He mocked George Floyd’s cry of “I Can’t Breathe”. See who couldn’t breathe when he died. God has a sense of humor.

DomPerignon:
All these nonsense shows that Ibos do not have any regards for their hosts but most alarmingly, they don't even have any respect for their own traditional titles.

You can never see an Igala man declaring himself the Attah of Lagos or an Effik doing same and claiming to be the Obong because they understand the importance of their rulers back home and know not to ridicule the position by claiming such both within or outside their land.

But ibos do not respect their rulers and that's why they have this thing I refer to as Autonomous Kingdom syndrome which if you have been to the SE you will see it dotted every 5km.

Autonomous kingdoms are breakaway kingdoms that sprout up over kingship tussles. A section of the purported kingdom led by an usurper will rise up and carve hamlets out of their village kingdom and declare it independent and himself as the new king.

This autonomous kingdom syndrome is unique to the SE especially in places like Anambra , Imo and parts of Enugu.

It is unique to ibo land because they never had kings or kingdoms nor an empire to begin with just clusters of villages that went to war regularly against each other.

What they refer to kings today originated from the British created Warrant District chiefs that were positions created to instil a sense of centralized leadership. After the civil war , the Gowon military govt decided to elevate them to full tractional rulers as what is seen across Nigeria to act and serve as a go between the govt and the ibo populace.

Then came Nollywood with their brash and fictional movies that overemphasised on non existing ibo kings which later inspired usurpers to create their own kingdom from within another.

You can see how some of them on this thread do not understand the level of desecration committed by these old clowns in trying to crown one of theirs as the Obi of Lagos because such behaviour is normal to them regarding autonomous kingdom! Syndrome and the fact that they can never appreciate how tractional tittle holders outside the SE are revered and respected by their people.

This lack of cultural heritage in the SE and callousness and arrogance of not wanting to respect the traditions of others that leads to this madness.

It’s a complete disregard for others, considering they are outside of their traditional enclave. It also shows signs of instability. The guy that tried this in the UK has been identified as severely mentally ill. I his kingdom comprised of 3 people. I think they have been arrested for trespassing and are currently receiving treatment in a qualified mental institution. This is what should have happened to this guy and his co-rulers or subjects. It’s a blatant display of mental illness.

Some mischief makers are out there pushing this misinformation for the purposes of Dividing Nigerians because of politics,and you're getting worked up about it!!

You people should stop rambling and prattling over inconsequential things.

You think Lagos is like your State. You think all the Kings there just woke up and proclaim they are king after entering night bus from their village? He even put Nigeria government logo and corporate affairs commission. Is that who enthroned him King in Lagos? If it is not obvious to you then I am afraid this may require psychiatric intervention. No wonder Buhari wanted to open many Yaba left in SE. Plenty strange and absurd behavior down there. With all sorts of excuses to justify it.

Hahahaha. E be like the 1.5bn de him bele. He think he de him village wey anybody fit wake up, wear cloth de call himself king. Very strange and bizzare behavior. No culture or sign of good upbringing. A 65yr old doing such. If an elder can behave this senseless. No hope.

You are like a man with no direction.

There is only one religion troubling the entire world. Belut because you are a coward you couldn't call them out for what they are.

People were enslaved with the Bible. Christianity is not innocent. Till today, the people who are holding majority of Nigeria behind with religion are Christians. There is always someone doing them in their family, not the government. The fact is till today, predators are still coming into Africa under delivering Africans from their natural beliefs to a foreign belief on both sides. Many children have been abducted and sexually abused as a result. I think you are the coward here. Not able to face reality.

The wahala of religion too much for Africa. Abeg ‘make una drop all this religion. E never bring us anything. Just pain and death.

But Lagos! We want to export this type of leadership to Lagos. So we can start providing skill acquisition through Wheelbarrow. Funny people. With una 1200 AD brain... what an insult. Mtscw

professorPABX:
I didn't read your post but just observed you talk about Seaport like majority of people on this topic do out of ignorance, bitterness and for propaganda.

Country cannot force Ships to deliver cargoes to ports that are not on their routes. Maersk is at Onne Port. Ships move cargoes to and from Onne Port. Some people asked questions why DANGOTE use Lome Port during Refinery project when Lagos doesn't have the capacity to receive the 150,000 containers, they said why not Warri others mentioned Portharcourt (Abonema or Onne).

I don't want to delve into technicalities. Intel Logistics and other private investors are driving Badagry Deep Seaport. Tolaram group and others private investors created Lekki Deep Seaport. DANGOTE has announced his intention to establish a deep seaport in Ogun State. AkwaIbom governor should let us know the Private investors that are driving the IBOM Deep Seaport. Before 2023 election battle, ATIKU was always talking about the progress being made at Badagry Seaport because of Intel Logistics. Politics came and nothing heard again. We need to know those investors driving IBOM Deep Seaport.

Calabar is very close to ECCAS - Economic Community of Central Africa States countries.
ECOWAS with Lagos as the economic hub is close to Cotonou ports, Lome Port, Tema and Takoradi ports in Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire port, Senegal port.

