When we were all shouting that Nnamdi Kanu was creating more enemies than friends with his approach to Biafra, they branded us afonja, aboki, saboteurs etc. Hope say una eyes don dey clear now, take everybody along and don't look down on anybody in a struggle. That's how it's done all over the world and Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB can't be different if they are really serious.
Just imagine this man taking a swipe at the Igbo nation because of IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu, what a shame to us.

I would not mind giving a brief touch on it,nothing intense because it is a different subject from the thread.

British attempted to overthrow each kingdom they came in contact with, whether or not they welcomed them with war or in peace. They attempted to overthrow Kings in Yorubaland, the Yorubas outsmarted them and retained their dynasties, particularly in case of Oba of Lagos, Awujale of Ijebuland and Alake of Egbaland. In Egbaland where Alake ruled, they wanted to usurp his power by imposing returned indigenes who are now missionaries to set up parallel courts; the colonial power would only recognize the new courts. Alake outsmarted them and enrolled his children in school to study western education and become missioners. Though they never went into theology, they ended up becoming legal luminaries in Nigeria...one of them Sir Adetokunbo Ademola was Chief Justice of Nigeria from 1958 to 1972. In the North they attempted to depose all the Fulani Emirs and reinstate the Hausa Sarkis on throne. They met stiff opposition and they sacked Sultan of Sokoto and sent him into exile. They deposed many Emirs and exiled them and put replacements on the throne. Fulanis outsmarted them as well and frustrated their efforts. They ended killing the Sultan but in the aftermath they succeeded in subduing the Fulani Kings and in exchange for peace British colonialists agreed not to bring christian missionary work to the core North. In the East, they made a similar sweep but the Ijaw terrain in the lower creeks is an atrocious one. Beside the difficulty of navigation, the dense muck and very high humidity and fever contributed to shield the Ijaw communities from much of missionary penetration and deposition. In the higher creeks however the story was different...in places like Akwa Ibom, Calabar, Onitsha, Asaba, and all over Iboland, missionaries, indigeneous and foreign made a success penetration and a welcome. Thus East is the most Christianized part of Nigeria. In fact Ibos will tell you proudly that it is abomination to find a muslim in their midst, there is none. In a video made by an ipob, he wondered whay a muslim would want to be a Biafran, referring to Asari...and he even went on record to say you cannot be a muslim and a biafran at same time, the two do not go together. This highlights the christian legacy and missionary mindset left behind by missionaries that worked in Iboland. So Ibos became the parallel court and the one recognized by colonialists, thus pushing the traditional heierarchy of Ijaw as the Eastern mainstream political power to the back burner. Ibo became a majority, Ijaw which should have, lost. [/s]

what part of the word REFERENDUM don't you understand?!!! see as your evil, wicked and satanic heart is fighting tooth and nail to sow discord between brethren!!! remember that the Holy Bible has placed a curse on anyone who indulges in such evil!!!

a referendum shall be afforded to every tribe of the greater eastern region interested in saddling up with we, the great igbos, and leaving zoogeria!!!

nobody is being forced to join us and it is not a must that the name of the new nation be called biafra. it could even answer Eri or Gad or Black Israel.

ALL your wicked, heartless and callous efforts at scuttling the realization of the sovereign state of biafra are futile and we, the great easterners, return your evil machinations back to you a zillion fold!!!

Referendum?

wirinet:


Abeg helep me Ask am how the referendum go work?
Will the referendum apply only to tribes, local government , states or to the whole region?
What happens if the calabaris, Ogojas or urhobos reject, but the igbos, ijaws (remember ijaws have many sub clans from rivers to ondo) and annang vote to secede?

GavelSlam:


It's long be sold to a Fulani man from Cameroun.

The battle is for the next generation.

wirinet:

You know understand my question. If Ijaws and aniomas in delta vote yes, Urhobos and itsekiris and Ikas vote no, what happens? Will Biafra be isolated communities or tribes within other tribes in Nigeria?

The different ethnic people of Delta have suffered one kind of discrimination and oppression or the other even before the arrival of Britain to colonize the land.

Asari has a very deep sense of pride in his ancestry and roots. He dials back often to the 1800s and reminisces on the past glories of his people and their power and control of the Eastern sea coast. The Dutch and Portuguese were the offshore merchants but Kalabaris, Ijaws were the onshore merchants and the Dutch and Portuguese traded through the coastal people who then retailed items upland to the people in the Eastrern interior, the Ibos, Igalas, Tivs and so on. There was a relationship stack....and Ijaw was at the top of that stack. So when Britain got here it was also the Ijaw Chiefs that signed protectorate treaties with them.

By order of things political, Yoruba was the Western leg for Nigeria and Hausa was the Northern leg for Nigeria, Ijaw ought to have been the Eastern leg for Nigeria. Why did it not?

Historically, the area known as Biafra 600 years ago can be seen on the map below. The green portion, which is Biafra land, cover much of what we now call SS/SE, as well as Southern Cameroon,
and stops at the Bini Empire in present day Edo state. It was this historical narrative that Frank Opigo , the provincial head of Yenagoa province, reminded Ojukwu of that made Ojukwu adopt the name Biafra. I dont know what historical facts Asari uses to say that Biafra is an Ijaw thing.

Be that as it may, the issue of Biafra has gone beyond the name of an area. It is now about the ethnic nationalities in Southern Nigeria who collectively want to exit Nigeria.

Upton:

I don't care if he spoke the truth. I am not Biafran, i am Edo. The ijaws keep battling for relevance everywhere. They are doing it in Edo and Ondo. It doesn't concern me if the own Biafra or not. Asari Dokunbo's character is typical of an Ijaw man. Ijaws can't be like Yoruba, Hausa or Igbos. They are the fulanis of southern Nigeria.
