They're not only low in just oil production...

You claimed they were more productive than my state so I am asking you to state here how much they produce internally?

If you know it is less than Kano's internally generated revenue, or simply don't know, then you can flee from my mentions with your tail in between your legs.

QuotaSystem:
I already could tell you were an exceedingly ignorant person from your first question to me. I bet my existence that you are totally clueless about the value of those commodities you tried to undermine on the international market. Commodities that will last the test of time even as the world rapidly moves away from fossil fuels.

Coming back to crude oil sef, you no dey shame to raise hand among oil producers in this country? Typical case of a snail that thinks itself a horned animal

Now since you've turned yourself to ambassador to Anambra state, can you please tell us how much the super-productive state produces? The challenge stands.

QuotaSystem:
You should answer that question yourself.

My state produces leather, limestone, hides and skins, sesame, soybean, cotton, garlic, gum arabic, groundnuts and chili pepper among others and would continue to be the mainstay of the economy if the FG was not distracted with the easy money from crude oil.

These economic activities still remain the reason the NW generates more revenue than the southeast to this day. Kano is economically productive enough to build the longest flyover bridge in Africa while others are waiting for FG to complete a less than 1km phantom bridge for them. Should Amadioha not strike your mouth for calling my state unproductive?

Now you see why I was livid about a less productive parasite pointing fingers at their betters.

QuotaSystem:
A nyamiri calling me unproductive and parasitic...are you raving mad or just plain ignorant?

I am from the North West and the revenue generated by my state and Kaduna alone is greater than all of your 5 south east combined.

Imagine an unproductive parasite like you whose state depends on federal feeding bottle opening his rotten mouth to call his betters 'unproductive'. Wonders shall never end. I challenge you to present what your revenue your state generates here and shut that akpu hole forever.

Better do some research before you come to disgrace yourself here again. Ignorant miseducated ipob yoot.

What is this bmc zombie talking about?

I'm very sure Anambra has vast reserves of palm oil.

When will you folks learn the bitter lesson that Buhari has shown interest to contest for 2nd term and it takes a man of Atiku to take him head long for anything Buhari can come up with. Atiku is the only Northerner for now that can split Buhari's influence in Northwest and Northeast.

Hurlarzan139:
Thank you bro

MaziOmenuko:
I still wonder why the NA has not defeated these rag tag group already. It seems we have decided to micro-manage the situation rather than flush it out. I believe we have enough military hardware to engage them once and for all and flush them out. I believe a lot of conspiracy is going on and the military is enjoying the fight and prefers it continues.

A single armed unmanned aircraft systems can raise hell much more 4 of those aircraft available. What do they use it for? To ferry vip's to owambe?

Let the military declare a one week operation on sambisa. Inform all locals, hunters and farmers to vacate the area. Move in with tanks and caterpillars and level the place. Involve our neighbours to watch the borders in case of fleeing terrorists. Use heat sensors from those aerial aircrafts to locate their cells and extinguish then all.

But then, what do I know?

madridguy:
So there is no budget for the NA? I think it's time you take your malaria drugs.

LIKE LEAH SHARIBU, LIKE AMASA FIRDAUS

If Amasa Aljanatu Firdaus is a Muslim fanatics for refusing to remove her hijab and risk being denied the call to the Prestigious Nugerian Bar then Leah Sharibu is a Christian fanatics for refusing to adorn hijab even at the risk of her life! Like Leah Sharibu, like Amasa Firdaus. Amasa Firdaus decline removing her hijab, Leah Sharibu decline wearing hijab! Leah Sharibu decline wearing hijab putting her life on the line, Amasa Firdaus decline removing her hijab putting her 18years dream and ambition at risk!! Leah Sharibu decline wearing the hijab and risked being eliminated! Amasa Firdaus decline removing her hijab at the risk of loosing the privilege of becoming a solicitor and advocate of the Supreme Court, Leah Sharibu decline wearing hijab at the risk of regaining freedom from her abductors!! Leah Sharibu decline wearing hijab damming the public opinion, Amasa Firdaus refuse removing her hijab not minding what would be the Public Comments! Amasa Firdaus insist on wearing hijab not bothered by what wil be the reactions or feelings of her Parents, Leah Sharibu would not wear the hijab even if she would not meet her parents again! Leah Sharibu would not wear the hijab because to her it is against her religious inclination, Amasa Aljanatu Firdaus would not remove the hijab because it is not allowed for a matured Muslim Lady to go out without hijab! Amasa Firdaus would not remove the hijab even at the threat of terrorist, Leah Sharibu would not wear the hijab daring the dreaded Boko Haram! Amasa is not intimidated by the terrorist, Leah is not perturbed by the presence of the devils progeny!

But unlike Amasa Firdaus, Leah was unanimously sympathized with irrespective of religious affiliation or tribal jingoism, And worst unlike Amasa Aljanatu Firdaus the President and the Nigerian Government were interested in Leah Sharibu's release!!

