You can imagine a president saying he will stabilise the oil price when he gets into power. And guess what ! Some zombies were supporting the statement.
You know, I'm tired of the blame game. This administration has spent too much time blaming everything and everybody but never themselves.

How many of these was caused by militants? Most are a result of the recklessness of IOC's, I don't see you'll being environmental champions then. Do you know how many thousand spills occur in the Delta? How many has ever been cleaned up?
How many threads have been started on NL on these spills? Have you ever protested against them? And you want us to care when our boys are lighting things up, child please.
This has been our reality for as long as we can remember. You've had over 50yrs to show that you cared, but didn't. Now face the consequences of your inactions. We will light it all up, he who is down fears no fall, that was already our reality caused by the IOCs and left to fester on by y'all....

Seeing the environment ruined by oil spills fills my eyes with tears of joy.

Japan has advanced technology, plus an annual GDP of 4.92 TRILLION dollars.

Thus, comparing her current engineering capabilities to that of Nigeria is insanity.

OP, it's not about who is a ''hardworking nation'' and who isn't a ''hardworking nation'' - whatever the hell that means.

The economic and development profiles of nations are far more complicated than such silly simplifications.

Mandate for  declaration of Biafra
A lot of the present agitators were not born between 1967 and 1970. War is the worst thing you can ever have. A war was fought here and it was something we never want to see again. Let us follow a constitutional mechanism, if that is what the people want, let them give a mandate through a democratic process. It doesn’t serve any purpose to result in militancy.

StreamerBlogger:

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has declared that no part of the defunct Biafra Republic would be left behind in its quest for self determination.

In a statement issued by Barrister Emma Nmezu and Dr. Clifford Chukwuemeka Iroanya, spokespersons of the IPOB‎, they maintained that both the South-South and the Middle Belt were still part of the Biafra territory and would not be allowed to remain as slaves in Nigeria.

The group equally hailed President Muhammdu Buhari who had told Niger Delta leaders that “If anybody has a country to go to, let him go, we will stay here and salvage our country‎.”
The IPOB said with such statement, President Buhari had accepted the fact that it was time for Biafra to go.

‎The statement read: “We at IPOB are delighted with the comments attributed to President Muhamadu Buhari, who seems to have bowed to international pressure to consider the inevitable disintegration of Nigeria, though with conditions we find inconsistent with common sense and logic.

“According to Buhari, ‘any Nigerian is free to leave the country if they have another one. Buhari also stated that ‘If anybody has a country to go to, let him go, we will stay here and salvage our country.’ It is crystal clear that Buhari has seen the futility of fighting against a determined people, who are bent on restoring their God given nation, which was unjustly robbed them by slave merchants, later turned colonialists.

“From all indications, Buhari must have consulted with his colonial backers and religious handlers, who perhaps have taken the time to school him on the sanctity of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP), the inviolability and irreducibility of the rights of Indigenous People to self-determination.
“However, we observed that hidden in the statements of Buhari are two evil agendas. First evil agenda is that Buhari made this statement in a meeting he had with Biafrans from the riverine or southern part of Biafra which the Hausa-Fulani oligarchy nicknamed South-South or Niger-Delta.

“The underlying objective in Buhari’s statement is to create the impression that the so-called South-South is not part of Biafraland, hence the upland areas of Biafra (Igbo) can leave Nigeria while the riverine areas (Ibibio, Efik, Izon, Itshekiri, Urhobo, Isoko) will remain part of Nigeria.

“The plan is to trap the riverine areas of Biafraland in Nigeria to enable Buhari and his Hausa-Fulani oligarchy continue the shameless exploitation and stealing of Biafra’s natural resources which they have always used and will continue to use to develop the Arewa region of Nigeria.”

The group further stated that “The only surprise is that Buhari and his handlers did not include the rich Orient oil fields of Anambra River Basin, the high yield Shell operated Egbema oil fields in Imo State, the abundant gas reserves at Ohaji also in Imo State and the Shell operated Ukwa deep oil well in Abia State in their so-called South-South/Niger Delta.
‎
“Successive governments of Nigeria have continued to deceive the gullible public that the reason we IPOB are agitating for Biafra is because of oil in the Niger Delta region, without making obvious the fact that oil was first found in commercial quantity in Imo State before Oloibiri in Bayelsa State.

“Sadly many people are still ignorant of the fact that active oil and gas extraction is happening today in Anambra, Imo, Abia and Igbo parts of Rivers State.

“It is pertinent we make clear to all and sundry that while oil may motivate the Arewa North to seek One Nigeria because they cannot live without it, due to their lazy parasitic nature, in Biafraland and in the new Biafra we shall place 100% emphasis on human capital development not on natural occurring minerals.

