Of the six geopolitical zones only south south is contributing good to national purse south East is not even among top 4 sit down boy

Oga there’s nothing like the south east or the south south in the real sense. It is the Eastern region n there is oil n many other resources in the region

Clothingonline9:
Olodo so you don’t know Nigeria has 6 regions south south is one

Olodo of the highest order
We don’t have 6 regions we have six geo political zones.
We have three major regions, the eastern, western n northern regions.Abatcha created those 6 geopolitical zones for political reasons.

Low mentality Lagos has been an independent State since 1861, that's the main problem with Nigerians, they don't read, and don't know their history, even when it was western Nigeria, Lagos was its own colony (state).

The wealth in Ikoyi, and Victoria Island alone will buy the whole of port Harcourt.

Ignorance will not kill nairalanders
Oga for your info Lagos became a colony of the British in 1861, before then they paid tributes to the Benin empire. Secondly Lagos was called federal capital territory not its own colony . In case u still don’t understand,in simple words it was declared a no mans land or better still it was owned by all Nigerians. This is where the development of Lagos started... with its status as the federal capital territory it was governed by the federal government. The federal government brought massive developments to the state with monies gotten from other regions , and this attracted a lot of indigenes from other regions . So in other words Lagos was basically developed by the federal government n non indigenes especially Ndigbos .
For your info the wealth in ikoyi n vi cannot be traced to Lagos as a state or to its government. The wealth in those areas are owned by Nigerians at large . At a point in time Ojukwu’s father was said to have owned more than half of the lands in ikoyi. Besides the wealth in Bonny island alone, an island that hosts the NLNG, shell, Mobil, chevron and agip can be said to be more than all the islands in Lagos.
I know some ignoramus would start claiming they also have those companies in Lagos , they forget that those are mere offices, the real wealth is in the drilling of the oil.

Clothingonline9:
Are you drunk which East ?Abia or Ebonyi or IMO
Ondo have crude oil than any state in south East
Only south south which is only 4 state hv crude oil in commercial quantity and Lagos Airport and seaport generate revenue more that all south south combine.
Remove south East when it comes to revenue contribution

Its clear u are a learner
Most of what you typed are very very laughable
There’s nothing like the south east or ss it is the eastern region , and that is the region responsible for 85% of Nigeria’s revenue. Go ask because I know u lack knowledge the seaports n airports in Lagos are negligible in terms of revenue to the federal government.

Lagosfinder:
Rivers is good Lagos is best
Hope you aware Lagos economy is the economy of the nation(5th largest economy in Africa)

Lagos would be absolutely nothing without the money from oil coming from the eastern region

0m0nnakoda:
Rivers state doe not produce the greatest part of the nations wealth



Oil @ $100 X 2million barrels a day X 365 days a year =$73 billion

Lagos state has a GDP of $ 136 billion

NIGERIA has a GDP of $380 billion

Now Rivers state does not produce most of Nigeria's oil and oil is very far from $100

People need to wake up and stop parroting the same tired rubbish.

Lagos is position for the future, oil is the past

You are the most ignorant person in this forum

Gerrard59:
That is what you should be asking him 'cos it seems he did not tell you the truth. To further illustrate why it sounds odd that he left Total to become an Uber driver in the US, the current CEO of Total Exploration Nigeria has been there since he finished his NYSC in the late '80s. Why would he leave Nigeria's highest paying IOC when nowhere is likely to pay him his remuneration he gets at Total?

Oga u don’t get the point . You said in your initial post that total staff earn the same as their counterparts abroad. If that is true he will never have left. Its simply because an Uber driver in USA earns more than a total staff in Nigeria, but am sure a total staff in the USA earns more than an Uber driver there in the US.You saying the head of total is still there till now is totally inconsequential cos some ppl are just mediocres. I know of some one who today is one of the richest men in rivers state . He worked for an oil company left in no distant time and started his own company today( belema oil). Just go ask any one that works in any of this iocs , tell them to show u their pay slip n you will truly understand . They are well paid compared to other companies in Nigeria I agree, but not to the extent of a fresh graduate earning more than 500k or 600k how much more 2m + per month .

Gerrard59:
That's his business and not anyone else. What are his qualifications? Was he a permanent or contract staff at Total? BTW, how is the information wrong? So because your friend who no one knows his profile is doing seemingly below the standard of an ex Total "employee", then people should not believe a fact stated by a website owned by an actual employee in the industry whose qualifications can be seen and verified.

