Not being in support of secession but lemme clarify sm misconceptions,
if the country breaks same way NnamdI Azikiwe, Ahmadu Bello and Awolowo held a conference in the Uk before Zik rejected the secession clause is The same way a conference of the indigenous people of the new nation would hold a conference, in it talks like;
-resource control.
-rotation of power amongst the regions so that one region wont rule forever and dictate to others would be discussed.
-secession clause would be enshrined in the constitution for those who feel aggrieved.
-location of the capital, it would be in the center and must include boundaries from every region.
-tribalism would become outlawed same way racism is outlawed and words like nigga are racist.
My 2cents.

Good. I still don't know why some of my people have not cued to the idea.

Hehehehe, actually the picture you painted is the current picture. You have an opportunity to seek something better, rather than grab it, you are still pointing fingers. I fail to see how you can wriggle out of the situation in the Niger Delta especially in the area of resource control, and others. Me think it's easier to get a better deal in Biafra than in Nigeria. Currently Nigeria offer 13% derivative, and from every indication you could get close to 90% in Biafra.

In the end, it's just a matter of time. The oil will run out and when it does, everyone in the South will become expendable to the North; and there will be no bargaining chips. Then the jungle will mature!

EUROBOMBER:


You nailed it brother. I cannot understand why these guys are so worried about taking their oyel when the northern hegemony is already taking it.

These guys can even get up to 95% if they want because like you said and which is my min too, all I really care about is that straight line to the sea from same an Ibaka seaport in Akwa Ibom.

Did anybody cast a spell on the Niger Delta people??

And what is the guarantee that your 90% will come into fruition?

Show me IPOB/Biafra road map, policies,economic model and basic ideology of a nationhood.

Also show me the documentations,references and their various signatories that were drawn from the different ehtnicity that makes up the Biafra.

Just show me one thing why I should believe you here - because if you don't have it ......... don't you think it is better to remain in servitude than running away just on the promises of an Eldorado from an unlikely friend or a brother that has shown time without numbers that he is capable of enslaving you too.

Show me one thing....either by ideology or your love for these people.

Truckpusher/Tonyebarcanister, these are very wise words.

Let us all drop pride and embrace the truth.

A word is enough for the wise.

truckpusher come and tell us let us know the signs that igbos want to use to enslave you people.
Let the entire Niger delta know how igbos want to use to enslave you, show us the slave routes, show us the invasion plan, Ijaws that I know would allow anybody enslave them? u are the only one that has sth to hide let us all open up, if not for Biafra but I want to know this Igbos want to, Igbos want our and where it is coming from.

Truckpusher:
We are 100% in support of Biafra but it won't just work until they drop their expansionist agenda.

How can you give me resource control and autonomy et al when you're already claiming that 90% of my arable land belongs to you which you must take at all cost ,you must be kidding me bro.
Don't believe these people - They are so confused here, a lot of them

I gave up on secession a long time ago, because people who really need it there reason for not wanting it is not because they are enjoying from Nigeria but because they don't want igbos to have there oil.
The question is, since Igbos have not been having there oil has there land become the london?
oil was found in dubai around d same time it was found in Nigeria/ Niger delta the difference is very clear.
U and I know we Igbos dont want anybodys oil u know deep down inside u, u even know more that if really if there's anything we igboa want its just Sea port that passes through the Niger delta and nothing more.

Bolanto24 u are a Bayelsa guy, Biafra apart u know there are igbos in the Southsouth, pretending like yoi dont know or denying it is your own cup of tea.
The days when Igbos want our oil uses to hold sway in Ijaw land was when it was only riverine areas companies searched for oil which happened to be Ijaw areas but as time went on things changed.
Let me tell u how to know someone who is greedy and wants anybody's oil. They would say;
- Igbos are free to leave with there 5southeast states but not with the oil rich igbo regions in the SS.
-any igbo from the SS that accepts that is Igbo is fake and he came from the east.
-they would be opening threads on how to kill igbos or how igbos they hate them but have this pretentious love for Igbos in the SS, asif they can differentiate the two .

