fregeneh: Really? Who needs them? What we are saying is that all Igbo among the minorities must have the opportunity to decide in a referendum. Also, we are aware that may of the so-called minorities actually align with Igbo, so a referendum will finally decide that. |

Eastlink:gowon created SS region on 27 may 1967 which is part of what triggered the war. The SS was created from SW and eastern region. Plz leave ekwueme out of it go and ask Google. He only suggested a power sharing formular based on the existing 6 regions, at the 1995 national constitutional conference NCC. So now they have twisted it to mean he created the SS region. Shame on the mods 2 Likes 1 Share |

Ever8090: Yoruba man, crying more than the bereaved. What is your own and who made you mouthpiece for the minorities? Assuming Imo and Abia have just 100 cubic meters of crude oil, are you sharing from it every month? Is that not why you shiver at the mention of referendum? Ibo no get oil, but the fear of Igbo exit grips your heart, why? Between Igbo and Yoruba who are parasitic in Nigeria? Who is more hardworking? We come to your place and do what you guys cannot do in 100 years. Haha...so Igbo live in mud house? That's why I said you should move around and not die in Ignorance. Just show me one village in Yoruba land that has a better standard of living than another in Igbo land and I'll show you 100 villages in Igbo land that is better than your best in terms of standard of living of the people. It is not by mouth. I laugh in the face of your foolishness. I actually love what you chaps are doing because it is actually making Igbos to unite and I assure you that that is the only challenge that Igbos have -finding that unity and we find it whenever baggaas like you try to become a menace, Better ask your fathers. When Igbo unite, you're just too small.....so better run to the Russians and the British and Egyptians for help. Anyway, I'm going too far....Fulani are already in your forests. Even before Biafra referendum, most of you would be typing from Republique La Benin. This is the joke of the century. A Yoruba threatening Igbo with genocide. How many yams did you chew? Ask Fulani how Igbo land is for them first before you cowards open your mouths. As I said, first drive the Fulani from your forests the way ESN has done before talking where men are talking. |

rottennaija: Noooo, Igbo don't have territory in SS. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is an Ijebu woman. Ifeanyi Okowa is Egba. My friend, another Ifeanyi from Igbanke in Edo is Awori while Mama Obiageri and Chinyere, my Rivers acquaintances after service are Ijebu. |

Real igbos have no plans of dominating any ethnic group in Nigeria it's just evil envious people that are spreading useless propaganda all over the place. If really the igbos have such plans Alex Ekweme would have never come up with this south south idea. |

I repeat, this thread was started by a sick person motivated by IGBO HATE! The title is deliberately contorted and devised to stoke the display of HATRED that has erupted on this thread -which was the intent. Ekwueme presented a six region PROPOSAL which he and many others across the country supported -incidentally including Abacha. Just like many people are proposing state police today -tomorrow some bigot will call it south-south police. The composition of states in each zone included proposed new states in addition to existing states! The eventual zone boundaries and component states are NOT THE SAME. Ekwueme DID NOT CREATE THE IDEA OF THE SOUTH-SOUTH ZONE as it is today -neither boundaries nor the names. The OP has a sick and hate-induced understanding of the article. This is the DOT-CIRCLE ideology promoted by the Bigot-in-Chief taken to shameless and disgusting heights. |

fregeneh:yes. Nigeria had her 6 regions created by gowon on 27 may 1967. The SS was created by gowon from the eastern region and mid west. The action was what led ojukwu to declare Biafra on the 30 of may 1967. Old google this key words "WHO CREATED THE SS IN NIGERIA" and you will get the answers you need. Pls leave ekwueme to rest in peace he had no such powers to create anything. All regions and all states as we have them today were all created by northern military rulers no civilian government created anything. Next, thing is google ekwueme to view his Wikipedia page you will see where he suggested , that power should be shared among the six regions in abacha conference in 1995. And old if you are sincere get back to me after you have checked them |

This thread exposes a lot of people who are totally incapable of reading and understanding simple texts. There are many reasons for this. 1) There are people who are consumed by emotions and who just rushed in to comment after reading the headline. It is abundantly obvious that they did not read the post. How? Some people are angrily trying to state things that have already been written in the first post. I mean, it's already there in the first post, didn't you read it? There are even some people that are claiming that what is written in the first post is the total opposite of what is written in the first post. It tells you that these people did not even read it, they simply made assumptions about what is written in the first post. They claim that what is written there shows hatred for Igbos. How can an interview of an Igbo man show hatred for Igbos?? What the hell in that post shows hatred for Igbos?? (ask them that question and they can't answer apart from ranting incoherently) Obviously those people are far removed from reality. These people do not know that they are simply exposing their inability to read and comprehend simple texts. 2) There are also some who are too lazy to read. They suffer from chronic mental laziness. Then you have the funniest bunch. You might call them the clown princes. These ones did not even pretend to address the issues in the post. They are only here to try and insult me (what a colossal waste of time), to derail the thread or to try and whip up sentiments. Look at their posts, there isn't even any pretence about trying to make an intelligent contribution to the issues in the thread. Absolutely none. You also have those who are desperately trying to manufacture facts that are not real. These things are not based on actual facts, rather they are based on assumptions. One said that Ebitu Ukiwe executed the 6 zones idea because he was the highest ranking Igbo military man in office. The truth is that he was removed from office almost a decade earlier, he was not the highest ranking Igbo officer at the time, neither did he have anything to do with the implementation of the idea. Another said that it was Abacha that drew the boundaries of the 6 zones. Abacha had absolutely nothing to do with drawing the boundaries of the 6 zones. The only states that Abacha created were Ebonyi, Bayelsa, Nasarawa, Zamfara, Gombe and Ekiti and none of them had anything to do with the boundaries of the 6 zones. No new boundaries were drawn for the 6 zones (Alex Ekwueme used the already existing boundaries). In fact, the 1995 constitution which contained the zones was never implemented and the idea was removed from the 1999 constitution because the constitutional conference had rejected it. It was the National Assembly (after 1999) that took a look at the idea, liked it and began implementing it via various laws. It had nothing to do with Abacha (apart from the fact that he accepted it for inclusion into the 1995 constitution). One incredibly funny one is claiming that Ekwueme did not create the idea despite the fact that Ekwueme said that he did. She probably knows better than the man. She doesn't even know, or cannot comprehend what the phrase, "Created the idea" means. Overall, this has been a very interesting thread, filled with some intelligent people, some juveniles and many entertainers. 3 Likes |
