You are actually correct, those from Escravos migrated from ilaje, politics aside you can't really differentiate ilaje from itsekiri , but I haven't seen itsekiri dress in Yoruba attires (I may be wrong). The Fregene's I know are not from that axis, they are from Warri south.

Lagos is being run by a cabal....same reason the tankers & trucks still occupy d highways after directive from d governor

Efewestern:
The Fregene's, I have some many friends from that family, a very big family in itsekiri.

Why are they dressing like Yoruba, is kemi Akndolu Yoruba or itsekiri?

Whenever election is nearby, Ibo's will go to any length to whip up sentiments, telling bold faced lies and concocting lies and trash to win support.
I was shocked to see a sunnewspaper with pictures of dead IPOBS member on my way from the gym, and there was serious argument at the vendor stand regarding Buharis dark hatred for Ibo's and how he's systematically whipping them out. Not until I came here and confirmed that the pictures of the supposed killed IPobs is from Mamfe Cameroon. This struck me as crass and extremely low for Sun newspaper and this is so common among the Ibo's. They did this against Fashola during the last Anambra election. Now they are pulling another rubbish but this time, they blackmailing the president and military. What kind of people are these folks. So much lies and lies from this people and you wonder why they are this pathetic.

Uber is one business that is worth investing in if you’d like to earn ₦140,000 monthly on a ₦2,000,000 investment. The 2 most important factors to succeed in the business are getting a practical car that is in good working condition.. as well as getting a good and trustworthy driver.

Uber accepts 2005 and above four door cars. However, buying a 2007, 2008 or 2009 model is better so the car can repay itself on time whilst having a life span of 3 to 4 years on the Uber platform before they yank if off.

When choosing the most practical car to use, you have to consider the following factors: Purchase cost, fuel economy, good air conditioner, reliability, maintenance cost, life span, resale value etc..

Despite how lucrative the business is, I noticed several cars have been pulling out of the Uber business due to accidents, reliability issues, fuel consumption especially vehicles with 6 cylinder engines etc.

In order to prevent same mistakes, you may want to stick to the following cars..

Best Cars For Uber Business

Toyota Corolla

https://i66.tinypic.com/2k2b2o.jpg

This is actually the most preferred.. no wonder most companies use them as official cars. The 1.8 litre 4 cylinder engine gives an average of 30 miles per gallon (mpg). The air conditioner is excellent, sound system is good enough and the car makes your passengers arrive like a boss.

With the Corolla, you’ll get good reliability, reasonable space and excellent resale value.

Estimated Price: Tokunbo – N2.8m.. Nigerian used – N1.8m (2009 model)

Toyota Yaris (Sedan)

https://i64.tinypic.com/15f3voz.jpg

This car is small but mighty and arguably the best in the Uber line-up. Its 1.5 litre 4 cylinder engine gives you an amazing average fuel consumption of 32 mpg.. That’s about half the consumption of several 6 cylinder engines. Although, acceleration suffers but still good enough for city trips. It is also reliable and maintenance cost is moderate which all add up to increase your earning potentials.

Don’t be deceived by the small exterior.. it is pretty spacious inside. Thanks to the small engine and short bonnet. The small bonnet and the low belt-line makes you feel like you are sitting up high.

Estimated Price: Tokunbo – N2.5m.. Nigerian used – N1.5m (2008 model)

Honda City

https://i66.tinypic.com/fzan9w.jpg

The Honda City is less popular but it goes head-to-head with the Yaris in terms of performance. It is reliable and the 1.5 litre 4 cylinder engine promises average fuel consumption of 32 mpg. There is also a 1.3 litre option if you want to settle for that. The 5th generation Honda City which was produced between 2008 and 2013 is more than enough to get the job done.

The Tokunbo is pretty scarce so you’ll probably settle for a Nigerian used..

Estimated Price: Tokunbo – N2.65m.. Nigerian used – N1.35m (2009 model)

Toyota Avensis

https://i64.tinypic.com/2s954rk.jpg

Avensis has various engine options: 1.8, 2.0 and camry’s 2.4 litre engine. But I bet you’re sticking with the 1.8 litre engine because transport business is more about the MPGs. You should be getting an average gas mileage of 27 mpg on your 1.8 litre Avensis which is good enough.

It is undoubtedly strong and reliable.. It is also slightly bigger than the Corolla with more premium feel.


Estimated Price: Tokunbo – N3.1m.. Nigerian used – N1.8m (2008 model)

Yes, Camry didn’t make the list because the 2.4 litre engine will shortchange you on fuel.. You may also want to stay away from the Honda Civic due to window and AC and a few suspension issues.. For Hyundai and Kia, cost of maintenance parts is your number 1 justification for staying away.

I wish you success in your existing or prospective transport business.

Don’t forget to rate, like, and share.

