Don't waste your time responding to those scumbags.

They have nothing to offer when truth stares them in the face except cursing their miserable lives away.
We are waiting for the day they'll declare their phantom Biafra let history repeat itself.

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.
Oboy shocked sometimes me sef no dey understand you.

Raymondenyi:
[s]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..

Don't worry there will be mo Biafra.

We still have a lot of oyel money to chop nah. Allocations are still coming.

We don't need Biafra.

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

Restructuring will only come after we have taken the last cup of oyel from your land, sell it and share the allocation. Lol

this our oyel money the sweet ooo, we don't need Biafra now. Lol
Can't you see how I'm crying grin

If you had any knowledge of Geography you should have known that all the oil effluents and chemical residue that is being used in oil and gas exploration and production washes up into the River Niger which is your primary source of fresh water into your tropical rain forest but I guess you're too dumb to understand anything right now as long as you're itching for your expansionist agenda which will always hit a brick wall like it did before. tongue

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.

On this forum I realized how much I despise other SS groups to be honest. On the this forum I realize how much I seriously seriously seriously want anioma state. I want it more than I even want biafra right now.On this forum I realize how much I hate the notion of anioma being in that "ND republic" cause I can see how much oppression going to be that sh1t. Honestly, I grew up never seeing this amount of "We SS" MFs as I see in this f2king forum. Though Majority of them fake but I don't even care anymore. I despise a whole bunch of people acting like someone self appointed them as spokesman just because a specific land in a specific political region.

OP I don't even care whether or not you're fake. I don't even care whether or not you're ikwerre as you claim. Since you claim to ikwerre, wtf gives an "ikwerre" right to speak for one..anioma that's in another state and for two oyinbo that's in the same state.

You say oyinbo have denied being Igbo yet we have here straight from oyibo themselves starting

Lagos — Complaints of marginalisation have resurrected an age-old agitation by the people of Oyigbo local government in Rivers State for a merger with their kith and kin in Abia State.

There is a grounds- well of discontent and agitation in Oyigbo local government area of Rivers State. The people are seriously complaining of marginalisation in the affairs of the state and now want to go back to Abia State from where they were carved out in 1976. Oyigbo local government was merged with Rivers State following federal government's acceptance of the report of the Justice Mamman Nasir boundary adjustment commission. Besides, they insist that they are Igbo and would be better catered for in a predominant Igbo territory. The people, under the aegis of Asa-Ndoki-Obigbo League, ANOL, have petitioned President Olusegun Obasanjo, alleging denial of social amenities such as electricity, pipe-borne water, motorable roads and hospital, among others. "Since we have been denied everything due to us, we must go back to our kith and kin in Abia State", they wrote in a petition dated February 18, 2000 and signed by Stanley Akaya and Johnson Ezenma, president and secretary-general respectively. In the petition, ANOL gave 17 reasons why the people want to go back to Abia State.

WTF makes you spokesperson of a group of people just because they share a state with you or so you claim?

Wtf makes you my spokesperson? I'm anioma and I don't recall any meeting held anywhere where you or trunkpusher or tonyebarcainsta or whoever was asked to be spokesperson.

God I don't even want biafra anymore right now. Wtf I want is anioma state and carving all igbo territory away from you f2kers cause you MFs are annoying as hell. I never met a set of men this freaking annoying. Until I came on this website did I start seeing "ijaws" or whoever lording themselves over as "SS tribes". Until started coming here did I start seeing all this one tribe speaking for several tribes. Growing up, I saw anioma speaking for anioma. Urhobo speaking for urhobo, itsekiri speaking for iteskiri, isoko speaking for isoke, etc. Until f2king came here us when I started seeing this annoying sh1t of iteskiri, urhobo, or whoever speaking for everybody including anioma. That is honestly the reason why I'm suspicious of all you illiterates claim. I don't even care anymore. You niggas are annoying as hell.

You are not my voice. You are not oyinbo voice, you are not etche voice, etc you are nobody voice but your own f2king self and your clan for the last MF time. None of y'all are f2king leaders of "SS". None of y'all are f2king king of groups in "SS". For the last f2king time SPEAK FOR ETHNIC GROUP AND YOURSELVES.

Seriously, I want out. I'm tired of sharing regions with this MFs. That is if they are real. Jesus.

Hahahahahahahahahaha. Your attempts at consoling yourself falls flat in the face.

We know the region whose ancestral lands have been iredeemably damaged by.

We know the region with polluted black waters, fishes dying and decaying in the sea.

We know the region whose forests/farmlands have been overrun and ruined by oyel.

We know the region with high concentration of poisonous gases in the air such that even teenager have grey hair.

That region is Nigeria's meal ticket and it is the wreteched lands of the niger delta.

Lmao @ IPOB/Biafra. Who wants Biafra? I see the IPOB protesters as fools. How can we leave Nigeria when we have the niger delta as our meal ticket? When we are still collecting allocations at Abuja abi the our oyel don finish ni. Lol.

Deceiving yourself all you want, the fact is that the niger delta is the biggest loser in Nigeria.

When we finish drilling all our oyel from your ravaged ancestral lands and polluted waters then there will be resource control.

Biafra ko IPOB ni. Lmao

How many tributaries makes up the sombreiro,orashi and the river nun that seats in the Niger Delta?
I hope you're aware that the River Niger empties into the Atlantic ocean from the Guinea highlands after depositing fossilized materials to nourish your rich rain forest and it's only tributary is the River Benue which cuts across the middle belt to act as a drainage basin for the highlands of the Eastern border before washing into the Atlantic ocean leaving dozens of debris behind the highlands and this is why you see places like Enugu despite sitting on top of a hill has a very good vegetation with a red soil.

Chai! what has fluid mechanics and natural flow of River Niger got to do with this now? grin smh

Well, if we argue on that factor then it is right to conclude that the marshy lowlands of Niger Delta with more fluids permeates her excess fluids underground to the harder soil of the eastern border considering the topography of the land and the basic knowledge of osmosis.

Maybe you need more research on intakes and outfalls for Seawater Reverse-Osmosis and Osmosis as it concerns your soil topography on natural environments such as lakes,seas and Rivers compared to wetlands.

Thank me later. tongue
