The Yoruba are a great tribe with many talented people in every sector, including the technological sector. However, this in no way negates the innovative and industrious nature of the Igbos. There's no shame in admitting that a particular region or tribe dominates a certain field; it doesn't make them any better or any worse than any other ethnic group. I truly believe that if Nigeria divides then we'll be able to see the best of the Yoruba and Igbo ethnic groups. The current format is not working...

persius555:
If EU countries refuse to mend fences with Russia, that's fine but so long as they rely heavily on Russian resources and the Ragtag Syrian rebels are not funded by American tax payers money, this should help relieve the noose around the Russian economy. A wealthy Russia is bad news to NATO, but America will learn to live with this. Trump will not be that stupid to commit resources to destabilise any country in middle east in order to please Europe. If Europe wants access to energy resources in the middle east, they can as well go it all alone instead of dragging America along.

You display your ignorance about international relationships.

Had Obama done anything before the Elections, it would have been seen as political and that he is merely siding with Hillary.

Obama acted at the right time, he waited for both the CIA and FBI to complete their investigations and issued their reports and conclusions on the hacking and forward a comprehensive report to congress.

In the US both Republicans and Democrats are supportive of Obama's sanctions with some Republicans saying Obama did not go far enough.

There is truly nothing Trump can do about it, if he likes let him sleep on the same bed with Putin, those spies are not coming back.

The overwhelming America sentiment against Russia/Putin is high, plus the underlying America foreign policy towards Russia is adversary; and a million Trumps will not change that. Immediately after his inauguration, Obama tried to change that to friendship and he failed. You remember his trip to Moscow and his now infamous 'reset' speech about the soar relationship between US and Russia under Bush? Republicans laughed at him in the back in the US. The bitter Truth is, Putin blew his chances with Obama, forget the current media romance between Trump & Putin.

Putin all of a sudden forgot that, America is not like Russia where the President have almost absolute dictatorial power, Presidents in the US are big gagantic figure heads. There are millions of things that even Buhari can do through the powers of his office that will make any America President jealous.

Very soon, Trump have to tow the line of the career CIA & FBI agents, who have indicted Russia; else there is no way he can be President and maintain a battle or disagreement with those two agencies.

As it stands presently, NATO members are Americas greatest allies on earth. But they all share different views on immigration in Europe. Europe has never been this divided. Greece is emerging from almost a decade economic downturn, Italy's economy is nosediving at a higher rate than ever, Most nations in eastern Europe are shutting their borders against immigrants who have left their home en masse following America's disastrous intervention in the middle east. On the other hand, Russia has succeeded in striking deals across the world. This in my own opinion is not a small feat.
America has only succeeded in created more enemies than it needs. If crude oil prices continue to rebound in the new year, global economy are likely to rebound, even to the delight of some oil producing states in America and Canada.

Who gets the thumbs up? Vladimir Putin or the Outgoing Obama administration.
I am not a fan of Vladimir Putin but his carefully planned approach to diplomacy rings a bell all around the world and I can only applaud it.

Trump has a business background, he is go see ng to focus more on the America economy and his latest utterances, I don't think he gives a damn about NATO as he has always criticized its members of contributing too little to its financial portfolio while America has continued to increase its quota. Trump doesn't buy this and this will definitely affect his decision making in Europe. Will this be to Russia's favor? I think that will depend on Putin's ability to mend fences with foes across Europe.

persius555:
Thank you for carefully taking your time to lay out and analyze the obvious facts. Many pro-american nairalanders are blinded to this facts because of their unwaivering love for anything America. The
white house through its network of foreign intelligence realise how potent Vladimir Putin as a seating russian president can be.
These latest rivalries started with the request by Poland to establish antinuclear missiles system on its soil. Since then, America uses all means and might to upset any Kremlin move in other parts of the world and this has made things worse all over Europe and the world at large.
America should stop thinking it is doing the world a great favor. Its policies are just creating enemies among rival nations with long history of differing ideology and way of life.

chnovpaul:
Oh! Really? The part that got me was the "medico" aspect. Nice to know that someone thinks the same way I do.

I am presently working towards a backpacking trip across West Africa, hopefully in February or March this year. I have been gathering as much information as possible. I like travelling solo, but wouldn't mind going with a few interested and adventurous persons.

