DUDE you are 110% YOLOBA. Every f2king body on this website can see it. You make it extremely, extremely, EXTREMELY OBVIOUS as hell you dimwitted buff00n. In fact you have an alternative ID which states he is yoloba. That other ID is called latpage. You can deny it, i really don't give one rat ass ig you do. After all that's what you are good at. Funny enough you are so dimwitted and complete utter buffoon you think no one can not see it is one person that holds both IDs considering in both IDs writes EXACTLY alike, highlight and quote quotations EXACTLY alike. On one ID you showcase your true real color while on this one you mask and pretend to be not yoloba despite MAKING IT BEYOND OBVIOUS YOU ARE. Who thr f2k you think is afraid to engage you?are you braindead or mentally challenged or something? Similar to your entire clan, Nigga you are nothing but a PATHETIC, DISGRACEFUL SAVAGE CLOWN...a complete and utter joke. And like EVERYONE on this website knows me as, I don't associate or talk to a f2king coward.. I've said it multiple times hence the reason I keep telling your miserable, poverty ridden yoloba coward @ss, until you GROW SOME BALLS and stop acting like your typical YOLOBA COWARD, don't quote me or mention me again. I don't speak to cowards!!!!!!!!

Disgraceful, pathetic pig...spits on the floor. Tufiakwa for you

Or that Laudate is Yoruba, biko?

Don't bring tax into this issue! Many of our tax officials are soulless, clueless, greedy neanderthals whose sole aim is to cripple a business, especially if such a business is an SME.

Their criteria for tax assessment is as changeable as the weather. And a lot of them are so corrupt, that it is mind boggling!

Thanks to the antics of tax officials in Lagos, a lot of businesses have closed down and moved to Ogun State, next door.

Maybe Fowler was appointed to head FIRS in order to replicate the Alpha beta nonsense they did in Lagos.

First of all read each the following documents: Oil Pipelines Act 1956 (amended in 1965); Mineral Oils (Safety) Regulations (1963); Oil in Navigable Waters acts (1968)

ThisDay: During the First Republic, much of the resources derived from agriculture were shared between the Federal Government and the regions from where such were derived, on 50 per cent per cent basis.

Then the major sources of revenue were groundnuts, cocoa cotton, palm produce and timber. At that time, the groundnuts and cocoa farmers sold their produce to their regional governments, and the regional governments in turn exported the produce. Thus, the regional governments received 50 per cent derivation from the sale of the cash crops. The cocoa farmers in the Western region were able to send their children to schools from the money made from the sale of their produce.

But during the Nigerian civil war, the military government headed by General Yakubu Gowon (rtd) abolished the 50 per cent derivation formula and put all resources under the control of the Federal Government in order to prosecute the war. The civil war had ended long ago, but it was not reversed to the old order...... http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/the-trouble-with-crude-oil/114838/

Gowon, Awolowo as well as service chiefs and other cabinet members constituted the Federal Military Government of Nigeria. They were not representing regions. Revenue from oil was shared 50/50 between the federal govt and regional govt.

So your argument about "why then were Awo and Gowon seeking direct control of Eastern oil wealth, rather than wait for the East to pay them loyalties?" does not hold water. Also, revenue sharing from oil under the the regional arrangements was NOT destroyed by Nzeogwu coup. 1969 Petroleum Decree was what changed the revenue sharing formula.

Read the article again very slowly. Maybe it would then make sense to you, and help you to stop arguing blindly. Am done.

pazienza:
Because the regional arrangements were destroyed by Nzeogwu coup, and so the central government controlled everything from then upward.

That's my understanding.

Your understanding is wrong. Goodnight.

pazienza:
What source are you looking for? Nigeria ran a regional system of government, each region developed her resources and pay loyalty to the FG. That's the whole essence of regionalism.

That was how the East ran her Coal industry. And the North her tin ore.

Is Crude oil no longer a natural resource?

If Awo and Gowon are seeking for a quasi confederation where the Eastern region oil wealth be turned to free for all, rather than the normal 50-50 derivation formula between the region and the centre, what does it say about they stupid Decree 8?

And so what if tin, coal and iron ore were run in a different way?

Did you even read the beginning of the article I quoted??!

It said: "Lieutenant Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu, Biafran leader, had ordered all oil companies to start paying all royalties to Enugu because they were operating in a new country, or risk heavy penalties."

Why would Ojukwu have had the need to order the oil companies to START paying royalties to him, if the eastern government had been the standard recipient, in the past??!

