Let us make it 1 million.even at 700k,they are still number 1 in ss

Ijaws are certainly not the number one in SS.
Even Bayelsa which was carved out for them, they still share it with other tribes. For example, the Ogbia people are not Ijaws. Just google about the Ogbia language and see for yourself. Google also about the Epie-Atissa people of Yenagoa.
From my calculation, only the Ibibo-Efik-Annang combination can rival the Igbo population of the SS. If you remove Annang, Igbo is clearly the largest.
The Edoid on paper should be the largest but it's impossible to unite the Edoid together as a unit. The language intelligibility is not there and can't be bridged.

How so sir? Apart from rivers and delta,where else

There are indigenous Igbos in all the 6 SS states.
1. Akwa Ibom.... we have the Ndoki group there.
2. Bayelsa..... we have the Ukwuani and Ekpeye groups there.
3. Cross River.... we have the Isobo and Ikwo groups there.
4. Delta.... we have the Ika, Ukwuani, [Aniocha and Oshimili] Enuani groups there.
5. Edo.... we have the Ika group there.
6. Rivers.... we have the Ndoni, Egbema, Ogba, Ekpeye, Ikwerre, Etche, Asa, Ndoki etc.

Indigenous Igbos in the South South are huge.

Andoni,opobo,bonny,degema,okrika,ogubolo,akuku toru,asari toru,abolga,parts of pH,parts of ahoada,parts of onelga

Andoni, Abolga, Onelga and PHlga has non single Ijaw or Ijoid community. Name just one single Ijaw community in any of these LGAs let's check them out either on Youtube or books online.
Degema, Okrika, Opobo, Bonny, Ogu/Bolo are shared between Ijaw and others mostly Igbo except in Degema where you find the Edoid people of Udekama and Usokun. Ahoada West is shared between Igboid(Ekpeye), Edoid(Engenni) and Ijoid(Ogbogolo).
Only Asari Toru and Akuku Toru (these are the main Kalabari LGAs) are nearly entirely Ijoid and even there, there is one or two mixed communities with indigenous Igbos.
Ijaw/Ijoid population in Rivers state isn't that much. At most, I'll give them 700,000 at most.

For the unteempth time, I have to call out to the indigenous Northern Leaders to awaken to the problems in the North. ..... To awaken to the shame of their ancestors; and to correct the mistakes of their forefathers.

The North is your ancestral home, but you are not alive to the crises in your ancestral home. You are still being used by the enemies of Nigeria - the Fulani , led by their Sultan.
Please stop being used by the enemies of Nigeria.

I stand here telling you that all the problems in Nigeria is because the "Fulani want to make Nigeria their home". They are foreigners in Nigeria, and they know it.

This is the ultimate Truth. The fulani has a century old quest to make Nigeria their home, their estate, and control its affairs. I have my sources. Please do not be used by them.

All the herdsmen killings, land grabbing, banditry, installation of Emirs, etc, .. is aimed at making Nigeria the Fulani homeland. And sadly, the Hausa people are the tools used by Fulani in this quest.

Why, because the Hausa were brainwashed to see the South as enemy. Hausa and other northerners were brainwashed to see Nigerian politics as a domination contest between North and South. But in reality, the South is not your enemy. The South has not stolen your lands or killed your kings. The Soyth has no domination interest. The South only wants a prosperous nation.

While northerners focus on domination of South, the Fulani silently continue to expand, and strengthen their hold, whilst fooling the indigenous northerners who are facing the South. They use Islam preachers to brainwash them.

Know this: when the North fights the South,, the Fulani are the winner. Yes, you win for Fulani. Because they have conquered you, you now conquer the South for them. Pls, wake up. Don't be used. Leave the South and face your enemies who have ravaged your lands for centuries.

Northern leaders must now:
A) Scrap the emirate system which is alien to the North. There were no Emirates before Fulani came to the north.
B) Reinstate the indigenous Sarkin kings of the North.
C) Stop wearing the Turban. It is fulani cultural signature. There was no turnan before fulani came. I tell you by my sources.

Northern leaders must look inwards and solve their problems. Free yourself from mental slavery. Stand up and tell the fulani: Enough is enough. We know your games.

