World1, I take inspiration from reading your exploits. Well done.

I would be interested in buying the type of greenhouse in the 4th picture, for growing seedlings.

Is it available to buy from you?

Pls be assured that this is a serious enquiry. Thank you.

This short episode is an eye opener for me.

It just confirms what some have been saying all along...that this government is amateurish and totally disfunctional.


How can Osinbajo hold government if he doesn't command the respect of those under him. At no time did he try to own the meeting. All he needed to do was say, 'Mrs Oyo-Ita... it would help if I could hear one person at a time.' The woman would have then behaved herself.

The VP never did that. Instead he was trying to address the subject matter in dispute and thus unwittingly joined in the chaos.

Pavore9:
Such deepens democracy.

It's important that those who work together can have open and frank discussion on matters of importance, but being unrully when presenting your points of view is uncivilised, unprofessional and rude, not least when the person lending his ears to you is the Vice President.


Look at the way the woman even walked away How does this deepen democracy.


I guess it's the Nigerian way to believe you have to make the loudest noise and dramatise to be heard.

When it comes down to it, most Nigerians, however high the offices they occupy are usually unrully, impetuous and aggressive at the slightest opportunity.

The woman (especially) and the Kwari guy can't take turns to speak to the Vice President, even with others watching

And these are the people running a government for 180 million people.

I am surprised that this is the way differences are ironed out in the highest offices in the land. I expected better.

I convinced myself all this while to be patient with this government.


I must admit now that this presidency is probably beyond reprieve.


What the fk,,,g hell

You keep going on about Tinubu.


He's far & away the most powerful & influential politician in the SW. However, if he makes the mistake of aligning with Atiku, many people will wonder if he's worth listening to ever again.


Tinubu should let Atiku get on with his own matter.

'South West will follow Tinubu again.'

Not necessarily, particularly if his last offering, Mr Buhari, has lost the support of the SW masses by 2019.


SW voters, are very nuanced when it comes to presidential elections. They might collect 5k and vote for you in Governorship election, but when it comes to presidential election, they seem to pay more attention to their perceived quality of the candidates.


Most people here will simply not vote Atiku. Tinubu will know that.

The 'Corruption' tag is, rightly or wrongly, so firmly ingrained in SW people's minds when the name Atiku is mentioned, it's unfortunate for the man.

QueenOfNepal:
The SW will be brought in if Atiku reaches an agreement with Tinubu which will means the whole SW marching in unison for Atiku.

I don't see the 'whole SW' marching in unison for Atiku. Even Awolowo had tangible opposition votes against him.

Atiku will probably struggle to gain momentum in the SW. His public standing seem rather low here.

I could be wrong.

Fake news.

Tinubu wouldn't use some of the words in the so-called statement.

News of Mr Adam's choice as Aare Onakankanfo has been met with such deafning silence, they are rushing around faking congratulatory statements.

To those shouting they warned Yoruba not to vote Buhari;

1. I thought every Nigerian had a right to vote whoever they liked?

2. It is ridiculous that you feel entitled that others should've yielded to your so-called warning not to vote a candidate

3. Every vote is a risk....there's never a guaranty that a candidate would turn out as you expect

4. Mr Jonathan was such a weak leader, leading the country to certain financial doom that I do not blame those who opted to give Buhari a try.

5. Whoever emerges as leader in 2019 will have done so because the majority decide to gamble on him. There will be no guaranty he too will perform to satisfaction.


People should grow up and stop screaming they warned Buhari's supporters.

If Lagos already receives 50% of the VAT amount, I think that's reasonable.

True Federalism should not mean you selfishly hold on to 100% of the revenue generated in your state when there are other States that need help.

Also if Niger Delta had been keeping 100% of oil revenues all these years, where would Lagos & the rest of us be today?

Ambode should reflect on that.

Lagos has done very well from Nigeria. Demanding for more & more looks selfish.

These modest people who have made such tangible impact on the lives of so many should get National Awards, instead of the rich political crooks that are the usual recipients.

Most of the guys interviewed in Imoga have Yoruba names. And in the other videpo, Fuji music was playing in the background at the market in Ibillo

Half of Ibillo have Yoruba surnames, though many of the younger ones cant speak or understand yoruba. The older ones are better.

Went to Ibillo for a friend's event last year.


The way Nigerian State boundaries were established, I think a lot of people end up in the wrong states.

But the suggestion that Ibillo, Igarra, and Auchi (main towns) should have their own State is ridiculous. Sorry to say it, but these places are quite rural and rely on subsistence farming. How will they survive as a State.

Thank you.

Pls can you provide a short answer to the following:

1. Does the selling company have a smaller size - around 120sqm?

2. Does it sell just the greenhouse i.e., without drips and other kits?

3. Are there used ones out there for sale? - may be someone bought and now wants to sell.

Pavore9:
Send me a PM but anything financial will be from the 15th of October.

Will do, thanks.

The biggest challenge is finding reliable farm workers.

Wherever possible, the key is to use technology & keep the number of labourers you need as low as possible.

I'm going to the extreme of not farming any crop that has no compatible selective herbicide.

Managing Nigerian workers no be small thing.

Great.

Would you be kind enough to help facilitate the process through the gentleman? I'd be happy to send the money in advance.

Can I reach you by email. Thanks

Pavore, I assume you're no longer in Kenya.

My desired cabbage seeds are mostly in Kenya, yet it seems rather difficult to buy seeds from the country.

African countries put all manner of barriers up against intra African trade.

I can easily order seeds from China, the US etc but from Kenya, South Africa or Burkina Faso, it's so difficult.

