oyb: team gej will continue making more empty promises while nigerians keep dying

it starte way before independence , names of killers and their victims might change from time to time but the intention remains the same.

Beaf: Lets bear in mind that British soldiers have already been on Nigerian soil to chase boko haram.

If boko haram continues, this is what will happen:

1. The army will wage a scotched Earth battle to capture the core-Northern states.
2. Many wouldn't like it causing open conflict.
3. There will be war fronts in Kaduna and Bauchi as each side strives to maintain hold on Abuja.
4. The oil spigot will be kept open to keep the US happy and on the Southern/Middle Beltern side.
5. The US and UK will help the Southern/Middle Beltern side with logistics in the hope that they will avoid the core-North falling into al qaeda's arms.
6. As the war escalates with the likes of Iran helping, the US and UK will see no othet way out than to land troops in the core-North.
7. In the meantime, the Southern/Middle Beltern side would be organising a national conference to plot the way forward as a virile nation with a potent constitution, weakened centre and guarantee the rights of every citizen.
8. At the time the core-North decides to capitulate, the national conference would already have been done and dusted. With rights guaranteed to all, we would have seen the last ever almajiri and 9 year old bride. Also, many sponsors of religious crisis would have been killed during the war or marked to be sentenced to death after its conclusion.

Who knows, there might be blessings to be reaped.

i wonder why we need to go tru all these trouble when everyone can simply come for SNC and sort things out once and for all with all options open.

nigerian men are the most sought after men in the world, females from every race , ethnicity, country wants to date or at least taste a nigerian man so trust me your doing us a favour by excusing yourself that way we wont feel guilty about leaving our nigerian women and having other women from other nations.

planetuzor: Reasons Y "Igbo" people ar "INDUSTRIOUS n Succesful in businz". . . It all boils down to d culture, D way inheritance is shared. .In d igbo land, inhertance is given to only d first born of in d family.. For instance a family of 6boys, nd out of them all only one of them(d first born) is entitled to all d properties of d father even if the properties nd inheritanc left by d father is up 2 20landed property nd 5cars, al of dis is to b inheritd by d first boy amongs d six leavin d remainin 5wit notin to inherit or get acordin 2 d tradition n culture whc is stil being practicd curently. .unlike d oda couterpart tribes whr if d father left behind one or 2 property wit 6children, d properties wld b sold n shared amongst all of the children regardles of which is d head. .bt if its an 'Igbo' family, d entire property even if it 50 wil b gven to only d first child. . So as an ibo child in a family of 6 which ur ar like d 2nd,3rd,4th,5th or 6th child nd u r father has alot of properties n investment. nd u knowin fuly wel dat if he dies dierx gona b no inheritance 4 u cos u r nt d first born, this fact wil nw motivate u to take ur EYES nd MIND off ur fathers property nd begin to tink on how u too can make it nd hav properties to gv 2 ur children. So as a result of d culture, whc u cnt change, it create a self motivatn 4u to begin 2luk beyond d n find sumtin 2do 4 urself bcox dierx no hope of any inheritance.. So d 2nd,3rd 4th,5th n 6th born begin to find wat dae cn do to help themselvs, removin dier mind frm fatherx inheritance early enough to lunch out to their own self making. .dats y u see in all parts of d nation doin al kinds of busineses. .bt 4 d oda tribes(ds is nt to raise any ethnicity wateva), except 4 a few, They focus nd relax on d inheritance to b shared to them. So at their youngest age they relax putin dier ful confidence in dier fatherx smal property 2b alocatd 2them. No wonda in Lagos. . u c a house built nd rented wit abt 8rooms bt each of d rooms have seperate people colectin d house rent frm d tenants - That is to say a father built d house nd left it as inheritance 4 d kids, so d kids shard d house(rooms) amongs themselves acordin 2 dier custom. Of whc in an igbo lnd its nt posible, dat house is exclusive to d first born even if d first born is late it it wil neva go to hs brothers bt hs own firstborn again. . Wel to me this igbo culture is cruel realy, its makes d head(first child) opres d rest. But in another sense, it has bin d real reason 4 d "I CAN DO SPIRIT IN US". . . Jst tot of sharin ds secret to every1. . .

