The south had a head start during Obasanjo and GEJ. It's just now that Buhari recruited some northerners, south are dominant

Jokerman:
Except maybe Police, what other parastatal or agency in Nigeria are southerners more than Northerners?

There are more southerners working for federal government, agencies, parastatals etc and you know that!!

You just want to make noise!

Jokerman:
One of the reasons they are against Obi.

Almost all federal jobs in Nigeria has been colonised by the northerners. What the hell us this?

How can Nigeria prosper with all these sort of arrangement?

Lol the funniest part, is them thinking kwankwasso will share northern votes!!

No matter how we tried to telling them, the fools kept living in fantasy!!

Apart from Kano, kwankwasso didn't get 10% in any northern state, even in Jigawa that i was thinking he will perform good

Algrin:
The bedrock of their delusion 😁.

Still recovering

68816419:
Babachir Lawal swore to God that APC would come distance third and that average northerners would never leave their brother( Atiku) for a yoruba person(Tinubu).
My question here is, how comes Babachir Lawal got mutted?

They only hate chest beaters, noise makers and online billionaires

The owners of Lagos didnt make it

SadiqBabaSani:
Just read and pass obidients, ur.chins and their lords are not on this list why?

To be fair most states didn't get anything/much apart from Daura(which is understandble since its his LG and retiring home). Even Katsina as a whole didn't benefit anything

U had Saraki as SP, what did he do for u?


Most development are done by state governors

olasaad:
And my state get nothing from Buhari government despite that APC still won in Kwara and lost in Kastina isn't this funny.

Ai shegu ne en hasada da wahala! Basa son cigaban Arewa ko kodan

Forbes releases comprehensive 2023 world billionaire rankings as three Nigerians – Dangote, Rabiu, Adenuga, make the list

Forbes has released its comprehensive list of the world’s billionaires for 2023. The list, which came out Tuesday, April 4th, with 2460 individual billionaires globally, has a couple of surprises. This is more so since the last year has been full of falling stocks, wounded unicorns and rising interest rates which translated into a down year for many of the world’s richest people. The 25 richest people in the world are worth a collective $2.1 trillion, down a combined $200 billion from $2.3 trillion in 2022.

Luxury goods tycoon Bernard Arnault‘s net worth surged by $53 billion to $211billion dollars since last year, a bigger gain than anyone on the planet, to climb to the number one spot for the first time ever on the rise of share in his company, LVMH. The former world’s richest man, Elon Musk, slipped to second position after his worth was reduced by $ 39 billion due to his purchase of the social messaging g app, Twitter.

One of the surprises however is the rise of BUA Group chairman Abdul Samad Rabiu. From 7.6Billion Dollars a few months ago, the Billionaire businessman and philanthropist’s rating on the Forbes billionaires list has again shot up towering many to become the 249th richest person in the world and closing in on overtaking the third richest man in Africa, Nicky Oppenheimer who stands at 8.4billion Dollars. Rabiu’s latest worth is put at 8.2 billion dollars. From 1.6 billion Dollars in 2019, Forbes recorded that by 2022 his net worth was at 6.9 billion dollars and from there has jumped to 8.2 billion Dollars in April 2023.

62-year-old Abdul Samad Rabiu is essentially into cement and sugar as well as real estate and is building sub-saharan Africa’s second-largest refinery and petrochemicals plant in Akwa Ibom, Nigeria.

Meanwhile, Aliko Dangote has retained his position as the wealthiest person of African descent in the world. After climbing to 14 billion Dollars in 2022, his wealth is estimated to be around 14.2 billion Dollars as per the reports released on Tuesday, April 4, 2023.

He is presently the 125th richest man in the world and he is easily the largest cement producer in Africa. He also has his hands in other businesses including pastries, sugar and other areas of manufacturing.

For Mike Adenuga, the third Nigerian on the African billionaire’s list, the business has not been cosy. He dropped from 7.3 billion Dollars in 2022 to 6.1 billion dollars. The last couple of years has seen him move up and down the wealthiest’ scale. He’s now the 418th richest in the world at 58.

These are the only three Nigerians that made the list.

One other surprise name on the list however is 90-yr old Nathan Kirsh from the tiny African Country of Swaziland. He is said to be worth 6.5 billion dollars, thus becoming the 6th ranked African billionaire, now above Mike Adenuga. He is believed to be into real estate retail and fashion.

It was the first time he would be featured as an African billionaire.

Methodology: According to Forbes, their ‘World’s Billionaires list is a snapshot of wealth using stock prices and exchange rates from March 10, 2023. Some people become richer or poorer within days of publication. We list individuals rather than multigenerational families who share fortunes, though we include wealth belonging to a billionaire’s spouse and children if that person is the founder of the fortune’.

