The Ndokis or whatever you call them are settlers around the Abia/Akwa Ibom border. They are NOT Indegenes. It's just like calling Igbos in Festac or Alaba Lagos indegenes. That they made Amuwo odoofin their home does not in any way make them Lagos indegenes.

@OP you need to remove your mask. Ijaw and ALL ethnic nationalities in Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross river and Akwa Ibom are NOT and has never been Biafrans.

2. When Ojukwu declared is Biafra, he was Governor of Eastern state that exclude Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Cross river. Old Rivers and Old Cross river were already created by Gowon.

3. We(SS) fought against Biafra because it was Ojukwu and his majority Igbo backers project.

4. Biaffra is an Igbo agenda though I may agree that not all Igbos are pro-Biafrans, but majority are. #Fact






This is thrash....



Only on social media do people have the courage to be this stupid. #Fact? Really? You should allow yourself be educated.

Thank you so much bro, SS has all the capacities to form a separate state, all igbo speaking communities must not be in BIAFRA, the 5 igbo states big enough to form an independent state. Ernest shoneken was interim president for three months and today he gets all the respect of a formal head of state, but Nwafor orizu was also an interim president for the same three months in this country, no body remembers anything about him ,and am sure some you have not heard this name but make your research. And you tell me this marriage is fair, BIAFRA will come like a WIND, it may not be now but sure it must come as long as it still remains in every igbo mans hearth

Now about Biafra, why I don't fully support Biafra is this-
1) The current method which is being used to agitate for it (Radio biafra nd Nnamdi Kanu).
2) Why did the agitation increase immediately Buhari won the Presidency..(It makes the Biafra struggle look politically motivated)
3) Is Biafra truly the solution ?, Igbos have had leaders in good positions in the Country, I didn't see how that benefited the tribe, we have Governors, senators, house members, commissioners, Local govt Chairmen who are meant to develop the state, but they don't do that, the emblezze the allocations...what is the assurance nd guarantee that it wouldn't still happen..
I expect Igbos to address this issues properly before the should start talking about Biafra..

Leave our history.. Till now Nigeria don't know the exact history of Ijaws.. Am Not exactly sure if you people have one..

if Niger Delta republic is an Ijaw agenda , Then we did rather be a slave to the ijaw people than Kalu Greedy Phatom biafra..

which tribe can ijaw dominate in SS? can ijaw dominate Urhobo? or can they dominate Itsekiri , or can they dominate Edo or Ikwere ?.. All tribe in SS re equal nobody greater than anybody, Ijaw know there boundary, Urhobo knows there boundary, Ikwerre knows there boundary , We re better been Together in SS than any greedy biafra.. our position is very clear.

Afam4eva:
I've always maintained that Nigerians have to be the most illiterate people in the world and it rings more true foe people who are supposedly educated. A look at the vibrant and harcore Pro Biafrans and the opposisinf Pro Nigeria, you will discover the penchant by these people to mistake both terms. For the sake of those illiterate, let me explain the difference between these two people and how they intertwine.

Igbo is an ethnic group based in West Africa, chiefly in southeastern Nigeria (Wikipedia). This means that even though Igbos are mainly in the South East, there also Igbos outside the South-East in Northern parts of Delta state, some parts of Rivers state and the Ndoki areas of Akwa Ibom state.

Biafra, officially the Republic of Biafra, is often referred to as a secessionist state in then southeastern Nigeria that declared its independence from 30 May 1967 to 15 January 1970, taking its name from the Bight of Biafra (the Atlantic bay to its south).

Furthermore, the secessionist state which was declared by the defacto leader, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu included people of the old eastern region (Igbos, Efiks, Ijaws etc) by virtue of the fact that these groups found themselves in that region and he happened to be the governor. That is why the Igbos across the Niger in places like Asaba and the likes were not part of the secessionist state because they were in the Mid west region.

So, as it stands today, Biafra which may come in different pseudonym is a movement of people who are mostly Igbos but not supported by majority of Igbo people and as such should not be classified as an Igbo movement but can be classified as a group of Igbo people. It is wrong and silly to assume that every Igbo person supports Biafra or use the term interchangeably with Igbo.

My problem with all this biafra agitators is that when you try to counter their points they resort to insult why? Is it that the only they can say is give us biafra? And cannot prove why they should be given?

What is this one saying?

Important roads, hospitals, and some government artifacts in Akwa-Ibom and Cross river are named after some notable sons and daughters of Akwa/Cross. In fact, you'd see more Igbo monuments in Lagos than in Akwa/Cross or even anywhere else in SS for that matter. That is why I don't know why you Igbos hate Yorubas so much. Those people are very accommodating. No Igboish sounding name can even dare to vie for ordinary councilor in the SS (minus Delta and Rivers upland areas)
Also when mentioning notable Akwa/Cross sons and daughters, nowhere will you hear of that Effiong guy. And yes we have a lot of respected men and families in Akwa/Cross.

Sweetmelon, Look at how u foolishly displayed your deep seated hatred for a tribe that doesn't give a flying Bleep about you.. change your ways dear.

Back 2 d topic, I keep saying it that the argument Igbos make with our south-south neighbours about this biafra ish, makes it seem as if the igbos are desperately in need of them..

Fact is that Igbos don't need south-south to secede. Igbos have never needed them anytime in history, so pls stop giving them the avenue to feel important.

Cc: tonyebarcanista, sweetmelon, nduchucks and who ever cares to know, pls read my lips: "Igbos like me have never wished for any south-south state to be part of biafra if at all there is biafra in the future, the south-south has never been richer or more intelligent or hardworking than its south-east neighbour, so please we truly don't need the south-south, thank you!..

Agitation for Biafra has always been huge even under GEJ.

This was on May 30th, a day after GEJ handed over.

I am Igbo..nd I am sincerely tired of people or other tribes talking down/thrash abt my tribe...

I don't knw why some of my Igbo people drag SS into Igbo matter...

If the (SS) say that the have nothing to do with Igbos, let them be naaa...

We keep making this people fell excessively Important undecided..

The facts are always the fact...arguments don't change fact.. If a community in SS speaks Igbo, dresses likes Igbos, bear Igbo names, automatically the are Igbo people...we don't need to argue over it...
Afam4eva nd co, the girl from Akwa Ibom has told u that no Igbo indigenous group is in Akwa Ibom, why not let that be, it wouldn't change the fact -if there are Indigenous Igbos there ?, it now seems as if u are begging them to accept that Igbos are indigenous in some of their community- this is highly illogical, uncalled for nd silly...

We true Igbos (by true Igbos I mean people who have fully accepted our lovely tribe without arguments) are not interested in anybody who doesn't want to be part of us undecided... Live nd let live...
"Biri kam biri"..
Stop giving this SS minorities reasons to talking sh!t abt the Igbo tribe...Leave them alone.... Everyday dem d create topic to tell Igbos hw the are not part of u, or how the hate Igbos...
