Fixed. What a classless ediot!

dude i have missed you, my friend

I wonder why the government has not declared SNC. The sentence " the unity of Nigeria is non-negotiable" should really be scrapped. Yes the unity is very negotiable and we should negotiate it now that every region is calling for it from the North to the South.

I think it is unfair a group of people to keep feeling cheated and no one is complaining even to the extent they has to result to militancy and still their problem has not been addressed.

Also I don't like the idea of some groups of people ridiculing others because of Crude Oil. I don't want to be believe we are that primitive.

Now that GEJ is the President (with all due respect), now is the time for him to address all past injustice and make each group self determined so they don't have to rely on others (Parasitism).

An Average Nigerian has not felt the benefit of the Large expanse of Crude oil we have so what is the point if likes of Ibori, Igbendion, Orji, Uba, Tinubu, OBJ, IBB, Ciroma and all the governors keep buying houses worth millions of pounds in UK and USA while the grass-root people suffer ?

The Issue is that we cannot stop these people reason being that if any one attempt to do so, ethnicity comes into play. Thus we are back to square one.

What SNC, it does not give room for that to occur. Likes of Bankole, Ali Modu Sheriff, Orji, Peter Obi, etc would have been long gone in each respective region and they would not be able to hide under what Former Hon. Patrick describe as Paparoism (context of a corrupt government).

So I urge people to please support SNC or even a total split. That way our Governors would wake up and cannot hide under any disguise.

I think the claim may have something to do with Oben: http://www.edo-nation.net/2006okpa5.htm


But I doubt that any oil wells were actually appropriated from Edo state. I think Oshiomhole is grandstanding and feigning indignation over a non-existent problem and has been misinformed. I may be wrong, but I doubt that there is a real case here.


What do you mean "unproven"? How is he supposed to "prove" that what he said happened?   With secret audiotapes, photographs, and documents?

He named some names and made very specific accusations about the actions of specific people. The only thing that doesn't count for much is the idea that a totally unknown octogenarian concocted this story for no other reason than to expose himself to possible public squabbles/disputes or public embarrassment while in his golden years.

A suit alleging libel is definitely something that has to pass a formal test of scrutiny.



The only groups in Akoko-Edo that could be confused for Yoruba are the Ebiroid groups. Can anyone here name any one actual Yoruba group in Akoko-Edo for the edification of the rest of us? Merely speaking Yoruba does not make one Yoruba just as speaking Hausa does not suddenly make one Hausa. Groups in the Middle Belt that speak Hausa instead of their own languages are still not Hausa.


And names are not an indicator either. There are some Igbo and Yoruba with Edo last names, but they are Igbo and Yoruba and don't claim to be Edo.

That said, I think Afemai really applies to Owan and Etsako, not to all the groups in Edo north, so I agree with you that that wikipedia entry is probably not accurate. That doesn't mean that Akoko Edo is actually part Yoruba though.

what are you talking about.

Are Akoko edo not part of Akoko people ? and who are Akoko people ?

Yes ezi okwu, so you agree.

gwa onye obuna ezi okwu, let everyone know the truth. The current predicament we have today stated with that stu.pid man call Azikwe who you all support.

onye bu onye isi ? was it not Zik of ontsha ? Now you come here blaming yorubas and hausas for Ziks mistakes.

Ala Ondo has no oil on land but at the coast.

chukwu gozie gi Yoruba, Itsekiri bu Edo.  God bless you all, A single broom can be broken but a bunch is harderer to break. Notice how they invaded bendel and ondo going to lagos saying it is ala igbo.

Look be nice to yoruba , o bu n’ihi gi. One of this dayz your hatred for yorubas would make you people lose a lot because we think no evil for Igbos until you all started.

right from the 40s, we yorubas have been experiencing tribalism for Ndi igbo. and I it did not start from today.

o buru na i bịa ala eko (lagos). We don't disturb you, you all claim and claim etc, we don't talk, Don't let that change.

sopuru nu onwe unu, sopuru ndi yoruba so there would be kpa udo.

Look E kwe m i hu onye agbata obi m na anya and many others like me. so all this ridiculing making us look like we care about ur oil or we are stealing your oil would only end to your demise.

