If only these guys can be allowed to go on Olympic Kidnapping competition, i can guarantee them stealing the gold medals the day it is made, probably before the competition starts and make every keyword that that will be used to against them in the court of law miss from the dictionary. . . Lol, these guys will soon start going after pregnant women to command higher ransom. Chia !!! . . .

A source please?

Lies! Lies!! Lies!!!
Every region sustained themselves and contributed fraction of their earning to the center. The North benefited from the central contribution scheme more than any other group, before and after discovery of oil.

The unpredictable and unwarranted drama always has a way of playing out in favour of Goodluck Jonathan, when you couple that with the policies and personalities scattered all over his phony government, it becomes clear what president J is up to.

When most students can hardly use English fluently. Fashola should apply maturity in whatever he chooses to do with our language here, There is no place like home, our Language and culture defines our home to a large extent.

kettykin: Musiwa your line of argument is good however it does not follow well when you consider that ondo gets more from. The federation account than IMO but produces less graduates / manpower .

The Yorubas have had countless opportunities to form a republic and at each occasion when the opportunity comes they beat a retreat and join the Arewas in chorusing one nigiriya .
Of recent they were shouting regional integration and how the want to build rail lines here and there , upto the extent of deporting some street people to onitsha everyone took the Yorubas seriously ,particularly with the banning of okada mainly operated by aboki . To observers odua region was just a matter of seconds until last week when I received the shock of my life during the public debates on the constitution when the whole of south west rattan than canvass the restructuring of the federation started chorusing statusquo and creation of 5 more states .

Whether in or out of Nigeria, progress of the Yorubas is still the key and is very much on course. Its all about being in a vantage position.

Jarus: I wonder why people didn't know the OP is Becomrich.

With all those sophisticated Engrish?

kettykin: The statistics is quite revealing Oyo state bigger than Igbo land / SE . But just IMO state alone produces more graduates than the whole of oyo,ogun,ondo put together. I can see that oyo is also the dirtiest state in Nigeria while IMO is the cleanest

lol . . . Are u kidding? Osun state alone produces as much grads as Abia, Ebonyi and Enugu put together.

bilms: Have you not noticed that president Goodluck Jonathan without sounding rude has become like a disease, that when anyone is infected with it, that person lost every sense of justice,reasoning and good judgement? I do not mean to sound insulting,but i just couldn't explain the reason why most people claiming to be in support of gej lack reason even before undisputable facts and figure.

STD or genetic disease?

obitwo: Sometimes I wonder how we reason in this country

What's stops any Igbo person from listening to them via the internet?

They need to blame others for their cowardice

Yet Idiotic ''People Decieving People'' are interested in ''taking The SW back'' into their wilderness.

^^ America is still far away to me, what matters more to me is our own national security in Nigeria.

Enabling environment it is . . .

The hospitals and cemetry up north are virtually the same people die in one and need the other for burial.

Callotti: The difference between a BLACK man and a WHITE man!
One lives as a manufacturer of ideas, and the other dies a consumer of products!

Then who manufactures the products?

Where were u guys when Some of these churches bought fleet of large buses for their congregation? Or if people didn't buy Warren Buffet's jet will he be the owner of the biggest jet manufacturing co.? Besides i don't think we need to wait until the government bans Cars b4 we start thinking in the right direction. . .

Come 2015 we av to be careful of those guys with "Na our oyel" mentality. If not for the fact DAM is part and parcel of the Gej corruption setup meant to reclaim "Our Oyel", why hasn't she tow the path of Nnaji and resign?

If the pastors themselves go get it, we get complains of pastors feeding fat on the sweat of their 'poor' congregation . . . Now lets see how the 'prosperity hating' brothers spin this one . . . probably, "the congregation have been Brainwashed".

Governor Fashola is about to bite more than he can chew, what he is doing definitely won't go down well with the North and the central PDP caucus - those who prefer to assume Lagos' population is ~10 million.

So what's the big deal if Lagos go to the East to buy land? Hmn

ekt_bear: It isn't really the # of wives you marry that is important. It is female fertility...# of children a woman has over her lifetime.

After all, if a northern man has 4 wives, that means that his brothers are going without (well, temporarily ignoring a minor effect that I don't think is so relevant).

