They will tell you that they have the best technology and largest market in the world, and that rivers, delta, akwa-ibom and even Edo states have 90% ibo population.
They're just hollow, chest-beating jesters who don't want to be taken seriously.

Biafra is a proposed sovereign state...........we claim Biafra as a Nationality not ethnicity.........I reminded pple like u of being proudly Igbo
1. is it only Igbo that will be in Biafra?

Or rather you have explanation problem I guess too.
The bottom line is just because you don't like it when some people refer to themselves as Niger Deltans doesn't mean you shall come up with a hypocritical theory that Niger Delta is not a tribe. Which one is Biafra is "is for all our people"? What does that mean? Isn't Niger Delta for all their people as well?
According to your theory they shouldn't call themselves Niger Deltans because it's not a tribe, then you shall not call yourself Biafran because it is not a tribe either.
Please don't quote me again, I rest my case.

What make Rivers, Cross-River, Edo more Niger Delta than Abia and Imo state? In terms of location, oil production.

Which river give the boundary?
If you mean River Niger then know it now that River Niger runs through Igboland. Creation of political regions are not boundaries of ethnic nationalities.

The topic doesn't make sense, everyone knows their tribe and ethnic background, but we are closely related to people we share same state with, most people from same states share common ancestry. Nothing bad in an Edo man for instance identifying as Benin, it's same progenitors.

The Niger Delta is the delta of the Niger River at the Gulf of
Guinea on the Atlantic Ocean in Nigeria.
It is a very densely populated region sometimes called the
Oil Rivers because it was once a major producer of palm
oil. The area was the British Oil Rivers Protectorate from
1885 until 1893, when it was expanded and became the
Niger Coast Protectorate. The delta is an oil-rich region, and
has been the centre of international controversy over
devastating pollution and ecocide, kleptocracy (notably by
the Abacha regime), and human rights violations in which
Royal Dutch Shell has been implicated.


The Niger Delta, as now defined officially by the Nigerian
government, extends over about 70,000 km2 (27,000 sq mi)
and makes up 7.5% of Nigeria's land mass. Historically and
cartographically, it consists of present-day Bayelsa, Delta,
and Rivers States. In 2000, however, Obasanjo's regime
included Abia, Akwa-Ibom, Cross River State, Edo, Imo and
Ondo States in the region. Some 31 million people of
more than 40 ethnic groups including the Bini, Efik, Esan,
Ibibio, Igbo, Annang, Oron, Ijaw, Itsekiri, Yoruba, Isoko,
Urhobo, Ukwuani, and Kalabari, are among the inhabitants
in the Niger Delta, speaking about 250 different dialects.
The Niger Delta, and the "South South Zone", which includes
Akwa Ibom State, Bayelsa State, Cross River State, Delta
State, Edo State and Rivers State are two different entities.


From d above historical explanations it is obvious dat Niger Delta is not a tribe, not even a geopolitical zone bt a selfish political creation of a region 4 divisive purpose by d born 2 rule anarchists.......my admonition is 4 all d pple hiding under shadow of Niger Delta 2 b bold of dia various ethnic groups/ tribes or simply accept Biafra as d case may be....

I tink its only low self esteem dat will make a mature enlightened person 2 use statements like I am not an Igbo but a Niger Delta.......lolz....y not be specific? Or re u ashamed of ur ethnic origin? D most annoying part is dat every delta state non-igbo speaking indigine will always 4m "warri boy/girl" as if warri is ur true identity.......Edo guys own na him worst pass self.......2 dem dey re all Benin boys....shuuuuu benin na ur identity?

My advice is 4 u 2 deny ur origin by allowing ur ethnic identity go in2 extinction by d miasma of Ignorance is 2 miss d culture of ur identity.....wake up 4rm ur sleep n be proud of ur Bini, Efik, Esan,Ibibio, Igbo, Annang, Oron, Ijaw, Itsekiri, Isoko,Urhobo, Ukwuani, and Kalabari, etc jst as ur Igbo, Yoruba ,Idomas,Tiv n other ethnic groups are....irrespective of ur minority..


There is nothing like Niger Delta. They are too different to be one. From Ogoja to Ogoni or Isha to Oron. I don't understand.

this op, you are high on drug ...you are just typing rubbishes.

First of all,,,,Kalabari is Ijaw..... Kalabari makes up the 86 clans if Ijaw.....the op is so stupid to extent thinking Assri Dokubo, the Ijaw warrior is no longer from Kalabari kingdom again


2nd....you have been left behind in scheme of things..
You are not following up with nature...you have been highly left behind, since 2020.
When last do you hear niger delta from Ijaw man?
abi u just dey come out from prison?

So upon all the numerous threads on nairaland and on newspapers about Ijaw republic, you never see anyone? or you don't understand English language?
If you don't understand english language, then tell your ibo brother to help you translate them to igbo for your understanding..

Here is the map of Ijaw republic
