Hello Seun/Mods,

I have been lurking here for some years now but decided to create an account so as to bring to your attention a disturbing trend I have noticed coming mostly from people of the SE who post here.

It concerns their consistent use of the ambiguous "SS/SE" which they subtly are trying to morph into one.

We all know the history of the disastrous old Eastern region and how minorities from the lower Niger were subject to severe marginalization by the majority Igbo.

We also know how all efforts by the so-called minorities to leave the old eastern region was systematically and ruthlessly shutdown by the Igbo majority in Enugu.

We are also not ignorant of what was the prime motive behind the declaration of Biafra after the Gowon military dictatorship created states which saw to the minorities in the old eastern region being carved out.

We also know how Biafra died a natural death after the annexed minority regions were liberated from the Igbo tyranny known as Biafra.

We are also aware of Igbo attempts to repeat this folly in the form of a revamped Biafran project under the Afro Zionists group IPOB.

Now we are seeing attempts by the Igbos to corral the peoples of the SS under a political and social umbrella by consistently and unrelentlessly deploying the ambiguous SS/SE nomenclature in all their posts regarding this coming elections.

To continue allowing this abhorrent and subversive nomenclature to litter this section is tantamount to bowing to both Igbo expansionist and annexation claims of the SS as well as an insult to the independence of the peoples of the SS, thus a support for Biafra restoration and seccessionism.

The SS is a region of diverse people with distinct cultural, political and tribal identities separate from the larger Igbo polity. Yes, we have Igboid peoples but they have always preferred to not have anything to do with the larger Igbo populace .

I suggest that henceforth, all posts that insists on using the ambiguous and paradoxical wordings of SS/SE be auto censored to " SS and SE" or better yet, the post flagged as spam, deleted and the poster banned.

Thank you.

You igbos have refused to accept the end of eastern region .

You know SW, NC, NE, NW and your SE revuib but when it cones to SS you will be asking stupid questions .

FYI, appointments into govt and civil service as well as the security apparatuses must reflect national character as seen in the relevant sections concerning federal character .

Nwaetche:
Some part of South South like Delta and Edo had actually tested Yoruba rule during the first republic.

It is still in history that Mid-west remain the only region created by people voting willingly to leave Western nigeria. The then Oba of Benin was at the forefront of the agitation due to the subjugation from Western Nigeria.

When they eventually got independence, an Igbo man Dennis Chukude Osadebay, a former NCNC leader in Aba in the current Abia state and a native of Asaba became the first premier of Midwest.

So in essence, NCNC headed by Azikiwe was in charge of governement for both the Eastern state( comprising of south south state of Cross river, AKS, RVS and Balyelsa) and Midwest state( comprising of Delta and Edo) before the military takeover and eventual civil war.

People voted willingly to have one party headed by an Igbo man heading the two regions after the mid-west threw away Western government rule.

Your discredited divide and rule only started shortly before, during and after the civil war.

SilverOrLead quit being a big4nothing johnbull..do something with your life..pity your mother and do something with your life,old man:
Here are a few Igbo lame tactics that exposes their snake bellies while claiming to care and love the people of the SS.

1. They will tell you SS is not s tribe and so isn't deserving of a region of their own.

2. They will tell you an Igbo man single handedly created the same SS as a civilian advice to a military dictatorship headed by northern military officers. How is that possible ?

3. They will tell you crap about how they are our friends and allies when this is never the case as they are always in alignment with northern hawks to truncate/block or frustrate any attempt by the region for more resource control. If in doubt see how they did a walk out on Obasanjo's proposed 25% derivative to oil producing states and how one Wabara shamelessly stated more allocation to oil producing states won't benefit the SE region. They stood with the north during the offshore onshore dichotomy only until legal intervention by the supreme court saw to SS states benefiting from offshore oil revenue. States like Akwa Ibom won't have seen the unprecedented level of development we are witnessing owing that most of the oil and gas revenue generated from that state come from offshore platforms. Same situation played out again with Igbo legislators supporting the north to make rubbish of the PIB legislation.