What is the offence of my sister? Why was she not sympathised with by the President and the Nigerian government? Why cant Mr President also make a proclamation or even promise that Amasa's case would be resolved, why is it that our dear President is still silent over Amasa's case can't he realise that Amasa is the Siamese twin of Leah? They both did the same thing, and commit the same offence!! Why will he support one and leave the other to her faith? This is unlike a good father! If Leah Sharibu deserves the attention of Mr President and the sympathy of Nigerians, then Amasa Aljanatu Firdaus should be called to bar without further delay.

#Like Amasa #LikeLeah.

I pray God return our so dear Sister Leah Sharibu safely back from the abductor's custody and make justice reign in this our dear country for somebody like Amasa to be given their constitutional right.

Clear your hatred then u will understand

MrBigiman:
From Okpara, to Isiokolo, to Kokori and to Orhoakpor, those towns remain the most backward, retrogressive and non productive Urhobo Town. Ufuoma which is minutes away from That town can boast of Yoma hotel, Mama-B bar and sign of life. Ethiope East excluding Abraka, cannot boast of a single relaxation spot. Instead they behead innocent strangers. Judgement awaits all of you if u don't repent!

koning:
I don't like the tone of your response. Nevertheless, you are entitled to your opinion. My comment was based on Wikipedia's info about the Okpara people. According to Wikipedia, they hold the same meaning, even if pronounced differently.

There are many dialects of the Igbo language. If Igboid tribes can be located in as far away as Southern Cameroun and Equatorial Guinea, I do not see any reason why they cannot be found in our backyard of Urhobo clan . It is too much of an 'accident' to name an entire community 'Okpara' with exactly the same meaning as 'Okpara' in Igboland.

You use the moniker "Igboid". Do you really understand what 'Igboid; means.

fratermathy:
Agbon doesn't even share any border with Igboland. Like someone said above, it's highly likely that Igbos came to Agbon and Urhobos went to Igboland. Words can emerge from anywhere. They may be Urhobo words which were ferried to Urhobo land or vice versa. The point being that there are as much Igbo words in Urhobo as there are Yoruba, Ijaw, Itsekiri, Bini, etc and vice versa.

Odingo1:
Are you sure that this Okpara people are not Igbo people that deny their been Igbo as a result of the civil war because every name mention in that articles are Igbo names, maybe their names will be Obinna, Chiamaka, Ebere, Kachukwu, Amaechi etc like Ikwere, Agbor and others that speak Igbo, bear Igbo names, Igbo market days but some maintain that they are not Igbos.

If you check this Okpara people now you will see that their market days are Eke, Oria, Afor and Nkwo and they will be bearing Igbo names but be claiming Uhrobo.

shekauvsbuhari:
there is nowhere the OP said he made a mistake, so stop ranting. As for china n Japan, I would advise U that anything a people are worshiping n still their lives are backward n poverty-stricken generally, that thing should be shoved down the toilet; and this ur dumb edjenu is one of them. What makes U think I am an african?

fratermathy:
Yes. So many people told me of the reduction. Unfortunately, I can't edit the original post so I had to make a note in my second post.

Eke40seven:
All these people brainwashed by people worshiping desert dieties.

Apparently, you don't understand a word of Igbo then..

Okpara is same meaning. "First son" or sons of the land, etc

Eñi mean elephant too
To break your heart, every single term mentioned in the article is as Igbo as Igbo can be.
I am however, not claiming they are Igbos or not but saying those words or the language ain't Igbo just shows your lack of knowledge of the language.
What of "Okereke"? Even the word "Edjenu" and "Isiokpor".....
And please don't argue except you understand the language very well and familiar with all the dialects.

shekauvsbuhari:
so you are aware and in support of ur people beheading strangers and giving their heads to some dumb epileptic god. You are celebrating it on nairaland and want tourists to come there.

Odingo1:
Okpara
Eni
Isiokpo

shekauvsbuhari:
OP 1976 to 2018 is not upto 50 years. You said its celebrated once in 50 years and the last time it was celebrated was in 1976. All of you from that kongdom including the dumb shrine you are worshiping in a nuclear age need to get back to nursery school to learn simple arithmetics.

Odingo1:
Are they Igbos , the name of the village, the masquerade and other names sound Igbotic.

MrBigiman:
Okpara has nothing, Isiokolo is a dead local government, Kokori is filled with blood sucking jobless uneducated cultist seeking to spill blood at the slightest instance, Ovu behead strangers. The only part of Ethiope East with some measure to life is far away Abraka, and that life was brought by strangers. St Francis Hospital in Okpara has become an Eye-sore, no meaningful business will thrive there. Ethiope East as a whole needs spiritual cleansing, their hands are soiled with blood and no meaningful progress can come out of that place.

NabeelAbu:
I seek refuge in Allah Taala from ascribing partners with Him. Worship the only true God.

