Anytime IGBO or SS comes into discussion, Afonjas run in immediately and start spewing their usual trash...Go and form ur own nation Mr unitt beggar.

Everyone in AkwaCross can form a nation, they national still womt be niger delta republic, its a NEVER.

THERE IS A ZERO DISCUSSION FOR NIGER DELTA REPUBLIC ANYWHERE, NOT EVEN IN THE SS, THATS BECAUSE IT DOESNT EXIST.

Quit disgracing urself

they don't have the right to grab any SS tribe by force, this is not 18BC. Ibos in SS will go along with their SE brothers
Stupid attention seeker, I know what you want is for Igbos to be quoting you because you'll feel vindicated from arguing with Almighty Igbo race, because it's a privilege for a person from an insignificant inferior tribe to be arguing with his superior, if not for that ,you should see clearly where the op said the Igbos are not dragging any ND minority tribe with them

If Nigeria is to disintegrate, you Biafran ethusiasts wrongly assume that ANY land (from Benue, Kogi to Delta, Rivers to parts of Edo State) that want or lay claim to is automatically Biafra without thinking that some other people will contest the right of Biafra to these lands.


The first problem will be

1) Which territory constitute Biafra?
2) Do other Nigerians aggree that these territories are Biafra?
3) Who is Igbo, who is not Igbo and who determine who is Igbo?
4) Where does Igbo land begins and where does Edo, Ibiobio, Idoma, Igala lands begins?
Very dumb post. Try again......

We did not form Nigeria, the British did. Its one thing for the British to do it, its another for us to try and do it.

If Nigeria breaks up it would be easy for all the Igbo speaking people in Nigeria such as the SE, Anioma, Ikwerre Rivers Igbo and Igbos of the lower to converge, speak one language, understand each otter and form a country.

However, when you bring Bini, Urhobo, Ijaw, Efik, Ogoja, Ibibio etc together, they will never understand other or be able to merge their different diversity to do so because nothing brings together. Most of them dont even know anything about each other except yo call themselves "Niger Delta".

Now if all Igbo speaking people down to Ikwerre people, decide to be one country, you will find that it is almost Impossible for an Efik man to visit a Bini man without going through Igbo territory. The number of waterways and creeks he would have to navigate makes the almost impossible
Azikiwe formed Nigeria

OfoIgbo: Actually, I expect Ibibios to be able to form a great nation. They have the right temperament for that. They gave Biafra some badass administrators like NU Akpan and of course Obong Efiong.

If Ibibios further join up with Efiks, Annangs and othe Akwa-Cross ethnic nationalities with whom they share certain similarities, the nation will be very attractive.
The only downside will be that Bakassi will be lost for good, as it will be easier to get with 10s of millions of Biafrans than just a few million Akwa-Cross people, but Bakassi is a small price to pay for ones self-determination.

No doubt Ibibios have more in common with Igbos than they do with Edo people, and even Ijoid people with whom they have common land borders, but still I don't see any obstacle if Akwa-cross people wish to join up with the Midwest to form a nation. But an SS nation will be too restrictive for enterprising Ibibios. An Akwa-cross nation will suit Ibibios and the other Akwa-cross ethnic groups just fine.
Besides Igbo, there is no other ethnic nationality in Nigeria closer to my heart than Ibibio and Annang. Maybe it has to do with close relationship my father had with characters from Ibibio and Annang. I do not about AU Akpan but Philip Efiong was Annang. You had thank Ndigbo for tagging along with Ibibio and Annang including the Ijaw of eastern region. Most of anybody who is somebody from these ethnic groups were student of Government College, Umuahia. Ndigbo pushed AU Akpan as the secretary of eastern regional government before he was seconded to Biafra. You should give much credit to Igbo people who allowed the minorities to stride in eastern region unlike other regions in the country.

Is that so? It's always funny to see people come on the internet and type out absolute crap. Here are the top 10 richest states in Nigeria:
Table of Contents
1. Lagos State ($33.68 Billion)
2. Rivers State ($21.17 Billion)
3. Delta state ($ 16.75 billion)
4. Oyo state ($16.12 billion)
5. Imo State ($14.21 billion)
6. Kano state ($12.39 billion)
7. Edo state ($11.89 billion)
8. Akwa Ibom region ($11 billion)
9. Ogun state ($11 billion)
10. Kaduna state ($10.33 billion)
11. Cross River state ($9.29 billion)
12 Abia state ($8.68 billion)
13. Ondo region ($8.41 billion)
14. Osun state ($7.28 billion)
15. Benue region ($6.86 Billion)
16. Anambra State ($6.76 Billion)
17. Katsina State ($5.99 billion)
18. Niger State ($6 Billion)
19. Borno State ($5.18 Billion)
20. Plateau State ($5.15 Billion)

Edo state is at number 7 is above all the SE states except Imo. Edo has a population of approx 5 million, with numerous untapped resources. We will be fine. Igbos should worry about their Biafra and leave the rest of us alone
Your analysis is theoretical...I doubt if you have to travel to Edo State for the last five years....the rate of poverty in this State is in geometric progression...Among all the crude oil region States, Edo State is one of those at the lowest ebb. Aside from your rich culture and some natural resources, I don't think there are any other good things Edo State is known for.
Common to think of it...if Edo State state on their own, how will its feed its citizens? How will he grow his economy when crude oil prices fall? How would it improve its social amenities or infrastructure,? How will it pay the salary of millions of workers in its payrolls without borrowing? What will be a currency? What will be their military and paramilitary architecture? What will be their religious ideologies? What will be their official language?

