Ignoramus! Show the picture of any Yoruba man who ever fought a war of liberation for 3 years? You people have never fought to talk of even getting to the stage of running away. All you guys do is

"Mr Hausa/Fulani! Sir my tongue is ready for today's a$$licking"

blues20:
Dude stop this shit. I'm a true Igbo son from Ebonyi State. So you no dey make mistake for your spelling abi

And you made the mistake of saying "Indi Igbo" twice? You must be a Yoruba impostor.

blues20:
Your correction will be appreciated, not your castigation. Thanks.

Are you sure you are not another Yoruba man who is dabbling into Igbo affairs? No Igbo man would ever say "Indi Igbo"

Which one is "Indi Igbo"?

Stop fooling yourselves. You are a Nigerian before been igbo. You spend Naira which you can't live without, your certificates has the seal of federal Republic of Nigeria, even your phone displays Mtn-NG you are nothing without this great nation. If you hate Nigeria so much go and withdraw your naira from the bank and burn it along with your certificates. Then i will know u are serious about biafra Biafra is a dead dream. We defeated it in 1970. It shall never rise. We will lock kanu up for life. He will die a Nigerian

Like I said before, it takes an exceptional person to escape the mental slavery of 'one Nigeria'..................

OP, you have to understand that the concept of freedom is not something most people outside the SS/SE understand. For most of them, Lord Lugard is God Almighty who made them 'Nigerians' in 1914! And that they shall remain to their dying days. Someone who is trapped in the mental slavery of 'one Nigeria' is beyond redemption. That is why Kanu is a great man, he thinks outside the box. He thinks like a man who is born free. He is a liberator and no matter what the devilish Nigerian Government of Buhari does to him, the ideology of self determination will never be quenched. I'm an Igbo man and I refuse and reject to answer to the slave name Lugard brought from Britain called 'Nigerian'
Amen

Damsonkc:
I do not give a flying f**k about Biafra or ND Republic or the like. Ordinarily, I wouldn't have commented on this thread but I wanted to clear out some wrong notions. Mr. Agbor man, in all of Abioma (Good land in Igbo language) only Kwale has oil. Agbor has no oil though both of them are in IGBOLAND. In Agbor, they speak a distinct variety of the Igbo language. There is mutual intelligibility between the Igbo in Agbor and the one in Ikwerre and the rest of Igboland. The indigenous people of Anioma and Ikwerre are Igbos. Go and study history. No one is forcing anyone to be anything. Funnily enough, the Efik and Ibibio see the Igbo as a closer kin than they see the Urhobos, Isokos or Ijaws. The people of the present day Akwa Ibom suffered as much as the Igbos in the old Biafra. Ask the average Akwa Ibom man. If you have a referendum, I am sure the Ibibio and the Efik and the Ogoja will rather go with the Igbos than go with the Ijaws.

Back to the question on the thread. Niger Delta is merely a name given to oil producing states. Imo, Abia and Ondo are oil producing states. The SS is different from the ND although all the SS fall into the ND. Now, go back a little further and you will even see that the SS is merely a political creation to divide the region that led a rebellion against the state. Rivers, Akwa Ibom and some part of Delta State are geographically, and culturally part of Eastern Nigeria . There are no clear cut geographical demarcation between them. You can go to Imo from Rivers in less than 10 minutes. A community in Abia speaks Ibibio. Some communities in Akwa Ibom speak Igbo. The question of who is Igbo is irrelevant for now. What the SS and the SE need is to put their heads together and fight for the development of their lands and better treatment for their people. If they can get said perks in Nigeria, fine. If they can get it in Biafra or any other thing, I honestly don't care. I am an Igbo man, born in the North, raised in the North and East, educated in the South and Working in the West. I have seen the good in every region of this country and I will miss it if it ever breaks apart.

I'm in support of regionalism as against the total death of this country.

