The reality is the Orodje of Okpe and the Supreme Council of Okpe Kingdom has come out to state clearly that the Okpes kingdom is one of the Urhobo kingdoms.

Hmm, I don't know if you are being sincere with what you are saying.

@Efewestern, darfay & Mystiquefia

I have met with so many Okpe people who clearly tell me that they are not Urhobos. I have also met with those who accept that they are Urhobos.

Read this below.

https://okpeunionamerica.org/message-to-urhobo-brothers/

Nowenuse:
Nice one.

Politically, Okpes are still together with the Urhobos, but mentally, most Okpes reject Urhobo identity. Why is this so?

Many of them vehemently assert their Okpe identity and get angry and even violent if you insist it is the same with Urhobo.

She didn't counter with any fact. Let her show any document where the orodje of Okpe and the Supreme council of Okpe kingdom said that Okpe is not Urhobo.

I am glad you didn't counter my point about you Igbos reffering to the Aniomas as fake Igbos. She should worry about being a fake igbo.[/s] Which prove again? When okpe students in Delta state university do their meeting differently from urhobo Union

You are hearing meaning it has been existing.

By your argument, why dragging Okpe when you still see them as fake Urhobo.

LMAO.


Reverse argument is bad... Don't always employ such in midst of sane people.

Reverse argument. You couldn't counter but introduce reverse tactics.

I disagree with you. Urhobo has many dialects. Some of them include ughiewvien, Udu, Uvwie, Ughelli, Olomu, Agbarho, Okpe, Agbarha, Jesse, Oghara, and Ewvreni. Okpe dialect is similar to Uvwie dialect. An Ughiewven man might have a hard time understanding an Uvwie and an Okpe man. The general Urhobo spoken is that of Agbarho.

Any of this dialect can choose to become a distinct ethnic group like the Isoko if they want. Likewise many choose to remain in the Urhobo nation just like the Okpes. The Isokos and Urhobos were jointly reffered to as the Sobos by the British during the colonial era. While the Isokos decided to forge an ethnic identity of theirs later, the other Urhobo dialects, including the Okpes, decided to stay within the Urhobo nation.

It is the same way an Anambra man might have a hard time understanding an Edda man from Ebonyi. But they are all Igbos.

The names and culture of the different dialects, plus Okpe, and even that of Isoko, are quite similar with minor differences here and there.

I just want to point out that there are different dialects among the Urhobos.

[/s] Okpe kingdom is not Urhobo land stop attaching by force

Liliantalks:
isoko is not urhobo n that’s fact ,, but urhobo and okpe is still debatable. But isoko no join , their language is totally different. Their names r different , their culture is also different

Armaggedon:
efe2real clown, and you want the world to believe that the same isoko people who hate to share a common senatorial district with you will share a utopian Niger delta republic with you?

Isoko not sharing a senatorial district with Urhobos is all about politics, not hatred. Politics is all about interests. But of course, everyone whose interests do not align with the Igbos hates them, according to IPOB. The Isokos have shared the Western region, Midwestern region, Bendel State, and Delta State with the Urhobos. I don't see any reason why they won't share Niger Delta Republic with the Urhobos if it align with their interests.

that is not the issue. the issue is are the tribes happy with you instead? do the tribes prefer you that is calling for Niger delta republic to Igbo's?

https://thenationonlineng.net/association-warns-deltans-biafra-agitators/amp

That's an Isoko group opinion about Biafra.



How can itshekiri and ijaw trust you when you are still fighting over warri.

The way you paint it somebody will think that Warri is worse than Borno State. Warri that has not witness any crises for over 10 years. I can tell you that Warri is even more peaceful than many communities in Ebonyi State. The Urhobos, Itsekiris, and Ijaws in Warri have been part of the Western region, Midwestern region, Bendel State, and Delta State together. Even an Ijaw man was president for 6 years and had an Ijaw Chief of Army Staff for sometime, yet there was no crises during his tenure in Warri city with the ijaw having so much federal might. That is a clue that the Urhobos, Ijaws, and Itsekiris can still live with each other in any other country.


