It is quite funny to say the least.
I wonder why they’re not mentioning people like this great man.
That would be feeding the troll.
Since the legislation making Yoruba a lingua franca in Lagos and requirement for entry into state owned schools which effectively destroyed and ended the "no man's land" debate, the ipob trolls have resorted to opening unnecessary threads with sinister motives as rightly observed by another poster here. Feeding the OP with the dozens of northern achievers (which he will never acknowledge by the way) will simply perpetuate the nuisance. Perhaps Ambode should consider lifting the new law so that they can return to their pastime. 6 Likes |

Abdulkareem Baba Aminu (Kaduna, 7 July 1977) is a Nigerian journalist, cartoonist, comicbook artist and retailer, painter, writer, poet and culture critic. Baba Aminu is a commentator on culture. He was one of four judges for KORA Music Awards.[1] Born in Kaduna, Nigeria, on the 7 July 1977, Baba Aminu soon began to scribble and doodle as a child, eventually going on to write an op-ed column for Classique Magazine at age 12, a first in his country till today. Later, while in secondary school, he created 2 weekly cartoon strips for the Saturday and Sunday editions of The Democrat, a national daily. The characters, Bala and Kareema, became popular and were used by Peugeot Automobiles Nigeria to endorse their then- new 306 model. Abdulkareem Baba Aminu is a well-known culture critic, with a large following of people who revere his reviews of music, movies, TV shows and books Baba Aminu went to the Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, for a degree in Business Administration, while pursuing a career as a studio painter. He has exhibited in several group shows and one solo. Twelve of his paintings are included in the National Assembly Art Collection in Abuja, Nigeria. During his final year in university, he was employed by Weekly Trust, a major Nigerian newspaper. After a stint as a reporter, he became the Entertainment Editor and eventually the editor of the magazine section of the paper. During that time, he scored many exclusive interviews with both Nigerian and international stars like 2Face Idibia, D'Banj, Bimbo Akintola, Idris Elba, Wesley Snipes and many others. On his approach to work, Baba Aminu told a Nigerian newspaper in an interview: For two years – with the help of the internet and long- distance phone calls - Baba Aminu was also the Special Features Editor of Komikwerks.com, a leading U.S-based publisher of both webcomics and regular books.[2] Baba Aminu was part of a Federal Government Monitoring Team in Togo, during that country’s controversial 2005 elections, where he “faced death many times trying to escape back to Nigeria after the elections turned violent.” The resulting travelogue, called ‘Escape from Togo’ was published May 2005. For his investigative journalism work, Baba Aminu was nominated for ‘Journalist of the Year’ at the 2006 edition of the Future Awards Nigeria. The following year, he was nominated again and he won.[3] Baba Aminu was Acting Editor of the Abuja, Nigeria-based influential Weekly Trust newspaper for over two years, from late 2008 and was made substantive Editor in July 2010, until recently being promoted to Creative Editor overseeing all Media Trust publications. Baba Aminu was a writer on the BBC-produced ‘Wetin Dey,’ the number one TV show in Nigeria while it ran for two seasons. The production saw him team up with notable young Nigerian movie directors like Mak 'Kusare, Kenneth Gyang and Seke Somolu. As a result of a very good professional and personal relationship, 'Kusare was tapped by Y!Magazine to write about Baba Aminu in the publication's annual 'Freedom Issue' in 2010 in which the director likened the writer to "a younger, more hip and Nigerian version of Aaron Sorkin." The magazine also added Baba Aminu to its annual list of '50 Young People Who Will Change Nigeria.' Notable TV appearances by Baba Aminu include a November 2012 episode of Close-Up, a movie industry variety TV show running on M-NET's Africa Magic channel where he was interviewed by host Keppy Ekpenyong Bassey. Baba Aminu's blog, titled Abdulkareem's Shelf-Top (shelf-top..com) runs movie reviews as well as pop culture-related news. He was also the co-owner of Planet Comics, Nigeria’s first comic book store.[4] The store, however, has been closed due to both owners' busy schedules.

A lot of you just throw the word "monopoly" around without properly understanding what it entails.
Every businessman operating in a capitalist economy aspires to gain as much market share as possible so as to maximize returns, in order to do this, he deploys various strategies all derived from his business environment. One of the tools used is a PESTEL analysis which analyses the political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal environments to see where one can gain competitive advantages which they can use to achieve his objective of maximizing market share.
A monopoly would arise from the effective deployment of such strategies developed, in a market where other players are unable to compete due to the lack or insufficiency of the identified advantage - for example - Dangote aligns with practically any government in power so that he gains competitive advantages in the political environment, which come in the form of favorable policies, waivers, concessions etc. which enable him to dominate the industry/market to the point that other players are relegated or forced out. This is not in anyway wrong in the world of business, it is capitalism at its finest and it is the same across the world. Microsoft were so savage in this sense that anti-trust laws had to be enacted to protect other software companies. If you think Dangote's advantages are due to his ethnicity and not sheer brilliance and tact, how come he is replicating his success in several other African countries with various governments?
Therefore neither Dangote nor the government is doing anything wrong because what they have is a mutually beneficial strategic relationship. Dangote is simply a brilliant businessman that consistently outplays his competition. Though I do not like people that burn other's houses so that theirs can stand, I quite see see and agree with the points you have touched here, especially as far as a capitalist environment is concerned. 2 Likes |

The only way to bridge the division among southerners is to:
1) Get over the trauma of the civil war and stop blaming the Yoruba's for performing their patriotic duty. 2) Stop attacking the SW for voting Jonathan out, it only breeds disharmony. 3) Stop celebrating the herdsmen attacks in the SW, it is a collective menace which affects everyone from Ibadan to Enugu to Zamfara. 4) Respect your hosts when in their land, stop the disrespectful and foolish tagging of Lagos as no man's land. 5) Learn from the Hausa's and over 200 other ethnic groups peacefully resident in Lagos and other parts of the SW, learn to not incite or antagonize your hosts unnecessarily e.g.mockery over Illorin.

I don't hate the North, I hate the obvious abuse of rights of other ethnic group by the North. You always want to have your way in everything which hardly ever move this country forward. One of the reasons Igbos and Yoruba fight is because they are proud of their achievements, they have something to boast on, it is merely ego-war and nothing more, not even close to killing each other. The South often times have been the one putting the name of this country on global watch with their achievements in all the listed areas in the OP... and so far so good, only Dangote stands out. Lamido Sanusi , the current emir is among the few sane Northerners that exist, going by his antecedence.
