Well since you seem to be quoting history. It might interest you to know that Scotland signed the 1707 Act Of Union that brought the kingdoms of Scotland, England and Wales together as the United Kingdom.

So at least Scotlabd agreed to be part of them

The Igbo nation never agreed to be part of any union of Nigeria. Like most ethic groups, we were forced into an illegal colonial contraption called Nigeria against our will.

This why it is not necessary for us to do what Scotland did.

The basis of us asking the Nigerian state for a referendum is that we never gave our consent to be part of Nigeria in the first place and we now wish to formally withdraw from the British colonial arrangement called Nigeria which we were unfortunate to find ourselves in

You IPOB members are a pathetic bunch. Since you are saying you didn't sign any agreement to be part of Nigeria, why did your forefathers fight for the independence of Nigeria, instead of that of Biafra from our colonial masters? Wasn't Azikiwe the first president of Nigeria? Why didn't he fought for the independence of Biafra from the British?Or did IPOB told you guys that Azikiwe was a Fulani man too?

KEVIND:
A Referendum will determine whether SOUTH SOUTH is for Biafra or not. No true son of S/S is happy with the way our resources is deployed to developed other regions while we wallow in poverty and degradation. We'll support Biafra to get our land back from the evil occupants and negotiate with our southeast brothers on how to co-own our country called Biafra (CONFEDERATION)

You Easterners better keep your Biafra to Igbo land. If a referendum will ever be conducted in Niger Delta, it will be in the Igbo-speaking part of the Niger Delta. The other tribes of the South South region have warned you Igbo's to stay off their lands. Abi dem tell Una say Niger Delta nor go fit go form their own country too. Before Biafra, there was a Niger Delta Republic.

Okuda:
Dey there make pat dey wear you. [b]SS is full Biafra land. [/b]Go and read up on the bight of Biafra. your ignorance should not consume you.

You people should stop deceiving yourselves at the East. The South South is not part of Biafra. Just like you Easterners don't want to be part of Nigeria, the Niger Delta also don't want to be part of Biafra. What's so hard in understanding that. You guys should not make the same costly mistake that your fathers made in 1967. You Easterners should know that before Biafra, there was a Niger Delta republic.

ritababe:
he is a bigger coward than ojukwu, can you imagine? after making mouth of how you will bring the country down, only 24 hours exercise he has disappeared like a ghost.

Chai, you are wicked babe. This is savagery of this highest order. So the Supreme Leader cannot even survive an ordinary military training exercise for 24 hours. How then was he planning to burn down the zoo? Abi Queen Daeneryls, the mother of dragons, promise IPOBs her dragons too.

letusbepieces:
Trash,

Igbos are not Lazy, we cannot mortgage Igbo land becos of our brothers shortsightedness to leave their region and invest outside in other regions where their investment are no guaranteed.

How many Hausa or Yoruba have invested in Igboland.

Did dey not learn from the example in their backyard here in Rivers, if not let them pay the price again in hope that they have finally learnt.

In every movement their are leaders, in Biafra Igbo are leaders and we must lead the SS and indeed the middlebelt parts out of Nigeria.

As for international dimension, Nigeria was not created by Nigerians but by Internationalist.

IPOB have gone far in mobilizing the international community for the actualization of Biafra.

Igbo leaders must not constitute a stumbling block, becos posterity will never forgive them.

Let us go and develop our land. No more excuses!

The South South and Middlebelt have warned you guys to stay off their lands. The Easterners are predominantly traders..How do you expect Biafra to survive without access to the sea? That's economic suicide. Better start putting on your thinking cap now. Biafra with the 5 South Eastern states will not be able to fend for herself. Get that into your brain.

HiddenShadow:
illiteracy is not knowing that Eastern Consultative Assembly was made of all tribes who endorsed the creation of Biafra.

