Thanks alot..

I so much love this question..

For instance, as a bonafide Igbo, I don't believe in oil. I'm sure most of my kinsmen doesn't believe in oil. The more our youths(nigerians) think less of oil and emphasizes more creativity and Technology, the better for us...

With the global Oil price going down by the day, the Nigerian nation is set to diversify its economy. This will mean that states may have to look inwards to provide their needs. We have seen a thread on nairaland where the discuss is how the SS will cope when oil is no longer attractive. The purpose of this thread is to know how the SE states of Nigeria will cope when the monthly alocation from the centre is no longer robust as before. We all know how they complain of bad roads, erosion, marginalisation, 2nd niger bridge, airport, seaport etc. How will they be able to achieve all these if they couldn't achieve it during the oil boom and when they held juicy government positions during the excess crude oil period?

Next thread will be on SW

God forbid. In Ikwerre land and culture, anything that has to do with Biafra is completely not accepted. because the name Biafra is forbidden and a Taboo. [s]That's why we refer to those Igbo's as "Ndi Isuoma"[/s]

Someone somewhere?

I bet they're on this thread right now going "na one thing go kill man," "get rich or die trying" and other such silly mantras.

WaffenSS:
Imagine if we grant them Biafra....

Its entire GDP would be based on drugs.

Colombia would envy Biafra, Land of the Rising Cocaine.

The divide and rule mentality of some Igbo in South South affair is increasing becoming annoying. Whenever a south south son/daughter speak on south south issue regarding our stand on Biafra, they are quick to say " You cannot speak for south south".

Kokori an Urhobo man from delta state said south south is not part of Biafra, the next thing you hear is:
"" kokori cannot speak for south south".

Barcanista an Okrika man from river state said south south is not part of Biafra, the next thing you hear is:
"" Barcanista cannot speak for south south".

Akpabio from Akaw ibom state said south south is not part of Biafra, the next thing you hear is:
""Akpabio cannot speak for south south".

Sam ogbemudia from Igbanke (Anioma) in Edo state said south south is not part of Biafra, the next thing you hear is:

"Ogbemudia cannot speak for south south".

Spanishkid from Edo state said south south is not part of Biafra, the next thing you hear is:
"Spanish kid cannot speak for south south".

Isaac Adaka boro from Bayelsa said Ijaw is not part of Biafra the next thing you hear is:
"Isaac adaka boro cannot speak for south south".

Numerous groups and people from south south have said we are not part of Biafra, yet the Igbo wont hear word. Why do u want us by all means? is it by force? below is a group of south south making their point:

Please Igbo, leave us alone. Stop telling us our differences. Stop telling us how our languages and cultutre are different. it is not your business.
stop dividing us. stop exaggerating our difference. Among you Igbos there are differences too. No matter how different you think we are, on Biafra issue we are united. And we say in one voice we are not part of Biafra. Your divide and rule mentality will fail. if our sons and daughters cant speak for us, who is then qualified to speak for us? You?

Even in the so called 5 south east states who claim to be Igbo nation today, never existed as one nation. it was the white man and creation of Nigeria that make the 5 south east states Igbo nation today. Before then every village was an independent country with its own army etc.
The so called old eastern region was created by white man and Nigeria.
It is total hippocracy to shout to high heavens how white man lump us with the north when it is the same white man that lump you together as a single tribe.

Igbo accuse the North of divide and rule, when actually Igbo are the worst set of people when it come to divide and rule. have you heard Yoruba shouting to high heaven high Itsekiri is Yoruba despite the strong similarity in language ? why cant Igbo leave anioma people alone. Anioma is to Igbo just as Itsekiri is to Yoruba.

As one guy rightly said that "ndi enugu amahi chineke". The number of peepz in the "Nairaland freethinkers" WhatsApp group created last time are mostly from Enugu state.

Why

sonOfLucifer:
Na, it wasn't. The ability to communicate over large and distant geographies wouldn't be possible today without the internet. As the internet grows and connects more people, the reach of social media naturally expands.

People communicated via internet before social media. Usenet groups, irc etc.. Social media is just a phase in the evolution of IT.

Not social media Per se. The Internet rather. Studies have shown the rise of Internet in underdeveloped/developed nations is equivalent to the rise of Atheism or just irreligious people. The Internet cures Ignorance. That's why Islamic government or some strict government always attack the internet first. Many Nations with Christians has a majority embraced democracy so censoring the internet will go against the tenets of democracy.... They lose lots of followers in the process while Islam is on the rise because they manage to keep their followers ignorant(Even in democracy). To keep your religion you have to keep your followers ignorant as well.

