hilroy: And how exactly were Arewa-Oduanistanis significant in African history? Other than killing each other in expansionism driven quest and lust for subjugation of weaker groups amongst each other, what did Arewa-Oduanistanis add to modern or even African civilization? Were your arts better than those of Igbo ukwu? What were you good at other than running over the planet like salvages killing one another only to chicken out and accept colonialism on your knees, when the whites showed? The ignorance driven arrogance, overbloated sense of importance and delusions of grandeur of an average Arewa-Oduanistani is a source of comedy for me. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

pazienza: Can you see your life. I thought you will counter my post with food you produced in Igboland. I repeat, with exception of Cassava, Oil palm and Yam that can grow in difficult terrain most crops cannot survive in barren erosion ravaged Alaigbo. Pepper in Nsukka? I laugh in chinese...do you think we are talking of sustenance farming to feed one or two family. 2 Likes |

hilroy: You are ignorant and know next to nothing about Igboland. The North is a semi Arid region, and if everything remain constant, the Sahara Desert would continue to descend southward deep into the North. You should be worried about that. Yes! Pepper is produced in commercial quantity in Nsukka, as an 042 guy, I know this, cos you would always see those colorful exotic yellow pepper in markets in Enugu, the market women call it "Ose Nsukka". Most countries import one or many of their food items from outside. What matters is that Ndiigbo have the money to import these foods we don't grow at the interim, from everyother place but the North, while we work on growing local production of those food items in commercial quantities. The real losers would be the Northern farmers, who would lose the market for their food produce. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

hilroy: Hahaha you just talk based on your desire to degrade Igbos. That they have been insignificant compared to the North? Pmease tell me, how significant was the North begore the Arabs came with sword in one hand and the quran in the other? Please share how significant the North was before the Arab invaders came along. Igbos can feed themselves if they mean to. Worse comes to worse they will impirt from neghbouring countries to suppliment what they grow. The North should be grateful for the purchasing power and population of the south not to become proud. If south decided to go cameroun import what the North is using to make mouth, who will the Northern farmers turn to? 6 Likes 1 Share |

hilroy:Much of the food consumed there is from Cameroun, I am a living witness, In fact Cameroun is what I will call Africa's Biggest farmland. I travelled from Nigeria to Gabon by road and saw all these things, go to Limbe, Bafousam, Mamfe and many other places in Cameroun from there to Bitam in Gabon, You will find huge farms every here and there, food is dirt cheap there, so the supply food to Nigeria, Gabon, Congo (Brazaville), Eqautorial Guinea, in fact Cameroun supplies food to all the CEMAC countries plus Niageria.

hilroy: Still has Islamic names and they were not great pre Islamic northern Nigeria only empire. I said tell me how Northern Nigeria as a whole was before the muhamed's , Ali's and other Islamic nations took control of it or migrated into parts of it. Igbos were running their own show and rulling themselves while Muslim sounding names from Mali etc were taking over the North conquering them and adding them to their empire. While the North was being rulled and empires built on bloodshed even as they are trying to do today, you guys were too blinded by blood to notice that other peoples had their own societies growing and thriving. Since you know google, go and search for Nri kingdom. Maybe you also need to read some other non nirthern related text books too. 1 Like |

I see many of you guys talking from emotions but the reality is barren erosion savaged lands in Alaigbo can never sustain the population if you get your Biafra. This has been proven to be true when millions starved to death during civil war. Igbo absolute depends on others to survive which is the reason you see them everywhere and not because they are industrious. Selling gala and lacasera on the highway with 50% chance of getting knocked down by car is not industrious, it is struggling to survive in a foreign land 3 Likes |

