Can he say that the resources in Jigawa belong to Bayelsa as well. Well, that's how northerners think. But you as a Southerner cannot live @ peace with them in their own land.
Their land belongs to only them but they want to share from other states.

More reason why national conference is a necessity. More reason the conditions of one Nigeria must be discussed. More reason we must practise true federalism.

geeez:

That's why I don't enjoy discussions with people who are more emotional than rational

Baylesa doesn't control its resources, the FG does

So what he's said, if you didn't view the video, is that the oil belongs to Nigeria and in essence Jigawa and every other state

He also said the resources in Jigawa belongs to Bayelsa

Until states begin to control their resources or Nigeria divides, what this man has said is correct

However, personally I would suggest a regional system of government where all states control their resources so the oil in Bayelsa will truly belong to Baylesa but as it is today, that's not the case

You are on point. However base on the last paragraph,
IMO: the northern part will never accept regional govt. The north still see regional government as resource control, which they are strongly against. And that is why the northern part don't see any reason for NC, as far as north is concerns, oil money most be distributed among all nigerians.

They will only take blood in exchage of oil

owolabifunke14: Real madness,I have map of nigeria here,bayelsa and jigawa do not share a common boundary.

No common boumdary is an understatement. They are very far apart.

The summary of what he said:
1. For as long as we remain Nigerians, the oil in Bayelsa also belongs to Jigawa
2. It is true we are all different people, Fulani, Ijaw, Yoruba, etc but as at today, we are all Nigerians, the oil in Bayelsa also belongs to Jigawa.
3. I don't mind if we all go our separate ways, then we'll agree that bayelsa oil only belong to bayelsa, but as at today that we are still Nigerians, the oil in Bayelsa belongs to Jigawa.

I think the guy is 100% right. Also the Fulani man is also interested in the option of separation.

Once we are one nigeria, then anything that is in the land belong to all nigerians as a whole. For Those of you thinking or dreaming that, national conference will bring about resource control/true federalism, just forget about it or call disintegration of the country simple. No need of pretending.

So the northerners are against true federalism?
Smh.
We have to divide this country.
The south can't move forward being hedged with the backward north.

Boll2010: ^^^
Quit being an ignoramus......you and I know what this old man is saying....stop shying away from the truth.....and your BOLD FONTS aint mean you right....this is a country where their is grievance,hatred,bigotry,fanaticism accross her horizon......and someone comes out from a particular tribe and says he owns other tribe resource without any legal document of the tribe in question selling their lands to them,just because of they are bound in one nigeria,they should kick on with his fallacy? Bro you and I know that there is more to the trash the stateman has talked about

Both of you are correct. The oil belongs to Jigawa and It also belong to Beyalsa. Buth this malam is determined to kill if you say it doesn't belong to them until the oil is finished, then he will tell you that Beyalsa is not part of Nigeria. So let everyman in this part of Africa stand up and let the truth prevail. Biafrans should go and Oduduwa should go and others so peace will rein

SU-37fighter.:

Maybe Ika people will form their own country, not the whole South

^^^That was the part that got me fuming! Anyway, the jokes on my Ijaw brethren in particular, and[b] southern Nigerian elite in general! [/b]

Imagine the fool saying that it's God that brought us together! Since when did Lugard equate to God?

We can all be laughing about this now, but this man is speaking the minds of the core northern elite! They fought a war and spilt blood, not b'cos they love to share the same country with those 'pesky infidels' down south.......but b'cos of oyel!

yet it isnt a joke, but very absurd that it got the sounthern Nigerians laughing. He said, "they are ready to spill blood and fight for what belong to them", meaning the laughing southern nigerians belong to them as their slaves

greatgod2012: Sincerely, this oil issue has been turned to curse for Nigeria. In the real sense of it, the oil suppose to be a blessing, but unfortunately, it's not any longer, it's turned to curse, example is the above video scenerio.
May God help our nation!

Oil is not curse, blessings are not curses, ( that one is rich and another kills him or steals his goodies does make the his richness a curse), but in truth the rich man has to be wise and devise means of protecting is wealth, that's just what southern nigeria lacks, the south lack wisdom and has been a fool in the hand of the core north.

geeez: What's wrong with what he said?

As at today, there is nothing like resource control by the federating units

He's made a valid point and he also admitted that he's not afraid if Nigeria divides but we must sit to discuss

The oil in Bayelsa belongs to Nigeria, which Jigawa is currently a part

Until this not the case, the oil in Ijawland belongs to Jigawa like he said

and Lagos belong to Yorubas Right? With this your above post Igbos are right when they say Lagos belong to them.

Call it Nigerian Oil then we will see the sense in what you are saying.

Is this the same Farouk with dollar cap?

9ja comedians are d best.....

