All these guys are learners. First of all, Ijaw and Itshekiri can not live in the same country because Ijaw will dominate by sheer number. Secondly, Ika people will never join Igbos in the Biafran Republic and their are other aniomas that feel the same way. Thirdly, Cross River & Akwa Ibom will stand alone and will not join the proposed Niger Delta Republic. Fourthly, the ONLY homogenous group in Nigeria are the Yorubas of SW Nigeria. Niger Delta is a mess of tribes that don't like each other; and unless the Igbos keep their eyes off Anioma they will never see their so called rising sun. Lastly and finally, Nigeria will not be broken up until every SINGLE drop of oil discovered in Lagos and Ogun and Lake Chad is completely exploited. So this your vision is vision 2170 A.D - So don't put your mind too much on it because even a thousand years after your death it still will be a vision.

what do u mean by sheer number between Ijaw and Itsekiri

madenigga:
At least m happy u acknowledged dat der are igbos in delta state, d earlier u lots wake up from ur pipedreams dat ur phantom Niger delta republic with any igbo tribe in it is as phantom as a Biafra republic with Edo in it or itsekiri d better. PEACE.

And you think I am against Biafra? Hello dear parvenu, I have no problem with your tribe. All I am saying is, respect the fact that Ijaw is d 3rd largest tribe in Delta so don't live them out

cheruv:
Oluku I've heard you... Sort yourselves out in Delta South

Next time don't post what u don't know. #busted #

Chiwude:
By Edoids, he meant tribes that are lingustically, culturally and historically linked with Benin. Historians and Linguist group the Urhobos, Isokos, Okpes and Itshekiris as Edoids.

aside Itsekiri, none of those tribes u named have affiliation with the Benin people. Surprisingly, Itsekiri is the smallest tribe in Delta State.

Chiwude:
Cheruv biko, leave Delta south politics for the Ijos/Edoids. Let them sort themselves out, don't indulge in matters you know little about. Please avoid the pitfalls.

Don't mind the "olofofo". There is no tribe in the entire Delta called Edoid. Delta south is 60% Ijaw

cheruv:
You've not answered me oo

which is? I v answered whatever question u asked so don't understand what else u need from me. Stop spreading stupid post, Edoid is not a tribe in Delta

IamAtribalist:
Why did you omit the Igbos from Niger Delta Republic? Isn't 50% of Delta and River State Igbo?

Who is giving u dis wrong assertion? Igbos in delta are not up to 30% let alone 50%. Even Urhobo is not up to 50% let alone Igbo

osabuohein:
Kalabaris are ijoid by origin no doubt but you must also respect their distinctiveness. They're recognized by law as a separate ethnic group. Let's respect it and see them that way.

please refer me to the law? who is the current IJAW NATIONAL CONGRESS Chairman and where is he from?

cheruv:
Carve what
Delta is composed of three ethnic blocks...
Igbo(Anioma) having 9 LGs
Ijo having 3 LGs
Edoids having 12 LGs

The Ijo LGs are bomadi, burutu and patani...are there other LGs in delta that Ijos constitute a 95% majority like these three LGs?

Who is Edoied in Delta? pls stop spreading nonsense. those 3 local government u r talking about are mainly Ijaw and nothing like 99% except Patani. Also, Burutu local government is the biggest in Delta State, it has a house of representative to itself and 2 state constituency. There is no ethnic block called Edo in delta state please. where is Warri South West local government and who has been the local government chairman since it's creation?
mods ban this man because he is spreading fake news on nairaland.

cheruv:
Mmm
This isn't a senatorial zone ish bro

so why carving out the 3rd largest tribe group in state to please those smaller tribes? If you don't know then ask before posting this rubbish thread. In fact Mods close this thread because it is a misrepresentation of facts.
Cc: mods

Is it a must to create thread? why separating the Kalabaris from Ijaw?

