He is a slowpoke. The roads in each state should be more than that by five times.

I want to believe you're here only trolling on the low level of IQ of these 'igbobian' bigots especially the guy you quoted else I don't see how the evidence you brought corresponded with your post.

And if the guy fail to understand the point after this, I think he's just a loud-mouthed carcass with nothing working upstairs.

In the evidence, Alaskaa in north-western end of north american to Argentina in the central part of the south america takes a little beyond 47,000km. That's two continents altogether with tens of countries inbetween. So how could Jonathan have built a close lenght (30,000) in a country. Is Nigeria Africa? I think that's why Omojuwa was trolling their IQ too 'cause believing that looks moronic.

Mind you, I've always said and believed that the brain(s) behind that account (imam of shit or whatever) is/are from Nigeria, and basically from you-know-where.

Oga name anybody on the in Lagos currently chopping life more than this dude? There are many people richer than him but they can't come out show off like him since their money is not legit ..this guy is the only person in Lagos that can drive an Aventador, G700 brabus, 2020g63 , Roll Royce Cullinan , 2019 Bentley GT on the road at once and EFCC will not go after him because he is legit to the core . Forget I live on the island and I can tell you for free nobody in Lagos chop life reach this guy as at today

Does 'chopping' life signifies richness? What happens to the humble lots? I trust, many of you never heard of the Adelekes until Davido blew the name out of the water. I just use David/Adeleke as example, not to compare with this guy, so you can reason and tell yourselve the truth (as per ever hearing the name of the rich family before David's musical fame). I'm likewise sure you've never heard of the Coverton Airway until the saga with the Rivers State government too. In the same way, there are many others who are accumulating great wealth in the country and who are quite silent about it. Or who do you think are buying properties in, say, Banana Island with hundred of millions of dollars? Or do you think they are just the few names you hear about on the news. What about the Eko Athlantic properties? Who are buying into them? Wake up sire, it's daytime already!

How many times have you heard the Dangote's, Adenuga's, Alakija's children flaunting wealth across town? They are silent billionaires as well in their respective ways. That's an undeniable fact and they have businesses around the nation too. It's the fact. So flaunting doesn't signify he's the richest. He might be the most glamorous, no contest.

To conclude, you want me to name another richer kid or one flaunting the wealth as him? To educate you, the basis for naming anybody in comparison would've been his net-worth from credible source which you don't provide. And I guess we will have to seek the net-worth of others too from an equal credible source. Abi se o fe lowo ju baba re lo ni? (He isn't richer than his dad, so what the heck's the fuss about?). Thank you.

kettykings:
The percapita you are talking about is basically majorly from Lagos ,Lagos has expatriate quota , igbo ,Niger delta contribution even northern companies like Bua and Dangote boost Lagos contribution please stick to the objectives of the discuss .

forget all this GDP figures from yemi kale , please state the contribution in practical terms

Put on your glasses and look at the indices provided again. Lagos wasn't even listed. It would be unfair to pair Lagos against any region other than the south-south and that includes the north. Lagos contributed more and would've been richer than any of them if they all were to be countries.

That aside, the Agricultural sector the supposed intelligent mallam pointed out as the core strong area of the north still has a SouthWestern state as the highest contributor with three (states) from the region representing in the top 10. And that's the purpose of the evidence. Meanwhile, that's three in five states with Lagos, fairly uncounted, because its strong point isn't the area in question.

And to respond to your theory about Lagos living on the businesses of other region. First off, what matters is revenue generation irrespective of what aspect contribute the most. As such, you see some countries who are living grand listing only tourism as their economic stronghold. And they live fine! England, another case study is a very advance country economically and they rely mainly on business. They are the highest contributor to the economy of the United Kingdom with London, the highest contributor overall in all the state across the four co-habiting nations.

All the same, how many businesses do you know in Lagos. I guess you think the Alakijas, the Otedolas, the Adenugas, Adelekes and many others like them are mere figure-heads? Or what region do these people come from again?

