Niger delta states (South South) combine produces 2.9 million barrels of oil per day, while igboland only produces less than 50,000 barrels per day, go figure out. The day true federalism will be implemented, u will suffer like the northerners u make fun of because u people have little to No tangible resources for export.

Lmao, you're just as empty as they come, you throw out numbers without supporting your purported claim with a backup. Assuming I accepted your stats, you honestly believe that true federalism is all about controlling oil resources? How silly can this be? This is why economic issues shouldn't be discussed in a beer parlor. So in your mind, you really believed if we really practiced true federalism, according to you, no oil in the SE would make SE suffer? Here are a few pointers

- Without oil, the SE on average has the lowest poverty [PAP Report], I'll leave you to deduct what this means,
- During the cash policy by SLS when it was introduced in June 2014, according to their study, there were 5 states that topped the list of cash movers... Anambra was no.4 and Lagos and Anambra were the least oil producing states
- Anambra and Enugu has been listed among 9 states alongside Lagos as states that are economically viable. In fact, the term is "financially prudent" states not saddled with so much debt in comparison to their GDP.
- Academically, the SE surpasses all other regions (WAEC and other examination councils have proved it time and time again). Let the govt hands off and several years later, let's take a stock of how far we've come.

With these few pointers, what am I trying to say?
Despite the federal govt's blockage to hold the SE down, contrary to your myopic belief, the SE is economically viable even without oil at least quoting your own numbers. If we practiced true federalism, first and foremost, the SE would be one of the MOST prosperous regions. Why?

a. Our local govt (without the state) would function, there would be grass root development considering that SE has the highest # of small scale and indigenous factories. Heck, Innoson has set the pace and is going higher and higher, mark my word 20 years from today, you'd see that SE is a global exporter of auto vehicles.

b. Our states would grow rapidly, let the govt hand over the airports, seaport, and rails to private companies like the U.S. and you watch and see magic happen right before your own eyes. Why do you think the FG has refused to dredge Onitsha river and wouldn't grant approval for it to be dredged? Why do you think the SE was removed from he rail modernization plan? Even on the issue of power, former minister of power that started his own power generating company in Aba was consistently disturbed. Let the govt hands off, and you'll know how economically hungry we are.

c. The SE is blessed beyond oil, the coal deposits in Enugu is more than enough to generate enough power to lighten up the entire SE and even for export. Imo is blessed with oil and gas (I believe they have more of gas deposits) that's yet untapped. Advanced R& would definitely open the gateway to be the next GAZPROM of Nigeria, may be even Biafra

I would stop for now but I think you need to educate yourself because the SE don't need NIGER DELTA OIL to succeed. ND needs the SE and not the other way around. We have shown resilience in the times like this and even worse, think about when it's better.

Indiaindia:

STOP FOOLING URSELF. BIAFRANS OR IBOLAND HAS NO OIL. OIL COMES FROM NIGER DELTA

So oil from Anambra and Imo is Niger Delta oil? Lmao... Your divisionary tactics won't work.

Are you the judge? Why not let the case get to court first and see if the plaintiff won't win. For your information, if the counsel for the plaintiff is sound, chances of the plaintiff winning the case is 90%.

Lmao... Winning a case because you bought a bottle of coke that you haven't consumed, and all it cost you was N90 for the purchase. Please pass me the ganja you're smoking.

Please who know the rate of Bitcoin now?

BTC increased drastically over the past few days, the rate as of now is $904/BTC. Convert that to whatever Nigerian rate (Parallel or BM rate) and there you have it.

.

The president didn't planed to be there before.
Forget all that those newspaper were writing.
If the president want to come,he will come and even fly can not touch him.

I thought you guys would have gone to Abuja by now to release the main coward and scammer (kanu) from Kuje prison.

There's a proverb in Igbo that says, when an adult holds onto what belongs to a child and raises it up for the child not get it, a time would come when the hand of the adult begins to ache, the adult would bring his hands down and the child would take what belongs to him... A time is fast approaching, Buhari would be the one to go to Kuje prison and release Nnamdi Kanu.