Kunlebabs375: I only have one reason and that is for us to prove the world powers wrong by 2015 and after

Euroclydon: Beautiful KunleBabs... That is officially number 1 reason... Atleast lets prove this white skulls that their negative expectations of Naija WILL NOT happen. Haba... GEJ or not...We must stick together and forge forward afterall Gold passes thru fire to be refined.

your IQ must be below zero , so because you want to prove something innocent women and children should continue dying? sometimes i agree with the white man that blacks indeed are not different from monkeys . anyway i dont blame you am sure none of your relatives have died in the hands of blood suckers and vampires roaming about nigeria.

Wily+Wily:
But immediately Awolowo became the Finance Minister, Nigeria became to him the only indivisible nation ordained by God.
That small short man conspired with his Yoruba kinsmen and unleashed the worst looting Spree of our National Coffers.

true , the man is a big disgrace.pherhaps he was hoping Gowon will make him civillian president.

beaf will love this

alhaj harem i told you these people are all the same

Lagos – Some 2, 000 members of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Lagos, led by Mr Abdulkareem Rafiu, a former security aide to Gov. Babatunde Fashola, on Saturday defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Rafiu told PDP big wigs and party faithful who were at the state party secretariat in Ikeja, where the defectors were formally accepted, that the ACN had not lived up to expectation.

“I believe the PDP is the party that would bring back the dream Lagos,” Rafiu, popularly called “Otto’’ , said.

NAN reports that on hand to receive the defectors were PDP bigwigs, including its former National Deputy Chairman, South-West, Chief Olabode George, former governor of Ekiti, Mr Segun Oni, and former Minister of Transport, Chief Ebenezer Babatope.

Addressing the defectors and party members at the event, George said that a PDP-led administration would never disappoint the people of Lagos.

“I am delighted that many people in the ranks of the ACN are now seeing the light,” he said.

Oni, who also spoke at the event, informed the gathering that by 2015, PDP would form the next government in Lagos State. He called for unity among the party members.

Earlier in a welcome speech, the state chairman of the party, Chief Tunji Shelle, urged the members to join hands to move the PDP forward.

“Let us move this party to a position in which the teeming masses of Lagos State, who have suffered so much, can find succour,” he said. (NAN)

dayokanu: Go and read about the greatest killing for money in Nigerian history.

Chief Vincent Duru aka Otokoto beheaded master Okechukwu Okonkwo for money

how does that relate to the rampant casses of ritualism happening in the southwest

Callotti: It looks like kidnappers have taken over the Eastern and Southern parts of Nigeria for the most parts.
The Western and Northern parts remain relatively less traumatized by such a menace.

Tells a lot!

Where do PARASITES live again?

did kdnapping not start in the south west? oyo and lagos still have high cases of kidnapping especially for rituals which is even worse. i rather be kidnappend for money in the south and east and be kidnaped and killed for rituals in the south west or be killed for nothing in the north

Cleanman: woah!!...so much thick hatred spewed.@igwe-deshcloner..,y dont u start conquering lagos 4rm mushin or mile 2, or beta stl V.I...its alarming hw so much trash has been posted so far bt maybe what a doctor said abt sm brain not functioning properly on fridays is at least 90% true !

why dont we just focus on how yorubas can stop hausa/fulani slaughtering them both in the north and in yorubaland.

Abagworo: Ika is Ika. Igbo is Igbo. Ika used to be Igbo but now Ika(just like many Igbo groups) are trying out new identity which is allowed because its a free world but using falsehood and sacriledge to substantiate separate identity is what gets me disgusted.

In definition Ika is an Igbo group with heavy Benin influence that has recently chosen to identify themselves as a separate minority. That is why they have always been called Ika-Igbo.

The reason why SE Igbos are worried about Ika and Anioma case in particular is because we accepted the sins committed by their sons as our sin( Otu aka ruo mmanu ozuo aka nile). The bloody "Igbo coup" of 1967 remains the major reason for the plight of Igbos in Nigeria but it is a betrayal if those directly responsible come out to openly deny their identity so that other Nigerians will accept them.

gbam dont mind them , the day we will take their ika identity serious is the day they stop answering igbo names and form their own bini or ika names so that when they go on another adventure nigerians can easily identify them.

agbotaen: who told you ika people need a demented people like your people, you people as still suffering from effects of the war and that is why most of you always behave like bull dogs when people dont accept your ideas, do ika people need igbo ? the answer is no
1. an ika man is amongst the richest nigerians his name is jim ovia , did we need igbo to be that ?
2. an ika man is the head of newspaper proprietors of nigeria ,
3. an ika man is a senator now,
4. an ika man was former special adviser to yardua and jonathan
5. an ika man is a general in the army and the secretary of nigeria army
6. an ika man has been speaker, deputy governor and later acting governor of delta state,
7. in western nigeria , an ika edward anuku was minister, the obi of agbor was a minister, and in midwest we has dr osunhon as minister .
8. ika people have many professors and academics of both national and international repute , do we need the igbo , we dont , and you igbo people should just mind your business and stop counting ika as igbo or else you want another repeat of 1966 treatment.
and as an ika man i would not want to soil my royal hand with a group of people that dont know what royalty means and a people whose majority of citizens worship money .

foolish man stop mentioning igbos when it comes to this your ika madness, its funniy you talk about civil war was it not your ika people that carried out the coup of 1967? was it not your ika peole that murtala muhammed wiped out a whole generation after oba of benin clearly stated the boundry betwen bini people and igbo people(unfortunately they see you as igbos) .how st.upid can you get . for the last time you and becomrich should stop mentioning igbo people go to yorubas and bini they need you we dont .

when murtala muhammed was wiping out ika people why didnt they run to bini ? why did they run to south east ? why didnt their ancestors the bini save them or at least indicated that ikas are bini. i pity people like you , even though in reality ika claim to be igbo but this your madness in nairaland is begining to piss a lot of igbos off, maybe you ika should start bearing bini names so that next time to go carry out a coup igbos wont be pointed at

Our correspondent, who visited the scene of the crisis on Thursday, learnt that the violent clash between the members of the two ethnic groups began on Wednesday night following a disagreement between two unidentified men over a commercial sex worker

na wa oo over common ashawo

op your talking about enugu , if ur thinking of doing buisness then you can consider owerri and asaba too cus they are all close to commercial cities like aba and onitsha so u can easily go do buisness and come back by afternoon without stress . i would have have recommended calabar too but its an isolated city , the nearest cities to it are hours apart and not much commercial activities going on there.come join us in enugu you wont regret it, it might be too quiet for u if ur coming from lagos or ph but when u start making new friends or get married and start raising your kids you will appreciate this lovely town ,its as if it was built for families and also bachelors cus there are plenty of beautiful well brought up educated girls to choose from (especially igbo,efik and ibibio girls ).

ndahbros1: @ OP:

PORT HARCOURT IS NOT AN EASTERN CITY.
IT IS IN THE SOUTH-SOUTH OF NIGERIA.

mugu

Logic Mind: Onitsha is the best place to be in the east if you hate boredom. All those other places may look good but they are full of lazy boring people. You may like it the first few weeks but afterwards, the law of diminishing return sets in. In Onitsha, there's always something happening somewhere, always something to do. Very easy to make money. Your offsprings brought up in onitsha are generally wiser than their counterparts in every other city.

So, if you want a live city, go to onitsha. If you want a retirement home, go to enugu or calabar.

said a peaceful city and not a chaotic city .

alj harem: This dangote vs Ibeto issue is NOT a hausa vs Igbo thing. Chai !!!! see naija mentality, very backwards.

I understand what most posters here are complaining here about. Monopoly is not good for any economy. Not withstanding you cannot blame Dangote for have a monopoly in some certain sectors in our economy.

Lets encourage dangote and ibeto, Nigeria and indeed africa market is large enough for 2 monopolist if they so wish.

Abeg make I think of how i go be monopolist myself

first time your posting something reasonable in a long time.

THE Onitsha Market in Anambra State has been described as the busiest and biggest market in the world by an American firm.
The representatives of Carlton Company, who were in the city to interact with their customers, spoke yesterday.
Leader of the team, Geoff Peters, addressed reporters in Onitsha shortly after an interaction with their customers in the market.
Peters said Onitsha had remained the company’s greatest customer in Africa, adding that the company was satisfied with the level of awareness on the need for genuine and quality products.
http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/news/25183-%E2%80%98onitsha-biggest-market-worldwide%E2%80%99.html



Onitsha City in Anambra State is the 5th fastest growing city in the world. It is the biggest market in West Africa, the economic nerve center of Nigeria and the gateway to Eastern Nigeria (UN Habitat, 2009). Due to its rapid pace of growth and its projected growth rate, it is experiencing tremendous transportation challenges.

In some northern states less than 5% of women can read and write, whereas in some Igbo areas more than 90% are literate.

for those that missed that of literacy , imo states takes the lead followed by anambra of course

Anambra poverty rate lowest in Nigeria �NAPEP

[Post a Comment]

ACHILLEUS-CHUD UCHEGBU (Abuja Bureau Chief)

National Coordinator of National Poverty Eradication Programme (NAPEP), Dr. Magnus Kpakol, has rated Anambra state high as the state with the lowest poverty rate among all the states in the country.
Kpakol, who said this in an exclusive interview with Daily Champion in Abuja, noted that the level of private enterprise in Anambra put the state on the top echelon of the ladder of efforts by states to eradicate poverty.
He said though Bayelsa state is thought to have the lowest poverty rate in the country, statistics have shown that Anambra is actually topping the ladder.
�Statistically, we rank Bayelsa state as having the lowest poverty rate in the country. But in its purest sense, Anambra state has the lowest poverty rate in the country and that is because of the level of private enterprise and commitment to private enterprise there,� he said.
On the need for private enterprise to lead the battle to eradicate poverty in the country, Kpakol said the only way poverty can be eradicated in any society is for greater private sector activity that would create more jobs and allow government the freedom to concentrate on infrastructure development.
He said the private sector holds the key to poverty eradication in the country adding that excessive dependence of government will not help the poverty situation.
He said: �We have to understand that the key to fighting poverty in the country is private enterprise. We must promote private enterprise in the country. I think that the government in Nigeria has been too involved in everything. It is too heavy. That should not be.
�Private enterprise is the key to fighting poverty long term. There has been too much centralization. Excessive centralization and excessive government involvement crowd out ingenuity and private enterprise.
�We need to continue to make it possible for people to be engaged in private enterprise. That�s the way to fight poverty. If we do that, we will be able to create jobs and free government to provide infrastructure like roads, electricity and becomes more like a referee. That is basically what government should involve in while private enterprise propels the engine for economic growth and redemption,� he said.
Kpakol, who would want more wealthy Nigerians to get involved in the effort to alleviate poverty by creating job opportunities, however frowned at a situation where government is made to fund the purchase of tricycles (Keke) as a poverty alleviation measure.
He said government should not have any business buying and distributing tricycles to Nigerians.
�I do not think government should be buying tricycles for people. I don�t think it should be that way. I inherited the programme. I think also that it has done well, but again, I believe that time probably has come when it should be completely privatized.�Micro finance banks can buy Keke and sell with support from state governments. I understand state governments subsidize other agricultural inputs. They can also do that with Keke. Honestly, this programme should be owned by the private sector. I do not think the federal government should continue to buy tricycles and distribute to people. I don�t think so,� he noted.
He however differed with those who are critical of the tricycles as a poverty alleviation measure and its costs stating that critics of Keke should also look at the demand side of it and realize how hotly in demand they are among Nigerians.
�Keke has been useful to the people that have benefited from the programme. When some people think we should not have it, they should also look at the demand side. Peoples demand for Keke is high, both for passenger operations and as profit making business. I am aware that there are some Keke that are selling in the private sector for well over N600, 000 and people are buying them. And they are not from NAPEP,� he said.
He frowned at allegation of fund mismanagement at NAPEP noting that the fund has to be available before it could be mismanaged.
He said allegations that funds belonging to NAPEP were misapplied and for which the Senate indicted him, were absolute lies, adding that at no time did the Senate indict him as reported in some dailies.
�Before, they accused me of taking money meant for Keke. you hear someone writing in the newspapers that I gave him a dud cheque and that was why he could not produce the Keke in time. First, I want people to know this. The minister never writes cheques. I do not know the colour of our cheque. I have never seen a NAPEP cheque book. I do not know what it looks like.
�When I came here, we had a permanent secretary and he used to sign cheques. I stopped it. I said it was wrong for someone who checks our accounts to also sign cheques. I stopped it. I don�t sign cheques. And then someone goes to town to accuse me of issuing him a dud cheque. I cannot even tell my accountants to write a dud cheque. There is no way he can write a dud cheque because he is a professional and has his integrity to protect.
�So, I even imagine why people even say certain things. I will not even go to the extent of saying such a thing, accusing a minister of giving me a dud cheque for fear of exposing much stupidity. There are things you say and people will see you as silly. There is no way a government official can issue a dud cheque to its contractors. It beats my imagination how anyone thinks I could issue anybody a dud cheque. I can�t do such a thing.
�The same person also accused me of owning a facility which costs N470 million. In some places he said it costs N450 million. So, I don�t even know which is correct. However, it is simple to prove. Just show a CAC document showing me or listing anyone related to me, who can be pointed at as my proxy, as a director of the company, as a proof that I own the company,� he said.
