Look up the name of the DG,you will know why they are at that sorry state.When Murray Bruce ran the place forget his any other shortcomings,the transformation was phenomenal but they havent build on it since he left over about 15 years ago.

HisSexcellency:
Came back this morning from church only to discover that my cable subscription has expired, so i tuned to the only available channel NTA.

I haven't watched NTA for God knows how long now, i was totally disappointed with what was showing on my tv screen, the picture quality and lighting was very poor, audio quality was awful. It was as if i was teleported by to the 1970s or something.

We are in the 21st century for God sake, what will it cost the management of NTA to overhaul the stations. I believe they get budgets annually running into billions. Privately owned and managed tv stations like Channels, Tvc, Arise, Silverbird, AIT, etc are miles ahead of a supposedly more financed NTA. And what's with the archaic dirty brown colour combination, can't the colours of the station be changed to something more appealing and brighter? Or do we need a two- third majority of the national assembly to rebrand NTA.

For over 20 years ministers come and go and no one thought it wise to rebrand the station, if it involves sacking some persons to get the station running let the needful be done. NTA is supposed to be a national brand and pride, but what we currently have today is nothing to write home about.

I couldn't spare 3 minutes to watch the station today because it was a torture to the eyes and sense of good taste.
Let the appropriate persons sit up and save the only national tv we have as at today.

Ogun state second wealthiest in Nigeria;are u smoking crack pipe.With what indices did you adjudged it,federal allocation or IGR?

MetaPhysical:
We are talking about APC and you throw PDP in, the two separate ideologies about social progress are incompatible.

Will you deny that APC enforced discipline in states where primaries held?

APC won smoothly the states that did primaries, the ones that refused had a very tough time reclaiming victory, in fact many of them lost to opposition. Another name for discipline is process or orderliness or structured. Those who love chaos, disorderliness and failure detest when the word discipline is mentioned.

Look at how Amosun ended. He snubbed his nose at party discipline. A very promising Governor, an executive of the second wealthiest state in Nigeria. Squandered his transition.
Compare with Lagos and Ambode's acceptance of party supremacy...the party and Elders of Lagos have met and reconciled with him...in fact they are sponsoring his NextLevel.

Party supremacy and orderliness in People's house is a must!

We must bring discipline to the people's house! Those who do not want an ordered society can step...

Strike Wizkid off that list,guy is barely breaking even and mostly hype too.His sold out concert got him a measly pie as he was seriously ripped off.In the mainstream american music market,his presence is minimal.Billboard is the benchmark and none of his songs have charted there.Please do not come at me with some obscure collaborations.

franchasng:
99% of all so called Nigerian celebrities are broke people just managing to survive but using social media to hype their broke images, yes I speak with authority knowing most of them in reality

The only few Nigerian celebrities doing well are:

1.) Wizkid (he should thank His God he went international and luckily entered American showbiz market

2.) Davido; family wealth + little international penetration

3.) Don Jazzy; his business sense saved him

4.) Psquare before their separation

5.) Flavor; his local shows, thanks to rich Igbos

6.) Genevieve Nnaji

7.) Linda Ikeji; the richest of them all

8.) E-money

9.) Tiwa Savage; thanks to Wizkid's help

Majority of others are struggling, so don't let their showoff online deceive you, focus on whatever you are doing with joy, you are better than most of them

Stop misinformation and always get your facts right.It was Philip Osondu the MVP of the under 17 world cup in 1987 you are trying to refer to here and he is from Aba not Agbor. Nigeria was not banned because of him,it was because of Samson Siasia and co 1985 U-21 set who had many of them with with age discrepancies on official documents when they joined clubs abroad(mostly Belgium then).

TempleHouse:
Have you all forgotten the Nigerian Footballer-Ochendu in 1989 ?
Ochendu represents Nigeria and played for Under 18 in 1988 FIFA WORLD CUP
He was signed by Belgium Club and was advised to wait until he was 20 to play for the First Team
Ochendu then confessed that he was actually 32 years and has two kids in Agbor in Bendel State
The Belgium Club terminated the contract and reported Nigeria to FIFA
Thus the reason Nigeria was suspended and banned in1990 Under 21 World Cup
Very sad that Nigeria have not learnt from Salisu,Ewerem, and now Okebukola episodes.

So you think one million naira loss isn't negligible to a man worth over $10b mr simple interest calculator?

sonnie10:
$10M is about #3.6B (naira)
At 10% interest rate, that would be #360M per annum.
If you divide #360M by 360 ( the one day he had the money in his room), that would be #1M.
Therefore we can comfortably say that he wasted #1M to see his own money in cash.

Dogara is a chrstian,born into ecwa family and now a member of winners chapel.

