Keke Napep is good when you buy it with your Money. But hire purchase? Haa u go suffer. And FYI Keke is more than one million.

Keke is 830k. New one

Those dollars are even fake.
Nigerians and their eagerness to show off is second to none

Youths investing on useless stuff. If you don have any thing to do with your money, open Dom account buy dollars and keep. As dis country dey naira no go rise, e go dey fall

Both religions worship the same God

Both Religions have the bible as its holy book

The difference between Christianity and Judaism isnt that much

The Jews don't believe in Jesus Christ

You think that the Yoruba, Ijaw, Edo and Hausa people that allow your people to open businesses in their communities are stupid and lazy, those ethnic groups have created an enabling and accommodating environment for all ethnicities, yet you abuse their generosity with your arrogance of "No man Land" and Igbo's superiority.

If Igbo industries and finance are developing Lagos and the SW, who is benefitting from the investment? ... The investors and the Lagos state government that can utilise the ROI to develop the SW and Lagos state.

It takes a lot of tact and diplomacy to encourage outsiders to invest in their communities. The Igbo man that built a large supermarket in an Edo village, will not do that unless he is satisfied that the Edo community is accommodating and there is a ROI.

My brother, there are some big Hausa man DAT do biz in east, but dey won't invest in the said region. They make dIA money and go dIA state, hence not contributing to d state economy.
An average iboman in the north, will pay rent for shop, house rent, gov. tax, NEPA bill etc
But an average aboki in the east, wouldnt pay for anytime. I know an Hausa man DAT do bring trailers of yam from the north to east (Enugu). In one week, de man dey sell about 6 trailers or more. He stays in Enugu often, the man don't one property to his name in Enugu, a state where he makes his millions. The said man have an estate in kano, filling station. Money he made in the east etc.
But an IBO man will build a mansion in the kano, where he makes his money, if you go his home town, u will be surprise he don't have any single building to his name.
So tell me who is more patriotic Nigerian

sulaak:
It's this level of arrogance that force other ethnic groups to dislike Igbo's. If Igbos are this good why don't they develop Eastern Nigeria.

I bet you, all big market and building in the east is100% dominated and own by Igbo's. But you cant say that in other region. When I was serving in abuja, my friend from Edo a Muslim told me, the biggest supermarket in his village is owned by an Igbo man. The time I traveled to jos for a job interview the hotel I logged was owned my an IBO man, one big pharmaceutical shop across was owned my an IBO man. I had seen I mansion built by an IBO man in kano, if u go sabo gari in Kaduna na rich IBO men dey dia.
An Hausa man or Yoruba man can never build a big mansion in the east or a massive investment.
Make I tell you one things abt IBO's. Dem no dey stay one place, if Enugu no favour am, him go move to Lagos, if Lagos favor him go move to Kaduna, na so him go dey move, if gombe come favour, him go make dia him deck. Build mansion, learn dia language and culture,
Dat where ppl normally use did analogy
"Anywhere u go, if u no see an ibo man, run dat place na nonsense".

mekaboy:
Lol. Lets assume Yoruba population is more. But anytime Nigerian shops are locked, the igbos are mainly the victim's. Go and look for videos of Nigerians protesting the locking of shops, show me how many yorubas you see.

Spare parts market you can also go and search for videos of shops locked in kaneshi abosu okayi. Show me how many yorubas are victims.

If its anything trading. Leave it for the igbos. I wont argue about ovation magazine or banks . None of the Nigerian banks in ghana is more than 18 years there. Highest 2003.

When did Ghananians start importation? Its not been up to 25 years.

They all go to togo to buy cars from Nigerians and lebanese. Till date the still drive cars with togo numbers, because its cheaper in togo and they go and renew the papers at the border periodically.

Go to togo asei and asigami markets. Tell me how many yorubas are there.

Oga u get time o. Dat mumu know know na Igbo get commerce for Africa. Baba if u enter wuse market for abuja, banex village, gsm village, u go think say u dey east

NSK4U:
You are either a half baked Christian or non Christian at all. If you are doing good with your Bible, you would have come across the story of Jonah, the story of Saul's choice as King and rejection by the same God, etc..... Will you now say that the God of Bible is a confused God, obviously you have no clue of what you talk about. Thank you

baba read your bible well, children of Israel chose saul to rule dem not God. they were protesting to have a king and be like other nations, because in d beginning they don't have king, God speaks to dem tru prophet, they later started protesting they needed king, n elect Saul, anyway hate writing long text, I would have explained better. meanwhile I have never taken mbaka serious

It’s called ‘show biz’ for a reason.

