Rebuffed?
How do you rebuff the truth?


There was a protectorate and colony of Lagos , that was not part of Southern protectorate. That protectorate is today's SW.

I posted the topic to show you that it's an old topic and known fact.


Why would I post the thread if I was trying to claim the contents? Are you okay at all?

You love unnecessary trouble, let's assume you are right with your assumptions, the people you are claiming have said that they do not want anything to do with the Igbos today then why are you and who are you trying to convince that they are with the Igbos?
I get am before no be property

Did igboland landlocked? Definitely, no. Because igboland is beyond South east. Did Igboland has oil? Definitely, yes. Three south east states have oil and other igbo communities in South south region. What other things are the igbos lacking that made them to be insulted by some insignificant tribes, some of which are not even up to a million.
Even the oil you claimed that you have is controlled by hausa/fulani and yoruba. I'm sure you are jobless despite oil in your doorstep.

Can you read

Does that imply that all of Yoruba land was part of the lagos colonyhuh
Lol.
All parts except tiny Owo which was considered Oba of Bini area of influence and must remain in same political structure as Edo.

Which people am I claiming?

Oga park one side.

I'm not one of those Igbos massaging fragile egos of minorities in SS.

The only group I'm interested in SS are Igboid groups willing to join Biafra.
That's all.
How can anyone own a people? Are they property to be owned?

[quote author=Ekpeitit post=82853257]It's funny how you guys keep saying people claiming to be from South South ,what makes you think that there are no Niger Delta people on Nairaland?
The Niger Delta people know very well that Igbos should never be trusted and will never go with your Biafra, we also know that if you were not landlocked and we did not have oil Igbo people would never have invited us into their so called Biafra.
Let me ask you something, let's say Akwa Ibom State where I come from decide to join your useless Biafra, what will we gain from that?
What do the Igbos bring to the table,we have oil,what do you have?
You have nothing but the dream to use our oil to develop your Igbo communities.
We don't need you,you need us.
Please form your Igbo Biafra and leave us out of your nonsense.
Ndisime ndito uneghe.
I must emphasize that I am Ibibio not Yoruba.


You guys always keeps shouting our oil, our oil yet the north are the ones enjoying the real proceeds of the oil, all you get is just only 13%. How many oil wells does an akwa ibom man get in your state? You people are only strong when it comes to igbos.
Re: Igbos In Akwaibom: Lessons Learned by Ekpeitit(m): 12:26am On Oct 06, 2019
Your English is terrible, you are clearly uneducated.
If you are thinking of forming Biafra with this kind of English then I really feel sorry for your Biafra.
Just because you are good at petty trading doesn't mean you can survive as a country.
You can't even develope your 5 Igbo states and you are talking about surviving as a country.
Una go suffer die for this Nigeria.

kwara and Yoruba psrts Kogi were also part of Southern protectorate

No, it was not tiny Owo

A good part of today's Osun and Ondo and Ekiti state is what was referred to as Owo division.

Wow! What a rabid Igbo hater. I see Biafra gives you nightmares. Well for your information Biafra will come with all Igbos from every state they are presently located. Neighbouring groups who share similar goals with us shall be part of Biafra and there's nothing you can do about it. Igbos are a great people and it scares the shit out of you. No sorry! Soon you will lose it and use the noose like Ymodulus. Biafra is coming.
Re: Igbos In Akwaibom: Lessons Learned by Ekpeitit(m): 12:32am On Oct 06, 2019
No what gives me nightmares is the thought of my Akwa Ibom State being a part of BIAFRA.
We honestly don't care where Igbos go or what you do,just leave us alone.
We are very comfortable where we are.
Don't waste your time, stop day dreaming.

So you're not ashamed that after being busted as a Yoruba on several occasions, you still stick with this monicker masquerading as an Akwa Ibom. Why are you ashamed of your tribe?

