Hw was d aviation industry before Oduah? How did nigeria get debt relief under OBJ?

Same OBJ(yoruba) plunged us back into debt diluting NOI's efforts. Same reason Ngozi spites him today?

Nna, i ka na-asa aru n'afo......

ba7man: Oh....so its no longer "Thanks to the Igbo"??

na2day!:


Hey smart talk
Since you are comparing the Sikhs to the Igbo , are you aware of what happened to the Sikhs in 1984?

Some Sikhs body guards assassinated Indira Ghandi , the India prime minister and about 25,000 Sikhs (men, women and children) were raped and massacred.

Compared that to the Nzeogwu's coup and the subsequent murder of innocent Igbos.

Yet we never heard of the Sikhs running to secede, declaring a nation.
They are still part and parcel of India till date!

There is no country without its attendant problems, India has been having a worse kind of ethnic intolerance and progroms till the present time, but balkanisation was never an option for them
Please let's find a solution to our problems and stop this hatred, this madness!
Ok!

Lest I forget, India never allowed Pakistan to leave, it was partioned just before independence at the insistence of Jinnah by the British (the wahala those people have caused)!
And they have been at war ever since!

I was just following his line of reasoning.

London-X:
I’ll like to post objectively as a black man and based on my understanding of the unique problems of black folks vis-à-vis Nigeria, around the world. If we all look critically at all the black countries around the world, we’ll find out that there’s no thriving black country on the planet. And the sole reason isn’t farther from all the artificial countries/boundaries we all occupy. All our post-colonial boundaries have stunted our growth – and all the unions were forced. We’re all tribal people with our own unique consciousness, and our identity – albeit with the same struggle. The only way the renaissance is going to happen, is by going to the way we were before colonial rule. And what other country is better to lead that renaissance than the largest black country in the world?

I know some proponents of Nigeria would argue against this by citing the size of Nigeria’s population, and how Nigeria can influence politics on the world scene – in regards to Africa and black people. That’s a fallacy and a pipe dream, to be honest. Nigeria has been given the opportunity for 53 years, and for 53 years, it has failed woefully. Nigeria is inconsequential in international politics, and it will never be. Domestically, Nigeria has also failed its citizens for 53 years – producing caravan-less charvas, who have become burdens to other sovereign countries around the world. If it were a sane world – the UN would have declared Nigeria a war-zone, with big humanitarian crisis – judging by the number of people migrating out of that geographical location. So why do we all want to continue this vicious cycle of UTTER FAILURE? The country is NEVER going to work!! Also, Africa will never be able to defeat Europe and Asia, militarily – in the next 400 years – so why all the noise about needing a powerful black country?

As for my Pan-African family – the only way Pan-Africanism will thrive in Africa is by destroying the colonial boundaries – and letting all the tribal people create their nation-states, based on their in-born identity(culture) and consciousness. That’s how Pan-Europeanism has been able to thrive – and we need to take a cue from Europe – by using tribalism, to create a wider union. When people are allowed to operate freely and independently – then, they’ll be willing to be part of a larger umbrella body – albeit still having their own destiny in their own hands.

I have a dream that I’ll live long enough to see Yoruba, Igbo, SS, Hausa/Fulani, Tuaregs, Cabinda, Southern Cameroon, Somaliland, Puntland etc. in their own countries.

We all need to start today and work towards the disintegration of Nigeria.

ba7man: I thought the Igbos were responsible for making Lagos what it?? Oh, now its the colonials. You guys have a false impression of yourselves. Apart from Ladipo,Computer Village and Alaba market, your perceived dominance ends....Places Fashola is even planning to destroy and re-Construct. Just be thankful we're good hosts and move on with life, if Lagos was in the north and the Northerners read all you say on NL, just pack your bags and run cuz lives will definitely be lost.

