josite: fashola is wrong and must admit to some excess in his actions.even criminal matters are brought as if lagos is a country e'g.people of lagos ,the state of lagos vs opeyemi instead of dpp vs opeyemi.kalu will win.if they are Nigerians and they commit any crime,you try them in court , not deport them.

EmekaAkin:

Did you the IGBOS criticise when Fashola removed Yorubas and Hausas last year?? You are the greatest hypocrites

... they love it... they love hating on people for no good reason....

Dude also knows they love acts of cowardice...and its characteristics...


so that is what led to this development... and he is getting 10 pages of reaction as he has been craving....

I wish he will sue, I wish ass-ola will be taken to court....

but 7 days will come and go and... sadly, it would NOT be OUK that will do anything...

he's just playing politics with the political-fabric of the sophisticatedly-hating-cowardly oafs....


and where is Ola Johnson and his shapeless head when he is needed to aptly label this man the flattest head of all flat heads...

"onye ahu 'flat-head' ya ka nke m o, lee ya ka o n'abia.... 'flat-head' bianu were oche.... lee ya k'o n'abia" hehehe ;d ;d ;d ;d


Dude knows tres bien how yoobas react to tribal politics

francis4real: Am still repeating my self that Yoruba's are the most rasiest tribes in Nigeria, maybe that what makes them lack behind in terms of development, technology wise, etc

Big_Lebowski:

mandarin:


I like your assertions but if I may chip one or two things into your argument:
If I can have an intellectual discuss here with you, I can point out that it looks more probable that the region more derided on forums like this has higher success probability; the South-west and am just saying this not that am from there but looking at the pros and cons of nationhood.
I will justify my assertions based on the strengths of the other regions that may emerge as countries assuming the present structure is to be pursued albeit minor adjustments here and there.
South -South : Rich in oil and gas and aquatic splendour, oil palm and some arable land for agriculture. With massive oil presence and gas it can immediately export at least 800,000 barrels a day to make a wholesome money to develop massive infrastructures, ports and good roads and can surely achieve this within a decade under good governance.However, its problems are multifaceted and much more than its oil and gas
Compare this with the South-west : Rich in oil and gas not as the Niger Delta(until proven otherwise) but has just enough oil to kick start its economy may be meeting its domestic needs.By 2014 the region will be capable of producing at least 200,000 barrels of crude oil a day.That is beside what will likely happen in making some rich offshore claims as many as are being attached to the Niger Delta states will be lost to that region under international law, lts just keep it as that for now.
The south west region together with Yoruba in Kwara and Kogi( even if isekiri& Edo are not added) will have massive and rich arable land which currently is the second largest in Nigeria after the Middle Belt and it can grow almost every kind of crop seen anywhere in Nigeria.
The region will be starting on the good note of having working sea ports and international airport and an economy with GDP in excess of $70 billion.
The region's huge population plus many that will return from abroad and its huge swarms of educated and uneducated workforce can support its economy to grow at over 10% a year.
Aside Dangote group the Yoruba group have historically supported or administer the largest companies in Nigeria and its a show of their astute capacity to lead.
How will the country start and work?
It will have enough to support its domestic energy demand but will need to import gas
I predict its ports in Lagos will service the massive northern economy so are its industries
Its agriculture can be developed within a 3 years period to cater for all staple foods
With stable democratic mentality and rule of law, its political evolution will stun many
its multi religious culture will make religion a non issue

I think what many people on this forum think about the region becoming a big loser is a ruse as a strong possibility of the country becoming the third largest economy in Africa is there and will in less than two decades become the continent's largest economy
Immediate challenges
How to generate power to support its economy, Lagos is exempted because Egbin plant can support its economy in the interim
How to create jobs for its teeming youths that will certainly lose jobs but opportunities will open around the ports, SME trading sectors and agriculture

I think we must appreciate the fact that like the scriptures says....our body part for which we have low regard are often more important to our well being!

dagbenga: [/b][b] ALL I KNOW IS THAT IBOS OR IGBOS OR BIAFRA MUST GO

Big_Lebowski:

Yes. That's how it started in Nazi Germany.

First, they came for the infirm, then the Jews. From there they spread their tentacles against those who opposed them politically. Later they came for the writers and intellectuals until finally they came for me. Unknown Concentration Camp Inmate

For you information I am more of a Lagosian than you. My Great grand Father came from Sierra Lone and settle in a part of Lagos Island known as Campos street. My father married my mother who happens to be from Delta.

I am even more Lagosian than that Osun B@stard leading you on a long arduous road of ignorance and slavery.

