what are you talking about? Are you high? stop tripping.

Abeg stop derailing the thread. If you are upset the coast lines will taken by their rightful owners, you haven't seen anything yet. Go to https://www.nairaland.com/1338408/oduduwa-nation and register your complaints there!

fiscalcliff: Thank you for voicing out OP
I thought I was the only one who saw this as a presidential ego trip to keep the NGF from meeting as originally scheduled
For Chrisake's, why could this not be merged with the different banquets which took place to celebrate the so called democracy day
Definitely a waste of time,resources, efforts and what have you the story of Nigeria especially under this present government

Thank you and the OP! Unfortunately, some people are too dum-dum to get a clue including this retardeen government! So after the dinner, what if NGF schedules a meeting for another time or day, will the lameduck president schedule another dinner? Will the governors not do what they would do anyway? In fact they now have more resolve to do whatever they wanted to do before the provocative dinner!

greg1234: Undoubtedly,Ajimobi's government is the best so far.I moved into Ibadan in 2006 and i can tell this governor has reformed and transformed in to a state with sanity,decency and hospitality.Things are not zig zag the way they used to be.Governor Ajimobi outstand Akala and Ladoja combined,he has just spent two years..!Bravo

Interesting! I bet people (we know them) who don't even live in Ibadan will come and tell us they know better than people like you who actually have been and live in Ibadan! Very nice indeed but I wish you people could take more pictures of good quality! I see Rochas there! Abeg take back some more ideas to Imo State and share any ideas with those guys over there so that more progress can be made by our peoples.

ujoinme: There are beautiful shorelines in nigeria! thats a fact,federal govt aint going to develope these shorelines so its left for coastal states to develope them for tourism and transportaion purposes.
These is a huge revenue potential for these coastal states.

I dont see why we cant have passenger ships moving from calabar all the way to lagos with stops in all the major cities/town along the way.
this will be less expensive than rail, or could complement rail and road transportation, and cut down of the cost of transportaion.

You are salivating over a coastline that does not belong to your ancestors! Be fast because I just read that the South West are strategizing on how they will take all their prosperous lands and beautiful shorelines out of Nigeria! I love Nigeria for that country should be REALLY great but you people have held everyone back and I don't blame the SW for wanting to take their land away and send all of you folks away!

Desola:

Asiere ni e ni?

You can clobber him like a bolus of pounded yam is clobbered by a pestle! I think it was a Nairalander (Egghead or Garri) who said something very funny about pounding these people's heads until it bursts! LWTMB!

What is the retardeen going to say anyway? I am sure they can wait the entire evening to see if he will make any sense! Whether he does or not, they will still attend the NGF meeting and pursue their agenda. Or will retardeen fix another conflicting meeting the next day? LWTMB! The funny thing is they will be there, go through the motions but they know when it comes time to vote again or make their stand at their party convention, they will tell GEJ to take a hike as they vote for their candidate of choice!

ketoprofen: Wait, CyberG, Before i close my eyes and open it, letit be that u have deleted that long unfounded epistle.

what have yorubas done for this country
and what exactly did u just write about nollywood ?
which grp inthe country tops in education today? which particular yoruba is known for sth tangible worldwide, i mean a household name?

Do u really want me to give u a resounding response to that nonsense?

sounding apologetic is what u just did and it aint going to help ur lot either. Igbos have not even bragged enough to match what they should brag about. dont let me descend on u

Thunder fire that your useless eyes, let them remain permanently shutdown! Go and google Herbert Ogunde, Baba Sala, etc and you will quickly learn that while ibos were still locked down in their bushes, the Yorubas were already exporting entertainment, theatre, drama and plays to Europe and America. The funny thing is the Yorubas do not brag or feel any need to justify themselves to anyone, they have nothing to prove to anyone. Ibos on the other hand cannot but justify themselves to the Yorubas and Nigeria in general. Maybe the loss of the war showed that they are not superior and on the same par so they will find any reason to somehow show that they got some going for them! Ibos build a house in their village and they post the pictures like it is an achievement whereas from Yoruba to Hausas and all the minority tribes, they have been building mega houses before ibos made their way back to their village to build a single house. It is true though painful, it must be said! Only people with inferiority complex do exactly what ibos are doing today!

