Nigerians wil rather be angry at Blackface for being "Envious, Jealous, nuisance", rather than be angry that he may have been really cheated

My thots exactly. When we've thrown morals to the wind.......

Nyceguy92:
Thank you very much for a nice job.
It is posts like this that enrich the minds of readers.

It is more preferable to ridiculous efforts like "Caption this picture of xyz going to the toilet," or " Miss bla-bla stuns in ....," whatever she is putting on.
Posts like these are no brainers and constitute a waste internet data.

Honestly you mirrorred my mind. What an intellectual community we would be if Mods push more of stuffs like this rather than

1. XYZ lovely cute family pix
2. See what ABC wore to church
3. UVW stuns in new dress
4. EFG looks dapper in a cleavage revealing dress
5. bbb show swags in new car

@ OP,

Thanks for stimulating this.

Dis ur analysis is not true sorry to say I have been in the business of raising broilers /turkeys / old layers for more than 15 years,
1. Broilers eat a way lot of food 12k for food for 10 weeks not true, a bag of broiler starter goes for nothing less than #2500 and that's for week one only, u have not started week two which is also one bag again remaining 7k there is no way on earth you gonna feed broilers for 8weeks with 7k.
your profit margin is very true but it feeding cost I don't agree. for the drugs na God stand for u, plus u didn't give multivite if that cost is really true.
Please reaccess ur spendings.

Bros I intend to follow you from now. I am hoping to start poultry business in June. I just acquired an acre in Sango-Ota. I have a partner in South Africa and we intend to do collaboration across those two spheres.

I have seen poultries with high mortality rates, so this guy's case is like 1 in a million to me

Oga shut de f*ck up... Don't teach me what you will never know.... What do you know about oil exploration and physics involved with it?.... Do you what brings about the formation of crude?.... When you don't a thing.... Politely ask questions.


Asking me to equip myself with information is quite an insult to my person....

In fact, what do you even know about geo-physics ?

Because one country found oil in their side of the basin is where you base your argument?

Oga no just make me vex

1. Zip it loose canon, you're obviously letting yourself and your knowledge of "Geophysics" down.
2. Asking you to equip yourself with more knowledge is an insult? then you don't want to learn, as nobody is infallible or an embodiment of all knowledge. What do I know about Geo-physics? Bros let's not reduce this to chest beating, as there are somethings I can't condescend to.
3. But you know what?, While you're at "Geophysics" conquest, exploration is going on in the Chad basin

If it is true, then let Tuface return all income and royalties on that song to him.

By now every sensible Nigerian has come to the realization that there is something more dangerous than "corruption", "incompetence"is more dangerous than corruption......

Buhari has shown himself incompetent in all ramifications ....... The money we have lost by the crash of the Naira alone in the eight month administration of Buhari should equal and exceed all the monies that can ever be stolen by the Jonathan administration ..... Our economy has slowed down and its growth rate is now less than the 10th in Africa. The contracting nature of our economy means we have lost all the economic gains by Jonathan to such a docile government

Sometimes it would be better to observe things or just carry out a little research.

This issue was brought before the courts in Italy (ENI is Italian) with various fines and punitive measures taken by "foreign courts" against their own.

533 Million pounds was found to have been paid to Nigerian "Big Men" who helped secure the fraudulent sale.

As usual, the country was shortchanged and ridiculed as the field is estimated to hold about 9 billion barrels of oil.

I know you would love to make Buhari out as evil yet, even foreign governments have found the two oil companies complicit in such monumental fraud.

welcome to NL, where those that are bereft of knowlege, shout the most on what they know nothing about

Ranks007:
Well I have seen the direction this government is towing. It reminds me of a controversial statement made by a sovereign member of the northern oligarch, stressing the need for an under carpet conspiracy to be held onto by the region, in order to remain in power.

Dan Etete is the only southerner who can boast of absolute control of OPL 245 and probably the only southerner to be awarded an oil well. As it is now, the oil block where corrupt practises on a large scale has been identified is that of Ettete...

