Did you know that there are Igbo people in Equatorial Guinea?They occupy a small area in Bioko, an island of the African nation. Bioko is the largest region in Equatorial Guinea. The inhabitants speak Pidgin English, Spanish, Fang, Bubi and Igbo indigenous languages.

Equatorial Guinea, which is located at the Eastern end of the Gulf of Guinea, West coast of Africa, is the only Spanish speaking country on the continent. The tribes dwelling in Equatorial Guinea include the Fang, Bubi and the Igbo people, who are also a dominant ethnic group in Nigeria.

Most people in Bioko conduct their daily lives in either Fang, Bubi or Igbo, all of which are in the Bantu family of languages. It is said during the Nigerian Civil War in the 20th century, relief agencies used the island as a base for flights into Biafra.

The Igbo, which is one of the major tribes in Nigeria, is also one of the tribes in Equatorial Guinea, a country in central Africa. The Igbo tribe is reportedly the third largest in Bioko. The population of the Igbo people in Equatorial Guinea is 33,500 according to 2015 population figures.

Their primary language is Igbo. The primary religion practiced by the Igbo is marginal Christianity, a form of religion with roots in Christianity but not theologically Christian.

Equatorial Guineans identify first with their ethnic group or tribe, and secondly with the nation. The current country was formed during Spanish rule, linking the mainland territory with the main island of Bioko, despite the fact that the two were culturally different.

The Igbo people in Bioko are believed to have migrated from Arochukwu in Abia State, south-east Nigeria. The Igbo people in Equatorial Guinea should be given permanent membership in “Ohaneze” and the World Igbo Congress, as it is their right.

REVEALED! How so many Igbo clans was ceded to other communities in Nigeria

Are you aware that sometime in 1939 some Anioma communities in present day Delta and Edo states was carved out of the core Igbo heartland despite protests from Anioma kings then to the British colonial authorities?

The same period the Ezza community of present Ebonyi state was carved into Benue state of present day.

Again, in 1976 during the Murtala Mohammed regime, Ahoada and Port Harcourt was ceded to Ijaw dominated River state. Do you still wonder how Igbo speaking people are now minorities in other states?
This was carried out despite rejection by the people to the Willink commission on boundary adjustment.

Still in 1976, oil rich Obigbo LGA in Aba division of old Imo state was ceded to Rivers state. Obigbo is Ndoki clan and has over 50 oil wells, they are pure Igbo people separated from their Azummili kins by the Imo river.

Ohugbu, an oil rich Ndoki community was ceded to Akwa Ibom state. Ohugbu is one of the highest onshore gas and oil producing area.

In the same 1976, the Egbema community was balkanized into three towns with the highest oil producing town ceded to River state from old Imo state.

Same time too, Ndoni was carved out of Aboha and given to Rivers state. Ndoni and Ogbaru are same people. Ogbaru is in Anambra with some of their kinsmen in Delta state.

We know that these oil producing areas of Igbo land was the highest oil producing areas pre 1966 and that the Hausa/Fulani led military government has partitioned our land in other to remove Igbo land as the highest oil producing region in the land.

The envious Hausa/Fulani government acted contemptuously in other to gain control of our oil and soon after these sordid act, they started sharing our oil wells to themselves hence, today they control almost eighty two of such.

This is where I expect Ohaneze to act. They should do all within their ability to recover all our lands dubiously ceded to other regions.

Only then can we see them as true representatives of our people

The Igbo Landing

In Dunbar Creek on St. Simons Island, Glynn County, Georgia, there is a deeply historic site called Igbo Landing.

The site is named because of the mass su***de of Igbo people captured as slaves in 1803.

The history started when about 100 Igbo people from what's now known as Nigeria were captured, bounded and put on ship to be sold as slaves in plantations across the Americas.

The slaves were bought for about $100 each by slave merchants John Couper and Thomas Spalding. During the voyage, the Igbo slaves rose in rebellion and drowned their captors.

