In China, there are 8 and 16 lanes highway, yet they have traffic congestion.

If one could attribute traffic congestion to bad governance only, such person might die of wailing

Those 8 and 16 lane highways, do they also have huge potholes and craters like Nigerian roads?
Bad road is the major cause of traffic jam in Nigeria.
Who constructs or fixes the bad roads in Nigeria?

SoNature:
Argue and insult all you want, I have made my point abundantly clear.

Most revolutions started as protest, and Sowore made it clear that his was #RevolutionNow.

If you like him so much, go out then and protest for his release ka DSS gba gi ka okwa!

The name you tag your action matters!

Learn and stop arguing unintelligently!

Oh...so you're so intelligent, which is why you support that planned unarmed protests should be outlawed under a democracy

Keep that sort of intelligence to yourself, pls. You can infect your offsprings with it though. That's permissible.
You can't give what you don't have. Intelligence isn't your forte. Sorry.

SoNature:
Please let's call a spade a spade, Sowore tried to ignite a revolution, so Transparency International is so wrong on this one.

If I was Nigerian president, I would definitely treat Sowore the way he's been treated today. You cannot lose an election and try to set my country ablaze under my watch.

It's easy to start a fight, but nobody actually knows when it will end....that's a Yoruba adage.

Sowore should have asked questions before trying to spark a #NigerianSpring. You can only kick off a revolution in a United country not a deeply polarized country like Nigeria. As young people, Sowore's experience must be a lesson to all of us.

However, I firmly believe that the chap can still be granted freedom and tried without having him locked up in DSS cell. Sowore attacked all the political leaders who would have sued for his release through Sahara Reporters. Again, his ordeals offer a learning curve for all.

It is a democracy. Protests and dissents are a basic part and parcel of democracy. You don't mix it with elements of dictatorship.

See the lame excuses you are making for this government, all because Sowore isn't your brother. Pathetic.
Put yourself in his shoes. I may not support his politics, but I recognize when a government has become illegitimate. A legit government won't oppress its subjects like Buhari is doing.

All you willing tools and lower class humans from the south...you guys are so pathetic, I begin to wonder why I'm from among you.

It was right to protest under GEJ, but an abomination to do it with Buhari's government, right?

festacman:
Disobeying court ruling is, no doubt, out of order in a democracy but no legitimate government would tolerate any kind of attempt to uproot it suddenly through Revolution. Every government is wary of Revolution because once it starts, nobody can predict its end result. Even a 'President' Yele Sowore if he had won the last presidential election would not have dealt TAMELY with anybody challenging the existence of his government. Some people who encountered him as a leader of Sahara Reporters Media Organization will attest to his strong character.

The reality is that Revolution is intrinsically undemocratic. It is basically a MOB ACTION against a legitimate government. It recognizes neither the Judiciary nor the Legislature in its bid to forcibly remove the Executive. It dangerously puts MOBOCRACY or ochlocracy above democracy. This is why in developed countries protest marches, sit-ins, and other forms of civil disobedience are more fashionable.

Experience has shown that any person or group of persons who are attempting to remove an established order or a government must first understand the psychology, clout and antecedents of people behind it vis-a-vis how much personal sacrifices to make or discomforts to take if the adventure goes awry. This will help in preparing for the worst while hoping for the best. I had expected Yele Sowore to have done this being an intelligent and analytical fellow.

Regardless, I join other Nigerians in advocating for his release on bail as ruled by court.

A retardëd analysis pulled out from your disease infested anus.

Since when did revolution become undemocratic?

It wasn't undemocratic when in 2014, prominent Nigerians converged at Ojota to protest the inactions and failings of GEJ's government.
Now, under a dictator, it has become undemocratic. Huh.
The government outrightly ignored a court order (not once, not twice) and you're making excuses on its behalf.
How do you excuse one and condemn the other. You actually condemned the one which is right, and whose right was trampled upon.

All you ignorant supporters of this directionless government, time shall come when you will wish mother Earth to hide you from the impeding wrath of a bloodthirsty, brutish government

winterfell007:
U guys are just being unreasonable emotional. We are not the only enthic group doing stuffs. Stop reasoning backward

Pause.....
Believe me, I absolutely understand your point. These bragging usually piss me off too.
But then, I realized the reason behind it:
The rest of Nigeria haven't been fair to we Igbos. We do our best to grow the country in our own little way, but they see us as a threat instead.

