I don't even understand this

I thought I was the only one.

Can you imagine what the so called pastor shepe ( Abi na ogogoro) is watching and commenting openly. If it is one popular pastors that is commenting and supporting them like this he would have tagged them hypocrites. In this case, he is a saint. Stupid boy.

true talk

Nothing to be understood here. Why should I be charged for depositing into an account?

How can you be preaching cashless economy and be discouraging it at the same time?

true true you didn't understand. Your comment said it all

Hello Nairalanders,
A friend at work got some plots of land sometimes back and he informed us in his clique about it if we're interested in getting too.
After sometime, I concluded to get few plots there too, I went there with a surveyor friend and took the coordinate of the place cos I'm afraid of acquisition land,he came back with report today that the land is zone for Agriculture. I probe him further but the only thing he said is, I shouldn't get the land. But I was puzzled cos I see companies buying the land and a standard private school has been built in the community,
I am confused and I will need a candid feedback whether I should go ahead with the purchase or I should look else where, I used to trust the guy but his report sounds shady to me. Thanks for your response

Go to ministry of land and make some enquiry about the place before buying.

bejick:
you no want travel abi

nice question.

realestniggah:
Pray you never find yourself in that situation

You think you can never do something until you have to.

Abi no be person dey pack sh!t for sockaway pit.?
No be person dey work for mortuary?

packing shit in sockaway pit and working in mutual is different from arm robbery. They don't have any correlation at all.

IamD18:
You are lucky and should be happy she did not poison you. You lots play too much, why promise her marriage just for sex? When you know that marriage is one thing they all wish and can do anything for.

A lady travelled all the way from Porthacourt to Abuja with her money to see you, kept fvcking you, cleaned your house, did laundry for you, cooked for you and you had the mind to tell her you were joking. Nna nawao, una too like play for this country oo..

You are not even a good player, you shouldn't have even told her you were joking immediately she asked when you were planning to see her parents, because she might out of anger, poison or stab you in your sleep and nobody will know what happened.

Simple thing you should have done; Play along with a fake date, allow her travel back, then you dismiss her gradually with attitude, not gambling with your life in your house all because you had your way. Even left her in your house for work?

Well, just like you were joking and playing with marriage promises with her, let's hope she will play and joke with your money.

Imagine! Even after telling her you were joking, she still allowed you fvck her countless times and you thought she was doing it in vain? This guy no just get common sense!! He thought she was shouting "Harder! Harder!" In vain.

You said it all .he was lucky he is still alive, if the story is even true.

kaen1317:
its the agenda of the powers that be to suppress the SE and SS. It's an open secret

but why did GEJ do it?

Mariangeles:
Go for the private firm.

You'll learn so much and improve on your skills while working for a private firm than a government owned establishment .

Besides, now is not the time for you to move, since that'll cost you extra cash and time .

wrong adivce

Poorboy:
What's the calculations if a minimum wage is added, if someone earn now 99k and minimum wage moves to 42k from the present 18k what is the expected salary of the person earning 99k nouw?

why using 42k as example? Why not use the 30k minimum wage.

omenkaLives:
Kikiki. Mountains out of a mole hill.

Reply to two useless urchins who probably jumped into his face uninvited has become an insult to se and SS.

Cowardly op had to drag SS into the fray since they can hardly fight on their own without involving the SS. Atachè by force on fleek.

Just love how the young man is giving it to them hot. All they can do is wail some more online.

That said, folks, do you know the same people who would come in here wailing and grunting over this were the ones PRAISING PEOPLE WHO MADE VIDEOS OF HOW SHABBILY THEY TREATED BEGGERS WHILE RIDING IN THEIR CARS JUST A MONTH AGO??

They even bragged they'd do same if they came across such destitute.

Ibos!!! Why do you people find it so difficult swallowing the pills you administer others?

God forbid!

how are sure the op is igbo. Ur hatred for igbos is much.

Are you for real?

