APChangeZombie: We need more middle-income earners than a poor population. So getting rid of not so productive and attracting or keeping the productive is good for the state. 8 Likes 1 Share |

asorocker: lol. I just dey laff all dis core North states with their low human capital. Abeg Omo Oduduwa pls take over them as ur possession jare. Those who were sent there to save them in education and industry were slaughtered. I pity any Southerner or Middlebeltan who will Br deceived by Buharis 500,000 teaching job opportunity. Guess what? In 15-20 years time u will loose all as there will be a repeat of what is going on today there because as long as they have Islam it will be a continuous cycle of calm ist and then later violence. The only time I will ever believe Islam has repented is when within a space of 50years there is no violence within the region where it is practised. 9 Likes |

kayfra: You don't start a poultry with fully matured chickens - you go for hatchlings or juveniles. You don't need to attract the rich but ensure the upcoming and hardworking law abiding aspiring young people a conducive and safe Enviroment to work and live peaceful. Allow genuine business to blossom by getting rid of all the jobless touts who have been constituted as tax officials by the state. Stop discriminatory attitude to your fellow Nigerians based on tribal hatred and jealousy. The major nuisances in Lagos are drawn from neighbouring SW states . 11 Likes 1 Share |

jstbeinhonest: How is it tribalistic to call Lagos a slum city? I just said Lagos can not compete with cities like London or Dubai which by the way have the highest density of millionaires and billionaires mainly drawn from immigrants. Why should Chelsea's Abrahomovic relocate from London to Mushin? As things stand now, more and more rural Nigerians are preferring Abuja and Port Harcourt over Lagos and it all has to do with the everyday harsh realities of working and living in that urban jungle. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Nigeria still has a long way to go with her crude oil-- if not in the international scene, then we make do with local consumption. Nigeria can be sustained and sustain herself if we play our cards well and strategise about the building of refineries. The rest of the world might be clamoring for clean energy and what-nots but our nation and majority of the countries in Africa will still be making do with the "dirty" energy for some upward of a century from now. Even when we diversify, if we don't learn the language of refinement or processing, we still be reaping peanuts for all our suffering. Don't cry more than the bereaved yet! 2 Likes 1 Share |

MrAnalyst: The waters and land can be cleaned up. I will even encourage the governments of Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, imo, Abia and Akwa Ibom to make such cleanups, a priority before it is too late. Seaports will be needed at Akwaibom (Ibaka), Abia (Obuaku), Imo (Oguta lake), PH, Ubani, Opobo and Bayelsa. Presently in the eastern region, the following states are prepared for the post-oil Nigeria... Anambra, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Abia. With minor tweaks, the other eastern states will be ready 3 Likes |

APChangeZombie: Lagos is a service based economy or it's positioned to be one so it needs to attract and retain middle-income earners. The low income people can go to cheaper neighboring states and stop constituting a nuisance in a state with high cost of living. For every New York, we have a New Jersey. I wouldn't know the demographic makeup of the destitutes. I am not a demographer or statistician and I guess neither are you. So stop with the tribalistic BS. Lagos only needs enough low income people to work in domestic capacity. A floodgate of low income people is undesirable, they compete for resources that are limited and don't contribute anything towards development via taxes or charity. 2 Likes |

TonyeBarcanista:You are ignorant, more than half of Rivers State & the whole of Delta North are peopled by Igbos, thank God that the oil politics that was used to decieve some of then is going to die a natural death. They said that Igbos are coveting their brothers in the ND becos of oil but today that oil is fast becoming worthless yet we still show the Ikwerre, Etche, Ndoni, Anioma Igbos same love & fellowship we will show the Ngwa, Owerri, Nssuka, Udi, Mbaise, Ihiala, Obosi, Abakaliki Igbos simply because we are one family. pls cry for your Ijaw nation, the future really looks bleak for you guys, your rivers have turned to brackish waters with all the fishes dead from toxic pollution, the same applies to your land & mangrooves.

Also note that in the whole of Nigeria, the two LGAs with the largest oil reserves are the Igbo LGAs of Oyigbo and Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni both in Rivers state. So basically Igbos are sitting pretty gas-wise and oil-wise 7 Likes |

dandollaz:That is your own perception.You folk alway delude yourselves you are better than everyone else. Are you more of a hustler than the Fulani who walks from Sokoto to PH with his cows facing hostile humans and beasts on the way? Leave that self indulgent Ibo tale for your village entertainment. Everyone hustles in the way that they have aptitude for. The fact of the matter is the greatest economic activity in Nigeria today more than oil or anything else is agriculture. That is an indisputable fact. Now what do Ibos contribute to agriculture in Nigeria? Instead you continue making empty boasts about how Onitsha market is the largest in the Milky Wayand the US Army buys drones there. Once again Agriculture accounts for more than 70% of Nigerian economy .What is the Ibo contribution? 14 Likes 2 Shares |

We also heard that Orji Uzor Kalu is so rich the Nigerian banks begged(yes Begged) him too take his money to the Central Bank who equally begged him to go to the World Bank. You folk really are hilarious. You just wake up and concoct any fanciful nonsense that enters your minds and that becomes your reality. Where is the data for this oil reserves claim?

It's still not yet late. Niger delta states should start agitating for resource control now before oil goes down to $5 per barrel. The NASS members from Niger delta states should start lobbying members from other regions. The whole money should be used to reclaim the land and rivers that have been polluted and also used to develop other sectors like tourism, maritime, etc. I know the Niger deltans will survive and thrive in an era of low oil prices. 1 Like 1 Share |
