I wonder why Igbos are calming the famous Oladuah Equiano as one of their own, but google-wikipedia has actually trace the root of this man to present Edo state, Nigeria.

Please find below an extract of his history from google-Wikipedia

Early life and enslavement[edit]
Equiano recounted an incident when an attempted kidnapping of children was foiled by adults in his villages in Benin, Nigeria. When he was around the age of eleven, he and his sister were left alone to look after their family's premises, as was common when adults went out of the house to work. They were both kidnapped and taken far away from their hometown of Etsako, separated, and sold to slave traders.

That Wikipedia is your source of info explains why JAMB reduced cut off mark to 120. I rest my case.

Ifeanyi Ejiofor, counsel of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has asked a federal high court in Abuja to order Tukur Buratai, chief of army staff, to reveal the whereabouts of his client.

Last week, Ejiofor filed a suit at the court asking it to vacate its order proscribing the group.

But on Wednesday, he filed an amended suit asking the court to order the chief of army staff to disclose the whereabouts of his client.

He confirmed the filing of the legal action to TheCable.

He said Kanu was last seen on September 14 when soldiers invaded his residence at Afara-ukwu in Umuahia, Abia state.

Why Nigeria Is Facing Secessionist Fervor, AgainBy 

Dulue Mbachu

September 25, 2017, 12:01 AM GMT+1

From 

Almost half a century after a secessionist war in southeastern Nigeria ended, a renewed push for an independent state known as Biafra is stoking fresh conflict. Thousands of troops have been deployed in the region, which is mainly populated by ethnic Igbos. The forces have rounded up scores of members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, or Ipob, the main group behind the breakaway campaign, several people have died in clashes, and Ipob’s popular leader has gone missing after a military raid at his home.

1. What’s brought the Biafra cause alive again?

In short, a new leader. Nnamdi Kanu, 45, has injected new life into the secessionist movement. Previously a member of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, Kanu quit to form Ipob in 2012. A citizen of both Nigeria and the U.K., he set up the London-based Radio Biafra, which broadcast calls for independence across Nigeria’s southeastern states and hurled insults at the authorities. After years of eluding the authorities, Kanu was arrested in Lagos in 2015 and charged with terrorism and treason. He was released on bail, and his trial is due to resume Oct. 17. If convicted, he could face a death sentence. Kanu hasn’t been seen or heard from since a raid by security forces on his home in the city of Umuahia Sept. 14, his lawyer Ifeanyi Ejiofor said in a Sept. 20 statement.

2. What are Ipob’s complaints?

The group argues that the mainly Christian Igbos have suffered discrimination and oppression since the secessionist war ended in 1970. President Muhammadu Buhari, elected in 2015, has fueled that complaint. Buhari has appointed Muslim northerners, like himself, to top military and security posts. Just three of the 17 top officials in positions in the army, navy, air force and other security agencies are from the south, and none are Igbo, one of the country’s three biggest ethnic groups. Buhari has said regions where he won 5 percent of the vote shouldn’t expect to be treated equally with those where he secured 97 percent support. 


3. How have authorities dealt with Ipob?

Buhari’s administration has been accused of sanctioning the security forces’ heavy-handed approach toward unarmed Ipob supporters. That criticism intensified after a video clip circulated on social media purportedly showing the military torturing people bearing the group’s banners and forcing them to swim in muddy water. The military says it’s investigating the incident. Last year, at least 150 of Ipob’s supporters who gathered in the southeastern city of Onitsha in May to mark the anniversary of the war of secession were shot dead, according to Amnesty International.

4. What led to the war?

Nigeria’s fractious regional dynamics are rooted in its colonial history. In 1914, Britain merged its mainly Muslim northern protectorate and predominantly Christian southern one into a single nation comprising more than 250 distinct ethnic and language groups. In 1966, mainly ethnic Igbo junior officers staged a coup against a Muslim-dominated government. The administration they installed was toppled six months later and tens of thousands of Igbos were massacred across northern Nigeria. The following year, the southeast region declared independence and the ensuing war claimed between one million and three million lives before the secessionists’ defeat.

5. What are Ipob’s methods?

The group is calling for a referendum on independence in the southeast. It insists it doesn’t approve of violence. Nevertheless, a federal high court ordered it banned and designated it a terrorist organization on Sept. 20. Clashes between the authorities and the group’s followers in the course of the raid at Kanu’s residence left several people dead, and a number of Muslim northerners were targeted by mobs in reprisal attacks.

