South East and South South please learn that Nigeria does not love you.

South East is not South South...get used to it or provoke more insults against igbos....

Sapeleboy911:
Oil exploitation has destroyed my plantain farm. You see how I'm loosing, the water from my borehole is unsafe for human consumption, due to gass pollution.

sorry oooo....its better all this oil companies leave and never return....better we have something to eat than oil.....

Sapeleboy911:
Sometimes I wonder how you guys reason. NigerDelta is unsafe for oil coys to do business, but safe for exploitation of crude oil. If ND is unsafe why not move your pipelines and all your equipment from the zone? Do you know the amount of damage that gass flaring has caused on these areas? Take Ogoni as a case study.
And as for all land belonging to the FG. So the FG will come from no where and joyfully extract gold from a mine sitting on your fathers grave all in the name of ALL LANDS BELONG TO THE FG.

As for lazyiness on the part of the youths, oil coys can sign an MoU with host communities on the best way of reducing youth restiveness .Think with your brain please.

i have my corn farm....i dont care about oil...

HughJazz:
Why don't we move the nigerian capital to Niger Delta. lol . instead of cleaning their own house.

but the capital is already near to the delta.....what do you want more....the capital was in lagos...remember??..more far away..

now its in abuja,more nearer to you.......what the hell do you want more??....

Basic123:
who dey demand for your friendship.We are not friends and we are not enemy.we are just neighbours.

tell am.....and what are south easterners doing in threads concerning deltans the ol time.....

ColonelDrake:
Over 95% of AGIP's workforce are indigenes of south south. Yet you still them dress like paupers for fear of kidnap. Enter the facility and see them change cars every month. They dress like that to make their people believe that they're poor in order not to kidnap them.. With Agip boasting of very high percentage of indigenes in their workforce, they're still the worst hit when it comes to vandalization and sabotage of oil facilities.


Relocation my foot!

tahh....dont mind them joor....we have to get rid of igboid way of thinking......make the area safe...you dont have to force them to stay.....how...at gun point......

Amarabae:
look at how you just exposed yourself. I ask again.
Where in Delta state are you from? Mr Impostor

none of your fvcking business....go ask ngozi.....

Ekinematics:
Militancy is not an issue here. Even before militancy these companies have been in Lagos.
Imagine going to Lagos for an interview when the IOC you will work for(and even your place of work) is just at your backyard here in the Niger delta.

Or Yorubas getting the better spots in the IOCs simply because the HQ is close to them?

Or royalties in the form of tax and other structural developments that would benefit the Niger delta is been given to Lagos.

I repeat since they say the Niger Delta is unsafe, then they should pack out. You can't come drill oil in an unsafe region, period!

the delta can become another lagos easily...you just need to keep people safe....the investors feel safer in lagos...

make that possible in the delta too and they will stay....

its more cheaper for the investors to be in the delta,why are they in lagos....??...where is our international airport??,the port is it save??.....try to understand how a investor thinks....first get rid of that igboid get rich or die trying attitude,then things will change...

Amarabae:
you can't deceive me, you are an impostor.
btw,which part of delta are you from?
i want to catch you now

none of your freaking business were am from,from the delta...

I OWE IGBOS NOTHING!!!!!...

Amarabae:
This thread is not necessary, it reeks of emotion.
this victim mentality is not needed.
let every ethnic group fight for their interest.
I am an Asa lady from oil rich oyigbo lga Rivers, married to a state in South East, and yes, i will love a Restructured Nigeria or an Ibo only country.
Nigeria has raped us all,nobody want an attache,
to your tent O israel.
so this thread is an embarrasement.

the south south and the south east are not toghether....if you wan speak for the south east,then speak for the south east alone...

Ekinematics:
Then they should leave our lands. We have companies that are willing an eager to stay in the Niger Delta.
It's left for the fed gov. to grant them the licence..

good.....that i agree....but the militants are still a problem.....

we should get rid of the oil companies that dont want to stay and militants.....
all of them causing trouble must leave the delta..!!!!...

