Why did Indians give Baba Buhari Indian hemp?

If SI units for these measurements were name after the under-listed fellows, who do we name the S.I unit for corruption to and what is that unit.

André-Marie Ampère was a French physicist and mathematician.
The SI unit of measurement of electric current, the ampere, was named after him.

Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta was an Italian physicist.
The SI unit of measurement of electric voltage, the volt, was named after him.

Georg Simon Ohm was a German physicist and mathematician.
The SI unit of measurement of electric resistance, the ohm, was named after him.

James Watt was a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer.
The SI unit of measurement of electric wattage (power), the watt, was named after him.
The unit of pressure is named after Blaise Pascal, so its symbol is written "Pa" whereas the unit itself is written "pascal".

Ministers Confirmed, Saraki acquitted, War on Corruption dead. #businessasusual.

Make I go change from MTN now, because na customer head them to use pay this fine ooo.

This survivor just did what basic training on helicopter ditching stipulates. Don't panic, release seat belt, get out of the cabin and inflate the life vest. That voice is the re echoing of the safety video they watched before boarding the helicopter.
Please don't get me wrong, i believe in God's power, however paying attention to little safety tips can save life. not holy water.
I am a regular flyer with this same helicopter.
So unfortunate that mechanical fault developed minutes from landing.
May God keep the souls of the departed.

This is from one Okechukwu. Read his views.


So recent Biafran protests have got me thinking, but I have been skeptical about airing my views because of perceived reactions.

DISCLAIMER: THESE ARE PERSONAL VIEWS, AND I, IN NO WAY CLAIM SUPREMACY OF KNOWLEDGE. FOR THE "GREYS" WHO THINK I AM TOO YOUNG TO SPEAK OF THIS SUBJECT, PLEASE PERMIT THIS CHILD TO SPEAK, THEN CORRECT HIM IF HE IS WRONG. FOR IGNORANCE CAN ONLY BE KNOWN IF IT IS AIRED, AND CAN ONLY BE CORRECTED IF IT IS KNOWN.

My points are as follows:

1. According to worldometers the median age of Nigeria is 17.8, hence an "average " did not experience the civil war.

2.This is the age statistics of Nigeria as at 2014 is as follows:
0-14 years: 43.2%
15-24 years: 19.3%
25-54 years: 30.5%
55-64 years: 3.9%
65 years and over: 3.1% (indexmundi.com)
In simpler statistics 93% of Nigerians were 5 and below in 1967.

3. According to Wikipedia, youth age range is between 18-35. Hence no present day Nigerian youth saw the civil war.

My first question: since over 90% percent of us neither saw the civil war nor participated actively, and our youth were born 10 years after the war, where is all the hate and agitation from?

4. The major driving force of Biafra is the igboland, but the Biafran map includes states like Cross river, Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom state. This makes Biafra a culturally diverse state. I am igbo and i currently live in Akwa Ibom state, and we share no similarity in custom or language. How then can we live together as "one Biafra" when we can't tolerate the cultural diversity of Nigeria.

5. The Igbo tribe would become the majority tribe in Biafra, while the others who constitute the oil producing states hence the 'rich boys' would become minority. "How can the wealth most especially that from oil be distributed, when the majority is in power and the minority have the resource?"
So therefore, a time may come when the "minority" may decide to be free, because no man wants to live in another man's shadow.

6. Igbos are generally regarded as traders, and the lifeblood of their markets like Onitsha Main market and Ariaria international market is found in Lagos seaport where most of the goods come from. In Biafra, Lagos becomes another country hence tax and import/ export levies would increase drastically and logistics would become more difficult.
The other option is to trade via the Calabar Port, Delta Port or Rivers Port at Port Harcourt, and Onne. These ports are only found in the non-igbo states, hence another potential challenge.

7. What happens to Biafrans that have their livelihood rooted deeply in non biafran states? What happens to the igbos that constitute the majority of Alaba international market?
Would naturalization take place or would they liquidate assets and return to Biafra and start afresh?

