What is Canada using as their own Petrol and fuel is it not Bitumen. You can get end products such as Petrol and diesel from Bitumen but it is more expensive to mine and technological driven than the Crude oil.

Reason why Nigeria cannot afford to go the route of Canada because they want the fast and easy route.

Ondo state shoreline longer than Bayelsa? Hahahahah

Niger Delta is part of the Yorubaland so your comparison is meaningless.

ualitatively The Shoreline of Yorubalan is the best for sea ports:Direct access to the sea with few mangroves and creeks.The Shoreline of Ondo state is the longest in the country and the best suited for Sea ports.

We all know that it takes just two major tribes to agree before Nigeria will split and obviously Igbos don't have a problem with yorubas pulling out of Nigeria as we want out as well.the only reason Igbos haven't succeeded in securing secession is because Yoruba and Hausas will fight too keep Nigeria as one and at present we don't have what it takes militarily to pursue secession. Fact is that if Igbos and Hausa agree that Yorubas can't go ,you guys can do nada.

Yorubas will not pull out because Eboes think we should . We will do so at a time of our choosing in a manner of our choosing. We will do so for reasons entirely different fro those of the Eboes which iss mainly spite and hate. Nothing woud givethe Eboes more joy than to have a prosperous Biafra while others around them are suffering so they can laugh and gloat .That is their nature. We on the other hand do not want hungry or desperate neighbours and we genuinely wish for thriving prosperous countries from the component parts of Nigeria that are PEACEFUL and militarily viable.Whilst the Eboe approach is a nihilistic recipe for decades of Chaos and conflict.
The Eboes are like "ccome make we go shitt" The Yorubas are like go and shitt alone aabeg and this makes EBoes bitter. Funnyy peeps ! Must we shitt together?

You amuse me,If you take out the backstabbing nature of a Yoruba man I would chose you guys over housas or even ijaw.the only one thing common in a Yoruba and Igbo are peaceful nature, nobody wants war.

Igbos don suffer for Nairaland.

The lies handed down to the Igbos by their fathers as inheritance are being dismantled daily on this very forum.

The myth if Igbos as being the most business savvy group has been dismantled.

The supposed IGR statistics show that the 5 SE states generate the least IGR.

Today there's a thread that Igbos contribute an abysmally poor tonnage of rice despite making noise about Abakaliki rice and Obiano signing MOUs about like a clerk.

The truth is that lies are the only inheritance that Igbos got from their fathers, now that they are countered with facts, they're facing generational embarrassment.

Backstabbing?
You woke up one day and killed Balewa,Bello, Okotie-Ebohand many others sparing Zik ,Okpara and all your leaders and then you have the effrontery to talk of backstabbing

You always think everyonne is an idiott
We don't know you from anywhere and owe you nothing.So the question of backstabbing can not arise. It only show your immaturity when you do not understand the nature of your relationships. The main problem with you folk in politics in impulsivity.You are very childish and act without thinking of consequences and refuse to take responsibility. Back stabbing indeed > From day one in Nigeria you have always tried to be clever and dominate everybody.

The back stabbing narrative is a wrong stereotype and propaganda statement. I need to have an agreement first with you either verbally or documented before I can be labelled a backstabber. When did we ever enter into an agreement with anybody and then reneged on our promises?

Amberon11:
Im not telling you oil palm wasnt produced in the west then, I'm saying that oil palm from the SS made the bulk of the revenue and it is a known fact. I'll post the proof if I can find it.

Nope. I know the proof you're talking about.

The chart showed goods and resources exported from northern Nigeria and Southern Nigeria but there was no where it was regionally apportioned. Palm oil and Kernel revenues were more than any other revenues in the Southern Nigeria because it wasn't only the Eastern region that exported it. As far as I'm concerned SW also export Palm products. In fact, my father garnered more than 100 kegs per year till today. Let me also inform you that Ekiti was formally a part of Ondo and Ogun also produced palm in large quantities. If we combine all the revenues from oil produced in the Western and Midwest region with those produced in Eastern region, you would amass large revenues in the southern Nigeria like we see below.. And don't forget We're yet to talk of the revenues from Cocoa, Timber (Mahogany), Kola, Limestones, all from the Western region.

