See this one, what is Niger delta? What does it mean in your language.
Was there anything called Niger Delta before the creation of Nigeria or even before the war? In a bid to separate oil producing states from Igbos and shrink their landmass after the war, they annexed half of igbo land away and created an imaginary entity called Niger delta, of which ondo state is a part of. What similarities do the people of Ondo have with the "Niger delta" None!!

They changed the names of IgweOcha, Igodomigo and all other cities in the region to obscure names like Port-harcourt e.t.c What affinity do these names have with the culture of the inhabitants of that area? None!! It's just like saying that fulani people are brothers to the yorubas in Oyo state.

There are Indigenous Igbos in huge quantities all over the "Niger Delta" and non-igbos as well who are united by language, culture, facial resemblance and historical ideals and then Nigeria as an entity tells them, "The Igbos are not your friends, they are not your brothers" instead "The yoruba from ondo, the Edo's are your brothers"

What nonsense! The problem i have with the average black man is their inability to question the status quo. They just believe anything you tell them and gobble it down hook, line and sinker. If the Europeans propound a theory today saying that the black man is a descendant of the devil, youd see the black man not only accepting it but also rejoicing and teaching this folly in it's schools and graduating "intellectuals" who will write thesis reports on the validity of this teaching.

I weep for the Africans!!!

Biafra didn't exist before, the defunct eastern region you Igbos wanted to kill and die for didn't exist either.

The Edo and Yoruba are even more of our brothers than you Igbo are so stop trying to push that narrative. It won't work!

There was no time Port Harcourt was Igweocha and there is no time it will be Igweocha.

You Igbo should mind your business and stop trying to tell us how our place should be and what names they should be called.

No matter how you stretch the Igbo identity, people who could be Igbo in the Niger Delta area are very few.

The Niger Delta describes the geography of some places along the Niger River. They form a delta ( triangle like shape).

Instead of addressing issues bordering on the crimes you Igbos committed you are trying to derail the discussion.

If this is what all the Nigerian first coup plotters could say as what triggered them; I will say they are dunces. Everyone of them. To h_ell with them.

Subsequent coup plotters like IBB, Buhari, Obasanjo, TY Danjuma, Jerry Useni etc, said less than this but are still relevant in Nigeria today

A nationalist buried with a separatist flag? The man declared himself to be IPOB till death.

It's because we Nigerians glorify money and power. If Nigeria should be a working state, no formal head of state or president after first republic would have their liberty today. But instead, each ethnic praising their own.

Even the Green white green is a separatist flag, it was not the original flag of Nigeria, you only got the flag after separating from Britain

All goes to show that the union of Nigeria is unworkable, and we should have peacefully separated and gone our seperate ways long ago

Rest on hero. History remembers you.

He was no hero. He was one of those that that truncated our juvenile democracy in 1966. His kinsman Ironsi took over and with his unification decree destroyed Nigeria.

A hero!

I have no problem with the flag but calling him a nationalist at the same time is not logical.
You can either be a nationalist or a separatist, not both at the same time.

Hmmm.



Those power-hungry officers of then.
