If There Is Nothing Of Its Kind In Nigeria Then Why 'South South'? by akiOYIBO: 4:39pm On Oct 16, 2018 |
I believe nairaland is flooded with men of calibre, intelligence and experts. I have tried to decipher it logically but all to no avail. Someone said "guy dis tin no dey logical, u no fit tink am out". I don't wanna concede to that easily so I seek for help here in nairaland. If there is nothing like WEST WEST, EAST EAST, NORTH NORTH in Nigeria then why SOUTH SOUTH? |

akiOYIBO: In reality, the constitution of Nigeria does not recognise anything like South/South or South East or any Region for that matter. South/South is just an econonic zone made up states that were unconstitutionally created by the military. Same goes for the South East The called the area South/South Because there was nothing else they could call it. |

akiOYIBO:guy how young are you. cos its obvious you are young. south south is the political name for biafrans whose oil resources is been used to fight thier brothers in the east. let me explain more once UPON a time a man from delta did a coup. they call it igbo coup and killed 3million people from the south east. but when oil is found in delta state. it becomes south south. and the people who did the coup will accuse thier south east brothers as oil thieves and land grabbers. yet they spare the real thieves who now own 87% of the oil. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

In the 16 Cardinal Points Notation, anything West of South East (SE) before South West (SW) is South of South (S of S) but the correct nomenclature is South of South East (SSE) or South of South West (SSW). Geopolitically, Nigeria (though unofficially) uses the 4 and 8 point notation and hardly can regions be referred to North of North East, South of South West or South of South East. But those regions that are called SS are in the SSE and SSW (note the SS tag) when locating them. To my thinking, they may be so called because they are areas between the SE and SW, or ordinarily, I believe they are called South South because they're the most southern parts of Southern Nigeria, and it makes some sense. 3 Likes |

MalcoImX: Nigeria GPZ is not 8 but 6, hence the adoption NW NE NC, SW, SE, SS. SS should have being called SC but being that it extend into the ocean, unlike the NC that exist on the center of the map Thats my thinking 1 Like |

akiOYIBO: What we have in Nigerian constitution is Eastern Nigeria, Northern Nigeria, Western Nigeria and Mid Western Nigeria. Geopolitical zones is artificial creation by Obasanjo and Ekwueme. |

abc115: He's talking of separating kinsfolk due to oyel politics! When the military were creating their states they could have made Anioma and other Igbo in the old Bendel, as well as those in Rivers and Benue states to be part of the South-East! This didn't happen because of the politics of oyel and balkanisation of Igboland! 1 Like |

The 6 geo-political zones (north-west, north-east, north-central, east, west and south-south) were the creation of Dr Alex Ekwueme who made the suggestion at the 1995 constitutional conference. Before his suggestion, people thought of the zones in Nigeria as being north, west and east. In the interview below he explains how he concieved the idea. The idea of the six geopolitical zones looks brilliant. Was it your idea alone? https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/11/ekwueme-bisi-onabanajo-plotted-six-geopolitical-zones-prison/ 1 Like 3 Shares |

Its a geopolitical zone nothing more. The term is made up and arbitrary. The Mid west is geopolitical zone in united states refering to north central region. The term DFW metropolex was coined in 70's. Dont make the issue that complex. Cameroon has region called extreme north. If you like call it extreme south if you want. 1 Like |

Lol if the geopolitical maps were a plot to split regions why were regions fragmenting from very begging. Lol its silly to believe this was some nefarious plot. Some people are viewing history with rose colored lenses. |
