Which of the lagos?
Lago's has no oil bro
Get out Afonja has no oil,
ijaw land and edo land ceded to ondo to make lit look like Afonja has oil,
Lago's has no drop of oil but propaganda,
Ibos of delta, rivers ,Abia, Imo Anambra has crude and gas reserved,
The highest oIL producing oil block in rivers is located in igbo zone (obigbo)
So get lost
Afonja land is barren land
Lagos has no oil ,no oil infrastructure no gas flaring, just propaganda and lies

Barren indeed. But something tells me you have built your pallacial abode in Lagos and plan to construct even more mega structures...

The only barren land is one that all its people have flocked from, not flocked to my broda.

That abroad. Record label over there don’t try milking out all money from his artist. Not like Nigeria where dey would give you 20% and take 80%. Money dey work bamboo dey chop.

Why not? When before you were a star you were making 0%?

Record companies pay for everything the artists needs to be a success. The artist only contribution is there voice which could be a hit or miss with the public.

Before a record company produces one star, they will have blown their resources on countless upcomimg stars.

So yh, they deserve every penny of that 80% Business is a gamble, when they lose, they lose alone and if they should win, it should be them that truly gain.

What is that old building in the background?? The old school?

Please why are you guys culling bush dwelling animals again??

Insurance is the gambling industrys biggest secret! Why are they complaining? Collecting free money isnt a business.

Tinubu can never be poor.
Check it.
He is a pensioner receiving millions of naira every month after looting Lagos state as governor for 8 years.
He and his family are entitle to free medical at Lagos state expenses.
He has companies who get contract running into billions of naira from Lagos state government.e.g,alpha beta,hitec,lcc,etc.
He has radio and TV stations.
He has hotels at high brow areas of Lagos.Apart from oriental hotel,he has other hotels at gra,ikeja.
He has godchildren in lagos, southwest and federal politics who are senators,reps,commissioners, and ,ministers who give returns.
His wife and children are senators.
His eldest daughter is Omo nile,chairlady,in the entire market of Lagos.
This is a man who fought military dictatorship who now turns out to be a civilian dictator by using thugs to snatch ballot boxes and intimidate voters during elections so that his continue milking of the wealth of the people will sustain.

Do you know all those things you mentioned are tied to the health of the economy?

In other words, the liquidity of his hotels means people within the country have money to patronise the services.

The measure of the economy is a meaure of Tinubus wealth since they are both so intricately entangled. If Tinubu is not careful, his empire will implode under the weight of deficit spending and inflation.

Business success is not measured by assortment of different products youre offering, but by the speed youre able to turn over liquid cash. This is why new companies are able to penetrate markets faster than older ones, because they focus only on turning over, while older legacy ones focus on maintaining bureacracy and staff retention.

The mind of a greesy kleptocrat is focused on how to spread his companys portfolio to include everything under the sun, overlooking costs and maintenance.

Sudan was a major centre of African civilization in antiquity.

When Europe was a wasteland of barbarism and cave-dwelling illiteracy, Sudan (ancient Nubia) was giving the world mighty temples and pyramids built according to the highest mathematical and geometric principles and standards.

Incidentally I was watching an American TV news show the other day in which the host, Joe Scarborough, was telling his viewers that ''Arabs invented mathematics''.

A claim profoundly false and misleading, since the pyramids of Sudan - all 223 of them, were built thousands of years before the birth of Muhammed, the founder of Islam.

