I have been thinking along this line and I think Ekpa is right. Why did it happened in the Igbo dominated area? Too many questions begging for answers.

But Igbos only live in RAGOS na, moreover what will an Igbo man be doing in a " blown loof enviloment " like Ibadan?.

Ozommadu:
You forgot rehabilitation and releasing terrorists back to the society.


Apc is evil

Rehabilitation kor revitalization ni, oh how I love Chinese solutions.
Lace their worthless bodies with masked poisons and release them to die miserably at home.
Those who inflict pains on others deserve no considerations, even God is a killing machine, no peace for the wicked.

Unemployment can't go away easily by creating jobs. The question is that how many people can these companies employ, and can they even pay a decent salary or wage? The government should give out grants to the teaming youths of Nigeria to encourage self employment, and unemployment alongside underemployment will be reduced to single digit.

Chai, they encourage job creation everywhere even in America.
Ever heard of Non farm payroll?.
Government can empower the youths to be self employed, when the self employed youths eventually grow their business, they will still be creating jobs and be employing people or are you anti job creation?.

LMAO. Abeokuta which the dahomeans fought was NEVER conquered. Only Abeokuta ooo, and not even the whole Yoruba land. They invaded and were repelled. Abeokuta now took the war to their land to finish them of. Dahomey was even under Oyo.

https://guardian.ng/life/the-1851-invasion-of-abeokuta-by-the-lethal-dahomey-amazon-warriors/

The was a liberation war, after a 100 years of subjugation to Oyo empire.
Oyo was already collapsing due to constitutional crisis in Oyo.
Everything is written in the West African history.

Raf4:
All their villages + all their towns + all their cities + all their bushes + all their farms + all their markets + all their huge population + all their everything is just about the size of Oyo state.

His soul and the soul of every con artist out there will never rest in peace.

Funny thing is that this pastors with their fake miracles confuse the gullible to abandon medication and their case get worse or they even die while they and their family have access to one of the best medical services in the world

Con - vinced not forced.
You self think am na.
Even I was almost con - fused.
Thank God for the king James version of the Bible, I escaped.
Guyana massacre, Stargate, heavens gate mass suicide and hosts of other religious hogwash, culminating in avoidable deaths, no be today bro, e don tey.
Nigerian Christians should read and understand their bibles, this is the only way out.
So that when a motivational speaker begins to preach nonsense, they can quickly jump out, before he carry dem go where dem no know.

DMerciful:
What will this do for you?

It will do this country a lot of good.
You can't know where you're going, if you don't know where you're coming from.

N3TRAL:
Growing up amongst people who are geographically from the South of the country has made me realize that phrases like "power must return to the south" are laced with deceit.


There is actually no "South" in the heart of the average person from this part of the country. The part of the country hates and despises others in the deeper south and East while loving and revering our fellow citizens up North.

I had a conversation recently with about 10 young professionals from the part of the country. They were all in their early 20s. All of them confessed that they loved the Northerners more than those from "South South" or the "South East". Their reason was that the Northerners were "humble" and "did not like money".

It is heart breaking that a younger generation have inherited the hate of their parents against a group that contribute meaningfully to the economic life of their towns while loving those who have only tried to conquer their enclave starting from Ilorin.

Sometimes I think that the hate is motivated by envy and deep rooted jealousy.

This one choke o, accept my sympathy.
I guess the current president is not from the South, your heart aches though.
But still na the thing wey your grandparents cook you go chop.
Iyan egberun odun ma ngbona feli feli, ask the Chinese.

bestman09:
Confused and selfish lots. This is what OBJ tried to do 17 years ago and this same tinubu and his gang fought against it raining insults on OBJ till Yaradua cancelled the process. 17 good years wasted chasing shadows

Really? But he succeeded in selling NITEL, Nigeria Airways, Alscon and Aladja steel rolling mills, he even sold 1004 flats, throwing Nigerians out if jobs and on the streets.
Where are those companies today?. privatisation of these businesses were supposed to make them profitable or am I missing something?.
Una go just come online to dey misyern, victims of unprofitable privatisation policy are yet to collect their pensions and gratuities, while some are even dead.
E no go ever better for anyone, that was ever a member of PDP.
Long story short, it shall forever be ill with PDP and their supporters.

