Guys,
I am relocating my family to Lagos and i would like to live in a part of Lagos that wouldn't stress me so much in getting to and fro VI due to work. I am equally considering a budget of not more than 250k a year and i am hoping this can fetch me a 2bedroom apartment.

Your candid advice on which part of Lagos i should base my search on considering transportation stress and my budget would be well appreciated.

Thank you.

Don't worry abt all those ppl with their doomsday prophesy. Lagos is not that stressful if u hav ur own car but if u don't, no worry just keep moving forward. 250k can get u a place in awoyaya n environs, 300k - 400k will get u a place in badore, langbasa or okeira, all in ajah which is closer to VI. U can only get for 250k for 2 bedroom inside Ira-nla which is inside okeira there in ajah. Its just that d road is terrible cos I once lived there. So its ur choice, u can start from there. All in all, I prefer life on d island than d mainland. All ppl that usually complain normally stay on d mainland. Come to where sane people stay ISLAND

can it go for 450k? serious buyer......

Today we will be discussing the first oil war, which was fought in the 19th century, in the area that became Nigeria.
All through the 19th century, palm oil was highly sought-after by the British, for use as an industrial lubricant for machinery. Remember that Britain was the world’s first industrialised nation, so they needed resources such as palm oil to maintain that.
Palm oil of course, is a tropical plant, which is native to the Niger Delta. Malaysia’s dominance came a century later.

By 1870, palm oil had replaced slaves as the main export of the Niger Delta, the area which was once known as the Slave Coast. At first, most of the trade in the oil palm was uncoordinated, with natives selling to those who gave them the best deals. Native chiefs such as former slave, Jaja of Opobo became immensely wealthy because of oil palm. With wealth comes influence.

However, among the Europeans, there was competition for who would get preferential access to the lucrative oil palm trade. In 1879, George Goldie (1846 – 1925, pictured above) formed the United African Company, which was modeled on the former East India Company. Goldie effectively took control of the Lower Niger River. By 1884, his company had 30 trading posts along the Lower Niger. This monopoly gave the British a strong hand against the French and Germans in the 1884 Berlin Conference. The British got the area that the UAC operated in, included in their sphere of influence after the Berlin Conference.

When the Brits got the terms they wanted from other Europeans, they began to deal with the African chiefs. Within two years of 1886, Goldie had signed treaties with tribal chiefs along the Benue and Niger Rivers whilst also penetrating inland. This move inland was against the spirit of verbal agreements that had been made to restrict the organisation’s activities to coastal regions.

By 1886, the company name changed to “The National Africa Company” and was granted a royal charter (incorporated). The charter authorized the company to administer the Niger Delta and all lands around the banks of the Benue and Niger Rivers. Soon after, the company was again renamed. The new name was “Royal Niger Company”, which survives, as Unilever, till this day.

To local chiefs, the Royal Niger Company negotiators had pledged free trade in the region. Behind, they entered private contracts on their terms. Because the (deceitful) private contracts were often written in English and signed by the local chiefs, the British government enforced them. So for example, Jaja of Opobo, when he tried to export palm oil on his own, was forced into exile for “obstructing commerce”. As an aside, Jaja was “forgiven” in 1891 and allowed to return home, but he died on the way back, poisoned with a cup of tea.

Seeing what happened to Jaja, some other native rulers began to look more closely at the deals they were getting from the Royal Nigeria Company. One of such kingdoms was Nembe, whose king, Koko Mingi VIII, ascended the throne in 1889 after being a Christian schoolteacher. Koko Mingi VIII, King Koko for short, and like most rulers in the yard, was faced with the Royal Nigeria Company encroachment. He also resented the monopoly enjoyed by the Royal Nigeria Company, and tried to seek out favourable trading terms, with particularly the Germans in Kamerun.

By 1894 the Royal Nigeria Company increasingly dictated whom the natives could trade with, and denied them direct access to their former markets.

In late 1894, King Koko renounced Christianity, and tried to form an alliance with Bonny and Okpoma against the Royal Nigeria Company to take back the trade. This is significant because while Okpoma joined up, Bonny refused. A harbinger of the successful “divide and rule” tactic.

On 29 January 1895, King Koko led an attack on the Royal Niger Company’s headquarters, which was in Akassa in today’s Bayelsa state. The pre-dawn raid had more than a thousand men involved. King Koko’s attack succeeded in capturing the base. Losing 40 of his men, King Koko captured 60 white men as hostages, as well as a lot of goods, ammunition and a Maxim gun. Koko then attempted to negotiate a release of the hostages in exchange for being allowed to choose his trading partners. The British refused to negotiate with Koko, and he had forty of the hostages killed. A British report claimed that the Nembe people ate them. On 20 February 1895, Britain’s Royal Navy, under Admiral Beford attacked Brass, and burned it to the ground. Many Nembe people died and smallpox finished off a lot of others.

