Gbagura: He has dual citizenship. The UK law allows the government to revoke British citizenship from dual nationals since they have another nationality to fall back on. However under international law you cannot make an individual stateless. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Politics / Re: Akeredolu: I Didn't Call Dor The Scrapping Of The Senate by Babanah: 9:56pm On Jun 03, 2021 |
Kriss216: The senate / upper chamber is necessary in any federation to guarantee equity among the federating units. Without that only a few states with large populations will control a unicameral chamber. This is why the constitution requires key federal appointments to be confirmed by the senate only. Kano state has three senators just as balyesa despite differences in population. |

omonnakoda: I think I have made my point as every other Nigerian is entitled to. I cannot impose my views on anyone as I’m not in the army and do not intend to plot a coup. The thinking of individuals have a lot to do with the collective psyche of a society. I grew up at a time when the sky was the limit for Nigeria. I have been around the world and cannot think of any country that is packed full with intelligent and energetic people. All I want is for Nigeria to take it’s rightful place in the comity of nations so that the Black race could finally be respected. By the way I’m half lagosian island. I rest my case. |
Politics / Re: Sanwo-Olu Restate Calls For Special Status For Lagos by Babanah: 1:56pm On Jun 02, 2021 |
omonnakoda: Most prosperous and successful countries have were built by foreigners. The US, United Kingdom, Singapore and some Middle East countries. The British finally chose Lagos as the capital of Nigeria because of what they saw in Lagosians. Educated ,enlightened, urbane and accommodating group of people. Comprising of the Bini, Awori, Brazilian West Indian Serria Leone returnees. Lagos has over the years accommodated people from far and near and I think that was why the British moved the capital to Lagos. (And by the way Nigeria had not made any progress since the capital was moved to Abuja but that’s by the way). But I’m shocked by the present crop of ‘Lagosians’ who appear to be uneducated, omo onile, with all sense of entitlement and no sense of history. I say to them could Lagos be where it is today without the contributions of non lagosians? 1 Like |

omonnakoda:My friend, we seem to be saying different things. I am suggesting converting the present Eko Atlantic into a special economic territory like Hong Kong. If we want to expand we reclaim more land from the ocean. It wouldn’t be fair to convert the whole of Lagos state into a special economic zone. Not only to the indigenes of Lagos but also the other states. |

omonnakoda: How about starting off with ‘Eko Atlantic’ ? At least we won’t have much problems with ‘resetting’. |
Politics / Re: Sanwo-Olu Restate Calls For Special Status For Lagos by Babanah: 10:47am On Jun 02, 2021 |
omonnakoda: There will be no indigenes in this territory which will not be the whole of Lagos state. When Abuja was conceived the original inhabitants were supposed to be resettled outside the FCT. But that didn’t happen hence we have ‘Abuja indigenes’ citizens of the Federal Government in Abuja and therefore superior to other Nigerians. |
Politics / Re: Sanwo-Olu Restate Calls For Special Status For Lagos by Babanah: 10:37am On Jun 02, 2021 |
A special Economic Zone should be carved out of Lagos with a status such as Hong Kong. It shall be self governing but under the sovereignty of Nigeria. It will have its own financial regulator independent of the CBN. Capital flows in and out of this region shall be unimpeded. Relaxed immigration rules for foreigners from developed countries and African diaspora. Transactions will be denominated in USD and all corporation taxes shall be remitted to the Federal Government of Nigeria to be shared by all tiers of government. This territory shall be run as a private corporation and occupants will pay dues, taxes, fees and fines to the corporation for the upkeep of facilities within this territory. If this can happen, it will unleash the tremendous energies from Nigeria and the diaspora without the ‘political mill stone’ hanging on her neck. As long as this territory remits money to the Federal government. |

Politics / Re: Malami: Banning Open Grazing Is Like Banning Sale Of Spare Parts in the North by Babanah: 12:09am On May 20, 2021 |
I think Malami made a good point. The Northerners have not banned consumers of alcohol from staying in the North because they are smart enough to know they don’t have the constitutional powers to do so. Instead they search for impound and destroy alcohol (beer). The so called southerners are not as clever as they think. Intelligence is not the same thing as going to school. 1 Like |
Politics / Re: Only Intellectuals Should Open by Babanah: 3:27pm On May 19, 2021 |
To me the Genesis story is metaphor for Mankind to realize that reality as it sees it is self centered, selfish and detached. This is the greatest illusion of Man - separation from others God. Going to the issue of genotypes and genes. This has to do with mutations in DNA as they replicate and also adaptation to our external environment through evolution. So to summarize we are both undergoing internal and external evolution. |

It is a well known fact that the skin ages more with exposure to the sun. That is why our limbs and torso usually appear fresher than our face. And Africans living in the northern hemisphere like Europe look “fresher” than those living in Africa. |

[quote author=Bossil post=100917925] So what does insurance cover?[/quote Insurance policies do not usually cover force majeure (Acts of God, insurrections, civil disobedience, etc). The are two main issues around this coming up with the probability of such event happening and also the widespread nature of the event. This makes it unprofitable for insurers. |
Politics / Re: Gov. Obaseki Is Right, Emefiele Agrees To The Printing Of Money by Babanah: 7:58pm On Apr 16, 2021 |
It is rather disingenuous for the CBN governor to compare his action (money printing) with what obtains in the US and Europe (quantitative easing). QE entails the Central Bank “creating money” and then buying assets eg corporate bonds with it. Thereby injecting liquidity into the system. The process could also be reversed at the appropriate time, what the Central Bank would do is SELL the assets and in the process mop up liquidity from the system. Our dear CBN simply went ahead to print billions of naira to “support” the government. His statement about securitizing the “loan/cash” handed to government was only an afterthought. It’s not a surprise, as this CBN is well known for making up policy as they go. |
