lol.....when someone is aggrieved concerning an issue the best thing to do is to speak out even though you may step on toes
The grievance should be directed at the right topic. As diverse as you think Nigerians are,there is a common and unique attribute that is exhibited in every ethnic tribe - GREED! This attribute is what brings us together.
Whether Biafra or Oduduwa or Arewa, certain elements won't hesitate to trade your ideals for personal interests.

Who else thinks this Igbo-Yoruba bashing is getting boring? I don't even bother clicking such topics anymore.Now I understand why Seun kept ignoring.It will die a natural death.
I see successful Igbos and Yorubas here in Lagos going about their businesses without hassles.Never have I heard any of them speak about Biafra or Oduduwa republic. Don Jazzy,P square,flavour,Phyno etc are all flexing here in gidi.Dbanj is dating Adama Indimi,the billionaire daughter.
The war is not between Igbos and Yorubas.It's between the haves and have-nots. I suspect the noisemakers here on NL are young,broke and jobless.
Aspire to become great and productive.
Shalom

Well I don't pity these banks,I don't even pity the debtors. When an ordinary citizen will go to the bank for business loan of only 1million naira. They way these banks will rubbish you,ask for unspeakable colateral and wven deny you the loan,you will wonder why. The will request for several documents and all sort for a loan of even 500k .yet they have millions and billions to throw away.
Guess it is their greed and selfishness that drove them to this.Afterall the interest in the loan will be huge. After publishing these names........what's next?
When the bank refuse to serve the common man,I don't feel sorry for these cronic debtors.

Your opinions on PMB's trips hold water only if:
1. You have an understanding of how Foreign relations work
2. You took time to read this article and previous ones
3. You pay tax to govt or contribute your quota to nation building.
Else,bother yourself with who Davido is bleeping or who Tonto deekay is kissing.

I will take this agitation seriously the day Dbanj,Psquare,Flavour,Naeto C etc. start shouting Biafra.
Cosmas Maduka's (COSCHARIS) son married a beautiful Yoruba girl a week ago. Ernest Azudialu (Nestoil) is erecting a mighty edifice on Akin Adeshola,VI.
This Biafra agitation is being promoted by broke Igbos in my opinion.The irrelevant ones who are not given any recognition in their confines.They are the ones who add no value to society.
By the way,hope Nnamdi Kanu knows his babe,Ruth (Geology Graduate UI 2008 set) was a runs babe back then in IB.

