They started killing everything that comes from both South South and South East up north and you run back to your villages. Nigerian government then unleashed hunger seige on the overflowing population of returnees that one no do you. Now the man incharge of the South said he's taking his people out of Nigeria to also save you from imminent destruction from the north but your problem is that they should not force you to agree. Just imagine, under military regime o. So, after many years how are you fairing living in the defeated state you aided Nigerian northern troops to achieve. One day the South East will still secede and will accommodate the coastal States. Any objection to that will obliterate the entire country to Oblivion. You can't landlock a major Ethnic group because they named you South South. You either join them or create coastal part for their trade route. 2 Likes |

My dad used to tell us about the atrocities of Igbos in Akwa Cross during the civil war, the Igbos were poisoning our streams and well water, killing mostly the young males, and renaming our villages and towns to make it become Biafra land. Only a foolish person would trust the Igbos. The Hausas are better than the Igbos. Igbos are similar to the Fulani people who are territorial in nature and must never be given any opportunity to rule Nigeria again. That I bear Emeka does not make me an Igbo person so Igbos should be reminded that there is no Igbo peopke in the South South. Should Nigeria divide, the South South will be determine which country to join and not Igbos. Biafra is for Abia, Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi and Anambra. No Akwa Ibom/Cross River is interested in that shitty Biafra so count us of out. Our land is naturally blessed more than Igbo land and should we become a country we can manage our resources more than the Igbos cuz Akwa Ibom people are good managers, that is why Akwa Ibom is growing faster than all the Igbos states and our successive governors ahead of all the Igbos governor dead and alive. Akwa Ibom is endowed with a number of mineral resources e.g Uranium, Oil and gas, Limestone, Lead/Zinc, Lignite, Salt, glass sand giver nitrate, Rich arable land for farming etc. IGBOS SHOULD NEVER IN THEIR LIFE CLAIM THAT AKWA IBOM IS PART OF THAT ONLINE COUNTRY. WE CAN BE GOOD TRADING PARTNERS BUT CAN NEVER BE PART OF BIAFRA. 10 Likes 1 Share |

fuckuigbos:keep quiet I'm Ibibio and I can never ever fall for this trash write up. We all know the useless propaganda, especially people like u.. All those crimes committed in the write up were perpetrated by NA, disguised as Biafran soldiers some of them even dressed up like Catholic priests as missionaries just to invade villages we have a full account of their atrocities and history never lies They raped our women and killed our young men How can Philip Effiong the Number 2 after Ojukwu allow all those atrocities happen by his Biafran troops in his territory. Effiong is from Akwa ibom so you do the analysis. All these useless write up just to divide SS/SE won't work and it's Stale. By the way Peter Obi is our INLAW yea his Wife is from AKWA IBOM IBIBIO so no amount of propaganda will divide us. 5 Likes 1 Share |

fuckuigbos: Nigeria is going to collapse and disintegrate. Do you know why? Nothing holds it together. Nigeria has no unity, no commonality of purpose, no foundation and built on injustice The country is heading no where except disintegration When Nigeria finally collapses we Igbos are going form our own separate country. What Ibibios, Efiks, Ijaws and others do is their own business The process of breaking up has already started, large chunks of the North is already in the hands armed hoodlums 5 Likes |

