Where is the rousing welcome?

Look at the length of his trousers and those of the Chinese officers : just wondering why he has to wear short trousers just to show he is a Muslim even with a military uniform.

You're sick.

The ineffectual buffoon is still thinking that he deserved to win any election?

Osinbajo panel will require his explanations on the millions of $$ at Osborne flats and other places.

deantimes:
MURIC how dare you issue orders to a Fayose in his domain?

Would any northern governor tolerate CAN's warning not to demolish churches? Where were you when churches was burnt down in the north?

The Fayose I know will bulldoze those mosques, let's see where that your treat will lead you to.

Instead of you to be begging you're issuing press statement with treat, would Buhari accept such?

Why is it that Muslim are always associated with violence?

But you are the one threatening violence now.

malton:
FFK is dumb, just like his followers.

Arab Yadam is a Plateau man from Pankshin. He should be either Ngas or Mupun.

That drug addict FFK is just mischievous. He knows the plateau man is neither Hausa/Fulani nor a Muslim.

ChetaNwaeze:
We Igbos should tell ourselves the truth. The suffering and poverty in Igboland is too much. The rate of armed robbery, fake drug/product manufacturing, human trafficking, baby factory, kidnapping, rape, cocaine peddling, human sacrifice, money rituals and all other evil vices one can think of, is getting very high and alarming in Igboland.

As an Igbo man myslef I am afraid of going back to Igboland. I dont want to end up insaide someone's cooking pot. I will rather remain in Lagos.

It's GREED not poverty my friend.

osazsky:
At least dey don't slaughter innocent pple expecially harmless children

Where in Nigeria do you have children branded as witches and tortured or killed?

HungerBAD:
Wow.

He ordered thousands of Bibles to be burnt?Christianity is indeed a very tolerant religion.

If he had ordered that a "Crayon" should be used to write something on top of the Quran,the Country as a wbole would have been burning,and there will be a World wide Protests from Nigeria to the UK,And from Yemen to Pakistan.

But again,I do not blame him. I blame the 15,000 people that this Pastor hoodwinks every Sunday.

And while he is busy burning Bibles,Why don't he also help us write one? Since he is not pleased with the ones around.

Please note that he is only burning the fake ones.

princechurchill:
The problem of Nigeria is the North, remove them and watch this country develop, just look at our SGF can this man get close to the academic qualities of Southerners?

Yes , the way you guys are developing Malaysia. China, and South Africa.

And your women developing Italy and Dubai.

When will the next batch of your brothers be executed in Indonesia?

Not rescue but damage limitation.

sotall:
The Presidential Initiative for the North East (PINE) was created by Goodluck Jonathan.

Upon all this man did for the North.....they just hated him because he is not of their religion.

You are wrong. He was incompetent.

It's time to suspend Saraki.

ikeadewole:
He must be mad on amala and ewedu...Iant it the same buhari who said Abacha was not corrupt... Was is not the same buhari who cleared Babachir lawal of corruption.... Abegi its your zombies you will fool not me...4 days and the federal government have not said who owns the money in ikoyi...

alexistaiwo:
All this one is short term solution.
Suspend Mallam Muhammadu Buhari and see improvements
I am neither for APC or PDP.
Just a concerned patriotic citizen.





If I hear whemmmm from anybody ehnnn

Just a miserable wailer.

shammah1:
Oga stop the media trial and face reality. We ain't kids. We know the owner of the stolen money even if they try to cover up. That's why your APC gods keep loosing in courts while winning on your TV & Papers

You don't want the whistle blowing money? You know the owner , why don't you go and testify?

Land is a Resource

Fossil fuel is a reigning natural resource and has been extremely valuable within the last two centuries for its use in providing the energy to drive engines. There are numerous other natural resources obtained from the land, but one has to have the land to begin with, before attempting to find out what it may contain. Land is a natural resource of profound importance, after all it is the pieces of land joined together that make the world and the land in your hold is your own share of the globe - at least in physical and geographical terms.
We all know the importance of land and what misery and conflicts arise from the quest for it throughout history. We can safely say that a large proportion of wars fought from thousands of years of man’s existence were related to land - a resource worth fighting for; to concur, to ward off invaders or to physically settle a border disputes. In recent history the colonial wars of the 19th century and the on-going Middle East conflict are perhaps the most well-known to our generation as examples of territorial wars where the goal is land as a resource. Nearer home in Nigeria land disputes are so common you can assume that a couple of disputes are going one point in time somewhere in the country. The 1995 Aguleri/Umuleri land dispute claimed thousands of lives and the land related Ezillo/Ezza conflict in Ebonyi state claimed 150 lives in 2010 and 66 lives in 2012. Land disputes occur even within families often with serious consequences. These few illustrations are just to remind us how precious land and territory is to the humankind.

In relative terms northern states of Nigeria have abundance of land resource occupying 79% of the 923,768 square kilometres that make Nigeria.
Oyo state for example, is the state with the largest land area among the southern states with 28.454 sq km but only bigger than 6 of the 19 states of the north and actually less than half the size of Borno or Niger states. Niger state (76.363sqkm) is 2.6 times the size of Oyo state and 10 times the size of the largest South Eastern state of Enugu (7.161sqkm). The total area of the entire five states of the South East, add to only half the size of Borno state.( Those five states of the South East constitute only 3.1% of the total area of Nigeria and yet according to the last government’s body language they are the favourite for creation of additional states in the country even if only one is decided on.)

With the rather egocentric concept of “resource control” as the vogue in the Nations politics the North must start thinking of how to apply resource control to its expansive asset and of course how to explore and reap the related fortunes. We know that there is no state in the country, north or south , that does not have confirmed mineral deposits under its grounds. A few examples in the wide expanse of land in the northern states are; Iron ore lead and zinc in Benue, Uranium, lead and Zinc in Bauchi, Copper and glass in Kano, Tin columbite and tantalite in plateau, Sapphire, aqua marine, gold etc in Kaduna. Gold and lead in Sokoto kebbi and zamfara. The effort to refine the crude gold mining going on especially in Niger and Zamfara states is a welcome development. We need the support of expert mining countries like South Africa, Chile, China and Australia.

Closely related to land size and climate is agriculture. Despite the years of neglect of the agricultural sector development, farming is still the greatest employer of the labour force especially in the north. Although less than 25% of the arable land of the north is used for agriculture, millions of tons of food and cash crops are produced annually by mainly scattered peasant farmers using simple non mechanised tools. The potential for agricultural development is really immense and requires the will and the planning to execute.
Coming back to resource control, will the north allow free access to it’s own resource (land) by the resource control advocates? Will the cost of land rented or owned be the same for a Nigerian from the resource control zone and the one from another zone? What about other businesses, education, industry, mining estate management, transportation and local air travel, will the taxation be varied as a response to resource control?
Many northerners are of the opinion that the resource control advocates cannot have free access to these resources in the north and they may have to compete in global terms with the Chinese, the Indians the Lebanese etc. for the northern market and other resources hitherto taken for granted. After all, as one child will say to the other, you cannot hold on to your ice cream and still expect to play freely in my fathers vast garden.

Another area to look at is The Federal Capital Territory’s 7300sq Km which was curved out of the states of Niger, Kogi, Nassarawa and Kaduna. Could these states not be compensated for such resource provision to the nation? The federal government should perhaps return the land to these four states and get it back as negotiated rent in the spirit of resource control.
I believe that the north has more potentials that many of the chest beating separatist, the north should not persuade anybody to stay as Nigerian. They can start by withdrawing their federal ministers,federal legislators and all federal government employees including the police and the military and start moving their businesses ,their property and families back to their ethnic enclaves. Then and only then we will know that we they are serious. We are tired of these empty threats. I challenge you to start moving as above.

Many unanswered questions.

1 Two years and he doesn't know your close friends that you can even spend the night in their homes.
2. You sent him a video of your dance steps and did not include your girlfriend in the video
3. Your girlfriend doesn't want her address disclosed , but can't she speak with him and explain?

I bet he is a not from lagos and your make some material gains from the "friendship" that you don't want to lose.

I also think how you first met with him matters, did you meet him through another girl or through a gigolo? I don't mean to be rude but are you a runs girl? All these can aggravate suspicion.

seguno2:
Our useless president already said that we are fantastically corrupt.
Never mind that he ran to London for treatment after banning government officials from doing the same thing. Squandering our scarce foreign exchange that his government has failed to disclose how much was spent.
Buhari must have been describing himself when he said he was fantastically corrupt.

I can feel your pain. Some losers are better than others. You're among the worst.

Stepped down to booze. But he's still wearing the uniform.

bureau de change business doesn't fit all those genetic criminals, who must steal money anywhere they see it.

You know dem na.

shammah1:
If it were Fayose, they'll all come here & mastubate. This dwarf is shooting video for BMC inside the train that Jonathan received all the insult to build for the benefit of the north alone. Some people are so ungrateful

Perhaps the $43million at Osborne, ikoyi was part of the kickback from the rail contract that Jonathan's looters government could never finish.

madgoat:
see crime does not pay

Amadioha and Sango i thank you oh... FTC again within few minutes

ACP Abba Kyari lead the operation and you're talking about heathen gods.

I'm not too comfortable with this write up. It may be factual but coming from Rueben Abati it sounds very patronizing.

Is EFCC breathing down his neck?

Double tragedy for him deceived by the devil twice, one to commit murder and two to leave one God for three.

Nothing to do with Easter - I hope.

Have you noticed that in all Nigerian cities and markets, shops and street corners and sports grounds, and crowded place you have dozens shoe sellers with thousands of fairly used (tokunbo) shoes of all makes and sizes?

The Nigerian market is overflowing with shoes and even if each Nigerians will have 10 pairs of shoes we may not mop the flooded market for many years.

I'm not sure if shoe factory is the right investment at this time. The Abia State government will have more pure water customers than people looking for Abia/ china shoes.

theSpark:
Best answer so far. May I add that he is was given the title at Borgu Emirate, New Bussa not Bida

Thank you!

[quote author=Lionessza post=55535094][/quote]Why do you always get confused with pronouns?

I believe Tinubu was given the title Jagaban Nupe at Bida in Niger State, somehow this title became popular and some kind of identity for Tinubu. Jagaba is a northern title derived from the front runner in a traveling caravan. The leader of the caravan is known as Madugu. ( Madugu Uban Tafiya).

When will this slowpoke stop winging about th election? Your parasitic position in the villa depends on Jonathan. Do you believe that Jonathan deserved to win that election?

Cekpo34:
ICPC operates like PDP while EFCC is an embodiment of APC's lousy and rowdy posture with no tangible result

So how would you describe PDP?