“For a country to pin the hopes of its entire economic policy and well being on a finite natural resource is indicative of the level of intellectual backwardness of the self arrogating ‘elites’ that run the economy of the colonial contraption known as Nigeria.

“We the Indigenous People of Biafra believe that the greatest natural resource a people can be endowed with is their brain not what is under the ground.

“We must stress for purposes of sound knowledge that there is no known geographical cardinal point in any geography text book or academic literature or any part of this world called ‘South-South’, except in Nigeria.

“This unique un-academic introduction of a new cardinal point called ‘South-South’ was created by the Hausa-Fulani oligarchy to serve their divide and rule interests.
With this dichotomy they intend to continue to own virtually all the oil blocks in Biafraland including those at Anambra, Imo, Abia and Igbo parts of Rivers State. But the same Hausa-Fulani natural born rulers of Nigeria refused to create corresponding cardinal points of “North-north” and “West-west.” Sensible people must ask themselves why this is the case.

“The Hausa-Fulani ruling class carefully created this unique cardinal point of “South-South” to drive an everlasting wedge between the upland and riverine areas of Biafraland.

“Furthermore, the “South-South” is not contained in any part of the Constitution of Nigeria nor is it any of the Acts of Parliament or Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (L.F.N.).

“The second evil agenda of Buhari is that by making such statements before these respected leaders from the riverine area of Biafraland, he is creating the false impression that he has obtained the consent of the people of Southern Biafra to build the Nigeria of his dreams. Buhari in so doing is giving a misleading signal that Biafrans from the riverine areas have bought into his deceptive and foundationally disastrous “One Nigeria” project.

“By gathering a few Biafrans from the riverine areas and saying that “those who don’t want to be part of Nigeria should leave,” Buhari hopes to convince the world that those Biafrans he was addressing at Aso Rock believe in the “oneness” of the British colony Nigeria he is assiduouslly pursuing.

“We the Indigenous People of Biafra at this point would wish to categorically inform Buhari that since we already have our blessed nation Biafra created by the Most High God not man; we do not need the temporary country called Nigeria created by a white man Luggard for his amusement and economic exploitation.

“We wish to further inform Buhari that Indigenous People of Biafra do not desire to regress from the status of a nation state to that of a country artificially created by the British with divergent and irreconcilable value systems. Even today, nations that make up Britain like Scotland and Wales are agitating like Biafrans, to establish their own nation state outside Britain, so why should Nigeria that is created by a white British man be immune to similar demands being made by Biafrans?

“We were Biafrans before the British Government through the instrumentality of the Royal Niger Company forced us into this contraption christened Nigeria by Flora Shaw at the time the mistress of Frederick Luggard. Buhari professes his faith in Islam and belief that a woman’s position in society is limited to the confines of the kitchen yet his anti women rhetoric does not extend to the abolition of the name Nigeria because that name for which he has killed millions, was given by an unmarried white woman to the unfortunate people known today as Nigerians.”

“Therefore, we are very happy to hear from Buhari that he has at last come to terms with the folly of trying to continue to deploy the brutality of the Nigerian military to force we Indigenous People of Biafra to be Nigerians against our wish.

“Hence we welcome with open arms the declaration Buhari that we Biafrans are now free to leave the contraption called Nigeria and go home to rebuild our battered but blessed nation of Biafra.

“We hope that Buhari will now stop his wholesale massacre, arrest and illegal detention of peaceful and unarmed Indigenous People of Biafra and hurry to free the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and other illegally detained prisoners of conscience.

“We look forward to Buhari and his Hausa-Fulani owners of “One Nigeria” making arrangements for a bipartisan meeting of Arewa dominated Nigeria and Indigenous People of Biafra for the purpose of determining the modalities and date of a Biafrexit referendum to determine the will of the people once and for all time.

“For once, Buhari has spoken reasonably well, though his conditions of carving out of the riverine areas of Biafraland into his One Nigeria dream in the classic divide and rule mindset is not acceptable to us the Indigenous People of Biafra.

“Buhari needs to come to terms with the fact that IPOB will not leave any part of Biafraland, from the plains of Idomaland to the shorelines of Opobo Kingdom, to become a conquered territory like the Yoruba owned Illorin, which today is under Caliphate rule answerable to the Sultan of Sokoto not the Ooni of Ife.

“The restoration of the nation of Biafra is irrevocably sacrosanct and irreversible, no amount of gamesmanship on the part of Buhari and his colonial handlers can stop it.”

This report appear to be sensational and sponsored by the CBN but I won't say much. My prayer is for Nigeria to hit self sufficiency and end the ridiculous rice import regime.

