Now Nigerian airlines can invest more in making safety the ultimate goal (no more Mutallab). This is good. Now is the time for Nigerian airways to be back with modern equipments!!

You mean Nigerian Airways went out of business because of USA route?

Now its time to buy loads of planes from american manufacturers, appoint many american consultants, buy more security equipment by american sellers, i heard many other serious countries still dont have cat1 for the US

Anyway hope the fare goes don cos in Nigeria, the much touted 'market forces' is a big scam!!

@Poster

I have operated video game businesses a number of times in Lagos.From back in the sega mega drive/SNES days to PS2 and Xbox one. I don't know about the kind of crowd you pull over there in SA but down here in Nigeria, the kind of mature customers in that picture would have their own games at home and wouldn't pay to play anywhere.Also,Xbox pads aren't good for hard core commercial gaming.Most of the people who come around will abuse the pads because of the tiny pittance they paid to play (winnnch pipo ). . .i am talking from experience and at one point, i was replacing pads at least one every week. If you intend to open a branch in Nigeria, then you need to focus on areas where rich kids reside e.g the types who have PS3 at home but are willing to go out to play for the fun of it. Ikoyi and Lekki readily come to mind. . .Abuja is also a good spot.

Best of luck.

NB : DO NOT CLOSE SHOP IN SA FOR ANY REASON! ! ! NIGERIA AIN'T ALL THAT.

End of!

Just wondering on this one, replacing pads that are readily available, or moving to an area where the phat kids already have games at home, what if they dont come out? its a case of getting loads of customers through the doors in areas like mentioned earlier replacing pads regularly or getting some customers in sometimes and keeping your games in tip top shape? hmmm

I want one, where are they from? Us/Uk

How much

We need some business/entrepreneurship topic on the homepage!! its been a while

Dress!! for me i want to sit = move up a bit!

please slow the volume i'm feeling sleepy

By Olasunkanmi Akoni
LAGOS—Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State yesterday signed into law the bill for a law establishing the state mortgage board aimed at making houses affordable to the masses.
Fashola, who also inaugurated members of the board at a brief ceremony at Lagos House, Ikeja, disclosed that plans were underway to ensure that efficient lowcost houses were made available for Lagos residents on a proposed mortgage policy, which would be[b] unveiled next week[/b].
The board is chaired by the state Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Rotimi Oyekan, with his colleague in the Ministry of Housing, Mr. Dele Onabokun, and three others as members.
According to Fashola, the passage of the law is a momentous achievement for the state because it will serve as the regulatory framework for the creation of enabling policy that will guide government and private sector in establishing mortgage schemes that will be beneficial to all residents.
Fashola, noted that with the new law, the Conveyance Act of 1881 had been repealed.
The governor added that the 119-year old law had always posed challenges to legal practitioners dealing with mortgage matters.
Fashola, who said details about the bank would be unveiled at a public forum in the next few days, noted that workers and residents of the state would be able to access facilities to build a home of their own.

This should be interesting

bumpity

this law never arrive?

Fashola, while inaugurating an 18-member committee in Ikeja, who are to look into the “agitations” of the host communities, warned residents against using protests to demand for change.

yes they should have used Facebook _{like Rosa parks} but alas there's no electricity for the villagers in that part of Eti-Osa

Taraba (its a state in nigeria just in case) to build another one, after abandoning the one by the previous governor


Taraba State government said it has set aside N10 billion to construct an airport in Jalingo, the state capital.The airport will be built with a standard of 3.3 kilometre runway, Governor Danbaba Suntai said at the Nigerian College of Aviation technology (NCAT), Zaria.

Former Taraba state administration started an airport at the cost of N2.68 billion but the contractor handling the work stopped. Suntai said the government had surveyed a new piece of land for the airport project.

He said: "But having bought all the equipment and everything, I came to the conclusion that the assignment of an airport was beyond his capacity. So I called him and requested him to handover the airport and paid him off.