My friend has a masters in electronic engineering from a university in the uk. He is very well qualified.although he tells me he is looking for a better job, but the point is why will he leave his job as a total staff , if the pay is as lucrative as its counterpart in USA.
Note.... he left for greener pastures.

BabaOwen:
the kin ignorance you displayed with this your comment eh!! Only God save you.

Keep deceiving yourself with inflated n bogus figures
I know a lot of oil workers n I have seen some of their pay slips. No fresh graduate earns More than a million naira per month. Most earn to 300 to 500k

Gerrard59:
You can believe otherwise but generally IOCs pay their staff in Nigeria to what their colleagues earn overseas because they could be posted to work there and vice versa.

I wonder who keeps feeding you ppl with all this wrong informations.
A very good friend of mine , was a staff of total. But this guy resigned his job n migrated to usa with his family. Guess what he is doing there now
An Uber driver.

JAMO84:
Innoson does not produce anything. He only assemble China made car components.

He should produce one good ventilator to prove he can do it, the attention will follow!!!

I AM DONE TALKING

Senseless talk as usual

tricksters:
Igbos Wan die on this thread. You complain that Indonesia is giving Nigerians in their country 50KG bag of rice. Buhari submitted proposals for 500 billion to buy the same rice for you but your bigoted soul is already wailing sorrowfully.

Do you want Buhari to buy the 50KG bag of rice they shared in Indonesia with his own money for you in Nigeria or what I don't understood ?

Is that what the topic suggest to you
If I call you olodo now....

Lol,
And the hype continues, an entry level gets almost 2.5 m as salary in a month. Bloody lies . Believe this n you are the biggest April fool in the world.

back2sender:
Thank you my brother. People just start praising anything without due diligence if it's newest standard. If not I can call an aboki and tell him to sew clothes as mask for me.
Finally surprised this man is been praised when the state is classified as the worst in the south east by people from that axis

Isn’t it the same way u afonjas are praising sanwolu that has been performing so poorly only for him to suddenly be forming active during this corona virus period.

Openbusiness:
I will rather use a bra as face mask than wear this rubbish. Do people think face mask is just about sowing cloth together? The manufacturing must follow certain medical architecture, like the diameter of the mesh of the fabric material, the thickness and what not. This people think facemask production is something any Tom dick and Harry tailor can do. No, it's a standard manufacturing process with quality checks processes involved. I pity those who wear this rubbish. Coronavirus go show una pepper

Jealous n bitter soul
Na you corona go show pepper if u no wear am.
This is even far better than the trash they import from China. Having the same filters n can still be reused.

Tomorrow some ppl would say ogun state is the manufacturing hub of Nigeria.... one single thing we’ve not seen them produce. At least 95% of products manucfactured in their so called state are owned by either local foreigners or international foreigners yet they compare themselves with ndigbo known for industrialization, creativity,craft, n sheer brilliance.

Guy, this has absolutely nothing to do with stds or stis.
This is a fungi infection. Fungi infections could be really really stubborn. U have to be very studious n meticulous in taking your medications, otherwise you would see no effect after taking your drugs or medications.
Go get about 4 packets of ketoconazole tabs n take one tab a day for four to five weeks non stop. Also buy this cream mordam cream n apply it day n nite.
I will also recommend you buy a bottle of Ruzu bitters to clear your system.
Note.... The ruzu bitters should be used after completing the 5 weeks dosage of ketoconazole tabs.
Thank me later.......

ifykris22:
Imagine making a. Mask without wearing hand gloves... The difference is clear... See difference

What do U need gloves for?

mharyamikeola92:
Pls help me move this to front page.

I am a working class lady and I hardly demand things from whosoever I love.

There is this guy that I ave been dating for years now. I don’t know what to call his behavior, whether it is stinginess or the other way round.

I noticed that whenever he comes visiting, he doesn’t bring anything and I get to cook and takecare of him. I was forced to talk 1 day.

The last time he came visiting, he brought bread and other stuffs along which he ended up eating all by himself. I decided not to cook or do anything but I couldn't take it so we went out to buy stuffs. I needed to use POS and I forgot my phone at home. So I begged him to transfer 5k to the lady and that I was going to transfer back to him when we get home. We ended up using the money to get chicken, pepper and other stuffs.

