The Igbo did not kịlll Isaac Adaka Boro for declaring Izon Nation

 The Igbo did not kịlll Isaac Adaka Boro for declaring Izon Nation out of Eastern Region in 1966 neither did they have hands in his death in 1968 when he was a Major under Federal troop, deployed to fight against Biafra in the Niger Delta creek alongside Major Adekunle, the notorious Black Scorpion.

I used to discuss Nigerian history on Twitter and Facebook for years, but had to stop because most people do not want to think with their head, read, ask questions. They don't know about their past or care to know. It's all about emotions, sentiment and propaganda.

Let me give you a background of this history again, I have written about it over and over, but I saw how mischievous people like Reno Omokri and co wanted to repaint it, seizing the moment to unleash.

It's unfortunate that some of our brothers made it hard to defend ndị Igbo— even more shameful to do so now. whatever an outsider paints now might seem like truth because of actions and inactions of some of our people online or offline who don't know themselves but brainwashed and act like dangerous imbecỊles. They move like brainwashed locusts unleashing on every trees of dissenting opinions who don't pander to their emotions.

Listen to this brief history....

Jasper Isaac Adaka Boro was the President of the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) Students Union in the 1964/65 session, after he defeated Jude Emezie, an Igbo student, with 11 votes. Adaka Boro was a young vibrant Ijaw man.

Igbo students constituted the majority at UNN and Emezie was strongly backed by the outgoing president, Onyemanze Ejiogu. There was a third candidate, Secretary General Francis Okolie. Igbo students chose Boro, an Izon man to lead them.

However, following the flawed Federal elections of 1964, UNN under the leadership of Boro took the Federal Government to court. Boro was First Plaintiff. Second Plaintiff was Emezie.

Boro did not return to Nsukka after that. He chose to remain in Lagos. The FCT then.

The next anyone could hear of him was leader, Niger Delta Volunteer Forces. The Fulani Caliphate bought him over and used him to destabilize the government of Eastern Region, which his younger brother — David Boro confirmed as attached on this post.

In March 1966, he declared Niger Delta Republic, hoisting a flag and flaunting a constitution. Aguiyi Ironsi was the Military Governor of Nigeria then.

Boro was tried by a Port Harcourt High Court presided over by Justice Phil Ebosie. He was defended by Godfrey Amachree and found guilty alongside his lieutenants, Sam Timipre Owonaro and Nottingham Dick. He was sentenced for treason.

The Supreme Court upheld the judgment. Justices of the Supreme Court were Chief Justice of Nigeria, Adetokunbo Ademola, Ian Lewis, G.B.A. Coker, Charles Daddy Onyeama and Frank Ajegbo.

One may ask, why did Biafra also secede the following year and refused Boro to secede with Niger Delta? While I agree that there were many ways that 1967 war should have been averted, or the conflict managed without getting to the extreme. You may read Nnamdi Azikiwe's autobiography to figure out. There was genOcide targeted at the Igbo. The Kano pogrom of 1966 had over 30,000 Igbo kỊllEd. The senior Igbo army officers were being kỊllEd.

The Eastern Consultative Assembly were even the ones who encouraged Ojukwu to secede Nigeria. Ironically and funnily, an Ijaw man brought the name Biafra to be used in the new country.

When the war broke out in 1967 Boro was released from detention and he joined the federal forces in the rank of Major to fight against the Biafra.

He helped the 3rd Marine Commandos clear Biafra from the Niger Delta creeks. He was fighting alongside dangerous Black Scorpion— federal officer, Major Adekunle who was rumored to have killLed him during the war in May 9, 1968 in Ogu, Okirika , Rivers State because Boko was becoming more powerful than him. Black Scorpion was so notorious in Rivers side.

The younger brother of Isaac Boro confirmed that Boro was working for Northern Nigeria who encouraged him for the 12-day revolution.

The Igbo never killẸd him began he declared Niger Delta Republic — Izon Nation. Yes, he's the first to declare secession as pushed by the Northern Nigeria.
