Prof Corruption: Tell me one region in Nigeria that does not play tribal politics?

none as a matter of fact and it has not helped us.people would rather vote mediocres from their region than a highly qualified person from another region.that has been and remains our bane.
i am sure if you pull up the 2011 election statistics you'll find out that mostvotes for jonathan were from christians and vice versa for buhari.we need to go above that.
you would be shocked that many christians would even see voting for buhari a moslem as a sin....

Prof Corruption: Every region plays tribal politics and there is nothing, in absolute terms, that is wrong with that.
reallyi dont agree.
Politics is all about gang up, fighting and protecting interests.
true

Ethnicity will not even affect our politics if political platforms have irreducible minimum that makes it difficult for mediocre to emerge. I voted for Ribadu. He's a political neophyte but has a track record of performance that can not just evaporate. I believed then and still hold that believe that Buhari has nothing to offer this country.

now you are talking....
but...mind you....the comparison was between buhari and jonathan.a comparison between a 'known' track record and 'no record'. but anyways thats not the topic of this thread

PapaBrowne: But the US had and still has some of the world's most intense racial issues.

From 1900-1960s, America's economy was advanced and the greatest in the world and yet blacks were not allowed to vote until 1965. Surely the blacks, and probably native Indians didn't have a sense of belonging. There were much more violent riots in the 50s/60s America that there are riots today in Nigeria. That didn't stop America from creating some of the greatest companies which eventually created the greatest middle class the world has ever known.

true....but remeber america already had a foundation pre-slavery + can you compare america in the 50's/60's to america in this dispensation?ECONOMICALLY i mean.

Prof Corruption: There was nothing like rapid development post independence. We had rapid decline post independence.

However, there was rapid development pre-independence and that could be explained in just one word: competence.

ok i agree...let me re-phrase.
can you compare the rate of development just post independence(pre-oil) to what we have now?if we had continued at that pace without all the setbacks including the civil war....where would we be

i am a southerner but i try to see past that line.....in the last elections i voted buhari.....my wife voted jonathan even when i had pointed to out to her that this man had done absolutely zilch in bayelsa state as governor.she failed to see with me and instesd insisted that buhari was on a quest to islamise the nation,besides the northerners had ruled for far too long.purely emotional reasons if you ask me and i can bet you 80-90% of southerners voted along these lines.
look at the mess we've found ourselves in with jonathan.
the yorubas are playing their own tribal politics(yes!that is what it is).how has it helped us

Prof Corruption: You are absolutely wrong. You are completely wrong. There can never be a sense of belonging where the majority are living in abject poverty and are unhappy. Tell me what drives the so called "sense of belonging" in US?

what was driving the rapid development of nigeria post independence??

PapaBrowne: You are very right. However, I read something interesting in another article that says its been researched and proven that once an economy hits a GDP of $6,000, the likelihood of political, tribal or other parochial instabilities reduces considerably. Nigeria is currently at $2500. We are not too far.

Truth is, people are less likely to act on their tribal hatred if they have work to occupy their time. When there is enough food to eat and excess money to spend, who cares about tribalism.

hmm...interesting....

Prof Corruption: That's not exactly true. Infact one man can rule Nigeria for twenty years and the nation ll be largely happy as far as solutions are being provided to our problems.
Regimes that have transformed nations in the world usually retain a competent leadership, dictatorial or democratic, in power for a considerable period irrespective of diversity or otherwise. "Many people don't really care about this indigineship thing if they are happy economically."

apparently you do not know how far the rabbit hole goes....if you think the US is the richest nation today and amerivans are happy because their economy is doing so well then think again.
quote me anywhere....AMERICA IS THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH TODAY NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR ECONOMY BUT BECAUSE THE CITIZENS HAVE AS SENSE OF BELONGING.THAT IS WHAT THEIR WEALTH AND SUCCESS IS BASED ON...

