As for the double standards, nobody is agitating for Niger Delta republic yet and no non-igbo speaking group has come out to reject it unlike Biafra. Timing is everything. My post is just informing prophets of doom that a country formed by the non-igbo speaking parts of the south south can thrive successfully.
It is an open secret that some parts of aniomas deny that they are Igbos. So they need to decide themselves where they want to be.
And by the way, what has the Igbos achieve that minorities should start trembling and prostrating when they see an Igbo man? Has the Igbo man transform his land to London and Dubai yet? Is the East not as underdeveloped as the other parts of the country. Has the Igbo man won a Nobel price? Has any Igbo man made it to Forbe's billionaires list? Is every Igbo man a billionaire? Please, come n tell me what an Igbo man has achieved that no one else has done? One thing you guys don't know is that most of us have stayed in the East, so you guys cannot come here and paint a different picture for us.
Every ethnic group has that minority at the periphery who don't identify strongly with rest of their kits and kind. But then Igbo must be different and must be talked about because they are special. Even the small urhobo has okpe and isoko who reject the urhobo tag. how much more if urhobo were to be the size of Igbo. The idoma/igede/agatu is there. ijaw/nembe/ogbia is there. Ibibio/annang/efik/ekoi , ogoni/eleme is there etc. These ones I mentioned reside in one state and manage to reject sharing identity with those they see daily. you can't compare them to Igbo's carved into several states. Even among some of those in Ika who deny their igboness none reject Biafra.
The reason why nobody will take you serious is because of your unbelievable double standards. You claim Igbos want to annex you while including other ethnic groups that share nothing with you in your audio Niger delta republic. you claim Igbo's want to dominate you while stylishly adding some Igboland into your fantasy republic. You have learnt how to use your shout of Igbo domination as a camouflage to steal delta Igbo lands. Everyone knows how the Delta state creation movement of the old delta province included Urhobo/itshekiris/isoko and ijaw forcefully attempted to annex ukwuani into their Delta state. Itsay shagay even argued that Ukwuani were more "comfortable being with them" than their Anioma brothers. They needed ukwuani apparently because of land and natural resources while arguing that the other Igbo's should be kicked into Anambra or better still remain in Edo state who they share affinity with (as if it wasn't urhobos who share affinity with Edo)
Most of you think that the fact that you are called minority gives you the right to deny members of majority groups their own right, thus you have weaponized your minority status.
Anyone who hears you mention of how Igbo's want to do this and that will think you have heaven and earth to offer but some of you need Igbo's more than Igbo's need you.
I used to criticize KANU for adding none Igbo's into Biafra until I learnt one thing -a paradox where the one thing that can make the ethnic groups of the Niger delta to join Biafra is Igbo and the one thing that can make them not to join Biafra is Igbo. The vocal minority among the Niger delta tribes who have personal issues with some Igbo's and are therefore jealous and hateful, usually use the fear of Igbo dominance to scare other tribes against Igbo. But the silent majority among the Niger Delta ethnic groups know they don't get along as individual tribes in Niger delta rather the only thing that binds them together is the Igbo. urhobo for instance is hated by all the tribes in Delta for their domineering attitude. Ijaw hates them, itshekiri hates them, they don't get along with anioma. Even the urhobo themselves complain about how ijaw try to expand/grab land in the region and how they regard Niger Delta struggle as ijaw struggle, leading to ijaw getting most amnesty programme slots.
The Ibibio efik are not different but I will not spend time on them.
My point is that you vocal minority have mastered a way of bullying pro Biafrans silent majority among your people. you vocal minority know how to attack Igbo's using your minority status as a weapon of emotional blackmail against Igbo's on Biafran issue. You know quite well that silent majority of Niger delta want Biafra. That is why you lots shout down the idea of referendum. I have seen folks who tell me "we no wan talk now because Biafran agitation never get head". Two of the present senators from Bayelsa come from a family that fought on Biafra side during Biafra war. They won't show their support openly but when you hear the vocal minority talk you will think Biafra is abomination in these areas.
You have no choice. As far as the world is concerned only IPOB is agitating for referendum now. You either campaign for your urhobo tribe and urhobo alone to join Biafra/or reject Biafra. If you reject Biafra we let you go because we won't gain a single thing from you. trust me.Just leave other tribes to decide for themselves.
Everybody will regard you as a drunkard if all you do is to type about Niger delta republic when ever IPOB makes progress on Biafra. The world only count people who stand up to demand what they want not deluded folks who can't even talk on the street about what the claim they want. You have succeeded in Blackmailing emotionally weak folks like pazienza but tough people like us will always be here to cure your type of madness which involves dragging other ethnic groups who don't want you while accusing Igbo's of same.
Knowledge base economy is what people are clamouring for and not natural resources base.
I personally don't even want the niger delta to join biafra, it shouldnt be part of Biafra.
The Niger delta is currently a confuse entity of its own.... Adding them them to biafra is like creating another mini Nigeria which everyone is running from

