Last night in one of his regular live broadcast on facebook, the now elusive Mazi Nnamdi Kanu accused the people of Nigeria Delta of having no history and being confused as regards their identity.

Avid listeners would surely be aware that in his constant rants about secession Kanu is insistent on the region going with his dream Biafra even if he has to commandeer their land.

As much as I consider that an affront on the temerity of the Niger Delta Militant a formidable outfit if there ever was one.

But today, I'd like to highlight a little of the history of the proud persons that inhabit the oil rich delta.

Ever since the Portuguese arrived and began trading with the Oba of Benin, there has been literature about the ingenious people that reside in the land's riverine places and goes on till the formation of the country after the amalgamation of the North and South protectorates

The creation of three regional administrative divisions along majority ethnic lines, the Hausa Fulani of the north, Igbos of the east and Yorubas of the west, vast ethnic minorities in the central south of Nigeria, particularly the Ijaws were ostracized from mainstream majority agendas.

Tensions grew as the people of the Niger Delta were not able to participate with the major groups which lead to significantly reduced economic, political and social opportunity which in turn lead to inequality and resentment.

Compounding the parallel events of oil discovery and independence, this laid another foundation for conflict as many Niger Deltan’s saw themselves as second class citizens in an independent Nigeria.

Taking a step back and reflecting on the civilian population of the Delta during the years from the Biafra war, there was an increasing rise in tension over the unfair distribution of the wealth created by the drilling and extraction of oil on their land.

The resistance of the Government and Extractive Companies to address this unfair distribution lead to the mobilization of the radical armed militia, the Niger Delta Volunteer Force (NDVF) lead by Isaac Boro. The NDVF fought the Nigerian military for 12 days and even attempted to emancipate the region as the Niger Delta Republic, however, Boro and his accomplices were captured and sentenced to jail for treason.

Although unsuccessful, Isaac Boro’s attempt to fight injustice paved the way for other like-minded activists, campaigning for the same cause. Once of the most prominent of these activists was Ken Saro Wiwa, the leader of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People or MOSOP who advocated a non-violent approach to reconciliation of the injustices felt by the Ogoni people (people living in Ogoniland, a large area of the Delta) from the actions of foreign extractive enterprises, namely Shell, on their land.

The death by hanging of Ken Saro Wiwa in 1995 was one of the most poignant events in recent Nigeria history and highlights the deep sense of injustice felt by many in the Niger Delta.

So someone tell Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB army that the letter from the Ijaw Youth Council is still in vogue and they should leave all lands of the Niger Delta out of their struggle for independence

Gone too soon...RIP Nnamdi Kanu

What I see in Nnamdi Kanu is that he's under hallucination and he can't think deeply anymore

The guy is on drug

Nnamdi Kanu is a dead man already.

@op so you are one of kanus students...lolz anyways,
EVERY BODY BORN ON THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH HAS A HISTORY....
AND WE KNOW OURS
Your thread is useless because @OP you do not have the right to AUTHOR a peoples history..

It is becoming clearer by the day, that Kanu's IPOB isn't formed with the mandate of creating the "Biafra Nation" but for purely financial gains (in the form of voluntary/involuntary donations by followers and apologists) for himself and his cronies (executives of IPOB). Thus his methodology of "not building bridges" but destroying any that has pre-existed.

Kanu is currently a case study for psychiatrist/psychologists intrigues because he practices a form of holographic hypnotism that subjects his followers to condensate and function below their natural logical and intellectual state of being.

Haven't you read the book. Eboe: The lost tribe of Israel


Around 1300BC during Moses time. The slaves were developing Egypt then, the blacks among them are Eboes (changed to Igbos by the settlers they met in South East). These blacks are hard workers, they built pyramid, built almost everything. Then Moses came to liberate them from the hardship. They ran toward the red sea.

Moses divided the red sea and every tribes of Israel crossed but Eboe were holding Egyptian army back. They were the last to cross the sea. But Moses couldn't hold it any longer. So the sea closed while the Eboes were still crossing it. The water then brought them all the way from Egypt to River Niger where they settle down in South East

OP YOUR ONLY WEAPON IS LIES,,, LIES AND MORE LIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS..i dont blame you..thats all youve got

Mehnnnnn

I b dey like dis man talk...buh e like e don dey take watin pass am

That is why minorities in the North were given North central

And minorities in the South were given South South.

And further given Six states each to administer themselves away from Majority tribes.

Mbami of Gabon that many people called Nnamdi Kanu is only looking for attention, he wants the SS to join his paper country Biafra.

Them

But south south is bigger than South east both in population, landmass and resources. Even if both regions come together to form a country, south east should be under south south with port Harcourt the most developed city now become capital.

Atleast be brilliant enough to know when a jobless stupid troll is spreading propaganda.

Oh so it really pains you right? Hypocrisy ruined in your vein, have you forgotten "Jubril Al sudan" so soon? Is he not dead again ? Is Osinbajo not missing again? Kanu is dead and one impostor from Gabon has been claiming to be him.
