I worry about the intelligence of our youths...

What is the relationship between the topic and the drivel you just typed?

If you are sincere and old enough, you should have known seen it was a decent reply for insulting a people, please next time don't quote others on things that aren't your business, thanks.

Pesuzok:
So what then happens when Biafra comes on board?

We will pull out like foreign investors, leaving Nigeria Stock Exchange on their kneels, causing lots of unemployment. Alot of companies will close to relocate down East, not the other way.

Ijaya123:
It is not business as usual anymore.

For all those myopic lots crying witch-hunt, your wailing days just started.

One thing gladens me, while you are noising into our affairs, we are busy building empires buying up South West, converting you to a tenent in your land, and employing you, thereby making you a modern day slave, check it, we've started the conquest.

Benikuuse:
you people brought the civil war upon yourselves. But the south are also living in borno and other northern states and boko haram is not killing only the north

Sometimes l wonder how some people graduated from college, who brought insurgency to the North, was it Biafra, was it not North? Am sorry for replying a low brainer .

heykims:
Those making comparison
Did those that spearheaded the campaign antagonize or blackmail d reigning govt?
Do they have a 'Biafra' radio that primarily specialises in blackmailing d country
Is their 'Kanu' foreign based who sneaked into d country in a criminal manner?
Did d agitators of secesion call d UK a zoo?
Was their 'Buhari' insulted by d campaigners of secession?
Answer those questions and compare approaches

The reason why I'm always against this call for Biafra is just coz they were silent all through GEJ's tenure only to surface when power left the southern region..

It goes a long way to show how foolish a set of people are, fighting to keep there enemies close. Why will you need Biafrans since they are the problem of Nigeria since 1960? Keep deceiving your like, while your roofs goes brown.

They are soft targets... Sai Buhari !!!

buharisbae:
I quite agree with that of anambra buhh that of abia and IMO joke of the century abia people that have never seen tarred road in their life

I don't need to insult you, but check it... the whole 5 Eastern states made first 10, the only Western state that came in was Lagos as 7th. Go ahead and believe anything.

Squares:
I actually don't like aregbesola but this hijab thing doest have anything to do with him directly. it was a court order. All Christians has to do is to appeal the judgment. those clerics went to far. if u want your daughters to wear hijab pls take then to surajudeen ausarudeen Muslim college etc not a christian named schools.

Thanks for your unbiased opinion.

They have "technically" acquired a transmitter, more disciples... #APC#Technical

Blind people will believe him, after crafting the design.

Thank God l didn't vote this disappointment of a party APC.

abu12:
they better reconsider their stand b4 is 2late. If they wont 2sell their land 2fulani heardmens, they shld give their price. But saying they wont give land 2fulani is a wrong idea, because ibomem and women are also in other people land lookin 4 dia dailybread. Imagine D socalled anambra professional league, whom themselve reside in lagos, coming home to tell d assembly not 2pass d bill. they shld no that, ibo are also migrant.

Poor education is not the same as poor reasoning. Where ever the is he pays for the space, even the Americans in Nigeria. Nobody is giving land for free, just like what Fulanis asking for free grazing land nationwide.

MightyPee:
hmmm, this man is a wise man, but I will start taking him serious only when he ask for his daughter sacked from CBN,



after all, she wasn't there by merit.

Keep waiting, he's coming.

Victorvexz:
Lesotho is a landlocked country inside South Africa, but due to they being landlocked, the depend on South Africa for somethings, like imports, and they also accept South African currency and use it, sometimes u will think the country is not independent on its own. That is how Biafra will be, the five landlocked Igbo state has limited resources, and it is landlocked, with no single assess to see for imports, to cut the story short, Biafra benefits no one

Why are you so obsessed about the Igbos, surprisingly today you are not found better than the Igbos, ranging from Technology,Agriculture,Sports,Education,Commerce and Entertainment .

We don't have natural resources yet you are shouting "don't let Biafra go"; is either you are deceiving yourself or sick for wanting your enemy.

irunooboo:
No biafra. Get that in ur thick skull

Imagine how obsessed you are about Biafra, what a schizophrenic. Your reply rate on Nairaland proves one thing, you don't have a job.

irunooboo:
Must you resort to insults? Can't you counter my points if u have the fact? Biafra is dead and buried

One man is dead and buried, he took poison... #Awowo#Cowarrrrds

irunooboo:
He better die in jail than continue that biafra rubbish. Biafra will never come

Beggers, looking for free money to repair their brown roof.#BailoutForever

Sweetlemon:
As a physical and social psychologist, I study people and society behaviour. Look at the country today, Practically every region apart from the SW is neck deep in one ethnic, political or religious crisis or the other. Most are targeted against the FG so I will bring out the NC from the rest of the other regions.

