You have to keep your historical perspective correct.

So the answer to my questions is slave trade?

The present Niger delta in 1893 was called OIL RIVERS PROTECTORATE becuase of slave trade?

Why are you so confused?
We're not talking about 1700, or 1800s, we're talking about 1914 after Nigeria was amalgamated, and many tribes were forced into the NIgerian experiment.

Oga why are you being so abusive?. What is the confusion in my statement?

This thread is meant to be about Adaka Boro and we have veered to a discuss what should stand as a seperate thread. I joined this discussion when you unjustifiably labelled ADAKA Boro a common criminal. I believe you see him dfifferently now.

I hope you are not trying to use this as a cover up for the flaw in your claim that ijaws were economonically dependent on the Ibos before crude oil was discovered.

Except if my arithmetic is flawed 1895 to 1914 is less than 20 years so why are you talking of 1700?

Please note that the inclusion of the Ijaws in the present Nigerian project was purely for economic reasons , so what were the drivers of this economy then?

Are you saying that immediately after the amalgamation the Ijaws could no longer serve as a major supplier of palm produce for English interest.

All honest analysts know that even after indepedence before crude became the the major revenue earner for the country , economies in the Niger delta were being sustained by palm produce , rubber and other agricultural activities.

I should think you know all of these but seemingly allowing tribal inclinations to colour your posts.

On your claims that the IJaws were dependent on the Ibos until crude oil was discovered, I have asked just 2 questions:

1. Have you heard of the war between The royal Niger company and the Nembes in 1895? If yes what happened?

2. Before crude oil was discovered , the present Niger delta was named " OIL RIVERS PROTECTORATE" by the british . why?

While some of the things you said are very correct, I think they are more of the nigerian problem than an Ijaw problem.

Where in Nigeria do we have credible opposition?

how many governors are'nt criminals?

how many critics in this country are really sincere and not just seeking audience to line their pockets?

Is it not in this country that some people are "forming" activity with rebranding by sewing ankara when fake drugs, armed robbery,kidnaping , looting public treasury on large scale actually define us?

This thread show the depth of human gullibilty.

Before misleading yourselves, please kindly remember that before oil, before the civil war, and before Adaka Boro, Ijaw people ran eastern Nigeria regional government in various capacities: foreign minister, attorney general, etc. This was in an era when revenue came principally from coal(mined in Enugu), personal taxation(mostly from Igbos because there were majority), and agricultural crops like palm fruits(also mostly from Igbos).

Ijaw people were glad to depend on Igbos when there was no oil. Then came the war, the oil, and Adaka Boro.

Oga so na the kind social studies wey you dey teach children be dis? na wa o

For the records there was never a time when resources in Ijawland proved inadequate to meet their needs.

There was never a time when the Ijaws depended on the Ibos because of the revenue generated in Ibo land.

If at somepoint in the history of the nation ,palm produce was the highest revenue earner, and that was credited to the then eastern region , be it known that your statement that most of it was coming from IBO land is grossly false.

Ibos were getting the credit because of the were the dominant tribe in the then eastern region.

I will ask you two questions :
1. Have you heard of the Akassa war of 1895? please find out.

2. Before crude oil was discovered , the present Niger delta was named " OIL RIVERS PROTECTORATE" please find out why.

I wonder sometimes why we fail to read between the lines in this country. We allow a few criminals in politics and the press to limit our ability to think properly.

Some weeks ago a plane loaded with arms and ammunition we are told made an emergency stop at Kano to refuel. Other facts tell that the clearing agent for the consignment was arrested at the airport when he was trying to process some papers that same day just after the plain landed.

We were also told the plane which was headed for equitorial Guinea had the niger delta militants as their backers. The arms we were told was to be used to prosecute ND struggle in the creeks.

Nobody questioned why a clearing agent was already on ground at Kano airport when the plane made an emergency stop. May be the crew members put a call through to him and told him to meet them in Kano and luckily he had a faster means transport and got there before the plane landed.

This man was killed at the instruction of his sponsors who surely are some elite in the North, in order to stop him from opening a can of worms.

@Ibime

Please come on, my friend Ibime. You know as well as I do that by 1964, the only functioning crude oil well in Oloibiri was not pumping more crude oil than the crude oil well in Owaza, Asa County Council. The pipe lines that fed Okirika refinery ran from Oliobiri as well as Owaza and Bori.

What is it about this Ijo crude oil crap? In fact, the last time I checked, the onshore crude oil production in Imo State alone trumps those of Rivers or Bayelsa States.

How could all Ijo people agitate for region when most of the top government functionaries were Ijo? It must be recalled that more than three regional ministers were Ijo, including the attorney-general.

Oga dis your story no correct at all, besides are looking at the drivers of economic might at the start of the civil war.

For your information , in 1965 alone the revenue from oil was 78,000,000 pounds. At the start of the civil war nigeria was averaging 580,000 barrels of crude a day this was accounted for by three oil companies- Gulf oil nigeria, SAFRAP and shell-BP,while 2 others AGIP, and AMSEAS were on the verge of exporting oil.

