Whether he jumped quarantine or not.
He was well aware that he had contact with a very sick Ebola patient and yet he hopped on a plane.

atlwireles: Gen. Muhammadu Buhari,[/b] who ruled Nigeria between 1983 and 1985, and his successor, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, gave Abacha the clean bill in Kano yesterday after the rememberance prayers marking 10 years of the death of Abacha, who ruled between 1993 and 1998 -

[b]Gen. Sani Abacha, did not loot the national treasury contrary to the general impression, two military former heads of state have said.

Tufiakwa!!

This is who APC is fronting as presidential flag bearer.
Disgusting.

Empiree: op, world is not fair. you too probably don't hear about Muslims being driven out of their homes in China, Philippines, Myanmar and other places we don't even know. Just pray for your Christian brothers and sisters that Allah have mercy on them. Wake up in the middle of the night and pray for them even if it's for just 5 mins. Prayer that you offer for others in your language in your privacy is the most sincere affection for them. But complaining on net is not sincere and doesn't worth it. That's just public stunt

Well I just find it very weird that Aljazeera has kept mute on a current crisis that even the pope has spoken out against and all major media houses have as headlines.
Thousands of Christians are fleeing their homes as we speak.

In fact this is what Aljazeera reported....
Sunni Muslims are making gains in Iraq

Is that not plain madness?

APC makes me sick.



Why should they be so desperate to hold unto power?

I just decided to catch the international news headlines and tuned to CNN what I saw as the first report was the story of Christians fleeing the major Christian city in Iraq due to the ISIS crisis.


I tuned to Aljazeera and for sure what I saw was the news of the loss of lives in the Gaza conflict.

This pattern of reporting adopted by the international press where a story is made "big" or swept under the carpet depending on whom it favours is becoming increasingly worrisome.

As I watched on CNN had later moved on to the Gaza story though with a focus on how HAMAS is planning to resume attack rather than the humanitarian crisis.

While Aljazeera is yet to mention anything about ISIS.

Once a tout always a tout.

We do not have the resources to do that.

It will also lead to panic and the economic blow back will be devastating.

This cannot be right how can Yoruba outnumber Igbos?

I thought Igbos commit all the crime.



Now Yoruba have nothing again to use and accuse Igbos

Talk about swallowing one's vomitus.

APC and clueless hasty decisions.
At least he was man chicken enough to admit

The fear of APC failure in the upcoming elections.

ROSSIKE: You're the one that's not thinking straight. It's not just about "buying faster trains". You need a system that can easily accommodate such trains, which are basically electric trains, and hence, a more solid electricity infrastructure will be required. That's probably a couple of years off, so be patient.

You have just said it all.

Trains that go at very fast speeds are invariably electric and we still deficient in power supply.

Many countries are beginning to show serious interest in power investment in African, including US, and Sweden(who is looking to put in up to $2B). Also Dangote and Blackstone.
That will usher in the real economic boom.

OP
If I may ask who is going cap in hand now?

okparaugo: This is not yorubaland.

Every south westerner is from Lagos state...

Moderators!













Please wait a little before cleansing this thread.

Dangote is heading towards becoming the world's richest man.

I am glad he is doing so by investing in Nigeria.

Very good move by Obiano.

This has been one of the greatest deterrents to kidnapping in the state.

Since it was started by Peter Obi.

customized07: are we expected to take tunde salami serious?

They say we shouldn't talk ill of the dead.

But what did Patrick Sawyer have in mind boarding an international flight when he was fully aware that he had been in close contact with a symptomatic infected person and was showing symptoms himself.

Was it a deliberate act?

Panic Spreads as Lab Results are Awaited

Despite the attempt by the Lagos State Government to allay concerns, panic among Nigerians continued to spread yesterday over the spectre of the disease.


This was not helped by the fact that the authorities chose to remain mute on the laboratory results of seven other persons who had been quarantined in a ward in Lagos.


OP please change your topic to feared positive.




Till they are confirmed.

WIZGUY69: hmmmmmmmm........... it's well
the synonyms for POVERTY is IBO

Why are you putting up pictures of Ibadan and Oshogbo with fake names?

AkinEgba: Getting serious.........

It's more like Nigeria being the economic giant of Africa, but average Botswanans (for example) enjoy better and worthier living standards than average Nigerians. Large population is good only when majority of the people are productive and contributing to the economy. That is not the case in Nigeria, at least for now. With a relatively smaller population and a productive one at that (as with Aba and Onitsha) poverty is sure to be low.

For once, I wish Nigeria has no oil so that out of necessity our big population will be matched with the expected productivity level. Otherwise, we should work towards serious population control to match the current productivity level.

