Professor Itse Sagay, Constitutional Law expert:
“I have been following the debate like others; unfortunately, those who speak on behalf of the Niger Delta on the issue have failed to hit the nail on the head. They should be bold enough to ask their northern colleagues, where does the nation’s revenue come from- instead of caressing the issue rather cautiously.

The northern part of this country does not contribute anything to the national purse. If the area that produces the resources has just a token of 13 percent, the remaining 87 percent is free gift to the entire nation, particularly the North that has nothing to show for its existence. At the Political Reform Conference in 2005, we went to the Federal Ministry of Finance to get figures and facts about what each of the zones contributed to the commonwealth. What we saw was amazing; the North-West brings nothing, the same with the North-Central and North-East. South-West brings minor but the South-South and south east contributes 91 percent.

The posture of the northern governors is the height of ingratitude and insult on the people of the oil-producing areas because they would have been bankrupt if not for the revenue that has been accruing to them from the proceeds of oil and gas.

This is a wake-up call on the people of the oil-bearing region. For instance this is the time to come together and fight intellectually for the anomaly in the uneven allocation of oil blocs in the country. You will observe that because of the long stay of the north in power at the centre, they manipulated the process and cornered these blocs to the disadvantage of the south; today, you have all juicy oil blocs in the hands of the north. Now that Jonathan is there, I would not want to sound being immodest by calling for a revocation of the blocs allocated to the northern businessmen, but from the look of things, they have decided to take the entire South for a ride, so Jonathan should ensure that he corrects this imbalance by allocating more oil-blocs to people in the South to make up for the inequity in the sector.”

alj harem:
Do you mean the one set up by Asari Dokubo with the middle belt ?

your a fool and deserve no other response.

alj harem:
How do you mean ? do you draw a line offshore or something ?

Moreover it is most likely the offshore oil is divided

first of all offshore oi have nothing to do with the north, middlebelt or southeast , it is left for the southwest and southsouth or rather ijaw,itshekiri,yoruba,ibibio/efik to define their offshore boundries.

alj harem:
The structure in the north is different from the south.

It is clear that the country would divide to atleast 3 unless we divide more

Now the North has set up a committee

The Yorubas have set up a committee which inculded the[b] kwara,[/b] edo and[b] kogi[/b] (I am sure Itsekiris we join in)

What is the SE doing now ?

Why is Ohaneze not talking about SNC ?

What of the SE governors ? etc these are the questions we should answer

which kwara and kogi? the ones the north have claimed, anyway the east have also set up a cmomitteee led by secetary ohaneze ndigbo Ben Nwabueze and Obi of onitsha among others the south south also have their committee so stop chatting rubbish.

alj harem:
If you are ready but cannot talk is that not very very cowardly of you all ?

BTW, what are your views on the offshore oil fields Nigeria own after the split ?

whatever, offshore oil belongs to the people/nations located there in the even of a break up.

alj harem:
Pat Utomi NEVER MENTIONED himself as a representative of Igbos or did he ?

I am talking like Ohaneze since Afenifere, Arewa and Niger-delta have spoken, where is Ohaneze in all this ?

hahhaha so thats the new cowardly approach after the north threatened to take kwara and kogi? even a baby knows that igbos have always been ready keep fooling yourself.

alj harem:
Igbos don't need to be at the forforth, It is clear the middle belt, ss, sw and north are ready, what are you doing ?

Are you in support or against ?

igbos will ever be ready stop this your stupid propaganda. besides pat utomi who is seems to be heading the call for it is Igbo.

alj harem:
get your facts right, Nigeria was never forced together because of Palm oil. or crude Oil

The reason why we are tolerating each other now is because of Crude oil; But as you can see we have gotten to the breaking point but the Igbo leaders are not talking

I want SNC fast so we do not kill ourselves because of vanity.

thank God they are not, your looking for scape goat. the south south is leading the call for it and yorubas should support them , out of 250 ethnic groups i dont see why you want to involve igbos in the frontline.

