Do you want Foreign rice (imported) or Nigerian rice (locally produced)?
· Specifically, what type/grade do you need? (e.g., long grain, short grain, parboiled, white)?

You said "cash and carry." Does this mean cash payment on the spot at the point of delivery?

· Can we have a simple delivery agreement? Upon complete delivery, you will inspect, and then make the full payment immediately without delay. Is this acceptable?

· Where in Lagos is the exact delivery address?

Once I have these details, I can confirm the availability and give you a firm price.

From experience,I know it's not easy being a single father, especially when your workplace doesn't have an on-site crèche.

But you will come to love it and it will build you is a way even you won't expect gor the bestooooo

Yes I already explained it here that I had a daughter when serving and I lost her mum, I wasn’t able to get custody of my child due to I have not balanced yet and so when I got balanced my wife which has just left me now to return back to her family house refused me bringing my daughter to stay with us, but now that she has left me I went to bring my daughter to live with me as the grand mum doesn’t have anything doing and i feel it’s right time for my daughter to come to the city and have a good life with me.

It is a shame to me if my 3 year old daughter see me arguing with you. Cause you are not Socially Educated you might be able to read and write But you shouldn't be allowed to have Public debate outside You're sitting room


And please what is the meaning of Otondo. Is it like you name or surname. Because i am wandering why you would start your sentence with your family name.

SonOfDSoil01:
🤣🤣🤣otondo, continue deflecting…..we talking about the reasons investors chose Lagos and by extension Sw as their first choice of destination and here you yapping about how other nationalities contributed to it development….if the youbas were no peaceful and accommodating in nature will there be room for development or would other ethnic nationalities find it attractive to migrate to? And in my submission, I didn’t single out just Lagos but the entire SW region which is the most industrialised region of the country. You clowns just love to play down the contribution of the Yorubas in making their region what it is today and always quick to attribute it to the contribution of every other ethnic nationalities forgetting that Lagos was already more developed and far ahead of Nigeria before the amalgamation of Lagos colony and Nigeria. My point still remains that, due to the peace loving nature and accommodating nature of Yorubas, which as made the Sw region safe and conducive for investment, no one would ever thought of investment in yorubaland. When you make your region safe and peaceful, investors will come and invest their money and that’s is fact. So quit deflecting and alluding the success of Sw to others shikena

Well I am now educated so I don't know the meaning of The word otundo

Can you please enlighten me what the meaning in you family house. Because i have never in my life heard of that word. Otundo. But it sounds like a surname and since you like using it it most have a very close ties to you or you family. So I am guessing family name

This is the first time i am hearing that Eko Atlantic City is today was ORIGINALLY dry land back in the 1950s and 1960s, etc, and that is that area where the ORIGINAL indigenes of Iruland (the original Yoruba name for Victoria Island) settled and lived.

This is educative. And I stand to be corrected Consigning my opinion about eco atlanta sand feeling alone Other ones I stand with my opinion

AlphaTaikun:
@lilsmart
My pleasure... I thank you too for the insights.

Cheers.

My core of my argument isn't to dismiss the Southwest's successes but to place them in a national context. The principle is this just as no single state can make a country, no one region can solely sustain a nation.

Lagos was indeed developed by people generations of them from every corner of Nigeria and beyond. Its safety for investment is built on

SonOfDSoil01:
what as all the incoherent gibberish got to do with that fact that Lagos and by extension Sw is still the safest region for investment? Aside from Lagos, Ogun is the most industrialised state, so you think it is just by coincidence that most investors chose to cite their investments in Ogun and also Ibadan which host a lot of industries? I asked a question, if it is not about safety and conducive environment, then why is Sw still attracting investors and not other region? Pls I don’t have time for senseless arguments this afternoon so avoid me and your nonsense gibberish

This is the first genuine intellectual debate this forum has seen,and I want to thank you for that.

AlphaTaikun:
I largely agree with your post especially the FIRST paragraph BUT disagree with the section where you indicated that Eko Atlantic City is one of the projects responsible which have led to flooding in Lagos State. This is incorrect and a rehash of existing false rumors online and offline. I will explain why.