Amarabae:
this comment betrays you! you are an impostor and not from south south, no south southner will reject the relocation of olc headquaters to niger delta.
shame for denying your tribe and geopolitical zone.

why the hell should i force them when they dont feel safe their?....

you should be accusing the militants not the investors....my opinion as a deltan....

KINGOFTHEEAST:
batundra again? myndd44 please do your job and don't be partial

kiiiikikikikikiki....

Ekinematics:
So you are telling me kidnapping is not in Lagos?
They can drill from the SS even with your acclaimed security issues, but can't set up their headquarters here.
I'm beginning to doubt your ethnicity.
A true south southerner will never reason like this.

i know,i know...am overdoing it....but this delta igbos are pissing me off,big time!!!...

Greatigbos:
let them be





i hate all this shit



make dem go drink there oil....beacause that is wat gave them impression that igbos are attaching to them

tell your people to get lost!!!!.... ....

Igboesika:
The worst thing that can happen to a man is to deny his identity.

sooo,i should lie that am yoruba to please your ego....

ExplorerReturns:
yeah I have around in this forum for sometimes now and I am proudly an Igbo man from afam community in oyigbo local government area of rivers state.
i know that you are batundra from ogbomosho

thank you...atleast you admit that...we none igboid south southerners dont think like igbos....

no matter what i say,south southerners would listen and still do what they think.....only igbos call everybody yorubas because they disagree....who told you i must agree with you in everything....WHO THE HELL DO YOU IGBOS THINK YOU ARE!!!!...

look at them trying to talk for the south south again.... ..

you south easteners should back off!!!!.......

ExplorerReturns:

stop insulting me...am not that nice....i know you are igbo.....

i am a south southerner,you are not....talk only for the south east or shvt the fvck up...!!!!....

CXLVII:
Civil servants you meant?


Re a aware te South-South economy depends solely on oil more than any other state?

The west is and economic an industrial hub
The north is an active agricultural hub


So who gets hit the most?

Non remittance of ordinary 2 month allocation will ground any state in the South-South....

they dont think....if all oil investors leave then the south south would be grounded........they dont plant food dont have financial hubs....the south southerners are mostly rural..........thats just facts......even if they have 100% resource control they wouldnt understand how to use it....the thinking deltans know its the igbos medling in south south business because they understand more better how the financial world works....the igbos are threating the south southerners like children...

we know the deltan militants are mostly igboid....

Cooly100:
...and Buhari is here now. Who choose him? Now what did the Igbo tell you?

look,,,i mentioned the igbos because they think anybody that disagree with them is automaticaly yoruba....

ExplorerReturns:
look at this Yoruba man claiming to be from south south. people like you are why Yoruba's are being insulted in this forum shame!!!


this shameless Yoruba guy was supporting the reps for saying that oil companies headquarters should not be relocated to the Niger delta but rather remain in Lagos.

dont insult me....forget what igbos told you....my area is in the south south,,,,,i have the right to say my opinion too....

why they hell should we force the oil companies to relocate when you always kidnapp their staff and blow up their investments??...

Cooly100:
..but remember what the Hausa/Fulanis told you? Did the Igbos also kill Obi Wali and Ken Saro Wiwa?

look,,,,i dont want to go in such things with you.......who killed who rubbish.....

people were killing people since we left garden of eden....

my point is,nigerians should only always choose the best no matter which tribe....

example is jonathan.....many of us knew that jonathan was a bad governor,,,why choose him to be president?...

nnokwa042:
OK since only the northerners knows how to rule let them continue ruling Nigeria that's what u mean right?so only the northerners understand the job of DSS right? U see the mind set of every northerner 80 % of oil well in ND is owned by northerners still u people re not happy abuja is in the north you people re not happy you people distroyed Nigeria for 38 years still you people re not happy ,I blame only the British not you

heyyy......wait a minute....if boko conquer 1/3 of your territory you are in charge of,i call that job badly done!!!!....

dont tell me how to think,,,,,who the hell do you think you are??....

willibounce1:
All of them shouting about moving headquarters to Niger delta did not see anything wrong when the self centred asari dokubo built his university in Republic of Benin. Why didn't he build the school in niger delta to improve the economy and help the people he claimed to.be fighting for? Most of the stupid senators talking sentimental crap of relocation have businesses in Lagos. They steal money and go.buy houses in dubai and London.

