I'm from Akwa Ibom, Ibeno precisely, half Ibom and half obolo andoni of the eastern Ijaw. So Ibom republic or Niger delta republic will be ok for me.

Hunchogee:
Yes ofcos we don't need that name tag minority again.

South south is water locked. 2012 flood had almost all of Bayelsa submerged in water. And if predictions of climate change is real, south south should be wary of the yearly emergency crisis that would be hitting them. There is nothing to envy about the south south, not even our curst oil.

BKayy:
They think that somehow if the so calNiger Delta refuses to leave that Ndigbo will stay not knowing that no matter what, Ndigbo are leaving this piece of shit. It doesn't matter if we are complete talk less of another tribe

Elliot2:
You guys are annoying me now o. Stop talking about referendum for anyone besides the south east. They don't need it. It is stupidity to allow Ipobs to die in the hands of barbaric Fulani soldiers only to give referendum to a bunch of lazy and very stupid south southerners to decide to join Biafra on a platter of gold. Is it not madness? Biafra is dragging longer besides you all are waiting to convince a group of inconsequential idiots to join us.

BiafIntel:
You are daft for thinking that those writing all this imaginary south south and niger delta are actually the people of the Riverine areas of Biafra. These are nigeria agents and we know them when they come up with their usual nonsense. They are usually afonjas and mostly the half-educated fulanis There are many coastal people of Biafra who want to join us in Biafra and those people must be given a voice via referendum and there is nothing you can do about it. Neither your or the nigerian agents have the right to deny them their right to a referendum.
If you want Igbo only Biafra, then start your own group and convince Igbos to follow you. So far as the present agitation is concerned, IPOB under Mazi Nnamdi Kanu leads while others follow from far way behind and IPOB's ideology is that of Biafra of all Biafra nations. You are a man i guess and you have penis like Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, so stop coming online here to disturb us with your Igbo-only Biafra nonsense. Get down to work like Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and let's see your followers.

OfoIgbo:
Please someone should tell this phony SS Republic, to stop annexing Ibom Republic.

Ibibios and Annangs have shown a wish to have their own republic and that must be respected. Land grabbers everywhere.

Akwa Ibom is not a part of this SS Republic babel.

ChangedMan1999:
You IPOB are very stupid.

It shameful are painful that you from the same tribe with me.


Whether that map is real of fake, I don't know. What I know is that you should accept reality.

The people of Ikwerre, Ndoki, Anioma etc that are included in that map don't want you. They abhor you.

Respect yourself by avoiding them.


Lastly, you keep on screaming Fulani want to conquer NG, and no other tribe want to agree with you. Why don't you defend your land only, and leave Nde Fulani to conquer the rest of the country so that they people that you have been warning will see it with their eyes.

theTranslator:
Leave them alone

Your begging stinks

BKayy:
You just exposed yourself.
Are 60% of Ndoki not in Abia?
Were 70% of Enuani in that Anioma not destroyed by Ika and Nigerian troops because of their affinity with Igbo people across the Niger during the war?
You might be born from an Igbo mother but your paternity is definitely not Igbo.
We know that many Igbo women were raped by the Fulani during the war so it's not surprising that some of the resulting children are on Nairaland today.

KingOKON:

Yet that Albino suckling the breast of a woman every night in London while giving u blockheads directives won't leave the submerged region alone

BKayy:
Figure of speech for "my own land"

Will you shut up.

Onye Apari.

We have lost these people.
If they believe they are Igbo let them start saying it. Don't they have mouth.

Fweshest3:
Oga, if u like write your gibberish from now till tomorow, the so called ss/niger delta are Biafrans. Your divide and rule tactics won't work in this 21st century. I'm from the so called south south and Niger delta region and I'm a full blooded biafran. Referendum will stop this argument. It's gonna be one man, one vote. No one will be forced to join. So stop trying to be relevant. Before now, all of you feel Ipob have no balls, now that the formidable IPOB have succeeded in opening indigenous people eyes and is shaking the zoo to it's foundation, you all want to play your last card by trying to divide the people of the old eastern region. Lemme ask u a question, is ss/Niger delta a tribal name or an ethnic group? Black people worshipping the chains used by the white colonialists to control them. As a bonafide south southerner and Niger deltan, we are all Biafran and referendum will shock all of you. This is not the zoo election where one theif like Tinubu can come and claim Nigerian all over love him while in reality, majority don't like the idiot. Same with yahaya bello claiming Nigerians all over are begging him to run for president. And don't be surprised, in this zoo called Nigeria, these two criminals might still become the president against popular wishes and there is nothing anything of u will do. Is that a sane or working country? Pls leave us to decide. We were all Biafrans before the white man came to divide us. If your mum tie two pieces wrapper, you are a Biafran.

