It is no longer news that rampart poverty is afflicting the state of Osun since everyone depends on the government one way or the other. Oil price has fallen and poverty wears a Yoruba Agbada . please don't be insulting and address the problem on hand. |
Jonathan is a hero |
MUMU YORUB... AND EWUHAUSA... THERE is no oil in Yoruba land or the Hausa desert. The owners of the oil are Abia, Bayelsa, Delta, IMO, Always Ibom ....and they are not complaining |
who poisoned the minds of some Yoruba's ........Meet these salient facts rather than spewing saliva about a phantom theft |

Goodluck Jonathan was the best executive President Nigeria ever had. This is the reason Islamic hausa- fulani-Yoruba APC is fighting the truth which is a standard they don't want to be judged with. *CNN Money projected that the fastest growing economy in the world in 2015 will be China (7.3% growth); followed by Qatar (7.1%) and then followed by Nigeria (7%). this attests to the astute management of the economy by the Jonathan administration under the ministerial assistance of the world renown economist Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala (Igbo). * Nigeria's Gross domestic Product ranked the nation's economy 1st in Africa and 26th globally; from 3rd and 46th respectively. The economy became more widely diversified than before. * Foreign Direct Investment were boosted from US$24.9 million as at 2007 to over US$ 35 billion by 2014 and virtually all quoted companies doubled in size, assets and profit. * Jonathan's administration rendered over 25,000 kilometers of federal road motorable from barely 5,000 Kilometers as at 2011. * Began work on second Niger bridge and Loko-Oweto bridge over river Benue. * Nigerian railways was resuscitated from a 30-years old coma with over 3, 500 kilometers of lines operational. * 22 airports remodeled to meet International standards and five International ones namely Lagos, Abuja, Portharcourt, Kano and Enugu. * Agricultural transformation agenda made it possible to now export Cassava and increasingly attain 60% self- sufficiency in Rice production. * The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations voted Nigeria the largest producer of Cassava in the world. * the Jonathan administration built six strategically-l ocated perishable cargo airports in Ilorin, Jalingo, Jos, Lagos, Makurdi and Yola in close proximity to Nigeria's food baskets. * Under Jonathan's administration Agriculture accounted for 22% of Nigeria's GDP, more than Oil and Gas which only account for 15.9 percent. Nigeria recorded more than 50% reduction in food imports. Prior to his Presidency, we had a food import bill of 1.4 trillion naira but his policies reduced it to less than N700 billion. * rehabilitation of 19 dams and construction of 14 irrigation projects - millions of Nigerian farmers are engaging in all season farming across the country except Boko Haram disturbed areas * Jonathan’s administration resuscitated the Warri and Portharcourt Refineries that were deliberated left to rust and pine by preceding administrations. * Power generation went up from some 2,000 megawatts in 2011 to some 5,000 megawatts in 2014. More independent power plants commission. nevertheless there was sabotage by blowing up underwater gas pipelines in then APC controlled states - Lagos and Rivers states. * Jonathan administration established 14 new universities and 150 almajiri schools in 13 northern states. Under Jonathan administration there had been a 10 million increase in school enrollment in Nigeria. * People-oriented projects under the Subsidy Re- Investment and Empowerment Programme (SURE - P) which helped create 1.6 million Jobs in 2013. *CNN Money projected that the fastest growing economy in the world in 2015 will be China (7.3% growth); followed by Qatar (7.1%) and then followed by Nigeria (7%). this attests to the astute management of the economy by the Jonathan administration under the ministerial assistance of the world renown economist Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala (Igbo). * Nigeria became the 23rd largest economy in the world overtaken European countries like Belgium and Austria. * In 2010 when Jonathan was acting president, life expectancy in Nigeria was 47 years but by 2015 it was 54 years, an improvement of seven years. * Maternal Mortality ratio in Nigeria was reduced by 26% * Under Jonathan, Nigeria had become Guinea-worm-fre e; a disease previously affecting 800,000 Nigerians yearly. Polio was extinguished from Nigeria as no new cases were detected in the last nine months of his administration. Bill Gates, the richest man in the world and humanitarian philantropist hailed Nigeria's fight against polio as one of the great world achievements of 2014. * Between 2012 and 2015 the United nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) ranked Nigeria as the number one country for foreign investment with the fourth highest rate of returns on investments in the world. This was inspite of security challenges from Islamic Jihadists from the north. * In 2010, when Jonathan came to power, Aliko Dangote (Hausa) was the 463rd richest man in the world with a total fortune of $2.1 billion. Jonathan's policies and support made him the 23rd richest man in the world with a total of $25 billion. * Transparency International in 2010 ranked Nigeria 134th out of 178 countries in corruption. Under Obasanjo Nigeria was 1st, 3rd and remain one of the most corrupt in the world. * By instituting the e-payment system, Jonathan's administration sanitized the civil service by removing 50,000 ghost workers in one fell swoop. The administration also got rid of ghost voters from the electoral register; over 1 million ghost voters were removed from Zamfara INEC register alone. * Under Jonathan's administration Free and Fair elections were conducted in Edo, Anambra, Ondo, Ekiti and Osun. * Under Jonathan's administration Nigeria won the African Cup of Nations and Under 17 World. * Jonathan’s government for the first time in Nigeria conducted an election in which the opposition won and handed over power without incident. #Those who fought Jonathan will soon be on their knees to beg him and ask forgiveness. It is very unfortunate that under 8 months, Buhari APC government has ran Nigeria's economy aground. Buhari APC government has really messed Nigeria up Nigeria and the Lying information minister Mr Lai Muhammed is not even helping matters at all. He is busy lying to Nigerians everyday about state of the economy. May God salvage Nigeria from Buhari APC clueless government# |