BY MICHAEL EBOH
Poverty has become a household name in Nigeria. Majority of the country’s population, according to the statistics released by the National Bureau of Statistics are poor.

The report said Nigeria’s poverty rate stood at 69 per cent in 2010, while 93.9 per cent of Nigerians considered themselves to be poor in 2010 against 75.5 per cent recorded in 2004.



These startling figures are a stark reality of the true situation of the enterprise called Nigeria and an example of how not to run a country.

Nigeria’s woes started effectively in the 1980s, when government officials and public servants developed a penchant for ineffectiveness, corruption, mismanagement, disrespect for the rule of law and brazen looting of the country’s treasury.

Analysts are of the view that the figures portend a great mismatch, especially when viewed against the vast human and natural resources in the country.

In terms of natural resources, the country has a minimum of 20 mineral resources; is blessed with good conditions suitable for agriculture; food and cash crops and is strategically located.

The country has also produced a individuals with skills and knowledge that have excelled in every area of the global economy.

It is alarming that despite these positives, the country still ranks among the poorest in the world, while a vast majority of the population is considered poor.

The report said Nigerians who had minimal standards of foods, clothing, healthcare and shelter stood at 60.9 per cent in 2010 as against 54.7 per cent recorded in 2004.

Corruption is endemic in Nigeria and for decades public office holders have focused on milking cash from the country’s crude oil exports, instead of focusing on developing infrastructure and creating jobs for the populace.

According to analysts, despite holding the world’s seventh largest gas reserves, which could be used to generate power, Nigeria only produces enough electricity to power a medium-sized European city.

They are of the opinion that more than half of the country’s 160 million inhabitants live without electricity, while the rest have to rely on expensive generators run on diesel supplies controlled by a small and powerful cartel of importers.

Poverty has many causes, ranging from lack of basic services, such as clean water, education, and health care. Another cause of poverty is lack of assets, such as land, tools, credit, and supportive networks of friends and family. A third is lack of income, including food, shelter, clothing, and empowerment — political power, confidence and dignity.

Some of these factors directly affect poverty. Others contribute indirectly, by producing inequality—by stifling the political power of certain sectors of the population, for example, or denying them their dignity or human rights. All of these factors are affected by the environment in which people live.

Mr. Chuks Benson, a sociologist and business man, said that he will not describe himself as poor going by the World Bank’s estimate of who a poor man in today’s Nigeria.

He said he and his family spend not less than N3,000 on a daily basis in feeding, accommodation, transportation, shelter and other miscellaneous expenses.

He explained that coping with the harsh economic condition such as we have in Nigeria has not been easy for him. According to him, there are lots of uncertainties that one needs to grapple with in living in this country.

He cited those uncertainties to include sudden changes in prices of commodities as well as unexpected hike in transport fare by commuters.

“This country is such that you might go to a nearby shop to buy the same item you bought a night before and you will be amazed that the price has suddenly changed. I once bought a roll of tissue paper for N50.00, after two, I went back to buy the same tissue paper and was told that the price has been increased to N60.00.

“Transportation is very epileptic. You actually cannot predict what the price will be each day. The transporters can just wake up one morning and depending on the number of passengers available on the bus station decide to increase the fare.”

He maintained that such sudden changes in pricing showed that the nation operates a hyper-inflationary economy, arguing that any country where this happens, the masses are always impoverished.

On what he thinks about the level of poverty in the country, Benson said, “To say that the economic situation in this country is biting is an understatement. The poverty level is quite high considering the wide gap between the have and have not. Benson further stressed that a situation where a family either stays in shanty or uncompleted building shows government’s insensitivity to the suffering of the masses.

He believes that the government can alleviate the poverty level by simply provision of some basic amenities such as water, electricity, housing, good road network, transportation, medical facilities among others. He noted that there would be automatic transformation in the nation that would reduce the level of poverty if these basic amenities are provided.

He said, “With the provision of these basic amenities, there will be drastic reduction in level of poverty because jobs will be created, people will no longer spend money providing these amenities for themselves. For example, an average Nigerian provides electricity for his household, water and electricity. All this money would have been saved from the person earns.

