Impossible in the modern world. Africans like to import foreign religions and practice SMH! Women travel your thing if Allah wanted you not too he would have taken your legs away.

Very stupid thread. Who told you that the man from Nazareth was answering Jesus when he was on earth? Was it not Yehoshua which if u want to be pedantic we should call him Joshua. So what difference does it make if you abbreviate what is already a wrong translation

No Roads in Benue


No Single Industry ( Dangote Off and On Mode)


95% of Benue youths na only Facebook politics them know....( No business ideas and not willing to leave the state to hustle. "Na our state Syndrome " )

Cargo Airport with which funds? A State with off and On Salary system....

Another means to divert funds to oil the machinery for the next election.

On and off salary loool

Over the past few weeks or so many a media have carried headlines similar to the above. Each time I read the story my gut feeling was that a denial would soon follow from the Government House Makurdi saying that His Excellency Dr. Chief Samuel Ortom was quoted out of context. To my utter disappointment there has not been any denial so far, meaning that the news that the governor plans to build an airport is correct. If that being the case then, I would like to say it loud to the governor that Benue State,as it is now, does not need any cargo airport. The proposed cargo airport, according to Governor Ortom, is to facilitate evacuation of agricultural products overseas in export. This, will at best, be another white elephant project that the state can do without and should do without for the good of the people of the state. The state over the years has given itself the appellative of "food basket of the nation". It is indeed doubtful if we should still wear that toga, given that many other northern states have now gone far ahead of us in agriculture, especially in all-year cropping. Thanks to their foresight in developing and adoption of dams and irrigation in agriculture; in Benue, we are still almost completely dependent on seasonal rainfalls, and with all its vagaries and uncertainties in our farming practices.

The governor should be advised that the trend now is not that of sending raw farm produce for export. He should enable his people to add value by way of processing the harvested crops before export. In fact being a former minister of trade, he does not need much persuading to appreciate this new trend. The governor should, to start with, open up the rural communities, who at the moment, find it difficult to evacuate their farm produce from point of production to the markets in the urban areas, by constructing rural roads. He should also consolidate efforts of previous administrations in provision of rural electrification and potable water supply. These will no doubt encourage the location of cottage industries in places where crops are harvested for processing and value addition. Benue State at moment does not have enough exportable goods that would warrant huge investment on a cargo airport.
Many other reasons abound why Governor Ortom should jettison the idea of building a cargo airport. The ongoing revival of the railway system in the country means in the near future transportation of our goods (if we have them) to the seaports in Calabar, Portharcout (both of which are currently under-utilised), and Lagos will pose no problems. Common sense dictates that railroads and seaports make better economy in the export of bulky agro-products than air freighting.
If the motivation of the government is that of business opportunities that cargo airport may create, then that is the more reason why the government should bury the idea in a twelve feet deep grave with reenforced concrete slabs on top. Benue State Government is always quick to establish businesses but notoriously poor in managing and sustaining ventures. The relics of such past misadventures are too common a sight within the state. Remember BCC, AGROMILLERS, LOBI BANK, BENUE BOTTLING COMPANY, BENARDA, BENUE TRACTOR HIRING AGENCY, BENUE STANDARD NEWSPAPERS, TARAKU Vegetable OIL MILL,OTUKPO BURNT BRICKS, BENHOUSE BUILDING SOCIETY, BENUE HOTELS, ETC ETC. Obviously some of these have been cheaply given away, others are beyond redeemable. However, there are a few others like the Otukpo Burnt Bricks, Taraku Oil Mill etc, that can still be resuscitated. The governor should look in those directions for now. Doing so means creating job opportunities for the youths.

I read somewhere sometime ago that our neighbouring Nassarawa State was also considering establishing a cargo airport. If they do, would it not make a better economic sense for us to use their airport in addition to the railroad and seaports?

