GOOD EVENING MY FELLOW NAIRALANDERS,

am spending my weekend at the office and after clearing my table,i decided to relax with some youtube videos, while watching all sorts of short clips of gangstar shootouts on brooklyn street, and other gun related deaths, my mind traveled to world war, and watched some clips.

in the middle of this, the thought of secession came to my mind, no day will go by without a thread talking about Biafra, and i was prompted to view how the biafra war was like. i came across this video (link below), and i was astonished by the detailed analysis of the war. it saddens my heart to see how people were displaced and lives were lost.
i see so many of our Igbo folks talking about secession and they even boast that they are battle ready, if you witness this kind of artillery attack for a split second, you will change your mind.

if the Igbo people wants to break out of this Country of ours, please lets thread the peaceful path

i pray for a United Country where equality and Justice is been served to its populace.

God bless Nigeria
God bless Nairaland
God bless us all

When it comes to attitude Yorubas called everybody cowards, they call Nnamdia Kanu coward for operating outside Nigeria but NADECO operators were outside Nigeria including Radio Kudirat.

They call Ojukwu, Tompolo, Asari Coward but Ogundipe ran away without hearing a gunshot despite being an army general.

Yorubas wanted to fight FG in June 1993 because of election annulment, their fight with FG lasted for 3 days because half ran outside Nigeria, others sneaked inside Benin Republic, even when Abiola declared himself a winner it was two Igboment that were there to support him, Ralph Obioha and Bobo Nwosisi. The entire Yoruba ran away, Abiola and Wife were killed like chicken yet nobody could challenge the killers.
Al Mustapha came out of prison Yoruba shamelessly people drove him on motorcade from Lagos to Kano.

Hausa Fulani ransacked Ore in 1999 nobody from Yorubaland raised an eyebrow.

Hausas killed Yoruba youths in Mile2 nobody did nothing.

Hausa clashed with Yoruba at Yaba, Yorubas ran away.

Hausas clashed with Yorubas at Suru-Alaba, Yorubas ran away.

Outside Lagos, Yorubas have been attacked.

At Osogbo last year by Hausas.

Yorubas were attacked in Ekiti by Hausas this year.

At Ibadan Yorubas were attacked by Hausas.

Last month Hausas killed a Yoruba youth in Ikorodu, Yorubas threatened for three days.

Last week an Hausa scavenger killed a Yoruba Rabbit seller at Aggege, Yorubas can't even raise an eyebrow.
During the fuel subsidy protest, Yoruba youth was shot and killed they carry placard but call Aba boys that attack police coward.

Yoruba BRT drivers were beaten to pulp by few army cadet officers in Lagos but Yorubas will call Aba boys that beat up and Army officer for beaten a preggy lady coward...

Infact Yorubas that will hail Awolowo who committed suicide as a hero but will call who fought a war a coward.

Fulani took over Ilorin from Yorubas and install an emir to rule over the majority Yorubas, but Yorubas will call others coward.

Women of Dahomey Amazan defeated the Oyo empire in a two weeks war and took over some of their kingdoms, Yorubas are calling others coward.

Yoruba case is legendary to be sincere, don't come here telling me how diplomatic your fore fathers were.

A mesmerizing and factual chronicle

The hearing impairment in local military parlance is called "shelling shock". As a result of constant artillery sounds in the battle front. It comes also with psycho disturbances in the sufferers.

He needs urgent medical attention

That's a good development...The soldiers and policemen have been having a field day at Aba and PH killing as they will.
One way or the other, justice will come to those that were denied of it

Should any logical person be jumping up over this promise? I don't think. It's only a claptrap that will "cry" over a promise made by the very people who brought the destruction in the first place. Can't you insist on taking control of your thing? By so doing you'll best take care of your evironment cos that's where you live.

Well, who actually wrote the nonsense? You may never know. That's the deception called Nigeria...Where almost everyone is a thief!

[size=18pt]Murtala Mohammed mowed down our people simply because we were Igbos, using one Yoruba recruit to give the execution order.

So how come today we are suddenly Yorubas or Hausa




Watch the documentary below and see what hausa and Yoruba did to Asaba people on October 7th, 1967 , simply for being Igbo!

Good question...How come the people suddenly have become Yoruba, Hausa or even Benin when their fathers and uncles were summarily executed for being Igbos?

zendy:
Oliseh ( which is how Delta Igbos pronounce 'Olisah' meaning God)[b] introduced him self as "Sunday Ogochukwu Oliseh" then immediately said " and if you are Igbo, I am not Igbo" after which he laughed.

