basilo101:Dont waste your precious time arguing with these people i have seen that all these their lies are born out of hatred and jealousy. |
Ballmer:your arguements holds no logic. Why didnt the FGN create PORT HACOURT and ANIOMA states to integrate all igbo speaking people in SS into SE? Or are you doubting the existence of indeginous igbo people in SS? If these two states were created do you know what it means? It means FIVE IGBO OIL PRODUCING STATES(anaMbra,imo,abia,porthacourt and anioma state)Like I said IGBOLAND WAS DIVIDED SO AS TO RAPE IGBOS |
Everfrank:sorry/we/the/south/south/igbos/are/for/biafra |
Pavore9:oga, state creation is not done because of land mass but based on population. It is aimed at making government prescence to be felt by the people. It is also used for resource destribution and political strenght. Why have the fgn not merged economically unviable states? |
bjims:all the state you mentioned was not carved into other regions they are still part of south west. Can you imagine a scenario were the coastal parts of lagos,ogun and ondo is carved into south south and are made to deny yoruba. These states i mentioned above are the engine room of south west economy and if these states are alienated to yoruba dont you think that would be another landlocked and economically unviable sokoto? Like i said earlier, after the war, igboland was designed to be economically unviable. All the coastal areas of igbo land was ceded to the minorities, i am sure you have heard that igboland is landlocked? That is a psychological warfare waged against igbos. If you check well you will observe that aba is the nearest city to porthacourt. In a sane and equal country aba should be in thesame state with ph so that the port will feed the industrial/commercial city of aba. I am from oyigbo in rivers state. In 1976 we were carved out of the present abia state and included into rivers state because we have oil in quantom. We were forced to answer oyigbo against the original obigbo just to de-igbonise us just as the did to ikwerres. The FGN carved out the whole oil producing parts of igboland into rivers,bayelsa,delta and akwa ibom just to weaken igbos. Do you know that if igboland is one we would have been the ethnic group that produces the largest amount of oil in nigeria? What of the 20 pounds policy? The indigenisation policy? The FGN siting and allocation of industries? Less number of states to undermine us politically? What OBASANJO did to orji uzor kalu slok group and how he fustrated ibeto(whom would have been the richest man in africa) to his early death? What of resource control? The list is endless bro, nigeria neesd to be restructured fast before it becomes too late. So dont blame igbos for what they are doing |
I am indeed touched but the marginalisation of the igbo nation is political. How can you explain the deliberate carving out of economical and naturally endowed parts of igbo land into strange states? There is more to the cry for biafra than the eye meets Can you imagine a scenario were the coastal parts of lagos,ogun and ondo is carved into south south and are made to deny yoruba for them to survive. These states i mentioned above are the engine room of south west economy and if these states are alienated to yoruba dont you think that would be another landlocked and economically unviable sokoto? Like i said earlier, after the war, igboland was designed to be economically unviable.

Do you know that if igboland is one we would have been the ethnic group that produces the largestamount of oil in nigeria? What of the 20 pounds policy? Theindigenisation policy? The FGN siting and allocation of industries? Less number of states to undermine us politically and in resource distribution? What OBASANJO did to orji uzor kalu slok group and how he fustrated ibeto(whom would have been the richest man in africa) to his early death? What of resource control? The list is endless bro, nigeria neesd to be restructured fast before it becomes too late. So dont blame igbos for what they are doing |
Hmmm... Buhari 20bn is in work already. I dont totally support biafra but i want the fgn to restructure nigeria and include all the igbo speaking parts of edo.akwa ibom,kogi,benue,rivers and delta state to south east and also build a seaport in the region. By doing so the fgn have given the secessionist group no basis for their propaganda of igbo marginalisation to sell. |
Donarozzi:thats/right |
warripekin:God bless you are a true son of his father and that of niger delta |
trapQ:sorry madam,we are the majority ethnic nationality in ss and nd not ijaws. After igbo next is ibibio which has over 18 local governments in cross river talkless of the one in akwa ibom. Many ethnic groups in the north is larger than urhobo. You people are no where to be found |
TonyeBarcanista:though i find what you said about the name hard because ogbonnia(depending on dialect) is an igbo name but i will make a research on that. I can also tell you that these are government sponsored propaganda, even igbo governors and leaders condemned biafra. No government will allow his territory to be balkanised during his time,so we understand what buhari is doing. but i am sure a refutal will come when it comes i will call on you. |
TonyeBarcanista:sorry we are not one. We are igbos,pls stop attatche by force |
omoharry:but yout suppor ijaws speaking for south south even when igbos are the majority ethnic group. See your life |
Euro31:some people want to make us minority |
cheruv:we are watching them closely |
kaycid77:though i am not a strong supporter of biafra i think that this confirms ipob accusation that the FGN released over 20bn to launnch a war of propaganda against biafran ethnic nationalities. How can an itshekiri answer an igbo name |
Zoharariel:pls sir are you saying that i am a migrant in my ownland? So as a person from oyigbo lga in rivers state, i am not allowed to complain about ijaw dominance in my geopolitical zone? Or are you saying that there are no indigenous igbos in south south? |

