laudate NIGERIA IS NOT A COUNTRY, SOME OF U HATE PEOPLE U SHARE A COUNTRY WITH YET U WANT TO CONTINUE.

BIAFRA OFFERS A WAY OUT. IN BIAFRA LOVE IS THE WATCH WORD.

IF UR NOT LOVING OR CARING, PLS DONT COME.

WE WILL BUILD BIAFRA WITH LOVE.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I have no connection with Biafra. I will always remain a Nigerian for life!

hammerF:
SEE U ARE NOT IGALA, U ARE NOT YORUBA, U ARE NOT IGBO BUT YET U ARE HEAR CRYING OVER IGALA AND IGBO MATTER.

U SURE SAY U WELL SOOOO?

Everyone can see that the person with a health challenge is you. You are including other ethnic groups by force into your Biafra.

Like I told you before, there are over 150 ethnic groups in Nigeria. You must have failed history, geography and social studies in school, that is why you think there are only few tribes like the Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa and Igala, in the whole of this country.

hammerF:
ALL THE PEOPLE WHOSE MOTHER TIE TWO PIECE WRAPPERS ARE BIAFRANS.

THIS SIMPLE CRITERIA HAVE ALREADY EXCLUDED THE AFONJA.

Your ignorance is encyclopedic!!

hammerF:
U ARE AN HONORARY AFONJA. IN FACT U ARE AN AFONJA DENYING HIS HERITAGE.

HENCE FOUGHT, I BAPTIZE U AFONJA ONE OF NAIRALAND. GO AND DENY UR CLAN NO MORE.

Chai!! Your ignorance is encyclopedic. Please provide proof to show that Laudate is Yoruba. Include the name of his town and local govt area. Every correct answer gets 20 marks.

hammerF:
ARE U IGALA? WHO MADE U THE MOUTH PIECE FOR THE IGALAS?

ANYHOW U LIKE, PUT IT, BIAFRA IS A BEAUTIFUL THING. IT MEANS FREEDOM FROM SHARING COUNTRY WITH HATERS.

IT MEANS LIBERATION FROM HATERS.

IT MEANS UNITY AND PROGRESS. IT MEANS JUSTICE AND EQUITY.

IT MEANS AFTER ALL THE BATTLE AND SUFFERING, VICTORY IS OURS.

O BEFORE I FORGET, MANY GROUPS INCLUDING THE IGALAS ARE ALREADY APPLYING TO JOIN.

THEY ARE JUST WAITING FOR THE MOMENT OF UN REFERENDUM.

Stop telling lies!! Who are the Igalas that are applying to join Biafra?? When was this meeting held?? Was it in the palace of the Attah of Igala and his cabinet? Chai!!

hammerF:
laudate we will leave ur afonja ass in Oduduwa republic, before e go clear 4 ur eye that this is 2017.

Too bad, for you. Laudate is not an Afonja. There are over 150 other ethnic groups in Nigeria. Or did your teacher forget to teach you this fact?

hammerF:
Dreams are powerful.

Martin Luther King had a dream.

Joseph had a dream.

Ojukwu had a dream and for three years it was a reality.

Nnamdi Kanu has a dream. Trump has a dream.

And we thank God almight for dreams.

Dreams Die First, is a book by James Hardley Chase. I want to encourage you to read it. Ojukwu's dream eventually died & he had to run to Ivory Coast.

All the other dreams you listed up here (except for Nnamdi Kanu's own) came to pass, because the dreamers were in other countries. Their dreams also became a reality, because they did not try to force other ethnic groups to align with them.

Your own dreams to annex other ethnic groups into your proposed republic or to dictate their collective destiny for them, like you want to do for the Igala, will never work. Write it down. Nnamdi Kanu can continue dreaming in Kuje. He has nothing else to do.

hammerF:
Guy leave all those pictures ur posting, it make u look mentally deranged.

U have no point, becos nobody is dictating to anybody but requesting. Igala has the right to choose which nation they belong.

Biafra has included the Igala and Idoma, maybe another group in Kogi might be in with a chance if Bini and Esan are called.

Then again maybe not.

You are the one that is mentally deranged. Just because you have lost the plot you have now resorted to insults, right?

When did Biafra hold a meeting with the Igala and Idoma, and those people agreed to be part of your proposed republic? I guess, it was inside your dreams, ba? Let me laugh very well in Chinese, first!!

hammerF:
So u need to shut up and talk wat u know. Dont think u can tell a nation who to invite into their Union.

