.... But Alex Ekweme was the vice president of Nigeria that year. What did alex ekweme do to support him?

chrisbaba1:
Err, who told you im yoruba?

Perceived Injustice has no solution

PhockPhockMan:
At times I weep for this country. Imagine the level of technological advancement Nigeria would've been if people like this was supported.
Last time I heard of him, it was reported he invented the world first automatic fire extinguisher that starts working at any slight feel of fire.


So unfortunate

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

The above is absolutely false. Mr Damian was not the first Nigerian to fabricate a working radio station in Nigeria. The credit goes to a graduate of the then Kwara state college of Technology, whose name i cannot readily remember, in 1976.

If you say, he was the first to do so using herbs, i cannot oppose that.

In the 80's i met Mr Damian at one or two trade fairs where he demonstrated a touch sensitive wireless microphone and some other interesting gadgets, whose mechanisms were rather opaque to some of us in the field.

As to your emotional outburst, Nigeria is where we deserve to be!

[s][/s]I don't like idiots to quote me,hope you ain't one?.
What do you tag 'percieved Injustice'?.
How can SE have 5 states,while others has minimium of 6,and 7?.
How can you tag the oil & gas in their region a national asset,but Cows,Groundnuts,etc up not isn't?.Their are thunders and one glaring injustice against them,and that can't be tagged 'percieve',unless you don't know the meaning of 'percieved',or you are being plain stup!d and s!lly.

so the rest of us are blessed by devil ?

This tribe have come along way on inventions and technology. They really need govt support and sponsorship to mass produce all this and Nigeria will be in the news for the right reasons.

chrisbaba1:
They dont get support because of their boastful attitude. Theres greatness in humility. If such is handed to them, other Nigerians will be deaf nd trampled upon. So untul they get their ideals right, there wont be support for them..... Kudous to these mbaise people, great respect!

TheOnlyWiseMan:
They prefer to hear stories of Igbo man who stole ten naira Akara..

I don't even know where to start with you, you to me are like a little child having special tantrum moment needing adequate discipline

- I have said it before and would say it again, states should never be used as regional tool for perceived equalization, it makes no sense, already there are too many SE states, non of them are large enough to support the number of viable LGA, they repeat the same function and overlap each others state boundaries, using FG monies that can be better used. Aniomha state or whatever it's to be called is just another 100 million Naira security vote and whatever number of commissioners , civil servants and etc that comes with it.
The allocation to the SE states just need to remain generous, those other regions have a higher number of states because they have landmass at least 10 in the North and 1.5-2 X in the SW , even the SS is twice larger than the SE .

Concerning revenue generation, there is a need and a current plan to ramp up agriculture and mineral mining in Nigeria to expand the economy, and maximize our potential. Those textile industries , our grain production, cocoa , mining, all would rebound.

Your problem is your lack of intelligence and insecurity. You lack reasoning it is time to invest in self improvement

damola1:
In my opinion, the problem I find with the igbo people is not their intelligence, or brilliance, but they lack character, and character is more important than anything, let your yes be your yes, even if it doesn't look bright.. They are so en-grudged in self. I don't know any mbiase, but what I hear now is imo mbiase, what's my business with that, it's no longer igbo but now a tribe. before you know, it's no longer mbiase, but a family, it's no longer a family but a person.

They do not understand that a broom that's tied together is stronger, than a stick that's alone.

swezenberg:
If it is from the South East, it has to come from Imo State. What have they not produced. Pretty ladies, lovely singers, intelligent Governor etc.

PhockPhockMan:
You know, 1979 he was operating the radio was just 9 years after Nigeria / Biafra war, every Igbo man was a suspect. I was told he was hated persecuted like radio Biafra's Nnamdi Kanu.
I will research more on the issue.

cheruv:
Nope..
By ekwensu..the god of dimensions, of war and tricks and the bargain

No wonder your people are full of tricks

GstringAngela:
alex ekweme, the igbo man who was the vice president of Nigeria that year frustrated him because he was not a ndi-anambra

Beremx:
so who frustrated and humiliated him?

sonnie10:
The same thing Osinbajo is doing to support your dream now. Abi you no get dream?

jara:
Sorry guys, I hate to burst your bubbles. So many radio stations before this guy was born in 1957, even in the East not to mention many in the West. I did not know radio station private or public was a big deal in 1957.

I stated very valid facts, and to correct you this apparent lopsided situation favours nobody, it has impeeded true progress but with so many people reading an agenda into innocent actions the distractions abound. 

I'm Yoruba from Osun state, the least favoured state in the Nigerian conception, a state that has been making great effort to remodel the education system and welfare of citizens.  A state that absored 50% of the old oyo states civil servants , a vast majority of those guys are now retired with a sizable pension monthly, the Nigerian FG has decided that they are not  important because they are not from an oil producing state. I never mentioned that before because it would be a sentimental comment. 

Now take that fact and run with it. You have no real input

xtrorse:
Point of order, your Yoruba tribe has been largely favoured by the lopsided arrangement in the polity! That's why a great number of you bigots would prefer the status quo to remain. A number of Yorubas have used the unjust system to their advantage, looting the treasury with reckless abandon. Yoruba leaders wrecked this country and brought her to the present miserable state! Do I begin reeling out names of Yoruba people who have raped this country to death?

If you are not comfortable with the lopsided situation in the country, why would you and your lots rant endlessly whenever you hear that Igbos seek to be on their own?

That you hail from Osun cannot erase the fact that many of your comments are laden with prejudiced colorations. That's the true character of a typical Yoruba person, educated or not. If you are sincere you won't overtly or covertly support the evils been perpetrated in this country. Your type should have been the first to support whichever group that wishes to be on their own instead of wailing as if your life sustenance is being taken away! That would afford your people the opportunity of developing Osun State to your taste. But you would rather whine and rant, advancing silly reasons why Osun State should be entitled to 13% oil derivative or whatever you are subtly clamouring for inspite of the free handouts you get courtesy of the oil wealth from another man's backyard. 

Yorubas ruined, defrauded, liquidated, bankrupted and destroyed all the Nigerian companies they took over by virtue of indigenization decree of 1972. That was the mother of destruction of Nigerian economy! Hiding under government, the banks gave majorly Yorubas and Hausa/Fulanis loans to buy up foreign companies they did not build. The same money stolen from Igbos by the Gowon government!

If there is any southern tribe that has gained much from this fraudulent union, it is the Yoruba tribe! Whenever you use every available media to shout and make much noise it is to create room for more looting for yourselves! 

If truly you and your lots are not the problem of this country why do you always weep and wail when Igbos talk of walking away from this contraption? 

No matter your education and exposure, people like you in the society are known not to be truthful; you speak from both sides of the mouth. You pontificate as if you are objective and sincere, feigning ignorance of the evil of the day.

I make bold to tell you that your Yoruba tribe have only flourished at the expense of others courtesy of the unjust system, of which you are a beneficiary!

To just state it as it is, there is nothing sweet or palatable about your gala!

Now take that fact and run with it. You have no real input...
