Kairoseki77: No, he is saying that all the SE states can fit into Oyo. Both in terms of GDP and Land Mass.Lol...yes that's funny but false. BTW, need I remind you that Oyo is the slum capital of Africa, ergo no state wants to fit into Oyo for any reason whatsoever. 1 Like |

obitwo: Add the landmass of the SE states and compare to Oyo's. Its almost the same. Figures don't lieSo, in your warped mind landmass determines a state's GDP? I guess Lagos state is the poorest then. Smh. 7 Likes |

Kairoseki77: My friend, a picture of a street is not going to help you. You need to present facts and figures, not sentiments. I don't care that you "think" Enugu is richer and more developed. We are talking facts.My dear , you sound unintelligent at best; what is the benefit of your high GDP if it does not lead to better living conditions for your people? 3 Likes |

You claim the state is very poor, yet she has achieved enviable infrastructural development, the best security in the country, as well as orderliness and organization, and that on a very tight budget. Most importantly, it has an international airport, which obviously rankles you like a bee sting. Quit hating, my brother 9 Likes

basilo101: My brother, wat is happening in Nsukka now is uncontrolled urbanization with decayed infrastruture to support d emerging urban area. Enugu stat belongs to all of us, emerging urban areas such as Nsukka, Agbani, 9th mile, Obollo-Afor, Oji river etc shud be given due attention by the next administration because we all have sacrificed enough for the reconstruction of the coal city. it is nt acceptable dat dia is hardly any other place to boast of in the state apart from the capitalIf the Governor is to be believed, he has done more roads in Enugu North (Nsukka zone) than in Enugu East (Enugu city + Nkanu + Isi Uzo).

[quote author=Warri _Pikin]They should also ban any building higher than a bungalow around the airport for safety reasons. All these measures need to be taken now because the Enugu airport unlike the other international airports is located in the middle of a thriving Emene town. So managing housing development in the immediate vicinity of the airport to guarantee safety of especially large airplanes such as Boeing 747s and airbus A340 landing and taking off from Enugu International must be a priority now. if not, land speculators will only concentrate on buying up all the land around the airport needed for future runway extension and build hotels and tall building which will make air crashes frequent at the airport.[/quote]I believe a ban like that is already in place and being implemented. At Thinker's Corner, just adjacent to Emene, no house is allowed to more than 2 storeys high for reasons bordering on airspace security. |

Chanchit: Oyel money. Nigerians know how to build other peoples property anyway, so it might turn out well for Kenya.On second thought, I agree with you. Nigeria does have the requisite experience and manpower. After all, there are several Nigerians making waves abroad, but at home it's business as usual unfortunately. 1 Like |

