herald9_ na me see you pass o!

How else would they convince us to worship their god without demonizing our gods and adopt their culture degrading our culture(agreed some parts of our culture was just plain shitty). That is a time and time again tried and tested principle. Throw dirt on the competitors/rivals/opposition which makes you either the only available choice

But that was over a hundred years ago. The white man left our shores about fifty years ago. We are the ones destroying our homes with our hands.

They empowered poor people and used them against the enlightened and wealthy people which led to the death of civilisation in Africa...

Cos the poor began to rule and made sure their followers didn't get enlightened..

secretaryabdul:
Otedola and Adenegu are the richest oil tycoon in d country and they are not from the oil producing states either. Pls use brain to think. You are just envious of Dangote.

Na govt runz those guys do and its Adenuga

Na govt give them oil block... If not they will broke a:ss and hustlers

Dangote to na govt runz

alexvatt:
if we tell u that buhary is the best man to rule this country, some people will be opening maggot mouth saying no. buhary has willingly cut his salary up to 50%. yet these idiot call senators can t even cut just 10%. Nigeria will be a better country if we can do away with religion and ethnicity.

It will be better if we embrace ethnicity and education...

Enahi:
Wow Edo State is a fu*king rich state and that dumbo of a governor keeps borrowing money. Osho God is watching you.

That's what happens when a man IMPORTS his wife

AreaFada2:
Nope. South South. Check your geopolitics.

Use your common sense

Nigerian politics is created by corruption
In order to claim more votes and federal allocations Nigerian politics(northern leaders) calls central Nigeria - "NORTH CENTRAL"

Same with Edo... Ijaw calling edo SS is stupid

mcvaeey:
if not that your father is a fool and your mother a prostitute, how can you call edo state a south west state? You igbos are indeed very stupid. I'm not surprised you people are the most insulted and most hated tribe in Nigeria. Edo is pure south south and not south west. Does it pain you that edo state is better than all your south east states put together? If you're going to throw tantrums at any tribe feel to do so. But don't include edo in your stupidity.

I'm not igbo...

Funny, I'm no racist. We had other forms of reading before western education which was sign dependent. Even if we decided to change its name just to deny being taught on how to read and write by Christian missionaries, it still wouldn't take the established truth away.

The great pyramid was built by Africans... Its the oldest building in the world... That's enough evidence to prove where civilisation began...

AreaFada2:
You're right. Volumewise, Edo is highest producer of plantain. Not Osun as someone asserted above. Ask Bunmi/World1 (a guru farmer from Ogun State in Agric section). Followed by Ondo. Edo produces virtually everything in the SE (except coal) and SW: Cocoa, Rubber, Timber, oil palm are very high in production. Lately every farmer seems to have a few acres of oil palm. National Institute for Oil Palm Research (NIFOR) was first set up in Edo before branches elsewhere were etablished.
Cement, bitumen, Crude oil, tomatoes, yam, peanuts, rice and so on are all produced. If not very large but certainly in commercial quantity.

Basically, each State/region produces something and has potential to contribute meaningfully to national growth if we focus on areas of relative strength.

Edo is a SW state

Teempakguy:
and if he does, what will happen? Does it change anything? If dangote was a Yoruba man, would I think he was taking my stuff for free? Then why should I think he is a thief because he is Hausa? Are we all not in the same country?
So what you're saying now is, if I were to buy a huge piece of land in your state, and I discovered gold on every inch of it, I am not allowed to mine my own lands because it's in your state and I am a thief? What sort of thinking is that?

Also, like I earlier said, in the SW, allocations hardly matter. People refine their own roads, provide their own power when possible, and don't take it easy with their government at all. And as is readily seen, SW states are developing at a fast rate. What else do we need a beg?

Once a natural resource is discovered in someones' land it becomes govt property... Once the govt or private company begins primary production.. They must pay tax to the state where the resources are found..

Sanchez01:
I apologize for saying this but the problem of the North is "Islam". This is not a direct attempt to rubbish the religion but the fact that Western education could threaten the belief and practice of the religion has left almost every part of the North in perpetual darkness. The few educated ones among them are hindering others from being educated. They would rather prefer to have them live as peasants.

Ever wondered why there are no Northern innovators? Truth is, there may never be because the Northern powers that be prefer that others serve them rather than serve themselves.

Religion and lack of western education seems to be the problem.

You are also part of the problem...
Stop calling it "western education"..

