Your questions was to name them. I believe have done that. For the jobs they were into before venturing into politics Google is your friend.

Halfcaste is a derogatory word. Mixed race is more appropriate.

Pmb & his co Northerners doesnt mean well for the ss,all they just want is to have control of the oil rich region thru the power in the federal level & then exploit the oil resources to share among states tht generate little or notn to the federal cofers thereby leaving the niger delta ppl in abject poverty coupled with spilled land tht they cannot cultivate for food crop or even fish on.


information reaching is tht the initial proposed refinery tht was meant to be built in ondo state during the last regime has suddenly being moved to lagos for no reason..
initially,fg & dangote claimed the refinery was cited in ondo coz ondo have a deep sea warter tht can be accessed by ships & also it is situated in a region where crude could easily be accessed from the oil rich region of ss for refinery coz of distance,,
i have to also state here tht the economic advantage of tht this refinery would have had to host community & state would have being numerous considering jobs,royalty etc.


so the present administration came into power without even considering how Lagos is already congested with populace,infrastructure,jobs,no commercial quantity of crude oil,etc ,,,now went ahead to relocate the said refinery to sw Lagos instead of relocating it to the oil rich region of ss tht has crude oil in commercial quantity & has sustained the country with it for ages,also considering tht the refinery could help as a pay back to the ss for their resources tht has been used to sustain the country for ages thereby creating jobs there,also so tht developement can alsio get there & a host of other advantages this refinery could have served to the ppl os ss for their contribution to nigeria economy for ages.


i will also use this juncture to correct the insinuation tht ppl will say tht niger delta is a restive region with lots of hostilities,kidnapping etc,,,but can the doubters convince me tht akwa-ibom state in the niger delta region has all this society ills,the answer NO tht akwa-ibom is as peaceful as the most safest place to live in nigeria,
my question still remains,WHY is the refi,ery not cited in ss to atleast compensate the ss region for their contribution to the developement ofthis state called nigeria for decades with their God given natural resource thtwould being more beneficial ti them alone than the sharing adopted for ages.


tht is why i strongly believe the north wouldnt want the national confab to see the light of the day...
. I would blame the sw for siting the refinery in their region coz they have no hand in it,but i blame pmb & dangote coz they feel insecured siting in tht ss region tht even has the oil tht will be refined in the so called refinery,,
.

THE FG & DANGOTE SHOULD RELOCATE THT REFINERY TO SS COZ THEY CANNOT AFTER DECADES OF MILKING THE SS OIL NOW DECIDE TO BUILD A FG/ DANGOTE PARTNERSHIP REFINERY IN SW when the oil to be refined there is cuming frim the ss.,
if they are scared of restivity in delta,bayelsa,rivers,then they should site it the peaceful state of akwa-ibom..


the ss should be aware of all this injustice going on in the country & also see the dangerous example & part the north & pmb is setting,

Finally,i wil conclude by telling pmb/ dangote tht we will resist every of their effort to cum milk crude from ss to refine in sw if they dont do the needful by relocating tht refinery to ss,afteral the north has taken over all the oil block in the oil rich region & still want to cripple the ss by tgis singlular act when Lagos is alreadya rich state....
A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE.

You people should STFU, can you honestly tell me what kemi as done wrong since she became the finance minister that warrant you people saying she doesn't have the experience, she is barely 3 month into her tenure and all hell has been let lose from people like you that she does not have the required experience. What did we get from the experience of Ngozi or Soludo in the last 16 years, we are where we are today because of there so call stupid experience.

I think its is high time Igbo people stop this "I better past my neighbor" attitude. For me you are only castigating kemi because she is not from your side, because i don't see what magic anybody could have done in 3 month to turn the fortune of Nigeria overnight as you expect her to do. When we had the opportunity, your lord and experienced Ngozi could not do jack.

So please lets try our local inexperience Minister, since all international experience had failed us.


God bless Nigeria

Kano state is one of the only few states that have been lucky with patriotic leaders. From Kwankwaso(1999), Shekarau and back to Kwankwaso. No doubt, Shekarau is a visionary and a leader per exellence. However, the problem is that he's too fanatical. As Governor, he refused to support polio immunisation due to religious belief. I like him but I don't think we need such a man. My pick anyway is Ribadu 2019, Rabiu Kwankwaso 2019 or Dankwambo 2019 that is if PDP retracts from this their open dance of shame. Otherwise, I see the aforementioned leaving the party save Kwankwaso that is already in APC.

bro stop answering that guy. Aren't you surprised that every nigerian has one negative to say about them? Imagine if biafra had succeed during the war. The marginalization of SS would have been epic. Those who don't know me are very quick to call me a tribalist but I'm far from a tribalist. I've lived amongst the igbos before. I had my bachelor's and masters degree in Canada but still came to Nigeria to partake in the Nysc scheme. Though I wasn't posted to a school or ministry but where I lived was a compound mainly inhabited by Corp members who 85% of them were igbos. Bros I got to see them for who they truly are. Though not all of them but more than half have this mentality that they were born to dominate everywhere they go. They have no respect for the host community. It got so bad that they landlord even refunded some of them and evicted them from the house. Do you know that they the king of that community had to intervene when the community boys wanted to break their heads. Bro doesn't it amaze you that they can migrate to another man's land and call it no man's land? If you give an igbo man an inch he will take a mile. They can't be trusted.

Dedetwo:
Ijo is not an ethnic group. Ijo is derived from Jos as early Portuguese to Bight of Biafra named people living at the banks of river. It is the same derivation that gave rise to the so-called Brass people and in this case Brass was a salt-making device or plate.

