@bold...look who's calling a guy 'biitch' ...you see how du.mb and stu.pid you are? Even a primary 3 child knows that men do not go on heat, only females do. Rather, let me be the one telling you you are the one ranting all over this thread like a biitch on heat. Maybe after 7 days when your heat is over you'll come back to your senses. Du.mb hoe.

Here, let me educate you like a toddler on what bit.ch means. Numb.skull

What a wasted crude little illiterate savage, i used a comparative tense LIKE, u behave like a biitch hence the name also suits you too. Anything can be likened to anything in the world of languages. And when i mean languages i mean international languages not like the one you speak in Ohafia.
I can see that you are now empty, hence no direction on where to channel your lunacy.

I swear, no Igbo guy wants your dirty putrid goodness. Spare those lies for the gods. At the end of the day, Igbo guys look east for a wife. They marry their beautiful Nkechi, Chinyere, Adaugo, Adaora etc., majority who are consistent winners of ms Nigeria beauty contests and at the same time best graduating students in universities home and abroad? Igbo women effectively combine beauty and brains, both of which you do not even have. Why should any sensible Igbo guy leave their beautiful and intelligent damsels for some du.mb mgbeke hoe like you who cannot even speak English properly? You no reach half of my beautiful Igbo sisters jare. If you dare to prove me wrong, upload a picture of your aging face let the whole world see. Old hag. Stop consoling yourself unnecessarily. Akpa njo.

See this monkey, igbo intelligent beauties like Afrocandy and Cossy Orjiakor right? or those igbo girls with hairy chests and hairy yam legs?

No igbo girl can be more beautiful than the only Nigerian and first black African to win the miss world Agbani Darego (an Ijaw and proud SOUTH-SOUTH woman). WInning local beauty pageants alone are like a competition on which girl can sleep with more directors and producers and we all know that is where igbo girls specialize.

See Mercy Johnson, just one middlebelt girl in Igbo dominated nollywood and see the kind of fame she ate in nollywood and she set an example to all by being a wife, a mother and still a very succesful actress unlike people like Rita Dominic or Genevieve who are on international runs levels with no responsibility, spinsters at 40. I'll pass.

Go and ask your governor in Imo state why his father married a Jos woman.

bigfrancis21:
This du.mb hag is still here arguing about Kannywood when Nollywood is the 2nd largest movie industry in the world? Old woman, is your old age hampering your ability to reason effectively

Despite all your empty hypings of Kannywood, the average Nigerian does not even know that Kannywood exists in Nigeria. Meanwhile, the WHOLE WORLD, I mean, the WHOLE WORLD knows about Nollywood. You are very stewpeed indeed. Repeat after me, Ah yam very stew peed. Lmao

For your information, I live in the United States. Before I left Nigeria in 2013, I went to several states in Nigeria and got exposed to different tribes and customs. When it comes to exposure, I am 10 times as exposed as you'll ever be. Schizophrenic bi.atch.

Now, for your viewing pleasure below. Do grab some popcorn and tissue and console yourself as you digest the images below, old hag.

Meet 'Nollywood': The second largest movie industry in the world

If not that your psychology works like that of animal specie, you will not make comment like you have done here. You say the average Nigerian does not know about Kannywood, who is the average Nigerian? Are the people of the 19 northern states of Nigera excluded from your definition of Nigeria? Or does Nigerian definition defines only your peeps in Isi-alangwa?

You claim the whole world knows about Nollywood, so i asked you to list the number of Golden globes, Oscars, Emmys and other international entertainment awards which nollywood movies have won and all you can do is screenshot unknown websites from unknown actors. Miscreants are always miscreants and nothing can change them. Reprobate.

Curlieweed:
While I believe some of us here are granting an Igbo toga a bit too cheaply to some undeserving groups, I do find the logic in your statement here somewhat intriguing.

Regarding the highlighted, how can Anioma be one when some groups deny being Igbos while others accept being Igbos? Logically, in my opinion, its either you're united in not being Igbo or you're (as mostly likely) the case not united at all.

cc. ikechu1

Anioma remains one because we have been living together as one people for ages before the british came and the british never met us or our kingdoms as igbo kingdoms and we never adressed ourselves as Igbo people rather we adressed people from across the Niger as Igbos (according to what my uncles told me).

