Two, we need the current oil revenue. In Nigeria, only six states can survive with the oil revenue they are getting. There are four oil bearing states that cannot survive with the quantity of oil located in their areas. These states are Abia, Imo, Ondo and Edo, they have oil, but it is not as much as they could rely on for survival. But Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom and one other state can survive with the oil located in their respective areas. So, during the first Biafran agitation Ojukwu entered agreement with France whereby he gave concession for the entire oil and gas resources in the Biafran region. If Biafra succeeded, there was no way the Niger Delta people could claim ownership of oil and gas located in their areas.

What does the Niger Delta have to lose by joining the Igbos?

- Northern elite have become wealthy using Niger Delta oil

- It will take decades to clean up our environment because of oil

- The people of the Niger Delta are poor

- The people of the Niger Delta have to travel to Lagos to import things when the ocean is in front of them

I am from the Niger Delta region and i know i am Biafran and it's got nothing to do with oil, but everything to do with my freedom and freedom for my children from Fulani domination.

So why not restructure Nigeria and for once let it function as a true federal state if those in the north truly love the Niger Delta? So that the oil will be in the hands of the owners?

It's amazing that the north that only want forced unity with the hated south because of OIL will be the ones talking here.

Bros it is safe to say that since 1961, the crude oil from southern Nigeria has been owned by the northern region of Nigeria yet the demand for Biafra is as fresh as in 1967. The creation of 12, the boundary adjustment program and 1999 constitution have made sure that no crude oil lives in Igbo land yet the people say take all the crude oil and give us independent Biafra as homeland.

The question is what does the Niger-Delta gain by joining the Igbo's.

At the moment the Ibo have nothing to offer the Niger-Delta. That's what you do not understand, you have no bargaining power.

Beside's the genocide you did to them during the civil war, you still insult them here on nairaland. Several thread have been started for bashing and berating the Niger-Deltan's. The civil war was about the oil in the Niger-Delta and Biafra is about the oil in the Niger-Delta.

If it is or was not about the oil in the Niger-Delta, IPOB would be only bothered about core Ibo states. Since you say you have brothers in the Niger-Delta you can simply partner with them on certain aspects. They can offer you zero taxation and many special benefits in their states, you can even use them as your access point into the Nigerian market.

But, that's not what the your oga's in IPOB want. It's not freedom but free access to oil.

We offer them freedom and a better deal than Nigeria has ever offered them.

Plus we have an organization that can grant them that freedom and provide unity of purpose.

Plus our sheer numbers can provide them with support.

Thankfully most can see that and are sweeling the ranks of IPOB and your inconsequential rants online cannot compete with the grassroots

Why you north want the false force marriage because of the same Oil.


I just wish the southeast senators could summon the courage and move the motion for referendum and boycott the sitting and 2019 election if it is rejected.


I stand for dissolution of the country or true federalism.

In the Nigerian state - the Niger-Delta has never openly declared or widespread advocated for Freedom from Nigeria. But a well deserved position on the dining table and at the helm of the affairs.

The election of GEJ into the presidency is a clear signal that the Niger-Delta is a well respected region in Nigeria. This also means, a Niger-Deltan besided GEJ can become the president again - this principle cannot be contested.

At the moment the Niger-Delta is receiving more allocation from the federal government and will receive even more. They are talks to increase the derivation formula upwards. Kachikwu is doing a wonderful job and his actions have raised the profile of the Niger-Delta not only in Nigeria but around the world. The NDDC is been flushed of corrupt officials, scholarships have been revived and the amnesty fund has been raised by 35bn.

The clean up of oil spillages have commenced and the sullen relationship btw the presidency and Niger-Delta has been patched by the Vice-President.

Why would a region which is slowly but surely receiving the acknowledgement and due owed to it. Move to support Biafra. Do you suppose, these regions have forgotten that either way they are still minorities in Nigeria or Biafra. Why not stay in Nigeria and enjoy the advantages herein.

IPOB need to look inwards. Consult with well studied and successful academicians and technorats. Ask the question - Is Biafra going to serve us more than the Nigerian state ? How long will it take ?

Are you aware that this is 2017 and the world economy has experienced at least two global depressions and we are expecting yet another ?

Are you will to become refugees in Nigeria ? Do you know what it feels to be a refugee ? Do you know what Greece is passing through ?

You that are that you're under bondage wanna promise people freedom
Stop kidding jooor! And you guys needs to be humble. That's how Ojukwu was promising to liberate SW and dragged us into his madness. People can stand arrogance and you guys seems to be filled with it; you have an exaggerated image of your true worth.
Pride comes before destruction.

We are not even talking about oil.

The world is moving away from dirty energy.

The oil for what is worth should be used to clean up our environment which has been polluted by Nigeria

Idiot, your leader killed 3 million of his people because of greed for oil.

It was because he wanted to steal the oil that made him so desperate to secede.

He was so desperate for the oil he risked millions of Igbo lives to fight a dumb and stupid war for which he had no weapons, no army, no airforce, and no navy.

When his plan failed, he hopped on a plane to the Ivory Coast and left you to your own devices.
