For once EzeUche did something useful by posting this map



I kind of like the map and will welcome the replacement of states with regions as depicted on the map, as long as the regions can have their own constitution, police force, 100% resource control within the sovereign Great Nigeria.

An important caveat would be to rename the Bight of biafra. Biafra is basically non existent and the bight should be named Bight of Calabar or even Bight of Awolowo, in honour of the sage.

You do realize the Bight of Biafra was where the name of Biafra came from Christ the Nigerian education system has gone to hell in a hand basket

OP, please remove Warri and anything west of that from the "South-East". It is very insulting to the Itsekiri people and indeed, Deltans!

We have more in common with the Yorubas and Edos than Igbos, then why place Warri in the SE Its annoying! To avoid a tribal war, just make the necessary adjustments.

The bright of Baifra, also known as the Bright of bonny was named by the Europeans during their imperial exposition. the same way the benin republic was named after the Bright of benin, Biafra was named after the bright of biafra. The Bright was named in the 1800s by the british, waaaay before the country biafra was formed.

@jason123

When it comes to Delta state, apart from my Igbo brothers from Anioma, I only consider the opinions of the Beaf's from there.
I even think that kpogede will not mind his people joining the rest of us in SE/SS/Benue axis to form Biafra or any other nation.
You Mr jason123, are not what you say you are. Ever wonder why there are no other "itsekiri" here with your die hard pro Yoruba opinions.
Methinks you are a Yoruba masquerade.

Why are you traumatized by the name "Biafra"?
Is it because you owe that country millions of lives that you desperately want to change the name hurriedly to something else ko? olodo.
There are more viable ways of paying for the blood of innocent Biafrans you and yours shed unnecessarily in your futile attempt to save a bad idea.
All you need to do is expiate (as you are partly currently doing with your boko haram wahala), and God will move on.
Changing names don't change hard facts on the ground.

BTW I don't mind beginning the process by first experimenting with the regions and their constitutions, state police and the rest under one Nigeria for sometime.
That is what we should have done for the past 44 years, instead of Gowon and the rest of your die hard One Nigerianists trying desperately keep Nigeria one by introducing the evil seeds of state creation.
All that is too late now. The states would likely stay as they are, as some form of administrative units (or even states). I welcome the regions as new federating units.

Onlylies:
You need to gather sense! You want to know Kpogede's position?

Blackpikin:
Shut up!

Again, Ndu_chuks, it is an insult to draw geographical maps without consulting the people. Warri is not going to any SE, chikena! No amount of insults or intimidation can change that!

Gos Jason will you shut up, Christ its a fake map. Nigeria is not splitting because everyone has settled themselves with the status quo wake me when you guys get on Bosnia level

jason123

I have studied kpogede77 and I can tell you that he is not an avowed anti-igbo (die hard Oduduwa) like you. He actually admires Biafra a lot and has severally advocated for Biafra to be supported.

In that post you referenced, this is what he said about Biafra's status in Oduduwa:

Biafra Rep will have no need for a visa to enter Oduduwa Rep. Biafra citizen will have all the right that Oduduwa citizen has except voting right.

I can assure you that when the time comes, we will make [b]kpogede77 [/b]and his like an offer they cannot refuse.

jason123: Again, Ndu_chuks, it is an insult to draw geographical maps without consulting the people. Warri is not going to any SE, chikena! No amount of insults or intimidation can change that!

Apologies to you. I should have looked at the map more closely and the fact that it was presented by EzeUche, of all people, should have raised an alarm. One of the main reasons they insisted on the civil war was because they wanted to take all of current ND area and old midwest with them. Now they want to include the middle belt. I dey laugh o.

@Eze, can't you just let go of your senseless ego for once and declare without strings that you agree with my idea? BTW the Ojukwu type beard you've been nursing for the past few weeks does not add to your intelligence, olodo.

@Onlytruth:

Anti-Igbo? How? Cause I am against the inclusion of my people in Biafra part 2?? While Edos and Yorubas MIGHT be together? Does that even makes sense to you? My ancestors were Ijebus, Igalas etc and the first king of the Itsekiris was a Edo man. So, Eze (I belive kings should be wise), do you actually believe that such a map drawn above will actualise?? Itsekiris in Biafra? NO WAY!

I got nothing against Biafra, what I am against is the inclusion of territories (such as what the OP did) without, atleast for the sake of courtsey, a minimal level of negotiation with the people.

Dude, Biafra can form and take whatever shape it wants to but don't include territories especially a state like Delta to Biafra. It will be resisted, trust me! Southern Nigeria is better!

Oduduwan? Me? I have not advocated for Odua rep before (only as the last option), so how can I be a die-hard oduduwa? Dude, what are you on about?

One thing I want to make clear is that POLITICAL UNITY IS DIFFERENT FROM TERRITORIAL/CULTURAL/ANCESTORIAL UNITY!!!

The same way Edos are politically united with the SW. During a break, they might want their nation.
The same way Kwarans and Kogi peep were politically united with "one north". During a break, their stance is clear
Likewise the Ijaw nation, Itsekiri,Uhrobo, Kalabari etc.


Too many people are caught in this euphoria that they seize to be pragmatic in their thinking.

ndu_chucks

That map represents the true political reality in Nigeria. Whoever prepared that map is a political soothsayer.
The producer of that map must have CLOSELY followed political developments, body languages and nuances from both SE, SS and middle belt in the past few years.
The map is spot on.

BTW I will NEVER shave this my Ojukwu type beard. It has a life of its own.

You all need to cut the rubb/ish you post here!
Damn!

