You are partly right but the main grouse the ibos have with the yorubas was that WE DID NOT SUPPORT THEM during their biafra shenannigan. But the bottomline is that had we done so, the ibos would have taken over yorubaland and we will still be trying to get rid of them, now.The yorubas were not ready for war while ojukwu at least, admitted to having been preparing for the war for the best part of a year. Had we supported Ojukwu, our population would have been slaughtered and depleted by blood-thirsty northern troops based in the western region then, only for Ojukwu's rag-tag "liberation" (sic) force under the command of a yoruba man to occupy themselves with a mop-up exercise. There and then the whole of southern nigeria would be under the command of ojukwu and his ibo people. Hence the ibos hates the yorubas much more than the hausa/fulanis who instigated a pogrom on them killing hundreds of thousands in the process. They hate the yorubas because they felt rightly or wrongly, that it was the yorubas who stopped them from ruling nigeria. It was a brilliant plan but very risky,unfortunately ojukwu lost the gamble which led to the death of a million nigerians.

Yea it seems like some Igbos wanted the Yorubas to share equally in the loss with them. Not because of some partnership or because they were allies but because maybe they have a superiority complex and feel like if they suffer Yorubas should suffer as well. Now they are forced to take the historical loss all alone. That is just my interpretation of it. I mean what else could it be?

Dede1:
If you are not a classified dunce, you would have realized that Cross River does not have a drop of crude oil. What gave Cross River State crude oil production tag was Bakassi Peninsula and I guess you must have known the [size=28pt] faith [/size]of Bakassi by now.

I don't do the name calling bro

But I have looked at quite a few maps detailing oil producing areas in Nigeria and majority of Nigeria's oil is in the deep south. This is not to say that South Eastern Nigeria has no oil...I'm just saying that most of your country's oil is in the deep South (South-South) areas on the coast and near Cameroon and it couldn't have been that different from the late 60s.

But Dede1, I'm still trying to figure out what the Yorubas historically did to the Ibos that creates all of this animosity from your end? It just seems like Ibos show more respect to those that are oppressing and killing them.

Kanto: What makes me so happy is that no matter the long stories by pimps and cockroaches here Ojukwu has been vindicated by the predicanment of nigeria today. Yorubas have been crying for a sovereign national conference, middle belters are asking for a sovereign national conference, south south is asking for a sovereign national conference, everyone is now seeking a return to aburi accord. nigeria is a failed state lacking in the most basic infrastructure and boko haram wants to islamise the whole nation.

Nigeria under the leadership of the hausa-yoruba since the end of the civil war is the most corrupt country in the world and the biggest failed state in the world. Very soon boko haram will extend their religious war to the south and nigeria will face fire. Ojukwu has turned out a prophet who has been vindicated. I dey laugh o!

Dede1:



You are free as air to flaunt your ignorance in the public but remember you do not have monopoly on knowledge. I would want you to give brief historical account of Shell D’Arcy crude oil exploration in southern protectorate starting in 1948.

If you are not a classified dunce, you would have realized that Cross River does not have a drop of crude oil. What gave Cross River State crude oil production tag was Bakassi Peninsula and I guess you must have known the fate of Bakassi by now.

It is unfortunate Nigeria is still filled to the brink with functional illiterates such as you who have never made an attempt to disabuse their mind from the idiotic propaganda fed to it by Gowon and northern regional political elites.

jp philips:

if you go by OBJ's onshore -offshore dichotomy, OML123 will most likely fall into cross river oil field.
wouldn't be classified as majority though but one oil field, there may be many of its like that i may not be aware of.

Dede1:


As far as I am concerned, offshore crude oil deposits are exclusive domain of Nigeria as a country. As I write this post, Cross River State does not have a drop of crude oil. We all know what drove Obasanjo’s scheme of offshore and onshore dichotomy as well as boundary adjustment.

jp philips:

seriously, you just gave me an assignment, i used to think Oron and Adanga have oil, please confirm your quote above, can someone else confirm the quote above?

Dede1:

I am quite sure about Oron being part of Akwa Ibom State but not quite sure on Adanga. However, I shall bet that Adanga is close to Ibeno in Akwa Ibom State.

Yewe2011:

most of the oil is and was not in biafra (igbo lands).


That lady who wrote the book Half of a Yellow Sun also lied on a BBC panel presentation in London when discussing her book to a British audience. She stated with slight hesitation (when asked) that the oil was in igbo land. (which is not true)


most of Nigeria's oil was and still is in the "south-south" region of the country which is inhabitated by cross-rivers peoples. It's my understanding that the Igbos are indigenous to only the south-east portion of the country.









As an outsider looking in, it seems to me that a lot of the hatred some Igbos might have for Yorubas stems from the fact that although at one point in time the Yorubas did express disatisfication with the Nigerian union...They did not however make the hasty decisions that the Igbos made (military coup, declaring unilateral succession,etc.) and therefore did not suffer the losses the Igbos did.

I just need to ask what joy una get from this?

From brixtonye pretending to be british, to an old member that pretended to be latin american to you pretending to ghanaian. Im not even going to include those pretending to be from other ethic group. Wtf joy do una get from this.

Dude you are nigerian. Most certainly yoruba. You wanna know how I knew
1.) The landlock comment.
2.) The oil comment and ss comment.

Most of the people I hang out with are ghanaians and i've traveled to that country many times. Till date I have never meet a ghanaian that knows what is igboland, yorubaland, hausaland, ijawland, etc or where or which regions belong to whom. Ive never meet one that knows ethnic groups in nigeria excluding igbo and yoruba nor the cities or states which inhabit those tribe including igbo and yoruba. Many thinks the hausa population in nigeria is the same as there's [which is minority]. The ignorance nigeria has about ghana and its indigenous (knowing very little about the country) is the same ignorance ghanaian have about nigeria.

