Amaechi2023:
2023 is around the corner and we all know permutations are ongoing.

Not surprisingly, Amaechi seems to be on the presidential spotlight more often run recent times.

While his ambition is a welcome development to some, others are having a diverse view and reluctantly kicking against his ambition.



Amaechi no matter what can never be completely rejected by the igbos. He's partly Igbo by ethnicity hence no matter the political sentiment driving the igbos politically, A great number would still go back to the drawing board.



Now let's analyse Amaechi chances and the igbos support.



What the igbos stand to lose not voting Amaechi.



Amaechi is originally ikwere by tribe, the ikwere are partly or highly related to the igbos. They speak same language.

Igbos not voting Amaechi would be the worst form of political foolishness and betrayal. They'l lose their trust and respect completely from other southern tribes, The North would see them as fools and would withdraw any form of political negotiation in the future, lastly their greatest enemy Yorubas would laught at them thereby having greater chance amongst other southern region politically. the South East and South south has always faired in similar position except for Edo in the South south. Igbos not voting Amaechi would completely ruin the little strenght both region has built together making them both vulnerable to their political enemies.



What they stand to gain.

Well political interest only becomes a fierce battle amongst tribes and region when there's a failed leadership. When things are fairing better, people would focus more on good leadership.

Amaechi with his track records has proven to be very resourceful from his reing as Governor of rivers state to him being a minister. There has been positive results.

Igbos supporting such a resourceful candidate would be a good sell out to their identity. The masses would fall back to the drawing board on how political sentiment had failed them in the past and start thinking progressively towards the political positivity of the igbos.

So far the igbos has managed to produce the best and hardworking governors compared to other region which is a political plus to their reputation.

Voting Amaechi would bring the igbos closer to the helm of politics hence giving them the chance to show their industrious and hardworking nature,

A vote for Amaechi is most likely to unite the North and the South East for the first time in Nigeria politics thereby creating a more united Nigeria.



God bless Nigeria.

Has not laid a plank for railway line that ends in his home town, Igwecoha (Port Harcourt). The people of Kaura Namoda and Katsina will vote him. He does not need the vote of Igbo and other folks in south eastern region of Nigeria.

Osagyefo98:
Remove Amaechi from that list...


We are talking of Igbo presidency not Ikwerre presidency.

Amaechi has publicly re-emphasized of his being Igbo. He is not worse than Uratta, Ngwa, Wawa, Anioma, Enuani, Izza. Aro and Isu person of Igbo ethnicity.

Lagos has really suffered. Edo state has the effrontery to create a political slogan that puts Lagos State in bad taste.

No group of people from a reasonable country would elevated Shehu Musa Yar'Adua to a position he occupied by the time he commissioned the road. A relatively junior officer was elevated three ranks and made second in command simply placate section of the country and a particular ethnicity. I simply hate Nigeria with passion. I pray everyday for its disintegration. A dumbass country known for setting wrong precedents.

@OP

Obiano cannot be as bad as Okoroawusa of Imo State.

PortHardcore:
I realized why Africa is perpetually poor and getting bought up by Ch!na and in so much debt.

Africans dont believe in Organised Commerce/Capitalism.

They sit and wait for the government to provide almost everything,or they flee to foreign countries to enjoy what those racists already built for their country.

Africans wont build private hospitals for themselves,they wait for the corrupt government to do it.
Africans wont build private power plants for themselves,they wait for the corrupt government to do it.
Africans wont commercialize their agriculture,they rather waste 1000s of acres of land for subsistence farming.
All Africans do is import goods from racist countries while theyre sitting on trillions of dollars of resources.

Look at the companies in Nigeria VS the companies in Texas!

Nigeria has a population of 200Million and is twice the size of Texas.

@OP,

You are very much on top of the issue. However, I must say you are too academic with the facts. The unalloyed and elementary aspect of the entire African issue remains that most Africans are perfidiously naive, sentimental to a fault and intellectually lazy. Most Africans are only group who had god formal education yet believed on the craps of yesteryears and could bet their lives on the junk without finding what actually is the fact. Have Africans ever challenge the stupid idea of equating ‘Black” to Africa? For better part, Africans cannot think for themselves. How can a group of people who cannot possibly thought-out a nice way to commit suicide engage in “Organized Capitalism”? These are junks who do not know when they have been used as token granted their tribe’s members were used for the gamble.

