Armaggedon: Tonyebarcanista you have shot yourself like your brother adaka boro.
i have read the thing you wrote and undertstand that:
you are anti Igbo
you are an okirika-ijaw who fears being reminded that ikwerres are igbos. It is a shame that many people dont know you. I have gone through older posts on this forum and seen where you were bashing Igbos and i am sure that was why you changed your account.
Why did you change your account ? Let me make it clear, there is nothing wrong with the method kanu is using he is only saying the truth . Nigeria is founded on lies and truth will kill it faster than boko haram. That is why they are hounding him
Kanu's plan for Biafra is to enlighten the people of SE and SS about the injustice of nigeria. He does it by unraveling hidden historical truths which northerners use to perpetuate a forced unity. One of these is the balkanization of Igboland and the attempt to "de-igbonize" some groups like ikwerre, who were forced after the war to add "R" on the names of their towns. They were forced to become wicked to fellow Igbos just to prove they are not Igbos and be acceted in Rivers. Is that the type of nation you want? If you are a good student of history you will notice that only sixty percent of igboland was carved into the present SE after the civil war. This is to emasculate them politically while exploiting their resources. A lot of injustice has been done to Igbos in Nigeria. But i am happy some Igbos in SS are waking up
It is a pity that you are a beneficiary of this northern project called nigeria and at the same time fighting for "justice" if those ikwerre try to represent minorities in SS, your type will be first to call them Igbo
history has shown us that people who fight for justice on the premise of injustice end up in disaster eg saro wiwa and adaka boro.
lastly biafra will come through a referendum. If the non Igbo groups of the SS say yes then good for them. If they say no that shouldnt be a problem but know that we igbos will leave you behind in our match to statehood with our Ikwerre and other Igbo brothers in "Rivers" and you will do nothin about it.
I love your comment...100likes frm me..
To tonyebarcanista. Pls don't use the word violence, the biafrans never engaged themselves on anything violence in nigeria. You can use words like hate speech or vituperation, that s ok by me and my people. But when you mentioned violence, I laughed in my mind saying we never start at all.
When we start our violence, you won't have the time to type the position of where you belongs.
brize: Everyday i see people saying that IPOB calls for violence and i am still wondering whether it is the same IPOB that it's leader was kidnapped by Nigeria secret kidnapping police or is there any Ipob, take a look at this, on 30th of August at Onitsha the IPOB went for a rally and was shot by the Nigeria Navy, the highest weapon those people was with on that day is fliers... But the Navy shot them and they (IPOB) never acted violently, just 2 days ago they (IPOB) went on a peaceful rally/protest at Rivers, Delta, Enugu, Awka and even in Hong kong, India etc but in all their peaceful protest around the world about the arrest of the leader of the group it was only in Nigeria that they were shot again @AWKA , before you tell me that they were violent just bear it in mind that it was the elderly women that went for that protest you should have imagined how peaceful it will be.... Up till now Mr. Op, how many police station, yoruba or hausa shop or company have you heard that was violently destroyed by the group? How many Hausa man have you seen his dead body on the street? I know your fears Mr. Man, next time do your investigation about what you wanna write about and also bear in mind that IPOB is not in any way VIOLENT.. we know that your fears is that of the unknown but i want to put it to you..... NOTHING WILL STOP BIAFRA FROM COMING AND NOTHING WILL STOP US FROM BEING RESOLUTE AND FORMIDABLE...
Your point 2 can be solved only with a referendum...
bro I wondered o.. Cos when I saw him type violence, I was surprised too. Maybe he s mistaken us for boko boys..
Thats what happens when they think the best way to express their frustration with Buhari/the North/SW is by peddling hatred and propaganda, while posturing arrogantly when their completely deflated status is clear for all to see.
EasternLionn: Watch how Yoruba will smile and welcome you in their arms, and turn around to cast aspersions on you next minute.
Oga BTW, IPOB is not a violent group, we are only telling everyone know that if they keep shooting and killing us, we will have no option than defend our right to existence. It is called self-defense.
