babyosisi: As for Ngozi IwealaTo your thinking that is a witticism? Don't you have any real friends to tell you the truth about yourself You are brainless and conceited.You lack insight and so that removes any hope of palliation. You come here with your random ejaculations which are consistent in their predictable idiocy and you smugly feel you are saying anything of value. You are an obnoxious irritating little twit and would cause general relief and jubilation if you disapppeared never to be seen again 4 Likes |

If this looks like a pajamas Then WTF does this look like?: [img]https://www.nairaland.com/attachments/102877_TheauthorandfriendsdressedinIsi-aguatawedding_jpgc9e12d0a13854e4740b61c107c55d6f9[/img] You have to understand that the more you insult Fashola for dressing like a Nigerian/Yoruba man, you're cursing your past and future generation. And I say, AMEN to that. |

eh Aribasal0 To your question about culture It is from food, to clothing, to occasions, events, language etc For instance, at the end-of-year party in my office, we had a potluck, with the help of my mother, I cooked Ofe Nsala with fresh fish and made Corn flour (garri is too expensive) and took it to work. That was expressing my culture. In my organization, like middle of the year, we have diversity week, where folks from all works of life express their tribe. I actually performed my song in Igbo (don't ask) which one. So you see, these are what makes up my culture.. Even I remembered when my mom made abacha for us here, I nearly ate my fingers off.. I love my culture, don't think for a sec that I'm colonized or share that mentality of yours.. All I'm saying is, I love my culture but I cant overdo certain things... if that makes any sense |

[b]Wats wit all the crappy talk here? Google boss av been visiting all the BACKWARD 3rd world countries. He just came from North Korea and stopped over in Nigeria. All these noise abt Fashola's dressing can only be an issue to someone wit a very LOW SELF ESTEEM. Again, Nigerians should stop hyping the country unnecessairly, NIGERIA IS NOT A FACTOR IN THE 21 CENTURY I.T age. Nigeria is known for TERRORISM & CORRUPTION. Don't make a big deal out of this visit. You dnt even have ELECTRICITY & a very vey SMALL percentage of your population have access to the INTERNET. FYI, most of ur internet users rely on BLACKBERRY, an OBSELETE toll in DEVELOPED COUNTRIES. A lot of internet websites have BLOCKED Nigerian users. Nigerian credit cards are not accepted. So what? To the BIGOTS, the outside world doesn't know Sout East, SouthWest, South-South and North, all they know is NIGERIA, meaning, Y'ALL ARE IN IT TOGETHER, quit tribalism, the looters of ur treasury dont know tribe, e.g Obj and the Uba brothers (igbo &yourba).

manny4life: You are seriously standing logic on it's head.... If I may ask what criteria defined a professional or formal occasion; it is the host or the guest that should defined mode of dressing to an occasion; is Fasola the host or the guest; if you are not comfortable in your own cultural attire, how can you claim to be comfortable in strange/foreign one? NL is now full with people just coming out of KG!!!! |
Re: Eric Schmidt Visits Fashola in Lagos [Pictures] by CyberG: 9:21pm On Jan 22, 2013 |
The argument about the choice of Fashola's dressing is unwarranted really. The proponents of colonialist, slavery-induced dressing are the ibos and few turncoats who have permanent low self-esteem, inferiority complex and a victim mentality. A lot of these dates back to even pre-civil war times due to their non-existence of culture and history. The collosal loss of the civil war further excercebated their inferiority complex and slave mentality. Just a summary thought! @Visit: Good for Lagos and forward-thinking people who understand it is an opportunity to better the lives of their people locally, regionally and nationally. |

Anyway back to Google and Lagos state. I hope this can translate into jobs for our young people many of whom are excluded from the economy and are rapidly losing hope. |

If our IT sector is to become part of the world system a number of things will need to change. Our judicial system which has an integrity problem. Our Youth will need to eschew criminality as we have a bad reputation already and IT involves security so investors will need to know operatives won't be stealing customers financial details or other high value information and misusing them. In short Lagos cannot outrun many Nigerian factor problems but could be a driver for change |

This visit makes a lot of business sense but we need to tighten our laws to regulate such large corporations because their being ethical is not guaranteed. |

Nigerians are a very creative bunch often seeing impossible angles which many miss.This has been channelled negatively in the past and hopefully a thriving Lagos will attract investment to drive change.The journey ahead is a long one and miracles won't happen overnight.There are already very worthy leaders in the Russians Chinese and Indians. We can become a major player and even if we were only servicing our own local needs the impact will be revolutionary because Nigeria is a big country which is virtually starting over |

Why didn't Google visit Osogbo or abeokuta to see their governors? Lagos is an economic hub that was built by FG, Igbos and Hausas, so google is actually in the city to see how they could tap from the existing development and exploit the population. Afterwards google in itself has not been fair to Yorubas..if you doubt me, open google and type: yorubas are. You had be shocked at what you see. Then afterwards type Igbos are and see the difference. Probably google was in Nigeria to sympathies with the Yorubas on the above. 1 Like |
