OfoIgbo:
That I am forcefully against something is not necessarily a bad thing, but for the Ijaws to then go put up a huge batch of made-up stories, and anti-Igbo concoctions, so that the white man Willinks would give them a state was a new low of depravity. If you cannot see this point then there is no reason us carrying on in these exchanges.

Zik was within his rights to still want a united east, afterall the NCNC government (according to Willinks report) was fair to all, and there was no attempt by NCNC to favour just the Igbos. If the reverse was the case, then Zik will have no right to seek a united east. Fortunately, the Willinks report remains an article that has vindicated Zik's opposition to the balkanisation of the east.

Zik was oldskool and was amongst the set of Igbos that thought that justice was justice, be it Igbo or UnIgbo. That was why he joined a Macaulay-led party, not caring that the guy was not his fellow Igbo. He could have easily formed an Igbo party and still be very successful at it, but he didn't.

So if you want to judge Zik, you have to do it through the prism of his own beliefs and the way he led his life. Zik's Achilles' Heel was his addiction to this unity, with people who don't even have the same fundamental beliefs with you. Awo and Sardauna understood this. He was like a candle in the wind, from that point of view, and that is why most Igbos are not really "feeling him" of recent.

As to the remaining claptrap about the Ijaw nation honouring Biriye, be my guest, as that won't even remove a strand of hair from the Igbo people. I won't be surprised, if this so-called rights activist, benefited from the abandoned properties episode. So much for his humanity. Benefiting from an injustice meted out against other people. So he ain't my hero as you can imagine.

And that he or his ancestors were settlers in Ubani-land should not be the reason for him to drag Ndoki-Igbo territory into his gimmick. Forget all that clever wikipedia moves to help eradicate the Ndoki Igbo ownership of Bonny Island. Those that own the island know themselves.
I also noticed you have attached PH to your moniker. Dream on

I do not have the intention to reply all the nonsense you wrote here, but let me correct that false claim to the Ibani Islands like Bonny and other Ijaw communities like Ndoki the Igbos owned no strip of land along the Niger River. It is unfortunate people like you always need to be reminded of your history and place in Nigeria. That Ijaw Islands like Bonny and a host of other Niger-Delta Ports were vital exchange Ports in the transatlantic slave trade doesn't make them Igbo settlements. You still do not own the Americas because your forbearers were shipped over there. That is why after hundreds of years we still speak of the indigenous people of the Americas. Get it into your skull while African Americans were involuntarily resettled in the Americas Ndigbo never owned nor settled in any of the Islands, Ports or Pennisulas you are trying to claim. We Ijaws don't dream you have been dreaming Biafra since the 60s Porthacourt will become your nightmare. Shameless lowlifes that had to agitate for a country using other people's identity.

What kind of luxury meal do they give them?

How did her skin colour change?
Na wa ohh!

Dedetwo:
Anybody who believed this nonsensical attempt to be relevant is a basement fool. The dumbass narrator made it was in 1968. Sometimes falsehood bearers forgot one of the major tools of their trade which is retentive memory. By July 26, 1967, Unani (Bonny) was already in the hands of Nigeria's 3MCDO. By the January 10, 1968, Port Harcourt was under severe threat by Nigerian combined forces of Navy and Army. It is on record that people of Opobo, Okrika, Kalabari especially Degama division, which I guess included Bakana as well as Brass division were in support of Biafra therefore had drawn the ire of other Ijo group who deemed them saboteur. They were evacuated to avoid the intended reprisal from turncoats among Ijo groups and marauding Nigerian soldiers.

Lies!
In case you don't know. I am from one of those Ijaw clans you listed. Bakana, Abonemma, Ogu etc can't be saying the same thing about Biafran rebels and you call that lies.

The victims of the evacuation say it was a land grabbing move.

You people disrespect the memories of our loved ones you murdered in a gruesome manner by denying it.

mindtricks:
No baba. Not me.

It is sweeter when we leave things clean.
I feel your point though.

