You see I like it when people put things in proper perspective, in your first reply you said "carting away" that suggest profit. Also when I replied you I agreed that you can have a turnover(bearing in mind turnover is different from profit) of 10 million naira per day in some areas of business especially oil. I can't dispute these claims on the ground of turnover per day but suggesting that figure as profit is what I can't swallow a position you corroborated when you said " you can make 10 million naira sale with less than 50,009 naira profit or even a loss". This takes me back to my first point,someone who rakes in 10 million naira per day with a net profit of say 500,000 is still not in the picture you tried to paint as he has to pay for what he has sold and cater for the running cost of his business inside this 500k profit. See my friend this is just to let you know that the real mega earners out there are people who've got the opportunity to drink from the pot of oil in the Niger Delta(these set of people cut across all regions and tribes) and not what you tried to pass across earlier ,don't want to mention the word because you've actually come across as someone with a lucid mind. By the way try avoiding insults when passing your message across.

It is only the upstream oil sector that can genuinely give you mega money and that is the riskiest part of the business where you can spend millions of dollars and end up not hitting oil in viable quantity.

There are other business opportunities that one may be lucky to have and you are made overnight.

I'll give you an instance; in 2008, Gentamycin sulphate injection 80mg/ ml was selling at 360 naira per packet of 100 ampoules at normal market price in Idumota. Before long, the product dried up in the market (if medicine no dey for Idumita, e no dey for Naija be that) and in less than 2 weeks, the price per packet shot up to 1,800 naira. My guy took delivery of two 40 ft. containers of the product when no one had it and sold all within a couple of days at between 1,800 naira to 1,500 naira. Now, a 40ft container carries about 936 cartons of the Genta 80 and each carton contains 45 packets of the product (ie one 40ft contains 936 x 45 = 42,120 packets). So, do your maths and tell me if that can't be compared to genuine oil money.

saintohia: If he did, what's the correct meaning?

The acronym "Naira" means what?


.

where is d acronym?

yabadabado: china phone don make even small village boys and girls to talk when learned people dey talk oh! this site runs on the spirit of tribalist and insecured yoriba and igbo people. i think the igbo people on the site are the most insecured people online and offline. i also think the yoriba people, although, the second largest tribe after the hausa/fulani...have the most illiterates using mobile phones.

i laugh everytime igbos talk about biafra... a nation of traders dont want the benefits of large population when a significant number of it people are traders.hahahahaha. a yoriba nation without nigeria would remain rural in most area, yes, educated minds abound in southwest but, take a look at any western nigeria city and you will agree.

i don't no much about awolowo but
no nigerian politician is still being spoken about 2 and a half decades after their death like him. ojukwu will be forgotten when ibos get a shot to be president, infact, his building is already being destroyed by ibo people.

Aside the insults, this is one of the most intelligent statements i Have ever read on Naira land. Too original... honest and from a well thinking mind. Keep it up...

solomon111: The only people that regard awolowo in Nigeria are his people.
Beyond the SW,he is known as a murderous,conniving,deceitful,backstabbing bastard that he is.
I hope yorubas are enjoying the one Nigeria,he help create.

Hold whatever thoughts you like of him, it shakes no bone in his revered grave....neither does it change history or his legacies.... the best of what you hold dear does not even match his worst... sorry dude... Even Ojukwu, who I bet was and still is your best and of blessed memory, an active participant of the Biafra war than your highness, made a tribute to him as the best president Nigeria never had....

So in all honesty and objectivity, if you were me, what would you believe? Your comment above or Ojukwu's?... Save the answer brother

what did awolowo achieve to become the bolded? who made such comment, and why are you yorubas always parroting it? did such comment come from the mouth of an infallible one? if so, why oppose his wisdom in creating biafra? if not, why parrot his utterance like some national oodua anthem? i am waiting for answers.

o'boy:
i graduated from Imsu and i payed all my school and Accomodation fees
give me one reason to Appreciate Him

My brother, the exact reason you should. He had a concept as a premier of a region, upon which he was elected. A mandate with his electorate he worked to and did fulfill. Other premiers could not match the same feat.
3 CEOs chosen to lead 3 organizations..one outshines by meeting and surpassing the expectations of his organization. Now tell me, should members of the other organizations hate him for this or call to account their own CEOs for failing them? Judge for yourself for you are wise.

solomon111: He was one of the so-called founding fathers of Nigeria,so he has to share some of the blame.
Split the goddamn country.
France is not bigger than the SE,yet they are big enough to be a country.

