PointB: I agree with you;
Ijaw, Itshekiri,Igbos, Ibibios, Efik, Annangs etc in Niger Delta should have their oil for themselves. We all want the same thing - end to parasitism!

Do not pay any mind to the dunderhead. I state unequivocally that Republic of Igbo land is my dream. A nation such as Igbo land will have everything needed to forge a powerful and industrialized country on earth. I personally do not want any minority among us so that we will have united and interest-oriented society in country.

miky: after nigeria is divided then what??,, am from portharcourt we the niger deltans want our oil for ourselves then, no more sharing with any others!!

I had wished a jackass such as you should stop hiding behind Niger Delta crap and for once stand up for your forbearers. You do not need to be ashamed of what you are because can still be ashamed of what you want to become. There were lives before crude oil was struck in southern protectorate and there should be life after crude oil, olodo.

[quote author=*Ileke-IdI]aHH!!! So your ppl also climb trees with their teeth. Yepa!!! [/quote]I seriously could not believe you are so daftly dense. What happened to one promising young lady, Ekiti-ikebe aka Ileke-IdI?

[quote author=*Ileke-IdI]Really. So then it's a fact, your mother peddles her goods. aiight[/quote]Sharp-Sharp Hotel's signpost is very alive in Ado-Ekiti. My people say those who climb trees with teeth sure know which tree is bitter.

ib0221: I never hate or abhor Igbo.I am just trying to analyse the state of things and I will appreciate it if we should all at least be civilized in our converse.I did not say Igbo should not secede, I only warn of what may happen if we have the scenario.
Think twice and know that the best oracle is history.

Your silly post insulted Ndigbo in every breath of the sentence you strung in the skewed examples to illustrate your less irrelevant prose. What has issue of OSU got to do with government of Republic of Igbo land? In what government in Igbo land has Ndigbo experienced Imo/anambra imbroglio? Or are you just foolishly soliloquizing? There was government of eastern region which gave the region best growth in manpower and materials. During this period, there was no Imo/Anambra crap as you seemed to have suggested. We are not God and it remains foolhardy when mere mortals venture to play omnipresent by suggesting what future holds for us.

[quote author=*Ileke-IdI]I assumed so, your mother stopped bringing in [b]daily [/b]allowance, no?[/quote]There is no need to assume since you, sisters, aunts and mother were pioneer love peddlers at the joint.

ib0221: To fight is out of question for me. Moreover, I will always stand for one Nigeria at any time. Everybody should take time to reflect on how each so called regions were before the advent of Europeans. Though southwest was a bit stable cos there is always a central power somehow but the history is there for everyone to see how they were at each other jugular(You can never see a Yoruba man contemplating division and I have never heard them dreaming or rehearsing secession). My great concern has always been for the Igbos: never in history have we ever seen a commonwealth in the east, acephalous form of government/power, Osu dilemna, Imo/anambra imbroglio and so on. For the north, I think the central government/power will not hold this time because of the awakeness of the middlebeltans and others. The only part that I think can remain one after division is the south/south people, however they will return to exactly what Nigeria is today.
Our problem is not religion, ethnicity and what have you, but simply corruption.

The above is a ranting of an ant. You are free to migrate to south-south or southwest when Nigeria breaks up. Ndigbo do not want efulefu such as you in their midst.

He has to answer questions about the murdered Jerry Thomas. I believe Bimbo’s most serious trouble lies with the circumstances surrounding the dead man.

Nicklee: I am so sad for this generation of Nigerians. We are certainly worse than our parents' generation. Ride on Nigerians, ride on to your destruction. There is no country on this planet with youths that have shown so much ignorance, selfishness and bigotry as the Nigerian youth. We fear revolutions, yet hope things will work by magic. Kidnapping, fraud and outright robbery is the order of the day. Yet we are proudly stupid, proudly hopeless and proudly clueless. We are a failed nation, failed youths and hopelessly failed individuals.

