Obi of Onitsha, Enugu state government all denounced Biafra. That's to be expected, Nigeria as its structured favours all the elites from all groups, even if Northern elites takes the lion share, the other elites still gets enough share and so wouldn't favour change to the status quo that Biafra represents where they know they might no longer be relevant in the scheme of things.


But, we know better. We know that the average Igbo man in the streets of Enugu and Onitsha is a Biafran by heart.

Can we say the same thing about the average Urhobo man?
Have you been to Abraka, Sapele, Ughelli and other Urhobo enclaves before? Cos I have, and I know the general sentiments prevalent there, best believe it's very Igbophobic and more pro Nigerian.
Are you a member of any Urhobo Facebook page? I guess not.

So in essence, you know nothing about the mindset of the common Urhobo man towards Biafra and Ndiigbo in general.

Yet you feel you can speak on these issues, can't you see something is wrong somewhere. Someone/Some people pushing this multi ethnic Biafra agenda didn't do their homework well.

But they need not worry, cos Patriotic Biafrans like me, had already done this homework for them, and the result is exactly what I'm giving you. But, hey! You mustnt take my words, you can go on your own fact finding, start by joining an Urhobo Facebook page, and then visit Urhobo land. From Onitsha to Sapele is not far.

Let me tell u something, If u say u want only the Igbo groups, i guarantee u by tomorrow, u will see and hear dem denouncing Biafra once the right payment is made.

Tactically, it is better to add as many group as possible, already u have all the igbo groups in ur bag.

Nigeria will try to defend whilst we attack. But u are so stuck in the 1960s and only think defensively.

My brother attack is the best form of defence.

We dont want all the minority groups but will get the best of dem.

Opoki:
This is one of the reasons why there will never be a BIAFRA!

I have been to many SE/SS states and their view is very different,

Some say they are Niger Deltans, some Urogbo, some Warri etc,

They have no unity, bunch of bigot and chest beating individuals.

I pity those killed for the sake of protest for Biafra.

Nonsense!

In ur dream, keep going round minority group begging, whilst u avoid the real question of referendum.

Soon the foreigners will come and organise it for u, whilst they deploy UN troops to calm the frackass dat will soon erupt in the Zoo.

There is no agenda that NL is painting.

What is happening is our people refusing to accept the truth, preferring to live in ignorance driven agenda of a multi ethnic Biafra.

Referendum is not by force, Urhobo is not interested in your referendum, how hard is that to understand? They are comfortable in our Nigeria, they only want resource control which would happen in the year 4017, but none of that is any of our business, we should mind our business, that's the point. Urhobos didn't tell you they need saving, stop this your hero complex of trying to save a people that had already told you they need no saving, cos all its going to bring to Ndiigbo is embarrassement and resentment, the hate is only there.

This is not the time to react but a time to be calm, collective, stead fast and Objective

The one problem Igbo have is some of us cannot think tactically or stand pressure.

If we go by this ur post, had u been in Nnamdi Kanu position, locked up for 2 years, u would have given up.

I mean did u expect Biafra without a fight first?

Do u think Nigeria will give up the best they have without a fight.

Did the Obi of Onitsha not denounce Biafra, this Senate man speaks for himself and not Urhobo.

All he needs to do in the Senate is ask them for a referendum to decide the Biafra question.

Anything short of that is noise making.

UR NOT ALONE, DEY HAVE DONE SAME THING TO ME

They just hide any post that says something different from wat they want to hear or image they want to portray.

I dont think how dat changes anything on ground.

Those who want Biafra want Biafra, those who want Nigeria, wants Nigeria.

Urhobo or not Pro-Biafra will continue.

ezeagu:
Trying to drag non Igbo lands into a fantasy "Biafra" will only result in more resentment and therefore more danger to Igbo.

Nairaland is painting an image that it want us to see.

There real target is Igbo. That is y any contrary opinion is hidden.

I gave a view on FP and it was hidden simply becos it is not wat they want to hear.

Referendum is the only way to settle this.

Mynd44

U dont have to hide every opinion that u dont like, u know.

This is a topic with a divergent of views and hiding every opinion those not silence or remove their existence.

These are things and bridges that will be cross sooner rather than later. They are unavoidable.

Tiny landlock Urhobo.

The North is a coward and parasite region.

Is it not better to demand a separate state from Igbos alongside the vacation notice.

Y empty threats and do u think HausaFulani can stay in our region after 1 Oct?

Let us divide the country after that u can kill anybody u find in ur region and we will do same.

The only Problem is that he is in Port Harcourt saying SS is not Biafra, shouldn't he be in Yenagoa, Bayelsa?


lmfao!

That is very good, u people should release the Biafrans and be proud Nigerians.

Dat is very good.