Racoon:
The Nigerian Army has said it is not their duty to expose those sponsoring Boko Haram in the country. Coordinator of Defence Media Operations, John Enenche, stated this at a media briefing on Thursday.

Enenche admitted that the Army knows that some criminal groups have heavy financial backing, but its major task is to fight “terrorism and other criminality”.

He explained that the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and the Department of State Services (DSS) were responsible for revealing the sponsors.

“It is not the duty of the military to uncover the sponsors.
Our duty is to remain in the frontline and defeat terrorism and other criminality and that is what we are doing."

“We have the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and the Dept of State Security (DSS). It is their responsibility to gather intelligence on the sponsors of the terrorists and not the military,” Enenche maintained.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/dailypost.ng/2020/07/02/why-we-cannot-expose-boko-haram-sponsors-nigerian-army/

What an arrant nonsense. Boko Haram is not Area boys or cultists. Boko Haram is an invading force wishing to capture and change the government of Nigeria. Nigerian military has every obligation to inform the certain documents captured from the invading force called Boko Haram. The countries and persons behind the activities of the marauding army should be exposed. Nigerians are entitled to know from the so-called Nigerian armed forces who are behind the invading force called Boko Haram.

The pictures did not proffer an iota of development. Rice farm or nonsensical stadium can never amount to development. Boy, let me inform you that development does not equate to street lights. Any fool can install bulbs to shine at night. There is more to development than cement and steel.

mrcoolautofix:
Hello,
before commenting, let me state something clear, I don't need any form of negative people who have a beclouded mindset that harbor nothing fruitful or useful to the progress of our different society but negatively structured our of ignorance & prejudice.

If you can't read history check @mosesmalcomx on tiktok, you will respect our African leaders, and know why African countries is stumbling over one poverty stage to another.

If you are not among those miscreants, I will say a big welcome to you all,

98% of you see our politicians to be bad, & western politicians are the best, but the truth is the irony of that perception, because you don't know your history that's why,

This question of Is is possible to Actualize United States Of Africa often raises an eye balls, & the western folks are always first to jump into negative answer of NO giving the Africa future leaders not policy makers or takers a dead end to their aspirations to liberate Africa from the western imperialist parasites, and this that Catholical perception demeans the power of our mind to conceive the positive energy that lies within us, from creating hope for our unborn generations,

My best answer to actualization of United States Of Africa is YES,

I have always seeing solutions where there is problems, and African Unity Is not going to be out of my equation, but I will need you, we need each others, cos I believe in each of you,

Our solidarity will not only create an ever green revolution and nation for ourselves, but make use the leaders of today not tomorrow which we now percieved as scams,

the power of your creativity to establish a future that will fuel our economy growth, reenergize & reinstate our stolen identities.

The slogan that those who have power don't have idea and those who have ideas don't have power in Africa, which is often a term used to caricature African decay situations is not natural but western imperialist parasites engineered,

To create distabilization in our economy, disbelieve in ourselves, as much as always perceiving them as supreme by any means necessary, Bible religion such as Christianity Islam and history,

My creating this thread today is for something bigger,

OUR FUTURE AND THE FUTURE OF OUR UNBORN GENERATION IS AT THE TIP OF ICE BERG BROTHERS AND SISTERS!


the incompetency of our politicians, dancing to the tone of the western imperialist drum of destruction destabilization isn't for our benefit and calls for a greate concern of us from every corner of Africa to come together to offset the drum of hopelessness, joblessness, futureless and mental enslavement.

Fela said we are scared to die which is true, but if we all know that no one will get out of this world alive, then it's time we dig two graves and make decisions about who will be first & next to be buried dead or alive in those grave, we, our enemies or the fried of our enemies.

Tribalism does not allow equality to exist in ordinary Nairaland forum and here you are talking about United States Of Africa. I could easily agree with you if you were talking about United Fools Of Africa.

Yampotatocarrot:
The girl did a nice job. I hope she infuses some Igbo language into it next time.

Did anybody find it awkward that all the tunnels and overhead bridges Rocha's built are considered "impassable" by imolites? So those structures are just a waste of taxpayer's fund?

Anyone also notice the beauty of Concorde Avenue? A closer look will reveal that the beauty is due to both the state of the road and THE GREEN ENVIRONMENT, I was expecting the planting of trees to extend beyond the avenue unfortunately it didn't.

Another beautiful road is the one leading to Rochas College junction, which is due to the white markings on the road.

