Empiree:
You have agreed they can buy land in the SW/SE. Anything else you said is irrelevant, excuse me. But I repeat that I don't support them buying the land for agriculture or ranches. Your approach will eventually lead to what you are trying to avoid (ruling over you).

But rather the govt should buy those lands from the people, and farmers and herdsmen should [b]lease from govt[/b]. This is so easy. That way you don't have to worry about them taking over you because they do not own the land. But you are saying they should buy the lands. You just contradicted yourself and your proposition is recipe for disaster.

I only choose to reply to your statements in bold. I am telling you the concern of people whose land the government is planning to acquire for the purpose of ranching and you are saying what I say is "irrelevant". Don't you think that is sheer arrogance on your part?

You said govt should buy land and "lease" it to the farmers and herdsmen. That sort of statement can only come from someone who thinks what others are saying on sensitive issues is "irrelevant". That is the real recipe for disaster.

Empiree:
would you support herdsmen buying their own ranches in the SW/SE if they are so willing, and since they have been grazing there for decades?. Why i asked is bcus the local buy these cows from them which means it is a business.

I am not talking about forcefully taking the land but buying for themselves (for ranching) from their own capital?.

Of course the law of the land does not prohibit anyone buying land at any part of the country for agric purpose. However, locals need to beware of people from the other part of the country strategically buying large expanse of land in another region with the future aim of establishing villages and towns ruled by the "foreigners".

To be clear, Yoruba people will welcome other tribes to buy land, but they will not want a town or village ruled by an Ezeh or an Emir within their domain. Likewise the Igbos or Housa/Fulani people will not want a Yoruba kingdom within their domain. This will be a recipe for future war.

mide419:
Is it a farm?


That should be your first question.

Are the cows authorised to be there by the owner of the land oga?

Is cow business govt business sir?

Can a yoruba man do the same in Kano?

Be fair even with social media comments.

The ground you are stepping on is judging you.

You will be surprised to hear that those cows are most likely owned by Benin indigenes who only employed the Fulani man to care for them. At least that is the way it is for more than 80% of cattle reared in the South West. Ranching by the private owners of the cattle is the answer. Government has no business in providing ranches for private livestock businessmen.

Cool guy. I love this guy

obonujoker:
Why is English language not written on that license since English language is just a language and moreover the most widely spoken lingua in the world??

Now, to the topic ... this is a good development for the women, no more systematic cages, one day as well we would see a church or a budhist temple in Mecca and Medina too....

Look closely at the drivers licence. You will see English written there.

Which animal is ekun?

Leopard = Ekun

[s]White-feathered Bird (Penguin) – Lekeleke

Cattle egret = Lekeleke

Goats in general but mostly used for nanny goats.

Guinea pig cant be 'emon' o....guinea pigs are mostly tailess, fieldmice can pass for emon tho

Guinea pig = Emon oyinbo

It is called emon oyinbo because it is not native to Africa. It was brought from south America by the oyinbo people

IamPatriotic:
Wonderful! I must be honest, at my age I didn't know all of these before now, just yesterday, I was listening to King Sunny Ade's music and he mentioned kolokolo, I don't know what kolokolo is in Yoruba, so it was impossible knowing its translation in English, but now I know, thanks to Niaraland, @OP, God bless you......ori e maakan oke

Fox = Kolokolo

Xander85:
Yorubas' are free to do whatever the fuc/k they want regarding Jimoh Ibrahim! It's their look out! Ndigbo will not set our agenda or react on issues based on the actions, reactions or inactions of the Yoruba! Gerrit?

Given our journey thus far in this evil contraption you call a country, you as a Yoruba man (or wherever it is you're from) can never begin to understand or appreciate our challenges and experiences....not even in a million years!

You may have seen Jimoh Ibrahim of actually being guilty or responsible for whatever befell him and his company, i don't know. But in the case of Senator Oduah, you can't pretend not to notice most of your kinsmen are already branding her a thief! For what? Has she been convicted of any crime?

You can't pretend not to notice how the OP of this thread is already branding her in a negative light and it even looks like he's enjoying her travails. As a Igbo person, given our experiences in this shithole you call a country, just how else do you expect me to react to this?

Showing me links and news reports saying Senator Oduah is being tried for whatever is all well and good, but like i said, until she's convicted by a competent court of law for stealing or corruption, branding her a 'thief' as many of you are doing is something no fair-minded person will take! Especially in light of the huge log currently lodged in your own eyes!

“Princess Oduah-Ogiemwonyi, a serving member of the 8th Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has been having a running battle with AMCON over her inability to settle her huge debt of nearly N20billion,” Mr Nwauzor said in the statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES.

What does tribe have to do with repaying a N20billion loan? Does it mean that people from some tribal extraction shouldn't repay their bank loans?

Osgilliat:
Very soon the church will be shouting witch hunting just like the politicians. Na Nigeria we dey where everything goes.

Thank God nobody is shouting of tribalism in this case!

Haters will hate

RZArecta2:
Monorail that consultants warned against because of the prohibitive cost. Why do you think the original contractors ran away ? $400 million spent already on a 1.2km journey so far. Op, which state governor in Nigeria can afford such expenses right now ? Be honest with yourself. Remember this project is wholly financed by Rivers state govt, I laughed at day one during the oil boom era of last administration knowing it won't last forever and I'm still laughing now. As it stands now, UTC to Sharks stadium is 50 naira bus or taxi journey for those who don't want to trek/stroll it, I challenge anybody to prove me wrong, even if the train is operated now on this trekking distance, they can't run it on 50 naira per passenger so it's not even viable by any ramification right now. The only way out is if Amaechi will use federal might to take over the project since it's on Aba rd which is a federal road but we know that won't happen since the same Amaechi refused to touch Omagwa airport just to spite Wike. Op, make we leave turkey for pot abeg

What about renegotiating the contract or terminating the current contract and awarding to a different contractor at a cheaper rate? If the British people were thinking as some distances as treckable, they will not have the current London underground system. Same for New York and other developed cities around the world.