Wake up and smell the coffee. Living in dreamland will not help you because reality awaits. You maybe an Igbo man, but regardless of where you were raised, you will always be an Igbo man. If you think that the Yoruba or Hausa man will ever see you as anything more than Igbo, think again. Nigerian brotherhood only exists in the mind of the deluded. We have tried for 102 years, do you know the result? Unmitigated disaster and millions of lives lost. We are not one, we never were and never will be. When something is not working, intelligent people explore other options. I believe that my fellow Igbos are better off outside Nigeria. Belgium is a country of 11 Million people. They have no Oil but they are richer than Nigeria. Switzerland and Austria are landlocked countries with a combined population of less than 15 million. Each of them are are richer than Nigeria, infact, Switzerland became an economic powerhouse based on Banking and financial services alone. I believe that my fellow Igbos and the minorities who are comfortable with us will reach such lofty heights when we become self governing. We will not reach such heights when we are still in Nigeria 'squabbling' with the Yoruba and Hausa man.

As for Niger Delta Republic, it sounds fine on paper but unrealistic. I am yet to see anyone carrying one single flag protesting for this unlike Biafra. Unlike, MASSOB, IPOB, BIM, BZF, there isn't a single organisation out there agitating for the minorities of Southern Nigeria to be independent, not one! To make matters worse for Niger-Delta Republic, Im not sure if their map actually joins together if you take out the Igbos and Igboids of Rivers state. Also, the Efik/Ibibio nation who are much closer to Igbos than anyone else have not indicated any interests in it. Either way, the indigenous of the land who the British criminal called Lord Lugard forced together into an unholy Union in 1914 must be granted a referendum to decide their political destiny.

It will be a day to treasure when we Igbos are no longer in 'one Nigeria' with the Hausa/Fulani and their Yoruba 'orderlys'

Kobicove:
Ben Bruce is correct in his assertion that Anambra is not an oil producing state.

The fact that oil was discovered in the state does not necessarily make it an oil producing state.

Personally I think what has been working for Anambra is the appointment of technocrats as the head honchos in recent times

The fact that we have people who have worked at the highest level of management in the private sector has helped in no small way to Ensure that things are done in the right way.

Another reason is that indigens of Anambra do not believe in depending on the government to do things for them...

Anambra is an Oil producing state. Maybe not on the level of Bayesa or Rivers but it is still an Oil producing state. Read the link below

parklamson:
EU will not dance to referendum song,they have their interests intact and will do everything humanly possible to make Nigeria a united country,not because of Nigerians but because of Nigeria resources. Africa is d target of all developed countries,and they have similar interests which is to exploit our resources.

And how does Nigeria splitting up affect EU interest in the resources? You think the EU cares if it is Nigeria, Biafra or Niger Delta Republic that is selling them Oil and Gas?

luckylucky:
Federal government should just release this Albino and deport him straight to UK where he has dual citizenship. It's a pity that this idiot has turned to ibos hero. Can someone of his right sense among you tell me what exactly is going to be the gain of ibos when they are strips off of their investments in South Westerners as soon as biafrans communities stamped. Ibos has not learnt from ojukwu civil war.

we never learnt from the civil war? What do you want learn? You want us to learn "how to be a Hausa/Fulani slave in one Nigeria"? Sorry bro, Igbos skipped that lesson for you guys to carry on with it.

dTruth101:
Nnamdi Kalu's looks in court today.
The dilector will never remain the same for the rest of his life. The dude is psychologically disoriented and formated forever.

That is what awaits any tout and terrorist like him. For the wages of sin is dead.

Yoruba propaganda. Posting old pictures from last year when Kanu was still in DSS custody . Lol. Why didn't you post pictures of him today looking fresh and wearing his Biafran wrist band?

OjukwuWarBird:
The Afonjas won't like this story. Hope British referendum on EU is an eye opener to those who think the world is still in the 60s.

Some people don't know that a referendum has been conducted in Nigeria before. Some people don't know that British Cameroons voted in a referendum wether to join Nigeria or opt out. The Northern part voted to join while the Southern part opted out.

oodua1stson:
[/quote]all these epistle on top your zero? Lol




[b]Now let me come straight, I dknt like the man or admire him one bit but I fully support the idea of breaking away from Nigeria. This country itself is a failure and our amalgamation is evil.

