The problem is, I know you people, all you do is beat that empty and shallow chest, but you can never put your money where your mouth is. You can not show us anything your SE governors built in the last 16 years..



Abeg stop because I didn't ask you for story story by the moonlight. Just show us what your governors delivered on your behalf.


I can show you what Aregbe did with his money, but you can not show us anything..


Hypocrites..

You're making a fool of yourself here bro and your brothers are even ashamed to comment. Since Aregberascal can't pay ordinary electricity bills for the state secretariat, how will the Osun people who are majorly dependent on government survive? Banks are not ready to give him more loans, no more bonds and no more bailout. Simply put, Osun state is up for sale. Please, beg the so called Igbo traders to come to the rescue as they are your only hope.

I know you are trying to come up with a sad excuse why you can not show us anything your leaders did with your money..

You have a very flawed and warped belief system since people all over the world elect leaders to solve problems and build infrastructures to make their lives better..

You are basically saying your leaders don't have to do anything with the taxes and allocations they collect on your behalf which is exactly what your SE governors are doing. They sat on your money and still owe salaries and still didn't build anything for you.

You are what they call low expectation electorate... Very very sad I must say...

My dear, you guys are still learners where we are consigned. We are simply the leading light of the nation in all we do. You should be more consigned that can't even pay Nepa bill talkless of salaries. We abhor laziness and are highly republican in nature, very competitive and don't wait for handouts like your peeps and the funniest thing is we even bought Osun state bonds, which means you're indebted to us. Aresa, your people are dying of hunger, please go and look for a way to feed them as Aregberascal and the APC has sold your state.

Even the APC now matches for Nnamdi Kanu

Are these the APC faction of IPOB? Na wa o! This Biafra people must be powerful.

Why is it hard for you people to show us what your governors did with your taxes and allocations?


What ave your governors built?


Nothing...

Sorry. where I come from, we don't believe in government to solve all our problems or feed us. We compete to develop every nook and cranny of our state and currently we lead and others follow.

Ndi Uruagu ka si kwa ebe a. Kudos my people

MrEverest:
You are desperately trying to divert attention from Aregberascals madness. For starters, Anambra state rather increased minimum wage, the only state that could do that despite the reduced federal allocation, scroll down on today's front page & see the world class school structures that exist in Anambra state & tell me if any those huts aregberascal built compares to them! yet the same Anambra state bought Osun bonds not long ago!!

You dey mind the id!ot? We are waiting for him to be done with his madness for us to continue our sane discussions. So finally, Osun state is bankrupt.

@ Op, this is an open secret but remember Igbos ( by this I mean people of eastern region) are special people and all their plans will end up in futility. Watch out.

ThisMeansWars:
read! read!! read!!! yibhoe read and understand ..



You cannot differentiate btw any and many ... Jesus

Please answer the question; which EPL are referring to?

These APC apologists are still being scammed and most have vowed never to make use of their senses.

Still watching the drama in 3D. Very interesting episodesq

A case of missing person and the place is not far from Ogun state.... I hope he hasn't fallen a victim too

SaiBuharii:
Cramjones and Barcanista. Who get sense pass?

I bet you Cramjones get sense pass that Id!ot now known as Tonyebarcanista.

Nigerians are suffering while the old relic called Buhari is busy gallivanting all over the world. He made himself the minister of petroleum and within 6 months wrecked the oil sector thereby causing unprecedented hardship on the populace. Now, he has added the minister of tourism to his portfolio and 500 Nigerians were deported from the UK. Still wondering the next calamity that will happen when he gets to Malta. God save us.

Ok

Meanwhile, with all these challenges Nigerians are facing, The old relic of a president will be leaving for Malta tomorrow. What a shame..

Again?? Chai! My president has turned to Ajala, the traveler whilst the country grinds to a halt. With Buhari, charity starts from abroad.
Passingshot, where are you as Ajala wants to travel again?

Let people control their resources and encourage of petition amongst the states/regions and see reall development. Say no to laziness and underdevelopment

Beremx and Passingshot actually got my respect today. Nigerians are suffering seriously and everybody especially the media are just playing dumb. Let speak out Nigerians irrespective of party affiliation.

