gidgiddy: If that is how a country is declared then anybody can declare a country. Isaac Boro just got one day, armed some men and declared a Niger Delta Republic. That is not secession, that is banditry.
In Ojukwus case, Ojukwu had a binding agreement with Gowon that was signed in Ghana. When that agreement was broken by Gowon, Ojukwu called a meeting of the Chiefs and representatives of all the 20 provinces of the old Eastern region. They met and gave Ojukwu the mandate to declare the Eastern Region a separate country, infact, a representative of the Ijaw people called Frank Opigo asked Ojukwu to call that separate country "Biafra"
So the difference with what Ojukwu did and what Isaac Boro did is that while Ojukwu acted with the mandate of the people to declare the Eastern Region Biafra, Isaac Boro had no mandate and nobody knows to this day what area he declared Niger Delta Republic
So who did kanu sign any agreement with before calling for secession?
And did you forget that igbos have surrendered to be fully Nigerian in their surrender agreement in 1970?
gidgiddy: Ijaws didn't actually secede. What Issac Boro did was not secession. Isaac Boro just took some guys, armed them, then declared Niger Delta Republic.
Anybody can do this
I like the way you igbos give excuse for your atrocities. You always think everyone else is a fool. You are the only smart ones.
There is no difference between his declaration and ojukwus declaration. If you can give excuses for igbos crushing of niger delta republic, then ou have no right to condemn Gowon for crushing Biafra.
valentineuwakwe: silence does not necessary I don't care...it also means I am sorry..the VP knew deep in his heart he wrong you n wanted to say am sorry....
You keep commenting on what you know nothing about?
Is the vp the judge that sentenced him? Is NPA under the Lagos state? He was jailed in 2009, was Tinubu and the VP still in government then?
These are the questions sane individuals should ask but hatred has clouded your brain.
Alanpoza007: Shut up and stop arguing what you don't know about. His full name is Emmanuel Ifeanyi Ikubese. Since when has Ifeanyi been an Ilaje or Itshekiri name? Who made you an authority over Ilaje or Itshekiri names? What do you even know about those two tribes..
A post that holds no relevance in the country. Almost all profession have the highest office but only Accountancy (Accountant General) stands high above all.
Richdad
You would have wailed yourself to death if he appointed a northerner. Ipob fool.
Too many emotional idiots on this thread. Nobody countered the man. He spoke his mind as a person and you need to tackle him with facts. Kids these days lack education.
majamajic: una daddy don sell una birth price to the north , them do una juju to always face east when u suppose to face North. I like what una daddy did to u guys , when did u go Saturday party last ? una elder statesman's daughter was killed , una face east !!
Absolom generations, Na only sex una know,
Obi has sold your your destiny to the north. Now herdsmen are killing you. Python is dancing over you. You are under occupation. You are a conquered war slaves who have no say in the country. I spit on your flat head. Your only portion in life is to carry drugs and fill up prisons all over the world.
jakezebrax: Better than afonja agbo sellers. You don't know how other tribes view you people? You people are worst than Northerners. You hide under One Nigeria to mask your laziness and condition.
I think they are better than Igbo criminals too. If you had a brain you would not call an Agbo seller lazy. She’s better than an Igbo armed robber, Igbo kidnapper and drug mules.
Other tribes view Yoruba as gods. They treat us with respect and wish they be us. You must come to our land to be civilized. All your leaders grew up here and had our civilization before becoming your leaders. I’m sure you have not been to the south west that’s why you reason like a pig.
enjoy it in peace don't bring in peaceful east in here
wetin concern the east on this matter ?
Wetin concern east but you here foaming in the mouth? Your governor declared fasting and prayer when your mothers and sisters were raped and killed. You voted atiku so you will enjoy herdsmen killings and annihilation.
RTSC: Many igbos are doing great, this one is busy scamming uncle Sam.
You are finished, Sir.
You wouldn’t say this if he was Yoruba. I didn’t see any tribal ish in this thread but if he was Yoruba you guys would have littered the front page with your hatred.
Drnice: Then, your guys should be grateful. Our guys are special cos we propagate seeds for the future, and we must do this with our ladies. They are too precious to us cos of ....
Be grateful for what? For “buying of” your sisters who are out of reach of your men? A time is coming when Igbo guys will not be able to marry because Yoruba and Hausa are marrying your sisters and your men are too local to marry a Yoruba woman.