Please, who knows the name of those trees in the middle of the road with branches pointing upwards, and why ain't they removing the ones that have fallen down?

This is a video that exposes the true state of Owerri and aside the duplicity of hotels, I sure am not impressed at all. You will notice that aside the major roads, the inner roads in most areas ain't tarred. If the state capital is like this, one can only begin to imagine the rot in the other parts of the state.

Are there even factories/industries in Imo state/Owerri at all?

Let me quickly add this, from what I see in the video, most drivers in Owerri need driving lessons or its probably because the roads are scanty. A lot of driving errors that will have caused your car to be bashed numerous times if you ever drove like that in a city like Lagos.

#ImoStateWillBeBetter#

Yet some goons will navigate to this forum to emphasize the good job Okoroawusa performed in Imo State. Okoroawusa tenure as the governor of Imo State was the most wasteful of all governors. It was during the jackass's reign that Imo State academically fell out of first 4 in Nigeria. What a dunce. I had rather send him to his forbearer than praise the fool.

It's unfortunate that your parents did a bad work on you, don't know how old you are because age is insignificant when one is ready to know the history of his Homeland. Irrespective of my vaste experience and educational exposure, only visits my kingdom during vacations since I was born. I can speak fluently and am abreast of my culture courtsey of my lovely parents .
Your place of leaning during ears does not depict your ancestral heritage because allies are made during wars for sustainability of a given kindom. I will want you to do the needful and enquire from elderly ones around you so that you can be schooled properly towards this regard.

The above is a typical example of gibberish. Maybe your parents informed you that Akalaka or Akaraka was an Edo or Benin folk yet it has no intelligible representation among the Benin or Edo people.

Touts are just every where in this forum. Ekpeye kingdom is not Biafra don't decieve ur generation

Ekpeye kingdom is under Ahoada Division. The last time I check though, Ahoada was an integral part of the defunct eastern region of Nigeria. Nigeria is not the basket of fools for nothing.

The South East Governors, in conjunction with Ohanaeze Ndigbo, have agreed to set up a driving force for the development of Igbo land known as Alaigbo Stabilization Fund.

“The Fund is intended to develop Igbo land to the status of Catalonia in Spain and Bavaria in Germany,” Chief Emeka Attamah, S. A. Media and Publicity to President General, Chief John Nnia Nwodo, said Tuesday in a statement.

“Towards this objective, a 50-man steering committee made up of experts and professionals in banking, finance and development economics drawn from the diaspora and all the South East states have been set up to draft the basis of Alaigbo Stabilization Fund and its governance protocol,” Ohanaeze said in the statement issued from its headquarters in Enugu.

“The Committee has as its Chairman a renowned economist and development expert and former Economic Adviser to President Obasanjo, Prof. Osita Ogbu, while Anyim Ude, will serve as its Secretary,” the apex Igbo group said.

It named other members of the Committee as Mac Atasia, Ike Chioke, Patrick Okigbo, Nnanna Anyim Ude, Dr Nick Okoye and Dr Ndy Onukwuesi.

Others are Emeka Onwuka, Dave Nwachukwu, Chief Aloysius Ihezie, Dr Bernard Orbika, Ngozi Odumuko, Jerome Okolo, Emeka Ugwuoju and Reginald Ihebuzor.

Also in the Committee are Ben Nwawudu, Monye Chuka, Dr Sam Amadi, Dr Joe Abah, Ede Solomon, Barrister Nwachukwu, Prof. Ejiofor of WIC and Air Vice Marshall Obierika.

Efih Peace Joins Zaragoza CFF
1st July 2020

Former Edo Queens and Rivers Angels midfielder, Efih Peace has joined Spanish Liga Iberdrola side, Zaragoza CFF. www.kick442.com can report.

The confirmation of her transfer was revealed on Zaragoza’s official Twitter handle and website on Wednesday, July 1, 2020.



The young African footballer, Peace, arrives from fellow Liga Iberdrola side, Sporting de Huelva, and thus becomes the new reinforcement for the Aragonese team, ahead of 2020-21 season.

The 19-year-old is characterized by her strength and physical display that develops in the midfield, although she also performs in the extreme position. Last season, she played a total of 18 matches with Huelva.

Efih Peace on her personal Facebook page also confirmed her transfer when she said “it’s been God, thank you Lord for another face of life. God over everything. 100% God”.

Before her arrival in European and Spanish football, she already had previous experience in the Nigerian Women’s league with Edo Queens and River Angels, in addition to an important international background with the Nigerian U-17 and U-20 team.

