It is on construction almost finish,the shops are available now for sale

Great!! Now let me see... how far is this complex from Shoprite in Asaba? I am thinking by the time it is completed - if I drop my SUV for repairs at the Auto complex, I can then stop by the Asaba City Mall that houses Shoprite to do some shopping and probably, watch a movie, while my vehicle is being fixed.

talk of good road network and ease of movement even Lagos and portharcourt cannot be compared to Enugu,its just that most people who make this assertion's have never left the city they lived in,am from the north and I haved travelled every state in this country

Enugu does not have the population in terms of numbers, that Lagos has. Just imagine what would happen on Enugu's roads if the population went up, to equal that of Lagos state. You would witness a gridlock of epic proportions.

I have been seeing this Xterra in my dreams for the past 7 days. And each time I see it, it just keeps saying one thing to me - "Buy me, buy me, buy me..." But my heart is set on a 2009 Range Rover Sport. Now, what do I do?

A girl has every right to tell a married man 'NO, otherwise I don't know

Yes, but you should also ask yourself, what was the married man doing, by approaching her in the first place? It takes two to tango. If there were no buyers, there would be no sellers of a service or a product or even, an affair! You need to see how some married men pull out all the stops to get single girls into their net! And the kind of lies they tell? That is a story for another day.... It just reminds me of something that happened to one of my neighbours, like dat...

A girl sleeping with a married man should exercise patience, cos the girl that will sleep with her own husband is in JSS3 writing Home Economics

Na wetin many women no grasp, dem donate to married guys.

I always laugh when I hear people talking like this. The married man wey dey sleep with other women apart from im wife, nko? The man no get sense? It takes two to tango, please! May other men sleep with the wives of those cheating married men, too!

Put your bitterness aside, power ministery is not responsible for power generation or power distribution nor metering and billings.
Fashola and the ministry under him didn't sell these functions to those companies either.
They were sold to incompetent companies by the administration that privatized them. Now, people are blaming him for not providibg power.

So what exactly is the Ministry of Power responsible for, if they are not responsible for any of the things you listed here? The govt should just scrap the entire ministry then, since they cannot be held liable for anything.

Prepaid meter rocks. I just recharge my meter and use it as I like..

Are you under Ikeja Disco, or Eko Disco?

Is it just about to be constructed, or has it been fully developed? These are the kind of projects that make sense, which every state govt should embark on. Do you know how many people will be employed in this complex, and how much revenue would accrue to both the people & govt, once it starts operation? Wait first, let me get my calculator...

Bro i understand you very well but am just thinking out loud that not even a youth can solve the problem of the state... The state is one of the worst state when it comes to education cos their children hardly go to school most especially during cashew time... that state really needs God's divine intervention

And why does this happen? The state govt led by Yahaya Bello has not sat down to map out the right policies, and implement the right actions to keep those children in school. There are other states that faced this problem in the past, but have managed to reverse the ugly trend.

It is time Yahaya Bello puts on his thinking cap, and sits down with educational administrators from different parts of the country, to get ideas and skills on how to tackle the issue. His Commissioners are rather clueless. I cannot point to one that has performed well, since they were sworn in. May God deliver Kogi form this pit of ineptitude.

Which is the sad reason why the upcoming generation has no sense of direction or belonging.
Our so called leaders are going to find out shortly how they are doing more harm than good by proscribing history lessons in schools. You CANNOT build a nation by neglecting your past, whatever the circumstance was.
We are still far from becoming a nation, in the real sense of the word.

You are right. The greatest disservice done to people of this generation, was to stop history from being taught in schools. Let us learn from the words of George Santayana.

Dongreat:
She didn't lie but said what the powers beyond her told her to say.

What is that supposed to mean? If she knew it was not possible to clean up Ogoni, why did she even open her mouth to say so? Is she a child? Or was she appointed as Minister of the Environment to provide comic relief? Why did she throw her integrity to the dogs, by acting out a script given to her by these so-called "powers"? _mtcheew

misterawo:
Nonsense... more sorrows in her remaining days on earth.

And may you too share in such sorrows, all the remaining days of your life!

logica:
This same Kyari??

Something doesn't add up..... How can a man who helped the Igbo escape from the north, then turn around to commit atrocities against their officers, during the coup? Or am I missing something, here?

Dongreat:
Sorry man but no one is cleaning up ogoni because the money has been given as bribe to government officials by the oil companies during exploration. And except a spare $13 billion dollars can be found in space, ogoni will remain like that for years to come.