4. Their candidate , Peter Obi has stated clearly that he isn't against the system in place .He even further stated that nothing is wrong with our flawed centrist system but only leadership vacuum. Is this someone that will then see to more state autonomy or even attempt to reform a broken and parasitic system ?

Pathetic

e pain JOHNBULL well


Btw, viewing this thread, another johnbull,dsalvo

MadamExcellency:


For purposes of clarity, define SS and SE as it relates to the people inhabiting the geographical location and how it applies to your protest.

Who championed the creation of South-south? What ethnicities are listed in SS and SE?

gidgiddy:


Can you tell us your interest in the SS and SE when you are not from these two zones? Or are you just an online mischief maker?

All those in support say YE.


The YEs have it!

The relief sought by the enlightened OP is hereby granted, pending a stamped and sealed order from Seun.

DMerciful:
For you info, I'm Igbo from Delta State so I'm not denying my Igboness neither am I denying my origin. You can look at my previous post to know.

Having said that, the Igbo nationality is about the only Nationality is unsatisfied with the status quo and thats why i associate with Igbos from the East. How can any nationality be ok with the worsening standard of living in Nigeria? When you say South south, there's nothing like south south as an homogeneous entity.

Where in the South are you from? This current alignment of SS/SE and SW and NC is to enthrone Obi because the status quo can no longer be allowed to continue

baretalk:

Before states, we had regions, 4 regions, North, East, Mid western, Western regions, South South emanated from Mid Western, old Bendel, you people are dumb, try and learn history before you come out to embarrass your self and tribe. There is no similarity between South South and South east. South South remains the richest region, but you can never see a South South man bragging on nothing like Igbo fools. The character, discipline, culture, morals and values are different. We have different ancestry and progenitors. You people are scum, always like to associate and rub shoulders with the tribe of kings. We in South South are kings not scums. We have nothing in common with igbos, God forbid.

DMerciful:
But I'm from the so-called South South, so what are you on about?

baretalk:

You are a fool, ask your father to tell you about your history, South South emanated from Benin Empire, who controls the south of the Niger, way before igbos came out of their caves, stop following people you are better than. It's not so called, south south exist dummy, I just told you how South South emanated idiot.

DMerciful:
Are the Igbos responsible for your lack of home training?

baretalk:

I hate dumb fools, if you don't know, shut up. Kanu, Ohaneze and all lack home training, igbos take pride in showing no respect, a treat people in their own coin. Pigs.

DMerciful:
You must be one of those effurun jaguda

baretalk:

You must be one of the ipob cannibal pigs, south South people are not pigs, we don't eat humans.

SilverOrLead:


And you can only speak also for yourself.

A Delta man who knows his history will not speak such utter rubbish .

baretalk:
Fact, the people of SE and South South, are very different, in culture, discipline, mannerisms, value and even from our progenitors. Fools who don't know history lump both together.

AkpaMgbor:

Lol see them. This one said their culture is different. Ikwuanọ people have been intermarrying the ibibios for over a century, even my cousin is married to an ibibio woman. Peter Obi is married to one. Our food is almost identical. Opobo people speak Igbo flawlessly. I know you don't even know the places /people I mentioned and in which states they are found. I know you can't even tell which name is Igbo and which name isn't. Clownish revisionist.

DMerciful:
You're talking like a child. You play too much

SilverOrLead:


OK .

My grand fathers who rejected Biafra and fought alongside federal troops to chase you out of our land are also BAT urchins.

Seun, here is another valid reason why SS/SE should elicit a ban

baretalk:

South South goes far beyond Delta state, and in Delta the Igboid people's and tribes are less than 5%. Don't ever lump us together, igbos are scums.

SilverOrLead:


Will you prefer we discuss only about Fulani killings ?
