I write filled with so much pity for all the South South individuals who has resolved to keep being blind to the obvious truth, but rather have chosen to be and remain in bed with strange bed fellows, the north and their co conspirators against the old Eastern region.

The claim and saying that the civil war WAS OF THE IGBO, BY THE IGBO AND FOR THE IGBO was and is nothing but a repugnant lie!

During the Jos 1945 massacre, I make bold to ask were the victims of the massacre asked if they were Igbo or not, before been massacred?
The answer is simply NO!
They were outrightly identified as Easterners and that was that.
The Easterners were their target not minding if you're Efik, Ibibio, Anang, Ogoja, Ijaw, Igbo and even some Midwestern people were then fell to their blood baying swords. Tribes like Itshekiri, Urohbo lost their loved ones.
Now I ask is it a war of the IGBO? This I will like you the reader to answer by yourself.
The wanton killings continued after independence as the north with the help of the colonial Britain manipulated the census by inflating the population of the north in other to give them an advantageous position to Lord over You and I, in the contraption called independent Nigeria.

The northerners all became power drunk, feeling that treating other ethnic nationalities in a way that can be best described as making them feel inferior.
They began exuding this superiority complex and often asserted that they were born to rule.
Remembere the Ahmad Bello interview in the parrot Nnewspaper? In the interview Ahmad Bello emphasized that, Nigeria is the caliphate of their father Othman Dan Fodio. In other words this ownership syndrome of the north didn't start today.

This went on for a while within the first republic, what the common masses were faced with as citizens was not what they all fought for in the face of death during the struggle.

Many sacrificed their lives, paying the ultimate price in other to obtain freedom from the colonial masters only to be recolonized internally by the north.
What a pity! (Neocolonialism) as independence in exchange for colonialism.

We have been so shortchanged by Britain, we were carried away in the euphoria of the word "Independence" and failed to see in time that there was an ongoing plot behind the much anticipated independence. (One Chance)!
The newly discovered oil in the riverine areas of the old eastern region, was an interest too much to forgo by the British.

This was the true reasons behind the Harold Smith 1958 census and it's manipulation, inflating the population of the desert north to a position of been perpetually advantaged politically and deflating the population of the arid south to a position of been perpetually disadvantaged politically. It was the final nail in the coffin of the acclaimed independent nation Nigeria.
To the British,the tactful but successful execution of the plot has alienated other ethnic nationalities that make up the new independent nation, thereby they have a neo colonised Nigeria to serve their greedy selfish oil business and other colonial interest.

A son of the SS today, a product of British/Northern divide and conquer mechanism to weaken the then Eastern region, spearheaded the first coup d'etat. The coup saw to the end of the first republic. Amongst the plotters were representatives of many ethnic nationalities, though the Yoruba officers were more in number than the Hausa, Igbo and the Middle belt.

Though unfortunately the Middle belt has been coersed today by the feudalistic north under the name North central.

When the coup took place, there were reports that the Nigerian people were happy and saw it as a welcome development, but it was short lived as the highest ranking officer that became the President, was an Igbo man, General Aguinyi Ironsi.
The coup plotters and executors were not driven by selflessness and patriotism. the quest for power and selfishness, rather they were driven by selflessness and patriotism to correct the anomaly created by the British colonial masters (Neocolonialism). The selflessness of the coup they exhibited when the coup plotters stepped aside allowing the most senior officer at the time be pronounced the President.
This singular act proved that the coup, was not for their own power seeking, but for the people.
The masses were reported to have been basked in euphoria

The euphoria was short lived, as the northerners who has been in power and have seen it as their birthright felt estranged and shortchanged without it.

The thought alone was a pill too bitter to swallow, especially as someone from the East an Igbo man, whom ordinarily an Hausa/Fulani person has a deep envy for, turned out to be the new Head of State.

The northerners immediately a secret meeting was called where the ressolution to take back power from the new Head of State at all cost, was made.

Immediately they got the ball rolling using their best mechanisms, to reach out to their street urchins (Almajiris) which is, the religious institution, the Mosques and the traditional institutions, the Emirs and the Sultan. The lies was quickly concocted and given to this two institutions to run to the people with, spreading the falsehood that the coup was an Igbo coup.
This falsehood spread like wild fire and before you could know it the Easterners became an endangered specie all over the north.

The next move was their oligarchs demanding that the coupists be executed to help calm the rampage that was already ongoing in the north.

The Head of State General Aguinyi Ironsi, in the interest of the nation had the coupists arrested and jailed, their fate was yet to be determined, as they were already behind bars, whilst in motion is the plot for a counter coup.

Having achieved the first phase, which was to have the coupists jailed, since they were the ones capable of foiling the plot for counter coup, they felt sure to a great extent that their counter coup plot would be a sucess.

