IgweOfNnewi:
How does a sole man presenting a fragment number of people translate to US

He is not a "sole man" he is a United States Congress man, and they make laws and determine what the POTUS should do!

Everyone is now talking about Biafra and IPOB, from UN to US and all because of desperate mofos that arrested Nnamdi Kanu.

Nigeria is already fast breaking up but unity beggers and zombies are too deluded to see it.

You guys are losing at the global diplomatic fronts!

You guys are losing the propaganda war!

You guys are also losing the media and opinion war!

It will be you guys like film tricks when Igbos finally break away to form Biafra.

Hahaha, let the psychological warfare continue, na dem go tire

Las Las they will still call them to a roundtable for discussion but by then it would be too late.

Meanwhile malami is an ethnic bigot and dunce who is not fit to be occupying the role they gave him.

Ndi zoo how far?
Ndi unity beggers how far?
Ndi one Nigeria how far?

Like play, like play Biafra is leaving Nigeria o

The way news about Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB, Igbos and Biafra is now dominating political everywhere is quite alarming.

Those in Aso rock and unity beggers must be having sleepless nights

Igboid:
Please, Chinda is an Ikwerre man.
Ndiigbo has nothing to do with Ndi Bini Ikwerre.

The Igbos in Rivers are Obiigbo, Egbema and maybe Ndoni (these ones have not made their stance clear).

Sure, Chinda is an ikwerrre man and that is why I said "Igbo speaking" and not Igbo man. Understand the difference bro. Ikwerre still speaks Igbo language despite all the political denials.

A new factory under construction in imo state

Nice development!
Where is it located and what are they into?

Mexicanbreed:
The northerners are more serious abt igbos leaving Nigeria than the igbos, u ppl have representatives pressure them to sponsor bill on referendum, you want to leave Nigeria everyday u ppl moves in droves to other region, most of u dnt even travel to ur place until it's December

You people like believing your own lies. A house of reps member from Igbo speaking part of Rivers State asked for referendum on the floor of House and he was almost mobbed to death. I think he name is Chinda.

RodgersAkpafu:
I'm not a biafra advocate though
But I appreciate your insights
It validates the psych ops that I spoke about earlier
Hence you have a point
I only spoke on my personal experience
I have even heard the ones from Rivers say that they will chase us away from Port Harcourt

Who is saying such? Which brings to the question again, who owns P.H?

Both ikwerre and Okirika are claiming joint ownership of P.H. So which people among them will make such statement?

If Igbos secede from Nigeria, Asa, Ndoki, Omuma, Ndoni, Etche etc would most likely want to join for their own self preservation, based on the points I stated earlier. Now, that would automatically leave the ikwerrres on a limbo. They will become a minority at the mercy of Ijaws. The Ijaws would start laying claim to p.h again through their affinity with Okirika and viola we would have a worse version of "old Rivers State" when ikwerrres were made subservient under Ijaws.

Again, when we go with Obigbo as part of Biafra, P.H will be a stone throw away from our borders.

So, if an ijaw man should make such statement in bold, I will understand but if an ikwerrre makes it, then the person is ignorant and doesn't know what he is wishing for.

But left for me, Biafra does not need P.H, forget about the revenue that is coming from there, it is mainly due to the port activities and oil industry, and we know those bringing in the port revenue. Under Biafra, we would have our own port somewhere at Obehie or anywhere else and coupled with the oil and gas resources around the boundaries of Imo, Rivers and Abia States, we would develop another economic zone there. So P.H will definitely decline drastically. I can't even imagine a P.H without Igbos, it would be a dead zone.

Believe me, the major reason why Northerners and every other person are fighting against Igbos leaving Nigeria is because they understand that Nigeria will become hugely unattractive for others to remain in it and once other Southerners and middle belt realize that Igbos are about to leave, they too will fight to break free.

Niger Delta charter or ijaw charter?

They even took it ijaw house in Bayelsa

These ogogoro drinking fishermen really thinks that other minorities are fools. These guys keep behaving as if Niger Delta is their personal property.

You can organize your ijaw charter in peace but trying to drag others into it to play second fiddle role is arrant nonsense.

Stop dragging other ethnicities without negotiating with them as equal partners, that's the same way fulanis subdued North and it won't happen in niger Delta.

Arrant nonsense!!!

RodgersAkpafu:
I think these people talking are correct
Its left to each of these communities to determine if they want to identify with us or not
And so far from my interactions with them
Many of them are not too keen on doing so
So we should let them be.

Its unfortunate that Britain used psych ops to destroy the relationship in the old eastern region, while at the same time force a "united north" by co opting the middle belt
But it is what it is

Don't allow yourself to be deceived by the antics of the enemies. Sometimes we fail to think deeply and consider issues from other people's point of view.

