Same as you....

There is already agitations in the South, you can't stop it you either join or be consumed by its furnace.

helinues:
DOA...

Let each region fight for themselves... There is nothing like Southern Unity ...

You guys better think twice before plunging southern region into another Chao and confusion

You do not speak for the millions of Yoruba.

We no dey too talk but when we talk, we must do. Greetings from the Niger Delta, Asawanah.

The South will act as a single unit to eliminate the threat from the North, that I can bet.

You can reply anytime you like, that shows you have something doing and only check in once in a while.

Secondly, not all countries in the middle East would support the north. There are different sects in Islam, Wahhabism, Sunni, Shiite etc. Remember the shiite Muslims in the North that buhari's presidency has been trying to silence. Even amongst OIC (organisation of Islamic council), they usually have disagreements. They don't all love themselves like that, and the North would become another Yemen because different Islamic sects would support different regions. It would just be another Libya. The only reason the Shi'ite have not been able to declare themselves is cause they don't have access to weapons. People who are bold enough to attack Burutai's convoy with stones, imagine what they will do if they get external support from countries like Iran, Qatar and some other Shi'ite countries in the middle east.

Thirdly, like I said earlier, YORUBAs definitely won't fight alone. Just earlier today, I watched a video where boys went to shut down a refinery in warri. This happened just yesterday night. Also, a pipeline was attacked yesterday. It's in the news. ND boys are just waiting for chaos to take advantage of it. If you're on IG, I'll send you the video.
Of course, OPC can't fight alone, the main thing is people who would take advantage of the whole thing like the ND boys, external support would definitely come in for the south (trust me, those guys hate Britain and are waiting for the right opportunity, Italy had always blamed British for their exploratory events in Africa and always told African countries to wake up), many of our brothers in the armed forces would join ranks with us (others would betray us). Like you said earlier, let's wait for 2023 and see what happens.

I hope the break up happens faster, a United Southern Nigeria will be very powerful and will develop at an exceedingly fast pace.

Please is true that Amadioha main Shrine is in etched?

It is Etche and not Etched. Amadioha is an Etche diety with its main shrine in Etche.

Fvck may God rest your soul Diego, your great moments will forever live in lie memories.

The IIIJ is a shell organization probably created by the government to save their head. The only known investigative journalism association is the International Consortium for Investigative Journalism (ICIJ), a quick google search would show that the IIIJ only started existing hours ago. Another search on the name, Francois Deburoiche shows he/she doesn't exist names like that which exist have no links to the IIIJ.

The FG has finally met their match, you may have bullied local media but I am certain you can't bully CNN or any other international media.

Lol, you're not being realistic at all. Under old Rivers State, Ijaws had a field day riding roughshod all over others in Rivers State. Now that they will be combining with their brothers in Delta and Edo with many Ijaw militants that has been empowered who will be acting like warlords in a now small country without the protection of a bigger entity, is when you think you will stand a chance?

Look at the way that Ijaw man was challenging SS governors recently without respect nor fear. That is how Ijaw warlords will challenge any Niger Delta ruler and threaten him with insurgency if he doesn't do what they want.

Again, Ikwerre is an ethnic nationality, likewise Etche, so on what ground do you believe their interest will be the same?

Any Igbo or Igboid group that would be left behind in an Ijaw dominated nation are finished.

I repeat, Ikwerres and Itshekiris will suffer the worst consequences.

The Ikwerres and the people of Etche have worked hand in hand from time past. The Ijaws can't dominate because alliances will be formed by those who feel intimidated. Every part of the Niger Delta their own share of the militants even if the Ijaws have a larger share.

GidiCars:
Of course, the military is northern dominated which is why people from the south are still keeping calm. When it comes to the real deal, most southerners in the military would rather ally with their people. Only a foolish southerner from which ever part of the South would receive orders from a northerner to go slaughter his own people.

Secondly, OPC won't need to move around much. Once we have control of Lagos airports and sea ports, 50% of the logistics have been seized. They're all over the SW with different chapters, once it has been declared, they will fight in their different chapters with support from the agbekoyas, our men in the armed forces etc. Nigerian military jets are not real war jets, and they don't even have much of them. I don't think they're even up to 20 (plus the helicopters and jets). The jets being used by the airforce are the ones that were built by the Chinese for training their air force. In real war situations, they'll fail, that's because they were not built for real war situations.

If you watched videos of air force attacks against boko haram, you'll notice the jets stay very high in the sky and drop bombs on them. Any militia group with jet anti aircraft guns can easily bring them down. My friend in school who's dads is a militant in warri used to tell me stories about stuffs like this, I've also done some research about it. Just try doing your findings about Nigerian air force and you'll see what I'm saying. On ground forces would do most of the work cause nigeria is not an advanced country, the military have no strategy than to go in and shoot. Their only power is in the bullet of a gun.

