Listen I am one of those who have said it before and I am from the SS.

Do you know how igbos insult us on this forum? Calling us drunkards and all manner of unprintable names, so why would they need to use the waterways of drunkards to get their goods in and out?

I don't even bother arguing with them anymore, I just sit down and observe and I know I'm not the only one observing. Those in strategic positions are observing too and at the right time, they will be paid back in their own coin.

Even if they're allowed to use the ports, they should be slammed with huge taxes.

That way, they'll learn to briddle their tongues.

You are not rational, if ss will not make money via maritime business, lagos would be glad to to host Biafra businesses and even slash their duties.

tutudesz:
An average SS man is peaceful and we hardly fight among ourselves. But those fighting for Biafra should respect our own opinion and choice on Biafra, the constant insults is too much. Igbo are doing business in Delta State and Ijaws communities peacefully, But Igbo youths in South East states keep insulting and calling Ijaws traitors.

They may not be Igbo because this is a faceless forum.You said some people are impersonating ss here likewise some other tribes are impersonating Igbo to cause problems.

ggood:
Ipob, Igbo will never get Biafra , every body hate Igbos, all tribe in Nigeria hat*e Igbos, Niger Delta ha*te them as well because of their cunny way and greediness.

In my village we hat*e them we don't sell land for them , iPod came to village many years ago and they nearly collect our Village they even install thier king in my village can you imagine, because of the mistake we made for selling our land for them , we chase them out of my village in 1996 the year we will never forget .


whenever Igbo Marry a girl in my state 70 of those girls go for money ritual and Igbo will eventually go and marry in their village after the girl is dead. we Niger Delta hat*e Igbos fu*ck iPod u will never get Biafra.

you Igbos are claiming Niger Delta and your forcing yourself on Niger Delta go and concentrate on your 5 state and leave other ethnic groups alone.


Igbo has only 5 states go and concentrate on your landlock states.
this is not ha*te speech but the fact


say no to Biafra
say no to Ipob pigs
say no to Brafraud
say yes to Nigeria

Igbo is the biggest tribe in Niger delta or ss. God has planted Igbo there.9 local governments in delta state are Igbo and 75% of rivers state is Igbo.Igbo don't grab land,if you owe land and put it up for sale and Igbo man wants, he pays and take possession. Igbo don't forcefully occupy people's land like the fulani.

dukeprince50:
I'm in Rivers state, the agitation is not as it is in SE region, in fact Biafra is not called frequently here, last time I heard Biafra was February

I have been in the East shuttling between imo state and anambra state in past three months and I have not seen people in the streets agitating for Biafra.

Christistruth00:
Can the SE 5 States truly sustain its about 30 Million Population? People don't take IPOB seriously because of this and IPOB have not convincely explained how .

Agricultural technology in the SE is not yet that advanced.

When IPOB include other People's territory in their Map it makes it more obvious that even IPOB don't really believe the 5 SE States have the Agricultural technology or space necessary to sustain their Population and so there exists a hidden Land grabbing or hijacking agenda like happened in 1967.

Ebonyi State might just be able to sustain it's Population with its available Land and Agricultural resourcefulness but it is very unlikely that the other 4 Southeast States can.

So with this your fine grammar, you don't know what's is called comparative advantage. No country in the world no matter how advanced produces all they consume.What is Lagos, the smallest state in land mass with the highest population of 20m sustaining itself? What food are rivers and bayelsa states produce. America is the richest country in the world but they import banana, cashew nuts, almonds, avocado, apples, green tea, fish,cotton,mangoes etc.Nigeria education is useless to say the least .

Ghengiskhan:
You are the one displaying ignorance here, if I said Biafra will be landlocked did I say you don't have river or can't have port ?
Allow me to school you, those rivers pass through another country that country controls the access to the big water if that country refuse you use of it you can't go anywhere.
The only way flight can enter Biafra will be through the big country again the big can stop Biafra from using it airspace which is completely legal. Is mainly because of these 2 reason I'm worried about Biafra . I am pro redrawing of borders because the colonial power put different people together for their selfish interest.
I'm not against Ipob or Biafra I want them to succeed

What is it with this landlocked ? I am right now in Rwanda and they don't have see ports and oil but they are 100 times better than Nigeria that has 6 ports and oil.Bostwana and many others are landlocked but they are better than Nigeria by far,so how can you rationalize the situations.