And, forget all these online tantrums, Radio Biafra has brought more unity between SS and SE more than any other group. At least it keeps reminding us that we are one people with the same food and cultural linkage.
If I am lying, watch Concur by Timaya and Don Jazzy, the only difference between both traditional attires is the fedora hat worn by Timay, and Red cap with Eagle's feather worn by Don Jazzy.
We are wiser now, sir.
maybe hE waS sleePinG when he type the word violence..

Are you aware calling for the killing of Yorubas and Hausas as was done on RB is clearly stated as Treason according to our criminal laws, and is punishable by a minimum of life imprisonment?
You do not have to pass a knife through my heart to be violent towards me. Even the dictionary defines violence as "strength of emotion".

You do not have to pass a knife through my heart to be violent towards me. Even the dictionary defines violence as "strength of emotion".
xtrorse: Your views are mainly based on the wicked propaganda and fraudulent practices that are not allowed to take the front seat in sane climes. ... Can you post ANY evidence where a prominent Igbo personality insulted or maligned your father or race?
Which ethnic group have built a better bridge than the Igbos who have exhibited more 'Nigerianness' by permeating every nook and cranny of Nigeria, peacefully building and establishing business empires, and growing the economy of the locals and that of the country at large, and some of them even getting married to the locals?
In the 90s, the NADECO's unlicensed and inciting Radio Kudirat was hitting the airwaves, did any of your elites condemn it?
Before the 2015 general elections, did you condemn the highly inciting Radio Chanji in the North?
Between Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani who makes lousy, provoking noise and propaganda using every available media outfit?
In the build up to the 2015 general elections certain people made careless and careless utterances thereby heating up the polity. Is any of them Igbo
The likes of FFK, Fayose, Fashola, Tinubu, Lai, El Rufai, Junaid Mohammed, Obj and Sahara Reporters who heated the polity with their utterances, is any of them Igbo?
Ever since you were born, have you seen or heard anywhere Igbos are on rampage, killing people and destroying means of livelihoods for no just cause?
How many of your elites dare challenge the Hausa-Fulani-Kanuris or Yorubas for their unjust ways? How many of you dare counter the numerous killings and destruction of lives and properties that have been occurring for many decades in the North unabated?
The Hausa-Fulani-Kanuri people have over the century propagated despicable, hate speeches in their mosques and still execute the unconscionable, cold-hearted waste of human lives and reckless destruction of means of livelihoods in the North and Middle-belt. And they now have the presidency while the backstabbing Yorubas vice-presidency! Such a misnomer can only happen in the jungle!
A number of Yorubas even go to the extent of carrying wicked lies about how Hausa-Fulani-Kanuri people have been peace-loving and accommodative; that it's the Igbos that always provoke their hosts in the North warranting the pogrom and other heinous crimes against the Igbos. Yet in the same North and the Middle-belt the Christian minorities and other Southerners are maltreated, relegated to the background and even killed.
You say that Igbos are arrogant, and that they don't respect their hosts while you subtly proclaim that the Hausa-Fulanis are peace-loving and accommodative. You don’t like Igbos but you still fought and killed them to be in this fraudulent union where your likes are favoured by the injustice, inequity and lopsided arrangement in the polity. And your people even had the effrontery to castigate Igbos for seeking a self-determination!
Many of you hold the view that Igbos should be grateful for being allowed to live in their part of the country, in the same 'One Nigeria'! You say Igbos disrespect and denigrate their host when Igbos choose to exercise their franchise right. And you don't seem to see anything wrong in Oba Akiolu's threat to drown Igbos in the Lagos lagoon if they fail to vote for his anointed candidate! The same threat was backed by many Yorubas including Dr Ariyo in the US who even called for genocide.
IGBOS HATE NOBODY EXCEPT YOU ARE A SWORN ENEMY TO TRUTH, JUSTICE AND EQUITY. At the 2015 presidential election Igbos only exercised their franchise right just like other tribes.
