Why must you always reason from, north and south or east and west if you are not a confused tribalist?





Are those people heading the nnpc not nigerians? Are there not other nigerians from other tribes holding on to key ministries in the administration? Or are them ameachi, fashola and kemi adeosun also northerners? Look at their strategic posts! If they perform WOULD YOU CARE IF THEY CAME FROM IRAQ?




Or maybe you are the type of person that would ask an akara seller her tribe before you buy her tasty goods? All the south south sons and daughters that have run the NDDC as well as the MINISTRY OF THE NIGER DELTA since the dawn of time, WHAT DID THEY ACHIEVE?




Or na hausa and yoruba full there too? Dis people meeeen!!

They are yet to address the sluggish and rude ways their cashiers act, they are talking about relationship issues. If you guys deduct my money any how again, the "THUNDER" that will fire you people; it will visit NDA and pack all their bombs and drop it on your heads

Brother sometimes it's not lack of love that makes a man cheat on his woman. Moreover love does not guarantees perfection and that's why it preaches forgiveness. Sometimes u cheat and u just cannot explain y u did it.

Ken Saro-Wiwa wasted his life by himself. Nigerians seem incapable of objective discourse. We read Ken Saro-Wiwa and Mamman Vatsa in secondary school in my day and you tend to love such people. Both were executed and it broke my heart. But I've grown and seen the harsh realities of life. Ken Saro-Wiwa was no less a "resource-control" advocate like the others presently doing same and reaping untold money. They're reaping millions of dollars from the death of Saro-Wiwa. All this environmental pollution he and they claim is a smokescreen. They've never cared about it. That school of thought believes that the present political entities covered by the oil area OWN the oil and should control it. Another word for greed. Number one: do you know how many "people" have come and gone in that area over the millenia that the oil was there? Because you happen to be there at the time the British opened your eyes, you claim to own it. How come over the thousands of years (or hundreds of thousands, or millions) that the oil was there that you never used it one day, until some people from far away invested huge money to search for and drill the oil to turn it into a money spinner. That was possible because you were part of a country called Nigeria and the rulers of Nigeria consider all parts of the country as one entity where they could spend or use resources as needed for the betterment of all. It was a Northern ruler that oversaw the beginning of commercial crude oil drilling in Nigeria and he used a lot of it to develop infrastructure in the country's capital which was in the West (not North). So now the water in Kainji and Shiroro dams that have been providing us electricity before gas in the Niger-Delta nko? So the communities there should start fighting about owning the water too abi? They should be sabotaging the dams because it is their water? I know it is shocking to all of you to realise that both are perfectly equivalent; they're things occurring naturally there and exploited for the national good. If oyibo didn't invent uses for crude oil, no Niger-Delta person ever would
The problem with Nigeria is the curse of ethnic identities and jingoism which makes people see things through tribal prisms and not for the national good. Nigeria is an ignorant, society of near-primates and the way out of our problem is long-term, and that is proper education and stopping this university madness which breeds ignoramuses with huge egos

