londoner:
I'm sure you already aware to be honest, but anyhoo.

As you and I both know, there is a reaction to the percieved neglect of the oil producing communities and the inability of the Nigerian government to ensure oil companies operating in the Niger Delta, mitigate and address the environmental degradation caused by their activities in the region among other complaints.


Even if your view is that the perception on the part of Mend etc was incorrect it, was a complaint the average Nigerian is aware of,  Well before bombings and kidnap became synonamous with the Niger Delta and Mend. We all knew about Ken Saro Wiwa, since then there has been an escalation IMO


Can you now provide me with Boko Haram's equivalent pls?

Maybe they have been mounting a peaceful demand before now, rooted in their own perception of inequality in Nigeria. If they have, then I am not aware.

yes i am aware of what is going on in the ND region but it is not particular to them alone

are you also aware of boko haram has been fighting for equality and and religious freedom

not i support their act in fact i hate them but reason from there point of view as well

when last has a NE president come

MEND stopped because jonathan is the president so boko haram would stop when a NE president comes

tic for tat

grinda:

GenBuhari:
I think this man Lamido is very media savvy, and that his achievements are not very many in reality.

same can be said of fashola, do you agree

RESOURCES IN JIGAWA STATE

Jigawa State is richly endowed with natural resources. The state has vast agricultural land as well as abundant reserves of minerals. A major resource of significance in Jigawa State is the HadejiaNguru Wetlands, which covers an area of approximately 16sq. km. in Jigawa and Yobe states.

The economy of the HadejiaNguru Wetlands which is based on agriculture, grazing and fishing, is a vital element in the productive resource base of both states (Barbier et al, 1991). The floodplain facilitates and supports the productive economy over a far larger area of both states than simply the floodplain. It has also been estimated that the returns from wetland agriculture, fishing and fuel wood is higher here than in the upland farming areas.

Agriculture, Forestry and Other Basic Activities: It is noteworthy that the name Jigawa is a Hausa word used to describe a vast loamy but nonmarshy soil suitable for the cultivation of crops like groundnut, millet, guinea corn, cassava, etc. 70 per cent of the total land area is cultivable with ten per cent constituting grazing reserve, 5 per cent for est reserve and the remaining fifteen per cent are settlements and uncultivable areas.

The state has ninetyseven constituted forest reserves of 600sq. Km., seventeen communal forest area of 20sq. km. in total and one game reserve (Baturiya game cen tury) with 320sq. km. in total. To arrest the menace of desertification in the state, a total of 1,750 km of protective shelter belts were established and 250 km of sand dunes was fixed.

To boost industrial development, the Forestry Department also estab lished 1,350ha. of Acacia nilotica plantations for tannins and 350ha. of gum arabic plantations.For fisheries development on the other hand, the state is blessed with 303 natural/manmade water bodies located at Kazaure, Birnin Kudu and Hadejia.

The state in collaboration with local gov ernment councils started a programme under which all burrow pits would be put into use as fish ponds, the programme will assist about 250,000 fishermen in the affected areas. The programme will also involve the provision of inputs to the fishermen. About 90 percent of the population obtains a living from crop production and animal rearing.

Government plans to boost the production of food and export crops by providing irrigation facilities in the Hadejia valley. To this effect, the state govern ment has commissioned the Water Resource and Engineering Construction Agency (WRECA) of Kano State to dredge the Miga and Kafin Hausa rivers to provide irrigation facilities to Hadejia, Kafin Hausa, MalamMadori, Kaugama and Jahun local government areas (KCCIMA1993).

Already, the Hadejia River Valley has contributed immensely to thp National Afrialoratorl Whoat Pinriiiftinn or Programme. Also, to boost fadama farming, the state government has established Dambo, Abir, Bosuwa, Jemagu and Kuda Gangara irrigation projural ects, which have provided more than 20,000 farms providing families with means of livelihood, and produced ajor enormous amount of vegetables and citrus fruits in the the dry seasons.
Farming in the state is essentially a maledom tes. inated affair. The women are concerned with the iich processing and, to some extent, marketing of agri is a cultural products. Farming is labour intensive with the family forming the nucleus of farm labour. However, hired labour is often involved especially )my during land preparation, planting and harvesting. In the view of the high cost of hired labour, agricultural the activities are frequently carried out late by many fuel families resulting in underutilisation of farmland ling and low agricultural production generally.
One serious threat to agriculture in Jigawa State is the incidence of dry spell and drought. The isic state, as a whole, experiences moisture deficit and is the occurrence of likely drought worsens the situa but lion, resulting in reduced moisture for both agricultural and domestic purposes.

Crop failures occur in . 70 drought years likewise the death of livestock. The ten 1972/73 drought, for example, resulted in the loss for of 60 per cent of the animal population in are Dagacheri, a village in the northern fringes of the has state. 3sq. To combat uncertainties in agricultural production due to the effect of drought, the state govern :en ment has embarked upon the construction of dams and reservoirs to provide irrigation water.