To kill the argument, for every business a non-yoruba set up, there's aa equal number of anothe from a yoruba indigene. Perhaps, you think, we're talking about hawking Gala here or selling Okrika.

Most times I saw a report of an alleged suicide, I always yearned for the authourities to look deeper because most of them were likely staged to cover a certain murder. Most times, you listen to certain stories and you realise some things don't just add up.
I may be wrong believing only a fraction of them are true, though. But I don't think it changes anything! Some murders are being covered with suicide notes; whether it was alleged to have been printed, written on paper, sent as text, shared on social media, voice-recorded, or what have you, by the victim. That's just the basic truth.

One thing that always amuses me about our "Igbobian" eastern brothers and sisters is the fact that they can hype a housefly you would think they are referring to an elephant.
They tag any rich persons (from their region) with a sizeable fleet of exotic cars and some couple of beautiful houses 'Billionaire' easily without even knowing the net-woth.
Imagine them easily tagging this rat with the most richest kid as if they already know his net-woth in relation with the worth of other rich kids scattering about the nook and crannies of the nation.
Jeez! What an hillarious lots?

Yoruba moslem/christian thing is just a figment of some eastern guys mindset and did they know what they are doing? Yes, they do. They have simply agreed in whatever whatsapp group that they are to sow seeds of discord in the midst of yorubas using the religion line. Unfortunately for them though, the yorubas are very logically religous people. We don't go to the extreme on whatever religion we practise. And the fact that the religions in the extended and sometimes, the immediate family are diverse makes it difficult for us to break on religious line.
The entire Kwara state is a case study. Perhaps, close to 70% of the population practise Islam with the other religions sharing the remainibng percentage. But it's superhard that you see them having a religious rift within them. Dig into history and show me how many times such happen in the history of their co-habitation.
Ondo is another case study with larger christian percentage than other religion faiths. Yet no trouble of religion's tussle. Add to that is the fact that a kwara indigene would easily relate with an Ondo indigene without religion troubles relying on the tribal similarity and will never shy away because of the religion differences.
So, the Ibos should cut us some slacks and face their problems. They have enough hurting them over their clanish wars and dispute to be peeping into what the yoruba moslims and the yoruba christian are doing to one another.
They shout that some Muric Ade-something is threatening brimstones and thunders and I've asked them to provide when the same Muric leader abuse or maltreat pagans or christian in his extended family. If they can't, why don't they show us where any member of muric has mistreated or abused or murdered his/her family extended member over religion. And perhaps, they should show us where any of muric members has murdered, mistreated and/or abused any family members (whether immediate or extended) of fellow member over religion differences. If they can't, I think they should shove their care down their peeky ass and shut the hell up for good.
Yorubas ain't their problem so they should find another tribe to disorganise.

Ps: Remember yoruba tribe has a evry high percentage of traditionalists/pagans too; and athiests. That's why I use other faiths (not only christians) in most of the write-up. Perhaps another time you might consider them among the faiths the yoruba muslims are hurting too. Awon omo irankiran.

Frankdoz8:
ewedu distorted Yoruba Muslims. How dare you claim burna boy, afonja Cowards only begot cowards, burna boy is an Igbo lengendry artist from Igbo town of Ahoda in portharcourt.

Don't cry it. I gave you fact; his mother is yoruba and you started foaming in the mouth with insult. And in the end, you did the same thing I complained about: claiming land not belonging to you can be detrimental. You seem to forget it was the reason why the people of the city shed the blood of your kinsmen some decades back aside chasing some away.
I just advise you before the same happen again. Claim only what belong to you. All tribes in Port-Harcourt have reiterated times without numbers that none of them are igbos but you won't care to listen because of the oil in the city and because it's the most developed you can cling to. Don't say we don't warn you before the indigenes turn the heads of your kinsmen in there to 'a dozen a dime' in the streets of Port-Harcourt. #Bye.

Wickedfacts:
The only way Igbos can win a Grammy is if they make Grammy award a chieftaincy title.

That's why they are trying every means to own Burna Boy forgetting he has Yoruba blood running in his vein. They seem to forget Burnaboy grew up among the yorubas too and he trained himself base on the legendary acumen of a great yoruba musician. Even so, BurnaBoy isn't even Igbo; his root points clearly to Port-Harcourt via his father aside being a yorubaman via his mother.

And I'm sure it's the yoruba blood doing great in him as is being done in Angelique kidjo too. Remember, her history also clearly stated that she was trained by her yoruba mom since childhood and added to that is the fact that, aside from being one of her icons, she trained herself in line with the musical prowess of Fela too to the extent of even singing some of his songs in some of her numerous international shows.

BoboNkiti19:
Sentiments aside, Adenuga can't lace Arthur's shoes when it comes to wealth and global investments, make we start to dey expose their net worth?

Humour me, dude. Can you please show us the 'credible' source of your stats? The last time I check, Forbes top ten in Africa rich list didn't include Arthur Eze or whatever is his name and Adenuga was worth more than the amount you posted.
Infact, by the rating, Arthur didn't even make the top five in Nigeria. So, I'd really like to know where you are coming from?
These chest-beaters can't stop amazing me... jeez!

ZombiePUNISHER:
Needless thread....

Akintola of MURIC made it clear that he's first a Muslim before a Yoruba man....

So does his followers....

So park well op

And how many of his extended family has your Muric's Akintole mistreated and/or murdered? Afterall, there's no extended family in yorubaland with a parallel religous faith across board as you see in other tribe. So how many of the pagans/traditionalists or christians among Akintola's paternal or maternal relatives has he abused?
This is no chest-beating. We, as yorubas, are bonded by things beyond the realm of religous sects. We relate with everybody base on the deed/person of the individual with tribal, religous, or partisan sentiments often thrown to the back burner until we get pushed to the extreme. And even so, we still deal rationally so bloodshed and other injuries to any of the parties involved can be avoided. That's why our tribe is the most accomodative and the most liberal with others among all other tribes in the country. We are the #Omomluabi, #TheOmoAtata, and #TheBestOfRace.

can we rely on this when some homes had gotten the bill for the month already? Trust FG and Discos on this at your own disappointment. i rest my case.

This is becoming too much oh Lord. Please safe us all.

Amen.
Those guys need to watch it; God knows how many lives would've been lost if it were normal business as usual in the country and the busy bridge was vastly occupied. The sage, 'every cloud has a silver lining' comes to mind here. Covid19 has its positive side afterall!

What in God's name is wrong with Italy nowadays. Last year was the collapse of one bridge around, I think, Genoa. Now there's another in the North. Thank God, vast calamity was avoided due to the restriction on movement all thanks to lockdown over coronavirus pandemic in town.

Two van drivers escaped serious injury when a bridge over a river in northern Italy collapsed on Wednesday.

The provincial road would normally have been busy but there was little traffic when the bridge fell, because of coronavirus lockdown measures.

Images from the scene show a red courier vehicle apparently still upright on the collapsed road.

The driver was hit by falling masonry and airlifted to hospital, but his injuries were described as minor.

The driver of a second van was able to clamber out of his vehicle unscathed but suffering from shock, reports said. Firefighters were checking the river in case anyone else was involved.

The condition of Italy's road bridges has come under close scrutiny ever since 43 people died in the collapse of the giant Morandi bridge in Genoa in August 2018.

Cars fell 45m (148ft) as a 200m stretch of the structure serving the busy A10 motorway collapsed. Decaying steel rods suspending the bridge were blamed for the disaster. The bridge was operated by Autostrade per l'Italia, a subsidiary of the Atlantia company.

This latest bridge collapse took place 100km further east. The bridge links the regions of Liguria and Tuscany. Italian officials said the structure over the River Magra was some 400m in length and around 7-8m in height.

Residents in Caprigliola, the closest town to the bridge, said they heard a loud bang at around 10:20 local time (08:20 GMT) on Wednesday morning, followed by the sound of tumbling masonry.

It soon emerged that motorists had reported a crack in the bridge after a period of bad weather last November.

