BY THE WAY, WE WANT TO CREATE IGBO STATE OF LAGOS WITH THOSE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS AND BADAGRI.


ANOTHER AGITATION FOR SEPARATION, OTI BERE.

IT IS BETTER U GIVE THE IGBOS THEIR OWN STATE IN LAGOS.


THAT AREA WILL BE MULT-ETHNIC AND INCLUDE ALL NIGERIANS.


THOSE LOCAL GOVERNMENT YOU MENTION INCLUDES EVERYBODY BUT TO YOU EDO, URHOBO, IJAW ETC ARE ALL IGBO.


EVEN THE ABOKI/MALAM THERE ARE IGBO.


BADAGRY STATE

StOla:


Agreed!

But his grouse is that some produce much oil while some like Imo produce so little, yet have equal authority in the commission.

He wants the big boys to be separated from the small boys, especially when they are already from different political regions.

He is basically saying let the big boys have their league, and let the small boys have theirs separately. He is not interested in a new name that would accommodate all.

SE always saying SE/SS.

SS only know SS.

I hope those who chose to live in their own delusion of an assumed SE/SS togetherness get rehabilitated soon.

You are absolutely correct. And this is the reason our SE brethren on NL are foaming in their mouths and hating on Chief Edwin Clerk.

chiagozien:
Was there anything like South south during the war?

The confiscation of Igbo's Money in the bank was also done by south south

So is no more Awolowo that win the war for Nigeria as yorubas always boost.




Yorubas and changing mouth is like 5&6.




Abeg shift with una hypocrisy.

was Igbo money confiscated?

CodeTemplar:
Clark, though reputed to act clownish, is talking more sense than you here.
Producing oil or crude doesn't make a state Niger Delta by regional grouping. If Bauchi and Gombe starts producing oil tomorrow, they shouldnt need the NDDC tag to get oil derivation funds and shouldn't automatically enjoy a development commission because they haven't experienced the victimization ND has experienced to earn them the Development Commission called NDDC.

What of the North East Development Commission, where are they getting their funding from?

Oil money or tax payers money

First I am not yoruba, I am igbo.
If you can read and google how foods where blocked from coming to Biafra from Cameron and Gabon.
Go and read about Isaac Adaaka Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa.

Oga I don't care if you're a Palestinian.



You are known Yoruba defender here but that's not the point for now.



Tell,who were the leaders of Nigeria then And who introduced food blockage?


Was the blockage done by your Nigeria government or by individuals/towns around East.

Gajagojo:

Anambra and Imo fit the definition according to whom?

Please name one town or village in Anambra or Imo that fits the definition

Just one please

I don't have to prove anything to you. A simple look on Google earth app will show you positions of Anambra and Imo in relation to the Niger Delta as an area. The communities both Anamabra and Imo that are beside the River Niger are all oil producing. Check google for confirmation.

One town or village please
Everything else is noise
There are communities BESIDES the River Niger in Kogi, Kwara, Niger , Kebbi, Sokoto all the way to Guinea
That does not make them part of the Niger Delta
We are not talking about oil producing or not

The issue is the claim about the Geographical location IN THE NIGER DELTA

BoldBrainz:


I thought we all agreed that we've gotten to the point where everyone minds his business and region? Why are you now salivating everywhere in a desperate effort to be an appendage?

Omo...Your hate for Yoruba runs deep in your veins

I read all the comments and all the Igbos here keep attacking edwin clarke straight up for his comments, some even went ahead to attack his beloved Ijaw tribe but u ignored all to respond to a guy who only replied to a dumb post ahead of him


You arent as neutral as u claim...Hypocrisy lies down in your belly

Gajagojo:

No it was shared among Yorubas.

Afonja007:
where is the oil they found in lagos?the oil in ondo is even in ijaw area ,some parts of SW are in northern Nigeria so some parts of SE is in South south so when nigeria disintegrate SW have something thing in common with northerners eg religion SS and SE have something in common too,Edwin Clark should be complaining about oil companies that are drilling oil in SS meanwhile their offices is in lagos state paying tax to lagos government for land use act,

what part of SW is northern Nigeria...I want to know please

Some of u just troll unintelligently

Do you have evidence?

hammerFC:


THEY DO HAVE SOME OIL IN THE FAR EAST SOUTHERN PARTS CLOSE TO DELTA STATE.

IT IS ARGUEABLE, WHETHER THAT PART IS ONDO, EDO OR DELTA.


IT IS ALONG EDO AND DELTA BORDER AREA.

U HAVE SOME IJAWS THERE AND ILLAJE, ,ITSEKIRI. ETC

Those Ilaje and the so-called eastern part are in what state?

They mentioned ondo state, u went ahead to carve out some indivisible "Eastern" part

U guys should rest..speak the truth and let the devil be ashamed

I see that you don't know the meaning of Delta. The three key words are River Niger, Delta that it forms and oil producing communities.

NEDC is a fraud perpetrated by Fulani elites. It should neither be ND oil nor Nigerian tax even if they must get their NEDC.

Sangoamadioha1:
I have never seen more divisive old men like this Edwin Clark and Ayo Adebanjo.
Our healing would start when people like these have a change of mentality.

He said Ondo is not a coastal state! Can we say he is an uninformed man who just loves to be in the news and benefits from the divide-and-rule tactics based on the gullible nature of his people.

Any oil producing state that lies on the lower Niger River or one of its numerous tributaries is qualified to be part of the NDDC. Anambra state is supposed to be added to the list to make it ten. Anambra state is even more qualified to be among the NDDC than Cross River state that produces no oil and is far away from the River Niger or any of its tributaries.

Yujin:

I see that you don't know the meaning of Delta. The three key words are River Niger, Delta that it forms and oil producing communities.

I asked you a simple question

Can you name one village or town in Anambra or Imo state that are in the Niger Delta. Just One please
