Politics / Re: Are There More Men Than Women In Nigeria? by egbesegbe: 12:28pm On Oct 28, 2011
On the contrary poster, there are more more women than men,and that explains why a man can marry as much wives as he can,besides go check birth rate, there are more female babies than male,  

 

Well, i am yet to accept that because i know there are many guys that are not married due to economic hardship while their female counter part have stop bearing babies. I have opportunity of visiting one village in Edo state where there were very very few babes but plenty guys hustling for the few babes. the competition there was high. i feel women easily move to cities than men. The number of men in interior villa is far higher than that of women in those area

The irony of it is that anytime there is altar call in any church in Lagos for those looking for life partner, the population of women is always higher. How come? Or is it that all our men are in the villa?

Yh Relationships were not like those days that was why you were not told. The 21st century has turned everything less than what it ought to be.

Relationships--------- Meaningless
Feelings ----------------Heartless
Attitudes--------------- careless
Wives-------------------Fearless
Leaders-----------------Shameless
Youths-------------------Jobless
Children-----------------Mannerless
Education---------------Valueless
Food---------------------Fatless
Dress--------------------Sleeveless
Car------------------------Keyless
cooking-------------------Fireless
Phones-------------------Wireless
Infact Everything is less. Our prayer in this century is God don't let our endless hope make us speechless in this useless world.

Pls take heart dear.
Nairaland / General / A Graduate Arrested Over Theft Of Vegetables by egbesegbe: 9:09am On Sep 18, 2011
This wise crack aptly played itself out last Wednesday in Minna, Niger State capital, as a self-confessed jobless Law graduate of Amhadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna State, Sadiq Chukwuma, began his journey to the Nigerian Prisons custody following his arrest with some stolen fresh vegetables (Ugwu Leaves) by the police at the popular Mobil Junction market within the metropolis.

Initially, his arrest would have been impossible by the police, as the 27-year-old suspect was said to have wriggled himself free from the grip of his captors who were mostly women, as he allegedly bolted away with the stolen vegetables, after which the long arm of the law caught up with him when he was traced to the market by the police, while selling the stolen fresh vegetables to unsuspecting members of the public.

Nairaland / General / How Asian Oil Companies Decieved Nigeria by egbesegbe: 11:09am On Aug 21, 2011
From 2003, Nigeria lost billions of dollars to multi-national oil companies from Asian countries under the oil-for-infrastructure agreements, an investigative report of Chatham House recently released in the United Kingdom has revealed.

Successive Nigerian governments had entered into oil-for-infrastructure agreements with oil companies from India, South-Korea and China, but the projects were never executed even though the companies were awarded lucrative oil blocs at alleged discounted rate, the explosive report, entitled; “The Thirst for African Oil,” alleged.

Summary of strategic deals, according to the report, includes an agreement with South-Korea which was to lay gas pipeline from Ajaokuta to Kano via Abuja, build integrated gas power stations at Abuja and Kaduna and construct the Port Harcourt–Maidu-guri railway.

There is also China which is core investor in the Kaduna Refinery. It was to construct the double-track, standard-gauge Lagos–Kano railway and a hydro-electric complex at Mambilla.

Also, India was to handle the construction of a certain Greenfield Refinery of 180,000 barrels per day capacity; construct a 2,000 megawatts Independent Power Plant and conduct feasibility study for a new East–West railway from Lagos to Delta State.

The report also listed Taiwan as core investor in the Port Harcourt Refinery and in the construction of an Independent Power Plant, while Malaysia was to handle a 2.5 million tonnes per annum petrochemical project in Delta State. The project is capable of creating 7,000 jobs.

The Asian oil companies were allegedly awarded oil blocs under favourable terms during the 2005, 2006 and 2007 licencing rounds with an agreement that the beneficiaries would invest a total of US$20 billion in infrastructural developments as listed above.

The report, however, noted that the agreements were sordidly handled as there was no proper mechanism to ensure that the companies executed the infrastructures programme after the award of the oil blocs to them.