You link is at variance with your claims.
You said;
There was a protectorate and colony of Lagos , that was not part of Southern protectorate. That protectorate is today's SW.
But this is the quote from your link;
Lagos Colony was a British colonial possession centered around the port of Lagos in what is now southern Nigeria. It was annexed on 06 August 1861 and declared a colony on 05 March 1862. The colony established a protectorate over most of Yorubaland between 1890 and 1897. The colony and protectorate were incorporated into Southern Nigeria in February 1906 and Lagos became the capital of the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria in January 1914
Re: Igbos In Akwaibom: Lessons Learned by awgumayor:
Ekpeitit:
My response will be that I don't trust Igbo people. Our problem is that you are trying to put us into the map of your Biafra when you have been told several times that we are not interested. DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW?
You carved a map of your Biafra and included Akwa Ibom State in it,what has Akwa Ibom State got to do with Igbo agenda?
We are not your brothers and never will be.
Unfortunately for you we know your agenda and your reasons for including us in your Biafran map.
Now you are talking about Igbo communities in Akwa Ibom State, are you mad?
Your brain is so blocked that you can't see that the Niger Delta people don't trust you or like you and will never join your Biafra or vote for an Igbo president in Nigeria.
Do you know that Igboland is bigger than akwaibom and cross river and some other ss states with numerous trbes in them. Do you know that igbos are more in population than all the numerous trbes in ss put together. What else do igbos want from from ss that deserve all the insults Can you stand hausa and yorubs if igbos are gone. You have mouth in Nigeria now is because you see igbos arround you.
Yes there are igbos in akwaibom state, when the duty calls we will come for them. That was how some disgruntled individuals were saying that igbos in delta are migrants. What a nonsense. That's an affront to delta igbos. So because igbos frequently travel that warrants that any state aside from south east they sre seen will be considered migrants.

Area4Area:

Don't go there. Our brothers in the SS can never love you more than us. Get that!
Even though IPOB seems foolish in their bid to drag unwilling minorities into their Biafra, no true Igbo wants the SS with us.
The only people who share same destiny with us in Nigeria and in post Nigeria are our kins stuck in that enclave. As a matter of fact, if you want trouble, serious trouble you try put your hands in their matter. We don't joke with them, and they don't joke with us.
Maybe you guys don't understand. The only reason the denials among them seem to be making noise is because we're still stuck in Nigeria. Once Nigeria disintegrates (which I don't pray for) that is when you'll understand that ethnicity isn't friendship. It's a matter of life and blood.

No we in Akwa Ibom State are not your enemies, we just don't trust you and we don't want to be included in your Biafra nonsense,we are very happy where we are.
The way you are sounding you are worst than enemy. Who need your trust. What do your tribe have that igbos don't have in hundreds folds. Can you humble yourself and state your tribe in akwaibom because as far as I know there are numerous tribes in akwaibom. Tell us what your tribe have that igbos are craving after.
Re: Igbos In Akwaibom: Lessons Learned by Nobody: 12:52am On Oct 06, 2019
I have said it everywhere to those who have ears that IPOB will fade out just like MASSOB. An illiterate group controlled by one supreme Jewish man knowns nothing about the geography of his supposed Biafra. He knows nothing about Igbo history and is only suffering from self ego.
The group that will lead Igbo's are yet to be formed. When such group comes, we'll embrace them wholeheartedly.

A typical Igboman will never enter allow an illiterate lead us into gloom with a jaundiced Biafra. Only an Igbo group that will unite all Igbo territories are what we want and shall form in due time.
IPOB are the reason why some nonentities are getting at us because of a useless map. The same way MASSOB ridiculed themselves in the midst of these Igbo haters is the same way Kanu and his IPOB are ridiculing us with their illiteracy.
The Igbo nation haven't spoken yet, we never appointed IPOB our leaders, and no group of person should feel special because of one useless map.

Why do you guys sound stupid. The ghost you're quoting is a Yoruba ewu. He's been busted severally here.
You know an Akwa Ibomite easily. If you want to know the views of an Akwa Ibomite visit their page on Facebook and not on a faceless forum as Nairaland where any idiot can pose as one.

You see?
This is why we think Igbos are fools.
If you have a problem with Yorubas that's your business but my advice to you is that you should start thinking of doing your Biafra as an Igbo thing because no other tribe in this country will ever join an Igbo Republic.
No other tribe trusts the Igbos.
If you doubt me,wait till 2023,bring out an Igbo presidential candidate and see if Akwa Ibom State or any other Niger Delta tribe will vote for you.
Igbos are too untrustworthy to do business with.
Like I said before, I am an Ibibio man not Yoruba.

stop forming professor. Nobody is above mistake/s. Education does not necessarily mean speaking and typing good English. Nigeria is under developed is because of self acclaimed professors, doctors, engineers etc we have who can speak and write good English but nothing to show on ground. Don't think that you are academically better than the petty traders.
Which of your state is more developed than any of the 5 south east states.Don't hide in your mother's kitchen and talk because others are talking.
As if only the igbos are suffering. As far as I know igbos are by far the most successful tribe in Nigeria . No matter the situation in Nigeria, igbos will still outshine others. It's gift and grace from God. Live with it igbo hater.