Igbo identity issues is not enough to divide Anioma people because the identity IGBO of today itself was a British creation to encapsulate all the tribes who speak a similar language to the original IGBO people who had that name somewhere in the east just like Yoruba was a name meant for only Oyo people originally but the british later used it to define all the tribes who speak a language similar to Oyo. All these are colonial influences and are superficial.
This is why you can never see Anioma kings arguing with themselves on igbo issues because the need does not really arises.
The only thing that can divide Anioma people is if all Ika or all Ukwuani or Enuani kings agree that their subgroups should be completely pulled out of the Anioma identity and they make a public declaration and then cease from attending Anioma meetings or anything that has to do with Anioma identity and start redefining themselves. That is the only thing that can make us independent of each other of our joint identity, nothing else, not even igbo issues.
And even among we the Enuani people, every king can only speak for his own kingdom, the Asagba of Asaba for instance can only speak for Asaba kingdom, he cannot speak for the whole Oshimili let alone the whole Enuani, not to talk of Anioma as a whole, so you see why seperation is something that would be very difficult for us?

henribj:
young lady, you should be the one ashamed. you should be ashamed of yourself for displaying your ignorance on NL. Are you not aware of 14 years old girls being involved in prostitution(it matters not within this context if they were forced into it or if they are into it by their own choosing)? Do you really know the definition of prostitution? Or you think prostituting is only when the girl stand for road or for BADOO ?

If you had any brains in that coconut u call a skull, you will know that in advanced countries of the world with a more functional legal system that it is a very big crime for you to sleep with an underaged girl as an adult, with or without her consent. That is nothing but child molestatiom before the law.

bigfrancis21:
genieluv, so you've taken your dementia to this level? You use one account to display your ignorance and you log in with the other to console yourself and praise yourself? Apparently, on one was liking your posts, except for some dirty hor.ny old male pig, so you decided to hide under your fake moniker to praise yourself like you got game. Du.mb hoe.

Who wants to partner up with a devil anyway who only knows hate and seeds of discord?

You are such a fake schizophrenic woman. Your writing styles for genieluv and spicyjosbabe are just the same and you are such a du.mb bi.at.ch that you could not effectively disguise yourself under this fake moniker. Old putrid hag. Lmao

So, is this all your disfigured cranial organs can offer?
I tot you had some intellect upstairs to challenge facts? Why haven't u challenged any more facts?

Moronic addlebrain. I already have enough igbo guys am snubbing on my list of toasters, and you are way below their class for me to even think of, i don't do futureless derelicts and street urchins, jobless urchins who are always on social network 24 hrs for display of madness and tribal extremism or shoot and practice victims for the army.

SpicyJosBabe:
OMG, genieluv dear, so you are still battling these guys since that day?
Men are you an amazon of a woman , well 4me i'd say you should take a chill. You are too much to be wasting your time on these IPOB children of hate, we know them everywhere and their bottled up souls of frustration, embitterment, despondence and self-inflicted pain.

You are totally brain dead. Kannywood that cannot even boast of being popular within Nigeria itself that you are hyping? Visit any area down south and mention even the most popular Kannywood actor or actress and see if anybody will know the person. Kannywood that does not belong to Nollywood and yet Nollywood, an Igbo empire, is still number 3 in the whole world. This woman, you are a disgrace to all women in general. Your type will stand up and argue with men because you think you know but your knowledge of subject matters is totally superficial and lacking. Totally ignorant you are.

You have been ranting all over the place since like a biitch on heat, with nollywood so much, ok can you tell me how many igbo actors, producers or igbo movies have won Golden globes, Oscars, Emmys, Grammys or any world entertainment award? Since you claim they have recognition in all planets and galaxies of the universe.
When we see touts and street thugs ranting, we know them.

bigfrancis21:
If Kannywood is indigenous, Nollywood then isn't indigenous right? Nollywood which is number 3 in the whole world, surpassing the movie industries of China, Spain, Russia, Britain, etc. and what have you and ten times larger than Kannywood is a foreign industry right? For the umpteenth time I ask you, are you always this du.mb?

