asha 80:
during 1979 to 1983 was it under pdp?if you think nigeria's problem is pdp then you can also believe that tiger is native to nigeria.

i mean during democratic rule

asha 80:
i laugh when people blame nigeria's problem on pdp.

then who's fault

I think PDP has been ruling for 12 year and they are all civilains, so I expect them to be a bit more sensitive to the people's needs

I have to say that this political party called PDP has successfully destroyed Nigeria. Many talents and indigenous companies have been closed down all because PDP that want to create a one party state based on incompetence and lack of ideas for this Nation, one example that comes to mind is Innoson cars.

I read Iweala and co talking of economic revival and how they would create 110,000 jobs for the youths using a word called "YouWin" which swallowed up 50 Billion Naira. This program is aimed to open up businesses for the youths thus 50 billion was use, right !

Now I would like to share with you avenues of which the FG can use to create Jobs for graduates if they are fair minded. These are ajaokuta steel mines and Innoson cars

This two industries can create more than 300,000 jobs for youth ranging from the banking sector to the actual sites of mining and constructions. Ajaokuta can actually provide the necessary steel needed for Innoson cars but only if the government help the company out.

Also these two companies would increase our IGR instead of the government removing the subsidies

these are just my though, I don't know if i am thinking wrongly here or maybe just short-sighted with my thoughts. And I would like someone that knows more about these things to explain to me more about it.

nolongTing:
@Okija_juju is the type of leader you guys need; he dose not give a toss about what others think he is being HONEST.  Develop yourselves and stop focusing on who likes you!  The Yoruba people have Fashola, but we still criticise him openly, there is nothing wrong with being self critical, no shame at all - it promotes development.

Nobody envies you guys at all, if the west and north envied igbo people then they would try to emulate them by dressing like an Igbo person, speaking Igbo and living in Igbo states.

Most Igbo states are 98% Igbo

Most North and West states have millions of Igbo residents speaking Hausa and Yoruba why?

Why are Igbo people fragmented politically?

Iweala is one of the most intelligent people in Nigeria.  Obasanjo a Yoruba man brought her into Nigeria and paid her a fortune. Why dose she not want to DEVELOP an Igbo state? What a WASTE!

Obasanjo a Yoruba man brought Soludo into Nigerian Politics as the head of the CBN. Why did Igbo people reject Soludo as a Governor of Anambra, can you guys seriously compare Soludo to Peter Obi? What a WASTE!

Most Igbo men choose business over education, they pride themselves on being hardworking and PRACTICAL so why have they not embraced Philip emeagwali? What a WASTE!

Igbo people are the best at business, so why has an Igbo man not made the Forbes list?

Why is there so much kidnapping in the East?

INNOSON is suppose to be the pride and Joy of Igbo people, why are the Igbo people not supporting the company and proudly driving his vehicles around the country?

I think that Igbo people are their own worst enemies, develop something worth emulating and make Nigeria stronger.

Innoson cars is also meant to be the pride of Nigeria

but guess what ?

PDP because they are working for foreign powers, have successfully kept Innoson cars down for the sole purpose of bribes that they obtain from companies like toyota and co

Innoson cars would have been the major economic break through instead of all this lies Mr president is giving us

@ Bolded,

The genesis of tribalism (in nigeria) goes back to the sudden death of NYM only for zik (Mr. nationalist) and the igbos going on to form NCNC

You silly people calling Igbo etc are all dumb

rhymz:
Your stooopidity knows no bounds!! I am not here to soothe your petty minds, you wonder why I always treat comments from you as dumb?? You try so hard to be subtle in your ethnic jingoism but always end up betraying your purpose & revealing your true intentions; i.e setting one tribe against the other while hypocritically playing the mediator, FOOL!!
Like I have always told you and your likes; your diversionary antics is wack and shitty, it does not take any extra effort to figure you out. You claimed that I have been insulting Yoruba women right from page 2, I challenge you to point any post you can reference to me right from page one up to my very first comment on this thread that came in in the latter part of this thread, else you keep you stinking dog breath restricted to your foul mouth.
Don't you see how stoopid and inconsistent you are? You lying swine!!
If you know me very well, you will know that I don't waste my time indulging in bigotry or its likes, I would rather argue my points but if anyone in the hope that becoz they re females is entitled to talk trash about somebody else then they are deluded cos I won't hesitate to give you an overdose of your own prescription. I don't fool myself and play nice becoz it is a woman and just let slide, that's bullcrap!! If you think you can get brazen with your gutter attitude, be sure I will cut you to size, be you a man, woman, Eidiot( like in the case of those three biatches that get you wet) animal or whatever, you will get it as you want it.
Now shut your mouth and go deal with your split personality ailment that has plagued your miserable life, what a M'ORON!!