Please tell them. They are still sleeping until the northerners suck their oil away by then their eyes will open. They should let the south west be giving them bad ideas.
All I see is empty boasts with no strategy to back it up. Biafra has no one. Nations don't back you up for emotional reasons. They back you up based on mutual interests. You must have something to offer them for their support. What do we have to offer Germany, Israel or Trump/USA today for their support? We haven't even done our homework. We have fifth columnists as Governors, whose allegiance is to seat of Caliphate in Sokoto and not to the Igbo grassroot town unions. If Germany wants to dialogue with Igbo leaders today, who do you think they would invite? Surprise surprise, our Governors who we have no control over. Go figure!
Just because you decided to submerge yourself in emotionalism and not pragmatism, does not mean the rest of the world are going to change their pragmatic approach to things. You see Ojukwu made same mistake, thinking the civilized world would support Biafra because we were a Christian nation under attack by an Islamic powered Nigeria. Turned out the west are more interested in their economic interests. Saudi Arabia is a Muslim countr, yet very good allies of USA. Germany was part of NATO that ransacked Ghaddafi progressive Libya just to plant terrorists in Benghazi who would destroy Libya just to allow France access to Libya crude oil wealth. These nations are not driven by emotions, they are driven by cold hard interests which are usually economic ones. So if you think Germany, Israel or USA would support Biafra when you have not done your own homework and have nothing to offer in return other than to go to radio station and be shouting "Umu Chineke" or be running around SE streets with Biafra flags, while economic potentials of Eastern region die daily from bad leadership at state and economic level, then you need a reality check.
WE SEE THESE PEOPLE EVERYDAY.
I CANNOT NEVER ALLOW FACELESS MISCREANT TO COME HERE AND DECIEVE EVERYBODY THAT EDO AND DELTA ARE ANYTHING SHORT OF BIAFRA TERRITORY.
WEN WE HAVE FULLY COMMITED MEMBERS FROM THAT STATE AND I SEE THEM EVERYDAY ON YOUTUBE (NEW ONE) PREACHING THE GOSPEL.
BIAFRA IS A CONFEDERATION, U CAN RULE YOUR IGBOLAND AND CONTROL YOUR RESOURCES AND OTHERS WILL DO SAME.
The grassroots are not under influence of Nigerian government. If you go about it discretely. You would get a response devoid of greedy Nigerian politicians interest. If you get a negative interest, discard them as well. Work with SE, that would be good enough.
You discarded my personal investigative voyage on these minorities easily. But these are how the advanced white men do. They do underground grassroots research. Those are not just personal experiences, they are investigative/probing expeditions. Check out the below similar probe by the British using few British bodies in Eastern region to gauge the response of Eastern minorities towards Biafra when the Biafran war was about breaking out.
"In an authoritative and detailed memorandum on the background, cause and consequences of the Nigerian civil war issued in November 1968 by more than sixty British subjects, including Sir Robert Stapleton, the last British governor of the Eastern region( 1959-60), it was concluded that of the 37 percent of the population which they estimated that minority group represented in Biafra, only 10% would favour continued association with the federal government". The. New York review of Books, Volume 14,Number 8. April 23, 1970
How did you think the British got this info? They didn't need any Referendum or questionnaire, they did investigative journalism. Went to the grassroots in those places to gauge the people response.
This was necessary because Ojukwu himself knew that even though some politicians in Eastern minorities area and a significant percent of the grassroot were against Biafra, he also knew that the majority were for Biafra or at least would choose Biafra over Nigeria, if those were the only options on the table. So when Gowon and Minorities elites in Nigerian government were accusing Ndiigbo and Biafra of forcefully coercing Eastern minorities into Biafra, Ojukwu and Effiong gleefully asked for a UN and OAU supervised referendum to be conducted in the minority areas of Biafra, if Nigeria truly believed the lie of Biafra forcefully holding minority areas they were propagating.
Gowon and Awolowo armed with this British intelligence report I posted, refused to accept the option of a referendum on the minorities area, they knew they would lose the referendum and would have no propaganda to run along with thereafter.
But this was in 1967, once they seized power, the Minorities Nigerian leaders made sure they slowly planted Igbophobic mindsets into their people, their leaders who were Igbophilic were tagged enemies of the people and made to abdicate throne or become Igbophobic. Asari grandfather being pro Biafra refused to become Igbophobic and instead decided to abdicate his Buguma throne. Asari speaks extensively of this during his interviews. Igbophillic Kogbara who was the natural Ogoni leader was subsumed under Igbophobic Saro Wiwa who was powered by the FG to become the new Ogoni leader.
Things have changed in the minorities area. Just like the British didn't need a referendum to know that the minorities grassroots on the majority would have rejected Nigeria for Biafra, IPOB if they are wise, would also not need a referendum to know that the grassroots vibe in Eastern minorities areas today is a very anti Biafra one and that a referendum would lead to an overwhelming defeat for Biafra.
We must know and do better unless IPOB like the Nigerian government in 1967 are more interested in propaganda than on the truth, I don't understand why we must continue pretending like referendum is the only means to gauge the Igbophobic vibes emanating from SS. It smacks of self deceit and would never help us.
stop evading questions and leave ipob out of this discussion. I asked if you were the one fighting for Biafra and your Method of gauging support turns out negative, will you continue with the agitation or abort? pls give me a clear and simple answer.