When did the British tell you the source of their capital for building Lagos ports? The SW was the richest region in the country in the colonial era, but it was never by much. The Eastern region even before oil was not far behind and the fastest developing region in the country and was also a major source of colonial trade.

Ondo is a minor player just like Imo and Abia in oil production. Largest oil reserves after Canada? What cheap weed are you smoking. And you're asking if I'm the mad one?

I won't be dragged into your childish insults. This was a contentious, but largely mature thread, but the kids are never far away unfortunately.

What's this one saying? Just shut up already if you've got nothing to say.

And yes, Ondo has the largest oil reserves after Canada (both heavy and light oil). As a matter fact, we will fully take over all our off shore rigs that spilled over to Bayelsa and Delta state by the time we have the full control over our coastal line.

Except Ondo doesn't. It's a stat you dragged out of your arse. Plenty of your brethren have made intelligent submissions on this thread, but you're just a child.
You'll take over offshore rigs? With foolish bragging like that, you must think you're watching a movie, abi?

Oga Deridegull, it is not Federal Government that built Lagos.
Only 3 local governments out of the present 20 were part of the federal capital territory then.
17 local governments were part of the western region.
It was Awolowo who constructed the industrial estates in Lagos not your incompetent federal government.
It was UPN that built most of the roads in Lagos not your federal government.
The only project worth of mentioning that we can attribute to the FG is the third mainland bridge and probably Festac.
I dare you to prove me wrong.

If the defunct western region built Lagos as you would want us to believe, one wonders why Awolowo and defunct western region left the capital of the region in a backwater status. I spent few times in Lagos and federal government presence was everywhere in Lagos. Even during the first republic, Yari.ba has no say in what happens in Lagos. Lagos was exclusively the domain of federal government hence there was no Yari.ba person as the minister of Lagos. It is a pity you are engrossed with silly local government area pattern of yesteryear. There were no LGAs when Lagos was a city.

What am I supposed to tell a dumb who doesn't know Bitumen is a crude oil? Who doesn't know Ondo state's offshore oil rigs spilled to Bayelsa and Delta all because we share the same coastal line due to the simple fact that we're in one Nigeria.

Will you keep quiet? Bring up the fact all Lagos LG was under the FG or just shut the Bleep up!

And no SS oil built Lagos because our seaport and majority of Lagos LG was developed with Cocoa. Shameless old man!

You can publish your skewed statistics as you want but one thing I may ask of you is to join Ndigbo in requesting that the federal government in Nigeria build one Lagos in eastern region.

You have to ask God and your ancestors for that. What did the FG bequeath to Lagos when they left in 1991 ?? IGR of less than 4 billion naira a year!!! Almmost everything the FG built in Lagos is dilapidated National theatre,National Stadium, Federal Secetariat even the Port is dilapidated and Lagos is building its own?

See the cretin that wants to lecture me about hydrocarbons. You've not posted a single stat to support the claim you dragged out of your arse that Ondo has the world's largest oil reserves after Canada. Having one of the world's largest bitumen deposits doesn't mean you have one of the world's biggest crude oil deposits. Bitumen does not have the same economic value as crude oil. For starters, it is overwhelmingly used mostly for tarring purposes, roofing etc. Canada has a specifically light grade of bitumen comparable to the heavy crude found in some countries which is why they are successful in extracting about a million barrels of crude per day of it.

Ondo has oil rigs spilling over into Bayelsa and Delta, yet Ondo earns vastly less in derivation that they do with this glaring theft? And they've never gone to court to rectify that? As I said, keep dreaming.

