Onlytruth:
I don't think you understand, but I never contradicted myself. The north is dangling this issue knowing how sensitive it is. Mind you, I can have my fears but keep them to myself. That doesn't mean others will do the same (which is why the north is dangling it!). I'm only lamenting the fact that Jonathan created that room. He could have mapped out other funds for this. My concern is for Jonathan not to fall into an evil stratagem. OBJ never liked the south east -I would even say the whole EAST. It takes a very smart dude to follow OBJs schemes.

hennnn he never liked the EAST but the first southern minister of defense(after the civil war) was of igbo extraction was appointed by Obj.

Obj isnt a tribalist and isnt against east or igbos - igbo people just dont listen.

Onlytruth:
Tell that fo'olish boy sjeezy8! I don't think he even read the whole thing.

In any case, why should that be the first thing Jonathan did as acting president? There are many other things to do: sacking Morris Iwu and initiating electoral reforms, stabilizing power supply. You know why he hasn't done those? Because Obasanjo is advising him. Anyday Jonathan adopts Uwais report and fires Iwu is the day we will start to take him serious.
It was a wrong move by him. He sent the wrong message. He needs smart advisers from the south east and south south -that is HIS BASE. From there he should get other good intentioned smart Nigerians to work for the benefit of all.

What are you saying without morris Iwu a christian southerner wouldnt even smell the presidency in a free and fair election.

Ibime:
Only a mugu would attribute the decision to halt River Niger dredging to Obasanjo and some fabled anti-Northern or anti-Eastern agenda.

If anyone had cared to ask, this dredging issue is a hot button topic amongst all Niger-Deltan peoples. MEND had warned Yar'Adua against the project due to ecological reasons, and now this pressure will also be brought to bear on Jonathan.

Only an ethnic bigot would even bring this up as an issue because Jonathan has only done what is recommended in the Environmental Impact report. He has not halted the project, but suspended it pending the shoring up of lower Niger shorelines as recommended in the Environmental report. . . this has always been the contention from the riverine-dwelling folk of the lower Niger Delta.

Whilst we want development for all upland areas, it should not be done to our detriment and possible loss of villages and livelihood.

Therefore if you like, you can call it a Niger-Delta agenda. . .  .but there is no need to infer political sabotage by OBJ to explain away its cancellation.

This is just another ploy by the Northern cabal to pit Southerners against each other. Beware!

I agree somewhat - I see it as the only thing the North can use to sway SE its way.

Onlytruth:
I don't think anybody in the south east is falling for it, but you don't want to give anybody any reasons not to support Jonathan. He needs support from allies he can trust, not people of dubious past.

clown you stated before:

Onlytruth:
When Jonathan was emerging acting president, I was concerned that he may take advise from the wrong people.
When he did this, I smelled Obasanjo's divide and rule.  I knew it won't be long before he is called to order. Who has been advising him? I know there is enough money to do both projects, why did he

you jus contradicted yourself saying "you dont think anyone in the SE will fall for it" but before you said
Jonathan is acting on behalf of Objs "Divide and rule" tactic between the SE and SS.
There will be easterners like you who will look at it that way.

You people esp Onlytruth ODE boy make no damn sense. What is Obasanjos divide and rule tactic? Jonatahn wanted to used that money from the River Niger Project to go into land reclamation in the ND and it makes sense hes putting money where it should be.

The SAME Notherners that dont want a southerner esp igbo to become presido are the same people who are ONLY aligning themselves with the SE because they know that dredging the river niger is the only way they can have access to transporting goods along the river niger to North Nigeria.

Not Dregding the river Niger is more of a blow to the North - than it is to igbos- igbos still have rivers state abi?

Why is the SE falling for the norths bullshit? The SE should first ask the north to vote on a bill for true federalism before they agree on anything with the north. duh!

OYB_MEND:
This is dumb politics

What is the benefit of suspending the River Niger projects which benefits all of Nigeria?
There is need to decongest Lagos and PH seaports
The North and South East hold the project dear.
If he truly cancels this project or starves it of funds then he is in trouble.