Belluchii:
The spokesperson of the development agency of the British High Commission in Nigeria, David Smith, in a response to PREMIUM TIMES’ inquiry said the jobs would be created through UK government’s LINKS programme, an initiative to “power economic growth in northern Nigeria.’

The economy of northern Nigeria, particularly the north east region, is currently facing serious development pressures consequent upon ravaging insurgent activities by religious extremists, Boko Haram.

Apart from the devastation of physical infrastructure and economy in the region, millions of citizens, including women and children, have been forced to join the growing population of internally displaced persons as a result of herdsmen and farmers conflict.

Prior to her visit to Nigeria last week, UK Prime Minister, Theresa May, identified Nigeria as home to the largest concentration of the world’s poorest people, with the bulk of the population in the north region.

During the visit, the UK Minister of State for Africa, Harriett Baldwin, who led a business delegation to the business event as part of the visit, announced a new £70-million programme to create 100,000 jobs in Nigeria.

Ms Baldwin said the programme would raise the income of three million people from the poorest parts of Nigeria.

But, giving details on the programme, Mr Smith said the LINKS initiative is a seven year programme to commence in early 2019, aimed at supporting job creation and income generation for the poor, women and those living with disability in the three northern states of Kaduna, Kano and Jigawa.

He said implementation of the programme would be through a contracted service provider, which the UK government is currently out in the market to recruit, with the process already in the evaluation stage for the first bids.

The service provider, Mr Smith said, would propose and implement the details of the programme, apart from working with a range of partners, including Centres for Disease Control (CDC) and the UK Department for International Trade.



“The provider will also liaise with Nigerian agencies such as the Nigerian Investment Promotion Council (NIPC) and key international development agencies like the World Bank.

“In a practical sense, LINKS will work by using a range of approaches such as technical assistance to public and private sectors, targeted grant funding and fostering linkages between investors, financiers and firms.

“The programme will focus on three northern Nigerian states of Kaduna, Kano and Jigawa, with expectation that it has wider benefits which could spread to other northern states,” Mr Smith said.

On the types of jobs to be created under LINKS, he said these would be as varied and diverse as the people of Nigeria.

Apart from affordable housing, information and communication technology and even waste management jobs in urban, rural jobs would cover agricultural supply chain and processing jobs.

In terms of categorization, the spokesperson said 40 per cent of the 100,000 jobs would be reserved for women, while six per cent would go to people living with disabilities.

Besides, at least 20 per cent of the jobs would be created in small replicable business models, like franchises the middle class, diaspora and modestly wealthy can also invest in.

“So, it’s not just about big business or global leaders. It’s about real Nigerians,” he said.

Asked whether the initiative was part of a larger attempt by the UK government to help resolve the poverty situation the UK PM referred to in her controversial reference to Nigeria as home to the largest concentration of the world’s poorest people, Mr Smith said: “Yes, absolutely.”

He explained Ms May’s government believes the majority of the income improvements for the poor through LINKS would come from “identifying innovative technologies or business models that will improve competitiveness and productivity across multiple fields, in a way that ensures the poor share the benefits.”



Apart from testing these and other successful programmes, Mr Smith said they would help the entrepreneur or business who has developed the innovation to take it to the next level through attracting private investment.

Also, these innovations should expand and improve the lives of millions more as they spread across the northern part of the country and beyond.

“The LINKS innovation and investment programme announced by the Prime Minister is a huge step the UK Department for International Development is immensely proud of,” Mr Smith said of the initiative.

“Helping to raise the income of three million people and create 100,000 vital jobs will transform Nigeria for the better.

“For the people of Nigeria, LINKS means more, bigger and innovative firms creating jobs and raising incomes, both directly and through their supply chains, while generating higher revenues for taxation. Together, we can create a Nigeria fit for the future.”

Since the millionaire blogger announced her engagement, a lot of people have been trying to figure out and find out who Linda Ikeji’s baby daddy, fiance or husband is. It was even speculated that the blogger had an IVF for the baby.Well, according to a user on the popular Nigerian forum Nairaland, Linda Ikeji’s baby daddy is Sholaye Jeremi, a close associate to Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu.

According to the anonymous user identified by the moniker Nobody, Jeremi resides in Ikoyi, where Linda has her mansion. Pictures of Jeremi found on the internet shows he’s close pals with billionaire Femi Otedola.

The user wrote;

“Linda Ikeji is pregnant for Sholaye Jeremi, a close associate to Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu. He is from Sapele, Delta state. 100% confirmed. The funny thing is there was no engagement as Shola will not settle down although he is 40 plus.

Jeremi also stays in Ikoyi. Very credible, although Linda is trying to manage the situation but this information is 100 percent credible. You can do your findings as well, but thats the guy.”
Before this news broke, some people have even speculated that she was pregnant for popular media publicist Big Sam. And controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, also alleged, Linda may not be really pregnant for anyone and what she is parading is simply a moonbump.

