What of opobo

Is that a question?
You are a mad man!

bigfish3k:
The igbos in the riverine that you people have told that are no longer igbos like Wike.
I just don't want those arguments with a neighbor because I don't want bad blood argument

I didn't say Wike is not Igbo, Wike said he isn't. Wike doesn't come from a community with access to the sea.

Even if you include people like Wike in your Igbo world it still wouldn't give you access to sea ports.

bigfish3k:
So what parameters are you using to say its landlocked

Igboland does not have access to the sea

bigfish3k:
Igbos are in Rivers too.
I am igbo and from Rivers.
The five SE states must join us in the riverine if they are to go, so that we don't become minority joining others
Igboland is not landlocked if you free all the igbos joined to other states like delta state and Rivers state etc
As far as if Tinubu becomes president his policies will affect us. We have the right to correct him
The yorubas gained more by associating with the igbos if not they wouldn't fight to death to keep them

Igboland is landlocked. No matter what metrics you use Igboland is landlocked. As an Ijaw from Rivers state I can tell you that!

greymiles:
After you should say there are no igbos or Igboland in South south. This is a royal son telling you he’s Igbo
But yorubas will come and tell you he’s not Igbo now, they don’t know all these ijaw, bini, efik and co are just splinter groups from the Igbo tribe

Igbo Amaka

Truth is bitter. So many yorubas hiding under other tribe to mention me

Ijaw is NOT and will NEVER be a splinter group of the Igbo! That's an insult. Before you we were.

APC had no zoning. Unless they lied to us.

uniqueboi1:
What about other Governments giving it out for free? Abi you no dae pay tax again?

Just say you want to join the government in stealing Niger Delta oil money! How much tax have you paid? Did you pay to the FG or Lagos state government?

If you all take things for free how would infrastructure spread round?

People like you are part of Nigeria's problem. You are the reason issues like subsidy and privatisation have remained unresolved in the last 2 decades.

Myhusband:
yet PhD holder are still struggling to find their path in this useless country. Nigeria and Lagos state is upside down

Going by the name of their union they own transport companies. Yes, Nigeria is upside down but they are not the reason Nigeria is upside down. If people call out your beloved politicians for the crimes they've committed you would probably be in the first line of defense.

Nigeria is one of the few countries her PhD holders are not inventive and innovative.

People like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates never had degrees but they are doing well. People like Elon Musk, the google co-founders and a host of others have multiple degrees and are doing well.

Many with or without degrees are not doing well.

It all depends on individuals.

Yes, these men may have made it through crime or their close affiliation to political figures but people can still make clean money in Nigeria. The problem is we are not imaginative, we don't have patience and we don't seek knowledge.

The mindset of most Nigerians have to change! You don't need the government or criminality to make it big in life.

Buhari is better than Jonathan!

1.Now Nigeria has at least 2 out of the 4 leading terrorist groups.
2. We need only 81 million Naira to cut grass at our Abuja stadium.
3. Monkeys and snakes now know how to make money.
4. We defeated India to be the world's poverty capital.
5. Petroleum products are sold for over 143 Naira and we have a new name for fuel subsidy! We are doing well, only lazy Nigerian youths will think otherwise.


If I doubt of our achievements ask countries like Syria, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Iraq and Sudan. They will tell you we tried a lot!

RuudVanNisteroy:
Why are you defending the Governors and Local government Chairmen that have secured their generation for a 1000 years?. It is facts thrillions has been pumped into Niger Delta through NDDC,state allocations and 13% derivation with nothing to show for it.

Why have you turn an issue about Nigeria into a Niger Delta issue other than mischief?

If anyone is trying to absolve people it is you. What have you done to stop your corrupt Nigerian leaders who loot 87 percent of the Niger Delta's oil resources?

Mgbadike80:
After the new president takes over in the USA, Nigerian government officials might be hit with extreme sanctions from western countries. Nigeria is a country where everybody in authority behaves like a demigod and our political leaders are the worse.

