No Ẹdo people wanted Biafra.

You won't remember but Ejoor refused Federal government access through Mid Western region which was why Nigerian Army had to approach Biafra initially through Benue axis.

The Mid West fought hard for their neutrality until Biafran Army turned up.

Also, all the arms that the Nigerian army had in Midwest had, guess the tribe of the people that took it to Biafran Army when war was declared. Yup, the Anioma officers.

The invasion and occupation of the Midwest by Biafran forces in full collaboration with the Midwest ibos is something these Biafra revisionists and confused eggheads like Nwoko will gloss over.

Why did the Midwest ibos not join their brothers in Biafra but instead wanted to rule over the Midwest that was looking like a vassal state to Enugu?

I am totally in support of this Anioma state creation so that they can finally go and join their brothers in the SE and from there clamour for their Biafra.

Ned Nwoko will refuse to acknowledge how Biafran soldiers and ibo civilians went on rampage on non IBO Midwesterners during the brief occupation .

They can continue their double speak fallacy but let them know nob ibos in Delta will not in anyway see a return to the madness that was the occupation of Midwestern region.

Why didn't they clamour for their own state during the creation of Delta out of old Bendel but instead got merged with people they are now confessing to hate? After Mariam Babangida secured them the state capital and used resources from Delta south and central to build their Asaba is now they know they are ibos.

I can't wait for this Anioma state so they can go and be full fledged ibos

Good points well made.

Having said that, sínce the Civil war, Anioma have distanced themselves from Ndigbo somewhat. However, since Peter Obi turned up, that has changed and it's not (necessarily) a bad thing. This I can say from my circle of friends and acquaintances so might not be totally correct.

I am not sure Anioma currently has the influence to get their own state, like you said Maryam helped carve up Bendel and ensure Asaba got the state capital ahead of Warri, so they might end up in Anambra state.

Yeah, that's the general story since 1914 the British brought us together to create their colony called Nigeria, killing upon killings in the millions

Thats why they should never have brought us together, that's why have no business being together, just to be killing each other

Dissolving the British colonial creation called Nigeria is long overdue

Out of more than 250 tribes in Nigeria, why is it that only one is always crying of victimization? And mind you, Nigeria was handed over to them by British in 1960 (Nnamdi Azikiwe). If Nigeria never worked, it is because you ruined it due to ego, arrogance and criminality mindedness

DomPerignon:
The invasion was facilitated by Delta ibos in the army who had initially declared loyalty to Nigeria and Gowon only to turn around and take orders from Ojukwu

How come that majority of Delta Ibos defected to the Biafran side!

Don't forget the riots and pogroms that greeted the liberation of Midwest by Murtala that was carried out by non ibos on delta ibos. Why did non ibos chase out delta ibos from their land!

The truth was that Delta ibos collaborated with IBO invaders and participated in terrorising and harassing non ibos in the Midwest

There was no riot and progrom against the igbos by none igbos in the Midwest, the killing of igbos in the Midwest was done by the federal troops which were mostly northerners , stop the lies

Go and do a research on how Delta Ibos fled to Biafra following a mini pogrom carried out by non Ibos

Go and read on how the military governor, Ogbomudia was able to bring it to a halt..

And FYI, more Bendelites joined the army and were one of the highest recruitments after Ojukwu invaded their land

It's because other tribes prefer to be stepping stones for the oppressors.
You'll like a situation everyone act dumb so those barbaric herdsmen and politicians take over people's ancestral lands.
Malaysia let Singapore have their own country and now Singapore is better than Malaysia.
The wickedness of a black man won't want to see others better than themselves.
That's why people will intentionally vote in misfits just to spite others.

And where.has.your not stepping stones carried you to politically and otherwise? You have four run away leaders that fought for Biafra, but none could bring Biafra to your door step after eating your donations, so where has gra-gra carried you to? Nowhere! Politically ,your two big brothers have become the presidents in moder times, but despite they are.steppingnon stones as you spotted, but you that never stepped on stone never tasted presidency despite Nigeria was handed over to your man by European. It is better you learn from other 250 tribes, very important; nzogbu nzogbu approach, doesn't solve contemporary issues

Great nations today all made sacrifices before they achieve success.
Other tribes can continue with their timid nature.
Middle belt region is an example of how people can be so timid and like play they are being chased away from their ancestral lands.
Those against the Igbos are likely a product of the oppressors.
Same way Britain and other Europe countries were too nice to evil minded immigrants who hate their guts and now they are almost overtaken.

Gambia is just 2 million people, its an independent country. We dont have to be with you in a British colonial creation called Nigeria dragging issues

The Midwest igbos fled cause tens of thousands of federal troops entered the Midwest and were killing everyone in the igbo speaking towns and villages , and the highest recruitment in the Nigerian army was not bendelites or whatever you call it , the highest recruitment was from the benue-plateue state at that time, benue plateau was one state and that was Gowons people , other recruitment were Hausa Fulani, and people from Niger republic

Stop talking like an illiterate.

