jimyjames: Biafra recognized mid-west as a region of its own, and the invasion of Biafra was just a passage root to Lagos that was the initial plan but banjo didn't follow through the plan of reaching Lagos in 24 hours as he was commanded, the invasion was aided by Midwest igbos who were in complet support of Biafra , governor David Ejoor was never declared wanted dead or alive plus banjo was the one who made a radio announcement to address the people of mid West of their intention of invading mid West and their was no time he mentioned anything about Ejoor been wanted dead or alive ojukwu himself never made such announcement so I don't know where you got that from
Okwonkwo was a mid Westerner and he was one of those who supported Biafra and ojukwu trusted him that was why he was made the governor of mid West to guarantee biafran safety in mid West cause Ejoor was communicating with the Nigerian Army in Lagos You are contradicting yourself; 1) Biafran Army moving into non-Biafran Territory with full military force is an invasion. 2) The Head of State of Biafran, L.t Col Ojukwu's appointment of Dr Okonkwo as the Governor of Mid-Western Region which he renamed the Republic of Bini ,more than anything showed that Biafra had occupied the Region. This is very similar to ISWAP dismissing the Governor of Borno State and appointing their own Governor for Borno. 3) What's Ojukwu's business with whoever Gov David Ejoor was communicating with? |

So you see an insider contributes 70% of a successful operation while an outsider only comes to finish you off.
in this case Tinubu urchins are within real Omoluwabis sabotaging every effort of real Yoruba interests just to please their fulani masters. just like Tinubu is busy building library for the north that doesn't care about books and doing other eye service stuffs against the yoruba interest. Tinubu urchins are all over nairaland and real life jeopardizing real sons of oduduwa. that's why Sunday Igboho was betrayed even when he has successfully boarded a plane.

Ships coming to any port in Biafra will not do anything to detrimental to Niger Delta because they will simply sail past peacefully.

More often than not, we can do better than we assume is our limits if we are pushed to the wall. I operate a fish farm in a remote village and we usually buy manufactured fish feeds from the nearest major city. There was a time that we couldn't get the feeds from the city for a while but the fish had to be fed. I then devised a method to make my own feeds in that village by using locally available resources- corn, cassava peels, soya beans, groundnuts, dried meat from the North (Tinko), cat Fish offals from local pepper soup operators all grinded together and mixed with cow dung, parboiled and sun dried. It produced an excellent fish feeds that I started looking for someone to help in preparing it regularly. |

Gambit23: ""strength of the itsekiris and bini are not in their numbers so dont be deceived""
Itsekriri population both in the 19th century and today represents 1% of the IGBO population, And every IGBO community is over 3 times the Itsekiri so there's no way they would have ventures into IGBO land to raid villages to take slaves, it is impossible. The IGBOs actually fought the europeans(with their guns) for 32 years before we fell, that's the longest time it took the British to conquer anyone anywhere in Africa. If Itsekiri ever ventured into IGBO land, they wouldn't be in existence today. Pls Itsekiri had no strength, They never defeated anyone in war and there was never a record anywhere that Itsekiri fought with IGBOs, show get size abeg.
""first educated king and individual in sub saharan Africa""
Can u show any proof to this? Bros you wrongly assumed that slave trading in 1600s to 1890s were like two ethnic groups fighting each other. No, it wasn't anything like that. The slave raiders were similar to the people we called Fulanis Herdsmen and Bandits today. They went about (though with the knowledge, permission and protection of their Government) with a band of about 50 strong men armed with European weapons and lay seige to villages (especially on market days when people are crowded) and started shooting , some people will escape but about 20-30 people , mostly women , children and weaker men will be captured. Those who are from Royal/Noble families may be released if they can pay certain amount of money or give certain things (e.g Horses,cattles or even other humanbeings of inferior status) to buy their freedom. The modern equivalents of the slave traders in the 16th century are the Bandits ,Kidnappers and Killer Herdsmen. It had nothing to do with the population of the ethnic groups of their victims. |

GerogeI: And your concern is quite besides the point of discussion, which is whether Itsekiris and Benens were enslaving Igbos west of the Niger. Your false claim of provincial influence does not matter as it does not mean enslavement, as Oluadah clearly stated it was non existent, and there enslavers were rather Eboes (bandits)- red coloured men to whom they also sold slaves. My point is not really about slave raiding and slave trade but about the fact of History that there was a Bini Empire which reigned with varying degrees of success and autonomy at different points in times over a vast territory stretching from parts of Ekiti/Akoko towns to Bini to Onitsha. QED. As par Slave trades, any man regardless of his tribe could be enslaved if he is unfortunate enough to be captured in war or kidnapped (as a child) by the raiders. Bini, Yoruba, Eshan, Igbo, Itshekiri and Ijaw men were all sold into slavery. |

Why do you think that a lot of Ekiti/Ondo culture tilts towards the Edos other than the yoruba? Even the Iyan they eat or claim as theirs is Edo’s food. The core yorubas are known for Amala, lafun etc. Even their indigenious language is arguably Edoid. Both the words Iyan and Bini are Yoruba names. The african menu of pounded Yam is eaten in many African tribes from Togo to Nigeria and beyond. Even in Nigeria, Igala, Nupe, Yoruba, Ebira, Igbo, Bini, Urhobo, Ijaw all eat pounded Yam, so how is it a Bini diet? |

GerogeI: A moat, or earthpit does not make an empire, Benin was merely a Kingdom and had zero influence East of the Niger.
That controversy, which Olaudah elaborated by showing that the boarders of Benin was unknown is besides the point and just a distraction.
The real issues are with reference to Reno's claims, and as Olaudah evidenced are: 1. The slave raiders were Eboes not Iteskiri or Benens 2. The slave traders were Eboes not Iteskiri or Benens 3. The slave route was through Eboe land not Iteskiri or Benens as they all spoke languages same as the Eboe slave. 4. No body ever mentioned or knew Itsekiris at Equiano's time, an insignificant minority group brought to light only by the formation of Nigeria.
Finito. You are bringing in different issues (based on your disagreement with Reno Omokri) into the discussion. My point is that Olaidoh Equiano unequivocally stated that his village was in one of the provinces of Bini Empire. QED. |