Nite of a thousand million laughs.
This nonentity and his likes should join Julius the Genius Agu as Palace Clown apprentices.

i didnt watch the video but im sure what he has said is very much in tune with our present constituition. that's why GEJ is calling for a conference but our southerners are the ones totally against it.
southerners wake up now cos if a northerner gets there, prepare for worse things.
remember how yaradua was creating university of technology and desperately piping our crude oil up north before his illness put a stop to it and GEJ collected the oil back after 2011 elections? well this will resume in full force if a northerner becomes president.

Seun. See the video here o! Come and lock this one too.

U're so myopic. Dats y i hate some Nigerians- inability 2 discern speech logicaly. Can't u see that the man's speech is laced with hatred and tribalism. What he is saying is there is no way that part of Nigeria dat produces crude oil will seceed without bloodshed cos the unity of Nigeria depends on oil!

The people of Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Delta and Edo agree with this man that Niger Delta oil belongs to all Nigerians including Jigawa. The only people that kick against this noble statement are Igbos and I do not know why

We have liberated SS minorities from their igbo enemy, that is why are they can enjoy their oil money and drinking ogogoro. ...

SS will forever owe yorubas and Hausa-Fulani for their enjoyment ...we are champion of peace and good life... if you know what I mean...we rule and ruin ...

LOL at how some ppl are masturbating over what is technically and constitutionally absolutely 100% correct.

The person who made the statement is high on weed. The oil in Bayelsa belong to Bayelsa and Nigeria because Bayelsa is in Nigeria today. But it does not belong to Jigawa state. Jigawa state only benefit from it because Jigawa state is in Nigeria. benefitting from something does not make you an owner.

To think that your from Edo state, the only SS state without oil but was listed on compassionate ground is making so much noise on how Biafrans want your oil.

Edo state have oil palm not crude oil, Prescoe and Okomu oil are not oil companies but palm oil firms stop attaching to Niger Delta oil because you have none

Tobbie9:
He even went as far as saying they'll never let go.of d oil except they're defeated(war) this goes to tell any sane person dat naija can never split peacefully, d northerners will never allow it, so all u biafrans and ooduans in d house ur dream can only come true via bloodshed start getting ready 4 war.

And fight we shall.

why will u fume
he speaks the truth
if you're given 1 talent and you waste it
it will be taken away from you
they are willing to kill for it
bayelsa ppl are not
ergo the oil is theirs

Hmmmm this weed is strong

Everything is possible in Nigeria!
Didn't we hear that Ibos own Lagos?

The only reason nobody wants to own iboland is because there's nothing there and everyone is running out of there as fast as their legs can take them!

OPCNAIRALAND:
To the rhesus comparing regions, Southeast is the least valued region anywhere in Nigeria.

Here is how to compare development in real economic terms. The Nigerian currency, Naira, is a common denominator and so holds value whether you are in Enugu or Ibadan. But we know, based on migration and investment numbers that Ibos are the ones migrating and investing in other regions because the quality of social living in these other regions is superior to that obtainable in Iboland. Therefore assuming we have individual and different currency based on the distinct economies of each region....so that Yorubaland has its own currency, lets call it Alare pound, Ibo has its own currency, lets call it Biafran pound, .....it will take a million Biafran pound to buy one Alare pound at exchange.

What this means is that an Ibo in Yorubaland is far much valuable than an Ibo in alaibo by a million. This is so because security, commodity market, social justice, liberty, entertainment....and everything else instituted in West by Yorubas is a million times better when scaled against same criterias in East. This explains the migration and also the mindset to accept being a lower class untitled citizens in Yorubaland than the privilege of pedigree status back home in Alaibo.

This is a true measure of class in Nigeria.

A lie may travel for a thousand miles, but it takes just one step of truth to catch up with it.

The voodoo analysis above can only exist in the phantasy world of ewedu eaters. It's no longer news that Yorubas thrive mainly on an atmosphere of lies, falsehood and propaganda.

If the abysmal thinking of the op that assembled the garbage above holds any water why are the Yorubas most vocal against Biafra

Yorubas have used every known tricks to attempt to quench the call for a separate state of Biafra. Many mischievous Yorubas have taken to the internet camouflaging as South-South people and South-East people, feigning undying fake love like never before and putting forth baseless theories why the idea of Biafra should not be allowed to fly.

Recall that in the heat of their numerous nightmares frustrated Yorubas have created numerous threads on Nairaland in their desperate attempts to stop Biafra agitation. Due to the resounding responses they received on such threads Yorubas had to quickly call for such threads to be deactivated! Fact#

If at all Yoruba economy is better than the Igbo economy why are it's people worse hit by the dwindling crude oil prices

If Yoruba economy was in any way superior to Igbo economy Ekiti State will not deem it wise to send its citizens to Aba in Abia State for vocational training, to equip them to be able to create wealth for themselves and improve the economy of the State just like Eastern region.

