ori olokun ko, epon olosa ni!
What is the essence of the ori olokun image beautification done within a mayfair roundabout which has the roads leading to it with potholes and no drainage system from lagere?
Just like a lady rubbing powder and adding cosmetics without taking her bath.
Not as if i dont support it anyway, it is a welcoming idea cos it portrays the cultural monuments of our ancestors and heritage, but i think it should be erected in a very befitting place or they should find a place to make the road smooth and drained.

adejoro75: WTF? Now who is ''Tolexander''? Who knows you except you? You are fake (unreal) until you make yourself known.

o boy answer the question i asked u!
Whatever anonymous your monicker claims to be, that doesn't mean all your opinions will be fake. A question was asked by the OP and you gave your own view likewise other niralanders which has 98% of its members nigerians. Does your anonymous name make ur answer to be fake?
Sometimes in the news you see the reporter saying an 'anonymous witness', does that mean the news is not true since the witness is anonymous? Or some sensible quotes whose writer is not known with the quote written as an anonymous writer. Does that make the quote senseless?

adejoro75: An anonymous voice is no voice. Real Nigerians are real people, not faceless cyber pundits. Until all of us are able to write with our real names, Nairaland remains an underdog, a nondescript entity.

aren't you real even with your monicker?

adejoro75: What the hell is Nairaland? Nairaland is inconsequential in the scheme of things

nairaland is a microcosm of nigeria.
Though inconsequential in the scheme of things but can still be looked upon as the voice of nigerians.

about 0.0000000001 microsecond ago i checked my dictionaries(oxford advanced learner, longman, britannica, encarta), i didn't see where FICTION is said to be the same thing as TRUTH or FACT!

vladimiros: IF CATALONIA CAN DO IT

WHY CAN'T BIAFRA HAVE THEIR TEAM?

EVEN OGONI LAND CAN HAVE THEIR TEAMS

I WILL SUPPORT A TEAM LIKE THAT

read about the spainish history very well, catalonia has an autonomy which can make then to feature like an independent region in some aspects. They were trying to exist as a country before the then president Franco Fransisco subdued the agitation.
Nigeria has a unification of her entire regions as a federal republic with no autonomy granted to any of them. This started in 1966 immediately Gen Aguiyi Ironsi became the president.

[quote author=Mr. Globe]you can't even put down a correct sentence. Look at the nonsense you have been typing since. you have a long way to go. Atleast if nothing you have learned today to stop quoting people who are way above your mental capacity, or manufacturing stats from your anus. That of learning how to properly quote from Wikipedia is something you will pay to learn dummy. Kill yourself[/quote]^^^imagine an eediot saying someone didn't type a correct sentence!
Anyway, i learnt how to deal with the fools that feel they know all today.

[quote author=Mr. Globe]its great how you have deviated from your own thread topic of your leaders begging for food and obviously ashamed about your ogbomosho cooked statistics from 'Wikipedia' lol.

Ok, since its clear you can't read and comprehend. I simply asked you to go back to that thread you raised (like a jobless pickpocket you are) and fully understand what I meant there slow/poke. No need trying to use an irrelevant thread to cover your no brain having error. ret...ard! Go back to primary School.[/quote]imbeci.le! Who deviated from the thread? I you made you realised the magnitude of your folly. You should have given a relevant link to counter. Surely ignorance is ur birthright cos you have it in abundance.

Ymodulus: my friend will you sharrap!!!
Aturu never implied anything he simply said let us have access to those infos

oh boy sharrap am not your friend cos i dont befriend eediots.
Dont you undastand what 'just as if' means?

[quote author=Mr. Globe]I wonder where this dummy who cannot even use Wikipedia get this his beer parlor stats from? what I simply asked the fool was what resources the SW contributes to the center and he went to bring up beer parlor gusts/stats.

World Bank Chides Nigeria,
Others over Poor Statistics

The World Bank has decried the quality
and relevance of data from Nigeria and
other African countries, which it
described as largely obsolete.
The bank’s Director, Department of
Economic Policy and Poverty Reduction
Programmes, Africa, Mr. Marcelo
Giugale, stated this in a report e-mailed
to THISDAY at the weekend.
He expressed concern that a lot of
money had been invested in improving
statistics in a lot of countries in the
continent, explaining that most of that
money came as donations from well-
meaning rich countries.
He said a report tagged: ‘Partnership in
Statistics for Development in the 21st
Century,’ had revealed that between
2009 and 2011, Africa received $700
million to build up its capacity to collect
data. He stressed that communication
technology is what would revolutionise
African statistics.
Giugale added: “First, we don't really
know how big (or small) many African
economies are. In about half of them,
the system of “national accounts” dates
back to the 1960s (1968, to be precise);
in the other half, it is from 1993. This
means that measuring things like how
much is produced, consumed or
invested is done with methods from the
times when computers were rare, the
Internet did not exist and nobody spoke
about "globalisation. That is, the
methodology ignores the fact that some
industries have disappeared and new
ones were born.
“How badly does this skew the data?
Well, to give you an idea, when Ghana
used a newer methodology to update
its accounts in 2010, it found out that
its economy was about 60 per cent
bigger than it had previously thought -
and the country instantly became
"middle-income" in the global ranking.
“Second, the latest poverty counts for
Africa are, on average, five years old. So
we only have guesstimates of how the
global financial, food and fuel crises have
impacted the distribution of income,
wealth and opportunities in the region.
This is because, to count the poor, you
need “household surveys” - those face-
to-face, home visits where people are
asked how much they earn, own, know
and so on. In fifteen African countries,
this has been done only once since
2000.”
The World Bank official pointed out that
the advent of technology now allows for
the surveys to be done not only more
frequently, but continuously.
“Industrial surveys are even more
infrequent than household surveys -
only a handful of African countries have
done at least one in the last ten years.
This is a pity! Knowing what your
producers are doing -- and what keeps
them from producing more - is critical if
you want to design policies that increase
employment, productivity and economic
growth.
“To be sure, academics, non-
governmental organisations,
development banks and business
organisations carry out sporadic surveys
of enterprises for one purpose or
another - from understanding how
informal jobs are created to selling
logistical services. But regular,
comprehensive, nation-wide data is, at
best, rare,” he stated.[/quote]another irrelevant gibberish from a man with a zillion of ignorance

