Deen77:
Yes, the same way Jonathan did against BH.

Come on, you can do better. Challenge me intellectually not with this expired style of defending APC (Blame games) and for the records, im not a Jonathan fan or Buharri fan, I am a man who wants equal rights and justice for all.

OmoOlomu:
in case you don't know fashola children resides here in surulere. amosun street near itolo girls high school and the power situation over there has been worse even when he was a governor. what am trying to say is let's be constructive in our criticism, that is how we can move this country forward

[size=20pt]he should have also said his children was among the dead victims of fulani terrorist , their kids drive in tinted suvs so how can you even know when the kids go in and out of their compound talkless of knowing if they are in based in Nigeria at the moment. This people protect their kids physically with the best in life and spiritually with 1st class juju.
I have met some of them here though from the north and the way they spend their fathers money here ehh , you will pity for the poor masses back home in Nigeria.[/size]

amaechi1:
You wanted him to comment and he has giving directive. What else so you want him to do? The root cause of this menace is a function of degrade security systems. In as much I do wish anybody to be killed, we should also be vigilant.

Heres what he should have done; What has been happening deserves a public speech from mr. president condemning the attacks and also a sincere apology to victims and their families that must be aired live on all TV and radio stations across the country. Thats what a real democratic leader would have done weeks ago not this speech during a book lunch.
Where did the poor masses go wrong ? I really agree with you on the part for people to be more vigilant.

No be lie, 512 is no more the heart of festac... Even the famous hearts xclusive is now gone...frankids park is now an event centre.... Miss the good old festac town, I still dey rep festac sha....

Beremx:
7up the difference is clear.





I remember those days in Festac town we gathered at 512road junction to watch Fido Dido on a big screen doing his thing.

good memories!


lalasticlala, dem never born you that time na!

buyAride:
No way!
Stand your ground!
Emphasis on YOUR Ground

Thanks for being reasonable and neutral in this issue, do not be bullied by few insane people into exchanging insults. We have a common enemy now so the wise thong to do is tackle this common issue of fulani killerz, may you be blessed in all you do.

buyAride:
Dont mind that chap joor!

You are right! NOTHING!!
Its silly and largely IGNORANT people who feats on this hatred.

Unfortunately, it seems to be even worse amongst the YOUTHS!

Youre spot on and what worries me the most is they are the future of our country. At a time when an Igbo man marrying a yoruba woman is no longer regarded as a big deal this hatred will/may resurrect this ill reasoning from both tribes leading to hatred for each other in future for a crime they did not commit.

luvprince4real:
reasons y i like onitsha boys.

So Enugu people are not igbos abi, when theres danger we start calling names of our village cuz hand never reach there, nwanne wereall igbos so dont try to make ndi onitsha look more superior. This affects all igbos cuz they are our brothers.

Fugazi:
Story for the gods. The only thing that has united Ibos so far is their hatred for their big brothers, Yorubas.

How are yorubas big brothers to Igbo? Thats a hypothetical question so lets face the topic cuz same goes for the yorubas. The worse part is our parents had love for each other but we have gotten so bitter with each other to the extent we have not asked and answered a simple question, WHY DO WE HATE EACH OTHER AND WHAT DO WE STAND TO GAIN IN HATING EACH OTHER? My answer for both questions, NOTHING.
Tell me where i went wrong.

San60:
IPob mission is to restore biafra not fued with fulani.

People dey die you dey talk ipob? Will Biafra inhabitants be dead people? Bro this is time for fued with fulani terrorist cuz they are killers.

oboy3:
@bold,those ones making mockery remarks on this thread are not yorobaas bah?
or you are wearing ur glasses upside down?

He said sane yorubas so i guess those ones mocking the Igbos are insane so my bro you shouldnt have insulted him. Im Igbo and like some one said, we will only gain our respect when we attack them in their land not by attacking them in our land. Soon u will see a man in the neighboring village increasing rent instead of giving shelter to those running for safety. Ndigbo need to learn how to look out for each other and accept constructive criticism because its a big blow to our reputation for fulanis to invade n kill our people in our own land. Enough of the boasting online, lets unite and wake up NOW.

WiseBully:
A Christian who doesn't do churches?

