Very nonsense religion with archaic and anachronistic practices.

Why would Muslim societies choose to be so backwards and refuse to evolve??
Why would they believe that a female is fundamentally inferior to a male and see to suppress that female.

I was really shocked to learn that it is bad for a woman to shake Hands with any male who is not her husband, that is just plain rubbish.
This religion needs to undergo total reformation and refurbishment.

backward religion

Governor condemns push for resource control

By Clara Nwachukwu, Business Editor |   22 September 2020   |   4:20

• Promises tax incentives, others to investors.

As Niger Delta governors continue to push for resource control, their counterparts in the northern region believe current structure, which confers ownership of all natural resources on the Federal Government’s and prescribes the allocation of 13 per cent derivation is most suitable for Nigeria.

Speaking with select editors at the Government House in Lafia, Nasarawa State Capital, Governor Abdullahi Sule, reiterated that he will not support any move toward resource control, while responding to whether he will support a bill to that effect.

He said: “Nasarawa State will not be at the forefront of encouraging the Federal Government to relinquish its ownership of minerals for the states to take ownership. Nasarawa State will not do that. We believe very strongly that it would be disadvantageous to the interest of the nation for Nasarawa State to push for such a move that states should take control, and that is what they call resource control, and Nasarawa State will not be at the forefront of resource control.”

Rather than resource control, Sule advised state governors to push for local content development for their respective resources, which would impact Nigerians and the economy more.


He argued that it was selfish for governors to want to control the natural resources in their domain, saying: “If for our own selfish interest we say: yes, we push for resource control, then how would our neighbours survive? That is the reason why the Federal Government needs to keep the ownership.

“Nasarawa State believes in local content development and local participation and that is what we are trying to drive when it comes to that aspect. And the reason why it (resource control) is bad is because Nigeria is endowed with mineral resources, but they are not in every state. So, if we allow the states, because Nasarawa also has some oil deposits by the way, and so far it has been certified that it is of commercial quantity, and all the minerals you have mentioned. If Nasarawa would say that, how about other states like Taraba, Plateau, and Benue that probably don’t have that, how would they gain?”

As a result, Sule insisted that “It’s better to continue with the federal allocation. Already, the Federal Government is doing a lot by saying there is 13 per cent derivation for the states. Whatever comes from the minerals in your own state, you get the 13 per cent derivation, and that is the reason why today, some of the states, their federal allocation could be as much as N20 billion, and the other states would be as low as N3 billion, because they don’t have the minerals. Those are the kinds of things that I believe we can do. Now, you mentioned the various ones that we have, and I strongly agree with you that we should try as much as possible to develop them, which was why I told you I am participating in the local content seminar, that way, Nigerians should have ownership.”

Meanwhile, the governor has promised investors of many incentives, including tax holidays for investing in Nasarawa State. He also assured them of adequate return on their investments.

Given his background of coming from the private sector, having resigned as the Managing Director of Dangote Sugar Refinery, Sule said: “I come from that background, and understand that background, and would not make life very difficult for an investor. I would make life easy for an investor. I would not allow any investor to stay that number of years without making money. We would find a way for him to make his money, because it is only when he makes his money that we would make our money.”



In regards to the tax holidays, he said his government is willing to negotiate on agreeable terms with investors based on the investment proposals in terms of: “What kind of employment are you going to generate? What kind of corporate social responsibility (CSR) are you providing to the people? In your business plan, you don’t have to tell us your profit; we don’t need to know the exact money, just give us an idea. Then how are you going to affect the environment? What kind of pollution would be there and how would the people be affected.”

He added: “We tell the investors that we know what we are doing, and we tell them that definitely we are interested in their return on investments. If the investors understand that you understand them, and that you are willing to work with them, I think that is an attraction for investments and that’s what we have been doing. We have been able to attract few investments so far, and we believe that we would attract a lot more by the time they know directly where we are going. Recently, I saw on the news the five states that have the highest foreign direct investments, and we were lucky Nasarawa was one of the states that were mentioned. Indeed, we are working to see that we attract some of these investments by providing the investors with what they need because we know what they need.

See as everywhere green ...what are herdsmen looking for in the south ...all the forest and bush for south east and south south no reach Niger half

Someone explain to me please

Because Fulani tribe in general like southern Nigeria because of our weather and rain ,

you can't compare cow feed in the North and in the South , the southern Fulani cow is always very fat and they have enough water to drink in the South than in the North.

when the cow drink much water it's produce more milk.

those green grass you there will vanish from next month because their dry season start next month.

we hardly see rain here in the North.

sometimes rainy season start in June in the North .

that's the fact I got from Miriam my Fulani girl friend

stagger:
Chai!

I still remember one day in my primary school days when I was so hungry and thirsty, and was just walking around the field during break time, only for me to kick sand and see a 10k coin. Bought myself a solid ice cream (those ones they wrap in big waterproof bags) and 2 large size buns.

Today, what are the chances of a child kicking sand and seeing at least N100 note to enjoy such a privilege?

correct bro your talking , in those days we really enjoy

I remembered in 1998. 27 May children day celebration , my father gave me and my younger brother 50naira out anger cuz he didn't want us to attend the children day , I personally refuse to collect the money cuz it's was too small but my brother collect the money.

Meanwhile we have our own 550 Naira that we saved me and brother .

when we get our local government Secretariat I invited 2 of my friends to join us , we eat ice cream, rice and Stew , chinchin, stick meat, fanta, Cooked egg and many more . we couldn't finish the 550Naira i still come back home with change. I can never forget that day enough enjoyment.

Then Naira has value

I still remember I plate of food in the restaurant was 50Naira.

back then Garri was 15 cups for 20Naira

ok noted

chrisagyei:
hahaha,go and build shops for your 200 million Nigerians in Nigeria first before coming to think of millions of Nigerians who escaped hardship from your country to Ghana and broke the trade laws in Ghana. Abuja which you spent billions of dollars to build is a political mini town and white elephant built for your elites and nothing goes on over there except politicians looting your oil money.

In Ghana we have Kumasi which houses the largest market in West Africa and largest spare parts dealership town in West Africa,Accra which has an economy of 35 billion dollars and Tema which houses the second largest port and harbour in West Africa and the largest industrial city in West Africa.Sekondi-Takoradi which houses the second largest port in Ghana,crude oil city and a very huge commercial twin cities.Ghana has a GDP purchasing power of 206 billion dollars thus retailing is the hottest business in town thus your people can't leave since we started closing your shop in 2007.

You guys don't even know Kumasi is the largest populated city in Ghana and is the commercial hub of Ghana.You think Accra is everything in Ghana,you're mistaken.Ghana is diversified. Fix your poverty capital of the world issue,electricity issue,pipe water in every home issue,corruption issue, security issues before thinking of repatrating your citizens cos they will run back again in no short time.In Ghana, no foreigner is supposed to open a shop that's why we intentionally put 1 million dollars as the criteria because no foreign retailer can afford that buh your people still rush here in their thousands to open shops.Ghana has no issue with Nigeria by the way.Peace.

your a fool what are you doing here is this Ghanaian forum
