Yorubas keep bragging that they can survive without oil because of multinationals in Lagos, nw oil price and they are all losing, hw cn dey cope with Tinubu's overtaxation to keep sustain Lagos economy? Jst watch, only indegenous companies mainly in d east have d resilience to withstand this

What multinationals are u referring
to,oh they think if biafra goes that Lagos wud still exist?
Lagos wud be dead and so wud the so called multinationals.the only reason they are here is because of population .so imagine when about 15 million igbos leave Lagos .
Only one thing wud happen ....the superb n boisterous lagos economy wud seize to exist.

Honestly I am just so sick and tired of this nuisance ideology called Biafara.Must everything be related to Biafara?And besides who want war in this contemporary world were countries are clamoring for peace. EVEN Ojukwu in his grave regreted starting such nuisance ideology,and would never want war again.If you are tired of Nigeria,honourablly,get a passport and get out!dont nurse an ideology that will cause more harm than good.Human lives cant be brought!!

Then tell Ur bubu to give us our biafra peacefully,no one has to die.
One thing is certain the time for biafra has come,so its either u give it to us in peace or in pieces.

Then tell Ur bubu to give us biafra peacefully ,no one has to die.

Federal palace is not as good as Nike Lake, the best in Nigeria seems to be Eko lemeridien

Eko lemeridien is one of the worst five star hotels in Lagos ,am not sure but I think it has bin demoted to 4 star hotel.The best hotel in Nigeria is federal palace hotel.
U can check your Trip advisor for more details.

Kennydoc:
Don't mind the Op. He's a tribal bigot.

Even though I'm Igbo, I can never, except at gun point, agree that that hotel is the most beautiful in Nigeria. I don't even think it's the most beautiful in Enugu, not to talk about Nigeria as a whole. Intercontinental Hotel Lagos beats that Nike Lake Hotel hands down. Infact, it will be an insult on Intercontinental Hotel to compare it with.

The mod that moved this to front page without modifying the topic deserves to be spanked by FFK, along with Lai Muhammed. Such threads often degenerate to tribal e-wars because of the title.

Taa,which intercontinental hotel are u referring to the same one along kofo abayoyomi?you don't know what you are saying.while Nike hotel may not be the most beautiful it is far better than the Chinese made,(chinco)no space ,intercontinental hotel.

No way Op,the hotel is beautiful but definitely not the most beautiful.
I work in the hospitality industry n I can tell you authoritatively that the most beautiful hotel in Nigeria is THE FEDERAL PALACE HOTEL & CASINO .
visit there n u will be amazed that a place like that exist in Nigeria.

Congrats to the best governor so far ...keep on with the good work of transforming abia state .

Congrats to the best governor so far ......keep the good work going

Idrismusty97:
Of course they are a few genuine ones no one is doubting. But the agitation grows when it was obvious GEJ would lose the election. it's all politics.

No u are way wrong, the agitation grew when your bubu made it clear he wud marginalize those that did not vote for him.

oluwaSmith1:
Thats really a good one.



Push my Amaechi to Niger Delta to treat Wike's fault up.

Mumu,and u think a "mere" minister would be more powerful than a governor?.

At all Bro! MTN solely controls 40 percent of the our total GSM user base, and are ARGUABLY Nigeria's largest Foreign investor.

As much as I'm not their fan, I think The Government should slash that amount considerably or arrange a split payment schedule with them running into years.

I was thinking maybe the NCC should just hold them to ransom. I mean in exchange for clemency, They(MTN) should make their services more cheaper especially data services. Like N10 for 1GB....Lol! It's wishful thinking!

Thank God u put arguably... Cos they can't be bigger than chevron,Mobil, shell ,Julius berger ,b&t etc.

Na wao so many beauty pageants this days , I just saw one parambulating around my office with her award hanging from neck to hips.
When I looked closer it was most beautiful girl in lasu

Buhari is yet to visit the family of Awolowo, instead he sent his wife after a month. Considering the VP's wife is grand daughter to HID, the least the dullard should have done was to send his wife after a few days, no, he waited nearly a month.

