There had been serious bitterness between the Igbos and the Ijaws in a deeper looking, I figured out that the Ijaws are the closest related tribe to us.

When we keep trading the war rhetoric, it could all end up dangerously and I don't see the need for us to resort to hurting ourselves, personally some of my best friends and advisers are Ijaws.

In the olden days, the Ijaws loved marrying Igbo women and more than every other tribe the Ijaws as a result of earlier contact to the British kidnapped and sold Igbos into slavery at other times they had enculturated many other Igbos.

The reality here is that honestly if we don't get on in an agreeable ways despite our connections things can escalate.

We should remember that The English are also Germanic but the two nations of UK and Germany would fight the world wars at opposing sides. Igbo and Ijaws maybe related but if not well managed can escalate.

There are three options for Igbos and Ijaw post Nigeria either we all join together in Biafra, we all join together in Niger Delta Republic, whichever country we chose being purely autonomous or we shall both form separate countries while deciding on how to deal with common interest.

Opobo and Bonny, could both be independent city state while Opobo can be Igbo pritectorate, Bonny can be Ijaw Protectorate but if we love these common interest grounds so much we can both forget our pride and form a country together with ensured autonomy or continue staying in Nigeria together.

I believe in Confederate States of AlaIgbo also Igbo Province of Nigeria

The ijaws want one nigeria. They and Igbos have no aims in common

I wanted PDP to win because I'm not comfortable with one party holding power for too long but Peter Obi's godfatherism swagger during the primaries when he schemed Obiora Okonkwo out in favour of Ozigbo raised a red flag for me.

Anyway that accursed APC no win so there are no losers

Flier:
I thing it’s going to be the End of IPOB if APC should win Anambra poll
The loser candidates will put all the blame on IPOB and will do everything to destroy IPOB

The loser candidates will not say pim, it's the ordinary people in the streets that will pour hatred on IPOB if APC should mistakenly win today. God forbid bad thing

IPOB will understand the meaning of Igbo enwe eze if they deliver us back into the hands of the useless Uba brothers

AchalugoNwa:
Because you base your information and assessment on nairaland.
Nairaland politics section is full of sadistic cowards that hides behind the anonymity of the forum to carry out their devilish act

The sad part is that they are very few people with multiple NL accounts. They got a boost when Tinubu and Fashola governments began to bankroll online propaganda and turned it into a hustle

AlexBells:
I don't care if APC or PDP we are back at the master plan. APGA was being an Island which is not what the Igbos need. Anambra state is too important to be insignificant.

APGA is neither an opposition nor a ruling party if APC can't take it, PDP should take it for all I care.

People calling APC Fulani party are bereft of the mutual Respect between the Fulanis and the Igbo, they said we led the first coup and we said they led the counter coup, we both agreed it was a draw game.

The Civil war was spearheaded by majority of middle belt and Western Nigeria as at the time of the war, Core North was so devastated with the result of the Coup.

Whether Anambra is APC or not, the Fulanis knows better not to rattle the Igbos. Now that we could have 3 APC Igbo governors, albeit one is a supremo, I think APC ticket could be contestible by now, I still love Soludo though if Anambra becomes APC it is better for us but Soludo is better for state development.

Igbo President or Vice 2023, is a goal, thanks IPOB for bringing Igbos closer to the center and closer together, I'm really proud of You and even Fulanis really admire you guys. Even the battalion stationed in Anambra is a statement. GO ON WITH ONE NIGERIA some people would get back to begging for the secession clause soon. Araba/Arewa and Oduduwa you go nowhere.

APC where? E no go happen

APGA is = APC. That's why power is going to PDP on saturday. Obiano turned that party into a joke, put Anambra into debt and allowed roads to deteriorate. Good bye APGA.

I am starting to wonder if these so called IPOB members online are not BMC trying to destroy us. How can any sane or sensible Igbo person insist on no-elections?