On june 19 1967 barely three weeks after the creation of the state of biafra, the permanent secretary requested for royalties from shell-BP for the first half of the year. On june 29 Ojukwu summoned the general manager of shell-BP and stated that the payment of royalties by july 1st was firm.

You're making a serious attempt to re-write Nigerian history as we know it. The war was no fought so that Igbos could control the oil in Niger Delta, you see, that was the same line used by Gowon to win many Ijaw people over. There is no truth in that.

When easterners(Igbos, Ijaw, Efiks, Ibibios, etc) were massacred in the north, where were you?
When the north asked to secced, where were you?
When the eastern Nigerian government with Okoi Arikpo as foreign minister negoatiated the Aburi accord that could have prevented the civil war, where were you?
When some British agents and Hausa emirs turned around and asked Gowon to reject the accord, because oil had just been discovered, where you?

I ask you where you were, because like your brother Ibime, you are beginning to develope another unsubstaiated theory about the civil war

Your referrence to Ag. NCNC, and NDC also showed that you either don't know the whole story, or you just want to narrate the part that suits you the best.

The eastern Nigeria politicians stoked dissidents among the northern minorities of the middle belt in Benue/plateau to the annoyance and frustration of NPC, so in return the NPC stoked disagreement among eastern minorities too. It was alleged that NCNC was planning to help the middle belt become a state, so the NPC sold the idea of a minority state to some eastern Nigerians. The trick was obvious, because of successful creation of Midwestern state in an attempt to break the power of the western region.

Even though we lost the war, and would certainly look back to acknowledge certain mistakes, refusal to creat a minority state out of the eastern region at wartime was not one of them.

Oga all these your questions be like JAMB exam o.

We can choose to get academic and go on and on , while the truth is glossed over. From all your post above I do not see any ground where my questions have been answered. There are reports that the plan for the Biafran government was hatched by Ojukwu at least one year before the announcement. As bad as the massacre of non-northerners was (which still happens), the Ojukwu led team used it effectively as a propaganda machinery to forge towards a desired end -- Seccesion.

Yes the north earlier planned to secced but retraced its steps when reports of vast deposit of crude in the ND which will define economic power in the years to come reached it. The Ibos too where bent on enjoying the oil wealth. Do you know that a lot of foreigners that were sympathetic to the Biafran cause did so because of the perception of marginalisation of the east in the face of the oil deposits in the region?

On the ABURI accord it is generally perceived by a lot of analyst that Ojukwu chose to ask for "confederation" which was interpreted by Gowon to be same as "federation". Ojukwu was adviced against this , since it was clear that Gowon's poor understanding made it easy to reach an "accord". Hence the fact that Gowon was going to renege was inevitable.

"When some British agents and Hausa emirs turned around and asked Gowon to reject the accord, because oil had just been discovered, where you?"

Oga when was oil discovered in nigeria was it at the time of the war?

The eastern Nigeria politicians stoked dissidents among the northern minorities of the middle belt in Benue/plateau to the annoyance and frustration of NPC, so in return the NPC stoked disagreement among eastern minorities too. It was alleged that NCNC was planning to help the middle belt become a state, so the NPC sold the idea of a minority state to some eastern Nigerians. The trick was obvious, because of successful creation of Midwestern state in an attempt to break the power of the western region.

I think we are in agreement here, I said it ealier that the TRIAD(yoruba,ibo,hausa) always see the minorities as pawns to be used and made to survive only on "goodwill". The North was marginalising the middle belt , the Ibos saw an opportunity and went with the message of "salvation" while forgeting the sufferings and marginalisation of their minorities. IT WAS AS CASE OF CHARITY BEGINNING ABROAD (NOT AT HOME).

Even though we lost the war, and would certainly look back to acknowledge certain mistakes, refusal to creat a minority state out of the eastern region at wartime was not one of them.

I see your ~~arrogance~~ point here. The same disdain with which Ojukwu expected the Ijaws to fall in line without any form of consensus building.
If Ojukwus declaration was 15 months after Boro's 12- day revolution against the forces of oppression (regional and federal) and the Ibos still felt there was no need to sell the biafran idea properly to the Ijaws then I see why Boro is still a criminal in thine eyes.

While state creation in itself was not an end , it surely was a step in the right direction. It created some space in the political arena for the Ijaws.

Again I ask why are the Ibos still celebrating the Ike Nwachukwus of this world who is a son and bad-mouth Boro was at best a neighbour?

Adaka Boro is NO HERO. He is a FOOL. A bigot who sold his region.

Ike Nwawchukwu, Asika, Elechi, by now should be shot dead for their own evil acts.

Adaka boro is no hero to the ibos as Ojukwu is seen as a rebel/crminal by the north.

Adaka boro "sold" (if you say so) his region in an attempt to get a better deal for his kith and kin in the same manner that Ojukwu rebelled against the FG to "emancipate" the Ibos.

