I find all these things funny. Someone will get up and say that the Igbos are attaching themselves to the SS but the same person has already attached himself to more than 20 tribes in the name of SS Some will get up and call himself "Niger Deltan" and believe that this gives him the right to speak for more than 20 ethnic groups Someone will be talking about "my Niger Delta Region", "SS Region", "Niger Delta Republic" but never once has the person has the oerson asked the other ethnic groups around him if they ok with this connotations Someone will be talking about "attach by force" and ignore the fact that we are all already attached by force in Nigeria In the midst of all this nonsense talk, only Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB group are saying let everyone choose their destiny through a democratic referendum. When you talk about referendum, some of the people who are shouting 'attach by force' will suddenly forget their right of choice and be asking why there should be a referendum. For me, I think it is the right of every ethnic in Nigeria to decide their destiny, however, the focus should be on a referendum to let everyone decide. At this point in time, the only agitation for self determination in the lower Niger that has any steam behind it is that of Biafra. The Biafra we are talking about must be decided via a democratic referendum. The true Biafrans will be those who vote to go, the Nigerians will be those who vote to remain. |

@OP no need to bother yourself.. not in this era of nuclear weapons If they want to go, it's going to be their 5 SE Igbo-speaking states and nothing more. If it's not hypocrisy self. you claim you want biafra to be free from Nigeria but don't want others to have a voice and make their own choice. |

pazienza:lol bro...all these you have listed are potential states or regions inside a SE/SS UNION They would most likely not be their own countries at the end. Read about the UAE. Those entities are already closing the gap of divide in their ss region but you are one of those who choose to concentrate on the remaining gap rather than the trend of an actual closing gap. I predict that there would not be a balkanisation of the niger delta beyond 2 or 3 countries...and if it ever reaches the number u predicted then the next thing would be a federal union of all break away entities |

dukeprince50:I don't quite agree with you.You have failed to THINK DEEPLY.Its unfortunate that you don't realize that Nigeria is in disarray and has collapsed irredeemably and it can only become worst let's not deceive ourselves. 5 terrorist groups are raping, pillaging and killing Nigerians unabated and none of them is being tried today in any court. The north have different constitution in sharia.How on earth do think that things will change for us when the north is enjoying 87%of our resources. With the skewed structured Nigeria in favour of the north, hoping for better Nigeria is like a camel passing through the eye of the niddle.I am from the niger delta but the fact is, no group is known today championing for the emancipation of the niger delta peoples.Show me the group because i wish to join.Niger delta tribes and Igbo futures are interwoven because Igbo is the second largest population if not the first in the niger delta, what can you do without Igbo.I believe joining Biafra/ipob who have gained worldwide recognition is the fastest way to achieve independence. The Igbo I know is not ready to enslave any group,they want total freedom to thrive. Let's join forces with ipob to get Biafra first and then can part ways. The Igbo know that without Niger delta, Biafra will take awhile and without Igbo niger delta republic is a mirage.I take Biafra a zillion times over Nigeria but people that matter are reaching out to the tribes in the niger delta not on nairaland but referendum result will surprise all.One Nigeria is death. |

Arrewa:Arrewa your strong hold on oil and gas is being threatened by the coming of Biafra. I can see you're gasping for breath. I am from rivers state and a morbid Biafran.Your years of divide and rule is over.We inter marry with igbo,eat one another food and 95% Christians. What do we share in common with the arewa? To hell with your one Nigeria.All hail Biafra! |

sageb:"With the war ended, and as a Commissioner in Rivers State, I soon found that the Rivers State for which I had fought did not end my nightmare. In the first place, oil money from Ogoni country (as well as Ijaw country) was being carted away to Lagos, leaving the Ogoni illiterate and backward. This is anti-federalism. Worse still, the Ijaws were taking their frustrations out on the non-Ijaws of the State. For the Ijaws alone number more than the eight other ethnic groups in Rivers State put together. Though historically disunited, the Ijaws find unity when it comes to lording if over the non-Ijaws. The Ijaws will want to perpetuate this. Today, there is not even a Commissioner from my Local Government Area in the Rivers State Cabinet. My dilemma as an Ogoni is not about to end. “Lost in this dreadful nightmare, I went in 1971 to see Chief Awolowo at the Federal Ministry of Finance. There was nothing I told the sage that he was not aware of. He showed me his writings on the issue and bade me seek the mid-Southern State he had proposed in 1966. Thus, was the quest for a Port Harcourt State begun. In 1974, when we started, there was no shortage of opponents. To the Ijaws, I became a traitor. The creation of this State would alleviate my nightmare”. ~ Saro Wiwa 1971. https://riversijawvoice.com.ng/2018/08/22/obi-wali-and-ken-saro-wiwa-created-the-upland-riverine-dichotomy/ Let's not pretend like there was not a total Ijaw domination and blatant disregard of ethnic heterogeneity of old Rivers state that left Saro wiwa and Ogoni in pains. Ikwerre lernt the current blatant disrespect of ethnic diversity of Rivers state and arrogance from the Ijaws. Let's not pretend like Niger Delta Republic will be any different for smaller ethnic nationalities. |

