Funny man... Haven't you even heard of the large deposit of bitumen in Apoi-Izon??
Your crude reserve is very low and will dry up in 40 years, plus it won't be excess for exporting. Even if you would export, na plane you go use export? Dot people.
That's why you want to claim Ogoni people, Andoni people to get to Opobo and Bonny. LMAO.
Igbo piri bo claims he owns Bonny and Opobo. How he crossed another indigenous people, landed behind them and founded a land which isn't suitable for planting yams and cassava and other cash crops beats my imagination. It is like Chad claiming Eritrea over Egypt.
But we go soon cure una madness.

What is the use of Bitumen lol, you real think you have more crude than us, anyway we have the highest gas deposit, the highest coal deposit and the highest coal, I'm talking about crucial industrial need, for electricity you guys may live in darkness Bitumen lol, then crude oil, you really think you have more crude than us, put all of AlaIgbo together let's see who has more crude,

You don't know the use of Bitumen and it's importance?
Well I'm in no mood for lectures today because you'd want us to grow your mkpurummiri inspired post.
First,, we can never fall into darkness because the world darkness because the
World is moving towards renewable energy such as wind and solar. Igbo backwardness since 3000Bc according to that stupid group, still happy in using coal for electricity... igbo-Piri'bo

We have the highest crude reserve,, enough gas reserves to last us till Jesus comes.
We are also open to the seas and you people crave that. We know you people can't do without commerce, importing and exporting and you'll use our coasts,,,, definitely why you people are doing all you can to spread propaganda since the 1950s.
Una dn dey plan like Fulani people and infact una worse pass fulanies... The reason you cry victim is because you don't hold power in Nigeria.
Well,, we Sabi una agenda.... No igbo-Piri'bo can claim the coast... every izon man from 1week old, even in the womb is ready for you.
We go feed you Angala leaves before drowning you to be slaves to the Owuamapu but meanwhile, to continue your export and import,, una go dey remit 60trillion dollars to rent our ports.
Second condition, you all will have to go through enculturation rites,
Third condition, you will learn the Izon language(s)
Fourth......I don't know the fourth condition... We will think about it and relay it to your Piri.
Don't bother quoting me again,, I have unfollowed the nòmúfied thread.

Ha Solar Kwa lol, we are talking about how cheap could the installation be, if solar was so feasible then Northern Nigeria would have no issue, my dear solar and wind are not so cost effective and how much wind turbine are you going to install to power all your towns lol, well like I said you guys have never really had industrial potential, no shade intended here but if you want to go industrial you need hydro, gas, coal or then reactors other source for now are not quite feasible when cost and efficiency is put into account

Besides you said you will sell to us lol, how do you sell energy to the people that have all forms of energy generated Coal, Gas, Crude, Wind, Solar, if we wish to go nuclear we have more advanced industry and tech lol, we no ne mate for energy abeg

We truly dont care about your region. The problem you have is you love yo mention us and have us involved. You are hated everywhere and Yoruba is the only savior you have left in Nigeria. So when you start trouble you love to have us involved and cushion the blows you receive from antagonising people around you.

Again, I will preach to you that Nigerian Constitution is what entitled you to these nonsense. The same Constitution you label zoo. You ungrateful uncouth loud noise vuvuzelas.

When Oba of Lagos name his son Tunde and Alaafin of Oyo name his son Tunde, then Ooni of Ife name his son Tunde, you say the son of Igwe of Onitsha called Emeka has same right as Tunde in Lagos. I want to see how that go take happen.

People warned Tinubu about his closeness to Ibo, and opening opportunities for Ibo to expand business in Lagos markets. But he ignored it. Those who know the nature of Ibo did not lie, Tinubu is staring at it when it matters most. Hopefully he will do something about it and fix your Nigerian problem permanently. We hope.

Come, egbon, make una pursue igbo-Piri'bo from una Lagos o,, because in 200 years to come,, they will want to beat up your grandchildren who will remind them that Lagos is Yoruba land.

