Akainzo:
Even after he has made his points clearly, you are still so short-sighted that the only things you are reaading is GEJ election was flawed!
Haba! Try and read beyond seeing the words 'GEJ', the politics of Naija goes beyond that man and your livelihood should only be rooted to defending GEJ. There is more to life than staying in an hotel all day, scanning the internet for anyhting GEJ you know.

Up CPC!
How is Buhari's relationship with youth corpers these days?

sheyguy:
Oga beaf, how does Gej bullying Chevron on behalf of an Itsekiri community changes what is right or wrong? Chevron's property remains Chevron's property. In the Chevron case, i was actually expecting Gej and our Govt to offer to buy Chevron's excess energy in order to encourage them into building more capacity to support our national grid.
But none of the above justifies u tribalizing issues here. Ur divide and Conquer won't work here because the Itsekiri have been fought unjustly over their land by every sizable ethnic group around them.

Lol! You hypocrites have a way of only showing love where awuf oil is concerned. Thank God we see through you, behind our backs you snigger and call us kobokobo.
Awuf induced love no be love e!

Please let us talk about how those oil wells were "obtained." The man who was pressured has spoken and it sounds like theft.

sheyguy:
i asked about Ore because they av some natural resource that is worth being annexed and can be annexed too.
Akoko Edo people i know all bear deep Yoruba names and rep Yoruba. What i am saying is every ethnic group shld deptermine its own destiny, instead of all these disgraceful fighting

I've never heard anything so daft. There are many Nigerians bearing English names, does that make them British? There are also many Ondo state people with Edo/Afemai names, does that make them Edo or Afemai?

Daft.

^
If you are for resource control, its nice to hear.

sheyguy:
Is Ore also Edo state land. What about places like Akoko Edo L.G.A. Where they are practically Yorubas. I think it is time we use a referendum or something like that so the people can choose where they want to be. Our democracy shld permit such. Let the states do some wooing too.

Ore is already in Ondo state, so I don't know what you are yarning. Also, Akoko Edo people are Afemai.
There is nothing worse than this shoemakers level of ignorance that makes some of you go around claiming others who couldn't give a rats arse, cos they arleady have their own ethnic group which they are comfortable with.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afemai

Now, lets talk about what Mr Omoigui said about the hijacked oil wells.

Lol! The same fools that were screaming blue murder about GEJ telling Chevron to give an Itsekiri community electricity are now trying on "the Itsekiri are awa pipo" shiit again, because oil wells are being discussed!

In everything, they bring in ethnicity!
When did ethnic groups decide which state gets oil wells? Abeg, we are gonna collect our property.

Tif and longthroat na di same tin!

Anyways, enjoy the results of "awa pipo" voting to exit a suffocating embrace. You will note that "awa pipo," the Itsekiri's voted under Warri:

[quote author=Kilode?! link=topic=879329.msg10269305#msg10269305 date=1330146760]Oshiomhole is definitely speaking about Oil wells he intends to get back from Delta State, not Ondo.

So much ado about oil sef

Anyway the Ondo Delta Oil issue is largely between Ilaje and itshekiri people, I expect them to always find a solution, it's the bloodsucking FG I'm worried about.[/quote]When did ethnic groups begin to decide which states own oil wells? Anyways, Oshiomole is governor of Edo state, not Delta and Edo states problem like Delta's is the wuru-wuru allocation of their oil to Ondo state under Obj.

Dude, forget about GEJ's election and make your point. If you can't, then you would actually be perceived to have no point outside the need to express bitterness. Seen?

Up ACN!

alj harem:
Abeg beaf there is more to a country than Oil o !!!!!

Like what? Your parasitism, or your being a lazy, begging, awuf luv'n fuckwit?

koruji:
It is only you that will argue from this perspective about my reference to GEJ's election.

If everybody knew the problem "of child votes and accompanying violence in the core-North", why is the president hyping his preparation for an election without police in 2015, when the same thing that happened in 2011 is repeating itself, and perhaps on a grander scale in subsequent elections.

