warripekin:
Please you can tone down your insults. We asked for upwards of 30% or more at the constitutional conferences held by OBJ and GEJ but we found out it was not going to work. As someone privy to the last national conference, the little we achieved was ably supported by the south east then then south west but northerners were vehemently in opposition. I believe we should aline with the south east and fight for a just course but to achieve that, we must define the tenets of our struggle together besides, most of us in delta state will rather form an alliance with Edo, and illages in ondo state and get our own country. Let's say Bendel republic. From some of the meetings we attended in the port Harcourt on the lower Niger area, I got to find out that most ethnic groups especially the igboid once would rather be Biafra than Niger delta republic should the case arise. Infact, an Ogoja man says he understands and buds well with ebonyi and efik people than an Itskeri like my self and therefore he would rather be Biafran. But those of us here in delta south is afraid of Igbo dominance in a Biafran state. But I believe in building alliances for survival. The Niger delta as it were has no voice or direction yet. But we are watching

I insulted no one. I was being point blank.
It is as it is.

Let me address a few things and you actually stated it in your post.

There is nothing like Niger Delta. Like you said, an Ogoja man has no connection whatsoever with an Urhobo and would not be part of that mirage called NigerDelta.
Infact, like I said earlier, SS lack wisdom. If you guys are clever enough, you would realise that the Igbo is, in fact, the unifying ethnic group in the lower Niger. Igbo has border and relationship with almost every ethinic group in lower Niger. Without the Igbo, you have no connection with an Ogoja man. Think!

Secondly, almost every nation created recently in the world was created out of a known border. Nobody recognizes your NigerDelta nor your Benin Republic.
It's only Biafra that is recognised.
You CANNOT be created unless you break out with Biafra.
Another option you have is to remain in Nigeria.

Thirdly, how could the Igbo dominate when the whole Igboland would be a single province just much as Ogoni as a province? You have your 100% resource control. The population of the people in Nigerdelta is almost equal to that of the Igbo and cancels each other out.
So just tell me and be honest, where do you foresee domination?

People get wiser as they grow old.
If there's any growth intellectually in the SS, they should have learnt one thing or another from Nigeria and dangers the future portends.

You have asked for resource control for over how many years now, asking from people that should not, in the first place, be in control of your destiny and your resources.

Unfortunately, there seem to be no wisdom in the SS.
How many of them know how long Nigerian oil are meant to last? If they do, they will know they don't have time. It's either they make full use of their resources now or suffer down the line.

You are asking for 30% from an Hausa man when you can get 100% from Biafra.
There's no wisdom, there is none.

Rather than grow old and get wiser, SS people grow old and get dumber.

Nice.
Okorocha should go to hell!

Every Oil reserve has expiry date.
Ask why some major oil companies pulled out of Nigeria.

You can keep asking Northerners for resource control when you could get 100% control of your resources if you use your brains!
Karma will deal with you all in 50 years time if you fail to utilize the 13% you have now.

Like I keep saying, delusion is a sickness.

This is the condition of living in many SS states unfortunately, when they should be like Dubai in a Biafra Republic.

Using basic laws.
1) A country exists if there's law and order.
2) An army can only fight a war against another army or an armed group.

Using these two basic laws, Biafrans can create Biafra by collapsing Nigerian authority in Biafra land.

How can this be done?

Do you remember how Berlin wall fell?

Pick a two weeks period for this to happen.
Stockpile canned food and water.
Mobilize the people stating clearing the plan and intensions.

If every man and woman in Biafra come out in a day at same hour and move round the cities and towns, Biafra will be created.
As they match in millions at same time across Biafra, every symbol of Nigeria will be removed and replaced with Biafra symbols.
Police stations will be ransacked and every Nigeria police man asked to go home.
Every army barrack will be ransacked and the army asked to go home.

If every Nigeria symbol is removed from Biafra by civilians, Nigerian government will lose control of Biafra.

There is as many unharmed civilians you can shoot at and you'll give up.

Lilimax:
The temporal building is not even the issue here but the heaven stench that oozes out from the make shift toilets.
I hate passing through that airport honestly.
The place is big embarrassment to the country.

Our oyel.
One Nigeria.

Hausa man will give us resource control.
We don't want Biafra.

Typical Buhari, he promises but doesn't fulfill them.

Where is the N5000 promise?
Is that one going to be fulfilled when you come back 30 years time?

haywire07:
S.tupid E,diot..y don't u take ur mum's pot and spoon, keep banging dem together and join the protest.
If not greed, common sense will tell u that dose silly protesters are suppose to gather money and bail KANU first b4 anyfin else .
E.diots been causing nuisance since 1963

You can curse away as you want but you can't hide the fact you live in a CAVE!
Kanu's bail conditions have been met since but a caveman like you didn't know.

tundamartin:

Shows your abject ignorance because Germany and Japan were two of the most supervised and inspected nations under the terms of their surrender in post-war era! This is why they excel in non-military economic activities, dullard!

Just go and return your certificate if you can't make a distinction between a nation and a non-nation.

Sack them all and replace them with Northerners.

The pain shall visit all those that sit on the fence.

Our elites will follow soon.

This is a long known fact.

