Chai! No Messi or Ronaldo. End of a glorious era

We in Nigeria should really put those northern Muslims in check. it's obvious that's where they want Nigeria to look like. Tufiakwa!!!

obynzo:
That is a very stupid statement from you. 5states that was politically created to whittle down the influence of Ibos politically is what you are saying ibos are claiming everybody. A british historian studied the igbo tribe and designated them as the largest tribe in the oil rivers protectorate which starts from Agbor and Ends in Akassa and Brass in Bayelsa state. The subdivisions are the Western Igbo(Agbor, Ogwashi Ukwu, Ibusa or Ibuzor and Asaba) Central or Onitsha division(Onitsha down to Arochukwu encompassing Abakaliki, Ebonyi) and the Coastal ibos( Ndoki, Ikwerre, Asa, Opobo and the Diobu)

Are you minding the idiot! Look at how they sheepishly follow a political demarcation of states made by the northern military men. No wonder the north were able to reduce their community allocation from 5% they previously enjoyed down to 2% in the revised PIB law. After they'll start pouring all their hate on Igbo, while the real people they should vent their angers to, they are busy leaking their ass

Let's be honest, Nigeria tech industry is the only that's exciting about Nigeria especially fintech industry along with her burgeoning entertainment industry. thanks to southern Nigeria that keeps pushing it.

Religion of "Piss" is at it once again. Biden has officially committed the biggest error in American History

Just more companies that are into quarry business. it's all good all the same

Truly Biden has proven he's a weakling. You have just allowed a breeding ground for Al-Qaeda to spring up its ugly head again

I hope they win. These banks are all big time criminals

JosephXavier:
Whenever there are list of names fir merits either academically or careers wise by international institutions or multinationals, the list will just be Igbos and Yorubas

But once their is a political appointment by Nigerian FG, it must be 90% Northern Muslim and 10% being distributed by the rest of the country

That's why whenever they hear "Biafra" or "Oduduwa" those unity beggars will start having nightmares. They know they are leeches and will never survive should the southern part of Nigeria secede. So they do everything possible to maintain the "forced" unity. Everything that makes Nigeria thick lies in the southern part

Chai see as you finish biggie

I swear down. Na see finish. Biggy needed to put more life in the house. It's apparent set of housemates were acting too over mature for biggies liking

this smells like Alexreports handiwork. It can only be him that will promoting people we don't give a Bleep about on nairaland

Twitter is not even bothered with their ban. Nigerians are still using their services with VPN, they are still making cool money. Last I checked their share price was on an upward swing. Buhari true true, no get sense, No wonder Twitter located their regional quarters in Accra.

Finally the NBS statistics is here ... propaganda used to sustain Yoruba Nation

Can one point where the development and investors are In Nasarawa... apart from MARARABA AXIS.. which other area is developed or investors trooping in... Lafia or Akwanga? To the tone of $300mil.

Ogun State .. that we all know nothing is moving in that state from Abeokuta to Ota..

Where is ? and who are the investors to the tone of $500mils
My people in ogun can you name or point out FDI in Ogun State .. in this quarter .

Not to talk more of Kogi and Ekiti.. Ekiti is even worst..
a ghosted Capital with deserted cities is said to have over $100mil..

How and where are all this figures coming

This people will just wake and cook up figures to sustain allocation.. same deserted Ekiti will record over 1million votes during elections
And one begin to wonder.

Anyway Na themselves dem they do .. every Nigeria know say this named states are nothing in reality

While states like delta abia anambra that is pushing on ground is nowhere near..

Remember one time the listed Osun State.. now asking where are those Osun investors all gone to.

Reality is different from Yoruba NBS statistics..

Stop acting like pained igbo boy. Must everything been seen from prism of enthic sentiments? If you can't be logical, get off here and stop making it feel like igbos are hateful lots. bunch of self-servicer

All these funky northerners claiming igbo. Let's be careful with these folks, that's how they'll penetrating the igbo community and will later start claiming that Igbo muslims are indigenous to the population all in a bid to expand fulani hegemony discreetly

This one born-again for ndi pastors wey dey cut eyes for church girls

I knew that project wasn't viable in the first place. When GEJ's administration did an investor roadshow for both Ob3 gas project and AKK gas project. Investors were only interested in the OBJ gas project because it made sense to them. Supply industrial areas like Ogun, Lagos and other cities within the ecowas region was a lot more profitable and cheaper than investing 2.8billion dollars for building pipeline for Kaduna and Kano who don't have heavy industries like we have in the southern part.
Even the ANOH gas project in Imo state sponsored by Shell and Seplat will connect with OB3 and the rest supplied to growing industrial areas in the southeast. Anyway i didn't expect anything intelligent to come from Buhari's administration. What drove that project was sheer nepotism

If only Igboho stopped running like a coward & turned himself in, his kinsmen will not have to be seeking greener pastures in 4th world nations.

This girl's blood is on Igboho's hands!

You are a fool of epic proportion. You are in urgent need of psychiatric evaluation

Nigeria is seeking $1 billion so work can continue on a gas pipeline costing up to $2.8 billion after Chinese lenders which had pledged to offer most of the funds did not disburse cash as quickly as expected, three sources close to the matter said.

It is the latest sign of falling Chinese financial support for infrastructure projects across Africa, after years of major Chinese lending for railway, energy and other projects.

A spokesman for state oil company NNPC, which is building the 614-km (384-mile) Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) pipeline, said it was still negotiating with the Chinese lenders – Bank of China and Sinosure – to cover $1.8 billion of the project cost.

“There’s no cause for alarm,” the spokesman said, without saying whether NNPC was turning to other lenders.

