From the response so far, it is evident that the easterners(SE and SS) on this forum welcome the idea, while some people from outside the region are doing all within them to cause discouragement. I see panic flying through the air.

Let me assure non easterners(non SE and SS) that they have nothing to fear as our unification is solely for our regional interests and not to harm anyone. We are law-abiding people and will follow every legitimate route to get what we want. Though we won't give room for blackmail and intimidation.

barcanista:
I know people like you. Take your time to read the Original write-up. You don't fault regional integration. Why do you think there exist groups like ACF, Odua, Afenifere, YCA, INC etc? Plse stop acting like ignorantly. Ignore thread if you aren't interested. Thanks

let me tell u the truth dear,,,an alliance between the south south and south east will never work...im frm akwaibom and say dis without any prejudice...its either each of naijadeltan states elopes into an independent country,or we remain with nigeria....the perception of the igbos frm we naijadeltans is not too pleasant..dont let 2015 election deceive u.[b].we supported GEJ coz he's our own despite his failures..south east supported GEJ coz of their anti-north stand...[/b]we have moved on after GEJ's defeat,,and we welcome this administration with open arms,...

Oga, what binds the Kanuris and the Beroms? These two tribes are represented in a united Northern Group. And what binds the Francophone Mali and the Anglophone Ghana? tell me? There lies your answer!

ideykwum:
There are more things to unite us, than what divides us! Some people only look for the divisions and magnify them. As an Okrika man, I am more related to the Igbos than a Bini man who claims South-South with me! So, why is it okay to be only South-South and not Easterner? Prejudice abounds! I'm for a united Eastern Nigerian!

barcanista:
This is a wonderful idea. The media is a very powerful tool and should be based within the region. Brilliant

You are now a mind reader, aye? Reading the minds of everyone in the SE and being able to tell exactly what their motives for voting GEJ were.....
How is GEJ your own? Last time I checked, he wasn't from your ethnic group.
You think the Igbos didn't see him as their own, same way you saw him as your own?
You have as much and as little in common with Ijaws as you have with Igbos and as Igbos have with Ijaws.
Don't let politically motivated classifications fool you.
Your own....funny.

CHESSBOARD:


we can call the media "SESS" eg Radio sess, tvsess, www.sess.com, news sess etc .... we should do away with Biafra for now... we can start by creating a website and getting the sess states government to align and support its growth

The SS cannot be part of the Equation anymore. Because they will still be the minority in your *barcanista* proposals and they know it. You want to unite when Evans Enwerem was removed by late Okadigbo, when Abia state can sack all the civil servants of IMO origin from its work force? Even MASSOB is presently divided..... The list is endless. Sorry, Your Abracadabra will not work @ OP.

Unless you quoted the wrong post, to avoid appearing cuckoo, it would do you good to explain what you're on about.

After just concluded presidential election, the SS now want alliance with SE...... All this years the have always denied us even here on nairaland..... Please my igbo ppl should reject them now cus they will still betray us again

Very Important:
1. If you are an Igbo Supremacist, Ijaw Supremacist, Urhobo Supremacist, Efik Supremacist, Ikwerre Supremacist, Ibibio Supremacist or any other tribal supremacist, this thread is NOT for you. Though we will be glad to see everyone drop their supremacist ideology.

2. We don't need to be violent to get what we want. If you are a promoter of violence, please drop the idea and embrace strategic and non violent means. The West(Yorubas) is a typical example of pursuing an interest without firing a single bullet. It is not cowardice to be strategic, it is not bravery to be violent.

3. To people of non-eastern origin, this thread is neither an Eastern supremacist thread nor a racist thread. It is a thread that is aimed at promoting the socio-political and economic interests of the "easterners" within the Nigeria State(similar to Afenifere Renewal Group and Northern Groups).

4. The[size=14pt] term "easterners" include our brother in the defunct Mid-western region I.e Present day Edo and Delta States. It does not exclude those with "eastern" origin[/size] in diaspora.

No need to show off. Being able to attach photos to posts is nothing new.

Not my fault that you wouldn't identify an intelligent comment if it slapped you across the face.

Wow...You're really good at this photo attaching thing. Anything else you're good at?

OrlandoOwoh:

As always, you're as confused as the OP. The OP has been able to draw a parallel between the defunct Eastern Region (prior to May 27 1967) and today's South South and South East. If Barcanista wants the South South and South East to take a common stand in the light of the just released election, he is free, but shouldn't be missing it up with the "Eastern Region." It is not all the states in those two geo-political zones that made up the defunct Eastern Region. Mid-Western Region (today's Edo and Delta states) were never part of the Eastern Region. In fact, before 1963 they were part of the defunct Western Region. My question, why is it convenient for you to exclude Edo State, leaving Delta State?

No matter how many articles u write here, south south ll never see south east as their brothers and vice versa.

The only thing that makes d ibos vote overwhemly for gej was because of the azikwe and dey see south south as lesser evils than North.

Imagine a colleuge of mine here (a calabar) who is married to an ibo woman and still disses and hate ibo pple. Smh
