toothpaste: If na me talk am now them go wan hide my post. Now get this straight for those of you foaming in your shiny mouth, of course this doesn't apply to every Yoruba person out there but it perhaps is a description of a sizeable number of the Yoruba population. Looking for government handouts, spending stupidly on owambe and closing down streets, tribalism and witchcraft champions, and finally....... the most ANTI GEJ group in the country today.

Sad but very apt!

Why do you Ibos love to disgrace yourselves.

Ali said Yorubas are not grateful to OBJ another Yoruba man .

And you are jumping around like monkey.

If you expect Yorubas to keep quite cos their brother is in power then you most be joking.

What an Irony SE people who claims to be educated cannot read and comprehend.

Ali is saying Yorubas are not grateful to their Yoruba brother OBJ.

This attest to the fact that Yorubas are OBJ biggest critics.

And who is ALI to tell Yorubas not criticize their leaders.

dvee2: suddenly USA have become a none entity country all because we must defend GEJ's action. Transpiracy International are bunch of paid clowns just because we must defend GEJ's action.very soon,the two scriptures Bible/Quaran will become archaic books because we must defend Goodluck's goof. Nigeria to cry or to laugh I don't know now?

My brother na so we see am o.

If a terrorist support GEJ he is clean.
But if an innocent citizen is critical of GEJ he is labeled a criminal.

django1: That is the problem with some of these easterners, they think retail shops contribute anything to GDP. Because Igbos own shops by the road sides have now amounted to them contributing to the GDP.
A single farm that actually creates value and provide jobs is better than a million shop keepers.

These Igbos don't even know the meaning of GDP.

They don't even know the Nigeria still export agriculture products worth Millions of dollars.

All the think is their petty trading.

No wonder FASHOLA WANTS THEM TO LEAVE LAGOS.
Most these petty traders don't have any Tax record.

ngozievergreen: Wetin dose ones dey contribute where they are? Ur ppl dont even contribute much GDP in SW not to talk of d GDP in SS/NC. U go fear yoruba part of SS

Nigeria gets most of her GDP from Agriculture.

The largest mechanized farms are in the SW.

NOW I SEE YOU PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THE MEANING OF GDP.

All you do is import,buying and selling no production.

kettykin: Possibly the Wikipedia does have more authority than the Governor and the Commissioner as they have contrary views

It will however be extended to other towns such as Oyo, Iseyin and Ogbomosho. The commissioner disclosed further that out of 219 claimants in Ibadan, over 50 have so far appeared before the joint committee for demolition and compensation of obstructing properties.




http://tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/component/k2/item/7129-we-ve-set-a-standard-for-governance-in-oyo-ajimobi

Governor Ajimobi, while saying that the Ajumose Shuttle was another effort of his administration in making life easier for the people, added that the phase of the transportation scheme was meant only for the workers, while he promised that the remaining 90 buses would take care of the students’ scheme when commissioned.

“This is the first in the scheme that will ease transportation, not only in Ibadan, but also in our other major towns of Oyo, Ogbomoso, Saki and Iseyin. We shall soon introduce other measures that will integrate our public transportation into the ongoing urban renewal project,” he said.

Hahaha

You used a WIKIPEDIA link which I quoted.
So your WIKIPEDIA is correct and mine is wrong.

Should we also believe what the OYO government says and discard the information from the Oyo State website.

Next time don't argue over things you know nothing about.

kettykin: Please can you read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyo_State
i don't have time for un intelligent questions

Can you kill yourself?

Oyo is a city in Oyo State, Nigeria......

kettykin: Oyo town is not a city ,by the definition of a City Locally and internationally , Oyo town does not qualify Thank you

Now you ignorance is showing.

So Oyo is not a city.

ikwere militant: but all of u are busy hailng fasole for just d launchng of the eko atlantic project dat hs not comencd but u pepl re praisng hm lyk a demi god.but gej is dong hs ure all beligurd.u pepl shoud stop hidng under jelousy in tosing ur self rightous card ure all bunch of hyppcretes dat cliam lv for dis nija while urr all sheeps in wolf clothings yorrobers gej will shame all of u.lyk ur proverbial aran anakankanfo am expecting ur ritual sucide lyk ur fadas did awole nd abioole

Even your GEJ came to see the completed Phase of the Eko Atlantic.

Your Igbo brothers are already buying the land and that is the next phase.


I thought GEJ claims the project is BOT for years.

I hope they know that 2015 is 2 years from now.

acidtalk: Let us be serious and sincere for once. Even if this joke is said on forums and amongst friends during social gatherings should employees of top organizations (or any organization at all) take such joke to their work place?