So, you mean this partial Oyinbo called Amina Mohammed, lied to all Nigerians who had electricity to watch NTA network news that night, about the Ogoni clean up? Chai!!

Dongreat:
A job in the UN is not profitable than a Local Government Chairman in Nigeria but its more globally recognized, respected and envied. A UN job will take you to places free, where the devil will even need a visa to enter. A job in UN is top class and her position equally rival that of a president. Moreover she can multitask her UN job and that of a Nigerian minister because it's impossible. And lastly a job in UN will boost your CV and it's an escape route from a clueless, no blueprint and recession suffering economy.

But how did she clinch that job without a first degree? Anyway, that has nothing to do with me. My concern is what will happen to the clean-up of the Ogoni area in the Niger-Delta, once she leaves. They made plenty speeches in front of plenty cameras about the issue, last year.... but till now, nothing has been done. Wetin dey happen?

Ajoke Mohammed, may God continue to support and uphold you. This woman has been through a lot in her life. Hmnn.....

Eledan:
You don't need to curse anyone to prove anything to them, its still part of their strategy to get the focus away from the germane issues you've raised.
These folks are my regular customers with the same modus operandi - taking your eyes off the ball

No mind dem. Just read this excerpt below, and compare it with the tales by moonlight being spun by the guy who claims Fani-Kayode was released by onye Igbo.

Victor Babaremilekun Adetokunboh Fani-Kayode (nicknamed "Fani-Power"), Q.C., SAN, CON (1921–1995) was a leading Nigerian politician, aristocrat, nationalist, statesman and lawyer. He was elected Deputy Premier of the Western Region of Nigeria in 1963, and he played a major role in Nigeria's legal history and politics from the late 1940s until 1995.....

In the early hours of the morning of 15 January 1966, Major Kaduna Nzeogwu, a Nigerian Army officer of Igbo extraction, attempted to effect the first military coup d'état in the history of Nigeria. The attempt, though ultimately unsuccessful, resulted in a lot of bloodshed and many senior members of the ruling party, the military and the government of the day were brutally killed.

Early that morning the coupists, under the command of Captain Emmanuel Nwobosi, attacked and stormed the home of Chief Remi Fani-Kayode, the Deputy Premier of the Western Region. Fani-Kayode was brutalised by the mutineers in front of his whole family and in the presence of his son.....

Chief Fani-Kayode witnessed the killing of his friend S.L. Akintola by the mutineers and from there he was taken to the military cantonment in Lagos where he was also scheduled to be executed by them. However, luckily for him, on arrival at the Ikeja military cantonment in Lagos the mutineers were overpowered, overwhelmed and killed by loyalist troops under the command of Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon (who later became Nigeria's Head of State).

Fani-Kayode was freed by the loyalists and kept by them in a safe house until law and order was restored in the country. The coup attempt was effectively quelled by the loyalist forces and all its ringleaders were either killed or captured and detained....

funniest enough, this very yaya bello is a very young man which i believe should have a good plan for the state compare to those old and retarded igala fooools that have been governing the state before now.....

See, it is not a person's ethnic group or his youth, that makes him capable & efficient to run a place. It is a combination of his intellect, will power, insight, ability to successfully execute projects, management skills etc., that come into play, when it comes to managing a state as diverse as Kogi.

I don't know if it is the people that keep voting wrong individuals into power, or if it is just the clueless citizens among them, that keep contesting for governorship. This is a state with so much potential, and so many educated people with foresight. Yet, only the wrong people end up as governors.

Just look at Nassarawa which is next door to Abuja. Their governors may not be the most efficient set of people within their locality, but they have managed to tap into their proximity to Abuja, to develop their area. What has Kogi done with its own proximity to the FCT? I repeat, that state needs divine intervention, I swear!

simplibaba:
The oracle have spoken.......
yaya no dey try at all for kogi people

I don talk am before say, the whole of Kogi state needs deliverance. They should invite Dr. Olukoya of MFM or Oyedepo of Winners Chapel to conduct a crusade in all the geographical zones of that state, to get rid of the anti-progress forces that are determined to cripple the place. I mean how can one state have Yahaya Bello as governor and Dino Melaye as senator? Na curse??

Too many bloggers in Nigeria use deceitful means to attract traffic to their blogs.

1). They circulate stories that are inaccurate and untrue.

