Prophetical speech.

alj_harem:
I agree, Dayokanu is getting annoying what is rain of insult on Jonathan. but the way nyamarias always turn things to ethnic issue bits me.

For once in there low lifes, let them relax and post objectively instead of subjecting every issue to ethnic or tribal ranting.

See, Alj my brother, can you people have one thread without insulting or mentioning Igbos. Next thing you complain abt us continuing to derail yoruba threads. Notice how we stayed away until. . .something your brothers cant dont. any who, dont complain when we do our own.

[size=15pt]Don’t misinform Nigerians on Toru-Ibe State – Advocate[/size]

On October 20, 2011 · In News

BY Victor-Ahiuma Young




WARRI— PROMOTERS for the creation of Toru-Ibe State have appealed to the governments and opinion leaders in Edo, Delta and Ondo states not to misinform or mislead Nigerians about their agitation.

Labour Party, LP, candidate for Warri North Constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly in the April 26 poll, Mr. Adanse Felix, said the agitation was about self-determination and for the Ijaw in those areas to have a state where they can freely vote and be voted for in elections.

He said: “We appeal to monarchs as well as the government of Edo and Delta states not to misinform and mislead Nigerians about Toru-Ibe State. The suffering of the Ijaw in these states is nothing more than slavery and enslavement.

“The only solution to save these fellow oppressed Nigerians is the creation of Toru-Ibe State. Its creation will certainly bring about peace and tranquility in the ever restive Niger Delta region.

“We also want to correct an impression created that the Ijaw are tenants. Let us state here that Ijaws are the aborigines of the Niger Delta including the lands they are living on.”

“What interest do these false claimants have to keep the Ijaw in Edo and Delta states? Is it to keep us in perpetual slavery, oppression, intimidation and marginalisation?”

What the Ijaw want is a state of their own, where they can develop themselves and leave peacefully with neighbours in other states.”

I pity the Igbos living in the North

I pity hausas living in the East.

As if the Igbos have anything to do with your(northerners) failure to educate yourselves.

redsquare:
Either Uduaghan is on holiday or he focused all his attention on the development of the state capital at Asaba.

I hope this is true. Anioma will welcome a clean and stable new state capital.

olawalebab:
My problem is who are the people that will manage the fund. Where are the Turn Around Maintanice (TAM) that has been going on in our refineries?

Thank you.

Huh? 

ekt_bear:
What even makes me laugh is people are calling this "colonial agenda."

Is it colonial agenda to keep your citizens safe and away from dangerous hot spots?

You may disagree with their judgement about which places are safe or not, but surely they are entitled to offer guidance and protection to their citizens.

Anyway, kudos to Fashola and the people of the SW more generally for maintaining an island of safety and peace in this uncertain and dangerous country and continent.

Your efforts may not be recognized by other Nigerians, but clearly there are bigger fish who have observed and commend you

Armed robbers in Lagos also access waterfront compounds by boat. U.S. citizens, as well as Nigerians and other expatriates, have been victims of armed robbery at banks and grocery stores and on airport roads during both daylight and evening hours.  Law enforcement authorities usually respond slowly or not at all, and provide little or no investigative support to victims.  Armed robbers have boarded both commercial and private vessels to rob travelers.  The Nigerian Navy has limited capacity to respond to criminal acts at sea.

And when did Edo become a SE state?

obo_man:
Someone here replied that there are dangerous cities in USA like Baltimore, Detroit, e.t.c. This is true BUT at least in USA, the likelihood of criminals being caught and apprehended is way higher than that of Nigeria. It's only in a country like Nigeria that armed-robbers would come to your house, beat you senseless, order your wife to cook for them and spend HOURS drinking beer and chilaxing inside your property. Even if you call Police, you might not even get a response until several hours later ( that is if you lucky).

Lmao!

D-pharisee:
The Governor of my state Abia is retarde.d somebody help me. bu hu huhuhu
His madness has gone beyond the market and the gods has destoyed him already,
Gov Amaechi please we Abians are begging dont retaliate we are not with Theodore on this.

Amaechi will not involve himself into this mess unless non-SE governors do as well. It may even make him seem more "Igbo" then he would want if he jumps in to it with rest of the Igbo govs which will not be good for him "politically".

Akwa Ibom, Rivers, and Imo? How come?  . . .These people will do anything to push their colonial agenda through false propaganda. I suggest Nigeria warn its citizens about traveling to Chicago illinois and LA County,California because of gang violence which claims over 500 lives respectively a year; New york City New York and  Camden,New Jersey for high armed robbery, car theft, drug dealing, and murders; New Orleans, Louisiana and Miami Florida for extreme kidnapping and ruthless killings.

Hypocrites!

LOL I'm not the one making stories up and posting consolation theories.

[size=15pt]State Creation: PDP, APGA Unite, Plan Joint Committee[/size]

16 Oct 2011

South-east National Vice Chairman of PDP, Olisa Metu


From Chuks Okocha in Abuja




Ratcheting up their demand for an additional state in the Southeast geo-political zone and in order to present a common front on the planned constitution amendment, the Peoples Democratic Party and All Progressives Grand Alliance in the South-east have come together and will next week inaugurate a joint committee to speak with one voice.


According to a statement by the National Vice Chairman of PDP in the South-east, Olisa Metu. “We had prior to the South East Governors Forum Resolution engaged the national leadership of our sister Party, the All Progressive Grand Alliance in discussions on the issue of constitutional amendment as it affects the South east zone”.


Metu also said that discussions had been very effective and both parties have resolved to set up a high-powered committee of prominent sons and daughters of the South east zone to articulate and recommend the minimum acceptable standards for the zone on the issues to be discussed during the constitution amendment process. In view of this, he said that the leadership of PDP and APGA in the South east zone affirmed its support of the resolution of the South East Governors Forum demanding the creation of two additional states from the zone during the forthcoming constitution amendment process.


He said that the bi-partisan committee of eminent sons and daughters of the zone shall be inaugurated within the next one week.
The PDP national vice chairman said that the zone was delighted by the unity of purpose existing among the southeast governors and other zones in the country, particularly on the issue of state creation and other issues, and prayed that this momentum would be sustained in the best interest of the people of the south east zone.
