the deal that brought e:e:bola into Nigeria.

DeLaRue:
The gas escapes from beneath the soil. It is a natural event.

I'm not sure there's an easy permanent solution.

A temporary solution is to use a wet handkerchief to cover one's nose when a leak happens.

this event did not happen from year 0001 until 2025 which means it is not from beneath the soil...

stop saying nonsense..

this is coming from a factory in Ogun state that both the FG and Ogun state government do not want to close down because of their greed of what they are gaining from the factory...

SIGMATRON:
Daft argument. Begging is different from forceful obstruction and hijack of access by cultural Lagosians.

it is not in the culture of Lagosians to beg or to be beggars.

Lagos was a farm and a war camp that means it was filled with hard working farmers and warriors who were protecting the farmers and creating swords, cutlasses and other farming tools and weapons..

Lagos has never ever had LAZY people until a so called jAGABAN arrived there..

Jakumo:
In the absence of adequate security, discretion is the better part of valor.

Hide your money when you are surrounded by poverty, if you value your life over the need to show off.

he is surrounded by criminals not poverty..

you don't blame the victim for been attacked unless you are bad government supporter and keyboard warrior of APC..

i hope you can afford to buy fuel with your keyboard warrior salary

Jakumo:
I just pray make that rich man no go take yanga wake trouble for where him dey sleep jeje.

you see why I said you are more evil..

why are bad things coming to your mind towards a successful man.

will you die or fall sick if its good things you allow into your mind

occfx:
I was angry before but this your post come make sense small.

Stop showing wealth in a poor environment they no dey hear. If you must show wealth carry police or army. Only intimidation works here

Lagos is the richest state in Nigeria according to stats..

blame the Lagos government for condoning agberoes and criminals in its streets and not ensuring security all over the state.

Jakumo:
Nobody is disputing the source of that well paid football players wealth. His displaying that wealth in a Third World country places him at risk of continuous harassment by beggars, or worse, kidnapping that could send him to the grave even after ransom has been paid.

Lagos is not the whole of Nigeria.

he is displaying it in Lagos and this is how entitled men in Lagos behave..

in other states outside the South West he may not get such reaction.

Godfullsam:
Stop calling people animals.

Hunger and joblessness can make someone do things unimaginable.

Do you think you know better than those guys?

You are not better than them in anyway, you are only more privileged

codetemplar is even been kind.

those guys are worse than animals at least animals know how to hunt and get food but full grown adults don't know how to get food on their own.

it has nothing to with hunger and joblessness but everything to do with bad governance in Lagos..

codetemplar is better than them in every way he is not more privileged he is more sensible which he is using to be independent.

blame Lagos government and the entire South West states for letting their secondary schools produce such people.

Jakumo:
Ok Mr. Money Bags. Show it off to hungry and angry crowds. Show them how rich you are.

you are more evil than the agberoes and beggars in Lagos..

ChiefS:
A wise man in Nigeria today should not display stupendous wealth. Be modest, as the country is not safe. Poverty and crime are pervasive. Most people have an entitlement mentality, envy and jealousy.

South West Nigeria is not safe..

Don't paint the whole country bad for things that happen in Lagos.

ABI28:
Why the comparison for God sake. Are we in the same economy situation in every aspect. A working economy can never be compared with a failed system like ours.

to them we are in the same economy.

nairalanda1:
Many of you have a flawed idea about life in the USA.
(I used to think that everyone in the UK lived a good life...and had phone back in the 1970's and 80's. In real life...lol).

USA get good minimum wage, but they also have higher costs of living that make the minumum wage meaningless. And many workers there do not even earn up to minimum wage self.

Nigeria is not a good country, we have messed up, but life in USA is not good.

Also, selling fuel at cheap prices is why we have a massive debt, and also are borrowing at very high rates as a result. Make we accept some hard truths. Person wey tell you this no wan vote tinubu, and I even want him out, but I also know what is reality and what is not. ANd the cold reality is that your government cannot afford fuel subsidy, and has not been able to afford it since the late 1980's self.