bros take it easy with me na, You go just get heart attack for nothing

I do not intend to point things out to you but all I did was to advice a brother

You are my brother, that is true

Just let the fuel price increase and then Nigeria shuts down, it may not happen by January but give it 6 months and you guys will swear never to support this silly move.
Fooooooooollllllllllllllsssssssssssssss

PointB, niajaking and relax101 are not Nigerians but have nigeria ancestry living in the Uk and USA

these people are a wicked set of people and do not care about Nigeria

same with the defualt prime minister Iweala that is been paid 600,000 dollars every month or so apart from other econmic teams she is in.

Iweala does not have Nigeria best intreast at heart. she lived all her life in america where things work for the best at the expence of the world ie africa

while she keeps trying to devalue the Naira I do not know

today SLS increased the value of  Naira

Please beg GEJ not to listen to Iweala

we are an oil producing country and should not be compared to America.

because if america pays 2 dollars per litre should not mean we should do the same

OUR CURRENCIES ARE DIFFERENT and should not be compared

No one hates the igbos infact if there is any hate at all, it is the other way around

werepeLeri:
On the other thread - someone said dollar to naira was 1 to 200 - many screamed their lungs out, calling people different names. Iweala thief, GEJ slowpoke, Sanusi goat- now, the Naira gains against the dollar marginally, yet, its still the same name calling.

Nope Iweala and GEJ policies are decreasing the value of Naira.

one question, why does GEJ pay Iweala in dollars instead of Naira. Is she patriotic to Nigeria at all or patriotic to America ?

the other thread no one called SLS names

SLS is fixing the mess Iweala is creating for us !!

while Iweala and GEJ are trying to reduce our money and hyper inflating the economy. SLS is trying to close in the gap between the dollar and the Naira

Iweala SMH

I mean a woman that is working for the World bank instead of Nigeria. That is the prime minister

Naira Gains, Now N158.95 To Dollar

By FAVOUR AGBI, with Agency report

LAGOS – Naira increased slightly, yesterday, after the aggressive Central Bank of Nigeria’s, CBN, hike in interest rate.

The naira opened at N158.60 against the dollar on the interbank market, up 3.4 per cent from Monday’s close of N164.20 and five per cent firmer than the record low of 167.8 plumbed shortly before Monday’s unscheduled Central Bank meeting.

Naira, which gained three per cent after the CBN tightening measures, was the world’s best performing currency on the day, and the unit stood at N158.95.

CBN hiked the benchmark interest rate, the Monetary Policy Rate, MPR, by 275 basis points to 12 per cent and implemented several other tightening measures to counter pressures on the currency and inflation.

Most analysts had expected CBN to raise rates by 100 basis points at the extraordinary meeting, which was called in response to a sharp depreciation of the naira.

Dealers noted that, the tightening will create an incentive for investors to hold the naira and free up dollar supply, but the central bank will have to back its actions by meeting dollar demand at its auctions.

odumchi:
It's common added with the Internet. Igbos living in Igboland (excluding those outside of Igboland) are in excess of 30 million. Ijaws are 10% of Nigeria hence they are 15 million, Ibibios are around 4% so they are +-5 million, Efiks are around 3 million and other minorities are 2m. All of these groups are in the old Eastern Region and their numbers are substantial.

Also according to this 1953 UN census if Nigeria (which is the only widely accepted census of Nigeria),

Hausas were 5,548,542 17.81%
Fulani 3,040,736 9.76 %
Igbos 5,483,660 17.60 %
Yorubas 5,046,799 16.2 %
Ibibios 766,764 2.5%

Making the West 20.4% of Nigeria
And the East 25.6% of Nigeria.