Prof Corruption: Residency, in substantial terms, has nothing to do with our economic progress.

my point is this country will never attain its true potential IF WE DO NOT FEEL LIKE WE ARE IN A COUNTRY. maybe you feel so.....i dont!

i dont care if nigerias economic growth is at 100% per annum.....if we do not tackle and de-emphasize tribe,religion and ethnicity.....then this nation will be like a mansion built on quick sand.

normally i would be excited about this kind of news but in a country torn apart by tribalism,ethnicity and religion,no thank you...i'll pass...
the proposition to focus on state of residence and not state of indigenship is the best thing i have heard in recent years and is capable of putting this country on the path to redemption but when you have youths (leaders of tomorrow)argueing vehemently against it then we are finished.
go to the north especially the middle belt,benue,plataeu,kaduna.you ll find people passionate about where they live in.
e.g in jos....a yoruba,ibo or ijaw man who grew up there feels very passionate about that city.most josites i know..whether hausa yoruba ibo ijaw or ibibio knows know other place other than jos and i can bet you a yoruba man buttered and bred in jos will change jos for the better better than an indigene.

demoreon: Nice post frank, bt I couldn't fail to disagree less with the idea of a blog doing the following ,

1: It boost your credibility = Wrong
Credibility has to do with ppls believe and trust, that's something you have to earn.
2. It show that your product works = wrong
Testimonies are prove of your product working, so ppl needs to test to know that, a mere article will never prove that.
3. It show that you are real = wrong
There are lot of articles online that are over 10yrs old,the owners might have forgotten abt them, so blog doesn't make you real.
4. It raise the valued of your products = wrong
Do you mean the products are over hyped? Dt definitely is some crappy product that's only has good as its sales letter.

Firstly its crucial to know that the size of your list gat nothing to do with conversion,its the relationship with your list dt matters. So mr deji yusuf, you mentioned sending articles to ur list,that would only make dem unsubscribe from your list better still they will see you as no different from other IM and that means Zero responsiveness. What you need do is send them personal messages

Building a responsive list has to do with you knowing the kind of ppl you want on your list,
How to successfully build a relationship with them is a topic on its own and I won't go into depth on that today. 

Yes, it’s important to always be looking at ways to build your list.  The other just as important part of the equation, is to have conversions.

Right List + Right Offer = Conversions = Make Money

I said know the kind of ppl you want on your list, you build your list with people who are actively looking for what you have to offer, your conversions will increase.  No matter how big your list is, if you are not presenting offers to them that are converting, then size is completely irrelevant.   The only way to have high conversions is to make great offers to the RIGHT audience.  So when considering the question of “how to build a responsive list?”, you have to follow that closely with understanding that it has to be the right list.
Its your content that matters whether you using a blog or website.
I know we have some gurus here that can share more insight.
Am learning also.

classic post!

i hate building a list through blogs even though it offers an opportunity to acquire some of the most responsive subscribers but the hassle in managing a good blog is too much for me abeg.
its so sweet when i can just throw up a squeeze and send super charged paid traffic to it.

if you need to make money online its simple.......BUILD A LIST.....NOT JUST ANY LIST.....A RESPONSIVE LIST,and i swear your people go dey swear say you dey do 19....

pro01: Let's even forget the 'white elephant' aspect of LASG's Mega City illusions (Eko Atlantic and other such nonsense). In simple terms, a mega city is supposed to be a huge metropolis in which things WORK - public facilities and utilities. In other words: working public transport systems, working roads/power infrastructures, working public hospitals and schools, working social security systems, modern utilities, efficient system for maintaining and regulating such utilities/infrastructures, etc. That is the story of New York, London, Tokyo, Beijing, Buenos Aires, Johannesburg, and other real 'mega cities'.

Unfortunately, Fashola's idea of 'Mega City' has little to do with substance and much to do with form and appearances. That's why he is interested in 'beautifying' some streets in high brow areas, planting trees in Ikoyi and V/I, purging okada riders and other poverty induced "eye sores" from the streets, compelling house owners to paint the exterior of their houses, and banning struggling people from eking out a living in ways that offend the 'posh' sensibilities of the privileged middle/upper classes.

