Support criminals? You are just trying to be smart by jumping to conclusions.

The reality is that our 36 states structure is no longer sustainable by 'oil'. The early we take the bull by the horn and restructure this fraudulent entity for genuine development the better for us all.

Unfortunately greedy elites/politicians and their hanger-on won't allow such, hence our going around in circles doing same thing that never helped.

Over 5 decades of independence and we are still talking light, fuel, roads, salary. Is that not a fact that the old ways had failed us?

Thewrath:
In this country,ordinary pipeline is more important than human life.


Modified:for those quoting me,no be who dey alive dey use light and fuel?
Do the dead use light and fuel?
How would those killed by herdsmen in Enugu and other parts now use the fuel and light(that it's price is to now sell over #100).

any community that allow and hide millitant wil be level down, no mercy for millitant, boko haram,fulani herdsmen,kidnappers,ipod and corrupt politicians.

Here goes another unintelligent mind feeling fly.
My history taught me that for every civil genuine uprising you'll always have criminals and profiteers hijacking it but that still won't kill the consciousness and awareness that has been created , it is just a matter of time before some smart ass with focus and dedication picks up the line and give you a run for your money.
Continue deluding yourselves , the wind of real change is about to blow and the world will witness .

Is part of your agitation for Biafra includes destroying public infrastructure and assets in the East? Why not start with the pulling down of University of Nigeria in Nsukka to show you mean business.
You people like giving people things you can't tolerate

frehage:


I think they bomb these assets without any emotional attachment even though they are in their backyard because they feel no sense of ownership or sense of belonging. The assets and oil blocks are owned by people of other regions. And for those owned by the FG , the NNPC et al are dominated by these same regions.

Give Niger Deltans a little sense of ownership(not just derivation) and this recurring restiveness will magically disappear.

loopman:


You know what they call your logic? cutting the nose to spite the face. You lose at the end. You devastate your environment and all your aquatic will be messed up. The Ipob eddiots goading you on are several kilometers away and have no sea and don't give a damn if you lose your own water resources.

Would you remain unperturbed if fully armed millitary commandos come knocking on your door/community in middle of the night,asking questions with an arsenal of assorted wepons pointed at u all the while. Even their traditional ruler was scared to sh*ts...

permit me to digress a little from the subject of my earlier post on this thread.

I watched the Nigeria - Biafran Hostilities posted by someone (whose username i have forgotten) on a thread about the DSS embarrassment of Ikedife and Utomi. I am not so sure.

After watching the video, I cannot but salute the courage, the determination, and the might of our great biafran soldiers who died in other to remain alife.

In deed, they died for something.
In the words of jack bauer in the movie 24 ' it is better to die for something than to die for nothing'

My father who happen to fight for his fathers land told me not to blame them for going to war. According to him, the war was practically inevitable at that time.

He also told me not to blame Ojukwu for the war. That he (Ikemba) did what any leader would have done.

According to my father, what was in the mind of every Biafran youth in 1967 was war because our brothers and sisters were being killed in their thousand in the north.

My father told me to my surprise that Ojukwu did not want to go to war. The biafran youths who could not stand and watch their flesh and blood being butchered in the north demanded 'Ojukwu nye anyi egbe' that is Ojukwu give us guns.

Biafra lost the war. But they have made their point. My father told me, if biafrans did not fight, we would have been in a dipper shit in the Nigeria of today.

I remember an event that happened during my primary school. I was in elementary four at that time. There was a boy in my class who derives joy in beating me.

The boys name is Kenneth. He was a bully. He fancied beating me of all the boys and girls in my class and i feared him the way women fear snake.

The boy was my nightmare. Each i remember going to school i will feel bad because of Kenneth.

Then one day, a very faithful day, I was with one of my friends, he was telling me about the karrate film he watched called The drunken master.

I was still listening to this 'epic' film when Kenneth the bully came from behind and gave me a very hard knock on the head.

That was all. I could not take any of that again. I was prepared to die. I fought him. I fought like i have not done before. I told my friend never to separate the fight. And he did not.

After the fight, though i was defeated, Kenneth became tactically afraid of me. My boldNess grew. Me that hardly talk in class became a talkactive. I shout down at Kenneth at any slightest opportunity and he never did anything again to me until we left primary school.

While i do not support any form of violence, it is important to understand that there are times when one must fight. Otherwise you become slave in your own father's house.

My only blame to Biafrans was fighting at a wrong time. But then my father told me it was inevitable at that time.

A worthy soldier knows when to push, when to pull, when to resist, and most importantly when to run away.

Ojukwu, hate him or love him, remains the greatest Igbo man of all times.

He is loved by his people even after death.

To show their love for Ojukwu, his people gave him a worthy burial that no man born of a woman has received on the planet earth.

I was in Nnewi at that time. It was awe inspiring. Even his enemies could not but say that he is in deed a great man.

Now, each time i read about the animosity and the fight between the Igbos and the Yorubas, I always tell myself that the north is indeed playing their cards well.

They (the north) understood that to maintain their hold on power these two tribes must not see eye to eye.

What pains me the most is that Igbos and the Yorubas do not seem to understand this.

My closest friend Seun is a Yoruba man. Each time i visit lagos, I stay in his house. He and his family have been to my house in the east a couple of times.

Each time I bring up the issue of the level of hatred between our people, he always tell me that some persons are a gaining from it. And would do any thing to ensure that their is no peace between the two major tribes.

I believe my friend, but I blame the Igbo and the yoruba the more.

Have you ever wondered why, the Igbos, the yorubas, the itsekiris, the ijaws, the middle belt tribes want resource control but the hausa/fulani will have non of that?

Yet what they(hausa/fulani) want prevails.

Have you ever wondered why the Igbos, the yorubas, the itsekiris, the ijaws, the idomas etc want state police, regional autonomy, a sort of confederal arrangement, yet the hausa/fulani would not have any of that. Yet what they want prevails.

Are we in the south and middle belt cursed? Are we under a spell? Are jinxed?

To be continued.

However, the Pere (traditional ruler) of Gbaramatu Kingdom, HRM Oboro-Gbaraun II, Aketekpe, Agadaba, who was scared stiff with his subjects during the invasion, offered, Monday, to mediate in the face-off between the Federal Government and Tompolo despite his dissatisfaction with the neglect of the kingdom by government.