Fweshest3:
I'm equally from akwa ibom, oron to be precised. What is the meaning of Niger delta oga. If easy, why u be no start your own agitation since? Na now where Ipob don almost win u d claim Niger delta republic or ibom republic? Better be wise. Let's win against our common enemies fulani, after that we can decide on what we want via referendum.

mrvitalis:
LMAO na igbos call u minorities ? U are minorities my friend get a life

Hunchogee:
[/b]South South Niger Delta will never join biafra[b]

I came across this beautiful piece from by atbu1983 and I feel to share it with all of you..
Igbo are using the support they gave to Jonathan in 2015 election as blackmail to convert Niger delta struggle to biafra. Niger delta struggle is resource control and true federalism. This deception will not work. They only supported Jonathan because they got alot of appointments under Jonathan. They are just selfish and greedy people. Niger Delta Struggle is completely different from biafra agitation. Igbo supported Obasanjo against thier own son and hero Ojukwu in 2003 election, they should go and claim yoruba instead.

As far as I am concern Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa are all benefiting from the current system. After all an Igbo man Gen Agunyi Ironsi created the Unitary System for Nigeria in 1966 that we are complaining against today. Gen Agunyi Ironsi set the foundation for the destruction of regional federalism in Nigeria. if not for his love for total control and domination (The disease of an average Igbo man), Niger delta would have be enjoying 50% resource control today. When Isaac Adaka Boro wanted to form Ijaw Nation Republic in 1966 it was Igbo Head of State Gen Agunyi Ironsi that fought him with a 12 day war.

The Igbo claim to be one of us because some South South states were part of the old Eastern region. First of all, eastern region was created by Nigeria for Nigeria convenience. It was not a decision of the nationalities that made up the old eastern region. Secondly before most people forget, today Edo and Delta state were never at anytime part of eastern region. Edo and Delta states were first part of Western region later became Midwestern region, then change to Bendel state before becoming Edo and Delta state today. Some tribes speak Yoruba in Edo and Delta state. Why is yoruba not claiming Edo and Delta state the way igbo is claiming Rivers and Delta states because some people speak ibo in those states?

Igbo may have succeeded in brainwashing some South South people that they are one of us, it is a big lie. They may have succeeded in brainwashing some of us that only hausa and yoruba is the problem of South South, it is a big lie. They are the same as far as I am concern.

The problem with Igbo is greed, self-entitlement and born to rule, control and exploit mentality. Qatar is smaller than Bayelsa in population and half d size of Bayelsa state by landmass. Bayelsa is four times the size of Singapore. if Qatar and Singapore can be a country, why cant we have an Ijaw nation as a country? Do u think Ijaw people dont want to be like Qatar and enjoy their oil alone like Qatar does? Note: Bayelsa State is d smallest state in the south south by population and second to the last by landmass!!


[/b]Below is the size of south south states and south east states. South South is almost 3 times the size of south East.
Yet the population of South east is almost 80% of south south population base on 2006 census. But by the time you add igbo who are currently leaving outside south east, you will discover that thier population is more than all the south south put together. More than 90% of the resources (oil, gas, limestones,etc) are in the south south. The whole of South East is landlock with no direct access to the sea or atlantic ocean. but almost all the south south states have direct assess to the sea and atlantic ocean. Some will say they have River Niger. River Niger is not a sea or an ocean for big Ships.

Tell me why South South Nations will want to form a country with south east if they have a choice ? all south east will bring to the table is population and domination? The total oil production from south east is not up to 10% of south south oil production![b]

If you are the leader of south south nations will you advice them to form a country with south east if they have the option of forming their own country alone? give a sincere answer!!

As far as I am concern, as unbrainwashed south south , there is no difference between the Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. To me, these are three major tribe struggling and fighting for Supiriority. Whenever any of the three is loosing, he shout marginalization.

During Jonathan govt, the Igbos were gaining and were in control and were happy. The Yoruba were losing and were shouting marginalization. The hausa/fulani were not happy because they were not fully in control. For the North we can slightly understand because in the 16years of democracy (May 1999 to May 2015) the south ruled 13.3years while the North had just 2.7years[b][/b]

The Igbo don't love south south more than the hausa or Yoruba love us. All the three tribe are all struggling for the control of south south oil. None of the three is better than the other as far as we south south are concern.

The only place south south nationalities agree with Igbo is Nigeria should divide . However while south south clamour for succession is base on lack of true fiscal Federalism and resource control, on the other hand, igbo clamour for succession is base on IGBO BORN TO RULE, CONTROL AND EXPLOIT MENTALITY. Igbo make noise and claim d north have born to rule mentality because of Sokoto State former licence plate motto of born to rule which they have change. The People with the true born to rule mentality are d Igbo. it is because they are not having thier way that they are complaining and making all d noise all over Nigeria.

But how and why Nigeria will and should divide, what we want and what they want is as different as d distance of the earth to d moon.

