BankoleNco:
I affirm[b] he was spot on about the anti-Christ[/b] and his off spings ( BH, Al-qeda, hezbollah, etc). All they do is kill and destroy.

. . . . .and to think that the man also died in the year 666 AD

victorazy:
Eye witness not a lie.

Victorazy, you have been known right from time to be a Fraudster. Just one more word from you and I will expose you here.

@topic, yea he did predict the coming of the anti christ. He also said the devil cometh not but to . . . . kill and destroy.

Wunmi10:
Did she get it?

She actually hasn't applied yet. Looking to apply sometime in April. Had to open this thread earlier so as to know what is needed.

Prof Bart Nnaji, the Minister of Power, said on Friday that power supply in the country would reach above 9,000mw by December if all challenges confronting gas supply were resolved.

Nnaji made the statement in Abuja at a one-day meeting between the Ministry of Power and Ministry of Petroleum Resources with other stakeholders in the oil and gas sector.

“As you know, the Federal Government has been doing a lot to ensure that we rapidly accelerate power supply situation in the country,’’ he said.

Nnaji said Mr President launched the power roadmap in 2010 and“ as part of that, we are aligning the entire value chain of power production level. “The critical element in that is that of gas supply.’’

He said the ` `Ministry of Petroleum Resources and Ministry of Power have been working together to ensure that we bridge whatever gap.’’

The minister said the country would collaborate with international oil producers and the producers of gas and transportation to ensure that the gap was filled.

He explained that when all the National Integrated Power Producers would start functioning in December and gas supply was steady to the plants, more electricity would get to consumers.

According to him, many of the independent power producers are ready except gas supply, which is holding them from taking off. NAN

Thanks guys

Jarus needs to come clear the air here. Hope he doesn't radicalize Jarus like Abdulmutalab.

Thought El-Rufai said Boko Haram members don't wear jeans.

That is how they were claiming that South Westerners were going to school more that their South Eastern counterparts until they were busted here;

Rhino.4dm:
You are not getting it. he said most of the sucessful business men in Lagos are igbos. Aliko Dongete for example is richer than the whole south eastern business men in Lagos put together.

Mike Adenuga nko?? Wale Tinubu nko?? Dantata nko??

Dude, you are the one not getting it here. I listed some notable human capital that Anambra state alone has contributed to Nigeria and that is in line with the topic. Now, in case you don't know, wealth in the South East is not centralized unlike in the North where a man can be feeding the whole village. In Anambra state where I come from, there is hardly a nuclear family without a millionaire in it. For every Dangote you mention, I can list the Ibetos, Coscharis, Innoson,  Emzor, Ekene Dili chukwu, Chisco etc all from the same Local Government Area. Can you do that for ur state?

Rhino.4dm:
So, dangote, Jimoh ibrahim, Otedola, wale tinubu, dantata, ben bruce, alex ibru, are all from south east Na war for you oo.

In terms of human resources, this is a lil of what Anambra state alone has contributed;

There are just too many of them to list. Can you please draw up a matching list from your state. Oya I'm waiting for the likes of Alh Harem to list theirs too.

Rhino.4dm:
Those collection are made where?? Tin can island, Lagos=south west or Idi iroko=South west.

Going by your logic, I should also ask u if the payment for crude oil drilled in Ogoni land is made in Saro Wiwa's bedroom.

Rhino.4dm:
We equally have huge untapped bitumen deposit in Ondo state the fourth largest deposit in the world. Those are not what we want to know.

Tell us the amount of value the south east is contributing to Nigeria. e.g How much is coming from south east this amount as contribution to the federation accounts.

The Nigerian Customs generated more than 600 billion naira in the year 2011. Customs generate revenue by way of collecting duties from importers and  more than 90% of importers in Nigeria are South Easterner. Figure out how much South Easterners contributed to the Federation account by way of import duties and related charges.

Rhino.4dm:
@ bolded.
No one is arguing the ownership of Emzor, but hence there factory is located in south west, there tax is going to south west and NOT south east.

U r just making a mince meat of urself. U just answered the OPs question by your post above. Since these companies owned by South Easterners operate in various parts of the country and PAY THEIR TAX where they operate, is it not now clear that the South east contributes substatially to Nigeria? What we should be finding out now is how much do the contribute in terms of tax payments and others.

