ahiboilandgas:
keep lying to yourself. Add Bua group and the Largest share holder in Mtn first bank ,flour mills uba ,Mrs oil plc azam air max air , oriental energy,comet shipping, sapetrol Intel logistic are northern owner or major share holder. U think u are talking to babies ....

Lol, how much do these guys pay as tax compared to custom duties and oil revenue?

Is it only north that has companies paying taxes? Lol

North is the parasite jare, confirm all the figures I stated

ahiboilandgas:
it easy type solid mineral contributions to Nation budgets. To cure your ignorance .

is it only north that has solid mineral?
What are you saying na?

Solid mineral is not even a major source of revenue, Government is not interested in that yet.

ahiboilandgas:
ipob graduate when u know the difference between Gpd.and IGR then we talk

Lol, I’m not even Ibo.

Lol, north contributes nothing.

What revenue comes from there?

ahiboilandgas:
agricultural contribute 65 percent of Gpd and the North is the agricultural hub of Nigeria .the bean you eat today was produced in the north by northern the onion the power and the beer and Milo you drank .it all from Millets and sourhgum. Produced in the north by northern people .

Did you bring your statistics from a northern university? Lol

So you think Agriculture has more stake than oil and gas in Nigeria? You are joking.

90 percentage of yearly IGR comes from oil production, custom duties and federal taxes which obviously the north doesn’t contribute much.

You better wake up, north is parasitic

I usually do not make posts on nairaland politics section but I have to address this charade of Senator Ndume as regards undermining the the contributions of southeast in Nigeria. I’m going to do this with Figures vis-à-vis the figures come north to show that northerners are conning people into staying in Nigeria, which is obviously failing.

Oil revenue and other
In 2017, the NBS released oil revenue figures of all Nigerian oil producing states which totals 32billion USD, assuming that we share the sentiment of subtly dissociating igbos in southsouth from their counterparts in Southeast, IMO and Abia combined accounted for 1.7% of this revenue, 1.7% of 32billion is 544million USD. It means that Imo and Abia brought 544million USD to Nigeria in 2017.

In this same year, southeast states received a total federal allocation of 152.9billion which is 459.1million USD using 333per dollar rate as it was obtainable in 2017.

Imo and Abia alone made 544million USD, this figure indicates that south east actually generated their own federal allocation. This cannot be said about the north’s humongous allocation, they feed from other south southern states


This will help create a picture to help you see who steals from who? Southeast earned every allocation they get, north steals from southsouth.
This is clearly seen as the total revenue generated in 2017, 65% of this was from oil while a substantial remaining Came from Lagos ports and business which igbos also contributed a large stake in terms of Importations of goods and federal taxes. Northerners don’t do importation a lot and they don’t have business paying taxes a lot.

We can hardly see the contribution of the northern states and their people here vis-à-vis the amount they get in term of allocations.


I am not an Igbo guy but it’s totally irrational to think that north is not the parasite here. They never earn whatever they get in Nigeria.

As matter of fact, aside Lagos and maybe ogun state and the oil producing states, other states include all 19northern states are parasites. None of them earn whatever they get.

ahiboilandgas:
food security (beans ,yam ,patatos ,onion millet maize tomatos beef .carrot , etc) hyro power for electricity, export channel to several African nation for local industries .solid minerals

So what percentage of the GDP does that account for?

Let’s do the analysis

LegendHero:
I don’t know if everything else he said is true but the below is 100% true!

The SE as a zone contribute very little to the national purse.

What is the north contributing?

I am eager to know what the northern states bring to the table

ShobayoEmma:
Now I abjectly believe no tribe in Nigeria is as wise as my
tribe.
Even if you gain your independence, do you put the cost of
the damaged infrastructure into account of what would be
an infant nation then?



Buhari, a good man with evil Intensions

You don’t seem very wise. Japan and Germany were totally distroyed during wwii, the were bankrupt but they built their cities to meet 21century standard.

Money don’t build places, wills and ideas does. Any serious country can catch up with the developmental level of Nigeria in no time. Nigeria is not developed and a serious government can achieve a Nigeria from scratch in less than 10years.

The long term benefit of leaving Nigeria outweighs the risks by far.

100? Shey na war?

John 1 : 1-5 niv

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.

The Bible is a religious book of myths like any other religious book. It’s usually not regarded as a source of evidence in a standard proof finding system.

I don’t think the Bible is a very good source of proofs and evidence. A lot of stuffs in the Bible are quite hilarious and more of myths than reality.

