and a lot more, go to modrenghana, republicreport, odili news, sun newspaper, etc and all other Igbo owned websites. What a waste

lagos greatest asset is not fashola or awololo or any other godamnit name but its position as a formal FCt of which was built into the nations commercial nerve by amongst all the SEAPORT.

The relocation of nlgn no doubt will have a little effect, but what will bring lagos to its kneel wud be a deep seaport in Portharcourt or Akwa-ibom, linked to an Aba and Onitsha inland container port, and then  Nnewi and Aba EPZs,  that in place LAGOS will seize to exist, southwest will time-travel back to 1967 into an agrarian society, low standard of living, possibly renewal of slave trading ( trading their children- this time knowingly).

Every other step in that territory will be littered with high powered concentrated juju, rituals will be the order of the day.  no more igbos to abuse hence they will turn on themselves, firstly to Ijebus ( as the black sheeps), then to Abeokwuta - for overshadowing the rest. soon the awori man wud declare his true status and ethnicity.

[b]just imagine Lagos losing west-minister and all those tank farms !, [/b]yes, 78% of the contents of those tanks travel outside Lagos and SW, would it not be more judicious to transport it by a barge from portharcourt or Akwa-Ibom deep seaport to Onitsha oil tank farm, then proceed to lokoja tank farm - which wud cater for Abuja consumption , then to niger tank farm - which wud in turn cater for the north west. Onitsha wud also cater for the middle belt and the rest of the north.

Jason wants you to move Delta and Edo states to Odua republic.
I am sure He's in jubilant mood now.
wow, on a platter of gold.
I hail O, Aare musiwa!

@jason123. The SS SW AND MB SAW ALL THIS, BUT I WILL TELL U THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE GROUPS. The MB thought they would have the same right as the majority fulani/hausa, therefore saw no need to join biafra and fight for truth.The SS, u wouldn't blame the m bc they were infants. [/b]The SW, U all know that they are cowards therefore [b]they sabotaged me. Infact ibu Onye ala sef.

nagoma:
As foolish as these boys who went to the vanguard are , they seem wise enough to avoid saying they want to be southerners. Tarka's experience with the transient romance with Awo will keep them away for ever. In case of going eastwards , I don't even need to tell them. My brothers middlebelters ( former northerners) know that[b] they would better have an alliace with a rattle snake than go with the ibos.[/b] Ask the idoma and the tivs!

Joey82:
@guoono,

Gowon is an elderstateman, agentle man if u ask my opinion, he'll generally apologise since the war was prosecuted under him. But we will be lying to ourselves if we ever pretend that Gowon regrets the creation he labored hard to keep - Nigeria.

I dont want to delve into the history of the civi lwar but frankly speaking, there's no time ojukwu ever made a good deal with other tribes as to how to share the spoils when the war was over. In warfare as i know, a deal must always be on the table for whoever is going to support b/4 anyof such group can even think of supporting you.

What deal did ojukwu make with the southwest?
what deal did he make with the middle belters, south south who owns the vast resources which were going to be under his control if he'd suceeded.
How could any of these group support his (ojukwu's) war without any concrete deal on the table.

Chyz*:
Reread this comment then tell me why it doesnt make sense in reference to the comment you replied to.

realchange:
jonathan is running in 2015, if not it goes to SE (sponsored by GEJ)
the only way se loses it is if they don't put out a candidate early

guonno:
@joey82. The link between what your brothers did at vanguard HQ and OJUKWU is that your brothers said they regreted fighting on the side of nigeria because today[b] they see what OJUKWU had seen and fought for[/b]. If u say your people that were involved in the war are not regreting, then u lie. Gowon had indirectly and many atimes rendered apology to the igbo people. I have followed the MB cases with fulanis, and when ever i see children and women, how they are butchered as though they were cow, i weep within. Women and children are so harmless that any people who targets them at war is worse than devil. Even though Muhammad fought from place to place, i dont think he ever killed children and women rather he turned them to slaves. May GOD accept the souls of the mothers and children that died in the massacre.

realchange:
the connection exists only if MB support SE for 2015. MB must show good faith to SE
else make everybody answer im papa name

Gbawe:
My brother, na so we see am oo. Any effort, as I have constantly attempted, to show folks we must rise above the ethnic divide-and-conquer ruse our leaders use to subjugate and distract us, is always met with rabid bigotry. How can any sensible Nigerian, even minimally aware of how Nigeria works, think that their own leaders are innocent? They are all rogues and thieves !!!! The pragmatic focus should be on individuals, wherever they are from, who can deliver. Viewing ourselves holier than others is just pandering to crass self-deception.


The NDDC (Niger delta development commission) is the classic example I use because it is actually a cesspit of corruption when one would ordinarily expect "sons of the soil" in charge to be passionate about developing the ND. What have the "sons of the soil" been doing with funds allocated for the development of the ND? embezzling it is what they have been doing. Next minute, an ignorant person will tell us it is "parasitic" Yarobus and "Almajiris" who cause all the propblems of the ND. Conveniently, he forgets "his own" brother laughing all the way to the bank and happy to live their domain underdeveloped.

