Ironsi and Ojukwu's war against Boro. Ironsi's attempts at consolidating power at the centre. Ojukwu's rejection of the 12 state structure. What more evidence do you want? 1 Like |

Ekealterego: No, we were civil. It is your Igbo people who disrespected us, laid claims to our communities etc. No one will watch anyone disrespect his history and heritage. Igbo people voted Jonathan because they felt he was a better option against Buhari. Was there any special benefit Ijaw people got from Jonathan being president? The primary beneficiaries were the Igbo and Yoruba. If they were foolish enough to replace Jonathan with Buhari it is on them not us! As Ijaw people we never asked Nigeria for their presidency. What we asked for was homogeneous Ijaw states and 50 percent derivation like it was before the civil war and greater autonomy. We have always been open and are always open to working with any group in Nigeria if it is of mutual benefit. We don't see Biafra as something that would benefit us as Ijaw people and I wonder why Igbo people can't respect that. You don't own us! None of you try to guilt trip Yoruba or Fulani people when you vote them! Jonathan lost because he was associated with Igbo people by the powers that be. He made an Igbo man chief of army staff, a thing that had never happened since 1970 and since his departure no Igbo has been included in Nigeria's security architecture. The issue was never competition. If competition is fair we can thrive. Under the now defunct eastern region nepotism was prevalent. Yes, Igbo were threatened to be thrown into the lagoon in Lagos, is it only Ijaw and Igbo people that are suffering from Buhari's misrule? Both the Fulani and Yoruba are suffering too. Every ethnic nation is suffering too. We didn't ask people to support Jonathan because he was Ijaw, we asked them to support him because he was the better candidate between the major contenders. Sometimes our being reasonable in a country people are not being reasonable has been our greatest undoing as Ijaw people. 1 Like |

PHijo:Daft fish-brained Ijaw clown. The entire population of Ijo minorities across all the states they reside in as migrants (note not as indigenous people cause you are only confined to your monolithic one state in Bayelsa), can't even fill up the landmass a tiny autonomous local government area in Imo state. Ijos are not even bigger in population than the Tiv, Efiks, Ibibios before we start counting Kanuri's... so essentially if we want to be gracious to you people, you are like bottom of the top ten largest ethnic groups in Nigeria. 3 Likes |

PHijo:Please, be fair in your assessment, check the front page where known anti-Igbo agents like the adakaboro guy and others came cursing the OP and the other Igbo respondents. No, Jonathan did not lose because he was associated with the Igbos, he lost because Buhari partnered with the Yorubas to get more votes from the south. Secondly, there was already a strong voters apathy within the South East because the resurgence of the pro-biafra resurgence was getting stronger although there was a strong unflinching support within the large Igbo groups living outside of the SE... In Lagos for example. Buhari has always maintained his 12 million vote base, always. We had other Igbos we could vote for, but they adopted your son. As to who benefited more, nope the North benefited more and not the Igbos. It was after Jonathan's loss that the strong anti-Igbo hates from Ijaws surged. At a time where they Igbos were being mocked and booed. The guys we took the fall for now joined in the mockery and showed your true feelings. On the issue of Biafra, the strongest of the extremist have always voted for choice in a referendum. Nobody ever have ever forced you to join. It was even Dokubo that championed for the Ijaw people before his fall out with MNK. Now, most people are strongly believe in the Ijaw exclusion because it is obvious you didn't ride with us. We have included you in the past because we were part of the same region and seen the same but as you have shown betrayal now and in the past for the dream (which I won't blame you for it) we have accepted and excluded you in the most amicable way. So, I don't think you guys need to make any fuss.. Ijaw is not part of Biafra, neither is Edo or Edoid groups. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Omuaro38: How can people who have been confined to osu status in Nigeria and abroad be gracious to us? It is not within your place to do that! If we want to lay historical claims to Imo state much of Imo state is owned by the Ijaw nation. We are at home in all the states we are found. The only group the Igbo probably settled in Nigeria before are the Fulani. A recent immigrant group into what is now called Nigeria should not blow beyond their belt!

Ekealterego: I agree with you on most of what you wrote. Yes, Buhari won due to Yoruba support. Don't forget the Yoruba always claimed their reason for supporting Buhari was because Jonathan empowered Igbo people. The reason why Ijaw people are very angry with the Igbo in the post Jonathan era is particularly because of IPOB extremists and the refusal of other Igbo to speak up against them. Nnamdi Kanu and his followers have been trying to force Biafra on us and when ever people reject it they say unpleasant things about Ijaw people and Ijaw people respond in kind. I believe that has been the issue, as long as Nigeria exists I don't see why the Igbo and Ijaw can't work together for their mutual benefits. We don't have to love ourselves to work together, we can work together for shared common interests. 1 Like |

PHijo:An Osu is still far better than a Ijo castaway subhuman whose region is the dumping ground of Nigeria's biochemical waste. Na your papa get part of Imo state, dumb Ijaw fish-brained minority clown, thank God for the Igbos who civilized you baboons by showing you how to trade and act like civilized people in a time when your ancestors were still chasing fishes in the creek to hunt with spears. Little wonder our men saw how useless you apes were and decided to plant our superior seeds and DNA in your women... today half of the so called Ijaws in Ibani, Bonny, Opobo etc speak Igbo . Igbo smoking isn't bad, recent studies have shown Marijuana if properly used is actually effective against carcinogenic agents. Meanwhile as an Ijo bottom feeder you are more likely to suffer from toxicological defects to your brain cells as a result of the degradable hydrocarbon waste materials that have polluted your accursed land. Surely the Europeans who came in contact with you Ijo swines saw a lot of abnormalities about your people which they bluntly didn't fail to document in their observations. 3 Likes

Logan23:Probably not FULLY assimilated enough. He still identifies himself as an IGALA. His name is of no importance here, it is just a name. His ancestry and ethnic identity will always be IGALA. Just like the Ijaw king of Apoi (Kalasuwe of Apoi) in Ondo state bears a Yoruba name, the Ijaw kings of Ndoki bear mixtures if Ijaw and Igbo names, but their ethnic identity remain Ijaw (Ibani precisely) So your so-called FULLY ASSIMILATED rubbish is nothing but the usual trash that effortlessly emanates from the anus hanging beneath your nose. 1 Like |

The pollution you Nigerians have created across the Niger Delta just goes to show how stupid you are. That you even boast with that tells your level of reasoning. Even apes will reason better than you. Igbo civilised? Are you dreaming? Igbo that are still primitive till date! What do you know? What complex structures did you have? No form of organisation in Igbo society. All you wear as traditional attire today you either copied from the Ijaw, Yoruba, Hausa, Kanuri, Bini, or Fulani .

Ekealterego: This is where many of you get it wrong! Technically we belonged to 3 out of the 4 defunct regions so this claim Ijaw was included because we belonged to the defunct eastern region holds no water! We belonged to the defunct Midwest, East and West. If there would be a referendum it will be on if we want to form our own country. Igbo people are not in a position to make poliitical choices for us. That's rude. |
