Why no link to this story?

are you sure about this?because I know your stand about son inept leadership in se.

my stand..I don't think I've discussed anything of that nature with you

before the elections I had already agreed with okezie..kos unlike his predecessor who was myopic, Okezuo Abia has an in depth vision for not just Abia but the SE as a whole.
TAOs influence over him doesn't come in as an excuse kos buharis victory has neutralized it.
l'ezi a Oke ezuola Abia!

you're damn correct Regan!
the Biafran army and airforce have intensified their training abroad in readiness for the great crusade.
very soon, the states of Abia, Anambra, Imo, Ebonyi, Anioma and Enugwu would give thanks to Chukwu Abiama on the great things he had done especially for resurrecting the 4000 year old Biafran empire.
greetings to the peoples of Izon, Mmoño(Ibibio/efik), Oyono(ekoi&ojoga) and Igbo for this wonderful development

Macelliot:
Keep dwelling in lies....
I wish I could give u a copy of the disc...
The Biafran Soldiers blew up the Niger Brigde to stop the Nigeria Army from entering into the Biafran territory....
Did they bombed the bridge with sticks?
Even with the 1st and 2nd world-war(full).
I wish u could have a copy of the disc...
I think you can find it on BBC's database...

how do I get the disk..am in owerri presently

what a sagacious piece from Nyerere!
this is what I tell self hating Igbos like egift and eurobomber that the state exist for the protection of man and not the other way round
Nigeria is no longer useful to the people of the SE+Anioma region and so has to be done away with!
when the SEAR army rises like the sun,the memory of the nigger area shall be committed to the trashbin of history!

django1:
Which state can we find the Etches?

in 4 LGs straddling Imo and Rivers states.. Etche, Omuma,Ngo Okpuala & Ohaji/Egbema

bigfrancis21:
Exactly. Biafra sounds too Igbotic enough. I had mentioned this earlier before somewhere. A name such as 'Federation of Lower Niger' would be perfect. Every member of SE/SS would feel an absolute sense of belonging.

the name Biafra was coined from the name of an ancient empire that existed around 2500BC with the same name.
in the spirit of equality and friendship, the five Diets that make up the FLN would answer the name Atlantis while Biafra would be restricted to the Diet/Parliament of Igbo land.

Rjasan:
I'm a niger deltan, from the SS of nigeria(delta state to be specific), i've been reading so many news on biafra lately on nairaland and it interested me so much. Should the Ibos active their biafra dream, what'll be the fate and hope of the SS? Will the south west too not cooperate with the north to frustate the common S.Southerner. This is a call to the SS let's not be quiet and allow ibos go like that, let's join them whether we feel we have the better resources and they do not. One thing I've come to realise is that whether they only engage in buying and selling, the average ibo man will survive as long as there's a will and self determination. Let's not be blind, let's not allow the fear of the unknown to prevent us from making this move or later we may be the ones calling for our own 'niger delta republic' yes our own country. Let's do this to prevent a future catastrophe. Okay, should the Ibos go, will there not be a parasitic association between the SS, SW and the North. They depend on our oil to develop their own states while in return we have little to gain from them. Should they go, what makes us think the northerners and their wife(SW) will not bestow upon us the ill treatments given to ibos. Let's think twice now, let's join and fight for biafra or we may live to regret it later and by then it may be too late.
DAZALL

that's for your insight into this issue although the parts of the SS joining the Biafran dream has been decided. the map below explains it all

Dollar101:
Then stop drawing ur silly maps on our soil

your soil??
Anioma is joining, whether you like it or not!

AnanseK:
A tiny enclave of a minority tribe making so much noise and empty threats. The 5 Igbo states put together are not even half the size of some single state. And they want more states. None of their states is up to the size of my LGA.

Igbo making empty threats since 2000BC.

2000BC was the exactly the year the Great Biafran Empire was established and worship of the great God Chukwu Abiama instituted

ebamma:
it's better for the ikwerre and anioma igbos to be minorities in Niger delta Republic, than the ijaws, I ibibios, annangs, urhobos,orons ,ukwani,ajaghams,yakurrs, itshekiri etc,to be minorities in Biafra
on Nigeria I still stand bro until we can get our own Niger delta republic

why is it better to have SS Igbos as minorities in a Niger Delta Republic?

barcanista:
What lies in store for the Niger Deltans/SS? Do we continue with the one Nigeria? Should we demand for independent Niger-Delta country or we consolidate on our love and unity with the Igbo nation for an independent and a united SS/SE country?