This girl could develop into a very good player.

Please can anybody explain to me what football philosophy Chelsea FC adopted? Are they in the premier league to win by scoring goals or stupidly kicking the ball among themselves?

There leaders decimated and shredded

How many President yoruba don make for Nigeria

Awolowo lost

Oshiomole lost
Tinubu lost

What are you saying again?

See Yoruba propaganda and confirm your self

If Yoruba support you.... failure is sure


Yoruba propaganda over two years have been claiming igbo support make people lose

Should we start naming politicians Yoruba supported that failed and faded?


I don’t like Yoruba because of their hatred and propaganda
Here Northerners hate Yoruba more than they hate infidels

Fact!

And the keep showing it to Yoruba people ... but Yoruba will keep attaching by force

Aboki is straight as wall... they hate betrayal.. resin the name Yoruba ... Bayerebe

Go figure

The above poster should be advised to return to school for his/her good. During the Nigerian parliamentary elections in 1959 and 1964, this poster should have known that Tafawa Balewa contested in his federal constituency in Bauchi province and Igbo did not vote for him. Even NPN under Shehu Shagari did not get Igbo despite a son as the VP on the ticket. A prominent Igbo son even failed senatorial election at the same time when Shehu Shagrai ran for office. It is a pity too many ignoramuses are allowed to flood this forum with junks.

I simply want disintegration of the shithole called Nigeria. I hate to associate with certain punks from certain parts of the shithole called Nigeria.

IkwerrePikin:
Even Prof. Wole Soyinka believes in ROTIMI AMAECHI.


Tinubu believes in his hardwork and political strength!

Rotimi Amaechi signifies Southern Unity

A South South man, with Yoruba (Rotimi) name and Igbo (Amaechi) name! It’s all set!

The strongest and most experienced politician from Southern Nigeria! Former Speaker, Governor, chairman Governors forum, Two term Minister, Director General Buhari Campaign that brought Opposition Apc to power.

FLASH back:


Rt.Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is the Commander and General of the Common sense revolution army that defeated a sitting President, he is a wonder boy!
~Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2015

Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is the most courageous Nigerian I have ever seen,he is tactful, fearles,reliable, workaholic, honest and blunt. ~Prof.Wole Soyinka

It will amount to injustice and unfairness for the north to contest for President in 2023 after 8 years of Buhari,the South should prepare for 2023.~Gov.Ahmed Nasir Elrufai,Governor of Kaduna State.

God helping us,we will handover to a young Nigerian in 2023~President Buhari in 2019

Think,I am just thinking!

Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is as good as the bolded only to the northerners and south-westerners where he, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has been busy constructing railway lines as if southeast and south-south are forbidden part of Nigeria. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is a dumbass dude who has been chasing rats while his house is on fire.

clarocuzioo:
I told somebody this last year, that Amaechi is APC's best option in the south. He is their best shot.

AMAECHI PRESIDENCY:

First he will pacify the Niger Delta region who feel cheated and humiliated with the way their son, Goodluck Jonathan was booted out, especially as they are technically feeding the whole Nation through oil.

Secondly, they will use him to also say Igbos have been given Presidency. That will also quench fire in certain quarters.

South East and South South will support Amaechi Presidency.

Amaechi is a Christian, so it will be easy to balance power with a northern Muslim, the likes of El-Rufai, Ganduje or any other northern Muslim will easily fit in. This is even the major challenge of Tinubu presidency, who will be Tinubu's VP.

Amaechi is in the good books of the cabal as he technically bank rolled Buhari's election.

Amaechi will probably get the support of the north and southwest where Amaechi has been busy building railway lines. Amaechi will never get the support of southeast and maybe south-south. Do south east and south-south excluded from the beneficiaries of the railway construction in the shithole called Nigeria?

Dogogo1900:
That would be very good,we in the South South would be very happy but we must let you know that Amaechi is Ikwere in the South South.
We understand that our Igbo brothers really want to attach with us by all means but we are sorry to tell you that we are South South.
We humbly ask you to leave us out of your political calculations.

You have written like a typical ill-educated Nigerian.

Poverty is natural phenomenon which cannot be eradicated. If you cannot eradicate affluence then you cannot do same to poverty.

Actually, Niger is derived from the word, Negro; BLACK because of the idiotic misconception of the appearance of the people from the area by the foolish colonialists. Humans cannot be classified with color and color cannot be human beings. It is unfortunate that most Africans cannot formulate a thought to look clever. Please pardon me for digressing for the sake of posterity. So-called “Black” in USA is at it again.

