you see am....."EVERYBODY HATES IGBO MANTRA"....a lot of damage has been done to you guys mental system..it will take a divine intervention for any correction to occur.
Let me start by saying you have a slave mentality.
Not everyone hates Igbo, I don't know the tribe you are from, ask Askari dokubo or ganiyu Adams or Fredrick faseun and countless others they have no hatred for igbo's we are too different from you we have nothing in common
You can remain in your fruitless union with arewa we want out, but don't think our people in the ss region the anioma's will have anything to do with you

What do you mean by if they don't speak up?

They have always been speaking and the voice is clearly Igbophobic, one Nigerian and Anti Biafra.

The problem is that our people had either decided to to listen to their voice or had decided to delusionally misinterprete what they are hearing.

Visit Urhobo towns and hear them out.
Or just join Urhobo Facebook pages.

How hard is this?

I don't know much about the Urhobo, because their land does not touch my own.

Those who refuse to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it.
Perhaps Nnamdi Kalu and his crew should go and read proper books on history starting with the Nigerian/ biafran. And not the distorted IPOB version or the romanticised version from Achebe,Adichie and Co.
I am not even talking about the war. I am talking about the events,politics,attitudes and grievances which led to it.
More than anything, it was the breaking down of the regions into states that was the final straw.
That move by gowon essentially gave in to minority yearnings, they took the oil in present rivers state off the hands of the eastern region.
In other words, it was karma.Chicken coming home to roost. The medicine administered to the western region was applied to the eastern region

What trash are you talking about?

Mid westerners left the Western region through a referendum. The Oba of Bini led the revolt following his ill treatment at the hands of Yorubas, why blame Zik and Igbos for it?
http://www.waado.org/NigerDelta/EthnicHistories/EgharevbaLectures/Fifth-Omoigui.htm

Must you guys blame Ndiigbo and Zik for Awolowo political immaturity that alienated the mid western minorities as well as alienated Akintola, setting the stage for Mid western referendum and power tussle between Awolowo and Akintola?

What's wrong with you guys.

Urhobo was not even part of the Eastern region, so I don't understand the relevance of this post to this thread.

Igbos:


They say that they know that they are landlocked so they need the land of Kogi and other forcefully attached States to accommodate biafrans currently resident on Nigeria.

But were they landlocked just last week?

So they didn't take the landlocked situation into consideration before the chest beating?

Their excuse is very lame.

Delta central senator, Ovie Omo-Agege has emphatically stated that Urhobo people are not part of Biafra. Omo-Agege in a statement released on Wednesday stated that the Urhobo nation is part of Nigeria and not interested in seceding or being part of Biafra.

The statement read;

With the deluge of concerns being raised by my people, it has become necessary to state with absolute clarity as the Senator for the Urhobo Nation in the 8th Senate of our Federal Republic of Nigeria that the Urhobo Nation has never been, is not and does not wish to be part of Biafra.

Whereas Article 1 (2) of the United Nations Charter recognises the “principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples”, this, obviously, does not grant any group the right to arbitrarily usurp the self-determination right of others. MASSOB, IPOB or whatever ethnic-leaning group may have the right to agitate for self-determination for the people they represent.

But that right would be encroaching and trampling severely and irresponsibly on the rights of other ethnic groups if, without consultations or any consensus whatsoever, they (MASSOB, IPOB or whatever ethnic-leaning group) decide to forcefully include others in their self-determination agenda. The Urhobo Nation totally rejects such unforgivable disrespect that touches on our very existence. Indeed, the unilateral inclusion of the Urhobo Nation in the flag or map of Biafra is an abhorrent, and condemnable threat to our people. It is an unacceptable attempt to suppress our own right to self-determination. We will never tolerate it and it must stop forthwith. We are cautioning against this trend of arbitrariness and disregard for the rights of others because we know that such a ‘conquest mentality’ has never promoted sustainable peace in human history.

The Urhobo Nation believes in the unity of the Nigeria Federation. Our preference, as a major strategic partner in our Federation, is to work hard to correct its imperfections, not to break it up into bits and pieces. I will continue to work with my great and highly respected colleagues of Ndigbo extraction and other parts of our country in the National Assembly to perfect our Union, not break it. In all, this is our simple and firm position: We are Urhobos and Nigerians, not Biafrans.

In ur dream, keep going round minority group begging, whilst u avoid the real question of referendum.

Soon the foreigners will come and organise it for u, whilst they deploy UN troops to calm the frackass dat will soon erupt in the Zoo.

That's our one big problem in this country, we keep seeing some segment/fragment as a minority same reason the northerners laid claim on Niger Delta oil!

My point is, there could be a biafra irrespective of Majority or Minority if there is unity among all states and tribes from the SS/SE!

Hahahahaha Biafra died since 1970. it can't resurrect. we south-south are here to kill it more if it try to resurrect.

You will only kill yourself.

You will be trapped in Nigeria post Igbo secession, a Nigeria that would be more than 70% a Muslim country, a country where the North would constitute more than 70% of the population.

Where your resource control fantasy will remain a fantasy forever where your chances of influencing any decision at NASS would even become more difficult, as the Northern percentage by representation would even increase there with Igbo exodus. Not that is any of the Igbo man business. We would be busy building our own country to even notice.

The shame is on you.

Delta state and Urhobo was not and has never been part of Biafra.
So where is all this 'we are not Biafra coming from?.
It is ridiculous and absurd to deny what you were never part of.
The Modern Biafra is solely for Igbo people,other tribes are not welcome so they can take several seats and stop disturbing people with fooolish comments.

Why are Iboes dragging other tribes into their Biafra disillusionment... No one is envious of being Ibo, a people with no values and integrity,are definitely bound to fail.

Go read history, so you know where we all are coming from, Biafra is Iboes and Iboes only, only a mad man will join this confused entity tagged Biafra.

Go make your Biafra with your Ibo brothers and sisters, no one wants to join you.
