logica: Say no more, and stress no more. Just donate your brain right away for surgeons to study what a m0ron's brain looks like.

you are really logica.
like dustbin logica. you just disgraced yourself with your no IQ possessing logic. say that again

Niger govt is extremely poor, the almajiris are extremely rich

This stats can be thrown in the dustbin where it belongs. Babyosisi has done justice to it. The YEMI KALE is even schizophrenic

logica: How does one educate an ignoramus like this one?

OK, Niger State is the poorest IS NOT the same as Niger State residents are the poorest. There is such a thing as the Niger State Government. When they say Niger State is poor, they refer to the government, not the people living in Niger State. When they say Niger State has the lowest poverty rate, they refer to the residents of Niger State; not the Niger State Government. Dummy.

Jesus Christ! if you are by any means educated, I condemn myself to be an illiterate. And please enough of this senselessness, am already stressing my brain trying to figure it out.

smh at this man, maybe the monies were invested in his grand brewery, fidelity bank, his malls in Abuja, sab Miller all acquired with state funds, calculate all the measly projects and investments this crook has done in Anambra and its not up to 50 million dollars. This discombulated fellow thinks good governance is about abandoning your entorage when you want to travel abroad and pocketing their monies which will be appropriated

As for me, fashola has non existent project. he's a fraudster.

afam is doing a nice job, the cowards have found their identity. you would have completed your sentence in the past EkoIle.... really suxs



This thread too is funny

RIP to the deceased, what a useless country!

