I guess I should not be exchanging words with low lives like you. You are fighting desperately for attention, but you know what? You are just a nonentity. No one even cares about this thrash you put up and called it a thread. This thread is going down the drain as against your front page ambition.

Lol... Very emotional explanation.

Do you really know about network location?

Do you know that softwerk and sorfttwerk were created from the same location?

If I were you, I will just calm down. I don't wana stress this issue.

Stay cool bro.

sgtponzihater1:
I sincerely think ponziponzi is doing a great job. These Ponzi schemes owners are mostly heartless scammers. I remember very clearly how MMM said there'll be a December bonus of I think 40%, people rushed to put millions to benefit from the bounty. Then days later the system crashed. They maximised the gains then, and termed it freeze, other Ponzi sites call it maintainance, while other outrightly blame unseen enemies like Ponzi hater. Good bless you Ponzi Ponzi at least you are warning people before it happens, unlike another analyst who comes to paint sweet sounding words immediately the system crashes.

MMM will crash in weeks, and don't ever say u weren't warned.

Shun Ponzi Schemes.

Innovate

For those of us who were born before 1966, we remember that Western Nigeria had its Constitution, the North had its own Constitution, and the East had its own Constitution

He wants to live in 1966 and continue the same ideas that did not work then, now. Europe created the EU not becauae they are unity beggars as our unemployed ipob brothers will chant because they know there is strength in numbers and they understand that through these bandying together they will be better placed to compete in the global market. But we see a situation were failure in 2015 elections has become a basis for restructuring a country. Such emotional reactions clearly indicates unintelligence of the most lowest kind.

SBG04:
I've read some disgraceful comments here. We have a former NERC regulator who is admitting that he authorised the reversal in electricity tariffs when Gencos especially were complaining of foreign exchange losses everyday. There was So much debt hanging around the Discos and Gencos as at the time the APC government came in. Minister Fashola recently facilitated the emergence of a N700 Billion emergency cash injection for the power sector in Nigeria. Why? Because tariffs were low and Gencos were not getting any remittance from the Discos. Discos were complaining that they are getting little from consumers because the tariffs were low. And yet we have the ex chair of the regulatory agency coming out to admit he sabotaged the power sector by approving the reducition of tariffs and starving the sector of funds. And some idiots here who have absolutely no idea of what is going on are here calling Fashola names instead of condemning the idiot Amadi. Forgetting that there was no economic, technical or sensible reason for reducing tariffs when they were reduced. It was purely political.
Shameless country!

darealaman:
Thanks for the comments,I have to inform you that we lost the expected baby yesterday,we just saw bloods coming out of my wife private part yesterday,immediately we went to our doctor and which they immediately took her for vaginal scan,then they discover we lost the baby .

They said something like an incomplete abortion was observe.Though we are been told that we have no problem of future pregnancy..She is on medication now..

I guess when our doctor say's she is good to go for sex soon we shall keep trying and hoping for the best ..

But have you in anyway heard of this kind of our scenario whereas the couple next pregnancy went well all through .?

It’s funny to think citizens of a country would have misconceptions about their country but for a country like Nigeria with diversity in religion, culture, language, ethics and even dialect, it’s not totally impossible for misconceptions about certain parts, or people of different cultures to occur.

Here are some of the 5 most common misconceptions Nigerians have about Nigeria.

1. Nigeria is a very Rich Country : I’m sure we all must have thought about this at one point or the other in our lives as a Nigerian and come to the conclusion that if only we had good leaders, we would be one of the greatest countries in the world by virtue of how rich we are, however, this is not totally the case. Nigeria like any country in the world, has the potential to become one of the greatest countries in the world, but as of now, we are not as rich as we think we are. I once had a discussion with a friend who said Nigeria ought to be rich like the Persian Gulf countries he even made a statement which is quite common among us Nigerians – “Is it not the same oil that the UAE has that we have”. Well this is true but when you compare the amount of oil produced in relation to the population it’s supposed to cater for, we are not making as much income compared to other oil exporting countries. A 2015 study among oil producing countries proves that Nigeria produces 0.02 barrels per person per day while Qatar produces 0.74 barrels per person, per day.

below is a chart showing oil exporting countries according to their per capita oil production
https://i0.wp.com/rave.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/per-capita-oil-chart.jpg?w=500


2. Lagos is the one of the biggest cities in Nigeria : Most Nigerians generally assume Lagos being a city with the highest population and most housing and transport infrastructure, is one of the biggest states and city to live in. This is not true and in fact, an irony, as Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria. To put in practical terms, you can cut out the entire land mass of the state of Lagos more than 23 times from that of Niger State.

3. Nigeria is one of the most corrupt countries in the world!: he he he, I have to let out a little giggle at this point. So why is this a misconception? Well, a lot might be mismanaged in terms of public funds which causes an uneven distribution of National wealth, but it would be nice to know that Nigeria doesn't even make the Top 20 among the most corrupt countries in Africa nor did we make the Top 100 in the world according to Transparency International, an organization devoted to studying how countries around the world fair in terms of corruption.