First you said there will be no such thing as coming, the Nnamen guy came, more and more will come and unless it is going to be a peaceful settlement there is bound to be issues, the common ground is not an issue but the contested ground believe it or not there is high rate of Igbo enlightenment concerning Bonny and Opobo and wars start when logic and reason fails, whatever reason you give now is not going to be accepted by majority Igbos who have seen many times you tried to reengineer the people, my candid advice, honestly forget every story you have told over the years, prepare for any eventuality becuase I don't see the Igbos backing down, if you turn down olive branches from individuals like myself, just know that the enlightenment going in in AlaIgbo is that deep especially among millennial and GenZ it is real.

Bro, you're a clown and I'm laughing.
You speak about Opobo and Okoloama as if they were a piece of meat pie to claim or pick up.
Nigga I am telling you for a fact, a big fat fact that Igbo language is currently outlawed in community gathering, they speak the ibani mixed with English.
It is being taught in secondary schools there. This isn't mare say, and no one forced them. OKORO GO AND SEE FOR YOURSELF... TRAVEL AND SEE. Opobo and Ibani THEMSELVES DISLIKE BEING CALLED IGBOS and so they took it upon themselves to enforce the ibani language. Go to Opobo and Bonny to do nonesense, they will toast una.. you're talking about war as though the people are a property...na Dem go bite you give you raebaece 1seconds. Talk more of other sister clans/kingdoms, community, settlements and villages... Omo no try o. Everyone is re-tracing his root. Even Ibeno and Oro are stretching out their hands. Ndoki will be the next, watch and see.

you're talking about war...can you enter creek and fight huh

Even for land you no fit pursue ungun known men na to enter creek come fight Asawana boys, I laugh you in Kolokuma. Violence dey sweet us for our body, make I just inform you.

AlexBells:
How have you seen damn built in oceans, while I agree that you have a sizeable number of rivers, I doubt how many of them is capable of being used as a damn and the cost and possibility of flow capacity given proximity to sea, also gas is cheaper and a combined coal, rivers and gas would give AlaIgbo the kick.

Unless you want to build a tide damn the chances of dams in Ijawland becoming a catastrophe is high, sea tide means the flow of your rivers could be suspect, where is the source of your Rivers and what are their flows before emptying into the sea to power dynamos.

Ijaws have very little electricity future, most of the rivers that can be dam have their source in AlaIgbo the creeks of Niger Delta may not be effective. Then while you have crude oil, I doubt if you have more crude than us, however crude is insignificant in electricity but rather gas and coal plays major role.

And do you know the cost of hydro electricity, do you know how much it will cost you to rely I on hydro? So for a starter you are not a gas power like the Igbos, you are also not an inland water power, while you have large coastline near the sea, the sea is not significant to electricity

So dams are the only source of electricity??
You must be thinking from 1930.
Isn't there solar?? Even the wind mill. Electricity isn't a problem and did you just say you've got more gas than izon?
Is this nòmú? (Nòmú means madness, don't mention)
Do you know the untouched gas reserves in the ocean huh

AlexBells:
You have spoken well, like I said, we are here for peace. Joseph was an Isreali slave, who rose to the rank of prime minister, many years later, they decided to leave Egypt for Isreal, remember that King Jaja left Bonny for Opobo, Arguably the Opobo is now like the promised land, I'm not trying to make the Jaja family bigger than the rest of the Opobo town but they still reign in Opobo.

If it were possible I could have said deport all Jaja linage to AlaIgbo, we shall welcome them but the issue is that these people already left Bonny which is more like if we talk in your case Egypt to the the promised land of Opobo so what do you do in a situation like this, do you want to deport the Jaja linage to AlaIgbo when they are even of mixed blood and again Opobo speaks Igbo so can we prove that before Jaja and his war houses reached Opobo that there were no Igbo natives, these all calls for peaceful and considerate approach.

It don't also speak good for you to continue classifying the Jaja linage as slaves

Stop decieving yourself..
Jaja is an Izon man even though the place of his Ancestry is somewhere in the igbo-piri jungle.
He came with 14 war canoe house and settled there.
That region he settled belonged to Andoni-Oru people.
The kingship line isn't even descended of Jaja, they just use the title due to he being the leader of the founding movement. A few years later the Perekule council chairman became the Amayanabo of Opubo-ama so stop acting drunk.
Shey the unifyigbo guy that wears nnamehn t-shirt and facecap went to Opobo to misbehave,, they didn't give him the story he was expecting...

