Image
Goveror Ifeanyi Okowa who spoke at the Niger Delta Peace and Security Summit held in Koko, Warri North Local Government Area, stated that Nigeria will break up when South-South agrees to join Biafra. The Delta State Governor who was represented by his Executive Assistant/Directorate of Orientation, Barr. Eugene. A. Uzum, stated that some parts of Nigeria were being oppressed just as he cautioned that peace may continue to elude us as a people. Stating that Nigeria will break up when South-South agrees to join Biafra, Governor Okowa added that until the people in the South-South unite they cannot move forward. “Nigeria will divide the very day the South-South agrees to join Biafra".

Years later, he was awarded the honours of Commander of the British Empire at an elaborate ceremony in Zungeru in 1909 witnessed by all the other Emirs and Chiefs of the Niger Province. He was irrepressible, defiant and remained indomitable in the years of British captivity in Yola and later Lokoja. In his absence, his vast territory became ungovernable to his British conquerors who could not bring the disparate tribes and chiefdoms under his suzerainty to heel. In the end, faced with the inevitable disintegration of the territory, Lugard ate humble pie and reinstalled him back on the throne of his father in 1906.
