Lagos (AFP) - When Boko Haram captured territory in Nigeria's northeast last year and declared a caliphate, there were real fears for the sovereignty of Africa's most populous nation.

A deadline is looming for the military to end the six years of violence, with signs that troops have wrested back control of most of the towns and villages lost to the Islamists.

But now President Muhammadu Buhari is facing another potential headache with the revival of separatist sentiment in the country's southeast and renewed debate over the sharing of oil wealth.

Recent weeks have seen a wave of protests calling for an independent state of Biafra, 45 years after the end of the brutal civil sparked by a previous declaration of independence.


Now, campaigners in the oil-producing Niger delta are demanding total control of resources to develop the region, which remains under-developed despite billions of dollars earned from crude.

Last Friday, the Niger Delta Self-Determination Movement (NDSDM) lobby group, declared the current agreement, whereby oil revenue is divided among Nigeria's 36 states, was unfair.

"The 13 percent (share for the Niger Delta) enshrined in the 1999 constitution by the military is depriving us of our God-given resources," the group's convener Annkio Briggs told reporters in Lagos.

"We want 100 percent control and ownership of our oil so that we can control our future."

- Northern 'dominance' -

Nigeria's crude-reliant economy has been battered by the fall in global oil prices, hampering government spending and even the payment of state-sector salaries.

Crude accounts for 90 percent of Nigeria's export earnings and 70 percent of government overall revenue.

In 2014, the country earned $77 billion from oil exports, according to the US Department of Energy, down from $84 billion in 2013 and $94 billion in 2012.

How much each state in the federation gets from the sector has long been a thorny issue, exposing barely concealed regional and ethnic rivalries.

Demands for a greater share of oil revenue were a factor in the violence that gripped the delta in the 2000s until a government amnesty programme, which ends this year, bought off militants.

Briggs' group argues Nigeria's political architecture, with 19 states classed as northern and 17 in the south, unfairly penalises the southern states where oil is found.

"Of the 774 local government areas (administrative divisions within each state), the north is given almost 70 percent," she said, calling it "manipulations for... socio-economic and political dominance".

She blamed a succession of northern-dominated military governments for forcing through the revenue-sharing agreement down the barrel of a gun "without our free, prior and informed consent".

Briggs denied calling for a break away from the federation but argued every region instead should use its own natural resources to develop itself.

The NDSDM was founded last year during a national conference convened by former president Goodluck Jonathan at which delegates recommended the delta region received 18 percent of oil revenue.

The recommendation was not implemented before Jonathan left office.

- 'Politically motivated' -

Nigeria is almost evenly split between a Muslim-majority north and largely Christian south and the sharp division informs most aspects of political debate.

But the argument for so-called "fiscal federalism" is seen by some as unrealistic, with sectors such as agriculture and manufacturing not sufficiently developed yet to be sustainable.

Anyakwee Nsirimovu, of the Niger Delta Civil Society Coalition pressure group, said demands from southern pressure groups were predictable now Buhari, a northern Muslim, was in power.

"Why is it after the defeat of Jonathan you see the likes of Annkio Briggs, MASSOB (Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra) and IPOB (Indigenous Peoples of Biafra) asking for resource control and self-determination?" he asked.

The complaints in fact exposed the failure of Jonathan, from the oil-producing Bayelsa state, to help his southern kinsmen during his six years in power, he argued.

"Those who lost out in the power equation are behind the crisis," he claimed.

But Tony Nnadi, of the Movement for New Nigeria, said every ethnic group had the right to either belong to or pull out of Nigeria, nearly 102 years after the country was formed.

"In 1914, the so-called Nigeria came into being through an amalgamation of southern and northern protectorates by the British colonial power," he said.

"By the provisions of the amalgamation, we have the right since 2014 to renegotiate the basis of our continued existence.

The experiences of various ethnic groups "in the last 100 years have shown we cannot continue in the marriage", he added.

Is't a must to vote for Apc. Are we not in democracy again

How can buhari support Palestinian to be free from Isreal but he is against biafra to be free from Nigeria

Truckpusher:
Simply because they speak a language that is of Igboid in origin which is not intelligible to you and despite their continuous outcry that they are not Igbos you still deem it necessary to classify them as Igbos ?
Is unity by force?
I'm from there and we are not Igbos, get it into your thick skull before history will repeat itself o.
You have been warned.