The Opobo people are now installing chiefs and position heads based on your ability to speak Ibani..
It is now thought and spoken in town hall meetings. Kids,.women are speaking it very fast now, and in 5-10 years the ibani will spread to Waminadokiari who wouldn't love to be left alone.
If you want to find a common ground for Igbo and izon meeting, let Ndoki be the bridge because it was the meeting point between the Okoloba/isedani-ijaw people and the Ngwa/Igbo people.

AlexBells:
The truth is that any leader who wants peace would not just take every body serious but also show it, it is also said that if you want peace you must prepare for war.

As you all know, the Igbo nation and several other Nigerian nationalities are at the verge of unification and for this to happen, nearly every nation of Nigeria needs a Bismarck.

In AlaIgbo today there are about four people who could be classified as leaders in Igboland with similar influence like Ojukwu who could clearly make statements and AlaIgbo would stand still. These men without Bias are 1. Peter Obi 2. Nnamdi Kanu, 3. Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, 4. And to an extent Simon Ekpa.

As you all know, none of these people can lead the Igbo Nation technically, Peter Obi can not lead the Igbo Nation because he has gone beyond that stage, Nnamdi Kanu has as well gone beyond that stage as his empire has grown beyond Igbo Nation and he is very controversial character that inspires fear in nearly every other Nigerian aside Igbos and our allies, for Mbaka he is currently a property of the catholic church, for Simon Ekpa not only is he leading only a faction of his group but he is more of a Military tactician than a broadened leader, his failure to seize the IPOB completely is another issue.

It is clear at this point that AlaIgbo MUST look away from these four people and seek new direction. As we seek new direction, one of the ways to establish a Nation is to establish a common enemy, today, the Ijaw nation has found that enemy psychology working both sides, I think after Biafra, the next thing that currently Unites Igbos more now is the issue of Opobo and Bonny and I seek to ask, how would this issue be settled because I know the thing that unites the Ijaws is the Igbo enemy psychology.

I know of a sure that the Igbos would share closer genetic composition with the Ijaws than any other nationalities in Nigeria, this is because with the Ijaw culture of assimilation, majority of Igbos who came across Ijaws were enculturated and they became Ijaws, which means I can go through same ritual today and become Ijaw but DNA closeness does not mean peace afterall the English are Germanic but in the world wars, they were sworn enemies.

From the trends on social media and on the ground, Ijaws also knows that the Igbos are coming, there are so many Igbo media crews who have visited Opobo and Bonny recently and the Ijaws knows even from social media banter that this is no joke. One thing that you should never do is challenge or dare an Igbo man, this is common sense the Igbos shall come for Bonny and Opobo if we don't give peace a chance.

The question now is how can we fix these realities with peaceful cost, nairaland is one of the most vibrant mediums to reach the Ijaws currently, I see a lot of young Ijaws making effort and we should all be better off thinking about prosperity than thinking war as young leaders. It could have been common sense to say let's leave these issues until maybe someday Nigeria regrettably divides but these situations needs urgent attention today becuase Nigeria can work as a Unitary confederation and the best way for it to work is when Nations pick up themselves.

I have proposed earlier without consulting my people that Opobo can come with the Igbos while Bonny can go with Ijaws, it did not go down well with both my people and the Ijaws however I believe in justice and any truthful individual knows that both these towns have connections with both Ijaws and Igbos and the more we fight for them, the more it impacts them as a people and there is no just call to completely disconnect them from any side which we could arrive at with chaos.

That proposal can still work and clearly the best and safest option then another option is this, let the two towns be independent or at most protectorate of the two nations, Ijaws can protect Bonny while Igbos protect Opobo becuase the two Islands communities would have hard time protecting themselves by themselves as independent countries in the event that Nigeria divides especially from natural reality given rising sea levels.

The fact is that more than any other nationalities in Nigeria, in the future the Ijaws would greately need Igbos. I think the Igbo nation can really understand the challenges the Ijaws would face especially given climate change, the fact that if Nigeria continues you only have one state capital, one full state which means you would have a tough time with Unification and facing regional challenges, again the closest big market to the Ijaws are those in Igboland, the Igbos also has more gas, coal and and inland water resources than any other nationalities in Africa and on top of that goes as the single richest Nationality in Nigeria by per capita income which means your crucial energy and electricity needs could depend on us in the long run, without these you have no industrial future and should Nigeria divide the country of the Igbos would have by far the biggest economy and strongest Military than any other nation emerging from Nigeria, we wouldn't want war no matter how small but prosperity.

