How many sponsored megaphones does Yahaya Bello have on NL?
Or is the same mouthpiece posting under different monikers? Just asking for a friend

Mr. Christopher shared his story of how he set a test for all his intended girlfriends using his best friend.

Sorry, but ”Mr. Christopher” sounds like a PATHETIC LOSER (in addition to being a PRIMITIVE MISOGYNIST)…SMH

my brother rent house give igbo man, the igbo man go and print papers and said my brother sold the house for him, i have hearing terrible news about igbos but i do not believe but that very day incident convince me.

Please quit using childish and obtuse anecdotes to justify your CRUDE PRIMITIVE AND TRIBALISTIC BIGOTRY…
That’s like attributing the actions of Omo Onile fraudsters who sell the same land to multiple people to all Yoruba people!

Abbeytoy:
I dislike how people are tagging this as anti-Igbo. It will affect all none Lagocians. Whether you're Yoruba, Awusa, Igbo or Fulanani, it's the same law that will bind all.

So why are some set of people believing they're the target?

It does not make it any less BACKWARD…
Nonetheless, why are you bothered even if it’s only one out of many targets that choose to assert their RIGHTS as NIGERIANS?!

Jogs1900:
Fact..Reno has been objective nowadays.
..Why only Lagos? Kano did the same by banning alcohol to protect their indigenous beliefs... Nobody kicked against it.
If you are not pleased with Lagos, you are free to relocate and nobody will miss you.
Lagos House of Assembly has the right to protect the indigenes of Lagos.

Godfullsam:
They won't kick against it when Kano state ban alcohol and public sale of beer because Kano people knows how to handle them wella.

If Kano banned alcohol consumption, it would be for ALL persons in Kano (not just non-indigenes)…SMH

Is it Lagos state government that is collecting Delta oil money?

What did you think built Eko Bridge, Third Mainland Bridge, Tin Can Island Port, Murtala Muhammed Airport, Apapa-Oworonsoki Expressway, Badagry Expressway, National Theatre, National Stadium, Festac Town, etc., etc.?! MC Oluomo’s Agbero “taxes”?!

Nvestor02:
Even in Europe and America. The government regularize how Arab, Russians and Chinese can own property there.

Igbo claimed they are the ones that are developing us and we said that don't develop us again. all of a sudden they are crying.

They should go back to their war torn region that is full of pain and agony; we are tired of their criminal lifestyle here.

Jogs1900:
I even read somewhere.that Canada has stopped selling lands to the Chinese.
Kudos to Obasa for this.

You mean the same America where you are automatically a citizen if you were born there?
The same America you become can easily become a citizen after a few years of living there?
Or same America some of you were celebrating this morning that a Yoruba Nigerian became first black mayor in Colorado?!

Do you even know the meaning of CITIZENSHIP of the SAME nation? If “Europe (which I hope you realize is not a country) and America” purportedly “regularize” (whatever that means) how “Arab(sic), Russians and Chinese” can own property there, it would be in respect of Arabs, Russians and Chinese who are NON-citizens, and definitely NOT against CITIZENS regardless of whether those CITIZENS are of Arabic, Russian, Chinese, nor indeed any other national origin or ancestry!

While most of the advanced world are celebrating DIVERSITY, and are busy trying to attract as much talent from as they can from wherever they can, so many Nigerians are SLIDING BACKWARDS INTO THE DARK AGES RETREATING INTO PRIMORDIAL ETHNIC ENCLAVES (mental, social and physical), and then they wonder why Nigeria continues to degenerate from the Third World S/hole most folks agree that it already is - and thereafter IRONICALLY “japa” off to other people’s homelands!

Note: These two are the pilot phase, there are plans to put 1,200 of these buses to use and also develop an assembly line for their production.

This will also work well in this era of subsidy removal

Personally, I will advise the Lagos State Government to look towards Solar systems for the charging of these buses. It will increase the whole point

The wife of the President is DESIGNATED as the first lady, it is NOT an office nor position to “assume”. SMH

Most scammers fail at one of the most important rules of what they do-staying low profile.

