isthatso: What baffles me the most is for someone to suppress facts, the truth and be bias for obvious reasons. Illegal mining & bunkering has been militating against the development of Nigeria for long. It is an economic sabotage perpetrated by Nigerians from different regions without exception (its in our character). But for someone to rewrite history or what is collective and attribute it to a particular region is evil, wicked and malicious to say the least. The locals from all communities, tend to illegally mine resources within their domain without exception in connivance with security personnel, politicians, businessmen. Be it gold in Zamfara, Osun, Rocks all over the country, nickel in Southern Kaduna, Other mineral deposits in Kogi, Kwara, Nasarrawa, Plateau, Cross river, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, Kaduna, Crude oil in Akwa ibom, Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, Anambra, Imo amongst others. Illegal mining in Niger, Plateau, Zamfara, Enugu, Imo, cross rivers state amongst others. https://allafrica.com/stories/201903010166.html https://www.thecable.ng/how-illegal-mining-is-sabotaging-the-nigerian-economy/amp https://www.cfr.org/blog/primer-nigerias-oil-bunkering https://www.legit.ng/amp/1215316-where-gold-nigeria.html https://punchng.com/govs-behind-illegal-mining-of-gold-zinc-others-minister-senate-panel/?amp=1 https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2019/09/01/taming-the-monster-of-oil-bunkering-and-gas-pipeline-vandalism/amp/ https://www.dpr.gov.ng/unleashing-tech-to-curb-illegal-oil-bunkering-on-nigerian-waters/ https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2020/05/09/powerful-individuals-behind-illegal-mining-in-nigeria-says-mines-minister/amp/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Lj6c9vmfIY https://punchng.com/waging-war-against-illegal-oil-bunkering/?amp=1 https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/391246-17-chinese-men-arrested-for-illegal-mining-in-nigeria.html https://www.blueprint.ng/the-untold-story-of-gold-mining-in-zamfara-state/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tuP64u5X1k From the tone of the caster, she was too emotional and sentimental.

If she or other southerns don't know gold was discovered since 1913, 1930s and illegal mining started around 2008 to 2010 just as in Osun, whose fault is it?

If one makes emphasis on Zamfara because of the senseless killings, its understandable but not as if its the only state illegal mining occurs or don't remit to FG the proceeds of the solid mineral deposits in its domain. Not that one is condoning an illegal act as it belongs to all Nigerians based on the Unification decree promulgated by General Aguiyi Ironsi of blessed memory, but he who must come to equity, must come with clean hands to say the least.

And for your information I have the right to criticise any appointed government that fails to know his or her duties as a leader. That's the true meaning of a Nigerian. |

Re: Reps Approve Buhari’s $22.7 Billion Loan Request. South East Reps Kick by ofonimi: 11:30am On Jun 03, 2020 |
Responsible Nigerians should not forget how much billions of naira the executive spent to install the national assembly leaders, that is the senate president and the speaker house of representative. It was an investment that will benefit the executive. So any request from the executive to the senate or house of rep will always have free passage no matter how irrelevant that request should be it must be granted. In the history of this contraption call Nigeria, I have never witnessed any government that obtained loans like this administration. It is rather unfortunate that a country that is so blessed by God should find itself in the hand of this type of selfish rulership. May God deliver his own from the hand of these evil rulers in Jesus name. Amen. |

When I expect South East to kick or protest they will fold their arms and be insulting other tribes, as a South South man I strongly believe southeast are not fairly treated as a citizen of this country. I was expecting them to protest Nationwide when Olisa Mentu was sentence to jail not because he's not guilty of the crime but others who are also accomplice are still moving freely. Dasuki has been released, Fayose is holidaying somewhere, Obanikoro is living inhis mansion, Fani Kayode is moving freely on same crime that Olisa Mentu has-been convicted of. Una fight de always make bele run me. |