Some people provoke you!
If you know what my people have passed through in the last 70 years you will understand why it is annoying when people try to whitewash what people went through.

OfoIgbo:
This will not be the first time, trumped up charges are leveled against the Igbos.

Sir Willink, the former Cambridge university vice chancellor spotted this trend, when the eastern minorities came with various frivolous claims against Ndigbo. These eastern minority reps must have thought that all they needed to do was to make allegations. Unfortunately for them, Sir Willinks did not just depend on mere hearsay. He investigated the allegations and his committee came to find out that these were just malicious tales put together by these reps for their own ends.

Sir Willink also noticed the willingness of SW almajiris to open up SHADOWY fronts, in their attempt to undermine the Igbos. The committee noted that in their report for posterity sake. Every Igboman must always refer to that, whenever these sort of articles and video clips come up. Remember what Willink wrote about Yorubas.

So I am not at all bothered by this.

Now going to the point that deals with a multi-ethnic Biafra. If this whole SW almajiri shenanigan, with a few of their willing tools in the SS, is meant to intimidate Igbos out of seeking Biafra, then they have totally misfired.
Quite a lot of Igbos are not even interested in a multi-ethnic Biafra as that will introduce back into Biafra, a huge chunk of the suspicions that were given birth to, in Nigeria. It will also bring in some of the minority characters, that have made themselves willing tools of the north and SW into destabilizing Biafra. I don't need another Ken Saro Wiwa character in Biafra, so it makes absolute sense for Igboland to go it alone. If the minorities want a nation of their own, as is likely to be the case, they will have unadulterated support from Biafra.

When I write Igboland, I mean Igboland in both the SS and SE

Your attempts at rewriting history won't work! Chief Harold Dappa Biriye, God bless his soul. The grand Bonny kingdom, the Ijaw nation and the Niger Delta region needs to do more in remembrance of him. He was a visionary, he saw the Igbo problem long before the rest of the society caught up with it.

The sad thing is, like your grandfathers and fathers, there is no remorse in you for the crimes you committed. Today Nnamdi Kanu makes it known to anyone who cares to listen that you will adopt same human rights abuse methods.

You keep on living in denial! Willinks report encompassed Ijaws in both the Eastern and Western region. Why is it that the Igbo were strongly against a region for the Ijaw? Willinks admitted that the Ijaws had genuine concerns due to their peculiar nature.

To their credit, the resistance from Awolowo's action group was indifferent. Azikiwe was the one who forcefully opposed Biriye.

That eventually led to Biriye leaving the NCNC to form the NDC.

mindtricks:
The highighted, well said my dear.
But please avoid abusive words.

I don't recollect using abusive words against you. It is not in my nature to do that unless provoked.

How did the whole debt come about? Is it due to 'slave contracts' they signed with her or they borrowed her money?!!?

UdechiHD:
Mods the Op posted false information with this video. Someone has called your attention to this fact. Watch the video and you see fake news painted in black and white.

What is the fake news?

Bonessaw:
So na 2015 election video you carry come here — Wike vs Amaechi/Peterside. You come use black and white design am like say na old documentary.
If you want to trend your yeye Kalabari YouTube TV ask for help. Don’t come out to spew trash with the interview of your village people.

Something must be wrong with you!

Where did you see Jonathan, Wike or Peterside?

Stop trying to deflect this issue.

Isn't it weird?
This SERAP has never filed a case against the Nigerian army or navy when host communities in Rivers state or any of the other states in the region are abused to promote NNPC's interests.

This goes to show we the Niger Deltans barely have friends in Nigeria, most of the ethnic nations in Nigeria are enemies!

Daddysidhan:
It is a lie, Igbo can't do such because they are a very nice, good and never do bad bunch of saints. The man narrating that story is a Yoruba man and he looks like LEGEND HERO the Igbo and Biafra hater. Awon werey Omo nna Una don buy market, this is exactly what they have in mind for western Nigeria trying to invade through ORE and when we push back awon oloriburuku called us traitors. They want to enslave our fathers and mothers because of greed God punish any Igbo Man on this forum that tries to justified what was done to this pakana people.