It pure bestiality to suck milk directly from the cows udder..its not safe for bothbman and the cattle but I don't expect a Buhari supporter to understand

Do you want them to put the milk in the fridge first? These guys live in the bush

Rented crowd

Omihanifa:
Nigerians will just be calling figures anyhow this house is not up to 200 million naira, if hes claiming 200 million naira for this house then how much will k1 d ultimate call his own house in ijebu ode

What if the land on which the house was built is worth 180m. Land is very expensive in Lekki compared to Ijebu-ode.

dadavivo:
lagos state is not the owner of Eko Atlantic City, so why are they using it for campaign promises.they should go and complete ordinary badagri to marina road first.

It is an Enugu state project so Enugu state should use it to campaign. Abi

7 men tiring her and raping her wuld have taken Atleast 1hr....where did her sis run to??
How come her sis culdnt get help on time to come rescue her??
I assumed it was dark...how was she able to recognize only 4 out of 7??
She fainted and woke up in a police station....your story no jell Abeg

You are not making any sense bro.

The crime of rape was committed around 6am in April. If as an experienced rapist yourself, you assume it will take 1 hour for 7 people to rape the lady, that means we are talking of past 7 o’clock in the morning. How dark is it between 6 and 7am in April?

You are using sentiment to color your sense of reasoning.

DMerciful:
story looks strange...not adding up

Because the perpetrators are Ibos?

forreelinc:
Hmmmm so he raped her more than 20 times and she didn't tell no one? Are you sure she wasn't enjoying it or something?

Even if she was enjoying it, the fact remains that she is 14 years old and a minor. It is still rape. It is called statutory rape.

I was Born in Lagos and Hv lived in Lagos all my life except for a few times I spent outside the country

No sane Lagosian who has something doingwill be der.....
98% of those there hv been paid 2k each to be der..

The remaining 2% came to sell cold pure and bottled water ...

If you had lived in Lagos as much as you claim, you should know that Lagosians like to watch. They will gather to watch anything interesting like street fight, masquerade, card game or anything that catches their fancy. They do not have to be paid any money to watch.

The president coming to Lagos would definitely catch their fancy.

PDP must first confess their sins in details. You don’t forgive sins by simple making a blanket confession. They must give details and return all the money stolen.

Corruption is fighting back!!!

MRAKBEE:
Good point. IBB and Babangida have health challenges and we all aware of that.but why do they still put up an appearance in some social gatherings and political events

Can you show evidence of recent examples of Shagari and IBB's outing please?

MRAKBEE:
But Thats a big blow to Buhari whether you like it or not. Three former heads of state chose to be absent from an annual meeting and you are trying to downplay the importance of their presence.the sabotage alone is capable of reducing the goodwill enjoyed by Buhari that's if there is any stil left. OBJ went to the meeting cos he is cooking up something in his political kitchen and only wanted to appear like a national hero n lover of the country.
Mr Lalasticlala Abi na lie?

Why is it surprising that the three former heads of state were not at the meeting. Shagari is a very old man and Babangida has challenges with his legs, so both men hardly go out. Its also not surprising that Jonathan was not there because he never cared even when he was president.

I read NCC might not renew their operating licence and that by June 2017 their current license will expire


Don't say they didn't tell you o

Sapiosexuality:
And who will run this port? The Nigerian Custom Service or who exactly?

And why are you trying to turn it to a tribal banter. Is that an easier way to follow the argument or what exactly?

Customs doesn't run ports.

fajul:
My own parents would have said "you are doing ungodly thing, focus on having a Job"; I have been battling this for years but they do not want to let me go. I want to do business but they want me to be doctor - I did the medicine and finished and yet they still want me to practise - and I will never practise.

If you have supportive parents, it becomes easier to excel than those who want to control and force you into doing something you do not want!

Follow your dreams my friend. You will never regret it. It's your life and not your parents'.

Lies and loads of falsehood. There is NOTHING like posthumous marriage in Islam.

Perfectionist11:
So,the prosperity of a foreign telecommunications company while our own Glo continues to lag behind is an achievement?.

Thank you Buhari!.

More Nigerians have shares in MTN Nigeria than Globacom!

FAKE News!!!

Why are the following names not in the list.

1 Joseph Ari as director general of Industrial Training Fund (ITF).
2 Engineer Simbi Kesiye Wabote was appointed as the executive secretary of the Nigerian Content Monitoring Board.
3 Aboloma Osita Anthony is the new director general of the Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON).
4 Barrister Sharon Ikeazor is the executive secretary of Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD).
5 Princess Akodundo Gloria is the national coordinator/CEO of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD).
6 Mr. Tunde Lemo appointed the Chairman of the Board FERMA
7 Umana Okon Umana as Managing Director Oil & Gas Free Zone Authority;
8 Yewande Sadiku as the Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC).
9 re-appointed Uchechi Orji as the Managing Director of the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority, NSIA.

The list of omitted names above is by no means exhaustive. It is just a result of my quick check. BusinessDay is being very mischievous. They are now sinking to the level of junk and lazy journalism in their bid to discredit the government of Buhari. Where were they during the dark years of GEJ?