The North central and the South west are the only regions that have never been known to take up arms or try to destabilize the FG in any way just because they feel "cheated" or "marginalized". Yes Yorubas may make some annoying noises when they are not included in govt making but they don't fight. The FG because of that. Most SS and SE sympathizers of militants claim they support the bombing of pipelines give the excuse of 5% statement Buhari made. Even if he did say that he won't treat the 5% equally with the rest, let's take a look at GEJ's statement of "Amala and ewedu" and "motor park touts". Did Yorubas in Lagos start bombing oil depots in Lagos because of that? It was as glaring as daylight the GEJ's govt hardly had Yorubas in high places, yet did OPC decide to take up arms against the govt? Even if and even when some Yoruba groups start misbehaving, a larger portion of the SW population would always totally disown such groups or persons immediately thereby reducing the powers of the troublesome groups. This is because terrorist groups thrive best when their host communities sympathize with them or even keep quiet.

This is the very mistake the NW and NE made with boko haram. Most kept quiet and a few even gave them kudos and before anyone knew it, BH had formed alliance with world terror groups and the host communities are the very ones now feeling the direct heat. This is the EXACT direction the SS and SE are headed or even worse because they are not only encouraging the militants and Biafran agitators but also cheering them on.

Now let's look at states with the highest and lowest concentration of non-indegenes.

Lagos - Most developed state in the country, the center and headquarters of all private sector companies
Ogun - Boasts of the highest number of educational institutions, highest number of industries, highest number of growing investors
Kano - Most developed state in the core north, very top business destination from all corners of the country. There's hardly any successful businessman in Nigeria that hasn't been to Kano.
Kaduna - Political hub of the entire North including NC. Budding commercialization, houses the highest number of expatriates and foreigners in the North.
Edo - From Ekpoma to Auchi to Okada to Benin, you'd see and great deal of non-indegenes contributing to the IGR of Edo state and even holding top govt positions. After Cross River, Edo happens to be the most peaceful state in the SS even while generating a considerable amount of IGR if used wisely.

These are other states with high number of non-indegenes but they are mostly in their state capitals

Oyo (Ibadan) - A budding city that can stand on it's own as a state has more than enough non-Yorubas to confuse you as to whether it's a Yoruba land or not. Very peaceful.
Rivers/Delta/Cross River (Portharcourt and Obio Akpo/Warri/Calabar)-Very resourceful cities visited by businessmen all over the country and inhabited by non-indegenes and high number of expatriates however, the recent rise of militancy is threatening this as oil companies are beginning to shut operations in the SS.

The poorest and least developed states in Nigeria like Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi, Ebonyi, Bayelsa, Ekiti, etc. have the least number of non-indegenes.

The facts from the above lists are definitely not mere co-incidence. There is a direct relationship between being accommodating and being highly successful. I don't know much about Kano, but in Ogun and Lagos state, you can head or own practically anything you wish without going through the rigours of all that state of origin thing most states use ranging from landed properties to businesses, and even heading parastals. The only thing you can't head are traditional stools. The typical extended family in SW and many in NC have mixture of both Muslims and Christians and the heavens did not fall.
Let me tell you something, Yorubas do NOT like Northerners any more than SE or SS do. A lot of Yorubas I've spoken to want their Odua republic as much as you want yours. But they handle theirs a lot more maturely. Instead of throwing tantrums and sponsoring or sympathizing with terrorists, they go back to the drawing board, re-strategize, and before you know it, they've landed a good deal. They are patient enough to wait for decades if need be. Look at Lagos state for instance that has been in the opposition since forever, but today look at them now. Yorubas have mastered the art of dining with their enemies just to get a big chunk from a deal because they realize that unnecessary fights only make a nuisance and laughing stock of them thereby achieving nothing because you cannot carve out a successful country by going to war. It has never succeeded anywhere in the world. The spoils from the war will always come back to haunt them.

