These groups speak for themselves, and it is hard to take them seriously considering they were silent during the 5 years of misrule of Jonathan that did nothing for the region they claim to love. Nothing deep or meaningful in this gathering, just a continuation of "our brother our oyel" politics. Eventhough that "brother" only enriched himself, did nothing for you people, and planted dischord among you. Silly people. If they are so serious let them push for a referendum, it is not any yahoo group that can come out and claim to speak the mind of a whole region, that is not the way the world works.

Your vituperation of a people asking for self determination are uncalled for and out of place. You are an oil well benefactor in waiting, that is apparent. We know why Jonathan failed if indeed he failed. What the Lower Niger ppl are asking now started in the fifties. Boro, Ojukwu, Saro wiwa and others sang the same song and now Uwazurike and bAsari Dokubo are saying the same thing. After them others will continue. I dont see how 10,000 flies can be wrong. They can get it if they are ready to pay the price though opposing local and foreign influences are strong.

My dear you need educating. Go away, define the meaning of a nation, then come back and re-post. unfortunately most Nigerians are in your shoes. 100yrs and counting you have no idea of what a nation is , that nigeria is no where remotely close to a nation. Pathetic!!






don't need another insurgency in the South.

Besides, do we really think the American prediction of our disintegration ended with the election? Since we don jump them pass, they must stir trouble from another angle. We must be vigilant and look out for our nation. Our progress is not for their good. They will stop us at all cost from progressing. We need to jaw jaw now and not allow anyone sow hate among us.

My advice to GMB, APC and followers, please tread carefully. Our land isn't green anymore. We need love and not hate. I hope we can find it in our hearts to forgive and forget. Our SS and SE people, should please state their grievances and reach a compromise with everyone else. I do understand their feelings but we must not forget that the entire nation also supported Jona in 2011. They must put everything into perspective and not allow thieves and vagabonds to destroy them from within.

In all of this, Lord let your will be done.

FOLKS IN ANAMBRA WILL GIVE YOU 101 REASON PER MINUTE TO HATE IMO STATE PEOPLE.... in abroad, politics in igbo association is like civil war. there is always fight and betrayals and set-up within themselves.

SS STARTING FROM OLD BENDEL DOWN TO AKWA IBOM CAN SUCCEED TO BE A COUNTRY IF THEY WANT BUT DEFINITELY NOT IGBOS (the saboteurs tribal masters).
The only stupid man in Niger delta that will support Biafra is Asari Dokubo...... even pej can never do that mistake. Jonathan family only needed igbos vote not their alliance.

This part i so wish is possible. A referendum will result in an outcome of 98% for secession and 2% to remain. We demand to charter our own cause. As educated as we are it's annoying when Almajiris decide who presides over us just because dem many pass us.

Mugu. Igbos are never your problem/enemy in Nigeria.

Your major enemy is the 1999 constitution that legitimized a skewed political structure of 36 states - with 19 in the old one region north but 17 in the old three regions south - in a unitary government system. With this structure you, if from south, have little representation in the NASS.

The set-up makes any body from the south of Nigeria remain an onlooker like Lucozade in the affairs of Nigeria, including who leads the country.

Anybody from the south to lead the country must be "appointed" by a born to rule group in the north.

We can never get a messianic leader to lead Nigeria out from problems, and to prosperity with this political structure and increasingly worse form unitary govt system.
See story. Cos you igbos didn't calculate well and went to form a losing alliance with Jonathan in the last election. When people were busy forming Pan-Nigerian alliances from the North to the west and cutting across tribe and religion, you were busy dwelling on ethnic, religious and tribal sentiments cos Jonathan was giving you small egunje. Now that slowpoke has lost and your calculations have backfired, you want to leave Nigeria? Pathetic losers! Sorry for una grin

Nw we'll (SS& SE) hv to struggle togeda as a united front.

I totally agree with you. Indeed GEJ's defeat has brought home some more depths of our political awareness and future. I'm happy he lost.

It's the first time the SS/SE are sharing a common aspiration. True federalism is the way. A referendum will be more appropriate if they refused to restructure it.

For me is just better they divide this country, period. Nigeria is to big to be called a nation. Yorubas should support us so that we will leave their land as they have wished. The southerners have been contributing very well to the economy of this country. Hausas and yorubas are somuch afraid to lose us, if not so why have they not supported us to leave this country called Nigeria? By his grace, one day this country will be divided, Amen.
I don't used to respond to divide and rule comments but when the educated join the bandwagon I just laugh. Please note that nothing will divide this country anymore. Former Abia state governor Orji Kalu said in 2003 while addressing his kinsmen said they should listen to any divide and rule slogan because it is when their so call leaders fail to benefits from the government of the day, they brought marginalization card. So true! Where are these group when we all voted for GEJ. Dear Sister if GMB mess up within four years and Okorocha defects to APGA with good campaign strategy we will vote for him.

South Sudan fought their Northern party for years thinking that the Northern part was their problem but in recent time after independence, the South Sudan people have killed themselves more than what Northern part had killed.

