sirclemce:
God bless the visionary leader for his developmental strides he has brought to Deltans. Deltans will sincerely miss our dear Governor Uduaghan,but his legacies will continue to speak for him. God bless our visionary leader. Indeed you have finished strong.

with due respect sir I don't tthink you live in delta or u are from delta state

President GEJ could not have gotten Resource Control for oil bearing areas.

Nigeria's so fraudulently structured with subsequent lopsided political representation, such that any bill for Resource Control or Fiscal Federalism cannot pass through reading stage in the National Assembly, and may be thrown out of the Asembly windows.

Only solution for oil bearing areas to get what they want from Nigeria is by forming a large political block for negotiations.

Negotiation for either political concessions to mineral- producing areas, or referendum for peoples in SS and SE for secession from Nigeria.

That's where one buys the Lower Niger Congress initiative to group the SS and SE to pursue common goals.

But if people steering the Lower Niger Congress initiative eventually get bribed or blackmailed to give up, the SS and SE remains divided and continue to be screwed up by rest of Nigeria.

now look at what you just said...if GEJ had at least raised the issue as a bill to the NASS then one would have said he was serious but he never did telling he enjoyed the way the nation was, the bokoharam was enough reason for him to raise a bill for regionalism them go into adequate lobby...now with the issue of seceding I would welcome any ideal but not seceding with the SE if you are a true SS son neither would you want to secede with those SE guys bet me if we SS make the mistake to secede with them after few years we will start crying of another form of marginalization, sorry to say the igbos across Niger are not really what they appear to be....why didn't they support us when we first brought up issue of seceding?? I don't trust Ojukwu, I don't trust that name Biafra

Ezenwammadu:
When we said fuel subsidy should be completely removed you guys occupied Nigeria protesting like maniacs.Now the fuel subsidy is still being paid with no effective result especially in the sophiscated region that made the most noise

I beg to disagree with you sir, no sane govt will let her people suffer like this, you just can't wake up and say you would remove subsidy when there wasn't any alternative or better still a master plan, now imagine the subsidy were removed since 2012 till now we have no functioning refinery, fg promised then to make the ones on ground functional yet till 2015 nothing is working, now be honest and ask yourself if so fuel would have been selling foe 140/lit since 2012 till now?? let's face facts the govt wasn't sincere about the subsidy or making the refineries work, if they did they would have declear an emergency on that sector.....note this as long as the govt let those few people enjoy monopoly of importing refined products nothing is gonna work, why not withdraw the license of these people that you feel are the cabals or are they stronger than the FG?? when you want to support a policy you do so taking into terms if the govt really have you at heart.... there are many ways to handle this subsidy issue if we had a responsible govt

barcanista:
Again Sir, the Niger Delta does not start and end with the ambition of Goodluck Jonathan. Please take your anti-GEJ somewhere.

Whether our Governors or LGA bosses used their earnings to drink beer or not will not and cannot stop our agitation. All our delegates in both the 2005 and 2014 Conferences did not betray our course- That some politicians feed fat does not mean we should shut up!

see you don't get it, let's first know what we are fighting for, so what's your point ?? why didn't GEJ do the bidding of the ND?? the youths have been taken too much for granted, you and I waste our time and mb discussing and fighting over nothing my point is let the struggle be genuine, not CHOP I CHOp that it is now.....let the govt stop dropping money or giving chief or state govt money let them give basic amenities to those that need it, sorry to say but even you that is shouting I don't think you live in those ND village if you do you would know what am saying, try pay visit to some of thshe thick ijaw village and most other ND community, there is no potable drinking water, no good school, no good health care, please be realistic the FG alone or resource control is not our problem but RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

for any reason it may be.....I say thank you ifeanyi

barcanista:
With Due respect Sir. I don't see how our demand for an end to marginalisation and a better deal stops our local officials from performing. The NDDC, Min od Niger Delta and even Amnesty programs are never a part of our demand. Why must I be comfortable with 13% peanuts when our demand for improved derivation to 50% of what is earned and political restructuring? Have we at any time elected Asari, Ateke or Tompolo to administer Amnesty peanut to us? Did we even ask for Amnesty or NDDC or ND Min? I think we need to distingusih between what we want/need and what we currently get.

