wetin yoruba people do u sef?. I am half igbo and do understand the sentiments of my Igbo brothers but I dont like the way people like you go on the offensive attacking a whole civilization.

Why dont Hamas have world appeal even though we know the palestinians are suffering. Suicide Bombing and rantings about jewish destruction wont win you my support. Likewise ranting about the backwardness of oduduwa wont forward your cause cos then you are alienating a whole people.

Abeg cool down for JESUS

@Ikeyman00

You don’t have iota of common sense, if you think of war you better think of the future consequences, if not on your children but the coming generations. How would you think straight, when you eat too much “Stodgy Palm Oil Garri” mixed with bland okra stew, the result would give you Hydrocephalus—too much fiber and water in the brain. Haba, you don’t feel shy, if the midgets among you are suffering from amnesia won’t the taller ones think straight?. Ikeyman00, if the head is rotten the whole body is waste. You are the oldest and still devoid of common sense, pushing your younger ones to abysmal of peril. You are a disgrace to your generation, a super-fool if I found the right oxymoron for your jerk-ass.

Good news, the whole Biafran communities popped “Ogogoro gin” with Pa. Ikeyman00, they felt the destruction of oil facility in Lagos will let Yorubas retaliate and thus roll into civil war; there would pave way for their separatist ambition. I would advise you to stop chasing your shadow.

Bad news, I just caught this armed robber in our compound. He was caught for burglary breaking. I found him with three illegal weapons; bia-fry passport, biaf- rat currency and biaf-rogue flag. You know I did? I told him to eat the flag in my present, then I blew my nose on the currency and had bigger-ass defecates on the flag. What that tells you? Biafra is doomed!

Idiot, its one thing to attack an individual but ranting against something dear to millions of people is reckless and irresponsible.
Nevertheless you being a yoruba wouldn't make me insult the whole odua race, MInd you am half igbo half urhobo,
If you have beef with ikeyman am not going to barge in but just keep it at that level and dont include other hardworking Biafrans aight

And Ikeyman you are an uncallous specimen, keep your ranting about odudwa directly at an individual level against akigbemaru and not the whole yoruba peeps

i never said Yorubas never invest outside their domain, all i said is that yoruba investments within their domain tend to take precedence over that outside.

- yorubas that invest in london do not play the victim card in london, instead they already understand that they are not in their home land hence its not their place to complain about the host and at the same time seek to enjoy more benefits from the host.

- off course i can't understand the Biafra mentality, that is quite true same way that you cannot understand the concept of being fair with ur comments.

Yorubas do not dwell on protesting about tribalism  from the igbos towards them, instead they sit up and do something about it and find a way round the tribalism. Instead all i have been seeing on most of this politics thread is that the Igbos keep claiming and blaiming the yorubas for everything wrong with them. Why don't u look inwards for a change or is it easier to blame someone else for your problems.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

guy talk well. people like you might not be ethnically biased but you dont make guarded statements.
Why is it in Nigeria we talk as if youruba, igbo, and other ethnicities are countries of their own, An igbo man investing in lagos is different from a yoruba man investing in london,

MEND IS THE SHIT

PEOPLE OF LAGOS NO VEX AS LONG AS MEND KEEP TO THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT - "OIL RELATED TARGETS" AM COOL. AS LONG AS ITS NOT THE HARD WORKING PEOPLE OF LAGOS, MEND HAS MY SUPPORT.

BUT MEND UP THE ANTE I WANT ASO ROCK FLATTEN BY TOMORROW MORNING FOR BREAKFAST

well i think the south are a bunch of pussy for letting the north continously ride on them then

OYB_MEND:

Depilot and waffigbo have succeeded in injecting tribalism into this thread

what should rather be a debate about policy is about North vs South, what a tragedy.

Depilot should probably tell us how it is in Nigeria's economic inteerest to have a Foreign takeover of Nigerian Banks

If you have nothing to say about economics I believe there are enough threads already about tribalism.

