The Eastern Region Minorities Lands were involved in the Aburi discussion
They owned half of the Eastern Region Land and it was consistently pointed out to Ojukwu but he seemed not to understand the implications

General Goeon's deputy Commodore wey was from Calabar and raised the issue

Ojukwu refused to discuss it though it was ponted out to him that the Eastern Region Minorities were important stakeholders in the matters discussed st Aburi

Historical ties? I don't know of any historical tie between the Abakiliki man, the Nsukka man, the Ngwa man, the Onitsha man, the Abrirba man, the Nkanu man. Yet you call all of them Igbos? Why?

This has got nothing to do with historical tie. All these people speak various dialects of a parent language called Igbo, they practice a similar culture, and that is why they are called Igbo. There is no difference between them and any Ikwerre, except for denial. The Ikwerre will say "Omeneli", which is the seat of traditions and custom, while someone from Imo will say 'Omenala', Enugu will say 'Omenani' same as Ebonyi, while us in Anambra will say 'Omenana'. No matter how you say it, everyone will still know what you are talking about

Whalis:

Were you the one who told the Enugu man that he is Igbo? What about the Ebonyi man and Anambra? You don't tell a man who he is. If you go to these places you mentioned you will hear of interconnected histories of ties. But there is no one linking the ikwerres to the Igbos or the Igbos to the ikwerres. Agreed if the Anambra man says he is not Igbo because of no ties with Ebonyi let him be. You won't force him to be what he is not. The sa10me way you can't force the ikwerres to be who they are not.

gidgiddy:


The point here is is that the parameter you are using to judge who is Igbo is the same you don't want used on you. Why call an Ibeku man of Abia State Igbo? Why call an Abakiliki man of Ebonyi State Igbo? Why call an Nsukka man of Enugu State Igbo? No history connects all three and all three speak different dialects, but will understand each other sane as an Ikwerre man will understand them

Look nobody has time to be dragging who is Igbo or not Igbo, but stop the double standard. An Ikwerre man called Ihunwo Obi Wali from Rumu-Igbo is current Deputy President General of Ohanaeze. The immediate past President General was Uche Okwukwu, an Ikwerre man from Elele. So you guys should go and sort out which Ikwerre is Igbo and which is not, and leave us out of your confusion

Ojukwu was in Aburi to discuss future of eastern region not minority rights t but if you said otherwise please provide proof that the rights of eastern region minority was discussed at Aburi or keep quiet.

Can you see Ojukwu's problem

He behaved as if the Eastern Region Minorities had no rights.

Whalis:

Let me help with some Igbo tradition. Anyone whose mother is an Igbo woman is seen as an Igbo son even if the woman isn't married to an Igbo person. Check these people you mentioned likely their mother was from igbo land.
Secondly in Ikwerre land we have the offsprings of Arochukwu people. Their offsprings have no problem with identifying that they are Igbos. Those you mentioned might likely fail into these categories.

paramakina202:


You are not making sense. Ikwerre amd other Igbo speaking communities in Rivers state are members of Ohanaeze ndi Igbo. Membership of Ohanaeze is Based on community not individuals.The Adelekes in Osun state their Mother is Igbo but cant join Ohaneze Based on that.

Exactly!!!!!

Can you now see Ojukwu's problem

He behaved as if the Eastern Region Minorities had no rights.

Meanwhile half of the Eastern Region belonged to the Eastern Region Minorities

Atrocities of Ojukwu and his Biafra Rebels against Old Eastern Region’s Ethnic Minorities (Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom & Cross River States). Vol.1

Burning of Churches, concentration camps, Pogrom, Massacres, Mass graves, K!lling for sports, Executions and Win-The-War-Meat.

Busy right now. I will come back and read this.

I remember reading about how Ibos would enter their Ikwerre and Ijaw neighbors compound in Port Harcourt and start harvesting bananas and plantain (basically stealing). When those ones complain, the ibos would say that the plantain and Banana belongs to Biafria land all because they had the backing of the rebels.

I read another by another Ibibio or maybe calabar man that said Biafrian soldiers were sodomizing young ethnic minority boys - from the book titled my village by Uwem Akpan.

Ojukwu went to Aburi to resolve the Eastern Region issues with Nigeria

Half of the Eastern Region belonged to the Eastern Region Minorities

Ojukwu went on and on and on as if they didn't exist

Even when he was reminded

Greenback:

These things below are true and sure.
1. The same buhari you are accusing and spotlighting now of being Awo's killer is the same buhari you same yoruba people made president for 8 years.

2. We are 100% sure that you yorubas would've so attacked the op of that thread and accused him of trying to cause disaffection between the yorubas and the north.

3. Buhari have no hand in Awo's death,we all know what happened to him...


Hypocrite

Awolowo was a great Man
But he was Human
There is no need to deify him
Apart from just thanking God Almighty who blessed him with foresight and wisdom