Am I the only one who could see that the man was just joking and never denied being Igbo?

Another thing that amuses me is the way some Urohbos, Itshekiris, Isokos and even some Yorubas vehemently agree that Delta-Igbos are not Igbos but behind the back of the Delta-Igbo Man they will say "look at that Igbo man".

At the bolded, I had the same impression when i first saw the clip. But the issue of identity in the western Igbo is such an emotional one that Oliseh should have known it was no longer funny. He's got a new prominent job, and there will be many more opportunities to clarify his position on this matter. And he need to do it.

rudebouy:
Am curious becos of how the igbos are crying abt being marginalized. So I began to ask myself: If an Akwa Ibom man is appointed as the DG of NAFDAC or the Minister of Health today, how does dat benefit me as an Akwa Ibomite and how does dat benefit the Akwa Ibom ppl as a whole?

I wd rily appreciate sensible responses pls.

Tankio.

Cognitive bias. You would have made more sense if you had not singled the Igbo out. Did i not read about the several trips made by the Yoruba leaders to Abuja... to GEJ for the same reason? Even the Hausa/Fulani....

Guy, you and I know that some troublemakers on both sides may still disagree with/reject the verdict of the report, citing bias or whatever (regardless of who it favours). That's why I made that suggestion coz I foresee more bloodshed.

Well, there needs to be civility and the rule of law.

What's the best time to start learning?

Now or tomorrow? - Cos there's gonna be more of this type of issues tomorrow

Flyoruboy:
Can't both states kukuma agree to share proceeds from the wells 50/50 ? ? Abi why the needless killing? On top wetin?

Such does send the wrong signals that once you take up violence all is good.

It is good to hear from the NBC. The co-ordinates of this terriory is with the NBC.

In 1967, Igala people stood as witnesses for the Igga community of Enugu, backing them to claim ownership this terriory, they were roundly defeated.

Then, 46 years after, they've now turned from being witnesses to owners.

Black people are just so stu.pid!

DOWN MEMORY LANE, HARD FACTS


EXCERPTS OF THE PRESS BRIEFING BY HRH EZE C.N. IDIGO IV, (OGALAGIDI, EZE AGULERI), WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 19, 2012,@ ISABANKA (THE ROYAL PALACE), AMAEZE, AGULERI.

The historical Commissioning of the Orient Petroleum Resources Plc / Anambra River Oil Wells at Aguleri-Otu, Aguleri, on August 30, 2012 by the President and the proclamation of Anambra State as an Oil-Producing State in Nigeria, has unexpectedly awakened the ‘Oil Producing appetite’ of Anambra neighboring States of Kogi and Enugu. Both states are now separately jostling and laying claims to the ownership of these Oil Wells which are indisputably located in Aguleri land. As if the spurious claims by the governments of Kogi and Enugu States were not enough, a few days ago, some youths of Kogi State embarked on a protest march, just as some youths of Enugu State had earlier threatened to stop the Orient Petroleum project, all in their effort to buttress their claims.

Ordinarily, Aguleri Community would have allowed the State Governments to sort out themselves believing, that the extant boundaries between the three States, namely: Anambra and Kogi States on one part; and Anambra and Enugu States on the other hand, are properly delineated. As a people known for always standing on the path of truth, honour and justice, Aguleri would always fight back whenever our liberty is threatened or our land is encroached upon. More importantly, we acknowledge the need to straighten the records and allay further misinformation on the matter, for the Nigerian public, and the world at large. We therefore present the historical as well as legal facts on this matter with the view to settling this contest on the rightful ownership of the Anambra River Oil Wells (OPL 915). Having said as much, the fact remains that the Orient Petroleum Resources Plc’s Anambra River Oil Wells – Anambra River 1, 2 and 3 in OPL 915 are located in Aguleri land precisely, Aguleri-Otu, the north-eastermost riverine settlement of Aguleri.