You want them to relocate so that you can threaten them to employ ogogoro siping youths who know nothing than to kidnap, steal and shout oyel oyel like headless chickens. If you want oil companies in the niger delta, go and build one yourself. Instead of them to hold their governor and NNDC leaders responsible, they'll be making stupid threats up and down.

they are crazy...

the goverment deceided well...its not the business of the goverment to force investors to stay....

nnokwa042:
I should go and see how things work right ? just like kastina state producing 55 DSS for recruitment while anambra and akwa ibom 8 each so now northerners re more educated in Nigeria abi? Keep fooling ur self it will not continue like this for ever bear that in mind enjoy it now while it last,four northerners ve died in sit of power ask ur self why

sooo,nigeria should just hire anybody no matter wheather they understand what they are doing or not.....

jonathan was from the south south...how did that went...??

i completly disagree on choosing people on sentiments.....if a hausa is better to do the job,then let the hausa do the job....
if a deltan is better in doing the job,then let the deltan do the job...we should only choose the best and not according to tribes...

jonathan was a bad governor,but you wanted that moronn to be president by force to please your egos?...

ibombiz:
this might just be the rebirth of new faces of Militancy and violence in even the peaceful states,and Nigeria.

you mean more criminals??....

Ogonimilitant:
please this topic is not for Yorubas

i am not yoruba...

forget what the igbos told you.....when your own people disagree with you,it doesnt makes them automaticaly yorubas....

nnokwa042:
while all the cows belong to Fulani's the cocoa afonjas shares the money alone but then when oil is mentioned u remember one Nigeria u people re wicked with devilish mind ,abuja was developed 100% with oil money but today only the northerners can be minister of abuja capital territory abi? Things will never be the same again in this Nigeria nobody be mumu again ,

go fing out how the system works and sop making too much noise....

nnokwa042:
u be ewu jalingo and where is Nigeria getting her 2 million barrels of oil day ? OK from Ogun state and jigawa state abi ? Isi adiro GI Mma ma ncha ncha ,oil money from naija delta is good for building rail way from Lagos to kano right? But for oil companies to move thier offices to Niger delta then u remembered that ND is not safe

the west and north use the money from oil to develope their region and welcome you their anytime....what do you do with your money...??....nothing,nothing a tall....even if you get 100% resource control the delta would still be underdeveloped.....

you get 13% more than other states but yet the delta is less developed...you think you can fool us?....

nengibo:
Leave matter for mathias, everyone understands the dynamics of this hq issue, the Niger delta must correct every issue created by the companies & the politicians, this backward reasoning of always mentioning tompolo & dokubo everytime the deltans ask for their rights is fooling nobody.

it was not the likes of tompolo and dokubo that made that 13% thing possible...