Hushpuppi attracted the FBI's attention when he decided it was time to hit on black chyna

Invictus Obi attracted the FBI also when he desperately pushed to feature in forbes 30 under 30.

Dozy aka Tingo scam attracted attention when he toyed around with the purchase of Sheffield FC.

Bn a scammer and hugging the spotlight dont go hand in gloves except if you succeed in acquiring political powers

Incorrect. Law enforcement got involved following a complaint lodged by a defrauded company Unatrac Holding Limited…

Bro I have a friend that works there. They have not started receiving any crude the test of the FCC unit failed. Stop lying to people in this forum abeg.

Dude, my ego is not fragile to start churlishly trying to “win” Internet arguments or trying to “prove” myself to anonymous folks on a discussion forum, but suffice it to state that my knowledge does not rely on “a friend that works there”!

Test-runs for several part of the refinery began late last year and test-runs of the Crude Distillation Unit began in or about March of this year. Refined petrol from the plant should be hitting the market by Q3 (probably no later than this August).

Like the other dude said above…
LET’S JUST WAIT AND SEE (and then we can revisit this discourse)!! SMH

obyno82:
You are a very insincere person. BUA and Lafarge cannot compete because he has muscled them to sell at high prices. So they are content with the current margins they are making even with the small market share. Look no amount of whitewashing can change the fact that these guys are liars

LaFarge is the World’s BIGGEST producer of cement…
The notion that it is too poor to compete in Nigeria is LAUGHABLE!
>

BOUNTYDOG:
This happened years ago,if u can remember when cement was sold for 1k plus they left the market for him, they are just coming back unlike before he slashed the price

Even now go to random cement dealers and say u want lafarge
Most of dem dont have it but Dangote

They are most definitely NOT “just coming back”…

LaFarge (then known as Blue Circle) has CONTINUOUSLY been in Nigerian market since the 1950s/60s, before even most of our parents were born. In addition, virtually ALL of the world’s biggest cement producers including Heidelberg, Holcim (which is now part of LafargeHolcim), Scancem, and the old LaFarge (before it merged with Blue Circle UK) have all been prominent players in the Nigerian cement market - and yet it was not until the likes of Dangote (and BUA) entered the market that Nigeria turned around from reportedly the world’s SECOND LARGEST IMPORTER of cement (only behind the USA) to an exporter of cement! In fact, it wasn’t until after Dangote built the Obajana cement plant (the largest cement plant in Africa) did LaFarge found it necessary to rehabilitate and upgrade its then toxic-spewing old plants in Sagamu and Ewekoro for the first time since the 1960s or 70s (not least because they had long been importing cement from their overseas plants and merely bagging same at their Nigerian plants).

What the likes of Dangote Cement (and BUA) has done for Nigeria cannot be quantified or reduced to ephemeral stuff such as “1K plus”. Apart from literally saving Nigeria billions of dollars and earning millions in forex, by turning Nigeria from the world’s second largest importer of cement to an exporter, they have CREATED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF JOBS IN NIGERIA FOR NIGERIANS (direct, and even moreso, indirect) along the entire production value chain - all this in a nation where folks actually import toothpicks.

Yoighaman:
I really don't understand your post.

I strongly believe he wouldn't have made it this big if he was born and bred in the Nigeria of today....

While there is a monetary ‘premium’ in England for English footballers
MANY people born and bred in Nigeria have made it bigger, and many born in the UK have not. That’s life!
>

BOUNTYDOG:
He may have a point
When lafarge BUA et al were competing with him
He slashed the price of cement down to 1k sometin,the competitors wonders how Damgote makes his profit as dey were selling at loss
So dey had to leave the market for him, after they left je hijacked the price back

Dangote is just a business man working for Nigeriàn govt
They invest for him and make sure every decision favors him

So BUA and LaFarge are now out of the cement business?

Because the last I checked…
BUA has a profitable multi-billion cement business while LaFarge is the world’s largest cement producer.

blowjohn:
Which licences did they give out?
Or u think it's only dangote that has money?