Fact.

AkinEgba: What is ogbomosho doing in this list? Sometimes (not everytime) Oyibo people can lie. They did in this case

Some one bail me out with a mention of one robust company in Ogbomosho

They are just being courteous.

Port Harcourt, Warri, Benin City, Aba, Enugu and
Onitsha make up the six city southeast cluster. Its
proximity to oil wells has led the region to be a hub
of activity for oil companies and foreign investment .
According to the report, total GDP in this cluster
alone is[b] $63bn, which is a close rival to Lagos’s
GDP of $68bn, [[/b]b]despite having far fewer households.[/b]
Both Port Harcourt and Aba have considerably
higher consumption per capita than Lagos.




Taking a critical look at the above we can see that the SE/Niger Delta cluster has the highest per capita consumption and standard of living.

Note that the SE cluster has a population of about just 7-9million with a corresponding GDP of $63B vs Lagos with a population of 21million and a GDP of $68B.

That is why they said PH and Aba ( and from calculations the other cities) have a CONSIDERABLY higher per capita consumption than Lagos.

GPA5: According to a recent African Development Bank
(AfDB) report, Tracking Africa’s Progress in
Figures,
Ibadan is one of the top 10 fastest growing
cities in
Africa.

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT IBADAN IS A STATE WITH BROWN ROOF. IT DOESN'T HAS MANSION LIKE ENUGU, ANAMBRA.

#I CAN'T SEE ENUGU, ANAMBRA IN THE ARTICLE

I cannot help you.

I cannot cure blindness.

abagoro: That Port Harcourt has by far the highest consumption per capita in Nigeria is very indisputable, but the fact that Aba is higher than Lagos comes as a surprise to me. I believe that the under-estimated population of Aba or over-estimated population of Lagos is the reason for this miscalculation.

Aba should definitely not come as a surprise to you cause it straddles PH and Owerri which it feeds with goods.
Aba has a more uniform income spread then Lagos hence the higher per capita consumption.

It is very simple.

GPA5: Ibadan (the capital of Oyo State) is the
second largest city after Lagos, and has a fast-
growing consumer market. While Lagos has over
four times the number of households as Ibadan,
consumption per capita of Ibadan in 2013 was
$4,562, rivalling Lagos’s $4,710. Ibadan also has
a
large emerging consumer class with annual
household incomes of between $7,500 and
$20,000,
and one of the larger consuming middle classes
in
the country with incomes between $20,000 and
$70,000 a year.
According to a recent African Development Bank
(AfDB) report, Tracking Africa’s Progress in
Figures,
Ibadan is one of the top 10 fastest growing
cities in
Africa.

THIS IS A SCAM. HOW CAN STATE WITH BROWN ROOFS BE AMONG TOP FASTEST GROWING CITIES IN AFRICA?

ANAMBRA, ENUGU SHUOLD REPLACE IBADAN. THERE'S BROWN ROOFS NO SLUM IN ENUGU, ANAMBRA

You are a stark illiterate trying hard to be sarcastic.

Where are Enugu and Onitsha located?

If you even bothered to read the article, you will see that the SE cluster boasts the highest per capita spending notably PH and Aba which surpass even Lagos.

Please learn to read.

Large land mass is what Ibadan has going for it.

maestroferddi: Parochial because your sole index of urban expansion/development is the presence of oil companies. On the other hand, Enugu is built for tourism. It has a booming real estate sub-sector unlike PH that is experiencing one of the most serious real estate crises in among African cities.

Thank you so much.

He has a very very narrow minded view of what economic opportunities are.

ldpele: HAd issues with this prof on sunday 3rd aug. Just parked my car just by the school entrance without causing any obstruction and crossed over to buy food stuffs from the opposite market. Spotted people surrounding my car with a school security vehicle with it and I came out bold trying to know what was happening up and out of surprise identifying my self as the car owner, this VC came out strong on me,shout shout!! Who are u!!***yelling*** at all;everbody around the site most especially his security and my quick response was that south-east wasn't in any threat and they was not post indicating for one not to park there,to cut the story short,ended up paying three thousand

Why would you park your car in front of the university gate and expect to get a medal for it?

The bottle is the wrong way up.

And the layer of makeup on her face will not allow any living organism to penetrate.

spyder880: OK, this is a foundation I did at world bank Owerri, soil colour?

Actually, most parts of Owerri have more of sandy soil.

Some parts have red soil but it is not as clayey as that of Enugu.

Why silence the voices just like Buhari did?

I am just wondering what made the moderators hide this exposé on Buharism.

Please I just need honest answers.


Thanks.
