wow, I shake my head @ kobo, ekt_bear.
How on earth can you read that article and decide to ignore the flashing red light in the statement credited to the inestors, simply put;
"we will buy all the produce from the farmland, "

WOW! I say to Fayemi, chase these people away with those long traditional brooms for heaven sake! This is not investment, this is about South Korea food security at the expense of the good people of Ekiti.

To say because the land has been left uncultivated for years we should automatically sign off our tommorrow in the name of foriegn investment is absolutely absurd!

What freaky Korean $400million do we need when Bankole has a whoooping $1bn sitting in UBA? I dare say, we do not need ANY foriegn investor in the Agricultural sector.

We have the abilities -technical know how and the skills- to do it ourselves, only for now the political will that is the missing aspect and that we are fixing already with our resolve to have government that listens to US.

I submit, yet again, LAND does not have expiry date and if this generation of leaders sell OUR LAND for greed, I tell you, Zimbabwe will be a demo compared to the 'CLEANSING' that will take place when we begin to recover OUR LAND.

Why can't FAYEMI go to the BANK (say first bank or UBA)and borrow this amount this freaky wiggy rogues korean investors are wanting to use to steal OUR LAND and invest the money in massive agricultural projects.

Better still, draw these koreans closer, study thier model -which they claim is unique- then ve them kicked out, re-model their model and implement it!This is what the Chinese have been doing and Today they are an economic giant.

With Fayemi's claim to be an exopert in democratic studies and governance in Africa, I hope He uses that knowledge to reject this 'greek' gift! This is not the kind of investment we need.

Maybe this should now be a frequent sign at the entrance in every state;
"LAND GRABBERS STAY CLEAR: OUR LAND IS NOT FOR SALE"

God help us!

@all
Work permit holders under Tier 2 Point Based System to loose automatic right to settle in the UK! See link below

And read the proposed changes in the PDF document on the right side of the website.

Obvious the UK is nearing the 1980s immigrants most go protest era. So it seems they only want the brightest of the elites rogues like russian tycoons, nigeria mega-all-night rich politicians as settlers.

Do they really think people gamble with thier lives in choosing to go work overseas?

1. How on earth did Mama Awolowo become a "deity?" What on earth did she do to get to this status? Even Awolowo is not that in my eyes, not to mention his wife. Criticizing her and the family is fine, but the rude language Omatseye used is not.
2. Regarding the ACNs political views, they seem to be (A) fiscally leftist on most issues, (B) pro-business/private sector on others, and (C) fiscally federalist. I have no clue why anyone will say that they are empty of ideas or have no platform. Means you've not really been following recent events in Lagos and other states, I guess?
3. Tinubu is not a felon. We know he settled out of court on his money laundering case. If he was ever convicted of a felony, provide evidence.[/quote]Think anybody thinking HID is a diety is going overboard.

Interesting how CAS is now dependent on payment of deposits and how unconditional offer is also now tied to payment of deposits. How times have changed!

Few years ago, unconditional offer was used to lure those who applied through UCAS from not choosing another university and you often get the bold flashing of UCAS saying your offer was unconditional even without you paying a dime for deposit! UK university is really bankrupt, guess next move will be to buy application form for 50quid!

@Eko Ile,
Lets leave the shaff and hold unto the grains.Insults doesn't help and I think it maybe wise to highlight and articulate your contrary opinion from zstranger's post than trade insults.

As to the question you posit, I stopped reading the Tribune simply 'cos thier journalism has fallen and thier write ups are always overly bias. I also observed they were often  pro-PDP when issues of such are written about.

Again, on issue of ideology, I was waiting on you to articulate the ideology difference of ACN, Tinubu and how it rubb offs will help restore Nigeria.
I do not think trading words about who a man was/is will help anybody - in this case Tinubu vs Awo vs HID, rather what each stands for is what should be the focal point of this discussion.

