[quote author=tpia@]He's british, his parents are nigerian.

He could also be referred to as black british.[/quote]Culturally, philosophically he's more Nigerian. I bet he'e eaten more rice and stew than potato in his life. Black British is not an identity but a bland phrase created for political correctness. Even white people self identify themselves as English, Scottish or Irish not British

Besides he most heard, several times form his parents that England is not Home; that Nigeria is home

coogar: what is he if he's not nigerian? if your parents had you in china and you lived all your life in china then you are chinese? he's committed a cardinal sin now and you people don't want to be associated with him. if he had won a grammy, the tune would be different!

bunch of hypocrites!!

Seconded. If na Noble prize winner born in England, him papa village king will declare seven days of festivities, GEJ will claim it a result of his transformation agenda, Punch, Guardian etc will be full of congratulation

Suks: please tell dat dude
The guy is not Nigerian......whc kain wahala b dis!

He's a Nigerian. Period. whether born in England or Timbuktu

Is it the Fani Kayode news week? seriously why is this guy stinking the joint. First, he claims illuminati was behind the London murders, then he defends El-Rufai's jobless daughters and now this.

Guess his life most be so boring after stealing money from corrupt political activities. Maybe he needs EFCC to rattle his cage a little bit

Here is another balanced report which raises important questions the illuminati crew dare not ask.

Thanks for your efforts in debunking the presence of illuminati in this murder. Why do black people quickly accept the existence of illuminati or invisible arm that guides events? Can’t we seek rationale explanations? The only thing about conspiracy theories: that they are just theories. Simple! Only the unintelligent mind will take it to heart and begin to psychoanalyze and find patterns where none exists.

In the coming months, when this case goes to court, it will be revealed as a case of brutal murder committed by two unhinged individuals. Criminals influenced by evil rhetoric from so called “Islamic teachings” to rationalize random act of murder.

Sadly for these two guys when serving time in a British jail they’ll come to regret the missed opportunities to live a richer and better life. Spending the rest of their lives in jail knowing they’ll probably die there will cause so much angst. Paradoxically, the Islamic cleric that influenced them may stay a free man while continuing spewing rhetoric of hatred.

bloggernaija: What foriegn investment? The so called foriegn investors are nothing but fronts for corrupt politicians,flamboyant pastors,crooked business and hot money from junk bond artist . Most of the money is going to speculation in the financial sector .the modus operandi is to create a bubble by artificially inflating the economy ,thereby driving up the prices of shares,stocks and commodities.later this bubble bust and the innocent is left out of pocket. This is a party the average man is not invited. At the end of the day, the country ends up being bankrupted. Example are Greece ,Cyprus , Ireland,USA,united kingdom etc.

Very true word bro. This is why most Nigerians remain poor and a very few are getting rich. The game hasn't changed, its just getting fiercer

hmmn I see Northern women have also mastered the art of oiling the wheels of corruption. Who says "democrazy" is only a man's game? I think women can be fiercer and smarter at the game

Clever choice of wheels, given that northerners love Hondas with so much passion. That's knowing your customers

2013 Western Conference finals

Spurs vs. Grizzles: Which starting 5 has the edge?

PF: Tim Duncan vs Zach Randolph --- Too close to call
C: Tiago Splitter vs. Marc Gasol --- Definitely Marc will pound Tiago to submission
SF: Kawhi Leonnard vs. Tayshun Prince --- I pick the more athletic Kawhi over the veteran Prince
SG: Danny Green vs. Tony Allen --- Trick or treat Allen will be too much for Danny
PG: Tony Parker vs. Mike Conley --- wow! I’m stuck here but if you put a gun to my head I’ll go for Tony Parker.

Potential game changers coming off the bench:

For Spurs:
Manu Ginobilli --- can change a game with his 3 point shooting and exciting drives to the basket. That said, the solid perimeter defense of the Grizzles should curtail Manu and force turnovers. Also Manu may not be healthy enough to withstand the suffocating defense of Prince and Tony Allen

Matt Bonner and Gary Neal have been inconsistent thus far in the playoffs, but either can still come up with a momentum changing 3 pointer

Will T-Mac see floor time? If so, can he even have any impact in a series that’s expected to be a defensive battle?