The bridge was repaired and then inspected by technicians before being given the all clear. It had previously been run by the local authority in Massa Carrara, the province on the Tuscany side, but then placed under the control of Anas, a firm run by state-owned railway group Ferrovie dello Stato.

"It's a sheer stroke of luck that a collapse hasn't turned into a tragedy - because of a lack of traffic caused by the coronavirus emergency," said Michele de Pascale, head of the Italian provinces union UPI.

He warned that Italy's provinces had been saying for some time that the country's infrastructure was crying out for urgent maintenance.

A local mayor, Roberto Valettini, said he had sent three letters to the bridge operator warning them about the state of the bridge.

They want fitness exercise and the government seem to be happy to help supervised. I dont see anythng wrong here... and to think they dont have to pay for the service is enough a help to be grateful for. Wishing them HAPPY FITNESS DAY!!

I read through the thread yesterday where our brothers from the EAST were wailing about Innoson been sidelined and citing Dangote as gotten financial backing from the FG particularly when it has to do with his refinery. Those guys can't cease to amaze me. And I think with them all about digging for any information against the FG to paint every other tribe and the central government black, we just need to put them in there corner for good. FOR ONCE STOP THE COMPARISON, dANGOTE AND iNNOSON ARE NOT MATES. Infact, he has a good lot to learn from Dangote instead.
i DON'T KNOW WHERE THESE PEOPLE GET THEIR INFORMATION FROM ABOUT THE CBN LOANING THE COMPANY FUND FOR THE PROJECT BUT WHAT WAS CLEAR WAS THE FACT THAT THE DANGOTE GROUP SOURCED THE FUND THAT WAS USED IN BUILDING THE REFINERY PROJECT FROM EXTERNAL ENTITY. The link below should clear your doubt but you may need to consult google for further proof if not satisfied. Of course, quite a number of news outlet in the country both offline and online covered it. The link below:

To start with, I'm not a northerner so this doesn't feel like I have the interest of the tribe at heart but I just can't overlook misinformation especially when someone is making it lokk like a certain group or individual are/is being marginalized. Feel free to go through my posts to clear your doubt over this.
The post I provided was when Dangote declared the amount needed to get the refinery into existence. He said the whole project would cost a whooping $9billion out of which he planned to source between $3.5-$4billion from his company account while FINANCIER, provide the remaining loan. He went on to comfirmed that the two parties have met and the deal to procure $5.5billion had been agreed which was to be signed that September. That was 2013 when he was proposing to cite the project in both Ondo and Ogun before disagreement between the company and the Ondo state government meant Fashola took advantage of the situation to persuade him to consider citing the entire project in Lagos instead. This thing is on the internet; clear your doubt.
So like I had said in previous post, there ain't no comparison here. The Dangote guy saw opportunity and like he said in the interview in the news article, he wasn't even targetting Nigeria but the whole Sub-Sahara Africa because, as he posited, none of the countries in focus had got a new refinery built around that period. Now how does his case compare with Innoson? Take away that tribal veil from your eyes, this guy is a complte businessman. His focus was different. His drive is exemplary, challenging.
Of course, kudos to the Lagos State government for providing an enabling environment for his progress not only on this refinery project but also on all other aspect of his business of which Lagos remain, undoubtedly, his biggest market and kudos to the FederalGovernment for the ease of business policies aiding both start-ups and established enterpreneurs to develop independently but that doesn't mean he get extraordinary favour above others. Come to think of it, he even said in one of his interview early last year or late 2018 that he wasn't going to give the FG any discount on purchase other than the consideration on the cost of transit from his facility to the destination of the supply. Does that sound like one who is indebted to the FG?
Lastly, to butress my point on the focus of the company over the supply and sale of oil to and fro the facility, the mindset of servicing the Sub-Sahara brought Lagos into making the decision of setting up the LASG Lekki deep sea-port project which, unlike the Innoson that's on the FG neck to sell his intended product, is aimed at enabling easy access to the sea for the movement of crude oil into the facility and the exportation of refined products to all port of needs outside the country; among many other Lagos state import and export activities. Although, for the fact that Lagos State remains under the FG, the latter will also have her custom personnels around to monitor all transit.

