This news is not true. Believe only what Punch, SR and Vanguard reported earlier today.

nnachukz:
So even when it is glaring that someone down south is qualified for the job, tinubu and osinbajo still need to convince him and even bring his political image into it before he can appoint the person. For a northerner, no need for all that, he already knows he is the right person. Begging for what collectively belongs to us all.

Who told you Abubakar Malami (SAN) is also not qualified?

nuted:
Bro.. Which family house are you from in Offa?

Ile Olomu.

Oh boy, dem dey fight this guy on all fronts

It's common in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria. Street footballers are packed "in roger". Or they set themselves up in free-for-alls.

Growing up in Offa, I was caught in street football fights too with Police dispersing us.

He's a marked man in that organization.

Ftc. Dedicated to Seun Osewa.

Baba must have had that account from Barclays Bank days.

The umu anumanu is not really an abuse from your mother, it means atleast u suppose to lock the door.
But if she had used umu anuofia, then na real abuse be that one.

If na Yoruba woman (of similar humour make-up), she will say "eku ise o".

If everybody think before they comment;
if everybody consider their role-models before airing their views;
if everybody think of themselves and love ones before they comment;
we will see a Nairaland that would no longer be fun;
we will see a nairaland where nobody enjoy comic relief;
we will see a nairaland where the genius of the likes of Funlord, nihilist, blackett who take the fools to the cleaners will be stifled

the truth is nairaland will be boring if everybody follow all that in your post. I mean how do you want people like ireneony, ladyF, introvert etc to be relevant?

Imagine for a moment nairaland with only the likes of Jarus, barcanister, Ujsizzle, caracter, Epaul, seun, standd who are always serious with their comments like say them dey house of assembly. Even these personalities need the likes of ireneony, introvert, fremanan, ladyF to laugh and get angry once in while.

LMAO @ serious like National Assembly.

I agree with you. In fact, I enjoy the lighter posts more than the serious posts. I also try to lighten up sometimes. Have you ever come across me booking space or doing ftc? I have done a couple of times

I wonder wats the essence of ur knowledge if it's not for academic purpose
Dude it's best for you to stop deceiving people and quit smoking Wikipedia because it's dangerous to your brain... Just before you and your likes term my knowledge sharing with with you chest beating, its on record that sir Louis provided the car queen Elizabeth drove when she visited Nigeria...
I wonder where your richest man was then that he was no where to be found...

Go search for that documentary and watch so that you don't keep celebrating your ignorance on NL... Thank yhu

Smh. So that someone provided the car Queen Elizabeth drove made him the richest Nigerian?

freshdude99:
If Wikipedia is your reference, then think twice because the last time I checked no one recommends Wikipedia as a reference in any thesis. So try better next time because Wikipedia that I know has lost touch with reality sinx it's your type that update data base with fact they don't even verify before accepting it. Use Wikipedia on any of your reference and see if your supervisor won't give you Fffffffff

And this is an academic reference abi?


And why did the writer of L.Ojukwu's profile forget to refer to him as richest West African?

manie:
Read "The Makers and Making of Nigerian Private Enterprise" by Tom Forrest. As at 1930 Dantata was biggest depositor in the bank that metamophosed into First Bank, he was also the richest West African as at time.

Don't mind these guys.

freshdude99:
If he was the richest at that time where then place sir Louis Ojukwu who was then the richest man in west Africa...
Dude you seem to me the ignorant folk here

I don't talk without facts. Al-Hassan was officially the richest man in West Africa as at the time of his death in 1955.

Check the wiki profiles of both and see who was referred to as West Africa's richest man, then come back to tell me who's ignorant:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhassan_Dantata

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Odumegwu_Ojukwu

GodMode:
Richest man in what sector

I give up. So all Nigerian millionaires from 1800 made their money from oil? Can someone educate this dude that there was a time there was nothing like crude oil in Nigeria?

Even Dangote that is currently the richest man in Africa didn't make his money from oil. He made it from commodity trading, later manufacturing. His investment in oil and gas is less than 10% of his worth.

Get a brain.

GodMode:
Those ones did not work for their money... Its oil block that's keeping them afloat..