TO GBOLIWE: You are a use.less person for calling a Nigerian minister who is ready to sacrifice inorder to serve his nation a terrorist. People like you are just waiting for their chance to ruin and milk the nation dry

U are the bigger fuul for even attempting to believe those crooks. if bubu knows what he is doing those ministers that made those pronouncements should be expunged immediately from the list .
This is how u know people who plan to steal from their ministries.

nickxtra:
PDP gave tickets to Stella Odua, Theodore Orji, Akpabio and many others to go to the Senate inspite of the wide spread corruption allegations against them, yet they are telling us that Amaechi is accused of corruption and is not qualified to become a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Those people u mentioned were elected by their people
They have the right to choose the devil to represent them.

calebo101:
Must you be this foolish all the time because of 700 naira/day and 100mb data? Saraki and Amaechi are saints in your eyes? Which mouth Buhari wan open say e dey fight corruption again when Amaechi, Timipre, even most recently Ocholi is rewarded? The joke is on you slave! These PDP you call corrupt will be a dead party as you all wish, but guess where they will all go to? APC!!!

When we call most of you fools, illiterates, slaves, animals, and blind followers una go say na insult. Tell me the difference between both parties now. Or is it the name PDP you have a problem with? maybe they should all decamp to APC then in your figmented warped myopic mind Nigeria will be corruption free. Ode, keep thinking with your anus, like i said the joke is on you and your co-slaves.

Very solid reasoning wow,you got me thinking.

oluwaSmith1:
I don't think so...i see a committed politicians who is ready to serve his father land without fear.

U are a dumb N blind apc / bubu supporter.
The way you are going if bubu jails your family for not going to church on time you will stll find a way to justify
the action.

Rubbish!
Why won't they follow "one way" ? What do you expect them to do when all the roads in Lagos are "go slow" immune .
You apc shits shud fix your bad roads before u expect people to obey your traffic laws.

NgeneUkwenu:
Another Jonathan's achievement being claimed by the Duara Man.

For The Record: The fine was imposed and fully paid under Jonathan Government. APC liars!!

So for your mind this is an achievement?
Chai it just goes to show how scarce bubu's achievements are.

gateleo:
That is your problem Mr.... What happened today is what i called a NUMBER GAME..... Remember during the 7th assembly when APC senators were against Obanikoro Nominee... APC senotors also walked out of the chamber... So do me i do you, God no go vex.....

Shame on u,do u think amaechi or any of the apc senators care weather u exist or not.u are hear praising a flawed process that will eventually bring suffering to your doorstep.

Good very good at least now we go hear word .
We no go hear "changii "again
We no go hear "I will pight kwaruptian" again .
Cos the appointment n confirmation of Amaechi as minister is a confirmation that this bubu government is not ready to fight corruption.

atbu1983:
South South Niger Delta will never join biafra

Igbo are using the support they gave to Jonathan in 2015 election as blackmail to convert Niger delta struggle to biafra. Niger delta struggle is resource control and true federalism. This deception will not work. They only supported Jonathan because they got alot of appointments under Jonathan. They are just selfish and greedy people. Niger Delta Struggle is completely different from biafra agitation. Igbo supported Obasanjo against thier own son and hero Ojukwu in 2003 election, they should go and claim yoruba instead.

As far as I am concern Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa are all benefiting from the current system. After all an Igbo man Gen Agunyi Ironsi created the Unitary System for Nigeria in 1966 that we are complaining against today. Gen Agunyi Ironsi set the foundation for the destruction of regional federalism in Nigeria. if not for his love for total control and domination (The disease of an average Igbo man), Niger delta would have be enjoying 50% resource control today. When Isaac Adaka Boro wanted to form Ijaw Nation Republic in 1966 it was Igbo Head of State Gen Agunyi Ironsi that fought him with a 12 day war.

