hahahhaa. Which anioma? Point of correction anioma is not igbo. Ikwerre is not igbo. Stop trying to attach yourselves to us by force. Go back to your cursed region of south east.

This thread is destined to die a natural death. Why! Because it was started by a reknowned tribal bigot of whose S/South origin we cannot ascertain.

jabbok:
the Yorubas will scuttle it because their oxygen supply is coming from hausa / fulani.

I hate to say this, but the sons of Odualand need to sit down and ask themselves some thought provoking questions. E.g

1) Why do our Southern brothers see us as backstabbers?
2) Why are we usually the pawns used by the north to scuttle the plans of the South?
3) Why do we always lose our voice when Southern interest is been threatened? eg Boko haram slaughter of Christians up north and other sharia related activities.
4) Why do we make noise, heat the polity, but hide when its time to take responsiblility?
5) Lastly, what do we as a race stand for in Nigeria. The Hausa/Fulani are born to rule supremacist and pro-north, the Igbos are republicans and pro-south, the middle belt are anti sharia and anti-hausanization, the Niger-Delta are for resource control. What stance are we sons of Yorubaland known for? What are we known for?

onenaira3:
I keep wondering why anyone is surprised? I don't even see it as a kidnapped thing even. All I see is a master discliping his slave. Think am...the Fulani master is angry that his slave had the audacity to go get money and no share. Na disclipine den dey do. Una except the other slaves to fight back? For where? 200 of them even ran away when the act was happening.

Very funny.

SenseiX:
Bush won't rise despite his huge cash haul and Trump will eventually lose steam. Carson might win the first primary in Iowa because of his strength with Christian Conservatives.
In my opinion the person to watch is that Fiorina lady, She had a strong debate performance and the media seem to be pushing her narrative. I'm rooting sentimentally for Carson too though, his story inspired me back then in my teen years.

Your points have substance. The conservative christian community (and to a large extent the elderly American voters) are rooting for Carson, based on his stand on homosexuality, immigration and other issues. He is a role model to many Americans both, blacks, whites native Americans and Latinos. Me think he will emerge victorious as the Republican Presidential flagbrearer.

fratermathy:
Anioma people, except for Ndokwa nation, have nothing in common with the people of the Niger Delta other than proximity. The Anioma stock has its own culture and are in no way similar to those of the Urhobo, Isoko or Izon. I guess that's why the op didn't include it. That's not to say Anioma culture is inferior though. Just that they have more ties with the Igboid culture than the Edoid stock.

Says who? don't know why some less exposed idiots would keep poking their nose into what they know nothing about. Yes, the Anioma's are part of the larger Igbo group. But, nobody made you the cultural spokesman of the Anioma people. Some of you proud bigots from the SE must understand that the Anioma's and most Igbo subgroups share a lot in common with the Edoid groups. A fact you can never take away.
So, please allow the Itshekiri, Urhobo, and Izon of Delta state enjoy their thread.

dearpreye:
Proudly Izon! I greet all my people from the Eastern region of Nigeria.

Which state do you hail from Senibo.

Dasuks:
@mikolo I think it has already started. Their instrument of power i.e the imposition of their candidates on everyone without the approval of the masses is gradually disappearing with the electoral changes that started this 2015. With time as the arena gets crowded with more talent and the situation gets worse, it'll call to the fore these who really have substance. I mean imagine some of these so-called SS politicians required to hold their own in public/televised debates against some of the public and private sector talent in the area.... It's not going to be sudden but looks like once the 'thumbprint' starts to count and ppl get more urbane( social media etc) and educated the foundations of this present order will give way to something more stable.

