Amarabae:
While the Nigeria media space was celebrating Anambra peaceful election and mourning a great elderstateman Dr Alex Ekwueme, A controversial oral bombshell exploded from the mouth of the newly re-elected governor of Anambra state, Willie Obiano.
I was vividly disappointed by the obiano remark that Anambraians built Lagos, its undiplomatic,inflammatory,and divisive.
Issues like this can set us up against our hosts.
The Question of who developed Lagos can be examined down briefly below.
Lagos a Yoruba state started seeing some developement right from the days of the colonial era,
Its development rose when it served as the capital of Nigeria,the Federal Government pumped a lot of money in some infrastructure in the state,
After she lost her capital status to Abuja,the modern Lagos continued to grow and it is the melting point of all ethnic groups in Nigeria who are in the state.
Taxes generated from industries,factories,business centers etc is the source of IGR of the state.
Bragging about Igbos developing Lagos makes us look stupid before the world for some reasons.
Its time we Ndigbo show the world our own Lagos instead of salivating on another person property.

Aba or Onitsha are two Igbo cities that we can develop like Lagos if we have visionary leaders.

So why the controversy?
Careless remarks like that of Obiano arm our host against us,
Lack of diplomacy should not be a weak point to us,
That statement by obiano portray us as Land grabbers which in reality we are not.
I am not ashamed to say it that despite awolowo £20pounds saga, Lagos provided the platform by which some Igbos regained themselves economically after the war,
So why the unnecessary provoking?

Igbos should think home now for investment, there is no pride in bragging about developing another man's land and leaving your own to rot.
Enough of this controversy,Lagos is a Yoruba state and remains so.
We can build our Igbo cities and towns to international standard and stop this unnecessary "Lagos and no man's land" jibe.
Thank you.

If you werent stupid, you would have seen that the whole article were laced with bare faced lies, unfairness and unethical reporting by thisday newspaper. No effort was made to balance the report, not even a call the ONFGZ or its chairman to hear their own view....

just wasted my time with another brainwashed pained ipob/pdp yoot.

NgeneUkwenu:
PDP sponsored article to maligned Umana Umana....

Nigeria is not a banana republic...if you cannot stand the rules and feel you can blackmail the govt using job loss propaganda...it wont work.

This is no longer PDP/Jonathan time, when stealing was not corruption...Every kobo due to the govt must be paid into its coffer..or you pack and leave the scene for genuine investors to come in.

It was a very bad move by OGFZA, which was set up to promote trade and attract investors into the country through the oil and gas free zones concept. OGFZA, under Umana Okon Umana are doing the direct opposite of what it was established to do

Blue3k:
This is terrible news. We need to remedy this situation. The government idiotic actions harming economy with flip flopping if this news is true.

ProWalker:
You can’t get referendum by election boycott as long as there are still millions of Igbos living in other parts of Nigeria and are exercising their voting rights. How this simple things fly over your heads down there amuse me

Jupxter:
We can't do without the engineers brov, please modify the topic and include engineers, we need engineers in fabrication and production processes, so regardless of fields, they are mandatory !

stephenmorris:
this is better than previous administration sha

Sent an international text msge and was billed N50. Thats d last text im sending on their thieving network. Bastards!

ifex370:
He wasn't power drunk.. He died protecting his people's interest..

He had thousands of opportunities to leave the country..

But he knew staying there was the only way to keep / put things together..

He was actually preventing the savage Americans and their army from taking over..while waiting for his Arab brothers to offer a helping hand.. But they turned their back on him when he needed them the most...

Now look at where Libya is today... A waste land..

Amarabae:
If he is not.
The Nigeria Medical Association would have exposed him.
BTW let's forget nwoye. He will lose.

Zonacom:
Even in Kanu's absence, IPOB is still feared. These contestants really made me laugh. See solidarity

naptu2:
It's Obaze's turn to attack and he's doing it very intelligently.

Amarabae:
lols.
Obaze is a United Nation diplomat.
Very brainy man but I just hate the way he is allowing Obi do the campaign for him and him being in his shadow.
Will he win?
Don't know, tho obiano looks like the favorite.

Ajibel:
Osita Chidoke talking of programmers and exporting coders. This got me smiling.

Obi1kenobi:
Obiano has been the worst debate performer by far. No articulacy, constantly bleating "erm.....erm", making up fake statistics with no backing and completely evading the questions he was asked. The moderator, Seun, fuccked up by allowing him to keep rambling.

Chidoka and Obaze look the most capable debaters. Well refined and polished and eloquent.

Tony Nwoye speaks like a tout and he looks like the typical career politician who is in it for he and his cronies' enrichment.

Ezeemo shouldn't have been invited. He doesn't have a base and distracts us from listening to the real players.

xdos:
The camera or photographer may have added some coloration to it. Beautiful captures btw.

Nuhvey:
Well, from d manga, its kinda implied that wen u kill an otsutsuki, u get a curse mark. Well, we'll have to wait for d momoshiki arc... Anyways, nice personal text.. I think dat was by Pein right?

