People, I mean young people in the South should stop all these hate speeches. They created more problems and divide the people. Over a month and again, few days ago when I read the Victor Banjo's son short story on his father, I know he felt pained that while Ojukwu was given a befitting burial and honoured while his father was forgotten. I remembered Isaac Adaka Boro who declared Niger Delta Republic and later fought on the Federal side after release from detention was honoured with a park ( Boro Park) for memorial in Port-Harcourt. He still deserves a big memorial.

Immediately, I remembered Gen Philip Effiong. I was thinking about the reaction of the children of Philip Effiong to the way their father's name was forgotten without any honour. It pained me. To me the only essence of Victor Banjo story and this complaint about the neglect of Gen Philip Effiong's contribution to the national history is just for the Nigeria as a nation to recognise them that they are heroes and should be honoured. The families and may be, the spirit of these men are revolting that while Ojukwu enjoyed the rest of his life, celebrated and honoured in life and at death, their fathers are not being honoured and remembered.

It is not Ojukwu or the Ibos that made it that way. The only way to move forward is to accept what has happened and move forward.

should Biafra succeed it will be made up only the Igbo's. no other right thinking ethnic nationality will want to be a in ion dominated by igbos.
You are obviously from the dirty waste known for their treachery but if you're from the N.D then I'm sorry for you for allowing the enemy to continue using you. The same article showed that Ojukwu's vice and the SGF, the two most important portfolios were held by the same minorities, even the chief propagandist of Biafra (Okokon Ndem) is also from Akwa Ibom and several others like Mathew Mbu, the minister of foriegn affairs yet they keep making noise about an imaginary Igbo domination. Very soon the oil will finish and the lovely a.b.o.ki.s will show you their true colour.They will not even allow a Southerner to be the minister of FCT because it is in the north but NNPC, customs & others in the South are controlled by them! Continue behaving like slaves to people that are not in the least better than you. SMH.

It amazes me how our Niger Delta brothers failed to see the bigger picture but has continued to be pawns to their oppresors who has exploited and raped them to stupor! Igbos recieved grave injustice in the hands of our N.D brothers when they aided the FG to implement blockade against us during the war, many of them like Isaac Boro & Saro Wiwa fought against us, and even after the war, the FG cunningly instigated them to usurp our properties in and conviniently supported the Ikwerre to deny the Igboness yet the Igbo nation forgot all of these and decided to make peace with our brothers, knowing that it is the best way to fight a formidable enemy. Ojukwus vice & SGF (the two most important offices) were given to the minorities in Biafra yet they said we are domineering! Very soon oil will become worthless & we will know better!
Don't waste your breath, focus this your energy towards ur s.e biafra, lets see who will be looking for visa btw Niger delta Republic & Biafra

Only a foolish fly follows a corpse into the grave.

Gen. Effiong signed the instrument of surrender but when the Igbo were talking of payment of gratuity and pension, they only presented Gen. Ojukwu and refused to mention Gen. Effiong.

I'm sure Gen. Effiong will be bitten his fingers in regret now inside grave tongue

thats why we deltans shouldnt join with the south yeasterners no more.........

its historical fact that deltans fought fiercely against federal troops...we deltans prolonged the biafran war....

as the delta fell,biafra fell.....the core center of biafra in the east surrendered very quick...

we deltans shouldnt join anybody..we should go our own way...

You cannot neglect or ignore Phillip Effiong excerpt you don't know him. Biafra presence especially Igbos was great. Effiong till death believed in what he fought for. I wouldn't be surprised if amnesty was offered him and he rejected it. He refused to leave Biafra with Ojukwu. Few can be as brave. Jockey became repentant by joining NPN. Effiong remained intact to the end.

I am an Akwa ibomite and am strongly against Biafra rather I would prefer each region should be separated and allowed to manage its resources, this federal system has done more harm than good, I will also advice other ethnic groups in the niger delta not to join in the quest for Biafra because when Biafra is achieved other minor ethnic groups will also be marginalized, I would prefer that Biafra be given to the Igbo's only, my two cents
Good! I am an Ibo. But I stayed in Bayelsa for 1 yr. Do you know the fear is not even Biafra, its the possibility of other groups in the Niger Delta area to seek for separation. I was with some ijaw old men who told me plainly that if Niger Delta is to be on their own, they will separate into pellets due its multiple ethnic groups in it. This Biafra agitation is an eye opener to the Ibos. Not all those who you call brothers and sisters really think you are. Ibos work with others but fight for your own right- Whosoever comes close to you accept else push them far from your reach.

It seems this ur Biafra idea is born out of the oil in the Niger delta, cos you keep praying for it to finish & in ur petty mind there will nothing left for Niger deltans to do again? Think again ipobian, before oil the Niger deltans wer still successfull business men in their various kingdoms due to our access to sea.

At this age and time, if you are still using language, tribe and cultural similarities to determine tribe, no that development will never come.

Well what would rather use in determining tribe? States? Would that mean that everyone in Rivers state is Ijaw? Or maybe the Idomas of Enugu state are Igbo? Are Ikwerres Igbo when one Ikwerre man and former Governor such as Amechi says he is Igbo but another such as Odili says he is Ikwerre?

Biafra is an Igbo agenda and I repeat is an Igbo agenda, their adding Akwaibom, Uyo, PH, and Delta state is just out of the inherent oppressive and greedy nature of the Igbos and any SS member thinking Biafra is for him is living a pipe dream. Biafra is an Igbo agenda period.

Ans: SS and SE

Who led the coup?

Who failed to execute the SS,SE coup
ans: SS, SE, Sw even though okotie eboh who was from the old eastern region was killed then, maybe it wasn't enough.

Who was killed in a counter coup?
ans:SE

Who was and have been blamed for the coup?
ans; SE

Who was released from prison to gather his people so we can push the north back as they were heading to South with the British forces?
ans: SW, pa awolowo

What was the war for?
ans; Oil and colonial power.

Where was the army heading to?

Who betrayed the war?

If SS fought to defend theirself, why will they not acknowledge their own. It musn't be the duty of Igbo even though igbos acknowledge general effiong. Every one from the region suffered during and after the war and Igbo suffered more. so my dear this is not a relevant topic.

How would Igbos have restored Gen Effiong. Was it Igbos that have been in power since then. Did the family make any submission to Igbos or General Effiong apply for restoration to Inbox or seek assistance and was turned down. Did he seek help from South eastern governors and was turned down. What a lame thinking by Fulani Oligarchy so as to sow seeds of discord. Bi.afra will not operate a unitary govt like the zoo skewed to favor the Fulanis only. Even in the north how many hausas or other ethnic group have been or would be allowed vie president other than Fulani from Niger republic lording it on the rest.

This is a complete and unimaginable falsehood. Igbo business men, home and abroad rewarded General Effiong with huge cash, but the selfless and strict Biafran deputy leader turned it down. Biafra is established on self sacrifice and not self aggrandizement as you have in Nigeria where every Fulani and Afonja, like IBB , tinubu, mko , obasanjo and Buhari thrive on the oppression and blood draining of their wretched subjects. The poor now resort to skull mining and rituals for survival.
