“It smacks of complete mockery and disregard for the very concept of ‘self-determination’ if someone somewhere must redraw maps at his whims and caprices – so Neo-colonially – and pretend to have the power to choose where historically autonomous or indigenous ethnic groups must belong without their consent.
That comes across as tactical declaration of war. If our laws mean anything, it must be an act of treason to attempt to force any ethnic group out of Nigeria into that thoughtless agenda, especially without their consent. When did we, as Urhobo, ever sit down and agree with the ‘map men’ to include us in their Biafra? You just wake up to stoke trouble in the name of ‘self-determination’.
If you have a right to ‘self-determination’ but equally believe you must ‘determine’ for others then you have even failed before you began. I respect your right. Respect mine.
I am Urhoboman in Nigeria.”
The post is very explicit. If the Yoruba want to leave Nigeria, do they have the right to just wake up and draw a map that includes the tribes in Edo or Delta State? They do not except with the consent of those tribes. Very clear post.
True talk this igbos ‘re thieves

Now, don’t let us devalue or undervalue this. This post has not undermined the rights of the agitators. We are all on a life support. Our very existence depends on the cord that binds us. Can anyone opts out? The post does not disagree. But since all of us agreed to the “binding,” can someone “unilaterally” sever the cord? He opposes to that. And I agree with him. Someone else can disagree. It only calls for reasonableness. Not insults or abuses. If one group must go, we must ALL think it over and consider the effects on ALL of us, including the group that is “severing” the cord. There must be consultation.
@Mr. Henry Efe Duku, how can you say that they should expect your right? They will regard it as treasonable because they believe they have the right to decide for everybody in the South South. They will start calling you names now and brand you a coward, a slave and a monkey in the zoo. To them it is their right to decide who will be a Biafran and the boundary of Biafran. As far as they concerned the whole of South South is part of their Biafra, whether the people of South South like it or not. What a way to think?
Well on point. This is the fallacy pro-biafran agitators live with. They seem to forget that in 1967 there was Eastern region but today there are SE and SS regions, and both regions have their own identities and agitations.
The only reason the igbos want the SouthSouth as part of Biafra is simply for their OIL and easy access to the SEA not out of love.
If Biafra succeeds in conscripting the SS States, they soon become minority in the Biafra nation and as it is typical of igbos in their relationships with their hosts, their aims as the majority tribe will be to annex the lands and properties of the minorities and Lord it over them.
Believe me, the greatest mistakes by any South South State is to agree to be part of the fraud called Biafra.
