These people are not in any way misunderstood, unless by hypocrite elements amongst you. We Igbos know them now through our God sent Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. They are a violent, mostly uneducated, nomadic wandering tribe that prefers to live in medieval times and always taking things especially lands that don't belong to them by force.

Prinnce1:
the truth is coming out small small, so all this agitation is all about the oil its not about redeeming the south south from the shackle of the oppressors but for the oil and the sea. You guys are fucking selfish and self centred, the south south are wise and that's why we are glamouring for complete restructuring and not an online country.

There is nothing like south south. Deal with it you drunkard.

[quote author=Zooposki post=102849913][/quote]Muguh, so there was a time Zanfara was not in nigeria? We call you fools illiterates, and we are right.

Perfectbeing:
No body said it wasn't older than Queen Victoria. But it was created by the British, wasn't it?
If we are to accept that map created by the British, then we must accept the Nigeria map also created by the British.

We know why we call you fools illiterates. Your current nigeria's map was created by your fulani masters and not by the British. Go back to school you illiterate.

Ojiofor:
Ndi Igbo knows her boundaries and anytime Nigeria collapses we shall reclaim our land either through peace or by war.

None of those slowpoke drunkards around us can withstand us if we want to use force.

This is open knowledge, but some useful idiots never want to learn because some jannnjaaweed migrants from as far away as futa jalon came onto their enclave and erased history from their school system and those useful idiots accepted and are not complaining because of their hatred of the great Igbo race. Imagine refusing knowledge because of hate? What would such a person be called? Is it not daft and also dumb?

OdumegwuOjukwu:
Please read again. i said we don't need 'Sea access' we are tired of the blackmail.

We can fly or use other River routes. Those from 'Niger Delta'/SS who wants to join the Biafran train should pick their megaphones or trumpets and start making some noise. SE is tired of taking the hits. Five State solution is fine by me. Everyone should answer their father's name.

You should make more research bro. There is a place called Azumini. It is 25 nautical miles from the Atlantic ocean while the Onne port which is in port Harcourt is about 45-50 nautical miles from the ocean. There was dredging before Onneh port was built. Our people need access to more information. We have access to seas via Onitsha and also in Ebonyi state.

BKayy:
I exposed coded information that the government is hiding to the idiots of Nairaland yesterday and they came for more clarification in the guise of insults, thinking that my attention is for everybody like before.
They read news but can't decode messages.
They never asked themselves why of all the whole SE, the only place Nigeria is fighting Shamelessly to control is Imo and Anambra.
Uzodimma being the governor of Imo State is not a coincidence.
The idiot here claiming Mbaise is not a coincidence.
The ones pushing for Referendum for only SE knowing fully well that their puppet is in charge of Imo is not coincidence.
Our gas is for our future.
The future of the entire Igbo nation (not just SE)
We refuse to be the next Niger Delta.

Nwanne keep exposing the information at your reach. I love what you did yesterday. We need more of it. This gar thing has to start making rounds so all Igbos must come to know about our huge gas deposit. The parasites must never be allowed to tap into our gas. Period!!

PresidentBuBu:
Contrary to the opinion of most people, the South East is not as barren as it is portrayed to be, 4 of its 5 states have proven oil reserves and 3 of them have proven gas reserves and this is despite minimal efforts in oil and gas exploration in the region compared to efforts in the northern and SS parts of the country.
2 states are recognised out of 3 that are currently oil producing by the NDDC . They recieve tens of billions of naira from derivation yearly (a paltry 13%).
Oil production even though influenced by oil reserves is a measure of efforts and interest in producing oil and not a direct measure of oil largesse. Venezuela has the largest reserves of oil in the world but is nowhere near the output of S/Arabia and Russia.
With demand for oil gradually reducing worldwide and transfer to green energy sources of which Natural gas is approved, there is a need for us to channel efforts to producing and exporting More Gas.
The comparative advantage certain countries have will soon start to wither. Russia and Qatar know this and have pushed themselves to become the worlds largest gas producers building pipelines traversing Europe and Asia, tailoring gas supply to the Asian Tigers and European Giants.
Nigeria however has wasted the vast majority of its oil wealth on empowering kleptomaniac politicians and oil discovery in low potential areas just for the sake of politics and political control.

The South East and South West have proven oil reserves with minimal exploration or push for production while billions are wasted in Borno Kaduna and Benue troughs.
Now imagine if these billions of dollars were spent effectively on gas exploration, production, processing and export. The South especially the South East would be more empowered today.
Resources do not discriminate between ethnicity or clans, they exist where they exist, without your permission and justification, just because you're used to the idea that certain tribes have oil and gas reserves doesnt alienate others from having especially when these people are in close proximity to recognised resource rich areas.

