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.

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.

OAM4J:

KANO (AFP) – Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram on Friday denied any involvement in the kidnapping of a Briton and Italian who were killed during a bid to rescue them in northwestern Sokoto city.

“We are not behind the hostage taking … which led to the military operation yesterday in Sokoto in which the hostages were killed,” said the group’s spokesman Abul Qaqa in a conference call with reporters.

“We have never been involved in hostage-taking and it’s not part of our style, and we never ask for ransom,” he said.

“We know how to settle our scores with anybody. Therefore the allegation that the kidnappers were members of our group is ridiculous.”

Nigeria’s government “had better get its facts straight and find the true identity of the kidnappers,” Qaqa added.

“They should not use us to mask their incompetence.”

The two expatriate workers were killed during a failed British-Nigerian military attempt to rescue them at a house in Nigeria’s far-northwestern city of Sokoto after nearly a year in captivity.

Britain said Italian engineer Francesco Molinara, 48, and his British colleague Chris McManus, 28, were shot by their captors before they could be rescued in the assault authorised by Prime Minister David Cameron.

Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan said the kidnappers were from the Islamist group Boko Haram, which has waged a violent campaign of gun and explosives attacks mainly in the country’s northeast.

Witnesses in Sokoto however cast doubt on Jonathan’s assertion that the kidnappers were from the Islamist group.

They described an intense gun battle that lasted several hours and in which at least two hostage-takers were killed in the operation.

Diplomats have said some Boko Haram members have sought training abroad, but there had not been evidence of operational links with foreign groups.

Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has in recent years claimed kidnappings of foreign workers in countries including Niger, which borders Nigeria to the north, but never in Nigeria. Sokoto state borders Niger.

Your(Igbos)  hate towards AWOLOWO, made some Yorubas hate Ojukwu.

Awo and Ojukkwu were still friend after the civil war.

But Igbo propaganda  made Awo and Yorubas look bad.

gbammm !!!!

HNosegbe:
@Okosodo, yes, my earnest prayer is for Nigeria to attain nationhood so that we can fulfil our potential.

@ Beaf, I disagree. A nation is built when a group of people develop a collective sense of togetherness, a common identity and common purpose. We clearly have not developed these attributes, primarily because we have been beset by leaders who have always told us that the Hausa man is different from his Igbo brother, and that the Ijaw man should regard the Kanuri as an alien.

Our apparent lack of nationhood is a thing of the mind. It will take decades of cultural and mental evolution for the concept of "One Nigeria" to truly sink in, where a man from Oyo State will see himself first as Nigerian before being Yoruba.

For now, our best shot at development is to encourage regional integration, whereby our various regions will be autonomous and productive, not depending on economic rent from centrally-controlled oil earnings.

thank you. Nicely put

Lets first access ourselves

Goodluck you him.

@beaf

Do you know most of the people in the Lagos creeks, are either, Egun, Ilaje,Itsekiri or Ijaw.

Nope there are no Ijaws in Lagos

Yes those in the creeks and Islands are Egun, Awori and some Ilaje. Also their are not Itsekiris in Lagos

Itsekiris are found in Delta, southeast of Ondo and a bit of Ogun state