The funniest trend is the silly “Black Lives Matter”. These jackasses seemed to be against anything slavery yet they arrogate the term “Black” which streamed out of slavery to themselves. This is 1965 civil right all over again. They assumed to have been given the right yet today they ask about the same right that was presumably given to them in 1965. They have voted for one political party for more 55 years and whenever they gather for their silly political shenanigans, they keep shouting “We have to vote”. Who gives a ratass if these ninnies vote? Maybe the Democratic Party will listen.

Africans have not shown the ability of people who can reason for themselves. African must initiate the move to dismantle all the relics of colonialism in Africa including silly names such as Nigeria and foolish independences granted to sustain colonial interest in Africa. Mr. Nnamdi Kanu has a solid point in the case of Nigeria.

Afospecialk:
Unfortunately, our miscreant inconsequential 5% potopoto republic bloooders are busy celebrating Giadom & creating several tops with thousands like just to cry on top of Tinubu matter bcs Tinubu has positioned SW in the development plan of the Buhari administration while their Red Mud Soil Erosion Republic politicians like Giadom can't fight for any tangible projects for their marginalized republic in the $22.6 billions loan from China


Pls create more topics in the name of Tinubu and cry as much as possible bcs its not easy to be marginalized and worst part is that the fresh $22.6 billion loan is only for the North and SW

Remember you cannot eat your cake and have it.

Is the Niger Delta bridge not in SE?

Are you sure this discussion is suited for your level of intellect?

Arrewa:
What am about dish out here is nothing but fact,I am a well known northerner on nairalander that don't sugar coat my words to please anybody.

I'm an active member of Arewa youths consultative forum!

I'm about to say the mind of an average northner towards the Yoruba people.

The truth is that we trust the Igbos more than the Yorubas.

If an igbo man hates you... He makes it clear to you that he hates you and you'll know how to relate with him.

A Yoruba man at the other hand will pretend to love you but will be stabbing you from behind.

I have even observed that even here on Nairaland.

But as for 2023 election...Tinubu or Osibanjo will preside over this country

We could have support igbo presidency if like the Igbos played their politics right and face their real enemies (their politicians) and leave the north out of their choronic hatred.

We have no intention of retaining power beyond 2023.

We will surely handover to the south... And that must be the south west.

Forget about this Giadom buhaha... We call it shadow politcs, South west and north are still on track... Soon you'll see Buhari and tinubu laughing and chilling.

Yorubas... Stop allowing ipob members to be playing with your emotions... Am so dissapointed that despite all your education you're all falling for this propaganda.

This should not be first time we've been voting Yorubas to preside over the affair of this country.

The only problem we have here is that Buhari is killing Apc with his style of leadership,especially when it comes to security.

If things continue like this... The north will no longer be loyal to the APC because of its failure to carry out the duty it was voted for.

An average northner is straight forward and honest.

We don't trust the yorubas... We know the Yorubas and know about all their media war against the north...

But politically we trust them cos no better option from the south that worth our vote more than the Yorubas.

We will vote for a Yoruba candidate come 2023 and will abandon our own brother in PDP only if Buhari will do the right thing by restoring back APC lossing glory in north.

Our people are loyal to APC and they see APC as the only Party that is ready to emancipate Nigeria from Corruption.

MODIFIED: can't believe that Igbos here are calling me a Yoruba man cos I supported yoruba presidency in my article

You are free to believe in anything that makes you feel better and happy

Please edit the above crap properly so that one can, at least, give you the benefit of doubt about your claim of being an active member of Arewa youths consultative forum. In one instance you are going to give Nigeria to southwest zone and another you will deny the Yari.ba the opportunity to preside over the shithole called Nigeria. What a loser.

tamdun:
God Don answer some people prayer be that, u think Nigeria belongs to the north? This is 21st century u better wake up

The northerners never thought about Nigeria which belongs to them until the Yari.ba and certain minorities in the south made them to think so.

A willing tool shall remain as one for a very long time.

Jwonder:
Bola @AsiwajuTinubu thought he was doing @GEJonathan.

Now, look at Jonathan. Face of Democracy in Africa. Feted by the world. A Global statesman

Now, look at Tinubu. The fate that befell Afonja is befalling him!

By their TEETH he shall know them!

