Okorochas was right when he said hope is a pdp man in apc he has been proven right now. Well Rocha's has to deal with them in 2023 when apc zones presidency to him

Zone what? It's a dream. Wake up. I'm Igbo.

The only reason why he's suffering all that is because Tinubu, doesn't want any opposition from the South by 2023.

Officialgarri:
This is damage to public property. They should be shot on sight if they refuse arrest

Same fate befits your fada.

fk001:
But Igbo's are Slaves to PDP for live.



You can't deny it

People aren't slaves to Organizations. It is to individuals.

Kagawa10:
Lol. I engaged you, didn't i? I'm ready to take on anyone who wants to dispute the simple fact above. Thaat was just a summary post for ignorant folks out there

I challenge you. After spending over 28 trillion Naira in four years, you're busy saying
Zik museleum... Oga, a Bungalow house with long aluminum roof is that a national project? Google it. I was raised in Onitsha, that project is mockery to Nigeria.

Which of these inland ports are full in operation?, surprisingly it was an initiative of Jonathan's administration.

Our railways at itakpewarri, Lagos-ibadan, Lagos-Abeokuta, kaduna-abuja etc,
Please the trains are they in full operation, the answer is now. I was in Abeokuta last Sunday.

Is Abuja Air port terminal what we spent 28 trillion on?

Lagos-Ibadan road is still in progress since the time of Jonathan till now,its not yet done. I took on that same axis yesterday.

Enugu - Onitsha... Simply use Google map, you don't need to go far, that road is in a terrible condition. You can't wear white on the route.

You forgot Ogoni clean up... Less than 1% since after 4 years.

2rd Niger bridge, please show us pictures of any two laps on the foundation of that bridge.

Now I wish every igbo business and political leaders can just watch and learn from this tinubu man.
Hate him or love him, igbo leaders can learn a few.
There's a reason why the man holds the ace in Lagos.. There's a reason his words are law and nationally a leader in APC. like every Capone, he has more enemies than friends and surely one day, dead or alive, his reign shall end but whose wouldn't.
That said,
Igbo politicians and business leaders should look across the west and North to find that leaders who raise and make men last longer in OR out of power than those who seek to buy loyalty with money.
U cant count how many figures have come to limelight through tinubu. I mean men who he virtually made, they served, became Kings and still stay loyal to him cos he made them.
But an average igbo man wants to be the iroko. If u even raise your head, he tries to bring u down. Cos he's easily threatened.
I will advise the likes of Alex Otti, Uche Ogah, Soludo, etc... To start looking at young and purposeful men to send to the state assemblies, local govt chairmanship, federal appointments etc, for a start...
Tinubu is pan Yoruba... As long as u can buy into his ideas... Igbo leaders and family and friends that's why they often fade without power

Igbos don't celebrate slavery in any guise. In advance world the likes of America, Britain and EU, they don't allow power obsession in their domain. They don't allow individuals to be stronger than their institutions. Imagine left wing and right wing political groups loosing to Macron's tea party in France.

It's only in Monarchy system of government that such things happen, so... Take your slavery mentality to Saudi Arabia.

Art of shame.

Nurrex:
Rivers and Delta are Igbo states, and they are very high on the list. There is nothing like predominantly Igbos in your region, everybody is 1, just like Kano, borno, sokoto, kebbi are one, No one can come out and claim Kebbi isnt an Hausa state.

Yoruba man! Kai. I don't have any argument. Since SouthSouth is Igboland, you win.

Any other thing? Just remember we're the only reason why your states are still alive.

Nurrex:
LOL, brother states. Just like Rivers and Delta and the rest are JUST brother states to the main igbos, that's how Ekiti, Kwara, Lagos and Info are just brother states to the main Yorubas, and Kebbi, Sokoto, Niger, Taraba etc. Are the brother states to the main Hausa isn't it. So, it will just remain 2 or 3 states each that are the main Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa states, while the 27-30 rest are just brother states.


Nigerian has been classified into 3 Groups, Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba, you now tell me looking at your chart and re-reading my previous post the truth about Igbos.

My simple question is! Since they head crime, why is the states where they're predominantly major not on this list?

eagleeye2:
Even a dunce or imbecîle will be stupendously wealthy if he or she were to be gifted an oil well.

Sure!

Nurrex:
according to your chart, Lagos has the most populated inmates, we know lagos is the most populated state, the rivers, which is an Igbo state, rivers isn't that populated, I have nothing to say about rivers, then Kano, we know that kano is the second populated state, then Delta which is also an Igbo state Delta isn't that populated, I have nothing to say about delta. I hope you can look into it and see the message I'm trying to pass.

Sir... Igbos are not majority tribe in Delta and Rivers. They're SouthSouth, our brothers.

Why aren't they any predominant Igbo state?

eagleeye2:
Alakija that he is mentioning is a very poor comparison. The world is not celebrating Okonjo Iweala because she is a beneficiary of any oil well, but because of her intelligence.
Intelligence will trump money any day, any time.

He doesn't know. My second reply stated it clearly to him. How can you compare somebody who was gifted oil well as being intelligent and globally beneficial.

Nurrex:
I said most people in Lagos prisons are Igbos, where in the chart state Yorubas or Hausas are more. Lagos, ogun and Kano are the most populated states in Nigeria, surely their inmates will also be large in numbers, as for rivers and delta, I have nothing to saying about them, and I'm not saying they are known for crimes. Do more research and feed your ignorance with balance diet.

If... I may ask, why is any Igbo predominant states not on the list since there are ones in the prison? UN stated that Southeast is the most peaceful place in Nigeria, did you see that report?


That means Igbos are in majority in all these states, right?

How come there states have been topping in the three parallel examination in Nigeria for the past 16 years, not Lagos or Ogun since they have the majority in all these state?

Ejimagift:
Folorunsho Alakija is a world renowned successful business woman running a billion dollar oil conglomerate. She is known worldwide and Forbes acknowledged her fortunes. Okonjo can't even work as her PA.

Please on global level your Alakija doesn't come close to this woman both in influence and connection. We aren't talking about individuals who were gifted Nigeria oil well.

Ejimagift:
This woman is just overhyped. We have many Nigerian women who are better especially in the south west

Name one! Just one.

Nurrex:
her name wasn't stated and most people in Lagos prisons are Igbos, stop being tribalistic

Next time don't say things you aren't sure of. Learn to study things first, as not to pass for an idiot.

OKorowanta:
Respect your employers,una no go hear,now you dey lament.
you are not suppose to take sides on radio except its a station set for activism were activists can air their views.
For years i have listened to BBC radio and other international stations and you hardly notice were their allegiance is.
NBC alone will be upset if you're not diplomatic when on air.
Just do your work,take salary and go home and resume the next day
Na so e suppose be.

You're a big Chame to a decent society. He doesn't have a right to be critical if he feels disenfranchised, right?

No light
No road
Poverty
Insurgency

With all these you want him to praise the government of the day, right?

Olumyco:
GDP per Capital comes in when talking about equal wealth distribution/individuals wealth in a country. Its just a kind of healthy indicator to ascertain the wealth of the country in relation to its people. There are many factors that measures economy viability. For your information Equatorial Guinea, Secheylles, Gabon etc are toping GDP per Capital in Africa and this does not mean they have strong economy. Many of them even import more than they export. Their GDPs are low. That of South Africa is healthy and good becos they have high GDP and export more than they import. Compare to Nigeria wealth is more evenly distributed in South Africa and also individual there are richer due to the high GDP per Capital but economy wise in terms of GDP Nigeria as a Country is richer.

You've got some point, but then... The large volume of trade or GDP doesn't transcend to better economy, it's GDP per capital that determines. Example... South Africa standard of living is four times better than that of Nigeria.

GrossPrice:
Are you saying South Africa is economically more productive than Egypt or Nigeria?

Do you know how much get's repatriated from Nigeria to S.A
You have no idea !

Yes Sir. Reason is simple, the both of them generates almost the same amount of GDP, but the viability of an economy is measured by GDP per Capital, which is GDP divided by the population.

Secondly, they make hell of money from Nigeria, don't we have protectist law? Those laws that gives advantage to infant and indigenous companies. Don't blame them if they're involved in capital flight.

What a dumb post.

Under Obj, a plate of rice was no more than 1 Naira. Two wraps of Groundnut was 1 Naira. That's to tell you the worth of our money. Hence the money met by Obasanjo was a lot coupled with the fact that crude oil price kept on increasing under Obj.