Didn't recall Azikiwe fighting for the independence of Biafra from the British? Is that what IPOB is teaching you guys? We in the Zoo remember that Azikiwe actively fought for the independence of Nigeria, not Biafra. Maybe IPOB also told you guys that Azikiwe is a Fulani man.

attackgat:
The military can be deployed to aid the police in a situation such as protest and civil unrest

But in Abia state, there was no protest or civil unrest

You are right bro. Let's focus on the positives of the Operation Python Dance. We now know that IPOB don't have the capacity to burn down the ZOO. I like the fact that the conversation has changed from threats normally issued by the SUPREME LEADER to the ZOO to IPOB shamelessly begging for help all over the place when the real python dance is yet to begin. PMB just remove the invincibility of IPOB with Operation Python Dance. At least, the group can no longer issue threats to their fellow country men that reside in the parts of the country labelled ZOO by IPOBs. BTW, IPOB status changed when they set up BSS and BNG. Nigeria cannot wait for the group to be armed or to take millions of lives first before doing something about IPOB. We have to nip IPOB at the bud before it grows into a deadly monster that can consume all of us.

HiddenShadow:
Stop talking like an illiterate


Answer the simple question


1) When did God tell you that Igbo land is his gift to One Nigeria

2) Did Lugard consult us before merging us to One Nigeria


Tomorrow you wonder why God place the Igbos above you guys in all fields of life


Don't mock God if you don't want to perish




Finally conduct a Referendum to know the mind of most Igbos

Is Azikiwe a Fulani man?
Why dd Azikiwe not fight for the Independence of Biafra instead of the Nigeria from the British?
Did you consult the tribes in the Niger Delta region before adding their lands to the Biafra map?

dosantos:
please I want to know the URHOBO that say no.or may u that is Yoruba that say no.the Urhobo man is very wise.he may pretend to stand aside but he knew what he want is Biafra.

You are right. The Urhobo man is very wise. He knows Biafra is not his dream but that of the Igbos. That's why the Urhobos fought so hard during the civil war to prevent the Igbos from forcing their Biafra dream on them. The Urhobos know where to go if everyone in Nigeria decides to go their separate ways. And that will be Niger Delta Republic. The Urhobos wish the Igbos good luck with their Biafra.

Annabelkelvin:
Hussa Muslims dey tell yoruba Muslims say them be fake too.... So racism is everywhere is world wide even sometimes you jokingly tell your babe that she's fake abi I lie??

I thank God say you nor deny say core Igbos dey c Aniomas as fake Igbos. Hausa and Yoruba nor be the same tribe? So no basis for the comparison. We Christians dey descriminate too against each other too.

Annabelkelvin:
Delta
EDO
Calarba
Akwa ibom etc... We support biafra

We will knw whether Edo, Delta, Calabar, and Akwa Ibom truly support you when war you IPOBs are clamouring for start. Let them be brainwashing you people in the East. Kanu knw say na Biafra be Una mumu button na n e dey use am well. Good luck with setting the East on fire.

SBG04:
Typical of the igbos. When it's not convenient for you deny anybody. When it's not you claim them. When Kachukwu was made Minister of state for Petroleume, igbos denied him and said he was delta igbo and not real igbo, Buhari was marginalizing them. Now Delta igbos are igbos because of biafra? Fraud like you!

Na so dem dey do o. I start to dey fear Igbos when I go serve for East. My best friend na Anioma guy. Na every time dem dey remind the guy say e nor b real Igbo o. I come dey wonder wetin b d difference between real Igbo and fake Igbo. Imagine Ugochukwu from Anambra dey tell another Ugochukwu from Delta say e b fake Igbo. Igbos dey discriminate die o!

Annabelkelvin:
No mind all this people claiming South South but residing in Lagos and Ghana lol... this is a fake news am from warri tompolo ayiri and Dokubo-Asari has given us go ahead that once we the whistle of war.. We should sweep out all the hussa in the south south region... So ignore all this fake news we support Igbos 100% here there are good people

Keep deceiving yourself. You Easterners never learn from history. Don't worry, you guys should go and start a war and be waiting for the South South minorities to come and fight for you. You will just make the same mistake your fathers made. As for Asari, ready a battalion for him to command. That's the best he can do for you. BTW, did you see the latest video of Asari?

