His treatment of the non yorubas in Western region exposed his tribalistic nature to the core. The more reason Midwest broke out of Western region. Awolowo was the cause.

. You are very uneducated, Delta north has one of the largest oil reserve in Delta State, egbema and ogbibo in Rivers has great oil reserves in Rivers State, so what makes them parasites, igbos have nine local government in Delta State, I thought I was discussing with an enlightened person,how many of your people are as rich as even the ikoku spare parts sellers, how many igbo billionaires have oil Wells , don't go and fight the emir's controlling your resources, be fighting igbos, we are well ahead and we will continue to be well ahead both in Nigeria and outside of it, your politicians who use your money to buy houses for girls in Dubai or your leaders who sell your employment slots to strangers are not your problem but igbos, I pity Nnamdi Kanu who is including you guys in his imaginary Biafra, my own Biafra is exclusively for igbos, wether we oil or not, wether ocean or not, blue births, flock with blue births, green births, flock with green birds. Peace

I already told you that you guys can have them but you are not satisfied. They are not wanted in Niger Delta Republic. You guys can have them, na still wahala. Yes! Have them with their oil abeg. The oil in Imo and Abia is it not the same Northern Cabal that is milking them? Go fight them too. Since you nor dey see the big log of wood wey dey your mediocre forehead. I always mean well for Biafra but the fact that you guys are betrayal is undisputed.

Delta North has the largest oil reserves in Delta? Who be this fool self wey dey one place for Igboland to talk wetin he nor know. Delta South has the highest oil reserves in Delta, followed by Delta Central. Only Ndokwa get oil for Delta North. Agric and cash crops, dem be zero. Abeg you guys should have them. Abeg.

So having nine local governments in Delta now makes them less of a parasite or it makes them a larger parasite like North is to South. 9 useless local government feeding on the revenue from Delta South and Central? Politically motivated local governments. Even at that, Urhobo is still the most populated ethnic group in Delta and they have just 8 local government. Only Ughelli North in Delta Central alone covers up to 3 local governments in Delta North. It is no news that the Urhobos control the political space of Delta. Even with the 8 local governments, they have more house of assembly members than Delta North with 9 local governments. Don't say who is the Governor and where the capital is. The capital was a reward for pussy relationship between Babangida and Mariam, it was not decided on equity and fairness. If na Governor, the Urhobos have produced 2 past Governors in Delta and Okowa became the first Governor from Anioma only with the real support of an Urhobo convicted past Governor Ibori.

Delta North is a parasite. Have them sir.

emezuo17:
. Good, so what happens to igbos in Delta and Rivers State if your new Republic comes to life, I really think we need to talk the truth about the past, strengthen the present and move into the future with a better plan and understanding, please note and tell your brothers that the igbos are not interested in your oil, we can pay for it, the coast also can be paid for, just the way we have bought all over Lagos. It will Favour the ijaws and other riverine communities more if igbos can replicate what they are doing in Lagos down here, it is a win win for you guys, think out of the box, our enemy is a common one.

They can join you betrayals. They are of no value to the Niger Deltans. They are parasites. Agric them no get, oil no level. What do we do with them other than to allow them join their owners, the betrayals.

emezuo17:
. Thank you for this your write up, but eventually both Isaac Adaka Boro and Ken Sari Wiwa died miserably in the hands of who? Ojukwu and Zik abi, listen I am totally against any arrangement that will lump you guys and the igbos together, but please also note that the so called Niger Delta you are talking about also have indigenous igbos oh, think about it.

The Niger Delta Republic declared by Boro had no Igbos in it. There is a difference between the Niger Delta Republic declared by Boro and the actual definition of Niger Delta. That declared by Boro was made up of Bayelsa and Ijaw areas of Rivers State that were part of Eastern region then.

putin2:
Fool who are niger deltan you are talking about?are they tribe or a region? or what fool.niger delta state is nine state .imo,Abia and ondo included.

You sound funny. The Niger Delta Republic declared by Isaac Adaka Boro then was made up of current Bayelsa and the Ijaw area in Rivers State which were part of Eastern region then. Boro didn't include current Cross Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Igbo speaking part of Rivers State. He declared independence for the ijaw oil producing areas of Eastern region then. Delta and Edo were not part of Eastern region then. Boro didn't include Cross Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Igbo part of Rivers. Boro soldiers killed were all ijaws.

TheRareGem1:
He single handed solve the decade of problem ravaging the so called south south within a few month....oil bombing. Or you think it just stopped overnight. Give credit who it's due bruh.