If I want to ship something to and from Nigeria, I can choose the route and the port I want it delivered to. That is what a lot of importers are doing. If I am an importer, I am shipping to the port with the most people. It’s business, not sentiments. Guaranteed my goods will move and sell faster. That way, Ships will also consider if it is worth it allocating a whole ship to deliver 5-10 containers. Wasting salary, fuel and resources. They will cancel that route and only provide a route where 10,000 containers are going. It is just business for them as well. So, you see, it is business people making these decisions, not government. If you like build 1000 ports, if the market is In Lagos, things will remain the same.

Gerrard59:
I agree with the population angle. Nonetheless, the port activities attract companies and more people. So, it is a cycle > more people attract more companies which further attracts more people.

Anyway, I don't blame Lagos' elites, but those in Rivers and surrounding states. If they were smart enough, they would collaborate much better. To date, Rivers State does not have a sitting governor. So, it is not Lagos' fault. However, the country needs a diversified economy for growth to happen and for the unemployment rate to drop. The reality is that not every ambitious Nigerian can live in Lagos. Nigeria's economy ought to be more like the US, where at least three geographically diverse states are major economic drivers.

The truth is Nigerians all like to specialize in one business. Imagine the East now, 80% are importers. So, who in the East will patronize their business? They have to find outsiders to buy their goods, hence moving money and commerce out of their region. Most countries limit this by granting licenses to make the barrier for entry high, so people can find other things to do. There is no structure, so everything is abnormal.

If Nigerian hear one business is moving, 1m people will rush to do that business and crash the opportunity for people with the knowledge and the capacity. The country can’t grow with the way we are moving till the Governors come together with sincerity and craft plans for their region.

STOP POSTING LOCAL TERMINAL.


THE AVIATION MINISTER HERE FROM 20:00 CONFIRMS ENUGU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT HAD BEEN ABANDONED SINCE 2015



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfDI4TeVE7Y

That’s because your Governors are not doing anything but getting allocation from FG. If they come together, clean up their region and create trust between the airlines and the states, those airlines will come to Enugu. By the way, if you watch that video, it is very clear that there is a lot of activity and Air Peace and Ethiopian Air use the airport to many destinations around the world.

The summary of this is, all the things you are fighting Lagos for, it’s your Governor you should be fighting.

INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT THAT YOU CRIED AND CRIED WEN DEY WANTED TO BUILD AND SWORE IT WILL NEVER BE BUILT.



SINCE 2015, IT HAS NOT BE TOUCHED AND LEFT AS IT IS TLL DATE.


IT IS ONE THING TO LIE BUT ANOTHER TO BE A COMPULSIVE AND HABBITUAL LIAR.

U SAY THINGS THAT U DO NOT WANT OR MEAN PUBLICLY NOW, WEN A YORUBA MAN SPEAKS WE KNOW NOT TO TAKE ANYTHING HE SAY SERIOUSLY AND JUST PRESS ON.

You have perpetual victim complex and are a commpppulsive storyteller. Is this not the airport? You want everything Lagos has now, but don’t want to work for it or demand airlines use the airport. A foreigner reading your post will think it’s wheelbarrow they use from Enugu Airport to Lagos.

Gerrard59:
You are the one mentioning an ethnic group name; I did not. What I stated was narrated by a successful entrepreneur who thought (logically) that it is cheaper to import via Onne port, but his equipment got delayed. In fact, during his narration, I noticed he became inaudible when he started narrating how the equipment got delayed. His audibility dropped after stating that port officials said he should have used Lagos ports.

To date, Ibom Port has yet to be approved, despite Udom's tireless efforts.

You mentioned tribalism. What was the association between tribalism and Onne officials sabotaging the ports? You are trying to imply somehow Lagos is responsible for the Onne port not working. Even if the claim by Udom is true, if Onne port is free clear and attractive, Akwa Ibom will not have an issue or even need a port. They will only need barges. By the way, we all know that why Lagos is attractive is because the market is there. You don’t need to pay transport to move Goods to a place where half will rot because not enough people can buy it. But let’s keep deceiving ourselves and blaming a particular tribe. When people start to look inward and hold themselves accountable, Nigeria will move forward.

Even the Whites ran away from Calabar to come an situate the capital in Lagos. If they truly built the port in Lagos, they would have built one in Calabar too isn’t it? Even they saw that Lagos even then had the population and the port already making business easy for them. We were trading with the Portuguese in the 1400’s. Even old Lagos families will tell you that before slavery we used to travel by boat abroad for trading. My great grand parents used to trade several items. I wonder where they used to trade and ship these things if Lagos had no ports.

IF WE WANT TO DO BUSINESS IN ONITSHA, WE MUST COME CLEAR GOODS IN LAGOS.


ALL OUTDADTED SYSTEM THAT IS UNWORKABLE IN THE 21ST CENTURY.



VDM HAVE SPOKEN PEACEFULLY, THEY ARE HERE FIGHTING TO MAINTAIN THE STATUS QUO AS IT IS, AT OTHERS EXPEBNSE.

