The Headline might read like this: "A GANG OF HEADSMEN EXPOSES ABARIBE AS THEIR SPONSOR".

This kind of politics discourages politicians with good intentions.

who intention epp
They need to find a winning strategy like tinubu did

Shameless politicians.

By the way, why are our Police easily used like this?

Congratulations to her..

She clearly wasn't the favorite, she sent shock waves across the spectators, their expectations were cut off.

She should be encouraged and fully supported towards the next Olympic games.

nobody sipping you from supporting her

What you call agriculture here is actually peasant farming

SleakBuzzPR:
We keep confining ourselves to this failed system where a couple of old buffoons sit together at a pepper soup joint to derail the future of the coming generation.

Nysc is inconsequential and lacks any developmental value other than wasting 12months of the lives of Youths and syphooning money under the guise of national service.

A nation that has no regards for lives, property and the improvement of the standard of living has no business soliciting for my patriotic duties. I would gladly render if it was worth it. But it ain't.

I'd rather develop myself and be of service to my family....

you have no choice unless you are self employed

Have you bothered to look up the Wikipedia entry for wheat (Triticum aestivum)? If you did that (or a Google search) you'd realize that it does best in more temperate parts of the world, rather than in the tropics, which is why places like Canada and the USA are by far the biggest wheat producers. There's a reason why wheat was never a part of West African diets before powers like Britain and France came to carve out colonies. Here's a scientific paper discussing the issue: https://digital.library.adelaide.edu.au/dspace/bitstream/2440/100419/2/02whole.pdf

In any case, this is all irrelevant. The market naturally sorts out which goods and services have a comparative advantage where, and all governments have to do is stop trying to interfere with the results. Cocoa production in Ghana and Nigeria took off despite the intentions of the British, who wanted to force farmers to grow rice, and if our farmers have an advantage in wheat, the interference of an inept and corrupt Nigerian government won't be required to make it tell.

fortunately agric is still dominated by the private sector despite three massive ignorance present there

hope the article talks about spring wheat which can grow profitably in african highlands.as opposed to winter wheat which is not temp tolerant

GTA V Has Apparently Made More Money Than Any Movie in History.
-More than Titanic
-More than Avatar
-More than anything Marvel/Dc/Disney/Warner Bros. has ever produced
-GTA V has sold 90 million Units worldwide. That's an estimated $6 billion dollars in profit for Rockstar Games the company behind the hit game back in 2013.

And my people said there is no money in gaming.

Blue3k:
You're saying that DICON doesn't produce the weapons listed? Who's what they're doing then.

the're just looting there

Blue3k:
Nigeria manufactures light arms it's a known fact. Go on the DICON website and see for yourself. It's the more sophisticated weaponry that Nigeria doesn't make. I'll give you short list. We should have progressed much futher than this.

guy i go nda
we buy or capture all our weapons
no be by website

omohayek:
The Nigerian obsession with "self-sufficiency" just shows the total lack of understanding of the principle of comparative advantage, even at the highest levels of government. Buhari and his propagandists are just the latest in a long line of Nigerian rulers who can't seem to grasp that "self sufficiency" has nothing to do with prosperity, otherwise countries like North Korea and Nigeria (which already has one of the lowest import to GDP ratios in the world) would be at the top of the prosperity lists, while countries like the UK, South Korea and Singapore would be amongst the poorest. It's economic ignorance like this - along with the pervasive corruption and irrational, tribalism-driven policy-making - which has led to Nigeria suffering from such low economic growth for so many decades, even as formerly poorer countries have passed us by.

are you sure we don't have an advantage in wheat?

they are not illiterate
it doesn't pay them to fix it

omohayek:
In other words, they want to take Nigeria in the opposite direction to that which every other country - including agricultural powerhouses like America, Canada and Australia - has taken to attain highly-developed status! It's sobering to think that the livelihoods of more than 180 million people depend on the decisions of leaders so ignorant of even the rudiments of economic history, and that the rank economic illiterate currently in Aso Rock is coasting to another 4 years of economic destruction, thanks to a toothless and incompetent opposition.

