Every Ijaw & So Called Niger Deltans, Come In Here. Another Eye Opening Facts. by AburiBiafra: 1:06pm On May 26, 2020 |
My name is Engr. Keribo Minakobiribo. I'm from Buguma in Tom-George compound but I grew up in Tombia Kingdom. The essence of disclosing my identity is to prove to Mr Asari Dokubo of Buguma, and Mrs Annikio Briggs of Abonnema, that I also, am a son of ijaw land. Once, I was tender but like the saying goes that "the young shall grow ", I must speak and defend my region in its true identity as given by the Opu Tamuno in heaven and not the ways of the British foreigners and the invading Fulanis. My respected brother and sister of Ijaw nation, it appears to me that you and others like you want to continue to keep us in the WILL of the strangers of our land that our ancestors knew nothing about. Mr Asari Dokubo once postulated that Ijaw are more Biafran than others in the Biafran enclave, and we believed him. Madame Annikio agreed with him because during the days of his agitation for the Biafra National Council, you never came up to refute him in that regard. You never agreed that Abonnema that is in Ijaw is more of Niger Delta than Biafra but one thing led to another and Mr Asari is on his own out of the scene. Then Nnamdi Kanu came barely some days ago to enlighten humanity with many historical facts and figures why we are more Biafra than Niger Delta then you came up with your refutals and criticisms capable of causing confusion among the young generation of Ijaw that Abonnema is not Biafra. Madam, I, Engr Keribo totally disagree with you, and insist that Ijaw is Biafra and not Niger Delta. In like manner, Abonnema is Biafra, and not Niger Delta. Recall that the Bight of Biafra has been in existence all the way since 1525 to the middle of the 18th century when Bonny emerged as the leading slave trading port in the Bight of Biafra, thus out-pacing the earlier dominant slave ports of Elem Kalabari also known as New calabar. In 1881 Bakana was founded, 1882 Abonnema was founded, 1884 Buguma was founded, and Tombia was founded in 1885 at its present settlement. The Okirikas were existing since the 17th century. I mentioned but just few, and according to history, the king of Britain in 1875 (even far into 1914 amalgamation of the North and South) sent his representative as a Consul and the Kings and Chiefs signed an agreement and we were then known as Biafra. So, how come today that we don't bear our ancestral identity again, rather, that which the same Britain foisted on us having seen the potency of our unity with our Igbo brothers? They gave us that insulting name Niger Delta. Not only that they also taught the Fulani how to sustain the injury and the evil divide -and -rule strategy. In May 27, 1965, Rivers State was created to cause division among us. They called us Port Harcourt ( the name of a man who was a sexual pervert). As if that were not enough, they added Niger Delta garbage. What an insult to the memory of our great ancestors! I might be a small boy in your sight but as long as breath runs in my nostrils I will not allow myself to be labeled by the same foreigners that hate me. I am an ijaw and I am a Biafran that God the creator made my ancestors to be which they passed unto me. I don't know when the conference took place but it is the deliberate effort of Mr Willink of Britain to divide and weaken the potency of our unity with our Igbo brothers who share same cultural heritage with us. Madam, Annikio, do you tie two pieces of wrapper on most important cultural or traditional outings? If yes, so are the igbo and the rest of them in the Biafra enclave. So how come you are saying we are not one people? Fulani are occupying our territories in our fishing ponds and riverine areas and in our mangrove swamps with strategies to fulfil the ancient agenda of 'dipping the Koran in the Atlantic Ocean' to facilitate the final conquest, and you didn't say anything in that regard rather, you easily come on social media to refute and make nonsense of all the verifiable geographical and historical facts and figures that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu makes to shame our oppressors. Madam, your elders are doing this generation great disservice by obstructing historical evidence of who we are as a people. Madam Briggs, we are both from Ijaw despite that I'm from Buguma but if I come to your compound today in Abonnema and say that you are no more Annikio Briggs but 'Aisha', how will you feel? Won't you do something to change the imposed name 'Aisha', and revert to your proper identity? Well, despite whatever your reaction may be, as for me, I am a Biafran. Whether Tombia or Buguma, we are older than that garbage - Niger Delta - given to us by our enemies. Madam, in what has happened so far with the Ogoni Clean -Up project , will you say that justice has been done to the memory of Major Adaka Boro, and the Ogoni 9? What about the underdevelopment being witnessed even right in the heart of Abonnema while the Fulani are in far away North sucking our oil to better their lots? Gov. Nyesom Wike is today battling alone with the Fulani that are coming in their droves to take over our land, what have you said or done so far to show solidarity with him? I found nothing concrete of your efforts in that regard not even on your facebook wall but you easily find it pleasurable to attack Nnamdi Kanu. Madam, with all due respect to your personality, it is too bad that you could allow this hypocrisy to continue to exist till this day. Madam, may I remind you that Mr Frank Opigo who was once a Principal in Okirika Grammar School, is from Bayelsa State. Before the Ahiara declaration of Biafra, the Old Eastern Consultative Assembly members came together to meet over the name the new republic would bear, then Mr Frank Opigo reminded Gen. Ojukwu that "we are all Biafrans", and that was how they adopted that name again. Now if you accept Bayelsa where Mr Frank came from as Ijaw then why is Abonnema of Rivers State not Biafra? Meanwhile Bayelsa was carved out from Rivers State just few years ago. Madam, the ancestors of Bakana Buguma and Abonnema once settled in one location in the 17-18th century before they separated for their present settlements. So, are you saying now that Mr Asari Dokubo was wrong when he said "Ijaw is more Biafra than any other tribes?" Moreover, madam, what is absolutely wrong if we fight together and Ijaw become a confederated region in Biafra nation? Isn't that safer for our region than living with the oppressors in Nigeria ? Tamuno bless Ijaw, Tamuno bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Tamuno bless Biafra. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Written by Engr Keribo Minakobiribo Wisdom aka DODORIMABIAFRA (Izon man). 6 Likes |

