princdebola201: Why are you Ijaws and Edoids scared of seeing all Igbo speaking people unite? Why can't you just name this thread Edoid/ Ijaws commonwealth thread, if you do that and you see me comment here, as long as you don't go on land grabbing of Igbo speaking lands, then may I die tomorrow. For all the Igbophobic comments Yorubas Post on their Yoruba commonwealth thread, you will not see me comment there, not in this life. Because none of what they comment there affects the territorial integrity of the Igbo speaking nation. But this thread seeks to do just that. Isolate Igbo speaking territories in SS from Ndiigbo in SE by painting Ndiigbo in SE as monsters hell bent on grabbing their oil and land, then unite them in a phantom region where the Edoids and Ijaws become outright majority. Ndiigbo in SE will not let that happen. Not in this life. 35 Likes 4 Shares |

This mentality accurately described why the Ijaws went against Biafra.......why Biafran soldiers killed hundreds of thousands of SS people who opposed Biafra.

Obiagu1: Maybe, but no one cares! Either way they are stuck with us, and crude oil, their bargaining power right now is running out.Life span is 42 years. Add that to the fact that the Atlantic is moving up towards us and will eat up their current few lands. They are in for it, if they don't change their attitude. They won't be dealing with fragmented Igbo groups like Ndokis and Ikwerres like they did in the past, they will be dealing with a very hostile and enraged Igbo nation hell bent to revenge and righting wrongs done to us. They better thread carefully. 19 Likes |

Ibebe: No such thing happened, there was no SS people in 1966-70, just Biafrans. We couldn't have killed a non existing people. But it's on record that the Edoids were pointing out our Anioma brothers who ran to them for refuge to Nigeria army to be massacred. No one is stffing any Ijaw or Edoid resolve. You already saw the condolence message to Ojukwu family by Eze Oyigbo, Rivers state, where he also re affirmed his Igbo solidarity.

[b] y Ochereome Nnanna ALTHOUGH there were varied positions on the matter, in the end the General Sani Abacha administration created Bayelsa out of Rivers State in 1996” The circumstances behind my joining a delegation for the burial of His Royal Majesty, Sunday Nnanta Woluchem, the Epara Rebisi XI of Port Harcourt on Saturday, April 21, 2012 is encapsulated in the above quote taken from his burial programme. As the author of his yet to be published biography, former Chief of General Staff, retired Commodore Okoh ebitu ukiwe, asked me to join his delegation to bury a royal father who, along with ukiwe and others, played leading roles in the creation of today’s Rivers and Bayelsa states between 1993 and 1996. When the civil war started in 1967 and Biafra lost control of Port Harcourt to the Federal forces, the newly created Rivers State was handed over to the Ijaw. Ijaw leaders continued to maintain that Rivers State, with Port Harcourt as its capital, was created for them as reward for ceding their coastal terrain to the Federal side, thus making the sea blockade of Biafra possible. The Ijaw groups claimed to constitute the majority and continued to dominate the state both during military and civilian dispensations. With time, however, the Igbo speaking people of the state, particularly the Ikwerre nationality, decided they wanted a state of their own where they would be able to assert their own political and economic interests. This was what led to the quest for the creation of Port Harcourt State. However, the Ijaws felt if such a state was created they would become estranged in a city they have been part and parcel of since it was founded by the colonialists. In fact, they had even started portraying Port Harcourt as the capital of a future Ijaw state. Thus was born a great rivalry between the Ijaw-speaking and Igbo-speaking groups for the control of Rivers and between what was termed the “Okrika-Ijaw” and “Ikwerre-Igbo” over the “ownership” of Port Harcourt. The gruesome murder of Dr Obi Wali, the leader of the Ikwerre political front by yet-to-be ascertained assassins in 1992, owed to this tussle, which often led to street battles between Okrikans and Ikwerres. Meanwhile, the late father of Nigeria’s nationalism, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, had discussed the best strategies for reducing the animosity between the Igbos and their Minority neighbours as well as dousing the ethnic tension between Ikwerres and their riverine co-indigenes of Rivers State. It was agreed that as the touted largest Minority group, the Ijaw needed a state of their own. But with their emotional attachment to Port Harcourt, how would Rivers State be split without creating a permanent ethnic war front in Nigeria’s premier oil city? With the Ijaw groups obviously being favoured by the Northern-led Federal Government, Eze Woluchem, a lawyer who was installed paramount ruler of Port Harcourt in 1977 turned to Dr Azikiwe, appealing for him to support the aspirations of his Igbo kinsmen in the struggle. An ageing “Zik” referred the Eze’s delegation to Commodore ukiwe, who had become Zik’s close political confidant. The Eze’s delegation of four, which included the late Chief Okogbule Wonodi and Chief Andrew Uchendu, met with ukiwe in his office in Victoria Island. Their proposal was that Port Harcourt State should only be for Igbo-speaking Rivers people, while the Ijaw-speaking part would be named New Rivers State. On the other hand, the Kalabaris did not want to be parted with Rivers State, neither did the Okrikas, and ukiwe advised that it would be “unstrategic” to cut out Bonny, Opobo, Kalabari and Okrika, apart from the fact that the Head of State, General Abacha, who was pro-Ijaw, might be pushed not to create any new state at all. Between ukiwe and the Ikwerre delegation, and taking into account the expressed needs of others, the maps of the present Rivers State and Bayelsa State were drawn and presented to Abacha, who found it acceptab [/b] 17 Likes |

princdebola201: Where did you get the idea that Igbo speaking groups are living in Eldorado with Ijaws and Edoids. Do you know why the Old rivers state was dividedand Bayelsa was created with most Ijaws shipped to Bayelsa? The Igbo speaking groups were complaining of Ijaw domination in the old Rivers state to Zik, who used his contacts to pull strings for them. Read the details above in bold. 14 Likes 1 Share |
