Billyonaire: A lot has changed since July 2012. Thanks for snooping around my threads. No permanent friends in Business and Politics.

Dude, you have been FRAMED The devil is a liar.... So you still can't use your brain to decode fraudulent companies? FYI, any serious western companies wanting to invest in any country worth billions of dollar usually will have some government backing for their investment.
I say this because I have first hand experience of this sort of transactions and to think Nigeria is even entertaining a company that has a book balance comparable to that of African Food seller in London just goes to show how stupid these people now think our leaders have become. after all, they know all these people care about is their own loot

taharqa: Hmm? 'PDP Advocate' ke? Bros, I support GEJ STRONGLY cos I bliv in him... I dont hv any time for any Political Party, esp d Big ones; they are ALL d same. I hv NEVER supportd d PDP whether here on NL or any where for that mata; same goes for any oda party

Nemesis is already catching up with this one...

tomakint: You may not want to believe this gospel truth but you are free to quote me when it will eventually happen, ACN will never regain Ondo State (I am talking as a son of the soil, so don't even go there), Oyo and Ekiti will likely lose their gubernatorial seats to the opposition party (probably PDP)! You can quote me

Stupid comment from a day dreamer.... better go get some wisdom

Wait... didn't the President said Boko Haram will be gone by JUNE 2012 ..Now it is 3 months declaration ...

Whala dey oh Oshio baba wants to cut that lanky man to size... chei.. Igbinedion better run to Abuja as He did in 2008 else He will run mad in Benin by the time Oshiomhole finishes with Him.

Obasanjo = Odi
GEJ = Baga

Will the blood of the innocent die in silence? Weep not my country

The billions should be channeled to other areas (education, as u said). The ASG should have only provided the land.

Correct! Any sane government would have done just that. Lease the land to the investors at a discounted rate and ensure they have the lease gazetted and the duration of the lease clearly specified therein.

Abians have themselves to blame if they fail to realize the good leaders amongst them and ensure those good leaders take over the reign of governance in that state. As at today, it is painful to say Abia has gone to the dogs

talktimi: Damage control, the ESGovt would have made sure no major Tv or radio station carried the news to avoid embarrasment to our comrade governor..

Look that is the beauty of true democracy. Not all every one is going to support you and there will be elements who will object to your leadership. There is no reason whatsoever for EDSG to have barred any press man or woman from covering what happened at the EDSIEC HQ. The true test of any leader is when they are accused, they prove their accusers wrong by doing what is right. Anyone who has evidence of manipulation of the election should provide evidence forth with and I am sure Oshiomhole will be the first to denounce the election in that LGA and demand a re-run.

it is One Man One vote!

WELCOME TO THE CITY OF OLODONISTAN Others are spending billions in Education, the other is spending billions in clock up kioks What an Irony

If PDP has evidence to demand the cancellation of any polling unit where manipulation took place, let them provide it and I am sure Edos will demand for a re-run of the election.

I for one will not support manipulation of elections!

Results of 14 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in the council elections in Edo state have been released and the ruling party; the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) is reported to have won in all 14 council areas out of the 18.

[size=13pt]But the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called for the cancelling of the entire results over what it calls, “serious manipulation of results” by the ruling party in the state.[/size]

Briefing the media today, in Benin City, the chairman of PDP, Mr Dan Orbih, alleged that the figures released by the state’s electoral body are “clearly doctored figures, so are unacceptable.”

So far the state electoral commissioner has agreed to hold fresh elections in some local government areas of the state.

The Edo state Independent Electoral Commission (EDSIEC) on Saturday postponed the conduct of local Government elections in Ikpoba Okha and Oredo Local Government Areas.

EDSIEC chairman; Solomon Ogoh said the elections were rescheduled due to inadequate materials.

He announced that fresh elections will be conducted in the affected areas on Thursday next week.

Kingsley OGBITI: @dapachez you called me a tortoise i will say God Bless You Richly. The news was showed in ITV 7:30pm News on Sunday 21st April 2013 and also showed today being 22nd April 2013.

