19. “The people of Ahoada, a Division of which a pan runs down to meet Port Harcourt, appear at one time to have favoured the idea of a Rivers state, but have changed their views and before us expressed themselves as strongly against it. Comparatively few of them live in the low-lying swampy country of the coastal strip and they have voted for the NCNC consistently, they said themselves that a main factor in their change of front had been the inclusion if the Western Ijaws in the proposed state. So long, they said, as the Rivers state was to consist of the River Province only, the Ibos would have been the most numerous tribe within it: but the inclusion of the Western Ijaw Division put them at a numerical disadvantage beside the Ijaws and they therefore preferred to stay out. Whether or not this was a line of reasoning that really had a wide appeal, the fact remain that before us they were opposed to the idea of the state. This is not surprising because their problems are different from those of the ijaws.”

20. “To include within a River state Ahoada and Port Harcourt, would, we believe, create a problem as acute as that with which we were asked to deal at present and and would be sharply resented by the Ibos of the central plateau.”

Our OYEL decide ethnic group.

Well.
I don't see anything good in Naptu and will never see. I know his type very well.

On your topic. I agree. Ekwueme actions were limited by faulty state creations that he couldn't alter without having executive powers to do so.

WrittyWritter:
I did not say we are one ethnic group... Can't you guys just allow us to be different together.

I'm an Edo girl...I don't know y you people just want to force this your ideology on people..na by force for people to join....do a quick survey and you will find out most of the people you are talking about don't even want to join... Just because you have some similar culture with Igbo's does not make you one..just because I have some similar culture with Yorubas does not make me one....
When we you people understand that Nigeria is more than Yoruba..Igbo..And Hausa/Fulani

Stop talking thrash.
You are Edo. Why not stick with your Edo and stop trying to attach to Igbos in SS or make them hate their brothers in SE?

Igbos in SS and SE don't have similar culture, we have same culture.

No Igbo in SE cares about whatever Edo has going on with Yorubas.
Just stay in your lane and let the Igbos in SS be.

Good suggestion.

The current states must be dissolved and Igbo groups trapped in the misnomer SS given choice to join Igbo Region as well as Igbos in NC.

The remaining minorities can continue with their SS.
The Yorubas in NC would be given chance to join the Yoruba region while the Minorities in NC stay together.

Within the Minorities Region,each ethnicity will have an autonomous province of their own and each province would have 100% resource control.
For example, Ibeno or Obolo oil will belong to them and them alone and not controlled by hinterland Annang and Ibibios.

The Ikwerre will not control Ogba oil wealth to build up Obio-Akpo LGA and KELGA.

I think this is the real restructuring and resource control.

naptu2:
Hahahahahahahahahahaha

I knew that he wouldn't have a sensible response.

Did those threads not show Igbos in a positive light? Is that not what you asked for.

I know the trick you are trying to play.

You can't argue based on facts, so you insult people in order to derail the thread. When that fails you try and derail the thread by talking about other things (as you did in your previous post). When that fails you try and shift the goalpost (as you are doing now).

It's all a waste of time. I'm only moved by superior reasoning, not all these childish games.

You can continue playing them by yourself. You have shown me that you are not serious, so I won't read or respond to your posts anymore. Goodbye.

You are an unrepentant Igbophobic Yoruba Muslim.
Your antecedents proceeds you no matter how you try to hide it.

No one is deceived.

WrittyWritter:
south south people.. I don't know y people feel the need to make us be under one of the three major tribes...We don't speak Yoruba..we don't speak Igbo..We don't speak Hausa..We all have different culture.

I feel the creation of the south south region was actually a good thing..we can be different together.. Because we till have different cultures and speak different languages..Na pidgin be our common language

There is no ethnic group called "SS people", stop being silly

We have Igbos in SS who are still one with those of us in SE.

So when you say SS is not one with SE. It's important you mention your ethnic group, because there is nothing like SS ethnic group.

Enuani Igbos in SS are still one with Igbos in SE
Egbema Igbos in SS are still one with Igbos in SE
Ndoki and Asa Igbos in SS are still one with Igbos in SE.

So next time, do well to represent your obviously tiny and probably insignificant ethnic group in SS and not try to hide behind SS tag that still have significant proud Igbos in it to spin your Igbophobic sweeping statements.

