Some tribes speak Yoruba in Edo and Delta state. Why is yoruba not claiming Edo and Delta state the way igbo is claiming Rivers and Delta states because some people speak ibo in those states?
My brother i tire for them oh..If you bear Chika and you are from delta or bayelsa, that place don turn to Igbo land oh...Igbos are the ones hindering the biafra struggle from materializing because they are going about it the wrong way.

The problem with a Black man is in his head. He just cannot reason like a human. Totally lack the capacity to reason.

That tells u everything u want to know.

To start with Nigéria itself is fraud but they are Happy suffering and smiling like they cant see the misery they living in.

Its funny when people say oh how come Igbo leaders blah blah. U mean ohaneze. As long as Nigeria is fraud then everything about it is meaningless.

So make no mistake Biafra is your only saviour not Even your private jet pastor come close.

In the end Biafra is here. We expect more of writing in the coming weeks
you can have your biafra but leave south south out of it or yoruba will come in to help our south-south brothers and yoruba will deal with you mercilessly

You don't even have the right or power to force any part except the predominant Igbo state to join Biafra. Kurds Yoruba Fulani Slavs Berber, Arabs, Zulu are divided among several nationality n are living in peace. Nigeria owe you just 5 predominant Igbo speaking states

so all the environment you have now fr business isnt enough...your pple are in kano,lagos ,even kaduna central market doing their business without harasmnt...but you want the pple to alow yours to decide the fate of the state before you feel the environment is conducive abi? considering the fact that we dont have hausa or yoruba traders making issues in aba or onitcha market should keep you shut...the truth remains the fact that your pple are undiplomatic..domineering and ungreatfull...we wont take that expecially in the north..very soon the lagosian will put you were you belong
Maidugiri was conducive till people who dont work hard started eyeing our hard earned wealth.
Lagos is conducive but our hosts now expect us to leak their feet because we are doing well
Kano is conducive but we wake up everyday understanding that our freedom to practice our religion is under threat
Kaduna is conducive and I believe you know where in Kaduna that we can do business.

I guess countries that have their citizens in USA and UK should be conducting thanksgiving for the US/Uk government every year to show that they are grateful.

We claim equal rights and yet some believe you are a foreigner in a city in your country where you work, earn, pay tax, build...

I should thank you? The way you thank who?

HYPOCRISY is when YORUBA people claim some part of Kwara, Kogi, Lagos as Yoruba land when Igbos claim the Igbo speaking areas of some part of Delta, Rivers and Edo as part of Igbo land, YORUBA'S will start shouting land grabbing, oil thief, is this not hypocrisy at highest level, if Igbo go with only 5 Igbo state and leave the rest of the Igbo land, then Yoruba should leave Lagos, Kwara, Kogi and parts of Ondo ilaje axis alone.
You have problem with comprehension. Yorubas are not claiming anything because the last time I checked it is these people themselves that are voicing out their Yoruba origin. Because these people claimed to be Yorubas and hausa/fulanis that does not mean that I a Yoruba from Oyo will be the one to decide for them who will govern them or where they should belong to. We have Yorubas scattered all over others countries but that does not mean in case of disintegration that areas they occupied automatically becomes Oodua republic unlike what you biafrauds are killing yourselves over.




Btw, are you claiming Ilajes are Igbos too?

Let Igbos fight for their secession without dragging other tribes into it. And if they go about it in a civilized manner, they might actually find sympathy and support from some other nationalities.

The current campaign of hate and violence against Nigeria WILL NEVER achieve Biafra for them. It has never worked and it will not work in Nigeria.

Think of Chechnya in Russia, Syrian civil war, Rwanda, and many other violent attempt at secession and tell me which one has been successful.

War no be beans. Make IPOB borrow themselves brain.
This is the main thing I have continued to harp on, the IPOB movement has spent the vast majority of it's time basing it's emancipation from the nigerian state on hate and the idea of harnessing the SS into the BIAFRA map and keeping the "oyel out of the hands of the almajiri and their gambari slaves".

No socio-economic policy no political planning, no cohesion, as is between the BIAFRA states there is infighting and a caste system developing where ABIA, IMO, DELTA igbo etc are being rated as either pure or otherwise , the same tribal and ethno-centric dilemma present in Nigeria would be carries over to BIAFRA and even worse, a strong invasive tribe with little morals would suffer and via gentrification snuff out the other tribes.

BIAFRA does not offer equality to the Itsekiri, Ijaw etc , it offers

- Economic damnation of the Igbo tribe themselves
- Political marginalization of minority groups
- Political strife and ethnic jousting within the new state
- Unethical economic competition
- Political disturbance within west Africa and a possible war with Nigeria, I have no doubt the desire of the harden BIAFRA agitators id not secession for economic or social gain but rather a desire for vengeance, to draw blood. A warped want to WIN one over "those hausa/fulani and Yoorooober ba5tards" !