PHILipu1:


Go and check the igbos in the northern states like kano,maiduguri,kaduna,katsina etc.
Go check the number of igbos in west and south-south Nigeria and you will know what i mean

What a seriously dumb comment. Lagos with a population of almost 20 million residents is the smallest state in the contraption called Nigeria, yet they have the LARGEST IGR in the entire country. Like the one you quoted, do some reading before opening that thing you call mouth. The SE states (Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi) are way big enough to accommodate 100+ million Igbos and we're not up to that.

Hello,

Do you have any stations for lease?

Hello,

I am putting a proposal together and I want to know if you have any filling stations for lease in Lagos at the moment... Manny4life@gmail.com

Why is BUHARI coming to the 5% he hated and discriminated against so much?

His murderous soldiers should ferry him with jet fighters and kill unarmed peaceful protesters with weapons bought with the resources extracted from the land of the hated 5%, it wont deter us from protesting and resisting a wicked ruthless dictator called BUHARI

This is his last minute effort to salvage whatever relationship he has with the east because it's dawning on him that the struggle is real and gaining international audience. He wants to be seen as a good president, do you think it's a coincidence that he his VP visited the east, they're reviewing ths 2nd Niger Bridge plan (though I believe it's all bs), and now he wants to visit the east. 2017 is pregnant and no one knows what it will birth to... All I'm saying is that no matter what happens, we shouldn't bear arms.

As much as I'm in support of the Biafran struggle, I will suggest against the use of arms. Mr. Trump has pledged full support and promised to bring before the UN, a few other countries are in line with Trump. A few days ago, 24 UK parliamentarians supported Kanu's release, before you know it, the number would significantly increase, slow and steady, the world is listening.... let's wait and see how things unfold in 2017. Patience is a virtue, we must exercise it.

If you are in the US or have relatives in the US trying to send money to naija, I will exchange the funds at 410/$, simply deposit into my US bank account and receive instant funding into your Nigerian account. Don't bother with western Union and co, they exchange at 375/$ with fees and the exchange rate drops to around 345/$.

See my contact below.

Your rate is way too low.. Guys are exchanging for $450 when BM rate was at N485.

adimsmt:






Agitation aside, please can you expatiate who are the "Real Igbo Guys"

Anyone not in support of Nnamdi Kanu or Biafra is considered a "real Igbo guy". These "real igbo guys" don't live in the SE, they probably don't have the slightest idea about the struggle, and most are barely concerned about the outcome. Bro, these are the "real igbo guys".

Uchihaitaci:


Men shut the hell up I shave an EOY report to finish dumb retardd

Lmao... Adaka feeling special. Again, learn to pick your battle cos I am not the one. You lack the academic authority to call our fellow Igbo boys "Illiterates and dimwits". I don't care for whatever report you have to finish; I am not impressed by the mere charade you're putting up here. Next time you open that dirty, stinking gutter of a mouth to abuse hardworking men who hustle for a living, 100x likely better than your sorry ass, know that people like us would always serve your dish cold or hot, you decide. Now run along, real men with real hustle are discussing... Ewu hausa.

Uchihaitaci:


Anuofia better go do something better with your time.i am done with you guys

Haha... negodu adaka na ewotalu'm onu, mu na gi enwegho okwu. Now you realized that you're done, learn to pick your battle next time.

Uchihaitaci:

Dude firstly 99℅ of them are illiterates...And do you know whom the world look at to judge the educated ones like us? Them!!! Unfortunately the world sees all of us as traders so what ever these dimwitts do or say is assumed to be the voice of all of us.
All because we the educated ones have chosen to take a back seat and be led by these dudes.