They flash glamour and material resources across social media but behind the scenes are managing their lives just like an average person out there.

One of the life lessons that have improved my life greatly is the knowledge that - aside God and family nobody else gat you.
Know this and know peace!

Africa's problem is not people having sex or philandering, Africa's problem is foolishness, poverty and backwardness..
Africa's problem is people like you with this kind of shallow reasoning in numbers

Are you alright?

[quote author=BluDesk post=100558341]Get lost.


Do you carry weight scales to measure your own kiln to buy it.


Abeg get lost if you no get anything talk. Kiln I've been on the tail since its entry to Nigeria na him you dey follow me. Argue


Abeg waka[/quo
nah now I know say I dey argue with an illiterate. A fool with always feel right in his own eyes.
i don waka
next time you buy klin, check for the net weight, it is boldly written. is mandatory

BluDesk:
Smiles. Kin satches Oga was 20 Naira for a decade. It's your business, I'm an economist and an industrial chemist. Why kiln prices later soared if I begin to break it down e go pass your mind. Go do your research. You dey weigh your own kiln buy?

oboy you just showed your ignorance. which one be say " I dey weight my own kiln buy". upon all your education you don't know all products have their net weigh?. abeg no embarrass yourself further. I have worked in nafdac (NYSC). food unit, chemical unit, veterinary unit, drug evaluation unit. let me educate you, klin comes in different quantities 16g, 25g, 65g, 120g and more. the ones that are more saturated in the market is 16g, 25g and 120g. I know no the economist you be

BluDesk:
Obviously you don't know the detergent industry. Kiln was 20 Naira for atleast a decade. Do your homework. From 2002 to 2014,kiln remained at 20 Naira.

which home work, this is my business oga. around 2002 klin 16g was sold at 5naira, 25g 10#, 65g 20#
now kiln 16g is 30#, 25 is 50Naira, 65g is 100# while 100g is 120#. know their net weigh before u talk to me oga. don't just mention kiln is sold at 20# since 2002

Tobbit:
Hahahahahahahahaha. Yes. Cause when one can't speak about one's activities with high level of intelligence, it means there's rottenness deep within. That's why no matter what he does Arsenal won't sell the club to him so he can white wash his image


He's stripping Nigerians to the bones but just few know it.


Cement should not be more than 2500/3500 Naira per bag.


When Dangote mentioned interest into Tomatoes, the market got destabilised, same Tomato that had revolved around 40/60 Naira for decades skyrocketed to 150/200 Naira


Now let me go deeper into the underlying econometrics of this.


If Tomato is farmed, processed, cost of maritime, haulage to Nigeria and the price steadies around 40/60 Naira for a decade, Home based productivity that benefits the masses should go below the import/retail price for the same size and not Quadriple it.


Which makes me beg our local outfits when they write stories why don't they get experts to run intelligent analysis on issues like this?


How should Tomato farmed in Italy/China cost five times lesser the proposed Nigerian price. And we want to maintain a strict almost closed market structure around it



The same thing is being done to Milk as we speak and will begin to roll out over the next few years


Local productivity isn't just about creating jobs if it's not going to result into subsidised reduction or close in prices to Imported goods, then should we bother about home based productivity atall?



The insult as a macroecononist that I am is Many average Nigerians will say fluctuations, light, power this that and that. Forgetting these guys mostly use casualties labours, generate huge finances from the stock market which in itself ought to be a stabiliser against sudden spikes in production chain


So I beg to wonder where are the elites



If I'm wrong, why is Milo still the same price inspite of different economic realities in the past 5 to 10 years. Kiln maintained the same price for over a decade. Nut No, Dangote must spike prices 50 times every 2 years, yet Nigerians are the ones financing it realistically and getting terrible Dividends that doesn't reflect profits his overall financial standings continue to reflect



I don't think Nigerians have professionals in the media. I doubt.

klin didn't maintain their price. as of klin 120g increase from 2100 to 2300. quantity wholesale. Milo maintained dia price for over 5 years now. but peak 16g (fullcream) skyrocketed from 9200 to 11300(quantity price) just within the space of 6 months.

Modesty0604:
Let me start with transportation... Transportation is very cheap in Abuja. Cheaper than both Lagos and Portharcourt.

Food is generally cheap in Abuja. You should not be surprised about this because Abuja is in the north and food is generally cheap in the whole of the north.

The biggest problem with living in Abuja is accommodation. Accommodation is very expensive in Abuja.

You mentioned Jabi. Let me remind you that Jabi is one of the districts in Abuja that are considered highbrow. One of the reasons is because these districts are close to the city centre. So, if you want to stay in Jabi, you must have a fat pocket.

