Maintenance culture, Efe. The Onne port died a natural death. That of Warri is sure out of place but then again, it wouldn't take long to see it crippled should the FG work on it again.

And here's the gospel truth, the port in an economical viable state would receive more patronage than that which is not considered viable enough. So it is only normal that most would abandon Warri port for Lagos', save for those who intend to move to other states.

About Ogun State, believe me, you're very wrong. Ogun has more companies than what you would find at the Industrial layout in Lagos, and this is not because of Lagos. Ogun has limestone in abundance besides the regular manufacturing company.

Lagos is a metropolis, no matter how many working ports we have, people would still relocate to do business there since there are influx of people there.

Oyo's IGR beats most state's IGR around, including a couple of the South East and some core South states.

Everything is working well for Lagos because Ambode, built on the foundation Fashola made through the struggle of BAT, while Ibikunle Amosun enjoys as a sister state. Everything is special about Ogun state. Everything is.

Besides, we are yet to mention entertainment, one which Lagos controls like no other. Metropolis are never decongested no matter how hard you try.

Open up the seaports in Rivers, Delta, Cross River state and see if the VAT will not increase, the Lagos we see is because of the see ports and the airport, there's nothing special about Lagos, all the. Coastal states had same value both they neglected them and focused only on Lagos, but if the Govt should open up all the ports in the Niger Delta, you would experience a lot of growth.

Group To Sensitise Importers, Others On Eastern Ports | July 31, 2017 | The TIDE Newspapers |

The Maritime Energy Media Practitioners of Nigeria (MEMPON), has said that it would embark on sensitisation campaign to educate importers, agents and industrialists on the need to patronise the Eastern Ports.

National President of MEMPON, Dr Ralph John, who disclosed this in his address during a summit organised by the association in Port Harcourt recently, said such campaign would be carried in major business environments and markets.

Some of the places he earmarked for the sensitisation campaign are the popular Ariaria Market in Aba and Ochanja market in Onitsha, Anambra State and other avenues to woo importers to Eastern Ports. The MEMPON leader, however, called for synergy among operators and media practitioners in the maritime and energy sector so as to upgrade and develop businesses in the sectors.

The four ports that made up the Eastern Ports are Port Harcourt port complex, Onne port, the Warri port and Calabar ports. http://www.thetidenewsonline.com/2017/07/31/group-to-sensitise-importers-others-on-eastern-ports/

Mr, hating on Igbos, your fellow country men, will only give you madness. We are proud of coming from a devastating civil war,of being given 20 pounds to becoming the richest tribe per average in Nigeria.

Today, there is north east reconstruction commission. There was none for the old eastern region after more than 2million deaths.
Continue hating!

Gosh , i thank God i live outside Nigeria everyday coz of the ethnic hatred and "hollier than thou" attitudes one encounters .If its not you folks bragging and hating then its the Fulani clashing coz of invading what they see as their pasturelands.

Luxxor Gas develops a second CNG Mother Station

Having commenced the development of the largest private CNG Mother Station in Africa, a mighty 30,000 standard cubic metre per hour (scm/hr) designed production volume, in Ogijo, Ogun State, LuxxorGas has embarked on a new CNG Mother Station in Ota, Ogun State.

The development of the new CNG Mother Station with a production volume of 15,000scm/hr gives LuxxorGas a competitive advantage in the CNG industry, by potentially obtaining natural gas from two different gas suppliers; Shell Nigerian Gas and Nigerian Gas Company. This greatly increases the integrity of our gas distribution and gives our current and potential customers the peace of mind to confidently focus on their core competencies without having to worry about gas supply.

Having progressed through a rigorous three-round selection progress, from some good local competition LuxxorGas were selected as one of the two preferred partners to supply Compressed Natural Gas to the Lekki Free Zone Development Company (LFZDC), for its 12MW Power Station Project.

