If i tell u that over80% igbos dnt knw that there is a tribe in nigeria called ISHEKIRI.you may doubt me.ishekiri again?notin biafra no go hear

On the contrary, you should say 80% of Igbos who are ignorant and do not attune their ears to the happenings in Nigeria do no know of Itsekiri. C'mon, Itsekiri is the largest producer of Crude in Delta State. Also, haven't you heard of Olu of Warri? Kindly give your people a roadmap but certainly this constant wailing and excessive nagging will not work.

blaqoracle:
Why bother yourself? The igbos dont have the capacity to wage war; they cant even defend their so called five states, let alone leading an invation. The current noise about biafra is an attempt to mask their political miscalculation and misadventure of supporting jonathan's failed 3rd term bid. However, jonathan has since recovered from the shock and moved, even edwin clark an avowed pugilistic supporter of jonathan have all moved on, yet the igbos are still ruminating over a defeat they can not undo.

even Tompolo has asked for reconciliation for a better Nigeria .Asari Dokubo has been deaf and dumb lately but these Biafrans are stubbornly O.Y.O!

Goodboiyy:
was warri part of the territory they were defending ?, You need to see what you people did to us.. stop forming saint here.. Don't dare drag Us into any senseless war.. That my Take.

bye

let them try this time,and see how the ol black-race will decend on them!!!......

africa is tired of wars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......... ...finish killing!!!..................we are tired of killings!!!...

The kind of comments i see on nairaland is truely irritating, the kind of hatereds some people have for igbos is alarming. Well i am proud to be an igbo man and will always wish to come from SE in my next 500 billion years, all i want is biafra with or without SS i don't give a damm. Note: i don't owe anybody apology for this my comment, anyhow you see it i don't care. I think is time i apply the principle of my brothers FIRST in dealing with people. Nonsense

Bro, don't ever let the nonsense people spew online mess up your relationships with people offline. I have learnt to ignore what people say online especially tribalistoc comments.

I have been to 16 of Nigeria's state's including all the SE states apart from Ebonyi. What I have discovered is that my brother is who wishes me well irrespective of whether he is Ijaw, Efik, Berom, Hausa, or Ogoja.

I'm a proud Yoruba man from Ogun State, but my next of kin is my niece who was born to my aunt who married an Onitsha man. I'm from the same state with Obasanjo, Dimeji Bankole, Osinbajo, Adenuga, Shonekan, etc and it doesn't bring me any pecuniary benefit whatsoever.

Whatever you do, please don't let this cyber cancer get into your head. If you do, it is finished!

It is an error on the part of those who mapped Itsekiri into Biafra, Niger Delta or no Niger Delta Itsekiri belongs to Oduduwa. Anioma are fully in support of our brothers in the Eastern region but we don't support war.

DMerciful:
Benue has been tormented by the Fulani herdsmen yet you want to happily continue in ur misery...nonsense

Who asked for your help mr biafran hero?

There will be no Biafra Republic,there will be no Niger Delta Republic . But Hausa Fulani go one day hear wwing! Yoruba Na wona sabi! Cunning Cunning!!!

thanks bro u have a valid point, just that the rate @ which these guys are going about it spewing trash about tribes is not helping matters, @ times you will be almost tempted to join the wagon. Anyway i still stand on treating people individually rather than group. Thanx 4 ur words

Uwc sire. Have a nice day.

alaskido:
In as much as I do not like the country to be divided, I believe the Niger Delta states that produce the oil should be well taken care of. Majority of the Oil blocks are owned by the northerner and few by the Yorubas. Why not distribute these oil blocks equally amongst the ethnic groups.

The Iteshkiri man is a coward. If Delta State is too hot for them, they should move to their origin which is ODUDUWA.

normally characters like u should b ignored,but for dsake of d public,i say d itsekiriman is one of the most reasonable nigerian,He thinks before he act,he exhuast all humanly possible avenues to solve any issue,he doesnt se violence as a means of addressing a challenge,but wen provoked,He fight u to d end,ask d ijaws and d urhobos,who tried to annex warri and change the title of the olu of Warri through d backdoor.

am pretti sure ur understanding of cowardise is misguided and spiced wit roadside OGOGORO.

ITSHEKIRI IS A PART OF YORUBA SPEAKING TRIBE BEFORE, WHO WILL TAKE THEM SERIOUS..


#IN IBO'S VOICE

A point of correction:The yorubas never claimed to be Itshekiris and the Itshekiris never claimed to be Yorubas.So neither of the tribess were imposing itself on each other.But the camaderie that exist between both tribes is unbeatable and so do others

Even in delta state,ishekiris ar regarded and treated as immigrants from Yoruba.lives in the swamps wit fishes as best delicacy,if even urhobo whom they ar in constant quarel wit dnt regard them.how then comes igbos need such marine migrant minorities,let them face their nativity problems in delta first .i am sure ishekiris av more fish than oil and arnt needed by BIAFRA PLS

The case of Igbo's biafra will be like South Sudan.

After many years of claiming they were the reason for Sudan's success, the UN finally allowed South Sudan have their country. The joy barely lasted 24 hours after the declaration of independence. Since then it's been war with various groups fighting for power.

South Sudan is argueably worse today than it was under Sudan - and many keep fleeing the war to Europe.

South south will not join Biafra for many reasons - most elites in the south south are content with how Nigeria operates at the moment and they are too scared to experiment with a new nation.

To the igbo biafrans I say GOODLUCK

Let me add to your comment by saying several South Sudanese have returned back to the same Sudan they left in the anticipation that South Sudan will be transformed into Africa's Hong Kong.

