Chimaraymond455: Igbo aggresion on Niger Delta Land is what is delaying everyone exit. Igbos have nowhere they are going and have lost appetite since realization that Biafra is South East only. Yoruba Nation will lead all to break out of Nigeria. |

Galaxyowerri:1. Anioma recorded the highest percentage of YES Votes 97% in the 1963 Midwest Referendum having rejected a choice of joining Eastern Nigeria. 2. Ojukwu invaded the Midwest with the full powers of a war dictator but even he had the good sence to leave Anioma out of the Midwest. When he finally annoced the shorth live Republic of Benin, he left Anioma in the Midwest. 3. Anioma people no dey chop human beings.

The cold-blooded massacres in Midwest were not monopolised by the federal troops only. In a US confidential report of 15 October 1967 recorded that, “as the Biafrans retreated from Benin to Agbor, they killed all the men, women and children they could find who were not Igbos. The town of Abudu, one of the larger places between Agbor and Benin lost virtually of its population with the exception of a small proportion that fled into the bush.” The British expatriate teacher, Anthony Charles Stephens was killed there when he refused to surrender his car to the retreating Biafran forces. Father Coleman an Irish SSMA priest said before Biafran troops left Agbor “without a fight” they killed off most of “non-Ibo men, women and children.” https://therepublicannews.net/2017/05/09/u-s-classified-files-reveal-untold-story-of-ojukwu-biafra-by-americans-others/

Risentouch:Why do you have to reconcile them? The UN says their must be be NO DISPUTES, AMBIGUITIES & COUNTERCLAIMS about territories being incorporated into new nations. That is the very reason we say the idea of any inch of the Niger Delta being inside Biafra is ZERO. Only nairaland children hallucinate about Delta Igbo. |
No Igbo outside of this cannibal map. Follow the science of cultural anthropology. It is no an easy decision for a culture decide to chop human beings. Those who clearly chose not to do so obviously are not Igbo.

No South East Governor Is Supporting Igbo Presidential Candidates In Any Party The good this about politics is that politicians quickly run out of funds and become desperate for a return to power to recoup their losses. Igbo politicians are driven to where the money is. 1-Governor Ikpeazu is supporting Atiku/Wike 2. Governor Ugwuanyi is supporting Atiku. 3-Governor Hope Uzodinma and Orji Uzor kalu are supporting Senator Ahmed Lawan. 4-Senator Ararume is supporting Alhaji Rotimi Amaechi. 5-Emeka Ihedioha is supporting Governor Tambuwal. No South east Governor is supporting Igbo Presidential candidates in all the parties. Is that how to engage in President of south east extraction pursuit? Is that why the south east governors forum cannot reconvene? Who is actually spearheading the Igbo Presidency project? |

Sion47:Igbo marry others but others would not marry them. That willingness of Igbo to marry merrily others confirms their inferior position. As bad as Nigeria identity is, Igbo would still rather stick with it because it gives them cover without which Igbo will have to stand alone with its own identity. That might not be pretty. |
Sion47:You know you are the inferior tribe when you are the least desired in marriage. |
aribisala0:They have gotten used to the endless abuse and humiliation because Igbo lack bargaining power and pride. Igbo has nothing that anyone want other than to get away from them. Ikenga Republic is their only redemption but they will try to spin this humiliation as a chestbeating victory or invade Asaba peoples sensibilities by advancing Biafra on them. |
History555:Foolish Igbo think they can take control of Niger Delta by mass psychological manipulations, the type that is humanly impossible most especially when those you want to dominate see you as inferior. Igbo are in denial of how the rest of the world perceive them. |
ATTENTION TONY NNAJI & NINAS: THERE IS NOTHING CALLED THE LOWER NIGER. LOWER NIGER IS A DESPERATE IGBO ATTACH BY FORCE TO STEAL NIGER DELTA LAND. THE NIGER DELTA WILL STAND AS REPUBLIC ON ITS OWN. |
StrongandMighty:What type of logic runs the Igbo brain? Ned Nwoko, one person says he is Igbo and as such all Anioma is Igbo. The very next person from that same clan sitting next to Nwoko will say he is not Igbo. What about the numerous other nationalities all intricately woven in amongst each other in Anioma, many whose language are not even remote;y Igbo. Les than 3% of the people of Anioma will claim Igbo otherwise you would have seen them opening threads to defend their heritage. No, instead everyone wants to get away from Yeebos. |

