I doubt UK will ever sanction those guys,
Let them surprise us for once by doing the right thing.

Sanction CNN? Why not make good the treat let's see how it goes down.

I said it! The more they try to cover up the more they expose themselves.
Where are all those wannabees who were arguing with me on this topic the other day?
Here and now your commissioner have consciously agreed they have illegal miners, and the state is doing business with these criminals, meaning by deductive reasoning Zamfara state is knowingly or unknowingly sponsoring these artisanal criminals , case closed!
Let no one ever come to tell us anything about operational licence again.

It took them many years after betraying Biafra to realise how stvpid they are.
For them, occupation means pipeline security jobs for Fulanis.

bigtt76:
Its called oil bunkering because the people vandalize already established oil wells and steal oil from it. If they can afford to prospect for oil on their own and established a functional oil well without disrupting the lives of the people or existing oil wells belonging to oil companies, why not.

Are you trying to compare the rudiments of owning an oil well to what is happening in Zamfara?
What's the difference between a guy who vandalised and stole oil, and a guy who stole gold from its deposits?
Does South South states control their oil? Here zamfara is indirectly running the racket themselves.
Didn't you notice the foot drag in registering the artisanal criminals from the FG, while we all know how same FG guides and apportion oil Wells to Northerners.
We must be prepared to tell ourselves the truth sometimes.

nsiba:
.

They are preparing bandits, bokoharams that they will use in destabilizing any President from the South

Exactly! They just agreed the former proceeds from that gold was used in exchange for arms and ammunitions. Won't it be right to conclude the facilitators of the illegal mining are complicit in terrorism?
Nigeria as a country is just a big fat joke.

Openbusiness:
It's not about buying refinery or processing crude oil. It is about the LICENSE to drill the oil and who is the facilitator of the drilling.

It was Zamfara govt that was the facilitator of their gold mining.

But the Niger Delta IS NOT allowed to facilitate the drilling of their own gold. That is to say, if Chevron or Total or anybody wants to drill oil in 9ja Delta, they just go through the FG, the State has no say. The FG allocates oil blocs, oil fields etc. So the FG is the facilitator. The State can only tax those companies for operating in their area. But who drills the oil, how they drill it, how long they drill it, what they do with whatever they drill out, the Niger Delta States has no say.


Do you know Osun State has its own gold and more gold deposits than even Zamfara. Did you ever hear of Osun State mining their own gold? The FG is the direct facilitator of gold mining in Osun. But they allowed Zamfara to mine their own gold, and then CBN bought the gold from Zamfara. Even the Deputy Speaker who is an APC member raised a motion on the ILLEGALITY of this Buhari regime fraud. The height of tribalistic nepotism.

https://guardian.ng/opinion/zamfaras-gold-stimulus-for-resource-control/

One chilled bottle of beer for you! you understood the tricks in this logic.
The Zamfara government fronts so Called unregistered artisanal criminals to mine FG gold on their behalf, while same is considered crime in South South.
When eyebrows are raised, they are now diverting everyone's attention with licence and all what not.

9japride:
If the north were to have the oil in the south, I am very sure that the southern part of Nigeria will be highly neglected.

If the North had 1/10th of the oil in the south, there won't be a Nigeria nation to start with, They would singlehandedly kick the south out of the federation.

This is something we southerners know but our cowardly political elites pretend to be ignorant of.

If PAGMI was just formed this 2019, who registered the artisanal criminals of yesteryears? Haven't we heard rumours of how illegal cartels control that mining with government looking the other way?

Dude we all know the government had always handled the issue of illegal mining with kid gloves in relation to oil bunkering.

Blue3k:
Lol people on this forum know how to expose their criminal sympathies. No the government cant legalize theft aka oil bunkering. Bunkers just steal oil in pipelines and resell on the open market. Drilling for oil is clearly different from stealing oil out random pipelines.

If you want to argue small scale prospecters should be given licenses to explore that's a valid argument. If you want modular refineries that makes sense. Both are currently legal within the country.

This is the point, there is no difference between the guy who steals from government oil pipeline without permission and the guy who digs gold for years without permission.

Who gave the artisanal miners licences to dig supposed government gold deposits for decades ? The ministry implicated itself by accepting that PAGMI is just beign formed TO REGISTER artisan criminals who have been having a field day, why attack their Niger delta counterparts?
This is not to say anyone supports such acts , but what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

how many decades ago was gold discovered in zamfara?

2nd to the last paragraph," the federal government is yet to, or still registering the artisanal miners, they just hastily started it a while ago with PAGMI" ...
The real front men here are the so Called artisanal miners who mines for Zamfara government.
So any body can just grab some mining tools and start digging for gold to sale to zamfara government at giveaway price, to process and sale to CBN ?

why can't there be artisanal oil drillers and refiners in South South? Why call it oil bunkering?

These guys are positioning themselves to rule the world, from removing alcohol ban and other Liberal policies to luring intellectuals.
Nigeria is doing the exact opposite, yet the Id1ots that run this country claim they are planning to develope this shyt hole.

