i we reply most of you guys that quote me with the same write-up so that you all get the notification together.
the same way ojukwu lead 3 millon igbo to their death and then ran away, is the same way most of you we end.

Ojukwu also thought he would win the war and ended up a loser.

Most of you just talk without thinking. Nnamdi Kanu today is the detention facility of the dss with all of his talking without thinking and all the Unknown gun men are now automatically mute or completely dead.

Where is ths American that want to help you fight for Biafra.

Incase you dont know benin republic have military pac with france so as the francophone africa country, Nigeria can not just invade them...

The way and manner some of you think, the imaginary independent state of Biafra and Oodua can never the achieved.

The tigra region of ethiopia have other regions in the same ethiopia supporting there struggle.

If you think you can get the independent you deserve from the Nigeria state because you are brave and all knowth, what are you still waiting for, get it now and stop coming to nairaland to say rubbish. Get it without involving the SS and ND people. Why wait for the SS and ND people to join you get your independent state when you have spine's and can get the job done alone. Mo.ron everywhere

It's such an oppression.
Not different from Talibans taking over Afghanistan.

Tueh. I spit on one Nigeria



My oga, its conspiracy between both.

Not on anyone's side.

Honestly, we have played enough big brother role to an undeserving group. The pattern of wicked politics you outlined is what they've been playing since against Igbos right from independence! How and why they see Igbos as their adversary whom they must should be at loggerheads with is what baffles me.

They see us challenging the status quo in Nigeria and feel it's because Igbos are suffering while they have it better. If they are reasonable enough, they would know that Niger Delta people are the ones suffering the most under "one Nigeria". They've been losing a lot without gaining anything in return!

To me, if not for the threats of islamization/fulanization and the killings it is causing as well as how it is regarding our collective growth, I would have preferred that Nigeria remains together! At least, we will be free to have access to a market of 200 million people and leveraging our comparative advantage, most of the proceeds will still be sent to our region!

The same old man without sense called Clark was recently attacking IPOB for no good reason. They always find it fashionable in using anti Igbo rhetorics to measure up and show the North how loyal they are. Now same unreasonable Clark is calling for Southern solidarity but he forgot that Igbos and Yorubas were actually carried along through Dahomey and Anambra basins. These people will cry blood someday, their future generations will curse on their graves in anguish. Aside Akwa Ibom that is seeing some development, the rest are stagnated at best or even retrogressing! P.H and Warri today are not significantly better today than years ago! It used to be Lagos, P.H, and Warri in terms of economic development but today it is now Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Kaduna etc while only oil exploration/exploitation activities that makes P.H to be heard.

In the coming years, they will look back at how Nigeria used and abused them, and cry bitterly but it would be too late then.

gbengu:
Great sense!

Until anything called Southern Nigeria unite, no progress or leaving this confined space.

Until the intellectual youths from the whole Southern Nigeria call out the British government and the Queen of England against supporting the evils they created in west Africa term NIGERIA just because of their economic gain, looting and selfish interest, we might not have future.

Tell me any country where FULANIS and the likes of these Northerners in Nigeria are controlling government affairs and are making progress. Just name one.

Britain were unhappy prior to 1960 when the intellectual Southerners took the heat, war and clamour for self independence to them.

The records are their. I trust the SW and SE or the entire SOUTH if they get liberated today from the Neo-British slavery runned under Hausa/Fulani caliphate called NIGERIA to become the next UAE or flourishing country in Africa.

Until the South unites and fight their stooges, puppets or mannequin leaders in the South controlled by the VAMPIRES in the North, nothing. Nothing good will come out of one Nigeria.

Britain and corruption is what is still keeping NIGERIA as one.

proeast:
You're obviously not just a semi iliterate, but also lacking in natural wisdom.

You're against IPOB that is trying to unite SE and SS while extending an olive branch to SW all in an effort to confront the North, yet at the same time asking for southern unity. What sort of confusion and foolishness is that? Some of you minorities find it fashionable to condemn IPOB and antagonize Igbos while giving the North the impression that you're with them. Yet they keep abusing and exploiting you guys. At least, Igbos have movements that are actively working to break up Nigeria, where are the movements from your own region fighting for your own rights? Your militants are nothing but a band of selfish men seeking to enrich their own pockets and that's why individuals like Tompolo or Asari will go to sleep each time they're giving some Ghana-must-go bags of money or some ridiculous pipeline protection contract.

