Genbuhari3: i dont think i have commented on Nairaland since the end of 2011 elections in which i supported General Buhari, financially, and campaigned vigorously.

But his present declaration has chased me out of silence. and i think he should not contest. terribly disappointed.

we do need him if we must chase PDP out of power in 2015, based on the support base of the North. but he needs to just groom and endorse a young man now, and with the ongoing talks with ACN, a fashola as vice presidential candidate. Buhari raising the hand and campaigning for a El Rufai in the North will secure the North for us, and A fashola as vice president from the south will do the magic from the south. and PDP will be a goner.

but with this Buhari declaration, there is trouble for the opposition. Buhari is far more unelectable in the south than he was in 2003, 2007, 2011. the stigma against him in the south is beyond deliverance!

i do hope God will make him change his mind.

and the question is why has Buhari been the most talked about opposition figure in Nigeria? same as Obafemi Awolowo who contested 1983 elections in his 70's. give to him please! it is only Buhari that talks and PDP starts opening their mouth in self defence. and he remains the most feared man by the corrupt few killing this country. i adore Jerry Rawlings who changed Ghana as a die hard Military Rule, I respect Sankara who almost did same in Burkina Faso. for Buhari almost doing it for Nigeria, I will always respect him. until we crush corruption and the corrupt in this country, this country goes no where.

no country develops without social justice! and Nigeria will not be an exception.

as for Jonathan, my silence in the last one year is always troubled by the thoughts of 'how did Nigeria get this man elected?'. it is absolutely shameful.

@GenBuhari, Buhari is doing the right thing.

This is what we call [size=20]Politics[/size]. First, it was a close door meeting with Tinubu. Now, its Obasanjo.

PDP is in hot soup in 2015 except they can get a better candidate than GEJ that will be accepted by all, which I doubt they can.

Buhari is not going to run but he's going to amass support in the North for [size=15]ONE candidate[/size] that will be jointly presented by the 2 regions.
Tell me who had Buhari's followership in the north.

You better join the winning team!

Mr. Globe:
Dbanj this and that on every Nigerian site doing this and that in the UK and its still one oliver twist. Its all paid publicity. If he can do it without donjazzy then let him drop another song, lets see how far it goes. And the people who say oliver twist is playing on a 'whites only bar' must be whites themselves to know. Nigerians and hyping self. *leaves the thread*

Let's agree or assume that Don Jazzy is the best producer in the world, D'Banj will pay him off for his next hit. If he cannot afford it, we the FAN will raise the funds.

~Bluetooth:
funny you but you just told us that someone from the village or town may also own a car ? This thread must go ugly.

Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti was the first woman to drive a car in Nigeria and the car is not Ojukw_u grandfather's car, which means Ojukw_u grandfather's claim of being the first millionaire is a lie because he cannot afford a car.

.

Sagamite: Who gives a shyt!

What is so special about being the first to drive a car.

All these useless, moronic "records" we Africans, especially Nigerians, like to brandish about.

Yeah, I was the first from Sagamu to drink McDonald milkshake. WOOHOO!

McDonald milkshake abi 'Alomo Bitters'. Useless thread!

afam4eva: Whoever gave this woman that title couldn't have been right you know. How did they know that someone did not drive a car before her and was not captured. I can understand that of the first woman to fly a plane because planes were very few in the country at that time and people would definitely notice if one flew a plane. Especially if it's a woman.

Eventually, you made frontpage with this thrash. Well done!

But if I may ask, "who is the first man to drive bicycle in your village?"

ogugua88: Because Snoop featured on his track doesn't mean Americans heard it. All of that is relevant to us. There wasn't any American promo for that apart from filming the video here. D'banj fans, till date, cannot admit that the Endowed Remix was overhyped and ended up being lackluster.

[b]"Oliver Twist" is D'banj's first music video to score 1,000,000+ views [/b]since the release of "Fall in Love", and that has little to do with who featured on the track and everything to do with how he and Don Jazzy promoted that song. EXCELLENTLY. They literally got the world involved for that song.

Thank God D'Banj moved on early enough. Oliver Twist would have ended being lackluster (borrowing your word).
Don Jazzy has always been with him from inception, so if D'Banj is recording huge success after separation that should prove something is wrong somewhere.

Maybe its because 'Oliver Twist' doesn't have the usual 'its Don Jazzy again'

I still don't believe 'Don Jazzy' is the best producer in the world. There are millions out there who'd like to associate with success.
I mean the ones who really mean business.

ogugua88: How big is this UK you're talking of? As unfortunate as it may be, artists can't reach monumental success or popularity until they've scored big points in the US. Ask Adele and Amy Winehouse. No one is singing Oliver Twist here. but trust D'banj. Once he has conquered all populations of UK, he'll branch out again.

