From two litres of oil to 11 oil Wells. That's some improvement don't you think?

You tears is noted anyway.

And we still haven't talked about the fact that over 90% of Nigeria's gas reserves are in Igboland,

Captain8:
Egbemas are Ijaws....they originated from Egbema kingdom bayelsa or delta state...

Go to Egbema and mention that.

Anyway Igbos are more ancient than Ijaws, so Egbema in Igboland came into existence, over a thousand years, before any such name was stolen by you Ijaws, just the same way you stole English bowler hats as a part of your traditional attire, and are angling to steal UBANI, as an Ijaw territory

ogunsbanjul:
Let him know because I guess the guy is not digitally exposed. 50% of the revenue from Lagos state alone is more than the whole revenue generated from region he comes from

And more than 50% of the revenue generated in Lagos, are by Igbos, with Anambra people having the lion share.

Fulanis and TAQIYA are like 5 and 5

Immediately I saw Ayo Adebanjo, Pa Fasoranti and Olu Falae's names there, I knew this was a wasted trip.

Them 3 niggaz ain't gonna play ball with Fulani terrorists.

One of d reason y d Niger Delta decided to distance itself 4rm this mad people. Destroying oil that is not yours. . I thought abia has oil na? Go and burn that one

Abia is in the Niger Delta

Rossinkipp:
The problem with your reasoning is that those American bombs will fall on YOU far more than any 'ISWAP' bombs ever have.

US intervention will also lead to the northern insurgents taking their fight further south.

They will see the south as US supporters. Their retaliation against US attacks will come in the form of attacks on the christian south.

Suddenly going to the market in Onitsha or Lagos would be like attempting so in Basra or Baghdad, with bombs going off, and destroying life as we know it in the south.

Then you will find US planes bombing the south to ''rid them of the terrorists''.

Suddenly the entire south is a hellhole of war, destruction, and refugees, like Syria.

All this should be EASILY predictable by anyone not blinkered by US worship.

ESN will have a field day in this condition. The Nigerian Fulani terrorist army and DSS will no longer have the wherewithal to act against ESN, thus making it possible for ESN to protect easterners more effectively.

I seriously pray that Soyinka's people are successful in this mission.

I smell Tony Nnadi's involvement in all these

BigRocky:
The biggest problem of the south is not the north,their biggest problem is disunity!

Look at South East governor's taking different stans on a bill which wen passed into law will drastically reduce the activities of terrorist herders in the south...

The best way of banning open grazing is to stop electing Fulani presidents. That is the simple truth.

Even if every southern state enacts laws banning open grazing, who will enforce it? The same police being controlled and headed by a Fulani IGP, supported by a Fulani president?

The Anambra governor's reluctance to bring in this law at this time, is understandable, but not entirely justifiable. There is a governorship election in Anambra in a few weeks time, and we have all seen how APC, the Fulani party, has been using the courts to frustrate Soludo, the APGA candidate.
He is probably struggling not to give Buhari more reasons to undermine the Anambra election. But I am certain if the courts eventually get rid of Soludo, Obiano will rush in the anti-open grazing law.

But to repeat what I wrote in the beginning of this message, the best way to ban open grazing is to stop electing Fulani presidents.

Obamaofusa:
The NUC list, as they rightly wrote at the top of that list, is just a listing of PROFESSORS WHO ARE CURRENTLY ATTACHED TO NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES

This your statement is correct.What else did you think we were talking about?
Dead professors?

You started by insinuating that there were more Yoruba professors than Igbo professor. That northern professors have now overtaken Igbo professors in number.
That NUC website was your bible in determining the above insinuations.

But I then corrected you by revealing that the list is not a comprehensive list of professors of Igbo, Yoruba and northern extraction.
That the list only holds the names of professors attached to Nigerian universities, and as there are more SW and NW states, it makes sense that there will be more Yoruba professors on that list, the same as NW professors.

What you initially wrote was quite different from what I have helped to reveal to you.

Cosbyrich:
Oh my! Are you for real?
You mean as soon as a university is built in your region,your people will just begin to turn to Professors,abi?

Please stop beating about the bush. Name one federal university in Igboland with more Yoruba professors than Igbo professors. That will help conclusively prove that there are more Yoruba professors in Nigeria.

Otherwise, the NUC list, as they rightly wrote at the top of that list, is just a listing of PROFESSORS WHO ARE CURRENTLY ATTACHED TO NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES

Y'all will need to upgrade your level of logic, seriously

Obamaofusa:
I am not pretending to be smart,sir.It is part of my field.I wouldnt argue with you again.Pls,ask a learned person close to you how the university system works in relation to Professorship.

