Not there but his word is final

ONLY God's word is final. Nobody's word is final.

Sharing the same ethnic group is the highest form of relationship.
Weren't 30k killed in the Northern part of Nigeria for that?
Weren't more than Half of Tutsi wiped in Rwanda for that?
Weren't an entire Armenian population in Istanbul wiped for that?

You just buttressed my points.


The evils committed against these people would have been avoided if the perpetrators had avoided dangerous generalizations , selected the individual who offended them for appropriate punishments.

nzeobi:
What happened during end SARS showed tinubu that he is not popular and that he is well hated in his immidiate environment.

If electronic voting is adopted in Lagos believe in 8 years, his empire in Lagos will collapse completely because it's not about the people but about his interests only.

But Tinubu is not a member of the National Assembly. Honestly I don't know why this PDP chairman thinks Tinubu is to be blamed for some senators not voting for what he prefers.


He could have made his points without unnecessary pettiness of bringing Tinubu, a private citizen into the matter but he thinks his voice won't be heard unless he mentioned Tinubu's name.

Vulcanheph:
I think it's SW although I'm SS .... I have hardly met nairalanders in my state, most times I ask people I meet here if they know nairaland and most of them have never heard of it.

This remind me of my experience at Damaturu, Yobe State in 2010 when I was working there.
I asked some guys /ladies we worked together if they knew Yahoo Boyz. To my greatest surprise, many of them wrongly assumed that Yahoo boy is a particular boy.

One guy got me laughing when he said he hasn't seen him but I should ask Mallam Mukaila if he has seen him. Only lady, Hajia Falta who schooled at Maiduguri, Borno which is more developed had a faint idea. She said that Yahoo boys are 'guys who carried Laptops'

Jerryherd:



Ibos


If you want to check this out, just tease them or create a Tinubu thread and watch the thread reach page 20... Emotional people, easy to troll

.

I can't just stop laughing!

Antoeni:
I don’t support an open lavish spending but the writer get it wrong or he is misinformed, Obi Cubana is a graduate of university of Nigeria Nsuka and 99% of those rich guys attended were graduates. What makes them different is they were shot out of getting a federal job after school so they invest there knowledge in modern way of making money, many of them are YouTube stars, internet gurus who invested heavily in online trade while keeping low for years.

The point you mentioned 'shot out of Federal Job' got me laughing hysterically.

Were they 'shot' with a revolver or AK-47?

HOVER206:
But Deji spoke the truth

The truth is bitter.

Many people who are in no way related to the man other than sharing the same ethnic group started abusing anybody that express reservations about the lavish party , accusing them of envy and/or hatred.

nnamdi640:
Igbos have really suffered on you guys hands. When has it become a crime to hold big burial ceremony party for one's late mother. Am sure they will throw face away assuming it was one Fulani guy that hold this kind of party. Hope they knew that Tinubu did more than this during the last election? Hypocrisy will surely destroy some people's lives.

Do Fulanis do burial ceremonies?

AchalugoNwa:
I hate doing tribalism but yorubas are heavily jealous of Igbos
they see everything as competition with igbos
Igbos live rent free in their heads.
ask a yoruba man why he hates igbo so much, you'll be amused by his reason.
very envious sets of people
well if you pass person you don pass am be that.

look at that foolish Deji comparing Hushpuppy to Obi Cubana

lol they think nite club na paupa business
same nite club a celebrity will spend nothing less than 2 million a night
and to think this club is scattered all over Nigeria.


Honestly yorubas should stop these silly competition with igbos

If you have problems with individuals, sort it out with such persons and stop bringing tribes into it.

Deji Adeyanju , in his capacity as an individual adult capable of making inferences on his own ,made his comments about Obi Cubana. He never mentioned Igbo people as a whole.

There are millions of Yoruba people who have never heard of Obi Cubana, so to make a generalized statement that the Yorubas hate or are envious of him is gross immaturity.

selemempe:
it's unlikely. However there may be people with personal assets (homes, jets, yachts) worth more than Dangote's

Another thing to consider is that Dangote's parents were rich. These Igbo billionaires of today had no assets in 1970

Do you think it's houses, Jets and yachts that make Dangote the richest man in Africa?

Even at that, all these Jets and yatchs are more of liabilities than assests.

NewDelhi:
A person worth 100k can look richer than someone worth 1M. Even celeb footballers like pogba, Messi, Beckham no worth 1B . Those American actors and singers are barely worth that amount with the kind of extravagant lifestyle they live yet you believe one Bushman from anambra worth billions of dollars. Do you know how extremely rich you can even look with just a million dollars in your account?

Don't mind these funny people.


1) There are over 6 Billion people in the whole world.

2) Only about 600 people in the whole world have wealth equal to or greater than $1 Billion.

