[quote author=PROUD-IGBO]"Second South-South economic summit" ?

Pray, can anyone tell me what the first one achieved? Or is it just an excuse for another gathering to blow big grammer and postulate economic models and theories that will never see the light of day?

If a country can achieve greatness based on the number of workshops and summits held, Nigeria would be an eldorado by now.[/quote]I don't think this one is the usual workshop; it seems quite well researched and target driven.

bittyend: We're watching you!

GEJ under the SS camouflage bs can invite Satan if he wants - but we're watching.

My guy, go and rally round for a worthy economic summit like we are doing. Ok?
Don't let low self-esteem and jealousy make you watch us until your eyes pop out.

Comedy!

bittyend: Did the US and Europe need to go to war with Ghaddafi in Libya?? HELL NO!! They had everything they wanted in Libya.

You talk like a kid in pampers sometimes - read more. These people are greedy, and the scramble for Africa against China has begun. May be you should turn off CNN and BBC - and read more. They want the whole thing to themselves!!

Why can't you just mind your business?
See wet dreams about the SS o! lol!

bittyend: Warri is Itsekiri land, stop claiming what doesn't belong to your people.

I still don't get it, how can I be jealous of SS? Just watch who you guys invite to Nigeria - that's all.

We don't want a Libya in Nigeria, period. Other regions are inviting chinese, koreans, Brazilians and other countries with stable ecomonies for investments - but you clueless drunk fishermen from SS invited a bunch of gun-ho neo-cons from a country - where their economy is in the toilet.

Don't start what you can't finish. I naturally don't rate El-Rufai - but it seems there is an element of truth in everything he's posting on twitter.

Whatever.
Just carry your jealousy and insecurities away, bruv.

You are too grown for us to suckle.
You really do sound like a boy with his first two pubic hairs.

[quote author=Afro_Blue]No correction, just adding my 2 cent to the conversation. America, The U.K. and most of the EU countries are broke as a joke with some near default so this summit is not about what's beneficial for 9ja, its about exploiting resources and trying to block China.[/quote]Yes, they are broke and aside the US, there seems little hope for any of those countries. It is for this reason that the rich there are looking for new foreign pastures to invest in.
Their countries are done for, so things are happening at individual level. The UK is drastically cutting back their military costs at all levels and struggling for air at home, therefore it is a stretch to see them as a future threat to us in any way.

The US does not need to go to war for Nigerian oil, we are already shipping the stuff to them as our largest customer. I don't see any big deal aside from subterranean fears that there might be military alliances in the offing, with the possible breakaway of the SS.

bittyend: Sour grapes and Jealousy about what, though?

Lagos and Ogun states have over 2billion barrels of crude oil - why should I be jealous of a parasitic Urhobo/Isoko guy like you with not even a single drop of oil in your landlocked homeland. Without the Ilajes and Itsekiris - Delta State will be as poor as Jigawa. Come off your high horse, no one really cares about the oil over there.

You can't be inviting neo-cons to Nigeria because someone from your region is the President and expect everyone to turn a blind eye. You and I know that everywhere these people go, the destruction follows them there. I don't want to see bombs dropping on my beloved Nigeria on TV in future - that's all.

Funny guy.
If you weren't vegetating in peckam, you would have heard about places like Ughelli, Sapele, Warri etc. Look them up.

You really sound like a toddler, bro. Keep your jealousy, inferiority complex and your "2billion barrels of crude oil" to yourself, sir. We don't give a shiit.

torkaka: bunch of grown arz roaches arguing what they don't know.
ILAJES are yoruba! if you argue from now till eternity it wouldn't change that fact, same way silly arguements won't change blue from being blue

Whatever, they are an integral and valued part of the SS (unlike elsewhere).
We are talking about the SS Economic Summit here, if you have nothing to add, then waka comot.

bittyend: SS is part of Nigeria, and since Nigeria is still a country - I have every right to scrutinize what you guys are doing over there..

The same happened in Libya, and if people in Tripoli had scrutinized what was going on in Benghazi, Libya won't be the failed state it is today. SS is just a stone throw from SW - so you guys need to watch what you're bringing over around my way.

Scrutinising is different from sour grapes, jealousy and airs of desperation. Only babies need to be suckled, bro and you've now grown too large for a diet of breastmilk.

[quote author=Afro_Blue]And I voted for you to be board poster of the year and you politely tell me to F off.

I love this f-in board.

As far as money, 9ja has template the adventures in Iraq and Libya.[/quote]Where did I tell you to F off, bruv? You haven't offended me, so I wouldnt do that.
Thanks for the vote.

bittyend: Hotep brother!