First of all OYB MEND dont be naive call a goose a goose, You might be to naive to see what is going on in Nigeria. Recently the north said they want to build a PTI in kaduna, ANother guy said that the North can mobilize 500,000 of their people to attack the south if the militants dare attack them, Minister for petroleum is from the North, The south has been calling for true federalism now the North came out and said yes we want that but we want to now do full scale sharia in all part of the north cos by federalism there is self determination so that is what their people determine for themselves, well i dont shy away from a battle you ass wipe and am say as it is

Second of all I didnt say anything that has to do with tribalism. All I said he isnt qualified to head a financial institution because his specialty is islamic philosophy which he studied in Sudan. Now I dont care if he is a bishop, all am saying bring someone qualified enough

SANUSI IS an Islamic Scholar who dont know Jack about economics or banking, WHy he was chosen as CBN governor is a mystery. Or probably is the governments plan to gradually islamicize the Nigerian banking system

dem think say they sharp abi? Why dont they think before they make decisions, bunch of idiotic uncivilized war mongering abokis, dem think say na only dem get monopoly for violence, try this nonsense first and dem go trip say o boy the south sabi act barbaric too

[b] PTI in Kaduna ‘ll triger North-South crisis, say Gbagi, Okpozo
National News Jul 5, 2009

WARRI—BUSINESS mogul and former national chairman of the Legal Aid Council of Nigeria, Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi and prominent Niger-Delta leader, Senator Francis Spanner Okpozo, have warned that the Federal Government’s plan to build another Petroleum Training Institute (PTI) in Kaduna, a non-oil producing state at a cost of N19 billion, will trigger a monster crisis between the North and South.

Fuming with rage, both distinguished Niger-Deltans, who spoke in separate interviews with Vanguard weekend, said the proposal of a PTI in Kaduna was an unpopular course of action that was borne out of brazen irresponsibility and should be jettisoned immediately in the interest of peace in the country.

According to Gbagi, “the import of the decision to build a PTI in Kaduna is that Federal Government wants to disintegrate the country; that is the long and short of it and I advise that we should be very careful because we are dealing with an explosive issue”.

He said the government, through the Minister of Petroleum, Alhaji Rilwanu Lukman, halted the training of engineers at the PTI, Effurun in Delta State, to kill the economy of the region and now wants to awaken the Northern economy with a PTI in Kaduna, saying it was preposterous for government to think that line of action Olorogun Gbagi said students of a Petroleum Training Institute were supposed to work in oil-related environment and wondered why the PTI in Delta State should not be developed to a world-standard institute by the federal government.

He said: “It is a slap on the people of the Niger-Delta for the government to build another PTI in Kaduna. The Minister of Petroleum should be called to order because what he is indirectly saying with this kind of wicked plan is that Niger-Delta is not safe, but this is the region where you are digging the money with which you run the nation. My friend, it is not nothing short of double standard.

“Even the money voted for Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) is not being used well for the development of the region. Why should international airports not be built in Escravos, Delta state, Eket, the one in Rivers state expanded for oil companies to fly their workers there.

“As Petroleum Minister, has Lukman not travelled wide enough to know that in other areas, you don’t use money derived from an area to develop another area when the area in question is not develope?.

“This is why I have said and I am repeating here that all the oil companies operating in the Niger-Delta should move their headquarters from Lagos to their major locations in the region. Chevron for instance should move to Warri, Shell to Bayelsa state or Rivers state and Exxon-Mobil to Eket.”

Also brimming with anger, Senator Okpozo asserted, “the federal government cannot initiate that plan at all because it is dangerous. Dangerous in the sense that it will be a misrepresentation of what is actually on ground. If the North is not producing oil, what is the rationale of putting the school there?

“I ask, does the federal government know the implications of what it is contemplating, it will lead to a big crisis between the North and South. I advise Yar’Adua to listen less to suggestions being made by interested groups in the North.

“They have a School of Agriculture in Gwom, the idea is that the North is agriculturally dominant, and nobody is objecting here in the South, why is it, therefore, that anything in the South, they want to replicate it in the North even it ought not to be so? They moved the Naval Headquarters sometime from Lagos to Abuja, the Yorubas were not okay and they fought against it until it was transferred back to Lagos.

“Maybe what we in the Niger-Delta should be asking for is that the Kaduna Refinery should be brought back to the region because it has no business being there. The idea of building a PTI in Kaduna is a non starter. If anybody is contemplating it, it should be stopped because of the consequences”, he asserted.

