Waoo history about to repeat itself. May2007-October2007 Celestine Omehia -out- Emaechi -in.
Now, May2015 - October2015 Wike -out- Dakuku -in.

The only difference is that in 2007 Amaechi was the Speaker, while in 2015 no speaker because his election too is nullified so its a smoth slide for Dakuku. Lets watch how it finally plays out.

Why South South Nations Won't Join Biafra. South South nations will rather form thier Own Confederation or seperate Nations

Igbo are using the support they gave to Jonathan in 2015 election as blackmail to convert Niger delta struggle to Biafra. 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 benefitting from the current system. Afterall an IGBO man Gen Agunyi Ironsi created the Unitary System for Nigeria in 1966 that we are complaining against 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 days 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 were first 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 Sigapore. if Qatar and Sigapore 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 thier 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 3times 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, 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 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 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. 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.

a quote from Isaac Adaka Boro Autobiography (wriiten himself). Read Chapter 5 - Campus Politics
http://www.adakaboro.org/the12dayrev/chapter-5-campus-politics.
This was the campaign statement of his opponent for UNN SUG presidency:
"My opponent, Ejiogu, took the floor when I had finished, and what did he say? "Ladies and gentleman, this is a crucial time in Nigeria when we should not allow a vocal minority to rule an obvious majority.
These words still ring in my memory because, as my opponent put it, they are crucial not only to me but to my people, the Ijaws. Most of the alien students walked out of the hall and it seemed as if a spell was cast on the atmosphere. The campaigns ended solemnly and the result of the election was again one way. Ejiogu won with his majority. The last minute strategy. A Cameroonian friend of mine, John Ngole, promptly resigned his secretaryship of the Historical Society in protest."

I am very sure that Nigeria will divide faster if Igbo seek Biafra with 5 south east state alone and Niger delta republic seek a country with the 6 South south states alone at the same time. Once the Hausa and Yoruba sees that Igbo are supporting a Niger Delta republic separate from Biafra, they will see it as true struggle. But if the struggle is about Biafra with south south in it, where Igbo will gain south south resources with Yoruba and Hausa loosing out, I bet you until South South oil finishes, Nigeria wont divide.

We don't need to form a single country with Igbo, we can seek for our separate nation on two front simultaneously but not on one front.
What we need is cooperation from Igbo not togetherness with Igbo. If they truly want to leave Nigeria and liberate Niger delta people from dominant tribes, they should support us to form our nation as they form thiers. I bet you when that happen, the struggle will be half won.

The Ojukwu Biafra was Igbo dream not Ijaw, Esan, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ikwerre, ogoni, ibibio, etc dream.

In summary, my point is if Nigeria will divide peacefully by United Nations referendum, south south will not join Biafra. Peaceful division of Nigeria can only be into a minimum of five countries (Arewa republic, Niger Middle belt, United Niger Delta, Oduwa republic, and Biafra). South South will form its own nation/nations. The only way south south and south east will form a single country like Biafra is if Nigeria divide by War because population will be important in size of Army.

My Igbo neighbour may not like this submission, but it is the bitter truth

QuotaSystem:
Sokoto State's motto has never been 'born to rule'.

It's slogan/motto has always been 'Seat of the Caliphate' (Cibyar Daular Usmaniyya). Please don't spread this falsehood any further. Thank you.

HaneefahRN:
I'av been wondering, when Biafra finally comes to pass, is it not these same greedy fellows that'll lead them? Or will the people in a place change cos of a change of name?
I haven't met any ibo guys who shout Biafra up and down, it's only on Nairaland this is prominent. The Ibo traders in South west looking for a means to survive don't go about shouting Biafra. What really is behind the clamoring for a Biafra?
Anyway, if they want to leave, they shld o, I only pray this doesn't bring about another civil war.
If not for the fact that I av Ibos as friends and I know how they behave, the way some or even most Ibos reason on nairaland wld make some1 av contempt for the tribe. Many tribalists, ethnocentric and religion bigots

I'm a Yoruba man.

We all know d reason why Nigeria wants to hold on to south south is because of the resource blessing they have, same reason why Spain is holding on to Catalan and same reason why UK is desperately holding on to their brothers on the islet.

However I also believe the reason behind compulsory attachment of South south with biafra is the same reason why Nigeria is holding on to south south, this makes the Biafra struggle a fraud and greedy ambition.
I support peaceful sepration of Nigeria if need be but not base on this Conny, greedy, selfish, blackmailing and hateful way some pro biafrans are going about it.

What I v noticed with my little interaction with many Niger deltans and igbos is that an average Nigerdelta does not care which country they belong provided their right is not disregarded and substantial portion of their resources gets to them.
Therefore I can say that an average Niger deltans only care about equality, fairness and control of their resources. Give them all this and they are happy to be anywhere.