@OP, huh? Lol, if D'banj found success partnering with Don Jazzy, why can't anyone else? If anything, Tiwa has a great chance of being successful with Don Jazzy as she's actually talented. She's a great Grammy-nominated songwriter and a superb vocalist as well. Everyone flipped when "Without My Heart" featuring Don Jazzy was released. She's versatile. She has no album under her name, but I have high hopes for her because she's one of the few talented musicians currently in Nigeria's lackluster music industry. When she releases an album, I'll be bumping this thread lol.

Snoop and Kanye are not Naija or UK musician, they are from US.

Keep bumping, we're coming for you! Its gonna be collabo btw you and D'banj.

Baba_Eleko: i just close my mac. case closed.

Thanks my brother. Make dem go upgrade

Smh! Is this thread not about Tiwa of MAVIN? What's with D'Banj?

Somebody is struggling for recognition. Definitely, not D'Banj cos he seems to have taken over the subject.

afam4eva: He's popular abroad to Nigerians and Africans that live abroad.

And Plumstead is a Nigerian school. Dumb*ss

omar22: Am sorry but, for Chris Evans, Tim Westwood and Trevor Nelson to play your track on the radio means you are shifting records! for Eastern Europeans to have Oliver on their Iphone singing of the train means your popular. Radio 1 (I mean BBC Radio 1) and Capital FM plays Oliver means alot, because these radio station do not play anything most especially RnB or Rap music.

Tell them! Capital FM is not Radio Nigeria o. James Barr is not Kenny Saint Ogungbe. Likewise, Her Majesty the Queen is not Oba of Lagos.

Abeg, locals bigup. D'Banj don stepup!

Why do I have to login and logout when I'm using my personal laptop or PC? I'm a Mac user and I just close my laptop whenever I'm stressed up (sleep mode).

I do hibernate my windows pc and laptops. Maybe a slowpoke would advice you to logoff or shutdown at all times sha.

@Beaf,

Warship? Is it 'made' or 'assembled' in Nigeria? A friend had told me about this project before.

REDs house: but the fact is that it will add more value to ogun state and will bring development to the people of the area so mr beaf or hot dog be informed in other not to be deform

I'm not in support of beaf but did u just say 4-lane road expanded to 6-lanes would add more value to the people of the area?

Ask Tantalizers, Sweet Sensation, Big Treat, Mr Biggs and others, how do they survive in Ogun state?

I was shocked when I went to Big Treat which has shutdown anyway, they do sell beer like 'Mama Kate Beer Palour'. Tantalizer and Sweet Sensation do run 'buka cybercafe' (not Hotspots or Telecenters) to boost sales. Dem dey even light candle at times.

Talking from experience.

Ogun Gov Scorecard.

1. Demolition of Golf resort (personally supervised by His Excellency)

2. Banks shut down for over 5 months (first in Nigeria)

3. Scrapped TAI SOLARIN UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION (TASUED) due to the fact that much funds was needed to effectively run the institution annually in #732 million

4. EXPAND the existing 4-lane Totoro-sokori road to 6-lanes with [size=15]N1.3 billion[/size]! Waoh! Expand 2.4km (4 lane) road to 6-lanes for N1.3 billion.

5. Purchased Armoured Personnel Carriers N4 billion to fight crimes in the state. Yet, Banks remained shut down and robbery didn't reduce.

6. Convert one of the 7 Cargo Airport, approved by late President, Umar Musa Yar’adua, to a dump site.


God Bless Ogun State!

There's no smoke without fire. @OP, pls complete your work. At least you don make frontpage.

A large scale fish farming would make sense according to all response above.

@ade2008, I do agree and I've seen those fish farm in Ijebu Ode. But that does not suffix to say that fish farming is for everyone.

Thank you all. I think i'll be fine with a simple garden pond for now. Maybe in the future when I have like N2m - N3m to play with, I can go into feed production so that I can sell to fish farmers. That one make more sense to me!

At least fish must chop!

manny4life: Terrible is a subtle term to use for it, it's just plain stupidity. Rather than fixing the problem, they're busy trying creating more for us with the little cash they have at hand. Watch, the money being used for this piece of crap called idea is probably financed through debts- one way or another. People need to cut their coats according to their sizes, that's just my own two cents.

[size=15]OGUN STATE AGRO/CARGO AIRPORT SITE TURNED DUMP SITE BY GOV AMOSUN[/size]

Now, he wants to build AC-bridge. Is that the change we want?

He's even boasting about it. "Amosun disclosed that the 2.4km road would serve as a model of the highways that would dot the nooks and crannies of the state in the months to come."

Imagine! A governor who in less than a year in office, has obtained the approval of the House of Assembly for a total loan of N65 billion.

Even Fashola and Dangote adviced the 'Bigot' during the economic summit, to work on the achievements on his predecessor.

[size=18]POMP AND PAGEANTRY[/size]

Gov. Amosun spend N1.3b to [size=15]EXPAND[/size] and not construct a road of 2.4km

[size=15]Take Note of this![/size]

(a)  The road itself and the desirability of its expansion vis-a-vis its socio-economic significance.

(b) The number of kilometres involved in relationship with the cost of contract.

