Isaac Jasper Boro was born to a Kaiama family in present day Bayelsa State of Nigeria, in 1938 and died in mysterious circumstances on May 16, 1968 while fighting to unite Nigeria. .."


".....According to Obasanjo on page 47 of [1], Boro's one-thousand Rivers men were "hurriedly and poorly trained with little or nothing in the way of training facilities and resources". His group was then attached to the 3 Marine Commando Division (then 3 Marine) under the command of Col. Benjamin Adekunle. Adekunle's post-war political ambition was captured aptly by Obasanjo in his book "My Command" thus:

 

"Col. Adekunle, at this point saw the war not only in terms of crushing a rebellion, but also as a means of building himself up for any future political position or responsibility which he might wish to seek, I knew of people of Western State origin who had felt politically victimized and who saw in Col. Adekunle a saviour and told him so, and he believed them."

 

Is it possible that Adekunle planned the events that led to Boro's death as a scheme to take all the credits of the successes of the division at the time and permanently disconnect Boro's relationship with Federal headquarters?...."

Ayo,

Since when have you become the custodian of Niger Delta interest? You have come again to kill descendants of Adaka Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa, who you murdered in cold blood for Niger Delta oil in order to build mega cities in Lagos and Abuja.

You can't deceive SESS anymore. The cat is out of the bag. WATCH:

Making every conceivable innuendos to separate the South East and South-south --eventually to the detriment of both-- is like trying to separate the Hausa, the Fulani, and the Kanuri. It simply won't work.
 
You can keep wasting your time --Okoroala, Omubo, Ayotollah, Imperial, Kassim, Afithief, etc-- but the East is back on track.

This Alhaji  Ringim, talked like his brain is landlocked. What does he mean by IGBOS being a Diasporan tribe and what he thinks their becoming BIafra would mean for the millions of Igbos world over? What about other Nigerians that live in some other places in the world.

His fear, Igbos would colonize the SS and take over the oil therein, is baseless and an expression the loss of SS oil, by his people would render his people, Hausa and Fulani,  economically impotent. 
Someone should educate that Aboki that Biafra is a name for the SSSE zones. Their new name , if they , SESS separate from Nigeria won't have to be Biafra. The lower Niger republic can be an alternative.

Biafia: ‘Its a plot by Igbo to colonise South South’
 News    Monday, January 4, 2016


By Abdulsalam Muhammad
KANO – Leader of the defunct Arewa Peoples Congress (APC), Alhaji Sagir Ringim has said that the current agitation by the Indigenous People of Biafra as a ploy to colonise the South South.
Sagir Ringim, who holds the traditional title of Waziri Ringim told Vanguard in an exclusive chat the agitation by the Kanu led IPOBA was a calculated effort to seize the economic prospects of the minority ethnic nationality in the oil rich region.
“Those Indigenous People of Biafra have a hidden agenda to recolonize the South-south , capture the region, colonise the oil field for the betterment of the Igbos” Waziri Ringim said.
The front line IBB boy said that Biafra is landlocked and wasn’t blessed with solid minerals apart from coal, added that the geology of the enclave can’t support an independent country.
The former Intelligent officer of the Nigerian Army explained that “because of these natural shortcomings Igbos survived as a diaspora race than any dominant group in Nigeria”.
Ringim retorted that “if the Indigenous People of Biafra are now saying that yes we want to have Biafra what are you going to do with more than three quarter of the Igbos who are outside the East, those in Kano, those in Lagos what are you going to do with then? You take all those people then go back to Biafra? They have no houses to live, they have no means of livelihood.”
He said that the economic prowess of the Igbos domiciled outside Biafra, stressing that it was sheer fantasy for them to dream of ceasation under these jaundice background.
Waziri Ringim dismissed IPOB activities as orchestrated blackmail to arm twist other stakeholders in the polity for more economic advantage.
He therfore called on well meaning Igbo leaders to apply caution in the pursuit of selfish ambition so as not cause general damages to pexisting arrangements.

Ayo,

I hope you are reading and learning. I  hope this should shut up your lying tongue for good. First the Yoruba-Hausa-Coalition conscripted Boro into the firing squad "hurriedly and poorly trained with little or nothing in the way of training facilities and resources"  (murder phase 1)and attached Boro to the 3 Marine Commando Division - then 3 Marine - under the command of Col. Benjamin Adekunle who is notorious for "friendly fire" (murder phase 2). Finally, Adekunle planned the events that led to Boro's death as a scheme to take all the credits of the successes of the division at the time and permanently disconnect Boro's relationship with Federal headquarters?

Ayo, can you now see that you have been lying and insulting the sensibilities of my Niger Delta brethren? If I here any PIM from you on this subject any further, then you are shameless.

Not only Adaka Boro, your ilk similarly killed Ken Saro Wiwa, just to keep the oil tap open unopposed in order to complete your Lagos and Abuja mega cities.

Joe,

Who killed Adaka Boro? Biafrans killed Adaka Boro. 

You probably did not notice that the author of the article quoted Obasanjo in Obasanjo's My Command. I don't know how much credibility you will give Obasanjo's account of the civil war events. The important thing is that Adaka Boro volunteered to liberate today's South South from biafrans, and died on active service. Even well trained soldiers, and trainers' trainers like Nzeogwu died on active service.

Obasanjo is now you and Joe Attueyi's authority on internal military politics during the war? Obasanjo who bad mouths everybody military or civilian. Note that Adaka Boro was not conscripted and your South South readers know this. They must be amused by how far you are ready to go to impress them so that they can be part of biafra HAHAHA*:) happy

And has his people been liberated? If he had to do it again,  Adaka Boro will be fighting on Biafra side to truly liberate his people. Now get this, Adaka Boro's people are hoisting and flying the Biafran flag. What do you have to say about that?

Adaka Boro was killed by a Biafran straggler. Period.

As a matter of fact his photograph is documented.  Get a copy of Brigadier G Alabi-Isama's book :  "Tragedy of Victory" - for a detailed military history of the 3rd Marine Commando division and its operations, good, bad, and ugly.  G Alabi-Isama was the Chief of Staff, 3MCDO

Get yourself a copy of the book: "Tragedy of Victory" by Brig G Alabi-Isama(rtd), who was Chief of Staff to the 3MCDO under late Brig Benjamin Adekunle.

Boro was killed by a Biafran straggler.

Isaac Jasper Boro was born to a Kaiama family in present day Bayelsa State of Nigeria, in 1938 and died in mysterious circumstances on May 16, 1968 while fighting to unite Nigeria. .."


