You lie in bold letters. You are absolutely irredeemable. Akwa Ibom that has cornered almost everything going to the South South since the return of democracy.
Your people have even been destroying multi billion dollars investments yet FG keeps pushing projects to the state. Now I see why the state ended up with characters like you. Smh

What has Akwa Ibom cornered?

Please list them out!

And then tell us about the multi-billion dollars investments that Akwa Ibomites have been destroying...

uunwanaobong3:
AKWA IBOM IS THE HIGHEST CRUDE OIL PRODUCING STATE WITH 509,000 BARREL YET THERE IS NO REFINERY IN THE STATE, NO MULTINATIONAL OIL COMPANY HEADQUARTERS IN THE STATE, NO SEAPORT OR ANY OIL AND GAS LOGISTIC SERVICE IN THE STATE, NO TANGIBLE INVESTMENT FROM OIL COMPANY OR NNPC ON THE STATE. NO PROVE THAT AKWA IBOM IS THE HIGHEST OIL PRODUCER. INSTEAD THE ONLY THING THE STATE CAN BOOST OFF IS GOOD ROAD NETWORK AND GOODWILL AKPABIO STADIUM BUILD BY THE STATE GOVERNMENT..... HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT AND POVERTY RATE, STATE CIVIL SERVICE, NO SINGLE PROJECT OR ASSISTANT BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

Akwa Ibom state has been electing clowns as governors.

Since Obong Victor Attah struggled to get 13% derivation, his successors have done technically nothing about resource control.

There's need to discuss these issues!

FreeStuffsNG:
This life ehn. Pride goeth before a fall.

So all the crude oil from the South East doesn't even add up enough to the quantity of crude oil produced in Lagos yet all the VAT keeps going to South East and some ungrateful folks from the South Eaat call other Nigerians parasite. Empty barrels make the loudest noise. Smh..

Lagos State will catch up and overtake others ahead of it on this list some day.

The SouthWest is the future of Nigeria's petroleum industry. Very soon, Ogun State will join this list.

This is why we need more investments in oil and gas investments in Lagos State.
Invest in Lagos today.
May God bless Nigeria for ever!

Even if ALL Nigeria's oil is produced in Lagos.. There's no guarantee that It would make your life any better.

No be everything be competition!

Which language will they communicate 🤦. Literacy wahala 😂

What has language got to do with literacy?

You suppose don old pass all this kind news.

What's really wrong with men of this age...

Small thing suicide... Small thing suicide.

Calm down abeg!

Seek proper medical help and discard this thought of harming yourself.

concho:
Either the Governor is stingy, or the person in charge of procuring those machines is just plain wicked.

How do you gift someone a Chinese generator with an aluminum coil and expect them to run a factory?

Even if they bought a Japanese Generator with copper coil for her, you would have still complained about the colour.

Congratulate her and move on!

Lol

Cute girl

Living the best of life...

Can't hate anybody doing better than me.

Go girl!

nairalanda1:
Would you like your father to have babymama up and down?

I know I won't.

And what has his father got to do with this topic?

Haba na

The keyword in this post is "Natasha"...

Not even Tuface or Vodi..

Clickbait..!

When you hear coalition, you'd think it's for the benefit of the common man..

These are already made people trying to position themselves to further loot the left overs in the country's coffers.

And some nairalanders who can't boast of the first 10m in their account will be saying "we"...

Who be "we"?

DissTroy:
Nothing compares to a woman's fury, justified or not. She'd sink a ship just to drown you.

A real life femme fatale wrecking the lives of every man who goes close.

Story.

They'll humble her.

There's nothing special about a woman's fury. It's just another irrelevant quote.

Heroesworths:
Nigeria supplies electricity to Togo and Benin Republic based on long-standing bilateral agreements. One key reason is to prevent these countries from building dams on the River Niger, which could reduce the water flow needed for Nigeria’s hydroelectric power plants like Kainji, Shiroro, and Jebba. Without this agreement, Nigeria’s power generation capacity could be severely affected.

Yes, it’s frustrating that Nigerians experience inconsistent electricity while these neighboring countries enjoy uninterrupted supply. However, the reality is that if they restrict the River Niger’s flow, our own power situation could get even worse.

At the same time, these countries are supposed to pay for the electricity supplied, though they sometimes owe debts. The bigger issue remains Nigeria’s internal power generation and distribution challenges, which must be addressed for stable electricity at home.

Posts like these are meant to be highlighted and pinned to the frontpage.

nairalanda1:
They pay more per kwh of power than we do.