Biitch, if your cerebral hemispheres, your cerebrum and medulla oblongata were intact you will know am talking of movies and a movie industry that promotes indigenous African languages to the whole world and not some bleached skin igbo bitches who fake accents and expose their tiger-stripped stretch mark ass in the name of acting.
The largest indigenous african language movie industry is non other than Kannywood.

bigfrancis21:
The US does not recognize Dangote's money as legal. Infact, US outlets such as wikileaks and USA Cable revealed the scam and special government assistance that supported Dangote's money making scheme, that is if you ever read the website I sent you at all. I am sure you do not know what wikileaks is and what they do in the world. Ignorant old woman making noise like she knows but you are a num.b skull.

Oh, the US doesn't recognize Dangote's wealth? so why do some American companies partner with him? Do you want me to list them here for you? Just one example, Dangote co-sponsors some African programs on CNN (the most popular and number 1 American news station and in the whole world), i even watched one today on CNN. So WTF are u talking about?
Forbes is one of the highest ranking American magazine and in terms of classifying people of fame and wealth, they do recognize Dangote, so what else do you want?

Besides is America the United nations or the judge of the whole world? Do all the other countries of the world deny Dangote? Does the united nations deny him?
Do you have any brain in your coconut head at all? Are your cerebral hemispheres intact?

And so? If a white woman decides to feature in Kannywood, what's so special about that this, ignorant old hag? Several white men and women have featured in Nollywood movies and even in Igbo movies too but we do not make a hoot about it. There is BBC Hausa because majority of Hausa speakers tend to be not as educated enough as the Igbos or Yorubas to understand English enough so they created a channel in Hausa to be able to reach these people. Nothing really special about that. My friend currently serving in the North says language barrier is a big issue in the North for him, even Pidgin English the people do not understand so he resorts to using body or sign language to communicate with them. This is the main reason, superficially-reasoning old woman.

Schizoprenic and deranged nincompooooo!
The fact that you have never left Mbaise or Ohafia once to move round Nigeria and other countries of the world is no one's fault but your miserable, dejected and down-trodden family and their misfortune. Only a bush Ngwa man like you who was born and spent all his life in Isi-alangwa will talk like that.
Kano, Kaduna, Abuja, Zaria, Jos e.t.c are among the most populous and largest states, cities in Nigeria and as long as anyone is concerned, Hausa language has the largest number of speakers in Nigeria and West Africa and Kannywood has the responsibility in reaching out to them all. Over a hundred and fifty million people.
The fact that you don't know this is as a result of your callowness, obtuseness and shallowness. What a crude little savage.

The British, Germans, French and Chinese also have Swahili, Arabic and Amharic speaking radio stations to reach out to the millions of these language speakers all over Africa, now tell me, are Igbos more literate than all the arabic, swahili and amharic speakers in the whole of Africa that the Europeans have to broadcast in their languages? This is how you miscreants embarass yourselves everywhere.
Face it dimwitt!
Hausa is an international language and that is why they have been accorded that status and recognition by the Europeans at the same level with other African international languages like Swahili and Arabic. A cheap scoundrel claiming to know something when he knows nought.

Yes and in terms of seeing things differently, foolish people would be entitled to seeing things in their own foolish ways. It does not mean that such foolish views should be celebrated.

U seee !!

True igbos, the enlightened and succesful igbos are very very proud to be Nigerians and to associate with Nigeria, not like those societal misfits, scoundrels, derelicts and thugs who call themselves IPOB or Biafran whatever looking for where to heap the blame of their individual failures and misfortune.

Jerrosky1986:
Abeg that girl is a wayward girl. How can three men raped her on different occasions. Abeg Na the girl dey give dem .That girl is lying she is a prostitute. Her mother also is wayward for not being able to take care of her daughter

Exactly, igbos are the problem to themselves.

Odua Clement Ofuani toed the same line of argument, saying that the fact that Anioma people share the same lin­guistic affinity with the people of the South-East does not make Anioma land part of Biafra territory.

“I am sure a lot of these agitators were probably too young at the time of the civil war or were born after the war. So they need to do some research to see the area that was Biafra when Ojukwu constituted it, and he never included any part of what is present day Delta State. We share linguistic affinity with the South-East, that is clear, but in terms of this geo-political struggle, Anioma people are just not part of Biafra.

“There has been a continued effort to carve out our true identity and one that we can be comfortable with in all ramifications culturally, historically and politically. I am sure if you go to Rivers State, the Ikwerre people will tell you that they are not Igbo and there must be a reason for that even though the lan­guage from all intents and purposes is Igbo. If you also go to parts of Ndoni, they will also tell you that they are not Igbo even though they share linguistic affinity with Igbo.

