The Op wants to pit the Ijaws against Urhobo/Isoko/Itsekiri/Edo. It’s not going to work. The Ijaws do not own the coastline of Delta State. I’m very sure the writer of this article is Igbo.

SenatePresdo:
We Niger-Deltans will not gree.

The Enemies will not Succeed, we are too United to be Divided.

You mean, we Bini people will no longer have access to our Niger-Delta oil?

We the Good people of Niger-Delta rejects it.

Niger-Delta is one and indivisible.

FreeIgbos:
Taa getat, you bingo!
Between me and you who is crying? I'm enjoying the development because it's what I have always said would happen.

You ijaws claim to love ikwerre so we dash them to you, including omoku. I wish you guys good luck.

Ibom and Ijaw republics: What it could mean for other ethnicities in the South South post Nigeria.

Part 1
The sudden announcement of an Ibom republic was quite frankly unexpected. And expectedly it sent shockwaves throughout the Southernmost areas of the country. While many were still reeling from the shock lightening struck twice with a follow up announcement from the Ijaw ethnic body stating the desire to pursue an Ijaw republic should Nigeria go the Yugoslavia way.

Prior to this time the de facto stance amongst people in the South South region was that the area would secede together. And though there has been no process or move by concerned ethnicities to consolidate that position, it remained the consensus, and most proponents argued strongly to the affirmative whenever called upon.

Therefore the announcements by two member states of the zone to pursue their respective independent nations came as a rude awakening to many. Consequently any hopes towards a South South country is in jeopardy and also, the need for some critical indices to be reconsidered and reaccessed across board has now become apparent. One of such indices would be unrestricted sea access.

In a South South country as desired by proponents sea access was the least of concerns. And understandably so. This is because any such country would have had more than half of Nigeria's 853km of coastline to itself. And good harbor locations. Added to this, any such country would have already in existence 4 working ports in Onne, Port-Harcourt both in Rivers State, Warri Port in Delta state, and Calabar Port in Cross River. Hence sea access was never a debate on the front burner. Till now.

Going by this recent announcements, if such countries were to be carved from the South South territories this would leave some erstwhile comfortable tribes feeling uneasy. On the Northwestern end of the South South are the Benin in Edo state and the Urhobo/Isoko peoples in Delta state. With an Ijaw republic owning virtually the entirely coastline of Delta state, the aforementioned groups would find themselves effectively landlocked. Pix attached below.

Had the Urhobo/Isoko and Benin being in the same country as the Ijaw as was the de facto arrangement (NDR) this situation wouldn't have come about.

It therefore stands that any would be country to be formed by the Benin and Urhobo (if any) would need to sail through Ijaw territory. A situation that may bring about complications.

Added to the issue of unrestricted sea access, as plans for a NDR go out the window, the aforementioned groups as well as others are now weighed with the task of finding new allegiances. Here, age long historical and cultural ties come into play as well as sentiments of similitude and kinship. Other noteworthy considerations would be demographic factors.

For the Urhobo/Isoko they may opt to merge with the Benin peoples as one country. Pix attached below.

Possibly with the Itsekiri tagging along. The basis for this union would be on a historical and cultural basis. In the Benin situation they have the options of joining the Urhobo/Isoko and Itsekiri to form a nation as early highlighted, or they opt to join Oduduwa republic westward.

"Is this another example of US freedom of the press where if DC doesn't like what u say, ur domain is seized? (sic)," tweeted American-born Press TV host Marzieh Hashemi.

So the Iranian can't have freedom of speech in peace? And same USA will be going around preaching freedom of press/speech.

Jeezuzpick:
Twitter is a social platform where INDIVIDUALS, INSTITUTIONS, BUSINESSES AND GOVERNMENTS place information and make their positions known.

It is also regulated and offensive tweets taken down.

These websites are run by biased people and created for the purpose of putting out their own biased information.

Will they regulate themselves and take down their own offensive posts?

No.

So, the comparison isn't really based on logic and reality.

If truly the government is serious about the falling Niara, they should make innoson cars the official cars of the senate and house of rep. Even to state house of assembly.

Then we will know they are serious.
