UGBE634:
I was talking about land size, it is easier to develop those smaller enclave than Benin a mighty city, those aforementioned towns are surburbs of Benin which owerri, aba and onitsha won't be bigger than

what a silly excuse, what is so big about Benin for you to come up with a silly excuse as this, keep deceiving yourself there, go read your book, in terms of population and landmass Benin City is not even in the top 5 biggest cities in Nigeria.

UGBE634:
first you nor be Edo person , second you go dae compare Agbor with Uselu, Benin too big to compare with Agbor. Where for Oredo Agbor fine pass even for Egor and Ikpoba Okha. Those places that has been settled as Benin before 1991. Not those entrenches you refer to as Benin. Not those surburbs you foreigner migrate and settle in that you refer to as Benin.

You know how big is Benin today, you are comparing Agbor, a local government town with Benin that has entrenched herself properly into 5 Lgas. Two of them of which are very large over two thousand kilometres each. Benin city as it is presently constituted today is far bigger than Ika two local government areas in delta state. That is to give you a proper definition. Benin city today is bigger than Agbor, Owa, Abavo, Igbodo, Umunede,etc Ika towns combined by landmass and population. Next time know towns whey you go call Agbor with, Agbor- Uselu, Agbor- Uwelu, Agbor- Eyean, Agbor- Aduwawa, Agbor- Ugbiyioko make quarell for nor dae

oga, first I believe you are not more of an edo than I am, my parents are edo and I was born, raised in edo. Nobody is comparing size here, nobody ask you amongst the two places which is bigger or older, the simple question is which is finer? Oga, apart from Oredo local govt area no other local govt can be termed as fine in the whole edo state, everything about edo state is Benin City and honestly there's nothing to write home about Benin, what is beautiful about Benin abeg? Is it ring road or GRA that doesn't even have good roads? I see you calling places ikpobal hill, eyaen etc oga none of these place is fine, agbor roads are tarred even up to most streets and farm roads, apart from some major roads in benin how many good roads are in benin, holdup everywhere yet no one single flyover in the whole state, nothing nothing, and you are comparing Benin to these places, apart from individuals thriving in Benin, buying cars and building houses there no other single thing to write home about Benin City. I repeat, Benin City is the least developed capital city in Southern Nigeria.

blackpanda:
50bn is not even enough to pay salaries let alone construct roads, markets etc. No state except Lagos and ogun can function without FGN intervention.

Also it's not a policy, it's a judgment. Judgment that is already on appeal.

But if I'm buhari I will allow states collect. But all the judges will have no salary till fgn completes the appeal process. Since they are also a beneficiary of the VAT. Let the state govt pay them from the collection

but this thing pain una sha!!!

Ibkhaleel01:
Unjust hatred for people will consume you. We see the obvious in the very hilarious VAT battle that is happening. I just dey observe.
Many supported Governor Wike's decision to be collecting VAT because they say "the North contributes nothing and they want to be collecting". But if they know their facts they will understand that they are digging a hole for themselves. They will realize it is all of us that will suffer when States collect VAT.
First of all, after Lagos, the next place that contributes the highest VAT (20%) is the FCT which is in the North. Yes this is followed by Rivers at 6% but Kano is next with 5% and this is followed by Kaduna. So no, it is not as you have been misinformed. The only special case is Lagos. So your State will suffer. Even Lagos will suffer with much more people migrating there. When resources are shared among Federating Units, it is shallow to always think it is injustice. Give Lagos 100% of it's VAT, Mukaila from Sokoto, Chinedu from Aba and even Lasisi from Osun will all migrate there. So what is the point again?
Secondly, in the federal system, companies with less than 25 million were not VATable. You think you are doing Northerners but your company will become VATable once Wike's law is replicated in your State. Why do you think commercially massive States like Abia and Anambra do not top the list of VAT contributors? Because those boys in the market were not exactly VATable, wait until what you are blindly supporting takes effect. VAT will be collected like motor park tickets. Then you will see where hate has led you.
Third, people will most likely pay VAT twice across different states with different laws because Wike does not know what is input and output VAT and did not listen to Nojeem Olasubomi Yusuf and others who politely asked him about it.
Some have even termed Wike the leader of restructuring in Nigeria. A gullible people in search of heroes. Being used and misled by every opportunist. Stop allowing yourself to be used by politicians to settle their personal scores while they tell you they are fighting for your interest.
You need to first know what your interest is to know who is actually fighting for or against it

only you write three long pages just to express your pains from this development, the thing pain una sha, so you think because you are writing from your one room apartment from katsina you are more versed about VAT than a governor of a state? Keep deceiving yourself and your ilks, keep crying, all I can do is send you handkerchief, weather the governors will squander the money shouldn't be your headache all the states are asking for is to give them what rightfully belongs to them, let the southern governors collect their vat themselves then you can advocate for the federal govt to continue collecting that of north, if at all an average northerner doesn't have a mind of his own, either they are being controlled by the few big men in their society and running after them shouting yakandede with a plate at hand or they are being controlled by the tenets of their religion through their imam, you can't force your retrogressive thinking and attitude on southerners and did I hear you say Abuja is a norther state? Ekpa

Who are you? If truly you are a son of Edo state and you dare open your mouth to bad mouth your governor then you are playing with a curses.