Partners in looting.

Call out the devil himself to swear them in, they will still misbehave. If that deity is not strong it will be the first thing they will even loot.

Nigerian government will ignore this message and start to attacking the messenger.
Reality is the Government is just buying time to continue their looting, they equally know this present structure is not working.

The North whom this constitution benefits has the highest number of senate members, how exactly do you guys plan to circumvate the Northern senate majority in the vote against this constitution?

Can't you see that those who are fighting for resource control, regional govt, referendum or secession, all have better defined course than focusing on this scam constitution?

What is Dubai waiting for to roll out the names of those who are actually involved?
The speculations are that those 6 names are middle men, who actually owns the money? We need names.

I encourage UAE to dig deeper, am sure many Fulani heads will roll. Whose money were they sending to Bokoharam?
it sounds like these men are most likely middle Men, someone might have sent them on that funds transfer errand, we want to hear some familiar Fulani surnames.

Igboid:


You are a man without dignity. Grow up.

Your post is a simping post.
Ikwerres and Wike are not Igbos. Let them be. Stop calling them Igbos. You degrade Igbo tag when you "Dash" it to people not worthy of it.

No Alpha male goes around calling a gf that ditched him " his girl friend", only simps do that.
Alphas reject and bullshit any gal who rejects them and move on like they don't exist.

Igbos with Dignity have rejected Ikwerres and will never stoop low to refer to a person like Wike as Igbo.
Simps like you will not move on, hence disgracing us all.
I will keep quoting and bashing you guys if you don't stop throwing Igbo tag on undeserving groups. You can be sure of that. The mad man is never ashamed of his actions, its his relatives who are.
You lots calling Ikwerres Igbos are bringing shame to proud Igbos, and until you stop that madness, we will not leave you alone.

F00l, using your own theory, when a girl dumps you then you ain't an Alpha in the first place.
This your dumping analogy makes you a beta, simp, no real igbo man tries to beg ikwerre to be part of igbo, yet real igbos are testicular enough to tell ikwerres to their face how cowardly kind of igbos they are which is a bitter red pill for you and them to swallow.

Calm down, read my post from. Page #1 again and again, if you are a little bit lucky, you might learn how to pick sarcasms from general statements..
Am outta here.

Igboid:


[s]Don't be stupid. Ethnic identity is an optional thing.
You have native Germans in Switzerland, Italy, Austria,Lichtenstein. They all don't want to be called Germans and Germany respected their wish because Germany knows they can be great without those minority Germanic groups I mentioned.
Germans are too proud a race to go about begging for Unity or simping Around. They believed in themselves and today, Germany is the biggest economy in Europe.

The Germans in Switzerland, Italy, Lichtenstein, Austria are doing well for themselves too, but none of them come close to Germany in greatness.

Why are some of you without group Pride and dignity trying to make it seem like Ndiigbo cannot achieve greatness without few Igboid ethnicities scattered in SS. These people insult denigrate and humiliate Ndiigbo. Their official bodies like Ogbakor Ikwerre and Uzugbani Ekpeye, and those of Ogba and Etche have made it obvious they are not Igbos and want nothing to do with us.
Why can't some of you show dignity and reject these people too?
Why can't you show yourselves self love and return their hate with hate.
Why are you this insufferable.
Why is it difficult for you to accept that these people are rabidly Igbophobic and will not hesitate to harm you(Ndiigbo) even more than Ijaws, Yorubas or Northerners can?

Who cursed you? Who stole your brains that you can no longer reason?
Ndiigbo use to be a wise people capable of rational thinking, what is happening to our today youths ?Why can't you free yourselves from the brainwashing of a clueless and misguided man with radio station situated in London?

Obulu ogwu na oma ele! Tufiakwa!

[/s]

First you have done a bad job at impersonating Ndi igbo, you are not an igbo man.
Secondly in my entire post, I still haven't seen where I begged any ikwerre to unite with Ndi igbo, if you understand English you will know the meaning of identity crisis. , the brainless lunatic here is you, cause your anger with Nnamdi kanu have blinded your common sense of analysis.
People should feel Free to be lunatics, but no one has the right to force us to interpret issues from their point of lunacy.

This doesn't mean I beg their unity, and never will, yet that doesn't mean I should hesitate from telling ikwerre man like Wike how Cowardly he and his tribe had became by denying their tribe, sequel to post biafra war losses.

The id1ot who simps arround here is you, and your lack of analytical mindset in your pretence to be igbo.
Ikwerre can claim to come from Bahamas, swahili, or Mongolia, no igbo man gives a ratass, I said it before.
What no man will tell me is to interpret that person's madness alongside him, then two lunatics have just been made.
You the nice guy who does that is the simp in this case scenario, cause no Alpha dude accepts inferior logics in the name of respecting a lunatics point of view, We say it as it is to their face.