".....According to Obasanjo on page 47 of [1], Boro's one-thousand Rivers men were "hurriedly and poorly trained with little or nothing in the way of training facilities and resources". His group was then attached to the 3 Marine Commando Division (then 3 Marine) under the command of Col. Benjamin Adekunle. Adekunle's post-war political ambition was captured aptly by Obasanjo in his book "My Command" thus:

"Col. Adekunle, at this point saw the war not only in terms of crushing a rebellion, but also as a means of building himself up for any future political position or responsibility which he might wish to seek, I knew of people of Western State origin who had felt politically victimized and who saw in Col. Adekunle a saviour and told him so, and he believed them."

Is it possible that Adekunle planned the events that led to Boro's death as a scheme to take all the credits of the successes of the division at the time and permanently disconnect Boro's relationship with Federal headquarters?...."

80th Birthday Dinner: Soyinka replies Rivers govt

on January 07, 2016 / in News 7:30 am / VANGUARD

Facebook Twitter Google+ LinkedIn Reddit Print

Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka has described as ‘abominable distractions,’ statement by the Rivers State Commissioner for Information, Dr Austin Tam-George, that the state would demand refund from him (Soyinka) if he collected cash from the N82 million allegedly spent by immediate-past Governor, Rotimi Amaechi on a dinner to honour him.

Soyinka, who reacted in a statement on Wednesday night, said it has never been his business to probe into the “catering and logistical implications” of the hundreds of recognitions he had enjoyed worldwide and wondered why the Ameachi gesture has become an issue under the ‘insecure’ incumbent of the Rivers State government lodge.

wole-soyinka-cry

Although he said the allegation has made him saddened and ‘truly despair”, he added that he was indifferent to it.

Soyinka in the statement entitled, “Those who flounder in the sewage of corruption,” said: “This morning, I saw only the headlines in one or two print media regarding the 80th Birthday dinner to which I was hosted by the former governor of Rivers State, the Honorable Rotimi Amaechi, now Minister of Transportation. I ignored them. It was not, and remains not my business to probe into the catering and logistical implications of the hundreds of institutions and governments all over the world to whom I acknowledge an immense debt of unsolicited recognition over the years.

“Since then however, I have learnt of some unsavory statements by the insecure incumbent of the Rivers State government Lodge. These included a loose invitation to anti-crime agencies to investigate the potential crime of being honoured through any occasion. The unprecedented call by this governor is prescient of a warning I recounted in my recent pamphlet publication THE REPUBLIC OF LIARS, and was taken from my address to an anti-corruption global conference that took place in Tunisia two years ago. Those words were: CORRUPTION STRIKES BACK. In this ongoing instance, that expression translates most vividly as “Those who are neck deep in the sewage of corruption ensure that they splatter sewage in all possible and improbable directions.”

“I do however fully support the Wikeleaks call for multi-directional probes. I recommend further that he involve the services of INTERPOL to guarantee its extension to all international organisations and governments to whom I owe uncountable events of recognition – including birthday luncheons, dinners, cultural receptions and events of real, fictitious, or simply opportunistic flavoring – to which I have submitted myself.

“The descent to this present level of abominable distractions makes one truly despair. It is one that even I did not envisage when I warned – CORRUPTION STRIKES BACK! Whether it brings honour or dishonour to the nation is another matter – I am saddened, but indifferent.

“EFCC and company – over to you! You all know where I live,” noted The Nobel laureate.

Nowa,

You are wrong and the source of your information has long been discredited. Soon you will tell me that Charles Taylor was also escaping to Niger when he was arrested. 

If we are to move forward we must stop lying. The death of Adaka Boro is well documented because there were eye witnesses.

Uncle Joe

Why dont you just read the book? Extensive photographs were documented, including Boro's killer.

Frontlines are very mobile in war, and men as well as officers do get cut off from their lines, and drift into "no mans land". Nothing new. Those who escape and are honest, can recount their experiences.

Late Adaka Boro's son is a retired Nigerian military officer (a Brigadier), currently in charge of the Amnesty program. Look at his photograph - a spitting image of his late father. In fact so many civil war era sons and daughters (on both sides) are in the system, quietly playing their part in our national life, some you may never suspect, because they lie low.

We have lost a lot of blood on all sides. It is a pity that so many young men and women are clueless about Nigerian history.

Nevertheless we must learn to tell the truth, so that we can avoid past errors.

War is hell!

NAO

NOWA:

CHIEF ALABI ISAMA BOOK IS FULL OF BITTERNESS, INACCURACIES, CONTRADICTIONS, HATE ON OJUKWU & OBJ. UKWUANI PEOPLE KNOW HIM MORE.
 
My response to you.
 
Uncle Joe: Why dont you just read the book?  Extensive photographs were documented, including Boro's killer.
NOWA I read Chief Isama book and armed with it I challenged him on a lot of inaccuracies in it at McGregor Hotel, Asaba on January 8, 2014 when I went there to get a new ECOWAS Passport.
 
I exchanged heated mailing with him about his book in Yahoo Ukwuani Forum. Any clear and neutral observer who read the book will know immediately that it was target on OBJ, Igbo’s and anybody that aligned with OBJ. He hated OBJ by the way he was calling him a coward and a liar before me and other Ukwuani guys with me. He went as far as saying that he will take Ojukwu before he takes OBJ.
 
A lot of repetition of statements in the Book.
 
I don’t need to tell you where he came from because you knew already know that Chief Isama and my mother is from the same town of Utagba-Uno in Delta State. His residential home at Utagba-Uno is just a stone throw to my maternal home.
 
Utagba-Uno town has 7 Clans or Villages namely with many military people retired and serving. There are
 
1]. IKILIBI. Chief Isama is from this Village.
 
2]. ISUMPE – Retired Admiral Onah and my maternal family is from this Village.
 
3]. ETUA
 
4]. UMUSADEGE
 
5]. UMUSETI
 
6]. UMUSEDELI
 
7]. UMUSAM
 
Chief Isama is a maternal cousin to retired Colonel Nzefili. Nzefili is from Ukwuani town of EFO, about 6 miles from Senator Patrick Osakwe. Nzefili was wounded at Ibadan during Northern counter coup of July 1966. He was in Biafra during the war as Commander or In-Charge of S&T-Supply and Transport and his HQ was at St. Catherine’s College, Nkwerre.  
 
Chief Isama is a bitter man because of the way he was removed in the Army. He very boastful of his role in the war and the capturing of PH and all areas of Rivers State. Anywhere Biafra Soldiers recaptured and killed many Nigerian Soldiers, he will attribute it to miscommunication and unplanned operations. He told me that 3MCDO never entered into core Igbo area until January 1970 when the war ended. He became very abusive when I reminded him that 16BDE Nigerian Army 3MCDO under Major Etuk entered Owerri on May, 1968 for the first.
 