SmartTalk:

Wow, I thought I was explicit on that post. Oh well, let me break it down so that you can understand. I was responding to someone posting pictures of Lagos before Nigeria. That means Lagos was what it was at that time because of the colonials. And even then, the colonials pooled resources from other parts of Nigeria to fund infrastructural development in Lagos. Now, we have independence, a huge part of what Lagos is today is thanks to the contribution of other parts of Nigeria, and yes that includes the Igbo. I hope you get it now.

And it seems you see the North as an example worth following. While the Igbo do participate in the Northern economy to the level that they are allowed, I would not use the North as any kind of yardstick. But if you want the SW to resemble the North, be my guest. Just start with your own state before you decimate Lagos. That would give us time to sell all our assets in Lagos and leave it for you. And I think it is the residents of Lagos, from whatever origin, that should be thankful for investments from entrepreneurs, not the other way round.

ba7man: You sound reasonable. My post was directed at an individual that posted that dumb notion that "Igbos own Lagos and what not" but i'm glad you agree its a collective effort. I do not see the North worth emmulating, I find their habit of being so quick to kill barbaric......but it goes out to your tribes men that say they're dominating and trash about the very region that welcomed them and hosts them. You don't do that.....not when you live and do business in their midst. The unguarded utterances of a few can put even the large number of innocent at risk.

ba7man: No problem dear. Your name shows you're Igbo but frankly i have nothing against Igbos. But as with every tribe, there are two kinds. (1) The nice, de-tribalized ones, there are a lot that grew up in Lagos and i see them as Lagosians. (2) The lousy, dumb, boastful ones that utter statements that can put the whole tribe in trouble. I guess its hate stories told to them about the civil-war that has transcended generations.

defashan: South East (ibos) will suffer the most.

They are scattered all over the world because their place is not habitable.

Their behaviours will catch up with them and they will suffer xenophobic attacks.

Port harcourt ikwerre will deny them and they will be landlocked like uganda etc.infact south south will deny them,they will seek support from ika people of delta and found none.

Prices of food will skyrocket there cos they dont give priority to agriculture..

Bad leadership and internal squabble will consume them.

Their elite will return to USA and uk leaving the uwazurikes,chris uba and the orji kalus to finally set the whole place on fire.

Crime will be rampant,it will be free for all.

Eventually they will beg Nigerians to forgive them but it will be too late.

Willywilly4:
Take it or leave it that your brother is a worthless poor old man,

Eziachi:
Nice to know prophet that you can see veryy clear on this issue.


Scattered or reside all over the world? Which part is uninhabitable for you since you have never left the village you was born, to cross the Niger?


Which behaviour is that? The Americans, British, Gabonese or the Cameroonians are not complaining. In fact, the biggest market in Cameroon is officially named Biafra market. You need to get out of your village sometimes.


We must be on the same page with your sentiment as AWORI people of Lagos will also deny you, infact Benin republic or ADEBAYORS of Togo will deny you as well, you will seek support from iTSHEKIRI people of Delta and you will found non, while the Ijaw hacked into Ondo by Justice IRIKIFE/OBJ in their boundary adjustment magic of the 70s to make Ondo over night oil producing area will run back to the rest of their people.
[b][/b]

You knew this fact because the people of Abakaliki, Ohaozara, Nteje, Afikpo, Ezza, Agbo, Ohaji have all retired from farming and now works in the casinos.


Yes bad leadership and internal squabbles like the ones that kick starts the Nigerian progrom of the 60s like Awo vs Akintola, Awo vs Akinjide/Akintolye/Abiola of 1979, Ajasin vs Aomoboriowo, Oluloye vs Bola Ige, Adedibu vs the rest, Oni vs Alafin, Ife vs Madekeke,Ibadan vs Ogbomosho etc.


Yes your living elites stays in exile, thinking that Abacha is still alive, while the likes of OBJ, Tinubu,Gov Oni, Fayose, Tafa Balogun will continue to smoother themselves with love and kisses with each other.While the dead love ones like Bola Ige, Abiola, funsho williams, Dr Daramola, Dipo Dina etc will be resurrected to a new life of no assassins.


