Mimido2: lol.....d yeye girl does not want to go home
Please don't say that. Do you know what they subjected her to that a vibrant Bayelsan girl is now a siluette and zombie that she can do boommmmm!. Islam Islam Islam how many times did I call you? You are the scourge of the world.
What is happening in this country? They want christian girls but they should first go school,get circumcised . Christian girls have become a war booty to be won.this is barbaric.
mamajaz: How does going to school stop him from doing this?
AS HE WANTS TO BE AN ENTREPRENEUR,IT IS A WASTE OF TIME HE WILL USE IN SEEKING,PARTICIPATING AND ORGANIZING ART EXHIBITIONS AND BE MAKING HIS MILLIONS.YOU DON'T NEED TOO MUCH EDUCATION TO BE A SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR.EDUCATION IS SOMEHOW OVERRATED IN NIGERIA.
diasporaman: Eko Ooni baje epidemic. Tinubu daughter who doesn't own a shop is the president of all the traders in the state
No body is against development but it must be with human face. I suppose a standard notice of 6 months should be given in the cases of relocation and demolition to enable occupants find new place and safeguard their wares and properties.
Gracemacel: So, my mother and I harvested this 4in1 yam from our backyard this morning.
Who is holding the yam? Mother or daughter? Anyway whoever she is,she looks healthy,lively,natural and portable. In fact she is beautiful. I guess you might be from Cross Rivers Akwa Ibom area. More bountiful harvest next season.
surgecom: There was this guy who always visited our house whenever we were not around(between 12pm - 4pm). He most times forced his way in no matter how strong the doors are locked. As a Surveillance Engineer myself, i decided to install a camera that looks like halogen at the top of the house. Unfortunately for him, the camera caught him in his next visit. He is presently at the remand home at Oregun. Thank God for the video evidence, the case nearly went in their favour.
Incase you are faced with such scenarios/occurences, do not hesitate to install one. Its very useful if you really want to know what has happened in your house while you were not at home. You can also watch it live from your phone or laptop anywhere in the world.
Enjoy the small bit i cut out from the 1 hour video.
IDnoble1: The hatred is not only towards The Yorubas but also to The Hausas. And I don't know why
FROM MY RESEARCH IGBO FELT THAT WITHOUT YORUBA SYNERGIZING WITH THE NORTH,THEY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN BIAFRA AND WOULD HAVE DEVELOPED FARTHER THAN WHAT IS SEEN IN NIGERIA TODAY.THEY FEEL THAT NIGERIA IS DRAGGING THEM BACKWARDS.
drjoshua2000: Is the C-class 1997 Model a good ride?
THAT IS THE BEST CAR YOU CAN EVER HAVE.EVERYTHING IS IN SUPERLATIVE -FUEL ECONOMY,SMOOTHNESS,COMFORTABLITY, RUGGEDNESS,ETC. I BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE AFTER AND I CAN'T KEEP MY EYES OFF IT WHEN I SEE THEM ON THE ROAD.GO FOR IT AND THANK GERMAN LATER.
tunwumi: This sceen look like innocent people that police used to arrange as criminals. i pity them sha.
IS LIKE THE GUYS ARE MECHANICS ARRESTED IN A WORKSHOP WITH VEHICLES THEY WERE WORKING ON.WE MUST NOT CONCLUDE THAT THEY'RE ARMED ROBBERS UNTIL WE HEAR THEIR VERSION OF THE STORY.POLICE CAN BE MEAN SOME TIMES.
MadCow1: I don't think we need to go outside this thread. We can handle this between us here.
Someone already committed to giving 20k for this cause. That can handle the grinder easily. Depending on what other support we get, we can decide on the final phase.
ernie1234: This lady looks pretty when much younger but now...........I wonder what has gone out her
Nothing destroys ladies like heavy make up and application of dangerous chemicals on their faces in the name of beauty. It is becoming worst these days,i hate make up.
azubaby: The Kenya President attended most probably because he knows either d bride or d groom or both and not because d couple met 2ru facebook. I think we are more wasteful than these other African nations, any wedding in Naija that can attract d presence of d President must b damn expensive, at least judging frm d pics.
