I stand by my word.
Ijaws, Ogonis, Urhobos, Itsekiris etc Are NOT interested in Biafra.
I am a Rivers indigene, I know them very well.
No amount of IPOB intimidation can shake me.
I stand firmly with an IGBO NATION.

Ankio Briggs and Asari are Igbos.?

Those middle belt people that visited Kanu are Igbos too.?


Just laughing at this Hausa Fulani Afonja spy


Every tribe that has interest in escaping this disaster called Nigeria are free to join Biafra

Amarabae:
chief, if you watch my comments here, I am opposed to IPOB including minorities in their map without consultation.
They attack me here because of that.

They attack u because they think real igbos should not think like u. They think real igbos suppose to think like Ipob. So if u don't think like Ipob or u oppose their plans, they think u are Afonja like the rest of us, because to them, only an Afonja can do such a thing

toolovely:


what is south south? is there anything like south south in the Cardinals points?

oga there is nothing wrong with the name SOUTH SOUTH.
It is used for political administration just like North Central.
Do we have South central in Nigeria?
stop this "what is south south cardinal point" noise.
Middle west aka midwest was carved out of western nigeria, where is midwest in cardinal point.
We should be focused in uniting the IGBOS both in south east and south south like me, not this kind of "cardinal point"noise.

Amarabae:
thanks for replying.
You said Niger delta is only ijaw land, urhoboland and itsekiri land and have nothing to do with Igbos.
How did you come at this ridiculous conclusion and classification, and whats your backup fact?

Look at the geographical map of the Niger Delta (where the Niger River meets the Atlantic). That point and its estuaries and creeks has nothing to do with Igboland!

Keep quiet. Are you not ashamed of saying the bolded? So your Biafra must be centered on Niger delta and anyone who opposes is Hausa/Fulani/Yoruba spy right?

So without Niger delta, Biafra is nothing right? Just so you know that lady is one of the most sensible Igbo's on this forum and is not an ass licker like you and your fellow Igbos.

ScotsReferendum:



To me she is an Hausa Fulani spy

You know that Hausa Fulani people want only the Igbos to go so as to keep plundering the resources of the minorities.

If you listen to her comments, you will see that same message advocated by the Hausa Fulani people

To me, she is not an Igbo.


She has never for once advocated that the minorities escape with us and later go their separate way if they desire to do so


I am so happy that many Igbos avoided this useless thread because they understood my message

Look at those snaky lines in the picture and point how many are Igboland. That's the real Niger Delta!

Ijaw Youth Council(IYC) said NO to biafra and IPOB said that its their "personal opinion and don't speak for ijaws BUT Dokubo is pro biafra, to you Igbos, it is not his personal opinion and he speak for ijaws?
I can't live in delusion in this life.
You are from either Anambra or Imo and you want to tell me a Rivers indigene about ijaws. Lols.
Go to the palace of Diete Spiff and tell him Biafra.

How some people believe that Obasanjo can create a Niger deltan is shocking.

obasanjo, the creator and God of Niger delta

Amarabae my crush.. you have good points but the fact still remains that igbos won't decide for the over 5 tribes native to the SS region.

Igbos should stop the idea of SS and SE, it won't work. Just like they want a separate country so also do the SS people have right. I stand to be corrected if atal I'm wrong

where the Niger River meets the atlantic is NOT the definition of Delta.
Find out the meaning of Delta and then study its relationship with River Niger.
Then come back and tell me.

I think you should be more corcerned about a country of just South West and The North.

StOla:


It's really pathetic that even you that your own people are instructing to drink green hydraulic soup and stop claiming Igbo, Asa or DBanj, because they doubt your claims to their ethnicity, is also the same victim deciding who is NigerDelta or not based on their opinion that does not suit your argument.

Rather pathetic. A victim also victimizing.

I will continue to ask, why does the Igbo believe there are in a position to decide who is truly SS/NigerDelta or not?

Nigeria has long liberated those minorities from the Igbo grip. If a man says he is Oron tribe, who is the Igbo to decide if he is or not?
As it stands now, the minority Igbo in Delta or Rivers are the ones in the grip of the SS/NigerDelta.

The Igbos will always have a say in SS/ND as long as there are Igbos there.

Maybe a readjustment of the boundary back to what it was before the 1976 adjustment could put a stop to it. But until then the entire Igbos will always have a say in whatever happens to our people in SS. Kapish!

