SlayerForever:
Forget o. This minority Igbos have their heads deep deep deep in their asses. Don't be surprised if some opt to join a minority country like Niger Delta republic.

Very False.

EdoDefence:
Yes we accept it whole heartedly, we are working towards a homogeneous nation

A landlocked homogeneous nation right?

EdoDefence:
Why is it that most of you think being part of a big nation is the ultimate? Edo will join no one.

China is bigger that Nigeria 50x why don't Nigeria join China?

Singapore is smaller than Lagos but better than the whole of Nigeria.

Ẹdo people want peace and continuation of our culture

Edo is landlocked pls

jerseyboy:
May God bless you and your generations for eternity.
The people of the former Mid-West Region are in the process of declaring their own country.

Which midwest pls?

I hope u are not planning to add IGBOs in Delta state into ur new country.

SenatePresdo:
What about Republic of Niger-Delta Map?

Niger delta does not exist...

EdoDefence:
Continuing this bro will lead us to an unending argument for Igbanke and a lot of other tribes in Delta, Bayelsa and cross river all trace their ancestry to Benin and claim to be Benins as well

No tribe in the SS trace their ancestry to Bini pls.

Idiko1:
I do not give ratass about who claims ancestral lineage to Bini. All I care about is Igbo land which is not negotiable. Anybody from Igbo land who claimed ancestry from Bini shall be evacuated to Bini in a jiffy.

U, My Brother, Is an aggressive bad guy. I like that

WesternOligarch:
The oba of Benin would decide that, also the olu of warri.

Olu and Oba does not decide for people

ivandragon:
Most Biafran agitators sound like land grabbers & bullies.

You all talk about your right to your own country but you don't want to hear dissenting opinions of those in other lands who do not wish to be part of your country.

A Biafra in the mold of NK would be one of oppression & dictatorship. Once you challenge NK, he will probably assassinate such a person.

U sound like an afonja unity beggar

Idiko1:
Most Nigerians tend to show their ignorance on a jiffy. The so-called South-South does not own any land. However the ethnic nationalities own lands. Ndigbo know their ancestral land boundaries and the claim to the land is not negotiable. The states Gowon created did not change the composition of the ethnic stripes or coloration of lands. An Igbo person in Akwa Ibom or Cross River or Benue or Edo or Kogi or Bayelsa State has the same ethnic composition of Igbo person from Imo, Abia, Rivers, Delta, Ebonyi, Enugu or Anambra State.

there is no Igbo in Akwa Ibom state

EdoDefence:
And neither do I give a fvck about where Ibo land reaches, as far as Ẹdo is concerned those tribes are Benins and if you want to contest it go offline and act like a man not behind keyboards

It's quite a shameful act for someone to be dragging members of other tribes to join him...cant u exist without igbanke IGBOakiri IGBO?

ggood:
there is no Igbo in Akwa Ibom state

jerseyboy:
Where you dey buy your weed?

I read a New York Times story from their 1961 archives with the headline that stated that the people of South Cameroon voted to leave Nigeria because they do not want to be in the same country as Igbos.

Show evidence that u read this in New York times.

Fear Of Igbo Aggression Grips Niger Delta Tribes

Their is palpable fear of Igbo aggression as the many tribes of the Niger Delta contemplate their future should in case Nigeria dissolves. Itsekiris, Uhrobos, Ijaws look and see an IPOB approved map that includes of all places, Warri. How? The Biafrans have a theory to about every land in the Niger Delta. Only Edo State is sometimes but not completely spared.

Where did this insane appetite come from?

The case of Anioma and Ikwere is on a completely different level of insanity. Take Anioma. They have never been part of the Esatern anything. They started out as part of the Western region, became part of the Mid-West Region at the only opportunity to decide for themselves in a referendum, they chose by 93% (the highest margin of any division) to be Mid-West. Anioma did not say in 1963 that they were Igbos and wanted to join Eastern Region. In any case it had become obvious that the East and the North unlike the West were not going to allow their minorities to have new regions. The simple truth is Anioma is not Igbo. Anioma is not Benin. Anioma is Anioma, a unique people on their own with a distinct identity and many share heritage from their neighbors in all directions. All these are irrelevant to the Biafrans. Without consultations and despite of protestation Anioma has been conscripted into Biafra. Ojukwu captured the Mid-West and declared Anioma part of the 1 day Republic of Benin, not Biafra.

