Great, its long overdue; Sokoto and Niger share the same border; if there is oil in Niger then you should expect same for Sokoto - in fact it will not be a matter of if but when.
Let the haters go and die.

As usual, a one sided story; would like to hear the Fulani side on the issue before passing judgement; after all we already know how our blodas can twist or often fake stories to suit their agenda - just saying.

u see people i share the same country with adamu this ahmed that

Nobody is holding you; if you no like am just waka comot, shikenan; however, I am quite certain there are more worse case scenarios in your own backyard (where ever it may be) - cultism among them - just carry your bigotry out of here, we don't need it.

They will never disappoint - this one will soon be packaged back in a casket; he just bought a one way ticket to his maker.

Your username says Aboki.

When an ignoramus cannot factually counter your points he resorts to insults and bigotry - shey, you understand.

PointZerom:
The North wrote the constitution they didn't accommodate Christianity but Islam, they turn their villages into states and their kitchens into LGAs thereby having more sinators and RAPES to checkmate the south and to loot from her. They moved the capital to their region thereby forcing the south to come to them. They control the Army, Airforce, Navy, Custom etc. They invaded Tompolo and Nk's houses but never do such to Shakou's house, they went to Shakou's camp and discover flag and koran but in Nk's house they discover "Petrol Bomb". The SE governors sold NK to them and I am sure, they've killed him and his father.

Some of you espouse not only ignorance but stupidity as well - how can the national constitution be written by only section of the country at the exclusion of another?

FYI, since 1966, Nigeria has operated only two constitutions; the 1979 and 1999 constitutions whose production were both overseen by (surprise surprise) southerners:

The 1979 constitution was produced by Justice Egbert Udo Udoma (1917-1998) with input from the constitution drafting committee headed by Chief Rotimi Williams (1920-2005). Justice Udo Udoma was the Chairman of the 1978 constituent assembly.
The 1999 constitution was produced by Justice Niki Tobi who was Chairman of the 1998 constitution debate committee. The 1999 constitution, which we still operate was promulgated into law on May 5, 1999 and had been operative from then till date.

Secondly, the relocation of the capital from Lagos to Abuja came about pursuant to the recommendations of a committee charged with the responsibility to find and recommend a new capital anywhere in Nigeria; the committee subsequently came up with the more central neutral Abuja; it was headed by no other than Justice Akinola Aguda, a southerner.

The founder of Boko Haram, Mohammed Yusuf, and the Shiite's leader Sheik El- Zakzaky had their houses not only raided but also reduced to rubbles; the former was in addition publicly and extra-judicially killed in handcuffs on the streets of Maiduguri - and nothing happened.
Pls find a way to control that ignorant mouth of yours.

Johnnyessence:
it is very difficult to correct a religious person that has been brainwashed on not to think deeply on the loan all these Apc governors took. Let me hint you a little bit here. Sukuk loan bond has been hooking the governors neck, now upon it is interest free loan, it is very difficult for them to pay up the loan. Its remained 12 months for ogbeni to complete his tenure, still he hasn't fulfilled his promised to his people. Upon the collection of the bond, there are series of uncompleted projects scattering around the osun state but still you are saying that is good for ogbeni to collect that loan. What am just afraid of is that the next governor that will succeed ogbeni is going to face series of debt too.

Your reasoning is so flawed its unbelievable; so you think the Sukuk is to be blamed for the governor's inability or unwillingness to pay back the loan - how ridiculous can you be?

Now, assuming that the Sukuk was not available; don't you think the governor would have taken the more expensive interest dependent conventional loan and therefore be in even more trouble?

My friend, your brain needs restting - honestly.

Anybody who threatens national security gets put away, court order or no court order; ask El-Zakzaky and Dasuki - it doesn't matter who you are.

Mysterious fire indeed; what a coincidence.

Nonsense terrorist propaganda

Johnnyessence:
you won't understand the CAN SEC cos you are living
in deluded islamic religious state. As it stand this
sukuk loans is affecting osun state cos the state
government hasn't pay up the loan. Even NBS
released some statistics yesterday that Osun state is
one of indebted state in Nigeria. Up till now the state
government are still paying its workforce half
salaries. So pathetic and worse situation. Sukuk loan
should be stopped.

Quite on the contrary, you are the one along with CAN who are apparently delusional and out of touch with the true realities on the ground.

Pls kindly explain how Sukuk is bad simply because Osun State took out (an interest free) loan that it supposedly cannot pay back; why should the loan therefore be blamed for the state's apparent financial recklessness?
Would it not have been a worse scenario had the state taken out a loan with full interest - how absurd and quite silly?