This was an article I came across last year describing the relationship between the Igbos and Yorubas. I must it,the writer was spot on with his analysis.
*The article long small sha.Pls bear with me
The Tom And Jerry Relationship Between The Igbos And Yorubas BY AZUKA ONWUKA
It is difficult to say if Igbo and Yoruba are friends or enemies or merely tolerating each other. On the surface, they seem to be friends, because you rarely hear of any clashes or killings between the two in over 100 years. People from the two ethnic groups work together, live together, laugh together, worship together, and play together. Everything seems all right. Nobody wants to be seen as publicly making any comment seen as tribalistic or intolerant.
But if you look deeper, there seems to be something you cannot truly place a finger on. It’s like a volcano waiting for the least provocation to
erupt. It only needs an excerpt from Chinua Achebe’s There Was a Country to be made public, or for Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos to
“deport” some Igbo to Onitsha for hell to be let loose. Commentators immediately line up behind their ethnic groups, releasing venom against the
other side. Luckily, such altercations usually end in words and not in violent acts.
But on Nigerian online sites like the punchng.com and others, where commentators can use anonymous names, such fights are a daily affair,
and they always get embarrassingly nasty. At such times, combatants throw caution to the wind and rake up gut-wrenching jibes dripping of hate and bordering on insanity. You wonder if the purveyors of such vitriol would feel at ease afterwards interacting with someone from the ethnic group they have maligned so viciously. Some see it as fun, but many don’t. They see it as a war that must be won at all costs.
Regrettably, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe and Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, whose direct and indirect action and
inaction sowed the seed of hate and distrust between the Igbo and the Yoruba, have died without uprooting that dangerous plant or even
denying it water and nutrients. Therefore, till this day, the Igbo and Yoruba still enjoy shooting at each other with accusations of betrayal,
expansionism, hate, ingratitude, greed, as well as trying to prove that each ethnic group is superior to the other.
And it seems the contest for superiority is at the root of that frosty relationship. The Igbo and Yoruba are unarguably the most competitive in
Nigeria. They are the ethnic groups that easily and forcefully ask for the removal of quota system in all national life. They believe that if things are done on merit, they will excel. The Igbo think that the Yoruba are the major competitors they have in Nigeria, while the Yoruba think that the Igbo are the key competitors they have in Nigeria. This shows in almost all spheres of life. The Yoruba had a head-start in western education
because the British colonialists and missionaries arrived on their land first. The Igbo, who resisted and rejected the British initially, eventually
accepted them and thereby began a sprint to catch up with the Yoruba. And they succeeded.
Whatever the Igbo achieve, the Yoruba have an answer to it, and whatever the Yoruba achieve the Igbo have a response. So, if you have a Wole Soyinka from the South-West winning the first Nobel Prize for Literature in Africa, you have a Chinua Achebe from the South-East holding the record of the most popular and most-selling literary writer in Africa. If you have a Rangers International Football Club of Enugu shaking the
Nigerian football scene in the 1970s and early 80s, you have the Shooting Stars Football Club of Ibadan shining brightly at the same period. If
Rashidi Yekini is noted for scoring Nigeria’s first World Cup goal and being Nigeria’s all-time highest goal scorer, then Nwankwo Kanu boasts of
being Nigeria’s most decorated footballer, while Austin Jay-Jay Okocha flaunts his status as Nigeria’s most glamorous and mesmerising
footballer. If Genevieve Nnaji boasts of being named by Oprah Winfrey in 2009 among the most popular people in the world, Omotola Jalade-
Ekeinde will show off her name in TIME magazine’s most influential people of 2013. If P-Square and Flavour think they rock the music scene, D’Banj and Davido smash the charts.
So, in all areas of life, the Igbo and the Yoruba are competing, and in the process boosting the nation’s economy and bringing glory to the nation.
Yet, some inferiority-complex-afflicted people who feel threatened within each of the ethnic groups look for every excuse to spread hate among the two peoples. My close study of the Igbo and the Yoruba makes me see them as the Germans and the French of Nigeria respectively. Even the Igbo language is like the German language in many respects. In German and Igbo, there are no silent words. Excluding a few words in Germans which are sounded differently from the way the English sound theirs (like “j” which is pronounced like “y,” “w” which is pronounced as “v,” etc), whatever you say in both languages is what you write. For example, the “g” is always pronounced /g/ in Igbo and German and
never as “j.” “Danke” and “obante” are pronounced as written.
But in French and Yoruba, what you say may be different from how you write it. Some letters are either silent or semi-silent. For example, the
Yoruba and the French would pronounce “san” as if it were “saw,” or “son,” but the Igbo and Germans would pronounce it /san/: exactly the
way it is spelt. Also, the “h” is usually silent or glossed over in French and Yoruba: Hospital or Kehinde. The Igbo and the German are bullish and
technology-minded. They have fought and lost wars but staged successful comebacks in a short time. Conversely, the Yoruba and the French are subtle and supercilious, with good istrative skills, regaling in their years of history and culture. A country that has such two success-driven ethnic groups should be at a great advantage. The Yoruba have been great hosts to the Igbo; and the Igbo have reciprocated by contributing immensely to the building of Yoruba land, especially Lagos State, including buying swamps at a high price and turning such places to residential or commercial estates. The sleepiness of Lagos during the Christmas-New Year period, when the Igbo usually travel home en masse, bears testimony to their contribution to making Lagos lively.
Just like the French always wish they could cut the Germans to size, so do the Yoruba to the Igbo, but it will never work. And just as the Germans always try to flaunt their success at the French, so do the Igbo do to the Yoruba, but it is completely pointless. The Yoruba can never be like the Igbo, and the Igbo can never be like the Yoruba. There is nothing the Yoruba can do to suppress the Igbo neither is there anything the Igbo can do to suppress the Yoruba. Both of them can actually succeed without the other, but working closely together will be very beneficial to each of them as well as the nation. The younger generations are forging greater ties, despite the baggage of enmity the older
generations handed over to them. Working together, attending church together and living together seem to have increased the rate of marriage between the two people. Most Sundays when I look at the church bulletin, I see increasing higher number of marriages between Yoruba and Igbo people. These days, it is common to see women whose names are Temilade Amadi or Ngozi Adesanya because of marriage. The ethnic barriers are being broken, even though ethnic jingoists continue to spread hate. Such hate speech and thoughts need to be stopped, for ethnic bloodshed or xenophobia does not burst out in one day.
Since the older generations are ing away without bringing these two great ethnic groups together, the onus is on those born after the Civil
War to consciously take steps to bring the two ethnic groups together for their own good and for the good of the nation. It is high time this Tom and Jerry relationship between the two ethnic groups ended, for the good of both and the nation at large.