4. Nigeria only exports Crude Oil: This is another common misconception that sometimes fuel uprisings and militant activities and encourage illegal sabotage of Oil exploration machinery which leads to economic unrest. However, Nigeria is currently the 49th largest export economy in the world and some of our major exports aside oil, include: Ginger (This is one of the most traded spices in the world which Nigeria happens to be among the largest producers), Palm Kernel Oil, Textiles and Garments, Cocoa Butter, Gallstone, Rubber, Sesame Seed, Honey, Snail, Poultry, Cosmetics and Soaps, Fruit Juice, etc.

5. Northern Nigeria Speaks only the Hausa Language: Most Nigerians are aware of the diversity in Language and culture across various parts of the country however there’s a bias of interest if you don’t belong to the Language or culture being spoken about. Most southerners believe Hausa is the only language in the North and think that it’s part of the reason they’re so united along political and religious lines, let me break it to you, there are over 300 active languages being spoken in Nothern Nigeria some of which include: Gbedde, Bachama, Banso, Batta, Baya, Bilei, Bille, Botlere, Botlere, Bura, Bwatiye, Bwazza, Daba, Daka, Ga’anda, Gira, Gizigz, Gombi, Gude, Gudu,Gwa, Gwamba, Ichen, Jibu, Kambu, Lala, Mambilla, Margi, Matakam, , Shuwa, etc.

So there you have it, these are some of the most common misconceptions Nigerians have about their country.

Ehiscotch:
When a bunch of idiots are in our judiciary?

Ehiscotch:
I admit reading a bit part of the article before commenting. But I still maintain my stand on the fact about Fashola being right about the decision being a poor one. Even Sam Amadi is also admitting a bit of guilt:
" I am prepared to take slacks for any
intended or unintended consequences of that
decision as the Chairman and Chief Executive of
NERC. I still strongly believe that my reading of
effective regulation confirms that it was a good
decision to internalise efficiency in the distribution
segment of the electricity industry.”

austyn0:
Laughs,, whites and terrible jokes,, if this event turns out successful the next step would be creating a human.

Biafman:
Sabotuers. What have your people gained from creating Rivers state out of your evil desire to sabotage and spite Biafrans.

Warship:
Do yourself a favour before destroying yourself


Go to God in prayers and ask Him His view concerning Biafra and IPOB so that you don't end up going against a movement instituted by God


Remember those who opposed Moses and how they perish


Wise people seek God's face concerning matters like this in order not to be on the wrong side of life



If you continue like this without consulting God's view, mark these words below


BIAFRA WILL NEVER FAVOUR YOU IN ALL YOUR ENDEAVORS.

greatiyk4u:
It is obvious you don't know the duty of power Minister, you think he is there to directly make sure you get constant electricty


Power generation and distribution have be privatized now in Nigeria, so they are some peoples business not Govt, though Government handles transmission, the ministers job now is more of regulation just like the communication ministry does to our network providers

Can't remember when last you blamed Communications minister for Poor network from Glo, MTN, etc


Once Nigerians like you are ready to pay for power, they will get it......have you ever wondered some enjoy upto 12hrs light daily? They pay as they use

cumbak60:
South South is not an ethnic group. The group you listed is far from been related to Igbos in any way, and Igbos have never claimed them, except you are trying to be mischievous. These are the few groups that are related to the Igbos, Ikwerre, Etche, Anioma, Asa/Ndoki etc. Google is your friend . However, Igbos are not after any oil, as some part of S'East are endowed with oil already. Besides, oil is soon going to run out of value... Igbos are only interested in their Igboid brothers down S'South should the country split.

#BIAFRAISASTATEOFBEING
Until we have achieved that state of being, the desired geopolitical region remains at risk. So we must pursue both tasks together.

And the State of Being is as follows:
We have to do as the Catalonians do in Spain.
When they realized that the Castelianos (Madrid) will never voluntarily or easily give them Independencia, the Catalonians (Barcelona) decided to turn inwards and develop their region Technologically, Economically and Infrastructurally - and now they are the economic powerhouse of Spain.

The same thing is with Bayern in Germany. When Germany was declaring itself as a nation, Bayern (Bavaria) had the choice to stay out and be a country on its own (like Austria did) . Instead it opted to stay within a greater Germany and become it's best part. Today Bavaria is the most technologically and economically powerful region in Germany - and it has the whole of Germany now as its primary and biggest market.

The same thing is with California in the USA.
It's not only the biggest economy WITHIN the US, it's also the 6th largest economy in the World!
However, this is only because it is within the US and can leverage on all the synergies that come with that, that it can be so powerful.
If it were suddenly to try to break away overnight stand alone, as a competitor against the rest of the US, things would not be so easy.

Nigeria does not fear IPOB as is. Infact they WANT IPOB to challenge them, so they can militarily wage war on the Igbos.
IPOB at present is not the Biafra that Nigeria fears.
They fear the Biafra that becomes like Catalonia, like Bavaria, like California.
That's the Biafra they fear.
So they NEED this militant IPOB to give them an excuse to come and reduce Ala-Igbo to a wasteland again and turn back the hands of our clock once more to Zero, like they did in the last Civil War.
Even if we don't want and don't start any hostilities, they will use the slightest excuse or provocation or accident to send in their troops. Britain will support them and in the end USA will establish a military base in Igbo Land, to keep the peace. And that is how we will become occupied territory.

