Jobs/VacanciesRe: Life Isn't Fair by wisestman(m): 8:55am On Apr 05, 2017
Life is like a farm land, you are the farmer. Imagine a farmer blaming his farm for the produce he got. what I'm trying to say is that you sow into life what you are and get that back in return and at the same time remove all the weeds as well to get a good harvest. You can never succeed in life because of your good works ( even though they are good), you succeed with only a positive mind that you will be successful no matter what. Back to my illustration, Life is a farmland, you are the farmer and just like a farmer doesn't have control over the rain, sun or storm that beats the farmland he can nly control what the farm produces in other words he can choice to tend to the farm and get what he wants. If you are tired, please get tired of the situation in other to push you ahead to succeed more than all your siblings and become the light in your family. Don't get tired and stop pushing forward. forget the circumstances that may happen, stay focused and keep moving forward no matter what life throws. choose to have a positive mindset that's how everyone that became successful were able to succeed.

Lastly everyone has a story to tell and those stories wont be sweet without these challenges. Just know you are writing your story and it will always end well if you don't give up. you will laugh at the day you had to sleep on empty stomach because there will be so much food at that time for you and your family. No more landlord on your neck because you will have your own house. so keep moving forward no matter what happens, cheers

PropertiesRe: Where Is The Best Place To Live In Lagos If Working In VI by wisestman(m): 12:14pm On Oct 29, 2016
vokolo:
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 grin

PoliticsEXPLOSIVE HISTORY: Who Sold Nigeria To Britain For £865k In 1899? by wisestman(op): 11:33am On Jul 23, 2016
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.