His book is full of contradictions and hate. He stated that Igbo’s, Zik and IRONSI dominated Nigeria Civil service, education sector and the Military. Then I asked him to name them, he mentioned Ateke Kurobo, Colonel Bassey, Efiong and Mid-West Igbo Soldiers.
 
In education, he told me how Zik wanted Igbo man to be VC of UNILAG when another Igbo was already a VC of UI.  I told him that since Ngbati area has these Federal schools, that it will be fair to have Igbo’s too as the VC.
 
On the Military domination, I told him that Colonels Bassey, Effiong, Kurubo and the Mid-West Igbo’s are not Igbo’s to test him. And that it was the British that handpicked Kurubo from the Army to be the Nigeria first Air force Commander when they were leaving. He told me that when he means Igbo, he was talking about Eastern Region as a whole. I laughed and say aha but these people don’t regard themselves as Igbo’s. He told me that they are ungrateful to say so especially the Mid-West Igbo’s

Frontlines are very mobile in war, and men as well as officers do get cut off from their lines, and drift into "no mans land".  Nothing new.  Those who escape and are honest, can recount their experiences. 
Those of us old enough and suffered the war knows that. We should also not tell lies because of biases and hate people has on people because someone will be hurt one day too. Some of these lies  many of you believed was told by Chief Isama in my face that it was Igbo propaganda that 3MCDO Shelled and bombed Civilian targets and executed Biafra POW’s.
 
The last thing a Biafra Soldier will wish for himself or his enemies during the war was for 3MCDO troops to capture him alive. I reminded him what I saw at Owerri after Biafra Soldiers chased 16BDE of 3MCDO out of Owerri on September, 1968. Bodies of young men littered all over the place at Holy Ghost, Emekuku Bridge, Egbu, and Nnaze until Obinze. He told me that Ojukwu brought dead people that died of hunger and put them there to make it look like 3MCDO killed them.  


Late Adaka Boro's son is a retired Nigerian military officer (a Brigadier), currently in charge of the Amnesty program.  Look at his photograph - a spitting image of his late father.  In fact so many civil war era sons and daughters (on both sides) are in the system, quietly playing their part in our national life, some you may never suspect, because they lie low.
NOWA the reason you wrote about Boro son was for you to convince us that what you are saying about Chief Isama book is true and to make us believe that Boro son confirmed Chief Isama story.
 
I too know those that fought the war under BORO 19BDE. My maternal cousin Patrick Udisi of Odi in Bayelsa fought under a Battalion as Corporal under then Lieutenant Okiki and now retired as Colonel Okiki of Odi. That battalion was under Boro 19BDE. They are all still alive today.
 
My Ijaw In-Law retired RSM Amgbaduba fought under Boro 19BDE. I can go on and on. Did you remember one of the forum members by name John Clayton of Okrika and a graduate of UNIFE? His mother is from Nkwerre, my home town. He fought under BORO 19BDE.
 
From Biafra side, Nwa Aduba, Okenwa Nwosu, Oranika, Peter Opara, Ihemelu, Amadiebube etc fought in Ohaji/Egbema/PH Sector. It was all that was left of Major Igbo’s area to fight and die after the fall of Onitsha, Enugu, Calabar, Aba and Okigwe Sectors. And yours truly was a Boys Company then. I mentioned these names because you mentioned Boro son.
 
Chief Isama can’t even answer my simple question. He was too condescending and abusive when I asked him question. Anytime I threw questions to him, he will respond with anger and say “that this was why Igbo’s lost because they lack strategies to fight war”. He was very, very angry when I told him that everybody that fought under 3MCDO are worst than HITLER and NAZIS. He continues to flip his book to get me answers. I asked him who put or wrote the book for him. No answer.
 
People gathered around us at McGregor Hotel when the debate heated up that some Ukwuani guys started signaling me with eyes to stop.
 
Can someone tell me anywhere in the world a Mother or Civilian will visit a dangerous war zone like Ohaji/Egbema/PH Sectors like Chief Isama mother did? What kind of war is that?   
 
Ohaji/Egbema/PH Sector was like hell during the war and everybody will tell you that.
 
I was at home, Utagba-Uno during the last 2015 election when the people of UTAGBA-Uno my maternal gathered to officially welcome Chief Isama as their proud son.  
 
His speeches was full of boasting and self promoting on how he saved Igbo’s from total annihilation but he couldn’t answer one simple question why he couldn’t save Ukwuani people and Mid-West Igbo’s from Massacres and tortures visited on them by 7&8 Battalion Ngbati Nigerian Army when they arrived on September 1967.
 
They specifically mentioned the names of the dead Utagba-Unos like Chief Mgbakor Diji, the Chief or Oba of Utagba-Uno, Kehinde the son of Utagba-Uno lady who was tied on two legs with rope, dragged him on the ground to EKE Market area and shot. Where was Chief Isama when all these were happening?
 
He knew or heard about the massacres but did nothing.
 
Worst of all is that Chief Isama can’t speak Ukwuani. He was addressing his audience in Pidgin English. Proverbs in his book was written in Ngbati Language.
 
He wrote in his book that Igbo’s killed Hausa/Fulani’s in Hausa Quarter at Asaba. I know the in and out of Asaba before and after the war. Before Niger Bridge was built, Igbo’s will go to Cable Point, Asaba a day before to catch Boats that will ferry them to Onitsha end. But I never heard of Hausa Quarter then or after the war. He will not tell me the Area of Asaba that has this Hausa Quarter, instead he told me that the town has developed so much and that Igbo’s has taken over everywhere.
 
It is a known fact that many retired Military men and NCO’s from Utagba-Uno and Ukwuani has ill feelings towards him. He doesn’t get along with Retired Admiral Onah, retired Lt Colonel Ogbodo who fought at Idoni and Udi. He cannot mention one thing he did for the Utagba-Uno and Ukwuani people? The only thing he did was performing the marriage ceremony of his son or daughter with British Oyibo at Utagba-Uno.
 
He is a bitter man in his book. He attacked OBJ, George Innih and any Nigerian Soldier that didn’t agree with him. Love him or hate him, OBJ is very, very good in monitoring and keeping records of someone’s work performance and movements. He pays attention to details no matter how little it is. 
 
NOWA, I remember you attacking me for saying that Chief Isama was dismissed in the Army due to conduct unbecoming of an Officer. Then you asked me to show you or tell you what that conduct was. Chief Isama used the three Major tribes to advance his military career.
 
