Why do Ibos love attaching themselves to South South?

Is it because of their oil, since Ibo land has no resources?

South South people have said severally that they're not part of Biafra.

I tire for una.

georgeakins:
Leave South South alone.

It is you Ibo people that introduced bitterness and hatred to Nigeria polity in 1966.
Ibos are a naturally bitter and hateful tribe
The Nigeria should quickly be restructured and Ibos should be forced out to go and form biafra

Desusi:
This may be an individual personal opinion. The implications would be that home made foods like local rice that have hitherto gaining popularity would now be less demanded.Apart from this,there would be less demand for similar home made materials whether of clothing, building etc.ln this regards,the gained of past years of self reliance would go into drain.However, the masses would be relieved of hunger and things would seemed fantastic but at long run economic will suffered. Ladies and gentlemen,self helped is best helped.

Those unfortunate children of hate don’t even know that Yoruba language is the medium of communication in Emir of Ilorin palace

AuschwitzPrefec:
Ilorin is a testament to why multiculturalism is bad.

Ilorin is now firmly part of the Sokoto caliphate owing not to the sole credit of Fulani invasion, but the treachery and treason of the Yoruba Muslim, who put his adopted foreign religion above his own race and empire.

The ridicule emanating from the Ibo towards the Yoruba losing Ilorin started with an infamous speech Zik made in which he subtly took a jab at the Yoruba by alluding that "ibo land has never been conquered by an outside force" and from there Zik went on to claim that his own people will conquer Nigeria via trade and migration , describing his people as a termite horde fleeing their red mount to spread across Nigeria.

It is important I make some clarifications on how Ilorin was lost and not to an invading force but through the treachery of the indigenous Muslim population .

And be that it may, it is also important to state why Ibo land remained unconquered by occupation of an invading force.

A simple glance of a map will show you why Ibo land remained unoccupied especially by the Fulani jihadist.

To the west lies the great and mighty Bini Empire that the Fulani jihadist dared not invade.

To the north of iboland lies the powerful warrior kingdoms of Igala, Tivi and Jukum.


These mighty kingdoms were a buffer zone that isolated and protected Ibo land from the jihadist Fulani.

If these states did not border Ibo land, the Ibo would have been speaking Awusa and practicing Islam in today's world.

Congratulations to the young, hardworking lad.

Not quite sure the N100 million amount is accurate though, for a number of obvious reasons

ganisucks:
High octane NONSENSE. Pure RUBBISH!!!

The great grand grand grand son of King Jaja was there.

On a head count how many southern residents speak Yoruba compared to another language?

SW speak Yoruba

Igbo in Lagos speaks Yoruba

Other SSners in Lagos speak Yoruba

Igbo in other SW states speak Yoruba.

Foreigners residing in SW speak Yoruba

Beremx and princeoflagos and other Igbo nairalanders speak Yoruba

Ilaje and Ijaw outside SW speak Yoruba

80% of Igbo leaders speak Yoruba
having lived or schooled in SW

Every Southern person who listens to Afrobeat speaks Yoruba.

Most slangs adapted into speech today emanates from Yoruba. e.g 'soro soke'

Beremx:
Oga Lateef which kind lie be this na? Yoruba mostly spoken in SS? Who told you Igbo people who have lived in Lagos speak Yoruba in the SE? I speak Yoruba fluently but I have never spoken it outside Lagos. Who do I need to communicate Yoruba language in my state of Imo?
Fear God o!

Kenneth4u205:
Fulani

SwissMass:
Even millions of igbo and other tribe refuge in Lagos and south west are now speaking Yoruba

Ikaeniyan0:
Broken English, Yoruba and Igbo.

LegendHero:
I kinda like this.

We must make sure Yoruba become the second official language in the South as a whole.

Ever since I watched the Netflix documentary “Bigger than Africa”, I just suddenly got this extreme proudness in me for being a Yoruba man.

Afro beat language is already Yoruba, why can’t the whole Southern Nigeria adopt Yoruba as the second official language?

aremubabs:
Do you have proof that one man earns 50% of Lagos revenue?



The only thing I agree with you about is that of excess greed and selfishness.




In South Africa, if a community has a billionaire, you will feel his impact on that community even if he doesn't live there all the time. Community service is prioritized there.




But in Nigeria, you might see a muddy road leading to a community which has two or more billionaires. For example, the road leading to Peter Obi's village.




We have more billionaires than any other African countries, but our billionaires are only concerned about their own family, and the ones who are showing concern for their community members or kinsmen are those preparing to go into politics.





But all this does not mean that population is not also a major problem. Because we don't produce much, we are unable to sufficiently feed our teeming population. Demand is way higher than food supply, and this creates demand-pull inflation.




Also because we import far more than we export, factoring in raw material and import cost into our goods, we create cost-pull inflation for ourselves.




We also don't gave good managers of resources like we had in the person of Obafemi Awolowo who saw to it that Nigeria fought the Biafran war for 30 months without borrowing a single penny.

The Chief Executive of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), Mr Gbenga Komolafe, on Monday disclosed that Nigeria’s gas reserves will last the next 94 years.

The NUPRC boss spoke at the opening of the 16th Nigerian Association for Energy Economics (NAEE) Annual International Conference in Abuja, themed: “Energy Evolution, Transition and Reform: Prospects for African Economies.”

Komolafe stated that Africa with its vast sources of renewable energy has the potential, with the right leadership, reforms and adequate financing, to easily transit to the use of other cleaner sources of energy in the nearest future

Nigeria, and indeed other African countries rich in hydrocarbon, Komolafe said, are gradually shifting their attention to the use of natural gas as a major source of energy, while continuing in the exploitation of the oil resources/reserves which for now remain the major sources of revenue for the government.

He explained that oil and gas will continue to guarantee energy security for Nigeria’s massive population estimated to be 200 million.

“With a reserve base of 36.97 billion barrels of oil and 208.83 trillion cubic feet of gas which represents 33 percent of Africa’s total gas reserves of 620 TCF, Nigeria can be described as a gas rich nation ranking number one in Africa in reserves with a life index of 94 years,” he added.

The commission’s chief executive stated that the endowment presents Nigeria in a dominant position in the entire Africa gas market, explaining that Nigeria has the potential to ensure sustained supply of natural gas across the sub-Saharan region of Africa, if the necessary financing and infrastructure are in place.

The Petroleum Industry Act, 2021 (PIA), Komolafe said, has brought about significant reforms in the Nigerian petroleum industry, noting that the Act has also engendered the much desired reforms aimed at ensuring the rapid development and effective production of Nigeria’s gas resources by providing very attractive fiscal terms for investors.

“For instance, the Act provides for lower royalty rate for domestic gas (2.5 per cent). To operationalise the Act, the commission has also developed key regulations and initiatives that will ensure accelerated gas exploration and development to deepen domestic use for industrialization and export opportunities for enhanced revenue generation,” Komolafe said.

Zandena:
Between MURIC and these Israelis designated idolatry religious bigots who is truly a bigot?
A state with a Christian-Christian Gubernatorial ticket with the governor trying to gaslight Muslims with his attendance of Eid wants to add Salt to injury by perpetrating more injustice to the Muslim community in the state.
Will Christians, even being the minority in the state, accept a grossly unfair appointment in favour of the Muslims in the state? I'm sure if the nomination was in favour of Muslims, the Terror-filled CAN would have promised fire and brimstone by now!
MURIC is the best human rights organisation in Nigeria today. Without MURIC, Nigeria would have been turned to idolatry kingdom!

Afamed:
Damage control.

It's really difficult to change a born bigot

It's built in the Pandora fraud
