Why South South Nations Won't Join Biafra. South South nations will rather form thier Own Confederation or seperate Nations

Igbo are using the support they gave to Jonathan in 2015 election as blackmail to convert Niger delta struggle to Biafra. This deception will not work. They only supported Jonathan because they got alot of appointments under Jonathan. They are just selfish and greedy people. Niger Delta Struggle is completely different from Biafra agitation. Igbo supported Obasanjo against thier own son and Hero Ojukwu in 2003 election, they should go and claim yoruba instead.

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 12 days war.

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 a 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, self-entitlement and born to rule, control and exploit mentality. 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. But by the time you add igbo who are currently leaving outside south east, you will discover that thier population is more than all the south south put together. 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. Some will say they have River Niger. River Niger is not a sea or an ocean for big Ships.

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 unbrainwashed 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 Igbos were gaining and were in control and were 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. However while south south clamour for succession is base on lack of true fiscal Federalism, on the other hand, igbo clamour for succession is base on IGBO BORN TO RULE, CONTROL AND EXPLOIT MENTALITY. Igbo make noise and claim d north have born to rule mentality because of Sokoto State former motto of born to rule which they have change. The People with the true born to rule mentality are d Igbo. it is because they are not having thier way that they are complaining and making all d noise all over Nigeria.

But how and why Nigeria will and should 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.

They will argue that there are some igbo in rivers state, delta state and edo state. As far as i am concern Igbo speaking people in south south will join Niger delta republic or confederation. Their are Hausa people in Niger, there are Yoruba people in Benin Republic and Togo. Does that make those yoruba and hausa speaking people in those countries Nigerians?

The south south nationalities can form a confederation with United Arab Emirate template, where seven different nationalities came together to form a confederation with each nationality having some form of autonomy.

if the south east want to join the confederation they can join. We can't leave nigeria and go and form another normal single country were there is a dominant tribe. That will be moving from frying pan to fire.

Just like the United Ararb emirate asked qatar and behrain to join them, but qatar and behrain choose to form thier individual countries.

What Biafra represent is a single country with a powerful centre where a dominant tribe can control. South south dont want that. If we must fight or struggle for succession, we need a new name like "United State of niger delta" or any other name which clearly shows a union rather than a single country.

We need to set the record straight before south south nations make the mistake of south Sudan. It is more than Four years south sudan left
sudan to form thier country. Since that time south sudan has been in War while North Sudan enjoy peace. This was because nations in
south sudan came together to form a single country without ensuring that thier difference in ethnicity was fully discuss. Some
part of south sudan are now feeling marginalized. That is exactly what will happen if Igbo succeed in forcing south south nations into
Biafra. That so called Biafra wont have peace. It will be another Somalia!!!!

For peace to rain let Igbo form Biafra from the Five south east state and let the the six states in south south form a confederation or seperate nations. Anything outside this will never work.

I do not hate Igbo people. Many of my friends are Igbo. I only hate thier deceit and greed. what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
What we dont want is a dominant tribe simple. If south south join Biafra, that country will be 60% Igbo. How do you think other minorities can compete in that kind of country? Whether we like it or not we both know that Igbo are not diplomatic people by nature. That will lead to complete extinction of other tribe. in less than 50years they will make the whole Biafra Ibo without any consideration.

I dont hate Igbo. But i hate when i know the Biafra they seek is a Biafra with current south south as an appendage to it.
Why cant they support our freedom, and we will support thier freedom. Why do igbo make it look like it is wrong for Niger Delta people to seek thier own freedom outside Biafra? In biafra current south south minority will be like conquered people. God forbid that to happen.

a quote from Isaac Adaka Boro Autobiography (wriiten himself). Read Chapter 5 - Campus Politics
http://www.adakaboro.org/the12dayrev/chapter-5-campus-politics.
This was the campaign statement of his opponent for UNN SUG presidency:
"My opponent, Ejiogu, took the floor when I had finished, and what did he say? "Ladies and gentleman, this is a crucial time in Nigeria when we should not allow a vocal minority to rule an obvious majority.
These words still ring in my memory because, as my opponent put it, they are crucial not only to me but to my people, the Ijaws. Most of the alien students walked out of the hall and it seemed as if a spell was cast on the atmosphere. The campaigns ended solemnly and the result of the election was again one way. Ejiogu won with his majority. The last minute strategy. A Cameroonian friend of mine, John Ngole, promptly resigned his secretaryship of the Historical Society in protest."