These pictures are part of the reasons some people are perpetually angry with every part of Nigeria! Well, you can understand their chagrin when the Yoruba South Westerners and some of the other peoples of Nigeria have these beautiful coastlines while they are landlocked! It punctures the narrative and propaganda that their land and people are somewhat special when they clearly are not. They claim they are jews to perpetuate the myth of being special but everyone knows they are just lying and finding reasons to bolster their low self esteem and inferiority complex! Just saying the facts!

ijaw citizen: When I read posts like this, I see a desperate people who are about to allow fantasies overtake their ability to stick to reality-in fact, I see a people drowning in their obsession.

I urge the poster Stay real deluded to proove that he is not daydreaming like most of his people by enumerating the "heavy cultural ties" with "all Niger Deltans".

The Igbos I know marry to/marry from all tribes in Nigeria including the Hausa/ Fulanis. So because of some marriage, are you all going to drag them by deluded imagination into your Igbo country just like you're retro-fantasizing with Niger Delta?

We all know why Igbos are breathing on our necks- ACCESS TO THE SEA. But the earlier they realize that it would be easier for them to get access to the sea thru' North Africa rather than thru' Ijawland, the better for them.

LWTMB!! You dry harsh o! See as you drove a hot dagger into the ibo fantasy! Wetin ibos love for another man's oil and property go cause in their life, mehn!!!

thelastPope:

What nonsense are you typing? Are the jobs in Lagos and Ogun created by Yoruba people? Do you know how many jobs Dangote alone has created in these 2 states? Some of you just let loose your tribal sickness every time you type! Pathetic!

Joblessness has made your insanity to fester into complete madness! So who created the job in Yorubaland? On whose soil was it created? If Dangote in his wisdom went from North to South, East to West and skipped iboland, to whom do you give the due credit? Same for a foreign investor or an ibo investor, if the land were cursed or drank too much blood in the past, whose fault is it? Well, YES, the jobs and opportunity has been created by the Yorubas and the people who like them and see the best in them to want to be their guests while the Yorubas are the most friendly and loving hosts you will find from North to South, East to West! If you are not happy, go hug a wet 11 KVA transformer!

Afam4eva: This thread is a product of bad belle. I could go to any bad part of a state and take pictures and show as an evidence of fraud and failed leadership. Those kind of places in the pictures are in every part of the country.

Why are you not working in Imo State if it is your paradise, what are you doing in Lagos? It is the lands of the Yorubas, the same people you like to hate but do you see the corper below complaining of not even being able to find a job in your paradise of Imo State?

st.kelly:
See them supporting a blind man without vision, Godbless u @IGbOsoN.. After spending 25yrs in owerri, I jsut spent a year of nysc in enugu state, and I confirmed the rumors, Rochas is killing my state!! With 1.5billion naira a month from 13% oil money, he still leaves more abandoned projects in d state, why do we need to invest in infrastructure when there are no companies for the youth to work in, the state is ovataken by touts, irregular transprt system, no water, no lyt, roundabouts are built without takining into account the size of the road, no gutterz on this roadz, see the gullies all ova town!! Even the so called finished schoolz in owerri, and free education, why not equip imsu and give it a face lift, build labz , see the imSUth @orlu, has no access road, barely survives accreditation. Instead hez concernd wit making crooks traditional rulerz, painting everywhr whiteb stop stealing money and pay contractorz or u bring in berger or arab contractors 2 to work...see everywhr is a dumpsite...am done wit nysc and thrz not even a single place 2 send onez CV to...smh.. I weep cos dix man has lost the plot, oooh my wasted Vote, let 2015 just cum abeg, let him go 2 abuja!!
Ps the crook didn't even pay corpers a dime..aftr comin on tv to announce dat hez increasing thr allowee, cudnt even cough out the old pay..lemme not even talk about the football team..smh @ cycophants and praise singers..unxeposed bunch!!

