kettykings: Delta, Edo, ekiti and Ondo consume and generate more electricity revenue than Rivers, Bayelsa, cross River, Akwa ibom.
Fear Nigeria, this country is the biggest fraud in world history
This is not about generation, rather revenue made from consumption.
If you compare the 2 discos you'll find out that only Rivers has high electricity consumption from PHED, as compared to the BEDC where you have both Delta and Edo.
Also there are areas in Rivers and Bayelsa where LGAs are completely off the grid, eg Bonny & Brass. Also towns like Omoku, Akinima, etc are off the grid.
Only Enugu state have 5 Discos, the rest of the Discos have 4 states or less.
I’m only surprised with PortHacourt on the list, I’m thinking it should be in the top 5.
Port Harcourt disco is low because so many places in Rivers and Bayelsa especially are off the grid. For example Bonny, Omoku, Brass etc are off the grid. They don't use PHED.
Also based on population, PHED serves the least number of persons as compared to other Discos. As for industrial use, only Rivers has a meaningful industrial need for electricity, same can't be said for Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Cross River
Burob: Shameless Things, Just imagine so called Miscreants controlling the Empty Barrels?
Odumegwu Ojukwu had to be deceased for this nonsense to be able to occur, what kind of cowards do we have today, where so riff raff confraternity criminals would hold a society to ransom?
That guy is just too funny.. But this is not a funny matter. Ala Igbo is dying and we are hailing its imminent death.
mrvitalis: That was what lead to this issue today... Thousands of igbo youths locked up for months, women had same pants for 3 months
Ipob is still heavily present in obigbo
Nigerians are programmed to question the person reacting instead of asking what lead to the reaction
Obigbo massacre lead to esn Government formed UGM to fight esn
Ask yourself why no Python dance since esn was formed
So why is there no sit at home in Oyigbo? Why is there no incidents of ESN activities on Oyigbo? Why is Oyigbo not on the news for Ipob/ESN activities?
maintenant: I have no more time for simple-minded elements like you...
May we get a documentary prove of your silly assertions?
It is clear that you have no interest in intellectual engagement but the furtherance of your petty tribalism.
The Southern Cameroun was a UN/British mandate and when it was time to settle their question, they decided to chose the option that will guarantee their independence in the future.
You cannot be interest in the connecting the dots to the Ambazonia struggle because you have no interest in facts and truth but only inclined to pursue a sinister objective...
Now get out and stay out!t
You can continue with the insults, but light will always win over darkness.
"Following the Ibadan General Conference of 1950, a new constitution for Nigeria devolved more power to the regions. In the subsequent election thirteen Southern Cameroonian representatives were elected to the Eastern Nigerian House of Assembly in Enugu. In 1953, however, the Southern Cameroons representatives, unhappy with the domineering attitude of Nigerian politicians and lack of unity among the ethnic groups in the Eastern Region, declared a "benevolent neutrality" and withdrew from the assembly."
Our ancestors harbored a lot of ills towards the Igbos over the very reasons you detailed here. Even if Nigeria is to be balkanized through a referendum today, 95percent of South South indigenes will rather want an independent region than be annexed under the same regional settings with the Igbos.
That we exist in peace today is because we know chaos would be detrimental to whatever small strides of growth we're trying to make.
The British Cameroun issue was resolved via a UN-supervised referendum. The enclave was angling for independence but the desire was vetoed by the British at the UN General Assembly leading to the referendum.
If independence were not on the cards, why is Ambazonia people angling for separation and independence now with countries like the US and UK asking that all parties should go back to the original agreement.
I'm not here to discuss Ambozonia struggle(whatever they agreed with La Republique is not my business). I'm here to let you know that 1 of the major reasons why they opted out of Nigeria was the inhumane treatment they got from the Igbos, especially after October 1, 1960.
maintenant: The trash you typing here has no basis in reality but is rather a figment of your warped imagination.
Go and read accounts by Anglophone leaders in the current Ambazonia crisis and get your lazy self up to speed instead of spreading defeatist fairy tales...
The South Cameroun wanted full independence but were vetoed at the UN by Great Britain.
Their leaders were shopping for a better alternative and decided to enter into a quasi-confederal union with the Republic of Cameroun with a secession clause for full independence after some years.
The decision of Paul Biya to unilaterally change the constitution to a unitary one is at the root of the crisis...
I deal with facts and not beer parlour gossips...
