FatherOfJesus:
This post is going to assume that Ondo, Abia and IMO state are not part of Nigerdelta, however for purpose the name they call it, Nigerdelta republic, I’m sticking to it.

First of all, I’m from Rivers state, specifically Omuma, an Igbo speaking part of rivers state. Personally I think Nigerdelta republic only exist on paper and will most likely not come in to fruition. The diverse nature of the region is stable because it’s under Nigeria, if Nigeria splits today, Nigerdelta will cease to exist.

There are so many tribes in that region with different agenda, we Omuma would mostly like want to join my kinsmen rather join another multiethnic wahala. In Nigerdelta, groups do not agree, the Nigerian Government is trying to foster peace in the region just for the purpose of oil and gas exploitation by using all means including settling traditional and political leaders against our people. I do not think for example, Ibibio and Efik people really want to be in a sole country with IJaws and binis, these tribes hardly share anything in common and forming another country will be another Nigeria-like chaos. In essence, we in nigerdelta, we know that we cannot agree and it’s laughable that IJaws are trying hard to push for another overly multi ethnic nation.

The best bet for Nigerdelta is for Nigeria never to split however If happens to spilt, forget it, no nation can come out of there. It will all come to a matter of alignment and negotiations, the fate of Nigerdelta is that it will split further to aligning with Biafra and oduduwa republic and some might even join Cameroon. Each group in the region will consider their short and long term interests, they will be lots and lots of negotiations and even forceful land ownership.

We in Nigerdelta know this, don’t let us deceive ourselves.

Niger Delta is real estate in Nigeria without any statutory significance. Its significance only exits in the figment of imagination of certain dumbass fools in the shithole called Nigeria. Most deluded ninnies in the southern Nigeria have not realized Niger Delta is a term used by political scammers.

chrisxxx:
Op you have said it all. But the Ipobians will come for you. Your exact reasoning was that of Azikiwe and why he insisted on One Nigeria.
It is all in favour of the Igbos. However when they were in top just before independence and a little after the independence they wanted One Nigeria. But immediately the power shift in 63 and there after they don't want it again.
You can't have your cake and eat it.

Please expatiate on the bolded. I guess you did not fall the victim of goofy history of Nigeria.

Rossikki:
I don't know how old you are, but I can assure you that people have been projecting the 'imminent' collapse of Nigeria since the 1980s.

Nigeria is a VERY resilient country, and often gets to the precipice, but it NEVER collapses, because there are too many interests, here and abroad, that will fall with her. And those interests are not bad people alone. Good people too. So forget it.

Those interests are the 'foundation' you say Nigeria lacks.

They will ensure that the federal govt always has the wherewithal to maintain the territorial integrity of the nation, regardless of who is fighting who inside the country.

It is very funny your stream of thought engenders the need for medical help. Who amongst silly daydreamers looked for "Imminent collapse of Nigeria since the 1980s"? Nigeria is faced with serious armed insurgents who seemed fit to raise havoc. Boko Haram is a legitimate force. The bandits and unknown gunman are capable of staging serious and surprise attacks on anything including military installation. If the silly leaders of Nigeria will be foolish enough to aggrieve the IPOB and IPOO to join the wagon of armed insurgents, the Nigeria shall be a glorified historical fact.

Rossikki:
Some folks think the Biafran cause is advanced the more they see news of Kanu and IPOB in western media.

Wakey wakey....

International publicity of 'Biafra' means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

It is even an indicator of worse to come for the South East, in terms of insecurity, if care is not taken.

This was exactly the same way 'Biafra' was publicised in the western media in the 1960s.

Ojukwu was the toast of the world media, giving interviews to major western news networks.

Prominent Igbos like Chinua Achebe went abroad to play influencer roles as per Biafra.

In the end, what happened?

Biafra was crushed.

There is nothing to suggest that the support the world gave for One Nigeria against Biafra back then, will be any different this time.

Until you people understand that the world does not want NIGERIA to be dismantled, you will keep wasting your time in conflict.

Forget oyinbos for a minute.

The entire black world, including America's powerful Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People), Black Lives Matter, et al, ALL lobby the US govt to ensure the stability of Nigeria, which is regarded by the global black intelligentsia as Africa's and the black man's ONLY hope for a future black superpower on the Earth.

They, as well as international investors, are well aware that Nigeria is projected to become the 3rd most populous nation on Earth after India and China by 2050, making it a veritable world power and a world investment and industrialisation magnet of the first order.