Did one urhobo group not call for the creation of a new state for urhobos when their plan to dominate Delta failed. why did they resolve to have another state and run away from the same group they want to form a country with? clown!

There has always been agitation for the creation of other states from Delta State. Likewise, in many states in Nigeria. For example: the aniomas have been fighting for Anioma State, Urhobos for Urhobos State, Ijaw and Itsekiris for Coastal State. So an Urhobos group agitating for an Urhobos State is not news.

someone said anti Igbo sentiment formed the basis of your audio Niger delta republic.

The person that said that is Nowenuse. I was curious to know the reasons that made him to propose the theory that anti-igbo sentiments is the glue holding the tribes in South South? Unfortunately, he is yet to answer my question.

Anioma are the only people keeping delta stable. create anioma state and watch delta go up in flames, how much more a warri republic.

This is really laughable. U guys give yourself too much credit I swear. Aniomas is the stabilizing factor in Delta State! Nothing Efe nor go hear for this Nairaland.




clown. Igbo are minority yet you run around crying that the same minority Igbo wants to dominate you. Inferiority complex induced hate can even make you contradict yourself so far as you suits your hateful self.

Igbos who are IPOB members are behaving like people from minority tribes on this Biafra issue. You guys are clinging to the South South like the survival of Biafra depends on it.

Everyone knows that the more fragmented a group is the more difficult it is to have a common objective. Mutual mistrust defeats unity of purpose.
many people from the Niger delta ethnic groups also grumble out of frustration but their fragmented nature has made them helpless to protest their condition.

The tribes in the region are not cowards. They have been agitating for the interests of the region all by themselves. Where were the Igbos during the Niger Delta Struggles?



Naturally any agitation that has implication for the entire eastern region has to start from the Igbos because its size and homogeneity makes for faster and easy communication and mobilization.

The first agitation that was done in the Eastern region was done by the Ijaws and terminated by the Igbos when they were the ones in charge of the country. Before Biafra, there was a Niger Delta Republic.

http://newsroom247.com.ng/?p=15917

United kindom started with the kingdom of england, then wales, then Scotland and later ireland. The "neuclus" of the slavic soviet union was Russia. Every great nation has a dominant culture and other related but smaller culture therein.

The bolded reveals the true intention of IPOB Biafra: to advance the interests of the Igbos.


yes we are proud. that is why we don't want to continue living like animals. we want to build a new future for our Children. I should rather be asking you if you have shame because you accept the status quo and have no aspirations whatsoever. but rather jump on Biafra thread to seek attention.


I am a proud member of the readers association of Nairaland. I rarely comment on Nairaland. But the way u IPOB members go about telling bare-faced and shameless lies and uterly disrespect the minorities of the south south region forced me to start commenting Biafra issues here. Una too dey lie and nor get even the tiniest regard for the tribes in the South South region.



you don't get the point. All these are non of your failing business. Focus on your urhobo, focus on getting okpe to accept urhobo identity, focus on settling your crisis in warri and gaining the trust of minorities in warri before sticking your neck into how IPOB is doing.

But adding Urhobos lands to BIAFRA without even according us the minimum respect of consulting our leaders is IPOB's business. Have you seen a Berom man in Plateau warned IPOB to remove them from Biafra? Of course, no. Because he has no business with IPOB as they were not included in BIAFRA.

clown. you don't know the difference between boundary dispute and inter ethnic dispute. communities all over country have boundary disputes.

Even your urhobo had one which cost the lives of several persons barely two months ago. https://thenationonlineng.net/two-killed-one-hospitalized-over-land-dispute-in-delta/

Thank God say you know say communities always have boundary disputes everywhere in Nigeria. For your information, majority of the crises that happened between the Urhobos, Itsekiris, and Ijaws are boundary disputes too. In fact, the Aladja and Ogbe-Ijoh recent crises was actually a boundary dispute.


however, ethnic crises are sectarian in nature and portray specific threat to political stability.

