@edoyad
Talk is cheap. Time for bluffing has passed, seek out those figures and confess to me where our states are relative to each other. In fact, I want to know which state tops Delta. Una tink say development na mouth and flowers.

babapupa:
I guess your answer is nothing to show,

Same talk talk rhetoric as usual,

No, I challenged you to tell us where your state is in terms of the Human Development Index (HDI). This figures are measurable and easy to obtain, I just want you to seek them out yourself.

Don't run away. I won't let you off easily.

The challenge is on.

edoyad:
@beaf  if warri nor dey carry last, why don't they establish their media houses in Delta, why come go to Lagos ? Or warri people can't read ?
Recently they were talking about the phenomenal achievements of Lagos state at a tax conference where it was revealed that Lagos now receives 16b Naira a month from tax collection, do you know what our good friend the gov'nor of Delta said was part of his own achievements ? He said that a lot of money was going towards fueling the generators that power the street lights he installed in Delta. My brother and  couldn't stop laughing, a country where There's no power in peoples homes and businesses, and yet you're talking about powering street lights with generators.   they say a people deserve their govt. i guess

Incredible!
I don't know the sort of person that laughs at street lights. Don't you know their purpose?

Like so many other things, our street lights are reliable.
Join babapupa in his homework; find out the Human Development Index (HDI) for each state in Nigeria; then lets discuss why Delta state comes tops by such a margin.

babapupa:
Who is trying to take away your minority status? lol.

So, why are your media folks not using their immense resources to unearth the goodies you're straining hard to come up with beside the swimming pool and road side picture you posted? Why are your people aggrieved that their is zero development in the delta. Oh, I forgot, it's the federal government responsibility, not your elected officials,

Ndo, e go better one day,

Talk is cheap, Delta state people talk little.

Delta state happens to be far ahead of your state in measurable human indexes, immunisation, child mortality, GDP per capita, life expectancy etc. We regularly trounce you guys with the highest JAMB scores and the number of university admissions for the number of applications. Let that be your homework, find out the Human Development Index (HDI) for each state in Nigeria; tell me which state comes tops and by what margin .

But, hey! You think development is planting flowers and converting area boys to lastma; we value the development of the individual in Delta state, yes we value the everyday hard working woman and and man. . . Much, much more than flowers.

I laugh in Igbo, Isoko, Itsekiri, Izon, Urhobo and the many other great Delta state ethnicities not mentioned.

babapupa:
Right now, they can not clarify anything, the achievements are buried under ground and they need to get hold of reporters from lagos state to unearth and exposed them to the people, All they have for now is just talk talk,

My friend, half the press in Lagos is owned by Delta state people. Calm down, we might be minorities, but we no dey carry last!

edoyad:
These ones mentioning Rivers and  Delta states, let them clarify if the ones in Nigeria before i can start laughing in earnest.  

What exactly do you want to laugh about Delta state? You will end up the one being laughed at.

I also want to know which states you will be comparing Delta state to. I'm ready, lets go .

olafolarin:
So with your intelligence,only street wide-screen TV,Church complex and Hotel swimming pool makes Uduaghan the best governor.

I am amazed with your display of stupidity.

Fashola definitely leads the pack with his visionary leadership and the execution of the new lagos Masterplan which will turn lagos into Africa's new Mega city.

In Fashola's world,other governors including Uduaghan and rotimi are migdets.

Only a fool abuses others for cheap reasons. Look in the mirror, clown.
I don't care much about your choice, [size=14pt]Uduaghan is the best governor in Nigeria[/size], let it kill you .

Forget all this rubbish!
The best gov is Uduaghan of Delta

Sorry, but rouge is a type of red, or a red pigment. It certainly isn't the same as "rogue".

So, let us fast and pray to be able to apply our brains and apply ourselves . Absurd?

1luvkipsus:
Is he that very important 2 be asked for here at nairaland?

If he wasn't that important, he wouldn't have been singled out for special treatment by the presidency.

Yar Adua's daughter has gone to have the kid in the US because that child will become a US CITIZEN one day. They don't care about Nigeria.

becomerich: What kind of statement is that. I know I am right for posting the satellite pictures. I think churches should also stand by my side and the satellite pictures. Any church who against me , is the church of satan. because God stand for truth. And I am standing for truth. And any sincere church should stand for me and this satellite pictures. . .

Let look at it from a Godly point of view. if Jesus was in our position and understand the issue in Nigeria that it may lead to civil war. What do you think Jesus would do so that there would be peace in Nigeria and avoid a civil war.

Will Jesus  ?
a. Force electoral reform through on Northerners and that start a civil war .
b. Try to resolve it peaceful by moving the yorubas, edo, delta and bayelsa into benin republic to make the north majority to avoid a civil war.

Will jesus pick A or B?

Look there is no passport in heaven. There is no Nigeria passport or Benin republic passport.

Good news!
. . .yorubas, edo, delta and bayelsa finally make it to benin republic and make north majority to avoid civil war for oil!!!!

I dont trust anyone in the FG receiving $50bn in a lump sum. . . . usually, when money comes in lump sums to Naija, it goes missing. . . . think Babangida and the PTDF which disappeared into thin air. . .

Exactly! Next thing, we will hear that all the oil from the concerned oil blocks has been sold for the next 20 years or so (like what they did with gas). Meanwhile money go done go.

kidonig:
Hi Beaf,

Are you serious? is there a place where I can go online to read more about what happened to him?

I found a couple of links.

As to where he is, I don't know. But you have raised a very good question, we need to be on our toes, especially concerning his state of health.
We are too disconnected from each other in Nigeria. No love. It isn't the same in other countries, something is very wrong with us.[size=14pt] Do we even care about each other?[/size]

Well done kidonig, you are setting a good example.

I am serious. Google his name, something is bound to come up.

puskin:
BTW, who the hell is piloting this ship cal'd Nigeria cos Im damn sure it ain't Jonathan.

Those who have been piloting it all this time, because Yar Adua sure has never been well enough to grasp the wheel.
We have an ill man caged in by the greed of hangers on, their weapon? A booby trapped constituition designed by Abacha and IBB for their [b]life [/b]presidency's.

chosen04:
Who is he? Not sure i have heard that name b/4

He is a very intelligent, courageous, truthful, no holds barred investigative reporter. . . The FG didn't like him, they threatened AIT. . . And he was gone.
This happened about 2 months ago or thereabouts.

He is by far, my favourite political analyst.

bibiking1:
You are all getting it wrong! The dude works for the satellite company that helps all these stations transmit to the world! Am i on track Becomerich?

Becomerich is currently on the moon fixing satellite camera's , so he's reply will take a while.

When the powers that be withold information on the man we "voted" into power, why are they surprised that the rumour mill has become an overheating industry?

Even when Cuba's strongman, Fidel Castro was ill, the whole World saw his hospital pictures (and Cuba is no democracy); when he fell on one occasion and collapsed on another, the whole World was informed of what was going on.

[size=14pt]Yar’Adua’s family threatens to sue media houses[/size]
By Zacheaus Somorin, 12.08.2009
Tuesday, December 8, 2009

The family of President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua said yesterday that it would not hesitate to institute legal action against any media house that continues to report the president's health maliciously.

A statement signed by ''The President's Sister'' , Hajia Mairo Musa Yar'Adua, on behalf of the family said its attention has been drawn to ''the false, malicious and obviously sponsored media reports that suggested that the president's mother, Hajia Dada Habib Yar'Adua asked Mr President to resign from office on account of ill health.

The reports, according to Hajia Mairo insinuated that Hajia Yar’Adua is disagreeing  with the President’s wife, Turai, whom the newspapers claimed was urging the President to sit tight, saying there was no time that the president's mother suggested so.

“To put the records straight, the President’s mother has never spoken to the media.  She enjoys a cordial relationship with her daughter-in-law, Turai. The president’s mother contrary to media reports is supportive of Mr President’s foray into politics and has always encouraged him to render selfless service to the good people of Nigeria” the family said.   

The family also said that instead of the media turning itself into malleable tools of ''blackmail by disgruntled politicians'' it should rather ''cross check facts before going to press” most especially at “this critical stage of the nation’s development.

Sequel to this,  Hajia Mairo Yar’Adua has instructed all the media houses “responsible for these falsehoods to retract the misleading reports and apologize to the family or face legal action”.

Yeah, I was going to say exactly that. He has been one of the most serious voices up North and at one point, a potential for the presidency for 2011.
I think its just the current internecine war up North (about Yar Adua's succession) thats claiming its first high profile victim.

Its always annoying when women post pictures of people they think are beautiful. . . Because they ain't got a clue!

@Beaf, I mentioned Australia because you went on about how they are the leding country in solar research. Would it be unreasonable to then look at what they are doing to judge the feasibility of your postulations? As a matter of fact such would show that we do have a brain. Most research isn't done fromt thin air. You do a literature review first and see what is already on the ground and what progress has been made, so you don't have to wait to rediscover fire.

Don't be dishonest. You started the whole Australia thing.

Australia was first mentioned in this thread by you (right here https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-363669.0.html#msg5074067). Anybody can search the topic for Australia and see that for themselves.
If you want info, ask for it properly, instead of instigating phoney arguments.

I have never been for copying technology. Instead, that has all been you.

yeswecan:
What are you talking about hacked into what data when IGLO agreed to the emails yesterday on CNN.

If some scientists were being fraudulent about the position they held, does that mean the World isn't warming? I don't get this argument.

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=363206.msg5078476#msg5078476 date=1260372269]I don't disagree with  with most of what you wrote above.  Ultimately, every state should indeed be responsible for its own revenue. My proposal will simply help move us in that direction. 

As a practical matter, if the feds abruptly stop sharing national revenues with the states, it could conceivably result to the deaths of thousands, if not millions of people.  State governments should be weaned from this dependence in the most beneficial manner.

What do you mean by "ban religion"?.  Every Nigerian should enjoy freedom of association and should be free to practice whatever religion.[/quote]I am sure that the ND wouldn't be averse to providing loans, grants and cooperation for a given period (brokered by an international body), after which everyone will be on their own. But we can't go on the way we currently are.
Even the oil producing states need to diversify (as is currently going on slowly in Rivers and Delta states).

All of you spreading silly conspiracy theories. Please tell us what the West would gain by de-industralising? Please create an easy list of points or shut up and stop spreading dangerous and braindead flat Earth theories.

The auto and oil industries alone are worth trillions of dollars. . . I don't even know where to start talking to people who want to think without applying simple logic.

Do you know how much energy the average Westerner consumes compared to the PHCN blighted average Nigerian? Believe me, if you knew, you would understand that to the West, current proposals amount to a total dismantling of current lifestyle and culture. How the hell is that some drugged up conspiracy against Africa that has even began to consume energy in any notable way?

Every religiousl fanatic and confirmed fool wakes up these days, thinking they are proclaiming Gods word to "sinners".

Fu cking crackpots.

Pharoh:
Simply because in Nigeria we are not members of the same family.

Beaf that one na big project so make you no rush start am ooo, there are many things involved.

True, thats why its not started yet.
We will need to parley a bit on what the structures, methods and procedures will be.
