I AM NOT FROM THE NORTH.I AM A PROUD AND TRUTHFUL IBO BOY OR MAN.
THE ANSWER IS VERY SIMPLE.THE NORTH WILL VERY MUCH SURVIVE BECAUSE THERE SO MANY COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD TODAY THAT DOES NOT HAVE OIL AND JUST VISIT THIER EMBASSIES IN ABUJA AND YOU WILL SEE MANY NIGERIANS FIGHTING FOR VISA.LETS REMOVE OIL FROM THE NORTH OR FROM THE EAST,LETS APPLY WISDOM AND TRUTH IN OUR GOVERNMENT,YOU `LL SEE THAT WE DON`T EVEN NEED TO TOUCH OUR OIL.
NIGERIAN POLITICIANS HAVE MANSIONS IN ENGLAND,US,EUROPE,DUBAI ETC AND ADD 20 YEARS TO THEIR AGE NOW,THEY WILL ALL DIE.THERE CHILDREN WILL BE ON ALREADY MADE WEALTH.BUT I WILL STILL BE BETTER THAN THEM BECAUSE I AM A PROUD SELF MADE NIGERIA.FROM THE STREETS OF ABA,ONITSHA,LAGOS,EUROPE.AND ETC WITHOUT STAINING MY HAND . | Posted: at 13-12-2008 01:40 AM (15 years ago) | Newbie | |

I cant help but be long.I've to explain these things for all to understand.These are inconvenient TRUTHS that ALL MUST face.Whether we like it or Mutanem Arewa are parasites in the Nigerian project.That's why Northerners reject any form of change.We are operating a faulty Federal System.
People now said,LET US PRACTICE TRUE FEDERALISM.
My AREWA Brothers: say "NO!".
Others:LET US VE A SOVEREIGN NATIONAL CONFERENCE to discussion & revolve the internal
contradictions in the Nigerian State.
G0dsson - You started your first article by giving an impression of putting ''sentiments'' aside but as you hit your keyboard you begin to digress. As you so much agree on alot of issues raised by shamsuddeen who has made very good, intelligent and key points even though you disagree on some which i feel should be attributed to human nature of not beign perfect in analysing any issue. I have taken time to analyse most of your views and u made good points for the fact that you know the north very well but you did not strike me well in your perception on another region not doing without the other.
I strongly believe we could all do without each other provided we find a situation of doin so. All we we need as different entity is the will power and determination to achieve good lively hood for our children and great grand children. Is a matter of going back to the drawing board to tackle situation at hand. Oil or agriculture are key tools among many in generating revenue for a nation but that is really not enough as alot has to be done even where this resources are available to achieve greatness. Meanwhile what is reqlly required in nigeria at this particular time is not about one region depending on the other but getting the right leardership to take us to the promise land, we both need each other in my opinion, lets have the correct leardership that can tap in to all the resources from both regions to uses for the betterment of the nation, lets get this greedy people who does not have any ethnic lineage out of leadership (because all the stealing, curruption the country witnessed are connivance of individuals from all parts. To say the north need niger delta to survive at this particular moment is an understatement, but believe me or not the north has alot to offer the country if the right leadership is secured. Dont forget that the globe is currently tilting to a different direction in terms of energy as the world largest consumers of oil are working day and night to reduce dependence on oil by creating alternative energy sources. Who knwo what will happen in the next 10-20 years, lets stop this dependence on oil revenue and look at all options of surviving as a nation in tune with world realities.
May God help our children because for me and you we may not leave to see Naija become a strong economy going by modern lifespan. Lets face realities and start to fine tune our attitude and strategies and lets look beyond ethnic lines as this is the most myopic of all thinking in this century. Finally i think if i were to moderate this topic i would have make ""CNA NIGERIA SURVIVE WITHOUT OIL - LOOKING AT THE US OBJECTIVE OF ACHIEVING ENERGY INDEPENCE/ALTERNATIVE ENERGY in the coming years.
AREWA:NO!
OTHER:LET US VE ELECTRONIC VOTING SYSTEM
AREWA:NO!
OTHERS:LET US USE SATE LITE TECHNOLOGY TO SOLVE OUR CENSUS PROBLEM ONCE & 4 ALL.
AREWA:NO!
When ll these same rulers who gathered at KD to run their mouth that the North can live without oil say YES?
I guess when the Oil dries up.
Sir you touched as a politically-awared-of-my environment type if not an activist but why dont u have a face? good as your analysis are you kept yourself anonymous..we need good hands at all time when it comes to issues pertaining 9ja....come open even if you are a politician..at least Rufai is under leash ow..lol am just playing...its agood work though.. | Posted: at 13-12-2008 09:58 PM (15 years ago) | Upcoming | |