Deadlytruth:
Ahmadu Bello made that speech in 1952 in which he correctly defined Igbos. Did Ahmadu Bello lie about Igbos in that video? Unfortunately, 7 years after he made that speech in which he so derided Igbos, Zik and Okpara decided to lead Igbos into forming the NPC-NCNC alliance with him thereby handing power over to him on a platter of gold. So whose fault was it that Igbos used their own hands to enslave themselves under a man who made it known that he never loved them and was ready to kill them? That action alone shows that Igbos are the only willing slaves and ass lickers of Arewanisatan. Remember that Hausas had already killed thousands of Igbos in 1945 and 1953 yet in 1959 Igbos went into a governing coalition which freely gave power to the same Hausas who had been slaughtering them. And in that coalition Igbos accepted to be junior slave partners whereas Awolowo offered them a coalition in which they would be the senior partners but they rejected it claiming they wanted national unity. Only a cursed people would freely and willingly accept to go into a coalition as junior slave partners with the very people who have always murdered them and made it known they had no regrets about it. Now if Hausas therefore later slaughtered millions of Igbos in 1967 were they not justified? When they had no executive power they slaughtered you in thousands and you were not pained. Then later with your own hands you gave executive power to them to slaughter you the more and they did just exactly that. How was that the fault of Unemes? Was it Unemes that placed that curse of foolishness and self enslavement on you people? Ahmadu Bello himself must have wondered how stupid a southern tribe could be to give him raw executive power after they heard him declare that the North was born to rule and subdue the South. And you tell me Igbos are not cursed?
Take a look at today; the NW region of Ahmadu Bello whom Zik gave power over the South now has 7 states and the most numerous LGAs and the lion share of federal allocation in Nigeria while the SE region of Igbos who gave him that power now has 5 states and the fewest LGAs in Nigeria thus suffers lean federal allocation from based on the unitary system introduced by Ironsi. INEC also gave you people the least population figure. That is the result of self enslavement. Penny wise pound foolish. My own Region has six states and more LGAs than SE which held us back from breaking away from Ziks "One-Nigeria" fraud.
Keep speaking accusing us of killing Aniomas while Aniomas themselves keep telling you that they have always been with us and never in the Eastern Region. The ghosts of the over 700 Edos your Biafra soldiers murdered in cold blood and dumped in the Abudu section of River Ossioma, the ghosts of the teenage Benin City girls your Biafran soldiers raped and defiled and the ghost of Okotie-Eboh whom your Ifeajuna killed in cold blood on unsubstantiated allegations of corruption but spared Zik the confirmed originator of corruption in Nigeria, etc will continue to haunt you and make it impossible for Biafra to materialise.

The same you who call yorubas liars and unreliable people are now profusely quoting Osundefender, a Yoruba, tabloid to substantiate your claims on Isaac Boro, and also referencing a book written by the same OBJ whom you call a treacherous Arewanistan slave to solidify your points. Can you see that you are really confused? So despite all the intelligence you ascribe to Ojukwu, Zik, Achebe, Okpara, etc; you could not find a book written by just one of them to reference but found reference in Osundefender and OBJ's book which are written by the very yorubas you claim are dull wicked, full of falsehood and given to propaganda? You seriously need help.

Isaac Boro and Saro Wiwa never saw themselves as Biafrans. So your insinuation that they were Biafrans who betrayed their own fellow Biafran (Ojukwu) is at best dishonest and self serving.

Isaac Boro is more likely to have died in the hands of Biafran soldiers. Obasanjo's accounts are always full of distortions. His recent book "My Watch" is full of lies about what happened between 1999 and 2007. So only a confused person like him will waste money buying OBJ's book which I believe you did.

Who killed Isaac Boro is not as important as who prevented him from having his Niger Delta Republic. If Ojukwu and Ironsi had allowed him have it he would not have later been killed by Biafra soldiers or Federal forces. As long as Ojukwu himself intended to kill him before God intervened, Ojukwu is as guilty of his death as whoever later really killed him. However Isaac Boro's case far was better than Ojukwu's case because Isaac Boro was killed alone without the massacre of innocent Ijaw civilians alongside. But Ojukwu had millions innocent of Igbo civilians killed before his very eyes by the very "One-Nigeria" which he earlier tried to please by arresting Isaac Boro and betraying his Niger Delta Republic. Even Ojukwu himself would have preferred that "One-Nigeria" killed him alone and spared those millions of innocent Igbos than the other way round in which it really happened. Igbos therefore still have the bigger lesson to learn about betrayal.
If Boro's declaration of NDR was wrong to warrant Ojukwu's crushing of it, then why are you Igbos not now crushing Niger Delta Avengers now who have only continued from where Boro was stopped by Ojukwu? Rather you Biafrans are even seeking to partner with them for synergy. Is that not an afterthought? A tribe oF afterthinkers!
I thought you people said it is a crime for the Niger Delta to seek its own sovereignty separate from Biafra? Now that NDA is seeking a purely Niger Delta Republic devoid of Biafra, which Hausa or Yoruba man can you accuse again as being responsible for poisoning their minds to exclude Igbos from their NDR map as currently being drawn by them?