It is a historical fact that Aguleri occupies the longest stretch of settlement along Anambra River – starting from Otuocha Aguleri to Inalo River at the border of Kogi State. Aguleri People live on both sides of Anambra River from Otuocha Aguleri up to Igbakwu Town in Ayamelum LGA on the east bank of Anambra River. Igbakwu Town itself is opposite Enugu-Otu Aguleri on the west bank of Anambra River. From Igbakwu Town northwards is Ifite-Ogwari, followed by Umueje, all in Ayamelum LGA and thereafter Igga and Ojor towns , then to Ogurugu, all in Enugu State. Clearly from Igbakwu, Anambra River has been the natural boundary between Aguleri and all the other towns on the east bank of Anambra River up to Ogurugu in Enugu State. It is also a historical fact that none of the communities on the east bank of Anambra River from Igbakwu to Ogurugu has farm lands on the west bank of Anambra River, and this is as expected, as Aguleri occupies the entire west bank of Anambra River up to Inalo River at the border of Kogi State. Aguleri people have been living in the locations of the Oil Wells known as Agu-Igbili, Agu-Ovo/Okpalia, Ngene-Ejo, Okpa-Nkwocha and Nnobi Aguleri right from time immemorial and have engaged in farming and fishing in these locations from historical times to date.

Historically, Odeke, the Headquarters of Ibaji Clan in Igala land of Kogi State trace their origin to Aguleri and because of this ancestral connection, they lived very close to Aguleri and shared common boundaries with Aguleri. At cultural fiestas, where successful men usually have the opportunity to display their bravado or prowess for instance, it was commonplace to hear popular slogans and shouts of Odeke Agulu..ue! Odeke Agulu kwenu!! Settlements such as Uchuchu Anocha, Uchuchu Anapiti, Echonwa, Obale, etc are all farm settlements of Odeke people. Before the advent of Colonial Administration, we lived together as a people of common stock. However, with the regionalisation of Nigeria by the Colonial Government, Odeke, together with its farm settlements were placed in Northern Nigeria as part of Idah Division.

GOVERNMENT ADIMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS
Given the topography of the entire West Bank of Anambra River basin, which presently consists of Anambra West LGA and Aguleri-Otu in Anambra East LGA, the lands were acquired by the Government to establish the Anambra Forest Reserve in 1931. Consequent upon this Government action, an Agreement dated 28th April 1931, made in that behalf, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 (ii) of Cap. 95 of the Forestry Ordinance 1931. The communities that entered into the Agreement with the Government were eight ( – namely: Nzam, Inoma, Nnani, Obodolu, Mmiata, Umuoba, Enugu-Otu and Oroma-Otu (now Eziagulu-Otu) Aguleri – all in the present day Anambra State. Another Agreement was made in that behalf on 12th Day of February 1932, also by the same eight ( communities aforesaid. The Forestry Ordinance was published in Nigeria Gazette N0. 20 Vol. 20; notice N0.316, dated 30th March 1933. An ADO of the then Onitsha Division was appointed the Reserve Settlement Officer, to supervise the Forest Reserve, on behalf of the Government of Eastern Nigeria.
It is also important to note that the Oil Wells under discussion i.e. Anambra River 1,2&3 inside OPL 915 is located within the Anambra Forest Reserve, which is in Aguleri.

BOUNDARIES
The boundary of Anambra Forest Reserve is very clear and unambiguous. Whereas Enugu State communities of Igga, Ojor and Ogurugu are on the Eastern Bank of Anambra River, the Anambra Forest Reserve is on the Western Bank of the river (Anambra River) up to opposite Ogurugu community. So, Anambra River has always been and is still the natural boundary between Enugu State communities and Anambra Forest Reserve.
Earlier in 1927, the boundary between Aguleri and Kogi State was settled through an Arbitration jointly chaired by Captain Joel and Mr Macabe, both Assistant Divisional Officers representing the then Onitsha Division and the then Idah Division respectively. HRH Eze R. A. Idigo II represented Aguleri, while Chief Ocholo of Olu Ibaji represented the Ibaji Clan. At the end of the sittings, the Arbitrators adopted the boundary lines as represented in the Map of Nigeria in 1927 as the boundary between Aguleri and Ibaji land in the present Kogi State. It is instructive to note that far back in 1927, the official Map of Nigeria recognized the Anambra Forest Reserve as part of Eastern Nigeria. And so, as the Chairman of the Orient Petroleum Resources Plc, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, said, the “misconception that the Oil Well was not entirely in Anambra State has been resolved through the Map of Nigeria”
The boundaries are also contained in Anambra Forestry Reserve (Amendment) Order, 1950, and Legal Notice N0. 126 of 1954; the Northern Region, Western Region and Eastern Region (Definition of Boundaries), 1954 Appendix ’B’ and ‘E’.
It is also pertinent to mention here that the Tripartite Point of intersection at the mouth of Inalo River which is the boundary between Kogi and Anambra State is quite far away and clearly long after the Anambra Oil Wells location.

