Enugu State is a shining example of a dynamic and progressive state.

The level of development and level of security in that state remain phenomenal.

And in terms of administering a state without any room for corruption I rate the state very high based on information available to me.

As regards being the best state no one can make such a statement unless the person has enough information from other states and even at that would use parameters that are common for the comparison to be fair.

@Afam

I don't know why Nigerians encourage bad things in this country yet they want the country to be good. Propaganda, police brutality, Tribalism, summary executions, religious fanatism and every other form of madness.
And to make matters worse a lot of us claim to be very religious and yet hatred, lies and all the negativities out there continue to increase.

There is no honesty and there is no love even between people from the same womb let alone tribe or region.

As for propaganda and misinformation what some of us do not realize is that propaganda may lead to more loss of lives than actual events like one off riots and robbery attacks because the mind is usually corrupted and hatred begets hatred.

I play ball in an environment where over 80% of the players are Muslims and yet sometimes I am asked to lead the prayer and surprisingly most of them join in sharing the Grace and even saying the Lord's prayer. However, when any Muslim is leading the prayer I don't understand because it is based on Arabic language not Yoruba that I can understand.

My point is that for people to coexist peacefully there must be mutual respect and sincerity in discussions whether for or against an issue. I engage in healthy debates with Muslims on religious issues and with people of other tribes on tribal issues and yet tempers don't get out of control and majority of the time you see people agree on issues without any form of sentiments and bias.

Let those who spread hate continue because one day the hate will consume them - guaranteed!

Afam, You see your self, am sure you never make mistake despite have posted that I don't mean it with battery because a good deep cycle battery cost around 50K but let me tell you categorically that your locally built Inverters are from my experience not good on a long term for the deep cycle battery, this which you know but will not say the truth. Locally made Inverters are durable to be sincere but you guys have not been able to get the charging control which on a long run spoil the battery. I don't need to drag issue with you. Just be sincere.
I have never used a generator in my office for over 5 years now and I use our locally built inverter.

On the charging algorithm it is pretty obvious you are generalizing.

As usual, I will not do the hard work for you. Read the following piece that was written in December 2007 -
http://justalternativepower.com/article_detail.php?id=6 - Inverter backup - Battery charger, the weakest link

Ironically, over 90% of imported inverters come with very poor charging algorithms as they are cheaper to build especially when they are mass produced based on some design assumptions made in their labs and production facilities.

Now, for the records I am done with you on this thread as it is obvious you are pushing for more enlightenment on the same things you previously asked me to educate you on in your chat session.

Bye bye as far as this thread is concerned.

Thanks for agreeing you made a mistake that I pointed out, the only thing is that you have made more and have refused to acknowledge them.

As long as prospective buyers are presented with factual information I am 100% satisfied.

Hello Afam, you are left to your opinion but what I want to tell you in the mediocrity of your so called knowledge is that "he that think he knows more than others is a pretty fool". I have discover that you feels that you know everything in this business but have discover that you know just little/nothing. Am sure of the price I quoted and so sure the guaranteed service that my company give. If you want to know more you can consult me because I don't only know this business, I also know the science behind Inverter system. So am not bother about your so called fault finding habit which is a result of you feeling that you are inferior to others. So I advice you go learn more, Mr consultant.
I don't think I know more than others but I am pretty sure I know more than you on the inverter issue based on the wrong information you tried to sell but did a u-turn when I corrected you and based on the information you asked me to provide for you when you contacted me in private via chat which I told you was available on the website.

I don't owe you or anyone any apologies for what I know. I am basically more interested in educating the potential clients and customers about inverter based backup systems so as to help clean up the system and rid the industry of cow boys like you that will claim to provide a 5KVA inverter with battery at N185,000.00.

This is pure fraud and you know it. What happens when someone pays you N185,000.00 for a 5KVA inverter and the accompanying battery (according to you)?

For your information we cannot even handle the number of requests for inverters that we build locally even when they are usually more expensive than most imported inverters of similar capacities. For example, our 5KVA 48VDC inverter goes for N220,000.00 (manual) while the automatic version goes for N260,000.00 without the batteries and people who may have been burnt by service providers and people that are constantly being referred by their friends and colleagues are buying them.

So, I don't for any reason play the competition game. I am only interested in making it difficult for bad services providers who will advertise 5KVA inverter with battery for N185,000.00 when a 5KVA inverter would require at the minimum 4 nos batteries and based on typical configurations of 12V 200AH deep cycle batteries at over N50,000.00 each the cost of batteries alone is over N200,000.00.

