Abagworo:
My take is that to determine the actual oil inside the States territory, then offshore should be excluded. It is out of place to assign oilfields located outside Nigerian shore to littoral States. Those who supported it erred and it is what led to extreme poverty in the North. All offshore oil belongs to FG while States lay claim to ones within their land boundaries.

did you just say the north would not survive without oil

That was the Nigerian agenda Post civil war.

1. Deny Igbos access to the sea and oil rich Igbo speaking clans by introducing identity crisis where there was hitherto none.

2. After the 1970 careful removal of the oil producing Igbo producing territories from the Igbo speaking region of East Central, a further boundary 're adjustment would be done by Mamman Nasir commission that removed the few remaining Igbo speaking territories from SE in 1976 and added them to Rivers state.

To this effect, the three oil producing villages of Egbema town was carved out of East Central( Imo state) and added to Rivers state. The remaining 14 villages in Egbema town that were non oil producing then were left in East Central state. So you have a case of a single town now existing in two states just in a bid to make sure that no oil producing community was left in East Central.

The same happened to Ndoki and Asa lands, as the oil producing parts of this two Igbo speaking clans were carved out in 1976 by Mamman Nasir adjustment commission and put in the old Rivers state, while the majority of the non oil producing parts of Ndoki were left in the East Central state.

Quite unfortunate. If you had the power or you were made the president today, how would you resolve this issue?

A huge percentage of the oil from Delta is from Anioma communities.

Phame:
anambra steals from kogi, they don't have oil.

massive deposits of oil between the boundry of ihiala and atani in imo state. The oil in atani is being processed accross the river oras which devides the state.

Anambra has oil in abundance

The present 9ja is a fraud. I believe that an igbo nation without oil will still be beter than this cursed 9igeria

Quite unfortunate. If you had the power or you were made the president today, how would you resolve this issue?

Only Biafra can solve that problem.

That way we eliminate the Arewa-Oduanistan effect and machinations and rekindle our bond of unity with our long lost brothers.
There were Igbophilic voices in those communities that were against the Igbo denial ish, they only wanted to control their resources, but those voices were drowned and Igbophobic voices were raised and empowered by the Arewa-Oduanistans, and as the powers of Igbophobic voices grew, so did they followership in the entire community, until the entire community became Igbophobic.

It is to the exploitation agenda of the Arewa-Oduanistans that Igboland remain balkanized, without first neutralizing them, we can't achieve much. There will always be greedy people in those areas that would always be empowered by the Arewa-Oduanistans to ensure the Igbo denials continues and that oil keep flowing.

So if I have the powers, I would establish Biafra by peace or by war.

Igbo denial is the disease, Arewa-Oduanistans are the pathogens. Remove the pathogens, you cure the disease.

That's the New Lyrics Now Oya KONTINU shifting goal post Fifa is watching

Abagworo:


I don't even believe Ikwerres are Igbos to start with. What I only have my reservations on is the distorted history which does no one any good. For example origin of Oguta is very clear. Migration from border of Benin and Igbo around Agbor in Delta State, settlement at Aboh and eventual crossing of rivers to Orashi bank in Imo State but never have we used that as evidence of not being Igbo because we believe that you are what God made you be and speak. When you visit Oguta you will know there was definitely contact with Benin of old. Even some names like Ossai, Adesuwa, Oputa et al are evidence of Benin links. If you come to Kingship you can as well clearly see the Benin traces in ruling house and King makers. You will see the Iyasara and Umudei.

Compare with Ikwerre where everything is exactly like Owerri now claiming to have migrated from Benin. Was there any King in Ikwerreland not to talk of Benin styled monarchial system? What words does Ikwerre retain from Benin language like Oguta or Onitsha?

The migratory roots of Ikwerre suggests a stop at Etche and Southwesterly movement towards Elele and Isiokpo from where further dispersal was made. There were equally Okrika, Kalabari, Igbo and Ekpeye later migrations but the backbone remains the Elele-Isiokpo area or present day Ikwerre LGA.

One can only speak for his people.

The Ikwerre i come from originated as the son of Akalaka who migrated from benin kingdom..i know ive heard the Okpo Wagidi story some other ikwerres use as their origin and the link with IsiOkpo.

