why would the ouster of someone cause so big a worry. so in the event she loses her life(No I'll intended) , what will happen then. If the program is well established and entrenched, it will still go on as smooth as it ought to. it's about building institution and not personalities to a larger extent. my opinion though.

You say this then turn about to say in another thread that buhari is the only savior of Nigeria today.Make una dey fear God ooh.

ArodewilliamsT:
This revelations raises more and more questions. Did MTN pay the bribes to powerful people in government? How did they manage to hang on?
He mentioned Lagos and Delta, Who was the governor then in lagos? Why is he walking free while Ibori is in gaol?
There were allegations that MTN paid a certain percentage 'kickbacks' to the President (OBJ) on *1* to stay afloat, why was it swept under the carpet?
The halliburton scandal also comes to mind, OBJ the then president was implicated there as taking kickbacks, why is he not standing trials?

questions, question and more questions.

fx45:
Why is James Ibori in jail while Tinubu is currently a Field Marshal of the ruling party?

$9m was initially demanded as bribe.... Ibori's share was $4.5m. The other half was for who? PassingShot, do you have an idea who must have taken the other half?

Do you need to ask?

Do not ask passing shot and his gang of merry apc cool-aid drinkers that question, he/they will either point to some political character from the south-east or the south-south with some allegations of corruption to answer failing which he/they would immediately develop amnesia. ,go blind and deaf at the same time.

We all know that Obj and Tinubu both have plunged their filthy phaluses into the swarmy hole of corruption that is the story of the telco business in Nigeria.

Those who know know and record it which is why sometimes i have no respect for the US and the UK still giving that idiot (Obj) space to show his face internationally when they have detailed records of his corrupt ridden existence .

As for Tinubu, that thug instituted a regime of state sanctioned robbery in Lagos using thugs barely able to communicate in English our supposed lingual franka and the consequence of which is escalating but we all act like his tenure was the best thing since sliced bread (a generation of agberos who have now come to know easy money by extortion) goverment extortion with the money hardly used by the government in providing the needs of the people.

Logical man, stop trying to justify what is wrong, the writing format, the choice of words is biblical, let his and your conscience judge you and FYI,

someone drew a cartoon that does not even look like Mohammed, the artist just wrote Muhammed and several people died, so let him write the epistle of bubu starting with salamua leikum and write it like a surah turn you'll understand what I mean

Telling you marafaka that when you twist the words of the Bible for your own pleasure ([size=18pt]something you'll never try with muslims[/size])

Bible provided a special curse for you and the words of God liveth

First of all are you trying to say that the Muslims are a bunch of irrational,unreasonable ,reactive and rabid fanatical folks because that is what that excerpt from you post implies.
If that is not the case you then sir are one of those people in the world who communicate to the section of Muslims who fall into this category that their behavior is justified.
Secondly the Bible says whomsoever adds or removes from the words that have been written will have so so and so punishment agreed but you may be so shallow to not notice that the Author of this post did not rewrite ANY PART OF THE BIBLE .He did not change add or remove any thing written in the Bible from Genesis to the book of Mathew to the book of Revelations.He did not ascribe the reported words of any of the characters in his work to any one listed in the bible.
All the writer simply did was to write in the style and language pattern that the interpreters of the Bible did if anything you have shown your self up to be an ineffectual, illogical,reactionary and quite jobless (i must say) fellow

when I said I am finding it difficult to read the Op,you still had to quote it?

Ambode is a liar! I don't think he has realized that elections

Fashola is still the governor of Lagos in my heart. His
legacies will forever be remembered.


Ambode,o ti bo rara! You're jonzing!

Beremx:
he is not doing anything in those areas. Fashola's legacies are still evident in those areas you mentioned.

I thought he said he has re-awarded contract for the rehabilitation of Ejigbo axis of Ikotun-Ejigbo road,why the delay in the take off of the contract?

Ambode is still jonzing! He's still living in Fashola's glory. He's not serious with governance.

