Denied leadership role?
Go and read the history of that Biafran war
The Name Biafra was coined by a Niger-Deltan
Ejoor, Bassey n co were all from where?
Let's face Zik & Ironsi for their useless acts
Both of them.were nationalists & never for Igbos

I don't have anything against Ojukwu neither do have anything against Biafra, I will choose Biafra over Nigeria anytime any day.

mention the name of Isaac Boro before an old Igbo man and you will know he was blamed for the lost of Biafra war.

You grew up in Niger Delta, you interact with Igbos in the Niger Delta, we in mainland does not know much about him, if not those of us who are vast in research etc. Young man we can work together if you can drop this your attitude, I will randomly interview different elderly people in Enugu if they know Adaka borro, your views of Igbos had done more damage to the region than good

Cherez:

Honestly, don't hold the Yorubas responsible for Odi massacre but OBJ
The Yorubas had nothing to do with it as even the fight activists that spoke up at the time.were also Yorubas. As Ironsi & Zik were never pan Igbo.
Ojukwu would never had behaved like them, that same Zik whom wasn't killed was mainly the reason the 1st coup was termed Igbo, abandoned same Igbos & never supported Biafra
I'm � Igbo telling you this

it seem like you don't know what Obasanjo has done, do you know that Obasanjo was the one who pass the law that FG should have control of all resources? I should leave Yoruba race out of it? when he gave Lagos the power to control all their resources during his reign, I should leave Yoruba race out of it when they were using their media to change the narrative of Niger Delta struggles and paint us in bad light?

Yaraduas regime came to an end the very moment Dora Akunyili, a minister under his administration came out to rail against "cabals".. You guys should stop rewriting history! The Igbo support for the SS has been there and will always be there because of the fact that a sizeable chunk of the SS are either Igbos! Or biologically/culturally close to the igbos! It takes a lot of nerve to rewrite recent history sooo brazenly! The so called SS as a regional grouping is basically the brainchild of Igbo delegations to the national conference under Abacha! Otherwise, most probably, they will still be under the former eastern Nigeria. It was the likes of Ekwueme and co that supported that idea. In that same conference, the idea of resource control/derivation was mentioned, guess what? It was only the SS and the SE that were left together to do the fighting. Even the SW that was hitherto parroting their support for resource control was nowhere to be found..

Yoruba are hypocrites we are waiting for them 2023, they will never get to that centre till thou kingdom come, Obasanjo has done all their tenure.

I don't want to talk about Dora Akunyili out of respect but go read El Rufai's accidental public servant to know how the 'cabal' idea came about.

Every thing I have written here are facts.
I was always supportive of Igbo presidency even on my fb page but when you guys make it a duty to disparage, demonize and insult people, even those you claim to have biological/cultural affiliation with, it becomes 'to your tent oh Isreal'

Before SS was created, there was no longer Eastern region so how would the SS still be under a non existent entity?

The Eastern Nigeria Development Company under the youngest Premier, Michael Okpara built Trans-Amadi Layout, one of the most successful industrial zones in the country and the area that gives Rivers State most of its tax money until tomorrow

It was built under the 1954-1964 Reconstruction Plan. Nobody has done for the minorities what Okpara did in the Eastern Region

After following the north since Boro what have they done for the region except destroy the environment and turn the youth into militants?

The betrayal in the civil war has very little to do with Adaka borro and more to do with the Asaba massacre, which I believe they learnt the lesson, during the war after sometimes the Asaba massacre happened because the people there later pledged Alliance to the federal troups after they allied with Biafra earlier, what did they get in return a massacre of their males, We can't say that the minorities in Niger Delta all betrayed us, what about Akwa/Cross if we are talking about betrayal, we are not referring to the Ijaws, like we are talking about the Igbos in Niger Delta but things are changing today because if the Assba Massacre did not happen the Asaba people could have denied us up to this day, you can see the event playing out with Wike today, Igbos recognizes the right of Ijaws to take any sides they want but we can't help our own people denying us and dining with the real enemies, #AsabaCheta #IgbosCheta

Yes we made him governor but now we feel betrayed and since he is claiming a distinct ethnic identity, some igbos may prefer the narrative that the Niger Delta minorities had betrayed us, the story keeps changing as it keeps changing hands, I know for sure that you don't hate Igbos but you feel uncomfortable around us and I understand, I will feel same if I were our neighbours but look at the fact, apart from Isaac borro when had Igbos had issue with Niger Delta and even at that did he die in the hands of Igbos, do you know why we feel betrayed honestly we dont see borrow as a betrayal, Kaduna Nzogwu was not a mainland Igbo, we loved him, same as ifeajuna, we loved him despite their mistakes that resulted in the death of thousands of Igbos we never denied them, when every one denied Jonathan we stood side by side with other tribes of Niger Delta despite his weakness we chose to sink with him, where is the harm that we had ever done to the Niger Delta, did we take the oil wells no, we don't discriminate against our brothers in the Niger Delta, but look at Wike. So all these put yourselve in our shoes, if you were Igbo how does it feel

I am very happy that Wike has shown his true colours. Igbos have been too naive politically. We show love too easily to people that hate us. This has taught Igbos a very important lesson that we should teach our children. Yorubas showed us their true colours when Jonathan became president and now Niger Delta minorities who were pretending to be our brothers under Jonathan are showing their true colours to impress Buhari.

