Politics › Re: Falling Oil Prices Threaten My Agenda — Buhari by FOREXMARTS: 12:58pm On Apr 30, 2015 |
Bevista: GMB was addressing NASS members during their induction course, where he mentioned 8 challenges that his administration will face on assumption of office. These include Falling oil prices, Insecurity, Youth Unemployment, Power, De-industrialization, Environmental Pollution in ND, Rebuilding of ravaged NE, etc.
Typically, though, the media has singled out Falling Oil Price so as to create a sensational headline. Baba is not making any excuses, he was simply being pragmatic and calling on the Legislature to join/support the Executive as developmental partners to tackle these 8 challenges.
GMB simply highlighted Challenges, something every corporate leader (whether in private business or public service) does. You need to be objective about the issues, so you can come up with the right strategies to tackle them. I'm sure most of you will learn this as you become leaders.
Stop commenting based on headlines, please always read the body of the article. I still believe GMB/APC administration (with $60 oil price) will be miles ahead of GEJ/PDP administrion (with $110 oil price). Many times he said it, many times we heard. Once you start singing it then it becomes an excuse. You don't assume a position to lounge. You assume a position to face challenges and fix them, we have heard. Compare these two sentences and tell me which one sounds more encouraging. A. I became a captain of this ship meeting it in a terrible state with so many problems and so far and the resource to fix it is scarce my people. They are many challenges and resources are scarce but we will try, nothing is assured. B. We all know that this ship is in a terrible state, we will not let it sink, we have to give it our all together as a team we will fix this ship, we must cos the success of this journey depends on this ship, in the face of scarce resources to fix it we all must be smart and innovative, together as a team we shall conquer this mess. We must. |

CHAIRMAN1: Another day another excuse from baba one chance... The man just dey wake up. This one chance manifesto flipping Daura magician is not serious. The oil price has been dwindling before you were chosen as the flag bearer, it was dwindling when you made the promises so you got no excuse. You made these promises in the middle of the oil crises meaning you had an idea and knew you could handle it so quit giving us excuses damn it. I have read more than 5 threads with different excuses since he won the election. Nigerians will not take it. Yes I am an apc member but this excuses are annoying. |