History/Origin of Agbor Agbor is the biggest and the most cosmopolitan city of the lka nation. The historic origin of Agbor kingdom as we stated earlier has different angles. Some writers trace the origin of Agbor to the reign of Oba Ewedo of Benin. According to this perspective - the Oba had twin sons named Edo and Ogugunagbon. Both were subjected to a kind of lucky dip in order to pick a successor to Oba Ewedo. Ogugunagbon was unlucky to choose the wrong box and had to leave Benin with throng of his supporters to a new location leading to his founding of Agbor. However, Prince Adams Gbenoba in his book "The History and Culture of Agbor (Agbon) Kingdom" agrees with the Benin origin but adds another angle: "Without doubt, beyond myths and legends by way of oral tradition, no accounts can be more authentic than the neutral, historical accounts of colonial travelers, explorers and administrators. Mr. J. Macrae-Simpson on page 5 of his "1935 INTELLIGENCE REPORT ON THE AGBOR CLAN IN THE AGBOR DISTRICT' recorded thus: "Talbet, on page 168 of Volume 1 of Southern Nigeria", quotes an extract from the chronicle of the Dutch historian-traveller Henrik Nyendael, which seems to be a description of the exodus from Benin of the founder of Agbor Clan: "After this barbarity, the King aIso found a third manthat stood on hisway, who, being universally beloved,was timely warned ...and accordingly took his flight, accompanied by three-fourths of the inhabitants of the town. The King caused the fugitives to be pursued.. Then the fugitives, thoroughly incensed and flushed, came directly to the City, which they plundered and pillaged, sparing no place but the King's Court; after which he returned, but incessantly continued to rob the inhabitants of Great Benin, till at last a peace was concluded ... He lives two or three days' journey from Benin, where he keeps at Agbor as great a Court and State as the King...".Talbet goes on to say that of the two families that left Benin at this time (shortly before Nyandael's visit in 1702), one settled at Agbor while the other went to Obior, another Clan in the Agbor District. Of the same Obior family came also the ancestors of Onitsha-Mili (the Onitsha Waterside of today). It is a tradition of the Obior people, and indeed of most of the Clans between them and the Niger, and also of Onitsha itself, that their tribe was founded by Chima a refugee from Benin City...The story is that Chima?, when driven from Benin, traveled eastwards towards the Niger, which he eventually crossed, and settled in Onitsha. There he begat nine children, of which eight died, leaving him with a daughter called Owuwu. Believing that the loss of his children was caused by witchcraft, he left Onitsha and returning to Agbor, long existing country, settled at Osarra (present day Ozanogogo- previously called Ozarra- in Agbor Kingdom), where one of the quarters to this day bears the name of his sole remaining child, Owuwu. Similarly Onyekpeze F. A, a foremost writer of lka history in his book ·An outline of the Culture & Socio-Economic Interest of the Ika Nation emphasizes this trend of the Benin factor in the formation of Agbor: One factor is that the place names of Agbor and Its outlying settlements are Bini words. Another factor which buttresses Agbor claim to Bini origin is that the villages in Agbor Town viz, lghogbe, Olihe, Ogbeisere, Ohumere, Ehaikpen, Ogbesogban and Ogbeiwaise, etc. are a replica of the villages in Benin City. In addition, even the lhogbes of Agbor like the lghogbes of Benin City, claim lfe origin and their ancestors are believed to have accompanied Prince Oromiyan from lfeto Benin to establish the present monarchy. The Agbor titleship, Uzaman, lhaime, Odlonwere and Ehaivbo, and its system of government are similar to those of Benin. Furthermore, inAgbor's oral tradition, the king of Agborwas popularly known as Ogle Agbon, meaning the ruler of the whole world. The question which arises is, when did the title of the ruler of Agbor change from Ogle to Obi of Agbor? One can therefore acceptthe Bini oral tradition that the rulers of lka now called Obis were Ogies as other rulers or Chiefs or Oba's representatives in Benin Division. It may be that the rulers of lka, especially the ruler of Agbor regarded Ogle as belittling and wanted a more prestigious title, especially after successfully severing political relationship with Benin following the deportation of Oba Ovoramwen in 1898. Despite these different views Agbor continues to wax stronger with a rich cultura Iheritage. 1.

