Where are the Igbos in Niger Delta? You have pockets of Igbo people here and there but to say majority, haba.

OfoIgbo:
You have spoken/written well. Do not mind the distractions you are getting from chronic, psychological and pathological minorities who defy reason
We Igbos are used to such behaviours. The actions of Wike in Obigbo comes to mind.

Just like you, to me I didn't see the reason for questioning Bayelsa development rate, but that's by the way.

It is because of such chronic minorities that I am of the opinion that Igbos should keep hold of any of the Igbo territories that are by the ocean.

Ndoki-Igbo people have some prime real estate in this regard, which includes Obuaku in Abia and Ubani (Bonny island) in Rivers state. To avoid these chronic minority mentality and their wahala, it will make sense for Igbos to keep hold of these, and ensure they are not dependent on any minorities for their sea access.
Opobo will depend on whether the Jaja family wishes to join Biafra or another country
PH will depend on whether Ikwerres will prefer Biafra or another country

D igbos are too large, Arochukwu is just one tribe of the igbos...Ekumeku war alone lasted 31 years

Ok let's do this one more time cause this is getting tiring. The Aro confederacy which fell in 1902 didn't signal the final defeat of the Aro confederacy and its allies even after the long Juju of Arochukwu had been blown up by the British forces. The Aro war chiefs simply refused to sign a treaty of surrender to the British and for that reason many of them were hanged. So the resistance stubbornly continued till about 1908 before the resistance was officially crushed, by then lots of the Aros were fighting with their Igbo neighbors on the Western bank of the Niger in the Ekumeku war against the British which lasted for 31 years! so don't dare compare your useless Benin war that was crushed in just a matter of days to the might of the Aros who proved beyond all mettle to be seasoned warriors. We resisted the British for 31 years (if you can't the Ekumeku war), while your tiny empire got thrashed up in just a matter of days.

BKayy:
I dey tell you.
The sole language will be Igbo with no MF complaining about that.
We will have no other option than to dredge Azumiri River right from the sea to Orimili Ogbaru.
Our official law will be Igbo themed.
Our culture of rivalry within cities will propel infrastructure development and when our people leave the state, our neighbors will be like "Oh gush the Igbo are here"
Oh Boi Igbo only state will be the sweetest.
The government can use revenues from our Abundance oil (mind you no oil exploration has been down in SE, the ones you see in Anambra, Abia and Imo are discovered by chance) they will use our humongous gas reserve to power our cities and some small countries around us, reactivate the coal and thermal stations.
Oh Boi with our special trait we will end up being the regional power in West Africa

Adaka life was wasted by Adekunle black scorpio...nothing honourable in that.

U cant compare a traitor with Ojukwu...I cant waste my time on this

valirex:
Where is a British account stating it lasted for 31 yrs?

Don't come online and compare months of running to the Benin War

ogbuefieze:
I'm sure you have access to the internet to do your basic research, abi make I spoonfeed you with everything?

BlackPantherxXx:
Afriifa don't mind him.

Ojukwu ran off wearing makeup and a female gown. Kanu and Zik also did the same ...it's an inborn trait.

Adaka Boro is a hero and he died like a man not like Ojukwu who FFK was screwing his wife.

Logan23:
U must be a baby...Ijaw and igbo led militancy in delta and river state for years......U can never discuss militancy in nigeria without discussing about d massive roles igbo militant commanders played in it. Equally Urhobo and Itshekiri played a massive role too

valirex:
Equals to you are telling lies, congratulations on finally being bold enough to come out

No be only 31yrs na 3million yrs

AdakaBoro8:
thats truth. igbo is a fake tribe.

Ebitimi44:
Don't be too fast, if the Efik and Ibibio have both oil and sea why would they chose Niger Delta instead of choosing the Igbos that will bring traffic and wealth to their region, would Efik need ijaw oil or need Ijaws access to the sea or you think access to the sea alone is enough, lol, they will chose Igbos, Onitsha and Aba alone is enough market, which market is in the Niger delta, don't you see that your sea traffic will mostly be from Igbos, I know with what I had told you Akwa/Cross will prefer Igbos so their seaports gets them real wealth, if we all abandon Igbos, as a country they will just dredge of of their rivers so let's not be too fast in thinking everyone would want Niger Delta, if I'm Akwa/Cross I will also go with Igbos, do you know the level of traffic Igbos will bring to these seaports lol, any economy that exclude Igbos is making a terrible mistake that's why Akwa/Cross always work with them and we can see it, apart from Rivers and PH, which is also shared with the Igbos, which other Niger Delta state can be compared to Akwaibom in terms of development

ogbuefieze:
What is this mongoose twerp even talking about? did you even read the preposterous assertions of your daft Ijaw brother before making a fool of yourself? the tangent of his argument if you failed to read them was that Jaja was never born in Igboland and neither to Igbo parents, the fool didn't even know that all the documented archives of Jaja's( not his real name) from his birth, slavery and consequent rise to prominence in the Niger Delta are available for any layman with a jaundiced sense of history to read. Ijaws can lay claim to Jaja on the premise of his influence in the significant prints of their history, but one thing you can NEVER take away from him was the fact that he WAS AN IGBO MAN birthed by Igbo parents with his ancestral roots tied to his birthplace in present day Imo state.

