Stop lying the only people in Akwa Ibom who speak Igbo besides igbo people that reside in Akwa Ibom are those in Akwa Ibom villages that border igboland in Abia State. And the Igbo villages in the border towns of Akwa Ibom Also all speak Ibibio fluently, those people are bilingual as is common with any border towns/villages.

Akwa Ibom people have their own distinct language the most widely spoken being Ibibio, others languages in Akwa Ibom Include Annang,Oro,Ekid,obolo,Efik etc. Igbo is not one of them
Don't say what you don't know. We have indigenous Ndoki Igbo towns that was carved into the defunct South Eastern state, now Akwa ibom state, after the war. Ohaobu is one of those Ndoki Igbo towns, and no, they are not bilingual natively, they are native Ndoki Igbo speakers,but some of them are fluent in Ibibio because they have Ibibio neighbours.

Sm1 just asks a question... a very simple question dat requires answers not less than a few words... and sm mumu ppl dat have low self esteem and insecurity jump and start thinking abt igbos.... ok safarigirl lemme answer ur question...Nigeria is divided into northern and southern protectorate by the colonial masters... after here we have 3 regions the north, the west and the east... following a referendum d west was broken into mid-west and west... as time went on the 4 regions got broken into states... then later these states ot grouped into geopolitical zones... areas from bayelsa to cross river is still referred to as the east but it is grouped under the southsouth geopolitical zone... lol... they just made an assertion them never even start and sm yoruba ppl don carry d matter for head. u guys shud be focusing on topics abt mid west and ur west... lol... I even heard one nigga mention oil, as far as Nigeria wud never break. even if they like let them discover Kryptonite anywhere in Nigeria, all of us must follow chop the money cheesy...cheesy... tongue

Igbos and Fulanis will be the Romas/Gypsies of Nigeria in 50 years.
only difference being that one is historically migratory, while the other one has a home, but chooses not to stay there..... leave the Confused southern minorities alone, they dont know you.
What we (SE/SS) needs is a strong regional economic block and little balance in power (which i believe is been actualised) then whether WE are in Nigeria or not is irrelevant

oh really?
it is not hidden, that the igbos want the Niger Delta in their imaginary biafran country---- if you think that is untrue, explain this...
They event want as far as Warri Itsekiris/Ijaws and Ugheli.... lmao Jokers.
No sensible Igbo man would want to have foreign entities like Itsekiri,Ijaw,Uhrobo,Isoko and the rest in our Republic. We are simply not on the same wavelength with those groups, they are surplus to requirement. Igbo republic is strictly for speakers of Igbo dialects. The only non Igbo speaking group that would always be welcomed are the Akwa ibom and Cross river groups.

al dz kinds of things abt igbos being in Edo as sm ppl claim, benue, Akwa ibom... I think to avoid trouble it wud do us more better if we keep shud and wait for d day dz ppl wud join Nairaland and use there mouth to tell the world... before sm ppl wud drink rat poison.

Now you're begining to make sense. That balance in power is what the SE is sticking her head to achieve against the opposition of the other two members of the original tripod. Don't forget Nigeria is numerically owned by the tripod. And you've got to appreciate that fact. But people like you are so much paranoid.

The new generation of the SS/SE wants to build a strong economic block using the exxisting infracture in their neighborhood, but sometimes you guys are too petty.

go and ask your grand parents or parents what really happened.

Btw: The pillaging and indiscriminate destruction by your people of the old Mid Western region and other parts of the Niger-Delta, out of desperation when they were loosing the war will never be forgotten.
The story of Biafra soldiers destroying and killing mid westerners is a propaganda with no evidence to back it up. Omogui was the originator of that falsehood,and had since been forced into hiding,when he could not provide evidence to back his claims. It was obvious he was pulling the falsehood out of his smelly ass. You should he ashamed of him.

Biafran Army killed more Nigerian soldiers than Nigerians killed Biafran soldiers, without the British unlimited supply of ammunitions and Arab airforce, Biafran Army would overun the whole of Nigeria in a matter of one month. We are that good.

Economic and cultural co-operation is very much welcomed-
but this their Biafran thing has been the biggest joking issue around beer parlour tables since the 1960's ... they even claimed to have opened an "embassy" in Spain..... LWKMD
No hard working igbo man hustling to make ends meet is even thinking about biafra, and some silly elements who don't even live anywhere within the borders of this 923,768km sq country are here making nasty comments online.

About Biafra, don't even go there! It is legal and legitimate under the UN Charter of self-determination. Whether it succeeds or not is no one's business.

And does not hinder any future economic and cultural co-operation under any future circumstance - Biafra or Nigeria.

I know it must hurt when you feel wanted, only to find out that you are insignificant and totally of no use to the Igbo future plans. Deal with it.

I said that the door would always be open to Akwa/Cross groups to be a part of an Igbo country,in a sort of loose confederation,cos of the role the played in Biafra 1.0.
It doesn't mean we are wooing or begging them. Biafra 2.0 should be a strictly Igbo speaking country.
The only sense in your entire post.
the rest is story for the "Gods" ... or simply put, balderdash.
go ahead and get your biafra 2.0- Southerners and Westerners will be watching from the sidelines-.... Or join in, to protect our peoples and interests in case of encroachments or bullying...... history never lies, we know what you did in the past.

well am not paranoid but realistic...I believe the political sphere now favours this zone to actualize their dream. on the other side i don't think there is existing infrastructure in south east but existing resources which i believe is been tapped as at recent

Actually, you are the one on your own. The majority of the normal Igbo folks that constitute 90% of Igbo population want an Igbo country. Only the few naive and greedy elites,their cronies, family members and well wishers,who feel that they are one way or the other benefiting from current Nigerian set up,go about screaming one Nigeria, their reason for such is self centred and myopic.

The history your ogogoro drunk ancestors told you? If you have any evidence to prove the false propaganda that Ndiigbo killed and destroyed in the midwest, provide it and stop peddling lies to soothe your rejection fever.

Omoigui the liar in chief,and other educated midwesterners on this forum had been tasked to provide such evidence, but they all failed.

The logical conclusion is that no such event happened, but your Igbophobic selves cooked it up,to justify your rabid Igbophobia.

Ndiigbo would not have anything to do with you lots, you were and remain of no importance to Igbo plans.

There was never a time any group was coerced or forced to be part of Biafra. Ojukwu was always open to UN supervised plebiscite in all Biafran minority areas. An offer Gowon and Britain refused to take up,fearing that the outcome of such plebiscite would be in Biafra's favour.

Stop trying to appear significant or wanted. Nobody wanted any Uhrobo,Isoko,Bini or Itsekiri man in Biafra 1.0, how much more the 2.0.

Bros, leave him alone. You said it, and we've made it known several times, WE DON'T NEED THEM IN THE NEW IGBO NATION. I wonder why they are trying to act like we need them when we don't... They have nothing to offer economically, commercially, resourcefully (human and capital), nothing actually. The Igbos are educated, learned, traveled, savvy, industrious, why will anyone need liability? Abeg leave him alone to his delusion that we want them...lol