South south want resource control or thier own freedom. we will support Biafra as Igbo only nation while they should support us to form our own nation or nations. But trying to add us as an appendage to Biafra will never happen.

If south south join Biafra, our individual identities will be wiped out in less than 50years. They will convert every south south nationality to Igbo. And they will so much take charge of the oil and resources with reckless abandon without any regard to d minorities.

LET EVERYONE FORMS HIS OWN NATION IF WE CAN'T GET 50% RESOURCE CONTROL. SOUTH SOUTH NATIONS DONT WANT IGBO, YORUBA OR HAUSA IN THIER NATION. WE DONT WANT ANY DOMINANT TRIBE TO CONTROL US IF OR WHEN NIGERIA DIVIDE.

They will argue that there are some igbo in rivers state, delta state and edo state. As far as i am concern Igbo speaking people in south south will join Niger delta republic or confederation. Their are Hausa people in Niger, there are Yoruba people in Benin Republic and Togo. Does that make those yoruba and hausa speaking people in those countries Nigerians?

The south south nationalities can form a confederation with United Arab Emirate template, where seven different nationalities came together to form a confederation with each nationality having some form of autonomy.

if the south east want to join the confederation they can join. We can't leave nigeria and go and form another normal single country were there is a dominant tribe. That will be moving from frying pan to fire.

Just like the United Ararb emirate asked qatar and behrain to join them, but qatar and behrain choose to form thier individual countries.

What Biafra represent is a single country with a powerful centre where a dominant tribe can control. South south dont want that. If we must fight or struggle for succession, we need a new name like "United State of niger delta" or any other name which clearly shows a union rather than a single country.

We need to set the record straight before south south nations make the mistake of south Sudan. It is more than Four years south sudan left
sudan to form thier country. Since that time south sudan has been in War while North Sudan enjoy peace. This was because nations in
south sudan came together to form a single country without ensuring that thier difference in ethnicity was fully discuss. Some
part of south sudan are now feeling marginalized. That is exactly what will happen if Igbo succeed in forcing south south nations into
Biafra. That so called Biafra wont have peace. It will be another Somalia!!!!

For peace to rain let Igbo form Biafra from the Five south east state and let the the six states in south south form a confederation or seperate nations. Anything outside this will never work.

I do not hate Igbo people. Many of my friends are Igbo. I only hate thier deceit and greed. what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
What we dont want is a dominant tribe simple. If south south join Biafra, that country will be 60% Igbo. How do you think other minorities can compete in that kind of country? Whether we like it or not we both know that Igbo are not diplomatic people by nature. That will lead to complete extinction of other tribe. in less than 50years they will make the whole Biafra Ibo without any consideration.

I dont hate Igbo. But i hate when i know the Biafra they seek is a Biafra with current south south as an appendage to it.
Why cant they support our freedom, and we will support thier freedom. Why do igbo make it look like it is wrong for Niger Delta people to seek thier own freedom outside Biafra? In biafra current south south minority will be like conquered people. God forbid that to happen.

a quote from Isaac Adaka Boro Autobiography (wriiten himself). Read Chapter 5 - Campus Politics
http://www.adakaboro.org/the12dayrev/chapter-5-campus-politics.
This was the campaign statement of his opponent for UNN SUG presidency:
"My opponent, Ejiogu, took the floor when I had finished, and what did he say? "Ladies and gentleman, this is a crucial time in Nigeria when we should not allow a vocal minority to rule an obvious majority.
These words still ring in my memory because, as my opponent put it, they are crucial not only to me but to my people, the Ijaws. Most of the alien students walked out of the hall and it seemed as if a spell was cast on the atmosphere. The campaigns ended solemnly and the result of the election was again one way. Ejiogu won with his majority. The last minute strategy. A Cameroonian friend of mine, John Ngole, promptly resigned his secretaryship of the Historical Society in protest."

I am very sure that Nigeria will divide faster if Igbo seek Biafra with 5 south east state alone and Niger delta republic seek a country with the 6 South south states alone at the same time. Once the Hausa and Yoruba sees that Igbo are supporting a Niger Delta republic separate from Biafra, they will see it as true struggle. But if the struggle is about Biafra with south south in it, where Igbo will gain south south resources with Yoruba and Hausa loosing out, I bet you until South South oil finishes, Nigeria wont divide.

If we cant get resource control, we don't need to form a single country with Igbo, we can seek for our separate nation on two front simultaneously but not on one front. What we need is cooperation from Igbo not togetherness with Igbo. If they truly want to leave Nigeria and liberate Niger delta people from dominant tribes, they should support us to form our nation as they form thiers. I bet you when that happen, the struggle will be half won.

The Ojukwu Biafra was Igbo dream not Ijaw, Esan, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ikwerre, ogoni, ibibio, etc dream.

