Leave my brothers let them be lying to themselves with half truths and have lies.

The people lies dey weak me.

Kinematics:



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.

A point of correction,the regions in Nigeria (West and East) were self ruling before independence .
The ph industrial estate was built by the Eastern regional government and not the federal -colonial government (the built the apapa industrial estate and the ports).
Your statistics on representation is wrong also
the first page if this thread answered your questions perfectly- but no you will only see what you want to see

Ipobians are at fault for giving some of you guys an over bloated sense of importance, if there ever is to be a Biafra nation, most igbo's will want a nation free of the SS minorities (apart from asaba and obigbo) you guys are more harm than good. And besides the SS minorities will never agree to a single nation.

Nonsense from ipig miscreant as usual. So it was Ibos that founded PH, not the British who built it and named it after Lewis Harcourt, then colonial secretary?
So eastern region was already self governed as at 1916 when the port city of Port Harcourt was formed?
You must be filled with made in aba history

The ph industrial estate is what we are talking about abi U don the shift goal post?

If the Colonials were totally in charge of governance in the East before independence, why are you now accusing the Igbo of politically marginalizing the Eastern minorities?
The colonial report refrenced by igbiod is unequivocal in it's conclusion

So it was ibos that built the industrial estate not the The British? You must be an ndi potopoto clown.
Colonials were in charge but Nigerians clamour for independence which was granted. After independence you ibos continued from where the British stopped in marginalising the other tribes. Hence no SS person will ever dream of joining you lying ipig miscreants.

Warripikine:
The foolanis conquered the hausas/minorities and installed emirs..

The foolanis also conquered kwara state..

Sometime around 1535, the Nupe(so called minority) occupied Oyo and forced its ruling dynasty to take refuge in the kingdom of Borgu...

Oyo subjugated the kingdom of Dahomey in the west in two phases (1724–30, 1738–48) and traded with European merchants on the coast through the port of Ajase..

Pls which tribe did the Igbo's acquire through conquest

U were never strong and you were kinda too decentralised
Dahomey fought with You
We won several times
Even at Abeokuta after the dissolution of the Oyo empire
And the Fulani overtook Ilorin not Kwara

The regional Eastern government was responsible for building the ph industrial estate. Your disputing it won't change facts.
And don't think am not unto the game you guys are playing on Nairaland.
Imagine the daming stats shown below and yet it's the Igbo that is Nigeria's problem.

Igboid:
Many times, some of the emotionally charged stories we get from Minorities against Ndiigbo is that the region was marginalizing them while taking oil from their Region.
But we know that Crude oil was never a major source of income and revenue for Eastern region. It took long time for oil to be a money spinner.
Eastern region was always cash trapped and had to be innovative to make money. Minorities were not the only ones neglected. There are many parts of Igboland that never knew what Government meant. There was simply not enough funds to go round.

To show how inconsequential crude oil was in scheme of things in this period, Eastern region got only 65,000 pounds from crude oil exploitation in 1959. A big money for an individual, but hardly anything for a Region.
I would post a table for crude oil revenue for Nigeria between 1961 to 1965. Remember the civil war happened in 1967.
Because I notice when minorities talk of marginalization, they think of crude oil in this modern era when production has been ramped up and muddle it up with meagre revenues in early 60s when the country was still trying to develop the crude oil.

It is in trying to be innovative and create alternative source of Income for the region that the then Financial minister of the region,DR S.E Imoke introduced the P.A.Y.E system of taxation for the first time in Nigeria in 1956 as financial bill proposal to Eastern Assembly, which became a huge success in ramping up the region revenue and was subsequent copied by the rest of the country.
And guess who had 2/3 of the region population and hence contributed most (2/3) to the taxes? You guessed right, Igbos!

Igboid, you will have a long life ahead of you. I have reiterated crude oil played no part in development of eastern region of Nigeria. Nigeria started lifting crude oil in 1961 but did not accrued dividends until 1967 during the war.

Kinematics:



Igbo man say the truth as it is. [b]Southern Anglophone Cameroon joined La République du Cameroun simply because they felt cheated by the Igbos in Eastern Nigeria. This is a known fact.[/b]

They had one ministerial appointment on the federal level and another at the regional level. How many did Ijaw have?

eduj:

Expert in cartography and history? And also igbo ? You and I know that's a lie but anything to make you feel important. In what aspect did igbo's marginalize the minorities?
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

You are not the authority to determine who is more igbo than the other. Just like we have igbo Muslim who I try tolerate so with igbo traditionalist. Every igbo must not share this Biafra propaganda. We have choice and we should respect people choice.

Excuse me, how does your writup relate to my post? I didn't claim any group where more Igbo than others. kinematics can't be igbo cause he never sees anything good about us.Since I brought up a screenshot from an oxford university report about ethnic composition of Governance in Nigeria he ran away.

BENARI:
Since Fulani people learnt how to open thread on nairaland, them do gree us rest again o.

Igbo people, don't bother, this person is not yoruba. Stop attacking yorubas for every anti Igbo thread or post. The fulanis are exploiting the two tribes both here and on Twitter. They know your unity is their Waterloo.

How is this an anti IGBO thread?

Why did southern Cameroon secede if we treated them well.

They simply wanted to leave.

And they were allowed to, today they are being killed in Cameroon

Uteghe:

..so why didn't the minorities support Biafra?

Pls stop being abnormal. The entire tribes eastern Nigeria met, discussed biafra, agreed to secede from d zoogeria and fought till the very end.....EVERY EASTERN TRIBE SUPPORTED BIAFRA, NO ONE WAS FORCED.

During the ethnic cleansing in d north, every tribe in the SS n SE were slaughtered

It is forbidden in IGBO culture to oppress, conquer n sieze people's land

Keep your Biafra to igboland

Awusa-afonja keep quiet n remove urself from IGBO matter.

Paid dolt.

JohnSin97:
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.

Ikwerre is IGBO Sire

Painment.you ipobians find it difficult to make intelligent comments.so it is everybody in ss that support Biafra?

Uteghe:

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.

Oron people can remain with Nigeria after biafra is achieved, its not a problem @all, u people are too small for anything

Its ur fact, not a known fact.

This thread has shown clearly that minority tribes were never cheated in the old eastern Nigeria...Take ur stuupidity out of here
