There are 2 types of slaves, the ones fighting for their freedom n the ones that are content with their enslavement.

Hmn! My brother sorry if my comment is not very thorough and I may have been short sighted with my comment and your post I will not bother verifying because am not good with history really. But we both agree that true federalism is what we need the most to move this country forward right?. That's why country like US is progressing we claim to copy US democracy but turning blind eyes to true federalism. see US produces more oil than Nigeria in Taxas but they are into many and virtually everything.......and the non oil producing states are into so many other things and surviving on their own like the oil matter less to them.
Not practicing true federalism is hiding talents in Nigeria and making our economy streamlined instead of diversified.

So you mean when Awolowo was under Gowon's desk it was only his hand that he was exercising? Not power?

mezzyg:
i have checked all the yorubas achievement but its only first they can boast of and not a single innovation/discovery compared to the Jews in nigeria known as the Biafra people who are stunning the world with their innovations and creativity. By now you should know that records shows that 90% of world discovery/innovations are by Jews and that igbo people are jews; you cannot beat them in creativity, innovation and achievements.

Chiaka:
My main issue is that yorubas are always aiding the north to be in power as long as this continues, we can hardly achieve true federalism, north likes to grab power in order to maintain the current imbalance and injustice in the system and this move continues to drag the country backward and not forward. Most times I wonder why the yorubas continue to do this, sometimes I thinks its for some short term benefit which will neither profit them in the long run nor other tribes which I also see as a selfish move which keeps us far away from realising a true federalism, with true federalism even the north will move from a solely dependent and power hungry region to a self actualising one.

Chiaka:
Happy about all these achievements by Yorubas also. Nigeria needs true Federalism some people are slowing down others. If we practice true federalism no one will be Para siting on another and everyone will be serious to develop on something.

oluwalfa:
This is about mgbati people. Be proud of your general.

I am proud of Ojukwu for not allowing himself to be used for Sallah ram like Abiola or Gani or all the other jelly-legged cowards that yorubaland produced.

zendy:
At least Ojukwu was fighting for the liberation his people unlike Awolowo who opted to become "boy-boy" to Gowon who was young enough to be his son, and in the process, sold the Yoruba nation to the Nothern oligarchy

Lagos – Mr Ayo Olumoko, the organiser of Osun Osogbo Festival on Tuesday said plans were underway to list it on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).
Olumoko said this while addressing newsmen during the unveiling of the 2015 edition of the festival in Lagos.

According to him, the decision to list the festival on the NSE is to give it an additional recognition and boost its potential.

“Osun Osogbo Festival is globally recognised; therefore, there is need for its inclusion and recognition by the NSE.

“The festival has been recognised by UNESCO due to its long years of celebration, cultural relevance and also for attracting influx of tourists.
“It is the most consistent festival in the country having been celebrated every year for more than 600 years,” Olumoko said.

He said that the festival had helped to boost the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of Osun State, adding that it had also contributed to the nation’s economy through tourism.

Earlier, the Ataoja of Osogboland, Oba Oyetunji Olanipekun: Larooye II, promised all visitors and tourists a thrilling experience.

According to him, lots of traditional games have been prepared for visitors to make their trip to Osun Osogbo, a worthwhile one.

Olanipekun, represented by the Otun-Ese of Osogboland, Chief Adeyemo Aremu, also assured indegenes, intending tourists and guests of adequate security during the festival.(NAN)

Captainswag225:
its the total truth, biafra would have colonized niger delta by now

shachris02:
I learnt something today that really shocked me. do you know that there are only 2 lawmakers from SE in HOR and they are both new members.

let's say APC even want to zone a position to the East, do you know that it can't be possible? because new members cannot take leadership positions.

So who marginalized who? I keep saying that my people do not know How to play politics.

dustmalik:
Boarding Nigerian trains, as far as I'm concerned, is as good as going on a suicide mission.

shachris02:
I just watched the clip.

What I can deduce from what buhari is saying is this;

POLITICS IS BUSINESS.

It should be about the people first But you can never rule out the business sides of politics.

You Don't give Nothing and expect everything.... politics is capitalist.

You Don't stand in the sun, get beaten, get abused, some even get killed for their candidates; and when this candidate wins, you expect him not to appreciate you and your region in a more special way than people that abused him, stoned him, and even threatened to kill him.

C'mon now we are all humans.

The naked truth is, There is no way buhari would not favour those that put their lives and limbs at risk to make sure he succeeds.

My one cent.

backtosender:
so tell us what oyo and ondo contribute to deserve more allocation?if your region contribute much why do u have higher rate of poverty than eastern region?why do osun people queue up for food like almajiris?accept the truth i no shame will not let you we no nigerians specially SW and North dont like the truth anyway...Hey live with your delusion

Nigeria exports $10bn raw cocoa annually

Olusegun Aganga, the minister of industry, trade and investment, has disclosed that the total value of exporting raw cocoa from Nigeria is approximately $10 billion a year.

He reiterated the commitment of the country to expand the commodity’s production for additional foreign earnings.

Aganga, who said this at the just concluded cocoa summit 2014 in Abuja, noted that with the planned repositioning efforts of the present administration, the country would extract immense value out of the cocoa industry.

According to him, the Federal Government would not relent in the implementation of expansion projects for cocoa processing and manufacturing in the country to claim a greater share of the annual $200 billion global market for finished goods made from cocoa.

“The total global value of exporting raw cocoa is approximately $10 billion a year; the total value from chocolates alone, all made from cocoa, is over $100 billion a year, while the total value of all finished goods made from cocoa is estimated to be as high as $200 billion a year, all drawing from the same $10 billion raw cocoa beans produced.

“With the situation today, about 76 percent of total cocoa produced is from Africa, but less than five percent of the wealth in the value chain is retained here. After many decades of dominating cocoa production, it is worrying that we still remain price takers, and capture so little value. This is not right, and this is what we have set out to change”, he said.

Aganga said with the expansion of cocoa processing and manufacturing capacity, government was set to retain more of the value of the cocoa industry in Nigeria, create jobs and wealth for citizens and generate income for government.