| Politics › Kenya Offers Oil Blocs To Nigerian Investors by passion007(op): 6:45pm On Sep 08, 2013 |
Nairobi – Kenya has offered its 46 newly-discovered oil blocs for interested Nigerian investors in the oil and gas industry to develop. Minister of Petroleum Resources Diezani Alison-Madueke announced this on Saturday in Nairobi. The minister said that the offer was part of the outcome of the dialogue group preceding the Nigeria-Kenya Investment Forum held on Friday in Nairobi. President Goodluck Jonathan, who concluded a three-day state visit to Kenya on Saturday, and his host, President Uhuru Kenyatta, presided over the forum. The forum had in attendance more than 500 prominent investors from both countries. Among the delegates were influential Nigerian business magnates who flew into Nairobi, aboard a fleet of seven private jets. The Minister said that beyond giving the opportunity to Nigerian investors to acquire the oil wells, Kenya also sought Nigeria’s assistance in the formulation of right policies and framework to manage the sector. “It is well known now that Kenya had recently discovered hydro-carbon reserves and they are very keen to move quite aggressively in terms of exploration activities. “They felt as sister African country, Nigeria, having many years of oil exploration and production, that it only makes sense that we exchange agreement in cooperation to hand over knowledge, capabilities and experience learnt. “They seek various templates that we have formulated including policies, processes and a sort of templates that form Petroleum Industry Bill, among others. “We also looked at areas surrounding Nigeria’s investments possibilities where we think that Nigerian business men and women could come into the oil and gas sector in Kenya. “They are very keen that Nigerian operators in the upstream, midstream and downstream service sectors of the oil and gas industry look to Kenya as a burgeonis frontier for investments in the oil and gas sector. “They are also very keen that we robustly support them in setting up the right framework, policies and processes and technology to help them drive the exploration activities,” she said. The minister said that among the seven MoUs and bilateral Agreements signed by both countries was that on Oil and Gas which spelt out details of the co-operation. Kenya recently announced that its oil resources met the threshold for commercial exploitation, raising the country’s hope of joining the league of oil-producing nations. Specifically, Africa Oil, a Canadian oil and gas company, together with British explorer, Tullow Oil Plc, had estimated Kenyan oil reserves at 368 million barrels, a level capable of commercial exploitation. Minister of Trade and Investments Olusegun Aganga said the maiden economic forum between Nigeria and Kenya had recorded a huge success in terms of trade and economic development between both countries. He said the forum was a door opener to new range of opportunities that would increase the volume of trade and value of investments between Nigeria and Kenya, which had hitherto so low. Nigerian business mogul and Forbes Magazine richest black person in the world, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, who led the Nigerian delegation and chaired the dialogue group, said a number of Nigerian investors would be willing to invest in the oil sector in Kenya. Dangote, at the forum, announced the decision of his conglomerate to invest 400 million dollars (about N64 billion) in cement production in Kenya The CEO of Forte Oil and Zenon Oil, Femi Otedola, Forbes Magazine’s 26th richest African and Chairman of Honeywell Group, Oba Otudeko, prominent bankers and investors, Jim Ovia and Tony Elumelu were in the Nigerian delegation to the forum. Minister of Culture and Tourism Edem Duke said more than 70 per cent of interest by the Kenyan business men at the forum was focussed on tourism. He said the sector, a greenfield and new frontier with low entry barrier, aroused the interest on many Kenyan business men and women. According to him, the area of focus would be wild life development, horticulture, hospitality, training, leisure and entertainment facilities.

Perhaps the most disturbing is the state of Ekiti; the entire state is fast becoming a large farmland for growing marijuana. Is this the bequest of our founding fathers, the great Akintola and the not-so-great Awo? Rather than be in school, our kids are getting hooked on Indian hemp. How are we supposed to achieve our dream of becoming the fountain of knowledge if we continue like this? All our kids ate dropping out of school. Ekiti o ni baje o!

Did you know that our sister state, Oyo is being looted dry by Ajimobi and his wife? See this: http://www..com/talk/topic,135512.0.htmlShe ferries £400,000 of taxpayers money (or rather Niger Delta's oil money ) to the UK, and to think this is her 52nd trip. Let me do the math: £400, 000 per trip multiplied by 52 trips = £20.8M. OMG!!! Oyo is truly jinxed. 3 Likes |

Reporting live from Oshun State: Nothing much happening here. Aregbe is still too busy installing billboards at every turn, and singing his praises himself on local radio and TV stations. Rauf has spent our allocations for 2013 on state burials. For instance N35m was recently spent for a prophet's funeral. http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/national-news/129847-osun-okays-n35m-for-obadares-burial-othersHave you heard of OYES? Because of the acute poverty in Oshun, some underage kids recently registered under OYES with forged certificates from one Mr Oluwole (Those kids no get sense: they're all under 18, yet they carry NYSC discharge certificate come). Now they're cooling off their sorry bottoms in jail. No lawyer to make a case for them to be transferred to a correctional facility seeing as they are underage. Pelu itiju. In summary, Oshun has taken a million steps backwards... Rauf and the Raufs have disappointed us. ACN cheated us to the last, but now we are wiser. We'll vote back PDP or any of its factions come 2015. The State of Oshun is a failed state. 5 Likes |

Thumbs up to Princess Oduah! Little wonder Igbo men take great pride in their women. The vast majority of fierce performers in the last decade are Igbo women: Akunyili, Okonjo-Iweala, Ezekwesili, Okereke-Onyiuke (Where's that lady?), Oduah, Allison-Madueke (Igbo by marriage). Even back to the pre-independence days, the female characters directly involved in the agitation for freedom included Margaret Ekpo ( a Calabar woman who adopted the Igbo city of Aba as her hometown) and Janet Mokelu. In short, the best man for the job is the Igbo woman. BTW Afam4ever has un-banned me; I can go on speaking the bitter truth in the politics section 3 Likes |
