The clamour for Biafra and Oduduwa Republics will die down when Nigeria gets a just and visionary president.

Buhari can't marginalize certain tribes and expect them to be committed to a united Nigeria.

Why are they bent on destroying all the structures of law enforcement and Justice? Only people who are interested in stealing your liberty do this ..UGM is not the answer to South East Problems..I am never wrong

bjdon:
I find it so funny that people think Edo will somehow be in trouble if Nigeria should split up. Did the Edo's not exsit long before Nigeria? We have everything required to be a small succesful nation, a friend to all, an enemy to none, with our Oba at the center of our culture. We will be fine

Fear Of Igbo Aggression Grips Niger Delta Tribes

Their is palpable fear of Igbo aggression as the many tribes of the Niger Delta contemplate their future should in case Nigeria dissolves. Itsekiris, Uhrobos, Ijaws look and see an IPOB approved map that includes of all places, Warri. How? The Biafrans have a theory to about every land in the Niger Delta. Only Edo State is sometimes but not completely spared.

Where did this insane appetite come from?

The case of Anioma and Ikwere is on a completely different level of insanity. Take Anioma. They have never been part of the Esatern anything. They started out as part of the Western region, became part of the Mid-West Region at the only opportunity to decide for themselves in a referendum, they chose by 93% (the highest margin of any division) to be Mid-West. Anioma did not say in 1963 that they were Igbos and wanted to join Eastern Region. In any case it had become obvious that the East and the North unlike the West were not going to allow their minorities to have new regions. The simple truth is Anioma is not Igbo. Anioma is not Benin. Anioma is Anioma, a unique people on their own with a distinct identity and many share heritage from their neighbors in all directions. All these are irrelevant to the Biafrans. Without consultations and despite of protestation Anioma has been conscripted into Biafra. Ojukwu captured the Mid-West and declared Anioma part of the 1 day Republic of Benin, not Biafra.

The case of Ikwere is much the same. There is substantial evidence that there are enough Ikweres that are not just dead set against Biafra but being referred to as Igbos that any such annexation at best is fraught with perpetual crisis. This has never been of consideration to the Biafrans.

Meanwhile different strategies are being put in place by the various nationalities to define their own destiny. One group, The Mid-West movement is seeking a Bendel Republic for the people of the old Mid-West Region which already has conducted a referendum for its creation and plan on conducting another to exit Nigeria. In a video conference meeting of May 5, 2021 the group pledged to fund arm purchase for local militias across what will be Bendel Republic in readiness to repel a for certain Biafran aggression.

Another group on the east of the delta have revive the idea of COR Republic consisting of the people of old Calabar, Ogaja and Rivers Provinces. What has kicked activities in high gear is the denigrating manner in which the IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu speaks of the Niger Delta. If you listen to the tone and content of Kanu's broadcasts Biafra becomes a very scary place for any southern minority. One can see why even some Igbo would not want to live in such a country. Kanu's declarations are absolute. Any deviation from some obvious absurdities of his and you're a slowpoke. Nnamdi Kanu is a man of great courage and a hero to any who seek freedom. But Kanu is a scary character to his Niger Delta neighbors and so are Igbos lately. The fear is that Igbo inordinate ambitions borne out of pure emotions will lead to wars in the Niger Delta post Nigeria,

Let everyone choose their destination, FREELY.
If you study Igbo nation very well, you will observe that Igbo society doesn't allow dictatorship of any kind because they are republicans. MNK is being torolated because he is best suited for the Biafra restoration but thereafter, people will decide. MNK knows the people he's leading and that's why he had said severally that once Biafra is restored, he retire to his village.

The question is if ESN was created to protect SE region, why can't ESN engage UGM to stop the unrest they have brought to SE...

That's only if ESN is not UGM

Seeeker:
ESN was created to tackle insecurities in Southeast. Why haven't they been able to confront unknown GUNMEN? Yeebos equal UGM

It is indeed a sad time when igbos now celebrate the death of a human being.

I still don't understand how the destruction of the south East is making you guys happy.

dederocs:
I see a lot of infighting, if they get their Biafra.
