Ijaya123:
The warning of the "environmentalist" comes to mind.

Let them continue bursting pipelines and their act of vandalism. Buhari is now suffering from it I guess.

ojinuocheibi:
wike boys cant cross aso rock gate or National assembly gate so as a governor if he want his police security he knows exactly what he is talking about.

dingbang:
The Inspector General of Police does not take orders from a Governor!




The Inspector of General takes orders from the Commander in Chief.




Wike should go and cry to Buhari!

IamISRAEL:
Wicked wike, shey you have heard, its fire for fire, blood for blood this time,

Pedagogue:
That an old woman, who has obviously been impoverished by our thieving politicians, was 'spotted' campaigning for the same corrupt politicians, on account of the stipends she has been given, IS NOT NEWS-WORTHY!

Nairaland needs to change it's front-page standards. The endless junks that flood the front page is a great disservice to NLers.The difference between NL and blogs is that ANYTHING is NEWS to bloggers. But NL, especially the front page, is known for enriching and educative contents. NL will go down if it tries to focus on junks like this!

There are so many wonderful threads that deserve to be on the front page. Yet, the MODs, for reasons best known to them, do not push them to the front page.

I love NL so much, but I believe there should be some standards that must be met before a thread is pushed to the front page.


The candidate the woman is supporting was not a politician and could not even afford to buy the application form. But he won the primaries because the heavy weight politicians moved with the then governor, Amaechi, to APC. The young boy won the established politician on APC platform who was then Governor Amaechi's chief protocol. But, the election result was cancelled for this rerun. However, there is no guarantee that this young PDP candidate will not behave like the average politician (corrupt and selfish) if he wins the election.

Someone told me Magnus Abe of APC is well loved in rivers state

yarimo:
Silly FAYOSE, where was he when police did not allowed a sitting governor of rivers state from entering government house? FAYOSE and WIKE remember. what is good for the goose is also good for gander

Weedcrusher:
When I look at Nigeria governors, senators, reps, president etc. I realize the reason why the country is so backward.
How does this thing became a governor?

Alariwo2:
Tompolo still never come out of hiding ni?

nawa o.. so noisemakers fit turn pit rats

Alariwo2:


Lagos is SW... originally called Eko

forget what the igbos will tell you.. Hausas will never dispute the fact yorubas own Lagos.. capital city or not
Ogun, Ondo and co. are coming up soon.. it will shock the world

I'm still yet to understand how a group can claim industrious or hardworking in other people's lands.. baffles me really

hisgrace090:
Abia state did not have even one standard bridge across their numeroise rivers.
No abia bridge can accommodate 2 vehicle at a go, one must wait the other one before climbing.
Again no abia tiny bridge have walls on it side for safety.
Pray for abia state today , they are in trouble.

tuale4u:
The five south east state can leave nigeria if they want, nobody cares as long as no single south south soil is included.

I know IPOB would soon come and attack me with thier usual boring lines listed below:

1. Who are you to speak for entire South South or Niger Delta.

My question to them: who are IPOB to even speak for the entire south east.

2. There is no word like South South in Geography.

My answer to them: words are created by man and nations. Nigeria have created the word South South and it has come to stay. Deal with it. The word South South is also used by the United Nation. U can google to get educated.The word google,facebook,IPAD were created in our lifetime.

3. You are yoruba and Afonja.

My answer to them: i am a full blooded Niger Deltan like Amadi Elechi, Anthony Enahoro, Ken Saro Wiwa, Isaac Adoko Boro , Ateke Tom, Ayiri etc who rejects Biafra. If you dont believe, u can go hug toilet!

4.They will not leave any Igbo tribe in south south behind when they break away.

My answer to them: We dont have Igbo in South South. What we have in south south is distinct independent ethnic nationalities like Kwale, igbanke, ikwerre, Anioma, Etc. Cubans are not Mexicans,Texans are not Mexicans, Portuguese are not spanish even though they share border, history and language similarities.

5.We dont want South South because of oil.

You can say that to a one year old infant. There is low oil price today, all the south east states are currently facing strong recession.

6. Your Divide and Rule wont work.

My answer to IPOB is that they are the king of Divide and rule. Whenever a Niger Deltan speak on Niger Delta issue, IPOB fraud are quick to tell you how Ijaw cant speak for Urhobo, how edo cant speak for Isoko and Itsekiri cant speak for ndokwa etc. IPOB always want to tell us Niger Deltans how diverse and different we are while downplaying our strong simililarities and history so dat they can easily annex us as small insignificant groups.

7. There will be a Referedum where South south will have to chose between Nigeria and Biafra.

This is d most deluded statement of IPOB which can only happen in thier wet dreams. If there will be referedum in Nigeria it can never be two choice but multiple choices. The choice will and must definitely include the following: Niger Delta Republic, Nigeria , Biafra, Oduduwa, Arewa and others. Niger Delta Republic is our preferred choice as south south people.

8. Nigeria is a creation of white man. They want old eastern region back. The people were not consulted before the almagamation of Nothern and Southern protectorates.

My Answer to them: Old Eastern region was also a creation of a white man. The white man did not consult all the various ethnic nationalities in all the regions before they created the eastern, western and Northern region. People were forcely lumped together as eastern region. This is obvious with the Joy of Rivers State and Cross Rivers state people when they were seperated from a dominant Oppressive tribe in old eastern region to create thier own state. Wike the Governor of Rivers state just celebrated this issue last year by naming port Harcout township Stadium as Yakubu Gowon Station.
Delta State including Asaba was never at any time in history part of Eastern region. Delta state including asaba was first part of of Benin Kingdom/Empire before becoming part of Western Region, then part of Mid West, then part of Bendel before becoming Delta state today.

9. In Biafra, every region will own thier resources and pay tax to the centre. South south people should not be afraid of losing thier resources to a dominant tribe.

My answer to them: Why will South South people be comfortable to paying any form of tax to a centre likely to be controlled by a dominant tribe with the least resources, least landmass and almost more than 50% of the resulting population of such union. We will rather form our own Niger Delta Republic and run our things ourselves alone. I think we will prefer resource control in Nigeria than that your dream Biafra.


10. Your dream Niger Delta Republic will not work because south south people are too diverse and different

My answer to them: Divide and Rule in action. Your dream Biafra will be more diverse than our dream Niger Delta Republic. Your dream Biafra is our dream Niger Delta Republic plus South East. However even if Niger Delta Republic will not work, we are ok with it breaking into three or six different countries. It is our problem. Leave it for us. Afterall Soviet union broke into more than 20 countries and the world have not ended. In Summary, Niger Delta people wants Resource Control, Fiscal Federalism or Niger Delta Republic as last option if Federal Republic of Nigeria breaks.