This is your second thread on this issue.

Is the man your father?

The word OGA is not new in corporate Nigeria.

ujchief: Because Dame Patience Jonathan finally confessed she 'Died' and 'resurrected', against the wishy-washy news Okupe and Usinlo was feeding us.

hahahahahaha

Sure these people will be calling Ngozi to confirm if the report is from World Bank.

kettykings: When did Oyo state became one city
Oyo state is a 1 city state , this means Oyo state has only 1 city which is ibadan even though other towns like oyo town , Ogbomosho exist

Do you even know the meaning of GDP
if the definition of GDP is the market value of all officially recognized final goods and services produced within a state in a given period of time

How did you pass your exams
you must have been a product of the Awolowo's free Education scheme (AKA Education for all by the year 2000)Stick to the topic


If you had read what i posted very well you would have seen that my answer to you were based on the original post

You continue with your failure.

Oyo is a city,Ibadan is another city apart from other cities in Oyo State.

So why are you claiming Oyo is a city state.

Am happy you are on the internet, kindly read-up the meaning of GDP.

Igbos who enjoyed Awo free education are better.

kettykings: The primary factor that motivates a bank to expand its branches is Profitability based on the bank expansion strategy in Nigeria and from statistics from CBN the most profitable places for bank business can be found from the table below (No serious bank would open a branch in an unprofitable and nonviable location with no customers)

Number of Commercial Banks
Lagos
Abuja
Rivers
Anambra

The Cash flow in a state does not have a bearing on the GDP of the state however it does show the rate of economic transaction/exchanges going on in a state (i will explain this later)
According to CBN the states with the highest cash flow are below in order of priority

CBN Deposit mobilisation
Lagos
Kano
Anambra
Abia

I tend to conclude that more than half of the Economy of the South East is not visible , a case in point is that of Kanu Nwankwo an Igbo ex international who happens to be building a N1.4 B Hotel in lagos which ordinary would have been counted as part of the lagos GDP/Economy but in reality is an Eastern Economy with a branch in Lagos same goes for Dangote's Investments in Lagos and other southern states boosting the GDP of those states but in reality the business could be registered in Kano .just the same way much of the Diaspora wealth repatriation is far above what was reported.

My Advice to SE Governors is to battle to Localize the N100B / Day Auto parts Business in the SE , leverage on that to build a world class auto parts industry rather than leaving the huge industry in lagos and subjecting it to daily harassment and displacements

In as much as i don't want to go into argument whether the below GDP is right or wrong i want to point out a few things about the GDP from sources which i have quoted.

GDP does not take into account the following

Wealth distribution – GDP does not account for variances in incomes of various demographic groups. See income inequality metrics for discussion of a variety of inequality-based economic measures.

Underground economy–Official GDP estimates may not take into account the underground economy, in which transactions contributing to production, such as illegal trade and tax-avoiding activities, are unreported, causing GDP to be underestimated.

Asset Value–GDP does not take into account the value of all assets in an economy. This is akin to ignoring a company's balance sheet, and judging it solely on the basis of its income statement. A good example is the N100 B a day auto parts Business


Non-market transactions
Non-monetary economy
What is being produced
Sustainability of growth

Further Analysis , one can not help but wonder how Osun state that has no real economic bearing will have a higher GDP than Plateau state that boasts one of the largest food processing company in Nigeria (NASCO) and feed mills and a steel rolling plant and tin ore deposit , what industries does Osun have besides tourism which attracts dies hard ifa followers to their river goddess , where as plateau is a thriving tourist destination with the cool temperature all year round and conference location in Kuru.

Other infractions noticeable include the high rating of Oyo state at number 4 after delta state , Oyo state is a 1 city state , this means Oyo state has only 1 city which is ibadan even though other towns like oyo town , Ogbomosho exist .
Ibadan is largely a decrepit unplanned town populated by largely worn out houses inhabited by mostly low income civil servants and farmers, besides the presence of companies like BAT , IITA, procter and Gamble and some Biscuit companies Oyo state has nothing comparable to a state like Akwa Ibom .
For BAT , the anti smoking campaign of the Federal health Agencies has made nonsense of what ever the profit projection the founders did in citing the Business in Ibadan possibly they could gone to a country of smokers like china . where as Procter and gamble has not lived up to competition with other brands from Nivea ..etc while IITA is pure an international research agency.
Ibadan airport records very dismal flight records and the state is not a mineral rich state.
The question is how come the GDP of Oyo was rated higher than the GDP of Akwa Ibom which is one of the fastest growing Economies in Nigeria with Mutli Billion Dollar firms like the Aluminium Smelter Plant , the Osso Condensate, Multi Billion Naira Refinery , a World Class Sea port , A world Class Airport Hangar and a fast growing Economy.

if the definition of GDP is the market value of all officially recognized final goods and services produced within a state in a given period of time
it then means that just the market value of Osso condensate in Akwa Ibom in a month dwarfs all that Oyo state can ever produce in a year, this leaves me wondering about the authenticity of the report below.