pazienza:Well, you made a lot of reasonable comments. I must commend you However, I want to point out something. You made mention of Ijaws in Ondo State. Truth is, there is no way Ijaws can be carved out of Ondo state. 1. They are settlers 2. They have been Yorubanized. 3. They are at the center, Yoruba communities surrounded them.. Then, blackking98 is correct about these independent countries in Niger delta, you made mention. You mean Edo state will become a country?? Itshekiri too?? |

Sammy07:Why can't Edo be a country. By population, she is bigger than most European countries? Itshekiri is bigger than the likes of Monaco, Kosovo, etc. What's good for Europeans isn't also good for Africans? Borders make for good neighbors. We can all relate via ECOWAS and AU. Those organizations are there for a reason. But diversity of indigenous people and right to pursue their national goals independent of interference or hindrance of others must be observed and respected , if Africa must move forward. |

pazienza:Bros with all due respect, sometimes it is nice to tell the he-goat that its owner brought it to the market not the other way around. There is a solid essence to tell certain goons there is nothing like Niger Delta. |
| Re: South East Should Stop Disrespecting The Niger Delta by pazienza(m): 7:16pm On May 05, 2020 |
Dedetwo:Dede. I beg to disagree. The Niger delta reserve the right to choose what is right for themselves, even if we think it's not right for them, it should be none of our business. It's actually a display of lack of intellect to try and force your opinion on others or try to forcefully keep them in a union they want no part of. Ndiigbo would have no moral high ground to demand for Separate Biafra, if we keep insisting that there is no Niger Delta, because Nigerians can as well claim there is no Biafra and that we are stupid for wanting Biafra. In all we do, we must think of repercussions and extrapolations our actions could result to. What is good for the goose should also be good for the gander. Niger delta exists, whether Biafrans like it or not, just as Biafra exists, whether Nigerians like it or not. You will never make a Niger deltan Biafran, just as you can never make a Biafran Nigerian. Such arrangements of forceful union will only breed resentment, hate and pepertual failure of such anomalous geographical expression as typified by Nigeria's comatose state today. |

pazienza:You are right. IPOB are confused set of people without sense of direction. Any republic that is not exclusively made of Igbo group will fail. I will never campaign for Biafra until I see a map that is devoid of minorities. |

pazienza:Bro Pazi, who the hell are Niger Delta? I really do not want a repeated lie to become defector truth. All of the goons who shout Niger Delta on this forum are even ashamed of their ancestral heritage. Please be mindful there are large percentage of Igbo people in the so-called Niger Delta. I am strictly for Republic of Igbo land not even Biafra. However there are very close allies who fought the war of attrition with Ndigbo in Biafra. It is a good manner of respect to give these worthy allies a chance to choose. There is a factor called cultural proximity in the make of a nation state. There is no doubt in my mind that there are groups of people in the so-called Niger Delta who would want to join Oduduwa Republic even though they remain in their shell of treachery. Bro Pazi, I shall repeat nothing defines Nigeria to me more than Nigeria/Biafra war. |
| Re: South East Should Stop Disrespecting The Niger Delta by Rodwave: 8:01pm On May 05, 2020 |
MichaelDuf:Are you an IPOB member? I repeat, Igbos do not need any minority in Biafra. Let them form their own nation or join any group they want to. IPOB members are ignorant. They are disgracing the great Igbo race. |
| Re: South East Should Stop Disrespecting The Niger Delta by Rodwave: 8:03pm On May 05, 2020 |
MichaelDuf:What is worth doing is worth doing well. You IPOB members don't like contrary opinion. You guys are worst than the zoo you are condemning. Listen to pazienza and learn. |
