Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic and Luxembourg are all landlocked.
Is there any of them that Nigeria is up to 1/1000th of their standard?

OK, let's bring it home.

Anambra state is landlocked in Nigeria but is there any state apart from Lagos that is up to her standard?

What builds a working society/country is not what nature brings to you but how well you are able to manipulate what is around you to your benefit.

Is Bayelsa not surrounded by ocean and crude oil?
Is she not the poorest state in Southern Nigeria?
Is she not currently bankrupt?
Is she not the state with the highest number of malnourished children in Nigeria?

Captain8, Kinematics, giftibo and the other crew members please come and explain to these people with your experience as backward Bayelsans that access to sea and natural resources is not what is needed for progress but brains which you Ijaw people lack (no offence by the way)

Bayelsa state is a living and visible proof that access to sea and natural resources doesn't build a working state but brains.

In terms of Human Development Index (HDI), GDP, Yearly Budgets and IGR, many States are ahead of Anambra sir.

Bakassi Peninsula was sold by General Yakubu Gowon to Cameroon in 1968. Yes, Yakubu Gowon in August 1968, had been requested by Ahmadu Ahidjo, the then President of Cameroon to sell part of Nigeria, especially the Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon as the condition for supporting Nigeria to win the civil war against Biafra. Recall that before then, Bakassi was used as the outlet to the Atlantic to bring in food to the Easterners. The then Finance Minister, the very Obafemi Awolowo had asked Gowon: how long do you continue to feed your enemies?

Rattled by the question, Gowon, Murtala Mohammed, Olusegun Obasanjo, Martin Adamu, Theophilus Danjuma, Hassan Katsina with the tacit approval of Sultan Mohammed II and Ado Bayero, the Emir of Kano swung into action. Gowon wanting to score a point did not even discuss this with the then Supreme Military Counsel, though they quietly approved of it.

He contacted Alhamadu Ahidjo, and the Meeting was scheduled in Marua Town of Southern Cameroon in August 1968, that day Gowon, using stone, standing on Cameroon side “threw a stone” saying that wherever the stone landed should be given to Cameroun, west ward to the Peninsula. The stone landed at the very point of entry of the Peninsula called Reo Del Ree.

Hence, General Yakubu Gowon, on the advice of Obafemi Awolowo, used a stone to sell Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon. Others is history.

You people like propaganda like the ways bees like nectar.

The Anglo-German agreement of 1913 drew the boundaries between Nigeria and Cameroon. This agreement placed Bakassi on Cameroonian side.
The Agreement wasn't fully enforced when German was defeated in the WW-1 which happened between 1914-1918 following which Germany was striped of her colonies in Africa (including Togo, Cameroon, Namibia). The victorious powers (UK and France) simply shared the colonies of Germany among themselves.

In 1995, Cameroon took Nigeria to court to take possession of Bakassi based on the boundaries agreement of 1913 and the court ruled in their favour in 2006.

Stop sharing details of your deranged fantasy to me bro.

An estimated 200,000 soldiers of the Nigerian Army fought during the civil war, most of whom were youngmen between the ages of 18-30 years. These were young men with high testoterone, already used to sex , taking away from their families to fight in the war.
The FG made provisions for their feedings, shelter, weapons and healthcare but made no provisions for their sexual needs.

Who did these soldiers sleep with during the 30 month period of the war? It will be very naive to assume that they observed sexual abstinence during this period.

The truth of the matter is that these soldiers slept with women in the areas of their operations and these inevitably led to pregnancies in some cases.

It's a known fact that during wars, the soldiers sleep with the women they see around especially in conquered territories and some girls/women deliberately provide sexual services for the soldiers in exchange for certain favours like protection, getting a pass to travel to some areas to see their loved ones or getting access to food and some relief materials.

It's an unpalatable fact that we may not like to discuss but it happens.



So many bad things happen during wars, so we should always pray not to witness another war.

SlayerForever:
Stop sharing details of your deranged fantasy to me bro.

It's reality, not fantasy.

Ask people who fought in the war, they will tell you the naked truth (sometimes unpleasant truths) if they want to be sincere.


I know an Igbo man (my late dad's acquittance) who told me so many things that happened on the war fronts.

If DNA tests were to be conducted on some people who were born between 1967-1970 in the S/East, you will be surprised about their paternity.

lol ... i rmba gej dualised the ibadan lagos Otta road for a start (since we are talking roads as achievements)The so called railway projects you named were a CONTINUATION and had already been awarded by Gej. The massive expansion of MM1 etc to mention a few. Look you can tell this to non political savy people. I still remember history. Now the gej govt wasn't the best but collectively the economy was far better and atleast there was some progress for the common man. Any person still justifying buharis govt isn't worth arguing with. That's delusion at its peak with all the nepotism and retrogression he's brought us....... it may take another 20years to fix.

