PoliticsRe: The North, Not The Niger Delta Is The Source Of Nigeria's Oil by Openbusiness:
Fash20:
This is just another crappy write up

Now here is an hint

The foundation is the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS 1982). It says that a country may claim an area extending 12 nautical miles from its coast as its own territorial sea. Additionally it can exploit 200 nautical miles of the water column beyond its coast as its exclusive economic zone. The same applies to the first 200 nautical miles of the sea floor, the continental shelf. The resources found there can be exploited by that country alone. And that is not all. If the country can scientifically prove that its continental shelf extends even further – that it is continuously geologically connected to the mainland – it also has the sole rights to the resources there as well. This territorial claim includes islands but not rocks or other outcroppings.


Now Do your research and disprove yourself
Oga you're very funny grin. See all these things you wrote, how does it relate or correlate? Does the North have any coast? Is there any part of the North that touches the ocean? grin If you want to put all this info forward at least they even have to have a link first to be qualified, for this info to be applicable. The North is land surrounded by land. They don't have any coast. So they can't claim any ocean, not even 1 inch of it. And if they can't claim any part of the ocean, how can they claim offshore oil deposits in the surrounding area? IMPOSSIBLE. The only thing they can even begin to lay claims to are the inland rivers that flow through their territory, like river Niger, benue etc. And even that, they don't own it because it flows through. If they block those channels with dams from their originating sources, there won't be a single inland river in the North, all you will have left are rocks and rain and borehole water

Ikengawo:
[s]It is only ignorance that allows most of what's being said in Nigeria to be said. The issue is the ignorance reaches the highest levels of government. Nigeria, of course, picks it's leadership from prisons (Obasanjo, TA Orji, Buhari) and various international criminal outfits like Tinubu with his Chicago heroine issues and Atiku with his bans from the US for embezzlement.

But one northern politician years ago said that the oil of the Niger Delta belongs to the North and we all, out of ignorance, protested.
Anyone that's ready to study, read, and look at the truth has to know; he's right.


1.The Niger Delta's oil doesn't come from the land of the states in the region, but it's access to the oil rich ocean.
2. Ocean property or ownership of the sea is determined by the landmass of a country. Big countries like the US and China have more ocean beyond it's shores than small ones like Denmark.
3. 70% of Nigeria's landmass comes from the North. It is the size of the North (geographically) that allows Nigeria to claim 70% of it's marine territory and this claim is what allows Nigeria to produce almost all of it's oil.
4. If Nigeria loses the north, it's access to oil will drop 50-70%
5. Even with the amount of oil Nigeria gets now, the Niger Delta is still abysmally poor... poorer than the North if you exclude the inland areas like Edo, the Asaba-Agbor axis, , forget the 'megaprojects' of Akwa Ibom illiteracy and poverty are almost exclusively focused in the North and 'South South' of Nigeria.

worst, investors are not interested in Nigeria's inland oil and nobody in the Niger Delta (minus Igbo, Ondo areas) knows how to refine oil, and investors what no business with Nigerian oil, especially Nigerian inland oil.
[/s]
Let me solve your problem. Divide Nigeria, and let the 70% of the landmass (which you claim belongs to the North by your magical calculation) stand alone, and let's see if you can claim just 1 inch of ocean territory in the South, let's see whether any part of the North touches the ocean at any point. All these arguments, conflicts, tribalism, hate etc everything ENDS when Nigeria breaks.

That's why I have said and will continue to say, break up is the only solution to Nigeria's internal problems. The biggest problem this country has is the map below. Break it to pieces and watch magic happen. Those that want prosperity and development will get it. Those that don't want, will get what they want. Everyone will be ok when this map is "destroyed"! This map as it is can only continue to destroy the destiny of hundreds of millions of people. We don't belong together, no matter how you look at it. This is not a case of hate or tribalism.

Break up doesn't mean I hate this person or hate that person. This is not a matter of language, or even humanity. We all (well most of us) can speak maybe pidgin or English , can't we? So things like anguage etc is not even the issue. The issue is COMPATIBILITY. We are not compatible. What we have been doing as a geographic space for over 100 years now is trying to fit square pegs in round holes and triangular pegs in hexagonal holes. It didn't work then, it is not working now and it will never work. We have wasted the last century, imagine more than 100 years wasted for nothing.