Ngokafor:
This post of yours deserves the trash can for real

Too many 'north did this and that,'allowed this and that' i cant even deal....Your obnoxious and condescending tone towards Igbos as a northerner which echoes the average northern delusions about this country is why this nation will continue to retrogress till it expires..no matter how hard you northerners fight to hang on to others.

Its not your fault though,its the selfish and greedy leaders we have in the East i blame

You contributed absolutely nothing to the argument except empty emotional lamentation about my tone of language, your apparent dislike for northerners and the failure of your leaders but at the end completely ignoring all the issues raised except your own prejudices - pls madam, address the issues not sentiments.

Terrorists are welcomed to post and expose themselves while the DSS and other law enforcement agencies quietly gather intelligence that would later incriminate them towards Kuje prison.

CAN continues to ridicule itself as an ignorant intolerant divisive embarrassment to Nigerian Christians espousing bigotry rather than tolerance and understanding among Nigerians

So I can now legally and legitimately say Kanu and all IPOBs are terrorists.

professorPABX:
You are very wrong, extremely wrong. The inability of the South to have a common stand caused by the Igbos is the major problem.

The National Assembly cannot address the marginalization & exploitation of the South. The National Assembly is a parliament established by an ordinance of democracy. In late 1998, a member of one of the power mafia groups in the north was discussing the issue of power shift to the South with his friend, the friend was not comfortable, he quickly reminded him that ' Democracy is a game of population'. That made the friend to relax. There was a problem structurally with Nigeria. The North works as a body at the National Assembly when it comes to the issue of exploitation of the resources in the South. The North does not having anything on the table for discussion. All the conferences (OBJ & GEJ), they (north) went there to fight & defend their survival on the resources of the south using their population as a tool.

The composition of National Assembly based on democracy theorem of Population already placed North on edge. The National Assembly is not balanced. The combined unity & single stand of the south is what can free the South. If the South is united, in 2015, those bogus votings in Kaduna, Kano & Jigawa would have been rejected by the South, it can create problem, by now, we would have gone our separate ways.

The ibo elders did not help matters. The information & propaganda passed to the youth have aggravated the situation. It was only Ojukwu & later GEJ (for GEJ it was very late) that realised that they need the Yorubas more than it appears, the National Assembly is a wastage of time. The foundation of Nigeria as a structure is corrupt.

You completely justified my points about the Igbo mentality of 'Its either my way or the highway'.

In other words, even though we operate in a democracy you still expect the rules of democracy shouldn't apply when it comes to the SE interest.
Perhaps you also expect the north should depopulate in order to reign in it numerical advantage.

If the national assembly cannot resolve these problems then what legitimate organ can?
Pls don't don't say national conference because whatever such body may come up with, its recommendations must ultimately have to be ratified by the national assembly.- and therefore an unnecessary exercise (duplication) in futility.

The lack of southern unity you mentioned is no doubt caused by Igbo intransigent and unbending attitude; until they eschew from tribal politics of sentiments and embrace politics of persuasion and compromise then they will always come against the brick wall of a unified north; because that is exactly what brings northerners closer together.

On the other hand, history has been on the side of the north when it comes to political liberalism: they picked Obasanjo from prison and installed him in Aso Rock even when his own ppl were rejecting him; they also voted for Abiola against their son Bashir Tofa - until the former turned the June 12 annulment into a tribal issue.
Northerners also picked Igbos as presidential running mates; Shagri/Alex Ikweme; Buhari/Pius Okadigbo as well as gave Ojukwu full pardon and freedom to run for the highest office (who sadly was rejected by his own Igbo constituency).

Igbo/SE position is akin to changing the rules or shifting the goal post in the middle of a match, simply because the game is not going their way - therefore proving them as dishonest co-travellers or unfaithful and hypocritical adherents of democracy.

They have started again with their irrational hatred and blackmail against anything about Islam or Muslims to the point of foolishness.
They forgot that Islamic Banking was initiated by no other than Charles Soludo, a Christian; and that Islamic Banking is practised all over Europe and America without Islamising the countries involved.
Is sukuk and Islamic banking being forced on any citizen of this country and not a matter of choice of the individual?

Why does CAN feel that it has the right to deny what is legitimate to Nigerian Muslims (interest free banking/transactions) and impose on them what is forbidden (taking of interest) according to their religion?
What part of the constitutions is being violated and why can't they therefore sue the government and have the court overturn such decision (if true) instead of spreading hate and misinformation on the pages of newspaper to further divide the ppl?

CAN should note that since the take off of Islamic Banking, at least one the banks JAIZ has recorded a significant patronage from Christians (as borrowers and depositors) attracted by its relative low cost of borrowing and high returns on investment.

