What does this dude do again? Head of agbero at Ojuelegba

I was looking to see some hard facts/statistics of Naija jailed in India for drug related offences and number of "Igbos" involved, but nothing is available. Another blatant generalisation!

Caracta: I don't understand. Is it that they cannot read or they just can't understand simple words. It wasn't stated that she date the guy or that the deceased was the same girl the suspect's brother was referring to.

Abeg help me out, where did Nairalanders get their own version of story? Share the link pls. Majority can't be dumb all at once.

because Naija loves conspiracy theories. From us blaming devil when caught in our well thought out and executed silly actions. From Zik and Awo being wiser and stronger than " mermaids"; from India beating Naija 100 -0 in a football match that never occurred; from a pastor driving on empty fuel tank from Onitsha to Lagos; from killer GSM numbers; from a pastor curing someone of HIV-AIDS without a prior medical record. Truth be told: Naija is allergic to facts and its application in solving common problems

midpoint: Interesting. you mean for over a year the money has increased with only 4k?

That's a 16% ROI!

kingoflag: Point to a lie I told, and tell me how it's different from Mr.Mbeki's assertion and observation that when a corrupt person is discovered his kin rise to his defense.

Like I said: it's an indisputable fact that Igbos support this govt in their majority. It is also an indisputable fact that this govt is totally corrupt. It might be the turn of the Northerners or Westerners to carry this inglorious torch tomorrow...that's not the crux of the matter at hand right now. Lets deal with RIGHT NOW.

Now show me where I was wrong, emotional man.

Quit tribalising this issue. Naija as a country is a cesspool of decay and corruption irrespective of tribe, state of origin, and region.

kingoflag: Just like I never fail to mention the North or the Yorubas...but u don't see them crying at my statements.

It's a Fxucking Naija problem! Keep living in ur small mind of denial. Thabo Mbeki was referring to all Nigerians. He has dealt with Nigerians from all tribal and regional affiliations

Naija is irredeemable! Collective apathy and laziness to stand up for what is right. I was at Shoprite and the checkout line was long, joined the queue and was the next to be attended to, a stranger, jumped the line and said he was right behind me and had stepped out a foot to get some candy bars. I insisted that the man was not in line and folks behind me knew it, but none of them challenged him. As a matter of fact, 2 guys rose in his defense and started saying that I was being hard and petty like a " woman". Folks I was looking out for, threw me under the bus

Black Hitler gone mad again.

Congrats Enyema!your work ethics are super amazing

oche_ejemb: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_passport

You don't get it.Country we copy our administrative terminology and policies from the UK calls it their national passport..ie UK passport. it's just Naija mentality of everything foreign or international is better.

Nigerian passport or International passport? What makes it international if the holder, is Nigerian and has never used it to travel? I hear of UK passport, RSA passport, US passport but in Naija it's international passport

take dat: Is Amaechi a member of the Jang led NGF? Is Jang elected to govern Nigeria. Each State is a stake holder, Plateau cannot decide for Lagos or Rivers likewise Rivers cannot decide for Plateau. The ECA is not a FG account, it is a Federation Account. The President cannot unilaterally make decisions to deduct from the ECA to augment the shortfall in revenue simply because he is incapable of curbing crude oil theft. The problem is that there is no synergy, and you can't lay the blame solely at the feet of Amaechi, the President himself is guilty.

If you guys want to attack Amaechi, I am less concerned but he raised genuine questions!

Let him sue the FG. Tinubu did it against OBJ: governors sued FG and ND during onshore and offshore dichotomy.

Symphony007: if you were more attentive you would have heard of the wide ranging interview that he conducted on rythm: 93.7 where he accounted for every penny.

An hour interview to account for over $20bn? This is what Amaechi has amassed as a governor of Rivers!

