This is super good. I like the way the SW come together to achieve common goals. Other regions need to learn. The NW and SE are almost as homogeneous as SW, but they are not able to put out a unified stand

Aha. Banning cattle grazing shouldn't be by fiat, but structured to ensure the ban becomes sustainable and a win-win

All hail South West Coastal Road, the closest road to the heart of the president. The road whose section 1 was hastily commissioned even when it wasn't completed. The road which has defied the law of the country. The road whose right of way keep changing as the project progresses. The road which we are told will reach Calabar but we know it won't happen.

Those southerners who lynch and burn people for petty stealing are nothing better than the northerners who killed Deborah.

The OP is really a wise man. His predictions have come to pass.

Omo. The thread is from the glory days of this platform. Almost 30 pages on just one topic. Today some front page topics don't go beyond 2 pages.

Yeah. It's true. But such a tune shouldn't be used for the president. It erodes the neutrality of the military. How would it make sense for such a song to be played during a campaign season?

The brigade should compose neutral tunes that can be sung for whoever becomes president, it should convey loyalty that's due to the office and not the person occupying it.

He only said there's no genocide, but admitted that there are killings ongoing.

Pure lies. The chief of army staff that gave Boko Haram the hottest hell was Buratai followed by Minimah. BH actually festered under Ihejirika. So don't bring your propaganda here.

As usual, islamophobes having a field day

Many of us have been on Nairaland platform for more than a decade. We have seen it through its heydays, few tumultuous moments and now sadly witnessing its decline. Until recently, Nairaland was one of the top five websites in Nigeria in terms of user traffic. It attracted all sorts of people from the job seekers to enthusiasts and professionals.

I do not intend to discuss the myriad of issues that are contributing to the reduced patronage for I believe the backend managers are not unaware of the factors. But I would like to highlight an opportunity for Seun and his team to explore in order to improve user experience.

In this age of digital innovation where internet users have several websites to choose from, incentivisation of content is key. When a platform features great content, it becomes an automatic magnet for users. Unlike some years back, NL content haven't been encouraging. Many a times, the topics are just regurgitations of what had already evaporated in spaces like X and Facebook. The situation is worse in the inner sections of the forum, where good contributors have left. Some have decided to move to WhatsApp and Telegram. We no longer see genuine content like those Explorers, xfire, etc.

My suggestion is for Seun to identify top contributors and have an agreement on content writing which will earn them a token. Veteran contributors like Baba naptu should be recognized and rewarded. Deploy your analytics to track those contributors who have left the forum, and find a way of bringing them back.

This is my little contribution. I hope you look into this, and all other suggestions made by other members.


@Seun

Here in Nigeria, only God knows the number of foreigners holding our national identities.

Such despicableness. Animalistic behavior from the genociders.

Kukah is now speaking like a politician. If it were 3 years ago when he had no federal appointment, I'm 100% sure he'd say sth contrary to his current submission.

Every other governor is not blamed for insecurity in his state except Elrufai who had a hard stance on terrorists and crisis profiteers. He rejected proposals for negotiations with bandits and instead suggested that the military should carpet bomb them. The southern Kaduna crises preceded him by more than twenty-five years and it's still there deep seated. What they're currently doing is just playing politics by negotiating with bandits who are bound to return to their old ways

Mariangeles:
Another one I'd like to try out someday is gurasa.
Gurasa is more like a flat bread, usually baked in a local clay [vessel] oven.
It can be paired with a variety of stuff, depending on your choice.
Me, I'd like to try it with yaji and suya.

Pictures of gurasa and how it's baked.

Nlfpmod, happy weekend to you o.

Gurasa with suya and yaji is a great combo. Especially if the yaji has a good portion ground kulikuli.

This is from 2021.Mod what's happening?

delpee:
The bulk of the Sokoto-Badagry expressway lies within the North.

This is one meeting. It's wise to look at all the approved/ongoing projects for proper perspective.

PMB stopped Ibadan - Abuja rail line and the SE line in favor of Kano- Maradi rail line. He favored the North more in every way.

Who started and completed the only standard gauge railway in the south west?

Shawarmagirl:
Yorubas will be shouting 'IT IS THE TURN OF THE SOUTH'. But in reality, all projects goes to South West.

The North should shut up and face their front. When Buhari was doing it, they accepted it and throw blind eyes just as South West accept it now and throw blind eyes. Another President from another region will eventually emerge and the Yoruba will come and wail as the North is Wailing now.

