That doesn't change the fact that the SS and SE voted in mass for jonathan. We are not here to drag abt who gave buhari more vote b/w SS and SE.

You can see even Rivers PDP is commending buhari for Ogoni UNEP report implementation fast tracking. That is how we the south south do our things. we are not children of bitterness and hatred and wailing waling

Election is in the past. we are now concentrating on a better Nigeria. this clearly shows we have no hatred or anything against Buhari or the north. Please our IGBO neighbour, count us out from ur hatred and bigotry. we wont buy it.

We know you don't love us. Because in Nigeria you are not in control, you want a country were you will control others. Whether in Nigeria or in BBIAFRA we the south south will still be minority. we are better off in Nigeria where we are the BRIDE with three grooms fighting to have us than in BBIAFRA were we will have no choice than to comply and even change our official language to IGBO. in BBIAFRA south south nations will lose their identity.

They are absolutely related. The proudly 5% in the topic is strictly an IGBO slogan. we south south don't say proudly 5%. so why put south south with south east when the aim of the topic is the force Proudly 5% on us. My problem with you guys is simple. Only open South east topics. stop forcing south south on your issue. your problem is not our problem. we are different. we are not one. it is Nigeria as a nation that makes us one. without Nigeria, south south and south east are different nations with different interest.

delta Igbo does not represent south south. delta Igbo is a bridge btw SS and SE. you are not core south south. I am from EDO STATE. MY urhobo, itsekri, isoko and Ijaw friends share my view. I live in porthartcout. the ikweres share similar view
Today I was having this discussion with my isoko friend in Woji portharcourt , his view abt BBIAFRA are even more negative than mine. mine is even mild.

After the last General election in which extreme majority of the SS and SE voted for PDP. Many political analyst, politicians e.t.c , have been criticizing the SS and SE as being bad political strategist and some even went on to say that they deserve less federal presence under the APC ruling party for their stupidity. I see this critics as rubbish, senseless and uncalled for . Any region in the shoes of SS and SE would had done the same thing they did; so why tag them as bad political strategist whom put all their eggs in one basket by voting for PDP in mass, while the other regions are pictured as better. SW and North are never better political strategist than SS and SE; so enough of the chest beating.

Below are some conspicuous reasons why majority of SS and SE voted for PDP


1. Religion Issue : APC was seen by the SS and SE as a muslim party with a muslim agenda. This is quit understandable, because almost all their interior national leaders were muslim. SS and SE zone unlike the SW and North, are made up of majority christians (christian 98%- muslim 2%) , and the muslim domination of APC leadership was threatens them.

www.nairaland.com/1341518/apc-islamist-party-check-out

if you a Christian form party who do you think Will dominate at first. is it their fault that Christians refuse to participate in politics

2. PDP domination of SS and SE Zones : it's a known fact that the ruling political party in a state often influences the direction of the people's vote in the state during election. The SS and SE are made up of 11 states, and out of the 11 states only 3 states were under the ruling of APC , the rest was under PDP rulings except Anambra which was under APGA. Unlike in 2011 when jonathan contested, majority of the states in Nigeria were under PDP ruling, which explains why jonathan got vote in mass from different parts of country.

as you can see y'all can't even form a party successfully and yet call Yoruba slaves to Hausa. SMH

3. Buhari's Personality: Buhari has be accredited with numerous bigotry utterances relating to religion, which is seen as a threat by the Christian majority mostly from the SS and SE. Buhari had once said he will not relent in the struggle to ensure that sharia law covers the whole of Nigeria. And also he had once averred that a fight against boko haram is a fight against the North, coupled with the fact that boko haram once nominated him as their negotiating spokesman. Many of the people from the SS and SE zones want change away from PDP ruling, but sees buhari as a tribal and religious bigot and a no go area for them. If APC had present another candidate, believe me the case would have been different. And it's understandable.

www.thisdaylive.com/articles/buhari-military-offensive-against-boko-haram-anti-north/149256/

we all make bigoted statements im the heat of passion. if apc had presented another candidate pdp will still be in power

4. Tribe/Region: This is a general phenomenon and not limited to SS and SE. Most people in the North voted in mass for APC because of Buhari

noo they voted for integrity of theand relatively incorruptibility


; most people in the SW voted in mass for APC because of Tinubu .