It caught up with him. OBJ just said it that Chief Isama was using the Northerners with his name to advance his Military career. He was million percent right.
 
He switched to Ukwuani name and joined Biafra Army when he thought Biafra has upper hand. He changed to Ngbati name when 7&8 Battalion landed Mid-West. He became a Northerner and declared Ilorin as his place when Northerners was calling the short after the war.
 
I just can’t tell between Josef Stalin Igietseme, Bill Clinton and Chief Isama who is the most cunny among the three.  Chief Isama cunny attitude like Josef Igietseme was what made OBJ to see that he was retrenched in the Army.
 
We have lost a lot of blood on all sides.  It is a pity that so many young men and women are clueless about Nigerian history. Nevertheless we must learn to tell the truth, so that we can avoid past errors. War is hell!
Yes, we did but we must stop telling Igbo’s that it was their fault and let Ojukwu led them into war without telling us why the war started in the first place. They should tell us why Nigerian Soldiers was marching to Enugu from the Northern end of Biafra.
 
If Igbo’s was accused of staging coup to put Ironsi in power and dominate other Nigerians, why didn’t Northerner soldiers hand over the leadership to Northern Civilians after they succeeded in their counter coup? That is the truth that we must tell ourselves.
 
Finally, Adaka Boro was not killed by any damn Biafra Straggler. Boro was killed by top Ngbati 3MCDO Military Officers when he threatened to report them to Lagos for owambering around and raping young Rivers Girls which made Biafra 57BDE under late Colonel Ogbugo kalu to wipe out Akinrinade BDE and almost captured him alive.
 
I told Chief Isama this and he called me stupid and uneducated young man.  
 
And with this, I rest my case.

Who Killed Adaka Boro

Isaac Jasper Boro was born to a Kaiama family in present day Bayelsa State of Nigeria, in 1938 and died in mysterious circumstances on May 16, 1968 while fighting to unite Nigeria. .."


".....According to Obasanjo on page 47 of [1], Boro's one-thousand Rivers men were "hurriedly and poorly trained with little or nothing in the way of training facilities and resources". His group was then attached to the 3 Marine Commando Division (then 3 Marine) under the command of Col. Benjamin Adekunle. Adekunle's post-war political ambition was captured aptly by Obasanjo in his book "My Command" thus:
 
"Col. Adekunle, at this point saw the war not only in terms of crushing a rebellion, but also as a means of building himself up for any future political position or responsibility which he might wish to seek, I knew of people of Western State origin who had felt politically victimized and who saw in Col. Adekunle a saviour and told him so, and he believed them."
 
Is it possible that Adekunle planned the events that led to Boro's death as a scheme to take all the credits of the successes of the division at the time and permanently disconnect Boro's relationship with Federal headquarters?...."

 News    Monday, January 4, 2016


By Abdulsalam Muhammad
KANO – Leader of the defunct Arewa Peoples Congress (APC), Alhaji Sagir Ringim has said that the current agitation by the Indigenous People of Biafra as a ploy to colonise the South South.
Sagir Ringim, who holds the traditional title of Waziri Ringim told Vanguard in an exclusive chat the agitation by the Kanu led IPOBA was a calculated effort to seize the economic prospects of the minority ethnic nationality in the oil rich region.
“Those Indigenous People of Biafra have a hidden agenda to recolonize the South-south , capture the region, colonise the oil field for the betterment of the Igbos” Waziri Ringim said.
The front line IBB boy said that Biafra is landlocked and wasn’t blessed with solid minerals apart from coal, added that the geology of the enclave can’t support an independent country.
The former Intelligent officer of the Nigerian Army explained that “because of these natural shortcomings Igbos survived as a diaspora race than any dominant group in Nigeria”.
Ringim retorted that “if the Indigenous People of Biafra are now saying that yes we want to have Biafra what are you going to do with more than three quarter of the Igbos who are outside the East, those in Kano, those in Lagos what are you going to do with then? You take all those people then go back to Biafra? They have no houses to live, they have no means of livelihood.”
He said that the economic prowess of the Igbos domiciled outside Biafra, stressing that it was sheer fantasy for them to dream of ceasation under these jaundice background.
Waziri Ringim dismissed IPOB activities as orchestrated blackmail to arm twist other stakeholders in the polity for more economic advantage.
He therfore called on well meaning Igbo leaders to apply caution in the pursuit of selfish ambition so as not cause general damages to pexisting arrangements.

If Southern Nigeria, especially Igbo and Yoruba can work together without suspicion or antagonism, you'll be surprised how developed our country will be. Thanks for your email below. I was of the view that Herbert Macaulay died of natural cause - heart attack. However, in the back of my mind, I wonder why he could die so young (this is not to say heart attack doesn't happen to young people).  Now, it seems to me that Herbert Macaulay got the Abiola treatment.

Subject: Re: [africanworldforum] Re: Who killed Adaka Boro

Boro was killed by the British Government by Northern proxy. The north will do anything to win the support of the British. Herbert Macaulay's death also was the night after he had a dinner with lord Lugard at the latter special invitation in Kaduna. This is also on Wikipedia , if it hasn't been taken down.

Hello Ayo Esuola and Vin Otuonye,

Whoever invited Herbert MaCaulay to 
dinner in Kaduna in 1946 could not have 
been F. D. Lugard. Lugard had died in 
England in 1945. Thus, for any assumed 
Abiola treatment of Ejongboro, we have to look
for a different culprit. It might even not be smart
to just rule out those Nigerians close to him.

Best regards,

Adeniran Adeboye

MEMORANDUM: BIAFRA
12-11-2015

         AS POLITICAL SCIENCE, BIAFRA WOULD BE A DISASTER; AS SOCIAL SCIENCE, IT WOULD BE BRILLIANT

  GREETING!  The issue of Biafra in Nigeria and the issue of unification in Africa and the diaspora are entwined, at least at the levels of abstraction needed to conjure a philosophical analysis of our common Fate.  How can we pursue unification of fifty-five nations, hundreds/thousands of ethnic groupings, and scattered remnants around the world?  If there is to be a New World Order, must we enter therein racked with internal disorders?
 
A giant step was taken in 1963 when OAU now AU was formed. The Philadelphia Inquirer responded by saying that African tribal chiefs can never Unite. But who knows. 
 
Africans are on our way towards a POLITICAL UNITY which is a condition precedent for Economic growth. 
 
Few people in the  world know that SEEK YE A POLITICAL KINGDOM AND ALL THE REST SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU. 
 
When we are united we become what our American constitution say "we the people". We become one and are willing to die a little for one another.
 
