"LMMFAO. . . . Bashali is obviously Nigeria1"

I could bet my last dime that they are one and the same.

AS A NORTHERNER I AM CONCERN, I DO BELIEVE NIGERIA SHOULD BE DIVIDED INTO TWO. I BELIEVE UMAR YAR ADUA WOULD BE DOING A DISSERVICE TO THE NORTH, IF HE DOES NOT REMOVE THE YORUBAS AND EDO AND DELTA STATE FROM NIGERIA. YOU MAT ASK WHY.

LOOK, I LIVE IN LONDON AND I HAVE ALSO SEEN THE SATELLITE PICTURE THAT BARAWO CALLED NIGERIA1 ONE IS POSTING. THIS IS A CONCERN FOR ME. SINCE DEMOCRACY IS ABOUT POPULATION. I SEE FROM THE PICTURE THE YORUBAS ARE MORE THAN MY PEOPLE. I BELIEVE WE NORTHERN HAVE TO BE SMART WITH THIS THING. IF WE ALLOW THE YORUBAS AND BENIN AND DELTA STATE REMAIN IN NIGERIA. I CAN SEE THEM DOMINATE US WITH THIER POPULATION UNDER DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM.

THE BEST SOLUTION I CAN SEE IS TO REMOVE THEM FROM NIGERIA, AND WE WOULD STILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE OIL AND SEA WITHOUT THE YORUBAS AND STILL KEEP OUR MAJORITY STATUS. IF WE DO NOT ACT FAST, WE NORTHERNER RE GOING TO BE MINORITY. I HAVE SEEN THE GOOGLE SATELLITE PICTURE AND I WAS SHOCK HOW ACCURATE THIS PICTURE ARE . MY HOME TOWN LOOK BEAUTIFUL FROM SATELLITE.

IF WE REMAIN THE YORUBAS, FROM NIGERIA, WE WOULD HAVE A MAJORITY OF 60% OF MORE. BUT THIS SATELLITE PICTURE HAVE DETROY OUR PEOPLE MAJORITY. WE JUST NEED TO REMOVE THE YORUBAS , BENIN AND DELTA FROM NIGERIA. WE CAN WORK WITH THE IGBO, THEY DO NOT HAVE SO MUCH POPULATION. AND WE WOULD STILL HAVE RIVERS, CROSS RIVERS, AKWA IBOM AND HAVE ACCESS TO THE SEA. WE DO NOT NEED THE YORUBAS AND BENIN AND DELTA STATE.

I CAN SEE EVEN IF WE REMOVE THEM, WE WOULD STILL HAVE ABOUT 1.8 MILLION BARREL OF OIL PER DAY. WHICH IS STILL OK. THE BARAWO YORUBAS ARE TAKEN MORE THAN THEY PRODUCES.

I BELIEVE AREWA (AFC) SHOULD CALL THE PRESIDENT TO REMOVE THE YORUBAS , BENIN AND DELTA STATE FROM NIGERIA. IT MOST BE DONE BEFORE THE NEXT ELECTION. IF NOT YAR ADUA MAY NOT WIN THE ELECTION. HE AS TO REMOVE THE YORUBAS , BENIN AND DELTA STATE FROM NIGERIA TO WIN. THEY MAKE UP TOO MUCH . [quote][/quote]OMG! Who granted u access to the UK. I now know why their economy, UK, is on a downward slide (lol)

loto, Akika

when did sugar cane become a staple food

ok boy, makes it even worse

Jo now my dear, think. How much energy can u get from those. Yes, I know solar is quite viable but what to extent can the available te chnology harness it. How best bet is biofuel. It is safe, renewal and controllable.

Auwal for a 21 year old girl, i don't know what to say. Tried and make more friends, especially those from the south. Also try and read more magazines (times, economists etc) maybe, just may be u ,

U so that i use my cane on u for touching ur daddy's computer.

shows u ve never been into a science lab. Have u heard of the spirit lamp, it is used in most bilogical labs, cause it burns only the burn light which is alot more environmentally friendly than the carbon light.

U re 2 light years behind.

when it come to environmental friednliness, ethanlo is 5 times better than carbon fuel. It is also a renewal energy source. That is what we shd be aiming at. Anyway not 100litres per day, that is outrageous, that wont last my household enoguh for 2 days

Brazil is one of the world's leading producers of natural gas. OMG

The only with an Igbo alone country is that, there be just too many money ritualist, dangerous drug barons, too many okija, too many armed robbers etc

But they would be the best footballing nation in Africa.

crap. Ethanol pollution, ur chemistry teacher should be jailed

Seun

for the very first time ever u've disappointed me. Dont tell me u dont know that 60% of the enrgy consumed in Brazil is gotten from Ethanol.