Actually, many crises reffered to as ethnic crises are actually land dispute between two different tribes. They are resolved just the way crises between Ezza/Ezillo or Ikwo/Izzi crises will be resolved.

The Igbo has never had sectarian crisis with any of their neighbours which they want to be part of Biafra. But you fight with ijaw and itshekiri and still pretend to speak for them.

Ebonyi and cross river are always at war. Or is cross river state not part of IPOB Biafra Map?

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/ssouth-east/194817-one-killed-in-ebonyi-cross-river-communal-conflict.html

Audio hate! whatever you think Ebonyi are called is absolutely immaterial provided they have everything due them. Their gov. leads the southeast govs. forum and Arthur eze from Anambra is the biggest donor in the state. Many people from Anambra live in Abakiliki and vice versa. Have you heard of Anambra and ebonyi fight and kill themselves the way you fools do over ogbe ijaw.? clown.

At least, you accept that other Igbos regard Ebonyi as inferior Igbos. Have u heard of crises between the Urhobos and the Efik too? Of course, no because they don't have a land boundary. Same applies to Anambra and Ebonyi too. They have no land boundary that is why they are not killing themselves over land too.

Ogbe-Ijoh and Aladja crises is because of land boundary. Just like Ezza/Ezillo and Aguleri/Umuleri crises.

like repob and tribop?

No.

I mean socio-cultural groups representing these tribes.

http://saharareporters.com/2017/08/14/ijaw-youth-council-dissociates-itself-biafra-agitators

yes. you have no choice. Go write it down. When a referendum comes you can't stop it. The only way to stop it is to mobilize your people to vote "no".unfortunately you can't because you are alone in your opinion. If you can you wouldn't be in every Biafran thread clowning and following pro Biafrans like flies.

Lol. Urhobos land na IPOB business abi. I don't need to mobilize anybody when the group that represents the Urhobos has denounced IPOB and Biafra.


https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/urhobo-denounces-inclusion-in-map-of-biafra/amp/


Biafra is an audio country and you are worked up, running around restless like a headless chicken at the mention of it?

Utopian Biafra.

Clown. you have to first of all ask if anyone is scared. Everybody supports your utopian Niger delta republic provided you get a flag, provide a map, take to the street in peaceful protest, get the support of the EU, US, Israel and make your case to the UN. If you do that we will be first to support you. But then you can't. You only pop up like a notification each time Biafra is discussed to express your inferiority complex. You still wonder why we regard you as someone who doest know his left from right?

Not everyone thinks agitation for something as serious as a country is all about carnivals, photoshoots, comedy, and spreading of senseless lies. Many groups in the South South region have not expressed their intention to leave Nigeria. Because the Igbos are agitating for Biafra now does not mean other groups will do same too. After all, the first time an ijaw man agitated for his own country, you guys were the one that suppressed it. So you have no right to tell tribes in the South South when to start agitating.



Pazienza is now your love because you have brought him down to your level of perpetual confusion, indecision and self loathe. we are not all like him.

Lol. Is he not a saboeteur?

Nowenuse:
Efe2real, Efewestern, Blackking98, Mystiquefia, TheGodlessGod, Kinematics

Well, perhaps I might have been too intrusive into Nigerdeltan affairs and much of a prophet of doom.
Well this is because of 2 things. I am from the northern minorities part of Nigeria, and I spent most of my life and upbringing in the Southern minorities area. In addition to that, I have been a northern minorities activist for the last 10 years.
If not for this covid pandemic, I was supposed to be having a meeting I organized for the youth leaders of some of the largest minority groups in the north/middlebelt.

