[quote author=Area-Fada]What formula does FG use to share money from Northern farm produce to the 36 states

Oh, no states get revenue from it. I can import Yam from Cameroon and pay for it.

There is misconception about farming in Southern Naija by Northerners. I have relatives in rural/semi-rural areas now in their 70s and they have never bought yam or peas or rice ever.

They grow everything and store them in barns and sacks, which last till next harvest: rice, corn, melon, pepper, yam etc. Plantain is available almost all year.[/quote]Don't mind these parasites

Which leads to the next question. will a parasite leave the host alone just like that?
Your guess is as good as mine

danny301: Intellectually handicapped people like you will always come and show yourself in every thread... Who told you that revenue equates population?... Tell us your state and lets see what you produce apart from oil which you do not know how it came to be... It is hard for people to have healthy debate or conversation in Nigeria without somebody talking about resource control or some people claiming to be feeding everybody. All these agitations for resource control is because of oil and not that any state (apart from Lagos) is doing anything exceptional in the area of commerce, agriculture, technology to boost the economy etc... The average Nigerian is manipulative in nature, he thinks its a normal thing for him to cheat others but any time he feels cheated he screams down heaven... We arise to condemn evil only when it does not go our way but as long as it goes our way its a normal thing... We condemn corruption only when the person involved is from another side but as far as the person involved is from our side even if he or she steals the whole country blind, its a normal thing, we look for excuses to justify such a person and use religion, tribe, ethnicity etc to blackmail whosoever is condemning the person in question... The truth is not us so no president can solve our problem... Not even Obama or David Cameron can conduct a credible census in Nigeria. With the kind of tribal and ethnic mentalities we are carrying i doubt if we can have any credible exercise in this country even it were to be supervised by an angel.

Now tell me. did he lie? parasites you parasites think that you can hold us down forever? damn you parasites. damn you .

There is. Rice grows abundantly in both countries and they are not desert countries. They have many inland rivers. Having kids is one thing, them surviving to be counted is another. We don't do voodoo economics here in Europe. There are colleagues researching all these problems in Northern Naija. The VVF situation there is alarming due to little girls bearing kids. Many even not surviving it.

In ancient Egypt, the Nile valley n delta was the population hub. It still is today.[/quote]Don't mind these parasites. we southerners have to unite this is one good opportunity

0monnakoda: There is nothing to explain because I am not in the business of explaining I believe in censuses.Geography is ONE VARIABLE but there are others
That is why Ethiopia a completely LANDLOCKED country is more populated than many coastal African nations.
Nigeria is close to 60% of West African population.Is this to be explained by just geography


Any theory such as yours has to be examined. People do not drink Coastal waters. Niger is in the dessert. Northern Nigeria is not.
We heard stories of "Boko Haram hiding in the Forest" from the Nigerian Army. The North is Not a dessert as many Nigerians like to pretend. The word Kaduna means crocodile based on the River Kaduna and its Crocodiles
Mybe you do not know but I will give you a few facts

Next to India Nigeria is the Largest Producer of millet in the World
Nigeria is the largest producer of Shea nuts in the World
Nigeria is the Lrgest producer of Groundnuts in Africa
All produced in the North
Beans
Cattle
goats
yams
Tomatoes
Potatoes
Rice all from the North

The North feeds the South and north the other way round


Beans is produce in Maiduguri to feed the South

A parasite will never want in its miserable life leave the host alone.
the beans you are talking about is it the ones imported from Cameroon or what. PARASITES with their born to rule mentality. A people that contribute virtually nothing to the economy of this geographical expression .

0monnakoda: I asked a simple question and you start a histrionic display like a fishwife
There is poverty all over the world. You made a claim so provide us with evidence to back up your claim. I have not said it is false or true. Just provide facts. At any rate even if it is true it proves nothing.

Look I have made known to you some of the evidences btw the shop beside mine is owned by a Chinese. I Watch with interest their behavior and attitudes

Cleanman: Did he mentioned that he is frm Anamboro before?..my guy read well....But truth be told,Igbos are simply wicked to themselves...bunch of wicked peepo....y una no go dey run come SW?.If fashola deport those potential assasins now,una go go protest 4 UN headquarters...mschew.

shut up your mouth. a bastard like you I will never generalize because my best friend is a yoruba guy. So I know that not all yoruba use their anus as a thinking machine. he said point blank that he was an anambraian bagger like you. you can't even read. he said it on his previous post you ol skirt wereing nigggar

0monnakoda: What evidence do you have for this?