We( Enu-ani in SS Delta North) speak Igbo.

We ( Egbema in SS ONELGA Rivers State) speak Igbo

We( Asa and Ndoki in Oyigbo LGA Rivers State) speak Igbo

We (Isobo in Obubra LGA of Cross River State) speak Igbo.

But you an Isoko, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ijaw, Ikwerre, etc don't speak Igbo, hence can only speak for your own group.

WrittyWritter:
Hell no..We don't have any similar culture.. Everything is different...

As for calabar and akwa ibom...their own matter tie gele

Who are the "We" you speak of?

I have absolutely nothing to prove to bigots who see bigotry in everything because they cannot address issues.

Lol!
Those threads were just you projecting your dead "ONE NIGERIA" agenda than anything else.

Perkins2018:
So creating six zones does not create south south. You hateful igbos always accuse everyone of hate.

Have hateful beings like yourself ever given Ndiigbo (Ekwueme) credits or respect or even gratitude for gifting you a region?

What have you children of hate ever done for Ndiigbo your whole lives?

naptu2:
It is always the case that people who cannot discuss issues (wo don't have the brain power and emotional fortitude to discuss issues) always resort to discussing personalities. They cannot engage with ideas so they resort to ad hominem attacks against people that discuss these issues.

Hate, bigotry, anger, fights, insults, those are the only things that they understand and it's the only thing that they can engage with. It's all they do and all they see in others. They cannot discuss issues.

You are a chief propagator of bigotry and hate.

Show me one thread you have ever started on NL to project Ndiigbo in good light or to promote Ndiigbo as a good people.

24SEVEN:
IPOB is an Igbo thing.

IPOB is not same as Igbo.
Biafra= Igbo.
IPoB is not equal to Igbo.

24SEVEN:
So we should allow IPOB and IGBOS to attack, kill, loot, rob and rape northerners at will in PH because they voted in an Ikwerre as Governor?. Sorry brah, we failed you on that.

Bros, we already have your votes in our custody. Every single one, even to a deceased Igbo that has registered sometime ago, anywhere in Ikwerre, oyigbo and Etche LGAs.

Before election start we don win.

You will have to replace Igbo with IPOB in this your senseless post.
No serious Igbo see Ikwerre any different from Ijaw.

Emefiele eme fie go!

Yorubas are by far the biggest and most humble achievers in Nigeria. The revelations on this thread will only shock our ignorant chest-beating "developer" Brothers always obsessed with comparing d1cks with Yoruba rather than humbly trying to learn from a people far ahead of them and far more factually successful beyond empty noise.

Yet it won't shock others, especially Northerners, who know what Yorubas really are and the fact that they are by far the biggest and most productive component part of Nigeria.


http://www.persianasgroup.com/about-us/

Ndiigbo are no brothers to Yorubas.
And we would be happy if you can fight for and get Odua republic, so that we wouldn't have to put up with your Muslim Yoruba brothers anymore. We wish you all the best.
Thanks.

Wow.. omo Igbo people plenty Sha

Prinnce1:
so on what basis did KANU use to include Akwa ibom and other states without a compromised from each individual states, where and when was the agreement made and under which umbrella. See respect is reciprocal and you guys are repeating the same mistake of Ojukwu and it will still backfire.

See, I don't know where you are from. But I'm not a fan of Kanu and IPOB multi ethnic BIAFRA.
I'm rabidly Igbophilic and want Igbo only Biafra as I think the Minorities are nothing but liabilities to Ndiigbo.
You might need to take your frustrations at being included in IPOB Utopia multi ethnic BIAFRA to Kanu and his IPOB members.
I'm too proud an Igbo Man to want Minorities in an Igbo country.

I love the Igbos
I love the Yorubas
I love the northerners
I love my country Nigeria.
I believe there is strength in unity but I don't believe we have to remain united at all cost.
I'm saddened at the state of affairs in the southeast.A responsible government would have called the agitators to a roundtable and have a discussion with them ,but we haven't seen anything of such.My country is a sinking ship and there is a time beyond which it cannot be saved . A stitch in time says nine.