Alexis11:
Lol..... Sometimes when I see some IPOBs giving themselves hope about SS here I just smile


It is hard to see a tribe in the South South that truly love the Igbos..... #Fact



Jonathan election in 2015 seems to be the major thing that brought them together. #reality

You spoke the exact truth. I am yet to see a non-igbo speaking tribe in the South South that truly like the Igbos. They should know by now. Asari is just deceiving them. The average Ijaw man does not like the average Igbo man. Funny enough they are banking on people that do want anything to do with them to join them in the fight for Biafra. These IPOB members are really delusional. Asari will just be another Victor Banjo for them. IPOBs better prepare a battalion for Asari to command.

reality1010:
Do u know that Abia state was peaceful before the military came with their show of force? Why dont u condemn the military for their evil in the state.First they started by destroying NUJ Abia Chapter office and all their equipment so as to intimidate the journalists from capturing their atrocities and they went on destroying innocent people.Ask the military not a single person was found with weapon unlike what obtains in the North and West were different groups carry weapons.Pls be proud to condemn evil so that God will protect u and ur families.

So because the military came to Abia state to do show of force justifies the fact that IPOB members should be looking for innocent Hausa/Fulani's to kill abi? Is it only Hausa/Fulani that is in the military? Are there no Igbo's, Yoruba's, Efiks, Ibiobios Ijaws, Urhobos, and other tribes in the military? What you guys at Aba don't know is that you are endangering the lives of your brothers in other places. Igbos are in every nook and cranny in this country. You can't compare the number of Hausa's in the Igbo land to the number of Igbo's in Hausa land. You guys better use your head.

Alariwo2:
She's actually right..

I understand how it feels seeing your kinsmen get killed for avoidable reasons.

What baffles me is how some of you Ipobs care less about the welfare of your brothers up North. That's quite sickening

Bro, you are spot. It still baffles me how someone in Aba will trigger a crises that will consume thousands of his brothers up North without batting an eyelid. If Igbo land was flowing with milk and honey, will their Igbo brothers go to the North to look for their daily bread in the first place? How will they want them to survive if they return to the East? They think it is easy to start all over again.

tsdarkside:
ohh my...but i know it was here on politics section.

you have to search back some days ago...

Ok.

tsdarkside:
the news was on nairaland....

I can't seem to find the story. Can you help me with the link? Thanks.

tsdarkside:
yes they did..and our vigilante groups catched them and delivered them over to the police and army...
they killed a okada driver....they were immediately shot in the legs..

didnt you read the story...??

Did some IPOB members really kill an aboki in Warri? Please where did it happen in Warri?

Dede1:
Please remind the goons who thought that self denial brings acceptability. The influential political movers in northern region of Nigeria would want to see all the lappers from the so-called Niger Delta as beggars and house keepers.

And you think the Niger Delta will fair better when they join Biafra? The enemies of the Niger Delta are the Hausa's, the Yoruba's, and the Igbos. The three main ethnic groups are the problem of the region. The Igbos will not use the South South minorities as pawns because they have lost out in federal politics. You Easterners didn't treat the South South minorities better when we were with you guys in the Old Eastern region. Don't come here to pretend that you have our interests at heart now all because you are no longer invited to the party at the national level again

Dede1:
[b]Why would he not fight on Nigerians side when Gowon freed him from prison and encouraged him to join Nigerian side? I guess you hear what makes you happy in your jealous hatred for Igbo.

The only fishery industry which ought to be situated in a properly riverine Ijaw area is sited about 80 miles inland at Aba, the boatyard at Opobo had its headquarters at Enugu. Personnel in these industries and also in the oil stations are predominantly non-Ijaw but more of the Igbo’s from Eastern Nigeria.

The lamentations of Boro and other prominent Ijaw leaders like Chief Harold Dappa Biriye lead to the agitation for the creation of a Niger Delta State and formation of the Niger Delta Congress. But Igbo-dominated National Council of Nigerian Citizens (NCNC) which ruled the East was not interested in the creation of Niger Delta State for obvious reasons.[b]

I believe the bolded will giive you a clue on who really marginalized the Ijaws. Like I said, you guys cannot twist the facts.

