Okija_juju: Charge them to court for what?!

Their only offense was entering our territorial waters illegally... The fact that they had arms onboard is not grounds to charge them with dealing in black market arms.. Maybe illegal possesion of a fire arm, max..


Anyways, Uncle Russia has called for their sons... Puppy NIGERIA must OBEY!! #Levels

Why don't you go carry weapons on Russian territorial waters and see what happens. Self loathing hediot.

futoprince: ''According to NBS, national unemployment rate stood at 23.9 per cent at the beginning of 2012.
The Statistician-General of the NBS, Dr. Yemi Kale, had said 112.519 million Nigerians, representing 69 per cent, lived in relative poverty conditions''.
You don't need to be a maths genius, to see through the crappy statistics. An unemployment rate of 23 percent resulted to 69 percent poverty. This means that more than 40 percent of the employed also live in poverty. This is ridiculous to say the list.
And somebody will pocket millions if not billion of Naira for this fraudulent statistics while others are rejoicing and celebrating their poverty index on paper. Some comments made by folks here on Nairaland is a clear indication that mental poverty is more of a plague in Nigeria than physical poverty.

Nothing fraudulent in the data. Majority of Nigerians operate in the informal market which is unrecorded economic activity and difficult to track. The 23% unemployment rate is within the formal sector.

Sunny_bobo: .

Dude, I'm an empoyer of labour. I pay people salary.

HA HA HA HA HA

Obvious lies are so obvious.

Nigerian celebrities and their questionable sense of fashion

We would probably descend into civil war again with an ibo president. The egocentric attitude of ibos make them unqualified to lead a multi-ethnic nation like Nigeria.

You do realize these laws are physical right? Can you hear without ears?

I wonder how much Princess Stella Oduah collected to give Dana and its Indian owners their license back to keep killing innocent Nigerians?

afam4eva: I hate quota system and rotational presidency with a passion. The only way we can get rid of these archaic practice is to go back to regionalism where every region will be responsible for it's citizen, then they can run their regions the way they want.

Well its too late now, thanks to Ironsi and the 1966 coup plotters.

babyosisi: Is there a quota system in university admissions that is designed to favor northerners
Yes or no

People should stop arguing with this ibo supremacist. More than 70% of Nigerian university students are southerners but the bigot wants us to believe the system favor northerners. What a troll!!

confusion247: Is it the fault of southerners that northerners refused going to school? Is it proper to sacrifice someone's excellence just because you want to favor a lazy child? Please call evil evil and call injustice injustice. The setting of one Nigeria has a lot of injustice.

Stop the garbage. Whose excellence is sacrificed? All qualified southern candidates are admitted, even in the North most Federal Universities are fill with southerners. You can't complain of almajiris on one hand and whine when efforts are taken to encourage education of these same people. In many European countries with Roma/Gypsy population, the same low cut-off marks system is devised to help them get access to education otherwise they'll end up with large illiterate people in their midst.

la furia: as for the north having lower cut-off, the question is how many still end up going to school. how many northerners attend federal schools in the south from the north? i attended fed sch in the south but that was becos i lived there. we were just 2 notherners among all the southerners that got admission that year. in the six years i spent, number of northern student who attended the fed school were less than five. but u have southerners who still flood the northern fed schs because the schs in the south couldnt admit them all. my point is:

1. the southern students score far better than the northern students and will surely get more admission places, the fact here is 90 perecent of northerners donot go to schs in the south, so the issue of their presence denying other better student admission isnt there. the competition in the south is within you southerners and nothing to do with low cut off for the north unless u are applied to a sch in north wic u are most likely to get.

2. if the same cut off mark in the south is use in the north, only few northern student will go to sch, some of you already said u applied for schs in the south but got admission in the north, does that not inform you that only few northen student still went to sch despite the low cut-off mark there.
3. the education in the north is high, we cant apply the same system in the south in the north. scoring above 250 in jamb isnt an issue in the south but really tough to do so in the north..

Thank you for this comment. Too much bigotry we refuse to see clearly. Low cut-off mark is to encourage education in the North. I see nothing wrong with this.

baby_mama: http://thenationonlineng.net/new/education/merit-quota-and-unity-schools/


Are we in the same country?
How can my child have a cut off mark of 135 to get into a school and her fellow student from somewhere else requires 30 or zero?

And so you think people from other states should not go to school right?

naptu2: What happens at the moment is that, if oil is found on your land, the federal government takes that land from you and pays you a pittance as "compensation".

Yet, if I farm cocoa, cotton, etc, the land remains mine, the revenue remains mine, I simply pay tax to government.

Of course that's not fair, neither is it justice.

Why should the government forcibly take land that has belonged to my ancestors for generations? This is one of the causes of the Niger Delta struggle.

Again, we might give 90% of derivation revenue to the state governments and yet it might not impact on the life of the person who owns the land. We might only have succeeded in breeding new James Ibori, Diepreye Alamiesegha and Emmanuel Uduaghan. This is another reason for the Niger Delta crisis.