You did not answer the question. What did Yorubas do when Gowon broke up the western region? isthatso: |
Re: Reps Approve Buhari’s $22.7 Billion Loan Request. South East Reps Kick by Nobody: 5:15pm On Jun 03, 2020 |
DMerciful: Of what relevance is that? It was a military govt what could we do? We should go to war and let 2 million people die? We did nothing... so what? Did you do anything when they broke up Easter region into Anambra and IMO? Western region wasn’t broken up to spite or control yorubas. It was broken up because Gowon could not break up just the Easter region only. So he broke up the North, wester and Easter regions. Of all the regions the western region was the only one broken into 2. All other regions were broken up into at least 3. Of course the Midwest remained as it had just been careated. |
Re: Reps Approve Buhari’s $22.7 Billion Loan Request. South East Reps Kick by DMerciful(m): 5:25pm On Jun 03, 2020 |
You said the Igbos caused the breakup of the country but the Igbos resisted the breakup by going to war and you guys did nothing. The only reason many people died in the war was because Yoruba did not resisted the breakup. If they had done, there is no way Gowon will fight the East and West at the same time but would have negotiated with the regions. With Yorubas not resisting, it became 2 against 1. A war that has not started at the time and you already saw casualties in millions? Yorubas should have resisted the breakup of the western region, courage is a virtue! isthatso: |
Re: Reps Approve Buhari’s $22.7 Billion Loan Request. South East Reps Kick by Nobody: 5:44pm On Jun 03, 2020 |
DMerciful: Continue to delude yourself with the stories your forefathers gave their children for your failure in the war nobody is going to tell his child he messed up. But the facts are there if you care to read independent accounts. the day you are prepared to acknowledge your shortcomings is the day you start the path of progress.. 1. Ojukwu left Nigeria not because he wanted to keep Nigeria together but because he feared losing control of the oil in today’s SS region. 2. He deliberately let many die because he felt it would help garner international support. This is on record by many international agencies that Ojukwu rejected food aid while he and the Igbo elite fed well. 3. Ex Biafra officers have said that ojukwu planned to invade Ibadan and Lagos. 4. Yoruba never promised to fight a war with ibos. What Awo said was if the ibos succeed in seceding , then we will secede too. You did not success succeed so we did not renege on our promise. You need to read the definition of courage. Gra gra and heading into fights without strategic thinking is not courage but stupidity. What have you gained for your “courage”? You lost your region, you lost control over the oil, you lost financial autonomy, you lost millions of lives, you scared generations of your people, you turned yourselves into second class citizens politically all to say you have courage? 50 years after the war and minority has seen presidency before you....when will you learn? A fool will fight at any provocation, it takes bravery to be patient and wait to strike when the conditions best favor you and even greater courage to realize when a battle is beyond you. Like I said earlier your biggest problem with is also your virtue in business is that everything must first be about you. |
Re: Reps Approve Buhari’s $22.7 Billion Loan Request. South East Reps Kick by DMerciful(m): 5:52pm On Jun 03, 2020 |
You are emotional. You said Igbos cause the breakup of the country. And I asked why didn't Yorubas resisted the breakup if they never wanted it. I never asked for epistles, just answer the question. Forget about Ojukwu, Eastern region, the war, resources in the East(which came after the division). Speak on why Yorubas never wanted the breakup of the Western region yet did nothing. isthatso: |
Re: Reps Approve Buhari’s $22.7 Billion Loan Request. South East Reps Kick by Nobody: 5:57pm On Jun 03, 2020 |
DMerciful: you lack understanding, I said they caused the break up of the country because they let in the military! Without the military the north could never appropriate resources, create states at will and these are the things that derailed us as a country. They struck because you cannot settle disagreements peacefully or patiently. A trait that continues today. If you don’t get your way all hell must break loose. The 1st time the SE has not had influence at the Centre and see the divisions in the country. Other regions have seen decades of non representation at the center and they didn’t bring the country to its knees. The original sin was the Nzeogwu coup, the massacre of northern leaders, the distrust and derailed trajectory of the country that followed and persists till today stemmed from that. Once you understand that you understand why Nigeria is why it is today. Every thing else that happened after, the civil war, resource control, no ibo president, north controlling oil, mothern obsession with political power, going to Abuja for federal allocation, quota system etc stems from that. EVERYTHING!!!! |