These bragging are called coping/defensive mechanism. When you realize that people who oppose you are frustrated when you are happy/boisterous or making little progress for yourself despite their throwing obstacles your way, you do nothing but serve them much bigger doses.

If Nigeria had been supportive of Igbo exploits, these noise from Igbos won't happen in the first place.
So, I don't tell Igbo folks to quit bragging anymore. I just laugh and move on. You shouldn't help others to kill yourself, should you?

It is what it is

People, please pray never to have a bitter soul like Bankulli in your life or career. He has been longing for the downfall of dbanj even though he is not perfect and no one is. You want to know how bitter a soul is? Dbanj lost his son to cold hands of death. No form of compassion from this bitter soul called bankullil! No matter terrible a businessrelationship went wrong, losing one's son or love one should eandear compassion but this one here does not give a Bleep.

Was even happy that thank God a supposedly afrobeat builder like Bankulli is finally getting recognition he deserves but no, he has bitterness in his soul.

Dbanj, I tuale for the kind of head God has given you. Bankulliand his bitter soulmates have gone to do much length to damage and destroy you even from inside your camp while eating and drinking together, even as far as tarnishing your personality to people like Kenya west. But God that has you had kept you strong and stronger all these years. They were happy that Thank most his son to cold death but God restored him barely a year after.

Bankulli as people know him can go to any diabolical means just to bring people down but people like Smade King who happens to be the biggest show promoter in UK knows Bankulli kind of person.

Bankulli, you were his manager and former employee. Things gone wrong betwèen you two and now want to blackmail Dbanj? People, careful with those frenemies that knows so much about you as they can do all to bring you down when things go awry

Carrying other people's issue on yourself as if it is any of your business.
You sound more pained than the actual people concerned

Choosing floor, walls and crack tiles.........

Sincerely, honestly, eziokwuly
When I'm building, this is actually the part that gives me joy: choosing color and design of tiles to be used.
Tiles set the tone of the interior finish and style of the house.
Also, when it gets to this stage, you know that you have conquered about 70% to 80% of the work that needed to be done on the house.

Let me put it this mischievous way:
The stage of tiling is comparable with that point where the lady you have been wooing for a long time pays you a visit, and allows you to gently UnCloth her
At that point, you know you are halfway home...
Which is the reason why going to shop for tiles is the most enjoyable part of my shopping for building materials.
Jisike!

Are you aware that Adamawa is no different? Have you ever been to Adamawa State? Yet Atiku Abubakar is there, amongst many wealthy citizens from that state. You all need to reflect before talking. Reno's lack of thoughtfulness often gets him into dead-end corners and trouble.

I see.
So, it is Reno's exclusive job to criticise EVERY politician in Nigeria?
You mentioned Atiku because he happened to contest the last election under PDP, and Reno happened to have affiliation with same party.
But realize that none of these jobbers have a permanent attachment to any party, or loyalty to anyone.
They go for whatever or whoever that could advance their interest.
Reno is doing the little he can. Nothing stops you and I and others from doing the same.

China that enforced a strict control on the number of kids a couple can have? They did this because their resource could not cater for the outrageous number of people within that space.
Did you know that it is now illegal to have more than 1 child in China?
Now, an abokï is saying the Chinese economy is thriving because of their population

AdeeT:


I've betrayed her trust, I have really hurt her, I wish that I could undo all I've done. But it's too late, and I'm reek of guilt, it's all over me.

I just cheated on a beautiful lady that has stayed with me through thick and thin for years, a wonderful soul that anyone would dream to have. Cheating might be a common thing, but the moment you cheat on a pure soul, an innocent woman that gives you all, WITH HER BEST FRIEND, then it's beyond cheating.

I am charming, good looking working class guy, guys and girls easily comment how good looking I am, my fiancee is so proud of me, and my achievements that she easily shows me off at the slightest opportunity. She attended the same Uni with her friend, and ever since then, they've been a very good friend. They even served at the same place(worked out), to show you how close they her.

