Rochas is definitely different from our recent corps of leaders. In as much as I have not been to Imo state to view things myself, I believe the man is true and a good person. He should find a way yo work with Ameche/Lamido and Fashola

Esan people have made a good choice. PDP has nothing to offer. I don't care if they join APGA, CPC, PPP etc anything but PDP where likes of IBB, OBJ and Atiku have held in a choke hold.

Let's free ourselves from the chains of underdevelopment

Beaf: Vultures paradise.
. . .All job seekers welcome.

If you are not a job seeker, then bring your winsh.

I can work for GEJ only that I would speak the truth, I hope you do not mind ?

Dede1: If I call you a dingbat without an adjectival clause, it will amount to unpardonable insult to jackasses. I am not surprise a moronic mooncalf such as you assumed Biafra or any country for that matter had to conduct a referendum before staging resistance to external aggression.

Did Nigeria conduct a referendum when it conducted military incursion into Chad and Cameroon over Lake Chad and Bakassi Peninsula respectively. Why would Nigeria even seek consent from a dullard such as you?

Name one person from the minority ethnic group of eastern region that was thrown into prison in Biafra. There were Ijo peeps that fought against Biafra. There were Igbo extractions that fought against Biafra. By the same token, there were Ijo sons and daughters who fought for Biafra. You are really dumb. Oodua will be routed if halfwits such as you shall constitute the army of Oodua Republic.

Eastern region of Nigeria became Biafra including all none or contiguous areas that are native to the minorities. I am not surprise that a gull such you would think Biafra will invade land considered to be part and parcel of eastern region of Nigeria hence Biafra. If you continue to flaunt this mindless below average intellect, you could be disowned by your parents.

I wonder why you keep replying this Oduasolja. Can't you tell the dude is always upto mischieve ?

Dede1 have have been on Nairaland long enough to know does to engage and those that a waste of time. (pure bigotry)

[quote author=Yeske!]Na lie, Ndigbo don't contribute anything so can we leave? Biafran for life.[/quote]Haba Yeske !, You know we are just joking. Ndigbo contribute a lot all we are just doing is to castigate the OP (Bashr4)

I have said it before and I would say it again that I am and indeed all Nigerian are privilege to be in the same country with one of the most industrious people in Africa and indeed the world.

Please don't mind our utterances here.

igbo2011: What are you talking about?

Igbo2011, he is absolutely right

We have indigenous companies in Nigeria such as Innoson, Globacom, Hitv etc but we see some Ideeiotic Nigerian patronise MTN, Dstv etc

About the cars, I would understand if the populise have not patronise them yet, But out ideeiotic government should be leaders and by from them rather than import toyota etc

That is one ways we can fast track our development

onyewec3: That is why we must all work for GEJ to come back 2015 so as to frustrate the HAUSA HEEDIOTS. If hausa bcome presido, boko haram will be legitimate in Nigeria. If not GEJ, then we shuld support IGBO presidency

O'boy abeg chill. Is this a gang up or something ? El-Rufia speaks for himself just like other leaders. If we have a credible Northerner or Southerner, lets vote for him so our children's lifes would be better and they would not curse us.

By Osagie Otabor, Benin

More than 3000 supporters of former Governor of Edo State, Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor yesterday dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Iruekpen, Esan West Local Council.

The former PDP supporters tore the membership cards of the PDP and pledged to ensure the re-election of Governor Adams Oshiomhole.
This defection is coming two days after Prof. Osunbor declared support for Governor Oshiomhole’s re-election.
Former Chairman of the local council Monday Abulu said they were joining the ACN because of the way Prof. Osunbor was humiliated in the last governorship primaries of the PDP

He said Esan West local council has the highest voting population in the senatorial district and vowed to humiliate the PDP for working against the emergence of Osunbor as its gubernatorial candidate.
Governor Oshiomhole said the July 14th governorship election will be about report card.
According to him, "this election is going to be different from the past. It is about report card. When Chief Anenih comes here for campaign, ask him what he has done for Iruekpen community. We have to begin to ask questions.

"We want to build a new political system. we don’t want a political system where men are discarded as small boys, a political system where one man is educated. People must have the power to reward and to punish. If you remove the people, then democracy is empty."

I think Seun should just change the colour theme. After that, that is it. People would adjust

But the colour is terrible, Green is way better than light blue

freecocoa: Take time o,who is a toddler,don't even get me started.

Don't mind him sweetheart. How was Church today ?

4chi:

In the new nairaland,despicable vermins like the OP should be banned automatically for deliberately posting falsehood. He apparently underestimated the resourcefulness of posters and thinks everyone is a lazy oaf like himself. @ OP, lying is a clear feature of Ill breeding and very poor upbringing and you really should be ashamed of yourself and all what you stand for....shame on you!

Very well said. These are the sort of animals we deal with each day on the internet

The OP should actually be banned

maxell:
SHAME ON OP FOR INCLUDING THE SE.


