Stolen:
People from Delta are not Igbo.

you are totally stupid and idiotic

AtlanticBreeze:
tah, shut up.. Good foundation ko. Talking about good foundation, Chime and Akpabio were the only governors that left a solid foundation and legacy in their states but lets see if there successors will do better than them like obiano is already doing. It's better people face realities on ground and do away with sentiments

Enugu is quite indebted

qualified:
the man is not an Igbo man, he is from Niger Delta

is nzeogwu niger delta or Igbo?

doctokwus:
That's how it goes.I have always postulated that any self determination struggle built on a extreme tribal jingoism in Nigeria would be a recipee for disaster.
Ethnic warlords, having lost out in the political power struggle,deluded internet irritants and a few brainwashed fellows are promoting what they don't understand and the endpoint their tribal hate is beclouding them from seeing.
If secession is forcefully got,regions, not just Ibos will continue balkanizing themselves till there are as many independent countries in Nigeria as there are towns.
Imagine Kachikwu,despite his clear Ibo roots is now being disclaimed because he is not from the southeast.
Tomorrow,a southeastern Ibo maybe appointed and d next chant will be he/she is not 'central Ibo',and on and on because this present struggle is being promoted by those I mentioned above with a champion in a scammer sitting in a small house in london,whose fraudulent antecedents have been severally exposed.

can you point to the tweet or post that says he is not igbo? Just curious

magicminister:
One thing I have realized is that you guys are very passionate and that is a good thing.
Read my post again... can you pick out any part that was denigrating towards the igbo tribe?
I do not hate the igbos and I admire their spirit.

The "reckless igbos" are those calling for violence... they are the ones insulting everybody and getting under the skin of anyone that does not support their cause!!

Common 2nd niger bridge, the governors from the east cannot come together and pull it off (charge the federal government for it) but they want to pull off biafra.... even if u pull off a biafra, is it your current igbo leaders that will take you guys to the promised land??

why didn't sw pull there resources together to repair common Lagos ibadan expressway?

AnambraDota:
I think Imo used to have Grasshopper Handball Team in Owerri, what happened to the team, used to follow them then.

If you go to Oleh and see hockey field there you will marvel, just that all these sports doesn't produce millionaires and internationals, they just for past time

grasshoppers were sponsored by state govt..i dont buy govt sponsoring sports

its d same over here...the EEDC people charge us 7000 a month and we pay cause we dey get steady light here for close to two years now

which place?

iiiyyyk:
Is either Nairaland is now a forum of Nigerian Chaff minds or Kids. In that case, this forum its gradually losing what made it popular.

Back then, we would have seen strong analogies from Nigerians home and Abroad, but today all u see when an importantt topic llike this come up is dafts booking space they will never use, or saying nonsense or out of topic.

Now the truth is that, for Nigeria to develop, 2 things must be done, if not we are just wasting our time. Buhari can't do any magic. By 2019, every thing will even be worst, Unless this 2 things are done.

1. true federalism, states with natural reourses, can develop their resourses and send certain % of fund to federal..... yl other resources shared with different %.
2. Economic power must go to States and/or regions and Autonomous LGA's while federal Govt should retain, military, police for now, CBN, Foriegn affairs. some tetiarry institutions and tetiary Hospitals as symbols of our National pride,

With this, in 10yrs, the story of Nigeria will be a proud one.

problem is some Nigerians are not disposed to these points you posted..

ChimaAdeoye:
[size=14pt]My abooki friend getting angry because the truth was spoken,
Please, Which part of the lion share that goes to Kano, Katsina, Kaduna, borno, or even Abuja was derived from selling beans, tomatoes, sorghum, millet or even Nama as you will have us believe? Shebi abookis pockets all the money they make selling all these goods to southerners, while they still turn around and insist on grabbing the lion share of oil which God gave to others that don't have massive fertile land?
Lets examine this lie a little bit and see how the money from beans and millet has contributed one penny into the federation account. So if i plant maize after receiving improved seeds from Federal government, received the fertilizers free from Federal government, then i harvest my Maize, sell it and pocket 100% of the money, i can claim the money i made and pocketed is part of my contribution to the Nigerian nation?
The agricultural produce are only useful when they are exported and foreign exchange earned from them goes in the Federation account. This had NEVER happened in the history of Nigeria. So why are you insulting the person that spoke the naked truth? Just asking,[/size]

I think agricultural products known as cash crops were exported during the regional era in the 40s 50s and 60s before oil became the main foreign exchange era after the civil war

AnambraDota:
I think I should start supporting this administration, I have my reasons and I will be rational about it.

This guy is not interested not just in Oil n Gas but pursue Agriculture, Industrialization, trade n commerce with similar vigor.