Once more ill say, we shouldn't let bigotry prevent us from harnessing our potentials and maximising our use of resources.
The South East is Gas rich and probably the most endowed region in said natural resource, its not an insult, its a fact and we should push for fair equitable utilisation of their resources.

Push for which equitable utilisation with who? You must be mad. The gas in our land is for us Biafrans and for ur future generations. Nothing in it for the parasitic nigerians We are nor their so called nigeri delatans whom they rape how they like.

AdakaBoro8:
fulanis are piping your gas and you chestbeaters still cannot do anything but instead you calling us slowpoke...

fulanis have been using your oils in imo and abia for many years, but you flat heads have not done anything, but its thesame niger delta you insultin that fighting it for you all this years... niger delta boys fight to bring nddc...and its through that nddc your abia imo getting your oil benefits..

ungrateful people.. keep insultin niger delta..

Slowpoke, google, and read how your 13% derivatives came about. Igbo made it possible for you. You guys are too slow. With our gas, we will show you how parasites like the fulanis are supposed to be treated.

stanech:
I AM IGBO but all these insults needs to stop.. Lets say we finally get this Biafra, these guys will still be our neighbors. so please lets be nice

You be nice to whoever gets nice with you. Israeli new prime minister just bombed Gaza yesterday. They are neighbors, but if you want niceness, Israel will give you, and if you want war, get ready because they will blaster you.

Grgton:
The huge oil deposit we have been drilling from Niger Delta since 80s has it any significant impact on the life of Nigerians??

Now all attention seems to be focussing on gas deposit in Abambra

You drill nothing and it has no value in nigeria market then because the majority of nigerians use kerosene to cook. Cooking gas recently started revolutionizing in nigeria. Your nigerian government also has no international buyer then, but today, pipelines are being laid from Imo state to Algeria and we are waiting for them there. Soon, they will realize that we are no buffoons like the "our oyel" fools of niger delta.

Furious1:
Am not talking about Anambra, just because it has Anambra as the name doesn't mean it's only for Anambra, a basin can take any name, Enugu too is within the Anambra basin, so Anambra basin contains oil, gas, coal and please explain more about kogi Igbo, I met one guy here in Rivers State yesterday who said he's from kogi but they speak Igbo, in his words "yes I be kogi but na igbo we de speak, na anmbra side we de"

DaveDave001:
IN THE WHOLE OF AFRICA NOT JUST WEST AFRICA
Just like the way the bloody fools claim igbo land is landlocked. I don’t blame them,the black man does not read and makes little to no effort on conducting thorough research before coming to conclusion.
They will be shocked when they find out the Osemoto/Oseokwa ports in imo and Anambra are just 18 nautical miles to the Atlantic ocean and are natural harbors with the highest depth in Nigeria.

Our gas deposits in all of our Igbo territories are actually the world's largest. And our oil deposits in all our Igbo territories in our 5 states and Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom, and Edo is the largest in Africa. But the main show is on gas which is the future and that's where we will never allow these parasites any room until we restore Biafra. The idiots are already laying pipelines to Algeria, but we are bidding our time before they will hear from us.

DaveDave001:
The Afonjas and the “Our Oyel” crew will not like this.
We have natural resources,economic and business Sagacity & Above all HUMAN RESOURCE.
Japan and taiwan are leading tech giants even without much resources,compare that to the Igbos that have everything. Make no mistake Biafra will flourish as an independent nation.
We buildt of own weapons as far back as 1967 and held many nations in battle for 3 years. Only hunger was used as a tool to stop us.
You can only Imagine what we will be as a nation.
The future is Blithe.
I AM A PROUD DOT MAN.

In Biafra, there will be ZERO % unemployment rate. Anyone you see on Biafra's social benefits system after 10 years of Biafra's restoration must be a lazy person that doesn't want to work and earn more money than what our government pays as social money every month.

AdakaBoro8:
they have already using your gas for years and ready to pipe your gas to all africa countries.. you are here dreaming..

They are just starting laying pipelines, stop talking about what you don't know. Nigerians use kerosene to cook and gas has recently become the revolution in nigerian's homes. 99% of cars in nigeria use petrol. The gas pipeline they are laying is to go all through to Morocco and we are saying that they are only dreaming. We will show them that we are not the slowpoke niger deltans they use anyhow. Go and check the cooking gas price before the bombing in Ohaji Imo state, and the price today.

tandy2013:
No way . May be after Biafra has gone. I think say Nigerians say South East no get anything? The biggest gas deposit in West Africa is in Ohaji Ekpama in Imo state . And gas is the future .

