Believe me Atiku is already campaigning for his 2019 presidency and he's stylishly wooing the igbos to his side. Of course we all know the key to an igbo man's heart; just be in support of any policy that the current government is against or start talking about biafra freedom or start spewing derogatory or hate statements towards any religion or tribe the igbos are against. Or are you not surprised why the igbos love FFK and fayose ? Igbos are just too gullible!

Let me defer to my more quiet side and reason with you.
Alright you say igbos should not support atiku? Good.
Tell me one reason why they should support buhari and how buhari 's government has helped Igbo interests in Nigeria. This is the same man that insulted them with the 5% statement and slaughtered many of their youths in cold blood in the name of fighting IPOB.
I am sure you will not be able to give me one reason why igbos should go all the way out and support buhari ,when someone else is offering a better deal.
Infact I believe atiku would be a better alternative. Atleast he is not dogmatic and is open to common-sense and reason unlike buhari.
Get wisdom and in all thy getting get understanding. You are not wise, or should I say you are not as wise as you think you are.

Oh really, coming from a frustrated jobless kid whose people are regarded as 5th class citizens of the country.


Again, I'm Master of the Flat-heads.

Who regards them as fifth class? You?
In which sector of the economy are they fifth class? Is it in education or health care? You dey craze for head.
Go outside and tell them that.

Very sad. If it was in a civilized clime, the so-called olasco would be in serious trouble
The damages alone to be paid to her(both punitive and otherwise) would put him out of business.

Russia cannot defeat Britain in a war. British intellectual superiority and sophistication would always shine through just like it did against hitler.

Your country is killing us with GMOs, Ebola, HIV, ISISs. US is a colonial master. Until we can get back at you, well just hate from far. And apply for visas to come take back the money siphoned from our land to yours by your multi nationals who stole all our minerals.

What mindless rubbish from a conspiracy theorist.
America is the reason why you still have one naijeria. Be grateful.

PDP is still focused on buhari? smh. The president is just wasting his time deceiving himself and his zombies in his 4-8 years in power .
I would expect the PDP to instead work on itself, undergo surgical reforms and make itself a truly progressive party of the 21st century,because the opportunity to regain power will come and they need to be ready.

Stop thinking like an slowpoke

There is more rationality in my toe nails than in your entire mind.
A hollow victory enjoyed and applauded only by the APC and their numerous online louts.

The only people happy or pleased with the outcome is APC.
All the other political parties from APGA to KOWA are disgusted at the blatant electoral corruption.

And the third world curse for political supremacy strikes a promising nation, same with Russia. One of the reasons why America would always be ahead of its rivals.
America has perfected democracy and the rule of law.

salabscholar01:
ok, If the question is as straight as it is here, without any mixed up... we must be logical in the process...

The idea of Factorial (!)is applicable to factorize any number and make it even,,,,

I chose 3,11 and 13 respectively...

look, 3! = 3x2x1 = 6

therefore, 3 = 6, an odd number transformed into an even number...

therefore, [6] + [11] + [13] = [30]

3! is not the same as 3, which was what was given in the question.
You are introducing data that was not provided among the list of options.

They are doing this because Nigeria refused to allow them build a base here (Africom).
This drone base is for one thing and one thing only - Nigeria's oil.

Mscheww.
The US already has complete access to Nigerian oil. Infact, it is the US that is saying ''we no want again'' hence the oil price crash.
The US is a great country and has much bigger fish to fry than Nigeria.

Ooni:
my brother, why are we more interested in causing division among Ibos. What is wrong with you? Do you think Ibos wont find out that you are a yoruba like me. This is why people hate us. This is why they say we are chameleons. It u guys that go about making people loathe us.

Shut the eff up.
He is right. The IQ of some igbos really leaves a lot to be desired. The divisions and individualism in igboland is now bothering into the ridiculous.
Divisions created by past military dicatorial governments who are some of the dumbest in the world is what many of you are taking to the extreme.
What the fucck is anambra or Enugu? You are all igbos.

sanandreas:
No to grazing on our land. You can set up grazing ranches over there in the North. Fulani will meet stiff resistance from southerners we assure you that.

You better be specific on which part of the South you are talking about.
Some parts are of the south are already strategic reserves and statements like the one you posted would make them to call you a hater.
There is nothing like South. We have south-east, south-south, and south-west.

.

Anambra or Enugu, who cares where they come from? They are from the east, you moronns. That is what matters.
See useless argument as if we are discussing international politics.
Eugenics seem to have become a necessity in igboland to weed out some low IQ folks there.

CandyDiamond:
Most of Edo people due to their abject poverty and hunger have sold their vote for APC 2k sharing, they will pay back for the next four years with triple poverty and poor governance

They have made their choice consciously or uncounsciously. Calling them out on it would make them term you a hater.
Just fold your hands and watch.

