Yes oh!! SS and SE are two DIFFERENT geopolitical regions and that would NOT change.

sCun:
Guy, you people are making a mistake again.
We can cooperate with ourselves politically and economically without forcing ourselves to be one. We have to give others the recognition they deserve, no need lumping ourselves as one.

ezeagu:
Respect difference, but it seems some others want to see the east suffer because they decided not to follow the leader so to say, a united east will be the only sensible response.

IGBOSON1:
^^^Pray, what business has a Yoruba with goings-on east of the Niger? Why get so emotional over talks of cohesion in the old eastern region or our forming a common front to face shared challenges or pursue common goals? I just don't get it!

Instead of being satisfied with your APC/Buhari win and continuing with your victory party and gloating, you're busy getting threatened and worried over south east and south south talks of political and economic integration.....i don't get it! Your post is dripping with frustration, hate and bile.....and you could do yourself some irreparable mental damage if you continue along this path! What i find curious though is that absolutely no one from your ends is calling for the dissolution of this shithole of a country.....you despise Igbos with an all-consuming passion yet you don't want to live without them!

So what if Igbos are demanding for Senate presidency and the FCT minsiter slot? Are you saying that because we supported GEJ (which we'd gladly do a million times over) that we shouldn't make our own demands on the in-coming gov't? Is the in-coming gov't going to be one just for the Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani or for the entire country? It's for us to demand and for Buhari/APC to reject.....simple!

You really need learn how to mind your business mate!

olapluto:
The greed of Igbos is showing its head again. You guys want to claim SS? so as to lay claims to their oil?
Anyways, I have long come to a conclusion about Igbos.
1. They are bluffers. Someone with a small shop selling 2nd hand cloth will claim to be the one feeding his billionaire landlord because the landlord buys rags for his househelp from the seller.
2. They are very very greedy and covetous. e.g Lagos was Yorubaland pre 1999, but once Lagos was improved by Tinubu and Fashola, the influx from the East started. Now they are laying claims to Lagos, even wanting to replace the Oba with an Eze. Give an Igbo a room in your house, and his plans will be to take the house from you.
3. They are not strategic, just lousy noisemakers. While others are planning for the future, Igbos will be gloating and abusing them. When the future comes, Igbos will be the first to line up for the goodies. E.g loss of senate presidency, wanting to be FCT minister, even currently laying claims to APC success.
Now the SS is their brother. The same SS they were ready to wipe out in their ill advised war of 1967. I can bet 99% of SS people want to form their own identity. In the last election, the SS had more voters than the SE, so why should the SS lose its identity to the selfish Igbos?

phantom:
OP..... come to PH and say this nonsense! Whatever you see you take.

yemaldo:
So no more south south again? We can now call them s.east,I pity the ss people very soon the ibo people will claim ur land,if they can go as far as claiming Lagos and Abuja then their neighbour shouldn't be that difficult

Jk210:
Another region about to be labelled "no man's land"

Battle ground shifting from Lagos to SS

This seasonal movie is gonna be interesting to watch

aresa:
...but is it by force to keep doing attache ni?

They don't want you and they never did, they just used you to elect Jona and keep jona in office..

We don't see folks from SS posting all the silly attache nonsense, only SE folks. You people need to stop this open and shameful display of low self esteem, insecurity and no sense of worth and identity.

kayode27:
@ op

Please all these are not necessary. Let peace rain.

abduljabbar4:
Then stay at home and live together. Simple

Ozin:
Don't cry for us...we are far better of with our igbo brothers than any tribe in Nigeria

LasgidyPort:
Loads of crap. The geopolitical term SS emanated from the SS leaders themselves some years back in the 1990s and not from the 60s as fraudulently posited by u.

They themselves wants to be clearly differentiated from the SE. Just the same way the NorthCentral states wants to be differentiated from the core North. I don't see the coming and now the departure of GEJ changing that.

Scorpiow:
Very soon the ss identity will be lost with the ibos, while they come back here crying 'marginalisation.'

spellingcheck:
It all English, because that is what i speak everyday.

spellingcheck:
your first sentence just proved why English is first and every other comes second. You can take Igbo as your first Language, that is your problem. if you are to apply for a job in an English Speaking country, I swear you will tick English as your First and official Language.

spellingcheck:
Anyways i got no time for this, i need to prepare overnight for my new job.

spellingcheck:
English is our first and official language sir, every other comes second. Nigeria cannot afford another crisis if we decided to use hausa, igbo or yoruba as our first language.

Lets embrace the truth sire

spellingcheck:
when you write your project or company report to your boss, don't forget to include 'abeg' and post this link underneath as a reference.

gbosaa:
Op is crazy. Spyder880 can build me a nice 5 bedroom duplex for a little less than $75,000.

Enugu is the place to be. Spend two weeks in Enugu and your life will never be the same; food, weather, accommodation, gym, sweeeet umu nwa with succulent ukwus from UNEC, Esut.

spellingcheck:
Mother tongue or not, English has come to stay. Mother tongue is the problem we are facing in Nigeria today. Think about Nigeria with only one General Language? hopefully 'mother tongue' will fade away. 'Pigin' or Correct English will be our General Language.

spellingcheck:
hopefully you don't think 'abeg' is English

The number one murdering machine on the planet? That must explain why all of my Nigerian collegues have come here. They must want to be murdered! Wait until I tell them this. I think not. We made an example. If someone is going to harm our people on our soil firstly, then they deserve to be invaded. Super power of the world sounds more familiar. Are your people guaranteed jobs after college?Are the poor people still able to have proper housing and food on their tables every night? Do you have electricity 24 hours a day? Electricity was first discovered in the place that you call the murdering machine. For all of the prisoners being stripped in Guantanamo Bay, continue to strip them on since they had no sympathy for the lives that they took from others. I don't have sympathy for murders, child molesters, and drug dealers. Better yet, lock them up and throw away the key. There are probably more rapes happening in a country that has no strong judicial system, such as yours, and I'm positive the rapists are just walking around. If someone murders or rapes you in America, the police will be to your house instantly. Obviously, the military isn't properly trained to handle terrorism in your country and that has already been confirmed. I have many Nigerian friends that I have met in college and they all plan to stay here because they feel safer and they have jobs, something they didn't have back home. Trust me, CIA have better things to do than walk around in country where they aren't even wanted. That level of thinking is what will keep your country in the developing stage for years to come because any country with politicians in their right minds know that they can't exist without the help of another strong country. I'm sure your politicians think this way, too, and if they continue, Nigeria will be the next North Korea, a country with so much potential, but choose to seclude themselves and get left behind by decades.

I'm done here.

rdokoye:
USA never gave Nigeria billions of dollars, what are you talking about.

USA used to purchase Nigerian oil; they don’t anymore, end of story.

No one is asking USA to come to Nigeria. USA has offered on many occasions to station troops in Nigeria, but the Nigerian government has refused. The problem is USA policy prohibits American soldiers from working with militaries that have been accused of human rights abuses, that’s why their involvement in the Boko Haram issue has been minimal.

And for why USA should be concerned with what goes on in Nigeria. Well Nigeria has the number one economy in Africa, with the largest population and the biggest potential.

vanunu:
Nigeria is a criminal nation, while they allowed northern cameroon to secede, they killed 3million igbos for attempting to secede. Murderers.
