The igbos also committed atrocities against the minorities. But they dont want that part to be out there. So they embark on mass victim mentality. But the people in akwa cross, abonema, port harcourt, bendel and asaba know the truth. 6 Likes |

michelz: You are all working your criminal ass off to pay taxes to pay Yoruba public severnts and oil the lifestyle of omoluabis and you cannot see the silliness of you boasting about it? The speed at which Yoruba Nation will arrive will shock you One Nigeria Unity Begging Ibos. Nigeria is ending soon. No one want to carry same passport as Ibos. Soon the world will know that Ibos are the criminal elements in Nigeria from time immemorial. See below, Ibo crime culture in historical perspective. 2 Likes

spearman: Well, that's one way to look at it; another perspective could be that those other Nigerians are exhausting the resources of No man's land while sending their money back home for investments. To them, it's a win- win. As per your attached image, I noticed that Yoruba took second. Not a bad result if you ask me.

michelz:It will be a win win when Yoruba Nation is actualized and Yorubas can enact law and order. For now inside Nigeria, it's chaos. Yorubas are a distant second and they had a larger population that Ibos. Ibos as usual didn't disappoint. Ibos: First in All Crimes in All Climes. 2 Likes |

seunmsg:The minority like myself feel relieved. Before the war Igbos were our slave masters and neocolonist. The annoying thing is that we welcomed them into our space . Many of them came in as menial job seekers. But when the government of Eastern Nigeria was found in their hand they overnight became our overlord. We were helpless. How could someone who had been your slave and living at your mercy suddenly become one's master? The minority lost dearly in the war but defeating Igbo dominance was our greatest reprieve. This is the particular reason why the minority moved on and remain happy despite the human and material lose. Now the igbos know their boundaries. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

chrisxxx:This was the gravest travesty of colonial rule, joining anyone with Ibos. I have often wondered what the rational was for the British creating the Eastern Region. The colonials just like they did with Fulanis on Nigreia effectively put every minority under Ibo bondage. Ibos unlike the Yorubas did with Midwest, Ibos were never going to allow a separate region for the minorities. Ibos after 100,000 years in slavery including building the great moat, Ibos even had the proud Binis in bondage for 6 weeks of Midwest occupation . What a horror Biafra was for the SS. An inferior culture ruling superiors. Slaves ruling masters. 3 Likes |

Nothing is preventing the other ethnicities from lending a voice to the story, they weren’t dragged into the war. The Eastern legislative body mandated Ojukwu to declare Biafra because Gowon reneged on the Aburi Accord after three thousand Igbo civilians were killed in one riot. Frank Opigo, from Okrika, Rivers State proposed the name for the new country, ‘Biafra’. But the minorities have been silent and okay with the treatment the Igbo has received from this nation since then. You have to be very daft to think an Oyinbo man that has never come to Africa is the right person to teach you your own country’s history! 1 Like |

The fact is that some Biafran leaders had long desired to negotiate for some form of Nigerian reunification under Organization of African Unity auspices rather than persevere with a hopeless secessionist struggle at appalling human cost. But these men never prevailed over the Ibo hawks who always had their way with General Ojukwu and now, judging from Colonel Effiong's remark, have presumably fled abroad with him. Igbos were not committed to Biafra and when the coveted Niger Delta was liberated, Biafra died a natural death and Ojukwu and his war cabinet fled their village . 3 Likes |

spearman:Could you also be kind enough to tell the world what roles minority tribes played in the war? They worked as informants to the Nigerian forces. In fact, in my place in Bayelsa, they used to secretly write long list of indigenes who were suspected of being Biafran sympathisers. They summit the list to the Nigerian forces who then arrested and killed most of them. About three of my uncles were killed that way in Bayelsa. One other one, his manhood was destroyed. My mom also told me how the indigenous women and men who were commanded to carry the Biafran soldiers across riverine communities used to intentionally capsize the boats midway into the journey and thus drown those soldiers who couldn't swim. My mom tells me that aside those men who were suspected to be informants for Nigerian forces, Biafran soldiers rarely brutalised them. The only bad side was that they were asked to provide food for the Biafran soldiers when they were in their communities. And talking about Igbo domination, how long did that happen? Eastern region was carved out in 1954. And from that year to 1966 is just 12yrs. So, tell me, how much did the Igbos suffered minority tribes in just a space of 12yrs? Oil extraction only began in 1958 or so, and it was not yet the major source of the Eastern regions revenue at the time. How many minorities were disqualified despite being competent? Or they wanted quota system and not competency? 2 Likes |
