WHY KEN SARO WIWA AND THE NIGER DELTA REFUSED TO JOIN BIAFRA

This is why we will never be in support of their so called BIAFRA

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.

when the civil war started, ojukwu n his Bois made a dash for Lagos but we're repelled at Ore... y did they not face the abokis that they had issue with and then invade north...it was this action of theirs that got Yoruba angry and fought against them in the civil war.

GEJ is from the Niger Delta yet none of you guys has ever supported moves to avenge his betrayal by the SW.

But whenever any opportunity presents itself to undermine Biafra, all you fake SS people flood the thread.

This is a typical SHADOWY behaviour by SW people duly noted by Sir Wilink many decades ago.

you see if these overzealous people were not intercept on time they would have conquer Lagos and other places and name them all Biafra, France and some francophone countries were all behind them



when I watched the Biafra documentary, I wanted to feel sober for southeast not until I watched the Genesis of the war


killing Northern, Western and central premier ministers leaving behind Michael Opara who they claimed ran away and Azikwe who have been beef to travelled out they should have known that's provocation

you killed someone on the basis of corruption, no prosecution or jail? that was typical Igbo elimination of other tribe leaders, if not those coupist would have been jailed, reconciliation would have been make. in the process of atoning for the junior Igbo officer atrocities, Ironsi adopted unitary system of govt


thunder fire Ademugan the only Yoruba officer in that coup, these people lure you to kill your own kinsmen but told their own kinsmen to run away shows how deceitful Igbo were then. they were dominating Nigeria political space with either killing or conspiracy. it's quite unfortunate their innocent kinsmen paid the price


no wonder Hausa take their tent with Yoruba, no wonder Yoruba don't want to collaborate with Igbo on political journey. if Igbo are deputizing any Hausa in any party, they will always hit the brick, I doubt if typical Hausa can still trust Igbo on a political lifeline

how does exercising one's franchise conscientiously amount to betrayal? did gej at any point enter into any form of agreement with the "generality" of the southwest (save a handful political jobbers) to warrant the wail of betrayal? and what makes you think gej reserved the right to be voted for? the southwest is too sophisticated for your pettiness pls!

boro and Ken were very stupid. they could have declared Niger Delta republic to spite ojukwu. if both had declared Niger delta republic, it would have been another story. even Awolowo goofed to support fg, if yoruba had declared oduduwa republic, it could be another story well. biafra was declared in good faith but yoruba and niger delta leaders acted based on sentiment and hatred for ojukwu.

This your so-called EXERCISING ONE'S FRANCHISE, was the reason GEJ's ADC, an Ijaw man in DSS was sent to an early grave by your incompetent Fulani masters that you brought into power
It was this Yoruba treachery that sent Diepreye Alamieyeseigha to an early grave, when Yorubas and Fulanis in government hounded him to death.
It was this same Yoruba treachery that sought to cast every Ijaw man in Jonathan's government or an ally of GEJ, as heavily corrupt e.g Deziani, Alamieyeseigha, GEJ's ADC, Patience Jonathan e.t.c.

Thank God US government agencies are now investigating elements in this government to expose the level of corruption going on in this "saintly" government ushered in by SW almajiris (scratched-face OSUs) and their Fulani masters. To every almajiri north or SW, Buhari is way better than GEJ.

So if you are an SS man and don't see these unfairness meted out to your fellow SS people, as something worth raising as an issue, then I can categorically say the person is not a real SS person.

All these shadowy SS people concocted by scratched-face OSUs (MinorityOpinion et al) will never raise the 2015 betrayal of a fellow Southern president as an issue, but will readily flood nairaland with anti-Igbo threads. We are not fooled

can you listen to your gibberish? if alameiyeseigha's hands were clean in the first place,would the issue of hounding as you want the world to believe have arisen? again,were the documents the efcc intended using in his prosecution before he eloped into thin air not sourced from within bayelsa government circles? again,how does the fact that he was caught with looted funds in hard currencies in the UK,a criminal act which culminated in his subsequent sentencing equate to victimization? Why are you trying all your possible best to prove your ineptitude? what exactly do you stand to gain from senselessness? did alams steal your brain alongside bayelsa funds? I really want to know!

You Yorubas and warped logic designed to do in people.

It is clear victimisation because Bola Tinubu, who is the national leader of APC has not explained to us how he got his money, but the government he is a part of, had to travel to far away Bayelsa to go victimise a former SS governor.

You are already screaming like a typical scratched-face OSU.

When GEJ was fighting hard to give Yorubas the speakership of the Federal House of Representatives, wasn't it Yorubas, in obediene to their Fulani masters that undermined that move.
GEJ fought to make a Yoruba person the number 4 citizen, and your people scuttled that, and you are here blaming Jonathan for your foolishness.
It was you guys that marginalised yourself, as you were trying to curry favour from Fulanis. Stop blaming Jonathan and the SouthSouth for your misadventure. I believe Igbos fought alongside GEJ to instal a Yorubaman as the number 4 citizen also. You coneheads have been responsible for your marginalisation during GEJ's government. The records are there

Anyway, we are used to SW almajiri's penchant for forming SHADOWY fronts. All these fake SS monikers are scratched-face OSUs and we all know that

In this argument, it was your destiny to give up because logic, fairness and justice were not on your side. As it happens, they are exactly the medication that you need, a healthy dose of logic, a recommended dose of fairness and an overdose of justice. Take care
