BusinessRe: Federal Government Accuses Ghana, Others Of Lobbying Companies To Leave Nigeria by Eriokanmi:
I call it a smart move . Stop accusing them rather woo them.

Nigeria's unfriendly business environment and bad leadership caused this country to be this backward. With the trend globally, the west would have thronged this country today and wooed our government for their gas needs. Shell left, they didn't care. Solgas left, they didn't bother. Wilbros left , they cared less. Michelin left, nothing was done to stop the trend. Dunlop, UAC, Nigerite followed suit but they kept deceiving Nigerians that our economy was booming. PZ left , other FMCGs too. And if you attack them.they'd tell you what's the population of Ghana? Development na by population? Mthcheew.

I've been to Switzerland. That country is powerful and if its destroyed today, the entire world would never remain the same again. What's the population of Switzerland compared to that of Nigeria? What about UK, the Netherlands, etc?. If we are sincere to ourselves, Nigerian population is over 300m and not the fake 200m plus they keep telling us without conducting census to prove that. Beninnois Cefa had remained stable for decades. Now, cefa has met naira and left it behind in value. If you ask our government, they'd say its because Nigeria was hit by economic recession, covid-19 blablabla yet politicians and people in government keep stealing money. If our judicial system wasn't corrupt, Andrew Yakwubu wouldn't have won that case. A former GMD stashing millions of dollars in his village and powering it with a generator to keep the ac cooling it running 24/7. That's how they role. Crude theft is on the rise. We learnt malami and Co did a shady deal of crude during lock down but no investigation was carried out on it till date . Dat one don enter voice mail.

Down south , jagaban paraded bullion vans on a broad day light and nobody dared arrest him. These are the leaders some people are worshiping like god.

What's wrong with our youths ? If they don't rescue this country from their hands next year, I doubt if they ever can, again. And if they come out with any yeye protest, I'd not support them rather I'd tag them cowards.

What is really really happening? Can't security agencies track all these UGM?
Why must they wait for d UGM to attack first before they would start arresting innocent people?
Who are these UGM?
Does it that they don't hv a base?
I don't just understand how and why we got here.
East : UGM
North: boko, heads en and bandits
West: skullarship and organ harvesting
S/South: kidnapping and cultism.
Your questions made sense though . But seriously, this is beyond the government. If they couldn't tackle boko haram terrorists nicknamed bandits, how do you think they can tackle UGM? Agitations are the same but in different dimensions. Boko kill, kidnap for ransom and using the money to buy guns and as a means of sustainance , UGM kill in the dimension of arson.

While boko haram says they want to break away from Nigeria and declare an Islamic caliphate in thr north working passionately towards achieving it, the UGM says they're not interested in the Nigerian project anymore that until they grant them biafra, no Surrender.

It appears that as it is right now, only our tribe is neutral and that's why you're not seeing such glaring agitations here yet. The truth is, everyone wan commot too. Let God's wish prevail in Nigeria.

Even those contractors employed by the FG to buy ammunition for the military are not sincere. They are in connivance with these terrorists sponsors and some military officers

Blow that whistle and go to jail. Lol. I still blame those who blew the former nnpc GMD Mr Yakwubu's millions of dollar whistle. He went and stashed millions of dollar inside Gubabi vaults and installed the ac there to cool it off with 24 hours power generator in his village grin. You can imagine how mean our leaders can be. When asked, he said it was a donation from friends...so much money? Those who blew the whistle deserve to be punished. How can you report such a case in a country wey the rule of law get k-leg? Now Andrew Yakubu had won the case. Instead of those guys to employ some guys to whisk the gubabi vaults away and settle the security people in that house handsomely and then japa, they went and reported a fried meat case to the cat. They missed a chance of a lifetime. I'm not in support of such an act . But anything that would bring our stolen money into the pockets of the common man is a welcome idea to me, so far no life is involved. Yakwubu was said to be so greedy and a miser per excellence. Its only that small house where the huge sum was kept that had light in the whole village and nobody, including the security employed ever knew anything about the money kept there.

Jakumo:
Very true. People drive SUVs as though they are Ferraris, and this is the result. With the high center of gravity that is common to all SUV vehicles, one must take great care not to make abrupt steering inputs at high speed, and should also avoid taking sharp corners at speed.
Good point. I remember a day we were picked up at the airport in Munich by my business partner's driver on arrival. He was driving in an E class benz taxi, latest model that time. I looked at the odo and he was doing 170. I almost vomited my heart that day. I tapped my colleague in his shoulder and showed him the odo, he now said the man should be in control because their road was good. Moreover, he couldn't have tried it with an SUV. Most of those drivers need to undergo intensive training before being deployed to join any VIP aides.

I don't know where those aides are running to. It's not only about Jonathan. This affects all government officials too. I remember a similar case with osinbajo too. Anytime you see them pass, you'd think they're running car race in a competition. They kill civilians in the process and would not even stop to rescue them. We're hearing so much noise now because it's aides that were affected and not civilians. No civilian victim had ever made headlines in this case.

Jonathan should take it easy and warn his people going up and down with him. This isn't the first time.

Nosayer:
You don't force people to like you, you make them respect you and there's no way you won't (pretend to) like someone you respect.

We need to learn from China. Until we have a government that's serious about the acts of governing right, we can never be on the right path to progress and neither can we be respected anywhere.


Having the most intelligent and empowered individuals doesn't even buy respect, having the most intelligent government does. A government that knows how to play its card in economic policies, turn the country around and make it a hub for investment by serious investing in the people and infrastructure will secure respect of any other country. Even if they don't like you, they will pretend they do just to show that they respect you.
Good point. Thanks
Foreign AffairsRe: UN Suspends Russia From Human Rights Council ( Pix) by Eriokanmi:
Nice . Any news carried by reuters is confirmed!

