Currently there is something like South South... except you don't live in Nigeria.... Secondly from the comments above, you will realize that most people from the South South don't want to be part of any thing Biafra... The earlier Biafra focus on only the South Eastern States the earlier they will achieve it... Edo and Delta will rather be alone among themselves or with other South South States than to be part of Biafra... People are wiser now... Although I wish Biafra good luck... But they should focus on their states and how to build alliance with other regions in the South...


Unfortunately, you guys will not listen... I am not a fan of Wike, But I think his body language and speech should make you guys have a rethink about wanting to force South South to be part of Biafra cos it will never happen

9jakool:

Actually that's not why they left, that's just propaganda. Nearly 1/3 of the ministerial positions of the old western region was given to non-Yorubas.

If you were given a choice to have your independent state, then why wouldn't you want your own state to yourself? it's like saying Delta became a state because of they were being oppressed by the Binis.

Oga go sleep make I nor from here tear you conk

OsuAmaka:

The margin was huge because Azikiwe was the slimy devil who manipulated the minorities towards his Agenda.
While Midwest was being carved out, Awolowo, the leader of Western region and Enahoro, the leader of the Western minorities were in jail, so it became much easier for Zik to use both his Media propaganda and Federal might to influence the minorities.

Below is Ministerial appointment under Eastern region compare both regions

You speak ignorantly because you don't know your history. Maybe because you're not taught.
Bayelsa bear Yoruba names. Yoruba is visible in Edo language, history and culture.

We are speaking fact here not Ipob propaganda or insults

So because of names now you feel Edo & delta people are Yoruba? If you’re not ignorant you will know that it’s not by names but by character. People can bear different names nowadays because of intermarriage between tribes. Start judging by how people behave and judge by that.

Kzinne:
u are a fuul. How many people are the binis or esans that they can manage a country??

You are fool for not knowing that only edo state is bigger than some countries of the world (infact only edo south )


Small small children for afonja land go just wake up then start to type rubbish online



The op is a capital fool to think an edo man that have not visit SW understand Yoruba language ( I nearly faint when i read that part)

Good morning fellow NIGERIANS.
I am here this morning to write facts and nothing but the truth.

I have been reading some misconception about the people of the Niger deltans concerning Biafra.
Now let me tell you all facts.
An average person from delta state and Edo speaks Yoruba language very fluently, infact apart from English and our normal Edo, ijaw, urhobo, isoko and itsekiri language, our third most spoken language of the people of Niger Delta is the "Yoruba language"
You can take this to the bank and cash it anytime any day.

For example if you go to mile two, mile twelve, Berger and the rest, most of the people, most of the guys you will see in those bus stops particularly in transport companies, most of them are from delta state and Edo ( urhobos In particular)

But the way they speak Yoruba, you will think they are Yorubas.
Contrary to the normal general believe that lots of Igbos are in lagos, apart from the Yorubas who are the legit owners of Lagos State, the second highest concentration of people in lagos state are the people from delta state and Edo.

In Osun, Oyo, Ondo and the rest states of the Yoruba nation, the second most concentrated people in those states are the urhobos and the people from delta and Edo.

Have you been to Ile ife? There are more urhobos in Ile ife than in the entire south east.

The people of delta state and Edo are like twins to the Yoruba nation.
Africa magic Yoruba has the highest viewers from delta state and Edo even more than some Yoruba states, only Lagos top us when it comes to Africa magic Yoruba.
This is not mere propaganda or some lies, i am writing raw facts here.
The people of Niger Delta, delta and Edo and yourbas have this Lionel Messi/Suarez kind of relationship. The love is Genuine.

Do you know that 50% of people from delta, Bayelsa and Edo grew up in south west?

You will hardly ever see an ijaw man or urhobos or Edo, itsekiri man, leaving in south east, it's almost impossible.
Even looking at transportation. 99% of flights and busses coming out of delta, Edo and Bayelsa State are all heading to south west.

Have you been to ore?

My whole point is that i believe in one
Nigeria but if eventually Nigeria breaks, I don't know about Calabar or Akwa Ibom
but the ijaws in porthacourttt and entire deltans, Bayelsa and Edo will rather form a United Kingdom with oduduwas just like the united kingdom and Scotland with Lagos being England.

The Gods have spoken and so shall it be.

Court rise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The united kingdom of oduduwas will be the most prosperous nation on earth.

Note!! I have nothing against the Ibos, i am only speaking raw truth.

Everybody just dey talk anyhow

Anywhere na Buhari l blame.

One Nigeria l use to believe in is fading before my very eyes.

