wesley80: I see the PHCN guys have chosen to go down fighting which BTW is just as well! I do honestly hope Prof Nnaji has enough to shut them up. Here's your Okonjo-Iweala moment Prof.

Goddess12: Crude oil in your region, where? liar ibos don't have oil, you don't even have coast line, so where are you going to get the oil from, sand? cos the SS people you rely on for oil have their own identity and will not go with you greedy bastards, we all know where iboland starts and ends, all the propaganda will not bring you oil, the minorities are wise now, so go and tell people who don't know nigeria about oil that is not in iboland since they won't know the difference.

CyberG: Now you call me a thug? Whatever...if other Nigerian let you live in their land, they are docile and cowardly, if they kill you in thousands, they are terrorists and it is genocide, if they engage you in war you started and beat you into a pulp, they are lazy and lost the war, if they make their lands attractive to you and foreigners, their lands are conquered, now if they say put your mon[b]ey where your mouth is, now they are thugs?? Okay but yes, let them leave our lands and I will meet you before you cross over and I will travel all the way from where I am to make sure you will never gloat even over a piece of cooked meat in your plate again in your life![/b]

CyberG: Like they left in 1967, they will surely leave! Only this time "Police Action" will be without mercy and I want to personally challenge you to meet up with me before you cross over! I will cross you over to where you will never return to run your big cancerous mouth again. No offence, just acquit yourself like a man! Do you want to see what leaving was like then? See....

Goddess12: We all know ibos see lagos as your small london and go there in droves, but why don't you go to these places you mention that is right in your backyard? cos there is nothing there, any rich ibo made it in SW, even south pole is visited nowadays, but ibo land nobody goes there.

CyberG: Can you all please fvucking leave and NEVER return?? Lagos existed for hundreds of years before Ibos migrated near Nigeria. The quality of life will immediately increase as soon as all the Ibo criminals, kidnappers, 419ers, drug barons, all leave and go back to their land locked, erosion plagued lands!

2mch: The fact remains the whole SE is the size of Oyo alone. The fact also remains that the population you see in the SE is because they are jam packed into a very small land area. So the population will look bigger than it is. The fact remains Igbo's are in the SW in the greatest population in Nigeria. Should they try to cause trouble, it will be to their detriment. Face the people issuing threats and advise them. I hope you all learn from history. I am just speaking facts. if you dont like it, nothing can be done about that.

2mch: I have been to Enugu, ebonyi and even Aba is scanty. The landmass vs population is very small compared to SW states. This is a fact. The Igbo population in the SW is no small feat. So when you and yours issue threats, you better think.

2mch: Come and check them out in the SW. I am very serious. Even the remotest places in Idanre hills have Igbos. This is why your states are scanty. Nothing wrong with exposed Igbo's. It is the village ones/ the escapees and descendants of child soldiers that constantly come on NL to talk.

2mch: It is not today your propaganda started. Start with action first. Afterall you do realise 70% of your population is in the SW? And we are triple your size in population, this is not counting the ones that live outside the SW? You must live abroad. Make sure you come and fight and witness. I hope we dont hear about cries of extinction. Till then you can sit back in your toilet job and fight on the internet, while your oga is on break. I asked you to say amen to your lie, why are you shifting the goal post? Do they teach you guys to lie and boast when you are born or what? is it cultural?

aletheia: @OP: Learn to use power responsibly. Here are some tips to cut down on energy expenditure.
1. Change all your light bulbs to low energy ones.
2. Switch off lights when you are not in the room. Conversely, only switch on lights in rooms that you are actually present in.
3. Boil only the amount of water you need. E.g. it is waste to boil a kettle of water when all you need is a cup of hot water.

If there is no power you will complain. Now you have 22hrs/day, you still complain. What do you people want? >:(

HNosegbe: But seriously, I have to ask, again, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE NORTHERNERS?

Northern Muslim Elders Reply Asari Dokubo: Go And Read Your History
Posted: August 13, 2012 - 16:51
Asari Dokubo
By SaharaReporters, New York

Prominent Northern Muslims elders, represented by Alhaji Usman Faruk, a former military governor of North-West State during the General Yakubu Gowon regime, have dismissed the threats of the leader of the Niger Delta Volunteer Force (NDVF), Mujahideen Dokubo Asari, telling him to go and brush up on his History of Nigeria.

The response came yesterday at the Sultan Bello Mosque in Kaduna wher Faruk, a frequent face at the Sheik Ahmad Gumi’s Ramadan sermon, was asked to speak, from the elders’ perspective, on Asari’s threat to Northern Nigeria.

A source at the event related to SaharaReporters that Alhaji Faruk first commented that the elders had waited to hear whether President Goodluck Jonathan would say something about Asari’s threats to cut off the North and his bragging about the armoury under the NDVF, but that no such response had come.

Of the elders, he then noted that they were the ones that fought the civil war. “We conquered them including their Bayelsa and gained victory, the answer I will give him is he is not the first to fly the kite.”

Faruk said that before the start of the civil war in 1967, his government set Chief Obafemi Awolowo free from prison although it was another government that had put him there.

“Eventually when the war was to start with Biafra, [Awolowo] went to Ibadan and gathered all Yorubas that they should know the war about to commence was between the North and the East, and the Yoruba in the West were not part of it,” he said.

“We received this with shock and the whole Northerners met in Kaduna and we issued them a warning that we heard they (Yoruba) were not part of it and we agreed but we have one demand,” he said.

That condition, according to him was the establishment of a One Mile Corridor. “From Offa which is in our region, from the rail line to the sea (wharf) we declare One Mile Military Corridor, meaning all of them who built houses within One Mile, we will crush down their houses. And nobody will stop our vehicles and vessels from accessing the sea, this we told our Yorubas in Ilorin to tell them. And from that time we never hear them. This is Military Corridor, we of the past hope our children will carry it,” warning that nobody could stop the people of the North, whom he said number 120 million, from accessing the sea.

“If he doesn’t know let Dokubo go and read history,” Faruk said. “Awolowo attempted he failed talk less of one boy.”

He also disputed the Nigeria’s population according to religion, blaming Obasanjo for refusing identification by religious faith in the 2006 census in order to avoid proving that Muslims are populated than the rest. “Today, our population is as Muslims is 120 million and the rest are 50 million,” he said. “Because of this, if census will be conducted again they must be column for religion.”

The source said Faruk also blamed politicians, including Northerners he claimed to have been bribed, for the onshore/offshore economic imbalance.

“This comprehension is above our people here it means, crude oil extracting in the sea and that in the non sea region,” he said. “From Lagos to the high sea it about 200 mile and people like Ghali Umar Na’abba in their time were bribed and they conceded to the onshore/offshore deceit. This case was taken to Supreme Court and the court ruled against it, despite that our lawmakers did not do anything. Today, what Bayelsa State is collecting with just about 3 million people triple what Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa and Katsina States 10 times.”

He said that legislators of Northern extraction in the federal legislature must challenge and change this situation in view of the fact that the Supreme Court has ruled against it. If they cannot do it, he warned, they should all come back home.

HNosegbe: What about subsidies, tax reliefs, technical/design assistance and other incentives to help the sector grow?