Once again, no igbo man begs any idiat for unity , but no igbo Man should accept a mad man's angle just to please him, get that into your shyt filled brain.
And Germany formed a country without Austria but those Germans in Austria and Switzerland are still beign reffered to as cowardly kind of Germans today, same ways Ndi igbo are reffering to ikwerres as cowardly kind of igbos today, so what are you arguing?
For the last time dont quote me again on this, it's the most stvpid argument in the world.

Dreadful:

Tell me a State in the upland Igboid community that do not have oil?
Enugu alone has the highest reserve of fossil fuel deposits in the whole of West Africa.
There is oil in Abia, Anambra, Imo and Enugu
If the extensive oil exploration that is done in the arid north is conducted in Ebonyi, the uncontrollable oil spills will extend to Benue.
So, who is talking about some stupid oil here?Fool

Stop educating those 1diots, they know its not about oil... even the oil is fast out living its usefulness cause many countries now run electric cars. They know the igbo man doesn't gv a ratass about any ikwerre lunatic afterall.

The issue here is, some fulanis (using igbo monikers) are trying to teach you your own history, having succeeded in converting the ikwerre mindset into identity crisis, they are now forcing it down your throat,
No lunatic have any right to force you to reason in his line of thought.. Give them their antipsychotics if you must.
ideally they the Fulani wild an1mals are the 1diots who are peonouncly interested in the oil, not Ndigbo.

wingmanIII:


You are definitely not from Rivers State. Stop deceiving your self.

Those are dirty Fulani e recruits.. Don't take him serious.
That dude was once defending Islam on this forum with this same ikwerre moniker, I can't count how many they are on this forum.
What beats my imagination is how people easily belive they are igbos just by using an igbo sounding moniker.
Pay closer attention to their line of thought, we know ourselves, irrespective of the deciet in the monikers.

How time flies.
It took the saro wiwa 28 years (1967-1995) to see what Ojukwu saw in 1967, to discover that Biafra meant well afterall, it was painful when he found out he had been used and dumped.
In Abachas words,
**I won't allow saro wiwa to live and betray me the way he betrayed his brother Ojukwu. **
meaning no matter how hard he tried, the Fulani man still saw him as a Biafran.

Some politicians from that axis are presently on same mistake

Igboid:


You lack commonsense.

Wike and Ikwerre people are not Igbos. Peeps like you without sense of group dignity is exactly why Wike and his Ikwerre people are using Ndiigbo to wipe the floor.
Grow a brain biko.

How exactly is it your concern if Fulani are draining oil wealth in Rivers state?
Why are you crying more than the bereaved, where are your senses?

Wike and his people think Igbos are their problems, why won't they, when peeps like you have refused to grow up. You seem to suffer from a form of Stockholm syndrome.

Ikwerre under Ogbakor Ikwerre had made it clear they are not Igbos, Ikwerre people on the average are the most Igbophobic group you will find out there. Wike again demonstrated it by killing Ndiigbo in Obiigbo, yet your brain cannot get the message.
You are still here saying Wike is an Igbo man, are you retarded?

You claim igboid in your moniker, but your comment have just given you f00l away.
You see 2 arguments I don't engage in are,
1) ikwerre is not igbo
2) That a gay is no longer a man.
The two arguments are closely related to a lunatic who wants you to address him from the prism of his delusive grandeur.
Its OK for a lunatic to surfer from delusions but you a lunatic have no right to tell me to see you from your angle of lunacy..
Presenting the issue as it is doesn't mean I have any affinity or inclination to relate to ikwerre, but their identity crisis is still not reason enough for me to lose my own line of reasoning.

Let this be the last time you re3ard will quote me on this.

Only few states in the North can cancel the whole southern votes
This is what Nnamdi kanu has been arguing for ages against other softer agitators.. The best option is direct referendum.

Ezenwo Wike, an igbo man from ikwerre extraction, is now saying Rivers, a state with over 50% igboid indigenes, will be home to igbos?
Can't you see the stvpidity in his politically motivated self induced identity crisis,?
what Ojukwu called intentional amnesia

Meanwhile zamfara is still selling their own gold while people like Wike whose relatives are guarding pipelines for Fulanis still believes his igboid neighbours are his problem.

This guy genuinely likes freedom of the oppressed.. this trait will come in handy in the coming days.
People will be shocked how tables will turn against oppressors.

This is what education does to someone, It opens your mind to think clearer, reason why the North discourages education.

If there are upto 3 women like her in the North, maybe the others might start seeing things from a different prism.

Dubai security should dig deeper, trace their phone conversations, etc for the past 5years, am sure more prominent Fulani heads will roll.

They can trace #endsars accounts, but can't trace how they paid bokoharam.

Black man and stvpid mentality!
Just last week Dubai announced the lift in ban of alcohol in public places.
You want to develope kano like Dubai but stvpidity won't let you stop practicing 14th century Islam.

Leftist have started pushing their gay agenda in a subtle way, when Biden have just won an election...you guys are in for a long ride
Homosexuality is one ideology that even mother nature opposes. Until gays start having their own babies, it makes no sense to support it.
