ngozievergreen: All I know is that yorubas shd mind their biz.

Ngokafor: ..but ofcourse they should have their own country however way they want it..but it's their decision not yours..
...anyway am done with you cos i hate having a back and forth with your type..creeps me out for real...have fun!

Onlytruth: The present day reality is that Nigeria may actually disintegrate next year, and it is no joke.
Learn to live in your corner of Nigeria and learn how to work hard to build a new country, in case it happens.
Stop hyperventilating here. You will die of heart attack for nothing.

Ngokafor: ..but as a yoruba guy,your level of anger is out of place really or are you in a permanent state of anger,animosity and pain?...you are neither from ND nor Igbo yet you've been hyperventilating over this issue...
..strange indeed cos i expected you to be more concerned about your Oduduwa country or something..na wa.

Onlytruth: lol Hate is eating up this Demdem guy. I only laid out what will likely happen should Nigeria disintegrate and the guy is about to commit suicide.

Here is a rough history of how Nigeria came to be. All the countries that disintegrated followed old boundaries.
In other words, what was coupled can be DE-coupled. Nothing more.

[b]1862 (January 1): Lagos Island annexed as a colony of Britain

Mr. H.S Freeman became Governor of Lagos Colony (Jan. 22)

1893: Oil Rivers Protectorate renamed Niger Coast Protectorate with Calabar as capital.

1890's: British reporter Flora Shaw, who later married Lord Frederick Lugard, suggests that the country be named "Nigeria" after the Niger River.

1897: The British overthrew Oba Ovonramwen of Benin, one of the last independent West African kings.

1900: The Niger Coast Protectorate, merged with the colony and protectorate of Lagos, was renamed the Protectorate of Southern Nigeria

Sir Lord Fredrick Lugard

1914: The northern and southern protectorates were amalgamated to form Nigeria. Colonial officer Frederick Lugard was governor-general.

1929 (October): Women in the eastern commercial city of Aba held a rowdy but effective and victorious protest against high taxes and low prices of Nigerian exports.

1951: The British decided to grant Nigeria internal self-rule, following an agitation led by the NCNC, Dr Azikiwe’s political party.

1954: The position of Governor was created in the three regions (North, West and East) on the adoption of federalism.

1958: Nigerian Armed Forces transferred to Federal control. The Nigerian Navy was born.

1959: The new Nigerian currency, the Pound, was introduced

1959: Northern Peoples Congress (NPC) and Niger Delta Congress (NDC) formed an alliance to contest parliamentary elections.

1960 (October 1): Independence. Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe became Nigeria’s first indigenous Governor General.[/b]

Ngokafor: Frustrations at it's peak...i wonder why some old fools love to constitute a nuisance on a faceless forum with their garbage....
...if it's not chanting 'Jonathan' all over the place like a psycho,it's 'ND and Biafra' issue..
... an adult throwing tantrums like a toddler..pathetic.

Orlando Owoh: Demdem, you're right: Asking Rotimi Amaechi to present the 19 governors that voted for him like asking Goodluck Jonathan to present the millions that voted for him. If this is done, Jonathan won't even get up to a fraction. If this were a developed country the electorate would have approached INEC to coduct a recall on the President.

gramci: dummydummy, when you go get sense?

gramdaft, will your seeds ever get sense?

ngozievergreen: U still have not said what ur headache is .

Ngwakwe: I have every right to express a contrary view provided it's devoid of insult, tribal profiling and outright lies and this I have done consistently.

No doubt ur rights exists and am not denying u of such. however i take it as a responsibility on my path to shed light on ur darkness. This i have also constantly being doing. am proud of my good and noble deeds.

You remind me of one spoilt brat I came across whose pride is in insulting everybody that dare scold him or questions his action.

WHat do u mean by insult? Is reminding u of what u stand for in your real life an insult. u gat to be specific here. if i insult u, report to mod and let them deal with me. In the absence of that u are simply talking rubbish. U really remind me of an unrepentant hypocrite. a cat with several lives. Stands for something in real life stands for another on nairaland.


End time Generation.

U need to repent.

kepsi123: Not even worth a comment. And you are obviously not cross riverian or Akwa Ibomite

Ngwakwe: You forget it's your hobby whenever you quote me

Looking for respect you so lack

gurnam: Clear violation of NL rules without provocation.

Please Mods..take care of these two before things degenerates on this thread:https://www.nairaland.com/1523408/jonathan-calls-off-budget-presentation-nassembly

ngozievergreen: Nobody presented Biafra to u.

Lilimax: Stop that!
You should not insult our president

ngozievergreen: before, am I not Igbo?

ngozievergreen: Then leave us alone.
its btw SSners and igbos in the SE.

ngozievergreen: If u were so blind to tell me Ijaw citizen was ijaw, that means u are full of lies.
Are u closer to any SSner than an Igbo person is?
Am the one to tell u whether they prefer to stay with hausas/yorubas or with Biafra, if Nigeria were to break.

alexchiny: Are you now from ND or SS? Mind your damn business!!!

Onlytruth: Some of you lose your damn minds everytime anyone says that you may have to STAY ALONE without Igbo or Eastern Nigeria. I know that oil has a lot to do with your fears, but I cannot help your fears.
Being outside actually opens your eyes to how things REALLY work on the global stage. You cannot see properly from your thatched mud house in Oshogbo.

Back to topic.

Can you show me any new country that was recognized by the UN without internationally recognized borders?

Love them or hate them, the colonialists actually SURVEYED and MAPPED the countries (complete with survey beacons), and documented their findings properly. If you go to Britain today, you will likely see maps from the areas that become Nigeria waaaaaaaay before Nigeria was cobbled together. That is why Bakassi had to be resolved with FULL Anglo-French-German participation.
The British actually conducted HISTORICAL, LINGUISTIC, and ANTHROPOLOGICAL studies before they drew the borders.
The book on the Igbo written by "Basden" in early 1900s captured the Igbo more than any book written by any local Nigerians. The "white man" is thorough. Nigerians are shoddy, and sometimes outright irresponsible.

When Nigerians stated creating regions and state from 1964, they did shoddy jobs and created chaos everywhere. For example, all the states created by Gowon in 1967 are obtuse and senseless, and the borders can NEVER be functional naturally. One may even argue that he created the states invidiously and with a view to punish percieved enemies. But that is not even the point. The point is that there are many agitations for new countries, but the UN cannot take all of them because it will create chaos everywhere. The UN is controlled by 5 permanent powers, 2 - 3 of which are past colonial powers. These powers will try their best to retain control over creation of new nations from their erstwhile territories. As far as the British are concerned, Nigeria is still THREE regions, and they have documents to prove it -THEY CREATED IT.

The countries that disintegrated did so along already existing (internationally recognized) borders.

ngozievergreen: Ijaw citizen is Yoruba .
And I have told u ND is diff from SS.
And u don't know anything about the civil war and who harmed who.
Do u think those grps yorubas are beckoning to join them will want to stay with u?
U are talking abt SS ppl that don't want to go with igbos - ur own acct, what if I tell u abt those that would rather go with Biafra than Nigeria, my own acct.
Like I said, Igbo only nation is my take

berem: Some people can really argue blindly sha! It sucks to be daft and dumb at the same time.