Now what's cowardly about all what I've mentioned so far? The ability to reason rationally and not allow strong emotions control how you reason when dealing with political issues does not in any way mean cowardice but simple diplomacy. Quite on the contrary, Warriors from the Oyo and Ife empires were the most powerful in West Africa (history class for another day) Someone mentioned in one front page comment that Yorubas can't fight. Spotting Linda Ikeji and Wizkid beef and I laughed because I remembered how some trouble making Igbo kings were mercilessly flogged in Akure and a town in Oyo state for holding traditional titles in Yoruba land! So evidently, Yorubas know when and how to pick their fights and when and where to draw the line.

What am I saying? Would it kill us to borrow a leaf from the Yorubas and learn how to relate with others politically, economically, and socially? Instead of bombing and causing unrests just because our "brother" lost elections, would it kill the SS and SE to instead go back the drawing board and figure out how best they can reclaim the FG or even if they want secession, figure out how best to go about it without destroying their own lands? If we eventually get our own country how do we start all over again after polluting our lands and waters and driving away investors from our oil? Little by little SS leaders are beginning to cry out that they can no longer fund this and that. How will there be money when federal allocation from the oiyel will greatly reduce courtesy of militancy? You cannot be cheering on terrorists and still expect to eat your cake and have it.

Do you now see that it is actually better to be a "coward" than a self-destructive warrior?

Which state of the world practices the type of federalism were states are dependent on federal every month which we practice in Nigeria?
Stop fooling yourself with "bring lets share" editorial of yours, let every state state start harnessing what they have, stop sapping them and yet you have nothing to offer them.

SuperS1Panther:
But your towns and streets were renamed and your fathers' properties were hijacked an dyou were turned to 5th class citizen of the Nigerian state, as well as war booty/slaves.

Hahahahah ... Gullibles, Please traveling is part of education. Port Harcourt is not Igbo state,but has some indigenous Igbos, after the war they changed there names slightly, example Umu Okoro was called Urumu Okoro.
Who graduated you?

Am talking of losing a state, and you are talking of streets that were never in South East, but all the way Port Harcourt.

fuckDmod:
kwara war was nt a yoruba tribe war,afonja betrayed oyo empire nd decided to secede nd form his own empire,so he was left alone.afonja fought alone against the whole fulani tribe.its just like enugu fighting against the whole fulani tribe.stop re-writing historyjust to masturbate urself to orgasm due to hatred for yoruba

Kwara use to have Obas, but it wasn't a Yoruba state, l guess... Igbo state. Today they have Emirates, the Emirs, so your people betrayed your there own to the North?

SuperS1Panther:
I repeat, Yorubas nail the coffin of your fraud of a nation till this day. It is buried under 6feet forever and ever. whine, cry and kill yourselves over it, we lock the grave of biafrau.d in 1970 and threw the key into the lagoon.

If you want to open the lock of the grave, jump into the lagoon -- for the key.

Biafra fought war and didn't lose an inch of there land... while Yorubber didn't fight but lost Kwara.

paschu:
Bros edit your post. You did not need to REPEAT the whole crap as quote.

Please just help me do that, am busy now, thanks.

Em5:
It would have been so easy if anger could solve problems. We would have chosen the path of the prophecy of the legendary Bob Marley of blessed memory. “A total destruction, the only solution.

They aren’t no use, no one can stop them now!” Quite obviously, the civil war that seemed to have been avoided in March 2015 on the heels of former President Jonathan’s concession of defeat to retired General Muhammadu Buhari, is now looming large more than ever before. Who didn’t feel a chill up the spine when the carefully choreographed theatre of the absurd played out at the collation centre of election results on that fateful sunny day when ex-Minister Orubebe starred as the notorious bad boy and angel of doom? Who didn’t feel the eerie air of silence that seemed to have paralysed the nation in expectation of the second Act?
Again, who did not heave a sigh of relief when Goodluck Jonathan finally did the needful and called Muhammadu Buhari on telephone to concede the obvious defeat that was only waiting to be announced? Who?

Of what relevance is that today, though, in the face of dreadful realities portending danger and misery for the Niger Delta and the rest of the country?

Indeed, every fair-minded analyst knew what it meant for Nigeria when news broke out that former President Jonathan performed the historical act that was done before him only by Dimeji Bankole at a lower level, to concede electoral defeat and congratulate the rightful winner. We knew the pit of hell that Nigeria was rescued from and agreed that Jonathan deserved accolades.

Tragically too, we knew very many things that we did not want Jonathan to get away with. One generally known fact is that no nation on earth makes budgetary provisions for the re-election campaign of any political leader. Nigeria was no exception. Yet information dominated the airwaves of the free flow of hard currency for gratifications to mobilise support from all nooks and corners for Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election. Ridiculous pictures hit the airwaves, of an incumbent president kneeling and crawling for prayers before witches, pastors and imams. Millions of dollars were paid for spiritual salvation and physical manipulations.

