I expected them to be talking about Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi. But this is where the comedy begins, they keep claiming Nigeria refuses to let them go, yet they are still talking about adding Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Benue, Cross River, Edo and Kogi to their country. Meanwhile, these are some of the people you claim you want to separate from.

If they simply carve out their 5 states and channel their demands through their representatives at every level of government, I’m sure NASS would finish all readings in one day. By the next day, the agreement would be signed, and everyone will happily begin migrating to their respective “countries.”

But as it is now, even the map is wondering what exactly they want. Peter Obi's catastrophic failure is already staring in the face, that is the simple explanation.
A British man who spent many year in Northern Nigeria before and after the Biafra war told me the British would have allowed the Igbos to go during during the civil war but they wanted to take other none Igbo trades with them, that was why the Igbos were tamed back to their dot in the centre in the South East.

You must he drunk on kaikai with these your useless Map.

Imagine Yorubas drawing Dahomey into their map and saying they belong to the Yoruba country.

I hope everything is okay with you.

Anyway, if the igbos need contributions to actualize their dream of annexing your tiny Benin town just like they took it under 6 hours during the civil war, I would gladly contribute towards the cause. Na because say you don chop bellefulll, you begin to create useless maps.
That map is a Portuguese map not mine.

Is it not completely senseless for the Igbos to invade another region because of their greed for other people's region. Just because the British came and created Nigeria and included the Benin Kingdom in Nigeria because the Benin Kingdom went to war with the British.

My hometown is in your fake map. I am not from Bini or Edo kingdom.
You are the one using an AI map.

Benin Kingdom had an envoy to Europe as far back around 1526 long before the British came to create Nigeria.

Oba Esigie appointed Ohen Okun as an envoy to Europe and Lisbon, Portugal, around 1526 to strengthen diplomatic and trade ties.

Very soon you will also claim that Igbos are indigenes of Lagos, because Igbos migrated to Lagos.

They should just keep their Biafra away from Edo State and the South South. Here is the map of the Benin Kingdom in 1580 by the Portuguese before the British came and created Nigeria. The Igbos in Asaba are settlers that came over from the East.

In Nigeria, Any investment that you see being advertised openly on Radio, T.V, News Papers and the Internet is designed to con you out of your hard earned money.

The wealthy do not like competition. They like to maintain their monopoly over influence & power.

Why share that Influence & Power with the dregs of the society?

Investment that will make you rich & wealthy will be guarded & hoarded like a Gold Treasure. You will only hear its whispers and it will never be opened to the public.

The Midwest Invasion of 1967

Intro:
The Midwest Invasion of 1967 or Midwest Offensive, codenamed Operation Torch, was a military operation between Nigerian and Biafran military forces during the Nigerian Civil War. The invasion began on August 9 when 3,000 Biafran soldiers led by General Victor Banjo crossed the River Niger Bridge into Asaba.

Plans were drawn for the Biafran 12th Battalion to continue its advance towards Lagos and Ibadan. However, it was cripplingly delayed due to arguments between Ojukwu and Victor Banjo on whom to appoint as governor of the Mid-West, giving Gowon enough time to assemble a defensive line in the west. Also, during the occupation there was widespread hostility between native Urhobo-Isoko, Ijoid and Itsekiri people against the occupying Igbo soldiers. Igbo and native militia groups launched hit and run and reprisal raids against each other. In an attempt to ease tension, Ojukwu proclaimed the Republic of Benin (1967) under governor Albert Okonkwo on September 19, only for Nigerian troops to enter Benin the next day on the 20th, ending the new republic's 24 hour span.

Ejoor was able to escape to Lagos while Ogbemudia briefly went underground organizing a resistance movement composed of people disaffected by the invasion. He later left for Army Headquarters, Lagos and joined the Murtala Mohammed led Second Infantry Division on a counterattacking mission to Midwest. On 20 September 1967, troops led by Ogbemudia seized Benin city from Biafran forces.

Ogbemudia was appointed Military administrator of Mid-West state in September, 1967 following the liberation of state from the Biafra invaders forces.[8] Promoted to Lt. Colonel, Ogbemudia was appointed Military Governor of the state on 26 October 1967.

The invasion began on August 9 when 3,000 Biafran soldiers led by General Victor Banjo crossed the River Niger Bridge into Asaba. Upon reaching Agbor, the Biafrans split up. With the 12th Battalion moving west capturing Benin City and Ore, the 18th Battalion swung south, taking Warri, Sapele and Ughelli, while the 13th Battalion headed north for Auchi, Agenebode and Okene. Simultaneously, a plot to capture Mid-Western Governor David Ejoor at his home in Benin failed. Nevertheless, the Biafrans, meeting virtually no resistance, had seized the entire Mid-Western Region in less than 12 hours.

The Biafran situation rapidly deteriorated following a Nigerian attack by Murtala Muhammed's 2nd Division at Ore, forcing the Biafrans to immediately retreat. In a large pincer movement, another Nigerian force headed south from Auchi towards Benin, as Benjamin Adekunle's 3rd Marine Commando division landed at Warri and promptly took Ughelli and Sapele. Benin was liberated in a three pronged attack from North, West and South which met little resistance. Biafran troops that were able to retreat fled across the Niger River Bridge into Biafra, destroying it afterwards. Those that were cut off abandoned their weaponry and uniforms and blended into the civilian population until it was safe to return east.

Ogbemudia was appointed Military administrator of Mid-West state in September, 1967 following the liberation of state from the secessionist Biafran forces.[8] Promoted to Lt. Colonel, Ogbemudia was appointed Military Governor of the state on 26 October 1967.

If the Benin Kingdom have not gone to war with the British in 1897 no way would Biafra have dared to invade the Mid-West in 1967.

But when they tell you about the coup and the Biafra war, they will make you feel sorry for them, not knowing that they were the aggressors trying to invade and grab other people's region and resources with first coup and their Biafra war.