I have been reading that a few people here want to do some countries in W. Africa. Have they gone, or are there other people interested in going?

toshmann:
You guys don't know international politics. Putin is trying to reestablish the okd soviet union-like Russia, but all the old republics are now western allies except Ukraine, and even then Ukraine started turning towards the west, their last remaining ally from the former soviet union, Putin went beserk amd now he is fighting for just a part of Ukraine.
Syria is the only foreing seaport Russia has, compared to US that has bases all over the world. Even that Syria, the US instigated trouble there and is trying to take it away from Russia.
US sanctions is killing Russian economy. So Putin is using gra gra to feel tough. Bc the long term politics, US is srewing Russia and it's not just Obama, it's US state department regardless of who is POTUS.

Lets look at Anambra state and see why it is more sustainable than most oil producing states.
There are three major cities that drive the economic prosperity of Anambra state; Nnewi, Onitsha and Awka.
Nnewi is the industrial city of Anambra State. Nnewi is home to several indigenous industrial manufacturing companies. Nigeria’s first car manufacturing plant is located at Nnewi. Nigeria’s auto part manufacturing factories are located at Nnewi, the first Nigerian made motorcycle was and is still been produced at Nnewi. There are several number of indigenous industrial products been produced at Nnewi. Technically, Nnewi is referred to as the ‘Japan of Africa’. One fascinating thing about Nnewi is that most (if not all) of the industrial estates and manufacturing factories located there were built by indigenous efforts and by Nnewi people. Ibeto Group of Companies, Cutix and ADswitch, Uru Industries Ltd, Omata Holdings Ltd, Cento Group of Companies, Coscharis of Companies Group, Innoson Group of Companies, Ebunso Nig. Ltd, John White Industries, Ejiamatu Group of Companies, Chicason Group, Louis Carter Group, etc are all manufacturing companies established by Nnewi people at Nnewi. These indigenous industrialists simply transformed Nnewi into what it has become. Nnewi alone accounts for over 70% of the auto parts manufacturing business in Nigeria. Nnewi has a private sector driven economy.
The indigenous industrial efforts at Nnewi means thousands of jobs for residents and millions in revenue for the state government.
Onitsha is the commercial city of Anambra State, it is gradually also becoming an industrial city too. A number of new manufacturing companies have recently sprang up within the city, making it not only a trade center but also a production center. The Onitsha main market is one of West Africa’s biggest markets and provides opportunities for thousands of entrepreneurs and revenue for the state government. Onitsha is a private sector driven economy.
Awka is the state capital of Anambra state. As expected, it is a city mostly funded by state government activities. Awka hosts the government structures, universities, and a pocket of small commercial activities.
Anambra state govt seem to have an efficient civil service that has helped it survive through this period of low federal allocations. Anambra internally generates between N2-3billion Naira monthly. After Ogun State, Anambra recorded the highest improvement in IGR within the past two years.
Anambra has an impressive road network system that makes almost all of its rural communities connected by road. The same applies to electricity distribution. The state also has an impressive system of funding and managing of its basic schools. Secondary school education is subsidized, students pay between N2- 4,000 per term. Public basic education is therefore not free like it is in the Delta. This is a sustainable approach.
Every public secondary school has a made-in-Anambra-Innoson school bus. The waste disposal trucks in the state are made-in-Anambra- Innoson trucks. Some local security vehicles are made-in-Anambra-Innoson vehicles.
Anambra has a ‘community police’ system which it calls ‘vigilante’. This security system is decentralized in such a way that every community has its own team of indigenous security men, managing the security of the community. They are armed and have patrol vans. The vigilante system is more effective than the Nigerian Police system. These security officers are not paid by the communities but by the state government. These set of security officers are more visible than the Nigerian Police officers.
In the government school where I worked, we have a brand new sound proof generator which Peter Obi delivered to the school years back. I am sure the school has never used that generator since it was delivered. We also have two other generators, we only use one of them. The school has also replaced its black boards with white boards and have therefore replaced chalks with markers. The school is a beneficiary of an NCC initiative and therefore has internet access, tens of laptops and desktop computers which it uses to teach its students. Our library has good books and the overall management of the school is commendable. Supervisors show up from state ministry once in a while to assess teachers performance. Its a state owned school.
The youth corpers who passed out of service last month in Anambra state received between 80-140k backlog payment for their service to the state. Surprisingly, while oil rich states like Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom have either slashed state youth corpers allowances by half or even stopped payment, Anambra state early this year increased corpers allowances and paid them all sometime last month before their passing out.

