God help us

We've been hearing reports like this in the past 49 years. Anyway, oil is not an infinite resource.

that is when Niger delta will realize themselves. let the northerners keep deceiving them, using their oil money to enrich themselves on the pretext of fighting terrorism. once there is no oil in the south again, Boko Haram will end, the northerners will want secession, claiming it is an abomination to join the Christians with the Muslims. they will now go back to their agriculture and will develop rapidly. while most places in the south will be polluted as a result of oil activities. and the economy in the south will even be worst.

israelmao:


It's true that there are many other natural resources.Even the amalgamation of Nigeria became before oil discovery in 1956 but how many of our natural resources are being tapped like crude oil and how many give us revenue like it?The reason why the force marriage remains is crude oil and the reason only core north feel uneasy to join the bandwagon of those crying for restructuring is predicated on black gold.

I beg to differ. Nigeria's ethnic diversity and even configuration is similar to other West African countries, like Benin Republic, Togo and Ghana, and non of them have crude oil. Non of them have disintegrated.

I feel main reason some people are shouting force marriage, disintegration is that they feel, it is easier to get their hands on the crude, once there are less competition jostling for it. Imagine the whole of the crude being shared by the whole Nigeria now being shared by one forth. It will be free easy money. If crude was not discovered, I sure most Nigerian tribes would have formed closer bond, as production and trade requires good relationship with your neighbours. Trade always promote integration.

You always conflate clamour for restructuring with disintegration. Restructuring does not mean disintegration. Restructuring mean different things to different people. I want a restructuring that will first reduce the number of states to reasonable levels, then restricts the powers and responsibilities of the central government to defence, monetary policy and foreign affairs. I want a complete restructuring of our justice system and revenue sharing system.

Others want a structured Nigeria with more states.

The blessings of the Lord don't run dry

You are speaking very ignorant if u think this is how northerners think.

If you are an ipob I won't be surprised.

Northeners have more to benefit from Nigeria with or without oil, d earlier u get that into your skull the earlier u know that its not oil that's holding us together

Bunch of liars

If there can be true federalism d call for more states would die. Most people wanting more state are doing that on the pretext that they would get more money from the centre for there new states

bayelsaowei:
And the Niger delta never could fight for resource control to develop human capital and infrastructures rather than sharing our oil resources with the whole useless country...

I pray I have left this country by that time..

LoL... U want to leave gold in your backyard because its not reaching you and run to another country and start toiling. Instead of fighting for your rights.

Good news

To God br the glory. Before then i go don relocate to better country with my dominique

sofiscatedmoron:

my brother, I will not insult you. but the truth is that crude oil is what is holding the northern part of Nigeria with the southern part of Nigeria.

Don’t worry in 49 years time, Innoson will be designing and selling cars back to their masters in China and so Nigeria will be doing just fine

SoNature:


Calm down until oil runs dry and docile Nigerians refuse to have sense.

That's when you will see the real suffering because Nigerians will be taxed heavily and the tax revenue will be looted as all.

I have never seen a country as useless as Nigeria

Nigeria is a very unproductive country without vthe oil revenue they will not even see anything to tax

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn niggarrr

Too bad

Lollll. U dey gbadun your comments

At least we can rest and go our separate ways when it finally get dried.

The oil has brought more agony than good. Make e dry make we rest

49 years? That is too long na. It should happen like this so we can have sense quick.

something wey no go reach 20yrs

All these nations you cited as examples,how many ethnic groups they have and how much are their populations?Are they as diverse as Nigeria?For instance,Ghana has crude oil and has five(5)ethnic groups which include Akan,Ashanti,Ewe and others compare with Nigeria which has over 250 ethnic groups.My point is not about break-up of Nigerian nation but my line of thought is restructuring in terms of resources and devolution of power to her federating units.I am not an advocate of disintegration of Nigeria but a believer in the use of our diversity to great advantage.

EdiskyHarry:

I don't want insult but I want u to tell me how?

D ports are in the south, do u think d north would want to become a landlocked nation?

That apart the north knows it has all to gain if Nigeria remains one cause they call the shots and almost nothing to benefit from its break up

Validated:
It is too long. Can we drill everything in next 10 years and chop the money so that everybody go rest. All these quest for power is just to go and loot or drink the oil. The earlier fossil fuel as an economic resource becomes obsolete the better.

By the way, DPR is not forward looking ... rest of the world are looking to increase capacity on green energy, they are still thinking of another five decades to continue to depend on wasting and environmentally degrading resource.

What did you call them? DPR...
Department of Petroleum Resources. Their mandate is Petroleum. Emphasis on green energy should be the president's concern but does he know any better? The North is such a wasteland. They hold the key to renewable energy in Nigeria, given their vast agricultural potential but they're too neck-deep into the destructive politics of ethnicity, religion and lazy oil money to devise a plan to realise this potential.

wirinet:

It's possible. Break the constituents of water into its constituents - hydrogen and oxygen, and burn then in an internal combustion engines. The problem for now is your expend more energy breaking up the water than you can get from it.

I said its impossible for car to run on water ...
When u break them down its no more water

Two as u said breaking them down makes no economics sense

I wish it dries up today so that parasitic scums can go their way!

The shithole is a hopeless entity!
#enough of nonsense!

Day169:
This 'arrangee' marriage (Nigeria) was conceived by the couple's parents (colonialists), after an unwanted pregnancy (amalgamation) but it later waxed with love (oil).
But when the love is finally gone, what becomes of the marriage? The parties involved (major tribes) will eventually go their seperate ways!
PS.. but a divorce (disintegration) is hardly amicable. God help us!

A Divorce is looking more and more inevitable in the face of so many issues...

We can't keep crawling economically due to certain regions' refusal to grow.

to hell with the gold...how much can hold sustain a whole nation of about 300 million people...nigeria is doomed...if we couldn't develop nigeria with oil we cant with gold..

Niger delta are just stupid for not fighting for resource control...our leaders failed us..