If Yoruba economy was superior to that of Igbos why is hunger ravaging its people to the extent that concerned individuals from other parts of Nigeria had to come to their rescue, donating cash and food to ensure that they survive the economic crunch occasioned by low crude oil revenue?

And through all this period there was no cause for alarm amongst the Igbos in Igboland. Not even in Abia State where the civil servants were being owed their salaries, courtesy of the State's strong informal sector unlike Osun State where the phantom internally generated revenue (IGR) was a lie of fabricated figures
to massage the egos of Yoruba Kingdom.

T.A Orji of Abia State was labelled as the worst governor in the last dispensation by Igbos on NL and even in the outside world. Nobody criticized TA Orji and his failure in Abia than Igbos. Yet mischievous Yorubas kept lying to themselves of the sterling performance of Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State who was as bad as T.A.

Yoruba media propagandists churned out statistics of how Osun State has blossomed to being able to do without the free handouts from federal government (courtesy of the crude oil wealth from another man's backyard) and yet before one could say JACK the State became comatose and bankrupt.

Of what good is the big size of Oyo State when Ebonyi State is more developed than it? For the myopic Yorubas with poor geography of a place they call their 'country' the smallest State in size in Igbo land is about 3 times the size of Lagos State.

Find below the desperate attempts in the past by mischievous Yoruba voodooists to portray Yoruba economy as good:

1. "I don't need federal allocation to pay workers" - Rauf Aregbesola (ThisDay Newspaper, Nov 28, 2011)

2. Osun's Monthly IGR Jumps from N300million to N1.6billion in 3 years.

Yorubas accuse Igbos of being too smart in business and therefore should not be trusted. The implication is that they unconsciously accept the Igbos as having superior IQ and business sense.

And when credible institutions publish the results of their studies showing Igbos as chart-toppers Yorubas begin to search for straws to hold onto to fault the research. You wonder why they become so rattled and agitated at such results.
Business is all about smartness and no dullard or book-theory person can do better in a business than a person with native intelligence. 

Mental superiority makes you want to find your own space. 
Mentally dull people hate radical changes and want to just keep doing the same thing.

There is a correlation between Igbo achievements and 21 billion dollars remittances back into Nigerian economy on yearly basis as evidenced by statistics from Western Union. A less backward or less enterprising group of treasury looters cannot achieve such feat.

The Igbo youths are born into a society where they always have to think fast else they will be like Yorubas who live on free handouts from Abuja. Igbos always try as much as possible to excel in their various pursuits in life. Little wonder you see many Igbos competing on the world-stage.

Without government connections and patronage, Wale Tinubu, Jimoh Ibrahim, Femi Otedola, Mike Adenuga etc. of Yoruba tribe will be nowhere today, and that's why every now and then you would hear them being linked with one financial crime or the other.

Nigeria economy assumed a downward trend when the Yorubas and their Northern co-travellers acquired all Nigerian companies by virtue of indigenization decree of 1972. But they could not manage the companies instead they ruined, defrauded, liquidated, bankrupted and destroyed all the companies - that was the mother of destruction of Nigerian economy! The swindlers indeed bastardized the Nigerian economy. 
And to divert attention from their ineptitude and crass looting of the treasury Yorubas would use illogical reasoning to attempt to bamboozle other people while pointing accusing fingers elsewhere!

After more than 40 years, despite the stolen wealth, the Yoruba land cannot be said to be transformed and be one of the enviest in the world. None of their cities could be likened to, say the least, Johannesburg!

Inspite of the tortuous journey the Igbo man passed/passes through to achieve success the criminal system in place and the Yoruba gang will not allow the Igbo man be. Yorubas are bitter and angry at the success of the Igbos, that they use any given opportunity at their disposal to remind Igbos that they are the ones who accommodated them and therefore they should abide by their dictates, whims and caprices, including being coerced to vote the candidate of the host's choice in election.

With all the disadvantages Igbos faced and still face after the 1967-70 they rose from grass to grace and Yorubas are not even ashamed to compare Igbos with treasury looters. 

There is no law on this earth that prohibits free movement of people and participation in government. It takes a man of courage to venture into an unknown terrain and conquer it. The Chinese are doing it. The British, Portuguese, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese etc. did it. If the great Roman Empire hadn't ventured out no one would have known they were great. Today many American businesses are located offshores in China, Saudi Arabia, Tokyo, United Arab Emirate and they are still venturing out to conquer unknown terrains.

For you to be great you have to venture out of your comfort zone. This is the true character of the ever industrious and peace-loving Great Igbo Nation. As of today it would be an understatement to aver that Igbos control 50% of the economy of Lagos and its environs. You see, it pays to venture out instead of lazing around touting and disturbing the peace of the society. 

Niger Delta agitation will start the day oil becomes the new coal. Then, they will see how vulnerable they are.

LUNACY DISPLAY & ANTICS!

Can't read it!