Who told you other tribes ain't crying about marginalization?

The only reason you perceive igbo's to be more pronounce, is because of the concept of self determination; otherwise, you wouldn't notice.

Your postulation, is akin to revisionism. Biafra lost the Midwest due to high handedness, they looted the armoury in Benin, looted the Central Bank there, raped and took produce, cows and food from the population, killed at will, and expected the populace to cower in fear. We people of the old Bendel, are no cowards, we hit them where it hurt. Kamikazee raids became the order of the day, till Federal troops retook the Midwest.

Story.

The real unsung heroes in that war where the Bendelites , Ijaw NDVF and Yoruba soldiers under Adekunle.

These are the ones that fought in the coastal enclaves and chased you lot back to your caves.

The north fought from the Nnsuka sector and where more busy raping and killing you guys indiscriminately.

The real gallant warriors who fought to reclaim their lands were from the present day SS with Yoruba soldiers.

The north was more busy inflicting vengeance on you guys .

You don't know what you are talking about, the 3th Marin battalion led by Benjamin adekunle that came through the ship in calabar were majority people from the middle belt especially the tiv people the battalion had about 40 thousand troops about 20 thousand of them were Tiv people, there were very few Yoruba foot soldiers through out that war , recruitment happened in large numbers in the middle belt, the highest number of Niger Delta troops in the 3th Marin battalion was about 1 thousand of them and they were all ijaws under Isaac boro

Per the bolded, a little boy residing in Finland called Simon Ekpa orders sit-at-home every Monday and you must obey him.

Yet you call others Timid, really?

Cry harder.

All of Adekunke's subordinate officers where Yoruba and he had Yoruba recruits and Bendelites as the majority NCOs under his command. Ijaw militias led by Adaka were also a major fighting force under Adekunle.

There's a season your grandparents curse the man everyday because he so ruthlessly chased you out of the current SS that you all began shooting genocide so as to get a time out.

You are just being emotional about this, the 3th Marin battalion led by Benjamin adekunle had 40 thousand troops majority of them were from the middle belt Tiv people, I'm not talking of NCOs etc I'm talking about foot soldiers that's why when Brigade Lt. Col. Philemon Shande was killed in Owerri the Tiv soldiers protested they didn't want to fight again they lost their morals when their brother shande was killed cause adekunle pressureed him to advance to Owerri knowing the Biafrans had no where else to run to, but fight back with all they had, those are one of the reasons Gowon called back adekunle back to Lagos and replaced him with Obasanjo

It was possible because the south east is still within the country.
If the south east stood on their own without any external influences the issue would have been tackled long ago.
It's just like saying someone of that nature is disturbing the state of Israel, it won't take them 24hrs settle the matter.
The truth is that majority of the tribes in the country are too docile and waiting for a Messiah or someone to fight their battles.
Now Kwara state is experiencing insurgency, a lot of people are quiet. Slowly it's coming down south.
If we tell ourselves the truth, it's because of the Igbos that country is not yet overrun by religious fanatics and funny politicians.

DomPerignon:
The best thing to ever happen to Delta state is this Anioma state creation.

Same Delta Ibos that supported ibos when they invaded and occupied Midwestern region and joined their IBO brothers harassing and terrorising the non IBO tribes?

Ned should recall how his anioma people were chased out of Benin, Warri and Sapele after Murtala chased his IBO brothers out of Midwest

Ned should be honest and say the truth which is that Anioma ibos began shedding their IBO identity because of the madness of ibos and Biafran rogue soldiers on hapless civilians of non IBO extraction

You again. You opened a thread of propaganda on Ojukwu, to cause disharmony between our people and our neigbours from the East.

https://www.nairaland.com/8513591/why-did-ojukwu-expel-non#136706401

Let me ask you. Where do you live ? Do you live in the ND ? You don't know what you are saying, just dwelling on lies & propaganda

Why do you hate our neigbours from the East so much that you have to have a special Laptop for that hatred, telling so much lies

I love your apt answers to that fellow's bigoted questions. You are really intelligent

gidgiddy:
Yeah, the millions that died so that you people could uphold a British colonial creation called Nigeria that has never to this day

That means Nnamdi Azikwe was a dull human being not to understand this right?

Cuz he was the one that kept on shouting one Nigeria is non-negotiable. He also proposed that anybody bringing up secession clause to be passed into law should be penalized for treason..

Nnamdi Azikiwe was same as those shouting the same 'one Nigeria' today. People who see a country that can never work but want it to last forever

Just to tag on to that, remember Adaka Boro that also wanted to secede, Ikemba jailed him because, as you said, Nigeria is non-negotiable.
