Northern Nigeria Muslims are the most backward Muslims in the world. Even the Saudi’s , the Egyptians, the Morrocans, Algerians and Tunisians are not as backward as our northern brothers.

Paul Ogwuma is still very much alive.
You should find out.

So this man never came back to Nigeria.

TWO RAMS CANNOT DRINK WATER FROM THE SAME BUCKET. This man is a deep thinker. A ram represents an Aries entity meaning a spiritually dead entity operating under a universal curse of ham. The curse of powerlessness which is why they are eating from the bucket. The bucket represents death hence the saying KICK THE BUCKET. So basically the man was saying THERE IS NO POINT EXISTING IN A COUNTRY WHERE EVERYONE IS CURSED AND SPIRITUALLY DEAD. LET ME BOUNCE TO A COUNTRY WHERE THERE ARE NO CURSES AND PEOPLE ARE SPIRITUALLY AWARE 🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️

Also the sign of spiritual death is the huge coiled up ineffective horn. Two of those horns will prevent each other from drinking at the same time so basically there is no salvation living among fellow dead people. You have to port to the land of the living to get salvation is his message and truly Nigeria is a spiritually dead zone. Anywhere that is religiously dominated by churches and mosques is a spiritually dead place. Those institutions are setup by demons to tether your souls to the literal exegesis of the sacred texts. Make you a zombie

Oh boy this your interpretation deep but it makes sense.

Make you no hustle your own bread. Siddon there dey compile list up and down. Nonsense.

It is just surprising some people hold pepper and they still siddon for obodo oyinbo.

DeLaRue:
I understand, but to do it nationwide in a way that brings it within the reach of majority of the population is near impossible. The bureaucracy needed to get it going across the country and maintain it will be the equivalent of running a national census or elections on a daily basis. The paper work involved will be crippling. The inevitable corruption that will bedevil it will ultimately break it.

South Africa is larger than Nigeria by size. And they are fed by not more than 30 oligarchs farmers, same thing Namibia.

budaatum:
Government will not buy at market rate, but will instead set the market rate, which will be much lower than is profitable for the farmer who might not have an alternative market.

A smart farmer would of course not sell to the government and export to Timbuktu instead where prices are much better. And government will have to import to feed you which will inflate the cost of food and deflate the value of the Naira.

The end point would be that after government deducts administration fee and bribe for purchasing from particular farmers (who would not be your small farmers but large industrial farmers), the food you get for N5000.00 would be worth less than N2000.00.

Do know the farmers that feeds the whole of South Africa and Namibia are not more 30.

TOPCRUISE:
Deinde Fernandez should be excused if that is the case. But Dan Etete would not. Because his ministerial role was not held in Italy. That kind of clearance given to him will be based on compassionate grounds.

The thread is about Nigerians who are wealthy but for whatever reason choose not to come home. And Fernandez is one of such person. Dan Etete if he comes home today who’s going to charge him. Obj wanted catch him . I doubt whether Tinubu would follow that line of action. Deviant and Aluko there case is still hot.

point.

There is nothing communist about 2 of his suggestions. The one about groceries is unlikely to be practicable.

But the Groceries suggestion is what Lagos state is trying to do but needs a little tweeking to get it right.

If you are a good economist inflation is the easiest thing to curb. Find what is causing the inflation

1 transport cost that should be taking off once fruit & vegs are purchase & warehouse in the cooperatives. The cooperatives on the hand would sell to the people at subsides rate. Bingo inflation over

2. Gasoline since government cig powered Lorrie’s would be doing the delivery to the cooperatives that would be reduced to the bearest minimum .

budaatum:
In order to subsidise to feed you, government will buy cheap from farmers, who will then find it unprofitable to plant food so food gets imported at inflated prices.

Trust me. You are worth far more than 30k a month or you at least ought to be.

They buy it at market rate from farmers. Farmers are not losing. The government would now subsidise it or even deduct N5000.00 from your pay for you use the cooperatives.

