WombRaiders:
Sharp!

Sophisticated bullsh1tters.

You are so sophisticated you have a drug dealer as your defacto political head.

We see your sophistication to the point your intelligent governors still rely on our oil to run their parasitic states.

Your dependence on our resources is so much that your governors borrowed in lieu of receipts from our oil.

WombRaiders:
I am from the SouthSouth and from Delta and not of Igbo extraction.

We are not stup1d to easily forget how Yorubas insulted us by ridiculing Jonathan as a common drunken fisherman.

We also are aware of how they sided with the north in the recently concluded Soverign National Confrence to frustrate our aggigtation for resource control.

We also know how Awolowo mandated all oil companies to have their corporate H Q in Lagos and how the Yorubas keep frustrating any attempt to develop a port outside their region.


(Awolowo was never the president of this country)

We have also not forgotten how a Yoruba man sold Bakassi to France and our deep oil wells to Sao Tome from where he now owns a drilling company.

(Fool) the south south has senators and Govs in obasanjo's gov. We can't forget the Mama bakkasi was a seating senator then.... Oh she was busy nacking chidi in VGC.

We are not all Amaechi's in the ND.

Nobody is asking u to be rotimi Ameachi but sincerly I will advice u pray to be as succesful as him. A son of a stove abi bicycle repairer according to Fani kayode graduated with a 3rd class (according to u pple in south) rose from nothing to become the Gov of Rivers ( oiye rich state) o boy choose ur role model!

The Yoruba most understand that the average ND man is busy looking for his livelihood and will not bother with cheap political alignment until it matters and the last 16 yrs climaxing with the recently concluded elections ought to be a pointer that we in the ND do not share your political affiliations, views and aspirations.



When last did you hear of any ND state voting in AC, ACN , AD or your useless APC?

The overwhelming support GEJ and PDP got should be a pointer to you.

I guess this is why Rivers election tribunal is so important to you osogbo louts than your impoverished state.

No matter your plots to subvert Wike's unequivocal mandate given to him by the People you can never ever plant your witch broom in Rivers or any where in the ND.

Now go and shout Sai Baba.

“I remember in 1985 in Africa Hall that he
was for confirmation of Dr Peter Onu of
Nigeria, who was acting Secretary General
but Nigeria’s Head of State Gen
Muhammadu Buhary was adamant in his
support of Niger’s candidate, Idi Omaro, a
Fulani Muslim. In a meeting, a handful of
Presidents led by Nyerere met with Gen
Buhary and Nwalimu begged him: ‘Please
give us Peter!’ Buhary refused and forgot
even to be courteous to his old peers.
What was astonishing, when the vote was
in favour of Niger’s candidate, the
Nigerian Head rejoiced to such a degree
that he was unable to control his
emotions. That was a moment I witnessed
and was convinced that General Buhary
would not last long as a leader.” – The
OAU: Reality Or Fiction by Ibrahim
Daggash, former Head of Information and
Communication, Organization of African
Unity (OAU); pg 69; ISBN
1-9044722-25-3 It is unheard-of in
history that a self-respecting leader of a
country would vote against his country’s
candidate in international diplomacy. But
here, you have it in black and white, in a
book, that former Head of State General
Muhammadu Buhari would rather have a
Fulani Muslim candidate from Niger
instead of Nigeria’s own esteemed Dr.
Peter Onu. Not even the highly revered
then President of Tanzania, Julius Nyerere
could make Buhari to change his mind.
This kind of bizarre shamelessness is why
Nigeria is the laughing stock of the
civilized world. It is unthinkable that any
leader, anywhere would insult his own
country by backing an opponent from
another country. The crude tragedy here
is that it was the selfsame Buhari who
made this patriotic statement: “This
generation of Nigerians and indeed future
generations have no other country than
Nigeria. We must stay here to salvage it
together.” How would the late Peter Onu
have faith in Nigeria when he could not
get the support of his country’s leader? It
is as though the so-called leader was
more interested in the ethnicity and
religion of Peter Onu’s opponent from
Niger than any bonds of citizenship with
his Nigerian compatriot. Cry, the beloved
country, as Alan Paton entitled his sad
book. Attaining the great post of
Secretary-General of the then OAU was a
task most African countries gave their all
in raising their diplomatic stakes. In Peter
Onu’s case, he even had the other African
countries rooting for him because of his
undoubted competence only to be
abandoned by the very man at the helm of
affairs in his own country. Indeed Chinua
Achebe was spot-on when he stated that
the trouble with Nigeria stood on
leadership in his classic little book The
Trouble With Nigeria. A leader that cannot
support his countrymen and women can
only be aid to be worse than useless. [/b]

