The North cannot depend on d south forever. U guys better grow up because, d only thing that is constant is change

the North has been dependent on the south since 1914 amalgamation and its not going to change because that's how the br:itish set it and even when it changed in 1960 when Nigeria moved to regionalism some Nigerians were sponsored and supported to start a coup that reset things back to how to bri:tish put it.

it is the support the north get from the eu:roepeans and some willing southern Nigerians that motivates them...

It is not an "opinion". Oprah herself dispelled the rumours.

Just admit you are wrong and move on. It is okay to be wrong

hahn:
Codemaniacs here is a video of Oprah dispelling the rumours herself.



I hope you will now be able to differentiate fact from my opinion

there use to be video of oprah removing her TH sweater and throwing to the ground...

like I said, you are entitled to your opinion, stop trying to change mine...

"While it’s true that Tommy Hilfiger did appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show, it only occurred after the controversy had started when Winfrey opened her May 2, 2007 program by directly addressing it.

“Tommy, in the 21 years that we’ve been on the air, have you ever been on the show?,” Winfrey asked Hilfiger. “Unfortunately, not,” he says back with a sheepish grin on his face.

As Winfrey and Hilfiger dove deeper into the pervasive rumor that had followed him for more than a decade, he admitted, “It’s contrary to what my business motive was at the beginning. I wanted to sell a lot of clothes to a lot of people.”

“Big fat lie,” Winfrey barked out to her audience. “It’s a big, fat lie!”

you are entitled to your opinion...

kramer:
Where's the source?

Meanwhile watch this from 3:44

you should read the comment section of the video for your yourself...

from my experience on nai:raland, there are many whyte s:upremacists who defend other whyte s:upremacists on nai:raland so you're one of the whyte s:upremacists..

wendy is not oprah..

iCauseTrouble:
You think you are the only one with a domain idea? So many researched the domain before you and a few after you. The name was registered by the person who took the bold step to register it.

The comment by hyfr directly above yours has answered it correctly.

hahn:
It is an old rumour and Oprah had to invite Tommy to her show to dispel it.

However I think Wizkid should start his own clothing brand. He has the fab base to make it a success.

I'd definitely rock a Wizzy shirt

It's not a rumour.

He said to Oprah on her show * I didn't make my clothes for blacks " then Oprah removed the TH sweater she wore and stopped that episode.

OGUN622:
He is not a foreigner, He is an historian, a world class historian at that, "nor dae spread your ignorance like butter for bread", he used available sources and eye witness account, that is how history is carried out. Lagos was always under the Oba of Benin, There was no history of Lagos outside the Oba of Benin , what we have in our favor is that there are enough eye witness account to buttress this point and we have extensive materials on it in the books. My very last reply to you, I can't be contending what is settled. It is for you to take heart my brother

"The products of the blacksmith guilds were also means by which the Oba
determined the loyalty or otherwise of a vassal states to Benin kingdom. They were
also the means by which the Oba legitimized the rulers in the vassal states. The
“emblem of authority” or “staff of office” sent by Oba Osemwende (c.1816) to king
Akintoye of Lagos in the course of the 1850s symbolized the Oba’s hegemony over
Lagos and the legitimization of the Akintoye’s reign over his people. The acceptance
of this emblem implied the King of Lagos’ recognition of the over-lordship of the
Oba of Benin; with the obligation of annual tributes to Benin (A.F.C. Ryder, 1977,
p.14).

You have the right and freedom to continue deceiving yourself..

OGUN622:
Lagos was part of Benin Empire, Benin handed Lagos over to the British directly in 1860.

Eko was no corruption of Oko, they do not mean the same thing at all and Eko means war camp in Benin. it was not borrowed at all,quarters with Idumu, Eko and others are colonial relics of Edo on lagos. Families like Obanikoro, Olotu Odibu are families that claim descent from Benin.

"The products of the blacksmith guilds were also means by which the Oba
determined the loyalty or otherwise of a vassal states to Benin kingdom. They were

the foreigner wrote it in 1977 not in the 1800s..

you're quoting a foreigner ... you expect a foreigner to tell the correct history of people the foreigner has no connection with...

In the 1800s, the bri:tish was at war against the Yorubas in Lagos and one of the people fighting them was madame Tinubu, not the Oba of Bini or any Bini warrior..

Years after the death of Madame Tinubu, the foreigners branded her a slave trader in other to demonize her and her legacy....

There is no way any Oba or traditional king or queen in Lagos will accept anything from other Africans as long as it was not a form of trade and they will have to first honor Madame Tinubu before anyone else...

