Well, a bias constitution only needs ammendment, and that is the reason that each state have representatives in the Legislative houses, we should make sure they do their jobs. I think we channel all of our energies into criticizing the President while ignoring the State government and our Parliamentarians. This should change.

Regarding the civil war, I think it was ill-conceived. That war, was not necessary at that time. The SS/SE was not under threat, the SE/SS people were actively involved in governance as soldiers, so it was a vendetta of some sort, and we paid gravely for it. Today, we are happy that it happened because we are now a feared people, we have risen from the ashes of defeat and have conquered local economies of Nigeria in all of the regions. The fighting spirit of the SS/SE people knows no limitation as individuals but as a group, we are totally dysfunctional. This is where the SW and North derive their strength.

Your grand father is a useless liar, I spit on his grave. How could cocoa money have been shared among the various regions in Nigeria when other regions were producing their rubber and palm oil which made Nigeria the highest exporter of those products at that time?
Shame on you and your lying grand father. No one benefitted from your cocoa money.

RevDesmondJuju:
Ab0ki the sooner you realize that Nigeria as a nation is not sarcosant and just to both the ND and SE the better for you.

God did not create Nigeria on the 7th day of creation and so being a man made fraud it can be easily taken down by the collective will of those who do not see any reason to remain with you.

Your threats are empty and whatever aggression you bring will be repayed in double!

Now begin your weaning process

Why do you want to be in the same ccountry with ppl that don't want to be in the same country with you? That's one thing I don't get about you hausa and yoruba. Why do you guys keep insisting of this "one nigeria". Na by force to share a nation?
The country is not working, we all can see it's not working. We don't like eachother, we keep killing eachother and now ppl want out yet you ppl keep trying to force a one nation. Wtf?

look you this shameless osu, I don't have time for your tomfoolery. Believe whatever nonsense your lying village uncles tell you in your village squares, you cup of tea. Cocoa was the number export commodity before oil was discovered, you can go and die for all I care.

Rose2014:


And the leaders before him were not corrupt right?

kastonkastrol:
you crazy. Why are you trying to reverse history when everyone knows how cocoa sustained the nation in the 50s? My grandfather was a cocoa farmer in the 50s and I have first hand info about how cocoa money was shared between the various regions in Nigeria before the black oil was discovered. So stop saying rubbish mister man.

The attache by force is your people who are trying to get the niger/deltans in your biafra struggle by fire by force when is obvious the niger/deltans don't really want to associate with you that much.

AhmedMustapha:


Nigeria was created by the colonial masters in 1914 and amalgamation has never been our problem. All Nigerians must work together to ensure sustainable development in the country and dividing the country doesn't solve any problem. You have to understand that you can not speak for the millions of Niger-Deltans and Easterners who have worked hard to ensure this country remains one. You'll be surprised when millions of your people will vote to remain in Nigeria. Anyway I know you have been singing this song since 1960 and nothing has changed so you are free to keep singing

kastonkastrol:
am not disputing the fact that shell-bp were responsible for discovering the oil, but the fact you hypocrites don't want everybody to know is the involvement of the nigerian government and the role it plays in supporting shell-bp with the cocoa and groundnut money in discovering the oil. What was our two major exports before oil was discovered? Was it not cocoa and groundnut? Your palmoil/rubber didn't even come third because cotton was generating more money than rubber/palmoil. A foreign company can't just come into a country to dig whatever mineral they want without the knowledge and support of the said country. Cocoa money was used to discover the oil you people are crying about. Go and ask any person and you will still get the same answer.

Btw stop listening to the lies your uncles tell you in your village squares

The solution to our problems in Nigeria irrespective of whatever part of the country we come from is GOOD GOVERNANCE. That is what the average Nigerian wants, it is few unscrupulous politicians and elites who are very comfortable like Ankio Briggs that keeps fanning the embers of tribal hatred and division of Nigeria.

Let's get down to the slums of Niger Delta and ask them what they really want, they will tell you they want good roads, good drnking water and all basic amenities that makes life easier, they will never say that they want another country. It is our fraudulent politicians and elites that goes to town to tell the average Nigerian how a particular person or tribe hates them.

If you go the market to buy pepper, will the pepper seller ask you where you come from before he or she will sell or will you begin to ask which pepper seller is from Niger Delta before you patronise him or her.

Let's get wiser as Nigerians and stop falling for the sweet coated mouths like Ankio Briggs and others who are already made [does Ankio Briggs in that video look like someone who is suffering or have no money?] They don't really love their people like we think or who would imagine that likes of Yinka Odumakin and his wife will fall under the anointing of Jonathan's dollars after displaying their so called passion for Nigerians.

My Friends and brothers from the Niger Delta, all you need is GOOD GOVERNANCE and you will be fine, if only your Governors and Local Chairmen can be more accountable with all the money they get from Abuja, you will be fine, don't fall for their lies when they tell you that other Nigerians hate you and pocket all the money meant to develop your region.

quit that illusion, kid! You think those your brothers who were executed in indonesia were identified as igbo? You can't leave this country with your igbo passport(which does not exist), but with Nigerian passport to go and commit crime. You people have done more damage to the image of Nigeria than any other tribe. You claim not to be a Nigerian, but your people are in every nooks and crannies of Nigeria. You don't even enjoy the peace of mind you enjoy in other parts of Nigeria in your own region.

kastonkastrol:
even America was poor at a certain time before it eventually became what it is today... So I don't get your drift. I say again, An inch of Nigeria territory can't be negotiated. From north to west, east to south all belongs to the nigerian people.