6. How much support does Kanu have?

Kanu’s popularity has been boosted by his arrest and his denunciation of Buhari’s government at his court appearances. He has special appeal to unemployed young people in the southeast who feel the pinch of Nigeria’s worst economic slump in a quarter century. Since his April 25 release, Kanu has drawn tens of thousands of followers to rallies, defying a court ban on being in the company of more than 10 people, which has only brought him more admiration.

7. Can the secession battle succeed?

One of Buhari’s first actions upon returning to Nigeria in August after undergoing three months of medical treatment in London was to deliver a television address in which he declared that Nigeria’s unity wasn’t negotiable and there would be a crackdown on secessionists. However, his approach is unlikely to quell calls by ethnic minorities for more autonomy and control of their resources, issues that are likely to be central in elections in 2019. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who’s seen as a likely presidential contender, has said he’s in favor of meeting demands for a looser federation of Nigeria’s states. While most regions support greater devolution of powers, not many back an outright breakaway.

POLITICSBiafra: Igbos are their own worst enemies – Senator GireiPublished on September 24, 2017 By Chijioke Jannah

A Chieftain of All Progressive Congress (APC) Senator Abubakar Girei, has said Igbos are naive and the worst enemies of themselves.

The ex-lawmaker, who represented Adamawa Central in the Senate, between 1999 and 2003, said that all attempts to make late Sen. Chuba Okadigbo to be president in 2007 were scuttled by the political elites in Igbo land.


He said this in an interview with the Sun Newspaper against the backdrop of the recent proscription of the Indigenous People of Biafra.

Girei, who is also the Vice-Chairman of the northern socio-cultural group, Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), said: “To be honest with you, the North feels that the political naivety of the people of the south east has been exposed because I don’t see how people with the intelligence, education, experience and the spread the Igbo have in this country and even beyond could be talking about secession when you own the whole of Nigeria as far as we are concerned.

“We stand to be corrected and you are now talking of limiting yourself to the south east you call Biafra. I mean this is the height of political naivety. How I wish the likes of Chuba Okadigbo were alive. With his political sagacity he would have really called the Igbo to order.

“As the landlord of Nigeria why should you be talking of going back to a small hamlet called Biafra? Honestly this is my opinion and I believe this is the opinion of most people in the North. People that are so blessed throughout the country. Is it not the Igbo that own this country, you think it is the Hausa-Fulani? The Hausa-Fulani don’t own this country. It is the Igbo that own this country. You find them all over this country not as shoe shiners, nail cutters or water hewers. You find them as businessmen making money, owning properties, creating wealth


“Let me tell you. You remember what happened in 2002, 2003? I was in the Senate with Chuba Okadigbo and the others. We came together and then networked with the then APP, negotiated and changed the name of the party from APP to ANPP, negotiated a slot for the vice-presidency to be given to Chuba Okadigbo. It was not Buhari that made Chuba Okadigbo his running mate. Buhari simply accepted it.

“It was a negotiated deal between our group, the Chuba Group nationwide and the APP as a political party which chose to change its name from APP to ANPP. They then conceded the vice-presidential slot to us, to Chuba Okadigbo in person which Buhari accepted and endorsed. Buhari also accepted to do only one term of four years only; that is between 2003 and 2007 and then power would have automatically gone to Chuba Okadigbo, an Igbo man from the south east of Nigeria.

“That was the negotiation. That was our own agreement. It was our own internal agreement. If it had succeeded we would have sustained it. It would have automatically followed because Buhari would have respected that. He stood for it. We stood for it and we would have gotten Chuba to be president by 2007.

“Of course, the South easterners aborted it.


“I was in it. I was in Oyi in Anambra State in Okadigbo’s village during the election. All the Igbo ganged up against ANPP. They went and negotiated with Obasanjo and voted PDP. In fact, they did not allow Chuba himself to cast his vote in his village. That was what happened. I was there. I was in Oyi village live during the presidential election of 2003. I was not alone. We were about eight former Senators and prominent northerners who went there to support Chuba Okadigbo as our vice-presidential candidate. The south east completely rejected that. That is why we always wonder if these people are really politicians.

“This very Ben Nwabueze, I and Chuba Okadigbo visited his house in Lagos. We were there. His house is not very far from Chuba’s house in Lagos, in Apapa to be precise. I accompanied Chuba. We were there; I and the former NPN National Secretary, Uba Ahmed. I remember very clearly that we visited him as one of the prominent leaders of Igbo to brief him about this arrangement. There was no prominent Igbo man that we didn’t brief about this arrangement. They all knew. So, when we see them girating about this IPOB and other things…my friend, the Igbo as far as I am concerned are the ones dragging us down.

We didn't reject Chuba, we rejected Buhari know g who he was/is. With benefit of hindsight now, everybody can now agree that we were right to reject him.