You're very much right. Unfortunately, religion has been used to blind them. However, the fulanis will fail in that quest. Many are studying them and know about their strategies.

How Protesters Set Guest House Ablaze In Imo – As Owner’s Son, Soldiers Tortured Innocent Youth To Death
https://247ureports.com/2024/04/how-protesters-set-guest-house-ablaze-in-imo-as-owners-son-soldiers-tortured-innocent-youth-to-death/

Tension gripped Umulogho community in Obowo Local Government Area as enraged youths took to the streets, setting fire to a section of a hotel following the reported death of a youth named Ebuka Nwaneri.

The incident, which unfolded over the weekend, stemmed from allegations that Nwaneri stole a mobile phone belonging to a military personnel.

According to accounts from community source, the hotel’s proprietor’s son, Ibe Obasi, and the phone owner, a military personnel, confronted Nwaneri after the disappearance of the device.

It was revealed that Ebuka was subjected to harsh interrogation, resulting in his confinement in a generator house on the premises in an attempt to extract a confession.

Justice for Ebuka Nwaneri's family. A human life is worth more than a mobile phone. Don't ask the family and community to forgive and move on. You refused to move on in Okuama so don't expect others to move on. Failure by the authorities to investigate this case and serve justice to his killers, you would be justifying communities taking justice into their hands.

Journey of an African Colony is a documentary that takes us through a timeline of how Nigeria was formed. From the colonial masters to the founding fathers, truths will be told, myths will be debunked and tables will be broken. Watch the video here - https://iyobaland.com/video/play/MTk1NQ

Truly, Nigeria remains a colony of the British.
That picture of King Charles sitting with the various kings of different ethnic groups in a cascading arrangement proved it. The actions of the Nigerian police and army confirms it. The actions of the Nigerian politicians towards their children's education and their own medical needs reinforces it.
What is left for the colonised people of Nigeria? Nothing except suffering, penury, injustice, extortion, rape, torture and death by the various arms of the Nigerian government.
How many people have been slaughtered in their ancestral lands without by both non-state and state actors and nothing is done about it?
How many people are left to rot in IDP camps- victims of well known terrorists whose pictures and videos are all online?
How many people are extorted, oppressed and tortured by the Nigerian police and army on flimsy reasons?
How many innocent people are languishing in jails on purported allegations under the name 'awaiting trial'?
How many injured persons perish right infront of hospitals because they were denied treatment due to the policy of getting a police report before treatment?
How many are gnashing their teeth because the courts have circumvented justice after money changed hands or due to ethnic sentiments?
Why do Nigerian politicians have to visit the UK or US before any general elections is held? Which other African countries have their politicians doing so?

Clearly, Nigeria isn't independent. Nigeria remains a colony till date. There's no difference in the modus operandi of the Nigerian Army from that of the colonial government known as the West African Frontier Force, WAFF. Both are notorious for burning down communities in Southern Nigeria. When the British left, they handed over to the fulanis who have continued the colonization today. They've infiltrated the Nigerian Army and are now using it to destroy communities who resist terrorist fulani herdsmen. This is the reason why the killings by those herdsmen is left unchallenged by the Nigerian Army.
Nigeria still remains a colony of the British sadly.

Zooposki:
To be honest the whole of Lagos is a slum.

If the whole of Lagos is a slum, then almost all of Nigeria is slum too. Don't allow sentiments determine your opinion on an issue. Although Lagos is a subpar city, it is still a city. Almost all cities of the world have a portion considered a slum or ghetto.

Zooposki:
Lagos state. South West pride. Lol

It is disingenuous to call the entire Lagos state a slum. They should have written 'in the slum suburb of Lagos, a city of over 25million'. The writer got it wrong on this one.

Wait o. Which slum in Nigeria has over 25million in population?

benuejosh:
I have never supported any criminality coming from any region and in any form. We must always say the truth as it is. Because you hate someone and speak ill of that person doesn't mean i must hate and speak ill of the same person too. Not every herdsman is Fulani and not every kidnapper is Igbo neither is every 419 person Yoruba. We should pick out those who perpetrate a crime and crucify them for that. I say what i see and perceive to be the truth.