That is your south south, you are not even ashame if yourself here, he added about four more modular refineries in your region, cleaning Ogoni land, a land bastardised with unimaginable diets and in-habutable land left for so many decades, work in progress because the state of Ogoni land is just in habutable...check hyprep for more updates on Ogogo clean-up

Don't be a fool. Ogoni clean up is a scam.

Bombing? When did Osinbade end bombing in Niger Delta? Are you alright? Yoruba ohhh

What are the success of this administration. Yoluba agenda of trying to single out Osinbande from the failure of APC is legendary. He is a failure together with his master, Buhari. You can only deceive the North, not we in South South.

See this one. Award wey he go pack give Yoruba comedians wey only dey manage try for skit.

Ayo now wants to extend his tribalistic and Yoruba agenda he exhibits in Headies aka Yoruba award into comedy and start awarding local mediocre Yoruba skit makers like Broda Shaggi, Ariole, Barr. Mike, CuteAbiola and the rest awards.

That was how he gave Yoruba artistes undeserving awards in every Headies to the detriment of those who deserve them. Ayo the Hitler of South West. Any South Southerner that partake in that award should be ready to be sidelined. Falz won best rap song with Bop Daddy, he don't want to give it to a non Yoruba so he had to stylishly give it to Falz.

Make I nor talk more. With he tribalistic NTA-level award.

Banga soup with beletete spicing is yummy.

(CNN) — If a steaming bowl of soup strikes you as the ultimate in old-fashioned comfort, you've got plenty of company. Soup is one of the world's oldest and most universal foods, said Janet Clarkson, author of the book "Soup: A Global History."

"Every culture has some kind of soup," she said. "It's got very ancient roots." Early people simmered everything from turtle shells to lengths of bamboo in soup, she writes in the book, turning out metal soup pots starting in the Bronze Age.

Boiling food made it possible to subsist on stable grains, with herbs and other ingredients added for nourishment or medicinal purposes.

Each time you deliver a pot of soup to a friend with the sniffles, Clarkson said you're in fact carrying on an age-old tradition. "Separating food and medicine — that's not how ancient people thought of it," she said. "I think in every country in the world, historically, some soups were seen as restorative."

That's true no matter what you call it. Today, soup leans brothy while stews are more substantial, but the world's spoonable foods have never fit neatly into the two English-language categories.

While Clarkson dove into centuries of etymology to trace the history of soup, potage and broth, she settled on a generously broad take. "Just some stuff cooked in water," she wrote, "with the flavored water becoming a crucial part of the dish."

It's a definition that leaves room for the world's tremendous culinary diversity. These are CNN'snominations for 20 of the best soups around the world:

Banga | Nigeria

Banga is so popular in Nigeria that shops sell ready-mixed packets of spice.

Fruits from the oil palm tree lend both fat and flavor to this soup from the Niger Delta, which also features fresh catfish, beef and dried seafood.

It's so popular that packets of ready-mixed banga spiceare sold in shops. Most blends include African nutmeg, castor seed, orima, jansa and beletete leaves.

The spices infuse a rich, red sauce that's the soup's main draw: Soak it up with eba or a ball of starch, two Nigerian staples both made from cassava prepared with different methods.

Beef pho (phở bò) | Vietnam

A bowl of beef pho is sure to cure what ails you.

Broth is simmered for hours with cinnamon, star anise and other warm spices to create a wonderfully aromatic base for this rice noodle soup.

Pho is among Vietnam's most recognized culinary exports, but the soup is a relatively new food, wrote Andrea Nguyen, author of "The Pho Cookbook."

And while today's pho restaurants serve a wide range of flavors, beef is the original. By 1930, Nguyen explained, the soup was served with slices of raw beef cooked gently in the broth.

Today, beef pho remains the most beloved version in Vietnam, with options that include the original raw beef, a mix of raw and cooked beef, brisket and tendon.

Borscht/Ukraine

Chunks of tender beets swim in brilliant red broth for a soup that's beloved in Ukraine and across Eastern Europe. Often topped with a rich dollop of sour cream, borscht is anything but basic beet soup. It gets a tangy kick from kvass, a lacto-fermented beet juice that's another regional specialty.

