Hi uchihaitaci greetings to u. The few urhobos u met were fetish but urhobos are generally not fetish. U said urhobos are terrible. Not true it's just that they are very smart like the igbos( two smart ass in the same room will definitely lead to rivalry).

Remember Bro that urhobos luv Biafrans but historically they ve never been part of Biafra. The Bight of Biafra cuts across mostly Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross river states.

Lastly if Biafrans need the minorities to be part of them, they need to negotiate with their leaders instead of declaring their land a conquered territory like a dictating emperor.

Bitter: To be rejected like a leper by all the minority ethnic groups forcefully included in the Biafra project.

At least they're acknowledging that there are native Igbos in the South-South, unlike those "we the South-South" imposters. I'm completely fine with Urhobos not wanting to be in Biafra; I want Biafra to be an Igbo-only country.

Thanks for speaking like a sane being. Urhobos always regard Aniomas as Igboids, plain and simple. What they call themselves is up to them and we cannot dictate that.

I am glad you want an Igboid Biafra. That is what we have all been saying since. We can be partners (if both sides are willing) in fighting for our own interests. What pains us is that some persons are going about propagating things that can break the little trust minorities have for Igbos.

this isn't a matter of trust.. everybody just want the best for their tribe, your interest shouldn't supersede others interests.

you just need to state why the urhobo nation won't be part of any unholy alliance.. our interest is best protected in Niger Delta as a republic or Nigeria where each region should control their resources.

this is what the urhobo nation need, this is what we will get.

Nobody has monopoly over us.

Nnamdi Kanu gets support everywhere he goes in the East from Onitsha to Port Harcourt.

Nigeria is a failed state and no one can counter Kanu's argument.

Yes! Let them struggle to clear their name, whilst we push for referendum.

Or else, people like the OP and their Yoruba/HausaFulani over lords will focus campaign on the Igboid and Igbo groups.

I have a reason to believe that you guys have sinister motives in FORCING minorities into your fight. Your motives will be laid bare soon enough. If we could fight Nigeria during the struggle and succeed, IPOB would be a work over for us.

Dey have no other place to go. Nigeria is their only hope.

The minute u set them free, they will start from Ika and Ekpeye to Ikwere running campaign and encouraging dem to denounce being Igbo.

They did it before, did dey not? Dat one called Fratermathy can speak Igbo, he will just create Anioma moniker.

Stay out of Urhobo affairs. Seeing that we are a core part of the South-South, I also extend the aforementioned sentiment to the entire region. I'd stay out of Eastern affairs when you lots stay out of non-Igboid South South affairs.

Yes they are known for that.

IPOB is doing a wonderful job.

They are not even saying why it is good to remain in Nigeria.

Only that Biafra is bad. That is their only argument which is a losing argument.

I see no reason why we wouldn't be able to work together as neighbouring countries. If Nigeria disintergrates, what do you think will become of the Urhobo nation? Will it join the greater Niger Delta Republic, form alliances with specific groups in its region or just become an independent country on its own?

That's a good question. We have plans on forming our own nation should it get to that. However, we'd be much more safer in Niger Delta Republic (among ethnic groups not too bigger or smaller than us). But we can never tell. Anything can change at any time. In situations like this, interests are what matters. If we think our interests will be well protected in Nigeria, Oodua, Biafra, NDR, Urhoboria, etc, we'd accept it with ease.

What, in your opinion, are the pros and cons of each of the three options?

Personally, I think that the only people who were forced into anything are the ethnic groups who make up Nigeria. It was them that the West African fronteer force led by Lugard forced into an unholy union which Lugards wife called Nigeria. Ever since then, everybody has been fighting each other. An Hausa man who didnt know who Igbos were before the arrival of the British is now claiming he is 'one' with Igbos. He doesnt even care if the majority of Igbos share his point of view. A Bini man will get up and say he is 'South/South' with a Efik man. The same Bini man has no links with the Efik whatsoever. All these artificial unions such as Nigeria and South/South has to stop because only a few men sat than in a room to create them. What matters is what the people themselves choose because as it is, we are all in prison, even if we dont know it. That is why I like Kanu's push for a referendum. Nigeria has not seen a referendum of sovereignty since 1961 when the British Cameroons voted. Northern British Cameroon voted to join Nigeria, the South voted to join Republic of Cameroon. That is democracy.

What Kanu and IPOB are doing by calling for a referendum in the SE/SS area is no different from what a politician does when he goes to ask the people to vote for him. If you like the politician and his vision, you may choose to vote him in. If you dont like him, do the needful.

The important thing is that everyone is given the power of choice. None of us were given the choice to decide if we want to be Nigrians or not.

If we all remember, Scotland was given the choice to decide in 2014 if they want to be British. Why would anybody be dreaming about leaving a superpower nation like Britain? But the Scots agitated for it.

Nigeria is nowhere near Britain in terms of economic and technological advancement but some Nigerians are questioning the audacity of anyone to leave Nigeria?

Referendum is a democratic thing and people should learn to embrace it particularly the Southern minorities who have groaning under the weight of marginalisation.

I am glad you don't like Urhobos. Because trust me, the feeling is more than mutual. Very very mutual.

Let me present you with the cause for these statements, restatements, clarifications and what have we.

1. The purported map of Biafra:
[img]http://4.bp..com/-REk3IMlg9oQ/VlQcxNkh6II/AAAAAAAAMfQ/e0gelrqN7vU/s1600/biafra.jpg[/img]

Notice how Urhoboland and Itsekiriland are carefully crafted into the map

2. Biafran government structure

Kindly assess and observe the inclusion of Itsekiri, Urhobo and other minorities in the map.

3. ONE of the MANY Interviews of Nnamdi Kanu where he categorically said the South-South is Biafran Land (and even explicitly mentioned Isoko and Itsekiri):


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-pIKNoDEfM


It'll do you well to scan through the video, especially around 11:00 and listen to what he said.




Now that I have proven to you that you and and ilks want to force Urhobos and other minorities into Biafra, do you still think this rebuttal is not necesary?
guy this Biafra thing don dey do u bad thing o. Chai... see as u just dey embarrass urself with wetin no concern u
