Even with your very long meaningless epistle, I can tell you something for free. IKWERRE WILL NEVER REGRET NOT BEING IN YOUR BIAFRA.

Igbo people were stealing Ikwerre people lands and allocating only to Igbos in perpetuity, immediately the British created and handed the defunct Eastern region to them. This intensified immediately Biafra was declared when they started to brazenly invade Ikwerre farmlands to claim ownership, and declaring them as ‘biafraland’ because they had guns and others didn’t. Many of these invasions were led by some Igbos who had hitherto, lived in the communities and doing menial jobs for the indigenes, who didn’t know they living with snakes. Today, the same people will be feeding their children with complete lies and half truths.

Ikwerre elites were killed and some incarcerated. Igbo people were renaming Ikwerre towns and villages using their control of government. 95% of the appointments were Igbos.

You think that making Ijaw to appear like Ikwerre enemy will make them want to become Igbo but it will not happen. Ikwerre along with the Ijaw and other minority ethnic groups in the defunct Eastern region had already started agitating to be seperated from Igbo people even before independence.

No one is going back to Golgotha!

This one is beyond redemption. Your only usefulness here is to keep regurgitating lies against Ndi Ndi Igbo.

Now, is this the Nigeria of your forbears dream...onuku Igala!

Reading you rant and level of idiocy, i decided to take a cursory look at your profile! Just as i thought, most of your post history is riddled with anti-Igbo rhetoric...'ipig this and ipig that'! You registered around september last year and i suspect you're one of the e-thugs brought on to defend the emilokan mandate thiefs 'victory' at the so called supreme court! Are you Ikwerre or Yoruba? Answer this question in your reply! As you may have deduced by now, I'm Igbo...from Rivers state!

I often wonder why Yoruba people are more interested in the history and story of Eastern region and Biafra than any other group in Nigeria.
In fact it is shocking and totally narcissistic of them.
I watched a video where an Ijaw man from Nembe was lamenting the fact that Biafra failed, and rolled out many historical facts about why Biafra would have saved them from this current "Future" they are living.
I've seen other similar videos, and I don't take them for anything because it is like crying over spilled milk.
Of truth a lot of Ijaw and others (Ikwerre, Ogoni etc) worked with the one Nigerianists to defeat Biafra, but A LOT of them also worked for Biafra.
Why you see more of denials is because Biafra failed.
Nobody likes to identify with failure, hence the vociferous denials of ever supporting Biafra and turning history on its head.
I have studied the Igbo, and from my finding they succeed anyway.. Nigeria or Biafra.
And soon, even inside the Nigeria, haters will still complain that Igbo are dominating them and stealing their lands.
It has already started in Lagos, and south west.
That is why I advise Igbo to keep their money in SETTLED Igboland.
My friend from Abia state told me that he bought a building of six flats in Port Harcourt, and I told him that I bought a similar building in Onitsha.
Case closed. cool

Stop lying to yourself

THE IKWERRE SENT REPRESENTATIVES TO WILLINKS COMMISSION IN 1958
WHICH OTHER IBO GROUPS SENT REPRESENTATIVE?

Those people are Ikwerre

Even the way they dance and move their waist is unique to Ikwerre

I don't have time to argue with u. Obviously u are Yoruba trying to get attention.

Haven't u heard of the Igbo state union that was formed in 1923

Which later metaphor to become ohaneze

Shame on you!!!!!

Trying to place ogbakor ikwere before ohaneze as if there are no other cultural groups in igboland that was formed prior to that date.

My own village cultural group was formed in 1960.
I don't know what you gained by promoting incitement between ikwerre that is 3 and half local government and igbo.

