₦airaland Forum

Onlytruth: My friend sharap and stop bombarding us with your southern Nigeria illusion. Take a look at the map and see that Igboland cuts CENTRALLY (not peripherally) into the Niger Delta. Yorubaland is only tangential to it, that is assuming the Ilaje and Itsekiri admit to be called Yoruba.
We Ndigbo have clear and frontal claim to CENTRAL areas of Niger delta than any other majority group in Nigeria. THESE FACT CAN NEVER CHANGE.

The Ilajes are a distinguished, distinct linguistic group of the Yoruba stalk made up of four geo-political entities namely Ugbo, Mahin, Etikan and Aheri.



They were said to have left ILE-IFE their original ancestral home/settlement in the 10th century. They mainly occupy the Atlantic coastline of Ondo State of Nigeria while a large population of them settles on land in the hinterland. The area they occupy today remains the Ondo State of Nigeria only outlet to the sea.



ILAJELAND is bounded by the Ijebus to the West, the Ikale to the North, the Itsekiri to the East. The APOI and Arogbo Ijaw to the North East, while the Atlantic ocean formed the southern boundary. No doubt, the Ilajes are one of the most dynamic and enterprising people in Nigeria. Their aquatic skill, coupled with their high adaptational ability enable them to conquer their hash geographical environment and turn it to a big advantage. Consequently, they were able to build large communities like Ugbonla, Aiyetoro, Zion PePe and Orioke. Aiyetoro for example in it's hey-days had the highest per capital income in the whole of Africa and attracted visitors, tourists and researchers from all over the world especially Europe, Canada, and America.

Ngodigha1: Ukwuani, Ekpeye and Emohua and neighbours are Igbo groups and they are in the Niger Delta.
Get this into your tiny brain, there are Igbo people in the Niger Delta.

Toaskarity: your post is right but it seem like you thinking that southern Nigeria is divided, maybe you right but atleast its an advantage to us, just look at how SE is talking ill about their region so it can get developed, same thing can be said of ND and SW thos making it competetive but assuming if we hide under the logo of been East WEST(just like north), somebody from delta may be shouting about Enugu where else his place can be developed same thing with somebody from lokja claiming lagos where else his house can compete with lagos. This is why it seem like southern Nigeria is more develop than the North(a northerner from sokoto,kano etc always claim abuja where else his house can compete the place). If am to suggest states should be on their own it doesnt mean our various culture Igbo,yoruba,hausa will die but for an even competition to even development. Though ppl think that divided south is killing them thats why northerners keep ruling but to tell you the truth,If real good politician comes out, people will surly vote for him. I dont see any disadvantage of been divided south that yields healthy competition (moreover no one is killing the other in south, take less break of what is online)

karfe: 5 nations have been existing on our sub-conscious. However, we must learn to differentiate between nations and political alliances. SS and SE still appear to be separate while Edo is not part of SW

One_Naira: I don't even think I can do that with a straight face without cracking up but let me try: I'll just for one second on this thread alone pretend I'm unaware of your tactics, neither am I aware of your original ID, and just be like everyone else and forget who I've talked to before on here and pretend only Jason is your ID and laughable focus on just jason alone. Wait, Jason ID has been a member for how long now? commented in almost all threads and seem to focus on pretty much all the tribal threads and among the most tribalistic members on this website and you are pointing out the obvious of this forum which you actually helped made this way? na wa oo!! Culprits should never look down upon on other culprits.

[b]Any dullard with half a brain knows the map is going by the old regional map but with the term south east and south west to replace eastern and western terms [/b]and any person whom follows your comment already know you intention on the map and your reply intention whether you said it or not; anyone whom reads your replies already know where you were heading to. Nigg@ I've and I think pretty much every ND on this site have kept quiet with your constant need to drag us into your bullsh1t, I think I've asked some of una, including the igbo and yoruba, to stop doing that, musiwa is the only person I gave a pass because he's pretty funny to me but enough is enough. Especially since you aren't even a ND like you proclaimed.