KingAzubuike:
Suleiman is still better than the likes of adeboye and oyedepo who have turn their churches to a money spinning franchise and threaten you with hell, doom, failure and difficulties in life if you refuse to do their bidding. Genuine men of God are very rare, not in this generation of pentecostal churches.. Even the God himself most people don't believe in him. How will a God be up there and shine him korokoro eye dey look as innocent children died yesterday at the Lagos building collapse. A God that doesn't want his creation to live long and enjoy the good things of life that one na God?

watch our tongue, to avoid attracting the wrath of God to yourself.

He forgot to thank those that voted for him ? Or does it mean that it was only these few people that voted for him?

manomam:
1. Why do they hate Tinubu? What for?
2. Tinubu never worked with federal or eastern Nigeria talk less of stealing Ndi Igbo money?
He never worked as minister or taken any federal appointment!
3. He never joined APGA talk less of sabotaging their party?
4. He didn't meddle in Igbo internal affairs!
5. Why do they call him thieves? What did he steal?
6. Why calling Yoruba "slaves". Who is actually ?
7. Why putting mouth in Lagos politics?.
8. Can Yoruba man become chairman in the east? Yet you enjoy all here!
9. Why asking for what you can't give?
10. Why do they not focus on their land and zone, why Yoruba land?
11. Can they tell Hausa "o to gee" in kaduna or Sokoto?
12. Why abusing our tolerance?
13. Can they survive Yoruba attack in Yoruba land?
14. Do they know that they have a lot to loose?
15. How I wish they receive sense, their poke nosing could be trouble fishing.
16. Why not "O to gee" in Abia, Enugu or Oweri?
17. Can man from Abia become a commissioner in Enugu? Yet it happened here! Why not be careful.
18. You choose your own APGA and dash PDP yet Tinubu is your headache, why?
19. Other ethnics are either mumu or lazy except you the most hardworking humans. Why wouldn't you allow lazy Yoruba live?
20. Why looking for avoidable problem? Why?
21. It was you in the north being attacked, in Malaysia being killed, in Gabon and Ghana?
22. You choose Kanu we choose Tinubu, you choose Azikwe we choose Awolowo, you choose APGA we choose APC, why agitating?
23. I pray it ends well with una o.
Yoruba are yet to say Tinubu is their problem why you? Why working in APGA but planning to collect salaries in APC?

what is this one saying?

santopelele:
Nigeria is old enough to be using ordinary thumb printing in its elections. in order to stop rigging, we must adopt to start using electronics, whr by we can vote electronically, then there wont be any single rigging in the election, just take example wit our atm card, u can never withdraw money anywhr u are in nigeria once dont have money in ur account. so with dis electronics method, once ur name is on the database, u can only vote once in an election and u can vote anywhr u are, and u can stil be checking who is winning with ur mobile phone digitally online

Good advice. But our politicians will Never accept it
Most of them will lose if Nigeria adopt this method.

Omoluabi16:
You see, that's my problem with some Igbo people. Atiku or not we should not gloat over this.You keep losing goodwill of your neighbours with this stinking attitude. If you can't say something nice then lock up.

why do you hate igbos. Do have any evidence to prove that those comments were from Igbos.

IBvoss:
If this damn political parties are always stressed about the credibility of elections, why don't they all collude their f*cking resources to ensure a far safer and more secure system, like electronic voting is put in place. Instead of this ancient box and paper cheat method. But they won't do that! You'll only see them wailing when the cheating didn't work to their favour.

best comment so far.

Nbote:
Dey will go to wherever their last sane actions qualified dem for...

blingxx:
So Abraham had many wives... I thought Christians were against this... Smh

Abraham is not a Christian . Remember the same Abraham is ibrahim in islam. Jesus came and change those laws of marrying so many wives

themosthigh:
Daddy Freeze is not correct about tithes. There is no Proof of any God like the one in the Bible who relish the thought of roasting people in hell. The Bible was clearly written by literate savages for the purpose of controlling people. It can be interpreted in anyway and it will neither be right or wrong because there is no true judge who inspired people to write the stories.

the topic is not for ethiest

Mcreloaded:
And yet the whole story did not bother to say what causes it

I tire oooo. They supposed to educate people on the causes and how to prevent it.

