Go and read the history of Ikwerre people in PortHarcourt. They are from Benin and not ibo. the fact that they had a lot of interactions with Igbo which later influence their language does not make them Igbo. it s exactly like Yoruba claiming Itsekiri in delta state because their language is Yoruba!

South east should form their own country alone. is it by force to take south south states along? south south states will form their own nation like United Arab Emirates. we don't need south east in our confederation

^^^^ I have seen ur ilks many times yapping over what they know notin about.... Now ikwerre man is from Benin.. Clap for urself as one greatest liar of our time. Benin ko bendel ni

The truth is always straight forward. Anybody with an objection to this article hate Nigeria.

spanishkid:
your foolishness knows no bounds. Edo oil contributes 25% of Nigeria's oil. Continue exhibiting your foolishness here.

Well well well, if Edo state produces 25% of Nigeria's oil, please give us the percentage of oil produced by the 4 largest oil producing states I.e Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa

I am from Edo State. Many of my friends in delta (isoko, itsekiri, urhobo) share the same view with me.

Why are you having headache? you guys are so deluded!!! you think everything good is yours!! you think you can re-write history with propaganda? we both agree that Nigeria should divide. let south south form his own nation/nations why you form yours. what is paining you? you Igbo are so arrogant? you are the one changing history. Before colonialisation, most of south south today were all part of Benin Empire. read your history books. You guys with ur greed you want to steal all of them as yours. if there was no oil in south south will you want to add them to Biafra at all cost? why are you not adding benue and igala who are also your neighbours too by all means? thieves!!! you think everybody is a fool. don't worry, let the time come when Nigeria will divide, you will be shocked how much south south nationalities want to be alone.
Biafra was created in 1967 and had terminal stroke in 1970. most of these south south nationalities are older than Biafra.

^^^^ I'm an igbo man from Rivers state. U are the blind type so to speak. If there shud be biafra 2day, believe me, my people will join the biafran conglomerate.

Whether some groups like it or not, centralism will soon give way to fiscal federalism.
The major reason why USSR collapsed in late 1980s was not because of lack of good leadership. Heck USSR had some of the worlds's toughest leaders at that time. It was simple because the Communist centralisation of economic activities was totaly inefficient and unsustainable. That period saw many republics opting out of the Union without a single shot fired.
Nigeria's current economic structure is unsustainable and will soon go the way of Russia.

I agree.....intoto.......let each region manage its resources and.....we will all see where the flat.heads will end.....

By history the igbos never conquered any teritories, they merely traded with other tribes being the merchants they were and still are.

Stop creating problem for real Igbos. The oil belongs to all Nigerians with particular reference to offshore. The one on people's land should be based on royalty.

OfoIgbo:
A well written article. Just a point of correction. ...Yorubas will never sincerely back the sort of restructuring you wrote about. They, along with the north are the people responsible for this slavish state of affairs.

I suppose another point I will like to make here is this..... SS and SE don't need to depend on the supposed goodwill of the other regions of Nigeria to implement a 100% resource control policy in these matters.
Both zones only have to give Nigeria two options which are RESTRUCTURE or DIVIDE.

If the restructuring option is rejected or not given any positive attention, then both zones just have to put plans in action to leave Nigeria. Both zones can support the wonderful work being done by The Lower Niger Congress and even the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra. Logistics support, moral support e.t.c

You are a genius...

atbu1983:
I am south south. I don't completely agree agree with you for singling out the North alone. As far as I am concern IGBO, YORUBA and HAUSA are all benefitting from the current system. Afterall an IGBO man Gen Agunyi Ironsi created the Unitary System for Nigeria in 1966 that we are complaining against today. When Isaac Adaka Boro wanted to form Ijaw Nation Republic in 1966 it was Igbo Head of State Gen Agunyi Ironsi that fought him with a 12days war. Tell me what is Igbo contribution to Nigeria foreign exchange? Atleast the North contribute Agriculture no matter how small. They contribute more than the Igbo.