The ship was grounded. Left with no clear direction of how to go back home and refusing to proceed to the land of the enslavers, all the slaves marched ashore singing, led by their high chief. Then at his order, they all committed su***de by walking into the marshy waters of Dunbar Creek. They chose to die rather than be a slave in an unknown land.

Today, the story stands as a cherised cultural history of bravery for millions of African-American.

The Igbo Landing story is now part of the curriculum for coastal Georgia schools, reminding young African-Americans that some of their ancestors were brave people who would rather die than live in oppression.

COMPREHENSIVE HISTORY OF HOW THE NIGERIAN ARMY CAME TO BE

The history of the Nigerian Army dates back to 1863 when Lt. Glover of the Royal Navy selected 18 indigenes from the Northern part of what is now Nigeria and organized them into a local force, called the “Glover Hausas”.

The small army of locals was used by Glover during his rule as the governor of Lagos to carry out punitive expeditions in the Lagos hinterland and as well to protect British trade routes around Lagos.

In 1865, the “Glover Hausas” became a regular force and had their name changed to “Hausa Constabulary”. They performed both police and military duties for the colonial government. They later became ‘Lagos Constabulary.”

On incorporation into the West Africa Frontier Force (WAFF). In 1901, They became known as “Lagos Battalion.” In addition to the force, the British government included the Royal Niger Company (RNC), Constabulary Force in Northern Nigeria in 1886 and the oil rivers irregular in 1891.

In 1889, Lord Fredrick Lugard had formed the incipient body of what was to be known in 1890 as the West Africa Frontier Force, (WAFF), in Jebba, Northern Nigeria.

The new unit expanded by absorbing the Northern Nigeria-based elements of the Royal Niger Company (RNC) Constabulary. By the end of 1901, it had incorporated all paramilitary units in the other British dependencies into its command, thus fully meriting its designation “WAFF.”

The establishment of West African Frontier Force (WAFF) led to the merger of all units into regiment in each of the dependencies. The merger in Nigeria produced the northern Nigerian Regiment and Southern Nigerian Regiment.

The First commanders of the Southern Regiments of WAFF were Lt CHP Carter (1899-1901) and Col J Wilcox (1900-1909) respectively. The two regiments were later used for expeditions during the annexation of Nigeria by Lord Lugard between 1901 and 1903.

With the amalgamation of Nigeria in 1914, the unification of the northern and Southern Regiments came into being and this witnessed the birth of the Nigerian Regiments.

The Northern Nigerian Regiments became the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Nigerian Regiment, while the Southern Nigerian Regiment became the 3rd and 4th Battalions of the Nigerian Regiments (NR).

The mounted infantry of the Northern Regiments became the ordinary Infantry Battalion after the Second World War. A field artillery also existed in the Northern Regiment.

With the visit of Queen Elizabeth of Britain between 28 January and 15 February, 1956, the Nigerian regiment was renamed the Queens Own Nigerian Regiments (QONR).

Also in the same year, the regionalization of the WAFF came into existence and each military force became independent of the other. As a result, the QONR became the Nigerian Military Force (NMF).

By 1st June, 1958, the British Army Council in London relinquished control of NMF to the Nigerian Government.

In 1960, when Nigeria became independent, the NMF became known as Royal Nigerian Army (RNA). When Nigeria became a republic, the RNA changed to the Nigerian Army.

In the same year, the Army changed its uniform, rank structure and instruments from those of RWAFF to new ones including green khaki uniform.

Some of you Indomie generation and those of you who weren't "privileged" to live in face me I face you house may not understand this interior decor.
Listen now. Whoever is the owner of this room was certainly the champion of the yard that year. whenever he's around the house he doesn't wear clothes he ties one big multicoloured towel around the compound with chewing stick in his mouth, if you want to engage him in a discussion, he doesn't talk much, he'll just be nodding until the point when saliva has filled his mouth, then he'll spit it all out and then he'll reply you. He has a beautiful wife who need to talk first and then she'll pass the message to him.

When he's not tying his towel he'd be tying one piece of his wife’s wrapper whilst madam ties the other piece.. Then you'd hear his wife sing church song all over the compound to get the attention of the other tenants and ultimately get them jealous..
