I'm a niger deltan, from the SS of nigeria(delta state to be specific), i've been reading so many news on biafra lately on nairaland and it interested me so much. Should the Ibos achieve their biafra dream, what'll be the fate and hope of the SS? Will the south west too not cooperate with the north to frustate the common S.Southerner. This is a call to the SS let's not be quiet and allow ibos go like that, let's them whether we feel we have the better resources and they do not. One thing I've come to realise is that whether they only engage in buying and selling, the average ibo man will survive as long as there's a will and self determination. Let's not be blind, let's not allow the fear of the unknown to prevent us from making this move or later we may be the ones calling for our own 'niger delta republic' yes our own country. Let's do this to prevent a future catastrophe. Okay, should the Ibos go, will there not be a parasitic association between the SS, SW and the North. They depend on our oil to develop their own states while in return we have little to gain from them. Should they go, what makes us think the northerners and their wife(SW) will not bestow upon us the ill treatments given to ibos. Let's think twice now, let's and fight for biafra or we may live to regret it later and by then it may be too late.

You are wrong

*dont quote me*

Even if the eastern bloc will eventually pull out of Nigeria I suggest we drop the name Biafra and look for another name entirely for the new country.

Just my thinking though...

Addax Petroleum hits new discovery in Nigeria

Addax acquires shallow water exploration license in Nigeria

Addax Petroleum Corporation reports a significant onshore oil discovery from the Njaba 2 well (formally Okaka) currently drilling in the eastern part of the OML124 license area in Nigeria. Addax Petroleum has a 100 per cent working interest under a Production Sharing Contract covering the OML124 license area, whereby the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation is the concessionaire. Addax Petroleum currently produces approximately six thousand barrels per day from the Ossu and Izombe fields in OML124, which is located within the stable and peaceful Imo State.

And that just Imo State alone. Abia, and Anambra are already part of Oil producing state as Imo. And if all these places have oil, what stops Enugu and Ebonyi from having similar!

Let's assume for a moment that Igbos don't have resources (read Oil and Gas), which do you think is more rewarding -sharing N100 among 6 people or sharing it between 2? Beside the abundant natural resources, Igbos have abundant human resources, who are very highly educated, diligent, creative, and enterprising with great believe in their ability, and amazing resilience, erroneously construed as arrogance and domination!

In anycase, Igbo are prepared to go it alone, the momentum is gathering, and it will be the single most discussed topic/event in this dispensation. Our motto as Igbo continue to be "Live and let live; and be your brother's keeper!" People who dwell in the South South region will always have a place in Igboland as a result of our shared past and perhaps common destiny.

us or stay on your own or with Nigeria, the choice is yours!

exactly... d name Biafra doesn't sound nice at all....at de end of it all,igbos might claim they brought into being the Biafran state....we just need a new name...Biafra is not ideal

As a SWerner, I am fully in of a separate country for the people of the SE/SS. Why should only a region be the provider of wealth for the rest of the country? It is very unfair imo.

Please accelerate your plan and live happily ever after.

Many of us in the SW are actually tired of being in the same country with those who don't want to be called Nigerians and whose actions are mostly at variance with what is best for the name Nigeria.

That is fine. Then you can have your Oduduwa Republic too.

EUROBOMBER:

Bother not . We will be fine with the name Nigeria. You just exit as quickly as possible.

Let me quickly add here that the Igbos will NOT force any tribe in the Niger Delta to be part of us before some people start running their mouths on this thread.

The Igbo will accept any tribe that would prefer to stay with us and any tribe that don't want to stay with us will be free to form their own country or whatever group they please.

Nobody is forcing anybody here oo.

Ok, enjoy.

With your last sentence, I take it that somehow you believe that you and your likes actually contribute more to the development, advancement and growth of Nigeria than the much villified Biafrans. How? Can you give instances? Tafa balogun? Bode Gorge? Obasanjo and his "come and chop" crew? What areas are your "actions" better than those whose are "mostly at variance with what is best for the name Nigeria"? In sports? Academia? istration? Politics? Contributions to the national purse? Or do you mean in crime? Drug peddling? Internet scams? Murder? Do you want me to torment you with some humbling statistics? You guys can be very delusional sometimes. The Biafrans want out because the rest of you emboldened by your parochial politics have become too parasitic for any meaningfull political and economic progress to be made. It is because you are destroying the country not the other way round.

I am not prepared to argue anything here. I just lent my voice to your plan of secession so you know that some of us actually prefer living separately from you guys.

Please take steps to actualize it and stop disturbing us here; after all, the actions to secede must be taken offline.

Exactly. Biafra sounds too Igbotic enough. I had mentioned this earlier before somewhere. A name such as 'Federation of Lower Niger' would be perfect. Every member of SE/SS would feel an absolute sense of belonging.

you see why I dey always diss them chest-beaters abi?

Your father has 6 sons and you are the youngest, the most protected and trusted. The Treasures of the family is in your care. Your immediate senior, who is known to be greedy, selfish, avaricious and smart is found to be wooing you to cooperate so that the two of you can keep the family Treasures to the two of you alone and to the detriment of your Four other seniors. What do think that your four other seniors would do to the two of you, shameless arsonists and thieves? They would fetch machine guns to destroy the two of you before you lay your dirty thiefry fingers any further on the family Treasures. So my brothers, Messrs ss and se, be warned before you heap the mother of all wars on your greedy heads. Your four senior brothers are warning you to stop your reckless rascality and unreasonableness. Bokoharam came to Nigeria not for the desert-empty ne but to reconnoitre to get the family Treasures in the ss before the se is aware. May the God of Nigeria help us all.

We can also do without 'Niger' in the new name!

There is Niger Republic, Nigeria, and Niger State. Surely 'Niger' is becoming boring! And what's "Igbotic" about the name Biafra coined by Ijaw chiefs and while at it, what's wrong with been "Igbotic''?

Nothing. . . It just sound tooo idiotic

I would rather you don't us
Sorry but your betrayal that of our "hosts" because yours was the the back-stabbing of a "brother"
The only thing you people have going for you is oil and the price is tumbling as nations shift to greener energies
You people are only going to be parasites to us in a few decades and as you turned your back on us and ed our enemies in our hour of need, we ask to lie on your mat as you lay it

Guy, pls stop this nonsense immediately. Am a Niger delta son too but I don't ur position here. How can I/we blindly the Igbo's with their Biafran nonsense just because GEJ our brother lost an open contest election? Think of Niger Delta Republic and not Biafra

You are talking nonsense bro, who told you its open contest? cant you see the handwriting on the wall? are you so deaf or dumb? the SE can not leave without their brother SS, we should clamour for change of the name BIAFRA not leaving them behind. Maybe you are afraid to loose your father properties in lagos or Abuja. We the SS must the Igbos in this struggle or we regret later. Am a full born Deltan from Anioma

if you study well you will know that the name ''BIAFRA''came from SS, biafra has everythin in place as a country.

here's a structured map i found.. only aniocha is similar to igbo