Ernerstdavid55:
Who be jowi zaza

[quote author= post=103791475]Obi is a young billionaire, he is major importer of most expensive wines, brandy etc, Igbo have older generation billionaires in dollars Obijaackson, ABC Ojiakor, Emeka Offor, Arthur Eze, Tony Elumelu, Jim Ovie, Emeka Okwosa, Uju Ifejika, Alien Onyema, Orji Kalu and host of others these generation you compare to, not Obi Cubana[/quote]These older generation of business men are rich and contributing to the development of their communities and the country at large with verifiable and traceable sources of income.
However,they aren't Billionaires in dollars.

GeneralPula:
Religion isn’t to be blamed, wickedness in the hearts of men should be blamed..

How come Worshipers of Aiyelela, Amadioha, Egbesu, Ogun, Olokun and Shango don't have this violent tendencies to kill anyone who says anything unpleasant about their deities?

TarOrfeeek:
An indictment of the FG of Nigeria sectional construction and repair of roads.


While the roads in Niger Republic are well tarred with Oil money earned from the SE, roads in the SE are left bare and erosion prone.

This what we agitate for. Use our money to fix our problems. Before building rail tracks to Chad abi Somalia

Call the attention of your Local Gov't.

Townships roads are under the responsibilities of Local Gov'ts.

YourNemesis:
Igala is like an old Yoruba substrate speech that has received lots of infusions from "strange" (so to speak) languages from Jukun to Idoma to Igbo (In the southern extremities like Ibaji. With all these additions, it has somewhat morphed into something else.
some consonants seem to have also mutatedd in Igala and deviated from what seem their original form.

i.e R to L, J to BI, N to L
For example

Eje (Seven) = Ebie
Aja (Dog) = Abia
Ori (Head) = Oji
Ale {Night) = Ane
Enu, Arun (Mouth) = Elu/Alu
Akere (Frog) = Akele
Orun (Sun) = Olu
E.tc

Yoruba and Igala languages are like/akin to Igbo and Ekpeye (I hope I am right)
Short speeches are more understandable to speakers of both than longer discussions.

I.e

I am Hungry
Yoruba: Ebi n kpa mi
Igala: Ebi a kpa mi

Come and let's catch Fish:
Yoruba: Wa ka kpa Eja
Igala: Wa ka kpa Eja

Let us bring / pull ourselves together, and stay together.
Igala: Je kafola wa mola, kajo kpai ola wa
Yoruba: Je Kafara wa mora, kajo kpelu ara wa

God, Give/bring me a child
Olorun, Gb'omo fun mi
Ojo, Gb'oma du mi

Listen to me, I am eating three black Bananas (unripe) with yams tomorrow.
T'eti gbo mi, Maa je ogede dudu meta kpelu Isu ni ola
N'eti gbo mi, Naa je ogede dudu meta kpai utsu ni ona.

Give the watch onyour hand to me
Mu ago owo e fun mi
Mu ago owo e du mi



Overall, I can get the general "hint" of what an igala person is saying, but nothing concrete.

This is interesting!


Igala farmers arriving in Osun find it very easy to understand what people are saying but they can't easily speak Yoruba language with ease as they understand.

Omoslim26:
In plain words,they are saying IMO has 500k jobless people, while Borno has 200k jobless people.
IMO State is in the Top ten most productive states in Nigeria so they should have more job creation than a terror savaged Borno.

It depends on the research methodology.

For instance ,if the definition of unemployed is 'self identification' like asking in a questionnaire ' do you consider yourself employed'?

Some (educated) people in I'm State may tick 'unemployed' because they are yet to get their desired jobs in NNPC, Glo, Zenith Bank even though they are currently helping their brothers to sell goods in the Markets with at least #50K allowance per month.

However in rural Borno where most people don't even consider themselves eligible for white collar jobs, they will say they are employed even if they are actually 'mai suya', Keke drivers, Mai Ruwa, Ginger farmers etc.

rdokoye:
Then why isn't Kano, the most populated state there? Northern Nigeria is one of the poorest regions on earth, yet, everyone has a job? That doesn't make sense.

Again, the context is different.

The statistics is NOT measuring wealth but the NUMBERS of people unemployed.



I think you first need to ask 'what exactly do them mean by 'unemployed'? You need to read and understand what's the case definition of 'unemployed' Nigerian.

IGBOSON1:
Hehehehehe

All these Yemi Kales’ Nigerian ‘statistics’ sef! Their only use is for ‘feeling superior, feeling funky and dick measuring’....not much else!

The problems with most Nairaland commentators about Statistics is that they want the Statistics to reflect their preconceived notions and assumptions (largely fueled by tribal bigotry) by bringing in extraneous issues totally different from what the Statistics really measure or set out to measure.

Oshokalo:
Yeye analysis,una dey count both people who left their villages come lagos

The topic is limited to the numbers of unemployed Nigerians in each State and no data on their villages was collated.