“Government should take decisive steps to tackle this problem. As a matter of fact, government should be responsive in this regard. Nigeria runs an oil- driven economy and we have the kind of oil that is on high demand all over the world. Government generates a lot of revenues from this. It is just unfair that government, both past and present, has not been able to rise up to their responsibility to the populace,” he averred.

Also speaking, Mr. Ndubuisi Onwutuebi, a Building Engineer who specializes in Plumbing, also said that going by his daily expenditure, he will not be said to be poor. Just like the other respondent, he puts his daily expenses to about N2000/N2500. On what he earns annually, he told Saturday Vanguard that as a contractor, it is difficult to have the right figure since what he makes varies on yearly basis.

He described the country as a place where only those who have ‘god fathers’ in the corridors of power excel. For him, survival in Nigeria is only for the fittest. “There is no help from the government, so each person is left to sort himself out and face his fate alone,” he lamented.

Onwutuebi noted that high level of poverty in Nigeria is as a result of government’s insensitivity to the plight of the masses and her failure to tackle infrastructural decay head long.

He believes that government’s intervention is needed in the area of agricultural development, arguing that investment in that sector will go a long way in reducing the level of joblessness in the country. “I think we have what it takes to feed ourselves in this country, only that the government has failed to do the right thing. The youths need mobilization. Everybody is searching for white collar job and it is not leading us anywhere. If only the government will assist in opening up this sector, a lot of youths who are roaming the streets today will be gainfully employed.

“Look at the Japanese, what made the country was technical jobs. The government should also try and invest in infrastructure. All these will help in bringing down the level of poverty in the land,” he counseled.

Managing Director of FBN Life Assurance Limited, Mr. Val Ojumah, said that with the high unemployment rate in the country, so many people that ordinarily should buy insurance ignore it.

He said “So many people that should actually be buying our insurance products don’t have jobs. Where will they find money to pay our premium? So we have a large population of poor people who can’t buy insurance because having an insurance cover presupposes that you have an income.”

Ojumah said that the fact that the economy is growing at an average of 6.5 to 7 per cent does not in itself mean that the population is growing because unemployment rate is growing at an average of 23.9 per cent.

For Adeshina Samson, an insurance practitioner, the Nigerian economy is not growing like the South African economy which has impacted positively on insurance penetration in South Africa. “If you want to do a comparison between Nigeria and South Africa, for example, you also know that their economy is way ahead of ours. We still have a long way to go here in Nigeria”.

For Andrew Greenwood, Chief Operating Officer of FBN Life, there is poverty in Nigeria as well as a big difference between the rich and the poor. However, the average amount of money that people take home in Nigeria is no worse than other African country, he said.According to him, the average take home pay in Nigeria is probably slightly better than most African countries.

He said “But what I can assure you is that the growth in this market is going to be considerably higher than the growth in South African market over the next ten years because the opportunity is here. Nigeria has 1/5th of the African population living here and I reckon that in fifteen years time a quarter of the African population will be in Nigeria.”

Greenwood said that one of the fundamental thing that is different between the South African insurance market is that it is a lot more sophisticated, stating “Insurance market in South Africa can be classified as first world in terms of the products, systems, technology as ell as awareness and is equivalent to what you can see in countries like the US, Australia, and most of Europe. That is why the penetration is about 50 per cent of GDP in South Africa compared to the five per cent of our market penetration here.

[quote author=musiwa,,. link=topic=879329.msg10271375#msg10271375 date=1330175413]beaf you posted a figure of the old west. why did chief awolowo go to jail.

Azikiwe from the east conspire with the north to [size=14pt]break up the west, and for them to be able to do that, they had to jail Antony Enahoro and Alfred rewane. Which was the reason why they refuse to install an Itsekiri man or Uhrobo or Isoko or Benin man as premier. But an igbo man whose root was from onitsha as premier. Azikiwe was a nigeria govt agent. And the nigeria govt runs most of the media at that time.[/size]

And that why Ojukwu never like azikiwe. Azikiwe also conspire with the nigeria govt to oppose ojukwu and the igbo people during the biafra civil war.