You have failed to answer my Question is there any of those place you mentioned that speak ijaw language or have the same market day with them. Shut up your mouth you are not from Ogbia . i have warned your people that We shall not Cede an inch of igbo land in South South to anybody no amount of silly propaganda and blackmail we make us to compromise. let me remind you again there are no ijaw people in Opobo or bonny they are igbo people just like Ogba,Egbema,Ndoni,Etche and Ikwerre. you are a land grabber

When you lay claim to opobo,bonny and Port Harcourt as far as Ogba,Egbema,Ndoni,Etche and Ikwerre as belonging to the South East what were you trying to get at?

The Question you need to ask him if any of this place he mentioned is an ijaw tribe or is there any of the them that speak ijaw language or have the same market day with ijaw people .

Nice Car

Favparis:
You are a lady with an Igboish name doin all this?

He is not a lady but a man. he is from Osun state but grow up in East so don't be deceive

Inko-Tariah said “we want to make it categorically clear to those behind this wicked and selfish act, especially the so called IPOB that no part or territory of the South-South belongs to the South-East. Rivers State and indeed other South-South States are not Igbos,


Inko-Tariah is a big fool by this his statement We shall not Cede an inch of igbo land in South South to anybody no amount of stupid propaganda and blackmail we make us to compromise

Truckpusher:
This is the manner of people we are dealing with .
They came here with some erroneous stories and twisted history to soothe their Biafra which we never opposed yet we were cursed and hated like common thieves in the village square and as if that wasn't enough they went ahead creating a whole thread for us simply for voicing a different opinion.
Bro , if you know what is good for you considering the manner in which these guys are going about it then it is important for you to take a stand here.
We will not fold our hands and watch IPOB use the PDP platform here to propagate Nnamdi Kanu's hate messages and half truth that would lead to chaos tomorrow.
The matter isn't about whether Ndoki is Ijaw land or not but a pure Igbo agenda whose support for the PDP must be repaid simply because they voted Jonathan a Niger Deltan, we'll continue to ask them to separate seccesionist agenda from party politics as those two do not agree at all in the history of any civilization but it seems that they are on a death wish.
Forget about the Ndoki brouhaha , you're dealing with an Igbo man and you've got to be untop of your game else you'll find out sooner or later that nothing is as it looked like.
They hate us today simply because we have refused to sell our identity for a mere support that was based on interest.
Let them continue hating and sending hate mails but we can't be bullied around even at the expense of losing friends.
Make a stand and stand by it , Eric .....there is nothing and no one to please here - it's all about personal interest and right now they do not have our interest at heart because their agenda isn't in any way different from the Hausa/Fulani and the Yoruba man's agenda . They all want to lord over us for life.

Shut up and stop spreading lies

dearpreye:
Brother, please stop insulting and abusing my very good friends while mentioning me. If you want to engage them, do that directly. I've met those two folks and they are some of the best guys around. If their position about any issue is totally different from mine or others in any way, it only shows how different and individual we all are.

Till I read here on NL, I doubt if any Ijaw man that I know of will lay any claims to Ndoki being an Ijawland. To me it's even redundant.

TonyeBarcanista is a disgrace for trying to steal Ndoki land because of oil

doctokwus:
That injustice is being corrected?Nigerians are a unique lot,so afraid and ever ready to allow wrong things be done in order to be politically correct.
If the tribunals wud upturn all results that wud enthrone a single party in the country or a state,so let it be.We must learn to win elections free and fair in this country.

Shut up which injustice are you talking about

spanishkid:
No amount of intimidation or propaganda by these biafrans will make us cede our lands to them. The SS will not join biafra is Nigeria decides to disintegrate today. We chose to be on our own. Biafra is an igbo thing and not a SS thing. The time has come for us to draw the line between biafra and SS.

We are not part of biafra and we never will. Igbos only want us for their selfish gains. They're using the votes they gave Gej to blackmail us into joining their failed project. SS wants no part of biafra. If they claim they have oil why are trying to add SS? Any attempt to annex our lands will be met with heavy resistance. I'm happy with our unity and that we are all speaking with one voice irrespective of what tribe we might come from. If Nigeria divides, it's the Niger Delta republic or nothing. No more no less.

Once again, God bless you tonyebarcanista. You're truly man of few words and great intelligence. I enjoy your articles. The world needs more people like you and also the likes of Goodboiyy, fineguy11, martineverest, sandraokosun, mulattoclaro and co. If you're single I'll link you up with my sister. I'm sure she will love to be with someone like you.

