Lol! The Roman empire Crumbled under it's own weight, it wasnt conquered and turned into a vassal state by a foreign empire.

In 376, the Visigoths crossed the Danube River - a traditional boundary of the Roman Empire - and swarmed southward. Two years later, the Visigoths defeated the Romans at the battle of Adrianople, further weakening the Empire.

A year later, the Visigoths sacked Rome and continued on to Spain.

In 455 they (the Vandals) followed in the footsteps of the Visigoths and sacked Rome. The Western Roman Empire was dead. However, a vestige of Rome lived on. Its Eastern portion, with its capital at Constantinople, lasted for another 1000 years until the city was sacked by the Muslims in 1453.

And your kin and kith that has renamed everywhere to sooth their expansionist agenda since 1960 and still distorting history till this very moment are the ones churning out the truths that came from Angel Gabriel himself?

Sit down and search your soul.

The Ottomans took over that Easter portion of Constantinople which is today the Turkish (Muslim) city of Istanbul. Thank me later.

The Roman empire crumbled under its own weight. The cause of the fall of Roman empire were multifactorial and remains a debate amongst historians.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_the_Western_Roman_Empire

Please stay off my mentions if you have nothing tangible to contribute here.
Who doesn't know how Byzantium fell, when it's all over the TV documentaries.

Dude, for once in your life, admit that you goofed. You stated yourself that the Roman empire was never conquered and I presented you with evidence that it in fact was an even lost both its Western (Rome) and Eastern (Constantinople) legs. Don't throw tantrums coz you goofed and I called you out. Be humble for once!

pazienza:
My opening sentence was that Roman empire crumbled under its own weight. It was a dying empire with too many internal crisis.

No goofing here, everyone know that what was remaining of Roman empire was over ran by the Barbarians. That is elementary history. Nawao!

OkutaNla:
Dude, you are too arrogant for your own good. Who cares why it crumbled? Fact is the Roman empire was decimated on both fronts, irrespective of why it was. Every great empire in history that has crumbled more often than not usually suffers internal decline before being overrun and conquered by external forces, no brainer. The koko is that Rome was decimated by seemingly inconsequential tribes.

Unlike most Igbos I've long rejected you and every confused Igbo speaker. I only accept Egbema, Asa and Ndoki as Igbos in Rivers State. You can even tell that some Igbos hate me for that. You can write your history as you like too but don't claim centralised leadership when you equally come from a decentralised and stateless ethnic group. I am from Oguta and our Kingship is clearly Benin styled and has existed from the time we settled at Orashi area 500 years ago.

Eastlink:
Hahahaha! You amuse me my brother. You must be very funny in real life. Well let me take them by their words for now. Let's give them a benefit of doubt. It may turn out better than we expected.

Truckpusher:
With the utterances and bad blood that keep emanating from you guys I'm afraid that every Niger Delta child with an eagle's eye and a deep sense of history should learn fast and reject that idea until we are able to come to a compromise - We are not in a hurry to leave Nigeria yet ,after all our homeland is gone,what is the rush for ,we will wait for a better deal but right now we stick to the old deal.

obailala:
...and who is in a conversation with you?... Are you lost?

Xpaz:

No State Government would want to show Openly that it support Biafra.
so it is normal

uduokirika1:
You are not from Rivers state

QuotaSystem:
I thought the Niger Deltans wanted Biafra too...

...clearly Wike and Riverians do not...and their government didn't waste any time to give us the benefit of doubt

It is getting increasingly clear that this Biafra movement is located only on web browsers and in the hungry hallucinations of touts and street urchins

babajero:
. Look at how you reason, answer me one question' how many government official in the north or southwest has ever came out to say they support boko haram even when it is obvious they do. All of them live in denial.

QuotaSystem:
You're long lost.