Is this not the same huge number of delegates APC complained about and campaigned against?
So what have they changed? Nigerians have been sold a dummy.
I don't blame them anyway, I blame the shallow headed Nigerians that voted this scam.
What do you know about delegations or diplomatic visits? Do you even have a valid Visa? Focus on topics within your understanding.

I am still going to restrain myself from bashing an entire tribe because of few non-entities like Ikengawo.I am a proud Yoruba man and unapologetic about it.I have wonderful friends that cut across all tribes in Nigeria.
Ikengawo,what exactly is your aim by running down a fellow black man? A Nigerian achieves a feat and all you could take from that is to run him and an entire tribe down?
Retrace your footsteps and learn to celebrate your own.The black man must be emancipated.Foreigners don't know Yoruba,Hausa or Igbo.They know Nigeria...

7 pages already and no one has picked holes in the title.
First of all,it is not a platform being constructed.Its an FPSO Integration Yard! FPSO which stands for Floating Production Storage Offloading Vessel.
This will be the first of its kind in Africa,and was brought about by the Total Egina project.Samsung Heavy Industries will be constructing the hull and some modules in South Korea which will be towed to Nigeria and integrated. LADOL was appointed as partner to SHI for this purpose.Another reason for Lagos being the choice was because of the depth of water to accomodate the FPSO.ND waters require additional dredging to accomodate FPSOs,which should be the responsibility of govt.
FYI,sayyu dantata is constructing a similar integration yard on Ogogoro Island....also in Lagos  The quay length is going to be 1km,enough to accomodate 3 FPSOs at a time

now tell, before d discovery of oil 50% Derivation was used in Nigeria (cocoa and groundnut comes to mind) why was that changed upon d discovery of oil?
Is there Justice in dat?
Be honest and don't b bias, are d rest of Nigeria being fair to d Niger Delta people with all this?
What LADOL is constructing is a logistics base/FPSO IIntegration yard.It was brought about by the Total Egina FPSO contract won by Samsung Heavt Industries. The location of LADOL makes it a feasible place because of the water draught.
Google is, and will always be your friend.Consult the oracle first before making assumptions.

Personally, if okocha and Kanu can agree to work together with the proper coaching trianing and qualifications, I think it will be better. I agree with him that the problem is beyond coaches but he has shown a lack of patriotism in this last few months, he believes he has proved to the world that he is a good coach, a world class coach and he is no longer hungry to win with the country. So on that note he should go.
As for the players, they should all be disbanded, and the only ones that should be left are those that still have the ion to play for the country not to show off or time but to win, when they lose, they feel ashamed and that's the spirit Okocha and kanu can bring.
Then to the giant of them all, the glass house. They are all a bunch of politicians, they should all leave the glass house for those that are ionate about our football and not the money in it. If the players and coaches are changed and the old men in the glass house are not, the problem will continue. That's my take.
Nigerians...you still think it is about the coach and the crew alone? No one has pointed fingers at the NFF, the biggest rogues! None of you have the faintest idea what goes on at the glass house.
We want to win trophies but refuse to invest in our football, particularly from the grassroots. We don't have infrastructure, we dont have a long term plan, we don't have a competitive league. We want immediate results!
If you like, employ Siasia, Okocha, Kanu and Mourinho, it still won't make a difference!