We are better off focusing on ourselves like others do

honestly Wike is very selfish and mean, Ameachi represent Ikwerre but Wike represent himself and PHALGA, I was shocked when your brothers are all blaming and accusing all minorities for sin of Wike that we protested against with our votes not to be made governor, you guys should face tyrant Wike.
he has many unsettled business with all the minorities tribe in Rivers State., we are waiting to deal with him.

You need to understand that the bad treatment Igbos are getting today is as a result of our love for a Niger Delta and region with greater value, we did not vote Wike becuase we love him, we voted Wike because we loved Jonathan, that's how Igbos work, Jonathan was the presidential candidates of the PDP, if we followed Amechi in 2015, we had to betray Jonathan, we chose to stay with Jonathan because we felt Amechi despite being Ikwerre had betrayed a common goal by aligning with strangers in the form of APC and Buhari which is same thing that usually happens, you won't be surprised if the next generation will say that Niger Delta minorities betrayed Jonathan because of what Amechi did, we are not always right in our calculations but most times we don't feel bad about our decisions, most people see it as pride but to us it is about going for what we believe in whether we win or loose

This your post shows you know not Rivers State. Wike is not just focusing on PHALGA alone, but his LGA as well which is Obio-Akpor. And yes all his projects are in just those 2 LGAs.


Igbos made Wike? This narrative is laughable. Better you say Igbos also voted for him than to say Igbos made him.

The last time I checked 2 LGAs with high concentration of Igbos from the SE was only 40% of the total votes. Remember Okrikans occupy almost half of phalga, other Rivers people are domiciled in this 2 LGAs as well, not forgetting the Ibibio/Efic population in this 2 LGAs as well.

It is mere propaganda fanned by the wailers from the west.
They have been throwing propaganda left and right since the days of the civil war.
Funny I saw a thread where they now changed history and said that their anti Biafra protest in London was done by the Ikwerres

Those wailers from the West also advised Azikwe to take to his heels before the 1966 couo, I presume?

It did not start with Nnamdi Kanu. Was there an IPOB when Rivers State declared "Abandoned properties"? The sentiments by some minorities have been there and will always be there.

Yes. It has been there simply because we shared Eastern region with them.
It will stop being there the moment we unentangle ourselves from them and treat them like they don't exist as well as ruthlessly pursue our own agenda irrespective of how much it might hurt them in return.
I remember not long ago the minorities in Bamenda were all crying about Igbo domination too and making up propaganda to perpetrate them. They would be great once they got rid of greedy Igbos they said. Today they are in Cameroon and because they don't share same administrative unit with Ndiigbo, they can't direct their hate towards us anymore.

The older Igbo politicians were savvy people. They understood the minorities very well. When Zik was running for presidency in 1979 and 1983, he knew he would not get votes from the minorities in the East and so he concentrated on Northern minorities. And as predicted even Awolowo got more votes in old Rivers( Bayelsa, River) and South East state( Cross River and Akwa Ibom ) than Zik did . That's how deep the Igbo resentment there is.
However it never stopped NPP from getting the juicy posts in FG by forming a coalition with NPN.

Ekwueme understood them too which was why he proposed the six geographical zones taking care to carve out the minorities from SE.
The sensible thing a wise person does is to carve out toxic people from yourself and keep them away from you.
Ekwueme was also against Ohanaeze Ndiigbo endorsing GEJ bid to become president in 2011
We all remember how Ohakim working for GEJ shut out Ekwueme and other Igbo leaders from Concorde hotel in Owerri in 2010 where they planned to convey and promote a Northern candidate.
Ekwueme logic was that GEJ must step down and allow the North complete Yaradua remaining 4 yr tenure of the North that was supposed to run from 2010 to 2015, so that an Igbo president could emerge in 2015.
Ekwueme also argued that if we allowed GEJ truncate the North tenure, we would have buried zoning arrangement of PDP and would not be able to argue for the president to be zoned to Ndiigbo in the future. That future is now upon us. We all can see how difficult it is for us to argue for zoning today for PDP presidency.

Bottom line is that we dented our chances of Igbo presidency on the altar of emotions , sticking out for GEJ, whose people are Igbo phobic and will never repay such sacrifice if the roles were reversed.

Going forward we must learn from these past mistakes. To me, any Igbo out there who is yet to see these minorities for what they are, is not worth a leadership post. To even think of someone envisaging adding these lots in future Igbo country, smacks of ignorance on the part of those doing that, which is why I have lost all respect I use to have for IPOB or Nnamdi KANU.