This is the reason they get so mad when Biafra is mentioned.

abduljabbar4:
I dont see that "someday" coming in the next 1000 years.

Promise you'll use that rope if it happens in your life time.

abduljabbar4:
Bastard. You will get biafra in your dreams

You want us all to be almajiris like you?

It won't happen, we will be free someday.

lygn19:
one more thing that we plead from Buhari is to sight some of the refineries planned for Nigeria in imo state, as we are also part of the Niger delta and it would help us give him more support and in so doing create job for Imo people and Nigerians as a whole.

If he sites a refinery in Imo State, I'll quit social media.

The point is that you saboteurs are hoping for what will never be and have been dragging everyone down with you.
Delusion is a sickness!

Stupid Hausa reporter.

We don’t want a better Nigeria (Nigeria can NEVER be better).

We want Biafra!

My brother, I salute you.

God is with us, this time we will not fail.

Kestolovee95:
Hold it right there. Edo has a respectable monachy and Republican Biafra won't temper with that. The only Biafrans in Edo are the Igbanke(Igboakri).
The greatest resistance against Biafra in the 'SS' is coming from that axis. Let's use from that axis. Monarchical Bini will never be part of Biafra, but we will support them, if they decide to restore their independent Kingdom of Benin as it was before the lugardian curse happened upon them and everyone.

Whatever, but I think the powers of the Oba of Benin have waned so he would not be overbearing on the citizenry.

EUROBOMBER:
There are some things I cannot write here.

Just don't worry.

You've got nothing in you.
You are a mere nonentity.
Jeez, some people can be annoying.

EUROBOMBER:
Get lost fvcker!

I have posted now go and drown in the Niger river.

Ape.

So you can now shut your mouth!

You can't control 10 people yet you think you are smarter than a man that has millions of followers?

Delusion is a sickness, you know that.

Once again, join the train or shut the fck up!

EUROBOMBER:
You can never understand because ridiculous pride and arrogance have beclouded your sense of reasoning.

I smh.

Understand what?

Being cheated?
Just answer me.
Is that a display of humility to you?

EUROBOMBER:
Chest beater!!!

Where has all this braggadocio taken the Igbos all these years?

Igbos must learn humility and the ability to stoop to conquer.

Humility by being cheated
Seems you're a born slave.

ekafine:
only on one basis shall we support biafra agitation. if the the capital of the new biafra is sited in akwa-ibom or cross-river then the possibility of achieving biafra is 85% done. we have the capacity to produce resources to build a biafra that will stand dubai and asian tigers. we have the resources to place the new biafra on the world map to sit side by side with the 8 most industrialized developed countries of the world. we have done it in akwa-ibom with our resources and we shall replicate it in the larger biafra territory. uyo shall be the capital of the new biafra republic.

If you think blackmail is preferable to negotiation, then you can take your support and shove it inside there!

Nonsense.

Remain in Nigeria, the Fulani will soon turn your farmlands to grazing field and your families massacred for complaining.

EUROBOMBER:
Honestly Nnamdi kanu is not smart enough to handle this agitation, someone else with a lot of diplomacy and tact should take over.

Look dude, since you are smarter than Nnamdi Kanu.

I challenge you to not post a thing again on Nairaland ever until you create your 'smart' movement that could handle the agitation smarter.

Big shame on you if you post again here with no proof of a movement under your name.

You are damn dumb and an irritant!

This is one of the main reasons we should secede.
In Biafra, we could organise an army to defend our borders and families from the herdsmen that attack at night.

This is coming to SS/SE!
It won't be long.

We need Biafra!

But according to Benin facts history says otherwise. Benin was the dominant territory in the late 19th and early 20th century

What is this one saying

dejavski:
Can u post the 1906 map pls?

A little boundary adjustment will be permitted here and there but not wholesome exclusion of Edo.

asha80:
smh..abeg forget Edo or edoid groups as there is no way they will be in this Biafra thing 1906 or not.

You can go through the old world map and see the boundaries of all the countries created out of Soviet union or check South Sudan or Eritrea or Singapore.
All along long known and recognizable boarders.

Unfortunately, Edo cannot be part of Biafra only after Biafra creation and they are allowed to leave if they choose to.

Reality sometimes is hard to accept.

asha80:
Edo province?

Yes, Edo Province.

Edo is part of Biafra if we go with 1906 map. If we exclude Edo, we might lose Delta Igbos as well because they are not part of 1960 map of Biafra.

Biafra can only be created along internationally recognised boundary and only 2 such boundaries exist.

Xetima:
Structuring provinces as suggested may not be very possible as many places have already become mixed. Some places in River and Delta have mix of different tribes. This informed my suggestion on reverting to the provinces before states were created to bilkanise us. Anyway, this would be determined post federation is achieved.

Reverting to provinces prior to state creation would give us too many provinces similar to what we have in Nigeria.
Many of those provinces are not economically viable and will collapse with resource control.

Rivers know their boundary between Igboid, Ijoid and Ogoni groups.
Delta know their boundary between Edoid, Ijoid and Igboid groups.

Being structured ethically does not mean one ethnic resides there but as a nation, we'll have free movement of people and there will still be mixing after all.
