_INTERNET-AFRICA-2

– Records 52% growth in 2014

Nigeria sustains its positive internet usage growth to record a 52 per cent increase in users in 2014 compared to an 11 per cent growth in 2013.

The country’s Minister of Communication Technology, Dr. Omobola Johnson announced this on Monday in Abuja as part of the media activity to mark the 2015 World Telecommunications and Information Society Day and the 150th anniversary of the International Telecommunications Union.



To go by the subscriber statistics of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Nigeria has 74 million Internet users, as at November 2014 which comfortably puts it in the lead ahead other Africa countries. Other major continental players are Egypt, Morrocco, Kenya, and South Africa.

Nigeria’s entertainment and media revenues to hit $8.5b by 2018

There is anxiety and there is fear among top government functionaries as D-Day approaches for the new APC government to take over. Virtually all the heads of ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) are working with financial and management auditors to have their handover reports ready in fulfillment of the transition obligations of the outgoing government of Dr Goodluck Jonathan.



“Abuja is full of activities even on Fridays when most heads of MDAs and their key staff routinely get out of the city to cool off,” one senior public official said. “We are working on handover notes.”



Fear and anxiety as to what direction the new government will take have forced all MDAs heads to stay actions on a number of activities and projects which requires actions and funding. “That will be risky now,” another senior civil servant said. “No director general or a senior director can afford to leave town now,” her added.

IGBO AGAIN..WHY DO THEY ALWAYS WIN IT ALL...THEY MUST BE BLESSED, SHE IS PRETTY


WHERE IS MY SOAP OR KLIN

oboy3:
dont mind them,,i grew up in lagos the way they dislike ijebu but they come online pretending they are all one,,many a times have i seen other yorubas swear they or their kids will never marrry ijebu,,there is this song used in tauting ijebu peeps

ijebu kala,ijebu buru

See how they hate ijebus


read this

Dauda Adesina Ajongbolo-Joki

t means different things to different people. IJEBU. To some, it means fake or counterfeit. A poor parody of an original item. Thus, we have 'owo ijebu' (counterfeit money). To others, Ijebu is a synonym for being stingy, being miserly or being thrift to the extreme. What the yorubas call 'ahun'. Some people see the Ijebus as a people with the most effective juju, particularly the ones for placing a curse or casting a spell on people. Thus, not a few people fear the Ijebus because of their belief in the damaging effect of what the yorubas call 'epe ijebu'.

Among the many sub-ethnic groups that form the yoruba race, i think the Ijebus are the most interesting people. Even the animals recognize Ijebu's complexity. That is why the bray of a mule produces the sound IJEB-U-U-U-U-U-U !!!!!!. Not even when one is faced with the reality of an imminent death, would he fail to mention ijebu. Thus, the very last words that come out of the water filled mouth of a drowning person who is emperiled in the mist of a deep sea, is 'JEBUUUU ! 'JEBUUUU !! 'JEBUUUUU !!!!

What does Ijebu mean to you? For me, the Ijebus are the most industrious people in this part of the world. Very shrewd in business, assiduous at work, cerebral at learning and highly articulate. They are also painstaking and meticulous in planning. Ijebus don't make empty noise, they are silent achievers. If Egba is the gateway to civilization, then ijebu is the zenith and resident thereof. So, a superman can not but be made of anyone with a combination of the two rich blood, running in his veins. That explains why Awo was great. It also accounts for why Wole Soyinka is special. My impression about the ijebus results from my encounters with a few of them, in the course of my adult life. I was thought law by Prof Taiwo Osipitan SAN, one of the most distinguished Nigerian man of letters and scholarship. His carbon copy in that field, is Prof Yemi Osinbajo SAN. They are two sides of the same coin on law of evidence. I mean these ijebu egg heads are original coins of the topmost grade, not 'ijebu coin'.The productive value of the ijebus is immeasurable. We see their hands in virtually everything of value, just name it. Gaari ijebu, ogiri ijebu, aporo epa ijebu, ose ijebu, epo ijebu, aso ijebu, fila ijebu, pako ijebu, Orin ijebu. Indeed, life is empty without ijebu's imput, the list is endless.

We yorubas have a way of forming peculiar impressions about each of the sub-ethnic groups in yorubaland. So, our impression about the Ekitis is different from those of Oyos. Those of Ijesas are not the same as the Ekos. Our idea of the Ondos and Akokos are different from those of Osuns, ilajes, ikales or Ifes. Although some of these impressions are not very true, they remain indelibly unchanged in our mindset. Yoobas, a mix bag of interesting variables. Ire o.

ElFenomeno1:
Why is she a disgrace to igbo women?

