Gokana (kana) are local governments in Rivers state. They both along with Tai belong to the Ogoni tribe but each has their dialect of the Ogoni Language. The Eleme people of rivers state also speak a dialect of Ogoni, however, they claim to be a distinct tribe of their own.

Good stuff! This should not end on media pages. Duly charge them in courts after proper investigations.

Not surprised. Given the bad reputation we had globally, our passport will be weak.

You can get public transport at Ajah.

Thanks for this info. I wish it was posted earlier though as some of the scholarship deadline are already past.

I absolutely agree!

Absolutely beautiful piece. Travelling really exposes us to other realities in the world and some of these could be life changing. I am glad you enjoyed your stay there, South Korea is somewhere I'd love to visit myself especially the Samsung Innovation Centre.

About having multiple plans. I think a Plan A and a Plan B should fine. Having up to 10 different plans to tackle a single problem suddenly makes makes planning itself another problem. Hence the need for risk assessment before embarking on any decision. If one has two plans with reduced risks then mostly likely that project should be successful.

Is there God?? - Same shock I met when I was in the UK. A lot of folks in developed countries don't believe in the existence of God.

Hello guys, so I stumbled across this HR joke on Linkedin and thought I'd share.


[center]There aren’t that many HR jokes around, but this one not only takes the biscuit, but raises a number of issues about attracting candidates!

An HR manager was knocked down (tragically) by a bus and was killed. Her soul arrived at the Pearly Gates, where St.Peter welcomed her. “Before you get settled in” he said, “We have a little problem…you see, we’ve never had a HR manager make it this far before and we’re not really sure what to do with you.”

“Oh, I see,” said the woman, “can’t you just let me in?”

“Well, I’d like to,” said St Peter, “But I have higher orders. We’re instructed to let you have a day in hell and a day in heaven, and then you are to choose where you’d like to go for all eternity.”

“Actually, I think I’d prefer heaven”, said the woman. “Sorry, we have rules…” at which St. Peter put the HR manager into the downward bound elevator.



As the doors opened in Hell she stepped out onto a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club; around her were many friends, past fellow executives, all smartly dressed, happy, and cheering for her. They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks, and they talked about old times.

They played a perfect round of golf and afterwards went to the country club where she enjoyed a superb steak and lobster dinner. She met the Devil (who was actually rather nice) and she had a wonderful night telling jokes and dancing.

Before she knew it, it was time to leave. Everyone shook her hand and waved goodbye as she stepped into the elevator. The elevator went back up to heaven where St. Peter was waiting for her. “Now it’s time to spend a day in heaven,” he said.

So she spent the next 24 hours lounging around on clouds, playing the harp and singing; which was almost as enjoyable as her day in Hell. At the day’s end St. Peter returned. “So,” he said, “You’ve spent a day in hell and you’ve spent a day in heaven”. “You must choose between the two.”

The woman thought for a second and replied: “Well, heaven is certainly lovely, but I actually had a better time in hell. I choose Hell.”

Accordingly, St. Peter took her to the elevator again and she went back down to hell. When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends dressed in rags, picking up rubbish and putting it in old sacks. The Devil approached and put his arm around her.

“I don’t understand,” stuttered the HR manager, “The other day I was here, and there was a golf course, and a country club. We ate lobster, and we danced and had a wonderful happy time. Now all there is, is just dirty wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable.”

The Devil simply looked at her and smiled, “Yesterday we were recruiting you, today you’re staff.”[/center]

What is the need for exporting the goods, since there is no profit

There is profit but it's too low due to low revenue.

According to latest WHO records at least three Nigerian cities were among the world worst twenty pm10 polluted cities in the world and Lagos is not among surprisingly.

PM10 pollution

Ranking the 20 worst cities in the world for pollution of PM10s – which are larger but considered slightly less dangerous than PM2.5s – puts Onitsha in Nigeria in clear last place. The fast-growing port and transit city recorded PM10 levels almost 30 times [/b]the WHO recommended level of [b]20µg/m³.

My mum produces homemade liquid dish-washing soap (like morning fresh). It's of good quality - it's thick and smells good.

At the moment she has just a handful of customers but according to her it's because she hasn't been producing in larger quantities. I am interested in partnering with her not on a mum - sun basis but as an investor. I have limited information about this business and would appreciate any good advice on this business. Also, she suggests that with an investment of #10,000, the business can generate enough returns to survive which I highly doubt considering that we have not included logistics cost to it and with the fluctuating currency, it's almost impossible.

For someone with experience in this line of business what is a better estimate of minimum capital to start with?
Also, I know they sell the chemicals in Ojota but does anyone here have a recommended seller, someone I can trust with a good price?
Any automated method for making this liquid soap available, cost and where to purchase it?

Please I welcome only good advice. Thanks

Clearly the Nigerian economy is not encouraging foreign investors. Or even local investors. I have never seen Nigeria this bad.