I have just told you how it works.

You will have to point out a federal university in the SE, that has more SW professors in it, than SE professors.
If you cannot do this, then your argument is heavily flawed.

It means my postulations are accurate.

If the assignment above is difficult for you, then at least try and give us the name of a federal university in the SW, where there are more SE professors than SW professors.

Obamaofusa:
People will believe NUC more than even listen to your view because they are the custodians of the names and records of all genuine Profs in Nigeria.Even if he is not a Nigerian,he must be registered except he is a fake.

So your conclusion is that people like Prof. Pat Utomi, Prof. Wole Soyinka and Prof Barth Nnaji are not real profs because they are not currently employees of Nigerian universities. Your logic is not very sound.

NUC is only providing a list of professors currently attached to Nigerian universities. As there are more federal universities in the SW and the NW, it makes sense for their to be more employee professors from those areas.

Obamaofusa:
lol
You are olodo.
Assuming the SE has more universities than SW and they need 10 Profs but have 5,are you going to make your undergraduates emergency Profs?

Prof go through a lot of educational stress before becoming one.To get a Phd only is war before attaining professorial position.
I bet you did not go to university or you dont understand how the university system works.

Igbo Prof can work in UI and Yoruba Prof can work in UNN.We can even have more Igbo Profs in ABU than Hausa Profs if the Hausas do not have their own to fill the positions..

Your illiteracy boggles my mind.

In Obafemi Awolowo University, are there more Igbo Professors there than Yoruba professors? The answer is NO

At UNN, are there more Yoruba professors than Igbo professors? The answer is NO.

Well, if the answer is NO to the second question, why then is it written that there are more Yoruba professors in Nigerian universities, after all there are more Igbo professors in UNN than Yoruba professors? This is a question for you. Answer it before you start pretending to be smart.

Meanwhile, 3 Igbos are in the top 4 best performing 2021 JAMBites

Obamaofusa:
I heard you but educational fraud is bad.
WAEC has never done state by state for any of the 5 countries it represents.It is still the fraudulent Igbo catch-up-Yorubas-by-all-means fraudsters that have continually posted falsehood until 2019 when people made enquiry and WAEC denied that they did no ranking.They would have done the same for Ghana,Liberia and the rest.Educational fraud,they call it.

I believe this year, the JAMB result records two Anambra people occupying the first and the second place. An Edo person came third, and a Delta Igbo person came fourth.

So basically in the top 4 positions of the highest performers in the 2021 Jamb list, Igbos occupied three positions. Not bad.

But the claim you made in this thread is totally false. The link is not a proof that Yorubas or Northerners have more professors than Igbos.

Obamaofusa:
lol
Did you see Prof Wole Soyinka and other old Yoruba Profs there? Those are the Profs still active in the universities and Yorubas are minting them like coins.
Absurd excuse.

Does Wole Soyinka work 9-5 in any university? Which university is that?

You obviously don't understand how these things work. The list only contains the names of professors attached to Nigerian universities.

As SW has more states than SE, it means Yorubas have more federal universities. Also the NW has more federal universities than the SE, so the list is only keeping a count of employee professors at Nigerian universities.

You really need to educate yourself to understand what that list represents

https://www.nuc.edu.ng/

According to the NUC website which can be accessed seamlessly by any interested researcher,there is now a shift and a takeover by the Northerners as the Igbos are pushed off the sidewalk of Professorship into the 3rd position in the rank of who has the higher number of Professors between the two educational gladiators.

SW still continues to be the stallion and champion of Education in Nigeria as the number of their Professors is almost triple that of the Igbos according to the Directory of full Professors in Nigerian Universities.
Kudos to the gallant Igbos just as the Northerners are also heralded into the second position of Professorial hierarchy in Nigeria.
Welcome..

Yet again, another attempt by barely literate people to hoodwink the unsuspecting public.

I just made a search for both Prof. Barth Nnaji from the SE and Prof. Pat Utomi from the SS, both of Igbo ancestry, and I found none.

It's clearly written at the top of that site that it contained the list of Nigerian professors in NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES.

First of all, the SE only has 5 states, while the SW has 6 states, and the NE has 7 states. This alone means that due to the marginalisation of the SE, more federal universities will be situated in the SW and NW because they have more states. This in turn means that there will more likely be more Yoruba professors and NE professors in the universities of Nigeria.

