Ephemmm: First of all, I'm Delta Igbo and I am going with SE when Biafra comes. The stupidity of you North is the fact you think Igboland starts and end in SE. Newsflash: IT DOES NOT. There's multiple of us in SS that are PROUDLY IGBO so you ppl pathetic divide and rule tactics is shameful I swear. In case you are not aware, the largest oil producing area in River state is not ijaw, ogoni or even ikwerre, the largest is OYINBO which is an IGBO territory carved to River state. In addition, In Anioma... several communities of our land has oil as well. Then you have Abia, Imo and Anambra to the mix...the Bleep do we need others for when Igbo territory alone is more than enough for us. In fact, the most inland oil production of oil is from SE and there are graphs as well as maps from NPDC proving so. Heck it was in even posted on here. While I'm at it, Nigeria imports majority of the food so idk all this crap about north agriculture feeds the country. Are you kidding me? If the country already imports it's food, then very likely if the north is gone, the rest would continue to importing from neighboring African countries if there own production is not enough. The south has farm production as well. The only nprth has more argiculture activity than south is because most southern would rather be anything else than a farmer. I mean hell, last I checked, majority of the rice we eat in Asaba comes from Abakaliki, not North. Abeg waka. As for Bruce statement about a nation can't survive without food. Last I checked USA imports MAJORITY of it's food from Mexico while Mexico has one of the largest agriculture output in the world. Between the two countries, which is more progressive? Mexico or USA? Mschewwwwwwww. Rubbish post from that senator 7 Likes 1 Share |

No wonder Ireland is repatriating 5 containers of bags of weevils you called beans back to your so called north.

atoleybaba: Listen Oga, you can not outpreach the 'one nigeria' preaching i have done for the past 15 years before the 2015 election. I'm a public speaker and a youth leader in a popular volunteer organization. We've pretended for too long and it's time to face the truth, WE ARE SIMPLY NOT COMPATIBLE. I'm an Igbo, you are Yoruba, Musa is Hausa. The hausa man believe i'm a 'kaffir' whose house should be burnt and relatives killed, now what do i do? Keep preaching to him as he cuts off my neck. Do you know that hausaland which is in nigeria is one of the most dangerous place IN THE WORLD for a christian like me to live? and i should still keep preaching peace to him as he slaughters me in a country that is supposed to be mine too? Are you daft? Enough of the deceit, let's face the truth, the country in chaotic will different interest pulling it from every angle. If something good is proposed for the Igbo, the Yorubas find a way to kill their conscience and destroy it, If a project is to be sited in the SS, hausas go to the National Assembly and shoot it down. Chaos evereywhere! The Pope loves everybody even the muslims but that doesn't mean the Vatican and Saudi have the same political future. Enough of the deceit, farm on your own land and let me farm on mine. WE DO NOT HAVE ONE DESTINY WITH THE HAUSAS AND YORUBAS. Our placentas are not tied together. Let us peacefully undo the lugardian evil like normal humans with brains and save humanity from a possible humanitarian crisis. There is no law written in Gold that i must share the country with Yorubas and Hausas. Let's call it quit and save precious lives. Unity is not by force! 2 Likes |

A lot of the food consumed, about 80%, comes from the north. I remember a few years back when the northerners went in strike cos some trucks bringing foodstuffs were seized at the Lagos IB tollgate. Food was scarce. No tomatoes, pepper etc. It wasn't funny. Bottomline, all regions are important cos we all contribute in our various ways. No need for ethnic sentiments. 1 Like |

amuokuko:[size=13pt]This is an old common sense position by Bruce. He just put it in his book. The man deserves the respect of the public politically because he has his position (which is not necessarily partisan) The not above the squabbles of partisanship hate and deride him when his position seems not to favour them, and praise him when it supports them. The truth is his positions come from a clear mind and will hurt both parts of the divide where they are not in tandem as well as give them the thumbs up where he believes in the actions or positions taken. Even as his opinions cause a ripple effect, he is not so much bothered about those that disagree with him as he is about getting his ideas and positions out (and that those ideas are in the public domain, being dissected by people's minds).[/size] sinkhole |

kingzizzy: edoyad: would you have supported Dangote when he said Nigeria needs to devalue her money but never reduce the amount paid on subsidising petroleum products just because he employs millions of people? A businessman's first allegiance is to profit before his country except forced by strict laws to take the latter as first (eg China, Singapore, "Malaysia" etc.) EasternActivist: Bruce needs northern support for 2019 (given their census inflated population majority) and we either play along with him hoping he'd redirect things once he gets to Aso rock or call him out on this obvious bootlicking he's embarked upon, knowing they normally do not support an outsider unless there's a way they're profiting from it. Adagba01: People who go on a tour don't go to one country/location return and then take off for the next stop, they move from one location to another before retiring to their home country. Except for health reasons, let him lump all his journeys into a single continuous loop (or get competent ambassadors to do the job). He should thank his stars that the country has outgrown the era of coups. kingzizzy: The guy is joking, you need to see how much fertilizer FG supplies them yearly at extremely subsidised prices and we all know where the most of the subsidy funds come from, yet even the fishes in the Niger Delta are laden with poison and they can't drink the water from their wells. Osakah24: the profiteering sides of this arrangement outnumber the victims, so it will probably remain as long as possible. Majority of taxpayers are down south too, yet the money must reach Aso rock. Adagba01: And pray tell, what do we produce that will beat the ones these countries import qualitatively and economically? While one tries his best to be as de-tribalised as possible, you cannot but marvel at the shackles of this fiefdom the country has been turned into. But Just like the churches held sway at a time in europe, until a generation arose who could'nt stomach their excesses anymore and revolted. This too has it's expiry date and believe it or not, the terms for this country's continued existence will someday be re-negotiated. Aside from politics however, every tribe of this country has its fair share of noble men as well as crooks, and one should weigh/judge each man he/she meets from his character/actions which is more empirical and not a certain stereotype unless such erroneous train of thought is seen in the individual concerned |

ziccoit: From my experience, having traversed the six geographical zones of Nigeria, to be honest with you. The most backward geopolitical zones are South South and south east. You may kill me o but lets call a spade a spade. For instance, car used in northern Nigeria is as good as imported from overseas. They have good roads in the north. They may do a road x4 the original cost but the road must be done. A chieftain in bayelsa was paid 90% the cost of a project for his people, he never went back for the 10% and did not do the project. Ameachi was busy building hospitals everywhere in rivers state, one stupid idiotic fellow went and bulldoze the structures on the site that the land belongs to him. A company was paid to build a state of the earth hospital somewhere in portharcourt, some youths and chiefs went to stop the project that the contractor must pay them before they build the hospital. The project was relocated to a place in the North. A family, in the southwest, sold large hectares of land to a company that want to build a factory. Before the company came back the family had cleared the large parcel of land. The company that was coming to pay them money against disruption was surprised when the family said they did that so that the company can quickly start building the factory. In the south south they will collect bush entry and come everytime to collect money. Infact how many I go talk. The southern Nigerians need to read ben bruce book. 1 Like |