Politics › Re: Off-loading The Presidential Fleet by FOREXMARTS: 10:59am On Apr 29, 2015 |
Kaybaba5: UNTIL 1999, the presidential fleet was under the control and supervision of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF). Before 1999, senior Air Force officers in their grey upon blue well-ironed uniforms were seen on the 11th floor of Federal Secretariat, which was then the office of the SGF, hanging around. But in June 1999, former President Olusegun Obasanjo transferred the fleet to be part of the schedule of the Chief of Staff to the President.
The argument was that the Chief of Staff, being conversant with the President’s itinerary, is in a better position to control the fleet adequately. I understand that the fleet is now under my friend, Col. Sabo Dasuki (rtd.), the National Security Adviser (NSA) whose loyalty and patriotism are never in doubt. Before 1999, the fleet was almost dormant for lack of use.
General Ibrahim Babangida (72) hardly travels outside the country, except to visit some states and Chief Ernest Oladeinde Adegunle Shonekan (79) whose tenure lasted less than 100 days, made use of the fleet only once when he attended the Commonwealth conference outside Nigeria. The second time he used the fleet was when he was overthrown and brought down to Lagos in company of Chief Dapo Sarumi.
General Sani Abacha hardly travelled outside Abuja, in fact during his era, pilots attached to the presidential fleet complained of under-utilisation, raising fears that they might lose their licences for not flying enough. In 1997, he made only five trips outside Abuja; in 1998, he made three trips, the fourth would have taken him to Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso on June 8, 1998 for the African Union Conference, the very day that he died.
General Abdusalam Abubakar, who spent less than 11 months in office, was too busy with his transition programme that he hardly travelled. He made four trips during his era, two to Niger Delta to inspect the oil spillage in that area. As for President Olusegun Okikiola Obasanjo, the Jagunmolu of Egbaland, he was a flying President. Even till today, when the presidential fleet is outside his control, he is still flying around the world. He loves to fly. That is the way he is. And the pilots attached to the presidential fleet loved him for that.
The presidential fleet still remains today the most important posting in the Nigerian Air Force. For example, the present Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshall Alex Sabundu Badeh, was a product of the Presidential Fleet, as he flew former Vice President Atiku Abubakar between 1999 and 2007 severally. Even the present Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola Nunayun Amosu, was a product of the Presidential Air Fleet too. The Fleet has one of the largest aircraft in the world in comparison to other countries.
The British Prime Minister has no presidential aircraft. Members of the British government charter either British Airways or Virgin Atlantic most times. The government of Tunisia operates a Boeing 737 BBJ. An Airbus A340-500 has also been purchased and VIP-configured, but was never used for travel and has been stored since the 2011 revolution that ousted former dictator, Ben Ali. The Tunisian government is reportedly trying to sell both aircraft.
The government of Algeria operates an Airbus A340-500. The Chief Executive of Hong Kong travels on commercial aircraft, usually operated by Cathay Pacific. He travels with helicopters operated by the Government Flying Service. The Ivoirien government uses a Gulf IV as a VIP aircraft. A government Boeing 727-200WGL is also in service.
The State of Israel does not currently possess a specific jet for use of its Head of State. Wherever the current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flies long distances (out of the country), the government leases an airliner from the state airline, El Al. Meanwhile, the President, Reuvin Rivlin, and other high-ranking dignitaries are relegated to El Al first class commercial service. As of 2014, the Knesset is considering the purchase of such an airplane dubbed ‘Israeli Air Force One’.
Kenya’s President has a Fokker 70 for use as the presidential jet. Fokker executive plane was purchased at a cost of $50 million. The 70-seater jet was reconfigured into telecommunications facilities. Prior to the purchase of the Fokker, the Kenya President primarily used Airways for his international travel.
The Saudi Arabian Royal Flight operates a Boeing 747-300 and a Boeing 747-400 for use by the King of Saudi Arabia. The President, Prime Minister of Singapore and government officials typically travel on regular scheduled commercial flights run by Singapore Airlines. However, on rare occasions or short trips, government officials may travel on one of the few passenger-configured Fokker-50 operated by the Republic of Singapore Air Force.
The President of South Africa travels in a Boeing 737 (BBJ) operated by the South African Air Force’s 21 Squadron, which is based at AFB Waterkloof near Pretoria; the executive capital, i.e. the seat of the executive branch of the South African government.
The 21 Squadron also operates a fleet of two Falcon 50 and a Falcon 900B Fleet, 550/1 Citation 2, and a Global Express XRS is hired to escort the President on long flights as a back-up aircraft. The Falcon 900 is normally used by the Deputy President and high-ranking cabinet ministers.
The President of Zimbabwe travels in a charted Air Zimbabwe Boeing 767-200ER aircraft, which is part of the national airline’s fleet. Occasionally, the President will share the plane with commercial passengers on scheduled flights. The Tanzania Government Flight Agency operates a Gulfstream G550 for VIP transports. There are two other VIP aircraft – a Fokker F-50 and F-28 for internal and regional destinations as well.
The President of Ghana flies on a Falcon EX 900 jet. The Botswana Defence Force operated a Gulfstream IV transport, but has since been sold and the Botswana Defence Force now operates a Global Express OK1. The government of Burkina Faso uses a special Boeing 727. A Falcon 900 has been added, and it is the type frequently in use now.
The Egyptian government operates an Airbus A340-200 as a VIP transport. The first presidential airplane was given as a gift from Saudi Arabia to Egypt.
The Pope is one of the richest and famous men on earth. He is the Head of the Catholic Church that has followership all over the world. Typically, the Pope flies on a chartered Alitalia fixed-wing aircraft when travelling to or from more distant destinations. Traditional protocol dictates that a Pope flies to a country he is visiting on a chartered Alitalia jet and to return on a jet belonging to a flag carrier from the visited nation; this may vary when he is touring multiple nations.
The Nigerian Presidential Air fleet is being maintained by over 10 billion Naira budget yearly. Poor states like Osun, Gombe, Ebonyi, Ekiti get less than two billion Naira every month from the Federal Revenue Mobilisation and Fiscal Commission as allocation. The presidential fleet is the third largest aircraft fleet in the country, coming behind Arik, which has 22, and Aero Contractors, which has 14. The Presidential Air fleet has 10 aircraft. They include two Falcon 7X jets, two Falcon 900 jets, Gulfstream 550,one Boeing 737 BBJ (Nigerian Air Force 001 or Eagle One), Gulfstream IVSP. Others are one Gulfstream V, Cessna Citation 2 aircraft and Hawk Siddley 125-800 jet.
Each of the two Falcon 7X jets purchased in 2010 cost $51.1m, while the Gulfstream 550 costs $53.3m. However, airline CEOs put the average price of Falcon 900 at $35m, Gulfstream IVSP at $40m, Gulfstream V at $45m, Boeing 737 BBJ at $58m; Cessna Citation is $7m and Hawker Siddley 125-800 at $125-800 at $15m.
The question before us is, can we maintain the Presidential Air fleet in the face of our dwindling economy? The answer is no. The alternative is to sell some of the aircraft so as to reduce cost. It is even cheaper to charter planes for some of our top officials than to maintain the Presidential Air fleet as it is now.
The other angle is to let the Nigerian Air Force face other challenges, instead of the present rivalry among senior officers over postings to the presidential air fleet. I think we have many projects to tackle, besides the temporary comfort of our leaders. All these are for the consideration of the in-coming government of Major-General (rtd.) Muhammadu Buhari.
In his Essays of Innovation, Francis Bacon wrote: “And he that will not apply New Remedies must expect New evil; for time is the greatest innovator.”

