Lol, instead of the dude to spend his energy to develop Nija, na TV station him dey shut, yeye baba slow.

Here are some of the pix of biafran war
Now can they afford any other, if things goes ugly?

yemmyse:
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.

You are very right, although, i am not sure they will be that much hit the way you put it, u are forgeting that theya re the exporter of Stuff like cow and the dairy farm produce and some agricultural produce, also, they love each other and always there for one another more than every other tribe, i do agree that they will be in darkness for some times, but they will come out of it, and Obama bin ladin, cld move there from pakistan and will bring with him some Afghanistan that will start drug planting and sales, and they will make money via that as well.

yemmyse:
- 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.

Igbo pple will be fine, cos they are sitting on the Oil, and just like they are the china of West Africa, they will be fine, cos they will be able to produce what they want, however, they will be their own enemy, cos they will wanna out do one another, they will wanna rush things and if care is not taken, there is possibbility for them to sell the own nation of their just for money, technology will be from other pple, cos most igbo pple are only good in buz, and mind you buz alone cant sustain an economy, there are need for other sectors of economy, but in the long run, they will be fine, and i can see all the igbo abroad coming home in their numbers to make the place better, but would their resources be able to withstand their population at that point, and that is where they will need to find other ways to make money apart from the OIL, but i am sure that they will be able to invest wisely and find better way to get the crude into finished oil in Biafra nation and not just export and losing money.

yemmyse:
- 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.

Well said, but i hope they willbe able to use the money wisely and learn from the baba agbaya called Nigeria.

yemmyse:
- 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. 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.

West will be affected really bad, cos they will all have "power struggles" ogun will wanna rule and oshun will say nope, lagos will say na him big pass, and another wahala will cropped up, so i am not sure if i agree with you on that one, cosYorubas always find a way to just shot themselves at the foot like nig bunny, an OYO man with tribal mark will pretend he cant speak yoruba and once you are not from same compound in OYO, he wont help u to give u job, or as long as you cant speak same dialet as him, and Ogun state pple will probably wanna have another ministry called, ministry of Party Galore.
Yes, they are well educated, but we all know that too much book na wahala.
They will be able to develop their own nation, if and only if they are willing to work together as a team and love one another, if they can just put aside their pride stop the "hand me down" theory, they will be fine and if the old pple cld phuck the culture and allow the youngs to take over and rule, if the young one cld see why they need to make it work, Yoruba pple will be fine.

I guess cos they wanna play with the air and wanna braid bob marly on his chest, and you know ladies do like to plait hair on bay dolls.

You are Correct, when ever I see the kind of suffering the people of Niger Delta are having, I nearly cry with tears, because I know more than 60% of those suffering are blaming us Northerners for the suffering, while we are also suffering, so it is highly desirable to let the People either have 100% control of their resources or separate from the other parts of the country to become Independent. This will bring an end to the blame on Northerners for their suffering.

I think Diplomacy will lead to their Independence, but with Violence, we are not going anywhere, because there are some people benefiting hugely from the Violence, they will not like the Violence to end, they like the Violence to exist for ever in the region, because they are benefiting.

Yes oh, maybe i shd stop going against the seperation and let everyone go their own way, but my question is which country will lay claim of lagos? and would anyone be allowed to take anything out of it?

sweetiemi:
hi people, enough of the negative thoughts that its only in our dreams that this can be accomplished!!!

it seams we are tsarting to get there at least here in lagos!

1)roads are getting better
2)power supply in most parts of lagos has become more constant
3)water supply is better i mean its flowing from the taps(am not vouching for its safety though)

at least if we have started achieving these, then there might still be hope that in our generation we will still see the Nigeria of our dreams becoming a
reality

so please don't give up hope lets just keep praying and being a positive contributor it all starts from you and i

Thank you so much for this information, so hope they will be able to extend same to other part of Nigeria, or maybe Nigeria shd ask lagos what they are doing to make such changes.
What part of Lagos do have constant light? this is such a good news

With better technology and kinda terrain of lands that we have in Nigeria, Sugarcane cld be planted and production cld be increased, and nice to know that some pple are coming up with some initiatives.

auwal87:
I have been following the discussions on this topic up to this point.

