That's why England will never be as successful as France. English media subtle racism towards black players will only spell more doom for their National team. Even Germany is towing that path. Their Media have started campaigning for more white players in their national team.

I wonder if France will ever win any world cup without black players. They also wanted to remove black players from their team which gave them a very poor show in Brazil 2014 and the world cup in 2010. They had to retrace their steps.

In my view, this project if actually completed will compliment Lagos, by creating another industrial hub and modern city around Warri Environs. It will help in relieving congestion and job opportunities for our people. Beside in 2014 President Jonathan in 2014, went there to commission the Gas Revolutionary and Industrial Park. Warri, Port Harcourt and Uyo are in Strategic location that makes them appealing for massive industrial project, this is supported by the abundant amount of oil and gas in their environs.

I don't think anyone has to fear that the development of these areas would mean Lagos would collapse, rather they are suppose to work in synergy with Lagos. This is why the Coastal highway initiated by President Tinubu linking these cities is a welcome development,

The bold is a very moot point which is invalidated by the spate of bank robberies in Nigeria in recent times . Since around 2014 to this year, we’ve seen a pattern of robbery incidents whereby armed robbers (despite knowing how banks are well guarded) carry out large scale bank robberies .

They literally lit up the nearest police police stations which are well guarded with armed officers, then proceed to sack various banks with heavy shelling. At least this has happened in Kogi state multiple times , Ekiti state multiple times, Benue state , Offa Kwara state, etc to mention a few .

The robbers are aware of the level of resistance that the security agents in the banks and even the first responders can pose and they plan well ahead for it.

That should tell u that u having a gun to fight back won’t stop the criminal , but it will only make him more vicious in his attacks . One of my bosses used to say “ U can’t predict the mind of a criminal “. U can’t sit down as a law abiding citizen and start saying maybe if u do this( like carrying a gun on u) , the criminal will not attack u.

My dear brother, I read am, I no go lie. However the truth is multinationals are fleeing Nigeria. I have worked in several multinationals and still work in one - and I know very well that even with global lay-offs (which I have both handled before and sufferred from) multinationals choose where to play their cards at such moments - and what countries to lay more people off in, intelligently, for their profit. Right now, Nigeria is not making a good case for their attention, especially with its shrinking economy. Consider carefully the impact of an over 500 Billion Dollar economy as at 2014 which has shrank sharply to half that size - with the devaluation of our currency contributing much to that in that last one year alone.

Then think again.

Stop arguing blindly, have you ever been to Delta State. I can bet that you have never been there. Do you know that the stool of "Olu of Warri" is traditionally that of itsekiris. Do you know the land mass occupied by itsekiris in Delta. The riverine and coastal areas of Delta is predominantly occupied by Ijaws.

See I like intelligent contributions, google is your friend; you can research about itsekiris.

They migrated to Delta. The itsekiris will be doing themselves a disservice if they choose to remain in Delta and want to be under Southwest region. It will be a disaster for them.

Your points about regional system of government are well taken and understood in areas of healthy competition and others but get your facts right.

It has a lot of disadvantages, to group the itsekiris under southwestern region, for the itsekiris and even the southwestern regional government

If YOU had read the article with an open mind, and without emotions, you would have seen where it was stated that it's just a DRAFT subject to "additions and subtractions." It's NOT a final document. The whole thing might even be rejected!

Even the man's CLEAR reference in the draft to the Itsekiris and the Yoruba-speaking parts of Edo would be subject to their choice [NOT an imposition]. So, it is left for other ethnicities to unanimously make their own representations to be grouped together based on their own choices just like the man who did the draft said the Itsekiris would do. During the GEJ 2014 National Conference, the Itsekiris and Yoruba-speaking areas of Kwara and Kogi States decided they wanted to be with their kith and kin in the West of Nigeria. The Ijebu-Yorubas and Ilaje-Yorubas of Ogun State and Ondo State are directly related to many Itsekiri communities because it was from those Ijebu and Ilaje communities that many Itsekiris of today ancestrally descended from over 600 years ago. The language dialect that Itsekiris of Delta State speak is understandable to many Ijebus, Ilajes, and Ikale subgroups of the larger Yoruba people historically. The oil and gas-rich Ilajeland in Ondo State and the oil and gas-rich Itsekiriland share direct boundaries as cousins. Every year when the Yoruba intelligentsia and all Obas have their usual big meetings of Yoruba descendants, the past Olus of Warri usually send some of their High Chiefs such as High Chief Ayomike and others to attend and this also includes the attendance by Oba's of Yoruba towns and cities such as Porto Novo (Ajase), Ketu kingdom, etc, in Benin Republic and Togo Republic.