Iceberg3:
This is a big opportunity for the south to come together and make such positive moves cos we know the north will not agree to this.

Remove my West from your South.

Judolisco:
Na so... Some people said dangote built only a depot not a refinery....d same people dat believed buhari was cloned and replaced with jubril from Sudan.... Dem go soon dey vex with dis good news now

Their problem, if they like let them commit suicide, ko kan aye.
Blessed are those who did not see but believed.
God bless the man wey see front, Akanbi omo olodo ide.

Dobodobo04:
Not entirely true.

If Dangote buys Nigeria’s crude at market rate, he refines the crude, sell to Nigerians at competitive rate in Naira, sell to international market also at competitive rate and hopefully make profit from both local and international market to pay off his debt and keep the refinery operating.

If he sells to the Nigerian market in Naira, which he should do by law, there would be less burden on forex.

Don’t forget that some of the crude derivatives have bigger demand overseas than in Nigeria, so he should be able to attract forex with ease in the overseas market.

Only way there could be a problem is if he has no money to buy crude.
As long as he buys his crude in Naira equivalent of a USD/barrel and sells to Nigeria in Naira , no issue.

Also, we avoid Dollar/Naira volatility. If Dangote buys let’s say 600,000 barrels from Nigeria a day from now for the whole year

600,000 x 366 x (78 Dollar/b *800 exc rate)=

Approx N15 trillion Naira stays in Nigeria. Which can be used to fund half of our budget a year.

Also, that’s N15 trillion naira staying in Nigeria. Imagine the multiplier effects on the economy!!

Stop explaining to folks like this, a smart 10 years old will solve this kinds of equation.
What they wish the country is about to hit them, their projections for petrol and dollar has run into a ditch.
Let them sell their #1,200 per liter petrol on X, Nigerians will buy from Dangote.
God bless Nigeria.

coleon:
I have consistently informed anybody that cares to read on this forum that Dangote will not boost Nigeria's forex earnings and you are still making this nonsense submission.
PresentlyNigeria is exporting her crude oil to earn FX or adopting the NNPC model to swap crude for petrol. Either way crude and fx change hands.
Now if instead of using that crude to get FX you give Dangote to refine then the alternative forgone is FX that should have been earned selling the crude. If after Dangote refines and he exports then the crude returns to Nigeria for which he will repay shell and co that he sources the crude from.
Now any profit Dangote makes in the process will go into settling his enormous debt for the refinery or his escrow account offshore which is the model all the oil companies in Nigeria runs.
They all do not save any of their proceeds in Nigeria but with JP Morgan chase in US and you can't blame them because the oil market is internationally denominated in USD.
So please and please forget Dangote to come and solve your FX problems for you and look elsewhere.

As long as Nigeria won't be spending her scarce FX to import fuel and pay some stinking fuel subsidies, better days are here.

theowane:
Are you OK at all?!
Even if we are all criticising Buhari, he should take 90% of the glory.

Those who facilitate the siting of the refinery at Ibeju Lekki should take the glory.
Guess who?, the person is still Tinubu.

Christistruth03:
It is manufacturing Nigeria needs not wholesale importation

Thanks bro, production is job creation.
They want to import even things we can produce in Nigeria, but wants government to give them jobs.
Awon werey.

Armaggedon:
Her people are coming for her.

Unfortunately for her likes, some Igbos are using this opportunity to survey lands and make other arrangements regarding their permanent relocation. The one I met last Tuesday in one location in Anambra told me He will start relocation this year, such that in two years time, his business will maintain only skeletal services in lagos.

Those who think I am lying should wait in few years time and once again, comfirm the power of social media.