The case of Ikwere is much the same. There is substantial evidence that there are enough Ikweres that are not just dead set against Biafra but being referred to as Igbos that any such annexation at best is fraught with perpetual crisis. This has never been of consideration to the Biafrans.

Meanwhile different strategies are being put in place by the various nationalities to define their own destiny. One group, The Mid-West movement is seeking a Bendel Republic for the people of the old Mid-West Region which already has conducted a referendum for its creation and plan on conducting another to exit Nigeria. In a video conference meeting of May 5, 2021 the group pledged to fund arm purchase for local militias across what will be Bendel Republic in readiness to repel a for certain Biafran aggression.

Another group on the east of the delta have revive the idea of COR Republic consisting of the people of old Calabar, Ogaja and Rivers Provinces. What has kicked activities in high gear is the denigrating manner in which the IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu speaks of the Niger Delta. If you listen to the tone and content of Kanu's broadcasts Biafra becomes a very scary place for any southern minority. One can see why even some Igbo would not want to live in such a country. Kanu's declarations are absolute. Any deviation from some obvious absurdities of his and you're a slowpoke. Nnamdi Kanu is a man of great courage and a hero to any who seek freedom. But Kanu is a scary character to his Niger Delta neighbors and so are Igbos lately. The fear is that Igbo inordinate ambitions borne out of pure emotions will lead to wars in the Niger Delta post Nigeria,

Let everyone choose their destination, FREELY.

Fake false news.

kollinzgee:
Unless the country is restructured in less than 5 years i dont see Nigeria existing.
i dont see igbos grabbing niger delta tribes by force but they will definitely go for the south south igbos from delta down to Rivers wether it is with force or with peace i dont really know how.
igbos know southeast is small,and it makes no sense that that igbo speakers are ceded to the southsouth while southeast is not even as big as some states in the north.if southeast igbos lay claim to south south igbos no tribe in the Niger delta would interfere or wage war against igbos because it would be every man for himself and a family afair, when the time comes

op I will encourage you take elementary six exam again who knows you may pass the exam this time

Dis one u are struggling to make irrelevant topics in nairand is really show ur improvement

SenatePresdo:
Yes.

This map is Nigerian propaganda.

ivandragon:
The one I find most interesting is that of the Edos...

When Biafra map is done, Edo is not included.

When Oduduwa map is done, no Edo.

Middle belt Map, no Edo...

So if Nigeria breaks up, will Edo become its own country?

In the event of a break up, I forsee Edo State becoming a Switzerland or Luxemburg... Neutral & prosperous...

That’s because most of you are ignorant of your own history. Edo and Delta will be part of whatever the former Western Region decides to become.

ivandragon:
I know NK talks of referendum, but the referendum he talks about is that of the East pulling out if Nigeria.

If he was going to do one to determine which ethnic groups want to join Biafra, then he won't already have a map that clearly includes non-igbo areas.

Also, the harsh rhetoric & violence pushed by NK puts Igbos in other parts of the country at risk. A leader looks out for his people & puts them in danger.

This post is just a mixup of lies n half truths

helinues:
The civil was was tagged Biafra war cos Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu and Emmanuel Ifeajuna are from old Eastern region which is now present day SS and SE..

If you don't the war to be tagged as Biafra war, then stop talking about any land in SS

Wow, you guys are dumb as hell it’s not even funny anymore.

ivandragon:
How many Igbos have said so?

By your submission I should listen to only the loudmouthed coward who enjoys the good life abroad & pushes gullible followers to their deaths?

As much as people are entitled to self determination, those who chose to lead such self determination should have the cojones to stay & fight.

IGBOs worldwide want biafra, no one if forcing them.

Be guided

ivandragon:
No one in the south is disputing the fact that the contraption we have today called Nigeria has serious issues.

But like you pointed out, NK's negotiation skills are less than ideal given the socio-demographic circumstances of the Igbos.