Dede1:
Boro declared independence from Nigeria not eastern region. Whatever political misunderstanding Boro tabled was against Nigeria not eastern region. In addition, Boro was dealt by forces owned and controlled by Nigeria. You do not need to flaunt your ignorance on the public domain such as Nairaland.

Boro decided to secede because the 3 major ethnic groups, especially a certain ethnic group that constituted the majority in the old Eastern region, was marginalizing the Ijaws. Boro had issues with the Igbo's that were majority in the old Eastern region; that's why he was very happy that the Ijaws was free from the Ithe domination of Igbos when Rivers state was created. If he had issues with Nigeria, why did he fight on the side of Nigeria against Biafra? You guys should stop twisting facts here.

By Hart RexLawson Atemie

Before Biafra, there was the Niger Delta Republic led by Isaac Adaka Jasper Boro. Boro was one of the early people who began the struggle for the emancipation of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. He challenged the exploitation and deprivation of the region as the resources were being channeled to develop other regions of the country.

It was the culmination of the injustice, political frustration and suffocation that the Ijaw and other Niger Delta people suffered in an independent Nigeria. As a bubbling, brilliant young secondary school leaver, Boro, after a three-month stint as a teacher, joined the Nigeria Police as a cadet in 1958 with a lot of fire in him to bring about change. But he received a shock when he found that he was alone in a police force that was already corrupt and was subsequently dismissed due to ill luck, maybe, the call of destiny. Heartbroken, he dusted up his certificate and went to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, where he suffered various degrees of injustice as a student politician. He came to the realization that the Ijaw were heading for extinction if the tide of the national politics being controlled by the big three (Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo) did not change.
Boro and other Ijaw students watched with bewilderment as the Ijaw politicians failed to break into the top echelons of Nigerian and regional politics controlled by the easterners. Boro was provoked how Year after year, the Ijaws were clenched in tyrannical chains and led through a dark alley of perpetual political and social deprivation. Strangers in our own country! Inevitably, therefore, the day would have to come for us to fight for our long-denied right to self-determination.
Boro lamented the exclusion and alienation from power, How the Ijaw withered in bitterness and regret. For a then estimated two million people, he was angered there were no adequate educational opportunities, no infrastructure, no empowerment, no openings. The only fishery industry which ought to be situated in a properly riverine Ijaw area is sited about 80 miles inland at Aba, the boatyard at Opobo had its headquarters at Enugu. Personnel in these industries and also in the oil stations are predominantly non-Ijaw but more of the Igbo’s from Eastern Nigeria.

The lamentations of Boro and other prominent Ijaw leaders like Chief Harold Dappa Biriye lead to the agitation for the creation of a Niger Delta State and formation of the Niger Delta Congress. But Igbo-dominated National Council of Nigerian Citizens (NCNC) which ruled the East was not interested in the creation of Niger Delta State for obvious reasons.

Niger Delta congress (NDC) could not do much as out of the nine representatives of the area, eight were from NCNC. And in the Eastern Region House of Assembly, the Niger Delta had only 5 against 110 other representatives. In the Midwestern House of Assembly, Niger Delta had 2 representatives against 58 others. “Given these prevailing circumstances,” lamented Boro…..“an Ijaw nationalist finds that a state for his people is more of a necessity than a mere desire, Such a demand becomes all the more compelling when the area is so viable yet people are blatantly denied development and the common necessities of life.”

In October 1962, Boro, then an undergraduate of UNN, began the movement that would, in 1966, start the violent campaign to end the marginalization of the Niger Delta which he tagged “to discuss the political future of our people”. They became known as the Internal Caucus. Boro was elected the secretary-general. “Our primary objective was to organize ourselves into a strong political force to struggle for our self-determination as soon as we graduated,” Boro explained.