Redoil:
No nation will kick or stop any other nation from reaching food sufficiency.
All these are lies from the pit of apc propaganda machine just to look good in the eyes of the people

NaijaMutant:
Finally confirmed


The Islamic law is supreme than the Nigerian constitution

All southerners (Igbo, Yoruba and Co) living in the north are under the Islamic law.


The north are officially First Class Nigerians while the rest are whatever you call them

It won't be a state-owned company. The minister of state for aviation said the FG will only have 5% equity in the airline.

sapele914:
we needed no more than 12 states in Nigeria. The military created all these states to please politicians and the states were not created to be productive but to be beggars depending on oil money from the center for existence that is why after a state has basic"ly collected free monies from the center for 16 years they have no savings and can't pay their own state workers,so where is the money the states generate has anyone stopped the states from looking for investors to invest in their repective states,does Lagos beg people to come and invest in Lagos? Who stopped the BRACED states together as a union or individually from investing in the petrol- chemical sector and building refineries to complement the existing ones?they are waiting for the fedeal government to do everything,lazy children. What happened to all the allocation given to the south east since 1999 from Abuja na hausa man make them no diversify their region with the money or how much was sent from the south east to the national cake in Abuja for sharing? Don't mind them agitators getting free money and still complaining. The big country of Nigeria 180 million you couldn't prosper is it when they break it into smaller regions then you think it will be all bliss,who cheated the ibos?their own brothers the kalus, the ojukwus,the Ubas, the nzeribes,inwayanwus,ekweremadu,general ike nwachukwu,the ezes,the anyims,emeka offor and too many to mention. You know what they say you don't know what you have until you lose it.

To the best of my knowledge no local government elections has been held in Anambra since 99 which Hausa man should we hold responsible for that?

Mind you nowhere in the world is true federalism or democracy practiced it is based on how society interprets what is written. You even have Donald Trump complaining about the American system.We have a local government authority, the governors of the states do not respect their autonomy is that the fault of the federal government?

My brother...dragging middle belt is wrong by the IPOd agitators.. Yes..but calling their demand stupid is stupidity on ur own part..

I am not and will never support Biafra..yes..even in my dream...I will repeat it...but I see reason in their quest for a country of their own... I understand..

My brother.. Una hatred for Biafra is foolishness.. They must not drag anyone into it.. The issue is...it is a choice...the people in those regions will decide if they are interested or not. I read ojukwu did that too...he first of all asked anyone who want to join Tue Nigerian led government is free to do so... And I heard some igbos joined freely.. But saying their demand is stupidity means u are stupid too..

Why? Becus there was nothing like Nigeria ever.. The British created this country becus they wanted to save cost and oppress us.. And they left the country like that...look at us today .Nigeria is nothing to be proud of and u know it.. U know it deep down but u may deny it becus u may think claiming that Nigeria is working means u are against Biafra.. I don't want Biafra but I respect and listen to those who agitate for it.

But I still don't like the present structure of Nigeria.. It is meaningless and not working.. Hey guys...may be u are okay in Nigeria but millions are not.. No food, no house, no electricity, no national development...northerners are favoured in federal establishment more than other regions wit the excuse of educationally disadvantaged areas...u know all these..

I am not a hungry Nigerian...I AK educated...and I lice fine but I weep becus we are being cheated by this structure of Nigeria.. Is working against the masses.. Only if u don't av a heart that u will be proud of Nigeria...

Have u gone to hospital to see how Nigerians are dying becus of simple issues that couldn't be solved? Many are out of school becus of no money while countries without wealth like Nigeria give educational grants to citizens.. I used federal roads few days back and I wept...we can't fly to all places..we are being cheated in Nigeria by Nigerians.. I want a better structure not Biafra but I can't call them stupid becus wat they are doing is understandable..

Let imagine Nigeria has really made progress since the civil war, I'm sure...no one would av been talking about Biafra.. My peace bro.

baddosky1:
As for the houses in Lagos, there are International Laws that make provisions for the retainment of ownership of assets by individuals from a secessionist country in their former host country where they seceded from. Try to enlighten yourself the more and stop blabbing like an illiterate!

Horsesmouth:
The greatest mistake this government made was anticorruption + forex control. Thats why Nigeria is in recession.

As PDP lost to APC, a wise government would have left a free economy.

That way all the PDP guys would have channelled their loot into investments through proxies inanticipation of 2019. They would have invested in Aviation, Agriculture, Stock Exchange, Oil & Gas downstream, Power, Manufacturing. They would have created more jobs. APC would then have looked like it was their own effort.

It would have been a win-win scenario.