I know some of us will protest that the year isn't actually over. Yes. That's correct. We still have close to 3 weeks to the end of 2015. But the truth is, a lot of us are already mentally in 2016; we simply can't wait to put our 2015 lessons into action into 2016. Time waits for nobody.

In the course of the year, I've made a lot of mistakes and have equally learned many invaluable lessons. I'm very happy to share with us some of those incredible lessons. Let me bare the bitter lessons alone. LOL!

Finance. I'll start here because money is one of the most important things we can have. If you're still worried about money like I do, then you're still not financially independent. This year it became very obvious to money that your true state of wealth isn't dependent on HOW MUCH you earn, but how much keep and invest to create passive income for you. It doesn't matter how much you earn, as long as you keep living above your income, you'll be broke. This lesson appears very normal but it's unfortunate MOST people still fall a prey to this financial error. Another lesson is that, as long as you have only ONE source of income, you'll never be truly wealthy. This year was the year of greater financial responsibility for ME. I became more aware aware of the rules of money. If you don't seek other sources of income alongside your current one, when the tides are out, you'll finally see that you were simply swimming unclad beneath the water. If you don't take charge of your finance, you'll remain broke. The festive period is here. Most of us will be broke by second week of January, 2016, irrespective of how much we have now or at the end of this month. I took a greater responsibility for my money and I'm better off. Any area of your life will suffer if YOU'RE NOT in charge.

Friends. I'm finally aware that I don't need too many friends. Most of those who mistake for our friends aren't really friends. It will take some an incident to find out their true colours. We must be careful to separate between our friends and our colleagues. Sometimes all that connect you with some persons is that you carry the same company's ID card. Pick your friends carefully.

Success. You will never amount to anything if you keep blaming the economy, the government or others for your present situation. This year I became more responsible for my life. It matters very little what others do or say, I'm finally the one responsible for my success or failure. I understood this year that for anyone to succeed, they must be willing to change. I know change is painful but it's the ONLY way we can get to where we want to get to. To succeed, you must of necessity surround yourself with people who have a dogged desire an determination to succeed. You must after nice with people of unparalleled and white hot desire for success. If you mingle with the mediocre, you'll be a mediocre. If you mingle with the visionary, you'll become visionary. God has created mankind. Whatever mankind chooses to do depends on him.

Risk. I was finally able to take some risks this year. It was not easy placing my feet on some unfamiliar territory. It's either you take risks OR you're at risk. I finally was able to try another source of income beside my steady income from my job. It wasn't easy. Kudos to all business men and women. Kudos to all the risk takers in house. This year it became clearer that if you want to become great, you must take risks. If you keep seeking security,opportunities will pass you by. All billionaires are risk takers. I'll take more in 2016. Learn to take bigger risks.

Entrepreneurship. I realised a lot of us can become entrepreneurs if we're willing to learn the skills and align whatever we want to do with our core passion. If you hate the Rat Race like I do, you'll surely find a way out- including becoming an entrepreneur. It's takes only passion, skills and an open mind to become one.

God doesn't build nations. He didn't build Dubai. He didn't build the US we all crave to visit. He didn't build the UK. He didn't build Japan. And He won't build our nation OR any other nations. He doesn't do for man what man can do for himself. Man is imbued with ALL it takes to build himself. As far as we keep expecting God to build our lives or systems or nations, we will wait forever. Man was designed or create and find solutions to his own challenges.

Change. You cannot change any situation that you tolerate. As far as you keep excusing your errors and defects, there won't be any progress in your life. For you to experience any development, you'll first change your habits and attitude. I was able to drop some inimical habits and I'm happier today. You are in charge of your life. You have all it takes to progress and improve all areas of your life. If you're unwilling to change, then you'll be stuck in the same position for life.

No, Cross River doesn't produce oil. Neither are they in the Niger Delta as you won't find one Delta of River Niger anywhere in Cross River. You also won't find any Delta in Imo or Abia

xender:
how come from abia

alberson:
she's a rivers girl not igbo point of corrections, note rivers is not igbol

airsaylongcon:
I don't know when Abia State became part of the Niger Delta. That oil is produced in Abia doesn't make it a Niger Delta state. Its akin to calling Russia or Canada or even the UK an OPEC country because they produce oil.
