how come they were so many with umbrella, just asking |
In Nigeria there is no Justice, was not expecting any difference, make him just rule well |
KnowAll:why do you, make such statement. he is not an Idio.t,U K does not have states to have development. I think he made sense in all he said |
I get inspired by people of great visions, Fela is one of them for me, all what he spoke about over 20 years ago is all taking place |
olawalebab:Thanks my brother , that is what was thinking of as well |
sulad82i:This is how stupid our Journalism is, what is Unique about the alternative for traffic congestion. I thought they were going to say the tell us fast the train is or is self driven. China gets the west to build its railway while we go for Chinese and then call it unique. I guess it is unique becos we spend more and get 18 century coaches |
yomola: |
Beaf:You can't buy me that cheap and i can't be nice to you becos you see thngs that are killling me nad my generations and you keep supporting then blindly. Head of PTF is not being chairman of NNPC fool. And the money from PTF was well spent considering Oil was selling at about $10 a barrel.My guy I made a mistake to noticed you on this topic. Am just getting so upset here |
Beaf:Bring you facts you fool, how are they subsidizing , that is what we should ask. How come we don't hear all this in other oil producing countries as much as we hear in Nigeria. They should subsidize their pockets |
Imanuelle:You don't care you will wait so long for your preferred Patrick.I wish we could always face the fact |
Kobojunkie:I felt you could have agreed with the main point of bogus statistics that I was making before pointing out of our import from Ghana, at least we still came to an agreement from both side. A more serious record like knowing how much crude oil is pumped out , they don't know , talkless of food for the masses. They love us so much and the spend that much yet the small fuel subsidy they want to take out. |
[quote author=PROUD-IGBO link=topic=782949.msg9353922#msg9353922 date=1318802032]Those figures quoted are suspect (around $160 billion But why wouldn't we lay more emphasis on importation when a sizeable number of the working population are chasing oil/government contracts, and the remainder lucky enough to get employment would prefer working in Banks; Oil and Blue-chip companies, irrespective of their qualifications. With our penchant for quick and easy money to show-off with, farming is seen as too much of a hassle; hard work; not prestigious enough and you'd be likely to grow grey hairs b/4 you start seeing adequate returns on your investments. The fact of the matter is easy 'oyel' money has made us lazy in this country. The few large-scale farmers we have are not adequate for our needs as a country, and also not efficient and focused enough as many of them are distracted by other commitments like politics and other businesses they may have. And for those pissed-off to the point of wanting a revolution: fat chance of that happening!!! . There's so much complexity to our make-up as a 'nation' for any revolution to be successful. If one were to happen, you'd be sure to see the elite/ruling-class/politicians/Oligarchs play on ethnicity [/b]and religious sentiments to dagbaru the whole thing . Think back to the events leading up to the coup of 1966 and you'll understand where i'm going with this line of reasoning. The only way a revolution can work is if the ethnic nationalities that make-up Nigeria today were allowed to leave and form their own countries, and then maybe seek to form [b]REAL nations or confederations with like-minded ethnicites where equity/justice/merit are non-negotiable and there's no recourse to the antiquated ideas of quota-system and federal character nonsense that is holding us back as a nation. If this were to happen, then and only then would the theiving ruling-class have a fight on their hands.[/quote]That is very true, a simple example is when I pointed out that the figures were bogus and all what KOBOJUNKIE(whom I always respect in NL) could pick out from my post was that egusi and garri are imported from Ghana, so that is to say Ghana should be getting at least 1 trillion naira a year of our money every year. Most Nigerian chase shadow than the real thing to be able to revolutionize. |
[quote author=aloy/emeka link=topic=782949.msg9351325#msg9351325 date=1318776768][size=14pt]Nigeria Imports N24tr Food Yearly [/size] AS the global community celebrates the World Food Day today, the grim food crisis in Nigeria has taken the centre stage at different fora across the country in the past weeks. The dire situation is poignantly brought home by the hefty amount the country spends annually to import the most basic staple foods, including rice, fish, sugar and wheat. Besides other sources, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Resources, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina and the Ondo State governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, presented the alarming stats. For instance, Nigeria spent N98 trillion ($628 billion) between 2007 and 2010 on importation of food into the country. This translates to N24 trillion yearly. In 2010 alone, the country spent N632 billion on wheat; N356 billion on rice; N217 billion on sugar and N97 billion on fish. While it produces only 500,000 metric tons of rice, Nigeria consumes 2.5 metric tons. Hence, it spends about N1 billion per day on rice alone. Estimated annual fish demand for Nigeria is about 2.66 metric tons. Yet, the 2009 annual domestic production was about 0.78 metric tons with a supply-demand gap of about 1.88 metric tons. Although livestock output in the country has been growing at six to seven per cent annually, it is unable to match the growth of demand due to poor nutrition, disease and poor breed, according to the Minister of