The Igbo claim to be one of us because some South South states were part of the old Eastern region. First of all, eastern region was created by Nigeria for Nigeria convenience. It was not a decision of the nationalities that made up the old eastern region. Secondly before most people forget, today Edo and Delta state were never at anytime part of eastern region. Edo and Delta states were first part of Western region later became Midwestern region, then change to Bendel state before becoming Edo and Delta state today. Some tribes speak Yoruba in Edo and Delta state. Why is yoruba not claiming Edo and Delta state the way igbo is claiming Rivers and Delta states because some people speak ibo in those states?

Igbo may have succeeded in brainwashing some South South people that they are one of us, it is a big lie. They may have succeeded in brainwashing some of us that only hausa and yoruba is the problem of South South, it is a big lie. They are the same as far as I am concern.

The problem with Igbo is greed, self-entitlement and born to rule, control and exploit mentality. Qatar is smaller than Bayelsa in population and half d size of Bayelsa state by landmass. Bayelsa is four times the size of Singapore. if Qatar and Singapore can be a country, why cant we have an Ijaw nation as a country? Do u think Ijaw people dont want to be like Qatar and enjoy their oil alone like Qatar does? Note: Bayelsa State is d smallest state in the south south by population and second to the last by landmass!!


Below is the size of south south states and south east states. South South is almost 3 times the size of south East.
Yet the population of South east is almost 80% of south south population base on 2006 census. But by the time you add igbo who are currently leaving outside south east, you will discover that thier population is more than all the south south put together. More than 90% of the resources (oil, gas, limestones,etc) are in the south south. The whole of South East is landlock with no direct access to the sea or atlantic ocean. but almost all the south south states have direct assess to the sea and atlantic ocean. Some will say they have River Niger. River Niger is not a sea or an ocean for big Ships.

Tell me why South South Nations will want to form a country with south east if they have a choice ? all south east will bring to the table is population and domination? The total oil production from south east is not up to 10% of south south oil production!

If you are the leader of south south nations will you advice them to form a country with south east if they have the option of forming their own country alone? give a sincere answer!!

As far as I am concern, as unbrainwashed south south , there is no difference between the Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. To me, these are three major tribe struggling and fighting for Supiriority. Whenever any of the three is loosing, he shout marginalization.

During Jonathan govt, the Igbos were gaining and were in control and were happy. The Yoruba were losing and were shouting marginalization. The hausa/fulani were not happy because they were not fully in control. For the North we can slightly understand because in the 16years of democracy (May 1999 to May 2015) the south ruled 13.3years while the North had just 2.7years

The Igbo don't love south south more than the hausa or Yoruba love us. All the three tribe are all struggling for the control of south south oil. None of the three is better than the other as far as we south south are concern.

The only place south south nationalities agree with Igbo is Nigeria should divide . However while south south clamour for succession is base on lack of true fiscal Federalism and resource control, on the other hand, igbo clamour for succession is base on IGBO BORN TO RULE, CONTROL AND EXPLOIT MENTALITY. Igbo make noise and claim d north have born to rule mentality because of Sokoto State former licence plate motto of born to rule which they have change. The People with the true born to rule mentality are d Igbo. it is because they are not having thier way that they are complaining and making all d noise all over Nigeria.

But how and why Nigeria will and should divide, what we want and what they want is as different as d distance of the earth to d moon.

South south want resource control or thier own freedom. we will support Biafra as Igbo only nation while they should support us to form our own nation or nations. But trying to add us as an appendage to Biafra will never happen.

If south south join Biafra, our individual identities will be wiped out in less than 50years. They will convert every south south nationality to Igbo. And they will so much take charge of the oil and resources with reckless abandon without any regard to d minorities.

LET EVERYONE FORMS HIS OWN NATION IF WE CAN'T GET 50% RESOURCE CONTROL. SOUTH SOUTH NATIONS DONT WANT IGBO, YORUBA OR HAUSA IN THIER NATION. WE DONT WANT ANY DOMINANT TRIBE TO CONTROL US IF OR WHEN NIGERIA DIVIDE.

