My friend, you are not being truthful to yourself, the bight of Biafra is not an ijaw name, it's a Portuguese name, they named the surrounding water at the coast of eastern Nigeria the bight of Biafra, it was changed to the bight of Bonney after the civil war to get rid of the name Biafra , the name was suggested to ojukwu by an ijaw elder Frank opigo when the elite's of eastern Region from all tribes met at Enugu and mandated ojukwu to declare Biafra


The name Isaac Boro gave when the ijaws were agitating was niger Delta Republic, Isaac Boro was a student in university of Nigeria nsukka at that time

You are the one not truthful to yourself. The name was never suggested to Ojukwu. It was a name the minorities of the Eastern Region planned using for theirselves to secede. Ojukwu stole the name. That’s the truth.

jimyjames:

Hold him responsible for what exactly? Biafra fought for independent and lost which is normal in all civil wars, it's not like the ijaws are enjoying more than other tribes in the former eastern Region , so why hold Frank responsible?

But Ijaws are not going for Biafra even when una claim say an Ijaw give una d name

VHILL:



He spoke the truth.
WIKE is loved by entire south-south including me

You dey mind these propagandist Easterners?

Ijoh:


But Ijaws are not going for Biafra even when una claim say an Ijaw give una d name

Asin ehm!! If we were for you guys then, what would make us change our minds now?? Av told the guy not to deceive himself

Umahi must have been sent by APC guys for this journey. Wike is a very powerful force and factor in PDP. This is a man who has been carrying the party since 2015. Wike personally went to Edo state, committed his time, money and great risk to stop APC from what just happened in Ekiti state. Why, even Obaseke he retained his political life, conspiring against him? The greatest mistake Atiku and PDP made is not to pick Wike as the vice presidential candidate. Wike is a force, Wike maybe asset to Tinubu and co.

Ijoh:

Well things have changed no doubt, we have ijaw republic agitators, we have akwa ibom agitators Biafra is now an igbo agitation no doubt about that, when the time comes everyone will answer his fathers name, at least we igbos have 5 states to our name right now ijaw has only one state which is the smallest state by population in Nigeria

The minorities never came together to plan a succession it never happened, Isaac Boro's niger Delta Republic happened between him and a handful of his ijaw brothers and it lasted only for 12 days , do you know how many minority tribes are in the former eastern Region? , you are speaking without facts

Oghene1st:


Igbo love who? Inconsequential people.

Can we stop all these tribal fights and work towards good governance for Nigeria?

No group or region is inconsequential and no group or region can claim sole reason for candidate win

PaChukwudi44:

No allow them to deceive themselves.Wike became politically finished after the oyigbo massacre.

Rivers PDP Candidates will suffer in the next general elections

This your bragging don too much.

You claim Igbo's voted for Wike how come you couldn't produce same huge figures in the south East?

Stop claiming what you are not

Wike had the support of Rivers people and some other south south people.

Wike shot himself on the foot by fighting virtually everybody and not because of any obigbo massacre.

I'm Igbo and I can tell you that your votes wasn't what gave Wike victory.

Igbo's may have voted for him then but remember that few Igbo's are interested in elections before now.

So calm down

When I say minorities I never meant just Ijaws. The fact is we’re the majority in this said minority so I just said Ijaws. Bendel, Efik, Ibibio, Ogoni, Eleme, itshekiri, Ogbia, Ogba, Ikwerre are all part. What I mean come together is they were in support of the movement like they are NOW

And I repeat, there was no time the minority in eastern Region came together to agree on a secession, and none of these minority tribes supported Isaac boro's agitation for niger Delta Republic, and even now, when the Midwest now divided into Delta State and Edo state were separated from the Western Region they were talks about creating 2 to 3 separate states in eastern region to accommodate the minority according to their tribes and that was exactly what Gowon did, he created east central state for the igbos, he created South East state for which was later divided to akwa ibom and cross river, then he created rivers state which later bayasal state was created removing the ijaw majority from rivers living rivers state with only minority tribes

Edo and Delta, Midwest region was changed to bendel they were never part of eastern Region

oga go and speak for se, obi will not win any SS state.

Wrong facts. I never said Bendel was part of Eastern region even. The Ijaw tribe cut across their region so they were in with us in the struggle like it is now. Hehehe none of the minorities supported Isaac Boro?? Lolz where do you get your facts from? So if they tell you now that South South wants to be with South East in the Biafra thingy now you’ll agree? And you think it’s a decision South South took now?