I am very sure that Nigeria will divide faster if Igbo seek Biafra with 5 south east state alone and Niger delta republic seek a country with the 6 South south states alone at the same time. Once the Hausa and Yoruba sees that Igbo are supporting a Niger Delta republic separate from Biafra, they will see it as true struggle. But if the struggle is about Biafra with south south in it, where Igbo will gain south south resources with Yoruba and Hausa loosing out, I bet you until South South oil finishes, Nigeria wont divide.

We don't need to form a single country with Igbo, we can seek for our separate nation on two front simultaneously but not on one front.
What we need is cooperation from Igbo not togetherness with Igbo. If they truly want to leave Nigeria and liberate Niger delta people from dominant tribes, they should support us to form our nation as they form thiers. I bet you when that happen, the struggle will be half won.

The Ojukwu Biafra was Igbo dream not Ijaw, Esan, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ikwerre, ogoni, ibibio, etc dream.

In summary, my point is if Nigeria will divide peacefully by United Nations referendum, south south will not join Biafra. Peaceful division of Nigeria can only be into a minimum of five countries (Arewa republic, Niger Middle belt, United Niger Delta, Oduwa republic, and Biafra). South South will form its own nation/nations. The only way south south and south east will form a single country like Biafra 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

UnimkeAk:


Please Cross River can never be part of Biafra
majority of cross riverians aren't even Efiks;
we share no relations; cultural or language wise.
infact we at the north are closer to benue and the middle belt.
from calabar to my village in obudu is 6hr

i'll ratther come from the middle beltan republic than come from biaffra .


Y would I want to be a minority in a new country.



Igbo pple should better have sense.

HaneefahRN:
I'av been wondering, when Biafra finally comes to pass, is it not these same greedy fellows that'll lead them? Or will the people in a place change cos of a change of name?
I haven't met any ibo guys who shout Biafra up and down, it's only on Nairaland this is prominent. The Ibo traders in South west looking for a means to survive don't go about shouting Biafra. What really is behind the clamoring for a Biafra?
Anyway, if they want to leave, they shld o, I only pray this doesn't bring about another civil war.
If not for the fact that I av Ibos as friends and I know how they behave, the way some or even most Ibos reason on nairaland wld make some1 av contempt for the tribe. Many tribalists, ethnocentric and religion bigots

QuotaSystem:
Sokoto State's motto has never been 'born to rule'.

It's slogan/motto has always been 'Seat of the Caliphate' (Cibyar Daular Usmaniyya). Please don't spread this falsehood any further. Thank you.

hansad:



Who cares? What is very important is that people of Sokoto Caliphate share little or NO common values with people in the southeast region. And a common value systems are the bedrock of nationhood.
People of Sokoto Caliphate and lots of the population in the southwest region of Nigeria share many common value systems. So the two areas are ripe for nationhood.

vayne:
What these scratch faced loud mouths are failing to understand is that no SE/SS governor will openly support Biafra,if that's what you are waiting for.


But deep down,look with your inner eyes,only then shall you realize the truth that they are pro-biafrans. .

You will understand in the fullness of time.

But if the struggle is about Biafra with south south in it, where Igbo will gain south south resources with Yoruba and Hausa loosing out, I bet you until South South oil finishes, Nigeria wont divide.

We don't need to form a single country with Igbo, we can seek for our separate nation on two front simultaneously but not on one front.
What we need is cooperation from Igbo not togetherness with Igbo. If they truly want to leave Nigeria and liberate Niger delta people from dominant tribes, they should support us to form our nation as they form thiers. I bet you when that happen, the struggle will be half won.

The Ojukwu Biafra was Igbo dream not Ijaw, Esan, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ikwerre, ogoni, ibibio, etc dream.

In summary, my point is if Nigeria will divide peacefully by United Nations referendum, south south will not join Biafra. Peaceful division of Nigeria can only be into a minimum of five countries (Arewa republic, Niger Middle belt, United Niger Delta, Oduwa republic, and Biafra). South South will form its own nation/nations. The only way south south and south east will form a single country like Biafra 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

[s]Because you pretend not to understand.
Common value systems as bedrock for nationhood:
During the sharia riots and killings in early 2000s, former Zamfara state governor, Sani Yerima, told a BBC female reporter that the difference between south of Nigeria and northern Nigeria is in value systems.
It is easier to have the whole of Europe form a nation than have nationhood from the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria.

