I'm from Edo State but was born and brought up in Lagos.

I don't know watz good about Edo state because i av never been there before and i do not pray to be there.

Well, i learnt from popsy that there are lots of witches and wizards over there who wouldn't like you to prosper for anything and that is what made him gbe ja, leave when he was very young and he came to settle in Lagos, my late mumsy is from Ijebu in Ogun state.

Nope, although i wish i had one, like been an American or a Briton, it would av been lovely because Nigeria sucks. its d truth people

Eastern Heartland - Imo

Good:

Relatively Peacefull, Oil palm, Well Planned City:Owerri, High Standards of Education, Lots of Hotels.


Bad:

Owerri used to be Nigeria's cleanest city ie in the late 80's, not anymore!
Owerri: Growing city without capacity planning. There are always traffic jams on the exit routes from the city during yuletide or long holidays, as Owerri is crowded during such times.

I think that I am from Ogun State but I've never been there. I hear it's very "under-developed"

I was born in Lagos;
Good- I love the noise at night. It's a fun state.
Bad- It's way too populated.
Other nationality- American

I was born in Oyo State but Ibadan (capital) to be precise.
Ibadan people are very funny people, its a busy and a very populated city second to lagos. You get to eat the best ABULA in Oyo State.

I was born at Ibadan in Oyo State, but I'm from Delta State

Delta State is the largest oil producing state in Nigeria. Full of diverse ethnic nationalities, blessed with lots and lots of tourist attraction sites. One of the coastal states in the country with very high potential of turning to the Texas of the US one day

I don't know of any bad thing about my state. And I believe there's none.

I do not have any other nationality. And I don't want any other from the one I have now.

Coldstepper or whatever you call yourself,
I beg your pardon, someone's doing a survey in here. And you're not the person. You'D do well to mind your business and stop casting aspersions on what matters most to someone else.

No matter what you say or think, the Delta region (meaning, the Niger Delta region) is that region where most of the wealth of Nigeria comes from. It's through the wealth of that place that most Nigerians (including yourself) have been able to have a lifeline - you may not understand.

And in spite of the negative public description that region has acquired over the years, well meaning people all over the world knows that the people in that region are peace loving people who'D rather their rights are not trampled on but will lay down their lives to claim what's rightfully theirs for now and future generations yet unborn.

I'll urge you to withdraw that negative statement about Warri and the Delta region credited to you .

You said you're from Anambra. Well, I know Anambra has passed through hell in recent times. All the godfatherism + gangsterism of Ngige and Uba is still very fresh in our minds. The Okija saga is still very fresh too. Let me hold my tongue before I go ballistic with you.

OBJ has issues 20 trillion naira for the development of niger delta region. Over 400 thousands jobs as well will be created for nigerians in the region. A landmark to end the long term conflict b/w the Niger people volunteer force and nigeria. This might as welll lead to the release of dokubo asari who is currently charged with treason.

I still believe that niger delter security should be tighter than what it is currently is as these investments gets implimented. Education should be provided to the people and more jobs created to reduce the security threat in the area.

@Larger,
Thank you very much. Are you still interested in this survey of yours or you just want to turn the thread to another Niger Delta topic for discussion? Please go to the Political section and read all you need to know on the Niger Delta problems there.

And in any case, the Niger Delta people do not need anybody to ''release'' what rightfully ''belongs'' to them before we get to develop our lands and people. We would rather do the ''development'' ourselves.

@cold(Hot)stepper,

I'm sorry, but I've got to take it seriously with you. This site hosts more than 20,000 people of diverse background and nationalities. When you say something bad about a place, like you just did up there, you send negative messages across to prospective investors and other well meaning people about that place.

That's why it's good to choose your words, and know when to speak and not speak. You're still young, just take that from me as an advice.

I've never had any ocassion to join issues with you on this forum. But I must let you know that I dislike people who use foul words on others or things that matters to others. I also know that there are bad places all over the world, even in the US. So, don't make our own look so bad.

Have you ever been to Warri before now? or you just based your line of arguments on stories and pictures from newspapers?

Seeing is believing my friend, you've got to come around here first and get first hand experience before you'D be allowed to draw a line.

I think you have provided the information I needed for the area. however I am not happy with the niger people for not accepting OBJs development proposal so that niger area will be developed. I think OBJ is trying to be decent in financial distribution plan for niger people.
The people are more intrested in claiming the land and having a "stake" in the oil deal which I believe will lead to more corruption practise. It is not exactly a bad idea to have a stake but concidering what is "bigger" behind it, I think the people should just accept the development plan. However it should be independent of the struggle for the stake becasue nigeria as a country should not need to be told to develop the area like lagos and abuja.

Regarding the stake, I hope that a diplomatic solution will be reached in the issue. One big problem in niger is security.

@larger,
We are deviating. I'll rather we discuss this matter in the political ''settings'' in here.

So, once again, I'm a Delta State indigene. The state is among the states that ''feeds'' the nation. And very soon, everyone has got to fend for themselves. I think we have played Santa Claus for too long in Nigeria. It's time to get real.