JasonScoolari:
Land grabbers always listen to live transmission of lies from the undisputed coward himself who's hiding in the Holy Land.

The brainwashed supporters of the coward will quickly close their shops at Upper (Opi) Iweka and logging to nairaland and start grunting, much like an angry pig.


The Niger Delta region is not part of your agitation, leave us alone.

lol u didn't even read anything.This is is not about Ipop.

Gratefulheart01:
Trash! What's meaning of all the shiit you wrote? Do we speak Hebrew in Nigeria? Why can't u post in English.

I thought I was the one that saw that.Even when I didn't even understand the write up, people were commenting. I thought maybe my phone has developed fault. official language in this forum, is it not English? why is Op posting in Hebrew?

This is exactly what I normally ask, if he is sure of his fixed game, why can't he play it and win big. One of them was disturbing me to give him 5k for fixed game that can give me millions, I started wondering if the dude doesn't need millions.

I think you will find this interesting.
"Build Operate and Transfer Nigeria.

By Simon Kolawole

Dearly beloved Nigerians, I have a number of proposals today that may interest you. Or upset you. One, I respectfully propose that we concession the Niger Delta to the Netherlands for 17 years. Do not change the revenue allocation formula. Do not increase the derivation formula; retain it at 13%. In fact, scrap the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and the Ministry of Niger Delta. Just hand over the Niger Delta as it is now to the Dutch and ask them to “build, operate and transfer” the region by 2033. Just a change of leaders. The same followers, the same land, the same water, the same creeks, the same share of national resources and the same 1999 constitution.

Let me fantasise: in just 17 years, the Niger Delta would have a massive network of well-built roads, electricity would shine bright everywhere, schools would be brimming with brilliance, quality healthcare would be within the reach of the people — and the lives of the Niger Deltans would be reformed and transformed. Let me fantasise further: skyscrapers, refineries, power plants and holiday resorts would dot the landscape. In fact, the bridge from Port Harcourt to Bonny Island would finally be built. Just a change of leaders. The same followers, the same land, the same water, the same creeks, the same share of national resources and the same 1999 constitution.

My second proposal. The south-east, in my view, is one of Africa’s most blessed regions in terms of human resources. Hand it over to the Japanese to build, operate and transfer by 2033. Don’t abolish quota system. Retain federal character. Forget confederalism. Don’t stand on any Aburi Accord. Simply hand over the place to the Japanese on a 17-year concession agreement. Just a change of leaders. The same followers, the same land mass, the same palm wine, the same kola nut, the same share of national resources and the same 1999 constitution. By 2033, you would swear you have mistakenly strayed into another country.

Join me in my fantasy. The first thing the Japanese would do is to come up with a policy that would make all south-east councils buy their official cars from Innosons Ltd. All south-east government vehicles would be from Innosons. All lawmakers would use Innosons cars. All official cars would be from Innosons. All contractors would patronise Innosons. You know what would happen? Innosons would be so overwhelmed with orders they would explode! Positive vibration! They would start assembling vehicles for export to Africa and beyond. Innosons would become our own Honda. Soon, Simonsons would spring up to rival Innosons.

What we know as the south-east today would become the manufacturing hub of Africa. Whatever you want to buy would be produced from there: mobile phones, electric kettles, shoes, bags, shirts, TV sets, computers, wallets, fans, air conditioners and photocopiers — all thanks to the Japanese. No, not that the Japanese would set up these factories. It is the same south-easterners (and foreign investors) that would be energised to troop to the region as a result of the leadership the Japanese would offer — easily discernible in clear vision, cohesive and intelligent policies, creative incentives, tenacity of purpose and an unwavering, genuine focus on development.

My third proposal: let us sign a 17-year lease agreement with the Dubai rulers to help us run the north-central. As usual, I am proposing different leadership only. Other variables would remain. The same followers, the same land, the same water, the same yams, the same mangoes, the same share of national resources and the same 1999 constitution. I will not even suggest modernising “our agriculture”. I am talking about travel and tourism. Look at Lokoja, Kogi state, the confluence of River Niger and River Benue. Picture the billion-dollar travel and tourism industry that Sheikh Al Maktoum could engineer there within 17 years!

