Get lost.

You hate the bita truth.

Its a sign of weakness.

Gro up.

EdoDefence:
This is what every Ẹdo wants to hear from you

Yes but in so doing,let's not malign others who also needs emancipation

EdoDefence:
Lol now I see where this is going, you are an Ibo that grew up in Edo and now think you can codedly add Edo to Biafra.

That's not happening, you can continue your onslaught on the Yorubas, while I continue mine on any IPOB that includes Ẹdo people in their fictional map.

You speak my language no mean say make you decide for us, have a good day

Don't ever say say this again.

Only a bastard,I repeat, only a bastard denies his father's tribe/ancestry.
Don't say such things to people.

Excerpts

I begin this write-up by saying that I mean no ill-thought towards the Biafran struggle or Igbos in general. What I’ve written here are mainly my personal reflections concerning the Niger Delta, especially with regards to non-Igbo groups and their stake in the Biafran movement which has been rebirthed for some time now. I am not a mouthpiece for the Niger Delta but I believe I’ve been in the Niger Delta long enough to know our problems and our stand. I’ve also interacted with many Niger Deltans to know their stand in the Biafran sttruggle.

When I use the term Niger Delta, I am referring to the region covering Delta, Edo, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and Cross River states. However, I understand that the region also covers Ondo, Imo, and Abia states. I’m not concerned with the latter because they are either Igbos or Yorubas and have their own struggles. The ethnic groups within my coverage include Urhobo-Isoko, Bini, Esan, Itsekiri, Ijaw-Epie-Ogbia, Ogoni, Afemai, Efik-Annang-Eket-Oron-Ibibio, Ogoja, Ejagham, and other groups in Cross River North. Ikwerre, Ukwuani, Ika, Aniocha, Ogba, and other Igboid groups, are not included. Historically, Biafra covered all the Niger Delta states EXCEPT Delta and Ondo states. This fact must be emphasised.

Pro-Biafrans are welcome to debate and address my issues in a civil manner. I understand that most pro-Biafrans resort to insults when salient issues are addressed.

Please let’s set a good precedence from hereon.


1. Biafra may not be better for Niger Deltans because Niger Deltans may end up living one form of subjugation for another. The argument Igbos have made for their freedom is the desire to be free from Hausa-Yoruba domination. That argument also applies to the average Niger Deltan. Igbo, no doubt, will be the major ethnic group if Biafra is actualised. Ijaws may have a stake due to their numbers. What about the Ogonis, Urhobo-Isokos, Itsekiris, Efiks, etc? Where will they fit in at the national level? The sad reality is that another Nigeria will just be made manifest and resentments will build up. What will really be the fate of minorities? Will they fare better in Biafra or alone? In Nigeria, big groups such as Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo checkmate each other’s excesses very well. Who will checkmate that of Igbos in the new nation?


2. The issue of annexation comes to play. For so long, e-Biafrans have annexed Niger Delta as part of the proposed nation. The map below shows us what Biafrans have drawn to constitute the new nation:?
If we judge from this map, it means all groups in the Niger Delta have been annexed. My question is whether the leaders of these groups have been consulted before the annexation was done. I, for one, know that Urhobo-Isoko and Efik-Ibibio leaders have not approved of Biafra neither have anybody in these regions declared Biafra. So how and why were they included in the proposed map? Little things like this bring distrust and I understand that many of these non-Igbo regions have disowned the map and pledged allegiance to Nigeria. The declaration by the Delta State government is a case in point. I see this as forceful annexation. The so-called e-Biafrans have also not done much in calming the nerves of the people of the annexed regions. I’ve seen comments such as “if you don’t like it, go and stay in Sokoto”, “all land in the South is Biafraland”, etc. Is it not ironic that a group of people who want freedom want to annexe others?