By the way, u think he uses his money to build his business?

Don't u know banks are the ones that fund his projects?


As urself are there no mega billionaires in Nigeria that can get loans frm banks to build refineries?

U think even peter obi cannot build one?
Or atiku?
Or some state governors?

Why is it only Dangote? Ask urself that question first.

At least 28 licenses for private refineries were (or have been) granted going back to the OBJ administration…
This includes BUA, Orient, Waltersmith, etc. And is apart from the promised “4 Greenfield Refineries” by NNPC.

Dangote is not the only Nigerian with money…
But remains one of the few who invests in MANUFACTURING (in infrastructure-poor Nigeria), rather than trading.

All of the world’s biggest corporations/businesses take loans (or other debt capital)…
Nonetheless, loans are not given out for free, and with this refinery Dangote Group provided HALF of the funding.

Peculiar thing about Nigeria is the penchant to denigrate success (while often celebrating failures)…
If Dangote was a trader investing only in his own village or state (instead of across Nigeria/Africa), he’ll be venerated.
>

blowjohn:
Why can't they grant licences to people to produce and sell?

They are/were at least 28 licenses granted for private refineries BEFORE Dangote Group was granted a license…

tsdarkside:
buildin refineries is not a small thing oo....

richidinho:
Dangote refinery will start work in 2025

Forget the lies they are telling you, that refinery is still @ 65% completion

onatisi:
the way it was hurriedly commissioned shows that buhari just wanted to do it while he was still in office, it is obvious the refinery isn't ready yet for full operation.

ABSOLUTELY FALSE!

The refinery began test-running earlier in the year…
It started receiving crude last month (May), and should discharge products in Q3
>

Harddiskng:
I mentioned this before years ago in my previous comments, Dangote is bad for Nigeria.

Any industry Dangote enters sees prices spiraling out of control for the consumer. That’s its M.O.

Y’all haven’t seen anything yet, let that refinery go into full swing first.

There’s NO law against anyone else building a refinery…
In fact, about 28 licenses for private refineries have been granted since 2000.

Accordingly, even you are free to build a refinery and GIVE AWAY the products!
>

msquarewld:
What baffles me most in Nigeria is that a lot of us are too sentimental to actually reason well. If not, how we do not see that our refineries are not working because of this organized crime call subsidy.
The fact remains that, if different aspects of our economy is to develop, going forward this is a step in the right direction.
Believe me, with subsidy gone, watch and see our refineries working in no time.

There are thousands of NLC members “working” at those refineries…

But we can’t wait for the FG to endlessly “rehabilitate” its 3 refineries.

Buhari is not a Saint, but is far more credible, honest and incorruptible than your average politician.

Commendable

The truth is that Buhari is not a greedy human like the other corrupt politicians we have in Nigeria.

No, he ain’t…
Corruption comes in many forms, and Buhari was STEEPED in it.

Caseless:
You can do this to Buhari and he won't mind. Don't do it to a Yoruba man. They'll use their media strength to rubbish you.

Ever wondered why most presidents have Yoruba men as spoxx? Dem get mouth and they can "drag" you.

So much CRUDE AND PRIMITIVE TRIBALISTIC BIGOTRY exists in Nigeria…smh

Steverolly:
I've noticed the way I lose interest in girls that have lots of male friends, like it's a red flag for me.
I don't know if it's insecurity or whatever but I'm very good looking, in fact I don't even approach girls, they approach me. I've also met a lot of great girls but once I notice they have a lot male friends or they Relate so much with guys I just lose interest.
Is this normal or it's just me?

Big question: Would he had gotten the opportunity to rise to this level and given such a huge responsibility as a footballer if he had been in Nigeria? I strongly doubt it. Another good excuse for the japa crew, "I am doing it for my children".

You mean would he have gotten the opportunity to make the same kind of MONEY…
Dude, you can ask the same question with Americans, Australians, Belgians, Dutch, Brazilians, etc.
