AlexBells:
Either you don't understand the content or you see everything from the purview of some sort, I said Aquaphobia, it does not mean that we don't travel by water, but that majority are scared of waters and I had given you instances among my random friends who had made their phobia clear and at least 2 people responding to this post had attested to that,

Science doesn't take note of what we feel it is what it is, I expected you to challenge me to a swim in the River Niger since you are from Anambra and I can be available to witness it if the conditions are appropriate for me not some sailing statistics and routes.

A good numbers of Igbos are scared of large body of water, anything bigger than a river, and if you read also very well I made mention of a friend of mine who is in the navy, ofcourse he is Igbo just like everyone but he had overcome his phobia, I have other people who are sailors, I'm talking about a people being water friendly, that's not a typical Igboman

Go back and read you post again.

As for this your new development, when did your two friends turn to the Igbo population?
It is only few, I mean very few that grew up in SE that will say that they don't know how to swim. what was the person doing with his childhood?

As for River Niger, my friend are you OK?
The biggest part of River Niger is in Ogbaru and they are known as water people. Nobody born in Ogbaru can say that he can't swim (fact).

This Ogbaru?

cocolacec:
Aquaphobia came as a result of slave trade.Igbos ancestors know the sea is the route of slave merchants from Bini and Itshekiri.It is better to run than be sorry.

You should have asked yourself why your people still fear the word Igbo till tomorrow. Or ask them why you people are very small.
Go and ask your grandparents.

You are lucky the slave trade ended, if not, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

All you Itsekiri, Bini, Igala (that constitute 60% of slaves in Anambra area, that slave caste you are hearing of), Urhobo, Isoko etc are just very lucky that the British abolished slave trade.

Igbo slave raiders never moved by land.

Mr OP, with all due respect, this your post reeks of low research, personal idiocy and an attempt to override the igbo man's personality.

Prior to modern era, Ndigbo never did trade with one another by foot except for very close towns, this is the main reason Ndigbo never saw the need to use beasts of burden.

Even till date, Ndigbo still retain those routes. They trigger it whenever the need arises like during the war, Covid 19 lockdown, state curfews etc.

During the war, Igbo Refugees sailed to Gabon, Equatorial Guinea etc. For intra migration, refugees from extreme northern part of present day Ebonyi state sailed to safer places like Okija, beating Nigerian genocide soldiers.

During Covid 19, there was no serious breach of state curfews between SE states and igbo parts of SS because the police were mounted on the road not water.
During that Covid 19, nobody that knows the route well from Anambra, Enugu or Ebonyi will tell you that Checkpoints on land can stop him from reaching PortHarcourt, Uyo or Calabar.


Some of you will just wake up one day and start looking for ways to insult Ndigbo.

The picture below illustrates ancient Igbo trade routes. Look at it, none was by land
The second and third are Igbo towns near water

Owologbo:
When has the SS blamed the Igbo for whatever you are insinuating?
And for your information, no SS State is interested in Biafra ok.

Good.
No need to expel lazy people later that have entitlement mentality later.

Owologbo:
so, who's the elephant in the room?

The one that keeps on making excuses.
First it was Ndigbo and after the war, Ndigbo lost and they celebrated. They even have a holiday for it.
Now after 50 years, none of them can match Igbo success. None of them can compare to Ndigbo in any standard despite receiving times 50 of what Ndigbo receive. They can't say it's because of policy because both of us knows that Ndigbo are worst hit by that. In fact we are handicapped.
Now failing to find a way to blame Ndigbo as usual, they turn in innocent Yoruba and Hausa. Can't they just realize that they are the problem. This even confirm that they were the problem of Eastern region sef.
When someone keeps pushing blame, what it shows is that person doesn't want to make a change. They should recognize the problem which is their laziness and entitlement mentality.
Left for me, I don't want to see any of them in Biafra

emezuo17:
. Sorry I replied without understanding the sacarsm in your statement.

I apologize for any bad word from my part as well

AbaganaMiracle:
Illiteracy is a very big disease. See what your fulani masters have reduced all of you drunkards to.

Aboki e be like say you no Sabi read.
Go and focus on your suya, propaganda is not for you. You no Sabi am

Adamu Garba just listed the people and organization under the control of Fulani in Igbo land.
Umahi,Uzodimgba and Ebube Atulu.
For doubting Thomas, you can see clearly

Igbo Amaka there.
Anambra Amaka.

