During the Biafran war, all the technical professors in University of Nigeria Nsukka became legends. They designed bombs, grenades, rockets, etc. In short, they designed a refinery to refine crude oil.

Prof Gordian ezekwe led the Rocket Group under Biafran Research and Production Directorate (that was Lockheed Martin, Boeing, etc in one). The accomplishment is uncommon as they not only designed the systems, they designed production systems, and manufactured the stuff, while under sanctions and blockade, which made it impossible to even import salt. Prof Njoku Obi while under the sanctions invented a vaccine which the WHO approved for the treatment of cholera. That vaccine was later used during the Kano 1970s cholera outbreak.


The ingenuity of the Igbo man is second to none, Nigeria is just a terrible limitation

How do you know Obi would have been competent? Did you see what Igbos did online during that JAMB issue? A girl forged result, they tagged JAMB Oga Yoruba Muslim and started bigotry. Did you See people like Charley Boy, ezekwe whatever did online? It is vice versa. They go after imaginary enemies. That Edo Election was purposely to spite APC and Tinubu. Obaseki belonged to APC but changed at dead minute. Igbos were all online pushing him. It is no hatred but fact! Igbos and Wike.

komzy589:

Online for election matter?
If everything happening online is reflective in reality, Obi will be President.
I’m closer to Edo than Ibos and I can tell you one thing for sure, Ibos had absolutely nothing to do with Obaseki or PDP winning the last Edo Gubernatorial election.
Wetin consign conductor with drivers license!

Personally, I think this hatred for Igbos is not necessary and it is affecting the rest of the country. I feel that’s why we have a President that is not competent enough. Most people voted for him out of tribal sentiments rather than competence.

How many Kue names exist among the Edo? I'm just asking for enlightenment purposes, as I have not heard any other one apart from Osakue. Can you make a little list, if you can?

But Kwe names are very typical among the Igbo:
Anikwe - If the Earth deity agrees
Uwakwe - If the world agrees
Mbakwe - If the community or town agrees
Ohakwe - If the public agrees
Agbarakwe - if the deity agrees
ezekwe - if the Eze agrees (I don't like translating eze as king, as that is not what it originally meant)
Nzekwe - if the titled man agrees
Umunnakwe - if the kindred agrees
Igbokwe - if the community agrees

And the list just goes on....

Even if we accept the argument that 'osa' was originally derived from the Edoid, it was simply grafted unto a typical Igbo name structure.

Saying that Osakwe was borrowed from the Edoid is like saying Ijesurobo was borrowed from Latin. Ijesu is derived from the Latin name for Jesus, which is Jesu. But it was grafted unto an Edo naming pattern. You can actually observe other Edo names like Osarobo, Oghenerobo and Obarobo, which follow the same pattern. Osakwe follows a demonstrably Igbo name pattern.

How many other Edo names follow the Osakue pattern? It would be pretty telling if there were many Edo people bearing Obakue or Oghenekue for instance, but I don't think there are. (Feel free to correct me.) If other names of that pattern don't exist in Edoid or are not common in Edoid, then it will even be tempting to reach the conclusion that Edo Osakue was influenced by Igbo Osakwe, despite the 'osa' element possibly being originally an Edo loan.

sotall:
Now let's take a deeper look into the name "Osakwe"

Looking at this name, every good student of Nigerian culture and language will recognize the name is of Edoid origin and not igboid.

First the prefix "osa" is mainly used by Edoid groups in their names especially those who speak Edo language and it means God. Hence majority of those in Nigeria whose names begin or end with "osa" are from Edo state or speak an Edoid language.

On the other hand igbos and igboid group uses the prefix "Chi" and "chukwu" in their names as their own prefix and it also means God. So you find many igbo names with like Chidinma, chukwudi, Chinonso etc.

This gives another perspective on the origin of that name. Everything is not arguement, just learn and move on.

enemybulldozer:
The fact remains that you are the confused lying machine here.

First, Ojukwu used what he has (which is his father's wealth and eastern people's money) to fight the war not ijo money. If ijoh has money then why didn't adaka borow make use of it to fight and defend his newly found republic then? why did he allow the republic to fall under 10days only for him to die like a chicken?

Secondly, Ojukwu hire white machineries to help him fight not to make weapons. And the reason behind Ojukwus hiring of white machineries is because, he noticed that the war is longer between biafra and the nigerian state only. the war escalated to world war3 in disguise.

The deadly bomb or missile known as ogbunigwe and rest of the weapons including amoured cars and tanks was manufactured by godian ezekwe and co. Not by any white machinery.

Ojukwu did not fight that war with weapons belonging to the nigerian state because there were little or no weapon left in eastern region then that was why at the early state of the war Ojukwu solders was seen fighting with cutlass and sticks no wonder they say necessity is the mother of invention.

Boro of cursed memory is nothing but a weak sadist that chose to pick up a fight with his brothers instead of his real enemies. Hate and foolishness blinded and led him to his early grave with nothing to show for it. and may I remind you that borow did not fight for ND republic he only fought for ijoh republic.

The lies you're trying so hard to sell to me cannot fly because I am among the people who know that for years now the nigerian state and many propagandists has been working tirelessly to put Igbos in bad light but thank God for internet.