richmond500: Lol, when the term SE/SS is used, there are cogent reasons for it. It's similar to the phrase Hausa/Fulani. The people of both regions are Christians and share similar worldviews. Again, there are significant percentage of Igbos/Igboid in SS. If SS and SE agree to use the term in cohesion, I don't see how it benefits Igbos alone. Talking about victims of war, I don't think the minorities suffered in isolation or were targeted by Igbos. That's not true. Many Igbos were also forcefully conscripted into the Biafran army when the war dragged on. It's similar to what is happening in Ukraine. Any country fighting a war will definitely forcefully conscript men if they realize that no one is voluntarily willing to join the army. Also, during any war, especially a bitter civil war like that of Biafra/Nigeria. Desperate measures are always taken against saboteurs. You will see public executions, shoot at sight, stoning to death and other violent acts against saboteurs. They do this as a deterrent to others. If they don't, many would become saboteurs just to survive or out of greed. As for SS indigenes liking SE, it has nothing to do with the civil war. The SS minorities have always been wary of Igbos because we are much more in number and also more enterprising in nature. It made minorities to feel insecure and threatened. There has always been cries of marginalization by minorities against Igbos even during the colonial times. You can Google about the Willinks commission. That commission was instituted by the British to look into the cries of marginalization by minorities but the report clearly stated that such was never the case. Igbos didn't marginalize minorities. Anyways, nature made it necessary for SE and SS to forge a common front. However, if SS minorities decide they don't want to align with Igbos, it wouldn't affect Igbos as you think. Rather it will affect SS more. SS people are not treated any better than Igbos in Nigeria. It's just that you accept your subjugation willingly while Igbos don't. Remember that when Igbos were killed in the North during the 1966 pogrom, many SS minorities were also victims. During 2023 election crises in Lagos, many SS minorities were also victims. We may easily understand differences between Igbo & Ibibio, or Igbo & Isoko but to an average Northerner, there is no difference. Same applies to Yorubas. If Igbos fair better in Nigeria, it will rub off positively on the SS minorities and vice versa! Again, your cities need Igbo investments to grow exponentially. Otherwise, you will just have infrastructure in place without much difference. The reason why ports in SS are not viable is primarily because of SS antagonism against Igbos. If there is unity of purpose, your ports would have been rivaling Lagos. Asaba is growing today basically on influx of Igbo investments. Compare Calabar to Owerri and you will see that investments pouring into the Owerri has made it to surpass Calabar and the gap will continue to widen. So, don't think Igbos need you more than you need them. 4 Likes 1 Share |

gidgiddy:Do you think that dividing a country is a child's play and the UN will sit and watch that happen? You people should wake up! Armed hoodlums would be put where they belong by Tinubu, Tinubu is not a nonchalant individual like Buhari that will let non-state actors hold the country hostage. Trust me there will be a number of reforms and constitutional amendments that will change Nigeria for good. Hoodlums are holding Nigeria hostage because the present day government is sympathetic to their cause. Tinubu along side other Southern leaders will never take that shit from the North after 29th and that is one of the reasons the North didn't want to handover power to a powerful Southerner like Tinubu. Bury your Biafra dream. We will build a formidable country that will be envied by others. 1 Like |

fuckuigbos: Discerning minds will know exactly what's going on in this forum! The energy and spirit being used to try and cause divisions between Ndigbo and neigbouring ethnicities in the east comes from the same place as the enery and spirit being used to drive the pro-Tinubu and anti-Obi/Igbo political narrative pre and post elections! The people sneakily and deceptively driving this agenda ARE MAINLY YORUBA....possibly with a handful of self-serving Fulani and Ijaw gaining from the status-quo! This cretin i'm quoting is a case in point! He registered TODAY with a derogatory Igbo moniker.....ceratinly another alternate moniker out of many, and his set goal is to try and continue the anti-Obi/Igbo narrative!

Parachoko:Yes, they love Nigeria and it is foolishness for them to try to destroy Nigeria because they are not ruling. When Azikiwe, Ironsi and co were in charge they were not crying wolf so why should they disturb us now that the story has changed. The Igbos once dominated strategic positions in Nigeria, they even fought against the Hausas and Yorubas for mooting the idea of secession clause in our constitution. They should go and build their backward Igbo states first before talking about ruling Nigeria. 3 Likes |

gidgiddy: You're right. Even Northerners are gradually coming to terms that Nigeria would divide someday. That's why they're doing certain things to either delay it or at least ensure they have certain things in place. The removal of some things from the exclusive list is also to give greater control to constituent parts. However, the greatest threats to Nigeria is economic regression and possible collapse as well as Islam. The central government will continue to weaken especially if Tinubu becomes president. At a point the country will become ungovernable. 4 Likes |

fuckuigbos: Lol, how old are you, 12 years? If USSR, a super power can easily disintegrate against the wish of Russia, its major ethnicity. Then why do you believe that Nigeria can't? What about Yugoslavia, Sudan, India, Pakistan etc. Is Nigeria more formidable than them prior to their disintegration? You think disintegration is what you wake up and do? No, it's a gradual process that happens over time and Nigeria is steadily on that circle! If you understand international relation and politics, you will know that Nigeria has higher chances of breaking up than staying together, going forward. |