Time is the most valuable resource in this entire world and we just threw away about 100 years. How many more centuries are we going to waste and how many tens of millions of people have to die by civil war again before we accept the truth. We don't have to kill ourselves before we separate. We can separate peacefully. This is what modern civilization is about. Humanity has gone past that way of barbarism where we have to kill ourselves by the millions before we have sense.

Restructuring will never work. Break up is the solution. Assuming we have broken up now, can you write any of this thing that you wrote? The North has land, has rivers, has mineral resources. The south has land, has the ocean and has mineral resources. So everyone has something. Even the south can not remain one. It will break into many pieces, as many as is necessary for people to be free, people to have self-determination to take their own destiny into their hands, and as many as it takes to have peace.

For example, the Southwest can't stay as one. There will be problem and conflict and killings. Some want an Islamic caliphate like their Northern counterparts. So for me, like ten Southwest needs to be broken into 3 countries; Atlantic for Christians, O'dua for Pagans and MURIC for Muslims. Then everyone can do whatever they like in their one country without issues. Nobody will say anyone is imposing or blocking their religion, and nobody will use their ideology to enslave another. The same idea applies to other regions in the South as well as the entire North.

Bro so many celebrities are their ambassadors
Don't you know that's what the big scammers are doing now? Scammers with money. They pay all these 9ja popular IG handles, especially comedians, to advertise them. Some even go as far as signing them up as "ambassadors" etc, so that their followers will think they are legit. Some of these so called IG comedians, influencers etc too are also doing part-time scamming and working with those crypo guys. All na scam. Even Nairaland that says in its rules list #16 (Don't promote cryptocurrencies) has started running crypto adverts. That's the power of money for you.

cdm4live:
I always like them to show interest before I approach. So I don't see a girl in the street and walk to her. Or maybe I didn't answer your question rightly. But when I see a girl, my mind has always been trying to end her in my bed.
What I mean is, like how your viewpoint of a female is. Do you view girls as angels, untouchables, demigods, emperors, queens etc, I mean like something higher than you? If you do, you will have issues communicating properly because you will feel fear, intimidation, panick, uncoordination etc, you will feel the need to impress and worst of all, you won't be yourself. You will be playing another character different from your default. And this won't help you, you will fumble in the process. So to communicate well, you have to see women the same way you see your fellow men: she's just another human being. So you can feel free, be yourself and talk to her like you would talk to any of your guys. No matter how perfect, rich, handsome etc you are, you can't date every girl and not every girl will like you. So just be yourself and the girl that likes you will like you, and the girl that finds you interesting will flow with you and the one that doesn't won't, no big deal. So just have that in your mind and be free. There's a saying that there is someone for everybody. Just be yourself and keep improving yourself. It is personal improvement and development that is the key to sustaining attraction at certain stages. Fine boy, or sweet mouth won't work all the time.

RomanceRe: The Redpill Doesn't Always Work. I Rarely Works On Smart Women. by Openbusiness:
streetwise2015:
What advice would u give to a new redpiller about how to treat women ?
Treat a woman the way she is. You have to be a mirror and let your communication mirror her the way she is. Her disposition is her language, so you have to speak a according to the "language" she understands. If she's speaking one language and you're speaking another, then you won't connect with her.

So basically, If she's a hoe, treat her like a hoe; if she's a normal decent girl, treat her like a normal decent girl; if she's a hoelosho, treat her like that etc. The kind of person or personality or mindset that she has is one of the earliest things you watch out for and pay attention to. She will always leave clues and hints.

Your job is to pick up those hints and decipher her and decode the kind of person she really is before you workout your game plan to make a connection. If you treat a slut like a normal girl = connection fail. If you treat a normal decent girl like a hoelosho = connection fail. If you treat a hoelosho like a slut = connection fail etc! "Treat" = communication = how you relate with her etc. Some girls code themselves but they will leave hints as to their real or true disposition no matter what.

You see some girls on social media, they code themselves to appear like normal decent girls, you will see them dropping motivational quotes, Bible verses, Muslim attire etc, but when they describe themselves you see things like "straight to the point" = hint, or "fun to be with" = hint, some leave hints with their appearance, or fashion style, some leave hints with their main point of discussion, like I can't date a broke guy oh = hint; he must be loaded = hint; he has to spoil me = hint. So you merge all the clues and hints you can find to know who you're dealing with and then deal with her accordingly.

