nkpa happens to be my ancestral home, but I can't confirm if they have the most expensive bride price

this is a video shoot naa

please can Kenya be officially declared a "BANANA" Republic?

omofunaab:
Lol, anambra is before ogun and oyo state.

Most people underrate oyo state.

Oyo state was the capital of old western region,
It has many industrial estates.
Ibadan is a commercial city, many don't know that

Ibadan was the largest city in west Africa.

Oyo people don't usually shout.

Ogun has cities. Ijebu ode, sagamu, ifo, sango
Ogun has the highest number industries in Nigeria, it is closer to the Benin border which makes it thrives economically

Ogun has the highest number of public tertiary institutions and private tertiary institutions.

Ogun alone has four international stadia, otunba Dipo Dina international stadium, ijebu ode, sagamu international stadium, ilaro international stadium, and Mko Abiola international stadiums.

Ogun has olokola free trade zone in collaboration with ondo state.
Ogun has numerous industrial estates in mowe, ibafo, agbara, Ota etc..
The concentration of industries in many towns has changed most of these places to urban areas.
Abeokuta has one of the best roads in the country apart from the few federal roads

I don't know what your definition of urban means again



Modified :
Most of you saying tha the industrial estates in ogun State are just extensions of Lagos state and it has no effect on host communities. I will advise such people to go back and read their secondary school economics textbooks.. Read factors that determines location of industries, benefit of the industries to the host communities ...stop being ignorant please.
Nobody will cite an industry in areas without good roads and there's no place that won't benefit from having an industry cited or where infrastructures are provided.

If a road was rehabilitated to modern standards in your community, then the value of of your property will definitely increase. Many of these people have never been to ijebu ode, sagamu, sango, Ota, agbara before.. So in their myopic mind they just conclude that industries in ogun State are only located in the bush and it has no effect on the host community.
What brings about urbanization is the population shift. And population shift is brought about by infrastructures like roads, universities, airports etc people staying in ijebu ode, sagamu, Ota, ifo, mowe, ibafo, agbara, ilaro etc Don't need to come to abeokuta because they have facilities over there and that brings about the topic distribution of infrastructures.


The fact that Lagos is a yoruba state likewise ogun, oyo, ondo, osun and ekiti is not our fault and it's nobody's business if we benefit eachother. It's the essence of regional integration.

It's not my fault that imo and anambra envy eachother's little progress.
Infact it's a thing of joy for if other yoruba states will benefit from each other.

You guys should work on how to help each other instead of fighting each other here on nairaland.
It's not our fault that anambra igbos are claiming superiority over others. Work in unity and stop envying eachother

did you say international stadium?
what is the standard for and international stadium, is it just in name?

CBN wants to turn to EFCC, it's OK

they will soon ask for power to seize local currency

don't think the white blended well with the other colors, good job though

African countries and misplaced priority.
the most industrialized countries of the world who are responsible for global warming and climate change don't give a dam about curbing climate change, Donald Trump is reviving the coal industry in USA, China has refused to assent to Paris protocol on the same issue, but Nigeria, a poorly industrialized nation has abandoned it coal that can generate electricity all because someone is lecturing us from the west on climate change

Ghanaians and love for color yellow, when you are not a Lagos taxi driver

that has always been the plan from day, when Sanusi started raising "a storm in tea cup"
most of those banks affected have all been handed over to northern interest in one form or another

she resembles ADAORA, the former host of MTN project fame

will Nigeria go to hell for not providing you the Avenue to fulfill your God's given potentials?

obviously buhari has got no policy, tha is why the economy is crumbling.

mapet:
1. SLS has no hold on CBN anymore, so there's nothing he can do. What has Saraki got to do with Intercontinental Bank or Akingbola........Even Saraki's "hand-cuffs" are awaiting him as he plundered Shareholders funds in their family bank
2. Some of these cases are won on technicalities. If Jim Nwobodo could recover "Savannah Bank" now "Heritage Bank" after a decade+, then Akingbola stands a chance
3. I think CBN could have overlooked some of the complicated aspects of agreements while they allowed the Access Bank deal to go through

SAVANNA IS NOT HERITAGE BANK, I think Heritage is rather an offshoot of"Société generale"

mapet:
Bros,

I think we should drop the arguement.....this is tending towards ethnic connotations. If you are not gonna be fact based, then am out

2)I'm a Beneficiary of GEJ's YouWin Programme


3) My Sister went to a Maritime school in Philippines without me paying a Penny all thanks to GEJ


What I've done for Nigeria?

1) I Pay My Taxes regularly


Lalasticlala what have you done for Nigeria?

oga na only you Waka....?
obviously your family has had it own "national cake already" just allow others a fair share.
based on quota system, I beg, e do!