Discussing the merits and demerits of having or not having a cargo airport in our state with two friends the other day, one of them was quick to point out that the facility when built would serve the dual role of the expressed purpose and also enable the governor to fly out and into the state in his own private or chattered jet. The other friend agreed, adding that that was what's trending among the governors in the country and that our governor being among the 'five richest governors' had no reason not to join in. My contribution was that the Samuel Ortom, I used to know was not a man given to ostentatious living or glamour and assuming that he was, with some understanding he could use the Airforce Tactical Command Airfield, Makurdi, instead.

The governor should please have a rethink over this issue with a view to setting its priorities in order. Assuming the airport is in place and the rural roads remain dilapidated, how would the farmers or business men take their goods to the airport? By helicopters? Please, Mr Governor open up the rural roads instead and creat jobs for youths roaming the streets. Needless to say that the project will be a complete failure even before it is started and a huge waste on our scarce resources.

Hmmmm. This guy.

is the first one nas

Xiadnat:


Neither. G-d is a spirit; genderless.

The HE used in the bible reflects the masculine culture of the biblical era. Nothing more.

Plus, it follows, they would use HE because G-d created Adam first; and from his rib, Eve was made.

thanks

I always used to ponder on this paricular topic in my youth is God male or female.

It does no such thing. Zakat is just a way for wealthy muslims to massage their conscience. If it was so effective there would be o poor muslim in the world

If these are not dark skinned, our definitions of dark skinned are different.

The fake hair nko thats my main argument. to say there are no light skinned naija ppl would be discriminatory to them but a lot are light from the bottle because of our warped sense of beauty.

somegirl1:


A smart person would be able to analyse a statement and extract several possible interpretations and a smart person would anticipate this and cover possible loopholes in his comment.

yes I conceded that already but what do you have to say about my point that this is no a representation of black beauty.

somegirl1:


Silly is being unable to articulate your point. You stated "contestants" and didn't state the gender plus you didn't specify that you were referring to unrelaxed hair.
Your comment was ambiguous and open to interpretation.

You have a point, though I thought you would be smart enough to puzzle out my meaning my mistake but that does not detract from my point that these girls are not a representation of black beauty. Just a sham with Skin Lightening and Wig Weaves and fake hair.

Ironi:
Why do you guys always post photoshopped pictures here ?
You always take pictures, remove all blemishes and lighten the skin colour and tone to make them look good.
Who the heck are you decieving ?
Unfortunately many people here don't even notice that pictures posted here especially of the so-called celebrities are all altered making them think Nigerians are light skinned.
Given the fact too that skin bleaching in Nigeria is a past time with both men and women shamelessly endulging in this disgraceful act, little wonder why some here think Nigerians are light skin.
This is serious psychological problem which Nigerians must deal with.
I know other black people with inferiority complex skin bleach but Nigerians take it a notch higher.
Do Nigerians have a complex?

Gbam thank you...But I disagree that Light skin makes you look good

somegirl1:


All the guys have their natural hair, so does Uzochukwu Lucy.

Dont be silly Was it guys I was referring to? And no she doesnt. At least let Africans embraces their own thing we must no always copy other races with our inferiority complex.


Haba if you cant beat them join them I am going to fix peruvian hair and bleach skin today!!

Stop making a caricature of other people's faith. Yours is no way better. That's all there's to say to you.

Look my faith permits me to take a wife of any age as set by ALLAHS Prophet (PBUH).. SO I dont know your problem if you have something to say say it. What is all this hate about. I asked this same question on the Islam thread I was told to come to the Romance thread so I came. I am just looking for a Wife and I wanted to try technology.

ronald4lif:
I'm certain the person behind this crap is not even a Muslim. You think making jest of another's religion makes you or whatever religion you believe in better right?. Clown!

who told u I am not a muslim? Anyway you have those duaghters and sisters I asked 4?

My Muslim Brothers, I am once again searching for another wife. I divorced my first wife for reasons of advanced age. I am looking for a young wife between the age of 8 and 13. So please forward me pictures of your daughters and sisters...Oh and she must be a virgin. Allah blessing be on you
