I'm sure he didn't complain to you about being neglected.



And I'm sure he didn't tell you he's lacking anything.

Why don't you speak for yourself?
I've read interviews where he's complained of being 'neglected'.

He was paid for designing the flag.
He had a long career and should have saved for old age.

Truth be told, the nation really doesn't owe him anything special, and some of us are tired of this endless, childish attempts to guilt-trip Nigerians.

Why does designing a flag carry more weight than some of our parents who taught in primary and secondary schools for years, those who remain crippled from injuries fighting Nigeria's wars or those who dedicate themselves to helping the needy?

OP, please desist!

This looks like a kit he purchased and assembled. You can probably buy kits like this off aliexpress

Something like this but cheaper

You think everybody you jam online na your mate?

It does look like pdp's attempts to rig the elections are failing.

No. Because people - largely PDP sympathizers - have been sharing cooked up results on social media since morning.

It certainly won't be made up because the story clearly said, 'according to eye witnesses'

Lady, are you really this naive?!

We have a big problem in this country.

Whatever put her there, a lady has been on the ground, seriously sick for 2 hours and a crowd of Nigerians could not mobilize themselves to save her!

Even here on NL, where everyone posting has had some degree of education, you still have these m0r0ns babbling nonsense like this

jhenie:
She must have been used for money ritual. Most of our young girls are the causes of their problems, in-contentment is the cause. Prostitution, runs (all na ashawo) or what ever they call it is currently a trend for almost all ladies, if u aren't into it, u probably aren't upgraded. God help us anyway.

There's a VERY high degree of possibility that she was never dropped by a jeep or went for 'ashawo' runs. The whole 'dropped by a jeep' could very well be made up. yet people are neglecting the big issues and jumping to inane conclusions.

Is it the Government that put trash and other garbage carelessly lying around the compound?

Is it the Government that will come and clear the grass in the compound?


The building is terrible and the Govt should do something, but this is a clear example of why CHANGE must come also from you and I. The corpers whining are not even doing the things in their control.

The story of Nigeria

Wait, people were actually approaching the CBN/banks for forex to import Palm Oil?

Those people should be arrested and shot.

You dug up and ate worms?!

Who are these crazy people?!

The Note 7 hasn't been launched or released in Nigeria officially. So what 'recall' in Nigeria does the CPC expect?

All they have to do is to push the NCC or other relevant bodies to ensure the ones that get released in Nigeria are the replacement models

Yes. That was when the first one was made. And multiple refinements have been added to the series in the decades since then.

So why exactly do you assume the helis Nigeria is buying were the ones made in 1972?

...one shot from the Niger Delta Ballista will bring those Russian toys down. do not be derail. the avengers had piles of ground to air strikes like rockets and ballista in their military vault which is enough to declared a no fly zone.

go and watch the last amnesty program of weapons that was released by Niger Delta Militant. those cached are chicken egg compared to the once currently underground.

You say this like you believe the BS you wrote.
Militants are boasting they have surface to surface or surface to air missiles and you're swallowing it hook, line and sinker.

U'RE A SUCCESSFUL DISGRACED FELLOW FOR MAKING SUCH COMMENT ABOUT A MAN OF GOD. WHAT IS BAD ABOUT HE SAID ABOUT HIS WIFE HERE?

Insinuating his wife isn't 'mature' isn't a nasty thing to say?

To think you're even a woman, justifying this nonsense.

Disgraceful

Every single time this man speaks on his failed marriage, he tries to throw his wife under the bus. Disgraceful.

OP, you must be kidding.

2k will not get you a hotel room. It will get you a short-time brothel masquerading as a hotel room. Which kain job you dey do wey you go punish yourself like this?

Community people puncture pipelines to steal oil. Oil leaks and pollutes village stream

Oil company mobilizes to inspect spill site and to provide relief to village. Village youths demand for a bribe before someone helps them.

Can you imagine how crazy this sounds? Someone is coming to help you and you're demanding they pay money.

Ken4Christ:
The fulani herdsmen destroying lives are far worse than the militants. The militants even have a just cause but what is the purpose of the fulani herdsmen attacks on defenseless farmers. They should deal with the fulani terrorist first.

Both parties should be dealt with!

nwamehn:
So, u support the levelling down of a community or the massacre of a whole town like Odi just because of some group of militants that can actually be fished out by the army?

How can they be 'fished out' when people like you will start whining and wailing about 'Genocide' when the military men arrive?

cktheluckyman:
but op this news was taken from sahara reporters.I read it earlier there I wonder when you copied it to your blog

@story
its a sad one though for young men to die leaving their families but each time I remember how these same soldiers massacred innocent men and women in Onitsha last may,i lose all sympathy for them.The truth is that more than 50% of our soldies are monsters only good at harassing and killing innocent civillians only to chicken out when faced with boko haram insurgents or niger-delta militants

1) There's no guarantee that these soldiers were ever anywhere near Onitsha.
2) If Nigerian soldiers had 'chickened out' when confronted by Boko Haram, why has the sect been driven into a tiny enclave in Sambisa Forest?

You ethnic bigots will not learn to say sensible things here. Madness

free2ryhme:
They want to edit the same law that was used to vote them in power

Black people chai!