Adaka is as much a hero to the IJAWS as Ojukwu is to the Ibos.

Some of you have shown enough hate for Adaka boro , saying that he was just a common crimnal who had a band of touts and did not in any way influence the outcome of the war ,while at the same time branding him a sabotuer that betrayed his brothers. This in itself flies in the face of logic .

The Ibos say that "someone's neighbour could be more of a brother". The saying is hinged on the fact that the proximity associated
with neighbourliness promotes mutual understanding and empathy. However the actions of the regional eastern government was louder than this saying , the Ijaws and other minorities saw that they were just neighbours , WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING OR EMPATHY FROM THE IBOS.

@Niajaking1

You said not fighting for ones region was criminal not to talk about crossing enemy lines to fight against his region. But you seem not to appreciate the fact that the war was undertaken primarily for the benefit of the Ibos with an eye on the oil from the ND to develop and run the new government. It was not for the region or the minorities that peopled the oil producing communities. If a regional government that was crying foul was in itself propagating injustice in its sphere of control , then I will jugde that government more sinful. why? because the eastern leaders knew the right thing and the underdevelopment of the oil communities stared them in the face. In the story of the good samaritan in the bible Jesus made it clear that empathy and understanding are the 2 most important ingredients of neighbourliness. Not necessarily location or music of REX lawson as some would want us to believe. My boss iS yoruba and he is a core rex lawson fan.

When people like you call Adaka boro traitors it reminds one of how new political parties these days find it difficult to practice internal democracy but expect IWU to be a fair umpire when general elections are held. To Ijaws the traitors were the few of our sons that supported Biafra.

The struggle for identity and political space by ijaws predates indepedence and this was by every means frustrated by our "Ibo brothers". This led to a mass exodus to AG from NCNC and later the formation of the NDC etc. The lesson for the ijaws is simply that the major tribes only want the minorities to survive on their( ibo,yoruba,hausa) goodwill.

Your statement that the movement of PTI to kaduna 42 years after indepedence justifies a passive disposition to injustice as you would have expected ADAKA boro to act . It does not in any way diminish the the weight of the evils of the eastern government.

If you ask me the Ibos have not fared better in status in the nigerian project than it was in the pre-civil war days. The minorities though still bedeviled by developmental challenges have made marginal progress. Would it have been better in the Biafran government? That is a thesis for polical scientists , but I doubt.

There is no record anywhere that the Ike nwachukwus of this world have apologised to the ibos for their role in the civil war , but now they are the igbo elders been celebrated everywhere. However Boro is the devil that should be exhumed and tried. selah

@naijaking1

I must quickly state that you just made a very provocative and myopic ascertion about ADAKA BORO. So in your unwritten constitution not fighting on the part of the ibos was criminality?

I hope you read:

“Economic development of the area is certainly the most appalling aspect. There is not even a single industry. The only fishery industry which ought to be situated in a properly riverine area is sited about 80 miles inland at Aba. The boatyard at Opobo had its headquarters at Enugu … Personnel in these industries and also in the oil stations are predominantly non-Ijaw,”

If 42yrs after the start of the civil war it is still a challenge for people to objectively appraise the campaign and see areas where it could have been bettered , then it makes the job of guaging the mood of the different nationalities at that time and the factors that would have informed their positions very easy.

I always have a problem when people compare mikel and messi on the ground that they were almost at par in 2005. As a follower of the game I know scores of players that excelled at age competitions but never excelled at the senior level, I also know a lot of players that were not even picked for age grade competitions but later shone at the senior level.

In nigeria 99 seidu keita of mali shone better than ronaldinho and xavi but a few years done the line the difference between these players is as wide as you can imagine.

Players like sinama pongole,li tallec,saviola,marcel witezek,ojigwe,godwin opara, emmanual ebiede, geovanni dos santos are players that even Fifa picked as possible superstars in the future but we all know the story.

Mikel I believe is doing well for himself and career, 4 different coaches in chelsea ,all from different countries and different footballing background cant be wrong. The problem is that we have refused to use him the way he plays in chelsea.

We believe okocha's role is vacant hence he must play that role. This in my opinion is a very lazy way of looking at the issue. My take on mikel is simply to use him as our main DM where he plays in front of the defense and I know he will do it much better than whatever olofijana is doing now.

Mikel may have started as an attacking midfielder but now he is DM. Drogba started as a defender but now he is a striker, Kolo toure started as an attacking midfielder but now a defender. These changes happen.

Coming to the SE and the playmaker problem , I think it is wrong to assume that we will always be fortunate to have a player like J J . Before JJ we did not really have a special playmaker , even when J J joined the SE it took sometime to tune is pattern to work for the team and in that process we were playing some formations that was working but not with any special playmaker.

Siasia's benjin 2008 team did not have any special playmaker but he made sure that solomon okoronkwo although playing from the right side of the midfield held the ball enough and created something for the team.

I think our problem is our techincal crew, If we hand this team to a better coach you will see that we will not just get results but be playing the real nigerian brand of football.
