The government needs to do more for the South East, I totally agree. They also need to embark on programs that foster national unity...

The only wrong thing he said was the seaport; there is no sea or ocean in the south east to begin with, so where do they locate it in the region since it's landlocked? Except for Lagos & the Niger delta, locating a seaport anywhere else is a complete trash idea.

What the SE needs is a good rail network and dry ports to transport cargo from and to various parts of Nigeria.

Abia state is on the IMO river which is less than 20 miles from the ocean. A proper international seaport can be sighted there.

Dude I bought some of the building materials for one of my houses in my village was a yoruba guy, spoke flawless igbo with local dialect. When my boys gave the account no, I had to call back to reconfirm from the guy whether or not this is his name and acc number. I said but the account is yoruba guy. and The guy was like Shey omo yoruba ni? I said mogbe. Them plenty for my village, doing all kinds of contruction work. Because people are building in my place like nigerian problem no consign them, Mansion upon Mansion, ndigbo esika!

lol only seventy something women since 1970. The guy is a good guy sha. Us wey dey count over 400 and something women, from over 40 countries where we go talk. half of them, I didnt know their names before during or after sex. No these were prostitues, I was living in high traffic tourist zones, too much aggresive Hot tourist. And before you judge me, i rejected alot of women. ALOT ALOT, otherwise I would be almost double that. When we are in Nigeria, the hotel receptionist gives our number to girls who bother us. We reject alot but there certain women that cannot be rejected even when you that your life might be at risk.

Na only God dey help us oh. To be big man is not easy.

The biggest beneficiaries of one Nigeria won't let that happen. To be clear, the biggest beneficiaries are the South West and Islamic North.

In the north, people are mostly agrarians. So, they don't directly benefit from the system. However, the the wealthy among them largely depend on politics and government appointments to get by. That's why they control a significant percentage of Niger Delta oil wells.

For the South West, Nigeria has made Lagos State one of the biggest economies in Africa. Now, the growth of Lagos is spilling over into neighbouring states, which is a win for the South West. When I saw Sunday Igboho calling for Oduduwa Republic, I just told myself that this one knows nothing.

Then, the Niger Delta states are the biggest losers. They feed the entire country and get nothing in return. If the resources of oil producing regions are left for them alone, they will be as rich as Qatar if properly managed. Oil-producing states are the reason Nigeria cannot be restructured because the fear is that they will be more powerful than the centre and that may lead to secession.

As for the South East, what the region has experienced is mostly being cut off from the centre and absence of federal presence. However, the region has also benefited from petrodollars. Although South East states have oil deposit, not as much as SS states. So, technically, the SE benefits from free money. To survive, Igbos are turning to education, sports, business/trades and travels. As for travel for greener pastures, that's why there's hardly anywhere you don't see an Igbo man.

Free money? Funny Guy, modify your post! 87% of the oil that is drilled in igboland is given to the Nigerian state and a paltry 13% is given back to my people, Numerous licences by indigenous and even international companies to drill oil in the south east are refused. A much lesser percentage is given back for gas, in the fiscal year of 2022, imo state got almost 4 Billion as its share of the 13 percent last year, almost 2 billion for Abia and almost 5 billion for Anambra all of this in one yearly quarter. That means the total money imo state brought per quarter is 32 Billion per year is 128 Billion, For Anambra its 40 Billion per quarter or 160 billion per year, Abia is 16 billion per quarter 64 Billion per year. The money from gas is basically unaccounted for, all of these does not include money drilled from igbo communities in the SS.

We would prefer to rather pay 13 percent or less to nigeria, and negotiate oil contracts and who gets to drill the oil or gas by ourselves, Just like zamfara does for its gold.

From the above imo state generates 128 Billion yearly from oil alone but gets 46 Billion from Federal Allocation, Anambra only 56Billion from FG . While Oyo state gives nothing but gets 57 Billion. Who are you saying is receiving free money?

In 2011 I and friend from an igbo speaking part of the SS Fought really hard to get licence for either ore mining on a site we had contracts to in the SE and/or licence for a gas refinery, we had the backing of a Major Asian bank with yearly revolving Bank Guarantees of over $2mil, then chop our money tire. Jonathan was president nobody was willing to grant those licences. Pile up of licences to drill oil or gas were sitting duck back then, if the spot is somewhere on the boundary between the SE and Other zones its easily annexed and then the license is granted. Its either there are major vested interest in SE who are fighting tooth and nail to keep small players at bay or the nigerian state doesnt want to hear that SE is a major oil and gas player.

Now you know.

As I went to buy paracetamol at the chemist which cost two hundred naira,my attention was caught by the price of condom and I could not hesitate but snap it.

Condoms are now being sold at 2500, 5000 and 7000 naira a pack.

I was like alot of guys will go raw if they are not able to afford it.

Having sex in Nigeria is now very expensive especially for promisquos men.
The breakdown of expenses include condom 3,000,hotel 20,000,olosho fee 50,000,food and drinks 10,000 naira.Total 93,000 naira .
Promisquos men will learn and they will learn the hard way.

The one thing I miss about being in nigeria is endless availability of High Value extremely cheap sex. Since i like to see what I am about to consume I dont go for girls online, neither do I go to LovePeddler houses where truck drivers go to and the girls are counting 30 plus men a day each. I dont use my drivers to go the club, I take taxi thats usually about 50 euros, entry fee to the club 25 euros, buy drink for myself 10 euros, drink for olosho 20 euros. They are usually big wasted south Americans, I negotiate their rate to down to 250 per night, or pay 400 to go with her and bestie. The cheapest hotel in my city at counter is about 170 euros, condoms drinks breakfast additional 70 euros, Taxi to go back home another 50, That is almost 700 euros for a simple night. The same scenario when Im in south Asia normally cost me about 170 euros.

The last babe I knacked when last I was in abuja, she asked for 60k , She wasnt even a prostitute sef, hotel was a very beautiful hotel for 27000. when the girl was leaving I gave her 30k additional as transport We couldnt finish the large size of bbq fish and potato saladand drinks i ordered for 12000. U guys in Nigeria are in cheap toto heaven.

My toto night out normally costs me over 1 million naira for the same thing I pay for 120k to get in Abuja.

That stupid boy that is a commisioner. Destroying all those properties is NOT the only option to fixing part ways for water drainage. Since the infaction has been grossly made and the destruction you are about to carry on will out way any positives how about you simply deepen the current drains and make new drainage and bill the current owners of buildings that have been built on the old drainage path. You have made enough point by the ones you have already destroyed, destroying thousands of house more is completely stupid.

The heart of your typical nigerian is very dark and wicked, rather that think of other ways to solve his only thoughts is destruction.

Seconded, whats the point of the election when you know its been fully rigged. The thing is these fxckers will still conduct the election in your absence and declare the results. And if you want to protest the nigerian military machine comprised of all nigerian tribes will be used to defend their evil acts. There is no easy way out Bro Melaye,

Yes, top 4 richest has two yorubas and two fulanis, But top 10 has 5 people of Igbo extraction.

Niger Delta oil is what your parasitic states depend solely on coupled with VAT earnings from Lagos, Delta and PH.

From the above imo state generates 128 Billion yearly from oil alone but gets 46 Billion from Federal Allocation, Anambra only 56Billion from FG . While Oyo state gives nothing but gets 57 Billion. Who are you calling a parasite?

Now name your state, I am very sure that ur definitely from a cursed Barren place and have the mouth to call igbo people parasites...May God continue to punxsh you! Ekwensu!


Hopefully this nonsense from Reno doesnt get to Front page and stir up tribalism. But since if it does, since you guys like posting stats from statisense, before you quote reno. Here is one. Una Papa!

Its ok to dream big Mr Yahaya

Those bastxrd agbadorians will be very offended that he is doing this. Why those people abhor progress and civility is beyond mankind.

Kilometres:
Lagos should be added as well




NB:

for all the ignoramus on this thread



If you add all the oil produced by South-Easten States together, it is not up to what is gotten from Ondo state.

Which explains why Ondo gets more than all the southeast state from the 13% derivation fund.

Google is your friend.

I hope you understand that the reason for the low production is that oil is barely been drilled. If you are trying to mock igbo people hope you know there are massive on shore oil drilling going on in the following igbo communities, Etche in Rvers. Ahoada in Rivers. Parts of Ndoki people in Delta state and other parts of Anioma in Delta state. Again the reason for the low production in the SE is federal government is granting less licences more bottlenecks and the communities where the oil is found in the SE, the indigenes are refusing and creating quite a lor of bottle necks.

The Oil Out put in the SE is barely being touched. Do your own research and find out my friend.

Which God? So it was also Gods plan for all those people to be so hungry that they in multitudes massacred and stole rice from a moving van. Stop using Gods name in vain, play your tribal politics and leave God out of it.

If God was to chose a president for nigeria, he wouldnt choose the oldest, physically weakest, Most divisive and most corrupt individual to lead a country of over 200 million people. We know the thing chose a man who calls himself a bat, and uses the sign of a snake as his emblem, we will continue to rebuke, reject whatever evil that brought the curse of the bat on us.

the man and his fellow roonu muslims have destroyed this country, where do we start, they have shattered everything. even common protest we cant anymore, not even the ASUU people or labour sef even after their Oga was beaten like a thief, they could barely protest. We are just sitting and watching as these roonu muslims drag everything down the drain.

When people were complaining that babangida annulled the june 93 elections, we had no idea what that man saw sitting down, having a group of people who stand for nothing and believe in nothing in control is worst thing any group of people should allow to happen to them. These same people will follow and kill an woman who speaks bad about their prophet and immediately afterwards go and drink beer and whisky.Thats why in the bible God distroyed sodom and Gomorrah because the people stood for nothing. You cannot have any conversation with them without it getting tribalised,

See where the naira reached, even the official rate was over 1000 at certain points this week, meaning our GDP has been slashed by 3 times, we are now competing with Ghana for GDP...Na God hand we dey now oh.

Faiththatworks:
When someone opened a thread yesterday asking which government agency is the most corrupt institution in Nigeria,some very ignorant people were referring to the police and the Judiciary.
I said it yesterday that it was a straight fight between NNPCL and CBN,and not up to 24 hours I have been proved Right.
Trillions of Nigeria spent on those scrap metals called refineries aka conduit financial drain pipes,and not even one liter of petroleum, kerosene,diesel or even aviation fuel to show for all the gigantic investment.
Every 4 years is always a period to carry out Turn-around maintenance on those scrap metals,the Minister makes money while the fuel import cabal continues their parasitic business.
I repeat, that's why I supported Jagaban,he must crush the fuel import cabal that has its headquarters in NNPCL,from the gateman to the GMD, everyone must be totally uprooted and new set of fresh blood brought into that agency.
For those Nigerians who have left the antelope in the bush which is NNPCL and gone after the cockroaches which is the police and the Judiciary,I daresay you are being hoodwinked by these politicians so we never focus our attention on the real problems of Nigeria.
My only prayer for Asiwaju as this year comes to an end,is for him to make sure crude oil flows to Dangote Refinery,even if it means breaking agreement with our foreign creditors.
The day a barrel of crude oil is refined in Dangote Refinery,the chokehold of the gluttons in NNPCL will be broken.

God bless Nigeria.......

HAHAHA funny Guy...You made me really laugh this morning oh... Are this naive? Listen my friend, dont bother waiting for tinubu, he is right in the middle of the crude oil scams we have in Nigeria. From the subsidy to the refineries and the crude bunkering, he is in the middle of it. that is why no one is being arrested or investigated. But he wasnt making money from CBN thats why he is trying to find out where they kept all the stolen money so he can get his share.

