@bolded, if that works, i will be delirious. Atleast that will make them see no reason in being a part of Nigeria anymore. They will thereby demand true federalism which leads to eventual splitting up of Nigeria.

Between Hausa/fulano and Yorubas, i give it to the latter, with their Lagos, as the greatest beneficiary of One Nigeria.

kayfra:
Your reaction betrays how incredulous the thought of a niger delta republic really is. I know them since I am partly niger delta.

HopeAtHand:
When i read some of his comments, i simply SMH. He seems aloof, it doesn't occur to him the huge favor the ND is doing the SWest by ensuring his people are able to work amongst us. If oil was situated in SWest, his people with their high level tribalism will never allow nonYorubas work in the IOCs, much more having the corporate HQs of the IOCs away from Yorubaland.

Seems he wants the list of the Niger Delta Avengers to include amongst other things the sacking of non NDeltans from IOCs operating im NDelta.

It is like you aearen't aware of the 2023 prospect to flood the auto market with electric cars

These cars won't need charging stations. They can run on either solar energy or wind energy.

I have a model of how you can run a car using wind energy. The energy generated by wind will charge the battery and keep the car always working. No more petrol/gas or diesel will ever be needed.

If me an ordinary Nigerian can have such an idea, you think those Chinese, Japanese, English and Americans will not have even better ideas?

Don't place your mind on oil and gas anymore. It is a goner.

kayfra:
Lolz a republic with President Tompolo and Vice President Boyloaf. Asari Dokubo will be jostling for House Speaker.

HopeAtHand:
They shud just sack all Your Brothers working in IOCs in tbe Niger Delta and replace them with NDeltans.

blazer234:
Forget oil and gas. It is losing its economic importance. In 5 years from now, oil will be almost useless worldwide.

AnakinSkywalker:
This is why proper understanding and maturity must be displayed by the citizens of the Republic.
In my opinion, greed will make this impossible. Even if an agreement is reached on the issue of leadership, the agreement will be broken by the greedy, hungry, elite. This is the major fear of Nigeria splitting up. Splinter civil wars will break out and it will take years to quell.

Note, my response is without prejudice to the fact that I am not in support of Nigeria splitting.

koboko69:
Pipelines have always been blown up for decades. How have that helped our region so far. The only help i have seen is making some select criminals rich. Some of the select criminals even have their investments outside Nigeria not even in the ND.
We graduates and undergraduates are forming online warriors, while criminals claiming to be fighting for us are getting richer.
The first victims of activities of this militants are the hoat community followed by the Nifer deltans before Nigeria as a whole, this does not affect light, foood, or whatever in Aso Rock, or politicians with kids abroad. We are the ones to suffer it. Be guided in what u support.

oduastates:
Remove itshekiris land from that crap.
Kuwait no dey join the Iraqi.
Internet warriors,Ipob and those militants buffoons are in for a surprise in case of the eventuality.
Maybe edo state state will like to follow oil but, as far as I know, itshekiris will be on their own in the future whether within Nigeria or without.
And Protected.

koboko69:
Our bother was there for 5 years. What exactly did he do plz? Just asking....

oduastates:
You know it as NPA warri.
omoluabis know it as the warri ports which used to be under the western regional government and was a secondary port uses to export cocoa, timber and palm oil from the region.
Benin, sapele and warri were all boom towns and whatever you find in ibadan, you will find in these towns.
By the way, What are you getting at?

oduastates:
Apart from edo,cross river and akwa ibom, the rest of the Niger -delta are so overrun by Ijaw criminals and militias, that it will take a leader with an iron fist and will to pacify it.
These guys and the politicians who support them have turned the place into a festering sore.
They have rendered much of these states desolate that the only investors ready to out any money there are into high risk / high reward ventures ( oil and gas).

oduastates:
Most of it and Because of their activities, they have given the foreign oil companies the excuse or something to blame

7lives:
Don't mind them, later they will come and cry about how headquarters of their OYEL companies are located in Lagos and how their people are not being employed, as if we don't know how they have been selling the job slots given to them by the oil companies for 1-2 millions respectively eni to so apo ogbon nu, apo iya lo so ko.

modath:
As for the other point about Toll, you only pricked Europe and left the US (I've been in a ride with someone in a big city and my "chauffeur" decided to take an alternative route to avoid paying the couple of dollars cos it wasn't rush hour) I can't claim to have traveled all the schengen roads in Europe but been in one country and witnessed a tolling situation of regular road users.....

Cc ; WeNigerDelta ... @ highlighted!!

modath:
There was no "law" guiding road tax, Obasanjo in his usual way of executive order made the declaration and that was that .

