All Yoruba polygamous family is a war battle ground with Juju as their only Weapon.

you are derailing the thread please.

The African-American guy at the Lagos consulate is a bit strict.The African-American guy at the Lagos consulate is a bit strict.

A yorubaman under the monicker Gbenga (Gbenge77) started this thread. Not an Igbo setting.

The thread was not intended to disparage Ekiti state,having hailed from the South west myself.Amazingly,some saw this as an opportunity to put the state down.For crying out loud,she is just unlucky to receive one of the lowest statutory allocation,which depends on the population,land mass etc, from Abuja.

It will be unfair to lay all the burden on Ekiti, because having worked for FG in almost all the Yoruba states. The sampling we got showed that OSUN, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Kwara is as much poor as Ekiti. So we will not single out Ekiti alone, all the Yoruba states quite poor as much as we can see in Ekiti, no exceptions. The analysis showed that Yoruba states are sysnonymous with Somalia, Chad, Niger rep.  

comparing the South-West to Somalia,a war zone,appears dumb and idiotic.(no offense)

pls does applying with a virgin passport for us embassy have any disadvantages?

it doesnt really have any disadvantages per say.I ve seen people who have travelled to several european countries get denied at the US EMBASSY.Confidence at the interview is crucial.

@op,your wife subjected to some form of abuse by her 'in your face fart' and should be charged for that.(just kidding)

Hey Everyone,
I got a question. A friend of mine applied for the US visiting visa last year from another country of residence where she's studying and got rejected because of proof of social ties, My question now is she wants to apply for a visiting visa again this December with stronger evidence of social ties but also wants to participate in the US visa lottery program in October, does this affect her chances of getting the visa in December?

I think the  embassy usually have the results before they are officially released.If at the time of her B2 interview ,the embassy discovers she has been selected for a Dv visa,they might ask her not to bother about the B2 visa and wait for the release of the lottery results .Apparently,your sister intends to immigrate to the US.And,the consular wouldnt want to grant a NIV visa to someone who intends to immigrate to the US .If she emerges as a selectee in the lottery,there would be no need for a tourist visa again.

In fact,one of the criteria for granting Tourist visa is that the applicant has to prove his non-immigrant intent.

Wont GPD and HDI be a better way of determining if a state is poor? What does total allocation have to do with Being poor? Even Allocation per capital would have been a better statistical way of measuring if in which Ekiti comes in 12th.

But you have to realize that more than half of the state in nigeria are failures, With out government allocations they will fail. Thats because Nigeria has to many POINTLESS STATES and these idiots want to create more banana republic states in which they will need government allocation to survive. In reality a small country(size) like nigeria should only have 12-15 states that could generate revenue by themselves.

Ekiti is one of these pointless states, thats why the commissioner said its poor, Because its main source of revenue is from allocations. [/color]

[quote][/quote]you are right.Many states were created because locals wanted bragging rights.Viability was not a factor.Some are still agitating for the creation of more states,hoping their current city would become the capital.And of course,more senatorial zones and federal constituencies would emerge,meaning more job for the "boys".
I did not create this thread to disparage Ekiti state,although the report appears sensational.

Can we have figures to back this up?

Ekiti comes in at number 35 on the revenue allocation table.

Ekiti is one of the youngest states in Nigeria though.

Amazing.

If each state would construct a power station of their own,electricity cuts would become a thing of the past.

We dont need Islamic banking at this time.

Apart from his powerful vocals,he doesnt appear to have any good virtue.

Its a black day for the Nigerian police

Frankly,GEJ does not come across as an inspirational leader.He appears to be running the country higgledy-piggledy.

Let the bout begin(Atiku vs Obj).Lol

I hereby urge Gen IBB to keeg his counsel.

Thats a phenomenal achievement.Well done guys

You can say that again.

His facial outlook has drastically changed over the years.

This report has been debunked by the Ogun state Government.

The chief looter should keep his counsel.

This provides some sort of comic relief.

Until the Easterners who have invaded Lagos like bees are sent home(no offense),the signs remain ominous for Lagos.

The Miníster of Foreign Affairs,Olugbenga Ashiru on Tuesday said Nigerian Missions abroad would henceforth undertake reciprocal treatment regarding the issuance of visas,  Http://odili.net/news/source/2011/jul/27/827.html

The Nigerian Government,along with Nigerians  have a major role to play in develoment of Nigeria.And Nigerians in Diaspora also have a part to play themselves.

Fantastic achievement;We can only get better

Interesting.
