Why are the Igboid tribes in question not complaining but it is your Ohaneze that is crying over being rejected by the SS Igboid tribes ?

And you made no sense trying to blame Yorubas for the decision taken by the Igboid minority to be part of the Niger Delta umbrella .

Keep ranting.
nah bro. They complained, you're clouded with emotions

There is no Igboid tribe but Igbos. No one has time again to engage a shameless people who talk about Igbos more than their sinking selves. Some Igbos in Delta and Rivers are tired of you guys.

You are the one using an AI map.

Benin Kingdom had an envoy to Europe as far back around 1526 long before the British came to create Nigeria.

Oba Esigie appointed Ohen Okun as an envoy to Europe and Lisbon, Portugal, around 1526 to strengthen diplomatic and trade ties.
Keep quiet Mr Man.

I careless about what you call your funny looking Obas.

I dont speak your bini language, my language is not related to yours, my food is not related to yours. Our clothing are different..Absolute zero nothing in common, yet you drew my hometown into your map, but same you are complaining about Igbos adding Edo to their Biafra country map. That is called hypocrisy.

2 Local government minority feeling funky.

Well, the Igboid people say they will rather be with PANDEF .

You can not force them otherwise.

Okowa killing Ned Nwoko's treachery should tell you were even the most Ibo friendly Anioma people stand on being part of SS.

They said they are not part of the larger Ibo nation.

Can you respevt that ?

They should just keep their Biafra away from Edo State and the South South. Here is the map of the Benin Kingdom in 1580 by the Portuguese before the British came and created Nigeria. The Igbos in Asaba as visitors that came over from the East.
You must he drunk on kaikai with these your useless Map.

Imagine Yorubas drawing Dahomey into their map and saying they belong to the Yoruba country.

I hope everything is okay with you.

Anyway, if the igbos need contributions to actualize their dream of annexing your tiny Benin town just like they took it under 6 hours during the civil war, I would gladly contribute towards the cause. Na because say you don chop bellefulll, you begin to create useless maps.

If 1914 is wrong, then why is the colonial drawn map of eastern Nigeria sacrosanct ?
Who said the colonial map of old Eastern Region shall remain sacrosant?
It's a free world. Nobody, or no group has the right to force another group to share one country with it.
Any group in the old Eastern Region is free to opt out of the old colonial map of Eastern region.

As far as you are concerned with the crude oil in the delta region, note that many of the richest countries in the world have no crude oil.

My ancestral land has suffered degradation from irresponsible oil companies that have exploited the oil to feed and sustain you in this one Nigeria.

If there's anyone that should be shouting seccesion it is me and not you.

But we understand that we need Nigeria as both an economic zone and a bigger brother from you and external colonizers.
Re: Igbo Leaders Call For Referendum And Expansion Of Igbo Communities by Iyobaba(m): 4:28pm On Sep 28
The question is
Why are these people denying their Ibo heritage if they are actually of Ibo extraction.
The Okun people in Kogi have always maintained and upheld their Ile-Ife ancestry.

Why aren't the Ikweres and the rest doing the same about the Ibos ?

A subordinate always think about his superior more than he thinks about himself. You are ready to think far and provide ignorant excuses to justify Igbo balkanization. You walk, sleep, eat and wake up thinking about Igbos but less of yourselves. This is how much space Igbos occupy in your imagination. Go and write is somewhere, Igbo unification is a done deal. Yoruba is the one that has real threat of balkanizing owing to religion and competing loyalty.

Germanic people are not same with German speaking people. Germanic people are a broader classification of various group that dispersed from present day Germany, including ethnic germans. The way Igbo speaking people is different from kwa-speaking people who are thought to disperse from from Igboland. Even the English are Germanic people but separate ethnic group. Such ignorance

My friend , Eastern Nigeria is dead and buried forever.

Your grandparents who told you bedtime stories of restoring this colonial estate have failed to tell you that there existed proud independent states in the SS not in any way aligned talk more subjugated under a non existent Ibo confederacy that did not go beyond your current 5 Ibo states.

You are laying claim to a colonial handed down estate that the minorities never agreed to but you will be the first to condemn 1914.

Do you see how duplicious you guys are with your selective hypocrisy ?

If you are not careful, we will further break that SE into 10 regions .

It's not that they don't like it if Igbo leaves Nigeria, but their problem is that as Igbo serves as buffer zone for the rest of oil producing areas in the Southsouth, if Igbo leaves Nigeria, these oil producing areas will also declare their sovereign country or countries from Nigeria.

Ok oh.

The last time you carried Gucci flag into PH and started attacking and killing Hausas and northerners in their settlements , hope you recall how Wike responded with pure vengeance .

There's is no minority people from the SS who knows the atrocities your people commited during the war on the people that will ever agree to be with you

What is that thing you guys used to say at the height of your Biafra fever :

To your tenth oh Israel.

