Crystolexy:
The country can have a bilateral trade agreement between the seceding state. The Biafra can be a client state of Nigeria the way Costa Rica is to USA and Hong Kong to China or Gilbertar to Britain. An arrangement if this kind can be put in place . Agreement will be in visa systems, work and business permits and others. When such agreement are made, there is no need to fret over the issue of Biafra. Because, t just simply means a change of name but not a change of brotherhood or friendship.

They will never agree brother.. the Nigeria merchants can never agree to this truth.. it is when they have caused all of us to loose the brotherhood and friendship in the struggle and finally become two sworn enemies on the opposite side in the eventual birth of my Biafra..

We don't need any bilateral agreement with you people. There are several other countries, that Nigeria can trade with. Make una do quick, commot! We do not need to make your proposed republic, any client state. In one breath, you people say you want to leave. In another breath, you still want to be tied to the apron strings of Nigeria, by using her passports, getting work and business permits. Whosai?! It will not happen....

Rizstar:
Last time I checked, those ports are exclusively for dangote cement importation.

That is not true. Someone has even confirmed that he received his goods from there recently. Since you are not an importer, how would you know?

erico2k2:
Even the One @ Sapele, well everything must be in Lagos, but guess what, the Sea port in PH is very functional, I received my last container from there Jan this year from china.SO its all good.slow but steady.

PrecisionFx:
There's nothing wrong in dropping deve fees, what's wrong is giving 500 million naira to one man to execute projects, the government does such intentionally just to make sure that rejoin remain in perpetual darkness.
FG should simply sort the youth n leaders n then build those developments by themselves. forget about that ur pipeline bombing stories abeg.

Are you sure you are not one of those Niger-Delta militants? Govt should sort...... what? This is one reason why companies prefer to site their projects, outside the SS. The youths and chiefs in those areas, make developmental projects difficult to execute with their self-centred, impracticable, greedy demands! All those collecting the money in the SS, how have their lives improved or how have their communities been developed? Tell us!

obailala:
Kindly shut up with your silly parasitic talk. Stop using every topic as an avenue to come wail ignorantly. I may not be from the Niger delta, but I was born and raised in the Niger Delta; and I'm sure by virtue of my orientation, I am in a very good position to understand what happens in the area.

Na true word you talk. I have even met people from the Niger-Delta who are tired of the rent-seeking mentality of their own people.

kingreign:
Rusts can be prevented by use of ship or marine paints or even antitrust compounds such as rubberized paints and thin layer of tar.

Heat can be prevented by use of plywood installed in vacuum or even having felts and polystyrene.

I love this concept but folks in this part of the globe won't love such.

Container homes and offices are quite common in Nigeria. Oil companies in the Niger-Delta use it to provide accommodation for their workers in Sapele, Warri and a few areas in Port-harcourt. If you get to NTA Lagos inside their Victoria Island premises, you would find portacabin offices made from containers. They have been there for over a decade. There is also a posh event hall called Harbour Point on Wilmot Point Road, in Victoria Island, that was built using just containers. It seats over 800 people. The owners rent it out for almost =N=₦2.8 million per day.

bigfather:
but its new in Naija

It is not. A lot of oil servicing companies and major oil firms use it to provide accommodation to their workers. Construction companies use it on site, as offices. Ever heard of the word 'portacabin,' in Nigeria? many of them are made from containers.

Mambox:
I should have added that it's used by civilians, youth corps members and security details. It's a normal community is I'll say. Stores are there too.

Exactly. You are so right! In fact, a few banks now use 20ft containers for their ATM enclosures. I have even seen a fast food restaurant being built with a container. The fast food chain wanted to expand their no. of outlets, and could not afford to buy several plots of land, in different districts. So they worked out a plan, by building the fast food outlets using containers, to a template designed by their architect, and then transporting these container outlets to various sites, they had leased in the forecourt of different petrol stations. It worked.

InvertedHammer:
If a 419er scams an oyibo, does it make all Nigerians fraudsters?

Should the action of a few be blamed on all?

This is why generalization and stereotypes are bad.

I agree, but the IPOB crew must be cautioned. Those bad eggs among them, are giving them a bad name.

