Buhari isn't smart, he thinks everything is force, besides this is coming very late as the only thing Kanu wants to hear now is referendum....

who is Kanu pls?

88 percent of electricity that we use in Nigeria and sell to other neighbouring countries are gotten from dams in the north.
We only generate about 12 percent from gas.

You also let us know the source of funds and resources used in establishing and powering those dams in the "north"

Am still here thinking what the Northerners are contributing to Nigeria's National GDP.

For me, I think they are contributing to Nigeria's GDP more than the East and the West.

Try and be more critical and rational with consideration to what GDP means, you might see things differently.

Not trying to relegate or project any region before the other. Just my thinking strictly in response to you thinking.

Majority of those dams were built even before oil was discovered in Nigeria.
Do you know that Nigeria once survive on agricultural,cotton,coal export mostly from the north?
From those export we got funds to explore for crude oil,Niger bridge in Onitsha was built,refineries were built,roads were constructed etc.
Do you know groudnut pyramid in Kano,maybe you were not born by then.
Go and get ur facts.
The north once carried this nation on it's shoulder before oil was discovered ok.

My Brother, I am a Deltan and currently work in Aba. I am indifferent about the biafra/one Nigeria agitation. But I ask you, is Biafra the solution? Why do you Feel intimidated? If an Ibo man is made president today, will it change the situation of things in this country? Would the killings & bombings stop. Would roads (especially) in Aba become better? Would it stop the discrimination within ethnic groups in the country. What do you as an individual stand to benefit from Biafra/how will it improve your ways and the generations yet to come? We should ask ourselves these questions and many more. I tell you bro, the problem isn't Biafra neither is it 'Nigeria' (as agitators) may refer. The problem is me and you.

If Nigeria must remain a country after now, then someone(accountable) of "Igbo" extraction should become president for the sake of equity and fairness. You never can tell that might be the long awaited turnaround the enclave "Nigeria" needs, having(Igbos) proved their economic and intellectual capabilities in diverse ramifications

Ask most people in Nigeria and foreign, Igbo are the most untrustworthy Nigerians and so have the lowest credibility in the country.
Many things igbos write are fake, tainted, doctored or outright lies!

It is almost inconceivable to believe the accounts of many igbo writers and debaters.

Adebowale89:




those appointed in north, of what use are them to liberate the poverty in their community

or those in southwest and south south what have done with their little post to their community

diezani was minister of petroleum for atleast 4years, of what use is her to the community she came from?

when GEJ didn't give southwest much post, you won't see a Yoruba complain because we think deeply what the individual post will add to us

ekeweramadu is the deputy Senate president, what empowerment programme has he organise for the people of his constituency talkless of Enugu and igboland as a whole


am not supporting buhari but as the executive president he has the right to appoint anyone he feel he can do his work. forget federal character because true form of democracy is not what we are practicing in Nigeria

giving all Igbo all the post in Nigeria, has nothing to do with a common igboman, those people who rather enriched themselves and their families. we are only ranting on unnecessary things in Nigeria

All you've said is just your assumption that it adds little or nothing to the different regions when appointments are given, and that's exactly one of the reasons the country is this divided even more than ever. In response to your assertion, it is in the spirit of equity and for the sake of federal character as enshrined in the constitution that appointments should be made so as to avoid unnecessary hitting up of polity as presently being experienced.

Give the appointments and leave the appointee to his people To judge.

And as for The DSP, you shouldn't jump into conclusions on things you barely know about. I'm from His senorita zone and I can tell you that no zone in the country has benefitted from their respective representatives as enugu west senatorial zone, Infact his empowerment programmers extend to areas that are not in his jurisdiction. You should ask yourselves how it was possible for him to defeat an incumbent governor in the race for the zones senate seat.

N.B: I and several persons I know are living beneficiaries of his various human and capital programmes. Though As a typical politician he has his shortcomings, just so you should know, but to a very significant extent he has performed above average. Pls do your findings before you make submissions. Thanks

Are you suggesting the "Igbo" man should be appointed president?

In the last election, we had at least two Igbo candidates, did you hear their names? They didn't even get upto 5,000 votes from their home states.

Politics is a game of interest and alliance which unfortunately, the Igbos are not good at.
Believe me, even if their best candidate comes from APC or runs with a muslim, they won't vote him.

NEWSBiafra: Igbo Assembly tells Buhari what to do to Nnamdi KanuPublished on September 1, 2017 By Ameh Comrade Godwin

Igbo Delegates Assembly (IDA), an umbrella body of Igbos in the 19 northern states and Abuja, has called on the Federal Government of Nigeria to dialogue with the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, and leaders of other agitating groups.

The assembly, rising from a three-day meeting in Abuja, urged the government to shelve the idea of revoking Kanu’s bail.


