It is impossible to compute the area of a triangle given the length of the base of the triangle only yet our guru correctly gave the area of the triangle even before the height of the triangle was read out.

My conclusion is that the student had seen the question at least before the teacher had read it out and so had computed the answer beforehand. When this is considered we may say his performance was brilliant but not quite exceptional.

If you must question my thesis please kindly question my #Facts and not the sentiment.

Me thinks it is a DNA thingy.Yorubas are very good in STEM especially mathematics.They have the highest number of the best black mathematicians in the world.You still remember the the controversial Enoch Opeyemi?I think it is a DNA thing.

Is this not the guy that was hyped to have built a drone in 2014.These are toys joor.

Well you can say that again because I thought he was a fluke too when it came up in 2014 but now in 2016 reading this:
[b]“A flaw in the design of the drone actually inspired this Flying Car,” remarks Ayoola. “In other words, it started out as a mistake and at the end of the day, I really did like what came out of it. ”

According to Ayoola, what started out as a flaw turned into the best hybrids there is. Imagine having a car that can fly and is not anyway as expensive as any known flying machine. It could completely phase out traffic in congested cities and change the way ambulance services operate.

The Flying Car can also go above 30o meters in the air as its flying technology is similar to the drone. It is just a hybrid of a functional motor engine that moves the tires and a flying engine.



Having built all these from scratch without formal training of any sorts, I beg to disagree with the “tweaked prototypes” label. This young man struggling against the odds to do the seemingly impossible considering the dispensation in Nigeria today is a working prototype of innovative awesomeness himself. I stand to be corrected.[/b]

I think this dude really has it up there...

23-year-old Nigerian Computer Science graduate of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) in Ogbomosho, Ayoola Olaolu, has built a drone and a flying car from scrap materials.

According to Olaolu, the drones which are manufactured and fitted with camera with the capacity for live recording can be deployed and officials would be watching event as they are happening on the ground.

Meet the LAUTECH graduate building flying engines from locally-sourced materials in Nigeria

February 25, 2016 by Victor Ekwealor

Rushing to the office through the hot Lagos sun in this heatwave, I didn’t feel a single burn. My mind was filled with “ifs” and more “whys”. A million questions crammed my brain as it worked hard to tackle the task at hand — I had to interview a young Nigerian drone maker doing extraordinary things with flying engines

“Good afternoon sir,” Olaoluwa Ayoola greets with an endearing, unassuming politeness as he alights from the bus, even though I had insisted he addressed me by my first name.

A few months back, when I heard about a Nigerian student that made a drone and was resident in Nigeria, I was both ecstatic about the prospect of meeting him and sad the Nigerian media didn’t give people like him any enough coverage.
In the spirit of dronemanship, I give you 23 year-old Ayoola Olaoluwa, a Computer Science graduate of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) who has built a working camera drone and a Flying Car from scratch.
Background

lagos-traffic

“The traffic in Lagos is horrible and makes the state appear bigger than it actually is. Getting from one place to another is war!”

I remember this young man was from Ogbomosho in Oyo State where traffic isn’t a major headache. He is the second son in a family of four and by his manners, was from a well mannered parentage.

I wondered aloud what attracted a Computer Scientist to aeronautics,

Ayoola Olaolu Drone (106 of 239)

“I initially wanted to study aeronautical engineering, but it wasn’t available in any Nigerian university at the time, so I settled for Computer Science which is somehow a branch of aeronautics,” he replied with head bowed setting up his machines to be photographed in preparation for our interview.

Ayoola hopes to acquire a Masters Degree in aeronautics someday to develop his passion for making flying engines.
How the journey started

IMG_20131116_175742_0

“I have been making things for as long as I remember”

From building a shiny hyper realistic aeroplane when he was 13 years old to making rotor powered cars that operated on finger batteries, Ayoola had always been creating machines with a leaning towards air engines.

“Everybody was awed by the plane I built”, he laughs in recollection, !but it was not working. It couldn’t fly or even move and they did not even know.”

“Making things has always been something I did as a pastime,” he adds, “the way other people engage themselves in their spare time, I want to create things. It is more like a hobby for me”
Introducing the drones

Ayoola Olaolu Drone (113 of 239)

When I asked him to tell me about his inventions, this young man was quick to point out that they were not his inventions.