That is ascertained through referendum. Biafra has a right to issue invitation to any group.

And any nation has a right to decline that invitation and throw it in the trash can. Hope that makes sense to you.

hammerF:
Did u read my post? In case u miss it read the bolded again.

Again your post is clueless. My point was that no ethnic group including the Igbo can dictate who the Igala should align with, neither can they dictate to them their collective destiny. Search for the meaning in a dictionary if you still cannot understand what I wrote up here.

If any nation extends a diplomatic invitation to another, it is up to the second nation to accept or decline it. You cannot dictate to them, if they should align with you. Na by force? Haba!!

sirdamis:
If you think this is fallacy, then the opposite shall be your lot......ijn. This prophecy is not for blind, spiritual dull Christians who have no glimpse of what is happening in the spiritual world.... I key to it ijn....

Let your MFM people change their ways first, so that people can take them seriously. Many of them are downright irresponsible and behave worse than infidels. Instead of them to amend their ways, they will run to church to start praying 'fall-down-and-die' prayers.

Do they think they can deceive God?

hammerF:
U need to stop disturbing Igbos, we have rights to associate with people of our choice.

We have concluded that nothing can make us reside in a country with yoruba after Nigeria disintegrate.

Southern Nigeria is not an Option, if it involves yorubas.

SS/SE and Igala/idoma and some other tribes in Kogi yes.

Yorubas a big No. Yoruba is not an option, we have finished with them, as we dey finish with Hausa.

Biafra, nobody will dominate anybody and every group will produce President and hold every office turn by turn.

Mind u, the Hausa are far better to yorubas. if not for Afonja will Buahri be President? So wat is it sef that we are accusing the Hausa?

Are you this clueless or just vain? Did you even bother to read through my posts on this thread before you jumped in with your asinine assertions?

My posts have focused on one thing: The Igbo people and other ethnic groups have NO blessed right to determine what the collective destiny of the Igala should be, or who the Igala should align with. It is their own choice to make!! Nobody else can make that decision for them.

Instead of you to read through, with some understanding, you are writing an epistle about which tribes in Kogi will be in the same country with your proposed republic. Geez!! Your ignorance is monumental.

hammerF:
ARE U STUPID OR ACTING DUMB?

BIAFRA HAS A RIGHT TO ISSUE INVITATION TO SELECT GROUPS. THE GROUPS HAVE A RIGHT TO DECLINE OR ACCEPT.

EITHER WAY REFERENDUM CONDUCTED TO ASCERTAIN THEIR POSITION.

WE DONT WANT TO SHARE COUNTRY WITH YORUBAS AGAIN. THAT IS THE MAIN POINT OF BIAFRA.

TO BUILD A BIG WALL BETWEEN US AND THE YORUBAS.

Guy, carry whatever problems you have with the Yorubas to one corner. Na how dat one take concern me? My post was addressed to the person trying to take decisions for the Igala and dictate to them, who they should align with. Wetin come dey vex you?? Bikō kpùṛụkalụ m̄..

Yea man...I have seen the 15mins clip of the pot of life on youtube......I know the black and white presidential TV bro....even the Black and white TV that got four legs and stuffs that looks like drawers you have to open it before you turn it on...though I can't remember the make of that TV

Bros, please how old are you if you don't mind my asking??

Longman6:
We simply have a dead conscience in this part of the world.And i see a lot of funny post on Nairaland about why it is not good to be a nice guy, please guys if you want to be successful in life be a nice guy because only irresponsible girls find nice guys repulsive, they just cant stand the aura of sanity around you, they are used to disorder, to the ladies avoid the initial excitement that comes with getting to know a bad boy, ask yourself would he stand with me and my kids when things get hard?. Give me a wife like patience Jonathan, Hillary Clinton and Mitcheel obama,you i just doubled my chances of having a successful life.

Gbam!! Guy, you nailed it! This your post makes sense, die!!

