Don't think that is the uniform of the NPF and i heard newly recruited constables earn around 40k/month but don't know how true it is.

Ok Ileke-idi, what's the problem?

apoti:
I want to believe he said 40,000 kW, which equals 40MW  

More like it or maybe 40,000kw was what he meant to say

babaowo:
thats igbo man for U, their mouth sweet pass honey! 40,000mega watin? Kilode as we want power the whole continent.

Itching to start an ethnic war here, e no dey tire u sef?

Dede1:
The self-glorifying mindset you poured on your post, as shown above, is the reason the south-east does not have a single federal presence in the zone. If Lagos,by chance of wit. should be thrown out of equation of development in the Nigeria, northern region will soundly trump all southern regions combined in development.

It will take a mad dictator from eastern region to rule Nigeria for forty (40) years in order to bring south eastern region to half the development seen in northern region. Is there anything industrially or politically imaginable not situated in northern region except seaport because there is no ocean?

Pal, I do not give a ratarse if all demographic segments of northern region did not see the four walls of western civilization-styled institution, northern region of Nigeria is developed in terms of economic infrastructures situated in the region.

Every imaginable government parastatal required to give regions leverage as far as development is concerned could be pointed out by a blind person in northern region of Nigeria.

I would want to rate you an intellectual but your post is stating otherwise, comparing northern and southern Nigeria is ludicrous even a Non-Nigerian who had never visited Nigeria would know better and don't you think variables like literacy rate, poverty rate, access to basic health facilities, economic activity etc. are better factors determing a good standard of living and not merely a federal parastatal? Ol'boy you don fall my hand

Beaf:
That is not true, bruv.
Lagos has the highest literacy levels in Nigeria, but the SW as a whole comes behind the SE and SS.

. . .Please someone provide the stats, I don't have the strength.

You're right, i think i saw something like that on another thread some time ago

Hmmm, some kind of joke right?

I speak Igbo, Yoruba, English and Brokin all fluently, can get myself through French reasonably well and a bit of Hausa.

FACE:
When Ndi-Igbo ask for more states, what we are really asking for is a very level playing field for all. We realise that our land mass in the SE is the smallest in the federation, but our population is quite similar to other zones.

Let me give a few examples of how fewer states and LGAs affect us.

Revenue allocation is based on population, land mass and the number of LGAs. We already lost out in land mass (naturally) and the imbalance in states/LGA per zone also make us lose out. In other words we lose out in all fronts of revenue allocation. The only exceptions are Imo and Abia that get some more from their own share of 13% oil derivation.

Academic pursuit and employment in federal parastatals and other institutions: The quota system element of school admission plays a large role in curtailing the number of more qualifying SEners that would gain admission to schools. For example, about 10% of admission into Fed Unis are on quota bases. This means that if each state had a quota of 2, SE states would have a total of 10 places as against 12 and 14 places for other zones. The same applies to federal employment as well. Because of this system, people from some zones only need to score up to JAMB/University pass mark to gain admission, whereas their SE counterparts don't have the same opportunity due to very high interest in uni education. In my time, the cut off point for mech engine at UNN was 264 for Imo state candidates but candidates from states like Benue were admitted on university pass mark of 200 and still, they could not fill their quota.

Federal character: siting of some institutions and appointments are based on fed xter. For example, federal ministries, federal govt coll and universities in all states mean that SE zone only get 5 for every 6 or 7 for other zones.

Legislative relevance/decisions. SE states have to work harder than other zones in forming alliances to sway the NASS to pass favourable policies, because they have only 15 senators as against other zones with 18 and 21 senators. This becomes even more ridiculous with the House of Reps because of very few constituencies in comparison to other zones.

Many more examples abound.

If we get rid of quota system and some other silly stuff and embrace equal opportunity for all and the right for states to exploit their natural resources and pay tax to FG, just maybe, SEners will become satisfied with  5 states in the zone.

You be winsh, how you take read my mind?

Buncha bullocks --- why not spend more time trying to fix the educational system with influential policies --- anyways, I wish I got the contract to organize this. That's almost 10 million or so to waste, while number children don't have food to eat or access to good education. #Uuumph

Yeye man

Who would forget in a hurry the 'Heads would roll' speech by ex-speaker Dimeji Bankole and what happened to his own head. GEJ should stop all these rhetorics- we've seen and heard it all and get back to work. If he's that serious on corruption, he could help by bringing one of the pending high profile cases to see the light of day and helping madam Okonjo with her big three cases that the EFCC and ICPC 'know nothing about'.

May be a good idea but i thought the naira was sort of pegged to the dollar or is it because there is a propensity for the yuan to rise and the dollar dropping in value in future, can someone expantiate further?

This shows how callous we are as a people, a good suggestion and derailment soon after. See why i feel this country has no redemption.

I only hope MASSOB members don't read this and realise they've been silly all the while for not bearing arms, too bad for this country

Thank God i have no problem with this, my three names are all Igbo names ending with Chukwu

Problem is i don't even know my problem. When i used to be a church attendee and it's time for praise and worship(ijo adaraya), see me sweating it out but when whoever would preach mounts the pulpit, the only thing i remember is the closing prayer and the funny thing is i don't even feel sleepy when i get home.

[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=751182.msg9073273#msg9073273 date=1315091875]Nope lagos or nigeria would not lose anything actually

lagos is a self economy itself without extental help


Africa, Sub-Saharan

Rank   City Country GDP in $ID BN Population (MIL)[16]
1 Johannesburg South Africa $ 110 3.670
2 Cape Town South Africa $ 103 3.405
3 East Rand South Africa $ 54   3.202
4 Lagos           Nigeria        $ 35                 10.578
5 Luanda           Angola       $ 33           4.772

which is not bad but i know we can do better [/quote]Before stating otherwise, have you critically analysed the interdependence of both economies? Not all about GDP figures my friend

You woke up from a nightmare or what?

asha 80:
anambra does not have oil i think but large deposits of gas(untapped)

Anambra has untapped deposits of oil and gas so stop thinking
Lagos could go the way Hong Kong did but it would lose as much as Nigerha would lose it

I drink it because i 'heard' it contains herbs but don't know sha, i guess maybe first Ghanaian investment in Naija. Making their money here but are quick to yab us at the slightest opportunity

Jobless clowns fighting as if GEJ or Ajimobi cares if anyone of them is killed

Sun of god:
He's Suffering From EFCC Syndrome - 


Lets start connecting the dots - Within the last few days:

Tinubu orders a few more 'Private Jets' -  

Okonjo-iweala announces 3 big corruption cases in the pipeline;   

Lagos house speaker arrested over 7 Billion Naira fraud;   

And now - Tinubu leaves Nigeria. 

Hmmm. . . .