I LOVE THE WAY EAST AFRICANS DO THEIR THINGS, MORE MATURED AND SIMPLE.JUST CHECK OUT THE RECEPTION AND THE GARDEN - OUT OF THE WORLD.I WAS BLOWN AWAY DURING OUR HOLIDAY IN KENYA AND TANZANIA.some things ARE SERIOUSLY LACKING IN NIGERIA.
I have been out of my base and I just pop in to see what has been happening, I really appreciate all the efforts you guys are making. I still stand by my pledge. God bless you all.
Real2020: This is true. I use to work in the bank. Fear this Igbo men even the young ones. Their balance is usualy above 100m. There was a day a young man around late 20s came to the bank was trying to coordinate large transfers for supplies from Japan. The amount was 590m. Till this day I still remember this young man. Dressed in simple cloth and shoes. And when he left, I looked through the window to see what he drove in...a pick-up truck. Lol.
THAT PICK-UP TRUCK IS LIKE A WORKING TOOL TO HIM AT WORK SHOP,GO TO WHERE HE LIVES TO SEE THE QUALITY OF HIS HOUSE AND AUTOMOBILES PACKED THERE AND THE SCHOOLS HIS CHILDREN GO.OH YOU EXPECT HIM TO WEAR STARCHED AGDADA,SUIT WITH POWERFUL PERFUMES,GOLD ETC. WHEN AT WORK TO EARN YOUR RESPECT?THEY ARE FAR AHEAD IN THEORY AND PRACTICE OF ADVANCED MONEY EDUCATION AND THAT IS THE SECRET OF THEIR SUCCESSES NOT THE SO TOUTED rituals.
donsteady: This is inhuman. All these animals should be arrested immediately
YOU CAN SAY IT AGAIN. THEY MIGHT BE TAKING PICTURES FOR POLICE TO BELIEVE THEM WHEN THEY ARE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL.DON'T YOU KNOW THAT NO HOSPITAL WILL ADMIT THEM WITH OUT POLICE REPORT OR HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT WE ARE IN ANIMAL SOCIETY WHERE HUMAN LIVES MEANS NOTHING THESE DAYS.
babadem2much: NO MATTER HOW SMALL LET US KNOW, SO THAT WE GIVE OUR WIDOW'S MITE
I AM MOVED BY THIS GUYs DETERMINATION TO SUCCEED IN SPITE HIS PHYSICAL CHALLENGE.I HEREBY PLEDGE N20,000 IN SUPPORT FOR A TRICYCLE.ANY ABLE BODIED PERSON THAT IS UNEMPLOYED IS OYO.
blessedfavoured: lol true that one is obviously typing from Nnewi. even igbo landlords( deltans and rivers too are igbo/biafra right?) do not rent out their house to them. they all say yoruba tenants preferred.
I always wonder why they like festac, ojo etc. most of my igbo friends live there.
FESTAC has become MILLIONAIRES play ground for ibo entrepreneurs.Yurobas are selling their properties as they can not cope anymore.ibos are hard core capitalists.
Observant: The Lord that answerth by fire..... He will be my Lord.
Best news since 2016, I hope it plunges down to $5 per barrel so my joy will be complete.
You took it out of my mind. I am most elated by this development. I have been beaming with smiles. My parents worked hard to earn their living and here I am working so hard and diligently to earn mine too but some people are sitting idly in offices stealing our common wealth. They make those working look stupid.the day of reckoning has finally caught up with Nigeria. Thank God its happening in my time but it is never too late for lazy bones and looters only that they will be dazed with the challenges they will meet while starting afresh. Una ntorrrr
Udmaster: I understand where you are coming from BUT A Tribe occupying President/Vice position will help in representing their interest well inorder to avoid the marginalization issue and it attracts political respect.
IT'S FEEL GOOD IMPRESSION,FROM MY OBSERVATIONS IGBO ARE FAR BETTER THAN OTHER TRIBES THAT HAVE PRODUCED THE PRESIDENTS.AVERAGELY IGBO ARE ATOP OF TRIBE WITH HIGHEST STANDARDS OF LIVING IN NIGERIA,CARS,GOOD HOUSES,DSTV,SCHOOLS,FASHION,GOOD HEALTH ETC.
TonyeBarcanista: I have no problem whether you (in your personal capacity) stand with IPOB or not. Even Asari in his capacity as Asari is standing with IPOB. Nobody have the right to abuse you for your position.