If you go into the street of Nigeria and ask, who is a Niger Deltan?
95% of respondents will likely fail the question.
The Reason for this write up is that some Peoples ignorantly love to use the phrase "IGBOS and NIGER DELTANS".
Its wrong and an embarrasement to the intellectual mindset.
-
First, What is a Delta?
A Delta is a Land area where a River spread into diverse tributuaries before emptying into an Ocean or Sea.
-
Niger Delta is the delta of River Nigeria.
The USA has Mississippi Delta.
The China has Yangtze Delta.
The Egypt has Nile delta.
And so on.
-
In Nigeria, How Is A Niger Deltan identified, lets examine it in three ways and then solve the Igbos and Niger Delta Question.
-
1) Niger Delta as Oil Producing Areas?- If Niger Delta is classified by Oil Producing Areas, that mean Igbos, Yorubas, Ijaws, Urhobos etc are part of it.
- Yorubas produce Oil in Ondo state.
- Igbos have Oil producing areas in Ukwa areas of Abia, Egbema, Asa/Ndoki, Oguta, Ogbaru, Ndoni, Omuma, Etche etc.
-
So if it is classified by Oil producing areas, that means all ethnic groups in southern Nigeria are Niger Deltans.
-
2) Niger Deltans As South South States?- This is the classification many use to define Niger Deltan.
And they even Ignorantly think Igbos are not part of it.
I am an Asa lady from Oyigbo LGA In Rivers state.
I am proudly Igbo and Niger Deltan.
Also the Ndokis, Ndoni, Etches, Egbemas etc are also Oil producing areas in South South and they are part of the Igbo Nation.
Ikwerre, Ogba and Ekpeye may be a battleground of identity issue but they are of Igboid stock.
So you see if we use South South as classification of Niger deltan, IGBOS are part and parcel of it.
-
3) Niger Deltan By Virtue Of Geographical Location?
If we go by this classification, that means Edo and Cross River people are not Niger deltans, because there is no delta of the River Niger in their location.
If we go by this classification, that means IGBOS are fully part of the Niger Delta.
-
My Final submission is that trying to create Niger Delta without mentioning IGBOS is a big FRAUD.
There are Igbos in the term "NIGER DELTA".
Even the River Niger is a dermacation between two Igbo Cities Onitsha and Asaba.
-
The days of divide and conquer are fading away.
I am an Asa/Ndoki person.
Oyigbo is my LGA!
Rivers is my state.
IGBO is my ethnic nation.
And Yes I am a Niger Deltan just like my fellow Igbos like Etches, Ndonis, Egbemas, Ogbarus, Ogutas, etc.
Thank you all.

if all you have said above even though very subjective statements and open to arguments are true. then of course you are igbo. but are you biafran? are you and your people interested in a biafran enclave? do you speak in generality of your people to want to be dominated by a majority igbo which you claim to be part of but yet admit the presence of other non igbos as well as igbos with identity crisis. this is a pertinent question that should be answered to drive the point and argument against creating a dichotomy between an south south person and the igbo

To them, for you to be a real Igbo, you must think like an IPOB and join them in shameless begging!

where the Niger River meets the atlantic is NOT the definition of Delta.

Then come back and tell me.

The River Niger Delta is where the River Niger makes contact with the Atlantic Ocean and the various estuaries and creeks that are created by it.

If you think this is wrong, then let's hear your definition. There is only one definition of a delta.

In case you didn't see it before.

Why should we include Igbos in our niger delta republic? So that you people will call us attaché by force right? Well we have our own struggle and igbos are not part of it. Niger Delta republic is strictly for the minorities in the SS, igbos will have their Biafra.

Candyrain:


Whether Igbos are in Niger Delta changes nothing really just like u stated but it's mischievous of u guys to deliberately exclude mentioning Igbos when talking about Niger Delta as if they ain't there.

And point of correction, the real geographical ND are present day Delta, Rivers and Bayelsa States. Akwa Ibom isn't by virtue of their location.

No dear.. it won't work that way.
If atal Nigeria will split, everyone will go their separate ways and we'll have nothing less than 6 small countries out of the "big" Nigeria.

Yorubas have a clearly defined boundary, we don't need to do attache with any region or force any oil producing community with us. Oduduwa republic will stand.

Igbos in the SS are tenants.. The real owners are the Ikweres, Ijaws etc. They can evict you guys whenever they like.

Right!
you think it will be that easy? tall buildings will just spring up overnight in the Niger Delta and become headquarters.

You need to check proximity to ports which is why we Yorubas have the uppermost hand. If it was that easy, SS won't be having the challenges she has today.
Moreover, Igbos won't have free passage in SW hope you know.. remember you guys are so landlocked. Well you can pally with Cameroon and the likes but no easy passage for you guys in Yorubaland. Same applies to Hausas

fratermathy:

using estuaries in your analogy of Delta is highly flawed.
What you should use is Tributaries.
Because a Delta is a land area where a river divides into small rivers and empty into a large bodies.
IGBO LAND has Tributaries.

hahahahaha. So hausas have waterways for import?
Igbo land is NOT and never landlocked, that lie has been peddled for a long time.
Obeaku in Abia is just 12nauticals to the atlantic ocean and it needs dredging and expansion.
And yes, building skyscrapers is not a rocket science when the oil company headquaters relocates.

eastsidechillz:
The Huasas and Yoruba divide and rule Designed by the British intelligence is second to none.

They have SUCCESFULLY divided a region.

By Geographic definition of SS and SE

ONLY rivers, bayelsa, delta, are SS

CALABAR AND akwaibom are even more SE than the 5 Igbo states.

For too long they've succeeded.

Unless som1 says enough, this contraception will continue.

Lol.
I think you mean 'contraption'. Contraception refers to methods/items used to prevent conception during sex.

Amarabae:
my people dominated by Igbos? How can Igbos dominate Igbos?
Why do you guys think that the divide and conquer will last forever?
The oil in our land, who is dominating it? Is it not the Northern oil blocs owners and the oil company headquaters in Lagos? Huh?

so igbos are the majority in rivers state, that's is a revelation. so absence of the oil Company head quarters from rivers state has stunted it growth? that is to say that all monies that have ever resulted from oil which have been given to rivers state through oil derivation have all Been well spent and your people are reaping the benefits of that in quality infrastructure and education? am learning alternate facts today

And I didn't say you should point out tributaries in Igboland but RIVER NIGER DELTA TRIBUTARIES!