I'm sorry if you didn't graduate from a university, this analysis is higher than school fees. I cant help you.

Work hard by increasing the number of attacks on all fronts.

babaolofin:
Firstly, you are totally wrong as what you posted above is never a response to the person you replied. I don't need to tell you about the relationship between economic policies in Nigeria and the effects on major economic partners like US, UK and China. Economic Attache in their embassies in Nigeria can give you a breakdown or Mr Henry Boyo and Bismarck Rewane can also be of help.

FDI flow into a nation is determined by several factors one of which is ROI and the operating environment. FDI must be beneficial to the host country and the Foreign Investor.If it benefits only the foreign investor then it is not clean business. Whenever the host country detects a leakage and blocks it, this can make foreign investors to leave and prevent the inflow of others with such mission. Also, foreign investors with fairly good intention may pull out of a country or stops business if the environment is very corrupt (high level corruption ).This happened during GEJ when USA stopped the purchase of our oil.

The average oil price is not the same price for all flavour of Crude oil. In 1999 Obj met Bonny Light (our oil) at a price less than $10. Countries with very few population even have high foreign reserves to stabilise their economy in the time of crises. In 2009, Russia used almost $200 billion to stabilise Rouble and economy. In Nigeria, despite oil getting to almost $130 / barrel one kobo was not saved by GEJ. The reserve Obj left since 2007 was depleted to less than $30 billion as at May 29, 2015 for a population of almost 200 million people with bad infrastructure . The PMB government has really tried. Kudos to the economic team.

Hahaha hah... The level of incoherence in your terms against the live Nigeria economic metrics is barbaric.


If you called GEJ tenure corrupt what do you make of the Buhari's tenure, Nigeria was ranked 148 the worst ever by Transparency International, the World number corruption watch dog, as yet you're saying otherwise.

Under Buhari Nigeria became the poorest nation, highest out-of-school children, 3rd highest IDP, 20 million job loss, yet you're defending the a colossal failure.

You said corruption according to you, drives away foreign investors, and you said there was more corruption during Jonathan's Era, how come, he had more foreign investments compared to immaculate Buhari?

Wait... Obasanjo met few population! Chai! Please use Google. We had a population of 120 million with $18 billion debt and $2 billion foreign reserve. Please what's the comparison?

Buhari met $ 26 dollars foreign reserve with a population of 200 million


Year Average Closing Price Year Low

2017 $50.84 $42.53
2016 $43.58 $26.21
2015 $48.72 $34.73

Please do the comparison.

GrossPrice:
Telegraph like Amnesty International will only generate content that makes them money.

Nigeria is currently second largest economy in Africa , and Lagos the sixth. Telegraph claims S.A is ahead of Nigeria.

Telegraph cites a "political blogger", in the U.K would the Telegraph ask a political blogger or a professor for an opinion?

But, Nigerians in Nigeria don't read or use their brains. We like asking a plumber how to fix an electrical fault.

Same way we need a western newspaper to tell us we are going to die, and fool's like you start clapping.

Foolish Nigerian Youth.

What's second largest economy? Aren't you educated to know that when you divide the volume of trade against the population, Nigeria becomes the poorest nation.

Nigeria. With an estimated population of 200 million, the West African country boast of $376.284bn in GDP, making Nigeria the highest GDP in Africa.

South Africa 50 million population
South Africa.
With a GDP of $349.299bn, South Africa is the second largest economy in the continent

Divide the population against the figures, you will know why South Africa minimum wage is N128,000, while Nigeria is N18, 000.

It will equally help you know why they have over 50,000 me, while we are struggling with 3000-4000mw.

priceaction:
They have started with their doom saying again. They talked about this 4 years ago, and they were proved wrong. At least we were able to survive and manage it well.This would have happened assuming ND avengers keep causing havoc but it was also well managed.The structures of Nigeria and Venezuela are different. venezuela is under sanction, nigeria, no. Venezuela has post unrest situations, not in nigeria, there is fractional supports of opposition government from surrounding countries including america but in nigeria, no opposition or parallel government as at now, and everyone has moved on except atiku and pdp that likely go to court. The structures on ground are not the same.

Yes, poor economic policies by buhari led government may allow some foreign investors to be skeptical about investing in nigeria but is not as bad as they foresee. The main problem is that many free and stolen money that many advanced countries like UK see from Nigerian government in the past has drastically reduced. They depend on those money to grow their own economy and now no free corrupt money while the one they are protecting are been put under pressure to be recovered. They should face their brexit wahala and leave us alone until things stabilize.

Stop pulling poo. What has UK or USA to do with your economic metrics? Bad economic policies is rocking the boat of Nigerian economy. The people are getting poorer, the prices of goods are getting out of hand. If the government have saved and returned stolen funds as you said... Why aren't we better off when the thieves were there?

Need I remind you that Obasanjo oil for $17 per barrel for one year, after that $27,$23,$24 throughout his first tenure, with debt of $18 billion.

Buhari doesn't know anything about economics. Don't you understand that Ghana 7 times small than Nigeria economics, attracts more direct foreign investment.

It would have been better to resume your Biafra or death National Anthem protest than peddling this fake news up and down

If you can get enrolled into a secondary, your future will be certainly okay. Punch Newspaper is Biafra, that's the reasoning of somebody's son.

Agboro loyalty! Slavery runs in the vains of sons of fallen demons.

lexyking:
Hmmmm I'm kind of trying to avoid starting a useless ego competition between our two tribes because my hands are itching me to type names and I'm afraid that if I do it, others not just you will jump on it and we will start the usual childish competition of who the best is. But trust me bro for every name you mentioned up there I have three people of Yoruba descent for them however because this argument is not about tribal supremacy I wont dabble into it. So I will live you with your beliefs as to who's right between us, only time will tell.
Btw I like your attitude of staying on the topic and not giving in to insults kudos to you, I wish that we all can make our points without pulling others down or resorting to insults

I have a million respect for you and your great personality. I wish to always cross your path on issues of intelligence. Trading words and throwing tantrums is the hallmark of the unlettered, cheers.

lexyking:
You still did not get my point? The traders are not as important as the customers, so if they moved back to the east, dont you think other tribes will also boycott there products in favor of there tribal ones? And as for the people you mentioned in your post, so you think igbos have more of this caliber of people than Yorubas? REALLY? I dont think I should call names but if you want me to I will.

Brother won't be enemies, because you will want nations that will buy produce from you. Bilateral trade deal allow exchange of certain goods and services between two nations.

My Brother the names I gave you, there's only one name in Nigeria that betters or equals them... Which is Wole Soyinka.

BabaRamota1980:
Ibo is no interested in politics is always your escape when you loose a political battle.

Few weeks ago you all filled the intwrnet with LIKES for ATIKU. You all abandoned Kanu and became ATIKULATE......but you say you are not interested in Nigerian politics. I wonder what would happen if you were interested.

In monetary capacity you are behind Yoruba, in individual wealth you are behind Yoruba, in regional wealth you are behind Yoruba. What really is your claim to power or leadership? Nothing but mouth qnd empty chest beat.

You call North capital of poverty yet your entire village has emptied out to go and find survival in poverty up North.

Mmmtchhhew....iranu!

Igbos didn't vote Buhari in 2015, they didn't have any of their son in quest for presidency or vice, for them Buhari wasn't an option.

They will rather vote Sowore than Buhari. If Igbos are found in the North, it's to exploit their opportunities. Americans, Chinese and Europeans don't come to Africa for fun, but to exploit our ignorance.

Igbos aren't interested in Nigeria, that's the only reason why they keep asking for Biafra.

BabaRamota1980:
If scholarship is what makes leadership Trump would never have won a council chairman election in US much more becoming President.

He became President because of political intrigue.

Does Ibo have any political heavyweight anywhere in Nigeria? Answer is NO. Ekweremadu is your highest political office holder and the man is not intriguing in politics.

Hahaha hah... I hope you didn't smoke something too strong for you brain? I wasn't talking anything regarding Igbo politics much more Ekweremadu.

For your information, scholarship is different from scholars.

But if you know, Igbos aren't interested in Nigeria politics, what we need is good governance irrespective the person their.

Why is the North the poverty capital of the world, illiteracy, diseases and insurgency inflicted? If that's what you enjoy as winning the presidency have it all to yourself.