Supported because in heaven there is no Catholic or methodist avenue or a special place for people attending apostolic church. Lets focus more on our way of life and how to show people the light of salvation instead of preaching prosperity and churches.

joborskill:
[b]I laugh at the ignorance displayed by many emotionally clouded Nigerians who are against the grazing bill proposed for the Fulani cattle rearers in all states of the Federation. Let's remember that like every other Nigerians, the Fulani's have the right to live and do their business in any part of the country. It is their constitutional right as Nigerians to own grazing fields in any choice location of the country so far it is paid for or provided by the government. We ought to applaud the move made by the federal govt because it will help in ending the unnecessary violence between the Farmers and the Herdsmen. By provision of grazing fields, the fulani's will be restricted to graze on an apportioned land provided by the federal govt. It will be a crime for them to graze their cattles on people's farms once the bill is passed into law. We should not castigate every fulani herdmen as killers because of the few bad ones among them. The incidence in Agatu and other parts of the country were perpetuated by cattle rustlers and not Fulani herdsmen. Cattle rustlers are armed terrorist who steal cattles from herdsmen and graze them around the country as a cover up for their terrorist acts. The ordinary Fulani herdsmen are peaceful people and will never harm innocent Nigerians. The fulani's do not move around with weapons but sticks to guide their cattle. I observed most critics of this Bill are from the eastern part of the country. The igbos need to realize that the federal govt owns all the land and territories in Nigeria and it can decide on how it chooses to use every inch of its territory. The fulani's have every right to graze in the SE and there is nothing any one can do about it. It is their right as a Nigerian just like the igbos are the most travelled tribe doing business in every part of the country. We cannot decide to restrict all igbo traders to the east because of the attitude of few bad eggs amongst them likewise the Fulani's. Most Nigerians criticized the federal govt when they decide to create ranches and import grasses from Brazil to graze these cattles so the herder wont roam about. Now the FG is shifting plans to create a grazing site for the herders in every state which is not a bad move by all standards. We are one Nigeria and we must learn to tolerate ourselves and live in peace. We must shun the politics of hatred and tribalism. Lord Luggard saw the potentials in our diversity before merging us up to form this great country. We must not allow ethnicity to cloud our sense of judgement when the federal govt proposes law that will favour every Nigerian. We must support the grazing bill so the Fulani's can do their business in peace. BTW i am a Yoruba man from the SW. proudly Nigerian [/b]

Comparing Igbo business men to Fulani Herdsmen just shows your level of tribalistic reasoning. SMH

otiigba1:
Really? Has it got this scary? Here is me thinking of Relocating to nigeria so your advice for me is to stay put here in England with my family right?

You just spoke my mind. Up till today my Mrs. kept ringing the bell of relocating but shes not a fan of nairaland so she doest feel what i guess were both feeling. hmmm scary man, its damn scary.

I had no knowledge and i still dont have much because it was managed by a relative who claimed to know about how it is handled. Tips from lessons i learnt the hard way -

Try to buy brand new or very sharp tokunbo vehicles then place them on hore purchase after you must have gotten your capital and profits. The drivers are the foundation of the bussiness so the best way is to personally interview the drivers before handing the keys to him. You must be prepaires for the worse due to the high level of insecurity in Nigeria. The last n most important, dont mix bussiness with pleasure so family n friends should not try to lure you into employing a careless ogogoro driver. All the best

MPVGoddess:
I'd love to talk to you because I am investing in the transport business as well.

So i don't get it wrong

i live with my wife and daughter so sharing is not an option.

Cash flow aint like it was for now and as for the investment part, that was 2 years ago and youre absolutely spot on because i was convinced it would be well handled even when i go back to base but i learnt the hard way. I tried real estate afterwards and i was scammed into buying some ones land which even almost went spiritual when i saw charms in the land. Now, vacation brings me back home and real estate is the main cuz im wiser now. Home will always have feeling money can never buy

Etinosajay:
3bedroom is quite huge. You should consider sharing and splitting cost, except you have your family (wife and kids) with you.

Meanwhile, I'm interested in knowing what city you live in and what you do (job) because that's what huge budget ($9k/year or 2.7m) for accommodation only.

Most investors who are absent of their investment rarely make appreciable turnover because no one is a better manager or bearer of the vision than the investor himself. A little deviation may be in real estate management, still you must visit quarterly after all no place like home.

daretodiffer:
There is nothing wrong with two weeks in a month if the child can survive without its mother. Na for driver to drop her with her mother for the remaining two weeks.

Do not be deceived, my cousin lost custody of her baby. The rich can bend the law so one must be careful

Abeg speak broken na, na by force? And you still wonder why men around you cant learn from you dear, look no further cuz the answers right before you.

KashyBaby:
Lol..when did I insulted u?


U mistaken me or maybe coz u bashed me first, so I juz hit u back...

This is the thing, Men like to bashed women down here & they tot it's OK...but when we bashed back, they felt insulted, they felt it was a racist comment...

Men never learn..