But if that is what they want, I'm sure through the UN they can get it, with patience and the right moves.

Mumu mentality. Okun is a sub-Yoruba group. Yorubas don't claim them, they claim to be Yorubas and back that up with historical evidence. Both Yorubas and Igalas agreed that their ancestors are related. The geographical location of Okun and Igala people put us in the position to call ourselves Northerners when we want and as Yoruboid when it suits us. That is a win-win for us.

That's the real issue.

They need the sea ports.

Unfortunately, that's the one thing nature hasn't given.

That's the rationale for PH and Akwa Ibom being seduced....if only.
Yes you're correct bkos we only need the sea...we don't even need the oil kos we can always buy from Gabon and equatorial Guinea grin
Moreover we've the coastline(its called Igwenga and its made up of opobo and andoni LGs) but this is where AKS comes in..kos without AKS,Igwenga would become an exclave of Biafra embarassed
Anyway if AKS fails to come with us,we can always pay the Ogoni and lavish them with generous concessions to ensure that our right of passage between Biafra and its Igwenga exclave is preserved and even protected by them gringrin while our marines stationed at opobo would ensure that there are no tricks from you guys smiley

Joker, my in-laws are from kogi and very much Yoruba, I doubt the Delta Igbo have denied being from delta or having acentral links to the greater central Igbo tribes, but they may have dis-associated themselves from some core Igbo agenda( r some people among them). The solution is a referendum where every man gets a chance to voice is opinion at the polling boot, and then a discuss can start after that about how to accommodate the varying interests.

Otherwise the same mistakes made by the British in 1914 would be repeated

WARRI—THE Itsekiri ethnic nationality of Warri,
Delta State, has dissociated itself from the calls for
creation of a Biafra Republic out of Nigeria as being
drummed by some Igbo interest groups in the
South-East.


The Itsekiri Leaders of Thought, ILT, expressed the
group’s concern over the Igbo agitation
yesterday in a statement by its Chairman, Pa
Johnson Ayomike and Secretary, Edward Ekpoko.


The body is disturbed that the proposed Biafra
Republic as widely reported in the social media
includes the whole of Delta State.


The statement stressed: “We recall with pains the
day the defunct Biafran Army invaded Warri and
Benin in the then Midwest Region on August 9,
1967.


Never again will the Itsekiri tolerate such
invasion. The Itsekiri nation is committed to the
unity of Nigeria and will do all it can to promote and protect it as one indivisible country.


As Major
General Philip Effiong said on January 14 1970, the
Republic of Biafra ceased to exist. We, the Itsekiri,
wish it to be eternally so for the peace and
development of our great nation.”

Benue is neither part of north nor SE, however over several years, through corporation they have been able to realize their political agenda and interest through lobbying and aligning with different interests be it with PDP(GEJ) in 2011 or with APC(2015).

It does not seem the vast majority of SE political class and voting block can ever be able to get their act together, they sped their time bickering and resisting progress so long their "perceived enemies" get a share of the collective success even at their own loss

If you are a Christian and yet to realise that Nigeria islam has assume a political, dangerous and destructive dimension, i suggest that you ask Gowon and Danjuma the condition of his kinsmen despite their support for the Islamic north.

Only few days ago fulani herdsman kidnapped a Yoruba elder statesman, and even sent Kwakwaso to shut the entire Yoruba land up yet their young men will go to the end of the world to find stories that is anti Biafra.

If you are a Christian in any part of Nigeria, tell me where will you run to when they come for you. You delusional to think that a man who made a public declaration and had sworn in the name of God that he will continue to show openly and inside him the total islamisation of the Nigeria is a saviour and will guarantee you your freedom of worship without a pre-condition. . Remember this same question was asked recently by Aljazeera and he did not deny it.

Ask christians in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Indonesia etc

As for Biafrans, Only the bereaved deserved comfort. we recognise how powerful our enemies are, they killed us in millions and brag about it, and have even made a new declaration to repeat the massacre again.

Our courage and consolation is found in our History Book which is the Bible, and this is what it said;

ISAIAH 14:21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

You have been warned , don't come online to say we betray you , Cous we never had any agreement with IPOB regarding our land been included in There map.. Any attempt to force us, Then be ready to Deal with Yoruba/Edo Army..

Don't say we didn't warn you.

Its Official
you are a very big fool. who are you warning?

I can remember that you have been told times without number that an igboman wants ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the an itsekiri man as we have ABSOLUTELY nothing in common. We have always told you this on different threads but as an attention seeking fool that you are looking for relevance, you keep shouting like a mad man. We consider you as yorubas, go with your south west people. Only Delta north (Anioma) where i come from will go with our kith and kins in the south east, and the Igbo indigenes in rivers state.