“Drones are not new, and I did not invent them, you can call them innovations, I might agree to that but they are more like tweaked prototypes of already existing technology,” he replied in correction of my intentional slip.

Ayoola Olaolu Drone (35 of 239)

The drone is a battery powered quadcopter with four rotors attached to the wings and controlled by a joystick that has been tweaked to serve as controls for both the Flying Car and the drone.

Ayoola Olaolu Drone (99 of 239)

“I had to buy the batteries online not because there was no local substitute, but they were all heavy and not powerful enough. Even these one still require constant charging after say nearly 30 minutes of continuous use”

I noticed he had to change the batteries multiple times during our test flight.

Ayoola Olaolu Drone (43 of 239)

“The controller was originally built for a toy, but I reconfigured the frequency to control both the Flying Car and the Drone”



The controller was the most fascinating part of the engineering to me. I couldn’t wrap my mind around completely altering an already built joystick. The more I asked, the more he explained and the more confused I got. I just left it, but it is mind-blowing nevertheless.

“The drone goes over 300 meters in the sky,” Ayoola tells me, “the time it got missing during the NYSC test flight, I took it too high”
The Flying Car

It can drive like a normal car and take off without having to taxi on any runway.



“A flaw in the design of the drone actually inspired this Flying Car,” remarks Ayoola. “In other words, it started out as a mistake and at the end of the day, I really did like what came out of it. ”

According to Ayoola, what started out as a flaw turned into the best hybrids there is. Imagine having a car that can fly and is not anyway as expensive as any known flying machine. It could completely phase out traffic in congested cities and change the way ambulance services operate.

The Flying Car can also go above 30o meters in the air as its flying technology is similar to the drone. It is just a hybrid of a functional motor engine that moves the tires and a flying engine.

Ayoola Olaolu Drone (36 of 239)

Having built all these from scratch without formal training of any sorts, I beg to disagree with the “tweaked prototypes” label. This young man struggling against the odds to do the seemingly impossible considering the dispensation in Nigeria today is a working prototype of innovative awesomeness himself. I stand to be corrected.
Challenges

Ayoola Olaolu Drone (196 of 239)

The greatest challenge for the young inventor at the moment is lack of technical know-how. Being a computer science graduate and an aeronautics buff hasn’t exactly made the process seamless for him.

Ayoola Olaolu Drone (205 of 239)

“Most of the things I know, I learnt myself. Reading up online, trying and failing till something is achieved. I wish there was an educational structure for people passionate about innovative pursuits to gain hands-on knowledge in those areas.”

Without further probing, we all know most of these facilities that have been set down for purely technical education are not functional and the operational ones are limited in their reach.

Ayoola Olaolu Drone (167 of 239)

Ayoola feels Nigeria is too dependent on the western world for every bit of technological exploit when there is a lot to look inwards to.

Another challenge for him was sourcing materials to assemble these little engines. The first drone he ever made was an aluminium scarps contraption that was too heavy to fly properly.

IMG_20140308_162651_0

“With time, I got to figure out that the lighter the material, the easier it is for the craft to stay longer in the air and be easily manoeuvred.”

And the search for a lightweight material finally led to a Styrofoam body that was, in an ironic twist, so light it fell on most landing attempts or turning for the Flying Car. Says Ayoola:

“One time, I was asked to demonstrate how high the drone could go and I went all in. The drone went so high into the sky that I lost sight of it and had to build another prototype.”

Ayoola Olaolu Drone (58 of 239)

“The white colour of the Styrofoam against the white clouds is a camouflage that would never fail to confuse anybody any day,”

The problem of a good body was one that 3D printing would solve effectively without any qualms. But 3D Printing when pesin never chop? Really?

IMG-20150210-WA000

“My NYSC was in Egbedore Local Government Area of Osun state from October 2014 to November 2015 and during that period, I used the drone as my project of sorts in camp and it attracted a lot of attention. The Director General of NYSC and the Deputy Governor of Osun State also came to see the drone in action.

And according to Ayoola, through that period until now, he has written to every relevant government agency, parastatal and research body, yet no reply.

“They always say they would get back to me, but they never do.”, says Ayoola.
Innovation culture

innovation

There are a million innovators like Ayoola in Nigeria today who have the gift, passion and drive to revamp the Nigerian tech space from a hardware angle. Creating practical solutions that would make everyday life more enjoyable and also putting Nigeria on the map of global technological advancement.