‘For non-founders, we previously listed couples and family members together in certain cases; this year, we separated these shared fortunes into individual list members, marked “split family fortune.” For Russian billionaires, fortunes were calculated using ownership structures from February 2022, prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and before many made transfers of assets to managers, friends and others in an effort to protect their holdings from sanctions’.

‘We value a variety of assets, including private companies, real estate, art and more. We don’t pretend to know each billionaire’s private balance sheet (though some provide it). When documentation isn’t supplied or available, we discount fortunes.

Are all those projects listed true?

Mantahirdra:
Point of correction : Dualisation of Kano to Kongolom Road not Daura to Katsina .

And you forgot Federal Medical center Daura .


Local Airport and International Stadium is Coming.

Ameachi and tonye Cole did anti party by supporting Atiku against Tinubu. He should ask Atiku to help him out

Nonny95:
Tonye Cole the APC guber candidate in Rivers State is crying for help! Tinubu/Shettima ignored him, is it because he's a Christian and from the SS?

We know Tinubu/Shettima hesitated in going to the SE and SS for campaign because they think it was a waste of time and money.

We all can see how they are fighting for Binani to win Adamawa.

Nyamuri flat.heads went to develop Malaysia, India etc leaving their states behind

I'm still sticking around, I have developed a thick skin and gotten over it! I believe it's fear that is making them frustrate us

This forum is a good source of information, I have learnt a lot from here. But I believe seun can do more, it has a lot of potential it has not explore

omonnakoda:
The message is the Northerner s do not matter and some peop!e are allowed to get away with insults. You must not give up we need the Northerner s o. The forum and we definitely should have moderators from the North

They want the perception of the north to remain how it is portrayed in the media as illiterates, backwards and uncivilized. They hate the fact that the north is progressing and developing in a fast past, they don't want us to debunk all the lies and how our achievements!

The era where we were not on social media to defend ourselves against propaganda, lies and misinformation, is gradually phasing out! that's why they desperate to keep our voice down by frustrating us

I remember the year 2019 to 2021, we were giving those foolish Igbo hot hot and back to back on this forum, before all of a sudden northern monikers started disappearing one by one!

the north has power, agriculture and Oil now. Nobody can stop us!

Raheeqilmaktoom:
There are the usual suspects, just mention 'north' and they will be all over, gloating. Fake news merchants, whose life work is just finding someone they can pick on. The obsession is real yet, we shouldn't talk about it, infact, we should embrace and smile, after all, they have it worse, the northerner is being fed, clothed and given fuel and tfare as offering from heaven.

Lol this is my 5th account, all the previous ones have been banned for simply replying insults in the same manner as dished out! Our comments are constantly being deleted and hidden

If I create a thread now on "why are northerners target", it will be deleted in few minutes(it has happened many times). There are times I think twice before replying a comment so I won't get banned

There are northerners in this forum but the reason u think we are secretive, is because. Some have got tired of the treatment and left, some are banned and those that barely comment

I use to get angry, but I'm not anymore, because I believe the mods are cowards and afraid to give us a voice and level playing ground.

How can you explain a forum that is public, and an interactive avenue to connect other people aroun the country not even have 1 core northerner as a moderator?

frankyychiji:
And your own dey Saudi Arabia prison.

The rate at which you all wail in this platform is sickening. Did you create any thread about those places that were true and original and they didn't push it to FP?

Northerners are very clannish and secretive, that's why it looks like Nigeria starts and ends in the south.

They prefer their Arewa Twitter to any other news channel in Nigeria especially.

Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) is embroiled in a fresh crisis over the secret recruitment of more than 400 new employees without recourse to extant guidelines such as advertisements in national dailies to enable all interested Nigerians to apply.

A senior staff of NPA who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of victimization reveals that the recruitment was done “hush- hush” by the Managing Director, Mohammed Bello-Koko in contravention of the due process for conducting recruitments into Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) as established by the Federal Government.

The staff said an induction ceremony was also held “secretly” for the new employees at the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON) from January 25 to February 1, 2023.

Recently, the Federal Character Commission (FCC) warned MDAs against flouting laid-down guidelines for recruitment into government establishments.

Part of the guidelines stipulates that all vacancies in MDAs shall be advertised in at least two newspapers circulating nationally, giving prospective candidates a minimum of six weeks within which to apply.

There have also been questions about the placement of the new NPA employees on various grade levels, which was said to run foul of laid down procedures.

Mohammed Bello-Koko was appointed Acting Managing Director of NPA and named the substantive Managing Director of the agency on February 15, 2022.
