That render is supposed to be the International Airport Terminal or what? After 13 years of promise what do we have at this site?

HOW MANY YEARS WILL UMEH BE CHAIRMAN. Is it because there are no jobs in this country that politicians want to remain in their seats for life?

What a country

That movie already looks local. Cant they for once do a simple good film like "Call".

Ola Johnson: Chukwuemeka Ojukwu also had his eye in oil, in fact in a desperate manner. All through the period the crises of 1966 and 1967 lasted he never declared the defunct Eastern Region the Republic of Biafra. He only did when the present day River and Bayelsa states, on one hand, and Cross River State and Akwa Ibom states on the other hand were excised from the Eastern Region and made Rivers State and South-Eastern State respectively. These states were created on May 27, three days later on May 30 Ojukwu declared Biafra.

Who created those states and why? Was it Ijaw people. Of course not. They were not relevant to do so then and even now.
Have those states today done anything to rival Dubai? Of course not.

In fact those states have the most arrested men that instead of governing their state were looting tens of millions of dollars, forcing their youth to engage in kidnapping of Filipino boys.

[quote author=se.xkilza.phull]If a girlfriend or wife or friend breaks friendship with you because you are not good enough now (for 1 million reasons, whatever), not that he/she is perfect or doing any better; why would you accept to give any benefit to such friend after the breakup for ANY reason, alliance, whether you are doing better or not? This is one of the things that will happen if Nigerian were to break-up. If everyone gets it right and make a good life for their people, nice! Whatever chances ibos have, other people also have. However, there will be lots of issues and then it will be too late to want to make alliances and friendships, for what? I think you are a good person but a breakup will FORCE the new countries to have every non-National removed from their country, this is reality. There is no law that can stop that from happening! Some of your people will be on the receiving end of the agitations of a few but it is what it is. Ibos will need MANY things and I know you have a lot of things too, just like any other new country coming out of Nigeria. However, you will NOT have access to the sea, the coastal states have NO OBLIGATION to allow you any access by road, water or air! Any unauthorized plane or vessel could be fired upon, this will be the reality. This limits your options economically (imports and exports), war and defence as well as several socio-economic consequences. Iboland grew palm kernels and made palm oil in the days of regionalism. You can go back to farming but where is the land? If you used all your land to farm, where will people live? Yes, you can import but from where? Since you will be boxed in, the cost of taxation could be quite punitive such that a big percentage of your monies is shared with states with coastal access or ports. They might demand as much as 40 - 50% of the value of the imports, but what choices would you have then?

I am very sure there will be conflicts around your borders for minorities will be always on edge to check any small encroachment on their lands. Being friends or allies will not be enough because it becomes an issue of two countries in negotiation - you MUST bring something to the table and that thing must be worth the other countries while. What will it be? I don't speak for the SW but I will SAY there should be no Ibos within our borders and in the lands of all those who may choose to be part of our country. With not less than 40 M Yorubas in Nigeria alone, the most educated, the most schooled, some of the most developed areas, lots of land for farming, access to several hundreds of KMs of Atlantic Shoreline, an already sophisticated people for more than 10,000 years, war history dating back over a 1,000 years, lots of accomplished people, myself included, what will the Ibos offer to the SW? Only Oyo State is about all the size of the SE. We have oil in Lagos, Ogun and Ondo State, HUGE oilfields offshore FOR US, un-mined gold deposits in Ilesha, one of the largest deposits of Oil Sands in Ondo State, the biggest and most famous educational institutions in Nigeria which are internationally recognized and for which highly trained foreign professors will be pleased to leave the West to go and teach and conduct research in our universities. There are airports in Lagos (should be 2 soon), 1 in Ibadan, 1 in Akure, 1 in Osun State. We can pick up to 4 capitals besides Lagos and designated them as our heavy industrial, oil and gas, administrative and culture capitals while Lagos will continue to be our business capital a la New York or London. Naturally, we have pride in the work of our Great grandfathers and Fathers, we love our lands, we can be welcoming and share them with our guests who MUST respect us and the heritage bequeathed to us! We will have a military capital, the most advanced military research and defence fortifications in the modern world, continuing a legacy of over 1,000 years of solid military history. FYI, the Aare Ona Kakanfo (War General) position of the Yorubas has been created for over 700 years, just to let you know this stuff is real.