Now you can understand that the Founding Fathers  of America were smarter than most of my contemporary peoples who see economic first and never thought of the wars of contention later. 
 
At least that is what the American Founding Fathers have shown to all the world that any serious people living in a contiguous or abutting lands can become ONE PEOPLE and protect themselves.
 
To the Africans in America nothing has been done since 1962 when I landed here in America. Nothing has changed. In fact a lot of things have gone bad for us.
 
The problem is since my arrival here in America, the Egypt led Pharaohs of the modern world, the white Americans; the Africans in America have not done anything to exhibit our presence or our Africanity.

   All humans are entitles to freedom.  That is the legacy of our ancestral struggles --against the world and against each other.  Individuation is a common adolescent trait of all people, and nations.  All humans are free born and entitles to the liberties, thereof.  Advocation to the contrary is pernicious.
My problem with this "All human are entitled to freedom". This is more accurate if the society in which the individual resides is equally handled by the citizens of the country.
 
Unfortunately, this is no so in America and we as Africans have been fooled into believe in freedom of citizens when the least mistake made by an African in America can end her/his freedom.
 
Do you really believe that after 1963, our ancestors and their posterity were freed? I DOUBT it. Read even our recent history. We are gradually making some gains in our freedoms but we are not quiet there yet. 

    All humans and nations have the right of self-determination.  That, too, is a legacy of successful struggles in our past.  That is why abolitionists abolished slavery. 
 
We seem to know too much. Can a human being exert self-determination?. I doubt it. But nations can. I can see clearly that we really do not grasp what is going on and what has gone on among us.
 
Do you think the abolitionists abolished slavery or our President Abraham Lincoln abolished it? Don't you believe that one of the causes of the Civil War was slavery?. The southern states want it. They still do.
 
Even as late as this very year 2015, the Confederate flag was contested in courts and legislatures around the country. How then can individuals abolish slavery.
 
Without the federal and some of the state governments, Africans will still be in direct slavery of chains on our legs and necks.
That is why movements disestablished colonialism. 
Can you cite one movement that was organized to disestablished colonialism? Are you for real. Can slaves ever organize a social movements? We are more reactive and not proactive. A disorganized people such as Africans can never form a movement. Only a free people can form a movement. We are slaves how do we form a movements
That is why Africans and the World fought to destroy Nazism and fascism. 
No doubt, the Tuskgee Airmen attest to the fact that Africans fought in the WWII. Continental Africans including my uncle fought in India and North Africa.
 
But they were used as slaves including the Tuskegee Airmen were all slaves. What happened after the war and is still happening attest to the fact that we are still slaves.
Our participation in these struggles entitles us to the blessings, benefits, privileges, and hereditaments thereof. 
Are you sure that our participation in the WWII entitled us to what? Are you sure. Why are we so easily misdirected and deceived. Let us accept our status and work hard to improve our status for nothing comes freely in free economy. We have done nothing since the days of Marcus Garvey.
And that movement is called democracy.  If we volunteer to submit to tyranny, that one thing.  Regrettable, but that would be a choice.  If we chafe at tyranny, then that is another; and more appropriate. 
 
Yes democracy exist in our beloved country. That is the only benefit. Whatever the Europeans want to do will be and can be done to take our freedom from us.
 
We exist in America as captive and consumable individuals not even group since we have no organized front like the Jews or Latinos to mention just two.
And the yoke of ignorance is one such tyranny we should never adjust ourselves to accept.  And tutored ignorance is even worse!
We are ignorant of almost all our civil rights including the right to vote. It was only Dr. King single handedly tutored us on vote. Now we have fallen back to pre King and we do not vote at all. The only right that we can exercise with some interference from the south. 

   The World created the United Nations to guarantee these freedoms and the exercise by one and all of the franchise. 
Our country, the victor of the WWII created the UNO. We pay almost 1/3 of the cost of operating the UN. The five permanent security council is the creation of our country. All the financial Institution of the World: The International Monetary Fund, The World Bank and its affiliates were all create by USA.
The World is being governed by the Atlantic Charter which sets forth the philosophy and ideology of these laws.  And there are the freedoms, which form the foundation of modern government as a platform for modernization.
I agree with you.p[

The Four Freedoms of the Atlantic Charter (the Atlantic Council is the civilian part of NATO, the military arm of Europe. I had a white friend, Bill Dickey who belong to the Atlantic Council and 15 other non profits. Dues ranged fromo $250.00 to 2,500.00 a year. How many non profits do you belong? ) and the United Nations declare:

   I.  Freedom from want.
  II.  Freedom from fear.
 III. Freedom of speech.
 IV. Freedom of religio
All nations of the Earth are signatories to the Atlantic Charter and the guiding principles of the United Nations.  That is the meaning and responsibility of membership in the United Nations.  Any nation not observing both the spirit and the letter of the Charter stand in default.  And the citizens of such nations stand within their rights to improve that government by purging the governors and administrators who perpetuate the abridgment of their rights and freedoms.  Tyranny is not an option.  Enduring tyranny is a failure of good judgment.
Well said but there are leaders in East and West Africa that have no respect for the pronouncements.

   Nigeria is plagued by several defaults and shortcomings in this regard.  Killing ones neighbors for being specious in their identity, in their faith, in their politics, in their integrity signals deep seated delinquency in spirit and custom.  In Nigeria, the World beholds disorderly governance; weak public safety; low human character; suppression of dissent; police and military arrogation of superiority over common citizens rather than service and protection; roaming gangs; and social intolerance.
Nigeria is a surrogate of Great Britain. For example: Omari Diko stole 2 billion pounds and escaped to London. Nigeria security through Israeli Security arrested Omari Diko. Put him in a coffin and tried to ship it by plane. The Scotland Yard, the British Intelligence intercepted the coffin and free Omari Diko. Ten years later, Omari Diko returned to Nigeria and he received the red carpet at the airport.  Now you know who controls Nigeria and Ghana.  

   There are many good people in Nigeria, hopefully a full sixty-eight percent on the normal curve of human development.  But Nigeria, itself, is a basket case of human woes.  For Africa, this is serious.  For African peoples, be they Continentals, or Disaporans, this is serious.  The population of Nigeria is approximately ten-percent of all Africans, Blacks, and Afro-descended communities on Earth.  That is serious.  Ten-percent is a major statistic, when three-percent is the threshold.  We are facing the statistical prospect that what is wrong with Nigeria is also wrong with us; with Africa.  This is especially so for the Caribbean and North Americans where the core ancestral population of Afro-Americans derive their ethnicity from Nigerians, Igbos, Yorubas, and Igala.
Very true statement.

