[b] 1. The area of Ndoki south covering the present Oyigbo (originally Obigbo) transferred from the old Aba division and lumped to Rivers State in 1976. Also, in the 1980s, three Ndoki villages namely Ohaobu, Mkpukpuaja and Ogbuagu villages carved from the then Imo State and lumped to Etim-Ekpo LGA of Akwa Ibom State. It is noteworthy to state that Oyigbo LGA apart from Oloibiri was the first place in Nigeria to produce oil and gas in commercial quantities (at Afam). Unlike Oloibiri which has dried-up since the 1980s, Afam and other Oyigbo oil-fields keep yielding vast quantities of petroleum.

2. Egbema communities now in Rivers State. Egbema has 16 villages and out of these 16 villages , 3 namely Mgbede, Aggah and Okwuzi has the largest reserves of oil and gas in the community. This is apparently the reason they were lumped to Rivers while the other 13 villages were left in Imo State where they had to contend with more modest reserves of the commodity.
It is important to note that this “punishment” at least as perceived by many Igbos did not end up with the eastern Igbo people. The Aniomas or Western Igbos had to lose Ndoni area to Rivers State and Osekwenike-Onyah area to Sagbama area of Bayelsa State. Just like the other examples I gave, all of these areas are oil-producing. It is often claimed that the Nigerian Civil war was a war fought over oil and gas and the actions of the federal government just like these examples seems to reflect suggest that the federal government had intended to give a tag of non-oil producing to Igbo areas including Anioma. While it is interesting to note that parts of Igbo land has been excised and lumped to other states, a good part of Itsekiri land embracing what is defined as Ugbege area was lumped to Ondo State; A state where Itsekiri people are not indigenous. This is one just an example of the double standards in Nigeria which seem to swell such protests. It therefore lies with the federal government to initiate moves to douse such feelings of alienation or punishment for the war. A common song by Peter Tos , which has one of its iconic lyrics “Everyone is crying out for peace but no one for justice” brings to the fore what we are trying to pass across here. [/b]

CyberWolf:
The media propaganda against Biafra is formidable, but I urge all true Biafrans to be on the alert and ready at all time to counter their lies and mischievous propaganda against Biafra. The struggle for Biafran freedom might take long, maybe years, maybe decades, but we are convinced that at the end, Biafra will come.

So the so-called major oil producing areas of Rivers state were all carved out from Imo and Abia states? Talk about evil, here is one staring you right in the face. We owe an apology...big one and reparations to the Igbos. The evil pepetrated against the Igbos is why Nigeria will and can never succeed. Nigeria reeks of deception, evil, and wickedness. We can continue to pretend all is well. Thanks to Nnamdi Kanu for bringing this truth to the younger generation of SS and SE who are now united to put an end to this monstrosity and restoration of Biafra.

Seriously? You didn't know this?
Why do you think the Ijaws are claiming them as "Ijaw" despite Ndoki and Egbema kicking and fighting against that forceful pushing.

Well at least you know now. The "Our oil" fools think Biafrans reference to oil is to "minorities oil" but anyone that follows all Biafran agitator group discussion will know each time they discuss about "oil", it's regarding "oil in igboland"..nobody else cause we ain't as greedy as the north and South West. Even all igbo oil plot owners own the oil literally in Igboland. Outside of Igbo land, you'll rarely find any igbo trying to purchase a plot that does not belong to us. In addition, all the oil companies that opened a headquarter in igboland, excluding ones in River state, were asked to migrate back to indigenous areas they drilled the most rather them having that HQ in our territory. There is a reason why despite Delta South is the biggest oil producing area in Delta state, neither iteskiri and urhobo/isoko were included in Biafra.

Excellent! I am happy our people are now waking up to counter the evil propaganda of our enemies.
Igbo niine bụ ofu. We stand united to be divided no more.

melzabull:
My brother, dont mind those ingrates. its good all of us keep our eyes wide open. Most Important thing is unity of Igbo from Anioma to Imo, Abia to Enugu, Anambra to Ebonyi and upto rivers, everywhere Igboland is.

The days of using dubious state creation to alienate Igbos from each other is gone. If they like let them carve Igbo state and put it in the north east, it will still be igboland and we must still identify with our siblings.

You are Igbo from rivers, i am Igbo from delta...Igbo is Igbo even if the treacherous evil people carve you outside SE and call it moon East zone or region.

Igbo bu Igbo. Igbo bu ofu

menabadoo:
they killed our fathers, raped our mother and girl and they think we will forget that easily?

The asaba massacre will remain a fresh wound, only Biafra can heal it.

I have always reiterated that we aniomas are more Igbo than some parts in southeast.

melzabull:
It beats me that some evil people for whatever evil reason will even attempt to deny the Igboness of Anioma, really pathetic

Real2020 are you same as New2020, have been feeling you and still feeling you. God bless you!

Why do you think I hate Nigeria greatly? Our resources are carted away to develop other lands leaving ours in ruins. And to think of it that we are a major group in not just Nigeria but Africa is one that breaks my heart. A very intelligent and enterprising people who were divided and plundered will always be recorded in history for us whether we like it or not. It behoves on us to change our pitiable situation before our oil resources are exhausted. We can do it by planning seriously and doing heavy consultations just like the wandering Jews did before they got back their ancestral lands. We can do it by choosing the right leaders and using our collective powers like our fathers did during the colonial times to make us the envy of others but this time our goal should be Biafra. A Nigerian president should not make us abandon that goal. Our enemies are very good schemers so we must put up our best. Already every Igbo man should know that the Yoruba leadership and the hausa/fulanis are in the oppressive game together. If we must war then we should be sure of total support of at least one of the world powers on our side. Else let us disturb the UN until they hear our cries and force Nigeria for a referendum. And our political leaders in Nigeria must be ones committed to the development of Igboland from the crumbs we receive else let them be murdered. Majority of Ndigbo don't know that its not just wealth and travelling to all the corners of this world that matters but to have a solid home country of yours. The Jews were successful in Europe but always dreamt of their homeland. Hitler's genocide really helped to convince them of the need. Our balkanization by the powers that be in Nigeria should be the catalyst to spur us to action.