What would we need from the Ibos? I can't speak for the northerners but I am sure even if they needed 1,000,000 things, they will NEVER accept or take anything from you people and we all know that an average Northerner doesn't like the Eastern Ibos. They also have an interesting culture, very content with what they have, usually care less about material possessions and they have enough land to grow food and water - they will LIVE for sure! For the adventurous of them, I will wager that if they think they are suffering and want someone to blame, it will be the Ibos, who they will view as the root cause of the break-up. Yes, I know every man's life is his responsibility and you cannot blame your neighbour if you are poor but when emotions rage, reason is out! This is why Hitler blamed the Jews for the loss of WW 1 and he organized genocide against them in WW 2 - he was WRONG! However, the damage would already would have been done. Organize protests, cry, shout, write letters, that will not wake-up people who will be victims. In current Nigeria, the Northerners know that the balance of power and action is not their exclusive prerogative. If a crazy leader wants to start war against any part of the country for no just reason, say north vs east, the can be absolutely SURE the Yoruba SW will not be supporting such madness! However in a broken country, we don't have to be bothered so far as you don't come close our lands or into those of our compatriots or people who might have allied with us and with whom we have treaties.[/quote]That there will be this and that, and that Yoruba will do this and do that is all a bunch of Ccock AAAAAAAAND Bull. The British came and did not find nor discover any sophisticated culture in Ife. Instead they saw a bunch of local blacks running around hiding in caves and in the bush.

Since 1960 till date, you would have thought that the "industrialized" Western region, who's eastern border voted to rightfully exit and create the Midwest and align with AZIKIWE, would have been Dubai of Africa, since no modern civil war was fought there, nor Islamic copy copy fanatics bombing everywhere.

Yet, nothing outside the already federally established territory of Lagos that even Hausa people have contributed more to its development than anyone else.

The truth is the day Nigeria returns to its original borders that even the British knew, the East stands to be not only better, but the best in West Africa. Yorubas will be better off true, because they dont have to play deputy to Fulani any more or fear Fulani will slap their face.

But based on what they have already done for the last 50 years with more states, allocations, representatives in government, indigenous political control of their region, they frankly cannot boast of being that far better than even Cross River State.

dolphinife: reading all the comments here, may God have mercy on you people. You people are busy ranting and panting of dividing this country, your leaders are busy in abuja sharing and cutting the millions and billions.

FYI, from my research, you can never see a rich man to be discussing about Nigeria breaking....hell no. Its this poverty-minded poor individuals on Nairaland that are shouting and panting. I know the moment these imbeciles are called to abuja for contracts, they will never dream of Nigeria dividing again.

Am saying it and i will continue saying it, thousands of weddings and marriages are being carried out in Nigeria everyday. Nigerians are doing inter-tribal marriages and it would be very difficult for you to break this country. Our leaders have nationalistic mindset and they will never fall for this charade.

The moment that bastard called Lord Lugard joined us together, this country has gone into into inseperable marriage and no bastard dare seperate us.......you imbeciles footing and shooting nonsense from your mouths aparently cos you are poor or poverty-stricken should go to hell while your brothers continue to make money in Lagos and every other places in the world

Looks who's joined us here to be "ranting". Are you not interested in this thread that you must have read and re-read over and over?

The country is a disgrace and yes, we can say that. If you travel to Nigeria, 1st of all you will need a white boy to get you there (aka British Airways, KLM, Lufthasa), then be greeted by very black faced immi officers looking gor bribe, then touts selling fake belts on the "highways" that will have you in traffic for hours and so on and so forth.

