FKO81:
All these coneheads with their propaganda only NLNG covers all the industries in southwest, NLNG Bonny is one of the biggest in the world Train 1-8, even proposed Dangote can't be compare to NLNG

Is Doha more industrialized than Seoul because Doha has the biggest LNG in the world?

Fifthcolumnist:
The question was which state is more Industrialised.

Industrialization is measured by contribution to GNP and not number of Industries. Ogun has far more Industries but with a far less contribution to GNP.

Your answer is only valid in Technical terms if you were referring to "manufacturing Industries".

Not everyone is a fool!! Good evening

@bolded is not the definition of industrialization..

So, because Refinery is in Saudi Arabia, it's is more industrialized than Seoul?

So, New York is more economical vibrant than Seoul means it's more industrialized than Seoul?.

Oga, check the meaning of industrialization for dictionary..

What is 'Industrialization'
Industrialization is the process by which an economy is transformed from primarily agricultural to one based on the manufacturing of goods. Individual manual labor is often replaced by mechanized mass production, and craftsmen are replaced by assembly lines..

Industrialisation or industrialization is the period of social and economic change that transforms a human group from an agrarian society into an industrial one, involving the extensive re-organisation of an economy for the purpose of manufacturing.

As industrial workers' incomes rise, markets for consumer goods and services of all kinds tend to expand and provide a further stimulus to industrial investment and economic growth.

As I said the numbers of industries overweight the magnitude of one big industry as industrialization is concerned.

Na wa ooooooo.

Fifthcolumnist:
What he means is the petro-industry in the PH and the SS basically feeds Nigeria. It's ridiculously absurd to compare them, except you're taking about the variety of industries, in which case Ogun has a lot.

But in terms of size and out put the oil industry beats every other Industry in Nigeria, even telecoms. You have to feel or see it for your self to understand.

We are talking about Numbers of industries and not who is feeling who.

In this case, Ogun State has more than Port Harcourt. EOD

Basic123:
base on his own delusional logic laddened with inferiority complex,immediately the dangote refinery is completed,lekki alone we be more industrialized than the rest of lagos.

I think he has a secret sinister to misinform the public.

He's not informed.

naturalman:
Guy, are you OK....

Only SHELL will swallow Ogun state.....

You guys always argue trash.....you sit in Lagos and think Nigeria start from Lagos/SW and end in Abuja....

Travel out and stop arguing trash online...

Do you know how much investment is made in SHELL, NLNG ,INTELS, ELF,NESTOIL, AGIP etc

A company that is even feeding the nation...SHELL alone contributes 40% of Nigeria revenue.

How many company in Ogun state that can sustain Ogun state not to talk of the nation...


If not because of foreign investment, Anambra should be ahead of Ogun state...

I don't do tribalism, I say thing the way it is in reality...

The most industrialized state has to do with the numbers of industries or magnitude of a company?

I think you are mixing two things together. Ain't you?

Olu317:
There is nothing to materialise there yet as secession hasn't taken place. Nothing will ever happen on the bill of rights until such as secession take place. And as yesterday, some people marked 50th anniversary of the beginning of the Nigerian Civil war. So,until the three groups don't see eye to eye that things can materialise. Else it will still be at the archive of United Nations as recognising formally The Yoruba nation.

I see. Thanks

AkinPhysicist:
Yes. I have always been of the opinion that in the case of break up, the Itshekiris will do very well in a Niger-Delta Republic. The effective/mature manner the Warri crisis was eventually handled is testament to the fact the Ijaws, Urhobos and Itshekiris can work very well together IF they choose to. Although, the Ijaws might be reluctant to form a country with Bini/Edo, I think eventually both will reliance that it is in their best interest to be in the SAME country.

Itshekiris can't survive in the same country with the majority Ijaw and Uhrobo and all the disputed lands will be easily taken away from them. That is suicidal.

ezeagu:
Sure, some of the words are shared with Yoruba as well like Yoruba ogun (twenty) and Igbo ọgụ (twenty).

Some words that are similar here are:

Itsekiri - Igbo
ekpetin (box) - akpati
ukpo (bed) - ukpo (platform)
uko (cup) - iko
okérén (man) - okenye
okoro (man) - okoro
aféré (wind) - ufere (breeze/wind)
esin (pig) - ezi
etin (ear) - nti
tolotolo (turkey) - tolotolo

Just a little similar is Itsekiri soro (stand) and Igbo wuzo (stand)

All the @bolded are of Yoruba dialect, Ijebu.