PaChukwudi44:

Lol Even in that Akwa ibom that you claimed Akpabio was popular did he even win a single councillor seat for the APC?

Wike has offended the Igbos, Ogonis and most recently Ijaws so how exactly is he popular?

He has even gone to insult the Edo state Governor and you claim he is popular in Edo? How exactly?

Where exactly is his major support base?

The way u people make your political calculation marvels me.... how or why did he win edo in the primary

No permanent friends no permanent enemies

Lie.

Igbo's are not larger than Ijaw in population.

Where Ijaw occupy is as big as Igbo land.


False figure u propagate.

I'm not here to argue on who has the largest population cause everyone knows who has the largest population, I'm simply saying we igbos at least have a whole region to ourselves with 5 states, the ijaws have only bayelsa to themselves and bayelsa is the smallest state by population with just 8 local government even ebonyi is 3 times more populated then bayelsa , the allocation we receive from oil revenue in our five states is bigger than what the ijaws who claim to have the oil receive , so Biafra or not we igbos are benefiting from one Nigeria more than any tribe in the former eastern Region

Stop getting yourself deceived.

Moving like vagabonds without home everywhere doesn't make Igbo more than Ijaw.


Stop getting deceived by your politically rigged false population figures.

Why haven't you been able to use it and become President

How is JADA local government in Adamawa state southern Cameroon, besides every sensible person knows that 'Fulani's are spread in both West and Central Africa. What's your point exactly?

Yes I repeat the Niger Delta Republic was an idea of Isaac Boro and his ijaws brothers no other tribe from the other minorities joined him and it lasted just for 12 days, if Nigeria should break today as it is now, everyone will answer his fathers name, the ijaws will answer their name, the igbos will answer their name, the ogoni will answer their name, urhobo , Edo, Ibibio etc everyone will answer his fathers name there will be nothing like South South or South East

I still repeat, in case you missed the first one
At least we igbos have a whole region to ourselves with 5 states receiving federal allocation the smallest of this igbo state is ebonyi and it's more populated than the only state ijaw have which is bayelsa state, we the igbos are benefiting from the one Nigeria more than any tribe in the old Eastern Region

Ijaw is in Bayelsa, Rivers, Delta, Ondo… No sleep on bike Oga

Rivguydee:

Ijaw is in Bayelsa, Rivers, Delta, Ondo… No sleep on bike Oga

Yes I know, but they are minority in those states the only state that belongs to ijaw is bayelsa and bayelsa is less than 2 million

Rivguydee:

Even if Nigeria doesn't break ijaw is for ijaw, ogoni is for ogoni, igbo is for igbo, Ibibio is for Ibibio urhobo is urhobo, Edo is Edo, do you know why bayelsa was created? Bayelsa was created to carve the ijaw majority out of rivers state cause minority tribes like ogoni were afraid of ijaw dominating them, same way igbos were carved out to prevent igbos from dominating minorities in eastern Region

Chai Wkie don cool dowm, lost some weight.

Truly the devil you know is better than the angels you dont know.

Davel has once again proved the superiority of Ebonyi over Rivers.

You see politicians my brother, forget them oo. Make you no kill your self for them. Just few months ago, these two were roaring at each other today see na. Don't be deceived by their quarels

bentenny:

I think the reverse is the case here because the one actually needing soft landing in a PDP dominated ebonyi is umahi!

yes now doubt that PDP dominated Ebonyi state but they ve been scattered. Dave is a very intelligent politician. He can't sit down and watch PDP facing him united hence their present confusion. Mark dis post. I don't like Nwifuru but he's d next governor of Ebonyi state, d same with Dave as senator Ebonyi south n many others in APC.

I have my doubt because the elements or politicians that constitute ebonyi are still in pdp and will align once election starts no matter their differences!
Remember there are no friends or enemies in politics but simply interested driven folks!
You must also consider that APC as a party is facing serious bashing and battering from all corners due to their obvious performance on the national stage and the states are not left out!
Dave will discover exactly what happened to akpabio after he made that move to APC!
We will wait and see what transpires as the months roll on!

Dave has handicapped the main opposition in Ebonyi. U maybe shocked to know that Dave maybe sponsoring a candidate in PDP. Dave can buy any politician he want to. He's a snake, coupled with brutality n conne

Lets wait and see...Election is no longer far!
I have heard worse chestbeatings esp from the likes of Akpabio after defection about Akwaibom being an APC state and said all the national assembly members will port with him...Till date, only a House of assembly member joined him to APC!
The next governorship and senatorial election will be a litmus test of Umahi's acclaimed popularity in Ebonyi state!
