Since you cannot argue you try to whip up sentiments. What concerns Biafra with the issue? You people think everybody is like you who dwells on 1967. Wake up 1967 is gone. Don't look at the Igbo through the lens of the war of 1967. You're mistaking.
Nothing has actually changed. The south east still looks like one huge IDP camp

It's common sense: it's easiest for the minority groups in the old eastern region to get whatever they want, including independence, from a Biafra country;
but most difficult, if not impossible, for the minority groups in the old eastern region to get anything from very huge and mixed Nigeria.

Those Southsouth leaders who journeyed to Kaduna to Hassan Katsina in 1967 to plead that Rivers and Cross River States be carved out from Biafra, they couldn't see beyond the nose.

I must say that some Igbos are very unbearable.

Ojukwu wanted a Biafra for the Igbo people and wanted Saro-Wiwa to join him, Saro-Wiwa knew the Ogonis and Igbo have nothing in common, not culturally or linguistically. Any decision he was to take had to be strategic. He opted for Nigeria and abandoned Biafra and that has become his crime in the eyes of Igbos. It is a crime not to join Igbos in Biafra...What a people!!!

So people like you still exist in the south south? If people like you are in majority in the south south,
you and your offspring shall be in the trenches forever fighting domination by Hausa/Fulani with their Yoruba collaborators

COMMON SENSE REQUIRED,: You don't like the Igbo. But you must ally with the Igbo to get Biafra first, after which it is most easy for you to get back your environment, get your oil and oil blocks back, get Nigerdelta Republic, or even Ijaw, Ogoni, Efik or above all, Ikwerre Republic from Biafra. This is COMMON SENSE.

But the above are not realistic when you form all sorts of liberation strike forces in the Niger delta to fight Nigeria as you shun Igbo and Biafra.

As long as RIVERS and Bayelsa is Concerned them Don Phite their freedom finish..

I supported Niger Delta struggle till tomorrow.

Now they float another group NDA as if it's Ui in the the year 1962.

Jonathan was a Marine scientist but he never implemented any Pet project to curb Environmental issues.

Because he now became a politician and paid money to people that eventually used the money judiciously to oust him in 2015.

wetin Una want take gain my sympathy. Agricultural produce no dey grow but Weed dey sell.

Just incase am a Niger Deltan but I had to go a bit north to leave my greener pastures in rocky side of Life. I Hate politicians and African politics.

It hurts me after paying school fees avoiding Vices, na only gra-gra people they ride 2016 vehicles.

South is no longer safe. Let's love ourselves and our Neighbours that is what Exactly Lagos did today check out now! You go #loveLagos

90% of what YOU own came through Lagos.

our own Rivers is use for alpha patrols abi?

IF SW SS SE come together I SWEAR African ISRAELI Is formed America go cut hand when When we cough.

we dnt need Cultism.


Around most of the Southwest have taken to Arab religion, thus most of the Southwest now share same political aspirations with northern Nigeria.

So your dream of SW, SE and SS coming together for any political pursuit is a pipe dream.

During the OBJ National Political Conference, the Southwest region representatives allied with the northern region representatives to deny increase in derivation asked for by oil producing areas and supported by the southeast. The Conference ended because of this division as the South south delegates walked out of the conference followed by southeast representatives.


Take away any idea of Southwest region forming alliance with the SE and SS.

In fact, Southwest region is the most militant against the various aspirations of the old eastern region.

Tanko Yakassi threw the bombshell recently.
He said when Biafra was declared, some leaders of the minority groups in the old eastern region journeyed to Kaduna and pleaded with then northern region governor, Hassan Katsina, to influence Gowon to carve out the minority groups from Biafra.

Shortly after that, Rivers and Cross River States were created by Gowon.

Today, it's like those Southsouth leaders shot themselves and their unborn generations in the spinal cord.

Biafra defeated by their sabotage, the Hassan Katsinas of northern Nigeria occupied billions of dollars worth oil blocks in the south and grudgingly agreed to give them 13% from derivation.

Adieu Ken Saro.

This Is why I will never EVER mince words with the ND people. Granted the government has failed the southern minorities,one thing is still certain : Any problem the ND is facing today,they contributed to it as much as 90% and they will continue to suffer the most for it.

