The same way you did during the civil war?

If not for the magnanimity of other tribes many of your fathers would have lost everything.

But this time many of us are fed up to the neck with your stupidity and foolish boasting. So when the time come to divide the nation, there is no coming back for your people to reclaim your lost or abandoned assets, because we would have commandeered all of them for our own use.

So thank you for beautifying our environment with your mansions which will become our own in the end.
The war was lost ....based on few mistakes ...if he had separated ...lol they no born your papa to hold our land

I hardly engage Kanu supporter

You can also provide facts to back your arguement. You saying you dont engage a Kanu supporter is because you have no single fact to back your position. My question to you.
1. Who built the airports in Lagos?
2. 3rd mainland, eko, carter bridges?
3. The seaports?
4. The major roads?
This was built by the FG with money from the niger delta. So stop displaying your ignorance.

The other day I saw a video of transport system in Lagos dated back to early 60s. I wept after watching that video. Literally, there's no difference between Nigeria of 60 years ago and Nigeria of today. No progress, no development. Pathetic!!!

Courtesy of a rent seeking economy, devoid of real development and fueled by the likes of Julius Berger.

It is called the 'Berger Effect'. Its domestic equivalent is like a man who hires cooks and cleaners all the days of his childrens lives leaving them unable to cater for themselves and leaving them delinquent when he eventually dies.

Nigeria has not progressed because we buy instead of building. There is practically no piece of infrastructure we have in Nigeria that is indigenously developed.

Covid 19 has been a wake up call that we cannot always buy ourselves out of trouble. Nigeria will have been fine if we had a Julius Berger health and sanitary equivalent.

Today even recovered loot that normal countries will use in kickstarting their economies via infrastructural investment will, guess what, will go to the likes of the almighty Julius Bergers and co. Profits and dividends to fat cats in Nigeria and Germany with very little positive effect on the economy, zero effect on employment.

Only Nigeria and her fellow African dimwits do this and Nigeria has been doing this since independence. Has anyone cared to tally just how much this company has made from Nigeria since 1965. Sure the figures will be shocking.

This country has squandered its resources to a depth that bankruptcy is the only viable option going forward. We are beginning to see that.

if Nigeria dissolves today...the seaport in Port Harcourt will work fully, major oil companies would be compiled to relocate their headquarters to the oil producing regions. Where will Lagos get money from? Tourism?

My brother you have really tried. I wanted to comment on some of their foolish statements but to what end? Even their leaders know that if Nigeria disintegrates its Lagos that will suffer it the most. If all the 6 geopolitical zones become countries Lagos is finished. Each of those zones will have their own Air, Sea & Land ports; banks and other financial institutions will situate their Head offices at the new nations; Oil companies will eventually relocate all their assets to where they get their resources from; then everyone will go back to their Nation.
See how Lagos is during Xmas? That's how Lagos will be when Nigeria disintegrates, then how will the real estate economy of Lagos survive?
The Yoruba's know this and that's why they will never support the dissolution of the contraption. Because many of them will be poor. Dangote will pay huge royalties that he will just better move his refinery back to base.
What most of these simpletons don't know is that many of them will suffer and become poor if Nigeria disintegrates.

Lagos had been a contender on the West African coast for ages.

Why did Benin leave nearby Calabar, Port Harcourt, Warri to go enter partnership in far away Lagos?

Calabar was the first capital of Amalgamated Nigeria, not Lagos. Why did colonial administrators packed up from Calabar to go into Lagos?


Lagos is older Nigeria
Lagos has always been developed before Nigeria.
Lagos has always been rich before Nigeria.
Lagos has always been beautiful before Nigeria.

Get sense or I school you! grin

Colonial master and modern day nigeria were two different things entirely! Lagos was industrialized after independence hence the reason it was the former capital of Nigeria.

Lagos state is even under utilized considering all the developments it had earlier.

you crazy. Lagos can survive without the FG if Nigeria dissolves today. Infact FG stopped allocation s for four years to Lagos and Lagos survived. Question is can Abuja survive without a federal allocation today ??
You yorubas lie so much. FG never stopped allocation to Lagos, it’s only the local governments. No state in Nigeria including Lagos will survive without FG’s allocation.