Jennycoolz:
One thing is for sure

You see EDO STATE that state can be a country of its own and they won't lack
They have it all I must be honest

They don't behave like the Yorubas , in fact it's only Benin city that you can find few people who speaks yoruba fluently not every other part of the state

Edos are business wise
Politically ok
Scammers yeah , they're top notch
They have pretty ladies you can't take that from them
They're internationally recognized whether for good or bad reasons lol
Witches and wizards
Musically good , with the likes of Rema, Dremo, Johny drille, cynthia morgan to mention a few

Now that's why they're the only state in Nigeria abi UAR with the motto





HEARTBEAT OF THE NATION

Please I need to correct sth here


The people in Benin city that speak or understand Yoruba is either Yoruba or have lived in yoruba land b4


I repeat no edo person that have not visit Sw understand Yoruba language


Please let's be guided because am Edo myself
And I live in upper Sokponba road

Keep fooling yourself, the remote causes of the referendum, Yorubas championed tribalism, they were using the resources of mid West to develop typical Yoruba clans, ministerial appointments were dominated by Yorubas, during regional government Western region was only region to be engulfed in crises, immediately midwest decided to leave the union, perio to referendum Yoruba media started smear campaign against Benin people people to create fear to the of midwest for them not to leave, at the end they massively voted to leave, below is Ministerial appointment under Westerner union

All tribes were represented and it wasn't unexpected that the majority would have more representation. Same applied in the Eastern region just as much as today's majority/minority 95/5% appointments.
Yoruba being the major producer of Cocoa & (Ondo)one of the largest palm oil & palm kernel producer in the country is a fact of history, Never Ever in doubt.
The crisis that engulfed the West was an agenda of the Zik's federal led government to rig elections in favor of their annointed candidate. The West resisted.
The creation of Midwest was never a loss to the West. In fact, Awolowo was a strong proponent of the minorities having their seperate states from the West, East & North. The debate was held at the Federal house and was approved. While the West allowed referendum, Zik & Ahmadu Bello refused the agitation for COR & Middle belt states.
Zik struck his deal when Awo & Enahoro were in jail. He knew Awo & Enahoro would have insisted that All minorities across the 3 regions had referendum.
As luck would have it, Zik fell out of favor with his master, stripped of his powers & he regretted ever after.

-Osu amaka

Igboid:


That's the problem with you minorities.
Every single help Igbos render you lots is never appreciated or taken at face value, it's usually twisted to sell your Igbophobic Agenda.
Even as we speak, Ijaws are already saying that Igbo support of GEJ was not about supporting SS but more about Igbo hate for Buhari and what Igbos gained from GEJ.
When I asked them for GEJ projects in SE, they couldn't mention any.
In comparison, for two times Zik competed for presidency in 1979 and 1983. He never got up to 10% of votes from minorities, even Awolowo got more from Old Rivers, old Cross River and Bendel States than Zik did. And no one needs any soothsayer to know that if an Igbo presidential candidate emerge today, he will still get same Zik treatment from minorities.
It goes without saying that the Igbo MUST re-evaluate the way and manner we relate with southern minorities.

Back to the Midwest referendum. Eastern region threw weight behind it mainly because of Anioma people led by Dennis Osadebey who were staunch NCNC members and were pushing for it.
There was Okotie too who was in NCNC and was pushing for it as well.
Weakening Western region was an added incentive but not the main driving Force.
It's always been this way with you lots.

It was a known fact that NCNC & NPC needed to weaken AG and when they saw the perfect opportunity, they keyed into it, perfect political play! Also, I don't see the need for you to tag my opinion igbophobic. This is us debating past events and me presenting my facts based on my little understanding.

You said NCNC threw their support for The Midwestern referendum mainly because of Anioma, now if I may ask, why didn't they support the deployment of Western Igbos to the eastern region as raised by some western legislators? Infact, they were attempts by some groups in Asaba to make this possible but instead, NCNC focused more on the creation of Midwest.

like I've said, every party had something to benefit, reason for the collaboration and the massive acceptance of NCNC in Midwest. The minorities needed freedom, the NCNC needed to weaken and expand its influence.

So it's not the North imposing rulers on Anioma people when they watched Osadebey who was rightful democratic ruler of the region deposed for Ejoor a military imposition?
Did the non Igbos resent Ejoor imposition as Northern imposition?
They didn't because it doesn't matter who was imposing who, they were more interested in who was imposed.
That's the way I see it anyway.

BTW, I like the maturity in your replies. Thanks for that.

Wasn't it Aguiyi Ironsi who made Ejoor the governor of Midwest after the January 1966 coup? Forgotten that Ejoor was among those targeted by the coup plotters to be terminated but outsmarted the assassins?

Infact, Ironsi couldn't trust Ejoor in Enugu any longer, he had that relocate him to Benin.

