₦airaland Forum

Like i have said many times without number, only a Big Fool would vote for Buhari in the upcoming elections. This man is a power-hungry saddist who has nothing to offer Nigerians. If he eventually becomes President, i foresee Nigeria being compared with countries like afghanistan, iraq and iran as a terrorist and conflict inflicted nation. Nigerians, shine your eyes! Say no to Buhari and Other ex-coupists!!

This kind of result is near to impossible.

GMcompere:
, a few weeks to come, imagine if you hear on the media the following results of the Governorship elections:


PDP, 2,998,457
ACN, 2,346,109
Labour, 25,000
ANPP, 650,000

Tell me, whats going to happen??

This year, Nigeria adds a new
billionaire Mike Adenuga, and
sees Aliko Dangote ’s fortune
skyrocket.
Alike Dangote
In the past year Aliko Dangote’s
fortune surged 557% to $13.8
billion, up from $2.1 billion, after
he consolidated all his public and
private cement holdings
throughout Africa into the
continent ’s largest cement
manufacturer and took it public
on the Nigerian stock exchange
in October. Dangote Cement now
has a market value in excess of
$13 billion, and accounts for a
quarter of the Nigeria Stock
Exchange’s total market
capitalization.
The dearth of native suppliers to
meet increasing cement demand
is driving the stock price.
Dangote projects demand at 72
million metric tons and growing
because of the drive to build
infrastructure in Nigeria, Africa’s
most populated nation, as well as
other countries; current supply is
67 million metric tons, a shortfall
of 5 million metric tons.
For perspective, he is now richer
than longtime white South
African billionaires Nicky
Oppenheimer of Debeers and
Johann Rupert of luxury goods
group Richemont, which owns
Cartier, Dunhill and other
premium brands.
For now he’s gearing up to
introduce Dangote Cement to
foreign investors. Companies
listed on the Nigerian stock
exchange are required to have a
minimum free float of 25%,
Dangote initially listed 5% of
shares. According to analysts at
Thaddeus Investment Advisors,
the Nigerian market is too
shallow for a stock of Dangote
Cement ’s size to be listed on the
exchange; this is why the
balance of the free float will be
listed outside of Nigeria.
Dangote, who recently bought
himself a $45 million Bombardier
aircraft for his birthday, has been
shuttling back and forth to
London for months, in
anticipation of a public offering
in London later this year.
He is certainly one to watch. After
a lucrative career in trading,
Dangote ventured into
manufacturing pasta, salt, sugar,
and flour in 1997, in part
encouraged by the policies of
former president Olusegun
Obasanjo. Eventually Dangote
went from importing and
rebagging cement to production
as well; he was awarded the
government ’s then state-owned
cement business and began
building his own plant in 2003.
Cement revenue which has been
primarily based on imports grew
15% a year between 2001 and
2005; once the Obajana plant
was fully operational in 2007,
revenue quadrupled; in fiscal
2009 revenue was $1.2 billion.
Dangote Cement now owns three
cement plants and two
terminals in Nigeria where he
both produces and still imports
cement. The Obajana plant is
Dangote ’s largest to date and
controls the largest market share
in Nigeria; Dangote terminals at
Lagos and Port-Harcourt have the
highest import quotas of all local
companies. With additional
capacity coming on line this year,
total capacity is expected to
reach 26 million metric tons by
the end of 2011. (also helping
boost profits: Dangote ’s newly
combined entity is tax exempt
through 2017.)
But he won’t stop there. Dangote
has started building investments
in cement plants and terminals
across Africa including Senegal,
Zambia, Tanzania, Congo,
Ethiopia, Cameroun, Sierra Leone,
Ivory Coast, Liberia and Ghana.
Mike Adenuga
Meanwhile his compatriot Mike
Adenuga who founded
Globacom, the mobile, fixed,
broadband, and international
gateway carrier, joins Forbes ’
billionaires list with a net worth
of $2 billion. Globacom launched
services in Nigeria in 2005, in the
Republic of Benin in 2008 and
has licences to operate in Ghana
and Cote d ’Ivoire (with Togo and
Senegal next). He took a big
gamble laying a $1 billion
undersea fibre optic cable, Glo-1,
to link Africa with the rest of the
world. (partnered with Alcatel-
Lucent) The connection will help
lower prices for customers as
well as help Adenuga expand
more quickly. www.mobile.forbes.com/webkit/index.php#_home

You must have thought this forum is meant for toddlers like you. Perhaps you need to go to the kiddies section to hawk your lies!

compare my post to yours. Which one looks more like a toddler's. I guess the answer is obvious

