[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=780625.msg9333571#msg9333571 date=1318534591]well "My people" the Anioma(Igbos), are in the Niger Delta. "My people" are in Rivers(Igbos). I take offense when another ethnic group is trying to lord over "my people", Igbos in ND, which later on, as proved by recent actions of Ijo, will claim our land as theirs. Btw, stop being a hypocrite. [/quote]Kedu!!

@phreakabit

I support your position 100%.

Chyz and other Igbo brothers, I think that we Igbo must learn to live with the fact that Ijaw is our IMMEDIATE neighbor, no matter how annoying they sound sometimes.
If there is a war in Nigeria tomorrow (which I believe is inevitable anyway), we will need them, and they would need us.
THAT IS A BOLD FACT.

Nuff said.

phreakabit:
I didn't want to do this but dude shut your ignorant and insolent mouth! They are actually doing you a favor. I don't know why the SE is yet to take this move. I am sure they are acting on intelligence report. I mean think about it, Boko Haram is made up of Abokis. The more Abokis you have in your state, the more likely it is that Boko Haram will creep in under the disguise of "innocent" traders and strike pretty soon. You talk about war? I dont mean to be a prophet of doom but mark my words, with the way the country is going the war is very very inevitable ( Only God knows if we will make it to 2015). I don't care what transpires between SS militants and the North, but if I were you I will do like the Yorubas do and stay out of Issues that don't concern me. BTW Igbos have not had the best of relationships with the SS but THE ABOKIS AND THE IGBOS CAN / WILL NEVER BE FRIENDS! Based on my comments you can guess where I stand.

SECURITY WISE IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE AT PEACE WITH YOUR IMMEDIATE NEIGHBOUR.

Both if ur replies showed upmost inferiority complex

Why can people post on issues

Or are igbos not look part of Niger-delta ?

Where you not the same people boasting of igbos in SS only to turn back now

rubbish

D Don1:
My people from what I've seen about the Ibos  you won't believe it. Some of these ibos are terrorists, they even kill their fellow ibos. For now, there is no Ibo credible politician. Non should enter the president seat for now. They are killers, they shade blood easily. At times what these hausa and yorubas are doing to the ibos is fair. Let us rather support the niger deltas and the calabars. I supported ibos quite alright, but now I've changed my mind. You don't knw what i've found out.

can you people stop posting crap

Niger delta is not any better than Igbos(not ibo)

or are you kalabari aka Killayut

if igbos are killers, so is every Nigerian, tell me what an igbo man has done that others have not done before ?

neither sambo and mark would become the president  Insha Allah

People, STOP VOTING FOR PDP thieves !!!

Look at candidates like Sanusi and Fashola even Rochas

Vote for humble and effective people not people that have ciroma, obj and ibb as there God father

mbatuku1:
He practiced the same politics his 'descendants' in the SW are playing today. Boxing themselves into tight corners, not seeing the bigger picture, etc.

Like some said above, he had no reputation elsewhere besides the West. He was a loner/ lonely loser in the nigerian political spectrum.

really can you stop posting trash

Ayowumie:
Who is SLS?

Sanusi CBN gov

seanet02:
He was only saying the Truth!!!

Exactly the truth hurts and Nigerian hate the truth. Imagine if you were not yoruba, would you have voted for Awolowo after such statement ?

Exactly tribalism right ! well that is Nigeria for you, We have lost great leaders because of Tribalism

from Awolowo (accused as a tribalist because he was a yoruba man as a poster said)

to Buhari ( accused as a religious bigot because he was a northerner and a Muslim)

Great leaders

Now Rocahs, Fashola and SLS would come 2015, tribalism would not let us vote for them as well.