But young people like this need massive support from the government, companies, corporate bodies and even individuals. Technology seems to be the roadmap to Nigeria’s new glory, so let us all support innovation wherever it rears it’s beautiful head. Be it in the form of an Ayoola or somebody else. Support innovation to grow Naija.

CioAngels:
Dr osato, weldone, i am proud of you and many others like you. There is a poor Nigerian boy who is making drones locally and it worked when he exibited it even though it did not go high, it was his first and with and encouragement from you, he will be perfect. I don't his name and i have forgotten the state he resides-in . I sincerely plea with you to help him becos Nigerian government will not grant him audience talk more of helping him especially as his from a poor back-ground. This is what Nigeria is, where the poor intelligent children does not have hope of survival. Dr osato, thank you as you do help him.

weedcrusha:
Please I urge everyone not to argue with this dude anymore. He's delusional......Internally Generated Revenue of Anambra is 4.56 million ....That's lower than what a ward in Kebbi makes ......You guys must really be improvished

The best thing to do is leave him.He would just be going in circles.He should go and write a book on "HOW TO BE A COMPLETE MORO.N"I am sorry to say that his MUMUNESS has no limit.

Marcelini:
You must be a robot, repeating same thing all over again.

I had already shown where World bank got their figures from, and as for the OPHID, it had already been eviscerated and totally debunked here:

I have no interest going in circles with you. You can believe whatever you want to believe,but the reality remains this:: https://www.nairaland.com/2732630

SW remain the least economically viable region in the South.

It's a bitter pill you must swallow after all had been said and done.

Look who is talking about robots...lol I didn't know I had been chatting with a cyborg.You should make a book on learning how to be a complete moro.n someday...
If everybody is lying and realities on ground like SW being the most industrialised,most educated,having the largest middle class and being the commercial hub of Nigeria are all not satisfactory enough reasons for you why they tower over the SE,then you console yourself.I know it is hard but you just have to swallow the bitter pill of defeat.That is the reality...kpele.

totit:
Buhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Lmaooooo

Abeg e don do

I just thank God for SW
May God continue bless our hustle

That is it superman.HE HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY DECIMATED
I.E.D

Marcelini:
The MDGs can't be flawed, because it is in tandem with realities on ground and the criteria they used are measurable criteria that can easily reflect realities.

A poverty rate stat that makes use of bogus criteria, that ended up with Niger state having lesser poverty rate than Anambra, is obviously flawed, that's common sense.

Yes, neither the world bank nor UNDP conducted fresh poverty stats in Nigeria, they used figures directly from the flawed NBS stats.

The Jamb enrollment stat is a self evident stat, it can't be influenced, and it's JAMB that release them, not NBS.

The Joke is on you.

THE JOKE IS NOT ON YOU ONLY BUT THE JOKE DON CARRY YOU NACK YOU FOR GROUND COME REMOVE YOUR BRAIN PUT SAWDUST...One of the dumbest Igbos I have ever met

United Nations' Multi Dimensional Poverty Index

The United Nations' Global Multi-Dimensional Poverty Index has three dimensions and 10 indicators in estimating Overall Poverty. Each dimension is equally weighted, each indicator within a dimension is also equally weighted, and added. It uses 10 indicators to measure poverty in three dimensions: Education, Health and Living standards. This report was Published in June 2015, and is based on data collected on years between 2004 and 2014.
According to the MPI Report, as at 2010, 46% of Nigerians lived below the national poverty line (Only 28% in Urban areas, and near 70% in The rural). Although a Report by the World bank, released in 2014, showed that only 33% of Nigerians could be considered Poor.

What is the global MPI?

The global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) is an international measure of acute poverty covering over 100 developing countries. It complements traditional income-based poverty measures by capturing the severe deprivations that each person faces at the same time with respect to education, health and living standards.

The MPI assesses poverty at the individual level. If someone is deprived in a third or more of ten (weighted) indicators (see left), the global index identifies them as ‘MPI poor’, and the extent – or intensity – of their poverty is measured by the number of deprivations they are experiencing.

The MPI can be used to create a comprehensive picture of people living in poverty, and permits comparisons both across countries, regions and the world and within countries by ethnic group, urban/rural location, as well as other key household and community characteristics.