The Igbo Nation want the Ijaws to succeed and I want to clear one notion that the Ijaws held for years, that the Igbos stopped their dreams of Niger Delta Republic the question is, who was Adakar Borro to ask for Niger Delta Republic? Was he elected to any office, was he any form of traditional ruler, on what ground did he ask for Niger Delta Republic ?

I don't want the current Ijaw moves to be about rebellion, if you want Ijaw Republic and that such Republic wants to secede from Nigeria, first convince your governor in Bayelsa and your senators, house of assembly and rep members to buy into the idea anything beyond that would pass you as a rebel no matter how justified your intentions are.

I know it is easy for us to insult each other however the situation is real and I seek to ask Ijaw young leaders on nairaland, how do you think we can go about fixing these situations especially without disconnecting the Opobo and Bonny people from both their Igbo and Ijaw connections and heritage, I strongly believe any peaceful means would be appreciated by them as peace would ensure future bonds on both sides.

The electricity that will be generated by solar or even the ocean will be sold to you all.
Climate change will be curbed by building dams along the coast.

"One thing we know is to never dare and Igbo man......igbos will come for Bonny and Opobo"....

Nòmú-Egberi.

This is a crazy talk.
Mr Man you were making a little sense in this write up i was just skimming through till I caught sight of that stuff you wrote up.

Okoro, it has never been written anywhere or anytime when a tenant chase away the landlord and take over his house.
That's how I accomodated one Igbo dude due to a quarel with his roommate (a fellow Igbo) back then in uni
Dude was eating my food, using my stove, being comfortable.
He begged that he change my coloured bulb to florescent... he usually does this when I travel or not around,, till he stopped taking permission and was challenging me why I changed the bulb back to coloured... My own room I paid for and accommodated him, man was feeling like the owner of the room already.
Same thing in Lagos.
Una never serious,, even that useless stupid Igbo 3million BC group... Make Dem continue to dey mumu themselves there.
If you people don't respect yourselves and respect other people's boundaries, if someone invites you, and you decide to put your leg on his center table anything you see, make you take am.
There are no igbos in Bonny and Opobo. There was enculturation and intermarriage, same with Anambara with the Igala etc etc.
Make every body Respect themselves.
I currently like what is going on in Opobo, you can't hold a position of influence if you can't speak ibani,, to my greatest suprise, ibani is encouraged even on the streets,, women, children, men are more fluent...when I went there middle of last month I thought I was in kalabari. So Mr Man, you people should go to Haiti first and unite with them, christene them umu-igbo, infact rename Haiti Ala-igbo before you come here come do wetin you dey talk.
Soon Ndoki will soon begin speaking Ibani because they are reaching out to INC... it could take 10 years, 20 years, 30 years but it must happen.

"Not true.. many people marry a woman out of good heart because they didn't know how to break up after probably dating for a very long time . They saw the attitude and prayed they changed, and when they see the change isn't coming then they feel tired and dissapointed"

so if a woman does same, it's still my point
"MARRYING DESPITE SEEING FAULTS BECAUSE OF SACRIFICES OR LONG PERIOD OF TIME IN DATING"

the OP SAW THE FAULTS,, BUT HE STILL MARRIED HER BECAUSE OF ONE OF THE ABOVE REASONS I EARLIER STATED.

ODUDUWA/BIAFRA and their IZONIC Obsession; a pipe dream.

Following the Amalgamation of the Northern and southern protectorate of what is today Nigeria, a nation in it's infantile stage was handed into the hands of the Northern favorites to call the shots because the British saw - enroute their touring up the Niger that the people saw the rulers as their overlords- a replica of the british rulership.
With them they establish the direct rule which would be implemented on the new country.
But why the North and not the south? Why not the people who first saw and experienced civilization and international relations?
Why not the people that traded and familiarized themselves with international trade- transforming ancient kingdoms into sophisticated, modernized and independent city-states?
Why were these influetial chains of city-states reduced to nothing and its power neutralized and balkanized?
Perhaps we will know why on this article.

