It's different oga. Oba Yoruba in Kano is different from Oba of Kano. There is Seriki or Sarkin of Fulani in almost South west towns and Cities and there is Eze Ndigbo in Lagos, Ibadan, Akure, Ilorin and Osogbo and maybe there is Oba of Yoruba in Anambra. But You can't go to Anambra and say you want to become Oba of Anambra same way you can't come to Lagos and say you want to become Eze or Obi of Lagos, it's not possible..

Na you wan dey claim wetin no belong to you, and nobody dey try drag what's yours with you. So who cun be the hypocrite here oga?

6-3-3-4 system did not start in 1982. If I am not wrong, it started during Babs Fafunwa era as a minister.Abolition of history in schools was from IBB regime

I just watched this same invention on YouTube. It's been around for the last 5yrs. I'm guessing that's where he also got it from. It's a "Do It Yourself" project for low skilled copycats.

And people were saying government should invest into it? Mtchew.

And everyone here assumed he could come up with the idea and execution without an engineering background? Una too dey play in this country. Walahi.

Reports claim that the Alaafin of Oyo was told to vacate his seat to make room for Chief Gabriel Igbinedion and his wife.

The incident has sparked discussions about respect, tradition, and protocol at public events.

My family borrowed $2500 from a businessman to use and send me to the USA, back when naira was ₦4 to $1...and I worked as a fast food cook and paid it back in less than one year. From there I built a house for them AND bought them a car all within 7 years. I put my siblings through secondary and university in Nigeria and eventually brought them all to the USA, including my parents. One of those siblings on Aug 1 bought me a brand new Tesla for cash.

My family is average compared to most of our immigrant cohort in the USA. On Saturday I was at a party thrown by a Nigerian banker and TWO people came in Bentleys. One of them is a CEO of a small company here whose salary was published in the local newspaper back in 2007...$1.2 million per year, back then. I've already shown evidence another Nigerian CEO currently earning over $1.6 million per year. The highest paid CEO of a public company in Nigeria in 2022 was the ASIAN guy atop Dangote Cement, his salary is $600K per year.

At the same party was a dear friend who is a driver. His wife is a Nurse Aide. That is the only jobs they've ever done in this country. They bought their home in the early 1990s before me so it's likely paid off. All their children are university grads...sports administration, nurse, accountant and engineer. I was their baby sitter for years, I taught a couple of them to drive, they all had cars AS TEENAGERS, all of them have bought their own homes. I've seen their story from the very beginning to now. Wetin again? They would be better off in Nigeria as business people? I don't think so.

From the top to the bottom in every comparable role, a Nigerian is likely to do better in the US/UK than Nigeria. That's the EVIDENCE. Even your APC hero Muhammadu Buhari retired to London UK after leaving Aso Rock, most of President Tinubu's children live in the USA. Mr Keyamo a serving Federal Minister owns a house in this my same North Carolina in a small town called Statesville...he posted it on Facebook, no speculation, I've looked it up too....and he may well end up retiring here. Ask yourself why and if a regular Nigerian shouldn't take the chance to do the same if possible.

In short Oga just keep quiet. Nigeria is NOT a good place for most people to achieve a world standard middle class life. To get to that level in Nigeria a person must be EXTRAORDINARY in some way...talent, personality, beauty, drive or intellect. That's the truth, most average people like me have a better chance in the UK/USA. You guys need to stop.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

GoodSerpent:
Cassava is cheap in the market, coz most specie will rot in the soil if you didn't harvest them when due, hence purchasing power is low, so farmers sell at any price available.
That is what happened with my corn and cassava early this year

GoodSerpent:
Things that are causing food price (cassava and corn)reduction for this season harvest is not economic magic bro, it is due to low purchasing power, importation, insecurity, migration from farm settlement (when insecurity meet some people in there farm area, they will have to sell their farm products any amount they see). Mind you this few price reduction is to be detriment of local farmers, because cost of production of farm produce is getting high everytime, but purchasing power is not there to sell it in your desirable percent profit. I am a farmer and I really know what am telling you chief

where i am from is very close to ogbompka, illa and this people have yoruba ancestry but currently they speak igbos and see themselves as igbos and they will tell your there history they dont hide the fact that the igbos gave them the land. they dont at all and currently they are in support of the anioma state. infact my great grand mother is an olukumi woman. so any thing else?

