Oga, respect yourself!
There are no minorities in Cross River that exclusively belong to the Igbos. Some of you just sit down to concoct retarded writeups and analysis while ignoring the factual realities of it.

The issue of any South South state or region joining a Biafran nation remains a sole decision of the individuals concerned. Do not under any circumstances seek to forcefully or slyly annex any part of Cross River in particular to the Igbos. If you're seeking a referendum based separation from the Nigerian state, it would amount to a colossal error on your part to seek to force another region to being a part of Biafra.

Some of you talk without verifying issues, have you heard of isobo community in cross rivers state , do you know there are igbo communities in Abi and Yala LGA .pls read about cross rivers state Wikipedia before replying me, igbos don't need you people they only what there people in cross rivers state.

valirex:
This is the problem we keep having with ibos, anytime we think we can make them friends some ibos like you spill rubbish online.

No part of Ẹdo is going to be given out to anybody accept that and have peace else brace up for combat.

I wonder if the last civil war didn't teach some of you a lesson. Tribes in the SS have repeated it severally they don't want to be part of your Biafra. You keep trying to force them, it's just not gonna work.

It's time to start reasoning like an adult and drop your baby antics. Not even your 419 referendum will take place in another man's land. Gosh.


If you go through my last comments on this forum, I have been a strong supporter of the Biafran nation (Igbo nation), but trying to force others to join you is where ibos will make a lot of enemies which is what the Fulani government wants.

Be wise and carefully, no man is the strongest, even Israel which the Igbos believe they are related with gave up lands for peace sake.


It's better the Ibo nation start making allies than enemies, and that starts by respecting your neighbours wish.

well said, igbos should leave the minorities and go for igbo nation that includes igbos in delta, rivers,edo, cross rivers and benue State. If the minorities are interested in Biafra they should fight for it.

why is the govt silent at the fraudulent activities of some insurance company eg Niger insurance. People are just quit over it, why?

Antoeni:
Before you even think of forming alliance with the Biafrans please remember that our Hero Isaac Adaka Boro was sentenced to death by two supposed Igbo men named ( Odumegwu Ojukwu) and ( Aguiyi Ironsi), who were still pleased with the one Nigeria slogan because Boro declared Niger Delta republic. Ironsi the then military head of state, ordered Ojukwu to arrest Isaac Adaka Boro for treason.

Ojukwu who was enjoying the one Nigeria slogan fought against Isaac Adaka Boro using federal might to kill about 150 foot soldiers of Boro ( Ijaw sons remember). Ojukwu got Boro arrested and stripped him naked, paraded him as a criminal and sent him to Lagos where Ironsi charged him to court and convicted him within 2 months and sentenced him to death by hanging for trying to break out from the slogan of one Nigeria Ojukwu was enjoying.

But before Ojukwu and Ironsi could execute their plans of hanging Boro God intervened and there was a counter coup that overthrow Ironsi and was killed. Gowon took over power and declared Isaac Adaka Boro innocent and released him. Then after 15 months later the same Ojukwu who was enjoying the one Nigeria slogan couldn't take it any longer and declared Biafra republic even included the same Ijaw lands in the map of Niger Delta Republic that Boro mapped out.

This angered Isaac Adaka Boro that the same man who tried to kill me for declaring my own Republic is now declaring his own Biafra republic then I will join hands with the federal government of Nigeria to fight against him. That was how Boro and Ken Saro wiwa of Blessed memory joined hands with General Gowon and fought against the Biafra republic.

Before any true Ijaw son or daughter will support the Biafrans who has refused to apologise to our Heroes and are still forcing us to leave Nigeria for another Igbo Nigeria should have a rethink and re-trace their track that a man who has refused you having your own Republic is forcing you to be part of his own Biafra republic. Even as we speak today Those front runners of Biafra republic take the Ijaw man as an inferior citizen the basic reason they have always forced our lands in their supposed Biafra maps.

A land full of milk and honey left behind by our ancestors should not be sold out for a cup of tea.

Long live Niger Delta Republic!

Biafra don't need Niger delta, they only need South South igbos and any other group can join through referendum. Everytime Niger delta pls speak for your ijaw people alone.