Begining on the Genesis of the chocolate cake sharing, I mean the Berlin conference(a birthday party) which shared africa like a piece of cake, and the British crown were allocated probably the most gifted or richest part of the cake; which was to become Nigeria ---------We are definetly over that, but the Berlin conference has been summoned on this article to be a reference to a subsequent conference that would hurt the "KOH-i-NOOR of the crown of motherland"

Following the independence of Nigeria granted by the British, everyone thought that the Brits eyed unsatisfactory for it never wanted to leave what was it's most prized piece of its empire but did they leave completely or they watched from afar and played the puppet master while still having a share in the resources?

THE COASTAL CITY-STATES AND ITS FALL FROM GRACE 1700s - 1800s

The coast was the gateway through which the principal tribe in the south-south; The Oru/Izon/Ijaw welcomed the Portuguese, the Dutch, and the British and traded with them; experiencing and ushering civilization to what is today Nigeria. Treaties were signed, friendship were established but what led to what one could conclude was the fall from Grace??
Could it be a wisdom and cleverness they never could guess- existed in the minds of the Ijaws 200 and beyond years ago?
Could it be because perhaps they learned so much during their dealings and trading with the Europeans?

The subsequent years that followed witnessed fall outs between the rulers of some Ijo city-states and the Brits following what the people perceived as a cunning like attempt to control and call the shots in their kingdoms and resources.
The Izon kingdoms watched as events unfolded, following several crafty treaties which led to a series of fallouts between the Kings and the British kingdom - most notably the Opobo- british saga of the 1880s to the Nembe-british war of 1895 and the Abua/Odual war of 1897.
Could this be the reason the British kingdom didn't see it beneficial to entrust the leadership of Nigeria given the vast experience, exposure, civilization and ability to organize and run a country capable of thriving internationally without any atom of inferiority complex or jittery?

Where the Ijaws a difficult metal to bend at will?
Will they pay for severally defying the crown in the new nation?

NIGERIA; The New Nation and its foundation1900s

The amalgamation of southern and northern nigeria was not really the spoke in the wheel for the Ijaw's as they continued to thrive, and it's ports being major commercial centers with it's Kings and chiefs wielding great influence in commerce - continued to enjoy it's Apex rank; as the abode of opportunities and green pastures, as an abode of civilization and industrialization, as an opportunity to be the wealth-haven and lead region of the new nation, but wouldn't that unbalance the larger north? Wouldn't it continue to draw the hustle-savy igbos who constantly seek greener pastures? Wouldn't it make it lure the inquisitive yorubas and other tribe down south to jointly contribute whatever quota they can to further make the Izon kingdoms cum city-states into mega wealthy cities?
Was this the reason to break the spine of the Ijaw people by establishing the regional Government of the late 1930s and the couple of decades to come?
Bernard Bourdillon (the governor general) in the year 1939 initiated the idea and laid the foundation for Nigeria to be carved into three regions; Northern Nigeria-annexing the middle belt, Western Nigeria and Eastern Nigeria.
This would born WAZOBIA which was beneficial to the Hausa-fulanies, the Yorubas and the igbos who got to share the glory, wealth and influence of the then Apex region belongings to the Ijaws, while North hold the reins. With this, the Igbos wouldn't really feel that they were living home because the place they left too was within the East(old eastern region) The yorubas wouldn't also be drawn out due to curiosity and their need to satisfy it by knowledge. This would be made easy by the Itshekiri influence planted and watered by the then Western premier Obafemi Awolowo, because the itshekiri people were also partly ambassadors of the Yoruba culture and influence to the coast.
This greatly weakened the Ijaw people and their great influence.
This also divided them-the Western-Izon being lost in the growing fog and aura of the yorubas and the Eastern-Izon being absorbed into the Ibibio/Igbo/efik fog, and we all know how difficult it takes to see and act through a fog. It hides you, dwindles your light and hide you behind the scene. Only the center which is now known as the core and unadulterated Izons were left to stand alone as a minority.
Isaac Adaka Boro itched to rescue this by demanding a separate River State and even later- the niger-delta republic which could have rekindled the Izon fire but many were already unaware, like loosed canoes they had floated far away and his republic dream was only a mirage, beautiful from afar, unreal up close because unity was lacking. There was no strength in disunity.