Maybe what you have posted up there is the truth and nothing but the unvarnished truth but isn't it ironic and interesting at the same time that these same comments so completely and correctly describe the current administration of Buhari so far but you would rather deny that or use illogical arguments to appropriate the achievements of the previous administration for the current one.
Ashe Ambode predecessor bashing and publicity stunts dey pain you for body .

The "Love " of the rat that blows a soft breeze on your feet while biting off a good chunk of flesh.
For some people to be so foolish not to look beyond their noses is an unforgivable crime,one for which they will answer to their children and children's children,those that survive the current and stealth campaign of ethnic cleansing currently ongoing in the middle belt.

The Acts of King Bubu son of Hari Chapter 2: 1-32
1 And when the son of Hari the cattle rearer had become King over the people, he made a decree saying thus, “O good people hearken! Behold I am your King now. I am beholden to no one and I am beholden to everyone. Thou shall no longer call me Emperor, but thou shall call me King Bubu son of Hari. And lo, I shall not tend to the provinces in which nine score and seven in hundred stood by me same as I would tend the province in which only five in hundred stood by me. For different measure shall I apply for different people.”

2 And when the people heard his decree, they murmured among themselves saying, “Surely King Bubu son of Hari would pitch us one against the other.”

3 Whereupon King Bubu Son of Hari appointed Warlords from five provinces of the land and named them commanders of men, but he would not appoint any from the province east of the big rivers inhabited by the Hebro, for only five in hundred there stood by him to elect him.

4 And King Bubu Son of Hari appointed, from among his kinsmen and townsmen in the land of Almajirite and other provinces, men to serve in his palace and as right hand men: butlers, town criers, principals, chief scribe, councilors, quarter masters, house masters and several others, but he would not appoint any from the province east of the big rivers inhabited by the Hebro, for only five in hundred there stood by him to elect him.

5 But the people from the province east of the big rivers inhabited by the Hebro were not persuaded for they do not cower before man nor tremble before kings for their works speak for them. Thus did they address King Bubu Son of Hari the cattle rearer, “We cast our lots as our spirit led us in favour King Jonah son of Locki. Lo, we shall do same again if called upon!”

6 When the people lamented and said to King Bubu the son of Hari, “O wise King, may your reign be peaceful, and may you defeat all your enemies and bring prosperity to the land. O good King, you swore a covenant with us saying : ‘ Make me King in place of Jonah and in 100 days, and I will rout She-cow and his gang of terrorists from the land, feed yours little sons and daughter daily in our various temples of learning, and make our cowry equal in value to the mighty dollar! And your able men, I shall give jobs in our orchards, and ten thousand silver coins to those without work.’

7 “O good King, we have kept our part of the bargain, fulfill your vow, that you may be free from the bond of the covenant. O good King, kill She-cow and bring back our daughters and appoint also Masters to oversee affairs of governance.”

8 And the Keeper of Treasury also spoke and sayeth to King Bubu Son of Hari the cattle rearer thus, “O good King, I give cowries in exchange for dollars and dollars in exchange for cowries, that the mighty dollar may not completely overshadow our cowries, and ruin our trade with neighbors and kingdoms beyond the seven seas. Pray, O good King appoint ye Masters of Coins and Master of Trade that I mayest counsel with them to help with our cause.”

9 Wherefore King Bubu Son of Hari the cattle rearer answered and said unto them, “O good people, I did not promise to do a thing in hundred days. And as for the Masters, there is none worthy and holy as I am. Lo, I continue the search for holy men amongst you. In the fullest of time when I shall find them, verily I say to you I shall appoint them as masters for you.”

10 Now the house - Alliance of Protected Crooks aslo known by their initial - APC, was the most deceitful house in the land and several vile men swell their rank. Their banner has an insignia of broken broom held by a filthy hand.