If you are in Naija, you will be looking to send your wife to America to give birth, or for medical checkup, or will be in a quack bar watching Ronaldo score goals, or perhaps get shot by a police officer for no reason.

So, if you dont have anything to say to advance the state of our people, then COMOT FROM HERE

dridowu: I reserve my comment till 2015

Thank you jare. 2013 never finish and already these people who are bored because they are clueless about nation building are already talking about 2015 PRIMARY.

Too bad

That army day looks like a Youth parade. They cant even fight Boko Haram or even Cameroon. After the event, they will all go back to buy fuel to put in their gen if not, how they go manage watch Chelsea play?

[quote author=Dudu_Negro]Your ego is blocking your ability to see, understand and acknowledge what Abagworo is saying. You continue to believe Igbo is righteous and others are sinful.

There is a disconnect in the way Igbo sees itself and the way it sees Nigeria. You Igbos exist in a political bubble that does not settle neatly into the dynamics of a national exchange which other people take in their stride with mastery and little expectation.

Other people consider their ethnic destiny a separate and inviolable entity and struggle to shield it from the chaos and madness of Nigerian political contract; Igbo on the other hand instead of living its ethnic destiny in a shield has continued to make its struggle with Nigeria a do or die affair and thereby hard to extricate itself from the chaos and injustice of a brutal push for domination at the center.

Yoruba always read and assess the risk factor. Would a gain at the center end up with a damaging outcome at home? Would delaying an action for 4yrs allow time to build base and reap a much higher reward? What Yoruba call risk management, Igbo call cowardice. In the interest of being anti-Yoruba and anti-coward you end up with misses on a concise risk assessment of the Nigerian polity and we see the result and its impact on everything going on in Igboland today when compared with Yorubaland.

Igboland has not suffered maitatsine riots or religious riots or bokoharam insurgency or any of these social catastrophies and tragedies that beset the North every twelve months for the past 30yrs, and yet Igboland cannot boast of being better than Hausaland in terms of social and welfare developments for the ordinary people.

Nigeria is not your destiny, stop struggling with Nigeria and start living your freedom and destiny.[/quote]The risk management that Yoruba people have done has gotten them few contracts and positions in Nigeria. Lagos was and will forever be a quasi-federal unit, and by approximation, Yoruba control it. With that they have their airport, port that they take bribes from every Nigerian importing "Discussion continued", and several other perks.

Outside of Lagos, Ibadan, Abeokuta, and even Ilorin are not much different from 1966. Fact.

Igbo people I've never said were perfect, and in fact, have, in addition to "South South" leaders, the worse governors in West Africa, from Thief Theo Orji the clown, to the old man Elechi is Ebonyi. But the day Igbo say they want out, people dey vex.

Why?

Because Igbo people and nearly every South South (EXCEPT IJAW) have the potential of turning their part of the world into an oasis without too much headache. Bayelsa state cannot even figure out how to even dredge any of their water ways till date.

Too Bad

Nigeria is nothing but a militarized country. What is he talking about? Except that if our people were brave like Egypt and France and China, they would have since dumped Owambe and Pastors and killed men like Orji Kalu since.

Period.

Good job for these brave students. enough is enough

Idi Amin: I wonder why God wasted HIS precious time in creating people like this. Anyway, hell fire needs to be filled at the last day so they are useful afterall

LOL!!!!! Dont mind them. Angry because Nigeria says HELL No to Gay Rights.

My friend go and on your Gen JOOOOR!

Abagworo: None of Nigeria's leaders has ever been decent apart from Buhari. Igbos will castigate there own for being a thief while they support other thieves being supported by their own people despite being thieves.

Yoruba people did not suffer from a war which makes their situation kind of different psychologically from Igbos. If you study Yorubas and Ijaws, you'll realize that they fought for their rights and stood by it until they got appeased by other Nigerians. I personally do not like ethnic politics but I believe Igbos should always stand for what is right and through that will they gain relevance in the Nigerian polity.

