I hope you know that the Niger Delta drastically reduces in significance, once the Igbo-speaking areas are cut out from the Niger delta.
The two most oil-laden LGAs in the Niger delta are Igbo-speaking LGAs namely Oyigbo and ONELGA both in Rivers state.
When you add the other Igbo LGAs of the Niger delta to the 5 SE states, the Igbo collective becomes much more influential, so you can go and hang yourself, after reading this fact

To make matters worse, gas reserves in the SE states of Anambra and Imo are more massive than in any other state of the federation, be it in the Niger delta or not.

One thing you can also take to the bank is that the Igbo-speaking LGAs of the Niger delta are 100% more likely to join Biafra than any Niger Delta republic. I apologize for souring your Democracy day celebrations

If una like, carry the whole of Nigeria Delta join Biafran and form a country, una still no go prosper.
Don't ask me why, 'cause its as clear as the day.

evansjeff:
If nothing else at all, the fact you refused to swear in 14 members out of 24 members of the state assembly duly elected by the people for more than a year now, that alone is enough for you to be dealt with.

You openly and public ridicule and throw direct insults at someone who sweated day and night for more than six months to ensure you won both the primaries and the main election even if nobody knew you in Edo state, that's the height of it. Funny enough we have not heard from you that he is demanding millions or billions from you, you did all these to him simply for political differences. Even if you win this election, posterity will judge you.


Whoever advised Obaseki didn't do him well at all. I just hope Philip shuaibu is not silently working against him.

Obaseki should go and listen to a message by Dr Olukoya of MFM, on ungratefulness.
The guy really bleeped up, I don't see him winning this primary.
Let us remove Oshiomole factor, if delegates from the 14 house of assembly members constituencies, decided to vote against Obaseki, then is a goner.
He messed up and instead of him to mend fences, he continues to create more problem for himself.
This has nothing to do with Godfatherism, it has a lot to do with ungratefulness that is now speaking against Obaseki.

Otunba2004:

Land full everywhere but they still can't farm, they go to cities to constitute themselves into nuisance.
The funny thing is, na dem dey born pass, the major problem of this country is ignorance.
Government is supposed to create an enabling environment for you, so that you can be productive and prosper, not to spoon feed people.

Goke7:
so what do we call trump now with what is going on in America? lifeless, deadless or what sef

Trump is a sick joke.

Thank you for the question.

Olominira:
Really? Buhari has been performing better than Trump, the large private sector and her strong institutions are the things covering Trump's failure and incompetent.

He has not achieved anything other than increasing import taxes. Is Trump on top of his game in tackling the current pandemic hitting every nation? Coronavirus has shown that US is the biggest failure of all nations on earth today due to incompetent Trump blaming everyone.

CHAI.

Rikidony:
I will never regret the day I suffer under the sun just to vote President Buhari in 2015 and again in 2019, God bless you Mr. President, how I wish the Poverty development party did more of this under 16 years we would have been focusing on other projects now.

I can't wait for focus to be shifted to the Lagos - Calabar route, that will personally benefit me.

long live President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR
LONG LIVE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

I didn't vote because I couldn't collect my voters card, but I campaign for him and thank God he won.
So many old people also stood in the rain to vote in my hood.
They said everyone cannot run away to abroad, they want a better Nigeria where their grandchildren, will not be dreaming of leaving Nigeria to go and do menial jobs abroad.

Olominira:
Trump generally lacks basic understanding of how simple things work in politics, both local and int'l. I wonder if he has or listens to advice and intelligent reports.

He likes to confront and bully everyone either friends or foes. He also likes to hurt people with words even when it's unnecessary. In all honesty, nothing shows any trace of intelligence in him. The question is how did he become president?

Narcissists, racists and stupid white folks, unleashed the slowpoke on America.

helinues:
Then what's your obsession with Tinubu and Osinbajo?

Are they the one holding Biafra people from seceding from Nigeria?

i am tired already i just created a thread niger delta dream.. all this attache by force has spoil my thread

You self, you no dey fear?.
Martin Luther was shot because he had a dream, his dream eventually became a reality as Obama became the first Black man to rule America.
Which kind dream when your neighbor no dey sleep?.
Jokes apart it is a beautiful dream, a journey of a thousand miles start with a step.
So don't just dream, work on it.

PericomaNwankwo:
Trying to decimate future obstacles. Lol. Nigeria doesn't want to gamble with that position so it changed their nomination to Okonjo because she stands a better chance of beating the two other African nominees to that position. Egypt, sensing the danger ahead, wants her nomination rejected because they know with her in line, their nominees stand no chance.

Game on.