Aguinyi Ironsi an Igb son was so detribalized as against the picture of the Igbo's been painted today by the SS.
Aguinyi Ironsi was warned of his most trusted officer T Y Danjuma, but in his detribalized nature refused to believe the warning nor heed the advice to remove him and actually have a reshuffle amongst the people who are in charge of the sensitive positions, he bed end like the armoury and briga
Then came the counter coup of the northerners. This coup saw to the death of Aguinyi Ironsi and many southern soldiers who then were the literate ones in the army therefore they were the ones that occupied the high ranking positions. Eastern region alone lost over 200 of her sons who were in high positions in the Army. They also lost hundreds of low ranking officers. Immediately the coup was declared successful, the northern urchins and miscreants went on rampage. They killed both young and old so long you are from the Eastern region. No one was asked if he IR she was Igbo or Yamiri as they call the Igbo's. To then at that point all the Easterners were endangered specie.
Remember the one who spearheaded the first coup that triggered this cataclysmic counter coup, was not from the five eastern States that make up the south east today. He is from one of the states that make up the SS today. For a fact many from this state of the brain behind the coup that ended the first republic resulting to the counter coup has denied their Igbo ness. For instance not to long there was a hash tag that trended on social media platform saying" #AniomaNotIgbo" so with this pointer we assume that it is a lie to say that the coup was spearheaded by an Igbo. So the part of the assertion in caps letter in this write up that says "BY THE IGBO" has been cleared, since the Deltans especially those that speak Igbo dialects but choose to disclaim Igbo happens to be precisely where the chief coup plotter came from. Since they aren't Igbo's as they themselves claim, it can't be said to be Igbo coup. Therefore it is not a war by the Igbo. I ask again who is the aggressor amongst the kith? The SS fetched the ANT INFESTED FIREWOOD been the first coup. That is to say THE WAR WAS OF THE SS.
Then the north gave their cataclysmic counter coup that saw to a great massacre of the people of the old eastern region. Instead of killing the Anioma's or people from at feast Delta state which is SS today, they actually killed more of the Igbo SE today and went further to term it Igbo coup while it is not. So the assertion that the war is BY THE IGBO is also ruled out. The SS didn't only fetch the ant infested firewood but also the SS " INVITED THE LIZARD TO A FEAST". The lizard here is the war. Therefore it is the war by the SS. Instead the Igbo's in their brotherliness didn't bother denying the the SS man as an Igbo man, to the Igbo's that was not what was most important, what was most important was seeing to it that all the aeastern region people were protected from the blood thirsty north regardless who and where the person that spearheaded the coup that ended the first republic came from. That was why the Igbo's stood in the forefront of the war against the north fighting the war that was brought upon all easterners by the actions of the SS son, Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu. Yet the Igbo's are the ones been accused by the people that fetched the ant infested fire feastmade the lizards to gather for feast. If I may ask isn't that the highest act of cowardice that the same people denying the Igbo and sabotaging their efforts at secession were the ones that brought the war to the Igbo's and yet they refused to fight same war which they brought. The Igbo's embraced same and made it their war regardless, they lost both human, infrastructural and economic resources to the war which they gave their best . what pained the most was that the people who brought the war which the Igbo fought and lost everything turned around to give them the most devastating blow in the name of abandoned properties. So I ask who is the true aggressor here amongst the kith, SS or SE?
It is time every SS individual asks self the pertinent question of was the Igbo's really against us?
Putting into considering the above salient points which have been raised above, any sensible person would see things from it true perspectives. If that becomes the case, then the question would then be have we the SS people treated the Igbo's rightly and fairly?
Are we not the ones who are guilty of what we are accusing the Igbo's of?
If the Igbo's fought our war and bore our loses as a result of the war, then it would be wrong to say that the war was FOR THE LIBERATION OF THE IGBO. I hope that has been clarified?

The truthful and right way to put the wrong assertion would be to say that it was A WAR OF THE SS, fought by the SE (Igbo) FOR THE LIBERATION OF THE OLD EASTERN REGION.

I wish to appeal to sensible minds from The SS to please give the Igbo's some deprive.
We in the SE are at our wits end with this unnecessary and unfounded hatred of the SS towards everything that pertains the SE.
Soon the SS will seek to partner with the SE and the hand of friendship that the SE has been extending all this while, would be no more as it has been withdrawn because nothing lasts for ever.

Remember the Good morning by 4 O'Clock from the Biafra warlord Ojukwu to the SS people
at the funeral of Ken Sarowiwa?

He explained that his reason behind the greeting of good morning by 4 O'Clock was a reminder to the SS people who betrayed the Biafra dream and struggle during the war, that what they are seeing today crying and shouting marginalization, was what he Odumegwu Ojukwu saw over 3 decades ago and sought secession which the SS sabotaged, is what the SS are unfortunately experiencing.

It is not late to come to realization that what the SE and SS wants can easily be achieved through a unified struggle.

SS come to the table with your terms to join the struggle. Let us have an agreement to confront our common enemy from the same front.

The SE wins.
The SS wins.
Everybody wins!

The Igbo do not mind a separate country by the SS with whatever name they choose to call it.
What is most important to the Igbo is to be free of the feudalistic, hegemonic yet parasitic north, with their vampiric thirst for blood and synonymous nature to backwardness.

LETS UNITE IN COMMON BUT ONE FRONT, FOR OUR DIFFERENT PURSUITS OF FREEDOM.

As for my family, we are Biafrans.

I breathe Biafra!
I live Biafra!
I am proudly Biafran!

All hail Biafra!

The land of the rising sun,

The land filled with milk and honey.

Come one come all !!!

Lengthy, but worth reading.

Pls don't derail the post. Stay off if you don't have sensible thing to say. Thanks

OP, GOD Bless you!!

Waoo!. I implore everyone to calm down and read this . But O. P don't be deceived by what some miscreants post on nairaland claiming to be from Nig Delta. I said this because, I have many real ND people as friends offline. In fact, the name Nigeria is toxic to their ears, they believe in freedom and freedom we shall all get one day.

The Sun Shall Rise Again!!

Of course am aware of that.
Am friends to many of them.
In fact most of their ideology do inspire my write up.

Real and intelligent southerners love and crave for Biafrans
We are working hard to use social media and correct some misconceptions.

Remain blessed for this.

Never again will igbos shed blood for the south south. Enough of these never do goods always stabbing igbos in the back.

Igbos fought a war the SS started and how did the SS repay igbos? By seizing our properties.

The SS should stay on their own and let us know how many we are and work towards sustaining our people

Wish the modafuckas did it this very day, I would have personally drawn the map to down south, let them pay for their sins. I ain't stupid again. The soul that sin will definitely pay for it.
