Ok see the person calling someone a fool? you will use air to carry your cargo of crude oil & gas to the waiting markets in Europe, Asia & The Americas?

Reasonable minded people are applying technology to build pipelines from here across the ocean, you are talking of Airplane?

Yet you call someone else a fool? These are the little ignorant state of mind expressions that makes us know you kid Wailers have no clue on what you are talking about.

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.

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.

Nigeria can disintegrate quicker when the SS people join the SE people in pursuit of one country first, after which, new country or more, can peacefully emerge from the first country.
It's not the power of North or SW that's still stopping the SE to exit Nigeria.

Much of the Yoruba elite have understood that crude oil is not all that a country needs to survive, therefore, they don't have any more serious attachment to continuation of dysfunctional Nigeria.

No doubt about the fact that Niger Delta has more oil than South West but don't be ignorant of a fact that Ondo and Lagos are already oil producing states, Ogun State will soon join them. Yoruba can still survive with Cocoa.

So you really believe that after the SS and SE jointly exiting Nigerian in mutual collaboration, the SE will then allow the SS to go its separate way?

If not for the useless Nigerian tag on igbos, today the Igbo's would be battling Japan , Korea n China for industrialisation n technological power......
The Igbos are the only tribe in Nigeria today that manufactures n produces.....
The Igbo land is the richest in terms of mineral deposits.....
The Igbo land is rich in oil deposits but the useless Nigerian state, keeps playing politics with the igbo oil wells......this will be corrected when Biafra comes....
IMO n anambra gas deposits combined is largest in Africa......
As for your assertion that igbo land is land locked , it's clear you're so ignorant....its really amazing how ppl still think been landlocked in this 21st century is a problem.....

You don’t even understand what you wrote. Your parents that did experience the civil war won’t write up all the above gibberish. Without the south south, the south east will have no where to go. Of course everyone knows the igbos are industrialist, but every region have got a comparative advantage over the other. I’m sorry to say, the Yorubas have all. If Nigeria split today, our region won’t need any region to survive. Lagos access to any west African country is a comparative advantage alone let alone other advantages. Your region have a lot to lose without the Niger delta. If you manufacture, where do you want to take them to if other region set up borders? Which sea do you want to pass if other region set up a defense mechanism. All your income will be paid as duties to others. You don’t know what a United Nigeria is doing to you

What revenue does Lagos generate?

The vat generated in Lagos is because of consumption of other Nigerians who because of lopsided federal structure came to live in Lagos, the income tax paid by oil companies were got from the same Niger Delta. The money from the banks came from the big banks owned majorly by Niger Delta, the Telco money from mtn came from Nigerians all over the country using mtn. Lagos has no natural resources or human capital or tech capital , the imports coming into Lagos could have come elsewhere from Niger Delta ports if not for lopsided federalism. The imports is majorly by Igbos and the north

I don’t even know where to start educating your ignorance. During the civil war, when all your people went home. Lagos revenue was still above many west African state. Where did you think that revenue was coming from? Oh! From the people fighting civil war right? If Igbo pull out from Lagos today, it won’t affect Lagos revenue. The drivers of Lagos economy are the mixed race not a tribe.

instead of retorting to name calling argue with facts. So VI, FESTAC and Third Mainland Bridge has been built before oil was discovered? What was Oil windfall used for during Babangida era? It was used to build Third Mainland Bridge, some part of Ikoyi and VI. Obasanjo used Oil boom of 1976/1977 to build FESTAC. Dispute these facts and tell us how these projects where financed.

Obasanjo is a bit lacking memory, the same armed forces of the country that has failed in the North and willingly handed over bakassi peninsula to a less fancied and smaller neighbor will find thier coward voice when it had to do with Niger Delta or South East.



Let me also add that Baba Iyabo is also a liar otherwise, he should have told the real story of how the 13% came about because it didn't come easy.

He should tell us why he changed the name of the then governor of Akwa Ibom state, Arch. Obong Victor Attah, to "Mr. Resource Control" if he wasn't forced or pressured.

Obasanjo is a traitor to the YÒRÚBAs and a fulani slave. His name would die with nigeria. This is not 1990s where anyone would tell our kids that Usman Dan Fodio is our hero, we would tell them the history ourselves and let them know our enemies within.

Obasanjo's name would die with the fraudgeria that he so much cherish. Stuupidd old fool.

If I ever meet this man outside the country, I'll let him know how much I hate him.

Bro, Niger Delta region don't like Igbos. That's a known fact. I still spoke with one of my guy from warri today, and we were discussing this issue. He sternly warned me not to refer to him as Ibo, that he and ibos have nothing in common. He's not the first, second or third person that would react this way.

You guys tried to cheat them during the start of the Biafra war. You wanted to take their lands as spoils of the war even before the war started. They've told me the story. Calabar, urhobo, Akwa ibom, bayelsa are where these people are from.

So wake up from your slumber.

I hope you achieve Biafra, just leave the SS people alone. At least, you don't speak the same language with most of them.

Look at the kind of history this man is priding about in this time and age? Nigeria is clearly a failed state. Shame on all Nigerian (tribal) leaders. One directed his clueless AGF to look for a non existent Gazette on grazing routes. When they couldn't lay hands on one, they found solace in signing PIA which allocated 30% of petroleum revenue in search of oil in Bauchi & Gombe. Nigeria is like a broken glass that can never be mended.
