Politics / If The Oil Were In The North by earleswood(f): 7:09pm On Jun 05, 2021
Have you ever imagined if Nigeria's oil and main foreign exchange earner were in the north? Have you ever thought of what would happen if the north had all the resources and the south was as arid as the desert? Have you ever thought of what would happen if the north had all the intellectuals and the south had the uneducated population? Have you ever thought of what would happen if the north had all the industries and the know-how and the south all the beggars? Have you ever thought of what would happen if the Liquefied Natural Gas was in the north? Have you ever thought of what would happen if the north had absolute control of Nigeria's resources in terms of location? Have you sat down to contemplate these questions?

The Nigerian Defense Academy [NDA] is currently in the north [Kaduna], and we have seen how rare defense installations are in the south. Can we expect a similar trend if the oil were in the north? What can we really expect if the north had the knife and the yam, that is, the political leadership and at the same time the oil wealth ON ITS SOIL? Southerners for the past thirty years of northern leadership have to some degree continued to remind the north that the oil is on their soil and as such revenue allocations and concessions must be given to the south. But imagine for a brief second if both power and the oil wealth were in the north---what would happen to the south? How about the north? Even now, the oil proceeds are drawn from the south to develop the north----but just imagine if they had the oil right there in the north which would reduce or eliminate the agitation of southerners for concessions and special allocations. What then would happen to the south? Consider the following;

It [the north] would be paradise and the streets would be made of gold but the streets in the south would be made of mud. They would literally pave a road to heaven and charge souls of southerners on their way to heaven a hefty fee for plying their road;
The oil money would be used to create an ocean in the north, however artificial;
They would call it "REGIONAL RESOURCES" not "NATIONAL RESOURCES";
There would never be a scarcity of fuel in the north, but lots of it in the south;
The southerners would be treated as foreigners more than they are being treated now;


There would be viable infrastructures all over the north and the south, just ramshackled ones;
They would fight for a 50% revenue allocation for each of their oil producing states;
The only pipes that would run from the north to the south would not contain oil but TOXIC MATERIALS;
There would be no refineries in the south as they would say, "NO OIL MEANS---NO NEED FOR REFINERIES";
The "Jesse" fire incident that consumed more than 700 in the Niger Delta last year would not be as there would be enough fuel for everyone;
NNPC national headquarters would be in the north;
More than 95 percent of the managing directors of NNPC would be northerners;
They would import everything-- air, food, meat, etc., with the oil money;
They would lay claim to the leadership of Nigeria more than ever before with the logic that Allah put the oil in the north so they can lead the country both politically and economically;
Qualified southerners would be expatriate workers in their country given short term contracts;
The south would look like a fig leaf, southern Sudan would look like a paradise compared to the south;


The north would continue to raise the bar so that the south would continue to be behind educationally and economically as well,
Development in the south with oil money, UNHEARD OF;
NNPC would mean--NORTHERN NIGERIAN PETROLEUM CORPORATION;
There would be more oil sheikhs in the north than there would be grains of sand in the south;
They would live, breathe and sleep oil;
Babangida would not have changed the name of the national soccer team from The GREEN EAGLES to The SUPER EAGLES as he did in 1988, he would have changed it to the SUPER OILERS OF NIGERIA, with the word "Northern" in small print right before the name "Nigeria";
All oil ministers would be northerners just as all defense ministers had been for the past 20 years;
They would have established a PETROLEUM TRUST FUND [PTF] at the time of independence in 1960 and use the fund to compliment their huge oil-producing states revenue allocation;
They would be champions of the call for a SNC as they would like to make their ever-increasing demands known;
They would declare free education for all northerners to be sponsored by their state governments while the south would continue to struggle with no money to pay even bursary awards;
They would have a powerful and an exclusive oil producing state forum in the north just like the so-called northern governor's forum;


There would be the KADUNA OIL MAFIA to compliment the political Kaduna Mafia currently in existence. The "Oil Mafia" would be the custodian of the oil wealth;
They would have since built a wall around northern Nigeria to make immigration from the south next to impossible, or "better" yet;
THEY WOULD DECLARE INDEPENDENCE AND LEAVE THE SOUTH TO WALLOW IN ITS MISERY. There would be no time for SNC talks, no time for confederacy talks, no time for referandum, just enough time to declare independence and have their oil republic without the infidels.
The Queen would build her winter get away home in Kano and a pipe would be built from the north to the south where her human waste would go directly from her water closet all the way to the south, along with all other waste of the north.
If the oil were in the north, only the divine creator can complete the list above

Romance / Unsure Of New Boyfriend by earleswood(f): 3:52pm On May 23, 2021
I have been seeing a really sweet guy for three months. He is intelligent, fun, considerate, and generous. My issue is that he is a virgin and doesn’t seem very interested in changing that. We are both in our early 30s. I am recently divorced—my husband was a compulsive cheat—and have a 2-year-old son. I have discussed sex with “James” and he said that he originally wanted to wait until marriage for religious reasons, but now doesn’t feel that is necessary, he just wants it to be with the right person. We were making out the other night and I whispered to him how much I wanted him. He said he wanted me, too, but he sounded awkward and unconvincing. He always tells me that we can’t do anything because he doesn’t have condoms, but he hasn’t made any attempts to purchase some. I can tell he is aroused when we kiss, but I’m worried that he just isn’t very interested in sex. That would be tough for me to handle long term. Is it wrong that I expect our relationship to be further along after three months? My friends say I need a man with more heat and passion but I am hesitant to pass up an otherwise great guy.
Please advise as I don't want to squander my time.

Politics / Cows Are More Valuable Than Oil And Gas by earleswood(f): 4:01pm On May 17, 2021
A politician, Adamu Garba, claims that cattle are worth more than the entire value of oil and gas reserve in southern Nigeria

- Garba stated this after Miyetti Allah asked its members to vacate the 17 southern states following the ban on open grazing

A former Nigerian presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, claims that cattle have more economic value than the entire oil and gas reserve in Nigeria, saying cows alone can solve all northern problems.

Garba made the statement in reaction to the request made by the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association of Nigeria, Bauchi state chapter, asking its members to leave the 17 southern states.

Education / Re: ASUU Faults Netherlands For Rejecting Nigeria Degrees & Accepting Ghana Degrees by earleswood(f): 1:28pm On Apr 29, 2021
"An African bachelor’s degree is generally the equivalent of 2 years of academic education in the Netherlands.”
I am surprised that a Nigerian degree is compared as equivalent to 2 years academic education in Holland. I would compare it to mid secondary education.

For you to contemplate the idea for a nano second shows that you two deserves each other. Shikenan! Whilst a service member in my days, I saw that mostly all of the female members from the south were sleeping with any one that cared, except 3 that were pregnant during the camp.

It is a case of myiasis, a term used to describe the infestation of a live animal by fly larvae, is rarely reported in human subjects. The adult fly lays its eggs on living tissue that progresses to become larvae that feed on living tissue having gone through three developmental stages known as the first, second and third instar. The larvae become pupae before finally developing into adults.

It's quite evident that chalk and cheese, light and darkness don't mix. This faux unity between the enlightened and blood thirsty born to rule is not viable.
At the end of the day the same cowardly short-termish Owanbe that chickened out in 1966 will turn around and preach about one Nigeria.

You are a complete arant nut. Here in the 21st century you are trying to give some kids tribal marks?
I knew this guy with Yoruba tribal marks, who is now deceased in the UK and when other Nigerians saw him on the same side they crossed over to the other side to avoid interacting with him, and over time, this chap went into depression; and we eventually heard that he died and there was suspicion that he took his life.