Where is the National
Association of Nigerian
Students (NANS)
Leadership?
By
Carlisle U.O. Umunnah
New York City
cuu1_liberties@yahoo.com
With recent developments
jarring in our faces in the
homeland, Nigeria and
disturbingly its citizens in
the Nigerian-Diaspora-
communities around the
world are wondering on
what the way forward is for
the enterprise. It is
stunning to state the
obvious, that nothing to
the best of my knowledge,
in recent memory, has
been heard from the NANS
in the “democratization”
process that is currently
taking root in Nigeria. The
hard question asked,
therefore, is where is NANS
Nigeria and its leadership?
In the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s,
and 60s, and down to 90s,
NANS was organizationally
and operationally effective,
efficient to the core, and,
was the most feared and
respected entity within the
Nigerian body polity. When
it comes to mobilization
operations against
societal-ills, military
tyranny, national
challenges, capacity
building and capacity
retentions programming[s],
NANS, is indefensibly a
force to you can count.
Additionally, within the
Nigerian civil society
community, internationally
and domestically, you
cannot do without NANS
organization and its
operational mobilization
grid-lock. I am afraid,
things seems to be on a
downward spiral if not
total collapse.
According to records, for
example, under the British
Colonial rule, its
fraudulent Constitutional
amendments of the 20s,
40s, and 50s were
respectively challenged by
the Nigerian Students
Union organization or
Government, at the tertiary
institutions -including
colleges, poly-techniques,
at the Federal and States
level respectively, it also
partnered with its familiar
overseas operational grid-
lock on Foreign affairs. As
it were, its nomenclature
was known as NUNS,
meaning National Union of
Nigerian Students, which,
after it was proscribed or
banned by Shehu Shargari
Administration in the 80s
under former Minister of
Education, Ali, changed its
name to NANS. Under Ali
Must Go Campaign, NANS
was the mobilization-
nerve-center and
conscience of the nation.
NANS, The National
Association of Nigerian
Students, in collaboration
with local Students Union
Governments [SUGs] was
ubiquitously in any
national matters as affects
Nigerian masses. Make no
mistakes, when it sneeze
the nations catches cool.
The dispensation of late
Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe
through the NCNC and his
West African Plot, in
partnership, to some
degree with late Chief
Obafemi Owolowo, leader
of Action Group [AG],
Aminu Kano, Peoples
Progressive, and others
organized vehemently and
fearlessly confronted and
expelled the colonial
regime in 1960. The
actions of these great
compatriots changed
Nigeria political landscape
in that era. In Ghana was
the icon, late Kwame
Nkrumah, in South African
countries, Nelson Mandela,
Kenneth Kaunda, Robert
Mugabe and others - all
Pan-Africans pulled
resources together to free
their countries from
foreign dominance and
control.
In London for example, the
likes of Asiodu, Emeka
Ojukwu and others had a-
significant impart
articulating for a free
society within the nation’s
polity. In 1963, Nigerian
became a Republic freeing
itself from Privy Council I
London, terminating Head
State status of Queen
Elizabeth from its palace
in Britain. Thereafter,
Nigeria, under Tafawa
Belewa – Prime Minister, in
secretive chauvinistic
machinations wanted to
sign a military technical-
pact with London, NUNS
defeated that move
through massive protest
across the land.
Fundamentally speaking,
NUNS operat ions was
unison, the NUNS
leadership records of the
60s, show the likes of Sir
GTG Toby and Echerue –
all UNN trained were
among the leadership that
rejected the military pact.
Under the military
authoritarianism from the
80s came with it
challenges and difficulties,
with its constraints, NANS,
was there unfettered,
confronted these national
challenges unequivocally.
This it did regardless
military tactics of illegal
massive arrests, massive
secrete killings, massive
secrete tortures, massive
disappearances, and heavy
handedness across the
Republic. Yet, NANS
remained action parked,
equal to these tasks,
difficulties.
NANS of course would be
totally weak, ineffective
without its local SUGs. The
likes of Ogagaoghene
Emerotowho Ifowodo and
co at UNIBEN, the late
Chima Ubani [May his soul
rest in peace, Amen] and
co at UNN and others
operationally managed the
Students Union
secretariats in their
respective premier
institutions. Ile-Ife,
