ASABA – FORMER National Chairman of the
Traditional Rulers of Oil Minerals Producing
Communities of Nigeria, TROMPCON and
paramount ruler of Seimbiri Kingdom, Delta
State, His Majesty Pere Charles Ayemi-Botu,
Tuesday, said South-South geo-political zone
was not part of the defunct Biafra.

Ayemi-Botu, aka Lion of Niger, who was reacting
to a statement by a Movement for the
Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra,
MASSOB, Solomon Chukwu, that South-South
region was part of Biafra territory, told Vanguard
that the claim was unfounded.

His words: “Ordinarily, one would not have
reacted to Solomon Chukwu’s incredible
statement that the South- South geopolitical
Zone is part of defunct Biafra that ceased to
exist after the 30 months, July 6, 1967 Nigeria –
Biafra civil war that ended on January 12.
1970.”

“ It is pertinent to ask how old was Solomon
when the war broke out and how did he come to
the conclusion that he knew the history of the
Biafran ( Igbo )struggle for self -determination
much more than those who actively took part
and were in the theatre of war.
“Perhaps, Solomon Chukwu did not know before
the 1967 civil war, there were only four Regions
in Nigeria, Northern, Eastern, Western and
Midwest. The four regions have their
headquarters in Kaduna, Enugu, Ibadan and
Benin in the same order and four military
governors.

“And when Lt-Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu
proclaimed the then Eastern region as the
Republic of Biafra with Enugu as the capital, all
the rest ethnic nationalities, including those in
Cross River, Rivers/Bayelsa and the present five
Igbo states were in Biafran enclave and were
consequently liberated, thus leading to the end of
succession in 1970,” he asserted.
The monarch added: “From the foregoing
analysis, there is no justification whatsoever for
Solomon Chukwu to give wrong assertion or
imposing or annexing south- south to south-east,
my candid and fatherly advice is for us to
embrace dialogue and allow peace to reign, there
is no sustainable part to peace through war –
war but through jaw – jaw.”

He asserted: “The amalgamation of the north
and south by Sir Lord Frederick Lugard in 1914
expired in 2014 and all true patriots of Nigeria
are now calling for restructuring and true fiscal
federalism in order to foster peace, harmony,
equity, competitiveness and development. It is
then and only then we can achieve our rightful
place or position as the giant of Africa and the
most populous black nation in the world.”
“Nigeria is abundantly blessed with human and
natural resources, but nepotism, avarice,
corruption, ethno-religious sentiments and
winner take all syndrome are endemic
cankerworms in the body polity of our beloved
country, Nigeria. Together, we all should imbibe
equity, justice, fairness, transparency, love and
upper most, the fear of God in our dealings with
humanity,” he said.

Isn't it funny that this Ijaw man thinks he can also speak for Igbos in Delta and Rivers state while hiding under the nebulous term SS.



I also hope that Igbo unity beggars take record of this.

This is a traditional ruler, not a politician speaking.

Hahahahahahahahaha

The dry headed forced attachees are coming for this traditional chief.

They say the senator is a politician trying to hide his loot in the zoo, let's see what they will call the traditional chief.

It's very simple.

Biafra is a landlocked region East of the Niger populated by ibo speaking people who love oha soup.

I wonder wtf he is doing in Asaba to declare this.

I hope to God that ediot isn't trying to claim Asaba as part of his ijaw clan.

Asaba was never part of theor land would NEVER be part of their land. Ijaws we aren't urhobo, yoruba or even iteskiri. We will fight una to the T to defend our land from any land grabbing attempt you lots have the tendency to do.


You can declare Ijaws as part of Nigeria. Asaba on the other hand is Biafra and you can pack your shit and get the Bleep out when she arrives

i keep telling you mr "China is an under developed country" there's a big difference between geopolitical zones/states and ethnic groups
south south contains a majority of igbos so stop deceiving yourself little mind

unless you're telling me that SS is synonymous to Ijaw

Biafra should die alone...in short!

This is a terrible time to be an ibo. Na everybody just dey take ibo collect point.

my brother trust me majority of igbos are with you on this
we only care about our igbo brothers in the so called SS
and being their ancestral land they're part of SS

only illiterates like the last guy i quoted thinks that igbos are only in man made 5 SE states

*Yawn* This is the caliber of news littering Nairaland nowadays.