Guy face your lane and develop into accordingly to suit you and stop eyeing and coveting another man's land.

Anyone from that region at anytime vying for Presidency must be put to this test: Is the person a SILENT sympathizer to secessionism, buafrud, ugm? Once this test is passed, all Nigerians including smaller tribes will feel safer.

Just 5% ( aboriginals)of them in our beautiful ANIOMA land .

ANIOMA people have already done lefeledum with the outcome being 3 votes vs hundreds.

Dodo strike out ANIOMA from your dream list.

Yoruba presence in Lagos is being vanquished, Igbos are buying up places in Lagos that yorubas have not entered before and your eyes are on Igboland that is rapidly unifying. You guys won't know what hit you when we start pricing the entire state like Alaska.

Is this a question?

Everyone knows that the Fulani bandits terrorising Yoruba enclaves in Kwara and specifically Yoruba Obas started their madness with the proposition of Etiti state that seeks to carve out a Yoruba enclave out from Kwara

A similar thing happened in Kogi west .


The difference here is that the Yorubas want to leave the NC and join the SW while the Igboid people in SS say they prefer to remain in the SS.

Can you and your Fulani expansionist respect the indigenous peoples wishes for once ?
ok. so there are no yorubas in kogi and kwara abi. end of discussion

I love ibo girls tho...

Never knew they are also indigenous to Kogi, how about neighbouring Kwara and Ekiti
There are no indigenous Igbos in Kogi



What we have are Igbos who settled in Kogi many years ago.

I have a Yoruba friend who's grandfather came to Katsina many years ago and he speaks Hausa fluently. Does that mean Yorubas own Katsina?

One of my Igbo undergraduate friend in Ahmadu Bello University is from Zamfara but that does not mean Igbos own Zamfara

That map is a Portuguese map not mine.

Is it not completely senseless for the Igbos to invade another region because of their greed for other people's region. Just because the British came and created Nigeria and included the Benin Kingdom in Nigeria because the Benin Kingdom went to war with the British.

Iyobaba:
I don't see anything wrong here provided the people of those states agree they share the Ibo identity.
I hope the Ibos will accept the outcome of any referendum and all the people decide.
It's actually a good idea, this will put to bed the notion of they don't want us to leave.
No one in Kogi share anything with igbos.
What we have in Kogi are Igbo settlers who settled in Kogi many years ago and some were born in Kogi. Go to sabon gari in Kano and you will find many Igbos who were born in Kano and they speak fluent Hausa

This madness was started by Nnamdi Kanu

Re: Igbo Leaders Call For Referendum And Expansion Of Igbo Communities by Timmi: 5:31pm On Sep 28
I will urge these Igbo elders and leaders to include the creation of Biafra republic and peaceful succession from Nigeria in the referendum.

I expected them to be talking about Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi. But this is where the comedy begins, they keep claiming Nigeria refuses to let them go, yet they are still talking about adding Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Benue, Cross River, Edo and Kogi to their country. Meanwhile, these are some of the people you claim you want to separate from.

If they simply carve out their 5 states and channel their demands through their representatives at every level of government, I’m sure NASS would finish all readings in one day. By the next day, the agreement would be signed, and everyone will happily begin migrating to their respective “countries.”

But as it is now, even the map is wondering what exactly they want. Peter Obi's catastrophic failure is already staring in the face, that is the simple explanation.
Richtaiwo, I don't know about others but in terms of rationale I am certain that richtaiwo is a humorous irony.

A European who spent many year in Northern Nigeria before and after the Biafra war told me the British would have allowed the Biafra to go during during the civil war but they wanted to take other none Igbo trades with them, that was why the Biafrans were tamed back to their dot in the centre in the South East.

That would also mean they might not be a major ethnic group

So where are those that always say that if Igbos want referendum they should come out and speak out with one voice to federal government.

Now not just Igbo leaders but refined and respected ones have come out to demand for referendum and also unifications of entire Igbos across different regions let's see what next those Igbo haters will say and hope they will hit shift their usual goal post.

Some people want to unite their people and even force those that never wanted to join them in South West region like Lagosians,Akoko Edos but they will come and tell Igbos that they don't have right to unite with their kins from South South, Middle Belt and and someone will want to convince me that those people are not............

They are still trying to steal other people's lands and identity. People who have repeatedly rejected them yet they keep persisting in their attempts. That's why Nnamdi Kanu the terrorist left his comfort zone in the UK and came to actualize the theft but has ended up in a cage cheesy
You mean same way you people want to steal indigenous Lagosians land like Aworis, or Akoko Edo people or Ekun people in Kogi or Ijebus like Ijebu Ode and Ijebu Igbo that already warned you people to stay away from their land