[b]@eastlink I think that the oil is a blessing which ever way we put it. What has made things the as bad as they are is the ingrained political culture of social irresponsibility and laziness. Look at Norway( 75% of economy on O&G), Scotland, Canada( 20% of economy on O&G and its linkages) and other fast growing polities in the Arab world, where the oil is financing some of the biggest construction and development projects ever seen in history. Without the oil money ( and that of other resources that just luckily appear in one's grounds) a not so developed nation finds it hard to perform its duties properly.So when there's this money its not so much its existence that makes it a curse as opposed to its use. Not one day has that oil brought harm to the peoples. Instead they have internalized their costs. The training of personnel and research especially. The salaries go to the locals and local academia. Yes, the govt is spending money but that wealth is toward the ppl, nothing leaves the production locales. I mean someone in London could probably not care so much about oil, but 10 Downing would neever want to see the North sea reserves go, the Aberdeen'ians' understand their worth and are busy growing the most prosperous middle class in virtually all of Europe. Same thing happens in Alberta, all them hicks with their pimped out trucks.. The area harboring oil all of a sudden becomes synonymous with wealth and abundance because the politics governing the distribution of the wealth is true to the dwellers of the production areas[/b].
For instance the Ogonis are in dire straits now, not to their own fault entirely, but most youth are now in useless semi-armed unemployed groups doing absolutely nothing. After the cleanup wouldn't it make sense to properly train the young boys and girls as technicians directly in the industry and other linkages to it ( transport, catering) so that the benefits are localized to a great extent and everyone stays satisfied and almost content. A Norwegian minister at a talk in Ghana once described the money that oil brings as 'lazy'. Implying it made people too lazy but the key was an alert and fully aware government and of course electorate to make leadership changes where appropriate.
Just take a look at our area lately what happened to the maritime schools, the initiatives for technical colleges in the region to focus on O&G development. Why isn't UNIPORT and UST on the forefront of global oil and gas education, considering that even Norway that started in the 70s now exports first rate subsea tech and knowledge in other facets of the industry.
Bearing in mind that the sector breeds multiple linkages all the way from hospitality ( catering, hotels) to financial services to direct newly acquired capital flows to where they are needed the most. Even agriculture will not be possible without some key subsidies and assistance from the govt to the farmers, using the already gotten 'oil' cash. Personally I was disappointed with the GEJ administration the changes we were supposed to see didn't come? Brass Lng PIB Delta EPZ??billions of dollars belonging to posterity postponed for no reason.. The ND missed big time.

I agree with your proposition, it supports the affirmation that oil is a blessing if put into good use - something the pre-tempered PIB would have solve to a large extent. Yet, when we look deep into the current Nigerian social-political system, we would realize that such proposition will never work. The emergence of GEJ would have helped ameliorate the situation, but the Nigerian factor threw a spanner to all his perceived efforts. Had the ND been a semi-autonomous region then maybe we would have put those propositions into practice, since we suffer more from the side effects of oil exploration than other region.
However, as part and parcel of Nigeria we can start by doing the following:
1) Elect revolutionary and pro-NigerDelta leaders in all levels of state and federal positions.
2) Form a true Niger-Delta or LNC political party in the mould of Scottish National Party that has our interest as its main manifesto.
3) Stop for the next 10-20 years all oil related exploration in the ND, as a way of regaining our sanity, sanitize the system and lessen the burden of oil by looking inwards for other areas of comparative advantage. Watch out for those (both outsiders and their inside cronies) that would come and tell you we would die of hunger, we wouldn't because we are resilient, only the cancerous system will rot away.
My thoughts though!

