they invented the niger delta or south south to keep nigeria as one nation because of biafra.   this is the reason they invented the south south. it is a divide and rule approach to keep nigeria one.

they wanted to remove the oil from an igbo dominate area so that there will not be break up.  since igbo will feel they have no oil. so why break. the invented the niger delta to make the igbo doubt if river, akwa ibom or cross river will go with them.

 
They know that Delta state was not part of the niger delta or south south because they knew Itsekiri were Yorubas. And they also knew they were majority, that why the govt give false census figure to make the itsekiri people feel inferior or minority in a country where they were majority.
before independent Itsekiri were classified as Yorubas, 

The Nigeria govt declassified and dehumanized the itsekiri from the Yorubas using the media, which it controls.    The same thing they are doing with the Ikwerri people of river, to make them doubt if they are Igbo or not.

@ musiwa,,.

For once, you have stumbled into a bitter truth. The recent nomenclatural nonsense of South-south and Niger Delta was invented to keep misguided One-Nigeria as one nation because of biafra.

@kunlekunle

Niger Delta was a reference adopted by the colonists through Royal Niger Company and made popular by missionaries who used it as a Dioceses with its headquarter in Onitcha.
Re: They Invented Niger Delta Or South South To Keep Nigeria As One becaus of biafra by musiwa43: 6:16pm On Mar 03, 2012
why would i lie to you. i dont lie. they should go into nigeria govt classified papers. there was nothing like south south or niger delta before 1999. The nigeria invented the niger delta  or south south to keep nigeria as one country. 

as long as the igbo feel inferior have not having an form of resource, they will not call for biafra. This is why they invented the Niger delta or south south.  They knew itsekiri who the itsekiri were. and they knew the history and they have the raw data of the census to know the truth about the population of the census in delta state.  It is just a game to keep nigeria as one nation.

You want to tell me, they dont know that ikwerri people are igbo.  nonsense

Re: They Invented Niger Delta Or South South To Keep Nigeria As One becaus of biafra by musiwa43: 7:21pm On Mar 03, 2012
look some of the people playing the role as niger delta leader and shouting niger delta or south south. are members of the SSS. Nigeria secret service. I am telling you this information. 

Look Asari dokubo  real name is Uzodinma Goodhead Jr.    You want to tell me. Uzodinma Goodhead Jr have never heard the name Ayo oristjafor before. he made himself the father of the Niger delta. He knows there is a man call ayo Oritsajefor and that he is from delta state. He knows Tunde Akogun is from edo state.

Look my nigeria politician are member of the nigeria govt secret service.  because it is hard to keep a nation with 200 million people unity as one.  So many of them are only playing a drama  role.
if nigeria break up into many group .

or you think asari does not know amachie is like an igbo man  or odili.   he is only acting because they want itsekiri oil. why will asari want people with yoruba names in an imagine country except for oil money.

Niger delta has existed for a long time. Isaac Boro founded a still born niger delta republic and the willink commission recognized a niger delta area composed of only ijaw and ogoni areas. The ND devt board existed in the sixties. Unfortunately it was never formalized as a distinct political area before creation of states. Today, every person does their ND definition as it suits them. But that does not mean it does not exist. Nigeria is not made up of 3 entities
Re: They Invented Niger Delta Or South South To Keep Nigeria As One becaus of biafra by musiwa43: 7:50pm On Mar 03, 2012
Isaac boro wanted bayelsa state to be a country, call niger delta republic. So he took over the whole of bayelsa state with its men.
Re: They Invented Niger Delta Or South South To Keep Nigeria As One becaus of biafra by Dede1(m): 7:59pm On Mar 03, 2012
Actually and intellectually Niger Delta does not exist. However due to nomenclatural tendency, there is Niger Delta. The Delta which is referenced as Niger Delta was formed by Rivers Niger, Benue, Imo, Utamiri, Urashi and Qua. Due to the fact Nigeria got its name from combine words of Niger and area, hence Niger Delta. It is funny that areas that have absolutely nothing to with River Niger, Benue, Imo, Utamiri, Urashi or Qua are politically labeled Niger Delta. No wonder anything seems to work in the jungle called Nigeria. Ordinary directional reference can not be correct due idiotic politics born out of tribal ding.
Re: They Invented Niger Delta Or South South To Keep Nigeria As One becaus of biafra by Dede1(m): 8:04pm On Mar 03, 2012
Isaac Adaka Boro was a non starter as far as Niger Delta crap is concern. Even before Isaac Boro graduated from High School, there was political party named NDC (Niger Delta Congress) which won one seat in federal election under leadership of Melford Okilo.
Re: They Invented Niger Delta Or South South To Keep Nigeria As One becaus of biafra by musiwa43: 8:51pm On Mar 03, 2012
ijaw Niger Delta Congress had an ijaw
uhrobo had the Uhrobo People Union.
edo had Otu-Edo party
Ibibio had Ibibio State Union


