Too many political astroturfers on this forum, please do something better with your time.

HungerBAD:
The writer above me is the most mischievous writer on Nairaland so far.

The last 16 Years have seen those in the South hold sway over everything important In Nigeria, and yet your letter did not come up to 'ADVICE" them, but now that your Cousin has been rightly sent back to the Creek, he came from without Shoes, you have suddenly realized you are the Isaac Adaka Boro of 2015, and wants agitation for what is still not clear from your write up.

So what exactly is your write up about?you call us Slaves from the South, but don't offer any solution on how we can go about De-Slaving ourselves, you say the 1999 Constitution is a Fraud and has turned us to Slaves, but was clever not to add what can be added to it so as to stop us from being Slaves.

And you had to go low, by praising the Ibo's for their agitation for Biafra. In real life, you must be that guy that KISSES everybody's BU-TTOCKS in the office, so as to look good. Really? the ibo's are resilient?determined?really? and you ended the article with the way forward.

What is the way forward? you never mentioned any.

Now my advice to you.

You are small time, and so let us keep it that way. By the time you start writing inflammatory things, with a view to inciting people, simply means you want to go big time. There are consequences for inciting people against the Government.

You should learn where and how to draw the line, between constructive criticism and a call to Anarchy.

Why are you just realizing that the South people are Slaves since 1999?Okay the Clueless one lost, and its time to play the SLAVE CARD, with those from the South. Why? what do you mean to achieve with your write up?

Like a writer below me said.

Your write up is THRASH.

seconded.

d op is high on roadside alcohol,nigerians are wiser,ethnoreligious card is no longer working,i guess he should research a beta means if inciting a few ignorant charlatans(waillers).

Whether some groups like it or not, centralism will soon give way to fiscal federalism.
The major reason why USSR collapsed in late 1980s was not because of lack of good leadership. Heck USSR had some of the worlds's toughest leaders at that time. It was simple because the Communist centralisation of economic activities was totaly inefficient and unsustainable. That period saw many republics opting out of the Union without a single shot fired.
Nigeria's current economic structure is unsustainable and will soon go the way of Russia.

It has to give way to true federalism. It must.

Regional system of Government will encourage competition and IGBO man do not fear competition but why are the yorubas and hausa scared of regional government?
Let the south south control their region.

We've said it over and over. The Northern oligarchy will always oppose it. But the ball doesn't lie in their courts.

I don't love talking about the others.

No be today. Everything was machinated from the beginning to achieve just what is achieving today.

They knew exactly what they were doing when they started the state creation. That's the reason the North with over 250 ethnic group always speak with one voice. While SE/SS has never spoken with one voice, until recently when both region supported Federalism at the last Confab.

The system is the problem, not the occupier of the system. The system is a hindrance to good governance.

Every region must be allowed to grow at their own pace.

Bro, you take wetin be my own, give me an insulting 13 %, then share the rest to the cost centres that contribute nothing. Will the grandchildren of Dan Fodio accept that?

They won't. Left to them the only problem of Nigeria is leadership. You got that right, they know the truth. They know the system is inefficient and unsustainable. But they will play coy with us because they are benefiting from it.

@Op I think the South South and South East need to have a common language just like the Yorubas and Hausas. The South South aren't united at all, too many different languages and I can bet you even if we come together as one it won't still work because some people will still feel marginalized.

The South Sout leaders need to come together and make decisions that will favour everyone .

TRASH! your diabolic backward Edo state have NO drop of crude oil. NB: Crude oil is not prostitution. BUNKOM

Btw Irhuoha means IRU OHA in Igbo which means THE FACE OF THE PUBLIC
So how come a Bini man has an Igbo name? These are all attempts at falsifing Igbo history in an effort to hoodwink the public.

When the time for a referendum comes we will know whether Ikwerre people will opt to join Bini people. The proof of the pudding is in the eating

atbu1983:


Also we the south south also failed when Jonathan was president. When Jonathan was president, was the best time for us to agitate with the loudest voice and noise. but we were myopic. we relaxed and was happy on the short term. forgetting that it is when you have someone sympathetic to your course you made the highest hit. But most of our leaders were myopic and happy with their pocket filled with cash that they 4got the future.

so,whats ur point exactly?

docadams:
It is difficult to be a slave in your own house, environment, or region. If such happens, there must be internal collaborators. Such elements must first be dealt with before emancipating yourself from your assumed slavery.

u are among the few that seems to make a lot of sense.

don't mind them, the guy who posted that trash is from Edo state..

atbu1983:
I am south south. I don't completely agree agree with you for singling out the North alone. As far as I am concern IGBO, YORUBA and HAUSA are all benefitting from the current system. Afterall an IGBO man Gen Agunyi Ironsi created the Unitary System for Nigeria in 1966 that we are complaining against today. When Isaac Adaka Boro wanted to form Ijaw Nation Republic in 1966 it was Igbo Head of State Gen Agunyi Ironsi that fought him with a 12days war. Tell me what is Igbo contribution to Nigeria foreign exchange? Atleast the North contribute Agriculture no matter how small. They contribute more than the Igbo.