Again, everything you wrote I agree with except the highlighted part here. The only Yoruba who fought for what they believed in and for their people are the likes of Herbert MAC, Fajuyi, and Gani F. The Yoruba people were and have always been opportunist that profited from other people's LACK of calculations.

Were they not conquered by the same British and Fulani? Was Awolowo or Abiola or Falae allowed to answer HOS? Hell No!

The Ijaws fought and did what? There leaders or quasi-leaders are reactionary to what had already been decided and enacted upon. You cant cry over spilt milk from last month when you were among those who dropped the gallon (Anti-Biafra support).

What's only keeping them from the merciless Nigerian army boys wrath is the Western World that can use hostility to blackmail leaders from the third world, unless they support your authority to do so like OBJ did when he leveled the hell out of the minority villages when President.

[quote author=tolu_ernanes]well, to be factual, i don't remember any time it was reported that gay people went to Abuja to protest for any rights....if anything, it's our national assembly that have gone out of their way (and the way of all the pertinent issues bothering the Nigerian people that they have to actually deal with) to go after gay people. When have you ever heard that two gay people in Nigeria want to get married? Or that they are demanding for rights to get married? Or even demanding for anything at all?

This is how it all starts....straight people go pursuing after closet gay people....gay people start demanding for rights....gay people start getting popular support from powerful people....gay rights are established....if you look carefully, this is how nearly all rights campaigns in history have gone down. If our people know the best thing to do, it is to leave gay people well alone.[/quote]You are correct in everything above. However, look at the situation that occurred recently in Anambra state. When people were selling dodo on head bridge Onitsha, and Peter Obi was giving away cars to the police, Gays "stormed" Awka to demand for gay rights, out the blue.

These folks have not stormed to end kidnapping or rituals, nor to demand roads are built or things that matter. In Nigeria, Gay rights are not relevant until we are no longer Oning and Offing that Gen.

Stopping the flow of cash to Nigeria from people abroad, along with stopping Nigerians from going abroad, either for medical checkup like David Mark does, or to give birth to kids for American Pale, will force more people into desperate actions.

When people start dying from common sicknesses that even Vietnam can cure, or that they cant run with their family to US during strike, they will have no choice but to be serious about nation building.

Its happened everywhere else and will happen here.

Abagworo: And again Igbos suffer from "defeatist syndrome" which has seen them answering "yes sir" to anyone in power. The only way you can gain relevance is by fighting for something and getting it which makes you a stake holder. I was baffled when Igbos neglected Odili whom most of us saw as an Igbo man when he was wrongfully dropped from being the VP under Yar' Adua for being Igbo. Edwin Clarke did not hide it that Odili as an Igbo could not occupy the VP ahead of Ijaw for a South-south slot and it was what led to emergence of Jonathan as VP. Alamiesiegha was a better leader blackmailed for supporting Atiku. Today Amaechi another Igbo is being witch-haunted and Igbos are calling him saboteur. Who is he sabotaging? Rochas is the only Igboman supporting Amaechi in his ordeal and tomorrow, many Nairalanders will claim Ikwerre is Igbo but now that the chips are down, did Igbos support our son? Big NO.

The saga continues.

Perhaps the highlighted part is true. But who in Nigeria is not a "yes sir" person? Hausa People were "yes sir" to Fulani men that were tying bedsheet and calling themselves "Alhaji" abi Emir.

Those Emirs in turn were calling "yes sir" to Queen Eliza's homeboys abi Governor Generals who not only created this country, but who's own sister named Lady Lugard, gave us the title we shamefully continue to boast about (NIGERIA).

Or is it Yoruba, who are also Africa's leading "Yes Sir" folks, whether to Gowon or now Tinubu. The only thing is Yoruba people read the situation better than Igbo and these ND folks thinking they are a majority group when they are not as relevant as they think.

