Then when crude oil finishes or deplete or stop selling as a black gold it used to be(because of clean energy), then the South South states will join them.

If only the states of the Niger delta know this, they will fight for their right of controlling the resources in their domain 100%.

But guess what they can't and they won't angry

probably because they are in the northern part of their respective nations.

Ekiti is in the North eastern part of the Yoruba nation.
Ebonyi is also at the north eastern part of Igbo nation
Ebonyi is the eastern part of the east while Enugu is the northern part
