Can you please name one

Dubai, Abudabi UAE, imports 80% food. Can you compare Nigeria with any of the Arab Emirates?

skedman:
Knowledge is power
The fulani contribute 5 percent to our gdp
Beef is the only product we do not import into the country yet the large population eat meat everyday
Rather than applauding such group with there sustainability in the production of meat
If you are the president of this country which group will you support
The group that import virtually all product into the country including his native cloth. He does not contribute the gdp of the country

There are countries that import almost everything they eat and are doing better .

SouthEastFacts:
Thank you for always saying the truth. It is surprising because around 2015 we knew this handle to be a terror.

MB supply more food to the South than core North. Apart from beef, Onions, cucumber, carrot, cabbage I don't know anything the North supply to us.

Tomatoes are mostly from Jos, Yam comes from Benue and supply some of the white beans we eat like the North, we produce our Garri, we don't eat Northern rice, we farm ours, all vegatables we eat are produced in the East, yorubas produce their brown beans, we produce our palm oil and we are the largest supplier to the North, just like vegetables.

I don't know where potatoes come from but I know they produce that a lot in the North. We consume a lot of groundnut, both Benue and core North supply us with that.

Benue supply cassava to the core north because their soil doesn't support it and we also supply processed garri to the North though for Southerners in the North.

We eat a lot of Egusi, we grow some while Nasarawa supply the rest while Ogbono, we import them from Cameroun and grow some.

Beloved SW give us brown beans while beautiful SS gives us cray fish. We catch and process our bush meats while we import chicken and fish.

Mekaboy, be guided. North don't feed us unless you are including MB and of course, the south supply most of the palm oil they use.

What is life without palm oil.

At least we can grow every food we need in the South but they can't grow palm oil.

Maybe I am mistaking, but the number of trucks I see bringing food from the North in the east makes me believe 80% comes from there.

Maybe majority comes from middle belt I don't know. But I 70% of local rice produced in Nigeria is done in the North.

However I think we should turn this problem into opportunity like other countries do.

We can supply grass if that's the main reason for the conflict.

80% of food we consume in the south comes from the North. Since the reason for migration of herdsmen to the South is grass, this should be a business opportunity and employment creation opportunity.

People in the south cut grass take it to a place where it is measured and they are paid by weight. Then it's preserved and transported same day to the North. By morning they have fresh grass for the cattle.

It's a win win situation.

The northern youths he failed to arrest have come for him.

Guestlander:
Jonathan whom you supported went on for four years acting as if Yorubas did not exist in Nigeria. The aviation ministry headed by Stella Odua purged the ministry of all Yoruba and people like you gloated on the internet.
A beg, leave Osinbajo alone. After all, you all said he was a mere commissioner.

Under the same Jonathan, otedola was cashing out on fuel subsidy.

I remember some people told some people to vote for someone, so that power will return to some people.

Now RUGA represents the person that will hand over power to some people. So how will the people expecting the person to hand over power reject a representation of the person?

muykem:
Are you now a judge or prosecutor? Do you think everyone acting based on emotion like you guys.

When he asked the yorubas to vote buhari to get presidency, what was he acting on? Which developed country uses such division to win elections?

I am not a judge but seems my conscience is more awake.

It's very surprising the VP Osibanjo who is supposed to be a pastor is always used to do the dirty job. Has sacrificed a lot for political a loyalty. One begins to wonder if Tinubu comes first for him before God.


1) Under his watch a Christian lady pastor was killed while preaching. He did not see to it that those involved are brought to book.

2) he was there and the same government he is part of, negotiated with terrorists to release all the Muslim chibok girls and dashed them the Christian girl. Even the Muslim corpse that was kidnapped, was recently released in borno, because of the support they got from Borneo state government.

3) His office was incharge of the spending of 800 million to clear 400,000 million worth of rice donated by China. The same rice was left to rot and over 5 billion was spent on more rice.

4) IPOB who never threatened anyone, though I don't support them was proscribed. He said the unity of Nigeria was non negotiable and that action would be taken against anyone who tried to divide. Buhari left Nigeria, and youths from the North gave Igbos living in the North deadline to leave the North. He could not order an arrest of people who made such and inflammatory statement. He rather called for peace talk while they boasted that nobody could arrest them.

5) Was sent on the trader moni vote buying during elections.

