"Peace" is the answer to both questions.

I think i understand you clearly. All the aliens that are currently fighting as PARASITES to control the region's resources would be seen and heard No more. And the region would have its peace! I also share that view.

SS will lose nothing at all but the problem they might face is territoriality boundaries and corrupt leaders which can be sorted out within the different communities...................

When and if the south-south eventually have their own country they'll receive the rude shock that they have nothing in common apart from oil.

I can't speak for Delta state. But at least rivers and bayelsa have been able to live for centuries with minimal internal strife and even when present was mostly
between the igbani ijaw groups who also sorted themselves out.the annags,efiksand ibibios
also have been able to live peaceable with minimal stress.

Up till this day, the major reason there is peace in Rivers State in particular is Nigeria. Again the major reason Igbos are sheepishly taking insults of being landlocked is Nigeria. If Nigeria breaks up, Igbos will define their true boundary and you know some people might come to oppose and there will be war. That I am very sure of.

Delta state too will live in peace.

With the touted Itsekiri/Ijaw malice, isn't it surprising that swathes of Ijaw land in Delta state are Uduaghans strongholds, despite him being Itsekiri?
Delta states agro is like matrimonial matters, we slap ourselves today and sneak under the covers tomorrow. No outsider can understand it. grin

If Nigeria disintegrates today, the nonsensical nomenclature, south-south, will cease to exist. The phrase will go with Nigeria into a landfill.

I guess what you called insult from landlocked statements is actually display of ignorance. Ndigbo and their neighbors in southeast knew such talk of land lock is useless and do not pay mind to it. By the way, who in his or her right senses would want to upset Ndigbo in the south if Nigeria should breakup?

true boundaries meaning igbo will claim opobo ,bonny,Ph,ikwerre,ekpeye etc.even if bonny agrees to be igbo I hope you all know you will have to go thru ogoni, okrika,andoni, nkoro territories to get to bonny are you going to wipe off these tribes. If you go the ekpeye route via sombreiro or o
rashi rivers you will still have to go thru degema, brass, and other ijaw territories to get to the Atlantic. Prior to Nigeria been formed no ijaw or igbo or other minorities in old rivers state fought why would igbos now want to fight? If not "ojukokoro".

I don't think Igbos will want war but what I think is that all the artificial boundaries created to dis-organize the Igbos will be removed and land ownership will be debated based on who was there first historically. That will cause a war like that of Israel vs Palestine as everyone can lay claim to the lands, while no one is a clear owner and ready to concede.

That is why we should all support Nigeria to survive because a lot of wars will be fought after the so-called break up. Nigeria holds us together.

Better still, why don't we clamour for true Federalism and stop all these secessionist movements. It is treason to suggest secession. If I were Goodluck, all these people talking about break up and secession will be arrested, tried and hanged for good.

It appears you know the facts but chose to be naïve. Igwe Ocha (PH), Igwe Nga (Opu Obu/Opobo) and Ubani (Bonny) as well as people of Ikwerre and Ekpeye are Igbo and in Igbo land. In addition, Ogoni, Okrika, Andoni and Nkoro people will have a choice to make and I think they will make the right one. In fact, the Ibibio, Annang, Efik, Ejagam, Atama, Ijo (eastern Nigeria) and Benue state peeps will have choice to make too.

There is no doubt Republic of Igbo land or even Biafra is set to match into the glory of nation building while judiciously guarded against detractors with their land lock crap the moment the cesspit called Nigeria disintegrates. There could be a war/wars if anybody attempts to tell Ndigbo where Igbo land starts and ends without due respect to historical facts.

Of course, Igbo and its neighbors never fought a war but things have changed from the time the civil war started, ended and now.

And if these tribes choose to be independent or stay with their ijaw brothers which they've done eversince colonial times are you going to wipe them out ?.the issue of igboland is very controversial seeing that there's never been an igbo kingdom. Heck even the name igbo is a relatively new appellation.
