A Biafra activist, Mr Keribo Minakobiribo Wisdom, Wednesday said that Ijaws are more Biafra than Niger Delta. Wisdom also known as Dodorima Biafra, in statement made available to Vanguard, disagreed with those, including, Mr Asari Dokubo and Mrs Annikio Briggs, who are claiming that Ijaws are not Biafrans. Wisdom accused some British particularly Mr Willlink, of making deliberate effort to divide and weaken the potency of Ijaw unity with their Igbo brothers who share same cultural heritage with them
. He however urged some Ijaw people who are criticizing Mazi Kanu, over his comment that Ijaw are Biafrans to stop their criticisms that are capable of causing confusion among the young generation of Ijaw that Abonnema is not Biafra.
“My name is Engineer Keribo Minakobiribo. I am from Buguma in Tom-Geroge compound, but I grew up in Tombia Kingdom.
The essence of disclosing my identity is to prove to Mr Asari Dokubo of Buguma, and Mrs Annikio Briggs of Abonnema, that I am also a son of ijaw land. Wisdom’s statement read;
“Once, I was tender but like the saying goes that the young shall grow, I must speak and defend my region in its true identity as given by the Opu Tamuno in heaven and not the ways of the British foreigners and the invading Fulanis.”