Apart from ikwerre, ogba and ika, the rest other Igbo groups in SS and Benue are pan Igbo in their worldview. Have you really considered that these groups I mentioned, aside ikwere are all minorities in the states and regions they're currently forced in? Since the Biafra war ended, the Nigerian government made Igbophobia a national pass time. We were oppressed and grossly marginalized. It was so bad that some of these Igbo groups at the periphery couldn't help but promote their clans as ethnic nationalities to escape Igbo national stigma.

In the old Rivers State, the Ijaws were dominant and the Nigerian government empowered them to oppress Igboid groups in the state. I once watched a video documentary of one of such Igboid groups complaining to a reporter that their lands have been taken from them and they were being prevented from working in the oil industry. They said when they complain, they were told to go to East Central State!

The same feelings were suffered by other Igboid groups in the Mid West. It was these oppressions that led to the Igbo denial of these people because they felt it was a way for them to survive. The Nigerian government also promoted it to greater heights, "distance yourself from Igbos of East Central State (which is today's SE) and enjoy benefits but stick with them and suffer what they're suffering. Based on that, Igbo communities bearing oil were ceded to Rivers State. Also, in continuation of that policy, Buhari always considered Igbos outside SE for appointment while ignoring those of SE. Minster of state for petroleum, CBN governor, cheif of army staff etc.

However, once it becomes clear that Igbos of SE are going to leave Nigeria by way of UN organized referendum, I can bet you that no Igboid group except probably ikwerre would want to be left behind. The reason is this, all these people bear Igbo names and look like Igbos, and once Igbos vote to leave Nigeria, there would be enormous anger and hostility against Igbos particularly by Northerners and SS minorities especially Ijaws and others would capitalize on it to oppress them. It happened in 1970 and would definitely happen with greater ferocity once Biafra leaves Nigeria.

Even Yorubas wouldn't want to stay in Nigeria anymore once Igbos leave then how much more Igboid groups?

In summary, no one is forcing anyone instead let's allow nature to take its course. Any Igbo from SE begging or trying to coerce Igbos of SS is only doing so out of ignorance. Mark my words today, they are the ones that would beg to join us at the eleventh hour!

porthouse7:
Ogun state get more flyover than all 5 eastern state.... FACT

Ebonyi State alone has 15, how many does your ogun state has?

Are you even talking about the same ogun state that one can't visit with a private car from Lagos due to swamps and poto poto or another one?

Make una dey fear God small now. Spits!

Biodun556:
It's easy to drive with mouth

Don't be unfortunate by trying to associate every piece of rubbish with Igbos!

What does this stupid story lacking in moral education has to do with anything, talk more of Igbos?!

That you couldn't see the foolishness embedded in the story is even appalling. Why would IBB give the role of an economist/finance expert to a social critic just because he was criticizing him? Can't you see it was a mission bound to fail from the word go?

TAI Solarin too was either an opportunist or mentally dull to have taken a role he wasn't trained for.

The worst form of Biafra will be better than the best form of Nigeria! You can take that to the bank.

ScamHunter:
Hmmmmmm....

I am not understanding anymore. With all our hope that peace would be restored all over the country, why these jailbreak upon jailbreak that has been releasing hundreds of criminals and wanted personalities into the society? With the latest jailbreak in Yorubaland, one would have glossed over it aside from the fact that the warlord and Ibarapa conqueror, Wakili Isikilu was rumored to be among the escapees. This, if true is bad, very bad, considering that the guy was instrumental in sending hundreds of Yoruba aborigines to exile to the Republic la Benin. What is disturbing is that many of the exiles may still not have found their ways back home or are struggling to rebuild their lives. I would have presumed that a correctional center is designed for people that could be corrected and not terrorists that cut wide swats in tears and blood such as Wakili Isikilu. The man's name alone is enough to tell you that there are enough killing loaded in it.

Now to the crux of the matter. How would our people around Ibarapa area ever sleep again with their eyes closed with a vengeful dare-devil war-lord and commander of the western division of the Fulani conquering army unchained? Considering that this is a man that has tormented them as a one-man army? Worse still, the only brave man capable of countering IsiKILyou has been chained in the same Republic La Benin - what an irony. What a change of fortune for our Yoruba race. As if that is not bad enough, no one knows where IsiKILyou has been unchained, his new operational base and where the about to be renewed onslaught would commence.

I think it is high time we got serious with the fight against terrorism because with a one-man warlord like IsiKILyou roaming free, our beloved SW will not but turn to another NE or NW. I implore the security agencies to move quickly and tame the situation. Not even Republique La Benin would be happy receiving more Yoruba refugees as this is definitely bad for the WA sub-region. IsiKILyou must be found and re-chained for our people to sleep in peace.