Secondly my grammar ? Hahahahahahahaha...I rest my case

In fact, your iberibe in on a different level. Did you say 99%? Lmao, this shows you lack exposure, and have no clue what the hell you're talking about. The boys of today are not the boys of yesterday, most of the boys you're calling illiterate are probably more educated than you. The world looks at us as traders? The same world recognize Igbo boys as hardworking, educated, smart and intelligent. Don't you think it's rather disappointing to be led by illiterates and dimwits yet you call yourself educated? Education and academia that isn't beneficial to you or even the "illiterates" around you isn't worth it. My advice to you is to stop hating on these boys because most of them have reached the highest echelons of life than you'd every imagine. Ekwusigo'm ka o ha'm n'onu

Uchihaitaci:


Dude you know what I meant ... Phone keyboard autocorrected Nkpor ... So don't be a dick

Haha... I know what you meant, onye Igbo ka'm bu.. but you did not know it was Nkpor until you were corrected.

Uchihaitaci:


It's another one, as many of you guys that keep crawling out of the pits I will put you in your place ... Go Mr night school English major.
Tell me how else could u have arrange my grammar?

I think what you meant to say was I need to simplyfy it further for you to be able to comprehend?

Nna eh... Biko, stop calling someone an illiterate because you sure ain't better. Mr. educated calling umu afia spare parts "illiterate" can't even string words correctly...Ifele emechi

Uchihaitaci:


I served in Katsina, in dutsima local government. I was spent my childhood in the east

And so...? Like he rightly pointed out, there's nothing like Nkpir in Anambra state.

@tooltip, you seem not to have learned, why anyone would make numerous large untraceable deposits in a bank account is ridiculous. I hope you recover your funds.

Is that not chief Obi in the video?

I don't think so, Chief Obi wouldn't be this classless, he has a reputation to protect.

3RNEST:


Please what is "Enter the Wall" am curious

Tooltip: Sir, you're pushing me to the wall
elot: Enter the wall

That was funny though

elot:
because of those intellectuals that have taken their time to call me to solicit on ur behalf and those that i respect so much, Tope and the likes, i have paid him his money @ 420
Elotpayment Admin
+13474585621

Wonderful... So this is what you paid him?

dragnet:
elot is simply blackmailing tooltip and trying to carry out some sort of cooperate scamming, you may have your way this time but there's always a repercussion.

My thought exactly... Dude can never try that with me.. Before Abraham was, Jesus was born. The reason why tooltip wouldn't report it is more than likely his hands ain't clean either.

buddyluv:


I don't agree with how elot interacted with tooltip. But you guys need to realize you can't dump funds in someone's account and expect to get your naira easy peasy not minding the consequences on the account holder. If Elots account is reported to the IRS for smurfing (small deposits to eventually get to $10k+ to avoid being triggered at the $10k threshold for cash deposits) what he will be paying back in taxes and the rigors of all that will be way more than 25x5400 naira. It's America, a country of Laws. And Wells Fargo can close his account and report him to chexsystems which could make it difficult opening another account. All the money in that account will be frozen and sent to him via check six weeks after. Do you have an idea of what it means not having access to your funds for six weeks in US? If mortgage and bills are directly debited from that account, then elot will have a migraine. So elot is in a tough spot. Mr Tooltip, you are a business man, learn to bite the bullet sometimes and move on. It's 100% your fault, and you need to take responsibility for that. Collect the 420 and face front. Talk to your "boys" that just deposit money in people's accounts.

Umm, this is a business account not a personal account. Also, more reason why elot has to repay exactly the same amount paid into his account. The amount isn't up to the 10k threshold that should trigger bank verification according to him. Also, elot moves a lot of cash considering he has a customer base of 110,000. This isn't a small business account, so let's put to rest all this IRS and bank verification stuff. How does elot draw down the $$$ in his account in exchange of another instrument? Transfers? Withdrawals ? Payments ? e-Check ? Same way he moves that cash, he should use the same method to pay tooltip his money... As simple as that. Let's all be honest in our assessment.

I remember like 5 weeks ago when ymodulus shared some secret about bitcoin trading , unfortunately he was able to shared half of the secret ( the mods did not allow him to finish it ) ...

