What a con job. The crude oil rig was fabricated in Lagos thereby creating jobs for the loudmouths in southwestern Nigeria. Yet it will be used to extract crude oil in Niger Delta. No wonder certain jackasses in Nigeria will readily develop convulsion at the slight mention of disintegration of the cesspit called Nigeria.

Even if Nigeria breaks they will still buy the FPSOs and if they don't Angola and Ghana will buy,we do not need to be in the same country for that.If you had a little sense you would ask where do the existing ones come from. All the way from Korea. What next Abokis insist all shoes must be made in the North because leather comes from there

antisocial:
you are an Idi/ot,it can't be for the Nation.It is chiefly for Niger Deltans,the grandnut pyramid in the Northern Nigeria wasn't for every Nigerian then,it is only a matter of time before we divide the Nation and CONTROL our resources.

nigeria will only divide in ur dreams!!!!

Chigold101:
i dont want bold statement. I need bold action.

If Niger Deltans do not act now with one voice, the born to rule zoo masters & their yoruba slaves will supress them once more.

Time is of essence here and now.

It'll come. Don't worry. People are waking up so best believe it'll come

Everything the company is fabricating isn't coming FROM the ND, rather they are coming TO the ND. The company isn't even created only for projects in the ND.....it's meant to serve the african market as the continent lacks ready availability of such a project.

Also, it's nobody's fault that Asari sees Benin republic as a better destination for the money he gets paid from the ND. If a son of the soil who claims to fight for the region doesn't think his businesses are safe in the region, why blame the non indigene of the ND who refuses to bring his investment down there?

The project is for profit, not for charity or decoration. Tell Asari, Tompolo, Ateke, Boyloaf etc to show the way by starting the investment boom with the money they're making daily from the region. If they don't love their region enough, who should?

Is that company going to be using crude oil from ND yes or no?

If no, fine build it in lagos. If yes, then they either should build it in ND or go and dig oil in lagos and build it there.

The rest of your ranting, I don't care much about it

nonaira:

No...the company WON'T BE USING crude from ND because it's not a refinery, petrochemical plant or gas plant. It's unfortunate and hilarious that you don't know yet you've been hyperventilating since morning.

If no, fine build it in lagos. If yes, then they either should build it in ND or go and dig oil in lagos and build it there.

Of course they've built it in lagos and even if you wish, your angry strokes on your keyboard won't interfere with the progress they're making in lagos.

The worst you can do is rant......which is what you're doing now

the rest of your ranting, I don't care much about it

You can't care even if you tried since you have no single idea about what is being discussed. Imagine you asking if they'll be using crude from the ND

Next time you wish to come rant on a public forum, the least you can do is use Google to update yourself so you don't come display gross ignorance in public.

What an interesting thread.

I read from page 0 to page 10.

WE shall overcome this problem.

It is well.

SonOfEl:


i do not accept your explanation. Ironsi's failure was 'unitary decree' he issued, and his ambivalence and approach in dousing the tension that is already fever high.

Ironsi's mistakes made incoming leaders sit up and avoid the potholes he fell into. Asides that, he was a first class general, at least he didnt commit genocide against boro's people.

Try to be constructive in your criticism and stop embarassing igbos here. Go and download 'iron side' online, written by a iloegbunam, a seasoned igbo historian and get a balanced view about him.

my brother please dont get me wrong. Ironsi is a fine gentle man but he had no revolutionary ambition. He was not ready for what was given to him.

Let me ask u a question: if you brother kills a man‘s father (God forbid), will you employ the son of the man ur father killed as your body guard or gate man?

You said am embarrasing Igbos, please tell me where Ndi Igbo ever spoke good of Ironsi. Tell me what Igbos is doing in his honour.

Even Nigeria and the zoo keepers are not also remembering Ironsi.

Whatever Chuks wrote is not important here because Ironsi was never a part of the revolution. As i said before, the zoo keepers brought him up as the most senior officer but a vision you were not part of creating, you can never run with. Ironsi do not understand the reason for the revolution. And he paid with his life for his ignorance.

That is the annoying thing ,People who have no idea what is being discussed. They see the world through the prism of Ibo Ojukwu Biafra and just jump to attention when they perceive any such matter is being discussed. So somebody wins a contract to supply helicopters or ambulances and they start foaming at the mouth if they are to be used in Bayelsa they must be made in Bayelsa.Where have they been when the Koreans have been bringing them in ever before
They are quite happy to boast about how THEY run the Economyy but when it is demonstrated to them unmistakably that they are amateurs they start to sulk and say "I'm taking my ball if I am not captain". Well gues what? There are many balls. NOTHING IS MOVING TO BAYELSA DO YOUR WORST
If you want a shipbuilding yard in gbabagakurumo build one

lyntiffany:
Etté abadié? The reason this people don't want the Niger deltans to be employed is that it will open their eyes to what they have missed, and still missing and what they stand to gain. The SW and the North are schemers.

Iniñghe mmi, sè ami do oo! Affirmative! The plotting and conspiracy against the minority is almost as old as the name Nigeria. To correct this anomaly, the downtrodden must not hibernate, but zealously take the initiative not only to seek redress but send a message strong enough to elicit respect and fair dealing at all times.