All hail Biafra

The biggest gas deposit in the whole world is inside Igboland, in all of our 5 states and beyond in Rivers and Delta Igbo-speaking areas. Our children's future must be secure by us. It's either Biafra or Biafra. Period!!

[quote author= post=102781716]They know Igbo land will be difficult that's why they chose Seplat own by Igbos, they started wilth Imo next will be Anambra and Enugu[/quote]Even this SEPLAT must mind themselves. They must operate inside Biafra or else...............The bulshit of the slowpoke niger deltans will never ever be tolerated anywhere within Igbo territory. Anyway, Biafra is near.

Majority of the projetcs have ZERO federal input. From urban rail networks, to world class bus terminals, to BRT systems, to entire new metropolises like Eko Atlantic.

If Lagos can do all this stuff without seceding from Nigeria, why can't OnItsha?

Why can't Onitsha build an 'Eko Atantic' of the East?

If all the money spent by IPOB in its dumb agitation was used for attracting major investments to the East, by now the entire East would have been a construction site.

Just like Lagos.

This fool, so you are actually satisfied with the level of development in that dilapidated glorified village called Lagos? Ross Ike, but you live in London, travel around Europe and you are seeing how cities look like in Europe and other places, yet the gigantic slum called Lagos is what you are wishing Biafrans? Sorry, take your slum, we need no such low-level development. We need our nation called Biafra first, then our money will be on our hands and we will be making our decisions by ourselves regarding what kind of infrastructures we want to build.

Your contraption called nigeria is drawing us back and arresting our development. We can no longer afford to live with illiterates that their education qualifications must have to be subsidized in the name of catching up. We can no longer live in a place where stark illiterates will be ruling and making decisions that will affect our lives. We can't afford to waste further time under a military constitution that has no room for rapid development. Carry your big for nothing slum call nigeria and go, Biafra must stand to enable us to reach our developmental goals.

Tinumbu is in COMA. All these half-baked journalists should stop talking about what they do not know. He is in COMA and is not coming back to life anymore. Kaput and good riddance!!

The True Story Of Isaac Adaka Boro


During the Biafran-Nigerian civil war, there were a few Biafran sons and daughters, who were used and killed by the Hausa and Yoruba controlled Nigerian Government. Some of them were made to believe that Biafra was dominated by Igbos and would seize all the resources in Biafra lands. Isaac Adaka Boro was among the the prominent sons who were misguided.

And he paid dearly with his life for betraying the Biafran Republic. And for more than fifty years, his tribe have suffered the nemesis of his mistakes because he was misled and betrayed by his Hausa and Yoruba friends.

The storie of Isaac Adaka Boro is a great lesson for contemporary and potential betrayals of the renewed movement for the restoration of Biafran Republic.

Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro, from Kaiama (in present day Bayelsa State), was born in September 10, 1938 in Oloibiri. Isaac Boro, while studying Chemistry at University of Nigeria Nsukka became the Student Union President of the University.

Despite the support and political patronage he got from his Igbo brothers at the university, Boro led the first revolution of resource control in Nigeria few months after Aguiyi Ironsi became the Head of State of Nigeria.

He formed the Niger Delta Volunteer Force (NDVF), the first armed militia of only Ijaw extraction. On February 23, 1966, Boro and his NDVF declared the Niger Delta Republic. This was the first time any part of Nigeria tried to secede. He believed that the Ijaw people deserved a reasonable share of proceeds of the oil wealth than they were getting from the Federal Government.

For twelve days Boro and his militias battled the Federal forces before they were finally defeated by the far superior Federal firepower. Isaac Boro and some of his men were convicted of treason and sentenced to death, but Ironsi out of mercy decided to jail him instead of killing him as demanded by the law.

On the eve of the Biafran-Nigerian war in May 1967, then Nigerian Head of State Yakubu Gowon granted him amnesty and drafted him into the Nigerian Army. He was afterwards commissioned as a major in the Nigerian Army. With his army of 1000 Ijaw soldiers. He fought alongside Col. Benjamin Adekunle, who was heading the 3rd Marine Commando Division of the Nigerian army.

With deep knowledge of the Niger Delta creeks, Boro and his men fought along-side the Nigerian troops to push back the Biafran soldiers of the region.

