No, a structure where states have their own constitution, with a regional development framework and minimal interference from federal Government. Federal governments will look to states and regions for allocation not the other way round. The power at the center is reduced drastically and it becomes less attractive. We save the money we use to overfeed the Senate and reps , and invest it in infrastructure and development of states.

urhobo women didnt suffer under fulanis....the hausas didnt come close to the delta to start with.....biafra invaded urhoboland not fulanis...

THROWBACK ON BIAFRA:
FEW FACTS EVERY RIVERS & BAYELSAN MUST KNOW ABOUT THE DECLARATION OF THE STATE OF BIAFRA IN 1967.

1. Did you know that the State of Biafra was declared three (3) (30/05/1967) days after Rivers State (comprising present Rivers State and Bayelsa State) was created on 27/05/1967?

2. Did you know that one of the reasons for the declaration of Biafra (which is rarely spoken about) is the creation of Rivers State, which appeared, rightly so too, to have whittled down the grip and control of the then Eastern Nigeria over the resources and affairs of the area called Rivers State, especially Port Harcourt City?

3. Did you know that before the creation of Rivers State (and the resultant declaration of Biafra-three days after) that Port Harcourt was literarily "colonized" by the Igbos, who used their influence as the majority group/tribe in the then Eastern State of Nigeria to marginalized the present people of Rivers and Bayelsa States?

4. Did you know that the oppression and marginalization were so much that the indigenous land(s) of the Port Harcourt people especially were forcibly taken over from them, renamed and developed by force; and if resisted, such resistant indigene was arrested to Enugu and some were not lucky enough to survive the maltreatment, inhumanity that followed?

5. Did you know that the atrocities and inhumanity were so much that the Nigeria Government acknowledge it and agreed to concede a state for the indigenous people residing in the present Rivers and Bayelsa State?

6. Did you know that as a result of the manifest oppression and brut force in the manner which the Igbos forcibly took over land from the indigenous people of the area within Rivers and Bayelsa, especially Port Harcourt, Rivers State was the ONLY STATE IN NIGERIA, (not even in the state of the champions on either side of the war), after the Civil War, where landed Properties were declared ABANDONED PROPERTY upon a Military Decree (which exists as part of the Laws of Rivers State till date)?

7. Did you know that the Abandoned Property Law was made to allow the Igbos show prove that the properties were legitimately acquired, and with mutual consent of the original indigenous owners?

8. Did you know that 85% of the Igbos could not show legitimate prove of acquisition of those "forcibly" acquired properties in Port Harcourt and that they still bear old grudge till date for the loss?

9. Do you know that they still retain same old attitudes, with no form of remorse and apology to Rivers people.

You will have to find sonething else to 100% because there is no ethnic group in the world called Niger Delta.

By the way, have you asked Ijaw, Itshekiri, Ibibio etc in referend7m if they want to be with you?

boy u see there are people who are really good at this thing i mean propaganda but painfully u are not one of them so quit it b4 u becom a laughing stock however u can try again wen ur IQ craws to 30

Come back home, you are still fuming and venting about the civil war which history have been banned by the government because of their shameful past. But I am talking about TODAY.

Does it not strike you as odd that some people who claim to be Urhobo here will rather dwell on the past history of a 2 years + war which the details are banned, than discuss the present day free rape of a people right in their own land? Is there not a Fulani camp in Urhobo land today, is fighting against the declaration of Biafra more important than the present day rapes?

That is why I still maintain that frathermathy and batundra are Yoruba's, but pretending to be from the Niger Delta.

martyns303:


I believe you mean "crawl", someone with an IQ of over 30 like yourself should know better.

calling us yorubas will not quiet us on nairaland....and if you dont give up this your biafra nonesense,the next step is we shall meet on the streets but we shall not be discussing but rather beating up each other...

stop including us into biafra,or we will take you very seriously...

we urhobos are not known to talk that much....but we can keep our disdain for you quietly till you come too near like in the civil war....

No, I don't dig it. From what you just wrote, you people are one confused tribe of people hopping around from religion to religion without any understanding of the true teachings of any.

You just painted your tribe as a fickle minded bunch of people.

martyns303:


I am 100% Niger Deltan, why are the Igbos so eager for the ND to merge with Biafra? When the ND can use the same referendum for self determination. You are accusing the North of forcibly integrating Igbos into Nigeria, and here you are forcibly trying to integrate another region into Biafra. Is that not hypocrisy?

Look at that one up there complaining that they should be controlling our resource by the simple fact that they are "our neighbors".

During the Civil war, the people of ND were simply casualties, each side fighting to integrate us into them for the sole purpose of our wealth. We say no more, in the event of the disintegration of Nigeria, we are neither going with Biafra or the other side. We are standing on our, no longer shall we be used.

Arda1000:
you are 100 percent niger delta how? did you grand fathers know the name Niger delta?

menxer:


Emeka! Relax, why should the igbos control all the oil blocks?

Oh! So this Biafra thing is actually about the oil resources?

honeychild:


Nope. They are an enlightened bunch who know that who and what you worship is your personal choice. In every yoruba family there is a mix of christian, Muslim and traditionalist.

I repeat....we do not do religious bigotry.

You are smart to identify these 2 people


These are people more concern about Biafra than the invasion of Urhobo land by Fulani herdsmen

EzeUche:
I am still waiting for someone to tell me what in common that the Urhobo have with the Ibibio.

The Aro Igbo who have a shared history with the Ibibio and culture and are the closest neighbors.

Amberon11:
Why are you people so desperate? What is your business with what we have in common? What do you Igbo's have in common with the Ibibio apart from being close neighbors? This desperation is making more Niger Deltans hate Biafra.

Adiola:
my goodness so you are no longer ss remember that thread where you quoted someone of events in pH during Biafra dit at home ...you are one of the reason Igbo race insults the yoruba
