Biafra Republic And Niger Delta Republic by Captain8(m): 8:23am On Mar 09, 2023 |
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu is a Nigerian who fought on the opposition camp against Nigeria during the civil war. It is safe to say he started the civil war with his declaration of a biafra as a federation. What many people don't know is that before this civil war, there was another, that was short lived. As a matter of fact, it lasted for only 12 days. This was led by Major Isaac Boro Adaka. Major Isaac Boro Adaka popularly called Boro, was born on the 10th of September, 1938. He is the son of a missionary school head. So Boro had a formal education up to the university level. As a matter of fact he was the SUG president (number one student) of the university of Nigeria Nsuka as at then. Isaac Boro was from the oil rich land of olobiri, in present day Bayelsa. Then, those areas were all under what is called the 'eastern region', which was then headed by the military governor 1954.. Guess who the millitary governor was? Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu. Yes our very own Ojukwu. the capital of the eastern region was in Enugu state. Despite the fact that the Ijaw region produces the oil, they were sidelined by the Aguiyi Ironsi military led administration, Irrespective of the fact that Adaka Boro niger delta region laid the Golden egg, dim Ojukwu didn't mind or consider them. This caused major Isaac Boro to abandon his studies in his finals, to lead an arm protest against the government of Aguiyi Ironsi, over the poor treatment melted out to his people... before this, Ijaw elder, Dapper Biriye had moved a motion to carved the niger delta or Rivers state out of the Igbo dominated eastern region just as the Yorubas carved out the other niger deltas from their western region to have their midwest, but the Igbos rejected it... When all political peaceful movements by Dapper Biriye went abortive, the declaration of the niger delta Republic became the only means... Adaka Boro see the only way to freed Ijaw from the eastern region was to leave nigeria entirely, so he declared the niger delta Republic on february 29 1966, This republic lasted only 12days because aguiyi ironsi and ojukwu ordered the whole Nigeria military strength on them... Aguiyi ironsi the military president of nigeria and Ojukwu the military governor of eastern region killed 150 Ijaw youths and arrested Adaka Boro and sentenced him to death by hanging.. two brothers, of ironsi and Ojukwu won the short war for nigeria...unknowing to ojukwu he will also declared republic.. Boro was in prison waiting for his death, but God heard the cry of Ijaws as counter coup from North killed aguiyi ironsi and brought Yakubu Gown to power, released Adaka Boro from prison... not did Gowon released Adaka Boro, he also created the Rivers state out of the Eastern region for Adaka Boro and his people... This was a dream come true for Adaka Boro.. Later the Igbos massacred in The north and the creation of the old River state out of the eastern region by Yakubu Gowon made ojukwu and his people got angry, because they felt, the oil rich Oloibiri was no longer part of their eastern region again..... The frustrated ojukwu got angry at Gowon for breaching the aburi accord, by creating the oil Rich Rivers state out of his eastern region, so ojukwu without blink of eyes declared the Republic of biafra and forcefully included the already created Adaka Boro's Rivers state... This criminal act from ojukwu made Boro got angry, so with help from Gowon, Boro trained his 1,000 Rivers soldiers of Ijaw extraction and fought the biafran forces. Boro and his 1,000 Rivers men got lot of success in the war as they killed thousands of biafran forces and evicted all biafrans out of the River state... 10 months into fight Adaka Boro already got lot of success. he recaptured all territories captured by the conquest biafran forces in River state.... but the mighy hero was killed on a mysterious circumstances at Okrika... No one know who killed the hero, opinion were divided as some said it was a lone biafra soldier who shot him from hideout, while others said it was adekunle Benjamin the nigeria military leader who ambushed him for jealous of his success in the war... Who really killed the hero? Adaka Boro was not just hero but a prophet because he saw today nigeria which everyone refused to see... Adaka Boro was not just hero and prophet but also a saviour.. Adaka Boro will forever lives in our heart. He freed us from biafra and the demonic eastern region. Adaka Boro will forever be remembered in history. 4 Likes |

Biafra was never our problem Adaka Boro was deceived Since after the war which people have been controling our Niger Delta oil? Northerners and westerners! How many oil wells do Igbos own? How many oil wells do we Niger Deltans own? They've turned us to petty oil well and pipeline guards All the head offices of all the oil companies in our lands are they in ìgbo land? They're all in Lagos and Abuja! OP I don't know who you are As long as we respect Adaka Boro as a person He chose a wrong fight Biafrans were never the enemies Who killed him? Most likely He was betrayed by major Adekunle who was at that time in competition with him over moving from rivers upwards 5 Likes 2 Shares |

They have come again with worthless news. Biafra was the name given to Ojukwu by a learned IJAW man (Opigo). Many of the generals/ GOC of Biafran Army were from “minority/south-south” areas… as well as top civilian officials. Prior to “Nigeria” independence, many of these “Minority/South-South” women went to war with Ngwa Women in Aba 1929…. Prior to that went to war against British criminal colonialist, and so for and so on…. That was Biafra. Boro fought for and was killed by NIGERIA then… Simple |

Ironsi an Igbo man was the one that changed from regional government to the federal system of government we have today? And this one too: "before Ojuku declared the republic of biafra in may 1967 Isaac Adaka Boro had declared the niger delta republic in february 1966. Boro had formed the niger delta volunteer force an armed militia with members consisting mainly of his fellow ethnic group declared the niger delta republic on february 23 1966 and fought nigeria's federal forces for 12 days but they were eventually defeated and then jailed by the Ironsi federal military government [and Ojuku eastern governor] for treason" But it was Gowon that later set Boro free and Boro later became a major in the Nigeria army. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVRx3RhN3XE 1 Like |