“Our heritage of linguistic affin­ity with Igbo as an ethnic group is not questionable but whether we share the same political direction is a completely different issue because before the colo­nialists came, we ran independent na­tionhood, they did not meet us as Igbo nation, they met us as different groups of Anioma Kingdoms running their own independent affairs and dealing with their neighbors both culturally and in trade and commerce as they deemed fit. So you cannot wake today now that you are creating Biafra and incorporat­ing Anioma into it, that is not correct.

“During the war, there were families that got caught up, one brother wearing Nigerian army uniform, another broth­er wearing Biafran army uniform and they all met in the war front. This hap­pened, unfortunately, mostly to Anioma people. So you could say that there has never been that unanimity of opinion about our identity but a number of peo­ple having studied what is in our best political interest have come to the realisation that our interests are best protected as Anioma nation and not another definition that anybody may seek to impose on us.

We are Anioma people and we will relate with any other ethnic group in the way that we consider it of interest to us as Anioma people whether it is the South-East, or South-West or the North.” ple having studied what is in our best political interest have
Besides, a socio-cultural group for Anioma sons and daughters at home and in the diaspora, Ndi Anioma of Ni­geria warned pro-Biafra agitators to desist from including Anioma in their territory.
Ndi Anioma of Nigeria, in a statement jointly signed on behalf of Anioma nation by Lauretta Onochie, Emeka Esogbue, Gloria Adagbon, Emmanuel Nwaokolo, Smart Ajaja, Frank Ofili, Benson Ozour, Harris Pen Ogbolu, Lawrence Egwali, Gregory Ogbolu, Ifeanyi Onwuli and Fidelis Chimokwu, noted that Biafra died permanently in 1970.

“Like most observers who followed the nature of Biafra in 1967, Ndi Anioma is of the view that Biafra died perma­nently in 1970 with the surrender speech made by Philip Effiong in which he emphatically stated: ‘Biafra ceases to exist’, following Col. Emeka Odimegwu Ojukwu’s escape to Ivory Coast.
“In spite of this circumstance, a few resentful people of South-East origin are attempting to exploit a non-existent opportunity to make the present democratic dispensation ungovernable.

“But for posterity, Ndi-Anioma must make its position clear thus: Anioma has never been part of Biafra in history or administration. For record purposes, Anioma was first situated in the Western Region, then Midwestern Region, Bendel State, and now Delta State in the South-South. We cannot for any reason afford to be forcefully strong-armed into any region, outside the region within the South-South geographical zone.
“Henceforward, the representation of Anioma in differ­ent maps of Biafra does not and cannot amount to Anioma being part of Biafra. That can only be in the figment of the imagination of desperate irredentist adventurers who cre­atively made such maps to satisfy their thirst for empire-building. They may make Anioma to exist in their maps, but the world must note that it does not have our consent as we reject that tag vehemently.

“Nnamdi Kanu is not familiar with Anioma region and we cannot remember any contribution he has rendered to­wards the growth and development of our region. We can­not also remember him attending a mere social function of Anioma people to warrant our people to die for him.
“Frequent announcement that Anioma is part of Biafra on Radio Biafra is far from being a favour because we are not prepared to be drawn into any situation that may threat­en the territorial integrity of Nigeria, nor to prosecute any war. Anioma is Anioma, not Biafra,” Ndi Anioma stated.
Besides this stand, is the position of the traditional ruler of Asaba, Asagba (Prof.) Chike Edozien who insists that the unity of Nigeria is no longer negotiable after the frat­ricidal war that claimed several lives including Asaba na­tives.

Stop dragging us into Biafra, Anioma people of Delta tell agitators


INDIGENOUS People of Biafra, IPOB and its twin organisation in the struggle, Movement for the Ac­tualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) have been at the forefront of the agitation for an inde­pendent state of Biafra in recent times.
They have as a result come up with a proposed map of Biafra territory wherein Anioma land of Delta State is included.
But Delta State Governor, Dr. If­eanyi Okowa who hails from Owa- Oyibu in Ika North-East council area within Anioma land, disowned the purported map, insisting that no part of the state was in Biafra territory ab-initio.
“We have criticized Biafran agita­tion.
Anioma land, as it is, from here we are part of old Bendel State, we are part of the Mid-west State, we have not been part of the South-East, so obviously, we cannot be said to be part of them.

