Berries, now I confirm you are AJ city brought up with the usual trade mark of broken front tooth for girls and missing two front teeth for boys.

sobaemma: thats hypocricy,so how does celebrating a birthday stop u from working?

This statement must be from so
someone from the owambe tribe where their leader spent 1 billion naira on birthday celebration u the midst of abject poverty.

"Calling on all Nigerians to defend democracy"

Did you call on them to defend democracy when you were sacking elected Local Government Officials?

solomon111: Criminal.

A hardened one at that. That's the same man some people are proud to call their leader. I wonder what sort of people have a criminal as their leader.

No matter how hard you try, you can't kill the truth.

Poor dude, he's sure to be in the labour market ASAP

mu2sa2: One-sided propaganda. People fleeing from violence are boko haram, ok let's hear their own defence. You impose violence on a whole city and say people should not flee.Absurd. Let foo.ls celebrate. Today it's maiduguri, 2morrow they will use the "experience" on niger delta, when Asari and other bandits start their own. Maybe then those who now must talk virgins with every foul breath will perhaps be talking non-virgins.

No sir. Yesterday, it was Biafra. Today it's Borno and neighbours. What goes around comes around.

PapaBrowne: While I agree that in Northern Nigeria, things have never been this bad,
In Southern Nigeria on the other hand, things have never been this good!

Lagos is booming, Port Harcourt is awash with cash, Warri, Benin, Uyo, Calabar, Owerri, Enugu, Ibadan are blossoming.
Malls are opening up everywhere. Construction like never before. Hotels, Factories and all kinds of new companies springing up on a daily.
Infact, while Northern Nigeria burns, the south has become amongst the four most attractive investment destinations worldwide.

But you are right. The army should takeover the areas that have never been this bad. And that is exactly what they have done. Borno, Yobe and Adamawa have been taken over already with the declaration of State of Emergency!!
For the rest of Nigeria, especially down south, we are experiencing progress like never before, so we don't need a military takeover!

Achebe: Exit of a literary giant

By HENRY UMORU & JOSEPH ERUNKE

ABUJA — THE Senate yesterday urged the Federal Government to grant the late novelist, Professor Chinua Achebe, a state burial and name a major federal highway or street in Abuja after him.

It also urged the government to name a national monument after him to portray the fact that  Nigeria, as a country, and Nigerians appreciated his positive contributions to the country and  world through his literary works.

As part of honour for the literary giant, the Senate announced a high-powered delegation, led by Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba, to commiserate with the family, people and government of Anambra State on the demise of Professor Achebe, as a minute silence was observed for him.

Resolutions of the Senate came after deliberations on the death of the literary icon, on a motion, titled “Death of Professor Chinualumogu Albert Achebe”, sponsored by Senator Chris Ngige, ACN, Anambra Central, and other senators, during yesterday’s plenary.

In the motion,read by the lead sponsor, Senator Ngige, the Senate said it was saddened by the death of Professor Achebe whose “glorious exit occurred on Thursday, March 21, 2013, in Massachusetts, USA, after a brief illness at the age of 82 years.”

Is ACN still in existence? I thought they wound down after their last convention thereby fusing into APC?

ilugunboy: Now these Northerners with their continue utterances and desperation will only lead to more desperation...a desperate person hardly take a rational decision.

If they are banking on ACN to deliver the SW to them with this type of arrogance...they will sorely be disappointed.

Did someone hack your account?

If only our Yoruba brothers can smell the coffee.

Buhari's candidature is dead on arrival.

Dino Melaye should join Lawal Kaita and Junaid Mohammed in the suit otherwise, he's wasting time.

splashbaby: Too late folks! Damage has been done already..Jonathan kinsmen thinks they own Nigeria.

Oh well, they do since they pay the bills.

