IPOB Protest: Please Do Not Overstep Your Bounds In Port Harcourt City - Natives by Nobody: 10:14am On Oct 22, 2015
It is with utter dismay that I write this open letter as a Rivers State Youth following this week's protest by purported IPOB members on the streets of Port Harcourt and Obio Akpor.

On behalf of other well meaning Rivers Youth, I make the following submission:

1. We condemn in its entirety, the road show of shame by youth mainly comprising those of Igbo extraction on our home soil. It is an affront on our hospitable disposition and will not be tolerated forthwith.

2. The name "Port Harcourt City" is a name we have always known the geographical location we currently call our home. We shall not sit idly and watch an Nnamdi Kanu or any of his cohorts rename our city "Igweocha".

3. As a people, irrespective of tribe or ethnicity, we distance ourselves from every IPOB activity within our geographical space and call on the relevant authorities to clamp down on every dissident group of outlaws working towards disturbing the peace we enjoy in Rivers State.

4. We call on the relevant authorities to unleash the full wrath of the law on the 20 IPOB Members currently in custody in order to serve as a deterrent to others.

5. Same way one of our own, Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro fought on the Nigerian side for the unity of this country, we shall do anything possible to uphold an indivisible Nigeria and see the Nigerian Dream become a reality.

6. We enjoin all our hosts to remain law abiding while going about their lawful businesses in order to avoid friction with the natives and promote peaceful coexistence, as going forward, we shall not hesitate to use necessary force to dissipate any unholy congregation.

Like adult Lions, we shall also not hesitate to protect our pride and colony against negative external forces.

Do not respond to that duuuummmbbb old man, can't you see his name? He is one of those you are talking about, part of the cancer destroying Nigeria! How can any Nigerian who had worked hard for even 5 years after graduation but cannot boast of even a N 1 M per annum job defend a saraki sitting on hundreds of billions he cannot justifiably prove he did not steal yet he defends him? Even Sarakis home towners are mad with the stealing of their wealth, but Ibos, the same people are his defenders, what does that tell you? They hate Nigeria and are doing anything to make if fail, including supporting high corruption, and then complain that Nigeria is bad? Chukwudi is theeader of this band of phools.

What South South Niger Delta wants is 50% Resource Control not biafra

Igbo are using the support they gave to Jonathan in 2015 election as blackmail to convert Niger delta struggle to biafra. Niger delta struggle is 50% resource control. 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 benefiting from the current system. After all an Igbo man Gen Agunyi Ironsi created the Unitary System for Nigeria in 1966 that we are complaining against today. Gen Agunyi Ironsi set the foundation for the destruction of regional federalism in Nigeria. if not for his love for total control and domination (The disease of an average Igbo man), Niger delta would have be enjoying 50% resource control 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 day 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 states were first part of 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 Singapore. if Qatar and Singapore 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 their 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 3 times 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 and resource control, 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 licence plate 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 resource control or 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 IF WE CAN'T GET 50% RESOURCE CONTROL. 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.

If we cant get resource control, 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 that why the primary interest of Niger Deltans is resource control, Igbo primary interest is seperation from Nigeria with Niger delta as thier trophy. Igbo wants a nation where they can become the lord, control and dominate others. Since in Nigeria, Hausa and yoruba are ahead of them in the power struggle, they resort to blackmail and cry foul claiming marginalization.

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

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

In summary, my point is that why the primary interest of Niger Deltans is resource control, Igbo primary interest is seperation from Nigeria with Niger delta as thier trophy. Igbo wants a nation where they can become the lord, control and dominate others. Since in Nigeria, Hausa and yoruba are ahead of them in the power struggle, they resort to blackmail and cry foul claiming marginalization.

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

you spend so much energy writing trash cheesy

The only reason why biafra wont work is because its seems only daft igbo people are the proponents
all I see is insults directed at incurring hate, lack of a clearcut strategy by either the ipob leaders and their 'daft' e- warriors and a obvious greed to claim somone else land when you havnt even had yours
in btw why is thr no known igbo leader openly advocating for biafra ( is it safe to say all igbo leaders are cowerds then?)

MyPWisINCORRECT:
It is with utter dismay that I write this open letter as a Rivers State Youth following this week's protest by purported IPOB members on the streets of Port Harcourt and Obio Akpor.

On behalf of other well meaning Rivers Youth, I make the following submission:

1. We condemn in its entirety, the road show of shame by youth mainly comprising those of Igbo extraction on our home soil. It is an affront on our hospitable disposition and will not be tolerated forthwith.

2. The name "Port Harcourt City" is a name we have always known the geographical location we currently call our home. We shall not sit idly and watch an Nnamdi Kanu or any of his cohorts rename our city "Igweocha".

3. As a people, irrespective of tribe or ethnicity, we distance ourselves from every IPOB activity within our geographical space and call on the relevant authorities to clamp down on every dissident group of outlaws working towards disturbing the peace we enjoy in Rivers State.

4. We call on the relevant authorities to unleash the full wrath of the law on the 20 IPOB Members currently in custody in order to serve as a deterrent to others.

5. Same way one of our own, Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro fought on the Nigerian side for the unity of this country, we shall do anything possible to uphold an indivisible Nigeria and see the Nigerian Dream become a reality.

6. We enjoin all our hosts to remain law abiding while going about their lawful businesses in order to avoid friction with the natives and promote peaceful coexistence, as going forward, we shall not hesitate to use necessary force to dissipate any unholy congregation.

Like adult Lions, we shall also not hesitate to protect our pride and colony against negative external forces.
Where is the source of this junk?

Do you think it means I support Nnamdi Kanu's nonsense? My difference with him and his likes lies in my in depth knowledge of issues beyond there level.

Don't mind these silly mofos.
If the amount of insults and hate they dish out is enough to bring Biafra to fruition, Biafra would have been long established as a sovereign country, but we know they are men with only brawn with no brain.

Abagworo: you may not like him but often times he says the truth.
Here, the maverick buttresses the fact that what happened in Port Harcourt was a political seismic shift. He himself never expected this, having his maternal ancesty in Ikwerre land.
Kanu's IPOB strategy of 'media inoculation' is paying big dividend. As i listened to the live broadcast yesterday, there was a sizable number of Ibibio and Ogoja callers. What surprised me was the anger in their tone over their leader's arrest. If Nigeria had leaders with quick wits, this is the time to call the people of this country for a renegotiation. So much anger in the land.

what are these your strategies? If you know nigeria very well you won't be saying what you are saying. The only time biafra struggle resonates this loud was in "69" now bring forth your sacred method.