During 1960 and 1961, fundamental tensions in the Action Group had begun to crystallise and then to surface. To a significant degree, the brewing crisis stemmed from the staggering defeat of the Action Group in the 1959 Federal Elections, which left Chief Awolowo stranded in opposition at the centre without a firm base of power resources and at the same time compelled him to devise a fresh strategy for building a national political majority. Defeat led him to more strident opposition, while convincing his party’s more conservative businessmen and traditional rulers of the futility of political pursuits beyond their own region. Increasingly, the party found itself sharply divided over ideology, political strategy and party control between the rival factions of Party Leader Obafemi Awolowo and Regional Premier Samuel Ladoke Akintola.

All the three parties sought to weaken each other.

You said NCNC threw their support for The Midwestern referendum mainly because of Anioma, now if I may ask, why didn't they support the deployment of Western Igbos to the eastern region as raised by some western legislators? Infact, they were attempts by some groups in Asaba to make this possible but instead, NCNC focused more on the creation of Midwest.

Because only Anioma wouldn't have been able to generate the energy needed to break free from Ibadan grip. A synergistic coalition with the Binis (Oba Bini played a big role in midwest creation) and the Edoids (Ebitu Okotie played major role too) looked to be a better bet at getting the job done.
You get the feeling that once midwest was created, it was a matter of time before Anioma would have merged with Eastern region if the coup didn't happen.

like I've said, every party had something to benefit, reason for the collaboration and the massive acceptance of NCNC in Midwest. The minorities needed freedom, the NCNC needed to weaken and expand its influence.

Nope. An ungrateful person can always cynically assign twisted reasons for why someone he has prejudice about helped him.
For example if you give him food when he is hungry, he would claim you only gave him food because doing so puts you in God good books and would in turn help you go to heaven.
So yeah. I understand perfectly your mentality over there.

Wasn't it Aguiyi Ironsi who made Ejoor the governor of Midwest after the January 1966 coup? Forgotten that Ejoor was among those targeted by the coup plotters to be terminated but outsmarted the assassins?

Infact, Ironsi couldn't trust Ejoor in Enugu any longer, he had that relocate him to Benin.

Yes Ironsi did. But Ejoor always had predilection for the North and always viewed the East with suspicion.

Well Nigeria will never divided. But in other words I noticed something about southeast even during ojukwu lifetime he was looking for United southern Nigeria. Believe that the enemy are Fulanis and Hausa but the way he handled everything spoiled it.

I still believe that igbo and Yoruba get along very well regardless of our differences.

u southern folks are cunny, as far as am concerned u folks are more united than u act in d open. Yorubas &igbos don't fight to kill but here hmmm wayo Allah

A staggering defeat of AG in 1959?. How dumb.
There was no clear winner in the federal election. Neither AG, NCNC or NPC had a clear lead to form a Government, therefore, a need for a coalition Government.
NCNC, NPC went into Coalition while AG was the opposition. Hope you learnt something new?

Lol... And you think the South South will be foolish enough to join either Oduduwa or Biafra... Note: I have nothing against these two ( Oduduwa and Biafra)

I wish Biafra will understand that the people of South South actually sympathize with them... Infact many of us have ties with Igbos... But they should get it clear.... South-South will rather stay alone as Niger Delta Republic... Than to foolishly join Biafra or Oduduwa and suffer the same Fate the Igbos suffered in Nigeria... Although it's better for Nigeria to be One but it's better for the country to split than go into another Civil War....

I wrote this thread below in 2017

In the event that Nigeria eventually splits up, how about the Igbo-speaking people in the South South? Where do you reckon they will align?

It's no crime if they want to move over to the South Eastern States or if they want to have dual citizenship... As for me, I have strong links with the East and South South.... I also know that Igbos have been treated unfairly after the Civil War so I sympathize with them... It's better to let them go in peace.... Without sentiments I can say that many persons in the south south sympathize with the Igbos but that doesn't mean majority want to be part of Biafra... I love Igbos n I hope they get there freedom from Nigeria...

I'm from delta and I don't even understand Yoruba, never seen any deltan that understands Yoruba bcus that's where I live.
Can u stfu Pls? Who told you we want to form a country with betrayers? You guys betrayed us in 2015 hence we shall do the same bcus it's so obvious that it's oil you want! Buzz off man. Anything other than a Niger Delta Republic shall be brushed off! Idk about Edo state. I lived 10yrs in Benin city, ikpoba hill, and I doubt if they would agree with you. Maybe you should consult Edodefence.

Meanwhile you may be right about most some deltas who lived a part of their life in the south west, bcus my mom did. She speaks Yoruba too and my grandpa from her side is Yoruba