I just pray that the damage hasn't been done and IPOB hasn't gifted APC victory by discouraging people from voting. If Andy Ubah wins eh, Anambra will become too hot for IPOB to exist.

"The joint operation in Agwu was conducted in the night and there was no destruction of any private property involved.

The trending videos in circulation claiming to represent the aftermath of the night operation is not portraying the Agwu operation. It is meant to whip up sentiment and incite the public against the Army"

So in response to this video the Army deflects the issue by referring to a totally different operation

So who are these soldiers and why were they shooting at civilian houses indiscriminately? They totally side-stepped the main issue

plaindealer:
The topic is ipob fake propaganda video in Enugu, stop deflecting..

Not deflecting I'm reminding you of some atrocities this army has denied but were caught later. This is one of them

Such a lawless jungle this Nigeria is

plaindealer:
It means they didn't conduct any daylight operations so the video is fake, period.

The same Nigerian Army that massacred 1000 Shiites in Kaduna and hundreds of young adults at Lekki tollgate and tried to deny? The truth will still come out

So who are those soldiers in the video shooting at civilians?

If they caught ESN at night how that one take concern this video?

PrinceOfLagos:
How much is enough to make you travel

The one that will take me there, back to base and enough to carry me till end of january

If pepper rest

paramakina202:
I am not celebrating anything rather its wake up call not to start what you can't be able to finish.Don't send poor masses of Igbo land into the bushes as refugees because you don't have what it takes to sustain and win a war.
You IPOBians should stop being delusional for Christ sake!

So because I'm Igbo you profile me by tribe and call me an IPOB member? I pity you. Keep at this wickedness, no be Nigeria again? The injustice is enough to go round every region

How come the army/police has not been able to smash these killers if truly they are IPOB?

The truth will still come out

Buhari will not be there forever. When it's time to legally account for all these killings let those encouraging genocide today not go mute o. Maintain the energy

paramakina202:
Those who always says this is not 1967 where are they?
Come and tell me what has changed.It shall not be well with all those uninformed bastards in Igboland that want to drag us into a conflict we can't win.

Keep celebrating these atrocities because it's not your village yet. No be Nigeria again? There's enough to go round...

I have never seen a "terrorist" group that denies its handiwork. Trying to pin all the mayhem on IPOB is nonsense.

The Buhari government is just incompetent and bungles everything it touches.

These gunmen are not IPOB. A terrorist group does not deny its atrocities. If it was really IPOB the Federal government would have wiped them out by now

Chai! Nigeria...the poor animal strayed into a country full of hungry people

Tinubu has finally found his sense where gbana hid it

He knows his heroin conviction in the U.S. has all but sealed his presidential dream. His best bet to save face is to support Osinbajo for president.

This Simon ekpa na real ekpa

wee wee not take it!

NgeneUkwenu:
See Daddy and the visitors...

Tinubu that was treasurer for heroin dealers in the U. S you APC people no get shame for dictionary at all. Very useless and evil party

[quote author=HEAVEN4444 post=107018161][/quote]There were four regional governors until Gowon came on the scene and created states. Go do your research or something

HEAVEN4444:
Fi[s]rst off I would like to say that the entity called Nigeria today as it stands is a creation of the igbo elites. The modern day igbo man is either unaware of this fact or aware but pretends not to be aware. And the ones who are unaware walk around angry because they feel they are victims but that is only because they are not aware of the real story.

