AmuEbule:


Continue to type rubbish while the headquarters of NNPC has been in Kaduna for decades.
You also kept yapping while oil pipelines were linked from your bight of Biafra to the North.
You are still sleeping but when you wake up, think harder and realize that Igbos have never been your problem at all.
Environmental issues have been ravaging your area and you are here talking about Igbos and Biafra after listening to traitor Asari.
Even when great Ken Saro brought up these issues, he was executed by who, was it Igbo people or Biafran's?

Continue to chase rats while your house is on fire. This is the same game you people played with abandon property, but look at where Igbos are today.

hes actually wrong. Ondo state was never part of benin kingdom. Ondo was just influenced culturally by Edos

Do you work @ the boundary commission?

It was named because it's located on the so-called "Bight of Benin". It wasn't named after the Benin empire, end of. But then, this is social media where people hold on tenaciously to the erroneous information they disseminate.

ubaobi:
All these divide and rule tactics are all for selfish reasons. The defunct Biafran nation had an Igbo President from Anambra state (present day South East) and Obong Philip Effiong as Vice President, from Akwa Ibom state (Present day south south) . The so called " IGBO COUP" that led to the counter coup and ultimately the declaration of biafra was led by Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu, an Anioma man from present day Delta state in South South region. He wasn't even from the south east but was conveniently labelled an IGBO MAN. But the same people will tell you that Igbos only have five states, Igbos are landlocked bla bla bla.

lifeisgood12:

ondo has never been part of benin kingdom.

dmbb:
Ipob are like cancer the moment they catch you they will never let you go , South South disowned them but they will never let them be . I advise that you go with your another borrowed name, dot nation

Throwback:
Well it is OK to borrow a name from a neighbouring tribe.

Gold Coast borrowed the Ghana name from the defunct Ghana empire in West Africa that was not anywhere near the territorial geography of modern Ghana.

Dahomey borrowed the Benin name from the defunct Benin empire in West Africa that is currently within Nigeria. So Dahomey became Benin Republic.

So I see nothing wrong that an Ijaw will provide the Igbos the name to call their Igboland, from the now defunct coastal description called Bight of Biafra.

Speaktruth88:



Una no even fit think of something for yourself. Just noise noise noise. Why should you take somebody’s name go and think of your own. Una no get land with Igbo name?

Juliusmalema:
God bless Asari Dokubo aka Alabo-Ediabali for saying this raw truth and fact.

Biafra as a name belongs to Ijaw. Ask all these Igbos shouting biafra the meaning of it they don't know just that Their fugitive leader told them to be calling biafra.

How can I be part of what I doesn't know the meaning and something that has links to Ijaw people ( James Manager comes to mind)...A name with no single meaning in Igbo language.

On a serious note, making Biafra an Igbo matter was a wrong move. Infact, it wont be bad if an ijaw man or woman leads Biafra. When u make Biafra an Igbo event alone, u are pushing away those who are also part of the Biafra with Ojukwu. Remember, the vice in command to Ojukwu was someone from Ibibio. There were other major minor tribes in Biafra. Igbos were just major tribe with highest population. That does not make Biafra an Igbo stuff. Biafra was actually something that belonged to Igbos and other tribes in the old eastern region. The mistake made by those who are struggling for Biafra was making it solely an Igbo affair. Only Igbos cant win this struggle.

This pig is right, the Bight of Biafra (officially called the Bight of Bonny, is a bight off the West African coast, in the easternmost part of the Gulf of Guinea. It was where slave traders ship slaves to Europe.
Ojukwu in his greed to have the oil included ijaw lands to the igbo nation but he was betrayed by Ken saro wiwa and the ijaw kingsmen who did not want to be second class citizens.
Ojukwu chose the name Biafra to please the ijaws.
My advise for the igbos is to accept their five states and move on. The oil in Nigeria is a curse. the world is moving towards clean energy and the igbos are enterprising.

its an historical fact. Benin kindgom comprised of edo and a very tiny fraction of lagos state.

Throwback:


I know it was named after the Bight, which itself was named after the kingdom that once thrived and traded along that coast.

Conclusion is that the name Benin Republic owes its name to the Benin Kingdom.

Nnpc headquarter is in Abuja not Kaduna.

No wonder Igbos will organize themselves and be discussing rubbish full of ignorance.

Ndi uchu.

See your sorry Life? Losers like you cannot type when you are faced with hard facts.
If you like, use your other handles to like your post, that your cup of ogogoro right there.

Is that all you know with your blank brain? NNPC Headquarter was moved from where to Abuja.
It was never located in your region, why, because of losers like you who don't know you are being played.
Keep writing rubbish about other tribes and don't pay attention to yours.
What you are exhibiting is a curse and not a blessing or wisdom. Anu Mpama

abu12:



why will you say ken sar-wiwa betrayed ojukwu? Rather it was pay back time for ojukwu in 1967 . the ijaw and Benin fought against Biafra because, ijaw tribe was the first ethnic group to fight for breakup of Nigeria, lead by Isaac Adaka Boro, but Igbo( ojukwu and ironsi) people stop him from achieving their aim.