Yoruba man I've heard. You can keep pressing the buttons of IPOB members who are always ready to jump at any useless thread, not me.
Joblessness at it's peak. Keep up your online battles and receive your pay cheques from Alausa when you're done.
Nairaland has given you guys the leverage to continue your propaganda which begins and ends here.
You can keep creating more Igbo topics and monickers, una well done.

Tell your IPOB brothers to acquire sense and leave nairaland, rather than jumping on every thread created by Seun and his brothers. Nairaland is not the only forum in Nigeria.

The problem of the Igbos is fighting for anyone that is being oppressed irrespective of where the person comes from.

Another problem of the Igbos is their inability to identify their enemies. Enemy of my Enemy is my friend NO DEY WORK.

The Igbos known enemy is the Fulanis BUT the Igbos worst and unknown enemy is the people of South South.

The Yorubas are neither our enemy nor our problem.

Ta ka bu gbuo
you made a lot of sense, but saying yorubas are not our enemies is a big mistake. They are our most dangerous enemies. It wasn't a Fulani or Niger Delta man who killed 3 million Igbos by starvation.
We must deal with the fulanis but we must deal with the Yoruba first
Re: Igbos In Akwaibom: Lessons Learned by irrefragable: 4:58am On Oct 06, 2019
selemempe:
The need for Biafra cannot be over emphasized. First of all, Nigeria is the only country in the world with three major tribes and a 50/50 Christian and Muslim population. That is our major bane and has made national cohesion and integration impossible till tomorrow. Infant, Nigeria is the only country without a national culture or ideology.

However, the call for Biafra has made the Igbos seem weak in the midst of our close neighbours and allies the south south. Everyday we see someone claiming south south, opening a thread and either dissociating their tribe from Biafra or starting an insult against Igbos because of the believe of pro one Nigerians that without south south Biafra is dead.

Is that true? Let's look at the map of Nigeria again
https://d2071andvip0wj.cloudfront.net/styles/image_medium/s3/component/image/nigeria-biafra-map-3dec15.png?itok=vFwPplnn
The south east is surrounded by Nigeria on all sides but it can stand as a country on its own. Estwatini is doing great inside south Africa

https://www.countryreports.org/cdn_image/exW_1200/images/maps/en/wz/wz-area.gif

Estwatini is doing better in terms of quality of life and infrastructure than Nigeria. South east has a port in Onitsha and assess to river in Abia. There is oil and gas in Anambra, imo and Abia. There is still coal in Enugu.

If going forward, the south south folks refuse to unite with us who has never done anything against their interest then we must cut them lose or forget about Biafra.
Afonjas or no Afonjas, truth is that the South south has not done enough to show they are friends of the Igbos. Enemies can only sow the seed of discord where the ground is fertile.
After backing GEJ in 2015 and being hated by the north for it, did it stop Asari Dokubo from calling Igbo ijaw slavé?

How long do we keep lying to ourselves about the reality of our relationship with the south south? What have we ever gained from these people? The civil war was caused by a south south man, but it was us in the south east that paid for it.
The abandoned property saga was not done anywhere else except the south south.

We accept the ibibios in Abia but the ibibios will not accept and respect the Igbos in Akwaibom. We accept the Igala in Anambra but they won't accept the Igbos in kogi or Benue. We accept the cross river tribes in ebonyi, but the cross riverians will not accept the Igbos in cross river.

How long do we play big brother to rude people? The south south should either start acting like dependable allies of Igbos or get cut off. Right now the Igbos seem not to have allies, better that than a fake ally who gives nothing but takes everything, including our dignity.

We must not live in a bubble. Reality is real.
What we are doing is focusing on getting Biafra first. Forget about if SS joins or not. When Biafra is achieved, they might decide to join not. For now we need to include them in the map to coax them into being an ally, because if we don't, they might join the enemies fighting against our Biafran dream. We would rather have them as an ally or being neutral than an enemy; we already have enough enemies from the west to the north.

There's still a likelihood that when we get Biafra they would key in; but whether they join or not, we are still capable of being great.

The point I'm trying to make is "SS joining or not shouldn't be an issue for now. Getting Biafra should"
