When Nigeria finally disintegrates, the people of the NigerDelta region will be richer than the yorubas. The south west is 100% dependent on the resources of the Niger Delta.

Imagine what Oyo state will look like without free money from Port Harcourt.
There has been a big fight where Lagos has been politicking to take l the headquarters of the oi majors to Lagos so they can be paying IGR in Yorubaland.
My friend, there is much to Oyo state than you know. Beside the fact that it is a renown citadel of learning where best of institutions are based, dont you know that ibadan is not big for nothing. We have enough land for agriculture and our success in cocoa farming justified our potentials. When you have both education with Agriculture, such place will always be economically productive and a center of attraction.

Who is this uncouth child of anger and depression? Who born your ignorant type? Lagos, my homeland and South West do not need oil to prosper. We are strategically located and positioned. When your father was in village, in Igboland the Yoruba generated revenue to keep him and your biafrans alive. Why are you blaming the Yorubas for your father’s failure to raise you well. That’s why we don’t care anymore, if you split the country we are good and if you continue like this, we are good. You and your ancestors historically till date seek asylum in our land.

That's what we thought in 1970. The reality is saddening to you now.
i don't know why most of you find it difficult to stay mute on issues patterning the ijaws and their oil? Why dragging the igboman to their madness all the time ?

You rely on oil, hunger will finish the south west anytime they remove the Niger Delta feeding bottle from their mouth. Think about how terribly poor osun state will be without federal allocation.

Osun is still better than Abia in all ramifications. You should be worried if the Niger delta refused to join Biafra. That’s death end to the east. No access to the sea, gully erosion, etc

I still respect this man in spite of his few undercomings-who doesn’t have, but one thing i know for sure that we are lucky to have someone like him around!

Imagine a country where the likes of buhari are the remaining surviving the so-called “statesman”!

Look at how foolish you turned this fine discussion to ethnic debate. Is this all what your stunted brain could come up with.

Don't mind them

They don't know that if not for Baba's Land Use Act of 1978 before Nigerians had really understood what hit them
their Ancestral Villages and Lands would have long been inherited by Grazing Cows in a Cattle Colony

That Act held up despite all Buhari AG Malami and his Cabals efforts to Grab indigenous Lands for their Livestock

Are you aware that we have oil Ondo, Ogun, and Lagos States?

Are you also aware of the large deposit of bitumen and gold in the South West?

2ndly, oil is no longer the main thing. Over reliance on oil is the bane of our development.

Yorubas would not even need oil money to keep running.

You must be confused? how did Buhari AG Malami and his Cabals efforts to Grab indigenous Lands for their Livestock?

Section 6(2) of The Lands Use Act that you referred to says: No single customary right of occupancy shall be granted in respect of an area of land in excess of 500 hectares if granted for agricultural purposes,

or 5,000 hectares if granted for grazing purposes, except with the consent of the Governor.

All the Federal Government was reiterating is that Under the Land Act, herders are entitled to Land for their agricultural purposes, & the naive ones shouting that it is our land, are not aware of the demands of the laws of The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

More like nationalist, we are loyal to the entity of The Federal Republic of Nigeria first, before religion & ethnicity.

If Nigeria was attacked & war was to break out with another country, & there was a call up up to the army, no one will be talking of ethnicity.

Imagine what Niger Delta would be if the people (Niger Deltans) who also control NDDC used the money Judiciously 3 Trillion Naira spent and your region still looks like any part of Nigeria, nothing distinct to show, your people pay bribes upfront to access funding for critical health care, your leaders share money meant for life-changing projects and their children are being groomed to that style of funds utilization (looting)

Obj and love for letters.Obj has done his best to work out political permutations that resulted in Niger Delta having her son on the highest seat in Nigeria and he also did same in Kaduna when Yakowa emerged as the first Christian from South Kaduna to be a governor.They were divine arrangements but God used Obj.

Can we also use the same logic to say that it was a divine arrangement by God to use IBB to put Obasanjo in power in 1999 so as to give Yorubas a chance?
Let me tell you this. If the SS had had an opportunity to chose whom among the six SS governors of those days to represent them in Abuja as VP and finally president, Donald Duke would have been the unanimous choice.
