Instead of giving the monarchs gifts, why don't they invest the funds in projects for those communities that they head a la US Govt.and Native American communities?

eeeeeee: Outdated Yoruba newspaper quoting stale statistics
Their source is old,i read it.

The proportion of people living in poverty in the
South East region rose from 13 percent in
1980 to 53 percent in 1996, before falling back to 27 percent in 2004. In the South West,
the poverty rate was 43 percent in 2004, up from 13.4 percent in 1980.
The South East’s infant and child mortality rates, at 66 and 103, respectively, are the lowest
of Nigeria’s six regions.
9
Not surprisingly, the region also exhibits the highest immunization
coverage among children ages 12 to 23 months (45 percent fully vaccinated), the lowest
percentage of children under age five who are stunted (20 percent), and, among women
giving birth, the highest percentage who receive antenatal care from a health professional
(96 percent), two or more doses of tetanus toxoid (77 percent), and assistance by a health
professional during the birth (88 percent).

Poverty rate is 43% in SW
and 27% in SE

How do officials in your useless Nigeria of a country get to put out these nonsense statistics with a straight face when you cant even tell how many citizens you have, state residents, or the exact amount of people in its workforce?

Lmaoo yall wont kill me with all these rubbish you post on here in the name of trying to look better than your neighbors.

eaglechild: I don't get all the noise about IGR.

The SE has the lowest poverty rate.
The north has the highest, followed by the SW, so where is all the ghost IGR going?

Please beg your government to use their ghost IGR to empower your poor populace.

Please, take a look at this list real quick:

States that generated more than N10 billion in 2012 are Kano, Kaduna, Oyo, Ondo, Ogun, Enugu, Edo, Delta, Cross River and Akwa Ibom

.

MEILYN: The guy mouth no dey stay one place? Your criticism wont change anything. Now you see? Your mouth don make you lose 5miillion

Its bail money, you dont lose it. You get it back at the end of court proceedings surrounding the case.

Agent8706: Abuse of freedom of speech. That you have the right and means to voice your opinion doesn't mean that you should do so foolishly.

You, my dear, are an imbec.ile.

rolchi: Sir/Madam,

What were your experiences then?

Please, get Soldiers of Fortune and read...just incas you "never had any experience of that regime" then.

Compliments of the season.

You can shove your compliments where the sun dont shine...

And why is "never had any experience of that regime" in quotes? I dont get.

Nigeria's biggest problem is corruption, and until you can show me another Nigerian that'll instill fear in the corrupt, and inspire hope in the downtrodden, my support will be for Buhari.

ROSSIKE: Excuses excuses excuses. Is it within Gatwick premises or not? It IS. By YOUR logic, it should be trimmed and landscaped... You did not measure distance or utility of the land when condemning MMA.

Here's another example: Shannon Airport Ireland... Again.. no great landscaping around unused areas.

Here's Dallas Fortworth Airport, Texas - overgrown grass fields...
https://www.airport-data.com/images/airports/small/005/005608.jpg

Here's Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris. Again... no great landscaping, and overgrown grass around unused areas: Mind you, these are some of the best airports in the world!

https://www.concordesst.com/pictures/fbtsc3.jpg


That's a bit rich coming from a two-a-penny tout like you who still sees pictures taken with white men as the ultimate achievement.

Dude, are you braindead or what? Dont those grasses look fresly cut compared to the eyesore that is the Lagos Airport you showed us?

agbameta: ..

^^^^^^^^ That's the isolated west end area of the Airport where they conduct rescue, fire drills and training and it's far away from the main terminals for safety reasons.. That's from the same website..


What you have in your picture is a dummy plane strictly for training..

Ode comparing his absurdity in Lagos with Gatwik. Is your leaking roof and hot oven bootlegged airport in the same league with Gatwick to start with?

I pardon you because you are village dweller and you lack international exposure and sophistication.

Woooooowwww. Rossike has been exposed as a lier.