Did you go to Ibadan and find Ibo missing there?

Have you visited Dugbe, Mokola, Ring Road, Challenge and did not see Ibo people selling their fashion wares and motor parts, or at Gates, selling their building materials?

Where are the Yorubas and the Hausas given the same liberty to sell in Enugu and Onitsha? If they try it, overnight all their stores will be looted by robbers supported by the whole indigenes.

Ibos want access to other people's lands while they are denying other tribes access to their own lands.

Very soon, it wiil be "back to your tents O Isreal" and then we will see who will be the ultimate losers.

What an argument. In elementary geography there is what is called the pull and push factor for population? The pull factors such as economic attractiveness, peace, infrastructure are not as much in the other Yoruba lands as Lagos, nevertheless you go to nearby Ogun state which is not Federal project as alleged by you and tell me if there are no considerable Igbo population as you claim.
Now, imagine if they stop selling land to your people because of such comment as yours, you will be the first to run outside shout marginalisation. Let us put behind us all these unprofessional sentiments and move forward.


They need the 'Igbo's ' money.. They can't just stop selling their lands cos they sell expensive to the igbos

Your view is that of 1960's not in line with present situation, Lagos is a state located in the southwestern region of Nigeria like other States in other regions, The kingship title is Oba not Eze or whatever you call it in ur village, the indigenous language is Yoruba, stop being obsessed with Lagos achievements.

How is Lagos during Xmas The same Xmas period that all A-rated artistes sell out shows like tomorrow no dey... Last December, the whole of Lagos was bubbling with shows from wizkid, olamide, burna boy, naira Marley etc. Who were those who bought tickets? Are Igbos the only ones who buys tickets for shows? Or the lagos' economy collapsed during Xmas when y'll leave for your home towns? Did Lagos GDP fall during that period? Did manufacturing fall? Did the transport sector collapse?? Did people not attend beach parties et all in December

Calabar never served as capital of Nigeria,there was no one entity called Nigeria . It was a conglomeration of three different administrative units having there headquarters in Calabar for southern Protectorate, Lokoja for Northern Protectorate and Lagos for d colony of Lagos. In August 1904, the two territories(Lagos colony and Southern protectorate) were amalgamated, with the combined territory called the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria. Lord Lugard was the governor general until 1914 when Lugard was assigned to the colony of Lagos where he brought all the protectorate together and called it "Nigeria". Lugard did this in Lagos and started operating as the first Governor General from Lagos which made Lagos the first Capital of Nigeria.

This claim is wrong. Calabar was only the administrative capital of the Southern protectorate and Oil Rivers Protectorate.
Calabar even ceased to be the capital long before 1914.

The administrative capital of the Southern Protectorate was moved to Lagos in 1906 after its unification with the oil rivers Protectorate.

Lagos is the first official capital of Nigeria in 1914 and the only one until Abuja

I always hear people say West Germany and am kinda confuse. Are they differentiating it from another Germany like South Korea/ North Korea for instance?


Someone should please enlighten me.

After the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, Germany was divided between the two global blocs in the East and West, a period known as the division of Germany. Germany was stripped of its war gains and lost territories in the east to Poland and the Soviet Union.

The capital, Berlin was divided into two: east and west. The wall was however demolished in 1989 and that brought about the unification of the country to what it is today.

You can google the division of Germany to learn more about it.

You are now insinuating that northerners are not smart enough to grab the opportunity in their land, but they are smart enough to determine whether you govern Nigeria or not.

ok let me do u the favour, firstly there is nothing like that again. it is called Germany
After world war 2, Germany was conquered by Americans from the West and Russians from the East, so they divided Germany into two, each controlling their German territory.
The West Germany as at that time was lively due to American influence, there social way of live, the standard of living, they even won the world cup.
So people from East Germany started migrating to west Germany which prompt the russians to build wall, later on the wall was brought down by the Americans which actually start the unification of Germany as a single country