Alamiesiegha was and is a thief. Odili did not turn Port Harcourt into a world class place with all the resources he had. He, along with Attah, Ibori, Igbinedion, Kalu, Udenwa, Mbadinuju and co, were all rogues who could never amount to leaders in the former Eastern or Midwestern Region.

What happened to the debate on state police, updating our primary schools, and more important things?

[quote author=se.xkilza.phull]So, what has it brought you o righteous hypocritical pharisee?? I hope the ND see you people for what you really are! If ND is lacking in significant areas, just like you people, isn't that a reason to be looking and supporting GOOD LEADERS from their zones and states? Rather, you support someone like Jonathan who is one of the MAIN reasons they don't have any of those things, pretending to support their "son", why you know you can at least get a bridge worth a few billions from "their money", is that not so? The day the Ijaws realize that your support is like a trojan horse, and their own support for thieving "sons of the soil" is the bane of their existence, that is the day of their freedom. The Yorubas to the LARGEST extent were the architects of the constitutional transfer of power to Jonathan after Yaradua became incapacitated. They have since seen that in their neck of the woods, Jona is as mentally incapacitated as Yaradua and his continued leadership is the bane of real progress in the country! Guess what? While doing all that, they are aggressively developing their people and lands! They even are generous enough to let you come in and observe our way of doing things, but you must pay taxes! Our tax nets will widen from the current 3 M in Lagos to another 4-5 M in the next few years! The same ideas are quickly being implemented and honed in Ogun and Oyo State while all you people will have to show for it is one man (Jona) who did nothing as governor and helped to steal you even blinder as president! Carry on, me likey! [/quote]First of all, this thread is for articulate minds, so please, go back and re-read the garbage that you call a response.

Last time I checked, Goodluck was governor of BAYELSA, and not ANAMBRA. It was Ijaw people who voted for him AND ALAMSY, who by the way, was stealing money belonging to little Ijaw boys and girls. Maybe Ijaw people should vote Yoruba cousins the Itsekiri people, as their leaders, despite being slapped on both cheeks by them.

@ Mieye007,

Now you have also done your own sermon, only you have exposed yourself to disgraceful levels that Edwin Clark would be ashamed of.

You yourself said Ijaw people opposed Biafra. Igbo people are saying fine, no problem.

But perhaps you have moved out of Bayelsa and to LAGOS and ABUJA, or even ENUGU (LOL) selling fake leather belts because Ijawland is a ecological disaster, where hungry boys introduced the whole kidnapping phenomena into the country.

Why is MEND making noise? Yes, I know its because Ijaw people are LOUD and TINY, but really, why?

Because they are hungry and starving, despite having Ijaw senators, governors, state assembly men balancing and budgeting BILLIONS of Naira every year.

What are they doing with the loot?

FOOL

Mieye007: After exposing you for your LIES about Frank Opigo, the next thing you do is preach a sermon from an erosion valley.....Fulani domination, Igbos domination, what is the difference? Keep having Amnesia.

I've come to understand that the current bunch of Igbos think or rather believe the current generation of Niger Deltans mostly Ijaws have forgotten the events of the past as to the tyranny, stu.pidity & murders by the Igbos. You think because we smile with you daily we must be living in oblivion........You even have the disgusting temerity to term us "saboteurs", what arrant nonesense?

Now you're back again trying to play saviour & big brother clamouring for SS-SE integration, we will surely key in into it to give us the platform to get closer to you in order to perfect how best to deal with all of you.

I don't wanna sound like I'm issuing threats' but you definitely do not have any idea what you guys are getting into. Lemme end by telling the Igbo nation that IGBOS ARE THE CAUSE OF THE PLIGHT OF NIGER DELTANS TODAY.

It is because of the Igbos that the North (with whom we had a warn relationship to the envy of the Igbos) now see us as war bounty. It is because of Igbos that Niger Deltans are suffering in the current Nigerian polity.

