This is a proven evidence that if nigeria break up now it would be all out famine for SW, NC, NE, and NW.

This is just mere subsidy removal, well those planning a revolution should go ahead, SS and SE are planning secession.
I think a sovereign national conference is need now to readress nigeria as a whole.

my dear, it is not about any protest starting in lagos or whatever. All these nonsense you are seeing are meant to settle political scores because they can't bear that fact that someone not from their zone is occupying the seat of power. I can make bold to say that if it is someone from their zone (fashola) that removed the scam known as fuel subsidy, you would have seen them hailing the decision. Bigots looking for freebies

pls, can you name one notable protester amongst the lot?

kpogede77:

why we may not protest in the ND. We believe that we are already in a state of war with northerners. There are certain scarifies one has to make during war. As painful as it is to us, we will stand by GEJ. We are suppose to be the people crying more because we own the crude in abundance and we are buying petrol at N150. it is a scarifies we have to make because we are in a war situation with northerners. If we can't bear anymore we will cut off supply to the north and stop tankers from loading to the north let the war begins. GEJ is confused, he can no longer reason anymore because of the war the northerners and OIC is waging against us. We know the timing of the fuel subsidy removal is wrong but how can the man reason properly to know that January is not the right time to remove subsidy. We will cut off supply and refine our crude locally, if we cannot refine pms we will refine AGO and rely on diesel engine for transportation. In any case we don't have much to loose let the war begins. The SS and SE should reserve their energy for the bigger war coming, we are not one Nigeria. Kudos to Musiwa the prophet

INVESTMENT POTENTIALS


MINERAL RESOURCES
Ondo State is abundantly endowed with oil and solid mineral resources like bitumen, kaolin, silicon sand, ball clay, tin, marble and salt with forest reserves. The state produces crude oil which is estimated to contribute up to 10 percent of the country's crude oil production and reserves, and also possesses liquefied natural gas deposits in commercial quantity that can produce as much as 20 million tons of natural gas per year thereby, creating enourmous opportunities like gas development and conversion, marketing of crude oil, drilling operations, civil work, production and storage of crude oil.

In the line up of solid resources deposited in the state, not much has been done to exploit them. The State possesses one of the largest bitumen deposits in the world, yet the state produces crude oil which is estimated to contribute up to 10 per cent of the country's crude oil production and reserves, and also possesses liquefied natural gas deposits in commercial quantity that can produce as much as 20 million tons of natural gas per year has not been commercially exploited. Same goes for others like kaolin clay, iron ore, quartz sand, limestone, columbite, coal, gemstone, diorite, lignite, tin and marble. Minerals that are presently been mined in the state like granite cannot be processed in the State because there are no processing companies, so it has to be taken to other states and even other country's to be processed. Same goes for silica sand used for glass production and ball clay used in the production of ceramics. All these resources are available in commercial quantities, and beckon on investors to harness Ondo's great potentials.

I see the man who loves to be all things to all men is here decietfully soliticing the support of those who cannot think without recourse to ethnic and religious bigotry. What is going on is simply a National struggle against a callous Government that wan't to hide the corruption it is involved with while abdicating its duty of care towards  all Nigerians. It is only simpletons who will jump the gun to think protests will not spread to the rest of Nigeria over severe pains no ordinary Nigerian will be immune from feeling.

It is also amusing to read simplistic statements that panders only to ignorance such as this below:

While I will not arrogate it upon myself to speak on behalf of others, I can prove that a recourse to fact and current events show that the SW will be more than OK.

Ondo alone , and amongst other things, produces 10% of the Oil of Nigeria. See below for yourself:

http://osccima.org/investors.html

From the above and  given how all SW Governors have genuinely gone back towards developing their agricultural sector , along with a strong emphasis on regional development, it would seem the SW , down to the comparatively progressive leadership it is now enjoying, is up to speed with the reality of Nigeria's history that made many undeserving and visionless military leaders decimate every sector in favour of oil. That trend continued even beyond 1999 and under, ostensibly, 'democratic' Governments which in reality , and till today, has a strong vestige of the militaristic thinking ( IBB, OBJ, Danjuma, et al) that believes firmly in harmful concentration of power in an all-powerful centre. If anything, I see the SW developing very rapidly once free of the interference of an indolent centre run by gradualists and elite-leaning thinkers likes GEJ, OBJ, Anenih et al.

Some of you should worry, if Nigeria seperates, about those who will immediately step into the breeches as your leaders. Any hope for the SS, for example, with GEJ, Alamco and the NDDC boys et al running the show? You all should stop the simplistic and highly ignorant thinking that makes you assume possessing oil alone is enough to guarantee your regional success while preposterously alluding that others will suffer.

When the SW itself has oil and gas, is moving seriously towards reviving its agricutural sector as a regional priority and has comparatively progressive leaders in charge currently, I really dont know how some of you can think the SW will be worse off than you. Your pat little theory , aside denying the 'healthy' natural endowment of the region, heavily ignores the human element. What are the NDDC leaders doing if not embezzling the funds meant to develop the Niger Delta? What, for example, will change for the region if everyone went their seperate ways? Would these greedy saboteurs not be first in line to take over? You should all really start thinking before spamming the net shouting about about "parasite" and "laziness" in the direction of others. Nothing , for example, demonstrates parasitism and laziness more than "sons of the soil" who prefer o embrace corruption and indolence instead of developing their States and region. What , as a practical example, is Bayelsa's excuse for non-development with the allocation it gets and population under 2 million?

^^^^^

Those who have solid minerals would like to exploit them but the corrupt and pathetic PDP system in control at the centre corrupts everything and frustrates everyone.

Which is why I get amazed when ignorant people speak foolishly.

People keep insulting the North not knowing the region is awash with treaures: How many people know that Niger state is awash in gold and rare metals?

The SW is self-sustaining and produces more oil than it needs, and used Agriculture to build Lagos.

I repeat:  Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin. The old ways of ruling Nigeria have been found wanting and their days are short.

If anything, I see the SW developing very rapidly[b] once free of the interference of an indolent centre run by gradualists and elite-leaning thinkers likes GEJ, OBJ, Anenih et al.[/b]