6) A pastor who should be salt and a light, during elections, was making divisive statements. Asking Yoruba people to support buhari to get presidency. What type of pastor that preaxhes the love of God, will be harbouring such ethnocentric thoughts?

7) Now incharge of the RUGA to ensure the fulani is given land by force via the federal government to enslave the rest of the country.

One begins to wonder where his allegiance is. To heaven or the earth?

In the past herdsmen knew the power they had in this country but were only interested in using such powers for their defense.

Buhari came in and they decided to take it a step further to expand their coverage and occupy more land.

While they used power to protect themselves and occupy more space, this new trend introduced is the climax.

The idea of using the guns they were licensed to use for protection to make money. They can easily multiply their cows and money. As times goes on, they will become too lazy to move cattle around When they can make 10 times that money in a short time in just 1 kidnap.

The focus today is no longer on the proceeds made from sales of their animals, but on the money made with the guns.

You don't need to serve one master for years, when you can easily become a master of your own with an AK47.

These people have started tasting money, they will eventually abandon the cattle.

For now they are investing the proceeds of kidnap in cattle, soon they will abandon the cattle business entirely.

The RUGA settlement will simply became a arms cache.

Some people say fulani women are fine. But there is no state in Nigeria where the herdsmen are that you will not hear about them raping women.

Why don't they take their women along with them?

Abacha represents corruption. You can't praise Abacha(corruption), and turn around to say you are against corruption.

Attention seeker. Blame Nigerians for your inability to secure your citizens. Do you announce when Nigerians buy property, pay tax, pay school fees etc? What is the difference between the crime Nigerians commit and the ones ghananians commit?

olajizz01:
Stop saying gibberish, tell me a country that doesn't has good telecom in the world,telecommunication was a global revolution then,but it surprises me when you people keep saying gibberish always when we asked of the duo achievement when the crude oil price was all high globally.

Besides,is mtn a state owned firm or privately owned,no good transport system, no power,all the state owned firms was sold to themselves and their cronies,you keep saying gibberish.

How many foreign investors has buhari attracted? Could not get 1 single foreign firm to take over our refinery .

The privatization of power distribution is the best thing that happened to Nigeria. How many MW has buhari added to what Jonathan left?

Buhari ruled this country before with nothing to show, and still has nothing to show now.

olajizz01:
Keep deceiving yourself, if he and his boss wasn't in power b4,I would have swallowed your cock and bull tale,but the unfortunate Atiku and his baboon boss was the one that brought this country to this sorry state.

Buhari and his boss saint
abacha nko? They fixed Nigeria?
Nigeria was better under OBJ and Atiku. MTN and the rest saw prospects in Nigeria. Today MTN is selling what is left of the investment to Nigerians, because the have made their money and are leaving Nigeria.

After Atiku finished with his boss he became second highest employer in adamawa after the state government. Employs thousands of Nigerians. What did Buhari become after abacha? Who did he employ? What did he create?

1) investors who left will be back to know the policy direction of the new government.of course, Atiku and obi business men will speak the language of investors.

2) the other side of corruption in this administration would have been exposed.

3) other African countries will respect Nigeria as a new sheriff is in town.

4) there would be reshuffling in the military, and those benefiting from insecurity will have to step aside .

5) More job opportunities. Those who have benefited from corruption would be shown where to invest as amnesty and create employment. Major sectors like oil etc would be opened up to private sector. As at today, investors don't know the direction the country is going. While tinubu wants to sell his hotel, otedola has sold his shares in forte oil. They know this country went in reverse in the last 4 years and the next 4 years is not promising.

Otedola like all other investors have withdrawn his money to understand the direction of the economy.

That tunde with his rubbish blog, seeking to be relevant by as licking celebs. The only reason people view and comment on his boring page is the give away. The girl is right.

Please justwise and the gurus here, can a single person earning 120k a month and spending 40k out of it get UK visa .

I was going to apply earlier stating a make over 300k monthly from business including rent from property. Though my transaction and import supports documents support my claim. However when I went to the state tax office for tax clearance, I discovered I will have to pay 330k * 4 years ( over 1.2m ) for 4 years tax clearance. The minimum tax clearance that can be given is 150k which will show I make about 80k monthly. So I am thinking of reducing my monthly income to 120k so I can pay a little above 150k for clearance. That will amount to about 1.4m a year.

Though I currently have about 2m in business account and 1m in personal account. I budget 600k for the 5 days trip.