Let that woman find another means of livelihood, or carry her business to Igboland.
You guys should shut the door behind you, I'm happy you guys are moving out.
Thanks for doing so

Aregbe wey don beome eleregbe, a fi igo lo aso.

YelloweWest:
Wow. You judge 30years of marriage by not being there at the time of death? Do you know what happened??

I will like to know what really happened, Betty Akeredolu just needs to be beside her husband wherever he goes for treatments and the story might have been different.
What is greater than life?, Is power greater than life?, all the power and money in this world can't buy a single life, so what's special about money and power?.
A woman that should have been the one begging her husband, to hand over and focus on staying alive.
People needs to focus on the most important things, its not a sign of weakness, it is a show of courage and intelligence..
Now that the man is dead, can she still hold on to the power?.
Yorubas' says eyan o ki nle nkan meji, ko ma pa adanu ikan.
You can't chase two things and not lose one.
In Betty Akeredolu's case she lost both,
Omi danu, agbe tun fo.
For an educated woman of Betty Akeredolu's caliber, it's been an absolute total rubbish.
Pure unadulterated nonsense.

Kennyswag:
I wonder what a handsome man like akeredolu saw in this ugly masculine appearing igbo woman with a male baritone

it shall not be well with her and her tribe

Chai.

SirBunky85:
power brings out the real character of people. Betty is too petty.go to her Facebook page and read the type of posts she makes.no Governors wife has ever been this petty like Betty

Seriously?.

Edusouls:
sick people everywhere, Yorubas una tribalism na the worst in the whole Nigeria, just because she is an Igbo woman every one is now crawling out of his or hole to yahn dust, idiots everywhere

Akeredolu died in a German hospital, was his wife of 30 years with him at his last moment?.
If the woman was there with him, she has no case to answer, but if she wasn't there with him at that moment, then Akeredolu made a wrong choice of a wife.
What could be more important than her husband's life?.

Goddyrichie:
oga shut up 🤫 if a better country where they is work where government care 4 her citizen nothing like fraud there or low fraud case or either d fraud commit by foreigners but country that d government don’t even care 4 her citizens no job something like this we always happen dem go jail people tire no b small

How many jobs did your relatives create?.
Ordinary poultry, employ Nigerians and they'll loot you to stupor.
Una no dey shame?.
Nigerians who are committing crimes abroad, na unemployment cause am?.
Swerve jor.

Fearyourcreator:
Are they qualified in the first place... Most of them are not employable

Don't mind them o, my brother follow the honourable way, your time will come.
You need to see them in school, even their certificate na scam, I once interviewed a graduate who had distinction in marketing, what are the 4Ps?, she cannot answer.
There are no easy way, as if they've not heard about the narrow way.

Paramount01:
Some of them are not poor, in fact some of the their parents are stickly rich, is convectiouness that leads them to that, are we it having poor people in western world why are they not involve in yahoo

Tell him bro.

Boldideas:
If funds meant for industrialization wasn't Embezzled, what on earth will make this young men not to work with their hands? This I'd indeed pathetic. Their future is ruined! They can't contest for any office again. Sad!

Stop holding briefs for criminal minded youths.
Oyenusi the baddest armed robber in Nigeria was a practicing and a successful medica doctor, before a friend tried to test run Oyenusi's firi firi jazz in a bank.
The unexpected success of that experiment, was what turned Dr Oyenusi into a notorious armed robber.
If it's so easy, why work hard?. this same mind set is what drove youth of today, into all kinds of crimes today
Dr Oyenusi saga happened in the 70s, was he also unemployed then?.
Oyenusi was a colossus kind of armed robber o, forget Anini the only name that's closer is Shina Rambo, and even Shina Rambo is not deprived, he only wants fast easy money, that's all.
And During the time of Anini and Shina Rambo, there was nothing like unemployment, this is the 90's.
Yet there were yahoo people During this period, there are drug pushers too.
Yahoos were called 419, " gbajue "during this period, they keep it low 'cause they are not celebrated.
Alright Nigerians that are getting caught for fraud and money related crimes abroad, are also unemployed?.
Abeg shift jor.

