I don't trust that mugabe. I hope he dosent nationalise the company tho

A very risky investment indeed.
Mugabe is very unstable.
Any small disagreement between mugabe and buhari and dangote's investment in zimbabwe is gone.

Monalisa's lips just brings back memories.
Beautiful woman.

The twin worwor sha.

Sorry but there is NOTHING you can do in 4 years time. Jega has given PVC to all the street urchins in the North. The North now have a complete strangle hold on power. Buhari has moved to placate the Northern minorities and in so doing is re-enacting the 'One North' vision. With the south divided Buari will sweep into power again in 2019 even if all he does between now and then is chew kola nuts and dream of President Michelle of West Germany.

Sorry but we tried to warn people but they did not listen. You don't know what you have till you loose it.

Of course he would win again.
Nigeria is hopeless, i tell you.

anonimi:
How do you think we can move towards being more progressive like the UK

Not possible.
Is it the likes of buhari, saraki you would expect to make you do that?
They don't even know what it means.
Nigeria is hopeless. That is the bitter truth.

anonimi:
Really?
Can he not be IMPEACHED?
Abi that one nor dey inside constitution again ni

Impeach him when his ill-educated zombies are in charge of the national assembly.
Keep dreaming. The cost in human lives alone would be very steep indeed.
This is not the UK or some progressive country in the west.
This is third world, backward Nigeria.

ignis:
Liar Mohammed should be responsible

Lai muhammed gives the direct position of the APC.
That is his job.
I hope you know buhari appointed spokesman shehu also corroborated lai muhammed.

Who cares?
There is really nothing we can do about it until four years time.
Holding buhari to anything is a waste of time. He is the dictator atleast for the next four years.

Is it by force to send your children to UNITY Schools? In fact how many UNITY schools are in Nigeria and what is the total student population in Nigeria. How many students from Yobe or even Bayelsa apply to be admitted into unity schools. If you are so obsessed with unity schools, then pressurize your state government to set up disunity schools.

There is something wrong with you just like most Nigerians.
Why not reduce the cut-offs to 0 in the name of unity schools?
And some nitwits will start boring us on how Nigeria is the phantom giant of africa.
yeye.

wirinet:
You people are too obsessed with cut off marks of Unity Schools. It is called UNITY Schools. Its purpose is not to produce excellent students, its purpose is to Unify the Federation by giving a chance to student from for every state in the country to attend. It is meant to be a platform where student from every part of this country come together and relate to each other in a conducive learning environment. It was designed to be a social integration mechanism. So Igbo people needs to stop making a mountain out of a molehill by always screaming injustice at the different cut off marks in Unity Schools. If you disagree with the policy of Unity schools, then do not apply to have your wards admitted into unity schools. After all what is the percentage of unity schools to the total secondary schools in Nigeria? I am sure it is not up to 0.001%. Unity schools does not stop state governments or even private citizens from setting up schools. Me for one do not intend sending my children to Unity schools.

Why is it only the Igbos that complain of Unity schools? Bayelsa (Ijaws) with a cut off mark of 79 is not complaining. Do you want unity schools consisting only of Igbo students? The irony is that the same people complaining of Buhari not Adhering to federal character in appointing office holders are the same people complaining when federal character is applied to unity schools. Does the fact that student are admitted into unity schools with different cut off mark mean that they would be promoted and pass out using different grades? Will WAEC and NECO use different marking schemes to mark their exams?

You don't see anything wrong with a cut-off mark of 2 and 3, when others have as high as 139 in the same country?

chowlade:
will smith's gorilla accent is totally not Nigerian. David oyelowo, and others will play that role's accent much better

David oyelowo has a yoruba accent. Distinctly different from what dr. omalu sounds like.

Chiwetel ejiofor would have been the best fit for this movie.
He is A-list and has the requisite igbo accent that the movie unsuccessfully tried to portray .
Btw, there is nothing like Nigerian accent. We don't all speak the same way.

Mtcheewww!!

Why you dey vex ?
Show me pictures of verified oil fields in lagos state .

walexy30:
Mention companies that are being disturbed by OPC and omonile in Lagos. In fact, omoniles welcome businesses in their communities because they benefit from them.

Guy, omo-oniles affects the real -estate industry in no small measure.
Real estate investors in the SW are suffering a great deal.
Btw, the biggest foreign investments in Nigeria are located in the niger-delta.
Any company that wants to invest in the niger-delta is free to do so .All these excuses are more or less smoke screens.

ladyF:
There are other things to consider from a business perspective, the company made the decision they feel is best for them in the long run.

They didn't consider the fact that niger-deltans will protest given the fact that it would be hugely dependent on the niger-delta to work.
There is no long run here if the niger-delta disagrees.

OUR OIL!!! OUR LAND!!! OUR COMMUNITY!!!

This is no evidence and is part of the noisy rhetoric.
Get me evidence based on fact.
I am sure there is no doubt that rivers and imo are oil producing as there are physical oil extracting structures on ground.

islandmoon:
we have oil on Lagos, Ondo and Ogun yewa and ikpokia LGA,



OUR LAND!! OUR LAND!! OUR LAND!!!! OUR COMMUNITY!!
settle youth

There is no oil in lagos and ogun.
We have been hearing the same story for the past ten years with no evidence.
The ijaw oil-bearing lands in the so-called ondo state is also facing the same community problems.