Blue3k:
The should revamp the DICON aswell. All we manufacture is light arms so far. Work more with universities for R& D.

which one
we import every
we barely produce boots

Funnicator:
Never seen any other pro-northern President than Buhari.


Everything has been transferred to North.

UNIMAID for Borno never do them?

You're just wasting money building infrastructure for your boko sons to bomb into smithereens.

Tax payers money!!!!

why do southern presidents not do same
instaed only to loot dem sabi

gidgiddy:
I have no doubt in my mind that a referendum on independence will be held in Igbo land within the next 5 years and I'm confident that at least 85% of our people will vote to be independent.

then what will happen?

I have never been drunk in my life. But that day is the day I reserve to be drunk for the first time as I celebrate the freedom of my people and not being a Nigerian any more.

Biafrannuke:
From what i have read many pro zoo fellas still scare us that Biafra is impossible to get.

peacefully

to them i say ask from people who have experience.
when we told people that Jonathan would loose in 2015 they said it was impossible for a sitting president to loose in the zoo but it happened.

and you voted(rigged) 98 -99%
and still lost

Nobody believed Trump would win a day to election, not even obama.

its hilary that did not believe

Also who would have thought that North korea's kim who did nuclear test in October will be open to denuclearization by March.

he see pesin wen craze pass am
ordinary awo shut you down last time
also that was a well olayed strategy on his part

Assad can be overthrown before the end of April,

how
who will start ww3 for his cowardly dumb ppl

zoo can also break up before 2020.

hahahahahahahaha
since 1963 dem don de talkm am

never say never. nothing is impossible especially when international pressure is involved.

oil trumps pressure

Al bashir of sudan proved stubborn during Sudan conflict but accepted referendum when ICC and subsequent arrest warrant was used against him.

yet he still rules south sudan by proxy

selemempe:
First of all, many Igbos like me nowadays will rather not invest in property at all than invest outside Igboland. U may not knw this cos u still see so many igbo property in lagos.
Second on the issue of blood bath ....do u even realise that 1. There is an international community? 2. That Biafra will have a military? 3. Do u realise that many non Igbos are in igboland. FG civil servants, traders, pastors, bankers and professional? Would fg of Nigeria not move to calm violent protests in the north within days knowing wat is at stake? Or u think igbos are not violent? 4. That globacom, gtbank and so many Nigerian-owned business would be under threat also if nigerians move against igbos? I dont really think that all igbo business in the entire north put together is worth as much as gtbank assets in south east.

what asset
once the drums pf war beat money will be changed and naira will be useless.ibo don,t sell thei land so....nothing to lose
glo base stations will be shtdown and useless to you

Yes i agree that there would be violent protests and property siezing if Biafra comes. But it would be short lived because the two govts will work to bring it under a manageble level.

Wat seems to make igbos seem unserious about biafra is because igbo youths dont have arms and igbo politicians dont want biafra

gidgiddy:
Why it is so difficult is because they have done that before but you Nigerians still came for them. In 1967, they moved home, declared their own country. You Nigerians still came to the East to fight for 3 years to bring them back into Nigeria. Now you want them to do that again? Nobody is going to repeat such mistake twice.



Referendum date first before moving.

they tried to take ss and lagos(where they bleeped up)

saaron:
Biafra has the rest of Africa as her internal market.

that hates their guts
all the way to india and china and malaysia

gidgiddy:
Bloodbath is what Nigerians are about. Biafran are after a the democratic instrument of a referendum as has been used in civilised places like Scotland in 2014

which do you think will win

selemempe:
then that is what we must do. I know some Nigerians no matter how small also have property in Igboland...they must also learn to forget it.

