this is absolute absurd and ridiculous,this is a broad daylight rape n oppression to our people by hausa and yoruba. i cant wait to blow off that pipeline in my backyard. thunder strike those law makers who feels niger delta natural resources should be shared equally to the north and west. are they suffering the same environmental degradation with the host communities. i think its high time the ND people should stand up in unity and fight this evil collaboration

Very sad. I'm a staff in a multinational and I feel very bad the way contract staff are treated.
My advise is for contract staff to send as many petitions to government, hopefully with the new government coming in I see an opportunity for things to change.
Why should these companies be declaring billions of Naira and even dollars like in the case of my company while majority of those working there are leaving from hand to mouth.
Anytime I bring this up, my colleagues advise I be careful. Really what more can one do since I'm directly affected
Please contract staffs, fight and fight on. Without this there is really no light at the end of the tunnel for you

very pathetic, my experience as a contract staff in ppmc is cruel. we are modern slaves in our own country. this guys treat us as rag,Could u imagine we work for over 7 months no payment.

how suddenly Umana became a sint under the guise of apc. I hate this man with passion,he collaborate with akpabio to caused all form of atrocities in the state. today he's aggrieved because his sins are hunting him. what goes around comes around, Mr man.

A friend of mind who is working with ppmc-nnpc as a casual staff in warri area is complaining bitterly that he has not been paid for over 8 months now. choii, this one na modern day slavery.

they are the first tribe to embrace western education, take it or leave it

posterity will not forgive Gel for misusing the God given opportunity to redeem his people. He was busy pleasing d allies (fulani herd men n self acclaimed sophisticated ones) who betrayed him without having a second thought. one thing for sure is destiny can be delayed but can't be change, we will fight with our last blood to get what rightfully belong to us. Is either true fiscal federalism or no Nigeria,enough of sacrificing our wealth to feed d ingrate hausa n yoruba.

why would the source from ND? why not from Chad basin, this guys amazed me every. we the people of Lower Niger don't need any dam development from any Dangote and Co. is either complete fiscal federalism or self determination period. we are tired of feeding the self acclaimed sophisticated ones and Abokis

Do you know these northerners are the ones supplying food to the whole country if you don't know ... Go down the history line and see what happened when they cut their supply to the south

Aboki, u are spitting buldshit. who cares if u guys cut food supply to the south. Is it force we stay together under the guise of one nigeria. what is wrong if u guys let us go our separate way? God!!

now she is showing are real self to nigerians, she is never a supportive wife. because election went opposite she deserted her husband the same way the sycophant friends who fed massively on d ineptitude of her husband.

bigfrancis21:
Thank you my brother, for your intelligent analysis. Of all posts read here, your post comes closest to the main thing SS/SE need to do to achieve independence from Nigeria - vote of referendum, which can be granted by the United Nations. Last year, Scotland had a vote of referendum to gain independence from the UK, however only 44% voted 'yes' and '54%' voted 'no', thus securing their stay in the UK. South Sudan held a vote of referendum and left Sudan to form their country in 2011. English-speaking Cameroun had a vote of referendum in 1961 to leave Nigeria and join Cameroun and an overwhelming majority voted 'yes'.

SS/SE are mere political constructs to divide the southern people. These people share more together than they are different. The Ibibios and Ijaws are culturally more similar to the Igbos than to any other tribe in Nigeria. They've shared historical ties and relations for over 400 years only to be divided since the discovery of crude oil.

When I see certain agitation acts by Biafrans, I shake in amazement. What I see is a misplacement of priorities. The main thing Biafrans MUST do to actualize Biafra is to lobby the UN to grant a vote of refrendum to southern Nigeria to see if they want to leave Nigeria or not.

So many things are not right with the Biafran movement.

First, I don't like the name 'biafra'. The name has become almost synonymous to 'Igbo' only, making it seem like an Igbo-only affair when in actuality it is a southern Nigeria affair, excluding South West. The 'bia' in 'biafra' isn't helping matters either. I am of the opinion that a new name be adopted for this soon-to-be entity, which, being fresh to the ears and minds of the southerners, will appeal to everybody, a country name which will evoke nationalism and pride in the country and represent a country where every southerner will feel a full sense of belonging to.