He who pays the piper dictates the tune, innit?

idupaul: What kind of thread is this abeg .. This is how U guys argue and put pressure on urselves to be rich without work .. How would a man share 1 billion any time he comes from London ...What kind of dirty talk is dat .. Next time some of the boys U are arguing with will attempt to use somebody for blood money

Dude, it's Arthur 1000 we are talking about here and not Arthur Nzeribe. First of all, find out why he's nicknamed Arthur 1000, then come back to this thread and I'll educate you more.

EzeUche: What about Ifeanyi Ubah of Capital Oil?

What about Phillip Iheanacho of Seven Energy?

What of Orjiakor of Seplat Petroleum?

Are they not oil kings of the Ndigbo?

From your list above, only Dr. A B C Orjiakor of Seplat Oil is worthy of mention in this thread. The others are small boys.

Dr ABC Orjiakor the silent operator. A trained orthopaedic and trauma surgeon turned oil baron.

IGBO-SON:
^^^Interesting! Exactly what companies does Arthur Eze own?......any oyel block company in his portfolio? Just curious to know what businesses he's running. I do know Emeka Offor owns an oyel block and he's part of the on-going PHCN privatisation process.

Arthur Eze
Source: Oil
The Nigerian oilman sits atop Atlas Oranto Petroleum, a West African exploration company which owns several producing and non-producing oil and gas assets across Nigeria, Liberia, Equatorial Guinea and the Gambia. In 2010, Oranto Atlas sold off a set of oil blocks in Liberia for $250 million. Eze pocketed $200 million from the sale.

gerald28: Please guys, I am having a debate with friends, I am telling them that Emeka offor is the richest igbo man, but they said no..that it is Arthur eze....yes I Arthur eze shares one billion naira each time he comes back from London, but that doesn't mean he is richer...please any person that knows these men well should help me out.

Emeka Offor is a small boy where Arthur Eze is. Arthur Eze belongs to another realm. He is a godfather and a kingmaker himself. Eze n'Ukpo Dunukofia.

When the likes of Emeka Offor were running around naked, Arthur 1000 was already dealing with Empires. When Emeka Offor was driving truck for Julius Berger, Eze n'Ukpo was dealing with governments. When Emeka Offor was carrying Ibrahim Abacha's suitcase, Arthur Eze was already lifting oil.

He is not nicknamed Arthur 1000 for nothing.

When he sneezes, Emeka catches cold.

Don't mess with Eze n'Ukpo. He is a government himself.

jude2011: Author eze i a big disgrace to the igbo people. Imagine him giving 1.8 billion. How many people in his village have access to quality healthcare, good public school and pipe borne water. How many widows is he helping and how many children of the less privilege has he granted scholarship . This man is a greedy F00l . Kudos to sir emeka offor for giving the youths scholarship and always donating to educational institution.

Dude if you do not know who Arthur Eze is, keep your mouth shut. Do you think he's called Arthur 1000 for nothing? If you are Igbo, ask elders in your community who Arthur 1000 is and why he's called Arthur 1000.

How can you compare Sir E. (Emeka Offor) to Eze n'Ukpo in terms of philanthropy.

Thanks for the info above mate.

Biyi1471: Please, how do I delete or deactivate my Nairaland Account?

Ask your oga at the top.

kcjazz: Why can't Christians learn to live as one? Why do we like to compare stuff, my church is better than yours nonsense!
In this country a Rev Fr. uses military escorts, owns two universities, one polytechnic, businesses and industries + real estates. Just because he is not on Forbes does not make him a poor man. He is not humble either. Does God care that Mr A rides a train while Mr B flies OR is it about how much they are doing to make humanity better. Let us get our priorities right abeg.

Pope Francis has a lot to do and please don't distract him with this nonsense.

Are you referring to Father Ede?

@op, why are you withholding vital information on this project? Is it all in a bid to make it seem as if this is a Lagos state project.

The primary health centre was built and donated by ZENITH BANK PLC. Construction work started around 2007/2008

dayokanu: Well SW votes is all thats needed for PDP to be ousted from power

You seem to forget that your leaders always sellout at the dying minute.