On what basis are you, a nasty Igbo-hating bigot, declaring that 'Ikwerre will never regret not being in Biafra'!? I'm not Ikwerre, but just based on commonsense, i'd imagine that any reasonable ikwerre will compare what their parents and grandparents had in a Eastern Region that was recorded to be one of the fastest growing economies in the world at the time, against what they are now enduring in the Nigeria bequethed to them by the Yoruba/Fulani 'ndi liberators' and their sellout efulefu acomplices from the Niger-Delta....and even a few from the area presently now known as the south-east! YES!.....The Dr M I Okpara led Eastern Region was developing faster than countries/economic-zones who today we can't even see their breaklight: Singapore, UAE, Malaysia, South-Korea, etc! Imagine where we would have been today as a region or country had we continued the progress on that developmental trajectory! No reasonable Middle-Beltan, Niger-Deltan or Igbo, with the benefit of hindsight, will stand up today and claim with their full chest that they are happy with how events have played out in Nigeria from the late 60s to date!

Answer this question in your reply! As you may have deduced by now, I'm Igbo...from Rivers state!

Dude, i put it to you that if that clip purporting to show Ikwerre protesting in London against Biafra is real, then it was organised and sponsored by the then Gowon led Nigerian gov't of the time to counter the bad press the federal side was getting for all the war crimes they were commiting in the Nigeria/Biafra war! I wouldn't be surprised if they organised it in a blind state of panic just after they commited the Asaba massacre! shocked Fact of the matter is, all you and the fools mirroring your daft revisionism and lies have displayed on this thread amounts to nothing more than a shameless excercise in conjectural claptrap! At best, we can credit you with having an active imagination and your 'talents' could be better deployed as a scriptwriter in Nollywood! On the other hand, there are 3rd party recordings, in local and international media of the time, detailing all the atrocities commited by the Gowon-led Nigerian gov't and army/civilians from the north against Igbos', other ethnicities from the then Eastern Region (YES!....even including the Ikwerre) and Biafrans' in general! We can each list our sources and links on here if you like, so we can count scores! Show links/reports of the time showing Igbo were 'murdering Ikwerre elite and incarcerating them on trumped-up charges'! Also, corroborate your claim with links/reports at the time showing the Igbo were 'stealing ikwerre peoples' land and renaming them'! I'd love to see these....we're all here to learn!

Dude.....news flash: The ship to Golgotha set sail decades ago and has long since arrived at its destination! All of us were on it! lipsrsealed shocked

You looked through my profile and saw that I just registered “last year”. This is a clear indication that you are blind and most likely deaf and dumb too, so why should I waste my time with you? You clearly lack the intelligence and mental capacity to know what is reasonable and what is not.

You can be Igbo from Sokoto that is your problem and not mine. You already have answers to everything in your hollow brain. Actions not supporting your biafala are northern/ Gowon sponsored, efulefu, etc. and in your mkpurumiri brain Ikwerre people are not capable of thinking and deciding for themselves because one cl0wn on nairaland know what they must think or decide.

Clap for yourself Mr ipig shocked and continue in your unending voyage of self delusion.

You can go and do you fastest whatever no one cares but IKWERRE WILL NEVER BE IN YOUR BIAFRA.

Just a snippet below. Go and tell your parents to tell you the truth.

They don't need to have anything with Biafra, unlike Nigeria, Biafra is not by force. That's why Biafran agitators want Biafra created by referendum, while Nigerians wants Nigeria kept together by force of arms

I’m sure you will remember I reluctantly started replying you and your gang, when you made it a habit to create threads here on a daily basis to insult, disparage, demonise and also, fabricate stories about and against Ikwerre people for no justifiable reason. You did this for months on a daily basis and initially, some of us will read your bull. sh…. and overlook them. But you began to think that your lies have become truth, so it becomes necessary to give you some truth no matter how bitter they appear especially when you propagate those your false narratives and make your imaginary claims.

You can label truth as anti Ndi Igbo or whatever, it’s just what it is……The truth.

There’s you looking for straws to grab on to! So i made a mistake in noting the exact year of your membership registration! 2013….2023….hey, i’m only human! I said i took a cursory look at your profile….it’s called cursory for a reason you know!? Google the word if you’re struggling to know what it means! It was some minutes after 3AM in the morning (UK time) when i decided to reply you just before heading to bed, so all things considered, it’s a forgivable mistake! Don’t try and make more out of it than you should in an attempt to divert from the issue at hand!