The Reno of a boy loves to deliver devastating uppercuts. I guess the scenario is not limited to Tinubu.

ProfDview1:

OF NIGER DELTA, FEB. 1966
The coming of the ‘January boys’ in 1966 and the near collapse of the Nigerian project orchestrated by the Biafran threats snowballed the discontent of the Ijaw youths and in February, Isaac Boro led a squad of 150 volunteers to pullout the Ijaw people from Nigeria under the new state called The Niger Delta Republic.
However, the movement was crushed within TWO WEEKS, Boro was arrested by the Military and was jailed for treason by General Johnson Thomas Aguiyi Ironsi.

RELEASE FROM MILITARY GULAG
Major Boro narrowly escaped execution and was given the job of setting up amphibious units by GENERAL YAKUBU GOWON. He was commissioned into the Military along with NDVF heroes and given the Rank of a Major. When he joined the Nigerian Army, he moved to No.2 Wilmer, Apapa, Lagos.

BORO ROLE IN THE BIAFRAN WAR
During the period leading to the Biafran War, Isaac Boro had informed the Earstern Region Governor, Odimegwu Ojukwu that the Ijaws will not be a part of the Biafran Secessionist Movement. On declaration of the BIAFRAN Republic(With the Niger Delta Occupied), Adaka Boro was made Commander of 19th Brigade under Col Benjamin Adekunle(Of Blessed memory) who as at that time was the GOC 3rd Div. Boro led the Military under him,mostly Ijaws to clear the Niger Delta of Biafran Rebels. Which he successfully did within a record short period and was hailed by the Military Headquarters in Lagos. He famously DANCED IN Okrika when the locals came out to celebrate their Hero.

AMBUSH AND DEATH MAY 9, 1968
[color=#006600]The Biafrans had been whipped, Isaac Adaka Boro went out on private visit in Okrika , he was ambushed by fleeing BIAFRAN Forces. He was shot and killed.[/color]

WHO CONSPIRED WITH THE FLEEING BIAFRANS TO KILL BORO?
Opinions was divided as to the Conspirators. While some alleged that Benjamin Adekunle had a hand by some Ijaws, another set of Ijaws(Majority Ijaw Forces) however disputes it.
According to Roy Tomo-Spiff who was among Boro's Force that fought against the Biafran Rebels at that time.

"Now I want you to know that Adekunle was nowhere close to Ogu where Boro died, nor was he a commander of any particular unit or units. Adekunle, the Scorpion, was a Division Commander with a lot of Majors, Lt. Cols. and Cols. under him and he loved brave soldiers, so Maj. Boro couldn’t have been his adversary. The worst he could have done if Boro was insubordinate was to demote him or Court Marshall him. But Maj. Boro was a very brave soldier and was respected by all."

So, the story that Adekunle planned the killing or killed Major Boro is false as it was only a rumor. And we all know that rumors appeal only to lunatics.

GENERAL YAKUBU GOWON was also visibly angry that he had to redeploy Benjamin Adekunle so as to restore confidence of the Ijaw People and replaced him with Col Olusegun Obansajo.
The circumstance surrounding Boro's death is still not clear, but one thing is Certain, [b]HE WAS AMBUSHED BY FLEEING BIAFRANS

The above crap is one of the numerous reasons I want Nigeria to be disintegrated. I cannot dream of having people with above mindset as compatriots. Igbo was not a country and could careless if Niger Delta becomes a republic. Even the defunct eastern region was not a country and did not have the a reason to stop Niger Delta goons to declare independence. If the deluded Adaka Boro was stopped, I guess he and fellow ninnies were quenched by Nigeria. Adaka Boro was nobody and remained nobody as far as Biafra's declaration of independence was in works.
Nigeria is very unlucky country to have its section populated by the pitiable dunces.

According the above crap, one wonders how Biafrans who were whipped by Nigerian soldiers still were able to flee and stage an ambush. In his book, Alabi-Isama claimed that Adekunle staged an ambush to eliminate Isama and Akinrinede at the railway crossing at Uzoaku/Owaza but failed. Again, if the alleged ambush was successful, this goon could equally argue that Adekunle who was in Port Harcourt during the action of the ambush was nowhere close to Uzoaku/Owaza railway crossing.

Whether Adekunle planned to kill Adaka or not, it did not concern Biafrans. The main strategy of Biafrans was to delete both Adekunle and Adaka or any nit who stood in front of the actualization of Republic of Biafra.
