Igbochief001:
If Nigeria breaks today ...south east or igbo land is the only place that the GDP would instantly grow because of return of people with money and investment

We have access to sea alright ...abia and the rest even ebonyi ....if niger Delta would be wicked enough not to allow our ships pass the water we share ...the we would fight for it

Competition is what makes us great ....Igbos would still love to other places to do business ...but the difference is they would be importing the goods from igbo land

u people talk as if it's only Igbos that have money,so other tribes don't have money right?so other tribes don't have investment right?

adedehinbo:
religion will be the last thing a Yoruba man will fight over,if there re some other factors name them but religion is not one of them

i dont think yorubas would fight over religion either....

the people that should be more scared are south easterners with their pull down syndrom....

till today,they will not admit that their are many igbo muslims....

My Guy I 100% support Niger delta republic. But where I started scratching my head was when you said oil wealth and being the richest african country.

Are you just waking up from coma? Dont you see what is happing to oil in the future? Even Saudi Arabia is panicking because they see the hand writing on the wall and you are here waiting for oil. I already feel sorry for your republic if thats how you guys think.

na you dont understand....crude oil is not only for petrol....go check it out....

When Nigeria breaks up, it is not like to break up the way it is depicted above. People forget that a referendum is mostly like going to be held so that the various ethnic nationalities can decide where they want to be. If the South of Nigeria is to be broken into Oduduwa, Biafra and Niger Delta Republic, where will everyone choose to be?

Its most likely that Yorubas and others who are affiliated to Yorubas are going to opt for Oduduwa

Its most like that Igbos, Igboids and Igbo speaking people are going to opt for Biafra

Which leaves Niger Delta Republic.If most of the Delta Delta Igbos and Rivers Igbos, including Ikwerre, opt for Biafra, the Niger Delta Republic will not be possible. It will not be possible for a Bini man in Edo state to travel to Akwa Ibom without having to go through Biafra.

With Niger Delta split into two, Edoid/Ijoid on one side, and Ibibio/Ogoja on the other side, its very possible that Ogoja/Ibibio will opt to Biafra as it is closest to them, while Edoid/Ijoid might continue with the North as Nigeria

Good analysis.

Just that i disagree with the last bit that says the ijaw and Edo may want to continue with 'one Nigeria' with the north. If such a situation arises that would make them have to choose staying in Nigeria, i'd wager they would either prefer to go it alone or ask to join Biafra or Oduduwa.

There will be war over sea access between Igbos and South South. South East don't have access to sea except if they convince Ikwerres and Opobos to join the Igbo country. That's why the post says "unquestioned access".

Just tell us that you have poor geography knowledge

when the dredging starts they can stop us if they are able

stay in your south east oo....
argue who owns a river....??

have you all lost your freakin minds in the south east....??

dont mind them....they are landlocked....

dredgin which river....?? through were....??

rivers are not international waters....

OKOATA:
Bro I wanna ask you a question since you are a Niger Deltan, please why don't you guys just break up this nation, I am sure if you take over the oil those demon sucking northern/fulanis can go thier way but you choose to let them keep exploiting you. Why do you guys choose to earn peanuts while some northerners milk you dry, I am sure if you can initiate this breakup south south will be an amazing country, you have all the ammunitions down and your militants too, what's stopping you guys from being free from these leeches hosting on you, using your money to sponsor terrorism up and down, why are you guys just looking? I am a Yoruba by the way.

Yoruba man my foot,u igbos have realised that u can't do your seccesion bullshit alone so u are looking for every means possible to brainwash other tribes to do your bidding,that's y u call people different names like cowards n co

Adelaide2:


What would you do if they disagree? Go to war? You are very funny. They will likely disagree especially if you do not use diplomacy to make them see economic reasons/benefits for them.

crazy idea....
better we keep nigeria and solve the issues....

anything else is endless wahala....

Bur the UNCLOS law permits Southeast to get access to the sea via a direct river access even if southsouth doesn’t agree.

Biafra can win the case if they take it up in United Nations. Do you know about the UNCLOS?

No one can stop us taking goods through this part way bro,I know you don't like Igbo and is always against us but at least be logical for once

biafra is doa when they see your intentions....

If/when disintegration happens, let it just go back to the pre-amalgamation state (i.e Northern and Southern protectorates).
I feel that will be the best bet.
We all need each other in the South ngl.

not gonna happen....
that is when you stay in nigeria,then you have constitutional rights....

anything else is war....

Christistruth00:


Ndoki claim Ijaw, Diobu Claim Ikwerre and you heard what Gov Wike said


If the Arochukwu were not interested in reaching the Coast which they could have reached in one day because they wanted to maintain their business monopoly on slavery and European goods business they should have at least allowed others to reach the Coast.who needed to go there for hunting fishing or farming


When you look at Arochukwu on the Map and where the Coast is you will know they deliberately didn’t want to go to the Coast.

