The Eastern Region was an administrative region in Nigeria, dating back originally from the division of the colony Southern Nigeria in 1954. Its first capital was Calabar till 1967. The capital was later moved to Enugu in 1967.

The region was officially divided in 1967 into three new states, the East-Central State now south East, Rivers State and South-Eastern State now Cross river state. East-Central State had its capital at Enugu from 1967.

The discovery of coal by the colonialists led to the building of the Eastern Line railway to carry coal from the inland city to the port of Port Harcourt, a city created for this purpose located 151 miles (243 km) south. Can you tell me the mineral resource that was in Port Harcourt then? Coal mining started by mid-1915 and a railway line linking Enugu with the coast at what later became Port Harcourt was completed by the end of 1915. This was primarily for the transport of mined coal.

your account is very long, During creation of south south out of Eastern region, The now south East which you refer as Igbo hinterland were not carry along because is After returning from Aburi accord in Ghana that the region was divide into three by Yakubu Gowan. Do you forget that Enugu was made capital of Eastern region, when Yakubu Gowon caves out Eastern region capital of Calabar and commercial city of Port harcourt out of eastern region? Can you say that Igbo hinterland agitate for creating any part of Eastern region out of the region? There’s never a time military includes anyone from old Eastern region in creating of the south south region or in creating of states in today south East. The reason of creating out south South out of Eastern region is to block economic cities and sites that is already develop by Eastern region government through Eastern region Tax and economic expert.

The northern military believed that by doing so the Eastern region will stop agitates of independent. No military contact any Ikwere or any Igbo tribe in South south person in creating of the state later. They just add this Igbo tribe into the new region and ask them to deny their Igbo’s indentity through Ken Saro Wiwa. Do you remember what Abacha told saro wiwa before he was killed, He told him that he cannot allow him to sabotage him the way he was used to sabotage his Igbo brothers, go to history for confirmation.

Talking about oil, who told you that south East of Today don’t have oil, check where Anambra have boarder with river state and tell me what is the land, check all swamp in boarder between Igbo’s that cave into Ijaws region and Anambra, Imo and abia and tell me what is there. South East of today don’t need this government to tamper with deposited of in the land because the one they took from Ijaw region they are not doing anything with the money.

Technology is taken over the world no more oil, oil era is out of future, or do you believed information from this visionless government? So wise up and forget the oil. If you believed that north can continue to use you to get what they want good luck, but for others tribe like united Yoruba’s they can’t continue.

Ask Nigerians how far after 40 years they strip every Igbo man his hard earn money and gave him 20ponds to start life, they the Nigerians turn back to shout that Igbo’s have taken over all business in their cities and bought houses. This is to show Nigerians that a man with vision is stronger than one with power, resources and money without direction.

After 60 years of Independent and governing without Igbo’s how far? They the Nigerian even plants useless governors in Igbo land to help deny federal project that can create job to people of south east, yet the south eastern individuals are envy of other Nigerians in their exodus states engineer by federal government.

The north tell Ikwere man to deny his Igbo identify and also his fellow Igbo man and go after property they bought from Igwe-ocha people their brother in old Eastern state commercial city as engineer by Ken Saro Wiwa, but the world will see an Ikwere and others Igbo tribe in south south as capital fool if they are allow them self to be deceived second time to deny that they are not Igbo’s, if I may ask what is your indentify if not Igbo. Check if there’s anything as Ikwere, Ukwu-ani, Okpanam, Onitsha Ugbo, Asaba as tribe in Nigerian history, your Igbo as far Nigerian tribe is concerns. As I said I doff off my cap for the Yoruba’s that want to unity with their brother because the north can’t use them against their brothers.

Nigerian government may refuse to teach history in school, but there're many educated men that was born before Nigerian independent and they keep documented history for their children’s.

Point of correction,Rivers State has no connection or boundary with Anambra,and Anambra does not have oil in commercial quantity.
Moreover,your post made no sense.

Amaka!!!

They want to start Igbo Amaka again! Is not everything you say Igbo Amaka

Ooduduwa republic is futuristic for now,same with Biafra Republic.
The only solution to the domination of the futa jallon fugitives is the coming together of the two biggest ethnic groups in West Africa,i.e,the Yorubas and Igbos,and the uniting with we the Niger Deltans..We need a United South!

The 2 million Fulanis can't defeat the South when we are United both politically and physically because we have the population and manpower. Fulanis know this and have decided to divide us,they have succeeded in the sense that even an Isoko man would want to tell anyone who cares to hear that he and the Urhobo man has nothing in common.

If only the Yorubas and Igbos can drop derogatory names like "afonja","skull miner","omo Igbo",e.t.c,and embrace the fact that they both share similiarities, we would have a United South and triumph over the futa jallon fugitives!

Ijawwomaninoyo:
You should be ashamed of your parents instead, they failed you not me! I am not related to any miscreant.
You should have uploaded your bank details before talking of poverty or Chioma's bank details before Davido.
If you are a Secretary but your boss brings in a typist to do his work, just know he is throwing it at your face that you are irrelevant. Period!

Poverty Outburst..You must be one of the parasites living in Ibadan.

Kennyswag:
they need portharcout seaport

They denied us before and after the war even when our leaders and traditional rulers saw them as our kits and kins,now they want to drag us to join them...If they need seaport,they should talk with their brothers in Oyigbo LGA,those ones are Igbos and have access to sea not we.

