Sanchez01:
That you, a loner, aligns with the SE for their struggle does not mean the SS would align with them. I'm a Niger Deltan and I DO NOT endorse one Lower Niger. The last elections showed you were on the same page by rigging in Rivers, Imo and Edo.

This is not by religion. The struggle is personal. Let the SE remain and keep their dream alive but know the Niger Delta and the entirety of the SS is NOT a part of their struggle.

you don't speak for the SS and Niger delta.
I'm a Deltan, I endorse the Lower Niger.

disumusa:
we ss are not igbos please

and neither are you Igbo nor from the SS.

No one cares about an Igbo president anymore.
It is the Lower Niger, we yearn for.

Ilekeh:
And you think you speak for the SS/SE?

No, that's why it is only sensible that a poll be held in the SE & SS to determine the fate of the Lower Niger, as it was done in Scotland to determine if they remain with Britian.

generalissimo:
Blockhead, why ranting on social media And who is trying to stop u U guys are !d!ots and clowns at the same time. It's only u Igbo lowlives that are crying wolf here. Just let Rochas or Roaches, Amaechi and all those well established and well-to-do Igbos hear u with ur social media illusion, na amadioha dem go take swear for una. Mumu

I won't stoop so low to insult your entire tribe, but you in particular, is a total simpleton and an slowpoke wrapped up in one.
You say it is low income earning Igbos that are pushing for self determination. Is Ohaneze Ndigbo an organisation headed by low income earners?

Simpleton, You still haven't said why you are so desperate to be in the same country with the Igbos you so much hate?

generalissimo:
You call it intimidation That exposed u as a stark ignorant like ur ancestors who led u to be slaughtered and fled. Yet u regard them as heroes. I've never seen a tribe so lacking in intelligence. Yorubas have no problem with Nigeria. It is often said that it is the loosing side who always want the match ended soon. LOOSERS!

it is you that is the simpleton, you have reduced a unique (but far from perfect) union to a simple match, where someone loses while the other wins.
Get this clear, this is not 1967, A people's right to self determination and self rule can't be trampled on.
But is it by force to be in the same country with you? I dont like you, you dont like me, na by force? why should we be together? Answer!

Ilekeh:
Always trying to drag Yoruba into your wahala. You guys know you aren't going anywhere until Yoruba gives you the permission.
But to punish you ingrates, we will keep everyone in Nigeria.

first of all, you don't speak for your tribe.
Secondly, you can't be said to be punishing someone when you are also getting the full dose.

She is silently nurturing her fan base in other west African countries.

misterh:
How about the reporting about him sentencing a woman to death?

Did Buhari not sentence a woman to death?

NDPVF:
[s][/s] Do you think you care for our good?.And you voted Buhari over Jonathan so that your masters up north will continue the exploitation of our resources?. Well,leave that to us.we av' mapped out policies to ensure fairness and equality among all the would be federating units.#Ebot.

I'm Delta Igbo

misterh:
I only watched a lil part of the documentary. From what I gathered, AIT mocked Buhari's dead child in the documentary. Is that acceptable? They also said Buhari sentenced a woman to death by firing squad. Further findings prove this to be false. In fact, it reached a point that NBC told AIT to stop airing the documentary. Moreover, Buhari is the custodian of the residence, doesn't he reserve the right to bar someone from entering it based on "family & security issues"? It is not as if he banned AIT from working. He's got no such powers now.

Untrue, Buhari's daughter died from sickle cell anaemia and that's how AIT reported it.

Azo:
are u an idiot? Are u saying i dont have d right to tell a journalist to stay clear from my hnme family nd my event? Who are dis morons dat cnt reason just cos dey are 'fool' of hate?

If Buhari cares so much about his privacy, he shouldn't be in politics.

cy4cent:
Thank you, you said the truth.

But the SS will benefit most from this.

In this lower niger, the regions not only will head themselves but will stand a higher chance to produce the leader for the country.

disumusa:
my ss people disasociate your self with igbos, my father said soo

Your Father was timidated by the north.

A divided south can not drive home its interest.

Why don't the Yorubas disassociate themselves from the northerners too?

cy4cent:
Only the S/E don't have a right to speak for the S/S, you can't ask me not to speak on a matter that concerns me, while the S/E has been going about dragging them into their personal issue.

like I said earlier, those that want to join are free to join you guys, but those that don't want to join should please be left out of this issue, in peace.

Does that amount to speaking for the "whole" S/S?

I think it is the SE that is itching the most for this.

cy4cent:
Thank you!!! Abeg help me ask them, All we see on Nairaland these days is S/S n S/E, why are they trying hard to tie themselves to S/S?

pls those that want to join them can join from any part of the country, those that don't want, should be left alone in peace, biko!

You don't speak for the SS, just as the SE doesn't speak for the SS, but I know the the SS would not refuse to rid themselves of the north.

