guy this is the map i had in mind but you should have included that broomstick kingdom with aboki koboko empire.

kettykings:

Thank you Bros for the reminder
India which consisted 3 countries india, pakistan, bangladesh would have been busy spending billions of dollars in pursuit of islamic insurgents and suicide bombers rather than on Research and development if they were lumped in the same country in 1950 rather than going their separate ways.

Today India and Pakistan are world economic powers and nuclear and space powers. while Nigeria is busy every year spending billions fighting an internal war while loafers and Hypocrites are shouting one Nigeria

ijaw citizen: Asari Dokubo is the greatest fool Ijawland has ever produced!

You wanna know why he is spewing all this rubbish and at the same portraying Niger Deltans in bad light?
Answer is because he is half Igbo!

The question I want to ask these ALL RIGHTEOUS IGBOS IS: Won't Ijaws be better off in a NIGER DELTA REPUBLIC declared 1966, other than a Biafra decleared in 1967?

It baffles me that these set of Igbos are poor student of history. Let me point out to you all that the North respected the Ijaws in Nigeria until the military took over. And guess who started coup plotting that Northerners mastered better?

OK_2_NV: And there is this falsehood the SW keeps spreading or wanting to hear all the time, that their region is the most developed.

How can this be possible?

Let me give you an annalyis why this is a myth.

I will cite the aviation industry and look at key destination airports outside Abuja and Lagos.
I chose aviation sector because globally this sector is used to gauge the strength of any economy. If the aviation sector is in decline then hitherto business and leisure travels will be affected. The airlines are usually the first to declare losses prior to an impending economic crisis and economists use the health of this sector which is highly prone to broad economic factors as a guide. The aviation sector can also be used to show strength and growth as well.

In Nigeria today, the southeast and niger-delta region have huge capcity as destination aeroports. Owerri , Enugu, Calabar, Portharcourt, Asaba, Osubi and even Benin Airports enjoy relatively strong air traffic outside Lagos and Abuja. Volumes of flights to these destinations account for the bulk of local departures out of Lagos and Abuja.

This goes to show that these regions are enjoying strong economic growth or have a huge middle-class population than any other region.
By the way, the strength of which economy are you talking about. Most of those places apart from port harcourt and Benin and partially Enugu are sleepy villages.what other industries do you have in the rest apart from government.

For the north it is either Kano or Maiduguri the reason being more of security challenge.

And as for the SW there isn't any other destined flights to any city outside Lagos.



case closed!

Obiagu1: Nigeria will still go back to its default countries.

A big pile of poop that is devoid of any reasoning or analysis. Why do I have to travel a distance of 100km by air from Lagos to Ibadan . Why would anyone think a 2hr journey from Ibadan to akure is best undertaken by air .especially with the chaotic and disorganised nature of the aviation sector.happy to say that a wise man will avoid taking any of those flying coffin. Also ,many of those using the airports are executives from the southwest and expatriate going on inspection visits.also bare in mind that any journey by road beyond Benin is like an Hail Mary pass.the Lagos airport is ok for southwest. The Ibadan airport can cater for osun ,kwara and oyo.airports come a dollar a dime. Air transport is nothing different from other forms of transportation . Having flown around Europe and America via regional airlines easyjet ,Thomson ,delta,wizzair etc ,I can safely say that the glamour which used to be attached to the air has gone. The stress involved using this form of transportation makes it the one I dread most.i prefer train ,coach and road in that order.it is only in Naija where air travel is regarded as a status symbol.

masu: I agree with asari on this bcus we the middle beltans continue to regret thw mistate our fathers made.

An ibo man love live and let live.

berem: So what's the way forward? fight another war to correct the mistakes of the SouthSouth?

Dedetwo:



You can write the above craps until your miserable life expires on earth. One fact about Nigeria and Biafra remains that dire is cast and the happen has happened. I guess the sure bet for you is to commit suicide because you can not change the historical facts about events of 1967 Nigeria.

bloggernaija:


Dreamers. There will be no biafra beyond the Niger. Mark my words.

prodam: I don't know why citizens who are aware of how the so-called biafran side was defeated shamelessly during the civil war would still be clamoring for the division.

That aside, Asari-Dokubo has been a controversial figure since his days the president of the ijaw youth council. Cheap popularity accumulated through daring statements, and provoking speeches. Its not all about being an activist, its about causing positive change to happen. is joe Odumakin not an activist, or the late Fawenhimi; these are people whose work spoke for them and would continue to speak for them.

Why bringing up issues that will stir and polarize public opinion. Issues that will litter educating forums like Nairaland. At a time like this when patriots are acting right and praying for the nation's peace and development. An activist is not being diplomatic about bringing up issues that segregate groups.

Never mind the fool. Ijaw Citizen, kindly educate us about the declaration of Niger Delta in 1966 and what made it not to see the rising sun? As for your north respecting Ijaw is self delusion. Why are south south people so afraid to declare south south republic now? The question for you is, if Ijaws will be better of in south south republic, why are they so scared to declare it now? That Asari is half IGBO is not an excuse to condemn him for speaking out on what he believes or convinced in. The same way the northerners mastered better coup plotting is the same way they mastered suicide bombings that have rubbished the government of your brother Jonathan and made it a laughing stock in the community of progressive minds. I guess the sure bet for you is to commit suicide because there will be no south south republic without Biafra first. Please kindly forget about 50% resource control because your northern friends will never give it to you as their friends. Too bad. Let me not remind you that 80% of oil wells in your backyard is owned by mallam while you suffer environmental degradation and pollution. Can a south south man own an oil well in sokoto?

confusion247:
That Biafra was shamelessly defeated wasn't the issue. The issue is, what is wrong for people to ask for freedom from an unholy marriage? What exactly leads us to Biafra? Why are yoruba leaders and elders asking for true or fiscal federalism and confederation? The same thing contained in aburi accord? Hypocrites like you and Gowon will continue to pray while boko haram will continue to kill innocent Nigerians. Why didn't you and your people pray when Biafra was declared by Ojukwu, but you people abandoned prayer to go into conflict with Biafra that resulted in your so called shameless defeat. Did USA use prayer to kill OSAMA BIN LADEN? Be honest to yourself at least for once. Was it prayer that Mandela used to turn south Africa to the right path?

One_Naira: it

Some say ijaw citizen is alj_harem handle. how true is it idk but it's plausible. I noticed the guy never makes an input unless it's Biafra, SS Igbo, or SS joining Biafra, mistakes about Biafra, or SSIgbo joining Biafra. he rarely makes an input in anything else to be honest so I don't doubt the claim but i can't say it's accurate or inaccurate either.

Eko Ile:

Invading Yorubaland and others wasn't asking for freedom, it was more like intent to conquer, dominate and enslave other people.....

When are you people going to come to terms with that goofy and thoughtless adventure?

van bonattel:

The last time I checked, it was a yoruba man that led the invasion of the mid west and Ore. Ojukwu shot him dead when he returned. Why any sane person should pin that juvenile delinquency on Biafra surprises me.