Second, the current so-called map of Biafra is as inaccurate as it can be. How can you include Kwale, Aboh, and some Ika-Igbo comunities under 'Ughelli' state, a non-Igbo speaking province? If for nothing, the states of the new country should be demarcated based on grouping linguistically similar groups together, into 1 state. For example, in the Anioma area of Delta state, Anaocha and Oshimili areas should be togther in a state with capital in Asaba, Ika and Ndokwa/Ukwuani another state of theirs with capital at Agbor, the 2 communities obviously sharing closer historical ties than they do with the Anaochas/Oshimils. The capital of this new country should not be in Enugu but be centred in the centre of the country, being carved out from Anambra, Delta, Rivers and Imo, extending over the River Niger. Country capitals should have direct access to a water body, thus a location centred around the River Niger flowing southwards towards Bayelsa is ideal. It will be built from scratch, to allow for proper city planning. Country capitals are sited in the middle of a country, to prevent ease of attack my invaders in times of war. The main reason the capital of Nigeria was moved from extreme-end Lagos state to central Abuja.

This country will never be an Igbo affair but one of Igbo, Ibibio and Ijaw collective affairs. All 3 languages will be official languages of the country, alongside English, owing to its international status. Other languages will remain state official languages in their respective states.

With the country capital spanning from anambra, delta, rivers, bayelsa and imo, it will be ensured that this land area is ethnically represented, with each region contributing their fair share, and the capital will be a proper state developed with proper city planning, becoming a Dubai in just 20 years. The financial and human resources are there to ensure this. Dubai was transformed from a desert to one of the best cities in the world today, under 30 years. With the will power, dedication and financial resources, we CAN transform our country capital from bare land to one of reckoning, and our country to among the top 20 in the world. A country that non-citizens all over the world would queue 24 hours a day at our embassies abroad just to obtain a mere visitors visa to sight-see for just 1 week.

Proper drainage, train systems, bridges, road networks, power systems, postal systems, shall be built.

Laws shall be enforced, and the judicial system shall be reckoned to be highly incorruptible, and the citizens will trust in their judiciary system to deliver justice to them. Proper prisons with better living conditions will be built, and the country's citizens languishing in jails worldwide under inhumane conditions will be expatriated back home to serve their sentences under better human conditions. The human life is sacred.

Every citizen shall be assigned an identification number, which will be used to keep track of the citizens and provide services to the citizens.

The academic system will be totally revamped to include more meaningful and realistic programs. Efforts shall be made to upgrade current universities to world-class status, and a few new ones will be built. In some ways, emphasis will be placed on new courses such as programming, black history, science and innovation. One cannot overemphasize the importance of programming in today's ever-changing world. Programming skills shall be encouraged and our programmers shall be taken care of, to innovate and innovate. Our people shall lead in science and innovation. The ancient egyptians were able to do this, so CAN we equally do this. Black history and proper education of the citizens in its past history shall be paramount, thus the new-born ones will grow up equipped with their history, thus inducing black pride in all and sundry. Believing in yourself shall be the watchword.

Our power systems shall be unique and superb with constant electricity all year long. The Oji river power station shall be revived, natural gas dams erected in the Niger delta region, and Hydro dams erected along the river Niger. The country will generate more than twice the energy that it needs, such that it is able to sell electricity to neighbouring countries, including Nigeria. Business is business. International trade must be balanced.

The economy will be diversified, and not one built on oil only. There will be equal rights for all, and bills put in place to ensure that every ethnic group is well-represented in the affairs of the country. The pounds currency can remain in place. I would rather our currency be given a native name, comiing from one of the country's languages such as Urhobo or Isoko. The current biafran blue-coloured passport is equally ok to remain.

Honestly, I don't mind spearheading the actualization of this new country, and setting down the basic foundations of this country, upon which it would be built on, aiming to be the strongest black nation on earth in just less than 30 years. Believe me, with the brain and willful resources of southerners, we can achieve this.

The Jews were able to transform from a wandering and scattered people all over the earth to actualize a country of their own, which has surpassed its arabic neighbours in human living index in the middle east. If Israel could do this, we can do this.