And while the soup is sometimes attributed to Russian cuisine, that claim is hotly contested. Now, Ukrainian chefs are behind a campaign to get their version on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

Bouillabaisse | France

Bouillabaisse is synonymous with Marseille, France

A fisherman's stew turned culinary icon, bouillabaisse distills classic Mediterranean flavors into a dish synonymous with the coastal city of Marseille. Saffron, olive oil, fennel, garlic and tomatoes blend with fish fresh from the sea.

At one time, that fish would reflect each day's catch, but things have gotten a bit stricter.

According to signatories of the 1980 Bouillabaisse Charter — a collective attempt by local chefs to ensure the quality of the French soup — the most authentic recipe must include at least four kinds of seafood chosen from a list that includes monkfish and crab.

Caldo verde | Portugal

This hearty soup hails from Portugal's wine country.

Thinly sliced greens meld with potatoes and onions in this homey soup from Portugal's wine-producing Minho region. Now, the soup is a culinary star from upscale cafes to rural kitchens, the definition of down-home comfort food.

In many versions, tender Portuguese chouriço sausage adds an undercurrent of smoky, salty flavor that makes the soup even heartier. Enjoy alongside a glass of Minho's famed vinho verde wine.

Chorba frik | Algeria, Libya and Tunisia

Chorba frik is popular in North Africa after the sun sets during Ramadan.

Durum wheat harvested while green, called freekeh, adds satisfying heft and nourishment to this North African soup, which is especially beloved during the holy time of Ramadan.

The tender grains absorb a tomato broth and aromatic spices, their flavor melding with chickpeas plus stewed chicken, beef, mutton or lamb. Serve with lemon wedges and a hunk of kesra bread.

Chupe de camarones | Peru

Shrimp lovers will want to try the Peruvian soup known as chupe de camarones.

This creamy shrimp chowder is a specialty of Arequipa, a historic city surrounded by towering volcanoes. Cold nights in the mountains are perfect for the hearty dish: Tender shrimp swim alongside chunks of Andean potatoes and corn.

It's got a kick, too. The addition of ají amarillo, a chili pepper with a lilting, fruity flavor, adds satisfying spice to balance out the rich and creamy ingredients. Maybe that explains the soup's reputation as a powerful aphrodisiac.

Gazpacho | Spain

Gazpacho is a great way to enjoy a cold treat on a hot day.

Summer in Andalusia brings searing weather, ideal for cooling down with a bowl of this chilled vegetable soup. Today's most classic version includes tomatoes, cucumbers, garlic and olive oil, with a handful of stale breadcrumbs added for body.

Arabs brought the dish to the Iberian Peninsula centuries before Spaniards tasted tomatoes, a New World ingredient. The original was a blend of bread, garlic and olive oil, pounded in a mortar and seasoned with vinegar.

Groundnut soup | West Africa

Sweet potatoes and okra are stars in this particular version of groundnut soup, popular throughout West Africa.

As with so many culinary treats, groundnut soup ignores international boundaries: Meat, fish or chicken simmered into a thick peanut soup is pure comfort food in countries across West Africa. Versions range from Gambian domoda — the national dish — to a Nigerian take cooked with bitter, leafy greens.

No matter the country, such soups and stews are creamy, rich and salty, a satisfying combination that often gets a fiery jolt from the addition of Scotch bonnet peppers.

Gumbo | United States

Chicken, sausage and shrimp festoon this gumbo.

Cultures and flavors meld in a hearty soup that's a star of Louisiana cuisine, influenced by West African, Native Choctaw and French cuisines. Versions made with seafood, chicken and sausage are among the most popular today, but there are myriad ways to make this Southern specialty.

Ground, dried sassafras leaves — called filé and long harvested by the Choctaw people — give many gumbo recipes a distinctive spice. Some cooks thicken their soup with a cooked flour paste called roux, while others swear by sautéed slices of okra.

Every possible version is on display each year at theWorld Champion Gumbo Cookoff in New Iberia, Louisiana, where cooks battle for some serious soup-master bragging rights.

Harira | Morocco

Moroccan harira uses chickpeas in a savory tomato broth to superb effect.

When the sun sets during the month of Ramadan, many Moroccans break their fasts with a hot bowl of this comforting chickpea stew. Cinnamon, ginger, turmeric and pepper lend warming spice to the savory tomato broth, which soaks into tender chickpeas. It's also widely enjoyed in Algeria.

While vegetarian recipes are popular, the most classic version is simmered with tender chunks of lamb or other meat. It's not just fasting fare for Muslims; some North African Jews also prepare harira to break the annual fast of Yom Kippur.

