Then during 2015 you collected #100m.

Why not, he is not a fool ke

Omofunaab2:
I wonder the population of igbos in various prisons across the world.. I used to think it was only Asian prisons but never knew our brothers were busy developing Ghanaian prisons too.

And these people want majority of us to believe they are hardworking. .

Emmanuel Emeka, please kindly contact IPOB headquarters, I'm sure they have a biafran embassy somewhere in Accra

Not fair.

You are first of all a human being before anything else. Do not gloat on the misfortune of others, please.

Soup don sour.

Never get tired of giving love. It's not for Man its for God. But review your love giving strategy that's all. If unconditional love doesn't work try a conditional love a.k.a political love a.k.a give and take love. That's what the igbo man needs now. That is the American love.

Point of correction they prefer Jewish love. Azimi, you try. Can you imagine what will happen when a nymph becomes a prostitute? Dem no go hear.

ProWalker:
Just behind Doula Rd, behind big fish and by the post office

What is the name of that street?

ProWalker:
There is Adele, but definitely not a Adele road

Give me the coordinates. Cameroun Road, Abraham Adesanya ( formerly Douala Road, Payne Crescent, Warehouse Road , Mobil filling station .

ProWalker:
Obviously all yo know about apapa are stories told to you!!
There is no Adele "road" in apapa
Bishopjuice is a foolish liar

Really?? I pass this road everyday to avoid traffic on Warehouse road. You should be ashamed of yourself.

DanseMacabre:
That it is hypocritical, self-serving and as a result, futile. You might have slightly misunderstood me, my friend.

Signature'n ka na bani dariya.

Read between the lines. It is called sarcasm.... Arashi in Hausa.


My signature ..... Funny to me too

A gaisheka a gaishe ni.

PEACE

HiddenShadow:
Igbos want the National Assembly to invite UN t
o conduct Referendum before violence erupts.

That is what your representative should do. Simple matter.

DanseMacabre:
What is this thread about?


Oh, yet another self-righteous 'voice of reason' who loves the Igbos more than they do themselves.

Abi, Trying to redeem a nymph from prostitution. What do yo think?

signz:
What is going on biko?

I like Ayo Fayose, he's brave and i know he'll perform better than Buhari but contesting 2019 elections is a bridge too far if you ask me.

Except the principalities and powers have zoned power to west, I don't see this man winning.



We need his likes in the Senate at least for now.

From which party?

Nigeria at the crosstoads , permanently in That intensive Care Unit and doctors have become patients. Anybody who comes close is infected..

Sad, very sad.

OZAOEKPE:
This one na PDP subsidiary

I am.joining Nairabet instead.

Tonyebarcanista is my pool agent?

Whooosssaai

TheCabal:
He's right. This is the main reason the east is fighting tooth and nail against Buhari. The ports have been purged and system is slowly tripling it's revenue collection. The banning of certain goods are also issues that have affected Ibo business men.

I read in the past on this forum. A member predicted this, that the east may find it difficult to adapt in Nigeria if the leakages in the system are fixed. Their wealth is heavily built on the leakages in the ports. Margins are growing smaller.

You are right.

heavenhug:
This is Nigeria, anything happens. Some people voted for him as their gov

I think Ekiti people are just counting the days. They cannot wait to shoo him out. I want to see which party ticket he will use. Maybe APGA. Certaiinly not APDD .

DONSMITH123:
Who knows the kind of weed this man always take?

It is not weed. Na ELUBO him and Femo dey sniff.

abumeinben:
Someone who held a position previously wrote a volume concerning a potential threat to nationalism, you are saying this?

This is one of the problems he sighted. Religion, tribalism, Politics, apc-pdp,....