Ndoki claim wetin? Yoruba people eh. Too bad.

Ir doesn’t matter if you don’t want it to happen, laws are laws and Biafra will get access to the sea as long as they have a direct river channel to do that.

I suggest you read about the UNCLOS. All they need is to the take the issue to United Nations

There was a man in my place who said to his children, "I am going to buy dog one day". One of his children quickly stood up and said, "Papa if you buy the dog I will be carrying it". Suddenly the man stood up, took a big stick, hit his son and said," Do you want to kill the dog for me". The man's name was Nwoke Ocha.
Till today when you talk about an unrealistic idea in my place we call it "Nkita Nwoke Ocha".

Onye aturu ilu ma kowaraya, ego ejiri luo nne ya nara n'ighi.

Thank you for listening or reading my story.

see funny prediction. please wake up from your dream of a fevered mind, it's a forever distant scenario . none of those things will happen . no region is as homogeneous as you seem to make it out. politics will descend to a new clannish level. the same ruling class will be perpetuated by and the new set that will join them will be even worse. there will be constant threat of war due to border disputes. the south west have backed themselves to a corner with thier entrenched hooliganism and those set will seek to take over. bloodshed will be the order of the day.
The south east, that's a nightmare waiting to happen especially if they do not get their money above all mentality scrapped. again the false homogeneity will destroy thier nascent dream at its infancy, battle for supremacy and conquest for more land because of the geographical nightmare will lead to general poverty and before long several new "countries" will spring up here.
the north that's already a bloodbath, it will be a cesspit of blood. the religious minority will be wiped out. humanitarian disaster and even worse human rights abuses will go on.
the Niger Delta forget about it, it will be constant death . it might just become the river lands of West Africa( the place where wars are constantly fought especially by other countries. the battle ground).
most people do not realise that the worst excesses of each regions are checkmated by being in one big union. the want for the biggest price has always created a false sense of homogeneity in each region. let that be taken away and you will see the rise of two bit warlords like Igboho and kanu.

Predicting the unhappenable

u must b a joke,so u want yorubas to still b with Igbos with all these "we are better than them mentality of Igbos"....with all these hate of yorubas,an Igbo man will not blame his leaders for bad leadership but Tinubu is his problem all day.

if Nigeria break up today yorubas are going their seperate ways,we have had enough of all these unnecessary hate n dick measuring

Its a two way thing, the feeling is mutual. Don’t exonerate Yorubas from this.

Oshigun:


Stop talking about what you're ignorant of i.e Yoruba culture and the reality of how they have always behaved. Yorubas are deemed , arguably, the most religiously tolerant people on Earth.

All this MURIC and CAN issues are imported 'demo' behaviour because of the divisive state of affairs in Nigeria currently.

In a nation Yorubas control homogenously 100% , with no external influence in play, we will eat up the likes of Ishtaq Akintola and make him, without financial and vocal support from his radical Northern Moslem brethren, revert to the original setting that necessitate all Yorubas be Yoruba omoluabis before religion, creed or sectional affiliation.

Go and worry about your Igbo peeps who discriminate to hamlet level and have always done so long before the 61 years Nigeria has been an independent sovereign nation.

The disunity of Igbos and their penchant for discriminating against everything and everyone will be the real challenge for Biafra. You will likely subjugate and kill each other in the early years of Biafra where a naturally clannish people attempt to gain control over others who are different because of religion, creed, caste, gender etal.

But b/w Igbos and Yoruba, it was Yorubas that are on record of having serious internal crisis since independence.
Or you have forgotten operation wetie or Akintola vs Awolowo?
Can you name any crises of such proportion since independence among Igbos?

I tell something bro. you see Akwa Ibom? It's definitely gonna be part of Biafra...forget social media and online rants. I'm telling you the truth.

Daft and mumu talk. Some of you yeebos on this Nairaland politics section, it's seems Una no dey think before Una type

you wan force people....??

niger delta already has a militia angry as hell....

you think they will fight all this decades to share anything with biafra....??

Have you read about UNCLOS?
There’s nothing southsouth can do about it, the case will be taken to international court of Justice. This was the same way Nigeria lost Bakassi pennisula to cameroon and Obasanjo couldn’t do anything about it. He can’t try jack

Adelaide2:


If Nigeria is a zoo like many of us Igbos believe, then if we separate you should expect animosity that would result in unilateral seizures of properties from different sides. You think any international body can resolve that on time?

If Nigeria resorts to seizing Igbo properties, what prevents Britain,US,Dubai etc from seizing Nigerians properties in those countries?