Ndo

O sukaosu nnwa mkpi ya biko sugbuo ya...selense

Eeyah.... you land-grabbers are at it again! Diplomatic relations, kwa! Why must you people always attach yourselves by force to other ethnic groups, ehn? Do you know how ridiculous you sound each time you bring up this imaginary alliance with the Igala people?

cuminside:
Dumb ass, we the Easterners want to leave your useless phony glorified Lagos by all means yet you people wail whenever Biafra is mentioned. You should be ashamed of yourself, If your useless Western region is so peaceful and sophisticated as you claim, why not be man enough to have your yoruba nation alone? I have not seen people as useless and worthless of you Afonjas my entire life. We are proud to stay on our own because we know what we can achieve within very short period of time, but yours is lack of confidence because of your lazy nature. Pathetic indeed

I don talk am!! Dem don start.... the e-warriors have arrived with the sabre-rattling keyboards. I don spread my mat for dis corner, with my zobo, kunu, groundnut and popcorn. Na me go do referee work for here, today! Oya, round one! Let the e-battles, begin!!

emi14:
Congratulations . Use those virtues and values of Yoruba to establish an independent state of odudua. If in realities you're comfortable why haven't you push for independence and quench the conterminous nature of Biafra and Arewa or is that premature or fear of unknown? You have succeeded in tribalizing the sound mindedness and intentions of the OP.

Why should the Yoruba push for independence? Did they tell you they are not ok being in Nigeria? Haba! Leave them to decide their fate on their own, biko. It is strictly their business, and no group should dictate to them whether to push for independence or not. Chikena!

deomelo:
Lagos was already developed even before the existence of Nigeria as a country in 1960 and the FG moved the capital to Lagos because it was already developed and not the other way around.

Even Lagos as the federal capital was confined to Lagos Island.

Lagos has nothing to do with one Nigeria, politicians and leaders from the SE created one Nigeria and still want one Nigeria.

Zik wanted one Nigeria so he teamed up with the North to obtain one Nigeria

Aguiyi-Ironsi cemented one Nigeria system with decree 34. We had 3 different regions and regional autonomy before, but your brother from the SE abolished that system and joined us all together as one Nigeria with his decree 34.

Many of you are too young and don't know anything about Nigeria or how we arrived at this point, but what you don't like about Nigeria today was created by your leaders from the SE because they created One Nigeria.

True!! That decree 34 was the Unification Decree - Aguiyi Ironsi's biggest mistake!

Nigeria Could Teach the West a Few Things
128JAN 3, 2017 10:00 AM EST By Tyler Cowen

.... In Nigeria, nationalism is largely a progressive force, bringing the country together and allowing nation-building and infrastructure development. However imperfect or backward these processes might be -- Nigeria has at least 270 distinct ethnic groups and 370 languages -- in Nigeria one is rooting for nationalism to succeed. And it’s in Lagos, the country’s largest and most important window to the outside world, where the understanding of the importance of a common and stable national identity has made such progress.

Many Westerners used to consider much of Africa backward in this regard, but we Westerners are learning again that national cohesion isn’t always so easy. Perhaps the political spectrum in many Western countries can realign itself in a direction analogous to some features of Nigeria, to ally liberalism and nationalism once again. http://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-01-03/nigeria-could-teach-the-west-a-few-things

Make una come hear, o! : Oyinbo man don confirm one thing for una say "Nigeria has at least 270 distinct ethnic groups and 370 languages...". All those IPOB-ians wey dey scream 'Afonja up and down, anytime one person make post wey no support their ideology, make una take time, o! And all those Yoruba people wey dey shout 'Igbo', anytime person waka pass, make una know say different tribes full ground for Lagos, o! Ehen, I don talk my own!

@85

Baba still dey fire long range shots?

More power to your loins sire!

His Highness should conduct a DNA test on that baby. Just saying...

Govt has tried to do its bit by promulgating laws against gas flaring, and prescribing penalties to curb the act. but govt and the IOCs need to invest in gas processing facilities, in order to be able to process the gas and earn revenue from it. The incessant kidnapping and unrest by militants in the Niger-Delta has made new investments in this area quite difficult. The hostile nature of the local communities is also not helping.

If indeed, it is correct that the country losses so much in revenue as a result of gas flaring, the question that comes to mind is why gas flaring has not been eradicated? Some argue it is as a result of lack of political will on the part of the government. Others believe it is as a result of the unavailability of the infrastructure required to control gas flaring.

There are some who may also suggest there is no available market for domestic gas products and the low price of gas is discouraging.

Whatever the case may be, the focal point is that an end to gas flaring is achievable as evidenced in countries like Netherlands and Norway which have gas-flaring policies that are worthy of emulation.