Efewestern:
yes, if you read my earlier post I said almost same with ondo dialect, never mind itsekiri still remains a key branch of Yoruba language. a dialect of Yoruba.

but their identity still remains same.

ITSEKIRI.

There is nothing like Yoruba without identify.

Ijesha, Oyo, Egba, Ilaje, Ijebu, Ife, Remo etc have their own identity but they have embraced and accepted to be under one umbrella called Yoruba which I suppose Itsekiri are one of the bona-fide member.

Olu317:
It means Yoruba is an ethnicity that is capable of staying as a nation on her own. This has been in the United Nations archives for years. It was during the M. K. O Abiola era that Yoruba man was denied the right to ascend to the presidency office after he won the election. A lot of Yoruba were killed Including Pa Alfred Rewane. An itsekiri man, Who knew their ancestors story as part of Yoruba Race. Some members of the N. A. D. E. C. O , took it upon themselves to establish the Odu'a people's Congress. And a draft of Yoruba nation was established and submitted on behalf of Yoruba nation to the United Nations. This was how the Odu'a groups and Yoruba bodies both in diaspora and at home begun to be formed from 1993/1994 upwards, Starting with N. A. D. E. C. O. So, I mock some people who think they were the first to draft such bill of rights to the United Nations .Yoruba lead others follow.

I see. Thanks


So, why has it not materialized until now?

How long will it take to actualize?

Olu317:
You asked a deep question that's perpetually, above board. However, let me clearly state here that there are different groups in Yoruba land and also in diaspora with ideology of actualising Odu'a nation's existence. These groups that have done tremendous work for the potential actualisation of Yoruba nation once the geographical local as it stand tilt toward balkanisation. The indisputable head of this actualisation of Yoruba nation is Rtd .General Akinrinade. The Yoruba bill of RIGHTS is with the UNITED NATIONS for years, so,it it is only a matter of time, for its realisation . The OP, is an entity that has been championing the cause of the actualisation of Odu'a nation for years as well as other groups but Yoruba cannot take on all the groups in Nigeria, until when few groups have issues as it stand now, which will make potential realisation of Odu'a nation possible. No group can be trusted by Yoruba based on the perception of the past event in the polity. It just as,one of the contributor, has hinted you, that sensitisation of the populace of Yoruba extraction, especially residing at Oke Oya and beyond are the ones that such might be the ones that need to be conscious of the situation . So, that they won't fall into the trap of irrational ideology of such balkanisation of this polity as a myriad. The hand writing is on the wall as it seems.

Odu'a land within this polity

Can you please explain the @bolded?

What does it implies?

When was it submitted?

What or how long will take for the process to sail through?

Thanks

West Ham fans vent anger after transfer decision – ‘We are a shambles’

By Gareth McKnight - July 7, 2017

West Ham United have reportedly pulled out of the race to sign Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho this summer, giving Leicester City the impetus to close in on a deal to sign the Nigerian forward.

The young attacker has been linked with a move to the London Stadium over the last number of weeks, with the Hammers in dire need of attacking recruits before next season.

However, it has been widely reported that West Ham have ended their supposed interest in Iheanacho and will focus on other targets in their attempts to add firepower to Slaven Bilic’s squad.

West Ham have been trying to land a number nine of note for the last 12 months and failed in attempts to sign the likes of Carlos Bacca, Michy Batshuayi and Alexandre Lacazette last summer.

The loan additions of Simone Zaza and Jonathan Calleri were failed experiments, while Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho could not be depended on last term due to consistent injuries.

At first sight Iheanacho seemed like an ideal potential signing for West Ham, with the City striker showing that he can score goals in the Premier League when given a chance to play.

The Nigerian’s pace, ability on the ball and cool finishing means that there will be no shortage of suitors for him this summer – but the Hammers have seemingly decided not be one of them.

The Irons have been linked with a host of other attackers in the last month, with names such as Olivier Giroud, Javier Hernandez, Cedric Bakambu, Anthony Modeste and Andre Gray all touted as options.

