No way! Nigerians used to dress like the wizard below. The agbada (or whatever else) is a stolen concept from the muslim world from where most get their spiritual compass. Nigerians and stealing/scamming are 5 & 6.

You are dumber than I thought..

gallivant:
Why don't you ask/quote RVP himself? These Nigerians girls are petty.

Why don't you read a book or something


You don't have to cheer to every stupid statements because of your hatred for Nigeria

The more I come across Urhobo everyday the more similarities I see with Igbo. For example:

Odo = mortar in Igbo and Urhobo.

scholes0:
The bolded ones could pass as Yoruba, let me translate.
Omo na odi, - The child is deaf and dumb
Nibo ni odo na wa - Where is the mortar

Could both of you please in God's name let us learn and discuss our language(urhobo/isoko) in peace.....

You know what I feel dear beloved brother. You don't force people to accept your culture or the way you live. If they say they are not igbo, let's accept their decisions and mind our business. I don't see what they or the Igbos would gain by claiming them, fighting over people that does not want to accept you is ridiculous.
The Igbos have tried for decades to bring back their brethren from other regions to unity, but they've all been adamant, even Akwa ibom and I guess cross-river are more closer to their Igbo neighbours than some neighbour who answer Igbo names and their culture.

I believe the people in the south-south that bear Igbo names should learn to live in unity with their neighbors. Love and unity between all of us in our country Nigeria, would foster great achievements for us in this country.

God bless y'all. Please I'm sorry If anyone had taken offence in what I posted. Thank you.

May God bless you for this reply

What comes to mind when you think about South Africa or Nigeria?

Just like anything else, our brains tend to associate certain images and attributes with a given country in order to form a unique mental perception. The report below says SA risks being the continent’s most valued brand following years of mismanagement by Jacob Zuma. Please note the figures below are not GDP numbers.


Nigeria is catching up to SA – fast – as Africa’s most valuable national brand


South Africa is Africa’s most valued nation brand, valued at $207 billion, followed by Nigeria at $203 billion, a new report found. SA’s nation brand value diminished by 7% in the past year, while Nigeria’s grew by 6% in 2018.

The Brand Finance's Nation Brands 2018 report shows South Africa risks being the continent’s most valued brand following years of mismanagement.

On the global stage the two African countries are also neck-and-neck. South Africa is the world’s 49th most valuable national brand and Nigeria 50th.

David Haigh, CEO of Brand Finance, said while South Africa remains the gateway to Africa, it’s facing an uphill battle.

“As South Africa struggles to recover from the turmoil of the Zuma years, its nation brand is also in danger of being overtaken by Nigeria, making it one to watch for years ahead."

Brand Finance Africa’s Jeremy Sampson said South Africa and Nigeria are still the main powerhouses of the African economy.

“But, compared to other fast-growing African nation brands, (it looks) like two lions that have lost their roar,” Sampson said in a statement.

Africa features six of the world’s ten fastest-growing nation brands, which includes the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Ghana, the report noted.

The United States once again topped the report with a brand value of $25.9 trillion, followed by China with $12.7 trillion, Germany at $5,14 trillion and the United Kingdom at $3,7 trillion.

Out of a list of a hundred, Mauritius was the third least valued nation brand at $20 billion, Honduras second least also with $20 billion and Libya the least valued at $18 billion.

My essay son.. Always looking for relevance

Maybe we should start a war over who are the original Bantus

The Zulus were the most warrior-like of all Bantu tribes, Africa's SPARTANS! I still dont know where they acquired that. Was it a recent thing after King Shaka rose to power?[/quote]I'm sure Fulani or any of the Hausa states and even the jukuns or kanuris would crush them easily

rvp2018:
I know you'd shift the goalpost unable to confront facts.First accept what pass as other-tax is what Nairobi and our counties are allowed to levy.

Now just like Nairobi is the king of the kenya jungle.Lagos similarly is the king of the Nigeria jungle.

Trust me all the rest of Nigeria states - non-tax revenues ( I am talking small fees from rates, parking fees, and single license permit) - are about less than what Lagos collect.

Typical Nigerian twisting,turning and generally tying himself in knots rather than face the TRUTH.

Those are for local government here...
Compare with ikeja lga,port Harcourt local government(phlga),eti osa,oredo lga, Abuja municipal area council(amac), calabar municipal and the likes

Fool u shot your self on the foot.
hahaha the so called "Non-tax (other revenue) which u put at 20% is still larger than what all your counties generated internally .
" The 47 counties collected a total of Sh24.7 billion( $ 240 M) between July 2016 and March this year compared to Sh25.9 billion realised over a similar period a year earlier, data by the Treasury shows."

https://www.nation.co.ke/business/Counties--revenue-collection-dips-by-Sh1-2bn/996-4117070-15q6eio/indexbillion

Exchange rate in 2015 was around #150-#250 per dollar which makes 2015 non tax from $300million to $500million

TMKsouth:
Should give u proper nightmares coz of your hate for SA. What did u quote again-- " South Africa known land of savages" or something. Here's a true savage at work- Ramaphosa.

rvp2018:
Here we go with MegaSlumPolis.IGR - majority is PAYE - Lagos is allowed to levy 12 taxes - Personal Income Tax,Withholding Tax (from individuals only), Capital Gains Tax (individuals only) and Stamp Duties - PAYE alone constitute nearly half of all IGR.