Today again, the Asari Dokubors who have fought Nigeria and got tired now tell the Southsouth people the reality about Biafra. But some inexperienced ones carry guns about in the creeks thinking and talking about Niger delta Republic. But common sense suggests that you can't get Nigerdelta Republic in isolation of Biafra.
Common sense tells that it is easiest to get Nigerdelta Republic from Biafra after Southsouth people have teamed up with southeast people to get Biafra.

Leave them. They don't think. As for me I will never pander to this people. The problem with ND back then was education so they engage in blind hate and shot themselves in the foot. Unfortunately!!!! Till today they are still largely uneducated and can't tell what's good for them. They carry themselves like they're still in the 60's. It's quite alarming to have been deceived in 1967 and the same trick still works on you nearly 50 years later in 2016. Hopeless Helpless people.

Guy u are just pained that Saro Wiwa did not support r Biafra struggle and ideology. He believed in the people of Niger delta and fought for his people. Although he was executed, he is far better than Ojukwu who allowed 2 million of his people to be killed, and still ran away. One thing u should keep at the back of ur mind is that the Biafra and Niger delta struggle are completely different, they don't share one ideology with u. They are realistic. They know the struggle that is more realistic and they also know the one that is not realistic and filled with delusions. That is why they will never share ur Biafra ideology.
Yet where is the realistic of their struggle? You people don't know how many people NA killed in ogoni war. What the udi and the militants war ..and the oil spills... is that what you called realistic struggle?
The always say, "the end justify the means". As things stand, the entire south is conquered including the afonjas.. If you like believe, you don't like, don't believe. .. the end of all ND struggle is as fruitless as that of the entire south

That is so not true. The only place that have oil are Imo, Anambra and Rivers state. U wanna tell me Ebonyi has oil or Enugu? Abegi.


I didn't say u were. I only asked what makes u BETTER than them.

And again, Igbos are subdivided into minor tribes.

Definately, because no one wants to be ruled over. Talkless of if una join the SS to biafra. I swear una go join Matters Arising on TVC.

You talk like Sophisticated Yoruba. That's how they argue to divide southsouth from southeast.
It's most naive your assertion that southeast is looking to include Southsouth in Biafra because of crude oil. That's fallacious and most ridiculous. The richest countries on earth today do not have crude oil.

Or are you Itshekiri/Yoruba?

Take this proverb if you are truly from the southsouth:

You cannot break the sticks of a broom when they are a bunch of broom; but it is easiest for the broomsticks to be broken one after the other when the broomsticks are not in a bunch.

Let me explain the proverb: southsouth and southeast struggling for different objectives on different platforms, both regions shall be easily neutralized by rest of Nigeria.

U can say I have a yoruba blood in me.

I'm not dividing anybody. I'm just saying that if the ND decides not to join Biafra, there is no need to force them or make them feel in between. I know that as a fact but let's leave other countries and come to nigeria. If biafra finally becomes a country, what major resource apart from oil do they have?


I'm Delta Igbo.


I've known that proverb from my primary school days.


The bottom line is that what the SE wants is biased. If they were truly serious about wanting biafra, it would have happened. I for one know Igbos are quite determined. But since there is no true, strong movement or resistance for biafra, all na SCAM.

The I Before Others *IBOs* says Ken hated them why not, was it not the IBO's that scuttled the struggle of the Niger Deltans for regional self determination . When the Midwest was created in 1963 from the old Western region was it not the collaboration of the NPC/NCNC ( Hausa/IBO) collusion government that prevented the creation of the Calabar_ Ogoja_ River state now today's Niger Delta; in the same vain, the agitation for the creation of the Middle Belt region ( Benue_ Plateau) was scuttled by the Hausa/Ibo collusion despite the Awolowo's re commendation for the creation of those extra 3 regions : see Awo's #Thought to Nigerian constitution 1945.#
See what were the end of Joseph Tarka, Ken Sarowiwa ,the Briggs_Wenike and Lulu; they were all made to face the music just because the Hausas wanted to control the entire North and the Ibos the Midwest, the Eastern and the Niger delta region. To day: Every body can now see where the Cooky crumbles.
