Bro, it's sad. It's depressing. Every nation sets up a Constitution that guarantees the development and growth of ALL its inhabitants. Here, the reverse is the case. Our Constitution is a monumental albatross to our growth.

There's no greater declaration of war than deliberately creating a system that clearly undermines the growth and welfare of a people. That's a war!

The Ijaws are unique set of people. When we finally get the appropriate amount of information on this internal colonialism, we will seek with a vigour that will appear baffling to the Biafrans. Fraud and falsehood will meet their Waterloo soon. Very soon.

carnegiefan:
I used to think that the flaws in that constitution were just mistakes, until I started reading historical documents, I then realized that they are not flaws but FRAUDS.
Once you get to that stage, you become implacable.

Whoever says slavery has been abolished should have a rethink. Slavery is still real, alive and kicking. As energy cannot be destroyed but can be transformed from one form to the other, so is slavery. It the past it used to be in the form of transatlantic slavery trade, later it transformed into colonialism, later to neo-colonialism, and then to internal colonialism. Of all these forms, the last form seems the worst to me. In the internal, you're hardly aware of it because of its subtlety and legalism.

God knows I don't have the mentality of the average South South person. I'm yet to see a people so engrossed in today's crumbs that they become totally dumb and numb to the challenges and joys of tomorrow. I'm yet to see a people so happy in backwardness and poverty. They will never read history. Even when they do, its just to fulfill some academic purpose. They will never learn. They will never see the bigger picture. They are almost always at the mercies of their parasites. SMH! Mental slavery is terrible. Any man who lives without tomorrow in mind is dead, buried and sealed , while yet he lives.

For those vomiting thrash, Slavery of the mind is very bad. In 1967 the Hausa Fulanis told some disgrutled Ikwerres, Kalabaris, Efiks, Anangs, Ibibios, izon, and Okirikans that the Igbos were interested in their oil. They foolishly accepted and joined the enemy in bed. After the war the truth of those really interested in oil emerged.
The Hausa Fulanis and Yorubas killed Adaka Bolo before he could demand for his region.
They quickly shared the oil well and destroyed the land. Unfortunately the indigenes were helpless because they fought against their brothers.
The Ogonis were raped by Col. Oguntimo led forces. Saro Wiwa was killed by the Hausas. Yet the young men remained ignorant and hopless. How many of those people were killed by Igbos.


The SS are the most hopless set of people in the whole world. An adage says that when people unirate together it will foam.
It is also good to chase away the fox and then ask the mother hen what she was looking for in the bush. Anytime the SE and SS attempt to come together, the fifth columnist will appear.

Is there any where indigenously called the NIGER DELTA? What is the name of the people living in the area called Niger delta? Niger delta is an area not a people. You are either Ijaw, Igbo, Urohbo, Okirika, Kalabari, Itshekiri, Anioma, Ikwerre, Etche etc. All these area were originally called BIAFRA and this is contained in the document singned by the British during trade before colonialism.

We are very unwise. Anambra state pays more wages to civil servants than Delta State, Rivers State, Bayelsa State, Akwa ibom state. And you are talking of oil. Which oil? Rubbish. People are building cars, manufacturing and making billion. See you see America, see France, see Britain.

Your land is laid waste and you are talking our oil. Wake up.

Ibibio, Annang and Ikwerre never bought the crap the Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri and the rest of northern sold before and during the civil war. Even most Ogoni, Okirika and Kalabari peeps equally did not take the bait. However, it could be difference case since after the civil war.

OrlandoOwoh:
Liar! Those ethnic groups, the minority in the defunct Eastern Region supported Yakubu Gowon before, during and after the Civil War. Ibibio, Anang and Efik got a new state, South Eastern State. Ikwerre, Ogoni, Kalabari and Okrika got Rivers State. The leaders of these minority groups who fought for state creation right from the time of the Willink Commission, were hunted and detained by Ojukwu during the war. Elechi Amadi and Nwanodi, both Ikwerre, were some of them. After the liberation of Port Harcourt, the highlife legend, Rex Lawson, a Kalabari man changed the name of his band to Rivers Men Band, to show his support for the 12 states structure of the federation. He went ahead to record his hit song, "Gowon Special."

Ignorance is a choice. But it's no longer bliss. It's poverty. It's a disease. It's slavery. It's backwardness.

It's really sad. We won't follow in the myopic steps of our forebears. We have more information than they.

How did we get here? A billion dollar question!

atbu1983:
That is where you Igbo are getting it wrong. Nigeria cannot split into two. Nigeria can only split into minimum of five countries. Your five south east state will form Biafra. The six south south states will form a confederation or atleast three single countries.

The question in the referedum will not be will you join Biafra or Nigeria. That wont be the question.
The question will be do you want independence or Not with Nigeria grouped into minimum of five nations.

Love is truth. Love is honesty. Anyone who's designed a system in the disfavour of my people and unborn generations is OUR enemy.

I'm a realist. I don't believe in sacrificing truth to appear patriotic, for truth is the highers show of patriotism.

My anger is directed to MY own people, who have consoled themselves with peanuts and crumbs while their fortunes and future are being systematically eroded away.

Our case seems the worst!

The North has ensured the prosperity of its own by creating a lopsided unitary system using the barrels of the gun.

The SW, owing to the vision and foresight of Late Awolowo, had so embraced education and knowledge. They have ALL it takes to be prosperous and developed.