In Norway for example, the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate which is a department within the petroleum ministry, is dedicated to supervising petroleum activities, gas flaring and air emissions. Furthermore, every company applying for a gas flaring permit in Norway is required to identify the measures it has put in place to ensure that the effect of gas flaring on environmental pollution is minimal.

Investment Prospects

Energy experts project that the economic strength in gas will exceed that of oil by 2015. Therefore, the Federal Government in a bid to boost the gas sector has set up the Gas Master Plan.

The Gas Master Plan is a strategic framework towards achieving a wholly competitive market driven domestic gas sector and for the implementation of gas grid infrastructures amongst others.

Based on the recent level of commitment expressed by the Federal Government in the sale of power generation and distribution companies to private investors, the implementation of the Gas Master- Plan therefore, becomes critical to the Federal Government's short and medium term strategies for power generation. If this same attitude is shown in respect of the Gas Master Plan, the ripple effect will create enormous potential opportunities for investors in the gas sector.

The quantity of natural gas lost to gas flaring could have been utilised as a potent source of energy in light of the increasing demand for electricity and pressing need for more power generation capacity in Nigeria. To this end, gas fired power plant is a veritable alternative. Investment opportunities also present themselves with respect to transportation of gas from the well or construction of gas pipelines for delivery of gas to power plants.http://www.mondaq.com/Nigeria/x/331578/Oil+Gas+Electricity/Gas+Flaring+In+Nigeria+Challenges+Investment+Opportunities

That was too poor of an attempt!
Try again later

It is ok. Everyone knows your intelligence is sadly limited.

Ekinematics:
What is this one saying? Gas flaring that has been in existence since crude oil went commercial in Nigeria and you are here listing these lame reasons as the cause of continuous gas flaring in the Niger Delta.

Keep it civil, pls. Gas is flared during crude production, in areas where there are no gas processing facilities close to such oil fields, to gather the gas & process it. Gas is also flared as a temporary measure to get rid of waste gaseous products, in a refinery. Educate yourself, bro'.

Nigeria flares 17.2 billion m3 of natural gas per year in conjunction with the exploration of crude oil in the Niger Delta. This high level of gas flaring is equal to approximately one quarter of the current power consumption of the African continent.

Gas flaring is the burning of natural gas that is associated with crude oil when it is pumped up from the ground. In petroleum-producing areas where insufficient investment was made in infrastructure to utilize natural gas, flaring is employed to dispose of this associated gas.

Also chemical factories, oil refineries, oil wells, rigs and landfills, gaseous waste products and sometimes even non-waste gases produced are routed to an elevated vertical chimney called a gas flare and burnt off at its tip, This is called gas flaring. Waste gases are subjected to such a process either because the gases are waste or it is difficult to store and transport them. Non-waste gases are burnt off to protect the processing equipment when unexpected high pressure develops within them. Gas flaring in oil rigs and wells contribute significantly to greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.

- Negative Effects of Gas Flaring: The Nigerian Experience http://pubs.sciepub.com/jephh/1/1/2/

If host communities are hostile to the investors and companies who wish to set up gas gathering/processing facilities, in order to utilise the gas instead of flaring it, then what happens? The gas continues to be flared.

Hahahahaha
You're still crying about our decision to guarantee Igala independence from any external influence
Lemme make very very clear to you Mr man

We the Great Igbo Nation would always guarantee the independence of the Igala,just like the US does that of Taiwan from China. We'd not support anything short of independence for them, moreover I know the Ata himself won't be interested in any Odua stuff
Keep crying bro!

Haba, but you are the one wailing over the Igala people, nah. Your tears have formed a pool round your feet and everyone is beginning to laugh at your clueless remarks. Your new refrain is that : "We the Great Igbo Nation would always guarantee the independence of the Igala..." when you have not even been able to guarantee the independence of your proposed republic called Biafra. Why do you enjoy exposing your people to ridicule like this??

Themandator:
Now you have agreed that the take over was for two years and it elapsed even before the end of the last regime.... Uba went to court and got a judgment against AMCON largely because the take over was needless... The government was owing him billions in subsidy till date and at the same time expecting him to pay the banks.

His company has since been returned to him and he is still in business using the same banks who are after his accounts... Why are they after the accounts... Because if the government make good their side of the agreement he will have no business owing the banks.