If Igbos are the promoters of hate in Nigeria, can anyone tell us any instance where Igbos go about causing mayhem, killing and destroying means of livelihoods for no just cause?
It's only mischievous bigots in the society that turn blind eye to the evil and injustice, and permit the atrocities to flourish in the land because they gain from the lopsided arrangement in the polity. GENESIS OF HATRED IN NIGERIA
1* “We do not want our Southern neighbours to interfere in our development. We have never associated ourselves with the activities of these people. We do not know them, we do not recognize them, and we share no responsibility in their actions. We shall demand our rights when the time is ripe. If the British quit Nigeria now at this stage, the Northern people would continue their uninterrupted conquest to the sea”. - Sir Tafawa Balewa (1947)
2* “We the people of the North will continue our stated intention to conquer the South and to dip the Koran in the Atlantic ocean after the British leave our shores.” - Sir Ahmadu Bello (1957)
3* "The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great grand father, Othman Danfodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We must use minorities in the North as willing tools and South as conquered territories and never allow them to rule over us or have control over their future" - Sir Ahmadu Bello, October 12, 1960
Ahmadu Bello, arrogantly uttered the aforementioned statement in a multicultural and multi-religious country and got away with it, and many bigots still hold him in high esteem and even shove it down the throats of other people.
5*...barely six months after independence, Sir Ahmadu Bello was able to say with confidence in the Daily Times of May 3, 1961, the following: “I’m set and fully armed, to conquer the Action Group, AG, in the same ruthless manner as my grandfather conquered Alkalawa, a town in Sokoto province, during the last century.”
6*...sometime in 2010, when upon the demise of President Umaru Y'Ardua, indications emerged that his erstwhile deputy, President Goodluck Jonathan, may contest the 2011 presidential election, a prominent chieftain of this same ACF, Lawal Kaita, who was a former Governor of old Kaduna State, threatened that the North would make Nigeria ungovernable, should Jonathan or anyone from the South win the 2011 presidential election, claiming that such would amount to denying the North it's birthright of ruling Nigeria.
7* It is in the same North barbaric statements like this were uttered in 2011: ”BABOON AND DOG WILL BE SOAKED IN BLOOD”. And what was the outcome - carnage and murder of many Southerners and Christians in the North, including many Youth Corps members when Buhari lost the 2011 presidential election?
8* That true to that threat, upon the victory of Jonathan from the 2011 presidential election, massive violence was unleashed from the North by a group which called itself Boko Haram and which repeatedly took responsibility for unending mayhem which began with the killing of Youth Corp members who worked ad-hoc for INEC in that election.
9* As the barbaric killings and destructions reigned, especially with the attack by Boko Haram on the UN Building and Force Headquarters in Abuja, the Lower Niger Congress publicly posited that the nexus between the aforementioned threat by ACF's, Lawal Kaita and the Boko Haram's bloody campaigns summarily destroyed any prospects for keeping the Nigeria Union.
10* "It was, therefore, no surprise that in October 2013, following the bold announcement by President Jonathan, presenting the sudden prospect of revisiting the master-servant constitutional arrangements of Nigeria infuriated the warmongering born-to-rule Caliphate whose cause was championed by the same ACF, and who, supported by their allies from the renegade wing of the Yoruba Southwest, launched a vicious, frontal attack on the initiative, teaming on the floor of the Conference into a majority, and driving the Conference into its first major decision, i.e. NOT TO DISCUSS THE TERMS OF NIGERIA'S UNITY. The rest of the Conference was a jamboree that provided a luxurious platform for the North/SW Alliance, parading itself as a new political party named APC, to fine-tune their violent March to the do-or-die 2015 general elections."

I have personally heard the albino call for attacks on a Yoruba pastor, and on Hausa/Fulani. Callers call in frequently to express readiness to kill hausas and yorubas and they are encouraged. What does 'crushing the zoo' mean?
You can only deceive yourself.