“We may speak a similar language but we are not part of the South-East. We were part of the Mid-west which was later Bendel State. We are now Delta State and we are Deltans,” Okowa told journalists in Asaba.
Buttressing the governor’s point, Ogbueshi Paul Oliko of Umuagu quarters of Asaba told Saturday Sun that Biafran agitators who are claim­ing that their territory extends to Ani­oma land were misinformed by their leaders.
Oliko whose father was killed dur­ing the civil war, explained that during the war “what was declared as Biafra was the current South-East region. And when the war got to a particular level, our area here from Asaba to Be­nin to Ore was declared as Republic of Benin (ROB), we were young men at that time. There was no time Ani­oma was part of Biafra.
“There were two republics that were declared, Ojukwu was in charge of Biafra and when they declared ROB, it was Col. Nwawor who was the head with Benin City as headquar­ter. All Anioma including Warri were all involved at that time before the federal troops drove them away from Ore, Benin, Warri and pushed them to Asaba. We had the Asaba massacre before they ran across to the original Biafra.”
Oliko while applauding Governor Okowa for dissociating Anioma land from Biafra however, noted that the governor should have done more to prohibit pro-Biafra demonstration in Asaba, which has been a hotbed for the protesters in recent times, just as the governors of Rivers, Cross River and Akwa-Ibom did for the cities of Port Harcourt, Calabar and Uyo.

According to Oliko, “I think it is the weakness of our government that is making them to be using here for demonstrations. Our government is trying to play safe and it does not help anybody. Our governor was not bold enough to ban such demonstrations.
“The governors of Rivers, Cross River and Akwa-Ibom have made pronouncements prohibiting such protests. There are no more demon­strations in Port Harcourt, Calabar and Uyo because the governors are no longer tolerating the agitators.
“The towns may be in their (Biafra) map when they were still a small com­munity, now they are all enlightened. Before, Effiong used to be Ojukwu’s deputy but the people of Calabar where Effiong came from dissociated themselves from the agitation.
“So, the current Biafra is a land locked area, Igbo speaking South- East, it has nothing to do with the South-South. Our governor men­tioned it but he never gave the police order to stop them from doing their demonstration in Asaba.”

In a timely message to dispel claims of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPDB) that “Anioma Nation in Delta State belongs to Biafra Republic,” he equally decried the move to scrap Maritime University, Ekerekoko, Warri South West, LGA. With this the governor has delivered a serious burden of leadership.

Okowa also stated that despite the corollary or similarity in language does not make them same because of the contiguous geography. He said, “Biafran agitation, we have criticised it. Anioma land as it is said, from here, was part of Bendel State; it was part of Midwest Region.

We were never part of the South East and obviously we cannot be said to be part of them. We may speak the same language, but we were never part of the South East. We were part of the Midwest; we were part of Bendel. We are now Delta State and we are Deltans.” It cannot be more emphatic than this.

We are now Delta State and we are Deltans.” It cannot be more emphatic than this.

At the Conference of Ethnic Nationalities of the South-South at Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, this week, South-South leaders dissociated themselves, their ethnic groups and states from Biafra. Ethnicities represented include Ibibio, Efik, Anang, Ijaw, Itsekiri, Urhobo, Anioma, Ikwerre, Oro and Isoko. They stated,

“We will not allow any inch of the land of the ethnic nationalities mentioned above and other lands of the South-South to be part of the ill-thought-out enterprise.

“We call for a halt to demonstrations for Biafra on our land henceforth as it touches on the collective sensibilities of our people and could provoke ethnic crisis.

“We are not only surprised but shocked that Igbos who returned to Nigeria after the fall of Biafra in January 15, 1970 with tales of woes and horrors can talk about Biafra.”

They added: “It is in the interest of Igbos that Nigeria is protected as they have more investments outside their homeland.”

South South Niger Delta will never join biafra

Igbo are using the support they gave to Jonathan in 2015 election as blackmail to convert Niger delta struggle to biafra. Niger delta struggle is resource control and true federalism. This deception will not work. They only supported Jonathan because they got alot of appointments under Jonathan. They are just selfish and greedy people. Niger Delta Struggle is completely different from biafra agitation. Igbo supported Obasanjo against thier own son and hero Ojukwu in 2003 election, they should go and claim yoruba instead.

