Nowenuse: It is none of our business. They can form 1000 independent countries if they do wish. Let's face our problem and leave them alone. If they can't solve their problems let them live with them. Simple. My own is that Igbo should stop mentioning Igbo and those people in the same sentence. It doesn't make sense. Let every group carry their own cross. 2 Likes |

Blackking98: I dont even see the rationale behind coercing the territorities of others into d biafrain map without first trying to liase & negotiate with stakeholders whose boundaries have been encrouched. You cant just wake up one morning with a vision & try to foist it on others by hook or crook. worst still they try to force their identities on others & use the most profane and acerbic languages on those who disagree with them. They have failed to learn |

We don't like to be grouped into Biafra because that's the worst thing that can happen to us. We would rather be in Nigeria than join Biafra,are you too stupid to understand that? WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH IGBOS BECAUSE WE DON'T TRUST IGBOS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW? We want to stay in Nigeria or we have our Niger Delta Republic. We are very happy to be in Nigeria but the Igbos are the ones that are not happy and are trying to drag us into their issues. Do you understand now? |
Re: South East Should Stop Disrespecting The Niger Delta by Nowenuse: 9:24pm On May 07, 2020 |
pazienza: The question is who and which group of people will form this new Renaissance Biafran project? Can you do it? Do you think being a seccesionist leader is being a community leader? We can never all have what we want. Even if your Renaissance Biafran group comes up, there will still be many more Igbos who will disagree with their ideologies and seek to form a new one. In life it best to work with what you have at the moment. |

Mystiquefia:They feel by insulting us or trying to take our identity away they can coerce us into doing their bidding, I remember when Jonathan was president most international news channels like BBC or CNN always mentioned him being from the "oil rich Niger Delta region or the South South region of the country". Yet some clowns sit down in their kiosk and type rubbish on NL and feel they've made sense by saying there's nothing like SS. Mtchewww |

Akponmfet: What I find funny is that some people are saying that Igbos are attaching other tribes to Biafra yet the same person is attaching other tribes to Niger Delta. Niger Delta is not a tribe. A Bini man will get up attach Efik, Ogoja Ibibio to a none existent Niger Delta even though he has no historical connection to these tribes. Someone will just get up and attach over 300 tribes by force and say "we are all one Nigeria" Another person will get up and attach over 20 tribes by force and say "we are all Niger Deltans" Only the Biafra agitator is saying that there should be a referendum so that everyone can choose where they want to belong. Nigerian are doing far more "attach by force" than the Biafrans who want things done by democracy People should learn not to be hypocrites. The only agitation that is not attaching anyone by force 3 Likes |

Blackking98: Rounded up like criminals? Were Yoruba traditional leaders not arrested by the law enforcement agencies after the Ife crisis against Hausa fulanis? You try to kill a general in your Ibibio land and see if you will not be wiped out. I was born and bred in the SS and I have been to Akwa-cross anyhow. I wanted to school in Unical before I went to Uniben, so if I was a stranger to the region, I wouldn't have involved myself in the region's affairs. Besides in Northern Cross River, are you aware that we have Yalla, Yache, Igedes and other Idomoid speaking ethnic groups there? These people are descendants of Kwararafan kingdom which majority of the Middlebelt tribes descend from and some of them still go to Wukari (Taraba) to acknowledge the superiority of the Aku-Uka. I don't care about your differences among Oro-Anang- Ibibio, all other Nigerians see you guys as one! There was a thread on nairaland where an American based lady (Ibibiogrl) was dividing your people and I countered her on that thread, supporting you and other Akwa-cross folks who were for the unity of your people. Look at it below https://www.nairaland.com/5717435/cross-river-assembly-rejects-ikpeme/15 So I am not interested in the divisions of your people. However, like I said, I will not tolerate you talking down on Ogoja people cos your people are not as united as they are! Unity is not based on language mind you! Anangs, Oros & Ibibios can speak the same language, but u can never compare the bad blood they have among each other to the romance and love Ogoja people have for themselves! Do Croats, Serbs, Slovenes & Bosnians not speak the same language? Do they see eye to eye? Abeegi. 2 Likes |

Nowenuse: Nigerians are tribalistic, even amongst an ethnic group we display some level of tribalism, this shouldn't be used as a yardstick, in eastern and western Nigeria, they also display some level of tribalism even amongst their people, wouldn't want to dive into that so as not to derail, my point is, what ever you witnessed in Edo or Delta isn't limited to these states. Actually Binis will be the problem of an Edoid nation because they will insist that the capital must be in Benin which you Urhobos & Esans will fiercely reject. Edoid groups never felt anything when Benin was the capital during the Midwest region, Bini having superiority complex is nothing compared to what the majority tribes have displayed over the years, a Bini man can never flex his muscle on anyone, ths Urhobos can easily put them in their rightful position, so why should I be worried about how they see themselves? I personally have called them out about their actions in the past especially how they handled the gelegele issue with the Ijaws, so make no mistake, I do not asslick any one. Also, if Edoids have a country, what will be the fate of Itsekiris & Ijaws? Considering how intertwined Itsekiri & Ijaw communities are with Urhobo & Benin communities. How will Warri be divided? The itsekiris won't be in a position where they will be disadvantaged, during the mid-west agitation, the itsekiris were the last to join, infact some Itsekiri groups were against the creation of Midwest because they were scared of being dominated and were actually being favored by the Yoruba led Action group government, they only agreed when they realized it will be impossible for a group to dominate them, even at that Itsekiri witnessed the least votes compared to others. The Ijaws wouldn't want to leave their kits and kins behind, so we might be having a working solution to solve that issue. 2 Likes |