3. What languages will be made the official languages of the new nation? I have seen several posts by e-Biafrans where Igbo was proposed as the official language of the new republic. What then will happen to other languages such as Urhobo, Isoko, Okpe, Efik, Ibibio, Oron, Ogoni, Eleme, Okrika, Kalabari, Bini, Esan, etc? Will they die off because of Igbo? Certainly NOT! If English is made the official language, the Igbo majority factor will kick in. If your name isn’t Chukwuemeka or Oliseh, Amarachi or Nneka, etc, you won’t get any appointment nor shall you be recognised. These are things we can’t deny. We are very ethnocentric in Africa.


4. What and what have Igbo nation done for Niger Deltans to gain their trust? Every day I see Igbo youths making enemies where there were none. They constantly use the agency of the internet to sprout controversy, hurl insults at dissenters and make unfounded claims. There is this general air of mistrust for Igbos by some Niger Deltans, particularly by Urhobo-Isoko and Bini people. What have Igbos done to checkmate this? Has any Igbo leader or group extended the hand of friendship to the Niger Deltans. Mistrust cannot be wished away. Most Niger Deltans would rather follow Hausas as slaves than follow Igbos as kings. This is the real reality and truthfully, Igbos caused this.

5. Who will lead the new nation? Obviously, Nnamdi Kanu, their hero, has fought tooth and nails for Biafra and he is currently cooling off in jail. If Biafra comes today, who will be the interim leader and what modalities are in place for subsequent leaders to be elected? Igbos have been the only ones fighting for Biafra since time immemorial with a handful of other groups here and there. Will Igbos allow other groups to rule over them? Will they allow an Urhobo man to be President, for instance? This is not a case of mere wishing. We have to understand that Niger Delta groups MAY NEVER BE ALLOWED TO RULE BIAFRA IF IT IS ACTUALISED.

6. Still on the issue of leaders, are the new leaders going to fall from the skies or they are simply going to change addresses from Abuja to Enugu. If so, what will change in the new nation? It is not arguable that Igbo national leaders are the most corrupt persons in Nigeria. If these same people are the ones to rule the new nation then there is no hope because corruption will be so rife that the economy of the new nation will shut down like a knocked engine. If we argue that new and younger leaders will arise, we still have the issue of who fought for Biafra to contend with. Most pro-Biafrans will not allow someone who sat at the periphery of the struggle to just come and waltz power away from the “heroes” of Biafra. If this is true then we will not have a proper democracy in Biafra.


8. Will Biafra be a utopia? The impression that e-Biafrans give is that Biafra will be perfect and we all know for a fact that this is not true. Apart from the issue of corruption and sentimentalism that have been addressed, we still have the issue of development. Where will money be generated from to develop the nation? In the whole of the proposed Biafra, only Port Harcourt and Onitsha are economically viable cities. Where will the investors come from? Why should they invest in a volatile country? Only in Warri, we have Ijaw, Itsekiri and Urhobo at loggerheads, imagine what would happen to the whole nation. Secondly, I am sure that no Niger Deltan will allow his “oil” to be used to develop Enugu like what happened with Abuja, and is still happening today. Niger Deltans are getting wiser and by the time the new nations are formed, matters that border on oil, wealth distribution and infrastructural development will be raised.


9. The current structure of the proposed nation, as shown in the map earlier embedded, favour Igbos with more states. Urhobo has one, Efik-Ibibio has two, Itsekiri has none, etc. How will this be addressed? Certainly, every ethnic nationality will want adequate representation and so the structure on that map will never work.


10. Last, but not the least, is the issue of referendum. Some Biafrans are already calling for a referendum which will involve all parts of the proposed nation. I am pretty sure how this referendum will turn out. However, for the sake of being hypothetical, let us imagine that some ethnic groups/states vote against Biafra by the majority, what will be their fate at the end of the day? Secondly, will the result of such a referendum be true and honest? I understand that electoral malpractice forms a part of our identity. How are we going to get a true reflection of people’s thoughts? Thirdly, if states and ethnic groups do decide to vote for Biafra, what mechanisms are in place to contain Igbophobia, Igbomania, Igbocentrism, Igbo hegemony, Landgrabbing, and all issues that minorities have raised?
Above are the reasons why I feel that Niger Deltans will NOT subscribe to the Biafran movement. I have been very practical, philosophical and hypothetical in my approach. I do not speak for any group or persons but I present these issues for the pro-Biafrans to address. Niger Deltans can raise more issues that I have not raised. Finally, it should be noted that I expect insults directed at my person by e-warriors and keyboard mercenaries, as usual, but I won’t pleasure such persons with answers or altercations. If you raise good points, we can discuss like intellectuals.