It was also revealed in the report that some of the companies did not even pay the required sum of signatures bonus after award of the oil blocs with allegations that several millions of dollars were unaccounted for under the said circumstances. A South-Korea company was fingered in this episode, while in the case of an Indian company, the agreement was framed in such a way that the infrastructure projects was not meant for implementation.

Aside the foreign companies, the report also cited Nigerian oil players, allegedly fronting for highly-placed interests who were said to have also secured profitable oil blocs, the proceeds of which were allegedly used to prosecute recent elections by the ruling party.

The report noted further that the oil-for-infrastructures deal was fully exposed by a committee set up by the late President Umaru Yar’Adua who was reportedly confronted with top-level complicity, leading to the cancellation of award of some oil blocs.

The report, which further dwelt on high-level corruption within the nation’s oil sector, affirmed that the financial arrangements for the oil-for-infrastructure deals were not favourable to Nigeria as the Asian oil companies had offered only to partly fund the projects with government-to-government loans.

“But the terms were not satisfactory. For all the projects, Nigeria would have to find the balance of the funding itself. That would have imposed a burden over time. The downside of the Indian approach was that the projects would not start until the oil blocks were in production – which can entail three to five years of prospecting,” the report stated.

While chronicling the failure and deep corruption in the Nigerian oil sector, the report contrasted the situation with similar deals in Angola which it (the report) said was a huge success.

The Asian oil companies, the report noted, appeared more honest and transparent in their dealings with the Angolan government, citing the high-level political and economic discipline of the Angolan system as responsible.

The failed deals and Nigeria’s loss of about $10 billion was said to have prompted the Petroleum Industry Bill, which local and foreign interests are reportedly falling over each other to kill.

The bill, already before the National Assembly, seeks to introduce transparency and openness in the bidding process of the oil sector
Politics / U Be Thief I Nor Be Thief by egbesegbe: 8:12am On Aug 20, 2011
Somewhere in the background, Fela croons:
(You be tief, I no be tief
You dey steal, I no dey steal
You be rogue, I no be rogue
You be robber, I no be robber
You be armu robber, I no be armu robber
Argument argument, argue, argument argument
Dem argue, argument argument
Argument about stealing…)

“Hey, you this boy, get me today’s newspapers kia kia!”

“Ah, Baba, they are already on your breakfast table sir. All your regulars  are there sir. The New York Times, The Washington Post, International Herald Tribune, The Times of Afghanistan, The Nepal Chronicle, The Toronto Star, The Times of Papua New Guinea, The…”

“My friend, I’m not interested in international newspapers today. Get me our own papers”

“Sir?”

“Are you deaf? Is your head correct at all? What is wrong with this boy today? Are you going to start counting my voice?”

“Sorry, Baba, but I don’t understand”

“Mo ma daran o. You don’t understand what? I say go and get me today’s papers!”

“Like Tribune, Punch, Guardian, Vanguard, and ThisDay?”

“No. Like Toyota, Nissan, BMW, and Mercedes. Did you forget your brain in your room when you woke up today?”

“Em… em… Baba but those are Nigerian newspapers sir. You don’t read local newspapers sir. Ever since you declared two years ago that Nigerian journalists and newspapers are worthless and that…”

“My friend, shut up and go and get me newspapers!”

“But, sir, all the vendors have run away from Otta since you declared war on local newspapers sir. And remember that you beat one vendor and nearly killed him for stealing two eggs from the poultry sir. So, it is not easy to get Nigerian newspapers around the farm here sir”

“You this foolish boy, I’m not going to continue this argument with you. If in 30 minutes I am not reading today’s newspapers right here where I am seating, the ground on which you are standing will grow taller than you today. Iwo aso ni lenu omo buruku yi”

“Baba, I will try to get the papers.”

