Are you saying cross river states indigenes can not talk about Niger delta because Cross river dont have a single barrel of oil today?

you are simply making it clear your shout for biafra is to steal south south oil.

Whether a state has large oil, small oil or no oil does not mean the state is no longer part of south south.

atbu1983:


i want the same thing for edo state no matter how small edo oil production is, i want resource control. are you ok now?

Note: resource control is not just about crude oil. With resource control , kogi state and cross river states will be paid for thier limestone that dangote is using to make cement. etc

Ugomba:
why not say "we edo"? And stop making noise!
By the way, I want a federalism where Delta state will control its resources 100% and pay a royalty to the FG..

I am a Nigeian. That means i have the right to talk about Nigeria.
I am from south south Niger Delta , that means i have the right to talk about south south niger delta.
I am from edo state. That means i have the right to talk about edo state.

You cannot limit my rights.

This is my last response to you.
Thanks.

South South is not a monoethnic geopolitical zone, As a Deltan, I can't speak for an Akwa Ibom man or Cross River man But I can speak for my Anioma people.. Next time use "we edos" instead of making Noise here and there with your boring long posts.

TonyeBarcanista:
After the announcement of the result of March 28 Presidential election, I recall vividly how some of us brought about the idea of a collective unity of interest and purpose between the South-South and South East geopolitical zones within the Nigeria State. I remember calling for a restructured Nigeria that will promote the interests of all citizens irrespective of ethnic group. I also remember saying that in absence of that, a referendum be held among citizens to determine whether the people of the South South and South East prefer the present Nigeria structure that favours no one over a separate sovereign State, the Lower Niger Congress/Federation that will favor citizens of the region, and also define the right, interest and terms that is acceptable to all ethnic nationalities that make up the 'federation'. I remember maintaining that this struggle should not be seen as confrontation with other groups and regions but must be confined in the most legitimate manner. It should be one that promote the legitimate interest of the SSSE and not one that set the SS/SE against other regions. This remains my position!

Let me state that the struggle for a better Nigeria that promotes good governance, equity and fairness irrespective of ethnic, religious and political affiliation remains my primary objective. The LNF is meant to be an alternative where the hope for restructured Nigeria diminishes. Though some of my brothers either prefer a united Niger Delta Republic or an exclusive indivisible Nigeria. That however, will be determined by a referendum should there be any. I, shall however align myself with the position of my people.

The IPOB Struggle Not Our Interest
The Mr Kanu-led IPOB struggle for an independent Biafra is not in conforminity with legitimate struggle for TWO basic reasons:

1. It promotes hate and violence against the State, other ethnic groups and also against members of Igbo ethnic nationality that does not share the Biafran ideology as preached by Kanu and his IPOB crew. Violence was never part of the UN charter on self-determination

2. The ethnic Nationalities in the Niger-Delta are yet to enter into any agreement with anybody as regard the composition, structure or otherwise of the IPOB proposed country. We are already facing a challenge in Nigeria where our forebearers in their wisdom failed to define terms of our unity as a country. In fact, we are working on correcting these anomalies legitimately.

In addition to the above, I find it disrespectful and insulting on the sensibilities of the Ijaws(Okrikans) and the Ikwerres over claim by some IPOB promoters that Portharcourt belongs to the Igbos and they will "reclaim" it. Unfortunately, no promoter of the IPOB struggle has stated otherwise. For the record, the status of Portharcourt as the exclusive ownership of the Okrikans(PH South) and the Ikwerres is non-negotiable. Specifically, not a single inch of Okrika and other Ijaw land, whether in PH or anywhere else will be surrendered to anyone under any guise.

I recognise and respect the right of everyone to self-determination but I have to state that the Kanu-led IPOB ideology is not what my people desire. I also respect the right of our Igbo brothers to their own interest but I disagree with call for violence as propagated by members of IPOB.


I remain committed to the interest of the Ijaw nation, the Niger-Delta region and also that of every good citizens of the Nigeria State whether Igbo, Yoruba, Berom, Fulani, Igala, Idoma etc.