Some of you must really be mad

You attack the Govt for the 'inconclusive' elections and lapses in elections...yet turn around and criticize efforts to fix these issues.

Why do you people hate your country so much? Are you an IPOB member?

attackgat:
This does not answer my question. These figures can be cooked up by anybody.

Those figures come from the national bureau of statistics.

Previous figures from 2012 were in the same line.

attackgat:
What has Edo state got to come even remotely close to Anambra in terms of revenue generation?

Nobody has said it's about revenue generation. It's about tax compliance. They have people who are willing to pay their quota towards state development, and the Government has the political will to collect taxes.

Can you also see Enugu beating Anambra and Abia, states with the commercial powerhouses of Onitsha and Aba?

attackgat:
Oh shut up. I'm an Anambra man who did his NYSC in Edo state. In the one year I was there, I went around the whole state. What has Edo state got to generate more revenue than Anambra? Anambra has the largest market in west Africa, the huge industrial base of Nnewi and is also an Oil producing state. What is in Edo that makes them generate funds?

You argue like a child. There is verifiable information a Google search away, yet you think to argue with anecdotal evidence?

blackboy2star:
Presently, Nigeria has a strong center and weak states. The states have become administrative units of the federal government. The federal government pays the piper and is happily dictating the tune to the states. The states are so weak and so generally impoverished that they have no capacity even to negotiate meaningfully with the center. None of the states as it is now can generate enough internal revenue to prosecute any appreciable social and economic development. Instead of pillars, the states have become a burden on the federation.
In Nigeria, except for the rather vague statement in Section 2 of the 1999 Constitution, there are no definite enumerated powers of the federal government the Nigerian Constitution. In the United States, the powers of the federal government are enumerated and limited. I rest my case

Lagos generates substantial IGR.

Edo State, a civil service state, generates more IGR than most of the South Eastern states that are supposedly commercial centers.

States with committed leadership can eke out enough IGR to fund many projects. But that level of leadership is lacking.

Prior to this period with a fall in oil price drastically reducing state allowances, Nigerian states were raking in lots of money as oil sold for record prices. Where is the development to show for that period of largesse?

blackboy2star:
We must sit down and find a way round how Niger Delta people (other regions too) will have opportunity to utilise what is in their region to develop themselves and secure their future.

It's simple. All they have to do is to use what is between their ears to elect people who are not thieves.

Between NDDC, Niger Delta Ministry, 13% derivation and IGR from taxes on oil companies, the Niger Delta states should have been the best developed states in nigeria outside Lagos and Abuja.

I don't see how true federalism will stop the lionization of crooked leaders and the unrelenting diversion of development funds into the pockets of crooked leaders.

We keep talking about diversifying the economy whereas the instruments of diversification are stiffled. Mind you, Dangote is building an oil refinery which thus further increases our dependency on oil. Not saying it is a bad thing to build a refinery, just that diversification of an oil dependent economy needs providing the enabling environment for other ventures to thrive.
You cannot ask me to slice up some meat and then proceed to provide a hammer as the tool for the job.

An oil refinery does not 'increase our dependency on oil'. It will provide jobs for tens of thousands of Nigerians, reduce fuel scarcity and drastically reduce pressure for dollars by stripping away the need to import refined petroleum products.

The worry is a dependence on oil exports, not a dependence on refined petroleum products.

You should even pray fervently that the refinery kicks off on time.

The challenge is not lack of funds but limited forex. The SE govts do not mint dollars. The federal govt while placing restrictions on forex supply, freely and dubiously provides same to one individual. Approximately 10% of the nations forex earnings are given to one person alone at official rates (most likely less). Importers and manufacturers cannot sustain activity at black market rates and even if they attempt it, there is not enough forex in circulation either in the parrallel market. Govt officials corner the little available forex meant for BDC operators and round trip for personal gains. It is a catch 22 situation for manufacturers and importers.

So basically, the same conditions millions of Nigerians go through.

I'm not happy about the Dangote concessions. I'm perfectly happy to limit it at that person alone. There is no reason to extend it to Innoson and others.

Forex isn't really that scarce. It's just pricey in the parallel market. Innoson can go there, and pass the costs on to consumers like everyone else is doing. AFterall, the imported components were supposedly just about 20% of each vehicle. Given that the delta between the official and parallel rates is about 1.2x, let him adjust the prices of his vehicles by a multiplier of 1.2 to compensate.

I think the far bigger issue is that consumers are not buying Innoson vehicles in sufficient enough numbers to compensate for the current economic conditions, and that is 100% down to failings of IVM in marketing and branding.

You cannot build a business that seemed perennially focused on securing Government patronage.

mckoolcharming:
as I dey post I just received my pay for
MMM...... mmm is for real I swear

It's a Ponzi scheme. You know this is a scam, and you still jumped in it. Later you will blame Buhari or GEJ.

Innoson gets a substantial amount of tax breaks and incentives from the FG already.

Ina time of recession, it is tough to ask the FG to subsidize a private business that has hurt itself through poor business practices of relying on govt handouts.

I mean, you couldn't even find a single showroom for innoson consumer vehicles in Lagos until some months ago. This is not the hallmark of a serious company.

I find it amusing that there's so much rhetoric that the FG should bail out innoson. Is there anything stopping the south east governors from pooling together a development and investment fund to invest in innoson?