Ibadan, UNILAG, ABU with
their local leaderships was
no no-nonsense platform
for corruption and
culpabilities.
When Ibrahim Babangida,
annulled the June 12
elections presumably
believed won by MKO
Abiola, in addition to
other criminal decrees,
NANS leadership met at
Ekpoma State University in
former Bendel State, sat
and deliberated at the
Senate meeting; it swiftly
rolled out two weeks
directives to the fed,
demanding that
Babangida/Abacha regime
de-annulled the June 12,
1993, Presidential
elections or NANS will
make it ungovernable for
their military
totalitarianism. Then came
the petrol hick by Abacha
regime, NANS and human
rights community, civil
society and patriotic
Nigerians, market women,
old peoples massively
protested Abacha’s regime
that illegally took over
from illegal Babangida’s
puppet - Interim-
Government led by
Shonekon. NANS
responded accordingly.
As it were, across the land,
NANS, in collaboration with
local Student Union
leaderships, at federal and
states level, confronted
Abacha’s illegal regime. At
the national level NANS
led by, Dennis Inyang, as
President, NANS with its
Ad-hoc mobilization team,
mobilized itself, mobilized
the nation and confronted
the military
authoritarianism and
totalitarianism under late
Abacha’s regime. NANS
questioned the late
Abacha’s illegitimate-
criminal decrees, and
other illegalities including
massive corruption[s] at all
level, while our people
suffered and continued to
suffer.
Conversely, in UNILAG,
under Omoyele Sowore,
President, UNILAG
partnered with LASU, and
effectively mobilized Lagos
and its environs. This was
the case across the
country; ABU, Ibadan,
UNICAL, FUTO, IMOSU, and
Port Harcourt were on high
alert.
At UNIBEN [NANS HQRS for
National Mobilizations;
NANS Chief Mobilization
Officer [CMO], under
severe military infiltration
of its campuses, responded
– also during mobilization
operations, this
operational mobilization
nervous center also, served
as base for Zone B
Mobilization Chairman,
Fetus Ukejeh.
DSU, UNIJOS, and others
brought the Republic to a
stand still, called it to
order, pleaded, and
demanded for
accountability and
responsibility and respect
for the rule of law and
respect for the
constitution; NANS also
demanded that the
country allow the
presumably, winner of the
June 12 election, MKO
Abiola, to govern according
to the will of the people
as displayed on June 12.
By 1995, NANS had a new
fledging leadership, led by
Ogunlana Oludare, which
maintained all
actionability.
The reason the writer is
expanding on this political
trajectory is because we
have not heard from NANS
since 2000 or so, and I am
forced to ask hard
questions as to the status
of NANS and local students
Union in Nigeria.
Of particularity, is, the
recent grave and sad
events this past weekend,
everyday the suffering of
Nigerian-masses is
increasing, there is no end
in sight and there is no
specifics recourse in
respect to planning and
effective leadership in the
land. NANS has not sent
condolence letter to the
Nigerian masses and its
government on the recent
grave air disaster. I stand
to be corrected. And my
question is why?
A plane crash with a
staggering 117 persons’ on
board perished. Then the
passing away of President
Obasanjo’s wife, First Lady,
Stella Obasanjo, in Spain’s
hospital and, a student of
Nigerian decent, Olamide
Adeyooye a senior in
University here in the
United States, her body
was found burned-out in
chicken house in
Mississippi, while missing
in Illinois State, are very
disturbing circumstances
and no word from NANS.
Shame.
May their precious souls
rest in perfect peace and
may their families find the
fortitude and strengths
from God, to bear the
irreparable loss, Amen.
These and many other
disturbing jarring
circumstances, and there
is neither communiqué
from NANS nor anything
from the local Students
Union Government [SUGs]
in this whole enterprise –
Nigeria.
Let there be no confusion,
make no mistakes, we put
squarely these incidents at
the feet of the current
administration for failing
to effectively plan,
effectively response to
these incidences in a
timely manner; and the
lack of appropriate
appropriations of resource
allocation of national
resources at the right
urgent and immediate
needs of Nigeria is
appalling, for example
depleting infrastructures
like, roads, clean water,
equipped hospitals and
others makes it even
troubling to comprehend.
It is a shame.
Lives could have been
saved if our hospitals were
refurbished and equipped,
life of late comrade Chima
Ubani could have been