   Now! There is an intellectual answer.  History shows that.  Nigeria is the homeland of the Nok, Benin, and Oyo cultures.  We can do this.  We, Africans, are the heirs to Ancient Egypt, Ancient Nubia, Zimbabwe, the Manicongo, Ghana, Songhai, Mali, Prester John, and Marcus Garvey.  We can do this.
Very serious truthful statement.

   Archaeology shows that Nigeria as a territory has been occupied for more than 12,000 years, with firm carbon dates.  We must know something!  So what are those johnny-come lately folk from Eurasia?  So why are we behaving this way?  Like brats?  We have a legacy to protect and perpetuate.  We are the guardians of ancient knowledge and lore.  So what's with all this foolishness and atomization?
Very true statement.

   This brings us to the Igbo and their Biafra Movement.  As an intellectual exercise, this is brilliant.  As political science, it is inane.  Ethnicity, self-determinism, and heredity are at issue, not tribes and tribulations.  The Igbo concerns are legitimate as a people awash in a foundering ship of state.  Some say it was never properly constructed in the first place and should never have been sent to sea, being unseaworthy.  Well, it may be a clumsy bathtub rather than a sleek yacht; but it is what you got; and decimation will not make things better.  To continue this naval imagery, bail water and pump the bilge while plugging the holes.  To abandon ship is to plunge into a sea of uncharted waters infested with sharks and pirates.  Secession is wrong-headed; but cultural and social consolidation is benign and effective.  Right intentions with wrong methodology!
Very true. Igbos are a tribal group. Nigeria is a country. In modern times a country is more acceptable than tribes. On this premises we seek the UNITED STATES OF AFRICA through AU. Currency is one factor of national life that stifles development and the stronger the government the better the currency.

   Many years ago, I attended a seminar in the Metropolitan area of Washington at which General Ojukwu was the principal speaker.  There is a video of the proceedings and it has been edited to remove the riot that broke out in the assembly.  The Maryland State troopers were called in to restore academic order.  My host and escort was from Ekiti.  "Wretched," he exclaimed. "These people are wretched!"  He later took a photograph posing with the General. 
THERE IS A VICIOUS ANIMOSITY AMONG OUR TRIBES

####
African leaders know that the reason why the United States of America is rich and powerful is because the states have given the American government their sovereign powers for the benefit of all Americans.
 
The above statement is the reason why SADA: www.sada54.org and www.sadainc.org has adopted the American system of governance. Read "We the People" in the Preamble of the American constitution:
 
African leaders whether through ignorance of sheer disregard for the truth have refused to see the Americans in the eyes and the African leaders continue to think that God has blessed the Americans. Ignorance is a bliss. They are ignorant of the "We the people" in the preamble of the American constitution means a whole lot. Your story above proves the point that most of my contemporary continental and Diaspora Africans are ignorant for we refuse even to form social organizations through the enabling laws of the states and federal governments.

   Brothers! Sisters! Brethren, All!  This is not way to run or form a nation; to operate a corporation; to govern a society; nor to campaign for law, order, and unification.  How can the Diaspora join with Africa, it there is no Africa to join with? 
What do you mean this is not the way to run or form a nation? Did any African form a nation? Not even Kwame Nkrumah formed a Ghana. It was the Berlin Conference of 1844-45 that brought about the nation states in Africa by balkanizing the continent. To operate a nation. How? Independence was given to a people who have been made animals according to history and sold in the market. Without training nor education, independence came to us. What do we do? Except to make a mess of ourselves. In fact considering the fact that there were no even secondary schools in Africa, the leaders tried with the people they had to manage the economy and run the state. It was during this stage that the African Americans should have been bold to grasp the African countries; but they also even now have been turned into a different Africans as this writer demonstrates very well.
Many here are pro-Africa in the abstract; but refrain from commitment because of these reported conditions.  There is a polite social comment here among advocates of cultural nationalism, "They're good folks and all, but..."  and here follows a long list of particulars, the beginnings of a litany of complaints. 
It is like a dream for Africans in America to think of the continental leaders as capable when most of them have literally no education in the Western Administration of a nation. How do we administer a nation like Ghana in 1957 and Congo in 1960 for the leaders to run a government?
 
Even with all the land grant university to Africans in America, I came here to be the chief accountant of the OIC only to find that only ministers of gospel ran the organization consequently, OIC fell. I yet have to see any African who is aspired to make a dent in Africa or in America. The continental leaders have tried their best despite the manipulations of the Europeans to steal almost everything from Africa


   Why should we repatriate and give up the comforts and securities of American citizenship for that kind of uncertainty? 
Why should the Africans in America run into the mess in Africa, except but for African nationalism which has been stolen away from us by Europeans in indirect way by heaping all kinds of dirt on Africa. Staying in America one gets to know that nothing happens in Africa. But that is false. If you really want to enjoy this world, go to Africa and you may never return.
We can do bad on our own.  Why should we abandon constitutional strict constructionalism for hanky-panky? 
Our societies in America are as messy if not worst than those in Africa. Generally speaking, lack of amenities in Africa and the fact that Africa has been freed since 1957, makes it hard for proper administration. Take Ghana for example, the socialists and communists undermined Nkrumah more than the capitalists. The constitution left by Britain was replaced by communist and socialist constitution.
 
It took Rawlings to bring back the British approach to governance otherwise Ghana would have been left as the few communist country in the world. It was not Nkrumah's fault, it was the soviet  union which presented shady plan to the otherwise a wise leader.
Why should we give up orderly though sometimes contentious change of electoral government for personal rulership and dynastic despotism?
You are right. Why should any sane person run into socialist and communist country where the state has the right to detain and imprison without the due process of the law?

   Also there are questions and observations like Why are there so many of them here?  Why don't they return home" 
I was home from 1977 to 1987 and God only knows I was almost killed because of ignorance of our leaders and military men. Why should we go home to get killed by idiots who know nothing of administration but scoop money left and right with decrees? Now that constitutional governments under political parties are being installed in most countries, lots of students are returning home.
Why should we rush into a land and situation when so many of them are running to get out to anywhere but there? 
Africans in America are not rushing to Africa, and the few that go there come back crying of hostile environment. General mosquito and hot summer are few but on the whole, there is no place than living in the tropics; all been equal.
There must be something profoundly wrong in Africa if its people are willing to risk life, limb, and treasure to escape that reality?  There must be something very very wrong if they would rather sleep on the streets of American rather than to go back?
Yes, there are many things wrong in Africa. Can you imagine Africans in America running the USA 50 years after 1863? Even now most Africans in America are in the south where they are treated liken animals had Dr. King not come in with the civil right movements. To me life in Africa and the conditions in Africa are almost the same if not better than the conditions of our people in America where without government subsidy, Africans would die from hunger and deprivations.

