haha...you are lost bro....wanted to contribut but op just changed my mind.

It's up to you to if to contribute or not. No one will careless. If it has not happened to you of course you wouldn't know how it feels. Thanks all the same. I m here not lost.

ifyalways:
I love the latter parts of your opening post @ OP. So Audu Ogbeh, as in the very former PDP chieftain, is the new minister of Agriculture

Let me not turn this thread to a political discussion.

As per topic,coming home to settle and invest now is dicey. I'd say, visit for short periods first (2 to 4 months stay at a time). You need to study the 9ja system and be sure you can deal with it.

Sorry I muddled up the whole thing but, the fact is we are in trouble, it has never been this bad that we can't tell what our tomorrow as Nigerians will be like. As for Audu Ogbe, yes he is our agric minister.

justwise:
How?

Jokingly, don't you watch Nigerian film? seriously, their are people who do fetish stuff to ruin someone and most times they are people within your extended family or 'friends'

olalat:
Cant u just pass if u dont knw how military arrangement work. Must u make stupid comment on all threads u come across on nairaland. One begins to wonder how people like u hv access to internet. Disgusting set of scums.

Bros easy na, wetin the guy talk wey upset you like this? If it's the insult on PMB that is nothing new na in Nigeria.

fabulousmann:
the President is not to blame. there is one selfish bastsrd who has refused to feed them the bastard is obviously benefiting from this God will punish him

But GEJ was blamed when something similar happened not to long ago right? We shld admit we have all failed as a people so we can speed up the recovery process. Come 2019 no one who has been in government over time should think of ruling Nigeria again we the youths must fight them hands down. Their own is now too much to bear.

I think it is now feasible to conclude that GEJ was never the problem. With all the hype and hope on PMB, where do we go from here? How can we make Nigeria a better place for us citizens and visitors alike? All Nigerians from 18 to 55 please let's drop partisanship and fight to make Nigeria a better place. We can't continue like this. We can't we just can't. We must weep and wail. We must fight and fight, I am almost in tears typing this message. Wake up my brothers and sisters, we must not allow these people come 2019 again. All of them who was in government for the past almost 17 years must not smell power again. They have ruined our future.

Originalsly:
My view is that when someone spends years and years abroad they become out of touch with the reality on ground here in Nigeria. Reading about what is happening and listening to people gives you limited insight. If you need to remigrate then you should be returning often over a period of I'll say at least 3 years to get up to speed with how things really work...to establish friends and connections and really assess if your project is worth pursuing.

I get your point but we are not out of touch because we know for a fact that there is no power and security. It's what we fear most my brother, security. people can harm you physically by robbing and spiritually from family and 'friends'.

I am outside 9ja but would like a property. however I am skeptical in terms of security of my property. Can you guarantee?

There are many Nigerians who live abroad and I happen to be one of them. I would want to indulge mature minds on the question of returning home to invest.
A sizable number of folks who have made some money over the years of toiling in a foreign land have never had it so difficult in deciding what to do as per returning home to start up a farm or a school or a small factory or just anything to help his or her community in employment and generating source of living.
Our dear country has become so difficult that virtually nothing works.
Let's say I want to return home to start a farm for example, will the dreaded fulani herds men and their cows not come and trespass my farm and possibly kill me and my family one day? Then where is the power to keep production running in a mechanized farm setting? Security from kidnappers or robbers is also what most of us dread the most. A whole colonel was kidnapped and killed just like that in my dear country, we still have not heard that suspects have been rounded up and investigations are ongoing as to bring the culprits to book-I am even talking about this as if any such cases have ever been resolved in the history of Nigeria.
You pay taxes in Nigeria yet you are basically your own government as you provide virtually everything from housing to education to medication to security to electricity and everything for yourself. When I visited home last I was at home one day when there was a knock on my door that all landords and tenants are to contribute to buy a transformer to replace the faulty one, I just shook my head and told them to come back later that day. just imagine that.
People on twitter and NL fight between themselves because of affiliation to PMB and GEJ, APC and PDP. See what transpired in a small election in Rivers the other day. From the way these politicians have reduced the Nigerian youth of today to ewarriors to hate and abuse each other online is pitiable.
We need to stand up and fight for our country and children otherwise they will not have a country to call theirs tomorrow.
OBJ recruited sound technocrats in his government if we can remember, can someone please tell me what someone like Audu Ogbe is doing in the Agricultural ministry when GEJ appointed a sound Adesina we all saw what he was able to achieve in his time. Audu Ogbe is advising PMB to import grass from Brazil when we have millions of hectares of land in Nigeria. SMH.
My people please let's call it a day for these old timers and take the bull by the horns. Tinubu, Sarai, OBJ, PMP, GEJ, Ameachi, Lai, Audu, and all of them that have been in the corridors of power for the last 16 years should pack out an go by 2019. Let's not allow them rule us again. They have ruined our future and that of our children.
Don't go out and vote when the time comes if these same people are running for office.
See our country na. with all the billions of dollars we have and generate we don't have common light that other countries see as nothing. We can't manage to generate power for domestic and industrial uses, is it nuclear energy that we can manage? PMP has no business attending that summit in the US.
Nothing works in my country and I am sad.

