Learn how to hide your pain sometimes,

Your friend up their said Zik had friends in the North and SW and I showed him what his friend said about him? You kinsman introduced zik, I just finished what h started.

ndo

Who are Awo's friends in the North and East? Simple question (for a history ignoramus like me )
Shagari was never Zik's friend; they were never mates, even. Zik dined with Sardauna and Tafawa and hundred of great Yorubas. Shagari was a newbie then.

Other contemporaries of Awo's had friends across the ethnic divide

For e.g., Zik had friends in the North and SW
Adeniran Ogunsaya and a host of other great SWners were Zik's friends
Tafawa Balewa and Sardauna had friends in the East and West

Who was Awo's friend in the East and North?
I need names, names and more names, for my ''DSc thesis'' to be published at the University of P.H. (apologies to the nairalander Great1 https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-781357.0.html )

Why Did Awo Loose (sic) The 1979 Election?

It is lose and not loose (syn: untightened)

You need to buy and read the classic English Language book called Common Mistakes in English.

You are a big mumu. You live in Canada, yet you do not know that there are fed, state and local taxes.
I know your motive: you want to steal money in the name of tax from those Igbo merchants who build the economy of Lagos. Onye oshi.

alj_harem:
You are right but my point is hausa and yorubas don't like going to the SE

I know yorubas that have lived in warri and borno all there lifes even to 2-3 generations

same with fulani and hausa that have lived in the SW all there lifes

same with Igbos in the north and SW

but it is rare to see the same case in the SE, what I mean is it is rare to see as you call it Yoruba or hausa to have 2-3 generations in the SE.

that does not mean they are not there.

You are a fake pundit. Your lies will always find you out. It was here on NL that we read an hausa man who has lived in Igboland for 81 years with his family.
You have not stepped your feet outside your Yorubaland; so stop claiming. Okay!!!!

So practically MOST Yoruba states cannot survive if oil money is taken from their mouth.
No wonder separation from Nigeria is not an option in those parts.
I told them not to prance about with some phoney GDP figures based solely on fed allocation.

Why waste my tax payer money trying an ungrateful almajiri? He should have been shot dead once arrested. He is a Boko Haram progenitor.

Some bombshell

Other states listed to be in critical positions include Adamawa, Benue, Edo, Ekiti, Osun and Plateau.
Specifically, the report stated that Adamawa with a yearly revenue base of N29.2 billion will expend N15.21 billion on salaries and wages, which represent a 52.1 per cent of personnel cost of the total revenue, while Benue with a N35.3 billion yearly revenue, which yearly salaries will gulp N19.37 billion or 54.9 per cent of personnel cost.

0 of 5 SE states is listed as critical (highly, highly unhealthy)
2 of 6 SW states are listed as critical (Ekiti, land of paper professors and Osun, land of rascals)

Who is worse off?

I dey laugh oh! And am doing so in Aregbesola language

Plateau has N28.1 billion as total revenue with N15.99 billion as personnel cost or a 56.9 per cent.
According to the source, states described as unhealthy are Cross River, Ebonyi, Enugu, Kaduna, Kogi, O[b]gun, Ondo[/b], Taraba and Yobe.

2 of 5 SE states are unhealthy

2 of  6 SW states are unhealthy

The following states were described as healthy and therefore can pay the 30-per-cent incremental wage bill. They are: Abia, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Delta, Gombe, Imo, Jigawa, Kebbi, Kwara, Lagos, Nasarawa, Oyo and Rivers.

I understand that Nigeria as a whole is a poor country, albeit self-induced poverty.
But let's do some basic math here
3 of 5 SE states are healthy (by Nigerian standards)
2 of 6 SW states are healthy by the same standards
Not even considering that one-half of Lagos is essentially Igbo?

Who is better off?

Very much a roll call thing. If EFCC never arrest you, you are not a big boy. lol

Sad! Sad!! Sad!!! Listen to the lyrics closely

The little you can see is not dirty, the roofs are just rusted, we have had bad government in that state in the last 8 to 12 years, so, I am not surprised by the decadence, hopefully the new governor can do something better.

Yes, Ibadan is one helluva rusty town. The main city is a babel of rust but you can find some fairly decent (read new) buildings in the suburbs and in outlying areas such as Akobo, parts of Bodija (not the market-dirtiest in the world), few places around Oluyole, and a few other places around IITA (after Ojoo). Moniya is another heavily rusty part of the state.

