I will like to believe that my Odi Ora Mma of Biafra has gone a lil senile. He is an old man so no vex lol. smdh!!!!!

IBB by now should be in jail cooling his heels. Ojukwu honestly has gone mad oo. He needs to just leave politics alone.
Lets be honest tho, what does Ojukwu's misguided foolish support for IBB got to do with the Igbo? How does his support equate betrayal or selling us out? What crimes did IBB commit against the Igbo in particular? My issue with IBB is his illegal annulment of MKO Abiola's election. *both were actually business partners*

On the real tho. Ojukwu did what any brave man would have done for his people. He didn't take us to war. We the Eastern people chose to declare ourselves Biafrans because of the callousness of Nigerians and their government. The Eastern Assembly gave the command and Ojukwu as a military governor accepted to lead. What did Nigerians expect him to do after the war? Stay back so they can slaughter him like they did Ironsi & Fajuyi and inflict more psychological trauma on Biafrans and the Igbo in particular? Will he then become the heroes of Nigerians if he presented them his head to be sacrificed? Will you people still villify him if Biafra won its independence or is he to you a villain because we lost a war? If you were in his shoes what would you have done better? Before you crucify him for the war lets go after Danjuma, late Mohammed, Obasanjo, late Awolowo, Adekunle, Gowon and the countless Nigerian military officers who committed genocides on us from Kaduna to Biafra then come back and ask for Ojukwu's head. *mcheww* If the mass extermination of the Ijaw, Efik, Igbo didn't occur and Eastern region wasn't balkanized Biafra wouldn't have been born so if you want to criticize him focus on his STUPID support of IBB not his actions during the war coz honestly the war was brought upon us and he, Effiong, Opugo, Kogbara, Achuzia rose to the occation to defend our region against any further onslaught not hide their tails n btwn their legs regardless of their many blunders.

As long as u don't we'll be cool.

Two retarded tribal simpletons.

Seriously @ ezeuche

Please the family is right. What blessing Ezeuche?

Majority of Nigerians voted for Abiola hence it was wrong to annul the election.

I am proudly Oka and Aro but still see myself as Igbo see any Ngwa, Nnewi, Nkalagu, Anioma person as my brother.

Chinyen, u have failed to give any credible reason to why Ngwa alone deserves a state outside of Abia. All u have done is talk about ur Ngwaness bla bla bla. Well I feel my Oka ness, Aro manticness but Aro and Oka don't need a state of their own. We don't need the history lessons. No doubt the Ngwa a great people too but not special enough to balkanize Igbo land all in the name of pleasing a few greedy men in ur land whipping up clannish sentiments. This is not 1500 AD so get with the program.

Sleezy,
Stop derailing threads

Olanajim,
Dude shut ur trap. We know who is Igbo and who is not. What non Igbo group are u talking about? Check ur damn self.

Ngwa is not an ethnic group and can never qualify as one okay. My aunt is Ngwa and married to an Ngwa. I still haven't seen anything about them that makes em an ethnic group different from mine. The relatives who are from a distinct ethnic group are the ones who are Ijaw, Yoruba, Itsekiri, Efik-Ibibio, and even some Hausa.

What you see within the Ngwa that qualifies them as an ethnic nation is the samething I see within the Oka, Aro, and Ajali people. Oka and Aro-Ajali people are clearly different just like the Ngwa but they are no ethnic nations. They are tribes. Ngwa is a tribe whether u like it or not. Imagine asking for some peanut sized state that will be nothing but the size of Alief in Houston. *mcheeww* Ridiculous.