You don't understand the fact that the Bri:tish started the demonizing of Yorubas because of the wars they fought against the Yorubas and attitude the Yorubas had towards the Bri:tish was considered disrespectful by the british...

If Bini empire had influence in Lagos they would have lobbied the bri:tish to build the first school, first college, first hospital e.t.c. in Nigeria in the Bini Empire and also ensured that the Bini empire was the capital of Nigeria..

Don't let foreign revision of history deceive you because it massages your ego...

Yorubas have always had more population than the Binis so it will be foolish for the Binis to try to go to war against the Yorubas whether in pre-colonial times or 2021.

OGUN622:
because we have no history with Kano, we might have with portharcourt but it is not so clear, but there are certainly migrant Edo population in rivers state ( degema and Engenni) they are Edoids group linguistically, and it is in their Orals they migrated from Benin.

Urhobo and Isoko are Edo groups by blood, linguistically and culturally, they share so much similarity with Bini than anyother group in Nigeria because that is what they are ( Edos by ancestry) They have a local name for Bini in their native tongue (Aka) where they migrated from. They are the ones preaching their descent from Bini not the other way round.

There has been some move to downplay Binis influence on precolonial lagos, up till 1850 Lagos paid tribute to the Oba of Benin that is why there is some reinforcement of Opinions on their part, up till the 19th century, Lagos was an integral part of Benin Empire

Lagos was part of present day Ogun state and part of the Oyo empire and it didn't exist as Lagos before the bri:tish and por:tuguese got there it was called Oko ( farm in Yoruba ) by the Yorubas which the Binis corrupted to Eko ( war camp ) because it was heavily guarded and militarized by the Yorubas..

it is foolish for you to try to revise history and link a part of Oyo empire with another totally different empire in Bini empire.. the binis have never had any influence in any part of the Oyo empire.. the binis only traded with the Yorubas.

ThinkSmarter:
Sorry bro, #lol that's not what i mean

you're indirectly saying no Yoruba person or Yoruba company pays the necessary taxes like like custom duty, import duty, export duties e.t.c..

Awoleesu:
Mr. Masari has a good political argument but a lame economics one!

If we take Democratic economies like India, USA etc for instance, you'll discover that a region like Goa decided to promote economically proactive policies when it became clear she had to compete with regions like Punjab and Central India or fall into the non-viable brackets of regions like Pradesh - note that they all have seaports!
The idea is that the economic less-viable states should rather be challenged to bring to the front burner their economic comparative advantages instead of complaining about being threatened (even as a consumer based economy)!

In Masari's Katsina for example, Sharp sand is in excessive abundance. Why can't he think of generating IGR by 'exporting' the commodity to a predominantly rocky Abuja for an economic exchange?

Utah does not begrudge Indianapolis for being a gateway to the US, nor does N.Dakota feel cheated by the prosperity of Florida simply because they operate within the same federation.
Each state look inward to bring up a competitive advantage...

That's what Wike meant by "putting on their thinking caps..." That's what Masari should be doing, and not arguing about being the "demand aide".

What happened to the Katsina Steel Rolling Mill under Masari? This complex is capable of triggering a multiplier effect of chain markets, but what we saw is that it has gone moribund!

So, Oga no one will lower the bar for you simply because you chose to be unproductive... Get in the ring and compete! That's what Democratic economics is all about!

he has no point...

wellmax:
From Masari to Ipobians, everyone is laying cliams to have developed Lagos. Southwesterns are really taking nonsense from other Nigerians. You think indigenous lagosian are fools?

don't mind them Ooooo... let them continue...

that's one of the reasons they'll keep complaining of no jobs forgetting that at least 60% - 80% of companies in the SW are owned by Yorubas and its the same Yorubas that will provide employment opportunities for them that they are abusing and denigrating...

unfortunately for them, more Yorubas are noticing and won't hire a lot of them and fortunately for Yorubas, more Yorubas will get jobs..

Ijscarface:
This singular thought pattern is why we are where we are today and as long as our leaders reason this way we will never progress

There are advantages that lagos has (populations,ports) etc that it can use to its advantage. So also Katsina has some advantages (arable and vast Land for agriculture).

Every state must learn to use what it has in abundance to facilitate trade and business.

Therein lies the unity in diversity that we profess

katsina and a lot of northern states are suffering the effects of desertification so there are no arable lands in most northern states...

don't be deceived by propaganda...