Definition of Violence: Behavior or treatment in which physical force is exerted for the purpose of causing damage or injury: the violence of the rioters
So, Abokii, you can't secure a criminal conviction on a charge of ' violence' based only on 'strength of emotion'. Even a prima facie case in that respect will be very hard to establish. Physical force must be established beyond reasonable doubt.
This said, I have not heard Kanu call for members of any tribe to be killed, but has rather consistently maintained that those in uniform killing innocent protesters should be targeted for reprisal attacks.
Armaggedon: Tonyebarcanista you have shot yourself like your brother adaka boro.

Kanu's plan for Biafra is to enlighten the people of SE and SS about the injustice of nigeria. He does it by unraveling hidden historical truths which northerners use to perpetuate a forced unity. One of these is the balkanization of Igboland and the attempt to "de-igbonize" some groups like ikwerre, who were forced after the war to add "R" on the names of their towns. They were forced to become wicked to fellow Igbos just to prove they are not Igbos and be acceted in Rivers. Is that the type of nation you want? If you are a good student of history you will notice that only sixty percent of igboland was carved into the present SE after the civil war. This is to emasculate them politically while exploiting their resources. A lot of injustice has been done to Igbos in Nigeria. But i am happy some Igbos in SS are waking up
It is a pity that you are a beneficiary of this northern project called nigeria and at the same time fighting for "justice" if those ikwerre try to represent minorities in SS, your type will be first to call them Igbo

Barcanista you shouldn't have sold out our brothers from the east on a cheap platform like this just because you want to score a cheap political point. When brothers fight or have any disagreements whatsoever,it's better resolved within the family...if you truly want to be a successful politician especially in Rivers state then you should know you would one day seek the Igbo man's vote...be wise please!!!
These expansionist attitude of the Igbos is the reason why the first Biafra attempts by Ojukwu failed.
Instead of focusing on the Core (Igbo) SE states and get thier Biafra, they keep trying to pull other tribes and regions into thier quest in the name of liberation.
The Same reason they gave when they're matching towards the SW .
The Past is Present. The past is not dead – that it lives on in the present.
Igbos may forgive but surely have not forgotten the atrocious deeds of your kinsmen and how you treacherous backstabbers colluded with your masters to commit genocide on your supposed Anioma brothers in 1967-70.
Mr Urhobo, cease from creating unnecessary attention for yourselves. Igbos don't need you and there's nothing you can use to brag against SS Igbos not mention the SE.
Usobo, it's time you faced OduaArewanistan republic. Your slave masters still love to have you as loyal, slavish subjects. By now should have enrolled in evening class to master Quranic verses. Remember to take crash courses in Hausa, Fulani and Yoruba languages for your survival sake.
QuotaSystem: Mate you clearly have not listened to RB.
I have personally heard the albino call for attacks on a Yoruba pastor, and on Hausa/Fulani. Callers call in frequently to express readiness to kill hausas and yorubas and they are encouraged. What does 'crushing the zoo' mean?
You can only deceive yourself.
at bolded, do you stay in the east or south? This one you said you personally heard from him lol.. Anyway it s a mere words that walks in the direction of motivation and freedom of his people. At bold2, Though what I heard from him is that the zoo must fall. The zoo must collapsed, Which is sarcastically displays the two animals in it.
Nothing like crushing the zoo, even though he said it, he may mean collapsed or fall. Though we humans read different meanings into words.
Who fights ferociously for a party and turns 180 degrees and fights ferociously for the opposition? This is a true display of character we are all familiar with. I was naive thinking it would end with Chief Edwin Clark as the last of their kind but it seems to be in their genes.
Using Port Harcourt as a case study is disingenuous when it is commonly known that the city is owned by two ethnic groups: Okrika(Ijaw) and Ikwerre(Igbo).

