Ibom and Ijaw republics: What it could mean for other ethnicities in the South South post Nigeria.

Part 1
The sudden announcement of an Ibom republic was quite frankly unexpected. And expectedly it sent shockwaves throughout the Southernmost areas of the country. While many were still reeling from the shock lightening struck twice with a follow up announcement from the Ijaw ethnic body stating the desire to pursue an Ijaw republic should Nigeria go the Yugoslavia way.

Prior to this time the de facto stance amongst people in the South South region was that the area would secede together. And though there has been no process or move by concerned ethnicities to consolidate that position, it remained the consensus, and most proponents argued strongly to the affirmative whenever called upon.

Therefore the announcements by two member states of the zone to pursue their respective independent nations came as a rude awakening to many. Consequently any hopes towards a South South country is in jeopardy and also, the need for some critical indices to be reconsidered and reaccessed across board has now become apparent. One of such indices would be unrestricted sea access.

In a South South country as desired by proponents sea access was the least of concerns. And understandably so. This is because any such country would have had more than half of Nigeria's 853km of coastline to itself. And good harbor locations. Added to this, any such country would have already in existence 4 working ports in Onne, Port-Harcourt both in Rivers State, Warri Port in Delta state, and Calabar Port in Cross River. Hence sea access was never a debate on the front burner. Till now.

Going by this recent announcements, if such countries were to be carved from the South South territories this would leave some erstwhile comfortable tribes feeling uneasy. On the Northwestern end of the South South are the Benin in Edo state and the Urhobo/Isoko peoples in Delta state. With an Ijaw republic owning virtually the entirely coastline of Delta state, the aforementioned groups would find themselves effectively landlocked. Pix attached below.

Had the Urhobo/Isoko and Benin being in the same country as the Ijaw as was the de facto arrangement (NDR) this situation wouldn't have come about.

It therefore stands that any would be country to be formed by the Benin and Urhobo (if any) would need to sail through Ijaw territory. A situation that may bring about complications.

Added to the issue of unrestricted sea access, as plans for a NDR go out the window, the aforementioned groups as well as others are now weighed with the task of finding new allegiances. Here, age long historical and cultural ties come into play as well as sentiments of similitude and kinship. Other noteworthy considerations would be demographic factors.

For the Urhobo/Isoko they may opt to merge with the Benin peoples as one country. Pix attached below.

Possibly with the Itsekiri tagging along. The basis for this union would be on a historical and cultural basis. In the Benin situation they have the options of joining the Urhobo/Isoko and Itsekiri to form a nation as early highlighted, or they opt to join Oduduwa republic westward.

SenatePresdo:
We Niger-Deltans will not gree.

The Enemies will not Succeed, we are too United to be Divided.

You mean, we Bini people will no longer have access to our Niger-Delta oil?

We the Good people of Niger-Delta rejects it.

Niger-Delta is one and indivisible.

kmcutez:
The Op wants to pit the Ijaws against Urhobo/Isoko/Itsekiri/Edo. It’s not going to work. The Ijaws do not own the coastline of Delta State. I’m very sure the writer of this article is Igbo.

htdot:
Is only ipob that are against the ss unity... yorubas and hausas have not in any way be against the unity of the ss.

Ezeama400:
Inside you you know we are not united, the only thing uniting us is Geo political zone..

You want some of us to hate SE Ibos because some of us Ibos of SS extraction found ourselves in another geo political zone...


U must be a clown.. ..

Stop the hatred, it won't take you to anywhere.. You will end up destroying yourself..

Bye

SlayerForever:
You're claiming Okrika owns PH. And you say you know what you're saying. When Ijaw republic comes add PH to it let us see.

Graysons:
Port harcourt is own by two people.
The ikwerres own half of it
The Okrikans own the other half.
These two ethnic groups are the owners of port harcourt Opobos do not own any land in Port harcourt not even an inch, just clearing your ignorance.
And btw, Port harcourt is not an igbo city and neither is Opobo an igbo clan.
Hi

BKayy:
But I thought we've all come to the agreement that names, language and culture doesn't define who is part of a larger ethnic group taking the case of Igbo in SE vs SS in consideration

Anago55:
. Says a yoruba man!

You forgot to mention that you are from the Niger Delta today. Wetin happen?

Graysons:
Okrika people own half of it, or you think station road, yam zone and township (town) belongs to igbos? Lol.
When we have our ijaw republic we are going to add all those places i mention as part of ijaw republic, because those places belongs to Okrikans who are ijaws, and we ijaws are not going to allow you igbos to add our people lands into your bia nonsense.
And there's nothing you, your fathers, or your ancestors can do about it.

Graysons:
You are a clown! Are ijaws not Niger deltans?
And btw, i have never scream Niger delta, i always rep izon

htdot:
Na them, the land grabbers and the chest beaters... They wanted to grab lagos but the yorubas did not allow them. Now they are down to grab PH of which the okrika will whip them out of PH...

Graysons:
Go and merge those places i mention into your biafra nonsense and let me see who will do the crying.

SlayerForever:
No PH in Ijaw Republic . If we're being realistic the Ijaw won't even dare mention PH as their territory. Forget online troll like you. We all know history

Graysons:
Where in my comments have i ever claim to be yoruba? How about this, show me screenshots of me saying that i'm yoruba or forever hold your peace, i don't have time for confused jew this morning.

You know within yourself that you are lying to yourself alone.
Make Opobo people no catch you for bending corner

SlayerForever:
Take note na Ikwerre boy be that. He's on the fence concerning his identity.

RobbStark:
This their sudden love for the Opobo people just dey tire me.

Even Ogoni that is closest to Opobo, don't claim brotherliness, na Ibo.

They shud continue attaching themselves to people who have nothing in common with them, e go clear soon