After reading a couple of pages on this thread, I noticed that some Ibos were also quoting you and blindly following your incorrect assumptions here and then started passing highly irresponsible insults at the man who made the supposed draft and Yoruba folks in general which to me amounts to emotional weakness... Is English comprehension such a difficult thing for some of you people of Eastern Nigeria Ibo descent?

The major reason those guys have the guts to attack people like that is because they know there won't be any resistance...even the mere thought of the persons they're attacking being armed is enough to dissuade them. On the flip side, there are several countries where the citizens don't strap like militants yet they don't suffer same fates...fixing the problem of insecurity by democratizing gun usage is like treating the symptoms of a disease instead of the disease itself.

There is no injustice towards the ibo in particular, what we have Nigeria today is the injustice of the ruling classes towards the rest of us

I am. I know loads of people here are very condescending when people talk about doing IT for passion. But trust me there are ton of folks doing it for passion. Not like they aren’t interested in money o, but if there was no money in it, many of us would still be In this grind. I mean heck, we studied computing when there were hardly any computers in the country. And we still learned to program purely for “fun”. I remember buying my first Laptop (a Toshiba work horse) in 2002. Everyone thought I was mad. Same experience when I “blew” money importing a Raspberry Pi in 2014. With passion, the financial benefits will always follow.


I’m not saying that those who are driven by ”sapa” aren’t top notch. To each their own.

What mpappe said is true. In the world cup, they will give u one useless team from Oceania, another useless one from Asia, and an unserious african team. Like joke like joke u will find yourself in the semi final the final and possibly win th competition. When all through u played only 1 serious team.

Edwin Clark, convener of the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), says President Bola Tinubu should ensure the restructuring of the country to sustain its unity.

Clark spoke in an open letter addressed to President Bola Tinubu.

In the letter dated June 13, the PANDEF convener alleged that discrimination against the people of the south-east region has continued under the administration of Tinubu.

“Mr. President, even in your administration, the discrimination and injustice against the Igbos have not abated,” the letter reads.

“The old Eastern Region and the old Western Region, of which I belonged to, were equal competitors and partners before and during the First and Second Republic but today, you have appointed 10 Yorubas as Ministers from the South-West and only five Ministers from the South-East and you even failed to give them the ministerial appointment due to their region that would have made it six Ministers.

“There is no justification for this grave omission, and no effort has been made to correct it.

“The most recent opportunity the Igbos had to rebuild their broken leg was when their disunity, selfishness, and greed made the popular Igbo candidate, Mr. Peter Obi of the Labour Party, lose the election because most Igbos refused to unite behind him with their resources before and during the election, and voting for him massively in the South-East on the election day was like medicine after death.

“Now that the elections are over, we must face the restructuring of this country.”

Clark said the country should be restructured if it must remain one.

“I repeat again, the immediate restructuring of Nigeria must be carried out if this country is to remain one, and I appeal to Mr. President to take immediate action to implement the historic 2014 National Conference Report, which submitted 600 recommendations to the Presidency on how to restructure Nigeria in every aspect of our lives,” he said.

“The Igbos of South-East or wherever they are in Nigeria, must stand up and assert their rights legitimately, judiciously, and in a democratic way to benefit like any other Nigerian, as it was before the civil war of 1967.”

The elder statesman said the people of the south-east deserve to have a sense of belonging in Nigeria.

“All that is required is for us to demonstrate reciprocal respect, love, and understanding to one another,” the PANDEF convener said.

“Let us do what is right; let us accommodate one another and be fair to one another.”

Yoruba man and sense.

You proposed that Yoruba speaking part of Kwara and Kogi, and even some part of Delta and Edo state be merged with south west to form Western region.

But in the case of south east, you didn't propose that the Igbo speaking part of Rivers, Delta, Benue, Kogi, Cross River, etc be merged together to form South Eastern region, rather to show your true colour of hatred, you are proposing that the Ohaji/Egbema region, one of the oil producing LGAs in southern imo state be removed from South East to form part of Southern/Niger Delta region. Is it not shameless daylight witchcraft?

The Itshekiri leaders have already assent to be joined with the West due to their mistrust of Ijaws ....This is contained in the 2014 confab reports as Well as the Okun people of Kogi and kwara state.....
It's the minority of the Old eastern region that are jittery of going back to Enugu as Capital ...

The only issue I have with the proposal is the request to join Itsekiri in Delta to South West region.

I think it is not feasible or necessary especially die to geographical location.

I think the proposal that Yoruba speaking people of Edo,Kogi and Kwara to join the South Western region is in order however subject to the decision of the people of those Yorubas speaking areas to decide.
