[s]Which King of Nembe? Is it the Nembe that was a vassal to Obi of Aboh. It was a known fact that the trio of Aboh, Oru and Benin fathered Nembe. Ijos were no were to be found during that creation and jumped from nowhere to populate Nembe. Check the Kings rulling Nembe from day 1 till today, virtually all had their maternal homes in Aboh. Again virtually all have Igbo middle names, which is a pointer that Aboh birthed the Nembe monarchy.

Lastly, Ijos had no guts to come down the Niger, the Oru's would have skinned them alive. Those who sailed the Niger were groups like Igala, with their military might connected to the Kwararafa kingdom.[/s]

Niger Delta "Igbo" Cant Give Biafra Direct Sea Access Because Of These Tribes

There is an Igbo obsession with the Atlantic Ocean almost to the point of neuroses. This has led to the forceful conscription of all peoples with moonlight fable links of their Igboid ancestry into Biafra, such as the still puzzled Esan people of Ubiaja in Edo State who suddendly woke up one day to discover they are Igbo.

The problem is even if for agreement sake all these Igbo claimed peoples were to agree (Impossibility) to be Biafra, Biafra still wont be an Atlantic Nation as none of these tribes seat on the Atlantic Ocean.

Take the case of Rivers State. In the unlikely event that the the less than 500,000 Ikweres allow themselves to be dragged into Biafra, the direct sea access will still be blocked by the below tribes that include Ogonis, Ijaws, Kalabaris who are all sitting right on the ocean and will never give up their land.

My advise to those seeking Biafra is to focus on the 5 state of South East to be taking serious.

There will be a Yoruba Nation.
Their will be 1 or 2 Niger Delta Nations.
There will be an Igbo Nation, it just wont be this Biafran hallucinations.

Igbos are becoming very scary people to Southern minorities as it is becoming certain that Nigeria will dissolve.

It's very fair to call out you duplicitous yorubas cause antecedents here have shown that it's mostly you grimey yoruba snakes that always create multiple monikers and burner accounts to hide behind the repugnantly predictable "we the South South" cloak to ethnic bait and spite the Igbos. For the record I'm a proud Igbo man of Enuani stock born and bred in Ibusaz and its very important to point out that the larger portion of the Igbo nation- I mean the rational thinking and practical Igbos (aside from the delusional IPOB deviants who are out of touch with reality) have categorically made it clear that we are not recruiting non-Igbo speaking minorities into the Igbo nation... they are the ones who are been unnecessarily making noise about Igbos dragging them into Biafra... all an act of attention seeking charades to be relevant and force themselves into the conservation of Igbo national discourse and self-determination.

The ideal and utopian "Biafra" that is practicable for every Igbo person is a purely homogeneous Igbo nation after we've weeded out the Ikwerre, some parts of Ika, Ukwuani and other tiny "Igbo speaking" subgroups still enmeshed in their identity crisis, the Igbo nation by and large will consist of the present 5 SE states, the Enuani/Oshimili people who have always maintained their proud Igbo heritage, and maybe pockets of areas in Rivers state where the people still maintain their Igbo identity even though Rivers state and its people as a whole have become very toxic to the tranquility of Igbos... we can make so without the Igbos there.
