Actually, Gowon is right.

There is a very long and interesting description of how Nigeria and Biafra fought for oil receipts in the territory's. To cut a long story short, the problem was at the time, the monies from oil sales were paid in London, not in Nigeria or Biafra....and there was a struggle for the thing. It's described in 'The Brothers' War by John de St. Jorre

In the end, Nigeria 'won'.

The Minister of Transportation, Sen. Sa’idu Alkali, has said that freight waggon haulage on the narrow gauge from Lagos to Kano will begin in the next three months.

Alkali disclosed this during his visit to the Kajola Waggon Assembly Plant in Ogun on Tuesday.

He said the railway corporation was using standard gauge to carry cargo from Lagos to Ibadan. but will begin the operation from Apapa to Kano in three months.

Alkali said that the Federal Government had already fixed the narrow gauge from Lagos to Kano and will now get some locomotives and waggons to take containers from Apapa and move them to Kano

“Once we evacuate containers from Lagos, we will use the narrow gauge to move them to Kano,” Alkali said.

After visiting some of the railway facilities, the Minister directed the Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), Fidet Okhiria, to look into the cleanliness of the coaches to enhance patronage on the railways.

Okhiria, on his part, said that the Nigerian Shippers’ Council, being the port regulator, and the former Minister of Transportation set up a ministerial committee headed by the former Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Transportation to look into freight charges.

He said that the purpose of the committee was to ensure the smooth operation of freight rail.

“The impact on NRC is that the terminals are charging $60,000 per container for moving the container to waggon freight, which is still higher than the movement on trucks, and the Shippers’ Council is working on that.

”The terminal charges are high because of the double handling; presently, moving cargo by rail is more expensive than by road but is faster.

“We are looking to see how we can do it; we have a minimum operational cost, and we don’t need to go and borrow money to buy diesel; that is why we are starting the freight rail movement of cargo handling now,” Okhiria said.


He said that NRC had begun the freight rail movement from the port pending an order from the Minister to reduce charges.

Okhiria said that NRC was operating rail freight with the narrow gauge before now but stopped due to security issues.

He said the corporation would use a month to repair all the vandalised tracks on the narrow gauge, adding that the management would assemble all the waggons and service them before putting them on track.

Okhira said that NRC had about 120 narrow-gauge waggons, as the Federal Government had been proactive and the corporation had placed an order through the China Civil Engineering Construction Company.

Pakute:
Do these ibo kids know the meaning of conscription?, why are you senselessly justifying the wickedness of your forefathers?. What your forefathers did to the SS minorities was no different from Bokoharam kind of conscription in the north, a walfare methodology of Terrorists. You forced people against their wish to fight and die for your selfish purpose, using the minorities as cannon folders. When Adaka Boro was fighting for Ijaw republic, did he conscript ibos or any other ethnic minority?.
The audacity of ibo kids to come in here to rationalize the dehumanization and brutalization of the minorities is beyond words. We thought your forefathers were wicked but it has shown that the little generations after are even much worse.

opamoses1:
Delta and Ondo state were both under the Western and later midwest region, and were never part of orginal Biafria map drawn by ojukwu. You now wonder what Ojukwu was doing conscripting people in ughelli, Warri e.t.c.

They are now even braver and have decided to annex the whole of the Niger delta into Nnamdi Kanu/Simon Ekpas version of Biafria.

Ngozi123:
What is the difference between the old Eastern region and Biafra?

As for the bolded, that's the whole point of conscription. Many European countries had it during the first and second world wars. The US had something like it during the Vietnam war. Did you hear them accuse Catholics of forcing them to war just because John Kennedy ws the president at one point?

Ngozi123:
If, as a northern Christian, he is siding with Igbos then he must know the importance of the Igbo for Christianity in Nigeria.

Christian Igbo-haters, take note.

Ngozi123:
This isn’t what conscription is...

And the next time you want to talk rubbish about me, have the balls to mention me first. OK?

ResidentSnitch:
just a good look at this pathological liar from Ebola clan. You don't know that you've desecrated your grandfather and mother with your lies. You could as well have defecated on their graves.

gidgiddy:
How do you capture people and force them to fight for you? So I capture a person, give him gun to fight for me? That person will just turn the gun on me

Bendeco2020:
Your grandfather may be victim if the biafran soldiers sees him as a saboteur.

Even the saboteur among the Igbos were also captured and tortured.

Bendeco2020:
The guy is simply saying the truth. Mind you he is a northerner.

Is Reno Mentally Okay ?

How would Ojukwu capture his own Eastern Region? Even when his second in command (Philip Effiong) is from Akwa Ibom.

Ngozi123:
Saying that Ojukwu captured Eastern minorities is like saying Winston Churchill captured Scottish people. It makes no sense as they were already under his control.

Most of the men that made up the Biafran army were conscripts, meaning they were forced to go to war. Igbos and non-Igbos alike.

Iamgrey5:
Ishekiri is not Eastern minority.

Odin13:
You the funny daft Reno keep exposing his foolishness ..

So How did Ojukwu capture his region.. the eastern region..

Does he need to capture a region that’s already in his control

You see illiterates and ignorance is what’s Reno is using to feed his gullible?

Was there oil during the fight .. that’s was used in commercial quality?

History truly need to be back in school.. federal government that banned it .. are not igbos .. they did to hide truths ..
Visit NDA and see pure truth tabled about the civil war .. but can’t leave that environment because of fears of tomorrow..

Yet Reno is feeding the gullible with propaganda and semi foolishness

But who cares .. z
Because even the foolish being abusing and cursing will be ashame wen truth surface someday

It will surely surface ..


Igbos has made Reno gone mad

Reno has left his calling as pastor on top igbos

Reno has left his political fortune on top igbos

Reno has left taking care of his family on top igbos

Reno has killed his sleep on top igbos

Reno nugget is dead .. on top igbos

Reno has Been reduce to a full blown madness on top igbos

Nigerians please pray for this erudite son of ishekiri .. before he commits suicide

.. suicide because all he’s rants and in his rant can do nothing to those God has blessed .. because they will keep rising rising and shining in every quarters .. but what happened to ishekiri tribe .. where are Dey today?

You see when digging a grave .. be careful.. you can never know go enter

If all Yoruba propaganda against the igbos for decades didn’t stop them ..

Wetin the tiny Reno fit do..

God bless Nigerians
God bless Nigeria

Because you are first class citizen like Hausa,Yoruba and ijaw

It is class warfare.

When you are hated, it means you have something someone is jealous of.

Following this ATIKU FBI and Chicago endless case why are Yoruba's/PBAT supporters not threatening Fulani's never to enter Aso-Rock again.
If is Obi doing this the entire easterners would have become enemy of Nigeria that will never rule Nigeria till Jesus come, why the selected hatred?

joggler:
LOL. Dangote is not a business man. Without govt influence and patronage he would be no where. He cant compete favourably with other market forces.

He was into pasta and noodles but sold out the company to Indomie because he couldnt compete favourably.

What about his DANA foods and beverages? He chickened out and sold to Chi Vita abi na Chi exotic

Govt patronized him and gave him ridiculous rates in dollar exchange while other enterpreneurs suffered.

How many times did he write to FG to whittle out his competitors in business? Ask BUA cement how far!!

How about his sugar company?

Cement in other African countries na between 1500-1700 but for Naija na 5k. The man na wicked fellow.

He was sole importer of several items but when the embargo was lifted to allow other marketer get involved he jappa

i pray JAGABAN focuses on revamping the refineries make Dangote just the Negedu.

In his mind the refineries would not work so that he would dominate the petroleum industry..