Find my fellows? Always amusing to see half-wits feeling clever on the Internet, feeling totally confident in their shallowness.

You're still using the 3 FG bridges that connect the mainland with Island. The 4th mainland bridge the state government have been planning for decades is yet to materialize. And still enjoying those dilapidated ports and airport and federal roads. And the largest power plant in Nigerria. Among a hell of a long list of "goodies". I have no problem with you simply appreciating the blessings Lagos has with its strategic location. It's this blatantly false narrative of how Awolowo and UPN developed Lagos, a 77-year Nigerian capital, that I can't quite fathom how you guys craft it with straight faces.

This one dey compare Bitumen extracted from crude oil after being refined with Bitumen resources (heavy crude oil resources.. Mumu!

And here I thought I was having a discourse with an intellectual fellow, not knowing you're one village champion. lol.

And let me inform your dumb head that as long as the said offshore rigs has its base in Bayelsa and Delta, there's little we can do because as far as one Nigeria is concerned, we share the same coastline until we balkanise Nigeria as a whole, then our coast line will have to be carved from the depth of Atlantic shore to our land border that separates Ondo from Delta.. Delta and Bayelsa would only have a narrow coastline to themselves after balkanisation.

And it's a fact that Ondo has the second largest oil reserves in the world, after Canada. Mumu.

As usual,yorubas the sophisticated tribe herself,has started debunking lies and propaganda with facts!


I LOVE YORUBAS

All mostly built with revenues from Western resources, not SS oil. If you want a state that benefited from SS oil, look no further from Abuja.

Why am I even having this stupid discourse with you? Th british built more than 1 seaports, one in Calabar in Eastern region and another in Lagos, in the then western region yet the Ibo won't allow us to rest and keeps crying. First Niger bridge was also built in SE but will they let us rest? Lmao..

You've got nothing on us. There's nothing te FG did in Lagos that it didn't do in the Eastern part. Lagos became what it is today because we are simply blessed! Don't envy, we aint responsible for your woe.

if they wanted they could make it even more better than that of lagos...

fact remains igbos love going their were is money...they are too lazy to build their own lagos in the east...

we shouldnt forget their mentality:
get rich or die trying......the easy way...

lagos was not built with federal money per se...the lagosians built lagos themselves...lagos doesnt get more fg allocations than other states..

Ereolamide:
What conspiracy are you guys talking about?

You mean Yoruba leaders woke up one morning and decide to truncate success of those eastern ports, are they responsible for the corruption bedevilling the NPA for not dredging the shallow ones, what procedural steps have Yorubas initiated that stopped shippers to use the eastern ports?

In a country where billions has been spent on electricity, roads, hospitals and other social amenities with absolutely nothing to show for it, the average ones are stifled with corruption, some bastards are blaming Yorubas?

Majority of pigbos are just cursed with envy, its not our fault that the British decided to build a fairly good port in Lagos, at least they were in calabar where they transport your forefathers as slaves before moving to Lagos, so how are Yorubas also responsible for this? Lagos state is building another one, Ondo and Ogun are about to start Olokola, when ships start berthing blame Yorubas as usual without holding your worthless leaders responsible.

You guys won't blame the failures of basic infrastructure on Nigeria but Yorubas, it's a well known fact that your useless uncles truncated the working system we had before this unitary government.

And to that old fool 'patience' Ibadan was the second most populous city in Nigeria during the regional system, no city was her equal, your fathers and uncles literally had their lives shaped there, any rot in Ibadan was due to migration to Lagos as the federal capital, Yoruba held Ibadan as their first and Lagos second at that period of time, and as it stands today none of your useless hamlets in the east can compare with Ibadan.

Bastards

This is why we need to send their dirty ass away from our land. Let them go and form Biafra so that if some things dont go well for them, there will be no Yoruba to blame.
They are known for being envious of Yoruba people.
I am sick of this country.