Mr man, stop making a fool of yourself, you’re not Igbo, so you had to log into one of you numerous moniker here and post this crap so as to make it seem Igbo wants minorities in Biafra at all cost. IPOB does not speak for Igbo, neither does that useless organization represent the majority of Igbo views. In your bid to further sow the seed of more hatred towards Igbo/Biafra, a mark of your igbophobic character, you foolishly even went further to adding the igbophobic Edo, as part of Biafra. Edo was NEVER part of Biafra as it was in the defunct midwest region. Thesame Edo that joined Nigerian army in killing the Igboid groups of the Midwest region during the pogrom of 1966/1967. You can only fool the undiscerning folks here. Have you no shame and life, besides pretending to be Igbo? Your real life/ethnic group must really suck for you to spend this much time pretending to be what you’re not.

We are not begging or holding them. Remember, nothing is set in stone forever. Igbo got the population, human and natural resource plus a vibrant diaspora connection to become a great nation. We still offer the choice of Biafra to them. History is on our side. Kapish!
Yes you are begging us. If I may ask,why are you offering us Biafra when we have told you several times in plain language that we are not interested? The answer is simple, you can't survive without us,you need our oil and sea to survive. We know your plans, may God punish all of you.

. The Igbos silent majority very well knows that Nnamdi KANU is not worth calling a leader, only those with punctured brain sees him as one. Just as d other minorities hates the Urohobos, Ibibios the same can be said of Ngwas, Bende, Nsukas, Wawas, Mbaise etc too. Why can't for goodness sake you lot agitate for your 5 known eastern states? If any group feel interested they will join but definetly under loud mouthed coward like KANU. Add up the entire land mass of the SE you will see it just a tiny fraction bigger than Akwa Ibom n Cross River, why do you think they have any interest in Kanus leaking mouth Biafra. Channel all your energy to the 5 SE states and stay off the 4kin bizness of others, there is nothing you know and have seen that we don't know and haven't seen too

U ARE RETARDED AFONJA.
U ARE TALKING ABOUT THINGS U KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AND PEOPLE DAT DONT SEND YOUR PEOPLE.
ALL THE STUFF U TALK ABOUT IS JUNK AND USELESS.
IGBOS ALL SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE AND SHARE BORDER, IBIBIO AND URHOBO DONT SHARE BORDER OR SPEAK SIMILAR LANGUAGE.
THEY NEVER MET, BUT THEY BOTH MET THE IGBOS AND IT IS THE SAME FOR ALL THE GROUPS IN BIAFRA.
IGBO IS WAT THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON.
IGBO SHARE BORDER WITH ALL OF THEM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL OF THEM.
Listen and listen very well, the Igbos are the most fraudulent set of people on earth. What is it you lots can conjure, thousands live in my state and they can pass for one of us The only message I have for you and you coward mentor, tune in everyday live on FM stations in Uyo and you will get a feel of our disgust for that coward you call KANU.