This is not a video game of Airplane Vs Motorcycles. It's a real life footage from the Sokoto Airport which was taken by a pilot. The plane was taxiing when the pilots spotted motorcycle riders using the runway with them. It is alleged that they stormed the airport to welcome one of their political leaders. 

The bikers seem to have been excited as one of them can even be spotted waving at the airplane. 

Sam Adurogboye who is the General Manager of Public Affairs at The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) confirmed that the agency is currently investigating the matter.

I'm writing this from my own personal experience. Dear girls, don't just fall 'head over heels' for a guy without knowing the nature of his job or any of his close relatives.

There's this guy who's been inviting me over for quite sometime, we met at an event and exchanged contacts. I did that because he assisted me with something at that event. He calls me for about an hour or two every night. That was early this year.

When I asked about his nature of job, he said he was a contractor, he couldn't tell me which firm he works with. He stays at home 24/7 from Monday through Friday, weekends inclusive.

I finally agreed to go out with him sometime in February. This guy owns a Bentley and a Range Rover. Each time I try to bring up the issue of his job, he waives it off. The way he spent money on me and my friend that day was lavish and suspicious. I wasn't comfortable at all. He paid for my Uber ride to and fro. Spent about 80K at the exquisite restaurant just for food and drinks. We were three;Him, my friend And I. He uses two iPhones, one infinix hot4 and a smaller phone. I felt so much discomfort with him that day. Thank God my spirit never accepted him. that evening, he had a minor issue with his friend. I was listening to their conversation and I found out my guess was right. I had to cut up all ties with him after that day. abeg I can't be spending money whose source I know nothing about.

The second was a guy I loved, I won't lie. I met him at the mall and there was this kind of attraction. We flowed freely, got talking and all that. I won't say everything I witnessed at his place for personal reasons. I asked what he's been doing since he graduated, he said business. What kind of business? He replied; 'online business'

The day I visited him, his friends came over and for more than one hr, they were glued to their laptops, doing 'heaven knows what' and making calls to dupe victims. I also saw about 7 master keys for cars. I had no access to his FB account then. only whatsapp and IG.

When I checked his pictures on FB, I was trembling with all the things I saw. he's in a gang, probably a cult. Always wearing shirts with that devilish logo of a skull printed in it. Wearing all Black and all that.

And girls, please don't open your legs for any guy you've just met until you're very sure he's clean. I really loved this last one but although its hard to let go, I just have to.
I'm not saying I'm a virgin, but I just don't open my legs for any one because he throws money at my face whatsoever. I'm being very plain here so girls can learn.

Let this get to front page please mods.

Coming to Nigeria. The newly redesigned app from Uber.


Last week, Uber announced the complete redesign of its new driver app.
About 2 years now, complaints have crept up from drivers about the old Uber apps, and Uber has listened.

It appears that this is a result of Uber’s new campaign of treating drivers better. This campaign was called 180 days of change. During 180 days of change, Uber rolled out driver friendly features on the app, features such as in-app messaging, introduction of airport queues among many other upgrades.

In true post-Kalanick form(Travis Kalanick is the founder and former CEO of Uber), the company has embarked on a driver-centric approach to its policy making.

Make no mistake, the customer is still king and is still at the heart of Uber’s network, but now, Uber is determined to treat its drivers as a close partner, because it understands that drivers are the arteries of the network.

new uber driver app

Instead of taking the traditional Travis Kalanick approach, Uber did the logical thing, the company teamed up with drivers to redesign the new app. It carried out extensive conversation and interviews and came out with a magnificent and simple app. The most obvious feature is that it shows the most important information without cluttering up the screen like the old app.

The new app is beautiful. At the top of the screen lies a real-time earnings tracker, to let drivers know how much they made on the last trip, it also makes it easier to
• track progress,
• quests, incentives, and goals,

The old app was a bit cumbersome and sometimes, you had to scroll down to see your current earnings.
Also, the surge map has been redesigned. There were colored hexagons to show you the surge, now, you can see an integrated module which shows the street names of where the surge is located, so drivers can know how to place themselves relative to the surge.
new uber driver app 2
Notifications are better too. According to Uber, “the Notifications feature lets drivers see messages about upcoming earning opportunities, feedback from their riders, and information about their account”. Notifications now function sort of like an inbox, where you can see cached messages.

Another really important thing is the new app functions better on old android phones and in areas with poor reception. This is very good news for drivers.
There is also a new status bar that shows drivers where to go to get better boost or incentive earnings.

The new app will take a few months to roll out to rideshare drivers in Abuja and Lagos. So the jury is still out on whether this new driver app will be a hit or a bust. Whichever it is, I’m still itching to get my hands on it and try it out.

Thanks for reading this, new articles coming soon.
Please feel free to comment.

I’m the Taxi App Guy, I write more at taxiappguy.

Nice vibes but I find it surprising when Wizkid didn't feature in person in the video but voicing only. These young men are just too unpredictable with the way they go about being featured on musical videos. Wizkid performance in the video would have added more value to video.