noo they voted for a potential pdp killer. we don't like him cut we needed to take down pdp


Unlike the North and the SW, the SS and SE had no political giant in the fame of APC interior leadership.

your fault or their fault


Most people in the SS and SE voted in mass for Jonathan because he is from the same region.

stupidity personified

This is a fact we can't deny. In 2011 presidential election, majority of the people from NE and NW voted in mass for buhari over jonathan , and even went ahead to create tension in their region when Jonathan was announce as the winner. Whether we like it or not the tribe and region of candidates play a big role during general elections.

yes they do but not when 1 frog eyed woman steaks 20 bn dollars. wetin you wan make we steal when we reach dia


5. Formation of APC : APC is a merger of CPC, ANPP and ACN. The CPC which stronghold is in the extreme Northern part of the country was formed in 2006 by General Muhammadu Buhari. The ANPP had it's stronghold also in the extreme North and a ruling party in kano. ACN had strong presence in the South West (5 Governors, 15 Senators and 6 State Houses), and a ruling party in Lagos. This explains why APC was seen as a Northern dominated Party, because it was obvious the North has upper hand in the control of the party. The APC has no SS and SE presence under it's formation caucus.
yeah right, Imo and Edo are pdp states im your mind

dearpreye:


Bro, the 5% clearly involves the SS. Even if Grandpa hae openly said the opposite, I still would have attacked and lampooned him. The SS even stands to gain more than the SE from any alliance they go into. I'm yet to see any SE person forcing anyone from the SS to join them. If every SS person has the same mind like I do, the gem will have been over since.

And for your advice, please stop deceiving and creating an unnecessary disaffection here. I have NOTHING in common with the children of Uthman Dan Fodio.

Thank you!

We will prefer a nation formed by only south south nations were it will be difficult to have one major tribe ruling over us. For us south south, it is either one Nigeria or we will form our own nation. we don't want a country with Oduduwa republic, BBIAFRA republic or Arewa republic. That will be moving from frying pan to fire.

Speke for yourself.

oduastates:
Boko haram , a crashing economy in spite of record revenues , corruption , insecurity , rising poverty, Nigeria becoming an object of international ridicule and so on and so forth are not reason enough?
The SS voted massively for Jonathan?
You got to be kidding me.
Was there an election in the SS?
Only cross river and edo had anything close to an acceptable election .
Apkabio contested for election in central senatorial district but won in the north
N:B
Jonathan was simply a Dundee figurehead . We know those who messed up his government. Those throwing their toys out of the pram .
The thoughts behind those reasons enumerated in this post are exactly the reason why Jonathan was kicked out ,and the reason why the SE will not smell the presidency anytime soon .

atbu1983:
speak for South East. Leave South South out of it. Buhari got 45% in Edo State. We in South South are not Anti North. it is only d Igbo or SOUTH east that are trying thier best to include us in thier North hatred. leave us out of it.

chuna1985:


Delta, ph, cross river, akwa ibom n bayelsa didn't vote buhari Sir dull@rd.

It was Oshiomole dat rigged 45 percent for buhari

atbu1983:


If you look at the overral result again and check states by states, you will see that Buhari got more vote in South South than south east despite the fact that Jonathan is south south.

There is a difference between the south south and South East position when it comes to BUhari vs Jonathan election.

South South people are not Anti North neither are we Anti-Buhari. We voted Jonathan because he is our brother. it was a natural thing to do. No matter how bad your father is, he is still your father. That was the basis of south south vote. It was not because we hate the North or we hate Buhari.

But for South East, it was purely hatred because of Jealousy and pains of Biafra. South East people hate the North. And also because Jonathan favoured even the south East more than South South durng his administration.

As far as we the south south are concern, there is no difference between the Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. To us, these are three major tribe struggling and fighting for Supiriority. Whenever any of the three is loosing, he shout Marginalization.