In 1984 Buhari forced Ghanans out of Nigeria...today Ghana is doing better than nigeria and wants nigerians out.. touchè

I also believe that wat will make or marr Biafra is not the ppl but the leadership. A responsibe leadership would be able to Negotiate with Nigeria to get a favourable deal for Igbos who have property in Nigeria.
Glo, Nigeria- owned banks, nigeria brewries and other businesses of nigerian origin would be used as leverage. Also the issue of National building will depend on leadership also. Ghana was battered by corruption after independence till jerry rawlings happened.
We have capable igbos. I recall how sullivan chime transformed enugu...how soludo transformed nigeria banking sector...we only need to put learned ppl in positions of leadership, and WICKEDLY demand accountabilty from them

define transform enugu

selemempe:
Let me add my voice to my brothers.
1. We need to start a new movement like IPOB and Massob. However this movement will not be called Biafra. It will be called Igbo nationalism movement. It will not include non Igbos. (Not yet anyway)

2. We need to get big Igbo names on board. Ezekwesili, Soludo etc. They need to be the face of the movement.

they will all be probed

3. The activities of the movement will include radio propaganda (without insulting anyone), tv propaganda, newspaper (propaganda), blogs and social media.

tagged hate speech and proscribed

4. We need to unite Massob, IPoB, Zionist movement and other Biafran agitators to this movement. The united faction leaders need to be given visible roles in the new movement.

labeled terrorists

5. We need to (through the efforts of the movement leaders) first of all pressure the Ohaneze to pass a motion supporting referandum for Igbos in Nigeria. Then we pressure state houses of assemblies to also pass a motion supporting referandum for Igbos. Then we pressure governors to adopt these motions.

govs only care about votes not biafra

Next would be to get members of the national assembly of Igbo origin to introduce a motion in both houses, calling for a referandum for Igbos. (I dont expect the motion to pass in the national assembly)

these are worse

6. We would then push for the Igbo nation to be recognised within Nigeria as an authonomous region. And For a premeire to be elected for the Igbo nation and recognised by govt, and for the premirer to be the head of an Igbo regional govt. And for the Igbo regional govt be able to manage resouces found in Igboland and pay a percantage to FG And also for matters such as power and energy; local policing; census and statistic collection to be delegated to the premiere and the Igbo regional govt.

7. We would go like this for a long time as an autonomous entity within one Nigeria (like hong kong, qubec or scotland etc), and then finally seek full independence from Nigeria as The Republic of Igboland. We may make certain concessions to Nigeria (for a start). Such as continuing to use the Naira; joining ECOWAS; Signing trade agreements and Maritime agreements with Nigeria; allowing free movements of people across the border and allowing for dual citizenships for Nigerians living in Igboland and vice verser.

8. We would then revisit the Niger Delta region and seek aliance if they are willing.

When we get independence, we should do away with the 5 state structure and remove all sorts of classification. We should take Igbo as one nation...one tribe....one people. No 'he is from Nsuka or from abakaliki' talk.
We would also be a democracy and republic like our fore fathers.
And if the Niger Delta joins us, we should integrate them well into the politics of the nation and then probably change our name to Biafra or any other one.
Dalu nu.

only violence will get you out of this deathgrip cos oil and gas will never be irrelevant anytime soon

Hotfreeze:
Wrong.

Igbos should constitute itself into a powerful voting bloc capable of swinging results in a candidate's favour. Once that is done, Igbos have a more solid bargaining position to demand certain things.

You see, the nonsense happening to Igbos in Nigeria would be extended to Igbos when they form Biafra.

I think one major factor that would shape a lot of things is: on whose terms would Biafra be formed? If you look up to the miscreants in Nigeria to give you freedom, it would never come. Even if they grudgingly give you, it would come with ridiculously terrible conditions.

Freedom is not granted on a platter of gold, you have to sweat and fight for it. Civil disobedience is the way to go.

listen very carefully to this man

neezar:
Igbos can survive anywhere, just make the place to be hospitable for them

yet they make the place inhospitable with running their mouth

Nonaira3:
See question from a supposed grown man.

Although there's no common definition of "people" thus far according to the UN. According to research, the Criteria for the definition of "people having the right of self-determination" was proposed during 2010 Kosovo case decision of the International Court of Justice: 1. traditions and culture 2. ethnicity 3. historical ties and heritage 4. language 5. religion 6. sense of identity or kinship 7. the will to constitute a people 8. common suffering. All of which Igbos fall under

you have the right but not the balls

Daewang:
My brother the way these people reason like animals always baffles me. I always wonder what their IQ level may be.

since 1956 300 billion pounds has been looted from oil
and there is close to over 6 trillion dollars (with a capital T) of gas beneath niger delta
you really think your iq is not retarded?