You really have time on your hands trying to correct these pseudo-capitalists Nigerian coons. Most are educated but unconscious - and black consciousness is foreign to them because they think everything is black and white. If neo-cons who don't care about the negroes over there in America - why would think they would care about booty scratching bloody Africans in the creeks of Niger/Delta?

They think a Guiliani who built private prisons to lock up 1/4 of black men in New York gives two phucks about SS.

I wonder why SS matters cause some of you so much heartache?
We don't give a rats arse about Guiliani either; his money and connections are all that matter.

So if you think your fellow blacks are "coons" and "booty scratching bloody Africans in the creeks of Niger/Delta," then you have obvious issues with a low self-esteem. Thats one reason you can't seem to mind your business as well. Wetin konsain you wit SS wen de always make you mark present? Low self-esteem is a terrible thing, watch it, bro; many sufferers commit suicide or die of heart attack.

ACN people are beginning to look predictable as agbero's these days.

Sad shiit!

Chei! I'm sure Aregbesola feels like slapping somebody right now.

[quote author=ekt_bear]In general, I don't understand why you guys let yourself be baited so easily.

It would be as if someone said you have two mothers or something. Clearly a lie, something impossible. Would you get yourself in a seething rage debunking what is obviously wrong?

Don't let yourself get trolled, basically..[/quote]Its the other way round, bro. They came to bait SS people and got one square between the eyes.

Lol! Can anybody imagine Ilaje's in Delta state saying they wanna live elsewhere?
Una tink say dem like suffer or dem no get eye?

Funny shiit!

Abeg, let us discuss the SS economic summit jare!

bittyend: [size=21pt]SS summit with MULLEN equates to the militarilisation of the SS.[/size]

And how is that your problem? Are you from the SS or our sister SE?

bittyend: I pray Nigeria remains as one - but if it doesn't - we already know where Yoruba land starts and ends. And we need buffer zones everywhere. I know Yoruba strategists are already planning and the covert and overt operations have begun.

You are funny!
You have spent so much time decaying in peckam that you really have no clue about Delta state people.
Do you think people say, "Warri no de carry last" for nothing? Lol!

Onlytruth: Anyway, I believe I have conveyed the concerns of most Igbo.
Let's just wait and see how things shape.

I don't think those are anything to worry about really.
I really believe it will come good.

[size=21pt]Can we not just enjoy our SS economic summit?[/size]

bittyend:

Dayokanu was only being fair, and not trying to be a parasite like Igbos by laying claim to only the Ilajes. Yorubas can lay claim to Ilajes, Binis, Itsekiris and arguably Urhobos in SS if we wanted to - but that's a topic for another day.

Really?
I'm sure you are only 9 or 10 years old.

Onlytruth: Obviously BRACE started before SE economic summit. Hmm.
Well, I would have kept quiet if I trusted current Igbo leaders. But having said that, let's keep watching.
As a youth of that region, I don't want anyone to make mistakes that would cost both regions badly.
That's all.

In many ways, the SE is just getting vital structures and much needed rebuilding. Be patient, bro; it should all come good in a year or two.

dayokanu: Onlym0r0n.

Answer these questions

Is Delta state in the SS?

Do we have Ilajes in Delta State?

Are Ilajes not Yorubas?

M0r0n. No wonder you are eze Igbos, they choose the dumbest ppl for that title just like the dead Ike-eba wuruwuru

Please, Ilaje's are only related to the Yoruba's. They are not Yoruba, in fact Delta state would gladly collect all the Ilaje's in Ondo and Lagos; they are our kith and kin who are maltreated and live like animals in those states. Thank you.

Ilaje people do not live like this in Delta state:

Onlytruth: Beaf, but seriously, how do you explain the fact that there is no SE/SS economic forum (never mind political forum)? Isn't it self evident that any economic development talks in SS should involve SE because of territorial intertwine(of tribes)?
I have thought about it and all I get is that something is amiss somewhere. I don't know who to blame because I don't have insider information. All I know is that current SS has a huge chunk of Igboland. So whatever happens there must be supported by the Igbo in SE. I don't see it any other way, because I know that Igbo has no ill intents on the rest of SS groups. So, it is no longer safe to assume that things are happening, when nothing may be happening, and I know the end of it would not be good for either zones.

The SE held their own economic summit in September last year, but they did not invite the SS.
These things are mere regional groupings, I wouldn't read anything into it.

BRACE has been going on since 2009 it isn't something new. Such cooperation as you are thinking would ideally be between the organisers of the two groups. Indeed, there are too many developmental and cultural overlaps between SE/SS for there not to be future cooperation.

dayokanu: Onlylies you hae started again. Are you sure about the bolded?

Cross River does not produce oil, dummy.
If it was about oil, would be just Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Delta. Relative to these states, others produce negligibly. It is about deeper things like Onlytruth mentioned.

