OfoIgbo: Actually, I expect Ibibios to be able to form a great nation. They have the right temperament for that. They gave Biafra some badass administrators like NU Akpan and of course Obong Efiong. If Ibibios further join up with Efiks, Annangs and othe Akwa-Cross ethnic nationalities with whom they share certain similarities, the nation will be very attractive. The only downside will be that Bakassi will be lost for good, as it will be easier to get with 10s of millions of Biafrans than just a few million Akwa-Cross people, but Bakassi is a small price to pay for ones self-determination.
No doubt Ibibios have more in common with Igbos than they do with Edo people, and even Ijoid people with whom they have common land borders, but still I don't see any obstacle if Akwa-cross people wish to join up with the Midwest to form a nation. But an SS nation will be too restrictive for enterprising Ibibios. An Akwa-cross nation will suit Ibibios and the other Akwa-cross ethnic groups just fine.
Norwichsailor: Give me theoretical explanation as to why you're thinking the niger delta is not possible without the igbos? Realistically the igbos are surrounded by enemies and pissing off the SS which is your only ally is not a sound strategy, I'm beginning to believe you're not even igbo sef.
Niger delta can never ever exist as a nation, Any adult who grew up in Nigeria knows this.
At best Ijaw, ibiboo, annang, efik, esan, urhobo, etc can form a very distant tribal based league of nation
Norwichsailor: Its impossible for ijaw,ibibio,bini etc to form a country but Nigeria with over 200 ethnic groups is a country. Some of u igbo chaps feel the world revolves around you meanwhile it doesn't. In niger delta almost everyone has sea access,oil, good land and infrastructure, ibibio/efik or ijaw which would be the largest groups can't still overwhelmingly dominate without support from several other groups unlike what u have here in Nigeria. Worry about ur biafra and let us worry about niger delta, know this and know peace. Besides u claim its only igbo land that connects us and thats crap, from the ogoja territory down to to ibibio land u can navigate without going through the se, now from ikot abasi the ibibios connect to the ijaw in obolo lga of rivers, as usual the ijaws own the coast from there through bayelsa down to ondo where they now border the bini,urhobo and esan by land. I've just gone from the two farthest points in the niger delta without going through even the igboid tribes in the ss so brother don't feel too much about urself
""Its impossible for ijaw,ibibio,bini etc to form a country but Nigeria with over 200 ethnic groups is a country.""
Wake up and stop this crap.
Nigeria was forced to become one country and both of us are clearly seeing the evidence as regards why such should never be tried.
Even the day amalgamation was signed in 1914, No single IGBO or eastern leader was present, we never ever wanted to be a part of it.
Nobody is agitating for niger delta republic because the over 20 tribes there have almost zero interest in it.
IF YOU ARE REALLY FROM THE SS, THEN U ALREADY KNOW BINI, IBIBOO, EFIK AND EDO CAN NEVER AGREE TO FORM A COUNTRY.
helinues: Or are there no indigenous Igbos in some SS?
All Indigenous IGBOs in SS & middle belt have a direct border with the 5 IGBO states..
Except Bonny and Opobo islands which are in the ocean, both are 70% IGBO and the official language spoken there is IGBO....Most indigens are bilingual too
helinues: The civil was was tagged Biafra war cos Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu and Emmanuel Ifeajuna are from old Eastern region which is now present day SS and SE..
If you don't the war to be tagged as Biafra war, then stop talking about any land in SS
Why are u skilled in baseless and false information??
The biafran far wasn't tagged Biafran because of Nzeogwu or ifeajuna
blues234: One of the core reason Ikwerre don't accept the Igbo tag is because of Biafra. Call them Igbo and see them tell you to your face they are not Biafrans. This is as a result of their hellish experience during the war. Ikwerres were refuges in mainland Igbo, and the experience was bitter. They came back to their land and experienced another marginalization from FG Ijaw backed Rivers state. This experience is not what you will want a repeat of. Funny enough, bulk of Ikwerre people fought on the side of Biafra, during the civil war. In a nutshell, forget Biafra. Go for a restructured Nigeria.
And who is interested in giving u a restructured Nigeria
Masterkernel1: We've never laid claims to South South, except when their leadership willingly agree, example is the Biafra Nigerian war. Some parts agreed while some didn't.
You can't force a people to a union it will end bad.
Biafraland is bigger than many independent states in Europe.
Every single part of SS (asides Edo) accepted n joined biafra willing back in the 60s
helinues: Except South South and South East merge together to form a country, I don't think any of them can get independent on their own
It get why
When old Western region and Eastern region was dissolved, Gowon the evil genius cunningly cut out majority of where concentration of Igbos are out of the border line.. I am not saying the indigenous Igbos in SS don't share border with SE but if you look at it in extension, you should get what I mean.
If SE people want to claim their land back,before they can get to where the concentration of Igbos are, they must have overtaken some South South land...
IGBOs have the man power, intelligence, unity and finance to leave Nigeria, It is actually the SS that does not have what it takes to leave nigeria.
