₦airaland Forum

NigeriaKwenu: You're a mod, so your thought process is fixed and is determined by the nairaland board of directors. can't you think for yourself? Just see what you wrote up there.

The mods should first be mindful of the way they engage Nairaland members. Respect they say is reciprocal. if they don't respect themselves and members of this forum then they should not expect respect from anybody.

Mr. Globe:
lol........ why are people taking NL seriously like there is money to be made off handles. If you are banned move on with another I'd. like me, I dont hope to be banned but Mr. globe2 is in the parking lot with THE SAME SIGNATURE!! if the mod's don't want insults then should act logically and not be partisañ. This personalization of public businesses in Nigeria is the reason Nigeria businesses don't live long. Why has OAMJ or whatever or mukina never been banned or saçked yet for their numerous tribalism on ñairalànd. o yes tell me its a family business and its Yoruba. That's why NL remains annonymous and will never grow beyond where it is today

Demdem: @ Poster.

U are banned for life.
reason: for insulting nairaland owner's sweetie

NigeriaKwenu: Whether useful or not, you don't just create a thread without any views or comments and take it to the frontpage except you're a dictator. Why can we go back to the way it used to be when the most trending topics are the ones that make it to the frontpage.

Abagworo: You sound kind of ignorant. You earlier wrote that Nnewi and Onitsha has more industries than Aba and I just mentioned a few popular everyday products we use manufactured in Aba. Let me add to the list. Thermocool, Close up, Imperial leather, 7up, Colgate. These are all verifiable.

Abagworo: Please can you list what is manufactured in Onitsha. I know Palm olive soap, Tura soap, Omo, Elephant, Harp, Star, Guiness, Seamans schnapp and some other known products are manufactured in Aba. I do not like arguments based on hear say or personal feelings.

U.Cyril:
Afikpo

ayo011: I agree with you on this.

Onitsha takes it all; both commercial, economic and industrialized, Onitsha wins it. Infact Onitsha has more bank branches than Warri, Zaria and Aba put together. Economy, commercialization and industrialization determines financial institutions migration.

afam4eva: Nice one.

I like the fact that she's a rookie. Which means she still has a long future. We need someone to step into the shoes of Udoka.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry warned Nigeria on Thursday of potential damage to bilateral relations and urged action against a court decision that stripped the world’s largest aluminium producer, Russia’s Rusal, of its core African asset.

Nigeria’s supreme court ordered last week that Rusal, which owns 85 percent of the formerly state-run Aluminium Smelter Company of Nigeria (ALSCON), should cede its ownership, because the assets should have gone to another bidder, U.S. based BFI Group, when ALSCON was privatised five years ago.

Rusal said the ruling was against Nigeria’s Bureau of Public Enterprise (BPE), which handled the privatisation and gave Rusal the green light to acquire the stake for $205 million in 2007. The decision would thus not affect its ownership of ALSCON, the company said.

“The ruling could … to a significant extent undermine Russian-Nigerian investment and economic cooperation and incur negative consequences for the whole scope of bilateral ties,” the ministry said in a statement on its website www.mid.ru.

“We urge the Nigerian government to take the necessary actions in order to prevent potential damage to the existing fruitful and mutually beneficial relations,” the statement said.

BFI, headed by American-Nigerian Reuben Jaja, took BPE to court, saying the agency breached its contract. The supreme court ruling last week ordered that BPE revert to the original preferred bidder and BFI Group pay the agreed price of $410 million for ALSCON.

Oleg Deripaska, the controlling shareholder of Rusal, is a billionaire who has long enjoyed close ties with the Kremlin. The aluminium giant received billions of dollars in state bailout funds after the 2008 global financial crash.

ALSCON is one of Rusal’s key African assets with annual project capacity of 120,000 tonnes, however its operations have been hampered by regular electricity cuts allowing ALSCON to produce only 15,000 tonnes of aluminium last year, a company spokeswoman said.

Nigeria, Africa’s biggest oil producer, is like Russia plagued by rampant corruption. Both share 143rd position in the 2011 corruption perception index of 182 countries compiled by Transparency International.

Guyman02: Na only beer factories I dey see for South East FDIs. Make the people just dey drink dey stagger. My only anger is that the man in the north who forbids alcohol because of Sharia will collect his share from taxes collected from beer drinkers without asking the FG to remove it from their allocation