Yes, the first and the last Nigerian executed at the Bar beach by Buhari/Idiagbo govt for drug trafficking, Oyelusi the first Nigerian to face public execution for armed robbery will all be resurrected into the open arm of Tokyo, saint Bode George, right honorable senator Omisire to make sure you remained the only crime free country in the world.


This fantasy begging of yours might never happen ever, unless Iraqi Kurds might as well ask Saddam to come back to life and rule them again.

rosebowl01: To settle all this matter and prove to the Yorubas that you are the ones "developing the economy" and "superior", why can't the Igbos simply abandon Lagos and SW, and relocate East. In a few years(say 5), we'll know who is right after all.

Son-Of-El:


you are the most senseless and myopic of all the igbohaters on this thread. You can't beat igbo literary and scientific achievements both home and abroad. Live with it, or better still sip chilled otapiapia.

Mighty Sparrow:

Where are they? Emagwuli who was trained.in Akure SW ngozi Okonjo - Iweala trained in International school, Ibadan and a host of them. How many are trained from Onitsha or Aba market? Name any patented invention of igbo man home or abroad.

eggheaders:


your shyte main question is what exactly that yorubas ain't manufacturing things. I gave you pottery and craftmanship even to fix common rat hole in your kitchen you need to import people from south west. essential service are so expensive in your region cause no one is picking up craftsmanship. ain't willing to school you in aviation matters since you have not been to any airport before anambra does not own one. go figure why ngo settled the debt and her elevation in the internation banking thieves organization afterwards and why obj kick her out. you must be so dense to say nigeria coporate world is failed you know how much mtn and the oil guys rakes annually. pre civil war you guys ain't controlling nada. same igbo south east governors that shares the worst governors spot with northern governors. even running Alaba market is like a tug of war for your folks here. you really need to go read oby lectures at unn convocation to cure your ignorance of who pushed you back to debts. since her challenge how many of the gej p.r guys has been able to man up to her debate

ngozievergreen:

still havent answered my main question and u went ahead to write rubbish just because u think u have to reply me or else it means defeat.

Am talking of the positive input yorubas put in oil industries dat u didnt even create and u are asking me weda i know how much d workers earn. Nnaa, u are on a long thing. D real Baboons.
just leave dat management of Foreign companies in Nigeria that u inherited from igbos because that is the height of your inefficiency. Give me sth tangible.

When u are ready to ansa me, tell me. Then u also give me evidence to prove easterners are not leading in education now.

django1:

First, ibadan is mega right now, at least in comparison to south eastern cities!

Secondly, haven't you heard of 'femi johnson' and 'aje' towers? Both are nothing less than 20 stories high, maybe you should visit IB sometimes and cure your ignorance!

pazienza: Wow! Was really impressed by our anioma brothers. You guys are too much, igboland can never be complete without anioma. You guys are the bomb!

Chai! Even a brother from Oyigbo contributed.

Our enemies thought they could divide us,but it's obvious that they have failed.

I can't wait for the republic of Alaigbo,i have no doubt in my heart that it would be a better a country than nigeria.

Igbo amaka.

kingoflag:
I got no family on here.

eggheaders:

madam definitely you lack brains mehn. are you this dumb or you just pretending to be so?? foreign oil firms ain't complaining of the yorubas managing their affairs that why they ain't closing shop or relocating you asked for yorubas impact in this firm I referred you to get a copy of their annual turnovers and see maybe they are making profit or not. igbos ain't managing Jack shyte except their shops in Alaba and okirika trade. your best administration bull crap talk is so evidence in the ways your governors are turning your states to hell-holes. if your next post is as dumb as this one I won't be honuring you with a reply. education evidence ain't a big deal go to various nysc orientation camps nationwide and go decipher the lingual franca in this places. and go compare the amount of graduates in okitipupa with the whole of anambra and come here with your result.

