But why aren't there Billionares from the East, all the billionares are are northerners and westerners, the richest black woman in the world got rich from Niger Delta oil, she was given an oil block for free by Sani Abacha, that money clearly belongs to a Niger Deltan. The people from SE and SS are clearly second class citizens in Nigeria. They are also the most hardworking and intelligent, which is why they lead in the WAEC.

Ignorance is bliss.

Afrikaners where generally poor peasants who where considered inferior by the British.(Boer means farmer). Their emergence was only in 1948 when they got hold of the government from the Brits. That's when they began to implement their own form of Afrikaner empowerment which was spearheaded by the Afrikaner broederbond. They flushed out all the Brits from the government and replaced them with Afrikaners, they used government money to finance Afrikaner owned companies which are now very big in SA. They also implemented apartheid because they feared that blacks would interfere with their empowerment.

I can go on and on about how Afrikaners empowered themselves using government resources. But what's safe to conclude is that the boer(farmer) was a second class citizen until 1948.

Most of their wealth is hidden, Dangote is just a conduit for the generals' and politicians' loot, he just manages their money .

vdGeist:
Yes.

vdGeist:
But the Northerners and Westerners have been marginalising the SE and SS, don't northerners and westerners own most of the oil blocks in Delta region, they've used the Biafran oil to develop their own region.

vdGeist:
These are the two most developed States, and the Lebanese have contributed far more than the native Nigerians into making them great. Their real wealth is hidden, I heard that the guy behind EKO Atlantic is richer than Dengote.

vdGeist:
Southern Nigeria will be better off without the North, in fact, Biafra would've been a great country.

vdGeist:
And they've built a lot of Abuja, they own lots of property there.
I saw a thread about this.

vdGeist:
They've done alot in a short time, go to skyscraper city.

vdGeist:
With the oil money, and long period of peace (compared to other African countries), hasn't Nigeria been under performing?

Look at how much Angola has achieved in the ten years they've been peaceful with their oil money.l

Without the Lebanese guy Eko Atlantic wouldn't happen.

Without foreigners, 95% of the little (by world standard) development in Nigeria wouldn't be there.
Your entire oil industry was developed by foreigners. FACT

vdGeist:
The brains behind eko Atlantic is a Lebanese.

all Julius berger managers to CEO are blacks yet we see stories like these.

Nigerian firms are clearly a tiny portion of the Nigerian construction industry, even the Nigerian firms employ foreigners.

Ikengawo:
Buhari is working

asala1:
You are joking right?

Johnnoo:
I hope its modern trains that will be vying that route They should do away with all those ancient cartons

vdGeist:
And you know little of SA history. Were the Afrikaners part of the plan of the British?

Are the poor white people also lazy?

vdGeist:
Check my edited post.

vdGeist:
And the Igbos were not part of Awolowo's plan.

Are the poor white people in SA also lazy?

vdGeist:
Show them and what they've built, why is it that when ever I see a project on the front page it's always foreign firms doing the construction? Why would Nigeria do a policy like BEE, was there any discriminatory policies against curtain groups in Nigeria in the past?

You do have federal character ofcoz, why is that?

vdGeist:
Boers are not colonizers, but SA citizens.

what do you say about the Boers in poverty, are they not lazy too?

vdGeist:
Built by foreign firms like Julius Berger..

Helghast:
Obviously they were not paid enough, but still it doesn't change the fact that Black people built the country, I don't get what your point is.

Helghast:
South Africa was built by the hands of the Black Man, the Dutch and English Came here with their plans and designs, but we're the ones who brought those designs and their dreams to life, we layed those bricks, sacrificed our lives to dig out gold that they later refined and claimed to be theirs, the Dutch Just stood around and gave out orders.

When you walk around Joburg you'll see that's its still the Black men who are building this countries infrastructure.

I'm not being racist when I say that most of the beautiful Structures that existed before 1994 were literally built by the hands of Black people, so it should be a surprise that we would be taking credit for it.
Our Fathers and Grandfathers built a lot of that Sh*t$

STALLION Motors last weekend took the wraps off one of its locally assembled Hyundai models at an interactive session with local automobile media in Lagos. The Grand base model is priced under N2 million.

The Hyundai Grand i10 as it is named is an elegantly compact family sedan that comes in two variants with 5-Speed manual and 4-Speed automatic transmission and powered by 1.25 Kappa Dual VTVT engine respectively.

Jatin Nadkarni, Head of Sales and Marketing, Hyundai Motors Nigeria, a division of Stallion Group said that the Hyundai Grand i10 was the proceed of the recently inaugurated Federal Government National Automotive Industrial Plan.

He said the Hyundai Grand i10 has proven a point that a comfortable and spacious car doesn’t have to be cumbersome.

“And that was Hyundai Motors’ conviction when it move to produce this exceptionally cultured sedan that would soon become the toast of most automobile freaks in the country,” Mr. Nadkarni said. A feature – packed Hyundai Grand responds to every expectation with alluring cabin colour, textures and shape that lend it a sporty appeal that could easily make any large car envious.

From whatever angle you view this car, it is evident the Hyundai Grand was crafted to meet utmost degree of needs.

The Grand is a whole new level of art plus innovation which ordinarily gives the car an unimaginable feel.

Mr. Nadkarni acknowledged these values as he showed the media some of the attractive features that distinguish the sedan.

He said: “the world is changing every day, so we decided to also change the way people communicate with each other by introducing the Hyundai Grand – a car that lets you share a new language with the world.”

And true to his words, the Grand shows a sharp styling with a whole new level of innovation that attest to the brilliantly crafted exterior which leaves an everlasting impression on all those who catch a glimpse of it.

The newly designed clear headlight clusters for instance, not only look good, they improve your night vision and on-road visibility with extra safety. Hyundai Grand is equipped with chrome-coated radiator grille positioned to perfection to project strong presence.

The outside mirror repeaters are aerodynamically sculpted while the outside mirror is ornamented with LED repeaters for enhanced looks and safety.

Inside the car, the front and rear seating ergonomically designed bucket type front seats gives the car a premium feel with spacious and cushioned rear seats while the adjustable headrests assure ample support and comfortable seating.

This is in addition to the liberal boot space that could accommodate your weekend luggage with bench folding function that provides an extra flat load space.

Hyundai Grand does not compromise on safety. The makers used structural safety that utilizes anti corrosive steel, ring structure application to enhance the rigidity and body robustness of the Hyundai Grand and its Anti-lock brake system (ABS) prevents skidding and retains the car’s steer ability on slippery surfaces. This mechanism also enables stable braking and restricts wheel lock-up during panic braking.