A United Nations referendum was held in British Cameroons on 11 February 1961 to determine whether the territory should join neighbouring Cameroon or Nigeria. This followed an earlier plebiscite in Northern Cameroons in 1959 which voted to postpone a decision. The option of full independence was not on the ballot, having been opposed by Andrew Cohen, the UK representative to the UN Trusteeship Council, as well as African and anti-colonial delegations, notably by E. M. L. Endeley, who favoured independence by joining Nigeria, and John Ngu Foncha, who favoured independence by joining Francophone Cameroon.
So the 2 great men from Cameroon who supported joining Nigeria or Cameroon respectively are not Cameroonians. I believe just like Ipob follow whatever crap NMK say, you believe everything Ambozonia warlords say.
They wanted to be independent as a separate country and they believed the agreement they had with Cameroon would guarantee them that instead of joining Nigeria where secession clause does not exist...
They never wanted to be a separate country. Stop the lies and the twisted history. The British never gave them the option of becoming an independent nation, rather the option was either to join Nigeria or join La Republique du Cameroon.
After Nigeria's independence in 1960, Enugu remained the capital of Eastern Nigeria which British Cameroon was a part of. Before independence the British Cameroonians held meaningful positions in the parliament of Eastern Nigeria, but after Nigeria's independence, these people were made to be mere floor members. This angered the people, which led to their yarning to be free from Igbo dominance.
Then the British stepped in and gave them an offer. Letting them know that they are too small, with limited resources as at then to be a country. It's either they join Nigeria fully or opt for La Republique du Cameroon. They opted for the later, because they needed to run away from Igbo dominance. The northern part opted to join Nigeria because they felt Northern Nigerians treated them better than La Republique du Cameroon.
Go and educate yourself on Cameroon plebiscite of 1959 &1961, and The Foumban Conference.
maintenant: You are completely divorced from reality...
Southern Cameroon elected to join the Cameroon with the supposition that the articles of the memorandum of the merger which would allow them to be independent would be honoured...
Do some reading and research and stop making noises on a subject on which you have no clue...
Ask yourself why did they opt out of Nigeria in 1961?
kernniejay: The fire trucks and personnel are only meant for taking photos and all the paparrazi to deceive people like Anambra10000thSon, after that they move the trucks back to where they belong and everybody goes back to their baby factories.
Nwanem take it easy on us. Our Anambra is a sh*th*le, don't make it worse. There was fire outbreak even as at yesterday. But these photoshopped fire fighting trucks were nowhere to be found.
Chino and his multiple handles here like , jcoleworld911 and the like are here defending nonsense.
Jogs1900: This Anambra state truck wasn't there yesterday. It was a federal fire service truck that was there. Still the same location. Anambra state fire service no try.
Jogs1900: Does it mean Anambra state can't maintain its fire service? There had been. two fire incidences in Onitsha this year, the first one, it was Delta state fire service that came to their rescue. The one that happened yesterday, it was the federal fire service that went there. What is Anambra fire service doing?
When I saw this mumu thread by chino this came to mind. He's here posting mumu pictures and chest beating with lies and dirty environment, while when the need arose it was Delta and FG fire trucks that came to the rescue.
Second, instead of wasting your time to write this long epistle, why not simply enunciate the projects that Awolowo sited in the Midwestern Province when they were under Western province let it be that it was only Yorubas that were in charge?
Again, is it not to Okpara’s credit that he saw every territory under the Old Eastern Region as Igboland which made him want to develop everywhere evenly?
Would you compare him to Awolowo who saw minority territories as not Yoruba land and therefore not worthy of being developed?
First of all I'm more Igbo than you are.
The deeds of Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello in their regions of control are well gazetted. I'm not here to spoon feed you, rather I'm here to burst the lies from empty chest beating fellows like you and the OP.
Calabar was a bigger city as at then than Port Harcourt which was only formed around 1912. So what stopped M. Okpara from doing these things in Calabar?
No, he only focused on Enugu which of course was the capital and located deep in Igboland. Then Port Harcourt which was growing at that time, also boosted by the discovery of crude oil in Oloibiri, with it's sea port already built by the British. So M. Okpara had no choice but to focus on Port Harcourt too, because it's under Owerri Province and as at this time the natives have been fully subdued by Igbos. So to him he's expanding Igboland.
Ask yourself why will an average Ikwerre detest being called Igbo? Why will an Etche man, even an Omuma man detest being called Igbo? Why will an Ogba man detest being called Igbo? Why don't Ogba people sell lands to Igbos? Why are we Igbos naturally careful around Ijaws? Why did Ojukwu immediately arrested Adaka Borro? Why don't you see threads on nairaland by people from Bayelsa & Rivers, Akwa Ibom & Cross River attaching themselves to the SE? Why is it only we Igbos opening threads on a daily basis to force a relationship that the other party is not showing any interest in?
maintenant: The load of baloney you just put up there just turned history on its head...