Sanchez01:
Why do guys sound like this most times? In 2015, we had a Muslim President, a Muslim Senate President and I sure as hell believe Dogara isn't a Christian and the opposition cheered Saraki for nearly four years without considering the all-round Muslim factor. Religion, right now, is your headache rather than candidates that can deliver and do what is expected of them.

Some of you are in a sorry state.

The father is AGF Abdulrazak.Son's name is Abdulrahman

midolian:
Lazy hungry useless bloggers...

The award was meant for Abdulrazak Abdulrahman's father. Abdulrazak collected the award on behalf of his father.

Saraki was there as the Senate President (outgoing) and he had no choice. Stop praising Saraki unnecessarily. If Saraki had his way, he won't even come close to the event

That is your take away from this post.Please broaden your mind.

Shush,nobody is blindfolded in religion.Some people who are faithless still get scammed on romance and business transactions. So dont generalize in your foolishness.

Seetto:
Christianity is a scam..

I hope your head is properly screwed on the neck.Rauf a fellow of FNSE!!!How could that be without a COREN ID just like saying FCA without ACA(ICAN). You obviously did not notice he dropped the Engr title he was using dubiously when he was commissioner in Lagos for ogbeni when he became Osun state Governor after being called out several times to provide his COREN number.Please take your time and dont let real engineers get mad at you.

DTaj:
Hate him or like him, Tinubu is a very impactful leader. I listened to VP Osinbajo's opening remarks about Tinubu before his full speech.

He said that Tinubu was the first Governor to have a cabinet of technocrats from various states in Nigeria. He said Tinubu appointed people based on competence, no matter where they originated.

He listed the following persons:

Ben Akabueze (from Anambra state, a foremost banker, who was MD/CEO of NAL Bank before he was made Commissioner for Economic Planning & Budget);

Dele Alake (from Ekiti state, who was Editor of Concord, one of Nigeria's leading newspapers, before he was appointed Commissioner of Information & Strategy),

Yemi Osinbajo (from Ogun state, who was a Professor of Law and SAN, before he was appointed as Commissioner for Justice);

Rauf Aregbesola (from Osun state, who was a Fellow of Nigerian Society of Engineers, FNSE- the highest professional rank of Engineers in Nigeria- before he was appointed Commissioner of Works);

Worrey (from Delta state, a foremost architect, who was appointed Commissioner for Lands);

Opeyemi Bamidele (from Ekiti state, a young lawyer at the time and National President of NANS, before he was appointed Commissioner for Information), etc.

He may have his issues, like every popular politician does, but he has developed a lot of leaders. I read a book written about him by Kehinde Bamigbetan and I fell in love with Tinubu over and over again.

The world respects men who follow their convictions, fight, earn, and keep. The world does not talk about perpetual critics who have nothing to offer, who have developed nobody!

Lol. Obviously a product of failed parenting.

This Seyi is Politically naive and lacks basic governance knowledge to handle a complex state like Oyo state or Kano State.

He is walking into one of the toughest territory in Nigeria


NURTW thugs are already regrouping,

LAUTECH are already reminding him of his promise to reduce tuition, and use dwidling Nigerdelta oil allocation to pay their lecturers and all other schooling expenses

PARENTS are already waiting for him to end the #3000 yearly pupil developmental levy and handle all school renovation and teachers salary with the same Nigerdelta oil allocation money.

PEOPLE are already reminding him of his promise to cancel waste management and dispossal fee , secuirity levy and other Internally Generated Revenue strategy

ABOVE all APC would make sure he meets an empty coffers and the 2 out of 3 senators and 7.out of 8 federal rep of APC would block all avenue for a foreign loan

Secondary school drop out.Kwara has entered another phase of servitude.

damilare442:
The Kwara State governor-elect, Alhaji AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has bid the business community farewell as he prepares to take up the mantle of leadership. AbdulRazaq who has enjoyed huge success in business for over two decades was elected governor on 9th of March 2019 and will be taking a bow out of business to focus solely on governance.

The Investors/CEO meeting at Rwanda will likely be his last business engagement before his official swearing in ceremony on the 29th of May. The governor-elect who is a successful business man has been tipped by many to turn the fortune of the state around with his wealth of experience in his personal business that has survived for years.

The Kwara governor-elect, Alh. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq who is in Rwanda to attend the Africa CEO Forum which is scheduled to hold from March 25 - 26, in Kigali. He will be saying farewell to colleagues and simultaneously seeking investors who can help boost businesses in Kwara state and create job opportunities across key sectors in the state.

AbdulRazaq who is a successful businessman prior to joining politics made provision of jobs and revitalization of the economy of Kwara State central in his campaign. With the abundance of both human and nonhuman resources situated in the state, it won't take much of time to reposition the state back to the right path.