My submission that the article was uncultured was simply down to seemingly logical conclusion based on "illogical assemblage of dismembered invented facts" by the writer.I summed it up as uncalled for 'cos the bidding of the article -in my own opinion- was praising singing at HID's immediate family expense, which he could have done withouter referencing such.

kasiem:
This issues emanate from the fact that we see feel inferior to the whites. The other day my elder brother who works with one engineering outfit in lagos told a story of one expatriate who cant even read a drawing that a secondary school guy in nigeria can read, yet he's being paid as an expatriate. A certain day the i.diot opened up that he was just a bleeping welder in britain and here in nigeria he's serving as an expatriate. Okay, the other day refineries were annihilated in abia and was termed illicit, cos it was built by natives. Why cant those natives be harnessed to replace the expatriates? I reside in aba and as a resident there, i've had the opportunity to know the kind of brains that waste there cos of our blind reliance on honkies. Could u imagine , when okada were debarred this guys constructed tricycles with motorcycles? The pathetic thing is that we think that our nationalists have gotten independence for us without knowing that we are in bigger fetter with this kind of mentality. Go to any construction site u'll that the real workers are the locals while the so-called will be smoking and chewing gum.

Dude, sorry there maybe places where this rant can be accommodated certainly not in Aviation!

Aviation is first safety, hence MERIT is the watch word. No other industry I know is overly scrutinized like the Aviation industry, so deservely so, 'cos lives are involved and probability of survival due tiny slip is very high.

The truth must be said, Nigerians must learn that it is either they brace up to standard or become the standard, they would always be second rated if otherwise.
Current professionals in the Aviation industry in Nigeria have not achieved both experiential and technical knowledge as thier counter part in Europe, Americas and even Asia. 10years ago, Asian and Middle Eastern carriers were the ones luring Nigeria trained aviation professionals with mouth watering pay scales, but the  reverse appears to be case now. Why? 'cos we mistepped in upgrading our standards!

Again we seems to also forget that in the developed world, outsourcing in the order of day and most airlines are now also following that trend. In fact that is the major work of this company JET PROFESSIONALS. They outsource type rated aviation workers who sign up with them with proper training. Obviously, Nigeria train aviation 'professionals' will not succeed in getting jobs throught companies like that because, they are simply not typed trained like I mentioned in my other post.

So rather rant about racism,  white supremacy, get your standards in place and Nigerians will be the world's delight.

odiaero:
On Point.

Another place to get the training in Middle East is Emirate Aviation Collage U.A.E - Dubai, they have for all advance Aircrafts, but i guess the problem still remains the cost of training, too much money involve, am PP rated but, but working on to get 747 rated by the End of the year, but that those not me am going into flying commercial, but i just want to have the Ratings

Exactly, an investment model similar to the one is Dubai is what the Nigeria government shoul pursue. Looking at the strategic position of Nigeria in West Africa, having a world class and affordable training facilities in Nigeria will earn us lots of forex! It's a no brainer really.

@ your 747 type rating, how do you intend to get it if you plan not to fly commercial? I mean substantial part of that rating is done by the commercial airline you will be or are working for or thier commission agent/training schools?

I can see you are into aero, are you an aerodynamist,aerostructure-design and stress or just aeroengine?

I think the article in itself was uncultured, and uncalled for! To say the least that the handy work of Tinubu (least by a proxy)is not over that article is an interesting mind set. The writer knows his pay master and he genuinely did his bidding.

But the question I keep asking myself is this; How does the average Nigerian stand to gain in all of these? Would it not have served the writer right if he had meticulously esponged the ideals and ideological path of AWO and contrast that with what is currently being obtained in the zone and allow the public to judge, whether the family and others who claim to be awoist has since left that path.

Then again I ask the question: What is Awoism and how does it fit into the ultra modern Nigeria of our dream? Two most important policies one can identify with Awoism that benefit the masses is;
1. Free education -wonder how many ACN controlled states offer free education)

2.Highly government subsidized healthcare as obtained in social Britain - Again, how many ACN states offers this?

Then is left to be asked the question; What is the AWOISM in ACN -"our" beloved party?- or is it just because those who form the party leadership 'think' they represent progressives, hence AWOISM, without really offering the people what Awo offered the West and Mid Westeren region?

13volts:
even pastor adeboye hired expatriate pilots to manned his fleet of private jets

Please if you have little or no knowledge on Aviation please do not spill rubbish on threads like this.

Firstly, it is one thing to be trained to fly and it another thing to be 'type' rated.

