@KDULA
Innoson does not have the capacity to do what you're suggesting. No business thrives without the support of government whether conditional or otherwise. If Innoson can get the kind of support that Dangote and Globacom got from the FG, then they'll be a force to be reckoned with.

wise talk tell me why people like dangote and adenuga will not expand bigger? Jonathan should do the same to IVM well he had commission the company which is a good step,

^^
their governor don use style beg them to be careful

don't worry people this deal will not see the day light una wan bet? already indigenous companies are already getting help from FG now you can buy innosson SUV on higher purchase, any bank will lend you money for any innosson product,

the question is, can bini people handle the strength of ijaw warlords

Following series of attacks by the Ijaws on Binis in various communities, the Binis yesterday gave notice to the Edo State Government that they were prepared to retaliate if the Ijaws refuse to co-exist peacefully on Benin land where they are tenants.

Leading a delegation of Enigies (Dukes) and village heads to Government House yesterday, the Enogie of Obazuwa, Prince Edun Akenzua told Governor Adams Oshiomhole that the Ijaws had in recent times been invading Benin communities where they had unleashed attack on Bini people, maiming them and destroying their property as well as laying claim to their land.

Prince Akenzua, who gave a historical account of various settlers on Biniland said the first Ijaw man named Efeti, who settled in Gelegele about a 100 years ago and that like the Itsekiris and Urhobos among others, the Ijaws, who now lay claim to Benin communities of Agbonmoba, Ozomu, Igbobi, Ekete, Ite, Orogo, Akenzua, Ekehuan, Okomu and Gelegele were tenants in Benin. But stressed his claim with various court judgments including Supreme Court judgment, which confirmed the Ijaws as tenants in Benin.

Prince Akenzua told Governor Oshiomhole that the latest acts of militants and aggression took place on June 3, 2011 when the Ijaws attacked the community and abducted three of their men, who were among those measuring a piece of land donated to the state government for siting a proposed model secondary school.

He explained that but for the timely arrival of policemen at Iko, where the men were taken, the Ijaw militants were ready to set their captives ablaze, even as he said one of the captives , a 58-year- old man collapsed following severe beating from the militants, who were said to have destroyed one car and five motorcycles belonging to the community.

“Your excellency, for nearly 50 years, the Ijaw settlers have perpetrated various forms of provocation against the Binis. We are finding it difficult to restrain ourselves from retaliating these unwarranted attacks,” Prince Akenzua said and warned that, “If their provocative acts and militancy continue, we will have to defend ourselves and our land.” He, therefore, on behalf of the Binis prayed Governor Oshiomhole to call the Ijaw settlers to order and protect the Okao of Gelegele and facilitate the erection of the Okao’s residence, which the Ijaw militants prevented him from erecting.

Prince Akenzua also urged the state government to facilitate the return of natives of Abiala and Ikon’Oke, who the Ijaws had driven from their homeland just as he asked the government to compel the Ijaws to accept that Gelegele was a Biniland and under the jurisdiction of the Oba of Benin.

Responding, Governor Oshiomhole thanked the people of Benin for not reacting in a way that would have led to avoidable bloodbath and pleaded with the chiefs and community leaders to continue in that spirit, promising that government would move in to find solution and ensure that no part of Benin would be ceded away from the Oba’s control.

The governor, who promised that government would treat the matter with all seriousness it deserved said the state and Federal Government would ensure that the relative peace being enjoyed in that part of the country was maintained and sustained, even as he promised to send their letter to President Goodluck Jonathan and to also find it fit to tell them to maintain peace.

“Those who want expansionist ambition should be discouraged. The authority of the Oba of Benin over land and indeed Edo, is unquestionable,” Governor Oshiomhole said, pointing out that there was enough crisis in the country and Edo did not wish to join the league of those in turmoil.



THE SUN

monkey dey work baboon dey chop brain dead monkey what can one say

kasiem:
On a more serious note, is seanet upto 16 years?

i think the boy is just a fool,

udezue:
Lol @ Ak47, hahahah that was shameful. Big ethnic group getting bullied by a minority group whose population is so negligible.

you are right! i advice them not to start something they cant finish is better they accept leave and let leave

seanet02:
Ak47man, dont mistook the non violence nature of Benins for cowardness. That is the usual thinking of you ibos. Anybody that is not violent in nature is a coward. Nonsensical ibo reasoning.

shut up mumu! when the ijaws kidnapped your oba in ondo state why didn't you fight them? bloody baboon couldn't do nothing rather the whole village scatter as if their was a natural disaster

MsDarkSkin:
I actually like this song's beat. . .i cant stop 'whining' to it.

*runs and hides!* 

but seriously, i dont care for the lyrics but the music and the way they rap is catchy.  i told myself i wouldn't listen to it but i did *sighs* and now i gotta download it! .

i can see you are having fun

Nigeria is a useless country. A country where people see other people as settlers when there is supposed to be one constitution that gives fundamental right to every citizen. These Bini people do not know that the Ijaws of Rivers state migrated from their ancestral homes in Edo and even as far as Ondo. It is a shame. Nigeria is simply not a one nation for all. I just hope the Binis do not start a war they can not handle.

rip bro what a fatal accident rip

rip loph and his family should take heart

X-factoria:
I welcome the idea but maybe it should be a 2/3 children per couples thing.