You did everything possible to deny us some level of self determination in the Eastern Region just like the Northerners with the Middle Belt. You couldn't even have the quasi-decency of the Yorubas who allowed the "minorities" within then to have some level of self determination.

An Igbo man was the one who introduced UNITARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT and jettisoned the quasi-federal structure of revenue distribution to this devilish system the Northern have mastered & perpetuated.

I hope I've been able to cure some of your ignorance, esp those who are having amnesia, those who choose to live in a dreamworld, those who choose to live in oblivion, those who choose to assume that "THESE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING, THEY MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN". I've read so many Igbo comments on nairaland who write lenghty sermons to justify every Igbo action in Nigeria esp Biafra.

What I've revealled to all of you today is JUST A TIP OF THE ICEBERG of what an average Ijaw/Niger Deltan youth knows and understand at his finger tips. We may not express it outrightly or air them like the current Igbo generation does in the internet, but we know all of it. And your public Igbo Justification Campaign is even making you look very funny in the eyes of the average Niger Deltan....YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY CAN NOT COMPREHEND OUR LEVEL OF SOPHISTICATION WHICH HINGES ON BEING SILENT WITH SO MANY FACTS.

If you like continue the rantings of Igbo justification til forever, this is the closest you'd ever get as a confrontation against your nonsense from an Ijaw man....we will simply keep watching in silence as you continue you public/internet dance of shamelessness.

SHALOM.

What did I tell you guys in my earlier post? Ijaw People= LOUD but TINY

To be Cont

Mieye007: All of your lenghty "sermon from an erosion valley" is just OFF POINT & RIDICULOUS.

Have you tried cyanide capsule for your schizopheria?

If that was your intent to be funny, then no wonder what I wrote about Ijaws stands true. Dont blame Hausa or Igbo or Yoruba for your land that even BBC has shown as a disaster area because you hungry fools wanted a biscuit from Gowon to "Oppose" Biafra.

Up till date you have yet to learn. Useless leaders, and VERY useless followers.

[quote author=Mr knowitall.]Nigeria still has a long way to go before it truly becomes a civilized nation....What these pastors or religious leaders

and politicians don't understand is that Homosexuals and homosexual activist are not asking for equal rights in churches

and mosques..they are asking for equal rights under the law as a citizen of a country which is their right. It is their

right as a citizen of Nigeria to be protected under the law..regardless of who they like to have sex with. Nigeria is not

govern by the bible or Quran its govern by a constitution which guarantees all citizens equal rights. Politics and

religion have nothing in common....with laws like this and if politicians continue to allow religious leaders to influence

the laws...Nigeria will forever remain an irrelevant third world country lead by caveman..[/quote][b]Before a baby can drive a car, normally they would have to crawl and then walk and then by 12 months or so be able to hold a bottle to feed themselves and build 2 blocks on a mat.

Gay rights should be the LAST thing Nigerians should be concerned with at this point in their rather pathetic history. All of those men abi men/women that are going to ABuja to ask for this "right" cannot ask for free and fair election, better schools for the youth, constant power, an effective national airline carrier that will not charge us x3 to fly less than what they are charging to fly from Toronto to London, or that roads be maintained, or criminals that are stealing public funds (aka Ibori) be persecuted in NIGERIA, that government deal with and put to an end the madness with Boko Haram, or that you have to go abroad for medical checkup or even to give birth because being a citizen here is worthless.

Instead, like typical Africans, they want to copy the West without doing the hard and tough dirty work the West had to do with many casualties in order to be on top today.

Nonsense[/b]

Its the right thing for a change (coming from this Rev).

Obama coming to AFrica to tell them to consider being gay is just funny. He knew it, but is acting on what his supporters wanted him to do. Period.

Normally this guy that the Supreme Court of all places, threw out from Government House Awka because they, like everyone, knew did not win his election, and would have kept quiet.