The SE .....What a people! Where do I start from? Industrious. Enterprising. Resilient. Prosperous. They hardly need OUR OYEL!

My region,SS...SMH! Content with crumbs for the day. SMH! I weep as they few rich folks amongst us pride ourselves in driving expensive cars....fake lives! Unconcerned about their tomorrow. ....SMH!

patrick89:
You guys are going far!!!! I wanted to create a topic to ask something similar to this topic but from a different dimension... the question is this...

Among all the regions in nigeria why is it that the price of common commodities are far expensive in rivers,akwaibom and bayelsa more than anywhere? if you can answer this question then you will understand a lot more......

I worked with a firm in lagos during my IT, they produced three different qualities of the same product.. They are produced as follows
1.. for lagos market... lagos market is hybrid, anything goes, we sold the highest, middle and low qualities in lagos, and we try to reduce the price to penetrate the market.

2. For Northern market... They are mostly quality and unique oriented... they don't like the low qualities but it has to be cheap too.. so we give them the middle unless, their is a special requests for that highest quality.

3 for southwest market, ie ibadan,abk,etc.. they only buy the low quality.. they are more interested in the price....


However for the south south!! ooh my goodness every marketer wants to go to ph, bayelsa sapele etc.. you know why? they don't care!!!! Something that's sold 3500k can be sold 7500 I swear to God! so everyone sees the place as a gold mine!!
now this is how bad it has gotten, not only that these things are very expensive, they do not have the companies that can produce these things within!

Now you noticed I skipped southeast, yes I did, it wasn't accidental. The first and last we tried sending to Imo on order failed , because, the company lost huge amount of money, they couldn't sell, due to the price for the one manufactured in the state was very close, ... so we had to divert the goods to yenegoa... I remember my MD saying he will never go to SE again..

Do you know the implications all these things? the big allocations you still excape through these means to other regions, leaving the people impoverished...

if you doubt me, just go to any shop in ph pick up anything ask the price, call osha, ABEOKUTA, lagos, Kaduna and jos, and find out the prices.. #im not talking of agro product..

huangcheng:
Even we Igbos run away from the SE when it comes to business competition. The competition in the SE is so fierce that even the Oga you learnt trade from will be your fiercest competitor. In the SE there is no sleeping on a bicycle, you better hit the ground running else you'll be at upper iweka within 6 months running Oso ahia.

If you think you can beat the competition by importing cheap goods from China, someone will set up a factory in the east and start producing what you're importing at a cheaper price. Your Oga don't know why other tribes even foreign companies cannot compete in the SE. No try our Igbo brothers oo

There are many yoruba in benin republic and togo. they are not in Nigeria.

Op, go and read Isaac Adaka Boro Autobiography (wriiten himself). Read Chapter 5 - Campus Politics
http://www.adakaboro.org/the12dayrev/chapter-5-campus-politics.

This was the campaign statement of his opponent for UNN SUG presidency:

"My opponent, Ejiogu, took the floor when I had finished, and what did he say? "Ladies and gentleman, this is a crucial time in Nigeria when we should not allow a vocal minority to rule an obvious majority.

These words still ring in my memory because, as my opponent put it, they are crucial not only to me but to my people, the Ijaws. Most of the alien students walked out of the hall and it seemed as if a spell was cast on the atmosphere. The campaigns ended solemnly and the result of the election was again one way. Ejiogu won with his majority. The last minute strategy. A Cameroonian friend of mine, John Ngole, promptly resigned his secretaryship of the Historical Society in protest."

And I ask, to what means??

Why go to the extent of using another's origin or tribe to cause disaffection??

If they aren't so worried about the actualization of Biafra and Niger Delta Republic then why go to such extent/length??

I've always wished for a better Nigeria or new countries allowed to spring up. I've always wished for peace but the more people keep playing all this dumb tricks to divide the already one people, the more my mind gets taken to the extreme of "let it be achieved whichever way possible".

The people trying to sow more seeds of discomfort doesn't even have the slightest feeling that they are pouring palm oil in an empty pot placed over a burning stove.

They should develop sense right now and stop all this nonsense or at the end, what they have been trying covertly to prevent will be actualized by their own hands.

What is this rubbish?

atbu1983:
Op, from my perspective, I think you are d one who is myopic who does not see the big picture. Niger Delta Emancipation cannot happened through Biafra. You may be a Biafra symperthiser and believe that any South South person who does not support Biafra is Myopic.

The truth is that not everybody want to be subordinate for ever. Many south south people want total freedom. Not a situation where a Tribe (igbo) who believe they are born to rule all the south south minority we put us into to complete extinction. Hausa Fulani is not our problem. The problem of Niger Delta is Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. To me Hausa people have some respect and regard for others even when power is with them. But Igbo will threat others as semi-human being if you give them that opportunity.

History has teach many wise south south people Igbo are the worst set of Nigerians to give absolute power to. The attrocity and genocide committed by the Igbo on south south minority during the civil war is still fresh in some peoples mind. You might have forgotten others have not.

Isaac Adaka boro lost his vision of Ijaw Republic because Igbo believes we are thier slaves. It was Igbo head of state General Agunyi Ironsi who stopped him and fought him and destroyed his dream.

You may have personal hatred for Hausa/fulani because igbos have brainwashed you they are your enemy. Not everyone is brainwashed.
