Asari has said it all, you can go hang yourself.
Your trajectory or projectile has no meaning to me since I've always been on the lane with his recent outburst about Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB Biafra.
The guy had schooled you enough to understand what is known as diplomacy and I hope you learn from him since it's obvious he's smarter than you and your god and saviour Nnamdi Kanu.

Very stupid argument. The name Biafra has been there before the creation of Nigeria. If you look at old maps during the 1800 we had bight of Benin and bight of Biafra.
Biafran territory given by the Portuguese didn't extend into present Igboland, it was mostly in southern Cameroon and along the Nigerian eastern coast. Asari was right, Nnamdi should get another name for his utopian republic

That's just reverse engineering. Seeking association by looking for the closest Igbo word/phrase. It's quite common on this forum how many folks try to do that.

Bight is just a recess in a coastline, and with that dem Ijaw people live along the coastline. The location of the Biafra on the map is in Cameroon and Adamawa area.

The word Equator was a designation for the midbelt between Northern and Southern hemisphere.

The word Biafra was a designation for midbelt between North and South Africa. Bi is half, Afra stand for Africa. Biafra is halfway the length of Africa, from North to South or South to North.

Bi is a latin/greco word and doea not belong with the indigenes. Cartographers used it as reference point. However, it belongs on the coast where it was origanally used as a marker. Ibo is not a coastal people, you are hinterland....so I dont know why you would claim Biafra as yours. Moreover you are not even on the midbelt between North and South Africa.

If at all, anyone would own Biafra it will be the Kalabari people.

Mr. Asari Dokubo,

Rather than focusing squarely on your beef with nnamdi kanu and his association and exposing whatever really happened so that reasonable people can see reasons with you, instead you have resulted to insulting the entire igbo tribe, putting you and anybody supporting you in a very isolated space.

Anybody who grew up in Rivers State knows that when an Okirika person is talking about an Igbo man in Rivers State, they're basically talking about any both igbos from S.E and the igboid tribes of Rivers State. This is what your people's complain have been since 1999 that only igbo speaking people have been ruling the state, My question for you now Mr. Man is "Who wan con support you for national level now?" since you have now left your problem with kanu and you are now insulting the people who were majorly backing you. Former Governors Amaechi and Odili and now Gov. Nwaike are self proclaimed proud igbos, Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa, Supreme justice mary Odili who helped you in the past is an igbo woman, so you are insulting all these people because of your problem with kanu. In rivers state alone all the igboic clans, the eches, the ikwerres, ogba, ndoni, opobos, Ngwa,etc so you are insulting all of us because of your problem with kanu?

Patience Jonathan who greatly enriched you and gave you heaven and earth her mother was igbo woman, so you are insulting her mother too? The last time your house was surrounded by the military FFK who is married to an Ibo woman was the one who alerted the entire nigeria, that your house was surrounded, so you are insulting his wife too? Even you who say his greatgrand parents are from Abam or Obosi, and who's grandmother was an igbo woman,so you are insulting your grandmother and great grand parents too because of Kanu? Is this not foolishness of the highest order? Is there any okirika person who can not track atleast one of their great-grand parents to igboland? so you insulting all Okirika people? because of kanu? Which learned person wan con stand gidiba for ground support you now nah? Who wan isolate theirself for a man who has now with even video evidence demonstrated that he is dangerously selfish, hope nobody will come and claim in the future that this video was doctored, and asari didnt say these things.

Oga e go hard for from now on oh, e better for you to buy rope keep am oh, as you have given these so called "Gambari People" the psycological muscle to come and end you as no reasonable rivers citizen ijaw or igbo will touch your matter or carry your matter for head. Or do you think it is the few boys you have armed that's why the nigerian army hasn't come to take you to cleaners. how many people are there in the entire okirika land?

And wait oh! So all this while that you have been disturbing us and singing about Biafra, you haboured all this hate for igboic people and think of us as slaves? so you are looking for a country where you can start slave and master relationship with igboic people as your slave? An okrika man from a tribe with less than 200k people want to be Slave Master to the igboid people of over 55million? haven't you obviously lost your mind?