Can you also tell us the results of the 14 LG Council where elections took place peacefully

Let Him that is stupid remain stupid, soon the jokes will become weeping and garnishing of teeth, and these same ones will call on the rocks of the north to fall on them but to no avail will the rocks answer! Be wise, fear God and preserve yourself from destruction. I really feel sorry for many who are raising their hands against what is bigger than them... in the days of ignorance, God overlooks.

Some of you struggling today, having graduated from a good university yet cannot afford to feed yourself, if only you knew it was that laughter, that giggling, those words you uttered against Gods elect when you were in secondary school, when that brother/sister was heading for fellowship on campus, that has turned against you, for real, you would curse that day and wished it never dawned on you.

God's kingdom is expanding, the gates of hell shall never prevail against it. Living Faith church has built a church to bring in more harvest into the kingdom, yet many here are castigating Gods works. But remember, on that day, this thread, yes I mean this Nairaland thread will be replayed before your very eyes, and your spirit will recall vividly how you knowingly and glaringly took swipe at God's own House.

Be wise, if you do not know, stay quiet, or better keep praying to God who holds all things in His hands and sees all things.

2bosun: Nigerians and other residents in the country received a total of N33.6billion or $21billion last year in remittances from their relatives, friends and business associates, the World Bank has said.

http://thenationonlineng.net/new/business/n33-6b-remitted-to-nigeria-in-2012-says-world-bank/

This figure is a conservative estimate IMO and even at that, is somewhere around 10% of GDP; some people then accuse people abroad of doing nothing to move Nigeria forwards. Here's your evidence.

$21billion @ N150 to $1, that should be N3.3 trillion Hmm.. Nigeria press ...

noblezone: To compare Obama and Jonathan, you have to compare America and Nigeria.

Nigeria is not america. While I am not defending his silence, I am saying we should stop this silly comparisons .

But when it comes to buying jets, exclusive cars and taking 120 people on travels, you are quick to point out America and Her presidential fleet movement. You bet grow some sense else visit www.yabaleft.com

[quote author=uj_sizzle]dude are you from Nise??


@Topic. cos we women are a bit more spiritually inclined than the male folks.
We don't have as stubborn a spirit as most men do.
We tend to believe more without doubt which works both in our favour and to our detriment too. The former makes it possible to let the Spirit of God into our life and take control of us. The latter leaves us susceptible as victims to this mindless world and wicked people .[/quote]I thought the bible said all who have received Christ are by One same Spirit and that there is neither male nor female in Christ? So which Spirit do you have?

You believing can not move the Spirit of God, only Faith in Gods Word does.

Niseamaka: God did not give you your MIND or brain to be docile and passive and accept situations hook, line and sinker. There`s nothing wrong in asking questions about things we do not understand, including questions about things of the spirit.

There are things God has "willed" to reveal to the sons of men, other has He kept for Himself for His own glory. To the one who is canal, His MIND takes charge of Him and can lead Him to ask all manner of questions, but to the one who is born of God's Spirit, His Spirit takes charge and He discerns things by the power of the Holy Spirit and through the Word of God.
You can never be clever than your maker... watch it before He hands you over to Satan.

soon they will ask.. why was Jesus born of a woman, nee a virgin .. there are some questions you do not bother to ask in public as you may end up heaping a curse on your head.

groovie: She resemble winchhh with her make-up. abi is she acting a whinchy role at AMAA?

How do you know what a witch look like? Are you one of them? Else I cast and bind you IJN and the church say..Ameeeen

Yes! We in the diaspora represent Nigeria anytime any day! I guess many people never knew she was British-Nigerian and even amongst those who watch the sitcom in the UK. Shame how soon people figure out you are from Nigeria they often ask the question : How come there so much negativity in the country

asha 80: then if that is the case onitsha is more developed than benin since cash transaction is higher in onitsha than benin.

You do not use one component.. Go back to the link. I posted in the update to my post... That will give you a better perspective on development and its sustainability. Development encompasses not just trade and commerce, but infrastructure, culture and well being.

asha 80: then you probably have not been to the countryside of developed nations.i wonder how urbanised they are but they are still developed.migrating to some places that are urbanised does not necessarily mean those places are developmed.it can mean there more cash exchanging hands in that location.development goes beyod people erecting houses indiscrimately everywhere in an area or packing themselves like sardines in an area.