Major international companies are already conducting multi-million dollar research on how to thrive in the Nigerian market in coming decades.

Indigenous businesses here in Nigeria do NOT want a breakup of Nigeria. Because they KNOW that that will cut their market.

Today they have free access to a market of 210 million people, which a splintering of Nigeria will reduce to 30 to 40 million, if they're lucky.

So why will they support breakup?

Go to INNOSON and suggest to him that Nigeria should break up.

He will chase you out of his office.

Same as any manufacturer in Nnewi or Onitsha, or Awka.

Or go and say it to Chief Allen Onyema, CEO of Air Peace, West Africa's biggest airline, which is now competing with Ethiopian Airlines.

Air Peace became West Africa's biggest airline just by operating within Nigeria.

Now they're expanding to Europe, Jamaica, India, Australia, America, based on profits they made by operating within the Nigerian airspace.

I mean, come on.

What are we talking about?

The money men and businessmen of Igboland are 100% aware that their prosperity and continued business expansion are directly tied to their free, steady, uninterrupted access to the Nigerian market.

And they know that such access is only guaranteed by the South East remaining part and parcel of the Nigerian family.

So the stakes are too high, both locally and internationally.

Money makes the world go round.

Money talks and bullshit walks.

Nigeria is going nowhere, and there will be no Biafra, unless via some sort of Divine Intervention.

As always on this forum, your figment of imagination tends to play silly tricks on you. As of 29 May, 1967, Biafra never existed as country or even suggested anywhere in world as country. A person wonders which period in 1960s when Biafra was publicized in the western media. If Biafra ever made the news in western media in 1960s, it was during the period Biafra was fighting for survival. This time a ground work is laid and templates formulated. Nigeria will not see peace if Biafra or Republic of Igboland is not actualized. Who gives a artass if the world does not want Nigeria to be disintegrated. May I ask on whose interest?

DubaiLandLord:
How is a Yoruba man stopping an Igbo man from leaving Nigeria?

Are you this forgetful? Yoruba danced and rejoiced how they stopped Ndigbo from breaking away from Nigeria in 1967. It was celebrated Owambe-style in the entire Yoruba land. Awolowo was held beyond human hero.

blamingthedevil:
Why are Igbo Leaders afraid of Wike.... expecially Ohaneze, Peter Obi , South East Governors....why are they afraid to criticize him whenever he is going against Igbo interests, freedom and rights.


Why do they always remain mute and silent....later on they will be visiting him, dancing and singing.

You can never see influencers from South East criticize Wike , no matter what he does to their people....they will rather divert to another topic.

There is no Igbo leader who is afraid of Wike the Bini boy. However of the people you regarded as Igbo leaders also termed Wike as Igbo son. There is a saying if someone wants to commit suicide, a long rope should be given to him\her enough to assure his\her suicidal tendency is met. Wike is on a suicidal path.

Karlovych:
Resources from the south keep getting used to develop the north that contribute nothing tangible to the country, may thunder continue to strike Lugard's skeletons for establishing this fraud.

Please do not pure all the blames on poor Lugard. There was opportunity to recycled Nigeria in 1967 yet the goons who are up in hands today refused and sheepishly followed the crap called One-Nigeria because of their inherent hatred on Ndigbo. The funniest thing is the silly shout of Niger Delta everyday on naialand.

Ammishaddai:
Our government is truly clueless. How can you be building a gas installation in a place that's overrun with insurgency? Anyway, another waste of resources is uploading

The structure will never see a drop of gas. Where will the gas sourced? I hope the plan is not to source the raw gas from Niger Delta or southern Nigeria? If Lagos and Abuja cannot be restructure in the defunct eastern region and midwestern region respectively, it is safe to say disintegration of Nigeria is the sure best thing.

Tinubuadvocate:
This kind of reckless statement not new to me like I said I'm not new to Nairaland. But I'm not here to attack anybody .

Why did you open a thread requesting to be welcomed on nairaland? Is it the second or third welcome? Most Nigerians are very funny with their line of reason.

rummmy:
an okrika man from okochiri once told me that ikwerre people are igbo people that came for trading and decide to settle on the upland part of Rivers State and decided not to go back...the riverine people ignored them since they only prefer to dwell around water areas.

You were told the wrong narrative. Please ask Ijaw about the "Boat people". It Ijaw people came through the creeks and watersides to buy farm products. The so-called Ijaw people were given lands by Diobu peeps to settle instead of living on the boat.

A delusional coward such as Chukwuma Dike can never be leader of anything Igboland talk less of youths.

