Of course, anioma is not an ethnic group. They are a subsets of a bigger ethnic group.
If Ika did not SIGNIFICANTLY support the biafran agenda, then why did murtala muhammed carry out a spree of vengeful anti-biafran cold blooded murders in the part of Nigeria and most parts of anioma.?
It is not totally correct to say that IKA overwhelmingly supported or supports biafra, it is also very wrong to say they didn't.

CSTR2:
How many akwaibom or crossriverians have monuments erected in their honour, let alone a seccessionist?
The Nigerian govt would have discouraged such outrightly. They didn't even want to give him a national burial.
The politics of the civil war after-math that made some people deny their igbo heritage is enough to remove any memory of biafra from the akwa-cross area.

Why majority of SS people don't really favour the idea of joining the Biafran struggle, it's not just because of the 'igbo wan come drink our oil excuse', like many always want people to believe,
It's because, after what we have gone through in Nigeria,
With the hausa/fulani North having a majority population that only needs a few votes from the South to win the Presidential elections,

We can't agitate for a country in which we will face the same prospects again,

We can't be a majority in Nigeria for years and then wake up now to agitate for a new Country, we will still be minorities in.

I would appreciate if u can be neutral to sensitive issues before Nairaland turns to Yorubaland

Oga Ika's ancestry is traced to the Bini, so is the Kwales and other groups. They still maintain they aren't Igbos and you are here forcing them. They didn't support Biafra

Oga, TonyeBarcanista is very correct in saying that when Ojukwu declared is Biafra, he was Governor of Eastern state that excluded Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Cross river. Old Rivers and Old Cross river were already created by Gowon.


In February 1966, when Isaac Boro, Sam Owonaro and Nottingham Dick alongside their supporters proclaimed a "Delta Peoples Republic", biafra was not included in the said republic. On 27 May 1967, under the administration of General Yakubu Gowon, decree No. 14 was issued, allowing the creation of Rivers State. Ojukwu's Eastern region at the time of "secession" did not include Ijawland or modern day SS area.

The good people of Niger Delta fought alongside gallant Nigerian soldiers to defeat the secessionists. My Gull, there is no need to try to revise history, though we have come to expect that from you.

If you and the likes of Kanu want to lead Igbo youths on another suicide mission, be rest assured that the people of the Niger Delta will fight you once again.

Mcowubaba:
I am Igbo..nd I am sincerely tired of people or other tribes talking down/thrash abt my tribe...

I don't knw why some of my Igbo people drag SS into Igbo matter...

If the (SS) say that the have nothing to do with Igbos, let them be naaa...

We keep making this people fell excessively Important ..

The facts are always the fact...arguments don't change fact.. If a community in SS speaks Igbo, dresses likes Igbos, bear Igbo names, automatically the are Igbo people...we don't need to argue over it...
Afam4eva nd co, the girl from Akwa Ibom has told u that no Igbo indigenous group is in Akwa Ibom, why not let that be, it wouldn't change the fact -if there are Indigenous Igbos there ?, it now seems as if u are begging them to accept that Igbos are indigenous in some of their community- this is highly illogical, uncalled for nd silly...

We true Igbos (by true Igbos I mean people who have fully accepted our lovely tribe without arguments) are not interested in anybody who doesn't want to be part of us ... Live nd let live...
"Biri kam biri"..
Stop giving this SS minorities reasons to talking sh!t abt the Igbo tribe...Leave them alone.... Everyday dem d create topic to tell Igbos hw the are not part of u, or how the hate Igbos...

Sweetlemon:


What is this one saying?

Important roads, hospitals, and some government artifacts in Akwa-Ibom and Cross river are named after some notable sons and daughters of Akwa/Cross. In fact, you'd see more Igbo monuments in Lagos than in Akwa/Cross or even anywhere else in SS for that matter. That is why I don't know why you Igbos hate Yorubas so much. Those people are very accommodating. No Igboish sounding name can even dare to vie for ordinary councilor in the SS (minus Delta and Rivers upland areas)
Also when mentioning notable Akwa/Cross sons and daughters, nowhere will you hear of that Effiong guy. And yes we have a lot of respected men and families in Akwa/Cross.

Below is the truth about Biafra......you are welcome to refute the facts below


Old Maps Show Biafra Was Actually In Cameroon And Never Part Of Nigeria




Another map from 1644 also puts “Biafara” solidly in Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and São Tomé and Príncipe and far from Nigeria’s furthest Eastern border. Apparently the prior name of the territory now called Biafra by this group was recognized and mapped as “Benin,” and never Biafra in all historic maps.




Origins Of The Name “Biafra”
According to Encyclopaedia britannica: a dictionary of arts, sciences …, Volume 11-12, year 1910 , the name “Biafra” from “Bight of Biafra, comes from the word, “Mafra,” a town in Portugal.

The Shocking Truth About Biafra

EVEN THE DILECTOR SAID IT THAT "BIAFRANS ARE NOT NIGERIANS"....SO WHO IS DECEIVING WHO...CAN THEY PLEASE RELOCATE TO THEIR ROOT.....CAMEROON


@afam4ver, no ban me....I just pull out the facts for all to see......if in doubt read more here

Anybody can say what they wanna say, as long as 80% of keke riders in my city all have one form of Biafra flag or sticker on their machines, who sigh.

Look at this picture, 2 out of 3 Keke drivers put Biafran flag or sticker on their machines.


and also check out that flag hoisted somewhere, it means the spirit of Biafra has awoken, it is everywhere, people now rock Biafran caps and wears around, even past police and army check points.

In Igbo we say "onye kwe, chi ya ekwere" - "if you say yes, you god will say yes".

CSTR2:
Still tends to the aftermath of the civil war politics.
Effiong was the most influential in akwa-cross area at the time of civil war. He was the leader.
Ofcourse, i am not surprised if there are not monuments of him there. Post Civil war politics was at play.
How many monuments does ojukwu even have in the SE?

Aftermath of wetin? Effiong was a nobody before Biafra and remained a nobody after Biafra because Biafra was never important to us. Period!
Ojukwu has memorial days in his honour doesn't he? He has one or two streets or something name after him right? So compared to Ojukwu, Effiong is NOBODY to us. We see him as someone who tried to sell his people because of the prospect of being 2nd in command. Finish!