If Biden is sworn in I don't see them placing sanctions on Nigeria. They worked to bring Buhari into office in 2015.

The anti same sex bill Jonathan signed into law provoked them. I don't see the Democrats opposing their man, Buhari.

ChoCho54:
Speak for yourself. Not everyone is hungry.

Yes, at the moment. In the coming days, weeks and months more will be hungry.

He better be under pressure not to 'run'!

RuudVanNisteroy:
What have your Governors and local government done with thrillions received. Money is not the problem of Niger Delta but fantastical corruption.

What has Nigeria done with over $1trillion USD she recieved?

What right do you have to question our governors? Question your governors and your federal politicians.

RuudVanNisteroy:
It is a shame no single central business district of the major cities in the Niger Delta, which states receive the highest allocation in the country have the same level of development of major cities in Namibia and Botswana.

B3ACHSIDE

You call 13 percent receiving more?!!

It is a shame that many people liked your comment. It just shows that most Nigerians are ethnic extremists.

Those who collect 87 percent for zero input turn around calling those with 100 percent input names.

Your parasitic state contributes NOTHING!

In the last 60 years it has contributed nothing. You should be ashamed of yourself. As Nigerians you should be ashamed of yourselves.

13 percent derivation you don't want us to hear anything because of has only been here for 21 years out of the 60 years Nigeria has been an independent state.

UsmanBabaIdris:
Those roaming the streets of Lagos, Calabar, PH, and South East!

Your sisters

lastclaire4:
You dont understand. What do you think she knows, she wants to implement ? She is not a professional. You cant compair her to her predecessors. You cant give what you dont have.

Her immediate past predecessor was not good too.

reservd:
Funnily enough, they have successfully killed their language and taken up the Igbo language. An average Bonny indegene speaks igbo or nothing

That's not true, at least those I relate with. Do you speak Ibani or any of the other Ijaw languages in Rivers state.

I communicate with native Ibani speakers from Bonny.

Local languages in Nigeria are dying. Not just Ibani, Rivers state as a whole is largely affected. You travel home to the village and the younger ones speak broken English.

UsmanBabaIdris:
Your bleaching sisters too should be mad, for seeing Black as derogatory!

Shikena!

How are they my "sisters" and not yours? How?

AdaugoChisom:
To connect Bonny Island here to mainland via bridge is taking FG millennium

So that IPOB will turn it to another Oyigbo? God forbid!

lastclaire4:
Finance minister? That one na political appointee o just leave her. That one doesnt know anything o. She is there just because no female northerner has ever held that position.

Under normal circumstances being an appointee doesn't mean you wouldn't do things your way. The worse would be a sack.

flyingpig:
PDP is a dying party.

A SS party

More SE and Northern Governors are considering leaving that titanic party.

If it ends up being a SS party so?

The SS will dictate the terms of Nigeria's union as long as oil remains the Nigerian government's primary source of revenue.
If the table was the other way no core Northern governor would let us rest.

This cheering news for Buhari's apologists!

pickatyou2:
What can I say. Peak selling scam to mother's making them believe na their formula dey make pikin smart.

Only in Nigeria these marketing scams are allowed! In their home countries they wouldn't be allowed to pull that stunt.

lastclaire4:
I will Emefoele is equally stupid. He is not the first CBN governor to go against the wish of the president.

Must he die on the seat? Why cant he tell them the right thing.

Even if he goes against the wish of the president that wouldn't be enough. He and the finance minister( at least). Will have to go against the wish of the president.

Due to Nigeria's over reliance on oil and gas, the president, being the petroleum minister would be crucial to any far reaching fiscal reform.

How can a bird fly from Finland to Nigeria



The bird is a native of Delta abeg.... na oyinbo wan steal am go Finland, come put ring for him leg but the bird japa....


Why him fellow Delta people come kill am na another story....

What does a bird have wings for?

Johnrake69:
This policy somersault from Emefiele and co will soon turn our economy to like that of Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe will be like paradise! More like Venezuela. The primary issue is Buhari, not Emefiele. The CBN is overwhelmed. Both monetary and fiscal interventions have been left to them because the Buhari cabinet has failed to act.