Chiwude:
Maybe he left out the Ijaw areas of Delta to the Edoids. But if you're in his shoes, where would you place them?

not maybe, he did it intentionally and this is the reason Nigeria won't grow. I for one is tired of Senator J.E Manager, who has been in the senate for the past 4 elections but the Ijaws are the majority and the Itsekiri/Isoko people can't stop annoying us. Carving out the 3rd largest ethnic group in a state is a mess and we shall continue to vote for only Ijaw senatorial candidate so that they will know these other tribes are like ice in Delta State. We single handedly made Uduaghan as the governor because our votes in Delta is always one sided.
Your question of where will I place them is unnecessary, you where to place them.
In addition, will it surprise you that from 1999 to date, if not for this Buhari government, the Ijaws in delta have produced 3 ministers, and the senator representing Delta South is our sole right. Let Isoko and Itsekiri unite to fight us, we will still win them because we are the majority. Name one Itsekiri town in Delta aside Koko which is the capital of Warri North West where you have 12 Itsekiri wards and 8 Ijaw wards

TheNonce:



Any _stupid group that decides to fight for any sort of rights using destruction of national infrastructure or killing of soldiers or people or kidnapping foreigners as a method of achieving its aims deserves to die!


Be they "boko haram, herdsmen, ipob, niger delta whatever or even opc!" Violence never solves anything! Only fools reason like the leaders of these groups! WE SHOULD NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS!

Gbam!!!

You don't have to blame any of the groups you named. Nigeria is a country where the peaceful ones are taken for a ride. Nigeria government doesn't accept peaceful agitation.

Foolish post if you ask me. Why? Because he left out Ijaws in Edoid. Who is Isoko and Itsekiri in the Edoid section or old Bendel section? where did you place the Ijaw which includes: Bomadi, Burutu, Patani, Ogbe ijaw, the Egbema Ijaw, the Gbaraunmatu etc. these are all local government areas. Itsekiri has no single local government of their own, the Isokos have just 2 local government areas and you here excluding the 3rd largest ethnic group in Delta State. The tribe that has sole custody of the Delta South senatorial district?

Niger Delta Avengers: Why Dialogue Is The Only Option:
I am usually taken aback when I read comments or news about FG preparing to lunch an attack or Buratai will wipe them out. If it will interest you to note, peaceful dialogue is d only way out. Declaring war on Niger Delta miltants is d worse mistake by FG. They aren't as foolish and daft as boko haram and fulani herdsmen. Imagine the hit at the Chevron platform, neither do we record any lost of life nor single injury. This is very clinical and can only be carried out by very intelligent and coordinated mechanism. Destroying production platform that pumps 35,000 barrels/day crude oil with just "one thousand, five naira" worth of dynamite is definitely a war FG can't win.
I know haters will insult me for airing my candid advice but believe you me, FG will and can not win this war. It will take Buhari hate years (if reelected) to fight this war. These boys are far equipt unlike the Boko Haram terrorist and are more educated on the know using sophisticated weapons.
Similarly, the terrain is not friendly that, you can located them easily unlike the Boko Haram boys who the whole world knows reside in Sambisa forest.
It is also my candid opinion that, the community will never reveal the whereabouts of these boys because they ain't killing innocent souls. This is in addition to the belief of an average Niger Delta youth who sees Boko Haram as a ploy used by the northerners to ouster Jonathan; they are likely to see this as a revenge to pay PMB in his own coin.
Long Live Nigeria!
Long Live Niger Delta

Mod/Mynd44, u r hear by ban for the next 1month. How on did ds dude become a mod?

ENZOSCIFO1:
Very childish talk, the military did not go to 'War' in Bayelsa during the election .....thats why you think any idiot in this country can defeat the military.

If Tompolo claim he is being witch hunted for not supporting a candidate he should go to court with evidence and put that up as defense against his 13bn land selling deal.

Which serious government in the world negotiate with economic saboteurs!!!?

agbaya, is that the only aspect you read?What about the issue of referring to us as 5%, in way that show we conquered people?

Proudlyngwa:
In as much as we need good leaders backed by moral and religious principles. There should also be a need to separate church /mosque /ATR from governance.
Over to the riverine people in the house come and defend your governor for sponsoring something that will not add any religious benefits to the state.

please we don't have any other religion in Rivers. Whenever Zamfra state stops Sharia law then we can think about it sponsoring Muslims in rivers for pilgrimage

GambaOsaka:
Odikimi,

I strongly stand against military approach to this militancy issue. From your post s and comments, I guess you are from the Niger Delta area. What do you think is the best solution to this militancy?