Today, thanks to the dogged but expected efforts of President Muhammadu Buhari, these issues are no longer speculations but common knowledge that will soon be widely validated by judicial pronouncements. Government and party officials, who knew so well that there was no budgetary allocation for the re-election campaign of the president are now trying in vain to feign ignorance of the source of the money that was disbursed to them to prosecute the president’s re-election campaign. The giver and the taker of stolen money are often considered trapped in the same cage in the spirit of the law. Ignorance is no excuse.

The same applies to a cousin or next-of-kin of the president, who is officially awarded a $40 million contract and is paid upfront in full for doing nothing.

A lot happened prior to the elections too. Sanusigate ended up in some Pricewater charade with whistleblowers rather than the perpetrators of crime being hunted beyond all bounds. The perpetrators revelled in triumph and emptiness, believing in the power of the highest political instance. The brigandage of an elitist clique called the shots in the land much to the amazement and fury of the discerning minds. A nation was simply bastardised by drinkers of liquor and many who should have known better.

No doubt that the anger was immense that Jonathan sought to paper-over with the virtue of conceding an electoral defeat that was not orchestrated to look as such. The sweetness of the moment was compounded by memories of the vicious rape committed on a single nation in the belief of raping the nation on a turn-by-turn basis and from region to region. Worse still, it was led by a man who, Nigerians erroneously believed, was blessed with the highest possible academic decoration as a symbol of intellectual superiority.

Now, we know that former President Jonathan is immensely constrained intellectually by virtue of his actions and omissions. Discerning Nigerians – not the half-educated and emotionally overwhelmed soldier-bees – had long come to terms with this reality and accepted that an internationally brokered soft-landing (even though only speculated) for the ex-president may be grudgingly accepted in the interest of peace. That much was the status quo until Sahara Reporters threw the bombshell. We will come to that later.

No one anticipated the enormity of the theft that the former president supervised until fingers started pointing at him repeatedly, as the legitimator of the loots that turned the Central Bank to a self-service snack bar. The deliberate weakening of the Nigerian Armed Forces through the free ride granted the Generals to loot the coffers blind was complemented by the suspected arming of rebel forces in the creeks with warships from Norway, as far as we know in public space. Former President Obasanjo worried aloud about fighters sponsored by President Jonathan, who were receiving military training overseas. His open letter claiming the stock-piling of weapons by Jonathan’s men is no secret to the nation. Today, some militants are boasting of missiles to strike the presidential palace.

It all started with the curious and sudden resurgence of secession agitation led by one pathetic but fully misguided agent of the invisible forces that was quickly tamed and quarantined by the forces of re-organised authority. Having been frustrated in that angle, the forces obviously regrouped and activated the alternative option of restarting the Niger Delta militancy, again, under the pretext of marginalisation.

They proceeded to launch treasonable sabotage attacks on the economic lifeline of the country and did not care that they were subjecting their region to the more serious collateral impact of environmental hardship. While speculations have been rife on the evil project being the brainchild of political sponsorship, no one saw the bombshell coming that indeed elected and trusted officers of state in charge of public funds would come anywhere near sympathising with the diabolical notion of the criminals in the creek.

Indeed, like me, many Nigerians are waiting and hoping they will wake up soon from a deep sleep and understand that the bombshell exploded by Sahara Reporters was just a dream after all.

The yet-unrefuted Sahara Reporters report contends that governors of the Niger Delta region with the exception of Cross-River and Edo State are presently in an open and brazen gang-up to kill the war against corruption as it affects their region by calling for the abandonment of corruption charges against politicians from their region. This is supposed to be in return for the cessation of pipeline-bombing hostilities. In this extremely outrageous ploy, it is yet unclear if they enlisted the support of the only government Minister so far perceived to be hardworking and productive, or if this Minister – himself from the region of the tamed trailblazing secessionist agitators – has been a part of the criminal design all along.

No surprise that the teeming majority of Nigerians who voted for a clean-up of the system to reset the button of decency, are now up in arms and extremely infuriated. The blackmail that was planned by these governors, who now stand under the serious suspicion of at best sympathising with the criminal activities of the Niger Delta militants or at worst, having sponsored them all along, seems predicated on the obnoxious thought to fall back upon, that the resources being from the Niger Delta justifies corruption by politicians from that same region. They, therefore, hold the belief that the state can be legitimately blackmailed in this respect.