Senator Okpozo said if he were President Yar’Adua, he would not dabble into such no-go-areas because when the chips are down, those who are beating the drums for him on the sideline would abandon him to his fate.[/b]

who cares

Just curious, How come Akwa Ibom and Cross River are considered part of South south even though they are the most South Eastern States while ENugu, Anambra, Imo EBonyi and Abia are considered SOuthEast even though they look More like South to me (am looking at the map of nigeria)?

Are Nigerians Geopolitical zones drawn according to ethnicity or actual geography? can someone help me out

where is the effing "new topic" button na

Duh!! you guys acting brand new like you dont know why they want customs, apart from what someone pointed out as being one of the major source of revenue for the Federal Government, think about their plans to Islamicize the nation,
Yes by controlling the border especially the border with Niger and Chad they can let their fellow brethen roam the country freely and terrorize non-muslims in the north. Remember the JOS crisis witnesses were saying the attackers couldn't even speak english they were speaking french,

becoomrich:



And we Yorubas say NO to Ethnocracy form of goverment. Ethnocracy is not democracy. It is two different thing. We say remove the Yorubas, edo, delta and bayelsa into Benin republic and make the north have 70% of the oil and 90% of the land.


Egbe Omo Oduduwa

Egbeomooduduwa@live.com

My guy speak for yourself, you cant speak for all yorubas talkless of distinct ethnic groups found in Edo, delta and Bayelsa state, WHo told you they want to join you in Republic of Benin?

smasher1:

Dokubo no be real militant. Whats he living in Abuja 4? His time has gone. Mend is now in charge mending Nigeria.

O boy coming to think of it no be lie o, MEND are real mending Nigeria hahaha, I like that line

SapeleGuy e be like say u be politician, You are very right na to save face. We go Liberia, sierra Leonne dey run things for there, unstoppable army. Meanwhile at home they cant stop an opposition supposedly surrounded by the Might Armed forces of Nigeria.

You can kill a person but not an Idea, talk is cheap, I love Nigeria and dont want another civil war or breakup but JUSTICE & EQUITY no be BEANS

for all these sins the Nigerian state needs amnesty and not these revolutionaries

We all know say government no serious, Yar adua is a creation of the problem, Northern Oligarchs squeeze on Nigeria

Half of Ministerial Positions are from the North
Petroleum Minister from the North
Head of NNPC from the North
By counting their cattles and refugees from Niger and Chad the North get the most money
Northerners Have the most Generals in the Nigerian Army
Most of the genocide killing JTF personnel are from the North,
Northerners have a functioning refinery mean while the oil region of warri and Portharcourt is neglected, ah ah which kain thing be this?

I personally think that the head of NNPC, Minister of Petroleum should be from the Nigerdelta for at least 15 years

MEND all the way mayne. Eff yar adua and his amnesty. NOW his funds running low (aka oil money) He wants amnesty, THE CHICKEN HAS COME TO ROOST BABY, the words of Pastor JEremiah

My guy cool down am not a full fledged militant (at least yet), Na so u like Naija reach?

Now Who is laughing? He who laughs last laughs Best, This is for those Northern Oligarchs siphoning oil wealth for their Jihadist motives, haha now what?

Big Up MEND, Bravo, ROme was not built in a day likewise Naija will not fall in a day but with your perseverance it will, unless The North Join Niger and Chad

Just the other day NNPC announced Nigeria is running out of curde. Read Below,

[size=8pt][size=8pt][size=8pt][size=8pt][size=8pt][font=Lucida Sans Unicode]Nigeria runs out of crude, refineries shut

* Asari-Dokubo regains freedom

* Amnesty may lapse after 60 days

From Madu Onuorah, Terhemba Daka (Abuja), Kelvin Ebiri (Port Harcourt), Willie Etim (Yenagoa), Taiwo Hassan and Blessing Eghagha (Lagos)

NOW the chicken has come to roost. The effects of the militancy in the Niger Delta and the Federal Government's clampdown on them have shaken the foundation of the oil and gas industry.

