selling your birth right for a bowl of rice.
they gradually infiltrating kogi for oil reasons

This ibo people finaly are taking right steps inthe right directions at the right time.

This are the type of pple we the NC want to live together with.

Hm. Have they finished developing their own States? What's their stake in other people's State ooo

Am begining to see and blv that the light is closer ahead of us the MB.

The more we go closer to our southern bros the weaker these murderers ( fulanis hausas )

We need to learn one or two things from each other.

If he yorubas in the south can invest as a group there and south people in the east invest there and we the MB in the west invest there tell me if these killers will not ask out peacifuly.

Solution we need to liberate ourself maybe easier than we think. Just if the MB.SE.SS and SW will come together what else can fulani hausas do?

A good neighbour is one who helps another.

A good stranger is the one who contributes positively to his host community.

Whenever a stranger becomes a nightmare(fulanis) to the hosts that means fire on the mountain.

One reason i respect Yoruba people is that they do not consider anywhere else home,but yorubaland.If not, yoruba would have "owned" Port Harcourt judging the huge population of very wealthy yorubas in that city,the way Igbos "owned" Lagos. Igbos on the other hand are the exact opposite. Everywhere else is home except Igboland !

Anyhow, i have lived in Idah (Igala-land, Gboko and Makurdi for nysc). Igala,Tiv or Idoma people are actually friends of Ndigbo.Although Tiv sometimes are so afraid of the north that they sometimes attack Igbos. But from Gboko to Idah to Ayangba, are peaceful and very hardworking people. I really don't know about Lokoja or Igbirra people.But i hope people building schools there understand that the people can easily misunderstand their undertaking a duty meant for the government to mean they are now the government itself. They should thread with caution.

I don tok my own.

The same kogi state that kill anambra everyday for the oil well?

Are there no more land again in the east to site that project!

Some people will soon come here to shout biafran nation as if they will be allowed to oversee those properties from their nation!