Dtruthspeaker:
You obviously have no knowledge of biology and geography if not your void of knowledge self would have known about moonless cycles and that there is no photosynthesis in the dark deep. So you are not fit to argue with me, after all as you said, I can not compell you to accept anything, so keep your anythings!

Can you just stop talking?

Dtruthspeaker:
In truth, there is still light even when it rains at night and the stars are covered.

That is the Wonder about the Light God created!

damn

Dtruthspeaker:
You do not know much and in fact you did not know that "ignorance" means to ignore information which is different from lack of knowledge or knowing.

And again you either do not know or you failed to remember the photosynthesis test for sun light and yet plant organisms grow in caves and pits where no sun is.

Carry out your own tests to know that which is True!

Stop being the lazy I don't know anything Nigerian youth who only accepts information he likes yet wondering why he is unemployable.

Trying knowing for a change!

so you don’t know that moon light is a reflection of sunlight at another wavelength that plants cannot absorb for photosynthesis?

This is so funny that you think you know a lot whereas you are so ignorant. Lol

Dtruthspeaker:
The sun is not the Source of all light for why do you see at night, when Nepa has taken the light and the torch, (the sun) is on the other side of the world?

Think and remember light rays move in straight lines!

And if you been in cave or in a house in a bush,you would know that there is Another light apart from the sun.

lol
Really?
You are this ignorant?

Kobojunkie:
Where do you get this idea that I have been trying to argue anything when I told you clearly told you, in several ways mind you, that this is an exercise in meaninglessness?

ok

Kobojunkie:
I didnt write Genesis 1 vs 1-14,so I can't provide you the answers you think you seek since I wasn't there to witness the events in question. If you want to believe the writer indeed made a blunder, please go on with that.

So what point have you been trying to make?
Why all the argument?

Kobojunkie:
Did the writer of the book of genesis not indicate that the lights in the sky(sun, moon and stars) were assigned as sources to separate the light from the nights respectively on the 4th day -Genesis 1 vs 14 ?

Is the OP not attempting to argue that what is stated in Genesis 1 vs 14 a blunder given that day and night had already been previously established in Genesis 1 vs 3- 5, this days before the 4th day?

So what light was the Bible talking about on the first day and what was separated?

The Bible also committed a blinder in terms separation of lights for the and night. Both lifts are from one source.

Kobojunkie:
Again, none of this matters to this topic. This is simple enough. The writer informed you that the systems you are aware of today and consider logical did not come into existence until after the 4th day. Attempting to counter his claim using that which you know of today is meaningless.

He didn’t say that, the Bible said that and he pointed to the error.

Did you carefully understand his premise of argument?

Dtruthspeaker:
You first brought your own uninformed opinion and it has been examined and torn to shreds and you could not defend it, so it is a Lie!

Do not bring lies to people hungry for truth. You have a right to eat lies but do not offer it to the hungry that it is True! It is exactly as selling fake medicines and food.

That's why I am against you and all I am against, FOR THERE IS NO VALID DEFENCE OF A LIE which is why you do not wish to contend with me, which is better than trying to and failing, Because Truth Gets Stronger and Stronger with each opposition while the Liar will be humiliated as God has Set and Commanded, FOR THE TRUTH OF THE LORD IS VERILY ESTABLISHED FOREVER AND NONE CAN ALTER IT!

this is your opinion and you can’t force me to accept it

Kobojunkie:
Yet again you are mistaken.... we are told that what we know and accept as logical today did not come into existence until after the 4th day. I have not attempted to arguement against or for it but simply seen fit to accept the writer's claim as is since there is no way to prove otherwise.

We have seen stars form, thanks to the Hubble’s space telescope.
It’s impossible for a planet to orbit or form without its star.
It’s also very impossible for anything to survive on earth without the sun energy supply and balance in gravitational forces and centrifugal force of a spinning earth.

Aside that, radiometric dating of radioactivity elements shows that the sun is at least 100million years older than earth.

Above all, it’s even very illogical to think that plants can even survive without the sun. It doesn’t make sense to think that plants existed before the sun.

We have loads and loads of evidence to show that genesis chapter 1 is simply a laughable story.

Kobojunkie:
ROFLMAO

What you have just said sounds like what I would expect from my 6-year old nephew.

So, why can't light exist independent of the sun?

Your argument was that light can exist on earth outside Of the sun during creation.
That’s not logical sir

Kobojunkie:
ROFLMAO

What you have just said sounds like what I would expect from my 6-year old nephew.

So, why can't light exist independent of the sun?

