Putindbutt: Stop arguing. Jaja or whoever as an individual could go buy goods from wherever to sell. who cares?. we are talking oil protectorate from where the british directly explored palm oil for exports and whose revenues used to develop the ports and transport systems in eastern region.
Putindbutt: What evidence?. we are talking about 1880s when palm oil was first produced in niger delta coasts. the revenue was used by the british to develop eastern region. at the time, there was no imo state. palm oil in southeast was decades later.
In in 1800 King Jaja was trading on palm oil from Igboland.Do your research even down to 1400 you will find documents on that.
Azzik: Sacking finidi for me was just too early, even Jose peseiro started very poorly for more than 5 matches in a row and didn't get the axe, but because finidi is a indigenous coach they are quick to fire him after just two abi three matches.
Very unfortunate.If he was European coach they won't dare sack him so quick because they will pay through their nose.
Putindbutt: Lol. imo state for where?. wasn't part of oil rivers protectorate. it hasn't even existed then. u come dey change mouth now. u falsely believed ibos fed the minorities and developed them but the reverse is the case. the minority feed ibos then and now. put some respect on them.
Eastern region was exporter of palm oil so the agric sector was well developed then.You asked for evidence I posted video as a proof. 4 out present 5 SE states are major palm oil producers.
[quote author=Putindbutt post=130488024]Where in southeast?, abeg no dey twist history. have you found out why they call dem oil river protectorate?[/quote
This is Ada palm plantation Imo state.Every state in SE is major producer.Cross River and Akwa Ibom are major producers too.
How come they are quick to judge Finidi with just two matches and forced him to resign but our president is asking suffering Nigerians to be patient with him after one year in office?Why did Tinubu sack Finidi after just two matches?They should have given him enough time to learn on the job like Tinubu is doing.
Ezewuzie01: Disregard those fake measurements. Use your own eyes to compare the sizes of the two states in any Nigerian map and if you are honest to yourself, you will see clearly that Anambra is much bigger than Abia that looks rather thin and out of place.
Why should I disregard fact because it did not favour your bias? Ok Anambra is larger than Niger state
Putindbutt: No, it was the ibos that benefited from the palm oil of the minorities. the minorities were called the niger coast/oil river protectorate that produces the of palm oil that was shipped through eastern ports. Palm oil was the biggest export and revenue earner than coal.
Mention the minority that was producing more palm oil than Igbo main land.
Killerofpigs: Sultanofpiglets is an enigma. I will definitely pass the message across. Please tell ablejesus to be focused on rearing his cows.
He will get your message as you have mentioned him.I think he is a noble man like me that stand against the menace IPOB poses E be like say dem don ban sultan of piglets well deserved .That guy na mumu man
Tranquill: U think all these your fear mongering and imagination will make Ikwerre to become Igbo
You should begin by mentioning the Ikwerre people that were governors, deputy, ministers or commissioners under your defunct Eastern region. Igbo people were even bringing people from Aba and Owerri to become Mayors of Portharcourt until Ikwerre people decided enough was enough. Oga you people should maintain your lane and stop ‘thinking for Ikwerre people’
But that is exactly what Yoruba are doing to Awori in Lagos by bringing people from Iragbiji and other places to rule over them in this century.
Putindbutt: without the port, the coal was useless.
We help each other grow.Without the coal there will never be PH City as we know it today. Minorities under Eastern region benefited from palm oil and coal coming from Igboland long before crude oil was found in Niger Delta.
kedeojo: don't mind him, BUA cement is in a heavy competition with dangote and he is also building a refinery in akwa ibom. Do you see dangote screaming and crying. In okpella close to my place, two of them have their factory. How many igbos even patronize inosson. You people don't love yourself. Dangote sino truck has many northerners patronizing them. Go to major markets in Nigeria and see foodstuff and livestock that leave the north to south, you will understand what am saying. Charity begins at home. One of my igbo friend used to condem other tribe for not patronizing inosson because is igbo. To my surprise, when he want to buy his car, he bought a Benz and I reminded him and he just say my brother make innoson car dey one lane. I give kudos to innoson for his breakthrough like other assembly car plant we also have too. If he his not getting high patronage, I think his people are not good ambassador to him. Imagine that my friend have bought inosson car then in my our area in Benin, some person after sometime may buy, because they will want to study the durability, efficiency of the car they see. I noticed in Nigeria for many years now, the northerners patronizes business interest of their own firstly before others and that is the way. In Nnewi I can bodly say 70 percent of car owners there don't use inosson vehicles. Note I am not saying his product are bad. I entered his coaster bus in asaba around 2014 and I was marvelled and I will rate it over the comrade buses in my state, Edo state that was produced by deawoo in Brazil. Imagine one of the igbo transporter in Benin uses one before, don't you think the state government may even consider it first. To me, inosson has done well, let his people be his ambassador outside the zone and patronizes him there too.
Putindbutt: But you squashed Adaka Boro's niger delta republic because of oil and then mapped them into biafran because of oil. smell your body and see where the odour is coming from.
PH City was founded and built with Coal money from Enugu many decades before oil was found in Niger Delta.
