Travel / Re: Qatar Airways To Start Operations In Enugu, Kano, Port Harcourt Airports by Crofton: 4:56pm On Nov 27, 2021
PROUDIGBO:


Bros, i’ll tell you exactly what’s happening: it’s all about pride, and the belief they are better than...and don’t need Igbos! You don’t see how they’re always quick to draw a line between them and Igbos, even as some of them answer Igbo names and speak Igbo!?

This Nigeria is giving a lot of fools a false sense of importance and security! I’d rather Igbos continue patronising Lagos ports en-masse until such a time when either we get one at Obuaku, etc, or the one planned for Akwa Ibom is completed!

The ethnic make up or identity doesn't matter, the most important thing is for the Rivers government to intelligently utilize the potential of their S. Eastern neighbors.

Lagos government isn't concerned about the tribe or ethnicity of their next major investor, they just want to keep pushing to increase their revenue.

Rivers should do same, they should keep aside all igbo resentment (If there is any), and forge a path for mutual development between PH and SE. There are so many opportunities untapped.
Politics / Re: Which Nigerdelta Tribe Has The Most Oil And Gas Deposit In Nigeria? by Crofton: 2:22pm On Nov 27, 2021
Igboid:


But there is a factor people are not considering regarding the offshore fields.

NIGERIA only have claim to these fields because of our landmass that the North contribute the bulk of. As you level of claim to intercontinental waters I learnt is determined by your landmass.
If there is disintegration of NIGERIA, Akwaibom might not have enough landmass to claim those oil Wells from other smaller countries in the region like Cameroon, Gabon, Equitorial Guinea, etc.

What do you think about this?

The territorial sea and EEZ of a country are based on length of the country's coastline rather than it's land mass.

Hightser:


You don't know that Enugu airport serves Ebonyi, Abia and Anambra, can you compare the population to pH that serves only pH alone or sometimes Bayelsa?

PH is actually underperforming.

Rivers government is not exploiting SE human capital potential, they should be linking the Ports in PH to Akwa, Aba and Onitsha through roads, they should forget about the FG .

There was a thread few days ago that pointed that Anambra importers prefer the Lagos port to PH port .

One of the most powerful women in Nigeria that is above the law.

There are people in this world that you can't arrest, even in the UK and America.

I always tell people no matter what they say trump did in the election attack on the capital hill, trump can't be arrested.

In Nigeria, people like Bianca, Obasanjo, good luck Jonathan etc they are above the law.

If you touch bianca ojukwu, then there will be a civil war.
If you touch good luck Jonathan then Nigeria Will burn to the ground.
If you touch Obasanjo then there will be war.

They say nobody is above the law, don't be deceived, there are those above the law even in America and the UK.

I can believe this for Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, but for Bianca ?
Seriously ?

If Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the major secessionist group in SE was arrested and is still being detained then who is Bianca Ojukwu.

Trust me, If she steps on the wrong foot, FG won't hesitate to calm her down. She knows this and has been keeping low key so far.

Mind you the reasons Politicians are scared of arresting or detaining past politicians or their predecessors is the fear of retaliation when they leave rather than the repercussions that may occur .

Ade1177:
I said it

Fred is a good player, he's just not a strong defensive midfielder watch his match today and also in Brazil

Van de beek is good but I'll still pick Fred, Manchester united need a strong defensive midfielder and Bruno back to his best to supply passes forward
Rashford, Ronaldo, cavani should net 2 out of 5 chances

If he doesn't play Fred, who should he play. Snail Matic or worn out mata?

He can only select from the players available

I don't know why people hate Fred but sincerely the guy is not that bad. Although he underperforms sometime, he still offers a lot of support to MU defence and midfield .

Mctominay isn't strong enough to single handedly hold that DMF position, the support from offers a lot .

They both came second in their respective group stage so they'll have to go for playoff.
All their group leaders qualified automatically whereas Nigeria & others that topped their respevtive group will still go for playoff.


We must not do it like the Europeans, both Asia and South America have different world cup qualification methods and it's not bad because every continent is doing what fits them .

Africa have just five slots and there are only 4 teams per group, so only the group winners are eligible for play off.

Bro, you don't expect everyone to reason similarly even if there is a unified agenda.

