mmark12: Whoa lots of UK haters in this forum. you can disagree with article but these hateful remarks shows that Nigerians still has a long road ahead. Don't mind them jare. The BBC REPORTER(not UK govt) might have got his facts wrong but that is no reason to rubbish the UK as if Nigeria is better. Uk remains one of the richest countries in the world and your brothers and sisters are still falling over themselves to enter there both legally and illegally. International millionaires & billionaires still remain queuing up to spend money in the UK in a way which Nigeria cannot even dream about at the moment. Where do you think your leaders and millionaires come to to clear their heads of the madness of Nigeria without mopol/army, and without the fear of getting robbed, kidnapped or assassinated? 1 Like |

Go and ask the bakassi people which they will prefer. The govt stealing their Land and making it the CAPITAL of Nigeria or the one GOWON did, selling it to another nation entirely. BBC una be mumu. una no get news! if only u knew the battle the yorubas put up when the seat of power was relocated to Abuja. In nigeria any tribe would lobby to have their Land "STOLEN" if the thieve is going to make it the capital of almighty Nigeria. |

Doff_Man: 100% agree with you Nigeria is no better yet these mumus on the forum keep abusing them. You can disagree with BBC but dont insult the country as a whole. 100,000 Nigerians per yr move to UK for university studies, how many Brits go to Nigeria for same - I can safely say ZERO PERSONS BBC vs NTA, which is better ? Nigeria is a kleptocratic third world country while UK is an advanced economy. Hundreds died last week at the Mediterranean sea in order to immigrate to Europe, definitely UK will be amongst their top destination. How many people died in the sahara desert last week in order to immigrate to Nigeria. My goddess some Nigerians need to think before they open their useless mouth 1 Like |

Good to see the BBC calling it like it is, without fear or favour, just like they always refer to Zimbabwean white-held land as ''stolen land''....... Oh wait! |

Igbo parasites are at it again. Stop lambasting the BBC joor. Abuja belongs to the Gwari people anytime anyday. FCT for where, the land belongs to the Gwari people. Buying a land somewhere doesn't give you automatic right of citizenship or belonging. You remain a guest and in the long run the land reverts back to the owners. My homeless Eastern brothers don't like the truth. 1 Like |

| Re: BBC Claims Abuja Was Built On Stolen Land by Nobody: 11:52pm On Oct 18, 2013 |
I think BBC means that the Land use ACT of 1978 further helped the federal govt to perfect the stealing of Abuja from the Gwari people. But I thought that britain helped to create one-Nigeria which should be united at all costs, and that Gwari people are very happy to "donate" their land for the sake of Nigerias unity?  1 Like |

luvable sam: The Falkland islands is in Argentina about 12,000kms away from britain, y does the UK claim it as part of their territory?..Pls the UK shld settle its domestic problems ,tackle their lack of natural resources and give back the falklands to Argentina before they talk about Nigeria... Oh yeah... very typical thinking of a typical black Nigerian man; attacking the messenger and not giving a damn about the message. Probably if it was your father's land that was forcefully taken from you by the government, and u were promised settlement and 35 years later, you haven't received a dime, then you would have been a bit more concerned to think like a wise human should.

ROSSIKE: Whether the writer is Lawrence Anini or his country stole the world, I am simply sick and tired of Nigerians always ignoring the message and attacking messengers... Would it have made it any different if it was a Nigerian reporter from NTA that composed the report?... In this case, I'm less concerned about the personality of the messenger. The real issue that any sensible individual should dwell on is if the Gwari people were duly settled or not as agreed with the government when their land was taken. This is the exact problem we have in the Niger-Delta; an insincere government. Call me whatever names you want but by all means, you are free to dwell in your deluded world of running after irrelevance. 1 Like |
