It is still part of freedom of choice. Or should they go to IPOB secretariat to say they do not want to be part of Biafra? Or maybe they should visit Nnamdi Kanu in his bedroom, to tell him the choices they have made?
how many times have you seen a Yoruba or Hausa Fulani throwing his or her people under the car? take the Arewa youth declaration for example. do you see how all of them are not outrightly against the youths? some of them are even in support of the youths but if it's the iPob, you all will start forming political correctness, openly and outrightly castigating the ipob to please your fake one Nigerianist people. Let me tell you one secret, you can be against the ipob all you want but as long as you are Igbo, they will treat you just as they would treat an iPob regardless of whether you are against the struggle or not. when push comes to shove, they will favour and side their own people and cast you out.
Best you should do is to keep your opinions to yourself.

I'm very glad that you say Urhobos are not needed. If you want the Itsekiriris, Ijaws, Ibibios, etc, and THEY ARE INTERESTED TOO, then you guys can do whatever you like.

Just tell your God, Nnamdi Kanu, to stop using blanket statements to lump Urhobos into Biafra. Tell your map makers to stop adding Urhoboland into Biafran maps. Tell your fellow foot soldiers and online trolls to accept the reality of Urhobo uninterestedness and stop adding the Urhobo part of Delta State into their maps. Infact, when the word "Delta" is being used, it used be qualified by ethnicity so as to avoid ambiguity. i.e. Delta Igbo, Delta Ijaw, etc.

As for Urhobos, we will NEVER stop fighting against the plot to label us Biafrans against our wishes by few ignorant Kanu worshipping misguided persons. We will fight against it by all means possible. If that makes us the greatest enemy of IPOB or Igbo, then so be it.


The point has been made and we will always remind you all about it every now and then so that it will sink in. Like us or hate us; despise us or love us; just know that we don't care and we don't go about creating enemies for ourselves. We only protect what is ours and OURS ALONE! We have faithful allies across the nation and that is enough for us.

Left for me, I will like Biafra of Igbos alone.

But if Calabars re interested, they will be welcomed.
But urhobos or whatever the name is, I will rather stay in this pit hole called Nigeria than than be lumped with an urhobo man.

So ur fear is unwarranted cos nobody wants you.

Ok, but kindly note that one of the things that worked against the old Biafra from within, was the same lack of tolerance for dissenting opinions. sad It didn't matter if those views were right, or wrong. Many people were tagged as 'saboteurs' for no reason & jailed, or even executed. The same Northerners & Yorubas you see, often disagree among themselves, but they hold internal consultations far & wide among their people & try to persuade everyone, to embark on a particular course of action, jointly. There is mutual respect, even when they disagree with each other. All views are taken on board, debated and analysed, before being accepted. undecided

See Fayose & FFK for instance. Their views do not represent the views of the larger majority within their own major ethnic group, but they are being ignored by the larger key players in their tribe like Tinubu & co., because they recognise everyone is free to hold his own opinion. The day the chips are down they will be forced to bear the consequences, on their own. sad

Is IPOB like that? No, they threaten others and insult them, simply because they hold a divergent view. shocked They fly their propaganda kite, and believe everyone should fall in line behind it. Anyone who disagrees with them, is seen as an enemy. Is that the way to win over adherents to a cause? shocked Anyway, I respect your views, even if I don't agree with them. Peace. wink

believe me you are not the only one praying that they leave us in peace, what I wont want is for them to get their Biafra and still be occupying Nigeria or SW.

They should just go!! Our ways and mindset and theirs are not compatible
The issue now is that some clowns are claiming they want Biafra but they didn't say they want to migrate from Nigeria. This is a result of developing only the business side of the brain while the rest suffers. For their information, there is no more national cake o,no more funding from the Nigerian government,no more Nigerian minister, no more Nigerian senator in totality all ties with the Nigerian government will be broken.every property owned beyond Biafra by biafrans will now owned by the government of Nigeria. No more UNN it will be UBN. I pity them, mark my words,they will beg to be part of Nigeria.

Very bitter you.
With your response I can tell you are a very young boy (not man). I think Joe Igbokwe is an Urhobo same as R. Okorocha and W. Obiano. The people you have mentioned have their personal grouse for whatever reason with the Ibos, do not generalize it.
If you are angry at those people you should be angry at KANU too for disparaging other with his remarks and actions.
Learn to talk constructively instead of allowing hate to take over you. Happy Sunday boy.

Lol! And you don't see how Igbo commoners treat Okorocha, Igbokwe and their supporters? Countless articles had been been written by Igbo writers against those men.

I don't generalize, but I won't let their insult go unreplied as well. It's the job of good Urhobos to discredit and dissociate yourselves from the likes of Ena and frater Igbophobic behaviors , but instead you all keep quiet or just a outrightly support them.