So, I am not just one who comes to rant unnecessarily online and have no relationship whatsoever with my online agitations in real life.

I don't think any of you have been involved in grassroot mobilization or the study of minorities as I have been. I don't mean to Bragg.

You guys should not just be online commentators who come out to defend Nigerdelta on nairaland without a concrete firsthand relationship of the lives, mentalities and relationships of minority groups, especially as pertain to seccession or nation building.

I don't know how well you guys have studied the Breakup of Yugoslavia? Pls if any of you have not done that, I strongly advice you do so.... Likewise the partition of India, breakup war of Bangladesh and subsequent seccesionist agitations of Balochistan, Sikhs & Tamils/Dravidians.

See, if you guys really love your Nigerdelta identity as you claim and you are not just acting as spoilers. I suggest that you guys begin real physical ground work on the feasibility of a Nigerdeltan union before it is too late. Nigeria is sitting on a ticking time bomb and when the explosion takes places, those who are not well prepared will be left gnashing their teeth.
I have seen this and that is why people like me and others have taken up the task of enlightening my own people in this regard.

I am currently writing a voluminous book which will help my own people (northern minorities) understand ourselves, our territory, unity and everything else if peradventure division comes knocking. These are a few among many other things we are doing in our own capacity at the moment.


Now, let me give you guys these 2 examples from the breakup of Yugoslavia and India.
The demography of these 2 countries may be different from what we have in Nigeria, however at least they can give a picture.

1) THOSE WHO DON'T PREPARE AHEAD GNASH THEIR TEETH.

Slovenes & Croatians begun the seccesionist agitations to counter Serbian aggression & expansion. Meanwhile, Bosnians & Kosovoans were watching, perhaps acting as SPOILERS at that time, who knows.

When Croats & Slovenes successfully left, repelled and cleansed Serbians from their territories and Serbians knew it was lost in both territories, they had no other option but to descend on the weaker and silent Bosnians & Kosovoans in a desperate attempt to gain more territory.
Till today, the world is still lamenting of Serbian atrocities and genocide against Bosnians & Kosovoans (ethnic Albanians).

This is what happens to people who are not ready when the shiit hits the fan!
If not for US-NATO timely intervention, Bosnians & Kosovan Albanians would have been completely destroyed by Serbs.

Had it been Bosnians & Kosovans were well prepared and actively behind Croats & Slovenes when the whole katakata begun, It would have been impossible for the Serbs to decimate them in the manner they did.
So you people should ask yourselves where the Nigerdeltans will fall in all of these.


2) DIVISION BRINGS MORE AND MORE DIVISIONS AS NATIONALISM IS A VIRUS

After the partition of India along religious lines, Bengalis (East Pakistan) clearly saw that they could not cope with West Pakistan and Bengalis lost 3 million people who were massacred by Pakistani soldiers. Perhaps, half of Begali population would have been killed if not for India's intervention and today we have Bangladesh.
Now Balochistan has started their own agitation to breakaway from Pakistan. All of these are inspite of the fact that everyone has his or her own region in Pakistan where they control their own rescources! So why are people still wanting out? Ethnic differences and ethnic nationalism. Simple!
Sikhs & Tamils have had their own seccesionist movements from India too.


Yugoslavians are one people who speak the same language, but religion was their only problem, yet they divided into 7 countries and still counting till today ... Why not just 3? Since Orthodoxy, Catholicism & Islam were the only 3 religious divisions in Yugoslavia.
That is the virus of nationalism! Montenegro still broke out of Serbia later on.
Pakistanis had one religion but ethnicity still divided the country. .

Imagine if countries that had strong uniting factors such as religion, ethnicity & language were dividing themselves, how much more a so called Nigerdeltan republic only united by Anti-Igbo sentiments and nothing else?