Dis Guy: doesn't work like that in naija unfortunately, thats why most argument/debate end up looking like beer parlour discussions

That's why the list itself is a bit skewed, most info are from 'insiders', think about it even job adverts dont come with salary scales except perhaps for civil servants


Mobil is 11m starting according to 'insiders'

"Insider" Naija way of giving too much power to rumour millers and incompetent folks. An insider to fix a failed JAMB score, an inside to help u talk to JEG, but u have to pay N100milion. A recent incident where an "insider"offered to "help" my friend check 3 of his bags as two without paying for one, but the same "insider" didn't know that my friend as a frequent flyer can check in 3 bags without any charges.

Symphony007: When governor ameachi said his government was ochestrating a response to the minister, i did'nt know it'll be this detailed and gut renching...listening to ameachi on rythm f.m on thursday you'll realise non of his detractors can stand him in a public debate so they hit and run.

He was not a party to $5bn ECA's withdrawal and he went ahead and took his state allocation which was augmented by the $5bn?

Wonder why average IQ in Naija is 59?

Jarus: There are actually 10m in the energy sector. 2 or 3 IOCs pay more than 10m at entry level.

Bsc or PHd job?
Sorry to disgrace, why is Naija argument always " that's not true or I don't believe it" without providing another data/proof? I'd like to read another published ariticle on CEO wages in Naija. In 2013, we should strive to counter facts with facts not I don't believe it or it's a lie argument. I'm dying to read a well published article with different figures covering IOCs and telecoms. Since these are public companies, shouldn't there compensation packages be on public domain?

take dat: and you expect me to take you seriously above the editorial team of Punch when I know your duty is always to defend all that is good and bad in Government? Isn't this how you folks always try to demonize anyone who critic the Government of GEJ? I am sure you do not have basic comprehension problems, go back to re-read the said editorial. Punch editorial is about dubious waivers and the amount Nigeria is losing to that. Are you telling me that the scheme is 100% corruption-proof? The questions NOI should answer instead of this manufactured hogwash are;

Did Nigeria lose N264billion to waivers on petroleum product imports or not?

Did Nigeria lose N603billion to import duty waivers, concessions and import substitution schemes?

Are you telling us that most of the waivers granted were not patronage driven? Are these allegations not of fiscal profligacy? Nigeria is losing money to some economic terrorists in and outside of government, and she is here picking up a fight with Punch without tackling the main issue. Economic Terrorism!

Notice how NOI and her attack dogs "tactfully" ignored all the figures published by Punch. Instead, she resorted to the same long term gains that were sold to us in 2012 during fuel strike. Why is it that NOI and her team are always asking the poor to make sacrifices while politicians and their cronies are allowed to plunder and live in stupendous opulence? Any reaon why capital expenditure is at 28%; recurrent expenditure is at 72%; service vote for presidency is at 90%?
Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do- Goethe.

Booty butt chic: Bullshit!.....all ur sayin is u(a man) work d whole of your life becos of a woman is d most stupid thing..are u buying a woman or lovin a woman dat loves u 4 money....ur on ur own bro

Any idea on Ceo of MTN?

simpleseyi: Your grammar construction says it all.

Grammatical construction or grammar construction Just asking

D_RealGeesam: On point. Op u know ur stuff.
Here is a very interesting piece abt banana island (Yuzedo can confirm this i hope)
Culled from forbes.com

