MelesZenawi:
If you check where this op come from

It will be one timid village like that but will rush here to shout Igbos

You and who discussed this nonsense u just wrote here.

MelesZenawi:
All of them are Yoruba states.

Ondo is a full Yoruba state likewise Edo.

MetaPhysical:
Kanu has put out a map and instructed his ipigs to study and memorize it so the errors of 67 by Biafra will not be repeated.
Get a copy, it shows where Yorubaland is.

MetaPhysical:
...and instead to face North for revenge of igbos massacred, Biafra headed West. That error marked the downfall of vibrant Biafra.

Shayetet13:
Igbos will fight for Osinbanjo just like they did Onnogen, but it's unclear if his people will show up for him... Or characteristically throw him under the bus

In the coming days, a torpedo could be coming in the way of the vice President. It could range from corruption allegations to smear campaign. The EFCC would be expected to lead the assault, in connivance with some Judicial officers in the Books of the Cabal. His code of conduct forms could be exacavated and the needful through the CCT. just like the case of the former Chief Justice, Onnogehen, the Igbos will see it as it has always been, a WITCHHUNT.

Osinbanjo has not served Igbos interest well, especially with his selfish utterances about presidency returning to the southwest in 2023, When The Southeast zone have not had it in the south. But Expect the Igbos to fight for him. It does not matter, the Igbos hate Oppression. The Igbo media and pressure group will be mobilized for him. The Igbo law makers will be outspoken standing their ground in case of impeachment. I won't be Surprised if southwest lawmakers team up to oppress their son.

Even if the southwest abandon their son, which is their modus operandi, there would be a storm and it will not likely swallow Osinbanjo without a fight because the Igbos will show up for him, just like they do for anyone else oppressed.

UdechiHD:
Sorry Mr IPOB, I can't have intellectual discuss with an Nnamdi Kanu enlightened scholar.
Bye.

The Directorate of State (DOS) of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is glad to announce that it has adopted the Referendum Template of the Lower Niger Congress (LNC). As one of the pro-Biafra organizations,

IPOB wishes to state that the LNC Referendum Template is the surest way to guarantee a non-violent and transparent strategy for the nation of Biafra to get out of the British-createdcontraption called Nigeria.

UdechiHD:
You're bringing later events into discuss. If you're showing a map of Lugard's colonial Nigeria, then stick to that discuss. Don't go bring up later event irrelevant to your point.

UdechiHD:
Southern Cameroon wasn't part of us, they and Northern Cameroon were in German hands.

Nnamdi Azikiwe never negotiated with Ahmadu Bello to cede Southern Protectorate territories to the North or West. It was the British who tampered with the territories in order to empower the north.




Awolowo even criticized the British for adding Kwara/Ilorin to the northern protectorate.

You guys should go and study Nigerian history and don't rely on Nnamdi Kanu who is intellectually deficient to school you. Nnamdi Kanu cannot give what he doesn't have, he's intellectually limited as simple as that.

I have always maintained that IPOB is an illiterate group and will only end up making noise or rather push us into unprepared conflict with their lack of charisma. Sorry if I sound rash, but this is the truth.

When a leader is dangling Judaism on one hand and given daft historical classes then he's a failure.

1801 - 1900 The Fulani wars were fought. Missionary activities spread. Britain set up northern and southern protectorates and a colony in Lagos.

1914 Territories were combined to form Nigeria and were administered through four provinces - Northern, Eastern, Western and the colony of Lagos

1922 The Clifford Constitution stipulated that a Legislative Council administer the eastern and western regions. This was regarded as the first step toward autonomy from British rule. The Ibo and Yoruba regions were affected by this change, causing further animosities between the north, which continued to be ruled indirectly by the British, and the potentially autonomous south.

1945 - 1950 The "Jos" riots occurred in the north which were minor riots in protest of the northern amalgamation with the southern regions. When oil was discovered in the Ibo dominated eastern region, the Emirs of Zaria and Katsina demanded fifty percent of the seats in the newly formed Central Legislature. The Emirs threatened to secede from Nigeria if their demands were not met. The acceptance of these demands signaled the beginning of northern domination of Nigerian national politics.

UdechiHD:
Your Southern Protectorate should not exclude Igala and Idoma. There are part and parcel of it. Unless maybe you're looking at a potential 4 separate countries.

If the amagalmation clause is triggered then I'm sorry the middle belt will be part of the north, except Northern Cameroons (Which includes Taraba, Adamawa, parts of Gombe and Borno).
These lots can use the referendum clause in 1963 to form their Adamawa republic as pointed out by the Emir of Yola in the national conference.