Lekki Free Trade Zone (LFTZ) will cover a total area of 16,500 hectares and is located in the Lekki Peninsula, about 60 km to the east of the city centre of Lagos.The Phase I Development of LFTZ, named as “China‐Nigeria Economic & Trade Cooperation Zone” (CNETCZ) covers approximately 1000 hectares (ha.), of which 780 ha. will be developed by the China‐Nigeria Joint Venture ‐ Lekki Free Zone Development Company (“LFZDC”). http://luxxorgas.com/news.php

Some comments here are just what some guys in third class and 2'2 need to console themselves. We cant rid ourselves of the fact that a lot of people in 2'2 can perform better than those in 2'1 but you guys shouldn't make it look like some of us in the 2'1 begged for it or stole our way through it. If ur self esteem is lowered cuz u don't have a 2'1 don't make those with it feel as if u are wishing them your situation. I am not against anyone. I am just trying to say in our comparisons, we should do that constructively abeg. Haba

apart from my degree, what value am I going to be adding to the company?

OMANBALA1:
Your transgressions are well documented. It didn't start here. You dont hate IPOB,that's just a weak attempt to cover your senseless hate towards the Igbo ethnic group. You are everywhere spreading hate,I see you in the the culture section,politics and everything that has ethnic undertone on it.

I thought you were just a hate monger but I will add LIAR to that...If you are gonna be online spewing bile do it courageously and own up to it. Nobody can make you do what you don't want to do. A lot of my brothers equally have the RETARDED mentality of a hate MONGER like you but most of them don't stick around....But ,you,my NIGGA is consistent with your act which reveals a more serious mentally defect.

How can somebody spend most of his time online fighting ethnic war and spreading hate but you get upset when IPOBS call Nigeria a Zoo? ? Does most Nigerians not behave like ANIMALS ,reason why the country is not moving to any direction. You are busy and bent on fighting ethnic war but you don't see the big picture. Open your mind and see the light....There is no difference between you and those ignorant IPOBS who are running around insulting every body. You are not better than them,just on the other side of the fence. You are a typical example of the reason why black people will remain inferiors. Match on,internet soldier!

OMANBALA1:
Mister, I have a question for you. I have been silently watching you for years here and I have noticed your innate hatred for the Igbo ethnic group,though you claimed to not be a Yoruba.
Now,my question is WHAT IS REALLY WRONG WITH YOU ? Are you mentally sick or what ? You spend the greater portion of your time on the net fermenting and spreading hate against a group who share a country with you. There is definitely something wrong somewhere with you,psychologically. A normal human being doesn't behave like this....You live a life of hate and that is disturbing. You need to review your lifestyle. Good morning.

An Address Delivered By Chief Obafemi Awolowo On The Occasion Of His Installation As The First Chancellor Of The University Of Ife At Ile-Ife On Monday 15 May 1967
YOUR EXCELLENCIES, YOUR HIGHNESSES, MY LORDS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
“When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.”
Today, my heart overflows with profound gratitude to God Who has made it possible for me to be in this gathering, and to play in it the historic role of the first Chancellor of this most promising University.
By ordinary human calculations, I was not due to regain my freedom until 11 May 1969 – that is, two calendar years minus four days from today, or a little less than three calendar years from the date of my release from prison on August 3, last year. But by the Grace of God, and the divine agency of Lt. Col. Yakubu Go won, Head of the Federal Military Government, here stand I, in the midst of you, as the principal figure of this memorable occasion.

My thanks, therefore, go very deep to Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon, the late Lt. Col. Adekunle Fajuyi, Col. Robert Adeyinka Adebayo, Military Governor of Western Nigeria, the Chairman and Members of the Provisional Council of the University of Ife, for the parts which they have severally played in making the early restoration of my personal liberty and my installation here this morning as the titular head of this reputable seat of learning, the accomplished facts of which all of you are undoubted witnesses. It is not generally known that, apart from labouring for my release up to the time of his death, and apart from gallantly and heroically laying down his life for his military superior and friend, Lt. Col. Adekunle Fajuyi became, in his death, an unpremeditated ransom for my redemption.

GoldNiagara:
I will go further and say that, after she shall have survived her present paroxysm, Nigeria has need to make a leap over a quarter-of-a-century, if she is to satisfy the legitimate yearnings of her teeming peoples. After very careful consideration, I have no doubt in my mind that this feat of social rocketry is feasible, provided that Science is the booster and the Humanities the controllers. It is for this reason that I regard as enlightened and farsighted the University’s plan to reverse, within the next five years or so, the present approximate ratio of 2 : 3, in respect of students doing science and non-science subjects.

GoldNiagara:
It is my ambition that the University of Ife – and indeed every other University in Nigeria for that matter – should be reasonably independent financially. It is incompatible with and subversive of the academic independence of a University for its Council and Vice-Chancellor, now and again, to go cap-in-hand to beg for funds from the Government, especially when such Government is controlled by a political party.