The second fact is that, a huge chunk of Igbo professors are more likely to indulge in their own pursuits like Pat Utomi, Barth Nnaji who is in the top five of the most renowned robotics engineers in the world, about 15 years ago. This is obviously due to the fact that Igbos tend to be more entrepreneurial than SW and NE people. The other compelling fact being the fewer opportunities for professorial roles in SE educational institutions because of fewer federal universities, compared to the SW or NE.

This list proves nothing. It only shows what marginalisation has done to the SE. Nice try though

In which page of the website, did you find this statistics? Don't just make a wild statement and think some of us won't investigate.

Where does it say that Igbos have less professors than northerners, bearing in mind that Igbos straddle both the SE and the SS regions. Hundreds of professors like Prof. Pat Utomi who are from the SS, should be represented in the Igbo count

day6789:
so u mean esn was chasing and killing soldiers in Orlu during Buratai reign?. Whoa this is a confessional statement u know? Ipob members will not seize to indict themselves

Soldiers went to Orlu to kill them, because they were chasing terrorists raping and killing Orlu people.

I have nothing against self defence in the situation of a person defending his home.

They sent some of those terrorist soldiers to God, while one of them was running around Orlu, looking for someone to save him

xnsandrxns:
Betraying pigs....
They won't have anything to say about this,
Just imagine if this was a Governor from the SW, they will be here grunting like pigs that they truly are

What do you mean?

Osibanjo and Tinubu are still very much in support of Buhari's policies

CXLVII:
When Burutai was there, what happened? Can you refresh me?

Empty chestbeating lots

It was during Butatai's reign that we all saw the soldier running around Orlu and hiding in a compound

Enoa, an acronym derived from the first letters of Etche; Ndoki; Omuma/Obigbo and Asa, the clans that make up the proposed state.

Etche, Ndoki, Obigbo, Omuma and Asa clans are the same people with same culture, but balkanized into different states of Rivers, Akwa-Ibom and Abia.
:
:
:
According to him, “Enoa is an Igbo-speaking area. So, the decision to put us in South-South or South-East is entirely the decision of the National Assembly, but we on our own, will prefer South-East. We have signatories from leaders of all the five clans coming together to form Enoa State.”

https://orientdailynews.com/news/group-demands-creation-of-enoa-state/

So it is clear Ndoki-Igbo people are hanging with their Igbo brothers, rather than with Alagoa concocted tissue of fallacious tales. Enoa state is far more appealing to Ndoki people than remaining in Rivers state or being added to Bayelsa. That should tell you something.

One important thing you still don't understand is that ethnic identities are SELF IDENTITIES and even change with time.

People define who they are and who they want to be NOT who others wish or expect them to be.


If The people of Opobo and Ibani want to be seen as Igbos, they would have expressed this identity and no body can change it.
Ngwa and Ezza peoples today identify as Igbos Because they want to be identified as such. Nobody is now debating whether Aba is Igbo or not despite the fact that Aba, like other Ngwa towns have Ibibio heritage.

Today nobody is debating whether Kishi is a Yoruba town or not despite the fact that the Royal house in that town is of Bariba origin.


Let the people of Opobo and Ibani chose who they want to be. For now, they express an Ijaw identity than an igbo identity.

If colonialism didn't occur, by now the peoples of Rivers, Imo, Abia, parts of Akwa-Ibom and C/River would have fused into one super ethnic group.

That you put a gun to someone's head, with the threat of loosing their properties, and you force them to adopt your ethnic group, is not natural and organic.

Ask yourself how come after the psychological threats hammered on the Igbos of Ubani (Bonny or Obani as the white slave traders called it), yet the most flamboyant and most known politician in Opobo, made it clear that Opobo is Igboland, occupied by Igbos. Mazi Peterside doesn't even use an Igbo name, yet he knows his heritage.

And you Ijaws made it worse for yourself, when you joined those teasing Igbos that they have no access to the sea, and you think Igbos will allow you expropriate sea-hugging Igbo territories like Ubani and Opobo.

Ndoki people are solidly in the Igbo camp. The events of late last year have revealed to them who their true brothers are. Alagoa can write and bribe hungry Ndoki people to write unsubstantiated books, but when the kolanut arrives, the true Igbo will be known.

Why are Ndoki, Ngwa, Omuma, Asa and others championing the ENOA state movement? Clearly an Igbo state. Why are Ndoki people not fighting to join Bayelsa or even Rivers state? These are questions you should be asking yourself also. Even the Ndokis in RIvers state, want to join their Abia-Ndoki people and Ngwa people in forming their own state. Is that not a huge statement?

oyatz:
No sir, there was never a time that there were no Igbos in Enugu and Nnsuka.
The Biafran soldiers may run away but there were igbo people living all over Enugu, Nsukka, Mbaise, Okigwe, Aba, Isiala-Ngwa etc.

