Kenai: You sound pained. Did you make that assertion with the aid of a "freedom guage"? Try not to let your emotions get in the way when making a debate.
Anyway, I've said what I have to say on the issue. Plateau State has woken up, and is charting its own course. Not an appendage of Arewa any longer, and certainly not going to be so any time soon.

Well said. That dude is just an apologist to Arewa Cult.

I see lots of pips spewing trash on this noble topic. No matter. I will like Op's next Topic to be: Who is the worsest Nairalander on Nairaland? That should get us rolling.

Well. Good one there. However water resistant phones are not our major need in this part of the world.
All we need is cheap data package.

Someone trying to play games on us.

barcanista: And I am telling you that average Nigerian DON'T earn N495,000 per year. That will tell you that the so called GDP is "BOGUS". The Gross National Income of Nigeria is laughable. The Gross National Product is abysmal. My Friend both our GNI and GNP that forms integral part of a country's development is nothing to write home about. It is not about "paper" GDP figures my friend.

Of course am not saying the average Nigerian earns that amount. What the statistics show is gross income inequality. So much money is still being controlled by few people. That's why the government needs to do all it can to develop the informal sector. The N200b small and medium enterprise lunched yesterday is a good start.

barcanista: Nigeria per Capita N400,000? Brother, how wicked art thou? Average Nigerian DON'T earn up to N400,000 per annum. stop lying dude.

I like objective discussion.

You still don't get it.
Nigeria's current GDP is $510b.
Nigeria’s population is estimated to be around 165 million.
When you divide the GDP by the population it will give you the per capita income.
Example: $510,000,000,000/165,000,000 = 3090 that's $3090
I was conservative with the statistics because we are still dealing with estimated population figures.

This Ebola epidemic really reminds me of the movie: Resident Evil
The disease is just out of the ordinary. I said several times that Ebola virus was biologically engineered and modified.

I don't believe in dating.

barcanista: I don't respond to NOI "paper appraisal". What is the Income Per Capita of Nigeria?

The Per Captita Income should be around $2500 to $2800.

barcanista: This report has confirmed my earlier position that Jonathan is operating a Government of Fraud. When President Obasanjo came to Power, Nigeria's External debt was $35bn. President Obasanjo successfully cleared the debt and left a Reserve of about $45bn. In contrast Jonathan has depleted the Reserve and has punged us into a huge debt.

Jonathan must be kicked out of power in 2015

What matters most is the debt/GDP ratio which happens to be around 12 percent. That is not a bad situation considering current economic conditions. Besides there's no country in the world that do not have one form of debt. Infact some of the biggest economies around the world have huge debt ratios compared to Nigeria. What the country needs to do is to spend wisely by developing productive sectors of the economy like Agriculture, Manufacturing, Tourism etc.
We must not forget the fact that some states contributed to Nigeria's debt profile by engaging in indiscriminate borrowing in the name of infrastructural development. Most times the funds borrowed where not put to good use, thus ending as a bad debt because the funds mend for the improvement of the economy of these states where completely mismanaged.

Rising debt is one of the characteristics of an emerging economy. It's left for the government to control it's spending and focus on developing the most productive sectors of the economy especially informal sector. Am happy the President flack off the N200b small and medium enterprise loan sheme yesterday. That is a milestone considering the impact of small and medium enterprise on the economy.

Good for them.

That awkward moment when Some African countries be like:

Obviously the fight against terrorism would have been won had it not been for some Saboteurs within the military. There's nothing more dangerous than having insiders within, working hand in hand with Boko Haram terrorist to frustrate efforts of our soldiers. An enemy within is more deadlier than an enemy outside. The military hierarchy should do what ever it takes to root them out as soon as possible to face the FULL wrath of the law.
More grease to the Nigerian Army.

Hamas brought this war on themselves. Why take on an opponent that is obviously greater and more powerful than you? Just look at the infrastructural damage and the massive lost of lives they suffered. The annoying part of it is that they use innocent civilians as human shield. This is cowardice to the highest order!
Israel and Hamas need to bury their bitterness and come together to find a common solution to their never ending conflict. A two state solution is the only way to resolve this conflict. Israel got to show some restraint with their use of force. The collateral damage on civilians is unacceptable.

This is obviously the failure of the Nigerian Embassy in Russia. One of the major problems facing our foreign missions abroad is the inaction of some of our embassies. Though most of them are on a tight budget schedule. They need to be funded adequately to carry out their duties.

This is the kind of news our rivals hate to hear. Too bad for Rwanda. Though I heard they were suspended.

His belief in free and fair election. A very true Democrat. Unlike....

Indeed Africa has the potential to be the next world economic power. Nigeria will surely lead the way.

dragan: The OP is obviously a delusional halfwit posting a made up story then even goes ahead to keep spamming random comments to keep the stupid thread active

But who gives ashit anyway, only the most idiotic of the PDP apologists would even bother to believe this nonsense.

Yes we agree it was a made up story. But you and I know that Nuhu Ribadu might be thinking of something like this in his heart.

It would have been better if Rotimi Amaechi was a movie star in Nolly Wood. His rascal behavior would have been excused.
He's always in the news for the wrong reasons.

APC is on a long walk to sinking!
By time we finish them come 2015, the emperor of South West and APC Tinubu will have no choice but to dump the party and form his own.

This Ebola hype has caused serious havoc on minds of people

May her soul rest in peace.

It's a noble idea. But will be counter productive given the current structure of Nigeria. Except we decide to practice True Federalism which is what we should have been practicing all these years, creation of new states now may lead to more financial problems.

States creation will naturally evolve when we practice True Federalism in Nigeria. Any state created now base on the current structure of Nigeria will be counter productive.

Too bad. Just when we thought the dreams of Martin Luther King had been fulfilled, this crap is happening.
The police officer responsible must be arrested immediately. Guns and Knifes are miles apart. Not enough reason to kill anyone just like that.
This is the kind of case where you won't find Amnesty International especially if it got something to do with one of the developed countries. They did rather bury their heads in the sand and pretend they didn't know anything about it. But if it were Nigeria, hell will be let loose.

I will choose Nigeria. No place like home.

No.5 is full of Crap.

May her soul rest in peace.