Nowenuse:Every Ibibio/efik/annang know where he belongs, every ijaw no matter the individual ethnic difference he may have with Igbo know where he belongs, I have been to otukpo several times, everyone of them knows where idoma/igede and southern igala belong when the time comes to choose between Biafra and Nigeria. There are even some middle belt groups not included in the map like those in southern Kaduna and Jos that wants to be included without success. Philip effiong junior accused IPOB of not carrying minorities along while some idealistic fools on nairaland who claim to be igbos now accuse IPOB of "dragging minorities".

Nowenuse:Wipe out ibibios? you must be high on herdsmen gunshots. Please lead whoever wants to wipe us out to come and do so. You think we're as little and as insignificant in number as you are ? Rest abeg, you're an insecure ingrate and that's all I know, no one was comparing unity, you brought it here and made it the Crux of the matter by comparing the unity of two different groups, you acknowledge the rest of Nigeria see us as the same but you still use that same mouth to say we don't see eye to eye, are you not drunk ? You can praise nothern/central Cross riverians without dragging Akwa ibomites and efiks Mr, but as long as you keep dragging my people you will not rest, I would advise you to write your will and keep because I doubt herdsmen will allow you live to see your grandkids, your tiny and minute ethnic group will soon go into extinction.

They try to paint everyone who is not in tandem with their domineering agenda bad. i like how they try to make us believe that the west and North are the biggest beneficiaries of one Nigeria and that they are our only problems, i like it when they try to play Saviour, Thinking we've all forgotten who the biggest beneficiaries of the defunct eastern Nigeria were at the expense of our collective wealth. As Far as i'm concerned, there's no difference between an hausa, yoruba or igbo man, they all have domineering tendencies 1 Like |

Blackking98: See this one, with your significant numbers yet you people have been hiding behind your mother's wrappers while Ijaws & Ogonis have been dying in thousands fighting for the entire region. Can u see how the fulani army have dealt with the Ijaw militants mercilessly times without number? Ijaws are the only ones who have shown any form of braveness in that entire SS region. Ogbeni, my people were the ones who withstood the greatest jihad in Subsaharan Africa (Fulani jihad) from the 18th century, while you people were jumping in forests. Did Igbos not chase you people away from Arochukwu and took over the area? If we could not be completely conquered by the fulanis for over 200 years, tell me why we will end today? Mugu.

Nowenuse: Smile. You are really funny. Why have the different tribes co-existing in the South South states not burn down the states since you want us to believe they hate each other so much? Do you know that there is a land dispute between Izzi and Ikwo in Ebonyi State as recent as last year that led to the loss of lives. Not to mention the many disputes between Ezza and Ezillo in the same Ebonyi State. These are so-called brothers o killing themselves because of land. When last did you hear of any crises of tribal origin that resulted in the loss of lives and properties in the South South? If the different tribes can exist peacefully in the so-called Lord Lugard forced union according to Igbos, why can't they do so in a Niger Delta republic that they will willingly join on their own. For the prophets of doom, making a country comprising of the tribes in the South South is challenging, but it is not impossible. A good start is to make the center weak, create states along ethnic lines, and give each state total control of their resources. Majority of the tribes will accept to be part of such a union. Is that not what true federalism/restructuring is about? For the point you raised about Warri, if you have stayed in Warri, you will know there are areas that belong to the Urhobos and areas that belong to the Itsekiris and Ijaws in Warri. And everyone respects their boundaries. For the choice of capital, that can be negotiated. But if the resources of my state is not controlled by the central government and shared at the capital, I don't think I will bother much about where the capital is because it is left to me to develop my state. We have lived peacefully with other Edo brothers in Bendel State, so we can do that again in an Edo nation. 5 Likes |

So after all has been said, implied, and done- with all these back and forth arguments and counter-arguments (including from the ones who didn't even take their time to read through and understand the discourse of the thread, and just jumped in to donate their useless opinions). One major point has to be underlined in highlighted colors, if the so called Niger Republic map is created, BIKO LEAVE ANIOMA OUT. I'm an Anioma son, and speak on the basis of that authority, we go chop una heads comot if una carry una Niger Delta republic enter any part of Anioma, we are clearly Igbos. And we might have one or two internal problems with your Igbos from the East (as all siblings do), but that's something we will sort out among ourselves. All I want is an Igbo nation where the Igbo language, culture, and values will be kept pure and untainted by foreign/alien cultures. An Igbo nation where marriage among Igbos will be kept 100% intact (heck we might even adopt the white supremacy radical methods of keeping one pure race by any means necessary.) Good luck to everyone in their pursuits of happiness and freedom. 7 Likes |