ACTS OF OWNERSHIP AND POSSESSION
All the settlements and people in possession before the establishment of Anambra Forest Reserve were named after the Aguleri people who were in possession, which explains why till date what you have are such enclaves as Oguejiofor’s Enclave, Chizua’s Enclave, Menkiti’s Enclave, etc; reflecting the founders of these settlements. Also, the fishing ponds scattered all over the entire land are owned by Aguleri people and they fish in them till date.
Other acts of ownership include the establishment of Migrant School at Okpeze which is well beyond the location of the Oil Wells by the Anambra State Government, to serve the primary education needs of the people. For long, a number of church groups have been established in the area. They include St. Philip’s Anglican Church of Anambra/Niger West Diocese, the Catholic Church of Onitsha Archdiocese Outstation Parish, just as a number of Pentecostal Churches are also located in the area. For the pagan community, their ‘Aro’ deity is prominently located there. Above all, the Forest Quarters built for the Forest Reserve Staff by the Eastern Nigeria Government, now maintained by the Anambra State Government is at the heart of the Settlement.
For all Federal Elections in Nigeria, INEC Polling Booth located at Ngene Ejo which is part of the Anambra Forerst Reserve, administered by Anambra Office of the Commission, supervised the conduct of such elections for Aguleri people living in the area.
It is also pertinent to mention briefly that Royalties accruing from the products of the Anambra Forest Reserve have continued to be paid as agreed by the people of Aguleri and the then Governor of Nigeria, Sir Thompson, in 1932. Till date, Aguleri Community have been collecting the said Royalties from the Forestry Department.

COURT RULING
In 1967, the Igga Community of Enugu State brought an action against SAFRAP Nigeria Limited – an Oil Company & 2 others; and Chief A.E.Idigo & 3 Others (For and on behalf of the people of Aguleri), claiming, among other things, a declaration of title to the land and an injunction restraining the aforesaid company and the people of Aguleri from committing further acts of trespass and waste of economic trees and crops on the land in question. The Igga Community, being Plaintiffs in the suit filed a Motion of Discontinuance, after they had finished their evidence and Aguleri Community opened their defence. In the Court’s Ruling, their application was refused. The case dragged on from 1967 to 1973 and all subsequent appeals made by the same community were similarly refused. This means, as per the Court Order, that the Igga Community cannot bring any action on this matter again in any Court of competent jurisdiction – per res judicata. The implication of that Ruling is that the Igga community has been estopped and cannot go to Court over the radical title or ownership to Anambra Forest Reserve. See the case of Chief Fabian Ukuta v. SAFRAP (Nigeria) Limited & 2 Ors and Chief A.E.Idigo & 3 Ors – Suit No. E/50/67.
It is also instructive to note that some Odeke indigenes of Kogi State testified as witnesses in this suit in favour of Igga Community, supporting the claim that the disputed land belonged to Igga Community. Is not a contradiction that today, same Kogi people are claiming ownership of the said land? Also, Kogi people never came against SAFRAP Nigeria Ltd or Elf when the two companies were prospecting for Oil in the area.

CONCLUSION
The Igga Community of Enugu State knows that they have no title to the Anambra Forest Reserve, and so have no claim to make on the land. They came in 1967 and demanded compensation from SAFRAP (Nigeria) Limited, which ended in Court, and they lost out. Similarly, in 1984, when Elf Nigeria Limited came for the Oil wells, they quickly demanded compensation, but could not succeed. Now that Orient Petroleum Resources has taken a bold step to commence operations, Igga Community has come again, but, as in the past, they are bound to fail, as they neither have any title to the aforementioned Anambra Oil Wells nor any further claim to make, having been estopped by a Court of competent jurisdiction. In fact, their case was at best considered not only as misconceived or mala fide.
For the people of Kogi State, the combined effect of the Arbitration of 1927, the Legal Notice N0. 126 of 1954 - the Northern Region, Western Region and Eastern Region (Definition of Boundaries), 1954; the Forestry Reserve (Amendment) Order, 1950, which clearly defined the Anambra Forest Reserve as part of Eastern Nigeria (now Anambra State) and the various unchallenged acts of ownership by the Governments of Eastern Nigeria/Anambra State; and the fact that the people of Aguleri have remained in possession of the said land from time immemorial unchallenged, have effectively estopped the people of Kogi State from any claim to the land. From all indication, Kogi people, like the Igga people of Enugu State, will also fail in their claim of Anambra Oil Wells at Aguleri-Otu.
Finally, from the foregoing, it is true and clearly established beyond any reasonable doubt that the Anambra Forest Reserve has the usufractuary title over the land in question, and can use the land at its pleasure and can permit


