onomeasike: @superstar1,I can give you ten solid reasons why igbos can never win a war should remain subservient in Nigeria (if that's what you mean by Achilles heel).
That's my specialty

Balkan: this Yoruba boys will never relent in causing quandary between SE/SS. You poster. I have gone through your post and found out you belong to the laid back tribe. No need joining issues with you.

POPE II:

Are you for real? Please don't let your hate for Igbos kill you and kindly show me where Igbo are/were beating the war drum on your behalf .

jp philips:

How does resource control solve the many woes of the delta?

POPE II: them don't know Hausa plenty in Niger, manpower is very important Ijaw can't fight any war they should stop senseless and empty chest beating. They are going to b wiped off and the remaining Ijaws will b orphans who won't know anything about their history. Their region is already backward, so there's nothing to destroy there , the NA will send them back to prehistory.

nuclearboy: Igbos should NOT remain subservient! However, there also is no need for war! All that is required is co-operation and diplomacy with other tribes so that they can fully be integrated into the Nigerian state!

No point lying - they have been marginalized! That's the truth! But many Igbos haven't helped matters with fighting everyone!

The case of the Ijaws is also the same - warfare isn't a game of monopoly or ludo and nobody knows where twill end! If we were discussing fighting for the interest of someone who was really catering to their interest, one would understand but as it is, its ridiculous to imagine sensible people wanting to risk death of their family members over GEJ!

@lyng19: kudos

IGBO-SON:


^^^I've been reading your posts; either you're not Igbo, or you're a Lagos-brought up efulefu!

'Excuse to bomb SE' indeed!

Balkan: who will integrate who? You are funny boy. The Igbo man does not need integration. The igbo man has already taken charge in the Nigerian affairs. To hell with being the president of Nigeria. Tell me those tribes that have produced the president of this country, the one that is more progressive and richer than the igbo tribe.

We want to fully cease the economic power first. Then every other thing will be added unto us. I am a tribalist to the core no regrates. I am full blown igbo no appologies. I am a proud igbo man I don't give a dam about it. I can never claim any other tribe, hate me or call me a bigot that's what I am. Igbos have neighbours if think we can live together no problem. But not with laid back tribe.

If u re not ready for presidency, my ppl re ready o.
One thing I just want to tell my Igbo brothers is that when its tym nothing can stop us except if its not Gods will, also all doz talks abt northerners ruling for 40years it a big lie(if northerners staged a coup and it was succesful nobody stopped other tribes or region from attempting theirs, at least Obj is a testimony to that), I don't know if its that our leaders don't know how to play politics anymore or that we re just not ready to climb over to the next level, if Alex ekueme cud become d vice president just few years after d civil war even when d ethnic hatreds hadn't cleared like that what makes u think an Igbo man can't be president or vice president at this present time. Nigeria has had 14years of uninterupted democracy-
The yoruba's have had der 8years.
The north had only 2years because of some coincidence.
The ijaws had der 6years though its suppose to be 8.
Our time is coming but we need all hands on deck to make it happen, I hope that when we re ready we won't have some saboteurs.

lygn19:
Even if they like let them be 50million, nor region in dz Nigeria can fight the north alone, lemme just tell u sth, Nigeria no end for the border of kano, geographically it ends in kano area but dats not where it ends it still extends pass Niger, chad and d rest, kano state governor is almost as powerful as a president in Niger republic, if war start today, even without UN/or any super power's support, if other regions decide to look the other way, the se and the sw wud be overflowing with refugees by the time Asari see's war.
Don't fear d man that wud hold d knife and be shouting I wud kill u, fear the man that wud hide d knife yet won't shout but will kill u.

atlwireles:

How did the ijaw rule for 6years. What I'm I really missing with your comments

lygn19:
I am calculating from when GEJ took over power i.e 2009 to 2015. Coz I knw dat as at now although I know a trick GEJ can use to win 2015 election, but he aint gonna win if care is not taken.

atlwireles:

2015 will take care of itself.

Balkan: I don't know who your people are and I think I never used the word " ready" I don't know what problem you have with my comment.

lygn19:
U said to hell with the presidency, so I said if u no want d post, we need it o.
Also u said sth like
"we want to seize the political power first and every other thing will be added unto us"
If u ve held a govt post b4 u wud knw dat economic power comes first before economic power, political power can sabotage economic power but economic power can't.
If economic power was d main thing by now Dangote for be president, also politics has a lot to do with Dangote's riches.

onomeasike: 1) The Ijaws are minorities and they still have an exaggerated impression of their real population and geographical boundaries. (refer to their battles with original landowners in benin, warri, ilajeland etc and controversy over who is a real Ijaw for example people from where the president hail from are not historically regarded as Ijaws unlike Asari Dokubo who is from the real ijaw clans)



2) The Ijaws are seriously disadvantaged in terms of human and economic capital (most educated and wealthy Ijaws have a taste and lifestyle they believe is above the primitive settings of most ijaw clans and those currently stealing petro-dollars are stocking up arms for personal security/struggle for power and mostly investing outside ijawland )

3) The ijaw identity as a brand (like the igbo identity) is quietly assuming a negative perception that they may no longer be entrusted with sensitive national and security asset.

4) The ijaws are surrounded with people who will never support the ijaw in their struggle because they have been cheated or fought by the ijaw resulting to loss of lives and property ( the itsekiri, Benin, Ilaje, urhobo etc) will never be in a country to be dominated by the ijaw.

5) The ijaw cannot feed themselves due to paucity of land and the access to the sea can always be bombarded or barricaded (refer to the experience of the igbo during the Nigerian Civil War)

6) The ijaw have serious internal division and this current unity among their elite is temporary. Some ijaw communities have cheated one another in terms of oil well location revenue and they know same will continue in absence of a neutral arbiter (even within Nembe, there is historical enmity and unsettled scores between the two Nembe)

7) The ijaw have a system that promote laziness among the malefolks and most children are being catered for by their mothers whose wise counsel against war may prevail.

The ijaws are in serious economic poverty even right now let alone when there is war.The cost of consumables in ijaw communities is usually high because the expensive cost of water transportation of goods is usually built into the cost of goods (even ordinary sweet sold #5 costs #20 in far flung ijaw communities)

9.Ijaws lack health infrastructure and the casualties that may arise can not be handled by them.

10) They don't border any country like the Yoruba or northerners in the event that women and children have to move into safe camps or seek temporary asylum or secure alliances.

Finally, if there's any war, the battle ground is going to be ijawland!

What would be your advice to the ijaw if you are in their shoes?

PhenomenonVFX:

That is d problem I have with them on Nairaland. They are never bold. Always fickle. And they hide behind other people's tribe. They claim they are Edo or Ijaw or Itshekiri or sometimes even Igbo.
They are also shameless. When they are caught, they will rather continue lying through their teeth than go out with dignity. U can see d OP using an Urhobo name to further yoruba agenda. I have noticed that a long time ago.

Psylas: u're correct, i hv been watching his posts, he's not an Igbo

Balkan: what is the meaning of tufiakwa? Kowaram ihie oputara na asusu anyi. Aka ga akpara gi. " aka kpara ezekudele, ya ekwue Onye Chiri ozo" Nkpi na agba nne ya!