Alamiyesegha might have said that Yorubas and Hausas are Ijaws' enemies. But he did not add that Igbos are their friends either.
In that speech he was silent on Igbos not because he loved Igbos or did not know that Igbos dismantled the federalism and forcefully introduced the unitary system which enslaved the Ijaws under Hausas but because he wanted to sound politically correct in the ears of Igbos. As a SS PDP politician he wanted to demonstrate passive gratitude to Igbos for their self-centred support for GEJ. Have you forgotten that the same Alams eulogized OBJ and IBB to high heavens while all was still well within PDP and between him and OBJ?
Above all Ijaws could not really have regarded Alams as their voice because he stole Ijaws blind and disgraced them internationally as Bayelsa governor and they themselves impeached him. Only Igbos accept such characters as their voices. If Igbos could start calling Saraki and Fayose their sons, then it tells you how easily deceived Igbos are.
Any Tom Dick and Harry can speak for Igbos. Fayose now speaks for them. Even my very poor, insignificant and humble self can speak for them if I want to. It is just a matter of me buying a tiny space in Punch Newspaper and using it to direct just one or two insults at Tinubu or Buhari and I will become Igbos' messiah immediately since they are cursed to be easily fooled.
Zik was born and brought up in the Northern Region, and he was a native of the Eastern Region. Ordinarily one would therefore have expected him to first seek premiership of his own Eastern Region where he hailed from or seek that of Northern Region where he was brought up and more popular. But because he was under the influence of the curse upon Igbos he went to start seeking premiership of the Western Region where he was neither from nor grew up. Why could his charity not start from home? Only a cursed people begin their charity from outside home. There were many other non-yoruba tribes in the Western Region who had equal stakes with Yorubas as to premiership. Those other tribes were yet to produce premier in their own region too yet a complete outsider and cursed intruder was placing himself as a higher stake holder ahead of them by seeking premiership over them in the name of one Nigeria? After securing their own region for themselves they set out trying to conquer and re-colonize other peoples region with the "One-Nigeria" subterfuge. Thieves!
Whatever he felt he had in stall for the Western Region, his people back at home needed it more. And come to think of it; he would have simply ruined the Western Region had he clinched their premiership. How much was he able to do for the Eastern Region when he later went back home to seek and fraudulently clinch Eastern premiership?
Benue State was part of Southern protectorate as at 1900 till the 1950s when it was excised into the Northern Region from the supposed Eastern Region. While that was happening the Zik who should have been leading the fight against the carving of Benue into the Northern Region was far away in Ibadan crying that he was not allowed to become premier and complaining of being marginalized in a place where he had no stake. If that was not the manifestation of a curse, what else was it?

Deadlytruth:
Igbos invented "One Nigeria" and worked to defend it at a time it was clear that Nigeria was not one and could never become one.
Ojukwu did not see anything. He was an enemy of the Niger Delta because it was he who crushed the very first attempt the Niger Delta made to pull out of "One-Nigeria". Ojukwu was still loving one Nigeria and was ready to crush anyone whose activities threatened the survival of "One-Nigeria". Ojukwu even so loved "One-Nigeria" that he twice sent back to the North his own fellow Igbos who managed to escape to Enugu from the 1966 pogroms in the North. Ojukwu himself confessed he did that because he was genuinely convinced initially that Gowon was on a reconciliatory mission. A person who was still hoping to reconcile with a system that had already killed thousands of his own people. And you call such a person a seer of the future? Why could Ojukwu and Ironsi not declare Biafra while they were still in power and calling the shots?
Isaac Boro and Niger Deltans had already woken up before Ojukwu and Biafrans later painfully realized it was daybreak.

The real terrorist are IPOB and Niger Delta Avengers. The fulanis only attack farmers for grazing their cattle while the IPOB and Avengers attacks oil installations which affects the economy and electricity.