This is how they made up the figure you posted. You can see the satellite pictures clearly shows, all that figures were made up.[/quote]My sentiment excatly

BY CLIFFORD NDUJIHE, Deputy Political Editor
THURSDAY February 23 was a special day in the month-long funeral rites of late Elder statesman and Leader of the defunct Biafran Republic, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. It was a day that the funeral train stopped in Lagos and laterally caused the centre of excellence to stand still.


Some Igbo traders during the event
As expected, all roads led to Tafawa Balewa Square, TBS, Onikan, Lagos, venue of the ceremony organised by Ndigbo Lagos and funded by the Lagos State Government. The city experienced massive gridlock on many roads leading to Lagos Island. Many personalities and groups turned up in colourful attires.

From the lips of eminent Nigerians who converged on the arena, it was tributes galore for the late Igbo leader. It was also time to x-ray his contributions to the Nigerian nation and his ideas on how to stabilise the ship of state and spur the country into rapid development.

Chaired by Second Republic politician and veteran presidential candidate, Dr Tunji Braithwaite, who was Ojukwu’s childhood friend and lawyer, speakers at the ceremony said the country could face direr consequences if the issues and problems that Ojukwu fought against in 1967 were not urgently addressed.

Such issues include restructuring of the polity, devolution of powers to the constituent units of the country, ending inequity and injustice and treatment of all Nigerians as equal citizens irrespective of ethnic origin and religion.

Without addressing these issues, especially through a National Conference, some eminent Nigerians at the event feared that the country might implode.

Ojukwu’s life mirrors Nigeria – Chukwumerije

Vice Chairman of the Odumegwu-Ojukwu burial committee, Senator Uche Chukwumerije, started his tributes by offering apologies on behalf of the Chairman of the Committee, Rt Hon Justice Chukwudifu Oputa, who could not come because of illness.

He described the Lagos ceremony as a homing of sorts for Ojukwu and all Nigerians.

See more photos of Lagos funeral for Late Dim Odumegwu-Ojukwu

His words: “The funeral train represented by the steering committee has been to a few places in Nigeria and has still a few more places to go. We regard Lagos as very peculiar, very different from many places we have been to because we regard our coming to Lagos as a home-coming.

A home-coming not just for Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu but also for Nigerians. It is home-coming to Ojukwu because Lagos was virtually the first home of Ojukwu. He knew and fluently spoke Yoruba even before his native language, Igbo. Those who know Ojukwu would recall that the fondest childhood memories of Ojukwu were all rooted in Lagos environment. The cosmopolitan and detribalised values into which Ojukwu was socialised gave up Lagos State among other places. So, we see our coming today as a big home coming for Ojukwu. And the Ikemba, wherever he is, his spirit will be very much excited that the love which he had consistently shown to Lagos State is being reciprocated today by this wonderful reception organised for him by Lagos.

“It is also a good home-coming for Nigerians because the period, in which Ojukwu grew up as Nigerian patriot was the period that marked the highlights of Nigeria as a federal state. People remember that from that period to today, Nigeria has been on the decline. If you looked at the life of Ojukwu, from the time of his stay in Lagos through his career in the Army to the period in which Ojukwu and his people were rejected by the Nigerian system to the time of reconciliation, you will note one condition: Ojukwu’s personal life mirrors the life and times of Nigeria.”

Odogwu, Dozie speak

To Odogwu, the problems Ojukwu fought were still there and needed to be addressed. “Nigeria is still looking for direction. Inequity and social injustice he fought against are still there. I urge Nigerians and the leadership to correct structural deficiencies and social injustice.”

Dozie concurred with this view, adding that the solutions Ojukwu proffered for peaceful co-existence and unity of Nigeria were still germane.

We must learn lessons from civil war – Fashola

The host governor, Fashola, reiterated the need for Nigeria to be a peaceful, united and prosperous country where no one would be maltreated on the basis of tribe, tongue and religion by learning useful lessons from the civil war.