Ogonimilitant:
let me rephrase it this way. Amongst the 3 major tribes which one has the interest of SS most. Let's take it from there

I hail from Egbema ONELGA Rivers:
The SE got my vote, they've proved their trust this past decade. Other people may differ, but this is strictly my own opinion. However to answer the main question, I think we are our own enemies. We are the chief cause of our problem. Thanks.

mikolo80:
WHERE DO YOU LIVE. how many diversification have you done in the ND

I'm from Rivers but by virtue of work I don't currently stay there. However, as a Niger Deltan I first diversified myself, starting from entrepreneurship and human capacity building. Brains moves the world. Let's start from there. *winks*

talktimi:
There is no need stating the fact that the Niger delta region is the goose that lays the golden eggs which feeds Nigeria. There's also no need stating the obvious that the Niger delta lags way behind developmentally when compared to other regions or like their fellow oil producing peers in other parts of the world.
It is a sad fact that most of our political office holders and appointees (governors, commissioners, NDDC board/chairmen, Niger delta ministers & officials, Amnesty office etc) failed the region especially during an era of unprecedented oil boom and this is evidenced by the almost complete lack of basic infrastructure for citizens.
Our political leaders have clearly failed us but by our tenacious nature, we do not cry over spilt milk.
So I ask, what then is the next step ? Where do we go from here ?

Your contributions are needed please as this is a very serious matter and valid suggestions will most certainly be acted upon. Thanks

We are the architect of a large percentage of our problems. Our overdependence on oil proceeds for survival has made many of our youths lazy, not to talk of our various states. Many people are satisfied with the crumbs gotten from the amnesty allowance that they no longer see the bigger picture. What happened to looking into other areas for sustenance. Why not we diversify into areas we have comparative advantage, like tourism, agriculture and human capacity building. If I had my way I will suggest we put a stop to all oil exploration activities in the Niger Delta for the next 10 years pending when we truly co-opt our economy from oyel reliance to something meaningful that we can all be proud of. If the Ogoni can shut down oil exploration activities and still survive who says we can't. If Cross rivers and Imo can key into tourism as it major earner what stops others from doing likewise. Oil is a curse to the blackman. The Arabs and whites made good use of theirs to better their lives. But for us, it has become the cause of our current misery and underdevelopment. Had we not found this curse who knows the height we would have soared in fisheries and oil palm plantation. We would have overtaken Malaysia in every index of development.
The bottomline is that oil has no future for us, take it or live it. It may for the crawling giant of Africa, who as parasites have made oil their future and it is by that false hope that the weak unity of this country is built. Our region is only but that carrier who is continually raped dry to keep that fake unity intact. So, let's stop basing the Niger Delta struggle on oil consciousness. Let's look inward.

OrIandoOwoh:
Just asking. So my brothers in port, pls answer

Nothing has started. Even from now till Buhari tenure ends.

OfoIgbo:
You must have wrongly imagined you wdre dealing with an uninformed Igboman.

The Southeast secretariat printed two booklets during the course of that conference.
The smaller booklet has 71 pages, which clearly listed the SE standpoint. The cover is red, and I have it with me here.
The bigger booklet has a blue cover and it has the Igbo aspiration, the eventual decisions of the conference and how the various geopolitical zones voted on the several issues. My copy of this booklet was given to a good friend of mine, but I will attempt to get another copy, and hope they are still in stock.

Now getting back to the red book, pages 18-20 deals with Igbo standpoint on Fiscal federalism, and below I have quoted verbatim three points made by the Igbos

I. The federating units collect revenue accruing from their zone, including revenue from oil and other minerals, and remit to the federal distributable pool, an agreed percentage, 50% is suggested.
II. The central government retains 40% of the federally collected revenue and contributes 60% to the pool
III. The distributable pool is shared between the center and the federating units in an agreed formula. It must be appreciated that with its powers and functions whittled down the federal government needs less funds while the federating units are saddled with heavy responsibilities of citizen welfare.