First off, the horrendous flooding of Victoria Island and contiguous areas back in the late 1990s right into the 2000s is primarily as a result of a rise of sea water (ocean water levels) due to climate change and the melting of the polar ice regions of the North Pole and South Pole.

I remember back in the 1990s how the then Bar Beach was overan by rising flood waters and if Victoria Island had been totally buried underwater or submerged like the legendary Continent of Atlantis, then the nearby Ikoyi Island too would have been submerged in NO time.

Therefore, the brilliant Public-Private partnership from the early 2000s between the Lagos State Government and the Lebanese-Nigerian-owned Chagoury Group to RECLAIM the ORIGINAL land that EXISTED there several decades ago.


For many who don't know, where Eko Atlantic City is today was ORIGINALLY dry land back in the 1950s and 1960s, etc, and that is that area where the ORIGINAL indigenes of Iruland (the original Yoruba name for Victoria Island) settled and lived. The constant strong ocean waves kept on eroding the beach front and the soil kept sinking to the bottom of the sea. So, it was that same soil on the sea bed that Chagoury Group's construction arm dredged right back up from the sea floor to refill the original land area that had been lost. So, it's NOT that they went to bring sand from another part of Lagos to sandfill that location. That was the saving grace for Victoria Island and the contiguous areas otherwise, there won't be a Victoria Island today.

However, besides Eko Atlantic City, I totally agree with you that in other locations if Lagos State such as Victoria Island Extension (the former Maroko slum settlement demolished in 1990 by the Military Government of Lagos State), Banana Island and Lekki Phase 1 and 2 located on the Lekki Peninsula, parts of Isheri Schemes (which straddle both sides of Lagos and Ogun States) to mention a few, the careless sandfilling of those places from the 1990s blocked the natural water outlets from the creeks into the lagoon and ocean. It was a highly IRRESPONSIBLE thing that people did just because they were desperate to live on Victoria Island or on live in the Lekki Peninsula near posh estates.

Let's hit on the undeniable logistical truth the sheer scale of machinery for massive industrial projects like refineries makes Lagos's ports the only feasible entry point, as their unique capacity and heavy lift capabilities are unmatched elsewhere. The infamous struggle to transport Dangote's equipment from Lagos port to its site a journey within the same state exposes the impracticality of using other ports, which lack the draft, equipment, and connected heavy haul road networks.


This creates a vicious cycle where investors, seeking the path of least resistance and lowest risk, funnel all major projects through Lagos, inevitably choking the city.

SonOfDSoil01:
you still end up saying nothing…if safety is not the reasons then why has Sw continued to attract more investment both local and foreign investment? Which sane investors will go and invest in a region like SE where ipob terrorist have made the place unsafe and locking down the region every Monday? Or SS that also have criminal elements holding sway with cultism, kidnapping, and at a point militancy. You can continue deceiving yourself but the fact remains that Sw is still the safest region and economically viable with a ready market for products manufactured by most of the industry domiciled here and having the necessary infrastructure such a seaport, airport, railways etc

internet as a source of reference and knowledge

The internet isn't the voice of dunces it's the world's largest library. The problem isn't the library, but knowing how to read. Our job isn't to shut the library down, but to teach our people especially the youth how to find credible references

Flangelo12:
The Internet allows all manner of dunces to have an opinion and claim they are making sense.

Nobody, would locate any meaningful industry, especially of national interest in the restive East.

Not even your brothers would.

The better truth is as long as you have a black skin and and the only passport you can use in traveling internationally his the Nigerian passport. You are my brother and you no get choice



We must develop all parts of Nigerians. No individual have a say in this. It is a must. I want to be able to travel the full 36 state in Nigeria just as I can travel the full Europe

Safety has nothing to do with it?

Let try to educate ourselves with every give opportunity.
Here’s one

The question i was expecting to see was
Can a ship be track from point of origin to offload destination?
ANSWER IS. 💯 YES. WITH 💯 ACCURACY

Method 1. Automatic Identification System (AIS) Data This is the primary tool. Ships above a certain size are must broadcast AIS signals (position, speed, course, destination). via satellites and terrestrial receivers. NOT TELEPHONE



Method 2. Satellite Imagery & Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR): When AIS is off, intelligence agencies and firms use satellite imagery and radar (which can see through clouds) to detect and track large vessels like VLCCs in near real-time. This is how entities like U.S. Space Command or private firms (e.g., Spire Global, Orbital Insight) can monitor sanctioned vessels. Offline or online. Satellite Imagery Radar go find you. 💯


Method 3. Port Authority and Loading Terminal Records

Method 4. Fuel (Bunkering) Records: Investigators can subpoena records from ports where the ship refueled to establish its route.