NOBLEDANDY:


If I eventually after all this jumbo Rambo identify you in Biafra land. Whether there was an agreement or not I will shoot you and go to jail.

You hate Igbo's and am taking it personal here hating you back. Fuckard.

How I wish people like you will never be biafrans. Gosh

I don't understand too oo. Like I said everything and everyone will be on the table to discuss it. isn't it better than what we are getting in naija? I pray they come to the realization that the Igbos are not our enemies but the Nigerian state.

bolanto24:
I am an Ijaw from Odi town in Kolokuma/Opokuma L.G.A of Bayelsa State.

In recent times, the polity is filled with demonstrations/protests from the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) in the South East and Some South - South States due to the arrest and detention of their leader Nnamdi Kanu by the F.G. Some supposedly "proud Nigerians" have capped it as an opposition sponsored protests cos of the lost elections of the PDP, which is nothing but ridiculous and preposterous. It is a fact there has always been a pro-biafra movement from the regime of OBJ to GEJ.

Now my main aim of putting the piece together is to call on the Ijaw Nation to stand up and take the side of truth. The side of truth against injustice. The side of truth for equity and fairness. The side of truth that there are many voices against the present structure/system in the country.

While the Ijaw Nation as arguably the fourth largest tribe in the country have contributed immensely to the Nigerian state, we are been bedeviled with youth restiveness, marginalization, under development and continuous suffering of our people for God knows how long.

Can we continue to tell ourselves that all is well when it is not? For how long shall we continue to live like this? For how long shall we endure the pains and sufferings of our people due to the silent treatment the Federal government has given to the supposedly "minorities"? Why do we fake our unity? Of what gain is one Nigeria? So that the born to rule over-populated North will continue to marginalize, oppress and feed fat on the God given resources of the supposedly " minorities "?

Why has the Buhari government dumbed the Confab 2014 report? Does it not favor the North? Implementing it is a step closer in addressing the yearnings and agitations in the country. I think it's time we the South should occupy Nigeria and protest for the implementation of that report. It is paramount for Peace, Unity and Development of the country.

The Ijaw Nation and other Nationalities in the Niger Delta have asked for resource control, fiscal federalism, or regionalism by ethnicity for ages now, but what have we got? A mere 13% derivation. The Ijaw Nation have asked for the de-balkanization and creation of 3 Ijaw states but we only got 1 in 1996, thereby making many Ijaws as minorities in those states they find themselves.

Taking the side of truth and standing with our Igbo brothers will send a message to the FG that there are discontented views and opinions in the creeks that more and more Niger Deltans are beginning to buy the idea of self rule/determination. The Ijaw Nation should stand with our Igbo brothers through thick and thin. We should not do the same mistake our fathers did in 1967 by siding with the FG. It was a big mistake. If we stood with them then, only God knows how far we would have come now.

The Ijaw National Congress (INC), Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), or the Ijaw Republican Assembly (IRA) should issue a a statement condemning the act of violence and intimidation meted on the protesters by the authorities, and Nnamdi Kanu should be released unconditionally.

There is a saying that " the oppressed will continue to be oppressed only to the extent the oppressed allow the oppressor". If you keep quiet when you see oppression, you have taken the side of the oppressor. Evil thrives only when good men decide to keep quiet.

Technocracy:
@Op your proposal is a very good one,I agree with you I'm a South Easterner but I don't see any reason to support Biafra goin by mode of the struggle,where Nnamdi kalu would arrogate to I'm self the only reasonable man, I think I would support the implementation of the national conference report to the letters.

Mckennedy:


The truth remains Ijaws adopted the idea of igbos are their problems from yoruba media propagandist,forgetting that same people telling you that igbos are your problem are the enemies of ijaw nation , for an instant we saw what happened at Odi "Bayalsa State" during Obasonjo, we also saw how ken saro-wiwa was hanged along nine others for agitating for the freedom of Ogoni land come to think of it how many ijaws here can tell me how many times igbos has taking war to ijaws nation? or stolen from the ijaws nation ? i know some ppl will come here to talk igbos are land grabbers "yes" but mind you if one bought a piece of land from you, that is called business you sold your land for good mony to solve your problem and money paid and recounted paid. igbos and ijaws should know that these ppl sowed this seed of discord between the ijaw and igbos to enhance them to archive their looting aim while the ijaws and igbos are busy fighting each other.