This may be sour grape for my brother from the YEAST all day long. Let me just observe their wail today

Heffe:
Who told you govt did not fund or funding dangote? Lemme tel you, wen dollar was selling at 370 in d black market, dangote was getting at 320 to 340 frm d cbn.. Also it has been agreed that by the time the refinery starts production, dangote will be getting the crude at a cheaper rate compared to the international market price .. That's how government encourage local investors.

Again, tell me, how does the two situation compare? What exact benefit is Dangote recieving from the FG that Innoson wants now? OH! the dollars stuff? Believe me, bro, all big entity qand I'm sure that include Innoson and Air Peace, has the benefit of getting their price of dollars at the CBN rate for ease of business and, not that alone, they also get better opportunity of making purchase and tran sfer fund from and to outside the country respectively.
I may not respond more on this topic. All I see about the Innoson issue are tribalistic people trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill and I think I'm too busy for that. Thank you.

sassysure:
Innoson know how to source his funds.
That's never the problem at all.
The problem is that medical equipment like this are always produced with partnership with govt.
It's govt hospitals that will use it.
It's govt that will endorse that through NNRA.
It's govt students that will use it. It's govt researchers that will use it.
If the health ministry don't use or recommend it, no hospital outside the country will buy it.
Do u now understand why govt is needed for partnership.
Has nothing to do with money.
I tell you, two or 3 igbo biz men can comfortably fund this without breaking any sweat if the man needs funding but if govt don't back it up, it's complete waste.
U know, it has to be tested. That's govt too.

All big pharm companies or medical equipment companies don't do it alone.
They are sensitive companies.
I can wake up and decide to set up company manufacturing nail. What I need is SON and I'm good to go.
No so with companies like that.
Has nothing to do with billions donated.

Do you understand what the government is saying at all? The government ain't stopping him producing but he has to produce and show the quality of the product else they are not guaranteeing anything. If Innoson is so sure of what he wants to do here, he'd go on ahead and at least produce a prototype. Produce the market is waiting either within or outside the country, that's the simple message. I don't see why anybody has to wail about this?

BUSINESSARENAA:
Which BRT was produced in Lagos, you mean the Marcopolo Buses? Where is Volvo plant in Lagos that manufactured those buses.

These same buses we saw when Ambode imported them is now being produced in Lagos?

Ogaooo, take am easy dey lie.

-I understand you might not have been a lagos resident to have confidently spew that thrash. Mind you, there are two assembling plants in Lagos producing those buses; There was one that assemble the red bus during Fashola era and the new plant that assemble the blue bus. Mind you, Lagos has stake in both companies. Below is the link to the blue bus assembly plant; the one you thought Ambode imported. Thank God, it was the same Ambode who inspected the plant in the link. So, I don't know where you get your importation information from. The link below:
https://www.nairaland.com/4952127/ambode-inspects-company-assembles-new?iorg_service_id_internal=1646953538912597%3BAfqBv6mDFOH9jRDA.
However, Assemble Plant or no assemble plant in Lagos, the state has right to deal with any company she deem fit. There are even many automobile assembling plants across many states of the south west, including Ogun, Ondo and Oyo, any of which Lagos state can contract to assemble bus for her, so why must she deal with Innoson? Is Innoson more nigerian than the rest?
Ogun state got her transport bus from one of the companies embeded in her territory and I don't think any other state in South West cried over it. Why does Lagos have to come up whenever patriotism with Innoson is been mentioned? Of what benefit is the company to the state when there are others within that are paying direct tax into the coffer for her development.
Let all ye South Easterner be guided, please. Lagos is not your problem. Deal with it.

Hyperchi:
They did that bass in necessity, and if GM motor product our military cars and van, where are we going to get the parts when they are faulty,
We bought from him coz it save cost and with wat he did when our aircraft got issue. Before considering how he is an indigenous company.
Lagos is ordering BRT from outside country why not buy from from home.
If he produced those ventilator he will have to share it to his community coz govt will not buy, did GM motor dropped prototype before they start work, how many countries has ordered for it
Are those Japanese car company also producing it as it is of high demand.