Thank you

my brother I am a Niger deltan I also feel Ur pain, now do you remember how we betrayed ourselves when some of our sons where fighting for resource control?? my point is GEJ was the president for Five years why didn't he bring about the much needed resource control?? this is why I really hate the beast called GEJ, now we are back to crying and begging, Amnesty like you said wasn't what we asked nor oil wells but some of our sons got it and kept silent isn't that height of betrayal?? Like I will always say I will agree with you if you first acknowledge that GEJ betrayed the ND he had the chance of putting a full stop to our marginalization but he forgot where he was coming from. We will keep doing the shouting while they keep getting fat and feeding on the little we have, enough is enough before the masses cry for more let our governors make most of what we have already.....like I will say again until we know the root our problems we will not get anywhere, GEJ would have used the national conference to bring about this change but this guy was busy thinking about 2nd term this is why I still hate his actions and inactions

barcanista:
When did I carryout hate campaign against Nigeria? That Jonathan failed does not mean that we should stop asking for a better deal within the Nigeria State or an outright referendum if the State insist on the status quo as demanded by LNC.

when your very own fail in sane society you don't have a mouth....am not saying we should keep quiet but let us hold our governors and national and state house of Assembly responsible for most of our problems in ND.....how about the few that where empowered like ASARI what did he do for the ND my take is let government work directly with the needs and problem of our average villagers, let government give good road, health facility, good education, these can be achieved if we hold our governors responsible, hold nddc nd ministry of ND. if you doubt me go to ndokwa and see what the guy uduaghan made commissioner for ndokwa desopadec look at how far he has gone in transforming most places under him, before now people didn't feel the impact but now they do..... my point is our problem is not FG alone but we refusing to hold our own people to account for the allocation they receive

barcanista:
The term "Niger Deltan" is not restricted to agitation for resource control. It is like saying the term "Catalan" is only used when secession is demanded in Barcelona, Spain. On the "South South" I agree with you because it was borne out of divide and rule tactics. The NDDC, Min of ND Affairs and Amnesty programs are all tools by the State to make the people feel false sense of belonging while their resources are exploited.

what you wrote is quite informing but its only someone who isn't enlightened that would say he or she wasn't aware, please do Nigeria a favour by stop your hate campaign about Nigeria using Niger delta resources ( am not saying they are not using it) but over emphasising it isn't right either because our son was given the opportunity to develop our region but he failed woefully, if our own son can't deal with our issues why should we blame people from other regions??

Babalegba:
The sanest post I have read on nairaland for some time. I do hope Buhari reason that way too and lock out the thieving marketers out of the system

thank you for the response, that was exactly what I expected GEJ to do not make the masses to suffer in the midst of many, I wish the incoming govt would see this and try to follow it just a little

Anybody that say subsidy should be removed is a COW. Like this topic why is diesel scarce?? keeping importations is as good as keeping the country under control by few wicked people. The only way out of this is govt should repair our refineries, before doing that only the nnpc should import the products we need let the fg withdraw all the license given to all these thieves and heartless marketers

This is a million dollar question no body is willing to answer

I am with atiku on this if the power sector could be tackled in phases we will get better

IdiAmin1:
That is what you get when you allow silly and greedy unions in a country.

I once said that Nigeria needs atleast some more years in the hand of the military to stabilise but people think I'm joking.

After this, maybe ASUU will start their own madness followed by NLC's cry for new minimum wage.

you and I think alike, we need a no nonsense dictator to......

felifeli:
Create a distance with your secretary ? How ?

Now I see, just make it plain, call her to order but politely let her know she is just like a daughter to you, bet me if you just ignore without calling her to order she will feel you like it and would put more efforts and one day you may just fall

moreeni:
Hmmmmmmm baby bossssssssss


I don't know the answer o. Sorry.

read it again you find it difficult to understand.....back to the matter, I will advice you call her to order and create a distance

Ucheosefoh:
It is guys with primitive mindset especially those religious sentimental guys I see no reason a guy will stay aware from his girlfriend because she is menstruating, such guys will never care about their girlfriends when she is sick, any girl with such boyfriend na one chance she enter

I don't agree completely with you on this

Omotayor123:
So you are one of them The question is WHY?
Don't you think it's injustice of the highest order?

see its not everyone different there are certain things you do as a person that you can't give account for, its just reflex ....I feel it is mostly with people who didn't grow up with girls, so its just there psych

Dollyak:
Technically yes. Monaco- France relationship type could work in naija.

but u know Monaco don't iinsult France as Biafra do, to live in peace we must respect each other, if this is applied Biafra would be a nation in no time not the usual noise

nice one.....but we need fuel before handover ooooo

After some foolish girls go dey form say sex don't freak them.....back to the topic, the man is a wise man that have his eyes on the ground and know what the wife is doing already but the foolish woman think she is smart, there is no smoke without fire. the man can't wake up and just start telling her to go have sex outside, she should check herself

ECOTERRORS:
Most of the APC states are owing salaries maybe its because they used it to fund buhari campaign

abi you don't know Hw to count....these PDP people put of 18 PDP states has 11 and you say APC is more abi

folabayo1:
Op u are damn right! Its just that some girls would not learn even if when their lives is at stake

Some idiots will definitely quote me as soon as they view profile and start asking foolish questions

Notice:mayweather is my cousin so quote me not

Hw about those ladies that have miss carriage ??

