Ibadan shaa

Afam4eva:
As much as i believe PDP has become nosey and constantly jerking off on APC internal issues, i believe there's a fundamental problem with some tatcics that APC has been employing for some time now and that might hit them hard. I'm not an APC fan but i just want them to get certain things right and one very imperative variable that they have failed to find answers to is getting a popular running mate. No, Doubt, Buhari is popular in the North. He may even be the most popular man right now in the north, so we expect him to sweep the polls in the North east and North west and possibly get some sprinkle of votes in the North Central and that's exactly what he did the last time and still lost because not matter how popular you are in the north, if you can't win states in the south then you can't be Nigeria's president. What APC had to do was to get an equally popular southerner to run with Buhari and not an Osibanjo who has little or no political pedigree. If was the same mistake they made when they presented Ribadu with a Fola Adeola. Like seriously, are this people sick in the head or just playing games with an ambition i feel they're desperate about. Whatever happened to Oshiomole, Rochas or an Amaechi? Don't get me wrong, Osibanjo is probably more competent than these folks but if it was just about competence then fashola should have gotten the ticket above Buhari. So, right now it's about winning an election and they have to take advantage of everything available to them withing the law to do so.

I don't know how this election will turn out. I definitely believe that Buhari will do way better than he has done in the past but whether it will be enough for him to win is a question that i can't answer.

Exactly, i mean why not even field Fashola ahead of Osibanjo or is he too big for VPship?

On the election outcome my fear is the outcome of Buhari's loss because it is obvious he will lose.
Only that with the level of delusion his supporters are displaying they may take it up another notch to violence as they did in the past.

Rexyl:
Someone raised the followings where sharia is fully practiced. I wonder how such practices could honour fundamental human rights

Highlights of Sharia Laws. The question is are u ready to sacrifice your freedom and religion.

Christians can’t build new churches or renovate old ones,no ringing of church bells but Muslims can do what they want.

You can’t marry a Muslim girl as a Christian else you must convert to Islam. But Muslim men can marry Christian girls without converting.

If a Muslim kills another Muslims by mistake, he pays a certain amount of money as fine. But when he kills a Christian by mistake, he pays half the stipulated amount of money and the only reason is that Christians are infidel and not equal to Muslims

You can’t openly show your Bible in public, you can’t preach, u can’t share church fliers or say anything about church on any form of media.but Muslims can preach on TV and any media of choice.

Weekends are Friday and Saturday. Sunday is the beginning of a working week. Christmas and Easter celebrations are forbidden and no official break. You are forced to fast along Muslims

When you take a case to court, a judge will not hear your case until you say (you believe in oneness of Allah and prophet Muhammad is his messenger) even when they know your a Christian.

Any form of derogatory words against Allah, Muhammad, or Koran is punishable by death penalty.

You can’t hold any official post as a Christian were Muslims will be under you. It’s a taboo and it’s forbidden. But rather you must work under Muslims.

The list is numerous and that’s Sharia. In those countries, they have been able to subjugate all non Muslims and that’s why there is relative peace. If you are OK with such inhuman treatment, I am not.

Reading this sends chills down my spine.

Is this the kind of Nigeria we want to build under Buhari, with the proliferation of Sharia law in a secular country thereby subjugation all non Muslims in the states where it is practiced?

We must look before we leap.

Schematics:
The roads are in top notch condition but the traffic in Ekwuluobia will not allow you to see the long stretch to snap. I don't know whether the whole Igbo nation relocated to Anambra............

Did you pass through Igboukwu?

The traffic there is getting unbearable.

There is bad stretch of road around the market that should have been fixed before this holiday season.

Work seems to have started but is slow.

I am not surprised to see such criticisms from a party that objectifies women.

They are rather happy to see them put away in purdah or strap them with bombs under their hijabs and let them blow themselves up.

Funny how some group of people now claim to hate FFK, but just a while ago he was there beloved during the shameful Bianca Ojukwu saga.

Penalty!!

Goal!

CHELSHIT.

Is this meant to be news?

This is nothing new

THANK YOU FOR THE ENLIGHTENMENT SIR . WITH ALL DUE RESPECT ,I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS ... FIRST QUESTION FOR YOU IS WHAT CAR DO YOU DRIVE AND DID YOU BUY IT BRAND NEW WHY DIDNT YOU BUY INNOSON OR THE NIGERIAN MADE CARS ?

SECOND QUESTION- WHAT % OF NIGERIANS CAN AFFORD A 5 YR OLD TOKUNBO CAR TALK LESS OF A BRAND NEW ? THERE IS MASSIVE SUFFERING WHERE PEOPLE CANT EVEN AFFORD TO EAT 3 GOOD MEALS A DAY AND YOU THINK THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR THEM IS TO INFLICT MORE SUFFERING BY ADDING MORE TO THEIR UNSOLVED PROBLEMS ?

