Kingsley1000:South South did not betray Igbo. The problem is that the Igbos are very arrogant, insulting, rude and dishonest. If not, how will some persons in the name of MASSOB and IPOB just sat in their South-East Igboland and begin to annex the lands of other ethnic groups into their dream Biafra without consulting or seeking consents of those tribes. Is that not disrespectful and disregard for feelings and aspirations of the minorities?. Why are some Igbos so rude and arrogant? Well, it may be as a result of the fact that Igbos did not have rich history of kingship and empire-building before colonial rule! That may explain why they lack courtesy and respect for elders or even kings. It's on record that the British were the ones who exposed the Igbos to civility and traditional leadership through the introduction of warrant chiefs, unlike we the Edoid people who have built and operated large organised kingdoms with powerful kings many centuries before arrival of Europeans!. |
caracas:But the Ijaw Youth Council [the umbrella body of Ijaw youths] have also came out to warn you Igbos not to include Ijaw lands in your Biafra now? |
deomelo:Just watch out! As long as the resource-rich Niger-Delta minorities refuse to join their Biafra the Igbos may not go, because their hope of developing their erosion-ravaged South-East homeland is built majorly on the oil resources of the South-South and access to the sea using the Niger-Delta. Don't think they [the Igbos] are fools. Just imagine if only Igbo land [including Delta Igbos and Rivers Igbos] form Biafra, it will be land-locked and no access to the sea. To make it worse, it will be completely surrounded by Nigeria just as Lesotho and Swaziland are completely surrounded by South Africa. The implication is that, every good Biafra will export or import will have to pass through Nigerian seaports or airspace with its attendant high duties Nigeria may impose on them. Sometimes I wonder whether these IPOB and MASSOB leaders have ever put these factors into consideration. |
technicallyrich:You are Igbo pretending to be Ijaw! We cannot be deceived. |
EzeUche:You don't have any thing in common with rhem, but IPOB and MASSOB included their region as part of Biafra. Now we know the Igbos have selfish hidden agenda concerning Niger Delta minorities. |
veekid:But it possibly originated from Senegal now! Can't you see that the cuisine is named after the Jollof people [also called Wollof], the largest ethnic group in Senegal? |
Ogonimilitant:From the tune of your write-up we know you are Igbo masquerading as Ogoni. I'm not surprised any way; that is IPOB's usual trade mark. |
Odingo1:If a Republic of Niger Delta where all the people as minorities can checkmate themselves will not work out, is it joining Biafra where about 85% of the population will be Igbo that will work out? You can't trick us this cheap! Try harder next time. I'm Urhobo-Isoko, and we have made our stance on Biafra known to you Igbo people already. However, we are not against a Biafra with a 100% homogeneous Igbo population that will also include the Igboid tribes of South-South. |
Sunnycliff:May be you did not understand the situation in the state. The market unions don't even allow traders who want to sell their goods at cheaper rate to sell at all. The unions determine the prices and force all members to abide by it, and if you are not a member you wont be allowed to sell in the markets. |
Templerun95:In your dream world. |
NwaAmaikpe:Igbo Biafra an honest nation? with all their criminal tendencies [drug pushing, internet frauds, 419 activities, fake drugs marketing, faking of products, kidnapping, baby factories, etc]. What a joke! |
fasterwell:We Niger Deltans don't need both of you Igbo and Arewas, including those cowards popularly known as Afonjas! You all are parasites feeding on the abundant wealth of our Niger Delta. As for that oldman called Bugaje, if he think he is bold and brave enough to utter such nonsense let him come to either Warri or Yenagoa and say it open to Niger Deltans hearing. |
mcbreeze:How prepared are you to defend your land in the event they carried out their threat? Where are your stoke-piles of war weapons? Is there any organised military arm of IPOB and MASSOB strong enough to defend Igbo land? Mind you, these Northern Islamic Fundamentalists have since sent forth their foot-soldiers in the name of Fulani Herdsmen [their dependable collaborators to implement their Islamic and political agenda in the South]. They [Herdsmen] have already penetrated all parts of the South, and have since taken defensive and attack positions throughout our bushes, forests and farmlands. You should know that all those herdsmen attacks in the South are not just ordinary, but may be part of their grand agenda to test the strength and capability of our people to defend their lands in event of launch of their grand warfare plans from d North on a set day. And that " day" may be this recent ultimatum given the Igbo people. I just pity the South who claim to know but are so ignorant and unprepared. The day this people launch their grand plans, it may not take them months before they subdue the whole south [not just Igbo land] because their secret foot soldiers [Fulani Herdsmen] have already taken over the forests of the South well armed. Yet the South is still unprepared militarily. Mind you, these illiterate barbaric Northern Elements are not ready to support any referendum neither do they want any restructuring of Nigeria. They feel okay with their medieval archaic way of life and the slow pace of development. So don't even dream that one day there will be such referendum in Nigeria except by force by the demanding side. Virtually, the only way for any region to pull out is by force. These Northerners understand very well the cowardice of Southerners and their fear of war, and as such they are capitalizing on it to dominate the South. That explains why every time Southerners call for restructuring of the country, all the Northerners do to keep the South in check is to threaten war and "coward Southerners" will actually chicken out. Sorry to say this, Southerners [Yorubas, Igbos, Edoid group, Efik/Ibibios, with probable exception of Ijaws] are just a bunch of disunited educated noise makers with no action! For your information, I'm not calling for war, rather I pray for peace. If all parts of the country can agree with one another to live in peace and unity, Nigeria will be very great and prosperous. We have the resources. |