First of all, tell your APC to apologise to the region for Buhari's description about them as 5%.
The reason why I am angry with Buhari is that phrase "5%".
By that statement, he sees us as conquered region.
Secondly, tell your Buhari to be careful about characters like Timipre Sylva, Michael Johnny, Ayiri Emami etc. These are the people behind this bombing just to rob Tompolo. You can hate Tompolo or like him, but he remains how leader. He is the only one, I repeat only one who can put an end to this vandalism. He single handedly fought Buhari's army brought by Timipre Sylva to Bayelsa for the governorship election. The major reason Tompolo is being pursued today is because of his refusal to support Timipre Sylva in the aforementioned election.

Nearly 2500 civilians killed according to Environmental Rights Action



Federal High Court ordered the govt to pay N37.6 billion compensation

The Jonathan govt settled out of court and paid N15 billion, where did you get your N100B from?

I trust OBJ: He'll never pay.



General Ihejirika was threatened with same and nothing still happened.

Thanks for the correction but like I said, Odi is the 3rd largest town in Bayelsa. Forget that useless report, people killed were not even up to 100 let alone thousands.
Nigeria media is known for that. I am a Bayelsan and that is my L.G.A so take my story and live the rest for LAWMA

The Federal Government says it will partner with the Akwa Ibom Government on the
operations of Ibom Specialist Hospital, Uyo, to stop Nigerians from seeking medical
treatment abroad.
The Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, made this promise on Saturday in Uyo while
inspecting facilities at the Akwa Ibom government’s owned Ibom Specialist Hospital.
Mr. Adewole noted that with facilities at Ibom Specialist Hospital, medical tourism abroad
can be reversed.
“Visiting the hospital complex today is an eye opener, there is no such complex like this
anywhere in Nigeria,” the minister said.
He announced that with the proposed partnership, no Nigerian would be allowed to go
abroad for treatment on government sponsorship from Jan. 2017.
“We will partner to make sure that it works and reverses medical tourism. People from
Ghana and Togo can come to Nigeria for medical treatment.
“We will start using this facility, with this facility, no Nigerian will be allowed to go abroad
for treatment,” Mr. Adewole said.
The minister warned medical doctors to desist from running a syndicate of sending people
abroad for treatment for pecuniary interest.
Mr. Adewole, however, said that individuals could go abroad on their own expenses if they so wish but not on
government sponsorship.
The minister said the state owned Diagnostic Centre at Ikot Ekpene would be converted to Lassa Fever Diagnostic Centre.
He commended the state government for constructing the Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) at Ikot Ekpene to help
reduce the pressure on the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital (UUTH).
Earlier, the minister and his entourage had paid a courtesy visit on the state governor, Udom Emmanuel, at Government
House.
The governor had appealed for assistance from the Federal Government to make the state a healthcare tourism
destination in Nigeria.
Mr. Emmanuel said the state government had invested much in the health sector and would like the Federal
Government to help boost the patronage of the Ibom Specialist Hospital.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that this was the maiden visit of the minister to Akwa Ibom since his
appointment last October. (NAN)

It is really not that complicated, nah the civilians go suffer am pass.

Several hundreds of Ijaw people mostly civilians were wiped off the land in Odi

Every building in the town except the Anglican church was burned to the ground.

The world screamed out but nothing happened. The federal government paid around N15B as compensation
but unfortunately the deed had been done. The rest is history

Olusegun Obasanjo is still alive.

That is what you were informed by your brazen media? houses burnt in Odi was not up to 50 houses. Don't forget Odi is 3rd largest town in Odi. In case you don't know that, then keep quiet

wastedsperm:
No one dares the federal govt and expect a soft treatment. Odi community in Bayelsa was leveled by OBJ. All u people did was to wail and shout genocide. The shiites community in Zaria was recently leveled. Nothing will happen if the same is met out on the avengers. I just pity the innocent Villagers that will pay with their lives

wastedsperm, u really sounding like yo moniker, what was the aftermath of the Odi saga? federal government was forced to pay d whopping sum of N100b and Jonathan did pay them. In reality what was destroyed in Odi wasn't up to 10b. Moreover, you think this is 1999 ? the world has gone global, do it and see your Buhari in the Hague for war crimes. If I may ask, why did Buhari set up commission of enquiry on the killing of harmless IPOB? The ICC came calling and he did that in hurry trying to save his "goddam" ass.

wastedsperm:
i hope u vermins wont scream genocide when the military arrives. Ask the shiites and Nnamdi Kanu who Buhari is. They will give you answers

fools parading as educated people. So because of militants, Buhari should come and finish Niger Delta? Please don't let me insult your life this morning, I am not afraid of any ban so u better mind your senseless self.

marlockj:
Plz Wat do u mean by defending himself....... What is his lawyers for?...