I wasted my precious time reading this jargons by one person who want to cause trouble
I have been reading most of Jonathan's post, i know how he writes... not that rubbish OP posted

For most of you insulting that innocent man, you need to check your brain again, has Jonathan ever written or talk like this before?

Nobody added edo or bini or any part of ur enclave into biafra....Never happened in 1967, hasn't happened today.

Do you think Bini give a Bleep about you Igbos? Thanks to British maybe all the south east would have been an Amazon forest. Slave.

Igbos also dont give a flyfuck about Benin or Edo.

U meant u are slave to the British or what?


Benin had a kingdom but there were so so scared of coming to the Amazon forest owned by the igbos. Coward slave.

soundOsonic:
This shows you agreed to my point that most Igbos feels they don't need others but others need them.

This is clearly a narcissistic behavior. It is even worse as they agree they display such behavior.
"They are better than everybody" "everybody needs us" "we can do without others" "we are the greatest people by default" "No one can match us"

This is clearly the anthem of a Narcissist that needs help. It is so pungent and foul to even eat with people like yourself.

These are the most toxic kind of Igbos I have met. I have met good people, in fact the igbos are the nicest people I have lived with at thesame time there exists a foul percentage that are ego centric and give the igbos a bad name.

FYI we are people and people needs people to survive.

""This shows you agreed to my point that most Igbos feels they don't need others but others need them.''''

U don't understand types English langauge.



"" "we can do without others" "we are the greatest people by default" "No one can match us"

Quit the mumuness, Niger deltans are free to tell igbos that igbos want them because of crude oil and at the same time igbos shouldn't respond in kind.

The british were very afraid of the igbos. It tool over 35 years for the British to defeat the igbos whole it took a few weeks for then to over run, decimate and burn the entire bini kingdom to d ground.

IGBOS were clothes far before the white man did, Only a fanatical lunatic will try to argue otherwise. We had Akwaette clothing that we weaved from ancient times and we had iron mines in Lejja Nsukka where we manipulated metals and made several forms of materials......Ur British Gods used carbon dating to record that the igbo iron mine in lejja is thousands of years old, which spurred an igbo female historian to write a book named - THEY EXISTED BEFORE ADAM.

Please get yourself a book and read, don't just spit bulljive on the internet thinking most of us reading are fools. Igbos are like the Yorubas collective of tribes there was nothing like igbos before the brtis came to West Africa. Majority of your ancestors were naked in the bush stop arguing with yourself. Dude, I'm from Edo State and we don't give a dime about the brits. I don't argue online I would rather read and research but I get pissed off when you guys think Bini care about your Biafra or Bini is championing to be part of your country. Why do you think people with greater civilization than you would want to be part of your country? I love you guys but it seems there's something about nairaland that encourage hate speech and tribalism.

Sylvia Leith-Ross was an Anthropologist employed in 1930 by d British govt to Re-study the IGBOS after the Aba women riot......From her study, She wrote the book, AMONG AFRICAN WOMEN, with the preface written by Lord Lugard.

This is an exerpt from her book and I quote :

""These people are not intimidated by us, and are rather amused by us. They watch us and learn quickly what we know. God help us the day they climb the ladder.”
Goan find her book n read.

It took 30 years for the British to defeat the Mighty IGBOS, No Ethnic group in nigeria held them for that long, Most of u guys fell after a few weeks of British assault.





""I get pissed off when you guys think Bini care about your Biafra or Bini is championing to be part of your country.""