[quote author=phuck_NL link=topic=336747.msg4752518#msg4752518 date=1255795644]This guy is probably the most slow poster i have seen till date. I was born after the ghana must go issue happened but i definitely know what happened.
Yes Most Ghanians were chased out of the south. Did you ask yourself where most of them were located? Lagos right? Why - because lagos was and is the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria. Why would anyone be chased out of the east when you barely had Ghanians there. Most foreigners (Ghanians included) have their densiest populations in Lagos.
How many Ghanian shoe cobblers did you have in the east? Most of these guys were in Lagos so the issue to chase them out had nothing to do with Yorubas. It was a Nigerian decision

Very soon, we may have the same thing happening. Only this time it will be Benin,Niger,and MAli must go because the bulk of these nationals have taken over OKADA business on the Island. Yes, most of these Okada riders are not even from Nigeria anymore.
When that happens, you will claim it is the Yorubas again abi.
Trust me, if the Ghanaians were heavily populated in any other state, they would have received the same treatment[/quote]stop writting crap ,in as mch as the blame should go to shagari rather than yorubas, there were as much ghananians in eastern nigeria as they were in southwest but those in southeast remained up till today ,it never happened in the east.

danjohn:
Fashola has earned the right to be on the short list for President or VP.  I am happy that the rumor is floating around because right now Fashola can start planning his campaign while the electorate gets comfortable with the idea of a Fashola Presidency.  At the end of the day he can always deny this when people ask him and say it was a beer parlor rumor.

your are nursing crisis ,neither the north nor the southeast will sit and watch another yoruba man become president ,call it tribalism but that nigeria for you .we are yet to recover from obasanjos useless 8 years and you want to bring another yoruba man , i dey laugh we will soon know whether na only yoruba people dey nigeria.

T8ksy:
Oh so na aboki mallam go come lay claim to resources in the atlantic where his hungry cattles cannot reach?

Oh well, i have always known that the northern elite will not let go of their source of sustenance without a bloody fight.

Here comes, Nigeria civil war, Part II.

why wont they lay claim when some yoruba slaves like you are always out to defend them , bunch of low lives ,they have not only layed claim to off shore oil but also yorubaland in kwara and kogi, now go and shit in your pants.

T8ksy:
Ol' boy, keep deluding yourself o. No one is afraid of ibo secession, in fact we welcome it.

Maybe then you will take all your flat-headed fake drugs/spare parts dealers away from our region.

Please, hurry up and declare your biafra- no one will dare stop you as long as you don't have ideas at incorporating other peoples'

land into your landlocked, erosion-ravaged, kidnappers infested biafra.

demented fool ,yoruba leaders are all over the place calling for SNC while someone your are shitting in pants at the mere mention of igbo, silly low lives .with or without nigeria igbos will remain on top lets see who e worse pass for.

[quote author=Dudu_Negro link=topic=888860.msg10352999#msg10352999 date=1331161286]To all those who are issuing evacuation papers to non-oil producing states, the devil you face now is worse than the one before it!  The Northerners have recently gone crazy poring through the laws and uncovering loopholes, they just discovered a new incentive for which to renew their membership in Nigeria.  . . . . and guess what?  it's called "no man's oil"  !![/quote]you may be right but in a case where the country breaks up the north will have to forget  offshore oil , they can only lay such claims while the country is still united which by the way the federal govt is already taking the lion share from it.

Standing5:
Do people in Lagos' creek cry of marginalization from the FG? The answer is no, that's the reason people hardly hear about creeks in Lagos.
Beaf, u sound confused here. . .haba!

you obviously smoked something before typing this, the question is why is their own voice not heard at the federal level like that of the niger deltans .

lol we might as well burn down the whole country ,format everybody and start all over again from stone age.

oduasolja:
silly IGBOS.

