so river state in no longer part of south south (whatever that rubbish means). South south south south south and more south, you guys are not ashamed of yourselves, so if a foreign journalist interviews you tou will say south south. Tufia for nigeriaya

Noneroone:
The son of late Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu’s second-in-command during the 1967 civil war in Nigeria, Philip Effiong Jr., has faulted the approach adopted by Nnamdi Kanu and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the renewed agitation for an Independent Biafra state.

According to him, the Biafra agitators unwittingly bought into the propaganda sold by those opposed to Biafra by making their agitations seem like an Igbo affair.

He said the Biafra agitators from the South east were not carrying along the minorities, who also participated and made sacrifices during the civil war.

Effiong Jr. said this during an interview with Hassan Arouni of BBC’s Focus on Africa.

He said: “I think there is something fundamentally wrong with their (IPOB) approach which is the fact that they have made it an Igbo problem.

“They bought into the propaganda that the enemy tried to sell and that propaganda is ‘the Igbo people are out to take over Nigeria and dominate the minorities that around them. They are evil people and they try to disunite us.’ For people (IPOB) to make it as an Igbo problem buys into that propaganda.

“Of course, minorities were extremely involved, died, suffered, and played major roles.”

On his memories of the Biafra civil war, Effiong Jr. said: “I remember the plane bombing; that is one thing that stands out. I remember the planes bombing and one having to run away from them.



“Enugu was shelled. I remember I was playing with my brothers with thought it was thunder at first. Then we realized shells were landing and the movements were just constant. I think we must have lived in at least five different cities during the war.

“Most of the outside world did not have an inkling of what was happening inside Biafra. Some did. And you have got to give credit to places like Ireland; the church made that possible. You know the Catholic Church has had a long philanthropic tradition and that helped spread the word.”

On whether, Nigeria learnt any lesson from the civil war, he said: “Nigeria and Nigerians have not learnt their lessons from the Biafra war.

“We are perhaps more divided that we ever where. First of all the war wasn’t about unity but it even divided us more. Even today, people can’t really talk about having friends from other ethnic groups.

“When you look at elections for instance or the fact that went and lived in a different state; there would be restrictions in the kind of positions I could hold. You find out that the concept of unity has not actually been realized.”

With all due respect to Philip Effiong Jr, it is your personal opinion. IPOB is very inclusive and more than I had perceived. In any movement, somebody had to take the lead.

Igboesika:
Who's this Yoruba Muslim again claiming what he's not ?.
Your moniker is even even ridiculous just like one iddiott on this forum from wasted land answering ojukwu . You are forcing everybody to believe who you are not by choosing that moniker to type rubbish on every Biafran thread even more than people from SS, while inside you ,you know where you belong. I swear you guys are very missserable and stvpid.
Lolz, he's spoke local language for me. Now listen, my cousin was born in Kaduna, he speaks, understands and writes Hausa perfectly. He even performed wonders in Hausa language during his waec..is my cousin an Hausa man ? capital NO !!
I am sure u didn't read the content of this topic before you quoted, because if you did, you wouldn't have even had the gut to quote me because you should be ashamed of yourself based on what Philip Effiong's son said. I am sure you usually close your eyes whenever you see people from SS supporting Ipob by participating in their protest and other means .
Go and tell them to stop it if you are pained . Stop being an online miscreant because you a very insignificant

hahahahahaha...

Agumbankembu your fellow Ipob Miscreant stays in Uyo, at Asong Ama... I stay in Nwaniba... shebi u Guys say dat I am scam..
I have told him places in we could meet.. so as to clear the air...

Turn up at The Playground, or a sitout at 2lane or 4lane... let's sort out some things... and he is scared.

Lol, right now I don't have time for urchins, low lifers and concrete mixers, which is what Nwaniba side is known for. I am in Abuja now, I have to handle business first before anything else. Uwaa?
NtoNwaniba, whenever I am in Uyo, we'll meet up.

I know you are not conversant with the name Osong-Ama estate, because that's​ not an estate for urchins and concrete mixers.

I think he means well. It may not be true that IPOB has made Biafra an Igbo problem but that is the general impression which those opposed to IPOB and Biafra are harping on to divide us. He wants the impression corrected. I think he means well.

NtoAkwaIbom:
hahahahahaha.
funny enough Igbos leaving in the Niger Delta know that the South South Abhors the Igboman more than a Northerner.
Igbos a very very very pushy.
and they threat others as if the others Are nor as human as them.

God please alow these ipobs to keep raging on, So that they get their Biafra... God please, Let Igbos go back to their 5 eastern states... and turn to Dubai there... mbok Godddd please !!!!!

I'm so sure that you are either not from Akwaibom or a paid divisive agent because no true South Southerner will in his right senses claim that the Southsouth hates Igbos more than northerners. You are on your own. Phillip Effiong Jn does not agree with you. He calls you and your likes our common enemy. Thanks.

Babacele:
if you may educate me sir , what do mean by restructuring into truly federalist state ? thank you sir.

Nigeria is supposed to be a Federal Republic but we are currently so only in name and not in practice

We run a unitary state. Too much power concentrated in the centre

I don't want a man with 4 wives with some married while they were underage being responsible for the education policy of my daughters

Neither do I want to be responsible for the policing policy of a community who believes alcohol and night clubbing is probably a crime

So this is why in order to manage our diversity better the Federal Government should only be responsible for our common defence, macro economics and foreign policy. While education, welfare, micro-economics etc should be devolved to regional governments

Every region should advance at their own pace and embrace civilisation as they so choose. Those who want to live like people in Kabul and Kandahar can be allowed to pursue full blown sharia as well in their region

He meant well quite alright but he did not help the matter by fanning the silly insinuation that IPOB had made Biafra Igbo problem. As a true son of Biafra, P. Effiong Jr. should do anything within his power to dispel such idiotic insinuation.
