This is also known as SHEPOPOTAMUS response.
Something you expect from a SHEPOPOTAMUS.
Not befitting a first lady .
Decorum and decency is surely lacking n that tweet

You expect him to power giant turbines with grass abi?
Some of you are just dumb.
Dumb dumb dumb.
Perhaps, you should use so of the time you spend on facebook on researching power generation and transmission. , get up to speed with your civics and and responsibility.

Have you seen Murtala airport?
Yep , one of the airports Stellah Oduah transformed with unappropriated $1 billion .
Stinking toilet , leaking roof , lack of ventilation, torn and broken chairs and table all over , missing ceiling tiles and exposed beams , torn conveyors belt
It is a mess

Realdeals:
They are used to the illegal payment made to them by previous ministers. Sack them if they are not ready to CHANGE!. The whole civil service needs to be restructured.

Many such an official, upon winning a foothold in City Hall, thinks only of his own cohorts, and his own gain. So it is not surprising that public affairs grow stagnant. Truly, cannot fathom such minds! I can think of nothing so satisfying as doing public good in as many ways as an official can. Think, for an instant, as to just what a city is. As I said long ago, it is not an array of buildings, parks and fountains. No. A city is a living thing! It is, actually, human;for it is a group of humanity growing up in daily contact; and if officials adopt as a slogan, “all I can do,” and not “all I can grab,” only its suburban boundary can limit its growth.

Nothing more to add.
Bad habits die hard. Go to any ministry in this country probably less than 20% of those employed have something to do .
The rest idle away and at the end of the month, pick up a salary.
The only reason you can give for keeping them is the politicians will waste and/or steal any savings gained from mass retrenchment.

Many of these countries send their immigration officers to Nigeria for training.
The embassy visa queue is the best boot camp in the world

They know he is lying.Many of these countries send their immigration officers to Nigeria for training.

Looks good but those union chairmen should have been made to pay for this out of the taxes they collect from commercial drivers

Twistaray:
I tell ya. My archive is blazing with facts and figures too

Make I siddon dey watch for one corner while I await any flaatty that dare show up here with these IPODS blogs/stats again.

Those kids in tech are cleaning their mouth with benjamins . I am holding fire as well .
We are not even talking about those silent billionaires . You would think they are average people , down to their average looking houses and cars .
The only way you would know are the schools the kids attend overseas and their addresses in New York and London.
Fashola keep banging on the government refusing to honour contracts and the courts' cluelessness in regards to business law .

What do you think he was talking about ?
Off the top , I can name about 14 omoluabis who are deliberately keeping their money out of Nigeriabwvause of the long throat of those who always covet other people's property.
Like what they did with murtala airport 2 and Harry Akande's Hilton hotel.

Twistaray:
See upper cut.

I think we should post this fact right there : on facebook,twitter, NL,news paper,blogs et al.
We must never relent and never quit exposin those delusional IPODS..

He is only scratching the surface .

If all of you self tax yourselves and gather together all the money you hand over to pastors on Sunday and Imams on Friday , you will build that road within 2 month .
If necessary, ask for permission from the government to toll the road.

#did you pay 20% of all your income above N10,000 on taxes?
If not ,
There are more important roads needing attention.

Students behaving like touts.
Another life lost for nothing . As if the criminal police force cares about law enforcement.
A well groomed omoluabi avoids interaction with the illiterate killer police-force at all cost.
One person with a mobile phone and a Twitter account would have achieved more .
Take pictures of the culprit and their vehicle. Job done.
By the way, the right questions are:

1 Why are the officers, who are supposed to be a first responder do not have the training , sense of duty and are incapable of providing first aid?

2 why the school does not have an ambulance unit?

.

Al the fingerprints are in the letter.

ODVanguard:
Folks like us are fully on ground to terminate their fables and lies. They can keep repeating it amongst themselves if it makes them feel good about themselves, but the truth is like pregnancy that can't be hidden for long. We will keep exposing them. Awon oniro oshi.

The problem is the lack of SELF PRESERVATION pricinples amongst Yoruba elites.
The YORUBA FIRST must be renewed.