Some of you also make the mistake to think that the division of a country where strong nationalist sentiments come into play is the same as living in a one Nigeria peacefully under the might of the federal govt?
I laugh at such naivety

There must be a clear partition in places where ethnic nationalities meet each other!
A place like Warri cannot coexist with the 3 different tribes intertwined as a homeland, whether in a separate country or in the same new country with autonomous ethnic regions! It is impossible. But if you guys think it is possible, then I say Goodluck.

Ijaw autonomous region or Itsekiri autonomous region must have their own well defined maritime & land boundaries defining their own rescources! Cos this time around it will no longer be Delta state maritime boundaries or rescources controlled by the FG. It is every ethnic group to his rescources and everyone will want to fight to get the largesse of the auction when the auction period begins.
A look at South Sudan should give a clue.

There must be a form of partition.
Same with rural/urban Benin where Ijaw & Benin communities intertwine. Same with Ikwerre & Ijaws in PH.

For me, I have chosen not be the overtly optimistic and naive 'all is well' person cos history will always repeat itself, time and time over again.


For my own people for example, we have 3 problematic areas where there must be a partition!

1) The Hausa fulani Kanuri land boundary

This boundary will be very bloody and we have to be prepared for a war and religious partition in this boundary, cos the Hausa fulanis are unreasonable human beings who only speak the language of VIOLENCE, they don't believe in dialogue.
The religious partition has already begun gradually and it will blow up in the next few years. This I can promise.
Infact this could be the precipitate to the division of Nigeria.


2) The Tiv- Taraba/Nasarawa boundary.

Tivs & Jukuns (Taraba)/Alagos (Nasarawa) are all middlebelt people, but unlike you naive souls, I know that we cannot live together as a people cos our values are not the same, regardless of us being Christians.
Tivs are Bantu people and expansionists by nature.
The conflicts and bad blood in that area is endless.
There must be a partion!

And we will even have this partition before the breakup of Nigeria. By next year or at least 2022, all the Tiv & Taraba elders, traditional leaders must sit down and this issue settled forever.
All the Tivs in Taraba would have to relocate to Benue and all the Jukuns in Benue would have to relocate to Taraba, leaving their ancestral homelands.
Since Taraba has more lands and Tivs more number in Taraba, we may have to cede some more lands to the Tivs for peace to reign.


3) The Egbira-Bassa-Gbayi frontier

Bassas & Gbagyis have same mentality and orientation and can easily live together, but Egburas are another people entirely.

There are up to 4 LGAs in Kogi, Nasarawa & FCT where these 3 tribes intertwine. There have been conflicts and the bad blood is strong.
Without a clear-cut partition, the war in this area will not be a joke.
All Bassas & Gbagyis must peacefully leave their ancestral lands in Koton Karfe LGA and Abaji town, while Egburas must leave Abaji rural, Toto & Bassa LGAs.
Cos without this partition, there is no way in hell, you can define Egbura, Bassa & Gbagyi homelands distinctly without encroaching into the territories of the other ethnic groups.



So, those of you including me as a prophet of doom for your 'Utopia Nigerdeltan republic of harmony' should know that I am doing this just because I have a more practical understanding of these issues and not because I am pro-Igbo or just want you people to join BIAFRA.

I personally do not support minorities being in a BIAFRA if it will be a unitary nation!
If there must be a BIAFRA with minorities involved, it will be a very loosed Confederacy like the UK or even the EU model and the minorities I picture in such a union are probably not even you Southern minorities but my own people (northern minorities).

Cos I don't think any reasonable united group of people should dream of forming a country with you Nigerdeltans, cos you people are a stacked pack of cards waiting to crumble after the only glue (anti-Igbo) that holds you together no longer exists.

I will never act as a spoiler to the Biafran cause because I know that if Nigeria must divide, the rest of us must work together to realize this, after which everybody will find his way.
And those who are not prepared will be likely visited by the atrocities of Bosnia & Kosovo.

