ur writeup sound tribalistic in nature nd dat obviously indict u as one who could b said to b suffering from d "mental slavery"u talked abt....

Bt if i were to reason along wit u,i would want to ask:r u sure dis people have nt learnt from dis mistake,atsuch necessitating dia refusal to partner with d SE to avert being betrayed just lik d yorubas nd hausas u mentioned did?
Do u really knw d states dat make up d word"niger-delta"?if u do,abia nd imo wich r ibo state r part of it,so i wanna ask does dat nt once more prove dat ur own people including u r equally suffering from "mental slavery"?

Pls try to b pragmatic wen posting,get ur facts,nt just abt reading history books bt reading d right/concrete once.

Stop being judgmental

UncleJudax:

Igbos are not attaching to anybody...but no matter how dumb and hackneyed that your propaganda becomes, you just cant let go.

Have you not seen Igbos advocating for Ijaw nation, and for other smaller tribes in the SS to merge according to their interests?

With or without Biafra, there are Igbos in SS, more so, SS will always be our neighbours.

Get it?

Biafra Occupation of Midwest
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwest_Invasion_of_1967

On August 17 Governor Okonkwo installed a dusk to dawn curfew in which only citizens with passes would be allowed to move freely at night. Non-Igbo citizens, especially the Hausa community, were subject to harassment from Biafran soldiers while women were often molested and sometimes raped, this in retaliation for the 1966 anti-Igbo pogrom. Resistance groups began springing up constantly consisting of mainly ethnic Urhobos and Ijaws. Because of a series of uprisings against the occupying Biafrans in Benin City, General Okonkwo began raising a force of loyal native inhabitants to combat the rebels. By August 18 Okonkwo had assembled a force of 780 reliable volunteers to keep natives from attacking or killing Biafran soldiers. Loyal inhabitants donated whatever weaponry they has to the Biafrans, which consisted mainly of single-shot rifles and double-barreled shotguns. Cooks began poisoning Biafran soldiers whenever they had the chance to and it was because of this that Biafran soldiers began only eating food that was cooked by ethnic Igbos or self-cooked. Rebellious natives who did not wish to fight would often seduce Biafran soldiers to get information out of them and tell Nigerian authorities. On August 20 a group of Urhobo/Ijaw rebels raided a Biafran camp and were successful in killing 50 soldiers while 16 rebels were killed in the skirmish. Due to these rebellions Biafran soldiers began raiding and pillaging villages throughout both the Mid-Western Region and Niger Delta inhabited by anyone other than Igbo civilians. The Biafran government began broadcasting Biafran propaganda in the region while the Nigerian government broadcast anti-Biafran propaganda as well. On September 19 President Ojukwu declared Governor Okonkwo President of the Biafran puppet-state, the Republic of Benin, in an attempt to make citizens of the Mid-Western Region loyal to a government other than Nigeria.

We need to set the record straight b4 south south nations make a mistake of south Sudan. It is more than Four years south sudan left
sudan to form thier country. Since that time south sudan has been in War while North Sudan enjoy peace. Their case is like Nigeria case, south sudan owm most of the Oil and are mostly christians, while North Sudan mostly muslim and little oil.

This was because nations in south sudan came together to form a single country without ensuring that thier difference in ethnicity was fully discuss. Some part of south sudan are now feeling marginalized. That is exactly what will happen if Igbo succeed in forcing south south nations into Biafra. That so called Biafra wont have peace.

For peace to rain let Igbo form Biafra from the Five south east state and let the the six states in south south form a confederation.
Anything outside this will never work.