What about down south where GEJ got 90-99 percent of the votes in many states? Didn't a similar thing happen in the recent Bayelsa gov. election. GEJ himself acknowledged the aparthy of voters, yet results came out showing a 72% turnout; 89% of of who voted for PDP.

Hmm! It really does seem that I'm the only arguing from the persperctive of GEJ's election (especially with the bolded). LOLZZZ!!!!
Try to sound fairer so you can come across as being rational. Rather than making a case about what is wrong with core-Northern elections, you seem to be bitter against GEJ and launching an incoherent side-swipe against him.

Sound fairer. And yes, I do believe that ACN would have won the Sokoto election (Bayelsa too), if not for "rigging." Please don't let that upset you.

alj harem:
How u talk know . You no be PDP man again ? So now you agree with Oshomole

Are you saying you have nothing outside the contents of your greasy arse to contribute?
A grown man so stup!d its a mystery!

koruji:
Before you declare this call foolish could you at least confirm that the constitution was amended to actually remove electricity from the exclusive list as part of the "go-ahead".

Otherwise, what he is alluding to is the security of state investments and property ownership in electricity generation.

GEJ's government and his "go-ahead" would not last forever, and he is not the constitution. The next government might declare all of the preceeding "go-aheads" null and void constitutionally with devastating consequences.

Ok, perhaps I was hasty. However, the genie is out of the bottle and so long as there will be a conducive govt in place for the next three and a half years, there is no way a future FG can come and make crazy claims. It will be like a person suffering from kwashiokor boasting about food; the FG has been a serial failure in power generation due to the "Nigerian factor;" it has no busines generating power and over the years has failed in every business it laid its hand on.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=879329.msg10269168#msg10269168 date=1330140959]You seem to be misunderstanding two things.

1. Bendel is not Edo. So that there was some sort of dispute between Ondo and Bendel does not mean that there is one between Ondo and Edo.
2. Almost all of Ondo's oil come from a single LGA. Ilaje. Ilaje is not contiguous with Edo. So how can there be a dispute over oil wells between Ondo and Edo?

As I said, it seems more likely that their comments were directed at Delta. . .[/quote]Ok, my bad. I did mention that Delta state needs to get back its oil wells from Ondo though (first comment on the thread).

The fact that most of the oil is in Ilaje areas does not foreclose the existence of oil wells along disputed border areas between Edo and Ondo. It is such wells that Oshiomole is talking about.

^
Nah, you ain't talking about PDP or ACN, you just mistakenly mentioned GEJ's election in your unfortunate opening salvo.
But why are you so upset that I believe ACN would have won the election in Sokoto if it wasn't "rigged?" LOLZZZZZ!!!!

Learn to sound fairer next time. Everybody knows the problems of child votes and accompanying violence in the core-North.

This is quite foolish.
States have been given the go-ahead to generate power. Maybe Rotimi Agunsoye has been smoking stuff.

Yeah, ACN would have won the Sokoto election, but it was "rigged."

Crap.

^
This is the great thing about NL. You can meet all sorts of "clever" people, even those who would argue about boundaries with the very man that drew the final map.
Anyway's, if Edo doesn't share boundaries with Ondo then maybe becomerich has finally succeeded in moving Ondo out of Nigeria.

Abeg, who knows where Ondo state is nowadays?

@moderattor and PROUD-IGBO
It is better to assume that the police are all boko haram and we have no police force. Even the FG seems to be moving with that assumption; these days all arrests and detention are done by the army and SSS.

Cos we know everything happening in our backyard.

In 1984, as the Director- General of the Federal Survey, following a re-organization in the Federal Ministry of Works, I initiated the establishment  of National Boundary Commission when I was told that Cameroun had established its National Boundary Commission because of the sensitive nature of the issue. The Vice President was made  the Chairman because of the sensitive nature.

In 1977, the Obasanjo administration set up the Justice Mamman Nasir Boundary Commission and, following its report, the boundaries of some  states were changed. Part of Western Ijaw went to Rivers State, part of Bendel went to Ondo; part of Rivers went to Cross Rivers and part of Imo went to Rivers.

Because of this, some oil wells changed hands. There was an oil well in Rivers very close to Imo and I was asked to demarcate where the oil well was actually located. After the exercise, it was found that the oil well was in Rivers.