(Egypt's pyramids and temples of course are another example of ancient black African mathematics that preceded by thousands of years all European and Arab civilizations, but this thread is about Sudan)

Excerpt:

''Nubian pyramids are pyramids that were built by the rulers of the ancient Kushite kingdoms. The area of the Nile valley known as Nubia, which lies [in] present day Sudan, was home to three Kushite kingdoms during antiquity. The first had its capital at Kerma (2500–1500 BC). The second was centered on Napata (1000–300 BC). Finally, the last kingdom was centered on Meroë (300 BC–AD 300). They are built of granite and sandstone. The pyramids were partially demolished by [surprise surprise] Italian combat medic turned explorer and treasure hunter Giuseppe Ferlini in the 1830s''

THE WORDS OF LADY LUGARD, Historian wife of Lord Lugard, Ist British Governor-General of Nigeria:


"When the history of Negroland comes to be written in detail, it may be found that the kingdoms lying towards the eastern end of Sudan (classical home of Ancient Africans) were the home of races who inspired, rather than of races who received, the tradition of civilization associated for us with the name of ancient Egypt.

For they cover on either side of the Upper Nile between the latitudes of ten degrees and seventeen degrees, territories in which are found monuments more ancient than the oldest Egyptian monuments. If this should prove to be the case and civilized world be forced to recognize in a black people the fount of its original enlightenment, it may happen that we shall have to revise entirely our view of the black races, and regard those who now exist as the decadent representatives of an almost forgotten era, rather than as the embryonic possibility of an era yet to come."

"The fame of the ancient Ethiopians (ancient Kushites) was widespread in ancient history. Herodotus described them as the most beautiful and long-lived of the human races, and before Herodotus, Homer, in even more flattering language, described them as the most just of men, the favourites of the gods. The annals of all the great early nations of Asia Minor are full of them. The Mosaic records allude to them frequently; but while they are described as the most powerful, the most just, and the most beautiful of the human race, they are constantly spoken of as Black, and there seems to be no other conclusion to be drawn than at that remote period of history, the leading race of the Western World was a Black race."

Go worship them then! What are you waiting for?

Arabs didnt invent maths, they invented modern maths, and that was what the scholar was alluding to.

Maths can be as basic as counting the number of fingers or children one has to calculus calculations and beyond. Are you saying Arabs claim to have invented children counting?

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16


Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6


Drop your knowledge/Sense Sir...

The Human Sense cannot comprehend the things of GOD...

You have to Drop your knowledge to Follow JESUS.....

It's Foolishness to Argue with your Owner!

Peace!

I pray For u that Your Eyes and Understanding be opened before it's too late...

Simply Amend your ways, Repent and Accept JESUS CHRIST..

Way too many farcical arguments here.

I really cant differentiate you from a common hindu pegan, both of you senselessly worship idols and both believe your gods are above reason. How then do you know your comprehension is right? What guidelines do you have for faith when you claim human sense cannot comprehend...

We can comprehend gravity, molecules and mechanics but cant comprehend our maker Are you on drugs?

So your god (ego) wants us to blindly worship him, but to his creation be attentive and devote time to learning the facets of atoms and time? Surely, His rememberance should be of a science that keeps us far more occupied. The science or study of God should enthrall even the feeblest of minds.

The pegan knows he cant defend his beliefs and says we shouldnt question the gods, you sound like that to me.

OOO MY DEAR Helen,

Youre not alone, I just hope the hundreds of other chidlren born from rape in Nigerias polity find their way too.

Unlike you, theyre not qualified, and definitely not suitable candidates to be leading the masses, but will be forcing young aspiring graduates to pass through NYSC in waste lands with little or no shelter.

alBHAGDADI:
John 3:18 King James Version (KJV)
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

John 2:18 The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”

19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”


The jews requested proof, Jesus didnt say to them "Simply believe" like what youre proffering here, he promised to make cleaer the evidence for his claim by doing the impossible!

What are your proofs that we should simply believe, I ask again.

Is that a mop or a wig or both. With the way shes looking she should settle for mediocre, anything more and she might end up fornicating...

Righteousness89:
Am not GOD Sir....

What u know is Limited
The knowledge you feel u have is Limited...

Simply Believe in JESUS CHRIST..Confess your Sins to HIM..... Accept Him as your Only LORD and SAVIOR....

Dts all you need to Have Eternal Life.......