NCAT in Zaria has facilities to train pilots to fly, but they do not have facilities to train pilots to be 'type' rated, meaning to be able to fly a SPECIFIC type of Aircraft. Though they appear to heading in the right direction with the annoucement of investment in B737 simulators by Arik en co

To my knowledge, there is no where in Nigeria presently where you can be type rated either as a pilot/grounds engineer for a B737, A320, A340s, B747, B777 and not even the Q-400s, Q-800 and  the likes of E195. Very few countries can boast of such and certainly only Egypt and South Africa have a minute of those in Africa.

I have been to fly/training/simulation school in fanborough, i.e flightwise and I can tell you much of thier trainees are customers from outside the UK, and are often sponsored by thier airlines. That tells you something about the business of Aviation.

In the past, Nigeria had many type rated pilots flying some of the advanced commercial and military planes in the world but many since left the country following the dearth of Nigeria Airways.

The use of foriegn pilots/grounds maintainance engineers by most airliners is due mainly to the fact that most Nigeria trained engineers are not type rated to work on specific aircraft! It is onething to know how to carry out general aircraft maintainance, it is another to know how to carry out maintainance on specific aircraft flown by these airliners.
Boeing, I know too well will never sign off any maintainance carried out by grounds engineers not commissioned by Boeing, same goes with Airbus. Most of these expats grounds engineers are trained and type rated (by companies of permissioned by Airbus/Boeing) to work on these specific aircrafts, something home grown engineers are not known for.This further explains why these young generation of aero-engineers find it difficult to get jobs outside Nigeria unless those who go for type training which doesn't come cheap! Same story goes for cabin crew!

Where the problem lies squarely is the lack of dedication on the part of government to formulate policy and more importantly, strategically invest (while partnering with the private sector) overwhemingly in standard aviation facilities especially when it comes to training/simulation facilities.

Maybe the time to really do that is NOW- A $1bn dedicated to this with an investment span of 2.5years will reward the government over $10bn in less than 8years!

This is what you get when you build democracy around individuals and on institutions.

The difference between Awo and Tinubu is in the above. One built an institution of democractic ideological movement, the other is building a political empire without much ideology.

Every political party existing earth is either LEFT, CENTER LEFT, RIGHT and CENTRE RIGHT and each hangs on wether they be socialist-liberal thinkers, conservatives or social conservatives. The question goes begging for answers remains thus; Which one of these does ACN, and the TINUBU political empire fall into?

As much as I tend to vote ACN, mainly 'cos much of her candidates represent a better alternative,however, the party itself appears to lack any ideology and manner with which an individual within the party has turned it to his political 'heaven' leaves a sour taste in the mouth of voters like myself.

In as much as Tinubu's effort is appreciated by most ACN supporters, however when the call is too loud, it beckons that a genuine politician must embrace reforms, and the time is right for Tinubu to do just that; He either REFORMS or He DEFORMS.

There is so much that can be said of ACN, TINUBU(-saint or satan),and the burden of genuine ideological difference.

I hope to be able to posit and conclude a write up so titled: "ACN:leaning which way?"

Finally, this thought remains; will Tinubu be another Bola Ige? Hope not but only time will tell!

@ Eko Ile, can I kindly suggest that you soft pedal on your 'beyond doubt' position on Tinubu. While some of your reasoning in his defence seems acceptable, however permitt me to say that no true student of politics ever live to fight for man, rather the fight is over ideology. Thus it would be worthwhile if you expend that youthful vibrancy in making known the ideology Tinubu stands for and how this is reflecting in ACN, her goverment and ultimately the people be governed. Still I commend your effort, zeal and patrotism to the 'progressive train'.

There you have all the upto date information you require.

There is a document called POLICY GUIDANCE.It's in PDF and the current version is the one always uploaded to the website but be careful to read what is written at the bottom right corner of the front page. It often says the period from when the guidance becomes valid. PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT IN BLACK AND WHITE LIKE YOU READ YOUR BIBLE! It's tells you all you need to know about student visas application.

Hope this helps.

T9ksy:
Yeah right and what happened when the brits finally left?
Didn't the sardunna hated Awo's guts when the latter insisted on free education for all nigerians?
What's stopped all the mo.rons the north foisted on us from educating their people?
Instead they go about building ostentatious buildings with our collective wealth whilst their uneducated people are momentarily forgotten. That's until they are needed to creat bedlam in the country.

