How many cardinal points do we have

First, no, I did not do Geography, but far from it that I do not know Geography, hence I do not understand the term 'South-South ....if you couldn't give me a simple reply, then you're the d.umb phuck here

I asked a simple question that required a straightforward answer that you're OBVIOUSLY bereft of any knowledge to reply, so kindly clear road so that one who has the intellectual capacity to give me a civilised reply will do so.

Whenever I read ceertain articles or watch adverts, movies or even doccies, I've noticed that S/South is called the east.

Even in government or commerce you find that Port Harcourt especially is referred to as the Eastern Region so certain companies with branches in PH call it the regional HQ for the East. I was watching an advert on Nigerian tourism and it was said that "Tinapa is located in the state of Cross River, Eastern Nigeria"

I just want to know why S/South and more specifically the States of Rivers, Cross river and Akwa-Ibom are called East in formal parlance and then South South/Niher Delta when revenue sharing is brought up


In a world where average intelligence matters, there is no such thing as South-south. In addition, there is no south-south in cardinal point or ordinal point formation of the world. The term, south-south, only exists in the damnable world of ninnies.

If you take a look at this map you will notice the area I marked
with red line covering Akwa Ibom and Cross River States. That
area is geographicaly Southeast. Igboland could either be East
central or South central as against wrongly termed Southeast.
Niger Delta consists mainly Rivers,Bayelsa and Delta States with
small fractions of Imo and Abia States. South-South is a wrong
coinage for Southern minorities or more precisely parts of the
South outside Igbo and Yoruba area.
So in essence none of the terms used represents reality.
this map further shows the expediency needed in the creation of Gurara state for the North, Ibadan state for the West and Anioma state for the South. the SE has no need for an extra state smiley

They have already answered the op's questions.

There is no cardinal point called SS, NN, WW or EE in Geography hence no location should be address as such.

With regards to Akwaibom and Cross River States being referred to Eastern Nigeria (which is not a State but a location on the map) both were called South-Eastern State while South East States of today were known as East-Central State

look here everyboday.

Education.

In time past we only have the one nigeria. Then the white called it northern nigeria and southern nigeria.... that is two.

And been that there were three major ethic group in nigeria. the hausa, yoruba and ibo. So it was then breakdown into this three region.

Namely Northern nigeria, Western nigeria And eastern nigeria. This are regional government. although both western nigeria and eastern nigeria is still regarded as southern nigeria even when it was break.

so during this period nigeria practice regional government. And each region has it state police and financial control then it pay 60% tax to the center government called nigeria.

The so called south south today is all part of eastern nigeria.

During the time of oil boom, the military seized regional power and made a decree to control all resources and share allocation to region instead of collecting from region, since they learnt that some region will be rich and very powerful and some will be poor.

and which means nigeria will breakup this way so they seize all power and start breaking regions to state to divided people from coming together or planning togather.

IBB increase state from 8 to 18 then further more to 36.

During the oil boom it was billions of dollars that override all other sector with 90%. Then all attention was directed to oil.

The oil boom and too much money leeds to corruption and this destroy nigeria. They abandon all other resources or sector and focus more on stealing the oil proceed from the eastern nigeria.

They then remove regional school and police and then make it federal state and federal schools.

During the time of IBB. IBB was scared of the eastern nigeria since the money is coming from a minority group in the east..

IBB quickly break this region into 2 in tin line where the oil is and removing the Ibo tribe from it.. now called south- east. Since it cannot be could eastern nigeria anymore.

So The other part there is no other better name to call it other then south - south. Since southern nigeria already means but western and eastern nigeria as earlier explain.

Then they break the north from middle and east for selfish reasons. So that why we have north central known as middle belt. North east. Then the north.

That why we do not have north - north.

So the formal western nigeria is then called south west.

I hope this help.

Those who say that are still living in the past. We have gone past that stage in life. As it is today, I see myself first as a Nigerian. Second, a Rivers and south-south man. South East is a word used during, before Naija civil war and during independence too. As it is today, am a south-south man. Am a Rivers man. Am a Nigerian. South- East are the Igbos.

What about the Igbo in rivers cross river and delta so because they are now in Niger delta they are not Igbo again

You see why I gave up on Nigerian education

If you real study thr map of Nigeria Cross river is the east from cos the sun starts rises from Cross river before coming to Ebonyi, Abia ,imo, etc etc. Do your research. Therefore it often baffles me how a person as far as Benin with someone in cross river will be in the so called south south knowing fully well that you can not get to cross river without crossing river niger.

You are ignorant. The OP never claimed South-south is Southeast but rather said East which is geographically right. Some parts of SS are in the Eastern part of Nigeria while others are in the West. The reason for absence of true nomeclature is the position of Igboland right at the middle which makes it neither Southeast nor Southwest but Southcentral right at the middle of the area termed South-south.