We know people like you!
Yeye Fl@thead!

Goodboiyy:
Igbo started it, They started the atrocities b4 Nigeria Army.. it was after the capture of Mid-West by Nigeria army that wen The asaba mascare happened (I was against that) . So stop crying fowl.. We choose not to talk about the atrocities of Biafra Army, But If you want me to tell you, I will.

so you better call your Kalu of a guy and tell him to Remove Warri from his map.. na that 1 they vex me and my people

Just seeing this. Bro, so many lies have been told by these people to whip up sympathy and claim their favourite victim role.

Read what Godwin Alabi-Isala said in response to the calamity of a book written by Achebe 'there was a country'

Asaba Massacre
This was on the night of 8th August, 1967 at about 10pm. I was the commander of the Federal troops of 4th Area Command at Asaba. The Biafran troops broke the barricade on Niger River bridge and went straight to a place called “Ogbe Hausa” at the cable point; where the Hausa community lived. Biafran troops pounced on them and killed many of them. The few that escaped were moved down at Onitsha end, the people jubilated. Before my troops could reach me to report the situation, about 20 Biafran troops attacked me at the catering Rest House where I was living at the time. I fought my way through, and overpowered the 20 Biafran troops and reported the situation to my boss Major Henry Igboba at Agbor (the story of how I did that is contained in my book).

When the tide turned and the Federal Troops recaptured the Midwestern Region and Asaba, the Hausas among them retaliated by killing the people at Asaba. The Hausa who were there had never denied doing that.

LOL...If you talk of crude oil in delta without calling Itsekiris then you are misguided. They are largest the producer of crude oil in the state, without them delta will be the lowest oil producing state so get your facts right.

Observant:
Igbos started it by defending there territory?
Igbos marched up north to kill Nigeria army first ba?

Igbos were even the first to drop bomb in Lagos - Yaba market and Casino.
Is/was that their territory?

lol....
biafrans are now showing their true colour and mark my words if they seceed other smaller parts will develop but eastern parts will lack especially if they insist on claiming the south moreover Benin are Yoruba decent there will always b a bileteral relationship also with d yorubas and hausas but eastern part I dnt know be careful of what u wished also d chances for eastern part to develop would b slimmer because real ibos love business and they will prefer to trade where there is more chances for their business to strive even if they left southwest and south south they will surely come back to trade and by that time the opportunities they have now in togetherness won't b there b careful of what u wished for

belzabull:
The whole of delta north is igbo and igboid groups not only asaba. FYI, I'm from aniocha south. Stop misinforming people

Only Aniocha/Oshimli are ibos in Delta! Ika and Ukwuani are not ibos!
Sink that into your head!

Rayhut:
You think that if war break out that you will have monopoly of killing people and they will be looking at you, one drop of nuclear or atomic bomb in any part of Nigeria is enough wipe out anybody living in Nigeria, If Nigeria start killing igbos rampantly, Igbos will retaliate by dropping dropping chemical, biological weapons and nuclear and atomic bomb in the west, north and everybody living in Nigeria will die then Ghana and other African country will come and take over Nigerian land, 1967 is not 2015, say no to WAR or genocide agenda.

Guy! Stop dis ur foolish chestbeatin nd day-dreamin. So Igbos hav dat technolgy to produce atomic/nuclear bomb nd yet dia south-east homeland is still lookin primitive, backward nd unda-devlopd? U think nuclear technolgy is a child's play? Even common bicycle hav u bin able to produce it? Or u think it is China where u go to get fake goods dat wil dash u atomic weapon. Mr man, stop deceivin urself.

Knw dat u can only deceiv strangers who hav not bin to Warri wit dis ur online propaganda but not Warri pipo. because evry Warri resident today knw very well dat d Olu of Warri is just a mere title crafted by Awolowo nd his powers ar restricted to only Itsekiri communities of Warri city, i.e, Ajanmogha, Ugbuwangue, Ifie, Ekurede-Itsekiri, Pessu, Ubeji, e.t.c. The Olu does not hav any authority or influence over any Urhobo communities in Warri city such as Agbassa, Igbudu, Okumagba Layout/Estate, Okere-Urhobo, Okurode-Urhobo, Ogunu, Edjeba, Ukpokiti, e.t.c.[b]i

That I made mistake with the ocean is not a reason to display your stupidity. I was thinking you will go to verify if the land in question has boundary with the ocean. But no, your an online warrior.

my brother , igbos are productive and industrious than you guys
yoruba shouldnt claim lagos ,ondo?...oh my God!!! you must be a dreamer cos even parts of delta belongs to igbo and yoruba.
fyi..am a kogites and we have alot of history with the yorubas..maybe ur ignorance has made you not to realise kogi was part of the old kwara nd benue state.
yoruba own lagos,ondo,kwara.

Setaje:
Sorry the igbos committed terrible atrocities. My dad saw everything. If not for the Nigerian troops, they would have taken over naija delta wiv the help of the anioma. Anioma people secretly helped biafra. But when the Nigerian troops came in they were d same people pointing out who the real igbos were and denied being pure igbo. My dad's principal was killed in front of them. The Igbo troops killed a lot of minority groups. Starting from porthacourt.


The only people I think that might be loyal to your course is anioma. As far as I no, they have never been trusted by pure delta people. Just as u people see them as fake igbos, the Nigerian delta see them as traitors. That's my observation. But my friend amaka will never agree she is igbo. Strange.

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.”
