FEGNO: Thanks for this detailed and heartwarming post! It filled me up with a rollercoaster of emotions....from elation down to melancholy! When some wonder at the motivation for people from outside the then Eastern (and probably Mid-West) regions taking the decisions they took during and immediately after the uncivil war...and why some daft saboteurs within the Eastern Region helped outsiders to wage war on their own neighbour (and in some cases, their own kinsfolk)....beside crass stupidity, another or the main reason was envy and unbridled hate born out of the belief ‘the East can’t be allowed to surpass us in development or use all that oyel for themselves’ ! A major reason why ‘one Nigeria’ is still stuck in a rut is envy! Being too much of a busybody at what your ‘competition’ is doing, and ensuring that the resources God blessed them with are appropriated by the centre for sharing based on conditions like worthless landmass and population! Envy, greed, laziness and covetousness are the primary reason Nigeria WILL NEVER BE MENTIONED IN THE SAME BREATH AS THE LIKES OF UAE, RWANDA AND EVEN GHANA....NEVER MIND MORE INDUSTRIALISED COUNTRIES LIKE SOUTH-KOREA, JAPAN AND SINGAPORE! Igbos can NEVER THRIVE AND REACH OUR FULL POTENTIAL IN NIGERIA, and this is why i want us out of this god forsaken country! 1 Like |

kingthreat: Europe paid dearly for maltreating Germany after the first world war with the second world war. The biggest hit was France since they took a good chunk of German lands after world war 1. During the Israeli Arab war, Israel captured parts of Egyptian lands, specifically the Sinai penisula. But in the interest of future peace, Israel returned the land and Egypt vowed never to stand against Israel again. Today they are good neighbors. The ijaw man is not wise. Igbos are a majority and Nigeria will not hold the large igbo nation forever. Ijaw will be the largest casualty when igbos come for their lands in Bonny, opobo and the rest 4 Likes |

Tranquill:well one thing remains certain.... the so called igbo land grabbing was actually igbos buying land with their money. I have never seen or heard of any official complaint by ANY of your leaders of, how Michael okpara or zik forcefully took your lands and gave to igbo. Our fathers bought all their lands ...They didn't get them as gifts. Your fathers sold land and became envious at the sucesses of the igbos and when the opportunity came..they happily sided with the north..naturally the retreating biafran army would vent anger when informants from ogoni WHOM HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THEIR KITH AND KIN, whom married a lot of our daughters vice versa would rather go giving info to the northern backed military to destroy and kill biafran forces. Before biafra was declared ...there was a consensus from all traditional leaders and the name biafra was even suggested by an Izon comrade.... contrary to the falsehoods being spewed that it was an igbob affair. You think every one was happy with the biafran set up? Even some major parts of igbos felt the anambra side of igbo dominated ojukwus govt but we would rather be dominated by an anambra/ neigbour whom is linked directly, and indirectly affected by every policy, than be dominated by a foreign enemy that would have no stake/ effect from enacting horrible policies in my land. Today would it be safe to say that Ogonis are worse off than when the east was one entity? YES YES... The beautiful part is...with all the abandoned property we have moved on and achieved far greater. The only reason we are complaining is the fact that this northern govt since the end of the war has held us back and kept us at their level. 2 Likes 1 Share |

DubaiLandLord:oga stop talking trash.... They all agreed to leave and if you read Ademoyegas book ....(why we struck and madiebo) you would know, the declaration of biafra was not Ojukwus action alone. He called a meeting of traditional leaders esp from the minorities and overwhemingly they supported secession.. only reason they betrayed biafra ...was the fact gowon carved up the east so they probably thought this would give them more independence... clearly showing how much wisdom they had. Ojukwu did not declare biafra by himself... 1 Like |

revolt:Gibberish!! What year and date is Rivers and Cross River created? When did Ojukwu declare Biafra? When did this traditional meeting take place and where? Minorities in the Eastern region were complaining about been marginalise, and this same people suddenly accepted to be in Biafla with ibos they were claiming was marginalising them? Do you even have sense at all to think this through Mr. Man? Ojuku can't just decide to secede just because leaders from the minority group gave him ahead to do so Only through a referendum can such a thing happen. Ojuku should have learnt to what happened to Adaka Boro. Adaka Boro also had a valid reason to secede and he didn't even secede with Ibo land. 1 Like |