If there was any needed example to
prove that justice delayed is justice
denied, it is in the case of the Apo Six,
an appellation that has stuck to a group
of Igbo that were unlawfully killed by
the police in Abuja eight years ago.
Ifeanyi Ozo, Chinedu Meniru, Isaac
Ekene, Paulinus Ogbonna, Anthony
Nwokike and Augustina Arebun, all aged
between 21 and 25 years, were
murdered by the police on June 8, 2005
and nearly eight years after, their
parents are still seeking justice.
The five young traders were murdered
in cold blood in 2005 shortly after
leaving Grand Mirage Hotel, Abuja
where they went for a party. The sixth
victim, Arebun, who visited her
boyfriend, Uzor, had accompanied them
to the outing. While the police shot the
five boys dead, Arebun was strangled to
death in a bid to stop her from
contradicting the police version of the
incident.
The incident sparked a two-day riot in
the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. Not
so much because the police killed the
innocent young men and a lady, but
more because of the careful scheme of
the police to label the victims as armed
robbers. The uproar had forced the then
Inspector General of Police (IG), Tafa
Balogun, to set up a panel of enquiry
headed by Mike Okiro. Not sure what
verdict the police panel will return, the
then President Olusegun Obasanjo set
up a Commission of Inquiry chaired by
Justice Olasumbo Goodluck. Both the
Okiro and Goodluck panels declared that
the Apo Six were murdered innocently.
The commission besides clearing the
victims of the allegation that they were
armed robbers, recommended that the
bodies of the deceased should be
exhumed for proper burial, which should
be funded by the Federal Government.
It also recommended that the police
officers who were behind the dastardly
act should be prosecuted for multiple
first degree murder.
In compliance with the
recommendation of the commission, the
Federal Government on December 4,
2005 gave the victims proper burial as
their bodies were taken to their
respective states having given each of
the families N3 million, while the eight
police officers involved in the act were
charged to court for murder.
But eight years after, those responsible
for their killings have not been brought
to book. Their trial has witnessed many
twists and turns.
For failing to deliver justice in the case,
the leader of Movement for the
Actualisation of the Sovereign State of
Biafra (MASSOB), Mr. Ralph Uwazurike,
has given the judiciary an ultimatum to
ensure justice by the end of the year.
He threatened that if nothing was done
by then, he would mobilise people to
protest the undue delay in the case.
He issued the threat after the parents
and relations of the victims sought his
intervention as a last resort to entreat
him to take up the “buried” case of
their children.
Briefing journalists on the issue,
Uwazurike said the parents and relations
of the victims besieged his house in
Owerri insisting that anything short of
justice in the matter would not be
acceptable to them.
He expressed dismay that eight years
after the six persons were killed,
nothing serious is being done to bring
the culprits to justice. He therefore
asked the Federal Government to
initiate actions aimed at ensuring that
the matter is ended before the end of
this year, failing which he said he would
mobilise his members to make the
country “ungovernable”.
THISDAY checks revealed that the legal
procedure has suffered so much
manipulation aimed at stalling the trial.
Although bail, for instance should not be
granted to suspects in a murder case
such as this, the trial judge, Justice
Isyaku Bello, granted it. The prime
suspect, Ibrahim Danjuma, a Deputy
Commissioner of Police, had claimed
that he was suffering from diabetes,
ulcer and heart problem.
To further stall the case, the fifth
accused policeman, Ezekiel Acheneje,
seems to have perfected the act of
hiring and firing his lawyers so that the
case can be adjourned as many times as
possible, because the law requires that
a murder suspect must be represented
by a lawyer.
What is worse, the DPO of the Apo
Police Station, Othman Abdulsalam,
where the victims were killed, escaped
from police custody since 2005 and has
remained at large till today.
However, while other seven officers
involved in the act have remained in
prison custody since then, Danjuma who
allegedly led others in shooting the six
Apo traders secured bail since 2006. The
case has since then been floundering
under Justice Bello and has witnessed
many adjournments.
Dismayed by the development,
Uwazurike asked the Federal
Government to ensure that the case is
ended before the end of the year,
noting that the unnecessary delay in the
court process was making the relatives
of the victims to begin to lose hope in
the process and are accordingly
suspecting “foul play along the line”.
He further asked Ndigbo all over the
world to begin to observe June 8 every
year with effect from 2013 as work-free
day to mark the gruesome killing of the
Igbo traders as well as the plethora of
injustices being meted out against the
Igbo before the international
community.
He pointed out that, “Rev. King who
killed one member of his church was
sentenced to death within six months
but policemen who killed six young Igbo
traders are still there eight years after
and even their ring leader is walking the
streets having secured bail for first
degree murder. I am interested in this
case because of the injustices against
our people in Nigeria. We have two
types of laws in Nigeria, one for Igbo
and one for others. Once it involves
Igbo, we are doomed. The DCP is
roaming the streets as if nothing has
happened; while others are in
detention.
“It’s not a matter of compensation; it’s
a matter that has to do with an Igbo
man being killed like an animal in a
country we jointly own. Someone killed
six people and is roaming the streets. I
want to say that Ndigbo will like to see
the end of the case.”
Continuing, the MASSOB leader said: “If
nothing happens by the end of the year
in this matter, we’ll make the country
ungovernable. We’ll tell them that Igbo
man cannot be killed like chicken in
Nigeria. We must follow this case to a
logical conclusion. We know our people
are being killed daily in the North,
especially in the course of the Boko
Haram upsurge, but if they are now
making a concrete statement to the
effect that our security is no more
guaranteed, then we know what to do.”

Fashola the media overrated criminal who has signed off Lagos future to Tinubu. The most confused governor in Nigeria. Mr Babatunde is just the private sector away from being worst governor in Nigeria. Very corny individual

Tony Spike: Some nairalanders are so funny. Wasn't it the same NBS data released in 2006 that some ethnic bigots used to spite some regions quoted as having high poverty rates in Nigeria? Now that the data has been reviewed and updated, the figures are fake. This is very pathetic. This thread looks promising, Afam, be on the look-out please!

reviewed and updated by who?

cockyjay: assuming the the poverty in the SW was found to be next to that of the north you'll believe right?

yes... if that makes you happy. You people should keep living in delusion. Getting excited because a bigot statistician general whose work was previously rejected by FG said there is less poverty in a state that cannot pay minimum wage. where people are dying of poverty