Dunno if you noticed the Emohua people are usually fiercest in our stance that we arent Igbos because we are very certain about our ancestry as our brothers the Ekpeyes are a readily available proof to our claims.

Irregardless, Ikwerre has come a long way in gaining separate recognition.we have set ourselves on a path.i believe Ikwerre should be left alone and allowed to grow at her pace and also to chart her destiny.This undue interference and unwanted brotherhood is nothing but distraction to us.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/11/omoigui-at-80-i-made-them-pay-for-claiming-i-removed-oil-wells-from-ondo-to-bendel/


Excerpts of the Interview By Gabriel Enogholase, Benin.

MR. Daniel Aiyanyo Omoigui, father of the Chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Mrs. Ifueko Omoigui Okarau, and former Surveyor General of the Federation, turned 80 last Thursday. In this interview on the milestone, Omoigui speaks on why students run away from mathematics and his narrow escape from death during the civil war.

He also speaks on Bakassi Peninsula, which, according to him, has never been part of Nigeria but has always belonged to Cameroun. He adds that he was forcibly retired as Director of the Federal Survey because he refused to do the bidding of a former minister that would have transferred oil wells belonging to Bendel to Ondo State.


What would say about your early working experience?

After my education at St. Patrick’s College Asaba in 1949, I came back to Benin- City and took a teaching appointment at Niger College, Benin, in 1950. Besides, I also read at home to prepare for my future challenges while there.In 1953, I took the entrance examination into the University College, Ibadan, passed and I took the Inter.

B.Sc examination of the University of London. I entered the University College, Ibadan to read mathematics in October of that year, but, in December, the result of the Inter. B.Sc University of London came out and I passed. Therefore, I had to move to the next class and graduated in 1957.

How did you find yourself in the Federal Service and rose to the position of Surveyor – General of the Federation?

I joined the Federal Survey Department in 1957 in Lagos and the job took me virtually to all parts of Nigeria. In 1958, I was at the Royal Military Survey Institute, London, for further studies and I came back to Nigeria in 1959. I got married to my wife in 1958 and she came to join me in the United Kingdom in 1959.

In 1964 – 65, I was posted to do Geodesic Survey throughout the country and, because of this nomadic life, I decided to keep my family in Lagos permanently. In 1966, I was posted to Markudi to take charge as the only office outside Lagos then.

This was a very trying period in the history of the country because of the tension generated by the 1966 coup d’état. I was still in Markudi when the second coup of July, 1966 took place and there was trouble all the country. In September 1966, there was trouble in Markudi and so many people were killed.

So, what was your experience during the civil war?

I would have lost my life in Markudi if not that God used one Lt. Col. Adeniran to save our lives. At that time in Markudi, the town was essentially made up of Igbos because the Tivs were predominately farmers. Lt. Col. Adeniran gave us non-natives a platoon of soldiers that escorted us from Markudi to Lafia, then Suleija and to Jebba.

At Jebba, it was a terrible and horrible experience at the River Niger Bridge. People were asked to identify themselves. When I told them I was a Benin man, an army sergeant from Zuru who had lived in Benin came and spoke to me in Benin language, and I replied.

That is what saved my life. After the civil war, I started the boundary demarcation of the entire country, so, my stay in London helped me a lot in this assignment. Most of the documents today on boundary demarcation were produced by my team.

Then you were involved in the demarcation of the boundary between Nigeria and Cameroun Yes. In August 12 – 14 ,1970, the first meeting of the Nigeria/Cameroun Boundary Committee took place in Beau, Yaoundé. The Nigerian delegation was led by the late Chief R.O Coker.

I was like the technical secretary to the committee. There were representatives from the Customs. Immigration, Cabinet Office in the delegation. When we came back from Yaoundé, the delegates from the External Affairs Ministry did their report to their Commissioner, the late Dr. Okoi Arikpo, who then wrote to the Commissioner for Justice and Attorney – General of the Federation, Dr. Teslim Elias, for his opinion on the Nigeria/Cameroun boundary issue. Elias’ reply has remained a landmark legal opinion that Nigerian has no claim to Bakassi peninsula; that all we needed to do was the maritime boundary between both countries.