THE PROF SAID THE SS CONTRIBUTES 91% OF FEDERAL REVENUE, NOT THE SS AND SE

the dude is an ideeiot. there are so many ideeiotic bigots on Nairaland even the PA to the president Beaf. My sister please manage the ideeiots

andresia:
littlend/bittyend, you are a silly tribal warrior and in this jet age we don't need such local champions. that is what I am on about, get it? We need people who can fashion a way forward for this country and not local champions and sectional bigots  like you. Capische?

Ignore him

bittyend:
Olodo

The Ilajes and Itsekiris refer to every other tribe in Delta state and east of the Niger as OMO IGBO, olodo

They know they're Yorubas, and they're proud of their culture and heritage.

;d ;d ;d ;d ;d

oduasolja:
is it only the igbos that have a right to self determination. make them go . as long as minorities are not dragged in . they should not tamper with minority land.

thieves.

Shut it already. who are you to talk for minorties. I know some Minorities that are willing to join the Igbos

FACT !!!

I wonder how envious Ander Uweh and Chyz are now (acting childish)

Look Andre Uweh, You have lived with yorubas and hausas and others for 50 years and you do not understand them ?

Try to get into the phycy of a yoruba and hausa man then you would find something that would work for you and you envy would stop !!!

Let me give you a little secret

NEVER EVER EVER CLAIM other people no matter how much they are Igbo.

2. Don't try to balkiaze anyone because once you do, it is like digging a trap for yourself.

3. Why not work in forming peace between Yorubas, Igbos and Hausas On nairaland rather than try to cause division. It is for your own good.

I can speak Egun and I have Eguns in my family. All you are doing is fighting the wind, I don't mind working with you to stop yoruba bigots, I can do that but I call to you and you did not answer.

I know you are NOT a bigot real life but on Nairaland, you are a different creature. I understand that it is the yoruba bigots in Nairaland like bluetooth and Oduasolja etc that made you like this. I am willing to go against them if we join hands

The way you are going about things would not help both of us. What do you ?

Standing5:
ND ppl r the real parasites in this country. They don't raise a damn finger for nothing. As far as i am concerned, oil belongs to all Nigerians, a fact backed by Law-Of-The-Land A.K.A. the Constitution). In the good old days of Tin mining rendered some part of the north useless and everybody spent part of its money. It is not about magnitude here but principle.The ND has 'chopped' with north before and didn't call for a break of the country so i see no reason for all the bad blood shown here by them.

Nope they are not, it is our leaders. It is just annoying when people try to tribalise the issue by calling the north as a collective term rather than called the northern leaders

The average northerner is not lazy, that I can tell you

bittyend:
How can the Eguns be "Eweid" - when they have a Yoruba king?? Are the Ewe people not Yorubas?? If the Eguns want to join Benin Republic - they're free to do that - as long as we Yorubas can get back Port Novo (Yoruba city), in place of Badagry.

As for the Akoko Edos, they're 200% Yorubas - and I doubt even the Bini people would want to be separated from their Yoruba kith and kins.

As long as Benin Republic is ready to secede Port Novo to us - we'll gladly give them Badagry and the Eguns.

port Novo aka Ajasan when the president chase those Igbo traders 3 years ago

I wonder why they did not chase hausa and yoruba traders ?

not needed, it is the Ig-os that migrated not them, they are indigenes of the land

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=890954.msg10373176#msg10373176 date=1331415922]Very good!! It is not a laughing matter. You people did not put any oil in the ground, nor contribute to its extraction? How many oil rigs do you all own? Abi Shell is now synonymous with Ijaw, Isoko, and ND people ni? $1trillion and counting, nada to show for it. Alams and Ibori really developed that place well well.  


@Da infamous, 90% of the oil revenue is from off shore activities, that oil belongs 100% to all Nigerians, yet the lazy fools would like to claim it. The good news is that, the gravy train don get accident. [/quote]+ 1000

Bashr4 you are an ideeiot for editing the comment of sagay

I was asking myself too, HOW THE HELL IS SOUTH-EAST CONTRIBUTING 91 % OF THE NATION

You are a big mumu

Here is his comment

Professor Itse Sagay, Constitutional Law expert:
“I have been following the debate like others; unfortunately, those who speak on behalf of the Niger Delta on the issue have failed to hit the nail on the head. They should be bold enough to ask their northern colleagues, where does the nation’s revenue come from- instead of caressing the issue rather cautiously.

The northern part of this country does not contribute anything to the national purse. If the area that produces the resources has just a token of 13 percent, the remaining 87 percent is free gift to the entire nation, particularly the North that has nothing to show for its existence. At the Political Reform Conference in 2005, we went to the Federal Ministry of Finance to get figures and facts about what each of the zones contributed to the commonwealth. What we saw was amazing; the North-West brings nothing, the same with the North-Central and North-East. The South-East and South-West brings minor but the South-South contributes 91 percent.