If Baba use this shoe waka up to 10 meters, the sole go commot. As usual with every Igbo aba-made product.

Go use your scarce dollars to import na. China wants to sell.

With over 600 million barrels of crude oil imports by china stored as a buffer, that is nearly as much as America's imported strategic reserves.
Chinkos ain't playing.

One of the mysteries of the oil market is the question of how much crude oil China has squirreled away in commercial and strategic stockpiles.

Now a satellite-imaging firm called Orbital Insight claims to have an answer. It says Chinese inventories in May stood at 600 million barrels, substantially more than commonly thought and nearly as much as the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Chinese storage capacity, which includes working inventory, is four times widely used estimates, Orbital Insight says, adding that the firm has not only counted storage tanks but has also used imaging techniques to figure out how much oil is in the tanks.

The issue could influence expectations in oil markets. If China has built larger reserves than previously estimated, that means much of what looked like oil demand over the past couple of years was not a result of higher consumption but of strategic planning. It would make OPEC’s task of cutting output to drive up prices­ more difficult. And it could provide a buffer for China in the event of a sudden disruption in imported supplies.

The new estimate comes from a firm founded by James Crawford, who formerly worked on Google’s book-scanning project. Crawford said that he recruited some NASA scientists and left Google to start Orbital Insight because the price of Earth-orbiting hardware was falling and the amount of satellite images was booming. He has received backing from the investment firms Sequoia and Google Ventures. The firm pays a percentage of its revenue to satellite-image providers.

“The broad vision is to take large volumes of satellite imagery and make sense of what we’re doing on the Earth and what we’re doing to the Earth,” Crawford said.

For its Chinese analysis, Crawford said the firm went back to images taken from 2010 to 2014 and counted the number of oil storage tanks built and destroyed and came up with a figure of 2,100 storage tanks, far more than the 500 tanks in the industry standard database in TankTerminals.com.

Orbital Insight also used its own algorithms to calculate how much was in the tanks by examining their roofs, which rise and fall depending on how much oil is being stored.

“As the reservoirs are filled and emptied, the roofs rise and fall, reflected in the crescent moon-like shadows from the walls of the reservoir,” the company said in a release.

Orbital Insight honed this technique on about 6,000 tanks in the United States, comparing its figures with those of the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Recently the firm said it could come up with statistics faster than the International Energy Agency, something that could be valuable to oil traders — customers the firm is trying hard to woo.

The firm, however, cannot discern whether there are underground storage facilities.

Orbital Insight’s estimate far exceeds the figure given in a rare glimpse of China’s oil supplies by its government. On Sept. 2, the state-owned Xinhua news agency reported that China had 287 million barrels of oil in strategic storage sites in eight cities as well as in commercial facilities at the beginning of the year. Started in 2004, the Chinese strategic stockpile would be enough to cover only 36 days of oil imports, Xinhua said, based on data from the China National Petroleum Corp.’s Research Institute of Economics and Technology. China’s goal is to have large enough strategic stockpiles to cover 100 days of imports, a target the government’s five-year plan said might not be completed by the 2020 goal.

The U.S. reserve is large enough to cover about 150 days of imports.

However, with low prices, China has been on a buying spree, many analysts believe.

Investment banks and other analysts have estimated that China has been importing 600,000 to 1.2 million barrels a day more than it needs for consumption. If China has just been bargain hunting, it could cut imports and help keep prices low. Or it could press ahead to reach its 100-day goal.

If Orbital Insight is right, that could be closer than anyone thought.

and that guy saying kenyan companies are nowhere to be seen when investing on the continent eti Nigerian banks have invested in EA apart from first bank Nigeria show me any other nigerian bank in EA

KENYA IS THE LARGEST FDI investor in Africa


some comments from this nigerian will make you hate someone for nothing


ignorance will kill you people

This is now an another unfortunate statistics. Just two years ago, Nigeria had by far the largest FDI on the continent, now Kenya and Ethiopia have taken over and it looks the beginning.
Nice. Uhuru kenyata seems to be the real deal. His human rights history though leaves a lot to be desired.

These Kenyans have taken over. A progressive country indeed.
Kenya have zoomed past Nigeria with the speed of light, and of recent the gap has gone even wider.
With the ongoing rapid impoverishment of the Nigerian people, and utter cluelessness of the current government beyond even the Nigerian norm, Kenya is now an ideal that would take a very long time for Nigeria to match.
Good-luck to Kenya.

U fail his first question

I really don't care, sorry. I just care about the implications of this for the 2019 general elections.
Edo state can vote who they like. It is not my governor.