The General Yakubu Gowon administration followed Dr. Elias’ opinion. From 1970 -1975 when General Gowon was removed from office, I took part in the negotiations.

I have all the documents. What Gowon did then was to convene a meeting of the Supreme Military Council to brief them on the legal opinion and Col. Olusegun Obasanjo, as he then was, was the Commissioner for Works while Col. Murtala Muhammed, as he then was, was the Commissioner for Communications.

I was then the Assistant Director in charge of the Mapping Section at the Federal Survey Department and, in 1978, Chief Coker retired from the service and my colleague took over as Director of Federal Survey.

In 1979, we had a civilian administration and, in 1981, the Cameroonian gendarmes invaded Nigeria and five of our soldiers were killed. With my experience, even though not heading the maritime section, I was requested by the National Asembly to tell them the exact location where the killings took place.

I told them it was in Cameroun, east of Ekeng. Although they knew it was in the Cameroun, they started to flex muscles. When Buhari took over in 1984, he set up a task force on Nigeria’s boundary with Chad Republic and I was a member of the task force.

It was then we knew that Richard Akinjide had sought the opinion of a Cambridge Director for his opinion. I was then brought in to supervise the technical report while the main report did agree with Elias that Bakassi was in Cameroun.

The Permanent Secretary was Ambassador Edwin Dove in the External Affairs Ministry while Hamzat Ahmadu now Chairman of Leventis was the Director – General. They were aware. Chief Uffot Ekaette was the private secretary to General Gowon and he knew about the issue.

In 1984, as the Director- General of the Federal Survey, following a re-organization in the Federal Ministry of Works, I initiated the establishment of National Boundary Commission when I was told that Cameroun had established its National Boundary Commission because of the sensitive nature of the issue. The Vice President was made the Chairman because of the sensitive nature.

In 1977, the Obasanjo administration set up the Justice Mamman Nasir Boundary Commission and, following its report, the boundaries of some states were changed. Part of Western Ijaw went to Rivers State, part of Bendel went to Ondo; part of Rivers went to Cross Rivers and part of Imo went to Rivers.

Because of this, some oil wells changed hands. There was an oil well in Rivers very close to Imo and I was asked to demarcate where the oil well was actually located. After the exercise, it was found that the oil well was in Rivers.

Moreover, because parts of Bendel had gone to Ondo, there were five oil wells very close to the boundary. Initially, the Ondo people wanted the royalty to be shared 50-50 because they were very close to the boundary between both states.

In 1981, a Yoruba man, who was Director of Survey, wrote to the Ministry of Finance on the issue and, after charting, it was found that the oil wells were in Bendel State. He wrote to the Ministry of Finance that the Yoruba would not take this.

He went to Lagos, met with the Director of Survey and reported that a Bini man was behind the charting. Then my Director said no, he charted it. In 1984, Bamidele Otiko became the military governor of Ondo State and came to Lagos to meet my Director. At the meeting, my Director told Otiko he was responsible for the charting.

When Chief Olu – Falae became the Secretary to the Federal Government, he directed me to write a letter that pending the resolution of the Ondo – Bendel boundary adjustment issue, they should be sharing the royalty 50 – 50. I declined to write the letter.

They then posted one Ondo man to be the permanent secretary. He was reported to have said he was posted there to do their bidding and they would call him an outcast if he did not. After reading the file, he said I should do something, on the issue and I said, ‘No, you are the permanent secretary, draft the letter and sign it.

He refused. The then Minister of Works, Alhaji Abubakar Umar, was a witness to all these. Later some people did a letter purportedly written by me. When Mamman Kantagora became the Works Minister, he told me that the Armed Forces Ruling Council (AFRC) had retired me.

That was in 1988. The following week, the then Ondo governor called a press conference and told the media that I forged the map of Ondo – Bendel States to remove oil wells from Ondo to Bendel. The newspapers that published the story were sued for libel and I made them to write apology letters.

Since I was retired, they have not carried out any survey on the Ondo – Bendel boundary issue

The Akoko-Edo come to mind.

They have no business being in Edo state, but Ondo state with their fellow Akokos.

No Yoruba man here has tackled this point.

