And yet there is no SS state that is known for any manufacturing output.
Atleast you have the likes of lagos, abia, anamabra and even kano producing something.
The type of migration you would probably get is the chinese styled migration.

Ekinematics:



Still the South South is more developed than the SE.
Still people migrate more to the SS than the SE.
Still the SS has more economical viable states than the SE.
Still the SS has more multinationals than the SE.
Still there are more South easterners running from their SE to come get a better life in the SS.
I can go on and on.

YonkijiSappo:

Isn't lagos "no mans' land" again?

vantage001:

The bolded is wrong.
As for the rest, i have no interest in arguing further.
If SE ans the SS become seperate nations, our first line of action should be to create a trump styled wall to prevent the inevitable influx of refugees pouring into the SE due to widespread militant activity in the SS.
Ofcourse, we will pay the militant lord in charge of the akwaibom axis to use the water ways to import machineries for aba hustlers and that innoson chap and others that will spring up across our land.

ovoP:
Steel is produced where? if nt 4 d fact that the govt privatized it and gave it to the indians. even glass is produced here the refineries are what. all these ones are just even in delta state alone.

obaino860:


Nigeria is just a fake and quake country......

..The Yoruba's are dragging Lagos..
..One day the Hausa's will wake up and start dragging Abuja...

...I just pity the SS/SE, we are just the biggest looser.

vantage001:

Give me one reason right now why you would gamble the other way.
Tell me one thing that the SS does as well as the SE. Absolutely nothing.
The SE is more educated, more resourceful, has more specialized human resource and a more established entrepreneural base. The SE even in Nigeria currently has the lower poverty rate. And i am not even talking about the social order that a single ethnic provides that is absent in the disorganized, entropic south-south who would most likely erupt in a free for all ethnic struggle for who controls what.
The only thing the SS has more is oil and the atlantic. And those are not enough to build a prosperous nation in the african context.
A smart gambler knows where his bet lies.

vantage001:

Chest beating ? So the SS is more educated than the SE? The SS has deeper entrepeneural base than the SE? abi.
You don't even know your weaknesses, you are busy shouting south-south.

And if they don't agree? besides the seaport u so want @ akwa-ibom is nt nearly ready. guy stop been ignorant i hv no problem with u or south easterners i like the partnership but don't downplay the south-south

vantage001:
Access to the atlantic closer home is the most important thing here. That should be the first thing especially from the south-east point of view.
The SE need to prevail on the governor of akwaibom to develop a world class seaport and if possible make it a joint venture with an agreed revenue sharing formula.
If that is the only thing they can achieve in five-ten years, then it would have been very well productive union.

Feraz:
Guy, this dick measuring contest is enough. You are giving them the reason to bash SE the more and indirectly making the summit fail before it is actualized and drawing more online enemy.

This is uncalled for.

Ekinematics:


They ain't making it look like. It's obvious the SE is the weaker one. See how they are jumping around all over the thread in jubilation.
How many persons from the SS do you see jubilating over the news?

gurnam:


You are apparently missing the point. My point is you are sounding like a junior partner that has more to benefit from the arrangement than the SS.You are practically begging for their cooperation, and looking more like the weaker partner, even with your superior number.

gurnam:


No, the SE without the SS will be the most useless in the eventual case of a breakaway without the SS.
That is why the idea of a Biafra without the SS is a nightmare that you Ibos cannot fathom or imagine, it's just not an option palatable to you.

Lufthansa:
I pity south-south people. You are on the verge of selling your birth right.

Ekinematics:



They'll never agree, but inside them they know the truth.

obaino860:


Young man...you are just pained here........Study the map very well and tell me how come about SS and SE...if you look at the map very well...you will see that the place called SE is at the middle surrounded by the so called SS...is it that we don't know how to allocate regions again? or what.....

es144000:
South east should be on their own and leave south south alone. We don't want any alliance

Maduawuchukwu:


We realize and appreciate better the advantages of the sea that is why we are the ones flogging up the issue.

technicallyrich:

I m south south and I am fully behind the igbos they are my brothers and most of my ancestors are from igbo.now yoruba boy go and take your bath first please before typin nonsense.any south south man fooled to fight igbos is a great fool and a slave.

vantage001:

There is virtually no significant manufacturing output in the SS. The only thing you find is extraction. Your refineries is to extract oil and none if them is owned by a niger-deltan.
Orient refinery in anambra was built and owned by South-easterners. That is the diference between us.
There are Glass industries everywhere in Nigeria. The few ones in the SS is not significant enough to be reckoned with.

raker300:
Tell the south south to return every abandoned Igbo property they seized after the war.

None of them should align with the igbos again..what I have seen on nairaland has opened my eyes...well, the governors we have in the east now are mean men that don't take nonsense..well, maybe excluding okorocha sha

ogunsj:
which midwest? I hope you are not referring to Edo state. edo state is still affiliated to the west politically and culturally. my guy you can't change history and reality. edo state is an APC state and most edo indigene from the owan axis bears Yoruba names, so what are you talking about. go and read your history.

vantage001:

I am not down playing the south-south. You down play yourself when you think the igbo man is out to get you, instead of forging a meaningful partnership and get our collective people out of african poverty.
Tell me, what is bad about a seaport? Is it not going to provide jobs and revenue for the south-south fellow and government? Because it benefits the igbo man somewhat, and suddenly that makes you suspicious. And that is how you down play yourself.

gurnam:


There are three words Ibos have a problem of definitions with;
FEAR
BRAVERY
HATE.

obaino860:

[s]kindly answer the question below...

the map very well and tell me how come about SS and SE...if you look at the map very well...you will see that the place called SE is at the middle surrounded by the so called SS...is it that we don't know how to allocate regions again? or what.....
Or is it that we don't know where cardinal point are located again[/s].