In 1963, Boro and his Internal Caucus took their campaign to the embassies of some countries whom they considered advocates of freedom. They did not get the desired support. In 1964, Boro and Samuel Owonaru, later to be his second in command in DVS, toured West African countries to conscientise Ijaws living in the West Coast about the plight of the their people in independent Nigeria. They visited Dahomey (Benin Republic), Togo and Ghana. In Ghana, they visited the Cuban Embassy where they hoped that Fidel Castro’s country would be keen to support the freedom of Ijaws. The ambassador gave them 60 minutes to vacate the embassy.

After graduation, Boro was employed as a technical officer in the Faculty of Science, University of Lagos. Again he, Owonaru and other youths formed Integral WXYZ “to prepare the minds of the Ijaw youths for the ripe moment”.

That ripe moment was the killing of Balewa on January 15, 1966. He resigned his job, cashed his emoluments, sold his property and with £150, returned to Kaiama, his hometown, set up camp at the Taylor Creek and began recruitment.

“Today is a great day, not only in your lives, but also in the history of the Niger Delta. Perhaps, it will be the greatest day for a very long time. This is not because we are going to bring the heavens down, but because we are going to demonstrate to the world what and how we feel about oppression… Remember your 70-year-old grandmother who still farms before she eats; remember also your poverty-stricken people; remember, too, your petroleum which is being pumped out daily from your veins; and then fight for your freedom.” – Isaac Adaka Jasper Boro.

With these electrifying words, 27-year-old Isaac Adaka Jasper Boro, general officer commanding, the Niger Delta Volunteer Service, DVS, declared an independent Niger Delta Peoples Republic in February 23, 1966, 40 days after the historic January 15 coup. It was 3pm and the three divisions of the DVS, made up of 159 troops, were going into action at 5pm with the objective of dislodging the federal police and taking over Yenagoa at 12 midnight. It was code-named “Operation Zero”.
It marked the beginning of the “12-Day Revolution” during which Boro, an ex-police inspector, former president of Students’ Union Government of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and a fresh graduate of Chemistry, called “the attention of the world to the fact that the inhabitants of the Niger Delta were feeling very uncomfortable” with their fate in Nigeria. That was an understatement for some of the observers of the time.
12 days later, the revolution was foiled by federal superior fire power; the unity of Nigeria was not negotiable. Boro and all his commanders were jailed and condemned to death for treason by General Johnson Thomas Aguiyi Ironsi (From the Igbo extraction) military administration. But fate favored them and General Yakubu Gowon’s government freed them and created Rivers State and Lieutenant Commander Diete Spiff, an Ijaw, was made governor. It was dream come true, the revolution had failed and yet succeeded.

“My men and I, with the creation of our state (Rivers-State), are now free to help not only our people, but also Nigeria, to peace, unity, stability and progress,” - Boro enthused in 1967.

But this was not to be. The civil war started and Boro gladly became a major in the Nigerian Army. During the period leading to the Nigeria/Biafra civil War, Isaac Adaka Jasper Boro had informed and warned the Eastern 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 from the Niger Delta Volunteer Services (DVS) to clear the Niger Delta of Biafran Rebels, Which he successfully did within a record short period.

He was killed on April 20, 1968, near Port Harcourt and that muted the radical voice of the Ijaw Nation. The circumstance surrounding Boro's death is still not clear, Opinions was divided as to the Conspirators. While some alleged that Col. Benjamin Adekunle had a hand, however Roy Tomo-Spiff, who was among Boro's Force that fought against the Biafran Rebels at that time disputes it, claims Boro was ambushed by fleeing BIAFRAN Forces.

When stories are recounted about Nigeria and how the General Ojukwu’s declaration of the Republic of Biafra which led to the 18 months civil war on grounds of deprivation and marginalization of the eastern region, not much is said about the declaration of the first Republic within Nigeria called the “Niger Delta Republic” which also premised on deprivation, alienation and marginalization of Ijaw people. Rather the new agitator, Grand Commander Nnamdi Kanu and cohorts are trying every means possible to cajole the Niger Delta People into another antics for advance colonist theory, the labor of our heroes past shall never be in vain.