Until there is a semblance of a strong political administration ready to tackle the menace of corruption (which is the bane of ALL OF NIGERIA'S PROBLEMS), there is no way on earth we will make any economic progress. Meaning the youths will continue to get worse education and look more stupid to the rest of the worlld and ofcourse more ignorant. It also means NO foreign investors will put their money into this economy (energy, refining, infrastructure, etc). I have had the privilege of being a part of a number of high-end US Africa business fora and there are only three African countries getting the attention of the world - Ghana, Rwanda and Botswana (ofcourse SA already has it). Nigeria is feared like a plague and right now, only the Oil companies can survive in our business environment because of their peculiar business model.

Grow up Nigerian Youths, grow up. I challenge every Nigerian youth out there to do a simple exercise before hitting the internet with posts that reek of bigotry and sheer ignorance. In the comfort of your home (hopefully with electricity), write down everything you think makes up Nigeria's problems and what you think can be done to solve them (from your limited understanding). Put it down in ink and paper (don't just think it up). Write it down in bullet points - problems and solutions. Then step back, remove all ethnic, religious and socially bigoted cap and make a sane assessment of all political organizations and persons in our current political space. Which person/group of persons/organization has the capacity to fix the problem's'? Mind you, don't count yourself out of the equation because you could be the one person that can fix Nigeria. Write down your choices and begin to support them.

We have a responsibility to the next generation, to build a country that will look out for them.

You have written naively and pretended to be oblivious to Nigerian history. For umpteenth time, there shall never be a revolution in Nigeria as you have scribed on your post. In addition, there will never be a courageous unity among Nigerians. All the talk about the righting the rudderless ship and wasteful country such as Nigeria is a plentiful joke.

Nigeria seems even better now because the sane people have not joined the crazy carnival yet.

Jamisco: I pray for this disintegration too my brother, only that I pity you because when finally Nigeria is divided into five different countries say, south-south (Niger Delta), south east (Biafra) south west (Ododua), north west and some part of north east (Usman Danfodio) and north central and some part of north east (New Jerusalem), you will know the hell that will befall on you. is it killing yourselves on land matter or legalizing arm robbery? i'm afraid you people will still lack peace because of your greedness. don't mind me let us keep praying for the DISINTEGRATION

If Nigeria disintegrates today, I will assure you there will never be country named south- south or idiotic Niger Delta. There could be a new reconstituted Biafra that encompasses every Igbo land in present Delta State and all part of Benue State.

In another hand, there could be Republic of Igbo land, Republic of Ogoni land, Republic of Kalabari, Republic of Obong land, Republic of Edo, Republic of Urhobo, Republic of Itsekiri, Republic of western Ijo and Rpublic of Omo Oduduwa arising from southern Nigeria alone.

At this juncture, a loudmouthed jackass such as you would not have any canopy over your psychotic head to spew crap. You will be forced to answer your idiotic forbearer’s name for a change.

@POST


I can not believe some people still talk about Buhari’s interview in contest with Nigeria or Nigerian 2015 election. When the bloody sucker spoke in Hausa vernacular, for all intent and practical purposes, he was not meant to address Nigerians. Buhari’s idiotic speech was meant for his country, Islamic Republic of Sokoto Caliphate.

The only twist in these political shenanigans remains there are many malnourished sycophants from the southern Nigeria who still believe Nigeria should remain in its current dilapidated state. Anybody who still believed Nigeria’s elusive unity could be corralled is an obfuscated dullard.

@OP


Libya under Gaddafi has been better than Nigeria under the leadership from Tafawa Balewa to Jonathan. It is rather idiotic than naiveté for anyone to limit the retrogressive nature of Nigeria to GEJ of today.

@OP


Is there any good fathomable reason to stick with One-Nigeria's concept? The unity concept in Nigeria is a failed endeavor and only blinded fool insinuates otherwise.