Sorry but I think you are the person who dont get the basics of stellar light production. I’m sorry if this is derogatory but I don’t know how else to say it.

The only sources of light in the universe are from stars and hawking’s radiations from blackholes, however we cannot possibly see light sources from the closest blackholes emitting hawkings radiation with our naked eyes from earth, you need sophisticated equipments to detect that.
The primary source of light in the solar system is from the star called “the sun”, the closest star to solar system is the Proxima Centauri and it takes about 4.2years for a light photon to travel from Proxima Centauri to earth. That’s how far it is.

I think you should go through what I just explained and study a bit of astronomy , then you will see how illogical it is to say that light could exist in the solar system without the sun.

Aside what I explained, it impossible to determine a day passing on earth without the sun. It’s basic science. The earth orbits the sun and the sun is responsible for putting the sun in orbit, it’s logically impossible for any life to exist without the sun putting the earth in orbit, it’s the basis for life on earth.

The notion that four days passed with life without the sun is laughable and highly irrational in the scientific world. Days and nights cannot happen without a planet orbiting a star ( in this case the sun).

How is it possible to control a machine that keeps learning and learning?
A lot of scientists and researchers are of the opinion that AI are the biggest existential threat to human race and are even more dangerous than nukes.

One part of Fermi’s paradox says that intelligent lives always destroy themselves from within. Is AI that point at which we will destroy ourselves or can we ever control them?

foreverme1225:
3 And God said: “Let there be light.” Then there was light. 4 After that God saw that the light was good, and God began to divide the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, but the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, a first day.
How old are you?

I think you are the person who doesn’t get op’s point.

What light was the Bible talking about here?

Dtruthspeaker:
And I clearly told you that it was God (Christianity) who is the Creator and Setter of Morality as Shown and Proven by God's Laws..

There is no other law or peoples anywhere in the world whose laws or instructions have all the Moralities in this world Except and Only God's Law.

No other Morality exists anywhere in this world!

This is your opinion and I hugely disagree with you. But I don’t think it’s a good idea engaging you, I don’t want an endless argument.
Please kindly avoid me.

jesusjnr2020:
I must admit the standard of Christianity has really fallen short as you pointed out.

Not that Christians of the early church were all perfect, but the moral standard of the lives they lived at the time was very high and exemplary, that an erring "Ananias and Sapphira" could easily spotted from the crowd.

These days, "Ananias and Sapphiras" are now the ones that dominate the church, that it's those who are like the early Christians that now find themselves out of place. And you were right when you attributed such an unfortunate development to the "Antichrist" gospel of grace, which undermines the works of righteousness and hence made iniquity to abound in the church.

But as I said, there are yet those who are true and living with the same high moral standard of the early church even though they are few in comparison to those who aren't.

So those are the ones you should consider instead, or better still, let Christ the perfect Master be the basis you decide to become a Christian if you wanted one.

God bless.

Bless you too but my point is that Christianity or religion isn’t the arbiter of morality.

It was hijacked by religion

Dtruthspeaker:
A THING IS TRUE ONLY AFTER IT IS HOTLY TESTED. That is why God keeps referring to Gold and Silver for cleansing, because they are Purer and Shine brighter with more heat, Exactly as Truth is!

So kill me, I will speak The Truth till I depart.

If you can not validly and Truth Fully respond against me, then the Truth I bring stands, Exactly as you it does in your daily transaction!

So kill me, I will still speak The Truth!

Lol

Dtruthspeaker:
Because The Only way to see Truth is that No One Can Fault it, for that is What Truth is. It is Flawless and Faultless.

I am not standing up for my glowry I am standing up to help all see that Truth is Always a Solid Unbeatable Mountain Anywhere, Every where and You Can Trust it, because it is Strong and God Upholds it Himself, which is why No One Can Go Through it Exactly as The Bible says "For the arms of the wicked will be broken but The Lord Upholds the righteous." Psalm 37:17

So if one of us is not raised up to show the world that he is not broken and can not be broken as the Bible hath said, how then can people confidently trust in God and Rely on His Words?

This world is plenty with Lies and as you can see everyone is Truly Confused as to know that which is True from that which is A Lie.

Therefore, I rise up that ONLY TRUTH CAN SHINE and I Come to Destroy Every Lie Out there.

That is the purpose behind my action and the Only way that this can be Proven is to Stand Proven.

It is not for my glory but because I see and fear that many will die because of the Lies whereas I could have told them The Truth.

So I come to say Only The Unbeatable God Held Truths before I depart from this world!

its funny how you think you are the person saying the truth here.