Some of n of these dams include Dambo in Roni LGA and Birnin 250 Kudu dam. Other measures include, the provision .trial of drought resistant crop varieties and the estab tab lishment of grain reserves. Most of such measures for are carried out by the Jigawa State Agricultural and Rural Development Agency (JARDA).
Other occupations of the people include craft ade making and trading. Local crafts abound every and where in the state. These include, blacksmithing, 30V cloth and hat weaving and mat making. Trading in hich various commodities takes place between Jigawa ids, State and other states of the Federation and also Tien between Jigawa State and Niger Republic. The also commodities include various grains, kolanuts, plan tain, bananas, palm produce and cattle.

Minerals: The state is endowed with abundant 'ood deposits of mineral resources. Some of these is in include, and ,Kaolin in Dutse, Gwaram, Kazaure and of Roni Local government areas. iusa ,Tourmaline found in Gwaram local government area. ocal ,Amethyst a semiprecious stone; the occurs in Gwaram local government to be able in Hadejia, Birniwa, Birnin Kudu, Gumel and Garki local government areas.

Industrial Development:

At the moment, there are quite a number of small scale industries scattered all over the state such as leather works, textile manufacture, riceprocessing, bakeries, et cetera. In view of the state's desire for rapid indus trial development, a comprehensive industrialisa tion plan has been proposed for the whole state. Already, Tate and Lyie Sugar Company Limited has established a f41 billion sugar factory at Auyo.

In this connection, the Kaigwai valley has been reacti vated, serving the company as water reservoir. Other industrial projects that have been completed and are fully operational include: Jigawa State Tomato and Citrus Processing Industry with model farm, located at Kazaure processing tomato and citrus fruits into juice, Jigawa State Flour Mills and allied products processing grains into flour and grits in Gumel , Jigawa State Dairy Products and model farm processing milk into yoghurt, cheese and butter at Birnin Kudu.

Other industries that are under way include: Fertiliser Manufacturing Industry, proposed to be at MalamMadori; Meat Processing Industry, pro posed to be located at Maigatari; Sheet Glass Manufacturing Industry to be located at Babura; as well as Tin and Columbite mining in several areas of the state.
In line with industrial development, the Jigawa State Rural Electricity Board has electrified and connected a total number of thirtynine villages and towns to the national grid system since its estab lishment. There are other seven towns and villages whose electrification works are in various stages of connection to the national grid system.

Calculia:
U make tender sweet love to the transformer. He is not Lagosian becos, he is Yoruba. The only way the yorubas can have Lagos is if Nigeria Breaks and dat is wat we want until den u are ranting.

but lagos is owned by nigerians and that does not deny u your right in eko but he is a lagosian even if he came from kogi

lets not derail the thread

Calculia:
^^SHUT UP! Lagos was created as a Federal Territory and dat is why u have people of all ethnic group and state residing there. I am sick of people like u taht are not probably from Lagos State or even born and raised their laying claim to it based on; "I AM YORUBA". It is annoying.  

but he is yoruba and a it means he is a lagosian, if u no like am go hug transformer

Rooneyboy:
hw come, but he's from the north ? ? ? This is really strange.

what do u mean if u don't mind me asking

0lumide:
With rail transport, it is not an impossible thing but SW has to be really focused on development to really achieve such,

I always thought making some parts of Ogun state a well planned suburb to Lagos will be very very good for Lagos,

gbammmmm

i have traveled a lot in nigeria

my own neatest state would go to Jigawa but followed by taraba

BENIN-EDO State House of Assembly has asked the management of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, not to post corps members from the state to serve in the North, especially in Bauchi and Borno States.

The lawmakers argued that the two states were not safe for Edo indigenes to do their national service because of the activities of the Boko Haram sect.

In a motion moved by the Deputy Speaker, Mr. Festus Ebeha, he noted that the NYSC, which was created to ensure national integration had led to the loss of innocent lives.

He, however, said that if the youth corps members must be posted to the two Northern states, there must be an insurance policy to secure their lives.

He also called for maximum security for corps members posted to hot spots in the two states or they should be redeployed to states of their choice for security reasons.

The Edo State legislature urged the National Assembly to support and embrace the call, even as it urged the Federal Government to provide adequate security to the newly-posted corps members and the residents of the state.

WARRI – NO fewer than 50 placard- carrying Ijaw youths from Egbema and Gbaramatu kingdoms in Warri North and Warri South West Local Government Areas of Delta State, carried out a peaceful protest in Warri, yesterday, over the formula adopted by the Chevron Nigeria Limited, in inviting graduates from its host-communities for employment aptitude test.

The protesting youths, led by Mr Innocent Ojusin, told Vanguard, “we are here to stop the aptitude test. It is a ploy by Chevron to continue to oppress us; after the examination, they will say that our people did not pass and cannot be employed.

We sent lists of 150 production operation technician candidates to Chevron after thoroughly screening them, to our dismay, only 23 were shortlisted and 22 out of the 23 were chosen as technical assistants, a lesser positioncompared to their certificate.”

“Chevron is treating us as second class citizens despite our being the highest oil producing area. We sent protest letters to them but they failed to respond,” he added.

agabaI23:
It was his intelligent and rib cracking jokes and cartoons that made him stand out but I sensed that there was more to this individual which I could not place my hands on.

I was not surprised when the Dell competition blew his backside up.

I have spoken with him and all I could hear was passion, belief, vision, hope and excellence. When scurried through what this individual accomplished within a short time, I lost my breath and like Jarus, I felt lazy.

Loma, I can only say well done one more time. Success has many friends so you are my friend
