See the way gbawe or what is he called cleverly avoided the question directed at him. A confirmed first class liar and hypocrite.

Just wondering what Soyinka is doing in the midst of those hypocrites. Smh

Education is now a misplaced priority? You guys are just too pathetic. If education is now a 'misplaced priority' why don't you guys try ignorance.

Never knew some people went to school to become more daft

And so what? Is explosion a new thing? Thought it was an earthquake or something more serious. Mtcheeewww!

Arosa: There are lots of opportunities in Nigeria I agree, but they require large capital to make a decent living from them. My question is would the Nigerian banks give out loans to our graduates with their degree as collateral? If yes then how much would they get for their degree? 1 million naira?

i agree with you to some extent but the fact remains that most nigerian youths have what i call misplaced priorities. They would rather go for the latest BB phones and other vain things rather than make their money work for them for the betterment of their future.

Another dumb post. Let our youths stop looking for non existent white collar jobs and be more creative. Opportunities abound in Nigeria for those that are ready to work. The problem is that most of us want the easy way out and thereby neglecting the ever present opportunities around us

At last God don catch fr. Edeh. Tis long overdue

KINGwax: you don't wanna knw how glad i was when i found out nobody liked your post. It implies we actually have intelligent people on nairaland. Only a fool will like your post. I don't knw, how they forced a muslim student to attend a 'strictly' christian school. Your concern is what i cannot fathom, your points too.

The guy said the obvious fact. Just imagine flogging an adult just because he came to learn in a private university

You dey mind the fool?

The most annoying aspect is that most of this critics have not even visited Anambra before. All they do all day is to propagate evil and being lazy arm chair critics, just ask them to proffer a solution to a particular problem, they'll just go blank. They never ever take responsibility for anything but rather look for who to blame. They never want to believe that apart from a certain part of the country which enjoys media patronage and goodwill, other thriving and better places exist. It is becoming so unbearable to watch ur fellow nigerians wallow so much in their ignorance.

ypzilanti: This is what happens when you vote a man you would not hire to run your generator as the man to run your country.

We are praying for you Mr. President. We know only prayers can save us now.

Go and explain yourself to the national assembly and stop wasting everyone's time. You are not the king of Nigeria. You are the President.

You have a right to refuse to speak when you get there and exercise your right to remain silent. It will make you look stupid to do that.. sha, oh. But as I have read it, the assembly do have the right to call you to a chat, Sir.

Goodluck running the country. No pun intended.

ignorance is bliss

bayooooooo: The above quote is where the NASS derives the power to summon "any person", let's look at "any person":

What happens if "any person" in this above quote for House of Representative is the Senate President or vice versa? Can Tambuwal(House of Reps) order David Mark to appear before him? Is it enforceable? That "any person" even when interpreted loosely is still not applicable to everyone in Nigeria. The supreme court will have to interpret if that "any person" can be applied to the office of president.

It's my opinion that GEJ is not duty bound to appear and can not be compelled to appear before NASS. NASS also does not have the means of enforcing such a resolution. Can they also order CJN to appear? Shunning such an invitation more so when it does not have any precedent can not amount to impeachable offence. SO on technicality of law, GEJ is not duty bound to appear.


I made the above contribution in a similar thread. The only addition I have now is to appreciate the fact that GEJ is taking the right step. Civil litigation in a democracy especially in a renascent one as ours can only help give true meaning to the boundary or limits of powers of each arm of government. There is a reason why we have Supreme Court and is in part to adjudicate on matters of this nature. Let supreme court decides if any person, in this case, is truly the same as everyone.

This one na technical knock out but you for wait small make kobojunkie entertain us more with her sheer ignorance.

Constructive argument unlike the rubbish we always hear from that clown that calls himself a political pastor.

honeric01: Learn to stop jumping the gun, if you want to join a discussion, try knowing the genesis.
Thank you.

Oh you're still here with this ur gala analogy. Now i understand why you're jobless. Stupi.d boy

Yeske!:
He missed the memo no doubt, you actually forgot to remind him of Electro-mart(one of largest if not the largest electronics market in West Africa, Relief mkt, Oba electrical mkt, Building material mkt at Ogbinike, Drug mkt(Ogbo ogwu, largest drug market in West Africa) etc. Not forgetting that Onitsha is a transportation hub/terminal.

you dey mind that clown. Still can't fathom out why some believe that everything starts and ends in lagos. Anyway, he is a typical local champion

honeric01: Nope, advise me.. which single market in Onitsha is busier than Alaba. (for educational purpose)

tis so tempting to give up on ur case but i will not. Bro, travel and see

honeric01: I love reality while you live in fantasy word..

i broke down how much people make from hawking, you are here wasting time deceiving yourself.. how much do you want to save from 1k? tell me how to spend 1k profit in a day so as to be able to save enough to set up your own supplying unit.

Ur case is pathetic. Take a look at an average igbo man that started with nothing but sheer determination and tell me where he is today

speedyboi: Bt the reason is obvious. It is a scanty state, so why should unemployment be high again? When almost half of their citizens are in other region, and nobody from other regions are settling there.

Your level of ignorance is unquantifiable

honeric01: Yes, profit that cant sustain you? one thing is to make profits you spend in a day which i see as survival and not employment and another is to eat, feed, doing everything from it and have enough to save which i see as employment.

Now looking at the above statement, would you call a gala/water hawker as an employed youth?