What is nationalism?

senier007:
Abati is as confused as the namdis of this world, you think am wrong OK check out this

[/b]but Igbos across all generations, including the millennials who have been socialized into believing that there is a gap between their people and other Nigerians.[b]

[/b]and its people have proven to be enterprising and determined to hold their own in every sphere of life, including outstanding contributions to the making of the Nigerian state[b]
[/b]
I have heard people complain that Igbo tenants are too stubborn or that when you rent a room to an Igbo man, he will end up sub-letting that one room to all kinds of persons from his village, putting pressure on the property’s limited facilities.[b]

[/b]Igbos have also been held responsible for all sorts of things, kidnapping, drug trafficking, child trafficking, armed robbery – even when there are criminals from virtually every community in Nigeria[b]

[/b]Igbos are also obviously the most integrated ethnic group in Nigeria,[b]

Then Abati went to start attacking the Arewa group without reasoning the same way he reasoned with the igbo-haters!! That's double standard and illogical, read this

[/b]Their message is that since Igbos no longer want to be part of Nigeria, they should get out, because they, Arewa youths, do not want belong to the same political union with Igbos.[b]

[/b]The arrogance of the Northern youths is insufferable. It speaks to virtually everything that other Nigerians are uncomfortable with about the Fulani North: a born-to-rule, hegemonic tendency.[b]

But Nigerians are not allowed to be "uncomfortable" with kidnappers, armrobbers and the rest. Hmmmm

[/b]It is an assault on the Nigerian Constitution, to the extent that the Constitution does not grant any individual or group, the right or the power to determine where any Nigerian may live or work or die or acquire property. All Nigerians are equal before the law.[b] but the Kanus of this world are allowed to abuse Yorba, Hausa Fulani and the rest of Nigerians?

It's on record Kanus has directed his people to chase the Hausa Fulani out of the east and call all Yoruba pastors as imbeciles and yet the constitution allow him but not Arewa, hmm

[/b]]When there is a threat to the state, it is their duty to identify the threat and act on it[b] but when kanu was arrested you were in forefront calling for his release and now you are changing dance when same song is still playing

[/b][i][/i]The common enemy is not the secessionists.[b]


Magu has really reset this guy brain #WeNeedTheRealAbatiBack

This is called << THE BEGINNING OF THE END>>




This is the path journalists take on the way down....

Who is reading him again, after his passage in Aso rock?

Emilo:
I laugh when i read people say they would take over business of Igbo people. U think to manage a bisiness stops at just acquiring it. What does a mallam know about business. Or u want to manage it as u peole ve been managing the country. Anywhere Aboki goes, its to embezzle, steal with no room for growth or improvements.

Profiteering ,fake products and is not business, it is called cheating. Selling counterfeit / expired drugs is murder or even genocide sef.

deomelo:
Do you know what determines where people ship to.? Market forces, return on investments, large consumer market and disposable income and if such elements exists in other parts of the country like your village where your own people don't even want to stay or do business in., Lagos ports wont even exist.


The government can not force or determining these factors, but business environment does.

Now, if you are sure and determined to have your own ports and have your business people do business in your villages instead of Lagos or the SW, then build your own ports and have your people move back to your villages to patronize them.

Now, on the logical and intelligent front.


Nearly all the investments entering Nigeria ends up in the SW from Lagos to Ogun and Oyo states based on certain key factors.

1. Access to market and raw materials

2. Access to large consumer base and buying power

3. Safety, security and protection of investments

4. Welcoming and conducive environment

5. Local infrastructure.


All the above factors exists in the SW and not in other parts of Nigeria so even with ports in the SE, they won't change the economic dynamics in the SE.

The SE is so mentally crippled and unable to do anything to change and turn things around simply because they have a FG dependent mentality, a situation where the society ignore their local leaders and elected officials who are not doing anything for them and focus largely on the FG as the alpha, omega and ultimate savior when in fact it should be the other way around.

While other states and governors are busy taking their hopes and future into their own hands by building their own infrastructures like airports, the so called powerful, smartest, richest and the most industrious SE can not do anything, they need the FG to brush their teeth for them, tie heir shoes for them and even spoon feed them.

The FG can not create any economic situation for you, your own governors have to formulate their own economic policies and strategies like other states have done or are doing.


Thinking and behaving like kids and invalids that must be carried like babies, spoon fed and babysit like problem and special needs children by the FG.


Ports are the least of your worries because you have other serious, social and communal factors to deal with.

Talking about ports, shippers/ importers determine where their cargo goes, carriers schedule vessels at agreed freight rates. Freight rates are charged based on distance,fuel consumption, port charges and risk factors, among others . Using Lagos ports could be attributed to inducement by way of volumes and availability of appropriate facilities. Security of vessel , cargo and crew determines scheduling. I honestly do not see revenue flight from Lagos for the foreseeable future and in any case this federal revenue .

IAs an aside, taking into consideration the foregoing, I have my reservations on any cargo movements on the Niger.

This thread , through mischief, is supposed to spur states lagging in IGR capture to sit up, for the overall good. Being wat we are, we have turned it into a kangaroo court.

Maduawuchukwu:
Yeah. The Nigerian state cannot meet the needs of its different people. Experience so far has shown that the politics of a multicultural and multireligious country makes it impossible for the Nigerian government to be efficient and competent. Naija is the world's most federal country in terms of demographics and ethnic behaviour yet we operate a federalism weaker than that of India or Canada which is far more homogeneous than we are. How we wan take diversify economy?

You are right. The lesson from this thread is that all administrations, federal, state and local governments must establish robust revenue generating mechanisms to harvest " low hanging fruits" .

Ultimately, a true federal arrangement is the panacea as the center has proved to be irresponsible in properly applying the "unintended " funds it is harvesting. Federating states should pay the center and not the other way. By so doing, everyone will be up and doing.

Billyonaire:
FG is at the mercy of SS Biafrans, if we hear GBIIIMMMM....Its over. We old everyone on the balls.

Maybe you are deaf.

ProWalker:
The Insurance business is firmly in the hands of the Yoruba.
The real Estate sector is almost 95% of the SW is in their grip
The inter SW transport (including Lagos) is almost 99% in their hands.
The downstream oil trading ( petrol stations) is almost 100% their
The stocks of the bluest of the blue chip companies is in there own.
The most capitalized bank and best performing bank in Nigeria is own by them
The ICT business is firmly in their grip.
They operates more than 2/3 of the port Terminal and shipping companies.
The list is endless.
The problem is that the Yorubas don't make noise unlike Igbos.

Now, tell me apart from trading in imported items, tell me the commercial areas Igbos are better.

Simple ....... Invisible trade. Like...... I no talk

Sanchez01:
I didn't need to because your assertion is not only laughable but stupid. Interestingly, you forgot to state where the oil fields are because just like the other little foot soldiers, you are quick to lump the SS with the SE.

Try to create a standalone mindset with these two regions when clamouring or dreaming of your madness. You should by now know where we align when it comes to Biafra. And before you daydream about Biafrans coming for oil fields in the South South, you just have to understand that those in the region would not sit and have you cripple their lands. The aftermath of a war on all sides is always devastating and Nigeria would be impacted, but that is not to say the other side would remain standing.

If there was to be another war between Nigeria and the Eastern Region (God forbid), we all know it would be a repeat, not because Nigeria is only stronger, but because allies would be readily available to protect their interests. That was how the war was won then and nothing would change about it today

I'd suggest you dedicate an hour of your time to seeing some videos of the civil war on Youtube rather than lift a picture of the Dassault Falcon 900 LX to self-service on your never-ending daydream. The only little mind here is yours.

This guy is sniffing elubo again

fineboynl:
by the way what is bad is bad in this? do you know how many people who can't afford paracetamol ?

He should have used the cost of putting his picture on the packaging to buy more paracetamol . Simple

TonyeBarcanista:
Thank You for acknowledging that I don't hate Yoruba race.

Now as per your position, Osinbajo CANNOT win the Presidency in 2019. Not when the opposition is determined to present a credible Northern candidate and Igbo VP.

I have NO paymaster from anywhere... don't get it twisted

Tonye, please adjust that telescope, I do not see any *opposition* in the horizon. I think your ship is not on course. Check your bearings.

Sensual:
Then maybe a TIV man should come and rule us.

What is wrong with that?