Only an illiterate Igbo boy would say something like that in bold.

Which school you go or which Oga graduate you for Alaba

Malawian: what did awolowo achieve to become the bolded? who made such comment, and why are you yorubas always parroting it? did such comment come from the mouth of an infallible one? if so, why oppose his wisdom in creating biafra? if not, why parrot his utterance like some national oodua anthem? i am waiting for answers.

Funny thing about the whole situation was ojukwu used those words to make fun of the deal Gowon/North made with Awolowo to get him to help fight against Biafra and how they turned against him when his help was not needed anymore. I still find it funny, they use a mockery as some kind of messiah word.

Tolexander: stop flaunting your ignorance and hypocrisy here. France has a total land mass of 543,965sq km(210,026sq mi)
nigeria has a total land mass of 923,768 sq.km. By your foolish illustration, SE covers 60percent of nigerian land mass.

=First profound Educational System in Africa that left a people educationally outlying others even till today in the country...

=Founding the Legacy for a University that at the time of its creation was the 5th most valuable real estate in the third world and still is the best in Nigeria

=The First Television Station in Africa when a large part of Europe didn't have one...and England had just had one less than a decade before

=Minister of Finance of a country, employed from jail, who managed the country without a single debt, leaving a trade surplus during war and peace time, a feat that not even Britain's PMs could not achieve....

=A man awarded to do a doctorate Study in Economics for the prestigious foremost UK university-Oxford without an MSc in Economics..

=One still studied in the East in the area of Political Studies in a subject called Awoism

=First Skyscraper Building in Nigeria


=First and only leader in black Africa to institute a functioning Free Health Sysytem for His region for years....all these without the oil money of the present day

=Produced proteges who have also achieved great feats in the country like Jakande, Bola Ige etc... Still remains the Single Icon/mentor of Achievers like Governor Fashola

=Prime Minister of Britain Ed Heath confessed that Awo was fit and would succeed as President of the US and Prime Minister of England...No other testimony impresses me like this...Up till today, it has never been said of any African or Middle Eastern or Asian Leader...

This is the caliber of person you are asking what he has done to command the respect of Gen Ojukwu(of blessed memory)?
Do you know what you are saying? I bet you don't. Go and read more. Bless you!

booqee: i think the sun has melted ur brain.

Please tell me how they turned against him? Honestly I am willing to know. And please, links and references... no beer palour conjectures. Thanks

Ibos are not smiling. . . .

Someone should open a thread telling us what oju-iku achieved as the president of biafra if there is any.

Malawian: how many books have been written about awo that was not from fellow Yorubas? who else is shouting awo awo if not the Yorubas, point of correction, awo did not build oau ife, he mere commandeered it and renamed it after himself. awo did not plant any cocoa plantation in the west, he merely commandeered the existing ones of which a large 5 belonged to igbo and oyinbo farmers. the dude was doing efulefu projects like first sky scrapper and shit. take a look at the educational content of his people, his supposed primary legacy and you will agree that the guy just wasted everybody's time, and a lot of innocent babies life before shacking the tea of life.

Your comments really reveal you. I surely know only the internet can create a voice for such reasoning. How can he name a University after himself? University of Ife was named Obafemi Awolowo University, 3 days after his death in May 1987. Like I call such statements, this is beer palour conjecture. It suffices to render all your other statements futile.

Sunny_bobo: Yea Pa Awolowo coined the term NAIRA.

The full meaning of NAIRA is;

N - Never
A - Allow
I - Igbos
R- Rule
A- Again.

Trust me, I got this info from a very reliable source.

I pity those Igbo people flocking to ACN led APC.

I know Igbo people are very much Intelligent than this irresponsible play-victim rantings of yours, believe me I know.

booqee: Ok. But it doesn't make any difference now. Nigeria currency value situation is still bad. So next pls

and what has name got to do with value of currency? Do u think our currency wld have been doin better if it maintain the nigeria pound name?


Sms....

Sunny_bobo:

Dey there dey shit for polythene bag while a barely literate Igbo guy who had no access to the free education policy you enjoyed is carting away 10 million naira per day right there in your back yard.

And if he did, I am sure He would not be as insulting as you because he's busy...

Seriously? Few months ago, an article posted on this website even, go search for it. I ain't wasting my time doing it where a northern general admitted in his rebuttal against dokunbo-asari that Awolowo was promised to be install as president if he helped fight with them. Along with another rebuttal by another northern general who admitted how the subdue the same man's actions. All are in google and even this forum. The two articles reached over 100 pages. Go search for them, I'm not about to do it for you. Why did I bring it up? Just a background to connect what I am about to say right now.