As far as there is no recorded history of war between Ijoh and Igbo simply means that there was never a time ijohs were capturing Igbos as slaves because, it is only when you're defeated in war that such thing can happen. since the history of the world, its only the act of war that can lead to the capture of young males and females even married women to slavery.

Lastly, it is recorded in history that it is only the great Igbos and the binis that fought and gave the british tough time for a whole 32yrs which ijoh no even near.

Rest mr liar!

Tukpa8:
you are confused in putting your lies..

First: ojukwu used Ijaw oil money 💰 in the name of eastern government budget to prosecuted the war.
Ojukwu used Ijaw oil money in the name of eastern government money to hired white machineries to come trained his soldiers how to make weapons and other tactics..

ojukwu used weapons belong to nigeria of eastern to fight the war.

so have you seen how it goes?
Boro who was not even position holder used his own money to fight full country with little arms..
Boro sold his properties to afford the fight.
If Boro had got half of the advantage of criminal ojukwu, nothing could stop niger delta republic.


Now back to the main topic.
Ijaws were never taken as slaves for once as you want to line a lie.

Europeans who came to today nigeria, came through the sea and first met Ijaws.
Ijaws stressed them,,,Ijaws worried them for many years before they finally settled down,,,Ijaws fight them a lot,,,,,infact it took the europeans 100% efforts to defeat and silent the Ijaws.

so because of how the Ijaws disturb them and gave them run of their money,,,the europeans tend to work with the Ijaws and not not by using force.....they do business with Ijaws very well it makes Ijaws to be wealthy at then.

infact, it was the many fights Ijaws gave the british that made them to use indirect rule system in nigeria and not the forceful pattern of french against other africa countries.

The british don't want to experience again in other part of nigeria of what they experienced in meeting the Ijaws,,,,,so they decided to uses negotiation with the Yorubas and northerners and not force..

Some of the business of the europeans with the Ijaws was slave trading..
The reason, it was difficult to for Ijaw to capture Ijaw make it possible on the Igbo side.
So that was how Ijaws initially went to upland and captured Igbos and sold them to the whites...after forceful capturing, it became buying as capturing became difficult, because all Igbos ran to hiding that you see no one to captured......the british really used Ijaws in dirty games..
but, today, I don't think it dirty game.

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) under the leadership of Governor Nyesom Wike; has swept all the 32 seats in Rivers State House of Assembly in a historic landslide victory over any opposition in the state's political history.

The PDP is the incumbent party and among the eighteen political parties that participated in the just concluded State Assembly elections.

The election had earlier been postponed from March 11, to March 18,2023.

The postponement was due to the commission’s inability to promptly commence reconfiguration of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines utilized during the February 25 presidential election to enable their use in the state elections.

INEC was earlier restrained from tampering with the information embedded in the BVAS machines until due inspection was conducted and Certified True Copies (CTC) issued to candidates who are challenging the outcome of the presidential election.

After the conduct of the election on Saturday, March 18, and collation of results in the affected units on Saturday, the PDP has officially won in all the state constituencies, leaving no room for any opposition party in the State Assembly.

The results were announced by the Returning Officers of the 32 constituencies.

Youths in Mbaise, Imo State, have reiterated their support for Samuel Anyanwu, National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as their preferred candidate, abandoning Emeka Ihedioha ahead of the 2023 Imo governorship election.

Reiterating their decision in a statement made available to Peoples Gazette on Monday, the youths accused Mr Ihedioha of “threatening and bribing people” to counter their endorsement of Senator Anyanwu for the Imo governorship.

In the statement signed by ezekwe Chilaka (Ezinihitte Mbaise), Anaele Onuoha (Ahiazu Mbaise) and Tobechukwu Ogbonna (Aboh Mbaise), the youths said Mr Anyanwu was declared the sole candidate for the governorship seat by Mr Ihedioha’s kinsmen.

They accused the former governor and House of Representatives deputy speaker of resorting to media blackmail to denounce the endorsement of Mr Anyanwu, adding that they were “tired of his (Ihedioha) political dominance, greed and selfishness.”

The endorsement comes as the PDP’s governorship ticket continues to cause a divide among party members in the build up to the state’s governorship election.

On January 14, 2020, Mr Ihedioha and the PDP lost the governorship seat to now Governor Hope Uzodimma of the All Progressives Congress (APC), when the Supreme Court declared Mr Uzodimma as the winner of the 2019 governorship election.

OnionBandit:
The same old boring song. We all had no choice. It was the era of massive rigging. PDP got Nigeria by the Ballz then..

Plus, didn't obj pay you back handsomely by spanking ezekwe-silly in the ass severally? The man's regime actually favoured you bitter lots than even the Yorubas.

Creamypie:
Did Ibo not overwhelmingly vote obj? Did Yoruba vote obj? In 2003, did ibis not vote obj too, even when they had ibo presidential candidate?

The Biafra people can’t exchange our freedom over presidential ambition of Peter Obi. Peter Obi should go & rest, keep whatever he have to offer & wait for Biafra. If he think we are joking, when the time come, we will know what Biafra people actually want. No election is a task
