AlphikkaTech: Unfortunately, there is no "we" when it comes to tye so called Niger Delta. What does a Bini man know about an Ogoja man? Nothing What does an Ijaw man know about an Efik man? Nothing What does an Uhrobo man know about an Ibibio man? Nothing So where is this Niger Delta we are are talking about? Niger Delta is just something concocted by Abacha to some ignorant people a false sense of security 1 Like |

christistruth01:where can we read it? From what I understand so far, Nigeria is an ally to Rivers state and the Ijaw nation. The creation of Rivers state is one of the actions they needed to know Nigeria is on their side. Another noteworthy act is the release of Isaac Adaka Boro from detention. There can never be a Biafra with the original Eastern region borders |

AdakaBoro8: I have never heard of a country emerge out of nowhere. People have to agitate for a country There is agitation for Biafra, there sre groups such as IPOB and MASSOB. We have all seen their international and local rallies There is agitation for Oduduwa, there are groups such as Yoruba one voice and Oduaa Nation championing that. We have seen their rallies, even recently in Ibadan There is not one single agitation for Niger Delta Republic by any ethnic group or any organisation. No even one single rally. How will a country emerge when nobody is agitating for it? I laugh in Chinese |

Igboid:My brother, He is Ikwerre. And Ikwerre by general definition of ethnic identity is Igbo. Ikwerre is a sub Igbo dialect. Rotimi Amaechi never denied his Igbo ancestry. And he is at war with anybody denying him his Igbo ancestry. He's in same local government with the weird Wike, a lackey of feudal establishment. Wike rose on the goodwill of Igbos to become Governor. And, now he is denying them. Time will tell! |

Omodua: Ikwerre is not Igbo. God forbid. Ala ekwekwala ngwere gbaa aji! Alu! Rotimi is a scammer looking for Igbo votes. We sensible Igbos will not allow you emotional ones Allow a Bini Ikwerre man like Rotimi swindle us. Anywhere I meet Ikwerre person claiming Igbo, I make it a point of duty to personally disgrace them as impostors and scammers they are. Any Igbo organization that I'm a part of, and they stupidly allow an Ikwerre person to be a member,I would stand up and oppose it and try to get my brothers expel the scammer.if they don't, I usually leave the group. I do that on online forums too. Ndiigbo must stop letting scammers use our emotions to manipulate us. These people are liability, they have nothing to offer us. We should be littering them straight up. 4 Likes |

christistruth01:1. Achebe is not an ethnic warlord, he was never part of or headed any group who involved in violent agitation for the self determination of his own ethnic group like Saro Wiwa did with MOSOP. 2. Some aspects of his book are disputed and different version of events given by others and that's why there is the necessity of corroboration of events by other historians. Like I said earlier, you can't dispute the asaba massacre, neither can you dispute the pogroms nor the blockade of Biafra because these have been recorded and corroborated by all major historians of the war. Saro Wiwa can't just come up with a fantastic and unbelievable tale which only him remembers. It is easier for me to believe that the events never happened than for me to believe that an event of such magnitude occurred and yet Saro wiwa was the only one that knew about it. |

