No, you are looking like the pained one, mr afonja.
A weaker partner will not host a union on his own soil.
If the SS and the SE get their various independence in a hypothetical scenario today, a smart gambler would put his money on the SE to be the more productive, settled and developed state in the long run.

YonkijiSappo:


Well, you might love "your south south" but "South South" are currently in Owerri meeting with SE in an economic forum.
Like I said earlier, SS no be region

gurnam:


No, the SE without the SS will be the most useless in the eventual case of a breakaway without the SS.
That is why the idea of a Biafra without the SS is a nightmare that you Ibos cannot fathom or imagine, it's just not an option palatable to you.

gurnam:


Absolute thrash.

gurnam:


This is the most important singular factor of the whole attachee thing with the SS by the SE

TippyTop:
The South-East has become the beacon of hope for the South South. Not too long ago we in the old Midwest were foolishly following the SW, never again, until the SW liberates itself from the north's hegemony.

chiedu7:


If na thrash why una dey fear?

No be today dem dey have meeting. If anyone thinks the meeting is for the interest of the populace, you probably not in this country.

chiedu7:


[s]Why the thing dey pain you?
You know that without us you are dead.
Without you we will thrive.

So we are looking to cut you loose[/s]

@gurnam.
If you believe that, then that is your own business.
I have no obligation or desire to change your point of view. I am not here to school haters.

Ekinematics:



That gambler will surely be recorded as the most stupid gambler ever recorded in history for reasoning the way you just did.

YonkijiSappo:


lol ode, when was South South created?
let's start from there.

At least you know 1963 was a date of something.
Do you think Yorubas are the ones losing from the creation of a "south south" zone or who?
How many former Western states comprise what is "South South" today?

vantage001:

Give me one reason right now why you would gamble the other way.
Tell me one thing that the SS does as well as the SE. Absolutely nothing.
The SE is more educated, more resourceful, has more specialized human resource and a more established entrepreneural base. The SE even in Nigeria currently has the lower poverty rate. And i am not even talking about the social order that a single ethnic provides that is absent in the disorganized, entropic south-south who would most likely erupt in a free for all ethnic struggle for who controls what.
The only thing the SS has more is oil and the atlantic. And those are not enough to build a prosperous nation in the african context.
A smart gambler knows where his bet lies.

As usual they'll resort to empty chest beating.
Very clitchè!

mrkayusfit:
Biafra must never come. I'm afraid the Biafra will be developed in few years if declared. They are technologically sound and we need their expertise to build Nigeria. We must all stand against biafra. We are Nigerians first before been our tribes. Lord luggard saw a potential in us before merging us together. The only way to kill biafra agitations is to keep Nnamdi kanu locked up. As for Soyinka, he is a disgrace to we yorubas. No sane yoruba man will be pro biafra. One nigeria till death do us apart

vantage001:
The somalian coastline is larger than anything Nigeria can offer. It is now a bee-hive of pirates.
Congo is the most naturally endowed nation in the world. It is currently governed by various militias with an abysmal poverty rate and huge crime levels.
Does anybody see the correlation between them and the South-south?

Abagworo:


Rivers State not South-south seized Igbo properties as a war booty.

Amarabae:

don't derail the thread out of envy and bitterness, South east and South south states want federalism,so that oil will not be drilled in yenegoa and the oil company headquaters will be in ur Lagos.

ovoP:
Guy this ur write up is trash. if it where to b like that watch how the south easterners will migrate the other way 4 jobs if their human resource can't compete. even entreprenuers knw their business will boom in the south-south

vantage001:

And yet there is no SS state that is known for any manufacturing output.
Atleast you have the likes of lagos, abia, anamabra and even kano producing something.
The type of migration you would probably get is the chinese styled migration.

raker300:
Tell the south south to return every abandoned Igbo property they seized after the war.

None of them should align with the igbos again..what I have seen on nairaland has opened my eyes...well, the governors we have in the east now are mean men that don't take nonsense..well, maybe excluding okorocha sha

naijaguy77:


Actually, specifically, Ken Saro-Wiwa seized igbo property in Port Harcourt.

Igbo people have no problem in the South-South, they intermarry, they live and settle everywhere from Calabar to Warri, without problems.

If you even look at how Nigerians make friends (inside and outside Nigeria), you will notice that Igbos and South-South tend to bond and make friends easily without any issues. Look at universities, Nigerians abroad, even in offices, notice the friendship pattern.