EmekaA125:
The Ebonyi State Governor and Chairman South-East Governor's Forum, Chief Engr David Nweze Umahi has completed the Ultra Modern Government House in Abakaliki, South-East Nigeria.

Umahi has never relented in giving Ebonyi State a new look. His developmental strides are truly incomparable.

About 15 flyovers have been completed and commissioned so far while newly flagged off ones are nearing completion.

The Airport project is one of the massive and big project being executed by this administration. A solid economic development that would increase the economy of the solid mineral rich State.

Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State Capital and one of the most developing cities in SouthEast has continued to receive modern outlook boost under the incumbent governor with a view to competing with other nice cities in Nigeria like Lagos, Abuja, Enugu, PH and Owerri.

M.U.N

Umahi has done great things for Ebonyi State and posterity will remember him for good. I rate him among the first 5 greatest administrators of all times to have emerged from Igboland. To be categorized among legends like Akanu Ibiam, Michael Okpara and Sam Mbakwe is not a mean feat.

If only we can have someone like him to govern Imo State now, Owerri will definitely be compared with Abuja.

The fools are still living in denial. They should continue while the country is torn to shreds under their watch.

Tomorrow children of fallen demons will be making noise about how SW is the most peaceful place on Earth. Shebi all these kidnappings, killings, jailbreaks and refugee crises are all evidences of peace

Ijoh:
The area in the Ijaw Republic map.

The day Nigeria breaks and you try to lay claims to Opobo and Bonny is the day you will understand that paying a cathographer to draw maps based on your fantasies is just mere waste of time.

It took Ojukwu 12 days to seize Boro deep in your village, this time it will take 48 hours to pick up any of you that will try nonsense. Continue rambling online and believing you're mates with Igbos.

theTranscriber:
I posted almost 6 sources and it's a blog you see to give to me?

the link is even censored

you guys are a big joke

Sometimes I do wonder if you guys are educated at all, considering the embarrassing blunders most of you make online.

How on earth do you think that Odiani/olokumi people arrived there first before the Igbo aborigines?

If they arrived first, common sense should tell you that Igbo aborigines won't outnumber them by such extreme margins. Igbo aborigines won't have surrounded them is such way. And they won't have been found in just one small hamlet without any contigous relationship with other Yorubas in SW. You will have to trespass through lots of Igbo communities, Bini communities etc before you can get to Yoruba homeland.

These are 100% evidence to prove they settled relatively recently, and three possible reasons why they're there are;
1. They were fugitives running away from Yorubaland and were welcomed by the Igbos there.

2. They were slaves that eventually got their freedom but couldn't trace their way back to Yorubaland.

3. They were seasonal migratory farmers that eventually decided to settle at some point.

You couldn't even observe that the person who wrote the article you posted bears Igbo name

Despite all the outside induced killings and hullabaloo about East becoming Afghanistan, there weren't much difference between SE, SS and SW in terms of insecurity and loss of lives. But everyday children of hate from SW will keep making noise and wishing us evil.

Same evil they wish on us is already with them too. With the latest prison break there, it's only going to spike insecurity there. They even used bombs during the operation, something that hasn't happened in the East!

Hypocritical fools!!

Chai, I really feel sorry for Sunday Igboho, dude is trying to save people that are largely suffering from Stockholm syndrome and generational cowardice.

This guy must be full of regrets within him, to have left his wealth and luxury to fight for a people that don't appreciate his efforts and sacrifices is the worst thing that could happen to anyone. Today he is lonely and suffering in prison while those he was fighting for totally ignores like he never existed.

How would Sunday Igboho or any other person from that region have the courage and confidence to fight for them again in the future

Emergingnation:
Soldiers of the Nigerian Army are presently raiding Oyo town in Oyo State in a mass arrest of youths and residents in the aftermath of the attack on the Nigerian Correctional Service facility in Abolongo, SaharaReporters has learnt.

Some residents on Saturday stated that the military personnel were harassing innocent residents when the Fulani terrorists who carried out the attacks had fled the town.

“Now the Nigerian soldiers are in Oyo town are patrolling and arresting young boys at random and taking them away. This is very unsettling to the Oyo natives,” a source said.

“If these random arrests continue, the Oyo natives will start to prepare how they will defend themselves through diabolical means from the armed government personnel,” another resident stated.

SaharaReporters had earlier reported that top prison officials said that the gunmen who carried out the attack did so to free the detained notorious Fulani warlord, Iskilu Wakili and other criminal Fulani herdsmen in the facility.

Sources had told SaharaReporters that the gunmen three days before the Friday invasion struck in Ogbomoso, a neighbouring town to Oyo, and the security operatives were also fully aware of their presence in the area.