Ndiigbo don't need your love.
All we need is for all of you Nigerians to let us be in our Biafra country.

Is this too much to ask?

chukwunweikeemi:
The same Ojukwu who attacked and killed 150 Isaac Boro soldiers in 12 fighting days all because Isaac Boro declared a repunlic of Niger Delta.As if that was not bad enough he declared Biafra with a terrritory that included those of Isaac Boro!!

We have gone past these lies.

This is like a dagger straight to the heart of many Nigerians.
I can imagine their severe pains.

Sincinnati:
Don’t say this bro.

We should be cautious of the kind of comments we make in public to avoid been seen as people with no restraint.

The effects of Vandalization of gas pipelines is not the same as Crude.
Where do you think UGM has been more active in Owerri, Imo State capital than any other place?

All these katakata in Imo, Anambra and Abia States have a very big political undertone connected to the topic of discussion here.

Currently, the Fulani government of Nigeria is ahead of the South East in this game of socio-economic shenanigans.

We have to pipe down, allow the development of this gas production facilities with severe monitoring from an uncompromisable team. When all these is done, then we sit down and discuss how this development benefits people of interest.

We have to come together now or never!
More importantly, We Igbos have gone beyond the struggle of groups like IPOB and all its factions. A people of about 50 million should put up political resistance group more sound than IPOB.
Their tactics will only leave us in regrettable ruins. Diplomacy and a touch of astute pressure groups and maybe a very well trained guerrilla group if necessary, will be better than the tactics being deployed by IPOB.

We cannot destroy our lands because ordinary Fulani and Hausa man wants to tap out gas. We are more sophisticated than these people, we shouldn’t destroy ourselves because of them.

Peace.

Nnaa.
That gas will not be siphoned without BIAFRA coming into existence first and foremost.
That's how it should be.
Everything else you say will only be an addition.

chukwunweikeemi:
Was there a referendum to decide who wanted to be a part of Biafra before it was declared?

Ojukwu demanded for one.
Gowon knowing what the outcome would be, declined.

Graysons:
And you forget yours truly is a member of Igbo nation and many other igbo groups as well? you are not the only one with wandering spirit.
Taking about evil, nobody is more evil and cunning than the igbo man

Ndiigbo don't even know you lots exist.
How times have you seen Ijaws discussed in Igbo forums?
But Ndiigbo seem to be the Central topic in Ijaw forums.

Fejoku:
Now you're talking. We in IPOB are not foolish. Give your advice and notify us of your observation but not those your negative criticism. We know how to deal with such situation.
Do some of our Ijaw cousins seriously think that path will really help them? Some verified Ijaws on NL are still toxic despite the reality facing everyone yet all they harbour remains this inexplicable hate for Igbos. It is what it is and can't be changed but we won't because of them refuse the current outreach approach we have. It's left for the whole Ijaws to decide. Igbos have paid the price already and our freedom is at hand. Nigeria can never recover from the current ditch she has fallen into. The Ijaws who wish to pitch their tent with the terrorist fulanis will be the once to suffer it when we are gone. We won't be of any help to them when fulanis fall on them. The principle of seed and harvest must have its way. Anyi ji ofor jide ogu.

Why do you need Ndiigbo to tell you of Ijaw plans?
Are their plans not obvious?

Modern day Ijaw nationalism is built around Harold Dappa and Boro principles and worship.
And what are these principles?

The general belief that the Arewa are their protectors against Igbo Boogeyman and that alliance with Arewa must Always be favoured over any alliance with Igbo.

Boro day is celebrated everyday in Ijawland.


IPOB has to accept that Ijaws are nothing but aggressive expansionist neighbors. They are not brothers or cousins as some of you want to refer them as.
These lots are Arewa Trump card against us, like a Vassal they have right in our backyard.
The Ijaw Igbophobia is not inspired by Arewa. Far from it, they (Boro and Harold) only realized the ancient saying: The enemy of my enemy is my friend. They see us as enemies and naturally sought out and formed a permanent alliance with our enemies.