OMG the extent people will bury their heads In sand. The evidence is all around you. have you forgotten what happened in Ghana the other day. when ghanaian authorities arrested Chinese people for illegal mining in Ghana. I bet you chose not To listen to their(Chinese ) stories of poverty and desperation. okay look at Chinese companies in Nigeria. they being their own people to do the work(menial) Nigeria are supposed to do. They were driven out of Cameroon for that at one time.

Billyonaire: Chinese population is approximately 5 times of that of America, as at last week the population of China stood at 1.351 billion. And let's assume that a billion of them can not afford their "cheap fake phones", but that is actually a plus. In Economics, we say, there is a Market for 1 billion Phones in China, and let's say the cheap phone is $1 each, it therefore means, there is market for $1billion dollars worth of phones in China but US market has been saturated cos no one is without a phone there (if that makes you happy), so in essence, its actually a plus for China.

Don't twist things. the rate of poor people in China is far far
bigger than that of the US. that is in relation with the population of the two nations

abubaka101: Every country eyes America's role, but very few hav d ability or resources to challenge for dat role. China has the man power, the land the technology and to an extent, the leadership. Those gigantic structures as u said are mostly found in their EFZs like Shanghai also places like Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan are not excluded, attract huge investments.
China is also the home of substandard product manufacturing, hence "chinko", fake batteries, tvs, electronics etc... These goods are later exported to other nations. Those tall buildings are very much useful... Also note dat China is very strict on internet contents within it's teritory, hence you can't just Google anyhow about China and hold on to every search result as reliable or authentic. Verify it properly... Please correct me if am wrong...

You are wrong. why should they restrict the flow of information in the country? it only Shows they have something to hide, ie the real economic growth figures. At least you said they have the technology to an extent. the ones they acquired by hacking american systems and technology. you don't go anywhere with that, you must innovate.

Mr McJay: State Police? Don't you have Massob security? Local Vigilantes nko?
What of Bakassi Boys? Were they not the ones who killed Barnabas Igwe and his wife, Angela?

Voila. now we all know you are not from ANAMBARA state . btw vigilante organizations cannot replace the state controled police force. they can only play supporting role like the Japanese yakuza

ckkris: PARASITE ! Like China, you're unwilling to make sacrifices, to develop your own internal markets, as the US does. Parasites want ready made marts for INSTANT MONEY. But Yankees are no fools. Why are the Chinese complaining? Are they not a world power?
Nigerians better support President Jonathan's 'Bottom-Top' economic development model, instead of the dubious 'Top-Bottom' model that breeds the likes of Tinubu trillionAires.

thanks bros

abubaka101: And where did u get that story? The population/birth control measures used is not dat wicked. Hear dis: since the govt controls a large percent of the economy, notwithstanding their economic practice, they hav a duty to provide basic amenities for all of China. Be it education, health etc... So if a person breaks the birthcontrol policy, the way I see it, the child and mother could be exempted from enjoying some of those benefits. Please correct me if am wrong.

hohho ho ho I laff in chingchong. not that wicked as you said. The fact is that China has always eyed the role of the US so it is not surprising that they inflate their economic growth figures and build gigantic structures that no body uses. google China's ghost cities.

mekaboy: I am from anambra state and I will tell u the level of insecurity in that state is unbearable compared to enugu or even lagos. I hardly hear of kidnappers or robbers asking someone to leave their state.

I know 2 of my friends whose wealthy fathers were assassinated in anambra state, in their villages. I mean these people are from anambra state, they live in enugu, own properties and companies in lagos and abuja, only for them to be killed in the village in anambra.

I think there is more wickedness in the hearts of we anamrarians than other parts of nigeria. Its like for u to be rich and do business in anambra state now, you have to get some kind of charm for protection.

Shut up your filthy mouth. you bastardic barbaric liar. you are not from ANAMBARA state and you have never been to ANAMBARA state. the whole of Nigeria your country is a criminal's paradise.Don't come thereto demonize my region. this is one of the reasons we need to restructure the country and have state police. Instead of running your filthy mouth on this forum

Billyonaire: The Global Economy is facing a dilemma. It is a good idea for Nigeria to commence gradual conversation of our SWF and External Reserve to other currencies, the US Default could wipe out securities. Moments like this one, I keep thinking that Democracy isnt the best form of Government in 21st Century, makes me adore Chinese Political System.