By Alabo Abiye Akkio-abbey As a Rivers man who saw the events of 1967-1970 and who was old enough to understand them, this protest in Port Harcourt is a slap on true Rivers indigenes. and the memory of ALL the Rivers men and women who were slaughtered in the pogroms and ethnic cleansing committed during the civil war by the Biafran Army. Let us remind ourselves of the TRUE facts and REAL reasons behind the secession and subsequent civil war. Ojukwu and his cohorts decided to secede from Nigeria because Gowon broke up the regions and created Rivers State among the 12 states he created. Remember the Aburi accord? Article 4 of that accord had to do with the breaking up of the regions. On the 27th of May, 1967, Gowon broke up the Regions, from the then Eastern Region and carved out Rivers, South-Eastern and East-Central states. 3 days later on 30th May, 1967 Ojukwu seceded citing the Aburi accord. ON ABURI WE STAND!! The rallying war cry of the day. How anyone who calls himself/herself a Rivers indigene support tacitly or otherwise the so-called Biafra cause when Biafra seceeded just because Rivers State was created and the Rivers people for once had a right to self rule? In the quest for a sovereign country did the Igbo majority seek, discuss with or solicit the support of the minorities in the Oil Rivers and South-East?? Where is Biafra? How do you seek for a country which was susequently named Biafra WITHOUT involving the indigenous people of Biafra? Isn't that supreme arrogance or maybe they were not included because they were meant to be wiped out later. Events proved the latter to be true. Late Chief (Dr.) Nabo Graham-Douglas who was the Attorney General of the Eastern Region was sent on compulsory leave and exiled to his home town Abonnema with orders for him to be executed. Fortunately the plans leaked and he miraculously escaped. He didn't draw the Articles of secession and only heard about Biafra from the BBC journalists who came to interview him in Abonnema. He was one of the lucky ones. The ethnic cleansing began in earnest. Our intelligentsia; top civil servants, technocrats and other able bodied men and women were rounded up and summarily executed in Enugu, Owerri, Aba, Umuahia, Degema, Buguma, Bakana, to mention but a few towns/cities. In Port Harcourt, Rainbow town and Igritta, became killing fields. the bones of those victims still lie there These atrocities were committed by the Biafran Army, against people who were supposed to be fighting the same cause with them. In a bid to wipe out the minority tribes, our towns and villages were evacuated, our men put to slave labour and later on shot (reminiscent of Nazi Germany), our women taken as sex slaves, young boys shared the same fate as the men. Bakana, Bille, Abonnema were all forcefully evacuated. Finally, when the Nigerian Army counter attacked and liberated Port Harcourt, the retreating Biafran Army, burnt Kingsway (now Supabod building), Nabo Graham-Douglas's law library (which was the best Law library in the whole of West Africa) and other land marks in the Garden city. Of what military significance were these acts?? I don't blame the misguided ill-informed people for trampling on the graves of those who were murdered by the Biafran Army, by protesting in Port Harcourt. I blame Gowon for forbidding accounts of the war being published after the war, but more importantly for not trying war criminals (like Col Ojeh of Degema) within the Biafran Army and holding them accountable for their inhuman and murderous actions during the war. 70 years after World War 2, we are still reminded on a daily basis the atrocities that the Nazi's committed. If Gowon had done what he was morally and duty bound to do, this matter of Biafra would have been put to rest once and for all. By the way, in May 1968, my uncle (my mother's younger brother) was shot in his Warri street residence in Port Harcourt, his corpse butchered, his flesh sold as Biafra meat in Mile 1 market. That same day the Nigerian Army opened up and started shelling Port Harcourt, which was ultimately liberated Are those protesting and the other supporters of "Biafra" aware of these facts?? The war has been over these past 45 years, we are forging on as a country, setting aside our ethnocentric issues. That Ex-Biafrans have been assimilated into all spheres of our society (as they should), without any punishment meted out to the war criminals among them, doesn't give anyone the right to re-write history or bring these painful memories back.

