And what if they choose not to be part of....?

Igboid:


It was a retaliation attack.
Nigerian Northern Army were in Biafra killing Igbos, you didn't expect us to not retaliate.

Are you going to carry them across river naija to alaigbo?

Minjim:


So igbos committed atrocities during the Civil War too?

These Bini people sef.. Truly they are afraid of what they did at cable point asaba..

After massacring men of Anioma you guys are now claiming to own delta���..

It's better you guys seek for forgiveness from these Anioma people and stop laying claims to. Their territory..


I hope u have not forgotten what Nigerian soilders mostly from Benin did at cable point..

Now u guys are claiming to own this land..


The spirit of those innocent 5000 Biafrans or as may sound today.. Your fellow bendelers you killed at cable point will devour you..


You claim bendel out of love or just to punch above your weight..

Those asaba sons will surely payback.. And you may not want to share a little country with them where their population is more than yours.. Because we know it was soilders mostly from Benin that massacred Anioma sons..

As long as your plans dont include Asaba, Oshimili and Aniocha then no trouble. These three areas have never denied being Igbo

Daum:


We are cool bro.
We will only keep special relationship with Issele Uku even if she's in Biafra

9jakool:

Actually that's not why they left, that's just propaganda. Nearly 1/3 of the ministerial positions of the old western region was given to non-Yorubas.

If you were given a choice to have your independent state, then why wouldn't you want your own state to yourself? it's like saying Delta became a state because of they were being oppressed by the Binis.

bjdon:

Please dont come and attempt to rewrite history. Iam an Edo man and Iam very well acquainted with our history. The people of the midwest know what they went through in the western region and the have educated their kids accordingly. Edo and Delta will NEVER be part of any Odua nation.

Good morning fellow NIGERIANS.
I am here this morning to write facts and nothing but the truth.

I have been reading some misconception about the people of the Niger deltans concerning Biafra.
Now let me tell you all facts.
An average person from delta state and Edo speaks Yoruba language very fluently, infact apart from English and our normal Edo, ijaw, urhobo, isoko and itsekiri language, our third most spoken language of the people of Niger Delta is the "Yoruba language"
You can take this to the bank and cash it anytime any day.

For example if you go to mile two, mile twelve, Berger and the rest, most of the people, most of the guys you will see in those bus stops particularly in transport companies, most of them are from delta state and Edo ( urhobos In particular)

But the way they speak Yoruba, you will think they are Yorubas.
Contrary to the normal general believe that lots of Igbos are in lagos, apart from the Yorubas who are the legit owners of Lagos State, the second highest concentration of people in lagos state are the people from delta state and Edo.

In Osun, Oyo, Ondo and the rest states of the Yoruba nation, the second most concentrated people in those states are the urhobos and the people from delta and Edo.

Have you been to Ile ife? There are more urhobos in Ile ife than in the entire south east.

The people of delta state and Edo are like twins to the Yoruba nation.
Africa magic Yoruba has the highest viewers from delta state and Edo even more than some Yoruba states, only Lagos top us when it comes to Africa magic Yoruba.
This is not mere propaganda or some lies, i am writing raw facts here.
The people of Niger Delta, delta and Edo and yourbas have this Lionel Messi/Suarez kind of relationship. The love is Genuine.

Do you know that 50% of people from delta, Bayelsa and Edo grew up in south west?

You will hardly ever see an ijaw man or urhobos or Edo, itsekiri man, leaving in south east, it's almost impossible.
Even looking at transportation. 99% of flights and busses coming out of delta, Edo and Bayelsa State are all heading to south west.

Have you been to ore?

My whole point is that i believe in one
Nigeria but if eventually Nigeria breaks, I don't know about Calabar or Akwa Ibom
but the ijaws in porthacourttt and entire deltans, Bayelsa and Edo will rather form a United Kingdom with oduduwas just like the united kingdom and Scotland with Lagos being England.

The Gods have spoken and so shall it be.

Court rise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The united kingdom of oduduwas will be the most prosperous nation on earth.