RichyRodman:
Some people don't know the true story that Sanusi took the opportunity to revoke the banking licence of Intercontinental Bank due to Vendetta of Akingbola (former MD/CEO of Intercontinental Bank) not collaborating with him on a big transaction when he was MD of 1st bank! Also the fact that Akingbola had this larger than life Attitude towards bank MDs

Please Akingbola started Intercontinental Bank with a few people from 1 branch at Onikan to proliferate into over 300 branches how come they used Access bank that had less than 100 branches to take over Intercontinental with 400 branches and more revenue thAn Access Bank!? Does it not beat your imagination? It became too Obvious as at that time because Aig-Imoukuedhe (former MD/CEO of Access Bank) was very close to the government of the day From Yar-Adua till Obasanjo,and the former Emir of Kano and Sautan of Sokoto to lobby the federal government to give Bank CEOs 6 months to handover "power" and merge Intercontinental Bank with Access bank with spurious allegations of misappropriation of funds and Bad Loans to stifle the owners of banks people that put together their hard earned life money investment to a full stop,drag them to court for Embezzlement.

I felt really sorry for all of them (Francis Atuche of Bank PHB, Cecilia Ibru of Oceanic Bank, Tony Elumelu of UBA etc)
Intercontinental was doing far better than Access bank as of that time it was Vendetta against the biggest players in the banking industry as at that time and Sanusi was owing Intercontinental Bank Over N12billion Loan to Kwara State government as at that time so Invariably Intercontinental was taken over by a Cabal that came together as "the powers that be"

Please give "what belongs to Ceaser to Ceaser" and let Sleeping dogs lie! Hoha (as a member of the "In-house-committee"

don't mind blind people
Sanusi had an agenda to destroy certain interest in banks and he did it by brainwashing lots of Nigerians

mapet:
1. You can't be serious.....ask Shareholders to inject more funds into banks where their initial funds was mismanaged? I think you need to go back and listen to cases of people who developed health issues when their funds were trapped in failed banks. Sanusi went about it the way Y'Ardua sanctioned.
2. Soludo was not totally sincere. Soludo was asked at the FEC meeting about the health of the banks and he surreptitiously affirmed they were in good state when they were not. Yes, his policies turned some of the banks into Mega banks, but also he needed to be forthright and tell us that only 5 banks were healthy

don't argue base on sentiments and emotions.
where were you when shareholders of same banks sued CBN for destroying their investment? so the banks that are crawling now, don't we still have shareholders in them?
if what SANUSI did was right, how come the banks 50% are on their knees?
so for your mind, Bank of the North or Unity bank was better managed and solvent than Oceanic and Intercontinental bank?.. how come he didn't touch Northern owned banks?

can you compare the "pure water and recharge cards selling banks of Soludo era, which he turned around with healthy banks with probably poor cooperate governance which Sanusi destroyed?
Soludo came, saw and built but Sanusi came saw and destroyed

the reason you won't reverse is that you have interest and stake in it

mapet:
I'm ok with you taking your "preferred position", but let's keep to facts. Fact is that Y'Ardua gave SLS an assignment to assess the "health" of the banks, and he discovered that those banks in question were very sick. That was not SLS doing, the banks did themselves in. The greed was on their part

the problem is not what SLS discovered but the problem was the manner he went about solving it.
what he should have done is, ask the shareholders of the bank to inject money by "right issue" and that doesn't stop him from removing the CEOs.
those banks were not as bad as when Soludo came on but he managed to turn them to Mega banks over nite

everything is possible with Nigerian Judiciary, if Societe' General and Savanna bank can be granted their license back, then this is small matter

when you think you have seen it all and suddenly Jigawa came calling...

different strokes... I have a girlfriend that hardly sweat,especially from armpits, what a " gem"

THE HEADIES is gradually turning to a "regional" award

This one na elderly men food, make I go find my mate

I suppose u no know your mate

Keneking:
Which US?

Our okro can not grow in this fashion in the US. These shots are probably from Enugu or Owerri or Awka if not any of the Southern Nigeria.

The man must be high on burukutu...nonsense

is Okra indigenous only to Nigeria?

KINGwax007:
If these two were not managing the country well, who will?
It is apparent that the reps are either dead to the world or brain dead..

If the govt can still maintain their luxurious lifestyle and still pay allocations to states, even in this time of recession that is but in the whole world, the same which has made Venezuela a joke, made UK increased call taxes and sacked workers massively, made almighty Saudi Arabia decrease workers salary by 20%, made south Africa the second largest economy after Nigeria, trampled Egypt to dust, then our reps are finally certified idiotz.

We know that most of them including those who'll support them only watches Africa Magic, if not, they wld understand that those two are managing us as easy as the Money we make..abi, how much barrel of oil were we able to produce after the Delusionists that are hoping for Biafra started blowing up pipelines like psychopaths?

And if its about the dollar to the naira... Then I know, they just wanted the access to forex...their boys at the bereau dey change are out of work!

you just had to bring Biafra into this topic?

Abdulsalami abubaka was a crook who emptied our foreign reserve to organize a kangaroo election

ceejay4real:
Please what does the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria in Kaduna produce? Or has it closed shop? Just curious

they produce "Salt"

obailala:
The real shocking news here is that Nigerian military has been importing boots and other military kit for decades even though we could produce them locally. What's really wrong with this country?

that way they were able to award contract in hard currency, inflate the contract and give to their fourth wife to buy made in China

while she was singing, the guy focused his attention on the lady instead of God?
