North North North. Hian!

The current configuration of Nigeria as constituted appear to favor only one region the NORTH. Out of the 50 states that make up the USA I have been to 46 states. I have yet to encounter someone from the Northern extraction working to send him or herself to an institution of higher learning in the USA. I have met SS, SE. SW, occasionally Middle Belt but never someone from the North. I attended Univ of Illinois, Chicago Circle, and Univ of Michigan Ann Arbor I met other Nigerians on both campuses but never someone from the North. Every time I come across another Ministerial appointment and the person happens to be someone from the North, they all seem to have attended some Bayero University. I wonder why?

Eriokanmi:
Amazingly, awon iyalojas and iyalajes who trusted tinubu and gave him their votes are those wailing the most, right now. That's their dividends of tribalism. They should enjoy it while Tinubu's govt lasts

Nobody gave Tinubu any votes. When it comes to elections in that country it has always been done the old fashion way. Steal the damn thing.

Dozy... The dude hails from Onicha Ugbo in Delta State (The same Aniocha North LGA where Tony Elumelu hails from in Delta North) and speaks very fluent Yoruba as well. Tbh, a significant number of companies even in the U.S. are being operated unethically by their directors. When external forensic auditors are invited, that is when you'll get to see a lot of discrepancies.


Whoa! 250 million USD is a lot to pay in fines. If he can't pay, he should just file for bankruptcy and that would negatively affect his credit history. It always pays to be ethical in ones dealings when engaging in local and international business... Be open to investors about your company record books and always read the fine prints when signing contracts.

As long as his company was registered as an LLC he is still good. Do the same thing Trump did when he filed for 6 bankrupcies. File a corporate liquidation against the corporate assets that is it. Your personal asset will still be protected.

Johannesburg in Uganda. !!!!! Partner you must be on Fentanyl. Whatever you are smoking ain't good for yaa.

vannessa7:
You are ashamed of your heritage thus concocting all these lies, you are Yoruba indeed. The Igbo massacre in the eighties is caused by what reason?

A man gives you his point of view in a public forum; all you can muster is that he must be ashamed of his heritage. Well, I guess being a Yoruba man from Ijebu Ode I must be ashamed of mine too.

Tell yaa , this is why I am so glad I live in the USA, where the First Amendment protects me. Freedom of speech is paramount to me.

kunle4toyeyaho:
Nonsense talk. So, he should continue flying a defective jet? That was how the VP of Malawi was managing a faulty jet which led to his untimely death. I will consider it an offence,if he had bought more than one jet. But buying a functional presidential jet in my own opinion is not bad considering the fact that the one being used at the moment is not totally okay.

Psst !!!! I think China President Xi flies Commercial. yeap China Southern 747. Check it out.

An Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer WOW !!! that is the op of the top-of-the-line destroyer in the US Navy inventory. My Salute Captain.

Iseoluwani:
exactly, because he will want to pay those that paved the way for him, and him to maintain his biz

Psst!!! Go back and read my previous post regarding Dangote Refinery. The short comings are as follows

1. The refinery was built in the wrong place. (It is not by coincidence that most refineries in the USA are built in Texas and California. It was because those are the states that produce most Crude oil) Dangote refinery should have been built in the East.
2. Reliable supply of electricity. (Any idea how much KWH it takes to run a refinery)
3. No in fracture in place to carry the finished product from the refinery to the end user

englishmart:
Dangote is fronting for Elon Musk

WHAT !!!! Thought CRACK was out of fashion. Lay off the pipe partner. DAMN

INTEGRITYA1:
I think this is better, government should sell NNPC and let private investors manage it.

All Government own refineries should all be sell out as well, most likely we are going towards that direction already with this regime.

If you have a contrary opinion, please tell me how much NNPC has remitted so far to the Government purse in terms of profit since inception.

You can also compare our Communication sector in terms of service when it was solely managed by NITEL (Government Body and when Private Organizations like MTN, Airtel and others came onboard)

We can't continue doing the same things over and over again and be expecting different results. No.

Even Obasanjo has been advocating for the privatization of all Government own refineries after his first tenure when he realized what's going over there.

Another Federal Government should work on it to give room for more potential investors to give room for competition and not to allow monopoly.

God Bless Nigeria.

