Wetin do vision 2020

It was first Vision 2010, but when they saw that year 2010 was fast approaching and they have not achieved any of the set agenda, Obasanjo's government shifted it to Vision 2020. Now we are already in year 2020 yet the useless Nigerian government have not achieve even a single item in the Vision. They are again shifting it to 2050. They should keep shifting it. Unserious leaders.

I agree with Lagos being more ubarnized but I disagree with onitsha being more ubarnized than ibadan, kano and Kaduna

I have been to onitsha, onitsha is a glorify shithole

In terms of ubarnized area no state in the south east is close to Kaduna

Kaduna is not only more urbanized... Kaduna is more develope

If you look at that data, they were not talking about the most beautiful, the most advanced, the most modernized or the cities with the best standard of living. I believe the ranking is based on cities with highest concentration of buildings per square kilometres, not minding the nature of the structures (mud house/modern house/hut) or whether there are adequate social amenities present or not.

Our daddy in the house. If you ain't married, I will like to give you my younger sister free of charge. She's so pretty with big front and back my daddy . That is the seed I want to give to you

Greek gift!

BafanaBafana:
The governor has no right to grant amnesty to someone who is wanted by the military so I don't think the military or the federal government was part of the amnesty. It was just a charade by Ortom in his usual folly.

What about the amnesty granted to Fulani bandits by Zamfara State and Katsina State government, and also recently by Sokoto State government? So that one is okay because it involves Fulanis. One day all these double standards will stop.

Ghana with just 7 plots of land is the real giant of Africa, to slap you just dey hungry me.

I don't know why some of you talk this way. Is it out of ignorance? For your information, Ghana is far bigger than the whole of southern Nigeria (SouthWest+South South+SouthEast) by landmass. Southern Nigeria (SW+SS+SE) has an approximate total landmass of 193,777sq.km. On the other hand, Ghana has a landmass of 238,535sq.km. If you are in doubt, go and research about it. At least, the internet is available.

iampeterben:
Congratulations to the president of Ghana. Gradually, the title as the giant of Africa is leaving us oh! APC! CHANGE!

In the first place, nobody gave Nigeria the title "giant of Africa". We arrogated it to ourselves. It's just self-deception.

YorubaRitualist:
Which north,hope you are not counting on the middle belterners including southern kaduna and southern borno people you have been killing to join in your madness .oga,go and rest.start any nonsense and watch the whole South East and south south region take care of your madness.it's foolanis vs the rest of the Nigeria.foolanis have been killing innocent nigerians and nobody have threatened to kill innocent ones cause of it

Don't mind him, he probably thought we are still in the 1960s when the rest of Nigeria ignorantly joined to fight against the Igbos. I'm not Igbo, but any mistake to initiate mass attacks against the Igbos may signal the irreversible end of Nigeria because no reasonable tribe will again join hands with Hausa/Fulani to war against the Igbos. They will be in for a big surprise. Count Urhobo out of any fight against Igbos. The earlier they (Hausa/Fulanis) take note of this the better for them.

Arrewa:
you will get what you are looking for.

Trust the north...

I'm not Igbo but the way you northern Muslims talk sounds as if you have monopoly of violence. Is it because the South have been very patient and tolerant of your excesses? You think we are still in the 1960s when the whole South foolishly turned against the Igbos by joining hands with northerners? If the whole South unite to say no, you think you can withstand us? Mr man, any attempt at another civil war will trigger the final and irreversible disintegration of Nigeria because every tribe is already fed up with "one Nigeria" , and no one will be ready to join hands against the Igbos again. Be guided.

oneeast3:
Show me one college or even church in Rivers state that is older than DMGS, CKC or QRS all in Onitsha. These colleges were established by the British in Onitsha because they actually settled down in Onitsha, something they never did in Rivers except using coastline for movement of slaves trade. They never established anything in the present day Niger delta like they did in Onitsha. Why?

Are you talking about the British? The British were not among the earliest European explorers/traders to visit what is now known as Nigeria. For your information, the British were late-comers (arrived around 1700AD-1800AD), and they came with the mindset to claim territory and colonize people that was why they started building schools, hospitals, etc at where they settled. On the contrary, the earliest Europeans to visit this part of the world (Niger Delta) were the Portuguese, the Dutch, the Spaniards, the Swedes and the Danish (they arrived as early as 1300AD-1400AD). They didn't came to colonize the natives but to trade with them, and that was why they didn't embark on building of those facilities. Nevertheless, their legacies/footprints still visible along the coast of Nigeria particularly the Niger Delta. For examples, towns such as Escravos, Forcados, and Lagos are names derived from the Portuguese. The Portuguese were also the ones that named rivers such as River Ethiope and River Sombriero. There are also several Portuguese words still noticeable in the native languages in the Niger Delta due to long period of trade. E.g. in the Urhobo language, words such as ORO (gold), sabato (sandals), kujere (spoon: the Portuguese call it colher), etc were words derived from the Portuguese language as a result of the trade contact. Infact, Portuguese would have been the official language of the Niger Delta supposing they came with the intention of colonization as the British did.

