Patience at Okrika incident, the destructions of Shanties and Patience insulting Amaechi live on TV, I watched it live on Silverbird TV, was not enough reason for the President to turn his back on the most influential Governor in Nigeria who was a shining light of PDP and the Niger Delta region.

The point is that, Amaechi did nothing wrong for the kind of backlash metted to him by Goodluck. Also Goodluck was the one who betrayed Amaechi by using his Federal might to destroy the progress of the State. Then removing Amaechi as head of the Governors Forum and suspending him indefinitely from the party.

Who betrayed who?

To tell you the truth, i'm completely fed up with this contraption called called Nigeria. I Believe Southern Nigeria would have fared much more better if assuming we were not amalgamated into what is now Nigeria, so i do not believe in the Nigerian Project. I believe the Yorubas and igbos would in no way hamper the progress of the Niger-deltan People if a southern confederation of states is formed for instance, with true federalism and total resource control practiced. I believe the Relationship will be a healthy one because we will surely need the educational sophistication of the southwest and the business oriented mindset of the igbos to also thrive such a state. and most importantly, we will have the yorubas to checkmate and contend with the excesses of the igbos and vice versa. As an urhoboman, i do not mind having the capital Of the New Republic in calabar for instance, as long as treaties and MOU's are Signed to ensure that the warri port and refinery becomes functional.

Prior to independence the minority groups in their Provinces had control over themselves and resources directly, these provinces were made up of Divisions.

Calabar- 8 Divisions. Ogoja-5 Divisions Rivers-4 Divisions Onitsha-5 Divisions Owerri-5 Divisions.

Though Ogoja province controlled what is now Ebonyi (Abakaliki, Afikpo). Everybody had it going for themselves until the drum of independence started drumming. The IBO's despite having the smallest land mass had the population.

Eyo Ita the leader of Eastern government and the NCNC was machinated out of government by no other group but the IBO's. Azikiwe who had been playing politics outside lost out as an an opposition figure in the west but ran down to the East and used every tribal sentiments to remove the Eyo Ita led NCNC. This myopic selfish acts by Azikiwe birthed COR ( CALABAR OGOJA RIVERS)

From 1954 AZIKIWE took charge, later became Premiere, left to become President but he made sure IBOs continued. Michael Opara was Premiere, Akanu Ibiam was Governor, Ojukwu was the last governor. Every KEY POSITIONS were IBOs. The capital of the eastern region having been moved from Calabar to Enugu gave them enough impetus to control the region politically.

The major source of income was palm oil Calabar province alone which had 8 Divisions was the highest contributor, AZIKIWE came in and cornered the Commonwealth to predominantly Igbo's speaking enclaves. Educational facilities ( University of Nigeria), hospitals, infrastructures were concentrated in Igbo land. The Africa Continental Bank set up by the entire region wealths, I tell you had AZIKIWE as the largest share holder and IBO's as the major staffs and loan beneficiaries.

While branches of the banks sprang up in most Divisions in Igbo land, Calabar a Province had one only. My grandparents/ uncles had to be going from Itu(a Division) a very thriving port town to Calabar for banking. AZIKIWE did not just engineer the removal of Eyo Ita from his position, he made sure key agitators were decimated and wickedly enough it was only to groups outside of Igbos. The then Obong of Calabar was one he really tormented by encouraging and creating Chiefdoms to spite the Obong.

The Ibibio/Efiks and others he appointed were basically albatross to the Obong, Eyo Ita Udo Udoma and other COR agitators. The divide and conquer tactics he adopted may not have been been an Igbo agenda but AZIKIWE a man at that height and leadership encouraged it to the fullest.

The Eastern Nigerian Scholarship Board was seriously basta-rdize by the IBO's control government, Adaka Boro was on this scholarship, my grand uncle applied for 3 good years but NEVER got it. The last time he went to Enugu to check for his name was worse than all time IBO's had 70 out of the list of hundred while others where names from appointees. This is a scholarship for the best in d region but they sat on it like their birthright. This scholarship gave them miles ahead of other tribe. Well he did get a scholarship/ grant from the Presbyterian Church to read radiography in Scotland.

BIAFRA was only a continuation of where AZIKIWE left it, ADAKA BORO who dropped out of the University of Nigeria claimed to have won the students union election but was rigged by out due to his minority beliefs. He had declared sovereignty for his own people ( unlike IPOB) but Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi rejected it and jailed him, now OJUKWU an IBO man declares his BIAFRA expecting Adaka Boro to be part of it, imagine!

BIAFRA was an IBO creation most of the other ethnic group only wanted a STATE of their own. Let it be clear that the Ibibios had men of high ranks on both side. The highest in the entire Nigerian Army was an Akwaibomite Brig. Gen. Bassey Wellington. Ojukwu never measured up to Philip Effiong not to talk of Bassey Wellington.

Bassey was on the Nigerian side but Phillip Effiong his junior joined BIAFRA. The Igbo's had Ike Nwachukwu(Gen) even AZIKIWE never supported it but the Biafrans never went to their villages and massacre rape anyone but this they did in Ibibio land. My aunty an amputee got shot in her dormitory while in an all girls school when the Basta-rds stormed there, and this is in a community where the 2nd in command of the Biafran Basta-rds soldiers comes from. Ironically are grandchildren are IBO's cause her only daughter is married to a port Harcourt based Abia man.