Abbeyunique2:
Forget Oga, the person that comes to my mind b4 i sleep nah that idiot wey owe me money #FACT

Epic.

Guy how did you know his tribe? Ogbeni wake up jor. Its time to be United not calling names.

bittertruthz:
shut up. bloody igbo..................... These fulani herdsmen didn't start today.
Meanwhile, the stup1d gov. should deploy security operatives to go after the fulani herdsmen mercilessly instead of playing politics and visiting victim family.

All communities and villages should wake up and resist herdsmen. Kill them anywhere you see them around your farm.

This should sound as a warning to the youths, no politician is worth dying for. Soon you will see Amaechi and Wike smiling lile roasted he goats while the blood of some people was spilled cause of their ambitious hunger to eat the national cake. Bunch of old same wines in different bottles.

Mine is 750 dollars monthly 3 bedrooms all ensuite and a large sitting room with 2 balconys and nice setrings. I never are bills oo. Honestly competition, the wife you marry, the kind of friends you keep abroad and comfort has made most of us spend fortunes here while most of us dont even have bicycle back home. Now that cash is not flowing worldwide like before our eyes don open but naija news is not helping matters at the moment. I invested in transport bussiness 2 years ago as i am talking to you i have sold almost all the vehicles cuz of bad management. Still, theres no place like home

Etinosajay:
Now that you know rent is cheaper here in Nigeria, when are you coming back from that abroad?

There are many cheap houses for you here.

as if na house u kon rent for this life

Did u just mention Fela? one of His musical notes uploaded on nairaland and its was confirmed he used original music notes to write his lyrics. Is Barry white also a bar singer cause he sings with a bass? Go back and listen to some of Felas non commercial song and i bet you will agree he is the king of Afro beat. Tuface, black face,no more loss, mode 9, Etcetera, phyno are gifted artistes and lets not forget Onyeka owenu,King Sunny Ade and the list goes on n on

SilvanusII:
What happened? Why is Wizkid not on this list? The Pathetic duo, P-Square nko? Infact almost all of them sef, except Darey, Cobhams, Timi, Tiwa and a teensy few. Fela was a TERRIBLE singer too. God! His beats, notes and dance NEVER matched. You can also tell from their stage performances. When they are not lip-syncing, they vacillate between notes just to suit them and when it doesn't, they scream and jump. No note sustenance at all.

Nice.... I'm taking my daughter out today for sure after reading this.

abdul4new:
good old days before corruption crept in. e go better.
mean while I dedicated this FP to my daughter because this is daughters week. On the first day of their marriage, wife and husband agreed not to open the door for ANY visitor! That same day, the husband’s parents came to see them, and knocked on the door. Husband and the wife looked at each other... the husband wanted to open the door, but since they had an agreement, he did not, so his parents left. After a while, the same day, the wife’s parents came visiting. Wife and husband looked at each other, and even though they had an agreement, the wife with tears on her eyes whispered:- "I can’t do this to my parents", and she opened the door! Husband did not say anything. Years passed and they had 2 boys. Afterwards, they had a third child which was a girl. The father planned a very big and lavish party for the new born baby girl, and he invited everyone over. Later that night, his wife asked him what was the reason for such a big celebration for this baby, while we did not do so for the brothers! The Husband simply replied:- "because she is the one who will open the door for me!" Daughters are so special... your little girl will hold your hand for only a little while... but will hold your heart for a life time. It's 'DAUGHTER'S WEEK', and if you are a daughter OR have a daughter who makes life worth living, by just being around - and you love her as much as your own breath... if you are proud of your daughter, or being a daughter, send this to other people who have daughters or who are daughters.. as I just did...... Daughters are angels!Happy daughter's week.

Daughter is not equal to tension
But
In today's world a
Daughter is equal to
Ten sons

A FATHER Asked His DAUGHTER:
Who do you Love More, Me Or your Husband..??

The Reply Given By the DAUGHTER is:
I Don't Know Really,
But When I See you
I Forget Him,
But When I See Him,
I Remember you
That's Why DAUGHTERS are SPECIAL


It's DAUGHTER'S WEEK..
If you have a daughter who makes your life worth living by just being around and you love her as much as your own Breath....

If you are proud of your Daughter, send this to people who have daughters..!!

Daughters are so special! .
Daughters are angels.!