Noting that the civil war was not about secession but about Ojukwu’s love for his people, Fashola said Ojukwu was a detribalised Nigerian who did not love Nigeria less but loved his people more. Stressing the need for a united Nigeria and praying against another civil war in the country, the governor said Ojukwu would not have been happy if Igbo people came to mourn him in Lagos by obtaining visa because Nigeria had disintegrated. Noting that Ojukwu’s exploits could not be forgotten in a hurry, he said the late elder statesman was one of the greatest apostles of true federalism and a Generals’ General, who fought hard for what he believed in, Fashola said Nigeria’s history would be incomplete without a glowing mention of Ojukwu’s role. He described Odumegwu-Ojukwu as a rebel with a cause who did not necessarily pursue a secessionist agenda, but only fought for justice. He said that Nigeria would be a better place if its leaders emulated Odumegwu-Ojukwu’s leadership qualities, adding, “Nigerians should use the lessons from the civil war to strengthen the unity of the country.’’

Adebayo pays tributes

Speaking on the life and times of the ex-Biafran warlord, General Adebayo, who recalled how he convinced Ojukwu to join the Army at a ceremony in Umuahia where Ojukwu was Assistant District Officer after his return from Oxford University with a Degree, said he would miss Ojukwu because “he was a great loyal officer from the day he joined the Army.”

What I learnt from Ojukwu – Nwachukwu

To Nwachukwu, who recalled that Ojukwu was his commanding officer at his Battalion in Kano, said Ojukwu taught him that what made one a great soldier were not guns but the ability to convince people through knowledge and intellect.

“I speak of my commanding officer, Col Odumegwu-Ojukwu. I was brand new from the military academy in Canada, posted to 5 Battalion in Kano, when he joined our battalion as commanding officer. Ojukwu was a fine officer, an officer we could all emulate. Let me say, I emulated. An officer, whose loyalty you couldn’t doubt. A man who was caring, a man, who as young officer said that totting gun would not make you an officer. ‘What makes you an officer is your knowledge, your ability to convince your people to follow you into difficulty.’

“I buy all of those from him. Ojukwu could convince you using his knowledge at the time to do exactly what you wouldn’t want to do. For instance, when the first coup occurred, my battalion in Kano was not so much in support of it. I was posted to take command and to defend the Airport in Kano with my orders at the time not to allow any plane to take-off or land. But fortunately or unfortunately, an Airforce plane came in that was carrying Major Olusegun Obasanjo at the time.

With a message before Odumegwu-Ojukwu, who was my battalion commander, I led the plane down against orders, rounded them up, surrounded Obasanjo like an armed robber, drove them to my battalion headquarters, handed him over and returned to my duty post. Later on, I was told to come back and when I did, I was told to take Major Obasanjo back to the airport. I put him in the back of the Land Rover and took him to the Airport and he flew up. The following morning, Ojukwu flew in an Airforce plane and was appointed the military governor of old Eastern Nigeria. I did not see him from then on until he returned from exile.”

What a load of horseshit. time has left you behind

Tell me 1 valuable lesson someone like my kid or your kid can learn from Ojukwu ? Just one

Why do you think South-south did not attend this lecture ? Na by mistake ? Certainly not

I wonder what they would be collecting lectures for ? How to lead 3 million people and get them killed and abandon them midway only for you to comeback and you would be treated like a hero.

Or maybe invade other people's land and try to annex it to biafra calling it libration when they never asked to be librated.

Beaf:
Ok, my bad. I did mention that Delta state needs to get back its oil wells from Ondo though (first comment on the thread).

The fact that most of the oil is in Ilaje areas does not foreclose the existence of oil wells along disputed border areas between Edo and Ondo. It is such wells that Oshiomole is talking about.

How u talk know . You no be PDP man again ? So now you agree with Oshomole

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=879329.msg10269168#msg10269168 date=1330140959]You seem to be misunderstanding two things.

1. Bendel is not Edo. So that there was some sort of dispute between Ondo and Bendel does not mean that there is one between Ondo and Edo.
2. Almost all of Ondo's oil come from a single LGA. Ilaje. Ilaje is not contiguous with Edo. So how can there be a dispute over oil wells between Ondo and Edo?

As I said, it seems more likely that their comments were directed at Delta. . .[/quote]I wonder why you are replying these Igbo people. What do they know. Abeg lets keep watching the show.

NB: and for those of you in this forum trying to link the Edos with the Igbos, stop that trash!!! Historically, culturally and politically we are not linked to the Igbos, we are more of western than any other group. We may be a minority, but we definitely don�t need the Igbos.