Note!! I have nothing against the Ibos, i am only speaking raw truth.

Are you sure the Benin's are up to 300,000 in population? Note, Benin not Edo; Akokos, Igbiras, Esans, Auchis and Ijaws aren't Benin's.

You want to form a Kingdom of 200,000 people with tiny land that can easily be conquered and annexed?

tollyboy5:

Yoruba has her own historical flaws of with I'm working to further publicize.

Ijebu and itshekiri has the same yoruboid language and ijebu awujale who is the oldest king in southwest says ijebu part of Yoruba are not from oduduwa.
But Yoruba historian disagree with no prove.

Igboid:


The Binis went house to House in Benin city pointing out Igbos in Bini who were mainly Anioma people, for Nigerian Army to massacre.

Recently a Bini man came to Enu-ani forum on Facebook to preach Midwestern republic, Enu-ani people there reminded him of how Bini Massacred them.

Secondarily, Binis led the revolt against appointment of Dr Okonkwo, an Anioma man as the military governor of the Midwest by Ojukwu after Biafran forces invaded the region.
They called Okonkwo an Igbo man and saw his appointment as Igbo domination.

But today,Edo people are telling us that Anioma people are now Bini people.

Kwashiman:


You're not making any sense... Firstly where's your statistical proof that 90% of Delta igbos go to schools and Polys in Abraka? and even if that were the case, how does that correlate to the tangents of my post or make us less Igbos? bros drop that Kwale weed wey you dey smoke abeg, you can go with the Yorubas if you want but please do well to exclude Enuani from your madness. That we have a good relationship with the Yorubas doesn't mean we stopped been Igbos all of a sudden, stop this nonsense abeg.

Efewestern:



This is a lie sha. Bini never did any of such.



There was a distrust between the Non-igboid groups in Midwest and Ojukwu. It was near impossible for these guys to submit to a man who takes instruction directly from the east, what this means was that, Midwest will automatically become a vassal state of the East.

If you can keep emotions aside, you will know they did nothing wrong, humans will always fight for their interests and it was in the best interests of the Edoid groups to maintain their semi-sovereignty after receiving it hot from the then western region.



I don't even think Binis are interested in Anioma, they just want to maintain their cultural and historical links. Present reality on ground suggests these groups won't tag along with them, their best bet in Delta state remains the Urhobos, Isokos and maybe Itsekiri (but this is highly debateable, not with the recent Omoba crisis that saw the Itsekiris leaning towards their western ancestry).



If you can keep emotions aside, then I'm open for debate regarding the Midwest and its role in the 1960's

BKayy:

Only Hausa returned all Igbo properties.
Ojukwu even fought with Lagos government to reclaim some of his father's estate. The rest were converted to Lagos government property like old Rivers state did to Igbo owned hotels which are now state owned hotels in Rivers.
The only difference between Ikwerre and Yoruba style of taking over Igbo properties after the war is that many Yorubas did not support the government in their quest of converting Igbo properties to Government owned, some fought with the government over it but Ikwerre, both young and Old scrambled for the properties, Kanuri scrambled as well, especially former gardeners and gate men taking over mansions (they don't even hide this one in Maiduguri, ask anyone there)
Only Hausa did not take over the properties, they only burnt some houses and shops (those that the youths got hold of) but some even took care of the rent from some of the Igbo owned houses and handed the money to Ndigbo that returned after the war (ask about this)
After the war, Yorubas revoked all Igbo rights over all their properties (both land and Houses)

BKayy:

Yes, many of our people got theirs back, some got both their property and the rent the Hausas collected over the years for them. That was how they started from.
I don't know why people suppress this part of history. Even the part that many Hausas lost their lives while hiding Ndigbo in their wives quarters during the war. Once the youths find those igbos that were hidden, they kill the Hausa House owner.
Unlike the Yorubas that pointed out Ndigbo for the military to kill in Lagos. Even Achebe's Yoruba neighbours pointed him out as well