Method 5. IMO Number - The Key Identifier: The IMO Number (9304667 for MV Skipper) is a permanent, unique identifier for a ship, like a VIN for a car. It does not change, regardless of changes in name, flag, or owner.


Summary Answer:

Yes, we can.

For its last route: AIS data (with gaps) and satellite intelligence (used by U.S. authorities) shows the MV Skipper, NIMASA mentioned it was last in Nigerian waters on July 1, 2024, then moved to the Arabian Sea and the Caribbean. AIS replay would show this exact path.

Public record everyone can check by his/her self


How to check Using AIS DATA

Method 1: Free & Public Websites (Best for Casual Use)

These are perfect for looking up a specific ship, seeing its current location, or checking a basic track.

Top Recommended Sites:

· MarineTraffic: The most popular and user-friendly.
VesselFinder: Very similar to MarineTraffic, with a clean interface
· FleetMon: Another major player.

Limitations of Free Tiers:

· Historical track playback is usually limited or requires payment.
· Data can be delayed by up to 24-48 hours.

1. Safety has nothing to do with it Because in those regions you claim are unsafe they still have Industries Even if it's not big. safety is safety.

Let me Use this as an example. If you have free plot Directly behind Your current house you are living And the land is unkept and Bushy You would definitely be expecting reptiles and rodent But as soon as you develop that property They Vanish

This tells you that development bring peace and Calmness to a society

2. The people of Ogun didn't misse the opportunity. They still have their land and can develop it any they want to.

Note: Them no dey catch late comers for development matter

SonOfDSoil01:
besides that, investors are looking for a safe and conducive environment for their business and only lagos and by extension SW provides that. The dangote refinery was initially planned for Ogun state like they rightly said but as a reason of politic played by the former governor of ogun state and other factor, Ogun missed the opportunity. There is also another refinery being planned in Ondo state and Ogun state will also be having a sea port about to be constructed by dangote and it is no surprise that Ogun also as the highest number of industries in Nigeria, all this because of a safe environment and accommodating nature of the Yorubas who are peace loving people and progressives which some clowns misconstrue to be cowardice. But that as earn the SW the destination choice of investors and multinationals

All dis money wey dem dey collect, dem fit give us di bank account number wey dem dey use collect am? Make dem even print di statement for dat account!

Make we know where di money dey go to, because dem just dey collect, collect, and we no dey see where e dey go. Make we do our plus and minus. Make we call our accountants for here, make we all look am together, analyze where di money dey go.

#prints Federal Government bank statement of account

fixing and reviving existing ports like Warri in the South and Calabar in the East is not an alternative to the new Ondo port, but a necessary companion to it.

Let me use this chicken cage analogy please Farmers in the house Tell me is i am wrong

you can't expect healthy growth by choking all activity in one cage

A true national strategy must work on multiple fronts reviving Warri and Calabar ports to give the South and East immediate space to grow, while also building the Ondo port to create a new western gateway so that development, investment, and opportunity are distributed, not concentrated.

Only then will each region have the breathing room to actually thrive.

the sheer scale of machinery for massive industrial projects like refineries makes Lagos's ports the only feasible entry point, as their unique capacity and heavy lift capabilities are unmatched elsewhere.


You remember di wahala wey dem see to carry Dangote him machines just from Lagos port go site for Lekki? Dat one na for inside Lagos sef! To carry dat kain load from Lagos port another state of Naija go be like to climb mountain with bicycle.

So, because investor no wan wahala, dem all dey rush Lagos, dey choke di city. Na why?

