hehehehehe, now the north and the west will have something to really worry about. I dey laugh oh

the west,north, south or east got nothing to worry about. The only problem Nigeria have now is People like you. Living abroad, having a Nice life and trying to start a war he/she or his/her Family will not be part off. People like you should be jailed.

FreeGlobe: hehehehehe, now the north and the west will have something to really worry about. I dey laugh oh

Yes they do. Those who think God gave them the right to steal OUR resources are in for a very rude shock.

To quote ASARI "we have seen the light at the end of the tunnel and nothing can drag us back".

No parasite of whatever tribe can stop us.

SE/SS is not a new thing, the regions were a country.

Talk and no action.I hope they are serious with the projects they just talked about.What has Biafra got to do with the thread anyway? Do you think in your deluded mind that South South is interested in Biafra? You better modify the title of your post with immediate effect!

Obiagu1: SE/SS is not a new thing, the regions were a country.

I wonder where this new brotherly love between the SS and SE will lead to. Am watching with keen interest.

berem: I wonder where this new brotherly love between the SS and SE will lead to. Am watching with keen interest.

Yes brotherly and have always been that way because the regions lived together for ages interacting with one another as one and became a country together before we were joined with people we don't know.

berem: I wonder where this new brotherly love between the SS and SE will lead to.

Ans: 98% votes from the SE for Goodluck Azikiwe Ebelechukwu Jonathan

Hehehehehe! I see......

Alh Haram will have a sleepless night tonight.

Obiagu1: Alh Haram will have a sleepless night tonight.

okay this was funny. lmfaoooo. I expect him to wake up his docile SS and SE ids up tomorrow. Bear we are about to see members none of us have seen for awhile, return back with full force. lmfaooo
Also expect dayokanu and co to have a heartattack. tomorrow comments would be an interesting read.

Misleading title...there's nothing Biafra about the meeting.

Lol @ thinking SS cares about Biafra lol

The same PDP Governors criminals that are looting your states dry,and are starving your children,worse than Awolowo did during the war, are the ones giving you hope? Smh!

Nigerians talk n make empty threats too much on the internet where their real faces r hidden. (it's entertaining really )


But, the day nairaland turns 'facebook' where real identities r on display, ill be the day Biafranism, civil war,Tribalism, regionalism & outright insults plus hate speech, ends on nairaland.



#.. Anyone behind a user name can run his mouth

The change we have all been waiting for is gradually creeping in,let them make it a form of competition to see who does more for his state and watch and see if SS and SE wont outshine other parts of the country.

Some people must just attache by force.

The Midwest had its capital in Benin and the Governor of Edo didnt attend yet some people thought they are integrating with some phoney midwest

These parasites sha

Biafra is back khor??op keep jonzing dere

This is game on.

Definitely, Edo is not expected to be part of this alliance just as it is not part of the SW alliance yet.

Merging together to improve the regions combined.

berem: I wonder where this new brotherly love between the SS and SE will lead to. Am watching with keen interest.

Listen to Asari, because the more you look, the less you see.

Gamji007: The same PDP Governors criminals that are looting your states dry,and are starving your children,worse than Awolowo did during the war, are the ones giving you hope? Smh!

How does it concern you? Just throw more bombs in your desert region.

saintneo: This is game on.

Definitely, Edo is not expected to be part of this alliance just as it is not part of the SW alliance yet.

Merging together to improve the regions combined.

The Edos obviously dont want to have anything to do with backwardsness.

berem: I wonder where this new brotherly love between the SS and SE will lead to. Am watching with keen interest.

It will endup producing governor Godswill Akpabio as presidential flag bearer for PDP,

Just watch out!

If "real", they should collect federal subventions into a common purse, elect amongst themselves a governor of this new "mideast region"

Then we will know how strong their "UNION" is!

Until then, bayelsa sounds different from anambra and each is fighting for his pocket and career, not even the people of his state! So. Make we hear word!

Very good devt.
The whole region should be completed integrated,in anticapation of biafra.
We have the human and material resources to do it.
We've wasted too much time.

dayokanu: Some people must just attache by force.

The Midwest had its capital in Benin and the Governor of Edo didnt attend yet some people thought they are integrating with some phoney midwest

These parasites sha

If Edo decides to play hancky-pancky with the SS/SE, then it will be ignored,atleast for now.

Action film

Texas.Cowgirl:
Lol @ thinking SS cares about Biafra lol

The hausa/fulani hegemony and born to rule attitude has woken the SS to a biafra consciousness.
Hausa/fulani has shot themselves in the foot in different ways.

Long awaited dream of the MB.

We realy need a strong group to join so that fulanis will be buried forever.

Let the integration continue faster.

If this economic integration is an honest one then my soul is already jolly with hope and enthusiasm. This conglomeration is long overdue. I wonder why this region wasted almost eternity in mutual distrust and suspicion. Maybe the evil wind blowing in parts of the country has shown each one who his real friends are.
I have developed a fully documented well tailored and implementable action plan for the fasted development of this region of my birth. If only we'd give it an honest committment for implementation then the picture of Nigeria would be like that of Rome and Naples.
God bless Nigeria and Nigerians

This is a welcomed development but OP I didn't heard or see the mention of Biafra, or was that your subconscious overtaking your conscious mind?
