What Will Be A Good Name For A South South Republic? by Nobody: 12:27pm On Apr 15, 2021
What Will Be A Good Name For A South South Republic?

Assuming Nigeria casts and the nationalities of the South South Region organize themselves into a new country, what will be a suitable name for such a republic? Niger Delta Republic seem lame. The word Niger itself is foreign as that is not the name the local people called the river. Biafra was named after the Bight of Biafra and Yorubas have chosen Yoruba Nation as a likely name. The only other Bight in the neighborhood is the Bight of Benin but some neighbor already appropriated Republic of Benin.

So what will be a great name to call a country that in essence will be made up of a coalition of minorities of the people of the Bight of Benin/Niger Delta region of Nigeria? Lets hear it from Niger Deltans. What would you want your new nation to be called?

IPOBS forever fooling themselves as usual. The OP called on Niger Deltans, not IPOBS. Let’s call it Delta Republic and we will be called Deltans. We can change the state Delta to something else.

Everyone will have a choice in a referendum. I suspect the result of the free choice of Anioma people will disappoint you.

All this thread here and there about Niger Delta in relation to Nigeria's disintegration, is done just to scare them away from supporting the dividing of Nigeria or joining their neighbors(igbos) in building an envious country.

And it is being carried out by a particular tribe who knows they stand to lose greatly if Nigeria divides. Not even the North.

You want to know the tribe? Time shall tell.

What is your problem? Why can't you igbos go on your own and leave Niger delta alone
Re: What Will Be A Good Name For A South South Republic? by hedonido:
South South Republic? With over what, 50 ethnicities? They have nothing in common.... no unifying language, creed or culture. I'm not sure you will find a unifying term such as Biafra or Oduduwa or Arewa.

It is a disorganised and chaotic assemblage of disparate peoples, mostly of uncertain or disputed heritage. So indeed, finding a befitting name for that country would be challenging. That said, I think their interests are best served as components of Nigeria or a prospective Republic of Southern Nigeria.

What is your problem too

Why can't you Yorubas stop putting mouth on Niger Delta issue and leave them to their fate sad

Let them be the ones to decide whether to go with igbos or form a separate country of thiers.

Why are you expending much energy in talking about the future of Niger Delta rather than Oduduwa?

What is wrong with you guys huh

Niger delta without igbos is more like extracting all the water from an ice block and expect much to be left.

Then who are you? Impostor? Opinion leader huh

By the way do you know where I come from and what MANY not ALL of my people want.

Go and sit down man.

By the way are you not one of the chronic and moronic supporters of this regime? No wonder you and your goons are jittery about Niger delta going with igbos or Nigeria dividing.

Don't quote me again I take God beg you because I don't roll with your kinds and forgive me for even quoting you in the first place because I forgot who you are.

Abeg don't quote me embarassed