"I brought in PW to complete the airport. When they went and assessed the airport, they came up with a cost of almost N10 billion. So when they came up with this cost and I discovered that I could only just add a little to build a new airport; they told me they could not give me guarantee, even though they will do it."

He said the issue of guarantee worried him. "So, presently we have surveyed a new piece of land for a new airport", he said.

Commenting on the state's capacity to run an airport, governor Suntai said the federal government had shown interest in the project.

there are some states in nigeria i consider 'useless' unnecessary they need to be converted into huge farms so we can make money exporting the products and feeding Africa the people can be moved to other states!


this governor that has a personal hobby to become a pilot has just signed state money to a new airport, you will notice he didnt even talk about traffic, customers or anything with regards to the viability, To be honest i think its about time Finance ministry, Aviation ministry and others start scrutinising what some state government are budgeting for, putting us in more debt with their useless fantasy!!

Happy Birthday Bro Jarus!!

keep my orange ice cold o i dey come!

mrkoma2012:
Good initiative,issue is will this end with his tenure, i have been to ilorin and its in better condition than some of d niger delta states.Truth must be told nigeria doesnt lack policy makers but folks who will excute them on point, so lets see if this wont be another Obj farms in disguise.

its a good thing this government tenure is coming to an end, i was also getting worried that he might be able to convert it to his name considering the amount of effort/energy he used to drag most of this reluctant banks who cant stand long term projects that has to do with seasons. So considering the huge amount of funds from the banks and the current cbn process of shouting thief from the roftop i doubt this guy will want anymore trouble (SGBN) and this and similar projects seems to be getting positive brownie point for him so except he is extremely greedy or he catch the bankers/cbn slipping then he will just allow those guys do the work- this is their life, he has been able to bring many outsiders- he will probably be playing on the national scene after his stint

[quote author=bisola_oni link=topic=501613.msg6627627#msg6627627 date=1282603433]I don't think your question is inappropriate. If I read it correctly, then we will be seeing UHT milk products from WAMCO in the near future. You ask if Nigerians will appreciate UHT milk as opposed to dried milk. Many Nigerians have only known condensed or powdered milk, all their life. It may be that there are Nigerians who will prefer the flavor, appearance and taste of UHT milk. I think the introduction of UHT will give Nigerians a wider variety of products to choose from. It will also be a stern test of the true quality of the products in the market. Are they really that good, or are they being patronised because we have no better choices.

I think because our palate is already used to it, most Nigerians do not even realize that condensed milk has a caramelized (canned) taste that some people find disagreeable.[/quote]I hate those canned milk!! i cant stand them any more they taste like condensed chemicals!!

i work for a top insurance company - yea right, say the name lol!

its also up to the government to enforce a rule ,people abroad are not saint there's just a big stick(fine/eviction) waiting for offenders, but in nigeria there's no fine/no real attempt to enforce rules that's why some things are the way they are

hobat4cash:
You guys should cut d man some slack abeg, maybe Pete should have been more carefull by d way he reacted by choosing his words carefully so as not to be seen as being jealous or tribalistic. That said, i think Pete has d moral right to defend d igbo culture since he is a red cap chief in igboland.

Chimanet:
Olu is not an IGBOman but his a professional,Pete never meant to create a beef wit Olu, he was just trying to put straight things that are not done in IGBOland .Becouse if Olu was a full grown IGBOman he should have adviced those young producers on things that are supossed to be done and things that are atrocities in the IGBO culture,he is just trying to protect his culture!

yes IFFFFF Olu was an Igbo man. . . but he is not the directors are most likely igbo why are they misrepresenting their own culture??

