They started killing everything that comes from both South South and South East up north and you run back to your villages. Nigerian government then unleashed hunger seige on the overflowing population of returnees that one no do you. Now the man incharge of the South said he's taking his people out of Nigeria to also save you from imminent destruction from the north but your problem is that they should not force you to agree. Just imagine, under military regime o. So, after many years how are you fairing living in the defeated state you aided Nigerian northern troops to achieve.

One day the South East will still secede and will accommodate the coastal States. Any objection to that will obliterate the entire country to Oblivion. You can't landlock a major Ethnic group because they named you South South. You either join them or create coastal part for their trade route.

Don't perpetuate hate for your innocent generations coming to bear. You sound myopic and delusional.

The painful thing is that this time, the not just oil and gas companies but the oil and gas itself will be relocated to Lagos

So you didn't see anything wrong with the fuul posting such a sensitive trash?!

Yea f*k off!!

My dad used to tell us about the atrocities of Igbos in Akwa Cross during the civil war, the Igbos were poisoning our streams and well water, killing mostly the young males, and renaming our villages and towns to make it become Biafra land.
Only a foolish person would trust the Igbos.

The Hausas are better than the Igbos. Igbos are similar to the Fulani people who are territorial in nature and must never be given any opportunity to rule Nigeria again.

That I bear Emeka does not make me an Igbo person so Igbos should be reminded that there is no Igbo peopke in the South South.

Should Nigeria divide, the South South will be determine which country to join and not Igbos.

Biafra is for Abia, Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi and Anambra.
No Akwa Ibom/Cross River is interested in that shitty Biafra so count us of out.
Our land is naturally blessed more than Igbo land and should we become a country we can manage our resources more than the Igbos cuz Akwa Ibom people are good managers, that is why Akwa Ibom is growing faster than all the Igbos states and our successive governors ahead of all the Igbos governor dead and alive.

Akwa Ibom is endowed with a number of mineral resources e.g Uranium, Oil and gas, Limestone, Lead/Zinc, Lignite, Salt, glass sand giver nitrate, Rich arable land for farming etc.


IGBOS SHOULD NEVER IN THEIR LIFE CLAIM THAT AKWA IBOM IS PART OF THAT ONLINE COUNTRY.

WE CAN BE GOOD TRADING PARTNERS BUT CAN NEVER BE PART OF BIAFRA.

rummmy:
We already know their aims so it will not work .
Dear yoruba Muslim,try another trick.

Stop accusing the innocent Yorubas, we the Ibibios can never be part of Biafra.

AdaojoTheUrchin:
Revisionist propaganda.

We know where this is coming from and the aim.

He is an Ibibio guy and he is right. No South South wants to be part of Biafra that is why your property was confiscated in Port Harcourt.

flexrivers:
Biafra is already dead, no sane person in the SS will support biafra. Especially, we in Akwa Ibom.

God forbid! Akwa Ibom is not Biafra. They should form Biafra with their 5 Ibo states cuz we are not interested.
We are richer than the Igbos in terms of natural resources so why should we be part of them, a people that we used to capture and sell to the white man before the creation of Nigeria are below us.

Lordsocrates:


Truth is, when we try to say this,they tell us we are imposters, that we are Yoruba masquerading as Southerners

They should continue to be deluded, this time it will be the whole of South South against the Igbos.
The South South is powerful now and will defeat the Igbos in any war.

NtoAkwaIbom:
Do a survey, go to Ibom plaza or any Akwa ibom area an ask, no one wants to be associated with Biafra, it's either everyone goes his individual way, or we all sufffer in Nigeria, but to be Biafrans, Abasi Akan utoh idiok mkpo ado

Gbam!!!

I dey always ask which kin sense it makes to leave Nigeria and be part of another Mini Nigeria again

hardbody:


While you are gushing this rubbish, my uncle married from uyo and my cousin also married from uyo. An uyo man, a one time commissioner also married one of my aunts. I am ibo.

How does this make Uyo Biafra? Stop forcing yourselves on people who don't need you. Be proud of your Ibo land. Don't ever in your life tag us Biafrans.
We are Ibibios, Annang and Oron

babydioku:
Yorubas always crying on igbo matters

Leave the Yorubas out of this. We the Ibibios will never be part of that pipe dream called Biafra.