Many have been wondering why former President Goodluck Jonathan in his abundance of wisdom has so far failed to speak up on the atrocious acts of his kinsmen. Now, there is a sense of knowing why it has been so. Yet, a more intelligent approach of openly disowning the rampaging criminals, whether he sponsors them quietly or not, would have been the least strategic move to expect. It is reminiscent of the game that he played in the run-up to the Presidential election of 2015. Even though all indications pointed to his re-election ambition and efforts, he kept mute on the issue for a very long time and even denied it outright when confronted directly. On one occasion, he was quoted as telling his predecessor, Olusegun Obasanjo that “I have never told anyone I wanted to run for re-election”.

With the bunch of pedestrian advisers surrounding him, he will, sooner or later, end up ostracising himself in the international community, where the same people who have been awarding him questionable democracy prizes will begin to question his integrity and the role he is playing in destabilising his country. Most pathetic of all is the lack of constructive remorse in the attitude of the former president under the evidential yoke of consuming vices. With evidence mounting by the day, of the unprecedented monumental scale of corruption directly coordinated by this former president, he still nurses the hope of bullying his way out of the stinking quagmire.

In his failure to learn from history, he is unable to see what his presidential bullying has turned his party (the PDP) into. He bullied his way into presidential candidacy in the spirit of ‘having it my way or the highway’. Denying his party, the option of a strategically more qualified candidate, he ran for re-election and lost woefully and today, his party is in tatters. Again, he is trying the same diabolical tactic using the Niger Delta as a springboard. His pawns are the ganja-smoking sons of Jah and militant-minded governors of Nyesom Wike quality that were foisted on us by allegedly compromised Supreme Court judges. In the end, all signs are pointing to the fact that the Niger Delta may as well be left in tatters like PDP as a historical presidential souvenir. If the meaning of “Goodluck” is to leave a trail of disaster wherever the former president goes, I will gleefully wish the Niger Delta good luck.

For now, though, the fury and outrage that the so-called governors of the South-South plus Ibe Kachikwu have triggered in the public should be encouraging enough for President Muhammadu Buhari to bring out the General in him pretty quickly in spite of age-induced frailty. Indeed, in the depth of my anger at this willful sabotage to spite the aspirations of a nation for good governance and a return to casual sanity, I would have advised the president to summon an emergency meeting of the Council of State to declare the urgent need to arrest former President Goodluck Jonathan there and there, declare a State of Emergency in the rebel states of the Niger Delta, arrest the governors and have them tried for treason, and declare an all-out war on the Niger Delta until the militants are wiped off the face of the earth.

Unfortunately, though, anger does not solve problems and innocent souls will bear the brunt. No matter what happens, this is a battle that Muhammadu Buhari must win by hook or by crook. By defiance and doggedness! Without surrendering, without retreating! No region in any nation is ever granted a free ride to corruption – golden egg or not. Nigeria will not be an exception.

Every well-meaning Nigerian will now be best advised to brace up for the impending revolution to topple the forces that will not let Nigeria be. At individual level and at the level of voluntary, non-governmental organisations, the time is fast approaching to seize the sceptre and grab the bull by the horn. Preparations should start here and now, to pick up the gauntlet and deny evil forces the taste of victory. Nigeria must survive and together, we will blow ‘em all up!

Rather when too much Yoruba men and women are at Owambe and you need a qualified person from a group of people that have survived without government patronage and 20 pounds to save what would naturally end up as a disaster.

Must you go for the kill? Nna idi bad.

Benikuuse:
Those who are insulting the government for this are very stupid. What will the federal government do when the illiterate unconscious delta boys are bombing pipelines and putting the country's economy to a stop

You should close that hole of mouth, are your governors elected to create wealth or wait for proceeds from Niger Delta. You see why some people are tagged "lazy"?

And yet... He's building a refinery, hoping to loop oil from down South South wells. Nigeria Eeeeh !!!.
Imagine how gullible people can be.

irunooboo:
I support the government on this. Lock up the 5% people if they can't keep their mouth shut. There is no absolute freedom anywhere in the world. For the fact that we are in democracy doesn't give anyone the right to criticize or condemn the government. Buhari is not the lilly livered GEJ who tolerates rumor mongers. The said man is even from the 5% region so his arrest is justifiable. God bless Buhari

This is why you will never get to see oil again from 5% . NDA will deal with you, till your roof turns brown as usual.