Written by Tari Nemi on facebook: AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL IZON ELDERS WHO WOULDN'T LET US BREATHE AS WE AGITATE FOR BIAFRA [b]Your generation tried and failed. Now our generation want to try yet your generation won't allow us try. [/b]Many of you with the exception of few like Mama Annkio Briggs (even though we still disagree on opinion) are not doing anything to see us free and soon you will leave this world for us still in slavery, God forbid. During your days as youth you guys had better days in Nigeria and enjoyed a little but our days are filled with shit yet you wouldn't want us to try. When many of you were in our ages you were already leaders of industries and government, till today many of you still occupy such positions leaving the majority of us to scramble for the crumbs and we are fighting hard to liberate ourselves yet you wouldn't let us fight our enemies in peace. Yes, you have experience and you have told us your experience, won't you allow us be the judge? What makes you feel our generation can't make better decisions for ourselves after hearing your stories. Success has no judge, if your decisions of old were right we wouldn't be born to correct the mistakes you made. Yes, you made mistakes because if you didn't we would have been free people today not living in fear of Fulani herdsmen militia attacking us in the middle of the night. I am tired of hearing, "you inexperienced youth". You are not God and so you are not infallible. All you preach to us is fear of the Igbo man yet in our generation, beyond the ethnic groups in the so called Niger Delta, only the Igbos have showed us love as family. Our generation will continue to agitate for our freedom through Biafra with an alliance of documented agreement binding us, a feat you couldn't do with any group you supported with your lives in the past. Boro aligned with Fulani without any agreement and met his death in the hands of Yoruba who got an agreement with Fulani. This is our lives so let us do what we know is right. We will preach the freedom Biafra brings to every Ijaw man and they must all make their decisions for themselves. Gone are the days when few decides for many. Today INC is far more disorganized than IYC yet INC was supposed to be the elders group of Izon nation guiding IYC yet it seems IYC should be guiding them. If INC which is your generation cannot organize themselves as elders why should we trust your judgements as youths which you want to force on our throats today? If Biafra let me have 100% resource control in Ijaw Nation and autonomy what else am I struggling for? If I shouldn't have to bother whether an Igbo man will dominate my business and market because in Ijaw Nation he must co-own any business he wants to do with a fellow Ijaw man, why should I fear? If the Igbo man is ready to die with me in struggle for freedom and live peacefully with me afterwards why should I bother? Igbos are the majority in Port Harcourt yet some of us love Port Harcourt more than our state capital, Yenagoa. So if Igbos are not good people to live with why have we not fought with them or have any reason to fight with them? We keep talking of how Igbos can not be trusted yet we have fought with all our neighbors fighting against injustice including Yoruba in Lagos but we have never fought with Igbos, why? Is it not because they are peaceful people who wouldn't take what is not theirs? Igbo man will insult you but Fulani will kill you yet some of you our elders still tell us that a Fulani man is better than an Igbo man not minding that the Fulani will take you to stone age while the Igbo will industrialise your village. Please think about this and let us make our mistakes, it might just be the right thing because a man who makes the mistakes of his father is a FOOL who will not live to see the glory of his son. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 3 Likes |