As for the other point about Toll, you only pricked Europe and left the US (I've been in a ride with someone in a big city and my "chauffeur" decided to take an alternative route to avoid paying the couple of dollars cos it wasn't rush hour) I can't claim to have traveled !

Daniel2802:
My village Ogwashi uku in Aniocha South LGA has not seen light for more than 5yrs with no pipe borne water, to make the matter worse bore hole water can't be drilled. Basic social amenities especially water should be provided to all the villages in Delta. let the oil money be used to develop all part of the state.

dragonking2:
It is high time we deltans vote for candidates that are worth it and not one useless governor that won't do anything for years...If after 4years okowa doesn't have anything to show he should be booted out..No more automatic 8years again... Go to other states and see infrastructural development... See road construction, educational development, rehabilitation 9f government state schools and universities etc....You will never see anything like that in delta, then one fish head will go to an abandoned project of 16 years and will claim that is his achievement after 4years...Enough of ibori boys controlling delta state... We need development now

WeNigerDelta:
Abegi, forget that talk....This is the same crew that has been ruling Delta forever, na dem dem don dey chop the money since 1999....
Why can't Okowa probe Uduaghan? Delta has been operating turn by turn come and chop government...
It's Okowa's turn simple, they will always gives excuses why should accept our sorry state. When they all had a hand directly in putting us here.

Amiano:
I'm seriously praying for okowa to perform better than d past governors bt having a debt of over #350b n monthly wage bill of #7b, i tink he is going to struggle to initiate or execute capital intensive projects.

Uduaghan looted d state dry n i wonder y EFCC has nt even mentioned his name nt to talk of investigating him. D state account general had to go into hiding because he was tired of signing cheques dat was nt meant for development purpose

dragonking2:
Since democracy, delta state has been caused with useless governors...Okowa won't do anything, he has been complaining that there is no money despite receiving huge sums from FG allocation... Useless governor

tinnymerit:
Bill gate was praised because he started microsoft and not because of ascent or grammar,bezos was praised because he started amazon,larry page and sergey brin owned goggle reason they were known not because they can differentiate consonants from vovels,mark zuckerberg created facebook and not a book yet hes known by 98% of pple in the world.I really love the russians,they speak their language even when they are doing world meetings not because dey dont understand English but just because dey cherish their language.In germany,you hardly sees microsoft in govt pararstatals but their homemade Operating System.I think with all these i am able to convince you and not confused you that brain is better than grammar or books.

NOETHNICITY:
Was born and brot up in d South! Am aware Police constantly raid hotels where possible prostitution take place! Stop being hypocritical!

ItsMeAboki:
For someone who had been a prolific contributor on this forum, you are showing a surprising degree of ignorance on this matter.
The constitution guarantees every citizen the right to freedom of religion, Sharia being a right for Muslims, Hisba Police a tool of enforcement within same for Muslims and State Houses of Assemblies as necessary means for states to enact appropriate laws relevant and suitable/peculiar to them for the over all common good of their ppl - all of which are well accommodated within the Nigerian constitution; though this may not stop many hard-line bigots from being in denial and spreading their misconceived perspective on the matter even after they had failed to successfully challenge or have it overturned by the supreme court.

Kay17:
Weigh the effectiveness of this tweet with potential allies and a tweet saying sorry to a corper who died from election violence. The tweet saying sorry is actually useless. Rather than tweet that, why not take a more effective option of ordering the IGP to investigate the matter.

Boko Haram is extremely motivated and dangerous, they succeeded in wasting away an entire state as large as Southwest Nigeria. The fact Lagosians feel isolated from the war (it is a civil war) does not mean Boko Haram doesn't have the will and resources to break a full scale insurgency to their doorstep.

I think Buhari is justified to send out that tweet.

duni04:
Oga stop confusing people. You can go short on a stock for 6 months or even more. Shorting means buying a stock in anticipation of falling price. I can borrow fbnh shares from my broker at N3.7 in anticipation of the price falling to N3.2, sell at a cheaper price after the price would have plummethed and then return the same quantity of units to my broker with profit. And FYI I know brokers in Nigeria that give stocks to people to short and retrieve them back after the prices would have fallen.

courage89:
Long position simply means you're holding the equity for a very long time. Short position means the reverse, you're holding the equity for a short duration. Short duration may be for one day, 3 months or 6 months depending on one's definition. Shorting a stock in principle is the same as JIJO. Objectives, strategies and practice of "short" differs when comparing developed economies with emerging markets. This is because developed economies have advanced financial instruments such as derivatives; options, swap, forwards that makes shorting an asset more apparent, effective and efficient. While these instruments are not available in our market.