FOREXMARTS: 1.18 trillion naira for transportation. They must have exported the commodities in gold plated diamond studded oil tankers. But seriously what is NANS doing? If there is any group with the rallying power in any nation it's the student union. They aren't only supposed to demonstrate when it affects them directly. We are talking 1.18 trillion naira worth of theft and it's just a tip of the iceberg. NANS should send a memo round all universities and start a freeeking protest. Push for a probe and adequate punishment. Take an example from other students union around the world , The most recent one in Hong Kong. You are the leaders of tomorrow, you have a union, you have the numbers, don't allow these freeks take our money. Honestly students don't know the power they wield. Am really pissed, forgive me but yall need to sit the fuckkkkkk up NANS, excuse my French emotion. |

Islie: Press statement from the PDP on AIT ban, which the APC has since lifted.. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described as unacceptable the Monday’s directive by the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari to bar a television house, the AIT, from covering his activities, saying the suppression of the media under any guise portends danger for the nation’s democracy. PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh in a statement on Tuesday said that after carefully studying the defence posited by General Buhari’s campaign spokesperson as well as the smokescreen statement by the APC to cover and mitigate his anti-media posture, the PDP and indeed all lovers of democracy are persuaded that the action was not only unjustifiable, but also unconstitutional and completely against the spirit of liberty and the rule of law in a democracy.
He said “the PDP as a party that have nurtured the nation’s democracy in the past 16 years cannot afford to fold its hands and watch the constitutional rights, media freedom and personal liberty of Nigerians, the basic tenets of democracy being demolished.
“We ask, is this a beginning of the feared erosion of the freedom and personal liberty the media and Nigerian citizens have been enjoying in the last 16 years under the PDP led-administration? Has our dear nation finally fallen into the clutches of totalitarianism and impunity where government actions will based on egocentric decisions and impulses of individuals rather than the rule of law?
“While we assure the President-elect of our resolve to run a mature and responsible opposition based on issues, we are disturbed by this emerging development and reassure the Nigerian people that we will continue to stand with them on issues of democracy and freedom at all times.
“Perhaps, we need to remind General Buhari that part of the challenge of his new position, even as President-elect is that he has lost his private life which is now subject to public scrutiny and media interrogation, as required of the custodian of the mandate of the Nigerian people.
“The PDP is not oblivious of the background of the President-elect especially as it relates to the freedom of the media, but we had thought that having declared to be a converted democrat, he would make himself amenable to the basic principles of democracy by following the due process of the law on any circumstance.
“General Buhari may also wish to be reminded that the Nigerian constitution upon which provisions he emerged President-elect, also gave the media powers to cover activities of public office holders while at the same time providing legal avenues for redress in the event of any violation. If the right of the President-elect was in anyway violated by the AIT or any media house for that matter, he is expected to act within the law and seek redress in the courts otherwise one would have no option than to conclude that he is out for personal vendetta.
“The APC and the President-elect may have one or two lessons to pick from President Goodluck Jonathan, who though the most maligned and abused President in the history of our nation, even by the APC, allowed his actions to be sufficiently guided by humility, tolerance and the rule of law”, the PDP said.
The party called on Nigerians not to despair but remain steadfast and unite in resisting any anti-democratic tendencies intended to instill fear in them and set the stage for a dictatorial order and the erosion of their personal freedom and liberty as citizens, which they have been enjoying in the last 16 years under the PDP.
Signed: Olisa Metuh National Publicity Secretary This new opposition office go sweet die. While they keep the government on their toes, the masses will enjoy development, and it's not like the opposition are saints tho. These squabbles needs to continue so that the masses benefit.