The stretch of road has no concentration of medium or big businesses. No concentration of Banks, Petrol Station, Government office, Hotel, entertainment outfit or edifice of note, and importantly, the road does not experience any major traffic gridlock to have warranted this luxury expenditure.

This is to say the [size=15]expansion[/size] is a waste, undesired and a self serving initiative to siphon state funds; suffice it to say that his uncompleted mansion is located within the area.

Mathematically, [size=18]Amosun is constructing a kilometre for N500million![/size]

Is that development?

Daniel dualized 37km Abeokuta-Kobape-Siun-Sagamu road @ N52m per km for N1.93b

Oya talk now! [size=15]Who be the thief? Who be the hunter[/size]

REDs house: if he has used the money like his predecessor has done what will become of him afterall he is not doing it in his fathers house it will be utilize by the same hungry people in ogun state so lets support him cos we cant get there if we cant take a step

aasog1: @OP

Are you sure you ever studied economics?
Do you even know the meaning of fixed asset?
Your fish pond is a permanent asset that would serves you for years to comes. Its not like you want to hawk gala or purewater.

@aasog1, double salute sir. I no fit insult my oga but I beg to differ on this.

The turn-around-maintenance of ponds pass that of some refineries. Correct maintenance is the key to successful fish farming, ensuring that your fish remain in the best possible condition. No be to just dig pond and start counting your blessings!

Most fish farmers don't know they should check their pond water for ammonia, nitrite and PH every week throughout the year (or at any time the fish look or behave differently). All this comes at a cost.

Even minus the above, fish farming is still not lucrative as people think.
Cash flow is the amount of money made on a business versus the amount of money you must expend on the business. When your net income is positive (income minus your expenditure), then you’re doing fine. But on the other hand, if you’re unable to meet your expenses (maintenance inclusive) with the current income you’re generating from your farm or have to foot some bills with your personal fund, then you’ve got a negative cash flow. This projection assumes all is well

See how Washingtonpost put the story

mekaboy: THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE BUT SOME DETAILS ARE STILL MISSING I WANTED US TO US THE 1000 PIECES AS AN ESTIMATE TO DO THE CALCULATION, WHICH YOU SKIPPED .

FROM WHAT YOU SAID, YOU DID NOT STATE THE PRICE OF ANY POND TYPE.

ASSUMING ONE FISH COST N30 THE 1000 = N30,000

THE FEEDING AS U SAID IS = N250,000

THAT IS 280K ALREADY

ASSUMING ALL THE FISHES ARE SOLD AT 400 *1000 = 400,000

400K - 280K = 120K

I WILL NOT CONSIDER 120K AS PROFIT YET BECAUSE WE DONT HAVE DETAILS OF THE COST OF THE POND WHICH WILL STILL BE SUBTRACTED FROM IT, AND THE COST OF MAINTENANCE FOR THAT 5 MONTHS.


FROM WHAT I SEE, ASSUMING U SPENT 100K ON POND- 250K ON FEEDING- 30 FOR THE FISHES - OTHER EXPENSES 50K =430K

IF THE FISHES ARE SOLD FOR 450 EACH *1000 = 450K

SO U INVESTED 430K PLUS STRESS -- GOT 450K FROM SALES AFTER 6MONTHS --PROFIT IS 20K IN 6MONTHS .

You've said it all! Fish farming is not a lucrative business. Based on your projection, you only make at most 25% of whatever sum is invested.

Well that depends on our people's definition of 'lucrative business'. As far as am concerned, you're only working for the feed seller and the buyers.

I can only do backyard fish farming for family consumption.

toluxa1: D way some Nigerians think is just ridiculous. MUST WE DO EVERYTHING LIKE THE WEST? So because there is University of Manchester, all our Universities too should follow suit. Rubbish!!!

Maybe this would help

Distinctive - University of Lagos.

Easy to Spell - University of Lagos can be spelt by a Portuguese as far as he had basic eduction. Ask a Togolese to spell 'Moshood Kashimawo Abiola'
Easy to Pronounce - UNILAG
Likable - UNILAG babes
Easy to reference - I graduated from University of Lagos. Unlike, "I graduated from Moshood Abiola University, Lagos (formerly known as University of Lagos)

The name UNILAG has gained growing international acceptance and one retardeen shouldn't soil it. There are better ways to immortalize the dead.

- Rename Eagle Square after MKO Abiola
- Construct 4th Mainland Bridge and name it after Abiola

Hope that would be fine for now. Bros!

~Bluetooth:
Does living in Lagos make you better than someone living in Abuja simply because Lagos is known around the world ? Stop trippin over this shiit and get real.With all the hype about Unilag,it has never ranked as the best school in Nigeria;still lagging behind UI,OAU,UNILORIN and UNIBEN despite the fact that these schools are located in ancient cities.
What y'all forgot is that name doesnt make schools if not covenant and other private unis would have been among the best in Nigeria.There is nothing special about unilag to me !