mamaafrik:
I noticed that South South and south east has most flair for Western culture more followed by SW,North is the most lackadaisical to Western world but same North is also the first to get indoctrinated to Arabian culture absorbing their names,way of live etc.
I think it has to do with foreign culture's age of encounter and the affinity to their culture by locals.

The Moslem North have almost lost all their African culture (e.g names, marriage rites, etc) in favour of Arabic culture.

MrOjay1:
But how come the first mission school in Nigeria was established in Badagry?

That first mission school was built in the 1800s AD, but early European explorers and merchants have been in contact with the Binis and Niger Delta coastal communities as far back as 1400s AD.

MrOjay1:
i have always thought it was the yorubas(the ones living in Lagos) that first came in contact with the Europeans.

And the Europeans also lived long in YorubaLand(Lagos) before permeating other regions.

They stayed long enough in Lagos to establish the first mission school(Badagry and CMS)...so why weren't their surnames influenced?

I think it was the Benin kingdom the Europeans (particularly the Portuguese) first had sustained contact and trade relationship with more than 500years ago (in the 1400s AD).

Why not use Nigerians. This is Nairaland, let's learn to nigerialised our write up

Nigeria Na copy copy.

Judolisco:
Thank God it's coming from Niger state were power is being generated if not I would have called the state big for nothing ...so d state is not totally useless, Niger state should invest more in agriculture

Kainji Hydro Power station generate just about 760mw of electricity which is meagre, whereas Delta State alone generate over 1000mw electricity from about four gas fired thermal power stations.

Trumpcard05:
Good development. Ideally there shouldn’t be any violence, but for misguided elements fueled by desperation.

I hope this signals the stop to all forms of violence as well as plans to rig. If those two elements are eschewed, we Edolites know clearly where the pendulum will swing.

4+4 = 8. Torgba! Ogbane my men!!

Let me translate your Bini into Urhobo: 4+4=8. Jorgba! Ogbare my men!!

ForeThinker:
I'm basically not trying to justify the figures uprightly .but don't forget to include the foreigners living and working in Nigeria as well

And some individuals operate three to five sims actively.

Stephenlord:
it's sad these guys are using their talents and wisdom to grow other countries but here the only thing remaining is for Them to appoint aboki for alter


meanwhile
Igbo amaka!

Aboki wey no know anything. Look at the way Nigeria is virtually retrogressing because of tribalism. Square pegs in round holes! We often see other tribes excelling and making waves abroad but you hardly hear about the Hausa/Fulani doing same outside Nigeria. How can the country progress when dullards and backward thinking people are in charge of governance due to nepotism.

freshwaters:
Lol it's funny.

How will they do it when in practice every lawyer is required to obtain his NBA seal which is prerequisite to filing matters in court. Will they have NNBA seals?.

The person who wrote these letters, if he's to file a case in the court, he will use same NBA seal to attach on it.

And the NBA isn't just anyother association, it's a creation of law.

This divisiveness needs to stop. Young lawyers aren't happy with NBA, it's been a voiceless body but it requires collective efforts to correct it and one of those happened during the election of Olamide Akpata. First none SAN President of NBA

Just watch out, the Buhari's Islamic and tribalistic government may soon give them fraudulent legal backing using Malami.

Donated to Chad a landlocked country?? Am I the only one seeing this?

Parts of Lake Chad are in Chad Republic.

Cyberterror:
OUK is the choice of God and man. He is so much loved. He is a unifier who will bring our country together and make us stronger as one. When he was governor of Abia state, he built the largest cattle market in the whole southeast in Lokpanta where northerners and other Nigerians come to trade. He speaks Igbo, Hausa and Kanuri fluently. He is a pan Nigerian. An embodiment of the Nigerian dream. OUK 2023.

Because he built cattle market, speaks Hausa and Kanuri languages he is therefore a pan Nigerian. For heaven's sake why do many Southerners always ass-lick Hausa/Fulani, a people that are not as educated and exposed as you? Do you know there are over 300 languages in Nigeria? Do OUK also speak them? Why do you assume Hausa language is better than the rest? We Southerners really need to work on ourselves.

TruthinAction:
The Senators received 20 million naira as palliatives while the house of Representatives members received 15 million naira as palliatives. In addition IMC said they gave 30,000 to Nigerians. Please if this is true, they should tell us who they gave the 30,000 naira. This information is enough for us to go to the streets. No wonder the office of the accountant general was engulfed in flames when the Senate wanted the list of beneficiaries. They just shut up the mouth of legislators by dividing the monies amongst themselves.

IMC is making all these claims so they will withdraw all corrupt charges against them. They are all corrupt. May God judge them all.

Do you take Cairo Ojougoh serious? That man talks carelessly. Ojougoh is just trying to divert public attention from the corruption leveled against him and the IMC by the National Assembly through blackmail. Do you actually believe a member of the National Assembly receives N100million monthly as impress?

Olalekank:
Wtf

How did we get here?
How’s this supposed to happen?

You know the looters but cannot release their names? That’s absolutely insane!

E no go better for all these leaders

BTW
What’s so breaking about releasing the name of looters?

Don't mind that man Cairo Ojougoh. He is an alarmist and that is his stock in trade. He is saying all these to divert people's attention from his looting spree in the NDDC. How on earth is he entitled to a whopping N18milion monthly as impress? That is to show you how Ojougoh and co with active connivance with Akpabio are currently embezzling funds met for Niger-Delta's development. We from Delta State know him as one of the very corrupt politicians in the state right from his days in PDP. Is Cairo Ojougoh not Ibori boy? He is part of those who underdeveloped Delta.

SouthNigerian:
I am not that moved by the cockiness of the North, ranging from its Elders to its Youths.

I am so moved by the "slow pace of aggressive actions" maintained by my South West Leaders.

Is it until Northern Councilors start dishing orders to SW Governors?

In case the SW Leaders don't know, Community Police that's about to be implemented in the Society will be filled with Miyetti Allah Militants whose aim is to master the Southern Territory and liquidize Amotekun & IPOB from the inside should they try to oppose the Government's Next Level Dictatorship. Community Policing was the Security Outfit the Miyetti Allah's Leader threatened to implement across the Nation.

I am crying because I fear many of you Southerners who are sleeping at the edge of the Cliff
.
Call Your Leaders To Join Heads Together Now Before Yall Wake Up In Turbulent Waves.

The only way to tackle the North on this scale is to come face to face with her; give her what she gave you; take back what she took; then the contest starts.

Southerners are so are so naive and lack political strategy. Despite our so called education, the northerners who are barely literate still destiny of this country with their conservative backward views. Truth is the Moslem North never see us as compatriots rather, they see us as arch-rivals and are very determined to dominate the South. Their plans towards the South are not of good. The earlier we Southerners wake up and be vigilant to counter all their evil plans, the better for us and future generations.

You can see the difference

But this is assembling now. There is nothing in the pictures to prove that the parts were manufactured there.

GamalNasser:
No I mean Re-Badging like this

Both companies do same thing; they repackage/ rebadge Chinese automobile brands.

andyanders:
Exactly. What they are facing is what they have planted long time ago and it is confronting them. Christians in Kaduna should relocate. I know it is not easy having been born grew up there for a long time, but they have to move rather to be slaughtered like cows who they, the fulanies are.

What are you saying? Northern Christians should relocate from their own ancestral lands and leave it for Fulanis who are not indigenes? What sort of cowardice advice is that? It's like saying Yoruba people should relocate from Ibadan just because Fulanis who are strangers are attacking them.

sampopey:
Have lost my sense of smell and taste for almost two months now and still counting. Was briefly down with malaria which I treated but the loss of smell still persist. It is a constant source of worry to me.

Mine is over three months now I have not regained my sense of smell though my sense of taste is gradually coming back to normal.

Franking:
They don't have a single drop of oil but they control every part of NNPC. They don't have a single inch of ocean but they control the NPA and maritime. But Igbos are the problem.

We Southerners caused it. We have been cowards over the years.If not for our docility, who is that aboki that will come all the way from the dry poverty-stricken Sahel region to be heading all the lucrative establishments in the evergreen South?

donnie:
You and I know the answer to that question.

The way and manner we Christians run our church is non of your business. We don't interfere in the way you Moslems run your mosque.

donnie:
Mosques don't run like businesses.

Is it Church that is run like business? You can't mock God Mr man.

helinues:
Should that be the right question to ask at this time...

Let's see how government will oversee church income and then we can determine the level of transparency.

No going back about this...

let your Islamic government go and oversee mosque income first. The trouble that Buhari is looking for may overwhelm him soon.