Chidex50:
Currently in Owerri, touring between Imo to Aba, no useless checkpoints on the road. And everywhere is peaceful. Leave the people that are wishing others insurgency

The citizens have cried out loud about the unfair treatment received from the hands of Nigerian paramilitary units which mount the checkpoints. Fools such as the so-called Senate President did not extend a hand of help to his defenseless people. The cause of insurgency is the behavior of the idiotic government and its agents. I would not mind if Nigeria burns to pieces.

Boldness is the only thing which sends shivers down the spine of a tyrannical government. Until most Nigerians pick up arms and decide to change the craps in Nigeria, nothing will ever change.

The term, restructure, when used by Nigerians equals useless. The economic landscape of Nigeria is all needed for restructure. There must be Lagos in defunct eastern region and Abuja in defunct midwestern region. If this simple restructure cannot be met, Nigeria should be disintegrated. Equity is about the restructure.

Nigerian paramilitary units are moronic tugs and should not receive any form of support from the US.

sanctity454:
Am sure they have power trimmers, and men are employed also, it's a new office, I hope they will get other equipments listed above with time.
I don't like the idea of turning our city to concrete jungle, the same reason why I hate lagos but loves Abuja

This is a complete hogwash. Since you are sure of power trimmers, could you name one? With time is absolutely no time. This equally shows lack of plan. For any fool to think Owerri in greenery instance, the first things to assemble are workers and their tools. The seeds and seedlings are very secondary. This is typical of African man who wants goodies but cannot put plans together for them.

They're not Igbo

Please shut it already. Yoruba is a thing of yesterday. I remembered Kiriji vividly and it was not a Yoruba show.

Nigerian army is bunch of incompetent fools. If a constituted authority such as the army with overpaid so-called intelligent personals cannot even fathom who were the gunmen, a person wonders how the peasants are expected to fish out gunman who may have come from Republic of Niger. It is on record that most of the bandits and gunmen are imports from Republics of Niger, Mail and even Chad.

Any idiotic attempt by Nigerian army to massacre innocent people of Konshisha Local Government Area in Benue State will lead to a war. You are warned. No country has ever survived two internal wars.

sanctity454:
I humbly disagree, they are over 200 women employed to plant and maintain greenery, if not for anything, but to keep those women engaged and improve the ecosystem

Please expatiate on this plank. I hate short measures without adequate plan on our ability to do. Only 200 women and no men employed to maintain greenery of Owerri town. By the way, do they have motorized and pneumatic vehicles and power trimmers? What of crushers for the cutoff tree branches? Even the sweeping of the roads must be mechanized.

Hadle:
I'm posting in this section because the education section is not helping me out—it is less active.

Please which good science course has English, Maths Chemistry and Physics as the Jamb subject combinations?

I chosed Software Engineering at first, but I am hearing that the course is not well treated in this country. So I am thinking of choosing another course, please help me out. I really need your help, because I'm so confused right now.

Please make yourself clearer than shown on the post. Most of the Physical Sciences and Engineering disciplines have English, Maths, Chemistry and Physics as major subjects not electives.

Monogamy:
You should have asked the guy where he got his own fabricated statistics from...

Tell him to provide a credible source to back this up... And don't tell me wikipedia cos it can be edited/modified

You and ilk are professional book cooks. Your people are good at manipulating figures and even words.

OfoIgbo:
So there are 9 Igbos in the top 15 richest Nigerians.

I didn't expect that

So Igbos truly dominate the rich table. Total domination, in spite of all the economic sabotaging that has gone on against Igbo businesses.
Ibeto could so easily have been the richest Nigerian if not for the sabotage he constantly gets from Nigerian governments starting from OBJ to the present.

The other ethnic groups are left with the remaining 6 spots, while Igbos alone have 9 spots. Wicked

And to think of the fact that below these super rich table, are the Coscharis and the Innosons and the Chikasons of Igboland. Truly Igbos are by far, the richest ethnic group in Nigeria. I don't believe (or don't remember) I have ever made this statement, but this table is screaming this loudly.

Yorubas 8.9 billion
Hausa Fulani 16.6 billion
Igbo 22.7 billion

Bear in mind that the 17.7 billion ascribed to the Hausa/Fulani is heavily government-aided. Dangote and BUA will be nowhere without government help. Actually, Yorubas ought to have more than the Hausa/Fulanis, so the 22.7 billion ascribed to Igbos speaks volumes about the Igbos, who have been most undermined by the Nigerian system.