The Igbo claim to be one of us because some south south states were part of the old Eastern region. First of all, eastern region was created by Nigeria for Nigeria convenience. It was not a decision of the nationalities that made up the old eastern region. Secondly before most people forget, today edo and delta state were never at anytime part of eastern region. edo and delta were first Western region later became Midwestern region, then change to Bendel state before becoming edo and delta state today. some tribes speak Yoruba in edo and delta state. why is Yoruba not claiming edo and delta state the way Igbo is claiming rivers and delta states because some people speak ibo in those states?



Igbo may have succeeded in brainwashing some south south people that they are one of us, it is big lie. They may have succeeded in brainwashing some of us that only hausa and Yoruba is the problem of south south, it is a big lie. They are the same as far as I am concern.

The problem with Igbo is greed. Qatar is smaller than Bayelsa in Population and half d size of Bayelsa state by landmass. Bayelsa is four times the size of Sigapore. if Qatar and Sigapore can be a country, why cant we have an Ijaw nation as a country? Do u think Ijaw people dont want to be like qatar and enjoy thier oil alone like Qatar does? Note: Bayelsa State is d smallest state in the south south by population and second to the last by landmass!!


Below is the size of south south states and south east states. South South is almost 3times the size of south East.
Yet the population of South east is almost 80% of south south population base on 2006 census. More than 90% of the resources (oil, gas, limestones,etc) are in the south south. The whole of South East is landlock with no direct access to the sea or atlantic ocean. but almost all the south south states have direct assess to the sea and atlantic ocean.

Tell me why South South Nations will want to form a country with south east if they have a choice ? all south east will bring to the table is population and domination? The total oil production from south east is not up to 10% of south south oil production!

If you are the leader of south south nations will you advice them to form a country with south east if they have the option of forming their own country alone? give a sincere answer?

As far as I am concern, as unbranwashed south south , there is no difference between the Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. To me, these are three major tribe struggling and fighting for Supiriority. Whenever any of the three is loosing, he shout Marginalization.

During Jonathan govt, the Igbo was gaining and were in control and was happy. The Yoruba were losing and were shouting Marginalization. The hausa/fulani were not happy because they were not fully in control. For the North we can slightly understand because in the 16years of democracy (May 1999 to May 2015) the south ruled 13.3years while the North had just 2.7years

The Igbo don't love south south more than the hausa or Yoruba love us. All the three tribe are all struggling for the control of south south oil. None of the three is better than the other as far as we south south are concern.

The only place south south nationalities agree with Igbo is Nigeria should divide.

But how it will divide, what we want and what they want is as different as d distance of the earth to d moon.

South south want thier own freedom. we will support Biafra as Igbo only nation while they should support us to form our own nation or nations. But trying to add us as an appendage to Biafra will never happen.

If south south join Biafra, our individual identities will be wiped out in less than 50years. They will convert every south south nationality to Igbo. And they will so much take charge of the oil and resources with reckless abandon without any regard to d minorities.

LET EVERYONE FORMS HIS OWN NATION. SOUTH SOUTH NATIONS DONT WANT IGBO, YORUBA OR HAUSA IN THIER NATION. WE DONT WANT ANY DOMINANT TRIBE TO CONTROL US IF OR WHEN NIGERIA DIVIDE

In summary, my point is if Nigeria will divide peacefully by United Nations referendum, south south will not join Biafra. South South will form its own nation/nations. The only way south south and south east will form a single nation is if Nigeria divide by War because population will be important in size of Army.

My Igbo neighbour may not like this submission, but it is the bitter truth

Guy I have a few question, is South south a tribe?
Is ijaw the only tribe in South south. The last I checked they have Igbos, itsekiri, izon, ibibio, Efik, annang and urohobo. Biafra constituted of seven ethnic groups.
So when you say south south, as a country like it's comprized of one tribe I begin to wonder.

No be small fear North!
While the North and SW have always been the biggest beneficiary of the fake one Nigeria. They have always used divide and rule tactics on both region to ensure SS/SE never unites with their constant shout of they want our oyel. it's high time the people and leaders of SE/SS unites and speak with one voice.

