These are after effects of our problem.

What then are the real problems?

Mowire:
White flag up.
I was wrong

My opinion: THIS IS SCANDALOUS!!!!

IF THIS GOVT CANNOT SECURE FACILITIES IN LAGOS FROM MILITANTS OPERATING FROM N/DELTA HOW CAN WE FEEL SECURE FROM EXTERNAL AGGRESSION. GOD.

MEND you guys have to watch your advances cos if it comes inland the effect will be devastating on the innocent N/Delta community in Lagos. I sincerly don't pray for a repeat of what has happened b4.

What will happen to them?

ilugunboy:
Whether Atlas Cove Jetty belong to FG or the state government is totally irrelevant, the fact that they brought the attack to YORUBALAND is enough reason to start protecting yORUBALAND from these type of attacks going forward.

When the handshake starts getting pass the elbow, na kungfu be that.

Oya gather all the egbe omo yoruba,OPC and yoruba warlords and start heading to bayelsa,rivers and delta^.

ow11:
You are so blinded by the irrational hate that you fail to see the big picture. How does MEND attacking a FG installation mean an attack on Yoruba land? Does Atlas Cove belong to you?

Well If you can, you can begin to fight your fellow masses while the men responsible for your poverty clink their champagne glasses in Abuja and sell your future to the highest bidder!

You dey mind the guy.he does not even know atlas cove belongs yo FG and not LASG.

edwardd:
Hi everybody from Yoruba Land, I think we need to get our very own Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) militant ready and equip them with every possible equipment, if possible missile and Nuclear bomb ready for them cause I think this crazy MEND and foolish MOSSAB people wants civil war. We need to let them know we are ready for them anytime any day. Once they attack us once will should retaliate 20 times, like if they kill 10 from us. The OPC go straight down to Niger-delta to kill 1000 people simple then they will stop this crazy and Unless attack on Yoruba Land. Those stupid retarded bastards are afraid of the North because they are aware th Northern people are ready for WAR anytime any second. THANK YOU Everyone and mess every one from Niger-Delta that support the attack in Lagos. Maybe we should start Killing Niger-Delta living in Lagos then see who will be the great Loser.

one confused person. u cannot even differenciate the motives behind mend and motives behind massob.

Jairzinho:
lets leave that to military tactics and intelligence,its not for me to talk about how they go about their duties. My grouse is with our incompetent C-in-C who can't tell what his strategy is. . . . . . . .

If indeed the solution you're offering is the way to go,why then is it taking Mr Yar'Adua so long to get it? ?

because he is a stooge.

Jakumo:
Nothing will ever be accomplished by expressing anger over the absence of any usable grid electricity in Nigeria, since God Himself has decreed that there must be no electricity in Nigeria for the rest of all time.

Nigeria, by virtue of being the country with the largest concentration of churches and mosques in the world, has been selected by God to serve as a land of experimental subjects, whose response to electricity deprivation stimuli will establish whether Nigerians are in fact resilient enough to live in absolute darkness for decades. Only the chosen and anointed righteous few, who silently endure this holy test for their entire lives, will be permitted to pass through the pearly gates after they die from generator fumes.

Unbelievers may continue to cry for electricity in Nigeria after reading this exclusive disclosure, but all their wailing and gnashing of teeth will be in vain. Praise the Lord !

Guy u suppose dey write books chei!

nuzo:
Hia!

Sometimes you can't help but feel that nigeria is a circus show.So before the militancy started what stopped the country from having stable electricity

Abagworo:
My own be say i never understand wetin dey hard to grant total resource control to states.

U still dey ask

nuzo:
I wish to know too.
Is he not the alleged terrorist?

Well he is.Is it because the oil industry in nigeria is being crippled by mend and fg is hoping on calming the nerves of mend by releasing okah  

The Presidential Steering Council on National Integrated Power Project (NIPP) yesterday appro-ved a total sum of N283 billion for the NIPP projects covering Federal Govern-ment’s projection of 6,000 megawatts by December 2009 and 10,000 megawatts by 2011.
It also linked regular supply of power in the country to the success of the amnesty recently granted militants in the Niger Delta and the return of peace in the region.
The sum of N1.9 billion was approved for the structure, staffing and budget to prosecute the NIPP secretariat which is domiciled in the Niger Delta Power Holding Company Nigeria (NDPHCN

Is the FG trying to play on our intelligence?

Really stable power depends on amnesty

Why was okah hurriedly released?Why was charges against him dropped all of a sudden?

nuzo:
As if Tom Polo and Gbomo will think twice about your post.

u dey mind am.

Jairzinho:
I mean this man just disgraces/degrades Nigeria everyday.

First the entire military might of he leads as C-in-C cannot take out MEND,then you chicken out by releasing the MEND leader without any conditions,the rebels thank you for the gesture by attacking your commercial nerve centre.

I think we need someone with BALLS to call Commander-in-Chief.

You are either using diplomacy and getting results or you're a fighting and getting results,this wimp is doing both and NOT getting results !!!

This is the reason I really fear for the future of Nigeria,if you can't take on MEND successfully (either diplomatically or otherwise) how can you address mammoth problems like Power generation,Corruption and unemployment,not to talk of ethnic tensions in the North,MASSOB in the East,OPC,Area boys in the West,the National Assembly,Global Credit Crises etc

And to show how shallow our intstitutions are,rather than let this man go in peace,some ******( censored) is saying he'll definitely contest 2011??