Now that he has secured the top job, he has swung into action in a bid to keep to his words and bring the much needed change to the state. AbdulRazaq believes having the private sector on board will ease the affairs of the state and open a window of opportunity for others to thrive has highlighted strategic sectors that can boost the fortune of the state upon assumption of office.

The summit will have in attendance lots of successful business people across the continent with other business mogul across Europe, America and Asia continent.

Are u happy now after posting this?If so clap for yourself.

SEONaijaExpert:
Onnoghen is only trying to delay justice with his recent tactics. He can't escape what's coming at him.

He's a fraud to the judiciary system and more revelations keeps indicting him.

I think you should even beatify Tinubu to make him Saint of the highest order.This is somebody that got two of his deputies impeached unnecessarily. All the guys that stood for/by him in his certificates forgery cases have been discarded by him.

iammo:


Shout out to Tinubu, the only 1999 ex governor that wants the growth and progress of all his sorbodinates, cabinet members and political associates... all others like Saraki (pullling his father and sister down) Apkabio (almost ruining Udom) Kwankwaso (trying hard to destroy his friend ganduje) are with the pull them down spirit,

How did he demystify Abacha when he ran away to London on exile and came back broke.I blame Pa Adebanjo who compensated him with the AD ticket.

zoedew:
Work hard. Be courageous. Successfully dare and demystify an Abacha and an Obasanjo. Be a strategist. Think ahead of turncoats in your ethnic nationality. Look out for and empower the promising. Amass and replenish a cash war chest. You’ll have your own “colony” as well anywhere you please! Your time begins NOW!

Dont die of ignorance.He was a non executive director in Guinness as far back as 1998.If not that I saw it on my bros Guiness employment letter,would have been difficult for me to believe. He might not be successful academically but he made it in business.

Jiang:
While I agree people should be allowed to be ruled by thier choice, But don't lie, thier is nothing successful about the dancing fat ass, if his brother hasn't died, we won't even have heard of him. He is just riding on his bros accomplishments.


Osun people should be allowed thier choice & enjoy thier regrets or happiness themselves

OMG,Lauryn Hill won the highest number of grammy awards(5) by a woman in a single night.Yet this dude wanna dismiss her as a run of the mill musician.Yeah,she might have her head done due to drugs and wrong associations but that can never diminish her legendary status.Tell me how many grammys Wycleff won with those commercial songs he did in early millenium.The three grammys he won(jointl) has Lauryn Hill's efforts and inimitable voice on them.How can 3 be greater than 8

grandstar:
A bad workman blames his tools or 2face in this instance.

Why don't you produce a best selling album like 2face did? That really is the solution. If 2face should die now, who would you blame?

This reminds me of the Fugees. As a group, they came out with great songs.

Then they split up. Only Wyclef kept coming out with hits after hits.

As for Mama Zion and the other guy,they came out with 1 great song each, and they faded out.

Wyclef was 99% of the Fugees no wonder why he left

2face likewise and since their breakup, only he has succeeded while the other 2 have now faded out.

If you aren't a good songwriter, then buy songs from great songwriters. Don't blow all your money on women, booze and fast cars and then squander the rest ( tribute to George Best) .

It is rumoured Rihanna's songs are from songwriters for instance
That hasn't stopped her from topping the chats and from being one of the top 5 female singers in America!

So Cassius Clay a.k.a Mohammed Alli who was already preparing for 1964 Okympics was born in 1962? Wonders shall never end.

sammyironside:
You said it all. Do you know the same thing happened between Muhammed Ali and Joe Frazier. Joe carried the bitterness and anger against Ali to his grave. They where once good friends until Ali called Joe a a gorrila before there 1st fight just for publicity. Joe Frazier took this so serious and hated Ali till his death. Even though Ali apologized several times and even tendered an apology in one of the national newspapers. But he refused to forgive and mocked Ali when he had Parkinson's disease claiming God was punishing Muhammed Ali. When all said and done. Joe Frazier who was born in 1964 died in 2011 before Muhammed Ali who was born in 1962 died in 2016. Frazier even in his old age refused to forgive Ali and went to his grave with all that bitterness and anger earlier than Muhammed Ali who is even older than he his. I pray blackface realise life is too short and forgive 2baba and move on before its too late. He cannot make heaven if he dies with all that bitterness.

He has used that humility to cover many of his shortcomings.To be honest he is not a benevolent guy and totally forgot this guy who not only brought him and housed him in his uncle's house in Festac Lagos but was a major pillar in fulfilling Tuface's music dream.

comshots:
Make he pay blackface 2m the matter go resolve.I don hear am from former workers of 2baba for rumours club for gra,ikeja say the guy stingy pass buhari and okocha.

