I could remember a certain day that a fight erupted between a yuruba and an igbo guy. When the fight was about starting, the yoriba guy started shouting "brother come ooo, aunty come ooo, i go kil person ooo ", when everybody gathered, the igbo gave him the first slap. Na im dis yorobo coward con turn around, shouting "make una hold me, i nor wan fight"!

jmaine:
Really . . .

Eko Ile:
Meaning nothing is going on in ND, you're just stating what you'd love to see happen in ND.

I don't even see that state going anywhere. With so much money and a population of just a little over a million and that state is still like sh/it hole?

Katsumoto:
When? How? To do what?

ezeagu:
That's if there's no better candidate.

Eko Ile:
Apart from Oil Rigs and swamps, what else is there in ND?

EzeUche:
I do not like this idea. Lagos should focus on improving infrastructure instead of buying land for rice cultivation. The private sector should be the one who invest rice cultivation.

ekt_bear:
I'm not blaming the private sector; not really interested in making it a blame game.

Kobojunkie:
Some of the statements above is why I keep suggesting you stop pulling your facts out of thing air.

As for your first paragraph, if you missed the events of the past 2 weeks in that state, then again, I suggest you learn to zip it when it comes to matters you are not aware of.

Kobojunkie:
How many of our graduates are willing to go into farming? In your mind, you are convinced that the 10s of thousands of agricultural science/zoology/animal husbandry etc. graduates we have in that country, many of them from within Lagos there, do not want to venture into farming at all?  You mean even though we have more people graduating from other sciences and arts areas than Law/accounting/medicine, we should not show concern for those at all because you have conveniently convinced yourself that only those who go in for law degrees, accounting degrees and even medicine, should be counted?

Look, I think, again, you should try visiting facts, rather than continuing to pull your messages out of thin air! Honestly, I am not here for more of this, so accept this is my last post to you on this as I am here for the rational discussions.

Kobojunkie:
^^^ so in your mind, the only way the basics can be adequately provided for, is if the situation is first PERFECT??
Again. . ,

Kobojunkie:
Please, visit facts before you post. Nigeria used to show great potential in this area. At one point, we produced, I believe, about 40% or even more, of rice we consumed.

Government going out to acquire land is opposite of what we need. If anything, what we need is government creating for us a better environment for to encourage us, our graduates especially, to go back to the land.

Kobojunkie:
If you do not know what is still needed, then you are probably best staying away from discussions on these issues.

Kobojunkie:
Somehow I think this is another "WAYO" news to make the Lagos Agbero's come in to tell us why we must all bow to Lagos or something. . . . lol

Why is a state, that is yet to provide adequately for the basic needs of the people looking into buying land now? So the state can hire more hands and reduce funds available for actual development, for the next 2-5 years??   

How much have we realized from the generator business? Where is that money currently going? How much??

kasiem:
Chucks, to do the best of my knowledge, i'm being pragmatic with issues here. So, i'd be a nationalists when i come here to turn the truth upside down? Hey, i dont think posterity will find it funny with me. Man, we've patched this trouser to the level that it is crying for change. It is only living beings that can build a nation. and how do u think we can manage with the constant killings from u cows? Do u want the the southerners to use their blood to build a better nigeria for u cows? Tribalism seldom rears amongst the Yorubas and igbos, but it's never felt because of the diplomacy of the two groups.

mkpologwu:
Now they are paving way for tsunami to come and consume ibo pple!
Chei, Ibos don suffer for dis cuntry!

ndu_chucks:
@kasiem, for once in your life, try to converse without this tribalist bias of yours. Lets try to look at issues as Nigerians - can't you simply be as detribalized as i am, even if its only for a moment? Don't be surprised to find out that my dad or mom is from your village, olodo.

@Negro_Ntns, hehehehe, I am closer to that someone who you described as follows: [bsomeone more likely you don't even see or hear from so you are emotionaly disengaged from their agony and grief[/b]. I see them almost daily and I know that they are the ones currently dying in large numbers due to the inaction of some of you people towards building this country. You are now plotting the deaths of millions more of them by calling for dissolution.

We shall fight you people until the last bullet is exhausted before we allow you to cause the deaths of these innocent people. Enough is enough, Rwanda will not take place in god's own country, Nigeria. Shikena.

EzeUche:
I hope the Ijaw continue to push westward. 

EzeUche:
And that is why Nigeria is crap. Everyone complains when the nation could have been dissolved earlier.

EzeUche:

SHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPP DDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Katsumoto:
Another misconception with certain Igbo people is that they do not really understand why the Civil war was fought.

1. Gowon promulgated decree 8 in 1967 which gave Ojukwu 90% of what he desired at Aburi but Ojukwu rejected it insisting on every demand being met.

2. Nigeria was created based on the desires of certain Igbo sons despite the objections of Bello and Awo. On that principle alone, certain individuals were bent on ensuring that the East remained with Nigeria.

3. In 1957, at the consitutional conference in London, Obafemi Awolowo suggested to Zik that a secession clause be inserted into the Nigerian constitution but Zik rejected it.

Zik and Igbo gave birth to Nigeria, rejected secession clause, lost out in a power play with Bello and Akintola, organised a coup killing everyone else but their own and then wanted to leave when it didnt go their way. I have said it before and I will say it again, certain Igbo sons believe that other Nigerians are not sharp.
