pazienza:
Well, there was a clear design by mammar Nasir boundary commission in 1976 to strike the then East Central state of any access to water bodies leading directly to sea and of any territories with crude oil in them.
That's how Obigbo,Ogba, Ahoada, Ikwerre, Ndoni, all ended up in Rivers state.

Problem is that those Igboid groups in Rivers state are now even more Igbo hating than other Nigerians.

So OP I would say you should stop worrying about spilled milk and move on. Look on the bright side, Imo and Anambra sit on humongous natural gas fields, yet to be tapped,and we know that natural gas and not crude oil, is the future. We have the best of Igbo clans in SE and with them, we can still be world beaters if we look inwards and work on ourselves.
There are native German speaking clans in Italy, Austria, Lichtenstein, Switzerland, Poland, etc.
Yet the Germans in Germany don't need them to be great, they only needed to heal the Unity between East and West Germany to become great again.

Having said that, I think we should definitely be interested in bringing the Igbos in Benue back, since those ones still long for our unity, and we should work more to obliterate the crack in Igbo unity created by state divisions.
We should stop talking down on Igbo clans perceived to be lacking in development in SE, we should be our brothers keepers, we should all see all parts of SE as our hometown and all fellow SEners as brothers and sisters. No more denigration and insults. Let's pull funds together and get the SE development plan done and dusted.

Look at the bolded and ask yourself when was Rivers State created