Enugu and Nsukka people relocated to refugee camps further into the Igbo heartland. Those places were ghost towns during the war. The only difference was that Idomas and Igalas were not landgrabbers like Ijaws, otherwise they would have commenced intimidating the northern Igbos into accepting that they are no longer Igbos, and start changing the names of those towns to non-Igbo names.

Ubani cannot be Igbo in1790, 1830 and 1850. And all of a sudden, become Ijaw in 2021, unless there is a concerted Ijaw effort to claim the place by revisionism, falsification of facts, psychological intimidation of the original Igbo owners to adopt Ijaw ancestry and other manner of wickedness.

oyatz:
Territories of Countries aren't established just by a traveling narrative of a foreign slave merchant.

You need to know that nobody brought any land from heaven. The lands that a people presently inhabit is the land they are able to posses. This is what Israel and her Arab neighbours have come to understand that no side can push the other side out and both have rights to exist.

In modern international politics, it's no longer acceptable to try to possess a territory by conquering the present inhabitants of the Territories and annex their lands.

Trying to discredit the most neutral observers. Of course they were slave traders. Was Adaka Boro not a genocidist? Was DIette Spiff not a criminal of the highest order that helped expropriate legally-acquired properties of the Igbos? But you want me to believe Alagoa's concocted tales that he keeps changing whenever he feels he is on shaky ground.

Ancient people have already established the ownership of Obane/Ubani/Bonny. Ijaws were just migrant porters in Ubani. Igbos are the real owners which is why the ruling class and the vast majority of its inhabitants are Igbo-speaking, and genetically Igbo.

Captain8:
but Ndokis already identifying with their Ijaw root with pride na.... or will you people forced them?
go forced them and see our wrath...

So why didn't the Ijaw nation come to the aid of Obigbo people when Wike was killing them.

Go there now and tell them that they are Ijaw. You will not return to the creeks with your complete set of teeth

Captain8:
but Ndokis already identifying with their Ijaw root with pride na.... or will you people forced them?
go forced them and see our wrath...

Those that want to identify with the Ijaws are free to do so

Those that were found in Ubani nearly 200 years ago, were happy to identify with the Igbos.

And by the way, the Ndokis, Omuna and Ngwa people who are currently fighting for ENOA state, will not be happy to be tagged Ijaws

oyatz:
These IPOB guys like to display a dangerous blend of crude ignorance and arrogance.


One of them is busy posting a travel narrative of a 19th century European slave merchant as his evidence that all the coastal towns in the Niger-Delta are owned by igbos!

Those books were written before our grandads were born, and by neutral observers. It is more objective than books written by any Igbo or Ijaw man.

They books also bypassed the shenanigans of landgrabbers and expansionists

oyatz:
Why did you run away from all these 'your coastal territories' between 1967-1970 to Owerri, Abakaliki, Orji Rivers and other places where you considered truly your homes?

We also ran away from places like Nsukka and Enugu. That doesn't make them less Igbos though

Captain8:
dont be deceived, there is no igbo in rivers state...

A book written by a neutral observer nearly 200 years ago, already made it clear Igbos own Ubani.

30 years later Dr. Baikie repeated this fact in his 1850 book.

Your landgrab is dead on arrival.

Alagoa can concoct whatever he likes. Ndoki people will stick with their Ngwa relatives in particular and Igbos in general when the chips are down.
Where Ndoki goes is definitely where Ubani will go

capnies:
THE GREATEST ERROR IS TO CLAIM TO KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. AM NOT ONLY FROM OPOBO AM FROM ANNIE PEPPLES HOUSE

So you must be one of the tenants there. A supreme court ruling has already declared that the Jajas own Opobo.

It may surprise you to know that I have 2 personal friends from Opobo. My info can be piercing to landgrabbers.

Jajas are the supremos in Opobo. If you don't like it, you can always relocate to Brass.

techwaya:
The Igbo man who owns opobo and bonny..

He owned only Opobo. His Igbo descendants still own it. And in fact the Supreme court scuttled the Ijaw effort to criminally take over Opobo from the Jajas

Ndoki Igbos own Ubani, which is why the name of the town has an Igbo meaning only. It doesn't have any Ijaw meaning both Ubani and Ibani/Ebani