This people need to be careful. In niger delta, we have ondo, delta, edo, bayalsa, rivers, imo, abia, akwa ibom and cross river

Now I want to suspect they are only talking of delta, bayalsa and rivers state

Egbesu can not speak for the ilaje, itsekiri, urhobo and anioma igbos in delta state.

also they can not speak for ikwerre, ogoni in rivers state

I hope they know that the whole Niger delta is just a geograogical expression that does not equate to Ijawland/izon land

1luvkipsus:
He was a only a yoruba man,not a Nigerian.unfortunately,the election was for Nigerian president and not yoruba president.remember he saw Nigeria only as a 'geographical expression'.

Love Awolowo to bits but I think that was the problem. He saw Nigeria as a geographical expression.

sasakosa:
This is another money going down the drain . i remember the=N=10 billion obj govt. earmarked for poverty allievation which was hijacked by his party cronies.T The FG should have try to revamp our dying infrastructure and providing a good enabling environment for business to thrift and hands off his running of business enterprise.

very correct sir,

BetaThings:
Zoning was binding on PDP members. It was in their constitution. Remember that it was tested in a Nigerian court?
It is actually constitutional!
Saying it should be validated in 2015 with SE taking the first shot already barricades the argument
Indeed if there is anything to be validated, it is the commitment of SE to agreements.
I am saying this not because I dislike the SE, but to draw your attention to issues that might affect SE's quest
I have no doubt in my mind that were Yaradua alive and healthy and running a 2nd term, everybody would be courting SE candidates now
BTW I don't want a woman president. Even if they zoned it to SE and SE came up with a woman, I would void my vote

Ha, same here but they would call you a sexist

Beaf:
You always talk as if there is akanmu and sand in your head. What has the Sun got to do with this story?

Then it has nothing to do with daily trust.

why was this thread derailed ??

people face the topic, it has nothing to do with yoruba and igbo afterall, the country is mixed and zones does not define ethnic groups

In the SW, there are lots of igbos

in the SS there are lot of yoruba

in the SE, northerners

in the north, yorubas and igbos. so really what are you people fighting for ?

Mods please can you grant me my request. Thanks

pDude:
Look at all these fools up in here. You guys are here arguing over meaningly crap about Zik and Awo who have become less than maggot sh.it while the govt is looting your country's funds. Keep preoccupying yourselves with these useless arguments. Dumb Nigerians.

You know what

You are 100% correct.

they forgot to add 1 billion naira on inauguration party

600,000 dollars on iweala every month

1.5 million naira on food every day in aso rock

etc

Is this is government that want to remove fuel subsidy and yet can not subsidies it own budgets and steal by hyper inflting a project worth 20 billion to 165 billion

A BILLION that is a millions in 1000 places

Yet all the infrastructures they claim to have build with this hyper inflated budgets are yet to be seen

reminds me of Onitsha river port etc

htajz:
this must be a joke or twisted news

LOL this is the sort of disheartening news you get from Nigeria daily

Just today

this is not about igbo and yoruba. haba

discuss about the topic or leave, not everything is igbo or yoruba u know

Beaf:
Stop being funny, the Chinese deal to build 3 new refineries is old news that has been dealt with on NL several times. You no de read newspapers?

actually lagos, balaysea and kebbi state not rivers

Now the actual i saw on nairaland but did not tell us what year it would be commission

btw, it started june 2010 so what year is it going to be commissioned ?

Has the project even started at all ?

thanks

Johndoe100:
@ the Yoruba peeps here

Is this thread about the old violation victims or the fact that the SW has the highest number of known rapists? We have known all along that you guys are just criminal. If you steal peoples oil, their company's and such, why not steal sex as well.

Just admit it and try and enlighten your people.

dude lol dem dey steal sex as well

Beaf:
Thats gutter morals on display.

@topic
The story is very bent and useless, there isn't even a direct quote, rather it is 3rd party news quoting another website which isn't in English (the whole thing is more like gossip).

Nigeria has a deal with China to build 3 new refineries here in Nigeria. 1 in Lagos, 1 in Bayelsa and the last in Rivers.

How do you know ? Are you Jonathan himself

Jokes aside, any verification on ur claim ?

