Calm down.

Nobody should die for this worthless country.
Work hard to live a good life.

The best way to fix this country is for one of us who is strong-willed to get into Aso Rock.
This should be the best approach to being the change we seek. That will take a while to happen but it will save needless deaths.

No Nigerian president of northern extraction will allow Nigeria to split. In fact, he would not mind emptying all the barracks in Lagos just to forcibly disperse or kill the protesters.
People died from EndSARS protest and the country has moved on.

Be wise....

udele1:
As a good fighter, one of the things you have to ensure is, that your emotions do not get ahead of you. While the emotions gives you the courage and the force to attack, it does not give you the energy to sustain.

This is exactly what played out during Ojukwus Biafran war. Ojukwu let his emotions lead, and did not take time to consult and plan well. He was pushed to fight, but could not sustain what he started. Eventually he fled and over 3 million Igbo's died.

Emotions make you go all out to attack your enemy, without thinking of defence. Because you have no plans for defence, when there is a counter, you expose your whole body to harm.

Today Nnamdi Kanu is playing the emotional game on Igbo's. Not to improve their lives, but to milk Igbo's. While Ojukwu was a military governor, took part in the administration and development of the eastern region.

Nnamdi kanu on the other part have not contributed or participated in the administration and development of the South East region.

He is pushing Igbo's again into an emotion driven war that exposes the region to destruction. If we are to assess the casualty in this mild agitation or drama of Biafra, it is evident that the Igbo's are already the loosers.

Igbos in the police and army have been killed.

Igbo's in ESN/UGM have been killed.

Igbo civilians have been killed by stray bullets.

Igbo economy and businesses are also affected.

In all this, he claims he is protecting igbos from fulani, but no single fulani casualty. Over 200 Igbo's have died in this alleged war against fulani in less than 2 months.

Even America with a working system, well trained police and working justice system, the police officers still behave unethically and kill people.

These officers are well paid, have insurance, educated and well funded. They are also law abiding and do not operate under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Still they make mistakes.

Imagine arming people who are not exposed, uneducated, poorly fed, lack training, no insurance, poor funding. Operating under the influence of drugs and alcohol,claiming to be protecting Igbo's.

The north that armed such people for political gains are still paying the price till today. They have lost thousands of northerners to the group and paying heavily financially.

Even with the arrest of Nnamdi kanu, Igbo's are still suffering casualty from the terror monster nnamdi kanu setup to increase donations.

This month alone, 3 promising igbo men have been killed and nobody is talking. They say when Biafra comes, the issue of insecurity in igboland will be taken care of.

The north said the same thing, when they get power back, they will tackle insecurity. They have had powet for over 6 years now, has insecurity in the region ended? Its just like watching fire start from the ground floor of a duplex, and you say when it gets to the roof you will put it off. By the time it gets to the roof, nothing is left.

The same people who are to be protecting igbos have engaged in assassination and kidnapping of Igbo's.

This insecurity have affected igboland negatively economically.

Poltically igbos have also burnt the bridges that would provide the opportunity to produce a president. Most blinded IPOB followers will tell you that they dont need presidency, what they need is Biafra.

This is what kanu told them before he had a meeting with PDP and later told them to go and vote. Before then, many of them have publicly burnt their voters card and could not vote.

The same person telling them they dont need presidency but Biafra, will tell them to vote in 2023, when he has already created enemies for Igbo's all over Nigeria.

Now they will say they want referendum not election. Lets discuss this referendum.

You will notice that churches in Nigeria grow as hardship grows in Nigeria. Church has become very lucrative as poverty, unemployment and hunger increases. Everyone is rushing to the church, because it is the only place they hear a message of hope.

While the pastors are preaching the message of hope, they are collecting a fee from the people. The tithes and offerings are the bills the members pay for hearing this message.

Ponzi scheme's also grow in such environments. As people are confused and looking for a way out of economic hardship, the ponzi operators promise them great returns on investment and flee with their hard earned resources. If you ask the investors what the operators of the ponzi scheme invest the money into, to generate 100 percent interest in a short time, they tell you they dont know and they don't care.