Any other is a Waste of Living

Where in your bible does it tell you to simply believe in Jesus Christ? Do you not have any proof for your claim? Not even an ounce?

Waste of living is worshipping like a pegan.

booblacain:
Wise man, please explain how Buhari is complicit.

I agree that Buhari is complicit. Buhari's ministry appointments are very lopsided and ethnocentric. Buhari is very partisan in his approach to dealing with critical national issues. Many times he has been caught being silent on killings in parts of the country that are predominantly christian.

A stauch Muslim is a fair Muslim, and his fairness should precede him like it did the magnanimous men before him. Rather what precedes him is bigotry and fanatical love for his tribe, that will only generate hatred and contempt in the East where he ranks bottom in the scale of preference.

Buhari employs old legacy technocrats to positions that require agility and youthful radiance. His transparency is abysmal. Our only gain from him is his military discipline, but he does not evoke much needed social change through charisma and justice.

Righteousness89:
There is Nothing to Debate About...

Simply Believe JESUS CHRIST and HIS WORD ! That's all

It's Foolishness to Debate GOD'S WORD

Huhhh, you novice!! Even God Debates with the foolish disbeliever, isnt that why, in the hereafter, He will Proclaim the truth was made clear How was truth made clear to those destined eternally to hell, not in His Books? Gods' Books are His debates, when reading them, one should feel God is speaking to him directly. I know the bible doesnt offer that luxury because most of it is human fabrication and folly, but the Quran does!

One feels that God is putting His evidences on display for you to think intimately about, to reason and accept faith.

You dont know shiiiiiiiiiit! Now shove your face back into the dirt! All you idiots know is how to collect money from the ignorant and gullible.

How dare you buffoon tell me God doesnt do debates! You idiot, christians have been debating Muslims for thousands of years and they knew far more than what you ignoramus know.

This tithing is sounding lot less like expiation and more like European form of taxation.

Righteousness89:
People of GOD, Guard your Salvation with all you have!

Eternity is not a Joke!

Faith based on truth or on conjecture and lies?

It is almost getting to that stage when we will start lynching anything and anyone in armed forces uniform.... RIP girl

Nigeria needs systemic change. The youth must change also. WE must stop supporting criminals from within our ranks, stop Yahoo boys, stop prostituting ourselves on social media in the name of clout! Our disorderliness is giving the elite reason to continue with punitive policing. If you are young and you benefitted from any form of oppression whether it be inland or foreign, then your storm is comming like it came for this girl.

The way we die always sheds light on the way we lived. God is always mindfull of our affairs, but most of us have forgotten.

Dont you know victims of fraud too have arms to reach out towards the heavens to beseech the Almighty to deal categorically with their aggressors?

STOP FRAUDING PEOPLE, NO ONE BE MUMU! It will come back to haunt you.

So tell me how investors living abroad will come and invest here. Na this kind news de make younger siblings living abroad don't want to come back. Buharia is a Scam

Whaat! Parasitic Investors like Shell and Chinese exploration companies love this sort of environment, where they can practice and get away with heavy forms of autocracy and exploitation. Only creative companies like Apple Inc will be thwarted from serious investments as their commodity is people, young people.

Young Nigerians dont seem to understand the conflict between civilian and security forces has a very strong class and ageist under current. A rich old man can drive anytime during the day without the slightest harrassment or provocation.

The moment a poor young Nigerian with a haggard car drives or walks after 8, he or she should expect intimidation.

This is why the youth feel they must hammer; in order to be equal in human treatment with the elite. But they often forget, that along with money they need age on their side or wealthy parents, otherwise their wealth will only attract suspicion.

HQ of Protracted Poverty and Disconnect between youth and responsibilities.

Buhari doesnt remember how impactful his youth days were...

..Ageist spotted.

Im sure he will be blaming the youth for the plethora of problems Nigeria is facing while forgetting his decrepit old age is the number 1 problem!

Whatever happened to honorable retirement? Where are his royal regalia?

