Impossible, Bello is kogi state governor backed up by the law if you review the act of electoral reform decree under the 1999 constitution.
Not getting his Pvc transfer is the fault of Inec but as long his Pvc detailed has been registered online at ince database, there is no cause for alarm.

hmmmmm madam, I hail u oo.

[b]You need to wean yourself of any sentiments.

I can tell that you try your best to analyse things but I'm afraid external influences seem to overwhelm.

It is true, there's a huge element of "luck"involved in having oil deposits and actually finding them. Yet, if you don't buy the ticket you don't win the lottery.

Government's commitment to increasing our revenue streams doesn't exclude oil exploration.

Government contributes its own quota to this process but not nearly as much as E&P companies do.

So your analogy of hungry family pales with respect to how the business is undertaken.

The sentiments we bear as a nation impedes development and needs to be exorcised.

I myself am Ijaw/ Itshekiri and I've travelled round Nigeria and indeed the world.

Good people abound but it's that 'little evil' in us that makes us reduce everything to tribe, partisanship, religion and such.

The geology of the region as known today lends some support to further investigation. There's a good chance that another major find exists within that basin. How can that be a bad thing?

If the price of oil reduces to $1 doesn't it make sense to sell 2.8 million barrels rather than 2.5 million?


We have to put an end to this malaise. We cannot continue to act as primitive homosapiens.

This is a unique opportunity to get things right.

Play your role well.[/b]

I am not being sentimental but logical in my approach. I would rather support the extraction of solid minerals, which the North has in abundance and proven commercially, than oil exploration.

Add that to agriculture, manufacturing into finished goods, and see Nigeria become rich.

So, which is better in this case? Oil exploration or solid mineral extraction? We have Kaoline in abundance, coal, bitumen, copper, gold, just name it Only limestone as been tapped.

Had It Been That Boys Menstruate and see thier period.. It would have been funny and somehow weird.. Whats ur opinion about it? #just_having_fun

yuck!

rusher14:
Nobody is abandoning exploration.

Oil prices at the moment means investors are more wary about putting their money into such long term investments.

Nevertheless, even such places as Myanmar are exploring for hydrocarbons as we speak.

You do realise production wells do not have an eternal shelf life. So making more finds become necessary.

So making these statements without detailed information serves you no good.

I would rather the country can add another 100k barrels into our daily oil basket than nothing.

Lastly, if undertaken it would put to bed the general argument about the presence or lack thereof of hydrocarbons in the Northeast.

bro, with all due respect, I bet you were taught scale or relative preference in economic, wheren't you? Would you leave certainty for uncertainty? You know quite well that exploration is, a certain extent, except for improved technology, a game of luck and despite everything, only when an oil well is drilled before can know if prior geological analysis were right, by then, hope you knwo how much might have been wasted in a country where refineries are in comatose.

Sit down and think it through and tell me if this is the best time for this. Imagine your own father, instead of taken care of his children with the little finances he has, he is busy marrying more wives and birthing more children. What will you call such a father? Will you be proud of him?

rusher14:
Which of the factors can you authoritatively say is missing?

I never quoted you. Let the person I quoted speak.

Do you have any sedimentary environment in the North East?

rusher14:
Are you saying oil exploration is no longer taking place globally ?

yes, many are abandoning exploration RIGHT NOW.

carinmom:
If oil could be found in commercial quantity in Niger republic a country in the heart of the Sahara desert, why is it impossible to find it in the north east?

All the negative comments here confirmed that southerners particularly those from ss and se are the ones frustrating the government's effort for oil exploration in the north.

Dude, do you know what it takes for oil accumulation in area? If yes, please tell me the factors involved. I didn't even know it wasthis slowpoke I was quoting.

Ya. He may lose 2019 elections.

But I won't still vote for PDP in 2019.

Gbam. I won't eitherm I heard they are rebrand. So please spread the word so that gullible folks don't fall into the trap.

adioolayi:
I doubt if you've ever supported him....my view though.

bro, most of my nairaland friends who know me offline knows my stance or support.

brainpulse:
shove ur regrets into ur mouth

I don't care what you think. I don't celebrate misplaced priorities.

drss:
is dis how d dullard intents to diversify d economy

so unfortunate

Lalasticlala, please front page o

Buhari will definitely lose 2019 election, before it even begins.