You one very stubborn liar. I've been noticing a lot of your likes who keep telling terrible lies about the history of Nigeria's petroleum industry. Hopefully the link below will keep you liars silent going forward: http://www.mondaq.com/x/10726/Legal+Framework+Of+The+Nigerian+Petroleum+Industry

For those lazy to follow the link, here is an excerpt: [ In the 1960s, government interest in the oil industry was limited to the collection of taxes, royalties and lease rental]

Also see this: http://www.beg.utexas.edu/energyecon/new-era/case_studies/Nigerian_National_Petroleum_Company.pdf

Now I challenge you and your kind to provide one shred of evidence supporting those claims you love to make.

Taqiyya lying almajiri

Exploration for crude petroleum oil in Nigeria first began in 1908. However, serious and sustained efforts did not happen until Shell Darcy Petroleum Company commenced operations in 1935. It took this company more than 20 years to discover petroleum crude oil in commercial quantities in Oloibiri in 1956.

Before 1965, all the international petroleum marketing companies in Nigeria imported their stocks independently from their own refineries located abroad. As the local demand grew for these products, and following the local availability of crude oil by pipeline, establishment of a refinery in Nigeria became commercially viable..  Two oil marketing companies in Nigeria , Shell and British Petroleum, BP, formed a 50/50 joint venture refining company in Nigeria , the Nigerian Petroleum Refining (NPRC) in 1960.

The NPRC built a 38,000b/d petroleum refinery at Alesa-Eleme, near Port Harcourt to refine local crude oil into five petroleum fuel products. Construction of the refinery commenced in 1963 and production started two years later, in 1965.

Crude oil processed in the NPRC refinery was a portion of the production destined for export through Shell-BP’s Bonny Island export terminal. By a special contract agreement among all the five major products marketing companies, they procured crude oil from Shell-BP..  The crude oil was transported by pipeline to the NPRC Refinery for processing based on the quantity processed, at an agreed unit price per ton of crude oil.

The major marketers also, at their own cost, arranged the timely evacuation of the products from the refinery, mostly by the sea to Lagos and the remaining by road tankers..  The refinery was de-bottlenecked in 1973, in order to increase its crude oil processing capacity from 38,000b/d to 60,000b/d. The domestic demand for petroleum products which steadily increased was satisfied by the NPRC refinery for about 8 to 10 years.

In 1970, the Federal Government acting as a member of OPEC compulsorily acquired and paid for an equity share of 60 percent in all private international companies working in the Upstream and Downstream sectors of the Petroleum Industry in the country.[/s]

You can't have good Governance in Nigeria. That's like looking for water in the middle of the Sahara desert. Every president of Nigeria has failed same as Buhari will fail because the system of government we are running is bad. The unitary is a terrible thing. Only a dreamer will think that Buhari can police 36 state Governors who enjoy immunity and 774 Local Gov chairmen who are near untouchable. It's not even Buharis job to provide water and electricity. The only thing that can work in Nigeria is a regional form of government or a confederation.The six geopolitical zones should be the federating units. We don't need States or governors in Nigeria,what we need are the Local governments,they are closest to the common man and they are the ones that should be building roads and providing water in their host communities. we should have a ceremonial president who can be head of parliament and commander of the armed forces and a prime minister who is head of government ment. The regions should keep at least 50% of whatever accrues in that region and the other goes to the federal government. Each region will have its own premier and constitution. This is the only way to run Nigeria fairly and equitably. The regions should develop at their own pace instead if everyone waiting for Niger Delta oil money which will be stolen by politicians anyway. But the North will never agree to a regional government because of oil. Nigeria is a disaster and the sooner we disintegrate and go our different ways, the better for everyone

Goke7:


Let's not be too negative my brother, Good governance can happen in Nigeria if only our state Governors can be more hardworking rather than throwng parties all around. Good governance actually starts from me and you by voting in those we know are ready to work for the people instead of their godfathers, we Nigerians are the problem, we prefer politicians who will share and throw money on us before we even cast our votes, that is where bad governance starts from, we prefer politicians who will throw money on us to politicians who will create enabling environment for businesses and commerce to thrive. We are the problem preferring stomach infrastructure to what will benefit our generations unborn, one of the incubent Governors was almost voted out despite providing free education from primary to univerisity level, thank God he won, I couldn't believe that a senator was voted out despite giving scholarships to students in his constituency, even the students were induced with cash to vote him out cos of hatred and tribalism. That is who we are, we wanted a Govt under whose watch NNPC accounts were in tatters to continue despite the fact that the head of the Govt and the minister in charge were from the Niger delta, one would have expected them to be better custidians of our resources but instead we justify their actions by saying that others before them were corrupt too and so they should continue. This is why Good Governance looks like rocket science in Nigeria, even if we allow every region to control their resources as you suggested, imagine Diezani being the premier of Niger Delta region, do you think they will fare better, she will only continue to do what she knows best and continue to lie to you guys that it is not her fault.

Let's honestly make a demand on our leaders for Good Governance and stop collecting their peanuts and their lies that Nigeria cannot work