11 Liar son of Momed speaks for them.............Lair the son Momed is said to have been born with a lying tongue.

12 He it was who spoke to the people saying “Lo good people, our great King Bubu the son of Hari body language has improved our power; his body language has done more in six weeks than Jonah the son of Locki did in six years. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad O good people for surely, King Bubu son of Hari’s body language will bring food to our table, oil for our lamps, and fix our road, and defeat all our enemies.”

13 Oshi the son of Omole, lover of exotic maidens also bear their standard and sometime speak for house of Alliance of Protected Crooks. Yet he knoweth not whence to speak and when to hold his peace.

14 Oshi the son of Omole it was who spoke to people saying, “O good people, the household of Emperor Omanman of United World, had told me the names of those who looted our treasury and carted away at least six oxen full of gold coins and precious gems. Whereupon the household of Emperor Omanman rebuked him saying, “Begone! We know not know what that sayeth for thou speaketh untrue words. We gave you neither name of who nor the number of oxen of gold coins carted from thy shores. Pray, tell wherefore did thou hear this great tales, that we may inquire and enrich our knowledge.”

15 Roch the sly fly , son of Cha [/b]also also fly the standard of house of Alliance of Protected Crooks also known APC. He broke ranks with his kinsmen from the land of the Hebro. And when he had returned from the journey to the United World to visit Emperor Omanman, he caused several giant tapestries depicting his handshake with Emperor Omaman, with King Bubu Son of Hari the cattle rearer to be commissioned.[b] Roch the sly fly , son of Cha hung the tapestries in the city square with a message saying, “Behold what I have achieved, the new face of prosperity!”

16 Now there are other vile men in Alliance of Protected Crooks including[b] Fanshi the son Olar [/b]who among others used several bags of cowries, much more than usual, to dig well for water in his official abode, and several more bag of cowries, again much more than usual, to tell the world what he did!

17 Amec the swift, son Chyi is another vile banner man of Alliance of Protected Crooks. He it was who took from his kinsmen treasury and gave several bags of cowries to the cause of King Bubu Son of Hari the cattle rearer wherefore Bubu become king.

18 And in those days, She-cow,......addressed the people saying, “I am She-cow the terror; the one who was, the one who is, and the one who is to come. News of my death is a lie told to deceive you King Bubu Son of Hari the cattle rearer and his Warload. By Hallah, you shall serve my god or become my slave, or I shall annihilate you.”

19 Now the commander of King Bubu men of war is a fearsome Warlord. He is called Bura the snake charmer, son of Tyia. When Bura, the snake charmer, son of Tyia, heard the word of She-cow, he flipped his cloths, push his chest up and down to show his muscles and mass of flesh. “She-cow and his band of brigands are noise-makers and cowards,” he declared, “I shall crush him, and all who stand with him.”

20 Then Bura, the snake charmer son of Tyia and his men ran around the city seven times, so that the people may know that they are strong and many in number.

26 When King Bubu the son of Hari saw and heard all these, he was distressed. But he would not name himself Master of War even as She-cow and his brigands continue to kill, maim, pillage and take captives and spoils even close to his palace. Now King Bubu Son of Hari the cattle rearer would not make himself master of grains, tubers and cattle even as he possess great skill at cattle rearing.

27 But when King Bubu son of Hari saw the abundant milk and honey flowing in lands beyond the big rivers, King Bubu was exceedingly glad. "Lo, I shall appoint myself Master of Milk and Honey. I alone shall decide how the cows are milked and how the honey is shared for I alone is worthy”, he proclaimed.


28 And when the time had come, King Bubu Son of Hari the cattle rearer unveil #thelist of men whom he had found worthy to serve as Masters over the people.

29 Now these are some of men King Bubu Son of Hari the cattle rearer chose as Master over the people: Amec the sly son of Chyi who looted his kinsmen treasury. Fanshi the son Olar who among others used several bags of cowries, much more than usual, to dig well for water in his official abode, and several more bag of cowries, again much more than usual, to tell the world what he did! Another is, Liar son of Momed who bore false witness against many, and he uttered many lies - great and small to the people of the land.

