the question have akwa ibom been allowed to manage their oil resources ....when we all share 80% of their oil revenue ...what do u expect

Nobody is allowed to control their resources in Nigeria. I have no sympathy for Akwa Ibom or the South South in that regard. They know that they are being exploited in Nigeria but they dont want to do anything about it. When they see other people from the South East actively agitating and protesting for restructuring or to break away from the same oppressive Nigeria, they dont join in their large numbers. Nigeria is draining their Oil wealth while they are relaxing and talking nonsense

Now someone is posting what they generate even though Akwai Ibom will never see much of that wealth. They deserve it, may be some day they will finally get sense.

There is no evidence to prove that these photos are from biafra. You just pick some random photos of some kids playing with wooden guns and claim they are biafran kids. There is no biafran soldier training them there. And by the way, why are they not wearing biafran troops uniforms.

Its just one of their many lies. In 1968, Biafra had no shortage of manpower to fight in the war to be recruiting children. What there was shortage of was ammunition.

Even during the tail end of the war in 1969 when the shortage of manpower started to show, those recruited were middle teenagers from 16 up, but never kids as young as these.

What Biafra had back then was the Biafran boys company

Has it translated into a better standard of living for Akwaibomites? Thats what matters.

The southwest deserves to get President in 2023. They worked for it, they earned it. It will get mass support like MKO in 1993. It will be the end of the old guard. A new Nigeria will be born.

Thats greed. Nobody from the South West should talking of Presidency in 2023 when the South West have already had 8 full years with Obasanjo. The Presidency should either go to the South East who have not had at all, or go to the South South to let them complete their 8 years which Goodluck never completed

The South West has no business with Presidency in 2023

Africonji:
Willie Obiano is a disgrace. You will never see Okwute stoop so low. How can a whole state governor be dressing like a ragamuffin

Anambrarians did not elect him for his dress sense, they only care if he is performing

One thing I do know is that Igbo land will eventually become an independent nation. Nigeria has failed in every ramification, it will never work. What this generation owes the future generations is to try and get out of the irredeemable failure called Nigeria and give that generation an independent homeland where they can manage their land and resources for a better tomorrow

Anyone hoping that Nigeria will get better is dreaming, it will only get progressively worse

Nta lite kuo ume? For talita cumi? Its possible

Militarised democracy

I dont onow why Ugwuanyi has decided to destroy this beautiful park with his useless statues

Hellraiser77:
If your term "landlocked" that means igbos don't have a beach then you maybe right

If you are implying SE can't recieve containers direct from the ocean then you cant be more wrong

We don't need a coastline to acces the sea

People keep talking as if being landlocked is something major, it is not. What matters is if one has access to the sea to import or export goods and services. Some people have come to believe that you must have a coast line to be able import or export, this is simply not true. All you need to have access to the sea is an international waterway that is deep enough to take barges and is close enough to the sea to make economic sense. The South East has at least three of these points at Onitsha, Oguta in Imo and Obuaku in Abia. They all have acceess to the sea

The Apex court has declared the candidature of Lyon null and void. From my own understanding, the time for substituting candidates has elapsed. Therefore, the only difference in the rerun is that the affected party that was excluded will now be put on the ballot. As far as the Supreme court is concerned, APC is not a participant in the 2019 election and the decision of a lower court cannot change that.

Charmingrascal:
You don't like the 'terrorist' tag but you keep threatening people and instigating your youth against other tribes and people who share different ideology from yours.


Isn't that how terrorists operate?

No thats not how terrorists operate. Terrorist kill people! Threat without action is not terrorism

If Britain that created Nigeria can give two out of its 4 constituent areas referendum, then no Nigerian should referring to Nigeria as indissoluble or indivisible.

Britain gave Northern Ireland referendum in 1972 and Scotland in 2014.

If those who created Nigeria have shown that even them are not indivisible, I dont know how a Nigerian who was only created in 1914 can be talking about indivisibility

pricklewane:
OK we thank them.
You Igbos also should be thanking same coup plotters for the doom they brought upon you, from the mass killing of Igbos in the north to the death of over 2 million Igbo during the Biafra war.

The mass killings were already happening up in the North, Jos 1945 and Kano in 1953. As for the civil war, that couldn't have been stopped. Igbos were bound to fight for their freedom at some point

Please please do not confuse issues and do not confuse yourself. For avoidance of doubt THERE IS NOTHING LIKE REFERENDUM UNDER NIGERIAN LAW. No matter how u sugarcoat it, Nigerian law doesnt recognise any referendum ok. Britain on the other hand doesnt have a written constitution, i hope u know that. And EU laws are not the same with Nigeria. Do not confuse yourself. Any attempt at referendum is futile and a nullity. It cant be enforced anywhere in Nigeria and the government legally cannot even recognise it.