Allison-Madueke is the most corrupt of them all. Yet you will see ignorant folks here leading other gullible souls astray via telling them she is "cleaning" up the system. Nigeria is a frustrating view of nationhood.

Joey82:
ouch!!! This apology thing is killing me, how credible are these youths for christ sake and what faction do they represent. As far as i know Naija, the middle belt is the most fragmented geo political zone, with different ethnics, infact one can hardly even tell the boundaries since some ethnics prefer to have affinities with people of other geo political zones.

Btw, Is anybody supposed to apologise for fighting to keep Naija a 1 indivisible entity?
These little boys are just ranting, just the other day, all the middle belt elders gathered at the arewa consultative forum (a purely northern people organisation) prominent amongst the dignitaries was David Mark from the idoma extraction.

it has nothing to do with igbos am telling you,this article was writing by a Ghanaian politician,

-----If Yoruba and Igbo cannot get along, Ijaw, Igala etc. must step in and if the Hausa are called upon to fill the vacuum, it has to be the liberated Hausa free of religious bigotry.

PointB:
@Jason

Where was it stated that it was written by Igbo. Are Igbos MEND and Niger Delta Militants?

ak47mann:
i think their is a big fight b/w yaribas and our Ghana sisters,truth will surely come out one day.

PointB:
lol.
Ghanaians now know about Yoruba's scheming, and treachery. Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised. Their antecedents precede them.

Guys, I know that particular website. Some Igbos use it to perpetrate their hate for other ethnic groups especially Yorubas. This is not their first article about other ethnics.

It is not about Ghana. Once you bring in your money, your article will be posted on the internet.

Unfortunately, some Igbo sons took advantage of that.

PointB:
Whoever wrote this in 2009 must surely know what he was saying:

MEND AND NIGER DELTA BEWARE OF YOURBA AND OPC LEADERS TWO FACE AND CHAMELION NATURE.

igbo2011:
Also, why don't other countries grow cocoa, rubber, and other commodities? Is our land the only land that can do it?

PointB:
Then stop coming to spill trash about Ijaws taking over your land, or Anioma betraying you. When you are clearly the traitor in their midst!

FACE:
As long as you know that a significant amount of those flights are private and not commercial . Oil companies in warri own private planes used for flying staff and their families and they all use Osubi airport.

I used NNPC's twin otter (toy plane) countless times from warri to PH back in the days as a family member and they all add to the stats.

PointB:
You dont even believe in your utterance. And you think I take you serious. Anyway your case is even more pathetic, when it happens, I wonder what your lot will be.

afam4eva:
You should know by now that Massob is not a violent group. From their name you should know that they're fighting for a cause. That does not mean when the tough gets going that they won't counted. But they're just been cautious because anything Igbo put hand go turn to something else. Oour history can speak for itself. We don't boast. Some years back Igbos in Kaduna withstood their ground against rampaging hausa/fulani youths that the Governor of that state had to beg the Igbos to calm down. Igbos don't look for trouble but when they're pushed to the wall and cannot hold it any longer, everybody will bear the full grunt. he who has ear let him ear. E

PointB:
I didn't hear your mention Itshekiri (well apart from when you were taking credit for MEND). Or are you not Ishekiri?
You ask what have we done, I'll tell you. We don't do yeye militancy. We prefer war! Get that into your skull!

Ijaw leaders in the area have accused the OPC of participating in the Ilaje attacks,

http://www.dawodu.com/maier1.htm#_ftnref43


because Ijaws heard in Ajegunle that OPC members had gone to fight on the side of Itsekiri

Aigbofa:
You should keep making fun of people who are sending a message that they will not fold their arms and get roasted four at a time when the country appears leaderless and drifting dangerously towards anarchy.
If every group can emulate igbo, it will make Boko Haram go away?

PointB:
No sir, the point is that OPC is joke!
Do you think, carrying sticks and machetes and parading across the streets sent any serious message? If anything, it portrays OPC as bunch of jokers. When OPC/Yoruba are sending a message, we will know. At the moment, what we are seeing the dancing of drunk clowns. Funny stuff.  

Now I ask if you know the reason, we have not gone on rampage, killing every hausa man/woman in SE in revenge. The answer is simple:
We don't do things in small measure. When we fire a single shot, know that we are ready for the long haul!

houvest:
And your point with this post is,

igbo2011:
There are also foreign powers that corrupt the people. If you look at Mauritius, foreign powers aren't there as much because htey have no resources. Since Nigeria has oil and America imports a lot of their oil from Nigeria, it is very important to have those resources. The Congo is CURSED with resources. America kills all their good leadrers like Lumumba in the 1961 and Kabila in 2001. imperialism plays a big role too.