SexyRat:
I write today as a very perturbed southerner. What I still find inexplicable is how the educated men and women down South could nimble at the carrot given to them by the North. The likes of Sen (Dr.) Obi Wali, Dr. Kenule Saro-Wiwa, Chief Harold Dappa Biriye etc fell for the plot by the North and Britain to decimate the Old East and it appears we still haven't learned our lesson. I understand they all wanted a State while the Civil War dragged on and seeing that that was an exploitable crack in the wall of the formidable Eastern Region, the common enemy - North, Britain, and their sundry allies - purveyed the bait: CREATION of RIVERS STATE. What I am saying is that while Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu and the entire East were busy planning a very serious war geared towards emancipating our region, our own leaders in Rivers State were busy rummaging for personal gains from the war. We were virtually telling our brothers in the Old East that "We shall fight on your side if you promise us that you will create Rivers State". This is one very sordid account of that war. The storytellers, historians, if you choose to see them as such, have not told us what happened next: what did our leaders do to sabotage the Eastern Region in that war? Unfortunately, the trio are deceased: two killed by the ones that promised them heaven on earth - Nigeria. Learned men like Drs. Obi Wali and Ken Saro-Wiwa were butchered and hanged , respectively, by the forces of their alliance.

The Civil War of the 60s is replete with an avalanche of accounts most of which are divorced from reality. The entire accounts, I mean documented ones, are ideologies, not the truth. Most of the accounts gravitate towards the notion that it was A WAR OF THE IGBO, BY THE IGBO, AND FOR THE LIBERATION OF THE IGBO. The notion above has given birth to numerous seeds of discord between two sister regions. Our alliance, coupled with the criminal participation of Britain and France, gave Nigeria an edge over the formidable Biafra forces, leading to the end of the war. When will grownups like us ask fundamental questions? How many of us have bothered to remove the heavy lid shrouding the real events that started and ended that war? I find our gullible stance in relation to twisted accounts of that war most unsettling. For instance, whence has the account that says the Biafra forces in some areas in the South raped and killed southerners come from? Why would a party to a war that is denied weapons, starved, and targeted by an alliance of forces rape and kill those they found as their sympathizers? How would the disadvantaged in a war be concerned about ungodly acts in lieu of the leeway out of their throes? Who is reponsible for this sort of whopper that cannot be gobbled by the even the worst of dolts? It takes a blithering idiot to believe this offensively mendacious tale. If this is the smog barricading the unity of South-South and South-East today, then my brothers in the South-South should rest assured we have nothing against our brothers in the East.

Another reason I am livid is the apathy shown by some southerners to the real problems in the region. The calibre of persons that have been opportuned to lead us in the South are avaricious, self-seeking, and detached from the peculiarities of the region. Leadership positions, for our kind of leaders, fosters the happenstance to go federal, and this outward outlook has been the leadership mien of our political officeholders in the South-East and South-South. No leader in our sister regions has bothered to ask the direction our national ship is being steered. Whenever and wherever they do, it is done to achieve a selfish aim. Ours are leaders who say every pleasant thing so we can become their ladder to the top. Aspirants for political offices in our sister regions become activists and regional welfarists overnight only to jettison same after having worn the sought-after crown. The leaders in the South-South and South-East are highly impervious to our common problem. What the sister regions have always wanted is economic and political relevance, with the odds obviously against the South-East.

I am peeved that the South-South, having failed to provide the needed alliance to the South-East during the war, has continued to sustain the maltreatment of the easterners. It is a horrible thing that a governor in the South-South, in the heat of the illicit detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, could go to the North and say "THE UNITY OF NIGERIA IS NOT NEGOTIABLE". Note that this same governor sought the support of the numerous Igbo people in Rivers State and got it, since the Igbo community disliked Amaechi's betrayal of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan. Matter-of-factly, the Igbo so supported him that he made one of them commissioner. But today, however, his policies tend to target and impoverish Igbo petty traders in the guise of sanitising the environs of Port Harcourt. As I write this, VULCANIZERS, MAKE-SHIFT SHOPS IN THE POPULAR MARKETS IN THE STATE, ROADSIDE TRADERS etc HAVE ALL COME UNDER ATTACK BY AN ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY THAT IS DEVOID OF PALLIATIVE. A similar thing occurred in Edo State while the Rumpelstiltskin cum leprechaun called Oshiomhole held sway as Governor. I am sure that my readers still recall the "go and die" Freudian slip committed by the then governor. Yes, a widow was asked by a sitting govenor, who was supposed to be the custodian of the social pact, to go and die, because she held him by the foot and pleaded that he show clemency to her. Horrible humans we call leaders! My concern is that the South-South derive immense benefit from the Igbo, yet their government policies gravitate towards emasculating the financial state of Igbo. Why? This has to stop. I know our Igbo brothers and sisters will never cower, but we must stop marking them for death. The Igbo have suffered enough in Nigeria. They deserve some reprieve. I long to see a time when the Igbo will find a hospitable country of his own to ensconce himself. We must get there.