MizMyColi:
Beremx and co are being forced to face the reality now that Pshot is leading the thought process.

I have chosen not to complain on this thread or rub salt to injury.

But seriously?
This is a time of sober reflection to all political sycophants.
If perchance I am one without realizing, then I'm not excluded.

Yeah. A real time for sober reflection especially for the new Wailers In Town

To the new wailers especially Passingshot and beremx, I can only say, Good Morning. As per the old relic gaffes, the most stewpid of them all is the 97% and 5% statement. That single statement gave the Biafran agitators the impetus to either get Biafra or die trying with dignity. Buhari is an old relic that has got nothing to offer in this modern age and the most annoying part is, he wouldn't even let or give the guys with ideas in his cabinet the free hand to work. If he continues like this, soon Nigerians will stone him out of that Aso Rock.

Please and please, somebody should tell that old relic called Buhari that we have had enough of these media trials without conviction. 8 months and counting and nobody has been convicted rather all we hear is propaganda by the biased media mostly based in the south west of the country. Nigeria is gradually grinding to a halt and the frustration is building up. No light, no fuel,high food prices, biased media available to the highest bidder, senile president, cinematic senate, bad roads, etc. I think Nigeria is the hell fire described in the bible. Thank God for the spirit of Biafra that has given us hope. Tufiakwa!

babyfaceafrica:
I will ignore your insults.....before the civil war started ,was there any agreement bewteen the niger delta and igbos that the former should support the latter? Or you just expected that because we are neighbours we should support you like that?....decisions are based on facts not sentiments

Yes. There was an agreement cos the general assembly gave ojukwu the mandate to declare the state of Biafra cos all were being murdered in Northern and Western parts of the country. Just to let you know, when the chips are down, to Northerner or Yoruba man, any human from parts of Edo down down to all parts of eastern region is referred as an Igbo man. Do you think you will be spared if they go on their murderous rampage again? I'd!ot.

babyfaceafrica:
Niger delta owes no one an apology......because no agreement was made in the first place....they did what they did to survive.....logically and pragmatically the sided with the side that won...nice decision

Are you not ashamed? Some of your fathers betrayed the Biafran course to strangers and turned you to slaves and servants in your own land and you're happy? Your resources was lifted and used to develop their lands while the owners of the land perish in abject poverty and you're here clowning? Where's your dignity and pride? Tufiakwa! Fcking slave

ITbomb:
But we still have not forgiven Ndigbo for the oppression during the short period and trying to change our names and the names of our towns

Lol..... Igbos tried to change your name and that of your town? Where did you get that from?

The call for Biafran sovereignty is really gathering momentum across the Eastern region. The escalation or de-escalation depends on how it is handled by the old relic in power. So far, he has shown he lacks what it takes to bring together all peoples that make up this geographical entity called Nigeria. He lacks wisdom and diplomacy and that will be his albatross.

COORDINATOR of Ijaw Monitoring Group, Comrade Joseph Evah in this interview calls for unity of purpose among political leaders of the Niger Delta extraction. He opines that with a common voice, the long expected development of the region may become realistic.

By Charles Kumolu

What is your perception of the state of the nation?

The way the Federal Government is handling the Biafra agitation in the East is very dangerous. They are taking the wrong steps by ignoring the agitations that are going on. For the first time since the end of the civil war, we are seeing an organised aigitation. The Igbo man cannot ordinarily abandon his business for something else, but now we are seeing Igbo men leaving their businesses in order to agitate.

That tells you that they are serious. Seeing them sacrificing their time, energy and money, should be enough to make the Federal Government interested in the matter. Threats by the army, are not acceptable. We expect the government to tell us why they are detaining Kanu. Intimidation did not work when we had our Kaima Declaration during the military era. When they threatened us, we became resilient.

Do you think the Igbo man has a cause to protest?

Yes, the Igbo have something to protest against just as the Ijaw man has something to protest against. Why are they denying the Igbo the right of seeing their son, who was arrested? They can’t be denied that right. I went to court to stop the dredging of the River Niger during the military era because there was no environmental assessment. The government under Abacha awarded the contract through the Petroleum Trust Fund, PTF. I went to my lawyer, Femi Falana and we stopped the dredging through legal process.