All they want is to recieve 100% interest on their investment in 3 months.

The same is happening to IPOB biafran agitators. All they are told is that their life will become wonderful when biafra comes. All thier children will be trained in school, they will have houses, jobs, cars, power supply etc. If you ask them how these things will happen, they tell you they don't know and they don't care. Their supreme leader will make it happen.

Kanu is promising them a wonderful country without a plan. Tells them when they get to the bridge they will cross it. But when it is time to raise money, kanu has a plan.

When it is time to pay the members he works with thousands of pounds monthly, he has a plan.

When it is time to go shopping, he has a plan. When its time to live in luxury apartments and drive latest audi TT cars in kenya, he has a plan for it.

But when it comes to Biafra, no plan.

Today they are forcefully imposing their views on other Igbo's. Threatening and killing those who have a different opinion.

Calling for a referendum and counting on touts, criminals, unemployed and frustrated youths, to win is a great danger for igbos.

These youths don't even know what they ar3 fighting for. All they know is that their leader promised them a better future. The same thing happens in Nigerian churches. Nigerian pastors, promise the members a better future, collect their tithes and offerings and make their present better.

Kanu is promising Igbo's a better future in Biafra, while he is using their donations to make his present better.

In conclusion, before a referendum is called. Its is important that the pro biafra elites and pro Nigeria elites in igboland sit and have a debate. While the touts and uneducated, frustrated foot soldiers of kanu watch.

Let them present Biafra in details. From the coverage of Biafra, to how the opportunities in biafra will emerge. How the cars, houses, jobs etc that they promised gullible igbo youths will be achieved.

If they are able to win this debate, then a referendum can be called. As it stands now, the only details Biafran agitators have in an arghment is insults and threats. Ask them how biafra will make their life better they call u sabo and efulefu.

These are the people who Igbo's want to entrust their destiny in their hands in a referendum?

People who are already threatening to kill Igbo's if they step out of their houses during their declared holiday? Cutting peoples penis and burning their property calling them sabo for having a different opinion?

https://youtube.com/shorts/PbwmtUeDzp4?feature=share

They will threaten other Igbo's against voting for Igbo's in a referendum. Before you know it they start killing Igbo's that voted to stay in Nigeria.

Today any igbo can be assasinated and called saboteurs, and other gullible ones celebrate. The killings will continue until those celebrating the killing of igbos start to kill themselves and call themselves sabo. By then, there will be nothing left of the igbo nation.

So before Igbo's hand their destiny to fraudsters and terrorists, this Biafra should be debated in details

Else it will be the end of the igbo nation. Remember, ojukwu fled after millions of Igbo's died. The Fake Ojukwu wanabe, has gotten British passport and ready to flee after the destruction in igboland.

szczescie:
I'm just noticing Ijaw sounds like I Jew and izon sounds like Izrael lol

Any topic that has to do with Name or politics or something that indicates maybe Yorubas on Nairaland there are always comments from nairalanders who are Igbo making some funny remarks.

I assumed it was friendly banter between Igbos and yorubas.

But now the way they are attacking ijaws and we are not responding, I know we don't have that kind of friendly banter or atleast I don't recall anytime we agreed to have such exchanges.
I also don't understand why they do this, I will say a few, a few Igbos on Nairaland want to appropriate, annex Ijaw states, Ijaw people etc to Igbo.

Look many of you are not good students of history or you were taught wrong things so I will just point you in the right direction, I won't tell you what to think.

But I want to assure you with all honesty and sincerity, ijaw people (I am an ijaw man both from my father and my mother and I am from one of the royal families in ijaw land)
So I know what I am saying, Ijaw people do not hate Igbos, we do not hate yorubas, we do not hate anyone, and we try as much as possible from what I perceive and what I can tell, we try our best to avoid conflict, remember when others where saying if their tribe doesn't get this or that doesn't happen baboon blood will spill, our person said my election is not worth anybody's life. That is just one example.