About external influence, it'll be an agreement, as long as it's not China or US that likes to meddle in other countries government and seek to overthrow them, new allies won't want to push it too far and won't make demands that would make them seem bad. As an example, in the ND, they might seek control and ownership for let's say 50 years over some oil wells while they fully support the region. Countries like Russia, don't give a fxk about international pressure, that's why they have lots of sanctions against them. Canada has also recently flaunted sanctions and worked with sanctioned countries. Most countries would do business with you if you're a serious country and they see something for them in the relationship, thing is, will our regional leaders thoroughly work for the betterment of the regions and not turn it into another nigeria.

Lastly, Russia has been seriously trying to enter nigeria alongside France and some other powers who are just waiting for the right opportunity. Even Italy, but I won't call them a world power. It's mostly bored out of their hate for Britain, the nuclear power deal was stopped by England. Russia even proposed to build the Lagos calaber train route for free, but the Nigerian government declined.. This was because of Britain influence. They're still looking for how to come in, and they'll all pounce on a war crisis and support different regions. The North would only have the support of the British cause they're the only ones who don't want Nigeria to break away. The remaining regions would align with other countries who would support the break away.

Let's just see how 2023 plays out. If the North betrays the YORUBAs, that's the beginning of the break away.

My apologies it took this long to reply.

Yes, the Northern dominated military would align with their brothers from Chad and Niger with support from Biya of Cameroon (to ensure Ambazonia does not have the guts break away).

OPC cannot take on the Army alone, I will still stand by this. In the last 15 years OPC has not been engaged in action, they would need help from already existing militias in Nigeria that have seen action not too long ago. Anti-Aircraft guns and ground missiles (we have those in the Niger Delta) will take out Nigerian Jets (yes, I said jets because we have them in Nigeria) and attack helicopters. Our ground forces can't do much unless they conscript fellow Northerners into the Army).

Yes, Russia, France and Turkey are all looking for ways to penetrate Nigeria (China is not on the list because they have already entered Nigeria through loans to the government). And they will surely fuel the war weapons, mercenaries and food aid. But bear in mind almost all countries in the Middle East with the exception of Israel would support the North.

Italy is as good as any world power you can think of they have a very powerful military, I think the Germans would also support the South once Britain align with Nigeria (many countries would use Nigeria as ground to settle World War scores).

We await to see how 2023 turns out but I hope a Northerner clinches power, so that we would split and develop because those idiots in the North are dragging us back in terms of development.

Of course, the fate of Niger Delta lies with the two major ethnic groups in Southern Nigeria. Niger Delta will hope for a United Southern Nigeria even if Nigeria breaks up because that's the only way they can hope to save themselves from imploding.

Yorubas can easily form a country, Igbos can easily form a country but SS minorities can't. What pulls them apart is greater than what pulls them together.

Core Niger Delta i.e Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta is a highly volatile area that will go up in violence if there is no bigger entity to call them to order and protect smaller minorities against Ijaw.

The Ikwerres and Itshekiri will suffer terribly under ijaw hegemony while Akwa Ibom and Cross River would prefer not to be roped into the conflagration this they would either form alliance with Igbos or stay alone.

The Niger Delta can also decide to break away if the need be without the help of a third party. Germany is Confederation, so why can't the Niger Delta be a Confederation too. The Ijaws are not big enough to destroy the Ikwerres and the Itshekiris. As much as we don't talk about it often an attack on the Ikwerres is an attack on the people of Etche and it may not be a good outcome.

Kemi Adeosun was also thrown out not long for forgery. Every region has their own bad eggs, no side is perfect.

Biafra might have won the war if they agreed to the French deal. I remember reading that France offered to supply weapons, food and other supplies in exchange for control of some oil wells. Ojukwu out of greed refused the deal, he wanted to have control over everything in the new nation.

Also, there are countries earnestly hoping for nigeria to fall, and they would fuel the crisis more, that I know. If war breaks out in the west, the South would definitely leverage on it and seize their resources from the federal government. We only need to take control of the sea ports, airports and some other assets. Military men are not as much as they were, trust me. I have a friend in the nigerian military, he's from the SS and is currently in Kaduna (NDA). He has been there since 2012 so he has some ranks now. He always tell me how he hates these northerners, alongside his colleagues from the SS. Like I said in an earlier post, the only power the government have is the military, not all military men would join the train. The movement would only fail if our ranks betray us, short of that, we would win.

