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. 1 Like |

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 4 Likes |

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. 1 Like |

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. |