The Igbo claim to be one of us because some south south states were part of the old Eastern region. First of all, eastern region was created by Nigeria for Nigeria convenience. It was not a decision of the nationalities that made up the old eastern region. Secondly before most people forget, today edo and delta state were never at anytime part of eastern region. edo and delta were first Western region later became Midwestern region, then change to Bendel state before becoming edo and delta state today. some tribes speak Yoruba in edo and delta state. why is Yoruba not claiming edo and delta state the way Igbo is claiming rivers and delta states because some people speak ibo in those states?



Igbo may have succeeded in brainwashing some south south people that they are one of us, it is big lie. They may have succeeded in brainwashing some of us that only hausa and Yoruba is the problem of south south, it is a big lie. They are the same as far as I am concern.

The problem with Igbo is greed. Qatar is smaller than Bayelsa in Population and half d size of Bayelsa state by landmass. Bayelsa is four times the size of Sigapore. if Qatar and Sigapore can be a country, why cant we have an Ijaw nation as a country? Do u think Ijaw people dont want to be like qatar and enjoy thier oil alone like Qatar does? Note: Bayelsa State is d smallest state in the south south by population and second to the last by landmass!!


Below is the size of south south states and south east states. South South is almost 3times the size of south East.
Yet the population of South east is almost 80% of south south population base on 2006 census. More than 90% of the resources (oil, gas, limestones,etc) are in the south south. The whole of South East is landlock with no direct access to the sea or atlantic ocean. but almost all the south south states have direct assess to the sea and atlantic ocean.

Tell me why South South Nations will want to form a country with south east if they have a choice ? all south east will bring to the table is population and domination? The total oil production from south east is not up to 10% of south south oil production!

If you are the leader of south south nations will you advice them to form a country with south east if they have the option of forming their own country alone? give a sincere answer?

As far as I am concern, as unbranwashed south south , there is no difference between the Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. To me, these are three major tribe struggling and fighting for Supiriority. Whenever any of the three is loosing, he shout Marginalization.

During Jonathan govt, the Igbo was gaining and were in control and was happy. The Yoruba were losing and were shouting Marginalization. The hausa/fulani were not happy because they were not fully in control. For the North we can slightly understand because in the 16years of democracy (May 1999 to May 2015) the south ruled 13.3years while the North had just 2.7years

The Igbo don't love south south more than the hausa or Yoruba love us. All the three tribe are all struggling for the control of south south oil. None of the three is better than the other as far as we south south are concern.

The only place south south nationalities agree with Igbo is Nigeria should divide.

But how it will divide, what we want and what they want is as different as d distance of the earth to d moon.

South south want thier own freedom. we will support Biafra as Igbo only nation while they should support us to form our own nation or nations. But trying to add us as an appendage to Biafra will never happen.

If south south join Biafra, our individual identities will be wiped out in less than 50years. They will convert every south south nationality to Igbo. And they will so much take charge of the oil and resources with reckless abandon without any regard to d minorities.

LET EVERYONE FORMS HIS OWN NATION. SOUTH SOUTH NATIONS DONT WANT IGBO, YORUBA OR HAUSA IN THIER NATION. WE DONT WANT ANY DOMINANT TRIBE TO CONTROL US IF OR WHEN NIGERIA DIVIDE

In summary, my point is if Nigeria will divide peacefully by United Nations referendum, south south will not join Biafra. South South will form its own nation/nations. The only way south south and south east will form a single nation is if Nigeria divide by War because population will be important in size of Army.

My Igbo neighbour may not like this submission, but it is the bitter truth

The igbos contribute much more dan d north. Crude oil is being mined n sold by nigeria from anambra, Abia and imo states.

we have Ikwerre in Rivers state while we have Nkwerre in Imo state.
Ikwerre means ''if u believe'' in Igbo language while Nkwerre means ''i believe'' in igbo language.Amala eaters should get that in their ewedu and gbegiri head