This makes it invaluable as an analytical tool to identify the most vulnerable people – the poorest among the poor, revealing poverty patterns within countries and over time, enabling policy makers to target resources and design policies more effectively.

The global MPI was developed by OPHI with the UN Development Programme (UNDP) for inclusion in UNDP’s flagship Human Development Report in 2010. It has been published in the HDR ever since.http://www.ophi.org.uk/multidimensional-poverty-index/

THIS IS FROM WORLD BANK
The NER also documents major differences in poverty and living standards by macro-region in Nigeria. While the South of Nigeria has relatively low poverty rates, ranging from 16% in the South West to 28.8% in the South East, poverty rates in the North West and North East are 45.9% and 50.2%, respectively. While the South of Nigeria (especially the South West) has experienced a strong positive dynamic in poverty reduction in recent years, the poverty rate in the North West has remained stagnant, while poverty has actually increased in the North East. Thus, disparities between the North (North West, North East) and South of Nigeria in poverty and living standards have increased. This is no doubt related to the recent security challenges in the Northern part of Nigeria. Explanatory factors for the high differences in living standards by geographical region are likely related to differences in the provision of public services and the degree of connectedness to larger markets.

NER MEANS NIGERIA ECONOMIC REPORT..maybe it is a Yoruba man that owns it...
http://www.worldbank.org/en/country/nigeria/publication/nigeria-economic-report-improved-economic-outlook-in-2014-and-prospects-for-continued-growth-look-good

THEY ARRIVED AT DIFFERENT PERCENTAGES ALL DEPICTING THAT THE SOUTH EAST IS POVERTY RIDDEN THAN SOUTH/SOUTH AND SOUTH WEST..

The more reason you all run to the best South...

weedcrusha:
The only report he believes is that flawed report I showed above............What a loser!

Yea superman.Some intelligent Igbos who are reading this are saying nwoke abu nwoke nzuzu...lol.
He is really NWOKE NZUZU

Marcelini:
" The NER then provides an updated analysis of poverty and living standards in Nigeria based on a panel survey of 5,000 households that was carried out in 2010/2011 and 2012/2013 as part of the General Household Survey of the Nigeria National Bureau of Statistics".

The world bank never conducted any research on Nigeria poverty rates, they simply used the Data from the Nigeria National Bureau, the same falsified results conducted in 2013 by a Yoruba man that placed Osun GDP greater than those of all SE states, it's no surprising why their results are flawed.

The same flawed stat that placed Niger state as the state with least poverty rate:https://www.naij.com/401470-see-the-10-poorest-states-in-nigeria.html

And I suspect the Oxford university used same flawed NBS flawed stats, hence their flawed result.

LET US KNOW WHO YOU ARE GOING TO BELIEVE (so that I can bring their report concerning poverty in Nigeria )IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THE MAN(MANUFACTURE),UNDP,UNO,WORLD BANK AND NOW THE NBS...
There is no data collected in Nigeria that would not come from NBS if it is going to be authentic.

The MDGS that some of your people were ejaculating on and LOOK WHO IS GOING TO SCHOOL IN NIGERIA...all had the hand of the NBS and you believed them... :olol

READ THIS FROM MDGS TEAM AND NBS:
It is in recognition of this important role of data and in demonstration of the
commitment of the federal government
to meeting the targets of the MDGs, that
National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) commissioned the 2014 MDGs Performance
Tracking Survey. This is the second round of the survey and it is designed to generate specific indicators to monitor progress of the MDGs across the goals. These findings will also help policy makers identify gaps and challenges to the realization of the goals and proffer solutions to ultimately achieve a successful completion of the MDGs targets by 2015. The survey generated several indicators across seven of the eight MDG goals to track progress...


Go and read about YOMI kALE the Tactician General,a staunch member of the PDP and staunch loyalist to Okonjo Iweala who brought him in,maybe that is why he manipulated everything in favour of the SE in LOOK WHO IS GOING TO SCHOOL...


YOU ARE A BAD LOSER,SIR.

Marcelini:
That research was done by Oxford university and not by UNDP, and the flaws in their research were made bare by a more authentic MDGs attainment result which is more in consonance with the reality on ground.
.: https://www.nairaland.com/2263635/south-east-south-west-south-south-lead-attainment

That Oxford university study was published in a UNDP report and was not conducted by UNDP or UN, and the flaws inherent in that study was well highlighted in this thread. by Igbo posters there.