IGBOPRINCE:
Anyway, what I am saying is that, they should try and put more efforts on one central language just like the way the igbo did.
this one you said okrikans see themselves first as okrikan and 2nd as ijaw, you sound like mr spokesman of okrika people,
Don't forget, you don't speaks for them all and everyone differs from you with different views. Remember you don't stay in okrika neither in portharcourt but you stay in abuja.

spanishkid:
Ijaws are the riverine people of Southern Nigeria. They live by the waters cos they're mainly fishermen by tradition. Ijaws can be found in Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Rivers, Ondo and even a fraction of them can be found in Benin Republic, Togo, Sierra Leone and Gabon. They're no doubt great travellers and very adventurous in nature.

Ijaws are one of the most detribalised ethnic groups in Nigeria. I remember when I was in Burutu last year, I was treated as one of them. One would not even be able to distinguish an indigene and myself cos I was treated like an indigene and given every privilege that was entitled to an Indigene. Whenever they go fishing, we were given fish and we always have fish pepper soup that day. The Chairman of that LGA always comes to check on us and even shares a drink with us. The youngest lawmaker in the history of Nigeria is an ijaw man by name Julius Pondi representing Burutu Federal Constituency. Ijaws are one of the most accommodating people in Nigeria and also ijaws are very brave. They're not afraid to take on anyone.

Someone on nairaland called ijaws land grabbers, boat dwellers, swamp settlers and drunken fishermen. How are ijaws land grabbers? Have they grabbed your land before? Ugomba should stop saying nonsense and calling my ijaw brothers land grabbers. Ugomba accused the ijaws of having an agenda. Please what agenda Ugomba? Why would ijaw want to grab your wastelands? Does your land have any economic value that ijaws would want to grab?

Angry pro-Biafra protesters yesterday vented their anger on residents of Oyigbo City in Rivers State as they harassed, intimidated and forced them to close their businesses and join in the protests. The protesters who were mainly youths were angry over the continued detention of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, by the Directorate of State Services (DSS).


They carried placards with different inscriptions such as; “free Kanu now”, “please don’t kill our leader”, “release Kanu to attend to his health”. It turned violent when they started beating up, harassing and intimidating those that refused to identify with them. Shops and business owners were forced to close. It took the intervention of Rivers State government and law enforcement agents to save the situation. Rivers State Commissioner for Information, Dr Tam George, in a press statement issued in Port Harcourt yesterday condemned the harassment and intimidation of residents of the state in the name of pro-Biafra protests. He said the ban on illegal processions remained in force and vowed that government would deal with anybody that flouts the order. “It has come to the attention of the Rivers State government that some pro-Biafra agitators have resorted to illegal procession and assaulted law abiding citizens and residents of the state”, he said. “Governor Nyesom Wike strongly condemns the acts of criminality perpetrated by pro-Biafra agitators by whatever name in the Oyigbo area of the state,” he said. He added that the state government had directed all security agencies in the state to arrest and prosecute the agitators who flout the ban on illegal and separatist processions and demonstrations in the state and urged residents to remain calm and law abiding.

Ariani:
There was never a time Bonny captured and sold Igbo slaves. They mainly served as middle men between the Aro slave merchants and the white slave buyers and the same thing happened in the oil Palm thread, Ijaws had no Palm trees, Palm trees grow on lands, Ijaws had no lands.

They mainly served as middle men between Ndiigbo who produce the palm oil and the white men.

And for all its worth, the major trading houses of Bonny at its peak were mainly headed by Igbo slaves who wielded influence over their Ijaw subjects.

Following an interview granted by General J.O Achuzie to Family Writers/Biafra Journalist in his hometown Asaba Delta State,he proved Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra and Director of Radio Biafra/Biafra Television right, that the name South-South is an evil ploy devised by the Hausa/Fulani to divide Biafrans,as the "DIVIDE AND RULE" ploy is the best way to promote hatred between all regions in Biafra Land and to have easy access to Biafra natural resources. In Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's words "I HAVE NOT SEEN WHERE ONE CAN BE CALLED A MINORITY, IN HIS OWN FATHERS LAND. THE SOUTH-SOUTH GARBAGE IS A DIVIDE AND RULE TACTICS CONCOCTED BY HAUSA/FULANI, INOTHER TO HAVE EASY ACCESS TO OIL AND GAS, FROM OUR BROTHERS THEY REGARD AS MINORITIES".

General J.O Achuzie

In the interview, General J.O ACHUZIE "THE AIR RAID" said; "I was queried by some group of persons on how we say that South-South is part of Biafra? I laughed and asked them, what they mean by South-South? Up till 1960-1970 there was no South-South, not until YAKUBU GOWON decided that the North was not satisfied with the Program against the South. When I say the program against the South, the program did not affect the Yorubas,it was directed against the South-East. Whether you are from Rivers,Bayelsa,Akwa-Ibom,Delta or Cross River State, as far as the Northerners are concerned you are an Igbo Man. I wonder why a Rivers Man should within Six years after the War, denounce his Igboness? Because of the short advantage given by creating this States, we know how Nigeria was configured. We know that the IGBO Man was the majority inhabitant of South-Eastern Nigeria, but we were mindful of the ethnicity of the inhabitants. IF NOT THAT WE WERE MINDFUL OF THE INHABITANTS, PEOPLE IN KADUNA, KANU AND OTHER NORTHERN STATES IN NIGERIA WOULDN'T SEE SOMEBODY FROM PRESENT DAY RIVERS, BAYELSA, AKWA-IBOM AND CROSS-RIVER STATE AND KILL HIM, BY CALLING HIM AN IGBO MAN. Sometimes I wonder what sort of mental Acculturation some of our people have that they don't reason. If you are indeed Wise, then you must understand what I have said"