30 Many were men who wine and dine with King Jonah the Able son of Locki, and some were the vile men who had sought safety under the banner and fold of Alliance of Protected Crooks known by the initial APC.

31 And when the people saw #thelist, there was loud outcry and gnashing of teeth in the land, and several people rented their clothes and put ashes on their foreheads to mourn the death of change! And they asked one another in loud groan, "What manner of change is this?"

This is the dumbest senate since 1999. It's not the business of the Senate with which ministry the President deploys a minister to. Did the Senate under Enwerem, Okadigbo or Wabara screen Obasanjo when he was the "Minister of Petroleum?"

For years you and your ilk have lamented that the the procedure for screening ministerial nominees was a farce as there was no information indicating what responsibilities the nominees were to discharge to allow the senate access the capability of such nominees to discharge those responsibilities , now you change is here in a senate dominated by the erstwhile opposition no less determined to to things differently you say they are the dumbest.
The constitution specifies that the only executive function the president can perform is to discharge the office of the president of the federal republic of Nigeria no more ,no less if he tries or does indeed cows the senate into backing down, he will be challenged in court.

PointB:
Good news. Work in progress. Part Two of this would be available few days from now. What would you like to see? Make a wish!

I can hardly wait just get it published and let me enter a week of scary bouts of laughter and saddness.

I'd like to see your portrayal of the currents administrations (non)response to the escalating activities of boko haram, the portrayal of the escalated murderous activities of the fulanis , adding kidnapping to their already bloody resume of death and destruction, the continuing saraki saga and the ministerial list screening drama as well as the portrayal of the midget with tall lies and his confrontation with the ordinary commissioner.
I could go on and on and on if you let me....

Ilekeh:
Both of you need to stop addressing the non significant. Be civilized.

In fact it wouldn't be a bad idea for you both to log off.

That's why northerners don't take these kinds of thread seriously.

Imagine a national protest turning into a Yoruba/Igbo vendetta.

The idiocy of those individuals and many like them, they have never understood the term clear and present danger.We each [igbo and the yoruba] may have roughly equal populations with the fulani & hausa in Nigeria but because we have chosen not to act when the hause-fulani misbehave(which really is all the time in our nations history) we have allowed the hausa-fulani to build a momentum that even now seems unstoppable and why because acting will require us mutually working with each other and setting aside (even if its for a miserable moment) the grudge between us that NO ONE between the two have killed each other for.
When has ethnic violence or the sort broken out between the two in all the history of Nigeria?
I do not mind if they trash talk each other to death (or try to anyway ) but for the love of GOD, get over yourselves for just one miserable moment and do what needs doing.
Personally i hold Azilkiwe for the misfortune of the igbos today but i blame the igbo's and yoruba's for the decrepit state of Nigeria.
The two groups have the combined education and capacity enough to have taken a stand and drag Nigeria to a level where we might despise each other but we all follow the set rules WE ALL (every ethnic group in Nigeria) agreed to.
The scotts and the english probably hate each other more than we do but they have co-operated for almost two centuries because the worked their terms of agreement out.

Ilekeh:
@ mayoroflagos

Thanks for this thread. I'd type more but I'm on mobile.

Essentially, I think Yorubas do not call out Fulanis as a tactic to annoy igbos and to not acknowledge that the igbos were right about these menace called Fulani herdsmen.

It's time to ignore those thoughts and to address the main problem from the root.
Be it violence or diplomatic. It's obvious that our politicians are too selfish and greedy to diplomatically address these demons.

Either we, as the citizens, force our politicians to do the needful by restricting Fulani madness to the north or we take an eye for an eye. Fulani Herdsmen are not educated, they only understand the way of the old. They're not civilized nor are they diplomatic. They kill without remorse .

If fulanis are so different from Fulani herdsmen, why aren't fulanis speaking out against these animals?

