Niger Delta; A Slave Name We Must Get Rid Of In Order To Be Truly Free
No one in his or her right senses prides with the name 'Niger Delta' as an identity. Niger Delta as a name, describes a place where the British government, through the help of the Fulani, are stealing natural resources belonging to the indigenous people in Biafra land.
In places they merged and named Niger Delta, you would see Ijaw, Efik, Igbo, Uroboh etc. So when one say, 'I am Niger Deltan', you can't interpret exactly who such a person is or where he comes from. You don't know if he is Igbo, Ijaw or Efik.
Niger Delta is just A BUSINESS NAME bestowed on us by the trickish British government so as to perfectly insert their divide and rule strategy. No one that thinks deep about his real origin will ever describe himself as a Niger Deltan. The name automatically overshadows who you truly are and hides your identity.
Some feel that shouting Niger Delta makes the Igbo people carved into it become different from other Igbo people. That is why you see some misguided Hausa Fulani and Yoruba people always lament that Igbo people should leave Niger Delta alone.

But who is a Niger Deltan?
Is it that Efik man?
The Ijaw man or the Igbo man? What makes the Igbo man from Egbema, Elele, Asaba, Ogwashiukwu, Ndoni etc different from an Igbo man from Nnewi, Urualla and Ngwa? Some would say that they are in the so called 'South South' region, while others are in South East. But again, the Ijaws in South-south are exactly the same with the Ijaws they carved into the Western part of the country. This is exactly how Nigeria have used years of misinformation to distort brains of lots of people and forced them to carry badges of slavery and even brag with it. They made them to fight each other and never to unite as one. This is because in their disunity, those for whom Nigeria was created continue to gain massively.
Britain in their wisdom refused to fight wars to suppress the move for independence in Nigeria. They have really studied the space they called Northern and Southern protectorates and understood that for them to keep ruling indirectly, they need to merge the spaces together. It is never to help feed the North with southern resources as they claimed. It was solely for the interest of Britain.
How can you feed a Northern region that has fertile land for agriculture? Agricultural lands that when harnessed can produce food that can feed the entire Africa. A region with lands filled with lots of natural resources. How can you say you are merging the two distinct regions to feed a people capable of feeding the entire Africa?
The problem with us is that we continue teaching our young ones lies written by minds brainwashedby the whites without asking proper questions. That's why we still teach people how Mongo Park discovered River Niger. A river our forefathers navigated many years before the so called Mongo Park was born.
I have started putting everything I was told into scrutiny. The words of Ahmadu Bello comes to mind here. This descendant of Uthman Dan Fodio confidently said:
“The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our grandfather, Othman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We must use the minorities in the North as willing tools and the South as a conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us or have control over their future.”
These words from Ahmadu Bello isn't directly from this man. It is the handiwork of Britain. Britain have seen that the only way to keep their hold on their colony and still dictate what happens is to empower the Fulani. So Britain became the friends of the Fulani and makes them think they are favoring them. Till this day, the Fulani have been following the mandate of Bello, without knowing that they are indeed following the plans of Britain, destroying the North while making sure the British government keeps ruling indirectly.
After the war, Britain effectively used the Fulani to divide the East into South South and South East; and further divided them into Niger Deltans and non-Niger Deltans. Tell me how the Fulani who are majorly cattle rearers managed to think out in 1967/70 how to divide the East and make brothers fight against each other, while Britain and the Fulani elites steal them dry. They were simply carrying out the plans of the British government, who feared the intelligence of Biafrans in the East and desperately want to keep them down.
Today, while the Fulani are being used by Britain to keep the entire East down, 87% of poor people according to World Bank survey are in their Northern Region. The North has become the poverty capital of the world. With terrorism destroying the entire region.
Like I said earlier, Niger Delta is never an identity. They are two English words that have no place in our language and culture. It is a tool of slavery and marginalization. It is a name that was used to force people to carry their badge of slavery with pride and honor.
You that still pride yourself as a Niger Deltan, when you rediscover yourself, you will understand how foolish you were, when you help foreigners bury your identity.
The British knows about the killing of Adaka Boro. Leaving him alive after the war posed a great danger for them. The British ambassador indirectly ruled Nigeria after the war.
Adaka Boro fought against the emergence of Biafra. He fought alongside the Fulani to the decimation of Biafrans, which included his own people. He must have reached an agreement with them. Don't forget that Adaka Boro has already led a 2 weeks failed revolution for the establishment of an Ijaw nation he called Niger Delta Republic. They must have promised him something. Something they can't keep. Britain, the brain behind everything must have told Yakubu Gowon that Adaka Boro should not be allowed to live.
Subsequently, Adaka Boro was summarily executed by the Nigeria military, at the tail end of the war, after he successfully fought for them.
The move for Britain to keep that region down was unprecedented. Ken Saro Wiwa was a beloved of the Nigeria government. He is Ogoni, but took the side of the Fulani during the genocide against Biafra. After the war, he was murdered by the British, using their foot soldiers the Fulani.
Ken Saro Wiwa was against the exploitation of his own people and the pollution of his land by the British oil company. He took them to Court, won and stopped them from lifting oil from Ogoni land. This didn't go down well with the British. The plan to put Ken away began. He was roped into the case of the youths that angrily murdered some Ogoni Chiefs working for the oppressors of their own people. They said Ken and his group masterminded the killing. He was tried together with other 8 persons and they were unjustly convicted, sentenced to death and hanged. Again he was killed by the same people that he supported against Biafra.
The pollution in the so called Niger Delta (slave name) is something that can't be cleaned in the next 50years. There is absolutely no hope for Agriculture there. No drinking water. The youths of the place have been given pipeline guard contract job. They man the pipelines while the Fulani owns the oil wells in their backyard and Britain gets millions of dollars on daily basis, while they live in abject poverty.

We must learn from history.

Britain and the Fulani have truly committed lots of atrocities.

The harm has been done, we shouldn't hit fists over spilt milk. We should think a way forward; a way better.

Why would someone who is not from the Niger Delta be angry at a name we chose?
In the event of a break up, there's not one person in the South South who wants to be part of Biafra, Oduduwa or Arewa republics.
We want to be the United Niger Delta Republic, if you don't like it, you know what to do.

Says a non-Igbo speaking person from the ND trying to exhibit "land grab" for the Igbo-speaking people in ND(Ikwerres,Aniomas, etches, Isobos etc) to join them. As far as I'm concerned, all Igbo-speaking tribes in the South South is BIAFRA! We are no longer forcing other non Igbos in the SS to join the struggle!

PS: NwaAsaba!

The fraud "Niger Delta" came in 1966. The blessed BIAFARA kingdom was in existence since 16th century. Biafra kingdom was from the Quorra river( present day River Niger) to the Congos!

The Biafra war is a war to control the oil of the Niger Deltas, there is wouldn't be much difference in the diverse Biafra nation being proposed by the 'greedy' Igbos from Nigeria but this time around it will only give the greedy Igbo total control of the oil.

My problem is the people in that area OWING up to the name given to them to make them small and be conquered. THE OLD Eastern region ( Biafra) is homogenous and the same people . Under one United Biafra we 'll be undefeated . Niger delta or south south is a fulani name to steal the o i l and kill u and no body says anything . See what the fulani army is doing in Bayelsa iburning down houses which they cannot do in the North . Be wise. Biafrans unite . United u stand.and divided u fall