Congratulation on informing me to follow trolls, next time inform to follow Okija_juju and Uche 2005 and Alj_harem and his multiple troll ids and that supposedly SS girl but is actually a northern and ucheike, etc. Biko if you want me to follow anyone, inform me to follow Physics or Gareth for the edos or Beaf for urhobo. Don't waste waste my time with nonsense. Even then I do not have to follow invisible faces on a forum filled with fakers when I can and have gotten the actual real input from the real non-faceless people in real life.

, wow, you found a letter written by the "supposed" nationalities of Edo, Ibibio, etc but yet it was only found in iteskiri forum, which doesn't even exist when you click on it.

I repeat goodluck swinging that sh1t around.

One more thing WTF? we are talking about ND republic, at least that is I though that was what I thought we were talking about, everything else was on that but yet you are rebutting by providing me a letter about Ijaw demand for new state in Nigeria and a supposed letter of reply. How does that correlate? I said I don't have time for nonsense and I mean it. I don't have time for nonsense.

Onlytruth: Some of you just make me laugh with your outbursts, frankly. Such outburst only tells me how old, or how driven-by-hubris some of you are. I say that because I know that most of you have not really sat down to think about what it would take to either build a new nation, or move an old nation forward. You think it is always OIL that determines how far a nation can go, and that is the problem. Do you think I don't know that itsekiri is COMPLETELY different from Igbo? Put in a different way, do you think that Igbo would simply accept Itsekiri into a new nation,just for the asking? I can tell you for sure that some of my Igbo brothers are VERY FURIOUS at my suggestion that Itsekiri join Biafra. I am not driven by crowd or pedestrain mentality though. I think like a leader.

As Nigeria stands now, I can confidently say, that A WHOLE LOT of what makes Nigeria tick today are driven by Igbo: Sports (particularly Football), Movies, Music, Manufacturing, Agriculture, Sciences, Education, Innovation, Christianity, Peaceful people, Modernity and of course OIL AND GAS (huge portions are in Igboland).
Remove Igbo from Nigeria today and Nigeria will STRUGGLE to make any impact internationally in all these fields. We can start by forgetting about Olympic medals and football laurels.
So, in essence, I predict that there will be a rush to join Igbo in forming a new nation, should Nigeria collapse! Quote me on this!
So, you may not qualify to be included in the same nation as Igbo.
For starters, only smart groups would be accepted because we won't want a repeat of Nigeria -a nation where unqualified people control things, for any reason whatsoever.
I believe there are smart Itsekiri's though.

One_Naira: I can now say with positiveness YOU ARE NOT ND as some have accused you of. Who in their right mind, whom claimed to have lived within Niger-delta will open their big mouth and claim only Ijaw and Urhobo wants ND republic. ROFLMFAO. Goodluck swinging that sh1t around.

As for You speaking for Western Ijaws and Urhobo, dude, they have voiced their opinion multiple times and they want nothing to do with SW. What in the world are you on about? From Urhobo to Isoko, etc do not want anything, neither do they wish to join SW when Nigeria breaks simple. I have never met a ND whom wishes to join SW when Nigerian breaks apart other than well YOU. By the way, do not waste your time opening up an account pretending to be urhobo just to have someone to back you up. We know how you do and I don't have time for that nonsense and childishness.

As I've said before LET THE IJAWS, THE IBIBIO, THE WHOMEVER speak for themselves. YOU AREN'T ONE OF THEM, neither can you voice what they want.SIMPLE.

