There are six geopolitical zones in Nigeria and the South South happens to be part of it. The South south geopolitical zone consists of six states. They are Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River. The term South south refers to the Southern most part of the country. The South south is made of the country's Southern minorities which are the Binis, Urhobos, Ijaws, Itsekiris, Isokos, Efiks, Ibibios, Ishans, Afemais, Ikwerres, Kalabaris, Nembes, Epies, Anangs, etc. These ethnic groups share a common history and are not too distinct from each other and they've always lived in peace. The people of South south are the most detribalized set of individuals you'll ever come across. They inter-marry with each other and even before the coming of the Europeans they've never at any point in history been at each others throat. The Binis see the Urhobos as brothers, the Urhobos see the ijaws as brothers, the ijaws see the Isokos as brothers, the Itsekiris see the Okpes as brothers, the Efiks see the Ibibios as brothers, the Ikwerres see the Kalabaris as brothers and they've never been any room for tribal bigotry. The day one of us was elected president we all celebrated irrespective of whether he might not be from my ethnic group or not and when he lost to Buhari we accepted our fate and have moved on. God blessed us with being the breadwinner of Nigeria. 98% of Nigeria's wealth comes from the South south. This is due to the presence of Crude oil found in our lands and in our waters. The six states that make up the South south zone are all oil producing states. The South South is also blessed with access to international waters.

I've come to realise something from those on the other side that over time they've always wanted to cunningly covet our God's given resources to themselves. They claim they're our brothers and that they're fighting for our interest but in the actual sense they are not. The igbos are only trying to force us into an alliance so that they can steal our resources and plunder our riches. They tried to do so during the civil war in the case of Benin city and the Epie people of Bayelsa. The civil war was never a war of liberation for the igbos but it was an avenue they wanted to employ in order to annex other people's land. That war could have been avoided but the greed of the igbos never allowed to know. They know that having south south will boost their economy that was why they wanted to annex our lands.

The number enemy of Nigeria are the igbos and they've never at any point hidden that fact. Igbos are not my brothers. The Urhobos, the ijaws, the ikwerres, Kalabaris, Efiks, Ibibios, Ishans, Itsekiris, Okpes, nembes, Epies etc are my brothers and not the igbos. They only want us in biafra cos of our oil and access to international waters. If not these factors, tell me why would they want to form a country with the people of South south? Simple, to rob us of our resources and make us second class citizens. One of our sons was president and with that is shows that good things are about to come for us. Buhari has kept to his promise and has even us more recognition than even our own son Gej.

South south will never be part of biafra. The earlier they realise that the bitter for them. Any attempt to include us in their map will be met heavily by force.

.Biafra comprises of ethnic groups and not south east and south south(zoos terminologies)any ethnic group in the old eastern region that decides to join the union is free to join.stop all these SS+SE jokes because we don't recognize that.

Biafra causing sleepless night for Yellowbars

if you know that is their plan then u better start strategizing a counter plan instead of posting here on nairaland

Another m0ron on the loose

Say goodbye to divide and rule. We can fight our own fights, we don't need the Yorubas tto tell us who to align with. There's a reason Midwest left the Western region in 1963.

For your information, every dumbass in the so-called south-south shall not be allowed to be Biafran. Biafra shall never look like Nigeria where all bastardized idi.ots are allowed citizenship. In fact, Biafra shall never be a child's play or joke such as Nigeria.

every Nomeclature in this world was created by man. Nigeria created south south. so today it exist. live with it

Why South South Nations Won't Join Biafra. South South nations will rather form thier Own Confederation or seperate Nations

Igbo are using the support they gave to Jonathan in 2015 election as blackmail to convert Niger delta struggle to Biafra. This deception will not work. They only supported Jonathan because they got alot of appointments under Jonathan. They are just selfish and greedy people. Niger Delta Struggle is completely different from Biafra agitation. Igbo supported Obasanjo against thier own son and Hero Ojukwu in 2003 election, they should go and claim yoruba instead.

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 12 days war.

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 a 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, self-entitlement and born to rule, control and exploit mentality. 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. But by the time you add igbo who are currently leaving outside south east, you will discover that thier population is more than all the south south put together. 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. Some we say they have River Niger. River Niger is not a sea or an ocean for big Ships.

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 unbrainwashed 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 Igbos were gaining and were in control and were 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. However while south south clamour for succession is base on lack of true fiscal Federalism, on the other hand, igbo clamour for succession is base on IGBO BORN TO RULE, CONTROL AND EXPLOIT MENTALITY. Igbo make noise and claim d north have born to rule mentality because of Sokoto State former motto of born to rule which they have change. The People with the true born to rule mentality are d Igbo. it is because they are not having thier way that they are complaining and making all d noise all over Nigeria.

But how and why Nigeria will and should 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.

They will argue that there are some igbo in rivers state, delta state and edo state. As far as i am concern Igbo speaking people in south south will join Niger delta republic or confederation. Their are Hausa people in Niger, there are Yoruba people in Benin Republic and Togo. Does that make those yoruba and hausa speaking people in those countries Nigerians?

The south south nationalities can form a confederation with United Arab Emirate template, where seven different nationalities came together to form a confederation with each nationality having some form of autonomy.

if the south east want to join the confederation they can join. We can't leave nigeria and go and form another normal single country were there is a dominant tribe. That will be moving from frying pan to fire.

Just like the United Ararb emirate asked qatar and behrain to join them, but qatar and behrain choose to form thier individual countries.

What Biafra represent is a single country with a powerful centre where a dominant tribe can control. South south dont want that. If we must fight or struggle for succession, we need a new name like "United State of niger delta" or any other name which clearly shows a union rather than a single country.

We need to set the record straight before south south nations make the mistake of south Sudan. It is more than Four years south sudan left
sudan to form thier country. Since that time south sudan has been in War while North Sudan enjoy peace. This was because nations in
south sudan came together to form a single country without ensuring that thier difference in ethnicity was fully discuss. Some
part of south sudan are now feeling marginalized. That is exactly what will happen if Igbo succeed in forcing south south nations into
Biafra. That so called Biafra wont have peace. It will be another Somalia!!!!

For peace to rain let Igbo form Biafra from the Five south east state and let the the six states in south south form a confederation or seperate nations. Anything outside this will never work.

I do not hate Igbo people. Many of my friends are Igbo. I only hate thier deceit and greed. what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
What we dont want is a dominant tribe simple. If south south join Biafra, that country will be 60% Igbo. How do you think other minorities can compete in that kind of country? Whether we like it or not we both know that Igbo are not diplomatic people by nature. That will lead to complete extinction of other tribe. in less than 50years they will make the whole Biafra Ibo without any consideration.

I dont hate Igbo. But i hate when i know the Biafra they seek is a Biafra with current south south as an appendage to it.
Why cant they support our freedom, and we will support thier freedom. Why do igbo make it look like it is wrong for Niger Delta people to seek thier own freedom outside Biafra? In biafra current south south minority will be like conquered people. God forbid that to happen.

a quote from 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."

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 country like Biafra 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

Hmmmmm, Food for thought !!!!