However, the position of SS, which you and I belong to is very clear. We recognise the respective ethnic nations as distinct, and we have defined our demand(as seen in the Kaiama declaration for the Ijaws and INC resolution in April 2015). Other groups also have their demands. Biafra/IPOB or whatever is not part. No Igboman or woman can attempt to go beyond their boundary(as they did in 1967) without being resisted with our full wrath. If they need us, they should come with their proposal but it is for us to decide whether or not we want it.
This is not just a personal opinion of Tonye. You know quite well the mind of our people. By the grace of God, efforts/plans are ongoing to address some of our challenges as a people.
PS: No SS is embarrassing themselves.
YOU ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN GATHERING likes FROM BLOGGERS AND YOU ARE HAPPY FOR THAT TO YOUR OWN DETRIMENT.THE NORTHERNERS ARE BEATING DRUMS OF DIVISION WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS YOU SUPPOSED TO SYNERGIZE AND GET WHATEVER YOU WANT OUT OF THIS COUNTRY WITHIN ONE YEAR BUT YOU FAILED TO GET THE TRICKS THE HAVE BEEN USING ON YOU FOR ALMOST 50YRS.IT'S ONLY A FOOL LIKE YOU THAT DOESN'T KNOW HIS ENEMIES.THE NORTH OWN 90% OF OIL IN YOUR BACKYARD AND THEY'VE CONTINUED TO USE IT TO DEVELOP THE NORTH AND OTHER COUNTRIES LIKE NIGER, CHAD ETC.IT A FOOL LIKE YOU THAT DOESN'T KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW THE NORTH ARE MINING SOLID MINERALS IN THE NORTH WITH OUT REMITTING MONEY TO THE FEDERAL GOVT.AND A NIGER DELTAN CAN'T BE FCT MINISTER AND OTHER MINISTRIES.THEY ARE USING YOUR MONEY NOW TO DEVELOP AGRICULTURE FOR FUTURE EXPORT AND YOU ARE HERE ABUSING IGBO,KEEP IT UP TO THE SHEERING OF YOUR ENEMIES WHILE YOU LOST SIGHT OF COUNT DOWN ON THE OIL.
"I retired at 24," says Samuel Alemayehu, as we look out over the vast, stinking rubbish mountain in the heart of Addis Ababa.
Birds shriek as they swoop down to collect items from the heaps of waste. Human scavengers, faces grey with dust, pick through the filth.
All this against the background of a modern cityscape, the skyline thick with construction cranes as the capital's building boom races on.
Samuel, who does not look much older than 24, tells me how his family went into political exile in the US when he was a child. How his father, who was an MP in Ethiopia, had to become a taxi driver.
But Samuel was exceptionally bright and ended up with a scholarship to study engineering at the prestigious Stanford University. He made his fortune in Silicon Valley while still a student.
"It was time to go home. To use my resources and knowledge to do something for my country," he said.
For all his talk of retirement, Samuel is a very busy man. He is building Africa's first waste-to-energy plant where the city's rubbish will be burned at a temperature of up to 1,800 degrees Celsius and converted into 185 million KW of electricity.
Samuel says once the facility is operational, it will be able to supply power to more than 30% of Addis Ababa's households, no small feat in a city with a population of four million.
There is an urgent need to increase the power supply, which is currently failing to keep up with Ethiopia's rapid economic growth of more than 10% a year for the past decade.
The focus is on renewables. The most ambitious project is the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, which will be Africa's largest source of hydroelectric power.
The dam has generated much controversy because of the forced movement of people and because Egypt, which is downstream, is worried it will restrict vital water supplies. Working conditions
After my tour of the energy facility, I visit another entrepreneur, Harsh Kothari.
Although he is Indian, Harsh is in some ways more Ethiopian than Samuel. His family has been in Ethiopia for four generations, he was born and educated in Addis Ababa, and speaks fluent Amharic.
Again and again, we pass people wearing shoes made in Harsh's factory, from bright orange flip-flops to trainers made from local leather.
The shoe factory is magical. Barrels are piled high with pigments and chemicals. Whirring, hissing machines heat and mix the plastic. Workers cut, stitch, lace, check, bag and box the shoes.
My favourite place is the invention room, occupied by a solitary Indian wearing thick glasses. He is glueing strips of different coloured rubber together and playing about with strap widths to create unique flip-flop designs.
