I've always said it...anything Edo being in Biāfra is a waste of our precious time. IPOB should as a matter of urgency remove chekri and sobo from its maps! Even the Rukwo should be considered for removal as well...we can't bkos of the Eastern Rukwo who are a bit accommodative of Igbos tie ourselves down with the Western Rukwo who despise us.
I don't particularly enjoy it when inconsequential tribes like the Chekri and the Sobo make noise before us

Amarabae:
pls I have cautioned him but don't you try to insult Igbos.
In money, Nnewi alone have more rich people than the whole of itsekiri tribe. So don't go there.

yom2:
then after removing how many are u people?

YelloweWest:

I don't care what non igbo call ikwerre. The must important question is whether ikwerre call themselves igbo?? The answer is NO!

the referendum that will determine biafra will also give neighbouring tribes the option to join biafra or not. I can bet you that No single tribe be it ikwerre. Ibibio. Efic. Urhobo. Ijaw. Etc will opt to join.

That's the truth

Amarabae:
You are contradicting yourself, sir.
Referendum should be for those who want it, you don't force it on people who never asked for it.
Enough of these insults from minorities, leave them alone.

backtosender:
I swear I don't know how nnewi people get so rich is unbelievable...right from time immemorial sir luwis ojukwu was one of the richest man in Nigeria when these tribes where still hunting antelope in the bush....he was the only person that lend Nigeria R Royce for queen of England move around...till today they still very rich there is no place in Africa that will have a great number of multi billionaires concentrated in one village is highly unlikely

Amarabae:
I told Igbos something like this, they abused me.
you can't include people's land in Ipob map without consulting them.
and don't talk about referendum, they did not ask for one.
stop embarrasing Igbos please.
I will only support an Igbo only country.

ipobarecriminals:
ipobexposed, the land grabber. chase them comot

Misterdhee1:

You have no right to define 'what bondage' is for other people. That your people are in bondage in Nigeria, doesn't translate to other people being in bondage. Na una sabi why una dey bondage. Maybe your illusional biafra would solve your 'bondage problem'. Best of luck!

obiezed:

Then that means you support ALL igbos to be a country of their own,does that not include Igbo in delta and rivers state??,just asking

nextstep:
I know I will get insulted for this, but I will say it anyway.
If Ndi-Igbo want their own country, it should be limited to Anambra (minus Onitsha*), Enugu, Imo, Abia, and Ebonyi.

Yes, people will say: what of Anioma in Delta (from Ika to Aniocha, Oshimili down to Ndokwa)? Igbos are not indigenous to these areas, though there has been migration and settlement over the last 2 centuries. Sadly, I know some misguided Anioma people who consider themselves Igbo (they are in for a rude surprise when they are labeled as non-core-Igbo). What about Rivers and Akwa-Ibom? Cross River and Bayelsa nko? Well, Igbos are not indigenous to these states either, so how can they be dragged into Biafra just like that?

*Onitsha has its origins from Bini people, but like Lagos, and Asaba, Igbos are claiming it as theirs (or at best, no-man's land**). Claiming where you migrated to as your own is bad form, especially when those you met are still around. What of all the industry built in Onitsha? Because we don't want to fight too much, we'll let you keep Onitsha since Benin hasn't exerted its influence or developed it since time immemorial.

**At the rate Igbos are in China, I won't be surprised if in 50 years, they start claiming parts of China as no-man's land!

And worse is trying to misguide people on their heritage so they will be the critical mass for your purposes.

Fire away, I wore my flame-retardent underwear today

These threads with some tribes saying "remove us from Biafran map"


When they put you people in 'Nigerian Map', what did you do?

willibounce1:


Don't mind the ipods. They blame their failure in life to refusal to give them biafrua.d. The real igbos who are doing well are not bothered about the scam called biafrua.d. Only the ones that have failed and lost all hopes are crying biafrua.d as if that would solve their poverty.