You and your Igbo brothers on this forum should never be taken serious, You are an animal for the silly propaganda you just emitted

That was why my first post was surprise that South-east contribute 91 % while the north-central and South-west contribute minor

What the hell, Goat like you. Mumu see me taking it serious

bashr8:
so na agriculture they use build abuja?

na agriculture money fashola dey demand more revenue for lagos abi or na agriculture money northern governors dey demand more revenue from?
na agriculture money they use they allocate monthly and yearly federal and state budgets?

all the billions and millions of dollars looted by out politicians monthly buying estates in dubai, london etc  na from agriculture?

my friend grow up , there are some people that own one single oil blocks that generate more revenue from oil than ghana ,sudan etc. how dare you compare oil revenue to that of agriculture.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-890480.0.html#msg10370837 go through this thread, you think oil is chewing gum

I understand what you mean. It is not argiculture but Oil money. Yes

But as I said again those that do not have oil should not be called lazy because they work hard as well.

Again it is not oil that has been feeding this nation, rather it is food

It is not oil that provides building materials for Abuja or house in enugu rather it is Limestone

It is not oil that provides your roads rather it is butimens

It is not Oil that provides steel beams for building rather it is ajoakuta

I can keep going on and on

Yes other regions don't have oil but they are trying to compensate for that. We should stop rubbing their faces to the ground.

That is why I want SNC so we can test the economic power of each region and know who the parasites are.

scriptwizz:
YOU KNOW WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL THIS RAMBLING YOU WILL REALISE THE SE ARE NOT INVOLVED IN THEIR ARGUMENTS, DO YOU KNOW WHY; AN IBO MAN DOES NOT NEED HELP FROM ANYBODY TO SUCCEED, AND SECONDLY, IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT CONTRIBUTION, TAKE A LOOK AT THE MAJOR CITIES IN NIGERIA YOU WILL REALISE THAN IBOS INDUSTRIAL NATURE ACCOUUNT FOR MOST OF THE REVENUE GENERATED THERE, LAGOS IS A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE. WE CONTRIBUTE HUMAN RESOURCES MORE THAN ANY OTHER TRIBE.

OUR OILS WELL ARE  BEING EXPLORED RECENTLY, ONE HAS BEEN EXPLORED IN IMO STATE, ONE IN ANAMBRA, ANOTHER IN ABIA, ALL THESE ARE UNDERGOING DEVELOPMENT FOR FULL USAGE IN THE DISTANT FUTURE FOR OUR DEAR NATION.

WHEN LOCOMOTIVE WAS BEING USED FREQUENLY FOR TRANSPORTATION OF GOODS IN THE 60s, and 70S AND EVEN 80s, ENUGU THE COAL CITY CONTRIBUTED ITS QUOTA. THANK YOU.

And the yoruba and hausa man needs help from you all to feed ?

What are you saying, it is better you attack IBB and co that are parasites than attack the hard working people in those regions

Adamawa cows is not new in the market

Ofada rice is not new in the market

Ekiti and Kogi yams are not new in the Nigerian market.

chino11:
From Anambra to Abia to Imo its filled with oil. Infact Anambra has the highest volume of gas reserves in entire Nigeria. So the prof couldn't be wrong anyways.

And you think I do not know. BTW the highest deposite of gas is not anambra but Lagos

bashr8:
my friend shut up , what agriculture are you talking about , do you know we import over 70 percent of what we consume ,where is the money generated from if not oil, as if all 6 region dont have agriculture.

we import 70% of the rice we consume not the food product we consume, get your facts right

First of all, lets ask ourselves what a typical Nigerian consume. (lets try to be mature here without any bigotry)

Rice, Yam, Cassava, Palmoil, vegetable oil, maize (corn and its different forms), meat, fish and chicken.

Now we lets say we import rice, 50 % of vegetable oil right (at least good assumsion)

Now food products like Yam and cassava, where do you think they grow in ?

Ota farm produces about 60% of domestically produced chicken

Adamawa, Kwara produce our meat. Lets be honest

Ondo, Kebbi, Ogin, delta etc produce the fishes

Our crudeoil we cannot consume, but some of our food we consume.

I would not be a hypocrite here, SE produce some of our palm oil and rice (abakaliki) but that is a very small percentage compare to Plantations of Palm oil In OAU and ofada rice which is even considered a delicacy by some Igbos I know.

Saying the SW contributes just 9 % even though they still contribute the same crude oil you contribute and the NC and NE nothing is very mischievous and disrespective to the hard working farmers in those regions

scriptwizz:
SILENCE BRO, THE ABOVE FACT BY OP IS ON POINT.

I think you should be silent. Where did you get your facts from ?

All this silly propaganda would not help anyone

It is well known in this country that one of our major export is from Argiculture which the NW, NE, SW and NC contribute

Or is it Crude Oil we nigerians have been eating all this days. Maybe Poundyam, and the meat from ofe nsala has come from crude oil.

If our only export has been crude oil, then when MEND started there bombing, the country should have stand still.

Abeg u people should relax with your propaganda

Moreover, I want to know what the SE contribute to Nigeria and which state is that.