So apparently, while oil producing lands though in the Yoruba speaking parts of the Delta parts of old Bendel state were carved out and joined to the greater Yoruba speaking area of SW, Ondo in particular.

Igbo speaking territories were joined to Ijaw territories in Rivers and made to take on distinct ethnic nationalities.

You would agree with me that if Ilaje were Igbo speaking and located at the boundary between Rivers and Imo, Ilaje will be made to take a distinct ethnicity from the rest of Ndiigbo in Imo state and then placed in Rivers state as a distinct Ilage ethnic nationality. It wouldn't be hard to find greedy elements amongst them to be empowered and then drown other dissenting voices, and as years go by, the natural rule of " if you can't beat them, join them" takes place, and the ranks of the denials keep swelling as the ranks of the dissenting ones keep diminishing.

NEWS THAT MAKES ME HAPPY.
Obiano’s Educational Reforms and Anambra’s Chart-topping Performances

In his back-page column for Thisday on Thursday last week, which he devoted to the Multina Teacher of the Year Awards, ace columnist, Segun Adeniyi made a striking observation. Surprised by the outstanding performance of teachers who represented Anambra State in the contest, Adeniyi observed – “There is something that the Anambra State Education authorities must be doing right not only because it is the state where many of the teachers scored above average. Perhaps that accounts for why candidates from the state continue to come tops in WAEC examinations every year.”

Adeniyi is not alone in his bewilderment. Many Nigerians are curious about Anambra’s recent string of sparkling performances in education. Mrs. Rose Nkemdilim Obi who teaches Mathematics in an all-girls college in Onitsha defeated her fellow teachers from nineteen other states of the federation to win this year’s edition of Multina Teacher of the Year Awards. Giving a rare insight into the brightness of her mind, Mrs Obi, a passionate teacher told the panel of five prominent academics and a columnist that decided the contest that “Teaching is a noble profession. It is a calling. It is a commitment to building the nation.” Nothing could have captured the weight of the true importance of teachers to society better than that.

The six judges, made up of Prof. Pat Utomi, Prof. Mopelola Omeogun of Univeristy of Lagos, Prof. Thomas Ofuya, Vice Chancellor of Wellspring University, Benin, Prof. Tijani Abubakar of ABU, Zaria, Dr Mrs Fatima Binta Abdulrahman and Segun Adeniyi of Thisday, were thoroughly impressed by Mrs Obi’s overall brilliance in the contest and were unanimous in the decision to give her the award.

Interestingly, two days after Nkemdilim Obi’s emergence as the Best Teacher in Nigeria, Team Anambra also emerged winners of the national Pre-basic Debate Competition held in Abeokuta, Ogun State to mark Nigeria’s 55th Independence Anniversary. Interestingly too, Anambra had won the same contest last year and subsequently flew the Nigerian flag in Singapore in June this year at the World Schools Debate Championship. The team was made up of Adachukwu Onyekwena from Girls Secondary School, Amaenyi, Awka, Nnamdi Udoji from Dennis Memorial Grammar School, Onitsha, Chinemerem Oguaba from Awada Secondary School, Obosi, Chukwuebuka Obichi from Army Day Secondary School, Onitsha and Nneka Chigozie from Mater Ammabillis Secondary School, Umoji; all public schools located in different parts of the state. The consistency that Anambra State has achieved in this credible contest of intellectual promise is re-assuring.

[b]Anambra has also shown same striking promise in external examinations, coming first in WAEC and NECO examinations for three consecutive years. T[/b]he fascinating thing about the rise of Anambra is that the young students who have brought repeated honours to the state in national and international debate championships were all drawn from public schools.
Well, for Adeniyi and other interested Nigerians who are wondering where Anambra’s performance is coming from, wonder no more. The answer is simple. Anambra State prides itself as the Light of the Nation. In figurative and literal sense, Anambra cannot be said to be anything less. Not after giving the world the great Zik of Africa, Emeka Ojukwu, Chinua Achebe, Chike Obi, Chimamanda Adichie, Emeka Anyaoku, Christopher and his brother Pius Okigbo, Prof. Samuel Okoye, Dora Akunyili, Chukwuma Soludo, Chuka Umunna, James Adichie, Ben Enweonwu and a whole universe of amazing scholars, pioneers and achievers. So, there seems to be a genetic pool where the young saplings that are astonishing the world actually came from. But even so, the recent renaissance has more to do with administrative foresight than any inherent ability.

