Which bond? Like the Biafrian soldiers massacre of people of the Midwest region which now includes part of South South during the Biafrian war.

I am sure GEJ is still regretting for associating himself with the SE. They were one of the cause of his losing the election.

Azikiwe fought against secession clause proposed by Awolowo twice. He was hoping to become the Nigerian Prime minister. He quickly formed an alliance with the North thinking the northerners were mumu that he could ride over till they gave him a ceremonial president position grin
Oh!

So it’s no longer Murtala Muhammed that led Nigerian soldiers to murder people in Mid Western Nigeria, it is now Biafran Soldiers?

Ose, Agba Nairaland historian.

Meanwhile, Awolowo died with a pain and sore in his heart because even ceremonial presidency he never saw.

Coward....

So when the kwunu master filled his government with the northerners...what did you utterly slavish strong man do?

Weak and cowards everywhere in SW.
Ojukuu is the coward that fled to Abidjan dressed like a woman while his escape plane tires were smashing the heads of Biafrian kids that mistook his get away plane for a red cross plane. This was after The black scorpion and Obasanjo (both Yoruba men) closed in on him after he invaded the Midwest and SW (via ore in Ondo).

Since the 1952 elections in the colonial Nigeria till this year’s general elections, about 70 years later, the Southeast and Southsouth have, to a substantial extent, always voted in same direction.

The two regions have been like a woman’s breast where if you are able to suck one, you will get the other one for free. That is that if you can get the Southsouth to support your presidential ambition as a presidential candidate then you are getting the southeast as jara, and vice versa.

This might be because these two regions were historically one region before the balkanization that happened in 1967 at the wake of the Civil War which was intended to weaken the homogeneity of the Old Eastern Region.

But asides the fact that these regions shared same political and regional entity in the past, they are almost, substantially, same people as can be observed from their homogeneous Christianity, similarities in culture, customs, etc. The only substantially separation between these people is dialects.

Now, this near homogeneity is why they tend to share same worldview and are always attracted to same thing, ideas and ideals. Hence the consistency in voting in same direction in successive elections.

This union between SE/SS is why northern politicians have always coveted an alliance between the north and SE/SS. This was the pattern since 1960 when Northern and Eastern alliance birthed the first indigenous government when Tafawa Balewa became Prime Minister and Azikiwe became President. This alliance was sustained in the 1979 and 1983 elections, and between 1999 till 2015.

We can say that that pattern was broken by Buhari in 2015 because he was overly popular in the north. But even Buhari himself courted the North/Eastern alliance in 2 election cycles but failed to get because the Easterners failed to gravitate to him because of the reason we just finished seeing for 8 years.

Now, after the last election where the incumbent president was able to be declared ‘winner’ because Atiku and Obi being on the ballot divided the Northern/Eastern alliance votes, I’ve noticed that Tinubu has commissioned his foot soldiers to start both online and offline propaganda to try to break the bond between the two brothers of Southeast and Southsouth.

That’s why Asari Dokubo started saying gibberish online about how he was selling Igbos and all. It’s obvious the intention was to get the Igbos to react, and from there spark an ethnic friction between the Ijaw and Igbo and from there they will use propaganda to lump other ethnic minorities in Southsouth into it of how Igbos are trying to dominate them and other lies they’ve told since the 1960s.

But the Igbos are always one million miles ahead of these agents of darkness. That’s why till today not even an Igbo baby has responded to Asari Dokubo. You would wonder if all Igbos are in one WhatsApp group where we were instructed not to respond to Asari but we are not. We are just so alike that we reason and react same way to things. We saw through Asari from a million miles and ignored him. Now he has foolishly crawled back to whence he came.

But not only Asari, even here on Nairaland, I’ve seen multiple threads trying to tell Southsouth people why they should stop associating with the Southeast. Some have even created threads to tell Ebonyi people that they are not Igbos just so they would stop adding to the voting powerhouse that is SE/SS.

Now, apart from Asari and online minions, a closer look at the actions Wike, Ibori, Akpabio and co, will tell you that they are trying to re-engineer the Southsouth away from the Southeast and redirect them towards the Southwest so they can birth a SS/SW alliance that would now be going into alliance with the north to win elections. That’s the reason they fought so had to give Akpabio the Senate Presidency just to make it seem that Tinubu cares about the Southsouth.

Hence my question, why is Tinubu and his men trying to separate two brothers?

Do you not know we can see through you from a million miles away?

Do you think your propaganda and shenanigans will separate us?

Do you think this is 1960s when you sold lies and propaganda to cause divisions and succeeded with it?

Who is threatened by the SE/SS unbreakable alliance?
The person that wrote this gibberish must be on colos.
Who's asari to speak for SS?
Asari doesn't speak for anybody. he speaks for his stomach and the unstable ones singing his praises.

They will later Claim that they love the SS

Tinubu was left with no option but to go about literally begging on his knees PDP and APC Senators many of them Northerners he was close to to change their minds at the very last minute on the night before the vote and still then it was close

If Tinubu had mistakenly slept that night Yari would have been the Senate President by now

I don’t even want to remind you that there’s a river called Azumini River in Abia State that empties into the Atlantic Ocean and the Southeast can build a seaport there.

It’s a pity the kind of lies you have been fed with. Quite pathetic!

Those countries you mentioned may be landlocked but they are not enveloped by a single country. Even Niger is not enveloped by a single country.

And yes, Switzerland and Austria still face those challenges but their strong European unions and free trade zones have helped a lot. These countries are developed and have the infrastructure.

You want to compare africa to them? Africa that’s backward and plagued with constant war.

And the truth is that, if they actually give you that southeast to stand alone, your suffering and slavery just started. The effect would be worse than Biafra war.

It’s obvious the intention was to get the Igbos to react, and from there spark an ethnic friction between the Ijaw and Igbo and from there they will use propaganda to lump other ethnic minorities in Southsouth into it of how Igbos are trying to dominate them and other lies they’ve told since the 1960s.

But the Igbos are always one million miles ahead of these agents of darkness. That’s why till today not even an Igbo baby has responded to Asari Dokubo. You would wonder if all Igbos are in one WhatsApp group where we were instructed not to respond to Asari but we are not. We are just so alike that we reason and react same way to things. We saw through Asari from a million miles and ignored him. Now he has foolishly crawled back to whence he came.

But not only Asari, even here on Nairaland, I’ve seen multiple threads trying to tell Southsouth people why they should stop associating with the Southeast. Some have even created threads to tell Ebonyi people that they are not Igbos just so they would stop adding to the voting powerhouse that is SE/SS.

Now, apart from Asari and online minions, a closer look at the actions Wike, Ibori, Akpabio and co, will tell you that they are trying to re-engineer the Southsouth away from the Southeast and redirect them towards the Southwest so they can birth a SS/SW alliance that would now be going into alliance with the north to win elections. That’s the reason they fought so had to give Akpabio the Senate Presidency just to make it seem that Tinubu cares about the Southsouth.

Hence my question, why is Tinubu and his men trying to separate two brothers?

Do you not know we can see through you from a million miles away?

Do you think your propaganda and shenanigans will separate us?

Do you think this is 1960s when you sold lies and propaganda to cause divisions and succeeded with it?

Who is threatened by the SE/SS unbreakable alliance?
