I don't know what to contribute, it's funny arguing about this issue.

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Nigeria was worth 486.80 billion US dollars in 2015. The GDP value of Nigeria represents 0.79 percent of the world economy. GDP in Nigeria averaged 86.50 USD Billion from 1960 until 2015, reaching an all time high of 546.70 USD Billion in 2014 ...

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Kenya was worth 63.40 billion US dollars in 2015. The GDP value of Kenya ...

We are making giant strides that will DWARF whatever Kenya is doing. Kenya has nothing as extensive and sophisticated as the current $12 billion Lagos-Calabar project.

We need to pay attention to what the govt is doing in terms of projects. There is a push towards infrastructural development. Trouble is people here spend so much time fighting ethnic battles, watching BBN, following celebrities, actresses etc, that they've no clue what the govt is doing, or what projects are going on on the ground.

We have been signing rail, mining , refinery , power and what not projects since the first tenure of Obasanjo, what tangible results do we have to show for all these ?
Apart from privately sponsored projects like those of Dangote, there's no assurance that the govt funded ones will be completed. Look at the River state monorail for example, it's turning out to be one of the whitest Elephant projects in this country's history

The Gowon generation failed by letting their peers then, countries like Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore leave them in the dust. Now this crop is failing us by letting Countries like Kenya leave us behind too.

Nigeria is now being left behind by even other African countries we used to boss over.

When will Ambode commission the Lagos light rail after 18 years of supposedly progressive administrations and billions of dollars in allocation, IGR and loans wasted and stolen?
Ambode, when?

That of Lagos is more complex and much larger than this project so it should take longer

What about all the constant UCL quaifications?? Doesn't that count

Of course for teams like Man Utd, Tottenham and Liverpool who finish outside top four in modern football, UCL qualification counts. But you have to understand Arsenal expects more.


@Spy360
I agree with your list of players who should stay. I think we should add Perez and Welbeck to the stay list.

As for the leave list, I'm still not sure about Walcott. May be it's because he has been here so long.
Add Giroud

Chai, my belle nearly burst.

May you fall in the same group with Real and Napoli , amen.

kokaneprodigy:
did Arsenal finish sixth?

Honestly I stopped following the league in February, but I know we finished in Europa league region.

Lana1:
Lmao. Una talk pass this wen una end ur 9 yrs trophylessness and when u won it again 12 months later.

Usher ko, Chorister ni!! Abeg goan sit down

Skibobo skibo, at the end of the day, we win trophy even in the season of our worst league performance. Remember you have not yet qualified for the group stage of UCL o.

ollah1:
Fill me in on this

Sixth place and F A cup.

I hope this victory ushers in a new era. We do have good players, just a few additions needed.

raumdeuter:
Edoyad I heard it was because of Bayern that you chose to try your luck in the Yorupa league

We are in Europa League because the English league is COMPETITIVE as such we couldn't get automatic qualification like some people always do. Oya riddle me this, BuLi and Europa, which is more important ?

raumdeuter:
Congrats Dortmund on winning the DFB Pokal

Shame no dey catch you. Serious teams are winning trophies today , your own is to be congratulating upandan. Meanwhile, I'm sure the the useless Bayern scouts are preparing to swoop in on Leipzig and Dortmund players around now.

Sanchez is king

Biko nwanne, someone should tell mods to amend our thread title

If you want your state to be like Lagos then stop:
i. Religious extremism
ii. Militancy
iii. Terrorism
iv. Kidnapping
v. Hostile business policies
vi. Mafia-like state govts

These are just a few of the problems plaguing the places that are complaining about Lagos stealing their business.

Brestar:
Happy to be back. What a time to be alive!.
This Photo is for the Chelski haters btw

clefstone:
I have always insisted that the Chibok girls kidnap is a conspiracy. People eyes don dey clear small small

It was not. Read up on it

So the allegations are beginning to make the rounds on Twitter. Did the release of Chibok 82 and funds for payments of Niger Delta amnesty program just coincide with Buhari's medical trip or were they a well planned and thought out PR stunt ?

Rolex67:
I don't like Owerri

Because you're a girl na, the competition is stressful for you

BlackDBagba:
How much were you paid for this?!
Clean place though

That story is confirmed. I made a friend last weekend who kept disturbing me to promise him I'll visit later in the year. O boy I must go

2,000 cows to provide milk for how many million people ?

soberdrunk:
Kai!!! That was genocide, pythons are harmless plus you just wiped out a whole family......

Chickens are harmless too

Is this not a worse form of corruption than theft of money. Deny and kill the dreams of a whole section of youth in this country because they are not from Katsina. We are watching things unfold

Hahaha CHANGEEEEEE !!

LionDeLeo:
Yet, we are given the impression that these same people are as innocent as lambs.

Anyway, media noise can't change the reality on ground and wouldn't stop any apprehended culprits from being PROPERLY treated as the law demands.

Because you are ignorant and can be easily manipulated like sheep , you fail to ask what a Dane gun is. For your information there is no village in Nigeria where you won't find at least 50 of those. They are used for hunting.

When would the Nigerian Army stumble on the Marauding Fulani militia and their AK 47 rifles ?

I'm here to support BuLi

The rumour running the mills is that a commissionerr was caught in the act in China though no one can give exact derails. The rumour is so strong that the governor had to come out to deny it. But like they say, no smoke...

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has dismissed reports that a commissioner who accompanied him to Guangzhou in China for the First Nigeria-China Governors’ Investment Forum was caught stealing.

The governor was accompanied to the forum by two commissioners, Professor Dennis Ityavyar of Education, Science and Technology and Dr. Tersoo Kpelai of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, one of which was reported to have itchy fingers.

Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Terver Akase, was also on the entourage. Responding through Akase, the governor said the report “is a figment of the reporter’s imagination and should accordingly be dismissed.

“We wish to urge Benue people to disregard the falsehood being peddled on social media by members of the opposition that a Benue commissioner has been arrested in China.

“Nothing of the sort happened in Guangzhou where the First Nigeria-China Governors’ Investment Forum is currently taking place or in any other part of China.

“It is unfortunate that instead of focusing on constructive and purposeful ways of engaging the present administration, the opposition party in Benue State has resorted to blatant lies and cheap blackmail.”
