SS Open Your Eyes: The Effects Of The Civil War On Niger Delta(wikipedia) by DaFlash: 6:48pm On Apr 17, 2016
The Niger Delta people sustained
heavy suffering and deaths during
the Nigerian Civil War, also known
as the Biafran War with Nigeria.
The entire Niger Delta became a
major war front as the Nigerian
Army fought and pushed Biafran
soldiers out of the region and deep
into Biafran territory, leading to the
end of the war. Over one million
Niger Deltans died during the war.
Present-day Akwa Ibom State,
Bayelsa State, Cross River State,
Delta State, and Rivers State were
severely affected; Akwa Ibom State,
Delta State and Bayelsa State
sustained most of the casualties
.




The loss of lives began when
Biafran soldiers invaded the Niger
Delta at the start of the war; many
Niger Delta community leaders
were eliminated, as the region was
mainly on the side of the Federal
Government
. Many children and
adults died due to starvation and
diseases and as casualties of war. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niger_Delta





Now tell me how a group of people want you as part of their country by invading and eliminating your people to a near extinction(genocide), in the near past, and today they the bloody invaders still calls you brother. History never forgets.
The effect of the civil war was the begining of niger delta's current problem of today. Any new one is a death blow to the entire region.
Think twice niger deltans your future is in your hands.

The secretary to the government of Biafra known as Mr. N. U Akpan was from Akwa Ibom
The chief of defence staff, vice president and second president of Biafra was also from Akwa Ibom I.e General Efiong

The gentleman that suggested the name Biafra, was from Bayelsa state I.e HRH Frank Opigo

Every such order to "invade" any Biafran territory would have been signed by Gen Efiong.
Any such order would have been minuted by NU Akpan in the executive meeting.

I bet you will have an impossible task proving that Gen. Efiong ever endorsed such an order and which of the field commanders he gave such an order.

Nice try. Try something else grin

Which one is SS? The so called SS that is not recognised by any law in Nigeria? The OP should drop this so called 'SS' and speak only for your tribe. Other tribes can speak for themselves. I don't know how someone can be talking about SS when Igbos and Igbo speaking people are the largest ethnic group inside the so called SS.

nigeria army just massacred the niger delta people during the civil war.
they were inconsequential, the real target was ojukwu and the yeeboes.
the southern minorities were not reckoned with.
though port harcourt, uyo and calabar were liberated early in the war, no efforts were made to set up safe havens there for people formerly in rebel regions.
with insecurity and the blockade policy, the people there starved in hundreds of thousands.