Auwal

kindly stop embarrashing the north with ur posts. Libya could have been a better model.

Should Nigeria divide, I foresee the following happening:

- the economy of the North would immediate go into red due to over reliance on oil revenue and with little or no form of man-power resources or technology to accommodate the shock. The foreign exchange earning of the region would come close to zero. Although there might some inflow of cash in the form of aids and grants from various Arabian countries. Things might stabilise over time, but I don't see the nation doing any better than the likes of Niger and Chad.

- the Igbo would be the least affected. Attracting foreign earnings into the region would definitely not be a difficult task, the region is bound to be major supplier of man power and technology to the neighbouring Niger Delta. The only problem I foresee in the region might be in term of infrastructure. Might take the nation a while to build up the social and economy infrastructures to sustain a thriving economy, but given the ingenius and industrious nature of the eastern overcoming this challenge might not be so difficult. There is bound to be a civil war in the first 10 years of the country's existence, because i can't imagine Igbos living together given their rancorous nature

- the Niger delta would be replica of the present day Nigeria. Especially with current crop of youth and leaders the region parades. There would be alot of money in the region, most of which will end up in Igboland.

- Next to the North, the west would be the worst hit. The region's over reliance on money from the central government in the old Nigeria and the people's uncanny penchant for paid employment would definitely be it's major draw back. But unlike the North, because of the abundance of man-power resources, might only take a while before the region recovers from the initial shock. Also because of the accommodating nature of the people and it numerous ports, it might actually end up being the economy capital of West Africa.

My thinking, i might be terribly wrong.

Blackspade, what ties does MTN or Celtel have with Abuja?

Blackspade

Are u deliberating trying to be 'thickskulled' or it's simply u. Please read your last post and think through it.

what happened after the move to abuja was that lagos continued to be the commercial hub of the country and till this day experience massive immigration. people from ogun state and oyo state actually come to work in lagos!!!!!! most of the stock exchange activities happens in lagos. although not a capital, lagos is easily the london or new york of nigeria.
How many people live in slums in Lagos, compared to how many people live in slums in Abuja? It's a fact more funding goes into Abuja, than in Lagos. If Nigeria were to split, Lagos would have an extreme economic failure because most companies there have very close ties with Abuja.

lol@northerners looking up to non-arable Niger as an example. chei
Niger can be arable, they would just need a large amount of money to prepare the soil! Dubai has worse climate than Niger, but they get it done.

Pls stop insulting Nigeria. Comparing us in anyway to Niger Republic is nothing short of an insult.

Jakumo - The escalation to full blown war in the Niger Delta has been decades in the making, but now Nigeria stands on the edge of the abyss, peering down into the bowels of hell, having been drawn inexorably to that point by the combined forces of history, government neglect, greed and criminality.

Now that critical mass has been conclusively attained, anyone expecting this conflict to remain localised to the Niger Delta is bound to be in for a reality check before long, when sparks from the battle front are carried by the winds of war to ignite conflict and terror in areas of Nigeria previously considered distant, safe and immune from the trauma of the Delta's free-fire zones.[quote][/quote]the simple truth.

Aunty

calling someone a satirist aint no name calling, could infact be a compliment. Stop being santimonious

@planner

am so sure u re quotesyste just camouflaging

@rhino

Hell no

tpia

se bi omo yoruba ni e, read between the line now. Ta ba ma mobo, ama se bi obo ni.

Igbos are wonderful people, infact I pray I get to marry an Igbo lady. But if there is one bad thing the Igbos are guilty of, it is bigotry, ethnocentricism and me-against the world attitude. Pardon me if it sounds like am castigating or pointing fingers, but I sincerely think these my great neighbours need to desist from these acts if they are going to ever live up to their great potentials.

People need to be able to trust you and relate with you before they can trust leadership into your hands.

Finally coming out in ur true colours - I hate hyprocrites. Personally though, I agree with u, Nigeria needs to stop paying lip service to the development of the Niger Delta.

bawolomo

Trading and commerce indeed, what do u think is stimulating the trade and the commerce? Let the over 90% income from oil stop and u think and u would see how seemingly boomking Lagos economy would vaporise.

At the moment, oil is very thing to the country. And it is going to take a lot of restructuring to change this. If u ask me, I think the states in the east have a better chance of surviving if the country divides.