Even if you don't like Igbos or don't want to share an independent country with them (I also personally want an only Igbo nation), the wise thing to do is it not to align with them, get what you want and be on your own? Smart people all over the world are known to unite with those they're not even friends with if it will help them to conquer a common enemy.

Look around you today in Niger Delta, does that region appear like one of the world's major oil regions? The ND has pumping out crude oil in excess of 2 million barrels per day for decades now yet all around you is poverty, decay, pollution and hopelessness! You watch helplessly as the proceeds of what is gotten from your backyard is taken away to benefit others in the North and even foreigners in Niger rep while you're stuck in terrible conditions.

FYI, Niger Delta people are the biggest losers in this "one Nigeria" but you guys don't even know it but I will explain to you. The glass ceiling placed on Igbos are also placed on you guys! However, while Yorubas are gaining from Nigeria through Lagos, Igbos are also gaining from Nigeria by having our people in every nook and cranny providing goods and services, and the bulk of the proceeds remmitted to our region. It has also helped us to have the highest concentration of middle class to rich people in Nigeria. But can you tell me exactly what you Niger Deltans are gaining from Nigeria? 87% of your wealth is taken away while you're given a miserable 13%! Now, they've taken another 30% while given you 3%! As if that wasn't enough insult, they also smuggled Kano and Kaduna to be part of oil producing states even when they don't produce a drop of oil Noe juju be that

In your myopic reasoning, you all assumed that Igbos are the ones suffering most in Nigeria because we are the ones challenging the status quo. However, that's fallacy! Igbos are not happy because they know that things can and should be better than what we have in Nigeria.

You condemn Igbos and condemn IPOB for using the wrong strategy, yet you don't even have a single movement working to save your asses talk more of having a strategy.

I bet you, you guys have 600 years of sufferness to pass through if you continue like this.

See this so called elder statesman, the money they use to explore for oil in the south - where did that money come from? Is it not from the collective sovereign fund of Nigeria? At times, you wonder why people speak without thinking but just to play to the gallery.

obehi247:
if you call what ipob is doing unity, then your brain is leaking out stupidity.

our oil, our money for the entire Nigeria, we should be the once crying and complaining and not ipob.

go and achieve your biafra nation without SS and ND people. stop including us in your stupidity


i rather prefer the SS and ND people align with the SW than the SE

SamNaijaboy:
You're wrong.
Nigeria started in 1960 and oil was found in1956.
The money used was South money with Shell funding most of it

Ariani:
Which Igbo man from SE is crying over PIB?
Nnaa, we no send una.
Tell Clarke to stop talking about imaginary Southern Nigeria. No Southern Nigeria was cheated in the PIB deal as there is nothing like Southern Nigeria.
The Yorubas have Dahomey basin covered, Ndiigbo have Anambra basin covered. You are the ones with short end of the stick whining like babies looking for who to rope into your juvenile fight using sentiments.

It will not work bro. The PIB bill serves the interest of the Tripod. If you make too much noise, we will join you to shout, but only so that we can use you to bargain for bigger slice of the cake from the North. We will not join you to fight the North on this,as our interest is fully aligned with those of the North on this issue.

See! You are dealing with a new brand of Igbo with different mindset here. You should better tell old man Clarke to go home and enjoy his Ghana must go they delivered to him and the militants in peace, let him water it down with Ogogoro and stop polluting the political space with empty noise.

PIB as it is currently pinned, serves the interest of NIGERIA that's why it was approved by the majority of the NASS. No SW is going to align with you on this, they have always been good at playing interest based politics.

SamNaijaboy:
It is you that lacks basic understanding. Forgive yourself first
See this aboki trying to match brains with his superior.
Since 1918, the South's surplus has been used to augment the poorer North's earnings.
Since the North didn't have enough then, depending on the South's money to survive (and still does depend on the South till today), how could its money have been used for the exploration?
Or you think you are in the 80s where your Northerners kill any Southerners too smart for you to control?

obehi247:
i know most of our brothers in the southern Nigeria want the SS or ND to be part of their struggle for secession but it can not happen because we believe in a better system. We don't want the nation state of either Biafra or Oodua we want a United States Of Southern Nigeria.

I have read most comment, especially from the biafra people wanting SS to be part of the Biafra struggle but in reality, it would not work.

If the southern states are divided into biafra and Oodua the north can still easy conquer the two state, one at a time. We in the SS know this and we are very careful not to be at the losing side.

But if collectively we are all united, we have a better fighting and winning chance.

Most of the comment i do read is just people say things without thinking it through and strategizing.

