Don't flatter yourselves.

Notice that southern Cameroonian tribes were the ones championing this ambazonia movement, yet the referendum would include parts of Nigeria, why do you think it's so?

It's simple. Because the colonial powers only deal with colonial maps, and the colonial map of German Cameroon that was shared by Britain and France after Germany lost the WW2, is what is being used to create this new country.
Hence Nigeria is being forced to vomit parts of Cameroon German it swallowed While Cameroon itself is forced to do the same.

IPOB believe that the colonial masters would only recognize Eastern region as a colonial entity and not Igboland.
That's why they are trying to woo the minorities, because it would be impossible to get an independent Igbo republic without first getting independent Eastern region approved.

Alternatively, because of our Anioma brothers that using Eastern region map would leave trapped in Nigeria, IPOB is considering the 1906 colonial Southern Nigeria map, that includes all southern Nigeria minus Yorubaland. It also include Igala and Idoma lands in Benue.


That's another colonial map that could be used, and that's why you feel like they are wooing those groups in that map. Igbo nationalists like myself know this. But we don't think it's worth the insults coming from those non Igbo groups.

The idea is to use those tribes to gain independence from Nigeria. And thereafter dump you all to form our Igbo republic. Whatever you do with yourselves thereafter. Is none of our business.

Don't think you are special or that Ndiigbo want anything from you. It's the colonial maps that is leaving us with no option but to negotiate with you lots.

Even the Loyal Niger Congress, mostly championed by Niger deltans also adopted the 1906 colonial map.

Its got nothing to do with Biafra. If the minorities feel that they want a separate country called Niger Delta Republic or any other name, they had better organise themselves and start pushing for that. The reason is that of all those who are currently seeking separate country, Niger Delta Republic will be the most difficult to actualise.

If Igbos go for Biafra, it will be easier because they are one tribe, one language and one culture

If Yorubas go for Oduduwa Republic, it will be easier because it is one tribe, one language and one culture

If Hausa/Fulani go for Arewa, it will be easier for them for the same reason.

But if the Niger Delta goes for Niger Delta Republic, it will be very difficult to achieve because you have over 30 tribes, different languages and cultures. To unify all of them will be almost impossible.

So if Nigeria breaks up, and their is no movement that is championing the cause of Niger Delta Republic, what is most likely to happen is that each of the tribes in the Niger Delta will have no choice but to choose which they want to go with, Oduduwa Republic, Arewa Republic or Biafra.

here you're wrong. Urhobos have militants, ogoni too, Efik too, ibibio too so ijaws don't have the Monopoly of violence so relax we'll sort ourselves out

Sentiments aside, nature blessed the Niger Delta with natural resources but ended up undermining it by making it a Babelian society.

To be honest with you, a Nigerian Delta Rep will sink into a civil war no sooner it gains independence. South Sudan is an example of how a heterogeneous and resource rich country will decend into chaos once left on their own. Ijaw will be the greatest undoing to any nation it is part of and I will give you reasons.

1. They have a topography that makes guerilla warfare easy and convenient to embark on.

2. They have oil resources that can sustain any warlord who wants to fight the government.

3. They don't believe in deplomacy rather they are aggressive and voilent when going for what they want, naturally lazy and are a band of disjointed ethnicity with many dissimilar subgroups.

I have studied the disparate ethnic groups in the Niger Delta and Ijaws are the ones that would destabilize any country that forms there. Already, they are fighting with virtually all its neighbors at the moment and the formation of a new country will cause the faultlines to deepen since there won't be external bigger enemies to fight.

Igbos will have a moderating influence if the whole region becomes one country but even at that it is still too risky for me compared to an only Igbo country that will have relative peace and stability.

Lastly, I don't think there is ever any state, least of all in Africa that has just one ethnic group so it may be difficult for the UN to grant an only Igbo country but even if we are to go together, I will always support a country where every region is autonomous to an extent.

It's only In Africa that you don't find one country with one or just a handful of ethnic groups, Rwanda that just has two see how they're prospering although after years of bloodbath. They know Africans are really divided along ethnic lines and hence always mix ethnic groups together, if a single ethnic group has its own country eg oodudwa for Yoruba and Biafra for igbos honestly this two countries will give the world powers a run for their money, but instead they'll add minorities to this countries thereby causing another mini Nigeria and we'll be busy fighting ourselves instead of thinking of how to catch up with them.

The funny thing is that most of you don't reason logically instead you allow emotions to override everything.

Let me inform you that UN cannot support the creation of a country they know will easily go into a civil war the very next minute.

Before you talk about presenting your case to the UN that you're seeking for independence, you will have to do the following:

Get the support of all the ethnicities that make up the Niger Delta. Now this is where you will encounter the first problem. Will the Itshekiri agree to be in the same country with the Ijaws knowing that they will be at their mercy and considering the Warri question? What about the Ikwerre, will they be comfortable to be in a country with the Ijaws knowing what that means to their current dominant position in P.H?

What about the Asa/Ndoki Igbos as well as the Egbema, do you think they will agree to go with Niger Delta when their immediate kiths and kin in Abia and Imo states respectively will be in another country?

Look at the map of SS, does that map seem realistic and logical? That map is shapeless and can't fly once it gets to the UN table.

Now contrast these challenges we the Igbos that are homogeneous and thus no need to start negotiating with others, already going for Biafra, has the global spread and unity of purpose to mount worldwide pressure etc. and yet you think you can easily get yours before Biafra??

No sense! No logic!!

There are Igbos too in the so-called SS, so why not tell me your ethnic group or are they so insignificant that you must lump all others together for you to be noticeable??

I can wager a bet that there are more Igbos in the so-called SS than your little tribe you're too ashamed to mention.

Look at abia state, when you cross the rivers state boundary to abia state, from azumini to aba to ukwa west and it's environs all you see is dirts and deathtrap roads.

that is why they are obsess with Niger deltans. If you merge enugu, abia and imo together it is not up to cross river state- 20,156kmsq. If you merge the other two anambra and ebonyi together it is not up to delta state- 17,698kmsq. That is why these Igbos are not content with their SE rather they are looking for minorities land to grab. These Igbos are bunch of delusional ignoramus.