I too believe that the amalgamation was evil.

But what I don't like about him was the way he went about it and the way he ran off to ivory coast leaving his people to die

How did he go about it? He went to Aburi, reached and agreement, the agreement was broken, his people then
Mandated him to to pull them out of Nigeria which he did. How did you want him to go about it? Yes he left for Ivory Coast 2 days before the war ended and at a time when all hope was lost. But what did you want him to do at such a time? Allow himself to be captured and executed?

To further make mockery of his secessionist ideals, he went ahead to contest for seat in the debate which he embarrassingly lost because you people who considered him hero did not vote for him

When he was a secessionist, you people were against him. When he returned and embraced 'one Nigeria', you people were against him. Haba! Ojukwu has never lost any election in his domain. The only thing is that unlike others, he chose never to rig. So he was always rigged out.

Even when he contested for the presidential seat you ibos did not vote for him

I was on the ground when he contested and both times, we voted massively for him. He was rigged out both times because he refused to rig.




So all the love and respect you all claim to have for him is fake

There are very few people in Nigeria who are loved by their people the way Igbos love Ojukwu and it will not change for generations to come

jamalchance:
All dose kids supporting him/biafra go and ask ur elders what they went thru the last time they fought for biafra...

Same thing they went through when Lord Lugard was fighting to create 'one Nigeria'

jegz25:
and handcuffs

There is nothing wrong with hand cuffs. Most of the leaders you have in Nigeria today were in hand cuffs at one time or the other. Buhari was put in handcuffs when Babangida overthrew him, Abacha put OBJ in handcuffs. As long as a person is fighting for the right cause, handcuff isn't the problem

Nice one.

[b] The Federal High Court in Lagos has fixed July 8 for the hearing of the case filed by Lagos lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, against the killings by soldiers and other security agencies during the period of the remembrance of Biafra day. Adegboruwa has dragged the federal government before the court seeking an order restraining the government and its agents from further arrest, detention, persecution, prosecution and killing of members of the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB). At the last sitting of the court, Adegboruwa informed the court that the respondents declined service of the court processes on the ground that the hearing date was too close. The lawyer therefore sought for a short adjournment from the court to enable the bailiff serve the respondents. Based on the development, the court adjourned the case to July 8 for hearing.

Adegboruwa in the suit is also asking the court to stop the government from alleged constant invasion of Biafra protests by soldiers and policemen, leading to severe human casualties by soldiers and policemen except, and in a manner, permitted and sanctioned by law. Respondents in the suit are President, Maj- Gen Muhammadu Buhari, the Federal Republic of Nigeria , the Hon Attorney- General of the Federation, the Inspector- General of Police, the Chief of Army Staff, the Chief of Navy Staff and the Chief of Air Staff. The Lawyer is asking the court for a declaration that the arrest, detention and killings of innocent and unarmed citizens of Anambra State, Enugu State, Imo State, Abia State and Ebonyi State by the respondents, in respect of Biafra peaceful and lawful gathering, constitutes a flagrant violation of the citizens’ fundamental rights guaranteed under sections 39 and 40 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 and Articles 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10(1), 11, 20 and 28 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act, Cap. 10, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990 and is illegal, unconstitutional, null and void.

This wrist band is killing me! I need to get one! Nnamdi is the man!

Nnamdi Kanu, Ohamadike! Onwa gburu gburu! He came to court proudly wearing a Biafran wrist band! When a man is determined, you can never put him down

Dezzx:
great man you say, who fathered a murderer and paedophile as a son who misled more than a million his kinsmen to their early grave. nothing great about being the father of a cowardly general how ran away and left his soldiers to die on the battle field.