TonyeBarcanista: After the announcement of the result of March 28 Presidential election, I recall vividly how some of us brought about the idea of a collective unity of interest and purpose between the South-South and South East geopolitical zones within the Nigeria State. I remember calling for a restructured Nigeria that will promote the interests of all citizens irrespective of ethnic group. I also remember saying that in absence of that, a referendum be held among citizens to determine whether the people of the South South and South East prefer the present Nigeria structure that favours no one over a separate sovereign State, the Lower Niger Congress/Federation that will favor citizens of the region, and also define the right, interest and terms that is acceptable to all ethnic nationalities that make up the 'federation'. I remember maintaining that this struggle should not be seen as confrontation with other groups and regions but must be confined in the most legitimate manner. It should be one that promote the legitimate interest of the SSSE and not one that set the SS/SE against other regions. This remains my position!
Let me state that the struggle for a better Nigeria that promotes good governance, equity and fairness irrespective of ethnic, religious and political affiliation remains my primary objective. The LNF is meant to be an alternative where the hope for restructured Nigeria diminishes. Though some of my brothers either prefer a united Niger Delta Republic or an exclusive indivisible Nigeria. That however, will be determined by a referendum should there be any. I, shall however align myself with the position of my people.
The IPOB Struggle Not Our Interest The Mr Kanu-led IPOB struggle for an independent Biafra is not in conforminity with legitimate struggle for TWO basic reasons:
1. It promotes hate and violence against the State, other ethnic groups and also against members of Igbo ethnic nationality that does not share the Biafran ideology as preached by Kanu and his IPOB crew. Violence was never part of the UN charter on self-determination
2. The ethnic Nationalities in the Niger-Delta are yet to enter into any agreement with anybody as regard the composition, structure or otherwise of the IPOB proposed country. We are already facing a challenge in Nigeria where our forebearers in their wisdom failed to define terms of our unity as a country. In fact, we are working on correcting these anomalies legitimately.
In addition to the above, I find it disrespectful and insulting on the sensibilities of the Ijaws(Okrikans) and the Ikwerres over claim by some IPOB promoters that Portharcourt belongs to the Igbos and they will "reclaim" it. Unfortunately, no promoter of the IPOB struggle has stated otherwise. For the record, the status of Portharcourt as the exclusive ownership of the Okrikans(PH South) and the Ikwerres is non-negotiable. Specifically, not a single inch of Okrika and other Ijaw land, whether in PH or anywhere else will be surrendered to anyone under any guise.
I recognise and respect the right of everyone to self-determination but I have to state that the Kanu-led IPOB ideology is not what my people desire. I also respect the right of our Igbo brothers to their own interest but I disagree with call for violence as propagated by members of IPOB.
I remain committed to the interest of the Ijaw nation, the Niger-Delta region and also that of every good citizens of the Nigeria State whether Igbo, Yoruba, Berom, Fulani, Igala, Idoma etc.
May God Lead Us Right and Bless Nigeria
Years ago Adaka Boro betrayed the Igbos who voted him as their SUG governor
Some weeks ago, Clark deserted Jonathan.
Today you deserted Jonathan's friends by showing the world that you have not overcome the fear of Igbos.
Barcanista check your peoples history and you will realize that the Glory of the Ijaws radiate the most when they are in alliance with Igbos.
