I think you are talking nonsense.

Dasuki was removed by a military government. And yes government often acts lawlessly but the idea that that you can remove without explanation is foolish.I do not need to debate that.
Oba cant sue as to removal? Why not?

Was Jokolo not removed as Emir did he not sue.Did the Appealcourt not reinstate him? The case isnowwith the Supreme court

You don't know,
and don't know you lack knowledge but you think you know everything

You are correct. A sitting governor can dethrone a monarch but he must justify his reasons in accordance with due process. To buttress your position, the late former governor of Ogun, Olabisi Onabanjo, once dethroned the Awujale (the current one), but the decision was reversed some years later by the courts.

bettercreature:
Just admit you are wrong and stop all these unnecessary epistle.

Wrong about what exactly?? That Bezos (whom the thread is about) is an I.T person and made his billions via I.T? Or that the business depends on I.T specialists to function and give it its innovative edge? Dude, get the fvck off my mention. Besides, why did you have to switch your moniker?? You're a fvcking troll. I ain't gat time for your foolishness. For the last time, fvck off my mention.

DieBuhari:
I am bro.
Will you count Jumia and Konga as IT companies too?

Dude, this will be my last exchange with you because I don't have time for your trolling antics. The thread is about Jeff Bezos' net worth (who himself is an I.T person), who made his money via I.T, and created an innovative I.T-based solution to doing retail business (Amazon); a business that won't be where it is today without software/web programmers who are responsible for managing its core functions -- which is making your shopping experience convenient and hassle-free online. Remove the I.T backbone of Amazon and you will have just another conventional retail business that would require thousands of physical stores like Walmart does. Whatever you choose to call Amazon or Bezos is your business and doesn't change the facts on ground.

DieBuhari:
That doesn't put Amazon under IT category
All serious businesses today use one form of IT or the other, even the offline stores like Walmart you mentioned are heavily IT dependent but that doesn't make them fall under IT category.

Guy, I can see you're just trolling so I won't bother with you any further. I.T made Bezos who he is today. You are in no position to lecture me about I.T.

DieBuhari:
Amazon doesn't fall under IT category

Ehh... hello. Amazon is an E-commerce solution to retailing. You make your shopping ONLINE via their platform at your convenience, rather than going to the likes of Walmart, KMart, Target, e.t.c. That's an I.T based innovation/solution. They've prettymuch made nonsense of the brick-and-mortar business model of the likes of Walmart.

Besides, Amazon also owns a hugely successful and popular Cloud Hosting platform called AWS (Amazon Web Services).

The thread is about the owner, Bezos, whose profile reads that he's "an American technology and retail entrepreneur, investor, computer scientist, and philanthropist"

Without I.T, that business would be offline and would be no different than the Walmarts of this world. I.T is the innovation that made Amazon what it is today. #Fact.

olanshi:


I have this strong believe...

I will hit $300 billion in 10years time....

Can I get some loud 'Amen'


On the Verge to be completely successful

$300-billion?? I admire your ambition. Though not impossible but e go tough o.

Dang it. I.T keeps creating super-billionaires than any other sector in recent times.

You use few examples of successful Igbo owned startups while I'm letting you know the ecosystem is Yoruba dominated. Even one of your brothers opened a thread on it sef. I'll find that later.

Here's the thread right here:

Ihatepork:
Oh! And simplepay didn't raise any $10million. ODVanguard come see how I'm busting ipob youth lie here. The guy thought he was chatting with an ignorant Yoruba

Chief, sorry I just saw your mention, been a bit busy. That guy you are engaging is an ignorant loafer and pretender. If you dig deep you'll realize that he's a typical empty vessel who panders off lies, half-truths, rumours, and imaginary/cookedup tales and false hype as 'facts'. I've deconstructed and exposed his fibs on this forum on more than one occasion. The truth/fact is that SimplePay has been 'hoping' to raise $10-million since 2015 but to no avail, while a relatively newer entrant, Flutterwave, earlier this year effortlessly raised over $10-million in its series A funding (this was in July this year).

https://medium.com/@theflutterwave/flutterwave-series-a-funding-3708259dc830

You know what is even more ironic is the fact that his kinsman's IrokoTV uses a relatively newer entrant PayStack as its payment processor instead of the older SimplePay . Essien's HotelsNg also abandoned Interswitch for PayStack . Me sef don fashi PayPal and integrated PayStack for my online merchant clientele. If you've tried accepting online payments as an e-merchant, you will understand why the likes of PayStack and Flutterwave have innovatively changed the game and are gaining so much traction. Egbe ishu ko n'iyan.

ODvanguard and others your fellow yoruba elder admitted that over 70 percent of industries in Lagos are owned by igbo and you are here typing nonsense. Lagos will fold without ndigbo fact!