[quote author=Mr. Globe]you are a certified dunce. Keep brandishing wikepedia links as your authoritative news source dummy. You dont want to recognize you are already dancing naaked online olodo. You are an illiterate I repeat. keep disgracing yourself with manufactured figures cooked in ogbomosho and posted online as your credible news source fool. About that you posted above, kindly refer back to the thread and see my replies jobless urchin.[/quote]https://www.nairaland.com/987622/most-commercialized-industrialized-non-capital-cities/ you are too daft to argue with. You may never remember you said it anyway cos you said it out of your abundance of ignorance.
With people like you, i wonder what the knowledge of people looking unto nairaland for information will be. He who knows not and knows not that he knows not pretending to know is the utmost fool.
Moreover, it is too foolish of you to think everybody in the southwest on nairaland is from ogbomoso.

doesn't realy put on bikini or trunks when going to the beach but when going to the bathroom.

[quote author=Mr. Globe]ha.. what an iddiot.. we are fast heading into another century and you are still branding wikepedia as your authoritative news source. You just screamed to the whole world you are an illiterate[/quote]can u remember you said this?
[quote author=Mr. Globe]lol.. I saw that too but decided to face the topic. Detroit is the capital of Michigan, Los Angeles for California, Chicago for Illinois and others but lets leave his ignorance and face his massage tho[/quote]whereas lansing is the capital of michigan, sacramento for california, springfield for illinois.
Stop exposing your folly on nairaland. Please embrace knowledge.

[quote author=Mr. Globe]ha.. what an iddiot.. we are fast heading into another century and you are still branding wikepedia as your authoritative news source. You just screamed to the whole world you are an illiterate[/quote]slowpoke! Name other generally recognised site for correct info other than wikipedia.
Wondering what level you are taking your ignorance to.

nigerian trained doctors are trying on their own part anyway!
Considering archaic apparatus and learning materials put in place for them, bad academic calender caused by ASUU-fg disagreement, uncultured lecturers, poor academia amenities, and lack of finances for the required books. These doctors still tried making do with their little knowledge from 'la crame la pour'.
Most of them would be better than the foreign trained if they had their oppurtunites.

just as if Aturu implies Sanusi Lamido mints more than he releases to the central bank.

[quote author=Mr. Globe]and this guy as usual manufactures another figures/statistics from his anus.[/quote]eediot! I formulated a figure on wikipaedia?
Just confirmed that your cerebrum is in ur bottom!

[quote author=Mr. Globe]sorry, its not for dummies like you.[/quote]sure gibberish cant be undestood by me anyway.

[quote author=Mr. Globe]when will these clowns stop disturbing us with this their daily noise. while other people have ingeniously found a way to take control of the nations economy, these cry babies want us to babysit them after ingloriously ruling the country for 8 years even without contributing nothing to the center. Anyway this is good for the Afenifere group and the Yoruba nation, their corniness and tribalism has eventually caught up with them. [/quote]summarise the gibberish you jst typed

I think confirmed news are meant to make the front page and not rumours

Lagos —A demand for the
disclosure of the salary,
allowances and other
entitlements enjoyed by the
governor of the Central Bank
of Nigeria, CBN, Mallam
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was,
yesterday, submitted to the
bank under the Freedom of
Information Act.
Leading civil right activist, Mr.
Bamidele Aturu made the
request in a letter to the CBN
governor made available to
Vanguard, yesterday.
Aturu’s demand is on behalf
of a lawyer, Anthony Itedjere
and according to Mr. Aturu
was made to determine if
the incumbent governor,
Sanusi is one of the public
officials guzzling public
funds.
Letter to CBN
Mr. Aturu in the letter dated
December 31, 2012 is also
demanding how much and
at what cost it takes for the
CBN governor to travel within
and outside Nigeria and
whether he also uses
chartered aircraft for his
travels.
Mr. Aturu whilst also
demanding the number of
drivers attached to the CBN
governor said he would go
to court to compel the bank
to provide the information
should the bank fail to supply
the information within the
required seven days as
provided in the Freedom of
Information Act.
CBN Governor, Sanusi
CBN Governor, Sanusi
“We believe that the CBN
governor is one of those
preaching for transparency
and public accountability and
that is why we are starting
with him, so we want to
know if his office is one of
those guzzling public too
much money,” Aturu told
Vanguard last night.
“We are starting with the
CBN governor because he is
one of those that have been
very vocal on the cost of
governance and we are
going to do it for many other
offices and it is part of our
action to enthrone public
accountability,” Aturu further
disclosed.
The letter requesting the
information read thus:
