[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=798719.msg9507692#msg9507692 date=1320778058]Thank you bliss4lyf, you are right

Now do you accept my intial theory that IGBOS are a minority in Nigeria. Yes or No

since the Highest Igbo population and concentration is in Lagos, Oyo and Kano

lagos of a population of 9 million has 50 % Igbos thus 4.5 million. Still Lagos remain a yoruba speaking enviornement even that Igbos are a majority because yorubas are CERTAINLY not the remaining 50%

Thank you , How was your day today ?[/quote]No I do not agree and my day was on Nairaland.  Coming away from the site soon, very addictive.

PointB:
The IGR generated by the SE in not unconnected to long practice of unfavorable government policy of the past. In spite of that, the SE is willing and ready to go alone. I think it's mischievous to discount the large oil and gas deposit in Abia and Imo, and the untapped Coal deposit of Enugu, and of course the Gold deposit of Ebonyi.

But overall, the human resource of the zone remains the biggest potential. So even with zero IGR is SE is primed and ready.

Is the North?

U forgot Anambra, rich in natural gas, crude oil, bauxite, ceramic and has an almost 100 percent arable soil and the indigenous Orient Petroleum Resource Ltd, completing its first refinery next year. http://nationalmirroronline.net/news/19536.html

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=798719.msg9507348#msg9507348 date=1320775287]FWIW, investments  don't "pull themselves" out. Unless you mean someone will destroy the business he has built rather than selling it off.

Regarding contribution of Igbos to North and SW, so long as their contributions can be replaced by whoever replaces those who leaves, no net loss.

Bliss4lyfe, I am not sure if you are trying to fool me or yourself. The data simply doesn't back you up. SE without a portion of the SS to latch onto is as bad as the north. Only Abia State generates any IGR of significance. The rest are in terrible situations.

Amazingly enough, the NW and NC zones generate far more IGR than the SE. So the question perhaps should be, can the SE stand alone?[/quote]Nobody is destroying anything Ekiti.   The facts remain dat in the next coming years the southeast and south/south economy will be better focused and benefit from simple things like seaport, second niger bridge and removal of STUPID legislation like import bans put in place during OBJ tenure. The nxt IGR will look very different from the one we see today, whether Nigeria breaks or not.

dayokanu:
You want us to believe its the migrants that made Oyo and Ogun state?

How come these migrants dont contribute to Anambra state?

How many migrants are in Osun State that makes them generate more than 4 SE states?

The pertinent question should be can the SE stand alone without annexing the SS and other parts of the country?

By the way, as far as i am concernedthe key states on the IGR are Lagos, Delta and Port Harcourt. All the others are volatile, extremely volatile. They clearly benefited from the eight years of investment under OBJ to an extent and States like Oyo that is Ibadan has alot of Igbo businessmen, likewise Ogun with Abeokuta/Ijebu.

If u doubt me why did Fashola deport yorubas in Lagos and not Igbos. Where does he get the tax money he is using for lagos development and maintenance? Why has he freely given away Lekki to foreigners with very low tax returns and in some cases none and all sort of promises that they now own that part of Lagos?

dayokanu:
Looking at the figures posted above by Danjohn

If we combine SW and SE states

Lagos is Number 1, Oyo Number 2 Ogun Number 3 and Osun is number 5.

In summary top 5 has 4 SW, 1 SE Could this be the reasn why OP and others are quick to lump themselves with SS so they can leech off the awoof "oyel"?

Lets wait till Nigeria breaks up and take another look at Country by Country performance. That IGR is accurate becos of the productive migrant population. Cities like London, New york and Paris enjoy the same status. Take away the eastern migrant force and investment and wat do u have even after more than 12 years of being President.

In actual fact it could be argued that the figures in the IGR are deceptive becos the vast majority of figures are contributed by migrant economic labour force both in capital. Let the east withdraw does migrant investment from all over Nigeria and add them to the east, wat do u have?

dayokanu:
Per IGR, My State is one of the top in Nigeria and higher than any SE state.

The new nation will have a new Capital city and regional cities that will become the centre for Commerce, Industries, Tourism, Science, Business, Arts, Craft, Innovation and Technology. The rural areas will be agricultural, services, i.e. education, health and cultural centres.

Tell me why anybody will come to Lagos or the North now? We go to these places becos of the false sense of nationhood. We think it is our country.

As per IGR and Lagos, your State, i can only hope your new inhabitant dat is Togo, Ghana, Benin republic will maintain it.

dayokanu:
Why cant these Easterners just go back to their homelands and contribute to their IGR there?

Why can't u go to your village and contribute to the IGR there? Why are we in the global cities of other countries? U answer these question, u have your answer.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=798719.msg9506814#msg9506814 date=1320771051]Truth be told, I'm not sure it makes sense to pick on the North alone.

At least judging by IGR #s, the SE is no more viable than the North is.

SE is banking on being able to latch onto oil-rich Rivers State (and I guess possibly also Akwa Ibom).

Without those revenue sources, it'll face the same challenges the North does.


BTW, another thing to keep in mind is that if you do the math, even if all federal allocations to the North disappear tomorrow, assuming a population of roughly ~80 million in northern Nigeria, will "only" need to raise taxes by $42/year per person to make up the difference. Which really shouldn't be that hard to accomplish, yes?[/quote]The truth is the East has a large quantity of oil and gas reserves untapped. The east contributes largely to the IGR of the Southwest and North as we all know.

All those investment will be pulled out and alot of traffic will be diverted to the east. For one, the confusion of going straight from the UK to Lagos before east, will be out of the window and likewise for easterners based up North. I will no longer worry about buying or building houses else where but the east.


The list goes on and on.

dayokanu:
Now middle belt is part of the Collabo?

The same middle belt that ruled this nation more than anyone?

Gowon - Middle Belt 9yrs
IBB - Middle belt    8yrs
Abdulsalam MB      1yr

Total 18yrs out of 51yrs.

• I lost my manhood in auto crash and my wife’s taking advantage of this – Man

Mr. Akinwale

advertisement




• I own up to my inability to meet up with my husband’s demands –Wife

Just like Umuofia, in Chinua Achebe’s fictional novel, Things Fall Apart, life for Akinwale Ayinde Sodiq has, indeed, fallen apart. And for him, therefore, the centre can no longer hold.

If the 52-year-old vulcanizer had foreseen the calamity that awaited him, when he was travelling to his hometown, Apomo, in Osun, he wouldn’t have ventured out. He embarked on the trip and is today regretting ever doing so. This is so because he was involved in an auto crash, which rendered part of his body paralysed, including his manhood.

The tragic accident, which occurred on June 2005, has devastated the father of four. His condition caused so much tension in the home that he resorted to divorce. He recently sought relief at Otto-Ijanikin Customary Court, asking for the formal dissolution of their 26-year-old marriage.

In court, the visibly embittered man narrated, amid uncontrollable tears, the rejection, sojourn and anguish he has gone through in the hands of his wife. He accused his wife of infidelity and lack of care.

Recounting how it all began, he said: ‘’I got married to Kashimawo at age of 26, just like every other marriageable man. Although I wouldn’t say our marriage was rosy because there is nothing like a perfect marriage, but we resolved our minor quarrels and fights amicably. I had also noted that my wife was money conscious. She is easily carried away by material things.

“Trouble began in 2005 when we both had a road accident on our way to my home town. After the accident, I lost consciousness but was revived days later. I discover that some parts of my body were seriously affected. I couldn’t move my legs and hands. After my discharge from Lagos State Teaching Hospital (LUTH), I was taken to a local bone healer, who also administered her own healing powers on me.”

After months of intensive care and bones massage, Sodiq was brought back home. He said that on his return, his wife turned against him, revealing that she became a regular guest of Ada-loko Police Station, Badagry, owing to quarrel with people.

Lamenting further, he said: “When I returned from the hospital, my wife worsened my predicament by making life uneasy for me. She picks quarrels and fight over minor issues, and anytime any of the children want to intervene she would beat the hell out of him or her. The most recent fight she had was with our last-born, a 15-year-old girl. Yemisi confronted her for daring to hit me and a big fight ensued. Not satisfied with the beating she merciless dealt on the little girl, Kashimawo went ahead and set all the poor girl’s cloth ablaze.”

Sodiq told the court that the most painful part of his experience was his initial inability to perform his marital duties due to the damage the accident caused his manhood. He however revealed that he started feeling a bit of life in his below region, as the bone healer kept massaging all his body, which later resulted in him having erection.

He continued: “For the first few months, my wife was responding to my desire for sex. Whenever I feel a little bulge in my manhood, I quickly beckon on my wife for a little intimacy. We manage the weak erection to our best satisfaction. But along the line, she started withdrawing and was no longer giving me the attention I sought. I confronted her. She bluntly told me that my half dead manhood could no longer satisfy her. She said that it only tickles and leaves her high and dry. Consequently, she would no longer grant me my conjugal rites. All pleas to make her pity my predicament fell on deaf ears, as she callously insisted on sex-starving me. It is over six years now since I had an erection, not to mention sex.

“As if that punishment wasn’t enough, I have been hearing rumors of her illicit romance with other men and how she has been gallivanting with other street boys. Some of them even have the nerves to come looking for her in our shop, even in my presence. Each time I confront her, she wouldn’t waste much time in tongue lashing me, calling me all sort of names. I am fed up with everything and can no longer cope. I urge this honorable court to grant my prayers for the formal dissolution of this absurd marriage to save me from untimely death and help my kids secure their future.”.

On the other side of the coin, it was a twist of tale as Mrs. Kashimawo Akinwale relayed her own part of the story. She accused her husband of being responsible for their marital crisis owing to his recent predicament.

The middle aged woman, who openly admitted not knowing her age, claimed that her estranged husbands was quick tempered, jealous and suspicious, which she said were eating up the love and peace they once shared as one happy family.

“I own up to my inability to meet up with the demands of my husband in his recent health conditions, but he is not helping matters at all. He gets irritated and angered over flimsy excuses and when he does that whatsoever one says to him would become a very big offence. Based on that problem, his family abandoned him to his fate, but that notwithstanding, I still love my husband and would wish to let him go,” she asserted.

After listening to both parties, the presiding member of the court, Chief S. K Hussein, tried to broker, but all his efforts failed. Therefore, the marriage was formerly dissolved and N28, 000 was awarded the respondent for self-maintenance. Both parties were advised to maintain peace, orderliness and stay out of each other’s ways.