The dude is trying though he running one of the most expensive governments in Nigeria, he could flamboyant as much as he could be workaholic too.
Am supporting him

I hope they have beefed up security around orient judging from what happened last month

Chosen1984:
i don't think soooo! Alex otti needs all the Evidences he needs . I guess some good concrete Evidences would be within the inec establishment in the state.

let me break I down for you

If electoral materials used for obingwa elections are burnt in that inec building it simply means that otti would not be able to inspect the materials to see if results ballot papers were tampered with or that the thumb prints of voters were not done by one or two people..in general to see if the inec materials used in the elections matches the result announced for obingwa lga....

But guess what?those materials are not evidences per say..they are simply materials that needed to be brought to tribunal to prove which party is lying or saying the truth depending on inspection..so if there is no more inec materials for obingwa election then what backs up the 82000 votes written on the results sheet for obingwa?if there is noting to prove that elections were held in obingwa since the materials have been burnt the what do you expect a judge that deals with facts do? Nothing to back up your votes?

Remember otti's petition is that no election was held in 4 lgas with obingwa inclusive..pdp insists that election held there..apga then says ok bring the election materials for inspection and pdp will now say the election materials have gone or no longer exist..what do you think a normal judge would do?

Chosen1984:
Chai! They have finally Burnt all Evidences to be used in the tribunal in Favor of Alex Otti!

Abia! I hail thee

actually in this scenario it affects ikpeazu more than otti

kayce911:
Breaking News. INEC office on Fire in AbiaThe INEC Office at Obingwa Local Government has been reportedly burnt down by some group of young men that invaded the Local Government Headquarters some minutes ago.According an eye witness, one of the security men at the Obingwa Local Government identified an APGA stalwart from Abia State as the leader of the arsonists. The Arsonists were seen brandishing guns, axe, knives and other dangerous weapons as they forced their way into the local Government Headquarters.Some security officers from the Nigerian Police Force, the Army and Civil Defence are already stationed at the Local Government Headquarters. Meanwhile, the road to Mkpoko, the local government host town has been barricaded by security men.

you guys are pathetic

kayce911:
you can't be sure who did it. I'm suspecting Alex oti to gain sympathy.

so otti is supposed to burn down materials that wpuld help him in court?who stands to again with burning of inec material in obingwa?are you aware that pdp lawyers have been stalling for the inspection of materials used in the election to be presented in court for inspection?

OfoIgbo:
Nnaa this Heineken must have come from the beer

Magnus, Cletus e.t.c are Catholic/Latin baptismal names given to a lot of Igbo catholics, but only as a first or second name. Never as a surname.
Mind you I was told that Celestine Babayaro and Justice Christopher are Igbos. I don't know how reliable this information is, but even if it is accurate, I will be interested to know how they came about their surnames

babayaro is from nkwerre but he went to a training football camp in jos as a boy and the owner of that camp was a man called babayaro..all the people that graduated in that camp took up the babayaro surname..that is what I heard

barcanista:
Lokpoibiri is Izon. As for Heineken... Thanks to early contact with the Europeans.

I highlighted Heineken.
I know of lokpoibiri

barcanista:
Like Senator James Manager?

Heineken lokpoibiri

Dollyak:
They are, because they cannot fund it. Newyork contribute about 13% to the federal government. Do you think they can survive on less than 1% like lagos is currently doing? With more populations and companies, you tends to have more to do in terms of project and providing for people's basic needs.
The roads is pretty relevant because OGUN state government is not getting enough to run the state despite contributing a large sum. You can't compare it to sokoto who only has teachers, policemen to pay. Are you a northerner or YORUBA? I need to understand the context behind your comments. I don't expect a yoruba or an Igbo person to say the roads is not relevant. You can't just give people peanut and say get on with it. I am pissed.

ok I now understand your point

Dollyak:
Oh God! This is beginning to get to me now . I am too angry for words. Justice will soon prevail and the people's eyes will open. Most Yorubas don't seem to care about this at all. SW have worked hard to attract big companies and they can't even benefit from their sweats. I heard the northern region has the best roads in the country?
This is why I am no longer against the call for biafra.

I am not sure issue of roads is really relevant in this discourse because state are in charge of state roads while fg control federal roads

OkutaNla:
This is not about One Nigeria, it is about fairness. The Niger-Deltans fought for their 13% derivation. Why can't the south west also get special derivation for its contribution to the federal coffers? This is about fairness.

the 13 percent of niger delta is based on a product not economy..campaign for federalism the way it is supposed to be practised and not what we currently run

Nigerian Soldiers and civilians mingle as they cross the Niger Bridge at Onitsha following its re-opening. The bridge was destroyed during the Civil War. (1970).

this thread is for before civil war not during or after

Aromas:
Bros even thou the inec result sheet is burnt it won't stop the tribunal case going on.