Unless we are ready to make the hard choices USA Made to be prosperous,, self.

Too much borrowing is why we have a massive debt and not due to selling fuel at cheap prices..

you have come back with your mis-information campaign...

Parachoko:
Pastor Suleiman can support a Christian candidate but it's now a crime for Muslims to support Muslim candidate

Suleiman is not from the south west so people in the south west do not listen to him and to make matters even more fuulish his name is even suleiman which is a muslim.

so you yourself stop been fuulish...

roads, schools, hospitals built by a governor are used by everyone whether they are stone worshippers, muslims or christians, snake worshippers e.t.c..

the roads, schools, hospitals do not care who uses them.

people from Niger republic vote in Nigeria and nothing is done to them...

lawani:
Your crude oil is adding less than 15 times what kolanut adds to the economy. If you mean government revenue, it is now less than 25 percent at federal level without adding other tiers of government that have revenue

go and use kolanuts as collateral for Loans since kolanuts is more important than crude oil..

Crude oil is and will always be 90% - 95% of Nigeria's government revenue anyone that says anything else is a paid keyboard warrior and deceiving themselves..

I am not from eastern Nigeria, I am from western Nigeria and I will admit the obvious truth when it comes to natural resources..

Only resources in western Nigeria that can also generate billions is the iron-ore and bitumen and bauxite...

eastern Nigeria is the richest region in Nigeria in terms of natural resources as long as crude oil and gas remain relevant..

Vision101:
Lagos contributes 33% of Nigerian GDP. Which country will survive such a loss?

lawani:
Lagos is around 13 percent of the population. It contributes up to thirty percent of GDP because of higher cost of living. It contributes VAT, CIT, PiT, Customs etc to Nigeria and when added together it should be close to 40 percent of FG revenue presently
If it removes itself from Nigeria it will be a country of around 25 million that is prosperous and Nigeria's revenue will shrink by almost half. It will shock the FG but they will turn to other parts of the country to block the leakage. They can double VAT by removing the minimum revenue required for a company to file. They can double CIT the same way too. So the reality is it will shake Nigeria but it will also change Nigeria by force

flokii:
You're a very Ignorant person.. even with all the IGR statistics released annually, you still prefer to vomit trash from your mouth.
Lagos State alone contributes over 60 percent of total revenue sustaining Nigeria while the SS States combined with all the oil noise contribute less than 30% to national purse.

The greedy Ojukwu saw this and decided to jump Ogun, Ondo etc. into Lagos State to annex the State as part of Biafra territory, which they are still fighting hard to achieve till date.

stop saying rubbish..

Nigeria's economy is based on Crude oil from eastern Nigeria.

the eastern region is so rich that its natural resources is what's keeping 36 states in Nigeria afloat thanks to the fuulishness of ironsi, Nzeogwu and ojukwu..

if the eastern region did not fuulishly and stupidly kill the leaders of the other regions and abolish regionalism regions then the eastern region would have been ahead of the other regions by far..

Ojukwu did not see anything that's why him, Nzeogwu and ironsi were so fuullish to attack other major ethnic nations and abolish regionalism.

Ojukwu, Nzeogwu and ironsi had zero-ECONOMIC acumen...

FSBoperator:
The reason you guys are against Tinubu's reforms is because he floated the naira which inadvertently has slowed down imports.


Any President who discourages importation and promotes local production , is an enemy of the Ibo.

And the most annoying thing is that your region contributes next to nothing in FX earnings but are the ones calling for subsidized FX that will go into imports that will further drain our FX reserves and see to total deindustrialization .


I wonder how you guys will sustain such a model in your Biafra ?

How will your govt pay for imported goods when you export nothing ?

the reason they are against the self-acclaimed "Y" president is that he is not the same ethnicity as them..

the "Y" president also wants to tax every ethnic nation in Nigeria into poverty whether they are "Y" people or not.. so even honest "Y" people are also against the president...