The thread is not about his Son. The thread is about the great entrepreneurial spirit of the man. There are many Chukwuemeka Ojukwu threads for you to go and make silly comments like that.

honourhim:
You see how hypocritical you people are.
You are not an igbo man yet you keep tearing your nyash over Biafra..
You joined nairaland and the first and only thread you ve opened as at now is this useless one..
Meanwhile you told lies here. Come to my village and you ll see a good number of families who are inlaws to Anambra people, including my family.
Again go to Enugu state Civil Service offices and you will see a huge number of Nsukka people there. The present governor of Enugu is from Nsukka. Okwesilieze Nwodo was a former governor of Enugu, also from Nsukka. Nnia Nwodo, a former minister also from Nsukka. Okey Itanyi, a former deputy governor from 1999 to 2007 also from Nsukka. University of Nigeria is at Nsukka. Nnamdi Azikiwe lived in Nsukka till he died so what are you talking? Pious Anyim was a former Senate President and later a former SFG. He is from Ebonyi...
You and your tribes men here should be ashamed of your hypocritical tendencies which you use in causing trouble among igbos. You people have been busted severally yet you wont stop. Shame on you.

Forget the Yoruba who is terrified about what his life will be like with Hausa/Fulani when Igbos leave.

Eze Igbo gburu gburu

tuale4u:
IPOB crawling on thier kneels trying by all means to make Niger Delta part of them.

My questions to IPOB charlatans is this: Niger Delta Avengers also demand release of Dasuki who is from Sokoto. Is Niger Delta now also part of Hausa -Fulani Sokoto Islamist Caliphate?

IPOB is pathetic. because South East is not relevant to Nigeria economy, IPOB is helpless. They know even if they destroy the whole South East including Niger Bridge, Nigerians wont even noticed it. Hence they are acting like losers.

As far as i am concern, IPOB is more of a parasite than Hausa Fulani. Atleast North provide food and Meat. Apart from wasting and depleting Nigeria dollar reserve to import and sell at wide profit margin,what is d use of IPOB to Nigeria? Anybody can import. Anybody cannot provide food and meat without land.Even d importation business, Dangote an Hausa Fulani is d don.

Nigeria want IPOB (5 south east state only) to leave Nigeria. They are d biggest parasite. Nigeria is better off without them.

I am a true full blooded Niger Deltan. If u like call me Yoruba. Even self u can call me Hausa-Fulani. i dont give a Fucck. In IPOB voice Chief Emani Ayiri of Itsekiri, Rotimi Amaechi of Ikwerre land is Hausa-Fulani because they dont support Biafra. U can include me in that ur deluded list.


This my post is a response to this press release by IPOB below:

Just look at this guy. What is the meaning of 'full blooded Niger Deltan'? Is Niger Delta a tribe? Is it even a people? What connection has an Efik man and an Urohbo man? What connection has a Bini man and an Oron man? Yet, they are the ones you call Niger Deltans? I laugh. As for the nonsense you wrote about Biafra being only 5 states, Biafra has never been an Igbo only thing, Biafra has always been about Igbos and the minorities who are comfortable with Igbos. The misleading headline you used in this thread is laughable. The fact that IPOB has announced it's support for the Niger Delta Avengers does not mean that they are leaning for anyone.

To be fair, violence is the only language the Government seems to understand. Boko Haram and Niger Delta Avengers used violence, Government is now willing to negotiate. IPOB and MASSOB went the peaceful way, they were killed. It's only natural that IPOB and MASSOB will support the Avengers since peaceful protests is not what the Government wants.

I was actually rushing to see the the Dam! Man you had me there lol. The Imo state people were warned not to let Okorohausa and his APC party in, they did not listen. Now, they are reaping the fruits of their mistake. So unfortunate

seunmsg:
Ojukwu is a bloody coward that ran away in the middle of the war he started. A gallant general would have committed suicide when defeat became imminent. He led others to their death but ran away when it was obvious he was about to be captured. He is a good example of how to be a coward general.

