It's the undetermination(Slavish mentality) of our riverine brothers(south-south) that seems to keep Nigeria firm.
The creation of these undetermined states was for...
1) To create disunity which we face today and to take away our resources, manpower and economic future.
2) To discourage Igbos from seeking secession and/or to win the war.
3) Was the creation of the north for the effective management of northern interest with our regional resources.

May it impress you to know that, while we keep fighting ourselves as imaginary enemies, Northerners are joyously taking over and owning 85% of our oil wells and other natural resources, while the West(Yoruba) takes the remaining i.e using the surplus from our land(Biafraland) to offset the deficit in the North while leaving our region undeveloped;
I think its high time we go down to the real business of paying ourselves the courtesy of being blunt.

The Igbos, naturally like freedom and wish others freedom as well, but it's only a black man with a black sense that will mistake Biafra agitation for oil; Biafra agitation has nothing to do with the hydrocarbon crude oil deposit in Niger Delta as they call it;
Imo, Abia and Anambra are currently oil-producing states with huge natural gas reserves, not forgetting the enormous untapped coal deposit at Enugu and many hidden treasures in Ebonyi.
Igbos have much access to the sea including through River Niger.

I wonder who told you that Igbos are fighting for Biafra because of oil and want us(south-south) to join so they can take over our oil when in essence, Igbo land is naturally blessed.

To keep the record straight, many oil-rich communities in these undetermined South-south states are core Igbo land, but was carved out and ceded to our land(south-south) to render Alaigbo landlocked which is the myth we have today.

Most of you don't know that,
~Oil rich Obigbo is pure Ndoki and have over 50 oil wells, but was ceded to River state in 1976.
~Oil rich Egbema and Ndoni Igbo communities were also ceded to River state.
~Ohugbu, an oil-rich Ndoki community was ceded to Akwa Ibom state.
   And lots more.

Most of us are far away from our brain because we fail to know the truth; Those that separated us still see us as one people, but I wonder why we see ourselves as strangers and imaginary enemies.

For the fact that Igbos are championing the agitation for the Restoration of Biafra, preaching unity to us and calling on us to join hands and restore Biafra doesn't mean that they are imposing Biafra on us to take over our oil, neither do they want to use us and get freedom (Biafra) as we think.

They are preaching Biafra to us because we don't know our history neither do we know the meaning of freedom; We see slavery as part of life because we have an illusion of freedom, we think guiding pipelines in our own land is normal.

Most of us shouting our oil-our oil don't even know how raw crude oil looks like, neither do we know where it's located.
Can we sincerely tell ourselves that Igbos are colonists, wanting to take over our resources? How many oil wells are presently owned by an Igbo man in Niger Delta and Nigeria as a whole..?

At this crucial time, we need to look beyond all the senseless fabricated lies against the Igbos and face reality.

We're all Biafrans, our undetermined fate in the face of this present agitation for the Restoration of Biafra is worrisome and gives hope to our enemies; Biafra will be 100% regional autonomy.