So, to the issue of bloodbath, land theft, etc. This is what good government (good laws, good policing, etc) is meant to solve. This is also one of the reasons why we have human rights agencies and groups.

But farmers plants those crops. Natural resources are different. They should be for the benefit all.

dayokanu: [size=18pt]Below are some more pictures of sustainable development in Oyo State[/size]

Why is it practically impossible for you to not be a bigot?

The thread is about project in Delta State but here you are.....fouling it up with bigotry. Shame on you.

virtuoso01: Those are DSS agents,not SSS agents.

SSS official name is Directorate of State Security Services, DSS. So yes they are the same agents.

nochio: Pls ask the governor if he meant workers in ibadan and not oyo state?

"He said that the buses would be distributed to various locations to convey the workers to the state secretariat in the morning and return them to the same locations after the close of work."

redsun: What difference does revenue generations makes in a nigeria when it is going to be stolen by a group of people that are entrusted with thess revenues?It is all about enriching the politicians/cohorts and making the game more irrationally competitive and deadly.

Keep on thinking like that my friend and you will be left in the gutter. Revenue generations are already making difference. Opportunities abound in Nigeria. In the next 5-10 year Nigeria will be the undisputed No. 1 economy in Africa. All sectors of the economy are growing with agriculture leading the way. Don't miss out.

Abagworo: I don't know what's wrong with this geez of a guy. I'm in Osogbo at the moment and I might demolish this thread with true pictures of real Osogbo but I will not do that until tempted further by a real man and not a f'aggot like geez or whatever. BTW can you post any part of Oshogbo like these pictures from Owerri?

Typical ibo nonsense. Why are you bringing Owerri into a thread made to report development project in Oshogbo? Are you all this pathetic??

As far as mineral deposits are concerned, KOGI state and next-door NASARAWA state are the most well-endowed across the entire country.

Kogi state alone has deposits of a total of 29 MINERAL RESOURCES available in commercial quantities.These include coal,dolomite,feldspar,bauxite,iron ore,tar,limestone,gold etc. Each of the 21 LGAs in the state has deposits of at least 2 minerals. One of the coal-rich areas is the Okaba district of Ankpa LGA which alone holds reserves of 99 million tonnes of coal. As things stand, Kogi state alone has enough deposits of coal to supply all of Nigeria with electricity for 400 years. Kogi state alone holds enough limestone to keep 3 giant-sized cement factories (with over 15m tons annual capacity) operational for an unbroken stretch of 99 years.

Wow!!!

Finally another non-oil sector is coming up.

The Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) has revealed that the solid minerals sector has generated the sum of N1.7bn following the effective advocacy and mass mobilization campaigns on economic diversification mounted by the commission in the last two years, adding that solid minerals producing states are scheduled to benefit from 13% derivation based on their individual contributions.

The Chairman of the Revenue Mobilisation and Fiscal Commission, Zubairu Dada disclosed this to newsmen at the end of the 67th Plenary Session of the Commission which held recently in Abuja. He expressed optimism that beside complimenting income from oil, returns from the solid minerals sector would ensure smooth flow of development in the country as every part of the country produces one solid mineral or the other.

He explained that in line with the 2nd Executive Order of July 2002, the sharing of the derivation fund to beneficiary states will be based on the 13% derivation indices using the 2010-2011 solid minerals revenue contribution by the thirty six states and the FCT. Zubairu Dada expressed fulfillment that unlike oil and gas, solid minerals are found in every state of the federation including the Federal Capital Territory; this will reduce the unnecessary rancour associated with sharing of oil revenue.

While detailing the breakdown of the states’ contributions, he noted that the total revenue from the solid minerals sector from 2010-2011 was N1,002,601,770.22 and that Kogi State contributed the highest amount to the solid minerals revenue during the period under review with a total contribution of N200,960,402.50. This according to him was followed by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) with N116,136,097.77. He said: “the commission has already forwarded the solid minerals derivation indices to the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF) for sharing of the proceeds of the 13% derivation fund in January, 2013.

“A coward dies a thousand times before his death" - William Shakespeare

You have no so called notions. No one expects the instincts of a coward to be otherwise, because the son of a coward is also always a coward.
Anyhow, i only posted here in the first place because someone said they could not find the story on Vanguardngr.com site and i had just read the story there.

MΩRON, the story posted here is fake. 21 people were not killed in Ogun as your fake biafra news alleged. The correct news which we already knew about since Friday is 1 farmer killed. The criminal fulani perpetrators had disappeared into neighbouring Benin republic. We are not like you and them to go on reprisal attacks killing innocent people. We are not you. Get it?

Chima_Adeoye: I don't expect an ostrich to behave otherwise.

Now you can try a new tactics.

See we are not like you control by your instinct and notions. We assess and analyze before deciding.

Chima_Adeoye: Oga sorry o! No need for big grammar.Some people are naturally ostriches. I hope you are satisfied hiding your head in sand like an ostrich after reading the story on vanguard and sun news,guardian,Channel news,etc yet pretending you did not see it. kpele o!