This man's statements transforms per time, this is the ultimate Daura transformer. #General Optimus Prime #Baba one chance #Daura magician #DAURA TRANSFORMER |

ezeagu: The Boko Haram he created has now passed his hand, it is now in the hands of the international terrorist group ISIS. He was not this vocal about them before. He probably tried to subdue them now he's elected and failed.
Once a dictator. The cancer they started to mess up the government of the federation is now biting hard on em. "if you sorry fi maga dog, him a go turn round bite yuh"-Peter Tosh... Exactly what's happening. The boko haram sympathisers now wanna kick em out. Lots of things to learn from reggae music lol. #SAIBABAONECHANCE #SAIDAURAMAGICIAN #SAIMANIFESTOTRANSFORMER |

dirtymoney: APC promised 3 million jobs annually if elected into power during their campaign... PDP is trying to help out with the recruitment exercise of a ew thousands at no cost and they are crying a river. How then are we suppose to believe the 3 million per year thing?
The way the APC are throwing threats up and down... I hope they don't turn the country into another '' talk and get arrested'' territory... i don't know about the privatization aspect but for the employment aspect it is weired that they are complaining when they already promised Nigerians millions of jobs, pdp is just helping them set that ball rolling or was the job promise part of the campaign gimmick too? I guess they had no real plans to crate jobs. #one chance. |

illiad1: http://www.punchng.com/news/gunmen-kill-10-in-benue-village/ They will succeed in increasing the hatred Nigerians will have for Buhari. He hasn't been sworn in yet and these miyetti fuckkkers are abusing the power he has gotten. This is the true definition of one chance. If a fulani herds man now knows how to corck a gun and shoot then the elites must be behind this. #one chance. |

babyfaceafrica: Every state has a nice place for your to live on...the most important thing is do you have the money? If bill gate lived in zamfara ,it will become a paradise...this places some of us are mentioning naw,some people developed it to make it what it is,let's all go back to our state of origin and develop it to our taste...there is no place like home lol trace your history, that place you call home hasn't always been home, your ancestors probably moved from other places, such is Life. This Life is too short for me to just live in a place and die there. I love exploring, so the travelling can't stop for me. If i have my way i will chase the summer around the world. |

islandmoon: Which of the PH? If the Port Harcourt, be ready to face TMarine which is worst than LASTMA, Local Government boys particularly Obio Akpor LGA, Multiple taxation, cultist, constant broad day light robbery, sudden gun spree on the main road! Hahahah, guy park well! Come out to trans amadi industrial area by slaughter before 6am and you will certainly get robbed, agbero boys will arrest you claiming to be police. tell am oh. Some people just give reviews after a two day visit. I believe it's best to find out from those who reside or have lived there. I have resided at Orazi, eagle island, elekahia housing estate, gra phase 2, eliozu, town. Ph is just one abnormal jungle , as if any jungle is normal. I only miss Casablanca in ph. |

mmsen: You made a false claim.
I refuted the claim, with evidence.
Those are stats.
You have none, just conjecture. False claim on something I am on ground experiencing. First you stats are for a state, my review is for only one city in that state and you say i made a false claim? Am taking a single number and your taking a geometric mean. Let's drop it, you are entitled to your opinion. |

literarymathy: Nobody is digressing anything. By the way, I'm the OP. Secondly my statement concerning Kwara State is not digressional. Oro is a place, Offa is a place, Ilorin is a place, Omu aran is a place. They are all in Kwara state and apart from Ilorin, the rest are underdeveloped. Capiche? No capiche for this one cos I didn't call these "poverty stricken" places you have listed in my review, i was specific about Ilorin and only hinted that i visited offa now you all of a sudden generalised it into Kwara state by adding these places. Can you live in all of them at once? My review was simply for a place called ilorin CAPICHE!!!!!!? Lol unless you wanna change your topic title from best place to best state to live then i will capiche. |