It's hard not to feel sorry for you and most new graduate corpers! What I don't understand is that you people keep attacking the SW but if you go to Ibadan today, I am VERY sure there are still job opportunities that you can apply to. I mean real companies on the ground! Lagos State, it's a no brainer, more opportunities than you could ever find anywhere in Nigeria! Same thing in Ogun State I guess but you people criticize the Yorubas who are the only people who create OPPORTUNITIES for their citizens, not just tarring a road. My two friends from Akwa Ibom can not and have never gotten a job for a day in Akwa Ibom but had to move to other states in search of the proverbial green pasture!

This is what is baffling! All ibos leave their governors and land alone to go and do combat in Osun State, Oyo and Ogun State! Lagos? Na them complain pass! Meanwhile Iboland lies desolate and unbuilt up, who will build it up? Well you can help the SW more by piling on the pressure on their leaders until they are leveraged beyond the maximum and become better leaders following in the footsteps of great Yoruba leaders like the Eminent Chief Obafemi Awolowo! I think in the future the glut of superior leaders in the SW will create an export commodity to rescue and help the ibos and other parts of Nigeria to develop better and faster. Just a thought!

Handsomeemmy: Nigeria politicians continue to abused freedom of speech and some people that can rarely manage the little money they earn as workers and calling for a Nation to split. Like what my Dad told me, he said i should not pray to see war,because the end can never be sweet no matter who the victors are.

Respect to Dad, he speaks with wisdom and experience little bigoted kids cannot understand. Is it people who spend all their life on the Internet or in their parents all expense paid living in the cozy rooms of UK, US, Canada that will go back to Nigeria to help fight a war? Most of these people cannot even kill a chicken to save their lives talk less of shooting a bullet in a straight line to hit a target the size of a mountain! I honestly don't live in Nigeria and it is not fair to cause ruin and destruction for people who will have no other passports to aid their escape from hell when kasala burst!

biafranqueen:
Actually I am a women the Nnewi Motherless baby home is my project now The redcross has left almost all the motherless baby homes to fend for themselves we had to buy a water tank and window screens and we send money regularly so they don't have to resort to nonsense like baby factories. That is good that you have a giving heart I promise that is the reason you will continue to see good things happen for you and your family thank you for your understanding

What I am sorry if I was too harsh on you! I only hope you continue like this for whether Nigeria divides or not, you indeed are one person who deserves to see only good come your way!

Policewoman: You sound like a mentally deranged patient. All your posts are filled with misplaced hate.

Which hate? Even the biafranqueen himself with whom I was having a tete-a-tete has equilibrated but you just jump into the conversation from out of no where all your toy guns blazing!? But every one knows you are the proponent of hate on this board! Madam, leave me alone because if I start now you will start crying! I am not in Nigeria so your being policeman can not and does not affect me!

gemini35:
may be the alhaji,s dey pay u wella,this one u dey need one another,
i,think based on wht this man said,i,would like d joe to lose and share d country enuf is enuf jare

So that you vultures can be on hand to descend on the carcass of whatever part of the country you get from the deal? You have no idea that the people will roast all of you impostors and GEJ for lunch before you take over their commonwealth!

Goodbishop: Am proud to be a JBN worker, we rule construction companies in naija

Just tell your people to construct good infrastructure projects when you win contracts and not charge an arm and a leg to build an ordinary bridge! Is it not the same construction that companies are doing in front of my office here and they are not charging the entire world blind for it??

biafranqueen: I am a spiritual human being not an animal I am against blood shed and I support with my own money widows of the war How many motherless baby homes and widows have you supported?

