NB: Most of what I speak here are in Parts and Summary to give you a fair understanding. This I will continue until our call to service.

NATURE OF CROSS RIVER STATE

PART A:
ABOUT CROSS RIVER STATE
Cross River is a coastal state in southeastern Nigeria, bordering Cameroon to the east. Its capital is at Calabar.

Cross River State is located in Nigeria's Delta region.It is bounded on the North by Benue State, on the South by Akwa Ibom State, on the East by Cameroun Repulic and on the West by Anambra and Imo States.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS
Cross River State has 18 Local Government Areas: Abi, Akamkpa, Akpabuyo, Bakassi, Bekwara, Biase, Boki, Calabar-Municipal, Calabar South, Etung, Ikom, Obanliku, Obubra, Obudu, Odukpani, Ogoja, Yakurr, Yala

NB:
1. Calabar South (where you can easily find BAD BOYS) and Calabar Municipal (The more civilized part of the state) is surrounded by Odukpani, Akpabuyo, Bakassi, and Akamkpa that is between 30 minutes to 1 and a half hour drive. THESE AREAS DEFINE THE CENTRAL PART OF CROSS RIVER STATE

2. Biase and Yakurr (with Ugep as the next civilized part in CRS) are atleast 2 hrs drive away from Calabar

3. From Calabar, Obubra (Where NYSC camp is situated with) is about 3hours drive away (with a bad road and brown soil) and Ikom (The next civilized LGA) 4 hour drive. THESE AREAS DEFINE THE CENTRAL PART OF CROSS RIVER STATE

4. Ogoja (With Igoli as the next civilized area), Bekwara and Yala are about 6-8 hours drive away from Calabar (Paying between N1700-N2500 as transport. Don't forget to eat very-well before travelling.)

5. Obudu, Obanliku (With Cattle Range Resort) and Boki are between 6-8 hour drive away from Calabar (Don't forget to eat very-well before travelling.) THESE AREAS DEFINE THE NORTHERN PART OF CROSS RIVER STATE

6. To be continued...

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

Speaking across the State collectively, cassava, yams, rice (mostly central and northern), plantain, banana, cocoyam, maize, cocoa (Ikom), rubber, groundnut and palm produce (Mostly central and southern).

Mineral resources in Cross river State include limestone, titanium, tin ore, ceramic raw materials and hardstone (Mostly southern, especially Akamkpa)


I no fit do this thing all at once o!. TO BE CONTINUED...

PEOPLE, I THINK WE SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THOSE VERY IMPORTANT DISCUSSES KBS468 HAS THROWN UP THERE.

[size=20pt]EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING TO SAY (ATLEAST, FOR YOUR OWN STATE OF ORIGIN/RESIDENCE ) [/size]

This will help us all to learn and gather as much information we need (just like DTOBS calls it "Feasibility Study" for the various states which will enhance our choice and decisions during the the service year. I think its pertinent we pay attention to this. Who knows, someone might just 'leak out' the secret to your dream.

REMEMBER, TIMELY INFORMATION IS WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE!

[size=20pt]I AM STARTING WITH CROSS RIVER STATE. OFF HERE I GO!

jubrealguy:
truth be told, I'm. A poor man, but bring that 5m first, make i mail u my acc number?

Anyway, there are certain amount of money that are not deposited to certain 'Class' of account. First thing first,
=Do you have a business idea or proposal?
=Have you develop the business system and structure upon which that will be run (independent of your presence)?
=Have you registered it (atleast as a "Business Name" if not "Limited Liability Company")
=Do you have a Current Account in the said business name (Compulsory for LLC Optional for Business Name depending on the business terrain)

IF YES TO YES TO ALL THE ABOVE, THEN COME I'LL SHOW YOU HOW AND WHERE TO GET THE MONEY (which is similar to what DTOBS is saying) WITH LITTLE OR NO COLLATERAL

Kbs468:
DTOBS, good one from you there and I think that is in line with the latest challenge on board actually. Atleast knowing a little more about our next potential environment for nothing less than a year would go a long way in influencing whatever decision one might make with regards to the CBN and HERITAGE BANK stuff absolutely.

