ARE YOU A BIAFRAN? by Jamesz12: 8:02am On Sep 16, 2021
ARE YOU A BIAFRAN? (1)

Those who arrested and sentenced Isaac Adaka Boro to death for declaring Niger Delta Republic were neither Hausa-Fulanis nor Yorubas but two supposed brothers of his and Biafrans named Odumegwu Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi who were still on the side of Gambaris and still trying to please them as at then. For declaring Niger-Delta Republic Ironsi, the then military head of state, ordered Ojukwu to get Isaac Boro arrested for treason.

Ojukwu, in an attempt to please Gambaris, fought Isaac Boro for 14 days within which he used federal might of “one-Nigeria” to kill 150 soldiers loyal to Isaac Boro, caught Isaac Boro, stripped him naked and sent him over to Lagos where Ironsi charged him to court and within just 2 months got him convicted, at the Supreme Court, of treasonable felony of trying to break away from Azikiwe’s one Nigeria, got him sentenced to death by hanging. While Ironsi​ and Ojukwu did all that to Isaac Boro​, they left untouched their own Igbo brother soldiers who planned a coup with which they killed Innocent Hausas, Yorubas, Niger Deltans, Middle belters leaving Igbo politicians unharmed despite they, like Zik and Okpara, were part and parcel of the corrupt Balewa government.

However, before Ojukwu and Ironsi could execute their sentence on Isaac Boro God intervened and the counter coup happened. Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over declared Isaac Boro innocent and released him. But just fifteen months later Ojukwu too declared Biafra Republic due to the way Igbos were being killed in the North. In declaring Biafra, rather than first apologise to Isaac Boro for what he earlier did to him and then ask for his cooperation in fighting to realize the Biafra dream, Ojukwu did nothing like that but without consulting Boro at all went as far as arrogantly including in his Biafra map the very Niger Delta areas which Isaac Boro earlier tried to pull out of Nigeria and which he (Ojukwu) nearly killed him for.

This angered Isaac Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa who both pledged support for Gowon in order to teach Ojukwu a bitter lesson for his arrogance and dishonesty. That was why Isaac Boro and Saro Wiwa fought on the side of Gowon during the war. Naturally Isaac Boro couldn’t have come out of prison to join the Ojukwu who jailed him and fight against the Gowon who released him. It would have been absurd. No rational human being does that.

This is the truth of what happened and which Igbos hate to hear but prefer to blame everyone else as if they themselves were 100℅ innocent.

Igbos must learn to say the truth because if the Biafra/Niger Delta Republic they now seek is founded on lies and deliberate falsehood, like Nigeria, it will not stand but will soon become a failed state like Nigeria. We can’t leave Nigeria for another Nigeria.

But we however know that Igbos allergy to truth is incurable, therefore Niger-Delta states will never be part of Biafra

I can't thank you enough for this post. I have maintained and will always submit that the Igbos should be sovereign in their own region and never to join or add their voice to anything Nigeria. Is it possible? Yes it is.

If restructuring is not coming then the rest of the country should have a conference where they should gradually give them a place of their own. Let MNK be their Prime minister or whatever you may deem fit to call him.

NO PART OF SOUTH SOUTH will join the madness of going with the Ibo agitation.
Ibos, take your east and go, call your people scattered all over the country to return home now.

Do you love history? Check out this history.

The man who suggested the name "Biafra" to Ojukwu was an Ijaw man called Frank Opigo

The man who co-chaired the committee that that gave Ojukwu the mandate to declare Biafra was an Ijaw man called Kogbana

Biafras first chief of Airforce was an Ijaw man called George Kurubo

The first person to publicly sing the Biafran national anthem was an Ijaw musician called Rex Lawson

The day Ojukwu declared Biafra on the 30th of May 1967, the largest non Igbo contingent that came to Enugu to celebrate were Ijaws from Degema and Yenagoa provinces. They came in Bus loads

All of this was after Isaac Boro had been arrested