So from the above snippet, Igbos championed fiscal federalism but once again, Yorubas followed their masters to gun it down

I see facts here.

aldrick:
No reasonable niger delta (south south) would love to be in a country(biafra) were 45% of its population is of one ethnic group (igbo), Coupled with the accusation already placed on the 45%(igbo) on marginalisation and various attempt of colonising before and during the eastern region government of the other 55% (South south), whereas the 55% is more developed infrastructurally,culturally with a better economy,political success, larger land mask e.t.c than the 45% (igbo). Now when ever the 45% (igbo) hear or read anything about the 55% not been part of biafra but to be on there own as niger delta republic (for only the south south states) the 45% (igbos) kick against it with its fullest strength even when this 55% (south south) were never biafrans as 98% of its population coupled with its traditional leaders reject the biafran offer by the 45% (ojukwu) and sided the nigeria state which led to the killing of millions of the 45% (igbos) but yet this 45% (igbos) are still kiling themselves on the 55% (south south) who do not even care about them (igbos) as no group,forum,organisation be it traditional or political unites them togther, but yet this 45% (igbos) have failed to quit there quest on acquiring the 55% (igbos) to there biafra, the most painfull thing is that the 55% (south south) have deep hatred for the 45% (igbos) to the point that some ethnic groups of the 55% (south south) do not marry nor sell lands to the 45% (igbos) the question is why are this 45% (igbos) so desperate about the 55% (south south)??

You this big for nothing Yoruba cow claiming Ikwerre you'll soon meet your waterloo. Keep spreading this your outdated propaganda. What happened to your former moniker? Where you busted or what?

MASSOB has finally picked up their lost voice.

Ioannes:
i think another logical question to ask is why do igbos hate yorubas so much as u can see from their response so far.
as far as they are concerned yoruba is the reason why they are not making progress as a people, yoruba is the cause of all the evil that has befallen them from time immemorial. yet they load marco polo buses everyday and head to yorubaland for sustenance.

the igbo psyche is puzzling to say the least.

they say yorubas are cowards, yet their biafran army was routinely routed and defeated by the nigerian side led by a yoruba, while their commander in chief abandoned them to their fate and ran off.

they say yorubas are dirty yet aba is the dirtiest town in nigeria.

i could continue but whats the point. they revel in their hatred. their hatred of yorubas and buhari gives purpose and meaning to their lives.

they continually lie to themselves that they are the chosen race and if not for the "yolobas" their gully infested land would be paradise.

well i doff my hat to the yoruba tribe that can hold down such a "mighty and god chosen" tribe like the igbos.

the igbos unconsciously feel that since they hate the yorubas then that means the yorubas must hate them with equal venom.

not so. what does it take for the yorubas to start a pogrom to wipe out the igbos in their midst? nothing. cos there are very few yorubas living in your non productive land. so no fear of retaliation.

the more you hate the less productive you are.
yorubas dont hate you. and am sure buhari doesnt hate you, he probably despises you. lol.

give it a rest will you. and i wish you all the best in your quest for biafra.
(expecting insults and curses).

Daft. While I don't advocate for violence I still believe many Yoruba's have blinded themselves from reality. There is one thing I noticed about the Igbos, and that is they don't wish death or genocide on anyone or ethnic group. Igbos are reactionary when it comes to the use of violence. They replicate in double fold any violence meted out to them, even in the backyard of their assailants. The Aba, Onitsha, Owerri, Asaba and Sabongari counter-riot which was in retaliation to the killings of Southerners during the Sharia crisis that rocked many parts of the north is good testament of this. Only the Hausa/Fulani had tasted the anger of the Igbos as far as conflict is concerned in Nigeria. However, with the way most Yoruba's are shouting this genocide thing these days, it is advisable to tell them that they should watch what they wish for. Most Yoruba's feel that after their phantom genocide is carried out in their SW (if they suceed in Lagos) that their people in the S/S will go unhurt. That is where they lie, because blood is thicker than water. A genocidal conflict will wipe off no trace of the Yorubas here in Port-Harcourt. From Calabar to Asaba none shall be spared. Even the oil servicing workers. This is the gospel truth that many loud mouthed Yoruba bigots are oblivious of.

Whynotthetruth:
Did you advice Buhari, APC and co about this before they assumed power who fought Jonathan from day1 in office and even celebrated boko haram, insulted our military and office of president

Did you advice other APC(CPC, ACN then) folks who celebrated anything against Nigeria under Jonathan?