When the dust of ethnic hatred and bigotry has finally settled; many would gradually come back to their senses and realise that all the instruments and processes for addressing any grievance are already in place, as enshrined in or constitution, through the National Assembly, where every part of the country is adequately represented.
No one can expect to cause constitutional changes under our democracy by working outside the system; that was Kanu's first fundamental mistake, he ignored his regional representatives and instead chose to take his case to the streets chanting senseless hatred that wouldn't take him anywhere.
It is also fundamental for all parties to agree to go by the rules and accept the final collect will of the majority.
Aggrieved parties with minority views must therefore be ready to work on their persuasive skills in order to convince the majority to accept their proposals - this is unfortunately where our brothers from the SE continue to fail i.e. its either their way or the highway.

leave that dry desert they won't listen, leave that inhabitants desert they won't listen, leave that dry landlocked oil barren cursed desert they won't listen.. now see the kind of pain and regret he brought to his poor parents in Enugu... RIP but I'm not pitying this fellow

But some of im blodas like am like that; in fact you can even find them inside Sambisa Forest - abeg no vex, no be me talk am na one of una governors, Ikpeazu from Abia talk am o - e dey news headlines today.

What nonsense under modern day Christianity - slowly turning from religion of God to religion of man.

krendo:
Lol not sure how this people measure backwardness but the last time I checked according to all international metrics the North is more backward than the south

There is more poverty and illiteracy in the North than the south east, these is more diseases and epidemic in the North than the south east

So northern governors are in no position to lecture anyone on backwardness!

If you had cared to read carefully before rushing to conclusion, you would noticed that the key words used were Infrastructural Development and nothing more.

GrandFinale2017:
ok dummy let's go by Regions..
The North makes up 19 states (middlebelt inclusive).
The South west makes up 6 states.
The South South has 6 states.
While the South East has just 5 landlocked states.
All the states of SE combined with all the states of SS and Ekiti but still couldn't give GEJ a returning seat.
We Igbos don't count in politics, we are only good in commerce and trade. Whenever discussions on politics arises i think we igbos should keep quiet cos we are minorities

Simple truth is that Igbos have politically marginalised themselves with their own hands; how do they expect to be voted into power when they keep insulting the other tribes?
They promote hate and tribal politics and have been reaping what they sowed - unfortunately, this botched agitation based on hate and blackmail has taken them more backwards than they currently realise.

They are the biggest beneficiaries of One Nigeria; their enclave is too small to contain them, so they been spreading themselves everywhere as economic refugees; yet they'll be quick to insult their hosts calling them parasites - however, the quit notice has opened their eyes to their true parasitic dependence on others; lol, who is now fooling who.

Blizzy9ja:
If that man is the North's rating for educationally sound then am not surprised why they are sooooo backward and primitive

Then the advanced ones who allowed the backward ones to rule over them must be very very stupid indeed - what a pity.

One Oscar Okoro must be providing them with useful information.

Inculding going to oyibo land to ask people to contribute money to him for firearms. He does not know that oyibo considers that threat to tax money.

LOL

Noise makers, so they sang and danced in front of the UN building, no placards no message at all ; the question now is is who took any notice of them and how did that bring them any nearer to their goal; after their blodas have lost all credibility by uploading easily detectable false images and stories about their alleged mistreatment at home - they must think the international communities are equally gullible like them.

pautex:
Are you for IPOB or Nigeria... seems you're very careful here to avoid being bias. Let us know your stake on this.

She actually did make her position quite clear but you unfortunately failed to read between the lines.
She said ppl do not respect the democratic system in place while not necessarily taking advantage of voting for those who would represent them and their interests.

In other words IPOB should pursue its agitations through the democratic process of the national assembly and ensure their regional representatives there truly work towards their collective objective - I believe that was exactly also what President Buhari in his recent broadcast advised all Nigerians with genuine causes to do.

So oyinbo sabi marginalisation and quota system?

OjukwuWarBird:
If they shout Biafra, you are always the first to oppose their desire.


One day, they shall be free.

LOL, if it were up to me, I'd not hesitate to give you your Biafra because there is clearly no gain in being together with such dishonest and obnoxious co-travellers - believe me, majority of ordinary northerners feel that way; its only the political elites from all regions blocking it.

sotall:
I am watching your mumu in 3D. Where in my post did I mention south east??
I wonder why your brain by reflex thinks only the south easterners hate this political arrangement that only favours the parasites.For your information, the south south where I come from is the host that you lots are parasitic on.

Ok, another delusional adherent of 'Our Oyel Mentality' - go on and prove the so called parasitic relationship in 3D.
