love and business don't go together

its worse if your the boss, your business will suffer

Rexology:
This is not the whole truth about the Igbos. I will prefer an average Hausa muslem man to an average Igbo man, any day and any time. If the Hausas are the ones controlling trading in Nigeria, like the Igbos , the general price index would have been low.



Before you think I don't know what am saying, quote me in Igbo language... and I will definitely reply you in that language.

An Igbo risks his money and flies to the corners of the earth to source products and you expect him to give to you for peanuts

Is trading not a free market anymore for the average yoruba and Hausa man to go into?

Even the Suya in Kano is not the same price in Lagos?

Quote me in Yoruba and I will reply you back

E na gwam ihe mma ho

Tosin Bucknor is an OAP (@ Top Radio Lagos) ....except maybe she's also into oil business sha. Congrats and HML to her

please be specific is it Palm oil, groundnut Ooil or Engine oil....biko

What is vanity is the speed with which you jump p on social media to show off your wealth!!!

Man is made for something much more grander, poverty is when you don't have the Truth of who you are

Material wealth is vanity only in the sense that it does not satisfy man's test for happiness, if it did why is Bill gates giving all his wealth away??

Man must live in dignified conditions materially and that's the collective responsibility of all.....buying luxury cars upon luxury reveals the shallowness of the person and not wealth

some months back i had to give out my generator, last month i had to buy another one as supply dwindled beyond comfort


how is electricity supply in your neighbourhood

SaiBuharii:
The problem here is he has presented this scenerio as if he is primarily opening the cinema to employ youths, meanwhile, it is more of a business concern. Politicians and deceit though.

When babies star talking they just say anything that come too their head

Which wan is deceit again.......a business is not a charitable affair, moreover people will have jobs now and ur here blabbing


#benMurray Bruce will transform Nigeria if given the chanve

janellemonae:
Buhari cant be scared of a referendum when NO ONE has called for one. He cant just split d country. There has to be a formal request from a region, like in scotland.

80% resource control is not wise. The regions shouldnt be more powerful dn d centre. We can maintain individual police systems but we need a federal army. Regions would become distrustful towards one another if everything is completely decentralized. This is d reason d aburi accord fell apart. Ojukwu wanted complete confederation wt a decentralization of d army, but at dt point 70% of d nigerian military was igbo. Everyone knew what would happen next, they would easily invade d midwest for their oil. And he proved them right during d war. He couldve gotten away wt port harcourt & moved but he entered d midwest. The midwest was NEVER part of d old eastern region.

If resource control is 80%, then its better to just split into countries. Ur saying this because ur from d southsouth but Nigeria existed before oil. And oil might be too costly to get out of d ground very soon. What will you say then? Think about it. I actually want to understand ur opinion.

There isn't any need re-inventing wheel. Canada is a classic confederate with multiple languages but today is a viable nation and the citizens are glad

the regions must be autonomous on every front else we are still stuck in an inefficient state with the citizens suffering for it

The autonomous regions would benefit from seamless bilateral

The centre will only have control over institutions like the Military, judiciary and executives to oversee very limited areas

Until the center is limited in its extant powers, this madness for power for the centre, without any meaningful development, will not allow the regional governments to to be creative about development

Pavore9:
Is high time we start having creatively pimped vehicles on our roads especially with commercial buses as obtainable in Kenya.

I know sey na you

Quote me anywhere

janellemonae:
Regional government makes sense. We agree on dt one. But its useless without rotational central leadership across d regions and at least 50% resource control. Nigerians are too tribal for us to vote normally. Clearly this election shows pple take rejection personally.

Nigerians aren't too tribal as it appears; it's just that having your kinsman, they assume. Is the best way to achieve regional development, which most times is tragically reduced to roads, which most times aren't built, Obasanjo is a classic example


Imagine if west Africa was re colonised and Nigeria, Togo, Benin and Ghana were lumped as one country....tribalsim will play out again

We need to "own" Nigeria on an individual level and the only way is to decentralise the government and let the people determine the growth of their region.....

