The truth is that illegal refineries are detrimental to the nation at large. The argument of some people here is like "why close down illegal drug manufacturers?" Why not give them license to produce the drugs since we are still importing drugs? That is ignorance talking. It will kill a lot of people because it is not standardized. They lack the education and training to do it properly. They steal the raw resources they use. They produce sub-standard products.

Mining and refining are two different things. Illegal mining takes resources and ingenuity. I haven't seen a news where illegal drilling of oil in your backyard has been penalized (I may be wrong). Because if you have the know-how to extract oil from the ground, you deserve at least some commendation; same as mining of raw minerals. Perhaps an oil co could hire you. These "refineries" though are nothing more than boiling stolen crude in drums and condensing the kerosene+petrol+diesel gas mixture to sell. No wonder so many stories of exploding cooking stove and engines.

Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State should be on that list, he works with the world bank before going into politics.


One Ekiti man besides me is mentioning Fayose too, that he made his billions from being an agbero and selling rice Congo or derika for oja oba in ibadan before he dabbled into politics.

Hi bro, please can you link me with an online source for the information that he worked with the world bank, or the job he did there? Thanks. His wikipedia page did not mention that. Please its urgent, i need it for research purposes.

Any answers for private unis?

The value and quantity of zenith bank shares that was traded yesterday is alarming, it's like investors just don't care they just keep buying this stocks, I forgot to mention am also buying too, the fact is there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the stock just that the economic situation is affecting the price that is why it  way underpriced.
   The yield on our beloved Mutual funds have fallen, it may still go lower but let's face the fact, it's not as bad as you think! Do you know some countries have adopted NEGATIVE interest rates! Unbelievable! And here we are complaining.

My friend who asked about the best fund to invest in, many before you have asked same question but the truth is that there is no precise answer to this because all mutual funds are unique in there own way, so you probably need to look at all of them and pick which one you feel more comfortable, but the truth is all of them are ok so long as the are money market funds and regulated by SEC. You may not want to deal with Capital market funds because I can sense your risk appetite is low and the equity market is not doing so well right now

Thanks bro, nice tip on Zenith stock. Actually, i'm of the opinion that sometimes the best time to buy in the capital market is when there is a bullish trend, especially now that Nigeria is in a quasi-recession. Because from business cycle modelling, a new bubble may start at any time, and those who wait till then to jump in would be late, and might be entering when the money has already been made. A major recovery is certain to happen, the only question is when and how long would we have to wait for it.

Gurus in the house. Please what do you guys think is the best mutual fund to invest in at the moment? And by best, I mean in terms of price per unit to earnings ratio.

Thanks a lot.

Your itinerary is pretty unclogged.
If you are not concerned as to your security, you can hail an un-painted taxi along the road or from your hotel and if you like the driver's 1st service, you take his number and retain him till you leave PH.
However if you want some class and are particular about type of vehicle then you need to make arrangements ahead. Do have a pleasant stay in Port-harcourt.

Thanks for your help. Had a great time.

All4good:
Depends on where you are going to from PH and the type of vehicle you want to hire.
Painted or registered cars with write-up on the body will be cheaper than plain cars.
You can bargain to fuel the vehicle yourself that brings cost of hiring down.
Give more details of your proposed trip then I can help further. Cheers.

Hi, thanks for your response. I just need it for a little running around around in the woji area. From my hotel to banks, back to hotel, to joints, to my business meeting venues etc, and finally back to the airport on the last day. I notice that movement is mostly by keke around there and that's not suitable at all. Or are there any other forms of drop taxi?
Thanks.

Please I'm interested in renting a car for about 4 days, but for portharcourt. Please can anyone tell me how it normally works, if you know? As in the average price per day, weda fuel is included in price, where the driver will normally stay for the duration etc.

Property12 did you finally use a service? If you did, pls which one did you use, and can you pls explain how it works?

Curlieweed:
Joe (Hutukwe) Igbokwe is doing that already. How many "sensible" bastards do you think we can spare?

Why do you call him a "sensible" bastard? Do you think he is doing the wrong thing? or do you want Ndi-Igbo to associate with fellow Igbo people only?

Chiwude:
The political party is a good idea. It should be formed in the mould of the Scottish National Party. Let the IPOB add this up as another alternative to achieving their agenda. Even though the current tactics is still on ground.