Evestar200:It's due to stupidity and cowardice of our people who allowed these Fulani herdsmen to harass them in their own homeland. These herdsmen are on a mission under sponsorship. They have a hidden agenda, which is to weaken the ability of Southerners to resist in an event of Islamic invasion from the north. But painfully, Niger Deltans are yet to see or understand this handwritten on the wall. |
ShaqFu:Their greedy eyes are on the vast resources of our Niger Delta on which they hoped to develop their resource-deprived and erosion-ravaged South East homeland. That is why they are using every means to coerce us into joining their dreamed Biafra country. But we are wiser. |
Mazeltovscotty:It's very clear that the South-East [Igboland] is among the poorest regions of the country with scanty natural resources. The Igbos know this themselves, and that is why they are deploying every trick to lure the Niger-Delta region with its vast rich natural resources and abundant land into their fantasized Biafra to sustain the economy of their dreamed country. But luckily, we Niger Deltans know their hidden agenda. |
Sanchez01:Urhobo migrated from "AKA" not "EDO". At the time Urhobo left, the Kingdom and land of the Ogisos was then known as "AKA". The terms "EDO" and "BENIN" are recent names which came into use only after the collapse of the Ogiso Dynasty and the subsequent emergence of the Oba Dynasty. The collapse of the "OGISO DYNASTY" and its replacement with "OBA DYNASTY" brought a change of name from "AKA" to "EDO". In fact, the name EDO was believed to have been introduced by Oba Ewuare the Great to immortalized a certain servant who saved his life during his struggle to ascend the Benin royal throne. |
ESDKING:Don't say what you don't know! Even nearby Liberia has fought two civil wars yet Liberia still remain one country. The first civil war was fought during the reign of Samuel Doe in the early 1990s, while the second civil war was staged during the regime of Charles Taylor in the early 2000s. That second war ended only when Charles Taylor was given asylum in Nigeria as part of the peace deal. Even DR Congo has fought several civil wars since independence in the 1960s, and up to date they are still looking for permanent peace. So get your fact right before coming online. |
DocHMD:Is it we Niger Deltans that we allow you Igbos to enter and bomb pipelines in our lands? You must be joking! Don't forget what our people did to Igbo Biafran occupational forces in Warri, Sapele, Benin, Ughelli, Abraka and Yenegoa areas during the 1960s Civil War. Pray for peace not war. |
Hash86:If we should follow the way you reason, then it is high time my people [Deltans] started sending all the Northern Muslim staff of Petroleum Training Institute Effurun Delta State packing because they make up a large % of the total staff of the institution. In fact, Northern Muslims have been heading PTI for consecutive years during which they favored their own people and flooded the institution with Muslim workers. Yet our people did not complain neither did they became hostile to the Muslims. We are not fools |
NtoAkwaIbom:Doubt even bother yourself speaking Ibibio to him because he can't understand. He won't also reply you in Ibibio because he is just an Igbo boy pretending to be from Akwa Ibom. It's just one of their dubious tactics. All this their shout for Biafra is because of the Niger Delta region. Their greedy eyes is on our rich resources and potentials. We are blessed. |
HungerBAD:Jewish Community? What a joke! The only real Jewish people I know are Semitic [white skinned]. Seriously, I have never seen Negroes [dark skinned people] fooling themselves the way some of these Igbos do. Their inferiority complex is a disgrace to the black race! |
Oche211:But Africans are not the only black people in the world. The people of Papua New Guinea are blacks but did not migrate from Africa! They are indigenous to their native land. |
MayhorE:"Guinea" is a "Latin/Portuguese/Spanish" word meaning, "Evergreen Forest/Vegetation". It is a common "name" the early European Explorers used to call coast lands having thick "tropical rain forests" as found in West Africa and Islands in the Pacific Ocean. As a result, there are today about four [4] countries in the world using or bearing the name "GUINEA", and three [3] of these countries are in Africa [Two in West Africa and one in Central Africa]. They are "Republic of Guinea" [i.e. French Guinea or Guinea Conakry], "Republic of Guinea Bissau" [Portuguese Guinea], "Republic of Equatorial Guinea" [Spanish Guinea] and "Republic of Papua New Guinea" [located in the Pacific Ocean close to Australia]. |
MayhorE:Papua New Guinea is not an African country but Oceania country [located close to Australia], although the people have dark skins resembling those of black Africans. |
Basildvalour:Papua New Guinea is not an African country! P.N. Guinea is an island country in the Pacific Ocean close to Australia, although they have black skins like people in Africa. |
Basildvalour: |
Oche211:Correction! Papua New Guinea is in Asia, and not an African country. |
YonkijiSappo:In likewise manner, tell us the origin of first Yoruba monarchs! |
MayorofLagos:U mean to say u believ this fabulous story formulated by a white man in far away Russia as true history of the Binis? Guy wake up! A foreigner can not tell Africans their true history, only Africans can! Edos know their history and are proud of it. |
Omamo urioke. Proudly Urhobo-Isoko. |
oruma19:Don't mind him. Warri has two state constituencies: Warri Constituency 1 is for the Itsekiris, while Warri Constituency 11 is for the Urhobos of Warri [the present Urhobo occupant of that seat is Hon. Dennis Omovie]. |