Ode, you couldn't find the list of Lagos igbo estate owners you were chestbeating about after being busted and disgraced, so you resorted to pulling up a falsely ascribed crap written by an ignoramus like yourself. FYI, The Late General Adeyinka Adebayo never penned that crap, the real author has been shamed as an ignorant loafer.

Look, this subject of Lagos industries ownership has been flogged to death on this very forum, and at every point you guys have failed to list these '70% igbo owned industries in Lagos', just like you failed (and will continue to fail) to list your purported igbo estate owners in Lagos.

There are two threads here on Nairaland that offered both ethnic groups the opportunities to showcase their industrial and entrepreneurship prowess within Lagos and the rest of Nigeria, and yet again your people were beaten blue-black and failed to live-up to their hype. If you have forgotten the threads in question, I will refer you to them once again. You can't give what you don't have.

Seems you do not know he is a major owner of Access bank and sat on the board.

Guy, you are a proper ignoramus. Cosmas Maduka was unceremoniously kicked out of Access Bank board due to the scandal that resulted from him standing as surety for his fellow Nnewi kinsman, Ifeanyi Uba, after the latter defaulted on the initial agreement and refused to pay back the loan to Access. Or have you forgotten??

Of course you must be talking about the slums where there are many Yoruba landlords who accommodate fresh Igbos coming to Lagos with just one polythene bag only to turn to a millionaire in few years and relocate to the island. Most estates in Lagos and Abuja are owned by ndigbo so what nonsense are you talking about?
If you live in a standard house in a city in Lagos, there is 60% chance your land lord is Igbo. Fact

Yinmu. Who are these nameless igbo estate owners in Lagos?? Your lies have long been busted even on this very forum. I am ready and willing to give you a list of the largest estate owners in Lagos, of which Yorubas feature predominantly. Again I repeat, who are these so-called ndigbo owners of 'most estates in Lagos'??

Below is my own list of the biggest real estate owners in Lagos. Show us your evidence (with a source of reference) to show and contradict this that igbos truly own 'most estates in Lagos' or STFU!

You cant tell me that ODvanguard, sarrki, PVision2020, aribisala0, Danladi7 etc are the real owners of lagos when they are paying their rents in Lagos to an igbo landlord. What if their igbo landlord reads this post and decides to kick them out?

Yinmu. You are a jobless lout. Most people have stopped taking you lots seriously anymore coz you are nothing more than empty chestbeaters. A yoruba lady I am close to recently helped one of your sisters to rent an apartment in her name in the same Lagos after The REAL Lagos landlords refused to rent to her. How she (your sister) was unable to locate these elusive igbo lagos landlords to rent to her remains a mystery.

Your people are fond of accusing Lagos landlords of refusing to rent to them, yet your likes still come here to act a fool by chestbeating about your imaginary ownership of property. If you people own as much property in Lagos as you like to claim, why then do y'all still complain the LOUDEST about being marginalized by Lagos landlords? One of your brothers even opened a popular thread on this forum sometime ago about being chased out of Lagos back to Anambra for similar reasons. Y'all need to quit this public embarrassment of obsessing over Lagos when Anambra is desperately in need of your attention.

As long as Ogun continues to attract 75% of FDI into Nigeria as the preferred investors' destination, is the defacto industrial hub of the country, and is poised to soon outperform even the ND states in terms of IGR, with the SW raising the highest amount of IGR in the entire country, then I'm straight.

Diaspora remittances match what we get from oil and gas

Bro, you have to excuse her stupidity, after all she claims to be ijaw. Those people can't see beyond oil. They are nothing without oil. Life begins and ends with oil, to them.

Stop telling those silly Ebola lies?

The same Ogun state has a budget bigger than that of your Abia and Anambra COMBINED

FACT!!

These folks are a bunch of lowlifes. Kai! Dangote has contributed more than any igboman to the development of Lagos, yet Kano people don't make any wild claims like they do. Imagine if Dangote was igbo or from Anambra, omo.. we for no hear word again o.

[quote author= post=62554746]Anu no time for your epistle, list industries owned by Yorubas in Ogun, you are posting link of rubbish thread filled with lies and false claims.[/quote]Choi! E pain am. Low-life basstard. You and your boss are both stvpid. Anambra can't even match Osun, Ogun, PH, Uyo, in terms of infrastructure, industry and development, yet una dey brag and claim credit for 'developing' far away Lagos?? How low and dumb can one get? Well, I know that thread I referenced really dealt you loud-mouthed louts a deadly blow by busting your lies and propaganda, yeah.. I know. Even after listing all the Okoro & Sons 2x2 shops in alaIgbo and the entire country in your counter-thread, y'all still couldn't keep up and ended up beaten like a drum.