Oh how i wish this guy will just STFU and focus on the job we pay him for.
So he's a nigerian while his g/father is a northerner. who gives a rat.s arse what he deems himself to be.
Am a yoruba man and my forefathers were yorubas too.
How can i call myself a nigerian when an arab in faraway Afganistan can order a fellow nigerian to take my head and he will, without a second thought.

Where was this id.iot when northerners were killing southerners all because some white man in faraway denmark decided to drew an accurate picture of mohammed?

Where was he when northerners decided to kill southerners in their midst because they want to have their own blasted sharia as state laws?
Just listening to the guy makes me wanna puke. so it was our fault that we were not able to transform to been nigerians.
Dumb fo.ol! Has it ever occurred to this mofo maybe i don't want to be no-phocking nigerian?
So all those who lost their loved ones in all the so many mayhem in the north instigated by thier elites, should have readily transmuted to been nigerians? However, if they don't wish to see themselves as sharing the same passport as those who have just butchered their loved ones callously without justification, then its their fault.

Sanusi has just spoken like a true "BORN TO RULE" hausa/fulani.
So undeservedly arrogant and a novice revisionist, to boot.

So sad that you are still repeating what Sanusi's brilliant speech sort to address!

Lets face the facts; Quote omo_Tier1 "EVERY ACTION HAS AN INTENTION AND THE MOTIVE OF AN ACTION ONLY LIES IN PRESUMPTION UNTIL WORK (RESULT) IS PRODUCED"

Ask yourself the question, why wasn't Jim Ovia formerly of Zennith Bank who obviously is not Northern swept aside by same Sanusi? Rightly, Sanusi applied a guiding principle that when a man repeats an act over and over again, his skills reaches a peak and begin to diminish due to lack of focus!
That was exactly what we had in banking pre-sanusi and thank God Nigerians are the better for it.

Like Sanusi brilliant exposed, every tribe or ethnic group in Nigeria has an overly corrupt elite whose care only for thier belly at the expense of thier people and it is this ethno corrupt elite we need to deal with in Nigeria for us to truly have development.

I boldly dare you to name your tribe and see if a long list of individuals who have looted the treasury will not reel out from amongst.

Mr Poster in the same newspaper that you bring this good news regarding independent IPP'S also make the public know of the terrible decline of safety to lives, private porperty and general well being in Lagos of recent. To be sincere that more than anything comes first amongst all the other travails and upheavels  the city is going through. I thought Fashola gave the police new bikes, a helipcoter to combat crime and numerous APC why the sudden rise and surge in crime in Lagos.   

The upsurge in crime in Lagos would put off any would be investor. 

Mr realist,
it's really true to say that increase in crime in Lagos can be ajudged to the very same issue Fashola is trying to tackle, i.e. UNEMPLOYMENT. If most people have jobs to do, then the number of crime will reduce to a sustainable level. No doubt criminality is innate, i.e. one decides to still willfully but again willful acts are a consequences of external constraints which negates ones hopes, like the saying; an hungry man is an angry man!

Again compare to figures from other cities, crime in Lagos is still falling at a faster rate albeit the slight spike pre and post election, which would soon level out.

http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2011/june/09/national-09-06-2011-008.html

So finally, GEJ agrees that militants in Niger Delta, aka MEND, NDLF, and BOKO HARAM are terrorist! hmmm, could the PDP be adjudged as the number one terrorist in Nigeria going by GEJ's assertion and line of reasoning?

http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2011/june/09/national-09-06-2011-018.html

Why has EFCC allowed Akala to be on the loose? Surely, this man is a serious and potent danger to the society ! He should be arrested swiftly and sent before a judge for speedy trail in same speed in which He looted the treasury.

interesting! so from that article,Lasgos as a whole currently, can use all the possible Mega watt the FG can generate and even more,and I wonder how the FG came to the conclusion that 30,000 to 40,000MW stable electricity is what Nigeria currently requires when Lagos alone currently needs over 12,000MW!

http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/features/money/2011/june/09/Money-06-09-2011-001.html

This is why I will continue to have hope in my dearest country, Nigeria.With young minds like Fashola holding position of power with trust and respect, I am convinced rogue elements who often constitute themselves into zoning politics or do or die power worriors and rulers will soon become a past in our democratic experience.

