@Seun, @lalasticlala.


I believe this is worth reading.

Nigerian youths, do not let history repeat itself. I see a lot of you gleefully flying banners for old heads like 'Atiku Abubakar', cheerleading stagnancy and perpetual backwardness.
Why don't you think you deserve a political candidate whose brain functions the way your young brains work, in this digital era? Talking about speed and adaptation to modern times?
What's really new about septuagenarians who've been around, long before you wrote your Common entrance examination decades ago?
Why have so much faith in treacherous, gray-haired politicians who failed you in times past?
Men who stole so much from you and your 5th generation yet unborn, gave you woes, contributed to reducing your existence to a hand to mouth kind of living, put your future in a state of uncertainty?
How different are you from the clingy, low-spirited woman who has become accustomed to constant battering, but brightens up each time she's told "I love you" by her abuser?
Nigerian youths, why do you delight in running around this same circle of stagnancy? Who did this to us?
Why lend yourselves to obsolescence all the damn time, you clueless ones?
An old pa who can't climb a flight of stairs without pausing every 2 mins to catch his breath, is not your great future. Age aside, your 71 year old papa is no Donald Trump in terms of high IQ and reasoning ability.
Your political veteran's daily activities should be: wake up, check his bp, read national dailies, relish euphoric memories of his heydays until he dozes off on an Adirondack chair. He shouldn't be made your ruler once again, if you have your senses intact.

Probably there were onlookers when he bashed the car..so just to go through the motions, he did that.

But on the flipside, yea....there are still people like us in Nigeria. Sincerely, if I was in his shoes and I know I was at fault...I will do same. What I hate is having as little as headache or some misfortunes in my life and trying to figure out if it is a nemesis caused by one of my actions.

My motto...live and let's live

darlingtonNYIG:

Yesterday I was caught in the web of an interesting discourse with a friend, a topic that relates to the struggle of the ‘’Biafran’’ people, this friend of mine chastised me that upon having plethora of articles scattered all over the internet I am yet to write an article that discusses about Biafra and the pains the people are facing within this geographical enclave called Nigeria. For a minute I was sober and didn’t have an answer for him; I reflected on what he said and felt I should have written something but on a second thought, I felt it is best to express my feelings about the Biafran agitation. Below is my candid answer to this my friend.
I am from a family that bore the brunt of the brutish life under the civil war, my late dad Hon. Mike Ejezie (R.I.P), a true war veteran and a loyal Biafran developed Bronchitis during the war and failed to properly treat it, this war hang over had complications on him down the years that ultimately led to his death in 2010 from a swollen Heart. I am therefore right to say ‘’ I am a Biafran’’. But are we truly Biafrans? For me, Biafra exhumes fearlessness, hope, equality, strength, perseverance, struggle, intelligence and most of all, the ability not to be stupid. The Biafrans in question have virtually all that I have listed here but lack the most important which is the ability not to be stupid. It is a shame that we shout Biafra need freedom but at the same time we intertwine ourselves voluntarily to the shackles of our said oppressors in Nigeria. As a student of History in the University, I might be privileged to have read more about the Biafran war and the struggle for integration in the early years after the war but oral history and general historic perception have passed the needed information down to the lowest of people in the remotest part of the Biafran land. We are all aware of the extermination efforts made by our brothers up north to stifle our voices and abilities down; our currency (Biafran pounds) was converted to junks just to impoverish us, properties, lands and businesses owned by our brothers in other parts of the country where taken away and our brothers were forced to start life afresh (Melford Okilo and Horsefall of Rivers State will readily come to mind as enforcers of such barbaric policy). I believe no Biafran can say he or she isn’t aware of the sufferings faced by our fathers after the war. But you know what; they are still repeating the mistakes made by our parents before the war.
Don’t get me wrong; I believe in Nigeria and I want our Biafra to be part of it but with equal rights and privileges to grow at our own pace. But if Biafra is our best bet to actualize our dreams then what have we done to make it possible. Making it possible isn’t just by ranting and protesting on every street but rather careful and stringent planning is the way forward. I ask again “what have we done to actualize our goal, what have our political leaders, businessmen and civil servants have done to resurrect the spirit of Biafra?’’ The answer is NOTHING. They have actually made it virtually impossible to actualize. Which ethnic group in this country has more investments outside their ethnic enclave, which group have made their states poorer but enriched other states, which people have the best houses in Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Kaduna, which ethnic group have the best hotels in Abuja? We all know the answers to these questions. According to El Rufai in 2003, the Igbos own about 67% of the landed properties in Abuja so what the heck are we talking about. I am lover of my eastern and Port-Harcourt life and I seldom visit Lagos unless on official appointment or business ( I can’t believe I haven’t attended a wedding or a social event in Lagos; awful) but the few times I have been there I have noticed in disdain how we pride ourselves to owning so much in Lagos and less in our places. Our business men keep erecting factories in the congested Lagos state and even in Ogun state while their place of origin rot away in poverty. From Badagry to Mile 2, Marina to Epe, and from Ikeja to Berger, Biafrans have invested heavily in those areas. Early this year I visited my sister living in Satelite Town, I couldn’t but admire the palatial residential buildings in her neighbourhood but was pissed off when I got to know that about 95% of those buildings are owned by my brothers from the east; I was further shocked when we went out that same evening and everyone around me spoke Ibo language. This is the problem; believe me, half of those owners of such houses haven’t moulded a block back home. So how do we want to achieve Biafra when the common steps we can’t take, How do we want Anambra, Imo, Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi, Delta, Rivers and other southern states to develop when we have left it at the mercy of the poor to develop? Meanwhile, I salute our brothers in Nnewi, Aba, Onitsha and other towns who are living their dreams within the eastern enclave. Our politicians lack unity of purpose; they struggle for the crumbs thrown to them by those in power, they lack political ideology and believe in nothing except their selfish interest. They cross carpet just to win elections and nothing more. We are all testament to the resilience of people like Bola Ahmed Tinubu of Lagos State who stood his ground when the central government almost overran the western region; today he is reaping the fruit as the undisputed kingmaker in Nigerian politics. Who among our leaders has such willpower to stand firm even in the midst of political antagonism? We can remember how PDP swept the South East in 2015 but barely two years after, are our politicians not jumping ships just to gain favour; so what example are they setting for us as future politicians?
With the listed realities above, I say BIAFRA IS AN ILLUSION until the right steps are taken. We must learn to support a common cause, if the bourgeoisies in our midst aren’t ready to do the right things then we youth must take the right steps for our children of tomorrow. We must not achieve our dream in a vague manner and unprepared unless we want a lawless and failed new nation like South-Sudan or degenerate to what is happening in Syria and Libya right now. It is high time we develop new strategies of how to achieve our target; protesting indiscriminately and vomiting vituperations won’t take us forward rather we are going backwards. We must learn to have unity of purpose to achieve our Biafra if necessary.