May God Lead Us Right and Bless Nigeria

Enahi:


This is what I believe in, you have hit the nail on the head. God bless you.
I think the South South needs to come together and speak with one voice.
The igbos need people to tell them the truth, enough is enough.

Nonsense hypocrites, they don't believe in Nigeria but believes in the old Eastern region that was created by Nigerians.
Idiotic porcupines.

Kingyellew:
Stupid submission, an ingnoramus claiming wise. South south need south east more than south east need south south. Let me tell you; south east need SS just to have that numerical strength that is needed to break away from the British made empire called Nigeria. Not because of hydrocarbon, the whole of south east state is saturated with crude. Without SE, SS is doomed forever. Hausa Fulani has been playing these prank just to detach you from lgbos so that south south would be in perpetual slavery forever. But almighty God can never... The labours of Ojukwu and Philip Effong must be substantiated by the progeny in Jesus name

atbu1983:


Dont mind them. they think they can deceive we the south south to slaughter house.
They want to remove us from history and convert all of us to Igbo.

Enahi:


They are selfish and self centered, they think they are smart.
Biafrans are not smart at all, they lack common sense and they keep displaying it here on Nairaland.

atbu1983:


so what!! what is ur pain? i can speak for anything i choose to speak on. if you cant stomach it, you can jump into river niger!!!

hensben:
So is itsekiri, Ijaw, where Amaechi is from. United of Niger delta will be fine because nothing like majority, every tribe are almost equal in population.

Op nice one

Akoko EDO ppl killing themselves for nothing..... EDO have been smart yet it seems they are floating now, no Niger Delta want them and yorubas are also confused whether to accept them or not after using and dumping them

atbu1983:


Stop spreading lies.

Biafra soldiers were completely rejected in Most part of today edo and delta state. In Warri women were killing biafra soldiers by poison.

kaycid77:


Yes because they dont want Islamic extremist to infest their country...and I am with them on this.

modath:



I agree with your opinion but i will never pray for a breakup of this country cos of the Tivs, Idomas, Biroms, Gwaris, Jukuns, Eggons,Bades, in short the ethnic minorities in northern Nigeria who the confluence have made either willingly or "unwillingly" part of the North..

If Nigeria does break up today, Yorubas are up & running, the tribe will not only be just fine, the tribe will thrive beautifully but in all our selfishness as majority tribes we dont spare any thought for folks who will become nothing better than SLAVES...

If it's God's will , it will happen, if not no amount of post political loss angst & bitterness will effect that..


God bless Fed Republic of Nigeria...

i agree with Barcanista 100%. He is from rivers state while i am from edo state.

atbu1983:


If you are tired of being south east as an Aba man, you can ask the federal govt to add aba to rivers state and removed it from Abia state.

Ugomba:
your noise on Crude oil issues is funny!

ArodeTsolaye:


That's the contradiction that makes people think you yorubas are demented. We agree with you that your oodua will best in west africa and we know you don't love any tribe more than yourself. Now the big question is WHY DO YOU WANT TO DIE BEING NIGERIAN WHEN YOU ACHIEVE YOUR FULL POTENTIAL AS AN INDEPENDENT OODUA? ARE WE SIAMESE TWINS? DO WE EVEN KNOW EACH OTHER PRE-Nigeria?

Enahi:


I am not from Akoko Edo, so I don't know why you are quoting me.

Its even gonna be hard for u to know exactly what part of Edo State I am from. Everything abt me that might give u a clue on Nairaland is hidden.

kaycid77:


MUMU this is Niger Delta states

now tell me how you are more "South South" than IMO and ABIA, Tell me how Cross River is More SS than IMO and Abia..... we the lower Niger delta want to correct this divide and Rule game yorubas and Hausas have played on us....you have more ethnics in the north than the Ss and SE but they all called themselves Hausas just to achieve their aim of slaving you idiots

You want resource countrol yet its SE that have help ppl got the little 13% you have now, they even try to take it to 17% you ppl who claim to be SS said its 50% or nothing , now more than 10 yrs after you idiots have not grown enough balls to speak about it, yet you are here talking balderdash.

cheruv:

On the reverse, we'd be petitioning the FG to detach all Igbo territories in the SS and add them to the SE.
Isn't that a better idea to Biafra