So why force Ijaw on other people using the media. I think we need too respect others in Nigeria.


ijaw Niger Delta Congress was an ijaw party whose founder was Dappa Biriye. The Uhrobo People Union was founded by Mukoro Mowoe.

The shout of south south by some members of the Nigeria is because the level of violent is so high in nigeria. It is 10 times higher than the USA or canada. People are mad in nigeria.   It is had for them as secret service agent to keep nigeria one. and they are even under paid, than is if they get their money on time.  They use the tool to keep the igbo people at bay.

Look at this video , it tell you the level of violent in Nigeria. it is extremely high.

@musiwa
they invented the niger delta or south south to keep nigeria as one nation because of biafra. this is the reason they invented the south south. it is a divide and rule approach to keep nigeria one.


this is the outcome of the Abacha constitutional conference.
S.229 (4): For the purpose of subsection (1) of this section, the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria shall be as set out in part III of the First Schedule To this Constitution.

1.zone | states
1. North-Central - Benue, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, Plateau, and Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
2. North-Eastern - Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe.
3. North-Western | Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara.
4. South-Eastern | Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo.
5. South-South | Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo and Rivers.
6. South-Western | Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun and Oyo.

all these zones existed before 1995. but not called zones
they were proposed in the constitution for rotational presidency but was not adopted in 1999.
it became PDP's green book.

the problem in the SS and SE is that before the colonial days they lived in clans and not properly defined culture or race, thats why a two mile town is now a country.

There has always. Been a Nigeria Delta area geographically and socially even before the oyibos came it encapsulated the ijaw,ijoid areas and some of her close neighbors. This area was also deprived except for portharcourt when it was made a port federal govt did not invent it. The people of these areas also struggled for development. Part of their struggles culminated in the creation of old rivers state. In a sense old rivers state was really the original neglected Niger Delta.the ijaws also wanted to include the ijaws of old bendel state although most of them did not really identify with the region. The other members also felt uncomfortable because adding the bendel ijaws would give the ijaws an overwhelming majority. Bottom line it was not a Nigerian govt invention.you need to read the history of the people from the precolonial,colonial and post colonial times. Current day niger Delta is more political..the old niger Delta was quite workable politically and socially and our forefathers married ,traded and understood our selves.the igbos of south east states were seen as the hinterland folks a bit different but good trade partners.

Abacha constitutional conference were mostly hand selected people, there was a boycott of Abacha constitutional conference.. this is why its decision was not accepted. there was nothing like that only the west, east and north.

the mid west was created when zik conspire with the north to jail enahoro and awolowo, alfred rewane. this is the reason the igbos alway claim the first coup was to correct the mistake

What do you mean by igbos of south east states(east central state),was there anything like south east(east central) before 1970?

The South South was invented when Igbo s tried to occupied Niger Delta , renaming Calabar as New Onitsha , and forcing then Cross Riverian to be answering Igbo names . That causes the calabar to open their port and let Nigerian troops in and also gave them directions to Igbo land

falsehood will fade and truth will stand the test of time. Biafra will never die. Biafra is more real and potent than Nigeria.
