Someone may be stealing from you.
We've been told that Igbos want to steal other peoples oil, but nobody blinks when our oil is being stolen indirectly.
Igboland may be the richest part of Nigeria in terms of human and natural resources, but our region host the least federal projects.
Think.

ileke bebe-idi:

Well, news flash, no one is leaving until the oil runs dry.

Becomrichn:

your maps are useless to me. they are hand draw. i am using latest technology.

i can tell you location everywhere. better than what you have . more accurate. your map is not accurate. i can see each oil well and tell you which state , they are. i can even tell you how many per state.

it is people from this area that draw this fake map to get oil money in derivation.

look my friend it is more than oil,.


ask any nigerian. why do you think boro haman want to leave nigeria. they dont have oil in the north. it is deep issue that would lead to civil war. i dont think you are nigerian.

As I said earlier in this thread, those maps I guess are evidence that Biafra will never come to be.

EzeUche_:

And I hope you realize that Biafra was over oil. The North after they had finished their pogroms wanted to secede, but the British talked some "sense" into Gowon and told him that Ojukwu and the Igbos would become a wealthy nation, because of all the oil.

The East remains conquered territory.

However, if there is another war, which may likely happen, do not think it will be the same dynamics. The world has changed.

Eh, probably a long discussion appropriate for another thread. . . but I'm not sure the dynamics has changed in your favor, personally. I'd much rather try to win a war with the resources of the Eastern Region behind me, rather than a land that has been divvied up.

Do you know that as little as 5 months ago, I thought the SE zone included Cross River and Akwa Ibom?

Looks like the region has been purposefully balkanized: http://insidenigeria.org/images/bigmap_of_nigeria.gif

eku_bear:

Yep., starting to look like oil was a big reason. I wouldn't let those oilfields go myself, if I were in charge. I don't think anyone would.

ndu_chucks:

Hear, hear!!


The map posted by the OP is more accurate than not, though not 100% accurate. No one can blame the Igbo coup plotters of the past and Ojukwu for attempting to secceed. Imagine a biafra with all that oil! I venture to say that such a country would rival the Arab oil rich countries on several levels. The sad truth is that the biafrans lost the war and will never form that nation without first killing off the rest of Nigeria - an impossibility at best. Best option for biafrans is to learn to live and let live, learn to be nationalists and patriotic.

As Ileke posited, y'all ain't going nowhere as long as the oil fields are not yet dry (i.e. unless massive reserves are found in Sakwato, Kaduna, or the Chad basin).

@Becomerich, go on soun. Hand drawn maps can be used to distort facts. let the OP produce satellite images to justify his claims

alex101:

BTW, my friend, why didn't your leaders (from the 1970's to date) develop nigeria, with all these oil to rival the oil rich arab countries?

Becomrichn:

houvent, when in the picture do you see oil in the south east, the south east has no oil. only 1 oil well, even if you had the ones in ndoniin rivers .it make 6 well in igboland.

ndu_chucks:


@houvest, you like most other Nigerians, particularly from the East, have been sold the notion that the civil war was not about oil. Only a fool will continue to believe that Ojukwu's main goal was not to control the oil rich region. Ojukwu's plans ultimately failed due to poor planning and abbysmal strategies coupled by naivity. Quite sad.

@Onlytruth, shatap dia! Biafra is as d.ead as the Otu of a 110 year old woman, move on. olodo

Onlytruth:

You are the fool because you believe that theft can be allowed to stand for ever. No my friend it won't.

Believe me, all it would take is a brilliant idea (which can come up at any time), and you would wake up to see that you are facing a war you cannot win.

Your constant mistake is to assume that every future eastern move must resemble 1967.

Truth is that we may even use your previous allies against you next time.
One of these day,we will pursue, overtake and recover all our stolen assets.

tyrant11:

nobody ever said that igbo land has no oil , but is bayelsa state igbo land is akwa ibom igbo land ?? is cross river igbo land ? . who gave u the right to declare them biafra.