Anambra has an impressive number of indigenous billionaires who are driving their local economy. It is rumored that Anambra state alone has the highest number of billionaires in Nigeria as at today. I do not mean resident billionaires, I mean billionaires by state of origin. You can research this yourself.
On agriculture; there is a group of people called Anam in Anambra state. These people are driving the agricultural revolution in the state. They are as hardworking as the Hausa/Fulani manual workers. Those who know the Hausa/Fulani manual workers in the South will attest to their productive ability to deliver on difficult projects at cheap rates. And they provide cheap labor. In Bayelsa for example, the local Ijaw unskilled workers are complaining about how the Hausa/Fulani manual workers are taking over their manual jobs. These set of people can deliver on any kind of labor work and their prices are unbelievable. Anambra has these kind of people too and they are from the Anam area. The Anam people of Anambra state are predominantly farmers. In terms of agriculture, they are as productive as Northern Nigeria. Farming is their religion and their location along the Niger River gives them an edge over other farming groups in the state. They grow yam, tomato, plantain, rice, cassava, melon, potatoe, and many others. It is rumored that Anambra is now getting close to been self-sufficient in tomato production; thanks to the Anam people. I also hear that Anambra now exports vegetable.
One interesting thing I like about Anambra people is their hustling spirit and the drive to develop their hometowns even without government support. You will be amazed at what individuals and diaspora town unions are doing to develop their communities in Anambra state. A man named Ichue Mike Ezenduka built a 4.2 kilometer road for his community from his personal pocket. Another man named Dr. Godwin Maduka is building a 15 storey specialist Orthopaedic hospital in his hometown, this is outside the number of other projects he has constructed there. An Anambra business man named Authur Eze pays every youth corper serving in his hometown an additional ten thousand Naira monthly from his personal pocket. There are several other interesting efforts by Anambra people that I do not want to mention here. The point is, the rich people of Anambra consider themselves as part of govt and also take social responsibilities, especially as it affects their immediate hometowns.
Anambra state is a sustainable state because, just like Lagos, the economy is not funded by politics of allocation alone which boils down to the civil service. The industrial and commercial activities are what drives the economy and even the politics.
In oil states like Delta and Bayelsa, the bulk of the economy is funded by politics. Asaba for example is a city sustained by government patronage. Yenegoa depends heavily on federal allocations. If civil servants are not paid, the economy (down to the market women) becomes grounded as it has recently become. After churches, the next biggest industry in Yenegoa is hotel. These hotels are patronized by mostly oil contractors and govt officials, with the grounding of the oil sector which by extension also grounds the govt, the hotel industry has nearly collapsed due to low patronage. In the past, due to free oil money, the govt of Bayelsa employed 'everybody' to work in its civil service as a way of empowerment and wealth creation. Today, the action is no longer sustainable and the decision is difficult to reverse. Today, the civil servants cannot be paid nor sacked. The state is almost grounded. Despite the free oil money that has accrued to the Niger Delta states over the years, the region still suffers from been seen as a sustainable region. Its civil service is fraudulently bogus, its development contracts are ridiculously inflated, its businessmen are administrative based, they rise with an administration and fall when the administration leaves office. Their sources of wealth cannot be sustained because it is based on govt patronage. Akwa Ibom has fantastic public infrastructures but there are no serious internal economic activities to sustain the system. Port Harcourt city of Rivers State is gradually feeling the heat of the oil sector crisis. Port Harcourt industrial economy is oil servicing based. The other economy is funded by politics. With the oil sector in crisis, Port Harcourt is becoming a stagnant city in terms of economic prosperity. IOCs are unable to pay contractors. Contractors are forced to lay off staff to remain afloat. The Onne Port which would have created an alternative economic prosperity for the state is greatly and wrongly tied to the oil & gas sector and is badly affected by federal politics.
While Anambra state is producing and selling indigenous products to the rest of Nigeria and earning exchange to sustain its people and state, most Niger Delta states are still at the level of consumption. This is the big difference.
Recently, a development commission in the Niger Delta needed a client to purchase some plastic products worth over two hundred million Naira. I was directed to find a manufacturer that meets the specification. I could not find any in Port Harcourt or any other Niger Delta state. I ended up recommending Innoson factory at Enugu and another at Lagos. The deal has already been struck. Enugu and Lagos will be patronized for the contract. This is what we are talking about. Enugu, Anambra and Lagos have products to offer Nigeria just like the North is offering in agriculture. What are the Niger Delta states offering the rest of Nigeria to earn more money for its govt?
The future of Nigeria lies not even in agriculture but in manufacturing. This is why I am impressed at what indigenous people are doing at Nnewi and Lagos.
The Niger Delta might have lost its golden opportunity just like other regions of the country due to the resource curse syndrome which comes with free oil money. Anambra is successful because indigenous Anambra people have a natural inclination to succeed by whatever means necessary. Alot still has to be done by the state govt though.
Anambra could have been better if the federal politics was right. Anambra could have been better if the constitution made room for community based govt which they already do practice in some sense. I have seen community unions donate transformers, build public schools, manage hospitals and do many more things in that Igbo land. It all shows that there is a sense of responsibility towards home. With a community based govt system in a place like Anambra, development will reach the grassroot. I see a place like Anambra becoming an ideal destination for economic opportunities.
I hope the Niger Delta people will learn a thing or two from the Anambra people soon. Its time to think home in a sustainable manner.
It is time for state govts to pick up the list of imported products into Nigeria and say to themselves, what and what on this list can we replace between now and three years time from our states? What is our comparative advantage?
The Igbos are already trying to overcome the Forex crisis by expanding their local manufacturing base by finding local substitutes. The Igbos are both traders and industrialists. They don't only sell, they also produce. Onitsha and Nnewi is a perfect example of this illustration and Anambra state is simply reaping the benefits from its peoples effort. Everyday you see trucks moving finished goods from Anambra to other parts of Nigeria just like it is done from Lagos state. You hardly see same from most Niger Delta states.
The unitary system that we practice has hampered competition among states for too long. It is becoming clearer now that there will likely be no more free oil money soon. Those like Anambra who have laid the foundation for industrial revolution have nothing to fear. The industrial companies will provide the taxes through which the govt will survive. That is how it should be.
I feel worried for Bayelsa state. I worry for Delta state too. And I pray that the oil sector collapse as soon as possible. That might be the only opportunity for us to start thinking. Not just here in the Delta but in the whole of Nigeria.