Quakertellicus1:
I suspect CBN wants to reduce inflation somehow...by mopping up excess.(Flawed thinking...but yeah).

Also, the government is out of cash. Because oil money is not flowing in....the government has to take this measure to balance the books...and hope that we do not go broke later. In other words...they are saving the cash.

In my opinion, good. Either oil goes up to 123 dollars per barrel....or nothing. We have to save cash anyhow.

You have definitely got it wrong. Don't just defend because you are a supporter of present day government. How does government saving money now affect you and I? In Nigeria, the system has made every family it's own government because from housing to security to education to medical is provided by you and I. So this saving makes no sense bro. It will only make sense when and if we are provided basic amenities like in the western world.

Sad what the world is coming into. Though signs of the last days. Meanwhile thank God this didn't happen in Rivers State. otherwise...

olaboy33:
I wonder why there is so much jubilation in pdp's camp.......


1. Winning rivers doesnt guarentee a ticket to aso rock

2. Winning rivers simply means pdp has become a regional party for the minority (5%)

3. Perhaps pdp need to remember APC swept all the rerun in the north which has we all knw is a major factor come the next election

4. APC has control of about 70% of the south west........

5: for those claiming pdp controls the oil-rich states........recall south west got the highest federal allocation.........got the highest percentage in the 2016 budget


its high time pdp accepted the fact that they lost the presidentain election they have been winning for the past 16 years!!!

I will like to counter your 3rd point. Two reasons why it will not be a factor: 1. PDP will divide northern votes by fielding a northern candidate. 2. APC is not performing the magic they promised and those northern folks don't joke with such things. I bet you in 2019 if PMB can't convince them now with the remaining 3 years, APC is a goner.

daguru:
Our government investigated thoroughly, the truth was revealed and appropriate actions were taken.

Please note that Ogechi is presently a drummer for the school and was Social Prefect for the same school in her JSS3 days. She is a stellar student and recently represented the school in a literary and debating competition in the district. She won the competition for the school

It's unfortunate that the school authorities presented her to be a bad girl from a bad home on social media in order to justify their wrongdoing. She is from a very good home where she was taught to be respectful to elders and authorities and also to stand up for her rights and resist any form of oppression.

It was not difficult for government to find out the truth. Her school records were opened and it was glaring she was an A-Grade student with no prior disciplinary records. Pupils of the school were interviewed at random which uncovered the lies being bandied around by the principal and Brigadier7

I m a man with 3 kids and I am fighting back tears for that poor girl. I just can't imagine my reactions if it happened to any of my kids. I might end up in jail o. we need to keep praying against temptations in life.

Cultured:
Believe you me, his comport in this picture may not necessary mean that inwardly he's undergoing any form of trauma, normally that's how most intellectuals comports.

Ameachi, an intellect? Bro find another word use Abeg.

NwaEzefuNaMba:
New jamb Question:
What's the name of the federal minister that went to his state with over 5000 military personnels to conduct election,
And craw back like tortoise to abuja??

Musa Abulahi Rotimi Ameachi.

bluecircle470:
Probably Amaechi shud be drop for d corrupt Stella Oduah b4 PMB cud be loved by d SS and SE abi! Ewu!!

Musa, Stella is not yet in jail o! You siddon on top soak away pit dey call some one you will do obeisance to if she appear for your front now now corrupt. Zombie o zombie.

emekamigo:
Bro,there is nothing wrong with the guy's facial expression.All I see is someone listening with rapt attention-

Ameachi we know is not a listener, he even ends up being the interviewer during talk shows on tv and radio.

