Jah Man:

Wait until Abuja become as old as Lagos - being capital of Nigeria.

It is 50-50 situation due to corruption and compromise, but I doubt it if the regulating body wouldn't relax.

Whao.. remembered that when i got to Abuja 1986... mehn see Transformashun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Biafra diplomat:

Don't mind the "go back to your village Yoruba primitive tribalism" They forgot that Lagos is what it is today because FG and all Nigerians collectively developed it to what it is today, left to them, it would have been another Ibadan or Ogbomosho but because they have very short memory or chose to gloss over facts to score cheap points.
Nigeria is what it is today because of our primitive reasoning, can you Imagine a scenario where a native Nairobi man would tell other Kenyans to go back to their village or a Johannesburg native telling his fellow South African from Kwa zulu Natal to go back to his village?
Even someone as educated as Fashola made such stup.i.d statement the other day, when he said that Igbos should stem the influx of their people into Lagos yet he forgot that Lagos is not like other states in Nigeria, IT IS THE ECONOMIC CAPITAL OF NIGERIA! Look at how Abuja was a couple decades back, a complete jungle but moving the capital there virtually turned it into a world class city, does it mean the Gwari man would wake up tomorrow and claim they made Abuja what it is?
If only FG could pick out one city in each geopolitical zone and develop it to international standard, it would reduce the insults from some ingrates. Rubbish!

Wake up your thought to histories and stop deceiving yourself. How many cOuntry came out of former USSR ? Who claim the capital ? Only of recent Sudans used to be one .
Let govt do their own, for you develop your home before other peopLe home. After the civil only yoruba allowed igbo to reclaim their properties in lagos .
Or you still think that this country be one foreever, think wisely.

Top cicvil servants use to live in the hilton ; like a friend of the famil¥ said when the¥ moved from lagos to abuja he lived in the hilton for 2¥ears, and not to be bored he use to tell the management to change his room ever¥ month and sure he was a personal assistannt to IBB

Waoh.........some folks will come here to argue that IBB did nothing while he was the Head of state. And I keep telling those who cares to listen and who has memory to remember, that IBB is the architect of modern day Nigeria. People only try to discredit him because of June 12, and they forget other good things he did in Nigeria......Sai IBB

I see people dey claim rights again. Issorai. Abuja people una don hear now. Na Igbos use business develop una lands. Not the FCT ministers.

Okay Abuja people don hear. Now can we stop derailing now? This was supposed to be a sweet thread! Don't spoil it with your tribalism and inferiority complex. Thanks.

And incase you guys don't know! They do arrest wanderers and people who constitute nuisance in abuja city as well. And most time than not, they eventually send them to their families.
Anything from Lagos just always generate too much hype and attention.

speedyboi: BTW, that's Transcorp Hilton.....not Nicon Luxury

Nope! It was Nicon Hilton Hotel in the 80's, then a part of the shares was sold and it became Nicon Noga Hotel, then it was sold to a Company known as transcorp, so its presently called Transcorp Hilton Hotel. Maybe the name will change tomorrow! I know all this, because I started living in abuja in 1991 and we still own property there till date. Peace

How are Nicon luxury and nicon Hilton related? Comprehend! They re two separate hotels situated at two different locations.

How many buildings in abuja belongs to government? Abuja was developed by individuals and not FCT ministers...