IslamicRebel:
Read this about Islam and you know whether you live in a safe area or not. The percentage population of muslims will determine whether you are safe or not. Please read and share especially with Christians in the Middle Belt.


As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:

United States -- Muslim 0.6%

Australia -- Muslim 1.5%

Canada -- Muslim 1.9%

China -- Muslim 1.8%

Italy -- Muslim 1.5%

Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.

This is happening in:

Denmark -- Muslim 2%

Germany -- Muslim 3.7%

United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%

Spain -- Muslim 4%

Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for

Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:

France -- Muslim 8%

Philippines -- 5%

Sweden -- Muslim 5%

Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%

The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%

Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris , we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in:

Guyana -- Muslim 10%

India -- Muslim 13.4%

Israel -- Muslim 16%

Kenya -- Muslim 10%

Russia -- Muslim 15%

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:

Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:

Bosnia -- Muslim 40%

Chad -- Muslim 53.1%

Nigeria--50%

Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and ***ya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:

Albania -- Muslim 70%

Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%

Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%

Sudan -- Muslim 70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:

Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%

Egypt -- Muslim 90%

Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%

Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%

Iran -- Muslim 98%

Iraq -- Muslim 97%

Jordan -- Muslim 92%

Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%

Pakistan -- Muslim 97%

Palestine -- Muslim 99%

Syria -- Muslim 90%

Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%

Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%

United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace. Here there's supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:

Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%

Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%

Somalia -- Muslim 100%

Yemen -- Muslim 100%

It's your opinion...but let's reason. Do you know why White women stick to the very kind of men that disrespects them the most?..White men? ...or Asians stick to the very kind of men that disrespects them the most?..Asians? I guess you know... and their reason is good enough but not good enough for Black women. Are you just as upset with them that they don't explore more and go after us... Black men? .... and don't you wonder why Black men stick to the very kind of women that disrespect them the most?...Black women? .... and wouldn't you encourage Black men to explore more?... like the ones in the NFL and NBA? If you think Blacks in the US believe it's cool that Black celebrities be marrying Whites you need to think again.
@ topic..... Serena has a history of making poor choices. .... jumping quickly into relationships and hoping for the best.... the difference with this is she has jumped out of her kind and should this not work out. .. then the media would be ripping her to shreds...... digging up and airing out all her dirty laundry.... that's what they always do, that's the subtle racism... and that's why Blacks are upset. Wasn't Tiger Woods the darling of the media?.... it took only a little spat with his wife for them to bring out the tyre and petrol and scratch the match.