But Obasnajo never wanted to hear of it; nor Yaradua nor even a less power hungry Jonathan....its a big NO for Buhari

Regional government with 80 percent resource control is the smartest way to turn Nigeria into a viable country within 10 years....

That's the change that is needed, that is the change we want, anything short of this is a mirage, a scam

But why is Buhari scared of referendum if not for the possibility of the north loosing our Oil in the South South

Only Truth can set Nigerians free

janellemonae:
My dear, yorubas are not complaining about seccession. No one feels margnalized or goes arond wt a victim mentality. Nigeria will get better wt time. The niger deltans have always had a gripe wt d govt over resource control. Unfortunately their son did nothing. Its ONLY u pple dt want to secceede. And now u want to force everyones hands.

Why dont u guys just like peace except ur in control??, 6yrs into our independence u committed a coup because u were not in control & d country went down a bloody path cos of it. 15yrs into our new democracy AGAIN u want to scatter d whole board game cos ur not in control. Are u d only tribe in Nigeria Its like dealing wt impatient greedy wild animals.

You keep mentioning control as if it directly affects your well being or those around you?

What you don't appreciate yet is that becasue your kinsamn is in aso rock will not improve your Quality of Life; if Rocahs is allowed to rule how does that help the Igbo development

The board game has been a mess from the word go: forced marriages do not last because it wasn't mutually agreed

I am sad to see millions of youths life and destiny being sacrificed on the altar of a wasteful nation

Norway has been ranked, for five years straight, as the best country in the world...can anyone want to secede from a working partnership?

Like I have been saying Secession isn't the answer regional government within a Nigerian state is like u have in the US, Canada etc

It's insanity to expect different results by applying the same methodolgy

The earlier we snapped out of the Nigerian nightmare the better for every Nigerian

The Nigerian must come before Nigeria and not the other way round

MIPNIG:
Buhari just made this t.wat a global star... Look at the name tag - human right activist? What nonsense. I am Igbo and Kanu does not represent my believe. Change in name is not same as calling for accountability of leaders. This movement would have first of all focused on our regional leaders to account for the allocations they have mismanaged under Nigeria. This movement would have proposed a weaker federal government under Nigeria and call for regional resource control in order to drive healthy competition across board.

Instead, this british citizen called Kanu is calling for guns and bullets and hatred for other tribes. This is absolute rubbish.

Nigeria needs a referendum badly

What has Nigeria achieved after 55 years.....the countries we started nationhood are 20 years ahead and you think this is cool


I am igbo

I don't support biafra because the way to go is in community albeit a voluntary one

Nigeria is better together after it has been re structured to true fiscal federalism with the ineffective 36 states collapsed to 6 regions; Nigeria will achieved 100 times more than its currently having

Why are the SW and north not clamouring for their self determination?

Is it that they are scared of being lonely.....but seriously Nigeria needs to be re structured else Buhari's sacks and probes and leakage blocking is in vain

janellemonae:
If igbos want to seceede, they will come together, get a representative & make their demands for Nigeria known. No other tribe will do their job for them.

Igbos are the ones doing all the dirty work....once they suceed I know the cowardly Niger deltans and the craft yorubas will follow suit...True or false

theshield:
amadioha that ur pastors set on fire? he is dead..................
Igbos should get ready for refugees crisis and IDP. biafra youths must take up arms and and many people will be displaced in the region.

When boko Haram started, all northern muslims were happy and singing the songs of allah. Today Biafra militancy has started and igbos are doing the same mistake Hausa did by initial support of militancy.

FACT:
Igbos should get ready for refugee crisis cos these biafra youths are not ready to back down and Nigeria military will not fold their arms.

I am not pro biafra but my question is, is it by force to remain in Nigeria

baby124:
Let us not claim we belong on the indexes when we clearly don't. Nigeria's presence on those indexes have been clearly fabricated. We are not even strong enough to have ever featured on those indexes. What ever we made from oil was stolen and not used to strengthen our economy. What ever investment they claim, is artificial and clearly one sided.