To those who think that Non-Oil Producing Countries like Arewa will not survive if it becomes Independent. I would like to remind them that even though with the Oil in the Niger Area, what benefit is it bringing to the Poor People called Nigerians? Basically Nothing, because we are still not enjoying Free Health care, Free Education, Good Roads, Stable Electricity, Nothing. Amidst, only the so called Nigerian Leaders and their gangs are enjoying the Oil Money.

Do you know that Kano State alone is generating 1.2 Billion Naira Monthly on Local Revenue alone?

Do all the Oil belts sef enjoy all the good stuff, theya re with most of the unemployment rate in Nigeria, but then, they are mostly employed now with kidnapping and ransom demands.
Infact, i think they shd be allowed to break away and let us see how long it will take for them to last.

kevyngbash:
kai Rhino. I have heard you doubt characters on this forum but little did I know that I will be your victim sooner.
Why should I post details on here? Is that the only criteria for a biz being genuine?

I am glad to know that i have been your topic of discussion off nairaland, i must be so important, instead of you and ur cohorts to talk about selling rides and making money, u talking abt rhino, my guy, i am a guy that like to be sure be4 i cld tell pple to leap, u dont expect me to call pple that i know that there is a deal somewhere and then, all come to be phony, do u?

kevyngbash:
Well, I wont post it here. Someone has already written me and I have replied with details. Thats how I want it.

I wont do me any good to put the details here.
I am a Senior Core Network engineer in a leading telecoms coy.

Like socrates said " know thyself, so only you know who you are, we done, we all sit behind screens and talk and getting to know each other's business, so no need for you to get offended nor offensive, just trying to thread gently.

kevyngbash:
I am no scam and please don't insult me again. The first thing I will do is to give you the physical address of the coy. You can do your due dilligence as the coy is fully registerd and has been doing biz. they are in Ikoyi.,

I cant remember insulting you, all i said was, if you sure it is not a scam, so just saying, " i am sure it is not a scam" simple and chikena~~~ so now say after me ~"Rhino, i am not a scam" my guy in buz world, you need to grow a thick skin.

I am still waiting for reponse oo. nairalander, there will always be scamers but the world is filled with good and bad. I have not asked for money yet. When I do that you might should then assess the circumstances on which I am making such demand.

kevyngbash:
Inspired know me personally ( I am not asking him to vouch for my character though).

That is nice and since we all trust Inspired, so we will trust u.

that is very true

If you are really serious and not a scam, why not post the details here?

I guess i will invest in someone to move to Cotonue, the cars in Nigeria you never buy them finish and you wanna go to cotonue market.

Why not just go and buy the pregnancy test kit and try it out.

Tell them they are all hypocrites like the pharises.

The day you say "I do" , same day u say bye bye to making your mother the priority, so, it is your wife, but the best way to do it, is make ur wife and your mother to be best of friends and you will enjoy best of both worlds.

Haba, how cld you too blv such a falacy?
Nothing cld make u look older than your age if you dont wanna look older, however, most ladies in Nigeria seems to let go of their fashion senses once they have kids, so tell her to get some good hair do, change her "old woman" wardrobe and some nice shoes to go with it, and dont pain her face like masqurades, and i am sure you will be back here telling us, she is looking young and small boys are chasing her.

Sick joke.

jenju:
Good luck to you, my brother

I dey vex u oh, but we will talk via mail sha.