Of what use will Aba state be? How does that benefit the larger Igbo populace? I see no benefits except benefits for greedy unintelligent village champions looking for easy way to get political limelight and money which won't get them anywhere. Ngwa dialect can be learned within a month just like other dialects so that does not qualify what u speak as a language at all. It took me a montha to understand Bende dialect without asking questions so I know Ngwa is no exception. You act like Ngwa dialect to other dialects is like French and Arabic.
The emergence of Aba state will the support of the larger Igbo populace so the sooner you quit thinking there is something special about you the better. The Anioma agitation needs the support of the larger Igbo populace and even the minroty among them who thought that it was fashionaable to deny the Igbo have come to realize that. The Ikwerre who have the same attitude have learned to slow it down hence they were able to get Amaechi to become governor in Rivers state for the 1st time even though they are the largest grouop in Rivers state.

Gowon created those states to balkanize and weaken easterners so i find is puzzling that people like chinyen areadvocating the same crap. those ngwa ppl advocating aba state are simply greedy and are too lazy to compete with their fellow igbos hence they think that whipping up clannish sentimenta is the way to go. elechi amadi from ikwerre is a good example of an igbo unable to compete with other heavyweights hence he turned into a village champion. if i have the power there will be only one igbo state or eastern region and the towns can have mayors so everyone including the ngwa, ikwerre and other clannish igbos can have their lil kingdoms.chinyen,why would you feel uncomfortable with having one igbo leader? all we need are checks and balances tho.

Chinyen,ngwa deserves no aba state right now. what is the excuse for your silly and misguided agitation? are u the only unique group of igbo around? the quicker we nip this nonsense in a bud the better. the people who deserve a state of their own or if not, to be merged with another igbo state are the anioma for obvious the obvious reasons not aba just because your overly clannish behinds see anything non-ngwa as not worthy enough to deal with. Instead of coming together you are promoting division all in the name of "i am pure ngwa". Do you think the rest of us are not aware of our uniqueness within the larger Igbo community? whether the term became widely fashionable to use to describe is nothing because it did not stop igbo groups from interacting. the aro settled in many parts of igbo land, ibibio land coz they are related to them. Amaobia is a town made up different igbo clans in anambra state.

Eeeewwwwww lol

Ika bu Igbo kpomkwem.

Isoko bu Urhobo.

Stop dragging the Isoko into ur mess and that foolish Isoko man will get a beat down trust me.
Beaf is Isoko and has no problem identifying with Urhobo. Yeye man.

Cool Igbo mma mma nu!

Arochukwu, Abiriba are a mix of Igbo, Efik-Ibibio groups I don't see them saying we are only Aro. They say Igbo only or Igbo and Efik-Ibibio.

Ika areas like Igbanke got the mix of both Igbo (dominant) and Bini heritage. They are Igbo and can also claim both Igbo and Bini. Its that simple.

Isoko is Urhobo.
Itsekiri can't deny their Yoruba heritage hence they attend Afenifere meetings

Sonya,
Iwu isi ede. When ppl say Ika-Igbo, Aro-Igbo, Ikwerre-Igbo, Enugu-Igbo they are simply stating what part of Igbo land the ppl are from.

Hausa-Fulani is not said the same way. People only say it coz both groups have intermarried so much there isn't much difference.

EzeUche,
Isn't Aro lacking some needed developments?

I was a kid when the occured but i could still remember the euphoria but also non-challant attitude towards it. I wish they succeeded.

Gbam!

Lol madness. glad they caught the douche bag.

Naw these killings have been going on since 1950s not 1985 unless u are only remembering the 80s coz its between middlebelt and north.

Bros i might reside in tx but i once lived in nigeria and have experienced what they are going through well well so please don't u dictate to me when to state my own opinion or not. understand?

Lord i wish my people were able to achieve biafra so we won't be bothered with these bloodthirsty freaks.

Some naija people and their shameledd psychophancy. lol Jonathan is no miracle man and so called improvement should be a reason to put him on some high pedestol. In a modern nation power supply should be available 24/7 .as long as u pay ur bill. Why some of y'all get easily impressed coz ur light is on for 1 or 2 extra hours is laughable and shameful. Let him give 24 hour light then if u like u can even dash him ur mothers to kpansh. Isn't that his job sef? Why all the bootlicking?
