mulatooclaro come and have back your thread please change the title to Edo state development thread. No Igbo man can have anything to do with haters like you Edo people.

Rocktation:
All this by force alignment by these S-easterners na because of our oil oo. I neva see where dem de force person to family person before.

mulattoclaro:
This thread is dedicated to everyone from the SS and the Niger Delta. It's an avenue for us to know ourselves better. Let's kick start by introducing ourselves, our ethnicity, our LGAS, our community and our state.

Let's also discuss what bothers us as a region and if possible profer solutions to such problems.

your state, LG and community pls.

coolitempa:
Can't you guys just let the SS and Niger delta people enjoy their thread.......I can't begin to think these are the people you want in your proposed Biafra.....you will surely destroy them if they ever mistakenly join your dead on arrival Biafra.... .

See how miserable a life you lead.


Why on earth would you carry someone load on your head and be dragging your own very elephant load with hand.

Shameless thing

mechy:


Please take it easy. You are going too far. We, the Igbos need the Ijaws, just as they need us... This e-bashing will certainly be counterproductive. It is enough. Let this thread proceed on its initial course.... God bless you as you heed to common sense.

We don't need them.
Can you grab a slimy eel?
No you can't, that's what they are. You can't have them in any deal except they as the lords.

Look at how Clark threw GEJ under the bus or Boro after being made union president. They are treacherous!

They should go form their Ijaw/ Edoid group and kill themselves with treachery there.

akthedream:

You still haven't answered the main question...
I will quote you again..
" I always told my Ikwerre
neighbors that they are Igbos, they just deny
it in a laughing manner, they don't get violent
about it, one of them even told me that he
thinks they are Igbo, but that his father tells
him otherwise, "
What can you deduce from the bolded?

What I see is a disconnection between the old Ikwerre people and New young Ikwerre people.

While the old Ikwerre view of the world is narrow and a bit fixed. The world wide view of the young enlightened Ikwerre is broad and malleable.

Why do you think Chibuzo doubts what his father told him about his ethnicity? It's simply because of his inability to reconcile what his father told and is still telling him, with what his deductive reasoning is telling him.
Chibuzo can sell his Ogoni friends he grew up with, with Ikwerre language, yet I was an Igbo man, fresh from Enugu, and I could hear and understand his language, and not only that, he( chibuzo) understood my Enugu central Igbo too.

His educated and literate mind is already telling him that his father is wrong, but for the sake of respect he has for his father, he remains indifferent towards accepting the Igbo tag.

Obiagu1:


I wonder when they'll understand this simple thing.

Create an Ijaw/Edoid thread and if you see me peep into it, know that I'm nuts.

Arrogant thieves!

Fact

Even the yorubas created a Yoruba thread and Igbos avoided it like Egyptian plague even though we could have invaded it like the miserable yorubas on nairaland always do on Igbo threads but we did not go to their thread because we don't give a fork.


Let these edo and Ijaw things go and create edo/Ijaw whatever and am certain no Igbo will give a fork.

kel4soft:


We can't drink water and keep cup again? What is our offence oh dear? Please we can't be invaded in our own thread. Please leave us alone.

You are a battyman! I'm also from the so called SS (an Igbo from Egbema, Rivers state to be precise), and I have every right to be here, or you think this is the old Rivers state where you Ijaw hijacked everything to yourselves. Like someone told you confused clowns, go and create an Ijoid-Edoid thread and we won't be there. BTW, when are you going to be a niger deltan? Confused foool

True. It's now obvious Ndiigbo can't form any union with Ijaws and Edoids .

The Edoids are empire builders, they are used to being the top dogs , terrorising weaker neighbouring groups exploiting them and installing stooges that paid them loyalties. After the colonials came, they became reduced to minorities, a status they are not used to, seeing as they are used to lording it over others, the Igbo population scares and intimidates them and makes it clear to them that they can't ever be lords again, if they should share a region with Ndiigbo.

Being oppressors and exploitation masters themselves, the Edoids see in Igbo, what they see in themselves , and nothing Ndiigbo do will ever cure them of that fear!

