Bayelsa is a disgrace. Anamba, imo and Abia nko? This country needs to be badly restructured and I don't mean by secession of any part YET!
We can start by pushing for removal of certain things from the exclusive list of the federal govt.
Power for example. Once there is deregulation of power, a poor Northern state can borrow money from a bank and build an IPP solely for a massive industrial estate 3 to 5 times the size of trans amadi industrial layout in portharcourt.
Dangote and other manufacturers would fall over themselves to own factories there.
Do you know how much power supply adds to the overhead of a company daily?
Attract businesses to your state. Give them power supply and they WILL GLADLY PAY REASONABLE TAX TO THE STATE.

And who says everybody wants to be a millionaire?That is how we got it wrong in ds country and that is d reason d president also said "eldorado"...I know he means wealth but is total rubbish....wat we all want is for basic things of life to be in place..not everyone dt is craving to hv billions and trillions in account

What do u mean by folding of arms., Nigerians are some of d most hardworking people..Despite being educated,some are now Keke riders,okada riders.. Their are now many lawyers and medical doctors that are now tailors...In 2011,I saw a medical doctor being paid #70,000/month.some of them survive on locum..When he travels out for medicals,is he going there to meet babalawo?..If those doctors didnt acquire d education and their government investing heavily in their infrastructure,will he go there...he paid those people their and dt is "eldorado"
Are you really serious? Or just disagreeing because it's Buhari? That statement is a fact. Especially in a country where the youth have their eyes on something bigger.
What is an "eldorado"? The president is merely stating that these days, your university degree is not enough. Thinking outside the box is how countries like China are where they are today.

Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart named in BBC’s 100 stories that shaped the world

Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart has been named in BBC’s 100 stories that shaped the world, making it into the top 5. BBC Culture asked writers around the globe to pick stories that have endured across generations and continents – and changed society. Other great African literary works on the list include Tsitsi Dangarembga’s Nervous Conditions, and Children of Gebelawi written by Egyptian novelist Naguib Mahfouz.

One of Africa’s literary giants Albert Chinualumogu Achebe passed away in 2013 aged 82 but his works continue to make headlines, inspiring and influencing generations. Achebe’s first novel Things Fall Apart (1958), which is widely considered his magnum opus, and is the most widely read book in modern African literature has been named in BBC’s 100 stories that shaped the world, making it into the top 5.

In April, just months after the 60th anniversary of the publication of Things Fall Apart, the novel was named one of 12 novels considered “the Greatest Book Ever Written” in a list which was compiled by Encyclopaedia Brittanica. In the same month, Things Fall Apart was also named in the list of 100 Books to feature in ‘The Great American Read’ TV Series. The American series “celebrates the power of reading, told through the prism of America’s 100 best-loved novels (as chosen in a national survey)”.



Things Fall Apart is regarded as an important novel and one of the greatest classics of our time. The story chronicles the pre-colonial life in Nigeria and the arrival of the Europeans during the late nineteenth century. The novel interrogates the clash of cultures, traditional values and belief systems.

Other great African literary works on the BBC’s 100 list include Zimbabwean novelist Tsitsi Dangarembga’s Nervous Conditions, and Children of Gebelawi written by Egyptian novelist Naguib Mahfouz. Nervous Conditions, which comes in at number 66 on the BBC list won the African category of the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize in 1989 and is considered one of the 12 best African novels ever written. The novel illustrates and interrogates the dynamic themes of race, colonialism, and gender during the post-colonial conditions of present-day Zimbabwe.


Naguib Mahfouz (1911-2006) the first Arabic-language writer to win a Nobel Prize for literature. Children of Gebelawi written by Mahfouz is ranked 76 on the BBC list. Mahfouz won the 1988 Nobel Prize for literature for his works “rich in nuance”, which “formed an Arabian narrative art that applies to all mankind”. Mahfouz was the second African writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, after Nigerian author and poet, Wole Soyinka who received the Prize in 1986.

In April, BBC Culture says it asked writers around the globe to pick stories that have endured across generations and continents – and changed society. Experts around the world nominated up to five fictional stories they felt had shaped mindsets or influenced history. “We received answers from 108 authors, academics, journalists, critics and translators in 35 countries – their choices took in novels, poems, folk tales and dramas in 33 different languages,” BBC Culture said.

BBC Culture says the list is not definitive but its aim is “to spark a conversation about why some stories endure; how they continue to resonate centuries and millennia after they were created. And why sharing those stories is a fundamental human impulse: one that can overcome division, inspire change, and even spark revolutions”.

KoiceReloaded:
It's true though. I struggled to finish it. I certainly won't be returning for season 2.
There is something about deadly class. You have to be twisted in some sort of way to enjoy it. Why I love it is the multiple twists it takes.
In addition, I don't think it has really set in yet. The story just dey unfold..lol
But in a way I agree it can be much much better. The ratings don't lie.
They have to make it a bit more action packed and exciting while retaining the dark comedy

X= girls age
Y=mothers age

X=y/2
therefore y=2x
Y+5=z
Therefore y=z-5
X+y+z=100
y/2 + y +(y+5)=100
=y/2 + 2y + 5= 100
= 0.5y + 2y =95

Good ol days....newsline made news worth listening to. Made news look like telemundo. Everyone was glued.
"Its 9 o clock, do you know where your children are?". Only God knows how many children that opening line saved. No phones then so it was always a relief for my parents that all of us were accounted for. I can imagine that same line made many parents uneasy especially those whose kids were already in the university at the beginning/height of violent cultism in the 90's.