You didn't say anything in this thread. If you claim to be saying the truth and always been fair, then you should maintain this same response irrespective of the region any similar attack happens. That way it can be said your responses have been the same across board. However, we all know that it isn't possible.
Anyway, continue because your sins will find you out soon.

benuejosh:
Typical of an IPOB terrorist behaviour.

In other words, the same treatment meant for the IPOB terrorist organisation as proscribed by the FGN should be given to anyone behaving in such manner.

Infiltration of the Northern region by external elements is changing the good narrative of those guys in that region. A typical Nigerian Northerner was known for good behaviour and trustworthiness untill the bad elements of IPOB, Boko Haram, and those Mali and Niger guys who pose as Fulanis started their giving that region a bad name. The things we witnessed only in the East are beginning to manifest in the North. The government must take decisive actions to end and flush away the bad elements in the Northern region.

Is this all you have to say? I hope you will respond exactly like this in other threads that have to deal with those you love to hate.

Zurich808:
Sunday Ogochukwu Oliseh have corrected himself in recent interview he said he his an Igbo man
I guess he denied been Igbo then because of Super Eagle's Job

Do you have a link to this new interview?

When we say Nigeria has no future, this is one of the reasons. Blowing hundreds of billions on a non-productive pilgrimage while most government schools are a bit better than a pigsty.

The first thread about the invasion and slaughter of Agatu people of Agojeju odo in Kogi didn't elicit much comments so I don't expect this one to be any different. This has proven that Nigerians have accepted to be slaughtered by fulani terrorists without consequence. No dust has been raised by the State HOA members, nothing from the Senator of Kogi East Senatorial zone and even the governor of the state. No arrest has been made and the terrorist Nigerian Army has been quiet. It appears Nigerians were created by God to be slaughtered at the beck and call of the Fulanis who are actually foreigner to the Nigerian geographical area.
What a big shame! Tufiakwa!
It sucks to be a Nigerian.

It was Odi, Bayelsa before.
It was Zaki Biam, Benue before.
It was Obigbo, Rivers before.
It was Izombe, Imo last year.
It is Okuama, Delta today.
It will be .........., ....... tomorrow.
As long as you support the modus operandi of the West African Frontier Force aka Nigerian Army in southern Nigerian communities, don't come and complain to us tomorrow when they come for your community.

This is why everybody should support the division of Nigeria. It will save a lot more lives and reduce the enormous tension.

The terrorist Nigerian army will never say or do anything to the Fulani terrorists. Everyone will be asked to move on while farmers continue to cry in their own ancestral lands and villagers gathered in IDP camps. No single fulani killers will be arrested and prosecuted. This is what 'One Nigeria' means.
Tufiakwa Nigeria! It sucks to be a Nigerian.

blacknp:
Stop exhibiting your ignorance, Tinubu purported drug case happened in 1993, he was long retired as the treasury of Mobil, and was already a Senator.

He was accused of using his investment firm for money laundering, not trafficking narcotics.

Folorunsho Alakija was not an ordinary tailor, she had the most exquisite fashion shop on high brow Awolowo Road Ikoyi in the 1980’s were only the rich and famous could shop, that is how she became a friend to the wife of the President Gbadamosi Babaginda.

Continue to defend the criminals from Yorubaland while attacking genuine Igbo businessmen. You will get the appropriate responds soon. This I can assure you.

Putindbutt:
Tinubu was earning salaries, bonuses, allowances in dollars. A man that had worked in Deloitte, Mobil, is not your average joe.
Alakija and Emeka Offor,Authur Eze are in the same category, they all got oil blocks from the military government.

😁 😁 Chai, Tinubu's salary, bonuses, allowances gave him even the money($460,000) he forfeited to the US government. How evil can you Yorubas be to defend glaring crooks from your region but continue to poke fingers towards others who are sweating it legitimately to make money. It is this same mindset that has led to the attacks on Igbo properties in Lagos after Bola Tinubu grabbed, stole and ran away with a mandate that isn't his. We are keeping records of all the arson and destruction of our people's properties and you guys will answer for it soon.
Two agbadorians near my hood ran their mouth just as your doing and got themselves in the bullseye. Already, peace have left them and they know it. They'll have a taste of the pudding and will know better if they survive it.
Finally, I'm happy you guys have brought out your full fangs for all to see. Other ethnic groups are taking note so that when we bare our own fangs, they'll understand the necessity for it. You guys won't escape it. After the dust die down, yoù would have learnt a thing or two about showing respect to Ndigbo.