Where there is no light, no fuel, job losses, Fulani killings, dollar is 305 to naira, he travels too often, investors fleeing the country, businesses are shutting down... refineries are in comatose.

This is the best Buhari can come up with.

I regret ever supporting this man honestly.


P.S: Those saying I never supported Buhari, I believe @Chibenze, Rozayx5 and Ideology can bear me witnesses.

I don't attach sentiments where logic and objectivity is needed.

God bless you, wishing you good success in your exams. My Regards to Prof Ogbimi of SOLEP,with office @ the computer building.

Though I agree with almost what Prof Ogbimi wrote in his books, but I will[b] NEVER [/b]agree with a point(prescribed solution of acquiring skills) of his that engineers have some skills to learn from some artisans (Like the metallurgist gaining knowledge from the blacksmith). I believe if we have well equipped labs, workshops and training institutes, we will NEVER need gain technical skill from the artisans cos their level would have been too low for us to visit

Typical of over inflated ego of the average Nigerian graduate.

Who give a fork about levels where knowledge is the most important thing. You see, this is where you lots just pour over big grammar without basics. What is wrong if you learn from the artisan and then, as a graduate which you claim to be, improve on their own system and transferring it to other graduates?

The way you and I see education is quite different and your way of reasoning is why many NIGERIAN GRADUATES are roaming the streets without Nothing to show for it, despite bagging Bsc, Msc, Phd and what have you, thus the title of title of your thread.

If I ask you to start meat selling business, I know you will curse my whole generation saying things like "A whole graduate like you" ,"How can you descend so low" blah blah...

suasmablow:
This is pure falsehood.
Why are these cheap online media platforms behaving this way.
Must you deceive the public simply because you hate a man or his party?
This is purely unprofessional
There was no such time when this concocted story in this report happened.
Perhaps, the anchor of the programme on Lovefm was a man and not even a woman.

you said perhaps which is "maybe". So, you clearly don't have concrete information to backup your claims

Litmus:
Britain refused to treat a pregnant Nigerian woman experiencing life threatening difficulty in the name of clamping down on so called medical tourism. They sent her home to Nigeria to die and she died. I highlighted the case here on Niraland and so many people here were sympathetic to Britain against the Nigerian woman and now you people come here to call black people devils for the unfortunate circumstances of the woman the op posted. At least the people responsible on this occasion are third world people but Britain is a FIRST WORLD NATION and they let that Nigerian woman die because she was an immigrant. Now you tell me who is the devil.


This sort of hypocrisy is why i detest Africans and wish Nigeria to go it alone.

Excuse. People delivered before the existence of hospital. Were there no Nigerian nurses in the whole of UK that could have helped done it at home? You can't blame them because the woman couldn't afford their fees right? What was she doing in the UK prior to that time?

Your story revealed a woman who had no job in the UK, nor was she working and one who couldn't afford the medical bills. Where was the man that impregnated her? Why UK when that child can be had in Nigeria?

The blame rest on the Nigerian woman, solely. This isn't time for sentiment. How would you feel if after working so hard, you manage to pay taxes every month only for the government to give it free to someone who can't afford medical bills and to think this madness had been going on for several decades.


Please learn to stop being sentimental, which is why we aren't moving forward as a country. There comes a time when you to be logical and objective.

Raymondenyi:
I know the whole story sire

then why blame someone who tried to safe a life instead of the doctors? That hospital is supposed to be closed down.

oneolajire:
what a pitable comment

Dude, yours is more pitiable. There is nothing I detest as people who are kill joy and your epistle is one. By the way, what was the reason for your email in the OP?

Raymondenyi:
stop defending the undefendable

bro. Maybe you were misinformed. Here is what happened. The dead mother was refused medical attention at the hospital because of medical fees. In order to at least save the babies in womb since their mother died, she had to cut open the sister but unfortunately, the babies didn't make it as well as one had died before they could even open up their mother. One that survived died few minutes later. It's that sad but you know even in Nigeria, doctors do this.

carinmom:
You know nothing about me, so stop saying trash

fork off. You disgust me more than an faeces

Adaure4ever:
SMH. Teach her na.. A woman's value should not be determined on her bed performance.. Is relationship/marriage all about sex?

the way 70-80% of Nigerian men see women is really pathetic. I don't blame honestly since most ladies have proven that is what they are only good at.