8. Finally, the question of rulership. Who rules Biafra?
Currently, most Igbo people especially those in Abia and Imo state are dissatisfied with the condition of their states. They complain of bad government, massive looting, poor infrastructures etc, and they are currently ruled by Igbo governors.
If Biafra is formed who would rule then?
I believe it would be the same people that they complain of, and as you can see the cycle of pain and complaints would continue.

Problems are fixed by inward reflections not outward projections and blame shifting.

PLEASE BEAR WITH ME, FOR A CHILD WHO DID NOT SEE THE WAR HAS SPOKEN.

not interesting again, Ameachi made it interesting.

And we are importing ARMs to fight Boko Haram? Govt. should do what is done in other countries, get these guys, equip and train them and we advance in Made in Nigeria weapon. Do not brand them with any ethnic tag.

''Corruption is a wide concept and very difficult to define. If a girl after having sex with a man gets favor in return, that is corruption" - Rotimi Ameachi.

''Stealing is not corruption" - GEJ.

''I did not sign any cheque as governor, why ask me of 78 million contract that i sign no cheque'' - Fashola

''This issue of corruption is a whole thing that starts from the oath taking of public officials, if you read the content of the oath of office and the oath of allegiance which are supposed to be in line with the fulfillment of the implementation of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria''- Sarah Jubril.

2. The bank female marketer that sleep with top CEO to take get the account to her bank, is corrupt and the CEO corrupt.

He had the pipeline supply issue in mind there . . .

There is no free oil.

Eliminate such issues by going back to basic economic principle, nearness to source of raw material. There is no sense installing those modular refineries away from source of feed stock. the max should be 10km

Now, we have well over 30 modular refineries, so we think a lot of modular refineries would come. Many of them, their major concern is feed stock, are we going to be guaranteed feed stock?

This is where the scam lies. how do you want govt. to guarantee you feed stock? that is asking for free crude allocation which has been the practice over the years with our 3 refineries.
My take is that a true investor should be ready to buy Nigerian crude at the current market price and refine. It will safe us the trouble of looking for international buyers.

EFCC lawer showed up in the case that does not involve them. Sahara and lies. You for tell me that CCB lawyer showed up not EFCC

Ameachi looking nervous and humble

Celebrating then hours later Appealing the judgement.

Judgement delivered PDP wins again in Akwa Ibom. 22/22. Akwa Ibom confirmed PDP state

I urge the number one corrupt Akwa Ibom man to go home and quietly hide in his community, because Mr integïty (Buhari knows the corruption in him) Allow Mr Integity Udom Emmanuel to rule. Because integrity in Buhari meets Mr integrity in Udom and Akwa Ibom wins.
Congrats Udom Win

Judgement delivered Udom Win

Udom Wins

Bonapart:
In next 6yrs, he will turn 17. Luckily he will get Eaglet call up and some fools on nairaland will start screaming over age

Guy in 6years if called up to U17 team, in England or Nigeria his birth cert, and birth place can be verified as his records in the UK hospital, his birth place will confirm his true age. But l bet you so old men with age declaration claming not birth registration was done for them in the 21st century will constitute 90% of Nigeria team

He said lobbying will intensify, a lot of give and take within the next 2 days and he hope to win over PDP support for his screening to be possible.

Your husband has drop his comment on this thread, condeming the man that treat women this way. Unknowingly talking to himself

na me una dey talk to?

Ameachi ought to take a bow in view of his past records - Ndume. Be it past corrupt records as presented by his state or past incorruptible records still not presented by his party. He should take a bow. Naija I hail thee

Finally EFCC fail to arrest Ameachi over #52B Rivers state money. The yet to be abreaking news YTBABN is the title of this thread.

Ameachi over to you, honour EFCC invite and explain yourself if your hands are clean like Akpabio's hand.

Ameachi the saint escorted EFCC to arrest Akpabio the criminal. This is how to fight corruption.

point of correction, a whitsel blower obtained court injunction not PDP.

Op comot your eye from my sweetheart ooo

That is part of the bargaining going on to allow Ameachi pass as Minister.
Political infants on nairaland will be here fighting each other.