As far as I am concern Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa are all benefiting from the current system. After all an Igbo man Gen Agunyi Ironsi created the Unitary System for Nigeria in 1966 that we are complaining against today. Gen Agunyi Ironsi set the foundation for the destruction of regional federalism in Nigeria. if not for his love for total control and domination (The disease of an average Igbo man), Niger delta would have be enjoying 50% resource control today. When Isaac Adaka Boro wanted to form Ijaw Nation Republic in 1966 it was Igbo Head of State Gen Agunyi Ironsi that fought him with a 12 day war.

The Igbo claim to be one of us because some South South states were part of the old Eastern region. First of all, eastern region was created by Nigeria for Nigeria convenience. It was not a decision of the nationalities that made up the old eastern region. Secondly before most people forget, today Edo and Delta state were never at anytime part of eastern region. Edo and Delta states were first part of Western region later became Midwestern region, then change to Bendel state before becoming Edo and Delta state today. Some tribes speak Yoruba in Edo and Delta state. Why is yoruba not claiming Edo and Delta state the way igbo is claiming Rivers and Delta states because some people speak ibo in those states?

Igbo may have succeeded in brainwashing some South South people that they are one of us, it is a big lie. They may have succeeded in brainwashing some of us that only hausa and yoruba is the problem of South South, it is a big lie. They are the same as far as I am concern.

The problem with Igbo is greed, self-entitlement and born to rule, control and exploit mentality. Qatar is smaller than Bayelsa in population and half d size of Bayelsa state by landmass. Bayelsa is four times the size of Singapore. if Qatar and Singapore can be a country, why cant we have an Ijaw nation as a country? Do u think Ijaw people dont want to be like Qatar and enjoy their oil alone like Qatar does? Note: Bayelsa State is d smallest state in the south south by population and second to the last by landmass!!


Below is the size of south south states and south east states. South South is almost 3 times the size of south East.
Yet the population of South east is almost 80% of south south population base on 2006 census. But by the time you add igbo who are currently leaving outside south east, you will discover that thier population is more than all the south south put together. More than 90% of the resources (oil, gas, limestones,etc) are in the south south. The whole of South East is landlock with no direct access to the sea or atlantic ocean. but almost all the south south states have direct assess to the sea and atlantic ocean. Some will say they have River Niger. River Niger is not a sea or an ocean for big Ships.

Tell me why South South Nations will want to form a country with south east if they have a choice ? all south east will bring to the table is population and domination? The total oil production from south east is not up to 10% of south south oil production!

If you are the leader of south south nations will you advice them to form a country with south east if they have the option of forming their own country alone? give a sincere answer!!

As far as I am concern, as unbrainwashed south south , there is no difference between the Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. To me, these are three major tribe struggling and fighting for Supiriority. Whenever any of the three is loosing, he shout marginalization.

During Jonathan govt, the Igbos were gaining and were in control and were happy. The Yoruba were losing and were shouting marginalization. The hausa/fulani were not happy because they were not fully in control. For the North we can slightly understand because in the 16years of democracy (May 1999 to May 2015) the south ruled 13.3years while the North had just 2.7years

The Igbo don't love south south more than the hausa or Yoruba love us. All the three tribe are all struggling for the control of south south oil. None of the three is better than the other as far as we south south are concern.

The only place south south nationalities agree with Igbo is Nigeria should divide . However while south south clamour for succession is base on lack of true fiscal Federalism and resource control, on the other hand, igbo clamour for succession is base on IGBO BORN TO RULE, CONTROL AND EXPLOIT MENTALITY. Igbo make noise and claim d north have born to rule mentality because of Sokoto State former licence plate motto of born to rule which they have change. The People with the true born to rule mentality are d Igbo. it is because they are not having thier way that they are complaining and making all d noise all over Nigeria.

But how and why Nigeria will and should divide, what we want and what they want is as different as d distance of the earth to d moon.

South south want resource control or thier own freedom. we will support Biafra as Igbo only nation while they should support us to form our own nation or nations. But trying to add us as an appendage to Biafra will never happen.

If south south join Biafra, our individual identities will be wiped out in less than 50years. They will convert every south south nationality to Igbo. And they will so much take charge of the oil and resources with reckless abandon without any regard to d minorities.

