Sanusi is right.

Lagos is a leading state in Nigeria, and other States can copy the growth model of Lagos (even tho Lagos had a head start as Nigeria's former capital)

No need to go tribal about this

Adminisher:
This is the STUPIDEST poll ever. It is a poll of performance rather than ability or strategy. Buhari HIMSELF rates his current performance on the economy LOW because the measures put in place have not yielded results. Since the results are expected
in 2017/2018, it is not surprising. So the poll is low IQ all the way. A student who is going to score a has not passed until he has taken the exams. You cannot gauge a harvest while the crops are still in the ground.

Nigeria is trying to beat recession by borrowing and SPENDING on infrastructure but militants have cut FG earnings by 30% and security expenditure is killing other sectors.

Also the whole business of using the word "economic management " is funny. Was Nigeria managing it's economy well since independence?. The answer is NO. Oil prices have been high in cycles of 7 years and we gave spent and wasted money when the price went up. There has never been economic management in Nigeria before Buhari's first regime and later OBJ's first term.

Nigeria is an inefficient and corrupt culture of patronage designed for a rulling class that alternated between the military and civilians. No economic management was ever done because very few members of the rolling class apart from Buhari and a few others ever cared about the masses

Buhari cares about the masses
And managed the economy in 84?

you are a BIG joker

welzyj2:
Na old pic dem attach even thou some facts are correct. I don't think 80 million are below poverty line Oºº. #haba i can say out of 180 million pple 100 are poor. Below poverty which is extreme cant b more dan 30. Abeg make oyinbo no paint us anyhow.

You have not been to the north before.
If you have, then you will not say what you just said up there

It is Buhari I blame for all this mess.
Only if he unified the country in his utterances, we would not be seeing silly slogans like "this zoo must fall" etc.

What gives these men the assurance that they will be alive in 2019? People that can die at Any time

Bolustic:
So you're blaming Kemi for rot NOI & GEJ left. So you expect the change to come in less than two years but you could endure misrule for 16 years.

If GEJ had left a buoyant economy as he claimed, how come he had to borrow to pay for the first quarter of last year?

If he left a "buoyant economy" would there have been a need to replace him?

If that was the mentality of this government, it means it is an opportunistic government, and shameless too.

momoyama:
I think you are getting me wrong. I do not criticize your decision to work in London. In fact it is a cool place to work and live. I support your doing so. I have a brother living in Spain, although he has never worked a day in his life. I am just stating that GENERALLY it is bad for so many people to be leaving or trying to leave that it, firstly, makes it hard for genuine tourists to travel visa free and, secondly, takes so much of the talent out of the country.

I see your point

Even in 2006 there was mass exodus

In 2016, ten years later; with this Buhari economy, I wonder the adjective to qualify the outflow

Nice one

saintruky:
I want to visit Ghana but don't have an international passport. Pls advice

It's possible.
As long as you have a valid ID card like voter's card etc.

Chisco, and Young Shall Grow accept ID card but I don't know for ABC

mickool:
Ize iyamu is attacking Obaseki with venoms. Indeed, ize iyamu just exposed himself top then whole that he didn't know anything about finances.He thinks by telling lies he get at Obaseki. Obaseki is a gentle man to the core. He analysise issues with facts unlike ize iyamu who is antagonistic.

This is a joke right

Weedcrusher:
The problem I see with Nigerians or should I say Nairalanders for precision, is that most of you have a mentality of it's either our people is better or others are worse. It's either you are with us or totally against us.

And truth be told, I have observed this amongst the Yoruba and Igbo tribes, but that doesn't exclude other tribes in the country. People express illusion of grandeur when there is something good being talked about their tribe, and immediately transition into a defensive demon when something not so good is being said about their tribe.

We get it the Yoruba and Igbo people of Nairaland, your tribe is the best. Can we now move on to something productive and unifying for the interest of building our great nation?