Dude una need to stop with the pretense. Its getting pathetic

igbo boy:

This is how i know you are Yoruba....you called odili and ibori governor of eastern state...
No SS man will say Rivers state or Delta is in the east
North knows the difference in region.


So this leaves ofemanus as the option for you, since Yoruba's idea of Nigeria is if your name has arabic origins then you are hausa (very son dem go call oshiomole hausa cos his middle name na Aliyu)
if your name has say Mofe,you are Yoruba...
if non of the above then you are igbo (so efemena is igbo, nosa is igbo, ufoma is igbo, elohor is igbo, edet is igbo, rukwevwe is igbo, priye is igbo, jumbo is igbo). Una daft well well sha no be today.

PointB:

But we are already praying. That God will hasten this disintegration of this cesspit! That the multiple crisis be-deviling this joke of a country stained with innocent blood cause a schism - peacefully or forcefully! What else can we do, force God's hand?

mpumalanga:
You are saying what you like and at the same time calling people to come together with you in prayers.i think you are talking of gowon type of prayer but remember that the wrath of God will always be revealed to all those that suppress the truth in their unrighteousness.[rom.1v18]

How can you be justifying the extermination of your people because of some few igbos that
are collateral victims?focus on the lives and property of your people because they are human and stop looking on the igbos every time to justify the death of your people in their own land.Our Christianity and yours is different so you are on your own and we don't have common enemies.

Jamisco:


I pray for this disintegration too my brother, only that I pity you because when finally Nigeria is divided into five different countries say, south-south (Niger Delta), south east (Biafra) south west (Ododua), north west and some part of north east (Usman Danfodio) and north central and some part of north east (New Jerusalem), you will know the hell that will befall on you. is it killing yourselves on land matter or legalizing arm robbery? i'm afraid you people will still lack peace because of your greedness. don't mind me let us keep praying for the DISINTEGRATION

xwolverine:

This just shows your level of intelligence, I named four governors but in your haste to show your stupidity, you pointed out the single mistake.
Rivers was part of the old eastern region Fact. It is either you slept in class or your brains were filled with palm wine when you are being taught elementary geography?

You lost track of the message i'm trying pass across, which is no matter what happens when Nigeria splits, its still business as usual for the politicians...

Foolish !diot

Dede1:

I must candidly advise you not to hinge your knowledge of Nigeria on the propagandist maps you cull from the Internet. The maps you have referenced in your last post are setup to accomplish a purpose. I am not surprise you fell for them.

You are free to conclude direction of the wave of animosity in Nigeria. Again, Ndigbo are not oppressed or killed by anybody in Nigeria. It appears you are well fed with the propaganda coming out of Nigeria. There are set of Nigerians who still cling to the moronic and barbaric behaviors of yesteryears as in the case of Boko Haram. You should also know these people do not have monopolistic strangle hold on barbarism.

Dede1:

At this juncture, a loudmouthed jackass such as you would not have any canopy over your psychotic head to spew crap. You will be forced to answer your idiotic forbearer’s name for a change.

igbo boy:

chai which ara-wolowo school you go? the one foe ife or the one for ekiti?

Ok nigeria was part of the british empire so goodluck jonathan is a british president smh...daft boi...rivers was part of the eastern region does that make governors of present day rivers governors from the east?

Abeg no dey talk again cos this so called sophisticated school una dey attend for the west baffles me....Abeg just go Alaba make one Nna take you under his wing as an apprentice cos your father has wasted his money in sending you to a half baked ekiti school.

loquacious non entity like you, you are the epitome of arrant display of unsophisticated madness..abhorrent im.be.cile...

xwolverine:

The joke is on you man if you can't decipher a simple analogy then your case is lost. Can't believe you actually typed out the daft logic above, listen to yourself you are beginning to sound pathetic...Was Rivers not part of the proposed Biafra regions? the issue is not geographical location, as a matter of fact, the last time I checked the Nigerian Map, Benue and Taraba states are more easterly than any other states. I obviously did not say southeast, neither did i say igbo states....

Well I am not surprised if you could't write a whole statement without resorting to ebonics how would you understand the point I am trying to make.

I wonder why you are so frustrated with your miserable life. You obviously have difficulty in understanding simple statements, If you dont understand a perspective, please skip and ignore my comments, its not by force to comment on Nairaland bloo.dy nitw!t.

Onlytruth: I have come to the conclusion that the greatest parasites in Nigeria are the ones who constantly try to tell Igbo that "SS"(read non-Igbo SS tribes) will not join them in Biafra (as if any Igbo gives a damn! ). But notice that once we tell such people that we don't care, they disappear, never to return!
I will repeat it, the parasites are those who are leeching on this organized chaos called Nigeria. They fear disintegration more than death!

Jamisco:

yes bros, it is know you are talking our Christianity is different from yours. your Christianity is mammon that's why you can kill even your wife, children etc for money. even though i read economics i still don't understand what you mean by igbos killed as collateral victims (securities). also like you don't know an elementary statistics, when you asked me to focus on the lives and property of my people whereas the killings and destruction of property in the north is more on Igbos than Christian northerners.

I now know that we have different enemies, our enemies are those enemies of Christ but your enemies are northerners. our enemy is sin while your enemies are selves since you cannot even forgive yourselves. the blood you shed during the so call Biafran war cannot allow you to repent. the numbers of Niger Deltan you killed? I am wearied with this your so called Ojuku that cannot even win a senator sit, his people who are called by his name voted him not to represent them in the senate but after his gone, the are now calling him a hero, general, messiah etc. me,we, we will continue to pray for you because our own (Christian Northerners) God is Christ Jesus who answers prayer.
