My state, like my kinsman Op has said earlier, offers a model on how 'northerners' and 'southerners'(the 2 rival regional classifications in the country as a whole) can live together as a whole. The Yorubas co-exist harmoniously with the Fulanis and Nupe. Nigeria can learn from this model and solve it's'inter-tribal/region crises. My state has offered to Nigeria incorruptible men of integrity like Tunde Idi-Agbon, who in just 20 months was turning Nigeria into China. If subsequent regimes followed the footsteps of Buhari/Idi-Agbon, Nigeria would today be the China of Africa. We have gave Nigeria Justice Alfa Belgore, the man that within 6 months reformed Nigerian judiciary before Katsina-Ala started messing it up again. Our men are reformers. We offer Nigeria a model of how meagre resources can be used to achieve reasonable development. Welcome to Kwara - the state of harmony. |

What's happening to People in the North Heeeellloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Can sombodi hear me thereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, Can som1 tell me where our northerners are to tell us their contributions!!! My State is a very Solid State. We hv produced people that would open the eyes of Nigerians to be intellectually sound to man the affairs of the country. The problem is we continue to dish out the Knowledge in a slow pace. But we are taking shape. We are the Center for Nigerian Research and Develoment. All Intellectual property in Nigeria has itz root from Ekiti State. We are about to go gaga. And u, Okija_juju and woteva ur name is, in dis world of Technology, don't forget that ur Juju from Okija shrine wud not help u build up a fone, ipad, carz, et al. Itz all called knowledge. Go bak to ur herbalist in d shrine and ask him wot knowledge is all about!!! Am sure he'll gladly tell and u'll come back to apologise to Ekitites. AM FROM EKITI |

@Okija_juju, we've also got Tourism centers, courtesy of our God given rocks, hills, springs, waterfalls et al, @Okija_juju, Wat has Delta State Brought to Nigeria when the proceeds from ur state has made people dt refuse to come to Ekiti State to gain more knowledge spend the Wealth of the masses anyhow. If only ur oil theives sought knowledge from Ekiti State professors and other indigenes from relevant sectors, Nigeria would have been a better place. |
| Re: What Is Your State's Contribution To The Nation by Ekiti1: 5:24pm On Oct 29, 2011 |
Briz:Aye re a da. Leave that cretin called okija. I am sure one Ekiti man has shown him where he belongs. @op Nobody can distpute my state has the largest no of professors that serves as a fountain of knowledge for others to drink. Tourist center in form of Ikogosi warm spring is also there. Agriculure? Why do u fink they call us the owners of pounded yam? Yes, we produce lotsa them yams! Am from Ekiti State (the fountain of knowledge) |
| Re: What Is Your State's Contribution To The Nation by Briz(m): 6:09pm On Oct 29, 2011 |
Well @afam4eva, when i say ALL, am using a figure of speech i felt u'll recognize. I didnt mean literrally ALL. Well i didn't expect u'd hv figured dt out anywayz. FYI @afam4eva, we've contributed to Nigeria several pioneers in the academia, mention it Profs Adegoke Olubummo(1st Nigeria Professor in the field of Mathematics), Adeyinka Adeyemi(1st Professor of Architecture in West Africa) Prof. Sam Aluko (The Great Economists) noted for popular saying of Economics is common sense made difficult Prof. Olu Ogunsakin (a notable policing consultant to the Home Office of USA) Prof Bolaji Aluko (Bayelsa state -oil producing state had to borrow him to head itz fed. uni) Prof. Peter Bodunrin (The great Nigerian Philospher) Professor Olufunmilayo Falusi Olopade, (member of United States National Cancer Advisory Board) This is the few am going to mention here. We so hv a lot of them notable in their fields. Just for the sake of the Situation the country is to provide enabling environment for R&D, we've decided to export some of our Professors to other parts of the globe as part of our state's foreign exchange. |

Briz:I'm sure many states can provide a similar list like the one you provided. However i think Ekiti has contributed immensely to education in Nigeria. But i would love to see Ekiti citizens using the education they've aquired to better Ekiti state. the state is really lagging behind states that are not known for the academic prowess. It doesn't speak well for education. |
| Re: What Is Your State's Contribution To The Nation by sweet9ja: 7:17pm On Oct 29, 2011 |
afam4eva:Is it so bad over there? Btw, I've still not heard fom our northern brethren, what going on out there? There's no denying that this is one of the most sensible posts on NL so far. |
| Re: What Is Your State's Contribution To The Nation by Ekiti1: 8:12pm On Oct 29, 2011 |
afam4eva:Thank you for acknowledging the fact that Ekiti has CONTRIBUTED to academic development in Nigeria which is the TOPIC UNDER DISCUSICCUSION Not how develped the state is. Dont imitate clueless okija _oogun in critisizing my state (unless u want to start a cyber war here wc I will gladly fight wt all sorts of sophisticated weapons in my arsenal) Ciao. sweet9ja:why dnt u come and see with your own 'korokoro' eyes b4 joining the bandwagon of haters |

| Re: What Is Your State's Contribution To The Nation by edoyad(m): 9:41am On Oct 30, 2011 |
who said Ogun state was the highest cement producer in the country ? You must be high on drugs. That belongs to kogi or benue if i'm not mistaken. Since i'm in sokoto at the moment, i'll speak for them before my own state. I speak with evidence and not out of the blues like most juveniles here www.sokotocement.com/ the above company produces about 500k tonnes of cement annually and plans are under way to boost production by 200% to 1.5 million tonnes in a 40billion naira deal Sokoto has the 2nd largest number of livestock in Nigeria. There's also a booming hides and skins business where they're taken to kano and lagos for processing(unfortunately). This means that Gucci belt your girlfriend is getting you for christmas or that Louis hand bag your Aristo brought back from spain might originally be from sokoto. www.tradeinvestnigeria.com/news/711371.htm |

Another state i've been in (NYSC) is the power state. Since no one has mentioned it here i'll chip in a bit. Any time you switch on a bulb, charge your phone/laptop, watch a movie, use the washing machine or sleep in an Air conditioned room, it's probably because of this state. Why ? 1. www.wikimapia.org/1196335/ Shiroro-Hydro, 2. www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Kainji_Dam 3. www.wikimapia.org/2836959/Jebba-Hydroel. . . The state is also an agricultural one. It has got subsistence and commercial farms . Infact it has a land mass that is only slightly smaller than the whole of the South South combined. . . . LAND MASS As at 26th August 1991 |

why do you think forest reserve is the bad thing? until them kill the natural habit to make parking lot before you happy? what do you tihnk allowed malaria to grow so much? I was finding your post very funny actually til you mentioned this, deforestation is NO joke abeg, that's the ONE thing they've done right (according to your list) kudos to them, [quote][/quote] Okija_juju (m) Okija Shrine Posts: 3791 Offline Re: What Is Your State's Contribution To The Nation « #12 on: October 28, 2011, 02:31 PM » Ekiti State prides itself as being the leech of Nigeria. They contribute absolutely nothing to the federal coffers. Their total IGR in a year can be counted within 30minutes by two people counting manually and transported to the bank on an Okada or Keke Napep. They also have the largest known natural forest reserve in the country as only 2 % of its land mass is inhabited. @OP Dont tell me what to do!! You are not the boss of me! |