[url]http://www.afrimap.org/english/images/documents/UNRISD%20Nigeria%20Mustapha.pdf
[/url]

those figures were not UN figures but figures conducted using estimations by each region by colonial masters and did not census because there was no counting of people in 1952/3

Please read the link again

". More recent censuses are particularly disputed. However, the last
colonial census in 1952/3 gives an indication of the size of 9 ethnic groups in the
population,"


"Centres of large population
concentrations coincide with the homelands of these three majority ethnic groups who
constituted 57.8% of the national population in the 1963 census [Afolayan, 1978; 147
& 155]. That census has the Hausa at 11,653,000 (20.9%), the Yoruba at 11,321,000
(20.3%), and the Igbo at 9,246,000 (16.6) [Jibril, 1991, 111]"

that is 1991.

with that said, you do not get the point of aribisala0

read his post again

he is not talking of ethnic population but the population of the regions and with the migration of people to the western region

80,000 to 110,000 jobs in four years very poor, Gej n Iwela should set our steel companies, refineries, n other government dead companies up wit the 50bn, i tell u not less than 900,000 people will be employed at a go, its time they stop this rubbish of creating jobs for their families, senators and reps, governors and ambassadors, in the name of nigeria youth, when we have over 150,000 graduate every year.
FG wake up for good

THANK YOU!!!!!

thread close.

Another chop I chop money.


Goodjob guys.

Alhaji, it is time we got into Politics. There is money in this racket!

Yes, I would defiantly go into politics. But you and I need to employ Beaf !!!

Trust me if we employ him, we would win the hearts of the gullible minds especially like of ezeuche/pointB and niajaking

naijaking1:
Once again, let ask all pro-subsidy N/Lers one question:
What do you say to people who are already paying more at the filling stations today than they would if the subsidy is removed

who are the people already paying more today at 65N per litre than they would at 142N per litre ?

becos I do not understand your question

wesley80:
^^^ That's less than 10% after WHT deductions to the FG so ; Your bad!
Try 'Nigeria on the rise'.

+1

Kudos Gej and Iweala

but how would the jobs be created ?

igbo2011:
We have an inferiority complex, we think that everything abroad is better. We will import cars instead of buying Innoson.

Yes we have serious inferiority complex which even I am exhibit at times, not to lie

I still do not understand why the FG cannot

1. invest in Innoson cars, PPP
2. Stop the importation or reduce it to a certain amount every year

I still can not figure that out you know

asha 80:
frankly i do not know about kano or ibadan markets.but are you trying to tell me ariaria market is bigger than onitsha market?i do not think so.


maybe it once was.

may be so, I guess it is hard to make a good accession of the matter

but there are some factors that needs to be considered in terms of open markets

1. Amount of people working in the market
2. Variation of goods
3. day to day money transaction done in the market
4. quantity of goods that can be bought in the market.
5. the amount of people that go to the market to purchase goods on a yearly average

while others claim jankiri in lagos to be the largest

This is my take on the market size after some research although I would not say I have been to all the markets in Nigeria and certainly not jankiri or ibadan market

I would hope to believe Onitsha is the largest market in Nigeria, I might be wrong on this. No really sure.

http://www.openair.org/kumasi_market_ghana_africa_video


ok since it is seen by this website that it is second largest in africa then i guess largest in africa is somewhere else other than west africa.


anyway i saw onitsha's own as largest open market

is there any difference in outdoor and open markets ?

this site claims onitsha to be the largest in west africa

http://www.dloc.com/onitsha

Not sure

anyway i saw onitsha's own as largest open market

mistake the market is located in kumasi ghana but called kejetia market

Onitsha i do not think so even in Nigeria because u need to go to sabon gari or ibadan even aba to say all this.

olawalebab:
please, i will want to know much about that market

Largest open markets in africa from lowest to highest

5 The souks of Fes and Marrakech in Morocco.

Narrow alleyways, the smell of spices, bicycles being fixed, skinned goats hanging on hooks, carpet sellers following you around and lots of tea being drunk; shopping in the souks is one of the reasons why you should visit Morocco.


4 Islamic Cairo

is basically a giant bazaar and a main tourist attraction in Egypt. If you're looking for a belly-dancing costume or want a replica of King Tut's mask, this is the place to be. Get your bargaining boots on and maintain a sense of humor.

3 Kejetia Market in Kumasi, Ghana.

Beautiful Kente cloth, Ashanti crafts, bubble gum and dried chameleons, this market has it all and is considered to be one of the best in West Africa. The market is large and crowded but friendly and not too touristy.

2 Maasai Cattle Markets in northern Tanzania.

Cattle markets are held every week in small villages on the road between the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. Great place to experience an authentic cattle auction and get a pair of motorcycle tire sandals.

1 Merkato in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Supposedly the largest open air market in Africa, and one of the best. You can buy flip-flops, incense, spices and even kalashnikovs.