I do not believe you are "downtrodden because you are a minority only part of it has to do with education and superstition.That has held you back and if you have a strategy for that the sky is the limit.I know mny of your folk are smart and hardworking but there is a lot of work to do. Yes all Nigerians are superstitious but it is particularly damaging iin your area

Education: There are countless highly educated and intelligent folks from the ND. They can be found everywhere in the region. Education is not the bane of the region like you asserted.

Superstition: Whatever you imply by that, cos I don't know how applicable that is in subject.

Superstition and/or education or lack of it thereof should never excuse cheating, inequality and ill treatment.

I was not talking about Niger Delta which to me is meaningless and controversial term

To me ND means the land around the area where the River Niger enters the sea
I was referring to Akwa Ibom

I do not know what you mean by "cheating" but men are not equal and education has everything to do with that . It is not an Excuse but reality.Will a doctor earn the same as a cleaner?

coldFLARES1:
Oh well! We could find some point of convergence then. For me, it's only some legislation that could engender some measure of fairness but then we are at the mercy of the north and has always been united in short-changing us, since they are a majority in the NASS. U saw how they effectively shot down the proposal to increase derivation at the Confab and how, last week, the HoR made the whole country 'Host Community'. Nonetheless, it would be wrong not to demand accountability from our elected officials as well as agencies set up for the development of our region because mismanagement by these players would never justify our agitation for a better deal. As for employment, the owners and managers are at liberty to set the requirements, even if it doesn't favour us because it is their business!

Bros I like your points. U posit like some1 who sees beyond ethnicity and sentiments. Accountability is d key 2 ensuring economic liberation in d ND and nigeria as a whole. This whole idea of waiting 4 FG 2do everything will produce minimal results. Its not d responsibility of d FG or any oil coy 2 develop any state or region. That's what d state govts, LGs, federal and state legislators are supposed 2b burdened with. In other climes its legislators who lobby 4 investments 4 their constituencies working hand in hand with their govs 2 provide d conducive environment 4 such investment 2 flourish.

ironsi messed up because he politically naive. He had no business running the politics of a complication called nigeria, because he was not ready for it. His pride brought his fall.
However, chigold, if your brother slated you for assasination in the name of revolution, what would you do once you are able to overpower him?
Ironsi was detribalised to a fault, he did not act decisively despite the pressure he got to do so. He was too trusting and too self-confident. He was litmus test that proved how deeply fractured nigeria was both religiously and ethnically. Even the military, a neutral arm was affected by this fracture.
Anambarians especially, generally give little commendation to igbo who are not from their side. It is an unhealthy competition. Only Achebe as far as i know (in anambra) spoke generously about ironsi, in his last book 'there was a country'. Imo, ebonyi and delta people speak about him with mixed remarks. Abia people honour him but many still blame him behind closed doors. Enugu people act a bit like their anambra counterpart.

MayorofLagos:


...what an ignoramus!! Is Ondo a Niger Delta state? Is Chad basin a Niger Delta state?

Oil exploration in Chad had ceased due to risks of terrorism. If the cost/benefit scale of doing business in the Delta flattens out the explorers will abandon the rigs and take business elsewhere. They will then sanction your oil production in the market. How will you find the resource to grow your economy in the Delta? You will regress and stagnate.

Jonathan was clueless before March 28th, and he is still clueless after.

you must be a s c u m to not know ondo is also part of the niger delta region.. Oniranu oshi!

hahahaha...una no go kill person with laugh. When niger deltans look inwards they will c were their problems are coming from. If only "the downtrodden" will begin asking 4 accountability from their immediate leaders instead of fighting outsiders, d change would b phenomenal

How is this Niger Delta defined because I must say I am a bit confused

first and foremost, d FPSO in question is a private investment. If ND wants FPSO fabricated in d ND, are u telling me that d president, d ND govs, ministers, legislators,ND big boys and girls cannot come 2geda 2 attract such an investment 2 ND? Are they so powerless? If they couldn't boast of any investment in d last 6years then y do u blame outsiders 4 building an FPSO in lagos?

D most impt wealth and resource any society and nation can possess are its people. D people of d ND aren't being controlled by outsiders. Its their own leaders who control and oppress them. Again, d people of d ND thru their elected reps since 1999 have had wealth and resources pumped into d region by way of NDDc and min of ND affairs allocation, monthly state allocation, 13 percent derivation, daily taxes that accrue 2 state and LGs. All these wealth and resources haven't been in d control of outsiders but niger deltans themselves. U are right. They reserve d right 2 seek justice, but from their leaders and elected reps

In Nigeria, the most important wealth is the Natural resources, "Oil and Gas precisely. The whole country has its attention fixated on it. The rich and powerful mostly from other regions control and plunder the resources however they want, leaving the crumbs if any for the oppressed indigenes to glean.

Admittedly, the leaders of the region are guilty of misappropriation and extreme profligacy. However, once the injustice is addressed from the center, it will be easier to confront the issues at home. Meanwhile, be informed, graft and mismanagement is not limited to the ND, it is a Nigerian thing, as leader from other regions cannot fully account for the allocations they have received over the years. So I reckon you agree it must begin from the centre.