Give the SS or ND people a better proposal and see if Nigeria would not end within a short period. Don't get me wrong, we can not do it along and we can not do it sectionally. We need the collective unity of southern Nigeria with strategic cooperation from the north especially the midbelt and Nigeria would be a done deal...

There are certain things i can not say here, but we need a covert system to share ideas and information

Buckeyemedia1:
The money used to explore & build the oil sector, was the money gotten from the South South, or Nigeria in General? So which property belongs to them?

TownJ:
Using Southern oil money for exploration in Sokoto, others fraudulent, says Edwin Clark-led group

The quests for oil in the Northern region and other parts of the country have received a significant boost with the signing of the Petroleum Industry Bill 2021 into law by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) on Monday.

However, the Pan Niger Delta Forum lambasted the President for assenting to thePIB without the amendment of some controversial sections, adding that the move was a way to siphon oil money from Southern Nigeria to the North.

By assenting to the bill which legislation wasstalled for about 20 years before it was recently passed by the 9th National Assembly, the President approved at least 30 per cent of the profit to be generated by the proposed Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited to go to the exploration of oil in ‘frontier basins’, according to Section 9 of the PIB.Section 9(4) of the PIB reads, “The frontier exploration fund shall be 10 per cent of rentson petroleum prospecting licences and 10 per cent on petroleum mining leases; and 30 per cent of NNPC Limited’s profit oil and profit gas as in product sharing, profit sharing and risk service contracts.

The fund shall be applied to all basins and undertakensimultaneously.”Section 9(5) adds, “NNPC Limited shall transfer the 30 per cent of profit oil and profit gas to the frontier exploration fund escrow account dedicated for the development of frontier acreages only.

”The PIB also makes provision for the establishment of a Nigerian Upstream Regulatory Commission which will be responsible for the technical and commercial regulation of upstream petroleum operations and also promote the exploration of frontier basins in NigeriaThe frontier basins include Chad Basin, Gongola Basin, Sokoto Basin, Dahomey Basin, Bida Basin, Benue Trough, Anambra Basin, amongst others.

At the moment, crude oil is obtained from eight states in the Niger Delta region which include: Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, Imo, Ondo and Rivers States.The 19 northern state governments had in 2016 intensified their search for oil and gas in the region with the appointment of a British firm to carry out the exploration activities which was sequel to Buhari’s directive to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation to increase the tempo of the crude oil find in the North-East.

With Monday’s presidential assent to the PIB, which would regulate all matters in the oil sector, the oil exploration move of the 19 northern governors had received a huge boost.But the group led by elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, toldThe PUNCHthat the President, by signing the PIB into law without the amendment of some clauses, showed that he had no feeling for the peopleof the Niger Delta who continue to suffer the environmental degradation which has been the consequence of oil exploration in the zone.

What else do the people of niger delta want again? The proposed biafra with what I learnt will be a federation where all ethnic groups will be in total control of their natural resources I don't know much about how the yorubas intend to run their ododuwa but biafra is fair enough so I dont understand where the fear of domination of all those niger delta minority tribes is coming from.

obehi247:
Firstly, according to ipob biafra is igbo land and Niger Delta people are not igbo people

Secondly, before you started your agitation for the Niger Delta people, were they informed about it and then, they gave you the go ahead to agitate on their behalf.

Thirdly, why would the name of the nation state be call Biafra and not Niger Delta republic knowing fully well that Niger Delta republic came to existence before biafra or better still, why not accept a new name for the said new country.

Forth point, if the said biafra would be a confederation and the ipob people want Niger Delta so much to be part of it. Why would the ipob people be scared to add Oodua in the confederation and accept the same confederation of United States Of Southern Nigeria that would be made up of Oodua, Niger Delta and Biafra

please i mean no disrespect, provide me with answer that are intellectually logical

Mrexcell:
The niger delta republic u are talking about that Isaac boro declared in the 60s was just a militancy the same way u accused ipob of not consulting the minorities in the niger delta is the same way boro declared the niger delta republic without even consulting other ethnic groups in the niger delta.

Before ojukwu declared biafra during the war he consulted all the leaders of the former eastern region, the next in command then was Philip Efiong from akwa ibom state while the name biafra was given by an ijaw man from bayelsa.

On ur last question the yorubas and the easterners have never been in the same region politically so it doesn't make any sense requesting them now to come together to form a country.

Don't ask me stupid questions.
Before Nigeria's independence, the oil was already found. So it belongs to the Eastern region. Your greedy selves did not contribute anything to it, so whatever your leaders are telling you is just hogwash.