Xpaz:they started this siege to undermine the igbo nation. We have to put them in their place. Igbos and ijaws are not mate for them to use us as a willing tool to achieve their selfish political aims,little wonder some of them were calling for niger delta with them as the head. We are the majority in the niger delta not them,therefore,south south igbos will resist any attempt to rob us of our identity and use us as a willing tool.

Full article africanheraldexpress.com/blog8/2013/10/04/niger-delta-as-ijaw-colony-a-word-of-caution/ my concern is not about the other ethnic nationalities in the niger delta but on igbos of which i am. We have observed this agenda both on nairaland and offline, and ss igbos will continue to resist it both online and offline. |
This article was written by an ikwerre igbo. Dear readers i will advice that you read the full article for proper understanding here Three developments combined to convince me that one of Ijaw’s agenda is to dominate, rule and colonize the Niger Delta. The first was the discussion I had with a fellow passenger (name withheld because I did not take permission from him to publish his name in this article) on 16th August 2013 when I was travelling from Lagos to Port Harcourt. The topic was on the Jonathan-Amaechi face-off. My passenger-friend, I discovered later hails from Ijaw. In the course of the discussion, he said: “Ijaw is fighting for its own just like every other ethnic group is doing. No group would like to lose in a federation like Nigeria. To the Ijaw, we have Niger Delta. Niger Delta belongs to Ijaw”. I was miffed and I asked: “What about the rest ethnic groups in the Niger Delta?” His response became more fierce: “If the big three (meaning Hausa-Fulani, Igbo and Yoruba) could dominate and rule Nigeria, Ijaw can do same in the Niger Delta and in fact to me, the key agenda of the Ijaw should be to own the region.” Another source of this unwholesome Ijaw agenda to colonize the Niger Delta can be found in an advertorial by the Ijaw National Congress INC (an umbrella organization of the Ijaw Ethnic Nationality) on page 50 of the Vanguard of Tuesday, May 14, 2013. In the advertorial, the INC recommended a political restructuring of Nigeria into ten ethnic-based regions with the entire Niger Delta, excluding Effik/Ibibio, labeled Ijaw. The third source was from the article, “Boro and Jackson: Alliance across the Atlantic” written by Professor G. G. Darah and published in The Guardian of 3rd- 5th June 2013. In me, the article provoked the following issues: the continued glorification of Ijaw imperialistic tendencies and attitudes in the Niger Delta and some lessons from the Ijaw-USA alliance idea. Before I respond to the implications of these evidences, it is proper to state that, like other minorities in Nigeria, Ijaw’s grouse with Nigeria has been that it suffers marginalization, environmental degradation and development-neglect. These issues created the sentiments that had driven most ethnic agitations in Nigeria like the minorities agitations in the 1950s including the Tiv riots, the agitation for the creation of the Calabar-Ogoja-Rivers (COR) State, the Isaac Adaka Boro revolt of 1966, the Ogoni Revolution that produced the quintessential Ogoni Bill of Rights in 1990, the Kaiama Declaration of 1998, the Ikwerre Rescue Charter of 1999 etc. Even the big three ethnic groups of Hausa-Fulani, Igbo and Yoruba are also not happy with Nigeria and this reflected in the formation of the Arewa Consultative Forum, Biafra/Ohanaze Ndigbo and Odua Peoples Congress (OPC) respectively. Ijaw has every right to canvass for the creation of Ijaw Ethnic Region to comprise all Ijaw natives scattered across Nigeria’s Atlantic coastal belt; but it is wrong to call such creation Niger Delta (ND) because ND has been created already and it goes beyond Ijaw. This is where I have problem with the Ijaw imperial ambition. If Ijaw’s reason for such ambition has been as state above, then it must be cautious and indeed have a rethink. In the year AD 2013, is Ijaw still marginalized, suffering environmental degradation and development-neglect? This should not be the case given that Ijaw son is the President and Commander-In-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Ijaw has got Bayelsa State since 1996. Ijaw’s daughter is the Minister of Petroleum Resources, who should be in the forefront addressing all neglect and development issues arising from oil and gas business in Ijawland. Ijaw is in charge of over 70% of the amnesty windfall. Ijaw is in charge of the Federal Ministry of the Niger Delta Affairs. The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) is under the control of Ijaw. Put all these together one can say that Ijaw is already enjoying her full resource control! Yet the Ijaw still is canvassing to implement its imperial ambition in the Niger Delta as shown in the three evidences stated earlier. Let me remind Ijaw that in defining the Niger Delta, it was never meant to be Ijaw hegemony. From 1849 when it was part of the Oil Rivers to 1885 under Oil Rivers Protectorate and later in about 1897 under Niger Coast Protectorate, 1900 under the Protectorate of Southern Nigeria, 1906 under the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria and Nigeria in 1914, the Niger Delta was never contemplated to be an Ijaw colony. Even the ruling Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) political arrangement of Nigeria into six geo-political zones put Niger Delta in the South-South Zone and it was never carved out as an Ijaw’s exclusive entity. To be sure, even the Isaac Adaka Boro’s secession bid, the Ogo |
ikechu1278:dont dignify her with your response, she is an urhobo and confirmed igbo hater that lives in igbo land(ph). I heard that urhobo girls are very ugly, is that true? |
trapQ:people of your nature fidget when confronted with the truth. I thought you were shouting that ph is not igboland? You know that we have long rivalry situation on nairaland. So the long epistle was to cure you of your ignorance and acute paranoia of hipocrisy |
EUROBOMBER:pls dont invite him to my thread he is not needed here |
Legitbaba:but your ijaw brother barcanista started this. In as much as i respect you,you should channel your grievances to barcanista. He has been creating anti igbo threads on nairaland and liking anti igbo comments. He is the real tool of the enemy |
trapQ:sorry,stop being a hypocrite we know wher we belong if you interested in our unity please go to ohaneze.