Is it even possible that any buses would have traveled to Libya from Nigeria across the desert with all the bombs and bullet flying about?

The Nigerians would most likely have managed to escape to Niger Republic and then got Nigerian buses (most of which are privately Igbo-owned) that normally ply Niger-Nigeria routes. That is the likely scenario.

http://nationalmirroronline.net/news/21458.html


no idea of the specifics.


can someone find out the destination plz.

You said buses were sent from the SE. So please expplain what you know more. On what basis would a SE state or states send buses to pick people from Libya? Any possibility in that?

Do you realize that 90% of all luxurious buses are owned by private Igbo persons and as such any bus plying in and out of Nigeria (doing their job) will be most likely Igbo-owned?

tpia@:
but the fact that luxurious buses from the east were sent to pick up the libyans, seems to be a pointer?

Source. Thanks. Were luxurious buses sent from the East to pick them or a luxurious bus owned by an easterner was doing his duty of plying people from place to place? Do you realize that those buses ply a lot of west african routes?

~Bluetooth:
So the luxurious buses from the SOUTH EAST that was sent to libya  to bring some ibos  was also false too ?

Where did you read that from? Is that one more of your fake reporting?

ABOUT US (no mention of Odua ownership)

Union Bank of Nigeria Plc was established in 1917 as Colonial Bank with its first branch in Lagos. In 1925, Barclays Bank acquired the Colonial Bank, which resulted in the change of the Bank's name to Barclays Bank (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas). Following the enactment of the Companies Act 1968 and the legal requirement for all foreign subsidiaries to be incorporated locally, Barclays Bank (D C O) in 1969 was incorporated as Barclays Bank of Nigeria Limited. The ownership structure of Barclays Bank remained un-changed until 1971 when 8.33% of the Bank’s shares were offered to Nigerians. In the same year, the Bank was listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. As a result of the Nigeria Enterprises Promotion Act of 1972, the Federal Government of Nigeria acquired 51.67% of the Bank’s shares, which left Barclays Bank Plc, London with only 40%. By the enactment of the 1972 and 1977 Nigeria Enterprises Promotion Acts, Barclays Bank International disposed its shareholding to Nigerians in 1979. To reflect the new ownership structure and in compliance with the Companies and Allied Matters Act of 1990, it assumed the name Union Bank of Nigeria Plc.

In consonance with the government's programme of privatisation and commercialisation of public enterprises, the Federal Government in 1993 sold its shares in Union Bank to private individuals. Thus,Union Bank became fully owned by Nigerian citizens and organisations.

In line with the Central Bank of Nigeria's banking sector consolidation policy, Union Bank of Nigeria Plc acquired the former Universal Trust Bank Plc and Broad Bank Ltd and absorbed its erstwhile subsidiary Union Merchant Bank Ltd. The Bank also increased its shareholders' funds through a Public Offer/Rights Issue in the last quarter of 2005.
The Bank has 379 branches across the country, all of which are on-line real time. As at December 31, 2010 the bank's gross earnings was N113.961 billion; profit after tax was N118.016 billion and total assets was N845.231 billion.

Our History

Today’s United Bank for Africa Plc (UBA) is the product of the merger of Nigeria’s third (3rd) and fifth (5th) largest banks, namely the old UBA and the erstwhile Standard Trust Bank Plc (STB) respectively, and a subsequent acquisition of the erstwhile Continental Trust Bank Limited (CTB). The union emerged as the first successful corporate combination in the history of Nigerian banking.

UBA’s history dates back to 1948 when the British and French Bank Limited (“BFB”) commenced business in Nigeria and the erstwhile STB and CTB both in 1990. Following Nigeria’s independence from Britain, UBA was incorporated in 1961 to take over the business of BFB. Although today’s UBA emerged at a time of industry consolidation induced by regulation, the consolidated UBA was borne out of a desire to lead the domestic sector to a new era of global relevance by championing the creation of the Nigerian consumer finance market, leading a private/public sector partnership at supporting the acceleration of Nigeria’s economic development, and growing the institution from a banking to a one-stop financial services institution, while spreading its footprints across Africa to earn the reputation as the face of banking in the continent.

Today, United Bank for Africa Plc, having adopted the the Holding company model is one of Africa’s leading financial institutions offering universal banking to more than 7.2 million customers across 750 branches in 18 African countries. With presence in New York, London and Paris and assets in excess of $19bn, UBA is your partner for banking services for Africans and African related businesses globally.