For Grizzles:
Quincy Poindexter and Jarryd Baylis have become reliable 3 point shooters for the offensively challenged Grizzles bench. With Marc & Zach dominating the paint, there will be plenty of 3 point opportunities for these guys.


Prediction:
I say Grizzles in 6 games but Pop’s ability to draw up smart plays during time outs may give Spurs an edge. Also Timmy, Tony Parker & Manu are masters in executing down the stretch.

[quote author=A-40]In the end inexperience cost the Warriors! It was a good run tho they just couldn't get stops when it mattered most

Western Finals are set then! Spurs vs Grizzlies

The Knicks hang on but can they steal a game in Indy? Especially with Melo and JR shooting so poorly all series long?[/quote]Seriously who cares about this series? Given the atrocious shooting by both teams, the games are so painful to watch. In any case, who ever wins will be scorched by the Heat in 4 or 5 games.

All eyes should be on the Griz-Spurs match up. An intriguing series awaits us with both teams peaking at the right time. I tip my hat for the Grizzles in 6 or 7 games. Also, I believe the Grizs is the only team left that can outlast the Heat

olaric: Nigerians are going to find it hard to accept this phone with open hands because the battery is not removable.

Wrong. Nigerians will kill to have any Blackberry phone

Truly, Nigerian politicians and pseudo elites are ruthless and merciless. How can you spend over $35,000 a year so your daughter can learn to play the clarinet, flute or cello? Instruments that any North American child can learn to play for FREE in junior or high school.

And in the end this girl will be appointed Managing Director in one of her farther's money laundering companies

Men! the game is rigged in Nigeria.

It's the Kryptonite Nate night! The smallest player in this playoff and the biggest surprise so far. He carried the Bulls on his shoulder to cool down the red Heat. I'm so excited. Yes, one game does not decide a series but could this be the upset we've been waiting for?

Roland17: Spurs vs Warriors: this is a very unpredictable match up, but I think the experience of spurs would prevail. Warriors have already over achieved by reaching the semi's.

Okc vs Grizzlies: the grizz are the only genuine team left with a post game and defensively apt, okc is a jump shooting team and without westbrook it has become tougher, I am going with the grizzlies, hopefully zibo can stay out of foul trouble during the series.

Knicks vs Indiana: this is the end of the road for the AARP knicks, the pacers are overtly physical and pound the glass, the pacers would win this one.

Heats vs Bulls: the bulls might steal one or two games, but they lack instant offensive, the heats possess too much fire power, especially three point shooting, thus they get my vote...
I would not wish to see rose come back, the team is already struggling with chemistry, I doubt rose would solve it...

But i would sure love an upset.

Me too, but NBA playoffs so boringly easy to predict. few surprises Most people agree it's Heat vs. Spurs final and Miami wins it all.

I'm rooting for this Grizs to get to the final. A deep, balanced, tough and rugged team. This is the one team that can take the Heat down to the wire. In the end though the Heat simply has too much firepower to overwhelm any defense.

[quote author=A-40]Looool this entire Laker team bar Kobe was a disaster this season! Gasol,Dwight,Nash,Metta all these niggas gotta go mehn[/quote]Speechless. I believed this team had some fight in them(even without Kobe). Apparently not.

Ditto the Rockets. Anticipated a tight series, now Rockets may also be swept by OKC. Damnit! It's the playoffs, can't these guys just show up and make things interesting.

eko ilee: NL illiterates at it again...lmao


Obviously, they are talking about the value of cargo business moving through the port which is not unrealistic since it's going to be serving multiple countries.

LA port alone moves goods worth over $236 billion a year and generates over $400 billion in annual revenue..


$200 Billion or not, this is very irrelevant, fact remains that this is set to be the largest and the most sophisticated port in west Africa. This is going to be the go to and the premier port serving all the west African coast.

