[b]During the days of regionalism in Nigeria, the southwest had cocoa & sea port, the North was doing great with groundnut pyramid and agriculture while the Southeast had nothing but little deposits of coal in Enugu which has since gone extinct. In this modern Era, if the country were to be divided, Lagos alone is enough to carry the southwest coupled with cocoa and gold deposits in Osun and other SW states. The north has livestock and agriculture to sustain their economy. The south south has huge deposits of oil and gas to sustain themselves while nothing can be said of the southeast cos presently the region is contributing virtually nothing to the federal purse. The point here is the Igbos are the one's benefitting the most in our united Nigeria due to their limited natural resources. They are the most travelled tribe in the country and well accepted and shown love by every Nigerian. They should be glad other regions are covering their resource deficiency under the umbrella of Nigeria. Biafra is not what the igbos need but to look inward and correct their political miscaculations. The igbos dont have the resources to stand alone as a country and that is why they mostly merge the SS to their biafran dream so they can dominate and control their oil as the majority. We would not want a refugee crisis to occur within our borders due to hunger and unnecessary power tussle. It is better we remain united as a family in one Nigeria.

God bless Nigeria

May God punish anyone and their family who will write on this page that he is from the Niger Delta while he is not.

Their is South south. Ojukwu in his greed to steal the SS oil merged them into his biafra map calling them Eastern region. The east has only 5 states. Ijaw and other ethnic groups in the Nigerdelta are not igbos even tho some igbos live there.

Ignorance is really a disease.
In this day and age, one retarded fellow is talking about natural resource. Kindly ask yourself, what good has natural resource contributed to the poor masses in Nigeria and Africa?
Except for the political class who have direct access to the wealth derived from natural resources, how has the average denizens benefited from it?

In this case, you talk about oil in the Niger Delta region. Are you too stewpid or too blind to realize how the poor farmers and fishermen in that region have become destitutes due to oil spillage and environmental degradation?
Has your crude oil bettered their lives?
Has it given them better healthcare facilities?
Has it helped reduce maternal mortality and increase life expectancy?
Has it helped bring your people well tarred roads and portable drinking water across communities in the Niger Delta?

If you are an educated youth, with access to the internet and you can follow developments in the western world, yet make this sort of arguement, you should apologize to your parents who wasted scarce resources to give you an education. You have nothing to offer.

Europe is developed today, and yet they have very little to absolutely no resources compared with Africa and Nigeria. See how China has rose to conquer the world today? Is it because they have so much crude oil or gold or diamonds?
Of course not. Development today is driven by HUMAN CAPITAL. This refers to the ideas and potentials enlightened people can come up with that would bring about massive and positive changes.

Mark Zuckerberg and the massive wealth and employment he has created is a product of human capital development.
UAE has become a major player in the Middle East. They diversified from oil, and focused on other areas of development. Their greatest asset today is the quality of human capital they are able to attract from across the world. That dusty desert of the past has become one of the world's leading tourist destinations today. Your political leaders go their to lavish your oil money and come back home to have you lick their ass to boot!

Human capital made the USA a world power, not their natural resource.
If after reading this, and you still chose to swim in your crude oil, then your hopelessness is beyond redemption. I want you to remember that Nigeria was a great country until crude oil was discovered. Crude oil made us to stop using our brain, which was our greatest assest. And that greatness was derived from human capital....the humans who used their expertise to develop agriculture and trade.

After the devastation from the civil war of 1967 to 1970, the entire Igbo land was left in ruins. Now look at the little developmental strides they have been able to achieve, without government intervention. Onitsha, Enugu, Owerri, Awka, Aba and so on, can stand proud when you compare them with other major cities and state capitals. Did these Igbo states get larger allocations from crude oil after the war? In fact, all the millionaires in Igbo land were reduced to paupers after the federal government confiscated their assets and handed them £20 each. With their bare hands and their brains, they built themselves up. THATS WHAT HUMAN CAPITAL DOES. IT MAKES YOU DEVELOP YOURSELF AND YOUR ENVIRONMENT, RATHER THAN BEING A BURDEN TO YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

Lack of human capital development has depleted the north, and now, they are looking to converting the south to grazing reserves for their cows. It's the same resourceful human capital that helped Igbos rose from the ashes after the civil war decimated them. And here you are, thinking that a proud and self recognized Igbo nation needs crude oil to survive! You get sense at all?

Your problem isn't what Biafra wants or doesn't want. Your problem is absolute ignorance.
Wake up and smell the coffee. Your software hasn't been updated since the 80s. Perhaps you hope to be a future leader of your people someday. Focus on crude oil just like your past leaders did, because you have shown you got nothing else to work with.

It is a well known open secret that the East lacks natural resources and Biafra is dead without the South South.

The South East as a region is barren and eroded, and is plagued with several evil societal vices which makes a SE only Biafra a nightmare, and that's why they have to trick the SS into joining them at all costs.

No my Dear. First thing first, join other States, SS inclusive, to pressurize the Legislature to find a common denominator to GRANT FULL AUTONOMY TO STATE GOVERNORS. They are Governors, heads of Governments, and if you endevour to understand futher, these Governors have absolute Powers on their Governments. After that, we, I mean, Nigerians, will find mergers, bi-latteral and multi-latteral much easier and healthier for Nigeria and her neighbours.

No doubt, oil is a huge resource. But that is about to become yesterday's news. So are you, if you do nothing but dream and self service with nothing but the thought of crude oil.
You have oil in much abundance, yet you are very poor for it. You are swimming in oil, yet you have no fuel. How backward can you be? Do you know that countries without your crude oil are making more money from it than you do?
They buy your crude oil, refine it, then sell it back to you at huge profit margins. They use their brain, and add value to the product you sold to them, then sell it back to you at higher profits. That's why you are still in the dirt today. A typical black man.

We are still where we are today because we depended on natural resource, rather than human capital. Have you asked yourself how come Europe without any resource, is much more developed than Africa with all it's resources?

You mentioned that Lagos alone is enough to carry the southwest.

Beautiful!
You are beginning to use your brain. Now, ask yourself, what makes Lagos tick? What makes Lagos state produce the highest IGR in Nigeria?
Is it because it has natural resource? Is it because of it's crude oil, gold, diamond or uranium? Of course not! It's because of the human capital. The people who drive it's economy and business enterprises.

Can you see how wisdom is beckoning to you, yet you chose to wallow in the dark? Why isn't Rivers and Bayelsa state richer than Lagos with all their crude oil?

Think about it. That is, if you are able to perform the simple task of thinking. Don't let the "our oyel" mentality keep you in the stone age. Your oil is not, and can never be, your saviour.

I agree with the OP that Eastern region palm oil that merchants from Liverpool and Bristol came to export from South East before 1970s actually belonged to the fulanis. The Igbos stool the palm nuts and put it in their ground.

I know that East also wants the Idomas in Biafra because we yorubas know that Idoma have the highest Crude oil in the whole wide world.

i am not obsessed with the Igbos but i want them to be grateful and appreciate the spirit of oneness installed in us by Lord Luggard. Why would the igbos wanna pull out when they have benefitted the most in this union? They are the most travelled doing business in every part of the nation. Yet they scream marginalization after making political miscalculations. Gej's defeat is the reason they want biafra as if GEJ give a rat ass about them. They have no resources to stand alone so we wont let them go angry
