Pat Utomi is a slightly more educated version of Peter Obi. A young man who fronted for some anonymous despots to start owning banks and all.
BiafraNigeria as presently constituted only favours some crooked wishy-washy kinda fellas. When they are selected into power they almost invariably maintain the statusquoante. Does Obi's action in Onicha not betray a man who believes that the BiafraNigerian Army/police is a force for good? They had been protecting him before now just like Chris Ubah and Emeka Offor and a few other paper weights.
If Utomi wants to give something back to BiafraNigeria he should go and build schools in his village and quit this silly egbe-omo theatrics. It doesn't lead people very far.

That was masterfully done brother, As much as you and I don't agree with Nigeria and Biafra. That not withstanding I think you have exposed the warped thinking of Kesu. Kesu came here foaming in the mouth that he is looking for a debate about Nigeria, however whenever he is presented with facts he waffles and resort to the same old argument that have distroyed Nigeria. Thank you for explaining to osu the different between diversity and amalgamation.

Ok, Mr. Ednut, for a split second, I thought that in this wasteland of Biafran boastmongers, there is one objective soul ready to engage in objective discuss. But here you are, first refering me to a nonentity who assume the name of an imaginary country, who is in a class by himself, or share honors with the other inmate in my ignoreville. For your information sir, I don't bother with that person, he has nothing to say that interests me. He is crude and ignorant. Just look at his childish congatulatory remarks to you even before he reads my response!
Second, haba Mr. Ednut, what has the North done to you that blinds you to their reality? Kano, and most of the Northern states, is bigger than Lagos. 20, 131 Km compare to 3, 345 km that is Lagos. Furthermore, according to 2005 figures provided by Federal Ministry of Finance, Kano has 44 Local Governments areas not 250 and lagos has 20. Beyond that, sir, you are not being objective when you say Kano's share of the national cake is more than that of Lagos'. According to the same source, Lagos got a total of 3,644,910,421.19 from the Federal govt while kano got 2,280,194,920.95.
Compare these figures to Delta state with 25 local governments with 7b naira; Bayelsa with 8 local governments and over 8b naira. Akwa Ibom, 31 local governments and over 6b naira.
In terms of land mass, Northern states are bigger:Niger state, 76,898, Borno, 70, 898, Tabara,54,473, Kaduna, 46,055, Zamfara, 39, 762. Compare that to say Imo with 5,100 km and Anambra, 4,844. Naturally they deserve more local governments to cover these kms. Whether the landmass is populated like the south is not terribly important for revenue allocation. (assuming we have a reliable census figures, which we don't.)
So, Mr. Ednut, your complaint about the North is misplaced. You have not been objective in your accessment of the distribution of the national resources and no matter how you counch your response and presentation, I still detect the same faulty reasonings fed by jingoistic view of the nation that is so rampant here.

Did not the double, side speaking miscrant promise to ignore me yet betrayed his weakness up there? This complete loaf skull I might add despite all his desperation to look knowledgable, is in the end a complete airhead whose only reason for his engagement is to spread his Igbo hate among his group.

Esu-Aluko Let me take you back to your post a little. What is social and political sophistication you reffered to? From your point of view if dishonesty, mistrust, looting the national treasury, deceit, unrealiablity easy money making, and laziness is what you call social and political sophistication then you yoruba's have big problem, there is need for yoruba's to have their own country without any decent tribe as part of such country. Remenber Late Aminu Kano, who was asked by a foreign journalist some years back, why is it that nigeria has so much problems? Aminu Kano immeadiately responded by asking the journalist where he came from? The journalist mentioned one of the east European countries, and Aminu Kano went further and asked him if they have YORUBAS in their country, the man said no, Aminu then told the journalist, this is why you don't have any problem in your country.ESU, is this social and political sophistication? Your hatered for Igbo's will for ever remain your headache. Igbo's will continue to ride high inspite of the great conspiracy to keep us down.

Chima Njoku: "if dishonesty, mistrust, looting the national treasury, deceit, unrealiablity easy money making, and laziness is what you call social and political sophistication then you yoruba's have big problem"
Describing an Igbo! Don't forget the three senate presidents and former Ministers of Education and Aviation.
As for yoruba creating their own country, you wait, they will get there without losing a drop of blood. They are sophisticated people. They have built an empire. They had built an enduring political structure and what is more, they are located in one of the best land in Nigeria with access to all and as far as human resources, come on, you just can't disregard the yoruba in education,commerce, economy, socialization and civilization. You better apply for yoruba citizenship before it is too late. I intend to do the same. For now, I am a NIGERIAN.
Aminu Kano was a nationalist and he worked with all Nigerians on equal basis. You ought not to disrespect his life with your invented quotation. Leave it to a Biafran to be dubious, he is born with it.

Kesu Aminu Kano was a great son of the land. He is one of the highly respected nigeria, because he stood for fairplay and equality in nigeria, Unlike those who fanned the amber of hatered and tribalism until they died. If your parents can educate you, they will tell you who Aminu Kano associated with when he was alife. This is why some of us can qoute him correctly, above all he was a great son because of those he associated with, then Igbo leaders.

That Osu guy not only lack the knowledge of Nigeria History, he also lack the knowledge of who the past great leaders were. Amino Kano was great because he spent his political life working for progressive society. Like pointed out unlikce some leader who spend their career spreading hate.

Chima Njoku you are really funny, I tell you. Please provide me the source of your quote if you can. If not hold your peace. I don't want to prejudge you but I am certain you can't. I am certain you would invite me to trust your memory. Trust the memory of a man who still believes Biafra is in existence? No sir.