Take your game elsewhere my friend. Make statements based on facts and not copying and pasting content from websites.

Afam:
A good deep cycle battery (12V 200Ah) hovers around N50,000.00 and above so what is the cost and/or configuration of the battery included in these prices?

1KVA Inverter #50K with battery, - (1 battery)
1.5KVA Inverter #65K with battery - (1 or 2 batteries)
2KVA Inverter #80K with battery - (2 batteries)
3.5KVA Inverter #120K with battery - (4 batteries)
5KVA Inverter #185K with battery. - (4 batteries)
So, as I stated in the private chat you initiated I will not spend my time educating you on what you don't know.

Make no mistake about it, I simply responded to this thread (as I do on other inverter related threads) to point out the wrong information people like you are spreading that usually lead to failed projects here and there based on little or no knowledge about inverter backup applications.

all federal government money recovered can not be accounted for. all federal government properties were sold at a ridiculous price to friends and family. ribadu declared his assets when he got the position but after word got out that he was maintaining few properties that weren't on the original asset declaration form, he got scared and refused to declare his assets when he was leaving.
The current EFCC chair I believe has enough manpower and resources to trace anything. If Ribadu declared his assets when he came in then that is good and if he has not been able to declare his assets when he finished I will not even hold that against him considering the fact that his life was in danger, he was threatened by some highly connected politicians and was almost assassinated here in Nigeria.

If the only crime he has committed in Nigeria is not declaring his assets when he left then he has no case to answer considering the facts on ground.

What are we doing with corrupt Nigerians that declare their assets anytime you ask them to while stealing public funds and swearing with the bible or quran only to loot public treasury?

obasojo failure, buhari failure, ibb failure, shagari failure, gowon failure, shonekan failure, abubakar failure, ribadu failure, waziri failure, iwu failure, soludo failure.
afam: do you get the gist?
i have nothing to do with any politician in nigeria, i'm only here to make it clear that nigeria will remain dusty if we (new school) continue to justify the failure of our failed leaders. no need to redefine failure, failure is simply failure.
and i see no reason to disrespect each other. please grow up and let us stay on the topic like adults.
Better, at least with your own hands you have typed that IBB failed so lets get back to the topic.

Writing articles and news stories that sing the praises of Ribadu is one thing (I don't do that) and responding to articles and news stories that tend to claim that he did not achieve anything is yet another (na here you go see my posts) because based on the circumstances he found himself in he contributed positively to the anti corruption crusade and this is a fact.

Ok, why is he wanted by those he prosecuted? Where those guys innocent? In the past when you hear that EFCC is interested in a case the people involved get scared because EFCC commanded respect based on successful prosecution and trials of some corrupt officials.

Today, corruption is everywhere and getting worse, people engage in all forms of deals and 419 without any fear at all. This is not what we want and this is not what Nigeria need right.

Let us for the sake of argument agree that Ribadu was only interested in OBJ's enemies why is it that the EFCC under a new leadership has not been able to instill fear, prosecute, investigate corrupt Nigerians especially those that are OBJ's friends (since according to some logic they escaped investigation because they were OBJ's friends when Ridabu was in charge)?

Corruption is the same regardless of the tribe of the person doing it. The effects of corruption are felt by Nigerians irrespective of tribe. Poverty does not ask for your tribe before it embraces you, armed robbers do not ask for ID cards before robbing you.

Let us forget these politicians and focus on making this country better because we have chosen to settle here and regardless of choices we make today or policies we choose to support the full consequences of our actions or inactions would be borne by us and us alone.

it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, ribadu is the main reason why noone has any respect for this organization today.

Sorry, you cannot think for people, adults are able to think through issues and make up their minds based on the facts on ground not based on what you would rather have them believe.

Ribadu sure made mistakes but till tomorrow he has the record in this country of fighting corruption and actually prosecuting corrupt Nigerians. Until you beat that record or look for someone that can do it Ribadu will remain a valuable and respected Nigeria as far as fighting corruption is concerned and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Nigerians want things to work but not according to your own script.

Why is the current Chairman of EFCC not doing all these things you accuse Ribadu of not doing? Are you waiting for Ribadu to come back to finish them?

The more you try to rubbish him the more Nigerians begin to see through your vengeance and insincerity in your comments concerning Ribadu.

Ribadu was OBJ’s political weapon - Waziri
Kolawole Daniel, Abuja - 28.07.2009

THE Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mrs. Farida Waziri, on Monday, disclosed that evidence available showed that the commission, under its former chairman, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, was used as political weapon against perceived enemies of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

She spoke in Abuja while receiving the National Conference of Black Mayors (NCBM) from the United States of America.