Kharcho | Georgia

A plum sauce gives kharcho its zesty flavor.

Tart plum sauce called tkemali adds bright, zesty flavor to this traditional soup, which is one of Georgia's most beloved dishes.

It's made with unripe plums, whose sour note balances the richness of fatty beef and ground walnuts cooked into the soup. The aromatic kick, though, comes from the spice mix khmeli suneli, a blend of coriander, savory, fenugreek, black pepper, marigold and more.

Lanzhou beef noodle soup | China

Of course a Chinese soup makes the best 20 list -- one taste of lanzhou beef noodle soup will tell you whyl

Shaping — or pulling — la mian noodles by hand for this traditional soup is an art in itself. Artisans use a finely milled, high-gluten flour and alkaline powder to mix a stretchy dough, then pull and fold a single piece of dough to make enough noodles for a bowl of soup.

Slip them into a bowl of beef broth for a world-class soup that includes tender beef, pale slices of radish, chili oil and fresh herbs. (At some shops, diners may even ask for noodles of a preferred thickness and shape.)

Mohinga | Myanmar

This version of mohinga features catfish, rice noodles, chicken eggs and lime.

Soup is what's for breakfast in much of Myanmar, where sidewalk vendors and tea shops hawk steaming bowls of mohinga out of enormous vats. The soul of this noodle soup is the aromatic broth, which is simmered with herbs and thickened with toasted rice powder.

Fish lends added richness, while the thin rice noodles are perfect for slurping. Mohinga is so beloved that it's gone from breakfast dish to anytime snack, and each region has its own twist on the classic soup.

Menudo | Mexico

Menudo is a traditional Mexican soup made with tripe and hominy. It's touted for its curative effects for hangovers.

Tripe simmered for hours in a piquant, garlicky broth is the ultimate Mexican hangover cure, but menudo goes far beyond morning-after remedies. It's a favorite at weddings and big occasions, too, when an enormous pot of the traditional soup can feed dozens of guests.

It's sheer comfort food, with kernels of hominy that get fresh bite from a garnish of raw onions, chiles and cilantro. Choose from one of two main varieties: Menudo rojo turns a deep red from chiles in the broth, while Sonoran-style Menudo blanco is a milder alternative.

Moqueca de camarão | Brazil

Shrimp floating in a coconut broth? Count us in for moqueca de camarão.

Palm oil and tomatoes tint coconut broth a warm, orangey red in this specialty from the Bahia region of Brazil, where locals eat steaming bowls on even the hottest days.

This soup's real draw is sweet, tender shrimp floating in the broth, however. Traditionally, moqueca de camarão is cooked in a handmade pot made from black clay and the sap of mangrove trees, then brought to the table in the same authentic vessel.

Soto ayam | Indonesia

This is chicken noodle soup with an indulgent Indonesian twist.

Chicken noodle soup may reach its culinary pinnacle in this piquant Indonesian dish. Spices such as fresh turmeric, star anise, cinnamon, lemongrass and lime leaves combine for deeply layered aroma and flavor, with the jammy yolks of soft-boiled eggs to add extra richness.

Every part of Indonesia has a local twist, and the soup is also beloved in Singapore, Malaysia and in faraway Suriname in South America, where the recipe arrived with Javanese immigrants.

Eat topped with fried shallots, fresh limes and a fiery scattering of sliced red chiles.

Tom yum goong | Thailand

Shiitake mushrooms and prawns are the stars of this version of tom yum soup.

Sweet, sour, spicy and salty, this soup's magnificent broth is the ideal foil for sweet, tender shrimp. Aromatic ingredients include galangal, lemongrass and lime leaves, while slivers of bright red bird's eye chilis add additional heat.

Tom yum goong is just one of many varieties of tom yum soup in Thailand — this version comes enriched with fat prawns, and is a favorite with many diners.

Tonkotsu ramen | Japan

This classic ramen soup is flavored with pork bones.

Long-simmered pork bones impart intense flavor to this classic ramen, whose broth is cloudy with marrow and fat. It's a signature of Fukuoka Prefecture on the southerly island of Kyushu, but the rich soup is now served in ramen shops across the country (and world).

While the indulgent broth is the star of tonkotsu ramen, a bowl isn't complete without slices of pork belly and a tangle of noodles that are hard in the center. Eat with a pair of chopsticks and a flat-bottomed spoon, and don't forget to slurp — it's believed to enhance the flavor.

