SLAP44:
Tinubu is a genius

That's why over 600 Dangote trucks and all ekene dili chukwu trucks and buses continue to supply us with thousands of Nigerians who are coming to pay Tinubu and swell our IGR

We will continue to open our borders and keep them in Lagos forever.

If we tell then we want them they wouldnt come.

Wiseandtrue:
Tame the lion or the criminals killing, destroying and claiming lives

E be like say your brain need resetting

IGP no fit tame fulani herdsmen.

Talk about this lion first, what is its mission?

Im wonderimg if Igbos are proud of their lion walk or if its an embarassment.

The governors have vowed not to depart from the IGP endorsed community policing.

Looks like IGP is going to tame this lion las las.

Look at this ranking....the Oil power is debunked!

Oil River Protectorate has been displaced. Even desert encroached states are leading in revenue generation.

SLAP44:
We are not decongesting anything. Lagos is where we have our ports and we must stay there and trade. I am urging all my northern brothers to leave the north and relocate to Lagos where we will continue to raise the IGR.

One Nigeria!

Thats what Tinubu wants, all converge in one spot where he can control our collective destiny as the Nigerian godfather!

The headmaster said that he would invite Onyeama to meet him in order to apologise in person and "to make it clear that he will always be welcome at Eton".

"We must all speak out and commit to doing better - permanently - and I am determined that we seize this moment as a catalyst for real and sustained change for the better," he added.

What does Onyeama say?
Onyeama told the BBC that the apology was not necessary and did not change his view of Eton, which on the whole was positive

This response is epic!
I love it!

It should take more than the Headmaster to give him an apology.

Na God go save Ibo for this country, wallahi!

I don laugh tire for this news!

Pastor want palliatives. Eba and egusi for Pastor Chukuodiri.

May her soul rest in peace!

Someone has been promising to marry or be with her for intimacy and support but kept breaking the promise.

Read the last two sections of her last facebook post....it says it all!

[quote author= post=90986587]ECN began making preliminary plans for a transmission network to link the power generating sites from Lagos with other commercial centers, in 1961, ECN completed a 132 KV transmission line linking Lagos to Ibadan via Shagamu, in 1965, this line was extended to Oshogbo, Benin and Ughelli to form the Western System.
In 1962, a statutory organization, the Niger Dams Authority (NDA) was formed to build and maintain dams along River Niger and Kaduna River, NDA went on to commission a 320MW hydro power plant at Kainji.[/quote]Post source when you are writing please. Your words are no longer good on their own.

oyatz:
Beyond tribal issues, there's one thing I notice from this story and similar stories which I think we should be discussing;

Most Nigerians who studied in
the best British or American Schools don't necessarily become the most successful Nigerians in their chosen career or in life generally.
They seems not necessarily more successful than Nigerians who schooled at Government College, Umuahia or Ilesha Grammar School.

Does anyone has explanations for this observation?

There is a historical perspective to it. Good point! Open new thread and tag me lets talk about it.

sageb:
maybe you don't know me. Check my first post, someone said ojukwu is the first Nigerian to attend oxford University so i had to show him that someone have been there before Ojukwu. When the guy show me that a woman have attended oxford before Udo udoma. Did i argue? I am objective about the issue because I am from the Niger Delta and I am not interested in your tribal superiorty fight between yoruba and igbo. Cheers

I apologize bro. That was my fault thinking you are one of these embellishers looking for un-earned grace.

Maxymilliano:
What will now be the fate of the reappointed aides when the deputy governor get impeached ?

They are personal aides....not govt appointed aides. Cant you see? Or you dont know difference between govt and personal?

sageb:
wow! Then she attended oxford before Udo Udoma. However, Udo Udoma was the first Nigerian to have a Phd in law from Oxford university in 1945.

You guys will start some shyyte competition and before you have done thorough investigation to make sure the ground you stand on is firm.

Then when the rug is yanked from underneath your feet you begin to find other things to break your fall.

So now that you admit Udo Udoma was not the first student you go pull something else out. Now if that is debunked you will return with some more shyyte.

Why cant you all just relax and stop embarassing your accomplished local citizens on the national or continental scale?

Throwback:
I have edited this post you responded to since indeed Dilibe Onyeama was the one that concluded his studies there.

Besides you were trying to correct my factual submission that Tokunbo Akintola was the 1st Black student ever enrolled.

Even at that, the first black student ever finished from Eton was the son of HaileSelassie in Ethiopia.

Unless we say Ethiopians are whites, then we can disqualify the Prince.

Throwback:
Not so fast clansman.



https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-53062502

The first Black student at Eton college was Tokunbo Akintola in April 1964, son of SLA Akintola the then Premier of Western Nigeria.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQPm0iDhTUM

The First Black student at Oxford University was a Creole from Siera Leone, Christian Cole in 1873.