However the calmness of the crocodile is not weakness, why do I say all these?

People do not seem to know that by number of states and by population the ijaw tribe is amongst the top 3 and top 4 tribe respectively

Because we don't make noise or hurl insults online to stir ethnic or tribe conflicts doesn't mean we are not in Nigeria or we can't do it. We just refuse to do it.

I do not think it is wise or fair for some Igbo people on Nairaland to keep claiming ijaws are these and that, we see all the insults targeted at us especially and even almost exclusively from the Igbos, I've never met an Hausa or Fulani man both online or offline who was insulting of ijaws. Many ijaws have lived peacefully with yorubas for so long you can't even tell the difference now,
In ajegunle and environs in the 60's and 70's there were large ijaw settlements or enclaves or however you want to call them, there are also large numbers of ijaws in some Yoruba states even some ijaws in ijaw states bear Yoruba names, many can speak Yoruba my mom speaks Yoruba and she's from Bayelsa, her half brothers are named taiye, kehinde etc Yoruba names.

But the yorubas have never one day come online to claim ijaw people are Yoruba, some ijaw or many ijaws largely agree through oral history that ijaws came from Bini but even the Bini people have NEVER one day said we are lesser than them or their subjects or any of that or we must fight their battle or must support them.

But online no week passes without some form of name calling, tribalism etc being flung at us from the Igbos and Most times it goes unreplied read the topics here on Nairaland that has to do with anything concerning ijaws. It is not as If we are not on Nairaland, it is not as if we don't see them or read them. We just chose not to reply.

But it has graduated to the level of propaganda and this is why I needed to post this, because in the future some of them will claim "if the ijaws were not or are not Igbos why did they kept quiet" their children may say " if your parents weren't Igbos why didn't they reply when my parents claimed they were Igbos" so this is the post saying WE THE IJAWS ARE NOT IGBOS.

what do I mean? Some Igbos online are now claiming all ijaws or most ijaws are Igbos, firstly, na by force?

Secondly in what way are we Igbos? We don't speak same language most of us do not share a common ancestor or history, during the Biafra war you renamed some places to Igbo names and claimed they had always been like that as if we don't have history, I want you to read Mary Henrietta Kingsley's book on West African History read the part on Nigeria and the Kalabari people or new Calabar people as they were called then, see if you can find ONE, just ONE Igbo name, also we have been bearing Portuguese names and naming our places Portuguese and English names since 1700's does that mean we are Portuguese or English? till today Port Harcourt is named after Harcourt, Bishop Bara heart, Braithwaith memorial, Forcados, even the ijaws you know off from wayyyy back their names where Isaac, George, Melford, Graham, West and so on.

Thirdly you forget we where once clumped under eastern region and we agitated to leave for certain reasons, go and read history about the creation of old rivers state and maybe you'll understand, Northerners didn't create rivers state for no reason or because they wanted to, We Rivers people, ijaw people wanted our own state, because according to those who were alive then and who moved for it, Eastern Region which the Igbos were a part of became Igbo, I don't think you understand that, everything good that came to eastern region was centered in Owerri, Enugu or any other exclusively Igbo town, rails, govmt buildings, anything, port Harcourt was in existence but nothing came that way all other old cities of other tribes were in existence but attention was not given to them, and there was serious nepotism.

This led to people like Melford okilo and co. Pressuring Gowon for a state,

Even when it comes to cessation from Nigeria don't forget Niger Delta Republic was declared on February 23, 1966 and they fought with federal forces before being defeated. Isaac Boro and his comrades were jailed for treason by Ojukwu and co. Ojukwu fought for Nigeria against the NDR only to turn back barely 3 years later and try to force us into Biafra, without even a sorry oh, you guys were right then. He just woke up and added us to battle and think we will fight for him just like that, Let us fight under Biafra and gain independence under Biafra Lol. A Biafra whose identity is so igbolised, igboitic. From there god to currency to flag to everything that is not a country in which an ijaw man will thrive, it will be frying pan to fire.