BlackPantherxXx:
Logan23 right now....

The coward ran and left Effiong who stood like a man.

Yet they can say nonsense about cowardice.

darkwan:
sharrap their....we deltans want nothing to do with biafrans....period....!!

ogbuefieze:
I know you are so poor and intellectually lazy that you can either not afford common data to do your own research, or you are just disingenuously daft and unwilling to learn.

But here you go from a British source among numerous other sources available online, hopefully you can actually read and comprehend this one.

Afriifa:
Lol. Non of these tribes identify themselves as igbos. Wike an Ekwere man, made bold that he wasn't an Igbo man.

Afriifa:
[s]Why tirading? The bottomline will/always remain that Jaja exploits were all executed as an Ijaw being n not Igbo. That's what you ought to understand. Nobody is claiming ownership of his origin, except for you Igbos, possibly out of desperation to credit his exploits to your race. I don't owe you what romantic historians wrote about his origin. All I know is that, he was a slave boy, bought by an Ijaw Chief, and later ritualized into being one of Ijaws.. n That's enough. You can lay claim of his origin as an Igbo boy! I'll lay claim of his exploits as an Ijaw man in an Ijaw Land. Ijaws have always been liberal, we don't discriminate. n That's always being the position of majority of the Niger -Deltan tribes. We don't play tribal politics neither. Take a tour to the Niger -Delta and see if it's dat easy to differentiate an Ijaw man from an Urhobo man, an Ikwere man from a Bini Man, and Efik man from a man in Ozoro. Unlike the biger nigeria, d Biger Niger delta is always one. Check our political and socio-economic trends[/s].

valirex:
Lol, when your lies are bursted you resolve to insults well I just started bursting your lies .

1. That just a website anyone could upload in less than a day.

2. I requested for a written evidence b4 1950, and not fables.

3. The site you sent still agrees that the was ended in few months not even up to a year

3million yrs Ekumeku war

Logan23:
Avengers, NDPVF & MEND didnt fight d govt pls, they fought with pipelines

AdakaBoro8:
yes. u right. but bro u mistake my intent.. i meant also majority in delta, it means ijaw is the 2nd large behind urhobo..

Ogbuu101:
No time for an inferiority complex oil soup head slammer this blessed Sunday morning.
Another time

GidiCars:
This OP is definitely not from the ND. He's Igbo trying to pacify the ND to see why they should join Biafra. Most ND people I've spoken to don't want in on Biafra. I support the agitation for a sovereign Biafran state, but the Igbos should please let the core south stay alone if they want it. The can be an autonomous region just the way Taiwan is to China.


From history, the ND people were forced into Biafra. They never really wanted to be part of Biafra. They wanted their own autonomous region. If the ND get merged with Igbos in Biafra, it'll just be another nigeria for them where they have no control of their resources and lands.

The Igbos would try to lord it over them while shaming them to compete if they're not afraid and stuff. They would also damage their reputation as igbos would do anything to survive. Wonder why South Africa, Ghana, some Asian countries can distinguish Igbos and don't want them in their space is cause of the atrocities they commit.

As YORUBAs are starting their agitation, I honestly don't care if states like Kwara or Kogi choose not to associate with us, even Edo. As long as we have our 6 states in the West intact. The others should choose where they want to be. That's how it should be for the ND people. Don't force them to be with you.

https://twitter.com/iamjohnreuben/status/1332005357003165699?s=20[/quote]At least you admitted you are Yoruba, that's a first. Usually you masquerade as "We Niger Delta people" to propagate your Igbophobic agenda.

Now can you provide a historical evidence by a neutral third party that proves that Igbos forced Biafra on minorities?

Mind you, many Igbos don't want a country with minorities as of present as we consider them a liability to national cohesion. Multiethnicity is a big liability to national building, not even civilized Europeans have been able to master multiethnic national building. Czechoslovakia had to fraction into the constituent ethnicities, and Yugoslavia shattered into pieces. The Irish fought the English to a stand still and in Spain, the Basque and Catalans are fighting Castilians for independence.

Meanwhile, I'm waiting for your evidence that Ndiigbo forced Biafra on minorities.

ogbuefieze:
Lets designate the point of the discourse to some incontrovertible bottomlines, cause I have no interest in your lengthy chit-chats and tripes.

(1) Jaja of Opobo whose original name was Mbanaso Okwaraozurumba was born in Amaigbo, in present day Imo state and to two awesome Igbo parents.

(2) He was taken as a slave in his pre-teen boyhood years and had his name changed to Jaja.

(3) An Igbo man, actually TWO prominent men in persons of Jaja and Omo Jumbo who shaped the history of the Ijaw people were both birthed from the wombs of Igbo women.

And Igbos are not dragging Jaja with you, we can't drag what is already ours so I don't see your point here! we're generous and gratuitous enough to have enormously contributed to giving your people some sort of historical significance, cause truth is without the likes of Jaja and Oko jumbo, nobody would have known your people ever existed in the first place.