If such a party does come up though, I won't be surprised if they fail to win anything, similar to our experience with APGA. The ACN became power brokers just because of their unity.

Aviation has its own ministry headed by Sirika.

Check well that that is not minister of state aviation.

daywalker02:
Aamechi Transport..after all the billions spent, Amaechi end up in transport...dry ministry

What is dry about it? Dont u know that aviation alone which is under it, is one of d juiciest, not to talk of d other parts.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

naijapips02:
sorry to burst your bubble. Our people do not reason logically.

Biafra or Death?

But what about the idea of a political party? Can it work?

See dis mumu thieves o. Even say you wan rob, na VGC you go. Where security dey carry gun. Instead make you rob where d a.boki dey carry arrow. The work of witches in ur village, sorry for ur life.

Ok, I thought you meant they can leave as in secede. I don't think it realistic for all agitators to flee their homeland na.

egift:
Nothing to discuss. Anyone tire of Nigeria, can pack their luggage and leave. But any miscreant attempting to divide Nigeria will be dealt with excessive force. I dare IPOB touts to pick up arms and see armored tanks, arrests, troops, state of emergency, martial law, bombs, vandalism, destruction and business grounded in all affected communities. I dare them.

Those who know the cost, sacrifices and tragedy of war will go home and mind their business. While toddlers who have not seen anarchy will be here beating up their noisy feeble cheats.

As a patriotic Nigerian the Unity, Peace and Progress will be defended with everything imaginable.

But the question is how would they leave though, since taking arms is out of the question?

To start with, I'm an igbo man from Anambra (my position on biafra is not important).
I have observed the recent protests, but I do not think these protests would actually help in making biafra a reality in a democratic setting.

I propose a referendum. How you may ask? because referendums are not in any part of our constitution and are thus illegal. My proposal is for the Biafra movement to form a political party (could be called anything). This party would then seek for elections in all the regions of the proposed biafra (i.e SE and SS).

This would give the people the opportunity to have Biafra members as state house of representatives, Governors, commissioners, Senators (3 from each state), house of rep members etc. All of these people belonging to the pro-biafra movement and speaking with one voice. In this way, they can begin a push for national dialogue or constitutional amendment. And at the very least, begin to implement the El-Dorado or Utopia concept of the unity and development of Ndi-Igbo.

This would of course happen if they win. If the pro-biafra movement candidates do not win, then it should be taken that the majority of our people are not in support. So all this "evangelism" could be turned to political rallies in support of the biafra party candidates in election season to try to persuade our people to vote pro-biafra candidates through out.

In this way, this could be a kind of pseudo-referendum, because if the candidates of the party clear the polls, then it could be taken that there is popular support. It is also possible they win in SE but not in SS, this would also show where the loyalty of those people lie. But imagine if all the current governors and senators were produced right from the biafra movement. There wouldn't be as much police and political harassment and if things get too bad, all the governor's could come together, appoint a leader amongst them and secede.

This is just an idea and I would like robust discussion as to the likely pros and cons of such an approach. Thanks.

Guys, please who has information on private universities' pay structures? Thanks.

Am truly surprised that most of your prediction came true. Except Abia, and the three women governor and some other ones. Bt I was really wondering then wether u wrote this recently. But if it was actually on April. The lord truly sent u as said in Ezekiel. If this things came to pass then they shall know that a prophet has been among them cos it will surely come to pass..... So says the lord.

Abia was correct I think because Ikpeazu as been sworn in. For the 3 women, he mentioned 2019 elections. He said in 2015, Hajia Alhassan will loose to PDP, but she will win if fielded again in 2019.

The whole prophecy get as ee be sha. Na magic?

I think i would just settle for a masters degree, then a PhD. If that doesn't sail through, then i will just settle for two masters degree, one in economics, and one in Finance.
@Chylo, are there schools that combine both at masters level?

To my knowledge, there are such courses. In my university, there is an MSc course in Financial Economics. So I guess if you google properly you could find similar courses in many universities.

The VP tweet suits the Barcanista thread on youth, but I will still disagree with it. He shouldn't have said anything instead. Many good and capable youths are out there that you can pick easily. Majority of them surfaced during the election. My VP sir, I want to disagree on this. let's agree on another matter, but on this? mbanu!

Please give examples of said youths, that are better than what have been presented for screening. We will compare them side by side with the nominees from their states.

Waiting to hear from you, tenks.