Kanu never disparaged any. All he did was return hate for hate, but as we see, Nigerians who are ever good at dishing out hate messages against Ndiigbo are just not good at taking retaliatory hate messages from Ndiigbo.

I have no iota of hate in me. If you see hate, then it is because you exude hate towards the Igbo, I'm merely but a mirror.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biafra : read and know more. "Another erroneous statement that is very much bandied on NL is that 3million Igbos died in the last civil war. "This is not true. Pls explain

Thanks for your civility.

I have read the wikipedia post and it is even a shallow summary of Biafra compared to what many Nigerians who witnessed the war has written since the 70's.

This said, the wikipedia post didn't say anything about casualty figures to support or oppose my point. However, if you click on the "Nigerian Civil War" on that same wikipedia page, you will see the casualty figures (on both sides) estimated at 500,000!

I have read so many scholarly works on the civil war from both the Nigerian and the then Biafran sides and nobody has ever claimed a death toll of 3million. In actual fact, the death toll of 3million was only a propaganda claim by radio Biafra in 1969 to lure western support to push Nigeria to end the blockade.

The wiki in my post had to do with the tribes carved as Biafra and you can see south south is included.about the number of casualties, I wanted to hear you say more and wasn't arguing. To me be it one or two the fact that people died means a big loss,we are talking about humans life not ants.

u are nt fair to d urhobo's. To be frank with u, the Urhobo's are one of the honest, peace-making and law abidding ppl in nigeria. They can co-habit with anybody.

You know, ever since Frathermatty started his anti-Igbo thing, i took a back seat to observe for myself. My best friend as a kid was an Urhobo boy - Andy Ojakpa or so, we were so close that when either of us is not at home, our parents knew where to look first. The guy is now based in the US, but his half brothers and sister are still around, and they are very tight friends with my younger ones.

Nairaland and Frathermatty only made me realize one thing probably - The Urhobo who grew up in Lagos is different from the Urhobo which grew up in Urhoboland.

The only reason i am still on the fence with Urhobo people is that i have never lived with them in Urhoboland and so cant make an informed opinion other than what i have gleaned on Nairaland. In the end, they are not a group that is vital to Biafra's viability.

I don't know any Asaba person and I don't know what they want. Also, I haven't speculated on these points. All I did was point to historical fact that Asaba was part of Western Region.

Dont talk like someone from the 15th century, talk like someone from the 21st century. A country, such as Nigeria, should exist be by the consent of the indigenous people who owned the land before the colonialists came. The constitution should be a document written by the people, not a few military touts. Nigeria is not a country created by consent and the constitution is a fraud.

Referendum is one of the most democratic instruments in the world because it is one of the rare times that the people get to choose their destiny as opposed to electing or entrusting politicians to do it for them.

So if a person believes in fairness and equity, why would they be opposed to referendum? Is it Lugard that should decide who is a Nigerian or should it be the indigenous people of the land? The people who owned the land long before there was Nigeria.

The constitution is meant to give the people a sense of freedom, not enslave them.

Stop talking nonsense
Be there quoting history you don't even understand. Whatsoever that is not written or documented in the Nigerian constitution is considered null and void.

Referendum is a sham as far as Nigerian constitution is concerned. No wonder the house of Reps and house of senates including ur honourable representatives from your constituencies are not talking about it. Even the legal practitioners and civil societies has nothing to talk about referendum in Nigeria....you are here on Nairaland saying what you don't know just to gain cheap social media popularity.

So long the Biafrans are willing to pull out from Nigeria and if Nigerian constitution does not give room for secession through referendum, Biafra will never see the light of the day. United Nations can never accredit Biafra Republic without the consent of Nigeria and Nigerians at large. If you like, continue to rant from now till eternity, Biafra will die a natural death just the way Referendum in Nigeria died immediately after civil war in 1970.

In my opinion, i have always loved Biafrans to be on their own for national peace, but Nigeria has constitutionally laid embargo on it....so, channel your muscles towards SE development and stop fighting the battle you can never win.

Kids like u should be sent back to school to study Nigeria history very well and stop misleading others on Nairaland.

You, Mcowubaba and Pazienza keep quoting me as an anti-Igbo. Let me tell you something about humans:

Nobody is born a tribalist. It is something that is learnt, basically from experience or observation. In my state, I had always known Igbos right from nursery school. I grew with Igbos, schooled with them up till university level and still work with them today. I don't have issues with Igbos.