As if we Nigerians dont know the high wired level of corruption going on at par in Northern owned oil blocs. Dan Etete connections with GEJ worsens the matter.

I am surprised at all...the vendetta is on course and the mission is to revoke all the favours and financial empowerment Gej granted his men and the region.....

they want to continue to make us leeches....so that we have no option but to continually look unto abuja and its brothers for help.....in so doing they continue to remain in power transferring it to their kids. . ..

Dangote and his northern brothers and co oil thieves in the west can remain saints in as much as their sovereign control of Nigeria over the rest is intact.

It is just a matter of time.....how long can they clip our wings....until a man is born!

Bros,

Before you go too far in this ethnic-oriented delusion, Dan Etete as a former minister of Petroleum, awarded OPL 245 to himself.

Slow down..... your rambling gives you away as incompetent of logical reasoning. You do not know anything about the case and instead to seek to learn, you show a bravado of ignorance.

Let me pick some missteps from your comment
1. Where did you get the information that Shell (Shell BP in Nigeria?) are shutting down production? Some of you just say rubbish.
2. can you supply any information or evidence where the quote was reported? "shell BP is shutting down their production due to unfavorable economic condition and the present administration`s lack of direction"
3. Do you think in all sincerity, the American, British and Hague support corruption? Dan Etete, the man behind this sleeze and thievery, his in jail in Paris, yet, business transactions on a block fraudulently acquired still went on under GEJ's government.....Is that a case you expect Shell as a global company, who have learnt lessons from past cases to fight for?
4. Economic gains under GEJ? I know you guy's have no single iota of morals and integrity. The corruption under GEJ is fresh air to you lot. You support people that steal, and attack the man trying to recover our stolen wealth? No wonder US Sec. of State John Kerry said "....It has been reported that over 50 people including government officials stole over $9 billion in Nigeria”.He added that money that was meant for arms to fight the Islamist sect, Boko Haram, was kept by Generals in the most populous black nation in the world."

But what do I know? You're just an irredeemable GEJ sycophant.....

[b]Fashola meets with local meter manufacturers 0
BY EDITOR ON JAN 5, 2016 POWER
The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN) yesterday met with the local manufacturers of pre-paid meters in Abuja to address the problems of estimated billing and electricity theft, Daily Independent reports.

The meeting, according to a statement by the Director of Press, Ministry of Power, Mr. Timothy Oyedeji, was to re-focus attention on the need to rapidly roll-out meters in order to ensure that Distribution Companies (DISCOs) charge electricity consumers only for energy they consume.

Speaking at the meeting, representative of the local manufacturers, Engr. Kola Balogun, said that access to and cost of credit is a major impediment to the growth of their production capacity in meeting present and future demand for meters. He assured the minister of their readiness to support the rapid roll out of meters, but expressed concerns over government’s readiness to put in place clearer incentives for local production as opposed to importation of meters.[/b]

I am even skeptical to celebrate this as a concrete achievement. There are local manufacturers of Pre-paid meters, and if only to encourage locals, why are the AKSG bringing in the Chinese

Logically there is sense in the clamour of the group......but that is where it stops

1. Procurement were supposed to pass through Burutai's office did not. instead, ONSA, who had no business with procurement, handled it.
2. You think PMB did check these facts before appointing Burutai?

Couples attending different church is a house already divided

What da Fvck is this doing on the frontpage OMG!!! Murderators!!!! what did you smoke?

dawtune:
Nah nah, it is mainly a sedimentary basin, which borders a basement rock. The basement rock which produces oil is a fractured basement rock. Geologically, oil cannot be found in Basement rocks except when there's a fracture in it. It can be likened to groundwater in basement rocks. Basement are not porous and permeable, so they cannot retain oil, gas and water, except if they are fractured. There are examples of them all around the world(fractured basement, reservoirs).

