mensdept:
The truth is you go to the Eastern areas and ask them. Even the British through BBC have since shown the "niger-delta" as so polluted and impoverished that life is not even worth living. This is all thanks to Awolowo, Gowon, Danjuma, the black scorpion who was a crack addict later in his life, and the Kaduna Mafia.

barcanista:

I think we all should allow ethnic nationalities to speak for themselves. For the record, NOBODY delievered the ND from anybody. All of us (including Yorubas) are still fighting to end marginalisation and inequality. I think we should rather see that we negotiate the structure if we want to maintain unity or we call for referendum if we are tired of each other.

Isaac boro in 1966 wanted an Ijaw Republic. Isaac boro hated ibos
with passion because of d way he felt when he was in UNN during
his campaign for SUG president which he won mainly with d votes
from non ibos. Isaac boro felt the money generated in IJAW land
was used to develop the current south east state in the defunt
eastern region with enugu as capital.

Nigeria was a working federation then. Until a power hungry IBO
man in d name of Agunyi Ironsi made Nigeria a Unitary State.
D igbo man Agunyi Ironsi fought d IJAW nation in 12 days and
Jailed Isaac Boro for Treason.

It was a Northerner GOWON who gave ISAAC BORO freedom and
he join d Federal army to fight BIafra.
I am from Edo state. We rejected Biafra because when we allowed
them to pass through the Midwest as ally, they started behaving
as if they conqured us. That was when the benin empire started
killing Biafra soldiers.

If an army plant flag on your soil, it means one thing....we are your new rulers!

Biafra planted flag on ND soil and instructed them to start learning Ibo language.

Those who removed the flag are the heroes that rescued and saved ND, otherwise your lingua franca and national anthem today will be Biafran themed.

EasternLion:


See this one.

Did u know what was former East Nigeria territory?

Don't be daft and ignorant at the same time.

barcanista:
Thank you @OP for the mention.

First and foremost, some (majority) of Niger Deltans had the notion of Igbo dominance when the Biafran State was first declared in 1967 and all through the war period. Some of us(Niger Deltans) that never experienced the war unfortunately held to this sentiment and even defended it. At present, some of us have however realised that position was baseless and a product of propaganda. I have to state with the fear of God that the Igbos will not and cannot "dominate" any tribe within the SS and SE region. I am yet to see such plan.

Let us recall that during the struggle for the MidWest region from the Western region, some people outside the Midwest had proposed that Anioma (in president day Delta state) be ceded to the Eastern region while wthe rest of Midwest be one. The propaganda was that the Igbos will dominate the Binis and others in the New Midwest. Fortunately, the then Oba of Benin and other advocates of the Midwest region insisted that Anioma should be part of MidWest. In fact, when Midwest was created there was relative peace and brotherhood between the Igbos, the Ijaws, the Binis and other ethnic nationalities in the MidWest.

I will suggest that proponents of one Nigeria should be more concerned with solutions that will solve the issue of marginalisation and will entrench equity, instead of making comments that promotes division. We have to recognise the right of people to self-determination while we appeal to everyone to come to negotiating table. The Igbo nation is an ally and cousin to the ND- there are Igbos of ND stock.

cheruv:

Pls can you provide me links to the highlighted portion.. It looked like what I heard except that the AG proposed that
1]Anioma be ceded to eastern Nigeria
2]all the Edoids(Bini, Ishan, Afenma'i, Urhobo & Isoko) form a region
3]all of ijawland(both east & midwest) plus jekri land join the western region.

Moreover why did the Bini oba insist on having Anioma in the Midwest?

ive learnt one thing in life, "time vindicates". if you must know, the so-call "dominace" propaganda even started decades befor the unfortunate war. the midwest were able to disregard it when they were told during the struggle for their own region.

Imokay:


You relish in taking a one sided version of history to buttress whatever weak point you want to make. At no time was there a violent or sustained demonstration by Mid-westerners to create a region of their own. But the Federal Government led by Zik and Balewa of the NPC/NCNC alliance went out of their way to create the region after ignoring the violent demonstration and riot by the Tivs asking for their own region and the COR states agitation for their own region was similarly suppressed. The midwest was created not to balance the federation but to weaken the AG and Zik calculated that a weakened AG will be a direct benefit for NCNC and of course they 'won' the election to control 2 regions. But it was a short lived victory as the NPC they helped to hold power soon pulled the rug from NCNC feet.

Why were the minorities in the East and North not granted similar self government as the Mid West?

OPCNAIRALAND:
Biafra planted its flag on the soil of what is now known as Niger Delta and declared them its sovereingty.

Adekunle -Scorpion -, Akinrinade, swept through and chased Biafra out and uprooted the yeye flag.

Hello ladies and gents.

I opened my twitter all again, as usual, only to see Ogundamisi tweeting about Biafra and Nnamdi Kanu (yet). He carry the Radio Biafra and whatever Director says, as if na oyel money talk.

So like I was saying, I clicked to see details of the tweet and responses.

All I saw was twitter handles with Yoruba names cursing and abusing Biafrans and Radio Biafra operators, hians, then some of them were spitting anger with one Dayo (Aunty mi) saying that Biafra no concern
Niger Delta, OK OK (agreed), but let them decide for themselves.
Checking out her profile, all I saw was about Biafra this, Biafra that, oil, oil, Niger Delta and so on. Hian, OK I took snapshots.
Then over to the other tweet by Ogundamisi, I saw what got me thinking, another Yoruba saying.
By his words exactly.

"@CeeNaija: @BiafranPrince_ @ogundamisi even when sharing inheritance d woman wit mor children has d largest share. Na only igbo cultur own dey difrnt."



I decided to take some snapshots too incase.


So my question is, when did South West and North save Niger Delta from Igbos? Why did they if anytime.

I want the people from Niger Delta to come answer.


Note, by virtue of my state of origin, I am also from Niger Delta.

.hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.


Can't you see Yorubas are our saviour?.

Yes na,they saved us "Niger Delta"(including all the Igbos here),from "Igbos",by massacaring over 500 young men in Asaba.


Cant you see Yorubas & their overlords,saved us,by owning over 80% oil blocs in this region.


Can't you see yorubas saved us,thats why they are the hijacked the employment in of ExxonMobil here,perharps thats why serious consultation is ongoing,on how to kick them out of here.


They saved us from Una,thats why ExxonMobils headquarter is in Lagos.


Exactly,thats why every attempt to build Ibaka port,is being destroyed with propaganda of southwest media.


Can't you see we are happy afterward,thats why people like me,and other comrades,spent our youthful age in the creeks,fighting for our people.


Is alright.Hell will visit them till eternity,let them shout Amen for these goodwill of theirs.

Sealeddeal:
do Niger Delta look like a saved zone? If anything,it is a curse that the North and SW brought upon Niger delta.