Personally, I look beyond sex. If a girl like make she sabi all the styles and know how to do it, if you lack in major departments, nothing for you.

I see most guys get so attached to a lady cos of sex, my case is quite on the reverse.

goldtooth:
You just abandon me. No be so oo

how I take abandon u? U no get my number? When was the last time u called nor buzzed me on whatsapp?

Adaure4ever:
Because APC are yet to find someone who can lie like him.

epic.

datigbogirl:
Sorry to burst your bubble but Entrepreneurship isn't about innovation but basically about meeting people's needs...the means might eventually be via innovation or copycat...whichever means but it's majorly and basically about meeting people's needs.

The Asians are renowned for being wonderful copycats yet they have a formidable economy today simply because they've been meeting the needs of majority of people especially Africans when you consider Techno, Infinix, Gionee, Toyota, Honda etc...

So if I'm selling pure water as long as I'm meeting people's needs I'll be a great entrepreneur... A woman sells "Akara" in front of my shop and i notice how she started from scratch...when i left the place i started noticing she and her daughters had started wearing 9ice clothes...only God knows where she'll get to from there...

The most important thing isn't Innovation but Attitude as dats what will determine your Altitude in life...

The OP is really funny. When you ask them how many business they have ran, they can't speak. Too much Analysis Paralysis

ourchoice:
Yeah, but then every problem creates an opportunity for great minds.

I remember one Indian guy who graduated from MIIT where he went to study mechanical engineering; automotive major.

This guy didn't stay back in United States after his graduation like many Nigerian youths would do, what did he do?

He left US back to his remote community in Southern India to do what you may ask?

In his village, they didn't have government electricity but they farm.

He used the waste materials produced by his local village farmers to design a steam engine plant that converts the waste to hot steam, and he used to steam to drive/propel a locally manufactured electricity generator with very large coil that ended up producing over 300kva electricity.

This guy designed 3 of this local steam plant in his community and started giving them constant electricity, and charged the villagers some money as electricity bill.

You need to see his local office, lol

He then hired more village boys as his staff, who helped him to maintain the plants, and also hired two ladies as bill collectors.

He didn't wait for his government, he gave his people rare solution to their problem and charged them.

This happened in 2002/03.

Later, when government wanted to electrify the community, they had no option than to partner with his existing electricity power company, and now he owns a big power generation company, expanding into other communities.

But if it were a Nigerian youth, he will never do that! It's degrading to his title: A GRADUATE!!! He will rather spend his entire life planning how to get job at Chevron, Mobil, Agip, Schlumberger, etc

I am sorry to say that we Nigerian youths aren't inventive enough...if we are, we won't need government in most things, but government will be forced to work and partner with us

you should have quoted the OP when you made this post, bro. Nice one.

oneolajire:
Let's start to tell the govt and policy makers that they need to invest and equip the Nigerian students so that they'll solve national problems. Nigeria needs modern libraries, laboratories and workshops so that we can develop goods and provide modern services for our nation.

I personally will NEVER depend on a government to equip me, then my purpose and time in school was a complete waste.

ade2008:
Another lazy Nigerian graduate.Being a graduate does not means you should not get your hand dirty.Your paper qualification is what is deceiving you. Learn from the IBO , that's why they have less unemployed people

My sentiment exactly! Dude is all about paper or what he has read.


This kind of person will rather wait to have 1Million before starting out. Lol

oneolajire:
I have spoken the bitter truth about Nigeria and not rubbished it. We have been moving in this directionless policy, yet no breakthrough. Why don't we practice entrepreneurship the way successful countries have done?

I believe the best way to develop a country is not by using crude means of production, but by using modern machines and other technological devices that can be improved over time. Blacksmiths can never have the capacity to supply our iron and steel demand, likewise the crude means of refining fuel can never provide quality fuel as well as produce significant quantity to supplement that of the standard refineries.

Please, what does being Enterprising mean or being and Entrepreneur mean?

What you are saying is solely dependent on how the owner of a business sees his business. This is why reading is VERY important, which is what many are lacking. When you read books written by other entrepreneurs, you will begin to see things differently.

Do you notice anything about top entrepreneur? They don't engage in businesses that can not affect more their local environment, they think Global when they first started.

That is the key!