Stop writing thesis cos of this post.How many countries in Africa are buying your fuel.Ghana still have backlog of arrears to settle us for gas shipments to them.By the way how many cars and industries are in subsaharan Africa to sustain . our income from fossil fuel at this present level

Asour:
Ok. But You didn't answer the questions of CURRENT technical limitations and financial viability of Electrical Vehicles.

e.g. Can ANY family in ANY part of Africa(Perharps the world) today currently survive totally/exclusively on EVs yet? Can the average family afford the same?

Depending on how volatile an industry is, what constitutes your largest customers could change quite easily.
Across the world, the emergence of e-commerce was supposed to decimate the Postal services industry, Today, it appears to be its largest customers.

How many companies in the world do you reckon are up to 150 years in their original forms?

Natural a company would have to evolve oil or no oil.
Are you prescient enough to know that the alternative uses would not be abundant enough? I am not though. I am not against EVs or I am not necessarily in support of Big oil I am just saying that if 'green' alternatives present themselves as technically superior and financially viable alternatives, people would rush to them. they don't have to give oil a bad name in other to sell themselves.
Sell on the value of you not only on the demerit of another. that's more sustainable.

Over the last 12 years gas companies have sold themselves as better alternatives to firewood & kerosine to women(more like a more upwardly mobile lifestyle alternative). The penetration of cooking is growing rapidly BUT are there women who still use kero? Of course. Is it cheaper? Definitely (as at today). when gas becomes cheaper to use you don't have to tell those women to change.

Again selling on one's own merit is a more effective/sustainable strategy more often than not. Let customers/markets be the judge.

One does not need the gift of clairvoyance to know there is no future in fossil fuel.Your biggest customers will not need it anymore so tell me the need to keep investing in its value chain.You are talking of alternative uses that cant fetch any reasonable fx to keep the country running. Well typical of africans,that future unprepared for even if it is 150 years will hit you within a twinkling of an eyes and you will be thoroughly exposed.

Asour:
Fossil oil has no future? I don't know what future means 10/20 years? I doubt it. 30/50 years? maybe.

I am not at all an expert but what's the proportion of EVs to total Cars in the world over the last 10 years? How many people currently own just EVs? how viable is the most cost effective long-range EVs over it's life cycle?

Is the Issue of range anxiety still prevalent among EVs?

In gas for instance what's the gas use penetration rate in Nigeria? How is the Huge demand for energy/power from EVs use going to be filled sustainably (greenly)?

Are there other potentially useful applications for fossil fuel derivatives not currently obvious ?

When the cost of fossil fuel drops, without government interventions/taxes, would it become more cost effective to to generate Power from fossil fuels?

Again I don't know the answer(s) to these but I have the feeling these would shape the economic viability of the 'greener' alternatives.
At the end of the day, it looks like economics is usually right.

Welldone hypeman,proud and happy to declare a former CBN deputy governor a billionaire.The sign of everything wrong with Nigeria.

maidstone:
I went for my favourite Amala and Abula session at Skylolo, Sky Bank, Bodija, Ibadan. I made my order and thereafter sat down comfortably to devour my well garnished bowl of Amala delicacy.

Midway through my meal, a man joined the table and sat down directly opposite me, he was making a call and talking about travelling to the UK next week to spend time with his children. I looked up, and looked again, lo and behold, it was Chief Bayo Adelabu.

I couldn't believe it. I shrugged. "it can't be the man" - I confidently said to myself. I decided to look again and, this time, I was pretty convinced it was him. I then decided to bell the cat. I asked him without further hesitation: are you Chief Bayo Adelabu? He promptly said yes and nodded at the same time. I was taken aback, albeit pleasantly. I told him I was surprised to see him sit down with us in a Buka like that, without any security personnel milling around. He appeared so simple, so friendly and so pro-people. I told him right there that I couldn't believe the fact that I was sitting directly opposite a former CBN Deputy Governor, a billionaire and a man who had just lost the a keenly-contested governorship contest, barely a week ago. I enjoined him to keep it up.

That, with time, people will definitely take to him and his simple lifestyle. That the people already love him. That he lost the election for reasons that are not his fault in any way. At this stage, other revellers came close, hugged him, took pictures with him and wished him well in his future ambition. I was about to leave after all this when he pulled me back and asked for my phone number. Waoh! I was like "really"? Me? We immediately exchanged numbers.

Suffice it to say that this man is simple to his bone marrow. He is definitely a born leader. A man of the people without a hair of arrogance or greed. He is definitely one for the future. I am still surprised he was that simple and down to earth. I love him wholeheartedly. Kudos, sir!

Your education is not a waste.I guess Dangote is targeting fertilizer cos fossil oil has no future.

The environmental impact of producing those petrochemicals is even greater than that of just refining crude.
