You lied and tell your dad he needs to retrace his ancestral history oncemore. Anioma has nothing to do with biafra and will never have anything to do with such faceless, derogatory and evil-prone terrorist organisation. Has it occur to you what it be like under these zealous, callous and greedy people calling for biafra? You'll be a first class minority and will be treated with despair and hate. You and your dad better have a rethink cause it's better felt than explained.

partnerus:
My brother not only Ika ooo, even me from that region you mentioned(Asaba) can't think of what life will be like to be tagged that rag-tagged terrorist organisation called Biafra. I won't hesitate denouncing it immediately. But thank God it's just a day-dream from attention seekers that won't even see day light. What happened in 1967 is about repeat itself again. Igbo folks should be wise now and see the handwriting on the wall. Else they'll cry foul to have been massively killed and their land disfigured.

Kagawa10:
The regent that administered the throne before the present king was Isibor, a bini name!
Like I said earlier, face your Asaba and leave the ika folks alone, they aint your mates by the way!

Most ibos on nairaland are senseless but of course they don't represent the wider ibos.

Olabestonic001:
(1) Unless you enter a deal with your neighbor, do not assume his sympathy or friendship with you mean he will lay his neck for you. Blaming him when he has exhaust his own limit should never be termed backstabbing or sabotaging. Define boundaries before blackmailing anyone. Because you help a lady get an appointment does not mean she must marry you; separate deals must be entered.
.

Olabestonic001:
(2) Seems that Igbo's are too emotional to form a stable society. Its obvious that Igbo's mostly are sensational and bear grudges way too easily. They need to outgrow that folly.
(3)Igbo's seems not to wanna learn how to deal with people. Diplomacy is alien to most comments I've read from most of you guys. That's a gross weakness which has caused severe backlash from the communities they reside in. From all indications, its a gross weakness that they need to work on immensely

Olabestonic001:
(4) Igbo's are a hateful bunch when you don't share their views. .... Unless they outgrow the childish tendency of -a kid who prayed that his father looses his job because he did not buy him his toy- they will forever be viewed badly. It was even such that Tonyebarcanista is facing.

I hope in the next 50years, Igbo's (Biafra or not) would have outgrown this their sensational, illogical and emotional hate on others. Only that can help them.

4. Erin-Ijesha Waterfalls
Also known as Olumirin waterfalls, the Erin-Ijesha waterfalls is located in Ipetu-Ijesha in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State, Nigeria. It is about 40 kilometres from Ife and about 37 kilometres from Akure, Ondo State. The waterfall is a tourist attraction for several people miles around, and it is a sight to behold for tourism purposes. There is also a thriving mat-weaving market in this area.

Nice evidence, the lawyers and judges to saves him are currently not available.

For God sake when will the Igbos understand the power of the word PERSUASION, how can you people SELL your ideas if you can't persuade people to see things from your point of view.
All that is needed is to persuade and convince the people of SS region to see and buy into the Biafra vision that's all.

Cee9:
zobocola drink the best in nigeria

leksgcfr:
As at some hours ago (before the Op's post) op was one of the best "things" from the SE. Fast forward to the present;op is an enemy. People accusing op of betrayal are also betrayals, themselves. Assuming without conceding that op goofed or was right but the timing of his post is wrong, what about reading it with open minds without condemnation but educating the op on areas he is ignorance of (if he is wrong)?

Thank God the stage is not between the Yorubas vs. Igbos today. It is the other way -so I sit back and enjoy the banters between the two new warring factions/parties on Nairaland.

It's official. You truly are brain dead if you can't differentiate a sarcastic comment from a real one. I'll repeat exactly what I told you cause I had no interest reading a long out moonlight story telling. Yes... You know the Douglas family, just like you know Mendela, Buhari, Barack obama, etc. Nigga you know the entire planet. What a pathetic loser!! Tufiakwa!!!

Even with visual picture and you are still unable to differentiate between a home library and a BOOK SHELF, then nothing on earth can assist you.

ikechu1278:
I'll repeat EXACTLY what I said before. NIGERIAN HOMES do not have a library FACT!!! And since you asked how many homes I've been in, considering my father has multiple business partners, I've been to more homes than I can count. Hell I've in more than 4 cities in that country therefore, my statement isn't focused on just one state, nor one region but spread out. I'll repeat my earlier statement: Your university library is nothing but a joke yet your @ss is arguing you people have home libraries? Dude take a several seats back

ikechu1278:
Despite all this, you couldn't answer my question because deep down, despite your shameless attempt to deny commonsense, you know there's nothing justifiable to disprove what's written. I'll bet a million dollars you went looking for a Col Ojeh from any other author and till now, couldn't find one hence you desperate attempt to act like an illiterate without a single ounce of sense. Am I right?

ikechu1278:
Ths is what you get when someone is desperate.
Are you for real? The Igbo has higher community and people than Ijaw yet every Igbo that fought for Nigeria and murdered Igbo are known by the entire Igbo community. Hell Igbo in Ebonyi can give you detail account of which Igbo man that assisted Nigeria commit the atrocity they did in Aniomaland. Yet in your PITIFUL attempt to save face, you claiming that the Ijaw are so far wide that they weren't of one of their own that was busy killing Ijaws. Even so far wide that one of their own who worked alongside the government equally was not aware of this Ijaw mad man. WOW!!!! What a reach. Then again, what do we expect from someone that's desperate. Kudos to you dude. Kudos

ikechu1278:
Like I said you truly do have a reading comprehension problem. First no common sense, second unable to read sarcasm and now still unable to read someone already written.
Since I'm tired of breaking things down to microscopic level and your brain still demonstrate difficulty grasping it, as I said I'm not a Teacher and I'm not interested becoming one for some clearly slow therefore, I am just going to keep requoting myself.