Ribadu is currently living in the United States and was wanted in Nigeria for trial over alleged failure to declare assets while in office.

Waziri said the commission, under her leadership, would break the link between tax evasion, money laundering and terrorist financing, adding that the commission had put up preventive mechanism for economic crimes.

According to her, EFCC under Mallam Ribadu was characterised by weak administrative structures, absence of career path for officers, haphazard administration and investigation, non-compliance with the rule of law as well as human rights abuses and political interference.

“It is necessary to admit that in its formative years, the criticisms that had trailed the commission have been that that it is political tool of the presidency and is arbitrary and selective in its investigations,” she said.
Assuming the newspaper report is correct did Ribadu prosecute any innocent Nigerian? This is the core issue because all the corrupt officials and looters of public treasury must either by OBJ's friends, enemies (real or perceived) or inconsequential for anyone to take notice.

Any other accusation or allegation against Ribadu?

If yes, let's have it.

If no, then Madam Chairman get to work and do the job you were given because as things stand today Ridabu's record remains 100% better than what EFCC is doing today and that is what Nigerians are interested in.

b4 i proceed, letz take a look at what I wrote on this template thingy about a year ago:
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-149270.0.html

Dis template stuff don tire me.  It is basically a product of "aburo yemi" mentality where, just because yemi woke up one morning to say templates are bad, automatically, everybody born after yemi is made to feel that using templates is a bad thing.  Do we realize that this very forum is a template of an original smf?  The computer we will use to browse this site, do we realize that it is based on a template developed years ago?  If you pretty much design/develop the same kinds of websites like I do, do you realize that except for the interface, the underlying code is the same? What about you as a human being? I bet you didn't know that you are based on, yes, a template (we have unique features, yes, but by and large, we all share similar characteristics).
I have maintained this position since the issue of templates starting coming up on this forum. The problem is people don't want to invest time to learn anything and whatever they hear people saying they agree once that thing makes them look good or makes them sound knowledgeable.

CNN, Google, Yahoo, this forum, some of my websites, in fact any successful website around in the world is built based on a template.

Whether you buy or you build one from scratch as I always do the end product is the same in terms of ease of addition, updates etc, the only thing that will differ is the design, feel, functionality, usefulness of the website.

Maybe some of us need to take a break once in a while to read up on things we are not too clear about instead of believing anything that catches our fancy.
PoliticsRe: Yorubas Strategically Keep Distance From North/East Issue Because Of This. . . by Afam(m): 10:11am On Jul 27, 2009
larez:
Here is my opinion so far as I now immerse myself into learning about the History of Nigeria:

The current climate of Nigeria is clearly affected by traditions of the various cultures. It awakens curiosity to note the historical social structures and ways of life, and reflect them in the current trends of thoughts from the various regions. I can see some uncanny resemblance in the general attitudes of the political stooges in Nigeria. It is obvious that each school of thoughts can be reflected in their historical social structures. This may be the main reasons for the conflict in governing Nigeria.

I will subsequently advise that we all begin to analyze these facts as a prelude to better understanding of each other rather than point fingers. Fact still remains that we are all somewhat intertwined through marriages and common relationships. It will indeed be a travesty if we cannot find ways to better live together. Let's leave all our bias aside and discover each other. We can use this medium as a forum for discussing these discoveries and taking it to an intellectual level. A result could be a powerhouse of advise to our current leadership. See? It might just be much more simple than what we are making of it.
The above coming from someone that has thrown unwarranted attacks and insults based on what I may call misunderstanding or lack of understanding of the issues or the positions of the parties involved in the issues being discussed is pure nonsense. When did the poster realize that throwing the insults around is wrong.

Carry on, expose your ignorance. I have defended lies being told about Igbo people here and all this guy who probably thinks that he has a good understanding of the issue can do is rain misguided insults.

By the way, what the West thinks about Nigeria or any part of Nigeria means little to me because any intelligent mind would understand that majority of the time the West presents a picture to suit its interests.

Negro_Ntns:
The general Igbo people jubilated the outcome of the Jan 66 coup and were content to ride joyfully as the new elite of the country without censoring the wanton act of barbarism exhibited by a few Igbo military men.  

You can not lavish on the rewards and then distance from the review.  You own both.  So I cant understand what is false about that or how you can call that hatred.
What do you mean by general Igbo and how did you know that they were content to ride joyfully? Do we have recorded or well documented history on how the Igbos took the coup? Did Igbos living in the Northern part of Nigeria celebrate on the streets or hold rallies there considering the political climate in the North? Did this also happen in the South West or even in the East?

