UPDATE: S’east, S’south Meeting In Owerri by Kingspin(m): 2:03pm On Apr 19, 2017
OWERRI—A chieftain of Ijaw Peoples Assembly and a human rights activist, Miss Annkio Briggs, has expressed worry over what she termed “the induced differences between the South East and South South geo-political zones of the country”.

Briggs, made her feelings known yesterday, during the first South East/South South Conference in Owerri. “Our traducers not only balkanized the former Eastern Region, but also injected false and jaundiced propaganda that has effectively left us where are today”, Miss Briggs said. While saying that she is a very proud Ijaw woman, Miss Briggs however insisted that nobody should coerce her into being a better Nigerian without necessarily being a patriotic Ijaw woman.

“There is a lot of misinformation in the land. We must be determined to save ourselves from the grip of those who hate us. There must be a time we must sit down and work out a way to drive this unification project”, Briggs pleaded. She recalled with grief that the two zones were making huge sacrifices to keep Nigeria afloat, pointing out that all the federal allocations to the states and local government areas are skewed in favour of the North.

On the issue of grazing land for herdsmen, Miss Briggs said it was the most senseless thing for any state to do. Speaking also, an elder statesman, Dr. Uma Eleazu, reasoned that “we have several groups pulling us in different directions, adding that “what we need is self determination as distinct from sovereignty”.

In his own presentation, one of the conveners of the conference, Chief Aloysius Osuji, lamented that the South East/South South zones are the worst hit in the present federal system. “Why are the Port Harcourt, Warri and Calabar ports not functioning? Why should our traders be forced to use only the Lagos ports? The Federal Government should please give us the answer”, Osuji said.

Southern unity is the way forward. With a clearly defined goal and steps in actualizing them, even development will surely envelop the region. A step in the right direction.

Glad theirs been an update. The other thread devolved in tribal nonsense.

“Why are the Port Harcourt, Warri and Calabar ports not functioning? Why should our traders be forced to use only the Lagos ports? The Federal Government should please give us the answer”, Osuji said.

This question is brought too often. Im sure theirs a scholary journal on this. If I can find some I'd love to put this issue to bed. I'm thinking it's simply because eastern ports aren't as good let's be honest. They have small depths and market smaller.

The Nigerian government currently wants more deep seaports that's why the are putting funds for Lagos and Akwa Ibom to build theirs. If everything goes as planned country will have 4 deep seaports.


Look at port details and compare.

God bless you. I am not even interested in anything SE/SS. Every geopolitical zone should be on their own biko,
enough of this "our oil" noise.
Sam mbakwe build imo airport without one kobo from FG,
South east cities were bombed down during the war, today they are standing, we are rebuilding them.
E.g Enugu, Awka, Onitsha,Owerri etc
We can stand on our own.
I love my enemies to come as enemies than for them to come pretending as friends.

You are taking nairaland too serious.
Most of these ''we are south-south'' folks on nairaland are afonjas. That is their way.
They claim they are politically advanced because they build alliances, but when igbos do, they call it attache. They are snakes not worth taking serious.
The moronic anti- igbo south-southerner on the other hand on this forum have very little say in anything. They are absolutely irrelevant to the course of nature. Their resources and revenues is being carted away to lagos and the north and there is nothing they can do. That is how impotent they are. They can't even insure a Jonathan presidency which would have suffered a worse humiliation if not for igbo support.
The few ones that matter are building the alliance that matter for their own interests which happens to be in the interest of the SS.

Okonjo iweala is from Delta state and an abian by marriage. She represented abia state under Jonathan administration.
She has more say in the niger-delta than all the ''we are south-south'' crew both online and offline.

We Igbo people should always look out for our own interest in any agreement made with any region and to do so we have to logical and un emotional. The issue of South-south/south-east unity is not same as desiring a Biafran state. There are many issues which are in our both interests we can pursue and it must not be about Biafran nationhood. For instance, the Ibaka/Calabar seaport which is going to benefit we the Igbo greatly. Also, 2019 is coming and the South-South is likely going to be the beautiful bride. We can seal an alliance with them which will see our region commanding great political power which we shall use to put our person in power or at least extract great concessions from a desirable candidate. We should be wary of areas in which the south-south might want us to delve into which might no be in our interest, but we should also try to seek alliances in areas in which we all benefit.
South-east/south-south unity must not be about Biafra!
