He is telling the truth. That's what Reno and Asari always say as well, even though Reno always try to be politically correct. All those areas that are not so Ibo today but some think are ibos. That's how they got there.

Not the where they got their slaves from, the tribe was mentioned and "other side of the Niger" in the screenshot below. This is to tell you that they are not indigenous to those places.
Wow!

Road of slaves - imagine how they were tagging the Ibos. Shows ibos were not as majority as they do claim..

Asaba is even more regarded back then compare to *Road of slaves* Don’t Ibos have houses back then? Just take a look at the way Asaba was controlling & enslaving ibos back then.

Adaka Boro knew his history and heritage very well after all. No wonder, he never included ibos when they wanted to break away from Nigeria. I believe this thing pained Ojukwu - must have been one of the reasons he fought boro till death !

Our prosperity makes our half brothers and enemies hate us

We better stay on our own, whatever the posits as the disadvantages the God of igbos will circumvent it as advantage


Our destiny is prosperity

it is wherever we are

But we need peace of mind
The last time you were on your own for a mere 3yrs you starved to death .

I am not opposed to your Biafra but you should not decieve yourselves about any phantom prosperity.

If anything , Biafra will be hell on earth that will make present day Haiti look like Disney land.

I would prefer for Ndigbo to remain in Nigeria. It's a far better deal as you see what IPOB is already doing to our people in the name of "sit-at-home" It will be far worse under Biafra or a separate Igbo country. Also, we are landlocked. It is my opinion and if you quote me to spew vituperations, Egbe igwe gbarie gi ishi!
So you have big problem with sit at home, but no problem with Igbo staying in a country where Boko haram are beheading people, killer herdsmen are slaughtering people and ISWAP are blowing people up with suicide bombers?

You problem is sit at home? Other parts of Nigeria have far more serious security challenges than sit at home

As for being landlocked, it is only those without proper map of Nigeria detailing Nigerias waterways that eill say so. Its not a must you must have coastline to have access to the sea, all you need is smaller bodies of water such as River, thst are close the sea. The proposed Obuaku sea port in Abia is even closer to the sea than Portharcourt wharf

This is actually where I had problem with IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu. Historically, Ndigbo do have ancestral links with the Efiks and Ibibios, but that is now history.

We all know that for every Igbo nationalist, Nigeria is a no-no - a country moving in circles for 60 years. So we Igbo want our own country, the way we had it before the British placed us in this aweful contraption called Nigeria.


As an Igbo, would you prefer:

1. An Igbo-only country comprising all Igbo communities in any state they're found in Nigeria

2. Biafra, knowing that some Igbo communities, especially west of the Niger were not part of the 1967 Biafra

3. A quick exit for our southeast Igbo people


Think carefully before you comment. And share the benefit and demerit of each option.

Only for Ndigbo please...
WE DONT CARE ABOUT YOU OR WHAT YOU THINK.

Adaka Boro witnessed in person Ibo arrogance and discrimination alongside their domineering nature.

The reason for Adaka's revolt was because COR region was about to be carved out of the eastern region by the Federal Parliament after years of deadlock at the regional house in Enugu.

The coup of Jan 15, 1966 put an end to that excersice and worst of all saw to an Ibo dictatorship that dashed all hopes of SS people leaving the eastern region.

It's for this reason Adaka Boro declared to leave Nigeria as a whole

Ojukwu was the one who put down that revolt by bombing and killing Ijaw and minority villages which forced Adaka to surrender himself to avoid further killings of civilians by ojukwu and his Ibo army.

It's also important to remember that Ojukwu celebrated Ironsi's decree 34 that abolished regions for a powerful central govt with the regions reduced to mere provinces . Same Ojukwu will be calling for a return to regional govt after Gowon created states and when that didn't happen, Ojukwu dragged the same people that wanted to leave Nigeria to avoid the Ibo into his biafra .

Is that not madness ?

And for some reason the Ibos are blaming and insulting SS people for rightfully rejecting them.

I care less.

Just stop dragging any part of SS into your Biafra.
.is that to hard ?

We don't want to be the African Palestinians as threatened by the likes of Alexbells who told me here that the SS people will be treated the way Jews have treated Palestinians and that is why we see only you biafrans cheering your fellow genocidal land grabbers in Pissrael.

There is nothing like SS even in Geigraphy. What is your tribe? Are Igbo not in the imaginary SS? Are Ethche, Obigbo, Asaba and others not in the SS and are they not Igbo? What are you ashamed to name your tribe but hind under the toga of SS?

We are very comfortable with ibos leaving Nigeria. It's when you try to grab minorities land that you encounter problem.

Back to the topic. I support Igbo only country for Biafria, but don't try and snatch other lands that you were never indigenous to. Lands that belongs to the Ijaws and Binis

What about Enugu, Ebonyi and parts of Anambra that were conquered by the Igala. Till date, alot of kings in those places still swore allegiance to the Attah of Igala in Benue.
