How The Igbos Betrayed Ijaws by AdakaBoro8(m): 2:38pm On Sep 21, 2022
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu is a Nigerian who fought on the opposition camp against Nigeria during the civil war.
It is safe to say he started the civil war with his declaration of a biafra as a
federation.

What many people don't know is that before this civil war, there was another, that was short lived. As a matter of fact, it lasted for only 12 days. This was led by Major Isaac Boro Adaka.

Major Isaac Boro Adaka popularly called Boro, was born on the 10th of September, 1938. He is the son of a missionary school head.

So Boro had a formal education up to the university level. As a matter of fact he was the SUG president (number one student) of the university of Nigeria Nsuka as at then.

Isaac Boro was from the oil rich land of olobiri, in present day Bayelsa. Then, those areas were all under what is called the 'eastern region', which was then headed by the military governor 1954.. Guess who the millitary governor was? Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu. Yes our very own Ojukwu.


the capital of the eastern region was in Enugu state. Despite the fact that the Ijaw region produces the oil, they were sidelined by the Aguiyi Ironsi military led administration, Irrespective of the fact that Adaka Boro niger delta region laid the Golden egg, dim Ojukwu didn't mind or consider them.
This caused major Isaac Boro to abandon his studies in his finals, to lead an arm protest against the government of Aguiyi Ironsi, over the poor treatment melted out to his people...

before this, Ijaw elder, Dapper Biriye had moved a motion to carved the niger delta or Rivers state out of the Igbo dominated eastern region just as the Yorubas carved out the other niger deltas from their western region to have their midwest, but the Igbos rejected it...

When all political peaceful movements by Dapper Biriye went abortive, the declaration of the niger delta Republic became the only means...

Adaka Boro see the only way to freed Ijaw from the eastern region was to leave nigeria entirely, so he declared the niger delta Republic on february 29 1966,
This republic lasted only 12days because aguiyi ironsi and ojukwu ordered the whole Nigeria military strength on them...

Aguiyi ironsi the military president of nigeria and Ojukwu the military governor of eastern region killed 150 Ijaw youths and arrested Adaka Boro and sentenced him to death by hanging..

two brothers, of ironsi and Ojukwu won the short war for nigeria...unknowing to ojukwu he will also declared republic..

Boro was in prison waiting for his death, but
God heard the cry of Ijaws as counter coup from North killed aguiyi ironsi and brought Yakubu Gown to power, released Adaka Boro from prison... not did Gowon released Adaka Boro, he also created the Rivers state out of the Eastern region for Adaka Boro and his people... This was a dream come true for Adaka Boro..

Later the Igbos massacred in The north and the creation of the old River state out of the eastern region by Yakubu Gowon made ojukwu and his people got angry, because they felt, the oil rich Oloibiri was no longer part of their eastern region again.....

The frustrated ojukwu got angry at Gowon for breaching the aburi accord, by creating the oil Rich Rivers state out of his eastern region, so ojukwu without blink of eyes declared the Republic of biafra and forcefully included the already created Adaka Boro's Rivers state...

This criminal act from ojukwu made Boro got angry, so with help from Gowon, Boro trained his 1,000 Rivers soldiers of Ijaw extraction and fought the biafran forces.
Boro and his 1,000 Rivers men got lot of success in the war as they killed thousands of biafran forces and evicted all biafrans out of the River state...

10 months into fight Adaka Boro already got lot of success. he recaptured all territories captured by the conquest biafran forces in River state.... but the mighy hero was killed on a mysterious circumstances at Okrika...

No one know who killed the hero, opinion were divided as some said it was a lone biafra soldier who shot him from hideout, while others said it was adekunle Benjamin the nigeria military leader who ambushed him for jealous of his success in the war...

Who really killed the hero?

Adaka Boro was not just hero but a prophet because he saw today nigeria which everyone refused to see...

Adaka Boro was not just hero and prophet but also a saviour..

Adaka Boro will forever lives in our heart.

He freed us from biafra and the demonic eastern region.

Adaka Boro will forever be remembered in history.

The thing about the so called Niger Delta Republic that Adaka Boro supposedly declared is that nobody had ever seen a map of it. Nobody knows what area was was supposed to be Niger Delta Republic, nobody knows where the capital would have been, the currency they would have used, their coat of arms or anthem, their structure of government and head of state

I dont know what Boro was thinking, having nothing on the ground but declaring a country. If it was that easy to get a country, Sunday Igboho and Nnamdi Kanu would go somewhere, and make declarations to get separate countries

Getting a Niger Delta Republic is a good thing for those who want it, Nigeria is simply not working

However, getting a seperate country goes beyond declaration because it will look like a joke if it is just declaration

So, boro was killed by a Nigeria army, it is not a betrayal but biafran that called you brothers and never killed any of you betrayed you. all this twisting of history just to make ijaw see igbos as enemy forgetting that igbos and ijaws are like 5 and 6 is an effort in futility. just be fooling yourselves.

I am very disappointed in person of you saying this ignorant thing.....don't you supposed to know Boro fought the government with arms?

ojukwu used all nigeria forces on the Ijaw people....can namdi kanu ever do such?

If you said Boro just declared a Republic,,then I will also say ojukwu just declared Republic as well..... because what ojukwu did, is what Adaka also did...
Boro, declared Republic
Ojukwu declared Republic..

Boro fought government
ojukwu fought government.

So what is difference between the two people agitation?

Below is the Photograph of the biafran soldier that killed Isaac adaka boro

adaka boro was killed by a biafran soldier at Okrika

Truth is Light

Gen alabi isama was the one who saved the Life of the biafran soldier that killed boro after he was Captured

Many Federal soldier's were ready to Finish him off immediately despite him being a Prisoner of War

alabi isama had to send the biafran soldier who killed adaka boro to be detained in Lagos for his own safety
He would not have Survived detention by the Federal 3MCDO troops in the East

Biafra used Biafran pounds, what currency did Niger Delta Republic use?

Biafra had its capital in Enugu, what was the capital of Niger Delta Republic?

Biafra national anthem, coat of arms and even an embassy in france, what did Niger Delta Republic have?

The truth is that Isaac Boro was just another militant like Asari Dokubo, Ateke Tom and Tompolo

Adaka Boro declared Ijaw territories as niger delta Republic..
Capital of niger delta Republic, was wilberforce..

If you are not abnormal, you will know that Prophet Adaka Boro declared an homogeneous Ijaw Republic, which does not force others....so his declaration was genuine..

ojukwu in other part, only declared a false Republic,,,he even has the gut to include Ijaw people..just imagine...God save una sey, nor be dis kine era wey we dey vex,,,,if not... I just, pray you ibos repeat that rubbish again....wetin Adaka Boro do una, na chicken...