Nigerias ministries are brimming with men like this.

Who do you think this old fool will assign duties of the state? A young agile mind or a classmate?

There is a major disconnect between Nigeria and the feeble people running it.


Can you imagine the horrah if Buhari selected a young technocrat to replace him?

Wait o, was he not one of those complaining that the government are not creating enough jobs? Protesting up and down the nation like a patient who eagerly needs anesthesia?

This is why our generation is so doomed, we created it.

The last time I checked, the last thing we need in Nigeria is a rapist youth to replace Buharis ageist ministers...

Nigeria is not dangerous, the people are.

Nigerians blame SARS, but forget that SARS are a product of their misadventures in Nigeria and other countries.

A 60 yr old man will be blaming Politicians for his poverty, yet is sexually harrassing 10 yr old girls and boys.

Parents complain of sexual violence, yet promote the likes of Toto Dikeh in their homes, exposing them to the desensitized film industry where coerced advances and innuendos are normal.

The world is watching how our only indigenous commodity is fraud, blaming colonialism as if India and China were not once colonies.

Decrepit ageist politicians blaming the youth yet their children are neatly tucked away far from the woes of 70% of the population.

Youths blame politicians for robbing the people blind but will gladly offer services to a friend who is robbing widows and orphans in foreign lands citing slavery as his excause. Abeg, when were his parents ever enslaved? Dont remember slaves ever being repatriated to Nigeria... Yet we have the likes of Operah who never blames slavery for her failures.

Everyone in this country feel he or she is more entitled to the riches of the earth than the next person. Its reached boiling point and only now the world is reacting.

Nigerians will cause untold suffering to the citizens of the world if left unchecked! We are rapacious, immoral and blood thirsty.

Most of those advocating for subsidy removal are brainless GEJ sycophants from the east. Which economy will foot the bill when gov cancels subsidies? Our dwindling cacophony? Do these facking idiots not realise that other than fuel, every other commodity will adversely increase in cost?

You guys need to give it a break...Your plot is way too obvious.

With high crime rate, can Nigeria afford even 1 naira increase? Do you facking idiots, selfish traitors want people to starve to death??

The gov has to continue paying fuel subsidies even if 1 naira remains in the bank.

Political thugs.

Why do people love deceiving themselves?

The people who partook in your kidnapping are jubilating along with you in that classroom! If it were your corpse that was discovered along the road side with intestines removed, they too will be mourning your early demise.

Evil people are never far from you.

Tedpgrass:
I don't disagree with your current submission but still stand with mine.
As it takes 2 to tango.. Despite shortcomings from our leaders, there are a few select men and women who stand firm and tall and can be counted. They are all not necessarily privileged but have risen despite opposition. Why can't we learn from these ones whilst trying to sort the system out.


Yes, the system has not enabled or developed a lot of youths. The ongoing rot will make the problem worse.

But there has to be some youths who dare to be the Josephs or Daniels of their generation... They show resilience in the face of great adversity, adaptability without breaking the rules, innovation and creativity. Good work ethics is their cornerstone. Sacrifice and intense focus is a very visible accessory.


But what we have largely is a generation or 2 of youths who feel very entitled and expect to have a cushioned lifestyle at the drop of a hat. Hardwork? Sacrifice? What does that mean?

I feel poverty starts with the mind.. Though there's a lack of physical things, a very focused mind seeks to find resources relentlessly. Life can be full of hardknocks and my empathy goes to those who are yet to fly off despite being on the runway for a while..

There are leadership academies dotted around.
There are mentors who aren't necessary visible and full of bling given the system and society.
There are places of learning or better still the Internet is available to all who have basic devices and some data.

But where do we find most of our youths... Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, living a blinged up existence, following BBNaija up and down.. Some can write a dissertation on the characters in those shows or on some of our musicians/actresses... But write a decent business proposal with a robust 10 paged SWOT analysis, suddenly the pen gets dry.