ALL THE RETURNED SLAVES WENT TO SIERRA LEONE FIRST BEFORE COMING TO LAGOS AND THE ONES THAT CAME TO LAGOS COULD TRACE THEIR ROOTS DIRECTLY IN YORUBA LAND
Thomas Peters was born in Nigeria, and was an ethnic Yoruba of the Egba people clan.[3] In 1760, a twenty-two-year-old Thomas Peters was captured by slave traders and sold as a slave to Colonial America on a French ship, the Henri Quatre. Upon arrival in North America, Peters was sold to a French owner in French Louisiana. Peters tried to escape three times before being sold to an Englishman or Scotsman in one of the Southern Colonies and it is Campbell, an immigrant Scotsman, who had settled on the Cape Fear River in Wilmington, North Carolina.
In 1776, Peters fled his owner's flour mill near Wilmington[4] at the start of the American Revolutionary War and joined the Black Pioneers, a Black Loyalist unit made up of runaway African-American slaves. The British had previously promised freedom in exchange for supporting the war effort against the colonies that formed the new United States. Many former slaves joined the British after the United States had been established as a nation; therefore many were legally qualified to remain as American slaves.[5] Peters rose to the rank of sergeant in the regiment and he was twice wounded in battle. During this time Thomas was married to Sally Peters, a slave from South Carolina and he had a son called John (born in 1781) and a daughter Clairy (born in 1771). There is a possibility that Sally and Peters were once slaves together in South Carolina and that they reunited during the war.

backtosender: do your worst fool,ur brother and sisters are tribalist and hate development so i want us to think like boko boys if sense no work

Ola Johnson:
I may end this with you if don't want to learn. You are in River State but in Port-Harcourt. I was born and bred here. You only came to Emohua LGA for service and may be afraid to even get to Ikwerre LGA because of kidnappers. Don't forget, you are still a government child, ogogoro corper.

IYA NGBALI: you are not leaving lagos yet the place and the people are dirty,what an irony.. Vote for whoever you like in 2015,it wont change our stand of sending you back to your village,enough is enough,send my people back home to us. KOLOMU GBOMU IYA E

ubanett: FASHOLA HAS LOST IT, THE GUY IS MADD, ALA APUBA GO FASHOLA,NYA ISI MGBAKA

9icest:

Abi. The same criminal who raped his state financially and ethically is now making noise.
Mr. Kalu, how many people of Abia did you turn to destitutes, gala hawkers, baby making factories dealers, armed robbers and immigrants in foreign lands? Im happy you are dealing with a SAN, someone whose actions are always within the confines of the law. You can sue the entire Yoruba race for all I care. And Im sincerely DARE you guys should start deporting Yorubas. I SINCERELY pray you do... Please hurry and lets see what this fall-out will lead to.
Haba, the state says it doesnt want excesses of beggars, and prowlers without jobs or identity who do nothing but harm its citizens...na wetin

iichidodo: Yorubas and their big mouths. The hausa man that killed kudirat Abiola has been set free what can your people do but bury your heads in the sand like ostriches. Shame.

Pukkah: Some Nigerians can speak from both sides of their mouths.

On one hand, they want Nigeria to break up, on the other hand, they run away from acts that can quicken the break-up.

On one hand, they say Yorubas are cowards, on the other hand, when Yoruba take bold and uncommon actions like Fasola has done, they start whining.

If you're really serious about the disintegration of Nigeria and you're not cowards, why not respond in kind?

On one hand, they refuse to support the call for a special status for Lagos (as recommended by the Murtala administration when Abuja was created), on the other hand, they expect Lagos to cater for destitutes and unemployed people from its meagre allocation and IGR. Right now, Lagos is bursting at the seams.

On one hand, they jubilate when Fasola sends back Yorubas to Osogbo or Ibadan, or Hausas to the North, but wail when he does the same to them.

Should all roads lead to Lagos when it comes to freebies?

On one hand, they lampoon Fasola for not being a good administrator of a mega and unsupported city of Lagos, but they shed tears when Fasola tries to shed weight of redundant people from the state.

Honestly, what Fasola is doing is the best to ignite debates on the structure of this country. If you're bold, address the fundamentals and don't whine.

How much of VAT and Port revenues come to Lagos? How much goes to Kano? How much goes to Ebonyi or Ekiti?

Orji Kalu should please hasten the court action. This may well be the beginning of true fiscal federalism or the end of the faulty contraption by Lugard and his mistress.

dukkieson:

You are misinformed! Nigeria is not a faulty contraption. Most countries in Africa and indeed the world have several tribes among its population. The preoccupation with tribal bigotry is most pronounced in Nigeria and is becoming a favourite pastime. If every tribe becomes a country, there will be no synergy but a plethora of basket cases! Learn to love what unites you as a country rather than what divides you!