On getting home I demanded for his account details in order to transfer the money back and to my surprise, he gave me and I transferred the money.

My major concern is that this guy has never given me common N10 and he is working. I don’t know if he's worth settling down with cos I fear for my future. Will he be able to give if he has more? This is the guy that is already telling me to come meet his mum cos she wants to see me.

Pls no insults, just advice.

I kinda like girls like you .
Chat me up n lets talk..... am serious

mtinfx:
Aside enugu and awka to an extent

Most cities in the south east are just large ware houses and shops

Cant live in Aba and onitsha for more than 24 hours

Anyway you guys better take your health serious
This is not about heaping dustbin on roads and inhaling it like body spray
Covid is real shlt

The only livable place in the southwest for me is ikoyi n lekki axis of Lagos. The rest of Lagos is slum. Let me not even begin to analyze the remaining shithole brown roof republic of the afonjas.
Tu fia .....

Simple fashion
I wear plenty of it

How can something not visible be called fashion?
I guess your brassiere n pants are also fashion?

Taye4j:
This is why you guys will never have that Biafra : you are a confused set of people.

Some of you are shouting Biafra today, some shouting for presidency tomorrow. Who does that? Do you think the world takes you guys serious?

You will never have a common say cos your people are too greedy, selfish and will do anything for money even if it means selling off your people and father land.

Same way u afonjas are confused , some support afenifere while some say na Tinubu n some still say na opc , n some even still say na osinbanjo. Confused sets of animals

iammo:



bad road, dirty environment.. no wonder even Somalia now insults Nigeria


.

Monkeys everywhere , where are the bad roads
We have worse roads in Lagos n even worse in ogun, ondo n even more worse in ekiti m oyo

UMUAHIA1stson:
I am from Abia state, but Abia state is cursed

Who told u you are from Abia
Taaa

SocialFinance:
What s world of hypocrites

Most of the people bashing and criticising Desmond will be ashamed if we ask them what the governor of their state have done.

Like the one distributing kerosene

The same people who are hailing audio governor in oyo state for declaring curfew in the state as if convid-19 only infect people at night, are here calling for the head of a man helping his constituency to imbibe hand washing culture.

The same Ipob applauding Dino for wasting his constituency allowance on luxuries and did nothing

Oga must you twist every thing to look tribalistic?

pricklewane:
What as your governor shared ?

Are u sure u have sense?
He said all presidents are sharing money you are here asking about his governor, all in a bid to support your mumu president.
Zombiezim

lepasharon:
He's gone awol

U no dey fear abi

Coldie:
If u want to know an irresponsible state look at Rivers state.

Rivers state that right now is supposed to take advantage of this corona virus affecting Lagos to try to scale up economically. With the lockdown going on in Lagos.

This would have been an opportunity for Rivers to receive attention from shipper's on its sea port.

But Rivers no waste time. Them even shutdown before Lagos.

Nigerians
Same u will start heaping blames on the government if the boarders are left open n the disease crawls in .
Nigerians why?

VillagePipu:
Look at this one. Ikpeazu is giving your parents in Abia sanitizer to drink and you're here talking nonsense.

You Ipobs are here insulting Lagos while there is no hope for your parents back home. Imagine an entire region beefing Ebonyi because they sited the test centre in Abakaliki.

N how many stimulus have your corona infested governors in oyo n ekiti given to his ppl
I just pity those lazy modafoking residents of those afonja states

UMUAHIA1stson:
Abia state is a shithole, even bank premises are not spared. Why is there no single neat place in Abia state?

Afonja,
How many places or place in Lagos is better than this

Oshin56:
If this news is true may God rest his soul in perfect peace and this are the reason why white man is different from Blackman. Hardly you will see this thing coming from Blackman so far there salary is still coming.

this is stupidity at its peak . I mean is he the one that brought the virus in the first place, no one wud have blamed him for any economic downfall whatsoever. The worst he could have done is to resign, but suicide?Nah

Officialgarri:
Monumental failure

If not that wailers suffer dementia, no one will object if we suggest Jonathan be whipped daily. Obasanjo and Jonathan's deeds is still what we suffer till date.

See one of them , the ppl that put us in this mess, dilemma n disgrace.
What do we do with him ppl?
