Ijaws and Igbo fought before and they were quenched in less than a week. Or you haven't read about the fight between Thief Adaka Boro and Ojukwu.

This is why I said you are disgracing us...quit this disgrace. They are a minority and should be the one coming to you.

Run along little rat

kmcutez:


Ok, big rat.

tutudesz:

Eastern Region under Ojukwu fought Ijaw We all know the result of the real battle between Boro Men and Biafra troops

Ijoh:


Ojukwu only fought with Boro and his village youths.
Other Ijaws didn't even join hands, and despite the do many tribes under his useless Eastern Region he was using to fight Boro, and despite all federal government support coming, he still couldn't hold Boro and his village youths alone until after 12 days of serious fighting.
Other Ijaws didn't even join hands.

Your family and Ijaw may end up forming a country. Don't bring igbo into this discourse. Is either a homogeneous igbo nation. Or we stay back in Nigeria and fight for our place

AlexBells:
There had been serious bitterness between the Igbos and the Ijaws in a deeper looking, I figured out that the Ijaws are the closest related tribe to us.

When we keep trading the war rhetoric, it could all end up dangerously and I don't see the need for us to resort to hurting ourselves, personally some of my best friends and advisers are Ijaws.

In the olden days, the Ijaws loved marrying Igbo women and more than every other tribe the Ijaws as a result of earlier contact to the British kidnapped and sold Igbos into slavery at other times they had enculturated many other Igbos.

The reality here is that honestly if we don't get on in an agreeable ways despite our connections things can escalate.

We should remember that The English are also Germanic but the two nations of UK and Germany would fight the world wars at opposing sides. Igbo and Ijaws maybe related but if not well managed can escalate.

There are three options for Igbos and Ijaw post Nigeria either we all join together in Biafra, we all join together in Niger Delta Republic, whichever country we chose being purely autonomous or we shall both form separate countries while deciding on how to deal with common interest.

Opobo and Bonny, could both be independent city state while Opobo can be Igbo pritectorate, Bonny can be Ijaw Protectorate but if we love these common interest grounds so much we can both forget our pride and form a country together with ensured autonomy or continue staying in Nigeria together.

I believe in Confederate States of AlaIgbo also Igbo Province of Nigeria

After reading through this thread, I just concluded that you are here for attention seeking. You don’t form a nation with people who wish you dead and contained.

Please go and rest.

AlexBells:

What you said didn't you see it in the option that we can all stay in Nigeria cuase if Nigeria eventually divide we would have to sit in a table with them to discussed common interest unless you prefer the war approach and we are not taking about Ants here, it is human we are talking about

Youngmaster0:


What do you want to sit with the ijaw for or go to war with them again. Igbos to igbo nation, ijaw to ijaw nation, who is going to war here.

AlexBells:

Opobo and Bonny to where?

AlexBells:

The key focus is not forming a nation, the key focus is how do we deal with common interest explicitly Opobo and Bonny, should we have a peaceful discussion or go for all out invasion ?

Youngmaster0:


Opobo and Bonny decides for themselves. As simple as that, we never be in same nation with those blokes after Nigeria

horsepower102:


You don’t negotiate over what you own. It’s like asking to negotiate over the ownership of Enugu just because some Fulanis settled there.

AlexBells:

How do they decide for themselves when the two contesting parties had not accepted peace and as such no Refendum and the two interested parties are far bigger and mightier than the two towns in question, if the Ijaws and Igbos fail to reach peace in this situation don't you think that the option for them to decide for themselves may not be available.

Cjrane2:
Igbos and Ijaws in one country is DEAD ON ARRIVAL!

Why would anyone want to leave Nigeria just to create a worse and deadlier country with Ijaws?? It is the height of idiocy to propose such a preposterous thing!

We should instead propose how the rest of West, Central, East, and Southern African countries can join together as one-pan African country than stay with only Ijaws in one tiny Ijaw-Igbo country. Tufikwa!

Youngmaster0:


Open thread on how to settle the opobo Bonny issue, not how igbos and ijaw may end up in same nation. That is never happening

AlexBells:

So you are saying in this regards that you shall evacuate the Fulanis or conduct an Ethnic cleansing when their people are close by in the other side, do you think that if you are going to certainly kill a rat that it would not fight back or you are saying we shall forcefully include those Fulanis that settled there into Our Igbo Country?

Svlla:


Thank you for this...

I don't know what this Alex person is trying to achieve opening a thread like this. This is insulting to Igbos

horsepower102:


Who mentioned anything about ethnic cleansing?

Just find something else to do with your time.