Balkan: Let me teach you slowpoke a little bit of Lagos state history. Commodore Ndubisi Kanu, 1977-1978, Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe 1978 -1979. All these are Igbo men that governed Lagos state. You seem to be ignorant of your surroundings. You are a finished tribe, deal with it. We are in Lagos the way other tribes are in Lagos. We have come to claim back our possession your people tried to elude us during the war. Their is nothing your envy can do for you. Lagos is an Annex of Igbo land, try to live with it. You cant stop a moving train. We are dominating and intimidating you in your so called state are you not ashamed? The hatred fow the Jews all over the middle east is because the can tun sand into gold. We are the Jews my brother deal with That

I have checked and found out that there has never been a Youruba Governor in Igbo land.

Balkan: let make some clarification to you. An Igbo man is the last person to ask your tribe when dealing with anybody both in business and in employment . They always allow merit to supersede any kind of favouritism . Yorubas trive more in boad room politics and power play. Mediocrity is their second name. Back biting and tribalism. That is why most companies they are at the head always go bankrupt .

What is their fear? You guys know very well that an Igbo man will floor you and make you worthless wherever there is competition. It's this mediocrity tha has kept Nigeria in this situation. Check out the ministers appointed by Nigeria government and check their scorer card. Igbos are moving and driving the economy of Nigeria. Very soon you will know where the power lies in a state. Those tribes that have ruled Nigeria for decades dont have anything to show for it in their regions. To be the president does not make your tribe any better.

What ever a Yoruba man steals from the government will always end up in an Igbo mans pocket. Unless you want to chew the cash and swallow it raw. You will end up buying one thing or the other computers, cars , electronics ,wears, building materials, stationery, name any thing you can think of and I will tell you that Igbos are behind it.

Check the statistics of investment eg properties, plazas, hotels, shops, name anything you can think of in ABUJA that does not belong to an Igbo man. I don't want to talk about Lagos state because we have reclaimed it.

Guy you need to advice yourself wisely. Those jobs that are making you think you are doing well are other people's business foreign companies and they can lay you off anytime the want. Start your own biz. Today

Oando is Nigeria
Premium Times
Published: February 23,2012


Wale Tinubu and Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Alison-Maduekwe

Oando Plc, which is aiming to become one of Africa’s largest integrated energy solutions providers, has emerged Nigeria Best Company during the 12th Nigeria Oil and Gas (NOG) Conference in Abuja.
The award, which was announced at a special gala/dinner sponsored by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in honour of participants in the conference, also saw ExxonMobil being named as winner of the Best Corporate Social Responsibility award, while Shell Companies in Nigeria won the Best Company in Local Content Development and Niger Dock the Best Project Company of the Year.

NNPC Group Managing Director, Austen Oniwon, who presented Oando’s award to the company’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Wale Tinubu, said the awards were in recognition of the various companies’ impressive investment programmes in the country’s oil and gas sector industry.
Mr. Oniwon said Oando, which was one of Platinum sponsors of the conference, deserved the award for its active role in all levels of the industry, including the upstream, mid-stream and the downstream sectors of the oil and gas sector.
“The award is well-deserved based on Oando’s significant presence and impact in the country’s oil and gas sector,” Mr. Oniwon said. “Oando contribution to the growth of the industry is worthy of emulation by other players in all ramifications.”

The NNPC boss who praised the organisers of the conference, which also featured exhibitions, described this year’s conference as unique in more ways than one, pointing out that the successes recorded would encourage the corporation to continue supporting it to provide the forum for stakeholders to interact and discuss issues affecting the sector.
CWC Group and Chairman of the 2012 NOG Conference, Alirio Parra, said Oando’s multi-sectoral investment portfolio in Nigeria and abroad has put the company in unassailable leadership position as Nigeria’s integrated energy company judging by the success stories of its various subsidiaries in the entire energy chain, which straddles products marketing, supply and training, gas and power, refining as well as exploration and production.

“Oando is a home grown company operating at international standard and quality for many years,” Mr. Parra said. “The company represents a strong statement in support of the clamour of indigenous operators to be given more opportunity to participate in the development of Nigeria’s oil and gas resources. The company is also a challenge for other indigenous oil and gas companies.”
