I saw a how the army killed by brothers in Enugu, from today I have no pity for saboteurs, I always pity them because I hate jungle justice and I love the rule of law, but your own case you would be charged for treason
favor914: But one fact is certain, Biafra has no business with the hinterland Ndiigbos.
I don't give a f, they can decide for themselves and not you, ijaws only have aa half state in Nigeria and that is bayelsa and even in the bayelsa they don't fully own it
What is called Biafra came from Portuguese word Miafra... Bight of Miafra... Even Ojuckwu never claimed Biafra was an Ibo word instead he said it was suggested to him
The same problem Ojuckwu faced in the 60s is still the same problem Kanu is facing
They both want Niger Delta anexed or Ondo and Lagos for access to sea and crude oil
Unfutunately for them Niger Delta, Ondo and Lagos just won't join the Biafra project
.
Ijele aka oyigboupdate is aka udele1 you don come with your lies.
Which stupid crude oil is that. Are you people just stupid? Igbos have crude oil what do we need anybodys oil for
referendum01: I am shocked to my bone marrow by the surprising revelation of Asari Dokubo over the name Biafra. He has opined that the name Biafra belongs to the Ijaws, oron and a little bit of Ibibios and so has nothing to do with Igbo.
Further he claimed that the name was put forward by an Ijaw man Frances Opigo at the a meeting in Enugu in 1967. As far as Asari Dokubo is concerned, the region called Biafra is Ijaw nation and so in the event the independent of Biafra is declared the sovereign nation will be Ijaw republic and not Igbo speaking republic. This is a heavy pill to swallow.
Although, as interesting as his ascertain is, it leaves some trace of confusion which is that if the phrase Biafra has nothing to do with the Igbos, how come the meeting where the name was adopted was convoked in Enugu the heart of old Eastern region?
Permit me to say that the meeting may have been held in Enugu given that all present SS and SE states were referred to as Eastern Nigeria back in those days. What this means is that every state in the old Eastern Nigeria today shares in that name. Sot the dilemma will be to resolve which region between SE and SS will finally go with the name Biafra.
Said that, Asari's claim should not be brushed aside. No sensible Igbo man should sweep Asari's starling reveation under the carpet. His ascertion puts a lot of concern forward. Germaine among them is why Igbo's should be calling for a separate nation under an umbrella name that has no meaning in Igbo language as claimed by Asari Dokubo.
Our problem as it were is that we brush everything aside and we say it doesn't matter until when it matters. What we are talking aboutis a matter of serious consequence. First, I am ashamed of the Igbo tribe, a major tribe in Nigeria to be clamouring for seperation under a name that can't be found in Igbo language.
I must commend Asari for throwing up this. I have always wondered the meaning of Biafra. Oh yes now a household name in every Igbo family, but what is the meaning in Igbo language? If no Igbo man can tell me the meaning in Igbo then we have just been fooling ourselves all these years. Unfortunately, till this moment nobody had been able to put forward the meaning of Biafra in Igbo language. I really do not care what it means in Ijaw language but in Igbo language.
It is like a Yoruba person calling for the separation of Yoruba tribe and instead of saying Oduduwa he is saying Umu Chukwu nation. How do you expect people to take you serious in the first instance? The foundation of the formation of a new state must be rooted in that tribe especially in the African setting where meaning is drawn from every name.
The above is very important because the identity of an emerging new nation begins first in its name. That is the trademark. So if from the unset the name is borrowed, rootless and meaningless in the original tribe calling for separation then such a nation is already standing on a wrong footing.
Well, I also don't want to assume that the Igbo elders and the likes of MNK does not know the meaning of Biafra in Igbo language. It is very possible that they know, but decide to play along believing that the Igbos and the Ijaws will be in the new nation together.
If that is the truth, very unfortunate now that the Ijaws have washed off their hands and have denounced being part of Biafra repeatedly rather wants their own independent nation is it not gravely dangerous to continue to agitate for an Igbo nation while chanting Biafra?
If Asari Dokubo's revelation on Biafra is anything to go by, given their cold feet at joining the Igbo nation, we must then drop the name Biafra and adopt a new name that every Igbo child can call knowing its full meaning in Igbo language.
Igbos, must go back to the drawing board. Do a thoughrough work on the name of the new nation, understand the possibility of being an independent nation away from other sister regions or accept to explore other means of nationhood. We can't continue to chant a nation that is not ours, has no meaning in our dialect and can be claimed by any other region at any time. That is risky and unacceptable.