Doublecheck:
shut up, that guy schooled you and you are still embarrassing yourself. Shameless Afonja. I think his word chameleon best describes you, so stick to hiding behind memes cause it is clear you have exhausted your senses on gambling. Tout, roadside butcher your are one Afonja that have been so embarrassed and humiliated on Nairaland it just so embarrassing that you have no shame else you would be laying in a lab for autopsy to determine if your died of ratak or a mixture of cement with water. Silly Afonja, chameleon

Thank you for exposing your ignorance on this thread, again. You have never written anything sensible in your life. The only thing you are good at, is recycling lies and falsehood. Everyone knows that on NL. It is a pity that the money spent on your education was wasted, because you still think that out of the over 250 other ethnic groups that exist in Nigeria, only the Yorubas are the ones that disagree with your perspective.

I have told you before that the 'jazz those Yorubas cooked for you, must be a potent one. That is why you keep shouting 'Afonja, even in your dreams. May they continue to haunt you, as you totally embarrass and humiliate yourself even further. Onye nzuzu. Anuofia!

You just admitted that you are a chameleon, tout, roadside butcher and you have no shame. It is very true. Now that you have notified us about how you are so pained, that you want to commit suicide by "laying in a lab for autopsy, and dying of ratak or a mixture of cement with water," I pray you do so quickly. Take that mixture and kill yourself. You will definitely not be missed.

shervydman:
someone said ijebu is not Yoruba or i'm I in a trance?

Ah, na so me sef I see am, o! I just open my mouth in shock when the person dey yarn that tales by moonlight!

How many people go to Akure by air?

Johnandv:
Going back to the first comment you made, calling what I said about ijebus clownish yet you refer the same comment to Yorubas for answers shows a lot what you are, ignorant and foolish. I choose my words to you carefully and it's for your own good not to spite you. You are not making good use of your brain if at all after reading all I've said to you and my candid advice you still derail then you are beyond help to be frank and I am done talking to children who boast in emptiness, they are the worst piece of work. I give up!

Thank you for telling us that you are simply 'ignorant and foolish.' You have just described yourself very well! And you have also confessed that you are not 'making use of your brain,' which is why decided to 'boast in emptiness'. i had already suspected that was your problem, and now that you have confessed it, it is easy to know where to place you. I have advised you before, go back to school. Your words are not making sense. And your childishness is increasing by the minute. But you know what? Never mind.

jeff1993:
Unless u move all ministries down to the East, Open up all d ports down East and make it functional to international cargo ships and tar our roads ....... Then we would have a rethink!!!!

Port-Harcourt seaports and Onne ports are functional. Go and use it!! May God punish anybody who asks you to have a rethink.

Johnandv:
Well i think this is the last time I'm going to take you serious on this matter from now cos I gave you time to redeem yourself and you made a mess of it. First you were calling me names when i said what i said without any tangible effort to debunk it with substantial proof. This is a public forum yes but you are only allowed to read what others write, ask question and learn if the topic is not related to you or you dont have a clue of what is being said, that's the way reasonable people behave knowing it would be very silly and a mess for you to start making a move of the knowlegible yet you are most ignorant, that would be a show of shame. I would advice you to always think before you talk or engage someone in a debate cos from what i've seen you are still a kid and very much empty..

Didn't I say it before that you were raised on a diet of insults? Anyone can see here that you are a kid, that has been poorly trained. And that is why you keep reaching into the gutter to use words like, "silly, mess etc." It just shows how empty you are. Let me remind you that you were the first person to use the words empty barrel, on this thread. Is that not an insult? I have said it before, you are ignorant. You are the one that has no clue. And it sticks out a mile, from your choice of language and the way you express yourself. Go back to school.

InvertedHammer:
Shouldn't common sense tell him to stay away from a vendor selling his wares in Biafran currency? But no. He just had to chip in a witty comment. He is probably one of those gragra folks on nairaland. When faced with reality, he chickened out. Everyone is an anonymous hero online. About 99.9999% of the folks on nairaland berating IPOB will shit in their pants and even add Igbo proverbs while proving allegiance to Biafra when confronted by IPOB in this scenario.