Ojukwu did not accept the Decree 8 which would have given him a confederation, so how would it have been implemented?? Why do you keep clutching at straws and arguing blindly??!

Duplicated post

pazienza:
Stop being wise by half. The FG invested no dime in oil exploration, Nigeria ran a regional system of government where each region harvested their natural resources and paid loyalty to the FG.

The oil companies having been granted operational licenses by the Eastern region government did the exploration, after exploitation, they take their operational cost and share the proceed with the Eastern region government.

That's what confederation is all about. The Eastern oil wealth, coal mines, Palm oil, belongs to the East, not the entire country, the East were only required to pay loyalty to the FG.

If this isn't what Awo and Gowon was anticipating, what does it say about their stupid Decree 8?

What is your source? If you are going to make claims in respect of oil exploration, please do so with a modicum of common sense. Like I said, I am not in the mood to repeat myself.

Updated: Prior to the 1969 Petroleum Decree, there was an existing revenue allocation system that divided revenue from oil taxes equally between federal and all state governments/regions. The 1969 decree changed the allocation formula in which the federal government controlled the dispensation of revenues to the states, by giving a larger proportion to the federal govt. So where did you get the idea that only the eastern government benefited from the oil revenue??!

xtrorse:
Sorry Mister, your chameleonic tendencies are too visible to the blind! Try some other tricks...

Charlatans on rampage disguising as angels of light!

Mechi ọnū!! Stop describing yourself, like you have just done in this post up here. No one is interested.

pazienza:
What is there to understand? The British insisting that Arewa-odua people are their favourites to control the oil wealth of the East?

You will leave your cocoa and tin ore in Arewa-Odua republic, to come and collect loyalties in Biafra?

Where on earth is such done?

The oil wells were vested in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and were jointly developed with funds contributed by the 3 regions and Shell International. Ojukwu decided to seize everything for himself. Did he offer to pay back what the other regions had invested in the exploration of oil, from inception till the date the war broke out? No. And you expect the FMG or Nigerian govt to close a blind eye to his antics and pat him on the back??!

You find it difficult to comprehend simple things, and I really don't have the inclination now, to repeat myself because you have a biased mindset that is unable to receive the truth.

pazienza:
Which decree 8 are you speaking of again, I thought we resolved the stupidity of the decree last time around?

https://www.nairaland.com/2507143/biafra-did-not-surrender-achuzia/6#36863692

Incase you have forgotten.

What 'stupidity' are you talking about? You and who resolved 'what?' Did I agree anything with you on that thread??

Instead of learning from the facts, references and records presented on that thread, you chose to play the ostrich by seeing only what you wanted to see.

You were the one claiming that 100% of what was agreed in Aburi should have been implemented, even when it was pointed out to you that the decree offered Ojukwu more than 80% of what was agreed, and he should have taken it first. Even if it was just to save his people from carnage of war. You refused to see this point. You are now coming here to say we agreed. Agreed what, biko nu?

Agreements can always be re-negotiated when circumstances change, or the original situation is superceded by events.

That was my point then, and it is still my point now.

pazienza:
"Lieutenant Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu, Biafran leader, had ordered all oil companies to start paying all royalties to Enugu because they were operating in a new country or risk heavy penalties.

Specifically, he demanded a minimum of £2million from Shell-BP. The Federal Government had imposed an economic blockade on Biafra. It entailed barring all merchant vessels and sea tankers from sailing to and from Koko, Warri, Sapele, Escravos, Bonny, Port Harcourt, Calabar ports, which Ojukwu had declared part and parcel of Biafra.

Biafra controlled the land on which the oil installations sat; the Nigerian government controlled the coastal entrance and exit to those lands.

Shell-BP was confused as to whose order should be obeyed. Sir David Hunt, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, told his American counterpart after the meeting with the Nigerian delegation: “Awolowo is very firmly in control of Ministry of Finance and he is giving Stanley Gray, Shell’s General Manager and other experts from London a very difficult time for the past three days.”

They persuaded Awolowo to accept a deal that would favour the Nigerian government and, at the same time, would predispose oil workers and the £150 million investment to danger in the hands of Biafran military forces".

Are you by anyway insinuating that Biafra should have allowed Arewa-Odua republic to continue collecting royalties on the crude oil oil resources located in Biafraland?

What exactly is the aim of that your post.

Read it again with an open mind. You will understand it eventually.

We can all help fast track the collapse it or face reality and make it survive.

If it was so profitable and easy, why did NITEL and MTEL fail?