ODVanguard:
Excerpts from http://www.gamji.com/haruna/haruna291.htm



In other words, all his talk about Aba,Onitsha, Nnewi industrial capacity is nonsense coz SW about triples SE industrial capacity as at 2009, not to talk of today. A prominent Nnewi based industrialist recently lamented publicly that the town is fast deindustrializing. Yorubas must be doing something spectacular to continue attracting so much FDI.

cc: OmoAjowa7

I understand where he is coming from
These are the people who have been left behind.
They are the ones tussling with migrants from other parts for low - paying jobs( buying and selling ) ,and to whom no one is paying attention. He does not have the skillset and mindset to tackle the ever changing nature of SW economy .
His mentality is based on his surroundings and he cannot see what is happening around him
The worst thing is that he is spreading that mindset the same way the likes of Odumakin and Femi do as well.

The writer is as ignorant as he is local.
My guess is that he surrounds himself with losers.
70% of manufacturing concerns in Lagos ?
Where did it pull that from ?
Where exactly are those 70% located?
He said all Yoruba billionaires are in oil and gas apart from Adenuga . Adenuga is in oil and gas as well( con oil) .
Ever heard of those in banking , insurance,legal, airlines , construction,PR and real estate to name a few .

I can give the names of 100 start-ups and brands started in the last 5 years, by omoluabis below the age of 35 .
The writer had better taken a trip to Yaba to get reorientation.
One player( below 38) just got $25million seed money 2 days ago . Guys are making things happen and this one is sitting down writing crap .
Abi you want to tussle with China for $1 t-shirt ni?
Even the apprenticeship he advocated for is backward . Get the technical schools up and running again , followed by proper apprenticeship in proper set up like Elizade .
Nigerian examination bodies ? I would not take the ranking seriously. Not to say that education has not deteriorated . The A,B and C team do not school in Nigeria anymore.
The one that annoys me the most is his beef with the hyper markets and malls . Those malls are the foundation on which a future supply and domestic omoluabis value chain will be built on products we have comparative advantage.
THE ONLY LETTER YOU NEED TO WRITE TO TINIBU
SHOULD BE ABOUT LEADING THE YORUBA NATION OUT OF NIGERIA .THAT WAY , WE CAN UNLEASH THE PENT-UP ENERGY

Tide
Earth quake
Tsunami ( if it empties into the ocean)
Super massive underground sinkhole.
Shutdown of the canal's water supply Upstream
Diversion upstream

Not smart to go anywhere near that thing.
If it suddenly disappears , it is also capable of suddenly reappearing with anger.
Tell those people that they are risking their lives . In fact, anyone living below the height of that bridge must be cautious.

America left wing/right wing?
More like centrist/ right/ far right.

E.g Nixon and Eisenhower ( old school) make Obama look like a right winger.
Nigeria is runs a criminal form of neo-conservatism(
Far right).
Countries with leftwing / centrist/right wing politics are Canada,Sweden, Denmark,Finland etc

utytill:
Itsekiri is yoruba.

And so?

what exactly is it supposed to achieve.
The only question deserving of a reply is the question about the security response to protest.

Compliant:
QUALITY EDUCATION IS MIGHTIER THAN OLUWOLE

Unfortunately, most universities are certificate mill nowadays. Even the so called best university use the tuition of the average student to subsidise the tuition of the genius.
If you observe properly,some of your classmates( genius) roll with professors and researchers in the laboratory while the rest of you are busy cramming for examinations.
Yes, many Nigerian universities are as outdated as the lecturers within but the amount of money being spent on foreign education is not giving a bang for the buck.

I doubt Messi wife's has $2 million worth of jewelry .
We are talking about someone grossing over $50 million annually.
This won has not even a candle or biscuit factory. Yet can afford a wardrobe with that amount in jewelry.
Tell me this is not the definition of a criminal.

Frankiss44:
The wise ones know this... But the foolish ones are saying the confab is for the archives..

Your confab is useless

Baggage.
Serious baggage.
This is exactly what we've been carrying since 1960.
When will the time come to hop off this tattered bus?

You are fighting against human nature.What you count as tribalism can also be regarded as an expression of nationalism. Perhaps, Nigeria is 10 countries in 1.
perhaps the landlords have had bad experiences with foreigners. Like their immigration enforcement officers breaking down the door to arrest undocumented workers.like 419 and drugs.

That is definitely a cocoa farm. you can tell from the looks and height of the trees that they are quite old.

They can go and take the bakassi from Cameroon and see If that ragtag army of illiterates still exist 24hr after making such an incursion

The government must be ready to sacrifice oil rather than yield to criminals.
For the past 50 years, the greed associated to that industry has not yielded any benefit. Instead it has broken the social contract between the government and the governed.

What does he do for a living?

Let them destroy.
Buhari must stay on the present course.
