Don't you think that the failure to give the Eastern Region minorities Referendum at the same time as the midwest was a mistreatment of them especially as it was they who started the Campaign for referendum for their own separate Region first?

Interesting fact.

Ofunaofu:
In response to testimony of pro-Midwest witnesses, a shadowy organization called the “Anti-Midwest State Movement” was put forward by the Action Group. It asserted that Edos had more to fear from Igbo than Yoruba domination, and that creation of a Midwest region would expose Edos to Igbo domination.

The Igbos have really really been tormenting the Yorubas

That group was right though, Edo is now in SS and Igbos are still dragging SS
Edo are now shouting " we are not Biafrans ".
Correct me if I'm wrong.

@ OP is that the reason why Igbo want to kolobi SS land?

For clarity post the pics of your dead Biafra and let's see who is oppressing who.

You can't rewrite history as no SSner will want to have anything to do with the SE, no amount of toasting will make that happen.

When the presidency is rotated back to the South that's when all these paparazzi will fall on your face.

So far the SS have been playing their political game intelligently and would likely get the presidency when it comes back to the South, what then becomes of all these egotistical chest beating?

Igbos drag SS for what purpose

demmie1:
Ibos were the ones being picked as slaves for exports, it was the Benin, Calabar and ijaw doing the pickings. Ask anybody

They don't know Jack, omo Yoruba strong jor.
Dahomey kingdom fell and became vassal state to Oyo, the Nupe and the Borgu kingdoms too.
If dem no pay tribute, na die.
When Oyo empire fell, the Dahomey tried to subjugate Egba people, an ordinary hunter Lisabi rose, mobilize Egba and disgraced the Dahomey kingdom.
Yorubas were already using horses and guns to prosecute wars, before colonization.
I love history, it should be restored back to our schools, if you don't know where you're coming from, you can't know where you're going.

Ask those saying there's no region called SS.

Only you will accuse Igbos of being an aggressor, marginalizing and dealing with minorities, only you will turn around again and start saying that Igbos are victims of minorities..

Look at what hate has done to your brain and psyche..smh

You are misinterpret the whole thing

7lives:

Of course they are right

SS is merely a nomenclature imposed on the the people of that region just to cause division and also for the purpose of milking the resources of the region.

The SS is the most culturally diverse region in Nigeria. What is the cultural relationship between an Ijaw man in Bayelsa and an ugep man in cross river state

Let me ask you, why is there no North North region.

Ogbeni stop being emotional..

There are huge difference in midwest seeking independence from western region and adaka boro seeking to secede from Nigeria,eastern region also allowed southern cameron to decide whether to join cameron or stay in Nigeria..

You nor even sabi quote well. Pained akpu muncher. Yorubas never have any problem giving freedom to people that are never part of us. The wqhole world knows the "we SS/SE group. And stop lying, Adaka Baro only wanted out of yeastern region and never from azukawere one nijeriya. Stop lying.

Yes the Igbos have no history.
But neither do the Yorubas.
The Igbos accept that they have no history whereas the yorubas invent stories of batman dropping from the sky with golden Mr T chains: I think you call it super Oduduwa.

This Benin warrior is still here licking his wounds with his foolish lies…

"One irritant during this election was the complaint that many students from the Benin and Delta provinces at the University College Ibadan were so mistrusted by Action group operatives on campus that their names were surreptitiously removed from voters’ registration lists in Ibadan".
.......So no be today this rònú nonsense begin!😊😊😊

You propaganda showed your ignorance.

The University College, Ibadan was a Long distant college of the University of London during during the Action Group Administration and was NEVER under the control of Western Regional Government.

The matriculation, administration, staffing and even the DEGREES AWARDED were all done by the University of London.

Most of the Lecturers and the Principal (the VC was at the Headquarters in London) were White men.

Everybody was selling slaves, everybody was being sold as slaves except the Edo people were very rarely sold as slaves because Benin empire was very powerful and feared.
The difference between Igbo and yoruba is that the Yoruba are (in many cases) slaves who were deported to our shores, I'm not talking about people who were in the region and sold as slaves, I'm talking about people who were slaves and deported to our shores or to Sierra Leone and made their way to our region.

Cooly100:
Why can't you Yoruba Nation terror soldiers, navy and police go with your 5 dusty states and leave the old mid-west alone...