Every commenter above me didn't even bother reading the article

It clearly states that Mugabe is not the target but the people around him

Everybody here just dey shout that Mugabe must go

SMH

As in eh. People don't read again...

Wise lady .

pocohantas:


The Nigeria we find ourselves.
Imagine a girl coming out to do this...why is it always guys spilling?

See ehn, I am very careful in my dealings with 98% of Nigerian guys. There is no mutual sex in Nigeria, sex to them is an accomplishment, something to brag about and demean the girls.

I won't be surprised if there was no sex, I don't wanna believe a guy can be this stupid. The easiest way to tarnish a female in Nigeria is to claim you slept with her.

FUCKmeHARD:
How can a first class graduate manufacture a 'common' wristwatch as you call it when the country cannot boast of steady power supply?




No constant power! All engineering training equipment in our schools and hospitals are outdated!

Buhari is always travelling to UK to treat his retired Dick there because the money meant for even aso rock clinic is whats been shared to all his family members while left over is for BMC and Herdsmen terrorizing good people, blocking roads and robbing day and night with riffle !

Then they turn around send you to come here asking why do we train half baked doctors?!


I'd keep saying No Power supply!



Nigerian Immigration Prints our Passports in Asia!u


All Airtel and MTN Base stations are remotely controlled and repaired in India so how does a gradute of ET learn by just reading this.

Oil wells in southern Nigeria are all shipped to be refined at ten times ten the actual amount.
Then we turn around to import it back.

How would the nigerian graduate learn?

Infact I was at a refinary in Turkey meeeeen ya need to see how university student studying engineering that are always taken there to see the practicals!

While no refinary works in nigeria because the money has been shared and hidden in the north.

Meanwhile Ijaw boys that refine their birth right crude oil and sell to the common man at cheaper rate will find greedy northern security officers trying to get the lion share or take all proceed which most times they call NTA to video khaki boys pouring crude into rivers causing environment polution instead of the Govt to give everyone free hand to refine our property so engineering IT studen can also come and learn...


Nigeria imports guns into the country as confired by Hamid Ali, because our steel rolling mills in Ajakuta and Others cant get power supply to function. For if it has all power supply to fuction, at least there will be IT student learning practicals and there would be knowledge transfer that would make nigerian graduate capable of handling machines breakdown without inviting the china man.