Agriculture. This has prompted sharp increases in the price of livestock and meat in the past five years. Governor Mimiko summed up the facts on ground thus: “This is a clear departure from the reality of Nigeria in the 1960s when agriculture provided the main source of employment, income and foreign exchange earnings for Nigeria. The advent of commercial oil exploitation in the mid 1970s, no doubt, heralded an era of decay for agricultural output in Nigeria.” http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=64440:-how-nigeria-imports-n24tr-food-yearly-&catid=1:national&Itemid=559[/quote]I know you guys will attack me , but this still shows that we are very backward in keeping records, it is impossble for Nigeria to spent that amount in a year, how much do we make and how much is our budget in a year. For me personally, I eat egusi soup, garri and other Nigerian product most of the time in a year, They should stuff those figure in their a.s.s. Common to pay minimum wages, they are sshouting talkless is thinking of the mass and importing that amount of food |
badmrkt:Thanks my brother, I still keep dreaming the day Nigerians will start to think well, this shi.t is drawing us too backward, every one including sudan are moving forward. we should be looking for a man with a vision |
godswill44:And what will they use the training to do, How many companies in Nigeria are using Oracle, is you training for DBA, developers or end users.You Guys should stop this fraud and yes I said fraud. That is how A friend was so excited about paying 300k with nicc or something to do Oracle and I advised her not to take it but she did, now when I ask her about the program , she does not want to talk about it. Go and advertise to company that use Oracle or sap in Nigeria and not here abeg |
Beaf:Idea is not good , this is a white elephant project, Nigeria still worries me with things like this, when I see western countries talking about employment, they define things like road buildings and so on to create jobs, Even the YouWin website posted by beaf shows roadside shoe repairer, shopretailers and someone Ironing on the floor outside,that tell the whole story, The whole thing is a joke. 50Billion is toosmall to create jobs for the whole country, the should cut the budget of Nass and other politican offices and put in big money to build sustainable industry to create proper jobs. |
moderatorr:Shut your mouth, you fool |
chamber2:I can see that your standard is very low to call this Nigeria london. Poor road marking, contruction , surveying and I can go on, we have to learn to do things the modern way and stop praising low standard work |
[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=778399.msg9307317#msg9307317 date=1318211477]Southeast governors insist on new state By Chris Oji Southeast governors yesterday gave a condition for backing the planned constitution amendment: an additional state in their region. They threatened to withdraw support for the exercise, if they are not given another state. The Southeast has the least number of states – five – among the six geo-political zones. To perfect their plan, the governors met in Enugu yesterday. They resolved to present their report for discussion at the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) meeting in Abuja tomorrow. The governors said it was high time all geo-political zones in the country had equal number of states in the interest of equity, fairness and justice. Chairman of the Southeast Governors Forum Peter Obi of Anambra State told reporters that they met to articulate a common position and present their demands at the NGF meeting. Constitution amendment was the main agenda at the Enugu meeting. Obi said if the Southeast’s request for additional state fails to receive priority attention, its five governors would back out of discussions on constitution amendment. He said: “Basically today (yesterday), we discussed one issue, the issue of constitution amendment, especially as it concerns the creation of an additional state for the zone, to have the same number of states in all the zones of the country. “We are not asking for a particular number of states. We are only calling for equality of states for all the zones and that is what we want.” Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha said: “If the Northwest zone could have seven states, the Southeast zone could as well have seven. In essence, the Southeast governors are calling for additional states.” The Seventh National Assembly has kick started the process for constitution amendment. The Senate and the House of Representatives has each constituted Constitution Review Committees. The committees will collate the position of Nigerians on the amendments in addition to leading the process of amendment. While Deputy Senate President Ekweremadu chairs the Senate Committee on constitution review, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Emeka Ihedioha chairs the Reps’ committee. Both of them are incidentally from the Southeast. http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/news/22360-southeast-governors-insist-on-new-state.html[/quote]The fact still remains that most Nigerian do not have visions or know how a country can move forward. They keep on looking for things that are not important and would still bring the country down. Instead of them to discuss how to managed properly the states already in place, discuss how the constitution can be changed, creating a more secured and developed environment. Creating more states in the present Nigeria is just madness, I always say this that we should go back to basics and get things to work and stop chasing shadow, shame on Peter Obi |
[quote author=oti-igba link=topic=777616.msg9303621#msg9303621 date=1318152914]lol!! so this means if i send 5000 US dollars back to naija i will have a million naira, sweet! nice one! [/quote]And that 1 million would still buy you what half a milion use to buy before |