Education originated from Africa..

Humblega:
imagine OGUN in the same level as south-africa cement production. yet it contribute largely to Cocoa, Cashew, Cassava, timber/wood, Bitumen....................Ogun rock!!!

Kogi, Ogun state needs to be probed

dangote is the richest man in Nigeria due to cement... Yet Ogun and Kogi IGR is not as high as Lagos...

Teempakguy:
The north produces all the food.

The south east receives the highest allocations.

Yet they complain that they are being marginalized and claim that they are being stolen from. While boasting that they feed the whole country.

Fortunately, it is only the fools among them that behave in this manner.

That's what they make it seem like

If you read the article well.. You'll see that Ogun has the largest deposits of resources for cement.. So how is dangote the richest man in Nigeria and why is Ogun IGR not the highest in Nigeria

fashoo2010:
Wow...just that we don't give attention to agriculture again, d north is really leading in agriculture followed by south west.. Only if we can go bak to agriculture, we need to diversify from only oil. The only issue is, everyone is running away from farm work...

I tink d govt need to make agriculture attractive, put some measure in place to maintain d agriculture produce and management of it...

If the north was leading in anything they would never resort to boko haram...

When it comes to Agriculture the central Nigeria and SW are leading..

You sure say the north still dey produce this things...

AdaNri1:
if this is how you judge then you're even a pot calling kettle black. As dull as you are you can't deduce that I was referring to your educational achievements? And you think you're smart? How pathetic!
Move aside fool, the one thing I've come to know in life is that empty vessels make the loudest noise, ;Dyou've just sounded that empty gong. Go and get some home training, you need it. School playground bully. its only in a place like Nigeria that people will like you will open their loud mouths to berate someone for asking a question. I have accorded you far more attention than you deserve and I can see that you have nothing meaningful to do with your time, you'd probably keep going on since you have nothing else to do. Keep going, look for people whom you'll never match academically, intellectually or otherwise and insult, it's ill upbringing so I don't expect anything less. You uncouth petulant scoundrel.

Your parents are failures... They worked so hard yet they birth a dullard you derive joy in cursing and now that your dullness can't understand your stupidity you have started making loud noises you are an empty vessel, a failure, a loser, a wanderer e.t.c..

AdaNri1:
Mr ITK Encyclopaedia upload your certificate let's see.
Since you're so intellectually active show us your achievements. I've asked you to upload that certificate if at all you have any. Or is it not your mates that are thriving worldwide? focus on your future, stop coming to nairaland to look for those you'll insult who have the courage to ask questions that nincompoops like you will not know but would rather die in silence.
its nonentities like you that try to silence our children who are trying to understand the world by making them feel that any question they ask is silly.
You're a very very ignorant boy, go and quickly change that your name because there is no God in you at all. If this is how you behave because someone asked a question then you're evil! The worst part of it is that you know nothing! But you want to feel like you know. I don't feel sorry you for I feel really disappointed at your upbringing. Face your studies in school and try to avoid that third class which is hovering over your head, a word is enough for the wise stop disgracing your parents online.

You're still struggling with school... You're too dull not to know that the question you asked is a secondary school question

You can't answer ordinary secondary school question yourself then you must still be struggling to pass WAEC... Unless you bribed someone cos you are the queen of dullness..

You say I should show you "achievements" is that the best your dull brain can say

Achievements mean cos "we all die in the end"

My upbringing is much better than your hopeless upbringing cos you're born by mistake... That's why you can't understand why your life is messed up...

Your parents taught you to look at other people's achievement cos they knew you'll never achieve anything... They know you're a loser

AdaNri1:
where is your certificate Mr ITK?
For you to resort to cheap insult and vitriol just proved me right all along.
Can't take but can dish it ei mate?
Go back home and get some parental training child, you're clearly still a little boy.

Keep trying to console your sorry a:ss... You're intellectually dormant.. You're a lost soul..

AdaNri1:
youre very quick to pick offence because I pointed out your ill manners. I must have struck a nerve then!
I did not ask you the question specifically, you would have scrolled down if you wanted to but you chose to insult me. You're very good at dishing but not so at taking right?
Next time you see my post better hurriedly scroll past!!
And look who's calling someone a coward? A playground bully like you. Mr ITK

You insulted my parents and you don't expect me to feel offended

You're a coward, dull brain parasite who talks too much who thinks people opposing her views are "ITK"... You have serious comprehension issues...

