They make us hate ourselves for political reasons, i still maintain that if the so called elders of this country want the country to be united as they hipocriticaly claim, they would do things in such a way that u wont have any option than to love your Fellow Nigerian no matter the tribe the person is from. But no, they wont cos when Nigerians stops being too divided along ethnic lines, it wont be them the old school politicians that will be relevant but a crop of totally new set of people. That's why they will continue to create avenues where whereby inter tribal hatred and jingoism is the order of the day.. . There is a hidden conspiracy! 1 Like |

CSTR2:Which SS group supported Biafra? You can say 'Asaba supported Biafra' but not ANIOMA because Ika and other groups never did. As for SS, our demands are literally the same. I did an article on that. For Ogoni, haha, they want fiscal autonomy within Nigeria same with other SS groups. The ND Republic is a 'Proposal' by some people and honestly, it is a viable alternative 2 Likes |

Re: Glaring Difference Between Igbo And Biafra by Sweetlemon(f): 9:16am On Dec 29, 2015 |
Afam4eva: Me I don't know about Asaba own. I am telling you about my own state. Originally there are NO Igbo ethnic groups in Akwa Ibom. Apart from the gorge material, We share nada in common with Igbos. Nothing at all. The Igbos there are the ones whose families trade between Abia and Akwa Ibom. They are not allowed to hold traditional titles and are definitely not active in politics. Mazi Afam, take ya time! 4 Likes 1 Share |

Let us have sanity in the house. To settle the issues of biafra, let the government conduct a referendum to determine the independence of the biafra state. It was a referedum that lead to the creation of the mid western region from the western region and it was a plebicite that made the south cameroon which were part of nigeria to join camerron, remember that the first minister of information in nigeria was a camerroon. In this modern age, you cannot force people to live together. Indigeneous people have the right for self determination as recognised by the un charter. Nigerian constitution need to be reviewed to include referendum if some group of people are not satisfied with terms of our collective existence as obtained in the developed country in the world. Biafra is beyond the south eastern region. If biafra succeed, that will mark the end of nigeria. Even the artificial south- south region will be fragmented into tiny clans because of different ethnic group within the region and the western region will seccede. 3 Likes |

Re: Glaring Difference Between Igbo And Biafra by airsaylongcon: 9:18am On Dec 29, 2015 |
TonyeBarcanista: Barçanista, while I agree that today's Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River may (do?) not constitute present day so-called Biafra, at the time of the war those states were firmly in Eastern Nigeria which Ojukwu then ruled an seceded with. Nigeria coming to split Eastern region after secession was aimed at weakening Ojukwu. But able initio those aforementioned states constituted a part of Biafra and only rebelled when Ojukwu made the fatal mistake of expelling non-igbos from Biafra 4 Likes |

This is a very great post. Thanks to you, Afam4eva for writing this up. It's totally true that not all Igbo people support Biafra,so it's wrong of anyone of us to lump all igbos up in one pack and call them 'biafra'. That said,I am a Nigerian and I love Nigeria and will always play my little part to the growth and unity of Nigeria, I will continually condemn 'biafra'. God Bless Nigeria. 5 Likes 1 Share |

All i highlighted is what happened before the war, and im not interested in this so called Biafra agitation or your ijaw movement.

TonyeBarcanista:The biafran agenda of ojukwu was supported by SS groups in the akwa-cross area. His deputy was definitely from there. Anioma is one, sorry. With one political and socio-economic agenda.You cannot divorce asaba from anioma. Of course, the general igbo identity is still a controversy there, but it dosen't affect their common anioma identity. I really don't know how receptible they are to biafra , some of them want it, some of them don't, but they sure as hell are not going for any phantom niger-delta republic. The ogoni wants a seperate nation. That is as clear as day. 11 Likes |

Afam4eva:Oga, I expected you to have known better. I am an incurable believer in the indivisibility of the corporate entity called Nigeria. Having made the foregoing statement, I also find it repugnant that the unity of Nigeria would only subsist over the institutionalised marginalisation of the Igbos. Biafra is a consequence of unconscionable injustice and neglect. So get to the root causes of the Biafra insurrection before apportioning blames to people exercising their inalienable rights. You don't smack a child and also take away its right to cry... |

Kanu and his IPOB goons are wasting their time. As long as the Igbo political elite have access to the feeding trough called national cake Biafra is a dead case. Ekwerenmadu will personally shoot and kill anyone that messes with his access to the Commonwealth. The will of some commoners might be enormous but without a political elite I don't see them successful. 1 Like |

TonyeBarcanista: Tonye thank you o for setting the records straight for him. As a matter of fact the Biafran soldiers committed atrocities against the Ijaw communities during the war so much so that young men escaped accross the distributatries of the Niger to enlist with the Nigerian Army. This action is still celebrated till date called ''Go to Niger''. They took part in the liberation of their communities from the Biafran soldiers. It was a forceful annexation which did not work .And by the way,if it happened again, we will do the same. We are not and have never been cowards. As a matter of fact our chieftancy titles and family arrangements are feudal in nature. Based on war canoe houses. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