How did you pass your exams.

When did Oyo state became one city.

Do you even know the meaning of GDP.

Policewoman: Was Awolowo not an ex-convict who was convicted because he instigated crisis in the west in 1963? He was later pardoned by Gowon, so why una come dey make noise?

Just shut-it, so pardoning AWO is a justification for pardoning ALAM.

So why pardon him, if he can still contest without pardon.

That pardon is just a legal rubber stamp.
Nobody can drag him to court .

You cannot register a business or Organization at the CAC without a standard business office and names of directors/trustees.

So who are the poeple behind the APC and were is their office.

This shows why this country will never be better, imagine people justifying the fraud.

jadakiss213: they were cleared years ago and the Presidential Advisory Council still recommended to Yaradua for Diya,Adisa and co to be granted full Presidential Pardon? seems there so many daft people wt comprehension issues on ds forum or at best just displaying ignorance.

You probably the daft one here.

Learn to express yourself better next time.

See the way GEJ fans are panicky.

Weather CLEMENCY or PARDON,
It means the have been cleared many years ago.

So why do it again to justify ALAMs pardon.

Goddex: Whatever, the facts remain that one smart Nigerian has forwarded an application
to INEC for registration with APC acronym.

The peeps in APC are too dull and not smart at all. Politics is not all about one
ACN Liar speaking plenty grammar all the time.

So you support this fraud.

This is thesame method used by Ade-Bendel to defraud people.

EzeUche: Oil wells are located in Abia, Imo and Anambra state. All of these are core Igbo areas.

Now why should we give up our oil wells?

And how come so many from the South West and Northerners are involved in the oil industry when not a drop of oil is located in those regions?

Can you compere the volume of Oil production from Ondo alone to everything produced on the SE.

We have a tread on this here in NL.

EzeUche: The SS needs no defense. However, we (Igbos) are just lending our numerical support to help out the minorities of the SS.

Would it be fair if the Yorubas and the North to gang up on the SS?

So you based your support on inaccurate information.

Well, You Igbos should be the first to hand over your Oil wells to the SS.
IF THAT WILL BE POSSIBLE.

Who are the owners of the new APC.

[quote author=One_Naira]Like I said, go cry to those that pointed fingers at you people for not including Igbo. Let us hear word with this your crying and shouting ojukwu everywhere. You kno where three aforementioned lives go there and cry to them and demand they include Igbo in their accusation if you feel like una got a case. Incase you didn't realize it Yoruba attention seeking brought your region names out. When the first accusation was made, the senator did not point fingers at SW, the same way he pointed no fingers at any southern region, go read the article again. Infact he disregarded the entire southern region. of course SW had to speak on a problem that is no way concern them and that is how your people got the light shined at y'all too. Now you're crying they didnot shin the light at SEasterners. Did SE make a fool of themselves by turning attention to themselves? Prior to SW getting themselves involved, was the argument not b/w SS and North? You brought the attention on yourselves now you are crying foul. Take this from a SS Igbo, Learn to be like SE and keep una mouth shut if una don't want people accusing you of anything.[/quote]The mistake you people are making is openly supporting the Senator tribal rant.
Why will a Senator of the FRN do such a thing.

And we people are showing you she falsely accused the North. You keep ignoring due to your hate for some people

EzeUche: These Yoruba people are something else. Article after article is being written by them defending the North.

Every Southern group sees a snake and we know which group that is...

And why are Igbos defending the SS.

But Muslims women wears Hijab in Camp

CFCfan: He was instrumental in ensuring that Nigeria attained the US CAT 1 status. This enabled our domestic airlines to fly directly to the US on Nigerian-registered aircraft.

Don't mind those tribal bigots.

Where is NEXUS 4

Duru1: I guess you think the plentiful black dirty mud in southwestern region of Nigeria is an indication of crude oil deposit. Of course, it has been trashed out by a group of deceitful hack writers who made good living out of tales of a character that fell from the sky.

Mumu, the Oil produced from Ondo alone surpass everything produced in the SE.

You think everyone is into noise making about Oil.

Eziachi: That could be the case, but I still want to see the correct updated list of Nigerian oil bloc holders no matter where they come from, then we all can talk. Until then senators list remain the only one available debate on.

And were is the Senators list.