So, just as an Igbo person here suggested, you Nigerdeltans should take your Nigerdeltan republic agitation to the forefront and let it be known, so that the Igbos/Ipobs can take you people as an equal partner in the struggle and no longer subsume you.

Cos by law standards, Igbos are not wrong in including you guys into Biafran agitation, especially the Ijaws & Akwa-cross people! You people were a part of the old Eastern region which the world and UN recognize as the historical territory/agitation of BIAFRA.

If the UN & Nigeria must bring a referendum to BIAFRA, it must be on the grounds of the territories of the defunct Biafran state. Delta/Edo people are safer cos they were not officially part of the old Eastern region internationally recognized as BIAFRA.


@Ix3as
I always emphasize the fact that I am not Igbo, cos nairaland has a narrowed lense of looking and labelling everything in the Yoruba/Igbo dichotomy. Everyone who talks in a certain way is either Afonja or Igbo and you know this.

I joined nairaland around 2012 when Tribalism & seccession vibes were at an all time low and people did not feel the need to create fake monikers for impersonation.
I never for once since that time claimed to be Igbo, but a middlebelter, so I wonder why your brain should think that I suddenly turned Igbo overnight.
Go and check the threads I created since 2012 and see what they are about.

Nowenuse:
You see, Tivs, Igalas, Idomas, Ebiras & Nupes are part of the Middlebelt, but I as a Plateau man will never want to share a country with these people if Nigeria divides. Cos I know how these people reason.
They reason just like you SS tribes.

Larger ethnic groups tend to have a stronger form of nationalism.
You see these middlebelt tribes I listed above?, they have not even had very bloody conflicts with each other like you Urhobos, Ijaws, Itsekiris or Ogonis have had with each other, yet I do not need a soothsayer to tell me that Igalas, Idomas, Igedes, Tivs & Ebiras can never ever form a country together as one people in peace.

It will never work! Cos everyone is suspicious of each other and does not trust the other.
Will the capital of such country be in Tiv land? Idoma land? Igala land or Ebira land?

See, do not mistake intra-ethnic rivalry for inter-ethnic one, they are not the same thing!
Ebiras behead each other in their clan fights in Okene, but when it comes to politics, they readily keep that aside to unite against the Igalas.
Tivs fight each other, but when it comes to fight Jukuns and steal their lands, they are united.

People of the same ethnicity can always settle their differences and live together under one political union, but it is not always so for multi-ethnic places. Especially when these tribes are very large.
But when these tribes are smaller, unity is far better and easier, that is what I was telling Blackking98 when he was laughing at Ogoja people .....But he thinks I just want to attack his AkwaIbom-Efik people.
Ogoja people can always live together under one political union in love and peace cos they are dozens of ethnic groups and they all know that they cannot do without each other.

I am even happy that many Tivs, Idomas & Igalas know that they cannot share one country with each other hence they propose their own Takururu, Apa & Okura republics.

Urhobos, Esans, Binis, Etsakos and even Isokos have strong nationalistic tendencies. It's not as if you people even have one language that unites you people.... I share in your optimism, but you and I know that such a union will never work.
The average Esan man is still very bitter of the fact that Benin is his state capital.
Then u think he will still agree for Benin to be his new country's capital?
Can't you see how much your own Urhobo people are so so pained that Asaba is your state capital? And u think your people will allow Benin to be a state capital again?


The best thing for your people could be a very loosed Confederacy like the UK or everyone has his country and then you form something like the EU.
Nigerdeltan republic, Midwest republic, Akwa-cross republic can never see the daylight of unity and progress.
You guys should take this from me as someone who has been into 'minorities agitation & unity' for the last 10 years.

Before, I used to think that my people can form a progressive bond or nation with the Tivs, Idomas, Igalas & Ebiras as one Middlebelt republic, but God forbid.
We have nothing in common that unites us.

But when you say Plateau, Southern Kaduna, Southern Bauchi, Nasarawa, FCT, Taraba, Adamawa, Southern Gombe & Southern Borno. We are one people with same culture, same mentality, same orientation and over 150 tribes united by Hausa language/Christian values.