Imagine what Al Maktoum can do to Jos — that beautiful, temperate city that used to be the home

of expatriates! In 17 years, we would be discussing Jos in the same category as Marrakech, Pattaya and Cape Town as preferred tourist destinations. Imagine what Dubai rulers would turn Zuma Rock to in 17 years! This mighty mountain would play host to Nigeria’s own Disneyland. You would soon be seeing “Zoom to Zuma” commercials on CNN across the world, shortly after the airing of “Incredible India”! It would be a destination for local and international fun-seekers. And to think Zuma is just a few kilometres away from the Abuja international airport…

I’m writing just 1300 words, so space would not allow me to discuss concession opportunities for the south-west, north-west and north-east — or what could happen if we lease the federal government of Nigeria to Rwanda for 17 years. Let me now time take questions and observations so that we can close our discussion and shut down. Your first observation is that I’m being too simplistic. You said I make it look like it is so easy to build roads, fix electricity, provide quality health care, improve education standards, develop tourism and create a manufacturing hub. You said I am living in fantasy. Thanks for the compliments, but I am not fantasising.

Pack your bags today and pay a visit to Bonny Island, where the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) plant is located. You won’t believe you are in the same Niger Delta. The roads are perfect. Electricity is 24/7. Water flows without inhibitions. The schools, whether conventional or vocational, are of the highest standards. I am not talking about what would happen by 2033 — I am talking of what has been on Bonny Island all along, courtesy the NLNG. If you want further evidence of what oil money can do, you can also visit the Europe-like staff quarters of the multinational companies in the Niger Delta. Yes, it can be done! I repeat: it can be done!
Your second question is that I make it look like there are no ethno-religious and political problems inhibiting Nigeria’s progress, and I talk as if there is no need to change the constitution, ditch federal character, increase derivation to 50%, or break Nigeria to pieces.

No, Ma’am, you misunderstood me. I will never understate the political and ethnic problems plaguing Nigeria. I am not 100% naive. I see, feel and observe the complexities everyday. What I’m saying, Ma’am, is that in spite of these challenges, in spite of our “bad” marriage, we can still make progress! That is why I suggest, in my proposals, that we should change only one variable — leadership.

Your own question, Sir, is why a 17-year concession? Why not 10 years? Why not 50 years? It was deliberate, Sir. We have had an unbroken democratic experience since 1999, and I am saying that if our leaders are actually interested in developing this country, 17 years is enough to go very far. My proposal is for us to have a different kind of leaders for the same period of time with the same followers, the same climate, the same humidity, the same temperature, the same vegetation, and the same share of resources. The concessionaires would still contest elections every four years but no Nigerian politician would be eligible to run until after 17 years.

I can see that professor is unhappy with me. How on earth can I be asking for a re-colonisation of Africa by proposing that we hand over to the Dutch, Japanese and Emiratis? I’m sorry, Prof, I am only speaking in parables. I am saying if the Dutch could build a country on water, if the Emiratis could create an oasis in the desert, if the Japanese could develop without natural resources, then developing Nigeria would be a piece of cake! We are blessed with all the brains, all the resources to develop this country. Our leaders must use their brains — or lease one. Forget oil. Forget FAAC. With proper leadership, the needed billion dollars would flow in from all over the world!

I will take one more question and then go home. A Nigerian who lives in the UK took his family to Dubai for the first time in August and called me from there. “Simon,” he said, “these people have two heads.”

We both laughed. So your question is: are you sure there is nothing really wrong with us? If these things are doable here, why are we not doing them? Professor Chinua Achebe famously wrote in The Trouble with Nigeria (1983): “The trouble with Nigeria is simply and squarely a failure of leadership. There is nothing basically wrong with the Nigerian character. There is nothing wrong with the Nigerian land or climate or water or air or anything else."
