desgiezd: What made Al-Mustapha a political heavyweight, is it because he is a killer?

A Well-written piece

Donmarrius: The number of Igbos in Lagos and Abuja,outways that of any other state in Nigeria.
Reasons are:1.Lagos was Nigerian melting point,due to her former status,as the capital of Nigeria.The same reason they are numerically increasing in Abuja.
NOTE:it is no any fault of ours,that we outsmart others,to maximize the status of those prime states,to our benefits/gains.
2.Lagos grossly monopolized every route of int'l trade,mainly Int'l airport and Seaports,which Igbos are the arrow-heads thereof,thereby forcing large chunck of Igbos,to focus in Lagos for their trade and investments for eons.
Note: During those years under review,their is no air/seaport,in SE,and those in SS,are pratically non-functional.

Ask your mini-god eBOLA Tinubu,he will tell you what it will mean,should igbos withdraw both their populations and investments,in Lagos,which runs into tens of trillion dollars,Lagos will practically crumble financially and otherwise.
Justice demands that one good turn deserves another.
You that is chest-beating,is in one way or other,benefiting from the investments of igbos in particular,and other Nigerians in general,in that Lagos.if Lagos is left for you and your ilk to manage,it will decay like Osun,Ekiti,Oyo and Ondo.

Who told you SE isn't economically strong,or rather developed?

My dear you have said it all, needless to add more.

I taya for these Abokis

arewafederation: Are you including your "aboki" on your radar?

See you later Mrs Marilyn Orgre

You can ask your kinsman Elrufai about his ordeal
Am out

Bluetooth2: The most laughable part is that he indicted Patience Jonathan of corruption and embezzlement. I just wondered how his conscience will feel now that he dines with her and her husband.

Ribadu is the definition of disappointment.

Politics is indeed a beautiful game for the players while the spectators are thrown overboard with their mastery of act

arewafederation: I can see that.

Better keep your eyes on the membership counter instead of joining the thread opening competion.

Your nasty comments and every other are all for analysis.
So watch what you speak cos I know where NL servers are all located
Will see you later cos am writing a programming programming for a database now.

Lagos-based financial advisory and research firm, Financial Derivatives Company Limited (FDC), has forecast that Nigeria may lose about $2 billion to the outbreak of the Ebola virus in the country.

The firm in a report titled: “Making Economic Sense of the Ebola Scare,” made available to THISDAY at the weekend, listed sectors that would be impacted mostly in the country to include aviation, hospitality and tourism, trade, medical and agriculture.

Analysing these sectors’ contribution to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP), it stated that though the chance of the outbreak going into a second quarter was very slim, it could extend the loss to $3.5 billion


The Boko Haram insurgency had been the headline news in Nigeria until July 25th when it was confirmed that Ebola had been imported into the country. Since then, fear, panic, disbelief and frustration has taken its toll as economic activities, particularly in Lagos, have gradually slowed.

Moody’s had announced that the outbreak of Ebola in Nigeria could lead to serious disruptions in some sectors of the economy with negative financial consequences.

“Whilst a small part of the Nigerian economy is already benefiting from the Ebola scare such as shop owners selling sanitisers, a larger part is experiencing losses,” it stated.

The report showed that air transport, the second most used means of transportation after road., accounted forb0.09 per cent of Nigeria’s GDP in first quarter of 2014.

But the report revealed that since the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa, several airlines including Arik Air, Asky, British Airways and Emirates have suspended flight operations to and from any of the Ebola affected countries. Saudi Arabia also suspended giving out visas to Muslim pilgrims from West African countries. Serious screening for Ebola has also begun at several international airports before passengers are allowed to board an airplane.

“We expect revenues in the aviation sector to plunge downwards, which would affect both the airlines and the support industry (handling companies, oil marketers, catering, duty free shops, etc.),” the report stated.

Commenting on the impact on the hospitality and tourism sector, it stated that preliminary information showed that many hotel and airline bookings in Lagos have been cancelled by in-bound travellers due to the scare of the virus.

“This is not surprising since India and Greece have openly advised their citizens to avoid non-essential travel to Nigeria and other Ebola-affected countries. It is estimated that restaurant visits in Lagos have already declined by 50 per cent. The accommodation and food services sector was approximately one per cent of total GDP in first quarter 2014.

“This amount is not negligible considering the importance that restaurants play in the lives of many working-class Nigerians. In addition, a direct implication of the low turnout to social events is a decline in the events management business,” it added.

In first quarter of 2014, trade contributed 17.35 per cent to Nigeria’s GDP.
Trade and investment flows are critical to the external sector of the country and the West African region. The region enjoys almost a custom union with common external tariff and movement of visitors without visas.

“Since movement of people is restricted in and out of the affected regions, fewer goods will be equally transported. Air transportation is very critical to trade. Hence, a reduction in the number of international flights literally means a reduction in international trade flows. Domestic trade is also likely to be negatively affected significantly if the disease spreads,” the report added.

On agriculture, it argued that there would be a decline in sales of several animals, even when they have not been linked to Ebola.

“Farmers or hunters living in areas where there is co-mingling of animals connected to Ebola will reduce their exploits. The hunters association in Nigeria has already complained about a slowdown in business due to experts’ directive that people should abstain from consuming bush meat.
Other meat sellers may also witness a reduction in patronage if the disease spreads further. In addition, in a bid to prevent illegal movement of Ebola-linked corpses across states, there will be many stops at checkpoints” it argued.

arewafederation: Lafia kalau!

Am always here for surveillance

padeolu: If wishes were horses... Being accommodating doesn't imply stup.idity, neither does it make one a coward. But trust me, when the time is right, you flat headed folks will pack your so called china-made investments and return to your eroded landlocked savanna land to go sell okirika and panla. I wonder why y'll are quick to forget what happened between 1967 and 1970..

My friend you're a joker here.
By 2020, all the economy of the entire south west will be run by Igbos via proxy

http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/apc-ribadu-s-defection-to-pdp-won-t-affect-our-electoral-fortunes/186648/

The Adamawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday said the defection of Mallam Nuhu Ribadu to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would not affect the fortunes of the party in the state.

The state Secretary of the party, Alhaji Abdullahi Bakari, who stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Yola, said the defection would not affect the party’s chances in the October 11 governorship by-election.

Ribadu, a former Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), was also the presidential candidate of defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) for the 2011 presidential election.

“We are not happy that Ribadu has left us, but one thing that is clear now is that his movement has created more problems for PDP in the state.

“The party in Adamawa is healthy and vibrant,  what we are working on now is to have a formidable candidate for the October 11 by-election to recover our  mandate,” Bakari said.

On its part, The PDP in the state said Ribadu’s defection was a welcome development.

The state Secretary of the party, Mr. Tahir Shehu, said the doors of the party were open,  not only to Ribadu but also for anyone wishing to join it.
Meanwhile, a visit to Ribadu’s governorship campaign office in Jimeta area of Yola, showed that it is wearing a new look with PDP flags hoisted there.

Long overdue

Let's watch as see, cos analysis of the intrigues among Nigerian politicians cannot be fully analysed on social media.
The reason be that the more you look, less you see