For example, look at that girl Zzor.... BLW = coding, but profile pic always showing off curves and ass = hint, her main focus of discussion = money, money, money, rich guy, i hate broke guys, I want a billionaire etc = hint. Put that puzzle together = hoeleosho type = pay as you go type. They are all about money, that's the language they speak and that's how you can connect.

If you like, drop all the cheesiest pickup lines, it won't work = connection fail. If you like drop intellect, talk science, politics, entertainment etc = connection fail. But when you talk money, and talk gifts and talk cruising and spoiling with cash and talk shopping spree or Dubai holiday getaway, forget about all that good girl virgin cock&bull bs she keeps fronting with to code here, she will spread her legs for you like a TV antenna. Na normal level be that. You will connect. But if you want to be dropping gist and preaching I love you, you're fine, yen yen yen language without speaking the money language she understands, then that's you below. This is my red pill nugget to you!

RomanceRe: The Redpill Doesn't Always Work. I Rarely Works On Smart Women. by Openbusiness: 7:38pm On Oct 06, 2020
For the sake of those that might be confused, let me explain in plain simple terms that I think will be easy for everyone to grasp.
Red pill = woke ( = alternate reality that puts you in the advantage position)
Blue pill = status quo

The red pill / blue pill contrast is not just applicable to romance alone but life in general. You can be an alpha male and not a red piller. Being an alpha doesn't automatically mean you're woke. You can be an alpha male blue piller, that is the kind of alpha that will be the head in a relationship but will give her breakfast in bed etc. To his girlfriend or wife, he's the boss no doubt, the alpha male character has already pinned that down on the wall permanently, but giving her breakfast in bed is her alpha's way of being romantic etc. But the reality is, that's the blue pill at work, the society's mainstrean status quo that giving your woman breakfast in bed is romantic etc. But an alpha male red piller is woke and won't do that "nonsense", (quote and unquote), he won't follow mainstream ideology of romance ( = status quo = blue pill). Instead of giving breakfast in bed, the alpha male red piller will RECEIVE breakfast in bed, that's his own alternate reality about the idea of romance giving him the advantage of being catered for, and then his alpha male character reinforces this with his woman and she sees it as being a romantic pleasure she gives to him to please him and she's happy doing it, giving her man breakfast in bed etc.... There's a lot to write on these things but that's not why I'm on Nairaland, so may I juz mind ma business and be a spectator. You guys can continue please, per the intelligent contributors of this thread like glycolissis, frugal and the rest etc. I enjoy reading your perspectives.
RomanceRe: The Redpill Doesn't Always Work. I Rarely Works On Smart Women. by Openbusiness: 7:01pm On Oct 06, 2020
The point I'm making is that if you want a serious relationship with a smart woman, don't take the redpill seriously.
Rainbowpill, smartness or intelligence etc is relative. The girl that is smart to you, might be a dullard to me. Because when you say smart, you are comparing relatively with someone or something else, or standard assessment like maybe having a certain qualification or accomplishment etc. And all that is directly measurable. This can be categorized under being book smart. You can measure this kind of inteligence directly through aptitude tests, exams, certificates etc. But then, you have other forms of smartness like street smart, life (or experience) smart, business smart, social smart etc, and then a person can be intelligent in one area or aspect, and ignorant in another aspect. So then when you use the word smart in the generic context, then it means we are looking at it averagely with all these different smart categorizations in place. We are looking at it from the overall perspective. Look at Nairaland, for example, some of the current clout-chasing attention seeker girls in romance section are "smart" to some people relative on their own level of intelligence and exposure. But relatively to my own thinking and exposure (and other people like me), these girls are extremely low IQ females. So as you can see, smartness is relative. So you can't generalize and say red pill won't work on a smart girl just because you think you tried something and it failed, but the fact is this same girl you are calling smart relative to yourself, might just be a dullard to another person. So your theory is therefore INVALID!
RomanceRe: The Redpill Doesn't Always Work. I Rarely Works On Smart Women. by Openbusiness: 6:38pm On Oct 06, 2020
So many people misunderstand the concept or idea or fact or characteristics interpretation about being a red piller, alpha male, simp etc and mixed things up and confuse themselves. From this post, OP, let me tell you didn't take the red pill, you thought you did but reading through your discussion, you really didn't. You are a blue piller.