The huge revenue numbers for now is irrelevant, it's all about the immense economic potential for all involved.

He's talking revenue numbers. Using fuzzy math to come up with fake projections is same as fraud

Rotterdam, the worlds's largest port generated revenue of $850 million in 2012. Compare that to the bunk $200 billion for this new port

Rossikk: I think the amount refers to the concessionary period not the actual yearly revenue. Title adjusted accordingly.

So what is the expected yearly revenue? Your Paki man should tell it as it is and stop playing with words. And btw why should we believe figures touted by a Paki man? These guys are are masters in the art of falsifying numbers

[quote author=A-40]Maybe just maybe! They actually finished 7th and have dodged OKC they face San Antone and to be honest I think they have a fighting chance of pulling off an upset

Playoff ties
East
Heat vs Bucks
Knicks vs Celtics
Pacers vs Hawks
Nets vs Bulls

West
Thunder vs Rockets
Spurs vs Lakers
Nuggets vs Warriors
Clippers vs Grizzlies[/quote]Feeling great this morning. I hoped and prayed for a Spurs vs Lakers match up; and I got it. The series can go either way or Spurs sweeps. very unpredictable and intriguing. I'll go with Lakers in 7. why? A banged up Spurs team is what the Lakers need. As one ESPN commentator said the "Spurs engine is leaking oil" and not sure if Pop can fix things on time.

Plus, ironically Kobe's absence may put less pressure on guys and can play loose. Though it feels unreal without Kobe in the mix of things. Gasol is key in this series. Timmy and Dwight cancel out each other.

Same theme in the last couple of years: African countries like Nigeria are growing rapidly but more people are still very poor.

Same report, same problems identified and nothing changes. Foreign Direct investment continues to pour in while pocket of the people remains empty.

Will anything change?

Economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa should significantly outpace the global average over the next three years, according to the World Bank.

Higher commodities, increasing investment and a general pick-up in the world economy should all boost the continent's growth to more than 5%.

But the World Bank added that African governments had to do more to ensure that this growth reduced poverty.
Global GDP was forecast to grow by an average of 2.4% this year.

Foreign direct investment is forecast to reach record levels in the coming years, hitting $54bn (£35.3bn)a year by 2015, the Bank said.

The report said strong economic growth in Africa had significantly reduced the extent of poverty in Africa over the past decade or so.

The Bank's provisional figures showed that the proportion of Africans living on less than $1.25 a day fell from 58% to 48.5% between 1996 and 2010.

"If properly harnessed to unleash their full potential, these trends hold the promise of more growth, much less poverty, and accelerating shared prosperity for African countries in the foreseeable future," said World Bank economist, Punam Chuhan-Pole.

But the Bank added that poverty reduction was being held back by income inequality and a reliance on mineral and mining exports in some African countries.

Resource-rich countries such as Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria and Gabon were singled out as making less progress in combating poverty than other African countries with fewer natural resources.

"While the broad picture emerging from the data is that Africa's economies have been expanding robustly and that poverty is coming down, the aggregate hides a great deal of diversity in performance, even among Africa's faster growers," said Shanta Devarajan, the World Bank's chief economist for Africa.

Problem areas
The Bank said infrastructure development was critical to ensure the strong pace of economic growth.
Investment in infrastructure would be key to the continued success of the oil and gas sectors in East Africa and the exploitation of the huge coal deposits in Mozambique.

The mineral sectors in places such as Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone should continue to attract investment, the Bank said.

The World Bank did, however, identify some problem areas it felt could hold back economic growth.
Labour unrest in the continent's largest economy, South Africa, as well as political issues in the Central African Republic, Mali and Togo were identified as potential concerns.