You see the difference between me and your bigoted ilk!? It’s no biggie (apologies to Notorious B.I.G) for me to own up to a mistake or admit when i or any Igbo leader have made the wrong call on a particular issue! You lot on the other hand would sooner chop bullet than admit you were wrong on ANYTHING while in a argument with any Igbo!

I notice you omitted telling us your ethnicity! Dude, are you actually Ikwerre or are you Yoruba!? Your gutter mouth has been using abusing words Yoruba e-warriors normally use against Ndigbo, hence my question: ipig this….ipig that…..mkpurumiri this….mkpurumiri that! I also struggle to see why a true Ikwerre will harbour this level of bile and hatred towards his Igbo neighbours who he’s lived peacefully with for centuries!

The print of the script Tranquill attached is quite tiny, but i invite all to try and have a look at it! It in no way corroborates his wicked assertion that Ndigbo were stealing Ikwerre land and locking their elite up willy-nilly! If anything, it shows how all groups/ethnicities were treated equally in the then Ojukwu governed Eastern Region! All recent allocations of land in Port Harcourt, Enugu, Onitsha, Aba, Abakaliki and Ikom were revoked by the Military Governor owing to questions of corruption in land allocation, and the then Regional Minister of Town Planning, Chief Pius Nwoga, and his Permanent Secretary were put on trial! Note these two individuals were Igbo and were made to face trial by a Igbo Military Governor! So where is the smoking gun!?

Dude, when God Almighty deems it time for Ndigbo to be free from vipers and vermin like you, nobody will be forced to go with us! We will not hold a gun to anyones head and force them to be a part of ‘one Biafra’ or whatever name the new Republic will go by! Doing so, apart from being impossible to do in this 21st century, would make us no different from the very people we complain about and would not be in our character!

Which groups were treated equally?

Firstly, imagine that Tinubu or a non Igbo President appoints from his tribe all the top people, to oversee and control a major ministry in Nigeria that will also manage the resources in Igboland. What would Igbo people be saying? That was what they were doing in the defunct Eastern region and with that, formed huge cartels that were pillaging the region. Infact, 95% of the appointments were Igbo.

They included those Igbo towns as a smokescreen because at that time resentment amongst the minorities were growing. Infact that was the period Adaka Boro was arrested so it was vintage Ojukwu and his gang of pillagers with their deception.

Few weeks after this nollywood play by Ojukwu, and at the onset of the war, some minority leaders including Ikwerre, Ijaw, Ahoada, Ogoni etc led by the Late Chief Harold Dappa Biriye from Bonny went to meet with Ojukwu to reiterate their desire to be separated from Igbo people, but Ojukwu was saying it would happen when the time was ripe. Only he and his Igbo people knew when time would be ripe.

Anytime Ikwerre people make attempts to correct the lies and false narratives you keep spreading, you begin to call it ‘hatred or bile’. Your wish is that no one counters your claims or make attempt to put the records straight so your lies becomes truth.

Ikwerre people don’t harbour any bile against anyone (not against Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Ogoni, Tiv, Jukun, Ebira etc) but you can not force any identity on them, neither can you force them into any country whether online or offline. Stop feeding your children with lies and half truths against them and making false claims.

Igbo people stole Ikwerre people land, incarcerated them, killed and even buried some alive. People like Elechi Amadi recorded his personal experiences in his books and he only survived by the whiskers. Wokekoro, Enyinda, Oriji etc and many Ikwerre who escaped had their tales of anguish.

Igbo people killed the first Ikwerre (Iwhuruoha) journalist, a graduate of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, who wrote for Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe’s West African Pilot Newspaper. He was well known and had a very good social status by the standards of that time.

Honukwuru Obasiolu was at Aluu tortured by Igbo biafran soldiers and later buried alive claiming he was a Saboteur.

Honokwuru obasiolu hailed from Rumuigbo and had gone to Aluu to see the condition of his pregnant wife who had gone to the parents at Aluu to take cover in the midst of sporadic shootings during the escalation of the war in 1967. When the wife came back from the farm to hear what befallen the husband, she collapsed and dies with the pregnancy.

His only daughter, Dr (Mrs) Ige is still alive.
