Can the north survive without the Niger-Delta oil? (Page 2)

KHADIJAH Nagode!Antashi Lafia?

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.

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.

Yes I agree with u shamsuddeen, look at Ghana, they live on tourism, Ghana cedes is now 2 cedes to 1 british pound, and nigeria naira is 102 naira to 1 ghana ceds, since the advent of crude oil is problem upon problems in nigeria, when nigeria survives on agriculture it was not like this. \naira had value, there were job opportunity since oil discovery what is great about nigeria's economy. I want d southerners to remember most of the grains, potatoes, beans, rice are from northern parts of nigeria, cow meat is also from north,  tomatoes grown in d south quickly get bad tasteless. even now yams r now coming from d north so tell me the north needs the south and the south needs north to survive. come to think of it Nigeria is a oil produce country and stil imports crude oil.................. so what is d benefit

the truth is always bitter but must be said. i believe so much in the Northerners but they realy dont believe in themselves cos if they themselves are united, their interests would be given much attention. remember they constitute higher number in the senate and general admnistration of the state but still their views which they claim is the best is never uphold. i tink they cant survive without the crude oil cos many of then too are currupt with style. Yar'adua is trying his best but dont u think there are babotoirs in his admin? back bitters n some dons still manipulate him. with all of these we cant get anywhere. dats just the simple truth.

they will sell a lot of groundnut and g/nut oil and they will be rich again. they will also sell rice, salt, cement, paper and sand and make money from it.

Khadijah!
I dont remember blocking U.It may be accidental.Or maybe I added U as a Pal & u refused to confirm me.I usually block such people as a way of canceling my request.I guess Urs must ve been by accident.I'll rectify it now.

You said"look at Ghana, they live on tourism, Ghana cedes is now 2 cedes to 1 british pound, and nigeria naira is 102 naira to 1 ghana ceds, since the advent of crude oil is problem upon problems in nigeria,"

I wonder where U get this from.Now let's leave ur fantasy world & discuss the facts.If 1GBP=over 240 Naira,how come 1Cede that's=102Naira make 2GBP?Stop insulting our intelligence.Even though I hate Maths,I can solve money Maths.lol!

As for u talk about the link between crude oil & Nigeria's problem,I maintain my earlier stance.Crude Oil(in itself)is not the cause of the problem.It is how mismanagement of the money that comes from it that ve caused the crisis.

YAROTEE
U're talking sentiments.U've not attempt any real answer to the question.If U say the North can survive without Niger Delta Oil money,tell me how?

U said"if Naija Delta is left to control their resources as they have been clamouring, i dont
personally see the Naija Delta doing anything with the petrol dollar".
This is the same Northern ARROGANCE that is at the heart of the crisis.What gave U the impression that the North can take care of the Niger Delta more than the Niger Delta people?What u saying is like stealing a child's money with the excuse that he does not know what's right for him.If U think the Niger Delta cant control their resources if given,why are U steal holding it back?Is it out of love for them?This is the highest form of hypocrisy.The Cat eats the Rat.But the Cat does not try to bring up any theory to explain that it eats Rats for the benefit of Rats.So U should stop this hypocrisy.No one is buying it.

As for ur talk about criminality,U are right.There is a high level of criminality in the Niger Delta.In fact,we even call it CRIMICONOMICS this days.That is the use of criminal acts for economic purposes.However,when there is a sincere initiative aimed act developing the region,they will be annihilated.The ordinary people of the region know most of these criminal elements.So when the time has come for development,they will tell them to stop or face the wrath of the people.After all,they've been claiming to be the peoples' advocate.So if the people they claim to be fighting for say stop,they must stop or die.

YARO!I am waiting for U to come up with objective analysis.Not Arewacentric  arguments.

Godsson it seems u r not read thru u just talk, I said 2 cedis = 1 british pound
Saturday, September 6, 2008

1 Ghanaian New Cedi = 0.49457 British Pound

1 British Pound (GBP) = 2.02194 Ghanaian New Cedi (GHS)

This means:
You buy 1 Ghanaian New Cedi :     0.49457 British Pound
You sell 1 Ghanaian New Cedi :     0.47981 British Pound
You buy 1 British Pound :     2.02194 Ghanaian New Cedi
You sell 1 British Pound :     2.08417 Ghanaian New Cedi

u dey full of urself, that is what is killing the economy people that thinks they know everything.

JOHNADE!
Thanks for the compliments.If I aint full of myself,should I be full of U?Stop wasting ur time to tell me what I already know about me.Ha ha ha ha!

As for ur lecture on Ghanaian Cedi,my younger brother is a student of the University of Ghana, Legon.So ve spent that money not just reading about it.

Thanks for the web link though.Maybe,I did not read ur post properly.That's my fault.

As for me knowing everything,U're dead wrong.I dont know anything in Maths.lol!Takia