Christistruth03:
The Olukumis got there in the 12th Century
Many of thir Ancestors followed Oranmiyan to Benin
The Igbos with help from Igalas crossed the Niger into the Benin Kingdom in the 15th Century under Oba Esigie's reign that is why they call Olukumis Odiani the people of the Land

Drug prosecution was not as serious as it is now. Many walked away with just a slap on the palm. Infact, it might seem a crime for any successful individual then not to be entangled with drugs. The very first time many people heard about cocaine in Nigeria was in 1985 when IBB overthrew Buhari in the Grace Okon saga. Many barons of Nigerian descents were already running their cartels in USA. The intricacy of the case is beyond street gossip and denials. Who dares to dig and investigate will be stonewalled for obvious reasons. It is difficult for some people to believe that whoever will be Nigerian Presidents have already been decided and it has little or nothing to do with Nigerians. Lest you forget, Nigeria doesn't belong to Nigerians.

On his left is his cousin, Sayyu Dantata (the chairman of MRS Holdings) and on his right is Devakumar Edwin (vice president of Dangote Industries). Also with them is Fatima Aliko Dangote (group executive director, commercial operations at Dangote Industries Limited).

Transcript

Aliko Dangote: Now we will support our government to make sure that we keep creating and generating jobs and we are generating jobs everyday.

That's why sometimes I laugh when, you know, em, em, what do you call them?

Sayyu Dantata: Which one?

Aliko Dangote: Something peng.

Sayyu Dantata: Oh, Nupeng.

Aliko Dangote: I don't even remember their name.

(Everybody laughs)

Aliko Dangote: So Nupeng said that there will be losses of jobs.

Gentlemen of the press, our company did not only buy 4,000 CNG trucks, we bought 10,000; 4,000 tankers, and 6,000 dry cargo.

Because some they carry our fuel, some they carry this. . .because what we are trying to do is that we are trying to modernise this thing.

But you can see how innovative we are, because who is going to lose? Actually, Dangote Refinery will lose because we'll lose a big customer. Dangote Cement used to import 40,000 tons every month of diesel. So now they will stop buying from us, they will now go and be using their gas (CNG).

And like what I keep saying, we are not going to meet the tag. So, as soon as people realise, because those trucks, when they came, the CNG, they didn't cause attention, because the ones that caused attention are the tanks. The tankers are those that actually caused the attention. But those trucks, they came now. We have already launched almost 4,000 and before end of the year the remaining 2,000 will arrive. Because even today we have a ship that brought about 200. Every day they will be arriving because they. . . by end of October all the 4,000 tankers will be here but by end of November we'll have total on the road, I think 10,250 total and today when you go and check our records and it is actually in our own financials of dangote cement.

Dangote cement, even now with the trucks that we have bought, we're only doing 60% of our own cargo. We're not trying to take anybody out of the market.

These trucks we launched, we didn't stop anybody from his work. You are saying that there will be loss of jobs, are our own tankers going to be driven by robots? There are no robotic trucks now. They have trucks that, yes and by the time you take a workshop manager, mechanical, electrical, okay, people who look after tires, people who look at logistics, movement of the trucks, dispatch, back office, every truck is about six people. So this 4,000 trucks they are fighting over it will create 24,000 jobs.

And let me give you also another good news, what we are saying is that our salary is almost three times or four times their own. I mean our own, you know after 5 years free accident nothing a driver can apply since we are driving hazardous you can apply and get a housing loan. Our drivers earn more than graduates. If you look at what they earn in a month, it's almost four times minimum wage! And you say that no don't create jobs.

If you look at it, that's why I said that. . .my people. . .when you got here, I'm sure my people took you around and showed you some of the trucks. And please go and ask anybody. I don't want to tell you but go and ask everybody. It's not every truck that you can load here, you know, with just a spark from the silencer, the whole place can catch fire. But see, some of them when they come, we have to manage because we actually don't have trucks.

And I can show you by the time we load Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, you will see the volume will crash because the trucks are not there.

They are talking about 30,000 tankers is not true. Nobody has 30,000! 30,000 where? How? What do they carry?

So to actually, you know, ask all these things and say no no no, you know what, let's make even life easy. Okay because the question of you joining a union, if you look at the act, I think was section 12 subsection 4 or so, it said that is voluntarily. You have to volunteer to join a unit. Even religion is voluntary now. I can't force you to be a Muslim if you are Christian, you cannot force me to change my religion. I will choose and if I think I'm doing the wrong thing, tomorrow I will decide, I'll move and change to another one. So it is not a question. Nobody will lose any job.

And if they have that issue, any of their driver (because the fight is over driver) any of their drivers who doesn't have a job and he wants to join these people to earn more money. He is welcome.

Nigeria’s trade compass points East for what we buy and West for what we sell. Imports are dominated by China and the U.S., while exports flow heavily to Spain, India, and France. This split reveals both opportunity and vulnerability - dependency on Asia for supply, but reliance on Europe for demand.

To be a Guinness Record Holder is not an easy feat (in any category), however, I'm not interested in it for myself.

Twerking isnt all that easy so he tried actually.