Honstely speaking i don't know what is wrong with IPOB And Massob .this people have said it so many times that they are not part of Biafra still yet the keep on including them in biafra map even including some Northern state . I'm very ashamed any time this small group keep on insulting igbos because of this rubbish IPOB and Massob are doing. Majority of Igbos are in support of Biafra that will only include only Igbos in South East, South South and Middle belt. Not this Mini Nigeria IPOB and Massob are planning. It's high time the should call IPOB and Massob to order this disgraceful act must stop Enough is Enough

I love oha soup and I'm not Igbo

Funny enough, I got this news from Proudly Anioma proudly Igbo facebook page.

It was posted there by an Ika man from Agbor who is a member of that group.

I don't count Ika in when I speak of Biafra, because we have many Edophillic igbophobic entities there, I know this much because I'm also a member of Onu Ika facebook group.
But we do still have some strongly Igbophillic voices there holding forte, though I fear they may be out numbered by the Edophilic ones that seem to be quite vociferous and vehement in their Igbophobic ways.

We can only count on Oshimili and Aniocha as it stands in Igbo speaking Delta North.

I don't doubt it.

Equally there are quite a number of ibos that love Ewedu.

*in flat heads voice*

Who is this monarch speaking for? I'm sure he is not speaking for ijaw.
Ijaws are biafrans. Portharcourt is igweocha. Bayelsa is bayeosha. igbo land cut across all akwa ibom.


He is just another ewedu guzzling afonja




Those unity begging, attache by force people ehn?

that's why am taking myself to educate some ignorant dudes here especially LionDeLeo who said that China is an under developed country and that India is more developed than China
he even went ahead to compare China with Nigeria

Lol.... Nawa oo. I expect Elders to talk like one.

What is SS?

Ipob and massob should hold their leaders accountable before claiming marginalization from Nigeria..... You claim the Yorubas are coward and betrayal, the Fulani's are blood sucking demon and the igbos are Jew that want to develop their land.

Questions to my brother

1 how are you marginalize
2 who are the people marginalizing you
3 why is the debate so hot now that buhari is in charge.
4 what is role of the Igbo leaders in the development of this region.


NB every tribe are claiming marginalization cause Nigeria is not properly structure but if Nigeria functions in a proper structure all this agitation will die a natural death...... Just like I told someone today that Nigeria as been cursed with bad leaders and only a proper change can put us at.the right track....... Igbo's should have it in mind that the same set of people will still govern them when this dreams is actualise...... I still prefer one NIGERIA with leaders with heart of Gold......

Lol, Biafra start and ends in the south east. U will have to recall every igbos leaving in the south south and middle belt back to the east, because u are taking no territory outside the 5 Igbo state that will make up ur Biafra. Encroach further and expect war

My dear can't you think straight for once? Who is grabbing land?

So will you say that KWARA state doesn't have Yoruba ethnic group because the state is not in SOUTH WEST?

So KWARA state is no more a Yoruba land because it is not in South West?

if kwara people say they are not yorubas, which will never happen in 1billion years, no one is gonna force them.


By the way, stop comparing apple and oranges.

Are ijaws igbo now?

At least, ijaw oil is for north, and ijaw is conquered by north, Biafra does not need ijaw, let ijaw free themselves from oil pollution first....another odi is around the corner I assured ijaw.... Ijaw should always know their land belong to the north

Meanwhile, the man is even confused ....saying Nigerian has expired and still wanted to live in expired Nigeria... What an ogogoro drunken northern conquered fisherman!

To say this in Asaba a core Igbo city is a great insult to the Igbo people.

So is SS all about ijaw people?

I'm not after ijaw or Igbo, I'm talking about SS. IS like a Fulani man in Kwara saying that kwara state is not Yoruba.

So get my comaprison right

Exactly my point.... Does he even know the meaning of ASABA? LOL

if fulani man says kwara is not yorubaland, I will just laugh at him, but when kwara people say they are not yoruba, then I will take them seriously.

Igbos claim ika are igbos, majority dissociated themselves.
A case study is sunday oliseh.


They say ikwerres are igbos, ikwerres say no.

Aniomas are still indifferent.

They say portharcourt is igbo land, the governor of rivers state/port harcourt built a stadium and named it after yakubu gowon (the same man who killed 3million igbos)
What message do you think he's passing across as an ikwerre man?

Shey na by force to associate with people who don't want to associate with you?