I repeat, WE ARE NOT MATES! We don't do that crap of sitting in 2x2 shops to sell imported substandard merchandise and call that entrepreneurship. Hell tha fvck no. We create REAL companies that actually CREATE, CAPTURE, & ADD VALUE! Of course, I do not expect you to know nothing about none of that coz as a semi-educated dolt that you are, 'bizniss' starts and ends with renting a shop and selling okrika or imported fake spare parts. And should that fail, you take the Evans route or become a drug mule .

Una don 'develop' Ragos finish, so now you are 'developing' Ogun as well , while your own Anambra state is underdeveloped, struggling with Osun in the area of human capital development and poverty, AND couldn't even post a single kobo in IGR last year?? Odiegwu ooo.

The thrashing you received on our Yoruba thread obviously didn't fix your buffoonery. The threads are still there for you and anyone to consult you punk.

Because the igbos don't bring their businesses back to their home. That's a fact.
Stop being ignorant. Ijaw is very distinct from igbo.

I don't blame you one bit for your utterances coz you are exhibiting symptoms of a conquered soul. Ijaws have no other job/profession besides fishing and have left every other profession to non-ijaws (Yorubas are huge stakeholders in the oil and gas industry in your state and the entire SS), and even go as far as selling your slots to yorubas and ibo people. On that account I can understand your inferiority complex. Yorubas are in firm control of their regional affairs, both politically and economically (we are not as stupid as you people). And this is not just talk, coz it's fact-based and has been thrashed extensively on this very forum. Compare and contrast the following threads and perhaps your ignorance would be cured for your own good.

The SS is very distinct from igbo.

I'm Ijaw!

You can be another confused SS igbo for all I care. Just because you people down in Rivers are subservient to Anambra people don't mean we Yorubas are mumu like you lots. Ogun alone already has a higher IGR than the entire SE combined. If these people are so special, why isn't it reflecting in their state economy, development, and IGR? The recent elections demonstarted the extent of the poverty in that state, so much so that even the ruling party had to resort to vote-buying. You better receive sense.

YelloweWest:
Multinational companies right?? If i may ask what industry are these big companies in that pay the big taxes??

Yeah....

Girl, first of all you don't have to lie about your tribe. Everyone that follows you on this forum knows you are igbo from the SS. Paye taxes contribute the most to Lagos IGR (of which Yoruba people and multinationals contribute the bulk), and we all know your people in Lagos are mostly engaged in the informal sector of the Lagos economy where tax evasion is the order of the day, and engage in petty trading, gala hawking, and criminal activities. This subject has been trashed on here severally. You people are just empty chestbeaters.

It's probably a gimmick to lure others into wanting to match that amount by 'sowing' more 'seed'. Benny hinn is a well known con man.

Can't really blame those sharing money. Unfortunately for the ones accepting the bribe, joke's on them. The money sharing party, except they don't win, will find a way to cover this expense when in office.
I hope, though, that those collecting the dough are still going to vote for their preferred candidate regardless.

At this rate, election exercises have been rendered meaningless. If you don't have enough money to 'out-buy'/induce voters than your opponent, then don't even bother contesting else you go just 'je gbese'. The highest bidder with the deepest pocket will continue to carry the day. It's also a testament of the pervasive hunger and poverty in the land. Those accepting the money obviously don't care about the competence or qualification of those they're accepting money from and selling their votes to. I pity opposition parties coz incumbents will definitely outspend them in this cut-throat game. Smh.

Are you a witch or a wizard?

It doesn't take a witch or wizard to figure out that you are igbo. Be proud of where you are from.

Are we rich as South Africans.

Guy, what are u talking about? We have more than 4-times the population of SA yet we can't match them even half way. Their companies in Nigeria make more money HERE than anywhere else, in other words, they are getting way more out of our population than our government is able to. Abeg talk another thing.

omohayek:
Which makes it all the more bizarre to hear all the complaining about “heavy” taxes. I wonder how many of those complaining would manage in a typical European country with 20% VAT and top income tax rates of more than 40%! I know they’ll just spout nonsense about how the government should first give them the benefits that will justify the taxes, but how exactly is that supposed to happen without the sort of heavy borrowing people condemn Osun for?

Honestly, going by the way nigerians attack tax collection, I think it's fair to say that we are not ready to develop. South Africa with a population of 40-million is pulling in as much as $65-billion dollars in VAT annually, while Nigeria with 170-million people struggles to collect a meager $6-billion. Our people need reorientation in this regard coz money for development has to come from somewhere, and we don't have that many options, in the face of dwindling oil revenues.