Outside of the construct of Nigeria , you have no rights to minority land or any other land .

so keep talking poo.


maybe you will get on your knees and beg the ijaws to give you oil .

if you insist naija break up , then you better be ready to go on your own. cause no guaranttee that ijaw will give u oil or follow you anywhere.

u think if a new union will make the ijaws ask for less resource control. then i laff ohh. keep shouting eastern region. as if yoruba or hausa dey shout western or northern region.

oduasolja:
igbos should tell us why they were ready to kill niger delta people during the civil war.

another dumb yoruba man

nonsense, north coming to rescue indeed while the so called north keep killing people, tell me what choice does a federal civil servant from the south posted to the north have when their is crisis of course they have to go back whether they like it or not, same with a southerner that have purseued admission for several years and end up getting admission in the north cus he could not get in the south due to rubbish federal character, what options do they have , lets not even talk about corpers, police,bankers all from the south that were posted there. while they kill southerners in the north their children enjoy peace and comfort in the south.

Eko Ile:
This people with their every second, everyday and every week hate and bitterness sha.


What else do your people do apart from going through life hating and pointing fingers at everybody?

What about worrying about your towns and villages for once? Think and worry about development in your own communities, think about jobs, education, transportation and health care in your own communities.


You can never progress if all you do is spend all your time hating and worrying about other people who don;t even give a shitttt about your and your daily pettiness.


You people are so so sorry sha,

shut up you low life, when the most harworking and successful people are talking low lifes like you should not open your stinking mouth. make your self more usefull by helping to eradicate poverty in your area rather than trying to interrupt superior minds

at this period where southerners and christians are killed in the north while the northern leaders are calling for more oil revenue no person even a mad man from the SE and SS will accept a president from that region.

political suicide, ,fashola may be good but the southeast will not watch another yoruba man become preisident while the so called north will not watch another yoruba man become president again unless the alliance will produce a northern president with fashola as deputy thereby repeating the same mistake they made last year and they sure wont win, anyway lets watch and see its obvious the next election might be the final straw to ending this nation . btw if yorubas fail again the only position a yorubaman will occupy will be cheif security officer in aso rock. the best deal for presidency will be a SE president with a sw or MB vice anyother thing will be epic fail. cus no southerner or christian after all the massacre will be crazy enough to vote NE,NW candidate.

jason123:
Who D mess IS DOKUBO? Let him go and tell the average usen man to join biafra if he will not be shot. The ND is more complex than u think. Do not be deceived. What is going on now is political unity. It was this same political unity that made GEJ president. Once a group is left out of this unity it will collapse like a pack of cards,mark my words. Today the mb is with the south, only God knows where they will be tomorrow; same with the sw. Dokubo is a kid. He is hungry n lacks realism. He is just a thug, believe it or not. This is why people do not take him serious, except of course, d dreams.

Btw, d so called asari is a Tribalist n a well known itsekiri hater. Is he the one to talk for the whole nd? Guy, u no serious.

Later. Goodnight

your very dumb , every igbo group both in south east and south south will forge their own destiny the rest can do whatever they want. btw without the igbo it is impossible for itshekiri and ijaw to be in the same country infact thank your God for igbos of niger delta they are the only one holding this so called niger delta together when they leave it will colapse of course the ibibios and efik wont hesitate to joing igbos.aturu

some people will rather have villages ,towns and cities wiped out than come out to renegociate nigeria or break up smh.

[quote author=Manny_01 link=topic=885295.msg10337543#msg10337543 date=1330997999]Also I stand by what I said: I'm a delta-Igbo- edo mixed person.

Delta- Igbo does not necessary mean anioma.[/quote]epic fail , even a toddler will see this and laugh in igbo. typical of you alhjharem first you tried to be itshekiri and got busted.

BlackPikiN:
Onyocha=Alh Harem!
The guy na real thief.

Wake up guy, no dey f.o.o.l yourself before you become a "hasbeen!"