whosoever it pleases to fish, farm, and hunt or even cut produce of the forest. This is in accordance with the principle of alienation of land; but the position of the true owners enures, remains untouchable, indispensable and superior to any other title.
In conclusion, the people of Aguleri are the true owners of the land in question – that is – the Orient Petroleum Resources Oil Wells, otherwise known as Anambra River Oil Wells.
Thanks and God bless you all.

EdCure:
Jonathan refused to release the NBC report because he didn't want to disappoint those who were the "backbone" of his administration. He supported criminality of all forms.
It is very obvious who owns the land.

It is the other way round. He needed Kogi badly to shore up his middle belt column. And Igala being the largest ethnic group in Kogi, GEJ didn't want to rattle them with the NBC decision. The case is clear. The disputed territory falls under the 'Anambra forest reserve' in the old Eastern region. The territory does not fall into the old Kabba province. There are heaps of court rulings to back it up.

Serious. What is undisputed about this issue is that the oil wells, including the facilities, are 22 kilometers inside Anambra state.

The Niigeria boundary commission should have completed the demarcation by now and save the unneccessary blood letting.

Why the foot dragging? The truth will hurt some people in Kogi but it's better said than the current dangerous silence.

Please, does anyone know if the banks still do Western Union transfers (to the US and Europe) under the current circumstances?

Thanks

Even though Buhari described you people as 'baboons and monkeys', there is every reason to also agree with Radio Biafra that Nigeria is a 'zoo'.

It continues to manifest everyday!

Buhari the sole administrator of Nigeria. What a country?

bayooooooo:
Well, the real issue is not what Sunday Oliseh calls himself(I think he is in a best position to know who he is ) but what others perceive him to be. I think most non-Ika-speaking people would, on first instinct, call him Igbo. I have always thought He's Igbo but I can now see I was clearly wrong. I guess most Nigerians from the North, on first instinct, would categorize such names as Omatseye, Omatsola, Omawunmi, Omajuwa, Omagbemi, Oritsemeyiwa, Oritsemodupe, Oritsejafor, etc as Yoruba. It's only people from part of the South who understand the nuances that can actually differentiate and thus properly categorize the names as Itsekiri.

It's a bit difficult for me to call someone who bears Ogochukwu, something other than Igbo. Based on this stereotype, he would have benefited from being perceived to be Igbo but also suffered from similar perception in some circumstances. That may explain while some, who are not as bold as Sunday oliseh, present different faces to different people. When they thought their perceived Igboness would be helpful, they claimed Igbo. Otherwise, they claimed something different.

The real problem lies with people who treat them based on what they perceived them to be without giving them a chance to define themselves. Thus a man could be favored or punished for who he is not. That's the problem of double identity and part of Nigeria's complexities.

In this Small-Big intra-linguistic identity schism, the more successful the larger group becomes, the less the likelihood it claims the smaller one but paradoxically, the more the smaller one craves to be identified with the bigger group. The identity crisis is thus, in a way, a product of brand management. Since they can choose to be either A or B, it comes down to just one question: Do I gain or lose more by being seen as A or B?

Human beings are simply deceptive political animals. Gen. Godwin Alabi Isama was captured by Biafran Forces and was facing execution when he told them he was Igbo from Aboh, in the present Delta state. There and then, he was set free. He later sneeked back to the Nigerian side. Then, one thing led to the other, he was again arrested and thrown into prison by the Nigerian side on charges related to sabotage. The Nigerian army was not convinced he was loyal.
This is what happens when people are not true to themselves.

I bet you if the current situation surrounding Sunday's job was the one that being a proud Igbo would facilitate, Sunday wouldn't waste any time to embrace his Igbo ancestry. He is just one of the types.

