Jokes on you

Thank you for your feedback. Your narrative is not factual. The Igbos were vulnerable to Bini, Ijaw and other ethnicities because they were not united under one king. And so these small but more united ethnicities were able to raid Igbo villages, and the next Igbo village would not help them. In fact, it is even likely that the nearby Igbo village would be at war with the village next door being attacked. The pre-colonial Igbos lived in autonomous villages. They had no central kings until the British imposed warrant chiefs on them. This made it easy to divide and conquer them village by village.

It is even silly to say the Ijaws did not have the capacity to wage war against Igbo villages. The Itsekiris, Ijaws and Binis waged war against the British.

Nana Olomu, for instance, fought a war with the British. He had warriors in boats that killed White Europeans with guns. If he could do that, then why would he not be able to raid an Igbo village?

The Binis, Itsekiris and Ijaws had central authority. The entire ethnic group could gather at a single location on the summons of just one man. We would all kneel for one man. And we would all go to war at the word of one man.

Why do you think there are so many Igbo-speaking sub-ethnic groups around Binis, Itsekiris and Ijaws? These ethnicities are the ones the British forced us to release when they banned the trade of enslaved people.

I don't want to mention names. But look at the immediate neighbours of the Bini, Itsekiri, and Ijaw. They speak Igbo but are not accepted as Igbos by the mainstream Igbos. Ask yourself why?

Some of the names of these sub-Igbo tribes are either Bini, Itsekiri or Ijaw names. Even if you look at the titles that the traditional rulers of those sub Igbo ethnicities bear, they are similar to Bini, Itsekiri or Ijaw titles.

Many of these people will tell you they are not Igbo, but their language is Igbo. Ask yourself how they got to where they are today.

Look, history is not always pleasant. We have surviving photos that we cannot even publish because if we post them, maybe it can lead to war in Nigeria. Please, let us just let sleeping dogs lie!

Thanks again, and may God bless you.

While we are here balling. There are still more beggars in your region than the ones in SW.

Godjone:
Yoruba na yoruba. They can never change. This man that speaks terrible things about APC in the past is the one romancing and dinning with the APC. Shameless people

successmatters:
Thus sit at home is really paining your life.

BossGerald:

Afamed:
You will need to contact the UGM first .

SE is worse than the yrs of Sheka in Borno yrs ago now.

nedu666:
Which dirty region. Are you no longer a yoruba man or you have forgotten some of your posts mocking ipob and telling daring them to bring their madness to the sw if they want to die

Debater:
Hey this boy who are you sef
I hope you're not one of those IPOB terrorists making the SE unsafe and economically crippled?

HitlerWasRight:
In some parts of the SE you need to pay and seek ESN terrorists' permission before you can do any ceremony.

HitlerWasRight:
Hooodlums ?

I thought they were your gallant heroes ?

Throwback:
A conquered people do not have a choice.

While seeking hate for Nigeria, they were all led to the slaughter.

There's no any Igbo following Simon instead they're forcing people to follow him

You as a human can't see hoodlums with gun without running

Where are the soldiers when those guys are roaming the street

Skyview01:
As sad as it sounds. lots of states in the SE will obey him.

These are states with governors who have billions budgeted under security votes.

Very sad indeed.

What I find really hard to understand is how sitting at home will help the cause of Biafra.

Can any IPOB supporter explain to me how forcing people to sit at home on Mondays will help the cause of IPOB?

Rutherford2019:
It concern you
Sit at home is Igbos affair

Solsix:
Sit at home works in some villages not in towns and cities. They no born them well to declare sit at home at Nnewi, awka or Onitsha

Bridget95:
How true ?

North that couldn't drag Buhari while the rest of the country including the North cried for 8 years under the deadly onslaught of terrorists in the name of the so called 'herdsmen ' and ' bandits '
If the defend truth while didn't they protest against Mamud of INEC during the 2023 elections

Offpointng:
True. Ebos are one major reason why Nigerians are hated and are being attacked abroad esp countries like South Africa, Malaysia, Asia and even in Nigeria. That's why if my foreign friends are talking bad bout Nigeria, I tell them the folks who does bad things abroad are Biafran who are fortunately in Nigeria but trying to tarnish Nigeria's image cuz they want to force the Government to give them a country of their own by doing that. I also highlighted to them how to recognise them. That;

>They are usually short and unnecessarily fat with a mitochondrious belly
> They are mostly hairy. chest, back and on their legs
> They've got a different head size as compared to a normal human head
> They are not always fluent English with a very thick local accent

And So far I've been able to convince lotta them esp these folks that we work together online.

Scarrr:
😂 who else be like scabies wey everybody wan get rid of.... from Ghana to SA, Indian, Asia, evn back home den dey collect wotowoto

MadamExcellency:
How most of you justify suffering baffles me. Is this thread to make us accept the strangulation of 133 million poor Nigerians and the dwindling middle class?

Don't suffocate the poor, allow them to breathe but the government says no, there is another method to strangle them, our "manufactured hanger" will finish them.

Btw, I have a wrist watch with multiple handles.

TruthinAction:
Yes ooo. After all, Victor Osimen once sold pure water and his story changed.