Without wives can female children be concieved under a well structured family cycle system? Its like eggs and chickens. We are probably both right and both wrong depending on which one existed first - Adam and Eve story.

seyibrown:

The bolded is more reason why it is totally ridiculous that the percentages have been consistent for all states in the study. Death, birth and migration rates would have affected the percentages. The Northern census figures were falsified right from the start and the trend is still being upheld by the traitors who have been continuosly recycled in our leadership. A proper census is one of the steps needed to move Nigeria forward. How do you budget and provide for a nation correctly when the statistics are totally wrong? No wonder our leaders keep behaving as if this country is a farce; they know it is a farce! We are one day closer to the end of this madness!

+10

Prof Corruption: I laughed really hard. That's Nigeria for you. It's a mere extrapolation and nothing more. The 1963 formula was adopted when Awolowo systematically demolished the nonsense called 1973 figures. Since then, check 1991, it's all the same formula.

Just create a National ID for everyone linked to all essential stuff like phone number, bank account number, driver licence, then the fraud is over.

Add voter card registration and satelite monitoring system to the bold and the north only hope will be the manipulation of their sharia system to subvent the above stated.

I honestly agreed with you but it is unfortunate you hide the fact that it is the Northerners that marry early, have more than one wife and they don’t practice family planning. The problem of an average Southerner is hypocrisy that why the Western World even though most of you accepted their religion didn’t trust. I am sorry if i hurt you but that is the fact.

The average northerner marries early, does less of family planning! Yes, i agree, but they also have higher child-birth death, and on the average produce less children. One northern male married to four wives on the average will have atmost 4 kids from each wife. That leaves us with 5 parents and 16 children unlike the south where 2 parents on the average will have 5 children between them. Work out the ratios and see what you get for the north vs south. The result is far from the general public assumption. The only thing the north has going for them is their large landmass. Tarring roads will cost more in each northern state than in a southern state. That's all.

Gbawe:

Indeed. I followed the whole census thing fastidiously in 2006. The expectation was high that OBJ would supervise a truthful head-count of Nigerians. Alas, the man could only disappoint and , as always, his actions of gross cheating exemplified a life spent disenfranchising many through unfair, desperate and "do-or-die" antics. If the man is not conducting rigged elections he is supervising bogus population census. The common theme with OBJ's actions was the concept of never letting justice, equity or the 'will of the people' carry the day.

Of course it was preposterous , as an example, for anyone to claim Lagos was less populated than Kano. It was a dastardly plan, coarse and brazen in execution, to perpetuate the unfairness and injustice Nigeria is built on.

I followed it also and was amazed at how the whole scam population ratio was maintained under OBJ's watch. That singular act alone represents one of his greatest betrayal of the the average southerner.

No biggie! Atleast if you ask me. The position of Chancellor has always been a ceremonial one or more appropriately honorary all through Nigerian history.

Now forever keep calm.

Scam. A reliable source please? Not one hurriedly uploaded to a community site.

Scam thread! Scam thread!! Scam thread!!!
Give us source, a reference material, don't tell me it has been on the net or it suddenly jumped from no where in the public domain. Give us a source please.

Andre Uweh:
Before I use the north, tell me if a sane person will require a source to prove that OPC and Afenifere use yoruba language for deliberations.

Must you make every thread a Yoruba vs Igbo thread? You did not have to mention Yoruba at all, atleast for the avoidance of trouble. Btw, my original question still remains . . . Source?

SOH KAH TOA: Can any one point at where the minister of petroleum was said to have been indicted? That corruption was purportedly to have been carried out in your ministry doesn't make you culpable as she's not God to know everything and why the essence of this committee led by nuhu ribadu. This is not holding brief for anybody but I think this call is not necessary until they got a concrete evidence linking the minister to the said shady deals.

The report they say had so many 'damning revelations'. If i may ask, under whose watch did the whole episode tøok place?

Andre Uweh:
Did I say Yoruba is the opposite of Igbo.
If OPC or Afenifere are having a meeting, only an insane person will ask what language they use in their deliberation.
I don't really understand your logic here. Quit the thread if you have nothing useful to say. Are you suggesting that am wrong by claiming that these Igbo warriors saw one another as Igbo, spoke Igbo to one another and Igbo language used in their plan and execution of the war.
Do you need to buy a brain to understand what I mean?.

Why didn't u use the North were hausa is more of an official language or use another example? As i said before, Source please? I am waiting.

Andre Uweh:
What sort of source?. If I suggest that Afenifere or OPC members use yoruba language as a means of discussion, whould any sane person ask for a source?.

Yoruba is not the Opposite of Igbo.
