As a south south person who have followed Nigeria politics closely there are things that are very crystal clear to all Nigerians about Nigeria unity.

No matter how everybody pretend about Nigeria Unity or Division today, everything boils down to Niger Delta oil.

The following scenarios prove my point:

1. Ask Biafra to form thier country with South east alone for a start, let South South Join them later if they wish. You will see strong opposition from Biafrans. You start hearing stories and plenty version of history. How south south people speak Igbo. How Jaja of opobo is Igbo. How Anioma is more Igbo than Benin bla bla bla as if they care. The next thing you will hear is let do a referedum. And ask South South people to choose between Biafra and Nigeria. This is d greatest Hippocracy in d matter. I WILL BE VERY HAPPY IF BIAFRA AGITATORS PUT REFEREDUM TO SOUTH SOUTH PEOPLE AS THREE OPTION INSTEAD OF TWO. LET THEM ASK SOUTH SOUTH PEOPLE TO CHOSE AMONG NIGER DELTA REPUBLIC, BIAFRA OR NIGERIA. When Biafra agitator start making the referedum three options instead of two, i will become i strong supporter of d movement. But instead they will start divide and rule on south south. They will start telling south south people how Ijaw and Itsekiri dont agree. how okrika and ikwerre dont agree etc. As if Niger delta people agree with them more than fellow south south person.

2. Let Biafra openly say they dont want South South in Biafra, Nigeria will grant them freedom within a year.

3. Let Niger Delta oil dry up, and Biafra struggle continues, Nigeria will divide within d first six months of no oil.

4. Another reason North want One Nigeria is because of Lagos. Lagos is d prize of south west. North is landlock. Lagos is d major source of import to Northern Nigeria.

In summary No matter how Biafra agitators pretend or One Nigeria Northerner or South Westerner pretend, Everything Boils down to Niger Delta oil as at today. SOUTH EAST,SOUTH WEST AND THE WHOLE NORTH ARE ALL PARASITE TO SOUTH SOUTH.

I know some will say IMO and ABIA have some oil. True. ONDO state Oil is more than IMO and ABIA combined. The sharing if 13% derivative anong oil producer clearly shows this.

The truth is dat the most important thing or intetest to human beings is economic interest. It is not brotherhood, it is not religion.

The importance of Niger Delta is so obvious today. Nigeria is almost dead just because oil price drop by 70%. No fuel, no dollar, PDP/APC Governors cant pay salary all over d six geopolitical zone, inflation etc all boil down to low price of Niger Delta oil. No light is still about Niger Delta gas. The truth is dat Niger Delta is d air Nigeria breathe.

As long as Biafra Map have South South in it, Biafra will continue to be a mirrage. There will never be referedum. It can only happen by war. All most all d war in d world is about economy not religion.

If South East want to leave Nigeria without south south, Nigeria will rather encourage it than prevent it. The North Will be very happy to hear that.

[size=14pt]Right here and now can your substantiate your silly allegation of linking IPOB with violence?[/size]

A people who are barely existing and are at the mercies of illiteracy, abject poverty and squalor cannot dictate to another how to live their lives!

So far in all these years of existence IPOB has conducted its affairs including protests peacefully including seeking the necessary international recognition and process for self-determination.

Over the decades the marauding herdsmen have been ravaging your land and killing your people for fun. How many threads have you and your lots created on NL to register your protest against such dastardly acts?

How many of your kinsmen dare challenge the marauding herdsmen for wieding ak-47?

What efforts have your elites put in to counter the hate speeches in mosques and the unconscionable, cold-hearted waste of human lives and reckless destruction of means of livelihoods going on in the North for decades?

Can you show such credible evidences where you and your people rose in unison to condemn the dastardly acts, especially by your masters, going on for many decades now unabated?

See where your masters have turned the BRT lane into a federal grazing corridor:

It's only hypocrites that come online feigning ignorance and subtly supporting the evil of the day while indeed they are ravenous wolves in sheep clothing who commit worst crimes than what they accuse others for.

That your folks rarely stand for anything should not be an excuse for you to come in the public to castigate Igbos for seeking to have a separate existence. You shouldn't expect Easterners to follow foolish ways of delusion. 

Take your miseries to OduaArewanistan republic where you're most needed as loyal subjects.