By the UN prescription, Edo state cannot carry the weight of becoming a nation....it is too weighty for them to carry....and the best region they can associate with is Yoruba State because if they merge with Igbo State, Igbo will want to dominate and indoctrinate every minority tribe among them...as they did during the civil war...

Recovering Bakassi Peninsula will be a delight for us,

I have strong optimism with Ipob alliance with Ambazonia,

Such relationships can open doors for Diplomatic maneuvers and compromise.

I'm from Cross River and strongly believe we can get Bakassi back easier with help of Ibos,
In case of there's a military assault by French or Ambazonia.... Then we can stand a chance.

Na 3 options dey

1. The Igbo people in South South should relocate to any of the SE states cos they are merely a tenant

2. Carry the land the Igbo are indigenous to in SS and move it to SE region

3. Repeat 1967 history to claim the land.
You're a funny man.

Yes Akwa-Cross can form a country on their own, but not with the former midwest. The reason is that should all the Igbo speaking people in SE/SS decide to form a seperate country, the Akwa-Cross msn will not be able to travel to Bini without going through Igbo territory
We would form our country if we fail to reach agreement with ibos.

Where you dey buy your weed?

I read a New York Times story from their 1961 archives with the headline that stated that the people of South Cameroon voted to leave Nigeria because they do not want to be in the same country as Igbos.
And what is happening today with southern Cameroon today ?

Bro please free that story,you have no idea about it. It's a very sad one.

My mum is Bamileke, and what happened in 1961 is a British scheme.

When Southern Cameroon voted to leave eastern govt in 1961 did anyone harass the people?

But look at the menace Paul Biya has brought on the people.

Despite all this yet ibo people still contributed to growth of Amba land until the recent crises.

My dad is cross river, I grew up Cameroon. It's not what it seems.

Ibo have their own issues but they are not the problem to anyone not Ambazonia.

That's why Amba are going in alliance with them.

Igbo didn't unite SS.
And you following Biafra without any signed agreement will be the worst decision of your life.
you a minority following Biafra without agreement is equivalent to committing suicide.
The oppression from the north against the south will be a child play
In a way he's right.

What connects a yako or efik and Annang man in Cross River and Akwa Ibom to an itsekiri, ijaw or Ogoni.....have you ever thought of the geographical set up?

Let's not talk about economy,

Secondly, there's no biafra yet.

Based on the political structure of Nigeria, yes.

But if you look at the way Biafra & Oduduwa Republics are mapped, almost all their boundaries seem to stop just outside Edo state.

Though I am yet to see a Niger Delta Republic map which would be interesting...
Brother I don't think there will ever be a Niger delta map.

This is me being real, There's no movement within the SS.

I have seen people talk about Edo Nation but not about a SS republic

If Cross River and the Igbos end up in the same nation, I am 100% certain the Biafran government will bring back Bakassi peninsula, by war or diplomacy.
It is inconceivable that any Biafran government will let that matter lie.

There's a few Igbo villages near the boundaries with abia along Imo River


They're called Ndoki people.

They're in Ukanafun Local Government Area specifically in a village called Oha Obu).

They used to be in Aba division in the '60s with larger Ndoki tribe but today state created has split them into Rivers Abia and Akwa-Ibom


They were ceded to then South Eastern state after boundary readjustment of the military regime in 1976.

It gladdens my heart for such to happen.


The indigenes of Bakassi Peninsula are also making moving for biafra too.

They've their own biafra group and they're very armed.

They've engaged Paul Biya's Occupational Forces in the land.

Under international law biafra has a legitimate case,due to the fact that they did not recognize any treaty or deal with Nigeria and Cameroon.


That Peninsula was administered by Eastern Nigeria till 1967.

All these tribes you named above doesn't have any language they share as one, but culturally they are closed.
Now take a look at Nigeria with three major ethnic groups which is good for check and balance but we are still complaining of oppression.
Now imagine all these small small tribes been in a country where only one tribe is majority (the Igbos).
Who will check there excesses (the Igbos)?
Now, let's look at just SS States; no one can Lord over the other. Even the SS with it's many tribes is still better than the present nigeria (we are all minorities, we have two major religion, our culture close).