Just today as we were discussing on this thread, Nigeria invested 2.8 billion dollars meant for Nigeria to indonisia

Are we not our enemy

[size=13pt]Nigeria to invest Rp 24t in Indonesian refinery deal[/size]
The Jakarta Post | Wed, 10/12/2011 2:19 PM A | A | A |
Nigeria plans to invest Rp 24 trillion (US$2.68 billion) in Indonesia to fund the construction of three oil refineries, an official says.

The Industry Ministry's director general for manufacturing-based industry, Panggah Susanto, was quoted by kompas.com as saying that both countries had agreed to build the refineries in Indonesia.

Nigeria, which produces 2.6 million barrels of oil per day (bpd), was looking for a partner to refine its crude oil, Panggah said.

"Previously they wanted the refineries to be built in Nigeria," he said Tuesday. "However, as Indonesia is currently improving its downstream industry, Indonesia wanted the refineries to be built here instead."

The refineries, which are projected to produce 300 bpd each, will be used to process crude oil from Nigeria.

"State firm PT Pertamina will buy the crude oil from Nigeria and process it here," he said.

aurenflani:
the iranians wanted to purchase the s-300 air defence system from the russians but the russians have been playing hide and seek. already the iranians are designing a better system domestically. so in answer to your claim about the russian factor with regards to ajaokuta steel, i say a serious nation would have since found a solution even domestically. afterall, we do have competant engineers and scientist etc. unfortunately, a are never ready for our collective benefit but individual benefit.

I believe so as well

Obj was the one that really killed this Ajaokuta for good

Every year, thousand of PHD engineers etc are churned out universities, only to remain unemployed

The fg should use this people

igbo2011:
Useless government this just makes me sad.  These politicians are too easy to influence.  Give them something shiny and tell them it is worth something.

was it not a similar topic I was discussing with you on the other thread some hours ago

Well look at it now

A refineery meant to create some jobs for people has been taken to Indonesian

Iweala and co do not cut it for me

Beaf:
Daily trust is the most useless and bigoted paper in Nigeria. Its editors even publish stories to support boko haram.

And the sun newspaper is not bigoted abi ?

Where is ur objectivity ?

Where is that PointB and edicolove.

Jonathan should stop listening to Iweala and maduke

these two ministers are not it at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

igbo2011:
Very true, we need to set start manufacturing.  South Africa is doing it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma1c2soMzuw&feature=channel_video_title

Government loves supporting Adenuga and Dangote but they need to also help Innoson get off the ground. it is called the infant industry.  I learned this in my first university economics class. Ngozi has a PhD she should know about this too (unless she is a puppet for the west)

How so?

I strongly belive that Iweala is not working for us but for the west

All her polices since GEJ era has been against Nigeria, I don't understand her

Na wa oooo

rubbish

Johndoe100:
The problem of unemployment is more than the 300,000 you mention here. I would recomend that you study this administrations proposals on job creation. Altogether we are looking at creating between 4 to 5 million jobs in the next 3 to 4 years.

Surely, I know this that is why I asked if anyone is knowledgeable enough to educate me on the issue

Moreover, A journey of a thousand miles starts with a step

BiafranFirstSon:
Anyone whose state is mentioned as critical cannot agree therefore calling Nigeria a failed state. From 1960 Nigeria has been failng. Let no one pretend that it started today. IMO is my state.My state did not fail. Your state can be a failure. Like freecocoa who hails from Ekiti! I can read bitterness from you.

who told you she hailed from ekiti ?

she is likely to come from ebonyi or SE

anyway here where about is not material in the discussion

asha 80:
one more thing ajaokuta steel was dead on arrival.read up about how the russians that set it up did it in a way that will make us dependent on them to run the factory

I think it is a very very sad and painful event that our government is not ready to let go and start again.

I keep thinking that if only the steel mines and innoson can work together, then we would not be having this unemployment issue we have now