However, the West Ham fans were quick to take to Twitter after the latest development regarding Iheanacho, with the majority livid that their club were ready to let the City starlet join Leicester – here are the best tweets.

@Bilic Iheanacho is bettah than Gray

— Dale (@WHU_Dale) July 6, 2017

Love bilic, but tactics, substitutions were very wierd last year and now pulling plug on iheanacho, wtf is he doing, wont be there in 2018??

— Guto Gwenallt (@GutoG_WHU) July 6, 2017

@JacobSteinberg What are your thoughts on the transfer situation at WHU? Missing out on Iheanacho seems criminally shoddy. Massive error.

— Edward B (@EddieB1971) July 6, 2017

Why doesn't Slav want iheanacho .. looks good to me, what's his master plan

— Louie Wansell WHU (@LouieWansell82) July 6, 2017

Bilic is a bloody idiot if he rejected Iheanacho just because he's inexperienced

— Dale (@WHU_Dale) July 6, 2017

Billic having a mare not signing iheanacho because because his age

— West Ham Community (@WHU_Forever) July 6, 2017

Bilic must be pretty confident in us signing Giroud then if he doesnt want Iheanacho as he thinks hes "unproven"

Lets hope that is the case

— MR ⚒ (@WHU_MR2013) July 6, 2017

I stress again. We had Zaza and Calleri and a china doll in AC and a male Mariah Carey in Sakho and Bilic doesn't rate iheanacho l?? #coyi

— ⚒ Marky Perkins ⚒ (@Supagrova1973) July 6, 2017

If Bilic has said no to Iheanacho without having somone better/equal close to joining West Ham then I'm afraid he's lost it #WHUFC #COYI

— Green St. Hammers (@GreenStHammers) July 6, 2017

I swear Iheanacho will be so good for Leicester next season just cus we didn't sign him lol #westhamway

— Diddy The Hammer (@COYI_SWE) July 6, 2017

We are shambles. Not because we didn't sign Iheanacho, but because the board and Sully's teenage son threw Slav under the bus for it. #COYI

— The West Hamerican (@WestHamerican) July 6, 2017

Carl don't walk it alone, walk with him and look up to him, he will renew your strength and restore your health.

I hope you recover soon to be available for the 2018 World Cup. Shalom.

Now, there's no problem on the ownership and lordship of Warri because of one Nigeria but at the event Nigeria eventually secedes, believe me there will be wars on this subject and especially Gbaramatu and other lands violently taken by some groups.

Onyekuru – I Had Medicals At PSG Before Agreeing To Join Everton Two Hours Later

July 6, 201703

‎Super Eagles fringe star Henry Onyekuru has revealed he sensationally turned down a move to French giants PSG in favour of a move to English side Everton.

Onyekuru is on a season long loan deal to Anderlecht from Everton where he penned a five year deal following his 7 million euros transfer from Belgian side Eupen.

However the 20 year old said he could have been playing for French giants PSG as he had already agreed a deal to join the team after which he had his medical, but he opt out of the move two hours later after hearing of interest from Everton.

” As many as 48 teams were battling to sign me, when you consider the amount of teams from January till I decided to join Everton, it was crazy but I believe the move to Everton is best for my career.

” I even had medicals at PSG, but they were a bit slow during talks, and two hours after my medicals, my manager cancelled the deal with them when we heard of the offer from Everton. I was that close to joining PSG”, Onyekuru revealed.

World Cup-Winning Striker Of Nigerian Descent Begins Training With Liverpool, Snubs Chelsea

Published: July 06, 2017

England U20 international of Nigerian parentage Dominic Solanke has started pre-season training with Liverpool.

The Reds are yet to officially announce the transfer of Solanke from Chelsea, but the talented striker was sighted at Melwood for the second straight day, on Wednesday, July 5.

Solanke and another player of Nigerian descent ,who helped England win the Fifa U20 World Cup Sheyi Ojo, were pictured by Liverpool's photographers training with other first-teamers at the start of pre-season training.

It is assumed that Liverpool have not yet announced the transfer of Solanke and the duration of his contract because the Professional Football Compensation Committee has not determined the training compensation to be paid to Chelsea.

The Golden Ball winner at the 2017 Fifa U20 World Cup has joined Liverpool as a free agent after spending the last thirteen years of his career at Stamford Bridge.