I don't want this vibe to die down.
The northerners are drawing everybody back.
It won't be a bad idea if the Yorubas join too with their no man's land.

Will the Ibibios agree to this? Yes
Urhobos? Yes, yeye northerner Ibb made Asaba capital instead of Warri
Ijaw? Sure banker.
Rivers? Yes
Southeast? Yes
Edo? Emmmm, convincing needed.

The south east should push for fg to organise a poll on whether we stay in the country or not.
With all the history and 'legitimacy' of Britain, Scotland was allowed to decide if they stay or not, talkless of a country formed by slave traders.

vincent72:
When they where silent for 5 years, can you tell me what happen in the north, is it not boko haram, they use to torment Jonathan, ? Am sorry for buhari, he will see hell, the militant, will torment him. Also am sorry for innocent soldiers that will die .

No, that is not going to happen.
It will either be regionalism or peaceful disintegration.

kindnyce:
GUYS,NIGERIA IS BIGGER THAN THIS CHEAP THREATS AND BLACKMAIL

NO GROUP SHALL OLD THIS COUNTRY TO RANSOM,NEVER..

Nigeria is its people and not the union that was orchestrated by slave traders.
With all the history and development, Britain has, the scotts voted if they were to remain in the union or not.

amakaobiemeka:
Its bar not ban. Its just a decision to freeze out ait frm covering his activities which he has a right to, he hasnt stopped them frm airing what they feel abt him. Its a way of punishing mediocrity, stupidity, impunity, no regard for rule of law people, nta case is understandable as it was in gej willpower, but ait just like channels or stv had the chance to play journalism with ethics and protect all sides and not give another excess priviledge but it did, the common man was bruised and raped its firm with the fg at their mercy. This is a signal to those who would rape our rule of law again! Mods laslastica pls fp so dummies can knw why

AIT should be our last concern, it is not them that are to run the affairs of this country.
It is Buhari's seemingly unchanged hate for free press that is worrying.
GEJ never barred Sahara, by Buhari taking this move he is already taking things for granted and the people should show their displeasure.

This man has not even been sworn in!

Na one chance be this one o.

God gave me freewill over my decisions, I don't ignorantly think there is a script for me to live my life, I don't think there is only one true love for me, I can make it work with so many women.
I just pray to God as I make my decisions.


This whole bad omen thing is annoyingly superstitious.

This malik, he is the bad brother.
No shame, see as e dey fall him hand.

Asaba is technically the first capital of Nigeria.
In 1830, the Igbos captured the Lander brothers, british explorers that landed in Asaba.
The Royal Niger Company had to move from Asaba to Calabar because of the Ekumeku resistance.

jerryunit48:
Really hits me hard ," igboid " Asaba speaks the same like onitsha even isele - uku and even ukala, pls. lets stop using this words when it comes to Asaba

even part of Onitsha speak exactly like Iselle Uku. I have to say Igboid because Ndokwa and Ika have unique dialects.

grandlexuz:
Thank you for the informative piece. I do mostly hear of Asaba in Nigeria films. Something about Manyi Asaba. The woman with the breast that gives riches.Lol. It sounded more like an Igbo town to me. From your write I bet it is save to say Delta State has a sizable Igbo population. You didnot mention Ijaws as group in Delta. Are they not a major tribe in Delta State?

Anioma has more than 33% of the population in Delta, 9 out of the 25 LGAs, the Aniomas comprising of Aniocha, Ndokwa, Ika and Oshimili speak igboid languages, Anioma culture has Bini influence.

My Grandma told me that when the current Oba of Benin, Oba Ereduwa was being coronated, the efigie (traditional staff of authority) needed for the ritual was no where to be found, probably looted by colonial robbers. A replica efigie was gotten from Iselle Uku an Anioma kingdom.

Ekstraz:
Who your Biafra help?? Go sell spare parts abeg

who has Nigeria helped too?

tracyorez:
If shooting nollywood movies made it a big city then those thick villages in some states that they shoot most epic movies are also cites just because nollywood movies are involved right?hun!.I am talking about infrastructures and development and I havnt even mention oil wells.
Please if you want to argue or convince me,be practical with examples.

Lagos was used for movies those days and not Ogbomosho, and these movies were not village films, this showed that there was healthy development that was in Lagos and not in Ogbomosho.
But these film makers left Lagos for Asaba, why? Because lagos was saturated and congested as Warri is.
Unlike Warri, there is no tribal strife in Asaba talk less of actual fighting.
Asaba is comfortably close to the 3rd or 4th most economically important city in Nigeria, Onitsha.
Asaba was capital for the pre colonial Royal Niger Company.
The crime rate in Asaba does not even come close to that in Warri.

literarymathy:
For all intent and purposes, I may as well be an Anioma person. There's nowhere I stated in the article that I am against the location of the capital or that I'm an Urhobo person. Please be careful with accusations. Look at my previous threads and see my pattern.
