So Onitsha was the second most populated city after Kano.

Until it was stripped of everything but it's market after the war.

City still thriving!

Doesn't actually mean Onitsha city or metropolis. That Onitsha covers both Enugu, Anambra and parts of Imo states.
The figures however confirms that Igbos have always had the biggest population in Southern Nigeria. Only Onitsha and Owerri provinces are more than 3 million. Igbos in Ogoja and Benin provinces have not been added. Igbo population as at then could be up to 3.6million.

their hate for other Africans are so famous that it has appeared in different articles, it's not a new thing.

Why do Somalis try to distance themselves from other Africans ...

Listen, you're not knowledgeable to discuss this topic. All these group of people treat people from Nigeria differently unless you begin to act like a primitive man. Is it in looks, physique or economic achievement that they can compare to us?

Astark:
I just don't care, we are always refer as Nigerians and not by our tribe.

I've seen igbo and other southern ethnic lust after them.

Only an Igbo-wannabe will do that. A real nwafo will never condescend to such. Making money is more enticing and seductive.

Astark:
I just say Nigerian men because I've seen most yoruba and igbo lust over them and the women replies are mostly like this.

"Why are Nigerian men so creepy"
"These jareed apes think we will leave our men for them"
"Nigerian men should stop fetish of habisha women"
"Stick to your fellow apes"

Certainly not Igbo men.

mykymyk101:
Last year i said hidden creatures will come out, now its happening.
2020 is " Game Over Year" or End Game, As TIME will reveal all truth. Just because the so called elites wants to still be in power by still circulating the old lies their greed wont let them disclose that more advanced and intelligent life have discovered us.

5G triggered coronavirus.

A world built on lies.

Lol. How can radiation trigger virus infestation? Black man.

MetaPhysical:
It depends on the bounty. If its just 1million naira, he is cheap value....not worth risking for.

Thanks for exposing your hunger and greed. Your motivation is certainly not patriotism. Anyway, ask them to place a huge value after which you can assemble your group and come. You'll be skinned alive.

Jack500:
I pray so o.

But some people will be sad about this projection, anything to cripple Nigeria is what make them happy.

Anyone who takes BBC serious is wasting his time. Without critical infrastructures, development will only remain a dream. This Nigeria even next 50yrs can never have steady power supply. How then can they have industries and join even the first 30 economies of the world? BBC are only massaging ego to aid the continue milking of the contraption. Aljazeera give more news on the happenings in the contraption than them and I'll believe them any day over BBC. BBC... British Bi-partisan Corporation.

RemoveKebab:
"Ibos are noise makers, no substance"....abacha was indeed right as well

IDIAT

The guy you quoted is not Igbos; he's fulani. Don't mind his antics. He's deceitful.

obiekunie2:
thank you nwanne. i failed to notice the evil intent of the 1diota.

av corrected my comment - i would av don that immediately but i got banned.

No qualms.

MetaPhysical:
How much bounty is on this fugitive head gaan na? Me i ready to bankroll his seizure and return. I want to see how that P-Branch will foil his abduction. What nonesense!

What's stopping? Why not be patriotic and go hunt him?

May fulanis continue to waste the fools that have failed to realize the purpose of the boko haram campaign. I have no pity for fools. They're still giving out enrolment forms. Fools hurry up to your unceremonious death while the fulanis amass wealth at your expense. Death to the evil contraption.

emekan:
My wife just made a valid point. The explosion must have been caused by a small meteorite which is debris from a larger one. Google it, there is a large asteroid flying past earth today. Little meteorites accompanying it might have hit Akure. How coincidental. Wow!! � �

You believed her?

You need to understand Dynamics at play. What does Umuezekoha and Ebonyi people bring to the Igbo table? In a world motivated by financial and material gains, who are the Ebonyians and ndi-Umuezekoha and what are they contributing, except brotherhood.

If SS Igboid ethnicities with oil and gas and placed in strategic locations dey form hard to get, people living in forgotten bushes and mountainous regions also want to form? Guy abeg relax, Nigeria is a crazy place and every ethnicity will do what it takes to milk Nigeria of resources. Takes Umuezekoha from Benue and put them in Bonny and see how them go dey pose, dey form for everybody.

Abeg IPOB, make una carry una wahala dey go.

Lol. Onyeara. You should have it at the back of your mind that that particular chick forming hard to get is always disgraced after enduring all her shit. Such awaits all of you who think you're in the spotlight at the moment. On an average level, most Igbos from SE live better lives than you from SS and Rivers particularly. Until you guys realize that our extending of the hand of brotherhood is based purely on ethnic relationship and not for any economic gains, you'll continue to shoot yourselves in the feet. You find it so easy to insult us and even mock us simply because of our fraternity with you. You can see that some of us are starting reject your foolishness and decided to take it up with you. You stand no chance.

pazienza:
Oil is not so lucrative these days, are they?
All riverine Igboid groups are landlocked and have no real access to the Sea, so they will not bring in the real money spinner, ie offshore oil wells to Ndiigbo if we accept them.
Ikwerre in particular don't seem to have that much oil wells , you are dependent on Ijaw offshore oil derivation. Offshore is the main deal and why Akwa ibom is currently the highest oil producing state in Nigeria. If Ijaws get oil Rivers state which would eventually happen, they will corner all the current Offshore oil derivation from Rivers state, and whatever is remaining of Rivers state will be like Abia or Imo, as far as oil derivation is involved.