ROSSIKE: Get a life you spiteful dullard.... Airports are not required to ''nice up'' the entire area surrounding them. Here's Gatwick airport... I don't see any great landscaping going on.... we can equally call it ''this dirty absurdity with overgrown bush all over''........Dullard.

Gatwick airport UK

Why are you always disingenuous? Is that how the outside of an airport should be? Then you chose to show us the hanger area of Gatwick... Actually, that plane looks burnt and is probably in that area waiting to be turned to scrap and spare airplane parts.

SMH. Dude, you can do better.

rolchi: Ok...let's see your link? But get that book and read. You will gain a better understanding of the man Buhari and General Ibrahim Bademasi Babangida.

But I still stand to be corrected..."essential commodities" were scarce. We queued for simple groceries in Nigeria. Oh, I also remember when the currency was changed. The color of one naira then now became the color of today's ten naira.

Obiagelli, we went through hell then. Seriously!!!

But you didnt go through hell when the likes of Umar Dikko were ravaging the country's treasury?

tomakint: Whether his Pre-Retirement Leave is official or not one thing is certain here, his leave has a connection to his careless talks on the false alarm he raised on his 'concocted N49.8 billion missing money' that was not stolen! Anyway, this is 'Good Riddance To Bad Rubbish'! Sanusi, is a desperate mallam that must be watched!

$12Billion is not that much of a big deal, right?

Reps Urge Jonathan To Sack Oduah Over N643m Armoured Cars

Oh my God! Did anyone else watch this video? The woman reading is a Government Rep? Lord, what is wrong with Nigeria?

iamtheprincipal: General Muhammadu Buhari (GMB) remains the best bet to fly the APC presidential flag come 2015 general elections. Be it Tambuwal or any other is NO match for GMB as he remains the most viable candidate to the realisation of the dreams on millions of Nigerians to expunge corruption & entrench rule of law which is alien in the GEJ-led government of today.

If APC fields anyone except Buhari Id say theyre just as bad as PDP. Corruption is Nigeria's number one problem and thats what needs to be tackled.

Obiagu1: Edo is part and parcel of Biafra (Originally Southern Nigeria).

lmaoooo

Lay down ur crack pipe, bruh.

dlox147: if you all hate her for misappropriating(not Stealing) 600 million, why don't you like her for fixing over 28 airports in less than 3 years a feet no other aviation minster came close to achieving?

So her reward for doing her job which she is being paid for by Nigeria, is to steal N600million from the country?

uchez2: How is gej the worst pls? Or were u born in 2010? If u have to criticize gej, do it positively not negatively. So u think your brothers bombing and killing innocent nigerians in the north is not enough distraction abi? You my friend is the definition of HYPOCRITE

Look here u bloody Igbo, u fools need to stop going from thread to thread accusing everyone that criticizes this dunce President as being either APC or from a certain tribe. How do u know? Are u a magician? You Igbos destroyed this man's Presidency with silly statements such as this making him look like a Regional leader. As usual, u have ur greedy motives, but best believe, neither Gej nor the Ijaws are fooled, u'll find out in 2015... latest 2019. if his Presidency lasts that long.

uchez2: Do u believe this bulshit u just spat here? If GEJ will go to jail, then buhari, ibb, obj, abdilsalam, atiku, should be stoned to death by the masses. Why do u northerners hate gej so much? U fools used more than 40yrs to destroy this nation and u expect gej to fix it under 3yrs? I think its time u guys start telling urselves the truth. It seems u guys strive in hypocrisy! Stop distracting the man and allow him to concentrate and do his job as a president for God's sake!

Is he a baby that you can distract with just words or what on earth are u trying to sell to us? I agree everyone on ur list--- except Buhari --- should actually be punished for how they've destroyed Nigeria when it was under their care. But for you to think that anyone that criticizes Jonathan is being hypocritical shows that you're really the hypocrite here. Whats bad is bad...and Goodluck Jonathan is as bad as they come.

He's the worst.

Ogbeche77: Yes it cost money, but I don't have an issue if the money is coming from his own pocket...

End of story.

peleson: How much comes from ur tate? How much does ur state contribute to the fg?