SonOfDSoil01:
so you will tell a private investor where to invest its money? So why re most ibos also leaving their region undeveloped to go and deverop ragos? This is the result of nzobu nzobu and no investor want to have their investment burnt down by some miscreant just because they want Biafra

The extensive practice of sand filling and land reclamation, as seen in major developments like Eko Atlantic and numerous other coastal estates, is a primary cause of flooding in Lagos. This process drastically reduces the natural channels and basins that would otherwise absorb and hold tidal and rainwater.
A practical illustration is to imagine a cup full of water if you then pour sand into it, the displaced water has no choice but to overflow.[/b]


Similarly, when sand fills rivers, oceans or sea the displaced water overwhelms drainage systems and floods adjacent neighborhoods like Lekki and Victoria Island.

While the government often demolishes houses and shops for obstructing waterways a measure that is sometimes justified t overlooks its own primary role in exacerbating flooding through extensive land reclamation projects like Eko Atlantic.

Yet, instead of halting such environmentally disruptive paradise building, authorities frequently shift blame onto vulnerable communities, destroying livelihoods under the pretext of enforcing laws they themselves undermine through unsustainable planning.

Okoroawusa:
After now someone will come and say it's because Lagos was a federal capital many years ago like Calabar and Lokoja were not once capitals. When you catch them on that one they will change and tell you it's because Lagos is by the sea like Port Harcourt, Warri, and many coastal cities in Nigeria are not by the sea.

Come ooo you this boy.


Your timeline is contradictory. Or are you posting fictional or misleading stories, possibly for attention, engagement, or trolling. The stories do not align with real world timelines or biological possibilities. really need to Explain this



@Xso666, you need to explain this calculation to us very well. How can your wife be pregnant in September–November, and now in December you have a grown daughter of 4 years who is too attached to her father? This timeline doesn’t make sense. You can’t use our heads to play. Please clarify these contradictions.

The math is not mathing

Xso666:
Hello guys, please I want to know if it’s okay for a daughter to see her fathers unclothedness because she is so attached to me and I take care of her alone so I don’t know if it’s okay for me to change my dress while she is In the room because I do send her out and she doesn’t like going outside to wait due to the nature of my compound, so I need matured advice on this issue and please she’s just 4 years old.

Please help move to front page so I get more opinions on this🙏

We watch, we comment, we “wait and see,” but we rarely stand up and say ENOUGH.

oyichi:
When the gods want to kill someone, they first make him mad, so this man is still talking about that January tax?

That’s the problem with Nigeria we are always in wait and see mode, never taking real action. Now we’re allowing France, a foreign country and not even an international organization, to step in and help collect our taxes starting January, which shows how far we’ve let things slide. We see the same passive attitude in how we respond to disrespect, like when Burna Boy kicked a Nigerian fan and people flooded his comments saying, “Good for him, the guy crossed the line instead of demanding accountability
Like when Burna Boy performed in the U.S. and noticed a girl sleeping, asked her to leave, and the audience supported his decision. But little did he know that he was about to be canceled now like this is busy paying for burial ceremony up and down and doing charity organization work in the US.
That is the real definition of other accountability

Note: we are paying for all this services they render. Either day cash or data.

For the tax paying a laborer money (TAX) to build a house for you only to get there and see that it is an uncompleted building or na only sand them take mob the house no cement no iron. And that same laborer choose to collect 30% more of his fee and then brought in a foreign agent to come and help him collect this 30% more

Wettin you go do??

We watch, we comment, we “wait and see,” but we rarely stand up and say ENOUGH.

Dalohad:
We shall see.

It’s interesting and honestly a bit ironic that Nigeria is partnering with France to improve tax collection starting January 1, yet we haven’t seen the same urgency in forming international partnerships to tackle the pressing issue of insecurity in our country.

Why is it easier to seek foreign expertise for collecting taxes than to secure lasting collaborations to protect lives and property?

Here’s my question

1. Is France doing this for free, or is there a cost financial or strategic that Nigeria will pay later?
2. Is this perhaps the main reason why President Tinubu has been visiting France so frequently lately?

What are your thoughts?

Men na gold diggers. See insult Chai!!!!!!!
I get one better idea wey go settle this matter once and for all.

Make all Nigerian men form one association quick. The name go be something like United Brothers of Nigeria (UBN)

For this December, all of us go go on total strike! No more funding for any side chick, any sugar baby, any ajebo baby. Os, ETC. AT ALL!

