What does he do for a living ?

Him na owner of Oil Bloc ?

Abi na Ritualist him be.

The best post by far on this thread.
Thanks.

felifeli:
Oyel na oyel

other part na qualification.... palm oyel , coconut oyel , groundnut oyel, crude oyel ... and so on and so forth

I hear you my bro especially when I consider that all the oyelS must be gbona felifeli super hot before they can be 'refined'

barcanista:
What we are saying is that PDP led government have failed nigerians. Imagine position sharing inside som1's bedroom.

You obviously don't know what happens in a certain house on Bourdillon Rd, Ikoyi, Lagos STATE.
It may be useful for you to find out. Hopefully some of your grand illusions about the 'alternative' may be cleared.

The title is grossly misleading as oil refinery is normally used for petroleum products.
Vegetable oil & its derivatives are PRODUCED from the agricultural raw materials.

barcanista:
They keep saying they want to come back without saying what they have done to their didtricts or the nation. I hope the masses make pdp a super minority in the parliament next year and kick-out jona-flop.

And your hope is because those in your alternative Arewa People's Congress, APC have done soooo much 'to their districts or the nation'. Nor be so

dridowu:
Most state house of assembly members dance to the tune of governor, so i don't trust them. I mention EFCC/ICPC in this case cos i believe they are being run by the ruling party (PDP) and Fashola as an opposition , they (EFCC/ICPC) will be able to tackle Fashola very well.

- Do the SINators and representaTHIEVES also dance to this president in the same way
- Why is that not so?
- Can one then say that the federal administration of Jonathan/Sambo has encouraged INDEPENDENCE of other democratic INSTITUTIONS, legislature & judiciary than the states?

samento:
75% of Nigerians wallowing in abject poverty. 24% picking crumps and 1% happy in PDP. Fear God o!

Do you mind sharing with us the source of this statistics or it was simply fabricated in your cranium
If it was fabricated & shared by you, can one safely conclude that apart from being clueless you are also shameless about your clueless situation

seanet02:
Niger Delta money? You must be high.
Federal Government generates over a trillion naira every year from Lagos ports alone. How much are the giving Lagos back as allocation?

- What is the source of your N1 trillion from Lagos ports
- Are the ports OWNED by Lagos state Did the state build them?
- Why have Lagos state SINators and representaTHIEVES not proposed an amendment to our constitution so it has financial autonomy, assuming your quoted figure is true?
- Don't you think that is what LASG should have done if it is not run by a bunch of clueless, propaganda-fuelled & over-hyped mofos

Arch1:
Abuja aslo gives Governor Usman Nasamu Dakingari Of Kebbi state allocation derived from NigerDelta oil revenue. Tell us about what the useless PDP Governor of Kebbi state is doing?

Why are PDP Governors so uselss?

Is someone and/or something holding/preventing you from opening a thread for him

dridowu:
i knew he went to court but in case the FOI is not binding on Lagos, then i will suggest that they can make use of EFCC/ICPC ( both toothless organisation) after he might have left office.

- the FoI is binding on all entities in Nigeria having been passed by our National Assembly with Senators & Reps. from all 36 states. These governors are only being clever by half.
- why mention EFCC & ICPC when there is a state House of Assembly that can hire an independent investigator and ask the state prosecutor's office to follow through in court if impeachment is not an option at the end of his tenure

Is it not MORE important to compare

- the minimum wage of N18,000 [actually N10,000 to the 'empowered' street sweepers] to Lagos LGA chairman's salary versus the minimum wage in London compared to Mayor Boris' salary.
- the % of Lagos children who cannot go to school [PUBLIC or private] versus London children who cannot.
- how many Lagos households and businesses do not have TAP water compared to those without water in London.
- how many mansions, houses, business premises do not have a good FEEDER road [state & LGA responsibility] in front of them versus London.

That is what a rational person who is not clueless would do to understand why Lagosians and yorubas prefer to get stuck in London than stay in Lagos despite its few 'wow' physical infrastructure that is not complemented by HUMAN capital development.

For how much longer shall we remain FOOLISH

dridowu:
On the issue of lekki-ikoyi link bridge, Lekki toll gate e.t.c i have liittle to say about it because i am not an engineer i have little or no knowledge about it, but anyone that feels their is some underground tone about it should make use FOI to dig it out.

You did not read where Fashola went to court saying FoI does not affect Lagos state when asked about the World Bank loan for schools

Lagos state is being run like a cult with its finances shrouded in secrecy from the tax-paying residents on whose behalf Abuja gives Fashola monthly allocation derived from Niger Delta oil revenue.

SLIDEwaxie:
I'm not his lawyer. Thanks

Noted.
You are simply showing your HYPOCRISY, which is synonymous with Arewa People's Congress, APC

SLIDEwaxie:
that was why I said: free and fair...(If ever there's anything like that)

So it was not free and fair because your JagaBandit mobilised voters for Jonathan

SLIDEwaxie:
u're off point, but I'll honour u with a reply.

100 jonathan can't defeat half buhari in a free and fair election this year...

Because you THINK that the JagaBandit won't go to Aso Rock for his own personal infrastructure as usual and order his clueless foot soldiers to vote Jonathan

SLIDEwaxie:
yes, that's the other defence you fall with when, 'a man of his words is a man indeed' failed u...

And what would you say is the defence of Buhari

cramjones:
UPDATE: I just spoke to DJDOLA (Hamed) and his mother. He sounds very optimistic. We prayed toghether on the phone, I will leave further details out. Nairaland has obviously been a blessing to him. Keep him and all other Nigerians in similar conditions in your prayers, while we advocate for the government to provide comprehensive health insurance for every Nigerian.


-CramJones

HOW do WE "advocate for the government to provide comprehensive health insurance for every Nigerian"?
Through our SINators and representaTHIEVES or HOW exactly

Talking in VAGUE wishful terms won't take us anywhere!

dinachi:
Akpabio is surely transforming his pockets! Amaechi has built hundreds of world class schools, a monorail system first of its kind in Nigeria

Has Amaechi actually BUILT a monorail
You may wish to check your meaning of the word, 'built'.
Cheers.

tebirim:
Nice write up.... Are you a Barrister?

Yes, if chatting up people at bars over chilled drinks qualify one as a BARrister

Sincere9gerian:
So Tinubu the renowned thief and former governor of Lagos state, who had nothing to show for his 8 year uneventful reign in Lagos, is now the leader of APC? And this same APC talk of change?
Who's deceiving who?
Change my foot

Seems you are not aware of the latest equation/formula, so make I yarn you:

Arewa People's Congress = HYPOCRISY = APC

eleojo23:
Most of these kids are from less privileged homes. It pains my heart to see kids who should be in school, hawking under the hot sun and gettin drenched in the rain sometimes. Whenever I see them, I wish I have enough money to give them so that they would not have to hawk ever again. Not patronizing them on my part may not really be a good option unless everyone thinks that way. I say this because, if I refuse to patronize them, someone else will and so it continues. The solution is to find a way to help struggling families so that kids are not sent out as breadwinners. Also a very decisive step has to be taken by the government to stop parents from using kids that way.

The solution is to focus on our state gorvernors and LGA chairmen's performance on such BASIC things like ensuring ALL our children receive PROPER education from PROFESSIONAL qualified teachers.
Focusing SOLELY on the federal government's performance while these two tiers are stealing recklessly from us is a recipe for continuing disaster.

tebirim:
I was so disappointed today when i read and conducted interview on behalf of my Company. An O'level holder should at least know how to write a common letter. What is our country turning into? One hardly see intelligent peeps these days, yet they keep complaining of government and no jobs while they can't even express themselves in a letter...Lord have mercy..

Thanks for sharing your experience.
However it is to be expected since our state governors are using youth corpers as secondary school teachers every year instead of recruiting PROFESSIONAL qualified teachers who are motivated with good PROMPTLY paid salaries and regular TRAINING. This would also reduce youth UNEMPLOYMENT.

Are we ALL not very clueless to rate performance of these foolish state governors based on

- IGR collected from our pockets, wallets, bags & handbags
- Stadium built, giant generator for street light bought and passed off as IPP

while the very BASIC issues for sustainable development such as the PROPER education of ALL our children is neglected

If oyinbo people run ruin their societies this way will we be rushing there to become socio-economic EXILES
And yet we are EQUALLY intelligent with them on individual basis

babyosisi:
My brother pray for me

Actually I only had one stick of the suya with the meat pie,the rest was for photo up

I for pray for you oh but as I nor be prayer WARRIOR......

As you dey for obodo oyinbo wey everything na convenience [supermarket, car, lift etc] make you sef dey chop for oyinbo style now....you know salad, fruit things plus dem small small portions.

^^^^^ Fashola performed better than any government in the history of Nigeria...

Does that history include

- Awolowo
- Jakande
- Bola Ige
- Ambrose Alli
- Olabisi Onabanjo
- Adekunle Ajasin

babyosisi:
Life is good

I hope this is a one off meal type and not your usual style, otherwise............

fyneguy:
You guys keep mumbling about the amount spent on defending the naira. Sanusi said if there was laxity on the part of government in managing our fiscal economy, the CBN would have to embark on drastic monetary policies to cushion the effect. In other words, the outrageous amount spent on defending the naira speaks volume for how GEJ's government has managed our economy.

Many of us continue to show utter cluelessness about the meaning and working of government in a democracy.
Have you factored Sanusi's statement that our SINators and representaTHIEVES (of whom APC's latest convert 'Saint" Tambuwal is Speaker) spend 25% of our budget before typing "GEJ's government"

For those who may wish to understand more about the mechanisms of defending a national currency =>

Russia's bill for rouble defence: $1.9bn & counting

Russia is finding out this week that falling oil prices and geopolitical uncertainty do not make for good bedfellows.

With the price of Brent crude continuing its dizzying descent (it is now down more than 20 per cent since a mid-June high of $113 a barrel to $91.55 on Wednesday), investors have been in flight mode.

The rouble has been among the biggest casualties, losing 13 per cent since the start of July to hit a fresh low of 44.91 against a dollar-euro basket on Wednesday. (See chart below)

The pressure is forcing the central bank of Russia to act. Having sold $980m to defend the currency on Friday, the central bank sold another $962m between Monday and Tuesday. The total amount could be higher still given that the data are released with a two-day delay.

Natalia Orlova, chief economist at Alfa Bank in Moscow, reckoned the central bank spent $1.3bn on Wednesday to prop up the currency, in addition to the $1.94bn that have already been announced.

UBS, which this week downgraded its outlook on the rouble, said that despite the hefty depreciation already seen in the currency in recent weeks, it does not expect the pressure to ease up anytime soon.

patrickmuf:
That's what he meant...

They ask you - tea or coffe.
You answer yes

NeoTesla:
However, I think GEJ showed he did not have the character we desire in a president when he flagrantly stamped corruption before our very eyes by pardoning Alameseigha. It suggest that as president, when given a choice between the country and his cronies, he will work for the advantage of the latter.

Would you say the same thing about this president whom Fashola & Thief'nubu paid $750,000 to show up in Lagos a while back

In March 2000, Bill Clinton pardoned Edgar and Vonna Jo Gregory, owners of the carnival company United Shows International, for charges of bank fraud from a 1982 conviction. Although the couple had already been released from prison, the prior conviction prevented them from doing business in certain American states. First Lady Hillary Clinton's youngest brother, Tony Rodham, was an acquaintance of the Gregorys, and had lobbied Clinton on their behalf.] In October 2006, the group Judicial Watch filed a request with the U.S. Justice Department for an investigation, alleging that Rodham had received $107,000 from the Gregorys for the pardons in the form of loans that were never repaid, as part of a quid pro quo scheme.

*****************************

Roger Clinton, the president's half-brother, was pardoned for drug charges after having served the entire sentence more than a decade earlier. Roger Clinton would be charged with drunk driving and disorderly conduct in an unrelated incident within a year of the pardon. He was also briefly alleged to have been utilized in lobbying for the Braswell pardon, among others. However, no wrongdoing was uncovered.

More from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton_pardon_controversy

Kindly note that this does not in any way mean that I support Alams' pardon but rather that I understand its context.
Big difference!

barcanista:
Ekiti style

You mean the Operation Rice for votes that could NOT secure Fayemi's return to the state house

barcanista:
APC wants to finish Jonathan. On a normal circumstance he should have resigned... But resign for who? Sambo? No way!!!

Let him continue till May 2015...

Jonathan should not have bothered replying such BASELESS letters. Rather he should focus on continuing to deliver BETTER infrastructure, sustainable socio-economic development policies that distinguish him from other presidents/ military dictators as well as our very useless state governors.
Those will speak loud & clear against the empty PROPAGANDA of the Arewa People's Congress, APC.

There is no need to give them further publicity more than they can work up themselves with their LIES and DISTORTIONS!!!
