In Anambra, many oil wells are yet to be touched.

No need to argue or brag with people from that region. We Anambrarians knows how rich we are both in natural and human resources.

Enough to build another ultramodern seaport in the south to help decongest apapa and tincan and ease transportation of imported products to other southern and northern states, thereby reducing prices of goods in the market, but the Nigerian government is never interested in whatever will make the lives of the common man easy.

Akinola Aguda was used by Arewa to recommend that Lagos was no more fit to be capital of Nigeria. Abuja was born. It was shortly after the civil war and Yorubas held the Nigeria civil service then.
Most of the Yoruba civil servants and businessman who lived in Lagos moved over to Abuja chasing oil money.
Easterners fresh from the ruins of the civil war stayed behind in Lagos to eke out living.
These easterners contributed a lot in taxes and development of landed property in Lagos thereafter. Crude oil money also developed Lagos
What does this Commissioner mean by trooping in and messing Lagos up?

Hahajajajhahahahah

This is child's play compared to what is happening in this country. Let's wait for the top man to recover from his substance overdose hangover before we talk of what to do.

Konquest:
For those who don't know and are NOT historically conversant of archival materials, as of 1870 when Jaja and his group fled the 1869 Civil War in Bonny, what you call Opobo today was ORIGINALLY Ibibioland NOT Ijawland. It was the White British trader friends of Jaja who saved him from extermination when the better armed war expedition of Bonny Island came for him where he fled to, otherwise Jaja and his group from the Anna Pepple house who fled from Bonny in 1870 would have been wiped out completely. Opobo (which is originally part of Ikot Abasi) was given out on lease by the Ibibios for Jaja and his group to stay with his group who fled from Bonny.

The current Opobo was later carved out right into Rivers State in the 1970s [The South Eastern State which was created by General Yakubu Gowon on May 27, 1967, was renamed Cross River State in 1976. Then the merger of Opobo to Rivers State was fully done in the year 1976 from Cross River State while the larger part of Opobo (Ikot Abasi) remained as part of the larger Ibibioland] otherwise Opobo in Rivers State would have been located in Akwa Ibom State today. Opobo indeed is an ancestral hybrid OR mix of people of Ijaw, Ibibio, and Ndoki bloodlines. Jaja was originally a slave (who later underwent the Ijaw initiation ceremony or rites to transform into an Ijaw after he was set free in Bonny) but in reality he is ancestrally of Ibo roots. Jaja was actually a very ruthless and wicked man who prevented other upland tribes and more (the Ngwas, Annangs, Ibibios, etc) from trading directly with the British traders down the river routes and this led to the Ikot Udo Obong War with the Annangs who resisted him. He had a lot of people from other tribes publicly beheaded in bloody circumstances and this is one of the reasons why the British colonialists removed and deported him in 1887 because he was just a middle man Chief who wanted to dominate the trading activities to the EXCLUSION of other tribes along the Opobo (Imo) River. He died in 1891, 21 years after first fleeing to Opobo (Ikot Abasi) in Ibibioland.

So, Opobo was known originally a part of IKOT ABASI as of 1870. Jaja was originally from the Umuduruoha clan in Amaigbo, in modern-day Imo State but was SOLD into slavery (I watched a serialized Maxwell Enemuo documentary years back where some folks claimed it was Jaja's slave trader father who sold him into slavery based on some likely Ibo abominations) and was brought to Bonny in Ijawland to be sold off to the infamous White slave traders right in Bonny. The Aros and their confederacy gangs such as the Abam and Ohafia who followed them on several slaves raids in the Ibo interior brought these Ibo captives to be SOLD to the Ijaws of the coast at Bonny who then acted as middle men and sold these people from the mid-1700s to the 1800s to the American, British and Jewish slave traders. Also, the place called Arochukwu of today is itself originally Ibibioland (with an original Ibibio name) BUT as a result of a series of wars that occurred between 1690 and 1720, the Ibibios lost full grip, BUT you will still see very strong vestiges of Ibibio religion, cultural traditions, Ekpe society, language, style of dressing, cuisines and more on the people of Aro till today. Some family lineages in Aro also have direct Ibibio ancestry and Ibibio names.