Very insightful post. Would be very interested in knowing more about this odinala religion and general igbo tradition before colonisation.

BTW Op are you an odinala believer yourself?

UN accused of failing as north-east Nigeria at risk of famine

The UN has been accused of failing to act quickly enough to save hundreds of thousands of lives in northern Nigeria where a food crisis already killing hundreds of people a day is poised to become the most devastating in decades.

Nigerian authorities, who maintain tight control over humanitarian and media access to the region, have also been accused of deliberate negligence and attempting to conceal the scale of the crisis.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has categorised 4.4 million people in the Lake Chad region as “severely food insecure” – meaning they are in need of urgent food aid.

Toby Lanzer, UN assistant secretary general and OCHA’s regional humanitarian coordinator for the Sahel, said: “This is about as bad as it gets. There’s only one step worse and I’ve not come across that situation in 20 years of doing this work and that’s a famine.”

“We have to step in and quickly or we are going to have hundreds of thousands at risk of dying in the north-east of Nigeria.”

Boko Haram’s seven-year insurgency has left Borno’s farmland – which previously fed Nigeria – devastated and abandoned. This will be the region’s third year without a harvest.

The hunger crisis is claiming lives even in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state and the hub of humanitarian and security forces in the region. The city has doubled in size in two years and now hosts 2.4 million displaced people. Food prices are soaring in the markets, where it now costs $100 (£75) to buy a large bag of rice.

Lanzer said UN agencies have not had the resources necessary to tackle the crisis and has called on international donors to prevent a greater catastrophe. Of the $279m (£210m) required, only $75m has so far been secured.

Isabelle Mouniaman, head of Médecins Sans Frontières operations in Nigeria, said MSF has been raising the alarm in northern Nigeria for two years and UN organisations have failed to respond.

“We’ve been calling to the UN, to the headquarters of Unicef, WFP [World Food Programme], OCHA and their response has been ‘Yes, we’re doing this and that’… But you cannot just be satisfied to say you built X number of latrines, delivered X bags of food when people are dying. It’s not enough,” Mouniaman said.

“The Red Cross is doing their job, MSF is doing their job, but the vast majority of humanitarian organisations are failing in their responsibility towards the crisis in Borno.”


The Guardian was refused entry to Bama by the Nigerian military on security grounds. But Maj Gen Leo Irabor, who leads the military operation against Boko Haram in the region, said hunger in the Bama camp was “relative”.

“Very largely I think their needs are being met,” Irabor said.

Several people evacuated to Maiduguri agreed to speak to the Guardian on condition of anonymity. One man, a civil servant, said he had seen people die every day in the camp as a result of hunger and poor sanitation.

Food rations were delivered once a day by civilian militia and distributed by local community heads. This was often raw rice, which there was no means to cook. Complaints about hunger and deaths were ignored.

“How many times we cried out or we complained … But when we were in Banki, the army confiscated all our mobile phones. If the army saw you making a telephone call, wow would they give you a beating,” he said.

David Cameron calls Nigeria and Afghanistan 'fantastically corrupt'

From the section UK Politics

David Cameron and the Queen

Image caption

The PM was speaking with the Queen, the archbishop of Canterbury, Speaker John Bercow and Commons Leader Chris Grayling
David Cameron has described Nigeria and Afghanistan as "fantastically corrupt" in a conversation with the Queen.

The PM was talking about the forthcoming anti-corruption summit when he made the comments.
It was not clear whether he knew the comments were being recorded.

"We've got some leaders of some fantastically corrupt countries coming to Britain... Nigeria and Afghanistan, possibly the two most corrupt countries in the world," Mr Cameron said.

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby intervened to say: "But this particular president is not corrupt... he's trying very hard," before Speaker John Bercow said: "They are coming at their own expense, one assumes?"
The government will host world and business leaders at the summit on Thursday in London, aiming to "galvanise a global response to tackle corruption".

Swiss residents are to vote on a countrywide referendum about a radical plan to pay every single adult a guaranteed income of £425 a week (or £1,700 a month).

The plan, proposed by a group of intellectuals, could make the country the first in the world to pay all of its citizens a monthly basic income regardless if they work or not.

But the initiative has not gained much traction among politicians from left and right despite the fact that a referendum on it was approved by the federal government for the ballot box on June 5.

Under the proposed initiative, each child would also receive 145 francs (£100) a week.

The federal government estimates the cost of the proposal at 208 billion francs (£143 billion) a year.

Around 153 billion francs (£105 bn) would have to be levied from taxes, while 55 billion francs (£38 bn) would be transferred from social insurance and social assistance spending.

The group proposing the initiative, which includes artists, writers and intellectuals, cited a survey which shows that the majority of Swiss residents would continue working if the guaranteed income proposal was approved.