SIR: Following the indefinite
closure of Obafemi Awolowo
University by the University
management on February 23,
over students ’ resistance to the
increase in acceptance fee and
the compulsory health insurance,
there have been speculations on
when the school will be
reopened. One of the most
popular speculations is that
school will be opened after the
April general elections. Some
factions of the University Senate,
while accepting that school
should be reopened after the
convocation scheduled for March
9- 11, have supplied the
argument that since the
convocation comes barely three
weeks to the election, it is better
to reopen the school after
election so that there won ’t be
any other interruption after
reopening.
I want to clearly state that there
is no need for the management
to wait until after election before
reopening the school. If the
school is reopened after
convocation, the three weeks
before election could be used for
matriculation, reinstatement of
the Students ’ Union and
resolution of the crisis, and then
commencement of various
academic activities.
Waiting until after the general
election before reopening the
school which may be in the
month of May is an unnecessary
waste of time which does not
serve the interest of any of the
parties, especially the Students’.
Besides, 70 percent of OAU
students did their voter
registration on campus with the
implication that they will be
disenfranchised if the school
does not open before the
election.
We recall that the institution was
similarly closed during the 2003
general elections as a result of an
ASUU strike. In 2007, during the
general elections, the school was
also under closure courtesy of
the Professor Faborode versus
Akinola Saburi (the then
Students ’ Union Presdent) lecture
free week saga.
Now 2011 general elections, if
care is not taken, the school will
be under lock and key
throughout the electioneering
period.In 2007, the
disenfranchisement caused by
the university closure gave room
for the massive rigging of votes
of absent voters in the university
community. If the students are
not called back immediately after
convocation, OAU students will
be disenfranchised for the
second time and will give
another room for fraudulent
manipulations of our votes.
We call on the university Senators
to use their good offices to look
into this serious issue and
consider the possibility of
reopening the school
immediately after convocation to
avert the possible
disenfranchisement of the
students. Political parties are
also implored to ensure by all
possible means that the voice of
the 30,000 voters on Obafemi
Awolowo University campus is
heard in the forthcoming
election and their constitutional
right to vote for the candidate of
their choice is not trampled upon
by this prevailing circumstance.

Yeah, this Cool fm jingle surely fits the current state of kwarans!

I pity all of you guys dropping votes for buhari, especially christains and southerners. This man is a die hard religious fanatic, the only reason why he chose bakare as his running mate was to get more votes and not for other positive reasons. It wouldn't take buhari months to send bakare out and replace him with a northerner or an islamist if he is eventually elected! Its a pity that most you can't see beyond your eyes!

This Becomerich guy again! Haba!!

presido1:
Rubbish team blaming the ref. Don't kick the ball after the ref has whistled especially when the game is in your favour. That is the rule if you see it as soft that your own cup of coffee. Sagna received yellow too for such offence.

I did not see you people blame UEFA and ref when Messi's goal was disallowed 3 weeks ago, i did not see you guys blame the ref when ref waived away messi pen, i did not see you guys blame the ref when he gave a pen but no yellow to make it two for Kos.

The bottom line is you can't be on defensive mode for 90 minutes against a team like barca never!!!!!!.

As usual gnashing of teeth continues.

The person calling for EPL to pull out of UEFA, you should have called for FIFA/UEFA ban on Arsenal for disgracing EPL with this kinda display tonite.

See how you are showing the whole world your foolishness!

denzel2009:
Why are they blaming the Referee now? Why did the Stup!d Van-Persie get the unnecessary first yellow card? Even if Arsenal had 15 men on the field,they'd still have lost  the game. Please get over it Arsenal fans and talk less before each game.

efeboy:
I must confess I am a barca fan.

But what the ref did is starting to make me hate barcelona.

I loved barcelona for what they stand for, FAIR PLAY. However it seems to me that the fair play is only on the pitch alone. Probably some FOUL PLAY

has happened outside the pitch.

God Bless You. Anyone who says arsenal wasn't cheated today is only deceiving his or herself

If rvp was not red carded After the own goal by sergio busquets, and the referee didn't award that cheap penalty to barca; The score-line would have remained and Arsenal would have progressed to the next round! Take it or leave, Arsenal was cheated today!

Arsenal's season aint collapsed yet. Arsenal winning a double this season is still a possibility! If chelsea or man u met barca at this stage of the competition, i guess they would have been out by now! Arsenal haters back off, we have tried so far!! Pheww

medube:
Ol' boy you still dey sleep. Which time make we wake you?

mtscheww, no comments!

A bad day for the gunners! But maybe this loss is a blessing in disguise! Now we can concentrate on the premiership and fa cup. Arsenal despite all odds can stil finish the season with a double. Cheer up arsenal fans, our season aint finshed yet! Gunners till i quench!!

jude33084:
who is cheating who?

you are a fool if you don't know the answer to that question

I've switched
off my tv set and i'm going to
bed! I can't watch arsenal being
cheated!

if we loose, there would be no doubt that we were cheated

red card? This referee is on drugs!

gooooooallll, i can't believe it

fabregas is the biggest fool i've ever seen!!

And so?

The problem might be from your decoder or maybe your dish is improperly installed. You can place your complain on their facebook wall. You can also get an hitv installer to check your decoder or rather, go to any hitv friendship centre nearest to you so that they can upgrade and run tests on your decoder.

you are not normal! the only thing u could do reasonably well is to throw tantrums. i will suggest u consult a good psychiatrist to have your head examined. monkey!

Good Idea! This kulyie guy is something else.

ceah:
I have been thinking, who is more proficient in English language:
Dame Jonathan or Rita of DBang Koko Mansion ?

one must  be better than the other,
I heard they were both taught by the same teacher
just as okotie and obahiagbon were taught by same teacher,

Yeah, they were taught by the same teacher! They were taught by you! Jobless fool!!

Acn is the way forward in Nigeria! Vote for Acn, Vote for Ribadu, Vote for Fashola!

Barkono:
A New hit-single “Umblella” by Dame Patience Jonathan  released under Ebele Records. It is important to warn Nigerians that “an umbrella benefits the holder and at most one or two other closest to the holder. All the masses milling around alas are left in the cold unkind rain or other terrible conditions”, so as you dance to the music of “it is a umblella” vote wisely and say enough of the 12 to 13 years of the PDP-UMBLELLA in Aso Rock. To DOWNLOAD OR LISTEN  to the new hit single re-mix by Dame Jonathan please search for  “Umblela by Dame Patience Jonathan” on youtube or click on link
