1. The SW survived comfortably before oil was discovered.

2. The SW under the old western region built many historic "First In Nigeria" structures without oil money.

3. The SW built all the industrial estates in Lagos from Ikeja industrial estate to Matori, Apapa, Mushin and Ilupeju industrial and these industries are still responsible for countless jobs and a major chunk of Nigeria's industrial output, goods and services.

All before Nigeria became a country and infact, oil and affiliation with the rest of the country slowed down the SW because the SW achieved all the above in less than 10 years so imagine the SW today without the association and oil bargage.

Nobody is putting biblical spin on anything.. you choose to see it only from your one way direction.. ask yourself was there a place called " Bight Of Biafra" before 1960 ? now called Bight Of Bonny after the civil war .. where ever the name hails from is not as important as it is name we are known for.. it has been existing before the civil war..
Your ego is just driving you wild bro.. calm down..take a chill pill and watch as the country BIAFRA unfolds its self..

veraponpo:
So to you my brother, inciting people of a country against the country is not a crime? Why did you think Wole Soyinka was imprisoned in 1968? Did he kill? It was just because he was defending Biafra course despite being a Yoruba man.

Don't raise a bluff against bullet, Igbos should be wiser now.

As touching the issue of MASSOB, it is those who have eaten that want to reduce their numerical number a bit. After a month or two, they must have wasted about 100 persons, then they will have a default reset of their brain.

Fighting a lost battle. Where is MEND today?

tpiander:
it's most likely origin is Portuguese, from Biafara, Biafar or Biafare

Anseth:
It seems you too much of the Igbo/ Biafra history / tradition right? .so tell me what is your anger about the origin of Biafra or the Igbo as a race/tribe? I see you either don't know it or you choose to antagonise anybody that provides Information..saying it might be a corruption of a town in Cameroon confirms you have a deep hatred for the Igbos.
let me burst your bubble bro.. my last comment above is confirmed and authentic.. maybe you read another history journals fabricated from the pit of falsehood ..

veraponpo:
This is purely an admittance of ignorance.
Meeting bail condition is one thing, proving your case in court is another thing.
The whole cyber space has been inundated with numerous information real and fake about Nnamdi Kanu. How government played into his hand (fat lie), how he will become more popular (victims' mentality), etc.
The truth of the matter is, the end has come on IPOD's project, just as MASSOB is dead and Nwasurike is a dead lion, Nnamdi Kanu will forever be under security surveillance both within and outside the Shore of Nigeria.
He has been demystified. Radio Biafra's existence is threatened as he would be told to end the airing and nothing for him any more.
Ignoramuses talking does not know what treasonable felony means.

Ugomba:
Firstly, I am not a supporter of all this whole protests, Rule of law and due process is the best method in resolving any issue!
- I want to give a Stern Warning To All South Westeners and Northeners on Nairaland who are using the "Asaba Massacre" as a Joke on Biafra thread to STOP IT and the mods should always do something about it.
- As a Proud Anioma guy, It is very insultive and annoying to laugh about people who were massacred in cold blood! SHOW SOME RESPECT.
If you want to comment on any anti Biafra thread, do that but never you joke with the "Asaba Massacre" again.
The FG should declare Federalism, so that all states can have a control of its own resources!
Avoid Violence, Embrace Peace and Lastly, Love Conquers All.

Anseth:
Biafra isn't an Igbo word nor
coin from Igbo language, it's of Portuguese origin
dating back to the 15th century, in fact, in present day
Portugal, there's a town named Biafra. The word
Biafra was taken from the Bight of Biafra, renamed
Bight of Bonny by Federal Government after the
Biafran Nigerian War to obliterate Biafra from
Nigerians' conscienceness.

ArodeTsolaye:
Some of you are simply demented, even when slapped with common sense, you still vow to voluntary remain intellectual paraplegics. Forget about the existence or non-existence of 'Jew origin'. Was there a Biafra (as recorded by european explorers) before the word Niggeria came into existence? Yes or No!
Yes! and you call it 'nonsense name'? If You prefer "Nigger area" name given to you by a slut named flora shaw? You are sick in the head ....Sir!

theDEVILisHERE:
This not about igbo history
This is about Biafra
Biafra ie: Igbo, Ibibio (ibibio/efik), Izon (aka ijaw), Isoko, Isobo (aka urobo), itshekiri, igala, igede and Igbanke (take note of the "I" initials in all of them)

Can't really tell you where exactly you can verify that information now
But like I said
Do some research if you want to really find the truth
Don't just wave this information aside


You have to also note that there are lots of info on Biafra the British has hidden away from the public

theDEVILisHERE:
If you do a proper research
You will find my ascertions true

Some of the these documents are not easy to come by at the moment so providing them wouldn't be poosble now


One more thing
I don't do or care about religion
Becuase
It is a fraud

theDEVILisHERE:
Your last sentence/question

Research on the document the British signed with the cheifs of that part of the world when they first came to do some business there

theDEVILisHERE:
When the British first came to the Mohamedian Emirates of the North at present day Zamfara
They asked one of the chiefs who those people were who lived across the river at the area where biafra is
He (the chief) said
In his words " they are the lost tribe of isreal"

Documents are available to prove this

Anseth:
I always see you as a good researcher.. but you are got it wrong on this.....
I won't argue with you.. and BTW where did you see any JEW WORSHIP included ?

Radoillo:
Well, it's a better option than what we currently have.
However, just how prevalent is the use of Onicha Igbo in the southern Igbo area? I don't get the impression that many southern-raised Igbos can speak it even if their lives depended on it.

agadez007:
yah,true that
the Onitsha/anambra dilect is more popular than Izugbe as evident in Nollywood films and In Lagos here

Some Imo people i know say ''kita'' rather than ''ugbua/ugbulaka''
even in names we give,its not uncommon to see an Imolite or abian bearing ''ifeanyi,ifeoma'' etc

but i dont think it will be easy changing igbo izugbe,let it remain that way,biko

tenks

Abagworo:
I'm a pro-Igbo and anti-Biafra Nigerian. I support republic of Igboland but totally against Biafra and seccession or forceful inclusion of minorities.

nonny001:
And the white missionaries – those who brought Christianity to us – they were passionate… so passionate that they were ready to die for it… remember Mary Slecor?

nonny001:
The only problem is; the white missionaries’ passion is dying in us… if not dead already.