Golden Ball Winner Of Nigerian Descent Arrives Melwood To Finalize Move To Liverpool

Golden Ball Winner Of Nigerian Descent Arrives Melwood To Finalize Move To Liverpool
Liverpool are set to reconfirm the signing of England U20 sensation of Nigerian descent Dominic Solanke in the coming days.

The former Chelsea wonderkid was pictured at Liverpool's training ground on Tuesday, and it is thought the striker was at Melwood to finalize his switch to the Reds.

Liverpool had offered three million pounds for Solanke but his stock has risen after helping the Young Lions clinch the Fifa U20 World Cup, and winning the Golden Ball, awarded to the best player at the tournament.

The Professional Football Compensation Committee will meet this month to decide the true valuation of the player.

Everton, Sunderland, Arsenal, West Ham, Rangers and Celtic were strongly interested in Solanke before Liverpool won the race for his signature.

Icon4s:
Firstly, I hope you know 2010 WC and AFCON qualifiers ended in 2009? So that doesn't count for the next decade.

2. Ikpeba did not feature as a winger for the Super Eagles he was a striker while Tijani was a winger. So this is simple as comparing apple with orange.

Without 2009 WC and AFCON qualifiers no 2010 WC and AFCON. Even FIFA recognized his contribution hence the continuous preview of his goals during the world cup.

2, he did.

Icon4s:
for 2010 to date. Na wa.

If na so. Emenike, Martins and Odenwinge.

Icon4s:
Ow! goals ratio? It is now goals ratio.

Well based on goals ratio Iheanacho is the greatest striker in the EPL history and greatest Nigerian striker of all time. Haha haha.

Can you compare Ikpeba's contribution for that short period to the Yak's contributions from 2001 to 2010? third highest scorer for Nigeria within that time frame?

Wetin Kanu do? You know those days we used to have so many anti-Kanu fans. I just spotted one. Haha haha. The history of Nigerian football will not be complete without the mention of the name "Nwankwo Kanu".

For that 2010 AFCON Ike uche missed out due to injury. He was our hottest striker leading to that AFCON. Yakubu and Osaze had a better tournament than Martins. Osaze scored twice while Yakubu and Martins only scored once.

At the 2010 WC Martins was a shadow of himself. Our goals were scored by Kalu Uche(2 goals) and Yakubu (1 goal). Nothing from Martins.

If you have even fronted Osaze I will still agree more because Osaze even featured at the 2014 WC and scored our first goal(against Bosnia)

Martins had his better days in the 2000s but then there was Yakubu.

My three top 3 strikers for this decade thus far are Uche, Emenike and Osaze.

Dani Shitu: You include him in the 2010 to present first 11? A player that the only tournament he featured for Nigeria this decade (2010 WC) he was a disaster.

Since you focused on only goal as your sole parameter, I pointed out that Aghahowa national team goal ratio is far better than Yakubu and Aghahowa goals were crucial at some points.

When he played he contributed immensely to all our games. He will always be remembered ahead of Yakubu.

There is more confidence in Aghahowa to deliver than Yakubu.

21 goals out of 58 games is very poor compared to Yekini's 37 goals out of the same 58 games and Aghahowa's 14 goals out of 31 goals.

Remember, Aghahowa goals propelled us to the 2000 AFCON final. What can be said of Yakubu?

Wetin Iheanacho don do for National team? Nothing.

Oga, stop shifting goal post. You said from 2000, haba!

Ikpeba contributed to the 2000 AFCON hence my submission that he should replace Tijani Babanjida.

I didn't remove Yak for Ikpeba. I removed Tijani Babanjida for Ikpeba and Yakubu for Aghahowa.


I love Kanu but truth must be told, he did nothing at National team level. If otherwise, kindly highlight any.


In 2010, during the AFCON qualifier, Obinna was the reigning kid in the block thought Ike Uche also did well, and both ended up scoring 4 goals each but Martins heroic 2 goals against Kenya that gifted us the world cup slot was highlight of his contribution which overshadowed every other events.

Remember, Martins did it from 2006 to 2010 Afcon qualifiers though ignored for larger part of the qualifiers.

Without Martins no World cup and had it been Martins was invited concurrently and consistently during the 2006 FIFA world cup, we for no miss am.

