Epe is an Ijebu town. Aworis met Ijebus there when they were resettled.Dont write rubbish here .
Raskimonojendor: The SE always leech on other regions. Their own homogeneous region is not enough.
Those real Niger Deltans (and not the phantom Nairaland ones) have said they would rather have their own republic which makes alot of sense.
Exactly. If they are serious, they will advocate for every region to stand alone. It's irritating always lumping SE with the SS. I don't know when SS made the SE their spokesperson in Nigeria affairs.
Raskimonojendor: Even Ebonyi will never be part of Biafra. Atleast according to the most important man in that state. Governor Umahi.
These SE people are looking for survival and that's the reason for always mentioning SS in their phantom country.When they are ready to stand alone, the will not think of involving SS in their phantom Biafra. SW leaders have been taking bold steps because they know they can survive without any region.
blocksy007: If this country is divided today then we prefer to go with SE or stand alone. The SW is very good at betraying us. It's only after election U remember SS. Abeg free me jor. I go with SE anyday any time.
Mention those in the SS that wants to go with you.Jonathan?Wike? Akpabio? Oba of Benin? Who amongst the SS stakeholder will go with a less productive region? Do you think Itshekiris, Ijaws and Urhobo that are the real Deltans will go with the SE? Just answer truthfully.
blocksy007: And thank God we are not part of SW. See SS is smart we can see how enemies already. The SS is feeding Nigeria but the wicked leaders keep our region underdeveloped. Where are these leaders from? The SW and the North. The SE has done nothing to us that should attract any hate.
Ask Isaac Boro What im saying is that Yorubas have claims to Edo State and Delta State. Itshekiris are Yorubas, there is Olukumi another Yoruba clan in Delta state too and Benin are Yorubas cousins. Edo and Delta will never be part of Biafra likewise Ijaw too. Next time, he should not lump the SS together. He needs to be specific. Why is the agitation for Biafra only in the SE and not in the SS? SW is not bothered about the oil. From the 1st republic till now, Yorubas have been the voice for resource control and regionalism because they know they can survive without other regions. Has anybody in the SE either dead or alive spoken about resource control? No, because they can't survive without other regions.
Tukpa8: Ss has no connection with south east....no matter their begs, we don't even reason them.
only ignorant person will write all these..
What today known as south south was carved out from two regions; eastern region and western region.....but ignorant landlocked crying fools will think the whole south south was carved out from Eastern region...see why we don't even look at their tears for alliance because they are too ingenue to us..
In the 1940s The Ijaws were divided into two regions, western region and eastern region. the Ijaws of Delta state, edo state and Ondo state were from the old western region, which was later midwest and then bendel to now, Ondo, edo and Delta state....Ijaws were the largest ethnicity in the old western region behind the Yorubas.......in the other part, the Ijaws of bayelsa and rivers were added to the old eastern region and later old rivers state to now Bayelsa and rivers.
The Ijaws who were the largest ethnicity in old western region behind the Yorubas were given referendum to stand on their ground which is midwestern.....but the Ijaws who were also the largest ethnicity in the old eastern region behind the igbos were never given referendum to join the western Ijaw brothers by the igbo dominated government because of the crude oil.......this sparked grievances and later led to Adaka Boro using arm agitation to an extent forcefully declaring the independent niger delta republic in 1966
To put record straight,,,,the Ijaws were first southern region protectorate in 1900 with the Yorubas and the Igbos,,,,then later nigeria was made three regions,,,,the Ijaws were splitted into two regions, western and eastern regions.
only ignorant ibo youths will have delusion mind that the whole south south were part of the eastern region.....and no one should argue with them because they are born fools and why we Ijaws called them piri ama abu.....yes, the igbos are piri ama abu... everyone know it... because they behave exactly like forest beings.
Another record about the voting pattern.. To debunked the lies of this piri ama owei write up.. South south and southeast have never have same voting system until 2010 and 2015... The records are there...we The igbos in the 1960s have party like NCNC led by Zik,,,Yorubas had Action congress led by Awo and the Ijaws had Niger delta congress led by Dapper Biriye..
Niger delta congress and NCNC were dreaded enemies due to the NCNC refusal to grant referendum for the Eastern Ijaws. The niger delta congress in entirety aligned with the northern party till all the parties at then desolved..............then later, the Igbos had a party called apga led by ojukwu and all igbos rally round their apga party but the Ijaws as usual join their northern alliances for PDP..........
To make it straight,,,,the Ijaws in their entire lives never give one vote to NCNC and APGA which are the two igbos party.....rather, the Ijaws formed their niger delta congress party to teach the NCNC a bitter lesson by aligning with the northern party........then later when apga came, the Ijaws join PDP to teach apga lesson....
It was 2010 that the igbos out of frustration leave their lonely apga to join PDP.......this is the history of the igbo party system and the Ijaw party system.....
An historical prove below... quite observe the voting pattern
vanitybutiwanti: You do not have to write about Biafra, the reason you want this alliance so bad is because of your actualization of a Biafra in the future, wise people can see the end from the beginning
The guy knows nothing about history. Historically, Delta and Edo states were under western region administered from ibadan. If igbos are dragging SS, Yorubas too have the right to drag SS too.
Cooly100: State performance On state profile analysis, it said Lagos recorded the highest domestic debt in Q3 2022 with N877.03 billion, followed by Delta with N272.61 billion and Ogun with N241.78 billion.
And so what?You wan talk say Imo economy is stronger than that of Lagos because of Lagos debt..abi.. America has the highest debt profile in the world yet their economy is one of the strongest . Don't let us derail please. Open another thread for this. Thank you.
Cooly100: In some thread, especially the one his convoy some of your agbero kinsmen where jubilating up and down, saying he is god and can do any thing..
So why is this not one of them if he has all this power?
You two face character will always drag you guys in very bad light.
mrvitalis: Yes ooh Oyo is 5 times bigger than IMO... Has bigger population... But less GDP
I will reply you for the last time.Oyo state GDP in 2022 is next to Lagos and Delta states as attached.Oyo state is number 3 while your almighty Imo is number 9 as attached .
helinues: Bro, ignore the guy, na back and forth discussion him go dey follow you do which eventually you will ended up discussing nothing but petty gossiping
We've been schooling most of them here for free. I will ignore him.
helinues: Infact if the op is one of the state assembly, then I can only say sorry to the people he his representing. Something you guys can discuss at your state assembly, pass across other states in the region before approaching the president
Reality3080: even their 5 states is not up to a state in d north now these clowns want more
Their abia is like 3 local government in Ibadan self
Them never know anything Just look at the kind of politicians they are voting in that region.smh ..I trust the north ..They will give you reasons they too need more states..
If it's GDP, South south and south west need more states..Their GDP is more than that of the SE Lagos is meant to be further divided into at least 3 states too. Does it make sense that way?