May God continue to strengthen Fashola in all wisdom and may the fruit of his dedicated leadership not be in vain. In life he will be celebrated, for he has shown to be a light in the mist of the blackest of the darkness!

EKO oni , fill in the missing part please

I think the church has moved beyond Speaking Tongues now! Like Heb 12:1-3 rightly puts it, let us focus on those things that WE the body of christ should focus on, not babes talk like fasting, tithes, offering, speaking in tongues, homosexuality, lesbianism,etc

Lets move on to such things like the foreknowledge of God's love dimension!

manny4life:
Obviously service agreements or contracts I can understand which are heavily negotiated during acquisitions particularly in a service related business. Keep in mind as well this are existing contracts but (acquisition or not, they are bound to be honored) for instance if Bellview has a 2yr service agreement to a particular destination for (X$) million, acquisition WILL NOT change those terms) and please contracts do not add up to 1/3 of the said amount ($100million) given the size of the airline. First off let's starts out with what their service is like (types of service, hubs, et al, then talk of revenues) that way we can understand the size of their service.

I know Bellview had connected route to th UK via Monrovia and some Middle East and West Africa destinations. Also Bellview owned and also leased some B767 for thier long hauls and if First Nation is buying all that plus an committed orders already place by Bellview with MOEs, plus man power rentention and re-training plus DEBT PURCHASE and SERVICING,then the $300million may not be too much of an estimate. But then I ask myself, Ryan Air is said to be worth less than £1bn despite thier expansive routes and number of man power, aircraft, etc.

Simply put, TONGUES have nothing to do with the Pentecostals or any denomination, rather, it is the 'gifted language' of the recreated man in Christ Jesus as in,(2Cor 5vs17) when a man does what is written in (Ro 10 vs 9-10); and this is the evidence »» MARK 16 vs 17 "And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; THEY WILL SPEAK IN NEW TONGUES, " This is how my Jesus said (in a statement of fact)those who believe in him will be identified!

If you really want to get charged up then boy, you got to bust out in those tongues why you may ask , see 1Cor 14 vs 4-5.

Then,let me take you to 1Cor 14 vs 14-15 where Apostle Paul clearly shows you which is greater i.e praying/speaking in your understanding vs praying/speaking in Tongues. »Speaking/Praying are one and same!

Further, I will show you the secret of Apostle Paul's ministry success; 1Cor 14 vs 18 "I thank God that I speak in Tongues MORE than ALL of you" -WOW- He sure knew something is in it as We too have come to discover!

And in verse 19,He gives guidance on how not to get the babes in christ scared out in church when we come together.

In 1Cor vs22 it shows you this and I quote;
   "Tongues, then, are a SIGN, not for believers but for unbelievers; PROPHECY, however is for believers, NOT FOR UNBELIEVERS" , So where do you belong?

Then please take this home for yourself; 1Cor 14 vs 39.

However, there is even one much better; PROPHECY! But how then can a man prophesy if he is not charged up in the Holy ghost? When you release those tongues, you are speaking words not made for the understanding of the flesh-your sensual audibles-, you are giving instructions to angels in thier own languages, you are speaking the same language as the Spirit of the Father! Surely, something is bound to happen when you release those tongues with the WORD in Faith!

Please do not let the devil deceive you,Tongues are a very vital part of the successful christian living in today's world. I humbly recommend STUDYING the whole of 1Cor 14 and please humbly but aside whatever you might have heard or have been told about speaking in tongues and let the Holy Ghost minister to your spirit as you study that 1Cor chapter 14.

manny4life:
The topic is and response is quite misleading; did he buy it out or he invested into it, which one is it?

Well good one, but that news is somewhat incorrect or exaggerated because they said

In fact, Aviation workers claimed that the ex-governor could not have paid anything less than $300 million for the acquisition of the airline.

$300 million? Does anyone know how much is $300 million? How much non-depreciated assets (market value) not book value does Bellview Airline have? IMO, this is somewhat of a questionable transaction. In all, I give it to him,


As for those talking about Aircraft, I'm no engineer and won't claim to it but people have often preferred the newer regional aircraft than the Airbus model, Hey what do I know. I would rather fly on on 737 than airbus just my though.