Isaac Boro was betrayed by the Nigerian forces he trusted. On May 16, 1968, after a successful gun battle against Biafran forces at Ogu (near Okrika) in Rivers State, Boro was ambushed by what many of his men then believed was a unit sent by Col. Adekunle. In a brief and fierce battle, Adenkunle’s men gunned him down.

His death went down in history as mysterious as there was no conclusive evidence on who assassinated Boro. Strong allegations pointed to treacherous Col. Adekunle, envied by Boro’s rising prominence in the Nigerian Army, Ordered the assassination of Boro in order to seize the glories which Boro enabled the 3 Marine Commando Division to achieve.

Subsequent to Boro’s death, Adekunle took all the credits of the achievements of the division.

A Regimental Sergeant Major under Boro was quoted saying "Boro did not die in the heat of battle with the Biafran forces". He said, the area had already been captured and secured by their troops and Major Boro was on an inspection tour when they came under fire. The type of gunfire that erupted during the gun battle that killed Boro was completely different from what the Biafrans were known to use in that area of the war. This confirmed to them that it was one of the federal troops units that carried out the ambush. As soon as Boro died, his 1000 band of soldiers was disbanded.

According to Olusegun Obasanjo in his book My Command, Adekunle’s post-war political ambition pushed him into assassinating Boro, as he was using the war to building a ‘formidable’ name for himself. Obasanjo stated that “Col. Adekunle, at this point saw the war not only in terms of crushing a rebellion, but also as a means of building himself up for any future political position or responsibility which he might wish to seek, I knew of people of Western State origin who had felt politically victimized and who saw in Col.Adekunle a saviour and told him so, and he believed them.”

What Boro fought and died for had eluded his people for years. Niger Delta has remained impoverished despite the huge revenue it has continued to generate for the country. Oil fields and mining leases have been allocated to northern oligarchs and friends.

Isaac Boro remains a lesson for future revolutionaries in knowing where to pitch their tent.

We Are Igbos- Dakuku Peterside



*2015: NDIGBO JOIN PRESIDENTIAL RACE As Ndigbo in Rivers State restates their Igboness.

By: kenechukwu Amazuoke

The race for the 2015 Presidential elections took a different twist with the declaration of Ndigbo that they will contest the 2015 Presidential elections. Speaking during the inauguration of the State Executives of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Rivers state at the Elekahia Stadium Port-Harcourt, the President-General of the pan-Igbo socio-cultural organisation Ohanaeze Ndigbo Chief Garry Enwo-Igariwey stated that “Ndigbo must seek the Presidency of this country at the expiration of the tenure of the South-South. This is in keeping with our stand that equity, justice and fair-play demand that we, the only zone remaining to hold the prime position in the country, should be allowed by our fellow Nigerians to occupy it in an unbroken succession after the South-South....we cannot afford to play second fiddle forever.”

On the spate of insecurity across the nation, the Afikpo Prince stated that Ndigbo has endured enough casualties and called on the perpetrators of the heinous crime of bombing across the northern part of Nigeria to cease forthwith, while the federal government should deploy resources and materials aimed at bringing the menace to an end, and compensate those who have been adversely affect by the wanton destruction of lives and properties.

In his address, the Deputy Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Engr. Issac Wonwu expressed great joy, as the occasion marks a watershed in a bold declaration of the re-integration of the Igbo elements in Rivers state with their kin across Nigeria since after the balkanisation of the Igbo ethnic nationality by the military junta at the wake of the Biafran civil war. ( Continues below….. )

As labeled

Chief Wonwu who also doubles as the leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in the South-South also re-iterated on the need for an urgent value re-orientation amongst Ndigbo through cordial intra-national relationship aimed at bringing their present marginalisation to an end. He further stated that Ndigbo are committed to rediscovering and repositioning themselves within the Nigerian context, hoping that through concerted planning, respect for one another, stopping their selfish approaches, and the emulation of their past heroes and their selfless approaches to the service of the people, the Igbo dream of occupying the Presidency will be materialised.

For the National youth leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, he thanked the Igbo of Rivers State for coming out en masse to identify with their original roots, as this signifies an end to their suppression by their enemies who have been using the fractured nature of the Igbo in Rivers State as political tool against them in the politics of the state. According to Isiguzoro, “Ndigbo has made a bold statement and this will surely change the face of Rivers state politics”

Frowning at the psychological relics of the Biafran war, Isiguzoro called on the Igbo of Rivers State to stop using the name “Liberation Stadium” for the Elekahia Stadium as they were at no time “liberated” from the hands of their brother Ndigbo, rather that period (1968) marked the beginning of a dark era in the history of the Igbo of Rivers state and other Niger Delta ethnic groups leading to the economic plundering of the region by those who pretended to be their friends and the killing of both the Igbo and the minorities of the South-South region, an act which necessitated the rise of freedom fighters whom the Nigerian state wrongly termed “Militants”.

