Hmmmm!!

I hope they are not trying to enact bring back our girls part 2 in order to frustrate Osibanjo??

That's the way to go!

If Nigeria must work, the ills of our history must be revisited and pain of those ills must be assuaged.

Osibanjo is a man of wisdom!

The sit on which Buhari tried to sit on belongs to him

Ambode is commissioning!
Wike is commissioning!!
Umahi is commissioning!!

Buhari and his commissioners are blaming Jonathan for thier failures 2 years on!!

Most universities in yankee allow you run two degrees at once:
Most people graduate with a major and a minor in 3 years. If you add up summer semesters to the mix, you can easily make it 2 majors.

It's not a big deal. I did same.

And by the way, you run an average of 5 courses per year. Not like Naira where I hear of people taking 10 -12 courses in a semester.

That might not be the case. IMO, the days of glut in Cassava are gone. The value chain has made sure of that. I can confidently tell you that the supply will not meet the demand at harvest time next year, mark my words. Cassava will finally earn it's name: "WHITE GOLD".

What new changes have happened along the value chain? Still the same Garri consuming the largest percentage of production. I haven't seen an increase in manufacturing of Cassava starch or any other by products by products. No improvement in preservation methods for raw Cassava. Nothing new in logistics. So what area of the value chain has seen an improvement that should help stomach the radical increase in production?

The increase is happening because the price of Garri went up so people figure it would be profitable and then rush in and then there is a glut and prices drop, people get burned and rush out and the circle keeps going.

We need to improve on our processing capacity for us to be able to preserve the excess production and probably start looking to create markets outside the country for the value added Cassava products

How the person get her number though

Same question I was going to ask.

Most likely he knows the lady previously and has transferred money to her account. That's about the only way an error can be made.

Something similar happened to me. I was trying to transfer money to my other account and I mistakenly selected a wrong name: a mallam that changes dollar for me.. And kaboom, the money was sent before I noticed. Sharperly, I called the mallam and asked him how much is dollar. Told him I have transferred so so amount and I'm coming to pick the dollar equivalent. That's how I saved my cash. If I told him na mistake, he might have denied that he received such an amount.

Raxxye:

Not only real estate!
You should have advised him to invest part of the 300 thousand naira to acquire an airline and the balance in car manufacturing.

You should be in Buhari's economic advisory team!

@OP, cassava farming is a good one. The crops aren't perishable and the demand, like most agricultural products, is ever high!
I intend dabbling into it too from next year.

Too many people have farmed cassava this year, which means during harvest next year, there would be serious glut meaning there would be difficulty finding markets for products and the prices would be so low! Sorry to burst our bubble!

Sorry but you have to abolish the states if you are to implement Regionalism. To have states and Regions is to make things much worse as you will have Regional Premiers, state Governors, Regional parliaments, state houses of assembly, national assembly. It would be too much and far more expensive than what we have now.

Nigeria did not used to have states, all these states are just mere military creations.

In Regionalism, the states have to go, the state assmbly's have to, the Senate has to go, the office of executive president and commander in chief of the armed forces has to go to be replaced by two new offices. The office of primeminister who will now hold executive power while the president of parliament will hold the title of commander in chief.

Also, many of the current Local governments will be merged with others to make 'provinces'. The old Eastern Region only had 20 provinces

Having states and regions should not automatically equate to having more and more layers of governance. Everything doesn't need to have a replica of the other. I'd recommend we abolish state houses of assembly and replace them with regional houses, but we should have state executives headed by governors. Having regions and scrapping states would leave us with the same old problem of over centralization.

Also, this idea of sticking to what was in the past is the problem with the African mindset. Who says we cant create something new that would work in this era. True, states were a creation of the military, that doesn't mean it should be discarded just because! We should seek a model that would take us into the future, not just something that was in the past.

My best bet would be like this:

The 6 regions and 36 states are the best geographical composition we can have in Nigeria today. So we should maintain that. I would have recommended an additional state in the South East to match up with the rest but I think that should be up to the south east to decide. But the landmass is small. If the entire South East were a state, it would be the 14th largest state in Nigeria meaning there are currently 13 states in Nigeria bigger than the 5 states of the South East combined. But then again, Lagos as small as it is stays bigger in GDP than the least 25 states combined.

I would recommend an executive President in Abuja to manage the country.
I would recommend six regional heads to serve as executives for the regions.
The state governors should be retained but state houses of assembly should be eradicated and replaced with regional houses.