Very soon you will start creating law to force them to leave once they start doing better than you lazy fellows.

Yorùbás barely give a Bleep about the mid west

I want the Ijaws with their large population to annex Benin! Since they don't know the benefits of strength in numbers; let's see who will come for their support when that village called Benin is attacked.

Go and take your medication. You've lost your mind again.
We do not care about your numbers, we do not care about your people. We are not with you, wish us all the evil you can, it won't change a thing. Besides you don't even know us. All you know are some stupid fairytales which talk about us.
Below is a Precolonial map of Benin.
We are not what you think we are. But again, you do not know us. Anybody who wants to annex us should give it a try and see how it pens out for his people. In this case it is a Yoruba who wants an entirely other ethnic group to attack us. Attack by proxy, like the cowards you guys are. It is good you guys just keep making assumptions about us, when the war comes, you and your proxy will be defeated due to surprise effect among other things.

"We are many"-tribe struck again. To these guys it is all about how many they are. Meanwhile tiny Eritrea gave a bloody nose to Ethiopia, tiny Japan humiliated China, tint Rome took over all of Europe except Russia. Tint Rwanda humiliates Congo on a regular basis. Tiny Cameroon took bakassi from Nigeria...yeah, it is all about how many you are 🤣 tiny Afghanistan dealt with: the UK, Russia, and the USA.
But this is just typical of the yoruba who love to call themselves "sophisticated", they are overemotional and evil minded.

it was the Edos themselves who said that in the Willink Report of 1958

But it still didn't stop Ojukwu from imposing Major Okonkwo on the Midwest during the Civil War

Not only fulanis that don't want history lessons in schools yorubas has a hand in it too
In short it was yorubas ideas sold to fulanis

Stoplying:
The yoruba see history as a rival to yoruba fairytales, so they axed history.
Also Yoruba don't like the constant reminder that most of them descend from slaves.

This is rich coming from an Ibo man
History should be brought back to that we can all be reminded that you lots are cannibalistic bush dwellers.

Sometimes you need to just keep quiet because you often don't make sense.
What we know is that the Edos voted out of being in the same region with you, all the middle westerners voted to be out. You see, that is representative of what the people want. Not some shadowy report made by one irrelevant and paid by awolowo person.

Kapeter:
Lat time i check, the yeeeeeeebos have no history pre colonial era. Even their warrant chiefs called igwe and the likes were chosen by their colonialist so i wonder who really doesn't want anything to remind them of their primitive lifestyle though.

They actually have but it's really nothing to write home about. Except that they lived in filth and cannibalize each other.

Yoruba have no territorial ambitions. Other groups voluntarily on their own in and outside Africa identify as/with Yoruba.

Most of the accomplishments in the Midwest came as part of the Western Region from the judicious management of Cocoa Income.

Indeed, every African living in the Western Region including those from Diaspora relocated to Western Region.

Which region or ethnic group, including the Ijaw has benefited from Oil income?

Oh, I just forgot O was talking with @christistruth, the most deluded Yoruba on nairaland.

The Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse, has predicted that Ogun would soon join the oil producing states as oil and other petrol-carbon products would be discovered in the state.

The monarch made the prediction when he paid a courtesy call on the governor of the state, Dapo Abiodun at the Presidential Lodge in Abeokuta.

"The Olu said the State has all it takes to be an oil producing state just like the states in the Niger Delta.


“When our forefathers left the waterside to where we are now, they scooped the water and when they got to Warri, they dropped the water there. When they came back to the waterside, they also scooped water from Warri and dropped it in waterside and since we have oil in Warri, I am sure oil is also here. I want to predict that very soon, oil will be discovered in this state and you will also join us in that club. When this happens, I will be here to celebrate with you”, the monarch stated

He explained that his visit was to identify with the people of Yorubaland, as Warri people regard themselves as part of the Yoruba stock"

You are taking this bush dwellers Serious. It was Ajayi Crowther (a Yoruba man) that gave them their first book and even helped them create a dictionary.

And Bini Oba originated from Ife

Ewedu is a rich Mediterranean food (Mediterranean foods are the best in the world). Unfortunately, your ancestors were too dumb to discover the ewedu. They will rather feast on each other