0m0nnakoda:
The abandoned property was not initiated by riverine people , where do you get that from?. It was done mostly by Rebisi people who were also the beneficiaries

It is not for you to tell people who they are . Ikwerre say they are not Igbo
All this desperation will not change the fact that the SE is a dot in a circle

mind you ikwerre are not the only igbo group in River State, infact igbos are the largest ethnic group in South South, they are the second largest in delta State after uhrobo, second in Rivers state with 10 LGA ( ikwerre,emuaha,obia kpor,ph,etche, omuma,obigbo, ekpeye, egbema,ogba,opobo and part of bonny) and still in cross rivers and akwa ibom state. Let's not change the topic PH is dominated by different igbo groups in politics, business, entertainment etc tell me one prominent musician from the river rine area

Ebi2233:
The Ijaw National Affairs Commissioner Patrick Erasmus is from Andoni.
The Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide President Peter Timothy Igbifa is from Andoni too.

The Ijaw Youth Council Eastern Zone, Rivers, Akwa-Ibom Aminadokiari (Ndoki). Ijaws, the Chairman IYC Eastern Zone is Ibim Ibiwari from Opobo.
The IYC Chairman Ndoki clan is Samson Belle.
All these people are serving presently.

These are political post , this people don't understand ijaw, infact in bonny and opobo they speak igbo, Andoni don't understand ijaw.

0m0nnakoda:
Well that is not for me to say whether they are Igbos or not. They can speak for themselves Why not call them Igbos ? Why the Igboid trick? They can speak for themselves and have done.

YOU REPEAT ? Who are you and why is your repetition relevant?
You can repeat what you like till Nnamdi Kanu dies it changes NOTHING
The Ikwerre have resoundingly rejected the Igbo identity. Many Times
They did this BEFORE the civil war when they founded Ogbakor Ikwerre and even earlier at the Willinks Commission befor Independence.
They seized Igbo properties after the war yet you persist with this ATTACH BY FORCE agenda

Wikipedia ? Do not make me laugh

If there is one thing Wikipedia highlights it is IGBO DESPERATION

The number of times you folk are editing Wikipedia pages to do with Ikwerre and other groups is pitiable. That is the emotion you deserve. PITY

hahahaha. 1, I'm not a fan of Nnamdi kanu because he included minorities in his biafra which is the highest stupidity, biafra should only be for igbos in South East and South South. 2, Mr Odili and Amaechi have acknowledge the fact they are igbos and many other notable ikwerre,etche, egbema,ekpeye sons and daughters, even ohaneze ndi igbo vice president is from ikwerre. 3, The abandoned property was initiated by river rine people and FG with people like Ken Saro wiwa and the then governor of Rivers State at the head. PH is an igbo city that's the fact

0m0nnakoda:
There is nothing like Igboid people. Another Ignorant remark

The term Igboid was coined by Kay Williamson a linguist to classify languages that belong to a similar cluster. It has nothing to do with people and there is no academic or anthropological classification of peoples as Igboid. Either you are Igbo or you are not
That people speak languages in the same cluster does not make them same or one

Now back to topic. I asked a question what is the basis of your claim? EVerything you are spouting is just your opinion. That is the reality you would like. For you to come and tell us Ogoni are more than Ijaw in Port Harcourt must have some basis
Is Borokiri an Igbo or Ogoni name? What about Abuloma? Is that Ogoni?

Please can you take a minute to reflect on the different between opinions and facts

That you hear Igbo more than any other language is nonsense and fiction .What is the basis?

We hear English more than any other language in many places in Nigeria so what? Does that make us English

It is clear that your capacity for logic is limited by your sentimental inclinations

your long Grammer will not change the fact that the people i mentioned are igbos, you can verify about this groups in Wikipedia, and for ur information kalabari and okrika are not ijaw so those places you mentioned does not belong to ijaw. The two formal governors of rivers state Odili and Amaechi ve all acknowledge the fact they are igbos, finally Ogonis has more LGA than ijaw in Rivers State. pls don't come and start mentioning Andoni, opobo bonny nkorro as ijaw. I repeat ijaw are majority in Bayelsa State only and not Rivers State. That's the fact .

