If we follow your timeline then we have another 18 months to wait before any action occurs. Unfortunately the situation deteriorates so fast that there's not time to be twiddling your thumbs deliberating.

There's no excuse for tardiness.

Any laws passed recently?, (silence)

Any sacred cows put to the sword?, (even more silence).

Any major pending projects commissioned and completed ?, (the silence is getting irritating).

Any new major forward-looking policy changes in sports, (sound of the breeze)

In power, (still silence)

In mining, (silence).

Main output: Plans, communiques, retreats, strategy sessions, intentions, goals, aims, reasons, motives, anything but action.

as a fifth-year medical student, you are clearly studious enough. Just carry over that studiousness and attention to detail.

visit sites like www.codinghorror.com to learn best practices and ask questions on www.stackoverflow.com anytime you get stuck in your coding (do some work before you go there, dont expect them to solve it if you havent at least worked on it).

Last Note: Master one programming language before you start jumping around.

cheers.

English pls.

The cheating ones(not all nigerian women) are like cars in motion. They have something they want and YOU ARE NOT IT. so they keep moving till they GET IT.

definitely front page material

Oga musiwa, i think you really need to open a blog.

Doctor, Lagos is a better idea simply because your business doesnt exist in a vacuum and the bulk of your likely customers have their head offices in Lagos. Besides as a logistics firm, closeness to the ports is a good idea.

nice plot. waiting to see if he'll be able to make a successful comeback.

afam4eva:
People like Kodewriter have the mentality of people that died before 1960. This is 2011 dude. The world is a global village and democratically the minority will have a say and the majority will everly have their way. I still think the Yorubas are a majority in Lagos, closely followed by Igbos. If in the future the Igbo population surpasses that of Yorubas in lagos then common sense will tell you that they'll have their way.

you actually wish that would happen. Hence the repetition. But wishing it wont make it happen.

Since its a global village, please head northeast to Tokyo and contest for mayor. You refuse to accept reality and thats the simple basic truth. I take it as a compliment that you love that city that much but keep it in mind, that you are still a stranger.

I know you started a dumb thread and your a.s.s is now on fire, but stop defending the indefensible.

KnowAll:
You don't have the slightest clue what democracy is all about, All this your yearn IS nothing more than utter sentimentalism combined with shameless sensationalism. The fact of the matter and the bone of contention is, if your people have not got the numbers they don’t get the votes. Shikena!!!

even more B.ull.shi.t.

Its your numbers we are disputing, maga.

Besides, even if they win that election, it WILL BE OVERTURNED. its that simple.

Besides anything you have to say is moot. You are not resident in nigeria and do not know enough about it to make comments. You are definitely NOT YORUBA and you probably only read about dangote on the web once you grew old enough to surf without supervision.

This is the cold hard reality of life in nigeria. There are ANCESTRAL LANDS. There are INDIGENES. Indigenes have RIGHTS as distinct from SETTLERS.

You are the one who lives in cuckoo land. Nowhere in the world do people willing give up legacies bequeathed by their ancestors without being compelled forcefully. Not Saudi Arabia, Not Japan, Not China. If such people are so concerned with serving their country, then they should go where they are needed most. Not Lagos but KANO. He can do more service there.

He is permitted under the law but he is NOT ENTITLED to it simply because he employs people there. Otherwise Yoruba CEOs of oil servicing firms would have a right to contest for governorship in Rivers and cross-rivers.

Face the reality, we are a conglomeration of nations, and as far as the yoruba NATION is concerned, Dangote IS NOT A CITIZEN.

One other thing: I am ok with being ineligible for governorship in Lagos because they are also ineligible for Governorship in my state. Obviously people serve as commissioners across state boundaries (current Osun governor Aregbesola was a commissioner in Tinubu's cabinet). That doesnt mean a Non-Yoruba can simply walk into office there.

Respect your landlords.

KnowAll:
The problem with people like you is you live in denial, you live in a cuckoo land and therefore cocooned from the reality of the day, you still think Lagos of 2011 is the same as Lagos of 1954 where Yoruba’s constituted like 97% of the population. Mr Man wake up from your slumber and smell the coffee, today the Igbo’s alone can boast of a population between 36% to 40% of the total population of the city not taken into account all other ethnic groups.

If we are to combine all other groups together as one group inclusive of the Igbo’s, I am afraid to burst your bubble Yoruba’s would be in the minority.

Don’t forget as the adjoining Yoruba states prosper many people are leaving Lagos in droves to their respective SW states since acquiring land, properties and other holdings is much more cheaper than getting them in Lagos, so is the quality of life many aspire to live especially the older folks.

basing your thoughts on questionable statistics from the irresponsible comments of a desperate politician is not a good idea. 97% no. 79% to 85% yes.

We are still largely the majority.

[size=8pt][size=8pt]According to the founder, the “university was designed to correct the rot in the education system of the country and also improve standards.
[/size][/size]
he doesnt hava to defend his decision to establish a university with such crap. Even a dumb-Bottom knows that his decision is strictly business motivated. . . . . .ptshew

but you agree that there's some rot in the system and also that as a founder he has to market his university well.

Lets allow them start before we judge them.

if you want to buy, where is the best place to buy? which are the most important food crop towns in the middle belt?

Just want to know where the major distribution points are in the middle belt.

KnowAll:
Lagos is not different from Accra. Accra once used to be Ga Tribe territory today, the ashantes from central region in Ghana have over-run the city and are now controlling every facet of that city except of course the Traditional Kingship. Democracy is a numbers game, if the Yoruba population keeps on dwindling that opens avenue for all other tribes to run for office. All I would say is " Never say Never".

compared to the Ashantes, the Ga are a tiny tribe. Compared to Hausa/Igbo we are not. So your assertion is wrong AGAIN.

Igba wo lawon were yi ma to gbon. Ti won ba bi babanla baba yin, e nowo soke fun governorship. Iya yen a poju.

God bless the non-yoruba i.di.ot that decides to waste his hard earned wealth on elections. You will be remembered just like Dele Momodu as the one-vote man.

Frankly, as someone said earlier on one of the posts, Lagos is the one place where yorubas can shed their dialects and mix. as such, it has more significance than just being a trading center. It is now a major part of our psyche and not to be trifled with.

Cry foul all you want about nigeria being retrogressive but the fact is that I have not seen a chinese of african origin holding any political post or a black prime minister in Japan. That's not happening anytime soon even if you make billions as sole spare parts marketer to toyota.

KnowAll:
I guess Mayor Bloomberg of NYC is too big to be a Mayor despite been a billionaire. You have to understand Mayor Bloomberg would rather be d Mayor of NYC than be d Governor of NY State. People run for office to protect their own intrest moreso a Billionaire who has made his money in that particular City.

Stop using examples from a nation of immigrants. they are all newcomers and no one has more claim than the next over there. We Yorubas have been living here (the awori have been there for centuries) for centuries and should be respected.

The onus is on the stranger to be civil at least and not try to collect the morsel from the homeowners mouth.

I am feeling very bad now. I knew things were bad but not this bad.


THE POLICE DONT KNOW THEMSELVES. They dont know who's a cop and who's not.

That is the worst thing I have read today.

read to find evidence that your so-called Ghadaffi was ALSO a CIA collaborator. So your so-called anti-imperialist champion was NOT. he was just a bold-faced dictator like the rest of them.

still on prohibited list.

I dont believe corruption should be kept secret, but I am against such a flood of comments. People simply gist away national secrets(corrupt secrets not included).

As far as "brightest" goes, I dunno.