Yayla çorbasi | Turkey

Yayla çorbasi speaks to a time when soup and medicine weren't considered such separate things.

Boiled rice or barley adds grainy sweetness to this creamy yogurt soup. It's believed to ward off colds during winter; some Turkish hospitals even serve yogurt soup to recovering patients.

A crumble of dried mint helps balance the yogurt's slight tang. Serve with a pillowy round of fresh pita bread.

Levels1:
Hello Mr writer , population wise you can't match Southwest,I hope you know?

Yeah true. Let us wait till 2023.

Bashir75:
Are you this sad and unhappy wit your life? How can you think one of the few regions that can stand on its own will suffer without FG appointment. We are more progressive when we don’t have FG appointments honestly. The whole of SW progressive policies was envied by PDP before 2015 and it became template for development, especially with Fashola. If Tinubu is inconsequential why are mentioning his name because we don’t SW love him as our son and we will not trade him for your Igbo sons. If you have few friends lying to you better rethink 2023.

How many times in the history of Nigeria have you seen SS/SE wins elections without Northern support? Yoruba has never been allowed to truly appoint a candidate or elected for Presidency in Nigeria, we only join them in 2015. Just for 8 years, you want enter Konga or hug transformer. We will be here by God’s grace in 2023.

Tinubu is not the reason you family is poor and impotent, your father should have work harder to give you a better life. Stop whining and barking like a dog, get a life. You cannot bury Tinubu, he has a creator just like you and if it’s God will, he will be President. You will be shocked when APC use Osinbajo/ El-Rufai Ticket and abandon crossover Ibos. Election is about winning. Then, Buhari as a candidate and with all his clout never win elections 3 times with Ibo as vice presidents until Yoruba alliance. You’re baby, go and suck milk.

Anything South West is a goner.

Itzurboi:
do you have the means to stay afloat when it happens...

South South feeds Nigeria including the South West. You South West and Northern people are pest to us. Look at the foolish question you are asking me.

You should have asked yourself does South West have the means to survive on their own? You think this favouritism of port and the rest will continue when this entity dies? You have nothing. No agric, no resources, nothing. Oh, you have education, hahaha. South South and South East PZ have education. So sorry.

Viknat:
ahha you wan kee Mee with laff o. Na west with their betrayal. And love for porridge like Esau go suffer am lass lass. D south/east we Don seal our place out of the nonsense

Don't mind them.

Itzurboi:
don't continue with this mentality, you should be concern about electing a better candidate who will care for the masses... I'm no supporter of tinubu presidential ambition.... your revenge plan will only sink the country further, use your head

So you think the South of the South and the East of the South gives a Bleep about Nigeria? We all want it to sink down the endless pit. We gives no Bleep about Nigeria.

Thank God we in down South of the South never voted for this man. I remember vividly well when Buhari was appointing just the South West people and Northerners around 2015 to 2019, the South Westerners clearly told the South South people and South East people to go and collect appointment from PDP. The South West joined the North to mock us.

Today, they are feeling the heat from all angles. I don't pity them and come 2023, we will give them the final burial to the fettered political reputation they have left. We will bury their man called Tinubu politically. Tinubu is even scared of the South South and South East people. His conscience is hunting him. He can't even visit the South South and South East. He knows he has no level down there and they are also after him just the way him and his people were after Goodluck then. He only hopes on the North. Come 2023, we will use the North to bury his fallen political career and make the South West a slave to the North finally. He who laugh last, laugh best.

Time to revenge what they did to Goodluck.

Onlinesmart:
That's the end of Hausa and fulani in SW,if they dare try it.

Mouth makers! You masters will try it and nothing you can do.

Oshigun:
Lol. You are not worth responding to. Clearly you have a deep hatred of the SW. There are realities your hate cannot change and that will continue to torture your soul.

2023, we will torment you guys more.

Paperwhite:
What an irony of life.Whatsoever goes around comes around.GEJ, Saraki, FFK all of them are mad.

Tinubu too is mad.

I just hope that your tribalism doesn't end you—

I am tribalistic but the Yorubas are more tribalistic. You can't fool people for long. You snakes.

[quote author=theFilmtric post=99182915]the day they try to establish RUGA in SW iss the day the governors will burn—we South westerners have been stupidly accommodating for a long time

Establish settlements for criminal citizens at the cost of hard working and law abiding citizens taxes??
The South won't hear any of it!
Any southern governor that establishes RUGA deserves to be burned to DEATH
These people take us for fools
I trust my SE brothers