Calling out the fulanis is exactly what every other group should do and for the Yoruba acknowledging that the igbos were right does not have to and will not take a hair bit from them.Most of the south south have made that same realization and acknowledgement and you did not see the igbos jumping to the moon saying i told you so.
Ok i wont kid myself to think in the case of the Yoruba it would not happen but the igbos will tire of gloating and then work out an arrangement with every other group to see this clear and present danger deservedly dealt with.

The post below is particularly applicable in this matter.

Shymm3x:
The fact that you applied the use of "brain over brawn" illogically shows you lack the brain and cerebral prowess for anything. You sound like an illiterate.

Pray tell how you would use ya brain after you have been hacked to death by marauding cow jockeys for absolutely no reason whatsoever? The only reason why you have the audacity to spout nonsense is cos none of ya family members is at the receiving end of such cruelty. If ya brother or sister had been hacked to death - you wouldn't be posting nonsense.

Are Fulani herdsmen the only ones who supply meat? Even if they're, is that enough reason to start killing folks everywhere all over their farmlands? They can keep their meat - there are always alternatives everywhere.

Just shut up...you and your ilk are the reason why Yorubas are treated like slaves everywhere. You lot have got the definition of brain and sophisticated all messed up due to stupidity and illiteracy. The masters of brain over brawn and strategy in the West know that violence begets violence - and you must never appear weak or vulnerable to ya opponents/enemies. That's how white folks have been able to dominate the world for a long time.

I have never liked you at all (not that it matters to you or me ) you curse a whole frigging lot but this POST among many others you have made on this thread is #GOD'S OWN TRUTH, i couldn't say it differently if i tried.
I may have misjudged you.
As for the mentally impotent and delusional sophisticate you were addressing it has never occurred to her/him(whatever) that in the event of a major blow up with the fulanis, over these killer herdsmen the south , (and i admit this with great reluctance) specifically the south west[looking at oyo state] , is in a position to compleatly spin a new economy of the situation:
IF BEAF MUST BE HAD, any agricultural investor who goes into modern ranching in enugu ,oyo ,crossriver with all that it entails will attain "dangote" like status in very shot order.
I am a systems and control engineer but looking at things from a technical perspective how hard can it be, if you can secure and cordon off something like 100-500 hectares.
Build a somewhat reliable power supply unit to run all the pumps for water used to feed and hygiene
Cross breed tse tse fly resistant cattle breeds [we are in 2015 darn it]
Make reliable investments/agreements with other farm to buy their maze output to complement forages[Plant material that livestock graze or that is cut and fed to them.] that they will have to source.
[After cattle are weaned (approximately 7-8 months of age, shortly before puberty), most continue to receive forages as a large portion of their diet. This is important to help their stomach continue to grow and develop properly. However, forages do not provide the high amount of digestible energy these cattle need to grow quickly. Farmers are able to utilize a number of feeds that are higher in digestible energy and lower in fiber – refered to these as concentrates
The concentrates feeds can include cereal grains (corn, wheat, oats, barley, sorghum), the by-products of milling or processing these grains (soybean meal, cottonseed meal. peanut meal), or by-products of ethanol or alcohol production (distillers grains). These feeds are more efficient sources of energy for the stomach in cattle, in turn making the animal more efficient in obtaining energy for growth, reproduction, or weight gain].

Raising cattle down south will require commitment to modern cattle hearing practice and will really be most feasible when the traditional source of beaf has been cut off but it is doable .

b4 they would be wiped out, it won't cause much harm to Nigeria. Trust me. [size=13pt]Even the Chinese that has all the military equipment doesn't want to got to war[/size].

