Which panel? I thought they had stopped sitting. Lol.

illicit:
My problem with him is that he refuses change....



His forefathers have reasons for dressing like that then, such reasons no longer apply



Culture has never been static

that is why the White man will continue to impose their Ideology on you.

They give you Bible and took your sculptures to display in their museums, make money out it but you are here defending the total eradication of your root and tradition.

Grgton:
southern Nigeria would be better

it is just noise.. Nothing is happening. They just want to force the presidency to give them South West a chance.

Nuzo1:
Ol boy, this is by no means near a good news.

Serious countries left extractive industry centuries ago. Migrated to industrial production, then hitech production. But here we are still talking about selling raw cocoa for almost free.

You export a raw bag of cocoa at N20,000. White man refines it at the cost of N10,000. Sells the byproducts (cocoa drink, chocolate etc) at N200,000.

White man makes N170,000 profit from your N20,000 years of sweat.

Extractive production impoverishs a nation.

As a matter of urgency, we must learn to add value to our raw materials, be it gold, diamond, crude oil or cash crops like cocoa and cotton.

See, Nigerians are short sighted. They like quick money and the government also is not helping.

DamnnNiggarr:











I knew it, that thread really pained you guys,
The same way NBS has been doing with other region...
You guys should know that he who leaves in a glass house shouldn't throw stone.
It's on record that the Yourbas can't take 0.3% of the rubbish they dish out on a daily basis to other regions.
You guys should work on yourselves.

I am not Yoruba

I thought South West is the only place for hard drugs?

BlueSparks:



That's what they fail to pay attention to. Greed and the lust of wanting to overtake everyone is blinding eyes to reality

My family stay close to the area. I've told them all to run. And vacate the territory that the money people would generate would be used in treating cancer and all. I was around Ajah before.


From the hold up to the unhealthy air, I calculated the completion time of the refinery and made sure I ran as far as possible to a complete far place from that entire axis.


Before the refinery, Lagos has a highly toxic air. Now to add to it, what would be the resultant cumulative environmental impact on living, air, the Atlantic ocean, traffic etc.


Nigerians and greed are 5 and 6. Thats why Nigerians only look at Pros without looking at Cons. I ain't buying a single foot of land in that terrain. Lai lai

They should ask people in Warri and Portharcourt. They will learn. Add the sea port coming on that same axis and you have a complete chaotic atmosphere.

The air in that Ajah is unhealthy. In fact, air there hardly circulate...

Well the refinery was formally for Ondo but the then governor of Ondo state rejected it. So Tinubu asked them to come

joey150:
Crypto was never banned.

Most Nigerians cannot read, assimilate what they've read and understand it. People just follow the popular narrative if it suits their agenda, it usually does.

Nothing has changed. All CBN said was don't transact crypto through the formal banking sector.

hear yourself... lol

FatherCHRISTMAS:


Waiy till an official announcement is made.
Don't fall for /scheming

Modified....

It's been confirmed

what is confirmed? read it again. The ban is still very much active.

fergusen:


Goodluck

I burst laugh from toilet lol

Juliusmalema:


Akwaibom is simply a refuse dump..

And I enjoin this new plant to recycle everything in Akwaibom to nothingness

why must you lie? AKWA Ibom in the cleanest state you will ever find in Nigeria because the people. Of Akwa Ibom take personal hygiene very serious, even the poorest among them understand this. It's like a DNA in them.

I have been to That state on several occasion and I have lived among them too.

garfield1:


Guy,the bill does not make sense.has buhari contravened federal character in appointing the service chiefs

even for what is obvious to everyone this one is asking silly questions. Wetin concern me. Shebi na all of us dey suffer the repercussions lol

festacman:
Globally, every Head of State and Commander-in-Chief reserves the right to appoint service chiefs that are loyal to him for the preservation of the government of the day and defence of national sovereignty.

Pres. Buhari may have disregarded federal character principle in his own appointment but having an independent body appoint service chiefs is fraught with danger of political instability.

Yes, Buhari has displayed irresponsible nepotism but by this bill, Senator Abaribe displayed dangerously pregnant mischief that looks like a well-orchestrated agenda.

you APC apologist will always find a way to justify rubbish.

It will come back to haunt you sha. Worry not

Bornsinner7:
Damn..

If you win headies nobody go congratulate you..

A bunch of white people come together to organise a show where they give people a wooden piece... winning the piece doesn't make one the best.. you're only the best in the eyes of the organisers..