   For the masses of our people, these are hints to what they see and think.  They would like to help.  Truly. 
The masses of our people do not have much to say or do except for the so called  leaders like you. You are to take the initial step for the masses to see and you have refused even me when I came to you with SADA. The masses just follow what is told. But the so called leaders must be honest and sincere. I see sincerity lacking in most of the so called leaders in America. Few leaders of our people in America are willing to help even when they can. The evidence is every where and for that it is a shame that there is no social organization to mobilize the masses of our people in America. It really hurts to notice so much scholars and businessmen and women who can organize our people for social actions but have refused to do it blatanlly.
We do see Africa as our ancestral homeland despoiled by invaders from Europe and Asia.  We accept Africans as our kinsmen; but these behaviors give pause to the impulses to embrace the continent.  Why, some ask, should we give them monies which will be stolen or stashed in Switzerland or some other such place?  
Honestly, the continental Africans have no knowledge of the existence of Africans in America. Since 1962 when I landed, I have encountered so many Negroes who do not even know that they came from Africa. Lack of education is the cause but can you imagine that despite all the institutions like Howard University and many hundreds of them in the country with scholars teaching thousands of African children and the children come out of school with little or no knowledge of their roots? The Jews and the Latinos have institutions helping their people, where is the African America social organizations mobilizing our people even in 2015. None. Not NAACP or the Urban League for both do not cater to our interests as Africans. Their African ethnicity was completely destroyed by chattel slave trade which make Africans animals. Hence the only time we come together as a people is when one of us is killed by a white police officer. But no so when one of us is killed in our communities by one of us. This was true in slavery days and it is true now. We are never proactive but reactive. 

   At a recent seminar on the Central African Republic and its prevailing conditions, a panelist mentioned that in a conversation with executives in that country, one replied to the question on development by saying, "Development? That's not our responsibility.  That's for you guys; for NGOs and donor nations."
The Negro from Africa's statement is correct because the Europeans have made continental Africans to feel that we are  part of Europe and that they will develop Africa when that is a lie for any observant for if 500 years of occupation, slavery ,colonialism, imperialism and neocolonialism, the Europeans never built a single elementary school until Nkrumah came on the scene.  What a shame. Of course, in America, education of the Africans were prohibited by law and it took Frederick Douglass to usher in the demolishing of slavery to enable Africans gradually to  get some modicum of education; first under separate but equal doctrine 

   St another set of seminars, one of  Capitol Hill with Rep. Karen Bass; and the other at the Woodrow Wilson Center, the discussions were about African emigration into Europe.  The Ambassador for the EU and a spokesman for Germany expressed the same common view:  Eighty-percent of immigrants admitted to Europe will not be Africans. So to lessen the suffering of the African nations, they, the USA and EU, were prepared to fund programs that would stem the tide of this futile migration urge by improving conditions in Africa to redress the needs of these refugees.  A few weeks later, at Valletta in Malta, the donor nations offered two billion Euros to the AU to support an initiative and effort to reverse the labor flow and brain drain out of Africa.  The African Union rejected the proposal.
Africa is dependent on Europeans and this dependency will continue for a very long, long time.

  Yet, at the African Global Diaspora Summit/Conference/Convention [the name kept changing], the African Union officials encouraged the delegates to invest in Africa and participate in its development.  What Africa?  What developments?
Africa is changing so rapidly that in few years time real change may take place when AU changes into a political union. Seek ye first a political Union and all things will be added unto you. Africa has started the political union. The Founding Fathers of America have shown the way to development that contiguous nations once united will prospoer.

   There are those, however, who keep the faith; and there are those who see a can of worms.

Now, to return to Biafra for the close.  The Igbo are within their rights to seek redress of their grievances, to organize themselves for self-governance, development, and improvement without regard for their neighbors.  The have the right, if not the obligation to pull back from the brink overlook chaos.  We/they are not lemmings, committed to mass suicide merely to follow a negative fashion.  However, they are slightly askew in their position by advocating or threatening secession.  Nigerian needs clear minds and calm hearts.  If they be as mental as they are touted to be, they can do that.  Following South Sudan for a mere show is futile.  Remember their Ojukwu period.  Their new Biafra would be a miniature country {of which Africa has too many].  Decimating ourselves is self-destruction; especially in the campaign to unify the continent.  The Central African Republic is another study in point.  In this wise, the Igbo are being wrongly guided toward chaos, in the name of glories and honor.  The right path is the orthodox path. 
In modern times, it does not make sense to talk of small tribes becoming states capable of governing themselves. The cost of money, what you call interest rate is the killer of most countries. Countries like Spain, Portugal are examples of failed states which were propped by Adam Smith economics of raping other people and building their countries. Even though now they are still raping Africa, we are becoming wiser. If we unite, then sky is the limit for economic development.  Igbos will suffer if they form a government for it takes more  to form  a government than sentiments of lost war.


Organize Biafra as an intellectual and hereditary society in a parochial system.  [Imperium imperio: Follow the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution; or the Sons and Daughters of the American Confederacy for studies in "state within a state" relations.]  In this way, the Igbo could/would become a light unto the nations, which Africa badly needs.  African needs models of success leading to continental unity.  Because of the complexity of Africa and its particulars, finding a mode of cooperation providing diversity within unity and unity within diversity is more than a conundrum.  It's the Gordian Knot of our destiny.  If the AU is to succeed and if the Diaspora is to join in the campaign for the unification of the continent, what a splendid achievement if the Igbo can emerge to show the way.
 
Even if the Igbos succeed in building a nation, they will crash in the long run. It is so because smaller nations have no future. It is only organized people that have a future. AU is the way out but Africans in America instead of backing up AU a our government are waiting for Africa to develop first. Human nature being what we are, it may be too late. This is the time for Africans in America to show  our Africanity but people like you with knowledge are   waiting until the tiger is out of  the bag and then it is too late. Why not join SADA?
We need an organization in America to pull both sides of our people together. You are showing a very negative part of life called "Aboro" in Twi among the Akan people  of Ghana. You are refusing to help our poor peoples and countries because you do not stand to gain now so you want the white to build our  communities. I do not think the whites are ready yet to  help us. We must pull  all our  energies given to us by God to form an organization like B' Nai Brith or LARAZA to  help our  people. Nothing else.

