Trump will soon land his hammer on AfDB and all these ones beating their chest about buhari will scamper for safety.

He'll freeze the hell out of your US assets and accounts in Afdb and you'll all start running helter-skelter.

Sentiments aside, nature blessed the Niger Delta with natural resources but ended up undermining it by making it a Babelian society.

To be honest with you, a Nigerian Delta Rep will sink into a civil war no sooner it gains independence. South Sudan is an example of how a heterogeneous and resource rich country will decend into chaos once left on their own. Ijaw will be the greatest undoing to any nation it is part of and I will give you reasons.

1. They have a topography that makes guerilla warfare easy and convenient to embark on.

2. They have oil resources that can sustain any warlord who wants to fight the government.

3. They don't believe in deplomacy rather they are aggressive and voilent when going for what they want, naturally lazy and are a band of disjointed ethnicity with many dissimilar subgroups.

I have studied the disparate ethnic groups in the Niger Delta and Ijaws are the ones that would destabilize any country that forms there. Already, they are fighting with virtually all its neighbors at the moment and the formation of a new country will cause the faultlines to deepen since there won't be external bigger enemies to fight.

Igbos will have a moderating influence if the whole region becomes one country but even at that it is still too risky for me compared to an only Igbo country that will have relative peace and stability.

Lastly, I don't think there is ever any state, least of all in Africa that has just one ethnic group so it may be difficult for the UN to grant an only Igbo country but even if we are to go together, I will always support a country where every region is autonomous to an extent.

Look at these fool, it seems like you have nothing else to say that's why sounding like a broken record.

There is dignity in honest labour but since you're using the fact that they sell gala to feed their families to insult them, don't forget that your people accuse innocent children of witch craft, send their children to do boy boy in the city and even sell their daughters to men in exchange for money.

Ekaettes like you should respect your self.

Niger delta kor Niger alpha and omega ni.

Ardar:
What's this one saying? Are you using those positions to prove that you mmoghos got it better in Nigeria?

Lol these people are clowns, go and check the list of people and their tribes in high positions in NNPC and tell me how many you guys have.

Ardar:
You're also part of the 5% akaette, stop deluding your miserable self.

Ardar:
Onye mmogho no one asked your opinion.

Ardar:
Like that guy earlier said it's better for people in the Niger delta to be ruled under an illiterate fulani than a literate Igbo man.

So as long as it's fulani people that is subduing them, they have no problem. That's I don't feel an ounce of pity for them when they cry about their waters and fishes been poisoned.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Chimaraymond455:
I keep saying it, Niger Delta republic is a good idea, and i support 100% but mind you Edo is never part of Niger Delta..., Niger Delta is an ijaw ideology lead by Isaac boro, again if I may ask how many tribes make up Niger Delta republic if an ijaw man can say he will be dominated by the igbos if he join Biafra or oduduwa, or arewa, why then he chooses to include other minority tribes to his Niger Delta republic Like i said earlier i support your ideology to achieve Niger Delta republic but please re-draw your map, you cannot include anag people, Ibibio people, etche people, anioma people, obigbo people, ekpeye people, etc without their concept, or are you now their mouthpiece it's an consult to include all this tribes without consulting them,...or do you want to force them or are you not aware that Niger Delta in an ijaw ideology an agenda

Goodmarlian:
A peaceful country right fool yourself .hope you know ijaws are equally aggressive too they can easily take up arms anytime the power tussle will be so worse than Nigeria Mark my words .

If you ever saw or sat in the four walls of a classroom, you would know that using Wikipedia to reference your academic sources or citations indicts the credibility of your IQ in itself. I can easily go on Wikipedia right now and edit Buhari's names to Muhammadu Buhari Chukwudi Kanu...

mrvitalis:
It's impossible ...u can't right where u are not popular ...

AniOmaa:
They asked you to provide a CREDIBLE academic source and you're giving us Wikipedia that even my 12 year old brother can easily edit?

Secondly, even if the list of those countries that supported Biafra is true which I doubt cause only 4 countries recognized Biafra (Ivory Coast, Tanzania, Zambia and Haiti), then those countries just gave Biafra *de facto* and unofficial diplomatic support/sympathies and nothing more. Biafra especially at the early stage of the conflict, only managed few mercenaries who were contracted for just few months... since Ojukwu lacked the funds to keep paying them, many of the mercenaries simply packed up and left. The only major foreign mercenaries that fought honorably with Biafra were Major Taffy Williams, Rolf Steiner and some Swedish pilot that helped us fly our minion transport relief carrier planes that were customized and fitted for war purposes.

France gave Biafra only MINIMAL military support, that's what younger generations of Nigerians due to lack of substantial history been taught in our school curriculums fail to understand. The little support Biafra from France came rather belatedly, sometime around late 1968...the recapture of Owerri from Federal hands among other towns that were recaptured came around around that time when we some supplies from France... Yet throughout the war, Biafra never amassed 1/10th of the armada of limitless war machines and supplies the Nigerian side had.

Thats if ipob candidate is not popular enough ....u can only rig where u are a bit popular ...u can't get 20% and be decleared winner when the other scored 70%

Ipob have dedicated members ,vote ,follow it yo the ward level ,follow it to the state level , that's how it should be down

Unless ipob is scared they are not popular
There is absolutely no other way

Nigeria and other nations would never take Biafra serious when the legitimate leaders are not saying anything

If ipob is not serious another organization would come up and form the party

People like me would fund them very well

Ipob as it is now is nothing but a joke

How did France aid Biafra war-wise? In form of weapons, intelligence, food or state otherwise

Gow do u mean by this assumption? Pls outline proofs

Still the same excuse. If the favored person is Igbo, it’s because he/she is the most qualified for the position in the world. No other person is qualified so the president has no choice. If it is someone from another tribe, it is nepotism.

See, it’s really becoming embarrassing and you guys really need to stop this. Appreciate the wonderful gesture of the president and stop being an ingrate.