“hm hm, don’t try”

“Baba, you are in are in such a foul mood this morning sir. Abi it is Ayo Fayose again? Has he called you a father of bastards again? Abi it is Chief Bode George? Is he still refusing to do omoluabi and bring tibi to Ota?”

“Just go and get me the damned papers, my friend! If you must know, I just got a phone call that one idiot in Minna has developed diarrhea of the mouth and I want to confirm things. But I know that they are lying against him. Mo jeri e. He cannot say what they said he said about me”

“Okay, sir, let me run and get the papers sir”

“A ma dupe o! Finally, you have grown a brain. If it is true that that yeye man has abused me like people are telling me on the phone, I will make him understand that when you step on a viper, something that crawls on its chest will give you a fight. But I trust him sha. A barking dog knows the man from whose pocket came the money that bought it.”

“Baba… Baba… Baba…. I’ve come back from town with the newspapers sir. Chei, Babangida has killed you sir. Mi o riru eleyi ri o. I’ve never seen anything like this before Baba. It’s a combination of uppercuts and knockouts. Ayo Fayose was kese kese, this one is the real kasa kasa.”

“Ogbeni, are you mad? Are you crazy? I may have to hire another personal assistant soon. Common, sit down and read the damned papers to me!”

“Sorry, sir, I got carried away. Em… em… here is how the Guardian puts it sir: ““In my eight years in office, I was able to manage poverty and achieved success while somebody for eight years managed affluence and achieved failure.”

“Is that what Babangida is saying?”

“That is just the appetizer, Baba. He also said that…”

“Okay, ok, that’s enough. If Babangida has decided, on becoming a septuagenarian, that he will be a fool, I think one should probably do what the Bible says in Proverbs Chapter 26, verse 4. It says don’t answer a fool because you may also become like him. When you go to the same Proverbs chapter 26, verse 5, it says answer a fool so that he will not think he’s a wise man. So, I am now torn between which of the two verses I should follow in this respect.”

“Baba, what about Ese Ifa?”

“What did you say?”

“Sir, I mean, em…em… if the Bible is giving you contradicting verses, tossing you a little to the right and a little to the left, what about Ifa verses? There should be an Ifa verse that could guide you on how to respond to this Minna virus if the Bible confuses you instead of offering you a solution”

“O ma de tun ri yen so o. Your brain is not always useless. Ifa says an elder should never give his mark of superiority to an insolent child, you just show it to him. I will show that fool at seventy my mark of superiority.”

“So, what do we do now, Baba?”

“Good question. Do we still have the secret files on Dele Giwa?”

“Yes sir”

“And the files on Gloria Okon?”

“Yes sir”

“And the files on Bongos Ikwue’s love child with…”

“Yes sir”

“And the files on the secret cash bunker beneath his hilltop mansion in Minna?”

“Yes sir”



“And the files on the Ejigbo Hercules plane crash?”

“Yes sir. But…sir…”

“But what?

“Sir, those are all code red files?”

“And so”

“Well, when I got this job as your personal assistant, they told me during orientation that all the Generals who have ruled Nigeria possess code red files on one another and you all have a pact never to release those files to Nigerians no matter the degree of provocation. If you release the code red files you have on Babangida sir, do we know what code red files he has on you? Do you want to be the first of the Generals to ever cross that deadly line sir?”

“Ah, that’s true. O tun ri yen so again. Alright, go and summon journalists to my Presidential library tomorrow. I will give a press conference there. Do we have enough cash in brown envelopes for them?”

“Yes, sir, but the journalists are always complaining that your brown envelopes are never brown enough”

“Did their fathers give me the money? My friend, go and do what I asked you to do!”
(Somewhere in Abuja…)

“Hello, hello, is that you, Reno?”

“Hello, yes this is Reno. Ah, Reuben, is that you?”

“You no know my voice again? I hope you and Trippi are enjoying the Federal Government’s hospitality at the Presidential suite of that hotel?”

“My brother, we thank God o. We were just waiting for Oronto. Has he left the villa?”