Slow down, geology student

princejayboss:
Ah you too get brain.... It just shows what's in the mind of the northern elite... Lol...

Maybe the physics of the north said oil will be found there .... But my own physics says ... They are running a meaningless job just to keep the owners of Nigeria happy

Before you resort to your own physics, it will be better to equip yourself with detailed information.

1. It is the objective of Oil producers to find more oil. Oil doesn't last forever
2. By default, Oil are found in basins. So Chad basin, because a credible prospects. I understand other countries who we share the basin with have started prospecting and one of them have had a successful discovery
3. Re:Owners of Nigeria. - I shy away from some discussions that I believe are not profitable

rocoh:
All they have found is Gas shows( Gas show----Gas that rises to the surface, usually detected because it reduces the density of the drilling mud. Gas detectors, which the mud logger monitors, measure combustible gases (methane, ethane, butane and others). The mud logger reports total gas, individual gas components, or both, on the mud log. In extreme cases, gas visibly bubbles out of the mud as it returns to the surface. Because the mud does not circulate to the surface for a considerable time, sometimes lagging several hours after a formation is drilled, a gas show may be representative of what happened in the wellbore hours (or many feet) prior to the ) no one has discovered oil in the Borno Basin which is our own part of the Chad Basin. Geologically two reasons are given :

1 Nigeria is far from the depocenter of Chad Basin.

2 The intrusion of the Jurassic Younger Granite has has gasified any oil that might have been available there.

Bros,

Speak English

MrPresident1:
The price of a barrel of oil is now $28, the cost of production of one barrel is about $20, there is a differential of about $8. Assuming Nigeria produces and is able to sell 2m barrels per day, we have 16million dollars per day as revenue. There are 170 million of us, which means theoretically each of us will get (16,000,000/170,000,000) = 0.094 dollars for each person.

0.094*305= N28.67 for every Nigerian/day.

This of course is very rudimentary economics, the aim nonetheless is to show the dire straits that will be driven home to Nigerians shortly.

Nigeria you have no idea what is staring you in the face!

Bros,

If economics are run like this, then we need not go beyond primary 6

Dubai isn't abt structures and new buildings,dubai is dubai bec its has successfully attracted lots of commerce(buying & selling)attracting the whole world to come to Dubai and buy and shop.
Lagos is an indebted state,it won't profit her anything to build all this structures with borrowed funds without any well layed down policy that will be able to generate funds to maintain and develop the new structures like Dubai is doing.
The way forward could be to attract other african nations to come to nigeria and buy and shop,not banning things unnecessary,simply bec it favours one tribe.

When you expect sense.......you see something else

1. Lagos despite being one of the smallest in land mass, yet has the highest population? does that not tell his of the capacity of Lagos to attract people from all works of life?
2. As at the last count, when the whole country was broke, and could hardly pay salaries, Lagos, despite her supossedly huge debt is the only one that needed no bail-out. Or you've not heard that Lagos is the only state that can self-sustain without Oil rent collection from FG
3. I knew you were just a disgruntled bigot. But ask yourself (that's if you've ever been to Lagos) that despite all this tribal-clamour from you and your likes, have Lagos slowed down in development?

Good development for the city of logos and Nigeria. But emphasis should not always be on the island. For me the island is over rated. Yaba axis is an untapped mine that if redevelopment with respect to vertical development comes in. The place can rival the island for commercial space and high end residential. Not forgetting it's ability to link to different parts of lagos.

Amode has recently lauched Ikeji, Ikoyi and Apapa City redevelopment plan.

This statement is false. The Lagos State is a strategic partner and owner of the project.

