I don't think Nyone has ever added Edo State to Biafra sub-consciously......most people don't even remember they're in SS.

The major SS states considered are Akwa-Ibom, Cross River and Rivers....even Delta is an after-thought that only surfaced recently. If you're not from any of the 3 states mentioned, hold your own. You're not that important.

I have friends and relatives from those 3 states and trust me when I say they are more pro-Biafran than some Igbos

Better remove EDO and DELTA

Cus am from these two states

good one from you thanks for the enlightenment, bt will still have to do a research abt that on my own.... Back to business, you wanna tell me its everybody who decide to leave nigeria will make it over there in ur so caolled biafra? Ask Ghanians to lecture you how they suffered many of them never bounced back... Ask sudau too

Uncle, thank you for your 'advice'. It was well appreciated. But uncle, instead of 'doomsday' prophesizing, shouldn't you be thinking of ways your country will survive after lower niger pulls out? That is how intelligent people reason. They always have a plan B.

You advice A. Briggs do advocacy all her life while you form alliance to exploit her backyard in guise of One Nigeria?


Perhaps you don't know, with or without crude oil and gas deposits, if in the last 40 years Oduduwa had been a country, the whole of Southwest of Nigeria blessed with all mineral and human resources would have been far more advanced than what it is today - forget the glitter of Lagos; the rest of SW has remained thatch and mud houses and under-developed, much even remain like in the Danfodian era.

So use intelligence, stop attacking LNF, A. Briggs, and any thing that can enhance Oduduwa Republic.

But then, if Yoruba so love Arewa that thay cannot stay alone in one country without Arewa, what stops Oduduwa from forming a country with Arewa and leave the LNF alone?
The real question is where were all these folks the last 5 years. I hate to invoke tribes into my comments, but it seems Yorubas are the only tribe that votes based on merits and promise rather than the 'our son' mentality. It is a fact that Yorubas were Obasanjos' biggest critics and we were the one to call for Jonathan when Yaardua was I'll. Stop crying and for once let facts and prudence dictate our thoughts and action.
The A PC alliance is not a tribal alliance. And I already forsee a igbo president as the next president after Buhari. So calm down my ppl it's okay.I f you want to know the next president just holler at me.

Well, Delta Igbo or Anioma is coming along this time around, alongside the Ijaw-speaking part of Delta. Our brothers shall not be left behind. Isokos, Urhobos can continue to remain irrelevant minorities in your Nigeria, with little or no control over your own natural resources.

Although I'm not in support of Nigeria disintegrating but what's your biz if the SS & SE wanna break away? Are they truly the zone feeding you? Why do you choose to hold them against their wish.?

Just as d infidel Buhari and co frustrated Gej administration wit boko haram we are going to make d government ungovernable for him wit his so called no nonsense, we will push for war which he will nt tolerate and lead to d eventual disintegration of dis ZOO. Hapi d SS hv nw realised d reason Ojukwu was fighting. And realised d secret behind d creation of 12 states by Gowon in 1967 to further divide SE. SS which would hv formed a formidable force, three days after OJUKWU declared sovereign state of BIAFRA. Coward yorubas that doesn't stands no where.

according to the map of Biafra, the shoeless one actually IS a Biafran.....he's just a clueless, foolish one that should totally be denied citizenship.

Stop deceiving yourself biafra girl. Which biafra do you belong to?? 1970 biafra or 2015 biafra grin

1970 biafra died at the defeat it received in the hands of NA.

I have read thru several comments,but this one is totally off mark. That old map of biafra is no longer feasible. I am from SS and reside there. A plebiscite would reveal the true state of things to you. If there is anything like Lower Niger, that can be imagined,but stop using biafra for all ethnic groups in SS

WELL , CALL FOR REFERENDUM IN THE LOWER NIGER, OR CALL FOR TOTAL SECESSION FOR FLN, ANY GROUP INVOLVED IN THESE CALLS MUST EXECUTE ANY OF THESE EVENTS BEFORE MAY 29, 2015.


BEYOND MAY 29, 2015, NO BODY FROM LN CAN BELIEVE THE ORGANIZERS,

BECAUSE BY THEN, THE NEW GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE STARTED SETTLING THE PRIVATE POCKETS OF THE ORGANISERS

I know where Delta stands with Biafra. Itsekiri is a minority in Delta state compared to those Igbos, na lie?

Delta is not certain what it wants that's why I left them out to begin with....they're a confused bunch with internal issues anyway. Too busy quarreling about who's a minority and who isn't to bother about where they stand in the Nigeria/Biafra brouhaha

SS and SE in the same country... so that the chest beating Ibo's can dominate them. This must be a joke grin
The new country would just be like the present oil rich south Sudan(one of the poorest countries in the world)...the ijaw vice president and his rebel soldiers fighting the ibo president and his military...

the actual Biafra hhas just 3 SS states...and yeah, Bayelsa isn't one of them. I was thinking of GEJ based on ethnicity and not region.

Even then, Ijaw isn't part of Biafra....another confused lot. Any SS State that isn't joining Biafra doesn't want to be under Nigeria...they want their own country....but there will sooner be a Biafra than a Niger Delta nation and failure to form a coalition with a stronger backing will lead to what occurred when APC and CPC merged and APGA was busy forming bad guys

Edo is not in any equation as far as Biafra goes, and who are the 'we' you speak of? Two minrotiy tribes in Delta? Which 'guys' sef? Where do you think I'm from? And do you assume I was alive during the war? Were you alive?

Bros, Delta state does not want to remain with Nigeria. I can say that with AUTHORITY, just like I can say that they don't want to be with Biafra totally. Delta would most likely SPLIT up....with the Anioma people going with Biafra and then the minorities trying to form a sovereign state outside of both nations.

I do not know what will become of Edo, and I sincerely care not. As far as I'm concerned, those guys are more South West than South South