Is he Nt alwys before a judge?

So defending one's self entails just standing before a judge? I see why you guys make stupid and unfounded argument. I think Nairaland has become children's gathering, I am out of this fucking forum with kids parading themselves as adults.
agbayas full this forum

wastedsperm:
It is better for innocent niger deltans to relocate elsewhere cos Buratai and his boys no get time for joke. The whole SS will be nuked and leveled if care is not taken. We warned you people that Buhari is not the weakling called GEJ. No amnesty for criminals this time. Do anyhow see anyhow. Your yeye oil is now loosing value worldwide and yet you fools think the way out is to blow up pipes and pollute your region further Lagos has oil, oil is been explored in the chad basin up north. No big deal about oyel anymore. I pity the innocent ones among u wey go share stray bullets. Rip in Advance to the stubborn Niger deltans

Some of you irritates me like seriously. Who the hell is Buhari? If Abacha couldn't finish the Niger Delta, who is Buhari? Pls pack well jare,

marlockj:
Yes them too are corrupt::: why then do we cry wen a thief wants to kill another thief::::

We that are clean here are supporting evil,yet the thieves wants to kill another thief,that Wat we cnt do......so why cnt we let the thieves kill other thieves for us....

Yes some cum from politicians I agree with.... Jst Lik Wat I saw during election....

My point iz this,if they actually cum from them n their benefactors..... those who are not their benefactor, shuld overwhelm them here.....

Also upon all the noise of witch,is it Nt nw clear to them that buhari mean business, more are arrested... those who protested to release their fellow criminal didn't get a pass,those who sponsor media to shout witch hunt,still didn't wrk, those who cry Dat buhari refused to obey court order,for a corrupt man...all this didn't wrk...

What does that tell them......

Mr. man, is arrest conviction? Is arrest prosecution? I make bold to tell you that, this government is laying a very bad precedence which will backfire in years to come.
If for instance I am elected as president, I must make sure no single opposition leader is prosecuted, I will persecute all of them and if possible kill all in broad daylight as baba is doing and you celebrating him.

I think Nigeria still have 200yrs to meet up world standard for democracy. When you talk about the undemocratic way of this efcc, some fools will insult you. who cares if FFK is jailed? I for one don't even like him, he talks too much and his allegiance lies on who pay him most. However, I despise a situation where security and efcc officials act as if they own the universe. You invited someone and the person said I will appear, then you put him under hostage. for what reason? I don't blame them, Jonathan had the opportunity of killing the likes of Tinubu, Atiku, Amaechi and all these useless people but instead he toed the line of democracy.
Some fools will quote me I know and they will remain fools. Prosecute corrupt people and not persecute by acting like some sort of gangsters

See the reason why I hate anything apc, they lie too much. Which billions? where were the billions? When Fayose ask you to use same you claimed to have recovered, your useless supporters in Nairaland will call him names

kolawaxxy:
Baba forget the hype and noise. They are not half as tough as BH

From an ignorant point of view, I agree with you. BH is not even up to 50% of the capability of NDA. The only difference is, the NDA will not kill innocent souls, but will disrupt our already comatose economy.

kolawaxxy:
So what should he do now? Massage the miscreants' ego by apologizing?

Not him, the Buhari I know will never apologise let alone apologizing for perceived infidels.
Let APC as a party apologise on his behalf, especially the APC of the aforesaid 2 regions.
If not, I can bet you with my life that APC will loose 2019. I know what an average man in these region says or thinks, they prefer to give more votes to a Northerner come 2019 even more that what Jonathan scored in these region in 2015. The difference between Jonathan and Buhari was just 2.5 despite the mass voting for Buhari in the North which will be an Herculean task come 2019.

kolawaxxy:
Just bear in mind, you can't fight the government and win. Condemn the NDA now or feel the heat when the FG decides to take them down with force

I am in support of Buhari taking them down because they are fighting for themselves n not me.
My point is, y giving them excuse. I am of the opinion that you guys need to teach Buhari public decorum as a president of Nigeria n not just North and West