Accommodation is cheaper in places like Kubwa or Lugbe (Airport road) which are not too close to the city centre.

Kubwa no cheap o, unless say na kubwa village.
Baba if you go FO1 for kubwa. Baba house way ppl built there ehh, Nigerians get money I swear, good road, street lights you go think say u dey maitaima

CaptainAyub:
Hmm.
Very costly ooo.
Rent is very costly,Abuja houses are overpriced.
Food is relatively cheap when you buy and cook but if you enter restaurant, wetin you see,you take.
Things like clothes,drugs,provisions etc are also costly.
Govt schools are nice,of good quality and almost free.But if you carry your pikin go private school,it is very costly.
Transport is relatively cheap and smooth.
Overall, if you are not a big time businesswoman or man and the job you're doing isn't a type you can collect bribes,don't come.

Which transport is cheap. From jabi to wise is 200 naira. Abj get transport? Abi u wan pack yourself like sardine for el rufai bus. Abuja na cab or taxify if you wan enjoy transport and na ur money kill am

This remind me of my NYSC, for CDS I dey wear green jogger, big white T-shirts, army cap. Carry my cousin RX 330. Enter late, sign out and Go. Even my CDs codinator think say I be G guy. I come no dey talk any other for my CDS. If you see the kind respect dem dey me ehh. One guy way celebrate birthday DAT time for CDS, carry one Hennessey give me. Say me na big guy, I just carry the wine shake him hand comot. Fake life sweet true true, No wonder ppl dey live am

sometimes I dey wonder, e be like say this ppl dey use juju on top our head

Jaqenhghar:
Wallahi you guys are something else. See as you dey shift goal posts
First you said he is the first I brought out 2 Nigerians one of whicj has won it twice.
Yousaid they didnt use Nigerian music genre when did our talking drum become a foreign instrument?
You are now saying they are based in UK. Is the Burna boy not currently living in the UK? Does his music even sound Nigerian? He sounds like one of these mumble rappers and some of his songs sounds like reggae. Mr. Man believe whatever you want to believe Im done here.

baba I no go argue with you again. do you know what genre comprises of, it is style and beat. burna boy dey sings confirm Afro beat and Nigerian pattern, which one is mumble rap, u wan tell me DAT burna n future, migos dey sing d same style, are you high?. can't u differentiate between afro African hiphop and American hiphop style.
burna boy is naija home grown singer. wizkid, is he not base in USA?. but he is naija home grown singer. they are different from wale n jidenna DAT sings American pattern,becos dats where dey started dia music career. although dey do feature with home grown naija singers. you ppl keep on mentioning Nigerians in diaspora, dat have little or no knowledge about their root country.

Jaqenhghar:
Proove? What have you proven? Just because you say so doesnt mean it is proof.

See dumb argument abeg. Thise two I mentioned what genre did they use? In fact the category he won under is specifically for artists outside the US so what are you saying? If he had won best album outshining the US artists then you have a right to bray all you want.
Akon no get grammy even Elvis presley the king of rock never won a grammy, does that mean anything?
Like I said go and take a sit cos you sound very very naive

sorry the picture I post didn't upload, it was the picture of Sade Abu. A British with Nigerian roots.
u don't understand my argument oga. Nigerian DAT have won the Grammy are ppl DAT most spend most their life in aboard singing, most Nigerian don't even know they Nigerians self. burna Boy won the award singing Nigerian genre of songs. that is why ppl are praising him. (Nigerian genre I mean with pigin language, Afro beat, using ethnic language)

Jaqenhghar:
Please do some research before you embarrass yourself.

this is one for an example, tell me more names, let me prove to you, they spent most of the life singing aboard, which are citizen of, n they sing British/american genre of song.
burna won with Nigerian Genre of song, right from naija, that is y is loud. even Akon no get grammy upon say him dey sing american pattan. I no get time to argue with you

Jaqenhghar:
He is not the first.
Sikiru Adepoju and Babatunde Olatunji in 1991, won a Grammy award ‘Best World Music Album‘ category for their work in the album Planet Drum produced by Mickey Hart.

Another Nigerian in 2006, Olalekan Babalola, a jazz percussionist, won a Grammy for his work on Cassandra Wilson’s album titled Loverly. He went on to win another Grammy award in 2009, for his work on Ali Farka Toure’s In the Heart of the Moon album.

those ppl are British, dey just have Nigerian root

burna dey different, he win am from naija

Kriss216:
You're right. Don't you think there's no 5 star hotel in Nigeria

the only 5 star hotol in naija is eko Atlanta(Lagos) and trans cop Hilton (Abuja)