You can force a person that doesn't want you to be part of you. Mine you this is not 1960s....the South South is more powerful and richer than the Igbos now, any attempt to try what you did in the past will mark the end of the existence of what is known as South East on the map of Nigeria.

keep quiet I'm Ibibio and I can never ever fall for this trash write up. We all know the useless propaganda, especially people like u.. All those crimes committed in the write up were perpetrated by NA, disguised as Biafran soldiers some of them even dressed up like Catholic priests as missionaries just to invade villages we have a full account of their atrocities and history never lies They raped our women and killed our young men
How can Philip Effiong the Number 2 after Ojukwu allow all those atrocities happen by his Biafran troops in his territory. Effiong is from Akwa ibom so you do the analysis. All these useless write up just to divide SS/SE won't work and it's Stale. By the way Peter Obi is our INLAW yea his Wife is from AKWA IBOM IBIBIO so no amount of propaganda will divide us.

Parachoko:

Nigeria can never divide and anyone who feels otherwise should wake up.
The Igbos fought against cessation clause when they were ruling Nigeria so why are they crying now?
No part of Nigeria will be allowed to secede, we will remain become less powerful like Ghana and Kenya if we divide.

ATROCITIES PERPETRATED AGAINST THE IBIBIO DURING THE BIAFRAN WAR:

WRITTEN BY RAY ISONG;-

The Nigerian-Biafran War started on July 6, 1967 and ended on January 15, 1970. The former Eastern Region of Nigeria seceded from Nigeria and declared its independence on May 30, 1967, following the massacre of the Igbo people who were living in the northern parts of Nigeria.

The dominant argument in the historiography of the civil War, both within academia and the popular media, is that the Igbo were targeted for extermination by the Muslim north. Yet, not much has been reported about the atrocities perpetrated against the “minorities” in Biafra, both by the Nigerian military forces and the Biafran militias. In particular, the ibibio people.

William Norris of the London Times who visited Biafra, reported an eye- witness account in which some men of Ibibio ethnic origin were beaten to death at Umuahia on April 2, 1968. These Ibibios who included old men and young men were apparently suspected of collaborating with advancing Nigerian troops. They were reportedly frog-marched across an open space while the local people attacked them with sticks and clubs.

In a related account, B. J. Ikpeme, a member of a minority group and retired Senior Medical Officer in the then Eastern Region revealed atrocities perpetrated by Biafran soldiers against the minorities in some towns in the present-day Cross River and Akwa- Ibom States. Ikpeme argued that Ojukwu’s declaration of the Republic of Biafra had been issued against the wishes of the majority of the people of Calabar, Ogoja, and Rivers Provinces, who for many years had agitated for a separate state of their own.

According to Ikpeme, the Igbo leadership, who did not like the minority agitation, decided either to force the five million non-Igbo minorities into the new republic or eliminate them. It was on this basis, claims Ikpeme, that Biafran soldiers were quickly sent to the minority areas to “keep down the people, detain or even kill all who dared raise a voice in protest against the idea of Biafra.” It was during this period that the non-Igbos started experiencing different forms of inhumane treatment, ranging from torture, detention, to killing.

Ikpeme himself was detained in what he described as a “concentration camp” and was later transferred to a prison cell where he was given urine to drink when he demanded water. Ikpeme described instances where the Biafra soldiers allegedly perpetrated atrocities against some members of non-Igbo groups. In Asang town in Enyong, from where Ikpeme originated, about four hundred people were carried away to an unknown destination. Another town called Attan Onoyon in the same Enyong was burnt down with many people killed by the Biafran soldiers.

In Ikot Ekpenyong in the present day Akwa Ibom State, Biafra soldiers were said to have shot many villagers. Ikpeme also recounted that similar killings carried out by Biafra soldiers took place in places like Ikot Okpot and Idoro. He equally alleged that when the Nigerian troops landed in Calabar on October 18, 1967, about 169 civilians in detention were lined up and shöt by Biafran soldiers. This same allegation had also been published in The New York Times as an informational advertisement by the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in New York. These two accounts, given by the survivor-victim of Ikun and Dr. Ikpeme, portray similar pictures of gross atrocities but with different underlying objectives.