PointB:


Actually, I'm in no position to give guarantees, as I'm not a member of the inner caucus. That's why I insist that you can easily negotiate and get close to 90% in Biafra (a new nation) than in the present Nigeria. But the only thing I can say for certain is that Igbos have no agenda to enslave you, and there is no proof of previous enslavement. I can't also claim that I love Ijaws, but I have no reason to hate them either. Biafra movement is not motivated by love or hatred for Ijaws, but by desire for something much better and different from Nigeria.

You just have to believe you won't be worse off, and then take a leap of faith. Fear is one factor that prevent people from reaching their potential. In your case, ii is the fear of an illusory domination by Igbos to the extent you want to remain in servitude in Nigeria. If Jacob's children had thought like you, they wouldn't have left Egypt where they were slaves.

But if you truly believe that you are better off in servitude Nigeria than potentially getting a better deal in Biafra, I'll say good luck!

Truckpusher:
Nobody said that Igbos are our enemies here .

All we are simply saying is that they should drop every expansionist agenda and see these people as equals,is that too much to ask for?

Truckpusher:
There are no Igbos in SS and this is what I'm talking  about.

We are a distinct group that share some cultural attributes with the Igbos and that doesn't make us Igbos and this is the crux of the matter.

Truckpusher:
Like you wouldn't do the same thing if you had the same opportunity like they had. Huh! You think we are stupid? no we are not and we know you and we also know them - You're all the same,you have the same agenda which is to loot and plunder.

The North and the hypocritical South West simply beat you at your own game and we became the victim. So, why are you even crying more than the bereaved? when the death of the diseased was as a result of your shortfalls, greed and disrespect for the diseased or are you simply feigning ignorance even as the truth stare you in the face ?

Truckpusher:
We already know that your support for Jonathan was nothing but personal interest,exchange for Port Harcourt and our identity and not borne out genuine love.This we are already aware of.

Now take your support and shove it down your ass for all we care.

You need to learn how to separate political affiliation from regional and ethnic interest. 

Euro31:
why not tell us ur tribe? Am from Egbema in River state ... A proud Igbo man ... Who are u to tell me dat I am not?

That s why your name is pushing a truck..

You've ranted and ranted until your true intention is exposed.
Who cares what happens in port harcourt? I don't care about PH.

Until u apologise unconditionally for making that statement, I'll take a screenshot of this post for reference when the time comes.

Such arrogance!!

realkendy:
[b]AT TRUCKPUSHER
Enough of the insult on igbos,you've been whinning and calling igbos names simply because of little misunderstanding you had with few people. Stop ranting online, leave the Internet,go out n let your voice be heard.You may be older than Nnamdi Kanu who already has a voice.
What have you done for your people as an individual.You are here abusing people as the Internet nairaland politics warrior that you are.
I pity those igbos who give attention to all these people who sit behind a moniker to rant.Where were you when the said protest was taking place.Come out of the Internet n challenge them like a fellow man.Is it the Igbos on nairaland that carried out the protest?Whats with the abuse on igbos.
Feeling funky now,you were enjoying there company during election now u want to use them to ride to your yoruba friends.I don't blame u.

opiaoku:


and the funny part is the land grabbing issue when the real guys are at the backyard sucking oyel with large straw

Truckpusher:
[size=4pt]It might interest you to know that the Niger Delta man lost his rights to his oil the day the Igbo man started a war he couldn't win and every part of this region was seen as a war booty.So continue mocking your own defeat even as you continuously give us more reasons to remain where we are - Either way we would have had access to the oil .

There is no difference between you and the Northerners and the Westerners - They simply ganged up and beat you in your own game and we the Niger Delta people became collateral damages.That is your shame and not ours - That other major tribes took away your younger brothers right under your watch as a result of your greed and recklessness is your shame my friend.

Go figure........[/size].