Now to answer your question through his life cycle

The man got sent to jail.
Got released
They used him to fight Biafra war
Got sent back to jail few years after the war
They refused to release him
He ended up taking his own life out of misery.

That's how they turned against him. After the Biafra War, when last did you hear Awolowo dey? Wasn't it jail? The major keyword there is: Got sent back to jail few years after the war and he died in that damn jail. This is what we called "419ed". He was played like a mugu.

Nairaland,una no dey carry last.Thumbs up...who coined the name 'Nairaland'?#over to you egbon Seun,talk truth o#

solomon111: it still dosen't affect my point,one bit.

Oh boy! it does.... because if you can not place this little fact into perspective, little doubts your other bigger conclusions...

How can you name something after yourself 3 days after your death?

OAU was university of Ife up till 1987 after Awolowos death when it was changed

[size=18pt]Kindly read what Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu wrote about Chief Obafemi Awolowo in his book "Because I Am Involved" page 159- 160.[/size]

In political terms, he would be considered an adversary of the igbos given the intense rivalry between him and Dr Nnamdi Azikwe. As a leader of the modern cast, he has left Nigeria standards which are indelible, standards beside which future aspirants to public leadership can be eternally measured. He was firm, articulate, painstaking, and uncompromising. He was, for a long time, the only Nigerian leader who enunciated principles and played down personalities. He was a brilliant political administrator and a most erudite teacher. He not only identified himself wholly with the aspirations of the Yoruba people of Nigeria but also he was able to convince the Yoruba people of Nigeria that he and only he epitomized the highest point of their political aspirations and consciousness. He was loved, he was feared but above all he belonged to the people he professed to lead. At his death I had the singular honour of proposing for him the epitaph that has endured – ‘he was the best President that Nigeria never had’.

Many have wondered what I meant by this, but I believe the statement was clear. Nigeria would have benefited from his presidency because of his inate presidential qualities. Nigeria must continually regret that he never, for many reasons, had the opportunity to serve at the presidential level. Awo was a leader of great stature. He was a leader who was eminently successful. [size=13pt]That he did not fulfill a presidential ambition cannot detract from his leadership, and us, poor us, who were not his people, must continue, to regret that our own leaders had not led us as he did his people or achieved for us as he did for his people.[/size]

He perceived his job as leading his people and God his soul. He did a lot for them. Whenever he saw an opportunity for his people, he went for it. He had a dream for the Yorubas and was steadfast in the pursuit of that dream. He knew where he was going and took his people with him without deceit. That is why he will remain immortal in the area of his influence.

^^^^^^ reading the above speech by Ojukwu, one would understand why Igbos are jealous and angry that they never had such a leader. Very well so, it is just envy that's all

I won't be surprised if this isn't what you wrote and coined "Ojukwu words from his book". Ironically enough, you chose the only book of his that doesn't have a preview of it on google books. Then again, it is you, alj_harem, after all. Weren't you also the dude that posed a video of Nigerian army safeguarding oyinbo into Lagos state and coined it "Nigeria army safeguarding biafran's to Lagos state." stupidly thinking none of us would watch the video. Remember that post of yours? I am still waiting for you to answer my question from that thread long time ago. Since when did "Biafrans" become "Oyinbo". I am still waiting and waiting for that answer along with other proofs i have asked you to verify which you have never done despite screaming "I have proof". I doubt anyone is surprise. Your credibility has long been destroyed years ago to others. For me, months ago. Try again.

Who is this idioit!. Did Awolowo ever went to jail the second time?. I don't blame you, it is those imbecilic opinion moulders in your village that are feeding you with lies. You and your tribesmen are just tools in the hands of morons. Awolowo did not take his life, your brother Ojukwu rather was the one who took his own life. Ode o shi

So He died in comfort of his own home? He drank otapiapia which one of "your own tribesmen" admitted on an article at home where there is no trouble is that what you are trying to sell. LMFAO. You better go and get as many media as your people are known to do and rechange that history. The nigg@ died in year 1987, years before the end of Biafra war. He died in a jail cell.

By the way Read this "http://247ureports.com/how-awolowo-committed-suicide-by-abdulmumini-adeku/" written by Abdulmumini Adeku". Last I checked, that is not an Igbo name.

Go check the thread, I replied you and if you watched the video, you would see that biafrans were being brought it by Nigeria soldiers to lagos for rehabilitation from the war. Also go watch videos on youtube concerning that.