IZON MEANS TRUTH; the truth can never be buried.

Boro's miscalculations were costly but was a needed sacrifice to reawaken the Coastal Izon oneness. His Messiah-like death brought about a reconnection between the IZONIC city-states who for a long-time suffered some sort of identity crisis- not seeming to fit into Yoruba or Ibibio or Efik or Igbo, Hence they were termed "Minority tribes of the lower Niger"
Several English publications propagated by the British, and indigenous publications were supported and encouraged by the regional Government dominated by the Yoruba or Igbo to further water the seed of divide and rule all for national, tribal and economic interest at the detriment of the Izons. You will blame them not, no one relinquishes good things, and will do whatever it takes to hold on to influence and power.

POST CIVIL-WAR, BALKANIZATION AND THE DEMAND FOR MORE STATES

Boro's sacrifice after his release from condemnation and his involvement in the civil war proved fatal to the then Eastern government, thwarting eastern izon annexation into a Republic named BIAFRA.
Many Igbos who witnessed the Igbo rule of the old Eastern region and the youths who heard about it yearn for the Glory days; "their Glory days" but swim in great ignorance or selfishness because the supposed old eastern region or BIAFRA will only favor them but what about the Izons from the central delta and across the Niger to the west? Will they just disown their kit and kin and go build a house with you?

Perhaps it was a difficult chess move to take by the Britain-aided North who were faced with a migraine-bugging dilemma to either curtail the thriving Igbos or unshackle the Beast of the Niger delta- the Ijaws. You guessed right, the Beast was unshackled and it was detrimental to the Igbo strength and influence- ultimately ending the war.

THE UNCAGED BEAST OF THE DELTA AND ITS BALKANIZATION

The Government of Nigeria further created more states but it had its eyes on the beast awoken.
Give it the strength and influence it once had prior amalgamation and regional Government and the Apex; "unified tribe" and it's once glorious city-states would grace the skies as eagles again- becoming more powerful, wealthy, full of the experience that came with fighting and recovering from economic wars fuelled by national interests. They couldn't let that happen, but they couldn't afford to cage the beast either as it could release a scarred demon who still suffer trauma from the civil war, and so balkanization was the next game plan.

Why the North and the British monarchy are enjoying decades of bromance- with the later being the brain and puppet-master while wearing the northern mask will be a discussion for another day, but the Igbo and Oduduwa dream of having a nation and influence reminscient of the old Eastern and Western regional Government at the detriment of the Izons are a pipe dream fuelled by selfish interests which are blind to reality before amalgamation and regional Government. It is similar to a stranger dreaming of walking into your home and demanding your fingers like a right of his.

Wow
That was a long read. I'm not really good at giving advise. So just take it as e dey come.

You and I have a lot common. I'm also the only son of my mum and dad. I lost my dad at a very young age which made my mum overly protective. I'm a year older than you and also Serving corps member. Corper wee

Anyways, Firstly, I want you to forgive your parents. Honestly hating/keeping malice with them won't solve any of the problem you're facing. It's a good thing that you're self aware of the issues you have. Where you got is wrong is what you're doing right whining and complaining like a b!tch. Work on yourself. You're still young and it's not late for you. You can become sociable bro but it's not going to happen overnight. It's good you were able to save a little, I'll advise you find a business that will make you engage with people on a regular basis. These will improve your social skills in no time. Try to also work on your mindset as well as your esteem. If you're religious, find a church and join their workforce. If you can afford it go to the gym. DESIST FROM PORNOGRAPHY AND MASTURBATION. It will ruin your esteem and fuçk with your mental health. For now stay away from relationship. Just try to be friends with everyone till you begin to see positive change in your social life. In everything you do stop b!tchin. Get to work

best advice... and OP you should take it.
I was on this table too 2-3/4 years ago but I was quick to jump out quite early.
to send a strong message, I kept away from home for a year. Though my self esteem wasn't affected like yours. hit the gym, it boosts confidence. like this guy said, find a church and join the work force. I would have also added that you hit the club twice a month but you might get addicted to absorbed into the silly lifestyle that comes with it, so just take the advise of this dude I'm quoting.