Eziachi: In the last one year, my health has taken a big hit and practically on a chair now, hoping it will be temporary. Despite many orthopaedic surgeries, I had to go into knife again last Wednesday to have my root valves fixed and my very much dilleting aorta needs changed. It was a success according to my surgeon, who also is my partner in the practice.
This morning I was doing a brief walk with the physiotherapy as I hold her hand for support on the corridor and that was when I overheard a conversation between the hospital cleaner (a lady) and an inpatient frail on guy who just had a hip replacement as I later learnt.
This what I heard:
Cleaner (With an aggressive booming voice: What was that on the floor?
Patient (Probably half asleep: Am sorry, beg your pardon?
Cleaner: I said what was that on the floor, your urine or water?
Patient (confused, stammering) I don't real know, my pants seems dry, am terribly sorry!
Cleaner: Can you sit over there,I want to move the bed, mind your foot (with chewing gum in her mouth)

I could not believe what I had just witnessed and both myself and the physio lady, who knew who I was, was looking at each other in amazement. I gently knock on the door and went in. I ask the cleaner, if there is any particular substance on the floor that she doesn't clean? To be harassing/embarrassing a frail old man at 7.30 in the morning?
She looked at me in my pyjamas and said, what has it got to do with me busy body? Mind your business (It was then I that I knew she must be a Nigerian with the busybody lingo thing)
The old patient sat there confused but relieved, doesn't know whom I am and neither was the cleaner as she carried on. I went back to my room and then told the physio not to discuss what just happened with anyone and I was straight on the phone with my son and the third partner and told them what happened, that I want that lady fired in the next 10 mins and I was annoyed when they told me that they don't know her as a person and our HR might do because we use agency cleaners, Now losing my cool, I demanded that the cleaning company she belonged to be fired and let them start the process hiring, training our own in-house cleaners, whom you knew who they are and where they live.

Eventually against two young partners who thinks they knew better, I got my way. The cleaning company's contract has now been terminated with immediate effect without any legal bust up. For now the staff had to be temporary cleaners, until we get at least 4 in house cleaners. This business was my brain child, which I had sacrificed a lot in the last ten years and won't have anybody mess it up. Now over to you.

Bros, you acted with a hasty wit and what I should call borderline irrationality. The clearing company you and partners contracted should have been given a stipulated time frame of notice or you would have request the particular lady cleaner be terminated or transferred out of your premises. Since you run a healthcare service, you would not want a contract you enacted with government or private sources to be terminated because of bonehead attitude from one of your nurses.

mslanguage: Dr. Garrick B.Leton - the first president of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) was the man who developed the most powerful weapon of war for Biafra. Of Course Ogoni was the key to the minimum success of Biafra. The man that represented Biafra in England and exposed the British hatred against Biafra, was Ignatius Kogbara, as ambassador and was also an Ogoni man. It was Ogoni wealth that built Eastern Region - the entire Igboland. What else do Ibos want from Ogoni. God will punish the greedy and make them beggers in their own land.

The response above shows you are more ignorant than people you intended to correct with your post. Dr. Garrick B.Leton did not build any weapon for Biafra but was among those who helped in difference capacities to manufacture war fighting equipments for Biafra.

Dr Ignatius Kogbara was Biafran ambassador to Britain and stood up diplomatic opposition to Nigeria. You showed lack of knowledge and displayed instances of being brainwashed by people who would never want Ogoni or people of eastern region of Nigeria to see the light of the day. I urge you to take unbiased look around Nigeria with special focus on Lagos and Abuja. If what you saw seats well with you, I guess you can continue with your misguided priority.

You are laughably behind the curve of knowledge pertaining to the economic growth of Nigeria in general and eastern region in particular. I knew this scenario from your ill-informed statement such as “Ogoni wealth that built Eastern Region”. There is nothing that can be further from truth than your goofy statement of Ogoni wealth and Eastern region of Nigeria.

Eastern region of Nigeria contributed immensely to the development of Nigeria in general and eastern region in particular through the earnings from Coal Mine at Eungu, Iron from Emene, Cement and Limestone from Nkalagu, Palm Produce from Owerri Province and Rubber and Timber from Calabar Province.

Crude Oil was struck in commercial quantity in Oloibiri in 1956. After Oloibiri crude oil field, there was Owaza which produced the same volume of crude oil as Oloibiri. Surely, mention should be made about few oil fields in Bori. Although crude oil of commercial quantity was found in Oloibiri, Nigeria did not earn a kobo from it due to contractual agreement with Shell D’arcy until 1961. My source tells me that some of the Bori oil fields did come before 1962. From 1962 to 1966 time period can not represent the time Eastern region was built. Therefore it is foolhardy for you to ignorantly insinuate that Ogoni wealth built Eastern region.