IJAW DEMAND FOR TORU-EBE STATE: PROTEST AGAINST THE INCLUSION OF OUR TERRITORIES

Da infamous:
Beaf that is funny this our oil is giving them nightmares jason that is not a proper statistics,show me how much the region actually generate internally not all these marginalises quoter system you are displaying some of them was implemented by military govt  for their selfish reasons and you know what am talking about thats why northern nigeria is using for their demand for more oil money like oliver twist

ikeyman00:
@@@@

well i think it laughable when people come out to write s hit in nl

everyday what me sees here is either becomeyeye has forgetten to take his medication or jason and crew are talking about evidence

what evidence

take abuja and lagos for a example the entire motor parts centre is completely run by the igbo gurus

the same goes to lagos and etc

so when u see the aboki landlord lamenting that they couldnt rent their properties cuz the igbos have flee duely to ba stard boko brainless moslem u think thats is a joke

Standing5:
ND ppl r the real parasites in this country. They don't raise a damn finger for nothing. [b]As far as i am concerned, oil belongs to all Nigerians, [/b]a fact backed by Law-Of-The-Land A.K.A. the Constitution). In the good old days of Tin mining rendered some part of the north useless and everybody spent part of its money. It is not about magnitude here but principle.The ND has 'chopped' with north before and didn't call for a break of the country so i see no reason for all the bad blood shown here by them.

ndu_chucks:
^++ The usual suspects will call others unproductive and parasites, while they are the real parasites. I'll like to know of any major goods produced in Ijaw, Isoko or other  areas of the ND. These are the laziest parasites in Nigeria. A resourceful businessman from a different region is working on a  plan to develop the biggest fishing corporation in Africa based in the region, while the lazy fools have spent over $1trillion of stolen derivation monies with absolutely nothing to show for it. They will promptly call this businessmen parasites once they start supplying fish to all of Africa and beyond.

Da infamous:
jason benue has oil?? you never show me the evidence on how SW /NC contribute more than SE you are still going round the circles days of lies and cheat is gone, limestone in ogun state doesn't bring anything to FG treasury dancote is saying it on his business level but not for the  whole nation nkalagu cement in enugu is there, you dont know the quantity of it, show us some evidence on how NC/SW contribute more than SE  or remain a lair

“The provisions traceable to the zones as a percentage of the gross allocation indicate that Southsouth takes the highest with 8.83% while Southeast, comprising five states only, takes the lowest with 3.73%

“Upon the exclusion of the centrally allocated amounts, the[b] Southsouth takes 29.65%[/b] while the South-East takes 12.52%. Others are N[b]orthcentral (16.27%)[/b]; Northeast (10.40%); Northwest (14.50%) and Southwest (16.67%).

“If the President’s proposals were enacted in its present state based on our analysis, the fiscal consolidation, inclusive growth and job creation as clearly spelt out in the theme of the budget might not be equitably distributed across the regions of the Federation.

“It is our prayer that the imbalance in the proposed capital allocation in the various zones should be objectively reviewed and harmonised in the interest of federal character, equity and fairness among the geo-political zones instead of a particular zone taking the largest percentage.”

Da infamous:
which agriculture we from asaba gets our yam from ogbaru in anambra state they make the best yam in Nigeria go and goggle it, rice are mainly imported ones Nigeria import milk we don't have daily milk cow in large quantities just recently kwara state just gave Zimbabwe farmers land to start producing milk,Hausa cow their milk is not daily milk people consumes, is a different kind of cow,so pls tell me what NC/SW contribute more than SE  

Beaf:
Why did "your brothers" vote so overwhelmingly to leave you na?

the Itsekiris were opposed to being part of a Midwest State if it was created. They discovered that the Ijebu were their kith and kin and preferred to remain in the West. Now that the Yoruba principalities and powers have no favours to trade for Itsekiri electoral support, the latter no longer think of joining Ondo Province or Ijebu to be with their kith and kin in the same State

Da infamous:
How can you divide people and resources within the same state? you guys are right up there does it matter if capital stays in asaba? itsekiri and illaje don't own majority of oil in delta state  
Before people get confused. The SE produces a lot but not more than the SW or NC. We all know the truth!
to SE can you show us how SW and NC  contribute more than SE that a big lie my friend if you got no evidence don't just say things b/c of tribalism have blocked your sense of reasoning,