Comrade Joseph Evah
Comrade Joseph Evah
If the government had not obeyed the judiciary on the matter, we would have resorted to other alternatives which would not have been in the interest of the government. I questioned the justification for wanting to have a sea port in Baro in Niger State, while our ports in Warri, Koko and Akasa were moribund.

Justification for seaport in Baro

They wanted to dredge the River Niger from Warri to Onitsha and to Lokoja before finally connecting it to Baro, which is close to Abuja. So the government should listen to the Igbo the way we were listened to during the military.

Do you think the Niger-Delta region is fairly represented in Buhari’s government?

Niger Deltans are not well represented in the government and we don’t know why they are doing that. Maybe it is being done because the region produced the immediate past president.

But those, who may be thinking in that direction, do not have conscience. If you look at the way Jonathan worked, it will not be difficult to know that the north benefited more from him. He did that because he believed in the unity of this country.

And the new administration has also started treating the Niger Delta people wrongly. For instance the Urhobo nation which is a sophisticated ethnic group has not been given any appointment. We have not seen any solid appointment that befits the Urhobo nation and we are asking them to correct this type of insult.

But Jonathan was also believed to have insulted the Urhobo nation in that regard?

Well, you must have seen my publications. I Joseph Evah, I told Jonathan, ‘You are embarrassing the Urhobo people.’ I don’t do Ijaw struggle, what I do is Niger Delta struggle. That has been our major setback. To see yourself as Ogoni man, Itsekiri man or Ijaw man and so when we are divided the external oppressors will now deal with us.

A number of persons from the Niger Delta region felt that the Ijaw took over everything and looked down on the rest of the Niger Delta people when Jonathan was in power?

A lot of our people were actually misbehaving and we cautioned them. They were behaving as if this was the time for Ijaw people as if it was Christmas Day and the Christmas Day is forever and we cautioned them.

We tried to caution them that Jonathan was representing all Niger Deltans.

In fact, not only the Niger Delta, when people tried to make Jonathan an Ijaw President or tried to do as if Jonathan ends with Ijaw we tried to warn them that it is very dangerous. For example, 100% of the Igbo committed themselves to Jonathan’s presidency. That was why when Ojukwu died, I organised farewell to Emeka Ojukwu. I mobilised over 5000 people to the National Theatre. I paid N1.5 million to mobilise over 5000 people to take over the National Theater for us to celebrate Ojukwu. The Eze Ndi Igbo were there. I took micro finance loan to organize it and I announced it.

Jonathan presidency

The reason was that during the war, we did not follow the Igbos. We supported the northerners against our Igbo brothers. Now, Jonathan is the President of Nigeria, Igbo had to forget about the way we maltreated them during the war, collectively decided to support Jonathan.

Now, the symbol of Igbo greatness, I call him the Ndi Igbo Black Moses, that is Ojukwu, I said there is need for us to celebrate Ojukwu. We will not allow Ojukwu’s burial without the Niger Delta people celebrating Ojukwu. That was why I organised that and thanked the Igbo for forgiving us because during the civil war, we joined outsiders to kill them. Today our son is the President, you Igbo decided to forgive us.

There are calls for the extension of the amnesty programme, which will end by December. Can you tell us the justification for such calls?

The training of the ex-agitators is still ongoing. Many of them still require to be trained. Even the trained ones are jobless. If the APC government is talking about N5,000 Social Security for the jobless, they should consider extending the amnesty programme because the idle mind is the devil’s workshop. It is not that we are encouraging people to be lazy. We are only concerned about how to make our youths productive and self sufficient.

What a clueless statement from a so called minister. What happened to building a regulatory institution that operates without interference? What happened to the law guiding telecoms operations? No wonder Nigeria is called a zoo. Tufiakwa to these charlatans in power.

Rexology:
I told you there is no provision of any law for this scenario and there you are arguing what you know nothing about. What type of attitude is that?

I think the guy is actually right. The election was declared inconclusive thereby making the late Audu a mere candidate of one of the contending political parties. With his death, a new election will be called on a later date