LET EVERYONE FORMS HIS OWN NATION IF WE CAN'T GET 50% RESOURCE CONTROL. SOUTH SOUTH NATIONS DONT WANT IGBO, YORUBA OR HAUSA IN THIER NATION. WE DONT WANT ANY DOMINANT TRIBE TO CONTROL US IF OR WHEN NIGERIA DIVIDE.

They will argue that there are some igbo in rivers state, delta state and edo state. As far as i am concern Igbo speaking people in south south will join Niger delta republic or confederation. Their are Hausa people in Niger, there are Yoruba people in Benin Republic and Togo. Does that make those yoruba and hausa speaking people in those countries Nigerians?

The south south nationalities can form a confederation with United Arab Emirate template, where seven different nationalities came together to form a confederation with each nationality having some form of autonomy.

if the south east want to join the confederation they can join. We can't leave nigeria and go and form another normal single country were there is a dominant tribe. That will be moving from frying pan to fire.

Just like the United Ararb emirate asked qatar and behrain to join them, but qatar and behrain choose to form thier individual countries.

What Biafra represent is a single country with a powerful centre where a dominant tribe can control. South south dont want that. If we must fight or struggle for succession, we need a new name like "United State of niger delta" or any other name which clearly shows a union rather than a single country.

We need to set the record straight before south south nations make the mistake of south Sudan. It is more than Four years south sudan left
sudan to form thier country. Since that time south sudan has been in War while North Sudan enjoy peace. This was because nations in
south sudan came together to form a single country without ensuring that thier difference in ethnicity was fully discuss. Some
part of south sudan are now feeling marginalized. That is exactly what will happen if Igbo succeed in forcing south south nations into
Biafra. That so called Biafra wont have peace. It will be another Somalia!!!!

For peace to rain let Igbo form Biafra from the Five south east state and let the the six states in south south form a confederation or seperate nations. Anything outside this will never work.

I do not hate Igbo people. Many of my friends are Igbo. I only hate thier deceit and greed. what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
What we dont want is a dominant tribe simple. If south south join Biafra, that country will be 60% Igbo. How do you think other minorities can compete in that kind of country? Whether we like it or not we both know that Igbo are not diplomatic people by nature. That will lead to complete extinction of other tribe. in less than 50years they will make the whole Biafra Ibo without any consideration.

I dont hate Igbo. But i hate when i know the Biafra they seek is a Biafra with current south south as an appendage to it.
Why cant they support our freedom, and we will support thier freedom. Why do igbo make it look like it is wrong for Niger Delta people to seek thier own freedom outside Biafra? In biafra current south south minority will be like conquered people. God forbid that to happen.

Sick bunch of disgruntled and disillusioned miscreants called igbos with misplaced priorities. Only leeches are always looking for people to attach to.

We pray for Anioma state, yes, but even if we get it, it will never be merged with the South-east, we will never join a region full of miscreants and children of hate, we rather remain in the south-south zone with the Edos and Deltans we have been used to from the begining.

You guys can wail for all you want.

chukzyblingz:
you don't know Jim ovia. Jim Ovia was the 4th richest Nigeria from Forbes ranking. A position he retained for many years. Jim ovia is a philanthropist. He has made his mark and no longer pursue wealth as vigorously as he used to. I see some similarities between ovia and Bill Gates. They're rich but they're not one of those rich men that loves money more than anything else. Elumelu, Okonjo, Utomi, Obaigbena, Irabor, are all great men. We don't lack great men in Anioma land. And we don't compete between ourselves. there's mutual love and respect in Anioma land. Anioma is not even up to a state and some shameless people here are comparing us to the whole SE that's 5 States.

Don't mind all these useless and disgruntled igbos. They should keep on wailing day and night for people to join them. They think they can divide Anioma with their madness, they forget that blood is thicker than water. Ika, Ndokwa and Enuani remain one from now till forever, whether some of us deny igbo or accept it, it will never change us from who we are and where we pledge our number one allegiance to.

Why are girls so foolish ??
Do you see what your fellow ignorant girl wrote ??
She wrote "There are other menial jobs"

Doing P.O.P isn't a menial job ?? What other menial job was she talking about ?? Opening her legs for 5k ??

You should have inquired of her first to know her point before insulting her pls. Thats the way civilized people act.

Kai, imagine only one woman dealing with all these priority misplaced Igbo men.

My bloodlines are not failing me afterall, My anioma people have descent from the great Bini kingdom and My Idoma people have descent from the great Kwararafa kingdom.