You can't give what you don't have. SW being less economically viable than SE cannot have lower poverty index than SE.: https://www.nairaland.com/2263635/south-east-south-west-south-south-lead-attainment


https://www.nairaland.com/2418994/ranking-nigerian-states-poverty-rates/9. See Igbo contingents demolish those flawed stats there

You are making yourself a laughing stock by providing only one link which even signifies that some northern states are economically viable than your SE going by your logic.That your solitary link was done in 2014 and the newer UNO...UNDP...OPHI collaboration poverty index encompassing 101 countries including Nigeria was done in 2015 and you are still yarning dust.Okay this is WORLD BANK report still affirming that SW towers over dreaming/fantasy inclined SE like sky to the earth...lol

WORLD BANK says...here we come with the decider/finisher.If you don't believe this,then you are somebody who argues for argument sake and you are a fluke...

Nigerian economy is revealed to be far more
diversified and dynamic than previous numbers
would suggest, with significant contributions to
growth coming from manufacturing and various
services that were underestimated in the past. The
nature of this growth implies that it is much more
concentrated in urban areas than previously
believed. Average growth in agriculture was only
4.2% during 2011-2013, and is estimated to have
fallen under to under 3% in each of 2011 and
2013. Thus, growth in agriculture in many rural
areas in Nigeria would appear to be not much
greater than population growth, which is estimated
at close to 3% for the nation.
The NER then provides an updated analysis of
poverty and living standards in Nigeria based on a
panel survey of 5,000 households that was carried
out in 2010/2011 and 2012/2013 as part of the
General Household Survey of the Nigeria National
Bureau of Statistics. The results are generally
consistent with the newly re-based GDP numbers:
· The panel survey gives evidence that the per
capital poverty rate (Nigerian definition based on
less than 3000 calorie-a-day consumption) is
significantly lower than had been previously
estimated. From this survey, it is estimated that
33.1% of the population lived below the poverty
line in 2012/2013.
· Poverty is much lower in urban areas (12.6%)
than in rural areas (44.9%), and the urban poverty
reduction dynamic is much stronger.
The NER also documents major differences in
poverty and living standards by macro-region in
Nigeria. While the South of Nigeria has relatively
low poverty rates, ranging from 16% in the South
West to 28.8% in the South East, poverty rates in
the North West and North East are 45.9% and
50.2%, respectively. While the South of Nigeria
(especially the South West) has experienced a
strong positive dynamic in poverty reduction in
recent years, the poverty rate in the North West
has remained stagnant, while poverty has actually
increased in the North East. Thus, disparities
between the North (North West, North East) and
South of Nigeria in poverty and living standards
have increased. This is no doubt related to the
recent security challenges in the Northern part of
Nigeria. Explanatory factors for the high differences
in living standards by geographical region are
likely related to differences in the provision of
public services and the degree of connectedness to
larger markets.

Marcelini:
Lol! You are the deluded one. That poverty index report was not done by UNDP and was roundly debunked and eviscerated in that thread by pazienza and other Igbo posters there.

Here are real stats on the MDGs,SW as usual is competing with the North.: https://www.nairaland.com/2263635/south-east-south-west-south-south-lead-attainment
You should be ashamed of your region.

And yes, the below stats remain a bench mark to determining how viable SE and SE are, and not your fantasies you spread in your Ibadan-Lagos:
https://www.nairaland.com/2732630

Your first link speaks of "prospects", but the above link speaks of the reality: Despite the fact the SW had engulfed greater percentage of Nigeria's commonwealth than any part of better South, SW remains least economically viable and highly indebted region.

You are really a stubborn goat.Give me different links maybe from world bank or UNO...UNDP.We gave you links,you said they were lagos-ibadan media but because I know truth permeates I went to World bank and brought the same thing,went to UNDP...UNO report encompassing 101 developing countries,you still called these neutral links propaganda...lol