He ran away in the middle of the war? Ojukwu fought for 3 years, I don't remember the war lasting 6 years. Ojukwu left Biafra 2 days before the war. Only a very stupid Soldier will stay back to be captured and killed when they have a way to escape. No Soldier is taught to be a myter unless absolutely necessary. The only reason why a Soldier will commit suicide is if there is no other option. There are two things about Yoruba perception of Ojukwu that amuses many Igbos like me. For the Yoruba nation that has never had any of there son's fight a war of liberation in Nigeria talkless of even getting to the stage of running away, their perception of a coward is incredible. The second thing is that the vast majority Igbos are not pained at Ojukwu for leading then in war and losing over 2 million souls. Infact, Ojukwu is like a God to many Igbos. But it is the Yoruba man who Ojukwu did not lead who is pained about the 2 million souls lost? Who is kidding who? If Nigeria had gone on after the war to be a happy prosperous country where we all saw each other as brothers, I would have admitted that Ojukwu had been wrong to go to war. But we are even more unhappy with each other, less prosperous than before Ojukwu declared Biafra.

[b] A lot of people may not know who Sir Louis Philip Odumegwu Ojukwu is besides the fact that he was the father of late Biafran Warlord, Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu. But the fact is that he was one of the greatest Business men ever produced in Africa and one of the richest. It beggars belief that Sir Ojukwu went to Lagos with nothing in 1929 aged just 20 but 10 years later aged just 30, he was already managing his own chain of businesses which included, Ojukwu
Stores, Ojukwu textiles and Ojukwu transportation company. By 1950, just Ojukwu Transportation company had over 200 trucks in its fleet. How did he do it?

Born Louis Philip Odumegwu Ojukwu in Nnewi in 1909, the only boy and second of four children,Sir Ojukwu went to Government primary School Asaba. In 1922, he proceeded to the only secondary School in the Eastern region at the time, Hope Waddell training institute, Calabar. After completing his secondary School education in 1928, Sir Louis secured a job as a tyre sales clark with John Holt Lagos in 1929. It was working as a tyre clark the Sir Louis Ojukwu noticed that many Igbo traders who came to Lagos to buy tyres also bought textiles as well. With his meagre saving, Sir Louis travelled down to Onitsha where he opened his first business venture called "Ojukwu stores" and employed one of his relatives to oversee it. He then returned to Lagos and started sending down textiles on Lorries to his shop while still working for John Holt. Sir Louise's textile boomed. By 1930, Louis bought a second hand truck and employed a driver in other move his goods himself and 'Ojukwu transport company' was born. Sir Ojukwu worked tirelessly and by end of the 1930's, was the major transporter on the East-West Road. In 1939, on the outbreak of world war 2, the British Government requested the use of Sir Ojukwus fleet of trucks for the War effort to which he agreed. When the war ended in 1945, the British Goverment recognised the sacrifice he made and he was awarded a KBE (Knight of the British Empire). The end of the war also created a high demand for raw materials from West Africa and sir Ojukwus Transport business exploded sky high and he diversified into other businesses. Some of Sir Ojukwu's early drivers such as Chief Ilodibe (Ekene Dili Chukwu) and Chief Izuchukwu (Izuchukwu Transport) would later become Transport moguls themselves. Sir Ojukwu was so rich that in 1956 when the Queen visited Nigeria, the British authorities had to borrow his Rolls Royce and personal driver to chauffeur the Queen around. Sir Louis was also a financial pillar of Ziks NCNC party and when the party came to power in 1960, Sir Louis was offered the position of Finance Minister which he turned down, the position ultimately went to Okotie-Eboh. Sir Louis died in Nkalagu, present day Ebonyi state, in 1966. Sir Louis CV is the most intimidating I have ever seen and probably will ever see. He was:

1)The first President of the Nigerian Stock Exchange
2) President, African Continental Bank
3) Chairman, Nigerian cement company (NIGERCEM)
4) CEO, Ojukwu Transport company
5) Chairman, Nigerian National Shipping Line
6) Chairman, Lion Of Africa Insurance Company
7) Chairman, BISCO Nigeria Limited
Chairman, Nigerian Industrial Development Bank
9) Vice President, Lagos Chamber Of Commerce
10) Chairman, Palmline Shipping company
11) Chairman, Nigerian Produce Marketing board
12) Chairman, Eastern Nigerian Development Corporation
13) Chairman, Costain west Africa
14) Director, Shell D'Arcy Petroleum
15) Director, Thomas Wyatt & Son
16) Director, Nigerian Coal corporation
17) Director, Guiness Nigeria Limited
18) Director, Nigerian Tobacco Company
19) Director, Daily Times of Nigeria

The man was simply larger than life. Sir Louis also owned numerous building, landed properties and stocks. It is estimated that as at the time he died in 1966, he was worth about 40 Billion Dollars in today's money.