Sadly, little is done to ensure that roads are without potholes (and stay that way!), that street lights work no matter what, that public water supply is efficient and reliable, that prospective property developers go about their business without harrassment from Omo Oniles, that incentives are provided for SMEs to help boost mass entrepreneurship, etc. etc. etc.

The Fashola administration suffers a massive identity crisis; it is not welfarist/socialist in orientation (e.g. Rochas/Mimiko/Oshiomhole/Akpabio administrations) , neither does it excel as a capitalist-minded government that promotes private enterprise. To all intents and purposes, the Mega City posturings indicate nothing but an elitist orientation - one that can only be be associated with an administration has lost touch with reality and common sense.

classic post.....

truly,this man has lost it.

The Lagos State Government has signed financial deal raising N80 billion through Bond, with Chapel Hill Limited as lead book runner and issuing House.

The sum represents the first tranche of the N167.5 billion the state is sourcing under its second bond series between now and 2019 while it is also the fourth time the state is raising funds through bond issuance to drive its infrastructural development.

According to Governor Babatunde Fashola at the completion of the board meeting at the Lagos House, Ikeja on Thursday, the total sum is to be invested in infrastructural development which remained the thrust of his administration.

The bond will be used to complete ongoing projects, such as expansion and reconstruction of the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, Blue line rail corridor, ferry terminals in parts of the state to boost water transportation, construction and completion of health institutions such as Ayinke House within the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Maternal Healthcare Centres, among others.

At the meeting, which attracted participating financial houses and stock broking firms, Fashola assured that the money would be used for specific projects that would add value to the state economy.

“This is serious undertaking that imposes serious responsibilities on us. When my administration came out the first time to issue bond, it did so stating clearly its focus on infrastructural development, which faith it has kept,” he said.

The governor stated that Nigeria left behind 40 years of infrastructural decay, an unfortunate development, which he said, must be tackled in order to give the future.

Fashola said the bond would run beyond his administration, saying that “if my tenure is making progress towards the end, my responsibilities to the people have not stopped. So I have to borrow to do what I should do. What I can do with N10 today, my successor cannot do it with that same N10 tomorrow.”

According to Fashola, “so, what we have done now instead of going to the banks to borrow at the high interest rate, we have gone to the larger public through public insurance of the debt bond to raise money and that include bank but they are borrowing on a different parameters which is longer tenure with slightly lower interest rate.

if you had watched that town hall meeting on AIT y'day would see a governor exposing himself to his people.a man who is not perfect but trying to be accountable to his people.
Even some of his commissioners did'nt find it funny.One of them(commissioner of education i think)even asked him "sir why do you want to disgrace me here now?",when it was obvious she was trying to be economical with the truth.

...nigerians SMH.........if he doesnt hold these town hall meetings,na una go first talk say transparency no dey.....
amaechis younger brother is loafing around now in PH because he's been banking on his brother to share money among his siblings and the governor has dissapointed.
meanwhile in neighbouring BaYelsa state,the state gov younger brothe rides 4 jeeps and is moving around town with 'swagg'.
ask any person that knows PH politics very well and youll find out that amaechi is hated by his own people,the ikwerres and many top politicians from the riverine areas because he has refused to share money.

[quote author=geez*]A rail system is mass transit but must be constructed a matter of strategy. Over 5million people move from the mainland to the island every single day. Now what the LASG has done is to identify where the largest volume of traffic flows from and has built a rail line that will service them. When the two lines are completed, they will take close to half of the 5million people off the roads. It is highly sustainable and makes sense. That is what the RVSG has failed to incorporate in the execution of this rail[/quote]my brother i disagree with you.are you saying that this monorail if completed will not ease the pressure on the existing roadsare you saying that in the same vein,IF MAINTAINED,will not generate funds for the interested parties in the long run
