What South South Niger Delta wants is 50% Resource Control not biafra Igbo are using the support they gave to Jonathan in 2015 election as blackmail to convert Niger delta struggle to biafra. Niger delta struggle is 50% resource control. This deception will not work. They only supported Jonathan because they got alot of appointments under Jonathan. They are just selfish and greedy people. Niger Delta Struggle is completely different from biafra agitation. Igbo supported Obasanjo against thier own son and hero Ojukwu in 2003 election, they should go and claim yoruba instead.
As far as I am concern Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa are all benefiting from the current system. After all an Igbo man Gen Agunyi Ironsi created the Unitary System for Nigeria in
1966 that we are complaining against today. Gen Agunyi Ironsi set the foundation for the destruction of regional federalism in Nigeria. if not for his love for total control and domination (The disease of an average Igbo man), Niger delta would have be enjoying 50% resource control today.Tobe continued............

The Unitary system Ironsi created had nothing like quota system or state of origin. Igboland is merit driven, anything done on merit natrrally favours igbos. the under 17 team is 50% SE and carried the cup. If things should not be merit based and equal opportunity for the best to emerge, let everbody go and stay on their own. Igbos will never intentionally reduce their quest for excellence to comfort lazy ppl's fear of domination