You can't be fighting for BIAFRA which pitches you against Arewa who Boro and Harold projected as protectors of Ijaw people, and expect Ijaw people to join and support you. IPOB are obviously not thinking things thoroughly.
Ijaws see the Arewa as their sole protectors against the Igbo, aka Ijaw Boogeyman. And you stupidly feel they will join you and remove their protectors from them, and and have themselves trapped in same country with the Boogeyman?
Why is it too hard for you IPOB to see things from Ijaw perspective?

And No! You can never convince them that you are not the Boogeyman. Don't even try.
Telling or trying to tell them to accept you are not the Boogeyman is like you insulting their parents and calling them liars.
That's even more proof to them that you are up to some sinister plans.

This is not a battle you can win. The only way you win is by letting these people be.

We have been shouting this from rooftops since 2015 till now.

chukwunweikeemi:
As much as I believe the Igbos have a right to self determination and I pray that God grant them what's best for them.I want to say that the Aniomas of Delta State are not Igbos and I would like the Igbos to stop imposing their identity on us.We are not Delta Igbo or whatever they ckoose to call us,we are Aniomas and so nobody should cover us with an Igbotic umbrella.I'll not loose my cultural identity and be swallowed up in theirs.Their is no divide -and- rule here.Just ask anybody from Ndokwa or Ukwani LGAs whether he is Igbo and you can go home with the response.. Anytime anyday I would vote in a referendum for a Niger Delta Republic where every tribe is a minority than to be in Biafra where one stands the chance to be margibalized.Though I doubt there would be any referendum on our side of the Niger since there is no agitation for secession even though people are not comfortable with the statusquo.
Pls no hard feelings.Thanks.

Then speak for your Ukwuani group.

The Enu-ani are the people we refer to when we say Delta Igbo.

Graysons:
What are you doing on ijaw group when you are not ijaw? What are you looking for there?

Keeping tabs on your evil plans and thoughts towards Ndiigbo.

Fejoku:
You put it down simply for anyone to understand. Those who know Igbos very well know that we call off people's bluff easily. Igboland has all it will take to make us a great country yet those of us in IPOB see that bigger picture. If we dismiss off the other smaller tribes of the AS and go alone, it will still return to hurt (not hunt) us. We have a lot of our blood brothers there who's current foolishness can be so exasperating yet we remain resolute bearing the pain because we see ahead. If for any reason we go without them (non-Igbos of the Niger Delta), they will be wiped out. It's very clear for everyone to see except them. The role Igbos are playing in Nigeria currently is too much. The balance of power we bring is very evident yet others who are suppose to help us win and bring safety for all prefer to play politics with it. The sahelian terrorist know this that's why they're working day and night to strengthen themselves further while our own cousins and neighbours are still toying with the situation neither strengthening themselves nor weakening the current terrorist government. Destinies are being designed currently but those that should most concerned think it's just politics. There is no middle ground currently which a lot of Yorubas are just realising. If you don't want Biafra, start fighting for your own country. Don't remain silent and indirectly aid the common enemy.

I'm in most Ijaw forums.
Their thought is that once Igbos open the floodgates of seccession after years of sacrificing our own blood, they(Ijaws) will use that window of opportunity to declare their own independence too.
And if the Igbo fails, they would rekindle their relationship with the Gambaris and try to expand more into Igbo territories.

IPOB must be aware of these lots plans and make sure to thwart them.

OfoIgbo:
Infact the report that claims that Anambra has about 30 trillion cubic feet of gas, is nearly twenty years old, and I don't think much has been done in that area. Otherwise that Anambra reserve would have officially tripled or quadrupled by now.

The authorities are hellbent on ensuring Anambra is not seen as both an oil producing or a gas producing state.

Igboland possibly controls more than 90% of Nigeria's gas reserves.

Another very important detail being that Nigeria's gas reserve are possibly more than double Nigeria's oil reserves

It doesn't even have to be more than those of OUR OYEL people.
It just has to be very substantial and we are good to go.

Any attempt to put gas pipeline and siphon the gas to gods know where will be sabotaged by pipeline vandalism.
That gas will be used to develop Igboland and Igboland alone.

We finally have a big bargaining tool!

Many people will commit suicide in the coming years in Nigeria.
The OUR OYEL people
The head slammers from SW and North.

Because Alaigbo with natural gas will be a game changer in the next phase of Biafran struggle.
