RESOLUTIONS of the joint parliamentary ses­sion of the South-South and South-East state Houses of Assembly held in Owerri, Imo State have been adopted by the Delta State House of Assembly.

The joint parliamentary session took resolutions on two key issues affect­ing the two geo-political zones.

Majority Leader of Delta State House of Assembly, Tim Owhefere moved the motion, which was unani­mously adopted during plenary yesterday.

Owhefere, who doubles as the chairman, House Committee on Informa­tion, told newsmen after the plenary that the two key issues were the Graz­ing Reserve Bill before the National Assembly and the Niger Delta question.

He explained that the regional lawmakers con­demned the bill on the grazing reserve, as it was another obnoxious Land Use Act that had impacted negatively on the people.

He said it was observed that about 80 percent of land in the geopolitical zones were already cov­ered by oil exploration and exploitation with the attendant pollution, say­ing that the remaining 20 percent in use for farming and other purposes cannot be ceded for the purpose of cattle grazing.

Owhefere emphasised that the regional legisla­tors rejected the Grazing Reserve Bill, saying it was anti-people of the two zones and challenged the federal lawmakers to do the needful by throwing out the bill for the sake of unity of the country.

On the situation in the Niger Delta region, Ow­hefere said the joint ses­sion took a stand against pipeline vandalism in the area but urged the Federal Government to reassess its present disposition on the issue.

He stated that it was resolved that the federal government should enter into a peaceful dialogue with critical stakeholders in the zones to resolve the dispute and operate with­in the rules of engagement without incurring collat­eral damage similar to that of Odi massacre of 1999.

SamMilla1:
Very good.

I hope our friends from the West will join us.
It's good to have one voice in the entire south.
We need to send a message to the Fulas that we are united too.

MayorofLagos:


We depend on oil now and SS cant even carry itself, not to talk of supporting the whole country.

If you turn off the oil and dry up the national revenue from oil exports, Yorubaland singlehandedly can sustain Nigeria. No other region or people has capability to do that.

So who are you that we need to join you, what influence or power do you have from SS/SE to shape national events across Nigeria?

AFONJAS will not like this unity

YorubaFynest:


Once again Ibos drag Yoruba/SW into this force SS/SE marriage.

Are you guys okay?

Join you kini? A group that hates itself?

Is it by force?

The SW is not interested. Lagos + Oyo + Ogun + Ondo + Ekiti is not joining y'all. The SW's voice alone is enough to drown these two regions combined.

SamMilla1:


Are you the SW?
Who are you again?
Tinubu or Obasanjo?

SamMilla1:
Very good.

Why make it look like anybody is begging you to join?
Just to massage a useless ego.

They can't do anything without Yoruba holding their hands, yet they don't have respect for us.

SamMilla1:



How exactly are you going to sustain Nigeria single handedly?
What do you produce?
Rice? Tomato? Onions? Meat? Yam?
Give me a name please.


Let's be civil and avoid abuse. Just throw your points.

Your cocoa cannot sustain Ekiti State alone.
And don't point to the Airport or Seaport, the moment The South East and North pulls out, only one ship will be offloading every two months in Apapa Wharf. As for the Airport, The BA can be showing up at MM twice a week at most.

Let's be civil and avoid abuse. Just throw your points.

YorubaFynest:


Dumb questions.



Who are your friends from the West that you want to join you? Is your unity so weak that you must mention West each time your corrupt politicians sit around a round table?

You're begging. And we're saying no.

GTkester:


God forbid. I prefer to be in alliance with a stone than to have the SW in any kind of agreement. Please SW can go to their Fulani masters. We in the better south do not need them.

YorubaFynest:


What does your region produce that can sustain your whole region?

Why are you cowards so weak that you must drag the West into your politics?

SamMilla1:


[s]Maybe we should make a rule that no body mentions any other tribe on this forum, and see who gets banned first.

Once again, nobody is begging you to join anybody. If you have any sense, you will understand that whether you like it or not, we are all in Southern Nigeria; Both West and East.

We can stay apart and hate each other all we want, afterall nobody is begging for food from the other. But whether you agree or not, the South East aren't rushing to borrow money from you any time soon because apart from Lagos that belongs to everybody, I don't see anywhere else better than the rest.

SamMilla1:


What exactly does South East import from South West?
Just name one.

YorubaFynest:


Trash.

What concerns the SW with this thread and why are you worried that we aren't interested?

lincolnj88:
is dis latest line , you can sustain nigeria...... Fucking parasite. Osun, ogun,oyo, kwara,ekiti can't even sustain their self when there is free oil , talk abt when there is no oil
Part of the cash u want to use to sustain nigeria use it to pay ya hopeless civil servants salaries before sustaining others... Ewu

SamMilla1:


Northern governors from the three regions in the north meet regularly to discuss about the entire north, even though they are bigger than the south geographically.

Two out of the three regions in Southern Nigeria had a meeting, and you are asking what concerned the remaining one.


Apparently, I have been wasting my time discussing this with you. Have a good day.

ycat:
You just asked the west to join, but we said no! The last time I checked, south is in Nigeria so are north and middle belt. Let everyone bear in papa name.

YorubaFynest:


Imagine 51% from the SW made GEJ lose, while 95% SS/SE votes for GEJ.

Why do you think SE wants the West in this their fake unity so bad?

SamMilla1:
Very good.

I hope our friends from the West will join us.

We need to send a message to the Fulas that we are united too.