In summary, my point is that why the primary interest of Niger Deltans is resource control, Igbo primary interest is seperation from Nigeria with Niger delta as thier trophy. Igbo wants a nation where they can become the lord, control and dominate others. Since in Nigeria, Hausa and yoruba are ahead of them in the power struggle, they resort to blackmail and cry foul claiming marginalization.

if Nigeria will divide peacefully by United Nations referendum, south south will not join Biafra. Peaceful division of Nigeria can only be into a minimum of five countries (Arewa republic, Niger Middle belt, United Niger Delta, Oduwa republic, and Biafra). South South will form its own nation/nations. The only way south south and south east will form a single country like Biafra is if Nigeria divide by War because population will be important in size of Army.

My Igbo neighbour may not like this submission, but it is the bitter truth

Fweshest3:
Oga, alot of South south and Niger deltan people have died in this struggles. We have Ipob family unit in all ss states and killing by the fulani controlled Nigeria army have been going on in those states cus of their quest for an independent Biafra nation. So do u want the sacrifices of such people to go in vain bcus of the ranting of few online individual who are not even indigenous to the region. Be wise, the enemies will do anything to divide us. Our focus is Biafra. After that, referendum will decide

Owontime:
Why waste your time writing this long post.
Who on earth would want to join Igbo people , dem craze for head?
Sorry but we're only interested in IBOM REPUBLIC.

Hunchogee:
Oga tell your Ipob to stay clear from south south ok

Hunchogee:
No wahala after all with money alot can be done. Maldive and Holland as similar issues but they are still on the map.we will be fine

ChangedMan1999:
It is foolish to be forcing people to be with you.

I have been telling my brothers here that we should be OK with South East and our people and land in Benue. Whenever I say this they will say I am Afonja or Aboki.


Many of you may thinking why must this Niger Delta man is say South South, when South South includes various Igbo speaking people.

Let me tell you, whether you like it or not those people are not Igbo.
We have received so many insults from different ethnic groups in NG for trying to convince these people to see us as their brothers and blood, but they keep on denying us.
Why don't we forget them.

There is nothing hidden under the sun. Their Igbonese will be revealed one day. And the same way Black Americans are taking DNA test and trying to know more about us Africans is the same way these people will knock on our door.

Don't kill yourself or waste your time. Every truth in this world will be revealed.

Forget about them.



Lastly, it is common sense that before you rescue someone, you must first of all rescue yourself. We haven't rescued ourselves from NG first, how can we carry people that don't want us, to be free.

I am an Mbaise man. For those that will start saying Afonja or Aboki.

We Asaba people are Igbos, and when the time comes for seperation, we are following our fellow Igbos to Biafra. This your South South whatever na una business

Asaba Man Responds On Facebook To Asaba Is Igbo Claims

Asaba Inlaw: "In This Whole World You Couldn’t Find Anyone To Marry But An Igbo"


Short story: One of my earliest and most persistent memories is this - near my village, 1 kilometer from Asaba, was a camp where people lived.
Who are they I asked - “Wa bu Ndigbo” I was told. Translation: “They are Igbos”.
I was confused. Aren’t we Igbos, but I said nothing.
Another occasion I heard some commotion in the direction of the camp. Oh don’t be worried I was told. They are Igbos. Again so thought but we are igbos!

Fast forward 3 decades.
A friend of mine from Aba who married from Asaba, over a beer told me “I can’t get over Asaba people. During my native law, my wife’s people kept abusing her in the same language I spoke. They kept saying ‘so in this whole world, you couldn’t find anyone to marry but an Igbo?’”
These are true accounts.
People from my area… even the indigenes of ONITSHA (I’ve been told) consider themselves Not Igbo.
I grew up seeing my people refer to others as “Those Igbo people”.
I have just learnt that the phrase “Igbo enwere Eze” was coined by core Igbos to separate themselves from the Onitsha indigenes…
Following that logic, Asaba nwere eze .... kedụ ka ọ ga-esi bụrụ igbo?
ka anyi biri n’udo nwanne m nwoke
m zuru ikpe m

It’s not an issue to be swept under the carpet. We need to consider it seriously.

Just because everyone in America speaks English doesn’t change their ancestry (some are of German, Italian, Russian, African, Chinese ancestry...).
Ancestry can only be determined scientifically by DNA analysis. My sister discovered she has ancestors from Mali, Senega... of course!! The river Niger flows through those nations before it passes the shores of my village which sits on the West Bank of the Niger net Asaba.

Bottom line, you cannot teach a man how to write with his left hand in old age.
The real issue is why so many Igbo speaking people reject the idea they’re Igbo. (Like some Egyptians in an interview I watched - who can’t understand why they’re considered Africans at all!).
Let’s have an academic discussion why!
We may learn valuable lessons.

Good morning.
