Bill Clinton, George Bush To Speak In Toronto May 29
April 21, 2009 3:24 p.m. EST


--- Advertisment --- 
AHN Staff
Toronto, Ontario, Canada (AHN) - After U.S. President Barack Obama's recent visit to Canada, two past American presidents will appear together next month at the Metro Toronto Convention Center for a two-hour moderated discussion.

Slated to appear on May 29 are former U.S. Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, according to Globe and Mail. The two, both 63, are considered the only two presidents from the Baby Boom generation raised up during an era of ideological battles over the Vietnam War, the Generation Gap and other cultural values initiated in the 1960s. The 47-year old Obama, by legal definition, is still a Baby Boomer, but is seen by many Americans as part of the next generation characterized by fast advances in information technology.


However, a check with the calendar of the Metro Toronto Convention Center's Website showed the event is not yet officially listed in the center's events, although there is no booking on May 29.

Now to find how much would nigeria without would be making from both oil and non oil . non oil should be about 10 billion ,

so 38 + 11 bilion is $49 billion

so the north if this bill goes thru would control $49 billion. This is why the northern senate and house of member need to approve the bill.

the other time you claim to be from imo state. So na your grand mama be yoruba.


Well the yoruba would say, ti o ba ni di Obirin oki je ikomolu. and oro po ni inu iwe kobo. why dont your igbo take $38 billions. why. se ko se pe o ni di. ko se oro internet. ki ni ti more ko se sa ni ori internet. oro aroda ni. ibi ti ora wa oni di ti mo se se. tapa bu si benin republic ora po ni pe fun wa.  soludo ko gbo do pada.

New map.

Afukwu aka ibina aka asha aka jurus. I know you are the same person.


When you , i assume you are the moderator of nairaland.

This is what you do to make people think they cant spell. And you do it to me too. see picture below. he enter a word and ask the system to manipulate the word. when a person makes a post. Here is a copy of the screen shoot from the same software nairaland is using. 419,

see the draw to scale of the map.

I too do not want to be part of your childish imaginary games. but still , why I you scare to answer my question, since greed for oil money is the reason you are supporting your tribe man.

Here is $38 billion a year let your people take it.

Look if this bill pass in the national assembly Afaukwu . you people are going to be rich. And i am sorry. I can tell you. In republic of benin, you would not hear of MEND again.

here is $38 billion a year let our people go. take the oil . we want to join our brothers in benin republic.

corruption is based on ethnics loyalty. It is impossible to fight in Nigeria. Expect they remove the yoruba, edo, delta and bayelsa into Benin republic. This way, tribalism would fall.

It is impossible to fight because people like Afaukwu , would never see corruption in his tribal man. One of the problem why people do not support Nuru ribadu is , he too was bias he his job. If you do the statistics when Nuru Ribadu was in the EFCC . most people arrested 90% where from the south. While Nigeria capital is in abuja. And 70% of the people running the govt since 1960 have been northerner.
And this northerner were knew to be corrupt. Nuru ribadu never went after his people expect when ever there was outcry by other ethnics group.

When we remove the yoruba, edo, delta and bayelsa from nigeria. We create a situation were the north become a majority and they can now deal with themself. the remain portion of nigeria in the south, would be about the size of borno state. Most people would now be northerner.

And I tell you this in the 60's corruption was difficult under northerner region because it was hard to use ethnics sentiment as away of getting out of corrupt situation. Let the north and igbo have 70% of nigeria oil.

Afaukwu come back here and answer my question before i leave.

Afaukwu  answer my question , I am not interested in your childish game. will your people take 70% of the oil and leave the Ijaw people alone for God sake. You know they do not have to die all because of oil.

Look we Yoruba, edo, delta, bayelsa will relocate to Republic of Benin for you people to have the oil. So Afaukwu  speak as an igboman are you people taken the $38 billion ayear.  this is what the igbos would be part of if you agree to remove the Yoruba, edo, delta and bayelsa state into the republic of Benin.

Are you talking it. we already sent a bill to the house of assembly.

Afaukwu , i think you should come and marry me. Since you dream of me.?

Come to think of it, why are you a tribe bigot.?
2. When we offer you 70% of nigeria oil why dont you people take and leave us alone. take it, you do not have to kill all the ijaw for the oil.

You people should take it. I do not understand, why dont you want to take. Afaukwu is your people going to take the 70% of the oil and leave the ijaw people alone ? it is $38 billion . do the maths yourself.

We want to leave and have peace.

nice one

nice one

nice one

the price of oil is $60 per barrel, if there is peace. we can produce 2,500,000 barrel



While the north and igbos would have 1,750,000 barrel a day.

If we find out how much we make with the 70% per year. the calculation is.


60 x 1,750,000 x 365 days = 38,325,000,000 == $ 38 billion a year.



let the north and igbos have the 70% of the oil.

let the north and igbos have the 70% of the oil.

The solution may be difficult to here for some people. But i say it again. Let the north have the 70% oil with the igbos. It is easy. Look it is better to be alive than death.

If you look at the map. According to Nigeria ministry of finace. 70% is on the coast with river, akwa ibom, imo, abia state. Ijaw who are in MEND live in mostly bayelsa state. Let remove the Yoruba, edo, delta and bayelsa into Benin republic.

If we move the ijaw into benin republic most of the 70% would go to the north and igbos.

If we do that 70% of the oil would be free from attack. And we would not have problem .

Look even with the 30% if well manage. we would do very very well. At the moment. they are not give getting 30% and 30% is better than the close to zero % you are getting.

It is not worst killing people over nothing. Go and sit down and do the calculation the north most of the oil now. Why get killed over zero% ,

let take the 30% and let the north and igbos have the 70% of the oil.

let take the 30% and let the north and igbos have the 70% of the oil.

Afaukwu , then explain to me , why igbo have not been president for last 43 years. And for us it is not about tribalism, it about unification. And we are only helping you igbos. do you want to wait for 83 years before an igboman becomes president. ?

The states that yar adua need to win to remain president is on this map. it would be a easy way, with no international pressure on him. even if the remain part of the south , do not vote for him.  Yar adua would still be president.


Note the remain part of the south is about the size of borno state.  And the north would see have 70% of the oil. which is important and access to the see.

you can see from this picture igbos are ready to join the north , igbo senators and northerners.

IF this happen, what state would yar adua win to remain president ?

Ooni visits Republic of Benin



Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade Olubuse
II (second left) with Dr. Thomas Boni Yayi,
President of the Benin Republic, at a reception
organised for Southwest Traditional Rulers,
during a visit to the Republic of BeninTunde Oyekola, in this piece, reports the historic visit of the Ooni of Ife, His Royal Majesty, Oba Okunade Sijuwade Olubuse II with his entourage to the Republic of Benin.

His Royal Majesty, Oba Okunade Sijuwade Olubuse II, the Ooni of Ife, recently led about fifty traditional rulers from the SouthWest on a five-day visit to the Republic of Benin, Nigeria’s neighbour in the West Africa sub-region.

The visit of the Ooni with the traditional rulers and chiefs, is expected to promote cultural link and unity among traditional rulers in West African countries, some of who shared cultural link and origin.

According to Oba Aderemi Adedapo, the Olojudo Alayemore of Ido-Osun, who is the Chairman, Protocol, Public Relation, Culture and Tourism Committee of the Osun State Council of Obas, the visit of the Ooni and the Yoruba traditional rulers to the Republic of Benin was to promote cultural lineage and peace in West–Africa.

Eminent traditional rulers on the entourage of the Ooni were Oore of Otun-Ekiti, Obalufon Alayemore of Efon Alaaye, Owa Ooye of Okemesi, Elemure of Emure-Ekiti, Timi of Ede, Aloko of Iloko – Ijesa, Olufon of Ifon, Olobu of Ilobu, Aragbiji of Iragbiji, Olowu of Owu, Olumoro of Moro, Akesin of Ora, Asaoni of Ora, Olojo of Ojo and Onisan of Isan-Ekiti.

Others were Owamiran of Esa-Oke, Olororuwo of Ororuwo, Olufi of Gbongan, Elerin of Erin, Oluwo of Iwo-Oke, Adimula of Ifewara, Salu of Edunabon and Olukoyi of Ikoyi – Ile.

Also in the entourage were Yeyeluwa, Olori Morisola Sijuwade, Erelu Abiola Dosumu – Fernadez, Chief Abiola Ogundokun, Professor Muhib Opeloye, Osun State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Engineer Tunji Obawole and Chief Gbenga Owolabi, Chairman of Ife Central and Ife – East Local Government Councils respectively.

The entourage also comprised scholars, historians and journalists from both print and electronic media. The Ooni and other traditional rulers, were at Seme, a border town between Nigeria and the Republic of Benin, given a warm reception by Dr. Thomas Boni Yayi, the President of the Republic of Benin, represented by Professor Moufoutau Laleye, the Ambassador of Benin Republic to Nigeria and other prominent rulers comprising Alaketu of Ketu, Onisabe of Sabe, Onikoyi of Ajase, Ajahute Dode of Alada, the king of Abomey and a host of others.

The five-day visit took the traditional rulers to Cotonou, Ajase/Porto-Novo, Ouidah, (a former slave camp) Alada, Abomey, Sabe and Ketu.

Three of the seven sons of Oduduwa, the progenitor of the Yoruba race, are residents in Benin Republic. They are Alaketu of Ketu who was the first born, Onipopo of Popo and Onisabe of Sabe.

The President of Benin Republic, Dr. Thomas Boni Yayi, who organised a civic reception for Oba Sijuwade, said that the Ooni should feel more at home since the country is made up of Yoruba and other tribes.