Get these facts rightly bro;

1) There is no such road as Ibadan-Otta road.

2) As at Jan,2015 on the eve of a presidential election, GEJ ought to point (with pride) to the infrastructure he constructed in the S/West to win votes and not just ramblings that 'he had signed this and that' as an incumbent president since May,2010.

3) Buhari wasn't the president then, so his achievements or lack of it weren't what were being tested.

4) What percentage of the voting populace use MMA? Most of the people who use the airport don't even come out to vote on election days. They will be watching DSTV in their air-conditioned apartments in Ikoyi or following things online.

If you doubt me, compare and contrast the numbers of total votes cast in Banana Island/VGC Vs Ajegunle/Iwaya.


5) When Jonathan saw the hand-writings on the wall, the election was postponed and he relocated to the S/West with millions of dollars which he was sharing from palaces of traditional rulers to churches.

6) President Jonathan started with enormous good will but he didn't prepare well for the office ,hence he didn't achieved much as he ought to.

cheruv:
If they've truly conquered the peninsula, then it's a good thing... But expanding from there takes a good strategist!
The state Cross River has a population that's majority pro Biafra, also not densely populated, so with a series of tactical manoeuvres, the Nigerian army in the state can be decisively beaten and all the territories East of the River Cross occupied.
With the occupation of the territories sandwiched between the River and the Ambazonian/Cameroonian border, the invading army can rest and regroup for further offensives West across the River into AK, Abia and Ebonyi states.

Have you planted enough crops to feed your people and made adequate plans for the supplies of medicines in case another blockage is effected ,so you won't be accussing your opponents of not feeding you during the war?

What surprises me sometimes about this whole thing is that before now no such thing exists. Massob didn't get to this. BZM despite being very aggressive didn't get to this. But suddenly there are so many of these groups. What changed really?


In this pix you can see some female fighters.

Increased wave of nationalism and cries for secession made the difference.


During the civil war, Ojukwu recruited,trained and deployed Children and girls to the war front as Biafran soldiers. Sadly, in the heat of battles, many of them lost their lives.

The lucky girl- soldiers are quick to offer sex to the Federal troops in exchange for sparing their lives (they often scream 'please don't shoot me, just fuuuck me, don't kill me abeg').

In this way, many Federal troops (mostly Agatu,Fulani, Tiv and some Yoruba ex-prisoners that were conscripted into the Army from Ikoyi Prison) sired many children between 1967-1970.

love your tribe only

Man-woman problems transcend tribe.
All the things that can cause problems in marriages/ relastionships can be grouped under three headings;

1) Sex and things relating to sex: including infidelity, inadequate sex or lack of sexual satisfaction.

2) Money and what money can buy.

3) Problems of Communications.



All these problems can occur among any pair of couple.


There are people who not only marry from their tribes but from their villages and the marriage still crash.

Just move on and have other kids with another responsible man u saw all the signs of who ffk was before deciding to jump into his life because of money ffk have now joined the ruling party so ur fight with him will definitely be almost impossible to win now.

Precious Chikwendu should have publicly declared for the APC latest by May,2021 beating FFK in joining the party.
With the help of APC bigwigs, she could have gotten better powers to fight FFK.

emmykk:
Hahahahaha so when Southern Governors agreed did they inform you that southwest that have produce Obasanjo with produces TINUBU why they watch.

My dear the yoruba didn't plant but harvested when Obasanjo was voted by other tribe and the yoruba fail to vote him.

APC has already reward yoruba handsomely with VP and Speaker so you should not be talking of reaping a presidency because you work.Your betrayal have already been paid for.
I understand you know the truth but seems Tinubu is popular enough to be president.
Don't worry God willing 2023 will know who are president is.

Are you a delegate to the APC presidential primaries?

...Then you shud know smartness isn't wisdom , Eyes are watching you guys
Firstly , You don't consider igbos your brother when u have ruled before and you think north will consider you. When you stood by a northerner against an innocent nigerdelta in 2015 History reading fulanis believed you are cunny ( smart) not wise and they are patiently waiting !
Smartness isn't wisdom but the wisdom of a fool who lacks history humanity and knowledge
Secondly ,You know you stand no chance against an innocent son of the nigerdelta ( Your fellow southerner) but with north you can get something ,then you stood behind a known terrorist (You know he is a terrorist) against a nigerdelta son so u can get it all.
Now igbos anticipate doing same u did in 2015 and you are shouting take a ticket from PDP when u know the census was rigged to North's favour( which made you betray nigerdelta)
Smartness is a grossly selfish anti-wisdom
Thirdly , You refuses to criticize ever historic fulanis the black Arabs who uses history as kolanut ,they kill but u don't fight them .So that those who fight them you shall blackmail at the long run.
No one knows tomorrow but Oduduwa republic will be ruled by Fulanis,igbos and nigerdelta...dis I have seen

In a presidential election, most people vote for a candidate because of certain interests and these interests varies from one voters to another.

