Ofili notes [reposted as in the original]:
DELTA STATE IS HISTORICALLY
BIAFRA; as it is Geographically and Ethnically so, too
A most stupid thing [by Delta SSG to deny that Delta is part of Biafra] at a time when an Anioma Igbo is the
Governor of Delta state, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa just as an Ikwerre Igbo is also the
Governor of Rivers state, Barrister Wysome Wike giving us SEVEN IGBO GOVERNORS.
But a historically illiterate government plagued by a peculiar
group identity crisis, will always vomit rubbish. No wonder Delta is the most
ravished and troubled by armed Fulani herdsmen. Including killing the King of
one its oldest kingdoms, the late Obi of Ubulu Uku without any effective check
from the Delta state government that ever goes beyond the governor sounding
tough in his responsive anger.
The decision whether Dellta state is part of Biafra that it was
historically a part of, is no solely theirs. The decision rests squarely with
the people. Even Ojukwu as the former Governor of the entire old Eastern region
that now makes up South East and South south, knew that the decision was beyond
him. He had to seek the peoples’ permission before he went ahead to fight for
the classical Biafra.
Biafra may be geographically South East and South South, Biafra
is essentially Igbo. And the Igbo cut across the two regions and onto Edo state
and the Middle Belt.
So SS to the Governor, take your SS, sickle cell anemia
utterance to where it rightly belongs, A SICK BAY.
