I bet you feel smarter after making that statement, how dumb! Now let me put it to you, believe me when I say that your people need more hugs.. Desperately! Do you know how many madness it will cure? Instead of adopting the ills of other cultures, why not adopt the good ones? Hugging is intimate! It has the power to heal; it produces oxytocin, which is very good for the body. A great deal of Nigerians need some oxytocin running through their body to cure their madness; caused by the daily struggle, politics, and so on. Hugs are NOT just meant to be something between man n wife. No just something to be sexualized by people who are greedy with everything! It's a way of showing SYMPATHy( I bet a lot of y'all don't know the meaning). A hug demonstrates emotional warmth. What's the evil in a married woman sharing this affection? Go look at the lives of people with the culture of Hugging, and compare it to the lives of your people..very huge difference. People who hug others are happy people. Life is not about sexualizing everything. Life is not just about taking, it's also about giving! So don't serve your bullshiit. Every person I. Their right mind, know the difference between sex and a hug, again spare me that non sense...stop trying to score cheap points with such a stupid and heinous argument. With all due respect, go back to your cave or shape up!

you maybe be right but oxytocin also makes people horney hence its better to avoid hugging people wife /husband.
Meanwhile since you know majority of african men (and women too) frown against it why dont you respet the man that married you and stay away from such act , a simple hand shake is enough to greet any man that is not your husband and im sure the man wont be expecting more than a handshake .

funny country

something is wrong with that massob guy ,a major ethnic group crying like sissies i wonder how igbos feel being constantly embarrased by this man's commnents



[size=18pt]The group said the directive would afford Ndigbo the opportunity to critically reflect on their fate in the Nigerian project, especially over the suppression of the Igbo.
[/size]

this man is only suceding in tarnishing the image of the igos, oh how the mighty have fallen but pls who is suppressing the igbos definitely not the clueless johnatan and whatever happened to igbos owning 80percent of lagos and 90percent of abuja ,100 percent of eonomy , 100 percent of the whole nigeria what exactly should we believe

django1:

If you had studied elementary economics you would have known that nearness to resources and market are two of the reasons in choosing a business location.

we are talking about manufacturing and assembling not services or retailing .so those industries in aba , ph , onitsha, kano , sokoto , nigeri republic the people that built them did not study economics , even ajaokuta steel in the middle of nowhere in kogi . once u have a ready market anywhere in the world and means of transportation plus fund u can locate your industry anywhere and ship to all corners of the world.

J12:

Its an unwise business decision to build your business where there is no market or demand for your products.

that is a lie , a manufacturing plant or assembly plant can be built anywhere even in the desert as far as u have the means of transportation to take it to consumer locations.

solomon111: Nice.
He should set up his bigger plants in the eastern region and use lagos as his annex.
The country is hanging on the brink on division,and anything can happen.
He should apply wisdom.

nigerian breaking up dont mean u will loose your investment or property wherever it is afterall many foreigners have also invested millions and billions of naira accross nigeria and many nigerians have investments outside nigeria, lets always think straight however i agree with you he should also look towards investing in imo where he is from at least to support the govt and youths there

no wonder this owerri boy wey dey find work never come back from weekend waka

what happens to thos employed ones earning little salary ? they will all claim unemployed .

until aba is cleaned up and roads built everyother thing is jargon , went to aba last week then umuahia to uyo , it was a terrible experience.

Gbawe:

Why don't you prove they lied? I never talk out of hatred or envy for anyone so I can be objective. Every well-informed, averagely well-educated and unbiased observer, able to make logical inference, knows that what Aregbesola has done as per aggressive employment initiatives makes this submission entirely consistent and logical.

You are actually the one who is being ludicrous and statistically unintelligent if you do not see that the massive employment Aregbesola has created, in a short space of time, must have a significant and seismic effect on collated data about employment if such has not been repeated in any other State of Nigeria. No disrespect, but that is common sense those who have gained education predisposing them to solutions-provision will discern easily and logically. You Nigerians are jokers with your petty hatred of each other. You see something UN, World bank and many developmental agencies are waxing lyrical about, while other African Nations are looking to understudy and implement it, yet you show you cannot rise above your petty issues to note a successful initiative now naturally and expectedly verified by statistics.

you can make your point without quoting fake statistics.

i cant believe you are still defending them even after you saw an article for national beureau of statistics saying its false , oga Gbawe na so u and ACN wan take change nigeria with lies even when caught.





National Bureau Of Statistics Denies Recent Poverty Rating Report


The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has denied the report that it rated Sokoto State as the poorest state in Nigeria in the 2012 National Poverty Index.