If they hold it dear the SE should ask the north to grant federalism and the extra state in the SE. The SE isnt suffering like the north.
The north is ONLY aligning themselves with the EAST because the north needs access to the sea, so does the SE but the SE should use PH for now just to spite the North.
The north isnt meeting ANY of the SE demands except the dredging of the river and that is ONLY because it benefits the north also.

Southerners are too foolish short sighted and just dont think.

hahaha lmfao funny yooooo

the article doesnt say annything about leavinig Nigeria for igbos to the north majority over them.

Tired of everyone crying northerners dominate the army while southerners themselves indulge in militancy and not the army- to level the playing field.

Common sense would tell yorubas, igbos, ndeltans to up their ethnic groups in the army - so they all can be somewhat equal.
Im just wondering why are southerners sooooo DUMB?!

Evereyone wants to leave Nigeria as if its easy, the easiest thing to do is enlist jobless youths across the south in the army and increase pay to make it more attractive. duh
look at obj when he became president from 99-07 what did he do?

In what can be termed as reminiscent of the 1999 mass sacking of military officers of Northern extraction, a fresh wave of early retirement for officers from the North is again commencing. But unlike in 1999 when the affected officers accepted their fate silently, this time senior officers in the Nigerian Army who were recently retired compulsorily have petitioned President Obasanjo seeking redress over what they perceived as malicious treatment.

Uranium deposits discovered in six Nigerian states
Uranium deposits of "great value" have been discovered in six Nigerian states, the News Agency of Nigeria reported on Oct. 17, 2005, but no details were given. Deposits have been discovered in the states of Cross River, Adamawa, Taraba, Plateau, Bauchi and Kano,

http://www.wise-uranium.org/upafr.html

They have it
The north isnt a poor region its just their mentality of keeping majority of people poor with few elites thats so retrogressive.

MEND can always join the army no one asked them not to. So who are they really hurting besides themselves if they all joined the Nigerian army, you think NORTHERN JTF would have the guts to come in the ND and start shooting people? NO

and uhhh yea SW has gold, gas, oil, bitumen,largest agriculture etc . . .

and the north has vast minerals also and they can do without Oil the just dont want to.

Nigeria isnt holding anyone back.
The so called north only does to the south what souterners let them do. When you ahve southerners supporting the north on issues like this, then the north feels they have the souths approval.

Until there are NO southerners bending - The north will do what it wants because they dont make decisions without the opinion of atleast some southern leaders.

Northern senators accuse S/South colleagues of frustrating hand over to Jonathan

“What is happening now is a complete mess; tomorrow, we are going to let the whole world know that[b] some senators from the South South are frustrating moves to hand over to Jonathan”. He said “what we learnt is that two governors from the South South are vehemently opposed to Jonathan taking over, in addition to a former governor from the zone who is also against the hand over [/b] but we must resolve this tomorrow”.

Im not blind - so what i read here is that there are also some southsouth leaders against johnny boy. so people should stop lying to themselves.
Its childish . . . .

omg wtf
Road conditions have nothing to do with armed robbers doing this. Cause even if you are driving along the best roads in naija robbers can still put a road block up - its mroe about security not roads.
these pics are CRAZY

“We believe in the oneness and unity of Nigeria. We have fought for it and we trust in it. The Nigerian Constitution is what binds all of us together. If it is subverted, then there is no basis of our continued mutual existence.

ehnnn so you people fought on Nigeria side also hmmm didnt know

@Do they think Nigeria is a small country that they can walk away from?

what there needs to be is southern unity of somesort(ss+se+sw). But I mean they should call out their own southsouth people within the cabal and all the senators/govs in the southsouth that voted against Jonathan being acting president.

its easy to say yea "we the southsouth want to leave" without mentioning the antijonathan south south people like Ibori, Sylva+ others who collaborating and within the cabal.

Jonathan: South-South Reps Back Yar’Adua

The South-South Parliamentary Caucus in the House of Representatives yesterday defended President Umar Yar’Adua on the controversy over his not formally handing over to Vice President Goodluck Jonathan before travelling.
In a statement in Abuja, the Caucus said it had met to review developments in the country and resolved that “it is natural for any creation of God, including man to be indisposed at one point in time or the other.”