The Eko Atlantic City project received global recognition in 2009, as the Lagos State government and its private sector partners on the Project, South Energyx, received the Clinton Global Initiative Commitment Certificate............ wikipedia

The project is privately funded by South Energyx Nigeria Limited – the developers and city planners, a subsidiary of the Nigeria-based Chagoury Group of companies – working in strategic partnership with the Lagos State Government and supported by the Nigerian federal government..........http://www.ekoatlantic.com/about-us/

It's called creating an enabling environment for such projects to thrive.
Doofus grin

And this was Tinubu's doing right?? Y'all need ya brain checked

My lady,

Like it or not it was Tinubu's doing. It was the foundation laid by Tinubu. Lagos Bar Beach, had so encroached into Ahmadu Bello way, cutting a dual carriage way into half, due to Ocean surge. When Tinubu started works thru a South African consortium then, the OBJ FG, stopped him initially. Ogunlewe, who was the minister of works, decieved OBJ and accussed Tinubu of seeding our bothers to foreigners. The FG called Julius Berger and sand-filled the whole of Bar-Beach(a wrong approach). Over 4billion naira was spent on that project. In less than 15 months the whole sand-filling effort was rubbished by the ocean again. When OBJ realised he was decieved, he directed that FG should hand over the project back to Lagos State government. Tinubu even extracted a promise from OBJ, that the project will not be hijacked or subverted by the FG in the future, to which OBJ obliged.

Tinubu now took over the project, called in the SA engineering firm, who successfully arrested the ocean surge and "diverted" the water further down Ibeju Lekki. Tinubu had come up with a proposal of a new city on the reclaimed beach. To ascert their prediction, the South African consortium offered to build a Five-star hotel on the claimed land.....

Fashola came in and continue where Tinubu stopped.......... see a story of the details below

Lagos Blames Ogunlewe for Bar Beach Surge

For allegedly sitting on a presidential directive to hand over the bar beach to Lagos State, Minister of Works, Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe, was yesterday blamed by the Tinubu Administration for the recurrent ocean surge on Victoria Island.
By Shaka Momodu, 05.05.2005

The heavy down pour in the metropolis on Tuesday created a massive flood in Victoria Island. The ocean surge pushed the sand barrier onto the road effectively cutting off one lane of Ahmadu Bello way. Motorists were forced to use only one lane of the dual carriage way causing massive traffic on Wednesday morning.
Consequently, Lagos State sent an urgent message to President Olusegun Obasanjo to take direct control of the matter by implementing the directive he issued in July last year to pave way for the investor to start work on the project.
Citing a directive issued by the President to the minister on July 12, 2004, asking the minister to come to a formal agreement or arrangement to hand over the bar beach to the state government, Lagos said Ogunlewe has deliberately frustrated the execution of this directive because of his political ambition.
Lagos spoke through a delegation of the state commissioners including Dele Alake (Information & Strategy), Rauf Aregbesola (Works & Infrastructure), Akeem Gbajabiamila (Physical Planning) and Managing Director of Lagos State Waterfront and Tourism Corporation, Engr. Segun Oniru.
The state government said the annual ritual of pouring sand into the ocean and wasting lots of taxpayer’s money preferred by the minister will not lead to a permanent solution to the problem.
It said the step taken by the state government is in line with the policy of Federal Government of attracting foreign direct investment as Messers Energy BV International will rehabilitate the bar beach at no cost to the state or federal government.
Explaining the origin of the problem, Aregbesola said it was due to man-made incursion into the beach between 1908 and 1912 to provide a deep berth for vessels seeking to enter the Lagos harbour. This, he said, led to the building of the east and west moles.
Gbajabiamila, in a statement read at a press conference, said the investors have found a solution to the problem, saying “the problem will be solved by the construction of a two kilometer long permeable groynes east of the east mole plus a managed beach replenishment programme.”
Noting that Lagos State government initially reached an agreement with another firm, Entech, which required $100 million funding and entailed counterparts funding by the state and federal governments, Gbajabiamila said the failure of the initial deal led the state government to search for other interested consultants and that the search produced the new consultant.
He said the new consultant/investor is ready to mobilize funds independently for the project on the condition that Federal Government provides gurantee that no federal agency would disturb the project once it takes off. It was the need to secure this understanding that made the state Governor, Bola Almed Tinubu, wrote the President on July 7, 2004 asking for the endorsement of the project.
In his remarks, Information and Strategy Commissioner, said the directive issued to Ogunlewe by the President shows that Obasanjo has swung his support for the project and was determined to facilitate the take-off of the project..
Alake said Ogunlewe is worried that the implementation of the Lagos State initiative would put an end to the recurrent ocean waves and thus cease to provide a yearly opportunity for easy money for the boys.
Earlier in the morning, a powerful delegation of the state Executive Council, led by the Deputy Governor, Chief Femi Pedro had visited the scene of the flooded Bar Beach area caused by a tidal wave on Monday morning.[/b]