Ijo are strangers and offspring of colonial British porters. They are boat people who used to live on boats. The Ijo hatred for Igbo is rooted in lack of land and brainwash the Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri, Nupe, Tiv etc inculcated on them during and after civil war in order to make Ijo feel relevant and at the same time dig depthless grave for them selves. There was a time when Yenegoa was a complete swampy wasteland. I read an interview given by Tam David West where he pointed an instance with certain people who refused to welcome him in their community because they assumed he hated Ndigbo.

Tam David West went through excruciating time to explain to leaders of the community that he never hated Ndigbo because his mother and grandmother were Igbo. He claimed that if he had hated Ndigbo, he also hated himself. After this narration before the community leaders by Tom D West, he was festively welcomed. I was surprised to find out that the community is discuss was Eleme.

jp philips: seriously, you just gave me an assignment, i used to think Oron and Adanga have oil, please confirm your quote above, can someone else confirm the quote above?

I am quite sure about Oron being part of Akwa Ibom State but not quite sure on Adanga. However, I shall bet that Adanga is close to Ibeno in Akwa Ibom State.

jp philips: if you go by OBJ's onshore -offshore dichotomy, OML123 will most likely fall into cross river oil field.
wouldn't be classified as majority though but one oil field, there may be many of its like that i may not be aware of.

As far as I am concerned, offshore crude oil deposits are exclusive domain of Nigeria as a country. As I write this post, Cross River State does not have a drop of crude oil. We all know what drove Obasanjo’s scheme of offshore and onshore dichotomy as well as boundary adjustment.

BlackPikiN: If you are kalabari like Jason said. I am very 100% sure to say either your great great grandfather or your great great or grandmother was Igbo.
I love seeing peeps from your ethnic group say trash about Igbos. It gladdens my heart because ignorant mumus like you curse your ancestry. lol

The douche bag can never be a kabalari. If by any means the rapscallion is Kalabari, the forefathers must be one of the porters British extracted from the Volta region of Gold Coast. I can not help the bas.tard’s scare mind about the pending disintegration of Nigeria because everything about the mooncalf will be in the next ship sailing out of Igwe Ocha Wharf.

Johndoe100: @Onlytruth

I do sympathize with you. You long for the past, where people believed in things. We all do. However the TRUTH now is that all this your talk is story. Your people, the ever hungry avaracious Ibo will sell your azz to us for a little OYEL. All your plans we will know before you.
Please don't disgrace yourselves. Have you ever seen where an army defects enmass to the other side? Be a good little greedy Ibo man and we will give you a small pension. If you don't we will shit on you from a great height.

If you consider your dilapidated body as human, I dare you to name the ethnicity of your foolish forefathers. Wherever you assumed to home in southern Nigeria, you shell remain stranger. A dirty dog such as you has little time to save its hide, olodo. By the way, which OYEL are you talking about?

1forall: A failed excuse for foul online behavior

I do not make excuses. I am what I am, period.

Yewe2011: I don't do the name calling bro

But I have looked at quite a few maps detailing oil producing areas in Nigeria and majority of Nigeria's oil is in the deep south. This is not to say that South Eastern Nigeria has no oil...I'm just saying that most of your country's oil is in the deep South (South-South) areas on the coast and near Cameroon and it couldn't have been that different from the late 60s.

But Dede1, I'm still trying to figure out what the Yorubas historically did to the Ibos that creates all of this animosity from your end? It just seems like Ibos show more respect to those that are oppressing and killing them.

I must candidly advise you not to hinge your knowledge of Nigeria on the propagandist maps you cull from the Internet. The maps you have referenced in your last post are setup to accomplish a purpose. I am not surprise you fell for them.

You are free to conclude direction of the wave of animosity in Nigeria. Again, Ndigbo are not oppressed or killed by anybody in Nigeria. It appears you are well fed with the propaganda coming out of Nigeria. There are set of Nigerians who still cling to the moronic and barbaric behaviors of yesteryears as in the case of Boko Haram. You should also know these people do not have monopolistic strangle hold on barbarism.

alj harem: LOL very funny man, You are Igbo whether by colonisation or mentality. Accept this fact and start speaking Kedu !