This fear of Igbos you have not overcome will be your Achilles heels
Like seriously, why do you care? I get really angry whenever I see you Igbos insisting that the non-Igbo 'SSners' are part of Biafra. Don't we ever learn? How can you keep being a brother's keeper to someone that doesn't regard you as a brother. Ifunanya nkea, o budi nke ndi mmuo ka o nke ndi mmadu? The other day, I saw some guy's comment called @truckpusher, claiming that Ndi Igbo were trying to distort their history and claim their lands. Y'all just keep making these people feel more important than they really are. What is it that they really have to offer us if I may ask? Oil? Please give me a break 'cause we have that in abundance in various parts of Igbo land.To be quite honest, I will feel the same way if I was in their shoes, 'cause it just doesn't make sense that someone you keep rejecting keeps coming back to you. Also, the fact that there are some non-Igbo SSners who want Biafra doesn't move me at all, because they are in a minority and will simply go the route the majority of their people want to go. Ndi Igbo are a great people and it should be the non-Igbo 'SSners' falling over their heads to be a part of Biafra, and not the other way round. Biko you guys should stop disgracing us and attracting unnecessary insult to us. God forbid that we begin to act like the Yoruba and Hausa people who have been forcing themselves on us, 'cause they can't survive on their own. They even went as far as fighting us for three good years just to have us as compatriots. What a shame! Is that the way you want people to start seeing us? Biko, my dream for Biafra is an Igbo only nation, consisting of the current Ebonyi state, Anambra, Anioma, Imo, Enugu, Abia and parts of Ala Igbo carved into Rivers state and Benue state. Anything aside this is just a disaster waiting to happen and I will certainly not want to be in the same country with people from these other ethnic groups, whom I simply can't trust.
patrick89: if biafra goes without you, you are gonna be stocked!!!
Don't be offended o but Why are Yorubas always proving to be cowards?
You mean the cowards in Aguleri who are getting slaughtered in numbers at the hands of the Igala but would rather do all it takes to conceal it? Lol! Now, all I could imagine is Yoruba cowards flogging Eze and his goons of losers in Akure! Lol! Shameless people!

What is the status of Port Harcourt under Nigeria? Why do it's locals keep 13% of it's economic proceeds and have to wait for the federal government to repair it's airport? Why is it that under Nigeria some are proud to have 0 control of 'their territory' as is the case in Nigeria, but when Biafra is brought up they begin acting as if someone is getting ready to 'take' something from them. Something that has already been token. If an Ijaw man wanted his environment cleaned up, will it happened? Can he claim to even own Bayelsa is if he keeps 13% of it's proceeds?
Ijaw land has already surrendered. If it hasn't show my your Ijaw passport.

Osu stop exposing your ignorance, yes violence is strength of emotion, and yes you can secure a criminal conviction by ordering violence on a people without actually implementing it. Refer to Nigerian Criminal Code Act 1990 (subsection 42) (note the word 'advises'). This is why Nnamdi Kanu will rot in jail IF tried and found guilty of treasonable felony.
This said, I have not heard Kanu call for members of any tribe to be killed, but has rather consistently maintained that those in uniform killing innocent protesters should be targeted for reprisal attacks..
IGBOPRINCE: at bolded, do you stay in the east or south? This one you said you personally heard from him lol.. Anyway it s a mere words that walks in the direction of motivation and freedom of his people. At bold2, Though what I heard from him is that the zoo must fall. The zoo must collapsed, Which is sarcastically displays the two animals in it. Nothing like crushing the zoo, even though he said it, he may mean collapsed or fall. Though we humans read different meanings into words. Biko nwelu nwayo na ife ga di nma na obodo anyi . Just with time bro
Ozin: @ Barcanista I respect your view but in total disagreement with your write-ups. Nnamdi the Biafra director has not said anything different from what the APC said before they came into power,he has not said anythying different from what Buhari said years back before he became the President,nothing different from the Oba of Lagos,Elrufai,Atiku ,Asari Dokuboh, Murtala Nyako,Niger Delta militants etc. Do you think this country with the way it is structured and skewed to the advantage of the Hausa-Fulani will ever let the Niger-Delta or Biafra go easily without massive propaganda like that coming from Nnamdi?...Not in this life time, mere Federalism can not be implemented just because of fear of being disadvantaged economically due to their mental laziness. I am from AkwaIbom...Oron to be precise and I am in total support of his mode of operation.Buhari spoke in 2011 and many were killed, this guy has said so many things and no where has it been reported that someone was killed because of his hate speech. If Nnamdi must face treason,Buhari and his goons in government and the Niger Delta militants must also face same.