HAHAHA
why do people say ok let break up and go our own ways as if its easy?
If it were that easy the country would have been split LONG AGO.
Nigeria has definately grown bigger than any tribe or region.
2nd largest economy in africa, largest population in Africa, The most troops in AU & UN in Africa, US's fourth Oil supplier since 2008, 1 to India.

betta think of something else even if everyone wanted to leave its to late.
people talk of Nigeria as if its a baby country.

dont wanna hear any damn letters of any damn person speakin on behalf of any damn yaradua. What we want to see is it comfirmed by jonathan himself!

all this law juju is getting annoying acting presido my foot.
I suspect that the international coommunity warned the clowns not to destablize Nigeria. The country is too big to messup.

babaearly:
I laugh You. Concerned Citizen My Yansh!

lol

Gekko:
correct me if i'm wrong but isnt Ajegunle, Mushin, Agege, and co all part of Metropolitan Lagos.

actually Lagos is a state and not a city so, Ajegunle, Mushin, Agege, cant be part of a Metropolitan.
Lagos city differs from Lagos states parts Ajegunle, Mushin, Agege and co . . .

if her hands are clean she cannot have any down fall.

I dont blame him for saying BUT hes a fool cause the contraption of Nigeria is "as is" and nothing else. Until he breaks up Nigeria forcefull by fighting a war he should the the fff up.

Sometimes I think why do some people talk shiot when they arent ready to back up their words

@dokubo is  a fool for the simple fact he is in netherlands talkin shiot go back to Nigeria and say the same thing without fear oloshi . an ijawman will even kill you, if payed enough money.

I swear I can never be a clown like him staying abroad talking shiot and use tribe as a shield when people in my own tribe a part of the problem . Jonathan is a bloody thief and, he was all smiles when he was rigged in vp with yaradua in 2007, Tympre sylva maybe hes fulani also, even opposing Jonathan as presido what of Alamieyeseigha maybe hes hausa. so he needs to shut the hell up.

best friends ibori & alams

Nigeria is a definately a unified country  because the ruling party(PDP) comprises of elite from of all regions and all tribes- so no need to lie to yourselves. talking like a child when hes not a freaking kid. He needs to grow up !!

lOl NASS/Naija govt is full of clowns. They cant do or say anything because all of them are oles.
anytime they want to say or do something right (including jonathan) they are blackmailed with pass and present efcc findings on their corrupt practices.

lol someguys like lying to themselves.

oloshi fellow

mamagee also doesnt know what surrogate is lmfao

maybe she took it there for some ceremony so you can be rich- positive thinking you have wonderful babe

FL Gators:
ok, i'm going to admit it, I didnt know wtf I was talking abt. about to modify

olorun ma je!

People actually thought Ojo Madueke was honest when he appeared to side with jonatahn when he became acting president. Nigerian Politicans are disgusting.

mbulela:
[b]Segun Adeniyi is used to telling lies, so it is no problem for him.[/b]His conscience is seared.
I hope he is being paid enough for this, because it will be a shame to come out of this without any respect and credibility nor billions in his account.

lol

Middle belters wont go with the north if Naija breaks up. all this BS shakara is because they(middle belt elite) are in Nigeria and use their region and religion to play both north and south.

No middle belt in south Nigeria means -no Ice prince no tuface, no M.I, no Terry G  no babes from benue

This is dumb yaradua should be impeached.

haha whats the big deal

Don baba j is a genius i wish him success he should bless us with more igbo based tracks. Cause he understands how to blend yoruba bass/drums with igbo instrumentals.   na serious GBEDU

Why are people angry? Danny glover is chief in imo and hes not even igbo- but no one was mad when he got.

Who hates on dbanj- beside kellyhansome's bitter yansh? his igwe song was terrible -donjazzy and dbanjs was 100000 times better.

Mohits is 222 mad !!! I guess its GIDI thing