This locally managed factory is giving the Chinese shoe factories in Ethiopia a run for their money.
I'm told the Ethiopian workers in the Chinese factories are unhappy with the more rigid working conditions and the requirement that they sing not only the Chinese national anthem every morning but the factory anthem too. Ambitious plans
It also fits in with Ethiopia's aim for manufacturing to lead the economy in 10 years' time.
Twelve giant industrial parks are being built as part of this plan, including the "green" clothing and textile complex known as Hawasa-Eco.
Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn pointed out to me the potential benefits to his country of rising labour costs in China: "More manufacturing can relocate from China to Ethiopia so it's an advantage in that sense." Ethiopia's economy:
Witnessed rapid economic growth, with GDP growth averaging 10.9% between 2004 and 2014 World Bank says this has lifted the country from being the second poorest in the world in 2000 to becoming a middle income country by 2025, if current growth trajectory continues. 80% of population of about 90 million is dependent on agriculture GDP for 2014 was $55.61bn Ethiopia currently experiencing worst drought in 50 years, says Save the Children Ethiopian electricity is among the cheapest in the world, if not the cheapest Second five-year Growth and Transformation Plan will focus on manufacturing, agricultural transformation and development of the export sector
Back in central Addis, I visit a man who could easily pass for an Ethiopian, although his surname suggests otherwise. Vincent Diop is in fact half Senegalese, half Dutch.
"I grew up here. Ethiopia is in my blood. I feel at home here. I left Holland, where I had a thriving business, to set up a similar operation here, offering services to people through their mobile phones."
Vincent is keen to take advantage of the rapid growth in mobile phone use, which increased fourfold between 2011 and 2015.
According to Ethiopia's second five-year Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP2) 90% of the population will have mobile phones by 2020.
Young staff in white shirts and brightly coloured ties dart about the cluster of buildings that make up Vincent's business.
Those in yellow ties work for the mobile payment section, those with green ones for the Ethiopian equivalent of eBay, turquoise represents the jobs section, purple is legal advice and blue is for health. Dynamism and creativity
Although their backgrounds are so different, Samuel, Harsh and Vincent represent the part of Ethiopian life where dynamism, creativity and an adventurous spirit are allowed to thrive.
The political space is far more restrictive. Human rights groups have recently condemned what they describe as the use of lethal force against those protesting against the expansion of Addis Ababa into land they see as rightfully theirs.
Opposition party members, journalists and bloggers are frequently jailed. Even the Ethiopian government looked a little sheepish when the ruling EPRDF party and its allies won every single seat in this year's parliamentary election.
The economy is also tightly controlled, especially the banking and telecoms sectors. But growth is impressive, GDP per head has risen by close to 150% in the past decade and the government has stated Ethiopia will become a middle-income country by 2025.
I asked one of the main architects of Ethiopia's economic transformation, the minister and special adviser to the prime minister, and author of the recent book Made in Africa: Industrial Policy in Ethiopia, Dr Arkebe Oqubay, whether the country's vision is a fantasy.
"I don't have any illusion that this will be achieved," he said.
"But it requires extraordinary effort to sustain such rapid growth and transformation."
Two African countries which have undergone serious conflict in the recent past and are now doing well in terms of economic growth and lower corruption rates are Ethiopia and Rwanda.
Is it a coincidence that both, especially Rwanda, are highly disciplined and place severe restrictions on political and media freedom?
TEARS SWELL IN MY EYES.THIS IS 100% CORRECT.I JUST CAME BACK FROM THE TWO COUNTRIES RECENTLY.IT IS MAGICAL TO SEE HOW THESE COUNTRIES HAVE BEEN TRANSFORMED WITHIN A DECADE DUE TO DEDICATED LEADERS AND LESS CORRUPTION.THE WORST THING ABOUT NIGERIA IS THAT WE HAVE NOT EVEN SCRATCHED THE SURFACE.THERE IS NO HOPE THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING.
Omotayor123: @Toks2008 most guys actually sees all that as a turn on... They seems to fall easily for fake things.
Long time though.. Where are you hiding
Not true sissy ladies believe so but guys are not happy about it.you can imagine if your guy tells you am taking you out today but please be natural.you will say he is a mugu or controlling your life. Guys are just grudgingly stomaching the artificiality. Ok do op test if in doubt.