Ur last statement is totally false, There is absolutely no need for IGBOs to take any portion of land from SS wen they want to recover the IGBO territories over there.
kollinzgee: Unless the country is restructured in less than 5 years i dont see Nigeria existing. i dont see igbos grabbing niger delta tribes by force but they will definitely go for the south south igbos from delta down to Rivers wether it is with force or with peace i dont really know how. igbos know southeast is small,and it makes no sense that that igbo speakers are ceded to the southsouth while southeast is not even as big as some states in the north.if southeast igbos lay claim to south south igbos no tribe in the Niger delta would interfere or wage war against igbos because it would be every man for himself and a family afair, when the time comes
30,000 km² is more than enough for a people to exist.
Lagos is 10% of the landmass of SE and yet 20 million people live in lagos.
it came to Yorubas as a huge Shock that some people did not know that Awori who only speak Yoruba and bear Yoruba names and have Yoruba institutions ,Originated from Ile Ife were Yoruba
The joint press Conference was for those who still needed to be reminded that the Awori are Yorubas
Bundaweber: make all of una wey be igbos stop behaving the way you guys claim the fulanis are behaving. land grabbers you guys are. the igbanke people prefere to be closer to their bini brothers than they are to you igbos
Leopards can't change its spot, home and abroad Biafrans are known for their vices. Shops burnt in calabar and bayelsa was that stupid " leg pulling mentality " taking too far just like the useless stunt they tried to pull in Uyo Catholic church and mechanic village Who will claim BIAFRANS when most embassies are now denying Nigerians base on tribe, ordinary Ghana they now do that. Why will I share a country with people that wanna be pulling my legs if they aren't insensitive and planning something with hidden intentions The word "fake" and proper Igbo's were words this Biafrans used to distinguished themselves not until recently they want to be mending broken fences AkwaCross rejected Biafra before and they will still reject it tomorrow most especially with this present class of Biafrans
No Yoruba Niger Deltans middlebelterns or Hausa man will claim to be Biafrans outside of Nigeria, that excuse is damn too lame
theophilusj31: I travelled to Benin City earlier last week,Just to chill with my bro that lives in Sakponba road Benin,Me being a jovial and open guy decided to chill with one of my old friend in Uniben,Omo as a sharp guy I decided to approach some Benin babes in uniben oooo,I approached some girls plus the my Real nigger introduced me to,So I was exposed to women in Benin,One thing about me is that, anytime I approach someone new one of the first questions I ask,is about their tribe and where they came from,I have this wielrd Interest in the ethnicity of people,But I observed something in Benin City,most girls that were igbos, Naturally I met more Bini girls than Igbo girls,but apart from bini,if I asked the the girl I met her tribe she will likely mention Igbo,It was surprising, because I knew that the Igbos are not indigenous in Benin City,like her neighboring delta state,with the anioma people, actually the tribe of most people I met in Edo state are binis,Followed by the Igbos b4 the Esans,the binis are just few people more than the igbos in Benin City,This is a state that not an indegenous Igbo state oooo,Ok I went back to sakponba to stay with my bro b4 I chill back to the southwest,I decided to start asking him about the tribe of most people I met in the area were he stays,I asked about his Neighbors,his friends and people I met on the street,to my surprise most of them binis with igbos coming not a distant second,I was amazed,and I told my bro why igbos are very many in a state that not even an indegenous Igbo state,my bro who have Travelled in most states in the south south,kogi state and benue state,Said that this common in many state he has being to,he doesn't understand why,My brothers and sis then I knew that igbos are very many in Nigeria ooooo
NOTE-not as if I did not meet people of other ethnicity in Benin oooo,Edo state very diverse,But I met more igbos
IGBO is the most populated ethnic group in Nigeria...And IGBOs are the most widespread tribe in Nigeria, they travel alot
Ctorch: Recent Survey Shows Anambra People are totally Against Nnamdi Kanu. We recently conducted a discreet and Internal survey in this state and the result was shocking to say the least. We gathered that the most vocal about biafra and Ipob issues are not even from the state, this was really an eye opener. The people themselves don't really give a damn about the whole kanu's issue as we established a kind of that's their business there.
Taking the survey with careful study we understand that when asked someone from these states as we profiled their state of origin about Nnamdi kanu and his biafra struggles
Ebonyi people will give an answer in affirmation, Imo will do the same likewise Enugu and Abia.
But immediately you asked the Anambra man/ woman people you will hear Kanu is very stupid, what does he know about war? He is just deceiving himself.
Now I ask, Is it that Ipob has failed to penetrate the state or the people are born naturally antagonist?
Christistruth00: This is the Joint Press Conference that the Awori Traditional ruler the Olota of Ota and the Ooni held to reaffirm that the Awori are Yorubas
Xscape1993: What has Mr President not done in this country? A man that made a retired army officer as Controller General of Customs. I doubt if that man in Aso Rock is indeed Buhari! I have not seen or witnessed all these happenings in Nigeria before ooo!
Stop deceiving urself.
There is nothing strange about Buharis moves since 2015, That's who he has been from time
Citizens suffer because they choose to be foolish, unpatriotic, selfish, greedy, filled with hate, uncompassionate and lazy.
The citizens become leaders, and elect there leaders in a democratic system, son they getting what they deserve.
If same citizens have been voting recycled politicians every 4 years, then why will you have to blame leader in this case. He was constitutionally elected.
**foolish, unpatriotic, selfish, greedy, filled with hate, uncompassionate and lazy.**
Are u saying that u are foolish, unpatriotic, selfish, greedy, filled with hate, uncompassionate and lazy??