Bleep the Grammy's.. it is over hyped.. Eminem, jay z, Lil Wayne, Kanye West have all thrash talked about the show even though they were once winners

modified:
All these mf quoting me.. I never mentioned davido in my post neither did I say burna is a loser for winning it.. I don't do stanship.. I vibe to music I like.. carrying stanship for head are for people with low iQ.. all I'm pointing out is the way we are all celebrating the Grammy that is not even appreciated by their own people.. badboy timz, omay lay won headies but I didn't see all this accolades.. not even BET is celebrated like this

headies lost credibility cos of politics involved

etrouble:


We are watching. When it is time, we will go to the so-called prison and bring our brothers out. Then, we will send the Judge and his/her family out of Yoruba land. Just watch what we will do.

are you sure? I don't see that happening ooo else na python dance go end am.

just2endowed:
should the state have business in running e-hailing taxi business?

Is this not a misplaced priority?

na dem dem get am na... let's see how far they can go...

Jarus:


There were a lot of "urgent attention, find him for us" requests including from governments but we didn't grant the requests as they were distracting and he was preparing for GRE then. We needed him to concentrate. We were capable of getting him the scholarship (with his academic qualifications) so we ignored other requests which would have distracted him.

So from discovering him in the village to paying for his test fees to getting this US PhD scholarship for him, everything handled by Michael Taiwo and team.

Ah great... This explains it all. Thank you.

Jarus:


Thanks.

We really did not help when "when we heard of the news", we put it out to the press AFTER helping him. We only wanted to call the attention of the media to the sorry wasting talents in Nigeria, that was why we decided to reach out to the press to publicise his story. His story was exceptionally touching. At some point, we his interviewers were practically crying and the American on the panel was wondering why - she couldn't relate to the level of poverty oozing from this young man we were interviewing.

Alongside my childhood friend, Michael Taiwo, now a US-based engineer and sponsor of the Michael Taiwo Graduate School Application Scholarship, we organised a scholarship scheme in Oct last year (https://www.jarushub.com/2020-michael-taiwo-annual-gmat-gre-toefl-scholarships-application/) and he applied.

After series of screening, including tests, he was one of the finalists for the final interview stage. I was on the 3-man panel that interviewed him. It was a touching moment as we struggled to fight back tears during his interview as we got to know about his poor background. I narrated the experience in this tweet ( https://twitter.com/Jarushub/status/1324108985671274498) and Michael, my partner on the panel and the sponsor, also narrated his own here ( https://www.jarushub.com/rage-sadness-gratitude-and-hope-an-interview-to-remember/)

Of course, he was one of the 23 applicants that won the scholarship (https://www.mtscholarships.org/meet-the-winners/2020-winners/) from the over 1500 that applied (out of which over 600 made first class). The scholarship covered payment for his GRE test, English test, application fee to US schools, and as added later, payment for international passport for him.

His performance in all those tests got him this US admission with the guidance of Michael and another friend of Michael, Busayo.

That's the story.

We invited the press to cover it (not the other way round) because it was a very sorry situation - not that we heard about the case in the press and took over it.

Okay thank you. I thought I saw a tweet where someone said that they should find him for urgent attention which i translated as the genesis of his glorious miracle through you guys. I wasn't really talking about press here...or may be I am mixing things up because there was another guy with similar case.

But all the same, may God continue to bless you for all the career help you have been giving Nigerians.

We need more people like you guys cos most times, Nigerians end up not having career mentor and this tend slow their growth.

StaffofOrayan:


Because he knows your leaders are some of the most useless in Nigeria, so everyone takes a bite

exactly... but we will overcome.

Kebbiprince:
From Grass to Grace

From an Ebonyi farm to the USA. Sometimes it takes just luck to end generational poverty

Nworie has been liberated, be sure he has no business with poverty anymore

a bunch of Yoruba guys actually helped him when they heard the news. I am putting this out there for those who like to promote ethnic bigotry. and one of the people that helped him is Jarus of nairaland who owns JarusHub along with some other names I cant remember.

StaffofOrayan:


Ohhhhhh the begging is coming,
That is another prediction for you, that's how they roll, during election and when their business interests are at stake, they go deeply tribal,
The funny thing is you didn't in your wildest dream expect this to happen, even when it was glaring, maybe you did and this is all part of the game

you seems like a Yoruba man with good conscience.

Those guys are only speaking the minds of Tinubu and that is why they go tribal against Tinubu when you speak.

Since 99, I don't think any Yoruba man has been actively tribalistic against Igbos like Tinubu and he is always quick to use Igbos for sparring at the slightest opportunity which what his street urchins are displaying...

But what will be, will be.