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

Interprete pls

chikeze:
rhino the guy is out of the country in south africa on vacation . will be back next week. i will get in touch with you when his back. cheers

Whenever he is ready lemme know and we can make it happen, and if i can steal Jenju's sloggan, and we can all smile to the bank.

jintujinta:
The service year will also serve to re-orientate the "abroad" graduates who may have gone for too long about our values and culture which they may have forgotten.

but i am not sure that they have such program, dont think pple that studied abroad are allowed into the program.

Big B1:
You can not blame Yar'Adua for anything; I personally blame OBJ for obvious reason.

But nevertheless, IBB still remains the right man for the job.

I blame Abacha for not killing OBJ when he had the opportunity to.

bawomolo:
the only people that scream oil is a curse are usually africans in gabon, nigeria or angola. i wonder why. folks from UAE, romania, norway, denmark etc sure don't mind. this country would be a much better place if the Oil boom was properly managed.

lagos has a finance and trade sector, something most nigerian states can't boost off. internally generated revenue in lagos state is the highest of any other sate.

jeez everything is about Oil to u guys

Very true, but since Nigeria cant manage things well, i guess we surely belong to the list that u have posted us.

inspired_m:
$$Rhino

I sent you an Email and I haven't seen your response, Lets start On time Cos of December Rush, I need Over 200 cars this December By GOD's grace, Reply Via Email

You will read from me soonest.
However, please tell me what kinda of car would be hot sales for December rush.

Yes, i do agree with all u have said so far and i blv that Nigeria need to invest in other ways to make money into the wallet of the nation, and that is why i said, maybe without the Oil, the nation would have been a better place afterall.

Big deal.

The Sly:
1- because you others are parasite.

2- Nigeria's income is mainly generated from oil sales,
Meaning without Nigeria's oil, You people would be competing with the likes of Burundi economically.

hahahahahahaha, u are so funny.
What is the definition of a parasite, Oil that cant even be refined in the Oil city?
How about you wake up and realize that dependancy on Oil might not even help u at all, cos the notion of "we have oil" and we shd be entitled has made y'all some lazy bunch.
If there is no Oil, trust me, that will make so many Nigerians to wake up and develop other means of making money, be it farming or mining, which we need anyways.
I guess texas shd be asking for break away from America too, or Alaska.

Big B1:
You have my support if you could only name one entity that is capable and has stamina to effectively tackle all our problems in Nigeria.

Oladimeji Bankole represents new generation grassroot; the man would clearly tell you that problems in Nigeria are unbearable and would simply take much more than mere leadership skill and college education to restore things back to normal.

I'm sorry, Nigeria isn't United states or UK; our problems are very unique and mostly invisible.

3 years ago, if anyone name Obama as a possible president of Nigeria, pple would have pulled their gun and say Nigga is crazy, my point is, there is a need for grassroot politics to be right, cos grassroot is what made it into national leadership.
We need to start electing pple that have brain and cld make changes from the councillorship to chairmanship all the way to governor, cos out of all these, we will one day see a good president, but if you asking me to name names at present, i am sorry, cant name none, cos i am yet to see one that has what it takes to rule "Niger area".

How come it is always most people from the Oil belt that always asking for seperation from Nigeria? i will just like to know.
Lemme guess, the same lunacy that made Nigeria jumping up in 1960 cos they have Oil and they are all independent and cld do whatever they want? tell me where is all those jubilation then? what have they achieved with it? Nothing and i mean absolutely Nothing, instead of Nigeria to be healed, she is constantly blaming others for their own wahala.
I have heard Nigerians blaming USA for their problem
Some have blamed Brittain, Bakassi has contributed a lot according to some, so who is next to be blamed.
Besides, i guess Oil belt in Nigeria are following same foot step now, blaming every other tribe but refused to look inward.

tpia:
I don't see why I should double post on account of your ability to jump to conclusions.

So if you can't go back and reread in order to catch what you missed before, too bad.

I guess that proofs my point.
Since u cant tell us how the names of the kidnappers will be known by the authority, even afte they have been arrested, so i guess we just let go then.