IPOB is promising all of u in the middle-belt that the dayz wen u use Igbo for insurance in Nigeria are gone.

I hope my Igbo people are opening their eyes and ears.

U see Idoma is Nigeria but need Igbo to ensure their survival in Nigeria.

In other words, igbo should be scapegoat for their comfort.

Biafra is a stance and Igbo must take a stance and not be persuaded, blackmailed or bullied into submission.

kayez:
[s]I am Full-Blooded Idoma (FBI) and proudly so. The unalloyed loyalty of the Idoma people was demonstrated during the Nigerian civil war. It is a widely known fact that but for the gallantry of the Idomas, Tivs, and other ethnic nationalities from Plateau and old Gongola States the Nigerian civil war would have being squarely lost by Federal troops.

And this special group of people have not reneged their loyalty, not just yet; a loyalty to the greater picture of that strong, virile and prosperous Nigeria.

It therefore appalled my imagination that one Nnamdi Kanu and his group of misguided IPOB elements will conceive in their wildest imagination that Idomaland is part of the imprudent campaign for a Biafran Republic. GOD FORBID!

Now, I grew up to appreciate my Idoma heritage. We are predominantly hardworking farmers by nature and known for our loyalty for whatever we believe in.

The Idoma people inhabit the lower western areas of Benue State, and our kindred are found in Cross Rivers, Enugu and Nasarawa States. The Idoma language is classified in the Akweya subgroup which includes Alago, Agatu, Etulo and Yala languages of Benue, Nasarawa and Northern Cross River states. The bulk of the territory is inland, South of River Benue.

We are renowned farmers, warriors and hunters of class, but hospitable and peace-loving as well. For instance, the Idoma woman is the most beautiful and cultured lady you can find anywhere in the country. They are home stabilizers and extremely loyal to their marriage covenant.

One of the greatest advantages the Idoma people had during the colonization of various ethnic groups was the fact that Idomaland remained largely unknown to the West until the 1920s, leaving much of the colorful traditional culture of the Idoma intact.

From the Nigerian civil service, to the Nigerian military and security services, to politics, the Idoma nation has produced some of the finest citizens Nigeria can boast of. The contribution of this special breed of people to national development and unity is second to none and unrivalled in the middle belt region of Nigeria.

Infact, while various groups clamour for the balkanization of the country along ethnic and religious lines, I can boldly say that there has never been a time we had a secessionist group in the entire Idomaland. The Idoma man is indeed a true Nigerian who believes in the indivisibility of the nation.

How then did Nnamdi Kanu and his band of renegade agitators arrived at the conclusion that Idomaland is part of the so called Biafra Republic? Were we consulted? Did our people ever express the desire to secede from Nigeria? What really is the connection between Idomaland and the Biafra agitation?

Yes I agree that there is the proximity in land mass. But it is on record that Idoma and Igbo ethnic groups are two (2) distinct nationalities. We have nothing in common politically. I agree that Igbo traders still patronize major Idoma markets in Agatu, Otukpo, Otukpa and other parts of Idomaland; and that is where it ends.

I am therefore using this medium to sound a note of warning and call to attention that the peace-loving people of Idomaland HAVE NEVER and will NEVER be a part of IPOB’s propaganda campaign. Nnamdi KANU and his apologists should as a matter of urgency REMOVE IDOMALAND from the purported map of Biafra Republic, and should SEIZE henceforth to directly or indirectly refer to any of its part in their insidious and sinister campaigns.

For Kanu’s information, the Idoma people in the face of provocation are still very much ready to defend their identity against the antics of intruders and misguided miscreants and apologists of the unrealistic pursuit of a Biafra Republic.

I therefore call on all Idoma sons and daughters to rise and renounce the shenanigan of Kanu and his group of IPOB brigands.

I AM FULL-BLOODED IDOMA #FBI and proudly so.

We will no longer permit u to use us as insurance in ur joint enterprise with HausaFulani.


Just take note of dat and try hard to comprehend wat that means.

2017 is not 1967.

The Nnamdi Kanu should be arrested title is fun though, that must be a joke.

It is definately a joke becos it cannot be a threat.

The one they arrested him, wat happened? Ah Afonja will not kill me with laugh!

The group called on Benue South, political leaders and traditional rulers to “speak out now as their silence is becoming eloquent.”

This part of the Afonja sponsored article was particularly funny.

A referendum is the surest means not faceless newspaper by an unnamed person.

Idoma will remain on the Biafra list.

RobbStark:
The problem or nightmare you fools have is Port Harcourt/Rivers State.

No matter all the history articles you fools dig up and change the facts jus to give yourself orgasm, the state is not for grabs.

Biafra died with Ojukwu the coward who ran away and never looked back.

