I am confused with the way both are used interchangeably. Is there any difference? Can anyone please shed more light on this?

Masturbation:
Rivers State is one of the 36 states of Nigeria. According to census data released in 2006, the state has a population of 5,185,400, making it the sixth-most populous state in the country.[3] Its capital, Port Harcourt is the largest city and is economically significant as the centre of Nigeria's oil industry. Rivers State is bounded on the South by the Atlantic Ocean, to the North by Imo, Abia and Anambra States, to the East by Akwa Ibom State and to the West by Bayelsa and Delta states. It is home to many indigenous ethnic groups: Ikwerre, Ibani, Opobo, Okrika, and Kalabari, Etche, Ogba, Ogoni, Engenni and others .[4]

The inland part of Rivers state consists of tropical rainforest; towards the coast the typical Niger Delta environment features many mangrove swamps.

Rivers state, named after the many rivers that border its territory, was part of the Oil Rivers Protectorate from 1885 till 1893, when it became part of the Niger Coast Protectorate. In 1900 the region was merged with the chartered territories of the Royal Niger Company to form the colony of Southern Nigeria. The state was formed in 1967 with the split of the Eastern Region of Nigeria. Until 1996 the state contained the area which is now in Bayelsa

WHY CAN'T THESE IBOS READ THIS?

safarigirl:
Whenever I read ceertain articles or watch adverts, movies or even doccies, I've noticed that S/South is called the east.

Even in government or commerce you find that Port Harcourt especially is referred to as the Eastern Region so certain companies with branches in PH call it the regional HQ for the East. I was watching an advert on Nigerian tourism and it was said that "Tinapa is located in the state of Cross River, Eastern Nigeria"

I just want to know why S/South and more specifically the States of Rivers, Cross river and Akwa-Ibom are called East in formal parlance and then South South/Niher Delta when revenue sharing is brought up

YOU'RE JUST AN IBO GIRL LOOKING FOR MORE TERRITORIES.. HISTORY CAN NEVA BE REWRITTEN... THESE WERE THE EXACT REASONS WHY IBOS WERE MASSACRED IN KANO IN 1953, 1966 AND 2012.. YOU GUYS ARE TOO DOMINEERING

Those who say that are still living in the past. We have gone past that stage in life. As it is today, I see myself first as a Nigerian. Second, a Rivers and south-south man. South East is a word used during, before Naija civil war and during independence too. As it is today, am a south-south man. Am a Rivers man. Am a Nigerian. South- East are the Igbos.

GOD BLESS YOU..

ARE THE IGBOS PLANNING TO SEIZE SS?

There is no justification for premarital sex.. You can't replace lost virginity! The lady is just confused

The fulanis approaching IGBO land.

Igbo land is there for the taking as everybody don run comot go Lagos.

How will Igbos defend their land from Lagos and Yoruba land.

This one Nigeria is getting really interesting.

NOBODY's land is for the taking. Everybody should be free to live anywhere without fear of behind-enemy-lines attacks on their communities. The Fulanis should be sensitized and made to understand the rule of law, their contribution to nation building and their place in the transformation agenda. No ethnic group has monopoly of violence. We are Nigerians, we are not terrorists

Red Men of Nigeria: Account of a Lengthy Residence Among the Fulani
By J. R. Wilson-Haffenden

Fulani - been killing and taking over territory since 1750

IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY, YOU CAN DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE!!!

[size=28pt] YOUR HEAD IS WELL BALANCED ON YOUR SHOULDERS [/size]! CARRY ON

mulattoclaro:
the host communities should carry arms and always be vigilant. These people have no monopoly of violence. I can't imagine such happening in Edo State where I come from. They detest fulanis and won't mind slaughtering them. These people are animals and kill at random.

FOUR Years back in Edo state, in one village down Ugbowo-Lagos expressway, around Utekon area, fulani herdsmen invaded a village, killed a man and raped his wife then destroyed crops. All this was due to grazing rights, it caused a serious quarrel that even got t the palace, but today herdsmen still roam freely armed with long guns and impunity.
The Ijaws now lay claim to several of your communities down Ekehuan road. All these are just due to failure to act

mulattoclaro:
that's for them. If such a thing happens in my state, I will personally behead any fulani I see. I will order my community to kill them at sight whether guilty or innocent.

YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING, YOU WILL BE TOO SCARED. EVEN I WILL HIDE IN THE SOFT LEATHER SEAT IN MY OFFICE TOO SCARED TO SMILE
Infact you will remain in canada, and only call to inquire about the structural integrity of your ancestral house. Let us cut the head of the snake while we can

David0:
So how come we dont get to know all dis, only on election period?

Good question.. Because the most useless element in the Nigerian polity is the Media. The media choose what they want you to know, and very few of us actively source for news or take time to read those little columns in newspapers. At times these stories come out, but we are just blinded by our desires to see APC vs PDP warfare, and we turn the blind eye.
Journalists and editors in this country have allegiances, but they forget something fundamental..
In the series person of Interest, the head of HR Alonzo Quinn said "Politicians come and go.."

asadike:
no, we can't tamper with other peoples territory. Like I said, we are prepared and waiting

You shouldn't tamper, you should raise awareness. But in this case, you are setting boundaries.

In the old Benin empire, when the fulanis were coming southwards, the binis went to block them at Idah which is very far from present day benin. Probably if that campaign was not launched we could have had southern fulanis too

mulattoclaro:
I blame the middle belt for most of the problems they are having. Are the people so weak as to allow the fulanis attack them every time? If the Govt has failed to tackle the issue can't they fight back? Something like this cannot happen in the state I come from. They'll all be slaughtered like chickens overnight.

Like the man in the original post says, these are trained killers. They are armed with rifles(sometimes automatic). If an army of insurgents enters any of our villages with assault rifles and real intent to do harm, nothing can stop them.

These fulanis establish 'first contact" usually pretending to come as traders or herders. THese first guys pick intel, they could even be real herders. Then they move out, after sometime, this is when the strategy is formed. When they return, they would come in larger number and continue their business. In the process of coexisting, they would start trouble, usually with an agent provocateur who may even be beaten or killed depending on his offence, usually rape, destruction of crops etc. In the crises i witnessed, he rape the village head's wife. After he has been beaten or the issue resolved, Fulani herdsmen appear at midnight or dawn and start killing people and destroying properties. Most villagers are forced to flee. Some may return, but as second-class citizens.. That is how to capture a village Fulani-style

And more retards keep blaming buhari and Jonathan

David0:
Nonsense.....Convince me some more.

Something like dis happened na for Nairaland we come hear am.

I guess d target audience r Internet surfers.

This is not nonsense, I've witnessed a Fulani invasion, it's not something you would want to see.
The targeted communities are often taken down in well coordinated operations that may last up to a year

asadike:
See as they pursue a whole eze comot for him dormot. I see. Gradually aproaching igbo land? My people will welcome u gladly. Try any rubbish, na dat time una go know say dat una weapon, na we dey produce d original. Nonsense.

IF you wait for them to get to your land before pushing them, you may succeed then they will become your neighbours and gradually corrupt your bloodlines then push you out, or you may fail and your entire tribe will be annihilated. YOU CHOOSE

This is a serious issue that should not be taken lightly. The fulanis have continued their Jihad southwards and are gradually pushing closer. They are trying to seize the entire middlebelt, so that in a case when the country divides their land mass would be twice the size of the south. And while all this is going on the security agencies are mostly silent about it, because the police are not equipped enough to tackle them , and they are armed by top northern generals who have a hiddden plot to push the north further. These are the real Boko Haram, these are the real tribal warlords, Shekau and his people are just political thugs.
We must not be silent, we must raise awareness on the Fulani issue and find out their sponsors, armorers and facilitators

P.S.
Iam greatly vexed when I see posts about Buhari or Goodluck being the cause, this is totally beyond either men. This is beyond stupid four year election and regimes.. When the Fulanis pushed into Kaduna and Jos, we all thought it was simply land issues or religious crises, today these Funanis are claiming rights in these states where they have no right. This is the real plot to islamize Nigeria not the rubbish that Kayode and Tinubu rant about daily

This topic is severely tribal.. How can you claim the Igbos were at the forefront while Ogunde worked behind the scenes? Do you even know what Nigerian drama is all about? This is what we see when the op writes on something he has no idea about