Jesus.....Now i have more resons to hate mosquitoes

Feraz, sorry for my late response. I am currently at Odukpani power plant conducting some test on their units.
Concerning the question, I have seen very true responses from some gentlemen. I didnt pick their names.
Reason we dont have power in Nigeria. First, the govt regulatory agencies e.g. NERC are not living up to their responsibilities.
They are not puting pressure on the DISCOs to meter their customers and also upgrade their hardwares. Hence the reason for load rejection and power outages. Here in Calabar, five units are available but there are only two producing energy and the grid frequency is 50.46hz which is quite high. Infact they had 3 on the grid but they were told to shutdown one because of high frequency. And I am very sure a lot of homes in Calabar do not have light at the moment.

Secondly, the law that states that energy generated must pass through our dilapidated grid system also is another reason. The grid is not capable of carrying all the energy generated. Our country needs to embrace the smart grid solution. If this is handled, I see a powerboom.
The FG managing power generation, transmission and distribution is another reason we dont have power. The FG has no business managing power. They should allow the states handle it.
Let me drop my pen here...

Nuhvey:
I guess that would b d otsusuki kawaki will defeat and get his cursed mark.. Just like Boruto defeated Momoshiki and got his own cursed mark... Can't wait to see d powers of those marks

AlmiqhteeAllah:
Lol. I don't think anyone can break free from the Infinite Tsukuyomi, though. They're rendered impotent the moment they get caught. There's no breaking free.

True. America is a bully. Konoha is not.

You're correct. A President like Hashirama would have been a treasure!

A worm with devil horns? Some sort of elaborate pasta creation? A vaguely nefarious tropical flower?

None of the above. This image, recently circulating on Reddit, is actually a mosquito's foot.

In a post on Reddit that garnered more than 32,000 upvotes, the photo doesn't come with much more backstory than that. But the image is actually from a scanning electron microscope made by photographer Steve Gschmeissner. It was shortlisted in the 2016 Royal Photography Society International Images for Science contest. It's been reposted around the web quite a bit since then, Gschmeissner told Live Science, possibly because of its unexpected complexity.

The image shows the end of a mosquito's leg, including a claw, scales and the pulvillus, a pad with adhesive hairs. According to Gschmeissner's photo description, these scales dot the entire bodies of mosquitos but are particularly dense near the foot, and may help protect the limb and enable the mosquito to land on water, where these insects lay their eggs.

"Insects are fantastic for that because they have all this sort of fine microscopic details," Gschmeissner said.

Lacking the charm of Mona Lisa’s smile and bringing to mind a vision of Salvador Dalí’s mustache on an extremely bad trip, this gruesome photo that’s been gaining steam on the internet teaches a valuable lesson about the natural world: Nature is, indeed, scary.

The image was an entry in the 2016 Royal Photography Society International Images for Science contest, and more recently came to light through the website Reddit. The picture is a mosquito's foot at 800x magnification.

The photo did not win the contest, however. The five images that were selected included this stunning micrograph—a photograph taken by microscope—of the head of a tapeworm. This picture is definitely also just an insect and not all of your darkest nightmares made visually manifest on camera.

As terrifying as the mosquito leg picture looks up close, it’s a clear visual demonstration of all the things that allow the mosquitos to do what they do. Mosquitoes have small hooks along their legs that allow them to latch on to skin, and hairy pads that allow them to adhere to walls. Up close, it’s not so surprising that these features look like the teeth and tongues of some kind of demon hydra.

Live Science spoke with Steve Gschmeissner, the man who took these photos—a retired zoologist who has turned to taking images by scanning-electron microscopy full time.

"Insects are fantastic for that because they have all this sort of fine microscopic details," Gschmeissner told Live Science. “When you first put something in a microscope, you are never really sure what you're going to see.”

don't you think it will be strange if the other guy is stronger than momoshiki? cause that momoshiki guy was a cheat. he was very strong

AlmiqhteeAllah:
I could remember the moment Johnydon22, Teempakguy, SirWere and Cloudgoddess became less active, the Science Section became ghost town!

Thanks for trying to revive it, AgentOfAllah. This shoud be interesting.

I know you're a genius in the field of Physics [definitely encompassing Astronomy and Cosmology, and some interdisciplinary branches too, I presume]. There's this Science Section Library started by Johnydon22 but abandoned along the way. Can you carry on with it? I know you do not have much time for nairaland, so it's okay if you can't. I'm just fascinated by the idea.

AlmiqhteeAllah:
This is true. You're on point. Although, I'm more sympathetic towards Madara/Nagato/Obito's stance than I am to the idealism of the ones who carry the Will of Fire, I see your point.

If Konohagakure is the America of the Narutoverse, Kumogakure should be the Russia. Or, what do you think, bro?

Those swordsmen in boruto were kids brah, give boruto time e go make sense.