For ordinary citizen like you, who don't benefit anything from Government, your interest may be limited to seeing your tribal man in Aso-Rock or prevent a candidate you think worked against your tribal man in the past.

For many other voters, their Interests may be far more than this tribal sentiments. For instance, some people will vote for APC because they are beneficiaries of N-POWER or because they think that the chances of their town's man becoming a Governor on the platform of APC is brighter if APC win the presidential election.

mrvitalis:
My view is inconsequential ...my view is based on the fact that no matter what an igbo man does ...be loyal like kalu ,rochas ,and Joe igbokwe you can never get trusted in Nigeria


It's Igbo turn when not back those igbos that have been loyal so that people like me can have a rethink ?

How do you back a candidate that is not in the race or only in the race on paper?

Even Yahayah Bello is making greater moves than all Igbo politicians combined.

mp3ree:
The east has always been loyal to PDP so it's only fair since APC will zone it to South West , PDP Should zone to the east

They will give you 1001 reasons why the PDP should not zone it's presidential ticket to the S/EAST.

revolt:
just like they were better after buharis election .... well let's atikulate then.....

Of course, they were better after the election.


The S/West leaders in the APC sold the party to their electorates on the premisses that it will deliver certain issues garmane to the interests of the zone and they got substantial parts of it.

The Jonathan/PDP had no signature project in the S/West at a time that the country made Billions of Petro-dollars.
The busiest road in Nigeria, the Lagos-Ibadan Express, Ibada-Oyo-Ogbomosho, Oshodi-Apapa road, Lagos-Abeokuta road were in deplorable conditions under the Jonathan/PDP administration.
The APC promised to attend to these issues and also re-construct the Lagos-Abeokuta-Ibadan-Oshogbo-ilorin standard guage railways.


Apart from appointments of few office holders into juicy positions, the Jonathan/PDP didn't even do much for the S/East.

PDP members and their sympathizers will support Atiku.


APC members/supporters will support APC/Tinubu or Osinbajo

INEC should declare those who have the majority. QED

mrvitalis:
Yorubas was hostile to PDP yet obj won the tickets

So the two igbo APC governors means igbos see hostile

U lots talk like APC haven't won numerous election in Igbo land

There is no sensible logic why we should have zoning n not present an igbo man

But OBJ contested the presidential primaries and defeated Alex Ekwueme, Jim Nwobodo, Alabo Graham-Douglas, Don Etiebet and Philip Asiodu.

They have NEVER been any presidential primaries in which only politicians from one tribe participate.


If Gov Dave Umahi or Okorocha contest for the APC presidential primaries and defeat other aspirants, they every party member will rally round them.

But you are suggesting that the APC should just call Dave Umahi who just joined the party and say take the 'presidential ticket'

Vistra40:
But in all fairness to APC, if they don’t give their ticket to an igbo man, it would be justifiable because the SE has been hostile to anything APC right from inception. How then do you want the party to zone their ticket to a place where they are least popular? If it were you, am sure you would do same. However, this does not exonerate them from their poor performance at the federal level

No political party willingly set itself up to be easily defeated.

In as much as i understand the feelings of alienation of the Igbos (especially since 2015) in the political heirrachy of the country and I condemn it, the APC will be plotting it's own defeat if they hand over their presidential ticket to S/east in 2023.

Such a move will require imposition of an unpopular Dave Umahi or Okorocha on the party and it may cause too many cracks in the party that will make it easier for the PDP to defeat it.

humilitypays:
Because Igbos know the card Yorubas always play against Igbos is the civil war card to rally other regions into believing that an Igbo President will divide Nigeria, which is an obvious lie.



Take away the civil war saga, Yorubas cannot challenge Igbos in national politics.


Before the war, Nnamdi Azikiwe floored Awolowo several times, so Yorubas are only using the war effect to cury political favor from the North, and that's why Igbos are asking for the slot to be given to Igbos as compensation, we know Northerners will definitely vote a Yoruba candidate over Igbo out of fear of secession should Igbo win

You need to overcome your problems , difficulties and challenges. Successful people over their problems, not that they don't have problems.


The inability of the Igbo candidates to win is NOT caused by the Yorubas or any other tribe. The Igbo candidates just need to look inward and find ways to overcome this problem.

