I have watched with keen interest and frenzy on the agitation of some people of igbo extraction and eastern region of Nigeria in their quest for the creation of their own state of Biafra . While I understand the isolation, despair, annoyance that necessitated the original call for the state of biafra by its original progenitors in may of 1967 , following the pogrom of igbos in northern Nigeria which infiltrated to lagos(the then federal capital), down to the brutal massacre of 187 igbo military officers in the bloody coup to the mass exodus of igbo back to their eastern region , a time of great division, hate, anarchy and social injustice , albeit an unpleasant past better left untapped, while I understand all these I have failed to understand the root cause for the present agitation.... That being said , I still respect their right to self determination and to decide their own fate as long as it is done with pen and peaceful match and not barrels ; However I happen to be more concerned about my primary constituent which is the Niger delta and how this is affecting us.


Firstly, I'll wanna correct a false notion being paraded by these agitators "Rivers state is an igbo land" This fallacy being peddled must be nipped at its bud before it gets out of hand, I really do not know or understand the origin of this, For a quick reminder incase you might have forgotten, Nigeria is divided into 6 geopolitical zones : North East, North West, North Central, South West, South East and the South South ... We happen to be of the S.S and you S.E , it is only sensible to know this two, though sharing a common boundary are not the same and you claiming our region as yours and trying to forcefully annex it into your pseudo state without due recourse to the local inhabitants to the best of my knowledge is far from sensibility and indeed a grandiloquent delirium ....

our historical Niger-Deltan agitators never believed in your cause why do you think contemporary ones Will?
It is on record the Niger delta heroes of the past, that fought for the interest and emancipation of the Niger Delta never believed in the biafran vision, notably of which Kenule beeson Saro-Wiwa who was an ardent critic of Biafra and never associated with it, Isaac Adaka Boro, our own progenitor of the Niger-Deltan armed struggle as a matter of fact enlisted into the Nigeria army to fight Biafrans even though he had previously waged a 12 day war against the federal government in declaring a Niger delta Republic. Obi - Wali wasn't an exception.
This gives you an insight,Biafra has been alien to us (Niger delta) and will always be.

We are not similar to the Biafrans, We stand for a cause we believe in and do not run in the face of defeat
The Niger-deltans are very different from the biafran agitators in character, we stand for a cause we believe in, and if need be, pay the ultimate price for it, we do not run in the face of defeat and abandon our own , this had been exemplified by Ken Saro wiwa and Adaka Boro , even our own Gen.Philip Effiong who stood till the end and called for an end to the senseless massacre when your own took to his heels abandoning the millions he had made to believe and sacrifice their lives for a cause even though he was too afraid to do same; Only to return years later contesting for presidency in same country (I'm yet to witness such cowardice and betrayal within my short time on earth).
The Biafran struggle is a fight we do not believe in and can never go in for it. Make no mistakes , We were drawn into the Biafran war of 1967 because of our proximity with eastern region, also because we had lesser number of enlightened people that could form a formidable voice. We can categorically tell you now that can NEVER happen again.


we also have a right to self determination just like you do

Finally, we also have a right to self determination just like you do, and we have recanted over and over again , WE ARE NOT BIAFRA , why can't you respect That? (It only goes to show what the minority will suffer under your supreme rule if ever actualised) . Our governor who happen to be our mouth piece has banned Biafran protest in our state(Rivers state) and have repeatedly alienated us from it, but yet you persist in flagrant disregard for we the locals and our wants.
We believe in a united Nigeria, and even at its worse if that seems impossible we will make do with a Niger Delta Republic.

I only pray this gets to every nook and cranny, and to all Biafran agitators for them to see reasons and respect the will of the Niger Deltans,

Thank you..

Mr. Ray, a social commentator /political analyst of Ikwerre extraction in Niger Delta.....

Good job Op. I will forward this to dullar dinho to include your name in the mxt list of ministers coming out soon. you don't need to make noise like your fellow SS said God forbid in senate ministerial screening just to please his northern masters. go and ask Jonathan Good luck what he wants . jobless APC errand mofoo . your removed Governor said no protest , but there was protest and there is nothing he can or will do about it. we are telling the world to beg buhari to release nnamdi KANU simple . biafran agitation and protest never started today. you are a perfect example of edwind Clark that denied Gej just to also please the born to rule parr of Nigeria. Sarowiwa if a man I respect and adore and he fought for freedom of his people but do you know his mistake?..... he had no stubborn allies , no die hard freedom fighters that are ready to die today instead of tomorrow. you that gave your self all those title political analyst (lolsssssssssssssss), what have you done for the conspiracy against GEJ in the last election, what about James ibori, alamyasie(DSP) a man that was giving presidential pardon and enemies of progress overrurned it . please if u want political recognition just buy form , contest and loose like GEJ and you will be popular . not baptizing your self with analyst political what ever ever from ikweree( bsc,MSc pol sci. HARVARD USA) abi.......... Metcheeeeeeeeeeeeew

Beautiful piece Mr Ray... Those who want a republic of biafra should fight for their course and not include others just because they share boundaries... Like u rightly pointed out, it's SS(SOUTH SOUTH) and not SSE (SOUTH SOUTH EAST). Lol

No wonder wike keep affirming it that he would not tolerate biafra agitation in rivers state.