You are just a block head like asari, a simple Google search could have saved you from this embarrassing topic.
Biafra is a Portuguese word, it was named after a town in Portugal, maybe ijaws live in Portugal now. Lol
And lastly block head IGBOS WOULD NOT DROP THE NAME BIAFRA FOR ANYONE.. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF IJAWS THEY CAN GO AND DO THEIR WORSE
Faiththatworks: In as much as I don't like to comment on Biafra and ipob,I believe it's only right I add my own little wisdom to their struggle. The biggest problem of IPOB and Biafra is Leadership,I still don't understand why Mr kanu has decided to personalise his struggle against the Nigerian Govt. Personalization of the struggle just doesn't work in Nigeria,u can ask Ken saro-wiwa,I mention his name with deep respect and the highest regard. That's why in Nigeria, government always goes for whoever they see as the head of a struggle,the Nigerian Govt always,I repeat always desires to cut off the head to kill the snake. The struggle for equity,justice, freedom is not a personal struggle,it affects almost every Nigerian on a daily basis. Biafra,kanu and ipob lost the higher ground the day Unknown gunmen killed the Ist officer in the East. At this point,the head is off,all u see is the struggle of the snake or the chicken on it way to the cooking pot.
Trash talk and saro was a traitor that deserved what his fulani masters did to him, you people have no idea, an avalanche is coming
RZArecta: This divide and conquer tactics is damn effective. After causing acrimony between the Igbo and Yoruba, the terrorists have decided to come between the Ijaw and Igbo so that the South will continue being a subdued region till it's finally conquered.... Brilliant idea, great execution. It's just sad we've fallen for it
Op isn't Igbo by the way, he's not a northerner even. Just a paid zombie
Ijaws and igbos are not one you people should top fooling yourselves, don't you read history. Ijaws have betrayed igbos alot
Juliusmalema: God bless Asari Dokubo aka Alabo-Ediabali for saying this raw truth and fact.
Biafra as a name belongs to Ijaw. As all these Ipobs shouting biafra the meaning of it they don't know just that Their fugitive leader told them to be calling biafra.
How can I be part of what I doesn't know the meaning and something that has links to Ijaw people ( James Manager comes to mind)...A name with no single meaning in Igbo language.
Alu melu
Mumu so a Portuguese name now belongs to ijaws.. You people are ijaws true true
Throwback: Look at typical Kanu people begging for human rights, yet they do not have any regards for human rights or contrary opinion.
Terrorists want to benefit from human rights?
I reckon this is the same way Kanu will rot in jail and never see the light of day.
Just shut up, I already made it my business the same way udele1 aka oyigboupdate made ipob matter his business, he should pray that biafra should never come, I support using buhari style to bring him back to back to face charges for treason because I love the rule of law, but we would submit an extradition request to the arewa Republic and if they refuse to hand over the traitor then we would bring him back by force to face trial because this boy actually supported the way buhari illegally brought kanu and back to Nigeria, if you think this is a joke continue, I won't talk much and there is a difference between freedom of speech and working for the enemy
NGpatriot: In fact, how do you fight and agitate for freedom in behalf of the same Igbo people you slaughter, burn their homes business, behead and castrate them including 10 innocent Igbo school girls for babalawo juju?
These are nothing but blood thirsty, sadistic and barbaric evil cult with a dumb ass, scamming and scheming FENDI and Gucci wearing coward..
History555: Most lgbos are disappointing to say the least. Udele aka oyiboupdate is an attention seeker desperately seeking attention. Why spend time and energy responding to him. Ignore him and watch him die off like minority report It was when lgbos started ignoring minority report threads that he simply gave up. What of ipobreport he too gave up. What of mekaboy he has vanished after zero response to many threads. Where is thebosstrevor he has grown tired of opening threads on lgbos after been ignored. Igbos start now to ignore oyiboupdate, udele1 and watch him fade away like rubbish. If you continue to respond he will keep opening more useless thread.
Lol mekaboy is Oyigboupdate, Oyigboupdate2, udele1, Jerryherd and other monikers
peacekante: This is the reason why people like us don't involve in your struggles. You all are assassins, or potential killers. This is disgusting for a supposed freedom fighters. Spits. Because he doesn't agree with your ideology then he should be killed.
Smh
I don't agree with the guy, but oyiboupdate is a rat and a fulani informant
