malton:


I didn't mean it it like that.

What I am saying is, what deal can Biafra offer a resource-rich Niger-Delta?

They are the ones with the resources, I don't see why they should go with Biafra so she could offer them a better deal than Nigeria currently does.

Can they not stand on their own?

malton:


What deal can a poor man offer the rich?

UncleJudax:

That's the problem...they don't seem to be able to decide on anything. They keep shouting IGBOs want our oil. And I ask...what do Hausa and Yoruba want from you?

Seriously, IGBOs have their own oil; Imo, Abia, Anambra and IGBO territories in SS, all have OIL

Like you said, no body should force them to join Biafra...or even make a decision bout their future
Ask them again what do yorubas and hausas want from them?

mesoprogress:
Did you read my original submission? They are not fighting for anything except their stomach. Their story revolve around oil. Natural resources is not a true resource. Would Niger deltans know that there was oil thousands of feet below them? Is it not Oyibo (human resources) that discovered it? Do you know that microchip is made of silicon which is sand! Microchip powers your phones, computers and every smart device. The most valuable company in the world is Apple that manufactures devices using microchip and not ExxonMobil or Shell. So true resources are people who can innovate not mineral resources. Reread my submission, South South life revolves around oil, nobody is forcing them to join any group. They can continue to drink ogogoro in their creeks

mesoprogress:

Have you travelled through Bayelsa and creeks of Niger delta ? Apart from Edo abd Sapele axis, they're very poor . You hardly see that level of poverty in southeast villages. Most menial jobs are done by so called rich Niger deltans. They in a big dream because they have been raped and at tge same time blinded.

Danielmoore:
I am from delta state but i think IBO's should leave all these ogogoro drinking SS people and focus on the really SS igbo minorities (ikwere and Anioma) who speak igbo.am a confirmed delta igbo boy and I support Biafra.

soliddust2020:


what the hell is wrong with you ipobs. how is it your business in anyway if we are purposeless and decide to drink ogogoro from morning till night. can't you guys make your el dorado without SS oil. We refused to be bullied by Ipobs into another parasitic relationship. We know what we want and biafra isn't not on the list.

emi14:

Well done op. This should serve as insight, eye opener to the Deltan youths. Agbo youths are the most industrious and focused in that region.
If Niger Deltans decide to remain in one Nigeria slogan without realities, Biafra have no right to force them against their will or wish but the should remember the words of Jim Wiwa father of slain ken saro wiwa during the Biafra war....."do not fight your neighbours" ken supported Nigerian army, the same Nigerian army commander Abacha hanged him. History is about repeating itself. Hausas are interested in crude oil period but the decision is yours.

EvilMetahuman:

Last time I checked, south south also have more human resources than south east.
They are ahead of south east in everything you can think about.


you didn't answer the damn question?

What do south east (igbos) have to offer south south (ijaws, urohos and other ethnic group) that would make them want to join the dreamed potopoto utopia.



By the looks of things, if nigeria breaks today, south east will be the biggest parasite on south south if they both form a country together. Why would south south leave the horror of nigeria and still join south east with nothing to offer them but leech on their resources?

GrandGarcon:
One question. How?

EvilMetahuman:
how what?

HarryDuce:
So you went through to all the villages in the Niger Delta and summarised that the all the indigene's are very poor? The South east is very wealthy and the Delta is very poor, Congratulations on that. Everybody is now aware of the great South east. Well, its very obvious you just felt like pressing phone. You and your ignorant fellowship should know that the Niger Delta tribes are very much better of in Nigeria, than Biafra. Because you choose not to see things as they are does not mean others are equally blinded.

GrandGarcon:
you say we will become the biggest parasites

EvilMetahuman:


South east will rely on them for port as south east is landlocked.
Will rely on them for lands,
Will rely on them for natural resources, (oil) and human resources, etc.

North east is the biggest parasite in nigeria at the moment, followed by south east.


What does south east have that will make e.g an ijaw man or ibibio man say, yes, I want biafra?

EzeUche:


The Igbo, not south east has the numbers to make Biafra a dream.

The Niger Delta can't get their freedom on their own. That is a simple fact.

The Igbos have the sheer number to give the Niger Delta their freedom.

GrandGarcon:
clap for your self.
The River in Onistha will be dredged, go to Aba, the guys there are experts in making dredgers, I mean it.
Even if we rely on them for port, who will benefit? The Lagos IGR you people gloating about, does Lagos print money? Is not the tax the Igbos pay a huge part of the IGR? Now if the money is given to let's say Bayelsa villages, Will they cry? Will it kill them? Na wa for you!
The lands, are they bought with hard earned money or another means? It is only in the zoo called Nigeria that the buyer is punished and the seller praised.
Have you heard about Orient Oil un Anambara? In Enugu Coal, Gas and crude oil lie side by side. What of Limestone? In Abia there is this type of clay that is used to make high quality tiles, the land is extremely fertile.
Human resources? Hahahababanabahabahabahatatatatatata, you make me laugh, go to Aba, Onitsha and Nnewi and see what human resources is all about.
The truth is that they say they want 70% of the oil sales. Only an Ignorant fellow will ask for 70% while Nnamdi Kanu is proposing a whopping 100%, just pay a tax to the state government and the central government which they are part of. Toroba has no narrative to presnet.

Debatesmartly:


It landlocked because you claimed far eastern states like Cross river and Akwa Ibom as part of the south south.
What does do people in akwa ibom have to do with people from edo ?
Nonsense , Rubbish

EvilMetahuman:
[s][/s]yada yada yada

Have been hearing about this dregging since 1960, in 2017 south east is still landlocked.

Build one city in south east that will come close to abuja or port Harcourt let alone lagos, then we talk.



[b]South east is the poorest region after boko haram ravaged north east.[

you have nothing to gloat about until that changes.

saintmark88:


You have no territory in d south south, ur territory ends n d southeast.....dey want to start claiming our territory, like play like play dem go rivers, bayelsa, delta na their territory, wanting to claim the oil....thieves u just brought out ur evil agenda

EvilMetahuman:
longer throat.
how many ibos do you have in cross river and akwa ibom?

Because they are part of the old east region doesn't mean they belong to ibo.

Delta and edo were part of western region, you don't see yorubas claiming those states.