PDPdestroyer:
Bro you'll be making a grave mistake thinking the Blackfire monicker is that of a Northerner. I can tell you authoritatively, the guy is a confirmed Ibo man masquerading as a Northerner. His lines of arguments gave him out because Igbos are the only ones who hold that line of argument and obsession (out of envy) about Lagos. No northerner gives a fvck about the history or ownership of Lagos, only Igbos from time immemorial, hold this line of argument of Lagos being a no-man's-land and other inuendos just of jealousy. Don't ever mistake this guy for a Northerner!

this very topic and the words of the governor proves you wrong... both f:ulanis, ha:usas, ig:bos and some other ethnic nations are very jealous of Yorubas and Lagos...

ThinkSmarter:
He is saying the truth, Lagos and Rivers have ports, but the people that pays the necesarry tax like custom duty, import duty, export, environmental,etc are mostly Igbos and Hausas from the hinterlands who are mostly into importation, exportation, manufacturing and trade that are mostly from Kano, Anambra, Borno, Abia, Kaduna, Imo, etc

so in other words you're saying out of at least 30 million Yoruba people, no Yoruba person is into importation, exportation, manufacturing and trade......

the weed you're smoking is very strong..

Iamgrey5:
Your argument even as half-witted as it sounds defeats the logic behind the argument.

So can the native americans now claim America from the Europeans that once were settlers as you claim?

Can the Blacks now claim they own Egypt without the Arabs throwing them out?

So what makes you think the original "Edo owners" can chase the "Yoruba from Ogbomoso" away from Lagos today?

Having said that, idumota is not the only place in Lagos

What about Abule Egba, Ikoyi, Epe, ikorodu, Ajegule etc..

What is the Edo names of those places?

you should have the intelligence to know when you're commenting with a paid bigot and divide and rule propagandists on NL...

olasquare:
By all means, the fulanis are looking for massive lands across the states which in the future they can claim to be their ancestral lands. It is very clear buhari is the arrowhead of this plan

dapolaw:
You are missing the point, it's because the people has lost trust and faith in the government... So they don't trust them and every move they make is suspicious no matter how good the FG try to paint it. Fulani Herdmen don open everybody eyes.

Premiumwriter2:
there's nothing not to understand about buharis fixation on land.

He's sole aim is to steal land and give it to his kins men..the fulanis.

He came up with that water way bills which says all lands around the water ways belongs to the federal government.

We rejected it. He came with RUGA. And then grazing routes and now farm estates.

All attempts made with all these policies was to grab land and give to cattle herders... The fulanis.

There's nothing mysterious about buhari other than him being a cheap land thief. But he won't succeed. His tenure will end and he'll go back to daura with his tail between his legs. With southerners becoming even more awoken to the power play of the North.

Sbabanani:
I don't know where this govt lost their sense. this is a development, why can't they just go and build it to every state that needs it i. e to all northern states and leave south. i think is even opportunity for north to get special development .

Apart from land grabbing, since its a federal govt project then its also a means of giving federal jobs to mostly f:ulanis in all states especially southern states... If they get the land they will also need monthly salary ( in the form of jobs or amnesty ) to make it viable.. so its not only about giving lands to them, its about creating a federal institution that supports and finances f:ula:ni he:rders and their unborn generation and not the indigenes...

Where's the oppression here, someone is motivating you to work harder and smarter but you're seeing it as oppression, if such person can oppress you, I wonder how you will feel for people in your family who are successful...

Have you asked yourself if there are any successful people in his family

EagleNest:
Well none of the names you mentioned carried out any coup in Nigeria instead they twarted it. And if all you think is that the current mess in Nigeria should remain as far as Igbos never leads Nigeria, then you are only self inflicting wounds to yourself. Igbos are independent in their mind, and only care for justice and equity for all unlike the deceptive neighbors. So enjoy the mess you are proud of, because in una mind u think you are hurting Igbos.

In 1965 Nnamdi Azikiwe was the president of Nigeria, so you're wrong about the fact that Igbos have never lead Nigeria.

ironsi was the first military head of state of Nigeria and the major coup plotters ( Kaduna Nzeogwu and Emmanuel Ifeajuna ) carried out a coup and put ironsi as head of state and Ironsi made changes that has continued and will continue to affect Nigeria and Nigerians..

Ironsi and the 1966 coup plotters are the ones responsible for Nigeria's current mess...

I don't care who becomes Nigeria's president.

In 1965, Nnamdi Azikiwe was the president of Nigeria, so Igbos were leading Nigeria when their fellow Igbos decided to plot coup that ended up inflicting wounds on their fellow Igbos..

EagleNest:
And what did the north do to restore regionalism if they so much loved regional government. None! Rather they went on "military coup" competition, and deceptively took advantage of other tribes, and rigged the whole system for their own selfish benefits. And today the whole nation is in pain. Hippocrites!

the north saw what the ironsi, azikiwe and ojukwu were trying to do and they made sure they held on to it and kept it that way... they did not owe it to anyone to restore regionalism, If Ironsi and ojukwu coup had lasted for years the same way the northern military lasted for years then Igbos like you won't be saying things like "restore regionalism" because it would have favored Igbos and the whole nation will still be in pain..