Mr Op be rest assured, those beasterners will come here to declare you a yoruba.

They live and breath yorubas.

Per the bolded, the writer of the above junk is a calibrated dunce. Who in his/her right senses would want be a compatriot with this imbecilic cretin? You and your Ikwerre calibers are one of the reasons the protesters for Biafra are furious. Only a zoo called Nigeria will bring together a dimwit such as you with well meaning Biafrans. By the way, I solemnly agitate for Republic of Igbo land.

Biafra is A STATE OF MIND!
What other STATE does it need?

Tell me any ikwerre and Anioma participants in ur Republic of Niger delta struggle. Wiwa And Borro can take their territories and stop attaching igbo territories with their Niger delta republiic simple. Peace. U ppl are making a big mistake by retaining igbos in ur SS. U claimed SS was created to stop igbo from dominating the minorities yet u drag igbos into SS and they dominate u again in ur SS. Rivers state Minister and governor are of Igbo extraction, Delta state governor and Minister of Igbo extraction to the extent that the riverine started complaining. Even the bank of Industry South south regional headquaters is in Asaba, an Igbo town and was located there to serve Onitsha, while SE have theirs in Enugu. which means Igbos have two.

Smelly animal handler from the land of odourduwa, why don't you catapult your smelly self back to aareonakakafon's yoruba thread?

I don't know where to start laughing. He said Nigeria is divided into 6 zones but these 6 zones are not recognised in the constitution. The constitution does not know anything called SS or SE, they are just mere geographical expressions. He talks about Niger-Delta people, what is Niger-Delta people? There are more than 30 tribes in the south, which of them are you speaking for? How can anyone get up and claim to be speaking on behalf of more than 30 individual tribes? What connects an Oron man and an Urohbo man? You talked about Igbos in Rivers, can you refute the fact that Rivers state is not 70% made up of Igbos, Igbo speaking people and Igboids? The Ikwere people you talked about speak a dialect of Igbo and have Igbo surnames same as Etches, Omumas, Ahoadas that make up Rivers Igbo.

He also called Adaka Boro their progenitor! That was the funny bit. Adaka Boro only declared his Ijaw nation as "Niger-Delta Republic", he never added all the other tribes to it.

You call your self a Niger-Delta man who has self determination but you ridicule the same Biafra which your only hope of ever getting out of Nigeria.

You are a big joke

I wonder the kind or calibre of persons liking this post.

Anyway, you are thwarting my statement, and avoiding the argument, I never made mention of a Republic of ND as my struggle.... I emphasised we believe in a united Nigeria, but if that fails (meaning if Nigeria chooses to fragment) we will rather stay on our own than join the igbos.... There is no igbo territories in the south south.... The Ikwerre and oyigbos have consistently refuted any /every igbo origin, why do u keep forcing it on Us? Do u know our origin more than us, why dictating where we should be or Associate? I hv addressed the key issues, all other rant unnecessary Themonster , SS is a region and we will rather stick to it.

us? who are you and what do you represent in your tribe?

abi ss na your tribe ?

eeehmm what of anioma and co aren't they SS abi na only ikwere and ijaw be SS what of Akwa ibom, calabar etc are they not SS?
you see you can never represent these people and you can never force your opinion on them assuming you're that important in your tribe

there's no argument there naaa lol because you're nobody to decide even for your people.


nobody if forcing anybody it's a voluntary struggle but don't think an inconsequential element attention seeking mugu like you can speak for your people

Every Oil reserve has expiry date.
Ask why some major oil companies pulled out of Nigeria.

You can keep asking Northerners for resource control when you could get 100% control of your resources if you use your brains!
Karma will deal with you all in 50 years time if you fail to utilize the 13% you have now.

Like I keep saying, delusion is a sickness.

I will not join u in ur useless argument. tell us their ethnic group, SS in not an ethnic group. who cares whether they accept or not? provide convincing evidence that they are not igbos, not what the divide and rule and oil politics did to their identity

Do well to tell the OP to go to the streets and protest against Biafran protest in PH and not making noise online. Owners of the land are protesting out there, u and d OP are here online claiming land owners. When una wan get brain understand say una divide and rule tactics no work again

@Raymondenyi, that restructuring and resource control will only come after the last cup of oyel is lifted from your already devastated and ravaged ancestral lands in the Niger Delta.

To you Niger delta is ijaw.

You can get lost and drown in your oyel.

Whether you like it or not, Igboland extends into the Niger Delta or SS whichever you like and if Nigeria breaks today, we will take our lands in Delta and Rivers states.

We will also work with the Efik/Ibibio, they are the most reliable guys from the Niger Delta and not the treacherous ogogoro drinking tree-jumping monkeys from the creeks called ijaws like tonyebarcanista/Truckpusher.

The Niger Delta still remains the biggest losers in the Nigeria project, fact!