The fact is, since he took the oath of office in March last year, Governor Willie Obiano has shown that under him, Anambra would not play second fiddle to anyone in education. He has made tough decisions, pushed hard-hitting reforms and demonstrated a thirst for excellence never seen before and today, the results are trickling in. It must be noted however, that he inherited good fundamentals in education. His predecessor, governor Peter Obi had returned mission schools to churches and made bold efforts to refocus the attention of the people on education. But Obiano has shown a more organised and structured approach that guarantees sustainability and instant results in the sector.
Obiano’s strategic approach to education is anchored on the crucial vision of becoming one of the Top-3 States with the highest literacy rates in Nigeria. Essentially, Obiano approaches education in three broad areas – infrastructural development, pupils/students development, and teachers’ welfare. In Infrastructure, his administration has renovated 862 units of 10-classroom blocks across the 21 Local Government Areas in the state and disbursed the sum of N733 million to the missions for the renovation of the schools the churches took over from the state. In Pupils/Students Welfare, his administration has kept faith with its “No-Child-Left-Behind” policy in education; awarding free education to all physically challenged children in the state. The governor took it a bit further when he awarded scholarships to the children of Boko Haram victims and other children who lost their parents while on active duty for the state. In all, the state has awarded scholarships of over N30 million in eighteen months.
Under Teachers’ Welfare, governor Obiano set precedence in Anambra State when he sent 23 teachers to Singapore to undergo training in technical and vocational education in April this year. The governor also increased the salary of teachers by 15 percent and offered incentives of 20 percent of their basic salaries to teachers deployed to hard-to-reach areas. This has greatly reduced the attrition of teachers in the areas. Similarly, teachers who teach core subjects like English, Mathematics and Sciences have been placed on a monthly incentive to encourage them. The administration has continued to invest heavily in education. It demonstrated a measure of vision in implementing a revolutionary policy that would leapfrog Anambra State into the new and dynamic digital age with the launch of One-Teacher-One-Laptop Scheme. This scheme will wipe out the absurdity of teaching computer on a chalkboard that formed Segun Adeniyi’s column which inspired this article. And just the other day, the governor sought to open more access to education for children in the riverine parts of the state when he launched 25 speedboats to mark the commencement of modern marine transportation in the state. With this scheme, pupils in riverine areas can attend classes in great schools that dot the mainland.

In conclusion, Adeniyi’s perplexity as to what Anambra is doing to get impressive results in education has an easy answer…Obiano is getting it right with his policies. The strategic three-pronged approach to education, the incentives to teachers, the heavy investments, the overseas training and the revolutionary policies nailed it fast. Thankfully, the attentive world is beginning to show appreciation. Two weeks ago, the Association of Primary School Head-teachers of Nigeria (APSHON) named Governor Obiano the Most Primary School-friendly Governor of 2015. And we hardly need a crystal ball to see that this is just the beginning.

Do you know what?

There are more ethnic groups in Adamawa state than the Entire Southern Nigeria...
But still yet, the North maintains her unity...

Because there are no Ibos in Adamawa trying to claim them and their lands, most of other parts of Nigeria are live and let live. Ibos are the opposite! The SW also has many dialects and minor variants but all Yorubas are very comfortable about each other, maybe due to hundreds of years of living together in an empire. Ibos are thieves, and the more they try to claim these ND groups, the more they will be wary of Ibos and try to run away from them. Ibos are land grabbers and covetous people. Their land is so poor it self destructs itself in what is called massive gully erosion. This is why Ibos are looking for other people's land and then overwhelm the minorities by their greedy numbers and dire love for money!!!!!

pazienza:


Only Biafra can solve that problem.

That way we eliminate the Arewa-Oduanistan effect and machinations and rekindle our bond of unity with our long lost brothers.
There were Igbophilic voices in those communities that were against the Igbo denial ish, theit only wanted to control their resources, but those voices were drowned and Igbophobic voices were raised and empowered by the Arewa-Oduanistans, and as the powers of Igbophobic voices grew, so did they followeship in the entire community, until the entire community became Igbophobic.