Fremancipation:
So many igbos here on nairaland has voiced the same opinion that itshekiri, urohbo, and ijaw should be left alone. IPOB Needs redraw that map and focus on people that truely want freedom and forget those that chose to remain in bondage.

Nebuchadnezar:
[s][/s]

you're so daft not to know that politicians are after their own interests which affects poor man.
yes the bold you mentioned want to be free from Nigeria and better their lives so the opinion of 0.005 % of our politicians and so called igbo intellectuals don't matter.
hope you know that traditional rulers are now joining the movement
what of soludo Utomi and co that paid a courtesy visit to nnamdi kanu?
those people are they touts too?
keep deceiving yourself dude
truth is talking

Progressive01:
See ya face. If I slap you ehn!

Afam4eva:

I was actually going to ignore this plea by this Itshekiri group until i saw the last paragraph. I'm not sure of which Igbo day they're referring to but if they're talking about the Igbo day that held in Asaba some 2 years ago then that group must be made up f moronic dingbats. When did Asaba become itsekiri land bikonu. Like i said, i hope that's not what they're referring to.

Like i keep saying there's no oficial Biafran map. people are just drawing maps all over the place to massage their personal utopian dreams. It's not in any way official. Even IPOB is not an official group. It's just one of theose groups. An official group is one which is setup by the powers that be in the east and that is when the major political leaders who are currently elected come to support the Biafan course.

Fremancipation:
Let me use this opportunity to say this.

Nobody is forcing any group to join Biafra. IPOB released their manifesto in February explaining that Biafra is a nation of choice and every group in the SS will be given a chance to vote to be a part of it and also have the right to leave in the future if they think Biafra is not for them.


But that thread never made it to front page while this one did.

erico2k2:

So those who chose not to go with your ideology are in bondage right ? ?

Sarah20A:
e can pain

Amarabae:

remove their land from Ipob map and stop embarrasing Igbos pls.

Fremancipation:


Yes!!!!! they are in bondage.

Harriet tubman once said " I freed so many slaves but I could have freed more if they knew that they are slaves". South South minorites will remain nigerian slaves and with their diminishing oil and low human development index, the future is going to be horrible for them in Nigeria.

ldpele:
when ayiri collect small change from FG, give olu small, na so them go dey mumu, he wanted to try it with we the ijaw recently, but it was obvious to him that GONE ARE THOSE DAYS, they are no match to the ijaws anymore.

Progressive01:
Okay, you win. Oya goan play with your friends while I go drink some beer. Gist later.

wirinet:


I am surprised that you are not intelligent enough to understand that Biafra is a political problem and can only be realized by politicians. What 25million touts and jobless youths cannot achieved can be achieved by 10 respected Igbo politicians and intellectuals. Senator Ekweremadu, Okonjo Iweala, Oby Ezekwelisi, Chinamanda Aduche, Linda Ikeji, Gov. Wike, P-Square, Obi of Onitsha can achieve Biafra far more that IPOB, MASSOB and all other Biafra organizations added together.
Ordinary 2 face Idibia called for a protest and the Buhari administration was shaking and had to beg ( maybe bribe) him to step down.

So because Pat Utomi and Charles Soludo went to visit Kanu and plead for his release means they support Biafra? I tire for you peoples thinking faculty. Have you read anywhere that they support Biafra?

salford:

Ever heard of the word allies
Did England fight Germany alone during world war 2?
Without the allies, Germany would have bombed England off the face of the earth.
So don't expect the great itsekiri tribe to slug it out alone.
It's not by force to lump others into your dream of a landlocked biafra country.

kYjelly2:


Their failure in life

See this bastard.

How many years have igbos ruled this nation

The say an igbo man will never be president, but what have all you bastards accomplished for this country

No electricity, no heath care, nothing and you are calling someone a failure.

You don't know that Nigeria is the failure.

This is why, I choose not to live with you bastards, real failures by every account, statistic and metric available, bastards.

basisop:
Civil war with who? I'm sure they are not referring to the Igbos. The youths should mind their provocative utterances.