3.  Before British colonial rule, the Igbo were a politically fragmented group. There were variations in culture such as in art styles, attire and religious practices. Various subgroups were organized by clan, lineage, village affiliation, and dialect. There were not many centralized chiefdoms, hereditary aristocracy, or kingship customs except in kingdoms such as those of the Nri, Arochukwu, Agbor and Onitsha

4.By the mid-20th century, the Igbo people developed a strong sense of ethnic identity.  MASSOB, a sectarian organization formed in 1999, continues a non-violent struggle for an independent Igbo state

5.  Due to the effects of migration and the Atlantic slave trade, there are descendant ethnic Igbo populations in countries such as Cameroon[12] and Equatorial Guinea,[13] as well as outside Africa. Their exact population outside Africa is unknown, but today many African Americans and Afro Caribbeans are of Igbo descent.

Traditional society

Traditional Igbo political organization was based on a quasi-democratic republican system of government. In tight knit communities, this system guaranteed its citizens equality, as opposed to a feudalist system with a king ruling over subjects.[38] This government system was witnessed by the Portuguese who first arrived and met with the Igbo people in the 15th century.[39] With the exception of a few notable Igbo towns such as Onitsha, which had kings called Obi, and places like the Nri Kingdom and Arochukwu, which had priest kings; Igbo communities and area governments were overwhelmingly ruled solely by a republican consultative assembly of the common people.[38] Communities were usually governed and administered by a council of elders.[40]

6.
Mathematics in indigenous Igbo society is evident in their calendar, banking system and strategic betting game called Okwe.[45] In their indigenous calendar, a week had four days, a month consisted of seven weeks and 13 months made a year. In the last month, an extra day was added.[46][47] This calendar is still used in indigenous Igbo villages and towns to determine market days.[48] They settled law matters via mediators, and their banking system for loans and savings, called Isusu, is also still used.[49] The Igbo new year, starting with the month Ọ́nwạ́ M̀bụ́ (Igbo: First Moon) occurs on the third week of February,[50] although the traditional start of the year for many Igbo communities is around springtime in Ọ́nwạ́ Ágwụ́ (June).[51][52] Used as a ceremonial script by secret societies, the Igbo have an indigenous ideographic set of symbols called Nsibidi, originating from the neighboring Ejagham people.[53] Igbo people produced bronzes from as early as the 9th century, some of which have been found at the town of Igbo Ukwu, Anambra state.[25]

7.
The transatlantic trade, which took place between the 16th and late 19th centuries, had huge effects on the Igbo because so many young people were taken, and warfare increased for the taking of captives. Most Igbo captives were taken from the Bight of Biafra (also known as the Bight of Bonny).[63] This area included modern day southeastern Nigeria, Western Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and parts of Northern Gabon.[64] Major trade ports for goods and labor in the area included Bonny and Calabar Town. A large number of these captives from the Bight of Biafra would have been Igbo.[65][66]  They were sold to Europeans by the Aro Confederacy, who kidnapped or bought these Africans from Igbo villages in the hinterland.[67]  These Igbo were known to the British as being rebellious and having a high rate of suicide to escape captivity.[69][70][71] For still unknown reasons, there is evidence that traders sought Igbo women

8.  The Igbo were dispersed to colonies such as Jamaica,[19] Cuba,[19] Saint-Domingue,[19] Barbados,[75] the United States,[76] Belize[77] and Trinidad and Tobago,[78] among others. 

The Igbo were affected heavily by the Atlantic slave trade in the 18th century. Igbo slaves were known for being rebellious and having a high count of suicide in defiance of slavery.[1][2][3] In the United States the Igbo were most numerous in the states of Maryland (coincidentally where there is a predominant population of recent Igbo immigrants)[4] and Virginia,[5] so much so that some historians have denominated colonial Virginia as “Igbo land.”[6]

With a total of 37,000 Africans that arrived in Virginia from Calabar in the 18th century, 30,000 were Igbo according to Douglas B. Chambers.[5] The Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia estimates around 38% of captives taken to Virginia were from the Bight of Biafra.[7] Igbo peoples constituted the majority of enslaved Africans in Maryland.[5] Chambers has been quoted saying "My research suggests that perhaps 60 percent of black Americans have at least one Igbo ancestor..."[8]

9. The high concentration of Igbo slaves in Virginia was contributed to further by neighboring states. Planters in South Carolina and Georgia looked down on Igbo slaves because many were rebellious. Because of this the majority of Igbo slaves were taken and sold to Virginian planters. 

Virginia was the colony that took in the largest percentage of Igbo slaves. Researchers such as David Eltis estimate between 30—45% of the 'imported' slaves were from the Bight of Biafra, of these slaves 80% were likely Igbo. A so-called conservative estimate of the amount of Igbo taken into Virginia between 1698 and 1778 is placed at 25,000. The Igbo concentration was especially high in the Tidewater and Piedmont regions of the Virginia interior.[9] One of the reasons for this high number of Igbo slaves in Virginia was the domination of the Bight of Biafra region of Africa by Bristol and Liverpool English merchants who frequently brought Bight of Biafra slaves to British colonies, Virginia being one of these colonies.###
So many Africans were stolen to the Western world that it is beyond my imagination to consider the number. When I was coming to the USA in 10962, I came by a boat. In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean we ran into a school of fishes which I later found from the captain that those were sharks which had tested the flesh of human beings and they were there about 10 miles square waiting for ships to dump Africans in the waters so that they sharks can eat the flesh of the Africans.
 
There is no doubt in my mind that the author of this article John, an African American is an Igbo. He looks like one and talks like one.
 
But the many people taken from  West Africa, there can be more people from Ghana than at any other  place. There were more than 60 castles built to process the Africans. The castles start from the North of Ghana through the center of Ghana, the Asantes and to the South. No wonder the population of Ghana was only 5 million at the time of independence and now 60 years later it is now 25 million. Can you calculate the population of Ghana at the end of slavery and before slavery and during  =slavery.

"I was of the view that Herbert Macaulay died of natural cause - heart attack. However, in the back of my mind, I wonder why he could die so young (this is not to say heart attack doesn't happen to young people)."......Ignoramus Vin Otuonye.


Herbert Macaulay was 81 or 82, when he died.  Even his last famous picture showed his mustache having lots of grey with facial wrinkles and all. 
Vin, That's dying so young in your Man-eating village of Orlu where people disafear before age 18?
Ooooogbadun.

It's damn too early a weekend for this your shit. Take it St Elsewhere!

It was rumored an Igbo who later took Macaulay's spot and party, was the last man to brew him hot tea.

Thank you very much Mr Agwunobi for your comments and observations on Alabi Isama book. The truth has to be told no matter what.
