Sounds like something a dolt wrote; no disrespect.
The world is working on moving away from crude oil in the nearest future, here u are tying ur future to a commodity that would soon be as useless as the coal deposit in Enugu.
Aconomist: 50% would allow them to maintain (or even increase) their total revenue from the oil because they won't have to distribute cash to the southern states. The deal would allow Northern Nigeria to split away without sacrificing its revenue.
I think splitting Nigeria will benefit the North as much as the south. They can focus all their attention on securing and governing their country instead of oppressing and mismanaging ours.
Presently, how many percent of the oil revenue is accrued to the North?
If u give them 50% oil revenue; What about the revenue they get from the seaports? What about the VAT they enjoy from ur consumption of alcoholic drinks? What about the access the herdsmen have over ur lush vegetation?
It would take more than 50% of oil resources to convince the North to leave her bride (the South).
Aconomist: You talk like someone who is ready to fight and spill blood for his freedom, but we both know that isn't the case.
If Southern Nigerians have the balls for an armed confrontation with the North, then why aren't you capable of wiping out the enemy currently in your land. Fulani herdsmen have penetrated as far south as Delta, killing and raping everything in sight, but you monkeys just run and cry instead of wiping them the fuq out.
Knowing you are cowardly and spineless men, the only solution is negotiation. And a 50/50 split of the oil is the only way the North will agree to leave.
What even makes u believe the North would accept that 50% deal to free something they control 100%?
TooMuchStuff: You have made a powerful statement here. South Sudan only grants Sudan exclusive right of way to convey their little Crude oil to the global market. We SS won't give even a glass cup of crude nor are we gonna give them free passage to use our maritime resources. Dem go pay for every every
Today, in this geographical space, the North controls the oil resources 100%; the North controls ur land, ports, water bodies and everything thereof.
What makes you think the North would even accept such miserly 50%?
If only police could keep this same energy, maybe Boko Haram would have been a thing of the past. How many years have they been investigating Boko Haram; and no sponsors caught yet?
Ya; we have lost our sense of reasoning, its IPOB!
Asquare84: I think president buhari is trying to reverse this trend expecially on the aspect of closing our border to encourage growth of agriculture and other local products, gradually Nigeria will get there.
Remember when Buhari is planning to buy petrol from NIGER REPUBLIC - aWa 37tH sTaTe?
Aufbauh: Akuko......story Omokri's narrative is already staled! In fact it has repress to myth rather than reality.
'Buharinomics' is dealing with everyone, most especially the Igbos whose major stock and trade is importation. Reno needs come to naija and ask Nnamdi how far?
Are u sure about the "especially" part? It's a free market u know; a man who spends so much to import would reflect it on his price; hence, the final consumer takes the brunt.
As for "Buharinomics" dealing with everyone, that's a fact.
OneTemplate: Most likely they will have to fight DSS in civil court for whatever fortune they are chasing.
The law should not allow blackmail of the Speaker, over a situation he is not responsible for, merely because he is a well-off and prominent Nigerian.
The speaker's aide killed a family's breadwinner; it is high time these politicians started being held responsible for the acts of their useless aides who have no respect for the lives of humans; that way, the politicians would rein in their security aides to be responsible.
It is the vendor today, it might be ur turn tomorrow; unless you think 500million is worth more than ur life.
OneTemplate: Indeed and Gbaja would be justified taking this attitude considering he had reached out a hand of conciliation to the famiky of the victim over a regrettable occurence he did not cause.
Not a lawyer but I know for sure Gbaja is not criminally liable for the action of a security personnel attached to his office by the DSS.
Civil liability is a grey area altogether but commonses would indicate that the DSS should be the parastal a civil suit should be lodged against. Anyway the obvious hostility of the family, with legal threat attached, is something that is uncalled for.
What is ur problem? Is the 500million your own?
Gbajabiamila is a politician who has taken enough from the spciety; 500million is a "chicken change" to these greedy, self-serving politicians. It is not like the family of the deceased is asking for a "pound of flesh."