As an Ijaw, our father's resisted Biafran movement because of "trust" issues. I have searched to see the legitimacy of such fears even read from the memo of Chief Dappa Biriye and I have found no real base but the natural human fear of the unknown. Dappa Biriye, Isaac Boro and some others fought for united Nigeria even when they had nothing gaining from the country. Dappa Biriye was very close to Yakubu Gowon, Muritala Muhammed and even Ahmadu Bello. He always preached "resource control" and good environment, yet we never achieved it. In fact, he formed the Niger Delta Council, a political party for the ethnic Eastern Minorities, through which Melford Okilo won a seat to the House of Representative. He had alliance with Northern People Congress that formed the government, yet we achieved nothing but a common parliamentary secretary. Despite our loyalty to the Nigerian state, the status quo of marginalisation and outright rejection of our demands still stares our faces.

Of a truth, the Niger Delta is filled with different ethnic group and it has never been an organised entity. An independent Niger Delta will only created a confused society. The more organised entity is the eastern region/SS/SE that has been even before independence. The Igbos have shown real brotherhood and have been consistent. I TRUST them.

If Nigeria is to remain United, there must be structural change. Resource Control and True Federalism should not only be accepted, but implemented and encouraged for socio-economic and political progress. A continuous rejection of this demand should make way for a referendum for the people of the ss/se to determine their future in accordance with the UN Principle of Self Determination. Should that be the case, I shall support a United Country with the Igbo nation and the SS irrespesctive of the nomenclature.

However, the new country will have to adopt autonomy of the different nations that makes up the country.



God Bless Us All

the highlighted shows how enlightened you've become. the 5 diet model of the LNF is the way to go,with the presidium taking care of just defense,currency and foreign affairs. the 187 LGs that make up the LNF would be grouped into these 5 Diets/Parliaments and everybody would develop at his or her own pace with the resources YHWH has bestowed on him.

@Customized13
We might have to change the flag wen the sun finally rise and also the name of the country. This signifies the Birth of a new entity and new beginning. Just thinking!

the only thing is to change the black in the flag to blue... this would mean the sun rising in a blue background not black. the one with the black background would now be used by the armed forces.
as per the name, would you like Atlantis?

Xetima:
Bros, Sincerely, the South South region is so traverse now. How would you class PH? Where do you think the ibibios, Efik, etc will align with? Moreover, we have always have this Ijaw/Urhobo/Itsekiri crisis. The better pill to take is to join the Igbos, who would be dominant only if other entities are fragmented. A united Lower Niger is feasible. This is what the cabal never wanted.

By the way the name BIAFRA is not Ibo, it came from Bight of BIAFRA which Nigeria now call Bight of Bonny just to divide and rule the South South Nd South East.

the LNF is a project the Igbo, Ijo and Ibibio-Efik have signed up for. moreover the capital would be at PH city, which lies on the border btwn the Igbo, Ijo and Ogoni.the regional govts at Enugwu (Igbo); Yenagoa(Izon); Uyo(Akwa Abasiibom); Opobo(Delta); Calabar(Oyono) would be given responsibility over every issue except defense, currency and foreign affairs with the option to secede if they want.

Forwetinnah:
Which kind Ewure and Mammy water symbol be that? Very disturbing!! And Elephant or Lion would have been better

Nne ewela iwe
that insignia is the symbol of Capricorn, which is also the sign of the Enki which represents the sea goat.
moreover its not an intended LNF symbol.. its just my birthmark or zodiac sign

they should ensure that the 187 local governments that make up the Lower Niger Federation are given a seat in the UN,just like the Vatikan.