Beaf:Please , you can see in the original post that the problem is the government not central bank. Fresh Air |
[quote author=maxpro-xl link=topic=778029.msg9304127#msg9304127 date=1318162486]so after many years of residing in europe, osaze can still be primitive in his way of thinking. what has predictions got to do with football. someone made a negative statement based on assumptions and u accepted it as your reality. its so sad & painful for NIGERIA. t[b]he man said u will loose the match with a goal margin(1-0) to be precise, not that u will not qualify. the match was a draw. there are two gates to people's lives. the EAR gate and the EYE gate. whatever you HEAR and SEE continuously will enter your heart, and whatever has entered your heart will ultimately control your life. thats the problems with the SUPER-EAGLES. probably siasia himself beleived in the prediction. SUPER-EAGLES players and officials needs a psycologist to work on thier mind-set. or better still, a MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER. l recommend some-one like FELA DUROTOYE of visible impact. this will inspire them to victory next time [/b][/quote]Did you read what he said , go back and read it , he said 1 goal in the late minute will decide the gate and that it will not be in favour of Nigeria, he also said that the first team to score will win. Leaving in europe is a disaster for anyone who stops having spiritual believe in my own opinion |
musKeeto:This how you express ignorance here, the bible says be careful about nothing but in every thing in prayer and supplication . So wetin concern us praying before we eat with God, it is not important abi, but it is a topic |
toluxa1:And what is your knowledge or you are referring to yourself. |
NnamdiN:where have you been apart from uyo |
ITbomb:My guy, name only 10 projects that Godswill have done that justify the money that he has spent.Untill you guys open your eyes and look at things from a 21st century manner, we are still doomed, you gave a link to the projects he has done, looking at the Uyo calabar road, I did not see any barriers protecting cars by the hills, and that road was a 27 billion naira project, please also note that the road is a federal road which the cost was to be refunded by the federal government. I also remember when the federal government refunded money for the power plant and $80 million dollar went missing. All i can say make una stay there dey decieve una self. Each time I check projects that are taking place in dubai, bahrain and qatar, most time they are cheaper than what is spent in Nigeria but they look better and are efficient. Akwa Ibom is a disgrace |
[quote author=Omo_Tier1 link=topic=774354.msg9271815#msg9271815 date=1317715467]As much as I applaud Akpabio for the development initiative, I have the inkling that this development drive is unsustainable given that much of the revenue utilized for the development comes from oil proceeds. With the oil wells and costal lines thought to have belonged to Akwa-Ibom now being reclaimed by Cross-Rivers and Rivers States, like some economic analyst have said not too long ago, Akwa-Ibom would shoot itself in the foot. More worrying is the fact that the state IGR rank below states like Edo and Ogun and I am of the opinion that it is not enough for governments today in Nigeria to build roads, bridges, etcas they must go a step further to ensure the development is sustainable by strengthening thier financial based through well orchestrasted IGR. In all, kudos to Akwa-Ibom and the Akpabio government.[/quote]Please people don,t be decieved by that criminal called akpabio who only know how to paid journalist to write crap in the papers. The man himself does not understand what it is to be developed. He has just awarded a contract to build a banquet hall in the government house for 18 billion Naira, please the cost is too much, he is thief |
sucnif:You see if we give ourselves time to reflect on things, then we would understand things sometimes. Your above statement is like saying if we pray, we will live forever, God uses anything to prove to us that there is more to what we humans see, prophecy like this is just to show that, there is supernatural powers above human understanding and that is why you will see Nairalanders showing themselves on topics like this. Me personally will stay on the side and watch and if it comes to past that Nigeria loses by 1 goal as he said , then I will believe him. This man has alway been right in all that he says from london roit to whatever. go do your research |
chakaz:In what way or you just want to say something |
Canisma:This is exactly what he said.The game did not favor Nigeria and the first to score will win. He was simply saying that if there is no prophesy, the people are in darkness |
[quote author=Godman_n link=topic=769360.msg9229667#msg9229667 date=1317126327]Animal Nigerians without head. You will soon reap what you sowed. I am sure ordinary Nigerians are better than you commentators here. Sure it is the children of the stealing elites that would never see the truth that Buhari keeps saying. He cried during the election and we laughed. Today we have a GEJ. The masses are dying. But don't worry, it will soon get to most of us. Then in shame we will come to realise the saint that Buhari is. cursed people! cursed land. I am ashamed to be part of you[/quote]Well said my brother, I always feel Nigerians deserve what they get, When Fela was shouting about all this, they say him dey smoke , make they no mind am, now Buhari did not rule himself out from being elite, all he is saying is the youth should hold the elite responsible for our problems. But all you can see people do here is to come and attack the sense that the man is talking. Nigeria and its people are doomed |