NOW LETS LOOK AT IT THIS WAY .... YOU ARE A CIVIL SERVANT AND YOU EARN 40,000 NAIRA MONTHLY AND A LOT OF CIVIL SERVANTS EARN WAY LESS THAN THAT WHICH ISNT STILL ENOUGH TO CATER FOR YOU ALONE TALK LESS OF YOUR FAMILY ,RENT , BASIC AMENITIES, CHILDREN SCHOOL FEES (VERY EXORBITANT THESE DAYS ) AND ETC . CAN YOU TAKE OUT 37,000 NAIRA FROM YOUR SALARY FOR AN AUTO LOAN ? ANSWER IS NO

#2. THERE IS NO BLACK MARKET FOR THE NIGERIAN MADE CAR PARTS YET SO GETTING REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE VERY EXPENSIVE UNLIKE USING A TOYOTA, HONDA ETC THAT YOU CAN GET AT IKEJA, LADIPO, ALABA AND ETC ETC.

#3. THE MONIES BEING MADE FROM ALL THE PREVIOUS YEARS I.E TARIFFS /IMPORT DUTIES ETC ETC , OF WHAT USE HAS IT BEEN TO ME AND YOU ? ZERO , ALL GOING DOWN TO A FEW POCKETS.

4. BECAUSE YOU WANT TO ENCOURAGE THE PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION OF MADE IN NIGERIA CARS , YOU HAVE TO INFLATE THE COST OF IMPORTATION ? WHAT KIND OF ECONOMICS IS THAT ? WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IS TO GIVE ROOM TO ACCESSIBILITY OF THESE KIND OF LOANS TO THE MASSES AT AFFORDABLE RATES CONSIDERING OUR ECONOMY AND MINIMUM WAGE SINCE A LOT OF PEOPLE STILL EARN 15,000 MONTHLY IN THIS COUNTRY EXCEPT THE POLICY IS MEANT ONLY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE RICH. THEY ALSO NEED TO HAVE MORE PLANTS WHERE PARTS WILL BE READILY AVAILABLE AT AFFORDABLE PRICES.

5. IF I CAN AFFORD TO AND I TAKE OUT A CAR LOAN FOR 37,000 FOR INSTANCE AND I HAVEN'T BEEN PAID SALARY OF 40,000 NAIRA IN 3 MONTHS JUST LIKE THE RECENT ISSUES RELATED TO UNPAID SALARIES IN NIGERIA .... WILL THE AUTO FINANCING COMPANY HOLD THE GOVERNMENT OR ME RESPONSIBLE ?? YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO MAKE THE PAYMENTS AS AGREED AS AT WHEN DUE. IF PAYMENT TERMS ARE NOT MET, THE FINANCING COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REPOSSESS THE CAR .

WITH ALL OF THESE FACTORS, I CAN TELL YOU THAT ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR AN AVERAGE NIGERIAN LIVING MONTH TO MONTH TO BENEFIT FROM SUCH SCHEMES EXCEPT YOU HAVE A WELL SECURED AND GOOD PAYING JOB.

I answered a specific question about the availability of car loans and you totally veered off course.


Was the average Nigerian earning 40 grand monthly able to afford tokunbo cars?

I feel so sorry for the child in the first picture,why put an innocent child through such pains.

These practices are not only disfiguring but also potentially very dangerous as often times the same sharps are used for different people with the risk of transmitting blood borne diseases.

vanunu:
But buhari cancelled the lagos metro, have u forgotten. Already, gej has awarded a $12b contract for a speed train service that will link all the major cities in nigeria, we don't want buhari to come and cancel the contract again.

And pay $20b for breach of contract

MissMeiya:
If you don't want to be offended, don't interrupt when adults are talking.

Not offended just giving you helpful advice.

Montaque:
some parts are locally sourced. Upholstery,side mirror,glass,bolts nd nuts,headrest furs,rubber nd plastic parts etc. These areas are produced locally,and they are jobs to some people. The technicians that fix n assemble the vehicle are also employed.

Thanks for the education.

MissMeiya:
It appears you didn't read my post. Translate "abound" into numbers, dumbass. The market cannot support Nigerian consumption.

Cut and join economics? You're obviously too stúpid to comprehend what I wrote. If you owned a business in Nigeria, you would know exactly what I'm talking about. Fúcking ídiot.

You are very uncouth for a female.

You do not need to use swear words as it betrays one's upbringing.

You have zilch knowledge of economics, already IVM, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, ANAMCO and Peugeot are producing cars, Toyota, BMW, etc are about joining and you still choose to live in denial.

ajibsca:
IF I MAY ASK MR ECONOMIST ,WHAT BRAND OF CAR DO YOU DRIVE ? INNOSON OR ANNAMCO AND DID YOU BUY BRAND NEW ? PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO MAKE ENDS MEET IN A COUNTRY WHERE NOTHING IS WORKING AND YOU ARE HERE SENTIMENTING THEIR RUBBISH POLICIES THAT WILL ONLY HARM YOU AND I FINANCIALLY. THE TARIFFS THEY HAVE BEEN MAKING ALL THESE YRS, WHAT HAVE THEY USED IT FOR ? PURCHASE OF PRIVATE JETS WHILE THE AVERAGE CITIZEN IS STILL BEING OWED USELESS MINIMUM WAGE FOR MONTHS. WELL AS FOR ME ,TOYOTA AND HONDA UNTIL THEY CAN START PROVIDING CAR MORTGAGES/PAYMENT PLANS AND THE LIKES THAT WILL BENEFIT AVERAGE PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND ME. LESS I FORGET,IF YOU BUY A GOOD TOKUNBO CAR WITH GOOD MAINTENANCE HISTORY, YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER WITH A USED CAR.