I am quite happy to match donations you make to people over here. I don't live in Nigeria but I give to charitable causes when required. I particularly have a knack for giving away too much and before you know it people begin to try and take advantage of that generosity. If you are a good man, I did not call you an animal or wish you to become one.

biafranqueen:
I am clapping for you good luck

Trying to be friendly? But I can't trust you so easily! I would rather you speak honestly than be caught by your element of surprise! Thou shall not tempt a butterfly to think it is a bird!

biafranqueen: bro you are killing yourself with this your anger am sure your bp is sky high

How can my bp be high when I am only telling you the blatant truth? Well, you can try and discredit my post all you want or lie about my bp but I have a doctor who does that better than you! Better still, my bp can be checked by me any minute plus an emergency medical ambulance if I feel even a slight headache! Now, how about you? Is it that you are upset that I don't let you get away with blue murder? It is my intention to ensure that you do not deceive any one into war again why you sit in America or run away to Britain or Abidjan!

biafranqueen:
Yes it is the reason I choose it was to make a point that we are busy wanting to divide but we are not organized and our land is terrible underdeveloped action speak louder then words I never preach separatism tribalism or any other form of hate I only preach and practice development of the East
I am proud to be Igbo but I am not proud of some of our actions

I disagree vehemently! You are only trying to divide the prey so you can pounce when they are at their lowest ebb! This is what the fox does to the cock as it eulogizes it to high heavens before it's bones end up in his tummy! I know your type! I am not mad at you but I must expose every darkness for people to see.

biafranqueen:

So you did not read my post at all before you posted this rubbish do you need a translator where did I advocate war I really kept it simple Iso people like you could understand
Let me make it real simple I am against any war for whatever reason I am against splitting Nigeria up I am for Igbo's coming together and developing our land my father and grandfather were against the war I am for development not blood shed you should really retread my post before you comment anger will kill you faster then war

I won't tell you where my neck of the woods is for you will know I have no reasons to be angry, at what? If kasala burst, my heart will go out to the people who live in Nigeria first and to the innocent victims of your hate in Iboland who will bear the brunt of the war! I know you are a scheming, duplicitous, two-timing saboteur who with a forked tongue preaches peace but quietly sharpening the sword to devour your gullible victims! Ha! Did not the war mongers before you do the same before conniving to drink the blood and sacrifice of 3 M lives!? I cannot and will not believe a blood sucker with a monicker like yours! Do you know that even such a monicker is guaranteed to have you decapitated and immolated than being an armed robber? Well, you are still a war monger, even if you pretentiously doctor your post like an angel of light!

ketoprofen:


Guy, yorubas have not done anything for this nation, full stop. the so-called education u talked about is being led by easterners now. so, forget that one. all the inventions and technological advances in nigeria are not thanks to any yoruba.u dont go to school for the sake of it, u use it to change ur environs.u guys are mediocres.

and wrap up all those your crude oil speculations, if sw develops more oil wells 2moro, wat makes u think Rivers wont do the same?


if aligning with the north to become politically relevant again is wat u call political maturity, then i dont mind Rivers ppl being immature.

I am not here to speak for the Yorubas, they can SPEAK for themselves. I just thought I could point out some silly thinking for the poster but now that you jump into the fray, I will highlight you rather weak grasp of the issues. Check, your intellectual capacity:

Yorubas have not done anything for this nation - Without the Yorubas, Nigeria would most likely have remained a colonial egg for many more years before gaining independence
- The ibos might have come closer to succeeding in lording it over more parts of Nigeria but were effectively decimated by the superior strategy, military tactics and organization of the Yorubas.
- The ibos would most likely still live in the forest for they were civilized by the Yorubas who taught them how to read - Bishop Ajayi Crowther
- There will be nothing like Nollywood for the movie industry was pioneered by the Yorubas long before ibos started acting speaking in English
- King Sunny Ade, IK Dairo (MBE), Obey, Kollington, Fela, Femi, etc had been performing in all over the world before any ibo man whether Osadebe or PSquare was known to perform anywhere on this planet.
- The best universities have always been in Yorubaland - UI, Ife, Unilag, etc. Today, the SW has more universities, better universities than any part of Nigeria
- The highest level of academic achievement long before any ibo man or what not.
- The most organized society since the days of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, even acknowledged by Azikiwe and Ojukwu, the 'best' ibo man since the ibo race