Common sense tells going by who was doing the protecting and where they were held at that the answer is B. Judging from Douglas book, he mentioned that both the igbos and minorities were inching for revenge and stemming with anger, once again...that points the anwer to B.

ikechu1278:
Is this nigg@ for real? WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Newsflash dude: A war was going on, preparation of war was going on. Stop asking stup1d and start using that God given brain lord gave you. I'll repeat what I've told you many times: COMMON SENSE IS A BEAUTIFUL THING. Use it more often

ikechu1278:
The rest of this is just laughable trash. So because of the no victor, no vaniqushed is the reason why your government couldn't provide not one proof to justify what they claim occurred despite their opponent LITERALLY told them it's okay and they want to see it?
I repeat what I told you earlier..You are terrible in lies. .

ADEBAYO OGUNLESI:Meet the Nigerian who led Gatwick Airport Acquisition!

A Nigerian, Adebayo Ogunlesi, has acquired the London Gatwick Airport as the new owner. The Gatwick deal is a £1.455 billion agreement with BAA Airports Limited. Adebayo Ogunlesi, 56, is the chairman and managing partner, Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), an independent investment fund based in New York City with worldwide stake in infrastructure assets,is the new owner of the London Gatwick Airport.

The Nigerian who led Gatwick Airport Acquisition attended prestigious King’s College, Lagos. He is a member of the District of Columbia Bar Association. He was a lecturer at Harvard Law School and the Yale School. Ogunlesi, whose father was the first Nigerian-born medical professor, studied philosophy, politics and economics at Oxford and then earned law and business degrees from Harvard.

Ogunlesi has lived in New York for 20 years and is active in volunteer work. But he also cultivates his ties to Africa. He informally advises the Nigerian government on privatisation. The late Manute Bol, former NBA center, visited Ogunlesi in his Park Avenue office, seeking donations for a charitable foundation in former basketball star Manute Bol’s homeland, Sudan. Ogunlesi walked the late Bol around the hallways, introducing him to junior staff. It was just another day in the Bayosphere.

Prior to his current role, he was executive vice chairman and chief client officer of Credit Suisse, based in New York. He previously served as a member of Credit Suisse’s Executive Board and Management Council and chaired the Chairman’s Board. Previously, he was the Global Head of Investment Banking at Credit Suisse. Since joining Credit Suisse in 1983, Ogunlesi has advised clients on strategic transactions and financings in a broad range of industries and has worked on transactions in North and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

In the US, he is known as the Nigerian who clerked for late Supreme Court justice, Thurgood Marshall, who they say was unable to pronounce his name and quickly dubbed him Obeedoogee. Colleagues and friends call him Bayo. http://africancelebs.com/adebayo-ogunlesi-owner-gatwick-airport/

As at present and has it was in the past, the political rudder of Kwara state is geared towards North and Arewa unity, so how can that be in synchrony with South Western developmental plans? These people can be very irritating how they behave sometimes.

Look at their governor, who by the way is 100% Yoruba, looking like an almajiri sympathiser

Massob protest in Port Harcourt… last week

• I’m Against Lugard, Would Die For Biafra — Nnamdi Kanu
• DSS Complicates Kanu’s Detention
• FG Mishandling Free Speech-Intersociety
DID embattled Biafra self-determination activist of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, fly into Nigeria to actualize his declaration that the geographical expression known as Nigeria would cease to exist by September 30, 2015?

The Department of State Services (DSS) arrested the activist on Saturday October 17, 2015 in a Lagos Hotel shortly after he came into Nigeria from his United Kingdom base. He was flown to Abuja where he was also arraigned in a Magistrate court, which granted him bail to the tune of N2m and a surety in the same amount.

However, after perfecting the bail conditions, Kanu could not be produced in court on October 23, being the return date given by the magistrate, even as the DSS did not give reasons for not bringing the activist to court, thus fueling speculations of extra-judicial detention over the separatist comments of the pro-Biafra activist.

Chairman of Intersociety, Emeka Umeagbalasi condemned the extra-judicial detention of Nnamdi Kanu, even as he urged the DSS and Federal Government not to repeat the mishandling of the Yusufiyya movement that led to the extra-judicial killing of the group’s leader, Mohammed Yusuf stressing that Kanu’s fundamental rights should be respected.

In an interview with select journalists in Enugu during the 47th anniversary commemoration of Biafra Day, on May 30, 2014; Kanu projected that by September 30, 2015 Nigeria would cease to exist even as he declared his readiness to fight all the way until Biafra is carved out of Nigeria as a separate republic.

He traced the killings of Igbo people, whom he called the indigenous people of Biafra; in the northern part of the country to the lopsided development and federal superstructure that tended to reward mediocrity to the conspiracy against Igbo, saying that, “injustice makes life unbearable to our people.”

He regretted, for instance, that 47 years after the war, war veterans from the Biafran side had not been paid their allowances like their colleagues, saying; “These men fought under the Coat of Arms of Nigeria. The war broke out and they fought for their country Biafra and they have not been paid. It is a great injustice. It is a continuation of the same injustice that led us to try to extricate ourselves from this Luggard creation called zoological republic of Nigeria. That is why it is very disheartening that you see old men in every blessed month crying and wishing that their money will come to them and nothing happens”.

“As long as the intention and purpose of the amalgamation of North and South were designed to cheat the South,” he went on, “the nation would never move forward, because any country that makes injustice its watch word can never prosper.”
“The Yorubas have been paid, the Hausa Fulani have been paid; then those of them belonging to Biafra have not been paid. It is an injustice that must be addressed and it is part of the reason why we are doing what we are doing because in the new Biafra we would not have this level of injustice”.....