Honestly when you guys go huffing and puffing up yourselves do you stop to listen to others or you just see things from your own perspectives?

For the IPOB rats who had to spit on MASSOB and metamorphosed into a brand of Online propagandists thinking they know better than what a SS man in Adoko Boro started, KANU and his IPOB will regrets crossing into territories they aren't welcomed.


Blackking98 and South South people If any IPOB thread on you do same to him we have always been ahead in everything and we may be calm but BOLD and FEARLESS

Amarabae:
Greetings lovely humans!
This short post is aimed at correcting some misguided and delusional orientation that IPOBs have about Rivers state,
As Rivers state indigene born and bred there, though married to a south east state, I am well grounded about the total makeup of the south south state and IPOBs should learn.
1, Rivers state is not an Igbo state, it is erroneous to assert that , it is a multi ethnic state comprising of kalabaris, okrikas, ikwerres, Etches, Ogbas, Ekpeyes, Elemes, Ogonis etc
yes the ijoid sub-tribes there affirm a solidarity to Ijaw nation , likewise the ogonid sub-tribes affirm theirs to ogoni nation except for a little denial in eleme but There is NO strong or firm solidarity to the Igbo nation from any rivers tribes, the few little solidarity comes from egbemas in Onelga and we ASA/NDOKIS in Oyigbo, the reason why is because we still have our kit and kin in ukwa west, ukwa east and ohaji egbema LGAs.
The ikwerres, Ogbas,Ekpeyes,Ndonis,Etches Are recognised officially as an independent tribes in Rivers state, and since as a people, they have vehemently denied being Igbos , their decisions must be respected by IPOBs,
ikwerres are ikwerres
Ekpeyes are Ekpeyes etc case closed.
.
2, Port Harcourt is not an Igbo city,
you can't refer pH as an Igbo city just because of the ikwerre factor there when the ikwerres over the years have denied affinity with Igbos,
PH belongs to rivers tribes, case closed and there was no time in history it was officially registered as Igweocha, that was a nickname just like some call it Pitakwa.
3, Rivers state should be counted out of your biafran ipob map because at the mention of that name, many wounds that was sustained during the war gets opened up again,
wake up to reality and stop deceiving yourself, Rivers state government and even Rivers state council of traditional rulers have warned you IPOBs yet you irritants don't want to learn. is Alright,
4,The governor nyesom wike is not an Igbo man but Ikwerre man ,he has never claimed Igbo,
he is a bit Igbophobic, go and read about his igbophobic records as obio akpor local government chairman,
this same wike renamed a stadium after yakubu Gowon,. a man whose war actions killed many Igbos yet wike immortalised him ,yet your afara born direction keep deceiving you about wike on radio Biafra, you don't yet want to have sense.
Was it not wike who hosted the oba of Benin and affirmed ikwerres loyalty to his kingdom before him, you know all that yet you are living in denial, its alright!
5, The state is still Igbophpbic,case closed,
you are tolerated, not welcomed and you know that.
even nnamdi KANU knows this,that's why when he was around and was talking about coming to his Biafra capital "igweocha", the guyman parked at oyigbo and never stepped foot in pH, or core rivers area, he knew about the repercussions, let's stop deceiving ourselves
.
show me one ijaw man supporting Biafra and I will show you 1000 ijaw men who will spit when that name is mentioned, same with the ikwerres and co,
that's a bitter reality
,
If you have had a first hand experience of Igbophobic outrage from these minorities, you will know that the "Fulanis and Yorubas are learners"
I will stop here ,part 2 is coming.
You have been rejected many times yet you are still stubborn , that means that you have an ulterior plan,
Ipob stop attracting insults to the great Igbo Nations , have some self dignity before them,
The minorities don't need Igbos to survive , the Igbos don't need them to survive, but Ipob is making it look as if they are oxygen to Igbo's.
for me its either we restructure Nigeria or a homogenous Igbo only country ,
ipob should start waking up to reality before it is late.

Ojukwu never dragged you in to the war . I blame him for plunging the whole Igbo race into war because of the death of an anioma man named kaduna nzeogwu.

We must develop Asaba before going

pazienza:
Ogoni is already a member of UNDPO and MOSSOP is even older than IPOB.
Oro has been in fight for independence as well. There used to be an Oro moniker on this forum years back who was leading the campaign.

Ijaw dominated and ruled old Rivers state with iron fist, so much that Saro Wiwa started campaigning against Ijaw reign.
The Igboids are completely dominating modern Rivers state as we speak.
Urhobos are virtually the kingmakers of Delta politics.


It's good to dream of a monolithic Niger delta republic as an Ibibio-Annang-Efik man whose population would automatically make a major dominant stake holder of such country, like IPOB are dreaming of a heterogeneous ethnic Biafra, but how about smaller groups like Ogoni
who are tired of playing minority even amongst minorities? Reality suggests how non-feasible those dreams are.

He became deputy Governor and the Governor died, he became vice president and the the president died. He left office and Nigeria is about to die.
All those who opposed his re-election in 2015 are getting their as whipped one by one: Sanusi, Melaye, Saraki, Sowore, Ali Modu Sherrif, Ali Ndume, the West both Western Nigeria and Western World, Kwankwaso and name them. I am not insinuating anything.