You are not wise at all

Rubbish

na that curse go blind you as you have already chosen to go blind againsy the nonsense of a governor.

Saltybear:
Heheheehehe

This is what sets us apart from the rest of the south.. especially the southwest.

In Niger Delta we don't praise touts , criminals or cocaine lovers. We don't see youths protesting for their rights and massacre them.

We don't betray or speak from both sides of the mouth. We don't have thugs and hired killers like MC oluomo as our tribal heroes ... Never !!!

Go to my Edo state and see what we did to the likes of Bobby , Lucky igbinedion, Oshiomole.

We don't have heroes who are cocaine lovers as they do in the southwest

i do not know in what category you are mentioning lucky igbinedion and oshiomhole here, isn't that foolishness? I'm from edo state but sadly edo is the most backward state in the whole south south Abi you no dey travel? For your info, if you are boasting we did somthing to lucky and oshiomhole I wonder and waiting for what you will do to Obaseki who is by every standard the worse governor the Nigeria politics has ever produced in history, nobody talks about the calamity we have as a governor, a useless and worthless governor, despite the high Igr and federal allocation Obaseki has rendered edo state handicapped, infrastructure is zero, security is at all time worse, nothing nothing and you are here castigating people that showed edo state small light. If you are from edo state as you claim you would know the lucky igbinedion is light years ahead of obaseki in governance, lucky igbinedion built colleges of education but the useless Obaseki since he came has closed down every working institution in edo state up to primary and secondary school, parents now contribute money to pay teachers in edo govt secondary schools today

MALIGNANTGuest:
How can ATIKU pay such a huge amount of money to destroy an EMPTY VESSEL?
How can he spend such to destroy someone who perpetually & consistently destroys himself?
This clearly renders such News Null & Void.
It's completely Fake, in its entirety.

keep deceiving yourself there.

Mccullum:
As they latter ran out of ordinary Afghanistan, I trust US but not on war again.

come to think of it, what do they stand to gain if they continue staying there? For the time they were there how many American casualties Did you hear about? They even overstayed there, their mission was long accomplished, they invaded the country because of Osama and he was killed, they successfully changed the govt and the country witnessed significant peace for this 20 years, the cache of arms and animations seized by Talibans you think they were seized directly from the American troops? They were seized from the Afghan army, have you seen the videos of American troops training the Afghan army? The Afghan army were playing on training ground, they would come for training and start playing and cracking jokes at the American army training them, they are all Taliban apologists and wanted to be back to the Islamic rule and what do you want America to do, to continue wasting billions and lives fighting for people that don't appreciate or even know whay is being done for them?

Mossadd:
Taiwan should just chill,they should not allow USA and UK push them because China will turn that little colony into ashes within 48hours and USA and UK will do nothing than useless condemnation.they should go ask Afghanistan

you just want to blame US and UK at any given opportunity, how are they pushing China? how is US pushing China when a country don't want to be a colony to another country but just want independence?

Affiliate marketing

can a Nigerian really make money from affiliate marketing given that most affiliate marketing platforms don't accept Nigeria IP?

DoggoneDogg:
Then you must be a kid.

old man, I greet you.
I wish you knew the meaning of kid, anybody born in the 90s is not a kid and man, I was born before the 90s. That for that.
I own a budding music blog, first of its kind in nigeria. I have listened to a whole lot of hip hop arts even from way back before I was born, I have an arsenal of Hip Hop albums my man, I have all common's albums, kkk, nas, I have done eazy E albums likewise bone thugs and harmony, I have witnessed various transitions in the Hip Hop since the late 80s till the Rodd waves, king von and Lil durks of this time. This song, Runaway by Kanye is that song I enjoy the instrumentals without the lyrics, the beat is one of the most beautiful Hip Hop beats I've heard and one of Kanye's best ever, that song is one perfect song I have heard, pusha t verse were rejected thrice before the last one was accepted eventually. The song addressed a whole lot about Kanye's personal life and the brouhaha he had with Taylor Swift earlier, it was on this song the popular phrase "toast to the douchbags" spread over America. The song was released 2010 and it was rated the best song of the year by Rolling Stone, old man I hope you know Rolling Stone is an authority in music ratings in America? This is what Rolling Stone has to say about the song ""in 2010, no other song was so crazily epic or jaw-droppingly gorgeous — not on the radio, not anywhere." I repeat again, Runaway by Kanye is my favorite Hip Hop song of all time. Old papa tell me yours and I would like to know what is grandpa's favorite Hip Hop song.