Difrent:
Dey play
Wetin you go call what igbos have been doing to BAT since ?

So e dey pain una if them insult una.....but you think you have the monopoly of insulting othe tribes elders abi?

Una never see anything

You still think igbos can intimidate anybody in this Nigeria in 2023?...you lot have been demystified and made a laughing stock.

PBAT and PMB proved anyone can become Nigerias president without igbo votes. So do what you wish with your 5% irrelevant votes

Rewind back to 2007, go and see how Igbos have been embarrassing and disgracing Tinubu, calling him a local champion and all sorts of names.
They became even more vicious in their attacks when Goodluck Jonathan became president, they never see anything wrong in what they were doing.
Thank God for the Warrior spirit in Tinubu, just look at how he's made nonsense of these toothless bull dogs, their barkings have now turn to despair.
They are only paying for their ungrateful mindset, did Tinubu hate Igbos?, the record says otherwise.
Did Tinubu collect any of their political benefits?, he hasn't ever been in the same political party with them.
Now that Tinubu has achieve what they dreaded the most, for a reason best known to all Nigerians, which is that he is a better player than all Igbo players, what can they do about it?.
Messi just won another best footballer of the year award, because he is still the best.
These people should just give up on hating Tinubu they can't stop him, or they might end up killing themselves.
As far as politics is concerned in this country at the moment, it's Tinubu and others.

Christistruth00:
In his last Map of Biafra Simon Ekpa packed the Itsekiri and all the Yorubas in Kogi inside it
Not knowing that the other Yorubas would be duty bound to rescue them

Neighbor vex park him loads and children, he come carry my siblings join him children, no be die be dat?..
Last last olopa ma ko everybody ni .
Which kind wikedness?, take your people and go, leave other people's relatives alone.

Nigercity:
Oga stop shifting the goal posts here!
We are talking about cosmopolitan here
Go to Cameroon Barracks in Aba, alot of Cameroonians who fled the ambazobia war are residing in ABA, not just them but other Africa countries citizens from niger, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana Burkina Faso e.t.c
Go and verify the have warehouses there unlike your Yoruba people that's only selling agbo there!

In Ibadan except Lebanese and Chinese, citizens of other countries are not residing in Ibadan, meaning ABA and onistha are more cosmopolitan than south west expect Lagos axis
Because even the Chinese and Lebanese are also found in onistha and Aba!
Remember south Africa firm where the ones who wanted to remodel Ariaria before the Chinese started doing it!
. focus on the subject
Don't shift the goal posts
Except Lagos axis
South West is by far less cosmopolitan

I understand the need to blow your trumpet but what are your people doing in places like, iddo Ajunare, Iyin Ekiti in SW, and places like Danbata, Kaura Namoda in Kano and Zamfara states respectfully?.
These are highly remote areas, the list is long, just trying to cut the long story short I'm well traveled.
Are these remote area more urbanized than the cities in your states?.

Bulldozer90:
You have to know what a city means before talking about a cosmopolitan one.

For your envious ronu mind Igbos should replicate PH because it's an Hausa or ronu city abi?

PH is Igboland, no need replicating it, but it is very unproductive and oil reliant under Nigerian control just like Lagos which benefits from infrastructure monopoly and structural privileges yet has a GDP less than half of Tel Aviv, despite Tel Aviv having less than 5% of Lagos population.

Igboland is the most urbanized ethnic homeland in Nigeria and perhaps Africa.

Nnewi, Onitsha and Aba have taught you what we can do in Biafra. Until you show me any other prominent city which is neither an oil hub or capital city, you will win the bragging right.

Highly urbanized empty cities, dey play.
You people should wake up and start driving traffic of business and people towards those empty cities.
All you people do is flee your golden cities, to go and dwell among brown roofs and filth North.
Something is definitely wrong somewhere, the last time I checked na people dey rush Dubai, not the other way round.
