I think this op is no more in touch with reality, the whole world is watching you people, when GEJ was in power nobody called for succession, during campaigning nobody calls for succession, when GEJ was rejected in a fair match you turn to GMB calling him all sort of names, you criticize his policy that were never implemented, when all that fail, you turn to activist that can't take a single bullet for his GF, I challenge all of you people calling for succession to go ahead and do it, bluffing or blackmailing will not work cuz the whole world knew that kind of hypocrites you are, calling for succession after loosing an election, if you truly want to live the union why do you partake in the just concluded election? Bad looser hiding under alias, the day you people started thinking through your head is the day you will realize having oil is not the answer to your problem, being rich doesn't translate to being happy, I am in support of dissolution of the so called union, no country in the world today is rich cuz of oil! I repeat no country is rich cuz of oil. Russia, Britain, Indonesia, China, Japan, are not among the world producers of oil but they are the movers and shakers of the world economy, Japan was build based on technology. Lazy leader begets lazy followers.

You sent a request? Guy chill na.. You didn't even ask me when last infused Facebook... Had to login now to accept ur request.

I don't understand the bolded..

noblezone:


Barcanista, I am hardly emotional, these two lines of yours has drawn some emotions here.
Ironsi was so Nigerian, he thought Nigeria was "ONE". Then, he entrusted his life in the hands of those who hated him with passion.
They took his life!

Jonathan worked for Northern Nigeria in a way no leader in Nigeria has ever worked.
He believed in "ONE" Nigeria.

It is time our people understand Nigeria for she cruelly is.

barcanista:
We? Who and who are the we? Why not mention your ethnic group?

Gabriel300:
Tnks for pointing that out, but sentiments aside, do you honestly believe this 'dream' will be actualised?

Whynotthetruth:


Did I tell you that I am on Facebook.....see me see wahala oooo

ideykwum:
Yes, we can't deny it!!! But it hurts...it hurts badly!! People laughed at Orubebe, but I understand his rage in a way only an Ijaw man would! It wasn't about Jonathan, it was about the putrid rape of our sensitivities via a systematic rigging based on tribal sentiments and outright hate!! As proud people, who expected some level playing ground, and provided it, it was a rape of innocence! We now know our enemies clearly!!

barcanista:
Which Obj? Obj that wanted to reduce the earning of the SS through his fraudulent Onshore/offshore dichotomy? By the way who ever asked for 13% derivative? It was Abdulsallam and not Obj that introduced the 13% and not obj. Read your history!

By the way: who care about 13%? We are talking 50% and you are talking 13%. I should take 13% of MY resources while you and your friends enjoy 87% abi? Well done.

Thank God for that o, southern nigeria is better than being a biafran, south south will be an independent nation on her own.

we nor want biafra

francizy:


Bia IFE nke na ANYI, taki kwa time oh! I see as you turn that place to political Encyclopedia..

Hehehehehe, na matter of time you go emerge as Candidate and subsequently you go become Anambra state Governor..

Genius100:


Guy, are you a dullard? Under whose administration was the 13% approved? Yes, it was OBJ. The bigger achievement lays in the approval not the introduction. Second, what did GEJ do for Niger Delta that compares to what OBJ did for them? Third, why didn't GEJ give the ND 50%?

Macelliot:

Your Opinion!
There are Igbo speaking people in south-south.....
Not all south-south was included in Biafra...
Can you pls specify where you come from?

superstar1:
Having read this, 2 questions came up. They are:

1. Why was there no agitation for Biafra or Upper Zambezi, whatever you like you can call it, under GEJ?

2. What stage of process are you now on the self determination process ladder?

Let us highlight the processes of self determination and let us all see the level to which your advocacy has gotten to on the process ladder. It shall be clear to all whether you are really walking the talk or just mouthing.

I felt the pains of Godsday Orubebe though I wish that he controlled his emotion. Honestly, I saw the pains in the heart of the Efik man, the Ibibio man, the Oron man, the Igbo man, Ijawman, Ikwerre man up to Urhobo man. But I am glad it provided an avanue for our people to wake up and know what is at stake though some refused to learn.