Dr. Yayi, who said the Beninoise appreciated the coming of Oba Sijuwade to their country, stated that the visit of the royal father was an opportunity for him to show gratitude to the Ooni for the chieftaincy title of Adimula conferred an him on December 20, 2008 during his visit to the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile – Ife.

President Yayi, conferred the Grand Commander of Officer of Benin Republic on Oba Sijuwade while Yeyeluwa Morisola Sijuwade was conferred with Officer of the Order of Benin Republic.

In his response, Oba Sijuwade, who described the Award as a surprise, said that it was an honour done to the 246 million Yoruba inhabitants all over the world.

According to the Ooni, “We thank the President for the Award. We thank him for the honour done to the Yoruba Obas and the 246 million Yoruba inhabitants in Cuba, Argentina, Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago and other parts of the world.

“We are working towards promoting peace in West Africa. We are mobilising traditional rulers in Nigeria including Emirs and Obis as well as other countries in West Africa so that we can meet at least twice a year to promote culture and peace in the sub-region.”

The Ooni, who said that traditional rulers in West Africa were getting in touch with one another, stated that one of the rulers from Accra, Ghana had written a letter of proposed visit to Ile – Ife, claiming that his ancestors hailed from Yorubaland.

He continued, “Though the people of West Africa have many things in common, but we can still learn other things from one another when we meet and promote culture and peace in the sub – region”

Oba Sijuwade, however, appealed to President Yayi to improve on the conditions of living of traditional rulers in his country.
The Ooni, while noting the peace, discipline and cleanliness of the people of Benin Republic, also prayed for continued reign of supreme peace in the country.

Oba Sijuwade also visited Ajase/Porto Novo, Ouidah, Alada, Abomey, Sabe and Ketu where various demands such as the establishment of school for learning of Yoruba language and culture, mini-museum to replicate the Yoruba culture in the Yoruba-speaking areas of Benin Republic and building of hotels to promote tourism at border towns of Benin Republic.

The Ooni, who was received at Ouidah, a former slave camp which habours people from different Yoruba communities, by the Onikoyi of Ouidah, Oba Ademola Alabi, called on the Yoruba traditional rulers to come to the aid of the community in establishing a school where the Yoruba language and culture would be taught.

Oba Alabi, while lamenting that Yoruba Language was going into extinction in the town said, “Your Royal Majesty, let us forget that this town was a slave camp, all the people here, though they are from various Yoruba towns in Nigeria have forgotten their language and culture. They now speak the language of their former colonial masters and practise his culture to the extent that they do not understand their mother tongue any longer.”

While appealing to the Ooni to assist the community on the take-off of the school, Oba Onikoyi said that, “there are many dancing tricks in a cripple, but the legs to display the tricks are not available. Not that we are bereft of idea, but the money to execute it is not there.”

Oba Alabi said that all the 201 deities in Ile – Ife were also available in Ouidah while every town in the Yorubaland has representation in the community.
While receiving the Ooni at Sabe, the Onisabe of Sabe, Oba Akanmu Adetutu, solicited his support for the establishment of a mini-museum in the town to replicate the Yoruba culture and what was available in Ile – Ife.

The Oniketu of Ketu, Alaro Alade -Ife, who said that the visit of Ooni was the second, having made the first visit in 1983, reminded Oba Sijuwade of his earlier pledge to build a hotel in the town and also to assist the community in the fencing of the palace and renovation of cemetery for traditional rulers in West African countries.

On the establishment of a school where Yoruba Language and culture would be taught, Oba Sijuwade said that the establishment of the school had been approved, saying that the meeting of traditional rulers in the SouthWest, would work on modalities for its funding.

Oba Sijuwade said that the school which would be named after Oduduwa would serve as a centre of learning for Yoruba Language, culture and tradition, and would also be a research centre for the revival of Yoruba culture for those in the diaspora, who have lost touch with Yoruba culture

The Ooni described the Yoruba tradition as rich, noting that there is no aspect of human life that the culture does not touch.

On the renewed call for the establishment of a hotel, Oba Sijuwade set up a ten-member committee comprising professionals and academics to work on the proposal.

Professor Anthony Asiwaju, Historian, who was a member of the African Union (AU) Committee on integration described the visit of Oba Sijuwade and other traditional rulers to the Republic of Benin as the beginning of integration which all was implementing.

what problem did you have.

This bill his history when it pass. it would give many hope for nigeria.

look even the yoruba capital many years ago was in Benin republic. in ketu.

An ojukwu, oheneze, dora akunyuli and most igbos leader are ready to stay in nigeria with the north. so we Yorubas, edo, delta and bayelsa leaving would not result in a civil war.

A civil war is the reason why it is not possible for the south . but there are other reason. Some ethnics group in the southern niger benue of nigeria may not want to go with the igbos too. alot of southerner do not trust the igbos.


But it is possible for the Yorubas, edo, delta and bayelsa to leave. because majority of northerner would approve it to make themself majority and have 70% of the oil.
