TonyeBarcanista:

No INCH of Rivers state is Igbo! Get used to it or Go and "you know the rest"


PS: You are NOT from Rivers state. I've seen lots of impostors already!




Bye-byeeeeeeeeeeee

We will be here in Nigeria with you waiting for you and your fellow ijaw Land thieves to come and steal any part of igboland.
Especially Opobo

eduj:

actually the southeastern states had come together to build facilities such as the imo airport which was promptly taken over by the millitary govt.if we are to provide this basic things for ourselves on what grounds then, does the federal govt stand on to ask those states to pay taxes?

Tell me why you are disturbing the govt about niger bridge. We also have some facilities that we built without needing the government

Don't mind him. Him and his like are full of hatred for us northerners but thank GOD,he who he has given his power to rule others to,no man shall say otherwise or else he suffer. Manta dashi kawai.

Ashe kana jin Hausa. Maza comments dinka suna birgeni fa

TheDevilIsALai:


And you produce nothing.

We produce shoes and emergency flash lights and some more

abduljabbar4:

I dont even know where to start from, but Can you tell me why you think Kano doesnt have human capital along with other north-western states? The last time i checked, they were there before the coming of oil.

Just a little explanation would do. I dont want to start long arguments

kano wont feel it much. Its an industrial n commercial state, just like lagos, anambra. Sometimes I wonder if people have had a first hand knowledge on areas(states or locations) they analyse or they just sit in their rooms imagine/paint pictures of other areas.

Same afonja that made this thread is now praying for crude prices to rise

Why turning every thread on NL into Igbo Vs Non-Igbos?
The OP directed his question to Niger deltans and Tonye Barcanistan replied him/ her, in which way did his post offend igbos?

explorer250:


And i hope you have a boundry definition of what you call Niger Delta. The oil politics that divided igboland will soon be over and the boundry between igboland and your Niger delta(mainly ijaws) will be drawn.

I thank God my people has always been proud of their igboness despite being in Rivers state. The future holds good for us as igbos with the help of our naturally endowed "survival instincts/spirit"

we are developing.
We are expanding.
We are progressing.

Lest i forget. Obigbo is the satelite town of porthacourt. We are doing Good Infrastructurally and otherwise.
What does the future hold for polluted ijaw land?

Wasnt igboland producing palm oil?

Dont igboland have a seaport at porthacourt?

Somalia has the longest coastline in africa but where are they?

Doesnt igboland have more gas reserves and solid minerals than ijaw land?

Dont we have the human resource?

You once said that igbos lack bargaining chips, so what will be your peoples bargaining chips when pure water is more costly than toxic crude?

We are majorities, we can never loose in this game just like the yorubas and hausas though we have our political differences with them. Minority will always remain minority, they will continue to be pawns in the cheese board of Nigeria

You know what? Eurobomber was right!

This chest beating is unnecessary and childish. EVERY STATE IN NIGERIA HAS MINERAL AND HUMAN RESOURCES.
The resources may not necessarily be the same and their products may not necessarily be exported but different economic activities take place in every State and we more interdependent than tribalists think or acknowledge.

Nigeria finds oil and gas in commercial quantities in Anambra


About 30 tcf of gas and 1 bn barrels of crude oil has been found in the Anambra River basin in Anambra State, the Director of Engineering standard in the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Mr Patrick Onwumere, said in Awka.
Mr Onwumere who led a team of experts to assess the volume of gas and crude reserves in the Anambra River basin as well as gauge the preparedness of the state government in the establishment of an indigenous refinery through its oil company, Orient Petroleum Resources, said the team was impressed with what it saw on the ground.

His revelation was coming on the heels of a confirmation by the Managing Director of Orient Petroleum, Engr. Nnaemeka Nwawka that a large hectare of land for the construction of the refinery which would be sited at Otuocha in Anambra East Local Government area of the state had been mapped out. Nwawka added that the only thing delaying full acquisition of the land is the state governor's signature on the certificate of occupancy (CoO) for the land.
According to Onwumene, his team's visit was a preliminary move which has to do with the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the area, the level of land acquisition promised by the governor, and the examination of the extent of work done so far by the Orient Petroleum Resources.

Onwumene also said he and members of his team were interested in seeing that the exploitation of oil and gas takes off earnestly in the state and expressed his team's satisfaction on the state's preparedness to accomplish their exploitation. He said Anambra State had three sources of oil supply which included, the existing local reserve from the Brass/Agip, import from Venezuela as well as the already discovered wells at Oroma-Etiti in Anambra West and Otuocha in Anambra East council areas of the state.
Onwumene said his team found that the state's oil company, Orient Petroleum Resources had maintained good relationships with the host communities, especially those bordering where the refinery would be sited. He added that with the take off of exploitation of oil reserves in the very near future, a lot of jobless indigenes of Anambra State would be gainfully employed.