However, our best players were not utilized during the 2010 World Cup. Remember, Osaze yabed the coach for keeping the best on the bench including his humble self.

Martins was only used in the last March against South Korea, you saw what happened. We suppose win.

Martins setup Yakubu but he missed severally and eventually killed his career with the national team with the miss of the century.

Did I here say, Yakubu had good tournament!?

I already sited Odenwinge on your list and I suppose you added him as a winger hence the need to put Martins.


My three best strikers of the decade are Aghahowa, Emenike and Martins.

givbitcoin:
I hope you know you are directly adding stones to your load.

BTW, don't expect sick comments of yours to go unanswered. They might just be visited on one of you over here and he will not know whose debt he is paying. Got that drift?

Your ref points are really pathetic. Those were communal clashes. If you really want to know men who are men. let's use this osibanjo saga as a testing ground. If osibanjo becomes the President of this country, let my name cease to be Waziri

This man coolu down and let peace be.

You seems to be very bitter because of one thing, you wanted the South West to support the declaration of the Northern youth group call for the South Easterners to vacate the North on the 1st of October but the west decided to unit with other parts of the South to speak against it.


I mean the union of the South is your nightmare.

Mr man, how can the North expect support from the west when the situation on ground shows that the North has betrayed the west that brought them to power?


If the Northerners were smart enough, they would have honored their part of agreement that rode them to power but unfortunately as soon as the Northerners were installed at the corridors of power, they started showing trait of their inbuilt betrayal, and to add insult to injury you want to form a country together with those you betrayal openly.

Despite all these anomalies and shame the Northerners subjected the west to face, the West has been patient to support, tolerate and defend the Northerners in all trials times.


However, Westerners has seen the handwritten on the wall in this lasted move to delibarately destabilize the society through the Northern youth declaration, rumors of Coup etc in order to usher in the military regime headed by the Northerners to take over the government of the day.

This move is dead on arrival and could possibly mere this marriage called Nigeria.

On this note, the western part of Nigeria reacted and acted because they read all shenanigans moves by Northerners. That is what we call check mate.

Let me put this to your subconscious mind that had it been the government of the day headed by the North carried the west along from the onset, nobody from the west will harbour an iota of distrust in them which currently witnessed in them.

Now, instead of you to reason and profound solutions, you are adding more fuel and more salt to injuries.


Therefore, be reminded that the west is ready to take the bull by horn as they have always done from the days Dan fodio till date.

Your arrogance is what will bring you down. Enough said.

Icon4s:
Who scored more goals for Nigeria between Yakubu and Aghohowa.

Ikpeba belong to the 90s generation. I didn't even include Oliseh who Played in the 2002AFCON to the 2000-2009 list. The Olympics you talk about for Ikpeba was in the 90s na.


How on earth can you replace Nwankwo Kanu with John Utaka?

Martins belongs to the 2000-2009 class.
Which tournaments has he taken part in from 2010 to date?

I still stick to Obaobona ahead of Shitu. How many caps did shitu have for Nigeria and what did he achieve?

Yak scored 21 out of 58 matches which goal ratio is 0.36 while Aghahowa scored 14 goals in 31 matches, a goal ratio of 0.45.


As you can see, Aghahowa's goal ratio is better than Yakubu and Aghahowa goals were crucial.


Ikpeba played from 1994 till 2002. Therefore, he is very much qualified to be included in 2000 - 2009 because he was effective in 2000 AFCON.


Wetin Kanu do for National team? Nada.


Martins played in the 2010 AFCON and 2010 FIFA world cup.

Danny Shittu had 32 caps.

Icon4s:
For Okala those multiple league wins were mostly in the late 70s.

Yakubu was not only a club man. He was the highest goals scorer for Nigeria for his era. Second overall behind Yekini. Yakubu reigned from the 2000 Olympics down to the 2010 WC. Aghahowa was only there as top striker from 2000- 2002 even though he and Yakubu are age mates. If you talk of reliability it was Yakubu. Aghahowa faded too early.

Segun Odegbami is the second overall goal scorer for Nigeria behind Yekini while Yakubu is the 3rd.

Icon4s:
4 Generations of the Green Eagles/Super Eagles from the 1980s to present.

This write up is aimed at selecting the best 11 from each of the generations of Eagles.