Ironsi, Ojukwu through their coup had already rigged the whole system to the favor of who controlled the federal govt.. so all any of the other tribes had to do was control the federal government and in this case the northern soldiers ensured they did...

Apus:
Lols! You have a point. Which is why we got no choice with regards to SH.

Brandbucket is very lazy. Imagine it takes up to 30 days to review just one name plus Low exposure and domain retargeting.

BB is good when a person wants to liquidate names I use to have 9 names but I let the names expire. I tried to liquidate them during 1 month grace after they had expired but I realized I couldn't transfer the names to BB..

But on SH I have 121 premium names and own 35.. on alter I own 18 all of them are SH and BB rejects..

When I noticed some of my rejected unregistered names on SH were getting approved for others I resubmitted like 5 names that were rejected that I own and 3 were approved.

ClixMaster:
It was submitted under 'unregistered' and available as at the time of submission. The thing just shock me. Brave/Bid is the domain name

Brave is a strong keyword. Bid is also a good keyword. Then the name itself is an alliteration..

Beware of SAV dot com there's someone or SAV themselves register names and put a price of $280 on them.

fergusen:
A Squadhelp registered domain I sold earlier this year had 3 previous rejects!
I wonder how the creatives who submitted the domain previously would feel after finding out...

. They'll feel bad..

At least it sold and you got paid ...

Apus:
Sincerely, I wish other top market places like brand bucket can up their game and break SH's monopoly of unregistered names. I read somewhere that SH may reject some names due to oversaturation or abundance of similar names at the time. A better option will be to appeal those names or resubmit after 60 days, if you can't register yourself.

I'm begining to doubt their integrity though.

I haven't sold any name on brandbucket and most of my names ( 6 ) there barely get views. I think BB favors popular domainers with huge portfolios.

So alter and sh are my only hope.

ClixMaster:
Please, has anyone witnessed this before? A domain I submitted on Friday, got pre-approved today and was told to go approve. I clicked approved and noticed the domain has been registered and listed for $2k(I don't know where). What can I do in this case? I feel SH cheated me off this one

I submitted stack/hippo , cart/dove , small/rush, lex/alo , script/dove e.t.c all were rejected but months later they are approved on SH for other people.

Another thing is domainers think alike..

But I'm still suspicious...

Positivepoint:
Yes the distributor is a consumer representative who buys onbelf of HIS potential consumers for a commission from the manufacturers for his volume.

The vat paid buy the distributor is only transfered to the consumers. At every level of sale vat is inclusive but the manufacturers remit vat collected to govt.


It's like a relay race. Same baton is passed down not a different one.

No. This is Wrong..

I'm not responding to comments since you don't know what VAT is and since you're a paid bigot.

Positivepoint:
Pls go to ur revenue office and ask if the VAT on ur recharge card is remitted in ur state first.

Emir01:
You have no Idea

You both have no idea.

The street vendors selling recharge cards in your state pay VAT to the distributor of the recharge cards in your state.

You and some other people on this thread are Buuhari media consultants paid to spread mis-information.

It's pointless to keep replying your comments

Positivepoint:
Nope u don't understand the VAT is already inclusive at the point of purchase from the manufacturers, when u sell in jigawa u re only transferring the vat u paid to the manufacturers to the consumers because the are the final users.

Meaning the vat paid in Lagos is paid by the potential consumers of the products.

The dealer is just a channel or way to market for the manufacturers.

When he sale to jigawa consumers he is recovering his money inclusive tax paid and profit.

The tax in Lagos is on behalf of his potential consumers not the dealer.

Positivepoint:
The distributor did not add any value thus cannot charge VAT, the distributor is only a sales channel from the manufacturer to the consumers nothing more and get commission for his channel. The manufacturers whom added value to products the they manufactured and sell are the only people required to charge VAT. Ur degree is questionable bro.

You obviously don't know what VAT is..

If the distributor is not the manufacturer then the distributor is also a consumer who pays VAT when buying the products from the manufacturer.

The distributor ( wholesale consumer ) then sells it to other consumers ( small scale consumers like you and other people ) who will also pay VAT when buying it.

Positivepoint:
Yes that is the ideal situation but in Nigeria I those not happen that way.

But VA decentralization is a welcome idea most people will be shocked at how the numbers will be looking like.

That's how it happens in Nigeria. You're the one that would be shocked at how the numbers will look.