Exactly brother! Someone said that if you give a POOR MAN N5 Million today, its just a matter of 2-5 years, he'll return to where he came from. Because poverty is not the absence of money, but is the absence of the right mind (ideas, business system, capacity ) to produce money.

DTOBS:
Exactly my brother.
But first thing first, and that's where "feasibility studies" comes in.


By the way: that thing that you and chommieblaq dey talk for Hausa haufa nah...
*whispering* shey u dey help me beg her ni cos she don leave me!!!

I REALLY LOVE THE BOLDED! I BELIEVE THAT IS WHAT KBS468 IS TRYING TO HELP US DO WITH THE QUOTE BELOW:

Kbs468:
Good Morning Citizens

Yes that was the Intro yesterday and we bring to you the details this morning straight up

And here it goes down below before we start dancing Konko Below with our Brains and fingers

Actually, the latest challenge is nothing new to all of us though both from our point of view here in GOLDEN CITY and in the outside world around our walls which is why GRACELANDERS and others that have anything to do with NYSC too would be welcomed whole heartedly as Key Figures and participants around our dinning Table this time around


And here we go


Note:
¤* It's not COMPULSORY that you must respond with the exact figure or degree of imput so that you won't be discouraged to say something or contribute your quota

¤* You can also choose to give your response part by part instead of typing out a whole at once because some persons have phobia for long commentary/Views/opinion or idea postage

Alright, Now, Up next is the Challenge as presented below

1.
20 THINGS WE NEED TO KNOW AND/OR DO AS GRADUATES or BEFORE SERVICE ELAPSES
2.
5 THINGS TO DO IN 5 DIFFERENT STATES THAT CAN IMPROVE ONE'S STANDARD OF LIVING AS A CORPS MEMBER

This 2nd one can be structured with respect to building a career path during service year, employability and job creation, relationships, etc


3. CULTURAL SETTINGS OF OUR PRESENT STATES OF RESIDENCE WITH RESPECT TO THE PREDOMINANT SOURCE OF INCOME, RECREATIONAL AVENUE AVAILABLE SUCH AS PARKS, TOURIST SITES, etc

In this line.. we are trying to reintroduce the talk about our present state of basement again So that we can refresh our minds about each state of the federation again

4. IF YOU ARE PRIVILEGED TO BE THE PRESIDENT FOR ONE WEEK, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHANGE ABOUT NIGERIA?

5. IF YOU ARE THE NYSC Director General for one year, WHAT CHANGES WOULD YOU ENVISAGE AND PROMOTE ABOUT THE SCHEME?

6. IF YOU ARE THE Minister for Education, WHAT CHANGES WOULD YOU EFFECT IN SALVAGING NIGERIA'S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM?



In Trying to buttress our explanations, we should bear in mind that

The essence of the No.2 is to have the 37 states discussed out so that citizens can have an idea about the nature of the states that we have relative to NYSC which would help enhance preparation for entrepreneurship during service year.

While For No.3, 4 5 & 6, many Nigerians "KNOW" (in abstract) what they think is the responsibility of leaders as it relates to their present predicament, hence the importance of this discuss as our MENU for the time being.

Kbs468:
But I don't think there is any reason for not increasing the allawee na because PMB said there is over #1,000,000,000,000 in the federation account courtesy TSA ( Treasury Single Account) waiting to be deployed coupled with the recovered stolen funds here and there, why can't they move for it ASAP?

Atleast, that would compensate for their withdrawal from paying the #5,000 stipends for the unemployed youths and the elderly.

Good Morning Mr. KBS468. I think the report from this link: https://www.nairaland.com/3010320/president-buhari-presents-10-months-scorecard has it that the TSA recovered N3 Trillion which will come handy during the implementation of this year's budget.