All your stories about Atiku, midwest region etc has no bearing with 1999 Constitution. I repeat, do not confuse yourself with gibberish.

Have a nice day.

Dont worry about referendum. When Nigeria breaks up, it may not be through referendum. It may just be that all of us have become tired of "one Nigeria" and decided to go our separate ways just as we were before the British came to join us together

Happier times. It was 2014, Governor Obiano was still in his first term, Prince Arthur Eze was in PDP and there was nothing called APC.

Governor Obiano went to visit Billionaire Oil mogul, Prince Arthur Eze in his palatial country home in Ukpo, and Arthur Eze shocked the Governor and his entourage by handing Governor Obiano a cheque for one million Dollars. The money was a donation to the Anambra State government to aid security efforts being implemented by the state government

Are People mad??, So because he's a governor he should not wear his Jeans In Peace again

Ask them oo. A man is in his official residence rocking rugged jeans and some people want to have heart attack for nothing

allthingsgood:
its a good thing u mentioned AU and UN charter because those Charters also guarantee territorial integrity of countries i.e. all nations of the world have the right to maintain their territorial borders without any part breaking off.
Not to mention there is no legal framework for secession under any law
Plus any attempt at referendum under nigerian law is illegal null and void and of no legal relevance.

There is no legal framework for referendum in the British constitution too. But Britain gave Scotland referendum in 2014 and also used referendum to leave the EU in 2016

Even in Nigeria, referendum is nothing new. It was referendum that made Atiku Abubakar a Nigerian in 1961. It was also a referendum that created the Midwest Region in 196. Referendum does not have to be in the constitution, the National Assembly can order one at any time

allthingsgood:
Under which law

The UN and AU charters which Nigeria is a signatory to allows any indigenous people to seek self determination or independence

If not for those international laws, Nigeria would still be the property of Britain

So basically, what the man is saying is that the civil war was about fighting for Oil.

They won the civil war and thats why Bayelsa Oil belongs to Jigawa.

2023 is the focus of many people even it is most likely going to be another clueless idiot who will be elected into office that year

It is the right of all indigenous people to decide if they want to remain part of a country or not

Pleasant01:
no one is bragging about landmass.... let's reason this, if Oyo state(a state with 26000km2 landmass) is given 10 billion naira and anambra(a state with 6000km2) is also given 10 billion naira which do you think should be more developed... but still anambra is not as developed as Oyo..

This one thinks that landmass means development. Its just to show how some Nigerians reason. Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria but may Yorubas use that state state as a yardstick for the development in the entire South West. Some Northerners do the same with Abuja. When you now take away Lagos and Abuja, because as capital territories, they are far ahead due to massive government investment, you find out that certain people become naked

Is there any state that can claim to be more developed than Anambra besides the federal capital territories of Lagos and Abuja?

People start talking about population, IGR, landmass and erosion, simply because they have nothing to use in claiming that their state is more developed than Anambra

helinues:
From land Mass to population.

Chinedu, oya drop that goal post ..

What has population got to do with how developed you are? Austria has a population less than that of Kano state but the entire Nigeria is not as developed as Austria

Pleasant01:
this is the list of the most populated states in Nigeria.... what else do you have to say

Anyone can cook up those numbers. However, population is not development. I still stand by what I said, that beside Lagos and Abuja, no state in Nigeria can claim to be more developed than Anambra

Okwyjesus:
Bro Abia is moving to APC once they field Otti

Why didnt it move to otti twice he ran under APGA?

Miracle1991:
just swear if you're very sure that Ipob never kill anyone.
Stop beating around the bush.

There is no confirmed case of IPOB killing anybody

helinues:
A lot ooo... We have to consider the area of development in landmass %

States are based on population, not landmass. The population of Anambra is as large as that of Oyo, if not more. Outside Ibadan, what other developed urban areas are in Oyo? Probably none. As much as Ibadan is a big city, it is no where near the combined development of Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi, all in Anambra

helinues:
Iyen Anambra state that is less than 5,000 km/2 in land mass.

The whole 5 SE States landmass is almost the same size with Oyo state alone yet you guys can't develop it .

Truly, you guys slept off the day they were sharing shame for free .

What has size got to do with development?