Taa mechie onu gI. you have to be careful of what you wish. a situation where a woman will be taken to a clinicto force abort her pregnancy because she could not pay a fine. is that the kind of government you want

chineke kpoo gi oku. democracy is the best any time Any day, poeple have the right to choose their leaders. look you have to make more research the Chinese are the ones that are not telling the truth about their real economic growth by shelling out fudged figures but sooner or later the truth will come out. A situation where a woman will be taken to a rubbish to force abort her pregnancy because she could not pay a fine for conceiving a second child. is that the kind of government you want. be careful of what you wish.

Whatever a person like Stella says or does people must talk. for or against.

The eclipse will especially focus on Franceville, Gabon. so it will be visible in Nigeria.

Saklekplus: UK and their useless law,i regreted that they are the one colonize nigeria and US instead of france,,UK with their hypocrital and discrimination,,james cameron era is a bad insect in the history of british

you don't know what you're talking about

PapiDShipCapt: Pls endeavor to watch arsenal match... Make una see champions playing with charisma

ffucccckkkk assAnal

Please I need help in changing my name it is a long story. to cut it short. I was in Nigeria before, then I moved to Gabon I am in businesses but I still want to go back to school(Rsa ) but the surname in my ssce (a mistake made back in 1998 In primary school) is different from the one on my passport And gabonese residence permit. I've gone the embassy and they said I should go to a law court in Nigeria. But I don't have the time. Is it possible for someone to do it for me in Nigeria? please reply quickly because time is against me.

Brimmie: Mumu NTA, Channels dey report Plane Crash.. this Yeye Station dey show rubbish commission!

I don't blame you, GEJ will continue to put shame on ur faces by doing the right things.SMH to you. In as much as power plant commissioning is rubbish to you. I just feel like punching you via this phone.
nonsakeable

lomprico: Don't forget that he has won the EPL title n community shield since he left that ur hopeless club, dats a feat no current arsenal player has accomplished! And moreover the season is still young, this is just match dat 6. We might not dominate this season but we will definately claim the spot. GGMU!!!

don't mind those girls when mid season comes they start losing shape. they will eat their words. but David moyes is not doing a good job at all

David moyes is not a good coach at all

sixteen08: Is the Op asking you to fund his education or personal lifestyle
Abeg free the guy na....he has the sole right to either jump on or off your skill acquisition/entrepreneurship bandwagon.

By the way what skills have you acquired,I'd like to know ?

oh me. I am an auto spare parts dealer. I wanted to major in civil aviation but my parents refused. They said I must be either a doctor, lawyer, civil engineer or lecturer, but I said NO. Then they refused to sponsor my education, Then there was a friend of mine that sell auto spare parts, he encouraged me to join him, I hesitated at first but accepted, but now I am enjoying it. I will go back to school someday to study my dream course.

Anthony4578: This is really encouraging,God bless u.

Yes continue deceiving yourselves. by the time you realize where you are, you've spent 10 years at home looking for non existing jobs. smh for Nigeria's affinity for paper qualification

@ sixteen 08
I didn't say that he shouldn't get good grades.

There are quite a few job opportunities for them. but think of it, 5000 people fighting for few available jobs.

skill wise , I said any practical skill you find good enough.
I didn't say that looking for a job is stupid. but it is more sure to be an entrepreneur and you end up contributing to the growth of the Nigerian economy. think of Microsoft or apple or ikea. Look it is looking for a job that is easier but less sure. entrepreneurship is more difficult but sure if you have the right skills. For nigerian economy to grow, it needs entrepreneurs not job seekers. Looking for a job is the easy way out but entrepreneurship is more difficult but sure way to make it in life. That company that will employ you is owned by somebody. a human like you. and he started it from scratch

gentlefrank2000: @cocduck. Keep ur mouth shut if really u dnt kn what Physics is all about. For ur Information I'm a Physics graduate working in a Telecoms firm with gud pay. Physics graduates are highly needed in this sector.
@OP study hard to make a gud grade I bet u will Neva regret it.

Judging from the way you constructed your comment I quickly realized that you are lying. I know about 7 people that went FUTO and read physics, They graduated in 2008. But they are doing other things now, Because they could not find any job in any company at all. Now ask your self how many telecommunications companies exist in Nigeria? How many students graduate from universities in the country? I am not trying to say that he shouldn't get good grades, but he should prepare his mind for the realities of the job market. Develop any practical skill. create a job for yourself grow the business and create jobs for others. not the go to school, GET good grades, find a job and live happily ever. Whereas it is far from the reality in the country.