However you can't win if you aren't contesting on the platform of the major political parties.

Igbo candidates need to get over the tag of the civil war and win. I hope for such a day.

mrvitalis:
There are Igbo politicians and people who vote so what's your point

Look at the registered and the actual votes from the S/East in 2015 and 2019. They showed that the S/East have the least voting strength.

Campaigning for no referendum,no election in the S/East will further reduce their voting strength and dwindle their capacity for political negotiations.
Gradually the S-south is taking over the position of the S-East in the political equation of Nigeria.

Nobody is stopping any Igboman from contesting. Support any candidate you like and let's all meet at the polls.

Even Yahayah Bello is not insisting that others must be shut our of the race for him to win.

Yorubas will contest for the election damning any consequences and they will be better for it.

GET OUT OF YOUR FEELINGS AND USE YOUR LOGIC. JONQTHAN WPN THAT ELECTION BECAUSE HE WAS INCUMBENT.. AND THE WHOLE SOUTH PLUS MIDDLE BELT THREQ THEIR WEIGHT BEHIND HIM. BUT IF THE WEST DECLARES VS EAST...THE SOUTH IS DIVIDED AND THE WEST WOULD FIELD A NORTHERN VP. THE EAST CANT WIN AM ELECTION HONESTLY WHILE HAVING ANOTHER SOUTHERN REGION DIGIDING THE VOTES COS NORTH WEST AND NORTH EAST WILL ALWAYS VOTE THEIR OWN. PDP MOST LIKELY MAY ZONE TO THE NORTH TO UNSEAT APC... KNOWING APC WILL GIVE PRESIDENCY TO WEST. IF THIS HAPPENS THEN NORTH WILL SIMPLY RULE 16 YEARS. SO THE BALL IS IN YORUNA PPLS COURT. RMBA HOW WE WARNED YOU ALL ABOUT BUHARI AND YOU GUYS RAN BLINDLY AND GREEDILY TO SPITE THE EAST.... THE SAME QILL HAPPEN AGIAN.

You are very naive to think that every voter is voting for a candidate just because of regional sentiments. And by the way, how many States constitute your nebulous term 'the North' and who told you that everybody in this North is voting for a Fulani candidate to succeed a Fulani candidate to make 16 unbroken years of Fulani rule?

Ttalk:
It sucks to tie your destiny to what you wish the north should do. It's so embarrassing that you desperately wish north retain power so as to punish SW who has shown interest to contest when you have right to demand for presidency.

What could be more dignifying than fighting gallantly rather than beg someone to help you beat your enemy.

It is a shameful act to beg north to retain power when you can equally contest against north and west

Somehow they seems to be convinced that they can not win presidential election. Their next best strategy is to work for and pray for a Northerner candidate that will chose one of them as vice-presidential candidate not that they really like the North.
Nothing is really bad in this strategy since politics is all about interests and self preservation.

However they should stop calling others that have used similar strategies greedy or other unprintable names.

All these their postures will change if Atiku fails to pick Peter Obi or any S/East politician as his running mate. By then the shouts of Biafra will be very loud.

mrvitalis:
Hypocrisy is when u want presidency to be zoned to the south but not south east

Truth is north know they can offer south east or south south vice and still retain power ...not has absolutely no reason to give power to south ..

Yoruba presidency is hanged on the simple thing called northern backing ...north choosing them over igbos simple nothing else ...but north know the house is divided and some region would even encourage north to hold on to power

.they hold all the card ...they are just holding out so the greed of yorubas scatter southern unity boom they strike knowing fully well the south east or south south would be eager to pay back yorubas in 2015 coin


This is typical northern trick , make u feel u are superior to your brothers , make u think u can outsmart them when your brothers hate u and don't care not strike boom

It's amusing seeing people who are not members of any political party, who don't attend the meetings, rallies, Congress or primaries and some who don't even have voters card insisting on dictating how a political party should chose it's flag bearer.


People that think like you need to come together, register with a political party and try to effect the changes you want as members and stakeholders of the party.

It's very difficult for arm-chairs critics and emergency analysts who only play their politics on social media to effect changes from outside.

omoharry:
Of what use is future job availability when the lives of the indigene of that state will be threatened by blood thirsty Fulani herdsmen? Anything that will position these Fulani herdsmen in the south, must be rejected.You think Buhari is pushing this program becos he loves everyone ? He is doing it to position his kinsmen everywhere.

There's no law that State that only Fulanis must participate in the rearing of cows.

Each State can employ their own Indigenes as Herdsmen. I hope you know that there are some breeds of cows that are reared in Ikeji, Osun State by Yoruba Herdsmen?