Omoslim26:
Where did you get such narrative from.
It's all about job opportunities,job creation.
You can have a glamorously populated enclave with nothing to show for it in terms of employment.

The topic is about the NUMBERS of unemployed Nigerians.

1) State A: Total population= 1000
Unemployed people= 200

2) State-B: Total population= 400
Unemployed people= 100.

Question: Which of the two States above have

a) the highest numbers of unemployed people?

b) the highest unemployment rate?

Omoslim26:

Did you read the post at all or you are just commenting based on your preformed opinion (which may actually be valid but not applicable to the topic because it measures something else)?

[quote author= post=103686977]Fake news

Anambra ranked lowest in unemployment[/quote]The Channels TV news you qouted was about the same NBS statistics but it was for Q2 2020( April-June,2020) and it was about UNDER-EMPLOYMENT which isn't exactly the same thing as unemployment.

KILLTHECOWS:
North is this lucrative yet your people see south as their AMERICA..
you can't be telling yourself lies haba.

The guy is correct.

However you need to know that being employed is NOT the same thing as being rich.

The people planting, harvesting and transporting carrots, water melon, tomatoes, groundnuts, sugarcanes, beans, onions, millets pepper and potatoes are all employed but may or may not be rich.

KILLTHECOWS:
Those northerners shining shies,are they employed or unemployed?
Asking for a friend.....

They are employed, being employed is not the same as office works or just about white collar jobs or even about being rich.

Omoslim26:
What has employment got to do with population �.

The topic talked about ' numbers' of unemployed Nigerians. This has to do with population.

In places where there are few people , the number of unemployed people will also be few.

Grandkay21:
Why Anambra, even Delta state here am living that is only the non indigenes are the one working

So Indigenes of Delta State wake up every morning and roam about the streets or sit in their houses doing nothing while the non-indigenes work to provide the daily needs of the Indigenes?

Omoslim26:
So you are saying that Borno has more Employed persons than IMO state?.��
Nonsense stat.

What's the total population of Borno Vs Imo State?

OriakuAmara:
I want to know something
Is warri a total itsekiri land? I thought urhobos,isokos are part of warri?
Shouldn't the title be Olu of Itsekiri instead of Olu of warri inorder to maintain peace

The original Warri is an Itsekiri-land but the city has now extended into Urhobo and Ijaw territories.

xpressionx:
Do you think there are no persons interested in the licence?
Why must it be only dangote?

1) Numerous companies got license to build Refineries

2) Apart from Dangote ,there are other Refineries in different stages of completion, sizes and operations e.g Orient Refinery in Anambra State, Walter Smith Refinery in Imo State and Edo Refinery in Edo State.

4four:
1st did u read the whole article? If yes can u point to the part he mentioned TRIBE?
2ndly if u truly read the whole article with open mind u Will get the logic or sense op was trying to point out, in summary he was saying may be in the future all this so call license holders with working refinaries may decide to abandon their refinaries 2moro if the cost of production is too high in the country and be importing from other countries with much lower cost of production but if u know that other will join the party if u abandon ur refinaries then they will seat tight,
The same thing was implemented in Suger refinaries some of them have abandon their plant and importing brown sugar to refine.
LASTLY MONOPOLY WILL NOT IMPROVED ANY DIEING ECONOMY, IT WILL ONLY ENCOURAGE EXPLOITATION OF THE ECONOMY

You are contradicting yourself;

1) The OP wrongly insinuated that only Dangote and NNPC will be importing fuel but you are talking of those who have Refineries.


2) Operators of Refineries (note the plural) is NOT the same thing as Dangote.

jabolo:
This bill has been in development since 2000-wetin? Investments have been held up while it's been published in various fora and your elected representatives over several senate sessions have been involved in debating it.

Then it was finally passed. The international investment community breathes a sigh of relief.

Why the mischevious 'monday morning quarter-backing'? Often selectively put out there to inflame ethnic tensions? There are indeed mischevious forces at play in our nation and you have a responsibility not to dash them your brain.

==

The issue discussed by the OP relates to product shortfall. That means demand that exceeds local production for whatever reason especially in the short term. If that reason is as a result of local refinery downtime or malfunction, the license holders should have an opportunity to import fuel to cover their foregone production. I'm thinking the players in the industry inclusing Dangote, Walter Smith and other potential modular refiners, not necessarily useless NNPC.

It is unclear even if this is going to be profitable because, remember, they have invested in their own refineries and have to service the debts so idle capacity is never to their overall benefit.

Currently, our fuel importers are made up of 'rent-seekers' - corrupt parasites with little or no investment in domestic production capacity and no interest in that direction. If this bill incentivizes them to set up refineries to stay in business, it's a win for the country.

Thank you for this explanations to them.

The OP and most of the posters on Nairaland place tribalism above economic all considerations.