LOL.
\

And why can your IPOB touts allow people to live, and let live? No, they must force people to do their bidding. Tomorrow, let one anuofia come and tell me that IPOB is not an intolerant, violent organisation, and see whether I will not give him a piece of my mind!

Nwodosis:
Look for a better way of campaigning for your One Nigerian and not by smearing the image of IPOB my dear. There is a standby police station at mile one park there, why didn't you report the incidence there as a patriotic Nigerian? Well I don't blame you, it is the fulfilment of Nnamdi Kanu prophecy that a time will come in Nigeria and all that will be discussed in individual houses, streets, media house etc will be BIAFRA!

You are talking about police station. How would he have gotten there, when he was surrounded on all sides by brainwashed IPOB touts, threatening to beat him up??!

Johnandv:
Then what do you mean by admit your ignorance and move on? how am I even sure you are normal or you enjoy showing off your age bracket when opportunity calls by displaying your kindergarten jokes, i guess that's what gets you h0rny. If you are not Yoruba why then did you interfere you should have allowed them to answer me and not you cos in this situation you are an empty barrel indeed, no hard feelings just the obvious

This is a public forum, and anyone can respond to any post he likes, or express his thoughts on any particular issue, within the limits of politeness and decorum. The problem with you and your ilk on this board, is that your brains have been configured to a default setting, to think that anyone who disagrees with you, or does not share your perspective is Yoruba.

And each time you and your folks slip into this default mode, they end up looking stuvpid. There are over 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria. So free your mind. And also know that there are so many different people on NL, that may have a better understanding of a subject than you do! So grow up! And everyone can see you are the empty barrel on this thread, because you keep engaging your mouth or spewing out words, without thinking!

PETALS 102.3 FM : Afenifere chieftain, Yinka Odumakin, inaugurated Petals 102.3FM in Ibadan, Oyo State, in 2015. For most of his life, he has been known as a political activist. So setting up a radio station, was not something anyone would have associated with him. However, he has given a pledge that his radio station will be objective and fair, to all Nigerians, irrespective of political affiliation.

With Petals 102.3 FM now on board, the number of radio stations in Oyo State is now 15.

So what is the point of this boring & long epistle? Please let Biafra go its way. Anybody who tries to stop the Biafrans from leaving will fail, by force, by fire. Make una pack una load. October 1 is round the corner. No need for too much talk, abeg! As my good friend Graphitti would say, "Make everybody hold im mama brezz!"

Johnandv:
You can spew your kindergarten jokes for all I care.. Ijebu is not Yoruba and that they did not tell you so does not take away its truism, I thought you went to call your village heads to give me befitting answer Yoruba coward, let people who are well read engage me and tell me I'm lying let me expose them not empty barrel like you.

Why should I call anybody for you, when it is obvious that you are not making any sense? Shuo! just admit your ignorance and move on! Anyway, I know you were programmed not to think straight, that is why you are calling yourself a 'Yoruba coward.' That description suits you very well. Ozuor!

ahaz:
The issue am stressing is the machervellian political policy pepertrated by the north against the ss and se region.The seaports in lagos for example, tue apapa wharf wad built by the british,the tin can port by the federal government and non by lagos state.Some years back there was a complian by seafarers that the eastern ports needs urgent dredging to accomofate heavy catgoes but the fg declined.
Today ask an importer why he chooses to import goods from lagos instead of eastern ports he will tell you that most shipping companies prefare lagos stting excuses which are mostly political and tuats why an importer in onitsha and aba will go to lagos while he has a nearby port less than 300km from his locstion.
So as long as this coumtry is mot restructured we will continue to hlame fraud government(federal govrrnment).Whenever we have true fedralism were everyone will have. a level playing gound i will see how many people will remain in lagos talklesd of shiftingbto ogun..

Oga, importers have been using Port-Harcourt seaport and Onne port to import their cargo. Wey you dey since? Why can't you and your people use those ports?

erico2k2:
Even the One @ Sapele, well everything must be in Lagos, but guess what, the Sea port in PH is very functional,I received my last container from there Jan this year from china.SO its all good.slow but steady.