FunnyDude:
I just discovered that in today's Nigerian economy sphere even with ur MSc u'r not guaranty any good job or better life. The ability to use ur own initiative and take risk is what can put food on ones table. But seriously, I've lost flare for education after this my first degree anomaly. I also discovered that what we were forced to read in school was someone opinion & thought on a particular subject area; which makes most of Nigerian graduate less productive after school... Streethood has taken over!!! Education is not for me!!!

mayoroflag:
There is no miseducation.

We have just experienced value systems that have tended to reinforce an inferiority complex (for instance, our cultures naturally place premium on foreign cultures). In fact a few of our systems actually encourage a superiority complex but a failure to be able to express this into English or demonstrate superior economic management and science in political economy is what is largely undermining whatever sense of superiority might have been achieved.

Also even in systems with obvious problems, the elites in any black society are not usually willing to give way to competent people to drive their community's greatness. In fact during the early independence years in AFRICA, such people were eliminated by imprisonment and left to die in sickness and neglect (with largely the exception of Mandela and a few others under twisted circumstances).

Africans have not evolved from the illusion of the absoluteness of their leaders, which the whites, Asians and recently, some Arab nations have emerged from.

It will take a combination of education and common interests that go beyond our ethnic and religious barriers for now. Until then, the transition continues.

N.B Note that Obama is not a product of this system. This made it easy for him to be easily accepted and for him to de-emphasise the victimist mentality that continues to plague most black Americans.

lezznjr:
And here goes another unpatriotic fool who would sell his country at any price with misleading information just to discredit his political adversaries!!!

Tonyebacarnista, please stick to domestic politics, you're an exhibit A of ignorance when you venture into geopolitics.

[b]Kenya isn't even amongst Africa's top 10 countries. If you want to slight APC, fine. Do it domestically. Comparing Nigeria to Kenya means you're an ignoramus, a compound simpleton and a political turncoat. You're a disgrace in a single word.


Now to facts: Only 42% of Kenyans are connected to the national grid as against 50% in Nigeria despite our exploding population. So Kenyans are having huge power issues when not even faced with vandalism of pipelines carrying gas to plants.

Kenya rely on tourism to feed, dummy. How dare you compare tourism between Nigeria and Kenya? Are you a daft? It is like comparing holiday resorts between the Mediterranean countries and America, or
tourism between Egypt and Canada.

Boy, Kenya is so undeveloped their natural wild animals roam free, British tourists had to set up game reserves and tame those animals and in the process provide food for 45 million starving Kenyans whose social graces and living conditions were no better than bonobo-chimpanzees. And get your facts right, Kenya is in East Africa not West.

Life expectancy? Boy, What's that got to do with geopolitics. Little countries always have higher life experiences, E.g Luxembourg, Switzerland, Finland and two other silly Asian countries, I can't even bring their names to the fore, but they aren't Japan or South Korea or China and these other small countries have higher life expectancies than US , Germany, UK, France. You're a glorified daft.
The toks2008 of political section.

Mr. Unpatriotic daft, have you compared Nigeria's PPP and GDP to Kenya's? Have you compared our per capita income to Kenya's? Olodo.


Over half of Kenya is of virgin vegetation as it was from creation. Even Nairobi is half forested with unproductivity and primal existence.

Olodo, what is the size of Kenya's middle class in percentage compared to Nigeria's?


A fool like you is talking mobile money when NIGERIA is talking space technology, being the only 2 or 3 African countries to launch sattelite into the orbit.

Nigeria is ranked no3 in Africa in technology just behind Egypt and south Africa and i couldn't find Kenya in that list.

As we speak, Nigeria's banks and firms are dominating Western and Eastern Africa and i can't seem to remember any Kenyan firm scattered across Africa .


We are undergoing economic recession at the moment as many other counties who depend on single commodity product for revenue generation, but don't ever compare NIGERIA with Kenya, you ignorant fool.