system21:No one hates you. No one wants to live in the same house with you. Igbos don't like their home and as such have no where to go. Igbo and Fulani are NORMADS. Igbos and Fulani are too attached to One Nigeria. Igbos don't want Biafra. Yoruba Nation it is that will break up Nigeria. Soon. |
Mooh247:It was posted by a member on my class platform who forwarded it from where I do not know and I too shared it to incredible responses. |
GerogeI:So how do you explain this map? All Niger Delta Igboid speaking are outside this map. Culture is the most powerful indicator of who you are and where you are from. To be strongly outside this cannibal map is enough proof for anthropologist to conclude these are different peoples.

Mooh247:This your write up is so on target. Someone shared it on a whatsapp platform and it went a little virile. The more you assist an Ibo man the more he resents and envy you. By Mooh247 @Nairaland |
Mooh247:I was working for their so call Peter Obi, not for anything other than to show goodwill and be charitable but I am starting to see this people as a real problem. They are irredeemable. That thread on Agbor flipped me completely. There is an Agbor person beside me seething with such anger and loathing for Igbos because of that silly post. The facts are clear to all but Igbos. They have become too toxic. I don't want to carry the same passport with them. I don't want to be in the same country with them. |

Asaba Man Responds On Facebook To Asaba Is Igbo Claims Asaba Inlaw: "In This Whole World You Couldn’t Find Anyone To Marry But An Igbo" Short story: One of my earliest and most persistent memories is this - near my village, 1 kilometer from Asaba, was a camp where people lived. Who are they I asked - “Wa bu Ndigbo” I was told. Translation: “They are Igbos”. I was confused. Aren’t we Igbos, but I said nothing. Another occasion I heard some commotion in the direction of the camp. Oh don’t be worried I was told. They are Igbos. Again so thought but we are igbos! Fast forward 3 decades. A friend of mine from Aba who married from Asaba, over a beer told me “I can’t get over Asaba people. During my native law, my wife’s people kept abusing her in the same language I spoke. They kept saying ‘so in this whole world, you couldn’t find anyone to marry but an Igbo?’” These are true accounts. People from my area… even the indigenes of ONITSHA (I’ve been told) consider themselves Not Igbo. I grew up seeing my people refer to others as “Those Igbo people”. I have just learnt that the phrase “Igbo enwere Eze” was coined by core Igbos to separate themselves from the Onitsha indigenes… Following that logic, Asaba nwere eze .... kedụ ka ọ ga-esi bụrụ igbo? ka anyi biri n’udo nwanne m nwoke m zuru ikpe m It’s not an issue to be swept under the carpet. We need to consider it seriously. Just because everyone in America speaks English doesn’t change their ancestry (some are of German, Italian, Russian, African, Chinese ancestry...). Ancestry can only be determined scientifically by DNA analysis. My sister discovered she has ancestors from Mali, Senega... of course!! The river Niger flows through those nations before it passes the shores of my village which sits on the West Bank of the Niger net Asaba. Bottom line, you cannot teach a man how to write with his left hand in old age. The real issue is why so many Igbo speaking people reject the idea they’re Igbo. (Like some Egyptians in an interview I watched - who can’t understand why they’re considered Africans at all!). Let’s have an academic discussion why! We may learn valuable lessons. ��♂️� Good morning. *****The heavy cannibal lines on below map indicate the limits of Igbo land and culture. All who fall outside the cannibal line are not Igbos.