If you never heard about the Island, now you
know. Banana Island is Nigeria’s most extravagant
and expensive neighborhood – on par with the
Seventh Arrondissement in Paris, La Jolla in San
Diego, California and Tokyo’s Shibuya or Roppongi
neighborhoods.
The exclusive playground of Nigeria’s obscenely
wealthy, Banana Island is an artificial island built
on reclaimed land in Ikoyi-Lagos. From an aerial
view, the island is actually shaped like a banana,
hence its name. Sitting on 1.6 million square
meters, the sumptuous island is divided into about
535 plots ranging in size from 1,000 square meters
and 3,000 square meters.
Banana Island is a place of unrivalled opulence
and grandeur. It’s an entirely different world from
other parts of the country. It’s a gated community,
and its inhabitants enjoy such luxuries as
underground electrical systems and water supply
networks, 24 hour-electricity supply (the only other
place such privileged is the Nigerian President’s
residence), extremely tight security, good road
layout, a central sewage system and treatment
plant and the well-cherished company of fellow
wealthy folks.
The island is the most expensive place in Nigeria
and one of the most expensive in Africa to own a
house. Property on Banana Island is dollar-
denominated. The average cost of buying a three
bedroom apartment is $2 million. However, if
you’re just looking to hang around the island for
some time, and not to buy property, you can rent
the same apartment for about $150,000 per
annum. But there’s a clause: you must pay for an
initial minimum term of 2 years – in advance. And
there are no refunds. Ever! Also, the tenant is also
mandated to pay a ‘service charge’ of $17,000 per
annum.
A typical plot of land on the island usually goes for
between $4 million and $6 million, and the
cheapest building on the island costs upward of $8
million. But because of the ridiculous prices of
property on the island, about 60% of the
completed buildings are currently unoccupied.
So, who are the people who occupy the land? The
list includes multinational corporations, well-paid
expatriate employees, corrupt government officials;
their concubines (or mistresses), and wealthy
businessmen such as Alhassan Dantata, Kola
Abiola and Nigeria’s newest billionaire, Mike
Adenuga.

The most expensive I'd say not that it's like Paris or San Diego.. It's delusion of grandeur to make this useless comparison

Enough of this God help Naija nonsense
"Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do"
-Goethe-

Mekusnwa: While not holding any defence for Oduah, you cant compare this level of corruption with that of Oduah. The two are worlds apart.
First, the amount involved in Oduah's case is pocket money compared with the one Lamido and his sons stole.
Secondly, Oduah did not buy the car for her personal use but as operational vehicles in the name of NCAA but Lamido converted 3 billion Naira meant for SURE P into his sons private accounts.
Thirdly, Oduah testified that she approved the purchase but asked them to do the needful, but in Lamido's case there's no pretence to adhere to any due process whatsoever. Simply direct stealing into his Son's accounts. Haba!

No need to explain to the intellectually and mathematically challenged.. It's congenitally built in their DNA not to get it. Good luck explaining to them.

No likely going to happen. Implications of Fashola's demands are that FG's institutions like MMA, Unilag, FAA, NNPC, PPMA, FHA would become LASG properties

peppy luv: Jennifer lopez is 43,her boy friend is 25!!
Madonna is 28yrs older than her boyfrnd!
Mariah is 11yrs older than nick canon
..And d list is endless not forgetting a yoruba actress or designer who is 10yrs older than her bf and tells d world she is in love and doesn't care what pple think!

So u see,no be 2day d old mama youngee love start!
I only pity d young single girls

Quote some Naija examples... How many men in ur family and village are married to older women?

E nice: yeah. One man in Abuja cannot just decide what to do with our money. At least we should have a say. The president can't just dip his hands in the ECA anytime he likes.

Amaechi should ask his attorney general to sue if Rivers is short-changed. Tinubu did it against OBJ. Govs sued FG against onshore offshore dichotomy

Just blank tribe or anything related, how many of us would allow ur younger bros to bring home a girlfriend who is 6 years older let alone for marriage?

His family is mad because she has seen more Xmases and New years than him; more mileage than him. By the time u see them im next 5 yrs, she would look like his mom.
Trust some Naija women, they let their intestinal belts loose and grub like gluttons and get out of shape. Hope she really takes good care of herself.

Babzilla: DID USHER MARRY AN OLD WOMAN?

U be learner? Yes, he did. Ask google next time

Money is indeed a beautiful thing!

Ari_G: lola is not 8 years older than peter but 6 years.. happy married life to them. some of the family wont be happy seeing their brother getting married to an older yoruba woman. they will attribute it to yoruba juju on their son. whateverrrrrrrr!! na the boy no wetin im dey enjoy for the woman puna. older women tastes sweet at times sha.

Take tribe out of this: most families, be it Ijaw, Ibibio, Yoruba, Igbo would not allow their son to marry a woman who is 6 years older. What's she bringing to the table? Is she a celebrity?