Now to the Topic at hand, It is a great gesture from this young man and his sister to come back to their root and start a scholarship scheme in honour of their late father. This action should be encourage and should be an inspiration for other Nigerians in diaspora to come back home and do something productive

Instead of you that Yoruba boy coming on this thread and see no good in what the guy has done because he is from Igboland, just bury your face in shame for being so myopic. And instead of you that you Igbo boy bragging about how great your tribe because of what your brother has done, just shut your mouth and use your brain in thinking of how you can help your society when you become successful

QED: Let there be peace among us all. Instead of engaging in tribal war and hate, let's unite and move this country in the right direction

I'm glad you have spoken AGAINST this madness that have consumed many here...
Ok, your tribe is "greater" what next?
Does it guarantee free food for your tribesmen and you?
Does it give scholarship?

Dumb people already.

What is this one saying?

Im beginning to love these Kenyans

Love the Kenyans for insulting your country? It's a pity

ShootToKill:
How can yorubamudeens and Abokirudeens successfully win the twitter war against kenya now that The SE/SS have abandoned them to fight kenyans alone.

What kind of mentality is this?

Youem:
The First vice chancellor who happened to be from Benue State caused it all.
It was so annoying that even security men and cleaners employed then by the university were brought from Benue State. The first admission list was the same with very few students students from Katsina state. Almost all lectures were outside Katsina state. How should we be denied admission and employment in other universities and also the one established for us? I so much believed that time like this will come.
Who is cleansing who?

Are you serious
Tell me more.

iykecicero:
Useless SINator. After you had founded Boko Haram, nursed them to the monster that they became, you came out to wail. You should know that whoever rides the back of the tiger always ends up in the tiger's belly.

On a second note, I thought they say the northerners loves themselves. Why is malnutrition ravaging the north? Where's the Five Pillars of Islam (Zakat: paying an alms (or charity) tax to benefit the poor and the needy)? Is it only getting dollar at N197/$1 and smuggling cocaine by Mecca-bound female Afonjas along the way.

The Zoo is falling and killing her littler monkeys and babboons along the way.

You are calling your countty a zoo

That says a lot about your intelligence

greenpasture:
Oh it does. In spite of Norway having the largest swf, it's growth year on year is falling simply because it needs to invest in countries with higher growth rates. And by the way Kenya is no Norway. When you talk about high growth rates and ease of business you talk Rwanda not Kenya.

Let me give you an example, an entrepreneur in ihub Kenya develops a great app. How does it scale? What is the latent user base?

This jingoist talk on the Internet is foolishness. All these African countries need each other ; for comparative skills, and user scale. I've worked in partnership with ihub Kenya so I know how intelligent Kenyans talk. They aren't comparing Nigeria with Kenya. They know that these are two totally different dynamics. It's apples and oranges. Only kids are getting into this war of words. The smart money is working together.

My children were educated in Nigeria, Cameroon; St Bedes and Kenya; Peponi School. Before doing their uni in the UK at Bristol. So this twitter war is drivel. Real business is being done between the two countries based on their different dynamics. Saying one is better than the other is rubbish.

You are a very reasonable person.
Don't mind all these losers bad mouthing the country.

malton:
Much as this incident is a shame, your "analysis" is shallow, myopic and reeks of ignorance with lies tinged in between.

Tribalism is very common in Nigerian institutions. I come from Plateau State. In the University of Jos, in order to hold sway even as a lecturer, you must have come from the middle belt and especially, Plateau, followed very closely by the Igbos and Yorubas. And most importantly, you must be Christian.

You wil think that this is about tribe alone, but no, as humans we always have a way of exploiting our differences to gain advantages we usually wouldn't have had.

Case in point is Unizik, where I serve. Depite it being an Igbo school, you will always find Anambra people pitting wits against Igbos of other states. The VC's seat is still not given, not actually because of the magumagu he and his co-conspirator, the erstwhile VC employed to get him there, but because he is from Imo state, worst still, because he's "Mbaise" as they term it. I know this because I work right there. Even in the admission processes, in a class of 90 students, you will find that over 50 of those admitted are from Anambra, possibly with Imo getting 6 or 7, Enugu, 3 or 4, and Delta 2. Ebonyi is almost always 1 or 2. This same pattern characterizes the members of staff.

The difference is that the Igbos and those in Unijos go about it in a more civil, yet effective manner.

