@ post, I laugh in 419. I was in benin city and the place is as medieval as Afganistan 5000 BC.
. That's not true,I grew up in benin all my life but left in 2004, presently am back in benin and wen I came in, I noticed a lot of positive changes to the extent that I could barely recognise some places. GoV Adams has tried and bini poeple can testify to that.

Bliss4Lyfe: Benin City look clean. Very smooth roads. Onitsha and Aba can emulate such upgrade.
onitsha and aba are not state capitals

I totally disagree with you. Fayemi and Aregbeshola have been in power close to 3 years already and there are no major signs of improvement in Ekiti and Osun States as you can see in Lagos and Edo.

On the other hand PDP has produced some of the most AmAzing Governors. Visit Enugu state and see what Chime has done there. Visit Rivers ans see Ameachi's imprint especially in Education. Visit Cross River and see what Duke did there.

To be fair, its not about parties. Its about individuals. Oshiomole is a quality individual and that quality would reflect in his works.

There is no PDP state that you can compare with Ekiti and Osun States. If you are doubting let us open another thread and compare with facts and figures. Go Ekiti and Osun States and see for by yourself. Im opportune to travel, observed and asked questions about what is happen in those states. The young and old convince me anough.

The most civilized people are enlightened,hence they make the best decisions.they understand that justice and equity is directly related to their empowerment and well being-hence they fight for it
.they do not sell their birth rights for crumbs.Nigeria needs total enlightenement to enable it work.Too many people in Nigeria 95% are too docile and meek.they have been brainwashed by religious dogmatism and propangandas.Nigerians be wise,this life is important,justice is the essence of all faith.Big ups to the action Governor Oshiomole,Big up to Fashola.these are the progressives I see in the Nigerian political theater.

We post development pictures and facts from ACN states everyday to back up what we say, but unfortunately for goofy empty liars and spinners like you, all you have is mouth, you have nothing to back up your rubbish, not even a single project, fact or picture, you just talk and lie.

How come everyday on NL, it's only this and that project with pictures from ACN states we see?

Keep quiet sometimes..

I've never been to Benin, so I was wrong about it being part of Yorubaland. The fact is that part of the country is Yoruba.

And did you visit Enugu, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross Rivers.... to conclude that no PDP state can compare with Ekiti and Osun??
I've been in both states you mentioned and even the most disliked PDP Governors like Uduaghan can boast of better. Asaba, Ilorin and Jigawa have experienced better change in the last 2 years than have Ekiti snd Osun. So please travel more Okay?

And please I am waiting to see any pictures of Osun, Ekiti, Oyo, as we've see of Edo, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Enugu. Please upload pictures or forever remain silent.

You are the one disputing other people's assertions so the burden is on you to post pictures and please start with Enugu while you are at it...


Akwa Ibom's budget is N460 billion with just 2 million people while Ekiti and Osum state's combined N276. That's N184 billion more than both state's and there is nothing much going on on Akwa Ibom but 2 or 4 major roads and flyover bridge.


Rivers boasts the largest budget in Nigeria N490 billion with just 5 million people and nothing Major to show for their huge budgets year after year.


So use your head and come up with reasonable and rational comparisons next time.

You mean you've never been to the Republic of Benin.

And yeah, somewhere around one tenth of the country is Yoruba. But do you actually know where in Kwara and the Republic of Benin your grandparents are from?

Does it matter? They're Yorubas. I was born in Lagos to Yoruba-speaking parents. So, I'm a Lagos indigene.

Well I'm not saying that you don't know who your father really is - at least not right now. I'm just saying that both of those places (Kwara state and Republic of Benin) are multi-ethnic and assimilation went on in those places to some degree, so you might not be as "Yoruba" as you really think you are, and in fact, you might not be Yoruba at all, but instead mostly just some Hausa-Fulani-Fon-Ewe-Adja mix of unknown provenance.

Just some food for thought.