Putindbutt:
Tinubu was a staff of ExxonMobil, you already know. he singlehandedly financed NADECO, you know what that means. However, this thread is about Onyema. 100k on the table.

So, an ExxonMobil Staff whose salary can easily be calculated can easily finance a political movement to challenge a government? Tinubu's drug case in the US already tells us where his first illegal wealth emanated.
Just like your sister Folorunsho Alakija who was a tailor until she was gifted an oil block and today, she's the richest African woman. We didn't hear any complain from people like you. If she was Igbo or from other ethnic groups in the SS, you would have written long epistles about her.
May you and those sponsoring you choke on your hate.

Putindbutt:
Checked all his profile, he has never owned any business prior to Air peace. He has never had any known business or worked legitimately with any firm that could explain his source of wealth.
From nowhere, Air peace came to existence in 2013, little did we know that the airline was established with proceeds of corruption during the administration of Goodluck Jonathan. The airline was established with speed express without any hassle from the authorities. The man behind the scene making every moves possible was the one and only Kingsley Kuku, the ex-SA and Chairman of Presidential Amnesty Programe, 2011. He was one of the few most powerful men in the government of GEJ, a very close pal of Patience Jonathan and President Goodluck Jonathan but he likes keeping a low profile. Kingsley Kuku appointed his colleague and confidant, Allen Onyema as his consultant for the Presidential Amnesty Programe. PAP handled multibillion contracts yearly on behalf of ND youths. 3 years after, there was an Airpeace.

Agbado Sherlock Holmes overfed on rotten amala and sour igbegiri soup. Ever since Allen Onyema used the Isiagu attire as a brand for his company, many of you have been suffering from epilepsy. Your hate filled hearts are overheating compounding global warming.
Tufiakwa! Even satan dey learn work where una dey.

Putindbutt:
Guy, 100k is on the table. Tell me what business Onyema was into before his appointment as consultant to Kingsley Kuku on presidential amnesty programe. Airpeace was established with niger delta money.

Tell us what business Tinubu was into before he became Lagos state governor.

banku:
Only a dying man knows the pinch of death. We may have been too hard on those who belong to the lowest level of the caste system who have nothing to lose.

It takes much more for them to succeed in their environment. Yet, many struggle and succeed.

Anger should be directed at those looking to spend a fortune to japa. Especially those in well paying or relatively better positions like those spoiled brats.

Does Nigeria have a caste system?

How quickly the late COAS, Rtd.Lt.Gen Victor Malu was forgotten. There's no better example of the law of Kamar in our generation than the experience of the distinguished but conscienceless ex. military chief who gave the order for the destruction of a community called Odi. 25years later, Okuama in Delta state faced a similar situation. Nothing was learnt from that experience.
Here's an article from The Cable NG. on the late ex-Chief Of Army Staff who sanctioned that massacre.

*************
Nine years before he bade goodbye to the world, Victor Samuel Leonard Malu, a general of generals, went into a coma and was taken to Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) where he was placed on life support. He was later transferred to a hospital in London. After treatment for stroke, he was discharged from hospital and went to his home in Central London.

But when the grim reaper came knocking in faraway Cairo on October 9, 2017, Malu couldn’t be discharged from the hospital, for he took his last breath.

Not many have the guts that nature gifted Malu, who was known for being blunt, frank and fearless. He served his fatherland with uncommon commitment even in retirement.

A former commander, ECOWAS Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) under Sani Abacha, late military head of state, Malu retired after 34 years of meritorious service in the military. He held several positions — the highest being his appointment as chief of army staff between 1999 and 2001.

Born on January 15, 1947, at Katsina-Ala, Benue state, he enrolled in the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna in 1967 as part of the 3rd regular course and was commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant enlisted upon graduation in 1970.