Truly IGBO AMAKA

Hausa 11.7 billion
Fulani 4.9 billion

AtikuNetwork:
Hmmm. Yoruba youths should be careful not to allow themselves to become tools in the hands of swindlers that would push them to destabilised their region, like ESN is being used in the SE.

Please shut your putrid mouth. SE is not destabilized and it is a welcomed idea for people seek out of the shithole called Nigeria. Why are you so terrified to stand alone with your people as a country? Are you are perennial free loader?

NigeriaIsZOO:
Can't trees and flowers be planted at the sides and median?

Talk is cheap!!! Planting of trees and flowers is the easy part. The main difficult part is maintenance. The trees and flowers have a very good chance to overgrow and constitute another safety hazard for road users. I suggest solid cementing and what should be done afterward is sweeping.

Franzinni:
This is systemic ... It is a script and those soldiers that died are just the inciting incident.

It is a script ... I employ you to go on youtube and watch all the archive videos on the biafran civil war ... There was a script that was used to play on emotion and gullibility.

It is a script ... The army should please locate the criminals that did the dastardly act and not be tempted to go the ODI route ..

It is a script!!!

I guess in your figment of imagination, you concluded Nigeria is capable of locating anything talk less of branch of the society which is completely incompetent. Army which takes pride in killing citizens it should have protected is worse than a peasant army.

thebosstrevor1:
Those killings were carried by ipob terrorists.

Who gives a ratass if the killings were carried out by IPOB, Terrorists, Bandits or Boko Haram? The main focus is Nigeria must go down in flames.

iaamxavier:
Lol, I don't know if I should call you myopic or not? Do you realize that there are Igbos outside the south east in large number?
Are you using the South east as a standard of measurement for our total population and voters prowess??

Mennn Afonjas, I thought y'all sophisticated?

Bro do not pay mind to delusional fools. Nigeria is not called basket of fools for nothing. Ndigbo will not register underage or dead people to swell their number of votes and will never be pushed to cast a wrong vote.

Ahamefuna0001:
Tinumbu made it clear that Yoruba and Fulani are one, So I wonder what you're taking about again.

There is a plank of historical facts which supports the pronouncement by Tinubu.

princechurchill:
proudly Igbo guy and I'm ready to bleed for the Yoruba if need be as long as our enemy remains the fulanis..

I will never join Yoruba to chase harmless housefly. I966-67 appears to me as if it was yesterday. Whatever prompted Yoruba to join the jihadist northern region of Nigeria to prosecute a war of attrition against Ndigbo and eastern region is still with them.

Banditry, kidnapping, herdsmen crisis leading to calls for Nigeria’s breakup – Lai Mohammed



By Seun Opejobi

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, on Thursday lamented that the current insecurity in the country poses a great danger to Nigeria’s unity.

Mohammed lamented that the issues of farmers, herders crisis, banditry, kidnapping among other insecurity challenges have led to increasing calls for secession in Nigeria.

He stated this during a Town Hall meeting in Kaduna tagged: “Setting Benchmarks for Enhanced Security and National Unity in Nigeria”.

The Minister also noted that teamwork from all Nigerians in ensuring the rescue of the country remains the solution to these challenges.

According to Mohammed: “Ominously, the general state of insecurity, as reflected in incidences of farmers/herders clashes, Boko Haram insurgency, banditry, ethno-religious clashes and intolerance, cultism, drug addiction and kidnapping for ransom, are now triggering rising call for secession as well as politicization of ethnic and religious differences.

Bluntly put, the insecurity and its manifestations pose a dangerous threat to the unity of the country and its continued existence as one indivisible nation.

“How did we get here and what can we do to change the narrative? We believe that finding a way out of the situation in which we have found ourselves requires teamwork, reflecting all diversities and leveraging on all our collective creativity to pursue with diligence the project of rescuing Nigeria.”

Nigeria never had a unity. If the jackass was talking about Nigeria union, then it is understandable. The water has gone under the bridge and Nigeria is on slippery path of disintegration. The insincerity and deceits which have afflicted the country blessed with incompetent and nepotistic leaders such as Muhammadu Buhari shall not leave anybody in doubts. Nigeria is not qualified to pass as a country period.

Hopeless Uzodingba is in possession of stolen mandate. It is a felony to be found in possession of stolen things.

EmekaBlue:
Officially Nigerian army is weak

It became weak when transformed into Fulani army and ceased to be a Nigerian army. A tribal army which protects murderous Fulani herdsmen. I say good for them.
