onenaira3:
Is this nigga for real? I provide a direct statement with his full name which is Yoruba. A direct statement where the OP stated his language is Yoruba and another statement where he also called sw as his people. Therefore, who should be named? No, he's not Yoruba, he's in fact from mars. Mtschewwww

And yes I'm not ashamed of my hatred for una. All you people display on this forum and other media outlet is constant bigotry and una constant display of bigotry fuels my hatred of una and I'm not sorry about that.

Anyway, I'm done with this thread. Bye

menabadoo:
[[s][/s]I'm a south southerner, Yoruba's cannot decide for us. South south has lot of ethnic groups and they have different views. Stop poke nosing

onenaira3:
The person that opened the thread is YOLOBA therefore why attack SS, which I am BTW, for. I brought that up just so the obvious SS vs SE argument the yoloba coward wanted to start ceases and the real region to insult comes into focus.
Tell your people to GROW A BALL and stop using other region regions to shield your cowardly tribe.
Most REAL SS indigenous on this forum, ndvpf, depreye, melzabull, myself, barcanista, kotv, etc have expressed the same thing repeatedly and getting fed up with it. Say what you want to say as your REAL REGION and stop una desperate and constant attache by force. It is starting to become repulsive.

menabadoo:
did you read the op's rubbish at all?

cheruv:
Hmmmm
Ozodimgba na aku aka n'obi

onenaira3:
I don't think I've ever seen a tribe as pathetic as yoloba. I swear you people are in another level of PATHETIC. Only God knows what poosesses another person to log on and pretend to be wtf they are not. Ashamed of your region and coming online to create fights between two other regions. No body is as shameless as you children of devils.

OP word of advice, next time you try to shamefully attache by force, make sure your full name is not online as well as make sure you didn't bust yourself by informing all your language is Yoruba, didn't refer sw as "my people", etc.

#spits on the floor. PATHETIC, SHAMEFUL, WORTHLESS, tribe yoloba are.

Fastfingers:
It is the people In Your generation that will be called wicked all their lives! Mumu!!

vanunu:
u ARE THE ONE THAT IS VERY STEWPID, THEY DON'T WANT TO BE PART OF NIGERIA AND U PEOPLE ARE FORCING THEM TO BE IN UR NIGERIA.

focus7:
Reading from the social media and the daily newspapers this days I feel so much disgust for the igbos seeing how the have turn pathetic with whining over every national issue. Of all the tribes and regions we have I have not found one that is disgruntled and plays the victim like the igbos, it is irritating.

AnambraDota:
Which other part of the country

AnambraDota:
But your acting as if your craddle-robber leaders are better off, in all indices of human developement we are better off than you people so I wonder what your killing yourself over us

BuddahMonk:
It doesnt matta if he spoke the truth or not but in reality lets know who is better off

check Igbo household, check yoruba and hausa households.

Check igbo cities, check yoruba amd hausa cities.

Check igbo youths, check yoruba and hausa youths.

North is yet to eradicate polio, VVF etc while strange sicknesses are invading SW while they send their kids to East to learn trade and crafts.

All the beggars in Nigeria are 70% hausas and 20% yorubass despite your acclaimed leadership

Hehehe.... wey my popcorn? I wan perch for this corner. I know say when the internet war starts between these two tribes, I will not get a front row seat.

But like ..... seriously??! What kind of hilarious topic is this?

Most of the Yoruba people I know can't be bothered about what the tribe next door, is doing. They have too many things going on within their own areas, to start thinking of migrating elsewhere to set up home.

Is there anything that is available in the South East, that they cannot get in any of the South Western states? So why would they want to move? But for the Igbo, the reverse is the case. They dislike the Yoruba because in their mind, the war has not ended. But they flock in droves to the South-west, the home of the people they despise. I don't get it.

In my trips around the country however, I have noticed large communities of Yoruba folks in Port-harcourt, Abuja and in different Northern cities. I guess the 'natives are friendly,' in those places.

The South-East community on Nairaland have shown time and again, that they feel nothing but contempt for the Yoruba. So they open long threads, devoted to Yoruba bashing. Once in a while, some of the Yoruba folks retaliate. But most times, my Yoruba friends are like: "Who cares?! ??" This gets the Igbo worked up, to no end.

Anyway, you cannot dictate to a man, where he should live. And residence in a place does not guarantee that a person would suddenly develop affinity or affection for his neighbours.

People can live in a place for donkey years, and still feel nothing but contempt for their neighbours, just like the Igbos do.

zendy:
[b] I don't expect Nigeria to suspend any cause they may have but I do expect a standing and binding agreement on the disengagement of the Igbos as Biafra. We still live in a civilised world. As for insults and burning of the Nigerian flag. This is the outward expression of the rejection of Nigeria by the Igbos and I might also add that it is their constitutional right of free speech and expression. Neither verbal insults or flag burning is a crime and if people don't like it, they should join the agitation for Biafra. The Jews of Israel had international support before they could go and reclaim their sovereignty. We Igbos are currently building that awareness and support. We are definitely considering how the Jews reclaimed their homeland. Igbos are unpopular and disliked in Nigeria? Tell me something new. Igbos have the benefit of hindsight and the history of how they have been massacred in 1945, 1952,1966 etc to know the sentiments of others towards us. Not that it matters because we are confident that this "British scam" created by the British con artist Lugard, which some of you refer to as "Nigeria" is about to come to an inglorious end [/b]

The Oil Sector as a Scapegoat By Sheyi Money on July 27, 2015 | The Guardian Newspapers |

BETWEEN the summer and autumn of 1940 when Britain stood in grave danger of being overwhelmed by the all-conquering German air machine, the small Royal Air Force (RAF) of Britain braved the odds to defend the Island in World War II’s first major campaign fought entirely by air forces. Known as the Battle of Britain, it was also the largest and most sustained aerial bombing activity to that date.