I think it's better I reduce my monthly earning and pay a matching tax, than leave it at 300k and pay less tax.

Second option I am considering is using tax receipt for 2019 instead of 4 years tax clearance.

I was in dubai in last year.

Please guys advice.

Will he listen?

How much is fuel that would be used in the roads during PDP and Buhari?

How many megawats of electricity did he add?

How many roads are completed?

Charles. Stop hiding under a fake monica to praise useless umeh. Has he contested any position before? How do you measure popularity? Ekwunife won him before and he used the back door through the got to go and do one year youth service in the Senate. She won him by vote and he went and said she was not elected in her party through the right process.

She won him the second time by vote. The woman has strong grassroots and is very influential.

Umeh thinks he can win peoples heart by going for burial.

Nyamuriflathead:
Who are you? Abiolas mouthpiece? I Guess Oga Jonathan fought for a private sector driven economy and never got the endorsement of yorubas and the abiola family. Honor is given to whom it is due. Buhari did the right thing...

This thread will be here for both of us. Let's be going.

Prompto:
I wonder what any sane human will gain arguing with bigoted lunatics. APC as shown n proven it will condemn PDP to hellfire no matter how sorrowfully you n your entire household wail till death.

Are you wishing your family death this year? So be it.

Nyamuriflathead:
You can wail from now till tomorrow. Good thing is, buhari is the only president who deemed June 12 fit for national remembrance and Honour. Those who couldnt have done worse to abiola(obassanjo and Jonathan) never even conceived such ideas in their hearts. Even if buhari would have done worse to abiola which is mere assumption, history now has it that he alone Honoured abiola by giving him a posthumous award. And this is a win for reality over your evilbased assumptions. He brought smile to the faces of abiolas family, the yoruba people, all Nigerians whose souls were lost to the cause and those alive. He has repaired more than he could have destroyed like you falsely presume.

The only way he can truly put a smile on the faces of the people that supported abiola is to implement what abiola stood for. Abiola was not fighting for public holiday, he was fighting for a private sector driven Nigeria.

rusher14:
Wailing seems to have become a permanent fixture for some.

This is the defense of shallow minded people who are incapable of engaging in productive discussions.

Watching Abiola's speech and his ideology, you can see that what he stood for is total opposite of what Buhari stands for.

While abiola stood for a private sector driven Nigeria, Buhari stands for a cabal driven Nigeria.

While Abiola believes in transparency in NNPC, Buhari believes in being the head and maintaining secrecy in its administration.

Abiola was driving towards restructuring and provision of a level playing ground for all to make the nation thrive.

This is the message the North hates. And Buhari would have done what IBB did to Abiola.

But as they say, history will always repeat itself. Someday in future, a southerner will want to become president. It would have been clear by then that this current system has failed completely. The only message that will appeal to the South is the type that Abiola preached. So will the North accept such a message or repeat the Abiola scenario.

The only Northerner who will accept such a message is one who engages in business. MKO was a business man and understood the importance of the private sector. His focus was more on growth of the economy rather than religion, ethnicity or power. That is the mindset of a business man.

Atikus message just like that of MKO was more acceptable in the South than the North. While those in the south were eager for a government that will open up all areas for the private sector to grow, those in the North wanted a government that will continue to appoint them to feed from government and not challenge them to work.

So those waiting for power to return to the South in 2023, what will be the message? Will you promise a private sector driven Nigeria like MKO and ATIKU, or will promise a cabal driven Nigeria which will further destroy Nigeria to please the North?

kingzizzy:
I find it funny that the legislooters have gathered in Abuja to start another 4 years of sitting around doing nothing while pocketing hundreds of millions of Naira a year and the only thing some people care about is what zone produced the Senate president and deputy Senate president

It's funny that the poverty capital of the world is running one of the most expensive National Assembly in the world.

arewafederation:
Wailing continua....

Arewa federation with the highest number of poor and out of school children. Continue.

For all those fighting each other over who becomes what in the Senate, it's senseless. You are fighting online for people to go and eat money while the average Nigerian gets power. While the opportunities and chances of success in the nation becomes slimmer.

After fighting online You go and soak garri and salt, face insecurity, bad roads and unemployment.

Continue to fight and brag while they squander the limited resources remaining.

They say " during elections they are seen with thugs and not family, during inauguration they are seen with family and not thugs".

Continue deceiving yourselves online. If you like, don't go and buy fuel for gen.