Now my fiancee works in the southern Nigeria, we planned to seal things up next year, and live together here in Abuja. Her friend came for a job interview here, and my woman advised that she rather stay with me for the period instead of her spending a lot on hotel accommodations since I live alone in a bedroom flat. I obliged, and she came down here, little did I know that things would get messy. Long story cut short, I fell in to her seduction the second night of her staying after some series of events. We ended up having sex couples of time before she left. I feel terrible now, though she felt nothing, I can't even flow well with my woman on phone again, guilt is all over me. I don't know how I will stand her whenever we meet. Of all girls in the world, she's the least anyone would want to cheat on.

I'm thinking of telling her. Mind you guys, I'm not a weakling, I've never been one. Before I met her some 3 years back, I was on the other end of life. She changed a lot for good for me, and helped stop many bad things, as well as starting several good ones. I don't know what her reaction would be after telling her. Her friend still communicates with her as if nothing happened.

I'm in pain guys. A serious one. I need advices.

Sigh. Nobody, I repeat, nobody gives a shyte about a kid who can't handle the aftermath of his libido. If you ain't mentally old enough to handle your business, shove your deek firmly in your pants and quit grovelling online over a non issue.
You can't unfvck someone you just fvcked. Quit being so pathetic.

I have pleaded with her for a better tomorrow what can i really do.. i AM THINKING OF DIVORCE AFTER THE WEDDING.

Huh. 40 and trapped in the body of a kid.
If she were my sister, I would make sure she doesn't end up with you.

Lawd! How could a 40 year old be this childish??
Where did you leave your balls when you outgrew your teen years?

Pathetic.

Run to your mama and have your diaper changed, kid.
What makes you think a kid like you is ready to get married. I don't give a shyte how old you are. You got the mental capacity of a 13 year old.

Hmmm.

Lesson learned.
Stick to your mother tongue. You can't tell the organizers what should be the criteria, or for them to change their rule just to accommodate a first time entry from Nigeria.

That excuse about English being the official language is watery at best. Promote your culture instead. At worse, use pidgin English. Believe me, Caucasians get intrigued by it. Same like Jamaican patois.

BUSINESSARENAA:
I once said that the closure of these borders is not a properly thought idea, but some ignorant entities were ranting up and down.

Rice is not the only commodity that passes through a border. There are a lot of genuine business that passes through the land border.

If you are importing or exporting to some of the west African countries, it's easier and more cost effective to use the land boarders than the sea port.

Imagine a man exporting textiles to Ghana from Kano, how possibly will he do that through the sea port in APAPA?

I am totally against rice smuggling but the government should have come up with smarter ideas to deal with this issue, and not shutting down the whole boarder.

Presently I have about two trailers of hides and skin from Mali parked at the boarder incurring bills, with high possibility of spoiling within the shortest period of time because of its present condition.

How do I import from Mali to Nigeria through the seaport?

It is only those that does not understand what happens at the land boarders that are jumping up and down.

Once again I reiterate my stance against smuggling rice through the boarders, but we have to be more tactical in handling certain issues as regards to our economy.


This boarder issue in Nigeria is like a fly perching on a man's scrotal sack, you have to apply wisdom in dealing with it, if not you may end up hurting yourself terribly bad if you hit it with great force.

You are talking to Buhari, that thing that has ear problem and doesn't read anything.

Area4Area:
Nigeria is a democratic republic and these laws are in operation for now, what makes you think that Biafrans that are now foreigners and aliens would be exempted?
According to Nigeria's alien land act, only corporate companies can buy land and own properties, no private foreigner can, so private Igbo land and property owners would lose all. MTN, Shell etc are free to have properties in Nigeria because these are foreign corporate companies but no foreign individual can, not even the owner of the company.

Botswana, Ethiopia, Switzerland, Austria etc doing better than Nigeria today have agreements with their neighbours with sea access, what agreement does Biafra have in that regard with Nigeria, none.

Biafran students in Nigerian higher institutions would be made to go get their papers and student's Visa's and must pay twice or thrice what Nigerians pay.

Nigeria could decide to redesign her currency after some months and your naira would no longer be acceptable in Nigeria. Some say you'd print Biafran pounds and it would be at par with the British pound and I laugh, what gold or foreign reserve do you have to back up the value? It would tumble like the Zimbabwean dollar, from 1 Biafran pound to a British pound and in a month's time, 1 million Biafran pounds to a British pound. It's no rocket science.

Remember you are surrounded by Nigeria.

So Biafra needs Nigeria for actualization because we don't have any referendum nor secession clause in the constitution and needs Nigeria for the sustainance of Biafra's independence.

As I said earlier, you nor other Igbos don't feel the feel the effect of the laws, become a foreigner and you'd understand.

Very funny

All these analysis of yours, based on the assumption that once the SE secedes and becomes a sovereign nation, other regions such as SW, SS and the middle belt will remain in this entity called Nigeria?
You make me laugh.
See, once the SE leaves, other regions will fall over themselves to beat the record of what region is second to leave.
You actually believe Yorubas will remain in a Nigeria that Igbos are not a part of? You believe the SS will stay within same Nigeria? Hehehehe. Pure hallucination.
The middlebelt detests the north as much as other regions do. In fact, most part of the middlebelt will vote to join the south, when push comes to shove.

Next, watch as Hausas and other ethnic group in the north would tell Fulanis to look for their own land to keep their cows.

The only reason Nigeria is still here is because one major ethnic group hasn't left. Once that happens, no other ethnic group would want to have anything to do with an entity called Nigeria.
To believe that Nigeria could exist post Biafra is the imagination of a diseased mind

nototribalist:
The media houses need to stop all these propaganda news they're dishing out every day.

Why should Benin republic import everything from their port and make money on our behalf. How can a small country import more bags of rice than their population.

Even though I don't like Buhari, but this border closure has exposed so many people like people who import Palm oil, vegetable oil, Rice, stock fish, cloths, salt, tomato paste, and frozen chicken.

It's game over for Benin republic, cos they've been cheating us for decades now.

It's also game over for Ghanaians who comes to Nigeria to buy products that are subsidized with our Dollar, and they still have the audacity to be locking Nigerian shops for years.

I even thought that Ghanaians travels to Asia and Europe to buy products, I didn't know they're squeezing products out of Nigeria. I was watching their TV news as Ghanaian traders were interviewed on how it's affecting their business.

One extension hair seller said she's in trouble cos she has ran out of stock and customers are complaining cos Xmas is around the corner.

The other one said he went to Ladipo to buy motor spare parts but he couldn't carry the goods out of Nigeria. So they depends on Nigerian goods but they're the ones who hate Nigeria the most in West Africa.

That border will remain closed till 2050. Period

See the bolded?
No, Benin Republic didn't cheat Nigeria
Nigeria cheated itself.

In it's bid to subjugate the SE and SS, the country decided to make Lagos port the only functional one, rather than expanding the capacity of other ports in the south.
Ok, so far, so good. But common sense should let the same govt realize that it needs to upgrade Lagos port to cope with the huge demands of a country with population of over 180m. The govt didn't.
Check out the Oshodi-Apapa "expressway" that feeds the port.
Importers and exporters alike accrue demurrage through no fault of theirs. The roads are deathtraps.
Once people realized that they can do business faster and cheaper through Benin republic port, they switched over to it.

Remember, nature does not tolerate a vacuum. Nigeria govt fvcked up, and Benin govt stepped up.
After closing the borders without developing it's own ports, the country will get worse than it already is.
It is simple logic.

Same old stories, of what use is this information now, will it make them accountable or make us do what exactly Rubbish news

Hmmm
Think about it this way:

When FG tells you they are working on providing 24 hrs electricity for you, just remember that they themselves don't believe it.
Which is why they have budgeted over N45m to fuel their generators.
Why should government bother if you're in darkness, since our commonwealth is providing them with fuel to keep their generators running?

Bottom line: the info is to let you know that you don't have a government. If you don't care about this, then you shouldn't complain if things continue to be the way they are.

Huh.

Your neighbors have done 3/4 of the job, leaving you with just 1/4.
Some people have all the luck. Yet you're agonizing over costs here

I know money could be an issue, and we all don't have same resources. But if I were in your position, I wouldn't bother with estimates at this fortunate stage. Yes, fortunate because, most of the cost of fencing has been taken off from your shoulders by your neighbors who had fenced theirs.

