Obiagu1: Seriously, I don't care about oil. We are only limited by our imagination, hard work ethic and willingness to generate wealth, produce a surplus. Nevertheless: South Sudan rules out sharing oil revenue with North http://www.sudantribune.com/South-Sudan-rules-out-sharing-oil,38009 The talks are inconclusive atm |

ShangoThor: guy i am african does not mean i will put africa first before my religion i have never and will never deny my africaness but i will put my religion before any africa crap do you understand moreover why do you think i am arab or out arab first because of my religion,.,.,.,., should i call you a jew because of yor christain faith |
Re: North Can’t Survive Without Niger Delta Oil - Says Minister by Beaf: 2:25am On Feb 25, 2011 |
ShangoThor: Exactly! And I'll keep on hammering it, the way we share money instead of producing it is the reason Nigeria is backward. If we all states had to make money none would allow 10 million members of their workforce to mentally vegetate and roam the land as almajiri's crazed on gutter water, killing, looting and ra'ping the members of society that actually contribute to the economy with their jobs or market trade. |
Re: North Can’t Survive Without Niger Delta Oil - Says Minister by Obiagu1(m): 2:30am On Feb 25, 2011 |
ShangoThor: It's good you said the talk is still inconclusive but you have to note that it was in the 2005 deal that paved the way for the referendum. Can the South renege on that deal? I don't know if they could unilaterally without triggering a war. |
Re: North Can’t Survive Without Niger Delta Oil - Says Minister by Beaf: 2:33am On Feb 25, 2011 |
Obiagu1: Oh yes, they can and will. In life and death situations, you do what is necessary to free yourself, then once free, you rise like a lion. . . lol |
Re: North Can’t Survive Without Niger Delta Oil - Says Minister by Obiagu1(m): 2:34am On Feb 25, 2011 |
Beaf: This does not solve the problem. You guys only complain about the North everytime but keep hold of the oil the North wants. If there won't be any compromise, then stop bothering yourself about the North. If they turn your land to an uninhabitable territory, you only have to move on. If you want them to just go away, make a deal and have your freedom. This is the way I see it. Else, go to war! |
Re: North Can’t Survive Without Niger Delta Oil - Says Minister by Obiagu1(m): 2:37am On Feb 25, 2011 |
Beaf: I don't know the terms of that deal but if it states that the deal must continue after Southern independence, then if the South reneges on the deal and the North goes to war, the world will not view the North as belligerent and will get total support of the world. |
Re: North Can’t Survive Without Niger Delta Oil - Says Minister by Beaf: 2:39am On Feb 25, 2011 |
Obiagu1: I haven't said they should go away, but if it ever comes to that, we will raise the sort of army West Africa has never seen in a few short days. It will be like judgement day! lol At least for that, oil is gud! |
Re: North Can’t Survive Without Niger Delta Oil - Says Minister by Obiagu1(m): 2:41am On Feb 25, 2011 |
Beaf: Goodluck with that. What if your were defeated and turned to slaves? |
Re: North Can’t Survive Without Niger Delta Oil - Says Minister by ShangoThor(m): 2:44am On Feb 25, 2011 |
alj harem: Read what I wrote: 'Foreign Religions', all monotheistic religions derive from Africa, where it was first practiced, Egypt to be precise, prior to the Arabian conquest. As I said before, Black Africa, and the Welfare of Black Africans should always be put first and this will be the last revolution in Africa, where Africans will take a stand. They will awaken eventually. |
Re: North Can’t Survive Without Niger Delta Oil - Says Minister by Beaf: 2:48am On Feb 25, 2011 |
Obiagu1: Thats some funny shyte! No oil country can lose a war against a fellow under developed country. Not possible, instead we will draw our borders where we like. Two weeks should do the job. |
Re: North Can’t Survive Without Niger Delta Oil - Says Minister by ShangoThor(m): 2:51am On Feb 25, 2011 |
Obiagu1: @ Obagui, there is no point in preempting the outcome of the talks, and I don't believe the West would watch idly while the Southerners are being slaughtered. Well, just let's wait and see what the agreement will be. Either way, I know it sets a blueprint for a recurrence. |
Re: North Can’t Survive Without Niger Delta Oil - Says Minister by Obiagu1(m): 2:54am On Feb 25, 2011 |
ShangoThor: Exactly, it sets a blueprint for a recurrence most probably in Nigeria. |
Re: North Can’t Survive Without Niger Delta Oil - Says Minister by odumchi: 3:02am On Feb 25, 2011 |
It is true, the East powers Nigeria. Only a fool will disagree. Other than our oil, what else is funding Nigeria? Do you think that Hausa nnama and granut can sustain them? |
Re: North Can’t Survive Without Niger Delta Oil - Says Minister by Obiagu1(m): 3:04am On Feb 25, 2011 |
Beaf: This is how I analyze situations. 1st scenario: Currently, oil is shared in Nigeria right? The North gets more according to their inflated population right? This is the point; oil revenue is being shared right now. You said you did not want them to go away. Good, but you don't have the liberty you'll wish for, the liberty to manage ecological damage you witness in your towns and cities. If you continue with them, there is every possibility the situation will remain the same or slightly improved. 2nd scenario: If you let them secede with oil revenue still being shared, but you'll have your freedom. Away from all the grudges and murder that go on in the North, away from the threat to turn your territory to a sharia state. Of the 2 scenarios, which one do you prefer? Remember, oil revenue is shared in both! |

^^^^^^^^ Read my lips ~ We don't negotiate with terrorists! Oooops, did I say that out aloud? It must have been a Freudian Slip or something. LOL |
Re: North Can’t Survive Without Niger Delta Oil - Says Minister by Beaf: 3:14am On Feb 25, 2011 |
Obiagu1: Your analysis is flawed. It is obvious to everyone that exploitation by the North is on its last legs; in my opinion, we should be thankful to God that GEJ is President today, because Yar Adua was driving the country toward war they would have bitterly regretted. If the exploitation didn't stop in the soft way its ending under GEJ, it would have ended in a very violent way. Since Yar Adua's time, I've been preaching that sophisticated armies can be raised in days, events in Libya show that analysis to be correct. Oil can do wonders. If we go, we will not share a drop of oil with vulture or parasite that can't save themselves by doing an honest days job. |
Re: North Can’t Survive Without Niger Delta Oil - Says Minister by Obiagu1(m): 3:18am On Feb 25, 2011 |
ShangoThor: Hahaha, I know some will say we won't share but the truth is that we are already sharing.. It's a fact we don't know what we want. I can only say no if I could just break away and they wouldn't do a damn thing because I am stronger than them but we are not. The problem is that we don't look at the big picture and weigh options because if we do, then you'll know we have a way out. |
Re: North Can’t Survive Without Niger Delta Oil - Says Minister by Obiagu1(m): 3:19am On Feb 25, 2011 |
Beaf: That means you're ready to go to war. It's interesting to hear. I'll wait for you to start the war and can wait patiently while enjoying "Nigeria" as it pushes us in different directions. |
Re: North Can’t Survive Without Niger Delta Oil - Says Minister by Beaf: 3:27am On Feb 25, 2011 |
Obiagu1: Nobody is going to be pushed forever. We aren't anybodies slaves. |

Are we still on that? Muh'fucka we off that. |