If you have sense , I mean if you are not lazy, you will finish the other half on your own .. but up till now people are still disturbing him to come and finish the tutorial ( it happened during the mini importation time too )
I was talking about getting btc on paxful the other time , some people said paxfull is full of scammers , meaning they can't take the risk ( I mean olX is full of scammers took but I buy things there and I have only been scammed there once ( price I had to pay ) )

I've used Paxful a few times and I love the escrow feature. Just like any other platform, you got to vet your partner like if they are verified or not; how many deals have they done, etc and for me especially, I prefer bank related transactions because it's real time.

$300 @ 485 BoA instant transfer... Quote me if you're interested. Unless you're a well known member, I won't transfer first. Escrow highly preferred.

$300 @ 485 BoA instant transfer... Quote me if you're interested.

$100 worth of BTC available at N510 or best offer.

AntiIPOOP:

Making shoes is now an achievement?

It is an achievement and here's how. Let's take a cursory look at the manufacturing process and the economic benefit

From a manufacturing perspective, this would spur increase in raw material:
a. the leather made from skin hides
b. soles made from treated wood I believe
c. the machinery for cutting and sewing,
d. thread made from cotton and gum made from i don't know

All these would directly and indirectly cause a chain reaction to the economic benefit below

a. Create direct jobs for the economy. 1,300 shops equals to 1,300 self-employed individuals. We've not taken into consideration the extras they hire. So it's fair to say this would create at least 2,500 jobs directly. Indirectly, because we can't estimate, at least based on the points listed up, it would create a few thousands of jobs indirectly.

b. Source of revenue for govt. This may be minute, but if you look at the businesses that are directly and indirectly associated, this little venture you see today would boom to generate tens of millions in tax revenue for the govt.

c. Wealth. This is self explanatory, I don't need to explain it .

In a nutshell and to answer your question again,it's beyond achievement. This is exactly what Nigerians have been clamoring for: making a stable environment to for manufacturing and sustainability. If Buhari's govt focused on setting up small scale industries and supporting them instead of witch hunting them, Nigeria would experience tremendous (real) growth. You'd see our focus shift from imports to exports.

Finally, it's okay to criticize but if something is done right and very well, appreciate it. Nothing wrong in saying "good job".

Wingback:



I am not deceiving anyone, Democrat Obama can't Intimidate or leverage Russia, you think Hilary can. Russia has warheads, they have been sanctioned severely yet are doing just fine, What else is left for Them to leverage currently that Hilary would try if she gets in(Which she won't).

Hilary is a liar and a pathological one at that, you think she won't appeal to the crowd to get what she wants, Trump actually praises Putin and it's clear from his media comments he doesn't want war...

Did you say Russia is "doing just fine"? Have you looked at their recent economic data? Continue hyping Russia, the only thing they have for them is their nuclear warheads, other than that, their economy has been on a serious decline.

You are not an American citizen my friend,give me your social security card no,your employment card no or your photo voter identification card.The first two are just to be sure you are a legal resident in the US while the last one could only be obtained if you are a citizen.Prove to me that you are a US citizen and i will say sorry to you.

Why would he want to give you his social security card?
Btw, what is an employment card?
Btw, I don't know what state you're in but there's not "Photo Voters registration card", what is that? You vote with you Drivers License or State ID. There are other acceptable forms of identification such as military ID or whatever the list suggest. I have never heard of a photo voter's card.

mavinc4u:


I know is not easy but everything depends on how you look at it. You miscalculated it, if you used to send $1000 which was N199,000 but right now that same $1000 will give you N450,000 and soon the same $1000 will give you more than N1,000,000 so there is no way it will not be to the advantage of someone sending hard currency no matter how expensive things are in Nigeria right now. Whatever 199k was taking care for you before 450k will take care of it right now with enough change.

Really? When a bag of rice that was $12,000 is now N24,000 and you expect the same thing bought for N199k to still remain? I don't think you understood his point. There's inflation causing sharp increase in prices, whatever could be bought yesterday, you need to double the price to buy today. All you're looking at are inflated prices, nothing else even our budget is inflated as well.