"Ogbu nma ekwe ka nma fee ya azu"~ an old wise Igbo saying.


The Ijaws have problem with land, most of them are no longer comfortable with their swampy lands, majority of them are now living in Upland Igboid areas of Rivers state. They see the Igbos as a threat to their push for more lands, the more Igbos migrate from SE to upland Rivers state areas in search of job. The Ijaws need to get the Igbos from SE out of the picture, they fancy their chances of land grabbing against the Igboids than against the hordes of Igbos from SE.

These agenda by Ijaws and Edoids can never be changed or wished away, the earlier we accept it for what it is, the earlier we moved on.

My dear brother, you're one of the few Igbos that still make me come to nairaland. With folks like you at the helm of affairs, Ndigbo can even stay in the zoo (though I don't recommend that) and get everything they want. Again, may your days be long, for we need strategic thinkers like you. I also commend Obiaju, and I miss other Igbo strategic thinkers like Dede1, Onlytruth, Ezeuche & co

calebo101:
[b]I'm urhobo and I align full time with the Biafran cause. There's nothing like Niger Delta. It's so mixed a region that it's best to pit our collective efforts under one umbrella. Though some may not agree with me but like I maintain even if the Biafrans are interested in our resources it's better having them plundering us than having the Yorubas and Hausa combining to fleece us.

Tonyebacarnista, Truckpusher, and other Niger Deltans, I beg to disagree with your stance on this issue. It's a shame we cannot come together under an umbrella to fight a common cause. What are we to benefit from negotiations with the federal government? Isn't it clear we're just the golden hen that lays the eggs and there is no way we can have full resource control in a united Nigeria? Pipelines are drawn from our villages to Lagos and Kaduna and the biggest refineries are built there. Dangote is building a refinery in Lekki. Who do they employ? The Yorubas and the hausa while our youths are contents with peanuts. And now there's a growing movement which we can align to and break free from these shackles and you say we're Niger Deltans??

We should not make the mistakes our parents made. They were deceived due to lack of exposure and ignorance, and that's the price we pay. Niger Deltans are not politically matured to fight a cause. Too many useless self serving leaders we have. And it's established we are minority. A better strategy is to align with a bigger movement which is Biafra. The worse case scenario is having a country and be controlled by the Igbos which I so so highly doubt or continue being the slaves we are in Nigeria.

The Yorubas and hausas already have a bond. It's time for Niger Delta to align with the Igbos and present a united front. At worse we get a review of the Nigerian structure. No offences made and non taken. I just made my point.[/b]

Fact, you have said it all.
I always know there are still people with reason.

madenigga:
no problem sha, southsouth or southeast, come Niger delta come Biafra its a win win situation for we igbos in the southsouth, I know that we would be the bargaining chip if all chips are down since both groups want us badly , Godbless my ancestors and Nigeria for placing us in such a strategic position, after wike the next governor of Rivers state would be an oyigbo man, Biafrans better vote us or we wont support them and niger deltans better vote us or we wont support there Niger delta republic .
God bless Nigeria.

I try to understand you..but you keep getting me confused..
Can you help me out?

Can you exit from this thread? Why can't you lot leave us in peace. Are we the first to have neighbours. Is that how you will repay us for been generous and friendly all these years?

They have every right to be here as you. Since you land thieves have been on this forum trying to rewrite anioma, oyibo, egbema, etc history, likewise claiming territories that v isn't yours and had the f2kibg audacity to tell us, SS Igbo's, to leave our ancestors land and go back to SE so you f2kers can steal our lands.. I'm f2king glad they on this page saying the truth about you people. I've been telling them this for years but they didn't listen. Now they are seeing it for themselves
Despite mulattoclaro is a corward yoloba that I long busted, this shows that nigga got no shame, but anyway, I'm glad he opened this thread. Finally my SE bros eyes don open. Even obiagu eyes is open. I'm excited as f2k right.