We have to be smart, and shift the battle to the field where we can win.

What I am saying is this: yes we will continue to ask for Referendum, like Catalonia does in Spain, like Scotland does in Great Britain.
But it is not Referendum that will give us the Biafra we need. And of course It is not guns that will give us Biafra, that we know.
As Igbos we have to conquer our chronic Individualism - and we have to pool our wealth, intelligence and efforts together to turn Ala-Igbo into a First World region, right here and now. But this is the most difficult thing for us because we are individualists! It is easier to protest.

The second point is: Our Governors. As much as we don't like them, we have to work on them and with them.

If IPOB mobilises the people against the Governors, the same way it is mobilising them against the Federal Govt, you will see how fast things will change.
What will the governors do? Start shooting their own people? If any governor does that, where will that governor run to hide from the people's revenge? They have nowhere to hide. Your state is your home - so they MUST listen to the people. If the people are united. And IPOB can unite the people because IPOB is very powerful and MUST start DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILITY from EVERY elected official in the south east.

Demand that they invest in INFRASTRUCTURES. Roads and transportation. Potable water. Drainage systems. Housing. Health. Education. Tax breaks for small businesses. Regional economic integration. Constitute expert groups accross every field from within and the diaspora to develop and advice on the framework for regional development.

Instead of going to Abuja, the Governors should come together, put money together from their budget and start building a second Niger Bridge. Start dredging the river Niger at Onitcha. Start developing the dry port at Abia. Start NOW and make it mandatory that EVERY south east governor prioritize regional integration. Taxes and tarrifs for business MUST come down to encourage investors.

Computer Village in Lagos is full of Igbos.
The governors and leadership should put their moneys together and build TECHNOLOGY TOWN in Aba.

Put their money together and elevate Enugu Airport to a level HIGHER than Lagos or Abuja airport.
Things like that. Developing the Owerri Airport to a full international cargo airport and take advantage of the central location of Owerri in the south east. Quality educational institutions are lacking in the east even though we constantly produce the highest number of aplicants to universities. Lets build more by collaboration with our foreign diaspora. They're the best in many parts of the world. Lets harness this advantage.

We need a world class Stock Exchange in Ala-Igbo. We can achieve that without the fed govt, because we own trading. Encourage our diaspora to work with govt to establish and run quality world class health care institutions in Ala-Igbo.

IPOB has already come up with a blueprint for an Igbo-wide democratic customary govt, the people's govt, very republican in nature, and this is good. This is power. Ironically, it might even be according to the nigerian constitution. If peacefully achieved, this can be the leverage with which to control the elected executive and legislative levels, if Nigeria stays together. And if Nigeria falls apart, then automatically we already have a framework state in operation.

However, IPOB must win igbo people over by championing their welfare with their own governors and elected officials. Threaten them with no re-election and criminal prosecution if they fail to serve their people. They must also encourage the training, standardization, integration and sharing of information by the different state security groups to stamp out crimes like robbery, kidnapping, human trafficking, etc. We are igbo. We are in the communities and we know those who are into crime. People MUST start explaining their sources of wealth. IPOB can utilize its huge following to ensure crime is wiped out and good governance is entrenched in the south east. Then IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu will forever be a hero who will be remembered kindly by history.

If we are doing things like all this, Arewa will not need to issue quit notice - Igbos will come back in droves to build up Alaigbo.

The Igbo governors can execute and implement ANTI-OPEN-GRAZING LAWS in their states, and call on all indigenes and state security groups to participate in monitoring it.
This will empower all Igbos and we will rid ourselves of these Fulani Herdsmen in no time.
This is priority. Every passing day is too much.

Ekiti State did it.
Benue State has done it.
It's not impossible.
Why cannot the States of the South-East ALL do it as ONE?
Anti Grazing Law.
This will shake the Nigerian Govt more than asking for referendum.

IPOB has power. If they use it wisely they can bring about tremendous change in Ala-Igbo without a single drop of blood shed. They are uniquely positioned by God at this period in time to use their massive following and break the individualistic igbo trait to bring about change that will positively shape igbo history for generations. If they misuse it by going the route of war, that didnt work decades ago, then it would be a great loss indeed.

If Nigeria stays together, we Ala-Igbo can become the most advanced region of Nigeria if we START NOW.
If Nigeria breaks up, we have to be ready to survive on our own. And at this moment, we are not yet ready. This is where we need to put our eyes into. Because the ball is already rolling.

What we want is for people to come and start investing in Ala-Igbo, from all over the world. They will do this massively if they see the political will and infrastructures being laid down in Ala-Igbo.
If that happens, everybody will protect Igbo land. Biafra will grow from within. Let Nnamdi Kanu, all Igbo leaders and thinkers read this and run with it.

I'm sending this to you do you can spread it to Ndigbo who are amongst your contacts so that this consciousness can spread and be built on. Lets develop Ala-Igbo from within.