Whoever wants to leave must be allowed to leave this force,false and slavery marriage Nigeria
Eediot still living in the rocks! Better get yourself time machine to know that Buhari said nada! As a matter of fact, the person that made such slander against Buhari was sued to court and have to compensate Buhari for damages and all! Yeye man!
joeprince23: @TonyeBarcanista I understand that u don't wanna sound politically incorrect,but I'm an upland rivers-man just like u are a riverine person and as riverine people a skeptical with the word biafra republic the same goes to we upland people with niger-delta republic.... I can assure u that as an indigene and resident of rivers-state the protest I saw in ikwerre road was was surely majorly carried out by indigenes of the state,they were even isolated protests at my hometown oyigbo and ogoni lands.
See this Anambra guy that was busted not too long by hopesathand is still claiming Portharcourt man! Yeye man with no shame!

we all understood the direction of tonyebarcanista's word of violence, he meant the use of force to cause chaos,anarchy and injury in the state or societies. That s the violence we all know he s talking about, if you gave it a meaning to another way round , that s own fvcking dictionary cos I am a fvcking biafran and we never engaged on a fvcking violence. So let nigeria do their worst and expects more from us.
wirinet: Barcanista's views represents the views of most tribes of the Nigerdelta, except Igbo related communities. We do not care about Biafra but would hate to dragged along with Igbo agitations for succession. If Nigeria were to split, we would prefer to be on our own.
So IPOD and Kanu sould quit mentioning Nigerdelta anytime he makes is case for Biafra.
Mr Itsekiri, it's time you ceased creating unnecessary attention for yourselves. If your ethnic group is worth your silly rants you wouldn't form the shameful habit of always doing attaché to SS-Igbos who don't need you.
Stop lumping yourselves with Igbos; you're not needed. In the Nigeria of today the arrogant, greedy and backstabbing Itsekiri are no force to reckon with. Itsekiri people have proven over time to stand for nothing unlike their closest ethnic group in Delta State.
Tell your disgruntled folks to cease maligning Igbos on IPOB issues. Igbos are not your mates! In fact it's an insult on the Igbo Nation for the human resources in one LGA in Igboland to be compared to Itsekiri people!
Igbos are not interested in parasites, backstabbers, traitors or genocide conspirators. The Igbo struggle is strictly for hard-working achievers and goal-getters, and not for lazy cowards who have only survived by being stooges and weak-minded fellows, and are gullibly satisfied with the few crumbs their slave masters throw at them while the slave masters continue to enslave, plunder and rape the commonwealth and resources to better their own region, religion and elites!
There's oil in Anambra, Abia, Enugu and Imo. The whole of Enugu and Anambra States are sitting on Gas deposits; Coal at Enugu, Lime stone for cement in Abakaliki; rice in Ebonyi State, Abia State - highest producer of cocoa; West Africa's largest market at Onitsha, Anambra; big markets at Aba, Abia state and Nnewi, Anambra State. Even without reliance on crude oil the Igbos have excelled and are more than ever before capable of doing more exploits and competing with World powers!
Is there any resource or positive virtue you can ever use to brag against The Igbo Nation, that should warrant operating on the same pedestal - brawn, brain, beauty, natural and human resources, achievements, personalities, international links, sports, entertainment etc.?
This is not a matter of using charms to disfigure your whole body for protection and in the end you end up been whipped silly by a less political group.
Do well to face OduaArewanistan republic where you're most needed as loyal, slavish subjects.
It pays to not to be arrogant, greedy, hateful, treacheerous and lousy.
Kennyfancy: am an urhobo boy bt i cn beat my chest that d ijaw ar even accomodating more dan we urhobo, bt d itsekiri,( cunning people) run whn u see them
OfoIgbo: As it happens, Oyigbo lga and Ogba-Ndoni-Egbema lga are the two largest oil producing LGAs in Nigeria.
Both LGAs are Igbo LGAs in Rivers state, and it is a reality that must be a source of discomfort to Igbo haters. To make matters worse, Anambra state and Imo state have the largest gas reserves in Nigeria. I believe rat poison may be the major drink this night by our haters
