Eku-bear, please educate them! |

What's the point of having more than 2 airport in the entire SW? |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by Kobojunkie: 4:57am On May 04, 2012 |
What is the point of having more than 2 airports in all of the SW? I hope you meant instead to ask what the point is in having an international airport in a state with one of the highest, if not the most, poverty rates in the country, yet with alarmingly high birth rate to boot. |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by ektbear: 5:00am On May 04, 2012 |
Which state is this you are talking about with one of the highest poverty rates in Nigeria, and also a high birth rate? I doubt Ekiti is even in the top half either of those metrics, let alone both. |

^^^ Ebonyi takes the cake. . . . but Ekiti is more significant than that empty village. * |

Ileke-IdI:no maa. I will choose ebonyi over the forest called ekiti |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by Nobody: 6:47am On May 04, 2012 |
Mr. Globe: I thought you dont pay attention to "ofemmanus"? I'm Yoruba, from Ekiti state and I'd appreciate it if you okoros stop sniffing my post. kapish! |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by Kobojunkie: 6:53am On May 04, 2012 |
Ekiti, announced 2nd poorest state in Nigeria last year by sunnewsonline. Analysis of poverty in Ekiti State Nigeria. Rather than engaging in stupid arguments, those who do not see things as they are should take the issue up with their government and question why the state remains one of the poorest in the nation. |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by MrGlobe(m): 6:55am On May 04, 2012 |
Ileke-IdI:yes I know you are yeroba because you dummy. Wasnt paying attention to your Yoruba brain. Was just correcting your delusional thoughts since you brought it on a public forum. And where will the airport be located in the ekiti forest lol |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by Nobody: 6:58am On May 04, 2012 |

Kobojunkie: Ekiti, announced 2nd poorest state in Nigeria last year by sunnewsonline.Ileke Yoruba Idi, why is your state Ekiti forest the poorest state in Nigeria? Why not take time off nairaland and invest your browsing money in your state |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by Nobody: 7:03am On May 04, 2012 |
You're paying me too much attention, dude. Even Yeske! would be jealous. |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by ektbear: 7:04am On May 04, 2012 |
Kobojunkie: Ekiti, announced 2nd poorest state in Nigeria last year by sunnewsonline. That article doesn't support your argument for two reasons: 1. It says that Ekiti gets the 2nd lowest allocations in Nigeria. But federal allocations alone do not define poverty/wealth. 2. Even if federal allocations alone defined poverty/wealth, once obviously should look at a PER CAPITA figure rather than aggregate. I mean, there was even a recent post that discussed poverty state by state (https://www.nairaland.com/917560/67-igbos-poor-compared-59.1) Please try to use your brain every now and again...it isn't by force to be an id1iot. |

I am waiting for you to provide evidence of excessively high birth rates in Ekiti..... |

^^^ If you weren't class A eejit yourself, you would have known to send your cry out to SunnewsOnline the media house that made the declaration to begin with . . . and maybe your governor for allowing the poverty rate in the state stay as high as it remains.

Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by ektbear: 7:13am On May 04, 2012 |
Kobo. You are an id1ot. You googled for an article to support your point, and didn't even bother to read it. Sun news is fond of posting sensationalist headlines for dummies like you. But if you'd actually read the article, you've have seen that it was saying "2nd lowest federal allocations in Nigeria", not 2nd poorest. Why are you so dumb? What was the purpose of you going to school if you won't use your brain and reason properly? Whoever paid for your education deserves a refund. |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by Nobody: 7:15am On May 04, 2012 |
ekt_bear: I am waiting for you to provide evidence of excessively high birth rates in Ekiti..... I don't know about having excessively high rates, but we do have high rates of multiple births o. One more thing I love about my Ekiti genes. |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by ektbear: 7:15am On May 04, 2012 |
I have never seen or heard of a woman as dumb as this Kobojunkie. And the worst thing too, is rather than keeping silent in her stvpidity, she is very loud, open and proud of it. Amazing. |

And then when she is owned on the first point she raised and is too cowardly to try to support her second point, she says, "back to topic." I do not have much patience for stark raving m0rons like you, Kobo. |

Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by ektbear: 7:24am On May 04, 2012 |
Notice immediately after your text in red which you quoted is the word "Excerpts". In other words, the red text wasn't a part of the actual interview that took place. It isn't a quote from the governor or any government officials. Just Sun (and evidently your own) interpretation of the interview. Despite nowhere in the the interview anyone actually claiming what you say. |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by ektbear: 7:26am On May 04, 2012 |
This isn't rocket science. If you make a claim like "second poorest", then you have to back it up. You Kobo are using Sun as your reference. Sun has no reference..the text in red isn't supported by any actual statements or facts. Thus the claim is unsupported. Furthermore, it isn't on me to talk to Sun regarding their headline. The onus is on you to back your your statements with fact. You have failed in this regard. Perhaps not too surprising...you aren't mentally equipped for this type of thing. |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by Kobojunkie: 7:30am On May 04, 2012 |
Anyways, for anyone else out there who would rather be INFORMED than swallow up gunk spewwed by some deluded rat in a forum . . . [size=13pt]We look at the table, which is the federal allocation table. That is how we discovered. You know, usually allocations (to each state) are dependent on internally generated revenue, so the lower you generate, the less you get. That is how it is. Until when we are able to boost our internally generated revenue we may not get much more than that. So we have to work hard on the ways of generating revenue for the State. And there are so many ways. [/size] http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/politics/2011/july/28/politics-28-07-2011-002.html Like I said . . . . those who have a problem with the paper's article should direct their concerns to the paper, and the parties supposedly quoted in there . . . |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by ektbear: 7:34am On May 04, 2012 |
I do not know what is up with you and selective quoting. Why did you not quote the paragraph before?
Again....like my very first post pointed out. Second lowest allocations != second poorest state. I know that logic and reasoning are not strengths of yours KoboJ. But surely even you understand this. |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by Kobojunkie: 7:52am On May 04, 2012 |
^^ see mumude . . . The thing tell am say Ekiti gets the 35th, because Ekiti is the 2nd poorest State(coming from back to front) of states when it comes to revenue generation, i.e Ekiti is 2nd poorest and as a result also gets 2nd poorest allocation. I'm brain no even get that at all, even after blowing it up in big read bold prints. ROFLMAO!! See master of logic and reasoning, no even get eyes to see wetin dey ring red and bold in front of am . . . ROFLMAO!! Google nigerian . . . I never see anyone wey don fit achieve all the many phases of Nigerianism simply by googling Nigeria like this one . . . shey the power of the internet . . . ROFLMAO!! |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by ektbear: 7:57am On May 04, 2012 |
OK. So by your logic, 2nd lowest allocation => 2nd poorest state. Is this correct? I don't want to misrepresent your reasoning before I dismantle it. |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by ektbear: 8:00am On May 04, 2012 |
=> means implies, just in case you were confused. |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by phantom(m): 8:45am On May 04, 2012 |
^^^^she's pointed it out that fed allocation is proportional to IGR, ekiti gets the 2nd least fed allocation therefore, EKITI MUST HAVE THE 2ND LEAST IGR, therefore EKITI= 2nd poorest state in the country hope this helps... |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by ektbear: 8:53am On May 04, 2012 |
Let's assume all of that is true (it isn't, btw. Federal allocation is not purely a function of IGR.) Is 2nd lowest allocation the same as 2nd lowest per capita allocation? Is 2nd lowest IGR the same as 2nd lowest IGR per capita? Clearly it is not.. If you want to talk about wealth/poverty/etc, at a minimum you need to be using the right units (per capita) rather than aggregate units. The leap from federal allocation to 2nd poorest state in Nigeria makes no sense logically, as you can see. Anyway not only does it not make sense logically, it contradicts known measured data from a variety of sources. Including this document: http://www.nigerianstat.gov.ng/uploads/latestRelease/4c6807f6bf92fb3f71084f3a48964c305c68ccad.pdf which was recently discussed on NL. |
Re: Ekiti Plans International Airport Project by ektbear: 8:59am On May 04, 2012 |
Literally every implication in this argument is wrong, lol. Federal allocation is not proportional to IGR alone. IGR alone is not a proxy for wealth, unless one also normalizes for population. Just too many holes in the reasoning here. Not to mention that it contradicts known facts about poverty in Nigeria, on state vs. state basis.. |