0m0nnakoda:
What is the basis of this claim?

ph city is mostly made up of igboid people (ikwerre, asa ndoki who are indigenous to PH, obia kpor and obigbo LGA) plus other igboid group in Rivers State like etche, omuma,egbema etc and igbo people of South East and anioma. You can't compare there no to ijaw. That's why if you are in PH city you will hear more of igbo language than any language.

franchasng:
You all know the truth and that's why you all spend your whole time hating and analyzing Igbos.



All the 4 most populous Nigerian cities or states, Igbos are the second most populated in that state after the indigenous tribe of that state, it's a fact.


In Lagos, after Yorubas, Igbos are the second most populated tribe in Lagos.


In Kano, after Hausa-Fulanis, Igbos are the second most populous there.


In Oyo, after Yorubas, its Igbos.


In Portharcourt, after Ijaws, its Igbos.


In Kaduna, the same.



But Yorubas are mostly in their home state and Lagos, what does that tell you about the population of Igbos even without relying on fake Nigerian census and statistics


Use your head

in portharcourt after igbos it's ogonis . Ijaw are minority in Rivers State, they are only majority in Bayelsa State

GofuckYourself:
Yes imo state sits on over 3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, largest natural gas find in Africa

Why do we spread hate? Why no sow love. The southeast has more gas than any other African country on earth,not even state but more than countries check NNPC data if you don't believe me.

This is why the country will never be divided because each and every region is important. To all those spreading hate , you only burden your spirits. Hate will begot hate. You will reincarnate as the igbio you hate and those Igbos who spread hate will reincarnate as the Hausa and Yoruba they hate and the cycle will continue.

This is the same fate that befell Israel and Palestine and unfortunately the Nigerians who are e true children on Twima and towing this unfortunate path
.

Good day

some of you are not smart giving out this kind of information to the public, that information should be a top secret for the igbos. That info is one of the reason FG will not allow you to go because the future is gas.

NGpatriot:
Not a fan of this man, but I agree with him, that whole region is unproductive and not viable for any serious economic activity.

This is the reason why generation after generation of people from that part of Nigeria must leave and go to other parts of Nigeria fore their daily bread and survival.

The SE is also too hostile, restless and inhospitable for the people of SE and businesses.

Life is a living hell and the fact that terrorists are now in control of the whole region..

Imagine if business owners like Dangote are in the SE, they are definitely up in flames by now.

The SE even for the people of SE should be a no go area, it's currently a mass refugee area where people are confined and ruled with brutal and violent force, where basic human life rights like freedom of movement and even speech doesn't exist, say the wrong thing for step out of your house at the wrong time means serious beating or instant death.


The SE and the Igbo race are slowly inching off the cliff..


Sad

South East is a creation of Nigeria to divide the igbos. The question should be is igboland viable, including the igboid area in delta,rivers, cross rivers and benue State

Reflect7:
That is not what Kanu said.

''UMUAHIA — THE leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Wednesday, disclosed that the Nigerian Government offered him Biafra Republic while in Prison with only the five South East States as the components parts but he rejected it.

According to him, he rejected because that did not constitute the complete Biafra, saying that he told them that he wanted a Biafra with Rivers and Benue States inclusive.''

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/07/rejected-biafra-5-igbo-states-nnamdi-kanu/

that's indigenous igbos in rivers and benue State, its better FG allow all igboid group to go instead of just the 5 South East state. FG will save more money, at least no More allocation to those area or states

Reflect7:
Why did Kanu reject the 5 Igbo states as Biafra?

What was his long throat doing looking at the Niger Delta, which produces 90% of Nigeria's crude oil?

Don't dodge the question or try to skirt around it.

ANSWER IT.

They don't need Niger delta, they only want 5 State , all igboid group in South South and benue. Then any South South tribe can join them through referendum.

Don't dodge the question or try to skirt around it. They d

htdot:
Yea, these lots only import with nothing to export... They bring nothing to the table.... the fall of naira is as a result of incessant importation.... If they keep on importing without anything to export, how are they going to build their economy since they only import... Nigeria gave them the dollars they use to buy goods in china, thereby making the forex so scarce... The question will be, if they give them biafra with the five states and nigeria govt decided to build the Trump wall and declare no flight zone, how will they able to survive since they cant leave their five states or enter.

stop playing politics there are igbos in South South

SlyDev:
They can't. Biafra is a ruse just to blackmail Nigeria to give them preferential treatment. Igboland will crumble the first 5 years of their independence, they will be violently removed from the north and west. They will be cut off from Cameroon due to them supporting secessionist against Cameroon Govt, they will be cut off from Ghana, Togo and Benin (the only reason they have little respect there despite their atrocities is because of Yoruba, with Yoruba influence, they will be cut off.