Nice one Hardonsky.....the reality is majority of the populace in both region doesnt feel the impact of the so called nigerian or nigerdelta oil, they live in abject poverty and does not have amenities like electricity, roads, better houses and food that are suppose to be the diveden of the so called OIL. I believe the elites in both region are those concerned with OIL at the moment. | Posted: at 31-12-2008 11:02 PM (15 years ago) | Newbie | |

You know its pretty much interesting you guys are talking about this particular topic, but i've a very particular interest in the views of "shamsuddeen". I don't think i'm agreeing with you even in the least, not even minutely. And i quote "MY FRIEND, IF YOU THINK NIGERIAN MASSES AS A WHOLE (NOT TALKING ABOUT THE NORTH FOR NOW) ARE SURVIVING ON OIL, THEN THINK AGAIN." That is the fattest lie i've heard in centuries my friend. If you say these oil monies were lavished thats a point but anything else is more like Nigeria doesn't depend on these oil monies. Do you know how much Nigeria makes out of these oil monies per year? You need statistical facts and analysis to begin with before giving comments, postings and drawing arguments my friend. FORTUNE smiled on Nigeria this year as income from oil in the first 10 months (January to October) hit N7.6 trillion, some 210% of the N3.606 trillion projected to accrue from oil for the whole year. Non-oil sources of revenue were also billed to generate N923 billion. Can you see the difference is Sub-Annual Revenues for oil monies? Its not even 12 months yet, compared to the combination from every other sector. Now redo your maths again and tell me i'm wrong about The North perishing with the monies & funds from the Niger-Delta oil production.

It's our oil that proud about. [/b] Recently,the Governor of the 19 States in Northern Nigeria issued a statement via the Niger State Governor Dr. Babangida Alihu,saying they dont need Niger Delta OIL to survive.How true is this statement?Put more succinctly,can the North(as it is now)live without the Petro-dollar from the Niger Delta oil?Let's hget ur objective views on this?

If the North could survive before the discovery of Crude Oil in Nigeria, i don't see reason why the north cannot survive. Though, the truth is that, the elites are to be blamed. They see oil windfall as the cheapest means to enrich them selves. Even the so called South -South, what have they been doing with the Federal Allocation? If other state governors from South -west could make use of their own allocation to develop their states then what happened to the leaders of Niger Deltas? For example. Niger Delta Youths are demanding for ransom from Oil companies, after been paid they use that money for themselves. the say they are fighting for the Niger Deltas. How much money have they spent on developing Niger Deltas from the Millions of Naira they demanded from kidnapping experts? | Posted: at 5-01-2009 11:10 AM (15 years ago) | Newbie | |

North can never survive without the oil in the niger delta,just look at what is happeninig now,the price of oil has gone down drastically and everyone is crying and asking questions on how we are going to survive.
have u ever tried to buy goats or cattle in the west or south? who did you buy theses stuffs from?have you also tried to buy electronics or building materials in the north ?, my uncle is from the east but he is a multi billionaire in kano. personally i would not give up the beaches of lagos for any unrealistic regionalism fool. the convenience of nigeria's unity does not derive basically or solely from oil. oil, coupled with unfortunate leadership fanfare in mega corruption just makes the unity passionately inflamable and highly politicised. without oil we would be laid back and easy going politically as Ghana for instance. | Posted: at 11-01-2009 03:24 PM (15 years ago) | Newbie | |

Please U folks should read ur history and apply common sense.What else is the raison d' etat for political contest in this country.It's all about OIL.Period!Why else are recent Presidents reluctant to appoint Petroleum Ministers?
