Discussion between Urhobo And Yoruba Man On Niger Delta about Biafra

By Roland Ediri Idimi
Published by Family Writers

I was talking with a Yoruba friend on December 18, 2015 and it was really a funny discussion. At first he said Roland the Southsouth is not part of Biafra and I responded to him that we are. I had to educate him that we are one indivisible people. That the states strategy today was formulated to divide us and it has not worked.

I asked him, “the Governor of my State (Delta State) where is he from?” I could feel how cold he became when he received my response, that my State Governor is an Igbo man and he is called Arthur Okowa Ifeanyi. Governor Okowa was born at Owa-Alero in Ika North-East Local Government Area of Delta State.

The next he said was that we would suffer under the Igbos. I had to bring him up to speed, that there would not be any thing like that. The whole states in Biafra are blessed with mineral resources and every state shall be responsible for its land and the resources it contains.
Then he said, “the Igbos will fight with us.” My response is, we and the Igbos are one people who are bounded together by same ideology; culture and religious belief and these are the criteria that form the basis for peaceful coexistence.
At this point; he realize that I am not one of those the Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba can deceive with their divisive strategy against my Igbo brothers.

At least; I asked him one question which he could not answer me. I asked him the following:
(a). Why are the Yorubas and Fulani/Hausa fighting really hard to ensure that they create divide between the one people of the Southsouth and Southeast?
(b). Could it be that they love the people of the Southsouth so much and wanted them to join Arewa or Oodua?
(c). Could it be because they are very interested in their economic; political and sociological development and want to ensure that they are developed when they join Oodua or Arewa?
(d). Is it the Igbos who shared the Niger Delta which include Abia and Imo into oil blocks among themselves?
(e). Is it the Igbos who fight against true Federalism and Resource Control which we have been clamouring for over the years?
(f). Is it the Igbos that shut down all the ports in the SouthSouth (Port Harcourt; Sapele; Koko; Calaber; Warri) for the port in Lagos just to kill the commerce in SouthSouth and SouthEast?
(g). Is it the Igbos that fault and kill the PIB proposed with 10% community share?
(i). Is it the Igbos that concession Onne Port to Atiku Abubakar to continue the exploit of the people of Rivers State?
Till now I am still expecting answer from my friend…

Even when Yorubas aren't interested, Ibos will still fantisize about discussing Biafra with a Yorubaman. Wetin concern Yoruba? Are Yorubas stopping your leaders and people from supporting Buafra?

You all have this fear that Yorubas have omnipotent powers. That we can do and undo. I'm Yoruba and I want Ibos off my land.

Mstewwww.
Haters gonna hate.
Woke up to another early morning brain fart?
Those ports still exist, why can't they make use of them.
Get this. Oodualands ports were booming before Nigeria , they will continue to boom after Nigeria.
From trade with the Songhai empire, great Ghana Mansa Musa's Mali to trade with the Portuguese, British and Dutch.
Goods, no matter how small,will continue to be shipped from our hinterland and hopefully, Cruise ships will be docking in future after Nigeria.
As long as we can till out land with our 2 hands and harvest crops, the land will never lack.
Now to give haters more headache.

We are likely to have three sea ports in Lagos in another two years - the Badagry Deep Sea Port, the Lekki Port and also the Apapa port.

With due respect, I just discovered that the posters above me are enemies of the truth. But the truth must triumph one day.

It is lies and deception that detoriated Nigeria to this level of decay.

Bro, you will not believe what a Dutch told me last year in Amsterdam .These guys seem to derive pleasures in running us down.This girl was repeating all the rubbish being perpetuated on nairaland without having met any omoluabi.
Is it just insecurity or what?
Since that day, I removed my liberal hat because we yoruba seem to be too liberal to the point of stupidd

Lol at how the parasites swooped in to defend their cowardice.

What baffles me is the Yoruba resistance to Biafra. The resistance is to desperate that one would think their survival depends on it.

No Yoruba man will tell u, in reasonable terms, why he is against a SS/SE Biafra. You only hear them say 'let your people leave Lagos first'.

Yoruba land has the largest crude oil deposits in the world (their claim), yet they shiver when the NDA strikes.

Please support statehood for SS and SE. It's not your business if we have chosen to stay together. You guys stand a better chance of making more progress with your masters/cousins the Northeners.

At least for once support something rationale.

Until we Yorubas pick up guns and fight for the actualisation of their Biafra, they'll always accuse us of holding them back.

Who have the Yorubas not accused of wanting to run away with what they call "our oil"?

They accused Ironsi
They accused Ojukwu
They accused France
They accused de Gaul
They accused French people
They accused Biafrans
They accused MASSOB
They accused IPOB
They accused Kanu
They accused Ndiigbo
They accused Niger deltans
They accused Dokubo
They are currently accusing Tompolo and the Avengers.

Every one wants their oil, oil that is not in Odua land. Yet they are the ones with placards.

No they mustn't but they should stop the following:

1. Biafruad, Biafrat

2. Land locked

3. Red earth erosion ravaged region.

4. Kanu is watermelon head.

5. No Igbo in SS, Igbos are only in 5 small eastern region, with land mass not as big as Ogbomosho.

6. Anioma, Ikwerre, even Imo state are not Igbos.

7. Onitsha people are from Benin they are not Igbos.

8. 98% of Enugu north are muslims.

9. Igbos contribute absolute nothing to Nigeria.

10. The oil in Abia, Anambra and Imo state is nothing compared to the oil in Lagos state

All the above and many other derogatory insinuations, don't sound like someone who wants the other to leave. So my friend you don't need to fight for them, but you should zip it...and allow them to pursue what is legally feasible..

Honestly, I don't understand. Now, they are saying we should not talk (post negative comments on NL). Does Biafra agitation begin and end on Nairaland? Will Nairaland comments make or mar the Biafra cause?

A big lesson here for our ND compatriots. Never allow any Yoruba or Hausa/Fulani to deceive you on issues about Biafra.