Other established governments may enable their youth better than ours but it is mainly and only to continue a "serfdom" of sorts.. I would not celebrate them too soon.

Our leaders have realised,..... give back robustly to society at your own detriment.. You'll be ostracised regardless of how well you perform. Mostly by armchair critics who have hardly raised their arms to work
A good example is a certain local govt in Benue state.


But give drips back and foster an atmosphere of being a benevolent helper inspite of great economic hardship and suddenly you are hailed a hero.. In addition there will be fewer cooks to spoil the broth. Half knowledge applied out of context is a very dangerous thing!!!


Government is not all to blame.. The inherent pre-existing belief or cultural identity in certain tribes has a contributory role.. This perpetrates even in other established climes as certain tribes/ peoples perform better than others because of the existing support networks and their congenial interactions with their host communities underpinned by belief system.

In a country with 365 languages and still counting, it will be a rather herculean task to align all the peoples into a mindset without a longstanding dictator... The places of religion, effective tools in the past, are no longer as effective as a growing number are reflecting the differences in opinion underpinned by the rot and greed of the system.


All we can do ..... is to let your little light shine
..... Reach out and touch somebody's hand to make the world a better place...
Continually strive to hold the powers to account, educate the people about their rights and privileges within context.


.

My friend you have not grasped the problem Nigeria is facing and it's really a shame. How these ageists beguile you into blaming men of your peers...

The problem of social media craze that has hooked our generation stems from lack of responsibilities. These ageists have allowed us to wallpw aimlessly like froth on the ocean while they extend age of retirement to 80.

Positions that should normally be filled by young agile minds are being occupied by senile ageist forces. They do not intend on ever relinquishing their position, they want to die there like a monarch. And for every one that is in such a position, a young star is dying and becoming more hopeless.

Nigeria has one of the youngest populations in the world, even younger than China, but why doesnt our polity reflect this fact?

Septuagenerian ageists would rather employ their childhood crony than a young independent youth! We scare them! They cant understand our modus operandi, are we advocates or game changers? Auditors or apologists? Will we turn a blind eye to the years of depraved plundering and cronyism or take it all away from them?

And this leads me to your point of individuals who have beat the system. Yes there will be some examples of honest men who God has graced and have become respectful contributing citizens, but the vast majority are the children of these wicked ageists who receive a free pass to all the best jobs, many without necessary credentials. The examples of the tyranny are too many to list, but recent examples includes former Gov of Ogun State Amosun who wanted to place his son in law as the new governor so he could continue looting while his escapades are prevented from surfacing.

This is the system you are here defending against a backdrop of massive youth unemployment.

Tedpgrass:
Where are the youths who will excel in these positions of excellence and not abuse their privilege or perform suboptimally

Where are the youths who have cut their teeth in the private sector successfully, learnt the ethics, attitude and hardwork necessary to excel in these positions.... On Instagram slaying up and down...

Look at the middle belt and one can observe a certain youthful leader who has not provided much governance and uplifted the people of his state.

Don't be deceived, the youth who are deserving get there.
Don't expect to be a leader if you have not served well...



.

Dont be deceived?? My friend you have been deceived!

Those you mentioned as incapable are the products of generations of rott created by our parents! Thats the simple truth. Anyone can be a criminal and anyone can be a leader! The system is fully responsible for moulding leaders.

Have you not seen the classrooms that resemble prison cells, what sort of material do you think will graduate from such institution? Was Buhari, Tinubu or whoever of that generation educated in such a vacuum?

The truly great will always be one in a million but at least the masses must enjoy a certain level of priviledge and equity.

The older generation are squarely the reason for the comatose of our systen. What have they left for us to inherit? You might be priviledged but for God sake look beyond your selfrighteousness to those who grew up lacking everything you had. Only the youth can pity the youth, just as the old pity their school days croonies.

Leaders are made not born. Those you mentioned can be rehabilitated and reeducated. Everyone needs inspiration to match their aspirations.