The President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Rivers State Prince Igo Okparamma, in an interview with odenigbo.com stated that “We, the Igbo of Rivers state have made a loud statement, and it is our belief that from now it is clear to all concerned that we are no longer in doubt of where our true roots are... we are Igbo and this is without doubt.

In a shocking revelation, the member representing Opobo-Nkoro Federal constituency Hon. Dakuku Peterside declared that the Opobo people have their roots in Igboland as the founder and first king of the Kingdom is an Igbo man. Hence Opobos are Igbo. He called on other Igbo elements within the state to identify with the greater Igbo cause.

In her vote of thanks, the Chairperson of the Organising Committee of the inauguration, Mrs Uju Nwanneka called on Ndigbo to return to their “Value Driven” efforts and relentlessly stand for justice and equality for all. The aspirant for the post of Deputy National Woman Leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo called on Ndigbo to make Igbo interest their guiding principle in all their pursuits while eschewing individualism.

The occasion which was blessed with heavy shower had in attendance notable Igbo people and friends of Ndigbo who defied the rains to be with Ndigbo. Among the dignitaries at the occasion were Senator Magnus Abe who represented the Rivers state Governor Hon. Rotimi Amechi, Hon Dakuku Peterside (Representing Opobo/Nkoro Federal Constituency) represented by Hon. Richard Nwoka; the former PDP Chairman Ikwerre Local Government Area, Chief Innocent Mbah; Deputy President Ohanaeze Ndigbo Rivers State, Amb. Anosike Onuowa; Vice Chairman Rivers State Petroleum Monitoring Committee.

Others present are the Chief Ambrose Owuru; Member Ime-Obi Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Lady Love Chimezie, Odozi Nwodozi: National Vice Leader Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing, Arthur Obiora Obiora: Deputy National Leader Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing among others.

OP, you wrote all this to discredit yourself and nullify your point!

Which school did you attend?

Since the beginning of Nigeria, the old Rivers never trusted the Igbo. So Northern Parties did well there. Moreover, to dominate the Northern Government, Ndi Igbo has always formed coalition with Northern Parties.

Until Tinubu!

Another afonja LIAR. Under Michael Okpara, the then Easter Nigeria has the fastest growing economy in the whole world and budgeted its 45% GDP on education alone. Adaka Boro the saboteur was himself a benefactor of Easter Region scholarship.

RobbStark:
Point of correction, there was no time the Opobo people of today's rivers state bear Ibo names.
That is a lie from the pit of hell.

The Opobo people are true and true Ijaws. You can say Nigerian troops used the bonny Opobo river routes to enter Ph, don't try and change the real story.
All my life growing up, I have never heard elders from Opobo say they changed names from Ibo to Ijaw. Lies.

Ojukwu the cunt was ill advised to start a war he wasn't really prepared. He lost and ran away like a coward he was.

Now, you want to be writing long epistle of how you dots were betrayed.
Truth be told, you dots were the ones betraying the people of the South South.
War was going on and all you dots were thinking was how to claim Port Harcourt and other places in the south as yours.

Continue lying about Boro and whinning.
We will continue telling you dots the truth of your own betrayal.
Rubbish

You can die if you like. Fact remains that both OPOBO and UBANI/BONNY island are Igbo areas and peoples.

https://www.nairaland.com/2468393/people-opobonkoro

Sirjamo:
All I know is: Ironsi ordered his arrest for trying to secede, Ojukwu carried out the arrest. Ojukwu later tried to do the exact thing Boro was trying to do.

Ironsi and Ojukwu were two faced hypocrites, you can twist history all you want, everyone knows that Igbo never take responsibility for anything, they always blame others for their woes.

Adaka Boro was a muguh who tried to do the bidding of divide and rule of the fulanis in Eastern Region and when his fulani grandmaster Balewa was killed, he went gaga with only 25 men as his foot soldiers and was rightfully arrested and jailed. He was lucky to have died later than immediately after his arrest, He is what I will term as a grandmaster saboteur fulani willing tool.

Good that his younger brother opened up the truth which we never knew happened because his masters hide history from the nigerian slowpokes who in their miserable lives can never rise up to question their masters, but will be here and there attacking Igbos that always ask questions. Read below.
