The problem with you Afonja is you people are innately devoid of basic human conscience. You all relish to rave about One Nigeria but if we were to reverse socioeconomic landscape of this country, move all the ports in Lagos to SS and SE, shut down Muritala International Airport in Lagos, instead have you Yorubas fly to SE and SS...Enugu, Port Harcourt, Asaba, Calabar or Uyo to fly in and out of the country, will you still shout One Nigeria? Why are you people like this?

Guy take it easy. Life is too short for you to curtail this misery in your mind. Free your mind and have a nice weekend.

The only reasonable Afonja so far so good without amala and ewedu in his brain

At least u mentioned afonja . Amala and Ewedu is good for the brain, Infact Google the significance of this meal and thank me later

repogirl:
Osinbajo, please reverse this stupid decision. It makes absolutely no sense! It is an inconvenience to people travelling to and from Abuja. You expect me to travel two and a half hours by road to take a one hour thirty minutes flight to where ever? That's three and a half hours plus airline delays, which could be another two hours or more? Why shouldn't I just take the bus in that case?

I definitely can't take a morning flight, so to meet a morning appointment in another state,I will have to stay overnight in Kaduna so as to get to the airport early. Or leave Abuja by 4.30 am to get to the airport by 7am which is crazy.

Then I also can't come in with a late flight because it would be too late to travel by road, so I have to sleep over in KD before getting back to Abuja the next day. So I have to add hotel accommodation to my flight budget.

This is very insensitive to people. Foreign airlines are already refunding passengers who plan to travel from March 8.

There has to be another way to do this without closing down an international airport in a Nation's capital city.

So what alternative would you suggest for the government? The alternative could have been having another airport in the city but that is not the case for Nigeria. In developed countries, you can have 3 airports in a city. Look at New York for example, it has 3 international airports ( John F kennedy, La Guardia and Newark).

This is the only alternative dear. Sorry about that.

Having worked in the upstream sector the French IoC I can tell you that the headquarters of these companies are never coming back to the Niger Delta.

In fact they are moving more towards deep offshore assets that are all operated from Lagos. More than 800kbpd is currently operated from Lagos. With bonga SW and Egina coming we are looking at 1.3 or more barrels.

There will soon be more oil operated from Lagos than the Niger Delta. This is for obvious reasons, the IOCs have analyzed the situation and seen that militancy is more than a struggle it is now business and they are tired. TOTAL office next to Eko Hotel is there for all to see. The staff are free, happy and feel at home. They even know chilling spots pass you.

When I went to the trans amadi office l, it was like a prison. I kid you not, There are three high gates manned by a whole garrison. They couldn't go out freely, in fact the fishing team had their bus shot at the same day.

IoC try as hard not to post expatriates to PH, because it like a death sentence. In short they are tired, that's why you see them selling onshore assets to local E and P while moving to a more secure offshore location not even minding the heavy development cost.

So locating headquarters in the Niger delta is ship that has sailed past.

Even though I am not in the oil sector, I can beckon that your statement is 100 percent true.

Emassive:
It's not a law PYO. Why are you trying to score political point by saying what they will never listen to

My brother, Na so we see am oo. One can't force private owned individuals how to run their business. Seriously this step can't work. It's just a plight to score cheap political pull. Make we dey watch.

Afterall AGIP now (Enigma abi wetin sef) are about to finish their HQ @ VI and other IOC expanding their admin offices in lagos, most especially @ the ongoing Eko atlantic, smart and Ibeju lekki cities.

jahrule:
Oil companies are private ventures and as such the Owners site the head office where ever they feel is suitable for the purpose. Government has little or no power over this issue.

Another thing to consider in location choice of companies is funding, Oil companies would like to have their head office where they could easily contact Banks for funding projects.

Security situation in Niger-delta region is too volatile and no reasonable investors would site Its head office in such region.

Likely defence these companies would put up are the following:
1. Major Investments of these companies are in deep offshore which falls under federal government claims and no state can claim(Oil companies workers can throw more light to this)
2. Security situation would make them to maintain a skeletal offices in ND
3. Government has no right to tell them where to site their offices as non-governmental organizations.

But let`s see what happens.

U spoke my mind. Nice analysis but some people will think u are speaking from an envious mind.

Amarabae:
SOMETIMES,no!I will just buy a takeaway from a fastfood. A standard one like crunchies,mr biggs, not all this mamaput.

That means u are a big girl , unlike someone like me who economise to spend @ mama put let alone a fastfood

U know those kind of meal - 3 wraps of Eba with one tiny meat.

Amarabae:
For unmarried people, Eating outside is more economical than home cooking if we look at it that angle.
I eat outside when I am at work mainly during afternoon.

Yes but health wise, you still have to give it to home cooking. Working class people whether single or married most times eat outside during the week and do home cooking during the weekend.

But come oh! Do u cook early morning before going to work?

ritababe:
will you sponsor them?

Yes

When will the past winners of miss nairalander contend for international competition?

kennygee:
My dear, make them bash me pass like that.

I done talk my own.

To be honest, the babe no convey her message well. She said it as if she is a hungry lady. Saying it diplomatically would have saved her from the insults, same as you. Between some of the guys quoting you are not broke as they are just airing their view, though in a ridiculous way. Well u don talk own sha

Nixiepie:
one bottle of vodka for u joor, see em broke lads fuming everywhere

One day these broke lads will become rich dudes and these same set of hungry ladies bashing them now will be seeking for their attention desperately.

