Why did Nigeria create and emphasise on the existence of a SOUTH SOUTH region without WEST WEST, NORTH NORTH and EAST EAST regions?

why do nigeria gov. create north central?

You don't know what is important to you.

You all smell of hypocrisy. You are crying of been forced in a country you don't want to be part of, while you are doing the same thing (trying to force Biafra down our throats).
Unless you concentrate on your 5 States, you will never achieve Biafra. Biafra will always be a dream that will never come to reality.

Oga show is the southern state AG and upn have been winning

What’s all this nonsense?

Stay out my mention if you don’t have nothing

Because Yoruba narratives different from Nigeria history..

Let’s see states Awolowo won in old eastern Nigeria and show us how he introduced tribalism

I no get time..

tishbite41:
Geographically speaking, there is nothing like South-South.
The British gave the Fulanis that fallacious template to deceive and hoodwink the tribes of the Lower Niger.

How can a Cross-riverian think he's more River Niger or Niger-Delta than an Onitsha man?!
How can Ahaba be Niger-Delta and Onitsha be SE?!

Simply divide-and-rule tactics.
It is sad that we the so-called educated Southern Christians fell for this scam.

how does the Cardinal point or SS prevent the South East from fighting for their Biafra with their 5 States?

Owologbo:

STFU

These tribes coexisted harmoniously before your one nijeriya.

Who told you that we have the Igbos in only 5 states?!

Joel3:
there is nothing like south South in geography.

It's South or South East or South West. Even if you look at the nigeria map. What we know as south South and south east are one. It's simple South. And nothing east there. Even akwa ibom that is regarded and south South is behind the allaged south east.

The creation of regoins and states in the country is flawed. What do you expect when the north created it all.

Obasanjo and Ekwueme created South South

This is a pure distortion of history why you igbo like masturbating on historical events mr man this question is bigger than you ...Even Nnamdi Azikiwe would be turning in his tomb because he caused the whole thing. And mind you south south has never vote along eastern people until just recent time.

Awolowo party has always won south south since amalgamation however because of political bitterness that zik has against Awolowo that is why he suggested that midwest should be carved out from southwest.

man shut up.
with this your drivel analysis

dvdwed:
This is why your Biafra cannot be attained. Easterners don't even have the balls to do shit alone, they want to drag South South, Igalas ,Ore along.

Yeyerity.

yes..this is exactly why.
due to posts by anonymous person on nairaland
you nailed it sir. great conclusions

And who told you I'm one of those clamouring for one nigeria?
You never ready to achieve Biafra; you will let go of other states when you are ready.

WoundedLamb:
Lol... bro, there's no such cardinal direction. The area between Southwest and South points (and also Southeast and South points) is called the Southsouth.

Updated with image.

why re you confusing him again, he said why south south, and you re bringing example with south south east, and south south west.

Guynexttdoor:

South south east and South south west are subgroups under south south.

ezenwajosh:
there's no south south

What you have is south south east or south south west....so those in Niger delta as you call it....are they south south east or south south west, or mixture of carved out of the two?

South South East and South South West are both South South. You can further divide it into South South East and South South West if is warranted by the shape of the map or cultural differences.

Justcash:

This is one of their divide and rule tactics.

tishbite41:

Your so-called image says otherwise.

Show me the South-South cardinal direction/point there.

There is North North. (North North West and North North East) and South South (South South West and South South East). The cardinal subdivisions adopted by any area is determined by both the shape of the map and the socio-cultural need. See my detailed explains below.

Akwamkpuruamu:


The area between the WSW and the WNW is the west west. You can't be smart by half. Besides there's no cardinal point like SS

@bolded: No, it's not (please, ask Google or see the images I shared). There is South South which is either South South West or South South East.

You cannot have East East or West West cause North and South are the first major divisions. They are then subdivided into East and West. Therefore, they take precedence over the later. This means that whenever the division goes beyond the four cardinal points, you'd start seeing things like SouthWest/SouthEast, and Northwest and Northeast. And if you divide this any further, the two major points (North and South) will repeat themselves to accommodate the break down of the major subdivisions thus South South East and South South West (both are collectively South South).

The question is not why is there no East East/West West (that would be ridiculous). The question is, why did Nigeria adopt South South but no North North (or some other feasible cardinal directions). While I can't pretend to know the answer, I believe which of these points adopted by any map depends on the shape of the map and the socio-cultural need for such division. This might explain why Nigeria would have the South South region without points like North North.

NB: Why do you guys think every chat or argument must be accompanied by insults and name calling?

Stop wasting your time. This is not about Geography to them; it is tribal. Nigerians will gladly tell you white is black just to defend their tribes.

Why don't you ask why there was Midwest in the sixties ?when there is no Mideast, midsouth,and midnorth

Yoruba humans go just carry propaganda for head like day na only dem Dey Nigeria

Very careless deceit

Imagine this typical lie from a Yoruba man

Tell us town Awolowo won in the south

FIRST MAJOR DIVISIONS

When by whom?

There is no factuality or logic to this claim

Was this something that was written on the Tablets of stone that Moses Brought down from Mount Sinai

Some people drive on the R and others on the L

It is just CONVENTION nothing more.

There is no law that says a clock cannot move from R to L

We write from L to R some do the opposite

And ones he’s upn won

Your guy said he’s been wining

So tell us Yoruba narratives..

Will ignore if you have nothing

Ambrose Alli of the old Bendel State. Besides, South South was never a old Eastern region. They were separated from the West and formed Mid-west. This move was Political to cut awolowo Political influence. Dust your history book.


Infact, he had a Governor in kaduna state who was impeached by NPN dominated house of assembly. The first impeachment of such in Nigeria Political history.