Hypocrisy is a sin too...Ochejoseph will be daft to fall to such blackmail as yours and others who just discovered the word patriotism because its their own now

Tell them brother. APC thought they were damaging GEJ's reputation with their hate filled opposition to his government. They never knew they were setting a very bad precedence to opposition politics. Buhari and his co-travellers are in for it. This is just the beginning.
End Note: Buhari is a big Idiot. Let someone call the Police.

mrvitalis:
Is stay in Port Harcourt and I tell u.... ... .. the ijaws don't like us the igbos. ....

That's not true. Say what you know. I'm a Rivers man and I put it to you nobody hates the SE Igbos. Not after the moral support they gave us during the militant struggle that led to the emergence of GEJ in 2011, as well as their block votes in 2015. The distrust decades ago was as a result of propaganda sustained by folks like late Saro Wiwa and other elderly political figures.

Wonderful submission by HRH Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. Nigeria is sitting on a time bomb. But OP why don't you post the whole article of that speech rather than just this excerpt. I suppose that speech was given in 2001 or thereabout.

A storm is approaching.
Hope Sai Baba can handle the impending doom.

forgiveness:
Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones was born September 14, 1973, in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.[10] His father, Olu Dara, is a jazz and blues musician of Yoruba descent[11][12][13] from Natchez, Mississippi. His mother, Fannie Ann (Little) Jones, was a Postal Service worker from North Carolina.[14] He has one sibling, a brother named Jabari Fret who is best known as "Jungle", a member of the hip hop group Bravehearts.

As a young child, Nas and his family relocated to the Queensbridge Houses in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens. His neighbor, Willy "Ill Will" Graham, influenced Nas's interest in hip hop by playing him records.[15] His parents divorced in 1985,[15] and he dropped out of school after the eighth grade.[10] He educated himself about African culture through the Five Percent Nation and the Nuwaubian Nation.[16] In his early years, he played the trumpet and began writing his own rhymes.[17]

Nas is not a Yoruba neither was his father. His father a jazz musician was renamed Olu Dara by an Ifa priest when he toured Africa. There is a difference between being an Afro-American of slave fore bearers and being an Black American immigrant of Yoruba extraction. His case is different from that of Sade Adu and similar to Eddie Murphy and Tupac Shakur.
Just here to burst some Yoru-Wikipedia lies.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaar! Tigers.
Let's win this for once.
I see you Oguchi, give me those 3 point dunks.

omonnakoda:
The reason we are in this situation is because Eboes hijacked Jonathan's presidency as an opportunity to settle their perceived scores with Yorubas.That was the last opportunity for unity in the south and so Yorubas now know they can NEVER work with Eboes.Sadly the North wins from this disunity but that is how it is

If this is true, then you guyz should be ashamed of yourselves. Is Jonathan an Iboman? Didn't the Ibos leave the speakership position for you? Even when they settled for just Minister of Finance and other executive appointments what major position did they held from the Top 4 position (President, VP, Senate P
resident, Speaker HOR, Chief Justice of the Federation).
The CBN governors was a North/Westerner the Accountant General a S/Westerner and Minister of Petroleum an Ijaw.
The military and paramilitary were northern dominated. Except for the Ministry of Defence, Chief of Air staff and Comptroller Gen of the NSCDC which were Yoruba, the Igbo held just Chief of Army staff. The IG of Police, Customs, Immigrations, Prisons and all other top military brass were Northerners. The SSS Director and Chief of Naval staff were South/Southerners.
Where did you hide your voice when the north hijacked the GEJ presidency? Why put the blame on the Ibos. Or are you afraid of speaking against your northern masters.
Chai! Ibos don suffer for Nigeria. Why do you always see the Ibos as your dick measuring contestants. No wonder you folks tried all your possible best to pull down the few Ibo ministers with your media propaganda.e.g Stella Oduah. Now, I see why the Ibos call you cowards and noisemakers
The Ibos are not your problem, search for your problems.

kingdompropty:
It no longer news that we have a sectional president. A president that have only given the whole south 25% patronage leaving out one of the worlds 10 most populous ethnic group the Ndigbos.