@ pazienza, there's also an article which I think you'll be interested. I can't find anymore but once I find it, I'll cc you on it. It's actually about an oyigbo indigenous addressing the ijaws based on the amnesty. The guy said and I quote that the ijaws were the only ppl that got the amnesty money, noone else, since the ijaws claim they, ndoki's, are ijaws then how come he and his people were not giving amnesty money as well. He said when he went to address the ijaws on this says fact, this people said and I quote that they ndoki are Igbo and they only clarify ndoki ijaw just for political reason. Literally that was what the ijaw elder told that ndoki dude. I swear you should read that article. Once I find it again, I'll post it on NL and cc you.

This is cowardice!! You dare NOT TRY THIS RUBBISH ON A YORUBA THREAD BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES

[b] A socio-political group in the South-South, ekpeye Youth Congress (EYC), has dismissed claims in some quarters that the immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan empowered the people of the region.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan

The group made this known in a statement jointly signed by its president-general and acting secretary, emenike Uriah Musa and Anthony Onyemachi. The group dismissed the purported assertion made by Senator Shehu Sani, that the people of the Niger Delta were the major beneficiaries of Jonathan’s administration.

According to Daily Trust the group said that the Ijaws were the main beneficiaries of the appointments and programmes carried out throughout the period Jonathan served as president.

The group said: “The attention of the ekpeye Youth Congress (EYC) World-Wide has been drawn to the vituperations of one Mallam Shehu Sani, Senator Representing Kaduna North Senatorial District in the print media, to the effect that the people of Niger Delta are the only ones who benefited in political appointments and infrastructural development in the former President Goodluck Jonathan Administration, and that the North and South West did not benefit.”

The group added that apart from the Ijaws, other major ethnic groups like the Urhobos, Ibibios, Anangs, Ogonis, Efiks, Ikwerres, Etches, Ekpeyes, Ndokwas,Ogojas, Ogbas as well as Binis, while others were left out.

“The beneficiaries of the Presidential Amnesty Programme were 90% of Ijaw extraction,” the group said.

The post Crack In Niger Delta Over Alleged Favouritism Of Ijaws By Jonathan appeared first on Nigeria News today & Breaking news | Read on NAIJ.COM. [/b]

This is the type of Niger delta republic Ijaws want!

All the Niger delta struggle the last decade ended up with Ijaws grabbing the entire dividend.

- Ijaw vp
- Ijaw president
- Ijaw 90% beneficiaries of the Amnesty program, in a region with up to 50 other ethnic groups.

Itsekiri graduates un der the aegis of National
Association of Itsekiri graduates (NAIG) have
called on President Goodluck Jonathan to call the
Minister for Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday
Orubebe to order or fresh crises will erupt in the
Niger Delta, particularly oil rich Delta State over
gross marginalisation and neglect of Itsekiri
interest by Niger Delta Ministry.
A statement issued in Warri by NAIG signed by its
National Chairman, Ebrohimi Oritsuwa and
Secretary, Bawo Nobi, stated that out of 109
persons shortlisted for training in India by Niger
Delta ministry, no Itsekiri graduate or indigene
was shortlisted.
“The question we want to ask the Hon. Minister
of Niger Delta and the Ministry of Niger Delta is:
Are Itsekiri graduates not qualified to participate
in the training programmes meant for Niger
Delta? Or is Itsekiri not part of the the Niger
Delta?”
The minister, the Ministry of Niger Delta and
Nigerians know that Itsekiri nation contribute
over 26 per cent of oil and gas to the Nigeria
economy. Therefore its graduates and youths are
entitled to benefit from the programmes meant
for the Niger Delta except the minister wants us
to believe that the Niger Delta Ministry is created
for the Ijaw and headed by Ijaw to dominate the
region.
We call on Mr. President to call the Minister of
Niger Delta to order now before it is too late.

You should be ashamed of yourself , bearing an Igbo Moniker when you are not Igbo.

Niger delta in Nigeria involves Abia and Imo, SS involves Igbo people too.

SS is not recognized in Nigerian constitution, and furthermore this is an open forum, everyone has right to comment on any thread, which is why Ijaw, Edoid and Yoruba elements have been commenting on Biafran threads, that was supposed to be strictly for Biafrans, the OP of this thread being a major culprit.

If this thread was named Ijaw or Edoid thread, then I would have been wrong to comment here.