Are we under a spell or something??

You never see anything.

presido1:
Those of you shouting "Full Scale" war, who are you warring with if i may ask. Mend is just a group and not a country or a separatist nation. They only operate on Guerrilla formulae. No particular base or anchor point. They attack and disappear into thin air. Ymight be suprise that your close door neighbour in Kano, Lagos or Abuja is a member of Mend. They strike and he come back home and mingle with the society waiting for the next attack to be drawn up.ou
Nothing like war that's why the FG is finding it difficult to contain them.

Why did FG ignore them for all this years, Keeping adamant and being arrogant can never help and i think it is too late now to go back to the discusion table which i doubt anything meaningful will come out of it.

You dey mind them.

Andre Uweh:
They are happy with Igbo language. With Igbo language, they can communicate with over 40 million NdiIgbo worldwide.

Uwe u don ur own .However seriously i have often wondered myself.I watched a program i nta once about opobo and the language the locals were speaking in the background was igbo .Maybe it has to do with jaja of opobo.

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=295733.msg4181010#msg4181010 date=1247518471]neverrrrr. i reject it in the name of Jesus[/quote]God and jesus left nigeria a long time ago.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=272942.msg4181027#msg4181027 date=1247518657]Lmao. . . you should be glad that we hold the third equation in the federal arrangement. It means a lot. There is nothing for us to[b] loot[/b]. The Federal govt distribute the allocations. We get what comes to us from the center. What comes to you is no different than what comes to us. Now, there could be mismanagement at the state level. . . thats a possibility. So your trouble need to be with your state legislators and governors. . . and not Yorubas. We don't accuse you of looting, do we? This is becaiuse we have a different way of governing in the West than you all do in the East. You see. . . this connects back to that approach I was talking about.

You need to identify the problem and isolate it for solution. . . instead of agitating at a whole ethnic group as the source of your problem. What responsibility do you have towards your own evolution? Your evolution does not rest on the Yorubas. If however you are looking for fraternity from the Yorubas as a unity of force against the North. . . then first your approach must change. You are accusing Yorubas and escalating your grievance against them but yet. . . you are surprised at their refusal to budge in your defense. Look in your own action and approach.[/quote]There is nothing to loot          . .Anyway u have made some salient points however as for looking for the fraternity with yorubas i do not believe it is ever going to happen especially with what happened in the past.As far as the the two ethnic groups see themselves as 'competitors' the north will always have a field day even if everyone in this two groups are havard trained.
The problem is that igbos say things as they are no room for garnishing a fact which is what some people see as lack of diplomacy on their part.It is now left for other groups to digest the information igbos are giving them or worry about how the message was passed.

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=295733.msg4180945#msg4180945 date=1247517801]@asha,
ah i see. u're used to it and immune to the effects of violence and attack.
well, i'm not and i don't really plan to be.

lol. and why would destroy (i mean mend) hire someone to speak against them?[/quote]Well start conditioning ur mind to it because it seems that is where nigeria is heading.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=272942.msg4180920#msg4180920 date=1247517506]Thank you for that feedback.

Your problem is our problem. But your approach is yours alone, we will wash our hands off your aggressive approach to separation. Your people were the pacesetters immediately after independence and for about 5 years leading up to the war. Has any Igbo truthfully revisited to do root cause analysis on where you fell of the landscape of power? You owe that to yourself.

I have said many times here that negotiation will put you back in power. It may not give you separation but it will definitely put you back in the circle of power. You see other tribes keep their mouth shut and say nothing untill they are in power to unfold their plans. Not the Igbos. . . you all hoot and holler about what you are going to do once you get there and how you will get Biafra by force. That's your approach and thats whats impeding your advancement into power.

Let your smiles and silence precede you and then let your action follow once you are in. Some people call that deceitful. Well, siddon there and continue to be honest. Negotiate, . do not demand.[/quote]What plans   looting the country u call ur own dry   You think it is only the igbos are feeling yorubas are 'decietful'.Go and talk to the average niger deltan and hear what they say.All i am saying is that yorubas should be careful as the future beckons otherwise they will find themselves boxed into a corner where there so called sophistication _{apology olusola osineye} will hold no water.

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=295733.msg4180834#msg4180834 date=1247516542]no offense but maybe if the bomb drop somewhere close to home u will change ur tune. [/quote]being from southeast i know the effect of bombs and what they have done so it is nothing new.

noetic2:
how does biafra and niger-delta fit into ur ideology?
which nigerian politician fits into ur ideology?
democracy? militocracy?

Biafra and niger delta agitations would not have arising if nigeria was not structurally flawed.personally i will prefer nigeria remains one but under 100% federalism( us style) and regions with similarity(like south east or south west) or different groups agreeing to be under one region(peharps niger delta or akwaibom/crossreiver axis) forming those regions instead of the nonsense states we have at the moment.

Yorubas believe in politics of convenience.Even if nigeria is falling apart it does not really affect them it does not bother them however if it affects them they expect the whole country to back them.

I am for capitalism or free market.

i do not believe in free education but education subsidy