Partner sold to who? Ditto I am a firm believer in free enterprises and market forces but when it comes to Nigeria and her oil sectors may I present to you modern-day Russia where few oligarchs control all the state wealth, and corruption is on steroid

INVINCIBLECSP2:
Agbado urchinsons. Keep defending criminals
I don't blame you people. I blame my Niger Deltan politicians ass licking Tinubu. Selling oil feeds to themselves and cronies while SS get nothing.
I pray make this oil dry let everyone go his separate ways. Notheners are not the problem of this country. Greedy and tribalistic Yorubas are!!!
Without the backing of the aforementioned, northerners won't have the courage to do some certain things they do and get away with it all for selfish political gains
This is so sad 🙁🙁🙁

Go ahead and read some of my previous posts. The Yoruba Muslims have more in common with their Northern Brethren than with their Yoruba Christians. I didn't come up with this analysis, window Copilot AI did before some crazies started thinking that I must be an Igbo person sorry to disappoint you cos I am not. I am a Yoruba man from Ijebu Ode. I am just laying out the facts I don't freaking have a dog in the fight when it comes to Nigeria's issues.

CyrusVI:
They should have done this since 1800 but its fine to do that now

Under a private operator, we can be sure of increased production over the next 12months as private firms tend to keep pushing their operational capacity to the extreme in a bid to secure bigger profits

Demands will be met and we may not experience fuel scarcity again.

Kyari thought this through and it sounded sane to him. It does to me too


Kudos

Be careful about what you wish for. The same promises were made regarding electricity being transferred to some Private entities. After all these years have you noticed any improvement apart from higher bills? By the way who are these private people that can come up with the money to buy these refineries?

loveth360:
But in Nigeria penalty for hate speech against Igbos in political appointments.

Keep telling ya'all Nigeria's problem is the Yourbas. I didn't come up with this, windows AI Pilot did,

I'm.sure she can be stripped or her citizenship


Don't.let it get to your head.

On what bases?

Shokoloko:
She is right. Canada's penalty for hate speech if convicted is 2 years in jail, not deportation.

Well maybe but here in good olde USA, she will be covered by the Constitution's 1st Amendment regarding free speech. I never understand all the freaking Grand Standing by Nigeria Politicians. Demanding deportation based on someone exercising their right to free speech, maybe it is because she is Igbo?

Well, since you injected Tribalism into the thread. Maybe it is God's crude way of telling your government to Let a Biafra person serve their own people. You put a Yoruba Muslim in charge of the South East command have you ever ever heard of community policing?

EndBuhariNow:
Americans are not Nigerians that allow emotions play them during election.... Bookmark my own post.... Before the announcement that Trump has win .. u will no longer reply my most u will disappear

This ain't an emotion thing, I am freaking on the ground and I am going to vote Democrats down my whole ballot all the way to the dog catcher level. We need to get rid of all Republicans. I am still waiting for someone to tell me what Republican has ever done to help the common people for the past 30 years.

Affordable Health Care Democrats
Paid Maternity leave Democrats
Student Loan Relief Democrats
$35 Cap on Insulin Democrats (Not one Republican voted for this bill)
Insurance Coverage for Preexisting Illness Democrats (If you were born with Type 1 Diabetes Republicans wants to die)
Medicare , and Social Security all Democrats

Tell yaa all Republicans have to offer is more tax cuts, and Hate.

-A BRT bus driver hijacked, raped and killed a lady in the night along Lagos Island - Agege route

-The other day it was a BRT bus that was crushed by a train due to the overt recklessness of the driver @ PWD crossing @ Ikeja.

-Recently it is the accident involving the above overturned bus leading to minor injuries.

-Today, it is another set of BRT buses whose drivers stupidly choose to engage in dare-devil gambling with the lives of their passengers by engaging in another bout of reckless driving.

What is really wrong with BRT in Lagos today? These recurrent ugly incidences are worrisome.

Do you think it might be time for drug testing before employment?

datola:
Hmmm... prices of everything has changed even in Western world.

Exactly !!!! September is now here most homeowners in the USA will be receiving their yearly property taxes. In 1996 bought my house for $245000 same house all I ever did to the house was finish my basement which added 2030 sq footage of living space to the house the whole thing cost me $34000 to do. Guess what just received my appraisal from the County now freaking valuing my house for $785000. The entire world is going to hell over the basket. Everything is just expensive.