During the end sars protest, the NPA building at apapa was burnt, customs officers were pulling off their uniforms and running for their lives, that's just a minor unrest. In agor, okota, which is igbo dominated. The reason the police station was not burnt and businesses were not affected was cause they called in OPC to help save guard the markets and environment during the whole protest, if not for OPC, they would have burnt the place down and looted shops there.

On the Ethiopia crisis, the TPLF is just a small region compared to the rest of the country. If all hands are on deck in the SW, no one can stop us. It is not mouth, go check history. The reason nigeria won Biafra was cause Britain supported nigeria. There are countries that have interest in the SW but can't because of Britain. Not long ago, Russia proposed to build nuclear power plants in the SW as a form of friendship, the government refused. In event of a war, countries like Russia would simply come into agreement with the YORUBAs and fully support us. There's nothing the world can do.

It seems I would really have a good day after all .

Let me tell you, a little secret word on the street is that the French government is looking to destabilize Nigeria so that they can take total control of their colonies without interference. Ojukwu allied with France, I don't know about this Oil well issue but France, West Germany and Portugal were key allies of Biafra during the war.

I also have relatives in the military from a Colonel to Air Commodores and even folks in the DSS, no doubt they always say their loyalty lies to their people but my uncle once complained during this protest that the military is Northern dominated.

War is not won it with ground forces, the OPC does not have the logistics like jets and destroyers to go head on with the Army. An alliance with the NDVF who are known to have brought the Army to their knees after 1999 Odi massacre will go a long way in achieving their Odua Republic.

You talked of Russia and their partnership with SW, I have never heard of it but I won't argue about it. The Igbos or Biafrans give Israel the respect they have today because at the height of the civil war, Israel stood with them and supported them until the very end. Will Putin back you to the end? Getting an ally is not an issue, once you promise something return countries are willing to side you but can they withstand International pressure. Nigeria inclusive of the break away regions will be like Yemen, when so many world powers get involved in the war.

An allied South stands a better chance at defeating the North in a war than a lone South side fighting alone and the other parts working against them.

GidiCars:
Thing is, much can't be done if you don't have the support of your leaders. That's why nobody takes the igbos serious, you can't be agitating for Biafra and have your leaders still interested in the union.

Like I stated earlier, reason some YORUBA leaders are not yet in full support of OODUA NATION is cause of the agreement they have with APC, others know they won't have much power as they have now if a new nation is formed. Penalty for corruption would be death, things would be like the days of old, anyone that steals or betrays the nation would go with the ground. That's what they're afraid of, most of our OBAs and baales are already aware of the agitation, OPC is in it, everyone is just waiting for that push that would break the camel's back. Those who are shouting it can't happen would be caught unaware, the only power the Nigerian government have is the military, we also have military men in our meetings, everyone is just waiting for that final moment to happen.

Let's see how 2023 plays out.

Ah finally someone to talk of war possibilities with. Hope we have a good convo.

You know when Ojukwu went to war, the leaders in the old Eastern region never wanted to go war but who are you to defy the will of the people? And so they finally backed the SE and they went to war.

While I support a division of Nigeria, I don't think one region can do it alone if not it will be massacre like that of the civil war. The Yorubas alone can't take on the military regardless of how many soldiers of Yoruba descent are in the army. The army would have International support as usual, and before the Odua Republic gets any support it may be a case of genocide.

As for OPC, they are equivalent to every other militia groups around the world and what is happening to TPLF in Ethiopia will happen to them.

The only way the South can break away is to break away as one then divide after the break away. It would take a combination of the OPC, NDVF, IPOB and MEND to give the Army that is mainly of Northern descent a run for their money.

Remember, Nigeria has allies like the countries in the Middle East that will not want it to break up. Border countries like Niger, Chad and Cameroon will also support Nigeria.

GidiCars:
No brother, you were forced into this marriage alliance. It's not like you had a choice. Let's see what the SS governors demands will yield before you can make mouth about you forming alliances.

Which marriage are you talking about, Nigeria or another one?

We know in the SS that our politicians are dead leaves who only think of their gain and are also shot sighted. So, why would what they say or want hold water to a common Niger Deltan?

GidiCars:
We only have one LG in Edo which is Akoko-edo, don't care about the rest. Our brothers in akoko and itsekiris have never betrayed us, it's the border lines drawn that seperated us from our brothers.

Honestly, I hope you guys get your Niger Delta Republic alongside Biafra. We don't envy at all, you can keep your oil.

Biafrans were very confident during the war that the Igbos outside the East won't betray them but alas they were shocked when it happened.

The new generation of Niger Deltans wants the oil to finish as soon as possible, we are looking at a future where oil is not the key commodity and contributes very little to our GDP.

The Niger Delta does not seek to break away like Biafra but if the country would be split up then we would also secede peacefully like the other regions.