Umezekhoha and Ebonyi brings arable lands, hardworking populace and most importantly, allegiance and solidarity to Ndiigbo.
They bring freshness, air of kinship, and who knows what new mineral resources that would be found there tomorrow. Ebonyi produce large quantity of limestone which is essential in building and infrastructure. Go to Abakaliki, they are making Igbos proud there. With the vast fertile lands of Ebonyi, we can be another Netherlands in terms of agriculture.
Ebonyi has 13LGAs, gives us three more voices in terms of representation at the Senate on crucial issues involving the Igbo nation.
What exactly will Ikwerre 3LGA and their cotravellers bring to Ndiigbo, once Ijaw leaves with their crude oil wealth? Remember you still have scores to settle with Ijaw on PH. This are all distractions Ndiigbo can do without.

Anambra and Imo sits on huge reserves of natural gas already yet to be tapped.

I personally don't see what Ikwerre as a group can bring on the table to Ndiigbo, I think you have nothing to offer, other than shouting our Oyel, our Oyel, if it's up to me , I would lock you and your Ogba, Etche and Ekpeye cousins out of Igbo entirely. And when the time is right, I would use you all to negotiate with Ijaw, the owners of Niger delta republic for safe passage through Obuaku to the sea.
Infact, part of the reasons I don't want Ikwerres in Igboland, is that I sense we might need to one day negotiate with Ijaws for safe passage through Imo river or Niger River to the Atlantic , knowing how Ikwerres are deep in battle for soul of Ph with Ijaws, not having Ikwerres in our midst and rather using them as bargaining chip with the Ijaws, would be a very profitable venture, especially if Nigeria ceases to exist and the influence of Hausa Fulani becomes reduced in the area.

Nnam I kwuka! Aghasana mkpuru aku n'owere ka ndiiro ghara ifu ife fa ya eji maa gi iche.

First, you need to understand that everyone living in Phalga and Obalga is counted as Ikwerre votes. That includes every Nigerian nationality, including the Ijaws and foreigners alike. If you feel Igbos are the only group with large population in Rivers, then you are mistaken. Akwa Ibom, Yorubas and Northerners have a sizeable population. What about the population of Indigenous Riverians.

Secondly, it will interest you to know that you can sit at home or travel to Anambra and your votes will still count in Rivers election and it will be counting steady for Ikwerres. We control the wards and units and our people know the exact figures that are registered in those places. They will simply fill them in as always and nobody will cough. It is the way election is won and lost in Rivers. Nobody complain. It is normal service.

Thirdly, due to the way Nigeria is structured, no matter how long SE Igbos live and do Business in Rivers, aren't Riverians. To you, Ikwerre may be a devil to Igbos, but it is best to do business with the Known devil than harvouring this unfounded feeling of importance cos ive explained earlier why it will fail. And the slightest notion that you were going about Rivers negotiating with other groups, interfering with the Dynamics of Rivers State will be bad for business for the Igbos. Except maybe, Abonnema can contain all SE Igbos living in Rivers, cos Abonnema is the biggest town the Ijaws boast of in Rivers and Ikwerreland will be too hot to live in.

Just learn to endure your prevailing circumstances, maybe with time our historians will remember we came from Awka and not Benin. Just Maybe.

Hmmm. Nwanza's belly is full little wonder he summoned the courage to challenge his chi. Ngwanu, n'ubochi nta, anyi achuo n'owere nchi.

Gartol:
asteroids would leave debris and particles, this is something else not an asteroid

Exactly. This is a big explosion and it's clearly connected to the one at Abule-Ado. Same destructive shockwaves. The military or someone with high military experience has a hand in this.

obiekunie2:
Oga you know absolutely nothing.

Ojukwu never declared any war. He only asked the murders who were busy murdering his people in cold blood to let his people go!

your fulani slave fathers and their fulani masters committed heinous blood crimes that will hunt them and their great grand children even to the 13th generation.

Nwanna, go and read carefully the OPs post that you agreed to in 100%. Take note of the last sentence of the first paragraph. You can apologise thereafter. Udo.
NB: The intent of the whole post is hinged on that particular sentence.

Nooil:
No, you should read your post again and come back and tell me what you have against women. Why didn't you use young men? Nonsense!

I give up.

Nooil:
I've made my point. You can go and hug transformer.

Ignorance while costly maybe forgiven but arrogance is mercilessly dealt with. Learn to read and comprehend. It will save you lots of trouble. Go and read my first post again.

Nooil:
You're so blinded by your hate in women that you do not waste a chance to show it

You've confirmed by earlier suspicion. You lack comprehension skills.

gidgiddy:
General Philip Effiong was a great man. He was the last president of Biafra. He fought for Biafra and had to take on the unenviable role of presiding over its surrender.

Effiong was a freedom fighter

This I can confidently append my signature.

obiekunie2:
i totally agree with this write-up.

Efiong was a very brave man and a hero.

Before appending your signature in agreement to any document, scrutinize it properly to avoid regrets. Do you agree that Ojukwu declared the war as written by OP in the first paragraph?

I commiserate with the Afghan people. I always wonder why such calamities from other countries are reported in major news channels but that from Nigeria with even more casualties are not even mentioned. Even the current Covid19 updates are given for other countries in Africa like Uganda, Kenya and even Zimbabwe but nothing about Nigeria. I wonder why.

gloriaunobi:
Ever since Covid-19 broke out world wide, is only in Nigeria that I'm seeing such bra-like masks

Hahahahahaha... that is a non-surgical face mask.

Lilbest3:
OK bro. I get it now

Seen. Cheers

Lilbest3:
I'm not a "her" you actually replied to me

I modified the post because it wasn't meant for you.

Nooil:
It is only you that will be stripped off your clothes and beaten like the condemned criminal you are while being mocked with the term 'bloody civilian

Do you have comprehension problem?

Lilbest3:
you don't know how to reply someone?

Apologies! That response wasn't meant for you.