Yeap Partner. Another all Muslims appointment what else is new?

For those saying Harris will win Trump... Bear in mind Trump beat Hillary Clinton while not holding any political office before .. Obama and all the ex president backed her but yet America chooses Trump... Trump is going to beat Harris mark my words

You can go ahead and bookmark my reply right now. Trump ain't gonna this upcoming election. 2016 he won because people like me were willing to see if the Presidency would change him to act normal boy were we wrong. He was beaten in 2020 and he is going to lose again in 2024. All the Democrat needs to do is win Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. That is 270 electoral votes right there. Winning Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina will just be icing on the cake. Trump is done partner you can go ahead a stick a fork in him.

Cul4real:
If Trump is not win, there is possibility of WW3. Biden weakness contributed to various war up and down in different countries today, and if Biden could failed, I don't think Harris will pass. Coming back of Trump is very important at the moment.

Whatever you are smoking it ain't good for your brain that is if you even have one. Well, Partner you ain't got any say on this matter since you can't vote but I betcha this Negro will be voting against your dumb a** Messiah.

Exactly !!! no presumption of innocence whatsoever accorded. I am glad I don't live in that country. I guess Nigeria is far from being a civilized Country.

Alfredibaba:
No one should pity them...

I do though with prejudice attached. Nobody was killed or injured in the commission of this crime. Living in that country is a mitigating factor. Suppose you want to kill them for a Third-degree felony offense. What should happen to people who own gas stations selling adulterated gasoline that causes untold millions in damages?

kestolove95:
Kill them, just kill them

Wow !!! no presumption of innocence partner? Just killed them right? Nobody died as a result of their crime so why the rush to judgment? A third-degree felony crime is a 6 mths jail time with 2 years probation

EreluRoz:
She's right especially when you have crossed 30. Also no man is happy as a single man, he will also feel less of a man seeing his mates with wives and kids. So it's both ways and let's not pretend about it.

I guess that just proves the point that women are like a freight train always looking for something to hitch to.

Konquest:
Let me step right in to correct your assumptions here.

If you are indeed from Ijebu Ode and a Yoruba, you would NOT commit the grave blunder of casting aspersions on Yorubas who are Muslims. INFACT the majority (over 50 percent) of Ijebu people who are indigenes of both Lagos State and Ogun State are Muslims (because Ijebuland extends from Lagos State right across the border into Ogun State with Ikorodu, Epe and Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Areas, and Ajah being Ijebuland located right in Lagos State).

I dare say with your assumptions about Yorubas who are practicing Muslims, that YOU are NOT a Yoruba person for ignorantly casting aspersions on Yoruba folks who are Muslims. I'm NOT a Muslim, but as an internationally well-traveled man with a vast knowledge of world history and world religions for decades now, I know FULL well that Islam has been in Yorubaland (starting with the Oyo Empire) for over 500 years now, and that is even why in Bahia, Brazil, Yoruba folks who were Muslims led the deadly revolts against the Portuguese enslavements in the early 1800s called the "Male" revolts. "Imale" from with "Male" was derived is the old Yoruba name for Muslims because the religion ORIGINALLY came to the Oyo Empire from the Mali Empire. Other Muslims from other West African ethnicities also joined the Yorubas then to revolt because they were NOT allowed to do their prayers and also to break free from the shackles of enslavement. I say all these to let you know that Islam alongside the Yoruba religion (Ifa) have been in existence for centuries back long before Xtianity even came into Yorubaland in the 1800s.

Tolerance and flexibility are important keys in life. So, this talk of Muslims of Yoruba descent holding back the so-called Southern unity of Nigeria is LAME! It's the complete restructuring and decentralization of Nigeria from the bogus unitary system being practiced over there that would liberate Nigeria and make the country globally competitive in the New Economy age we are currently in... NOT your false assumptions against Muslims of Yoruba descent, many of who I'm aware have brilliant minds and are extremely impatient and tired of the highly retrogressive state of an overcentralized system of governance in Nigeria.

Just to help you out. Two of my dearest friends died on 9/11. Both were on the plane flying from Boston that early morning to the West Coast. The experience has shaped my opinion of the religion called Islam. I left Nigeria when I was 18 years 10 months old, over 40 years ago. So all this talk about population composition is not ringing any bell with me. Sorry.
