What you need to know about the niger delta:
1)The Niger Delta is the delta of the Niger River sitting directly on the Bight of Biafra side of the Gulf of Guinea on the Atlantic Ocean inNigeria.

2)The Niger Delta, and the "South South Zone",are two different entities.
The Niger Delta is the oil-producing region comprising of Bayelsa,Delta,Rivers,Abia, Akwa-Ibom, Cross River, Edo,Imo and Ondo States(9 states).
While in the Nigerian South South is a geo-political zone comprising of Akwa Ibom,Bayelsa,Cross River,Delta,Edo and Rivers States(6 states)

3)subdivisions of the niger delta:

The western niger delta,consisting of Urhobo,Igbo,Isoko,Itsekiri,Ijaw(or Ezon) and Ukwuani groups in Delta State,along with Yoruba (Ilaje) in Ondo State.

The central niger delta,consisting of The Ijaw (including the Nembe-Brass, Ogbia,Kalabari people, Ibani of Opobo & Bonny,Okrika,and Andoni clans).The Ogoni and other groups which consist of Igbo,Etche,Ogba, Ikwerre,Ndoni,Ekpeye and Ndoki in Rivers State.

The eastern niger delta,consisting of Efik, Ibibio,Annang,Oron,Ogoja(including Ekoi and Bekwara) people, who are all related with a common language and ancestor.

Now to the question:
when Isaac Adaka Boro during Nigerian president Ironsi's administration, just before the Nigerian Civil War declared an independent niger delta republic..
The present day abia,Imo and ondo states where not among.
There have been agitations for niger delta republic recently,pending the stance of igbos in niger delta(which on a normal day should be decided by a referendum),are they going to include IMO,ondo and abia states in the proposed niger delta republic?

Note:am an Igbo from delta state

Ondo ke?

Ondo ke?

Yeah,how does it feel to know that southwest's ondo will be lost,likewise southeast's IMO and abia states,assuming it's successful.

Some yorubas and self acclaimed niger deltans have always supported the creation of niger delta republic without the igbos in it,will you be willing to sacrifice ondo?

Niger Delta Republic is same as South South Republic.

The question is why are they still pushing for the republic when SE and SW states are involved?

The hypocrites from SW will not come and answer the question now,but are quick to support imaginary niger delta republic..

Niger delta republic has always been dead on arrival,plus the inclusion of ondo,IMO and abia...that one is petrol on fire.

i support nigerdelta republic but please remove ondo from your republic

babyfaceafrica:

The yorubas must loose ondo,no two ways about it.you yorubas have always encouraged the division of igbos that you will rather support a niger delta republic against b1afra,forgetting that one of your states is among the proposed ND republic..
Sometimes it's good to have a too of your own iceberg ,you must lick your wound.

Why
You see what am saying

Is there a particular reason why you don't want ondo to be among,even while it's among niger delta?

So why does it look like the SW supports the movement but doesn't want the inclusion of ondo?

The way I see it, nobody will be forcing anybody to live together. For the first time in the history of Africa since Tanzania (Tangayika and Zanzibar), people will be coming together VOLUNTARILY to form a country they will be proud of- whether Biafra or Niger delta republic. I don't see the Igbo forcing the Ijaw to stay with them by force and I don't see the Ijaws forcing the Efikman to do 'by force unity" with him. Everybody have learnt from the distateful Nigeria experience.
People can only work together when they agree and that is why nigeria can never work even in a billion years because there CAN NEVER BE A CONSENSUS, let's face it.

I have loved nigeria before, but my eyes have opened and I AND MY CHILDREN CAN NEVER BE PATRIOTIC TO THIS nigeria that is structured to make some people slaves and other masters. Nigeria's glory days are gone FOREVER and as humans we should start brainstorming on how to move apart peacefully without bloodshed, like real humans, not animals.

Adios nigeria.

(Niger)delta is geological term,ondo is a predominantly Yoruba state with ijaw villages on its waterways down south and am sure they(yorubas)won't trade been with their fellow Yorubas to a Niger Delta republic.

they support it because they think they can spite Igbos by supporting ND republic against Biafra, unfortunately for them, Igbos are also not fighting against ND republic, this still annoys them.

They thought Igbos will rush back to nigeria if they (yorubas and hausa) support ND republic out of hate for Igbo/Biafra, but Igbos are wiser, anything but slave camp Nigeria will satisfy Igbos even AmbazoniBiafra republic.

As for those of us in delta state's asaba,we are full blown igbos and hopefully,when the time comes,we would be included in the SE,I don't speak any other language apart from Igbo,merging me with any other ethnicity will mean wiping away my history.
