The truth is you go to the Eastern areas and ask them. Even the British through BBC have since shown the "niger-delta" as so polluted and impoverished that life is not even worth living. This is all thanks to Awolowo, Gowon, Danjuma, the black scorpion who was a crack addict later in his life, and the Kaduna Mafia. 4 Likes |

I am surprised by the attitude of the Yorubas toward the Igbos because I can't understand this. Is this a form of competition or jealousy. Can somebody explain this for me 12 Likes 1 Share |

Isaac boro in 1966 wanted an Ijaw Republic. Isaac boro hated ibos with passion because of d way he felt he was in UNN during his campaign for SUG president which he won. Isaac boro felt the money generated in IJAW land was used to develop the current south east state in the defunt eastern region with enugu as capital. Nigeria was a working federation then. Until a power hungry IBO man in d name of Agunyi Ironsi made Nigeria a Unitary State. D igbo man Agunyi Ironsi fought d IJAW nation in 12 days and Jailed Isaac Boro for Treason. It was a Northerner GOWON who gave ISAAC BORO freedom and he join d Federal army to fight BIafra. 6 Likes |

barcanista: Dude, tell that to the Igbos who are still suffering from psychological hangover as a result of their loss of the civil war and are taking it out on everybody via shameless blackmail. Like I said, the guy is HISTORICALLY CORRECT! There are countless documented oral testimonial evidences on record from the former Eastern Region minorities to buttress his statement.Now, would I personally say something like that on Twitter? HELL NO. Coz I don't care about all that. I'm not against Biafra, infact I pray they get Biafria, but I will not put up with cheap blackmail from their apologists who see anyone that doesn't share their position as an enemy. |

If an army plant flag on your soil, it means one thing....we are your new rulers! Biafra planted flag on ND soil and instructed them to start learning Ibo language. Those who removed the flag are the heroes that rescued and saved ND, otherwise your lingua franca and national anthem today will be Biafran themed. 3 Likes 1 Share |

barcanista:Pls can you provide me links to the highlighted portion.. It looked like what I heard except that the AG proposed that 1]Anioma be ceded to eastern Nigeria 2]all the Edoids(Bini, Ishan, Afenma'i, Urhobo & Isoko) form a region 3]all of ijawland(both east & midwest) plus jekri land join the western region. Moreover why did the Bini oba insist on having Anioma in the Midwest? |

cheruv:@Cheruv: See here "In response to testimony of pro-Midwest witnesses, a shadowy organization called the “Anti-Midwest State Movement” was put forward by the Action Group. It asserted that Edos had more to fear from Igbo than Yoruba domination, and that creation of a Midwest region would expose Edos to Igbo domination." www.waado.org/nigerdelta/ethnichistories/egharevbalectures/Fifth-Omoigui.htm @your question: The Midwest have always seen themselves as one big family despite difference in ethnicity. For instance see what Oba Akenzua II said... “Benin-Delta was a sovereign nation before the occupation of the country by the British.” Oba Akenzua II, Sep 28, 1953 The Midwest is and will always be a model for all of us from the SS and SE. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

barcanista: You relish in taking a one sided version of history to buttress whatever weak point you want to make. At no time was there a violent or sustained demonstration by Mid-westerners to create a region of their own. But the Federal Government led by Zik and Balewa of the NPC/NCNC alliance went out of their way to create the region after ignoring the violent demonstration and riot by the Tivs asking for their own region and the COR states agitation for their own region was similarly suppressed. The midwest was created not to balance the federation but to weaken the AG and Zik calculated that a weakened AG will be a direct benefit for NCNC and of course they 'won' the election to control 2 regions. But it was a short lived victory as the NPC they helped to hold power soon pulled the rug from NCNC feet. Why were the minorities in the East and North not granted similar self government as the Mid West? 5 Likes |

Imokay:My bros you are re-writing history. The MidWest was not "created" by the FG or the NCNC, it was created by the MidWesterners via a referendum. Bini Monarchs Oba Iweka II and Oba Akenzua II were the Chief proponent of the State. In fact, there was lots of drama. It took them years to get their region. Though COR and the Middle Belt also agitated it wasn't as strong as that of MidWest. It is on record that MidWest is the ONLY entity in Nigeria to be produced via a referendum. See what Omo Osagie said before the Willink Commission: “The people of the Midwest would willingly submit to the use of nuclear weapons, devastating bombs or machine guns to annihilate them, rather than remain in a self governing West.” [ West African Pilot. July 14,1957] 7 Likes 1 Share |

Imokay:I've read the link barcanista posted and its quite shameful that Yolobas oppressed the nonOdua ethnicities of Western Nigeria... no wonder they wanted out at all costs My only grudge is after the Midwest was created, there'd ve been an exchange of populations... The Western Igbo divisions of asaba & aboh of the Midwest exchanged for the Eastern ijaw divisions of brass & degema.That way all Igbos would be in the East while all the ijaws would be in the Midwest. This would've prevented the adaka boro fiasco. The Eastern regional leadership though developmental in outlook wasn't perspicacious and that cost us a lot! 5 Likes
