Why Did Igbos Killed Niger Delta Dream Of Secession and came up with theirs ? by Nobody: 12:35pm On Jun 23, 2020

OF NIGER DELTA, FEB. 1966

The coming of the ‘January boys’ in 1966 and the near collapse of the Nigerian project orchestrated by the Biafran threats snowballed the discontent of the Ijaw youths and in February, Isaac Boro led a squad of 150 volunteers to pullout the Ijaw people from Nigeria under the new state called The Niger Delta Republic.
However, the movement was crushed within TWO WEEKS, Boro was arrested by the Military and was jailed for treason by General Johnson Thomas Aguiyi Ironsi.

RELEASE FROM MILITARY GULAG
Major Boro narrowly escaped execution and was given the job of setting up amphibious units by GENERAL YAKUBU GOWON. He was commissioned into the Military along with NDVF heroes and given the Rank of a Major. When he joined the Nigerian Army, he moved to No.2 Wilmer, Apapa, Lagos.

BORO ROLE IN THE BIAFRAN WAR
During the period leading to the Biafran War, Isaac Boro had informed the Earstern Region Governor, Odimegwu Ojukwu that the Ijaws will not be a part of the Biafran Secessionist Movement. On declaration of the BIAFRAN Republic(With the Niger Delta Occupied), Adaka Boro was made Commander of 19th Brigade under Col Benjamin Adekunle(Of Blessed memory) who as at that time was the GOC 3rd Div. Boro led the Military under him,mostly Ijaws to clear the Niger Delta of Biafran Rebels. Which he successfully did within a record short period and was hailed by the Military Headquarters in Lagos. He famously DANCED IN Okrika when the locals came out to celebrate their Hero.

AMBUSH AND DEATH MAY 9, 1968
The Biafrans had been whipped, Isaac Adaka Boro went out on private visit in Okrika , he was ambushed by fleeing BIAFRAN Forces. He was shot and killed.

WHO CONSPIRED WITH THE FLEEING BIAFRANS TO KILL BORO?

Opinions was divided as to the Conspirators. While some alleged that Benjamin Adekunle had a hand by some Ijaws, another set of Ijaws(Majority Ijaw Forces) however disputes it.
According to Roy Tomo-Spiff who was among Boro's Force that fought against the Biafran Rebels at that time.

"Now I want you to know that Adekunle was nowhere close to Ogu where Boro died, nor was he a commander of any particular unit or units. Adekunle, the Scorpion, was a Division Commander with a lot of Majors, Lt. Cols. and Cols. under him and he loved brave soldiers, so Maj. Boro couldn’t have been his adversary. The worst he could have done if Boro was insubordinate was to demote him or Court Marshall him. But Maj. Boro was a very brave soldier and was respected by all."

So, the story that Adekunle planned the killing or killed Major Boro is false as it was only a rumor. And we all know that rumors appeal only to lunatics.

GENERAL YAKUBU GOWON was also visibly angry that he had to redeploy Benjamin Adekunle so as to restore confidence of the Ijaw People and replaced him with Col Olusegun Obansajo.
The circumstance surrounding Boro's death is still not clear, but one thing is Certain, [b]HE WAS AMBUSHED BY FLEEING BIAFRANS

They are simply hypocrite, I pity south south claiming Biafra, their doom await them in the New mini Nigeria. Just because some south south speak igbos doesn't mean they are Biafra. Many south south tribes belong to yoruboid group but they are not Yoruba nor igbos, igbo language simply dominated the indigenous tribes because of their population. They are not Biafra!

1. Why do we hate Tinubu? What for?
2. Tinubu never worked with federal or Eastern Nigeria let alone stealing money from Ndi Igbo.
He never worked as Minister or taken any Federal Appointment!
3. He never joined APGA let alone sabotaging our Party's interest?
4. Tinubu didn't meddle in Igbo internal affairs either!
5. Why do we call him thief? What did he steal?
6. We call Yoruba "slaves". We never reflect on what it means to be slaves in the true sense of the word.
7. We are putting mouth in Lagos politics without caution, yet we have a proverb that says it is the foolish housefly that follows the corpse into the grave.

I think their backgrounds don't accommodate dissenting opinions.
If they give IPOB their Biafra today, it will be an authoritarian State like North Korea where people that express contrary opinions and/or dissenting views will be labeled 'traitors' and executed.
During the Civil War, those who were perceived to have contrary opinions from that of Ojukwu like Ifeajuana and Banjo were framed-up as traitors and murdered by firing squad.
Minorities and even some Igbos who were deemed unsympathetic to the Biafran course were called 'Sabos' and were sometimes murdered. Some were buried alive.