Yesterday, the government admitted that it had no more crude for its refineries to process for local consumption.

Consequently, the Warri and Port Harcourt refineries have been shut. The Kaduna Refinery, though functioning, has no crude to process because the Warri plant, which feeds it is shut due to a damage to major pipelines. The only stock, which was reserved, will be exhausted in the next 15 days, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) said yesterday.

The corporation's Group Managing Director (GMD), Mohammed Sanusi Barkindo, who painted the pathetic picture of the industry, said in the next 15 days, it will run out of crude for domestic consumption.

The corporation attributed the development to the crisis in the Niger Delta, which has escalated since the government scaled up a military offensive against the militants in the region.

In retaliation, the militants have intensified their sabotage of the activities of oil firms in the zone. In the last three weeks, the militants have struck four times, destroying facilities belonging to Shell, Chevron and Agip, which are joint venture partners with the government.

Apparently to keep his peace overtures to the militants on course, President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua yesterday ordered the immediate release of Asari-Dokubo, who was held in Lagos on Tuesday at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos. The State Security Services (SSS), which detained Dokubo, promptly freed him. Asari-Dokubo yesterday in Lagos addressed a press conference, where he picked holes in amnesty being offered the militants by the President.

There were also speculations yesterday that the proposed amnesty would only last for 60 days, after which the government would close the door against recalcitrant armed men.

Barkindo raised the alarm on the depleting stock of crude during an interactive session with the House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee on the Niger Delta crisis, chaired by Abdul Ningi.

Represented by his Assistant General Manager, Technical, Gabby Meheux, Barkindo said since the starting of the military operations in the region, there had been an escalation of militant activities targeting Shell, Chevron and Agip companies with attendant pipelines destruction.

He disclosed that as at last Friday, the average production output from its JVC stood at only 1.3 million barrels per day (bpd), adding that the Port Harcourt and the Warri refineries had both ran out of crude and were shut down as a result of the damages on the Nembe-Port Harcourt and Escravos-Chanomi pipelines.

According to him, the damage of the pipeline feeding Warri means no supplies to Kaduna refinery, hence the resort to the use of already stored crude, which is expected to run out in 15 days.

"Yes, what we currently have now will last for 15 days and after that it will finish. The consequence is that no refining would take place and no product would be available from Kaduna because the pipeline that would have supplied crude to Kaduna was vandalised and until it is repaired, we cannot pump crude," he explained.

Also, the Director, Chevron/NNPC Joint Venture, Supo Shadiya, said his company has incurred more losses than ever since the beginning of last May 13 military operations in the area.

He said there had been escalated attacks and sabotages on its facilities, adding that "since May 16 till date, we have lost one-third of our production capacity in West Africa and that is about 105, 000 bpd.

Shadiya said most of the pipelines exporting crude and gas from their off-shore to on-shore bases have been sabotaged, resulting to stoppage of crude transportation through them. He added that the firm's wells in MKB-5 and Apiteye-1 have been vandalised while fire had been raging in the latter since June 13 till date because the integrity of the well was affected.

"We have not been able to put off the fire because we cannot. The integrity of the well has been compromised and we don't have the facility to control it. So, we have brought in two well fire control specialists from abroad and they are still studying the fire to come up with a solution on how to put it off," he stated.

The representative of the Managing Director of Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), Oriseh Agbarah, told the lawmakers that his company, which produces about 350, 000 bpd before the May military action now produces below 200, 000. "We are doing less than 30,000 from the whole of Delta region," he added.

The lawmakers took turns in blaming the NNPC for failing to collaborate with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) on the provision of relief materials to the people in the crisis area.

Abdul Ningi particularly frowned at the non-commitment of NNPC and the multinationals to humanitarian issues in the area since the military operations started.

And as the nation awaits Yar'Adua's pronouncement on the amnesty package, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) has said its senior commanders, Farah Dagogo, Boyloaf and Soboma George did not participate in the talks with the Federal Government in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.

But the Presidential Committee on Peace and Conflict in the Niger Delta and the Niger Delta Technical Committee have expressed optimism that the President's address would address some of the core issues that necessitated militancy in the Niger Delta.