Gbajabiamila should pay up jarey; it is our money!
laidima88: even if the the newspaper man is alive can he make 500 million before his death, I'm sure the speaker will want to compensate them though it might not be up that amount but if I'm the one with this their attitude I won't give any Kobo, the should sue the security aid the pull the trigger.
Ya, if he were alive he wouldn't make 500million, but that is because Gbajabiamila and friends in government are sitting on the destiny of the masses with their useless, self-serving and poverty-spreading policies.
GBTYO: BMC's latest fool for hire Techmo, is here doing his 30k per month shilling.
Techmo, we are done talking.
You will see real fury.
That which will make every citizen uprising look like kindergarern tantrums.
You think every one is a bastard and a slave like you?
I am GOD's Son.
Created to walk among God and whom God ordered HIS angels to bow down to.
Without me, there won't be a devil
As for those, inbred, descendants of Cain claiming Chosen, when we finish work for Niggeria we will do what Hitler refused to do - burn those bastards in a heap to their god Moloch
The two (recession) posts u cited are saying the same thing, just that one is mischievously sugar-coating Buhari's recessionary failure.
Look at it this way: If "below 40%" is an "F," would you say a student who scored 5% is better than another student who scored 2%, especially, when both will be assigned an "F"? -6.0 and -3.0 are both signs of failure!
ethicallyright: Kudos to the Government of Nigeria and our great people for striving harder even in the face of adversity.
A good news for patriotic Nigerian citizens is a bad news for enemies of this country.
More like: "Nigerians be happy with ur suffering; ur level of suffering is the best inAfrica." The kind of poo you can tell a monkey. How is this good news?
U're in recession; and a white woman knowing how unintelligent u can be, is telling u that u're "growing," and as expected, it is good news to you.
Would she be bold enough to tell her countrymen this same nonsense if they were in recession?
Dapcity007: FUC K OFF SERIAL RAPiST and Abortionist Get out of my Nigeria to your so called progressive Nation like New Zealand where you heartless infant murderers rape your so called enpowered women ( 1 of 3 are raped or violated their ,an epidemic worse than corona)
My Nation is not suffering a Rape Epidemic like Sodom and Gommorah Thank my God My Religious liberty will be upheld by the constitution to prevent these demonic rape culture as it will never be normal in Nigeria like new Zealand
Sick man! Hold ur government accountable, stop blabbing about religion u know nothing about; u're a human who deserves the best; stop allowing ur government to treat u like a miserable animal (except u're one), while they use religion to sedate u into eternal zom.bie!
Amotolongbo: A monkey must have hacked this nairaland monicker to post this.
In the CCTV video shown at the sitting, it captured the arrival of the patrol vans and how it was approaching from Victoria Island.
The video showed how the protesters were receding after seeing the patrol van.
The video showed the siren of the van swirling where the military men were stationed.
[b]But the video could not show the activities of the military men and the blank shots into the air which military representative, General Ibrahim Taiwo, testified to affirmatively at the panel
These have been contradicting. Does that mean the military men didn’t act and the stone pelting at the military didn’t happen at all when they got to the scene as shown to us by the cctv video?
Or the Army General that came to the panel to report that blank bullets were shot into the air while the protesters were pelting them at the scene was lying because these were not in the video shown?
Only people with grey mater would understand what u wrote; the "zombified" SonsOfABiich trying to cover-up the Lekki massacre lack it.
Ya, I'm a F A O T simply because I tried to make u have sense and know ur priorities.
Continue being the SonOfABiich you are; don't hold ur use-less "leaders" accountable, keep blabbing about LGBTQ matter, while ur e-diotic "leaders" keep messing up ur future.
Una no dey learn? Barely five years ago, most of us thought if we could make Buhari the president, everything would fall in place. How far today?
Why do we keep wasting our time to prove a hypothesis that has proven to be wrong, when we can still explore other hypotheses?
If u like put the best human/leader in the world as the president of Nigeria, with this same system, Nigeria would rubbish that person. The SYSTEM is the problem, NOT the individual!
emekaayomide: The former Governor of Ekiti State Ayodele Fayose has claimed that the decision of the Governor of Ebonyi State Dave Umahi to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress has nothing to do with the Igbo nation.