ECOTERRORS:
Shekau went underground the moment PMB won the elections.


My question is, Was it a pre planned Ops by the northern establishment to rein in BH

You noticed it too. Nice

It means pmb and shekau know each other and recent visits of pmb to chad, Niger, benin, cameroon confirms bh is a northern conspiracy to embezzle more money from SS oil revenue..

gimakon:
From what I see, Idris Debby and his fellow northern cohorts are Boko haram we see. Doing everything in thier power to make sure Nigeria becomes as hungry as they are. Must Islam be as dominant in Nigeria as it is in Chad? What sort of rubbish is this, if I may ask by the way, face it, this fool is indirectly asking Buhari to negotiate, what he didn't get during Jonathan's tenure he's indirectly looking for Buhari to complete it for him.

I'm surprised! We should pray for Nigeria, Buhari must not in the name of this Allah whatever grant a listening ear to people who raped over 200 girls, killed how many people and even today bomb went off again! Buhari, don't be a fool and allow this rags to bring your nation down. Better buy weapons and finish this Bokoharam, after all you promised to wipe them out. You are the president, do your fucki*ng Job, PERIOD.

Its funny how no one and no media outlet has noticed that since pmb resumed as president he has never said one word about INFRASTRUCTURAL development to the north and boosting education in the north..

gimakon:
Story. Two things here

Chad has responsibility of knowing places shekau has been "hiding" Hmmmm and idris debby always speaks for "notice " of Boko haram.
Secondly, Buhari is "moving" to hold negotiations with the Islamic sect as I once heard

I picked those two things, but hence I don't have proof for now, I keep quiet until what I want to hear and see surfaces.

Prayer is what Nigeria needs now.

Also add this... Pmb visits benin republic so that bh can bomb their way into Nigeria through the SW..

AdaNri1:
dont be silly.

You didn't have to reply at all if you didn't have anything good to say. Or didn't your mother teach you that? Smh, all these unruly Ill mannered keyboard urchins in nairaland sha.

You said rubbish... And you're defending your ignorant and rubbish comment...

Don't ever insult someone's parents especially when you don't know the person.. You're the ill-mannered coward here...

ellechrystal:
Gbam.
They should ve created an avenue where people learn how to produce these stuffs, increase power supply which affects production n productivity, work on d transport system to reduce cost of transport, then BAN!!!

By the time your suggestion is done $1 = ₦700..

nymphomaniac:
sorry o but I can't eat made in Nigeria sardine. Some things are not just meant to be produced in Nigeria. Our hygienic standards have to Improve

What makes you think the imported products are hygienic

nymphomaniac:
90 percent of people who commented above me don't understand what the op posted and it's effect on the economy.

There are many illiterate on NL thanks to politics and paid praise singers...

That's why its hard to read sensible and enlightened comments from NL when compared to foreign websites..

AdaNri1:
To avoid rushing into conclusions, what is the aim? Does it increase the value of Naira?

If your brain cannot deduce the aim... If you have a university degree you need to return it...

cococandy:
Oh I thought I was typing something you couldn't understand.
Feeling ke? Oga Dress back.

I can't Oooooo...
That's why I said you're too much...

cococandy:
how

Its an indescribable feeling..

cococandy:
I give up

You're driving me crazy.........

delors:
Mr Statistics. Where did you get these mouth-watering stats from? 60% of this 90% of that. Throwing figures around like say na yam. Do u even understand what income distribution is? What social services n welfare progs are? Smh...some enlightened olodo boku for here.

samsilo:
I often feel like shedding tears when I read the sort of comments I see here . You say Nigeria is rich ??
What is the GDP per capita of Nigeria (less than $6000) , compare with developed countries
How many citizens have access to healthcare clean water or electricity .
I work in healthcare and can tell you many hospitals in the UK have annual budgets close £100 million (please convert to naira)
The fact that the countries wealth is in the hands of less than 5% of the population who live in the cities and can afford a life of luxury seems to fool a lot of us into believing Nigeria is rich

jessymedugu:
...Indices and parameters of evaluating a rich country such as economic advancement, improved social services were lacking.

I wonder if some of the commentators missed out the above passage.....with this, we're educationally poor too.

emmatok:
You forgot that a country riches is not determined by her resources, but by income distribution.

Nigeria is poor, because we don't have better income distribution.

^^^^More PAID e-WARRIORS....