Executives are responsible for development so we an have different layers for that as that requires everyday work. Lawmakers just make laws and sincerely their services are not needed daily

We need to come up with new solutions as deliberate extensively to see which would work out best. And es, if it doesn't work after trying it, we discard it and try something else!

We don't have to abolish states to implement regions same way we didn't abolish LGs to implement states.

But without question regionalization is the only way forward.

I was in Kaduna and Kano some months ago. In Kaduna at the central area, you have some tall buildings mostly built in the 60s that depict the glory days of the city. In Kano, you have some wonderful buildings mostly built in the 60s. Then you have numerous warehouses in Bombay industrial layout also from the 60s that indicate that it thrived greatly in an era before this.

There are hardly any new quality buildings in these two cities for the last 40 years.

Isn't it a clear indication that regionalism favored the North and the oil has not benefited it in any way? Why then would its leaders be opposed to

I didn't see the factory.

I only saw tape, pencils and plenty people.

It's far o. but I'm now used to it. what can one do but exercise away

Thats Kool. The amount of people I see trekking these days, I hope the sidewalks dont begin to develop potholes.
At least it has made ring road free of that insane traffic!

I think Edo is in for a wonderful ride with Obaseki!

All this nonsense propaganda APC dolts.
Not even a single link even if the link is from BMC.

The same Amaechi who wants to spend 100 million Naira to dredge entire River Niger in this BUHARI era of hyperinflation is the same one you said spent N120 million to renovate school.

Go and look for work you hear?

Who writes all these fake articles sef?

How did they come about their figures?

Did you check bank accounts? Did you value properties?
People just write nonsense.

Those monies written there are change for the men of God.

And truthfully, I don't think it makes sense valuing people in terms of finance.
And the whole Networth thing is a fallacy. How many of us know our Networth. How is it even freaking calculated with out thier consents? Is it even possible sef?

Tribe tribe tribe!!

What is tribe sef?

Tribe only exists on your tongue. It is what your parents tell you that becomes your tribe. It's actually a fallacy.

I know somwone whose father moved to the North before he was born. To gain favor from northerners, he and his wife changed their names to Hausa names. The boy grew up with the name Musa. He lost his parents and had to grow up with his neighbors. He wasn't told his tribe, he just assumed like everyone around him, he was Hausa. He hated Igbos of Sabon Gari with so much passion. One day he got into a bloody fight with an Igbo trader. He went back to his neighborhood to gather support. On getting there, an old man called him, sat him down and told him his history and let him know for the first time that he is Igbo. His perspective changed. He felt lost. He confirmed from neighbors and the story was true. He was the people he had always hated.

The moral is that the whole idea of tribe is technically not a reality. If the day you are born, your Yoruba parents decide to make you Igbo, they have the power to by simply giving you an Igbo name and telling you that you are Igbo. There is no part of our genetics that reads tribe.

Please what tribe is Michelle Obama?

Nonsense list.

And I'll tell you why!

Osibanjo is the man oh!!

Buhari move over!!

Look at the quality of reasoning!

xdos:
You think another successive govt would come in and reverse that policy? I dont think so.
I do also think that the govt would be working towards abolishing this 'higher than 1MW to National grid' policy.

That policy ehn is just terrible. I think it's 10 mw not 1 mw.

A very clear policy that would discourage any investment in the sector. I mean if not this insane policy, micro generation would have become popular in Nigeria where investors would build plants for affluent districts like say Lekki, Ikoyi, VI and take them off the national grid, allowing more power to be available to other less affluent districts

Osibanjo is the legitimate owner of the sir on which Buhari sits.

Buhari should speedily resign so we can start a journey of hope and leave this burden of Buhari's recession!

Where and when did the Oba make it clear that Kings of Lagos are Bini?

Only the first 3 kings of Lagos - Ado, Ashipa(Esikpa) and Gabaro were of Bini ancestry.

Gabaro had no child; this prompted his sister, a princess, to marry the Ijesha high priest at the time to produce the current line of Obas of Lagos.

Source: Documented history in the Lagos palace.

I don't know how to upload videos on Nairaland. So I will just post a link to the video.

"Only The first three kings of Lagos were of Benin Ancestry". Need I say any more?

Nothing existed in most of Lagos when the Binis got there. In just a few parts there were very tiny settlements without any centralized authority. A few Binis settled in and took charge. No war, no disputes which is an apparent sign that it was family settlements that existed and not tribal settlements. The Aworis were present. The Binis were present. And probably other tribes.

Now what beats my imagination is how an a Yoruba man from Osun would be screaming other tribes should leave Lagos that the city belongs to him when the entirety of Lagos Island is called Eti-Osa, a very clear Benin name.