And stop dragging Ijaw peoples name to the mud, hiding behind the ijaw umbrella. Since you are now being specific in your attacks please start saying Okirika instead of ijaw anytime you describe yourself, no Izon man can understand any of the things you are saying your videos, there is absolutely no understanding in any two sentences between Okirika and Izon, so please use okirika so that anybody listening can be clear of who is speaking. Ijaw National Conference is a political association of riverine tribal communities to form a larger political front, the term "ijaw" is now used to describe that union and there are igboic speaking tribes within the association, so if you want to start displaying madness please clearly state your tribe. Afterall Izon people have their own freedom fighters too, who are much more influential than you, the likes of Mr. Goverment etc, and they will never come out to display this type of madness that you are displaying.

Many people of the niger-delta who dont really know how dangerously selfish you are might be shocked at these new things you are saying but I'm not one of them. In the early 2000's in your fight with ateke for who will control pipeline bunkering in the area, you and boys shot people, torched and burnt down so many houses leaving over 33 of your own people dead women and children including within 24 hours of rioting, a sales girl who worked for my dad's shop at the time lost her mother and sister. Your boys terrorized creek road market thereafter doing everything from begging for food to robbing and raping people. Sadly given that most people from Nigeria are suffering from Stockholm syndrome, we end up idolizing those who hurt us the people who hurt us the most. That is why you are still here alive, having mouth to say his people love him.

I have always hoped that judgement will come to you one day on this earth for all the people you and your boys killed and evil you have done thus far in rivers and bayelsa state, maybe this your newly found madness is God answering that prayers, as those so-called "Gambari People" who have been looking for great opportunity to nail you the cross can now come for neck without worrying about a greater spiral web of repercussion.

Goodluck! you will need it!

Nobody said Igbo's were a coastal people. I just told u guys the origin of the word Biafra and why it was used during Ojukwus secession. The former eastern region originally is the Biafran region. This is not a matter of Igbo's or ijaws its the truth

Continue deceiving yasef, Biafra was coined by the Portuguese for an area around southern Cameroon and eastern coast Nigeria, it has never been reported that the Igbos had any contact with the Portuguese.
Tell Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB to get another name because they have made their former comrade angry and he has revealed the Biafran identity that you don't know.

The office of the Oba of Benin has said this before which was posted here and now this, Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB should get another name biko

pazienza:


What do you mean by the Igbos will be left with nothing if Ijaws revolt?
Nothing can be farther from the truth. Saddly, it's this lazy mentality that ruined and ensured Nigeria will remain a failure.
What develops a nation is human capital and unity of purpose which can only be achieved when the people are of same cultural background united by common descent and Language.

Rwanda is landlocked and is doing quite well without crude oil, likewise Ethiopia, which lost her sea access to Eritrea. If ipob leaders are counting on crude oil to run Biafra, then they are jokers, as I don't see how much the crude oil in Bayelsa has benefitted the people. Crude oil is good, but it's not the ultimate, as Rwanda is showing the world

IPOB set themselves up for failure when they decided to ignore Igbo unification project and are more interested in wild goose chase of pandering to minorities all over SS and even shockingly NC shocked
Biafra is not IPOB or Ojukwu. Biafra is the Igbo spirit. And as long as the Igbo exists on this green planet earth, the Biafra dream will live on, a better group will rise one day, who would learn from the mistakes of the predecessors and get it right. Until then, Biafra will live on in Igbo hearts.
Igboland was balkanized immediately after the civil war with seeds of hate and distrust sowed between us and our Igbo /Igboid speaking brothers in SS. Any body who intends to get us biafra would first have to unite Igboland again, thereafter , we can decide to go at it alone as independent Igboland or try to form a confederate with neighboring non Igbo speaking groups.
But what ipob is doing is try to play the ostrich, by pretending it can bypass the first process, which is Igbo unification.

By the way, no Igbo person well breast fed who isn't looking for contracts from Nigeria or jobs from Nigerian friends would ever open mouth and call Ojukwu a coward.
Ojukwu is the only one and true Igbo leader and he was and is still well respected all over Igboland. So you might need to get your points right. If you think Ojukwu was a coward, you are entitled to your own opinions, but don't you dare try to pass off your Igbophobic opinions as a consensus amongst Ndiigbo.
Ojukwu earned the title of Eze Igbo gburugburu, we don't give such to people we think are cowards.

Bros take a chill pill okay, i am not a Igbo hater as i am delta Igbo and i speak the Igbo language too. I just predicted what i saw coming because i do not trust the Ijaws (ASARI). I kept saying it that the man wants to use the Igbos to leave Nigeria so that he will be the king or president when he will revolt against biafra. Now, see him singing another song.