Mumu Yoruba Boy....
Where do you come from?
You are rejected. We don't need you.

Barcanista Bro, our grand fathers didn't reject Biafra due to ignorance or because of their love for Nigeria,
The rejected it because the didn't want us to be minorities again in a new country
Niger delta Republic not Biafra is the answer to our problems

am neither yoruba, hausa nor igbo, but this stupid seun need to keep you cowards in check by deleting biafra threads until there is real life protest. Am tired of you internet biafran loyalist shouting like loose dogs about independence meanwhile majority of you guys is either in the west, south, north, south africa or indonesia jail awaiting drug trial.

PRE-1999
So many things have been said and written of the traditional Niger Delta region. From the Environmental pollution in Ogoniland, the political and economic marginalisation, the total neglect of the people, the demonisation of those in struggle up to the indigenous stooges of the oppressors that parade themselves as leaders of the region. What has the Niger Delta gained from the Nigeria State? What lies in wait for the future?

Biriye, Boro and Saro Wiwa Positions
Prior to the first republic Niger Delta and Ijaw Leader Alabo Dappa Biriye formed a political party for the Eastern Minorities- The Niger Delta Council (NDC). Despite the fact that the NDC won a seat to the House of Representative through Melford Okilo, and also formed alliance with the Northern People's Congress(NPC) that formed the government, the demand of the region wasn't considered nor met. Dappa Biriye was pan-Nigerian, he was very close to Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa, Yakubu Gowon, Muritala Muhammed and even Segun Obasanjo. Yet, his "friends" never gave him his demand for 50% derivation/Resource Control. At best, he got political appointment.

Sir Isaac Adaka Boro declared the Independent Niger Delta Republic in 1966 citing the marginalisation that the region suffered. He was misunderstood even by the locals and the republic only lasted for 12days before it was crushed. Boro would later joined the fight against the State of Biafra in order to preserve a United Nigeria in 1967. He was the Chief Proponent of Resource Control. This the Nigeria state never gave in despite the support of the region.

Late Ogoni and Niger Delta leader Ken Saro Wiwa was a strong supporter of a united Nigeria against the Ojukwu led Biafran State in 1967. He was to be killed by the same Nigeria State that he fought for all because he demanded for end to the marginalisation and a clean environment for Ogoni people and the Niger Delta region.

The Abdulsalam Abubakar Oppression
In 1998 Ijaw Youths made a declaration in Kaiama Bayelsa state calling for the end of oppression and outlined the Ijaw demands within the Nigeria state. Rather than heed to the demand, the administration of Abdulsalam Abubakar sent 1,500 Soldiers and two war ships to the region. More than 3 Youths were attacked, brutalised and killed even without provocation in Bayelsa state

People has called me names here,because of same stand.i av' been tagged Igbo by many idiots,who doesnt know how weeks i spent in the creeks,to fight for the emancipation of Niger Delta.I went as far as swearing with my life and that of my father,to prove to one us.eless Ikwerreboy here yesterday,that am not Igbo,but a proud son of Niger Delta,and ibibio by ethnicity.by difference with him is that,i av' seen what he hasnt yet seen,and he is still living in pre/post war propoganda era,
Truth is that,our future is in danger,if we dont act now.
Absolute resource control/true federalism.Anything short of that,is outright division.
But hear the hardest truth;the last thing that the Hausa/fulani oligarchy,and their oil savvy/political surrogates/slaves in southwest will do,is to support it.
Nigeria=Niger Delta Oil.and Niger Delta Oil=Nigeria.Take our oil away,Nigeria collapses.
Our unity is 'oiled' by our oil and political inequality.
Our only option,is referrendum.
A negotiated Biafra/Lower Niger Region,where all groups are federating units,with less power at the centre,and absolute resource control,will be the best thing to happen to us.