To those calling you names, they will die miserable and wallow in frustration. The SS has spoken and that's final.

Please Speak for Yourself. tonyebarcanista is a big disgrace

EUROBOMBER:
I hereby call on Buhari to scrap the amnesty program for Niger Delta militants. The militants have no right to hold this nation to ransom because the oil in the Niger Delta belongs to all Nigerians from the North, South, East and West.

Nigeria's crude oil is our collective wealth and no tribe or zone can lay claim it it. The Niger Delta people should hold their governors to account and besides, they have NDDC.

Amnesty cannot last forever. In view of the tight economic situation, Nigeria cannot continue to budget billions for jobless militants who wake up in the morning to drink ogogoro and turn around shouting our oyel. There is nothing like our oyel, the oyel is Nigeria's oyel.

Kudos to the North for always stating this fact.

The should scrap the amnesty without wasting time

TonyeBarcanista:
I don't wish we go into unnecessary confrontation. It is simple, if we can't agree on these basics then we can't agree on the complex. In otherwords, we shall wish them well but can't compromise on our position.

We shall not compromise also to Cede an inch of Port- Harcourt to anybody because ijaw are Minority in Port- Harcourt. so who are you to speak for Igbo people's in rivers state what are you feeling like i don't blame you i blame those igbo people that worship you as a God. you are a nobody in Rivers state. Enough is Enough for you. Port harcourt also belong to igbo not only to ijaw people. get that into your empty head

We want Biafra no going back

Rochas is a thief he must go

Wike go and crush the Biafra members as you promised. you want to pleased Buhari see your life now

I thought that Yoruba people said that only igbo people want Biafra but all this names listed are not igbo names

Special Considerations
Limit sugar and alcohol. They provide few nutrients but many calories. Therefore, they contribute to high cholesterol by increasing body weight. An overweight body contains excess fat that is saturated.
Certain habits, such as cigarette smoking and a sedentary life, can increase the risk of heart disease. Cigarette smokers should quit. Regular aerobic exercise (at least 20 to 30 minutes, 3 times a week) can lower cholesterol levels and help to prevent the build-up of cholesterol plaque. It can also reduce stress that may cause high blood pressure, another heart disease risk.
Fish should be eaten often, 3 or more times per week. Research indicates that certain deep-sea fish -- mackerel, salmon, herring, albacore tuna, lake trou -- contain an oil called Omega-3 fatty acid. This oil may help to lower blood cholesterol. Fish oil supplements, however, are not recommended because they add too many calories.
Avoid high sodium content in foods. Some patients with high cholesterol also have high blood pressure. Reducing sodium can help to keep blood pressure within normal limits. Table salt is about 1/2 sodium. Sodium is also an ingredient in many commercially processed foods. Common medications such as antacids, laxatives, and cough remedies can contain large amounts of sodium. Read product labels and use products with no more than 300 mg of sodium per serving. Herbs and spices can be used in place of salt to add flavor and variety to meals. Do not use a salt substitute unless the physician has approved it.
Increase complex carbohydrates, (pasta, whole grains, and potatoes) in the diet. Like fats, they are an excellent source of energy without the harmful effects fats can have on the body. But, read labels of commercially prepared baked goods, cookies, and crackers. These products are notorious for using highly saturated fats such as coconut or palm oils and hydrogenated fats.
Eat 20 to 30 grams of dietary fiber every day. Foods such as legumes, oats, barley, brown rice, apples, strawberries, and carrots are good to eat because they contain soluble fiber. Research indicates that soluble fiber helps to lower blood cholesterol levels. Supplements such as psyllium mucilloid (trade names: Konsyl, Metamucil) can lower cholesterol up to 15% when used daily. Oat bran is another soluble fiber that has the same benefit.
Choose meats carefully. Grading of meats (Prime, Choice, or Good) refers to fat content, with Prime grades having the most fat. Marbling refers to the threads of white fat running through a cut of meat -- the greater the marbling, the more fat. Read labels and avoid any meat product with more than 3 grams of fat per ounce.
Eating out can be a challenge. Avoid fast food restaurants; their foods are usually high in fats and sodium. However, many restaurants now understand the need to provide items for clients on fat or cholesterol-restricted diets. Their menus often contain words like "heart healthy" or have items marked with the symbol™. Ask about ingredients and how foods are prepared. Choose foods wisely and ask for smaller portions.