Tell us one project Buhari did in the north that doesn't have an equivalent in the south

Oya come and disband the hisba na. Most people who abhor what hisba does are the immoral ones who dress indecently and are of bad public behavior

Good one from Singapore. If it were a muslim country that punishes by flogging, phobes will have come blazing with vitriol. Countries should set whatever sanctions they think will serve as deterrent even if it's death sentence. It's one key think lacking in Nigeria and that's why we've been in a quagmire in long time. If not for public pressure, the president would have amnestied convicted criminals who ordinarily should have gone to the gallows.

AllBlack:
only 20 people selected in the whole ministry but I can swear that over 20 people received credit alerts for this TRAINING.

Is it a crime to to be paid allowances? If you were there, won't you collect?

By the way, that plant isn't eco-friendly evident by the black solid particles hanging around its atmosphere. Yes, the plant is a good progress in terms of Nigeria's steel development but let the ministry address the air pollution issue

Just imagine o. Nonsensical democracy. You guys said it's government of the people. The people said they want some of their issues according to the dictates of their religion, yet younow tag them as extremists. Sharia courts are meant for muslims because customary courts do not cover their needs.
For those stoking the embers of hatred against their country men, you're free to continue. When the wahala comes striking, it's a free for all.

The problem I see here is the PR. How much is water carts that you need to organize a fanfare like this. As for empowering people with a source of livelihood, I see no wrong here. Just because someone is a cart pusher or porter doesn't mean he wouldn't go to school. A cart pusher in a good location can fetch more than the 70k minimum wage that many struggle to get. Better to be a menial worker than to be a criminal element.

Saddening. We can now see through the propaganda that Uba Sani and CG Musa have secured Kaduna.

VOsimhen144:
I feel this a Good news for the economy, bad news for fuel importers.

We have Dangote refinery which has even expanded to become the world's largest refinery. Why are we still importing fuel when we have local refinery ? BUA is almost completing his own too.. this will make our Naira stronger against the dollars while we also earn more of foreign exchange by exporting the products abroad which Dangote has already started exporting to the United States.

The fuel importers can also avoid this fuel import Tax by building local refinery here to compete against Dangote thereby creating a competitive market environment which will eventually crash the price of the products totally

You say the refinery has expanded? You think say na balloon?

Metrofox:
Someone else might say it serves them right for being grossly disloyal very typical of most employees here, they won't bat an eyelid to mess their oga up. Someone that did you a favor to employ you still has to sleep with one eye open if you're not stealing him blind , you join a stranger to sabotage him. No pity for disloyalty , he's only looking out for himself same way you turned your back on him for your greed.

So employment is a favor? Wow

ObiPandora:
If he reach my turn after gaining employment in a place like Dangote refinery with all it benefit in a terrible wicked country like Nigeria n I joined any senseless union to sabotage the effort of the company x trillion of what this redloped worker face should be my portion.

Una go open mouth talk rubbish as if you do not own functional brain.so Dangote should accept those that sabotage his investment worth trillion of dollar because of a you who as nothing to contribute to the society is making senseless comment on NL ba ?! De play.

If na your type dey this country in the 50s,Nigeria would never have gained independence

integrity16:
Were they denied personal protective equipment? You people just like to comment on topics you don't have adequate knowledge of. I remember Dangote sending 800 of these trainee engineers to India for training before the commencement of the refinery back then, you can Google it.

Do you know how much dangote had invested in them in terms of training before they even started working in the refinery? Instead of them to be loyal to that organization, they started sabotaging it, now look at where it has landed them?

They should kuku resign, shebi PENGASSAN have many tank farms at Apapa, let them apply there for work. Simple!

You just dey talk wetin you no know.

One doesn't need to dig deep to know that this is pure victimization. For those supporting the maltreatment of workers, one day e fit reach your turn. If you no work in such places, your brother or your friend might work there. No way in this 21st century a plant worker should be denied personal protective equipment.

Helinuse:
You obviously don’t know what a university is.

For you to think that some HR somewhere will overlook a UI, UNN, ABU, OAU graduate for a covenant university, means that you don’t even know what the corporate world is.

Except if you are talking about about those LinkedIn “corporate” one apartment company in Lekki or Ikeja who are referring to themselves as “startups” simply because they have some money from their parent to spend.

Go and tell Shell, Chevron, UAC, or Professors Abroad seeking for PhD Students, that you are from covenant and watch them take you for a joke.

Omoh. Your knowledge is archaic. No employer will overlook Covenant graduate o. First class and 2.1. They complete and many times outshine their counterparts from public universities

This road project is one of the benchmarks I use to show the slim probability of of having a coastal road from Lagos to Calabar. Just pull up your Google map and have a look at the route and the terrain. Even without zooming in, you'd notice the several rivers criss-crossing the swampy terrain. From Delta down to Cross River same story. This project took almost a decade partly because of its complexity and I suspect funding issues, and it's just about 40km. What of a 700km road that's dual lane?

I think it's in Kebbi