“The attack in Oyo last night from the Ogbomosho axis was a well-coordinated Fulani attack aimed at securing the release of Wakili, the terrorist whom (Sunday Adeyemo) Igboho drove away from Ibarapa. I am informed by my staff and very reliable people that he was the object of that attack last night at about 10pm,” one of the top sources had said. 

“The rest was just drama. My security staff told me the gunmen struck three days ago on the Oyo-Ogbomosho Road and around that time, their strange faces were also seen around an area the boys described to me. This was a well-coordinated attack with the objective to free Wakili and other Fulani inmates,” he added.  

SaharaReporters had earlier reported that the entrance to the prison was blown with an explosive device while security officials at the prison fled for their safety.

Speaking with SaharaReporters on phone, the spokesman of the NCS, Olanrewaju Anjorin, had said; “Yes. It has been confirmed that the attack actually happened. And right now, the Comptroller of Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) and other top officers are assessing the situation. But I can confirm to you that the incident actually happened."

On March 7, a joint team of Ibarapa security operatives, including the Oodua Peoples Congress, Vigilante, and other groups had arrested the notorious Fulani warlord terrorising Oyo communities, Wakili.  

Wakili had been arrested after several attempts resulting in a gun battle.

There had been reports that Wakili and his gang were involved in the killings and kidnapping of several people in Ibarapa, Oke Ogun, Oyo State.

Wakili was nabbed barely seven days after his second-in-command, Isiaka Muhammadu, was arrested alongside four others.

The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, had confirmed Wakili’s arrest in a statement.

Meanwhile, on June 7, no fewer than 17 persons were reportedly shot dead by gunmen suspected to be herdsmen at Igangan, in the Ibarapa North LGA.

Residents had said the hoodlums invaded the town on motorcycles around 11pm in an attack which continued until around 3am on Sunday.

They had fingered Wakili’s men on a revenge mission to be behind the attack.

The dead should bury the dead please.

They're even talking about fighting federal government with juju, such clowns

Hahaha, when you see evil happening anywhere, condemn it and don't try to mock those at the receiving end because tomorrow may be your turn.

Our brothers from the other side kept mocking Igbos but today the same evil has started happening to them too.

May karma run its full course in Jesus name!!

TenQ:
Many people blame citizens of Afghanistan for not resisting the Taliban and giving in so easily to them.
The question is:
If a Foreign Nation Invade Nigeria, will you be patriotic enough to enlist in the Army and Fight off the invaders.
Do you think it is worth your sacrifice?
Or
Will you be willing to accept any fate that befall you if the foreign invaders take over Nigeria?

Let's have the reasons for your choices!

Which kind jamb question be dis one kwanu? I will rather look for ways to enter into a treaty with them never to attack Igboland and then join forces with them to annihilate Nigger-area.

Only a mad man will fight to save this useless country

Nna men, it seems like IPOB is now fighting Nigeria at the global diplomatic fronts.

For them to be doing all these at same time shows they're well funded and has millions of dollars at its disposal.

I don't see this roforofo fight ending anytime soon

Pikin (Nigeria) wey say him mama (Biafra) no go sleep, he too no go sleep

Hahaha, the US already understand their terrorist tendencies towards Southerners, particularly East and has decided to preempt any such move.

All their evil plans is being frustrated already

All I see is poverty and slum settlements. Did Nigeria got stuck in 1925 while the rest of the world advanced?

These pictures are quite depressing to say the least. Kogi has not changed since I served there in 2011.

SMH!

Look at fools!!!

You kill their youths and burn their houses only to bring useless mattresses and plastic gallons

Amadioha strike you all there!!!

Deadlytruth:
How does this escapist rant explain why Ironsi destroyed the true federalism that would have in instilled the culture of discipline and spirit of hard work in Nigerians, thus preventing this attitude of laziness which causes drunkenness in the SS and drug trafficking and get rich quick mentality in the SE?

You don't expect me to answer an unintelligent question. If you're not blaming Zik, you are blaming Ojukwu or Ironsi for your laziness and re.tar.ded worldview. Is Ironsi the only military ruler that governed Nigeria? So Ironsi's 6 months as a ruler out of Nigeria's over 60 years existence is why ijaws have remained so myopic and stagnated?

Igbos should support North on this issue since these minority ogogoro drinking dofos don't want to grow a brain.

And for anyone that will want to use the line "but Igbos will lose too since Imo, Abia and Anambra also earns from it" Now look at the bigger picture, whatever we will lose as derivations will also be recovered by the increased allocations that will come to us when do the plus and minus.

These inconsequential lazy minorities should be taught a lesson. Since they see Igbos as their enemies, then let's play the devil's advocate and join the Gambaris in putting them where they belong as inconsequential ogogoro drinking minorities.