OP's views here are valid, he wants his region (Biafra) to secede from Nigeria but not at any cost .

Like he said the cost of disintegration shouldn't be greater than the cost of Unity .

Maxymilliano:

Keeping an average Nigerian from being corrupt is like keeping a goat from eating yam ...Chinua Achebe - The Trouble with Nigeria(1983)

Happy Posthumous Birthday to the great iroko Tree of our time


Your comment is wrong, that was not Achebe's quote, he only referred to the quote to counter it as lacking sense and reason .

According to Achebe in his book "The trouble with Nigeria", A goat needs yam as food and nourishment to survive whereas corruption is not a basic necessity for a Nigerian to survive .

He also added that the comment was completely unfair and although Nigerians are not the best behaved people on earth, they/we (Nigerians) are what we are because our leaders are not what they should be .

There is a lot of sophistry in the article, going through it you would think the British are uninterested and unbiased arbiters to the conflicts in Nigeria but that that will be a mistake, the British are in fact partial to Fulani interests and are very deep in the mess that is Nigeria. God pass them till eternity..Biafra will be free to their consternation!


Can you prove that the UK government is actively supporting "Fulani Interest" directly or indirectly?

Was it not the UK that gave asylum to IPOB?
Was it not in the UK Nnamdi Kanu aired most of his podcast that highlighted the "Fulani Interest"?

Don't say what you don't know if you are not adequately sure.

Business / Re: 10 Most Valued Currencies In Africa by Crofton: 10:50pm On Oct 20, 2021
What some people don't understand is that the relative value of your currency does not significantly define your economic situation.

The CBN and FG can decide to make 1 dollar equal to 1 naira within 2 months, but it won't make any reflective economic change beyond easing minting process, etc.

We put great emphasis on currency relative value as though there are not developed countries with progressive economic system where a dollar equal > 500 unit of their local currency.

Some comments on Nairaland are grossly annoying, there's a new trend here of bashing women and girls regardless of the situation .

While the Men from other climes have built a proper and sane environment for themselves and their women to enjoy, we have relegated ourselves to this level of enormous stupidity .

Sometimes, I do hope this anomaly occurs just on Nairaland, unfortunately not .

GerogeI:

Yes it does,
An agreement will be made on its usage probably after a conflict has ensued. And that agreement will usually be in form of mutual none interference, and none stoppage of the transporter in exchange for no customs control. You have to recognize that both sides have action weapons in their arsenal of options. So the agreement is simply none interference.


Okay, I get your point . The other fellow is a highly confused one .

Politics / Re: Igboland Is LANDLOCKED, STOP ARGUING (proof) by Crofton: 7:48am On Jul 23, 2021
GerogeI:


The Niger is an international water, it transacted several countries. None of the countries can exact absolute control over the Niger. That is why Nigeria is giving Niger free electricity. And Niger is refraining from building another dam. Either party upstream or down stream can take actions that will affect the other.
If Niger River was Navigable, Niger will be passing through it freely without payment or permission. Not only Niger, but Mali as well. Stopping them from doing so will lead to daming, flooding rechanneling etc.
Can Northern Nigeria do same to Biafra, yes, but with a limit. They will only be able to reduce the water levels in the Niger, maybe about 40 to 50%, which can be remedied with Watergates.

Reducing the volume of the Niger will also be an ecological disaster for Ijaws and surrounding areas who live in mangrove and swamps. So will be a battle against international environmental concerns. So it is highly unfeasible.

Hope yo got that and stop dreaming.


Several West African countries are Damming the Niger .
www.ipsnews.net/2011/10/west-africa-niger-river-under-pressure-from-dams/


The only point I was trying to make to that fellow was that Even if a river flows through more that one country, it doesn't necessarily guarantee an Landlocked country on it's path an exclusive usage to transit through the River outside their territory .

It requires agreement and negotiation, For the downstream Nation to preserve the economical and ecological feasibility of the River, they will reach agreements with the upstream states not to Dam the River or carry out any project that may affect their region negatively, In exchange for Power and Maybe Freedom of Transit .

Let's assume the River Niger is Navigable, does it mean Niger Republic cargoes can transit through Nigeria without prior information or agreement ?