No reliable data on Nigeria’s poverty
rate – World Bank

The World Bank has said there is no reliable data with which to correctly measure the decline or
increase in Nigeria’s poverty rate.
In a video press conference to mark the
release of Africa’s Pulse, an analysis of
issues shaping the continent’s economic
future, the World Bank’s Chief Economist
for the African region, Mr. Shanta
Devarajan, said the poverty rate in the
continent’s resource rich was reducing
slower than in non-rich resource nations.
Answering a specific question on Nigeria’s
poverty rate, Devarajan said the subject
was very controversial and suggested that
the country should invest more in the
production of statistics that were reliable.
“We (World Bank) don’t know Nigeria’s
poverty rate. We don’t know whether it
is going up or coming down. There is a lot
controversy surrounding it. There is need
to invest in data,” he said.
The National Bureau of Statistics had in
February released figures that showed
that the nation’s poverty level was
increasing. The report was mired in
controversy as it was rejected by the
Federal Government.
The Statistician-General of the Federation,
Dr. Yemi Kale, had said, “It remains a
paradox … that despite the fact that the
Nigerian economy is growing, the
proportion of Nigerians living in poverty is
increasing every year.
“NBS estimates that this trend may have
increased further in 2011 if the potential
positive impacts of several anti-poverty
and employment generation intervention
programmes are not taken into account.”
According to him, the poverty rate in
Nigeria may have risen to 71.5 per cent,
61.9 per cent, and 62.8 per cent using
the relative, absolute and dollar-per-day
measures, respectively, adding that the
picture would become clearer when the
Annual Socio-Economic Survey would be
completed later in the year.
Devarajan, however, said the continent
needed to translate the high growth rate
it was enjoying into poverty reduction,
adding that job creation remained an
important instrument for poverty
reduction.
He said the continent had a large young
population that could make it a
powerhouse in the future, but regretted
that with the slow rate of job creation,
the young people might end up working
in the informal sector as their parents.
In a statement issued at the end of the
conference, the World Bank said Africa
was expected to grow at 4.8 per cent for
all of 2012.
Excluding South Africa, the continent’s
largest economy, growth in sub-Saharan
Africa was forecast to rise to six per cent.
African exports rebounded notably in the
first quarter of 2012, growing at an
annualised pace of 32 per cent, up from
the 11 per cent recorded in the last
quarter of 2011, it said.
The statement read in part, “African
countries have not been immune to the
recent bout of market volatility stemming
from the Euro area crisis, as well as the
growth slowdown that is occurring in
some of the largest developing
economies, in particular China, which
remains an important market for Africa’s
mineral exporters.
“However, consistently high commodity
prices and strong export growth in those
countries, which have made mineral
discoveries in recent years, have fuelled
economic activity and are expected to
underpin Africa’s economic growth for the
rest of 2012.”
With the global economy still in fragile
condition, Africa’s Pulse warned that the
continent’s strong growth rates could yet
be vulnerable to deteriorating market
conditions in the Euro-zone.
It stated, “In addition, recent spikes in
food and grain prices are a cause for
concern. An unprecedented hot and dry
summer in the United States, Russia and
Eastern Europe led to reduced yields on
both maize and wheat production
worldwide. Africa’s Sahel region is already
suffering from higher food prices, high
rates of malnutrition and recurring crisis
and insecurity.
“Furthermore, swarms of desert locusts
and the ongoing conflict in The Sahel also
undermine the region’s food security.
Countries like Mali and Niger are already
suffering from locust invasions with a
possibility that the swarm could move to
neighbouring countries such as Mauritania
and Chad.”

LWKM......... THE STATISTICIAN GENERAL YEMI KALE!!!!!!!!


WHEN WILL THESE FOLKS STOP TAKING THE WHOLE COUNTRY FOR A RIDE, THINKING WE BELIEVE THEIR BULLSHYTE STATS. THIS DOES NOT REPRESENT WHAT IS ON GROUND! THIS WHOLE STUFF IS BULLSHYTE AND BOTH POLITICALLY AND ETHNICALLY MOTIVATED. NO WONDER I RUSHED TO CHECK THE PERSON IN CHARGE WHEN THE WHOLE LIST STARTED GETTING FUNNY AND WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED.


