TonyeBarcanista: Tell them pls! Nobody gives a hoot about him in the Akwa/Cross community. No monuments erected in his honour, no memorials, nothing whatsoever. Ojukwu only lured him with promises of being 2nd in command in a new country and he stupidly followed. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Sweetlemon:How many akwaibom or crossriverians have monuments erected in their honour, let alone a seccessionist? The Nigerian govt would have discouraged such outrightly. They didn't even want to give him a national burial. The politics of the civil war after-math that made some people deny their igbo heritage is enough to remove any memory of biafra from the akwa-cross area. 5 Likes 1 Share |

CSTR2:ANIOMA is not an ethnic group. It is a term for people in Delta North. Asaba is part of Anioma and they supported Biafra but the Ikas and others don't. As for Effiong, even his own people are not proud of him. They are only happy that he surrendered. He was absolutely on his own as Ojukwu's 2ic 2 Likes 1 Share |

TonyeBarcanista:Of course, anioma is not an ethnic group. They are a subsets of a bigger ethnic group. If Ika did not SIGNIFICANTLY support the biafran agenda, then why did murtala muhammed carry out a spree of vengeful anti-biafran cold blooded murders in the part of Nigeria and most parts of anioma.? It is not totally correct to say that IKA overwhelmingly supported or supports biafra, it is also very wrong to say they didn't. 6 Likes |

Am happy all of you are talking about Biafra. Anybody can say what they wanna say, as long as 80% of keke riders in my city all have one form of Biafra flag or sticker on their machines, who sigh. Look at this picture, 2 out of 3 Keke drivers put Biafran flag or sticker on their machines. and also check out that flag hoisted somewhere, it means the spirit of Biafra has awoken, it is everywhere, people now rock Biafran caps and wears around, even past police and army check points. In Igbo we say "onye kwe, chi ya ekwere" - "if you say yes, you god will say yes". Peace 4 Likes

The fact is that the Igbo people have come to identify themselves with what Biafra symbolize. Considering events that happened in the history of our country, the Igbo people think Biafra is the solution for their problem with Nigeria. Even other tribes in the Old eastern region now identify with this ideology but silently for fear of unsettling the Federal Government. It is for this reason that the federal government will not easily support a referendum. As those tribes on the fence will easily vote YES to Biafra. But what is the REAL SOLUTION? 1. We should switch to regional/Provincial system [5 regions - West, East, Savanna, North West and North East]. This is because the current state structure is divisive, unsustainable, and does not promote economic cooperation. 2. Lets practice representative democracy where we will have (a) Federal Governing council with five members one from each region with equal powers {No vice President}. (b) Regional Governing Council where members come from each constituting state with equal powers. [eg: West with six states will have six members] (c) Crap the NASS structure and create a People's council with each state providing 3 members [more like the current senate system]. 3. Change the ideology of security/law enforcement agents to see citizens as stake holders and not enemies. Military personals on civic duty should be civil and appear on less military attire without GUNS [Guns are instrument of intimidation and you should not intimidate your citizens]. 4. Constitutional reforms and international agreements should pass through a nation wide referendum. this makes the citizens involved and prevents mortgaging the country against the will of the people. If all these are implemented, you will never hear of any secessionist movement from anywhere in Nigeria. Majority of Nigerians [Including Igbo people] want a strong, dynamic Nigeria that practice representative democracy and respects the wills and aspirations of her people. Lajet: 5 Likes |

I am Igbo..nd I am sincerely tired of people or other tribes talking down/thrash abt my tribe... I don't knw why some of my Igbo people drag SS into Igbo matter... If the (SS) say that the have nothing to do with Igbos, let them be naaa... We keep making this people fell excessively Important ![]() The facts are always the fact...arguments don't change fact.. If a community in SS speaks Igbo, dresses likes Igbos, bear Igbo names, automatically the are Igbo people...we don't need to argue over it... Afam4eva nd co, the girl from Akwa Ibom has told u that no Igbo indigenous group is in Akwa Ibom, why not let that be, it wouldn't change the fact -if there are Indigenous Igbos there ?, it now seems as if u are begging them to accept that Igbos are indigenous in some of their community- this is highly illogical, uncalled for nd silly... We true Igbos (by true Igbos I mean people who have fully accepted our lovely tribe without arguments) are not interested in anybody who doesn't want to be part of us ![]() "Biri kam biri".. Stop giving this SS minorities reasons to keep talking sh!t abt the Igbo tribe...Leave them alone.... Everyday dem d create topic to tell Igbos hw the are not part of u, or how the hate Igbos... 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Nigerians are fond of giving priority to the wrong things. Focusing on symptoms and forgetting the cause. The modern biafran agenda i believe is a form of agitation or revolution against poor national governance. It is just one of the many symptoms of a poorly governed state. Just like me, you may not agree with its format, but that is what it is , a revolution against backward governance. It is left for the Nigerian govt to pick up the gauntlet and prove that Nigeria is not a zoo and true development can happen. 2 Likes 1 Share |

AnakinSkywalker:These people like opening old wounds. My maternal grandfather was head of war canoe house as at that time, he told me few stories which weren't pleasant. My paternal grandma, my dad and uncles also said lots of unpleasant stories as regards the uncivil war that was due to Ojukwu's Biafra occupation. These stories were from experience they had and witnessed. Biafran agitators should be guided. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Why majority of SS people don't really favour the idea of joining the Biafran struggle, it's not just because of the 'igbo wan come drink our oil excuse', like many always want people to believe, It's because, after what we have gone through in Nigeria, With the hausa/fulani North having a majority population that only needs a few votes from the South to win the Presidential elections, We can't agitate for a country in which we will face the same prospects again, We can't be a majority in Nigeria for years and then wake up now to agitate for a new Country, we will still be minorities in. 2 Likes 1 Share |