This is nothing peculiar to the Hausas alone, it is man's unkind treatment of mankind. Even as you typed that, you may already have been scheming on how to feed fatter than your other siblings from today's lunch, that is assuming that you still live with your parents as your response implies.

There's a reason why benevolence is such a rarity.

Very intelligent post.
I doff my hat for you sir.

Geniro:
Enough of your UNILAG bragging . That dude is obviously too disrespectful and uncouth to be given a fair hearing. You aren't the only UNILAG alumni here please.

Even in the court of law, you dare not disrespect the judge by questioning his legal antecedents and not expect to be given a vicious reprimand

But the school management no be judge na

500 million for 39 students

Folafikemi:
Are u currently there in Côte d'Ivoire? And when is the next election coming? What does electioneering looks like over there?

Elections were just last year ending now.
And since Ouatarra was incumbent, there was not much trouble.
so, no elections in at least the next 4 years
No worry yourself, looking at things, I doubt there would be crisis again in the short term.

nigerianWAD:
How are you guys coping with the post election violence in that country. I heard some oyinbos are exiting for fear of re-occurrence of violence again in that country called ivory coast. kindly let me know you guys are doing.

cc
Ugosample

The post election violence has been put behind, and the city honestly does not look like a city which suffered from war.
However, there are few scratches here and there, but In general terms, people have moved on, and the city is back

helovesme:
You wailers need to get off this woman's backside and let her breath !!!!

Why all the hate? Is it because she is Yoruba?

She is going nowhere. You guys better get used to it.

Why isn't the absolutely clueless CBN governor not getting the same heat and hate as this woman? Do you people know how many policies Enebeli or whatever he calls himself has come up with and reversed in the last 12 months? All he's been doing is "trial and error".

Buhari is really falling my hand. That CBN guy was GEJ's appointment and he should have been dropped like hot trash the very day Buhari was sworn in as president and replaced. I know he has the executive powers to do this, so I do not understand why he's stalling.

Agreed the wailers and "5%" will cry and scream blue murder if he's removed as he's one of their own. However, ignore them. It was under this same CBN guy that there was allocation and sharing of dollars up and down by GEJ's government with no accountability. That CBN guy has to go ASAP!!!

Replace him with someone sensible/intelligent to work with Kemi Adesoun and sit back and see how things will change for the better.

Madam go siddon

This Kemi is an incompetent woman, simple and short.

crackhouse:
Moral lesson is when u humble urself u will be elevated and honoured. This guy sneaked in and was spotted unexpectedly by nigerians and he's been celebrated due to his simplicity and surprise visit despite being the 7th richest man in the world but that guy Jidena with only savings of $5000 decided to alert nigerians before coming but people have forgotten that he's in Nigeria now. That classic man will be like "O my God if I know this mark will be visiting too I would have postponed my visit, now look at me all alone now, nobody even remembered that I am here"

That logic is flawed o
besides, how do you know Jidenna's savings?

ogawisdom:
Wearing only grey colour is a clear sign he belongs somewhere probably a cultist or sth

Which kind mentality be this?

redcap:
Ugosample was right all along.

LMAOO Wahala has not started in the country yet... e remain small.

everydayperson:
..the key to longevity is open mindedness and a drive to seek improvement of lives of others not using a blog to make millions of naira while employing jihadists to serially BLACKOUT the voices of dissent.. anyway He is here, perhaps the youths and some blog mods will learn something instead of FP'ing nollywood personal lives and babymamas and bikini bods all over the place.

Now before some irritable keyboard baboon pulls out his brackish fingers to hit the self-service button.. read this post again.. is it referring to anyone specifically? enh? enh? who you EEEP!!

GEJ has earned the highest from crude export in the history of this nation.

Only YarAdua years missing from this data

Is this at constant Naira rates?
Because inflation over the decades eroded the value of the Naira; such that 140b in 1960 could have been worth 1tr now.

I am not fooled o

Nasman:
Hate them or love them. It won't add anything to their life. Their Grandpa was the former president of the country, u can't change that. For Abachas, you know in the North have always love you and nothing is gonna change that. Cos you are one of us.

Is this how you people reason up there?

That guy RUINED this country, and this is what you have to say?