On average, 64.8% of IGR for Lagos statecame from PAYE between 2010 and 2016.

We are not interested in that.Nairobi PAYE would be crazy figure but they are not allowed to levy it.

Lagos States - IGR (2015 I think) - Non-tax (other revenues) -roughly 20% of IGR - 75B naira - roughly 20B Kshs - roughly 200M.

So before we even proceed we can compare Lagos 200M against 130M - for around the same period.

In 2015 that you used #150=$1. So #75billion was $500million then... Please make use of your brain

Good one for Essay

Why the waste of land?. A three storey building would have been enough

vaxx:
wait do you have a diarrhoea of the mouth or constipation of the brain?This stupid to say, You are comparing a whole city that has the pressence of Atlantic ocean passing thru it less natural to that rocky town of abuja, you are a comparing a city that can boost of unmatched botanical garden, natural park , and a lot of scenic environment to abuja. i think it is better to let someone think you are an Idiot than to open your mouth and prove it


[ are you an illiterate or something? Accra has a whole lot of international expatriate living in it than Abuja. An averaged american or british will prefer the remote part of ghana to any city in Nigeria. not just because of peaceful atmosphere, but simply because they can enjoy basic amenities like electricity, water supply, and unreliable internet supply





I think You are more stupid than i thought. Lome in togo has lots of international headquater than abuja, ""headquater of ecowas and that make it the capital of west africa"" Are you daft or something? it is a rotation and it can be taken to even cotonou per memeber agreement. Abuja was not choosing because it is the right location, Abuja was chosen because it has more member seat due to population.


This is where your stupidity is getting interesting, Accra has Three public university and about 20 to 30 private university college ,four fledged private university and three international university ( uk, usa and Germany).





This is where i said you lots needs education. go Google what tourism is all about and then come here to tell me if is anything related to what you put up here.




b Your illiteracy shouild be subjected to immediate emergency. lagos itself takes about 60 to 70 percent of the entire Nigeria economy, it is expected. in Ghana, commerce and industry is spread around and not centre on a single location.

Insulting me doesn't make you right... Now go get a life

Accra is way ahead of Abuja.

1 it is more peaceful and natural than Abuja

I don't know about peaceful but Abuja is more natural.. It has more rocks (formig a backdrop for numerous part the city) than the entire Ghana.. It has more lakes, by far more parks

2 it is more cosmopolitan than Abuja[/quote]Wow what a joke... Aboriginal population is less than 5%. Every ethnic group in Nigeria(yes a whole lot) are based there

3 it is both adminisrative amd commercial capital[/quote]It is not just the capital of Nigeria but all of West Africa (ecowas). All West African head of states most meet in Abuja for that reason at least once in 2yrs. Ghana has members @ the ecowas parliament in Abuja

4 it has more UniversIty both in numbers and per head than Abuja[/quote]Abuja has 6 universities not counting polytechnics while Accra has 3

5 it is much more tourist friendly than abuja. and the list continue.[/quote]Abuja has superior infrastructure from road to rail( first modern inter city rail in West Africa) and 2x longer than that of greater Accra region. It has more public parks than the whole of Ghana. Abuja is more busier than Accra even though Accra is more populated


Accra is both the administrative, economic and educational centre of Ghana which accommodates the head offices of most banks, trading firms and international organizations .only lagos state can compete that not abuja.[/quote]Don't even compare Lagos and Accra based economicsl criteria. The value of wealth held in Lagos is $108 billion which 3x more than the entire Ghana

officially no, but pratically yes. some of the dish washing soaps in your homes, detergents, mouth wash, toothpaste and other consumables are actually imported from Ghana despite the fact that their labels read ”produced and manufactured in Nigeria”.

Apparently, most of the factories in Nigeria work at less than 10% capacity while the other percentages are imported from Ghana and other country.

You are very stupid boy for telling lies from your anus. Products in Nigeria are 3x cheaper than it is in Ghana. Coca Cola is #100 here while it is #300 here. Sunlight detergents is #300 while it is #1,200.
It is impossible for you to sell Ghanaian products in Nigeria without incuring losses for your grandchildren


Factories in Nigeria operating @ 10%... You must be sick. Same factories that run day and night shifts. Power is an unavoidable cost here so it is an irrelevant cost

There is nothing to learn from being wasteful. it is not how far, it is how well. london metropolitan university had far less infrastructure compare to convenant yet it is well rank above any university in Nigeria. we need to stop the idea of judging book by its cover.

See the admin block of school you are comparing to covenant uni.its like you are sick