Rose2014:
Na today? Hypocrisy smelling like fish
As soon as eyes are on them, they start professing love for Igbos like no man business. U start to hear things like:

My best man is Igbo
My senior colleague is Igbo
My wife's mother's sister's first son is Igbo


Feel free to add yours

God is watching Nigeria in 3D

people like havennie would say my boyfriend is Igbo.
the other would say my best friend is Igbo ™
among all Ofei' behaviors, the highlighted annoys me the most!

OgagaMic:

hao! hao!! hao!!!
its good to know that the lower Niger federation has no need for the Soboko and the Jekri tribes
one thing you should know is that the LNF is a recreation of the old eastern region except that unlike the old east,the LNF incorporated Igbo and Ijo parts of Delta state.also unlike the old East, the LNF capital is at Port Harcourt.Ijo nationalists like barcanista,dearpreye and Mmoño nationalists like new2020 are with me on this.
don't cry pls

OgagaMic:
abeg Nor let me laugh, okay Oya talk say na una get SS na, rubbish, una dey 1 small part 4 delta and pH tat 1 give u d right to claim SS, Oya cum claim na..

OgagaMic:

God bless Nigeria, God bless SS, God Bless Urhobo

enyi gaa nodu ala!
the Igbos are also found in the SS while the Yoruba are also found in the NC.where else apart from the SS are your Sobo people found?

scarred9jan:
Jonathan is a liar, has always been... Marike De klerk did not divorce F. W because of that. Infact it was F.W that asked for a divorce because he was having an affair and he remarried within a week of his divorce. And this happened FOUR years after Mandela became president.

This is why Jonathan lost out. People feeding him lies and him believing it without making proper checks.

why weren't you there to correct him when he said that?

ianSweet:
U are sick! where did i ever say i had an igbo boyfriend? Only Havennie said dat.

anuohia zuzu pum nīhu oso oso!
I nu ihe gbasara Igbo maobu Biafra ahu amawa gi jijiji

is he looking forward to the establishment of the Diets of Igbo, Izon,Akwa Abasi,Oyono and Delta
then I'd say he's much welcomed

PreciousBro:
LoL This Thread Though.

Am I the only one that thinks Havenine and IanSweet' are twins if not the same person sef lol

They both registered same day, similar time spent online.

Bigoted twins.

and they're both middlebelters with Igbo boyfriends

the term IGBO meant the ancient ones.this is from the root terminology GBOO which is used to describe how primeval something is
put succinctly, the Igbos can be called NDI GBOO which means the ancient ones

NZEGWUAGU:
You dey vex? Who told you her father's people did not contribute to her up-bringing? All this your your gender equality bullshit leads you no where. We are living in a predominantly patrilineal world. Every damn person you know including yourself is from his/her father's place and not his/her mothers place. Magret was an Igbo girl if you like let the mother come from Jupiter it doesn't matter. Obama is a Kenyan and bears his father's name even though it was the mother that toiled and made him who he is today. Nobody wants to be a bastard. Mentioning that her mother was Efik was merely accademic. I am from my state because of my father and not my mother likewise you. Anybody who is an indigene of a state on account of his mother is simply a bastard! So her name was Magret Obiasulor before marriage changed it to Ekpo. We thank Efik people for helping in nuturing our daughter, though. God would bless them. Mana Ozuzu zuchaa onye nwe nwa nwe nwa!!!

I'd ask that havennie takes the highlighted part to the bank,kos it would save her a lot of BS!

somegirl1:
The OP forgot in his bid to be mischievous that Imo and Abia are part of the Niger Delta and unwittingly answered his own question about Igbo representation.

Nne m,
the rate people get high on Igbo issues is getting out of hand!

Nowenuse:
Also, based on the 5 major human geographical divisions we have in Nigeria

The Core-northern part of Nigeria, the Middlebelt part, Eastern, Western & Niger deltan

Let's say Margaret Ekpo represents the Niger deltan region as an Ibibio
Ladi Kwali represents the Middlebelt region as a Gbagyi woman
& Funmilayo Kuti represents the Western (yoruba speaking region)

I'd like to hear from Igbos (easternerns) and the Hausa-fulanis (core-northernerns), who are the most influential Igbo & Hausa-fulani women that ever lived??

stop talking nonsense!
Margaret Ekpo was an Igbo who married an Ibibio. she was an Aro Igbo and not an Niger Delta shiit!