Many people perish because they lack knowledge.

Information is power.

MissMeiya:
This administration is actually BRAIN DEAD.

Let me break this down:

Discouraging imports is great for stimulating local economy: WHEN THE LOCAL PRODUCTION ACTUALLY EXISTS. For too many things in Nigeria, the consumption FAR EXCEEDS LOCAL PRODUCTION. The market actually depends on importation for SURVIVAL.

You can't buy what doesn't exist.

So what does this mean? People will continue to import because they HAVE to, even with the increased import taxes:

• They will just pay the increased cost--defeating the purported goal of reducing imports
• They will bribe someone--increased corruption
• They will smuggle it in from neighboring countries--giving more money to other countries

The last is the most likely outcome, as it is already happening. I'm sure car dealers in Cameroon want to kiss our administration.

Please go through the above posts and quit your cut and join economics.

Made in Nigeria cars abound.

What we should be talking about now is the next frontier which includes soft financing of car purchase which is already happening
as well as ability to lease and rent vehicles all these can only be possible with local manufacturing in place.

eeeeeee:
Kia optima made in Nigeria.

Thanks for helping

From your link, it looks like the Kia Rio that is made in Nigeria will cost N1.98 million

IVM fox made in Nigeria

STALLION Motors last weekend took the wraps off one of its locally assembled Hyundai models at an interactive session with local automobile media in Lagos. The Grand base model is priced under N2 million.
The Hyundai Grand i10 as it is named is an elegantly compact family sedan that comes in two  variants with 5-Speed manual and 4-Speed automatic transmission  and powered by 1.25 Kappa Dual VTVT engine respectively

We want to see them.

We need to know the intellectual ability of the person who wants to be Nigeria's president.

His habitual failures may lie in those papers.

Done bun can't be undone.

Buhari is economically inept and has no clue how to better the nation.

All his decisions on the economy have been disastrous.

When I saw Buhari's Channels interview, it confirmed my fears that he had no idea whatsoever how to manage Nigeria's economy.

His shocking answers to questions on economic policies demands that he should never be allowed near that office he seeks.

Yam farmers giving him N5 billion.

This man must think he is talking to some group of buffoons.

At this rate cattle rearers will give him N5trillion.

DesChyko:
The average 'black man' is indeed a poor scholar!..

How many of you bothered to click on that link?? There is a notice there which says..

"..This directory is not just composed of graduates of this school, as some of the famous people on this list didn't necessarily earn a degree from U.S. Army War College."

cc: eleojo23 tit anonimi eaglechild

That is exactly why I said that the list has no meaning or credibility.

Anyone can create a rank list.

This has absolutely no meaning and lends him no credence whatsoever.

OP it is apparent that you do not know that the US has the power to veto whatever the outcome was.

Nigeria did the best thing by remaining neutral.

agabusta:
This writer made some sense but I still disagree with his subtle method of encouraging regional politics. Our political landscape has matured more than that. And it is to the benefit of the nation as it fosters unity, peace and harmony and thus development when all tribes are well represented in the major political parties.

And all persons has an active role to play in encouraging unity. There is no better way to show this unity than for different tribes to be well represented in the parties having national coverage.

Good people of Nigeria, pls let's do away with this archaic political system of Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, etc party.

Well, this seems to be happening already anyway, albeit at a slow pace, because if one analyzes the political landscape of Nairaland it shows that the two major political parties has support base across the tribes.

Playing unhealthy regional politics is just like playing with a keg of gun powder that can explode anytime and throw the nation into anachy.

The onus is on the youths to effect this change. Please lets leave the bitter tribal politics played by our parents and let's encourage politics played on conviction, unity, equity and progress to all parts of the country!

I wish you all a happy, peaceful and prosperous 2015.

Excellent.

The best move is to remain neutral.

We do not need another terrorist group springing up when we vote against and we do not want our relationship with the US becoming sour at this point so good move.

ProfCorruption:
Perhaps, Lagos will follow Enugu's example. If Enugu can stop such an appointment, what's the point in Lagos doing?

Of course people can shout marginalization where there is none. But where is proof of such marginalization?

Like I said Enugu, Ekiti or Zamfara for example are not as diverse as Lagos.

Political set ups should reflect the innate diversity of a place and Lagos is a shining example of a thriving diversity that should be nurtured in order to encourage others.


I have not seen anyone complaining or clamoring for political recognition in Enugu or Ekiti or Zamfara which clearly shows they are satisfied so why fix a good part.

If anyone feels cheated he should by all means protest.

Besides two wrongs can never make a right.

ProfCorruption:
Why did Enugu stop it? Is Enugu no longer as diverse as when it was implemented?

Perhaps, and i think if any group feels marginalized they should by all means seek for better treatment.

That is the integration we are talking about.
And just to add i am talking about the recent past.( I mean the appointments)