Let's hold our money tight like eagle hold chicken. No dash, no shopping spree, no baby my rent o, no daddy my hair need fixing. NOTHING!

by January, I promise e go be like film. Many of this baby girls go don pack comot for their fine house because landlord go dey whistle for their ear say, Dem go begin dey move like ghost up and down. Some go run go village claim say na family emergency.

The ones wey dey call themselves Queens and Baddies go dey outside, begging to enter their friend's one room, just for few days.Aje Street go full of former slay queens

women and men we go finally know who dey truly dig for gold, and who dey mine the gold in the first place!

Abeg, make who agree with this our proposal shout "Aye!"

the gift( phone, clothes,wig, car, house) that was received from ex-lovers, burning these gift Especially The wigs does more than restore energy. Just as She insisted that ex-lovers would “feel the shift” once their gift 🎁 are set on fire.

I think it should be burn too the act can help restore lost energy and break emotional ties that may still linger

Let me know how you feel when you've set yours on Fire 🔥

DyshApp:
A woman has gone viral on social media after telling people to burn the names of all their exes (former lovers).

According to her, the act can help restore lost energy and break emotional ties that may still linger.

The woman, identified as @wemimoofwealth, shared the message in a short video on TikTok.

She claimed that many people unknowingly leave parts of their “energy and glory” with ex-partners, and burning their names can help pull everything back.

In her words, burning the names does more than restore energy. She insisted that ex-lovers would “feel the shift” once their names are set on fire.

Nigeria has been used for too long. Our oil has been stolen, our name has been dragged through the mud, and our future has been pawned. This interception is a rare opportunity to turn the tables. The US government must not just seize a ship; it must shine a light on the entire shadowy network.

Our future generations demand not just the return of stolen oil, but the unmasking and prosecution of the thieves who have turned our nation into their criminal industry. The world must see their faces.

I call on all well meaning Nigeria to to lend their voices in demanding for the unmasking of this thieves. This will expose the domestic enemies of our state the so called "big men" who collaborate with foreign criminals to loot our commonwealth.

Relationship are not transactional, businesses are[b][/b]

Answer the question

Kobojunkie:
it is sad that even babies understand this simple fact but a grown up like you remains clueless to it. 🥱😩🥱

So the relationship you have with you parent and siblings are transactional. I don hear you oooo.

Kobojunkie:
I suggest you get yourself some well needed education at this point in time. If you have yet to grasp even the basic things by this point in your life, it explains a whole lot about your mentality so far.

Relationship are not transactional, businesses are
Know this today

Kobojunkie:
You no dey read? She expected that someone interested in her would at least pay for her food. 🥱

Here are the basics you need to understand and finally realize about relationships. Relationships are transactional, whether or not your mother and father told you of this or not. That some people out there would rather feign ignorance of this does not change this fact. Stop trying to carry what you obviously can't afford or know much of for your head and move on.🥱🥱

Here's why. If you use a Honda, Toyota or Mercedes and you want to know how much fuel your car burn per minute.
The formula is same just substitute you values. Irrespective of the car type and fuel quality you go get you answer

Mathematics is not English.

all the exams wey I don write for school and professional exams wey person still dey write don do me. She can keep her TEST SCRIPT TO HERSELF.

The only question here should be; why is she pained by the mans refusing to buy her food that she had to set ring light to make a post about it

Kobojunkieee:
1. That is only if you want to marry her, which I doubt, so why is that your concern at this point when you never even passed the test to gain her interest?

2. Storyland! Again, stop pretending all women must like you and offer themselves up to you for free. Go find those you can afford, and leave those that you can't. 🥱🥱🥱

3. Again, religious bullsheet! Which God? They god of your poverty abi na which one? 🥱🥱🥱

4. Kai... ignorance is a sickness!

The girl required the man to at least buy her a meal— a base value — before he could access her time and attention. Obviously, she values her time and attention as being above the reach of those men who would not at least pay for her meals. 🥱🥱🥱

5. It is sort of like the same home training that taught you to value women's time and attention as a value for you to freely access on your own terms? That poverty home training that is left you all frazzled by this one woman's temerity that you pay for instead? Seems your hometraining has left you of little worth.