You must not be very bright.
Because for the Chinese as well as the Nigerian government going to war will essentially wipe out the economy.
A war between china and japan will set the Chinese economy back no less than thirty years even if china were to win and when they do world trade will be totally closed to them by Europe and the US and the the anti china section of south east asia.
A war between between the government of Nigeria and south south insurrectionists in modern day Nigeria will more than wipe out Nigeria's economy ,it will almost wipe out Nigeria itself.
Think about it a full 65% ratio of our energy supply comes from the south south when you consider Nigerias current generated capasity of about 5000MWATTS .
That ratio grows instead of reducing if you consider the other locked in 5000MWATTS that already has been built but cant be commissioned for a multitude of reasons.
The only two sources that make a dent in this ratio are the Kainji/Jeba/shiroro dams and the new dam that the Goodluck administration started that would HOPEFULLY be finished in the last quarter of 2019.Between these dams they produce/will produce an estimated total of 3000MWATTS.

You are one of only a few who understand the point that Reno made in his article.
He just made a veiled threat to the north that now they have claimed that federal character no longer matters, they will in the futere be subjected to the culture massive competition for the best and the brightest that the south has always lived with and it is clear who will come off far worse in that sort of system.

The COMPLETE MISUNDERSTANDING of the point Reno made in this write up is the final proof i have that these APC guys lack Critical Thinking skills .

No apologies for that.

Yes i have and i honestly do not begrudge them at all, matter of fact i hail them but will you begrudge me if i point out to my people the strategies that the south west has used over the last four to five decades how those strategies have adapted over times and how the South East and the South South can take pages from the playbook and rewrite them for their own purposes?

You have no shame whatsoever! Thought Jonathan was absolutely corrupt and never did anything than steal the treasury blind! From where are you expecting the 300mw? to achieve your target...

I challenge you to name the power plants that will give us 5000mw next year or shut up permanently.

Bro he is correct in only one thing that power generation will go up to 5000 Mega Watts by the end of the year.That is the ONLY truth that his post contains.There is as we speak/chat, an Electricity generation capacity of 9000+ Mega Watts which can't come on stream because three major reasons:
[a]Existing power stations with all functioning generators being short of gas because of the gas pipeline vandals
[b] Newly completed power stations that do not yet have their gas lines completed and where they do problem [a] emerges
[C] Most of the new power stations can (could) barely evacuate more than a fraction of the power they generate.

It has taken most of the last two years to solve these problems

As the vandals for hire or i should say their Paymasters achieved their political victory on May 29th 2015 , Pipeline vandalism stopped instantaneously

Flets:
Someone needs to really explain how this community engagements as touted by this APC employee has been done

Who headed the engagements at the community levels as we have had no figure head in the power sector?

At what time where these engagements held and what pipeline host communities were involved?

How possible is it that a party of propaganda and media frenzy like APC will engage pipeline host communities and no one knew about it...... and it comfortably skipped the media houses

More than ever, every discerning mind will figure that APC was clearly behind the pipeline vandalism under the previous administration.

APC govt did nothing about it...... they just stopped their acts. By the time Nigerians understand the evil they have in their hands...... it will be too late.

The vandals are still available for the services of the highest bidder .

This post right there specifically the post in Red was why in their RARE MOMENT OF WISDOM buhari and his shadowy advisers settled on somebody as close to the south south as possible to head NNPC. It still does not get them in the clear various entities within the South South are watching and waiting for the full complements of appointments to be made and for the ministerial list to be unveiled and the nominees installed that will officially make the take off of this administration.
That last line in red will hunt the APC badly.I envision that as more and more electricity generation and transmission assets come on stream as a result of the plans and executions within the last five years,Nigerians will get so used to the near 24 hour availability power failure as of old would seem like a distant memory or some bad dream that point is when the vandals for hire will be commisioned .

Rotimi47:
Some people are too subjective and are more of a tribalist and these have affected their way of reasoning correctly; The South west media reports majorly the wrongs that happen in the South west so that it can be corrected, while other regions don't do such as they rather try to remove the dust in South west eye rather than removing the log of wood in their own eyes. The main reason why the South west is developing is 1. The foundation put in place by its leaders. 2. That is the most accommodating region in Nigeria, 3. They are slow to anger( they don't start destroying other tribes properties after every disagreement) 4. They have the best gate way to the sea. 5.Education etc. I can keep going on & on but due to time, I will say that it is very difficult for someone to really make great success if you keep holding to the past as such a person will keep getting into trouble one way or the other. Your past should be a motivation to a great future; it shouldn't stand as a barrier.