THRASH STATS.

geeez: Seriously we don't have your time. We are quite busy right now developing our region.

keep deceiving yourself...

comes alive with uncompleted buildings? and you notice how the official ACN nairaland publicist was quick to say Thank you to the below par governor as if he was doing a favor to the people from his personal pockets. ACN is evil! They only perform by propaganda

youngmonie: This is what freaks me out about Nigerian Journalism and alll this internet news site, its one thing to just type up somethings and expect people to believe, its another to show us some EVIDENCE EVIDENCE EVIDENCE. Proove they did all this things.

what evidence do you need? you want to see the sextape? mumu

Dede1: I read through the posts on the thread about “Enugu being the pride of east” and laughed at the ignorance exhibited by some posters. The acts of posting unguarded comments borne out of ignorance on the public domain create unwanted posts as evidenced by the thread in this discuss.

The mere insinuation that Anambra State or origin of Anambra is better than all Igbo people can be safely described as figment of imagination. The historical achievements of Ndigbo did not start with Azikwe or Ojukwu or Achebe and end with Akunyili or Ezekwesili or Soludo. The pillars of achievement among Ndigbo are enormous and should not spur certain people into unnecessary childish exuberance.

This thread that of enugu being the pride of the east should be ignored. I have never opened that thread one single day. People who peddle those silly views are just ignorant. But that of this thread is the handwork of an oduduwa man. Just learn to ignore these things

Where is desola that said these stories are not rampant? 5 cases in 24 hrs, we have to reorientaate ourselves to our values. The values of a black man. This is indeed sad. Am sorry for the victims

Ado-Ekiti – The police in Ekiti on Friday arraigned Solomon Olasehinde, 25, before an Ado-Ekiti Magistrate’s court for allegedly molesting a 13-year-old girl.



The prosecutor, Mr. Akinwale Oriyomi, alleged that the accused had unlawful carnal knowledge of his victim on Nov.17, 2012 at about 5:30pm at C62 Oke-Ibukun Street, Otun-Ekiti.

The prosecutor said the offence was contrary to 222 of the Criminal Code Cap 16 Laws of Ekiti and Section 357 and punishable under Section 358 of the Criminal Code Cap 16 Laws of Ekiti State of Nigeria, 2012.’

He appealed to the court for an adjournment to enable him duplicate the case file and send same to the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for legal advice.

The accused pleaded not guilty and his counsel, Mr. Ebenezer Adedeji, urged the court to grant bail to his client in liberal terms and assured the court that a reliable surety would be provided.

The Magistrate, Ms. Adejoke Anoma, granted bail to the accused in the sum of N100,000 and two sureties; one of whom should reside within the jurisdiction of the court and the other should be an elder in the Church where the accused was a pastor.

She adjourned the case till Jan. 9, 2013 for the DPP’s advice. (NAN)

Koolking: I am not surprise Fash and his cohorts are working free in the afternoon like modern day vampires just for the singular fact that we don't have laws that bite.

I don't have problem with these allegations and the people mentioned. As far as law is concerned, they are innocent until proven otherwise. I consider these allegations as hear-say, until they are substantiated.

I am not surprised no relevant anti-fraud agency is interested in investigating these allegations. I remember, before fash re-election, similar fraud allegations were raised against him by this same group, but Lagos State Assembly members swept under the carpet. Embarrassingly, Lagos State has not in anyway support any SMEs, let alone Big businesses. It's all round taxes - from state, LCD, phantom and even partnering with ogun state to some level. Tax! Tax!! Tax!!! with no commensurate growth and development. He is only basking in the euphoria of 'Eko ni baje' being the most popular slang in Lagos. Lagos is better than what we see and feel complacent about.

Fashola is simply a mediocre ethnic champion that lived on propaganda through out his first tenure mostly from activities of his godfather Tinubu controlled press. TheNation etc. Unfortunately for him, the eyes of the masses has opened and they have seen what we've seen all along that Fashola is one overrated crook. PDP has a great chance now in Lagos state. 'Eko ni baje' my foot!