There is an international airport in the East, use it. Also, pressure the airlines to fly to the East. They probably refuse to because they don’t want to start being drug couriers unintentionally. Clean up your State and everybody will rush you. It’s just the truth. It’s no secret that Lagos is a major airport and the officials there make extra effort to catch drug couriers. That’s because we don’t have a high concentration of Yoruba’s trading drugs. It will be much harder in the East where local people will be afraid to catch these guys for fear of their whole family house being wiped out.

No Hausa has been President either since 1999.

Gerrard59:
I don't know if it is the same person I watched, but the one I watched mentioned how he prayed and even paid bribes to have his equipment cleared. He is from the north central. He was even told by port officials that he ought to have brought his equipment via Lagos ports rather than Onne port.

Nigeria has a big tribal problem.

So, how is this a Yoruba problem? Is it not your same people making life difficult? Same way they frustrated oil companies till they all ran away. Your Governors have stolen enough that will make cars start flying in your state but you people are focused on Lagos. Leaving the degenerates in your State to steal freely but try to hold other’s accountable. Leave Lagosians alone. We are focused on building wealth for us and our children.

2.9 TRILLION OF FEDERAL ALLOCATION SPENT ON LAGOS ALONE.


YET THE DEPLORABLES WILL COME TO CLAIM NA WE GET LAGOS?

A deplorable is one who street urchins tell to sit at home for 3yrs every Monday. And they do like Zombie. Those same zombie want to be advising everyone when they have made their home hell on earth. You want to come and transport your genius thinking to us in Lagos. Sorry, that is why our cultures is different. We are not fools. So fools can’t rule us.

STOP PACKING OUR RESOURCES TO LAGOS.


MAKE LAGOS A SEPARATE COUNTRY.

If Lagos is a separate country you will need visa and non indigenes automatically need to prove why they are there, who they are and what they contribute. Making Lagos a new country will even deprive you more. Are your sure you are ready for this? No fake drugs and second hand things will be allowed. I know that is immediate alleged discrimination for a few.

If we leave Lagos for una l, una go destroy am. What have you done with your States? State wey done de sweet like soup. But to cook am na problem. If you want to prove you are truly capable, start by turning your village to heaven. You kuku get plenty mouth. Use your mouth develop your state. If we gree for una, bomb blast and sit at home go de happen for Lagos.

This is madness of epic proportions. This is pure greed. No country in Africa is so bad to put yourself at this kind of risk. Put your phone down and don’t let social media fake life drive you to kpai in the sea. They need to start leaving this people to their fate.

Are they giving the bridesmaids husband there? Why is the sister fighting to be in bridesmaid groups? Why is the man cancelling his marriage because of his sister. Who is she exactly in the marriage? Will she not marry and go her own way? Will her brother have any say in her own marriage? Why is she forcing herself on this union? This is a good move by the husband, saving the wife to be from unnecessary future problems.

They are obviously both very young. By the time the guy tey for house based on all my family members must have say, when he eventually rush into marriage him go beat everybody that try to insult his wife.

Sometimes all these people that wash clothes mix up the clothes or can’t remember who owns what. Then they end up giving it away if nobody claim it. Ask your wash man.

Probably has mental breakdown. That is the code name for distress.

They have succeeded in making our politicians more richer because every penny will be looted.

Aid is bribe. They know nobody in the country is receiving it. That’s the small money our politicians collect to sell the country out. They collect $32m but the country will lose $32bn

Take all this juvenile YouTube and Twitter self hatred stuff away from Nairaland. If you have to come online to announce you are looking for man, then nobody wants you in the first place. But don’t speak for anybody or bully anybody into preferring certain people. 98% Africans marry Africans. I don’t know about black people who are loudest on the internet but live and breathe self hatred.

They were waiting for you people to come and do burial and leave. That body will not stay in that house that night. They will remove and bury it somewhere else. Sorry for your loss.

Same happened with Murphy Afolabi. Don’t put just towel on your bathroom floor. Buy bathroom mats that have grip below, also use rougher floor tiles when building your home. When coming in and out of the bathroom take your time. If there is water on the floor, don’t leave it to dry. Mop it immediately.

Meet them inud house and develop Lagos to a top tier destination. What is your problem?

In 1472, Europeans were living in caves and wooden shacks outside of their royalty. So what is new? In their palaces they shit on the ground like in a horse stable because there were no toilets in those big castles. Whereas in our mud houses we had latrine and out houses. Our mud houses were genius and practical. It’s cool in summer and warm in cold weather. It does not deplete natural resources and with time is absorbed by the earth. Even in ancient Egypt the commoners lived in mud huts. I am pointing all this out to let you know, mud huts are the best and most practical type of housing even till today. And even Oyinbo now build mud houses. Those red brick houses are mud houses, just for your enlightenment. Don’t insult mud houses again.

Osisikankwu nko? The very worst human being to come out of Nigeria. The person who started kidnapping as a business.