My interaction with Igbo show another pussle, they wants freedom by all means irrespective of what is on the table, they so much hates other Nigerians except themselves yet they benefits most from the unity of Nigeria, the evident is shown by claim of many igbo's that 50% of their population is outside south east.
They wants freedom which is normal, every body deserves freedom but they want it with their eyes set on other people's freedom and resources. It a known fact that they wants to dominate and colonise others, change history and the rest will be history. One of Politics section mod said something sometimes ago that " we have been able to dominate rivers, Delta and gradually dominating akwa ibom, we have replaced their culture with our own and majority now speaks our language. Why is it difficult to replicate this in Yoruba land, I guess they are not easy to dominate" my response to him was that " you can't dominate poeple who have a larger population than you and you can suppress the culture of people who is at par or probably better culture than yours" that debate gave me a hint into his mind which may be what is on so many people mind as well.

For me I support Biafra based on genuine reason like south south, not the Biafra that is born out of hatred, greed and selfishness. I want Biafra that is based on single identity, true freedom for all and the one that will lead to better friendship and cooperation among other separated nations.
That is my opinion.

May God bless Nigeria and what the future hold for us.

why are they worsening global warming?? if they wanna protest, first step is close down all their businesses in any other state other than theSE states, stop using Nairaland (since its owned by a yoruba), and better still move to the east and stay The Fvck there.

Following the arrest by DSS officers of Nnmadi Kanu, the director of Radio Biafra (UK) Ltd, on Wednesday 14/10/2015, in a Lagos hotel, we at CUPS decided to investigate the corporate history of Radio Biafra Ltd. What we discovered is amazing.
Our investigation shows that despite the fact that Radio Biafra Ltd has been operating, and Nnamdi Kanu has been collecting hundreds of thousands of pounds or even millions from misled donors around the world, his company Radio Biafra Ltd is still registered with the authorities as a DORMANT company. A dormant company is an inactive company that is exempted from paying taxes. Here are some more facts that we discovered about Radio Biafra Ltd:
1. Radio Biafra Ltd is a dormant company as of 31/8/2015.
2. Company registration number is 08635030.
3. Company was incorporated on 2/8/2013.
4. Company has only 2 shares, with each share worth one pound.
5. Company Director is Mr. Kenny Okwu-Kanu. Born on 25/09/1967. His address is given as: 30 Sandlings Close, Pilkington Road, London, SE15 3SY.
6. Company Secretary is Mr. Alphonsus Uche Okafor-Mefor. His address is given as: 44 Crispe House, 72 Dovenhouse Mead, Barking, Essex, 1G11 7EB.
Our investigation also led us to a key witness called Chioma Amaryllis, who was the former PR Coordinator for Radio Biafra. She produced a startling video, posted on Youtube, in which she alleged that Nnamdi Kanu is a fraudster and a fake. In her testament, she alleged that Mr. Kanu is misleading gullible Igbos around the world by collecting huge sums of money from them to sustain his playboy lifestyle. She further alleged that Mr. Kanu is the company director, treasurer, and accountant of Radio Biafra. He is in total control of all the money coming in.
By all accounts, Mr. Kanu truly is a fraudster who has been breaking UK company laws and evading tax. He is also a traitor who has been using the Radio Biafra platform from London, under the aegis of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to incite hatred, violence, and unrest in Nigeria. This is the reason why the DSS arrested him. He may be charged for treason.
Fellow Nigerians, equipped with the above facts, we are now in a position to ask the following pertinent questions: What kind of friend is Britain to Nigeria that this vermin is allowed to break British laws, and use British soil to undermine the corporate integrity of Nigeria? Is it not sheer hypocrisy driven by sinister motives on the part of the Police and MI5 that this criminal is allowed to operate with impunity? I am writing this blog from London, and I dare say that millions of Nigerians at home and in Diaspora need answers from the British authorities!
Finally, while writing this blog, we received an anonymous tip that the DSS has supposedly asked for N50 million as bond to release Nnamdi Kanu. Some gullible Kanu followers in UK and Ireland are being mobilised to raise this money. This could be another 419 scam to defraud scammers and traitors. We will investigate and report back accordingly.

ArodeTsolaye:
Go and read the english of Catalonian #freeCatalonia speech against the spanish. You'll know that Nnamdi Kanu is the most peaceful brand of all agitators. IPOB will witness more sign ups.

Everwhere in the world, there are limitations on freedom of speech. It is not absolute.

There are hate speech laws in Britain where Kanu is coming from and in most parts of Europe.