Germany’s air power, according to military experts, dwarfed the British such that, it was thought that in a matter of days German victory in the skies would make it easy for her land troops to make a way into English territory. But the so-called Lilliput of an RAF staved off the deadly Luftwaffe attacks from Berlin to save Britain and indeed Europe from complete control of Adolf Hitler.

As he looked back at the invaluable contribution of the puny RAF, British Prime Minister at the time, Winston Churchill declared: “Never, in the field of human conflict, was so much owed by so many to so few.” This famous remark hasn’t been disputed; for truly the survival, together with their subsequent victory of millions of Britons and Europeans was made possible by RAF men and women.

Now in Nigeria, as we look at the fate of the oil industry, we can say without sounding immodest that never in the history of our country has so much been owed to a single sector by so many other sectors crowding around it for social, political and economic existence. . True, cocoa in the west, groundnut in the north and coal in the Southeast may have performed their own wonders in their era. These resources in the 50s and 60s did give us the high-rise Cocoa House, schools, hospitals, industries, groundnut pyramids and estates.

But it was the era of petrodollars and petronaira in the 70s, 80s and 90s that saw the erection of super highways and mega skyscrapers in our cities. The oil industry has been the single largest donor to service our humongous national, state, and local government budgets running into several billions of dollars. Although its manpower has what appears to be an insignificant percentage of the work force of the nation, it is nevertheless known to be responsible for some 70% of the income and wealth of Nigeria.

So, when the oil sector sneezes, the nation catches cold.

But alas, in the face of current global oil price crash, the authorities have failed to sympathise with the industry and its players and accord them the recognition they deserve. They have refused to learn from the attitude of the great Sir Winston Churchill.

Instead, we have visited the oil workers with such ingratitude and gross indignities as a witch hunt, unjustifiable layoffs, malicious accusations, absurd charges of corruption and the discrediting of local oil merchants who have contributed greatly to bringing down unemployment with their job-creating measures. There is also a vicious attack on major stakeholders in the downstream sector, especially the use of the media to bring down indigenous oil companies under the guise of probes.

Why must the oil industry, so “little” a sector owed so much by so many, be the only casualty when a concatenation of global events and locally mismanaged politics come on board to rock the economy. Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Angola, the Gulf nations among others are experiencing hiccups following the slump in oil prices. Yet we do not hear of disruptive job losses or ill-advised government charges of sleaze against the industry players.

Waging war on the industry and on its patriotic and enterprising denizens via mass sack and biased investigation of their activities are, to be sure, not the proactive answer to the current challenges in the sector.

Consider this: if you resort to outright castigation of the indigenous operators in the oil industry as the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is being stampeded to do, it would backfire with its outcome of ballooning the labour market with a spiral effect of worsening the poverty levels, a condition the governing party vowed to put in order during the campaign for votes.

Next, we inject notions of instability in the polity when we don’t attach creative long-term solutions to our economic problems. Now this sends wrong signals to the international investors we intend to woo for the reform in the industry.

The strategic solution to arresting our vulnerability in global oil politics is to play out of the box, move imaginatively to find a way of diversifying our sources of revenue, industrialise agriculture, and pump enormous capital and human resources into it as well as build more refineries as we rehabilitate the existing ones to a functional mode. Thankfully, the much-maligned Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) has unveiled a plan for the establishment of modular refineries.

These are mini refineries that, by the reckoning of DPR, would allow private investors including big names like Shell, Chevron, Total and Texaco as well as indigenous companies like Oando, Aiteo, MRS and others to contribute in restoring life to our downstream sector. They are said to be cheap to build, with such far less endowed countries as Chad, Niger Republic and Congo operating them to cushion them and their citizens against the vicissitudes of the world market.

Let Nigeria align with the realities and dynamics of the petroleum industry, by giving it and stakeholders the honour they deserve as the hen laying the golden eggs. You don’t kill or destroy the hen by initiating policies that suggest that you don’t recognize the role they played in the past, a role they’d still play better if well handled for more productive work in the years ahead.

AnambraDota:
I have like 10 more links to prove Yorubas don't reply Hausas in Yorubaland like

The 1999 massacre in Ore where a Baale was killed, the killing at Alaba-rogo, the attacks in Ekiti State, the attacks in Ilorin and Ago-Iwoye.

Let Yorubass dispute this let me post the links now from my archives.

sevule:
I did read you post from the beginning and I can summarize your arguments in 2 sentences:

1. Why did the MD decide to retire 1000 people from NNPC early?
2. Was due process followed?

And the answers to your argument still remains the same

1. It is the MD's right to terminate appointments if need be. The MD is obviously trying to restructure NNPC and is cutting off deadweight.
2. Due process was definitely followed. You cannot terminate the jobs of a 1000 people without following due process. It is just not possible in the civil service/NNPC

Does this answer your questions/concerns?