Now for those telling us not to build our own Airport because our neighbors have Airports. You can now shut down all your own and start using ours.
Teach us with practicals

iammo:
Tallest building in an oil rich state is 17 story tower... Na wa

Oyel money keep developing Lagos and Abuja

Na lie. Before 1970 it was "used to develop only Enugu" now that there is no Eastern Region you people push blame to Lagos and Abuja.
Una no dey shame?
When will you people start acknowledging the elephant in the room. The problem is not anybody but YOU PEOPLE (the entire SS)
You people are not industrious.
See the type of people MNK wants us to inherit.
Chai we go hear am

gidgiddy:
Foolish thread created to cause division

They think we don't know them. Lol
Afonjas don't even know that new generation Ebonyi people are more synonymous to Anambra because that is where 70% of them grew up. They are more Anambra than Ebonyi (whatever those states mean sef)

Ndị Afonjọ and bitterness. See what this Afonja woke up to post. Tụfịakwa. What do you expect from a Hyena.

Afonjas no go kill person with laugh . In sensible and reasonable places, youths rise and fight injustice but in Afonja land youths sleep, sex and do owambe while calling on their 80 plus years old elders to fight for them.
If cowardice was an ethnicity

Gov Nyesomovie Wike Osaremnem planting bombs in Ph to frame Ipob.
Shameless Binikere man

Lol @ Nigeria propaganda.
Whicj one is "would they in their honesty allow us to own shop in Onitsha and Ariaria market?
Ọga propaganda, shops are rented in Igboland not ALLOCATED

Finally if we have concluded that it only Ndigbo that want to leave then cut us out. Even if it is only SE, we will manage

Sorry my Afonja and confused friends from SS for my statement above. At this point in time, everybody needs to fight for their own individual secession. It was fun fighting with you guys. Nevertheless after our own freedom we will still support you all secessionist agenda from Nigeria as a country till you all are free as well. I hope you all understand

Benue people don suffer. And that Herdsman called Omenka will be talking rubbish.
These herdsmen should also go and visit the Afonjas hiding in Benin Republic IDP camps and do justice to them.
But let's be honest to ourselves, Benue actually deserves this and don't need pity from anybody.
Below was how they voted in 2015 and 2019. Even at 2019,they didn't learn. They were against the person Afonjas spread around their media to be "Igbo oriented"

Pic 1 = 2015
Pic 2 =2019

Even in 2019 at the heat of the killing, they wee still pro Buhari. Giving Buhari a block vote of 3 hundred and something thousands. That is a split vote.
They don't deserve any pity. "They thought they were doing Igbo people"
They should enjoy their Buhari in peace

Safely delivered.
Afonja land and Niger state go hear am. Afonjas wondering why I said so?
Bandits capture town in Niger state and Boko Haram hoist flag "E GET WHY"
AND Ibarapa /Igangan have been the hot seat of Banditry in the south. It is just a matter of time

Bettykeys:


Because of uncompleted structure called Airport ?

When we already have the best international Airport in West Africa countries


That's how you people were cerebrating the first Overhead bridge in Anambra as an achievement when ordinary Abeokuta can boost of over 15 head bridge

Mediocrity

This Abeokuta or another one?
Were you expecting Oscars award for this lies?

Even in IDP camps they are still not safe.
This should sound as a lesson to all these shameless Hyenas from Afonja land that think they can text rubbish because they are hiding in Benin Republic IDP camps
My condolences go to the victims family and well wishers

christistruth01:
But this thread is five years ago

This thread is the history

Mr Governor calm down, your state is like times two of SE so no damage done

Please as a matter of urgency, Nurses should be deployed with immediate effect to check the BP of Afonjas in wasted land before some die of Hypertension from of this news.

One thing about Fulani and Northern Nigerians is that they are very GREEDY.
It is no news that SE Akwa Ibom, Cross Rivers and now Rivers state is no longer within their reach going with the timeline of Unknown Gunmen activities.
Instead of accepting it, cutting them out and focus on people that can't fight them. People that are still scared of them. That is SW, Middle Belt and Bayelsa before they catch this fever and start resisting them as well.
A wise conqueror knows when to detour

Oyo? Afonja?
Not serious. Let's focus on people that matters. Everybody should be digging about Igbariam not this

greymiles:
And nobody could attack them
Are you trying to say igbos are cowards in their land?
U all hide ur tails between ur legs and video from afar
This cannot happen in Enugu, Anambra people are cowards

Aboki that is a student environment. The person recording the video is a student.
As for those your brothers that killed , be assured they will never come back in one piece.
Their two terror buses have been discovered and taken over by youths and very soon they will all be apprehended in the bush they ran to and sent to God

This is all for the pictures. Nnewi security/vigilante is the most active in Igboland. Because of them, Nnewi is the most conducive for Business with extremely little to no intimidation from Agbero.
This is exactly how Biafra will look like. Protect your own community the way you like. If you want it to be as lawless as Afonja land where Agbero reign supreme, your wahala
