Why Are The Ibos Hell Bent On Claiming The Niger Delta Even Tho It Aint Theirs by bkbaybe99: 12:47am On Jan 14, 2010
Ok, another interesting discovery I made recently about the entity called Nigeria; The Niger Delta Region DOES NOT belong to the ibos. I have always  been under the misconception that it belonged to them, thus, their constant complaints of being wronged, marginalized, and cheated. I also, wrongly, assumed that the militants in The Niger-Delta was made up of  the Ibos. This begs the question, if the Region does not belong to the ibos, why are they hell bent on taking it as theirs?!? Articles I've read since show clearly that the Ibos have the Region in their plans when they finally leave Nigeria. Will they be better 'masters' to the Niger-Deltans (if Nigeria splits) than the Northerners presently are to them? I doubt that any group in Nigeria would want to join a new nation where they will be the clear minority.

  The argument that happened this past weekend pitted two Niger-Deltans (one was from Port-Harcourt in Bayelse state, i think. I jotted all this down so if I make any mistakes in spelling forgive me) against 3 ibos (family members) and a yoruba friend who came with the ibos who surprisingly (or maybe not) took sides with the Niger-Deltans (I called them 'deltans' and they took umbrage. They explained that they arent Deltans; I dont remember now their explanation.lol). I dont think the ibo guys will be friends with the yoruba  anymore after this weekend's argument.

   Anyways, the ibos insisted that the Niger Delta had no choice but to come with them if a Biafran nation was declared tommorrow; the Niger Deltans vehemently opposed this and stated that they would rather die than go form a nation with majority ibos. The ibos retort was , then die they would because come hail or sleet the Niger Delta wasnt going anywhere but with Biafra. Their statements shocked me!!! How can you force a people, that has fears of discrimination, to come with you??!?! To go do what, go back into the slavery they are running from? The Niger Deltans said they would never go with the ibos but would instead set up their own nation, OR, they would join a nation of other minorities of some states in present day Nigeria. According to them, discussions are already underway for these minority states to form their own nation (advantage being that there wont be a clear majority) independent of all the major tribes in Nigeria in the even of the inevitable split that is bound to soon engulf the nation.

   The Yoruba guy insisted that the Niger-Delta had the choice to go 'on its own' if they didnt want to be part of Biafra; of course our Ibo buddies didnt find his statement funny in anyway. Furthermore, he informed us that one of the reasons Ojukwu was quick to go to war was because he had every intention of controlling the oil of the indigenous Niger Deltans. I was shocked (although I think I've heard something to this effect before) because if his claims were true, that means Ojukwe clearly had selfish motives for planning a war against its more powerful Nigerian neighbors.

    So, Im asking a simple question, if the Niger Delta does not belong to the Ibos why do they have their eyes on it? Why do they invoke it, always , in their cries for a seperate state? Someone please explain!!!!

Another cheap attempt to start Igbo vs Ijaw war. Are you getting tired of Igbo vs Yoruba wars on nairaland or are you getting tired of your serial igbo bashing here?

Get a day job please. Who said the ND belongs to igbos. Assuming it belongs to Igbos, what will they do with it?. If Niger Delta belongs to you, what will you do with it?.

At times I dont know if ure really this silly, or youre just trying to redeem your image as a known tribalist by accusing everyone else of tribalism. First, according to u, I hate Ibos, then u accused me of hating Yorubas, now its back to me hating Ibos. Dude get a life, I asked a simple question. You dont got an answer, go get some lotion, locate a public bathroom, lock the door, then start jerking off, get discovered because your moans are too loud then get hauled off to jail.

@bk baybe 99 you sound really naive - for any ethnic group in nigeria to think that they can just secede and take the oil wells with them is the biggest joke of the century.  Ask yourself this question - why and how did nigeria defeat biafra in the civil war.  Yes i agree that Ojukwu waged a war for selfish motives (i am igbo btw) but in my view the war was orchestrated by britain.  any ethnic group which intends to secede with the oil reserves will need to understand that they will have to fight a war against britain and america possibly a guerilla war as militarily i dont think any ethnic group in nigeria is sufficiently armed to defend themselves or wage war against the military might of those two.

There is no way the West will tolerate the transfer of power to another ethnic group unless they either sanction it or are defeated in armed struggle.

after all they put their  stooges (the hausa fulani oligarcy) in charge for a reason - what makes you think they will willing allow another group to take control.  Wake up!!! Nigeria is a puppet nation to the United States and Britain.

This poster is a cargo squared 5.
There are Igbos in Niger Delta - Delta state and Rivers.
The Igbos are not in any way trying to side or join with Niger-deltans.
They (Niger-Deltans)hate our guts like die so i don't see any reason why the Igbos would side or join them. Igbos are hard-working people and they don't need to lean on any tribe to survive. Aside from hardwork, they have mineral resources like oil in Imo state & Anambra. Limestone in Nkalagu and others i can't remember.
So get your facts right before spewing rubbish in a public forum. Let ur speculations & baseless information be btw you and your friends.

@Cap28,
The biafra war wasn't because Odumegwu Ojukwu was selfish but because he was fighting for his people.