BuddahMonk:
Last week a post made by Interpid was busted where he was claiming Southerner not knowing he made a post in the past declaring himself as a Westerner.

Now we have plethora of other SS wannabes of the Yoruba stock defending Southerners from Biafra overtly or covertly.



This is a recent post made by a Yoruba defending Southerners from joining Biafra


My questions are these.

1. If Yorubas actually love SS Obasanjo wouldn't have massacred protesting Odi people.

2. If Yorubas had love Southerners, why do they always go against resource control?

3. If Yorubas actually love SSners while do they go against 95% derivation ?

4 If Yorubas actually love SSners why did they orchestrated the hate campaign against Asari Dokubo and call Ijaw Fishermen.

5. If Yorubas actually love SSners while are they the most vocal tribe against the emergence of a SSner as a principal officer in the 8 assembly when a Northerner was saying SSners deserve some offices ?

6. If they had love the SSners like we are made to believe, would they have galvanized the machinery of propaganda that turn Jonathan to enemy of Nigeria overnight.

7. Why didn't Yorubas vote for Jonathan to make sure that a SSner they love and cherish so much remains the presidency instead of selling out to the Fulani when the South is finding its footing on political unity.

I came across the below thread:

https://www.nairaland.com/2418994/ranking-nigerian-states-poverty-rates

And was amused by how quick people are to rejoice over what is presented to them, without thinking clearly about the stipulations.

oponu, which zone does lagos belong to

The D***ck measuring contest between the SW and SE was even more amusing, when the truth is that....

SE and SW viritually have the same poverty rate!!!!!!

Let's go over the rates for each state, zooming into the SW and SE specifically. I have excluded border states of Kwara, Kogi and Delta (which are designated as North central and South South, and honestly do not deviate much from what we see in the list). I also excluded Lagos, which is a multicultural bed of different groups and not representative of the strength of each region.

Okay then:

SW
2. Osun 10.90%
4. Ekiti 12.90%
12. Ogun 26.10%
14. Ondo 27.90%
17. Oyo 29.40%


SE

3. Anambra 11.20%
6. Imo 19.80%
7. Abia 21.00%
15. Enugu 28.80%
21. Ebonyi 56.00%


My thoughts....

Osun is only marginally less poor than Anambra (11.2-10.9=.03% difference).

Other SE states and SW states occupy the top lists in equal succession. Look again folks!

The only exception to this is Ebonyi which has a poverty rate comparable to the North. Abysmal, but still....


If you take the simple average of all the states' poverty rate for each region but disregard their populations (which looks like what the OP did in his original thread) you would think that the SW is the least poor. This is just because of the drag that we see in Ebonyi.

HOWEVER.

A weighed average of all the states (taking into account their populations) is a better representative of the poverty rate for each region going by this list. Ebonyi is the least populated state in the SE. Discount Lagos which is a multicultural city and you will see that the SW and SE actually may have similar poverty rates.

I recalculated the poverty rate taking account the populations of all the states. I am basing this on the 2006 census as we don't have any other indicators to go by. If there are more recent numbers I am still certain that calculating the results would yield around the same conclusions.