Sorry o but are you this daft? I said 'if you know ur way'. So if you start as a hawker you would save, expand and move on to the next level? Don't you think an ambitious and determined hawker would also want to be a supplier too? Guy, wake up there are days of little beginnings. If I may ask how old are you self?

Lordave: I was there when my dad droped £15k as ma mum's bride price. Dat was B4 the war.

lol... And you'll clock 20 this year

honeric01: I started with Gala, touch? you can't even see well again..

I am not saying selling gala or pour water is bad, what i am saying is that selling these things does not equate employment, MOST OF THE PEOPLE DOING THESE DO IT AS A LAST RESORT, not because it's worth it.

My guy, any business that brings you profit is worth it if you know ur way

honeric01: You can keep insulting me because of the truth, but that wont change anything.. stop assuming for every Anambran man.. unemployment is a Nigerian problem, not an Igbo problem so stop this "victim" tone you are resorting to.

He spreads his tentacles? how many of them do you know with multiple incomes? tell me, why would i want to sell gala or pure water in the sun/rain when i have multiple streams of income? apart from the stress, what about the dangers of running after moving vehicles in the middle of the highway? would someone making better money in a safer/healthier environment think of hawking gala/water in traffic?

Please think and stop being emotionally sentimental, you're not a woman.

Stop being childish. Are you not the one that started with ur gala and tourch light analogy in order to demean an average gala seller in anambra state? See, what you failed to fathom out is that any person with the ambition and determination to make it coupled with consistency will definitely move up the social ladder. If you have any business acumen, then, you'll understand that no business is negligible and there are opportunities everywhere. Moreso, whether they start with running after cars or freelancing, always remember there is always a starting point and never despise ur days of little beginning.

honeric01: You are talking about sales of cars, how often do they sell cars? in a month, they are likely not going to sell a car and when they do, maybe they get like 2k-10k.

Remember we are talking about Anambra here not Lagos. so tell me, you mean Anambra market is that lively? how many traffic can you count on in Anambra?

What i know is that every Igbo man is industrious, they rather earn 500 per day than earn nothing, but DO NOT EQUATE THAT TO EMPLOYMENT because that is NOT EMPLOYMENT. it's not even underemployment, this is hustling, surviving and not employment/underemployment or overemployment.

my dear, stop being foolish if there no buyers and they are not making profit, i don't think you'll see those guys there and the business would have collapsed.
Secondly, you are asking whether Anambra market is 'lively'? Fyi, Anambra has the biggest market in West African

honeric01: LOL 2,000 naira a day from gala? that's 200 piece, now tell me where do they make 200 sales per day? only Lagos can boast of 100 sales of gala in traffic on an average day. some days with no hold on, you won't even sell up to 20. you better wake up and stop pulling out stats from the thin air.

guy, it seems ur mentality is too low. We are talking about an average Anambrarian here who in all ramifications is industrious and is ever ready for competition business wise. Do you think he/she will relax without setting up other selling points with his savings? There is where the ingenuity of an average igbo man comes into play; he spreads his tentacles and employs other people and at the end of each day, with multiple streams of income you'll be in the best position to tell me how much he would be making

Mr. Globe:
and the truth is that anambra people are naturally enterprising and Peter obi is taking advantage of their little dependence on govt to loot the state dry. Anambra people take the credit here even though the minister is not objective here. is he counting a graduate that went into business because of no jobs as employment and what is the quality of these employment

are you saying a graduate must work for somebody to be properly employed? How about being an employer of labour

honeric01: How much do you think a gala hawker makes in a day? their profit on each gala is 10 naira and they can only sell between 50-200 pieces in a very thick bumper to bumper hold on.. when there's no hold-up, no sales so tell me, how much is he going to make on an average day?

Same with freelance referrer.. they get 50 naira,100 naira as tip, but how often do they get these? and how much do you think they make in a day? you believe this is employment?

OMG!! Are you this stupid? Don't you have any business sense at all? So, according to you the profit from gala is so small (10 each) and the business is not worth it? Have you pondered why the company is still in serious production and declaring billions as profit after tax? Do you think an average Anambrarian would just relax selling in traffics all by himself without expanding his business? Even with ur calculation of him making 2000 a day, with many selling points you can easily deduce how much he will making in a day then come back and tell me how much a civil servant that is 'employed' is equally making at the end of the month

honeric01: A gala hawker is also employed?

a freelancer he's got no other job but to pose as a merchant in various markets so as to refer you to the real merchants in order to get a tip from you is also employed right?

What is employment?

This exposes the stupi.dity that runs in ur dna. So you expect an Anambrarian to sit back, be a beggar or still, be a nuisance to the society? Fyi, an average Anambrarian would rather see opportunities that abound rather than be a liability like you and ur ilk. An average so called gala seller knows that people would eat and provides that services for a fee and that makes him financially independent. The so called 'freelancer acts as a middle man for services or goods people need and can in one swoop make some cool money you and ur family can't dream of making in ur life time. So you get it! Pls next time give respect to whom respect is due cos the 'never say never' spirit of an average Anambrarian is unrivalled at least in Nigeria

With all the teachings of Jesus Christ, I'm so ashamed that bakare is even a christian and a so called pastor for that matter.

You mean the speaker?

Come op, respect urself. So na because of kuli kuli and onions na im we go carry amnesty give them? With all the innocent blood of nigerians they have shed i think they and their sponsors need 'dronesty'.

@Op, just wondering who ur real father is. Bastar.d