God bless u OP. God bless Boro too for fighting against the injustice meted to the Niger Delta in the Old Eastern region. And someone somewhere wants the Niger Delta region to make the same mistake again. We are wiser now. May the soul of Major Isaac Adaka Boro rest in peace.

cstr1000:
First of all, maybe you need to tell me how much the North-east contributes to the fedeeration account, you mindless bigot.
The South east contribute more oil to the federation than the entire north, and yet the north has the the NEDC.
The South-east was supposed to get the SEDC since the 60s but failure of governance made sure it failed.
Besides, i thought you claim want a developed one naijeria? If you think there is any other region as dynamic to faciltate a developed Nigeria than the south-east then you are seriously deluded or high on hate.
A fully developed aba and Nnewi has the capacity to provide serious revenue to the country, but ofcurse, hate will never allow you see it.
The oil in the east in abia and Imo which are part of the current niger-delta however how small, if the revenues are left fully to the east is already more than enough to facilitate the necessary development. And then you can keep your SEDC.
And where did i say the end-game is not biafra? Are you incapable of reading and comprehending?
Don't quote me if you can't read. You want a developed one naijeria and you think that can happen without a fully developed igboland?- keep dreaming.

Ondo state is part of the South West and it has oil too. Going by your logic, they should get a South West Development Commission too.

When Jonathan was in power, why didn't the South East lobby for a development commission then. As well all know the South East was the cornerstone of his government.

The North East does not have oil, but it has been destroyed by war, so the Northern politicians lobbied for North East Development Commission. The current Northern-dominated government supported them and the North East region got it. Why didn't the South East do the same during Jonathan's government?

Can you tell me of any major project the South East politicians brought to the East during Jonathan's tenure? At least, the South East dominated Jonathan's government, so the region should have something to show for it.

I like the fact that you said that the little oil in the East can take care of the region. The Easterners should join the fight for restructuring. That's what you guys at the East should be fighting for.

Odingo1:
But the way I understand their struggle,they are calling for referendum of which any ethnic group in the region can back out by voting no.

Nobody is stoping them from pushing for referendum? IPOBs should go about it the right way. They should stop spreading hate in the country. IPOB cannot curse their way out of Nigeria; they better follow the legal channel to referendum.

PrecisionFx:
I don't care which tribe, village, clan or whatever u claim to be or actually are.
Urobo population is over 3 million Lmfao.
Pls where do they stay Jeez.

Back to the topic, Urobo is not an ethnic group, we don't have more than 3 ethnic groups in Nigeria, every other thing na tribe and pls stop counting kingdoms n clans as tribes in nigeria.

Going by your statement, the Igbos should be classified as a minority tribe too. Because if the Igbos are among the 3 ethnic group in Nigeria, IPOB members will not be calling on the the South South minority tribes for help. Majority wen dey beg minority to come fight e own fight for am that one na majority!

uyiekpenn:
Biafra was a distant idea until Buhari came and breathed life into it.

Nnamdi kanu was an unknown figure until Buhari came and turned him into a patron saint.

The separatist struggle has been a non violent struggle but the blood thirsty Buhari has now introduced violence into it.

Let history record it.

Let it be recorded that Buhari is forcing the people to take up arms and defend themselves..

Let it be recorded that ,as at today ,the people have no guns, and, have not killed anybody in their peaceful struggle.

But let it be known that there is a natural inclination for people to defend themselves especially when they are being gunned down for no reason other than to satisfy Buhari's thirst for blood.

As Chinua Achebe would say, you can not put a burning charcoal in a child's palm and ask him not to react.