Erico2k, abeg help me preach this gospel to your people on NL. Tell them that Port-Harcourt sea port is working, o! They should stop their propaganda.

Expected from a typical Yoruba chameleon. Again ijebus are not Yoruba go and ask your father your history if he know he will tell you OK. Its not only ijebus there is another set of people in the west too that are not Yoruba, even oduduwa is not a father of all the western states but he is called father of yorubaland. You may deny it as usual it's what you do best but historians know what I'm saying. You may deceive some people some of the time but you cannot deceive the people all the time. Once again call upon your Yoruba people who know better cos its obvious you are empty let them prove it wrong. Till then I'm waiting..

Oh, thanks for telling us that you are a Yoruba chameleon. If you hadn't let everyone know your true colours, maybe I would have taken you seriously. It is obvious you were raised on a diet of insults. Like I said, the Yoruba people would be in a better position to give you a befitting reply. I come from a different part of Nigeria, even though I have lived and worked in several parts of the Southwestern region, and I have never heard an Ijebu man say that he is not Yoruba. Obviously, it is something you fabricated from the inner recesses of your mind...

You are obviously used to deception, which is why you think everyone is like you. Ask your father to teach you how to be truthful.

Abeg show me what THESE yoruba investments that you posted are cos I can't see them or are you talking of drawings on T-shirt like someone pointed out. You people are too quick to say agbor is not Igbo but is ijebu Yoruba? Abeg shift we know what is going on in the west, not all of you are Yoruba's, its not just pronounced cos your land have no oil if not if would have been the demarcating factor long ago. We know!

Ijebu is not Yoruba? Since when? Who was the clown that said that? And the oil discovered in Aje-1 oil field off the coast of Lagos by Yinka Folawiyo Petroleum Group is what? Anyway, let me leave the Yoruba people to give you a befitting answer!

well yinka Ayefele has Fm radio station in ibadan and a big three star hotel in Ekiti state.

Ok, thanks for the info.

A few years back, the federal govt decided to encourage the growth of community radio stations, in a bid to bring information and entertainment closer to the people. This led to the multiplication of Frequency Modulation (FM) radio stations, across the length and breadth of the country. In the South-West, there has been an increase in the number of existing stations.

LAGELU 96.7 FM and SPLASH 105.5 FM: Both stations are based in Ibadan, and jointly owned by Chief Adebayo Muritala Akande, the Maye of Ibadan, who is the Chairman of West Midlands Communications Limited, incorporated in 1990.

[img]https://whatsupibadan.files./2015/10/chief-akande-ibadan.jpg[/img]

Splash 105.5 FM Ibadan was rebranded the "Integrity Station," or "Radio Omoluabi" in Yoruba, on 25 August 2008 by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission. Lagelu 96.3 FM is touted as the first indigenous private radio station in Ibadan, Oyo State. It broadcasts its' programmes in Pidgin and Yoruba language.

Isn't Yinka Akinfele a musician? It has been agreed that we would not profile entertainers, o! A separate thread will be created for them.

Engr. Ponnle of MicCom Cables has already been featured on this thread. Pls check page 52.

Chief Emmanuel Olatunji Adesoye, OON the Asiwaju of Offa, is the Chairman of Adesoye Group Holdings. It is a conglomerate of various companies, engaged in businesses ranging from oil and gas, to travel, consultancy, steelworks, education, plastics, furniture, engineering construction and insurance.

https://adesoyecollege.org/images/prp2.jpg

His most popular subsidiary is Okin Biscuits, located in Ijagbo area of Offa, in Kwara State. Okin Biscuits unlike Tate and Lyle, Nigerian Sugar Company and other companies that went into early extinction, thrived and surprisingly survived the unfriendly economic policies, during the long period of military rule in the country. Today, the company is being offered for sale at a total cost of $20 million USD. It stopped production in 2007.

Chief Adesoye also set up the Adesoye College in Offa, Kwara State - a co-educational, private, boarding school with high standards of education, in 1987. Adesoye College has earned a reputation, as one of the most prestigious schools in Nigeria. Parents who have had their children trained at the college include former presidents, serving governors, ministers and others in similar positions of authority.