Infact who has damaged the IGBI Culture more? the one not pronouncing the words as authentic as it should sound or the ONE and only porky with an unkept beard who over the decade has played a RITUALISTIC MONEY HUNGRY POT-BELLY WHO WONT HESITATE TO KILL IS MOTHER/WIFE FOR CASH??

when did Dbanj fail? heck you are really smoking igbo aint you? instead of admitting Pete Edochie made a school boy error you are yapping dust
You think he made his money because he got a title and he sang about it?
if anything is show how cheap title can be bought in that village weslep snipe spent a total of 48minutes there he got a title, how sad you think the title is for his achievement? you think he will lose money if he didnt get the necklace?

naijacutee:
This is a welcome development, as the expectation is that anything reducing our dependence on imported food in Nigeria will ultimately lead to cheaper food on the average Nigerians table (And more money in the pocket). This is an area I'm very interested in, and which I have spent a lot of time thinking about. Obviously things are improving all over the country, and Governor Saraki is obviously positioning Kwara State to be the potential food basket of the nation. I respect his foresight. However, I have one small observation with regards to the feasibility of the dairy production business structure. If the plant is producing UHT milk, how valuable would this be to the average Nigerian (compared with dried milk), seeing that electricity in our country is erractic at its best? Will the average Nigerian be appreciate UHT (as it is not fresh) milk over dried milk? What are your views? In this thread (https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-209096.0.html) most people voted Peak milk as their choice over Cowbell. Where do people think UHT liquid milk (of whatever brand) will stand in this picture?

Fresh milk is mainly targeted as Industry- food processing companies, hotels and ice-cream/yoghurt making companies and fresh milk is used for WARA

Kinezeala:
Sorry for flooding,dis guy you are so senseless,what's wrong with a yoruba elder admonishing an igbo child?these movie makers according to pete are children and most of them are unitelligent ok?
Mumu, Money ritual is a social vice that can be perpetuated any where in nigeria. . And the duty of actors and movie makers is to expose these cankerworms in their movies,if you are too dump to know that.
Fool,ask anybody the legend don retire.olodo

ode why wont he retire, you think they can use him in a romantic new age nollywood movie or he is versatile enough to play anything other than a walking stikc carrying ritualistic baron?

Nothing is wrong with an elder admonishing a child but something is wrong with admonishing an actor that has been giving a script to act out by probably an IGBO director/producer/writer,researcher duhhh

if you want to make comment about other 'elder' actors you better come correct or look as foolish as this caveman, this is school boy error or perhaps he is just drunk on women piss

money ritual is a social vice but why is it that 98% of Pete Edochie's role involve killing women for money, someone that is so concerned about his culture yet grew fat on portraying his culture as money obsessed, status drunk,gun touting thugs for international audiences

why should i castigate you its a bloody film, secondly people are smart enough to know its the producer/directors fault not yours!

Kinezeala:
Some people can be very silly o.how can you blame pete edochie for saying that?come to think of it,how would olu feed without the igbos?the point pete was tryna make is clear - should he fold his arms and watch the igbo culture masterminded?[size=16pt]should he just keep quiet and allow what's is not obtainable in igboland to be[/size] portrayed in the movies?does olu fail to advice other 'unintelligent' directors when he thinks they are stepping out of line? p[b]ete edochie has contributed a whole lot to the [/b]advancement of the nigerian movie industry,as a good and prolific actor,you aught to be able to correct 'unintelligent' directors and producers whenever you think they are going wrong.pete  retired from acting,that's why you don't see him on movies anymore. .and to all of you yoruba blind bats,beware!pete has had more roles than any so called actor in nollywood even though he is retired,he started acting even way before all of you back biters were sorrowfully born.beware of the legend!

what a donut!!! so OLU a Yoruba should advice an IGBO director/producer that he is stepping out of line?? what igbo do you smoke?

whats not obtainable in igboland?? are you serious you are basicall saying igbo people drink bloood?Yes pete edochie has imprinted in many Nigerians that's there's something behind most successful men from his place! and the word on the street or on the mouth of many housewives educated or not in nigeria --- dead mother = money overnight= dodgy cupboard in the back room


Pete Edochie has not retired from acting, producers are just tired of his one way ritualistic roles with his unkept beard= perhaps there something ritualist about that bloody facial hair he has carried for decades now!! the world has moved on heck Nollywood sef don move on from ritualistis men if you notive all these blood money actors have been relegated- i mean ask someone on the street whats the first thing that comes to your mind when you mention pete edochie rich man,bloo money dead mother/ dead wife/dead babies dead everything for money

shyte absolutely shyte!!

