u have some point

Idrismusty97:
With significant findings in the North, Nigeria would only practice true Federalism. Nigeria unity now goes beyond oil with major world powers backing. When the North intends to secede in the 50's was it because of oil?

EUROBOMBER:
The reason why the north fought to keep Nigeria one was because of crude oil. The Nigerian civil war was actually fought for the control of oil as Nigeria could not afford to allow the Igbos 'run away with their food.'

I read a thread yesterday where Kachikwu said that they are at the verge of discovering crude oil in the chad basin.

If the north discovers oil in commercial quantity then the end of Nigeria might be in sight. This is because the north will not bother to fight the Igbos again for crude oil as they would see that as unnecessary.

I even believe that if the north discovers enough crude oil in their region, you will hear them shouting 'Arewa Republic!' I personally believe that if the oil had been in the north all these years like the Niger Delta have suffered, they would driven southerners away as infidels and not wanted.


Just my thoughts I am sharing here.

EUROBOMBER:


Why must the north wait till oil is discovered in commercial quantity in their region before they accept true federalism

Idrismusty97:
Besides true federalism may be out of the equation. Buyers can't tell the difference between Northern Nigeria oil, Southern Nigeria oil or Western Nigeria oil. Nigeria oil would still be sold as one.

EUROBOMBER:


Stop dodging the question. Of Course the oil will be sold as one just like we get from different states today.

Now why is the north preventing true federalism?

Setaje:
The poster above me has said it all. Which sane investor will go to the north? Meanwhile even if the oil is in commercial quantity, I believe the North will still want to keep Nigeria as one. Hmmmn the north is much more divided than the way we see them. A lot of people don't no that there are different ethnic groups such as fulani's, fulfudes, hausas, kanuris, etc in that north. We all just lump them up as being hausas. This is not true! The only thing they have in common is islam. It is that islam that brings them together against the south because they have one common enemy so they are able to speak wiv one voice for now. Truth is once we split, the north will split to.

What is making isis kill fellow muslims like themselves will automatic start happening in the north.

Take your question to Major General Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi- Ironsi.

You know well enough that this country will cease to exist if the north finds oil in thesame commercial quantity as the south. not only will the south not benefit from the oil, no southerner will own any oil bloc in the north.

EUROBOMBER:


That general must be super powerful for it to be taking Nigeria forever to correct his errros, lol.

Setaje:
I also heard that the fulani's are the main commanders in boko haram. Do u no the people who go for suicide mission? They use the hausas for such dirty work. No fulani man is a suicide bomber. Na hausa and kanuris den dey use. Doesn't it tell you something.

Sooner or later hausas will insist fulani's to should go for suicide bombings. Then they start fighting each other. The truth is there is a lot of division in Nigeria as a whole. What would make some ijebu people clamour for ijebu state. What would make ibadan people clamour for ibadan state out of oyo state Or badagry people out of lagos and even epe people out of lagos. It shows the selfishness of Africans and the way we reason.

We can never get it right if we continue like this.

VickJames:

Nigeria will divide if the north finds oil in their core areas. they will give bokoharam amnesty since they are one. No southerner will own any oil well in the north. have you seen any southerner mining any mineral resources in the north?

EUROBOMBER:


Very good question.

It is this lop-sided nature of this country that is causing agitations in the east.

VickJames:
The oil in the north will be owned by the northerners without the southerner enjoying any part of it. With the huge deposit of gold in sokoto. have you seen or heard of any federal government parastatal that is involved in mining those golds. No. what you see is, hausa jewelry sellers selling gold for you in your market. where did they get it from, from sokoto state. they own 100percent of what is coming out from gold.

double standards

EUROBOMBER:


Oil is drilled from the Niger Delta, their ancestral lands devastated, sold and the money shared to everybody while others keep their thing.

The Niger Delta have really suffered in this country.