I remembered watching the movie about Chinese invasion and colonization of Tibet.
The Tibetans have lost their homeland to the Chinese Invaders, and are now roaming the most despicable places in South East Asia.
Dalai Lama the ruler of Tibet, that was a little boy at that time is over 60 years now, he lives like a commoner in India, he had the Buddhists Sanskrits, but the Chinese rule Tibet.
The UN has not been able to help the Tibetans till tomorrow.
It is not easy to repair what is broken, neither is it easy to recover what got stolen.

SpecialAdviser:
It really surprises me how difficult it is for most of our leaders to get certificate. Anyway, that is if its true.

There is a reason people say Edo is not Lagos. Let me make it clear a bit. Obaseki has put up a strong fight it doesn't matter if he loses out.

What is more important is to fight like a man. After all politics is generally a game of win or lose. The way Ambode chickened out easily in Lagos portrays a man who lack balls in between his legs. god fathers in politics are set of people without any remedy or solution.

If you are loyal to them, you are in trouble, if not loyal, you are in trouble. The best way around them is to confront your fears and wait for whatever outcome. This is exactly what Obaseki is doing. Ambode was very loyal to Tinubu to the core, what happened to him?

All god fathers fight for their pockets and their fame and not for the masses. Look at how Ambode phased out despite all his good works in Lagos state. Aside his nonsense landscape project which left many places dirty, the guy did his best and you would wonder why he was pushed out despite his loyalty.

The so called god fathers are former governors. And you are the present governor, so why become so afraid of them? is it not ridiculous that a man Adams Oshiomole despised so much in the last election has now become his best bride? Where then is the philosophy, where is the ideology? No interest of the people served. Despite how much I didn't like Chimaroke, his fight with Jim Nwobodo made me like him a bit.

Political god fathers are common criminals that should be stoned. Obaseki have tried to put up a fight like a man even though I don't know much of him in delivering good governance.

Long story short, he shouldn't have used the support of political godfathers to become the governor.

Tolani0167:
It has become a norm and it’s common with northern governors, they think government is about just building roads. Inuwa Yahaya is only paving the road that passes through house and that of his family. When you look closely how many vehicles are passing the suppose pavement. Build factories, enable businesses and make people’s lives better then they can buy vehicles that ply on those roads

Whoever is bringing a factory will have road into the village.
Una say north is backward, the people are trying to improve on themselves, make una cry for una self.

Ezennwa:
hmm!


If South West dare to contest for 2023 Presidential Election, it means they are the most greedy Region of the millennium.

It's turn by turn, and it's not their turn.

Throwback:
The perennial failed predictor.

His only valid prediction was when he asserted that Jonathan regime was finished when Obasanjo wrote the damning letter, only to later go join the same Jonathan government and attempt to prevent the "finishing" he predicted.

Chai, nairaland no dey gree forget.

Guestlander:
What exactly do you want black people to do when every encounter with the police no matter how minor is a potential death penalty?
Peaceful protest? They have been doing that for more than 50 years.
As for Trump, he is a racist, a bully and a colllmplete coward. He is not fit to lead.

50 years?, ok add 400 years of slavery and another 70 years of racial segregation.

Binikingdowm:
exactly what happened in Edo state during PDP rule.

Edo state was in mess, ringroad (the heart of Benin city ) was always flood, no single road project or good transport system.

Then oshiomole came, it made Edo state one of the top 10 state in nigeria.

He changed our educational system.
He increased and paid workers salaries unlike PDP.
He made Benin beautiful.

Etc etc that's why APC always win Edo governor election

I used to tell those who care to listen, that Nigeria just need committed leaders and everything will fall in place.
God bless Oshiomole, God bless the people of Edo.
God bless Nigeria.

Binikingdowm:
exactly. What buhari government is doing now should have been done in the 80s.

PDP government should have introduced nigeria to modernization

This is precisely why I don't like that party.
My father was one of the few early members in Lagos.
He used his personal resources to promote the party in his ward, na our house dem dey hold ward meetings.
He later told me he doesn't understand the direction the party is taking the country.
And that was how he left PDP in 2002 and refused to join any political party.
I asked him to join AD, as his neighbors in AD begins to put pressure on him, he said they have ideas without resources.
My father and all card carrying member in his ward later decamped to AC, just to make sure that Lagos doesn't fall into the hands of PDP.
What he said then was " ba o ba le gbe Ila, a o ma gbe Ilala ", meaning if we can't have it big, let's protect the little that we have.
Just look at Lagos today, God bless everyone who made Lagos of today possible.
Eko si ma dun si, Nigeria shall rise again.

JAMO84:
The problem of Nigeria is Buhari! You are from SW, point one big project of PDP in the south west after their 16 years in power.

