Why did Ojukwu install the Igbo Speaking Major Okonkwo as Governor of the Midwest?

Banjo saw Ojukwu was busy doing an Afonja on him.
Okonkwo is from the Midwest too. Was it wrong to appoint a Midwest as a president of Midwest Republic?


By the way the Nzegwu (not Nzeogwu) tribunal found Banjo not guilty


So Ojukwu quickly constituted anothe Kangaroo Court trial instead of setting Banjo free


Ps Nzegwu was an Airforce Officer

This niger delta you talk about, do you know that the Igbo are the largest tribe in terms of population in niger delta followed by ijaw? 9 local governments in delta is Igbo, 65% of rivers state is Igbo.There are Igbo in bayelsa and others niger delta States, benue and kogi state. I suppose you are not looking at 5 states as Igbo land?

ogbuefieze:

You daft mo.ron can you provide your FACTS on where Jaja was born then if he wasn't Igbo? No need for pointless arguments that will lead to cul-de-sacs. I provided verifiable sources on Jaja's birthplace, please we are waiting for yours.

Cc: Pazienza, OfoIgbo make una come follow me see this shameless revisionist

Phijo abeg where was Jaja born in Ijaw land?

80% of rivers state landmass is IGBO.

Is any part of Igboland on the Sea Coast?

Just asking

PHijo:


I doubt you are Ijaw! If you are you would know that our fathers like Harold Dappa Biriye ( from Bonny in Rivers state) and Melford Okilo ( from Ogbia in Bayelsa state) were at the forefront in the battle to end Igbo political and economic domination in the now defunct eastern region. They tried through political means but it did not work. That was what motivated Boro to declare independence when an Igbo was head of state and another Igbo was governor of the now defunct eastern region.

PHijo:


Igbo is more than Fulani in Nigeria why una no fit be president?

At least they've been elected on 4 occasions.

You are the one than needs read well, Arochukwu war lasted less than a year.

And Benin Continued the war for 2 yrs.

Make a better research before commenting next time

Afriifa:
You're the daft one. He has never indicated that Jaja was born as an Ijaw man. What he wants you to know is that, all Jaja's exploits and expeditions were executed as an Ijaw Man. Unproven history has it that Jaja was a slave boy bought by an Ijaw Chief and was later ritualized into an Ijaw being. And his exploites were known thereof.

The British invading force crushed and plundered Benin forces and artifacts in just a matter of days, Ovonramwen Nogbaisi fled into exile in Calabar after the fall of Benin so where did he amass the fighting power to prosecute a guerilla war for 2 years? the Aros fought for British for way longer but the only recorded part of the conflict was from 1901-02 when slave trade was been threatened and the long juju of Aro (Ubini Ukpabi) which was reputed to be the most feared epicenter of slave routes/trades was finally discovered by the British did they then send a large expeditionary force to destroy it. After the fall of the Aro confederacy, there were still organized and fierce resistance that continued until about 1908...

Also note that the bulk of the leaders and men that formed the Ekumeku secret society that resisted the British from 1883-1914 came from Aro (Arondizuogu) in the western Igbo axis.

Afriifa:
becux dey are generally fake

Logan23:


That he was arrested after 1 or 2 years doesn't take away the fact that the bini kingdom didnt fall after a few days...infact the british burnt the kingdom to the ground and looted the city.

If bini people numbered 40 million, No force on earth will take them down in a few days

ijawcitizen:
The Niger Delta is made up of ethnic nationalities and no igbo ethnic group is part of the Niger Delta. The igbos in the South South belong to Igboland and not Niger Delta. Your poor attempt to force your despicable igbo existence on the glorious Niger Deltan harmonious ethnicities have failed.

Ekealterego:

Continued what? When the oba was on exile in Calabar and all the important chiefs hanged at the village square and all the palace destroyed, the city walls fell and citizens came down to bow. Despite all the human sacrifices made? At some point in the short war, kids and women were the ones fighting. Maybe you should read more.
Arochukwu was not the only people fighting... Aros are not only in Arochukwu, if you know too well....they are all over... The fight included Ekumeku and other fights until what ended in 1929.

valirex:


You type without reasoning, I said make a research and you're here repeating what has already been said before

Logan23:


Are u hopeless? U dont have a final say for ijaw, igbos, efiks, urhobo, bini esan, etc.

Any military can crush ijaws, they are a minority

ogbuefieze:

You're obviously the daft one here, the Aros were the bulwark that formed the Ekumeku resistance after the fall of the Aro confederacy, lots of Aros joined the Ekumeku resistance west of the Niger to continue the resistance against the might of the British empire, essentially making the Ekumeku war the longest of its kind that was fought against the British... what's there not to understand?

SaintBishop:
Shut your stupid illiterate mouth idiot I was not talking to u.

AdakaBoro8:
wow. have u forgotten how NDPVF almost hold obasanjo goverment to ransom?? ive u forgotten how MEND hold yaradua goverment to ransom that amnesty paid as beg?? ive u also forgot how avengers make strike buhari ear to deaf, that he went to beg international community to help him fight avengers??

melvinjames:

Urhobos are majority

valirex:


If we numbered that yes I agree, but Benin did not fall in a few days like the British said, I already gave you a reference to research on. You should leave Benin issues and concentrate on Ibo affairs. You said earlier I should stop saying ND that I am indirectly claiming part of Ibo land and I agreed, so I except same from you

Afriifa:
He died both as a regional n national hero. What about your bottle of beer hero? Only recognized in a bottle

Afriifa:
They were slaves oga. Even jaja was part of the slaves.

Logan23:


Bini fell in a few days, this is an open secret.

That an oba led a rebellion with guerilla warfare doesn't take away d fact that bini fell very quickly


Nice day

Logan23:


Avengers, NDPVF & MEND didnt fight d govt pls, they fought with pipelines

Afriifa:
You suppose fear Ijaw ooh. The Niger Delta Struggle gaves 13% derivation . It gave us the Niger Delta Ministry (The only region with a ministry) and it gave us NDDC. All we had today was acquired through struggle, it was never given voluntarily by the oppressors. We're always conscious of that fact.

PHijo:


Is that what mazi Nnamdi Kanu told you?

The leave the goat likes the most usually leads to the goat's premature demise.

This same Riversland is what turned you Igbos to international osus.

Ebitimi44:

If we can't even be together as Ijaws, why then do we dream of even country where we hope to excel with others when we have not even accepted our closest kin, lol, this Nigeria is saving a lot of lives oo, Omo. We have not developed Beyalsa I will not reply on that, see matter ooo, I didn't even see this coming abeg, Nigeria should remain the way it is oo, From the way I'm seeing it, no tribe is truly assimilated now becuase even some local government will break into many countries oo

valirex:


Firstly it wasn't the Oba that led the guerilla war.

Arochukwu war did not last up to a year, started November 1901 and ended January 1902

Have a nice day

Juliusmalema:


Other people's dad even married from Europe, west...no tension no hatred.

Face the topic And stop acting like a sissy.

valirex:


You just gave your self out now, you agree that Aro confederacy fell and then some Aros formed a resistance group which in other words a bit and run assault group.

And I pointing to you that that same attack army was formed in Benin as well and it lasted 2yrs