This is a very stupid statement, delete it..
I NEVER said Bini is championing to join biafra or anything like that.


""Majority of your ancestors were naked in the bush""

Ur ancestors in d Bini kingdom were naked and lived in the Bush wen the whites came, IGBOS had sophisticated Mud n clay houses and wore clothes before the white men came. We mined the ground and brought out metals to build several things, We mined Gold and Silver and used it for several ornaments....keep ur bini naked darkness to urself, no involve other more advanced tribes.




""there was nothing like igbos before the brtis came to West Africa""

I dont know why u are proudly ignorant. Olaudah Equiano who is an IGBO man sold to slavery recorded in many of his books that he is an IBO man and he lived and died between 1750 and 1800, long before the British came into Nigeria...Suppress ur ignorance

Nwanne, British didn't declare war on your tribes because it would spill doomed. Unlike Bini there was a declaration of war all over Europe and they had to reinforce themselves with better ammunition and local slaves to fight with the Bini kingdom.

If truly Bini was naked before the white men came, they'd have recorded it on their books. Benin Kingdom was already flourishing before the white men came to the Kingdom. Unlike your ancestors, who were wondering around naked in the bush. Please Igbo didn't live in mud houses, maybe if you're talking about Aro I will give you that, just maybe, but a majority of your tribes live in the bush.

Dude, there was nothing called Igbo.... All the books I have read is Ebo or Eboe. How does that translate to today Igbo and who were the Igbo then? Olaudah Equiano live in Benin Kingdom not the south east.

Nwanne, British didn't declare war on your tribes because it would spill doomed. Unlike Bini there was a declaration of war all over Europe and they had to reinforce themselves with better ammunition and local slaves to fight with the Bini kingdom.

If truly Bini was naked before the white men came, they'd have recorded it on their books. Benin Kingdom was already flourishing before the white men came to the Kingdom. Unlike your ancestors, who were wondering around naked in the bush. Please Igbo didn't live in mud houses, maybe if you're talking about Aro I will give you that, just maybe, but a majority of your tribes live in the bush.

Dude, there was nothing called Igbo.... All the books I have read is Ebo or Eboe. How does that translate to today Igbo and who were the Igbo then? Olaudah Equiano live in Benin Kingdom not the south east.

I'm still waiting for ur reply, why did u disappear??



Let me cure ur stark madness n stupidity once n for all...

Still waiting.

Do you have any historical evidence to buttress any of these rubbish you wrote there? We have always wanted biafra and if the Niger delta wants to remain in Nigeria, good for them. Is that difficult to understand? Assuming Igbo are like the Hausa's like you claim, we said we want to be on our own, what is your problem with that?

soundOsonic:
This is the Igbo centrism we are talking about. Igbo don't need Niger delta, Naira delta need the Igbos?.
If Biafra comes, this statement clearly shows how ego centric most Igbos are. You are not the first I have heard this from, neither are you the second.
But seriously Niger Delta is just an end to a means.
Igbos and the Hausas are just to end of thesame coin. The reason why they are at each other's neck is because they have very much in common than any ethnic group. What the Hausa are doing to Igbos in Nigeria, is what Igbos will do to the Niger Delta.
Hausa and Igbo are in every villages in Nigeria they can't just stay one place.

Hausa and Igbo are at every market in Nigeria, they can't just let indigenes do their own market.

Hausa and Igbo are the ethnic group that does mostly petty businesses.

Hausa and igbo are the one with most unified religion (Christianity and Islam)

Hausa and igbo youths are ever ready to lose their life because of one supreme leader (Northern caliphate who lurks in the shadow and of course Kanu who ride to battle field with his keyboard) their youths are bunch of amateurs.

Hausa and igbo have the highest number of billionaires. (Shadow billionaires)

Hausa and igbo rarely gives their daughters to other tribe.

Hausa and igbo are not tolerant of other people religion.

Hausa and igbo for some strange reasons thinks they are destined to rule.

You all are thesame