I want to read the report DIRECTLY. Bring it out. Chop chop

bumoha1978@yahoo. com
v I thank my friend and Junior brother, Mr. Sam
Nda-Isiah, for inviting me to speak at this
important forum on what to do to reverse de-
industrialization in Northern Nigerian. When the
invitation was extended to me, I asked of the topic
I am to speak on and I was not given any. All my
brother wanted me to do at this Conference is to
set the tone for the experts invited to do justice to
the topic under discussion. My role therefore is
not to talk of how industrialists are to access funds
from the banking system nor even to talk on such
general issues as the importance of finance to
industrialization:
v I have been invited to contextually put Northern
Nigeria amongst other regions in Nigeria and could
easily have compared Northern economy and its
Southern Counterpart. I have chosen not to go this
route because, I want us all to see that geography,
history and the Obasanjo administration and its
reform agenda have created four (4) fairly distinct
economies in Nigerian. We as Northerners need to
appreciate where our economy currently stands
amongst other economies in Nigeria so as to
appreciate the kind of race we have to run if we
are to remain relevant in Nigeria.
v On the basis of ownership and/or control of
resources that make for economic development,
post-Obasanjo Nigeria in terms of strength could
easily be categorized into 4 economies as follows:
a) South West Economy;
b) South East plus Delta Economy;
c) Northern Economy; and
d) South South minus Delta Economy
v The four economies mentioned above are fairly
distinct with each growing at its own pace. The
South Western economy is growing at a faster rate
than all followed by South East plus Delta economy
whilst those of the North and South South minus
Delta could at best be described as stagnant. A
simple analysis of these four economies is given
below:-
a) South West Economy
South Western Nigeria with a Land Mass of 76,852
square kilometres and population of 25.2 million
today owns and/or control 60% of the nation’s
industrial capacity, 44% of banking assets, 67% of
insurance assets and is house to the nation’s
three deep sea ports of Apapa, Tin Can Island and
Roro; the busiest international airport of Ikeja, three
thermal stations of Egbin, Papalanto and
Omotosho. Today, its three major industrial
estates of Agbara, Ikeja and Otta are all linked to
gas under the West African gas pipeline plan and
piping of gas is ongoing from Otta to Abeokuta.
Added to these, the South Western population
today is the most educated as western education
came through there and education as a resource
was democratized since the early sixties.
Geographical location, democratization of western
education, availability of resources enhanced in
last 9 years and some empowerment during the
Obasanjo administration have collectively enabled
the South Western economy to rank as first of the
four economies in Nigeria. Today, the South West
as a region can boast of having a defined growing
middle class and is perceived to have at least
20,000 of its indigenes with net worth of over
N100m each. Take it out of Nigeria, the South
West economy with is defined growing middle
class and resources, will be one of the fastest
growing economies in the world.
b) The South-East plus Delta
The South Easterners plus their cousins across the
Onitsha bridge control commerce in all parts of
Nigeria and are thus largely employed. The region
has clusters of small scale industries around
Nnewi and Aba. The banking consolidation has
assisted these people to now have ownership and
or control of over 50% of Nigerian banking assets.
It also controls 21% of the nation’s insurance
assets and 20% of industrial assets. With this
development, this region which has not had a
commanding control over Nigerian economy will
certainly begin to do that now. Commercial
activities backed by finance can only grow the
economy of South-East plus Delta. The growing
strength of financial muscle of this region has been
aptly demonstrated by the recent licensing of Micro
Finance Banks. Of the over 600 MFBs recently
licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN),
Anambra State alone had 74 whilst Yobe State had
1, Sokoto 5, Zamfara 6, etc. There exists also in
this economy a middle class which will now grow
itself in number and financial muscle and will
almost certainly grow its economy inclusive
particularly of small and medium sized industrial
base.
c) The Northern Economy
The North which geographically is 719,435 Square
Kilometers or 79% of Nigeria’s landmass and has
75 million or 53.6% of Nigeria’s population has its
economy as a consequence of various reforms
introduced, been totally grounded. Today, the
North has ownership and/or control of no more
than 3% of banking assets and 2% of insurance
assets and 10% of industrial assets. True, the North
has a huge landmass but this has remained under
exploited due to jettisoning of time tested policies
of price support (as a result of abolishing of
marketing boards without putting alternatives) and
abandonment of extension services and quality
control. Also, the North has a huge population but
the population has remained largely uneducated
and/or half educated because of near failure of
governance in certain States and Local
Governments. Currently its most distinguishing
characteristic is grinding poverty. Recent poverty
statistics indicate that the poverty level of States in
the North has been on the increase in the last 9
years and reached over 80%. Its two commercial
and industrial nerve centers (Kano and Kaduna)
have seen industrial capacity utilization decline to
an all time low of less than 10%. The textile,
automobile and beverages companies that thrived
so impressively in the 1970s and 1980s have
collapsed rendering thousands jobless. Although
hydroelectricity is generated at Kainji Dam and in
lesser quantities at Shiroro Gorge and at several
smaller sites, the entire mechanisms are run on
very obsolete equipment and the performance is
consequently very epileptic and unsuitable for
meaningful economic activity.
d) The South South minus Delta
The South South is largely in the creeks of Niger
Delta and has therefore a small land mass of only
48,321 square kilometers and is populated by 13.6
Million people. Notwithstanding the fact that it is
house to Nigerian Oil wealth, this region exclusive
of oil company activities like the North is also
backward economically. It controls no more than
