Nigeria was created in 1914. Were the Igbos occupants of the British territory called Nigeria in 1914? Yes they were. End of story. 1 Like |

@oladeebo Where in my post was Biafra mentioned? Where did you find that,sir? If the ibos have changed the name of their tribe to biafra then I am afraid I ain't aware of that. The tribe has always been known as ibo from earliest record and I don't think much has changed. The Biafra issue is a new dimension. What the Portuguese named or christened biafra was a region stretching from the Kameruns(or perhaps parts of eastern Nigerian coast in my opinion) to what is today Gabon. With time the water body south of that region(stretching from the eastern region of what is today Nigeria to Gabon) somehow came to be known as the bight of biafra(today bight of Bonny since the end of the civil war). When the time came for Ojukwu to name his country the name of the water body south of the Eastern region came in handy and he called it Biafra. So,as Nigeria got its name from a water body(a river) so did Biafra get its name from another water body(a bay/bight) this time... |

@oladeebo When he called the country Biafra,he was not trying to admit the bogus claims like the ones we have here that the ibos were or are not from somewhere in Cameroun or wherever he merely named it after a geographical feature-in this case,the Bight of Biafra. A name had to come from somewhere. Infact,I read somewhere where it was stated that the name "Biafra" just tickled his fancy and he picked it. |

@sukkot Even the yorubas will tell you that their ancestors moved into what is now Nigeria from Egypt(or Arabia). The Kibakus(of chibok fame) will tell you they migrated from outside the borders of this country to where they are today. The ancestors of the Kanuris lived East of the lake Chad(present-day Chad) before moving to where they are today. And there are many tales like that as far as the tribes in this country are concerned. So,even if the ibos moved to where they are now from Cameroun,burkina faso or wherever how is that a problem. How the constitution defines who a citizen is is what we,as educate as we are,should be looking at. Not some derelict piece of cartography that goes way back to the 1800s. For that reason I will refer you to section 25. Case closed. Besides trolling ain't a mature thing to do since it merely exposes you. Nothing personal. Got nothing to lose or gain from this baseless topic. Salaam. I'm out. |

simplycarro:I believe no one is too old to learn. Nigerian constitution. Part II section 8 sub-section 1a, b, c (a) a request, supported by at least two-thirds majority of members (representing the area demanding the creation of the new State) in each of the following, namely - (i) the Senate and the House of Representatives, (ii) the House of Assembly in respect of the area, and (iii) the local government councils in respect of the area, is received by the National Assembly; (b) a proposal for the creation of the State is thereafter approved in a referendum by at least two-thirds majority of the people of the area where the demand for creation of the State originated; (c) the result of the referendum is then approved by a simple majority of all the States of the Federation supported by a simple majority of members of the Houses of Assembly; I don't know how to read constitutions, check for ur self http://nigeriaworld.com/focus/constitution/chapter1.html |
