naptu2:If people are left to decide the intent of creating a South South region, from your post, do you think they would call Igbos bigots, domineering, hate filled and other ad hominem you use to describe them? Creation of the South South was never a mistake, it was purposely done by an Igbo man to give collective and weighty voice to the minority groups of the South, and till today, that idea has remained effective. Why then do covert BIGOTs like you still term Igbos as domineering and hateful? If we are such, would an Igbo man have cared about giving a strong voice to the so called minorities? Why are you people like this? You created this thread to bash Igbos base on say some uninformed people have be ranting about the creation of the South South and how it alienated them from their historical/cultural neighbors in the South. But on a more reasonable thought, it should’ve been a thread to commend Igbos political liberalism then. Nevertheless, Bigots are Bigots, no mask can conceal you all. 1 Like |

Sincinnati: You see what I mean by bigots projecting their bigotry?? Please show me where I said that Igbos are domineering and hateful. I wrote about the noble reasons that made Alex Ekwueme to create the idea of the 6 politicial zones and you have been going all over the thread as if it was a bad thing. What the hell is hateful about creating 6 geopolitical zones? If it was hateful, would we not say that Bisi Onabanjo was hateful in contributing to the idea?? Would we not say that Abacha was hateful in approving the idea?? Would we not say that the whole of Nigeria, represented by the National Assembly, was hateful in including the idea in their laws?/ Did you actually read what I wrote or are you just assuming based on your bigoted world view?/ The basic idea was to provide equality between the regions of Nigeria. During the 1st Republic, Northern Nigeria was bigger than the other 2 regions (East and West) combined and there were always fears that it would dominate the country. Dr Ekwueme decided to address this issue by creating a balance. 1 Like |

tempusfugit:What would I call you? Lemme keep that first. Now take a very good look at the ethnic groups and tribes mentioned below, now tell us, from the Ijaws down to the Ogojas what ties does the yorubas have with these groups that supersedes the ties Igbos have with them? Even Ijaw that their land extends into Ondo State, a yoruba dominated state, are closer to Igbos than yorubas. This is no dick measuring contest, but don’t come here to distort facts and realities to suit whatever agenda you have. You may be Itshekiri or Bini, yes you’re more closer to yorubas that way, but you first claimed that the “South South” is closer to yorubas than Igbos, now I asked you to explain and you’ve come to talk with sense. It’s good though. Ayosman1: |

Igboid: Hahahahahahahahahahaha I knew that he wouldn't have a sensible response. Did those threads not show Igbos in a positive light? Is that not what you asked for. I know the trick you are trying to play. You can't argue based on facts, so you insult people in order to derail the thread. When that fails you try and derail the thread by talking about other things (as you did in your previous post). When that fails you try and shift the goalpost (as you are doing now). It's all a waste of time. I'm only moved by superior reasoning, not all these childish games. You can continue playing them by yourself. You have shown me that you are not serious, so I won't read or respond to your posts anymore. Goodbye. 4 Likes |

naptu2:So how many of your kinsmen running naked on this thread have you called to order? You were quick to write about how no one could have a reasonable discussion with you because a few people insulted you. Yeah, I admit that you were insulted by ignorant folks who could be Igbos, but on this same thread people have been insulting and making disparaging remarks about Igbos for the creation of the South South, and I’m yet to see you call any of them out, seeing they’re here calling Igbos names on your own thread that ought to commend same Igbos for an honorable act. Domineering and hateful has always been you guys preferred cliches when describing Igbos, yet history keeps proving you guys wrong. There’s no denying the fact that your aim of creating this thread was not only to impart knowledge, you had an agenda. Everyone could see it in your following posts. |

I am known on Nairaland for immediately reporting people to the mods (Some people even think that I'm a mod because I do not waste time in getting people banned if they misbehave), though the mods are not as efficient as they used to be.

WrittyWritter: There is no ethnic group called "SS people", stop being silly We have Igbos in SS who are still one with those of us in SE. So when you say SS is not one with SE. It's important you mention your ethnic group, because there is nothing like SS ethnic group. Enuani Igbos in SS are still one with Igbos in SE Egbema Igbos in SS are still one with Igbos in SE Ndoki and Asa Igbos in SS are still one with Igbos in SE. So next time, do well to represent your obviously tiny and probably insignificant ethnic group in SS and not try to hide behind SS tag that still have significant proud Igbos in it to spin your Igbophobic sweeping statements. We( Enu-ani in SS Delta North) speak Igbo. We ( Egbema in SS ONELGA Rivers State) speak Igbo We( Asa and Ndoki in Oyigbo LGA Rivers State) speak Igbo We (Isobo in Obubra LGA of Cross River State) speak Igbo. But you an Isoko, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ijaw, Ikwerre, etc don't speak Igbo, hence can only speak for your own group. 3 Likes 1 Share |

WrittyWritter:As someone said earlier you should learn not to use “We”. That's one thing that pisses me off with some of you. Are you speaking for my people who have never hidden their intention to join the South-East. Are you aware that we clamoured different times for Port-Harcourt state from the 1980’s to 1990’s but when it wasn't feasible our fathers began clamouring for Orashi state to be added to the South-East. The same applies to the Anioma who's intention was to add them as the 6th South-East state. While Naptu might be firm with his analysis of the geo-political zone creation, he wasn't upright with his description of how Ekweme envisaged it. Abacha created the zones and fine-tuned it to favour the north only. Assuming Ekwueme was in position to create the geo-political zones, I bet he’ll do the following. 1. Add Anioma, Orashi / PH, Benue/Kogi Igbos to the South-East. 2. Add Ilorin, Kabba and Itshekiri to South-West 3. Add Kaduna south, Kebbi south and Adamawa, Taraba to Middle belt 4. Add Ijaws in Ondo to South-South and all that. Everyone would have been homogeneous to their region and peace would reign. 1 Like |

ScamHunter:There's nothing like divide and rule tactics here, the way the Igbos fight with the other two majority groups as if the minorities don't have a mind of their own is so disgusting. Ask yourself why did Zik failed in these minority areas during the 1979 and 1983 elections. A typical igbo person has a domineering spirit and are very tribalistic, the oppression our forefathers faced in the hands of the Igbos was the reason they fought against them during and after the war. The Yorubas or Housas/Fulanis are not the problem here. Until you accept that there's South South region and that they have a mind of their own and can never be annexed to the Igbos, the better for you 5 Likes |