Our economy gains nothing when the so called investor bribes some criminals with scraps, so they can steal our common wealth. Most of these reactions are a fall out on Buhari's stand to strengthen the naira. If we don't stand up and sort ourselves, we will never be free from economic slavery. Let us focus on cleaning our dirty house before inviting opportunists to come and invest.

We need to focus on building a strong economy and stop electing dull people who cannot think past the crumbs they receive today. I am sure Nigerians will be shocked at how much was lost to these so called strong economies/ "investors" because some dull criminals chose to settle themselves at the expense of the economy. If we ask for the countries these "investor's" come from to investigate the investor criminals, all we will get is stories.

All these big banks are the life blood of their countries. The African gets punished for fighting back. They only want to create a false panic in the market. How else will they get us to keep selling ourselves by doing what they want? Does it make sense that Nigeria, the giant of Africa finally gets someone that is doing something about corruption, yet they predict doom and gloom. Isn't that in a normal country supposed to boost investor confidence? So what are we saying. Let us face our work and do the right thing for one, investors will come begging and then we can negotiate better terms. If we do not do this, Africa will not move forward. We Nigerian's are the light for Africa.

We are just finding our level economically. Let's be honest with ourselves here. We have nothing to show for the so called oil boom that will entice investors to even stay. Development does not happen on the pages of secret documents, it will be felt and seen if it was ever there.

You are just bent on defending the ineptitude of the government of the day!


Let's see how long you will go on with this

TooNoisy:
Summary is that the man is useless. Tell me what crime she committed. They said they will stay for a year, what if it was a genuine mistake. How can you tell your wife to abort a baby? Does he know the complications that can come from abortions?

He is just looking for an excuse to cheat. Like seriously, how does cheating solve anything.

Honestly this world is getting more stupid......imagine a man telling his WIFE to abort their first fruit?

From the title of the thread I thought the story was that the man caught his wife wiith their driver or something.......

While this is may be good intentioned but the buhari should look at results achieved

A Fashola would love to work with someone familiar to him, with whom he can trust and relate freely better than someone from the civil service

Buhari's personal appointments has been based mainly on his close associates whom he can trust and all; I think he may want to cut costs but he should realsie that results is what counts and not savings of this naturean which is at best a drop in a bucket

Cutehector:
Gosh I wish I were d inspector of police...

Every nabbed ipob protester will be whipped to pieces

Am Igbo but not pro-biafra

But mu issue with your comment is that can't a people agitate for whatever issues they are having against a state

Nigerian youths laundering the image which the old regime had stained over the decades


I believe a crop of Nairalander here with their sharp mind can turn nigeria to dubai in less than 10 years

salisy:
igbos are clueless

you guys should get sense

these army and police will just waste your life and useless your land for nothing

do you still need a second lesson

Biafra? why now

would have been more feasible when GEJ was there

Hypocrites bunch

i am igbo

i am not clueless

the world has passed the stage where agitation for secessation is termed treasonable

i DONT support biafran seccessation

Yet under the UN charter which is binding on Nigerian indigenous people have the inalienable rights to want out

i keep wondering why people who find igbos disgusting still hate to see them agitate for a break away....honest;y can you be brutally sincere and tell me the unedited reason behind this?

FOR nIGERIA NOT TO BE WORKING ALL THESE DECADES IT MEANS THERE IS SOMETHING FUNFAMENTALLY WRONG WITH ITS STRUCTURES




If Buhari is a true leader and father he will

orobs93:
Yea

Am scared it's like over confidence an complacency will sell us out

Amuneke is a level headed player and coach, he knows how to get the players in the right frame of mind


winning the cup sef is not as important as further grooming the players after the tournament and growing our football

Tosyne2much talk of short guy

No tall nigerian lady will decriminate on the short davido



Na OBO sef go dey decriminate


In Igbo parlance, money is referred to as the handsomeness of a man

A reduction though! But a tragic fact

Yorubas will foorm Odua republic once biafra suceeds.....