Re: Reps Approve Buhari’s $22.7 Billion Loan Request. South East Reps Kick by DMerciful(m): 6:04pm On Jun 03, 2020 |
Are the military not humans? You think if all the westerners in the Army abandoned the army like the Easterners did, Gowon would be bold enough to follow through on states creation? Truth is the Yorubas wanted an alliance with the North at all cost and were willing to do anything! You guys ganged up with the North to ruin the country just to spite the Igbos. Even today you're resisting restructuring because you are afraid the Igbos will be more favored in a restructured Nigeria but pretending to be prorestructuring isthatso: |
Re: Reps Approve Buhari’s $22.7 Billion Loan Request. South East Reps Kick by Nobody: 6:07pm On Jun 03, 2020 |
DMerciful: You seem to think your fight was our fight. You decide to fight for something that only concerns you why should we join you? Abeg come and mad man o! Are we the ones that killed Sardinia and Balewa, that the north are retaliating against? Abel I am done Btw ibos have the most to lose in Nigeria breaks up today. All your businesses need the Nigerian market and you don’t have enough land to feed yourselves. |
Re: Reps Approve Buhari’s $22.7 Billion Loan Request. South East Reps Kick by DMerciful(m): 6:20pm On Jun 03, 2020 |
Igbos have the most to loose yet are at the forefront? So why are you afraid of breakup if you have less to loose? You dont seem to understand simple questions. You said you never wanted the breakup of Western region but when I asked what did you do when it was broken up, you keep mentioning Igbo this Igbo that. You said the fight was not your fight but your region was broken up but you did nothing then turned around to claim we caused your region to get broken up as a collateral damage. You never cared about being broken up as far as the East is broken up, you were fine. isthatso: |
Re: Reps Approve Buhari’s $22.7 Billion Loan Request. South East Reps Kick by Nobody: 6:24pm On Jun 03, 2020 |
DMerciful: You need to start to learn to separate what you want to think I said with what I actually said. Please quote me and show where I said we are afraid of breakup? Sw will be the best off if Nigeria breaks up today...fact!!! Forefront of what? As usual you act based on emotions, chest beating, ego and not not sense and strategy. Same reason you are worse off today than in 1966/ q1967 for all your “bravery” You want Biafra, you want Biafra, none of you have thought what will happen to your assets in Nigeria, your markets, how will you feed, where is the land? Same way as you declare war and then think how to fight and kill 2 million. You like to brag you own 70% of Lagos and Abuja, you think you will have your own country and the reminants of Nigeria will allow you to keep your assets? I swear you people sometimes...... |
Re: Reps Approve Buhari’s $22.7 Billion Loan Request. South East Reps Kick by DMerciful(m): 6:29pm On Jun 03, 2020 |
In the grand scheme of things what you said doesn't really matter. Everybody knows that you guys are against Biafra or secession. I am not talking of few persons but the majority of Westerners isthatso: |
Re: Reps Approve Buhari’s $22.7 Billion Loan Request. South East Reps Kick by Nobody: 6:31pm On Jun 03, 2020 |
DMerciful: The only people against secession are the Northerners. We unlike you are smart enough to know we are checkmated...thanks to you and we don’t fight battles and endanger people lives for a battle we can’t win. |
Re: Reps Approve Buhari’s $22.7 Billion Loan Request. South East Reps Kick by DMerciful(m): 6:47pm On Jun 03, 2020 |
The only reason North has power to fight is because they are sure of your support. If the North are that powerful, they could have defeated bokoharam, bandits. If the West declare secession today, the North will be forced to negotiate with you because they know the Easterners are already on standby to go. When Yugoslavia and Soviet union broke up, not a single shot was fired because majority left at the same time. If the West leaves, the East leaves, the Lower Niger leaves, middle belt leaves same time, who will the core North fight? Courage is a virtue! isthatso: |
Re: Reps Approve Buhari’s $22.7 Billion Loan Request. South East Reps Kick by Nobody: 6:54pm On Jun 03, 2020 |

TheManhattan:Categorically, tell us the things the current government has done with reference to the things they promised to do for Nigerians when they come into power. Mind you, billions of dollars have been borrowed since inception of this government to date. Your detailed list of the things the government has done should go in line with the amount they have borrowed. I guess from the list, you can have a basis to support the government in this discussion. |