1959 A coalition between the Hausa-Fulani supported Northern People's Congress (NPC), the Ibo National Council for Nigeria and the Cameroon (NCNC) blocked the western Yoruba controlled Action Group (AG) party from gaining any significant share of central authority in the December elections. A northerner, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, was named Prime Minister.

UdechiHD:
Hammer was right. The earlier Southern Protectorate of Lugard excluded the Yoruba's.

The Yoruba's had their own Lagos Colony signed off by King Dosunmu which gave Britain ownership of Yoruba land for some gold payment.

The Yoruba's were later added to the Southern Protectorates later. But the Original Southern Protectorate excluded the Yoruba's, they were a Colony in their own.

UdechiHD:
The map shows the original protectorates of Lugard colonial Nigeria.
The Yoruba's were joined with the southern protectorate and later given a region of their own with a large chunk of the the southern protectorate. You're right. They and their kins in Ilorin/Kwara were together, except for the Okun/Kabba who were in the north.

On the other hand, the southern protectorate had the Igala and Idoma in it. But were later added to the northern protectorate which became larger with the addition of the northern Cameroon's in 1963.

The old southern protectorate should be the clamour of IPOB if you're sincere. But because you guys are adamant in dropping the name Biafra as well as the historical distortions of Kanu, you decided to cling on the tag old east to incorporate the likes of the Itshekiri.

Before IPOB noise submerged other groups, there was a chap by name Nnadi who was fronting the restoration of the old Southern protectorate into the Lower Niger Republic.

The Lower Niger Congress was the name of the group and their clamour was in the interest of the inhabitants of the oil rivers or rather lower Niger.

Tomide007:
Politically yes, religiously not really....Christian & Muslim marriage is a common phenomenon... Even in political decisions, d guy that votes PDP today can vote APC 2mao.

When will IPOB focus on Igbo people in the SE/SS/MB. This stubbornness will keep bringing scorn and mockery to their agenda.

Even if you want to drag people into Biafra from the old eastern region, then limit it there.

Someone should tell these illiterates that[b] Itshekiri and Urhobo were not part of the old Eastern region but Mid West. [/b]But will the illiterates heed?
Expecially when illiterate Kanu and 2nd illiterate in command Uche Mefor keeps feeding them with wrong historical class.

In time another group only for the Igbo people and led by charismatic and intelligent leaders will arise. Leaving IPOB and Massob to their illiterate phantom republic.

SamNaijaboy:
The house of rep speakership was never zoned to the East.
It was a winner takes all contest. When the APC was being formed, why didn’t the SE take pride of place when invited?
Now you are seeking to reap from APC’s toils when you voted PDP enmasse?

gwarotango:
For the fact that the Israeli PM mentioned you in passing in one of his numerous speeches doesn't mean a thing, besides you fail to realize the context in which he did. For your information, the ties between Isreal and Nigeria are quite strong and I don't see anything in the near future that will change that. Also what makes you think that a far away middle eastern country who doesn't even have a permanent seat on the UNSEC have such clout to dismember another sovereign state? That's not how international relations work. Like I said Kanu is just making his cool cash off the backs of his gullible followers, while smiling away to the bank. The UN will never entertain any motion to dismember this country. Your Biafra is DOA

gwarotango:
Then you've set yourselves up for failure. Of the international organizations you mentioned which one of them has even remotely mentioned your cause? To my recollection, none. Do you know how many secessionist groups there are in the world today? They are legion and yet we don't have a new nation state carved out every year. Nnamdi Kanu is playing on your sentiments while smiling to the bank to collect your hard earned money. The whole world recognizes Nigeria as a sovereign entity with inviolable borders, no one knows Kanu or even gives him more than a passing look. Sorry but Kanu cannot get you Biafra

gwarotango:
A referendum silly never happen in Nigeria for as long those agitating for it chose to remain outside of the mainstream political process. So my advice to you secessionists is to form a political party, get elected to positions of power and use it as a platform to outside you're goals. Anything other than this is a waste of time because you will be crushed and the whole world will look the other way

Nijanija:
The cause of the first civil war in nija is still very fresh in our minds , the SE started nepotism and onye madu in this country this is why dey can't unite . There might be another in that region if they eventually gain freedom from nigeria just like the south Sudan .

BuhariAdvocate:

MelesZenawi:
please my town has no connection to Nri.

Nwoke stop looking for who to foist your stories on.

MelesZenawi:
Take your history to those who wishes to hear..

Is totally irrelevant now.


I made my point straight.

Akpokuedike is an Igbo man...the rest na ur invention.