I don't get the daftness of this PEOPLE. this is not what I want to hear.
MUST OIL AND GAS BE THE ONLY LIFELINE??
WHAT HAPPENS TO OTHER SECTOR? WHAT ABOUT OTHER UNTAPPED RESOURCES??
WHAT ABOUT THE GOLD IN THE NORTH?? IS IT THAT SACRED?? WHAT ABOUT THE LARGE BITUMEN RESERVE DISCOVERED in the west??
what about the steel industry? or the coal production??
what about restructuring??
Open those other sectors and make it working; this will create massive job opportunities.

infact no politician is ready to deliver Nigeria.. all are coming to steal their own share and leave for the next Government to come and do same and leave too.
I hate these people.
if no one is ready to help Nigeria, let us all break up and go our separate ways than this cheap talk... All of them, Tinubu, Obi, Atiku are just talking.
Only Obi seem promising but I don't trust him either.

If your dad had said the same thing would you be here spewing trash

anyone can birth a child without marriage.

women are steadily following western influence just to be free without knowing men will continue to run away from marriage.

for sometime I personally (and I'm sure many other men) have began to see that there is no gain in marriage on the side of the male folk, women asked for it, the western influence is coming with full force and the male folks will adopt it too.
Men will continue and be able to pass on their Father's name and Continue the line of their ancestors without marriage. No gain in it at all for the men.

Running to Africa for which men? The men that can’t develop their society. Ayam not understanding.

focus on the borne of contention, stop digressing.

by the way, of recent the Gambia Government has issued a warning to European retired women who troop into their country to marry men or sleep with them and take them away.

so wether they can develop their society or not, the point we should stick to is MEN CAN NEVER BE LONELY, I know what I'm saying and you know too, NEVER.

you believe this nonesense??
this something created by a female favored country to try balance the situation socially, and when I mean "situation" tis the scarcity of men who are either locked up or find no need to settle but have babies.
Ask yourself why the foreigners running to Africa for men??
keep deceiving yourself.
soon women will be handed out to men without brideprices.

Why will they want to twist hostory? to what purpose?

So proffesional people Like BAIKE will not twist history in other places bu only in Bonny or Jo land?

I just looked your account,, it's just 3weeks old. You and I know we've talked about this before from BEHIND YOUR REAL ACCOUNT.
and FYI,, Baikie in his subsequent publication AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND TRAVEL came to realise.

The early British explorers applied the curious name “ORU” to the Ijo west of Brass from the Nun entrance to Taylor creek, Dr Baikie said of them in 1854. "From the mouth of the river (NUN) up to this point (TAYLOR CREEK), the country on either side is named ORU. The people are of the same tribe as who inhabit the tract of country up to the Rio Formoso where however they are called EJO or OJO by which name they are known at Abo, at Brass and even Bonny, by English palm oil traders. They are often termed Jo-men. Throughout this district but one language is spoken with but little dialectical difference"

that's baikie up there, try and get all of his works and don't favor pick the earlier ones... ofcourse if you are writing a thesis, you won't go consulting old works, you consult the new and latest because the old ones are usually false and unreliable.

ANYWAYS

Major Arthur Glyn Leonard also listed a number of tribes of the Delta, distinguishing an Oru as well as an Ijo tribe, below are his words..

”The Oru occupy the tract of country on each side of the Nun branch of the Niger and along the coastline between it and the Ramos river. Then in the triangle formed by the Nun and the Gana-Gana, also outside it, to a small extent, both eastward and westward, dwell the Ijo the most important tribe in the lower Delta"

below is sigismund koelle own research report

"The Oru or Ijo or Udso are identical with Brass, at the mouth of the Nun on the coast, otherwise called Hebu or Nempe by their Ibo neighbours. This language is spoken to the extent of 100 miles from the mouth of the Nun, to the boundary of Abo territory: how far inland towards Benin, on the right and towards the Ibo country on the left is yet unknown…”

like I said, look up all of these people work and stop cherry picking.

like I said,,. no real NDOKI person has come to call what I wrote up there fable... they all know the truth, they know their Original language has gone extinct, they know they have the Oru blood which runs in the hollow tracts of their veins.

We want them back and at same time dont want them back, but if they choose to connect again, we will welcome them with open arms.