Hedonisco:
It is unfortunate my brother. The earlier these two along with the rest of the South unites, the better for all of us.

I can't see the nonsense Biafra or Oduduwa Republic ever materialising, but a Republic of Southern Nigeria (or at least a confederate Nigeria) is very feasible with unity. The entire South have the same way of life forget. Any Yoruba or Calabar man would easily blend in in Enugu or Awka, just how an Igbo or Bini guy can easily live in Ibadan or Uyo without worries.
Same churches, beer parlours, liberal freedoms, etc anywhere across the South)

Conversely, try to live in Katsina or Kano and see how it feels. It's just sad.

Any government of Southern Nigeria wouldn't be skewed in any ethnic group's favour per se, because everyone is enlightened and governed by similar principles. The rule of law would reign supreme and ojoro will cancel. Its not like the current situation where Fulani people would just run roughshod with their primitive way of life.

These Fulani/Futa Jallon characters are the only threat. Imagine animals that still sentence someone to death for 'blasphemy', in 2020? Parading cows all over the place in the name of herding, breeding terrorism and banditry of epidemic proportions. These people are not compatible with Southern Nigeria, anyhow you look at it. It is sickening. They are sickening.

I desperately hope the South can put aside petty rivalries and come together to rid themselves of this Fulani menace.

Well said!!!!

Hedonisco:
I've said it numerous times, that the South has to band together. Has to unite in order to successfully fight this existential threat. All this kurukere kobo kobo sense wouldn't lead anyway.. Biafra this, Oduduwa that. It is absolute rubbish. We have a monster (Fulani) confronting us and yet we're treating it with kid gloves. By the time we know what it really happening, it will be too late.

Leave them,the Yorubas and Igbos who are the biggest tribe in the South and who are the most populated have proven to be the biggest enemies in Nigeria,so what do you expect..They don't know that the future of the South lies in their unity..My tribe has been perched at 2 million people,and as such can't change anything against the futa jallon fugitives..Only the Yorubas and Igbos have the manpower to challenge them but they chose to be enemies,despite having the best of technocrats in all fields of these life..I read an article last week,only to find out that Yoruba and Igbo are among the fastest growing languages in the United States,I also discovered that these two languages are taught in US universities,what an international feat!!...yet both of them feel they are better than each other and sees the other as a threat..What a painful situation!

Juliusmalema:
It supposed to have stopped in Asaba, crossing R.niger to capture just area looks awkward.

It sounds weird bro but according to history and culture,Onitsha and Asaba are one people divided by R.Niger,so joining them together was the best!

emperorshaokahn:
afonja

Idiotic IPOB,always trying to label someone what he is not because he didn't talk in his favour..Come to Port Harcourt or Obio Akpor and tell them to join the South East,and you would see what would happen to you.

obama30:
Sorry for Ikwere people that distance them self from being Igbo and still speak Igbo language. If I may ask who manuover their brains.

This is how a tribe behave not to distance your brother because you want to please a northerner.

If Ikwere people say they are not Igbo's, then who are they? We knew they are not Ijaws, neither they are Efik, Ibibion or karagbali.

This is are people who should have be claim to be northerners because they are already in north central by state, also if they claim to be north, the fulanis may give them appointment as their co-northern brother and use them against other Yoruba at West as they used and dump Ken sarowiwa.

But here they refuse to be use as they are using Ikwere people to sabotage their Igbo brothers. Instead they demand to join their other Yoruba to form strong unity.

Their request will be granted because the purpose they were add to North Central didn't work out for nigeria northern planners.

I wish Ikwere people will open their eyes one day to see that the north intentionally plan their quarell with their brothers.

I respect my Yoruba's brothers as their eyes open.

What a hillarious post!!!

You need to understand the concept of ethnic politics before writing like a dementia patient.

During the 60's and 70's, Igbo speaking ethnic groups located in the Niger Delta were keen on still remaining with the Igbos of the hinterland(Isuama),even after the war,the likes of Obi Wali wanted Ikwerre to be part of the proposed Imo state,but the Igbos of the hinterland who are known to be very proud didn't take him serious,same with Delta Igbos,and now that we are the goose that lays the golden egg you want us to say we are Igbo and join the South East..You must be funny!..We are okay where we are,because we know your agendas,it's better we continue developing Port Harcourt and Ali Ikwerre in general than join South East to be used and dumped later..After all even in Iboland,there are fake and real Igbos,and we don't want to be part of such quagmire..We are Ikwerres...Proudly Iwuruonha

Wonderful Move!!!
Yorubas should take up this golden opportunity to stop the divide and rule tatics of the north. Don't be like the Igbos that did not take Delta Igbos serious when they proposed an Anioma state comprising Igbo speaking parts of Delta down to Onitsha in Anambra,and now cry of having only 5 states.

You must be one of those haters that said ibom air is a scam. But today you are hiding in shame to fly it. I see jokers like you every day at the airport. Shameless individual with no truth in you.

I continue to say Ibom air is scam!!!!!...I give Ibom Air six months to go into extinction, because if not for flying it to other routes,the average Akwa Ibom man can't afford a flight ticket!

Men with balls..the true identity of AkwaCross,they are not as foolish as Akwa Ibomites.

There is nothing happening in that state..All you see are propaganda by Udom's online soldiers who are bent on making sure the average Ibibio man continues to suffer while non-Akwa Ibomites think the state is in a good position.
