OP dis ur title is offensive. Is like saying Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE etc dont deserve thier wealth. We have been blessed to have crude oil in our land. And dis crude oil feed the whole nation. Even if we are drinking Ogogoro, we have contributed massively more than 80% of Nigeria economy.

Is like saying King Solomon does not deserve to be king because he inherited it unlike his father David who fought for it.

Even though i agree having oil is not enough reason for us to be lazy and be drinking ogogoro as u put it, but asking what we contribute to Nigeria is an insult. Yes i will prefer we behave like Texas people in the United State and Russians, who despite the massive crude oil in thier state and country respectively, still work hard in Farming, manufacturing, technology,etc.

But coming to Nigeria, we have some great South South sons and dauggters who has created thousand of Job in Nigeria. We have Jim Ivia of zenith bank. We have elumelu of UBA. We have the Ibrus of Ghandian and former oceanic bank now ecobank. We have AIG Imuokhoede of Access Bank.

Even in d North, Most of the agriculture comes from North Central/Middle Belt. Actually as far as i am concern, middle belt is neither north nor south. I consider them Hybrid of both.

Even d laziness you are talking about, i believe is even national rather than south south people in particular. The whole country is lazy because of oil.

Personally I believe the OP is an IPOB tout who created this mischievous, outrageous and Offensive topic to create dissaffection and hate among south South with South west and North. I dont think any sane South Westerner or Northerner share d same position as the OP in my humble opinion.

OP the fact that u created this ur Moniker today further proof you are an IPOB tout. it means you are hiding ur true identity so dat we cant know who you are from ur previous topics and post. What a shameful act!


Note:
I never use d word Igbo in my post to describe the OP. I used IPOB tout. For me, even though IPOB tout are Igbo, not all Igbo are IPOB tout. So i am very conscious of dat truth. I never use d word Igbo.

Ezekwesili, Ngige, Eboyi state PDP Governor David Nweze Umahi are Igbo but they are not an IPOB tout.

IPOB and Igbo race are different.

I have stayed in the south-south for 5 years and I can boldly tell you that your people are very lazy. Your youths don't work. I mean, why work when they can just take weapons and Rob people on the streets? If your youths are not lazy, them no go carry cultism and militancy for head like ringworm. I remember in 2015, some delta youths blocked a federal Highway because they didn't get the monthly stipend Jonathan was giving them. I stayed on the bridge linking bayelsa and delta for 4 hours because of your lazy youths. You cannot lie to everyone.

technically only strongmen will have d liver to go into cultism,, militancy n bunkering, lol

nw on a more serious note, I'm 4rm rivers state n i know many of my pepo r guilty of this, i won't go into d issue of why it's that way cuz if we're all asked to give excuses for bad habits am sure we'd all have excuses to give, but there is anoda side to this.

Go to places like port harcourt, warri d pepo der r hustlers, most of d ogogoro drinking men r in d small communities and villages, but port harcourt, warri, Benin, calabar boys dey can hustle more than lagos hustle

anoda correction is if u must call us lazy don't say many niger delta pepo r lazy, say many niger delta MEN r lazy cuz the women r one of the most hardworking in the world they r even more business minded dan eastern women

Go to places like port harcourt, warri d pepo der r hustlers, most of d ogogoro drinking men r in d small communities and villages, but port harcourt, warri, Benin, calabar boys dey can hustle more than lagos hustle

we talk of cultism, armed robbery in SS as if these things don't happen everywhere

well in summary if u want to know how well SS contributes in human resources check out this

Pls i really think we sud focus on moving forward as a country instead of bashing each other, NW, NC, SW, NE, SE, SS we all have our strengths n flaws, no one is better than the other, but together all of us are better than one of us

thanks 4 listening 2 my boring preaching n even if it flys out of your ear make sure its flying into anoda ear

far more than your brothers from the southsouth

I dont know that yorubas can this be so dumb.
Question: What is nigeria main revenue generation( what brought dollars to nigeria)...
Google the niger delta and google will show you the economic pillar of the country. Lagos is nothing with south south. Without south south yoruba will be like zimbabwe. Apart from oil , what is the major revenue generTion of the arab league countries?

So as you can read from wikipaedia we feed all the 3 lazy parasitic regions of nigeria

south south and it's people have always been overlooked by the major tribes, the lack of population makes many people even unaware of their existence not to talk of their contributions, I've met many people who confuse famous south people for Igbos or Yorubas, don't be surprised to find out 40% of traders in lagos markets or in corporate firms are southerners who learnt to speak yoruba or igbo for better relating with the people

but in truth d south contributes as much as the other regions, if you want to really see them look at the entertainment industry

thunda fire you....its not our fault that things are messed up....

am so shocked seeing this unguided comments,.. how on earth can one just sit down & say such idiotic kind of words,. wherever u are from always God an appreciate the entire southerns for always allowing monthly allocation to all federation which other have the opportunity will never allow such..mind u if u are that bold enough then let split the country.

or let each state manage itself, we'll know whose making mouth

One state alone in the south can enrich the entire west.. keep deceiving your people and yourself with hate and envy of Niger Delta. Your governors and salarymen depend heavily on our region to feed. Think about this, If niger delta is taken out of nigeria, what would b left for your agberos and politicians? is it agbo and kolanut that you will start selling to eat together with infrastructural development?.. Na wa o.. Nigeria is blessed because of Niger delta and our south-eastern brothers(fact)

We south south know who we are and we know why everyone of you want this propaganda. We know we are so unique that we unite Nigeria because of the treasures and beauty of of our region and people. I am from Delta state. When it comes to academic related or performances delta state should be among the best 3 in SSCE level. Lists below is what we Deltans and other south south states are known for.

*Entertainments: awesome
*Banking/Financial Industries: awesome
*Sports: awesome
*Agriculture: fair

An average SS guy/girl is most likely smarter and intelligent than the SWners or Northers except the SEners because we are close.

We don't have to advertise our brands because we are the best all round.
Don't hate because we are blessed. The nation is proud of the people and we all know that.

I am not a northerner but cattle rearing is also farming, don't you eat meat almost everyday? you listing the south-south as bringing oil is very shameful to them, are they making themselves productive in any way is the question.

Nigeria's greatest kingdoms, histories and individuals are from Niger delta... Dont be an ignorant...Google and acquire more knowledge

The only reason Nigeria continues to exist is because of long endearing sacrifice that the minority tribe make.

hungrynigerian:
in the south-West the Yorubas are know for their intellectual capabilities which makes them out standing in the corporate world, in the south-east the igbos are known for their business and entrepreneurship mind set, northern Nigeria is well known for agriculture, they arguably feed the nation. please what are the people of the south-south known for other than saying "na our oyel" so because one has oil they should just fold their hands and sit down doing nothing but drinking ogogoro all day long.

ask all the ex president and the present one this same question, and you will get your answers