They will argue that there are some igbo in rivers state, delta state and edo state. As far as i am concern Igbo speaking people in south south will join Niger delta republic or confederation. Their are Hausa people in Niger, there are Yoruba people in Benin Republic and Togo. Does that make those yoruba and hausa speaking people in those countries Nigerians?

The south south nationalities can form a confederation with United Arab Emirate template, where seven different nationalities came together to form a confederation with each nationality having some form of autonomy.

if the south east want to join the confederation they can join. We can't leave nigeria and go and form another normal single country were there is a dominant tribe. That will be moving from frying pan to fire.

Just like the United Ararb emirate asked qatar and behrain to join them, but qatar and behrain choose to form thier individual countries.

What Biafra represent is a single country with a powerful centre where a dominant tribe can control. South south dont want that. If we must fight or struggle for succession, we need a new name like "United State of niger delta" or any other name which clearly shows a union rather than a single country.

We need to set the record straight before south south nations make the mistake of south Sudan. It is more than Four years south sudan left
sudan to form thier country. Since that time south sudan has been in War while North Sudan enjoy peace. This was because nations in
south sudan came together to form a single country without ensuring that thier difference in ethnicity was fully discuss. Some
part of south sudan are now feeling marginalized. That is exactly what will happen if Igbo succeed in forcing south south nations into
Biafra. That so called Biafra wont have peace. It will be another Somalia!!!!

For peace to rain let Igbo form Biafra from the Five south east state and let the the six states in south south form a confederation or seperate nations. Anything outside this will never work.

I do not hate Igbo people. Many of my friends are Igbo. I only hate thier deceit and greed. what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
What we dont want is a dominant tribe simple. If south south join Biafra, that country will be 60% Igbo. How do you think other minorities can compete in that kind of country? Whether we like it or not we both know that Igbo are not diplomatic people by nature. That will lead to complete extinction of other tribe. in less than 50years they will make the whole Biafra Ibo without any consideration.

I dont hate Igbo. But i hate when i know the Biafra they seek is a Biafra with current south south as an appendage to it.
Why cant they support our freedom, and we will support thier freedom. Why do igbo make it look like it is wrong for Niger Delta people to seek thier own freedom outside Biafra? In biafra current south south minority will be like conquered people. God forbid that to happen.

a quote from Isaac Adaka Boro Autobiography (wriiten himself). Read Chapter 5 - Campus Politics
http://www.adakaboro.org/the12dayrev/chapter-5-campus-politics.
This was the campaign statement of his opponent for UNN SUG presidency:
"My opponent, Ejiogu, took the floor when I had finished, and what did he say? "Ladies and gentleman, this is a crucial time in Nigeria when we should not allow a vocal minority to rule an obvious majority.
These words still ring in my memory because, as my opponent put it, they are crucial not only to me but to my people, the Ijaws. Most of the alien students walked out of the hall and it seemed as if a spell was cast on the atmosphere. The campaigns ended solemnly and the result of the election was again one way. Ejiogu won with his majority. The last minute strategy. A Cameroonian friend of mine, John Ngole, promptly resigned his secretaryship of the Historical Society in protest."

I am very sure that Nigeria will divide faster if Igbo seek Biafra with 5 south east state alone and Niger delta republic seek a country with the 6 South south states alone at the same time. Once the Hausa and Yoruba sees that Igbo are supporting a Niger Delta republic separate from Biafra, they will see it as true struggle. But if the struggle is about Biafra with south south in it, where Igbo will gain south south resources with Yoruba and Hausa loosing out, I bet you until South South oil finishes, Nigeria wont divide.

If we cant get resource control, we don't need to form a single country with Igbo, we can seek for our separate nation on two front simultaneously but not on one front. What we need is cooperation from Igbo not togetherness with Igbo. If they truly want to leave Nigeria and liberate Niger delta people from dominant tribes, they should support us to form our nation as they form thiers. I bet you when that happen, the struggle will be half won.