But the three sources told Reuters the company was now approaching others, including export-import institutions, to continue work on the pipeline that will run through the middle of the West African country to its northern economic hub Kano.

Chinese lenders had originally been lined up to fund the bulk of the estimated $2.5 billion to $2.8 billion cost of the project, which is central to President Muhammadu Buhari’s plan to develop gas resources and boost development in northern Nigeria.

NNPC, which was funding 15%, said last year it had used its own funds to start construction. The sources said the Chinese lenders would not agree to disburse the cash NNPC had expected by the end of the summer, prompting it to turn to others.

“They are looking at Nigeria as one loan, and right now, they feel they are too exposed,” one source said.

Bank of China said it would not comment on specific deals. Sinosure did not respond to a request for comment.

The Nigerian ministries of transport, finance and petroleum also did not reply to requests for comment.

Chinese bank lending to African infrastructure projects has fallen across the continent, from $11 billion in 2017 to $3.3 billion in 2020, a Baker McKenzie report said in April.

With the continent facing an estimated annual $100 billion infrastructure investment deficit, the loss of Chinese funding leaves a big gap to fill.

Nigeria began building the AKK pipeline in June 2020, saying it would help generate 3.6 gigawatts of power and support gas-based industries along the route. The project was to be funded under a debt-equity financing model, backed by sovereign guarantee and repaid through the pipeline transmission tariff.

NNPC awarded engineering and construction work along three sections of the pipeline to Oando, OilServe, China First Highway Engineering Company, Brentex Petroleum Services and China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau.

Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi said this month Nigeria was negotiating a mix of loans from Chinese and European lenders to fund railway projects, after media reports said it had initially planned to rely primarily on Chinese banks.

CSTRR:
Well, how has the North maintained their strategic advantage?

By unity of purpose.

The south must do the same.
It is obvious but somehow it has proven difficult to do.

All these Igbo presidency, Yoruba presidency, south south presidency is a distraction from the real issue.

The North is using it to their advantage.
They will just divide and conquer and push on with their strategic objectives.

We need to start playing the same politics.
Get a decent Southern candidate, support him and then load him with our own agenda.

A southern president that was voted on broad Southern mandate will have the courage to stand up to the North and carry out progressive agenda that the south wants.

We all want the same thing- south east, south south , south west.

A rapidly progressive and prosperous country that can hold its own comity of nations and evolve with the times.
We need to start to pushing for that by real actions.

The North have a radically different National objectives.
Nigeria is been created in their image.

I must confess. You're one of the most enlightened minds I've come across here in nairaland. You're deep thinker and you truly understand the game the northern people are playing. It's just shameful we have a bunch of ignorant southerners who are stuck quabbling with themselves rather than face the real enemy.
I wish it's your type of leaders who are deep thinkers like you are at the helms of affairs

Abujason:
Akwa Ibom is in SS not SE.
Know your geography
Stop displaying your foolishness and lack of knowledge publicly

You are the one who needs to study geography the more because it's obvious you don't know that 'south-south' is not a geographical location but a geo-political zone. If anything, Akwa-ibom abd cross-river are the real easterners

be like say this 'kerichoco' go fit Buhari oo

NigeriaZoo:
Leave thinking for others, you are clearly not equipped for reasoning.

Exactly there's no point engaging in a debate with that dumb bitch. Just imagine at who she's comparing with MNK, Osama, a known jihadist globally?

it's very obvious that Lai Mohammed has infected agencies of government with the "propaganda disease". One thing is clear, MNK and Sunday Igboho have succeeded in planting the seed of secession the heart of every true southerner who knows that Nigeria is bleeped up and truly irredeemable. Gradually government is spending more scarce resources "fruitlessly" ensuring the fragile unity of the nation. it will dawn on them someday to realise that the cost of keeping Nigeria one is far too expensive and we better off divided from those marauding northerners.
Let the whole of the south cut off from the parasitic north, Benue and Taraba are welcome to join if they like

Rights to self determination is a universal right which is enshrined in both UN and AU charters and to which Nigeria is a signatory to, which means she upholds the belief of self-determination. Self-determination is not equated to terrorism. Nnamdi Kanu has only sought one thing and that is the right for his people to determine their own future "peacefully", since it's obvious to all that igbos do not have any bright future politically in Nigeria, no thanks to the people up north that hate them and vowed to always frustrate that political moves.
MNK has always advocated for achieving Biafra through peaceful means without resorting to war. He's always called for a referendum so that the people can get to decide their political future. He has ample evidence to prove that. On the charges of terrorism, it is the FG that stands guilty of it considering the fact that they've repeatedly use the instrumentality of state power to terrorize and victimize all those who voice their support for Biafra or support self-determination under the guise of fighting terrorism but left the terrorist up north to have a field day even to extent of forming a quasi-government and raising illegal taxation from the local population.
If the British people are smart and enlightened as they claim to be, they'd know that the real terrorist is not MNK but the FG. The only good thing about these is that MNK has "somewhat" opened all southerners eyes to the possibility of deciding their own political future and cutting off from the this dead shithole country

Anambra should follow up with their laws. Let's remind those vagabonds up north that Nigeria isn't their grandfather's inheritance. Time to dissolve this shithole country

Part of the reasons I support MNK to dissolve this shithole. It's not worth living together with these sets of terrorists

Good job boyd

RichDad1:
Beautifulocation.
These are the type of tourism attractions that Kanu and his ESN wild dogs wants to demarket for the SE.

He ain't demarketing shit. We just wanna get out of this shithole country that ain't favouring us.

Those are the kinds of things I like to spend my money on

It changes nothing. Even Ojukwu was believed and fought for Nigeria until it dawned on him that Nigeria ain't worth dying for. Considering how the northerners have so cornered everything and decided to marginalize the southeast politically