It took more than 4 years to fully understand the scam. Once I did, the trap never caught me any more. The SS/SE must unite. It's a must.

Udmaster:
Edo is NOT an oil producing state. End of story! And you are here making noise about SE.. Imo state have one of the largest natural gas deposit.. If you doubt it, i prove it with fact.. BUNKOM.

your foolishness knows no bounds. Edo oil contributes 25% of Nigeria's oil. Continue exhibiting your foolishness here.

Udmaster:
the way you were talking about crude oil in your "Igbo want our oil" post was irritating.. Just a tiny oil,. even Abia state produce more barrels of Oil than Edo state.
Anambra is more industralized 100 times than your Edo state..

now I know it's obvious you're a fool. After Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, Akwa ibom, Edo oil is next followed by Ondo.

Whenever anything like resource control or true federalism is mentioned......there is always this set of people who come around to oppose it........Nigeria shaa

I am from Edo State. Many of my friends in delta (isoko, itsekiri, urhobo) share the same view with me.

Why are you having headache? you guys are so deluded!!! you think everything good is yours!! you think you can re-write history with propaganda? we both agree that Nigeria should divide. let south south form his own nation/nations why you form yours. what is paining you? you Igbo are so arrogant? you are the one changing history. Before colonialisation, most of south south today were all part of Benin Empire. read your history books. You guys with ur greed you want to steal all of them as yours. if there was no oil in south south will you want to add them to Biafra at all cost? why are you not adding benue and igala who are also your neighbours too by all means? thieves!!! you think everybody is a fool. don't worry, let the time come when Nigeria will divide, you will be shocked how much south south nationalities want to be alone.
Biafra was created in 1967 and had terminal stroke in 1970. most of these south south nationalities are older than Biafra.

Do you even know that the name biafra was named by an ijaw man?
Do you know that that name biafra was used to sign treaty with the British?
I ask again is South south a nationality? With your proposed absence of the igbos, you are certainly sure the remaining Six tribe are in harmony and will agree to form a country?

we agree on one thing that the current structure of Nigeria can't be maintianed. We either restructure or we divide.
in the case of a division a referendum would be conducted on the different tribes that make up biafra excluding igweocha, anioma etc that are established igboland.

atbu1983:


You claim SE and SS are one. why are you angry towards the possibility of SS being president in 2023? You see, you are a hippocrite!!! Igbo don't love us South south, they love only our oil just like Hausa and Yoruba.

Edo state have oil but not much compared to the big 4 (rivers,delta,bayelsa and akwa ibom). I am a petroleum engineer

Edo oil is produced by NPDC and Panocean.

The problem with you is that you lack knowledge. The only thing you know is bear parlour gist.

My Anambra state gave GEJ a greater percentage of the vote that your supposed SS Edo state. This tells me that Edo people are not fully committed to the shouts of freedom emanating fro the SS and SE. That is why I am not surprised at your fruitless attempts to undermine Igbos. Anyway, I can assure you that the Igbos in both Delta state and Rivers state will rather team up with their kith and kin in the SE

BTW, Anambra and Imo have the largest reserves of gas in the whole of Nigeria. The big 4 major oil producers are Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa follwed by Imo and Abia and then Anambra. Ondo follows suit
It may also be painful for you to know that if the Igbo-speaking peoples in Delta and Rivers were to form one single state, that state will be the undisputed number one oil producing state in Nigeria.
If the Igbo-speaking peoples of Delta and Rivers were to form two states, those states will be in the top four or five largest producers of oil in Nigeria
I can guarantee you that Bini will not benefit from it if these Igbos notice you are having a go, at their brothers in ths SE. Also I don't want you to forget that Anambra and Imo have the largest reserves of gas

the same way the oil you can't do the same. They're 6 oil producing areas in Edo. Edo State has an internally generated revenue of over 70 billion naira. If when Obj gave some of our oil wells to Ondo we still produce more oil than Ondo. Go and drown in the lagoon. Bloody flattie.

Lol. Lagos is like New York of Africa, owned by Yorubas, situated in Yorubaland, governed/controlled by Yorubas, and land of opportunity for all Nigerians who are looking for prosperity. Yorubas are proud to be the hosts of your hungry kinsmen who see our land as a mini-London. People from all over Nigeria prefer our land just as they prefer London and NY to Aghanistan and SE Nigeria Your land is barren and cursed.

And Osun workers are better off than Imo state workers in spite of all the Imo oil money so shove your advice morafocka fla.tty

so you have finally agreed that imo state have oil?