Japhet04:
but I believe you grew into this confidence, I mean with all your outstanding achievements in life it's very much expected that you portray enormous self confidence... I can't really say the same for most other young Nigerian guys.

which confidence abeg? What you are seeing is a chronic introvert who uses nairaland to blow off some steam and buy all of y'all attention that he lacks in real life with 1k card to make him feel good. All these childish stuffs.

NwaAmaikpe:





This reminds me of Pusha T's verse on Kanye West's song 'Runaway'.

"I-I-I-I did it, alright, alright, I admit it
Now pick your next move, you could leave or live with it
...
Split and go where? Back to wearing knock-offs?
...
Every bag, every blouse, every bracelet
Comes with a price tag, baby, face it.
You should leave if you can't accept the basics,
Plenty hoes in the baller-nigga matrix"

She wanted to leave.
But where will she split and go to?
Back to eating kwili-kwili, palm kernels and sour garri with her mother as a Macaulay?
The wise woman in her saw it's in her best interest to live with it.

But some damages can't be remedied, some things can't be retracted and the internet's records can never be totally erased.
An example of such is Annie's senile and infantile IG rant and because 'life is no Nintendo game', I hope she doesn't get another chance.

She demonized Tuface's mom, fought his siblings, vilified his family and attacked his truest confidant of all these years, Efe Omorogbe.
Whom the gods want to kill, they first make mad and that's why Annie in a fit of rage bit more than she could ever chew.

She's only helped make Tuface look unfortunate for ditching Pero to marry her.
There's no one in the Idibia circle to have her back when her matter is brought up.

Now is the time.
The time for Innocent to do the right thing and make Pero his official wife.

That's the best crown he can give a woman who's been loyal to him, true to him, one who respects the very ground he steps on and one who only wants the best for him regardless.

Most important to me, she's the one who first gave him his male offsprings.
So she has superior traditional rights in Tuface's life.

Runaway by Kanye and pusha t is my favorite Hip Hop song of all time.

Emeka71:
Complete lies.

no be lie baba, there is nothing in Benin, towns like ughelli has better looks and roads than Benin. There's no single thing that can amaze or catch your attention in Benin

danilmo:
If this is what we can have without God fatherism I think it's better we have the Lagos working system and Godfather instead.. PDP obsseki only use that gimmick and we fell for it..

Obaseki has failed Edo. Truly an MOU Gov.

somtimes I try to flashback on the most disastrous state governors I have ever seen or heard of in Nigeria and sadly no one beats obaseki in uselessness, the infamous lucky igbinedion term is a million times better than this, yahaya Bello is a workaholic compared to Obaseki, just name any useless governor you've heard about and he is far better than obaseki, It beats my imagination why my fellow edolites are refusing to speak up.

BigRocky:
Oshiomole suffer dat day Sha.

Edo people use APC sweep ground

Things we luv to see

obaseki has been the most useless governor Nigeria politics has ever produced. Just come over to Benin and see for yourself, we are suffering in edo state, from erosion to perennial holdup to insecurity to bad roads. Yet there is no single govt presence in our state, Obaseki is a dark spot in the history of edo state and I regret the day I voted for this dunce of a man. He even forgot he is a governor of a state, he would just wake up and think of the next opposition building or investment to destroy and go back home just like every other edolites.

Exactly what I'm looking for, one of the main reasons I'm not married yet is because I haven't found anyone ready to settle down yet. I love the vibes.

some of these men has a way they dress sometimes, he could have up to 50 pairs of this same shoes he changes everyday.

Haha MrCork, how's peckham

seunlayi:
100% haters.

I'm not hating, that's what you mumu's and backward people always say when they speak the truth about the people you mumus supports, until we start speaking truth to our leaders they will keep deceiving us just as they have successfully deceived an old mumu like you to believe a renovated stadium cannot be commissioned without fanfare. The National Stadium Abuja was renovated just few weeks back by Alinko dangote, did they bring the super eagles to commission it? Receive sense bro and be free from spirit of cluelessness like our clueless leaders.

seunlayi:
Stop your mumuish, a stadium commissioning is not like other projects, it requires publicity, hosting of events which includes sporting events. They're is no stadium commissioning without fanfare. Take note

chai, which of the village are you from abeg? With people with zero reasoning capacity like you all over Nigeria we will never move forward, I ask again, what is there in commissioning a "renovated" stadium ? I mean has this stadium not been there all along abi na brand new stadium nee? Is this worth the fanfare? What is there in a renovated stadium abeg? This one no get sense o, chai.

Indelibleage:
Check other APC governed states and let's have those working and commissioning projects like this PDPs. They have something to deliver per time frame. Stop the hate!

he said the truth,it is not everything you bring apc and pdp into, what is there to commission in a renovated stadium? Abeg reason am na, what if he build new one?