I never said tribunal would sitting..just wondering the implication

onyfrank:
in this case of burnt inec electoral materials, won't the tribunal maintain the cancellation of this lga?

I think it depends on whose onus the obingwa result sheet was supposed to back whether pdp or apga

The problem is if inec results sheet was also burnt..if yes then there is problem because that result sheet is supposed to be brought to the tribunal office for inspection to prove that pdp won the election..

Ojiofor:
PDP in Abia is panicking as the real trial will start on 10th of this month as the judge stated he must deliver judgement before the end of this month.
I hope and pray that God will use this tribunal to sack Ochendo dynasty and his stooge and rescue Abia state from ochendo criminal enterprise.

well the obingwa 'evidence' seems to be burnt now so what next?

Nature129:
I raised 3 issues and you are reacting to just ONE, besides I gave a condition to that one *if that is necessary*

I reacted to the one I know you might not be privy to otherwise you would not have made it...the other two I have made my comments on them long ago and views are known here if you are a frequent visitor

Question for abia pdp..what would apga gain by burning the obingwa inec office when the result sheet for the governorship election is slated for inspection?

Nature129:
Why do you people care so much about universities when those who have graduated are busy roaming the streets of other states looking for jobs? Personally, I feel that building universities without building enough industries to absorb graduates means creating problem for ourselves and indeed Nigeria. Everyone must not go to university. Whatever happened to technical and vocational schools?

On the other hand, no matter what anyone thinks about imo being surrounded by Aba and Onitsha, I think it's important Imo builds her own industries not necessarily in Owerri but Okigwe or Orlu to create jobs for Ndi Imo and other Igbos. And who says we can't combine tourism and industries? Yes, we can because Lagos is a good example.

I just feel bad that S/East governors don't plan together. Why do we have to await federal govt to revive the coal in Enugu when we know that doing so as a people would create lots jobs for the Igbos? I think the governors can get a license (if that is necessary) from FG, pool their resources together, sign an MoU on how the revenue generated from coal can be shared, how the state indigenes will be employed, how much each state should gets, and what electricity if it will be used for power generation.

unless fg gives Enugu the permission to explore the coal within Enugu then Enugu cant do shit so your talk about all se govts pulling all the resources to fund coal explorations is moot...there is a reason for the clamour for restructuring the country from what is obtainable.now to what federalism is supposed to be..i hope you know about exclusive list under the authority of FG?

doctokwus:
Even if they live far off,they must be privy to info back home of d kind of hate and insecurity gradually being promoted from far off.
I may sound alarmist, and I do honestly hope I am,but little by little,gradually, as they all keep mute and allow d scammer and opportunistic politicians continue to disseminate false,hate filled and secessionist agenda,the region may steadily start getting insecure and its d part that doesn't make sense to me:d market closures,demonstrations, riots,destruction of properties are all taking place in the southeast itself, not that u are carrying your destructive delusions to other regions!
Ultimately, then its d region u claim to want a seperate homestead for that u are destroying!
Where will your people then return to if d southeast continue being enmeshed in one disruption, destruction and conflict after another?
For eg,when kidnappings were rife in some southeastern states,many indigenes refused travelling home,even during easter,August meetings and xmas festivities. These have severe economic impact because of d revenue and money spent by returnees during these periods.
In these days,many tribes,regions in the world think and plan economics,how best to attract money,investments and prosperity to their people,not archaic ideas of war, conflict or balkanization based on ethnicity.When it even succeeds,how far can u balkanize and for how long.No1pⁿⁿ] region can ultimately find joy until u balkanize down to probably the town or even village level.
The southeast region with this Biafra radio and nnamdi Kanu stuff with regular disruptions to tradings and market is like a region that depends on tourism gradually making itself unattractive to tourists.

you don't seem to get me..the enlightened and highly educated igbos are more living outside igboland than living in it..why?it is not so in sw and north..so that they visit once in a while might not necessarily cut it..i sm hope you dont feel I am for kanu or ipob judging some of things you wrote here

Stolen:
This is not a debate and u did not ask a valid question.


Nigeria being diverse, wen u remove a person from a position, to appease the group they belong and avoid accusation of tribalism, u replace them with another person from the same group.


It is not a coincidence that Oliseh and Keshi are both from Anioma Delta. Is the Nigerian national team Deltan?


However, this scenario is not always the case but based on the evidence was applicable in this case.

mehn you are off point..this is not political appointment ...if that is the case then why did siasia replace amodu?are they from the same state?no go talk this thing were ardent football watchers day oo.keshi replaced siasia are they from the same state?