Puh-leeze! NITEL and MTEL did not fail because of high diesel cost! Please get your facts right. It was a combination of overbearing govt influence, poor management style, gross inefficiency,corruption and inability to compete with the new GSM companies that killed NITEL and MTEL.

This yoloba monkey that's too ashamed of his tribe, constantly being a huge coward is there a day I can log on without your ignorant @ss mentioning my name. The f2k is with this your annoyance

Hehehe... continue guessing. You are too blind to see that am not Yoruba. Why are you killing yourself, trying to know my tribe? Is it my tribe that listed your name on this thread, or me?

Let me see...hmmn... you don't have the courage to respond directly to me, that is why you are looking for my tribe to plead on your behalf... hehehehe..

Wonders will never end!

onenaira3:
Dude for once stop being so cowardly and be proud of wtf you are. It quacks like a duck, walk like a duck and swims like a duck, it's a f2king duck no matter how much it quacks it's a cow. You are no doubt a yoloba. Everybody can tell, there's no one on here that believes you are not. It's obvious as hell. If you going to cowardly and pathetically deny your tribe, a word of advice: actually make it believable, not beyond obvious. A coward yoloba illiterate..a demon spawn that's wtf you are.

Finally, any Igbo married to a yoloba is NOT and will NEVER be a distinguished Igbo but rather a complete and utter disgrace to Igbo everywhere for having the audacity to mate with a devil and bringing to this world half devils. I'll repeat wtf I said earlier: THERE ARE NO DECENT NON YOLOBA married to a YOLOBA. Only those that are ugly, desperate or ashawo marry yoloba. You people are the demon's spawn. Why marry a devil's child unless you have no choice or your f2king slutty.

Are the men you mentioned wowo...hell yeah. Were they desperate? Most likely they were for them to marry a yoloba.

Chukwu biko!! Bikō, kpùṛ ụkalụ m̄. Ị nà-àlabu mmānya?

Only an alcoholic can post the kind of comments you posted up here. Are you so lacking in respect and proper manners that you would call distinguished, elderly Igbo sons "ugly, desperate and ashawo?"

I don't blame you. You do not know the meaning of the word 'decent.' And you have never been in the presence of great men. So virtues like 'greatness, respect, good reputation and a distinguished personality,' are concepts that hold no meaning for you. That is why you can never smell greatness, in this lifetime unless God decides to have mercy on you.

Your opening remarks were: "Dude for once stop being so cowardly and be proud of wtf you are. It quacks like a duck, walk like a duck and swims like a duck, it's a f2king duck no matter how much it quacks it's a cow. You are no doubt a yoloba.."

I had to laugh out loud at this one!! Why are you frothing at the mouth in anger?? Bros, you are the biggest coward here, now. You have an unhealthy, compulsive preoccupation and fixation with anything tagged 'Yoruba'. You do not even have the strength to think of anything else! Be careful, so that it does not cause neurosis in your mind.

Another thing is, you lack the mental capacity to distinguish between truth and delusion. That is why you believe 'if it walks like a duck, it is a duck.' Abeg, make I laugh again, biko!

Have you ever heard the term: empirical evidence? Oya, provide it to show that Laudate is Yoruba. Every correct answer gets 20 marks!! Hehehe....

Finally, you have displayed enough proof to show that the money spent on your education was wasted. No, don't remind me that you flunked school, and had to withdraw. It is just too obvious.

I have observed that you mischievously try as much as possible to hide your sentiments and bitterness towards anything that has to do with the Igbos and Biafra wearing a toga of objectivity.

It's time you stopped being unnecessarily bitter about Igbo affairs. Save your enemy for your people's progress. Cease displaying your double-faced mien, unsuccessfully defending the atrocious acts of your forebears against the Igbo Nation. Quit muttering gibberish and attempting to deny the genocide you lots committed against the Igbos. 

Ojukwu defended Igbos from ethnic cleansing and you and your folks come here to attempt to cover up your evils. If you're so frustrated with Igbo affairs simply go hang.
Ojukwu will forever remain a legend amongst Igbos regardless of what the same people who were responsible for what Ojukwu stood against thinks.

If you and your lots are sincere you should be talking about restructuring the system or have its inhabitants choose and chart their own destinies. Strange bedfellows are not meant to be together!

It doesn't matter how long it takes, Igbos shall achieve their goals. 

“Karma comes after everyone eventually. You can't get away with screwing people over your whole life, I don't care who you are. What goes around comes around. That's how it works. Sooner or later the universe will serve you the revenge that you deserve.” - Jessica Brody

Hehehehe .... bitterness, kwa?? Towards whom? Guy, stop being paranoid. Stop dancing to the drumbeats of confusion in your head, please.

