ekwy nwa:

here is the original article care to point them out ?



How?



What laws are we talking about here?


What has the commissioner for transportation got to do with security threat issues if any? And what guiding laws are we looking at here?



Can somebody help me out with this so called regularization Mr. Kayode is talking about?



Concession is different from outright sale…. What are the exact terms of this concession agreement between federal govt and the private investors? The terms of the agreement should be made public so that people can discuss from position of knowledge.



Who are these regulatory agencies? What exactly is the role of the commissioner for transportation in all these perplexity?


What has crime prevention got to do with this?

agbameta:



Obviously, you don't know how to read and comprehend, it's in the main article and I'm posted the name of the agency and what they regulate under the law.


Please don't quote or ask me the same question again.

agbameta:



But GEJ gave you your Onisha port and he just gave you your own international airport so we are now even. You have a port and an international airport. Now do your thing and stop crying.


But the thing is, going by your mentality and tribal fixations, even if den give you the world, it's still going to be the same victimization and marginalization cries like babies..

When did Jonathan become president

I don't want to go into politics but you can see why Igbos are bent on supporting Jonathan just for the little he has done for us. At least he has shown that we are part of Nigeria and should be taken care of. It is like giving a man who has not eaten for weeks two sticks of biscuits; he will love you with all his heart and be willing to follow you anywhere. Enugu airport now has an international status and is already doing well, this is good. That Onitsha seaport stuff cannot really do the trick because it can not berth ocean liners. We are hoping that Ibaka seaport commences operations in 2015 at Akwa Ibom. This will be a game-changer for the economy in the East. Most Igbo imports would focus on Ibaka so that pressure on Apapa port is reduced.

Omo, you no smart at all.

0key: I have been following this thread and realised that there's a hidden agenda d LASG is trying hard to execute but d truth of d matter is, after careful consideration, it's going to hit d rock but it's all nice as they are worki
ng relentlessly to prove my private assertions right.

I use this medium to encourage the hardworking lagosians to b law abiding according to Nigerian constitution and stand firm on your right. The present intimidation is just a mere ranting of an ant.

Katsumoto:

If you read the original article, you will observe that the major complaint by LASG is the unwillingness of the parts dealers to subject their body to LASG regulations. An unregulated body can be infiltrated by criminals who steal cars, break them up, and sell in the open market. This is not different from the security posed by unregulated abattoirs who may sell diseased meat to the general public. Since ATM's point was that the threat could be reported to the police, my response was that there should be no need for any regulations or regulated bodies since the ever efficient Nigerian Police Force is present to deal with any threats.

The issue many of you have is the understanding of what a security threat is. For instance, it was reported in the news recently, that an abattoir was discovered preparing unfit for consumption meat. If meat sellers refuse to abide by regulations or subject themselves to the appropriate body, how will such a body protect society from such threats?

Have you heard of Standard Organization of Nigeria?
Please read up and tell me their responsibility.

deeptesting:

You are seriously a security threat to the unity of Nigeria for twisting the truth to suit your ethnic agenda, We all know that it is all about tax payment and not the regulation they are fronting...Please tell your masters to stop the illegal harassment of Nigerians who are conducting their businesses peacefully. There are organizations responsible for the regulation of importation and sales of spare parts in Nigeria and the spare parts dealers are under the watch of these organizations including the Nigeria Police Force.

OPC.NAIRALAND:


We have to listen and go with what the authority said, however different our views or perception. The govt is the custodian of society and order. We have a contract with the govt to make our society safe and whatever they need to accomplish that is a default consent by the electoral mandate that brought it to victory and power.

If you dont like what this Yoruba govt is doing, vote it out and vote another Yoruba in. Its business as usual!!

berem: There are so many instances where LASG imposes tax on FG properties. Festac Town is a perfect example. We all know FG owns Festac Town. Amuwo Odofin LG gives each festac resident a certain tenement bill asking them to pay some certain amount of money. The festac residents vowed not to pay that money. Amuwo Odofin LG issued threats through letters and still yet , Festac residents refused to Oblige. Festac Residents pay tenement bills to FHA.why should the Local Government request for bills to be paid? What right does an LG or LASG have to impose tax on FG properties? Just as there are Federal Roads and State Roads, there are also FG properties and State properties.

Red_Mullet:

The first time most Ibos will see the ocean was in Lagos.....they are used to Ezu Rivers and the river Niger they see while crossing westward...

They can't swim...

Katsumoto:

Since the nigerian police can solve all crimes, perhaps society can do away with institutions that regulate industries such as health, food, etc

No need laying down the rules and regulations, just refer everything to the police. In your highly myopic point of view, security threats arise only when the traders start carrying guns.


I have told you to try and find your level but you won't listen. Instead you go through a thread and reply firstly to my post and then get humiliated with my response.

On a serious note, I am not into guys, take your fixation elsewhere.

Katsumoto:

And no roads, hospitals, schools, airports were built in other states? Lagos was the only state that the FG spent money on?

0key:

U are not being objective because of some egoistic trait. Learn to follow issues from other people's perspectives.

babestella:

I am not disappointed at all at all your post, it has only confirmed that your mentality is not different from that of a 'THIEF' and I make bold to say this, if not for igbos who have come to the state to boost the economy and earning power of the state, people with the kind of mentality you display here would have taken arms to rob. I make bold to say that you are not different from a land grabber, a property fraudster, a covetous rogue who only feeds on the sufferings of other. Let me make something clear to you, you can never match the igbos, even in the next 50 years. Take all the igbos have, their houses, businesses, but you can never take their life's, success in all, is inborn, igbos are not born to be lazy, and they don't reap where they don't sow, that is why igbos don't beg for arm, they work hard to move on.

If you don't have brains, I can ask the dog to give you some, because even the dogs, goats, the rats and roaches are more intelligent than you diseases being.

You are not a match for igbos mr. Man go and get a life and stop waiting for when igbos will run away from Lagos because of your tribal heat; in order to take over their properties, don't wait, you may be surprised at what you'll get.

Katsumoto:

That is not completely true. Nigerian administrators have not been very bright. It wasn't that it was marginalized, most of the states were marginalized. But my point is that all states received the same sort funding. Calabar has a seaport, stadium, airport, etc. While only Lagos in the SW has an airport. There are more airports and stadiums in the SE than there are in the SW. At the time, these decisions were made, Rivers and other SE states were in the same region. The SE only became an entity in 1999.

ACM10:

You keep repeating this line. I have challenged you to compare between federal projects in Lagos and Anambra. All you do is to repeat this old and tired comment.

true2god: Ur response just got my attention. In the last 25yrs the population of Abuja is less than 200,000, but today its over 4million. Why? There is a lot of federal presense in Abuja, embassies and high commissions, ministries, etc. So its very natural for pple to move there to get a better life.

Until the FG stopped this skewed develpmental processes and balance it evenly, this issue will continue. I wont be surprised if gwari\hausa pple wake up one day and start 'deporting' non-indigenes frm abuja to go back to their states after billions of dollars niger-delta money has been used to set up infrastructures there. This is exactly wats happening in Lagos.

The over concentration of FG's presence in an area at the expense of others is the result of current Lagos crisis. If the FG dredge the onitsha and owerri inland port, make onne port an import processing zone (like lagos), built basic infratrutures in the east (just like lagos), there will be a natural migration.

This is where the Yorubas should play a role by pressuring the Fg to even social-econimic infrastrutural development acros the country.
