I Put It Up To You, Show Me South/south On The Compass. by Tonylyte(m): 8:28pm On Aug 05, 2023 |
Someone actually gave me this assignment to show him the location of south/south on the compass. I couldnt trace that, can you come to my aid? Is the "south/south" geopolitical zone a titile or a location? |

Tonylyte: My brother, SS was engineered by Alex Ekwueme to give non Ibos in SS a voice at National level.... It's actually geographically wrong as you said Unfortunately some disgruntled elements in SS region will turn around and tell you that Ibos are not happy about SS, how can they not be happy about what they created ? I have told SE Ibos on this forum to focus on Ibo nation and leave non Ibos in SS to their fate.. When it comes to Nig break up, only Akwa cross align with SE.. Others are on the fence waiting for where Nigeria is swinging to .. I only want Ibo nation that comprised SE Ibos and SS Ibos starting from My Anioma to Opobo .. Others should remain where they are.. If they want to join there should be a written agreement.. I don't want anybody to cry of marginalization tomorrow 11 Likes 3 Shares |

Bro, count Akwa Ibom out of your permutation. An average Ibo man sees an Akwa Ibom man as inferior, Akwa Ibom State can never be part of Biafra. They (Ibos) don't take our opinion serious, they just believe we are part of them. Don't force people into your struggles ISLAMBAD: 4 Likes |

I wonder how una dey reason sometimes. Because it's not on a compass, it invalidates the actual name? Is there also anything like North Central? The answer is no. I think you guys are confusing geography with name of a place. States are mapped out and named SS, NC, etc., It mustn't appear on a compass because it's a name. Assuming if they named them as thus Hausa zone 1, Hausa zone 2 Hausa zone 3 Yoruba zone Igbo zone Niger Delta zone Maybe you would have understood what name means. A noun is a name of a place, animal or things. SS is a name of a mapped out state. Got it? 4 Likes 1 Share |

The person that asked the question from you is an educated illiterate. South-South is a GeoPolitical zone just as North-Central. This is not a matter of bearing or compass North and South stuff. If we like, we can have South-Mid West, it’s Geopolitics and those that conjured it do not tell you they are conforming to true compass meaning. 4 Likes |

adebayo987:they are called geopolitical zones in Nigeria, hence the mapping is adjudged to be wrongly done. It would have made more sense if they had used ethnic names instead, because Akwa cross location as SS makes no sense. |

Re: I Put It Up To You, Show Me South/south On The Compass. by adebayo987: 8:30am On Aug 06, 2023 |
mycar:Not just because it's in the SS rather. These regions were divided based on ethnicity (majorly), but they were not named ethically because their were other minorities living in Nigeria and it wouldn't be fair to do so. |

AntiMarxist:The south south aren't complaining, infact the SS will rather agree to continue with the name than becoming part of SE. It is only the SE that isn't comfortable with the name cos they have a hidden agenda 3 Likes |

Wainey: You guys and propaganda. Which hidden agenda...? But the OP told you that it was an Igbo who carved SS out...so? Before 1914 why did the hidden agenda come up..so Igbos will take your land? In your SS there are Egbemas...half of them are in Imo state...so what will you do with them? Were they consulted to find out if they wanted to be part of River state? Nobody wants your oil...or you land. No this and have peace. |

Cooly100:if there is no hidden agenda, then allow the South south to chose if they want to be called SE or they are comfortable with SS. I have not seen anyone from SS complaining about the name, it's always the south east that isn't comfortable with it. Please let us be, we do not have problem with the SE people but we are comfortable with the name SS name. 2 Likes |
Re: I Put It Up To You, Show Me South/south On The Compass. by AntiMarxist: 11:16am On Aug 06, 2023 |
Wainey: I don't really understand this madness from the Ibos. The old eastern Nigeria was a British created lumped contraption just as the almagation of 1914. Why are they the only ones refusing to see to the end of this colonial map? First the coup of Jan 15 botched the federal parliament from creating COR region out of the eastern region. Then Ojukwu declared Biafra because Gowon created old Rivers and old Cross River out of the eastern region to now bitching over SS as a geopolitical region. Only Ibos continue to berate SS region as a seperate distinct geopolitical entity that has constitutional backing. Not the Fulani. Definitely not the SW. Only Ibos are obsessed in seeing to SS dragged back into the old Ibo dominated Eastern region. Even their latest Biafra madness isn't complete without dragging SS . See even what Nnmadi Kanu had to say about SS people and the region as a whole: "Niger Deltans are cowards; we know what to do to them. Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers, Edo and Cross Rivers State are our territory and anybody who tries to oppose us will be crushed." This is the mindset Ibos have towards SS - a region waiting to be annexed . |

adebayo987:it was done according to the four cardinal points, the SE /SS mapping was a deliberate action. It would have even made more sense if it was called East central instead of SE, how can one explain the reason Cross River and Edo states are part of SS? |
