What's the difference? If I may ask

Big difference bro.
From graphics to battery life performance...
I'm not touching an exynos device with a 10 feet pole.

Even if we go back to Agriculture, it does not change the fact that the prices of our agricultural products, like oil, are not controlled by us, they are controlled by external factors.If the price falls below a certain level, we would still be rushing to take loans.

As an example...between 1977-78, Uganda had a coffee boom...high coffee prices meant that Uganda had a lot of frex...and the high prices came from agricultural disasters affecting the coffee crop in other countries. Once the edisasters passed....Uganda was back to square one.

All of Africa's agric producers are like Nigeria reilant on loans and foeign aid for survival because the price of the agricutural produce are usually not enough to sustain these countries.

What Nigeria needs to do to be proseprous...is simple...use its raw materials...oil inclusive...to make exportable industrial products. That is what proseprous countries do.

The 1960's were not necessarily a good time. Yes, agric, but most poeople were not rich and it was an educated urban elite that benefitted most from the revenue we earned from agric.(And our populaiton is much higher than in 1963 these days, and most of these people, even in the North, don't want to be famrers. Also we don't have the guaranteed markets of the 1960's,,....infact they were gone by thge 1970's. We used oil money to hide the problem...countries like New Zealand had to go thtrhugh some tough times and major changes in the 1970's)

Also, agric works if you mechanize it. Agricultuire in Nigeria is not mechanized at all.

You didn't quite get my point. The points you made are valid.

The idea is to make modernize our practise of Agriculture (making it 21st century compliant) whilst utilizing our other resources including man power...who says we can't start manufacturing like china? Why can't we develop our service based economy? (Easy) oil money has prevented us from truly diversifying our economy.

Look @ what Rwanda and Kenya are accomplishing without oil, amazing!

A time was when the naira was on par with the British pound and was worth twice the value of the US dollar, a time before the exploration of oil and subsequent 'rape' of the birthright of the Niger Delta peoples.

A time when the brute force of the collective strength of the Northerners excelled in agriculture, a time when the industry of the SouthEast was unmatched, a time when the administration and creativity of the West was world class.

Each region was renowned worldwide for something positive at the time. I remember the
'great' pyramids (groundnuts) in Kano, the vast oil-palm plantations of the East, and the cocoa farms of the west. We were the world's top producers/exporters of these cash crops @ the time, a time before oil.

My point in a nutshell is the discovery of oil 'cursed' the land in more ways than one.
Please dont tell us we have to be dependent on Niger Delta oil to thrive as individual nations, we are tired of that lie. I am tired!

Without Niger Delta Oil revenue both Oduduwa and Biafra will be poor like Arewa after Nigerian break up. Nigerians need to come together and save their country rather preaching division. There is strength in unity.
This isnt meant to be an insult, please.
Your slavish mentality reeks to the high heavens bro.
You come across as someone that will stay in his comfort zone as long as you keep getting peanuts from your task masters. Re-educate yourself!

Ask yourself one question. How do seemingly lesser countries in Africa do well without oil money that the Niger Delta has? How come Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique etc are thriving without oil?

Both Odua and Biafra will excel beyond your worst fears.

I once said here that the devilish profiling of Fulanis in west is totally unhealthy.

There is no smoke without fire....and Muyideen plus hosts of others has attested to that..

One thing is certain Yorubas are Majorly Muslims and Fulanis are muslims also and both worships in same mosque meaning that there must exist a kind of relationship between the two divides..

You can't believe on same faith and claims you all share different ideologies whereas the interaction starts right from the congregation of worship


This exactly shows that all kidnappings and banditry plus raping has direct link with the natives leading the action from their shadows

This is probably the most imbecilic comment Ive read all day. It not only spews of moronic sentiments , its quite frankly daft and I'm afraid I know your type...Your IQ is dangerously low you no doubt constitute a grave danger to not only your community but yourself!

Don't give up hope though. Have faith.

'Even hopeless bleeps like you have come to sense (eventually) with the right therapy'

Answer this question. What church do you attend?
A very high probability one founded by a 'Yoruba' pastor, right?