The South-South have always disregarded the Igbo to their own peril, for every endeavour devoid of the support of the "children of light" has always boomeranged. Agitations in the South devoid of the support of our brothers in the East never saw daylight and, in some cases, took the life of the agitator(s). Our people in the South-South are still comatose concerning the force the support from the East can give to us. Sen. (Dr.) Obi Wali, Dr. Kenule Saro-Wiwa, and Adaka Boro have all been sacrificed on the ALTAR OF EXCLUSION OF THE EAST. Are we willing to sacrifice more lives because of our unfounded fear of those that understand and are willing to partner us? Our Eastern Region compatriots have been extending a hand of followship. When will we take this HAND? Okay Gowon gave us Rivers State and so what? Has the creation of Rivers State conferred on us CONTROL OF OUR RESOURCES? Is it not in this same Rivers State that a sitting governor is being hounded and dealt political blows by the forces outside? We complain that the Igbo are cunning and slippery, but fail to see that we have lived peacefully with them all our lives. We claim they raped our women during the war, but fail to pinpoint at a single case of rape, arson, and related rift involving the Igbo who dwell amongst and with us.

In concluding, I wish to appeal to our brothers and sisters in the South-South to have a rethink. SEQUEL TO THE CALL FOR SELF-DETERMINISM IS THE NEED TO REUNITE OUR SISTER REGIONS, USING DIALOGUE, SYMPOSIA, TOWN HALL MEETINGS, SEMINARS, SPONSORED JINGLES, AND RALLIES. The bad practice in Rivers State, where our governors (Odili, Amaechi, and Wike) always boycott the East to court the North and West does not augur well for us as a people. For instance, in the just concluded Golden Jubilee celebration in Rivers State, I did not see the Obi of Onitsha but I saw the Oni and Sultan. I stand to be corrected. In Odili's bid to become President of Nigeria, moneybags lept over the East and landed in the North and West. Did he become president? Amaechi's ambition to become Vice President of Nigeria saw him shuttling among Rivers State, the West, and the North, to the exclusion of the East. Is he vice president today? The present Governor of Rivers State is toeing the same ulgy and ill-fated path. When will we learn that the East is the only true ally we have? When? The South-South has been preyed upon by the North for so long, but in order to extricate ourselves from the talons and predatory grips, we must reach out to those who truly feel our pulse. Like us, our brothers in the East have been economically and politically disintegrated, prejudged, misconceived, and estranged. Now that they have set a dream in motion and want to co-opt us, I think we as a people should leave our selfish leaders and critically and open-mindedly study this IPOB project. United we stand. Let us cast the negative stories aside and discuss the way forward. The real enemy is the one our political leaders wine and dine with. We, the people, should put on our thinking caps and begin to think for ourselves. Let us endeavour to do for ourselves what these venal political leaders cannot. Nnamdi Kanu has shown us how indomitable a truly determined person can be. The people of South-South and South-East should work together to rebuild the FALLEN BRIDGE. Let those who still hold a debased view about the intention of our Igbo brothers and sisters recall that they gave our Dr. Goodluck Jonathan their entire states in the last Presidential Election. If that does not show how loving and brotherly the East is towards us, then I wonder what does. May God help us.

that doesnt exist no more.....the south south clearly separated from you.......

get used to it or declare war..

we south southerners separated from you...the goverment or who ever didnt force nothing....