For me what counted here is a continuity of qualitative leadership.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch

They are hatched already

This is why the average intelligence on NL is below average

Fawklicant:
Typical banter of an uninformed person. Where in my comments did I refer to handcuffs? Tafa's case that I mentioned you still havent answered if the fg was justified in manhdling him the way they did or you are deliberately blind to that while trying to save face by poating pictures of westerners in hdcuffs.

Why is the fg refusing to have an open trial on Dasuki but is quick to run to the media with mischievious allegations aimed at denigrating his image? Why won't they try him openly and let us all know how the yams were shared and consider if punishments meted out to the guilty parties are at variance with the provisions of the law?
Hypocrisy!

Tinubu, Fashola, Amaechi, Aregberascal, Audu Ogbeh, Atiku, Obasanjo, Rochas, just to mention a few were part of the opposition that brought about the change in power. Don't a lot of these men have indictments and civil and criminal cases against them and what was it you said about moral compass again and looting of treasury?

My fri3nd separate sentiments from constitutionality and legality. You personal conviction is just that...personal. It has little bearing on what is the law. Are these men accused regardless of party affiliations being given a fair opportunity at proving their innocence as they claim? No!

I unlike you, will not pronounce them guilty until they have been fairly tried. I do not have any affiliation with any of them, neither do I trust anybody but God. Go back and read my very first comment on this thread and compare with all the balderash you have been spewing here. This will be my last response to you, it is pointless engaging your type as your sense of fair reasoning takes flight in deferrence to emotions. To each his own. Shallom brother!

1. You sure said a lot here but hardly making sense. You're just struggling at what's dead on arrival.

2. On Tafa Balogun, how then was he manhandled? Is there any other thing in the public domain that you only know? I thought you will be more concerned with the substance that the chaff you're throwing up. I ask again, did the court find Tafa innocent? Wasn't Tafa jailed at the end of the day for illicitly enriching himself? What manhandling are you then talking about? I said it earlier on, your sense of morals is nonexistent.

3. Why is the not trying Dasuki in the open? Typical lame duck question. Dasuki's case bothers on security and FG reserves the right to assess the situation and check the security implications, if it deems if unsafe to try him in the open....for instance, the FG has stated that all prosecution witnesses will have to put on mask to protect their identity. But what's not surprising to me is that you throw some questions from a shallow Base. Is it going to make Dasuki's case any better if he's tried @
Eagle's Square? He's he going to attempt to swallow all the previous statements he's made like Metuh?

4. Cheap referring to Tinubu, Amechi, Fashola and Co. If any of you have any evidence against them why are you not in court? Why are you crying out to the same media you accused of undue influence? Tell you pseudo (and wanna be )opposition , to at least muster all forces and Sue a Fashola. Tinubu was takenot to ICPC and the case was thrown out. Test your mettle in court.

5. Sentiments? Call.it what you like, but the burden of proof are on these men to show that they are innocent. A situation where those that shared in Dasuki's largesse are confessing; some returning Dasuki doled out to them......or is it Metuh that gave a statement and tore inot attempt to consume it. Or his claim of a special assignment for Jonathan cost 400m+, yet the nature and details of that assignment is yet to be revealed.
