XANDERO85:
They're not even pretending.....the greed is so blatant and in-your-face!

Their confidence and cockiness to do what they're doing stems from the fact that they believe they're dealing with mugu southerners who are so daft, they're yet to realise they're being played! shocked
Summary! This exactly how I see it!! Nothing to add!!! The cockiness! The pride! The I don't care attitude! It's so brazen, it's suffocating! They award the contracts then send southern ministers to go and read it out and defend it! The nerve is out of this world!

Okoroawusa:
It wasn't even OBJ. Abacha started it by giving him sole licence of sugar and some cereals but it was OBJ that made Dangote a billionaire.
Abacha? Abacha was the one who actually tried to stop it because he wanted to empower his son who later died in a plane crash. That his son got into some lines of businesses that were initially being monopolised by dangote before the plane crash. Dangote ran away then... That sole license thing started in the 70s. Dangote got his in the 80s. He is used to this kind of noise against his activities. It doesn't touch him. His idea of business is to exterminate all opposition and impose his will afterwards..
PoliticsRe: These African Presidents Has Spent More Than 30 Years On Their Seat by Rugaria: 1:13pm On Nov 11, 2020
Nigeria has no serious foreign policy goals otherwise Cameroon and equitorial guinea should be having stooges imposed by nigeria as presidents by now. The two presidents there are very unpopular both locally and internationally, very corrupt with little to show for all their years in power that any coup sponsored by the Nigerian intelligence agencies will be celebrated by the locals. Such actions would have helped nigeria keep bakassi, helped Nigeria make more money through favourable oil deals in Equitorial Guinea etc. But then Nigerian military officials reached all sorts of sickening agreements with the western world between 1966 to 1971which has handcapped the country, especially, as it regards rspecting the French and the British spheres of influence in Africa. This is why these dictators flourish at Nigeria expense as was the case with bakassi.
PoliticsRe: #flashback: The Untold Story Of Nigeria's Civil War - BIAFRA by Rugaria: 12:39pm On Nov 11, 2020
NigerDeltaIgbos:
Now, I understand how, when and why Hausa/fulanis consider other Nigerians as conquered people. They actually saw Igbos as the only threat to them in exerting their dominance over Nigeria and once Biafra was defeated, they immediately assumed that they've conquered the rest of the country and that feeling has remained till this day.

I must also admit that the Biafrans fought a battle they were destined to lose, considering the limitless odds stacked against them. Even thousands of Chadians and Nigeriens were transported into Nigeria and they joined the Nigerian army to fight against the Biafrans. Add that the humongous stockpile of ammunition that kept arriving Nigeria in plane and shiploads. It's even amazing how the Biafrans were able to resist for 3 years in the face of all these challenges.

In essence, the Biafrans fought against not just Nigeria, but a coalition of forces that included Britain, Russia, Chad, Niger, Egypt, and Cameroun, countries that were all actively involved and coupled with a blockade against Biafra.

Nigeria vs Biafra war is unarguably one of the most one-sided war that was ever fought.
Wish we had the Russians by our side. All they wanted when Mbanefo visited them before the war was for Ojukwu to nationalise the oil companies. Ojukwu refused. Enahoro met them and promised to do so and they ordered their fleet in Egypt to join up with Gowon. Today the indimis have the oil wells.. If only we had the Russians by our side, just the Russians! The geo-political realities arising from that collabo would have been immensely helpful not just to the Biafrans but to Africa in general afterwards...

Biafra - Nigeria war!!!

NOT

Nigeria civil war.
It was NEVER a civil war!

It was a war between two countries; one, The beutifull Biafran! The land of the goalgetters.., a very authentic African state full of very industrious beings who showcased their proud African heritage with an unrivaled display of gallantry in the battle field armed with stunning homemade scientific discoveries.... The other a colonial wreck aptly termed nigeria. An eternal embarrassment to black Africa! A nasty disjointed retinue of inebriated cultures slavishly taking their orders from neo-colonial pulpits like wild Vandals in their quest to steal oil wells. The war ended with Nigeria becoming the biggest monument of shame for the black man! Eeeeewwww...
PoliticsRe: Why Was Obigbo/Oyigbo Taken Out Of Imo State And Carved Into Rivers State? by Rugaria: 11:36am On Nov 11, 2020
LegendHero:
It’s not called abandon, it’s respecting people’s right to exist no matter where they want and still maintain the spirit of brotherhood especially in situations beyond control.

Distance is sometimes inevitable among ethnicities and it’s only someone that’s trying to duel against reality that will be thinking all tribes must coexists inside one geographic boundary.

We have the Fulanis scattered across Africa, do you want to tell me Igbos have more ethic cohesion than the Fulanis? Should the Fulani then start waging war to bring their folks back to Nigeria or bring those in Nigeria back to Fouta Djallon and crying like babies daily?

You can see that the Yorubas no matter where they are don’t have identity crisis, this is because the major bloc of Yorubas in the SW give every Yoruba a sense of belonging which made them free to associate with the other Yorubas. Kwara and Kogi Yorubas were the ones spearheading the move to come back to be part of the SW and not Yorubas fighting them daily to become part of them.

I once met a guy here who looks Igbo and when I asked if he’s Igbo, he told me he is Ikwerre. A man from Kogi/Kwara will never tell you he is not Yoruba. Ask them, the first thing they will say is I’m Yoruba.

The Igboid groups like you said already carved out a new ethnic identity for themselves and that tells you some part of them want to dissociate from you Igbos and want to have their own distinct entity. What could be their reasons?