Changing surnames as if she is changing pants

OROSUNBOLB:
Yoruba despise Ijebu and Egba ? How can you despise yourself ? Ijebu and Egba have never said they are not Yoruba. The Yoruba are one indivisible people anywhere in the world,from Cuba to Brazil, from Jamaica to Trinidad and Tobago, and Benin republic to Nigeria. One people,one culture !

Forget that ..we know the way the ijebu are despised ..the okun are been called forest or mountain dwellers

Tell that to those not in lagos not me

walexy30:
Stop saying rubbish. Yorubaa are one united family irrespective of their geopolitical zones. From Kogi down to Lagos state.

Indivisible force.

united ..i laugh

I have seen many egun in badagry saying they are not Yoruba ...i have seen many okun in kabba saying they shouldn't be addressed as Yoruba ..I have also seen how Yoruba hate ijebus


Yet they are united

They have the unity of Jonah and the whale

Hanibal was a great man

pinkguy:
tribes around south east and south do not just hate igbo without reasons, after force some of this people to change their names and speak igbo, a good example is nsuka and ikwerre people. Why Do Igbos still try to force their identity on ikwerre people of river state but hate and reject nsuka people of enugu state maybe it because ikwerre are bless with oil and nsuka are not ,if ikwerre are igbo why do the take igbo property after the civil war ?

Not again


The same way Yoruba despise ijebu and egbas also

FOR HEAVEN SAKE THEY ARE IGBO TRIBES AND LEAVE IGBO TO SORT THEIR INTERNAL AFFAIRS


PLS

Afrobeau:
Hi everyone, please I need your advice. I am an Igbo girl but my boyfriend is from Delta state (He is Delta Igbo). We've been dating for some months and now he really wants to marry me. He's 25 which my parents think is too early for him to get married and I'm a year younger than him. Speaking of my parents, they are not 100% in support, my Dad is ok with where he's from but my mum, not so much. Their incomplete support also has to do with the fact that my boyfriend is not yet very established so they are skeptical of his true personality. I also heard stories that deltans marry many wives and that sometimes they cheat and do not take it as anything serious. He is good looking and has a couple of girls running after him. He says he loves me and has promised me over and over again that he will never cheat and will do anything to make me happy. I'm seriously confused. I love him but sometimes I have doubts.
Just any information about how marriage in Delta state works could help. Information on their religious beliefs and tradition, the physical environment, and the place of a wife in the extended family, or personal experience/marriage with Deltans will be appreciated. since he is Delta Igbo, will my kids be regarded as Igbo too, (my boyfriend sees himself as Igbo), I have nothing against Deltans but I would love my kids to be seen as Igbos however, I wouldn't reject my boyfriend if he wasn't 100% Igbo.
Thanks in advance.. (pls don't be rude)

delta igbo are pure igbo just like anambra igbo ...they have similar culture. With anambra and many anambra married delta igbo due to cultural similarity ....it depends on which part of igbo u r from ...as of ur children they will be pure igbo ..there are places in delta igbo that are more igbo than some anambra villages places like igbuzor ogwashi etc

But apart from that love isn't enough in marriage ..look at things like psychological and emotional maturity then compatiblity..cos when troubles comes love will for out ..then finance also ..if both of u guys are working then its okay. The age difference isn't an issue ...


Check if u can handle it.....

If u can ...then go ahead ...wish u success

Married a delta igbo lady also and we are cool .....IGBOS

SHE IS PRETTY BUT A DISGRACE TO IGBO WOMEN

Again...that was not from Buhari...but from Prof David-West...who also added the caveat...that a N45 price is possible with all the refineries working at close to full capacity...plus new ones being built.

Buhari has had nothing personally to say about pump pricing. And anyway...subsidy is on the way out.

The Director General of the National Information Technology Development Agency, Mr. Peter Jack has said investors who put their money in Nigeria’s information and communication technology industry will have a lot to reap, as the sector is still green and have a lot to give investors.

This was disclosed in a paper the DG of the NITDA delivered in Dubai during this year’s Gitex Technology Week. He said Nigeria remains the best destination in Africa for investment in ICT. The NITDA is the government agency saddled with the responsibilities of creating a framework for the planning, development, evaluation and regulation of IT activities in Nigeria

Jack said Nigeria is a gateway to investment in Africa, and is strategically positioned in the growth story of the global ICT industry. “Nigeria is an investment destination. There are challenges, but most of them can easily be surmounted. Even the demography of the country is strong for investment; there are about 180 million people, 45 percent of them are young and within the productive age group. It is a fast growing economy, I will invite investors to come in and invest now,” he assured.
