The Niger delta wants peace and development of this country Nigeria. But people should not forget history, the Niger deltans went through hell in the hands of the Biafran soldiers during the war.

Our people were tagged saboteurs by the Ojukwu led Biafra soldiers and this led to the killings, massacre of Niger deltans especially in Rivers and Calabar. The Ikwerres, Ijaw, Ibibios and other Niger delta tribes were massacred by the Biafra soldiers.

We want to state it clear that the Niger deltans which is the Braced Union (Bayelsa,Rivers,Akwa Ibom, Cross Rivers, Edo, Delta were never saboteurs but rather we fought for our people, our unique identity, our sovereignty.

The Niger delta struggle continues, we are happy that we have our own region and states unlike in the era of the Igbo dominated Eastern region government which the Niger delta people were totally marginalized by the Igbo which is one of the reason why our people rejected Biafra as it was seen as a means of Igbo marginalization and colonization of the Niger delta tribes.

The Niger delta demands apologies from our Igbo neighbors, they must acknowledge their heartless actions against the Niger delta people who were rapped and murdered by Biafran soldiers during the war.

@GovWike Has Played More Role In Uniting And Defending The Niger Delta People Than Any Politician In History Of Our Region. The Records Are There, He Is Indeed A Proud Niger Deltan And A True Defender Of His People.

November1857:
Op which Niger Delta are you talking about Last time I checked, Abia , Imo and ondo state are part of Niger Delta, which regions (SW/SE) are clamouring for Biafra and Oduduwa republic respectively...

Niger delta is totally different from NDDC.

We are talking about the Braced Union.

B - Bayelsa
R - Rivers
A - Akwa Ibom
C - Cross Rivers
E - Edo
D - Delta

Do not forget that the Niger Delta republic declaration on Feb 23rd 1966 by Isaac Adaka Boro predates the Biafra and Oduduwa republic agitation.

Niger Delta is committed to the unity and development of Nigeria. We must all work together to make Nigeria the true giant of Africa. We want a peaceful and secured Nigeria free of corruption, religious and ethnic bigots.