I am sure the Mosques and Churches (the Catholic church especially) will vehement oppose this. Northerners will also oppose it.

Besides, some people are already doing that in Nigeria. Most eductaed folks have been seeing reasons to keep number of children to 4 since the early 80s and currently, 2 to 3 number of children is very popular among families in Lagos (especially couples with mariage less than 25yrs). I have seen a lot in my church and work-place for example.

Nevertheless, t[b]he US and China need not worry much. Boko Haram, avoidable road accidents, cultism, ethnic clashes, religious clashes, pooer health facilities has helped to put our population growth rate as low as possible.[/b]

but u are right thou lack of infrastructure and terrorism will reduce Nigeria population

nawooo me am the seventh child naaah i think is not fair if you can feed ur kids and give them the best from this world why not, breed as much as u can dont no tomorrow who go be the next Obama

WELL LET SEE HOW MR GOVERNOR CAN DO THAT HOPE HE WILL TRY HIS BEST,

‘mark, Bankole Got $30m Monthly Kickback From Nnpc’

Senate President David Mark and former Speaker of the House of Representatives Dimeji Bankole were monthly receiving $30 million each from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) during the late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua’s administration, a leaked confidential US diplomatic cable published by Wikileaks said.


The cable quoted Nigerian former Ambassador to the United Nations Maitama Sule as saying that Yar’Adua turned down approximately $60 million which had been offered to him by the NNPC as the President’s personal “share” of the nation’s monthly oil.


Sule, according to the cable, alleged that the NNPC, right from Obasanjo’s administration, allocated USD 1.00 per barrel of oil sold as a type of personal payment or “kickback” to the President.

“While Yar’Adua ordered his “share” to be deposited into the nation’s treasury, First Lady Tura’i Yar’adua pocketed her husband’s reported share, while Senate President David Mark and House Speaker Dimeji Bankole pocketed USD 0.50/barrel (e.g., $30 million)” the cable quoted Sule as revealing.

“In light of the possibility that Obasanjo could have stolen billions of dollars under this arrangement, Sule told PolOff that Yar’Adua told him that he may use this information, perhaps one day in the near future, to indict Obasanjo for corruption.

“The problem however, according to Sule, rested in the fact that Yar’Adua recognized that if he were to pursue Obasanjo, he may unwittingly subject his wife and close advisers to greater scrutiny, and risk his own political survival”, the cable added. When contacted by Daily Trust to comment on the allegation that he told the American intelligence cable in 2008 that former President Obasanjo had one dollar for every barrel of crude oil produced in Nigeria as kickback, Sule said he “could not remember having said so”.

He said he did not say so “since I know nothing about oil industry because I did not work there and have no business whatsoever with Nigeria’s oil sector”.

Sule, who now holds the traditional title of Danmasanin Kano, added that it is only those in government that could know government secret and how things are being run there.

Reacting to a leaked confidential US diplomatic cable published by Wikileaks, the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division of the NNPC, Dr Levi Ajuonuma told Daily Trust on phone that the allegation was nonsense and ridiculous.

“No Senate President or Speaker has ever received anything as kickback from the Corporation. It is just concocted and baseless”, he added.

Senate President David Mark yesterday denied reports credited to the Wikileaks that he and some other top government officials received the sum of $30m monthly as kickback from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) in 2007.

In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity Kola Ologbondiyan, Mark said he could not believe that Alhaji Maitama Sule, an elder statesman, would have made the statements ascribed to him by the United States of America (USA) former Ambassador, Robin Sanders, as contained in the Wikileaks.

He described the allegation as “malicious, spurious, wicked and mere fabrication of a mind that is fertile in mischief.

“I have no knowledge of any kickback or proceed from the NNPC neither did I, at any time, in concert with the late President Umaru Musa YarAdua; his wife, Turai and the former House of Representatives Speaker, Hon. Dimeji Sabur Bankole, engaged in corrupt practices or receive kickback of $30 million.”

Nigeria need to make sure that any family especially poor families must go for family planing cos i see some women selling onions and pepper at the market but when you look at her corner you will see like 6 kids running around,i always wonder if those kids will be well brought up,cos some children need some serious gaudiness cos of their stubborn nature or the slow ones that need extra lesson in the school how can she afford that not that her baby father or husband is a well to do person that's why some of those kids cos of poverty they can be recruited in terrorism kidnapping rituals and armed robbery

jamace:
Yes, govt should blacklist erring contractors. Failure to carry out contractual agreement is corruption.

If the govt can do this, it will be reducing corruption in an area, and is a step towards the overall anti-corruption war.

you are correct

the problem is that foreigners new this all these while that's why they sponsor military coup in Nigeria to keep people blind with fear,so they can steal as much oil as they can,sometime i don't understand black mentality why always look up to oyibo like a child looking up to his mother 

igbo2011:
^^^^^What did Mortola do while he was alive?

he build an oil pipeline from RIVERS to Kaduna and he is the one that started Abuja master plan in the 70s,

does it make any sense   how much it will cost nigeria to build that pipe line all the way from rivers to kaduna with poor peoples money he was a devil in disguised

Now am suspecting foreign hands i think is connected with the bombing in Nigeria