Am not pro biafra, I feel the agitation should be about good governace in igboland

*a progressive Igbo man*

*a

should Biafra miraculously work.........the yorubas and Niger deltans will tow the same lane......what hypocrisy

SeverusSnape:
Saraki will still go scot free after all is said and done.

Anti kworupsion war my foot. ;

New sheriff in town my ass...

Saraki will loose his senate presidency seat but will not end up in a jail

MizMyColi:
The same group of people who, gallantly led by their grand patron, President Muhammadu Buhari, belligerently trooped into the then state house under the leadership of Lam Adesina (of blessed memory).

Alhaji Lam's words to them is forever printed in the Sands of time as the weight of his words kept them at the edge of their seats.



http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/11/day-lam-adesina-clashed-with-buhari-marwa-others/

It is the height of hypocrisy and goal post shifting for them to release such wanton warnings to FFK and any other person who deems it fit to speak up.

Buhari once called the Federal government Boko Haram.

People have been massacred by the fulanis under bizzare exigencies, where were the members of this group to strongly condemn such?

Elrufai once posted this statement via his twitter account...
"We will write this for all to read. Anyone, soldier or not that kills the Fulani takes a loan repayable one day no matter how long it takes."

Where were this group to condemn such actions which clearly reeked of troublemaking than patriotism?

I will not be a party to oppression and undignified muzzling.
Let them do their worst!

Just love to read up the madam anyday, anytime

20pounds:
I pity gullible Nigerians that keep defending these politicians without being paid. They only care about themselves.

With what happened in the 2015 elections, Nigeria has been finally handed over to the politicians to decide who becomes what, how and when.

GEJ came in as a product of the masses revolt against the elites. They allowed it but ensured that he failed, to make us see 'our folly'. They gathered together(irrespective of party differences) to select Buhari, who has a semblance of the GEJ quality of 'ordinary man' to assuage us. After Buhari, they'll gather again, either in APC or PDP to select another candidate and market him as the Messiah. The masses will fall for the trick and it continues like that.

Today, the keyword is Change and Anti-corruption. Even Amaechi and Akpabio mouths that word! Tomorrow it might' eldorado'.

a very intelligent post

they will ensure buhari fail by the usual praise singing tactics and when they are done with him, they will install one of their own who will guarantee their safety


GEJ was installed by obasanjo and ACN Tinubu, to shield themselves CPC from Buhari; Tinuba and APC AND Obasanjo installs an APC Buhari to sheid themselves from buhari while also enjoying passes to the Villa

Ploitivians are way smarter than the people and thats why they always win

jaymichael:
You are so dumb, you don't even realize it.

Oooop must have touched a raw nerve

Like many others your just a young lad thinking everybody on nairaland is your classmate

Inioluwa01:
It is very obvious these PDP senators are only out to cause the house and the present administration unnecessary troubles. How on earth is the 5k campaign promise for unemployed youths now the most pressing issue to thrash out with the govt? The govt keeps lamenting about how the past administration, spearheaded by his majesty, the 'DADDY OF DEMONCRAZY', looted and emptied the treasury thereby leading to serious economic instabilities and the next thing is 5k for unemployed youths Smh

Keep shaking your head......

For your infomation a promise is a debt.

You just don't make electoral promises to get into power and give excuses when you get there.....

No emplyer will retain a staff who claims he has so and so skills and sfter getting the job starts giving excuses......


If Buhari is not held to his words it means that electoral promises is just rubbish so on what premise shall judge aspirants in future

We need politicians who will only promise what they can do and not desparate power hungry wolves who lie just to satiate their power ambition


Whatever happens to integirty

For sure Saraki's days as Senate President are numbers, not even PDP senators can help him since he hasn't done their bid with Amaechi

No matter how he licks bubu's behind oor washes Aisha's clothes he is dead meat

However the APC burden will be if Saeaki will jailed accordingly to the criminl case he will be convicted in or will he just be slapped on the wrist and sent back to the floor of the senate alone?

The outcome will tell us how real buhari's anti-corruption move is all about

A campaign believed by educated fools