From a similar report I saw (stating that there are about 260,000 corp members to cater for in this fiscal year), I made the following analysis:

[size=15pt]PART A[/size]
Transport Money for 260,000 Corp Members = N3000 x 260,000 Corps = N780,000,000.00

Allowance for 260,000 Corp Members a Month = N19,800 x 260,000 Corps =N5,148,000,000.00
Allowance for 260,000 Corp Members a Year = N5,148,000,000 per Month x 12 Months = N61,776,000,000

TOTAL = Transport Money for 260,000 Corp Members + Allowance for 260,000 Corp Members a Year = N780,000,000.00 + N61,776,000,000 = N62,556,000,000.00 + Contingencies (Cost of Camping, etc)

[size=15pt]PART B[/size]
Transport Money for 260,000 Corp Members = N3000 x 260,000 Corps = N780,000,000.00

Allowance for 260,000 Corp Members a Month = N40,000 x 260,000 Corps =N10,400,000,000.00
Allowance for 260,000 Corp Members a Year = N10,400,000,000 per Month x 12 Months = N124,800,000,000.00

TOTAL = Transport Money for 260,000 Corp Members + Allowance for 260,000 Corp Members a Year = N780,000,000.00 + N124,800,000,000 = N125,580,000,000.00 + Contingencies (Cost of Camping, etc)

MY PEOPLE, I ALWAYS TRY NOT TO BE AN ADVOCATE OF CORPS' ALLOWANCE INCREMENT. BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THIS ANALYSIS IN RELATION TO HOW 'MONEYS' ARE BEING SPENT/DIVERTED FOR SEVERAL REASONS THAT CAUSES LITTLE OR NO EFFECT ON THE NATION AS A WHOLE, IS APPROXIMATELY N127 BILLION NAIRA TOO MUCH TO SPEND ON CORP MEMBERS WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH ALL THE 'HURDLES' OF BEING A GRADUATE?

[size=15pt]MY PEOPLE, THIS IS THE FIRST THING I'LL DO IF I BECOME THE PRESIDENT FOR 1 WEEK![/size]

GOOD MORNING ALL!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRO...

Is this your excuse for being late? why not start by apologising you come dey change story
Cunning man

Kbs468. Amodu. Fraiser. Greatestnan. Eaglevision. Dhameerlharay. Abbeyunique2. Crobboy. Jubrealguy. Walexitouk. Darey00. Ayosco2008. And every other guys in the house..

Una sabi dis game??

Chai.. dose days

"ENDING MAN" was the precursor to this your SEGA... where we also played Mario, Tanks, Mortal Combat, etc

jubrealguy:
good morning sir, una don carry physics enter here again?

Good afternoon brother. If it will require Physics to drive home a point, then so be it. WE NOR WAN HEAR SAY THEM TALK SAY... STATEMENT.

spixytinxy:
story for d gods

After we have started living in the light of this reality. I know because of the complexity of the 'game' you're involved in, you are really trying to watch your back.
I understand with you.

iambibi:
.*turns and Wispers to nxt pesin* .its only in dis kinda situation u find CROBBOY making cool use of the few times he actually spent in physics class *nods head* Mmmmm Hmm he use to be a dodger buh nw i guess he's changed, wait lemme say hi to him... CROBBOY gud morning sir, hw was ur nite dear.. Hope it was fab.. Lol

The way you have long followed me and my matter eeehhh, is it that there is something you are trying to tell me, but still trying to garner effrontery and audacity while looking for a conducive environment?

Madam iambibi free yourself o. I am not as difficult as you think.

My night was splendid even though you were a little stringent with me the last time we spoke yesterday because of your husband's presence. I UNDERSTAND SHA

Fraiser:
my nyt was awsome bro...hw is your day goin?

Fraiser:
lol...oya bring it on

My day has been cool. Delivered some mails to some offices.

Back to your second comment. Its good to express such great willingness to cooperate. You can continue with your keeping Spixytinxy as your girlfriend (which is obviously at your detriment). I do not have plans to keep her as my girlfriend or marry her (because she is HEAVILY married with no future ambition for a divorce). When I embark on 'PLAYING GAMES' for sake of gratifying myself with some pleasures and comfort, as a married man, I look for people with similar interests (like spixytinxy, iambibi, etc) so that no one eventually feels guilted.