Rhino.4dm:
Show us proof! Do you really know the difference bettween importing and producing?? hey!

Rhino.4dm:
Here is Emzor from there website. does that occur to you like a south east??

Rhino.4dm:
Here is Emzor from there website. does that occur to you like a south east??

Dude, EMzor Pharmaceutials is owned by Chief Mrs Stella Okoli. Going by ur logic, since the corporate headuarters of Mobil and Chevron are in Lagos, Lagos state should then claim the proceeds from their operations.

namfav:
you mean the nollywood that is not even the first film industry in nigeria?

you mean the spare parts that you get from asia?

you mean the low quality motorcycles that you get from asia?

you mean the low quality clothes that you get from asia? in the north we create and dye are own clothes

rubber, ground nut and palm oil is produced en masse in the delta region no doubt, but it is not in the south east, and ground nut trading was made by the north, do you remember the pyramids in kano?

the south east is overrated and usually stuff like rubber are produced in the delta region, the south east does not produce much apart from stealing much from the delta, i'd say apart from oil the ss and the south east does not produce much on a national scale, for example like without the north nigeria will go hungry, we can live without rubber, oil, nollywood ( what the hell), your imported low quality auto parts that are responsible for most car accidents, tainted medicines, imported low quality clothes etc.

SE doesn't manufacture auto parts? Have u ever been to Nnewi abi na ur papa dey manufacture Union Batteries and brake pads?

SE doesn't manufacture textile and leather products? Have u ever been to Ariaria market?

SE manufactures fake drugs? Emzor, na ur uncle get am? M&B, na una get am? Neimeth, na una still get am abi?

You create and dye ur own cloth while SE don't?  Ever heard of Akwete cloth?
Comments like the one above make me not to want to debate with some people. I bet you most of the people talking trash here about the SE have never visited any of d SE states let alone live there. They base their lies on wrong assumptions.

ekt_bear:
The SS contributes lots of free oil money to Nigeria.

The SE? I'm not sure what they have done.

I seem not to understand u here ekt_bear. Are you implying that the oil produced in Imo and Abia states is water? Or do these tates keep the revenue so generated to themselves?

Haba, U can do better than this na!

breeze don dey blow, fowl yansh don dey open, but must every Tom Dic.k and Harry use Ndigbo to settle personal scores?

Haba Ileke-otu, are you just coming out of coma? This topic has been over flogged na. Pele o!

^^ You seem not to understand the politics that played out at the time.

I have never seen a crowd as huge as this gather to herald the arrival of a single individual.

I hope they were screened for explosives before being allowed into those churches.

As Nigeria’s nationwide strike enters its fifth day amidst heightened international concerns and consequent rising oil prices, it has emerged that a prominent Christian pastor had accurately predicted the current events three months earlier.

T.B. Joshua, the controversial pastor of The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) based in Lagos, Nigeria, has released a video via his YouTube channel with the words he is purported to have spoken on Sunday 16th October 2011. “I say to you – there will be economic crises,” Joshua began, speaking in a church service broadcast live via the popular Christian television station Emmanuel TV. “You will see every nation, every country will come out and go on the street protesting. Those who rely on oil and mineral resources – they should look beyond these because there will not even be enough money to buy oil,” he said.

Speaking specifically concerning Nigeria, Joshua said to the over 10,000 sombre congregants present, “You will soon see Nigerians carrying placards everywhere. People will be protesting from street to street, from state to state. It will come to a point where they will be looking for rich people around, millionaires – standing in front of their houses.” He continued, “The people that really make this economy work are the grassroots. They will soon be on the street and we’ll see how your company will work, you big men, whether you can do the job by yourself.”

True talk bro!

PROUD-IGBO:
LOL . I actually thought that was a trailer load of Nama at first. But where's their 'bag and bagages' and household furniture? Or don't they have any worldly possessions

Nope! They lay up their treasure in heaven where 72 virgins await them.

Nchara:
When the first Igbo and Hausa and Yoruba met themselves, what did they say to each other? Assuming this meeting was before English language came into play

The Igbo man being thirsty said to the hausa man;  "nyem mmiri" which means give me water and the hausa man thought he said "nyamiri". That's when the Hausas started uding the term  Nyamiri to describe Igbos.