“Yes, he will join you and Trippi soon at the hotel but there is a developing story. Have you read the papers today?”

“No, what’s going on, Reuben?”

“Ah, Obj and IBB have been rolling in the gutter and I see an opportunity for us there.”

“Really, how bad is it, Reuben?”

“Very bad, Reno. Get the papers.”

“Fantastic! In that case, that would be a perfect diversion!”

“Precisely! My thoughts, exactly. That’s why I called you. We should milk the situation to the maximum. It’s not easy dealing with what people in my former constituency are now saying and writing about me.”

“Reuben! Shebi me and Oronto don tell you make you no worry? You’ll get used to it. You’ll soon forget that that other world even exists”

“I hear you but we need to seize the opportunity of these Generals in the gutter”

“I agree with you. That could take Nigerians’ attention away from tenure elongation, kerosene scarcity, Islamic banking, insecurity, unemployment, and the duplication of roles between the President’s cabinet and his economic team.”

“That’s what I’m thinking. You have no idea how tough it is for me to release statements defending those things when I know what I would have written when…”

“Reuben, you are no longer allowed to think what you would have thought when you were outside. You are paid to think what we think! But I agree with you that these foolish Generals have provided a fantastic diversion for us.”

“Yes, here is my plan. While we give the impression to the Nigerian people that the presidency is unhappy with the Generals’ spat and that president Jonathan is working quietly behind the scenes with other eminent elder statesmen to resolve the issue, we can do other things underground to keep them tearing at each other for the next two weeks”

“Reuben! Brilliant! That is brilliant! You are already better at this job than Oronto and I combined! Why don’t you work on your kinsman from Ogun? Oronto and I will work on the Minna General.”
(A few minutes past midnight, )

“Hello, Baba, sorry I am calling this late sir”

“Who is this?”

“Emi omo yin ni sir”

“I know how many children I have”

“It’s Reuben sir. From the presidency”

“Ah, Reuben! It’s you. Omo daa daa. Are you calling on behalf of your boss?”

“No sir, I am calling in my private capacity sir. I just read what the Minna General has been saying about you. It’s a collective insult on the Yoruba race sir and you must not allow him to get away with it. You must respond in full force sir. It’s also another insult from the Muslim north. They treat our leaders in the Christian south with contempt.”

“Reuben, you are a true omoluabi! Don’t worry. Babangida is a small boy. By tomorrow you will see my hands.”

“Em… Baba, you know that publicly the presidency will be making peace…”

“I understand…”

“Thank you sir. Baba, e ma gba o. You must deal decisively with IBB and…”

“Reuben, don’t worry. Wa gbele gbo.”eHeHH
Nairaland / General / Mob Set Bank Ablaze After Police Shot Woman Dead by egbesegbe: 6:30pm On Aug 19, 2011
Zenith Bank building at Mpape, in Abuja set ablaze by people protesting over the killing of a woman by a policeman attached to the bank on Monday There was pandemonium at Mpape, a suburb of Abuja yesterday morning when an angry mob set ablaze a commercial bank in the area following an alleged killing of a pregnant woman by a policeman attached to the bank. A witness, Mrs. Iyabo Oye, who owns a restaurant in the area, said the policeman fired at a taxi cab as the driver was trying to make a U-turn in front of the bank. In the process, he shot and killed a woman who was passing by.

Mrs. Oye added that the gun shot attracted the people of the area to the scene. Irked by the policeman’s conduct, an angry mob forced their way into the bank and set the building on fire.

Another witness, Mallam Nasir, a tea seller, told our reporter that the officer was shooting indiscriminately and in the process shot the woman.

“When he shot the woman, he pretended that nothing happened and the people fought for the lifeless woman. Before the security operatives could be reinforced to the scene, the bank has been touched by the irate mob,” he narrated.

FCT police commissioner, John Haruna, told journalists at the scene of the incident that the situation has been brought under control and promised that the policeman who allegedly shot the woman would be properly investigated and prosecuted according to the law.