Masterito: https://m.facebook.com/naijainfoman/posts/1139807712715827 https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.afraf.a097919 THE BIAFRAN CRISIS AND THE MIDWEST - Oxford Academic RETHINKING BIAFRA THURSDAY, 25 OCTOBER 2012 BIAFRAN WAR CRIMES : HORROR IN THE MIDWEST : A PRESENTATION OF THE FINDINGS OF S.E OROBATOR When you are crying because you were hurt in a fight, it is meaningful to see what your opponent also suffered. When you insist that you alone suffered, you might need to be informed you are not alone in suffering. When you use your belief that you alone suffer to try to compel people to behave as you want, those other people need to go out of their way to educate you. Propaganda driven by some Igbos who have not recovered from the defeat of Biafra wants to compel Nigeria into a position of sole or central responsibility for the horrors of the Nigerian Civil War of 1967 -1970. This effort at compulsion is accompanied by threats of violence, vengeance and prophecies of doom for Nigeria. One of these efforts at forcing others to behave as these people want is the loud cry that did not commit any war crimes. Biafra is thus depicted as a saintly enterprise and Nigeria as the absolute villain. I have made it my business to investigate and bring these war crimes to light. I am collecting both published documents and eyewitness accounts from various sources. As I discover them, I will make them available to the public and address any questions and challenges that arise. All findings will also be posted at the All findings will be distributed through the following platforms: 1. Various African and Nigerian centred liserves 2. Rethinking Biafra blog, (http://rethinkingbiafra..co.uk/) 3. Rethinking Biafra Facebook page(https://www.facebook.com/RethinkingBiafra) 4. the Rethinking Biafra document collection on Scribd 5. The Compcros Facebook page 6. My Facebook Notes 7. My Scribd account I have already distributed two reports on Biafran war crimes, one from the Oputa Panel of Inquiry and another from an academic paper on rapes in Midwestern Nigeria during the war, the Midwest being a zone invaded by Biafra. I will respond to any critiques of these documents as soon as I am free. I present here a moving account on Biafran atrocities in the Midwest, by historian S.E Orobator. Orobator's essay is attached to this mail and posted at the Rethinking Biafra Scribd account and my Scribd account. Orobator was in Benin, the capital of the Midwest, at the time of the Biafran invasion, and describes himself as keenly aware of developments during the period . He later conducted research on the invasion and went on to become a professor of history, specializing in international relations. The essay is "The Biafran Crisis and the Midwest". Published in African Affairs, Vol. 86, No. 344 (Jul., 1987), pp. 367-383. Published by: Oxford University Press on behalf of The Royal African Society. Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/722748 . The entire essay on the Biafran misadventure in the Midwest is moving in its analysis of what the Biafrans lost through the invasion in terms of goodwill as well as in creating a situation that united the Midwest with the Federal forces against Biafra in the subsequent events that marked the turning point of the war. I will present Orobator's summation of the cost of the invasion to Biafra in another mail . I post below an extract from the essay. The most relevant sections on Biafran war crimes are highlighted: "The relationship between the two sides deteriorated progressively and the Biafran efforts to secure the people's support failed. The battle front reports were equally unfavourable to the Biafrans who then resorted to extensive witch-hunting against suspected saboteurs. The Biafran forces, who were relatively calm during the first one month of the occupationperiod, became progressively edgy, tightening the various governmental gadgets of societal control. As the Biafran hostility developed to crisis proportions, the dusk to dawn curfew was further enforced, the Vigilance and Security Councils given additional powers, and the Biafran Army and Militia became more ruthless in their dealings with the civilians. The civilian collaborators doubled their spying activities to callous dimensions. [45] The situation drifted for the worse. Taking the MidWestern refusal to support the secessionist movement as a demonstration of an anti-Ibo and pro-Hausa stance, the Biafrans intensified their search for suspected saboteurs as every set-back on the battle front was invariably blamed on sabotage. Heavier reprisals followed. At Abudu, over 300 bodies, including those of children, were found in the Ossiomo river as the Biafrans withdrew. [46] Similarly, on 20 September 1967, 'there was a mass killing of non-Ibo MidWesterners at Boji-Boji Agbor', and on 23 September, 'non-Ibo speaking MidWesterners were apprehended by rebel soldiers at Asaba, Ibusa and Agbor and taken [in two lorries] to a rubber plantation along Uromi-Agbor road and massacred'.[47] The more minor cases of rape, extortion, seizure of properties, and other punishments featured abundantly. For instance, a Warri-based lawyer, E. K. Iseru, testified at the Tribunal that he was stripped naked and detained for three days without food for agitating for the Rivers State, and, when he complained of hunger, he was promptly told: 'there is no food for Hausa friends'.