The Statistician-General of the Federation, Dr. Yemi Kale, stated this in a response letter signed on his behalf by Mrs. Yvonne Odu-Thomas, and addressed to the chambers of Dr. Alex Iziyon (SAN), the lawyer to the Sokoto State Government.

In the letter entitled: ‘RE: Bogus, Fictitious, Baseless and Inciting Publication on Sokoto State as the Poorest State in Nigeria’, the Bureau dissociated itself from the report credited to it.

“First to be noted is that, the Bureau conducts its National Poverty Index every five to six years. The last survey conducted was in the year 2009/10, whilst the previous one was conducted in the year 2003/04. It can be said therefore, based on this explanation given by the Bureau that the publications on poverty for 2012, so mentioned are out of context and false.

“It is important to mention here that the Bureau uses and will continue to use global best practice in conducting all of its Surveys and that no such information as alleged by your client is on the Bureau’s website”, Mrs. Odu-Thomas stated.

In another letter to the Special Adviser, Sokoto State Poverty Reduction Agency, the NBS said: “[size=16pt]Its next assessment is scheduled for 2014/15. There has been no new survey or analysis on poverty by NBS since 2009/10, therefore all reports claiming NBS released poverty results for 2012 are false.[/size]

“Accordingly, any statistics recorded without the authority of the NBS, as is the case with the one in question, is not to be regarded as official. The NBS surveys which cut across states are done in collaboration with state statistical offices and before any such survey is conducted you would be informed via the Governor’s Forum,” it added.

Look at the second table. What does it say? "source: National Bureau of statistics. May 2011/2012".

Why not go the whole way and suggest an entire Nigerian State is now into the cheap forging of document just to deliver "propaganda"? Or is it the truth that your malevolent obsession with maligning others, you have been indoctrinated with, simply means you have no reverse gear and must always seek negatives against them instead of simply giving credit where due gracefully or just staying away? You guys are so predictable. Always more aggrieved, flustered, steeped in negativity and an agenda of discreditation than stakeholders and end users themselves. Pathetic. I just feel sorry for you guys.

but why must u lie ? anyway lets not blame you , those osun defenders should be ashamed of themselves for quoting a fake statistics just to score cheap point for their governors. you of all people that have been campaigning for good governance in nigeria should also condemm this cheap charade by osun defender.

chidindufrank: I swear your juju too potent. You put the poor man inside bottle eh, I pity him and his parents .chai

such men are called vegetables

Babzilla: EVEN THOSE WHO R NO BETTER THAN HOUSEGIRLS IN THEIR HUSBANDS HOUSES
WILL COME HERE TO LIE AND SAY WHAT A CARING THOUGHTFUL HUSBAND THEY HAVE

no mind these olodos that come here to claim , no be only to care for baby at night very soo some will claim their husband wash their pants for them. these nairaland women are delusional.

all thanks to GEJ

tayokem: Lagos noooo niiii oooo

which lagos?

Liveair: Well, going by the meaning of a Cosmopolis I would say the order is thus;
1. LAGOS - Just about everyone and everything is represented in lagos. Lots of Non Nigerians too.

2. PORT HARCOURT - There is no tribe not well represented in PH. Average cab driver is Yoruba, almost all car/parts dealers are Ibo and Hausas have several scattered settlements all around PH.
The average Restaurant is managed by Efik/Ibibio.

3. ABUJA - Abuja has an almost equal dose of all the above but also a large presence of the original dwellers and Hausa language is strong in certain places.

when last did you visit abuja? i think igbo has become the a major language in abuja

SpicyMimi: Hi my fellow Nairalanders,

okay, i have this friend who has been dating her guy for some few months now, and he also has plans of getting married to her but has never bought her any gift nor has he cared about her needs finacially. I personally told her the guy is a stingy guy and things might get ugly after marriage, but then again i might be wrong, so i need you all to share your views on this.

Also, would love to have answers to the following questions:

1. When should a guy start spending on a girl? ''For your info am not a gold-digger, i hardly collect stuffs from my boyfriend but atleast am glad he isnt the stingy type''

2. Why do guys so much believe in the word 'Give and take'?

3. Who should call more?

And for the Ladies, you could also tell us what and what your boyfriends or fiance's is doing or has done as per being in a relationship with him, same with the Male folks as well.

Note- Forming is allowed.

Lt Walbe:
As far as I am concerned it was a lie(Yoruba publications). We arrested him as we arrested Ironsi. We suspected him of being party to the January coup. You remember the Battle Group Course which was held at Abeokuta . . . Fajuyi was Commander of the Battle Group course. He ran the course. All those who took part in the January coup were those who had taken part in that course. It gave us the impression that the Battle Course was arranged for the January Coup, so he had to suffer it too. I am sorry about that but that is the nature of the life of the military man

interesting , will like to know more about this battle group course

achebe is one positive news from or about nigeria ,we are hardly on the news for anything good. soyinka would have been the same but dam that guy introduced cultism into nigerian schools the atrocities these cultist commit is just too much.