Let me draw one important distinction, which I would like to hear your views. The Yorubas seem to have no reason whatsoever to try and impress anyone or to prove themselves in anyway. They have done that too convincingly, check their history. These were a people already militarily superior and active since the 1400s! I read and understand that their society does not tolerate any kind of criminal acts as excuse to become rich unlike the ibos where the kids are told that if they do not make it in life and become rich, their voices will never be heard in the village meeting! On the other hand, ibos are strongly driven to prove a point! Now, there is nothing wrong in being driven for a lot of people I know are but it is a personal thing, a persona decision. However, the ibos seem to be struggling with their history and trying to find reasons for self worth! The loss of the civil war for example made them subject to the majority called Nigeria, they can not be respected for Nigeria knows that if the rubber meets the road again, the ibos will be soundly defeated again! The ibos like to project a different mien and hence tout and thump their noses anytime an ibo man does anything of note! If they are in the national team, we hear it is a biafra team. If an ibo man is COAS, we hear it is because the ibos are the superior military power! LWKMD! If PSquare sings a song or Aki and Pawpaw fly in a plane, we are told it is because ibos are the only ones who can afford to fly on such a jet. If an ibo man builds a house in his village, they snap pictures and inundate NL servers to show the pictures! LWTMB! FYI, my own parents had exclusive houses built in their ancestral lands for vacation purposes as far back as the early 80s! Those houses are as fine and solid as any built today and our house is not the only one in that street! Yet, I have never even thought about it nor think posting the pictures to show you how many duplexes or condos are in my parents neck of the land! But ibos, it is a competition moreso if the road in Abriba is asphalted or graded! I can go on and on. Why do ibos think like this? Your real worth is not in thumping your nose at another man's achievement. That one man is successful does not mean his tribe is automatically successful or better than other people! Anyway, Dr. Osuji is one who has analysed you his people to a T!

Alfa Seltzer:

But you still want us in your country? Go figure. Igbo derangement syndrome.

You are the one who is deranged for you don't know what you want! Foreigners can not be elected to lead an independent Nigeria! There is no apologies for that - you people and your fathers make ibo the pariah it is today! If an Efik man goes up against an ibo man in Nigerian election, the Efik man will most likely come up with the electoral victory.

biafranqueen: Well all I have to say to my people is you have a year to build up and clean up the East is still under developed
Those willing to die for the few elite that will rule you and continue the kleptocracy in your separate country will be in London and the and States while you fight a bloody battle
Shedding blood is not the answer war never works only the West will benefit from all the guns and bullets they will sell to Nigeians
Have we not learned from
Liberia
Rwanda
Sudan
Somila
Our own civil war am sure those screaming for war were not even born yet my age mates better beware war is never the answer and the people have a hard time bouncing back as a whole stop praying for blood spilling

War monger if I slap you mehn!!! Your name alone shows you are one of the people who shared in drinking the blood of 3 M ibos sacrificed to your bloodthirsty biafara gods! How many people would you alone eat in this world?? How many reservoir of blood do you want to drink? You come here with that ungodly name to poke fun against those consumed by your first misadventure? Thunder fire and that big mouth you want to use to drink more blood and consume people!

Freiburger: My God see how Nigeria matter don turn to kindergarten matter, he can even start imposing policies that will lead to the desintegration of the country come 2015, what is he still waiting for? he will be surprised with the huge support he will get from non-biafrans like me.

You want Biafra and you want to be president of Nigeria? How is that possible? Last time you tried this biafranistic misadventure you helped to kill 3 M ibos, how many do you want now to sacrifice to your blood thirsty gods in okija forest!? This is why Nigeria does not trust you people!