Are you one of the animals in GEJ's zoo or how does this waste of money benefit u that ure defending it?

ROSSIKE: In the American economy and society you have millions of homeless beggars, broken families, and drugs/gun-ridden communities. Try another excuse.

Compare the poor in the United States to that of Nigeria.

Ngwakwe: Not so fast, even the Obamas' dog Bo costs the taxpayer thousands of dollars - his handler is reportedly paid over $100,000 a year.

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2210323/Obama-family-costs-taxpayers-1-4BILLION-year.html

Compare the U.S economy and the American society to that of Nigeria.

Ikengawo: great move! a culture of respect and preservation of wildlife and our environment will help nigeria learn that their country means more than just politics and tribes.

Ok, now repeat this and keep a straight face when doing so.

I see the usual suspects avoided this thread

I dont know what Igbo leaders hope to gain by alienating GEJ from the rest of Nigeria...

Actually, I do.

Eze Promoe: [color=crimson]Even the devil will be corrupted by APC![/color]

still didn't answer my question.

[quote author=MR. WHINNIG]And the Yorubas keep embarrassing Nigeria in the international community. This is one of the reasons why the Westerners think that we still move around naked and live in mud houses over here in Africa.[/quote]If you watched the video you probably would rescind your statement.

Eze Promoe: [color=crimson]Had it been that 30% of APC supporters think like this man, I would have considered APC [/color]

Youre Igbo. Ive seen your previous posts: You wont consider it even if Jesus was on board.

How did you get your fact that 30% of APC supporters dont think like Wole Soyinka?

acidtalk: Choosing Only One: Between Hardwork and Prayer which is likely to make one successful in life?

We all know most successful people usually join both together when talking about what made them successful in life but which one seems to be stronger and play a major role in one's success in life

Hardwork Or Prayer

Your prayer is zero without hard work.

Taiwo20: Am okay. I don't know about you. The title of your thread would make one think of Late MKO abiola first.

I believe you are Nigeria and shouldn't have a problem recognizing a simple yoruba name such as: Abiola.

Okay. He is truly yoruba. Does that change anything now?

Dude, dont you have something better to waste your megabytes on?! MKO is the only Abiola ever to roam this earth? Did you notice that the name was in quotations? Do you know what that was inferring?

Bro, if you think he is then thats your prerogative, you can move on now.

Pataki: As expected. Jona denies all the allegations, shifts blames to non-existing entities.

Boko haram started in 2002? Interesting! So when did MEND start and why were you their spokesperson after October 2010 bombing?

GEJ speaks of no political assasination in his government, yet we clearly remember Azazi was eliminated for speaking the truth about Jonathan and Boko Haram. Or does this glorified ogogoro drunkard think we Nigerians have forgotten his high handedness during the oil subsidy that led to the death of innocent Nigerians?

So many issues to tear at from the childish letter of a so-called president. He failed to state how his body-language is not encouraging corruption even when he explicitly stated this as one of his reasons for responding to OBJ's letter.

I sincerely hope this man spends the rest of his years in jail come 2015. Enough is enough.

Boko Haram started in 2002 but hes been encouraging his supporters to accuse Buhari of being a BH sponsor. What happened to the lie that Buhari started BH just to destabilize GEJ's Govt. The mere fact that this President will tell and encourage blatant lies says a lot about his character.

I cant wait till he goes to Prison.

Taiwo20: I knew it. I knew that was your aim.
Anyway, I don't have issues with anyone no matter the age playing,singing,dancing or doing whatever in the rain or snow. Whether he/she is omoYibo, Ofenmanu, or Arewa.

This is an attention seeking thread with a calculated attempt to incite,insult and drum up unwarranted e-fight

And what is that aim? Are you ok? Was my aim disguised by the heading, the post or my comments?

If you dont have anything reasonable to comment on then feel free to avoid this thread, its not by force to comment.

Is he an impostor, yes or no? Very simple question instead of coming on here trying to play pretend "Defender of the Universe".