Yoruba1stson:
Our governors are sending these amotekun men to their early graves, you want those guys to face fulani terrorists that are armed with ak47 with dane guns. Yoruba governors are the most stupid and useless in this country.
God bless yoruba nation

I am igbo but your state government are trying in terms of being proactive than what we have in the East but that does not mean they shouldn't do better.

It is just the Nigerian system at play

Fahdiga:
Who doesn't know that. northerners are hell bent on using Niger delta oil money to empower themselves in the name of paying ransom to terrorists

exactly... they always make references to Niger Delta amnesty deal.

seunmsg:
N4.75bn for what exactly? This is how government goes about enabling nonsense. Kidnapping student for ransom started like a joke and now it’s a very big monster and an unending sinkhole for government funds.

So many militia groups who ordinarily should face the full wrath of the law are now either enjoying amnesty or demanding amnesty.

Some idiots have started with food blockade and we are now appealing to them with billions of Naira. What message are we sending to people in other regions? Is this how we will be throwing billions away anytime folks in other regions start their own blockade? It is well with Nigeria.

shebi na the man una bring into power be that? so why are you crying now? You all (tinubu's stooges) were supporting him up to 2020... so what changed?

adioolayi:
Back in the days...Rice was actually reserved for festive season, a very special food.

Pounded Yam and Amala were regulars.... Porridge Corn and Beans most present compared with rice....Above all, meat was scarce....Our Eja Kika, Oku Eko, Pontan are the major protein sources...

How come Cow meat is now very important to us

We need to go back to the bases!

We die here...Their Father. ..I repeat am..Their Father!!!

where is even the South West tomatoes called Ajase? I have been asking this question for so long. The last time I heard of it was in the 90s as a kid... what happened?

Iegendhero:


None of you are our friends.

We will deal with both Fulanis and Igbos based on different tactics.

We never asked for too much. Just do your IPOB thing in your region and stop trespassing into our own turf.

We are not fighting you, we are just saying everyone should respect their boundaries.

If you want to broadcast IPOB messages, good luck to you but don’t target it to the SW.

Either you target it to your SE folks or use the usual internet means (Facebook, YouTube, and etc) or tell the Shukudis that want to listen to radio to leave the SW to their respective states and listen there.

Simple as ABC.

Mr man, as long as they are Nigerians, they are free to broadcast anywhere. They were not the ones that told Awolowo to sabotage the biafra war by advising food blockade, which is where the Northerners learned to give same threat some days ago...

You must be acutely and irredeemably idiotic to write that nonsense... Mind you, Igbos were waiting for you bastards on the 13th of February to cme destroy their businesses like you boasted when the proposed #EndSARS protest was announced but they didn't see any of you... were you guys afraid?

Idiot that does not know the size of his problem... Go and chase them our of South West na

Iegendhero:
Nice one.

Let them take their station to their region and broadcast. Abi wetin concern Biafra with Lagos tori olorun.

I was looking for you in ALL the South West massacre by Fulani Herdsmen in your region, but just like your boss Tinubu, you were silent but now that it is IPOB, you have suddenly found your voice...

AkProsper:
Guys what's the proper/recommended spacing for sending the follow-up.

Below is a reply after sending the 4th email within 1 week.

Al the, my observation is that I got over 12 replies showing not interested.

damn, you just blew you chances man... Girls don't like desperate guys

They were considering your offer but you pressured them so much. They were also kind enough to give you hint on why they would decline and show you what you need to do going forward. I think that is more than a domain sale's worth!

Iamgrey5:
They need to understand economics next time before going into business

You can only create new market for your products if you sell innovative ideas

You can't sell your products well in other countries that already has a similar product.

The emboldened is what I am using for my hustle...

aryzgreat:


Conquered in your dream.

ESN have been driving them out of SE forest to the extent that they brought jet fighter

While SW is already having IDP camps due to mass exodus of yoruba to Benin republic due to attacks of Fulani herdsmen.

They know what igbos can do. Either they leave peacefully or stay and get killed.

They are even challenging you in your land to come and face them in the forest. All your Oba and leaders do is send save our soul message to Sunday igboho

You are a fool you know? Most of you are so stupid not to know when to stop this constant fights which is what is always giving the North power... FOOL, KNOW WHEN TO STOP...a defeated South West is a win for the North and a defeated South EAST is a win for the North,..

FOOL, know when to stop!

Kebbiprince:

There is nothing u have to block, the fulani control lagos ports and customs

OGA, all these will be changed soon. Whether they control or not, they are not the king of the yorubas...

Let me tell you. I am Igbo but the North will be playing with fire if they don't handle this South West issue well... They are the only last Southern region that is still holding on to Nigeria...

You can dream all you want but note that the outcome with South West will determine if Nigeria will still remain as one.