I as a person I am not against Biafra if you want it Goodluck to you left for me I would allow the refrendum, what I disagree with is your manner of trying to forcefully coerce others into your Biafra, you want freedom from Nigeria but you don't want to respect freedom of Niger Delta from Igbos?

Port Harcourt is the most free, most open, most accepting city in all of Nigeria. Yes! I've been to all big cities they usually speak Igbo(Enugu, Owerri), Yoruba (Lagos) or Hausa (Kano, Abuja) but in Port Harcourt English is the default, it is the language you are expectes or assumed to speak.

In Owerri and Enugu people expected me to speak Igbo, when I went to buy something the seller spoke Igbo to me, in Kano the bus drivers many spoke ONLY Hausa not even pidgin English, in Lagos along the conversation you'll just hear the speaker burst into rants in Yoruba and leave you lost in translation.

There are alot of Igbo people especially from imo in port Harcourt, but there are also many Akwa ibom people, many yorubas and people from everywhere else, we have our own problems like everyone else, we don't deny it. But insulting us trying to get us agitated will not help you in any way at all.

You want us to hate the hausa's but it is you dragging our land, it is you selling things to us 2 times the price because we are not Nwokem

You only want us not because you love us or you want the best for us or because we are brothers or anything like that but merely because you want numbers when you want to fight Hausa people or Yoruba people.

You claim we migrated from Ghana, Sierra Leone etc, lol we haven't denied it and we are not saying it's impossible but didn't you also migrate from somewhere to wherever you are today? Dont you claim to come from Israel? So if that's true it means even the land under your feet should be taken from you.

Also you are not doing yourself any good by fighting everybody, insulting everybody, everybody knows nothing only you knows everything, only you is smart everyone else is dumb. You are fighting yourself into a corner a corner that will keep reducing as you fight away everyone who can possibly help you.

I will continue to advocate that ijaws do not fall for the trap of becoming hateful people, we should keep following peace with all men and holiness without which no man shall see God.
We should remain accommodating that's why people say Ijaw people don't travel, travel to where when PH, Yenagoa, and other Niger Delta states are the most accommodating? No religious, ethnic, language intolerance, no cheating you because you are not my brother or you can't speak my language.

Finally if you are interested in knowing where most ijaw people stand on breaking the country called Nigeria.
It's one of three things
1. No, don't break it.
2. Southern Nigeria (which will include Yoruba and Igbo regions)
3. Niger Delta Republic.

No Biafra that's not even an option except for a few hungry irrelevant people or just social media noise by one or two people with multiple accounts.

Why those 3 options? Because Nigerian politicians are the same, just greedy people interested in Thier pocket breaking Away from Nigeria will not stop the likes of Wike, godswill akpabio etc from doing their evil deeds and ruling badly. If an ijaw man becomes president or not it will not affect me personally. If an Igbo Ann becomes president it will not affect you personally, the north have been president for so long yet the ordinary northerners have very little or nothing to show for it.

We are not Igbos we are a distinct separate entity with different language, culture, dressing, history, delicacies, oral traditions, value system etc

We left the eastern region for a reason and wouldn't want to go back to that arrangement ever again we either remain alone or if we have to stay with the Igbos then Yoruba people, Tiv people INFACT all the middle belt and south west will be in that union. To counter balance each other, minimise bigotry, tribalism and so on.

That we are not exactly the same doesn't mean we cannot work together for the betterment of human life.

Thank you
Stay in love

JohnBullMySon:
My question is simple man, I read through it and I'm still wondering what it's got to do with Biafra.

Some Isreali filmmakers are doing a documentary on African tribes who claim Jewish ancestry including "Igbo Jews". They were then arrested in Nigeria.

So what has the Isreali embassy contact got to do with Biafra?

do u understand the meaning of economic powers?
Israel is up there with Argentina, Nigeria is leagues above them, its not all about the weapons u have, Even with corruption If Nigeria economy falls to zero, few countries that makes money from Nigeria will feel the impact, even USA and China will feel it, Israel doesn't have such power.