I have a dream. Our people shall be free. We shall have a country of ours. Our people shall be great.

well crafted ,i adore ur writeup. but truth be told, until igbos proof otherwise to ss brothers. As far as am concern(ibibio),igbos are the most greedy, selfish, and self centered tribe in the country.If this perception is not change, my brother ur leaving in delusion n illusion. our people are not comfortable playing the second fiddle despite of our enormous freely God given wealth in this delusion entity called Nigeria but aligning with the igbos is like a case of jumping into fire from fry pan, there is a proverb in my dalet that says "give igbo man an inch he will take a mile" .to draw a conclusion, the ss people are not comfortable with dominat attitude of the igbos. we will rather prefer our own sovereignty.

tonychristopher:
I KNOW , OH SOBO BOY,

AFTER ALL CAJOLLING YOU SAID YOUR TRIBE, YOU AND ISOKO PEOPLE THAT ARE SO CONFUSED, IS THAT WHY YOUR CRYING THAT THERE IS NO IGBO IN DELTA STATE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE CAPITAL AND THE AIRPORT

MY DEAR, WE IGBO DO NOT RECOGNISE YOU AND STOP TALKING BIAFRA BECAUSE YOU CANT BE PART OF US, WE KNOW OUR IGBO BRETHREN IN DELAT AND FOR YOUR INFO I AM MARRIED TO UKWUANI OR WILL U TELL ME THEY ARE NOT IGBO, OR WILL YOU TELL ME MY UNCLE EMEKA FROM RIVER IS NOT IGBO


DUDE DONT WORRY

WE WILL NOT NEED UNA, SOBO ARE NOT WANTED


SO TAKE A CHILL PILL, TRY TO THINK ALLIANCE WITH YORUBA WE ARE NOT ONE WITH UNA, BUT OUR COUSIN THE IBIBIO ARE GOING COS WE FOUGHT TOGETHER. SO DONT CRY MORE THAT THE BEREAVED

Don't delude urself by making the mistake that the Ibibios will ever join in ur struggle. make proper finding you will the position of the akwabomite. in as much as we support ur struggle ,we don't want to be part of it.

I will rather advice the igbos to read about the history of civil war and extract the position of the Niger-Deltas, they were not part of the Birfran struggle and dreams. we will rather struggle for our sovereignty than to be part of Biafra.

Performer ko , performer ni ?
Performer with the number of his kinsmen doing houseboy and gatemen increasing across the country year in year out,in spite of all the money in that state.
Amechi wey dey rivers for there , I take my koro koro eyes dey see river state master/PHD student population dey increase for America year in year out.this one dey talk about person wey dey produce houseboy and house girl .
Right now , akpabio's latest ibaka seaport is bribing to get a adamawa governor impeached.


I beggi, next story.

I guess one of Akpabio's kingsmen was the nanny from OLX that was involved in kidnapping her employer's children? u are the dumbest person on this site referring AKS ppl as gate men and house boys. look inward, is ur relations better of?

king Goodwill must be a 4th cousin to Oba Akiola,this thing is inherently running in their blood. why are the yorubas crying foul when their distance relation exhibiting the same ideology with Oba Akiola.

manck2:
that allocation will change very soon.. Akwa ibom allocation will go down with buhari in power. because the correct procedure was not followed.

which correct procedure? bros go get urself updated with statistics of how revenue is generated in the country. Akwa Ibom contribute the highest percentage to the FG account compared to every other state. Don't ridicule urself with ignorance.

baby124:
What is the population of akwa ibom that they are entitled to that much money compres to Lagos? Is their allocation not that high because of derivation and natural resource? Based on the population of Lagos, we should get more money, and also we have a natural port. We should also be getting a derivation for that. I expect the Lagos senators to fight for this, and for the FG to be fair about that in this dispensation. We are entitled to a percentage of the proceeds from our port. End of story. You can't do for one state and give excuses to another. Besides we carry the weight of the country on such little allocation. What rubbish. It's an outrage.

When did population as to do with revenue allocation?Akwa ibom presently contribute between 25-30% revenue to FG as compared to Lagos. U won't dare type this if Nigeria were practicing a true fiscal federalism. Did u consider the environment degradation on the cause of oil exploration in the state?

Happy birth day my incoming VP, may God continue to strengthen you toward the cause of change