.Stay there and be telling the falsehood that Igbo wants Biafra because of oil in the south south.

You forget that the most rich country in Europe Switzerland is landlocked and has no oil.
Igbo's attempt to ally with south south is to make it easier for the Igbo and south to pull out of a dysfunctional Nigeria.[/s]

Abasi adiong Biafra , I hate this country call nigeria with passion honestly ,how can u arrest innocent & unarmed civilians who carried out a peaceful protest for emancipation while boko rams are walking freely, those (BH.) arrested have all been released but innocent Biafrans are put to jail ....what a nation ! ...this country must disintegrate in the name of our Lord Jesus christ of Nazarete...Amen !!! ...in other news...''invest in Akwa ibom ''

matrixme:
For those calling for the actualization of the Biafran nation, you have my sincere pity. Do you think the Biafran country would be an utopia? I hope you people do sit to think things through. Igbos are known to settle more in other regions for business, so even if you succeed in the creation of your country, will you still expect the same liberality from Yorubas particularly or say Hausa people?
Have you reasoned why there are fewer foreigners domineering the Nigerian business sphere compared to other African country?
Also, will Okonjo Iweala be your Finance Minister? Perhaps she may give in her best the exact opposite way she did to Nigeria? Who will man your armed force, since your tribe obviously have not had a particular liking for such, overtime. If you say you have more values than you are currently displaying, then I fear even your Biafra will not be a nation of patriotic citizens.
Do you also think the Niger Deltans will open their eyes to be plundered again like mere property obtained through inheritance? In summary, you guys really need to wake up, this is 2015. Forming a nation requires more than hegemony and sheer will power.

hansad:



The Igbo spare parts traders you meet in SW can not shout Biafra because they have interest of their business there. But mind you they constitute a tiny fraction of Biafrans.


Nigeria is gone. Prepare to form your own country where people in it share common values. Ikwerre is bigger than many countries, Kalabari is bigger than many countries.Ogoni is bigger than many countries.

Instead of humanity in Nigeria undergoing this dehumanization by Arewa political machinations, Nigeria must disintegrate.

Don't you learn from the past.......chaiiiii

vayne:
What these scratch faced loud mouths are failing to understand is that no SE/SS governor will openly support Biafra,if that's what you are waiting for.


But deep down,look with your inner eyes,only then shall you realize the truth that they are pro-biafrans. .

You will understand in the fullness of time.

This one biafran threads are hitting FP,una don tire?

You think small boy Nnamdi is wiser than Buhari. Lol, I'm laughing in yoruba.

orakle007:
Let the Pro Biafrans keep deluding themselves, Na Niger Republic we stand for we can never fall into a country where the majority are Igbos, we have learnt from the past, they better sit up and scheme on how to get the presidency instead deluding them selves on how to get their country,The igbos supported us during the Jonathan Presidency,we have no option other than to form an alliance with them in order for the to get the presidency,Nigeria will always be one, there is a political solution to every thing
Support the Igbos for Presidecy !!

Who the f2k made you the spokesperson of Asaba. What the f2k concern a self claimed iteskiri with Asaba? Is it your land? Did we call you?

Why don't you speak for your limited landspace and stop stretching that your fat mouth to speak for Asaba..last I checked we have NOTHING in common with you worthless iteskiri monkies.

You buff00n can keep deluding you dimwitted sec on this forum..that will NEVER change the hatred passion we all have for that your undeveloped, backwards zoo.

You can keep shouting Anambra, SE, SE like you f00ls have been doing. First it was "there are no SS supporters of Biafra" and when sh1t hit the fan story changed to "it must be Igbo from SE protesting". When that country break, the next story from you fools would be "the indigenous are bastard children of SE traders". Pathetic mofo. Keep deluding una f2king sef

As far as I'm concerned don't you ever EVER speak for Asaba EVER again. We are not your mates. We share a state does not in anyway make you one of us. Look towards your yoloba slave cousins. We are proud biafrans and you can do us all the favour and kill yourself if you don't like it [/s]