During Jonathan govt, the Igbo was gaining and were in control and was happy. The Yoruba were losing and were shouting Marginalization. The hausa/fulani were not happy because they were not fully in control. For the North we can slightly understand because in the 16years of democracy (May 1999 to May 2015) the south ruled 13.3years while the North had just 2.7years

The Igbo don't love us more than the hausa or Yoruba love us. All the three tribe are all struggling for the control of south south oil. None of the three is better than the other as far as we south south are concern

Saying that SE is Anti-north and hate buhari bcus of Civil war is entire your personal view. I strongly believe majority of SS don't harbor such myopic view.

Find below the March 28th 2015 presidential election result in south south and south east. You will see that you are the fool and the liar.
Apart from more vote for Buhari in South south, he also have more percentage vote. with the percentage vote comparison, the issue of voters turnout is removed. We the south south have moved on. Election is in the past. we are now concentrating on a better Nigeria. this clearly shows we have no hatred or anything against Buhari. Please our IGBO neighbour, count us out form ur hatred and bigotry. we wont buy it.

If you are from south south and you think we will be better off with BBIAFRA you must be making a big mistake. I know what you are thinking. I am a petroleum engineer. You are seeing it from the point of view that Niger delta oil will have less people to feed. that is a very myopic way to see it. it is far more than that.

What are you spewing ? The fact is that if ever biafra comes to past, their will be a referendum to decide who joins the new country. I see no SE forcing the SS to join them, but I believe a lot of SS will prefer to join biafra than remain in Nigeria. In biafra we will have only the Ibos to drag with , unlike in Nigeria where we have the yorubas, Hausas , igbos to drag with. The SS in all verification have better option with biafra , than Nigeria.

atbu1983:


we will not Join BIAFRA and we will not remain in Nigeria either. we don't need a referedom. we will go our separate ways. your struggle is not our struggle. your interest is not our interest. we will form our nation. Singapore is one-quarter the size of Bayelsa state

You are the one who is confused. I said nigeria either remain as one or we form our own nation. we will not join Biafra. Nigeria cant break into two. that is not possible. it will break into minimum of five countries. USSR broke into more than twenty(20) countries.

I know Delta will surely take sides with biafra. I don't know about you guys in Edo. Anyway, a referendum will decide. One thing I know is that nobody will force anybody to join biafra. It will be a matter of choice

September 10, 1938
Oloibiri, Bayelsa State

Died
May 9, 1968
Ogu,Okrika Rivers State

Profession
Minority Rights Activism, Soldiering

Major Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro (September 10, 1938 – May 9, 1968), fondly called "Boro", was a celebrated Nigerian nationalist and Nigerian civil war hero. He was one of the pioneers of minority rights activism in Nigeria.[1][2]

In his autobiography, "The Twelve-Day Revolution", Boro wrote about his early life:

"I am reliably informed that I was born at the zero hour of twelve midnight on 10 September 1938, in the oil town of Oloibiri along humid creeks of the Niger Delta. My father was the headmaster of the only mission school there. Before I was old enough to know my surroundings, I was already in a city called Port Harcourt where my father was again the headmaster of another mission school. This was in the early forties. The next environment where I found myself was in my home town, Kaiama. My father had been sent there to head a school yet again."[3]

He was many parts and different things to different people - a university students leader, a teacher, policeman and Nigerian army officer. An undergraduate student of chemistry and student union president at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, he left school to lead an armed protest against the exploitation of oil and gas resources in the Niger Delta areas which benefitted mainly the federal government of Nigeria and the eastern region with capital in enugu and nothing was given to his Ijaw people. He believed that the people of the area deserved a fairer share of proceeds of the oil wealth. He formed the Ijaw Volunteer Force, an armed militia with members consisting mainly of his fellow Ijaw ethnic group. They declared the Niger Delta Republic on February 23, 1966 and gallantly battled the Federal forces for twelve days but were finally routed by the far superior Federal firepower. Boro and his compatriots were jailed for treason. However, the federal regime of General Yakubu Gowon granted him amnesty on the eve of the Nigerian civil war in May 1967. He then enlisted and was commissioned as a major in the Nigerian army. He fought on the side of the Federal Government but was killed under mysterious circumstances in active service in 1968 at Ogu (near Okrika) in Rivers State.

Later Niger Delta activists like the late Ken Saro-Wiwa, who substituted Boro's gun for a pen, and Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, who heads an Ijaw armed insurgency, often referred to him as a major inspiration.