But another of his subsidiaries called Supasteel is doing quite well in the engineering sector. Supasteel Limited is a wholly indigenous engineering, procurement and construction company, specializing in steel fabrication, mechanical and piping installations, as well as the repair and maintenance of static and rotary equipment, for process plants.

https://supasteel.com.ng/images/abt.png

Their technical partners include Messrs BIS Dinafit SRL of Romania, Monticor Industries SA, and MB Engineering Services of Scotland. One of the outcomes of this successful partnership, resulted in the restoration of the damaged reactor, re-generator, orifice chamber and flue gas re-boiler of the Fluid Catalytic Cracker (FCC) unit, of the Port Harcourt Refinery which was damaged in an explosion at line up for service, a few years back.

Ayo Animashaun of Hip TV has been profiled on page 205 of this thread.

In 1994, Adewale Tinubu decided to venture into the oil and gas business, leading to his co-founding of Ocean and Oil Limited with Omamofe Boyo and Onajite Okoloko. The trio bought their first vessel, MT Carolina, in the mid-90s, to supply diesel to off-shore companies from the Port-Harcourt Refinery, and within the space of seven years, the fleet had grown to seven ships.

In 2000, when the government wanted to sell its controlling stake in the defunct Unipetrol Plc, a downstream oil marketing company, they bidded for it, and won. In December 2001, they made a purchase of Italian Agip Petrol’s 60 percent stake in Agip Nigeria Plc, for $74 million. Wale and his team later branded the company Oando Plc.

Tinubu's significant contribution made Oando, the first African company to be enlisted on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, with a market capitalization of more than 3 billion South African ran,d in 2005. That same year, Oando Energy Services was incorporated.

Through his leadership, Gaslink, a subsidiary of Oando Plc, successfully phased and executed the construction of about 100km of natural gas pipeline distribution network from the Nigerian Gas Company city gate in Ikeja, to cover the Greater Lagos Area including Ikeja, Apapa, and their environs.

Gaslink currently delivers over 60 million standard cubic feet per day of gas, to over 150 customers on the Greater Lagos gas distribution network grid, with the capacity to deliver up to 101 million standard cubic feet per day.
_{http://www.marketingedge.com.ng/2016/11/20/wale-tinubu-when-vision-inspires/}

Oando is now the number one distributor of petroleum products across Nigeria, and the second largest downstream fuels company in the country. Through its subsidiary Oando Gas and Power, the group built the first 12.5MW IPP Power plant for Lagos State Government, in 2010. By 2011, Tinubu concluded a $3billion USD gas facility contract, with the Federal Government.

In 2013, he led the listing of the company’s upstream subsidiary, Oando Energy Resources on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX).

erico2k2:
you are wrong, they do, as a matter of fact there are well laid down policies for companies to meet certain required development within thier host communities, in Europe and the US, the difference is they are well managed with little or no corruption.i will give you some reference to Tesco in the Uk in a moment.
for starters if you got the time you can read this
http://www.bath.ac.uk/management/cri/pubpdf/Research_Reports/16_Bichta.pdf

Nobody is saying that oil firms should not do CSR. but provision of infrastructure such as roads, is a government affair!

erico2k2:
ofcos its very functional Air France,Lufthansa, KLM, land there daily fully loaded.
I travel from the Uk via Lufthansa each time

Are you serious? Straight from PHC International Airport?

ogahug:
What you have there is more like a world class airport runway when compared to the ones I have seen. I am into oil/gas and I have seen worse roads. Our govt needs to put some polices in place to compel this oil majors to start embarking on meaningful physical projects in host communities instead of just paying millions to certain CLO who might be living in Abuja or PH but does not go home. Such official criminals only use a fraction of the money to buy guns and give to some youths to stand by him.

Instead of you to ask your state govts to account for the 13% derivation fund which they have pocketed, you want to compel oil firms that pay all manner of taxes to federal govt to now start building roads, in the communities. If oil majors start building roads, then what is the work of govt? For your info., oil majors do not build roads in communities where they operate, in different parts of the world. It is only in Nigeria, that people demand for such things, from oil majors, instead of holding their leaders accountable.
