We Niger Delta : The Truth by chaloner(m): 9:11pm On Jun 02, 2017
Negative outburst from few misguided and myopic Niger Delta youths on facebook does not and cannot portray the mindset, yearning and aspirations of the entire Niger Delta people.
I am a Niger Deltan and I can tell you my people stand with Biafra anyday, anytime. Yes, the Igbos have their own wahala, but it will be far easier to negotiate my existence in Biafra than in Nigeria.
To those my people who are screaming blue murder that they weren't consulted or their opinion sought before the Biafran map was drawn (that is, if such a map exists). Please I have few questions for you..
1. Did Frederick Lugard consult or negotiate with your forefathers before trapping them into the entity called Nigeria?
2. Were your communities consulted or your opinions sought before the map of Nigeria was drawn?
3. Were your fathers consulted before the oil wells in your communities were distributed among Emirs and military officers from other side of River Niger?
4. Were you consulted before your lands, creeks, rivers and ecosystem was raped, polluted, rendered barren and abandoned by IOCs in connivance with the Nigerian Government?
5. Were you consulted before being politically, economically and infrastructural
ly marginalised and relegated by Nigerian government and her constitution?
6. Were you consulted before headquarters of IOCs operating in your communities were sited in Lagos and Abuja?
7. Were you consulted before quota system was entrenched in Nigeria?
8. Were you consulted before your uncle Ken Saro Wiwa was framed, jailed and executed by Nigerian government for daring to speak out for his people?
9. Were you consulted before your son Isaac Adaka Boro was charged and jailed for treason and even killed?
10. Now, are your opinions sought before OPL and OML licenses are issued to individuals and organisations to further exploit and degrade your communities? I can go on and on with these questions.
I am an Akwa Ibomite and I stand tall to say my people are ready to part with Biafra anyday, anytime. And to my myopic brothers on facebook, please stop exhibiting your absolute lack of imagination, discernment and long-range perspective in thinking or planning.
We need to build alliances not make enemies. I stand with IPOB and selfless mazi #Nnamdikanu.
Shalom. " ~Favour Mkkybaby Udoma

Abeg lets forget all their stories jare. I even reminded some folks about the creation of Delta state. We were all in Benin. Many didn't buy the delta State idea. We have a house in Benin, some of our extended family didn't leave Edo state for Delta. We moved to take up new opportunities. It helped we the children then to learn our local language. Delta state became a state of its own and is moving forward irrespective of those who didn't like the idea.

Those referencing upu are really funny. So if upu changes position tomorrow, that will be correct position. We should learn to independently evaluate and Interrogate things. By now we should all know that all these groups are all for politics irrespective of the region they represent.

What else does the Niger Delta have to lose by joining the Igbo and our quest for freedom?

Nigeria has given you a raw deal and even the smallest of request for your region is met with derision.
