though I don't pray for it but you people should not think that other tribe in the region will not get involve, what the ijaw are suffering now they too are also suffering it and them not making noise and taking up arm is not because they are scared but because majority of them still believe in peaceful negotiations with the nigeria state but for how long. They are all patiently watching and waiting for the response and action of the nigeria state come 2015. If you people think that the like of asari and co will be the champion if things get worse between the nigeria state and niger delta state, then you people need to go back again and research. There are people and will be people who are more intelligent, calculative and sometime more cold blooded who will be more than ready to go to any length to protect the interest of the niger deltan which is equality fairness and justice. The average niger deltan are not looking for anything more than that. Yes today it is the ijaw that are making all the noise (dem sabi make noise do gragra join am) but note the rest are watching no matter the difference between them. yes there maybe division but believe me unity is slowly forming back because they are now wiser but unfortunately some have become over wise. Yes Gej may not be the best thing that happened to nigeria after the long existence of Agege bread but if he must be voted out, it should be based on the performance of his duty not because he is from the other side of river niger that is what an average niger deltan want. 1 Like |

kettykin: The igbos fought a blind and unplanned war of secession against Soviet Union, British Empire and Arab world back Nigerian Army and yet inflicted a serious set back on the Nigerian army that gives them Night mare when ever they hear of Biafra.They do that in Lagos , you declare war on the SW. |

onomeasike: 1) The Ijaws are minorities and they still have an exaggerated impression of their real population and geographical boundaries. (refer to their battles with original landowners in benin, warri, ilajeland etc and controversy over who is a real Ijaw for example people from where the president hail from are not historically regarded as Ijaws unlike Asari Dokubo who is from the real ijaw clans) Anybody expecting an artillery lined up side by side between Ijaws and the Nigerian army will be living in the 1940-50s. Any war between Nigeria and the Ijaw, will quickly spread across the whole SS zone. There is no way on earth Nigeria can win. Your air force will be useless, your navy cannot access 99% of the swampland landscape, your army of Yoruba/hausas will only be offered to Egbesu as items of thanks. Simply because of a terrain they cannot understand. Unlike the Ibos the SS will be well supplied with all kids of modern arms, the Ukraine, Chinese and Russian arms dealers will not have any problem getting paid. How is Nigeria going to finance this war? You think Shell, Chevron and Exxon will be operating when they are targeted with hit and run operations. Just look to Vietnam, Iraq and even Libya,you will understand why your Nigerian army has zero chance. You people, should seek a peaceful division of this country, Nigeria CANNOT win a war in the Nigerdelta. |

POPE II: I don't get something, what will b the aim of the war ? Secession? War is simply politics continued in the battle field, if you understood Obasanjo's Motive for the inciting letter he wrote and published then you would understand what could trigger the Militants to action . Issues ranging from an attempted coup to out rightly undemocratic subversion of the Government like APC is tying to influence to needless impeachment and gang up by legislators against the Jonathan Administration. i still think Nigerians learn no lesson from the first civil war just like the world learn nothing from the first world war. |

kettykin:I know what a war is at least the definition. My question was for the fellow who said that the NA won't line up any artillery. If the aim of the,Ijaw war is secession he's wrong the NA will do everything to bring them back like they did with Biafra. The president swore to protect the,integrity of this country . If their war is about resource control then this is another ball game So again what is the aim of the Ijaw war ? |
Re: Before The Ijaws Go To War With Nigeria. (a Must Read) by kettykin: 7:16pm On Dec 14, 2013 |
POPE II: If Nigerian Army could not defend Bakassi what makes you think Nigeria Army would defend any side that does it home work before secession, i hope you know that Nigeria needs money to buy weapons and if oil does not flow how will they get money to buy weapon, my understanding is that some folks think every war is like the Biafran war were secession was declared hurriedly with very little preparation and support from the outside world . If for some reasons America and france backed Biafra that war would have ended quickly and differently. The Niger Deltans even if they want to secede would not declare secession without grounding the Economy of Nigeria with massive coordinated attacks on economic infrastructures in country crippling Nigeria in the process till Nigeria is very weak economically and their is wide spread chaos with soldiers and other armed personnel not getting paid and mutinying |

POPE II: This simple answer is both, resource control and secession. |

barcanista: Mr Man, with due respect Asari and his exMilitants ilks are on their own, they don't have the authority of the masses. I can't believe I still have an Ijaw brother with this mindset. I just followed you. Please follow me back. |

maybe the Op has never heard of guerilla warfare, why do u think they americans where unable to win the vietnam war and afghanistan ?, its cos the vietnamese where fighting in their own territory where the knew every nook and cranny, Same will apply to ijaw land, no nigerian army man or navy man, knows the creeks better than ijaws, they nigerian army will drop a few bombs and destroy a few houses, but when the attempt a land invasion the will be defeated |

You better dont let igbos decieve you people into a senseless war cos i bet you that they will fold their hands and watch just like you guys did even abandoning them during the biafra war, forget about the cunning talks of SS/SE Merger talk from them- they just want your oyel. Yes, militants will go about bombing federal properties but what do you think nig army would be doing? Sleeping? They'll ensure they wipe out every ijaw citizen, young and old.

ebamma: maybe the Op has never heard of guerilla warfare, why do u think they americans where unable to win the vietnam war and afghanistan ?,Bros Point of correction, America is not in same continent with vietnam neither do they have pre-knowledge of the Vietnamese geographical expression. The Fight in Afghanistan is NOT America Vs Afghanistan, But America Vs Taliban(that is why guerilla is working for them), but trust me no Taliban has thrown any BOMB or a gun shot in American soil. They only attack US facilities and their own people in dia Soil. If na FULL scale War, Talibans and the whole Afghanistans no go last reach 24hrs. As for NA Vs Ijaw, Oboy E NO GO HAPPEN. Wetin go make us fyt Naija? Jonathan cannot even set his Otuoke against NA. Them no go look him face. Say for which reason na? As for Asari, he's overrated. Just getting media hype. He's a criminal who doesn't have following in his Kalabari Kingdom except his fellow criminals. As for Clark, na political elder statesman. REAL Ijaw statesmen head CANOE houses PS:I notice that its the Igbos that are spoiling for war on IJAW behalf. Pls if Biafra wants war state it, but be rest assured that secession is the LAST thing in the mind of the Ijaws- We Want Resource Control and Improved Living Condition 2 Likes |

POPE II:Point of Correction, I do not hate the Igbo tribe nor the Igbos. I've never wished the Igbos negative in their struggle despite the fact that I make it plain that the Igbo struggle is not one and the same with the Ijaw struggle. Pls prove me wrong if you think otherwise. As for where the Igbos advocates for War on Ijaw behalf, please read the thread from page 0 and you will figure that out yourself. |