I repeat, he was a coward.

We have problem with Ugly Afonja dat have no use in life apart from attach himself to Igbos like a parasite by force.

EzeUche:
If that is their wish so be it.

IPOB should let groups know that if they do not speak up for Biafra and let other groups dictate for them, then that will be their problem.

Idoma find voice against Igbos, but are being slaughtered like rams by Fulani herders.

pazienza:
Good.

Ima na iwe nwanne anaghi eru na okpukpu.

I sincerely apologize for any wrong I might have done to you with my posts on this thread.

Last comment gi a, asogbuom, mana I ya agba mbo editie ya, wepu "idiot", ka ndia hari I ban gi. Imana nor fa na-achi ebe a.

Udo, nwanne mmadu.

Nnamdi and IPOB approach is the best means.

Look at it this way, if we said Igbo and Igboid groups they will start telling u Imo said they are not Biafra via media and etc.

The only way is to carry the entire balk and keep dem busy with non-igbo, we will happily exit with the Igbo and Igboid group.

There is no law that forces us to take our neighbors.

I thought they said we were adding groups becos of oil?

Oil is never a factor but culture is and remain the main factor.

If Yoruba want to go on gay about Igbo decision to start a new nation afresh, we will break out without any of this groups.

We simply want a respectable distance from Yoruba and Hausa before things degenerate to war.

Even with or after war, we will still demand our own separate nation, so a war is pointless as was the first Biafra war.

War solves nothing.

We know the Yoruba fleeing from the fulani in Kwara to Kogi wont like the fact they were not included.

Buh this is not the way to go about it.

genieluv:
This ia sadly true. Buh why don't igbos seem to have the heart of helping their people?

Do u understand the meaning of Igbo will dominate us?

It is a code word for fear of Igbo unity.

Do u think it is easy to come out on the street knowing u might be killed becos of Nnamdi Kanu? but we did and will do it again.

Do u think it is easy to give up a day earning and sit at home? We did and will do it again.

Do u know that Igbo are the only tribe in Nigeria that will train an apprentice and settle him with enough money to be a business owner of his own. (That show the love we have for ourself)

I think u are too hard on us.

U forget that we are the only tribe to suffer a major war with modern machinery of warfare. Till this day people die from unexploded bomb from Biafra in farm and construction site.

After the war, we were not even allowed access to our own money in our account, talkless of Government aid to rebuild the war area.

Many of our land where never returned but rather cut into other states after the war. Anioma is just one, we have igbo speaking areas of Cross River, Benue, Edo(Igbanke) and of-course Rivers.

Clans were cut out of Imo and Abia into Rivers state becos of the oil in their land, hence separated from their kins.

Let us not talk about the blockade . Till today, no deep-seaport in the entire SS/SE.

They say igbo is landlock but Opobo and Bonny speak Igbo and are located on an island facing the Atlantic Ocean.

We have to score the highest to gain admission to University.

It was the terror, torture and murder witnessed by Anioma and Rivers, that made dem deny their Igboness. Passing the trauma from generation to generation. I thank God that many amongst them are now waking up.

I mean, can u open ur mouth and tell Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu an Anioma man, from Asaba that he is not Igbo?

The North and South west labeled his coup as Igbo Coup till this day.

genieluv:
No sis, i don't think it is that way. Most Anioma people are of mixed origins, some of our ancestors came igbo land, some from Bini and others from Igala, Esan and even yoruba, but eventually the igbo dialect came to displace the others. I think that was what actually happened

This is very wrong.

In actual fact, Igbo are the first migrant to Asaba axis.
In those days, wen different tribes marry, a new language is created, not like today wen they speak English.
Igbo encountered Yoruba whilst migrating westward. This interaction gave birth to Bini.
With time, Some of the bini group migrated North creating the Afamai which is closer to yoruba.
Esan migrated East which is closer to Anioma.
The Urhobo migrated East, where they encountered the Ijaws migrating west and they inter-married to create the Isoko.
This is wat happened.

Ukwuani is spoken in Asaba(Delta), Onitsha(Anambra) and Ogbaru.(Anambra) The language is wat the Ika speak and unrecognizable in Bini due to the Yoruba mixture and other new words. I just thought i impact this knowledge on u.

(Migrating people only settle on unoccupied land to spread out the population and avoid conflict with other groups.)

genieluv:
Have u guys become so confused? I am from the middlebelt and not afonja. I actually said 'wow' because i commended the efforts of the South-east house of reps.
You can recheck my edited comment.

If u are Idoma or Igala, we still plan to take dat back stabbing ass of urs along. Afterall, u are our cousin. Wat are families for?

Our Reps and Senate are now on Referendum things, we done change gear.

Can't stop this. Wont stop until the logical end.