I doubt you are truly from Edo State. If you are an Edo boy, you will not type this. You think that the Igbos are different from the Hausas abi. They are even worse sef. This Biafra struggle is just a smokescreen to secure the oil resources in the Niger Delta for themselves. That's why they are fighting for the Niger Delta to support them by all means. All true Niger Deltans should either be calling for restructuring or calling for a Niger Delta republic. Don't think Biafra will be different from Nigeria. Biafra will be Nigeria all over again with the Igbo's talking the place of the Hausa's. Of course, you can guess the fate of the south south tribes in a nation with a majority that is controlling the resources of the minority.

cstr1000:
Eastern leaders need to ensure that they take advantage of the upheaval if they are smart. We may not get biafra but we can something out of all these chaos by taking the following steps:

1)Calm the east down and stop all the acts of civil disobedience against the state of Nigeria.

2)Get the soldiers out of the streets through deliberate consultations.

3) Meet with Nnamdi Kanu and get him to lay low for now.

4) Meet with the political leaders of the north including the senators, governors and the traditional rulers and then promise a sign document that the east will never pursue the restructuring of Nigeria or even Secession again, as long as the following conditions are met.

a)[b] A fully funded South-east developmental commission that will operate forever should be signed into Law, which is a non-negotiable condition .[/b]

b)An agreement with miyetti Allah to advise their members to cease all violence in any part of the south-east in exchange for continued peace and harmony.

c) [b]An Exile for Nnamdi Kanu.[/b]

The north being who they are will grab it with both hands. And that will seal the fate of the south forever, but atleast the east will have gotten something for their troubles.

We need to fight for our interests because it seems only the igbo is dis-satisfied with Nigeria. We can't keep shedding our blood for other ungrateful people to reap the fruits of our labour.
We need to be smart.

So the aim of the agitation was not really secede after all. Thank God you guys are revealing your true aim. And you were planning to drag the Niger Delta region into an agitation that will further only your interest. Now I know why my people say never trust an Igbo man. He will always use you to further his own interest.

BTW, can you tell me why the Igbos should be treated specially by the Nigeria government? How much does the South East as region contribute to the Federation account that they will give the a fully funded South East Development Commission? Are the Igbos the only tribe suffering in Nigeria today?

an0daGuy:
e good say you dey wait

remember the last civil war? for the first week of am ojuku been instruct that him backstabber yolobar sidekick victor banjo make him sharply go overtake una yoruba land but that time him make mistake to trust una broda as par the steady backbiting and backstabbing habits una carry come from the sky when oduduwa jump fall

na the same strategy ipob dem go do, una too weak and cowardly so una go sweet to overrun as soon as the trumpet blow

but ipob nor go wan do una anything oh, only just to tie una keep for house dey wait make the real brave hausa fulani come resume their battle ontop una papa lands dem

you sabi as e dey go nah

You guys don't learn at all. Don't ever make the mistake of invading other regions. That's will be the end of the Igbos. Currently, you guys don't even have the support of all Igbo's, not to talk of other tribes sef. Every other region is trying to be neutral for now. The mistake Ojukwu made was invading the Midwestern region. That turned majority of the tribes in the region against Biafra and that contributed to his failure. You Easterners started this current crisis, so the battlefield will be in the East. You people should not think the crisis will spill to other regions. The North East is a good example for you. If Easterners can be watching DSTV when the North East is burning, that is how other regions will be watching DSTV too when the East is burning too. Goodluck with setting the East on fire.

linusbnn:
Na once person dey die. It will get to the point when every of the civilians will retaliate as a call for self defence then the country will be in great disaster.

What you South Easterners don't know is that this war you are planning to start will be fought in your land. It will not even spread to even the states surrounding the East because your neihhbours will not allow it. And you guys will lose almost everything you have laboured for.The North East is a war zone now and you guys in the East are still sleeping comfortably. That is how people will be sleeping in the Niger Delta, the South West, and other places if you guys decide to turn the East to war zone. Una think say war na by to make mouth. Bomb neva start to dey fly sef una don dey complain. You Easterners better use your head and don't let one fraudstar when e familiy dey London lead you guys to the slaughter slab. The Government of Myanmar is currently killing off some tribes in the country and then UN hasn't done anything about it. UN will not help you guys when the war comes. You guys are not ready to fight the Nigeria state. The odds are against you.