A communiqué signed at the end of the meeting by Chi Nwogu and ‎Austine Ifedinezi, president general and secretary of the assembly, respectively, urged the federal government to take urgent steps to put Nigeria “on a path of peaceful co-existence, through equitable distribution of patronage and infrastructural development.”

IDA argued that the recent outburst in favour of the establishment of the state of Biafra was simply a response to the socio-economic imbalances in Nigeria which, they added, would give way once the imbalances are genuinely addressed.

The group added that “together as a people and persuade the federal government to put in place a framework for equitable existence in the Nigerian project.

“This should be done through the convocation of a sovereign conference, of the component ethnic nationalities, or an adoption of the reports of the 2014 National Conference.”


On the withdrawal of the October 1, 2017 quit notice on Igbo in the North by Arewa youths, the assembly saluted prominent northerners who worked for peace as well as the courage of the Coalition in backing down.

“It is on this note that we appeal to security agencies to be on guard throughout the period to prevent any breakdown of law and order in any part of Nigeria, especially in the north,” it said.

My brother

How you dey

We do our business up north .

We know what it use to be during the heat of bokoharam

Also we know what it is now

So we can't support any insurgency now be it north or south

In whatever name they will call it

i pray for Bokoharam evereday..May they never stop the killing.

PHILipu1:

have you also reason that our people from the south could also be selling our slots for our people to join the army and other organizations too?
We southerner have one mentality of not wanting another person to be like us.

I have a military general from my village in Edo,who will gladly give his slot or sell his slot in NDA to a northerner than to allow another person from my village to be an officer in the army like him.

Obasanjo was president and wanted to create another state for south-east but your leaders couldn't put their head together,everybody wanted his village as the new state and that was how obasanjo suspended it.

When Ojukwu came out as presidential and vice presidential candidate,how many of your people voted for him?
Did the north stop you guys?

It's not their faults that they are more co-operative than us and that is why they do have things their way.
Check out the history of coups in Nigeria,when northerners want to carry out coups,all their officers co-operate and succed while the southerners could do that and we will come and be blaming the north for ruling us for years.

Didn't we have military officers from south then when all the north were succeeding with their coups?

Some times we blame the north for no reason.

get ur facts right and stop listening to Igbo haters propaganda. south east state creation died with obasanjo third term bid not Igbo leaders.
south east sacrificed it so that obasanjo will not have his third term. many reforms died with obasanjos third term bid. how? obasanjo gave the senate a bill containing many fantastic reforms including the extra state creation for the south east and at the end he added the his third term bill on the same list. so if u are voting for a state creation for the south east u are also voting for his third term bid at the same time. so the igbos had to sacrifice the state creation so that obasanjo will not get his third term. that was what happened. imagine what our democracy would have been like if we had chosen to be selfish and obasanjo gets his term. no be today igbos don dey sacrifice for this country without any appreciation.
so stop saying what u heard from where people are arguing or free newspapers readers joint

as little kids we were meant to see massob members and people shouting biafra as miscreants, we were taught to believe in one nigeria
we held this belief until we came of age.
discrimination stared boldly at us
I was signing the NYSC book of life wen i noticed that most corpers there were born in that region and schooled in that state, something that is hardly seen in the south
I came to discover that the tune for 9 o clock news sounded like an hausa or fulani song
I came to discover that south has the least number of senators and House of reps members there
I came to discover that most of our soldiers are hausas
i came to discover that most of our leaders and politicians were of northern extraction
As an Igbo i found that i will never be the president of nigeria
During NYSC i found out that Hausa corpers were treated with respect while we were treated as rags
I might not support ipob and kanu because of their strategies
Outwardly am called a nigerian, but inside i know i am not just part of this country.
Almost all the major roads in the north are in good condition but i spend up to one hour from oyigbo to eleme
Change my mindset (which is ultimately very difficult) and i will drop biafra

who's fault?

just4sola:
Nobody will dialogue with Kanu, his agenda is very clear from his utterances. Let see his worst. For me Igbos that want to go must go only with their 5 states

why are u yorubas speaking for me.
am from rivers state and I want Biafra
whats ur own and Biafra and 5 states
did Biafra add any Yoruba state?
I don't understand ur obsession with people u hate
let referendum decide it for us, or is it not how it is done in developed world?
I tort u said u are sophisticated, so why are you supporting war before Biafra is achieved
has spain killed any Catalonian because they are protesting? be human for once and forget tribalism
are u no longer sophisticated and modern again? if not why are u all against referendum that is the modern way of achieving separation as against war. U want war because u believe the biafrans cant fight or that they will loose

Sadly for you.........

You did not discover that your ibo forefather ZIK teamed up with the Hausa North to form the same Nigeria you don't want today.

You did not discover that your forefathers drew the first blood when they senselessly slaughtered Yoruba and Hausa military and political leaders.