I feel sad when people like the quota system professor talk about the north been marginalized under GEJ even though they held the following offices then.

1. VP.

2. Senate president.

3. Speakership.

4. NSA.

5. CDS.

6. CNS.

7. Customs CG.

8. Immigration CG.

9. Police IG.

10. NNPC - Andrew Yakubu.

11. NPA .

12. CJN.

The list is endless.

If Mr. Buhari can convince me that we don't have competent hands down south then I would rest my case. I don't believe all southerners are rogues as they would want us to believe.

Even individuals that played hatchet roles in the evil days of a maximum ruler is been compensated in this government. What an irony.

The trend I see recently is that of divide and rule. Even the most vocal chanters are beginning to loose faith in this government. Unless something urgent is done all the goodwill they have managed to build will fizzle out.

I urge our leaders in southern zone to begin to speak out urgently disregarding party or ethnic affinity. Some saw this early enough to raise the red flag others asked for more time and understanding. I think as the saying goes a stitch in time saves nine.

APC as a part must begin to build themself into an institution as what I see is a scattered party. Like the igbo will say- church onye mere nkeya meaning a church without leadership, from Saraki to Dagora to Mr. President no one understands the other.


Ministerial list would be out in a few days, up until this time no member of Mr
Presidents team can talk about any qualified individual, while this is good I believe we have on the extreme end a DICTATOR in the making.

Google translation failed you this time. Get it into your head? The bridge for a southern solidarity has long be blown, no thanks to you Yorubas. I and my people from S/South have nothing to do with you guys politically. You will hear from us in 2019. Revenge is sweeter when served cold.

Who are the SS? You are already in a fraud called nigeria. You are the one in a mirage because you should be thinking of how your country will get out of the daily mass killing,corruption and a collapsing economy. Nde ishi oji!

IPOB Youth

Some of you are illiterates and big fools who don't learn. That is why no one takes this your secessionist plans serious. No sensible easterner will include the middle belt tribes into their future plans. Forget the useless 'they are wiser now prank', unless if they willingly vote to join through a referendum. But their best bet remains in having their own middle belt republic. You fools should learn to choose your priorities right, stop fantasizing about meaningless things and stick to the serious business. Especially, the selfish fantasy of the bolded.

Israel is being over-rated with their military capabilities. It's so funny that many are under-rating the Iranian forces. Iran Military is less equipped comparing to IRGC!
The IRGC forces are ready for martyr, and they voluntarily joined to protect the interest of the Country, their religion and Spiritual Leader.
I've been following Iran Military developments quite a while, and this is a Country who is fully capable of producing military hardware and software respectively. Name it; they are good and capable in the air, on the Sea or Land!
I think those who are condemning Iran Military Capabilities should sacrifice little MB to research on their military capability status; bet me, they wouldn't come back and under-estimated them again.
If war breaks out today between Israel and Iran (God forbids), as Ahmadinajadi, their immediate past president once said, Israel will no longer appear on the World Map!!!

And they were completely outclassed by the Iraqis in the 80's. Where were the so called IRGC martyrs when their country was on the verge of defeat. Saddam proved to the world that the Iranians were only but noisemakers.
The truth is that the strength of the Iranians lies in their terrorist cell. When it comes to a conventional ware fare, you don't wanna joke with the Israelis.

Henry120:
Israel had overwhelming U.S support both in the Six Day and Yum kippur war.

I doubt you know anything about the Israeli/Arab six day war you mentioned. For your information, the Arabs (led by Nasser's Egypt) where heavily backed by the USSR. How they were easily defeated under 5 days is just pure military superiority.