3% of banking assets, 10% of insurance assets and
no more than 10% of industrial assets on account
of oil related industries that the indigenes do not
control. Furthermore, its overstretched land mass
has suffered considerable degradation and its
aquatic life destroyed. As a region, its people and
economy are worst off than the North as it lacks
fresh environment, water and even good air to
breath.
v Geography, history and particularly the reform
agenda of Obasanjo’s regime have created above
very dangerous economic structure in Nigeria. By
design or by accident Northerners and South
Southerners as peoples and regions have been
made third and fourth class citizens. We may well
choose to ignore these happenings and pretend
that they have not happened but doing so will be
at the peril of the Nigerian Polity. It is indeed in the
interest of the South Westerners and the South
Easterners for some affirmative actions to be taken
to redress the situation else there will be no real
peace in this country moving forward. The so
called “religious disturbances” in the Northern
States and the Port Harcourt conundrum of kids of
less than 15 years carrying guns and terrorizing
the population will not stop until these imbalances
are consciously addressed and redressed. As the
saying goes “where the poor does not sleep
because of hunger, the rich too will not sleep
because of robbery”.
v To complement whatever redress may be agreed
to by the polity to help the grinding poverty and
unemployment in the North and South South
economies we the peoples of these regions need
to also help ourselves as nobody will develop our
regions for us. I see this Conference as one of the
avenues that my be used to chart a course for the
North. Undoubtedly, reviving collapsed and
collapsing industries and building new ones will
help. To be able to achieve these and grow the
Northern economy, we MUST:
a) Democratize education by making it available to
all our brethren in both quantity and quality. The
system we are to evolve must include the
“almajirai” and urban poor that cannot be wished
away. There is indeed a correlation between
education and development and it is only by
educating our youth that they can begin to be
productive and by so doing, we shall grow the
middle class needed to sustain economic growth;
b) Consciously fight corruption and theft of
government resources at all levels. So long as
thievery continues to be perpetrated by Northern
elites in government unchecked, so long we shall
continue to drift further from the promised land.
Furthermore, continuous thievery as we are
witnessing in our recent history is preventing the
emergence of a credible leadership in the North.
We have in recent past had enough resources in
our States and Local Governments to revert the
ugly social trends in our Northern Society but the
resources were and are being stolen;
c) Demand of the Federal Government for the
development of energy sector in other areas as
done to South West. For the North, this could be
achieved by fast tracking the construction of
Gembu and Zungeru Hydro Power Stations and
upgrading of Kainji Stations by putting more
turbines as well as extending the gas pipeline from
Ajaokuta to Kano via Kaduna with a tee off at
Funtua and Gusau so as to service existing
industries and encouraging the emergence of
others;
d) Demand for the moderation of certain policies of
previous administrations which ruined Northern
economy as implementation of undiluted market
oriented reforms as we have seen do not bring
about human development. Furthermore, any
policy by any Government which hurts majority of
its people no matter how good need be
reexamined. Government should all be about
improvement of the welfare of its citizens and not
pauperizing them.
e) Make agriculture an economically viable activity
as it is the only way that we can use in making
our people have purchasing power to support any
industrial rebirth as whatever is produced must be
sold and for it to be sold, it needs a population
that has purchasing power. Agriculture need to be
made viable within the shortest possible time by:
i) Supporting price of agricultural produce by
reintroducing price and quality support as done by
the defunct Marketing Boards; and
ii) Improving yield of farmers through extension
services, use of good seeds and the research
results lying on the shelves of our research
institutes nationwide.
f) Erect on the gas pipelines to be laid jointly with
our Governments and other Nigerians, at least
three Urea plants in Kogi, Niger and Kaduna States
as a means of making fertilizers available to our
peasant farmers at affordable prices. Such a move
will make available to our farmers fertilizers at no
more than half of their current prices without any
subsidy and the subsidy could go to its area of
most need, price support.
g) To ameliorate the negative consequences of not
having banking industry in our region, urgently
work with our States and Local Governments to
create in the next two years, 9 regional banks as
follows which would ensure that all the Local
Government headquarters in the North have bank
branches in the next 4 years.
S/No. States to Cover Headquarters
1 Kaduna/Katsina Katsina
2 Kano/Jigawa Jigawa
3 Sokoto/Kebbi/Zamfara Sokoto
4 Borno/Yobe Damaturu
5 Yola/Taraba Yola
6 Bauchi/Gombe Bauchi
7 Benue/Plateau Makurdi
8 Nassarawa/Niger Lafia
9 Kogi/Kwara Ilorin
Additionally, our rich businessmen should be
urged to set up as many unit banks as possible to
complement the regional banks.
v Finally, distinguish ladies and gentlemen, one
would want to humbly suggest on industrialization
that our focus in the immediate future should be
on small and medium sized industries that are to
process for local or export markets, agro allied
products. My choice for small and medium sized
industries is informed by the fact that they require
less capitalization to set up and also less energy
and skill to run. Processing of agro allied products
will impact positively on growth of agriculture, the
mainstay of Northern economy. For now and until
we move as a community from agriculture to
industry, our growth economically is tied down to
agriculture.
I do hope the above views and suggestions will
help discussants and participants alike in analyzing
the declension into which the entire Northern
Region has been plunged over the last couple of
decades. I hope this Conference will also set in
motion a process of economic revival in the entire
North and I sincerely commend Leadership for
organizing this Confab.
Happy deliberations:

