Seperate Nigeria into these Countries.

1.Oduduwa with Capital in Lagos.

2.Biafra with Capital in Enugu

3.Ijaw Republic with Capital in Wilberforce City.

4.Kwararafa(Middle Belt) with capital in Wukari

And unity begging useless Arewa with Capital in Kano.


Yugoslavia shared into 7 countries and it's population was Lagos size.

RevDesm0ndJuju:
The word Biafra owes its origins from old Portogese maps detailing the now Bight of Guinea.

The original name of the Bight of Guinea was Bight of Mafra.

Mafra being a Portogese slaving port in present day Cameron that was named after the Portogese port city of Mafra which was a major rallying port for Portogese slavers.

Along the coastal areas of west Africa starting at present day Togo, the Portogese named their ports of calling after cities in Portugal.

So we have Porto Novo in Togo, Lagos in Eko , Escravos and Forcados in present day Delta, Marfra in Cameron, Malabu and Fernando Po in Equatorial Guinea

The original redention in Portogese maps was Bight of Mafra and written in short hand as "Bi. Mafra" just as you will see "Isle" in place of Island.

Over the years it came to be known as Biafra . This may be as a result of other European sailing expeditions mistaken the area as Biafra since the maps may have degraded and difficult to read.

The word Biafra had nothing to do with the Igbo language as postulated by that great ignorance peddling swill known as Radio Biafra.

The irony here is how Igbos named their nation after a major Slaving port in Portugal .

ObosiLandlord:
So who the fvvck gives a dam about all this? You guys can create your own forum and start talking about Ijaws and stop disturbing us on Nairaland Politics section about Ijaws Issues. This is Nairaland Politics section, is not a section to promote ones ethnic group but a section to talk about Politics

ObosiLandlord:
Who are this foolish things always disturbing the peace of Nairaland with Ijaw this and ijaw that.

Is Nairaland Politics section now a place to talk about ones ethnic grou

OfoIgbo:
That's exactly the belief shared by a few Ijaw migrants in Bonny, until our brother, the king of Bonny gave them a good thrashing a few months ago

Realadey:
Yes, even before Lyon was sacked.
He worked for APC, that was one of the reasons APC was able to win the polls at Bayelsa.

ljoh:
There are no Ijaw in Akwa-Ibom State

9jatriot:
It is an open secret that he worked for APC in that election but the real question is, has he officially joined APC?

Ijoh:
True.

This is why so many Ijaws believe Ijaws are far larger than fourth largest tribe position they gave us including me.

Idiko1:
City for a creek like Buguma explains the brain you have.

Idiko1:
This is Ijaw's cultural place of Abode. In Igweocha, watersides are the places to find them before and during Nigeria's independence.

Balogunodua:
Kikikikiki...

Feared indeed

Ijaw are the poorest tribe in the south and that is fact not fiction compete in what way? pleasure list them I wan check somtin

Efewestern:
You may have no problem with the Wado city tag but it raised some dust and I sincerely don't know why your cousins are fusing about it. I want to rename my ancestral land, why should that be a problem to anyone?

The Ijaws in Warri South only occupy Main market/Ogbeijoh market then the waterside.

Thoh:
Warri is owned by three tribes.
The Ijaw, the Urhobo and Itsekiri.
Warri South West is owned by Ijaw and Itsekiri.

Warri North is owned by Ijaw and Itsekiri again.


Warri South is owned by Urhobo, Itsekiri and also Ijaw.


Itsekiri is the minority in the three warri LGAs.
All Itsekiri areas don't share boundaries.

Urhobo LGAs of Okpe, Uvwie, Udu, in addition to the Urhobo areas of Warri South are in Warri metropolis.

Urhobo have decided to rename their part of Warri as Wado City to differentiate their areas from the error done by Awolowo who changed the title Olu of Itsekiri to Olu of Warri.


Ijaws have Pere of Ogbe-Ijoh Warri.
Pere of Gbaramatu Warri
Pere of Isaba Warri
Pere of Egbema Warri
Pere of Diebiri Warri

All these are Ijaw clans with very many communities under each of them
Each of these five clans while standing on their own is bigger than the whole Itsekiri.

Ijaw still have different homogeneous LGAs in Delta state that are not of Warri 3 LGAs.

Itsekiri Olu rule only Itsekiri areas of which does not even share boundaries with each other.
Olu of Itsekiri changed by Awolowo to Olu of Warri have caused much problems in Warri.


Wado city is the new warri because many parts of the warri we all know are in Wado City.
Itsekiri is so little that not even one homogeneous LGA of their own they have

Most Ijaw parts of Warri are not in the main city.

Balogunodua:
Yes....

I also know about 57 Ijaw men residing in Ajegunle who went to join their brothers during the Ilaje vs Ijaw war but never came back... so sad ohn

Mynd44 supports Tinubu.