The Ojukwu Biafra was Igbo dream not Ijaw, Esan, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ikwerre, ogoni, ibibio, etc dream.

In summary, my point is that why the primary interest of Niger Deltans is resource control, Igbo primary interest is seperation from Nigeria with Niger delta as thier trophy. Igbo wants a nation where they can become the lord, control and dominate others. Since in Nigeria, Hausa and yoruba are ahead of them in the power struggle, they resort to blackmail and cry foul claiming marginalization.

if Nigeria will divide peacefully by United Nations referendum, south south will not join Biafra. Peaceful division of Nigeria can only be into a minimum of five countries (Arewa republic, Niger Middle belt, United Niger Delta, Oduwa republic, and Biafra). South South will form its own nation/nations.

My Igbo neighbour may not like this submission, but it is the bitter truth

A true ijaw man has spoken. Clearly u are still very delusional and paranoid like your fore fathers were.
I won't join u in your misguided long write up,however I have a few words for u and your types still out there wallowing in ignorance n unwarranted "fear of the igbos".
First of all,let it be known that any igbo speaking land in Nigeria is an igbo land and there fore a part of biafra.take note of the word land and not state,so that if the people of rivers state decides not to be part of biafra we would leave them to their fate,but take our igbo speaking territories in rivers state.the same goes for delta state ,clearly anioma is igbo speaking and in fact no igbo man can claim to be more igbo than the anioma people. if the itsekiri, ijaws n urhobos decide to be on their own no one would force them ,in fact the igbos would gladly let them be.

THE ISSUE WITH OIL.
It really baffles me when people like to connect the agitation for biafra with oil.it is a fact today that the most developed countries of today are not oil producing countries. the igbos are scientific people they are tribe blessed with knowledge,this is a known fact all over the world and as u Nigerians will attest to they are the movers of every region in Nigeria .they are very creative,industrious and enterprising.they do not need OIL to excel. the Americans Japanese,Chinese,Britain Israel France Germany etc,are where they are today not because of oil but for their creativity and industrial capacity,while countries like Iran,Iraq,Afghanistan,Venezuela etc wallow in poverty.
Another important issue I would like to point out is the issue of who goes where if Nigeria divides(south south to be specific).
It is funny how some myopic people think that
The people of the south south are one or can form a unity that can be referred to as a country.
Funny more is how anyone would think that the people of crossriver and akwaibom would rather be with the ijaws and ogonis urhobo etc than the igbos.
The igbos are far more closer to the akwaibom n crossriver people than the rivers,bayelsa people.
These (akwaibom& crossriver)are the only people that the igbos would lose sleep over if for any reason they decide not to be part of the great biafra cos they have shown and proven that they can be trusted unlike the bayelsa n the riverine people.fortunately for us majority of them are ,I mean more than 85% of them are fully embedded and committed to the biafran cause.
So to hell with any tribe who wishes to be left out of the moving train.
And for what it's worth there is abundant ,untapped amount of oil in the current south eastern states.imo ,anambra.abia n even ebonyi have oil in abundance.only the federal government of Nigeria have refused to harness n explore the south east region cos of their deliberate marginalization of the region.although this may turn out to be a blessing in disguise when biafra finally arrives.

searching4lovee:
THESE BIAFRAN ANIMALS ARE BASTARDS THAT MUST BE REPELLED WITH BRUTAL FORCE. I IMPLORE THE INDIAN AUTHORITIES TO OPEN FIRE ON ANY ONE THAT DISTURBS THE PEACE OF THEIR NATION. THE BIAFRA CHEST BEATERS IN NIGERIA TRIED SIMILAR THING BUT DISPLAYED THEIR COWARDICE BY RUNNING 440 WHEN THE POLICE SHOWED UP WITH MERE TEAR GAS . THEY HAVE ABANDONED KANU TO ROT IN DSS DUNGEON WHERE HE TRULY BELONGS. AM SURE KANU BY NOW MUST BE REGRETTING COMING FROM A TRIBE OF COWARDS CALLED IGBO
