It seems this is a war between light and darkness, a war between a country built on truth and facts and a country built and founded on lies.

May the will of God prevail

Why didn't the minorities support Biafra? I'm an Oron man. I don't know the origin and meaning of Biafra. Oron will never be part of it. Oron is richer than some European countries so it's country on it's own. If you want Biafra, best of luck.
Ok Mr oron Man why are u not fighting for oron republic ? ...that's a very important question or are u comfortable with Nigeria n oron as it is ?

I Know for sure oron is marginalized in akwa ibom n wants a separate states

Same mistake oron made by abandoning their efik brothers in cross river to join akwa ibom ...same mistake

But truth is biafra was a south south idea particularly the ijaw idea

Akwa ibom man was the last president of biafra Philip efiong maybe u should do more research next time

And honestly igbos don't care if u join or not

You just deflected from answering the genuine questions he asked. Shame on you if that’s all you could come up with.

Honestly speaking, if Nigeria breaks up South south groups apart from the edoid groups(Edo republic) would do exceptionally well in a biafran nation....the igbos, ijaws, ikwerre, efiks, and other ethic groups within the south south all share alot in common with the south east, interethnic marriages, being neighbors, similar cultures and religions....makes for the perfect country. Most people can't differentiate between Igbo and ikwerre, or Igbo and ijaw.....they are all blood brothers, and there's no biafra without their south south cousins and vice versa.

I respect your opinion but things have changed. These groups that you mentioned consider igbos as their greatest enemy. So over the years a lot of Igbo have seen their true colors and have given up on any form of unity or brotherhood with them. Let everyone stay in their own. The vast majority of igbos agree with me despite the nonsense IPOB is pushing.

Did anyone tie you down to force you to be part of Biafra?. Why do minorities like attention?

Do you think that if Oron people who I have no problem with, decides to be on their own that igbos will force you to be part of them?

What is wrong with you minorities? You desperately seeking attention for no reason when the situation doesn’t even call for it.

If you are an igbo man who has lived in rivers, bayelsa and delta, you will not pray to have a nation with these people.

The ijaws are natural killing machines. Ikwerre/diobu boys are lazy and proud armed robbers. What about warri boys?

I want a pure Igbo nation where all citizens are busy and productive. Not staying by the roadside with sharp objects looking for who to rob.

It is not a known fact, because the neutral Sir Willinks investigated the various allegations put before his committee, and in their report, they declared that there was no evidence of Igbos marginalising the eastern minorities.

By the way, I want an all-Igbo nation, as I am not ready for all these little complaints that may keep Igbos bogged down and not making the necessary advances that we have to make

Nice post OP!

Was Akpabio Hall at UNN named after Thompson Akpabio?

Anyone else noticed how Akpabio and Imoke, both former governors....and whose Dads played prominent roles in the highest levels of governance in the then Eastern Region, went on to marry Igbo ladies!? smiley

A Biafra with south south minorities (especially ijaws and the rivers tribes) isn't better than a restructured Nigeria If Nk's argument is that the igbo needs it's freedom,then only the SE and asaba with obigbo should make up biafra.we can have an EU type of association with the SS minorities

Liar they were heavily marginalized, Why was the capital of Eastern region in Enugu when everyone knows Calabar is the capital of Biafra, the Hinterland people were the slaves of Biafra, you think you can create your stories to fit your own narrative?

[b]Which dirty Willinks. So the Willinks didn't tell you how the ibos took over eastern Nigeria and made every other non ibo tribes worthless?
The British governed then eastern Nigeria from Enugu. After independence the ibos made sure they were the head of every meaningful agency/parastatal/board in the region, making the other tribes of the then eastern region including Southern Anglophone Cameroon second fiddle. Anglophone Cameroonians that held major offices in Enugu all of a sudden became common members without any major portfolio. This made some of their representatives angry and started a movement against oppression by the ibos in eastern Nigeria. When the opportunity came in 1961 for them to choose either to remain in Nigeria or join French Cameroon they voted overwhelmingly to join La République du Cameroun.
The Northern Anglophone Cameroon which is now parts of Borno, Taraba, Adamawa and Benue States joined Nigeria simply because they were treated fairly in Northern Nigeria.

The intolerance level we have in the east is as good as Islamist. Must everyone support your views on ipob and Biafra. The truth is simple Adamawa was also a British mandate too but they chose nigeria so why was south Cameroon which by then was English speaking prefer to join the french Cameroon over the eastern region. Abeg go and confuse those small little kid in nairaland who don't know their history and geography not me.

By building industrial Estates in pH and Enugu ?

Or is it by giving them almost equal representation ? Or is it through the even spread of projects like in the then Eastern Nigeria?
Do you truly believe that given a referendum that the minorities of Nigeria will vote to remain?
Even as of today, majority of homogeneous groups will mostly vote to be independent if given the choice not necessarily because of margilinasation

They were the first to announce no sale of land to the Ibos, the Obong of Calabar was copied as well as every 1st class chiefs that of the Ekpe cult
They seceded primarily becos of the Igbo's they are most related to us than their Douala speaking group.

Do you know how many Nigerians are in Cameroon? Nigerians fleeing boko haram and hardship?
Go sit down one side with this your rubbish. Yes they are marginalised by the Francophone and what's your point? You mean it's better they be marginalised by the ibos than being marginalised by Francophones?

You built industrial estate in PH? So you ibos want to take credit for the works of the British too?
Things built by the British after setting up PH as a port city for export of raw materials they stole from Nigeria all in the name of colonisation. You ibos keep on amazing me.
Which equal representation are you talking about? Is 85% ibos and 15% for the rest tribes equal representation? How many persons from present day Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, NW and SW region of Cameroon was given meaningful position in the then eastern region?


Yes we in the SS are not thinking of remaining in Nigeria if Biafra and Nigeria decide to split, but never is going with Biafra an option.