If all you can afford for now is say, 3 trips of sand and a couple dozen bags of cement, then do so. Mould the amount of blocks you can afford. Except you plan on buying blocks.
Get a skilled mason and agree on how much the job will cost.
Next, break the job into 3 stages of payment as you can afford.
Since there is no hurry/deadline, do it at your pace and don't stress.
I'm putting it this way because I perceive you stress over small details. Divide the job and payment into about 3 stages, something like:

Stage 1: foundation digging, blinding and laying of blocks up to 4 or 5 courses.
Stage 2: raising the fence up to the full height.
Stage 3: making the pillar and mounting the gate.

That way, you don't strain your resources and yourself. When you do it as pay-as-you-go in manageable installments, you won't feel the pinch....and your blood pressure will be fine

Get out of here dude!

You are hostile to others....how do you expect them to bring investment to you?

Fix that fundamental first, build bridges...and the traffic will come.

Lame argument.
Hausas and Fulanis in the north are not hostile, abi? They treat Southerners well, which is why mostly Igbos invest up north.

After the pogroms that preceded the civil war, after the civil war itself, after the countless times Southerners on the north have been attacked and killed due to religious riots. Add boko haram to the mix.
After all these, Igbos still dared to do business in the north, and even invest in properties there. Was it because northerners showed them love, were non hostile, and "built bridges" according to your analysis?

This old man, abeg shift. You no get yarns. Can you compare the killings of Southerners in the north with how northerners have been treated in SE Nigeria since this country began to exist?
Would you dare say that abokis wouldn't invest in the south because they were not showed love?

Sorry o, this is an old thread. I came across it again this boring Sunday. Come n give a reasonable response as to how Igbos have been killing northerners in the SE, which made our northern neighbors shy away from investing there.

Royal Air Maroc is the national carrier of Morocco and the aircraft arrived from Rabat when the incident happened.

Up there, ladies and gentlemen, is the entire report. Absolutely nothing to be learned about the how, who, why or what concerning the incident

spyder880:
The text I posted below was sent to my WhatsApp number by those who know me as a land investor. They were marketing lands to me in Ugwuomu Nike, but they didn't know we have already taken position a few years back and awaiting the appreciation. It's good to have foresight.


"The Catholic diocese has bought acres of land at Ugwuomu Emene Nike where the Godfrey Okoye University Permanent site will be. As I am talking to you now, structures like faculty blocks, admin blocks, library, staff quarters have been built, roads leading to the school has been tarred and work is currently going on there immensely.

*My friend who's a Surveyor who surveyed a layout in that Ugwuomu, (which share the same boundary/fence with the Godfrey Okoye University permanent site) have some plots allocated to him in lieu of payment and he's selling some plots currently.
I will advice someone who has money and wants to invest it, to quickly purchase some plots of Land there now that is very cheap, perfect the title and probably fence the plots and wait and see how the value of that land will appreciate rapidly.

Once the University starts, a plot there will be sold at #3m or more, and building of hostels there will be another better idea.
Sooner or later, all the students from Godfrey Okoye University thinkers corner will be moving in to the permanent site... As soon as all the structures and road constructions in the permanent site are completed (which are on doing now)
I wish to inform you that there are some plots there for sale, the owner (surveyor) just informed us two days ago.
If you have money or know someone who wants to invest in land, let the person come and buy now before the cost increases
The cost of one plot of land is #900,000

Lifting of one plot is #160,000 (which is a uniform price in all Enugu)

Traditional rites (ewu ani) is #50,000

Legal drafting of Irrevocable power of attorney and deed of lease for one plot is #60,000

"Ogba na echi agu" is #50,000

Agency fee is #90,000

*Total = #1,310,000*

*BUY THE LAND NOW AND THANK ME LATER*

*People are really rushing the lands now, it is a newly designed layout... "Blue Lake Layout"*"

Copied from my WhatsApp messages.

Its a good development...
However, private universities usually don't bring about rapid real estate development like public universities do.
If you own a private university, it would be foolishness not to build adequate student hostels within the campus and make the rent a part of the tuition. Private universities make it a point to capitalize on this, because accommodation is one of the sources of their income. Would be foolhardy to let students live off campus for owners of private universities.

If Godwin Okoye university at Ugwuomu Nike had been a public university, you can't get a plot around there for 3M by now.

That notwithstanding, there's bound to be some appreciable level of development in that area from the tarred roads and increased activity.