The north was the worse culprit in the marginalisation of minorities...
Read your history, Mr Fake Igboman...
The Middle Forum is probably the oldest minority political platform in the history of Nigeria so what are you talking about?
Southern Cameroon did not opt to leave Nigeria because of the ridiculous reasons you adduced but because they enetered into a kind of confederation with Francophone Cameroon with the option of seeking full independence after a short period of time...
The crisis in Ambazonia or Anglophone Cameroon today is an attempt by Anglophone Cameroon to call back the agreement that was reneged by Paul Biya in the 1980s...
Before you post these childish opinions, I suggest you do your research first...
The North was the worst culprit, yet Northern British Cameroon voted to join northern Nigeria because they felt they were treated fairly by the north.
The north was the worst culprit, but the north has been more united than the south since the onset of this country.
The north was the worst culprit, yet you don't see northerners opening threads everyday to force themselves on minority tribes of the north.
The North was the worst culprit, yet since the creation of this country voting pattern of the north has been uniform on average.
The north was the worst, yet the level of uprising by minority tribes against the majority has been overwhelming in the south as compared to the north.
The north was the worst, yet you'll never see a northerners insulting minority tribes of the north online and offline.
OP during the time of the Eastern region there was nothing like Port Harcourt Province. Port Harcourt was under Owerri Province. Okpara just like every average Igbo man felt he was developing Igboland.
Read and digest your info first before spewing trash on nairaland. Minorities were subdued especially after Nigeria gained her independence. Only the north treated her minorities fairly, hence their level of unity till date.
In the South all the minorities opted to leave. SW Cameroon eg Bamenda province, Mamfe province, Kumba province and Victoria province left the Eastern region to join Cameroon, because of oppression by the Igbos.
Midwest region left the Western region to be on their own based on the same feeling of oppression.
The Ijaws tried leaving the Eastern region, but Adaka Boro was arrested and jailed by Ojukwu and our Igbo grandparents.
During the civil war, the military president who was Gowon had to grant the minorities their wishes which weakened the strength of the Igbos.
So stop opening thread of lies. Even till date minorities have it worse in this country.
Building a hotel and an industrial layout does not mean Igbos were good to the minorities. Ask yourself who were the people working in the hotels? Igbos! Who were the people heading the affairs of the hotels? Igbos! What factories/companies were allowed to operate in the industrial layout? Igbo owned.
Or you want to tell us that the Yorubas and the Hausas never built any meaningful infrastructure in areas of their minorities? Then you lie....
shortgun: Tinubu simply doesn't have what it takes to lead this country.
Tinubu snubbed and humiliated over 300 ably qualified military generals to appoint their junior all because he wants someone from his ethnic group in position.
Other presidents before him appointed Service chiefs and CDS from other tribes according to seniority. Tinubu is a bigot
Odibembem: U are wrong, SS and SE have never been one right from time. We in Midwest axis of Edo and Delta were with d Western Region till 1963, we were never with Eastern Region. CRivers, Akwa Ibom, Rivers and Bayelsa were only with Eastern Region when d Richards constitution divided Nigeria to regions in 1946, before then they were separate on their own. The SW after d creation of MidWest stopped making claims to MidWest, why is d SE still claiming SS? Intermarriage is not perculiar bw SS and SE, lots of intermarriage also bw SS and SW. If u want to be subsumed and subservient to d SE, that's your business but no true son of his father would allow his identity to be subsumed by another no matter how small maybe. In Delta d Itsekiris are very small in population but they would never subsume themselves under Urhobos or Ijaws or Yorubas who are close to them. Learn to stand and maintain your identity. There are Fulanis in NC and NE but u never hear NW claiming that NC and NE does not exist. It is sacrilege for a Berom man from Plateau or Tivi man from Benue to claim that cos they were all once in Northern Region, that they are same with NW and that NW should come and subsume their identity. Sacrilege!
The way my Igbo people keep attaching to the SS is sickening. Before 1946 we had only northern Nigeria and southern Nigeria. After then we had 3 regions, then by 1963 it became 4 and finally in 1967 states were created.
Everything was created out of something. Midwest was created out of the Western region. Bayelsa/Rivers & Akwa Ibom/Cross Rivers were created out of the Eastern region. Others region have moved on, but our people of the SE don't want to move on.