@ bolded Is this how dumb the commentators on ethnic thread are? I'm outta here with the kind of illiteracy and Ignorance sipping through your soul

[b] We Igbos are past resource control. We want our own country. As an Igbo man, I can speak for my tribe, I'm not about authoritatively speak for anyone else. It is difficult to gauge what the non-Igbo part of the SS want because there are over 30 tribes in the area and they do not speak with one voice except for Oil matters. Some people say they want Biafra, some say they want Niger-Delta Republic, while others like some Ijaws say they want the sovereign state of Ijawland. In the mist of this rambling and wrangling , everyday, the wealth of the SS people is being carted away in broad daylight. The only good thing about the whole situation is that it is very rare to see anyone from the SS saying the support "One Nigeria" which means that they are not happy with the status quo. So what is the way foward? Can the over 30 tribes that inhabit the SS come together to fight for Niger-Delta Republic? Can Ijaws take on the might of Nigeria to create 'Ijaw Republic' when even we Igbos are finding it tough to get Biafra? Again, these questions for the SS Man. I have often said it here that the quickest way for the Igbos and the SS to be emancipated is to team up and take on Nigeria. After we get our freedom, we can hold another referendum or a sovereign conference where every group can vote or decide if the want to stay with Igbos or go their separate ways.

I also want to sound a note of warning to the so called SS people. If there is a referendum to decide if Nigeria splits up, You can be sure we Igbos are going. Those of you who choose to remain in Nigeria because of the "Igbos want our oil" sentiment will never be able to leave Nigeria ever again. So hope you guys already have a cordial relationship with Yorubas and their Hausa compatriots because you're definitely going to need it [/b]

ASK THE IGBO MAN OPENED THIS TOPIC WHY HE IS SO INTERESTED IN OUR OIL.

WHY ARE YOU WAILING MORE THAN THE BEREAVED?



We can never join our Desperate and Avaricious neighbors in their quest for self actualization. That is their dream which they are entitled to.
We have our own aspirations which we will actualize in due time.

dearpreye is an exceptional Ijaw man capable of critical thinking, he's not Igbo but reasons like one. You're a dumb Yoruba MIGRANT living off the hospitality of the indigenous people of Lagos. When will you return to the evil forest of Oshogbo where you ply your illicit human ritual trade?

That is where you Igbo are getting it wrong. Nigeria cannot split into two. Nigeria can only split into minimum of five countries. Your five south east state will form Biafra. The six south south states will form a confederation or atleast three single countries.

The question in the referedum will not be will you join Biafra or Nigeria. That wont be the question.
The question will be do you want independence or Not with Nigeria grouped into minimum of five nations.

your biase is obvious. Igbo land is beyond the five GEO POLITICAL zones. I want all IGBOS in southeast and south south to form Biafra, then south south minorities can decide if they want their own nation.

They are part of the south south. They will go with south south
There are many yoruba in benin republic and togo. they are not in Nigeria.
There are many hausa in Niger, chad etc. They are not in Nigeria.
The state of Texas in the US are latino from mexico. That does not make mexicans Americans.
Boundary region of two countries always have people of similar culture.

God has already solved the problem with River Niger. that is a natural demarcation and border. You have to accept that.

I really marvel at some deluded people who thinks Dearpreye is Igbo. If they got that thing upstairs called brain and it's functioning properly, the name Preye should have made them know he's Ijaw and not Igbo.

Isaac Jasper Boro was born to a Kaiama family in present day Bayelsa State of Nigeria, in 1938 and died in mysterious circumstances on May 16, 1968 while fighting to unite Nigeria. [1,2]



Boro was he who shortly after the Jan. 1966 coup declared the first Republic within Nigeria called the Niger Delta Republic that lasted for 12 days. It was an attempt to liberate the Niger Delta people from the socio-economic oppression by the then eastern regional government. He was a chemistry undergraduate and the president of the students' union of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, a police officer and at his death, a commissioned officer of the Nigerian Army. see [4 for more details about this aspect of his life as I concentrate on the subject matter of this piece).



It is no use to repeat that [b]Isaac Boro who was jailed by the Maj. Gen. Aguiyi-Ironsi [/b]government on recommendation by the supreme court of Nigeria was pardoned by Lt. Col Yakubu Gowon's [b][/b]government and [b]later commissioned by the Nigerian Army as an officer [/b]to help liberate southern territories under Biafran control. He recruited Rivers men who volunteered to serve under him and gave them brief training at Escravos. According to Obasanjo on page 47 of [1], Boro's one-thousand Rivers men were "hurriedly and poorly trained with little or nothing in the way of training facilities and resources". His group was then attached to the 3 Marine Commando Division (then 3 Marine) under the command of Col. Benjamin Adekunle