MrDavidson:
If truly he was arrested, the military must have had very incontrovertible evidence to warrant that and nothing will happen because of that.
Smh.... These people want to turn these traditional rulers into demigods. Until people who have seen themselves as being untouchable are pushed away from their high horse, Nigeria may never really break free. The time is now.

blackpanda:
The oil well they are now destroying?? So when they have successfully driven all the oil companies away, what next Who will do the cleanup? And with which funds??

Be rational. The NDA bombings has nothing to do with development of nigerdelta. If nigeria becomes like somalia, even u that is opening teeth will suffer too. But more importantly nigerdelta will suffer the most

2wizkids:
i have never commented on any of the ND avengers thread before, but i have to give it to these guys-THEY ARE GOOD, i feel somewhat proud to be from the NIGER-DELTA, someone once said when the niger deltans start their craze say boko boys dey learn, truely these guys have held Nigeria to a stand still. complete resource control or nothing, Guys(NDA) if you are reading this , we are proud of you if you need donations you can open that on your website, i will gladly drop what ever i can to support the ministry to the permanent site. @the guy who said Niger delta is the Niger in Nigerian while the rest na ians........guy your head dey shake ...salute PROUDLY

Consultville:
I pity these Avengers, when Buhari starts now hmmmm

adeyemi2015:
ND Avenger is following Nairaland on Twitter. It's obvious they are reading and paying attentions to the responses of the Nigerian Youths on their activities.
I think we should admonish them to embrace peace, Nigerians ain't smiling at the moment, and they should stop compounding the challenges facing the Country at large!
We need peace to achieve the Change we asked and voted for!
Enough of incessant Bombings!

johnsonpolice:
i think its hight time buhari and jeg should address these fools,before this con3 will go on fire.the fool above me making comment thats everybody should manage it resources,where were you,when nigeria was busy feeding on housa and yuroba resource? Now that nigeria used the money they made on our resource to developed asin drill the oil. it now becomes there resource.they should go to hall with their oil, weather nigeria will die.politics of trabalism.

Esseite:
[b]Buhari had the power and support of the North and Sw, all he needed to do was to draw the SS and SE, despite how the election result tilted, if only he had shown equal love, he would have Nigeria at his palms because showing EQUAL love to all Nigerians even when some didn't vote you cripples that region from opposition totally..

How come SS and SE are crying more that PDP Politicians? because they feel marginalized
How Biafra is now very known internationally? because they feel marginalized
How come the militants are up in arms? because they feel marginalized

and the opposition would work with the minds of the (marginalized) people.

Truth be told, I love Buhari no doubt and believe him, but at this rate, we would crash eventually.

THAT STATEMENT OF 97% AND 5% KILLED THIS ADMINISTRATION.

MATT 12 VS 25 - "Any country that divides itself into groups which fight each other will not last very long"

Nigeria is Divided on so many lines today, Political/Religious/Tribal/Regional.... God help us

Ok

What is a sovereign state?

- In international law, a sovereign state is a nonphysical juridical entity that is represented by one centralized government that has sovereignty over a geographic area.

-International law defines sovereign states as having a permanent population, defined territory, one government, and the capacity to enter into relations with other sovereign states.

-It is also normally understood that a sovereign state is neither dependent on nor subjected to any other power or state.

Issues:

- They want install their people and control our resources. E.g Jonathan would be their Prime Minister or President
- MNC's would be paying them taxes and royalties, there would be lots of cash available to them.
- They would still not be richer. Their predicaments would not improve. Even pollutions would increase thereby degrading their natural sources of livelihood.
- Issues of legitimacy would arise and the Western powers would do the needful.
- Nigeria and its Army would deal with them accordingly in line with global practise.
- Rise in militancy is expected in the region various groups would emerge for example Bini's, Efik, Esan, Ibibio, Igbo, Annang, Oron, Ijaw, Itsekiri, Yoruba, Isoko, Urhobo, Ukwuani, Kalabari and Ogoni would join the fray.
- Economically, our Naira would still be a unifying currency for Nigeria and the so called sovereign state.
- My brothers from the South East would be divided along the lines of joining or remaining in one Nigeria

What nonsense