RIFT WITH OBASANJO AND US

Malu said as chief of army staff, he observed that the Americans kept seeking ways to soil Nigeria’s image in the international arena. He believed his resistance to this plot led to his untimely retirement. A report on the national intelligence council of the United States had predicted that Nigeria might break up because of the insistence of the nation’s leaders on a union, against the people’s wish.
It also warned about the possibility of a coup by junior military officers.
However, former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the senate dismissed the report as an unfair representation of the situation in the country.
“The US does not mean well for us and for anybody. They want things in their interest and that is how they protect their interest,” he had said.

“National security is above any individual. After many years in the army, I am in a position to analyse a threat to a nation and convey it to those who should know. But, when you don’t allow me to do that, that means you are not accepting that I am a Nigerian. And that was exactly what my president didn’t want.

“My retirement from the army was on the basis of that, because Americans told him (Obasanjo) that as long as Gen. Malu remained the chief of army staff, they would not be with him.

“So, he had to get rid of me and in the process, he had to sacrifice the other two service chiefs. They didn’t do anything. I did something because I stood on my principle.”

REGRETTED NOT OVERTHROWING OBASANJO

Following a public disagreement over the training of the Nigerian army for peacekeeping by US forces, Obasanjo sacked Malu in 2001.

“Americans did not come here to train us for peace-keeping. They came to get information on a country that, in spite of all the sanctions on it, could still achieve what we achieved in Sierra Leone,” Malu had said.
“Fortunately, I was the one there. So, I talk from a very knowledgeable point of view. I didn’t want to put government on the spot. Maybe because I was too loyal to Obasanjo, I would have done what I was supposed to do, but I believe in democracy, so I did not organise to overthrow him.
“I think it was a blessing that I was kicked out, otherwise I might have changed my mind from being a democrat to something else.”

“The Americans made it impossible for the president to find favour with them if I was still in office. Peacekeeping is not nuclear, chemical or biological warfare. That’s the job for infantry man who walks on his feet, carrying his ammunition, rifles, you maneuver to get to the point using fire. That is what Americans don’t do,” he had said.

“If you remember the five years of Abacha, we had completely severed from any other western country. All our officers who were in the various institutions abroad were sent back. We were not going on course America was curious to know how from a third world country with all the sanctions, the Nigerian Army could achieve the feat we achieved in Liberia.

“And then, they came and found a willing person in the name of Obasanjo. They got everything they wanted. It was at that point I told him (Obasanjo), ‘Sir, we cannot have Americans come here to tell us they want to train us on peacekeeping’. An interesting thing happened in Sokoto.

“The Americans insisted on staying in the barracks with our soldiers. I said over my dead body.”

HEADED PANEL THAT SENTENCED DIYA TO DEATH

In 1997, Oladipo Diya, de facto vice-president to Abacha, and dissident soldiers in the military allegedly planned to overthrow the regime of Abacha. The alleged coup was uncovered by forces loyal to Abacha, and Diya and his cohorts were jailed. Diya was tried in a military tribunal presided over by Malu and was given the death penalty.

ODI INVASION

One of the darkest chapters in the abuse of human rights in Nigeria is the Odi massacre. Malu was the head of the army when this sad event occurred. The attack was carried out on November 20, 1999 in the sleepy town in Bayelsa state.

Twelve police officers were murdered by a gang near Odi on November 4. The military decided to invade the village but were reportedly ambushed by militants. They reinforced and by the time the carnage was over, every building in the town except the bank, the Anglican church and the health center, was burnt to the ground. The Environmental Rights Action put the death toll at nearly 2500 civilians.

NEMESIS? MALU’S UNCLE AND WIFE KILLED IN ONE NIGHT

Two years later, 19 soldiers sent to restore peace following an ethnic crisis in Zaki-Biam, a community in Malu’s state of Benue, were killed and abducted. While on a revenge mission, the entire area was cordoned off by soldiers, with armoured tanks that were given air cover by helicopter gunboats.

This happened six months into Malu’s retirement. At the end of that military action, at least 300 persons, including Malu’s relations had been killed. Pev Adoor, his blind octogenarian uncle and his wife, lost their lives. His houses were burnt.

Two days after the attack, Malu granted an interview to New York Times.
“There is no other organisation in the country that could have done this. ‘Only the army has the tanks, the armoured vehicles and the arms to do this. I cannot believe it was spontaneous. It must have been very carefully planned. How can you kill innocent civilians, farmers carrying yam on their heads? Can you mistake a yam tuber for a missile?” he asked.