CAPITAL NO TO BIAFROUD

gidgiddy:
Oh really? Which NASS did Lord Lugard go to when he was creating Nigeria? You are asking people to seek a political solution to Biafra while endorsing the act of fraud that made you Nigerian. Everything you wrote above is nonsense. Even if a Biafran secessionist party party won every political position in the SE/SS zone and went to the National assembly to demand a referendum, the North and their SW allies will vote it out with their much larger combined vote. So going down this route is pure stupidity. It iis funny that someone will be laying conditions for leaving Nigeria yet the same Nigeria was created with nobodies permission. As for the the incident in Abia, it had since been debunked by the Abia state government.

Uduak2019:
I'm impressed with the level of development going in SE without much oil revenue...see Awka modern houses like Abuja! Very ashamed of SS despite our huge oil revenue!

joborskill:
yes it will. the herders wont move cattles about anymore and its good news for everyone

DMerciful:
These days you hear people say 'Nigeria will be great again'...emphasis on AGAIN. Has Nigeria ever been great before? look at just a few occurrence in the past that shows we have never truly achieved greatness.
1.The first republic(Balewa's govt) was overthrown for massive corruption. Politicians were highly corrupt then.
2.Aguiyi Ironsi was overthrown 6 months after becoming head of state in what look like ethnically motivated
3.Gowon's govt was overthrown by Murtala Mohd for failing to meet the expectation of the Nigerian people.
4. Murtala was overthrown and assassinated 6 months after coming to power.
5.Democratically elected govt of Shagari was overthrown by Buhari for corruption
6.Buhari was overthrown for insensitivity of the diversity of the Nigerian state and lack of essential commodities
7. Babangida instituted corruption and suffering through SAP
8.Abacha stole all the money.
9. Obasanjo did fairly well but did not follow due process and rule of law.
10.Yaradua then Turai held the country to ransom.
11. GEJ did not exert himself and allowed stealing and Boko haram manace to thrive.
12. Buhari hit the ground and remained there...

so when has nigeria been great, i honestly want to know.

most of us need to study and understand international economic and politics, some zombies are jubilating that this administration has attracted deals with Chinese government worth $6 billion dollars to develop Nigeria infrastructure and Manufacturing company to diversify the Nigeria economy.

Noted that Nigeria is one of the biggest China exporting country and the Chinese will never jeopardize with any deal that is a threat to their market.

the Chinese knows how to play this type of politics, and they will never implement any deal that has any thing to do with diversifying the Nigeria economy.

Quakertellicus1:
Well...in 1982...oil prices crashed....and stayed low till 2003.

Nigeria did not break up then.

Gext:
lol.
China would gladly dump its Paltry investment in your country if it means better relations with the US.
The US is their largest trade partner and their largest bond market.
China is trying to lobby the US for contracts and access to rare military technology from US allies.
NO nation in their right mind would stick their neck for Nigeria. It is not worth it.
And no,. NIGERIA is not Africa. It would split and Africa would remain.
stop deluding yourselves.

Kanu has down more against Biafrans and igbos than any single individual. Biafra is now a laughing stock the world over. He's taken us 50years back on our reintegration goals in Nigerian and international politics.

naijapips02:
that IPOB and kanu's IPOB are different. The real IPOB was started by Dozie Ikedife, but Nnamdi kanu as conman that he is usurped that and turned it into a collection venture.

naijapips02:
BILIE is not IPOB. Infact IPOB is in conflict with BILIE.

naijapips02:
Yeah right. You mean like the fake putin's twitter account? IPOB has never choosen diplomacy. IPOB itself is a one man fraud that was meant to blow some horns, gather attention and then ask for collections. There's no diplomacy in IPOB.

The people making all the right movements concerning this agitaiton is the BILIE group. You never hear them make noise but they are the people getting UN's attention.

naijapips02:
there's a huge difference between rebel forces and terrorist organization.

Make your claims evident to the world and she would come to your aid.

US and most of Europe is currently supporting Syrian rebels.

If IPOB have the balls, they should do something brave and not mouth action all the time.

asorocker:
The weak, inept and unintelligent security Agents will term them terrorist and ipob will loose credibility before the European countries and North America.
I am not a member of ipob just my thinking

senior123:
Igbos n Bayelsans are not in any united struggle. IPOB is on a solo struggle

ikeg7416:
Just like Ojukwu predicted everything Nigeria would go through as a "one nation" is exactly how Nnamdi continues to predict the crap going on in Nigeria.

I remember in one of his preach, during the election told where he was asking his followers not to vote. To stay home and not vote for any body. I remembered he declared that GEJ would lose and the Buhari administration will drag that country down as heck. Imagine, that was during the election time he said that and ironically, that is exactly what's happening right now as I type this.

I said it..Ojukwu was reincarnated into Nnamdi KANU.