OK. His subsidy claims won't buy Abuja but it can wrote off some state government entire budget for this year

Oga, you are free to believe what you like as obviously Ifeanyi Uba has either paid you to defend him, or you believe his propaganda over the reality. As at today, Ifeanyi Uba is still owing the banks. Advise him to clear his debts and stop forming big boy. The banks he owes are not going to fight him. They need to maintain a relationship with him in order to get their money back. That is the way it works.

If you are still waiting for subsidy money which is highly uncertain to be paid, and which no one can accurately tell when it would arrive, I wish you good luck. By the time it is paid, interest rates would have piled up to eat up most of the profit that should accrue to his company.

Themandator:
You get yours from papers but I am telling what is very new like last month of celebration....banks went on recovery of loans and sealed the above depots until they amen to terms to restructure their loan facility...did you know this or read it anywhere.

I tell you this , if his subsided money is paid to him today with accrued interest he will buy up the better part of Abuja in it entirety ...that guy was responsible for bringing in over sixty percent of the fuel need of the country ....and you think he is not making serious money ....Dozzy asked is customer to pay additional 2 naira for already paid products ..do you know what that comes up to

Oga, I know quite a bit about the industry, so I do not get fazed by these stories. No one is disputing that other depots were sealed up, but the aim of AMCON's take over of Capital Oil two years ago was to manage it, and recoup the money that was being owed to the banks. The other depots were insolvent and their MDs were on the run. At that time, Capital Oil was not insolvent. Ifeanyi Ubah was just making money and diverting it elsewhere, instead of paying the banks. Spot the difference.

As for buying up Abuja with his money, please stop talking like an over-excited kid. It simply cannot happen. Do you know the net book value of all the assets & real estate in Abuja?

Themandator:
Did you read anything about banks sealing up his premises like was the case with Hyde , Vine and Zone 4 depots for inability to service their loans?

If his subsidy fund is paid to him today he will buy up Abuja with the money

Buy up Abuja with his money? Surely, you exaggerate sir.

There was no need to seal up the depot, as the The Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) took over the management of Capital Oil and Gas Industries in a decision to manage the indigenous downstream player for two years. The takeover became necessary after AMCON acquired Capital Oil and Gas’ outstanding facilities from various banks. http://thecitizenng.com/amcon-takes-over-capital-oil-ifeanyi-uba-leaves-role-as-md/

Themandator:
Read this please http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/10/court-orders-amcon-pay-capital-oil-n26-5bn/

Hi sir, AMCON has filed an appeal against this case, now. Let us wait for the outcome.

Themandator:
Bro I don't need anybody to tell me as I am writing this sitting in Dozzy Oil and Gas Depot Calabar ....it is my line of business and you saying the guy is joy making serious money is laughable. Find the recent judgement of a court on his court and read it up.

The take over of his company for two years was needless and they ended up messing the place up and the court has granted reliefs running into billions of naira for that.

Oga, whatever money is being made from his depot and petroleum products is channelled straight to AMCON. Oga, it seems you did not read the court judgement well.

Themandator:
Uba is being owed by AMCON and the government ....your news is behind the times. ..the man has said it times without number that he did a study before settling for the downstream sector....and the way he is about town even after TAN activities that I thought would throw him behind bars for being a channel for transporting government funds into election issues shows he is making serious money for himself

Point of correction. Uba is owing a lot of banks and is indebted to them. That is why AMCON took over his assets. Don't let Uba's propaganda fool you. There are many people who do studies before going into a particular line of business, only for the reality on ground to change and mess up all their studies. Uba is not making any serious money. Talk to insiders within the industry who know him well.

cheruv:
I got that map from Facebook... A Yoruba posted a group so all I did was just download it.

Whatever else you say or try to say,it'd not change my original premise which is that egbuchagodu Igbo nile,Igbo ka foro n'Igala.
Cry from now till tomorrow the position of the Great Igbo Nation won't change....the least you can do keep pokenosing into our affairs like you've always done

Oya, post the link to support your claims so we can verify it. Or you simply expected us to take your word for it, when we know it is most likely to be untrue?

How come all the other Yoruba people on NL have not been re-posting it? Obviously, they know it is fake.

Stop trying to dictate to the Igalas who they should align with, or what direction their collective destiny should take. You are the one poking your long nose into the affairs of the Igala, when they have not asked you to help them chart their way. Your Great Igbo nation is yet to figure out how to get Biafra. So save your tears for them.