Look, this is not about what you think or what catches your fancy, it is about what actually happened because we are talking about serious issues here that led to wastage of lives of innocent people.

Negro_Ntns:
Look, patriotic citizens are loyal to their nations and their people. Patriotism does not happen on account of who the other nations are or are not.  Your patriotism is defined by your own belief in who your nation and your people are as a member of the human universe.  You detest truth.  What I have accounted for so far are the events as they happened.  As we speak right now. . .there are Igbo people on internet agitating for a repeat of the 60s to break Biafra out of Nigeria. How prudent is that?  But yet you fail to look inward and see your own folks as the haters and the barriers to your progress in Nigeria. . .but you blame everyone else.  Like I said, patriotism happens because you recognize and accept who you are relative to what others are. If you do not define yourself. . .and make a good job doing so, you will be left vulnerable for others to define you and their definition of you will not be pleasant.
Again, you miss the point completely, for starters I don't believe in the Biafra some of my people are talking about today because there are states in the then South East today that have not declared that they want to be part of the new Biafra as regards boundaries. There are elected (or selected) representatives from the South East in the present democratic process so there are a lot of technical issues many of the proponents are avoiding or not discussing.

So, telling me that there are some Igbo people talking about Biafra does not mean that that is what the Igbos want. I hope you see the same flawed logic coming to the fore here. You cannot judge or condemn a people based on the actions of a few. This should be pretty obvious and clear.

Yorubas' superiority to Igbos is not by accident; it's with an overwhelming corollary!

Just to let you know that 92% of progress made in Lagos is by Yoruba efforts. Yorubas say, if you want to christen your child, you have got to look your backyard or better still, if you want to cut clothes for somebody, you got to look at yourself. That means, you can leave your east undeveloped and want to take care someone else business. We built Lagos by ourselves.
This is the problem with some people, focusing on tribal supremacy. In case you missed it that is not what this thread is about so you may take the copy and paste posts elsewhere.

This thread is about information ranging from facts, lies, half truths, misinformation and conspiracy theories being told about the Igbos by someone and his supporters. Most of the replies have come to correct the lies, to ask questions, seek clarifications or provide counter arguments.

If you cannot stick to the issue please leave and don't derail the thread that has already suffered from a lot of diversions unless this is part of the plan to avoid the issues being raised.

Intellectuals do not open their questions and challenges with vulgarity on the opponent.  I don't know about where you come from. . .but Yoruba culture teaches me to seek understanding through clarity, not confrontation.  There is a time and place for understanding and there is a separate time and place for aggression. . .intellectual discussion is not for aggression.  Approach intellectually and you will get an intellctual response. . .otherwise I push my ignore button on you.
@Negro_Ntns,

I am afraid you are lying on this and you know it. You rain abuses on the Igbos and turn around to talk about vulgarity? For the records I have not used any vulgar words towards you but do you honestly think you have a right to complain if I used them considering what you have put down here on this thread?

It is not for you to define what confrontation is when asked to defend a position or respond to counter arguments. In spite of your hate filled posts and very bad remarks on a people (Igbos) based on the actions of a few military men I have chosen to ask you to clarify issues that you have dodged.

However, if you want me to praise you or kneel down before you see my posts as requests to defend your position I will never do that. As a matter of fact I am being extremely nice to address you the way I do because based on the hate filled comments towards my people you don't deserve any respect and no apologies for that. I have only refrained from introducing harsh words so that you will not use that as excuses to avoid compelling counter arguments that have trashed some of your statements.

So, feel free to push the ignore button on me. As they say - If you want to shoot, shoot don't talk.

Just respond to the issues raised and stop playing to the gallery here.

I will not defend any bad action of any Igbo man but will always defend the Igbos as a tribe and ethnic group when people like you attempt to sow and spread hate based on half truths, lies and misinformation especially when a people is being insulted based on the actions of a few. Only intellectually challenged people would effortlessly condemn a people based on actions of some.

I cannot hate a tribe because of what some people from that tribe do otherwise I would not be any better than a pig that does not know the difference between individual and collective punishment. This is the crux of the matter as far as I am concerned.

So, Negro_Ntns if you want people to address you the way you deem fit then common sense is enough to make it clear to you that insulting a tribe is 100% wrong because not every member of that tribe is guilty of whatever you have against the tribe.

In my life, I don't believe in sentiments let alone ethnic, tribal or religious ones.