How time changes. A once no-nonsense dictator of old has suddenly found himself grappling with the norms of a new world order he has little or no control over, in what used to be his fiefdom.

omonnakoda:
Very churlish thing to say "drop our names" The reality is that many groups that call themselves Igbo today never did so before Nigeria was created to the question of ownership of language or names is silly. What about names like Peter and Paul and Marinus that Ibos use everywhere. We speak English and use it on this website does that make us English? This desire to bully and intimidate minorities should be eschewed. He said he is NOT IBO and that is the end of it

If Sunday chose not to be identified with his native language, it's exclusive to him, not an ancient phenomenon. There are families in Abavo that will frown at him for that. I still remember a family member of the then Biafran Chief of Naval staff, Late Admiral Anukwu from Abavo. She once championed the Igbo union where i reside.

This is just a personal opinion of Sunday.

CHM11:
True.
But in some situations, especially with minorities, a clan is the tribe. In ika land, do u know there are subclans?

By Igboland and Yorubaland you mean? Would you classify the yorubalike speaking itsekiris under yoruba land? Or the Yorubalike speaking akoko edos under yorubaland?
Do you know there are yorubalike tribes in togo, Benin even as far as serria-leone? These people refuse to be called yorubas explicitly...you hear names like esan, akokoedo, afemai, itsekiri, fon, ewe etc...that's their tribe, not yoruba.

As regards the ika people, I am not ika so I can't speak for them, but if Sunday Oliseh's view is carried by many of his kinsmen, then they are Ika, their language might sound igbotic but its IKA language as they have called it, not igbo.

If they can't call your anambra pure igbo as Ika or ukwanni, then you shouldn't be at liberty to call their own Ika language as igbo.

I understand your point tho.
Me I just wish we should learn to live and let live.

At the bolded, unfortunately since after the civil war, the Ikas and Ukwuanis amongst the four segments of native Igbo speakers in Delta state are divided on whether they'd identified with what they actually speak. The other two, Oshimmili and Aniocha do not have much of this problem. Sunday is free to choose whether he'd like to be identified with his language or not, but that doesn't negate the fact that others from Abavo and the rest do not identify as Igbos. If Sunday Oliseh goes to Onitsha market he will not need an interpreter to make his bargains in Igbo language. What he'll speak will be mutually intelligle to the people. Therefore, , there is nothing like their language sounding Igbotic., It is IGBO and nothing more. How he chooses to be identified notwithstanding!

His town was mentioned as one of the ancient Nri outpostshttp://logbaby.com/encyclopedia/history-of-nri-kingd_15828.html#.Vb6JV_ntmko

Should this be a news at all? Must any fraudster be giving media attention?

Interesting, what is new here, please?

carnegiefan:
That is why the radio is just addictive. It is also why "they" desperately want it off the air!

I even heard from reliable sources that listeners to NBC Enugu broadcast this morning was shocked that Radio Biafra was suppressing NBC Enugu broadcast. I will still find out more

adebisicutie:
Wale Tinubu must also be Ndigbo

If someone's set out to execute a wicked act, he'll also plan for covering collaterals, if u know what i mean.

Wale was just one of the few collaterals

The benefits of listening to the fiery broadcaster, Mr. Kanu, far out weighs any other negatives. The guy simply speaks truth to power!

I have beeen glued to his programme ever since Buhari added more power and popularity to this radio.

Pictured below are gallant female soldiers who fought to keep Nigeria one during the civil war.

They are pictured here chatting with civil war veteran, and former Principal General Staff Officer of the Nigerian Army and Chief of Staff of 3 Marine Commando (3MCDO) during the civil war, Brigadier General Alabi-Isama.

As a Nigerian federal soldier, General Alabi Isama was captured by the Biafran army and was showed mercy. He was re-kitted and recruited into the Biafran army instead of being killed; his most likely fate if he had been identified as a ‘northern’ soldier was death. He later deserted the Biafran Army and rejoined the federal side, after which he was jailed at Kirikiri maximum prison for suspicious treasonable activities. The imprisonment also turned out to be a saving grace as he could have lost his life along with several Nigerian troops who perished while attempting to cross Asaba River under the command of Murtala Mohammed 2nd Division during the war. The Biafran troups were commanded by Gen. Joseph "Hannibal" Achuzia, leader of the dreaded Biafran 3rd Marine Commandos.

Therefore, Alabi Isama is alive today due to the mercies of Biafran Officers. A respect he still habours in him till tomorrow.

Interesting. That said, the political and economic interest of the region in the long term weren't mentioned.

Resource control, Confab report?

Piece-meal approach is not the best way cos 5 years down the line, you're still complaining of the same thing. Wake up gentlemen.
