Please read Prof China Achebe's There was a Country and Olusegun Obasanjo's My Command, you will see that the Midwest was indeed invaded but the stated motives of that invasion may differ.

Neither the Oba of Benin nor Gov David Ejoor of The Midwest invited Biafra to invade their State.

Maybe not oba or Ejoor but definitely Midwesterners. Probably the revolutionaries among them.

Atiku funds his campaign from his personal money so it's no one's business how he spends his personal money

And yorubas who claimed to be educated put their destiny in the hands of the drug criminal

Stating a historical event doesn't mean I am in support or I am against the event.
I am indifferent since it didn't directly affect me .

Your historical event was wrongly stated. Biafrans did not invade Midwest, they were invited by Midwest. The Binis later igbonized the event to discredit it. Your claim that ojukwu appointed igbo administrator sound mischievous since the administrator was the most qualified from the Midwest

ckenneths:
The story of Agbudu Udi is the story of almost every Igbo village with varying degrees of development. We salute the Traditional ruler and all the leaders here and wish them a happy Christmas in advance.

Where is OMANBALA1 who claimed that Okeke is anambra name. I still remember my secondary school class mate Vincent Okeke from Ezeagu

oyatz:
Biafra invaded the Mid-West Region/State and
Ojukwu even appointed an Igbo Administrator over them, a grave error that tiltled the delicate balance of power against the Biafrans.

The igbo administrator is from Midwest. Probably the highest ranking officer from there so what's your point?

Is he saying that Tinubu is a bastard?

Buhari is a thief

NE will vote out Buhari

Spyder how far with the coal city marathon scheduled for November?

Athemeter Lumefantrin is what you need

What nigerians will gain from Atiku is more important

Yoruba and narrow tribal interest yet they shout "one Nigeria"

Buhari is a blood thirsty jihadist

Buhari is a disastrous failure

Could this be worse than ebola?

kingkakaone:
Nairaland has become a field for tribalism and banters which does not help anyone.
Instead if people to comment based on knowledge, they rather engage in calling out the other tribes.

Majority of those involved in this name calling are youths, it makes me worried about how the next 10years will look like.

The handiwork of APC zombies.

ayzTIGER:
Obi1kenobi you have a question to answer here.

Seems like it has now become a mystery to him too

Obi1kenobi:
By running to Israel. Is that supposed to be a mystery?
Majority of countries in the world support Palestinian independence. That doesn't make them enemies of Israel. Nigeria is not an enemy of Israel.

Without passport.? Escaping heavy security presence? Bros shed more light on this because it's a mystery to me

Kano na ge she ku. Kano first son has spoken

Obi1kenobi:
1) Israel won't support a separatist movement in a country they have no conflict with. It would need to be a country like Syria or Iraq where they support the Kurds.
2) Even if they could support us, we are of zero strategic value to them, so they wouldn't bother. It won't be worth the hassle.
3) Even if they could and would support us, it would make no difference to us diplomatically, seeing as Israel themselves are an international pariah due to their activities in Gaza and the West Bank. Israel is the most opposed country in the UN and have only weathered that storm due to the constant intervention of the US to offer them diplomatic cover and support.
4) Embarrassing ourselves before the world with a fake Jew-claiming history that everybody laughs at doesn't help our legitimacy. It portrays the movement as an unserious cult. For this reason, outside his IPOB fans, Nnamdi Kanu will always be perceived as a joker.
5) Miseducating our children and feeding them lies is wrong. If you keep saturating your children with falsehoods, they turn out like hammerfc: children who hate their roots, feel inadequate and seek legitimacy and pride in themselves by claiming a fake identity. That is antithetical to a healthy development of a strong Igbo consciousness. It should be a thing of shame that while Yorubas for example take pride in the millions of people in Latin America and the Caribbean that identify with the Ifa tradition, some Igbos are there disgracing us claiming a fake ancestry to an alien race.

Can you explain to us how Kanu managed to escape only to reappear in Israel of all places? Also remember that Buhari openly supported the independence of Palestine so Nigeria is technically an enemy of Israel

ChinenyeN:
It means nothing to me, since we have now affirmed that this entire reauthorization is centered around Nri, and as an Ngwa, I have no ancestral affiliation with Nri. Consequently, I have no connections (falsified or otherwise) with the Jew moonlight tales. My many thanks for your assistance in providing that clarity to this Jewish shinama. In keeping with my word, we can move on amicably.

Other igbo tribes were here before the jews came just the way the cananites were in Palestine before the exodus

Tinubu slaves have abandoned the age long yoruba restructuring agenda. But original yorubas are focused on it

Lol. You see the difference between east and west? In the west a sitting governor was stopped by a "non sitting" godfather but in the east a sitting Godfather was stopped by a "non sitting" contestant. Also remember how peter obi destroyed the Uba brothers in anambra despite obasanjo support? Igboland is the oldest democracy known to mankind

i need to repost this.

these people traveled that far in search of land.

notice that the middle east apppeared to have been settled upon and israel fought many wars to acquire the promise land.

fought even more to defend it.

David became king after victory in battle with Goliath

Gad help israel to defeat the caananities. i guess they regrouped and attacked them since the broke up on route to Israel.

Before Saul/David era, Isreal had no king. What they had was "Judges" who are circumstantial leaders who rise to solve a pressing national problem. This was akin to igbo society without centralized government. Originally this was God's plan for them but they later asked for a king and Samuel (the last Judge) was particularly angry about this. When the monarchy was firmly established by David there was rebellion against Rehoboam , David's grandson, who insisted on carrying on with Solomon's heavy taxes. This lead to break up into northern and southern kingdoms. Igbos generally have this attitude of rebellion against oppressive regime

And yet poverty reigns in your state Kano

hammerFC:
Today, u have progressive Igbos, like myself that want to see Igboland develop.

Open minded igbo that are prepared to work for the advancement of igbo nation.

We explore every idea with good intention and are never afriad of the truth.

Some of us here are quick to criticise Kanu and Myself over this Jewish claim but never confront Eze Eri about it.

U never challenge Olaudah Equiano publication about it.

The truth is if in doubt, challenge the source becos some of us are only guilty of subscribing to Oral history of our people.

Is a migration from East Jordan through Egypt water ways more incredible than the Yoruba Oral history of a migration from heaven by Oduduwa?



p.s. most people left after the new mod took away the fun from politics section with banning.

u see the way he follows me around.

Gbam. The tribe of Gad who lived in Gilead east of the Jordan fled from Assyrian invaders and took river routes from Egypt to igboland and settled among igbos. This is more realistic that falling from the sky

For them to advance up to osogbo showed how cowardly you are. Plus you failed to dislodge them in ilorin

You better start marketing the dullard to nigerians. Atiku's presidential ambition is not igbo affair

It will cause scarcity thereby defeating the aim

Nigerian football is made in the east

This radio station suggestion is the best way to start. It will get grass root audience unlike the Internet