It is to the exploitation agenda of the Arewa-Oduanistans that Igboland remain balkanized, without first neutralizing them, we can't achieve much. There will always be greedy people in those areas that would always be empowered by the Arewa-Oduanistans to ensure the Igbo denials continues and that oil keep flowing.

So if I have the powers, I would establish Biafra by peace or by war.

Igbo denial is the disease, Arewa-Oduanistans are the pathogens. Remove the pathogens, you cure the disease.

Abagworo:


The Ikwerres were not singled out in the atrocities during the war from both FG and rebels. War comes with atrocity. The Igbos have a problem with handling opposing views that might even be better for them. Don't you see how they labelled me a traitor for supporting Buhari. Same with Amaechi and Okorocha. They view Wike as a hero. If this were during the war they would have called for the head of Okorocha and Amaechi who are Igbo and Ikwerre respectively not because of their ethnicity but for being anti-Biafra.

Sadly but true. I missed those our infrastructural threads. What we have now is Wike a well known mediocre seen as a HERO.

South East will have to Feed on the Scrabbles they get from the Erosion ravaged Land

No wonder people tag it as a Curse Land

Now I know why all Flat heads re trooping into south west in thousands everyday

You are an educated illiterate. Did you studied Economics in school at all? Smh! Trooping to SW? You guys are lazy... Have you ever heard of "Competition"? Ask yourself, "why is that you finds A Chinese man everywhere in the world even in the remostest part in Nigeria, Whereas, China is the number 1 Most Developed Country in the WORLD?? You won't DARE understand, only those who are business-inclined understands...

S-East is More Developed than S-West.. SE lacks federal projects.. Everything in SE are built individually. Unlike the SW where they depend on govt. for their daily bread.. Anambra state has the highest high-rise and clustered buildings in Nigeria.. MAJORITY of SW is dominated with brown-roof mud/unplasted houses.... Brown-roof houses has gone into extinction in the SE region.. (aluminium sheet everywhere)..

who are the real parasite in Southern-Nigeria? The largest Market in WEST AFRICA is in Onitsha. The second largest in Nigeria is at Aba... The Only indigeneous Vehicle construction Company in Nigeria is in Nnewi...

LETS DO MATHS on Lagos. Lagos state generates her IGR mostly from the Sea-port, Market(tax), and Entertainment industry.. 1) Seaport - 85% of Seaport users are Igbos in which most of the INTERNATIONAL IMPORTERS are Igbos... Igbos generate a whopping Billion of Dollars to Lagos state using the Port... That's why the Yorubas in collision with the Hausas killed Akwa ibom port, PH sea-port and Warri Seaport...

---

2) Tax(market) - The largest Markets in THE ENTIRE SW are owned/dominated by the Igbos... Alaba Intl, Computer Village, Idumota e.t.c... The Lagos govt. generates billions of naira from this markets on Tax...

with my write-up, you will agree that Yorubas are parasites and Generates Absolutely Nothing into the Nigeria coffer...

rhymaster:


Because there are no Ibos in Adamawa trying to claim them and their lands, most of other parts of Nigeria are live and let live. Ibos are the opposite! The SW also has many dialects and minor variants but all Yorubas are very comfortable about each other, maybe due to hundreds of years of living together in an empire. Ibos are thieves, and the more they try to claim these ND groups, the more they will be wary of Ibos and try to run away from them. Ibos are land grabbers and covetous people. Their land is so poor it self destructs itself in what is called massive gully erosion. This is why Ibos are looking for other people's land and then overwhelm the minorities by their greedy numbers and dire love for money!!!!!

Educated illiterate...

Hausa enforced their language on the Northerners... Almost every Northerner speaks Hausa...

And mind you.. SE is more developed than SW apart from Lag...

There are Igbos in SS... The Nigerian govt. is trying to divide us, but failed woefully...

superstar1:
This buttress the fact we have always been telling some chest beating nyamiris that the entire oil production of SE is not up to that of SW.

For your sad information, Lagos is joining in December with a considerable reserve in Ogun.