Instead of apologizing for robbing the people of their mandate, including the rigging of state assembly seats, national assembly seats and the like, he is gunning and gearing up to go back, the same as Buhari who overthrew government is gearing up for the 4th straight time.

Too bad that our people are still local.

Very soon Pastors will be importing arms on their luxury private jets, even Tonto Dikeh will join them.

Where's our revolution?

Those "natural" rulers are nothing but bedsheet strapping clowns that think they are Arab. Yet the Arabs each Hajj are dealing more and more ruthlessly with them because even they know they are jokers.

Why couldnt the "natural" leaders find a solution to Boko Haram, or come out and apologize for supporting all those Military boys that ruined our future, from Gowon the British errand boy to Abacha?

WHy couldnt the "natural" leaders support the call to remove amnesty abi immunity from governors, or back state police, or national conference, or even voter ID?

Nonsense

Just shows that our leaders and especially our governors, are all a bunch of touts. Didnt you guys see how local they were on that Youtube clip during the useless NGF meeting?

See what Mimiko is saying, that it will distract them and that those who put it in constitution were not daft lol.

In a serious country this rejection by the presidency and tout governors would warrant an Egyptian style uprising and French revolution massacre of the officials and their supporting Pastor pastor prostitutes.

Thats why Oyibo people were abe to prosecute Ibori and evem Alamsy of Bayelsa, but not us in the Ni.gga area.

Thats why Gbenga Daniel and Udenwa were able to not do one thing for all those wasteful years as governor, and enjoy Lagos and Abuja.

Thats why Theo Orji and Uduaghun can boast of legacy projects that even the Indians from 1940 would have laughed at and said "You are not serious"

Mieye007: What kind of insult is this? How can someone who have no relationship whatsoever with Ojukwu "SUGGEST" a named for that war criminal?

Opigo was a Eastern region member of parliament who always used the term Biafra to describe the Ijaw people in his public debates and comments. He had no relationship whatsoever with the Biafran project, no Ijaw man was part of it. It was Ojukwu who stole the name in an attempt to endear the Ijaws but we resisted him from the start.

Even if this fallacy is deemed to be true, what did it do for the Holy Ijaw folks? Did it bring them the best universities and high schools Africa (forget about the world) has seen? NO!

Did it bring a world class airport to Ijaw area that brings billions of naira into their local economy? NO!

Did it bring a world class stadium and sports facility for Ijaw youths and scholarship and scout recruitment? No!

Did it bring a renown Movie industry or studio into the forest of Ijaw land so that the country and the world can learn and love Ijaw language and culture? No!

Did it pave roads and highway systems that rival those in U.S. and the autobann in Germany, so that Ijaw fishermen can transport that tasty Oporoko and the likes to and fro without police checkpoint and bad pot holes? NO!

Did it generate power stations that produced constant power and energy so that Ijaw women can watch soap operas and cook tasty soups for their husbands with modern equipment and island in their kitchen? NO!

Did it warrant the UN or NATO to seek Ijaw boys for Military learning and training so that Oyibo boys can learn to fight terrorism in the world? NO!

Did it create modern shopping malls, skyscrapers, and beaches (since they are on the Ocean) that tourist would shun Brazil, Dubai, Mexico, and Italy to come to and party or do destination wedding? NO!

So the whole resistance to Biafra or rather support of corrupt illegitimate military clowns and common Wing Commanders parading as State Admin did nothing but put the loud but tiny Ijaws, the Southern Minorities, the Yorubas, and even the Igbos as slaves for British interest and Fulani domination.

Imagine that

He was in charge for 9 years. Dayum

Some of these guys have not even finished any major project in year 2 and already the gist is 2nd term. Men without any clout and frankly bored.

Its good keshi took home based players. But just like former coaches were over dependent on foreign based bench warmers and fat chickens like Yakubu, you dont want to do the extreme opposite and over rely on home based players. Need a good mix with the base being perhaps 5-6 starters from the home base.