EMANY01:
Please consider what i said and honestly tell me that i am wrong in my assessment.

I actually endorse your post.

Rotimi47:
But companies are being milked dry in the Niger Delta as you have to pay the community certain amount mostly in millions, you have to employ people from that community who are mostly not qualified for any position, the community dictates how much you must pay them, most of the people from the community don't contribute anything to the growth of the company as they don't come to work and when they come, its usually for some few days in a month. The same people take company secret to their people who will come once in a while to seal up the company premises hereby using it to ask for more money; I am by root a Niger deltan but from the Yoruba side and a professional who work in the Niger Delta for years, so I understand what companies are going through and this is why most companies will rather stay out of the Niger Delta if they have the opportunity. If the Niger Delta can change their attitude then there would be improvement but till then; they don't have a choice as some investment would be taken outside this region.

If the SW had oil flowing everywhere in the midst of rampant poverty, you guys would do worse.

islandmoon:
OUR LAND!! OUR LAND!! OUR LAND!!!! OUR COMMUNITY!!

it is too much in your place ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haba!!

Is it your land and your community?
To build an ordinary house in the SW is very expensive due to the numerous lazy omon-oniles you have to settle.
Now imagine if the SW had significant oil, the extortion would be astronomical.
Sorry, given the decades of exploitation of the resources of the niger-delta by Nigeria, i think the niger-deltans are very longsuffering.
The SW cannot condone the level of exploitation the niger-delta has endured.

EMANY01:
I made this post on a different thread and i will say it again:

I like the protocol that the Niger delta activists have adopted beginning their agitation with an IMPASSIONED REASONABLE NON-THREATENING FACTUAL AND INTELLECTUAL manner.

The world needs to see that this is our first recourse in pursuing this matter .
The south west with its now arrogant control of most of the news outlets and multi media platforms would have loved the struggle to begin right out of the gate with violence then they would spin the story to all the world to support their long running narrative that multinational investments of any kind is only logical safe and guaranteed in the south west.

I can almost guarantee now that the next card they will play is to spin up disagreements between the different subgroups within the Niger Delta as to who gets what then spinning the story that internal struggles within various groups within the NG makes the entire location nonviable for investments.

Any South South or South East person who does not see the entrenched INSTITUTIONAL DUPLICITY of the south west by now is much more of a bigger fool than our parents were and you know i wouldn't call the old folks fools so much as i would call them extremely naive which coming right after the civil war might seem understandable.

I will spell it out in RED so there is no mistake about my meaning:
[size=15pt] THE SOUTHWEST IS DOING AND HAS BEEN DOING FOR DECADES WHAT THE NORTH HAS BEEN/AND IS DOING IN POLITICS:APPROPRIATE TO THEMSELVES EVERY OR ALMOST EVERY PLAN/OPPORTUNITY FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND INVESTMENT WHERE ITS POSSIBLE.[/size]

They (south west) have learned to use the media as a tool/weapon effectively so watch as they will seek to discredit the arguments presented by the agitators and where they cant logically defeat the case made by the agitators (a most likely scenario), they will do two things:

[1]Kill and bury any and every story of the issues raised and seek to bar it from the realm of National discourse and where that approach fails

[2]The media sections controlled by the southwest will massively turn their attention to the South South and to a lesser extent , the South East :every gunshot , every death , every confrontation between the security agencies and whoever , will be reported in great detail a pipeline will not burst without it being in the news circle for at least a week.Strategically and psychologically, the image they will try to evoke is of a region in chaos or precariously close to it.Not the place any right thinking business big or small local or international would want to invest in, regardless of the resource base or the advantages it has.

A nation of unfriendly friends.

omonile, opc and the rest of the yoruba toutish gang are niger-deltans?
I don't blame you anyway.

atlwireles:
Stay on topic

I just had to add that.

JustCalMeDBoss:
Look how the N deltans are been played.

Very soon, you will see them yapping about how igbos want to take their oil.

jomoh:
So when has it become the job of ND jobless youths to tell privately owned companies where to site their business.


Why can't they site the dock in Badagary.
Why didn't they tell Dangote to site his refinery in ND.


Talk of tribalism #hypocrisy at its peak. Jobless Senseless youths

Alright.
Tell lagos state to supply the dry dock the necessary raw materials.
Afterall, someone said feasibility studies was carried out.

ladyF:
terrible news....But the decision to site it in badagry was after detailed feasibility study and EIA, all I see is selfish youths sent by some individuals looking after their own pockets...

Some people won't be happy with this news, den wan put sand for una garri hehehe

It's [size=20pt]LadyF[/size] again

Absolute bullshitt.
How is badagry more feasible for a dry dock ?
Your country is afflicted with tribalism. Don't be an ostrich.

No shame at all.
I am sure this Nkechi will also command a very expensive dowry as ususal from the unfortunate young man that will want to marry her after inyanya is through fuccking the hell out of her without condoms.
Disgusting people.

INDUSTRIALFAN:
But that's not how Nigerians talk na.... I wonder why they always conclude all Africans speak like south Africans.....

That is where they visit the most.
You can't blame them for assuming the south african accent is a general african accent.

It seems americans are beginning to portray igbos as specialists and technicians in their movies just the same way they do for the asian folks.
Good anyway.
Kudos to the igbo diaspora.