Malu has put behind all the stories and worries. He is now in a place beyond the reach of mortals. He was one of the finest military officers: a soldier of soldiers.

It will get to everybody until the majority come to the realization that they really didn't have any country. The laws are applied differently depending on the part of the contraption you come from.
The Nigerian army is exactly the same as the West African Frontier Force that the British used in subduing our respective ethnic kingdoms and political systems. They kill people with reckless abandon and burn down houses. They declare you guilty, abuse and torture you before listening to your story if you're lucky to survive the torture.
All ethnic groups in Nigeria will at one point taste the demonic modus operandi of the West African Frontier Force except the Fulanis who we all know aren't indigenous to Nigeria. As you keep support the brazen destruction of the Nigerian army of villagers because of the action of a few, it will surely come to your community one day.
COAS Lieutenant General Victor Malu (a Tiv) ordered the Nigerian army invasion and destruction of Odi under President Obasanjo. All the houses in Odi were burnt down except only three public structures. It was estimated that over 2000 people were killed in cold blood. He saw nothing wrong in it.
Two years later (2001), just six months into his retirement, he had a taste of his own medicine as his community was burnt down by the same Nigerian army he once led. His aged uncle and his wife were murdered while his houses were in the village were also destroyed. This time around, he started lamenting about the killing of innocent people. It only took him being on the receiving end to understand that such brazen destruction of communities is a crime against humanity.
Did the current West African Frontier Force aka Nigerian Army learn anything from this story? The answer is a capital NO. Did the average Nigerian learn anything from Victor Malu's experience. The answer is certainly NO. Did the devilish Nigerian politicians learn anything from Victor Malu? The answer is very obvious.
We all know Ekweremadu's story but of course, the lessons to be learnt from it will be lost to the majority of the people of Nigeria. They only learn when they're actually suffering a similar fate.
As you encourage the blood sucking Nigerian Army in their senseless murder of clearly innocent villagers, it is my prayer that you become their victim some day.

babasolution:
They destroyed the kanuri kingdom of borno but borno later won it back unlike the Hausa's who never came up

Fulanis never destroyed the Kanuri kingdom/empire. I hope you know there's something called the Kanem Borno empire. Though, the Kanuris were forced to retreat initially, they eventually reclaimed what they lost. This is why till date, the fulanis respect the Kanuris more than any other group in the north.

The Fulani terrorists have clearly taken Nigerians for fools to the extent of printing a list in their language for their slaves to run errands for them.
Tufiakwa! It sucks to be a Nigerian.

Biafrans will be their end anyway.

Why the thing pain you?

I see short man Ngige of APC here standing on a pavement elevated above the ground where others were standing.
Did he want to get as tall as Bianca?

Zeebuy:
If I call you a clown and an slowpoke, it'll be an understatement.

I'm sure you're from that tribe who ran Helter skelter when they were attacked by a bunch of Dahomey women🤣🤣🤣

Oya let me school you.

Ojukwu fought a war for the emancipation of his people. what makes this even more amazing is that he wasn't a military man but he was able to organize and train men into soldiers, acquire weapons and ammo, setup logistics and C&C, built airfields and supply lines, did R& ALL DURING WARTIME!
Countries prepare for war during peacetime but this man did it with the federal soldiers at his doorstep, against a standing army, navy and air force who were supported by 8 abi 9 other countries AND he dealt with them, wiping out entire battalions at a time.
The federal army had to resort to preventing access of food and relief materials into the Biafran side as a strategy. Starving women and children is what cowards do. That's what the federal army did because they saw, even with all their might, they couldn't face these people one-on-one 😃. Ojukwu had to give up the fight when he saw this. Without that blockage, these two regions won't be together by now.

Go figure.

As for MNK, the only reason he's still in jail is because he chose not to accept the bribes and terms & conditions given him by the government. Despite all, he still stands for eat he believes in.

Now, these a real men, not some spineless Ola9Ja23 who thinks life starts and ends in picking pockets at idumota

You wrote very well but will have to edit something important. General Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu was a military officer under the Nigerian army who was assigned as the Military Governor of the Eastern region with the rank of a Lt. Col before he became the leader of Biafra and became a General in her army.