Blue3k:
Let's just become communist already. Forget the wages they can decide what we eat, where we live, where we work and how many kids we have. The state has proven to be good at running schools, the electrical grid and other industries like oil refineries. Revolution now comrades.

Not communist but a welfarist state like Sweden and co.

There is what is called deflation. When prices starts tumbling downwards. Look if we look inwards produce what we eat, build our little houses with our own products and have free transport. Naira would not only gain value the 30,000 Naira of today may actually fall to the equivalent of $1,000.00

1. Free transport to work

2. Subsidised homes. Like the ones built by shagari in the 80’s . Little one two & 3 bedroom houses. They would pay N5000.00 per month

3. Build large cooperative stores that would sell groceries at rock bottom price. That means government would buy fruit and vegetables from farmers and subsidies them. Including meat rice& fish.


It can be done. There would be know reasons to increase wages which would eventually lead to a runaway inflation. The 650,000 labour is asking for would lead to runaway inflation just like in Zimbabwe.

I can see the Governors falling in line. The foot soldiers getting ready for d day.

LP is means to get a foot on the ladder. Once in u join BAT

In other words all these are notable and notorious thieves that fleeced the Nigerian treasury after looting it.

Deinde Farnendez has never held government job in Nigeria. Dan Etete has been cleared in an Italian court.

Look at that Russian lady that is in Lagos the kind of traffic she has on social media is astonishing. Same thing that wannabe musician from Ghana, he too is drawing traffic to his antics on social media.

Now Prince Harry & his madam came to Naija the traffic drawn to them was immeasurable. Are they sure they came for invictus game. Or they came so as to trend🤔

We go soon begin charge all this people using our 200 million strength to trend oh!

Abi l lie??

Moreover both seal & Sade Adu no hold pepper reach the least rich of those 4 which Kola Aluko.

illicit:
Seal comes to Lagos

Seal was born in England.

Seal is British so not qualified. I think Sade Adu was born Ibadan if I am not mistaken.

Looks like there is no vacancy in 2027. Tinubu is not Jonathan that you would push aside oh. He is a God Father and when d battle is drawn he would gather his troops accordingly.

Watch this space.

BigIyanga:
Oga read deep not gossip blog sites abd whatsapp msgs…He was an average 9-5worker in the US until he got a Naija oil contract. His co CAMAC was registered to trade in agricultural products like rice and cocoa… but his Naija connect, he pivoted to Oil/Energy.

Well those 4 and maybe the Seal the singer. This chap Lawal does not qualify. Seal is another one, na only oyinbo girls he dey date. I don’t think he has been back home since he left Naija.

richard870:
You forgot "Chicago Billionaire" Harry Akande, was once named the 7th wealthiest man in the world and wealthiest in Africa

He returned to Nigeria.

Yankee101:
A good number of political actors have homes abroad in the UK, US, Dubai etc

They and their kids have residencies and citizenship of these countries

Do not be deceived. They’re wrecking the country knowingly and preparing a plan B for themselves

But they still live in Nigeria. Having a home abroad is not d criteria. It is having a home abroad and no send Naija at all.

BigIyanga:
Not true.
Hernandez families came back from Brazil during slavery.. They became huge slave, cocoa, and mineral merchants during colonialism…

Per Kase Lawal, he made his $$$ 100% from Naija thru Rilwan Lukman when Shagari/GMB was the president.

I don’t believe that. I think he made his money in the US

entrepreneur Kase Lawal is the epitome of the American dream. Arriving to the US a young, idealistic student, Lawal has carved a name for himself in one of the most competitive industries in the world: Oil.
Now head of a multi-billion dollar empire, his Houston-based company, CAMAC, is one of the largest black-owned businesses in the U.S., generating over $2 billion dollars a year.
Founded nearly 25 years ago, Lawal built CAMAC (which stands for Cameroon-American) from a small agriculture business into a global oil company. But it's taken a lot of hard work, determination and guts to get him to the top.
Born and raised in Ibadan, Nigeria in 1954, Lawal became interested in America and its civil rights movement during his teens. After finally persuading his father, a local politician, to send him to university in America, Lawal headed to Georgia and then Houston, where he attended the Texas Southern University.
After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering in 1976, Lawal, like many of his classmates, started out as a graduate in the energy industry. First as a chemist for Dresser Industries (now Halliburton) and then as a chemical engineer with Shell Oil Refining Co.

During this time he met his wife, Eileen through a mutual friend and had his three children.
Now married and settled, it wasn't long before the innovative young Nigerian started to implement his business ideas.
In 1986 he established CAMAC, a company trading agricultural commodities such as sugar, tobacco and rice. In the early 90s he made the leap into the energy sector after the Nigerian government started to develop its energy market.
With his knowledge of Nigeria and his Houston address, Lawal was ideally positioned to attract major oil companies. In 1991 CAMAC made a deal with the oil giant Conoco, agreeing to jointly operate and share production from any Nigerian discoveries.
This turned out to be Lawal's big break.
With his political contacts, local market knowledge and now with the backing of a major oil firm, Lawal's Houston-based company became an instant player in the energy industry.
As Lawal told CNN: "That partnership I believe was the cornerstone of the CAMAC that you know today. Subsequently with that credibility and the advantage of partnering with Conoco, we were also able to partner with BP and also with Statoil of Norway and currently we have made a partnership with Eni, the largest Italian company, which is one of the top five oil companies in the world."
Now CAMAC has offices in London, Johannesburg, Lagos and Port Harcourt, Nigeria and is involved in oil exploration, refining and trading.
He was awarded the USAfrica Business Person of the Year in 1997 and in 2002 CAMAC was named the largest African-American owned company on the Black Enterprise 100s list.

The Lawal is doing great in the US hardly comes home.

Seyi Tinubu, Mr Tinubu’s 37-year-old son who has long cornered the outdoor advertising market in Lagos, was said to have bought the property in 2017, according to a report by business outlet Bloomberg.

The medium in a story out Tuesday morning said Seyi used an offshore shell company Aranda Overseas Corporation to close the purchase, which was facilitated through Deutsche Bank. The property is reportedly tucked in an elite neighbourhood in North London.


The report further described the property as a private three-floor residence in St. John’s Wood, equipped with an eight-car driveway, two gardens, electric gates and a gym.

The property had been previously confiscated around 2016 from Kola Aluko, a notorious oil dealer who reportedly connived with former oil minister Diezani Alison-Madueke to fleece Nigeria for nearly half a decade. Shortly after assuming office in May 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari started going after people suspected to have illegally enriched themselves under President Goodluck Jonathan (2010-2015).

Mr Aluko bought the property for about $15 million in 2013, indicating that it was sold four years later for a lower price, an uncommon scenario for such an upmarket neighbourhood.

Bloomberg said it could not immediately find indications that Mr Tinubu, 71, was involved in the purchase, but the affair could nonetheless strengthen critics’ arguments that Mr Buhari was transferring stolen assets he seized from cronies of his predecessor to his own cronies. Mr Tinubu has publicly claimed credit for making Mr Buhari president in 2015, although the Nigerian leader, in a rare pushback last year, said his victory was a collective effort.

Kay25:
Add harry akande too to the list

Harry Akande returned to Nigeria in 1971 and had a lot of business in Nigeria. He did not abandon his homeland.

An appointee threatening an elected officer. What was she smoking 🚬

BigIyanga:
Bayo also made his $$ from Naija. His friend Dr Hakeem Belo Osagie was a special adviser to Naija and they went to the same school… connected him to a US company handling LNG project… he got drafted to handle the project because of his Naija background, accounting and law degrees.

Hard to find any Naija rich person who made money without Naija connect.

The only that stands out is Deinde Farnendez, but there is one Lawal guy in the US who is stupendously rich that has nothing to do with Nigeria.