The Minister of Interior, Maj.-Gen. Godwin Abbe, the Inspector-General of Police, Mike Okiro, Assistant Inspector-General of Police for Zone 6, Joel Udah and the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Bala Hassan, had on Tuesday met with lawyers allegedly representing MEND commanders, including the leader of the Niger Delta Vigilante, Ateke Tom, on the issue.

MEND spokesperson, Jomo Gbomo, said the group is waiting for what Yar'Adua has to offer in his expected address to the nation today before responding accordingly.

The Secretary of the Presidential Committee on Peace and Conflict, Kingsley Kuku, told The Guardian yesterday that the presidential address would pave way to lasting peace with the conditions that would be attached to the amnesty programme.

Kuku said the President is likely to mention some prominent names for amnesty, which should make the people of the region appreciate the attached goodwill.

Similarly, the Chairman of the Niger Delta Technical Committee, Ledum Mitee, told The Guardian that he expects Yar'Adua to come out with a holistic package that will not only address the issue of militancy and amnesty but also some of the fundamental issues that give excuse for militancy.

He said: "The Niger Delta problem forms the basis for arms struggle and so it has to be addressed. We must address the issue of proliferation of arms, re-integration without losing sight of the fact that we cannot create the impression that only those who have taken to arms can be rewarded. Justice is the issue."

Agency report had it yesterday that President Yar'Adua may propose a 60-day amnesty for the militants.

This move, according to a Presidency source, is aimed at enabling the government to work with those who are sincere about peace in the region.

"All militants, who respond positively to the amnesty proclamation should , receive presidential pardon and thus become immune to criminal prosecution," the official said.

Asari-Dokubo has scoffed at the amnesty offer, saying "it is the people of Niger Delta that ought to offer amnesty to the Federal Government of Nigeria for years of occupation, environmental degradation" and other economic hardship that had brought "poverty to the entire Niger Delta."

At a press conference in Lagos immediately after he was released by the SSS, Asari-Dokubo said that the amnesty offer would only be accepted by those whose means of livelihood had been severely affected by the offensive of the Joint Task Force (JTF) in the Niger Delta.

"Those of us, who are committed to the genuine struggle for resource control, greater participation of our people in the oil industry, will never accept any form of amnesty from the Federal Republic of Nigeria. What we want is a Sovereign National Conference, a level-playing field. The fundamental issue to the "Ijaw nation in contemporary Nigeria is all about our sovereignty and nationhood," he said.

Ijaw Elders and Leaders Forum have also called on Yar'Adua to make public the supposed list of persons behind illegal bunkering in the region.

In a nine-point communique signed by elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark and 11 others, the forum reiterated its earlier position that the continued presence of the military in the Niger Delta region serves more of their personal interests and a direct effect on the increased illegal bunkering activities.

The Ijaw leaders condemned the continued presence of the military "occupation" force in Ijaw land, particularly in the devastated Gbaramatu Kingdom and called for the immediate demilitarisation of the territory.

lojik:

Some "frozen brain racoons" supporting mend on this forum have chosen to collectively yield the future of their children's children into the hands of some "homo erectus" criminals in the name of freedom fighting.

Would it not be better to resolve your problems democratically than allowing MEND to brainwash you into surrendering control of our Great Country into their hands?

No be una person be vice president? Y is he going slower than yar'adullard over your issues.

MEND = Mindless Enemies of Nigeria's Democracy
We will fight mend till their ashes are no more and their graves are grinded to sand. Support your country, support JTF!

Shut up there IDIOT, You no know say Nigeria don loose the war already and it is not based on who has superior artillery or can command more force, Its in intangible things like Image of the country which hinders Foreign investments which leads to lack of jobs equalling higher unemplyment which is a catalyst for crime,
Already your patriotic Nigeria is going broke and is borrowing Money from World bank to implement projects.(I thought y'all were debt free, well about to be debt bound again ass hole)why? cos no money from oil.

I support MEND 101% because its an opportunity to re-write the Northern domination of this country. Soon no money to pay their Hisbah police, fund terrorist to terroize people in the north, importing foreigners to fight in the north, using the country's money to send people to the hajj and their islamization of this country. No money no power