The real calculations:

SW Population Poverty Rate Population in Poverty
2. Osun 3,423,535.00 10.90% 373,165.32
4. Ekiti 2,384,212.00 12.90% 307,563.35
12. Ogun 3,728,098.00 26.10% 973,033.58
14. Ondo 3,441,024.00 27.90% 960,045.70
17. Oyo 5,591,589.00 29.40% 1,643,927.17
Total 18,568,458.00 4,257,735.10
Poverty rate of SW (4,257,735/18,568,458) 23%

SE Population Poverty Rate Population in Poverty
3. Anambra 4,182,032.00 11.20% 468,387.58
6. Imo 3,934,899.00 19.80% 779,110.00
7. Abia 2,833,999.00 21.00% 595,139.79
15. Enugu 3,257,298.00 28.80% 938,101.82
21. Ebonyi 2,173,501.00 56.00% 1,217,160.56
16,381,729.00 3,997,899.76
Poverty rate of SE (3,997,900/16,381,729) 24%

Now....can these two regions finally shut da feck up and worry about the myriad of problems facing the entire country??

owobokiri:
The amnesty programme is/was not funded with receipts from cocoa exports or the groundnut pyramids. . . I just felt I should let you know.

omolami:
It the appointment of Jega as Efcc Chairman is true, then I now believe that Buhari is a complete dunce and may continue to goof throughout his tenure. EFCC Chairman is never suppose to be a political appointment, rather for the professionals only. Jega a professor is not trained to investigate crimes, how come he is appointed Efcc Chairman. A square peg in a round hole indeed. Someone should plse tell Buhari to seek advice in order not to be goofing everytime. This is a big shame if it is true.

dearpreye:
Is this supposed to be news? He's supposed to have moved in there since May 29th!

Well, at last we can rest.

pinkguy:
We now know why Christian vice president Yemi Osinbajo was not allow into the security meetings is buhari trying to wipe away Christian major area of this country I'm sure the is hide agenda of this administration trying to locate nuclear plant in south and middle belt and current bombing of peaceful cross river and Akwa ibom creek if the is militant there why did we heard of them for long because the would have being fighting camaroon because of bakassi penuular but we have not hear of these since most akwa-cross were kill and send away from bakassi plS the calabar militant attack of police station is a pure set-up and propaganda, how come militant will attack a police station today the next day the nigeria air force will send their fighter jet to bomb their camp? How come we have not heard of these militant attack all these while? http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/185423-nigeria-conducts-drills-to-counter-nuclear-disaster.html?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter

Homage roll call.

Acknowledge your boss.

Tinubu is in trouble, every one is ganging up on him. Seems obj is about to annoint Saraki leader of the Yorubas.

abah009:
Recently, our crude oil was refined in Obasanjo and Atikus refineries,abroad.Now that the new Government is working in top gear to put these refineries in operation, the three self centered elements. Atiku, Abdulsalam and Obj, are working selfishly with Mr. Saraki to frustrate the effort of the new Government in reviving our refineries.In their secret meeting, they concluded that, if the government should succeed in reviving the refineries, they will lose huge hard currencies.This is top secret but God will not allow them. Please, Admin move this to front page.

firstEVA:
how is that?

Biafra1000:
Rubbish post from a paid igbo man


I am BIAFRA,

DankemzI:
I see a war coming
Have you listened to that song by Eva? If you don't please do!

Buhari approved a Yoruba man to Bomb Calabar We are watching!
Just like Obasanjo wiped out a community in Bayelsa we are watching
Calabar now is more terrorized than the Northeast as a whole? We are watching!!

F.G wants to site a nuclear plant in Itu in Akwa Ibom Why don't they site a refinery? Site a sea port? Site factory?
Ok na Nuclear plant na Southside surepass nko ntoro
I bet if it was a good facility that will boost the local economy or employ locals. It would have been sited in Lagos or Kaduna then the raw materials piped or transferred from South South!

Dogo Yaro we are enlightened and exposed unlike Briafran time that we fought our brothers, now we'll join forces and declare all out war on Nigeria watch out
Alliance you're forming with G7 you think that blocked will work again MBA
Russians and the East are eyeing us!