Ever since this Biafran agitation started, Igbos have been going around creating enemies of people due to their uncouth, careless and arrogant statements. One of the most arrogant statement by Biafrans is that the ENTIRE SOUTH-SOUTH is part of Biafra. As an Urhobo, I find such statements offensive to my people and myself. I am not Igbo! I do not speak Igbo! and my people share nothing in common with Igbos! Why then do the Igbos, especially those on Nairaland, go around peddling falsities that the entire South-South (of which Urhoboland is a part of) is part of the Igbo Biafra?

When I started confronting Igbos with civility on this issue, they attacked me, insulted me and my ethnicity, threatened me, stalked me, and made enemies of myself and my people. That is not how to live! Dissenting opinions will always reign even amongst yourselves. Don't expect an entire ethnicity to support your cause just because of proximity with them. You guys should learn diplomacy like my brother, Jerrypolo, said. I know an Urhobo here, Opharhe, who is pro-Biafra well enough. I know of others too. Just because they sympathise with Biafra doesn't mean they have FORCED Urhoboland into Biafra and neither do they intend to. However, how do you expect them to feel when they and their ethnicities are insulted just because we expressed our FREEDOM to REJECT a CAUSE that has NOTHING to do with us? Do you now see how you guys make anti-Biafrans and even anti-Igbos out of pro-Biafrans and indifferent people?


You may think of me as the enemy but I have not done even a quarter of what IGBOS have done on this forum alone. Igbos have issues with every ethnicity but themselves. They'll turn around and harass the minorities that reject their cause, calling them Igbophobic, instead of arguing like sane people. Maybe you guys need to check yourselves very well. All I have done on Nairaland is to tell Igbos and Igbos that Urhobos are not interested in Biafra and I do so with the backings of valid statements by Urhobo leaders. How is that a crime against Igbos? How have I insulted Igbos by defending Urhobo from those who would wage war on us for telling them NO?

Never for once have I insulted Igbos without due provocation. Why don't you guys speak to your online trolls like hammer6, GodisBiafran, Freemancipation, etc, to tone down their hate. Why don't you guys speak against Nnamdi Kanu to tone down his hate and to stop including non-Igboid Southerners to his plans? Why don't you guys speak out on the hate being spread by Igbos online every blessed day?

You guys love to blame Yorubas, Hausas, Urhobos, Itsekiris, etc, for your problems without realising that tthe greatest threat to Ndiigbo are the Nddigbos themselves! Hate me or love me; threaten me or chastise me; call me names or insult my ethnicity; the point has been made that Urhobos are not interested in Biafra. And I WILL CONTINUE MAKING THIS POINT UNTIL IT SINKS IN TO ALL BIAFRANS! I don't go about creating enemies. Never for once have I had issues with Yorubas, Hausa, etc, on Nairaland. Why always Igbos? Search yourselves and deal with your perennial problems before you call others names.

This country called Nigeria that you are talking about, can you provide any document where Igbos agreed with Lugard to be part of Nigeria?

The reason I ask is because if the Igbo nation never agreed to be included in Nigeria, then Nigeria can be taken to court by the Igbo nation for kidnapping.

Guy, calm down!! cheesy I see your point, but please try and take it easy. Sometimes, there is no need to respond to everyone who aggravates you. The double standards here are so glaring, but everyone needs to pick their battles carefully.Don't let them get under your skin. You are too smart for that. Peace. wink

Haven't you noticed that I hardly reply them these days? I only reply those whose comments need to be addressed.

I am not here to argue to with both of you - Laudate and Frathemathy, i am only here to learn as much as i can about the mental make up of your people. I dont even know the road leading to urhoboland sef.
For your information, I am not even Urhobo even though I have a lot of Urhobo friends. wink But no one likes needless provocation, and people cannot be expected to turn the other cheek, each time they are insulted. You would be much better off learning or studying the mental make up of the IPOB crew on NL, and offering them advice on how to get along with others... thanks. sad

This country called Nigeria that you are talking about, can you provide any document where Igbos agreed with Lugard to be part of Nigeria?

The reason I ask is because if the Igbo nation never agreed to be included in Nigeria, then Nigeria can be taken to court by the Igbo nation for kidnapping.
Infact, i am weeping for you right because i cannot be wasting my time with kid that cannot recite his/her national anthem.

It's a clear evidence that i was really talking to a dummy that can read but would never understand. What do you know about Lord Luggard?

Since you were yet to be born around 1914, i think you should go back to your grandparents to know how Nnamdi Azikiwe and other igbo elites lobbied to be part of Southern Protectorate before Luggard was able to amalgamate the North and South together.

False social media crusades will only accumulate more hatreds for the Igbo people from other minor and major ethnic groups. Majority of the jobless Igbo youths will only cause more harms to the Igbo nation by tarnishing their ethnicity due to arrogance and fallacy of ignorantio ellency.
