We are all Biafrans, but history is repeating itself upside down what happened with IPOB is second Biafran war, most times becuase I have many friends whom I used to jokingly call Biafran heads, I tell them we need a change of strategy and ask ourselves really in solitude, is Biafra the fastest way out of these whole Choas and are we the one in most need of Nigeria's breakup.

The War Started with IPOB having majority of the Biafran territories, first was PH, after sometimes PH fell to federal troops, second was Imo and after sometimes Imo fell to national troops, Enugu had never been a heated battle ground becuase Biafran strategy was not really about dividing Nigeria otherwise the biggest offensive could have been stationed in Enugu, Nsukka to be more precise.

The battle for Onitsha had always been the fiercest, I read about the 8 months battle at one time Biafran fighters blew up the Niger Bridge, facts remains that some Biafrans like us would always respect the promise of our parents, "Never take up arms against the Federal troops" the words federal is in bold but they did not promise to not take up arms at all.

What you seen in the past few days is the repeat of the battle for Onitsha and not only have Onitsha fallen to federal troops it could as well fall to the broom party.

But all is well ladies and gentlemen all is well, we are waiting for Araba to try to secede and we are waiting for Oduduwa to try to secede, that's when you will see that the devil among us are taking some naps,

My heart goes out to aggrieved Biafrans it doesn't feel good to be bullied, not listened to even when you are the one chocking and it do feel like no one is watching, apparently God is watching and don't give up he who laughs last laughs best.

I was in secondary school in 1997 and i did history ....i didnt even have a choice in my school it was compulsory for all art students while i have friends in other school that never did history....in some schools you have a choice of chosing either government or history.
Now let me tell you what really happened....in recent years some people for political reasons started peddling the lies that history was removed from secondary school curriculum so the new generation will not know history especially the civil war history.....history was never removed, students obviously preferred government to history coupled with low manpower....many schools simply stopped offering it.
i was only replying to the insinuation that it was an Apc thing

Your kind assistance will be highly appreciated!

what will happen in the case of divorce if the man did not pay bride price? Or if the parents of the girl accepted only drinks and other stuff to assist the man, so in this case what should be returned?
Am here to learn

ofordegreat:



"Remarry" as you ascribed to the man without severing the first marriage is not correct (especially if he had a court marriage). However, the Igbo tradition just as in some other tribes permits a man well to do to marry more than one wife (though with the full consent of the first wife). Therefore, in the case of Mazi Kalu Ikeagwu he cannot "remarry" until the embattled marriage is formally severed inline with customary law of the land.

This topic is crucial for the younger generation who know little or nothing about culture/tradition. There are things that cannot just be wished away. If you do not know endeavour to ask questions.

So what happened to Tonto dikeh case? She refused the father access to his son

pepperdemzombie:

That's why Davido refused to marry Chioma, He saw the handwriting on the wall earlier. They will now use it as a trap that you won't have access to the child if you collect back the bride price you paid.
Sense/Wisdom no go kill una!

pepperdemzombie:

That's why they kill themselves over inheritance, most of them are not the legitimate ones to inherit, and they are always greedy.
Just imagine the son your woman brought from outside to be older than your legitimate daughters or you eventually don't have a son.
You die, he inherits you, the mother marries another man, he inherits mother and son plus your properties while your legitimate daughters eat leftovers or nothing.

abouzaid:
the return of the bride price have a symbolic meaning in Igbo culture rather than the value of the money, (it a chump change), unless that bride price is returned, they're still legally married by Igbo customary law and any child that she conceived from another man must be accepted and provided for by the man including having a claim to the man's inheritance whether the husband likes it or not, if her father refuse to return the money, the husband must announce that he had forfeited the money to the attention of both families.

I entered Jos from KD very late years ago and our bus stopped at Bauchi Road. My friend I called to pick me up from the park was very reluctant and explained this unwritten understanding to me.

nku5:
Terrible. But how did the police conclude that the murderers are Irigwe youths? I have my suspicions because there is an unwritten agreement since the major crisis that Muslims generally occupy Jos North while Christians hold Jos South.

Both sides have generally kept to the agreement ever since.

Rozcol:
The mom said so and I believe her,so what are you saying

Rozcol:
Let's always listen to both sides before passing judgement,if there's no bride price then there's no marriage that's the bitter truth.Tina has been unmarried all her life until recently when she legally got married to the pastor,she was just cohabiting with Ben her former partner (boyfriend). Most local men(especially Ijaw men) are fund of doing that rubbish, they will cohabit with women and bear several children but no bride price.I Stan Tina gidigbam.

She explained that her daughter's first husband, Bright Ben, didn't pay bride price when he married her daughter 12 years ago, despite doing the traditional marriage and church wedding.

ARE YOU A BIAFRAN?
Those who arrested and sentenced Isaac Adaka Boro to death for declaring Niger Delta Republic were neither Hausa-Fulanis nor Yorubas but two supposed brothers of his and Biafrans named Odumegwu Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi who were still on the side of Gambaris and still trying to please them as at then. For declaring Niger-Delta Republic Ironsi, the then military head of state, ordered Ojukwu to get Isaac Boro arrested for treason.
Ojukwu, in an attempt to please Gambaris, fought Isaac Boro for 14 days within which he used federal might of “one-Nigeria” to kill 150 soldiers loyal to Isaac Boro, caught Isaac Boro, stripped him naked and sent him over to Lagos where Ironsi charged him to court and within just 2 months got him convicted, at the Supreme Court, of treasonable felony of trying to break away from Azikiwe’s one Nigeria, got him sentenced to death by hanging. While Ironsi​ and Ojukwu did all that to Isaac Boro​, they left untouched their own Igbo brother soldiers who planned a coup with which they killed Innocent Hausas, Yorubas, Niger Deltans, Middle belters leaving Igbo politicians unharmed despite they, like Zik and Okpara, were part and parcel of the corrupt Balewa government.
However, before Ojukwu and Ironsi could execute their sentence on Isaac Boro God intervened and the counter coup happened. Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over declared Isaac Boro innocent and released him. But just fifteen months later Ojukwu too declared Biafra Republic due to the way Igbos were being killed in the North. In declaring Biafra, rather than first apologise to Isaac Boro for what he earlier did to him and then ask for his cooperation in fighting to realize the Biafra dream, Ojukwu did nothing like that but without consulting Boro at all went as far as arrogantly including in his Biafra map the very Niger Delta areas which Isaac Boro earlier tried to pull out of Nigeria and which he (Ojukwu) nearly killed him for.
This angered Isaac Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa who both pledged support for Gowon in order to teach Ojukwu a bitter lesson for his arrogance and dishonesty. That was why Isaac Boro and Saro Wiwa fought on the side of Gowon during the war. Naturally Isaac Boro couldn’t have come out of prison to join the Ojukwu who jailed him and fight against the Gowon who released him. It would have been absurd. No rational human being does that.
This is the truth of what happened and which Igbos hate to hear but prefer to blame everyone else as if they themselves were 100℅ innocent.
Igbos must learn to say the truth because if the Biafra/Niger Delta Republic they now seek is founded on lies and deliberate falsehood, like Nigeria, it will not stand but will soon become a failed state like Nigeria. We can’t leave Nigeria for another Nigeria.
But we however know that Igbos allergy to truth is incurable, therefore Niger-Delta states will never be part of Biafra