Viòlencé towards the minorities was not perpetrated only by the Biafran troops. Approximately 2,000 Efiks were reportedly killèd in Calabar by the federal troops. The victims were said to be returnees who revolted against the federal occupation. The killing was reported to Gowon who subsequently appointed Dr. J. B. Ikpeme as Chief Justice when the killing had nearly been completed. According to Emeka Uhuegbu, the field administrator of the United Nations mandated demining project, the minority areas of Rivers State had the highest number of landmine victims. Akwa Ibom and Imo States follow on the list.

According to a study on Nkari, an ibibio clan bordering Akwa Ibom and Abia State, in Ini LGA, the Nigerian Civil War military operation did not reach Nkari villages until late 1968. Before this period, the Nkari people only felt the effects of the war. Essential food such as salt, crayfish, sugar, bread and so on were lacking leading to starvation in the area. There was no army occupation of the Nkari clan during the early period of the war in 1967, the people only heard from news on the radio that there was a civil war going on in the country, later they experienced scarcity of goods and drugs in the market.

In late 1968, Nkari people started seeing soldiers in the community. The people, mostly men were asked to queue up for the exchange of currency, from Naira to Biafran pounds, and all men of the clan who queued up for the exercise were marched out of the community to an unknown destination.

(Inwang:2018) also added that some of the men in the queue who later escaped while they were led by the men dressed in military uniform wondered why only men were mandated and taken out of the community to exchange Nigerian currency for the Biâfrâ money. Therefore, some people escaped into the bush whenever they were out of sight of the soldiers.

Women waited for days, weeks and months and their husbands did not return. Therefore, they fled from the community leaving the entire area desolate. The study found out that they were Biâfrân soldiers hired by neighboring Igbo villages to carry out the nefarious and dastardly act, so as to evict the people from their land. Till date, Nkari people are still in land disputes with neighboring Igbo villages – Ariam/Usaka, Ntalakwu, Ibere.

Igbo territory is landlocked and not one 3rd as rich as the South South, that is why they want to annex the South South.

Nigeria is going to collapse and disintegrate. Do you know why? Nothing holds it together.

Nigeria has no unity, no commonality of purpose, no foundation and built on injustice

The country is heading no where except disintegration

When Nigeria finally collapses we Igbos are going form our own separate country. What Ibibios, Efiks, Ijaws and others do is their own business

The process of breaking up has already started, large chunks of the North is already in the hands armed hoodlums

I have no problem if any group of people wants to leave Nigeria. I don't just like hypocrites who will be shouting Biafra and still b voting for parties like LP, PDP, APC, APGA etc then when their candidate lose, they will start shouting Biafla

Igbos love Nigeria, is because they do not have power they are shouting Biafla

You can see the way they supported and rigged massively for Obi in the Presidential Election.

richmond500:
hmm.
Truth is, an average SS doesn't really like the SE after the Biafran war, this is the reason the people of SS refused to give back the igbos their properties.
Most igbos will insult the SS cos they don't want to buy into the SS/SE project but history is always taught to make some people look like victims.
The igbos were told that the government killed 3million igbos. While in the SS, we were told that the Biafran soldiers forcefully took our men to war, raped our women.
My grandfather was also a victim, no one knows where he died, no one saw his corpse.
Now how do you expect me and other victims with that kind of knowledge to accept the SS/SE. Just as they can't accept the Hausa's, we can't accept the igbos

Lol, when the term SE/SS is used, there are cogent reasons for it. It's similar to the phrase Hausa/Fulani. The people of both regions are Christians and share similar worldviews. Again, there are significant percentage of Igbos/Igboid in SS.

If SS and SE agree to use the term in cohesion, I don't see how it benefits Igbos alone.

Talking about victims of war, I don't think the minorities suffered in isolation or were targeted by Igbos. That's not true. Many Igbos were also forcefully conscripted into the Biafran army when the war dragged on. It's similar to what is happening in Ukraine. Any country fighting a war will definitely forcefully conscript men if they realize that no one is voluntarily willing to join the army.

Also, during any war, especially a bitter civil war like that of Biafra/Nigeria. Desperate measures are always taken against saboteurs. You will see public executions, shoot at sight, stoning to death and other violent acts against saboteurs. They do this as a deterrent to others. If they don't, many would become saboteurs just to survive or out of greed.