But like I said, Binis are not claiming Lagos neither are we even claiming Benin. We are forward thinkers and don't glory in the past. We know for sure that the cities of the future would have citizens of every tribe so we have no interest in tribal ownership of a city.

ModsWillKillNL:


Only flatiyeasterners are trying hard to ascribe much of Lagos culture and heritage to Benin in order to spite Yorubas.

The Binis have NEVER deceived themselves as regards their status/place in Lagos and its history/heritage.

No true Bini man claims Lagos!

We know our history well. We have a better right to laying claim to Lagos than the Yoruba man from Osun or Ijebu has.
Even the Oba of Lagos in a video made it very clear who the real Kings of Lagos are.

But you know what, we are Binis and we live for the future not in the past. We believe that the cities that would thrive in the future welcomes all and sundry, notwithstanding race, tribe or creed. And that's why even Benin City where we are rooted is today one of the most multicultural cities in Nigeria.


Its only a lazy brain that would be arguing about who owns Lagos. Lagos is a future it and has welcomed all and sundry. Funnily I've never heard a true historical Lagosian argue about the ownership of Lagos. Its only those from nearby hinterlands that shout Lagos belongs to my tribe. What the heck does that even mean sef? Plots of land are sold out to individual owners and not to tribes!

Ok. I'm in Edo state. So that works pretty well.

How do I contact you?

And how much do you sell?

pafra:


Where is your location?
Which type do you want? I can supply the red or the white type

Do you mean purple skin? I need two types.
Purple Skin,. White flesh.
Orange Skin, Orange flesh.

Let me know your state, that would determine whether or not I'd consider buying.

I need a constant and consistent supplier.

What variety do you have and where is your location.

We make sweet potato chips in large quantities

Gross irresponsibility of the minister and his cohorts.

After they will come and tell us its because the previous government didn't do this or that well as all the things the like to take credit for were all built by the previous government.

The part that people should now watch out for is that part where they now repackage those drugs and stamp new expiry dates on them and start selling to the patients

Everything in Nigeria stopped since Oga Buhari came on board.

Even Eko Atlantic didn't sell a single plot of land for for a full year after Buhari came in.

Hmmmm!!

So a 40 year old man today was not born when Buhari was Minister of Petroleum!!

Hmmmm!

41 years after these men are still holding sway in Nigeria.

The truth is we yab as young people!

FriendNG:
Hahaha. Look at the hypocrites that support Sunusi when he speak against the north, are now insulting him. Shame on you illiterates.

To think that U see Sanusi's truthful advise to the north as speaking against the North is very sad!

He spoke the truth and that truth he spoke is the truth that if the north heeds would help finally set it free from the hang on other peoples resources.

Instead of just using mouth to say Nigeria will never split, why not start reviewing the fault lines to ensure that the existing cracks don't result in a split.

Imagine a building whose foundation is weak. The adult occupants keep telling the children, this house will never split and yet everyday the already cracking walls keep widening.

Instead of calling an engineer to assess the foundation, you keep saying this house would never split for the simple fact that you are the builder.

One day when the cracks are wide enough, just a little rain and the whole house would come down with all the belongings!

Nigeria is a sitting timebomb. And it's sad that while it's so easy to diffuse, some old men stuck in the idea of the 60s & 70s just keep repeating the rhetoric "Nigeria will never split".

Dzennifer:
Please. Without bias, Gov. Obaseki is doing great, especially stopping the tout collectors (lagos should learn) but this new development of buses coming from ekehuan road having to stop at mobil is just unfair from my standpoint. i know the good governor may have a vision but imagine pedestrians trekking from mobil to King's square. Please help those who do not have cars and can't afford cabs to come up with a new development. Infact, due to the "hiking", I have refused to go to ring-road since this by-force exercise started

Hiking is good for your health!! It helps us loose excess fat and look great in return! Mobil to Ring road is not far like that naa

donbrowser:

That was how Aregbe started, later he complained of embarking on world class project that he can't finish due to financial incapability.


Anyways kudos to Obaseki.

Obaseki is a financial wizkid! Funnily he has barely spent money on all the projects he is executing!

Dangote is basically providing the cement for the concrete. Once it's proven that this can work, the plan is to use the huge deposits of limestone in Edo state to make cement for the construction of over 3000km of road within the next 4 years.

For the Agriculture program he just launched which opens up over 5000 hectares of land for interested farmers, the state does the land clearing with existing equipments, while a private sector entity, Saro Agrosciences provides the inputs and the individual farmers provide the labor.

He basically uses leverage to achieve a lot!
