This is the very first thing I'm supporting Gov. Fayose for. One needs to check the excesses of the herdsmen to at least create fear in them.

DaBullIT:
Finally ? Have you been waiting for this ??


I won't insult you now because even Fulanis know when and where to stop

IkpuMmadu:
There is something sinister is that is going on. I keep wondering how the Fulani herdsmen have Kalashnikov riffle and I yet we call them herdsmen. I was browsing through the Facebook and I saw the arms siezed by Nigerian customs in Kano . I am asking are we preparing for war?

I know some people will call me alarmist but a stucht in time saves nine


We have to report any security breach to the security forces in state and the best security is vigilant or do I say vigilantes

God be with us all
Just negodu arms

Babacele:
I call it hypocrisy because na dem dey support n do business with Alimo Sharif ,Dasuki, and their boys wey unleash socioeconomic as well as physical n emotional harm on Nigeria and ' our people' including churches ,innocent women and children , destroyed GEJ's government with corruption only to turn around shouting fulani when PMB is busy cleaning their mess but d karma dey on dem....una never know anything.

How one masquerade can create jobs for 1000 people
www.nairaland.com/3083962/lai-mohammed-masquerade-create-jobs
When I opened the above thread where Alh Lai Mohammed made a statement that one masquerade can create jobs for 1000 people, I was surprise by the comments that came from people about the statement. The comments showed how poor the intelligence of the Nigerian youth is as they made a jest of his statement, some out of ignorance while others were mostly out of hate for the man cos he belongs to a party that kicked their own party out of power thereby blocking all corrupt avenues they were reaping from e.g ghostworker salary.
A very intelligent mind would have scrutinized the statement very well and would have realised the lack of need to criticize but attest to the idea. But these people suffering from post-election trauma lack the capacity to reason in such a sophisticated manner, hence their open show of the illiteracy bestowed on them by 16yrs of rot.
Now, to the statement "one masquerade can employ 1000 people". How is this achievable? Shallow minds would expect that the single masquerade will open a company and send out job adverts for unemployed youths like them to apply. Such is hardly the case.
A festival for masquerades is quite an opportunity for businesses to thrive, but our problem is that we have been very myopic by doing things the same way and expecting different results. Let's say such festival spans for 2weeks; below are the opportunities it can open if we truly value such culture as much as to transform its festival by investing heavily in it.
First, each masquerade can be endorsed or branded by a corporate company thereby having the masquerade's attire designed to show the logo of the company e.g GUINNESS. That will fetch the masquerade some big box in tune of millions. The ordinary masquerade of yesterday with just 2 drummers can now employ a trumpeter, a keyboardist, a flutist and any modern musical instrument player(remember, we are doing it in a different way this time around).
Once Nigeria Breweries see that Guinness is keying into the idea, they too might decided to sponsor a group of masquerades who are also going to have their own band. With top bottling companies present at an event that could witness up to a hundred thousand viewers, be sure to have drinks flowing. That's where female ushers come in. Campus girls can take that role which gives them a job experience to write in their CV.
MTN or Airtel might jostle to be the event's official network. This might make them to consult an outsourcing firm to help recruit new hands for a contract job to cover the event. The attire the workers of these companies will wear to the event will be sewn by some individuals who will have some change to pocket.
With these companies swinging in, the media will beam their light on the event thereby popularising it to the extent of attracting the interest of foreigners who will invest in it.
What if it is done in such a way that the masquerade event is used by mobile phone companies like Slots and 3Chub to showcase their products for sale? The large turnout won't be wasted. Stands will be sold to them as they employ in-store promoters to enlighten customers about the phones. I hope you are putting the pieces together and finally getting the picture.
Now, count the amount of festivals we have in Nigeria, those for masquerades and those for others and imagine them branded or sponsored. It will really be great. Mind you, the famous English premier league EPL started of with some folks kicking a round object, now it has become Barclay's Premier League BPL with so many other sponsors. The same way adidas or a Nike endorses Wayne Rooney is the same way a company in Nigeria or from abroad can endorse chukwuemeka or gbenga who are really the ones behind the mask.
So, before you criticise next time, think deeply.
This post is for intelligent minds alone.

PRODA enugu is just developing the mechanism for pencil production.. . Private business will partner with PRODA to achieve that

There is a possibility that a masquerade play can provide 1000 jobs for a week and that's what lai said so what's the noise

DropShot:
What our military boys have achieved in less than a year is an example of what good leadership can bring to a business/organization.

freeze001:
Beyond the 'goons' part, what do u say about the rest of the post? Politics over homeland/tribe or vice versa?

KinkyAngela:
... But Goons like you are partially part of the problem, with the way you try to stylishly exonerate Fulani's(I read the thread you created). Bros, ethnicity should come first before partisan politics. Buhari/APC be damnned if they cannot do anything to put an absolute end to the massacre and destruction the Fulani Maraduers wrought against my region.