The Bank warned that risks to African growth remained, not only from the continuing crisis in the eurozone, but also from any sharp unforeseen downturn in demand for commodities from China.

bebe2: for a country with high rate of unemployment, why are there no job agencies. a company that will have a list of candidates on their books, have their qualifications and references that can be refered to wen employers need them,

if u need staff were exactly do u go.
i have been looking for pple to work in my bakery and cant seem to find any.
tips if u have one pls

Put help wanted in front of your bakery and people will show up

First thing first. Where are the jobs? Let jobs appear then start looking for agencies. Abi na agency go manufacture jobs

popsi: @Occam,

I do not find any thing wrong with the advert, it stated by stating Close, it never said its less that 20mins to LFTZ, I think is for poeple to judge what is close. In some countries travling 30mins to 1 hrs is deemed as close i.e UK and USA

Lekki is close to Victoria Lsland; that we know. I can drive from Onike (Yaba) to VI without traffic in 20 Mins. So can I say Onike is close to VI? Absolutely not

This is certainly an organised effort by group of individuals to aggressively sell the lands. Going through the links you'll see the ad messages are similar and are mostly using same blog platform.

BUYERS BEWARE! When the ad is very deceitful, better believe the product is fake

blancason: I cant really argue much against what lawyer has said, but i"l start with the quote above.The marketer never said five minutes from lekki epe expressway, she/he clearly wrote "OFF" lekki epe expressway( access road joins the expressway).

It seems lawyer have used the overzealous marketing write up from ONE MARKETER to judge the validity of the Dominion Estate, which is rather unfair. Agreed, that write up is not honest but the information was written down by a selfish marketer.

The fact that they are selling the land whilst processing the Title documents doesn't make it frauadulent, as far as it is clearly stated what documents they have and those in process. They have a registered survey on the land and should get excission in a few weeks time. These are clearly stated and those who can not take the risk will wait until all documents are ready.

Playing with words to sell land or anything is border line deceitful. Check the online ad below:

http://ibenemegroup..ca/2012/12/dominion-gardens-ibeju-lekki-now-selling.html

The ad like clearly states [b]"close to" [/b]the Lekki Free Trade zone. Most people may think it's less than 20 mins

Anyway, as they say a word is enough for the wise.

Only four games to go and the 8th seed in the West still up for grabs. Will it be Lakers (41-37) or Jazz (41-38)? Jazz have the tie breaker.

At the top, Spurs (57-20) and Thunder (57-21) still fighting for top gun.

My sense: Spurs may try to avoid Lakers and drop to #2. Pop is a very sly coach and may be thinking of this. Thunder has a better chance beating the Lakers. Both are definitely rooting for the Jazz to clinch #8.

A Harden led Rockets vs. Thunder will be an intriguing match up. Can the Beard upset the OKC Zombies?

Spurs vs. Lakers; Thunder vs. Rockets are very juicy match ups that I’ll love to watch

Men! I love the West

Katsumoto: And why should folks who were running from their own countries and who couldn't bring positive change to their own countries have a say in how another country is run?

You've repeated a line by extreme racist groups to support their myopic vision of the world. No data or fact supports this notion. It was policy targeted at a certain group of immigrants (Asians, Africans)

Paradoxically, preferred Hong Kong Chinese given British passports chose not to settle in the U.K. The passports were simply used as "insurance policy". Most settled in US,Canada or Australia

One more reason to hate this woman:

She enacted tighter immigration rules. Any child born in Britain but of foreign parents does not automatically become a British citizen. This was a very calculated and callous move to hold on to power. Why? knowing that only xenophobic minds will support her "white only" conservative ideas for Britain.

She embraced ideas of the British National Party. Are the BNPs still on the rise? I doubt if a party like that can even exist today with more ethnic groups in Britain

She was Perhaps the most divisive leader in modern Britain. Too many negatives: north/south divide in Britain, anti-immigration and xenophobic stand, staunch supporter of apartheid regime, decimation of manufacturing sector. And she with Reagan pushed corrupt African leaders to accept SAP measures

However, her euro-sceptic attitude may have ensured Britain escaped the economic malaise engulfing Europe right now. Had the Labor party been in power, Britain may have sleep walked into the single European currency or EMS. With hindsight her approach to Europe was the correct one

Ironic that her nationalist attitude and hatred of Europe may have saved Britain from dire economic problems today