For me, why i predicted the failure was because i didn't think Ndi-Igbo were ready, there was no unity at all. 90% of Lagos and probably 50% of Igbos in Abuja that has both investment and properties outside the Igbo-land were not ready or reluctant to leave. I KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING.

Can i ask...................... ARE YOU NEW ON NAIRALAND? please don't let me start showing you all the idiots that said Ojukwu was a coward simply because Kalu rose up? Many Igbo people on this platform called the great Ikemba a run away soldier. It will be stress for me but if you insist i will take my time to search for it. I challenged most of the people who said it.

Bros, what you do not know is that the Igbo (states) are not even united, even villages where some people cannot inter-marry within Imo State and i am wondering why? One of my inlaw was killed because they warned the wify not to marry him simply because he is from Imo state and the wife (whom i am related to by Marriage is from Abia state). They poisoned the young man for nothing! wicked world.

It took about 50 yrs for Kalu to come out after the great Ikemba and probably we will have to wait another 50 yrs from Kalu's time too. Yes the dream lives on but what will Ndi-Igbo be doing before then? what are the plans to unite her people?

I think Ndi-Igbo should restrategize on how to play along politically.

The Igbos are far greater than the Ijaw in land mass and population. Igbo land extend from parts of southern Benue,parts of delta and rivers and the five SE states.The British Christianized both the SE and SS at equal straight. In the 60s Igbos were dominant in not only the southern eastern part but in finance, industry, trade,military all over Nigeria.
Look at you the southern Benue was carved into Igboland by the British colonial master. Over the years they adopted Igbo culture, so take Benue off your Biafra. Origin of Idoma is from Jukun from Taraba. Go and meet your related people who are the Efik Ibibio, Oron etc. How long will you be looking for people or land to fix into your Biafra. You are having issues all over , look at Asari Ijaw from Niger delta attacking you people. Even That name Biafra was derived by White people from Ijaw creek.
What are you people doing wrong? I suggest you check yourselves and put somethings right. First thing will be cut down on excessive love for money and materialism. It will help you.

Well I guess the difference between Kanu and Asari is Kanu while in 9ja after insulting some people as you say was still able to travel to 8 different states, and over 20 igbo speaking cities and was welcomed by mobs tens of thousands at all these states and cities. When he was jailed in Abuja and the judge requested a sitting senator as surety with land properties - that request was filled within a couple of days as there was a multitude of senators at his whim for him to chose from. I am very sure even if the judge had requested for owner of an international bank, the request would be have been filled as over half the banks in this country is owned/run by a person from the igboid community. I'm also very sure that if even if the judge had requested for person from vatican city or a known hollywood superstar, Kanu would have had options of people to chose from. So you can see where his Kanu's arogance is coming from. He believes he has a backing of a huge community. Mind you I'm not saying it was good for kanu to go around insulting person. My approach to this conversation is how Asari can come out of this grave that he has dug for himself.

How does Asari's arrogance stack up now compared to Kanu, where can this man now go and find support, he's from a community of merely 200k people and of which over 80% of them have an igboid background. This man can no longer travel freely within rivers to associate himself with other rivers people as over 60% of the people in this state are of igboic speaking communities. He's left his beef with kanu and started throwing stones at his own house, and his friends and family. He obviously has no one advising him. Any little local politician in rivers now can now shake this guy and governor Nwaike will be glad even though used to be associated with him through Patience because Nwaike is very close to Patience Jonathan who is from Okrika.

Who wan con stand with this guy now.

Origin of Idoma is from Jukun from Taraba. Go and meet your related people who are the Efik Ibibio, Oron etc. How long will you be looking for people or land to fix into your Biafra. You are having issues all over , look at Asari Ijaw from Niger delta attacking you people. Even That name Biafra was derived by White people from Ijaw creek.
What are you people doing wrong? I suggest you check yourselves and put somethings right. First thing will be cut down on excessive love for money and materialism. It will help you.
who loves money than fulani that have been ruling you and killing your people and wanting to take you land and have occupied some.worry over your people and land, young man.As for Asari,who takes him seriously? He is seeking for attention, he will get none.Ijaws and other SS tribes are our brother's,we are one and have no problems.

Bros take a chill pill okay, i am not a Igbo hater as i am delta Igbo and i speak the Igbo language too. I just predicted what i saw coming because i do not trust the Ijaws (ASARI). I kept saying it that the man wants to use the Igbos to leave Nigeria so that he will be the king or president when he will revolt against biafra. Now, see him singing another song.