After the meeting, resolutions were reached and we wish to state as follows; 1.That we congratulate the Rivers State chapter of Ohanaeze Ndigbo under the able leadership of Prince Igo Okparamma and the eagle-eye guidance of the leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo South-South and Deputy Secretary-General Chief (Engr.) Isaac Wonwu for a successful inauguration. 2.That the historic inauguration of the Rivers State Executive Committee of Ohanaeze Ndigbo signifies the actualisation of the life-long dream of the founding fathers of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Rivers state (such men as Senator Francis Ellah, Eze C.C Nwuche, Chief Emmanuel Aguma, and Senator Obi Wali) , which is re-uniting the Igbo of Rivers state with their kits in the South-East and Delta state. 3.We are overwhelmed at the resurgence of the Igbo spirit and bold affirmation of their Igboness by the Igbo of Rivers state, resulting in the massive and qualitative turn out for the event despite the heavy down pour. 4.We hereby call on those Igbo elements still sitting by the fence in the Rivers configuration to immediately identify with their true brothers; Ndigbo by openly identifying with Ohanaeze Ndigbo. Not allowing artificial geographical boundaries to continue to erode their minds of who they truly are. ? 5.Furthermore we demand that as a matter of urgency, the negative psychological relics of the Biafran war should be dismantled from every part of Igboland in Rivers state, with particular emphasis on the urgent change of name of the “Liberation Stadium” to either “Elekahia Stadium” or it be named after a “son of the soil” who have made his mark in the field of sports: This will appreciably bring to an end the sore in the mind of the people of this region who have been made to erroneously believed that they were “liberated” from their brothers during the Biafran War. 6.We re-affirm the resolve of the Igbo nation to ensure total oneness and reunification of every part of Igboland in Rivers and Delta state, not through any conquest by working in concerted synergy with our brethren located therein...

TonyeBarcanista:sir you are the one with low esteem and inferiority complex. We dont want ijaw,we dont want south south or niger delta republic. We are igbos south south is not an ethnic group. If you want an alliance please go and negotiate with 'ohaneze ndi igbo'. If you are not threatened by igbo unity why have you invaded this igbo thread even when it is stated that this is an igbo thread. www.chidiukwu.com/the-ikwerre-people-reaffirm-their-igbo-rootinaugurate-ohanaeze-ndi-igbo-river-state-chapter/ #IJAW STOP STOP ATTATCHEE BY FORCE# you people murderd obi wali |