Naija pablo escobar ..
Difference is the colour and cash at hand... These guys always end up looking hagard even after stealing millions. Just imagine the pain this idiots keep adding to the citizens of Nigeria in this harsh economic melt down.

if ur wife catch u with this comment ehn ? ..... But for real who wouldn't miss the good old days of being single, wild and free. I have ignorantly lost good male and female friends all because marriage and at same time, woman can be frustrating sometimes in marriage especially all this new generation women but same goes for us men too so lets try all we can to be happy because your children produce what ever you teach them. Please try to work things out, Forgive and make peace with her.

ican2020:
Just move on
When one door closes, many more open, so be happy
I am in my marriage today because my children are small and they school from home and ones they enter the university few years from now, I will simply move on without looking back.

You made some good points which I must say are valid. I am not a nutritionist but I would suggest we import what the Brazilians used in multiplying the nutrients in their grass rather than importing the grass. When Malaysia took our palm oil ideas they went for our Palm fruits not our Palm trees so how about importing chemicals or fertilizers that will multiply and enrich the grasses wasting in the south then move most to the north thereby creating jobs and helping our economy to grow instead of importing grass which I know will be left to dry if care is not taking due to corruption in high places. I would like you to correct me if I am wrong, thanks.

obailala:
One of the greatest impediments to the progress of the black man and the black race is our inability to read, our inability to discern and our inordinate urge to 'respond' even before we listen.

The article simply exposes the ignorance of all those castigating the plan to import high nutrient grass seedlings for cultivation in Nigeria. This firstly, is standard practice in agriculture all over the world, but common sense is obviously not too common especially when political sentiments are involved. I can swear on my life that 95% of the respondents above did not read beyond the 3rd line, but mostly read the title and proceeded to comment. Maybe if they read the article, they would have firstly realised it was written by an independent veterinarian and not the minister (as the title implies) and they would have also seen some sensible points.

If it takes decades of research to genetically create a new specie of high nutrient grass which has the capacity to boost beef and milk production beyond our imagination, then my common sense tells me it is definitely silly trying to re-invent the wheel; the sensible thing to do is to take the short-cut by simply obtaining those already optimised grass seedlings and growing them here in Nigeria. Just the same way we imported improved flood resistant rice seedlings some years back which has in no little way contributed to the rice revolution in different parts of Nigeria today. For clarity for those who are oblivious of this, "grass is not grass" and there is a reason why people spend several years studying agriculture in the university and research institutes even when our great grand fathers knew exactly how to sow and reap basic food crops.

A point of note in the article is milk production, Nigeria imports over 90% of the milk it consumes spending over $200m annually on this. A typical Nigerian milk cow produces 200kg of milk annually whereas a typical European milk cow produces up to 6500kg of milk annually, i.e. over 3000% more milk production. The main difference is the nutritional content of the feedstock these cows consume. Ironically, the same people who protest the plan to import improved grass seedlings (for planting) to improve our beef and milk production do not protest the billions we spend importing milk yearly; these same people (probably because of warped political logic) did not also see anything wrong when improved rice seedlings were imported few years back to help boost Nigeria's rice production capacity.

What I find most disheartening about these comments I have quoted is that most of the respondents here are youths, educated youths; and then we begin to wonder why the old have refused to relinquish power. They may claim not to be agriculturists, but that is definitely no excuse for this ignorance because anyone with even partial education should be able to discern these things. If only we can sometimes purge our minds of flimsy political sentiments, then some of these things are just common sense.

falseman:
This is no different from UFC and boxing.... There's a price won the question is just what's the price

We keep losing our traditions and history trying to be civilized. Soon our languages will be extinct, when will Obama wear agbada in the U.S ? When will queen of England tie wrapper ? They should their tradition to us in the name of carnivals, Halloween n other stuffs like that. I am not Yoruba but this is a real man showing his endurance in pain and if there's a price then it's not a waste of time.

LORD, may your grace always triumph over judgement in our life every day. AMENNNN....

After we face racism and unnecessary indirect insults from airport officials abroad this set of vampires will still try to make ur trip more miserable. Almost lost a tv set at MMA last time i visited naija only for the custom idiot to locate it and tell me to pay him for doing his job after i spent over 3 hours looking for it with out the guy helping me thinking i would leave. I just ignored him took my Tv while my red eyes n body language did all the talking.

Why did u sugar coat ur reply? How come u missed d part where i asked to be corrected? I asked if he has visited the east and i requested to be corrected cuz i may be wrong. try to be less critical when trying to pass a message and if i was an ethnic bigot i wouldnt have said the president needed more than 1 year before we judge him. Lets encourage constructive criticism so that at the end, we will both benefit. Have a good day.

banki:
So kogi governor is now hausa governor?
The other time he traveled with ben ayade the same critics came out and said it's because ben ayade wants to join apc, the other time he went to Cameroun did he not go with Emmanuel udom of akwaibom state?

Why do we bring in unecessary ethnic bias into everything we do?
