My name is OrevaOghene.I am an Urhobo with an Anang mother.I felt obliged to key in on the debate of South South and the Biafran cause.
I am currently an undergraduate of Economics at the university of uyo.Let me state that my argument is due to economic considerations and not political.

Let me begin by correcting the dichotomy between the South South and South East-they are merely political zones. There are Igbos in Ogwashukwu in Delta,Asaba has an obi....the Governor is even Igbo.That's Delta.
In Rivers state a place known as obIGBO,there is very little difference between an Etche an Aba persons.....Even the current Governor likens himself to Ojukwu.That's Rivers state
In Akwa Ibom where I school the Annang once answered oka for -my maternal grandfather explained that its because of the civil war that they stopped using such names..due to the advancing Nigerian troops..The average Ibibio is more money conscious and cunning. The tortoise is the folklore hero in both cultures.


So I wish to plead forthwith to stop using the term South South...... It doesn't exist. The term Niger Delta and Biafran is more attuned to our cause.The term South is another divide and conquer method by the born to rule.


My uncle ran from Borno last year September he still spends his days talking of how evil the Hausa people are....A story of his that made me shiver is that of an Ibibio woman Abasifreke Asuquo(her soul rest in peace).She mistakenly used a piece of paper to clean her baby's anus ...that paper turned out to be a Qur'an. The woman was butchered and the baby's anus was Pierced with a stick that came out of his mouth. Are they humans at all...to cap it all they moved with the Pierced baby around the neighborhood. Despite the pleading of her relatives and the local Ibibio community.

I don't want to live with such barbarism. Not in the same country at least.



The Igbo man is after success so am I ..and so are we.For over 40 years they have done nothing successful.
They say Jonathan is corrupt.. Come to Rivers state and see what the money is doing..... The oil is even ours.
This same Buhari was serving as PTF chairman when Kenule Beesom Sarowiwa was killed by Abacha.And still insists that Abacha never stole.



Well to conclude the average Niger Deltan has resigned his fate that nothing can change.. That he will continue in poverty while wealth is tapped from under his soil.
And whoever says Asari is a nobody in The Niger Delta is to be ignored... Every body in the South knows and loves that man.He is our hero...so if it's to be Biafra.... Let it be....




Let me state most importantly that I don't believe in human government or it's promises........ This post is merely to end to the SE/SS political Dichotomy...... Thanks and have a pleasant day

Omololu007:
i dont giv a fvck if ibos hav dis dia biafra or not guy,i dont giv a Bleep if d whole of d north central and south south is part of biafra,i dont even fink about it...i dont just lik d comment d guy made about we Niger deltans,let him speak for himsef,for me i will mak it in dis Nigeria as a Niger deltan

WombRaiders:
I don't know why Yorubas want to woo us.

We did not even vote one single broom wielding politician in the ND unlike the Ignis of IMO who fell for the APC scam.

I believe Yorubas have a common political ground with Ibos as can be seen in IMO state but in the Niger Delta there has never been anytime in history that we aligned with the Yorubas or Ibos.

PDP has been in power since 1999 in Niger Delta and that won't change anytime soon.

Candyrain:
Sometime I just wonder why he can't just stay off Biafra's thread. Maybe we just need to assure him that the oil in Ondo won't go with us when we go back to Biafra. I think that's his fear.

My day was good. Tiring and annoying though. How was yours swthrt?

Omololu007:
so are u sayin edo,akwa ibom and cross river wont b part of dis biafra ,d guy is not even speakin for all d tribes in delta,i dont fink an itsekiri man would wanna b part of d Niger delta

Omololu007:
guy u keep talkin lik an 1diot,shey u just dey form king kong because u see person wey dey bear rose or wot? Nairaland is owned by a Nigerian,if u wanna talk about biafra n nobody will disturb u,mayb u should create ur own forum..but for Nairaland,i will comment on any topic i feel lik

Rose2014:
Eiyaa who make u vex? Just give me their phone number
My day had some ups and downs but #Godwin#

Candyrain:
The term Niger Delta as we have it now is used to designate oil producing state. As I mentioned earlier the real Niger Delta states are Bayelsa, Delta and Rivers. Google is there to educate you about Niger Delta.

NB: All SS will most likely join Biafra but not all Niger Deltan will join.

Candyrain:
Obasanjo made you a Niger Deltan becos Ondo became one of the oil producing states. The Niger Deltans being referred to here are the Core Niger Deltans (Bayelsa, Rivers and Delta States).

modhream:
It is not.
Stop confusing NDDC states or states of the geopolitical contraption for Niger delta

I BEG YOU WITH GOD LEAVE AKWA IBOM OUT OF YOUR MAP

Candyrain:
No one vexed me dear. I had somethings I was supposed to do with my pc but I couldn't. It's misbehaving and freezing and I was told I would have to format it. I trust only one person who handles my pc and he said I'll have to wait till Saturday. So I have to wait.

Good morning sweetness.

Candyrain:
Am I surprised at this your name calling? Umm... NO. I would stick with Rose2014 anytime anyday because all she's said is nothing but truth and another thing is that she's a sweet lady. So if you are vexed about it I'll advise you grab a glass of chilled water.
I won't thread the same path of name calling with you. You already shown it to everyone that it's your trade mark "™".

Omolulu......you don't know what it means to be colonized.... The Niger Delta is nothing but a colony of Nigeria....

Don't stay in Lagos and dictate what's best for us....thanks and God bless you

franconian:
OP, I read your post with the hope of finding reasons why an Urhobo would be a proponent of Biafra. I'm not sure if you gave one.

First, you said you are Oreva, to the best of my knowledge, Oreva is not an Urhobo name. It's an Isoko name.


Oreva, your should know that Delta has many ethnic groups, of which the Anioma(Delta-Ibos) is just one of the many tribes. This post would have been more acceptable if it was from a Delta-Ibo. Speak fr urself st.upid bigot ! No body is forcing anybody to join,wen the time comes we shall all knw. Cowards! #vegatalks


The fact that Urhobo shares the same state with the Ibos does not make an Urhoboman an Iboman.

They call themselves the "indigenous people of Biafra". The IPOB never thought of including Urhobo in their struggle untill they realized they would need their "brothers" to win the struggle. They will only use and dump you.

Listen to me my brother, when it comes to political matters, an Ibo man refers to another iboman from Delta as a fake Iboman, how much an Urhoboman?

If you are truly an Urhoboman, I wouldn't doubt your abilities when it comes to accommodating strangers politically or otherwise, but you should know that the Ibos are very different.


Have you heard of Radio Biafra? Is it transmitted in a language you understand? Take a clue from these things, they are not on the same page with you.

You may not be happy with Nigeria, but joining the ibos to agitate for Biafra would b a great disservice to yourself and to your unborn kids.