Yes they pay more. But how are they able to get stable electricity from a country whose National grid collapse every month?

OnyeObowo1:
Come o, a Togo be this?
Wey I de plan run enter that side since naija don cast.. chaii

That's a rural area in Benin.

Cotonou and Dakar are fine... But very expensive places to live.

There's steady power, Internet and their currency is 2.5 times the naira.

If you get money, go to Dakar... You'll enjoy the place.

I used to underestimate that street quote "if person explain Nigeria give you, and you understand, the person no explain well give you be that"


How on earth would I believe that Nigeria supplies Benin/Togo with electricity?

Last year I was in these two countries for about 3 months. During my time there, I can count the number of times that the power went off.. Even when our national grid collapsed for days, there was still steady power.

Like how?

What magic is Nigeria doing, that is enabling these countries to have steady power, that we can't do for ourselves?

And you need to even see the infrastructure that enables them to have light 24/7... Nothing special.

Everyone taps light directly from the pole and they have their prepaid meters outside their houses, sometimes at the main road sef...

Pulpit bandits

Very soon they'll upgrade their craft to having quarterly/annual targets, recruit more marketers (Pastors) to open new branches (churches).

The they'll introduce KPIs, appraisal bonuses and profit sharing...

yahoodetector:
Akwa-Ibom people no dey get sense normally.

Something he would have sold for like $5000

Now that Rwandan player will sell it at a higher price.

How you dey take detect yahoo with this kind sense?

helinues:
Nice.

Tiwa n tiwa

Abeg Uyo state is beautiful and calm. Kudos to the last and present governor

Kudos to Sen. Godswill Akpabio.

I used to be a huge critic of his infrastructural drive, until I visited Uyo.

If other governors had followed his road map, Akwa Ibom would have been 10/10 by now...

In Donald Trump's voice...

Imagine this state having 100% control over her resources.

The onshore/offshore oil resources would be managed by the State's ministry of Petroleum, headquartered in the state. All servicing firms will be mandated to site their offices within the state and prioritize Akwa Ibom youths during employment.

We'll use proceeds to develop our agricultural sector, build mega Rubber, Palm Oil and Cassava processing plants and become an export heaven for these products.

Our automobile manufacturing plant will employ thousands of Akwa Ibom youths... We'll build the Ibom Silicon valley to employ thousands of smart Akwa Ibom youths who are passionate about tech.

We'll make tremendous progress existing outside this expired parasitic British experiment.

Distinguished respected elder statesman with double standard.

I great you!

Lol

Sign which Nigerian flag?

The same flag that soldiers refused to respect at the Lekki toll gate?

Abeg abeg abeg abeg abeg abeg.

If there's any record I'll be willing to support, it's the one that would uproot evil politicians. All these personal trips no concern me.

Lol

The way we've been hyping this win against Rwanda, you'd think we won a World Cup final game against Argentina or France.

Prior to that game, we had played 4 matches without a single win.

The team should focus on the remaining games and forget content creation.

BabaO2:
Equating HND and BSC is rewarding mediocrity.
Entry qualifications into university is stronger than that of polythecnics. Course content is a different ball game. Technical schools graduates are equally as good as polythecnics, should they too now claim to be HND holders mates?

This arguement is stale bro. Nobody cares if they're equal or not.
Everyone is busy chasing money now.

Okay

What do we do with this information now?

Bizmind95:
if those people catch you at their Airport without any reasonable reason why you're visiting or without enough money in your account for tourism, they will just put you on the next available Boat straight back to Senegal . Cape Verde wey be like small Portugal, na where you think say e dey easy to enter ba

Lies!

One aboki that repairs my phone in Dakar just left for Cape Verde.

He said it cost him about 400k XOF.

pansophist:
Senegal is saved. It's an islamic country, so they've given their life to Allah. But in term of security, then yes, Senegal is very safe.

Going by road will take you at least three days from Nigeria. And if you don't have a passport, you'll just subject yourself to series of harassment and rounds of scamming from different border officials.

Make sure you get your passport before going, because if you plus all the bribe you'll pay on the way for not having it, it would have gotten you one already. And if you meet a wicked officer, you'll regret ever leaving naija.

Your passport is your green card across West Africa. It accords you diplomatic protection, free visa entry, and protect you from being scammed. And to register yourself in Senegal and do official stuff, you need it. Get it.

You have obviously never been to Senegal. You can travel round west Africa with your Driver's License!