It is no longer news that a loosened broom is useless for sweeping. We cannot allow regionalist or statist to create a rift between us. I may not be an Igbo of pure stock as others but am Igbo all the same. We have been silently pursuing our individual self-centered goals instead of pursuing the goals that will enthrone our collective interest. Igbo Kwenu ..........

2. THE IJAW PEOPLES: Ijaw (also known by the subgroups " Ijo" or " Izon " are
a collection of peoples indigenous mostly to the forest
regions of the Bayelsa, Delta, and Rivers States within
the Niger Delta in Nigeria . Some are resident in Akwa-
Ibom, Edo , and Ondo states also in Nigeria . Many are
found as migrant fishermen in camps as far west as
Sierra Leone and as far east as Gabon along the
Western Africa coastline and the Dakolo Family that
migrated from Ghana notable from the family is Timi
Dakolo .
The Ijo population is estimated to be over 10 million
people. They have long lived in locations near many
sea trade routes, and they were well connected to
other areas by trade as early as the 15th century. [2]
The former President of Nigeria , Goodluck Jonathan , is
an Ijaw.
Language
Main article: Ijoid languages
The Ijaw
speak nine
closely
related Niger–
Congo
languages , all
of which
belong to the
Ijoid branch of
the Niger–
Congo tree.
The primary
division between the Ijo languages is that between
Eastern Ijo and Western Ijo, the most important of the
former group of languages being Izon , which is
spoken by about ten million people.
There are two prominent groupings of the Izon
language. The first, termed either Western or Central
Izon (Ijaw) consists of Western Ijaw speakers:
Ekeremor , Sagbama (Mein) , Bassan, Apoi , Arogbo,
Boma (Bumo), Kabo (Kabuowei) , Ogboin, Tarakiri, and
Kolokuma-Opokuma (Yenagoa ). [citation needed ]
Nembe , Brass and Akassa (Akaha) dialects represent
Southeast Ijo (Izon). [citation needed]. Buseni and
Okordia dialects are considered Inland
Ijo. [ citation needed]
The other major Ijaw linguistic group is Kalabari .
Kalabari is considered an Eastern Ijaw language but
the term "Eastern Ijaw" is not the normal
nomenclature. Kalabari is the name of one of the Ijaw
clans that reside on the eastern side of the Niger-
Delta (Abonnema, Buguma, Bakana, Degema etc.) who
form a major group in Rivers State, hence their
involvement in the fight for greater oil control. Other
"Eastern" Ijaw clans are the Okrika, Ibani (the natives
of Bonny, Finima and Opobo) and Nkoroo . They are
neighbours to the Kalabari people in present-day
Rivers State, Nigeria .
Other related Ijaw subgroups which have distinct
languages but very close kinship, cultural and
territorial ties with the rest of the Ijaw are the Epie-
Atissa , Engenni (also known as Ẹgẹnẹ), and Degema
(also called Udekama or Udekaama). [3] These groups
speak Delta Edoid languages . The Ogbia clan, Andoni
people , as well as residents of Bukuma and Abuloma
( Obulom ) speak Cross River
languages .[ citation needed]
It was discovered in the 1980s that a nearly extinct
Berbice Creole Dutch , spoken in Guyana, is partly
based on Ijo lexicon and grammar . Its nearest relative
seems to be Eastern Ijo, most likely Kalabari
(Kouwenberg 1994).
Origin
Their settlement in the delta was from the earliest of
times. Unfortunately not much is known about this
period, only that traditionally it is said that these early
ancestors “dropped from the sky” (i.e. to say the Orus
were of divine origin), and were devotees of a spiritual
culture that made much use of the waters (hence the
mermaid and water people legends “Beni-Otu”) They
were later to be joined by other ancestors “Kumoni-
Orus” from about 400 CE, and 650 CE (AD), who, after
settling first in the Nupe and Borgu regions, then the
Ile-Ife region, moved to the Benin region via Nupe,
and Ife. [4]
In the Benin region they eventually settled and
launched expeditions into the Niger Delta, where they
came across remote settlements of the Orus, whom
they termed “ancient people”. But because they were
also ultimately Oru, from the beginning they
established communities as one people. The Ijos were
known by the two names of Kumoni or Oru up till the
time of the 19th century. European visitors noted the
name Oru as a distinct term for Ijaw. Likewise the
compilers of the Izon/English dictionary noted that “to
speak Kumoni is to speak pure Izon language”. The
term Ijo (Ijaw) or Izon evolved as the name of the
whole ethnic nationality through time, even though as
a personal name it derived from one ancestor who was
known as Ujo, whom as we have previously
mentioned, represents the time when the Ijos evolved
as a distinct separate people from their neighbours.[4] |
