onomeasike: Asari-Dokubo could not be reached for comments. But his spokesperson, Comrade Rex Anighoro, said: “On the surveillance contract, it is not an issue for Alhaji (Asari). Ateke Tom is the chairman of the company. Ipalibo Gagogo Farah is the Secretary and Alhaji Asari-Dokubo and Soboma Jackrich are members.”


These guys,particularly Ateke Tom are barely literate yet gej handed our common wealth to them largely because most educated unemployed graduates who constitue a large percentage of nigerian youths are intellectually lazy and cowardly.The same thing will play out at the end of boko hara-FG dialogue.In Nigeria,it seems school is meant for the weak .

This is a sign of failure. You are not a smart businessman. Stop complaining and discouraging others from applying. A serious businessman would have begin or commence full business operation with or without the money. But i do not support the withholding of the money by whoever.

berem: WTF is this dude saying? Abeg make pesin hear word! Peace loving people my left azz! Mtscheeeew!

this is why some of you will never prosper in life. Insulting an elder and a literary giant like elechi amadi is not good.

We should be seeing things like 'fg encourage operators of illegal refineries to form a consortium'/
'fg empower operators of illegal refineries technically and legally' and not the other way round.

Govt should encourage owners of this refineries to legalise their business instead blocking their source of livelihood and increasing unemployment. Haba mana

Until govt address the problem in the oil industry i dare say that illegal refinery has come to stay.

Dele.ahmed:
bigtt76: what contribution will illegal Refinaries add to the development of our economy in this country? It's better they are flushed out for the government to have a way forward.

Dudu_Negro: Ezeife only went as far back as the independence, 1960!

...the challenges and struggles of creating a new national identity for the people began in 1906.

1. The first foothold for the colonial goverment was Lagos. From here they created a Lagos colony in 1900. This was the administrative center for all of Yorubaland .

2. Next you have the Niger Coast protectorate or what they called Oil Rivers protectorate.

3. There were chartered territories umder management of Royal Niger Company. Some of these territories were situated between Lokoja and Oil Rivers and was called Southern protectorate.

4. Then you have the Northern protectorate. Its capital was in Zungeru.

------------------------------

First they reduced they collapsed Southern protectorate and Niger Coast protectoratep and called it Southern Nigeria protectorate.....its capital was in Calabar.

In 1906 they combined Lagos Colony and Southern protectorates to form Colony and Southern protectorate of Nigeria.....and made Lagos the capital. This was done for missionary or religious reasons.

So now there are two protecorates.

In 1914 they combined the Northern protectorate and the Southern protectorates. This combination was done for economic reasons.

The amalgaation of 1906 was problematic and it has been argued that beside the economic reason given for the North/South amalgamation, the truth was that British realized their understanding of the natives was being tested and the promise to unite West and East was falling apart and the people were un-Unifiable. Each ethnic language was better off left separate and independent. Therefore the Colony and Southern Protectorate was sub divided into three administrative capitals Lagos, Warri and Calabar. This did not bring about the unity they had hoped.....fearing they might loose sections of the cpuntry to the French, they forgo finding solutions for ill-feelings amongst the Southern people and instead expanded the territory by lumping the disharmonious culture of the Southerners with that of Northerners and further creating disharmony and chaos..

They should have reversed the 1906 error, instead they amplified it in 1914. In 1953/54, there were high tensions between the regions. The mistrust of 1906, 1914 continued to live with us till 1960 and beyond.

...we dont need to hope and work for a futufe unity. It wont work., it has been hope and expectations since 1906 and still in 2012 we are hoping.

Ezeife should advice on ways to reverse this false unity, and not join in to encourage disillusion for the youths.

what are you insinuating here.

I believe nigeria is more holy than any country today

What do you intend to change nigeria to

Dat one don pass, abeg wake up

Civil servant are more technically corrupt.

Good to hear this. So the award is not even honourable afterall

odumchi: Ali Ngwa thirsts for the governorship.

tribal politics and zoning have lead promoting of mediocrity. I support ukwa/ngwa for governorship but do we have credible and visionary leaders even in the entire abia now.

The man to watchout for is nnamdi aja nwankwo. He is a passionate and visionary youngman. The only big obstacle is this zoning stuff in abia.