Now, run along; this space is meant for progress, not vultures and winshes.

Rewind...

Gbawe: Were Igboro. Ku ise !!! Accursed like Demdem would say.

Onlytruth: I am even beginning to think that it is not oil, after all Cross river is not an oil producing state. So, it has to be something else. Well, whatever it is will not survive without Igbo support.

It isn't about oil and of course, we need to be in good terms with our natural allies and neighbours.
Mutual respect and strong alliances are key.

afam4eva: South-south economic summit sounds rather laughable and Musiwa reallly caught it in his post.

The eastern part of the south-south should be cooperating with the south-east while the western south-south should look westwards. It's 1diotic that there's something called south-south economic summit even when this people have nothing in between then except for oil.

You might think divisively, but we are pressing ahead, so its best to live with it. The SS as a whole is in alliance with the SE and it will not be splintered.
As is obvious from the calibre of attendee's, the aspirations of the SS are very high indeed and a beacon for every region to aspire to.

I wonder what in your mind constitutes reason for ethnic groups to look beyond primitive boundaries and unite for their common good? We have both PDP and ACN states involved; there are Annang, Edo, Efik, Esan, Ibibio, Igbo, Ijaw, Isoko, Itsekiri, Urhobo etc etc. That, my friend is the true definition of unity; it is something the nation lacks to its developmental detriment. The SS has unity, so it will grow.

The explanation is just a lot of silly kids who have never been to Nigeria or have spent too little time in the place. It makes them think that the various ethnic groups are gangs to which they swear allegiance. 99% of the so-called bigots live abroad.

torkaka: @musiwa
are you on some cheap paw paw leaves?

Pawpaw leaf is not the problem o! E don graduate from dat one!
He has started sniffing gutter water.

The summit is being organized by the BRACED Commission, an acronym for Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Edo, and Delta states (the states in the oil-producing South-South region).

This is what is meant by "economic integration" and this is the quality of aspiration for the various regions to strive to. It is cross party, multhi-ethnic and dynamic.
The SS is really raising the bar.

Very nice indeed!

[size=14pt]PMS: Kaduna Refinery’s Output Hits 2.5m Per Day[/size]
04 Apr 2012
By Chika Amanze-Nwachuku

Kaduna Refinery

Hope that the era of massive fuel importation will soon be over appeared on the horizon Tuesday as the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) announced that production of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) at the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company, (KRPC) has hit a 10-year high of over 2.5 million litres per day.

Making the disclosure during a scheduled facility tour of the 32 year old plant, Group Executive Director (GED), Refining and Petrochemicals of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, (NNPC), Engr. Philip Chukwu, said the feat was achieved by dint of hard work of Committed KRPC management and engineers.

He said the achievement, which was recorded less than one month after the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison- Madueke convened a stakeholders’ forum in Abuja to x-ray the challenges confronting the nation’s three traditional refineries, was in line with the minister’s Refineries-Lights-on initiative, designed to keep the refineries in effective operation before the commencements of the scheduled comprehensive turn around maintenance.

``I am excited because something close to a miracle has happened to KRPC. We have seen the refinery increase production from very low level to what we have today which is about 30 million litres of PMS per day which is quite commendable and I hope that the staff will continue to perform the way they have done so far,’’ the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs at the NNPC, Dr. Levi Ajuonuma quoted the GED to have said.

Chukwu noted that the implementation of the Lights-on- scheme via quick intervention and speedy repairs has ensured that for the first time in 14 years, the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units, (FCCU), of the three refineries are in operation simultaneously.
Conducting the GED round the facility, Managing Director of KRPC, Engr. Bolanle Ayodele noted that the increase in PMS production was achieved after the successful re-streaming of the FCCU as well as the Crude Reform Unit, (CRU), of the
refinery.

“The FCCU was re-streamed on the 5th of February, 2012 and has operated steadily since then. The CRU which was shut down late November 2011 for re-tubing of the combined feed/reactor effluent heat exchangers was re-streamed on the 31st of March 2012”. He added: “With the units in operation, our Gasoline Production has improved from 1.5 million litres per day to above 2.5 million litres per day and still counting’’.

He acknowledged the GED’s support in this regard stating that the new production figure for PMS was attained after seven failed previous attempts at re-streaming the FCCU.

``Inspite of those difficulties encountered, the GED was always full of words of encouragement even when others were pessimistic and that went a long way in boosting the morale of KRPC staff,’’ Ayodele added. He called on the GED to help tackle some challenges facing the smooth running of the plant which include; lack of imported paraffinic crude for the Lubes plant, non-availability of reliable crude stock, inadequate funds releases to support operations among others.