As for SS indigenes liking SE, it has nothing to do with the civil war. The SS minorities have always been wary of Igbos because we are much more in number and also more enterprising in nature. It made minorities to feel insecure and threatened. There has always been cries of marginalization by minorities against Igbos even during the colonial times. You can Google about the Willinks commission. That commission was instituted by the British to look into the cries of marginalization by minorities but the report clearly stated that such was never the case. Igbos didn't marginalize minorities.

Anyways, nature made it necessary for SE and SS to forge a common front. However, if SS minorities decide they don't want to align with Igbos, it wouldn't affect Igbos as you think. Rather it will affect SS more. SS people are not treated any better than Igbos in Nigeria. It's just that you accept your subjugation willingly while Igbos don't. Remember that when Igbos were killed in the North during the 1966 pogrom, many SS minorities were also victims. During 2023 election crises in Lagos, many SS minorities were also victims. We may easily understand differences between Igbo & Ibibio, or Igbo & Isoko but to an average Northerner, there is no difference. Same applies to Yorubas. If Igbos fair better in Nigeria, it will rub off positively on the SS minorities and vice versa!

Again, your cities need Igbo investments to grow exponentially. Otherwise, you will just have infrastructure in place without much difference. The reason why ports in SS are not viable is primarily because of SS antagonism against Igbos. If there is unity of purpose, your ports would have been rivaling Lagos.

Asaba is growing today basically on influx of Igbo investments. Compare Calabar to Owerri and you will see that investments pouring into the Owerri has made it to surpass Calabar and the gap will continue to widen. So, don't think Igbos need you more than you need them.

How would the world react today if Russia instead of fighting professionally resort to destroying the grain farms, food storage, medical imports, hospitals, schools of Ukraine.

Armed hoodlums would be put where they belong by Tinubu, Tinubu is not a nonchalant individual like Buhari that will let non-state actors hold the country hostage.
Trust me there will be a number of reforms and constitutional amendments that will change Nigeria for good.

Hoodlums are holding Nigeria hostage because the present day government is sympathetic to their cause. Tinubu along side other Southern leaders will never take that shit from the North after 29th and that is one of the reasons the North didn't want to handover power to a powerful Southerner like Tinubu.

Bury your Biafra dream.

God forbid! Akwa Ibom is not Biafra. They should form Biafra with their 5 Ibo states cuz we are not interested.
We are richer than the Igbos in terms of natural resources so why should we be part of them, a people that we used to capture and sell to the white man before the creation of Nigeria are below us.

Discerning minds will know exactly what's going on in this forum! The energy and spirit being used to try and cause divisions between Ndigbo and neigbouring ethnicities in the east comes from the same place as the enery and spirit being used to drive the pro-Tinubu and anti-Obi/Igbo political narrative pre and post elections! The people sneakily and deceptively driving this agenda ARE MAINLY YORUBA....possibly with a handful of self-serving Fulani and Ijaw gaining from the status-quo!

This cretin i'm quoting is a case in point! He registered TODAY with a derogatory Igbo moniker.....ceratinly another alternate moniker out of many, and his set goal is to try and continue the anti-Obi/Igbo narrative!

The entire situation would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic!

Yes, they love Nigeria and it is foolishness for them to try to destroy Nigeria because they are not ruling.
When Azikiwe, Ironsi and co were in charge they were not crying wolf so why should they disturb us now that the story has changed.
The Igbos once dominated strategic positions in Nigeria, they even fought against the Hausas and Yorubas for mooting the idea of secession clause in our constitution.

They should go and build their backward Igbo states first before talking about ruling Nigeria.

You're right. Even Northerners are gradually coming to terms that Nigeria would divide someday. That's why they're doing certain things to either delay it or at least ensure they have certain things in place.

The removal of some things from the exclusive list is also to give greater control to constituent parts.

However, the greatest threats to Nigeria is economic regression and possible collapse as well as Islam. The central government will continue to weaken especially if Tinubu becomes president. At a point the country will become ungovernable.

Lol, how old are you, 12 years?

If USSR, a super power can easily disintegrate against the wish of Russia, its major ethnicity. Then why do you believe that Nigeria can't?

What about Yugoslavia, Sudan, India, Pakistan etc. Is Nigeria more formidable than them prior to their disintegration?

You think disintegration is what you wake up and do? No, it's a gradual process that happens over time and Nigeria is steadily on that circle!

If you understand international relation and politics, you will know that Nigeria has higher chances of breaking up than staying together, going forward.