Don't dumbly bring Lagos into this. The BRT you talk about are produced in Lagos and the state even has a partnership deal on each produced unit. The state has her numerous car plants and/or makers who pay direct tax to the coffer, why would she patronise any other from some other state other than the ones in her domain.
Sometimes I just feel I can't deal with the subpar level of some people IQ here.

Bashir was wrong on this.

The guy's plant is for cars, I believe to make the ventilators some modification needs to be made and of course with cost implication.


The guy has to be sure of market/demand before going into it. The automakers in the US (GM, Ford et al), were asked by Govt to make the ventilators

And you think Innoson is the only car maker or car plant here in the country? What happens if the govt of each state decides to push for the maker in their state?
And for you guys citing dangote as case study, it's a dunb comparison. Infact, don't dare bring Dangote into this. The guy don't wait on the govt to do anything. He cite opportunity and invest in it. He realised the refinery is one thing Nigeria need functioning and since the federal government had failed to rescucitate the ones we have for years, he just did what a good businessman would and cite one near a potential supply. And add to that is the fact that the guy had been meeting potential suppliers outside the country too in case home fails to work. So, unless you want to be mischievous, there is no comparison here.

PHIPEX:
Dangote didn't just start, he got govt backing which is very good. Do you know how many times CBN and other senior officials visited his site? This is how a country should run. You don't expect Innoson to run to a bank and take 4billion loan just on HOPE that govt will buy, who does that?

That guy kept correcting you but you tend to just go your ignorant way. And to believe your ilk likes your comment says so much about the intelligence of some lots we share this form with.
Jeez! you said yourselves that govt show support by visiting his site but not begging him to start the refinery before he started. And he surely didn't wait on govt fund to start too.

The fight was scheduled to take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, 20 June.
A statement from Joshua’s promoter Matchroom Boxing said a new date for the fight "was being worked on".
Matchroom added it was "continuing to explore the possibility" of hosting the bout at the same venue at a later date.
Joshua, 30, has not fought since December, when he gained a unanimous points victory over Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia to regain his belts after losing to the American-Mexican in New York last June.
Pulev, 38, is the mandatory challenger to Joshua's IBF belt. He was scheduled to fight Joshua in October 2017 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium but had to withdraw less than two weeks before the bout because of a shoulder injury.
All fights overseen by the British Boxing Board of Control until the end of May have been suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Promoter Eddie Hearn had previously said Joshua v Pulev could be moved to July because of the uncertainty of when Tottenham's remaining home Premier League matches would be played.
The statement from Matchroom Boxing comes shortly after the Premier League announced that the football season would be suspended indefinitely.
Britain's Tyson Fury, the holder of the WBC heavyweight belt - the only one Joshua does not hold - is contractually obliged to have a third match with American Deontay Wilder.
Fury beat Wilder with a seventh-round technical knockout in Las Vegas in February and promoter Frank Warren has said they could fight again in October.

something seems not right with this decision. But in die-hard situation like this, you just hope all decisions work aright for the greater good of the populace and the nation at large. We'll welcome them when they come and continue to put our trust in God.#InGodWeTrust

This is a story of my childhood friend, whom I cited as an example. I want to prove my point that virginity doesn’t guarantee a stable marriage.

Fine, Virginity never guarantee a stable marriage but trust me, it has a better chance at a stable marriage than with a sexually experienced partner by at least a margin of over fifty percent. Anyway, nobody is stopping you from taking that MULTI-TESTED HOLE to the altar but please, don't mislead others. Thank you.

Knowing who our bloggers are and the diplomatic relationship between the French and most Africa countries, I'm not sure that's what was said in the clip. It might not even be the French in the clip too. So, fingers crossed while I await the original version.

What has the lockdown done to your IQ? Or is it always this low?

Not this again, Oh lord! I pray the fire is put under control as soon as possible and hope, at the same time, that the damage caused is so minimal.