It is a pity Igbo people are still living in denial of the crimes they committed. Apart from Bakana, senator George Sekibo's community suffered similar fate. His father, a non-combatant was killed by the Biafran rebels. He documented all of that in his autobiography. Lots of different accounts pointing to horrendous war crimes committed by the Igbo.

I am an Ijaw man, short and simple.

This MUST stand! If needs be the masses should protest in support of Buhari.

9jaDoomCountry:
This is the useless narrative that has plagued this people and made them slaves to the northern marauders.

Imagine nonsense. They were evacuated and taken to Igbo land for what purpose exactly. These people are only good in local gin and women.


Saro Wiwa had worse hatred for the Igbos and his good friend rewarded him accordingly.

Keep enjoying your romance with the Fulanis

On the contrary, it is people like you who have made the Fulani relevant in the past and are still making them relevant in the present.

RuggedSniper:
@PHijo... This historic Nigerian Civil War video
and topic from Kalabari TV on the 1968 rebel deportation, atrocities and attack on the over 12,000 Bakana people should be posted in the POLITICS thread of NL and NOT in the GENERAL thread to gain more readership and comments ASAP. Adaka Boro and other great men and women led by Benjamin Adekunle of the 3rd Marine Commando of the Nigerian Army liberated Bonny, PH, Calabar and other Niger Delta towns and villages with gusto!
I watched the whole video and it tallies with the info that I've read on the Civil War since the 1980s.
The Ibibios and Efiks who rejected the rebels and secession from Nigeria also suffered the same gory dfate as Bakana until the Nigerian Army liberated them.

Ok, I understand you. I was thinking this was the appropriate place to post it.

Get yourself something to do, work, if there is none, read a book! Just do something, do something that will help you mind your business.

Funke Akindele is probably a better businesswoman, at least when it comes to filmmaking as a business.

Let's learn to appreciate all of them. They've all paid their dues. There is no need trying to create bad blood in people that may even be friends or admire themselves mutually.

May his soul Rest in Peace and may God comfort his family and the entire Ndigbo and grant them the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.

Indeed Ndigbo have lost a great man. A man that that built Ndigbo to greatness.

He will always be remembered.

A great loss to the Ijaw nation, to the Kalabari clan, Akuku Toru LGA and Abonnema in particular.

Islamic fundamentalists are in charge of Aso Rock. From president to spokesman, they are all Islamic fundamentalists.

No wonder his principal was the only human Boko Haram could trust.

Nigerian soldiers cry curse, their superiors and the institution after an ambush in the North east, Nigeria's epicentre of Islamic terrorism.

Namibia: Nam's Youngest MP & Deputy Minister Takes Office
FacebookTwitterWhatsAppFlipboardLinkedInRedditEmailShare

The Namibian
Emma Theofilus, Namibia's information and technology deputy minister
24 MARCH 2020 The Namibian (Windhoek)
By Charmaine Ngatjiheue
RECENTLY appointed information and technology deputy minister, Emma Theofilus might have her work cut out for her, but says she is ready for the task.

The 23-year-old became Namibia's youngest member of parliament. A law graduate, Theofilus was part of president Hage Geingob's list of eight non-voting members announced on Sunday and sworn in yesterday.

Her ascendancy to the deputy ministerial position has had many people questioning her experience and suitability for the post, but Theofilus confidently shot down such assertions, noting that anyone is able to learn, understand and acquaint themselves with the task at hand to be able to do a job.

"I do not think I am special, but I do not think I am inexperienced, and I do not think being young or female has anything to do with my appointment. Anything I set myself to and any environment I want to work into, I can do it; so the issue of inexperience does not hold any water," she stressed.

She is female, an MP, 23..

When will we hear these kind of news in Nigeria?

Don't tell me Nigeria is young, he country is only 30 or thereabout.

Does anyone on this forum still use 2go? If so, why?

Nigeria's government is a joke! The joke of the century.