You did not discover that your ibo forefather Aguiyi-Ironsi abolished regionalism, joined all the regions together and created the same unitary system of government you so much hate today.

You did not discover that your have been and are still members of the same Niigerian military with many in leadership positions.

You did not discover that we've had ibo president, ibo head of state and ibo vice president

You did not discover that we've had and still have ibo ministers, ibo governors, ibo ambassadors, ibo agency directors, ibo federal legislators, ibo senators, ibo party chairman and even was the dominate tribe in the last PDP administration.

You did not discover that your leaders have been and are still part of the same Nigerian government since day and they are not on the same page with you and ipob because they are yet to resign from the Nigerian government or order you and your people to pack your load and head back east to your villages.


Fact is, economic hardship is not limited to your region and even when the looting and stealing orgies was going on during the last PDP administration that your leaders dominated from top to bottom, you were less concerned about economic hardships and your leaders were also not bothered, but after losing the last general election, you all of a sudden found out the meaning of hardships and even till today, many of you still defend and support the same looters responsible for the hardship Nigerians are facing.

You people's agitation has nothing to do with hardship, it's because of your usual and eternal hatred, tribal worries, bitterness and gross inability to live and peacefully co exist with your fellow Nigerians. You even staged a coup and slaughtered other Nigerians when there was no economic hardship in Nigeria so we all know this is all about the same evil mentality and hatred for other people.

Your ipob leader gained prominence not because of his rants about hardship, it was because of the same hate, bitter and tribal rants you've been shouting since the beginning of Nigeria.

It's just funny how you people pretend and play victim over the same ills you created and are responsible as is if Nigerians are stupid forgetful or don't know how you play your silly games.


You reap what you so enjoy and stew in it.

or maybe u meant ground nut refineries. or does Nigeria look like a country that will build refinery for a product that they don't have?
west: cocoa
east: palm oil and coal

PHILipu1:

what funding?
Do you know that it was mostly agricultural produce from the north then when we even had groudnut pyramid in kanu that was used to explore the oil we Niger delta and shouting about?

Do you know that all our refineries were also built from agricultural funds mostly from the north then?

Do you know that the first Niger bride was also built from such funds?

Do you know that most of the dams were built with such funds?

There was time when Nigeria depended on agricultural produce,coal and cotton mostly from the north before we discover oil.
There was a time when one of our major source of income was from textiles factory scathered all over the north.
Oil was discovered and all zones now abandon every other things.

Most of our southern leaders will not tell you guys all this things.

We southerners should not be selfish,there was a time when the north carried this nation on it's shoulder too before oil was discovered.

Indeed, under the Revenue Allocation formula of the First Republic, it was the North that benefitted financially from the contributions of the other three Regions and not the other way round. It will be recalled that by Section 140 of the 1963 Constitution, 50% of oil proceeds went to the Region from which they were extracted, 20 % went to the Federal Government, and 30% was paid into a Distributable Pool. In the allocation of the 30% from the Distributable Pool Account, the North received a disproportionate share which effectively meant contributions from the other Regions. Thus, out of the 30% of the resources of all the four Regions paid into that Account, the percentage paid to each Region was as follows: (a)Northern Nigeria -40% (b)Eastern Nigeria – 31% (c)Western Nigeria – 18% (d)Mid-Western Nigeria -6% (Section 141, 1963 Constitution) Thus, at all periods, since 1914, the North has been and continues to be the major beneficiary of the financial output of the whole country. We must not forget what motivated the British Colonial Power to bring about the amalgamation of 1914. The reason behind the decision of the British Government to amalgamate the two territories (North and South) was purely financial or economic. The Northern Protectorate was not economically viable. It had become a great drain on the British tax payer. On the other hand, the Southern Protectorate was not just economically buoyant, it was producing surpluses every year. The British design was therefore to remove the Northern financial burden from its own neck and hang it on the neck of the hapless Southern Protectorate. According to Lord Harcourt, the British Colonial Secretary, unification of Nigeria demanded both “method” and “a man”. The man was to be Lord Lugard and the method was to be the “marriage” of the two entities. According to Lord Harcourt: “We have released Northern Nigeria from the leading strings of the Treasury. The promising and well conducted youth is now on an allowance on his own and is about to effect an alliance with a Southern lady of means. I have issued the special license and Sir Frederick Lugard will perform the ceremony. May the union be fruitful and the couple constant”. The comparative economic situation of the two halves of Nigeria has not changed in the last 100 years. Rather, the economic power of the South has continued to increase vis-à-vis the North. This explains the fierce opposition of the Northern elites to true federalism, and a National Conference, which might bring this about. On the issue of funds and funding of the Nigerian Federal Government, states and local governments, I think the Northern political and intellectual elite should be grateful to the South, particularly the Niger Delta, the great provider.