Nixiepie:
one bottle of vodka for u joor, see em broke lads fuming everywhere

One day these broke lads will become rich dudes and these same set of hungry ladies bashing them now will be seeking for their attention desperately when that time comes.

Guys, take it easy with kennygee (the bashing, insult and e-murder no be here oo ) She is entitled to her opinion and what she meant with the comment she made is her business, her life.

DuchessBlue:
She's damn right

Ladies should stop chasing/fall for men who are way higher than them. Both male and female should cut their coats according to their affordability.

It's a big shame you are same feathers as the lady in question. Nonsense

Cockroach get sense pass some useless ladies. Well that's one of the attributes of hungry ladies, so am not surprised

Hmmmm short of words. Perhaps I can only say miscreants are hoarding dollars expecting it to depreciate for their personal gain. Sometimes I regret being a Nigerian

Advising people to buy and hoard dollars so that they can sell to gain immensely is not different from what our legislooters are doing. I don't blame the OP though, afterall instead of making forex available for manufacturers and Business people, FG/CBN/Bank officials could only reason subsiding the dollars for school fees abroad at this particular period of the year when such activities are minimal.

gimakon:
Oga, calm down. I smell your anger and hatred from here.
See Lemme clear you, no be everything u go talk back at. I used to be like this before. But I learnt that different people, different opinions. Its a forum, people must talk like say Na hypo them drink.

Ibos no hate una. Even Hausa men, real Hausa men who are learned would tell you this. The only thing we know and are guilty of is the way we go about money, others, ibo no get time.

Hating won't take you anywhere sha, free mind small. This world go soon end.

Sure bro. I have quite number of good igbo friends

gimakon:
Yorubas always show hate for ibos, when the real enemies, at mosques, roadside, business, etc are not the ibos, yet you fall sheepishly to pranks played simply because you seek favour from the Hausa men

If you see a yoruba man praise ibo, you become angry, truth is, some of una eye don day open small small.

As for many touts on Nairaland, well I no surprise sha, hatred won't take you anywhere if the ibos hated you guys, we won't live in your houses, we won't do business with you. Anger and rage for the ibos, while Fulani herdsmen won't hesitate to kill you all when they have the chance.

As very learned as the Yorubas are, yet very disappointing. I sorry for most of una. The very day you yorubas would realise ibos are not your enemies, I hope it won't be late by then.

Igbo ndi oma! Daalu nu!

Nobody is angry with this development that will help the country grow to some extent. It is you people cooking nonsense about us not accepting this giant step

zionmade:
Some of our educated wole wole wole Oshodi, cele brownroofed brodas will not like dis. Starting with d one above me.
Come and watch how they flood here with pictures of ibadan, abeokuta, lagos and d rest

Just look at this shameless gorilla.

Sanchez01:
This is absolute rubbish! Indigenous or not, every company must brace for competition. It is the best way of staying afloat. If at this stage, Innoson is scared of healthy competitions then it only implies it is not ready to succeed in the auto world as far as Nigeria is concerned.

First off, I have been observing the trend of the brand for over a year now and I am not surprised that the brand is yet to break even. How can it when the target audience are the wealthy and highly placed folks in the society who pose with your vehicles on social media but never drive them? I still believe the brand is still churning out prototypes as they are not yet ready.

Myplaydiary, kindly go through the emboldened as posted by you and find below what Auto Josh pointed out which, according to you, would make Innoson fizzle out;

1 . customer care/social media (The heart and soul of every business)
2. Show Rooms (the perfect breeding ground to exhibiting your array of vehicled)
3. Spare parts/accessories (Like hell!)
4. Advert (The heart of every business)

If you are scared of doing the above because it would stiffen the competition by seeing many rival companies here, then it's a way of saying the Innoson brand should not be trusted because rather than quality service, the brand is just profit conscious.

PS: I honestly don't understand what is wrong with the thinking of most Nigerian companies. It's as if we are programmed to making the same mistakes time and time again. Innoson is clearly not ready. It is not by 'it is our own'. You have to provide those things Auto Josh mentioned to create aggressive awareness about the variety of products and also assure potential customers that there are more than enough parts of your vehicles out there. And rather than note his points, you're being defensive with some flimsy excuses. So typical of Nigerian brands. Later they'll say we don't like patronizing our own.

Concrete words my brother. Well said

U are getting it all wrong myplaydiary. What the guy mentioned earlier was the truth and learn how to imbibe constructive criticism instead of being too defensive. Your reaction speaks volume of the automobile brand readiness to other competitors in the market. I need to recall you about what sources gathered that most Innoson employees including the CEO use foreign brand vehicles which sends wrong signals to consumers.

Ofcours you will want to tell me he is entitled to use any automobile brands that suites him but hey! that doesn't speak well for his brand. You must have heard of how toyota management team sacked their employees who use competitor brands such as honda, mazda, etc. Why can't we emulate such? Charity truly begins at home.

Wassce:
Watch how the same people that were cheering Bubu when he divided Nigeria into 97% and 5% will be the first ones to start campaigning for osunbade here as a bridge builder.
Now they're using igbo handles to be calling for bubu resignation. All of a sudden, igbo voice now matter to them.smh
Trust my western brothers at your own risk. Where are the sai baba chanters today?

Envy is one of the problem confronting Liepods brain. It's rather you guys who camouflaged under the whims of SW names hailing PYO like crazy dog. Despite the fact that the SW peeps ignored your feeble, you are playing a divide tactic to ensure separation between SW and North. It's in your blood drumming confusion among people.

peeparty:
