PROUDIGBO:
Is there any official document showing how much Zamfara gold has contributed to the federation account? If so, i’m yet to see it!

You've never looked it up either. Only legal gold mining is taxed BTW. Anything done illegal won't be obviously.

greatiyk4u:
There is no state in Nigeria without average of 50k igbos, this is the reason state of origin, tribe and LG of origin are exempted in the sham census.

Without there parameters included, me and my household are not partaking

Well State of Origin and residence are included in the NIN. You could test out your hypothesis 50k Igbos live in every state. Again I just love how confidently you guys throw around these figures. At least you admit this is all conjecture on your part.

tbarrister:
The southwest are a religious mix And its hard to see which religion has more adherents but in the northwest the whole 7 states are muslim majority. It would have been 99% if not for kaduna which has a sizeable Christian population of 35%-40%

Are you telling me you arrived at your conclusions based on observations and or anecdotal evidence?

tbarrister:
Lol see arrogance and ignorance . Muslims are 95% of the northwest which is by far the most populous region The southwest is hard to decipher because places like oyo, osun have more muslims, places like ondo and ekiti have more Christians and the ogun have a split population

The North central is Muslim dominated and unlike the liberal southwest they play religious politics here and the last election was an example. Kogi, niger, kwara, nasarawa are Muslim dominated and thats why no matter the bad governance Muslims always emerge as governors here. You can check the senators too. Then Benue and plateau are Christian dominated..

Lol I love how everyone Confidentiality proclaims these figures. What method did you decipher the 95% in The NW and why can't you replicate it in the SW? What makes the SW harder in particular.

MasterTeeUSA:
I was speaking to someone about this issue of Agberos, and I told the person...Governance is like whac-a-mole. If you solve one problem, another rises. That is why I was praying GRV does not win because he would have turned Lagos into chaos...even those in Lekki would not be able to stay clear of major issues.

If you eliminate Agberos, what will you do with thousands of guys? Retrain then...some of them are drug addicts and drunkards...there is a reason they are doing agberos and I doubt they can do any formal education. What about artisan work? Have you seen some of these guys..you think they will learn plumbing or agriculture and wait for harvest and yields or for someone to call them for work before they can eat?

Lock them up in Jail...how many prisons will you build, how many staff, cost of feeding them and getting all of them through the court systems would be a major disaster.

I don't care about your solutions. If your state wants to implement them that's fine. Your argument about jailing criminals leading to disaster is wrong. Jailing criminals serves as a deterrent to crime because it increases the risk for the same reward. Yes it does cost money to feed and House prisoners. It's worth it if safety and commerce are uninhibited by criminals.

Assuming you you 7.1k criminals in one prison you'll need 900 employees. I doubt you have that many Agberos in the state. Why you criminal enablers act like prison isn't a viable option is perplexing. These people can sober up in Jail and learn skills if they want to. Nigeria needs more judges, prisons and criminals locked away.

I really do t understand why the census wouldn't ask this question along with ethnic demographics. I've always said knowing this information is great, especially to understand disparities in income education, and crime. The crime statistics are hidden from the public but people don't care.

ImmaculateJOE:
I'm of the opinion that Christians has slightly population advantage over Muslims..

Reason been that Christians are overwhelming majority in SE & SS.. Slightly majority in SW & NC, and has an average numbers in 4 out of the remaining 13 states in NE & NW (Adamawa, Taraba, Gombe, & Kaduna states)..

How did you arrive at this conclusion? Is this anecdotal information or did you get it empirically.

Omooba77:
Niger is not up to a state in Nigeria.......

It doesn't matter if the country is up to a state in Nigeria. If you read your own article you'd see most places mentioned aren't. What determines if these wages are sustainable is workers productivity. Niger Republics minimum wage is slightly lower. $60 per month compared to Nigeria's $68.

Omooba77:
Other countries with low minimum wages, besides Uzbekistan, Nigeria, and India, include Pakistan ($111), Kazakhstan ($131), Armenia ($138) the Philippines ($141), Ukraine ($146), Vietnam ($162), Indonesia ($173), Moldova ($180), Azerbaijan ($186) and Thailand ($195).

mrrandomguy:
It depends on the part of middlebelt actually.

What is miscegenation law?

Anti miscegenation laws are laws that ban people of different ethnic groups or races from marriage. The goal is to prevent race or ethnic mixing.

mrrandomguy:
Christians are more in the South and middlebelt.

They will do all they can to take over Lagos and their major weapon is inter-tribal marriage.

Lol, the middle belts religious affiliation is another classic debate amongst weirdos on this website.

Are you in support of anti miscegenation laws?

Lol I hope they respect foia request. I do get tired of the howling retards on this website arguing endlessly about whether the religious affiliation is 50:50 Muslims to Christians or 60:40 Muslims to Christians in the country. At least if they answer you'll have a huge sample size and know everything down to what local government they live in.

Anyone that's interested in finding out what the religious affiliation break down of the population should make a FOIA request to National Identity Management Commission. If you've got an NIN number you'll know it's one of the questions they ask people to fill out. The information also segments state of origin and residence, so it should be accurate. Assuming they honor the FOIA request this would be a good estimate for the country.

A Better suggestion

I doubt they will though.

Abjinvest:
Among the original owners of the present day Ondo State are the Ijaws. Arguably the 4th largest ethnic group in Nigeria.

Among the 18 local govts in Ondo State, the Ijaws own Ese-Odo LGA. In recent times without paying mind to diversity, the yoruba led govt had adopted a yoruba anthem for the state, thereby cutting off the indigenous Ijaws who bring more to the state as their local govt is one out of the only two oil producing areas in the state.

Nigerians must rise up and condemn this evil

Why don't you guys just secede and join the neighboring Ijaw majority state. I personally think this issue is petty nonsense but if it bothers yall so much just leave. It's better you're not around but the tax revenue is sweet. If you're good at something other than ranting online try organizing the effort in real life. Here are the constitutional provisions how.

An Act of the National Assembly for the purpose of boundary adjustment of any existing State shall only be passed if- 

(a) a request for the boundary adjustment, supported by two-thirds majority of members (representing the area demanding and the area affected by the boundary adjustment) in each of the following, namely- 

(i) the Senate and the House of Representatives, 

(ii) the House of Assembly in respect of the area, and 

(iii) the local government councils in respect of the area. is received by the National Assembly; and 

(b) a proposal for the boundary adjustment is approved by - 

(i) a simple majority of members of each House of the National Assembly, and 

(ii) a simple majority of members of the House of Assembly in respect of the area concerned

Omooba77:
Nigeria has the lowest minimum wage in the world, says a recent report by Picodi, a global e-commerce company.

The report, which examined the minimum wages received by workers in 67 countries on six continents (Asia, Africa, North, and South America, Europe, and Asia) as of January 2023

Just a PSA the company only mentioned Nigerias and South Africa's minimum wage. I don't think Nigeria has the lowest if you compare it to neighbors like Niger Republic.

Arda1000:
are u okay?
you get employed because you have the skill.... isnt that how it is done in a saner clime?
dumb goofs like u are the reason why this con3 can never go forward

Lol you're cleanly a dunce because you only absorbed half the point. If you're skilled you don't need to worry about minimum wage because your skill set demands a wage above that. Even if an employee doesnt have all the skills necessary they'll get on the job training.

There's key pieces of information being left out. What's the productivity of the Nigerian worker? Your productivity determines your pay in any business. How long does the average worker earn minimum wage. If an employee makes minimum wage they probably have minimum skills.

Why don't states increase their minimum wages above the federal minimum? The federal minimum wage in America is $7.25.

Bashet:
What's even the essence of the census?

Invest the money in something productive!

The census helps with planning by gathering demographic data. Its also a factor that determines how much allocation a states and local government get.

They beat my father to the extent he fainted saveral time, even after we paid 10k so they won't beat him. His body is full of injuries now and he is currently on treatment.

After the whole thing, the family and community charge him to pay #3 million which includes cow, 4 goats drinks and the rest of them, this fees should be paid to them on the 10th of April, which is next month.

Assuming this story isn't total nonsense you're a coward. Call the police and have your criminal family members thrown I'm jail. You should know assuault and extortion are illegal. You don't pay bullies because they will simply extort you for more funds.

You weirdos can finally stop arguing after the census is conducted. Nobody bothers to quantify how many people are in each group. This is pure foolishness.

Do any of you support making organ sales legal in Nigeria? Maybe Iran has the right policy on this issue.

True federalism can lead to a disjointed system of policy making across states that can create discrepancies in civil rights protections and economic opportunities. For example, one state might have progressive laws related to reproductive rights while another might have very restrictive laws. Additionally, true federalism can lead to unequal access to resources such as quality health care due to unequal tax burden or funding for education. This means certain populations are at a disadvantage in terms of getting quality healthcare or education when compared to others.

Everything mentioned here is a feature not a bug. People are allowed to move between states it doesn't matter. The politics of state will simply reflect the cultural and political values of the people of that State. Equality isn't a virtue in a vacuum. Resources being land, labor, and capital aren't equal to begin to begin with. Also people don't demand same amount of government programs. They're always going to be hierarchy in terms to access to quality healthcare and education.

States have to compete for business and people. These are incentives to be sensible about policies in theory. Businesses are first to leave when it's financially convenient. If all else fails sections of states can Succeed and join another state.

CXLVII:
It’s not about location, it’s about the plan of the donor!

The donor will still do same in any location!

The donor had a master plan before leaving Nigeria and will execute it anywhere!

Only luck would have been that, He would be able to bribe his way out in country’s like Iran

If the donor is an adult and then there's no issue. If you're saying he has more money to bribe Iran with that's not true. All they'd need to be is transparent and law abiding. The facilities are in place there to make sure this isn't an issue. If they weren't engaging in criminal schemes they wouldn't be in this mess.

shortgun:
The UK is highly biased in this case... it's glaring.

I wonder when we'll cease to accept standards from slave masters

What's biased about their ruling? Are you in favor of Iran laws?

Front page: Mynd44 Lalasticlala

Mundane knowledge can mean the difference between a prison sentence and failed business deal. The only reason they are in the situation they're in because they are foolish and crooked. Assuming they found a willing adult seller, they could've gone to Iran for the procedure.

PS: Does anyone find it weird neither parent was an organ match? I'd like to assume they'd volunteer their organs to their daughter before going the criminal route.

Is Nairaland only about the South?
Look at the Frontpage

The recent cowardly change in Editorial direction on front page is not unnoticed
THE OWNER has not shown self awareness enough to recognise his strengths and weaknesses and to get
PROFESSIONAL HELP for editorial balance.

Truth is Suen sucks at running his website. He could be copy other sites like N4G or Twitter where stories that trend are based on engagement with the post. There's no algorithm so this issue won't be solved. Lol don't expect him to do it anytime soon.

Fren232:
All those seats you mentioned would have been won by PDP. APC wouldn't have won any of them. By winning them instead of PDP, you make APC stronger.

Can you explain the logic behind saying PDP not winning seats makes APC stronger. This logic only works if we assume PDP and LP won't form coalitions with each other. I'm not assuming it would happen all the time since they don't have the same agenda on every policy matter.

Dolphinhit:
Igbos in Lagos should refuse to be counted in Lagos. Kindly go back to the South East & be counted, or refuse to be counted in Lagos. Population head count affects resource allocation. Since the APC disenfranchised you from voting, deny them the numbers. They can rig that as well.

Lol this will be a funny move. You guys will cut your nose to spite your face assuming you co tinue living there.

🥱 wake me up when they override a veto or something similar to that they effect. Lol does anyone know an instance of state assembly overriding a veto?

1stGenAmerican:
He refuses to provide proof because he isn’t telling the truth. Look at the size of the paper bag behind the container or rice, this guy ordered a full large meal and probably still paid less than $25.

Anyone arguing with you about this mentally challenged. The guy is obviously lying. Even if he bought it at Benihana I doubt it would cost $25. There has to be more food and or he had it delivered.

Nobody we get a runoff election.