What will be the uniting factor for the Nigerdelta republics? Language? Oil? Geography?
I can't even say Religion cos you people do not take Christianity as a serious identity unlike those of us in the middlebelt.


@Efe2real,. I was born in Warri.

Who owns Okere? Pessu? Aladja? Ogbe-ijoh market in Warri urban?
How do you carve out and separate Okere, Okere-Urhobo, Agbassa, Ekurede-urhobo, Ekurede-Itsekiri, Ajamimogha, Ogunu e.t.c from each other into separate regions without a war?

Let us not even talk about the Itsekiri & Ijaw towns offshore where u find one Itsekiri town surrounded by Ijaw towns and vice versa.

Hmm, I just hope and pray that God gives your leaders extreme wisdom & tolerance to conduct your affairs if Nigeria divides, because ehn your region will be a pure battleground.

Bobonnukwu:
Because I hate double standards, on one hand you accuse the entire IGBOS of trying to force non-Igbo speaking tribes from the Niger Delta into Biafra, despite resounding rebuttals from many Igbos who have made it clear that the few unintelligent IPOB members who do that don't speak for the entire Igbos. Yet you guys still find every way to insult the Igbos (like what can you minorities put together even boast of in all indices of achievements that the Igbos haven't achieved ten times more)?, if the reason for the arrogance is oil, there's a huge reserve of oil in many Igbo speaking parts of Rivers state, including Imo and Abia states. Now my point is, I find it hypocritical that you accuse the Igbos of forcing others to join Biafra when only a minority of them do that nonsense, yet I'm seeing way too many of you trying to create a Niger Delta nomenclature without even having the respect to consult and affirm if the other ethnic nationalities in the South South actually want to form a republic or stay on their own, get my point now?

My own be say make una no go make mistake include Anioma for una Niger Delta republic, except you want another Biafran war 2.0 in your so called republic.

Bobonnukwu:
Form a republic exclusively for your own ethnic group, stop merging unwilling ethnic nationalities into your phantom Niger Delta Republic, until the other tribes in the Niger Delta decide in one accord and voice to merge together, you are in no position to force issues on anybody that hasn't given you the permission to. Speak for YOUR tribe only, and let the others decide.

Nowenuse:
Edoid groups worked together with Itsekiris & Aniomas to break Yoruba domination of old Western region.
How united and loving have you guys been to each other post Bendel & Delta/Edo state? That is the question.

Make no mistake, I would love to see a united Edoid nation or Nigerdeltan nation, however, growing up with you people, I have understood the way you people reason and this would be very difficult.

Actually Binis will be the problem of an Edoid nation because they will insist that the capital must be in Benin which you Urhobos & Esans will fiercely reject.
Benin people have this strong sense of superiority over other Bendelites owing to their ancient Benin empire.

So let me ask you, if there is an Edo nation today, where will the capital be? And don't tell me Benin cos you and I know that Esans & Urhobos will never allow Benin control them.

Also, if Edoids have a country, what will be the fate of Itsekiris & Ijaws? Considering how intertwined Itsekiri & Ijaw communities are with Urhobo & Benin communities. How will Warri be divided?

Infact, nothing will stop you SS minorities from going to war with each other if Nigeria divides.

Then tell Kanu to STOP calling Itshekiris Biafrans. We are not Igbos. We are not Biafrans. Even the Yorubas that we are most related to (by blood) in Nigeria never (out of respect) call us Yorubas. They respect our independence. The Binis who are our cultural kins also respect our independence. Imagine some Igbo man from Abia state saying he will come to Warri and conduct a referendum to ask me and my families to decide if we are Biafrans. Is he madt? Is he stupid? What is there to decide? Is like asking a Japanese to decide if he is Chinese. What kind of fvckery is that?
