ROSSIKE:
This guy was another in a long line of ''terrorists'' who received their ''indoctrination'' in LONDON, a US ally.

The suspect lived in an apartment owned by ''a US company''.

His father, a former First Bank chairman, had allegedly ''reported his son's extremist views to the US embassy in Abuja''. (I find that really strange. What father does that?)

As usual, nothing was done about the ''warning'', and the ''terrorist'' was granted multiple entry visas to the USA despite all the ''warnings''.

It's the same tired, old script we heard during the hoopla about 9/11 and other events.

Strangely ''bungling'' US officials, who for some reason always seem to ''slip up'' and let these ''terrorists'' do these horrible things, ''compelling'' poor old USA to ''take action'' by sending invasion troops to oil-rich regions to ''secure supplies'', and ''protect strategic US interests''.

All very contrived, for those with still functioning brains.

Huuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnn, did I hear someone claim ownership of Lagos? It belongs to all Nigerians, reason being that it was a Federal Capital. The place was also developed by the oil money from the south, so let nobody start another civil war by asking Igbo people and other Nigerians to go to their states. Again the constitution of Nigeria guarantees all Nigerians the right to live and own property anywhere in Nigeria. Now to the poster, DID YOU REMEMBER THAT THE LATE OBAFEMI AWOLOWO AS THE FED. COMMISSIONER FOR FINANCE CONFISCATED ALL THE MONEY OWNED BY EASTERNERS AND USED THEIR SWEAT TO DEVELOP THE SOUTH WEST WITHOUT PAYING THEM ANY DIME? [s][/s]

Olafolarin,

Abia and Enugu has or had Yoruba as senior special advisers to the respective governors. We also have discussed this here last time
The main shareholders of many of the banks are not Yoruba' maye be GTB and Intercontinental. First, Union banks are mixed. UBA is almost Igbo. Zenith is also mixed. Diamond is Igbo and so is Fidelity.

There are Agberos everywhere and that should not be in doubt. But we are talking of numbers here.

Lagos ke? I am in Obodo Oyibo enjoying my life.
Note that I said ''how many''? I have not completely dismissed the possibility. However, Globalcom has offices/facilities in Igboland including in remote areas; it is getting good money from Igbo people as much as it is employing them. BTW, Globalcom is an IBB company which Adenuga is merely holding forth
African petroleum will employ how many?
Which are the real banks? How many of the banks are owned solely by Yoruba or they are publicly quoted and owned by all Nigerians? I, even I, have large shares in 10 banks including the 5 biggest ones. The typical Yoruba bank, namely WEMA Bank, will have as many Igbos as Zero in their employ. Thus, the idea that an Igbo takes a job from a Yoruba is rubbish. An average Yoruba will never employ an Igbo.

If you look at the poverty stats, Lagos has a relatively lower level of poverty. The higher levels of poverty in the South West is due to the surrounding states. In Nigeria, there are greater levels of poverty in the rural areas than the urban areas.

What these stats reveal is the total disconnect between Govt investment and the poverty levels. A good lesson for lefties everywhere, including the UK/US. If state intervention reduced poverty, the North will have far lower levels of poverty.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I would have to disagree with this view. How do the stats reveal a disconnect between government investment and poverty levels? Are u insinuating that the Federal Government has done more for the North than for the South? In reality, the Federal Government does not directly intervene in the lives of Nigerians. Whatever economic conditions exist in individual parts of Nigeria are due as much to the policies of the state government as they are to the policies of the Fed. And in a country like Nigeria where the Federal Government has not done its parts in creating the enabling conditions for economic prosperity, are you really advocating that the government (both Federal & State) should not directly intervene in creating economic prosperity through poverty reduction and social welfare programs?

Can you expatiate further on that pls?
Can you interpret the court ruling that stops the said re-run elections?

It's not about AC, PDP, ANPP et al but the democratic system of our dear country.

mekusxxx:
You wish. Tinubu is a crass failure, Saraki says he is not Yoruba, and Yoruba contributed to the mess they are in now by supporting Obasanjo in 2003.

Olafolarin in Germany, I thought you said Yorubas are better than Igbos as quoted below?


See some nice data here to controvert your ignorant statement: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-371485.0.html

SEFAGO:
poor word choice, you semi-educated i.d.i.o.t. At least if you are going to insult someone, do so with grammatical correctness. no be your fault sef, I blame the ppl who made the poor choice of copulating on your birthday, to give birth to a piece of worthless trash. If they has informed me that the 1 kobo, they needed to abort you, was difficult for them to get, I would have provided them with the money, to save both the world and them so much misery.

SEFAGO:
That is what happens when Yoruba towns allow igbos into their town. These people end up setting quack clinics. Then they would now start claiming it is the fault of the townspeople

Well, Aba and environs powered by Geometric company will be on 2/4/7 soon. Before Fasola starts his own, the whole of Abia would have been lighted 2/4/7
My point was to let you know that you do not have to connect to the national grid or even if you do, it will not affect your IPP for its dedicated areas. You are a complete illiterate on such matters, I know. Ode pangolo

In as much as i respect the depth of your research,you still left so much out of the box.
The Abuja project was funded by the FG(as FCT has no functional govt)as a test and pioneer project.It ran for some months independently before being connected to the Federal grid.
The Aba project however is a very expensive state project($400m) which will bring succour to only 50k people.As at today,the project is nowhere near advanced phase.

Lagos population is in its tens of millions and it will take over a billion dollar well concieved,designed,implemented and executed power masterplan for every lagosian to enjoy a stable power supply.
And how do you know there is no plan on ground to that effect?
Transformers of international standard were being produced in Badagry,Lagos to cater for the local and international market.