For me, why i predicted the failure was because i didn't think Ndi-Igbo were ready, there was no unity at all. 90% of Lagos and probably 50% of Igbos in Abuja that has both investment and properties outside the Igbo-land were not ready or reluctant to leave. I KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING.

Can i ask...................... ARE YOU NEW ON NAIRALAND? please don't let me start showing you all the idiots that said Ojukwu was a coward simply because Kalu rose up? Many Igbo people on this platform called the great Ikemba a run away soldier. It will be stress for me but if you insist i will take my time to search for it. I challenged most of the people who said it.

Bros, what you do not know is that the Igbo (states) are not even united, even villages where some people cannot inter-marry within Imo State and i am wondering why? One of my inlaw was killed because they warned the wify not to marry him simply because he is from Imo state and the wife (whom i am related to by Marriage is from Abia state). They poisoned the young man for nothing! wicked world.

It took about 50 yrs for Kalu to come out after the great Ikemba and probably we will have to wait another 50 yrs from Kalu's time too. Yes the dream lives on but what will Ndi-Igbo be doing before then? what are the plans to unite her people?

I think Ndi-Igbo should restrategize on how to play along politically.

I know you very well. I have been an active member here since 2007. You are from Igbanke, the Igbo(Ika)speaking community in Edo state. I have had many encounter with you in the past.
No true Igbo insult Ojukwu. Nnamdi Kanu and his followers are ardent lovers of Ojukwu, they never insult him. There are Igbos who insult Ojukwu here, majority of them are impostors masquerading as Igbo, the other are Igbos of questionable loyalty and paternity, FG contract hustlers, inferiority complex plaqued ones who hopes to curry favour and gain approval from their non Igbo friends. Those are the ones who insult Ojukwu and they are of very tiny proportion of general Igbo population.

There is hardly any time when a people are completely ready for freedom, you never know if you are ready until you have tried. Look at Catalonia, they thought that after nearly a century of meticulous planning that they were ready to free themselves from Madrid iron grip. Turned out they were not as ready as they thought. But at least from failures, they have learnt one more method that will not work, and they will go back to drawing board, regroup, restrategize for another trial. That's freedom fight for you. You are never sure you are ready.
Those Igbos in Abuja, Lagos and other part of Nigeria, who for selfish interests want Ndiigbo to remain in Nigeria are vastly outnumbered by Igbos back home and those in diaspora who are pushing for Igbo independence, they (Igbos in Abuja, Lagos and Co) are the least of our worries. If we get things right, they will only have their minority votes to count on and would be vastly neutralized. I do not see them as the problem. Igwe Achebe of Onitsha and Asagba of Asaba has been campaigning on "Aku luo uno" for years now, any Igbo who doesn't heed to the clarion call will have themselves to blame. They can't stop the rest of us from marching on, if we do our homework, which we haven't.


The incidence you painted as sign of disunity is irrelevant, it's petty things that happen all over the world. It's not a consensus in Igboland, it's a family thing don't generalize it. My cousins and Uncles, brothers who are from Anambra are all married to women from Ebonyi, Abia, parts of Anambra. Etc. My favorite cousin sister is married to a man from Issele ukwu in Anioma. We don't do such sully discrimination in my family.
So like I told you, that argument makes no sense. Ndiigbo are reasonably united enough in SE, with issues in Ndoki part of Abia and Egbema/Ohaji part of Imo being a source for concern. But the biggest worry is the issue of bridging the gap between SE and Igboid parts Delta, Rivers, Benue, Cross River, Akwa ibom.

I agree with you on the last point . Ipob is failing woefully because they are putting the cart before the horse. Ipob want to de emphasize on Igbo identity in order to sell Biafra to Minorities in SS and NC. Infact a core Ipob will tell you there is nothing like Igbo, but biafra. What they don't realize is that Biafra became an Igbo agenda immediately after the war, that's how the whole world see it, rather than expend energy trying to play the ostrich and wish it away, Ipob should Igbonize Biafra, use it as a vehicle to work at grassroots unification project of all Igbo speaking people and thereafter either work for independent Igboland or reach out to favourable minorities like groups in Akwa/Cross for a confederation arrangement with fully devolved powers.

You completely avoided the question and went off on a tirade.
How will the referendum work? Will biafrans be interspersed between Nigerian tribes?
You need to tell us the Biafran communities that are likely to be interspersed between Nigerian tribes

He did not have to insult the Igbo nation to make his point. Igbophobia remains a big problem across the South.