Ignorant.


Al-Hassan Dantata was already the richest man in West Africa before first oil was sold (shipped) in Nigeria in 1957! He had no idea what crude oil meant sef.

Arik Air

Johnson to Michael Aruemeni

My class is modified-Class A. I don't run out of airtime because my employers have arrangement with MTN to credit me with 50k airtime every month (later reduced to 30k, later 20k) in the last almost 4 years. I have never exhausted it, except when I'm outside Nigeria and I roam.

The difference between my category and OP's Class A is I'm not rich and it doesn't come from my pocket, but company's pocket.

anytexy:
Anybody who believes in that so called asset declaration of PMB and co is a gulible.. and a joker.

You can't declare people gullible without making a case for why they are. Tell us why we are gullible.

hamzyluv:
brother , are u in Nigeria during the periods ? if yes . . his primary form was paid for by his loyalties and people of northern States farmers association with selling of yam tubbers worth 5millions in just 2weeks... . . . ...

No, he said he borrowed from bank to buy the form, which is logical. The farmers' donation came much later.

huangcheng:
Present the CCB documents when you're ready to declare your assets to the public, this oral declaration is for the gullible. Not me!

And you think they will be foolish enough to declare something different from what they put in the CCB form when they know any investigative reporter can lay hands on the CCB document and publish to bust the lies, which is a bigger risk than not declaring at all?

The scammer should be arrested.

aristosoft:
Just wondering while an "Ordinary" ex-commissioner would have more assets than ab ex-military administrator of a state, ex-president and general of Nigerian Army, former minister for Petroleum resources.

Make a wail in the wailers' language.

#IseeAManofIntegrity

I work in an oil company and we engage law firms for legal services. A 1 hour review of work by a partner in a top law firm goes for as much as $2k (NGN400k). They bill in dollars (at least before Emefiele came up with anti-dollarizatoon policies).

If you're a partner in, not to talk of owning, a top law firm, you will easily be a millionaire.

APC can lie ooo...from 100 cows to 270 cows. From 1 million naira to 30 million naira, from 3 houses to 7 houses, chia this people think say all Nigerians na fool. Meanwhile, expect Mr Lai Mohamed to deny that Buhari and Osinbanjo did not tell us with their own mouth come 2019...APC na sure scam.

Buhari never said he had 1m, he never said he had 150 cows (at least in 2015). All these were fabrications by his cult followers.

By the way, if you have 30m, will you take 27m (90% of it) for a single transaction (election form)?

Mynd44:
All of you that have assets to declare please help me that don't have any.....please epp...

To get asset no difficult nah. Just say it. LOL.

APC never said that. Buhari never said that.

It is people that fabricate and pass around all manner of myths about Buhari.

No sane person will expect him to be worth N1m.

A sigh of relief at last. I was seriously worried when the 100 days count was gettiing close.

Not bad. I didn't expect to be worth less than that.

I didn't expect Osinbajo to be worth less either.

I think it's a good precedent.

Make I declare my asset too?

Omisore's looks the fakest. Who eats corn with two hands at the same time, except Baba Suwe that he looks like.

godoluwa:
do you knw d negative effect of food preservative? making their own money while killing us

Food preservatives are not necessarily poisonous. Or at least, not all are.

I guess we should stop taking apple which are not grown locally.

And this is even Ghana, not US, not China. You can harvest a crop in Ghana today and have it in Nigeria today, holding logistics constant.

Accra to Ibadan is actually closer than Jos or Makurdi (food capital of Nigeria) to Ibadan. So if you need preservatives to prevent spoilage of a produce from Ghana, you need it more to transport locally from some parts of Nigeria.

So what's the difference?The only argument is economic. Hardly any argument on health ground.

godoluwa:
dats y i dnt buy agric produce at shoprite. i cant just understand y shoprite decided to do such while we have more than enough. we need to say NO to all agric produce sold at SHOPRITE

They're in business to make profits, not necessarily to promote a local supplier.

They won't opt for it if it doesn't pay them.

Don't be surprised it may be of the same price - or even lower - with that of the roadside Mallam you talked about.