Moreover, because parts of Bendel had gone to Ondo, there were five oil wells very close to the boundary. Initially, the Ondo people wanted the royalty to be shared 50-50 because they were very close to the boundary between both states.

In 1981, a Yoruba man, who was Director of Survey, wrote to the Ministry of Finance on the issue and, after charting, it was found that the oil wells were in Bendel State. He wrote to the Ministry of Finance that the Yoruba would not take this.

He went to Lagos, met with the Director of Survey and reported that a Bini man was behind the charting. Then my Director said no, he charted it. In 1984, Bamidele Otiko became the military governor of Ondo State and came to Lagos to meet my Director. At the meeting, my Director told Otiko  he was responsible for the charting.

When Chief Olu – Falae became the Secretary to the Federal Government, he directed me to write a letter that pending the resolution of the Ondo – Bendel boundary adjustment issue, they should be sharing the royalty 50 – 50. I declined to write the letter.

They then posted one Ondo man  to be the permanent secretary. He was reported to have said he was posted there to do their bidding and they would call him an outcast if he did not. After reading the file, he said I should do something, on the issue and I said, ‘No, you  are the permanent secretary, draft the letter and sign it.

He refused. The then Minister of Works, Alhaji Abubakar Umar, was a witness to all these. Later some people did  a letter purportedly written by me. When Mamman Kantagora became the Works Minister, he  told me that the Armed Forces Ruling Council (AFRC) had retired me.

That was in 1988. The following week, the  then Ondo governor  called a press conference and told the media  that I forged the  map of Ondo – Bendel States to remove oil wells from Ondo to Bendel. The newspapers  that published the story were  sued for libel and I made them to write apology letters.

Since I was retired, they have not carried out any survey on the Ondo – Bendel boundary issue.

There is some equally explosive stuff on Bakassi in that article from the same man.

You must be an id!ot.
Articles were posted here on NL at the time the spill occured to which only a few of us responded and hate filled parasitic mongrels like you avoided.

This promises to be interesting for Ondo state.
Delta state too, should be fighting for the return of its oil wells from Ondo.

[size=14pt]Get our oil wells back, Oshiomhole tells new Edo NDDC Rep[/size]
On February 24, 2012 · In News
10:39 pm

By SIMON EBEGBULEM
GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomhole of Edo state has assured the State’s new Commissioner on the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) of Government’s support to ensure that oil wells wrongly ceded to other states are returned to the state.

Speaking on Friday during a visit of the newly appointed Edo State representative on the Board of the NDDC, Mr Henry Okhuarobo, Governor Oshiomhole however frowned at the quality of jobs in the state.

Governor Oshiomhole said, “we do not have to go cap in hand begging for what is our entitlement. The NDDC should ensure that money appropriated for the oil producing communities is spent for the region judiciously and road projects should have drainages on both sides” he noted.

According to him, funds appropriated in the name of the people of the Niger Delta region are stolen and oil wells in Edo state are credited to other states.

He advised the new management of the NDDC to address the mistakes of the previous board, by not embarking on projects that will not affect the lives of the people of oil producing communities.

“All projects should be properly executed taking into account designs. If the conditions of the Niger Delta people must change, we need policies that will torch the lives of the people. The NDDC should take erosion control as a challenge. Do not worship any godfather by constructing a road to their house, but do it because it is an oil producing community,” he added.

The Governor said he is happy that in Edo State today, the government has made a statement on the quality of roads that should be constructed and the people will no longer accept substandard roads, without drainage, adding that, “we have raised the level of awareness for the people to insist on the delivery of quality projects”.

The newly appointed representative of Edo State on the Board of the NDDC, Barr. Henry Okhuarobo thanked the governor for nominating him for the appointment, and assured that he will ensure that the projects to be executed must be properly designed with side drains.

“After accessing what has been done by your administration in the state, I found out that you have set a standard for NDDC projects. It is now a challenge for us to do what you are doing with schools, roads, health system, water and solar borehole. In road construction in particular we will follow your standard,” he noted.

He disclosed that the NDDC will embark as an intervention agency to remedy roads which the state government is not working on, adding, “we will liaise with your officials to know where they are not working to avoid duplication”.

Barr. Okhuarobo appealed to the governor to use his good will to prevail on the federal government to address the issue of the state’s oil wells that are being credited to other states.

[size=14pt]Bomb attack: Gombe govt imposes curfew[/size]

Gombe – Gombe government has imposed a 24- hour curfew on Gombe metropolis following an attack on Gombe Police Divisional headquarters on Friday night by some unknown persons.

Mr Habu Dawaki, State Commissioner for Information, who announced the curfew, said it was indefinite.

He, therefore, called on the people of the state to be law-abiding as the measure was taken to safeguard lives and property.

The attackers used explosives to bomb the station, followed by sporadic gun-shots.

The police authorities have yet to comment on the incident, which occurred at about 7.30 pm. (NAN)

[size=14pt]Prison, police station under gun, bomb attack in Gombe[/size]
On February 24, 2012 · In News
11:41 pm

KANO (AFP) – Gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram Islamists Friday launched simultaneous gun and bomb attacks on a prison and a police station in the city of Gombe, a jail guard and a resident said.

The attackers staged what residents said appeared to be coordinated attacks on a main prison where some Boko Haram members are believed to be held, and on a nearby police station.

“We are under siege. A large number of gunmen have encircled the prison, shooting and detonating explosives. It is clear they are Boko Haram,” a prison warden told AFP from inside the central prison in Gombe city.

A resident, Ibrahim Yau, said gunshots and explosions rang across the city for over an hour.

“There has been shooting and bomb attacks at the district police station in the centre of the city, and also the central prison,” he said.

The prison overlooks the police station and both are situated near the palace of the tradition Muslim leader, the emir, in downtown Gombe city, the capital of a state that goes by the same name.

[size=14pt]Where are the PHP design docs or any standards for that matter?[/size]

Da infamous:
hmmmmm cant you give people a chance even thou our SE/SS had a bitter past but i know we have seen clear now,we will always gonna be neighbors no matter what and we will trade together and mix together more as we are doing now even thou not all SS will be included some midwesterners want to join  their SW brothers, everyone will have their own neutral grounds SS will be alright that is like cutting off another 80 million mouths that feed from our oil; so their should by enough to build up the whole eastern region.

Thats a political fairytale with origins in the SW.
The old Midwest (where I come from) might prefer to be its owns country, but never part of the SW. If all cards are played right for the creation of an equitable society, then it would be more attractive to be part of a bigger country than the old Midwest.

pazienza:
It's mainly the naive igbo youths that usually shout SE/SS,the elders don't,they have seen  how that partnership work,even uwazuruike is now talking of an igbo country without the minorities,the earlier we start thinking of an igbo only country,the better for us.

My brother, where have the elders led you? We have had Okotie-Eboh and you have Arthur Nzeribe. Instead of Ekweme's, we have had Jim Nwobodo's; there are a myriad others who fought against your aspirations (both in the war and after) and helped create this wretched situation. The SS has had the very same problem too. So what elders are you talking about?

I would rather look to the present. Would you ever have believed that Ojukwu would be buried with full national honours, or that an Igbo man would ever head the army? Well, these things have happened and they have happened at great cost to GEJ (you can evidence some of that flak right here on NL). It is much easier to ally with the powers that be and sell out like govt top dogs from either of our regions before now have done (except Ekweme); but what is occurring today is the opposite, we are seeing natural alliances among brothers and family instead. That should tell you that the efforts are genuine.

There is only one way to go to get justice is Nigeria, and it is by becoming politically active. There is no sense in becoming politically active if one cannot win, and we can only win if we form alliances across the land to become the political juggernaut that siezes and holds power. The Fulani (a minority group) held Nigeria by the jugular for close to 40 years of our 51 as an independent country. They did it through alliances, so why can't we, especially as we have been downtrodden and so ruthlessy exploited? It is also noteworthy that the Fulani domination failed, because they decided to quarrel with their neighbours whom they look down on; that lesson, my brother is a political gem.

Its time to win, bruv.