Seriously, I still wonder why Russia was given so much power by the west in the past to misbehave this way. Russia is just 2 points ahead of Nigeria in oil endowment. Russia is 8th in the world while Nigeria is 10th. They earn over 1b usd from gas sales daily.

I guess the west hates blacks else they'd have considered Nigeria for their gas dependency instead of going to Russia. Our bonny lite crude was adjudged the best in the world so, why are the west not buying from us as much as they do Russia and other countries of like-colour? I'm sure some people would ignorantly cite corruption but Nigeria wasn't this corrupt as far back as 90s and some western countries were even more corrupt than Nigeria as of then.

2ndly, our soil is more virile for farming than that of Russia. Here we don't always need fertiliser to grow crops especially down south.

Unfortunately for Russia, instead of using the gas proceeds to better the lots of their people, they were busy using it to stockpile weapons. My cousin who schooled in Russia and speaks their language like locals had to leave there after his studies . He said there's nothing in that country , no jobs . He left for America instead.

Back to the matter, why have we not received as much patronage as Russia had done from the west on our crude and gas sale? If its construction of gas pipeline that's an issue, glo and mainOne had proved many wrong by channeling their Internet submarine cables from Europe down to Nigeria, which many banks and corporate bodies now depend on. We could have achieved our gas pipeline to Europe through North Africa. I think the west hates us.

PoliticsRe: Emmanuelle BLATMANN, French Ambassador To Nigeria Pays Tinubu A Courtesy Visit by Eriokanmi:
Unfortunately, buhari will still disappoint him. Fulani always prefers mumu people in government and that's why they keep shopping for malami,umahi,jonathan, emefiele, etc, those who wouldn't stop them from stealing. Mrs Kemi Adeosun stopped them from borrowing and stealing, they used nysc certificate mata to kick her off. By the time court now ruled in her favour, they couldn't call her back.

Until we break away from them, while other countries would be celebrating development and innovative ideas, Nigeria would remain in one place. By now, Nigerian visa should have been very difficult to get just like that of the western countries becsuse we would have been fully developed, had we food leadership.
Only in Nigeria would our leaders celebrate corruption ooenly by ushering in his compound bullion bans and no arrests wouid be made. Only in Nigeria wouldan individual stasy million of dollars inside gubabivsults and power it with ac running on generator24/7 while the entire village would be in darkness .

I remember in the 80s when our tight border was full of foreigners who wanted to enter Nigeria at all cost. Our currency was soo good. A school principal would buy a new car and build a house from his salary. Those who build houses everywhere now are either politicians who have stolen or yahoo boys. Before any Nigerian in the diaspora would think of building such houses, he must have worked hard for nearly 2 decades, non stop doing legit work. As porous as our borders are today, no foreigner wants to step in except foreign fulanis who would want to assist their brothers fight innocent people. Benin Republic would send their children here for maid jobs in those days because of how strong our naira was. By the time you change 100 naira to cefa, ground go don full but now, one naira is equivalent to one cefa. I was in Cotonou last November. I changed 1,000 naira for 950 cefa. So ridiculous. If you ask our government why, they'd tell you cock and bull stories, that Nigeria was hit by recession, covid-19 also affected our economy, crude prices fell, blablabla. They've forgotten that 99% of the African countries spending cefa don't even have oil or strong foreign earnings and they were also hit by same global recession and covid-19 yet, their cefa has remained strong and stable for years.

Make we continue naw. Na we go decide later by faya by force whether to leave or remain as one Nigeria

See my dear, most people don't care anymore oo. If you like, release videos or pictures. One month is the longest it would take her to bear the shame and that's if she's a popular personality or a celebrity. Like someone had said earlier, the OP should take it as a consequence of her action and move on with her life. Its a cross she'd have to bear. Most guys nowadays are aminals and if you tell these girls not to go after them, they'd never listen. No decent guy would lay such a threat on a girl.

There was a similar incident in owerri in February. The lady involved was crying because her ex posted her nude on her Facebook which he had access to. He posted her picture while using her Love Machine. All her friends saw it and started calling her attention to it. She almost committed suicide but I calmed her down. Took her to a serene place talked to her and bought her food and chill stuffs. While we were together, a friend called and said the case had been reported to Facebook and they've pulled down the post and the guy had also been blocked. I never knew face book could act so fast. Instead of scolding her, her friends only warned her to beware those defaming guys out there. Most of them are yahoo guys who think they can get whatever they want and whenever the like.

This girl in question happened to be my friend's sister. I'd have regarded this post as fake but because I knew somebody it happened to, it could be real.

Oga, do you know what private equity funds are?

GIP is a fund manager that pools funds from various investors. GIP's funds not GIP own the infrastructure and in the case of Gatwick, they have since disposed of the investment. Bayo Ogunlesi is a fund manager. At best, he controls the investments. To say he "owns" will be stretching the truth.

It's like a company like Stanbic IBTC pension managers buying majority shares in say, MTN. You are not going to say the CEO of Stanbic IBTC Pensions owns MTN. That would be absurd.

Gatwick is owned by Vinci Airports.
I just confirmed from a former classmate working at GIP( a white Briton). I think you have a point and that doesn't also prove that I was wrong. The GIP status has since changed. He said GIP acquired a major stake in 2009 at an agreed deal for 10 years. Upon expiry in 2019, Vinci now took over with over 50% stake while GIP still retains the remaining 49%. The stake of Vinci could also change upon expiry of agreement. He didn't tell me how long would the ongoing stake last though. I was still dwelling on the old info cos I knew when GIP struck this deal back then. Tnx

The company acquired Gatwick Airport in 2009 at £1.455 billion. The Italian Railway Company acquired isn't even added to this. Mr Ogunlesi owns GIP, fyi.