So tell me how they will survive without market to sell? They have the worst soil, they mostly import rather than export.


I just don't know how they will prefer Biafra unless me and you know its just blackmailing.

to be honest Nigeria cannot survive without the igbos that's why we can't let them go. Imagine Nigeria without 5 eastern state, delta north, igbo's in Rivers and igbo's in other South South state. Live politics we no those people are igbos

JohnSin97:
If we give this people their 5 state biafra with border walls and strict immigration policies they wouldn't survive a year before they go cannibal on each other.

Nigerians should stop playing politics, there are igbo's in South South. If you want igbo's to go let all of them go. So we can ve a better Nigeria.

JohnSin97:
If I where buhari I'd get them their 5 state biafra and fence them in. The one's in Lagos would pay high taxes.

what of the igbo's in South South.

Bonny is a mixture of igbo and ijaw simple. The decendance of the igbo merchants in those days are igbos

Abohboy:
Wider streets allows for space to park cars added to that car parks could be built into the buildings without a problem, Nigeria needs to build lots of houses but save land the solution is highrises as Onitsha has done.

in developed countries people don't park cars in the street. High rise building is ok but with adequate planning to give room for other amenities. Do you know in Onitsha even some hotels don't have parking space and i wonder who approved sure building in the first place.

High rise building without car park...

Uchasa:
Your theory makes no sense. Name is of no way of measuring someone's ethnicity, rather their culture and history.
We Ikwerres have a lot of culture similarities with people from Southern Igbo land(Abia and Imo states), but why we don't regard ourselves as Igbo is due to our history. The same can't be said of Aniomas, they are both Igbos by culture and history. I find it hard to differentiate an Anioma man from an Anambra man, that's to show you the similarities.
Moreover, that name "Ojo" is a name native to people of Eastern Abia State, the pronounciation is different from the Yoruba "Ojo."
Amaechi's Rotimi is an adopted name. "Amaechi" is his real name because it's an Ikwerre name.
We should all know our history in this country.

ikwerre has so many history, some are from Awka and orlu axis while some are from Arochukwu like aro isiokpo some from kalabari and ndoki while some are from ogba and benin. Ikwerre does not have one history.

Captain8:
shut up and stop lying to things far older than you........ there is a saying in Ijaw......"Ijaw wei, Ijaw wei ominigha".....meaning Ijaw man is not Ijaw man slave..... never..except both will perished together......

so who captured and sold ijaw slaves in guyana ? We're learning... Or was it the Arochukwu slave traders.

Buckeyemedia1:
Only a foolish tribe will sell its own people, thereby weakening the sovereignty against attacks from enemy neighbors. Mumus the riverine people sold the people of the interior as slaves.

ijaw equally sold ijaw people. Read about Berbice creole dutch in Guyana

Pls can someone tell me what happened to the captured slaves in bonny when slave trade was abolished, were dey the slaves go to? What happened to their children?

Some of those countries has historical relationship with Nigeria (igbo, ibo, eboe, ibu) .read about slave trade.

The court should also return Obigbo LGA to Abia state

Niger insurance plc is the worst insurance company in the world. They don't pay, for more than 4 yrs now the ve refused to pay me my savings

Trash... The girl nah greedy criminal

Asgard73:


If this post is not ignorance ... then is careless

...... and na human being type this with crazy arrogance

educate me on the true origin of ika

Founded by Benin people but along the line igbos came and dominated them that's why their language changed to something similar to igbo. The igbos who came to ika then where not organized, they simply came for hunting, biz, farming or some who were barnished from their village in igboland. Benin settlers kept their culture because they were organized coming from an organized society like Benin kingdom eg kingship, dressing and other traditions. The same thing happened in Bonny , they are ijaw but along the line igbos dominated them like the aro people , ndoki people and other igbo slave who did not have anywhere to go after the end of slave trade.
