kel4soft: Who told you Igbos don't know the conference is a charade. Just that the current Igbo political office holders don't want to offend their oga at the top. Here in Port Harcourt, most Igbos I speak to are very different from with the way they see politics compare with their NL counterparts.

ImperialYoruba:

Those bulbous eyes have purpose afterall. I wish Ojukwu had the same size eyes to see far ahead. My people will not be in this predicament. Lmao.

I love you Asiwaju.

geeez:

I remember how badly Tinubu was bashed following his comments

How come we see with zoom lenses while they are myopic?

How come its takes them months and years to comprehend?

Isn't it easy to see why we are light years ahead?

If you want to do this properly, start with the NASS giving the conference a constitutional backing

Next you have a website where Nigerians can contribute while the consultations go on

Then you subject the resolutions to a referendum

Anything outside that is a charade

Thanks Tinubu

Kponkwem: in the present condition, it will be wrong to call for a 'sovereign' conference. On what document/legitimacy will the President and NASS stand in convoking the conference? I thought these are elected officials whom people have delegated their sovereignty to? Except there's a revolution overthrowing the present order, I don't think we can make a constitution outside the NASS.


Again it should not be based on ethnicity. Which ethnic nationalities are we talking about? How many ethnicities are in Nigeria? If all attend won't it be recipe for chaos?

Let our elders accept things as they are and go to the conference on a unified agenda, hopefully they will score some points with SW and SS. At least the Yoruba will equally be voting for decentralisation of power- the only issue is how to scale the NW and NE who have created more LGs and constituencies for themselves.

If much is not achieved as desired by the south, the only option will be forceful change or hope for oil impact in the economy to diminish for freedom to come. When will that be? Two years, three years? Not sure...

Tonniey:
You must be a schl cert fail student, tinubu made a statement and you here asking your frend to give reasons why tinubu made d statement.
Keep it up!

ketoprofen:

How come most ppl feel its better the conference is sovereign, so that everybody go answer im papa name?
But that's what igbos wanted in 1967, sighting no progression in the country in years to come .
43 yrs after, other groups think that's the best option.
Is it not obvious igbos are light yrs ahead of u?
.
Btw, can u point a single reason y tinubu was against the conference.
Just one.
Not what u think, but tinubu thinks.

ololo12: Before commencement of any SNC or NC. The Northern Oligarch must return all Oil well back to the rightful owners. I don't understand how a Northerner can own Oil wells and Bloc in the South. Someone should please explain this to me.

dounleedee:

Stop assaulting our senses with expansionist quest disguised as self determination. The Eastern Region was properly delineated before the start of the civil war, it didn't include Edo and Ore.

vanstanzy:

This guy, u r really a clown of some sort, right? Ojukwu saw this since 1966, mind u.

T9ksy:

When exactly in 1966? January or July?

Onlytruth:

4th-5th January 1967

ketoprofen:

Yet, nobody touches their groundnuts, tomatoes; solid minerals eg tin, gold.
These minerals are being mined in the north by foreigners and the northern politicians and chiefs are settled.
But they own 80% of oil wells in the south.
Imagine if this oil were in the north, do u think they would be allowing other grps to come to cross Benue?

ndu_chucks:

When Nigeria's economy was primarily sustained by Groundnut and Cocoa, and many of you people were still subsistent fishermen, we didn't hear a word from you.

T9ksy:


When was nigeria's economy solely sustained by Groundnut? Are you talking about the same groundnut that wasn't even enough to sustain the northern part of the country? Haba! Aboki, your puerile attempt at revisionism is DOA. It is no secret why the british merge the northern protectorate with the south.

ndu_chucks:

Consult your history books. Nuff said

T9ksy:

Why don't you point me to the one you read that says groundnut sustain the nation's economy before the advent of oil?

vanstanzy:

This guy, u r really a clown of some sort, right? Ojukwu saw this since 1966, mind u.

ndu_chucks:

When Nigeria's economy was primarily sustained by Groundnut and Cocoa, and many of you people were still subsistent fishermen, we didn't hear a word from you. When we spent millions of naira on oil exploration, losing millions where we found nothing, we didn't hear from you people. When we found oil inland and spent millions more to drill, we did not hear from you people.

Now that you are receiving royalties via government allocations to your states, you are now yapping that its your oil. How much have you invested in oil exploration? Let me guess - zero Naira.

To add to the insult, some of you have the guts to lay sole claims on offshore oil!! What foolery.

Lazy fools should ask their governors to invest only 0.000001% of the free money they receive to develop offshore fishing and supply all of West Africa with frozen fish. Some of you simply come across as lazy ingrates.

Mayor_of_Lagos:

For a Biafran prophet, Ojukwu was a very bad seer. He saw everything since 66, except the need to build alliance and save his people from perish..he was blind to that, and even when prophets from other land pointed to him what they saw, his huge Biafran eyes still was blind to it. Well, as we head to 2015, does prophet Ojukwu sees Jonathan winning the election?

ketoprofen:

Did the ppl of SE/SS ask u to drill oil for them?
Whose money were they using to search for the kind oil?
Wasnt palm oil and coal sustaining the east bfr?
Where are u getting ur idea of fishing?
Northerners are not lazy but reap where they do not sow, using violence. After getting the said oil wells, the wealth is only concentrated in few northerners, the vast majority are poor.
Yorubas on the other hand are simply lazy.

Mayor_of_Lagos:

I thank God for bringing me into a lazy race of people; id take that over a criminal race of homeless people.

ndu_chucks:

Ode. I wrote groundnuts and cocoa. I give you a few hours to do your research and hope you are not lazy. If you are still in doubt I'll educate you.

T9ksy:

Okay i agree am lazy. Now can you educate me when it was that groundnut ( don't want to talk about cocoa) that was not even enough to sustain the northern administrative part of the country was utilised to fund the south, as well.