The only person and I mean the only supposed ND on this site that speaks on Delta or ND going with SW is Jason. I don't know what delusion he lives in but let me break it down for una on NL.

ND wants ND republic if it breaks up, if that can't happen, the second best belief of them is Biafra, followed by SW, followed by Nigeria depending on what ethnic group you studying. Even the Edo (Bini), he's constantly talks about would rather be by themselves than go with anyother ethnic group in Nigeria, if ND republic does not occur.

I don't know whom or what he speaks for but he sure as heck do not speak for Deltans simple.

@ OP

Is it a must you have to showcase your stupidity on this site daily? Na wa oo!!!

Bight of Biafra predates the name Biafra.

So long as where these border regions decide to go to is decided by referendum (supervised by the UN, not wuruwuru naija-style stuff), I have no problems.

Let the will of the people be done.

I personally don't want anyone joining us who doesn't want to anyways...

OP you are decades behind! The name "Bight of Biafra" was changed to "Bight of Bonny" during the civil war. If you check any maps produced by the Federal Government, you would find that the area is labelled Bight of Bonny.

I really don't know what you guys are rambling about. Ojukwu took the name Biafra to incorporate the Niger Deltans in order to appeal to the non-Igbos. I wonder if the word 'biafra' is indigenous to Nigeria. I have seen so many things written about it and there is nothing concrete about its origin.

As for me, the name 'Biafra' has died with Ojukwu. It is therefore needless attempting to change the name. The man who made it relevant is dead. QED

I am itsekiri from warri. I repeat the Itsekiris have no cultural, historical or linguistic connections with the igbos, it is an insult to include us in your igbo nation. It even smacks of arrogance to put itsekiri land in your map. You want to colonize itsekiri land? Well we will await you on the battle field. But do not scream betrayal when we solicit for help from other regions to repel Igbo aggression.

Biafra as a name has nothing in common with Igbo. The bight of Biafra was an older name for the bight of Bonny. It has nothing to do with the Igbo ethnic group. Had it been called bight of Isuama, bight of Oru or bight of Eboe, then you all have a case here.

Abagworo: Biafra as a name has nothing in common with Igbo. The bight of Biafra was an older name for the bight of Bonny. It has nothing to do with the Igbo ethnic group. Had it been called bight of Isuama, bight of Oru or bight of Eboe, then you all have a case here.

Biafra has become the symbol of secessionists and other treasonous elements in Nigeria, so that bight should be renamed. If you believe today, that biafra has nothing to do with the Igbo ethnic group, then you must be a redneck.

@ Wirinet:
My brother, it is not only arrogant but its very insulting! What is even more insulting is when you hear people like Only[i]truth[/i][s][/s]lies suggesting that that is what will happen!

Well, then again, its only on an internet forum like Nairaland you'll hear silly stuffs like this!

@ One Naira:

Speak about Delta? Hell no! I only speak about Itsekiris and sometimes Uhrobos and western Ijaws. Delta Igbos have said they want Anioma state (no wahala)!

NO THE ND DOES NOT WANT ND REPUBLIC! It is the Ijaws and some Uhrobos that want the ND republic! Ibibios, Efiks, Ikwerris, Itsekiris, Edos etc DO NOT WANT ND REPUBLIC! It is a fail expansionist agenda that will NEVER come to reality!

Bini? What have I said to suggest that Bini will join the SW? I said even with the political unity, it does not mean they would have geographical unity et al. So what are you on about?? Even if the Ijaws form their republic, I can assure you that it will not be Biafra. Why? because political unity is VERY DIFFERENT from geographical unity!!!

Speak for Deltans? Why should I? I speak for myself and sometimes, my ethnic group!

jason123 and co, honestly don't worry too much about it. When the day comes that Nigeria divides, we will know where everyone stands, who wants to be with who.

Talk on the internet can only go so far. Heh. Isn't worth stressing over.

no matter what you people write here in NL about THE GREAT BIAFRA (GB),we the masses won't be demoralize IN actualizing our dream nation.
Remember 'igbos makes nigeria today',THE GOOD AND THE GREAT...

a bitter piles abi?

1 igbo brain=10 ordinary nigerians brain.

Why are the Igbos bunched up with the Niger Delta?!

I can now say with positiveness YOU ARE NOT ND as some have accused you of. Who in their right mind, whom claimed to have lived within Niger-delta will open their big mouth and claim only Ijaw and Urhobo wants ND republic. ROFLMFAO. Goodluck swinging that sh1t around.

As for You speaking for Western Ijaws and Urhobo, dude, they have voiced their opinion multiple times and they want nothing to do with SW. What in the world are you on about? From Urhobo to Isoko, etc do not want anything, neither do they wish to join SW when Nigeria breaks simple. I have never met a ND whom wishes to join SW when Nigerian breaks apart other than well YOU. By the way, do not waste your time opening up an account pretending to be urhobo just to have someone to back you up. We know how you do and I don't have time for that nonsense and childishness.

As I've said before LET THE IJAWS, THE IBIBIO, THE WHOMEVER speak for themselves. YOU AREN'T ONE OF THEM, neither can you voice what they want.SIMPLE.

I think comprehension is your problem! How did "WE ARE NOT PART OF THE SOUTH-EAST" equate to "I WANT TO JOIN THE SOUTH-WEST"?? Are you mentally okay?? Because seriously, I think you are not!
What "new Id"? Do you actually think I take Nairaland that serious? Dude, I don't need a new ID to get my point across. I am not that desperate and as you can see, I do not spend most of my time on NL (too tribalistic anyway).

Now, to address you silly post. You said I am the only one you have met blah blah.