It is not my fault if you cannot deal with the truth. Over 21,000 pages of classified, secret American diplomatic dispatches, have been declassified and released to the public and new untold facts have come to the public domain.

Kindly read the facts here:

Lieutenant Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu, Biafran leader, had ordered all oil companies to start paying all royalties to Enugu because they were operating in a new country or risk heavy penalties.

Specifically, he demanded a minimum of £2million from Shell-BP. The Federal Government had imposed an economic blockade on Biafra. It entailed barring all merchant vessels and sea tankers from sailing to and from Koko, Warri, Sapele, Escravos, Bonny, Port Harcourt, Calabar ports, which Ojukwu had declared part and parcel of Biafra.

Biafra controlled the land on which the oil installations sat; the Nigerian government controlled the coastal entrance and exit to those lands.

Shell-BP was confused as to whose order should be obeyed. Sir David Hunt, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, told his American counterpart after the meeting with the Nigerian delegation: “Awolowo is very firmly in control of Ministry of Finance and he is giving Stanley Gray, Shell’s General Manager and other experts from London a very difficult time for the past three days.”

They persuaded Awolowo to accept a deal that would favour the Nigerian government and, at the same time, would predispose oil workers and the £150 million investment to danger in the hands of Biafran military forces. http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2013/02/19/biafra-the-untold-story-of-nigerias-civil-war/

So what part of my post annoys you? Can you kindly provide facts and relevant verifiable data to support your position, instead of being emotional and hysterical? You claim "Ojukwu defended Igbos from ethnic cleansing." Has anyone disputed that fact?

All that is being said, is that the defence could have been done in a bloodless manner without any war, if he had accepted Decree 8 , which effectively turned Nigeria into a confederation and gave Ojukwu over 80% of he requested at Aburi.

Go back and study the actual events that transpired during the war. Ojukwu was outnumbered and outgunned. So how did he think he could successfully defend the Biafrans without appropriate arms? Yet he went ahead to launch a war!

Finally, no one is "frustrated with Igbo affairs", to use your own words. It is actually the other way round.

The Igbo are frustrated with Nigeria, and want a way out. No problem. Unfortunately, getting a new country is not done via the internet, or on radio. You need to explore the appropriate ways to make it happen. But if you choose to do so by way of conflict, kindly learn the lessons of the war, so you do not repeat the same mistakes.

I hope this resolves your dilemma.

zendy:
My father was a Captain in the Biafran Army. He still says it to this day that the biggest reason why Biafra lost the war was British support for Nigeria. Had Britain remained neutral, Biafra would have won. It was British Warships that blockaded Biafra not only preventing the importation of Arms, ammunition, food and essential supplies, but also stopped the export of oil that would have gone a long way to adequately finance the war effort. The air cargo flights into Uli airport were not only very expensive, they were also inadequate. I believe that had the international community stayed out of the war, Gowon would have just been fighting until the fruitlessness of fighting would have dawned oh him and he would given up

Please listen to other people's perspective on that civil war.

Ojukwu did not contribute a penny to the drilling of oil in the Eastern region by Shell.

In fact, despite the existence of signed, sealed contracts between the Nigerian govt and Shell, he wanted to corner all the money from the oil fields for himself. That was when Gowon quickly instituted the police action against the Eastern region, hoping Ojukwu would have a re-think. Instead he became recalcitrant.

Secondly, whose fault was it that Ojukwu did not strategise appropriately and lacked enough weapons to go to war? Was it the fault of the Nigerian govt that he declared war against? How many people go to war without counting the cost?? How could he NOT have anticipated that there would be a blockade??! In war, you strategise and prepare for every eventuality. Does he think the Nigerian govt would have left the sea port open for him to receive arms and ammunition to defeat them? Compare what happened in Biafra with the Falklands war. There was also a blockade.

Decree 8 was promulgated which gave Ojukwu more than 80% of what was agreed at Aburi but he turned it down! For goodness sake, if he had taken that option he would have prevented the carnage that occurred in Biafra, and lives that were lost would have been spared!!

Don't mind them. There is alternative to diesel generator... like the LPG gas-powered ones, which are much cheaper to refuel. They have refused to use those ones.

What baffles is, after spending all these money on diesel and petrol generators, government is unable to recover these money back in form of tax. Kudos to Buhari for appointing a man who has delivered aggressively in Lagos, hope he gets the job done and revamps Nigeria's ailing tax system.