Someone should tell Ben Bruce that Orient Oil is in Otu Ocha in Anambra state. Someone should tell him that Ogbaru has huge amounts of Oil. Someone should tell him that Anambra has one of the largest deposit of Gas in the whole country.

OP, as Oguta man and from Imo state, what do you have say about your sister that was recently beheaded in Kano and her head paraded around town? 'One Nigeria' dey sweet abi?

coolitempa:
If I respond to this idiotic post....they will say Coolitempa don start wahala....and kpam....another long ban will follow by the biased mods on this board...

Everything I said in my post are historical facts. It's not like I made anything up. So what is there to be angry about? These things have happend

[b] The Yorubas are a tribe of great people no doubt. History tells us that they were a tribe of warriors who once controlled a vast empire that stretched from Bini to present day Republic of Benin under the Oyo empire. They have achieved a lot. So it beggars belief, particularly to an Igbo man like me who never had an 'empire', that the present generation of Yorubas have gone from champions of sovereignty to mere 'Northern followers' of 'one Nigeria'. What happened to the Yoruba man who was self Governing under the Oyo Mesi long before there was anything called Nigeria? How is it that these people have thrown away their right to self determination for a foreign identity called 'Nigerian' which the White man gave them? One would have thought that it would have been Yorubas that would be declaring "Oduduwa Republic" long before Igbos declared Biafra? There are many incidents that have happened since 1960 that should have propelled the Yoruba nation to rise up, assert their sovereignty and challenge the excesses of North, but they did nothing. To make matters worse, most of these incidents happened in Yoruba land! They include:

July 1966, Northern elements kidnapp and kill the Governor of Western Nigeria, Lt Colonel Fajuyi, a Yoruba man. Yorubas did nothing.

July 1966, General Ironsi is killed by the Northerners. The next two highest ranking officers are Yoruba men (Brigadier Ogundipe and Colonel Adebayor). By law, it should have been Ogundipe who should have taken over. Right in Lagos, Yorubaland, Ogundipe is chased away to London by the Northerners while Colonel Adebayor is made to replace the murdered Fajuyi, all to pave way for the much junior Gowon to take over. Yorubas did nothing.

January 1967. Gowon, Ojukwu, Adebyor, Katsina amongst others meet in Aburi, Ghana. An agreement for the most true form of federalism (confederation) is reached, signed and sealed. But few months later when Gowon and his Northern goons break this agreement, the Yorubas did nothing. They even helped Gowon fight Ojukwu so that unitary rule could be fully implemented. Today, Yorubas are shouting for the same true federalism they helped to take away.

1967: Amid the massacre of Easterners by the Northerners, the father of the Yoruba nation, Pa Awolowo comes to Enugu and said that if Igbos walk out of Nigeria, Yorubas are going the same way too. When Igbos walked out of Nigeria, the same Awolowo accepted to become deputy to Gowon who was young enough to be his son. Awolowo who witnessed thousands of people being murdered by Northerners was convinced that the same Northerners were the best thing since the invention of sliced bread! Awolowo would later go on to be frustrated from ever becoming president of Nigeria by the same Northerners he diligently served.

1976: After the death of Murtala Mohammed, Obasunjo is the next highest ranking officer. The Notherners try again to do what the did 10 years earlier when Ogundipe and Adebayor were bypassed because they were Yorubas by insisting that General Danjuma who is junior to Obasunjo should take over. Danjuma refuses, which is the only reason Obasunjo became head of state.

1993: The brightest political star in Yorubland, MKO Abiola is kidnapped and murdered in detention after winning free and fair elections. The Yorubas nation did nothing.

One wonders why the Yoruba nation have never confronted the Northerners despite all the above? Why have they always been willing tools of the Northerners? Why do they never think about their right to self determination? I need answers. [/b]