They are human beings who should have the right to associate and de-associate, you gotta respect their opinions.
Your sermon is not all that necessary here. We are talking of Igbo towns carved out of igboland and tossed to other areas where they're not comfortable. If they say vehemently that they're not interested in joining the motherland again, of course that should be respected. But here, in Obigbo, we have Obigbo indigenes being slaughtered by federal forces in their own land! Being told there are no igbos in Rivers State, yet being slaughtered for being Igbo in the same Rivers! And you are giving me examples of yoruba enclaves with no "identity crises". I can't remember accusing the Yorubas of having identity crises. I only said that military officers after the Nigeria- Biafra war, took it upon themselves to mutilate Igbo boundaries just to hem in the Igbo into the interior. And that those victimized communities are not getting it fair in the hands of their new brothers as is the case with Wike and Obigbo and Egbema. And since they want to be with their original siblings, every effort must be made to ensure this happens, either now or in the future. Very very simple if you ask me..

You guys are just too vain. What is Ohaneze saying about this? Nothing. Some group of people come together to talk about this, you mock them. But when the border is Opened, idiots Like you go rush go buy rice. Toxic people.
When it was closed the igbos railed against it and the rest of the country looked the other way! This was an evil policy never practiced anywhere else in the world. It's like imposing sanctions on your self! I know of many young traders ruined by this policy. The Igbo man is done complaining! Yoou termed it "wailing". . Survival mode activated!

Everybody is now complaining... The thought it will kill the "evil middlemen". Very segregative policies made to favour certain sections of the country against the other. Folks refused to talk earlier because they never knew they will be so effected. Noow the chickens have come home to roost.. How can you close your land borders for a whole full year while people are dying of hunger just because you want us to buy from your brothers? Meanwhile northern borders are all wide open. Where else is that done especially when the alternative supplies locally are almost non existent? Little by little, those who created this monster will all come to terms with the consequences of their actions. Hunger is here and it doesn't ask about your ethicity before attacking.

Okay o, but I will tell you this: you are fighting a lost battle.
Your efforts at taking oyigbo will make some states to be wary of granting you Biafra if referendum eventually scales through in the nearest future.
The battle has not even started! Lolz. You call this one battle? The important thing is that the indigenes of these areas are identifying with their relatives in the hinterlands. That's a very good sign. They're the ones who were just killed in their hundreds at Obigbo. They won't forget, the same way the ikwerres who9 are the perpetrators of the killings always boast of never forgetting whatever the igbos did to them. When the battle for the soul of Nigeria starts, the battle for their freedom will also commence..

You are getting old oo!

Time is going, do fast!

And many other words like these...

I mean, will they be there to feed my family when I'm into the marriage? I don't know why Africa is so obsessed with marriage of a thing.

For crying out loud, I'll be just 29.

The numbers of married men disturbing me for financial assistance daily ehn. That's a turn off to get married soon.

Your opinion please.
We dey the same bus bros, e no easy! They have finished me! All my aunties, uncles name them. And I'm older than you! They will give me bp. Visiting home is scary because everywhere I go, a relative will pull me by the side to ask me why I have refused to marry even though everything is ready? My mother has turned it into a prayer point, I mean it's starting to look like I'm going to marry to satisfy my relatives not necessarily because it's the most burning issue in my mind! You can't imagine the pressure! But these days, I'm starting to get in the mood, problem is that i have not been lucky with the gals recently. It's terrifying, the pressure! These people will push you to marry and if you end up with the wrong partner and the house turns into Madison square garden, where Tyson will be entertaining hollyfied every night, they will all be at their homes blaming you again! It's scary how my so-called marriage has become a communitys business!

VaselineCrew:
Last I checked, this is still a capitalistic society, am ah right? am ah right huh

If you feel you can produce cement cheaper, why not go ahead, after all, the customer is king right?

This reminds me of those Buhari price control stories I used to hear, chai!

That's how Nigerians are always disturbing the likes of DSTV. Did someone force you to watch DSTV? Is DSTV like electricity? Roads? Rail?... which are all your rights? Shouldn't you be more concerned with making sure you get the services you pay for without being cheated, rather than being concerned with banning the service itself?

Funny.

If me I know how to produce cement for N500, I will sell it for N1000 if my overhead allows for such cost price. That way I will undercut every single seller out there and become a billionaire.

Did the government have to force MTN to reduce sim prices or did competition force them to?
Your argeument is is not totally straightforward.

In the first place, Cement production used to be in the exclusive list before liberalisation of the economy.
Secondly, the make up of the producers and the way they seem to set prices not related to market realities , suggest they're starting to act like some monopolistic cartel.
Thirdly, it's the duty of the government to protect consumers from monopolies and over pricing. That's why we have the consumer protection agency. Dangote and co get tax waivers and licences to open quarries and mine minerals to subsidize their production abilities. These were done to help them manufacture cheaply. That iddea of cheaper cement, has now been defeated.
Finally, Government imposed bans on importation of cement to help local producers compete. If those local operators start to abuse the process by selling at prices higher than imported ones, government should step in and help the economy by applying appropriate sanctions.
Regulating anti business practices by manufacturers is part of the responsibilities of the government. That's still capitalism at play...

There were agitations in the middle belt and the Midwest. The Midwest came into fruition before the war and the subsequent balkanization by Gowon and his gang. So yeah! Without equivocation, southern nigeria as a group is imaginary! It was reinvented by the North and Obasanjo post 1999 to alternate power between the fulani and the Yorubas. The fulani representing the north and Obasanjo filling in for the Yoruba/south. There is nothing like the North and the South. Political interests domiciled in the east are different in many ways from those of the north or the west.