I hope that helps.


Read the iconic book: "History of Nigeria" by Sir. Allan Burns, who was the Governor-General of Nigeria and the Gold Coast (Ghana) to read more advanced information about the Ibibio origins of Opobo (IKOT ABASI) as of 1870 and Jaja's greed and wickedness to his fellow men because he wanted to monopolize the middle man trade to the exclusion of other tribes in the words of Sir Allan Burns.

Nteogwuija:
Those people were born foolish. Even with this map, they'll tell u that Opobo is not there. How u want take explain Ibani to them?

helinues:
They will suspend him soon

He doesn't know his priorities as a senator

benuejosh:
Jonathan's administration messed everything up in this country but thank God for the sharp intervention of the APC government.

Thank God for Buhari and now Jagaban Borgu, the President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu. We are now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Things are beginning to work well.


Note:
Before you quote me, tell me why Nigerians voted a sitting President out!

Nazgul:
I don't understand this menace of herdsmen across the south.

Is it that southern governors are scared of banning them or what? Why not declare open grazing illegal and arrest and deport herder grazing openly in people's farms.

The north has the biggest landmass in the country, yet they'll leave it and come to our 5 plots to graze. Isn't that madness. Land that we're barely managing.

Truth is I don't understand how a sitting governor would fold his hands and do nothing while herdsmen kill, rape and kidnapp people across his state. Unless there's something they're not telling us. I sincerely believe that there's something southern governors aren't telling us.

EKONGKING:
Promote this one, as this is far beneficial than a stupid Fun city .

Obiedun:
Imposing crippling sanctions on Tinunu or Nigeria? Imposing crippling sanctions on Nigeria will affect both Christians and Muslims. We don't need any crippling sanctions now. Imposing sanctions on Tinunu himself is unfair. Tinunu has no hand in killing Christians and he will never support it. His wife and children are christians

Never go against the government! You can never win!

Even Nelson Mandela said in “LONG WALK TO FREEDOM” that,

“As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.”


The government will fvck and refvck you.

So, it is now a situation of "Your Life" or "Your Land"?
See how dumb you sound?
there are tons of solutions already proposed, but people like you are too "willfully blind", to read and understand them.

- State/Local Policing is one of the solutions or is an AK 47 the same thing with that Sonda Stick that is used for rearing cattle?
Where else in the World, do they use AK47 to rear Cattle, apart from Nigeria?

- Ranching is a Private Business, Govt should "hands-off" it but rather, anyone who wants to ranch, should approach a bank and secure a Loan (which the Govt can guarantee, as an incentive), buy Land and set up a ranch. This is how it is done in Brazil, USA, Argentina, Netherlands and other Countries that produce a millions times more Beef, than these Terrorists our Govt is cuddling.

- Govt should focus on providing access, by means of Rail and Roads, to farms, be it a cattle ranch or Crop farm or any other Animal Husbandry, like a Pig Farm and let the Farmers use it to transport their "farm" products to their designated Market.

- It is the duty of Govt to provide Security to tits Citizens and destroy Terrorists, not bow to their wishes or connive with them, while putting the life of law-abiding Citizens at risk, in the process.
Govt Security agencies should be alive to their Work, that is why we pay them with our Tax.

I can co on forever but l am sure people like you are so fixated on licking the anus of these Terrorists who use AK47 to terrorize others, under the excuse of Cattle rearing and you sill still tell us to bow to the terrorists, by giving them our Lands or be allowed to be slaughtered by them.

Asking others to surrender their Land to terrorists or get Killed, is not a solution to this Insecurity, it is a defeat of the Govt, by these Terrorists.

Tesla is done already!

You not safe driving that in Europe or America at the moment.

Trump’s publicity does not appeal to the sets going after Elon.

The best thing Elon can do now is to sell it off . He is cause of his problems.

People don’t hate Tesla, Elon they hate.