He is pushing for a war that he cannot win but he seems ready to sacrifice millions of lives to achieve his objectives.

The division of Nigeria can be achieved without bloodshed, it will take time, but it will come. However NK wants to ensure it comes early enough so he can 'rule' Biafra for a long time...

Nnamdi Kanu has openly said n sworn several times that he will never ever rule biafra.

He said he will deliver biafra n stand aside, he said he wants to use it as an opportunity to teach his people ultimate sacrifice

Jagunlabiodua:
Oduduwa owns Benin and Delta and will make sure they are brought into the up coming Oduduwa republic. This is Western Nigeria, Yoruba territory. The Eastern region doesn’t include Edo and Delta.

Biafra includes all IGBOs.

About 10 local govt areas in delta state are IGBO.

bjdon:
Nobody lords anything over the Esans, we do not roll like that in Edo. All the groups in Edo state, acknowledge the supremacy of the Oba, we are a very traditional state and don't need outsiders to tell us about our traditions and institutions. There will be no crisis in Edo state as there was none when we were Midwest region and Bendel state. Other regioins should face there issues and leave the Edo's alone.

IGBOs (IGBANKE) in Edo don't recognize d Oba

Owologbo:
You don't know what you are saying.
Igbo didn't unite SS.
And you following Biafra without any signed agreement will be the worst decision of your life.
you a minority following Biafra without agreement is equivalent to committing suicide.
The oppression from the north against the south will be a child play

Afonja unity beggar spotted

ivandragon:
Based on the political structure of Nigeria, yes.

But if you look at the way Biafra & Oduduwa Republics are mapped, almost all their boundaries seem to stop just outside Edo state.

Though I am yet to see a Niger Delta Republic map which would be interesting...

Niger delta does not exist.

Owologbo:
Yooloba bloda from where?
I'm a Deltan.
can you use Delta State as an example to show me where Igbos are in-between two other tribes?

Delta From which tribe?

jerseyboy:
Niger Delta "Igbo" Cant Give Biafra Direct Sea Access Because Of These Tribes

There is an Igbo obsession with the Atlantic Ocean almost to the point of neuroses. This has led to the forceful conscription of all peoples with moonlight fable links of their Igboid ancestry into Biafra, such as the still puzzled Esan people of Ubiaja in Edo State who suddendly woke up one day to discover they are Igbo.

The problem is even if for agreement sake all these Igbo claimed peoples were to agree (Impossibility) to be Biafra, Biafra still wont be an Atlantic Nation as none of these tribes seat on the Atlantic Ocean.

Take the case of Rivers State. In the unlikely event that the the less than 500,000 Ikweres allow themselves to be dragged into Biafra, the direct sea access will still be blocked by the below tribes that include Ogonis, Ijaws, Kalabaris who are all sitting right on the ocean and will never give up their land.

My advise to those seeking Biafra is to focus on the 5 state of South East to be taking serious.

There will be a Yoruba Nation.
Their will be 1 or 2 Niger Delta Nations.
There will be an Igbo Nation, it just wont be this Biafran hallucinations.

Igbos are becoming very scary people to Southern minorities as it is becoming certain that Nigeria will dissolve.

Coronabirus:
A child with fish brain is someone who always give example with countries whose attitude, characters, lifestyle, exposure, education, level of reasoning, system of govt is totally different from black race.
If USSR, Malaysia and Singapore took those decisions then what can u say abt Spain-Catalunia long aged secession, Ethiopia-Tigray current secession that brought disaster to their people?

But u forgot Ethopia-Eritrea....Sudan-South Sudan, Namibia-White south africans (Dutch and British)

As for Catalonia, their fight for independence is recent and it will still happen without war.

Be wise n stop.begging for unity

Bundaweber:
leve them!!! those cheering for secession are the ones who could not claim revelance/leadership position within the current set up. in their delusion or is it arrogance they believe that if their wish occurs they will become leaders

Dont be a dolt sir, Agitation for independence has lasted for decades,has zero.connection with relevant leadership position.

Dont be a dolt

Can you imagine? People are already crying as if op's trash is a reality. Going to USA