We have Tobaco and ganger / Oshogbo weed in this nigeria yet every day you constantly see imported Cigar! Then how does the nigerian graduate learn how to repair and maintain cigar making machines

These are few....


We have fine girls all over nigeria yet Osho Baba imported woman!

Condom is imported yet we have rubber trees every where!



No research grants for anyone yet you want nigerian graduate to kill himself?

God Bless you.

These my brothers should go understudy the economic importance of Catalonia as a region in Spain.

Same group with you. See you there!

No p mate.

So we even get ab inbev thread here. And I've been flying solo all this while. See you all at the Business games.

Also sending bro

aribisala0:
well the truth is this goes beyond oil.We could be talking aviation, a credible rival to MTN,even power generation. I am not one of those who believe that government has no business in business. All the money that passed through the hands of Odili , Akpabio Ibori, Amaechi and Uduaghan was enough to start a Sovereign Wealth Fund investing in all these sectors. Do you know that Nigeria imports palm oil?
There are more lucrative things to do in Nigeria than crude oil.Ask Dangote .When Our state starts a National carrier they will start wailing

True bro.

Hope the National carrier won't be like Imo Air.

I love strategic thinkers. Lagos has had it good in governors who believe in Continuity...

aribisala0:

That is like asking why I wake up and go to work in the morning and you go smoking weed?
It is called choice. Why do Italy France and Holland have AGIP, TOTAL and SHELL when they have no oil and Nigeria has the moribund NNPC ? Because they make smart choices.
Why do your children have polio while mine are healthy. .?
I hope that helps
The company is a business it is not limited to Lagos or Nigeria oil.Just like you have the right to start such a business so does Lagos State , There is nothing stopping other states doing so whether alone or in combination /partnership with other entities individual corporate or governments and if they do they are free to compete with SHELL and others. This is not limited to oil and gas but ANY OTHER BUSINESS whether Telecommunications, Aviation, Banking etc.Everything Dangote is doing a state government can do.The problem with Niger Delta Leaders is they lack imagination

I wish I can hug you. What they have in the Niger delta is oil producing areas corporation that shares Money and builds roads. Isopadec in Imo State, Desopadec in Rivers state etc. No planning ahead. I knew this news would be tribalised here on nairaland, but I couldn't just resist your argument with that guy you quoted.

My state anambra has Orient , but no news till today.I hope Ibile won't go that way also.


Thank you.

This is fantastic. Where is Willie?

Pls sign an MOU with Siemens or Krones Academy.

Let's leverage on Innoson automobile, and other industries around Nnewi and Osha axis and the FG automotive research institute around Unubi.

fergusen:
Hello, a great thread this is.
How feasible is a PhD without an MSc in a Nigerian university?

Unilag does it. Make enquiries at the department

EEDC is the most useless of the Discos. They recruit based on "IM" and majority of their staff don't understand what it takes to be professional.

The main purpose of Eko Atlantic was to prevent the ocean from swallowing the entire VI; a disaster which was rapidly unfolding prior to 2006. Eko Atlantic in itself is a barrier wall to prevent the ocean encroachment. I wouldn't know, but I'm sure I've read somewhere that the land being reclaimed today is previous land which was eroded by the ocean over the years because there wasn't a proper embankment; and with the current embankment put in place, it somehow gets to divert the ocean surge away from the city (as should have always been the case).

I'm not an expert but dont you think your concerns must have been exhaustively considered during the conceptual and detailed design phases of this project?... Would investors just sink billions of dollars without giving these things a thought?

Perfect analysis. Eko Atlantic is actually a barrier.

What's your issue with them?

Realdeals:

What's the job requirement? does it include M.sc?

I have issues with people that proceed for their M.sc immediately after B.sc without any field experience, some even goes for Phd. We lay too much emphasis on certificate and grades over field experience.

The main gold of the entire southern part of Nigeria ,from Lagos to Akwa ibom,is not the black Gold (oil) . The gold mine is tourism .
The picture ought to be showing ferries transporting tourists and not a rickety boat transporting refugee-like citizens .
With criminal militants,kidnappers , armed robbers , herdsmen,yahoo yahoo,corrupt unions ,thugs ,,terrorists ,religious extremists,corrupt armed forces ,pirates and corrupt,incompetent dunderhead politicians ruling the roost, NO HOPE.
Even Turkey in spite of all the terrorist attacks still attracts tourist

This is the bitter truth. The whites are willing to pay as high as 300$ for a boat cruise across the creeks. You are intelligent bro