The entity called Nigeria today when it was in transition to be handed over to Nigerians by the colonialists was handed over to Nnamdi Azikiwe Jr who ruled the country for 3 years. Now while he was ruling the top brass in the military were igbos. Nnamdi Azikiwe seeing all the powers igbo had decided he wanted to extend that power autonomously all over nigeria and started the campaign to remove all regional governments so thaat power will be centralised. all the regional governments fought against this but Azikiwe was hellbent on making this happen. He said IT IS PROSCRIBED BY GOD THAT THE IGBO MAN SHOULD RULE NIGERIA . anyway further down the line there was a coup to kill all the regional government leaders and what do you know ? Nnamdi Azikiwe and igbo elites were spared while all the other regional leaders was killed and then in comes Aguiyi Ironsi another igbo man who put down the law that ALL REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS ARE BANNED FROM HITHERTO. and such was the end of regions having their own powers and power was centralised to the igbo man. now while all this was going on we had awolowo and enahoro lobbying that there must be secessional clause that if we dont like what is happening centrally that we can opt out of this central government but aguiyi and ojukwu created laws to MUTE THE SECESSIONAL CLAUSE meaning you have no chance of declaring yourself an independent country, you are stuck with the NIGERIA project. AND SO HERE WE HAVE THE IGBO ELITES NOT ONLY REMOVE REGIONAL POWER AND UNIFY THE POWER AT THE MIDDLE BUT THEY ALSO REMOVED ANY CHANCE YOU HAVE TO OPT OUT OF THIS CENTRAL GOVERNMENT IF IT BECOMES CORRUPT. and that is the nigeria we have today ? a corrupt central government and the inability to secede out of it. All thanks to Nnamdi Azikiwe and Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi. Now the reason they were doing all this is the shortsightedness of not understanding that you cant hold on to power forever. Also the shortsightedness in not seeing that the majority of the countrys population is hausa and if you create a central government they will eventually dominate the country and no other region will have any chance at power because it is ONE MAN ONE VOTE, but see the igbo elites just were not thinking ahead. they just wanted all the power at that point in time. And this modern day declaration of biafra ? it cannot happen because the igbo elites have removed the secession clause from the constitution

. And so the igbo man walks around wandering why he has never tasted power since then but he is not understanding all this is his own creation. you removed regional government and then banned secessional clause in a majority hausa country ( one man one vote ), what were you expecting ? the ability to now get power now from the hausa now only depends on how much of a sagacious and charismatic politician you are, which as of today only the yoruba tribe has been able to produce these types of men who can politic with the hausa-fulani and appeal to them to share the power with them. And on a side note, while the igbo man was on top, there was an ijaw man who felt that the oil from his region was not benefitting his region and he started the first secessional movement in the history of nigeria to declare the south south a republic ( he is the originator of this-i want to secede out of nigeria), his name is ISAAC ADAKA BORO, guess what ojukwu did to him ? ojukwu crushed him and his movement and it was BORO ADAKAS movement that made ojukwu and aguiyi to remove the secessional clause from the nigerian constitution. a few months later when the hausas took over ? the same ojukwu who removed the secessional clause now declared biafra wants to secede from nigeria LMAOOO.[/s]

Your post is supposed to be about misinformation but 99% is falsehood and blatant lies. What you have typed shows that you are misinformed yourself or an agent of propaganda and misinformation.

Gowon dismantled regions and created all these plenty useless states but misinformation has led you to call Ironsi's name

Nigerian Army hand don fall finish. Only strong on media and civilians but pussycats when they face boko haram

AkalaJ:
Did Mazi Nnamdi Kanu make an inciting broadcast instructing his listeners to destroy Lagos infrastructures and target specific Yoruba personalities or not? That's the real question. He did! And it's on record. He cannot deny that. That's the real criminal charge against him in this instance, not the ethnic background of the mob that went on rampage. Ipob members definitely participated in the overall carnage that befell Lagos during endsars.

So are you saying that the people that burnt Oba of Lagoon's palace are Yoruba ipob members? This your post no balance

thebosstrevor1:
If you like call me an igbo hater, i don't have one hate against the igbos.

I will just like to correct some things about igbo commercial strength, first and foremost the igbos so called commercial strength start and ends in lagos, .

The Igbo commercial strength is more in the north than lagos

When the president no get WAEC how the minister of justice go come dey

The only thing the courts can hold Kanu liable with is incitement. The rest of the charges are all rubbish.