As you can see, we have different motives and intentions.

Fraiser:
u no fit compete wit me o... U nor just fit, I don dey on her matter no b today o

Who is trying to compete with you When we are two parallel unequal forces moving in opposite direction that will never come into collision

Fraiser:
how you go talk sey my girl friend dey do ameboism, dat is defamation of character... Dont let me take it legal wit u crobboy

She is even your girlfriend That makes it interesting

So you ride your own horse while I ride mine. No conflict of interest.

How was your night?

spixytinxy:
chesus chwist, can neva have interest in u, av u seen kbs648 my cute husband, chai wat handsome about ur worgly face

Maybe you don't know those things you are doing there are expression of attraction.

I'm not supprised anyway. When a woman stays too long without a 'lovemate' this is what it causes.

spixytinxy:
so dis is wat I get for bn nice abi, no wahala. U call me amebo nd I will u show u d colour of ameboism

can any other ameboism be of greater magnitude than your self acclaimed hand work so far?

I suspect all these you are doing are indirect expression of your interest in me.

ITS NOT MY FAULT THAT I AM VERY VERY HANDSOME

Oyehomie my man is that you?

Lo, Thou had causeth me thy friend to be lonelieth. What maketh thou absent and where art thou cometh from?

spixytinxy:
lol, as u nd SC31 no dey behave like couples nko, my nite was awesome, n urs

If no be say na ogogoro and gworo you dey trade, nor be me and my wife for come for extra-moral lessons. Jubrealguy wey been try am without considering your profession nor be you try to scatter their marriage for them?

THE WAY WEY WE DEY CARRY OUR LOVE MATTER DEY OKAY FOR US.

Thank you Mrs Amebo!

Showers of rain made my night a splendid one.

spixytinxy:
am not trying to b funny

So na to find my trouble come be your handwork abi?

Good Morning Dear!

Yes! So you don't get impersonated. I trust you have a good memory

Since everyone is sleeping, Let me join them!

Cold night with rain in Calabar.

Its such a great one!

Fraih:
#phew

No joke o!

Fraih:

Nah, at all...
Do I really say very little?
Well, by default, I dont like to talk much, except I am compelled to or when I need to state some facts for better clarity.

That is great.

But Fraih, I hear you say very little about relationships here as conventional people.

Do you have guiding Principles that are in opposition to this?

Fraih:
Yea, just that Idenyijoshua has been peeping...

That is true. Mr. Idenyijoshua you may feel free to express yourself brother.

Dedicated to my NEW SWEET HEART *+*+ FRAIH+*+*







Fraih you and me actually seem to be the only citizens awake from my observation.

Fraih:
CROBBOY, I actually mixed up the names.
I never intend to ignite a bias or strike some friction. I thought I apologized for that

Don't mind me joor. I just needed to write something before sleeping

jubrealguy:
baba, no matter for ground jare
the p abt ds is when u want to quote someone quoting like ds, u av to delete unnecessary stuffs which mite b very stressful

This lady (Fraih) did a good job there. You may need to go back and reat it thoroughly and comprehend it. Its that simple Brother!

Fraih:
LoL
Its allowed

***
How has SC31 been? Been a while in here.

She is absolutely doing good. She is only attending to other vital issues that will aid in the enhancement of the course of her rising as it pertains to both academic and corporate future ambitions. She is also doing all these while rebuilding the broken relationships between herself, family and associates which her continual involvement in the affairs of this city had degenerated into.

She is definitely doing good I presume. But come to think of it, when you were portraying actions which were suggestive of being ignorant of the courtship between me and SC31, were your actions actually fashioned by ignorance or geared (deliberately or unconsciously) towards igniting a bias while making a comparism to other relationships?

Fraih:
Na so Nobody fit shook me for corner...

Na so!

Fraih:
Nahh, I actually did not

You fit copy this one add to your e-book.
And it will be one of the 101 ways to quote multiple posts on Nairaland
By that, you have more people interested in your e-seminar.

Chai, this woman fit even win case for supreme court sef!

Fraih:
CROBBOY, Applause!!! Nicey!