Nothing new, in some Ijaw communities prominent people "seat" as part of the burial ceremony.

The broken English word, "tanda" is borrowed from that practice.

These idiots that are referred to as Black see the word Black as derogatory! They MUST be mad!!!!!!!

LegendHero:
All what you’re saying is still stories and Jonathan was clueless in 2015 so every sane thinking Nigerians should have voted him out.

His comrades were looting recklessly while Biko Haram keep killing people enmasse in the NE and Jonathan continue to drink his burukutu and squandered all the proceeds from oil wealth during the rainy days.

Buhari was known as an anti-corruption figure and even the international community supported his candidature then because they all thought Buhari is the solution to Nigeria problem which is then Security and Corruption.

The SW voters are the most advanced voters in Nigeria who have shown most times to vote based on manifesto and common sense. We see in Buhari a solution to the problem of insecurity because he was a former general who solved the Maitatsine terrorism during those days and we saw his as an anti corruption crusader too so Votubg Jonathan our was justified.

However, like every politicians with their promise and fail, Buhari turned out to be a bad market who failed us because he was not able to solve both things we voted him for. What then is our problem when we only exercise our right to vote in a democracy?

Let me tell you something, the Yorubas don’t care what anyone of you feel about our decision and if you are to present us the 2015 situation again, we will vote for Buhari.

We have stood alone in the South and hold the forte against the SE+SS alliance all through these years. Even in opposition, we have influence and always hold our head high without resorting to emotional blackmail everytime.

If you don’t know OBJ in 1999 was not a SW preferred candidate, then I won’t waste my time on that subject. It’s just like Obi and Igbokwe on the ballot, and the Yorubas went ahead to vote for Igbowke who normally wouldn’t be the preferred Ibo candidate.

From your statement it is obvious you South westerners know next to nothing about Nigeria.

1. A Jonathan won't drink burukutu
2. Jonathan was opposed for trying to remove subsidy because he identified it as a major conduit for corruption
3. Who were the beneficiaries of the subsidy scam if not South westerners and north westerners?
4. The same people that sued Jonathan because he started saving for Nigeria are the same people that bankrolled the APC and hold important offices in Buhari's government.
5. The international community did support Buhari, the primary support Buhari got was from Barack Hussein Obama.
6. You have forgotten I raised the Falae/ Obasanjo case. If the Yoruba saw Obasanjo to be very bad and Buhari to be very good why did they[Yoruba] wait till Jonathan's turn to bring Buhari in?
7. If the killings in the North east ( that started under Obasanjo/Yar'Adua) was the reason Yoruba rejected Jonathan, why did you Yoruba give Obasanjo a 2nd tenure despite the killings in Odi, Taribo, Port Harcourt, Warri, Ogbakiri, Zaki ibiam etc?
8. Buhari killed people in Abia and Delta state and was rewarded with a 2nd tenure by the Yoruba. Since when did you start valuing human lives to the point vote for a change in government because people are killed. Under Buhari Fulani herders have prominent Yorubas, kidnapped your preferred candidate in the 1999 presidential election yet none saw the need to change the government in 2019.
9. On the contrary it foolish Nigerians or bigots who fell for Buhari's antics in 2015. To justify Buhari in 2019 just shows you are a south western bigot. The data supported sound economic performance under Jonathan. The country amongst the 10 fastest growing economies in the world. Ranked as Africa's foremost investment destination. Today they are the suicide and poverty capital of the world and you want to convince me bringing Buhari was the best decision for Nigeria!

ivolt:
Fake news. No train derailed. Some foolish herdsmen blocked the railway line and got their cows wasted. The herdsmen should be charged for endangering people's lives and causing an accident.

Their brother and his slave minister, Rotimi Amaechi may compensate them for their "losses ".

Bighead5:
The way your people are making Buhari's government ungovernable.

As if you know who my people are!

Nobody has made Nigeria ungovernable for Buhari.