We can point to the 1.5 billion dollars Lagos Ibadan rail as Buhari's legacy in the south west.


I challenge you to show one, not two, not three projects executed by Obasanjo, Year Adua and Jonathan, just one!!!

the guy will not answer this question.
They want people to believe that Buhari is a failure without showing us PDPs achievements for 16 years.
Awon werey.

Jakumo:
All those jet-setting miracle pastors must be feeling the pinch during the current Corona virus mandatory lock-down, since the congregations they milk for free cash, have ceased to exist, for the time being.

It has got to be very traumatic for anyone who has become used to tricking people out of their paychecks by promising them back-stage passes to Heaven, only to wake up one day and find out that all the brainwashed cash donors have vanished like a wet dream at the break of dawn.

.
Guy no kill me with laughter.
The funny thing is. people don't even understand the God they claimed to serve.
Or should I say they read the Bible but they don't understand the word?..
How can this be?, that the country that we called ungodly, prosper while a religious country like ours sinks into poverty.
The truth is that Nigeria is an ungodly nation, that is possed by the spirit of religion.
Morally and spiritually bankrupt people, looking in wrong places, for God that actually lives in them.

Afamed:
Go and ask the PDP you have voted for in the last 20 years, to build the train in the east.
PMB is not the reason why there is no train in the east

I like your replies, are you a member of OYOMESI?.
Or are you in anyway related?.

okoloto:
If buhari was our president during this past oil boom, all our infatructures would have been seriously better. There is no project that he started and not completed. Our roads are better.

You are a genius.
I know say some people wey no go ever get joy again in their lives, will prefer that the money for this project is looted.
But we thank God for the completion of this project and the coming ones.
Buhari is set to become the father of modern Nigeria.
Sai Baba, Sai Buhari.
God bless you Mr president.

nickxtra:
Who told you that it's only Oshiomole that is fighting him?

Check out some of the names fighting Obaseki
Osa Okunbor, Billion and politician
Gen. Charles Ahriabvare, former Governorship candidate of PDP
Sen. Samson Osagie, former Senator, Edo South
Sen. Francis Alimikhena, serving Senator, Edo North
Lucky Imasuen, former Deputy Governor
Chris Ogiewenyi, former Minister
Pius Odubu, former Deputy Governor
Engr. Abubabar Momoh, former House of Rep Member,
Infact, almost 70% of the shakers and movers of politics in Edo State are not with the Governor.

La war o.
How can this be?, these are the people who made him the governor.

darecool:
The way Lagos grew from being poor to riches in 20years? How much are you paid to support these evil politicians and their evil hangups

Show me a state in Nigeria, that have grown more than Lagos in the last 20 years.
Enu o she, enu o she.

handie:
Why on earth would a 'popular governor' be afraid of direct primaries? With the crisis in Edo APC, d only mode of election that can prevent a repeat of the Zamfara incident is a direct primary election. Why on earth is Obaseki afraid? He has d same access Ize-Iyamu and every other aspirant has to d party faithfuls. What is he jittery about? As an Edo man, truth be say Obaseki too Bleep up. Nobody knew him in Edo political circles prior to 2016. Oshiomole brought him in and practically ran his campaign for him. While I'm against godfatherism, there's what we call political patronage and Obaseki could have done that while still being his own man. But nah, he'd rather engage in an open fight with his predecessor and every party man. Imagine going as far as lobbying to have the NDDC appointment of the ex deputy governor revoked cause he is not from his camp. Would any of the so called progressive governors be happy if the Oshiomole treatment is meted to them by their successors who they almost singlehandedly installed? As for development, forget what u read online. I'm an Edo man and I can tell you for a fact that Obaseki hasn't done zilch apart from some civil service reforms and d repositioning of the primary and post primary education sectors. Infrastructurally, Obaseki is a non performer. How can anyone even be agitating for an indirect primary which is a cesspool of corruption as d few delegates selected can be easily influenced with state funds.

Lo ba tan.

StubbornGENIUS:
Whatever the Lagos state govt plans to do,they must first seek for ways to employ the okada and keke owners who will lose their source of income.Ignoring these people will definitely increase the crime rate in the state.

Why can't the governors of their different states employ them?.
Oro buruku ni igboro enu, how many of those nuisance did LASG invited to come and ride okada in Lagos?.
Let them go and ride their okada in their various states, no matter where they hide it, LASG task force will locate and seize it.
A word is enough for the wise.

Vulcanheph:
Why not make free education in all government primary and secondary schools in the state to encourage parents instead of making threats.

Education has always been free in the north, illiteracy is major problem.