Being Igbo goes beyond your ethnicity, it has alot to do with the way you think !

You can call me names but never classify a drooling dog such as Johndoe100 as Igbo. Ndigbo are not and shall never be ashamed of their ethnicity.

cyril83: av bin noticing u...u dnt normally spit out sense...must u tribalise evritin?

If I do not make sense to you, please blame it on Nigeria. Nigeria does not make sense as nation yet you resourcefully expect the inhabitants to make sense. Have you seen where a sheep begets a lion?

Johndoe100: I agree wholeheartedly and the common enemy are the ibos. We should forma temprary alliance with the Odudua people just to eff the ibo up.

If you are not a delusional and dirty dog, I urge you to name your ethnicity.

dayokanu: Dendemoron,

Do you want to injure us with all these bullets?

dayolodo,

Dingbats such as you who could not string two sentences together even if their miserable lives depended on it can never manage a decipherable and typographical error.

alj harem: Nope, the british were not part of the Yoruba ethnic nation unlike Babangida thus they could careless about Yorubas. Olodo aturu

Comprehend Agbaya dende

Your illogicality is beyond moronic. If Asokoro peeps became accommodating because they were/can be easily bullied regardless their territory was chosen as the seat of Nigerian government, the same goes to Yoruba. However, if Asokoro peeps are accommodating due to sheer magnanimity, Yoruba peeps are too, olodo omo jigbiti.

alj harem: I mean, Babangida made Abuja the FCT, Asokoro people are part of Nupe ethnicity thus if Babangida can see it happen and relocate the indigenes, then it is easier for people to work on the land without hassle since he knew the consequences.

Have I made myself clear Agbaya dede

If I should follow your misguided logic, it is correct to argue Yoruba peeps were easy to bully since the British made Lagos capital of Nigeria and handed the leadership to northern political elites who deliberately held the position of ministry of capital territory till the capital was moved from Lagos to Abuju, olodo.

alj harem: Not at all, please don't misquote me Agbaya Dede. I am saying Asokoro people don't have much to lose that is what I am saying

You are not quotable talk less of misquoting you. Explain what you meant when you wrote, “it is very easy to bully them”, olodo.

Yewe2011: most of the oil is and was not in biafra (igbo lands).


That lady who wrote the book Half of a Yellow Sun also lied on a BBC panel presentation in London when discussing her book to a British audience. She stated with slight hesitation (when asked) that the oil was in igbo land. (which is not true)


most of Nigeria's oil was and still is in the "south-south" region of the country which is inhabitated by cross-rivers peoples. It's my understanding that the Igbos are indigenous to only the south-east portion of the country.









As an outsider looking in, it seems to me that a lot of the hatred some Igbos might have for Yorubas stems from the fact that although at one point in time the Yorubas did express disatisfication with the Nigerian union...They did not however make the hasty decisions that the Igbos made (military coup, declaring unilateral succession,etc.) and therefore did not suffer the losses the Igbos did.

You are free as air to flaunt your ignorance in the public but remember you do not have monopoly on knowledge. I would want you to give brief historical account of Shell D’Arcy crude oil exploration in southern protectorate starting in 1948.

If you are not a classified dunce, you would have realized that Cross River does not have a drop of crude oil. What gave Cross River State crude oil production tag was Bakassi Peninsula and I guess you must have known the fate of Bakassi by now.

It is unfortunate Nigeria is still filled to the brink with functional illiterates such as you who have never made an attempt to disabuse their mind from the idiotic propaganda fed to it by Gowon and northern regional political elites.

IYA NGBALI: hater,you are still having the hang over of the civil war. Keep hating,it,s good for your health. Olosi alakori.

I do not hate any human being but I detest certain moronic demeanor exhibited by certain humans. Of course, Nigeria/Biafra war shall ever remain a historical artifact parlayed to jolt any dullness in my academic exercise. I have a very good life, omo kekere ni oloshi.