GODSENT252:
thank you sir. Its all good. What he doesnt know ir i nothing last forever. I am here begging for a spoilt phone when someone wants to throw 3 away its okay o

But there are things you can do to make and save money to buy a phone or are you disabled?

Ojiofor:
I have warned you to burry such an idea.

Black man! He saying the obvious but you don't want to hear it because you don't reason.No society will keep quiet for long while extrajudicial killings are going on.

Why choking up life in lagos while there other ports?This is wickedness. Containers and tankers have made life very brutish in lagos, aahh black man!

ipob canada should pull down that sign board and put biafran board and hoist biafran flag as the zoo is now officially a failed state.

This is epic.Just 1958 of yesterday.They were all igbo and belonged to umbrella Igbo union. Today they have begun to twist the history. Thank God for information age.Hidden history is being revealed.

No! There's no religious dichotomy in Yoruba land. We wine and dine together as one family.

Bkayyy:
I have two questions for you, how well do you know Nigeria?
How many states have you visited in Nigeria?

He doesn't need to there but the fact that Nigeria has no electricity and pipe borne water after 60yrs of oil and gas is a failed state.

TheGoodJoe:
There is more to London than fine houses. The roads alone need deliverance.

This is a village, even Lagos the commercial capital of Nigeria doesn't have roads.

These are mind boggling to say the least.

Tribal marks are the clincher. Those given in time past have done all kinds face make over, rub all manner of creams, lost job opportunities, potential husbands and wives to no avail but here you are in 2020 still planning to spoil beautiful twins their future happiness in the name of tribal marks as prophesied by one dirty illiterate Alfa milking your mum.The guy did well because such fetish family is very dangerous to humanity. You guys can do it and dare him to do his worst. If I were him you would never see the kids until they become adults for nursing such devilish plans.

Firespitter:
I thought I was the only one that watched the video.

One of our yoruba coordinator during my NYSC days was shocked when one ikwerre girl boldly told him she isn't Igbo. The man no ask am where she come from oh. She was called to do a presentation, the next thing was " like me now I am ikwerre not Igbo" since that day I come to believe truly that the idea runs deep into them. I pity Igbo people that regard ikwerre as Igbo.

It's not only Igbo, the ijaw,ogoni, efik,Isoko, Urohbo, even President buhari etc call and regard ikwerre as igbo. I understand and speak igbo language very well, when my friend married to ikwerre lady did his expensive ikwerre traditional marriage, what they spoke was Igbo language through out. I didn't hear Bini language there and the lady's name too is what I seen my acquaintances from imo, anambra, Anioma Enugu bear.This is beyond logic.It has never happened in the history of mankind that a people migrated less 100km wiped off everything about them and embraced new language and culture. South Africa was colonized for over 400yrs and yet they speak their native languages. Britain colonized Nigeria for 100yrs and the ethnic groups still speak their language. Even Yoruba taken to the new world - the americas- Brazil, Cuba etc still speak and keep Yoruba culture after centuries. What's wrong with Nigeria black man thinking faculty?

Arrewa:
When the excessive killings of zamfara was still on; you didn't call it jihad or genocide against the indigenous muslim communities. But since it has now turned to the Christain communities of kaduna State. You're now sugar-coating your pen to suite your narratives that portrays the southern kaduna killings as a planned genocide been sponsored by Muslim elites.

Factually, nobody is happy with the dialy killings that's happening with kaduna south citizens. But how do you expect me to support you when your long article paints me as the sponsor of the menace? Or are you intentionally calling it a genocide against Christainity to get the Muslims angry and use the bashing comments they'd rain on you to affirm your assertion?

When terrorists attack a Muslim dominant community; Most of the victims would surely be muslims. Like wise, if they attack a Christain dominant population; Majority of the victims would be Christains. The war is neither muslims against Christains nor Christains against Muslims. But a war between humans and cannibals.

I guess you're calling this a genocide of cleansing Christains due to the fact that a Muslim is ruling the the country. But did you call the 2010 to 2015 killings of Borno aboriginal Muslims a genocide to cleanse Islam? How about sokoto and katsina State menace? Is it a genocide against Christains also?

