What Is South South? by oluwalfa: 1:10pm On Nov 15, 2014 |
Please what the hell is South South? What makes one a South Southerner? I am trying to get my head around this because someone from Edo state and another from Ogoja all claim South South while someone from Abia is not. Is South South a U-Shape geographical location? Why? 1 Like |

stebell: The reasons why Niger delta is keeping the government is because of their lack of initiative to develop more competitive product from agriculture, mining, servicing, manufacturing etc. oil and gas only contributes 15% Nigeria gdp, so to somebody like me in construction industry paying top naira for oil, providing my own domestic water ( through bored hole), prividing my own sewage etc. oil revenue of $25 billions dollars iw not enough to even sustained Lagos state not to talk of Nigeria 1 Like 2 Shares |

InyinyaAgbaOku: A delta is an area of land in which a river divides into smaller rivers and empties into a larger body of water. since the river flowing into the ocean is not river Niger but mixtures of river Benue and river Niger. so, it should be called Niger-Benue delta |

Many Nigerians don't know the meaning of Niger delta. Some see Niger delta as oil producing states only while others see it as south-south. What is delta? A delta is an area of low, flat land shaped like a triangle, where a river splits and spreads out into several branches before entering the sea. From the above definition, Niger delta can be said to be the delta of River Niger in Nigeria. It is located in the Atlantic Coast of southern Nigeria where River Niger divides into numerous tributaries It is the second largest delta in the world with a coastline spanning about 450 kilometres terminating at the Imo River entrance. Politically, the Niger Delta area cuts across nine states in southern Nigeria which include Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Imo, Ondo and River States. |

egift: Thanks. So what is this South South? From your map if we remove Abia, Imo and Ondo, it becomes South South. Isn't it? Why? |

Map of the Niger Delta Region oluwalfa: For the Geopolitical Zones, they were trying to make sure that an entire State should be completely in one without spiting it. The Niger Delta Region is determined by Geographical Factors, while Nigeria's Geopolitical Zones are grouped for Administrative Reasons. www.nairaland.com/attachments/204578_regional_map_state_jpg37505cc91bd93ea6ebb26638ef2136af Nigeria's Geo-Political Zones - NW, NE, NC, SW, SE and SS. |
Re: What Is South South? by oluwalfa: 1:09pm On Nov 16, 2014 |
When I look at this map,^^^ the SS/SE geopolitical zone makes no sense. Then I think of the hatred and fear of the Igboman, and it makes sense. |
Re: What Is South South? by oluwalfa: 1:12pm On Nov 16, 2014 |
The U-shaped nonsense called South South is the reason why Igbos must form a country of their own. |

abdulwastecx: Guy I hear yu. But remove oil money and see if the in de construction industry. like yu dont kno that most of the construction derives funds frm oil proceeds. |
Re: What Is South South? by abdulwastecx(m): 9:58pm On Nov 17, 2014 |
stebell: what nonsense are you talking about? how can oil proceed of 25 billions financed a construction sector of over 200 billions dollars or agricultural sector worth over 500billions dollars etc. oil is a major source of foreign exchange becuase our government are clueless and lacks initiative south Korea with only 55 million poeple, no oil but has a GDP of about 1.5 trillion dollars and with government earning of over 300billions us dollars. They succeeded by developing technical and good labour force that utilized all the materials available to build a solid and dynamic economy. ... keep winning about oil in backward Niger deltas |