The first Nigerian to attend Oxford was the first Black woman to attend the School and graduate in 1935, Kofoworola Ademola (nee Moore), the daughter of Eric Olawolu Moore and later wife of Sir Adetokunbo Ademola, the first Nigerian Chief Justice of the Supreme court.

So how does an Ojukwu that graduated from Oxford in 1955, become the first Black/African at Oxford?

This must be IPOB Bureau of Statistics as usual.

I endorse this message.

This man has saved more lives than he could ever think of especially our University folks.

Clt C ==> Clt V

True talk!

I was in middle of document transfer few years ago using GUI copy and paste but then mouse button quit.

It was ^C and ^V that saved the day.

Ive told you several times, you are fabricator of deception.

You will loose credibility if you continue to embellish genuine accomplishments with fantastic wishes and end up humiliating the subjects you are supposed to celebrate.

On his own, in 1962, that was a good achievement. That should be celebrated. Attaching lies to his position not only discredit you but it also takes away and diminishes his credentials.

No where in the newspaper report is it said that the man planned or originated national grid. Heading a planning dept doea not equate to designing a national grid that was already in place and working efficiently.

Read the attached. It shows that the national grid was complete and in operation before Mr Onyemelukwe.

If NNPC hires someone today and give them position of Design and Planning for Downstream, should a post be made 60yrs from now and call that person the designer of Nigerian refineries?

Im begiining to doubt you are Ibo....given the way you embarass their sons and bring them here to be openly ridiculed with every post. You speak Ibo but Im not sure Ibo blood runs in you. Same way Hausas and Fulani on facebook and Arewa blog are not able to detect Im Yoruba in our interaction online.

[quote author= post=90984208]I know it's hard for you to swallow, Onyemelukwe initiated the planning and development of the electricity grid still used in Nigeria today when he became Chief Electrical Engineer in 1962.[/quote]Please bring official document to make me a believer.

Best lawyer in Ibo remains Nwabueze....but we know what he is famous for. He wrote the decree that displaced regional government and centralized national government.

IDENNAA:
I really dont think Yoruba has the best of these profession...You may have
more lawyers but you dont have the best , neither do you havr the best technocrats or or doctors.

Best is not by mouth.

List your most acclaimed lawyers, let us list ours.

Abi your best lawyers no get names?

[quote author= post=90981055]Clement Onyemelukwe was recruited in 1962 from the Central Electricity Generation Board of UK where he was the Deputy Head of Planning[/quote]His credential as Head of Planning should not be confused with originator of grid design as your opening claimed.

The grid had been in existence before Mr Onyemelukwe had finished his studies.

JOHNSONSOLAFUNMI:
No, I don’t think Gani have been beneficial to yoruba course... we see how kanu drags this government, exposing their lies, deceit and corruption, some years ago, when nigerians think he was lying, what has Gani been doing, I’m not campaigning for anyone, I’m just a realist and by the way, is it morally right to attack someone that served you for years?

Yeah, In Biafra you like to drag government. We do not do that in Yorubaland. We focus on our progress. Gani has focused on Yoruba progress a long time.

May his soul rest in peace!


Before this go any further let it be on record that the deceased did not design any grid nor gave any major design success to National Electricity.

We dont to do a mythbust in future so its necessary to counter the lies now before it catches on.


Here is official history of electricity in Nigeria.

JOHNSONSOLAFUNMI:
1) You haven’t been attacked before

2) He said this because the attack comes from someone he served for 17 years diligently

Why is it many people are not able to see the obvious like the way it is visible to me?

Why do you think this guy came out to promote himself the underdog?

Gani is a villain! Now we must acquire a hero.

....

Is lion walk going to get a law, or he is just going to roam around lawless?

You cannot be in OPC 21yrs and not have several assassination attempts, either from rivals, from Army or from police. So what is one attempt out of many? No noise abeg!

Na God save that little boy in red shorts. Thats South South!

If he had not leaned to the side just in time....or if he had leaned the other side...his neckbone would snap under Biafran fall, no doubt about it.

The expressions stated here are only symbolic. Do not laugh!

Charge:


What exactly is the reason for Fela's Fame?


How can we keep making such idiots popular and then expect respect from white countries.

When Jayz speaks America listens. Jayz was a drug mule.

Snoopdoggy is a respected American, he is a drug head.

Elvis is a god in America, he died of drug overdose.

Bobby Brown was a hit maker, so was his wife Whitney, both were addicts.

Dr Dre, in addition to music, also deals in products marketing. He was Suge Knights partner, they were drug dealers.

How many i go list? Abi na Master P you want talk about....how about Lil John, Yin-Yang twins.......


Your issue is not with Fela or Nairamarley. You are using them to market your bigotry. Talk true...

Obaseki subordinates himself to Tinubu in this picture.

Ambode refused to bow, left with his head held high and his back in upright position.

Pictures dont lie.

Obaseki went to see Tinubu.

May her soul rest in peace!