Insecurity has forsaken our country. But instead of us to raise our collective voices to condemn it and call the attention of the the government to curtail it; we are busy throwing shades at each other and playing the usual blame game. Infact, some Imbeciles are even happy about it since it'd be a means for them to further spread hate and cause havoc within the northern population.

Whether it's a genocide or not. We strongly condemn it and call the attention of the relevant authorities to unveil a fight against it.

My thoughts and prayers are with southern kaduna, kastina and zamfara citizens. I pray this come to an end. I pray that: smile shines out your rues sooner. I pray your land regains it peace and freedom.

El rufai personally said he paid the fulani killers to stop the massacre on tv interview.

Very useless country. The incumbent is barely one year in new tenure without any positive changes and they have started justling for 2023.What happen to the electoral laws that came late for signing? Any body body justling for elections without rigproof electoral reforms, restructuring or dissolution of the country is a compound fool.

This is a really slay queen in the making. Opportunity will always locate one where he/she is working hard.Techinical skills are lacking in the country while every tom, dick and Harry is looking for paper certificate in music, philosophy, social studies etc that has no value to our immediate needs.I would prefer government send her to a good technical school for two years and use the money for university to set up a modern workshop for her.

dboss12:
such is the kind of neighbour we harbour in our land so full of themselves with stupid ego, you can't even bleed well with them even Hausa friends here in Niger state are complaining the same things about them that the igbos like taken others for granted and treated you like inferior, them Igbo don't know that we Akwa ibom will one day become Nigeria president without them smelling even deputy sit, I am telling you my brother just try and start mingling with them you will surely learned your lesson.

President my arse.Igbo have had them, President, vice president, military head of state, Senate President and speaker.The President you are talking about is it the one gej just finished and the one Buhari is now that bandits have control of 8 local governments by gov. Masari. In fact you are an alimajiri,please go herding make person hear word.

xcon:
. The SS will be happy staying on their own Niger Delta republic were they will control their life and resources without any domination from the Igbo. The SS petty trading today is dominated by the Igbo, so it will be foolish to form a country were they have the largest population in any country the largest populated group have the political control, so in Biafra Igbo will control the economy, the politics and their children will be dragging councillor, Lg chia man, governor in the minorities domain because Igbo migration to SS.

It's a pure lie.In the new biafra, each tribe will be self governing, make their laws and control your resources 100%. So how will Igbo dominate you? If it's trade?train your people to be traders. Our ignorant parents deceived some of us but we the new generation have found the truth.Igbo are not out enemy. America bombed Japan and germany to smitherings and killed thousands but today they have the best of relationships. Any body that tells Igbo is our enemy is really our no 1 enemy.

splendour7:
In My Own Opinion,we Don't Need Anybody From The Ss Region,we Can Survive Without Them In Biafra,all We Want Is For The Igbos In Abroad To Come Back And Invest In Igbo Land,they Said We Have A Tiny Land Mass,but The Empty Lands In My Village Alone Can House Every Igbo Man In Lagos If They Decided To Invest And Build In The East....Please The Ss Can Form Their Own Counry Please,we Want A Homogenous Biafra With Igbo Language As Our Official Language,we Want Biafra That Comprises Only The East Period!

No! I am from ss and we want to form Biafra with Igbo. The awareness is very high now.We stand to benefit more from Biafra than Nigeria. If not for ignorance, we should be in the forefront of biafra agitation. Don't mind some erats that always write nonsense against the unification of South Eastern Nigeria. They are mostly Yoruba and hausafulani our oppressors. We and Igbo share almost the same values and that's why we intermarry and eat one another good but what do we have in common with Hausa fulani?

xcon:
The reason for the creation of SS is that the minorities demand for it the minorities forth the biafran to liberate their land from the Igbo domination they asked for it .The north did not divide the south the minorities agitated to be liberated from the Igbo's. This is the fact which can be found in history, any other person saying the north divide the south is just propaganda by Ipob to desive the SS to join Biafra were the Igbo dominate .

That is stale.I am from ss and Igbo is not dominating anybody.Every one is playing his wing. Hausafulani is the one dominating, killing, pillaging and raping our people.

Blackking98:
Mention the food that u said is native to both Annang and Igbo?
You don't have bounds really and it's disgusting.
We know Akwa ibom and abia share some cultural aspects but not up to the level is eating the same food or language oga. My local government in Akwa Ibom we share boarder with arochukwu, when I'm in the village in December you can come to Akwa Ibom. We're close but it has boundries, don't force it.

Your argument is too pedestal. If you cannot relate with Igbo your neighbour, is it fulani from 800km away that have taken over your resources and are killing you that will better for you. Have Igbo forcefully taken your land?Do they destroy your farms,rape and kill your people? All these the fulani do and that is the massage the writer is passing but black lack sense of rationality.

Susu888:
Mehn! I've never in my entire time on nairaland came across so much begging nd ass licking in one thread.

@ O.p dem don see una finish for nigeria. Ur victim card won't help ur case with the south south. U killed one of their prominent sons when they tried pulling out of naija bcuz u pple were in power at the time nd wanted to chop the oyel money true or false? Through out ur write up u were using culture nd tradition to decieve them , potraying hausas nd yorubas as the enemy,the invaders ...forgetting that u were the first to stab them in the back nd won't blink before taking their resources once u get the chance as contrary to the tales in ur write up south east ain't got shit! Barren lands with nothing beneath ,not even fit for farming nd even at that ur killing each other nd grabbing lands amongst urselves so tell me ..... If u were being fair nd honest would u stand with south east if u were in south south shoes?

The person that wrote this beautiful article is from ss. He saw the Folly of divisions in the eastern region and called for understating but because you are one of the oppressors, you are sowing the seeds of discord.

spiritmasquerad:
I understand were u are coming from, I am anioma and from Idumuje-Unor and when i ask myself this question the only similarity with Igbo my community have is language nothing more

That is why you are grouped as Igbo.There are over 500 Igbo dialects. But once your BIA is come, you are Igbo because no other ethnic groups say bia as come.

Blackking98:
Exactly, you don't see we ibibios forcing efiks in Cross river or Annang or Oro or eket even though we're atleast 80% the same. Everyone should be free to choose his path

But I have not seen Igbo forcing others to be Igbo too, because Igbo are over 45m.Why haven't they forced igala people in anambra to be Igbo. Other Nigerian tribes call these tribes Igbo.Pa Edwin clark a man in his 90s said Peter odili was Igbo man when obasanjo wanted him to vie for presidency. For instance Buhari said on national tv that Ibe kachukwu and CBN governor were representing Igbo and on body protested.The first coup was called Igbo coup by other tribes while Kaduna nzeogwu was from anioma in delta state.Ikwerre man is the Secretary of ohaneze via election not by kidnapping. Anioma man was once ohaneze President. What I want to advise these denying tribes is to change their language, names, villages and towns from the names we know Igbo for so that we stop calling you Igbo. As long as you as you speak Igbo, your towns and villages bear Igbo names, your traditional rulers bear eze/Obi you are all Igbo period

OgbanjeProphet:
Girlfriend got 2million

She must be the best girlfriend alive.

If she is the mother of his daughter, why refer to her as "his girlfriend" instead of his daughter's mama

I think its the tradition in Igbo land if you don't pay dowry on a lady no matter how many children you get,the woman is a girl friend and the children can be taken back by the woman's people if they wish. Marriage is a religion in igboland it has really propelled Igbo to being focused and determined on their endeavours as there are no girl friends, mistresses and children rented apartments for .

I have been friends with Igbo for a long time that I even married Igbo lady. I observed that The Igbo spirit has left Nigeria not because of lack of presidency but lack of development. 95% of Igbo care less now about presidency you guys talk about because it's only the Igbo due to their high iq that observed that Nigeria has collapsed irredeemably and it can only get worst. Watch out,Igbo will not even vote in subsequent elections(vote aparty will be highest ).They want to observe on the side line and waiting for an opportunity to make a life and generation changing move. Their target is very high now. I love igbo and i believe without Igbo at helms of affairs, Nigeria will go down faster. The succeses of obj and Gej were as a result of Igbo inputs. Buhari has turned a fledging 6.5% economic growth into irreparable recession without Igbo.

Wow Igbo are a unique people. Their family cohesiveness is second to none. Doing Proper marriage is one of their secrets of succeses as it makes them more focused and determined. He could have her in without much ado but not an Igbo man. Kudos for making Chinese experience your unique marriage culture as I can see they are happy.