2). They cut-and-paste stories from other blogs, without caring to check how many other sites have done the same thing. I mean, who is going to come to your blog to read the same story, he has read in 15 other blogs? Duh!

3). They lack originality. Their content is often plagiarized, or simply too pedestrian. Who wants to know how many people are crushing on a particular celebrity, for example? Who cares?

4). Their sites are not user-friendly, eye-catching enough or easy to navigate.

5). Their sites take too long to load. I mean, who has enough MB to wait for 15 minutes, while your site is still buffering?

6). They carry fake news. Most of them do not even bother to verify their stories, or confirm its authenticity. It reminds me of one clown who was arguing with me on NL, about how Davido bought over the multi-billion naira Emperor Estate, near Shoprite/Novare Mall, in Sangotedo area of Lekki. He had no facts to back it up. He merely copied it from a Snapchat or Instagram post. Person suppose copy with sense, nah!

nattyjay:
Where is the Nigerian attire?
Was looking to see ankara, lace or aso oke

Abi, o! Me sef, I dey wonder what is Nigerian about his attire. All he is wearing is a tunic over a pair of trousers, that could have come from anywhere on the planet. I thought he would be wearing the Isi-agu with an abada wrapper, along with the woolen cap and feather.

shadechacha:
The fact that they brought it to the public, was for interested parties to comment, so if you are not interested, just waka pass. Abi you be busybody?

You are addressing the wrong guy. Please read the comment of the poster I responded to, so that you can understand the point I made.

*picks mic again*

I hope you are not obtaining much needed succour and comfort from your other NL account Eleran! Lol! I don dey suspect you o.

Which document you cite sef except that Fani-Kayode link that flew apart like a pack of cards leaving you naked

*drops mic*

Go back to the beginning of this thread and go through all my comments carefully. You will see all the sources I cited, to back up each point I made. But I know, this task would be too difficult for you to carry out, since you are fixated on FFK's father, and you find it easier to swallow tales by moonlight, that are woven by spin doctors!

Please provide proof to show that Laudate is Eledan, or it would never be well with you in this lifetime and the next!

Even a 5 year old can see how crappy your attempt to explain away the Plateau dimension of the 1976 coup is

Ademoyega says Sardauna resisted. I believe him over you because he knows more than you can ever know bruv.

*drops mic*

Hehehehe.... I love this. You are using unclear images from Ademoyega's book to support your fallacy, ba? Did Sardauna fire a gun at his captors or did he arm wrestle them, in this so-called attempt to resist arrest, that you are trying to portray here? For your information, it was Nzeogwu and his men that blew up the gates to Sardauna's house and shelled his residence, before they then got to Sardauna and killed him. They had a lot of fire-power at their disposal, so why did they have to shoot a man who was unarmed? Or did Ademoyega's book tell you that the late Premier of the Northern region, carried arms?

Oya, I repeat: "The Sardauna did NOT resist arrest, yet he was killed. His wife Habsetu, did not resist arrest, but she was shot in cold blood. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and Festus Okotie-Eboh did not resist arrest, but were still shot by Igbo coup plotters. Why? Try to answer each of these questions, without further delays, biko.

Eledan:
I told you yesterday these guys you are dealing with have no shame. The intention is to lure you into their familiar terrain, which is insults. You will NEVER have any meaningful conversation with these sort of people.

Na true word you talk! I should have listened to your advice, earlier. You need to see all the tactics they have deployed to attack me on this thread - from claiming my comments were false (even when relevant supporting documents were cited), to digressing and rambling about the 1976 coup, to whether Anioma people were Igbo and then on to FFK's father. Na wa, o!

nku5:
You have not shown ONE piece of evidence to back up your igbo coup fantasy. Besides arguing to save face you have proved and said nothing! I have used my precious data to upload Ademoyega accounts that have been accepted over 36 years of scrutiny. All you have been doing is dribbling yourself. The best you have done is to copy and paste a link and an article that contradicts you badly

Nah, all the dribbling and digressing has been done solely by you, on this thread. You have used the Fani-Kayode angle and the 1976 coup, as excuses not to answer my questions. You have refused to see the evidence, I provided.

Now, for the umpteenth time, "The Sardauna did NOT resist arrest, yet he was killed. His wife Habsetu, did not resist arrest, but she was shot in cold blood. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and Festus Okotie-Eboh did not resist arrest, but were still shot by Igbo coup plotters. Why? Try to answer these questions, without digressing again, or clutching at lame straws like the 1976 coup or FFK's father!" I'm still waiting, o!!