I have grouped the 4 generations into 4 different decades: 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s(present)

Taking our minds down Memory Lane a bit, some may have to cast our minds farther than others. But which ever generation you belong your team will be captured.

With the emergence of Enugu Rangers and IICC as formidable forces in the mid to late 70s both in Nigeria and Africa, Nigeria was able to produce a formidable team that finished 3rd at the 1978 AFCON and ended up with a crescendo by winning the 1980 AFCON (then called the African Cup of Unity). That was the birth of Nigeria's dominance of football in Africa.

From 1980 to 1989 this is my first 11:

Peter Rufai
Bright Omokaro
Christian Chukwu
Stephen Keshi
Yisa Shofoluwe
Muda Lawal
Henry Nwosu
Samuel Okwaraji
Segun Odegbami
Adokiye Amiesimaka
Rashidi Yekini

With the Green Eagles of Algiers 90 nations cup came a new era of Nigerian football. Some of the players in the team of the 80s had become the senior players of the team. This era saw us dominate football in Africa and at a time ranked 5th in the world, highest for any African team ever. Also winning the AFCON in 1994.

My first 11 from the 1990 to 1999:

Peter Rufai
Ben Iroha
Uche Okechukwu
Stephen Keshi
Augustine Eguavoen
Sunday Oliseh
Austin Okocha
Emmanuel Amuneke
Finidi George
Daniel Amokachi
Rashidi Yekini

With Nigeria producing so many quality youth players in the 1990s both at the U17 and U20. Including winning the Olympics in 1996 and a q/final showing in 2000. A new generation of Eagles emerged. Some others joined from the 2003 U17 and 2005 U20. Some of the players from the 90s had become senior players in the team.

My first 11 for 2000 to 2009:

Vincent Enyeama
Taye Taiwo
Joseph Yobo
Taribo West
Chidi Odiah
Garba Lawal
Austin Okocha
Osaze Odemwingie
Tijani Babangida
Nwankwo Kanu
Yakubu Ayegbeni

The 2010 WC saw the end of a good number of the players of the 2000s. Some retired even before then.
The super eagles would had to depend mostly on the players who featured at the 2003 U17, 2005 U20, 2007 U20, 2008 U23 and 2009 U17 to carry the team further. This culminated in the team wining the AFCON in 2013. Nigeria continued to turn out quality youth players from the 2011 U20, 2013 U20, 2013 U17, 2015 U20 and 2015 U17.

My first 11 from 2010 to date:

Vincent Enyeama
Elderson Echiejile
Kenneth Omeruo
Godfrey Obaobona
Efe Ambrose
Ogenyi Onazi
John Obi Mikel
Victor Moses
Ahmed Musa
Ikechukwu Uche
Emmanuel Emenike

These are strictly my opinion. You are free to criticize or agree on any generation. Who is on my side on this one?

*clearing throat*

Based on what each players bought the to the table at the National team level and club level will I chose my players.


From 1980 - 1999 no wahala.


But from 2000 - 2009

I go commot Yakubu put Aghahowa, Tijani to be replaced by Ikpeba. Kanu for John Utaka.

Why? Aghahowa was our top highest goal scorer in 2000 and 2002 Nations cup, he was among the best team of the Tournament in 2002 and joint top scorer of the Tournament. Gbam.


Ikpeba was part of the 1994 Africa cup of Nations winning team, he also contributed at the 2000 Nations cup were we got to the final (he no miss d penalty oooo, na ojoro Cameroon take win), he helped Monaco to win the league and contributed to the underage Olympics.

John Utaka na em biko.

*clearing throat*..

2010 to date

Commot Ike put Martins Obafemi.


We all saw how one legged Martins singlehandedly qualified us for the world cup. He's still very much available for selection.




In addition, I go commot Obaobona for Danny Shittu

Dey wan cry!

TheGoodJoe:
As I have said before, you are talking of us changing strategy. Playing a lone striker system does not mean the strikers play the same way. Messi played as a lone striker but the system requires the team work together. Rohr does not coach the Mourinho way. He will not keep his team compact at the back with a big man upfront.

His style is more modern and a player like Nacho works for him. You can not tell Guardiola to play Bony upfront. Guardiola will play Sterling and De Bruyne before Bony.

List top 10 or 5 clubs in the world and list top 5 teams that plays modern day football.