Ilekeh:
Accommodation is one thing. Unless you're talking about the Olukumis. Yorubas do not let go of their identity to take another man's identity.

take it or leave it, what I told you wasn't fabricated

Ilekeh:
Hmmm Yoruba man giving his children non Yoruba names? I don't believe.

believe it or not, my home town is very accommodating provided you not a trouble maker, lots of people are there

sebali:
Deltans are not ibos. Yes deltan north general called Anioma are reffered to as delta ibo cos their language and culture is similar to dat of d anambra pple.(mind u d language is not same just similar).
Biafra was an island near calabar and ojukwu adopted d name for his proposed nation.

In Summary: delta state cant be added to Biafra because deltans are not ibos(d major tribe in delta is Urhobo b4 d Ijaws).

Hope i hav ans. ur question

thank you very much...

christopher123:
What is is that you have an issue to understanding

NAME is part of Identifiaction...we bear Biblical names cos we are christian
We bear Igbo names cos we are igbo

What is actually wrong with you..YORUBAS

mind you I am no Yoruba

ahaz:
rather ure the one fooling Urself. For the records the Igbo have never forced itself on any tribe secondly the igbos don't rely on anybody for their survival so to the topic my names re chijoke eke and am frm Isiokpo rivers state and an ikwere man by understanding but an Igbo by culture nd norm, an individual's name is his identity so if my parents claim I am not Igbo or has no Igbo affiliation why am I bearing an Igbo name it's as simple as ABC If u claim ure not Igbo invent ur own language nd ur names. Will u tell me a kaba man frm kogi bearing yomi is not yoruba? It's only fools that fall for ur antics u devilish yorubas nd ur slave masters up north u people re busy uniting urselfs nd keep sowing seeds of discord amongst us down south, ur useless father's deceived our father's nd nw u guys wants to continue were they stopped e no go work

baba calm down, I have a Yoruba man that stay in my home town before I was born most of the children answer my native name, he belongs to a family now in my village, does that make him from my village?? like his next 2 generations would claim they are from my place though they know their true root, names and culture don't make you belong to a tribe in these modern day, if now why are you Igbo and bear a biblical name or does wearing English wear make you English??

asha80:
your questions are danm funny..first Biafra was name given to the then eastern region that wanted to break away from Nigeria and anioma people were under Midwestern region..
Ojukwu simply had no.power to go to Midwestern assembly to cut out anioma to join Biafra then...please go read up how mid west was created and how Dennis osadebey ended up becoming premier of that region..too many people just lack the patience and ability to read and understand...the first guy that was interviewed wearing black obviously believes in hearsay than reality..imagine him saying that is what they were told instead of finding out what really happened

thank you for your contributions I know the point you raised about Anioma wasn't included during the war, my point is if in the right sense like the later chief claimed why didnt osadebe secede with his supposed brothers?? and one thing I want to point out to the Igbo across the Niger is that those in delta don't behave like them. Believe it or not (though I can't speak of any other part apart from the ndokwa) some of the people you see that are indigen aren't really from there though they speak the language,bear their names and others, Igbo should cease this fight of Biafra this Biafra that and get their way into government, not always looking foe who they want to join them in a quest that no one knows how its gonna end, enough if the playing minority and marginalization

I took my time to watch the video carefully, now for that man on black shirt, he said the simple truth and wasn't sentimental unlike the last man who call himself chief that knows history only for him to be reading from paper, its a disgrace for a chief not to know his own origin but depend on written note. My questions are why was it that delta was never part of the Igbo throughout state creations what is the difference between Biafra and Igbo ?? does it mean that Igbo is the official language of Biafra??

backtosender:
and who cares if he want to be address as yoruba if he want.. he might be the ones that migrated from benin watch the video and hear from real anioma people so he is not ibo true true

stop being foolish, that somebody is not Igbo don't make them Yoruba, and for your claim where did Igbo originate from tell me one country that answer Igbo name that you would say you originated from that make anyone that answer the name or from lower Niger an Igbo person??