TrueSenator:
After the reggae play the Blues....the blues....the blues...
He's not worried...... He's acting and calculating on his next move.
My advice to our son and minister is to focus on the responsibility God has blessed him with. He has the opportunity to make a difference in the transport ministry especially now is his time to complete the mono rail he started.... I personally think it will change the landmark in port Harcourt but he has to focus on his job.
He has to forget about changing PDP to APC in Rivers State. Not even a magician can do it

I don't think he can continue that project because it's a state government project. Or what do you think?

rottennaija:
Guy, go get a life. Amaechi isn't going anywhere. He will finish the monorail and the airport GEJ abandoned. This antics isn't working

Sir. I have a life. It's a political topic that we all have opinions. it's not by insulting people that will make it seem you are the best supporter. besides I think the monorail in PH is a state government project. Ameachi can't do it anymore. it's left for Wike to complete or abandon it.

Looking at the picture, I am beginning to think that all is not well with Ameachi. Could it be the loss he got in the last rerun or that he has got wind that probably PMB is getting tired of his antics and would likely drop him. If he is eventually sacked, what next for Mr. Ameachi? One of the main reasons why PMB is not loved by all especially the SS and SE is the fact that Ameachi is in his government, the anti corruption crusade will never be taken serious until the likes of Ameachi faces the same music being played by PMB and EFCC. I am sure if this is done PMB will gain the love of all other parts as earlier mentioned.

sameniceguy:
Thanks for this bro. It might not actually be Hydrogen sulphide in this case. It could be Carbon monoxide and deprived O2. As H2S is not that present in Nigerian formation unless from caked products in the tank.

Bos. H2s is not a geographical thing. It can be present anywhere and at anytime as long as what causes it are present. For a storage tank like the pic shows, I can bet you it was H2s gas.

Africa is still so backward. This is why the rest of the world has relegated Africa to the background and always see us as unserious people. Safety awareness and practice is as important as the air we breath in other parts of the world. What killed those guys was H2s gas (hydrogen sulphide) it kills faster than a bullet. That's why confined space entry should only be by professionals that is after area has been tested for H2s gas. But Fatgbems and others in Nigeria will always never want to spend money on professional labour. It's a sad situation in Nigeria.

NgeneUkwenu:
How would that put food on your table?

It doesn't have to put food on his table to ve an opinion about it. It's a political topic and everyone has a right to talk about it, you talk about politics too...Nigerians and our low mentality when we differ...

tunwumi:
Well good for them. Bird of a feather. A failure congratulating another rejected failure. If they have been good to their people would they have been rejected in the first instance?

But they don't seem to be crying for being rejected by their people right? instead it's you and your likes that cry the most. Like panadol for another man's headache kind of thing.

My dear, no overtaking in bending corner

9jii:
The same miscalculation that made pdp think to rule for 60 years.
I like how PDPians are taking themselves so higher and fall harder.

it's called political permutations. it's happens everywhere in the world. it's turns out favorable or unfavorable, whichever way it never stops.

PentiumPro:
See the fat pig.!
Subsidy money. Hope that will be the capital of Biafraudd.

for a lady, please take it easy...you should be reflecting calmness, patience, peace and comfort. Vile words should be far from you. That's someone's husband and father you know? Fat pig? Common you are better than that.

NenweIstson:
First time am going to nnewi, I think nnewi is over rated anyway kudos to Ifeanyi for the ongoing construction

Is anyone dragging on Nnewi's rating?... How is it over rated? If you don't know the economy in Nnewi is global.

obailala:
But why is Nigeria even like this?... Is it that none of our 'big businessmen' can float a massive retail chain like shoprite?... The way we celebrate shoprite, sometimes I find it embarrassing.

Its deeply embarrassing, that a whole state governor will be happy opening a chain of supermarkets like he built it, or like its proudly Nigerian product. It's a big shame.

kITATITA:
Nonsense writeup. Didn't Jonathan travel when Yaradua was in the hospital in Saudi Arabia. Did David Mark take over? The office of the President is not territorial. When the President travels on official trips, he continues to carry on with State activities. It is only when sick and unable to perform the official duties that an Acting President becomes necessary.

No GEJ did not travel. you can research on that. where he go? when Ibori and Aisha nearly collect office for his hand. please state facts to defend your government.

erunz:
political compensation over competence, lolzz

I m sure you are laughing at their nativity and stupidity. Nigeria is a huge joke which isn't funny.