Rapture007:
Yes, , Unity just as AU and other African organizations are helping their people drowning in the Mediterranean Sea just to cross over to a better planned Countries in Europe. Your definition of greed is funny at best. I dont need to lecture u on the events that led to His Excellency, Odimegwu Ojukwu's action cos ur block head, Yoruba propaganda, lies and Lagos-Ibadan-expressway junk journalism have already helped u to form a distorted impression and opinion, so why will I bother.I think Greed is when Yorubas sold Abiola for a plate of Amala or when Awo was among the people that want democracy to thrive in Nigeria but slavishly took an appointment under Military rulership to enrich himself, tribe and possibly become the president only to later drink Otapiapia and die. lemme introduce another word to u: COWARDICE- typified by Yorubas in different instances prominent among them is the running away of Ogundipe who was supposed to take over when Gen Ironsi was killed but being a Yoruba man no one expected more from him cos he just prove the reason that Name Yoruba is synonymous with cowardice.

coolscott:
It is an insult to associate us in Rivers State with movements engineered by pple who we doubt think through properly before they take a position, much less before they act.

The people of Rivers State, with ancient kingdoms and political structures spanning hundreds of years before the white man came.

Please we have not much in common with those south east people whose current day chieftaincy system was instituted by the white man because he needed a way to govern them in some sort of organised way. The white man had to install paramount chiefs for them so that his indirect rule could work.

It pays to know more about the country we call ours. Of course it gets us better informed, but besides that, our social story (both present and especially historical) is that interesting.

princejayboss:
Am not a fan of Nnamdi kanu and will not until he changes his style and approach... But I want make one point clear.... You absolutely do not know one bit of history... Though i don't blame you, I blame Nigeria for her failure to make un-misplaced history study in schools a mandatory course ... When I have time ... I will teach you some

HopeAtHand:
Things that you cannot change, you accept. Ikwerre is an Ikwerre speaking tribe, maybe i need to explain to you, that Ikwerres speak Ikwerre as their language.[/b]

Etche prior to this present times are usually grouped alongside Ikwerre

Their language is very intelligible to an Ikwerre guy

and parts of Ikwerre specifically Ibaa have their roots in Ahoada..so their Ibaa dialect is intelligible to Ahoada.

Jesus!
First of all, there are many distinct ethnic Igboid and Ijoid groups that make up Ahaoda. Do you know that Ahoada is divided into two local government, Ahoada East and Ahoada West. Ibaa does not even border Ahoada to start with. Who is feeding you with all this junk? Do that person know the distance between these two places. Ibaa is reputed to have one of the most complicated Ikwerre dialect. I from Igwuruta need to put my ears on ground carefully and figure out what they are saying. How come somebody from Ahoada will understand this with ease. You've just proven to all NLders that you're no Rivers man talkless of Ikwerre. Even an Ogoni man knows that there's a big difference between Ikwerre and Ahoada.

And so you know, a percentage of the land called Oyigbo LGA belongs to Eleme and Iriebe and Woji peeps of Obio/Akpor LGA..that Oyigbo peeps chhose to be identified as Igbos and live there doesn't detract anything from my earlier submission.

I have given you a lecture..Thank me later.

kingzizzy:
Of course they don't want Biafra. What they want is the Almajiris of the North and the greedy Southwesterners to come and collect their Oil wealth on a daily basis abi?

IGBOSON1:
^^^Look who's calling one a bigot! A debased pogrom loving spawn of lucifer calling someone a bigot!?......Joke of the century!

Listen mate! Igboland depends on absolutely nothing from toerags like you!

I guess you're not conversant with the strafing and bombing raids carried out on farms, markets and schools by the Egyptian mercenaries your evil kinsmen brought into the war when it was becoming clearer as the months went by that Nigeria couldn't defeat Biafra in a clean fight!?

You're not aware that Nigeria resorted to giving away a large chunk of her territory (Bakassi) to Cameroon in order to get Ahmadu Ahidjo to block the Biafran supply routes from the eastern flank!? Yet again we see you bastards unilaterally making life-changing decisions for an entire group of people without bothering to ask for their opinion on the matter! Today the Bakassi people are refugees and homeless because of you scum!

I guess you're not aware of the starvation policy dreamed up by Awo! A policy used as a last resort when it became all to apparent that even with your Egyptian planes and shooting at any and everything that moves, that it was going to be impossible to beat the plucky Biafran soldiers into submission!?

Isn't it funny that you say i can't do without you yet i want out of this shithole you call a country; and on the other hand, a two-faced animal like you is clinging on to 'one Nigeria' like your life depends on it!?

Who's fooling who!?

Tripleclick:
plz , shut up ... Nigeria shud hv not blockade our border tru russia and british force and sign out bakassi to comeron,, now de r beggin boko haram to surrender , why not blockade dm.. nonsense