The seed I want is Fabiola cabbage. Do you have any leads please?

Something is not right, i dont want to believe that lady can overpower the guy

Irrespective of the size of your attacker, and however strong you feel you are, a single hit to a wrong part of your head or neck, could see you faint or even die.


A hit in the head with common household items, like a fry pan, an iron etc can easily kill.

It's only in Nigeria that reference to 'leadership' of a ruling party is taken to automatically include the President or Executive leader of the government of the day. It seems to me that Mr Sagay's attack was aimed at My Oyegun and the Executives of APC, not Mr Buhari. APC appear to want to drag Buhari into it so as to justify their own attack on Mr Sagay.

In the USA, if you attack the leadership of the Republican Party, no one would assume you meant the President of the country.

In the UK, an attack on the leadership of the Conservative Party would be read to mean the Chairman of the party & its Executives, not Theresa May, the Prime Minister.

Oyegun is the leader of APC, the party, while Buhari is the leader of the government.

Please where can one purchase seeds of Senna Alata and Jathropa in Ibadan/Lagos.

The truth is, a lot of men will not last long if they haven't had sex in 3 months.

So, the husband's lack of interest in sex, rather that the premature ejaculation, appears to be the main issue.


Also:

1. People should stop asking those suffering from premature ejaculation to see a Doctor. There's no evidence that a Doctor can fix this problem, as there's no medication for it. I suspect Doctors suffer proportionally as much from premature ejaculation as the rest of the adult male population. Information about approaches that appear to have worked for some sufferers are readily available on the internet.

2. Why would a spouse seriously consider discussing such an intensely private matter with a family member? You'll end up humiliating your husband [b]and yourself[/b: to what end? Some things must remain private between husband and wife. Whoever you inform is unlikely to be able to find a solution, so what's the point? Also, humiliating a man that's already in a pitiable situation will only make the problem worse.

3. People should not assume that a husband always desires sex with his wife or vice versa. At times, the desire may not be there, for whatever reason. That's why maturity and keeping the lines of communication between the couple on the topic becomes essential, so they can get to the bottom of the matter.

This is a complex matter. The guy may not even know why he has gone off sex with his wife or just gone off sex full stop.

Part of the problem is that, society expects and indeed demand that husband and wife must frequently and absolutely want to tear the clothes off each other for regular steamy sex. For many, I suspect this is simply not the reality.

How naive and deluded

It's even possible the woman was not cheating.

Killing anyone because of anything is bad. Killing them because of the content of a text message which can be misleading, is worse.

So, what does he tell their children. That it was a mistake? How sad.


If I catch a wife cheating, honestly, she would be shocked by how relaxed I would be. If she cooks for me that moment self, I go chop, then take a nap.

When I wake up, na to just sit her down calmly and ask her when she plans to leave. If there are children, I will just look for a temporary hotel accommodation until I find a permanent accommodation. She can stay in the house. And I wont tell anybody what's happened, not even my family members.


This whole thing no need fight at all.

First time I've heard the guy speak.

Shocked to actually hear him use the word zoo. I always assumed the word was made up & used only by his young followers, in which case it was probably excusable.

But, to actually hear him, a leader of his people, say 'zoo police' is shocking.

Could he not pass his message across without crass abuse.

He seems determined to provoke the government into doing anything to create a major crises.

Sagay212:
no oyibo, no road....lol....so where are all our 1st and 2nd class engineering graduates? where are the professors? it is not by speakin big grammar oooo. ordinary drainage we nor fit construct

Actually one of the proven Nigerian Engineering contractors is in the picture, but you would't know

He’s one of those dressed like a 'labourer'. The Oyinbos are prob one of his subcontractors on the project.

Dey there they yarn on Nairaland

There are many ways to calculate 'largest', 'biggest' bank.

Largest by branch network (First Bank)
Largest by net assets (Zenith?)
Largest by stock market valuation (GTB)


When financial experts (CNN Money, Bloomberg etc) talk of the 'biggest' bank in Nigeria, they say GTB. That's because it is the most valuable bank in the country.

Despite having much fewer branches than First Bank, Zenith, UBA and probably Access, GTB makes more profit than any bank in Nigeria.

Very impressive.

Punch should throw its weight behind the call
for deep restructuring and true federalism instead of isolating Lagos for special treatment.

True revenue federalism will address most of the issues raised in the editorial.

Visiting Lagos shouldn't be a problem if all sides take a reasonable approach.

State officials should agree with his team ahead of his visit which public space he can use so that disruption to traffic and businesses can be localised.

A stadium would be a good environment to accommodate him & his fans. This would also help in terms of managing the safety & security of attendees and local residents.

Lagos State is going to be key to the success of Western Nigeria's future economy.

This will require Lagos to make some initial financial sacrifice to help the other 5 States to get back on their feet economically. Lagos stands to gain too .

The truth (whatever people say on Nairaland) is that, long term, Lagos stands to suffer considerably if Nigeria breaks up. One way of preparing Lagos for the consequences of Nigeria's uncertain future as a country, is to start working for a robust Western Nigeria...now.

By sacrificing now, and helping the States around it (with about 40 million people) to build robust economies, the impact on Lagos of a broken Nigeria will be less pronounced and this will help Lagos maintain its status as a leading business destination in West Africa.

Lagos can start now by replicating its rice partnership with Kebbi State, with Ekiti and Ogun State. This is relatively low risk.

There are a few other ideas that Lagos could pursue which would not necessarily involve overwhelming financial commitment.