Yesterday 24/05/2020 during the day before our leader's broadcast, our Bayelsa team inaugurated three different units in the capital of Bayelsa State, Yenagoa. These units are (1) kpansia. (2) akenfa 1. (3) akenfa 2, in yenagoa LGA bayelsa state. The way our people are rushing into this struggle, how can someone tell me Ijaws are not in the struggle or someone telling me that Ijawland is not Biafra. Biafra is our last hope and Izon people know it.

Igbos see Ijaws as their blood yet some misinformed ones are still enveloped in vague suspicion. Yorubas & Fulanis conspired against GEJ but Ibos stood by him till de end even much more dan de Ijaw kinsmen. OBJ burnt down Odi, Same OBJ brought down DSP Alamieyesegha which finally took his life. Fulani army invaded many Ijaw towns under Buhari & Yaradua but u still tend to be happy with ur oppressors. Fulanis are feeding fat on ur resources yet u seem to believe dat igbos who wouldn't want to see ur blood would cheat u. Why chose an enemy in place of a brother?

LukasPodolski: The danger of a single story or picking parts of a story is that you never get the full picture! Yes, the Ironsi regime unified governance for military command-and-control purposes! But were the fiscal aspects of the federal structure touched? Was the revenue allocation formula to the 4 regions touched? Answering these questions will show whether the unification decree had any other motive besides having a unified administrative structure for military control and coordination purposes! In any case, what excuse do you lot have for keeping said unified structure in place 54 years after, and going on to tamper with the allocation formula? Or is it Ironsis’ ghost that did that as well? 4 Likes |

IGBOSON1:To my own understanding, the summary of this is : Ironsi, an Igbo man abolished the regional government, based on the interest of his people (He wouldn't if his people were to be against it) Today, the major things the Igbo nation are clamouring for are restructuring and Succession. When Nigeria was about to become an independent nation, Out of the three major ethnic group, the history tells us Azikiwe (an Igbo man) was the only leader against inclusion of succession clause. Same with restructuring, Ironsi cancelled it. Reasons why Biafra of 1967 was illegal...... Succession wasn't in Nigeria Constitution then (an Igbo man being the sole supporter) What ever justified Igbos resisting Adaka Boro from achieving Niger Deltan republic also applies to Biafra of 1967.... Igbos need to pay for inhumane killings of Northern leaders. In conclusion, nothing will ever break NIGERIA.... Our mothers land.... I love you my great country. 2 Likes

LukasPodolski: Those who say that Ironsi abolished Regionalism are those who dont know Nigerian history. All 4 Regions of the time were existing the day Ironsi died, all 4 had resource control and fiscal responsibility. So how is it possible that Ironsi abolished Regionalism? The person who abolished Regionalism was Gowon. On the 27th of May 1967, Gowon enacted Decree 14 which abolished all 4 Regions, replaced them with 12 states, cancelled resource control and reversed fiscal autonomy. I also laugh when people say that Zik is the reason why secession clause never got into the constitution, I wonder if such people have brains. How is it possible for one person to decide what will be or not be in the constitution? As big as Nigeria is, some people want us to believe that Zik decided what will be, or not be in the Nigerian constitution? Was Zik the owner of Nigeria? Nigeria is not our mother land. Nigeria is the mere colonial creation of a drunk British man called Lugard and his girlfriend |
