The best news today in Nigeria is that the real south south (Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta) are beginning to assert themselves. It's only a matter of time before the lairs will run out of lies. . Oil is going, going ,

tpia.:
oooh, interesting!

Care to fill me in on the details, braino?

ikeyman must be very proud people are taking his fables as gospel truth.

That's black people for you (especially Nigerians)- sound a gong somewhere and they'll bear arms without necessarily knowing what they're fighting for.


Just give them any cause and watch their zeal.

Herd mentality par excellence.

I shall never see this great country divided because of Bia-failed and I pray God should reciprocate with every last one of you (your bad wishes for Nigeria). If you don't do amen, I do it by myself. Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!         



Pa Anthony enaoro (an enemy in disguise, when they need helps from Westerners that is when you see them. He came to Awo's rememberance in AOU, he just showered eucomium of the sage and later came up with self-determination. Let's just assume, they want to immortalize Awo, he would be the first to object. Igbos are no good) wants self-determination in his backyard. It’s high time, his menopause ravaged old folk wants to have a pregnant.
Biafailed, you cannot break down this great nation on us, the worst should be you living Nigeria and go back to Sahara or Israel where you claimed you came from.
We have been cheated a long time and will lean with it, so you can to slow down your agitations too.
Because, government has discovered Oil Or Oyel like you called it, in the east and now it’s high time for your self-determination?
Now, no more cocoa proceeds, it has shifted to Oil preceeds, the whole Nigeria shall be benefited from Oil, just like they did to Cocoa proceeds.
Resources distribution took this form. Of the 100% income accruing to the regions that were to retain 50%, thirty five percent redistributive income after polling together so that the regions without a good resource base could benefit, while 15% was to be polled together to run the centre. In the following analysis, we will see how the Hausa/Fulanis have withdrawn 98 % to the centre.
SWIFT ALTERATIONS:

This era saw the beginning of the deliberate distortions of the popular constitutional arrangements between the federating units agreed upon from 1953 and 1959.
First to come under the hammer was the revenue sharing formula. From the 50% revenue accruing to the regions according to the derivation principle, the new military regime removed 5% and added it to that of the Federal government in 1967. The government divided the regions (which had become four as a result of one additional region fraudulently carved out of the west in the heat of the Western regional crisis.
By 1975, Muritala Muhammed seized power from Gowon. Knowing that the Federal civil service was dominated by the Yorubas, because of their early exposure to Western education, 10,000 civil servants were sacked in a day. He equally ordered the removal of the Federal capital territory from Lagos, a Yoruba city, to Abuja in the north. Radio and television stations, which were established by the regions were also taken over. The same fate befell primary and tertiary institutions. The Federal government under Muritala said it wanted to ensure 'uniform" development. He took over roads and all health institutions which were in the care of the west. The first stadium of international standard built in the 1 950s in Ibadan by the Western regional government, which was also the first of its kind in Africa was taken over. And under the guise of the centre having enormous responsibilities in her hands, Muritala removed a whooping 20% from the remaining 45% revenue accruing to the states from derivation.
Under a new economic arrangement, another staggering 20% of the remaining 25% revenue accruing to states from derivation was removed. Shehu Shagari ran the economy aground within four years. The Buhari succeed coup’s regime could not understand why the states still had "so much" percentage of the derivation revenue in their control. Of the 5% derivation revenue remaining with the states, (three and half percent) was taken, leaving a paltry (One and half percent) for the states.
Your chicken has come home to roast. After Niger Delta is formed and Oil is discovered. I guess Ijaws are ready to say Bye-Bye boo to Biafra; if the worst comes to worse, the little Igbo extractions who were living on the edge of river Niger to the west- under the influence of Ijaws and Edo (would pack and join Onyegbo in the east.

look, i didnt say am dating a married man! i dont even have a boyfriend, single or not. that's because i dont think i need 1. i'm not a lesbian either, GOD FORBID! i'm a graduate with a wonderful job and other priorities, of which a man is down below on the list. but i think that for someone to date a married man, she must have reached the age of accountability and she knows exactly what she's doing. every thing we do in this life is done out of a choice or choices that we have made; and she has decided to do that. you can't stop someone who wants to do it, she knew it was bad before she decided to do it.and so, let her continue in it, her choice. and for the girl dating a single man, be independent. infact every woman should be independent of a man. but the guy being the "stronger sex" should be sensitive enough to give her gifts which include money.