GoldNiagara:
Whether we are conscious of or acknowledge it or not, the fact remains stubborn and indestructible that poverty, disease, social unrest and instability, and all kinds of international conflict, have their origins in the minds of men. Unless we tackle and remove, or at the very least minimize, these evils at their source, all our efforts in Nigeria to bring about happier circumstances for our peoples, and all the endeavours of mankind to evolve a better world, would be completely in vain. It is only when the minds of men have been properly and rigorously cultivated and garnished, that they can be safely entrusted with public affairs with a certainty and assuredness that they will make the best of their unique opportunity and assignment....

The cardinal aim of every academic discipline is to develop the power to think – clearly, correctly, and scientifically.
According to Haddock –
“The power to think, consecutively and deeply and clearly, is an avowed and deadly enemy to mistakes and blunders, superstitions, unscientific theories, irrational beliefs, unbridled enthusiasm, fanaticism.”
It will be seen, therefore, that the power to think clearly, correctly, and scientifically, is the greatest of all the powers that a man can possess.

I advice you go to bed cause this thread will be to hot for you, cause I am just getting started with Oil and Gas before I move to other sectors, why are you trying to give the beautiful woman identity crisis, you want to infect her with the sickness you are suffering from, if not for your ancestral madness why would you assume that a sane Esan or Benin person will bear one Name from Benin and the other from Esan and a English name then where is here surname Olodo, free you mind from hate and accept the beautiful Igbo lady.

otabuko:
This is going to be a lesson. As short as possible. Undergraduates should strive to make atleast a 2.1. People refer to Timaya and 16/400 in Jamb and my simple question is, would everyone make it like Timaya in Music. Some refer to Dino. Now, do you have the connection he has. *back to my point* after making a 2.2[CGPA 3.42] and bagging masters, I still see job openings that say 2.1 in first degree plus masters. I just feel like fainting, and no one agrees to shift for me to faint. Try your best undergraduates. Your first degree is always the strongest side. Cheers.
Do not let people deceive you with entrepreneurship, everyone would not be one.
Cheers again!

No. Awo was conferred with GCON, not GCFR.

Chief Awolowo provided the needed template for regional development and national cohesion when he held sway as Premier of Nigeria’s South West Region. Today, the region chiefly occupies a pacesetter platform compared to other regions of the federation.

No other Nigerian, dead or alive, has received the national honour of Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR) without serving as president or Head of State, save Chief Awolowo.

Nothing else could have qualified the peerless Chief Awolowo but his saintly sense of integrity, his populist, largely anti-elitist nationalistic orientation, an unrivalled, positively infectious commitment to the ideals of democracy and rule of law. An ideologue, he adhered to the strictest avowals of true federalism which are still widely celebrated within and outside the realms of Nigeria till date. http://tribuneonlineng.com/obafemi-awolowo-leadership-model/

Didn't i tell you there's more equality in Igboland?

Yam sellers on road sides and area boys are the signs you get from an very unequal society of a handful millionaires and several millions of paupers like Lagos and Ibadan.

As at then, Nigeria was a commodity-trading nation. Then, we realised that the demand for iron rods and cement was so high, and I became very interested.

As we discovered this opportunity, we started importing cement and iron rods, selling for Pacific Holdings, owned by Dr. Deji Adeleke. That also ignited my passion for real estate. My senior brother was in the banking sector, while I was into commodity trading. I went to Lagos to join him for us to work together. From there, I started doing real estate. That was around 1998/99. And eventually, I set up my company, Gran Imperio Group (GIG).

Before I formed mine, I’ve worked with many companies in terms of collaboration. I have worked with a lot of many Indian companies in the area of manufacturing, but I discovered my interest lies in construction companies. I decided to train myself through various engagements both locally and internationally. In a bid to equip myself, I’ve had to travel to so many countries, joining some business groups like association for international business.

I like to do big things; it is one of the ways I challenge myself. I have learnt valuable lessons from several business negotiations. I have learnt how to make seemingly impossible task to work. All of these have given me wider exposure and ever since I developed a tough skin and a slogan ‘Otisese’, meaning, it is possible. https://guardian.ng/business-services/real-estate-as-my-career/