Eziachi:
Because he felt he has been misled and used by a client. It happens everyday in law. You can withdraw your services as a lawyer from a client if you later decide that continue doing the job is affecting your integrity or career. The client has the right to hire someone else.

he will be a fool a fool to do such , is he afraid of tinubu or what , a smart lawyer will use this publicity stunt to become somebody.the guy is a coward the best thing for him to do is to go shoot himself.

Eziachi:
Of course the application is in order, though fraudulent.
The young inexperience lawyer is only doing what he thought was a genuine job. How happy he must have felt that at this period in his career, he was being hired to registered a national party, not knowing that it was a political jets and sham.

In my opinion, he was a victim more than anything else. The person that hired him preyed on his inexperience and innocence. It now left to INEC to get the full picture and probably act according to the law (whatever that is).

I am sure the guy can go to INEC and make formal application to withdraw the application he filed, by first swearing an affidavit in court first.

why should he do that/ becus tinubu and buhari says so ? something is mentally wrong with some of you .

who is tinubu

KenGali:

"Overheating Polity??" that is overly exaggerating. Why will the polity overheat just because a party needs to adopt a new name.lol Are people demonstrating in Lagos? the rest of the country is peaceful.
For the benefit of other young lawyers, the cowardly rants of the lawyer is what will destroy his career. Who wants a cowardly lawyer?? Lawyers make a living from problems and controversies, not by pleading morality. This whole thing will be forgotten as soon as Tinubu and Buhari announce their new name. Any decision made by INEC about the name APC is subject to further litigation after any election. The merger knows that whatever happens they must choose a new name.

Meaning that those people who know better, know that this so called confession by the lawyer is simply an attempt by the the merger group to turn a bad turn of events into a good publicity. The whole idea is to tell Nigerians that it is the PDP, instead of an oversight by the merger group.
This will of-course be followed by PDP denying any connection with the cowardly lawyer, while the real APC will claim to have engaged him. Leading the merger APC back to square-one on how to explain their oversight.

u just nailed it , one bottle for my head

M-16:
where are my fellow Niger Delta people sef make una talkie now wey Yoruba saboteurs don dey float nairaland with BUHARI/TINUBU POLITICS this dunces are talking about change and now they scaring future generation with faces of OLD thieves .
man i rather vote WIZKID OR DBANJ FOR PRESIDENT . OPEN YOUR SNAKE EYE

we dey here, buhari and tinubu are not getting anywhere close to aso rock in 2015 thats a promise, they are other more pressing issues like coming election in anambra next year.

baby_123:

LMAO. Typical PDP brain. Half baked university students who paid their way through. In some professions (Accountants, lawyers, doctors), once your name is tied to a scandal you are finished professionally. That application is null and void, because it was fraudulent. This guy you people put in trouble was used and abandoned. He now has to go to school to read another course. He is finished as a lawyer! He can be a PDP tout like his employer who has also vanished. Seems PDP is full of cowards. At least be bold! Come up with a new name, and say "Sponsored by PDP". What are you afraid of? Lost votes? This misadventure has already finished you as a party. APC is now coming out looking more mature, focused and purposeful. You don't have shame. At least the other guy vanished when he started receiving calls. You come here to lie. Which other lawyer can take up an application another lawyer filled and filed? You will have to create a new party, a new lawyer and new juvenile address. ROTFLMAO!

you are stupid , can you point out one thing the lawyer of whoever he registered the party for did wrong.

KenGali:

Which morality are you talking about? What did he do wrong exactly?
Some people are talking fraud, which fraud is it? INEC has not even processed the application.

The only thing here is that this young lawyer has just destroyed the prospect of a promising career, by painting himself to be a coward.
Even Tinubu himself, would have engaged you in future if only you knew how to keep your manhood! Last time I checked political lawyers do not run from controversies, not to talk of when you did absolutely nothing wrong.

At the end of the day, the application has been filed. If the lawyer becomes afraid, he was paid for the job, can be thrown aside. A stronger lawyer will take up the application.

the lawyer sef na mumu , he didnt do anything wrong yt he is giving in to acn/cpc intimidation, if i be am i dont see why i shouold give them info i will simply tell them i registered the party for my apc clients end of story.

Billyonaire: You are a mad person, God punish all you regional ediots that cant even register a party name. Nematodes!!!

you have forgotten they think nigeria belongs to them so they were taking their time, see how they are threatning INEC , no respect for law and democracy. they just have to come up with another name and be smart enough to register it before they run their mouth all over the place