By April 1895, business had returned to “normal”, normal being the conditions that the British wanted, and King Koko was on the run. Brass was fined £500 by the British, £26,825 in today’s money, and the looted weapons were returned as well as the surviving prisoners. After a British Parliamentary Commission sat, King Koko was offered terms of settlement by the British, which he rejected and disappeared. The British promptly declared him an outlaw and offered a reward of £200 (£10,730 today) for him. He committed suicide in exile in 1898.

About that time, another “recalcitrant King”, the Oba of Benin, was run out of town. The pacification of the Lower Niger was well and truly under way.

The immediate effect of the Brass Oil War was that public opinion in Britain turned against the Royal Nigeria Company, so its charter was revoked in 1899. Following the revoking of its charter, the Royal Niger Company sold its holdings to the British government for £865,000 (£46,407,250 today). That amount, £46,407,250 (NGN17,552,955,260.79 at today’s exchange rate) was effectively the price Britain paid, to buy the territory which was to become known as Nigeria.

The quantum of electricity generated in the country fell by over 1,000 megawatts within a space of eight hours on Tuesday.

The Transmission Company of Nigeria stated that the generated electricity dropped by 1,018.5MW between 6am and 3pm.

Data from the System Operator showed that the country generated 2,418.5MW of electricity as of 6am. But in a statement by the TCN around 3pm, the firm noted that the total power generation had dropped to 1,400MW.

The Assistant General Manager, Public Affairs, TCN, Mr. Clement Ezeolisah, said in the statement, “The management of the System Operation/Market Operation of the Transmission Company of Nigeria has alerted that electricity generation into the national grid has dropped to 1,400MW as of Tuesday, 17th of May, 2016.

“The downward trend of electricity generation is due to constraints in the thermal power stations, which have prevented the generators from producing at optimal levels. However, it is noteworthy to report that all stakeholders are working assiduously to achieve improvement in the power supply deliverables. The attendant inconvenience as a result of low power generation is regretted.”

Additional data from the SO, which were obtained by our correspondent in Abuja, showed that the country recorded a peak generation of 2,868.3MW the previous day, while the lowest generation was 2,166.1MW.

The national peak forecast was put at 17,520MW, while the total installed and available capacities for the country were 11,165.4MW and 7,139.6MW, respectively.

Officials of the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing attributed the constraints faced by thermal power generating plants to the persistent poor supply of gas to fire up the gas turbines, stressing that the vandalisation of pipelines in recent times had massively hit the sector negatively

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo give insight into President Muhammadu Buhari’s stand on increase in the pump price of petrol yesterday.
Osinbajo said as one who had always kicked against hike in the price of petrol, his boss had no choice but to succumb to the increment last week. The vice president said it was the hardest decision Buhari had to make.
Osinbajo laid this bare at the public presentation of Anatomy of Corruption in Nigeria: Issues, Challenges & Solutions, a collection of essays edited by Yusuf O. Ali, (SAN) yesterday.
He gave reasons for t he increment inadequate foreign currency and that even if all four refineries in the country worked at optimal levels, they would only be able to meet 40 per cent domestic consumption.
“If there is one person in Nigeria who believes that petroleum prices should not go up by one naira, it is President Buhari.”

Osinbajo reiterated that the president simply had no other option than agree to the increase and added that although Buhari did not want the fuel price to go up, “he was left with no choice. What can we do if we don’t have foreign currency, we have to import fuel?”
The vice president also gave reasons why importation of fuel will not abate soon.
“Even if we repair our refineries today, we would still be able to refine 40 percent of our petroleum, so, we still need to import. In the absence of foreign exchange and you have to import your refined petroleum, what are you left with? A lot of the problems associated with the refineries are corruption related,” he said. He noted that corruption “explains why many states are owing salaries and continue to owe salaries.”

Stressing the consequences of corruption, Buhari’s deputy said: “When you consider that today, Nigeria’s reserves stands at about $27 billion and we are investigating $15 billion from one sector alone, that is over half of the entire reserves of the country. We are investigating cases which shows that over $15 billion was lost in one type of contract alone. We are not talking of oil contracts, we are talking of security related contracts alone. We have not talked at all about oil contracts involving several billions.”
Meanwhile, a faction of the NLC, led by the Federal Government last night recorded a milestone as it reached an agreement with the Comrade Joe Ajaero-led faction of NLC not to go on strike but, instead, set up a joint committee to resolve the issues.
Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole who presented the agreement said the committee would work out a framework for the review of the national minimum wage.

Other highlights were for the committee to come out with modalities on how labour would be part of the implementation of the N500 billion social investment fund appropriated in the 2016 budget; and the reconstitution of the PPPRA board as well as review of the current N145 pump price of petrol.
He said the committee that would be chaired by a nominee of the Federal Government has two weeks to submit its report and added that the report would be deliberated by what he called a Committee of the Whole before making recommendations to government.
Ajaero confirmed what Oshiomhole read out as “the summary of the agreement.”

Regardless, Borno State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has indicated its resolve to join the nationwide strike slated for today by the national body of the union and it’s affliates. NLC state chairman, Comrade Ali Abana said the state chapter aligned with its national body in observing the strike.