FSBoperator:
The river port in Onitsha is testament to how Ekwenme wanted to divert Nigeria's economic hub away from the SW to his SE.

It failed woefully .

If that port could function , I tell you that they won't be in Lagos .

Nigeria did not exist 150 years ago so there is nothing like "Nigeria's economic hub".

there are over 100 ethnic nations within Nigeria that means there is the potential to have over 100 economic hubs..

SW is the economic hub of the "Y" people while the "i" people have eastern Nigeria as their economic hub and already have ports in PORT HARCOURT and Delta state...

besides they cannot divert the "Y" people's economic hub so all they have to do is start their businesses in the "Y" people's nation and have control over the economics and politics of the state and since the current set of "Y" politicians and states are not creating jobs for the "Y" people then the "Y" people will sell their lands to non-"Y"s because a "Y" president has destroyed the economy of the the ethnic nations within Nigeria.

PulaPower:
Foreigners have been dealing in Yorubaland since 12th century..

See, before I continue, first of all thank God if you be Yoruba.. ( Go explain more as per why later)

Foreigners have been becoming something in Yoruba land right from centuries..

Foreigners have been engaging in our political & kingship leadership from the centuries. For example, Obatala, as I heard but haven't confirmed, wasn't a Yoruba but a Nupe man... Imma still confirm and give update later.

So, from Yoruba culture, lifestyle and tradition, were people who have always been open to visitors. It has always been a land of growth & business..

So, you're completely right. I only added what I said cuz I wanna add more to your point..

stop saying rubbish and trying to re-write South West history just to attach your pula blood to the south west..

Edu3Again:
See how the devil confuses you.

Where is the evidence they are not the same?

If they were not God;s people then how come the whole world hates them?

How come many countries cant defeat them?

They cant be defeated becos God is with them to deliver them from alllah

the most hated people in the whole world are black people...

omooba969:
Dey play!

It's obvious you're not a good student of history, as I'd have expected you to check out some case studies such as Sudan and South Sudan or Ethiopia and Eritrea, then update your knowledge of African politics.

It's like you don't like peace.

that's as a result of the ego of the presidents or political leaders in those countries.

Gbogboski:
You can start your own airline and charge kobo kobo

I hope your keyboard warrior salary can afford the new fuel price the people you are defending have chosen for you..

omooba969:
Nigeria's major problem is our failure to uphold the RULE OF LAW. I don't think Nigeria should disintegrate bcoz there's strength in numbers.

just because you are in China does not mean you cannot transfer funds to help your family members in Nigeria..

as long as we are on the same continent then we are always integrated.

dis-integration only affects policies on migration and trade and nothing else..

dis-integration does not mean tribe A will begin chasing other tribes out of tribe A territory..

Gbogboski:
Airlines in a third world country cannot compete with ones in a developed country. They have economies of scale we don't have and a developed aviation infrastructure.

Stop giving excuses for extortion, corruption and incompetence in the African airline industry unless you are also corrupt.

Gbogboski:
blame the devalued naira. When you convert the amount to dollars it amounts to around $320.

Note that aviation business is a dollar denominated business

wellmax is correct. It is too expensive.

Distance between New york and Atlanta is 1400km.

New york to Atlanta costs between $75 for one-way and for round-trip $105.

Distance between Enugu and Douala is 565km

Enugu to Douala costs $345 for one-way and for round-trip $690.

owobokiri:
You are comparing apples with oranges again...
Have you tried importing beef or cattle into Nigeria say from China or Australia or Argentina? Try that in the spirit of a liberal capitalist economy and see what the Nigerian custom service will do to you.
That sector of business is highly protected with state might..