Harzan:
U AR SICK!
Dont U kno your way to d musik threads! Were!!!




@Dis guy, i know U no base for ilorin, so  !
For all what he did with d Shonga Scam, do U know d price of food stuff in kwara,
pls stop typing wat u know nothin abt! Is dat clear

you are not making sense- is that clear? that's typical primary school phrase
If im not based in kwara i can still make my observation based on others and general trend from previous years
If you want to start a debate please do state your opinion about ongoings in context with other state and nigeria generally
if you put your points across like normal being I'll take you point but if you are just going to tell me i don't live there so i don't know then piss off!

I dont have to live in Moscow to know its cold there

xtri:
what is the benefits of all these to average citizens

Employments, Very cheap food prices and a quiet industrialization of the state with the oncoming of food processing plants
generally results of agricultural projects are very long term, one of the main reason governors/businessmen in nigeria dont go into it
they want money now now!!!

Hamid O:
After makin us 1 of the poorest states in the country. na wa o

How did he make kwara one of the poorest? what was the position of kwara before?
Was kwara rich before? I dont know why people are getting carried away by that list
if anything the list should be compared with developments in the states 2010what was it like before and what is it like now?

most of the state up the list have huge population and natural resources = oil

what a joke!!


This is the SAME MAN THAT PLAYED THE ROLE OF A MONEY MAKING RITUALIST THROUGHOUT THE 90S IN FACT HE PLAYED A RITUALIST FOR 2 GOOD DECADES!!!
BIG THUMBS UP FOR your interpretation of IGBO CULTURE AND TRADITION!! he didn't see anything wrong with playing bloody ritualist 80% of his roles, he didnt attack the producers that were giving him blood to drink and human parts to munch on and those silly looking long shoes and red suits heck who listens to an occultist
i'm very certain many peoples knowledge of culture in Nigeria is partly through films and music and this guy has played a huge part in stamping 'the money by any means necessary aspect of it into our national psyche!!


good points bad delivery

“I lost my husband a few years ago and I have three children,” said Chidinma Michael. “My mother was sick and I spent all I had.” She said she approached a friend for help. Instead of giving her a loan, her friend showed her how to make ‘free money.’ “So that was how I started coming out to the street,” said Ms. Michael. “My children are now at home and have not eaten since yesterday when they arrested me.” She was eventually given automatic employment at the social development secretariat to assist in rehabilitating other sex workers.

Cough cough: my naija brain will flag up something with this bits!  now they are here; who goes first?

Mrs Ayileka accused the women of laziness. She cited a medical doctor who was arrested some time ago whose colleagues had to beg for her release because she was supposed be on call the next day.

“Some of them are graduates. A lot of them are working-class ladies,” she said. “There are lots they can do with little money instead of degrading themselves.” She said the FCT administration would rehabilitate those who are willing to change. At the skills centre in Lugbe, a suburb of the city, girls could choose from 10 different skills, including hairdressing, tailoring and computer studies. Upon completion of the course Mrs Ayileka said the girls would get equipment relevant to their fields of training.

However, though many of the girls filled out the application forms, the training is has not commenced.

Some people SABI LIEEEEE WHICH KIND LIE BE THIS NA BY FORCE TO MAKE SOMETHING UP no be nurse no be hospital cleaner she lie on top MEDICAL DOCTOR just to make her job look interesting silly woman upon that she hasnt commenced training in their silly 'skills centre' that's under a tree!!

With the Huge amount of land in Ilorin/kwara it wil be very amusing if thats the only standard stadium they have but then again its a good thing as they wont have to waste money AND since last season there was a1.XBillion naira refurbishment going on with the Ilorin township stadium, hope they deliver it this time; i will hopefully be checking this stadium out in october- maybe i can get someone to give/sell me a jersey 

Kwara utd/Bukola babes shouldn't have a problem with feeder team seeing as they have Kwara Football academy nearby

bump!!!