But its ok tinubu is a good president, if nothing atleast the fact that yoruba is now the official language in Aso rock that is all that should matter for now, in 2027 we will vote again to keep the status quo of the awa lokan. Anyways votes are not really needed, no one can remove jagaban from power ever! RONU O!

Whats wrong with these people. What about the mass murders on Benue, South Kaduna.

What about the deteriorating human conditions for the average nigerian because of Bad Government policies.

Theives, the brazeness of the rigging was unprecedented, no pretence whatsoever. A day of reckoning is coming for this EVil Party and their promoters. One day, nigerians will wake up and justice will be dished out for evil you people have done to nigeria.

Nigerians do not want change, they just want to be comfortable.

Change involves uncertainty, and Nigerians do not like uncertainty.

That's why APC is winning IMO...not because of good governance, but because Nigerians no like change.

FOR GOODNESS SAKE, why cant you guys understand that the election was rigged, INEC simply just declared him winner regardless of what was voted. The people are completely powerless and the situation is hopeless.

Obvious Fraudulent election, otherwise no way in hell a man this hated would win imo state with such great number. Just forget this country my people. There is truly no hope. The known thief uzodinma can now continue to plunder the states resources

Damn, I m just hearing this for the first time. Had an old fellow in my village back the early 2000s who always bragged about fighting in the 2 nd world war. Many people thought he was delusional. But I always thought, how could someone delusional have such vivid details of exact time, names of places and events,

Chai, Papa old soldier, so you truely were a world war veteran...You are long dead now but three gbosa for you sir. When next I find myself in Yangoon, I will plant a tree for you.

Pls stop bothering us with local crimes in South Africa here, we have worse problems,..What about all the people that were stabbed and killed in nigeria since yesterday are they not worthy of reporting? Focus on issues, una no go gree.

Interesting question from the OP, however the way you asked the question has a tone and might be seen as attempt to slight the northerners so we may not get a proper genuine response from people living in the north. Maybe you should rephrase your input.

But I truly want to know how everyday people are faring in the north these days, the most complains we see in the news now are from the people in the south and parts of the Middle belt.

Someone already stated a fact which is food stuff is cheaper in the north, and people are not overpricing accomodation against the dollar increase like you get in the south, but what about the cost of transportation and the fact that people are probably buying less foodstuffs?

Where is the hope nah? And some people are here playing tribal politics with the lives of their unborn children.

Yoruba people, very sophisticated people who really love nigeria? Am I correct? We greet una oh SMH

Normally they are quick to say what igbos did in 1957 and why they should not be trusted with power. Wind don blow, fowl yash don open. We can see you people clearly now.

Any nigerian that tries to criticize the government they gang up on the thread and rain abuses on them, check the thread of Babachir lawal stating clearly why the current cbn gov is not the best fit for the job and see them insult the old man, because he dares say the truth. But These people are quick to call igbo people hateful, bitter and insultive, the triple face no be here oh, indian styled

I am sure every nigerian tribe is taking notes.

RepoMan007:
Presidency has equally embraced speculation in driving down prices in reaction to black market downward speculations.
The thing is already sliding down and is now going for N1100 a dollar.

its almost 1200 now. This current movement from 980 until now in 3 days is driven by greed of speculators. I think when they see no one buying at this rate, it will be back to something much lower tomorrow.

Lol, Just a few months ago, I saw the same people ,marching in long lines on the same road in support of that Satanist Demon of unknown origins.

Look if you are reading this understand that tinubu nor get your time oh. The man has worked so hard for decades to be president. all the money he was collecting from lagos, he invested it in this ambition, He has A LOT of losses to recoup, the eko atlantic he threw himself into with those lebanese people, seriously wounded him. And besides wanting to be the president it has also been his long ambition to be the richest nigerian and he is competing to dethrown dangote, He has recruited a lot of smart people into his cabal who are working for his ambition, if you think Tinubu is coming to save you, Bro you are on your own oh. Tinubus inner circle and their family members will enjoy theirselves because Tinubu is a chop I chop type of person, thats why his friends defend him to death, if you are not in his inner circle or that of your state governor then nothing for you. So the people to be enjoying themselves are about roughly 100k people. Even oil workers sef are crying, You can see them sharing Billions to invisible households claiming they are cushioning the effects of petroleum subsidy removal, is that is not an example of a person who came to steal and plunder?

This administration just started oh, if you are crying now, you may not make it to 2027 which for certain they would definitely rig themselves in. I advice nigerians to start cutting their coat according to their size. If you used to eat fish before, you can now manage snail, a guy I know was saying na before when person dey complain say rat enter in house, because rat na still meat oh, dem no dey kill and throwaway rat for this economy.
Treat any potential business as something that may not work out, so that you dont overspend your basic resources. Na survival mode una dey so oh

Shawnnn01:
Many of your foolish Igbos are cursed, if it is not you foolish igbos accusing the govt why are you quick to comment ?

If your foolishness is there any part of Nigeria you will see Igbo n not see Yoruba or HausaFulani with your senseless claim of travelling. ?

If such a place exist state it let's put it to test if Nairaland. because you fools give you selves with lies without no one challenging it do not mena it is true.

Igbos do not travel more than Yoruba to any country across the globe. Yoruba do not just cinsistuete nuisance across the globe like you fools. If there is a country with more Igbos than Yoruba list the country let's put it to test.

There are more Yorubas in the US, UK, Belgium, Saudi Arabia, UAE and most of those middle eastern countries, But there are more igbo people in Germany and Japan by quite a lot, same with China, and most of the South Asian countries. You would almost meet 3 igbo people in Germany or Japan or China, before you meet a yoruba Guy. But if we are talking about within nigeria, or west Africa, it would be ludicrous to argue to that there are more yoruba people traveling out of there home base as much the igbos, even you know, that is not true.

Anambra1stSon2:
Yet to clock two years, constructing 400km of roads across Anambra state, flyover bridges, industrial park, New government house, Solution fun city, declared free education, employed 7000 workers including medical doctors, teachers, increased 15% of workers salary, trained and empowered 5000 Anambra youths with #2billion, funding public schools and also gave 4.5 billion naira to mission schools and hospitals, and host of others, yet to borrow 1 Kobo

You should try to post before and After photos of each of those roads you are showing now, otherwise people will think its all propaganda and only few will believe their is progress.

OP is an Uber Driver and ECONOMIC SCIENTIST? Oboy I laughed so hard I almost choked. I come here to get some good daily chuckles one cant get from these boring white folks. Una bad mouth no be here.

So OP while you are driving uber, you also conduct economic science?? Una no go kill person for this nairaland oh. I wonder who personally offended you that triggered this personally motivated UBER ECONOMIC RESEARCH, it must have been the likes of that yarimo,leodeking, seunmsg freestuffbastard etc. No mind dem ojare, those ones are cursed beyond their knowledge,

Truth be told, there is more Hardship in Nigeria, since we entered the hand of the cursed BAT. Alot of salary earning omulabis have seen their fortunes reduced to nothing. But, There is no way the Suffering in the SW can be worse than that of the NW or NE and even NC, That one na lie.

Truly we have to start praying for God to take over the wheels from this wicked BAT, we have no choice but to pray for him make everything no scatter patapata.

Obviously. Those paid and even unpaid ronu goons wills come here to defend the satan that they rigged into office to impoverish and tortue them. Been around the world literally and have never meet any group more dumber and self destructive as these fxckers, its a hopeless situation sharing nationality with these lowlifes.

If nigeria and indeed the human race is to be able to advance further, there has to be an IQ test before people are allowed vote and bear children just as it is done in China. The Chinese are the only ones getting it right.
