And since then they've used our resources to build a city to be proud of anywhere in the world.
Northerners are not as backward as many southerners believe.

Good decision....

Lagos State would have been for the super-rich alone grin grin grin

Next is to decentralise ....

1. Administrative capital (Abuja)
2. Legislative capital (Rivers)
3. Economic capital (Kano)
4. Academic capital (Enugu/Ondo)

Abuja.
A city of absurdities.
No industries,no notable market or commercial hub but money is flying around everywhere.
So many money miss road personalities.
Restructuring this country should be the first step in d so called fight against corruption.

They suppose shift FCT to from Abuja to Ileogbo in Osun state.

FCT supposed to be used to develop the underdevelop town in the country

It was used to develop Calabar...now a city

It was used to develop Lagos ..now a city

It has been using to develop a local village called Abuja and its now a City.

My opinion though

The best help thou at the time, it looked like a curse to Lagos
but its actually the best thing ever to happened to Lagos,
If the Fed Govt had still remained in that town, by now that city would have been something else.

Caveat: Lagos still remains Abuja's big sister in all ramification and every sphere of human existence. Economic, Social, Money-miss-roads whatelse, name it

We should start by buying roofing sheet for Ileogbo before we start talking about moving the capital there

Abuja, the over-pampered child of a rich father. Where 70% of our wealth is spent but contributes nothing to the nation.

The home of the 10% that eat the cake which belongs to 90% in other parts of the country....Mchewwwwwww.

Just delete two of its main buildings and their occupants (Aso rock and National House of Assembly) and you have solved 90% of the country's problem

I want to use this medium to advice you all.
Please the single guys be informed that there is more to marriage than sex.
Sex is overrated. When you are married, you get tired of eating the same punny after a while.
It takes oda tins to let the marriage work. Compatibility and genuine love.

The society must stop body-shaming the ugly ones; most tyms, they make great homes.
Look at yourself too as a guy, would you want your sister to Marry a man like you? If No then work on yourself too.

#I married this woman last year becus she is so hot and all my stupid friends kept DMing me telling me that am so lucky to get such a princess.
Now I spend more days in the bar than my home. The punny no dey sweet me again self.

Please y'all shud marry for love oh and not for the body...
A word is enuf for the wise.



Love this post. Nice one. M about getting married.
Thanks man

Ileogbo is not a village is a town ,a headquarter of a local government in Osun state so no need of buying roofing sheets