Do you know that most cattle bought in Nigeria come from fulanis outside of Nigeria? Fulanis from Guinea, Mauritania, Chad, Niger etc, can easily walk across the border into Nigeria with thousands of castles, crisscross the whole country as they want without anyone stopping them, sell their castles at the most exorbitant prices, change the income into dollars and immediately disappear into the neighbouring countries from where the came...
No taxes, no rates, no duties and no police checks!

All these because a fulani created federal structure, has made policies that compel me and you to never import beef, even during the time of beef shortages. Even egen it is cheaper elsewhere. We must buy from only the ones you see in Nigeria..and who rears the ones you see in Nigeria?? Its The fulani... They even a "Ministry of Livestocks" as we speak...
If you are sure of taxing the Chinese shop owners, what about the migrant fulanis? Have you asked yourself why they don't pay taxes?

All I want is for the government to.protect the traders the same way they protect the fulanis and their castles..

stop lying to lawani..

South Eastern people created the federal structure Nigeria uses today because they were angry that Ahmadu Bello and Akintola were sacking South East people from the universities and other institutions in the northern region and western region..

your politicians and leaders in the 1960s could not forecast the oil boom that awaited the SE region and instead killed the leaders of other regions, abolished regionalism that would have greatly empowered the eastern region and started a useless war that affected the SE people more than others...

yes Lawani professorpabx from their responses are not business savvy and do not know how to grow economically because the only people that benefit from taxes are government employees mainly the highly placed government employees because when the asian people come they will give Nigerians the lowest paying jobs and that's if they do not bring in their own people and give their own people the well-paying jobs.

the only way you can grow an economy through taxes is if the country owns companies that are involved in production, FMCG, agriculture, construction, refineries, pharmacies, technology e.t.c then the taxes can fund these companies since the companies will hire Nigerians.

but the Nigerian government does not own companies that are involved in such so the taxes are used to fund highly placed government employees only and not the general public and there are no safety nets like cheap housing, free food, cheap or free education e.t.c provided by the government in Nigeria so taxes are not felt by the general public.

its the same reason Akintola and Ahmadu sacked the SE people because the SE people had the well paying jobs the British gave them while the indigenes were not employed or given lowest paying jobs because the Bri:tish uses divide and conquer in everything they do because they could have employed the indigenes and trained them but they intentionally chose the SE people in other to perpetuate their divide and conquer strategy.

so after independence, Ahmadu Bello and Akintola started to hire their own people but the angered the leaders of the eastern region and then the same euro:peans using their strategy funded the SE people to start a war.

sigmax:
Lol ,I laugh,it's like saying Google product is not USA because one of the co founder is Russian or USA didn't pioneer Nuclear weapons because the scientists were Germans , or iPhone is not USA because some parts were made in china ,even with all these ludicrous arguments ,these industries are privately owned and that's my point . The impact companies like Google ,Tesla ,Nvidia Etc are making is USA is immeasurable.

South and East are not one ,I know you're from eastern part of the country ,you're not proud of it that's why you claim West earlier ,the South have their own distinct ethnicities and what you're trying to do is ethnic cleansing and that's why most of these people have rejected you several times . Even with that ,if we assume east and some smaller parts like the fractions in Delta and Benin ,its still minute compared to the west ,even only Oyo states landmass is just about 1km2 different from the entire East !

Personally,I dont care about USA or their politics but when we see the truth ,we should say it , USA is the most prosperous and developed country in the world ,therefore a model !

China is the most prosperous country in the world...

South and east are one just the same all of black Africans are one..

they may be different ethnicities but due to proximity they can relate better with each other..

I see Nigeria based on natural resources and the value of the natural resources in each region then I assess the economic strength of each region based on their natural resources.

if the eastern region did not fuulishly and stupidly kill the leaders of the other regions and abolish regionalism regions then the eastern region would have been ahead of the other regions by far..

the western region has zero income from iron ore and bitumen.

the eastern region is so rich that its natural resources is what's keeping 36 states in Nigeria afloat thanks to the fuulishness of ironsi, Nzeogwu and ojukwu...