hilroy: Dont weep for them. They will take care of it as they have been doing since. If North no gree sell their food to biafra but woukd rather let it rot in their farms, other neighbouring countries would sell. We talking econonics you talking hausa feeds Nigeria. Is the feeding free? Hausa depends on the south to sell what they produce. If una too vex make una keep una tomaties and onions and chop it alone. It is a shame that someone who depends on his clients money can turn around to inault his clent again. Shebi na client get money? Its only a matter of time when he would seek another merchant to buy from then the traders eyes will clear. As if the North doesnt depend on the purchasing power of the Igbos and other regions to survive. Should Igbos then Say the North is broke without theim? This is not time for sentiments. If Igbos go assuming the SS goes with them. So they leave with the crude oil and then stop buying food from the North. What then does the North do? Their only saving grace would be if the igbos can not fnd a way to buy food from other countries. Worse comes to worse there would be scarcity of food for a while till Igbos re strategise and start sourcing from another place. 7 Likes 1 Share |

This post is laced with misinformation and prejudice. The money in the federation account which is shared among ALL the tiers of Government comes from royalty paid by oil exploration and export, import duties paid to the Nigerian customs, taxation on economic activities within Nigeria, remittances from public corporations and profit generating MDAs and EXPORT duties from other non-oil export like cocoa (mainly from the S/West) ,hides &skin and leather products (mainly from the North), solid minerals, Timber , ginger, gum Arabic etc . delishpot: 1 Like |

oyatz: But when economy crashes they lay blame on slow sales or poor rates of crude ba? When has the poor performance of Nigerian economy ever been blamed on poor hide sale? Even your government agrees that the crude oil is the most profitable and important product the Nigerian economy depends on. Not that I support the breakup of Nigeria but if the North decides to brag about their food the South can also boast of the important role their oil plays. Stop receiving yourself. Like I said before, your hide, ginger etc do they just go to the North, take their farms, harvest the available ginger without paying to the farmer who has grown that ginger and export his ginger abroad just as they do crude oil?. Are the farmers not the ones directly making cash from the sales of their products to exporters while the rest of Nigeria only shares from the duties, taxes etc paid?on the other hand, crude oil is not first purchased from the locals directly, exported and the revenue from exportation shared amongst Nigerian States. These are two different things. |

In the event of a break up, every part of the Country CAN SURVIVE AND THRIVE, may be not equally (few things are equal in life). However, every segment will be negatively affected in the immediate period after the break up because we are deeply interdependent than what tribal bigots know or willing to acknowledge . |

Good questions. 1) The economy was brought to its knees when the prices of oil crashed because the country rely majorly on export of oil as a source of income. This doesn't mean, there are no other sources generating income or capable of generating income. Its just that, for years, the Governments (including your State's government) have neglected other economic activities which can be developed to generate greater income than oil. 2) There are many economic activities going on in Nigeria presently from which Government can generate substantial income through various forms of taxation but Government is not looking in that direction e.g Mining, Maritime, Agric , Power sector etc. delishpot: |
Re: Biggest Lie Ever Told(the North Feeds Nigeria) by delishpot: 3:04pm On Jun 15, 2017 |
oyatz: Oh well, my comment was based on your post that oil isnt the majour bulk of Nigerias Revenue..I know there are many other things we could benefit from in Nigeria but I fear that we are not in position to start doing them. I mean, our land would be totally messed up judging by how lax and greedy our leaders are there wil be too many conflicts and Nigeria as a whole would go to the dogs. Take blood diamond for example. Our leaders would sell out to foreign interests. Let us just balance well and reset our brains befote we start abusing the land even more. |

EzeUche:FACT! Are you surprised that whenever we talk about Biafra, the barbarians will start talking about an imaginary war? The reason is that they know they are finished without Nigeria! They are now facing the stark reality, & the outlook is so scary to them that they will prefer to die in an imaginary war with Biafra than face this grim & horrific reality facing them! Biafra vs Nigeria war was possible in 1967 simply because there was a central government for the whole East, & East simply changed name to Biafra, but now is different, what we have are different states governed by different men with the masses united & resolute in their demand for Biafra. Now, referendum becomes inevitable, but a.b.o.k.i.s are likely going to beg for restructuring. 1 Like |