Whatever rocks your boat.

CSTR2:

A nation of unfriendly friends.

Please consider what i said and honestly tell me that i am wrong in my assessment.

I made this post on a different thread and i will say it again:

I like the protocol that the Niger delta activists have adopted beginning their agitation with an IMPASSIONED REASONABLE NON-THREATENING FACTUAL AND INTELLECTUAL manner.

The world needs to see that this is our first recourse in pursuing this matter .
The south west with its now arrogant control of most of the news outlets and multi media platforms would have loved the struggle to begin right out of the gate with violence then they would spin the story to all the world to support their long running narrative that multinational investments of any kind is only logical safe and guaranteed in the south west.

I can almost guarantee now that the next card they will play is to spin up disagreements between the different subgroups within the Niger Delta as to who gets what then spinning the story that internal struggles within various groups within the NG makes the entire location nonviable for investments.

Any South South or South East person who does not see the entrenched INSTITUTIONAL DUPLICITY of the south west by now is much more of a bigger fool than our parents were and you know i wouldn't call the old folks fools so much as i would call them extremely naive which coming right after the civil war might seem understandable.

I will spell it out in RED so there is no mistake about my meaning:
[size=15pt] THE SOUTHWEST IS DOING AND HAS BEEN DOING FOR DECADES WHAT THE NORTH HAS BEEN/AND IS DOING IN POLITICS:APPROPRIATE TO THEMSELVES EVERY OR ALMOST EVERY PLAN/OPPORTUNITY FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND INVESTMENT WHERE ITS POSSIBLE.[/size]

They (south west) have learned to use the media as a tool/weapon effectively so watch as they will seek to discredit the arguments presented by the agitators and where they cant logically defeat the case made by the agitators (a most likely scenario), they will do two things:

[1]Kill and bury any and every story of the issues raised and seek to bar it from the realm of National discourse and where that approach fails

[2]The media sections controlled by the southwest will massively turn their attention to the South South and to a lesser extent , the South East :every gunshot , every death , every confrontation between the security agencies and whoever , will be reported in great detail a pipeline will not burst without it being in the news circle for at least a week.Strategically and psychologically, the image they will try to evoke is of a region in chaos or precariously close to it.Not the place any right thinking business big or small local or international would want to invest in, regardless of the resource base or the advantages it has.

Omolaubis will put their money where ever they like.

Yes they will as is their right but the government of Nigeria is warned that if one Naira (i should say Dollar) of Nigeria's money is invested by the NLNG (that earns NEARLY ALL[80%] of its revenue from the South South) in that project in Badagry,there will be hell to pay simple.

I like the protocol that the Niger delta activists have adopted beginning their agitation with an IMPASSIONED REASONABLE NON-THREATENING FACTUAL AND INTELLECTUAL manner.

The world needs to see that this is our first recourse in pursuing this matter .
The south west with its now arrogant control of most of the news outlets and multi media platforms would have loved the struggle to begin right out of the gate with violence then they would spin the story to all the world to support their long running narrative that multinational investments of any kind is only logical safe and guaranteed in the south west.

I can almost guarantee now that the next card they will play is to spin up disagreements between the different subgroups within the Niger Delta as to who gets what then spinning the story that internal struggles within various groups within the NG makes the entire location nonviable for investments.

Any South South or South East person who does not see the entrenched INSTITUTIONAL DUPLICITY of the south west by now is much more of a bigger fool than our parents were and you know i wouldn't call the old folks fools so much as i would call them extremely naive which coming right after the civil war might seem understandable.

I will spell it out in RED so there is no mistake about my meaning:
