Right!
you think it will be that easy? tall buildings will just spring up overnight in the Niger Delta and become headquarters.

You need to check proximity to ports which is why we Yorubas have the uppermost hand. If it was that easy, SS won't be having the challenges she has today.
Moreover, Igbos won't have free passage in SW hope you know.. remember you guys are so landlocked. Well you can pally with Cameroon and the likes but no easy passage for you guys in Yorubaland. Same applies to Hausas

fratermathy:
And how is different from what I wrote??

Kindly point out the estuaries in Igboland.

Alariwo2:
No dear.. it won't work that way.
If atal Nigeria will split, everyone will go their separate ways and we'll have nothing less than 6 small countries out of the "big" Nigeria.

Yorubas have a clearly defined boundary, we don't need to do attache with any region or force any oil producing community with us. Oduduwa republic will stand.

Igbos in the SS are tenants.. The real owners are the Ikweres, Ijaws etc. They can evict you guys whenever they like.

fratermathy:
The River Niger Delta is where the River Niger makes contact with the Atlantic Ocean and the various estuaries and creeks that are created by it.

If you think this is wrong, then let's hear your definition. There is only one definition of a delta.

Gourdoinc:
if all you have said above even though very subjective statements and open to arguments are true. then of course you are igbo. but are you biafran? are you and your people interested in a biafran enclave? do you speak in generality of your people to want to be dominated by a majority igbo which you claim to be part of but yet admit the presence of other non igbos as well as igbos with identity crisis. this is a pertinent question that should be answered to drive the point and argument against creating a dichotomy between an south south person and the igbo

Amberon11:
Keep quiet. Are you not ashamed of saying the bolded? So your Biafra must be centered on Niger delta and anyone who opposes is Hausa/Fulani/Yoruba spy right?

So without Niger delta, Biafra is nothing right? Just so you know that lady is one of the most sensible Igbo's on this forum and is not an ass licker like you and your fellow ipobs.

Alariwo2:
Amarabae my crush.. you have good points but the fact still remains that igbos won't decide for the over 5 tribes native to the SS region.

Igbos should stop the idea of SS and SE, it won't work. Just like they want a separate country so also do the SS people have right. I stand to be corrected if atal I'm wrong

fratermathy:
Look at the geographical map of the Niger Delta (where the Niger River meets the Atlantic). That point and its estuaries and creeks has nothing to do with Igboland!

ScotsReferendum:
Ankio Briggs and Asari are Igbos.?

Those middle belt people that visited Kanu are Igbos too.?


Just laughing at this Hausa Fulani Afonja spy


Every tribe that has interest in escaping this disaster called Nigeria are free to join Biafra

toolovely:
what is south south? is there anything like south south in the Cardinals points?

ScotsReferendum:
You might doubt me but trust me on this

She is not Igbo


Hausa Fulani spies are doing all it takes to drive an edge between the Igbos and their neighbors


They know that our unity means freedom


Remember Nostradamus prophecy about the powerful prince that will arise at the trigger of the gun


Even the middle belt people are running to join the Biafran train

Many people like her will fail in their divide and conquer tactics

victorvezx:
Don't mind her, everybody that oppose Igbo plans is now termed as Afonja, regardless of their tribe

CutieGuy:
Bro she is an igbo.
The only problem i have with her,is that she always like to pocknose in IPOB matters, especially when including the non igbos in Biafra

But she z igbo.

fratermathy:
You made many clarifications and you are right to a large extent in your original post.

However, you came short in one thing:

The geographical Niger Delta has NOTHING to do with Ndigbo, contrary to what you wrote.

The geographical ND comprises ONLY Ijawland, Itsekiriland, Urhoboland, and maybe some parts of Ikwerre (maybe).

Whatever ways that word is used politically is a different thing entirely.

But like you said, Yorubas are as much of the ND as Igbos are so there's really nothing special about the term "Niger Delta". Personally, I prefer South-South or Deep South when referring to my region.

TheKingIsHere:
One thing we are sure is that you aren't Igbo.

victorvezx:
Nah, I know u here. U are one of those igbos that scream Afonja up and down to anyone who oppose Igbo expansion plans in the south south. Continue

ScotsReferendum:
To me she is an Hausa Fulani spy

You know that Hausa Fulani people want only the Igbos to go so as to keep plundering the resources of the minorities.

If you listen to her comments, you will see that same message advocated by the Hausa Fulani people

To me, she is not an Igbo.

victorvezx:
Lol, so anybody that oppose Igbo people plans in the South South is now Afonja? U igbos better accept the fact that there are tons of people in the our South south region that are ready to oppose any evil expansion of the Igbo tribes in the south south. We will resist with everything we got. Continue deceiving urselfs

sarrki:
The last time I checked I was invited to this thread

You weren't invited

Niger Deltans are wonderful people

Igbo's are very small minority in the The great Niger Delta region

victorvezx:
Don't mind them, they are very arrogant, they feel like the old eastern region is their birth right, they feel like they are the custodian of the old eastern region. If u tell them u don't want Biafra, they start screaming Hausa and Yoruba divide and rule, forgetting the fact that it is the people from the present day South South that requested that Gowon should separate the south south from the south east to avoid Igbo domination.

SGTsmith001:
. i can bet my deeek you are not from oron in akwa ibom state .i know you

Amarabae,please ignore this guy.a check on his post history indicate that he is a chronic Igbo hater. something very rare in the akwacross axis

TheKingIsHere:
Shut up. You are not nigerdeltan. ..You are from osogbo. Don't deny your people.

freshest4live:
Why can't they have a Niger Delta republic, if they choose to? Igbo is minority in many of the southern states except the south east. Let the igbos conduct the referendum amongst themselves then their brothers in the south south can become dual citizens.
But l know you Igbo's want all of those states, so what happens to all of the non igboid ethnic groups all over?

pazienza:
Amarabae.

Good thread. But you can be well assured that those Igbophobic entities are very much aware of that. That's why Nzeogwu coup is called Igbo coup and not Niger delta coup.

If we go by Edwin Clark reasoning, Niger delta is Ijaw and Ijaw affiliated groups only, he made this clear when he campaigned against Odili ambition of being Yaradua VP in 2006/2007.

The Igboid and Igbos know that Niger delta had been twisted not to have any Igbo in it, so they try to be part of it by denying their Igbo identity, but as we saw with Odili who is Ndoni ethnic group, Ndoni being an Igbo speaking group edging towards Igbo denial, Igbo denial cannot help Igbos in Niger delta, it would only leave them as pawns in Ijaw political class chess game.

Recently CRA called himself an Igbo and the likes of Annie briggs got discomfortable, why do you think its so? An Igbo man proud of his Igbo identity give those people goose pimples, they 'd rather have An Igbo man in identity crisis who is apologetic for having an Igbo dialect and names.

These people had given an Igbophobi flavour to the term Niger Delta, so much that the only way any Igbo speaking group in the SS can proudly answer that name is by denying their Igbo identity and becoming even more Igbophobic than the non Igbos there to prove their non alignment to Igbos to them , all in forlorn hope of being accepted as part and parcel of the Niger delta.

This to me is silly, coming from these Igbo speaking groups, considering the fact that if all Igboid group in the Six SS states unite as a single political entity under Igbo tag, they'd become the single largest entity in the SS, and would displace Ijaws ( who had managed to unite non Izon speaking groups to form Ijaw ethnic group) as the single largest group in the region and would be the one dictating for every one else.

I belong to Rivers state forums and I see how they all tease and cajore Obigbo for sticking to their Igbo identity, they constantly tell them that they are Aba people, in response to this some misguided Obigbo people had started toeing the path of Ogba, Ikwerre and Etche In Igbo denial, even though those from Obigbo with such plans are still but insignificant minority, but the number would grow, if things don't change fast and furious.

Amarabae, once again, this is a nice topic, good job.

victorvezx:
Ok tell me, if all the minority tribes join together to agitate Niger delta republic, will u igbos join too? Or u feel like taking orders from ur big brothers in the south east?

victorvezx:
Nothing like divide and rule here, u igbos are simply still dreaming of the old eastern region

victorvezx:
Nothing like "May", igbos in the south south are a minority, it's a confirmed fact. And why did u say igbos are a majority in the Niger delta? Historically Niger delta is only delta, rivers and Bayelsa, so how come igbos are majority? Are u adding the south east?