Can I candidly advice you to consult the dictionary and check for the definition of urbanisation? A place cannot be urbanised if it has not got a comparative advantage to other places, hence the reason an urbanised area is developed. It becomes subjective what you call development. Your example of country side being developed is a misnomer else they would not be called countryside aka glorified name for rural area. Going by your example again, money will exchange hands only if the sophistication in trade and commerce of that place is more developed compared to the other places, again this does not fit in the definition of development according to the United Nations habitat...http://www.un-documents.net/ocf-02.htm

God bless you for your patience and wisdom, the problem with Nigeria is the very Nigerians living within. Some of those transport companies ought not to be in operation giving past cases of recklessness.

Why should the driver stop to pick passengers along the road? Why would the manifest be improperly done? Is there a separate monitoring unit to check the conduct of the drivers on the roads. FRSC ought to stop and check the drivers for trace of alcohol in their breath especially the transporters.

My brother, is it not worse than even the brother of the deceased rather than campaigning for a change in law and putting the nefarious act of Young Shall grow drivers on the stop is busy running from one office to another looking for compensation! That tells you the mind set of the average Nigerian ...

Sincere 9gerian: This governor Okorocha and his aides are embodiment of jokes and comedy. What is the sense in flying the governor abroad for "minor" injuries on his forehead? Even if there are no hospitals that can perform and interprete CT scans in Imo, what about Abuja? Certainly such medical services and more are available in Abuja. Even in Enugu and many other Nigerian cities, CT scan can be performed with the same professionalism that is obtainable anywhere in the world. I was so impressed with Kogi state governor who opted to receive treatment in Nigeria after he sustained fractures from road traffic accident. But for Rochas, I'm hugely disappointed. Besides the verbal diarrhea, Rochas seems to be empty.

Where is the sense in flying Alison Madueke to london for ordinary Appendicitis Oh how about Mrs GEJ who went on "holiday" on a death role bed in Germany? Some of you think we all have short memory...

Yes no body condones any politician failing to provide the medical facility to her people and rushing abroad for medical treatment, but trying to score cheap political point by ailing to condemn all involved is sickening...

Like the dog that you are known to be... Never barked at His own master...

Goddex: Punch is just one irresponsible and deceitful paper. The US state Dept report does not rquire this kind of mischievous, misleading and sensational title. The issues raised in that report are not new.

Will you shut up else face the message and not the messenger! Shameless human being accursed from the womb! If the wordings in that report is not damning enough to reach the same conclusion as Punch then you are worse of all human beings ...

asha 80: urbanisation does not mean development.i will rather live in a small town right in middle of forests that have quality schools,pipe borne clean water,constant electricity and good security,effecicient means of transporting goods and services in and out of the town rather than living in a big urban jungle.

You cannot be using the word urbanisation and small town in the same sentence. Go figure out what urbanisation really is before you come here and spew rubbish ..

asha 80: urbanisation is not development.

Urbanisation is not development, can a state be urbanised and yet not developed? What are the indices of an urbanised state compared to a developed one? The reason people will move from A to B is because B is seen as a better place to live, I.e. more developed than B. Hence Urbanisation and development goes hand in hand.

[quote author=Bob_E]From the type of election they just conducted this morning in Edo state, talking about the local government elections, no body in Nigeria will vote for them. They are doomed already.[/quote]Need I remind you that the National Assembly 2011 elections did not hold as initially planned and was postponed due to technical glitch according to your PDP led government Sorry you lost your relevance in the scheme of things, Nigerians are ready to send PDP packing come 2015 and Nigerians will get international backing to do just that. Enough is. Enough, whether APC. Onto, this GEJ must not come back in 2015. Nigeria has been decimated beyond words in His reign and it is time to turn the page for development and REAL prosperity!

Is this the same state the senate President is from PDP is evil I tell you!