MrBigiman:
[s] Very wicked set of people. Going further down from Okpara is are the Oviere and Ovu people, those behead strangers to apease their gods during their festivals, I wonder which well meaning government will Identify with such atrocity. Ethiope East is probably the worst LGA in the world, having Isiokolo as it's headquarters. The LGA office is taken over with goat and sheeps, no activity goes on in that place, transport facility is almost nonexistent, except few lazy Okada who close before 8pm. The people are so retrogressive. Their girls Bleep strangers however almost free of charge and sex is more like the food they eat. [/s]

[s] ...Nigerians on this forum have been known to call fellow Nigerians who are not same tribes as them monkeys and more demeaning and umprintable names so hypocritical criers here should shut up cos if they were Isrealis or European they will be worse..

You guys were celebrating Trump when he pronounced Jerusalem for the Jews.... Ironically most of u do not know that Jerusalem is 65% Arab Muslims,15% Arab xtians and 20% Jews....

prolog2:
you are calling the british masters, so I guess you are their slave.
An ijaw guy talking again.
When will you people finally go to school and learn rather than trying to debate those who have actually learned ?
"Paranoia" ? Let me inform you that there are actual written traces of what I am talking about.
But, why border talking about facts when an uneducated guy can just start denying everything and throwing the word "paranoia" around ?
I bet you don't even know what the Benin Kingdom is and that you confuse it with Benin City (it's capital).
For your info, Delta-state and Edo-state are parts of the Benin Kingdom.

Nowenuse:
Thanks, you have said the truth.

It's not as if northern minorities have never been fighting for their rights.
Before Independence in 1956, the United middlebelt congress officially petitioned the Willinks comission to create an independent middlebelt region for all northern minorities. The stupid white man completely ignored the petition.
There were the Tiv riots in 1964 against Northern region inclusion, but they were masaccred back into submission. There was another strong Berom movement in Jos around the early 80's.

The 3 greatest factors that have fought against the complete liberation of northern minorities was religion, language and effects of Indirect rule!
The British radically promoted the spread of Hausa language during colonial period. This adoption of Hausa language made most northern minorities develop some soft spot and sense of false unity for the Hausas and this made them feel they were somewhat one people with the hausas binded by one language and destiny. Not until the deceitfulness of this union became glaring for all the minorities to see.

Many northern minorities converted to islam and this further cemented their ties with Hausa-fulanis. The false propaganda of islamic brotherhood and oneness and it's dangerous effects. A propaganda which the fulanis have been masters at using. If the fulanis could subjugate a tribe as large as the Hausa using religion, then rest assured northern minorities are no match.

Lastly, the effects of Indirect rule. Take for instance Southern Kaduna, a place with over 90% chrisitian population, yet all their traditional leaders were Fulani muslims from Zaria, not until some years ago when they all violently pulled out of Zaria emirate rulership and today they have their own chiefdoms. Prior to the revolt, Fulani muslims were representing them in all traditional ramifications and affairs. You can imagine that. How could such people ever be free? This was one major reason why they were never included in the old Benue-Plateau state, as they were considered a property/territory of Zaria.
A lot of northern minorities are still suffering this colonial effect till date and are still being ruled by fulani emirs, many have pulled out, but many are still under.
We in Plateau for instance they wanted to force us under Bauchi emirate fulani islamic rule, but our fathers heavily rejected this and we were granted our own province and traditional institution since colonial period.

Lastly, after Yakubu Gowon created the first 12 states, most northern minorities now had their own states and controlled their own states, so they saw no need for any more fight for middlebelt region. Middlebelt identity was heavily promoted by many Benue-Plateau leaders in the old Benue-Plateau state for instance, not until successive military rulers divided the states more and brought back geo-political zones (North central) to increase Northernization.


You Bendelites were very lucky if you ask me, Yoruba people are not very much interested in dominating minorities, unlike Igbos & Hausa-fulanis.

If not for the civil war that liberated the Eastern minorities from Igbo grip. Igbos dominated and subjugated these eastern minorities in their own lands.

Take Omoku town in Rivers state for instance, till now they do not sell lands for Igbos over there. Apparently they claim that it was because of what Igbos did to them over there during the old regional govt. They claimed that Igbos controlled their town, dominated everything there and even ridiculed them the natives over there, until they were liberated during the war.

If not for the civil war that displaced Igbos from PH. The entire PH was heavily dominated and controlled by Igbos. Ikwerres, Ijaws & Ogonis were not even a factor to consider. .... PH would have been completely Igbonized and under firm Igbo grip by now. Ijaws, Ikwerres and Ogonis would have been displaced inwards into the hinterlands, if not for the civil war.

Cross River has it's own story too. ...
Southern minorities had just been lucky compared to northern minorities if you ask me. And this was largely because the British were on the side of the Hausa-fulanis throughout colonial period.