Once again, I bless God for GEJ's defeat at tthe last elections. For in his defeat, there's a huge victory for the SS/SE; in his loss, a huge gain.

It's a question of time till this nation be restructured or disintegrated; the Lord Lugard's experiment had a beginning, and it must have an end.

It may appear like as though all these self determination talks are brewing up now that GEJ lost. No. It's being a latent desire of every SS/SE politically mature person to see this nation restructured for justice, equity and fairness. We have come of age to understand our position in the grand scheme of things; it doesn't appear bright at all.

Our people were silent in the days of GEJ to ascertain the level and depth of oneness in the nation. Obviously the oneness is both fraudulent and shallow. And GEJ himself didn't helpIin the equation!

My deepest fear is way beyond the outcome of the 2015 elections. My fear is about the political future of our people, and future generations. The current system is skewed in their disfavour forever. Till the system is restructured, much won't change.

I'm a man of peace, but if there shall be war, let it be in my time, that my children shall live in peace- Tom Paine.
With this statement I see an exact replica of my stance. May God guide us through. Its not all about me and the present but for our people and the future.

You are mad organisation of lower niger as you calls yourself. You people believe in cheating other parts of nigeria using jonathan a corrupt man. You should have called for this nonsense you are asking for and press home on it in the very first tenure of jonathan. Jonathan is a fool. As a minority man who knew very well that if power slips off his hand the minority will never get it again he should have started the process of self-determination using the confab members from the entire southern region. Why are you people crying wolf now that jonathan is defeated with rubbish statement. If jonathan had won the election this issue wouldn't have come up and that makes all of you stupid people. You have lost the golden opportunity given to you by God using jonathan but jonathan's cluelessness and corruption habit and drunkenness have cost him his job which Buhari is coming to correct next month.
All the looted money by PDP and jonathan will be recovered by Buhari. I suspect that these group are among the people that stole nigeria's wealth which Buhari will soon confront.

And for your information BIAFRA must be achieve by the owners whether you like it or not. ..

Young man just shut up cos I don't know what the hell you're yapping about. First of all if you've EVER bothered to read my previous posts (this thread inclusive) then you would've known that I am from the SS and NOT yoruba as clowns like you from the SE will want to suggest.

Anyway I still ask: why is it that you Biafran clowns enjoy dragging the SS into your Biafran wet dream? 'last I checked the SS is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT GEOPOLITICAL REGION from the SE (there's absolutely NOTHING like the SS/SE). So why can't you Biafran "believers" place your damn focus on your beloved SE and leave us SSners to decide OUR OWN DESTINY. I've never heard of the SW claim the NC, or the NE with the NE despite their language and cultural similarities. So why is it so difficult for the SE to stand on its own without dragging us into your mess? Apparently, you've not learnt ANYTHING from the civil war.

So here's a friendly advice: if you want to agitate for your geopolitical region's self determination, that's all good, BUT LEAVE THE SS ALONE. We are equally able to decide OUR OWN destiny without your interference. Thank you.

I believe the division is long overdue. The bone of contention is the 'oil.' In Nigeria, the population of the Northerners are really oppressing every other region and that is so not cool.
do you think that the north has that population they always quote?
I think now that oil price has fallen so low, the north should allow the south to go.

This battle for self actualization started years even before Ojukwu called his people home.

This Nigeria is a fraud. My own view is not based on what happend during this past election but in what happens in our civil service, police & the military & paramilitary also.

Also because of the injustice in our school system. The north has sat under the guise of under previlige in education and continues the promote mediocrity & half baked minds. These half baked individuals are the people that run our ministeries & parastatals.

What Ojukwu saw over 40years ago is now hunting all of us. M watching to see how it goes.

Re: South-east, South-south Groups Demand Self-determination by zendy: 7:41am On Apr 28, 2015
The "American Declaration of Independence" was written almost 250 years ago. This was long before Lord Lugard was born,long before there was anything like Nigeria and long before the White man came to west Africa to create Nigeria. This paper is one of the most important document in human history because it is on it that the greatest nation on earth,America, was created. I urge everyone to google (I will leave a link at the bottom of this post, please note that you do not have to read the middle part where the crimes of the British king were listed) this document because it encapsulates what a nation should be and what it shouldnt. I am particularly impressed by this section that goes


We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness


Self determination,self rule,autonomy and right of choice of all people must respected. A nation is not achieved by forcing people into it and then continue to force them to stay in it. If people have to do this to have a country, they have no country. If the people of the SE or any other part do not want to be part of the "Lord Lugard created Nigeria", everyone should respect their wish and give then a 'opt in or opt out referendum". Nigeria is not a nation or country if we choose to 'imprison' any of the constituent people who make it up especially when the same Nigeria is what they were forced into against their wish. I hail the SE/SS people for agitating for their God given right to freedom. I hope that eventually, all parties will see the futility in continuing with this failed endeavour called Nigeria and we can all go our different ways without bloodshed. I remain ever a proud Igbo man and a proud Biafran.