Do not forget, since they are buying BellView, then many service agreement buyout MAY likely be involved, so yeah the cost of $300million isnt far off.

As for preference for new models of regional Aircraft, its a no brainer that new models have better performance ceiling compared to old ones. More so, most new model regional aircraft are more likely to be Turbo-props, meaning future take-off noise restriction may have little effect on them especially with EU's policy on noise. Ever close to the Airport to hear the sonic boom of these jet engines, with thier clinging fairlings, under carraiges etc.

Jakumo:
Nice Airbus, and very nice paintjob.    

For engine power and rough-weather stability, that A320 beats the Embraer195 regional jet used by Nigeria's other airline, hands down, but for shark-like sleek sexiness, the Embraer195 does have serious appeal, fer sure.

Dude, aircraft buisness got nothing to do with appeal!

A320 has her place but for faster Airport turn around <20mins, then give it to E195. Same goes for better climb performance, low service ceiling cruise then you can tip E195. However for fuel efficiency overall (especially for cruise), cargo, then A320 is your take.

But for me, with my working insight into many Airbus aircrafts, apart from the A330s, (Growth),A340 -500, A340-600 (Enhanced) which are all long hauls, I will pitch my tent with the Q-4s, Q-8s, E195, B737NX for short haul, quick climb and mid-service cruise like LOS - PH, LOS-BNI LOS-ABV.

For regional west Africa, sure its got to be A320-212retro or B737NX never A321! That is a no no fuel killer, lazy climb bird and long for nothing tolo-tolo.

Okay,, I thought this was a brilliant idea, then I tried to relay it to my home country Nigeria then I ask myself these questions;
where is the 24hrs electricity to keep it powered throughout the day?

How sure oluwole boys will not abuse this to carry out thier evil mission? 

Anyway, here's the link to the beautiful story.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/mobile/uk-england-london-13683578

Absolutely spot on! This what Jonathan should have emphasised rather than that shameful gathering of himself and the one eyed South Western criminal called Tinubu in the name of opposition parely.

I know the NASS has the constitutional powers to invite anybody so deem fit however, the President would put himself in good books of history by introducing another transparency form of process whereby NASS members in a joint session get to ask him or his ministers matters of national importance how ever trivial they may sound.

Again, I bold support your suggestions and it is highly welcomed in our system today!

With the never ending target killing of this group BOKO HARAM, which in my vivid opinion is a terrorist group, I wonder why Mr President has not used the full weight of the law against them. Yet, in our own land in the Niger Delta, He is happy to have JTF roam the street with so called operation restored hope.

is this is the sort of transformation headlines we will be seeing on our print screen for the next four years MR President?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/mobile/world-africa-13679234

Is it because much of the money they keep embezzeling comes from the Niger Delta hence the oil must continue flow at international market at all cost?

Does the Mr President not realize that failure to deal with Boko Haram will give strength to other groups meaning Nigeria could turn into Pakistan with Northern Nigeria now the Waziristan?

Why can't Mr President truly understand the damaging consequences of allowing one more targeted killing by this group will further raise concern that al-qaeda may use them as an off shoot for thier nonsensical global war on the West of which innocent Nigerians will end up been the victims?

What more can I say? My tongue is speechless, deep within 'm pained reading about this, however true the story might be. But my heart keeps reminding me of this;

least I submit to the Bible thus "The glory of ALL men is like the flowers of the field, though it be glorious at dawn, yet same be gone before sunset! Yeah All glory belongs to God almighty"

and then this;

"He that thinketh He be strong while others yet weak, taketh heart least thou falleth, for if your strength failest thou in the days of adversity, thy faith be small"

Haven read some comments attempting to defend the action whether the story be true or false, my prayer thus goes;

"God help me to stand on those things thou teachest me from my youth, like Paul commended unto Timothy, help me to stand firm in the truth I have learned of thee from my youth, for when I be weak, yea God be strong and thou oh God shall be my shield and fortress"

My heart goes out to Ryan Giggs, Natasha, Gigg's brother and children, Gigg's wife and children because in all these ONLY one person is having a laugh (albeit for a short while) and that is SATAN himself!

God have mercy!