Yes,he is a genius:
A genius is a person who displays exceptional
intellectual ability or originality, typically to a
degree that is associated with the achievement of
new advances(like making 5.0 in engineering and winning best award in NUCLEAR research(USA) ) in a domain of knowledge. Despite
the presence of scholars in many subjects in
history, many geniuses have shown high
achievements only in a single subject, unlike the
talented people. There is no scientifically
precise definition of genius, and the question of
whether the notion itself has any real meaning has
long been a subject of debate, although
psychologists are converging on a definition that
emphasizes creativity and eminent achievement.
Sir,I have been to FUTO website and there is no Ibeh that got 5.0.Why didn't the newspapers carry this laudable feat.I am sure you are not being truthful.If you want me to learn anything about Dr Ibe,put the link or I still insist that we have only 3 Nigerians who have broken this educational record:

BRAVO..that is swell.
I am sorry.who is Dr Ibe.Give a link...cheers.

EasternActivist:
Thank you.
That's the people am indirectly referring to, whom has no free education in them yet the number of failed candidate joining this year jamb registration isn't a call for celebration but reflection.

Well...there are two sides to a coin or is it three? A student grabbed a coin,flipped it in the air and said:
"Head, I go to sleep."
Tail, I watch a movie.
If it stands on the edge I'll study...lol
Just ponder and you would get the drift.Cheers

odomanis:
In case you just came back to Nigeria, The last Jamb result and even the last WAEC result, same IMO came out tops.

It is not a fluke. In IMO, education is serious business. Everybody, I mean everybody wants to be educated. That is why IMO currently has the highest number of Professors in Nigeria.

Go and check.

Seriously bro,everybody knows that Ekiti state has the highest number of profs. but I am learning that it is otherwise now.Kindly provide the link or screenshot...thanks.

EasternActivist:
Is there also free education in 2nd and 3rd??

Seriously,my Imo state friends told me that they are going back home to enjoy the free dish.2nd and 3rd are natural...lol

EasternActivist:
You sure say you know idiom.

How do you pass your waec Sef??

You are still arguing...oh okay...you are Igbo...lol.They do not call that idioms.
It is" IN DROVES" not grooves...cheers

EasternActivist:
There is no cause to celebrate those with the highest turn out for the jamb because looking at it in another point of view, is just seems like those that couldn't make it in previous years are now much in these state and thus the big turnouts.

Mainly due to the free education thingy in Imo state...kudos.
They should utilise this advantage adequately...
