RentALodge:
High time that any further payments, such as development aid is no longer handed over to countries with high birth rates that cannot provide for their people. If and when an effective system of birth control is in place , monitored by the U.N., should aid payments continue. China has demonstrated that birth control can be made to work. Political correctness , religious belief systems and corrupt regimes have so far prevented common sense to have the upper hand, especially in Africa. If this continues, mankind and wildlife everywhere will increasingly struggle and ultimately perish.

The FG is indeed allergic to development, but the problem goes deeper than that, it extends to tribal and regional sabotage by the head of state or president in power, politics and shallow an shortsighted thinking to make sure one region doesn't develop faster than their or other regions.

What happened to the 1st Lagos Metro Rail system back in the 80's was pure tribalism and sabotage to slow down progress in the SW.

Lagos state lost millions of dollars on that project and in fact, till recently the FG was still deducting funds from that project from Lagos state's allocations, same with the Lagos state's first 271MW IPP, we are still paying for FG sabotage with allocation deductions.


Look at Dangote refinery in Lagos, this is the largest investment in AFRICA at the moment, we are talking about the largest single refinery in the world, largest petrochemicals, fertilizer plants in Africa costing over $14 billion.

The point is, this project was slated for Olokola FTZ in Ondo state, but the silly PDP state and governor played games endlessly with the project before Fashola jumped in and did everything under the sun to divert the project and Dangote to Lagos. That was a major investment coup and Mimiko should forever bury his head in shame.



Like I said before, Lagos don't give up, they just keep coming back regardless of the set back.


Eko o ni baje is not just a slogan, it's a state of mind, way of life, culture and call to duty...

Now i know why Mimiko no longer command respect in Ondo state, Jeez what was he thinking?.

hotwax:
[size=16pt]I can see pained people posting pictures of ancient city of Ibadan. Ibadan is an old city. We are proud of it. Yes the red roof makes it unique.

What else do you have?

Lagos and Ogun state are growing everyday. Modernizing. Osun state is growing too...[/size]

omofunaab:
Yorubas don't even need to unite with igbos.
We can always get you anytime we want.
We can control your entire race through your emotions just like Fayose, femi fani kayode are doing.
Infact those guys are doing a good job for the yorubas, they keep you busy, They give you topics to wail about, you echo whatever they have to say, their words becomes yours too.
we will Tell you things you will want to here just like kemi omololu Olunloyo did for many months.
Despite your hatred for anything north, your emotions made you chose dasuki a northerner ahead of buhari another northerner.
Your emotions made you buy biafra passports, a passport to nowhere
Your emotions made you believe whenever they say Vladimir Putin will send missiles to Nigeria so as to actualize biafra


The truth is you guys are weak emotionally, you let your emotions do the thinking for you instead of your brain and you will forever be controlled through your emotions .

We don't need an alliance with the south east,
We just need our media to tell you what you want to hear, then you will forever continue to do our bidding

ba7man:
And who exactly is worth uniting with in the SS/SE?

ArodewilliamsT:
You that you are not ignorant and myopic how have you fared in oshogbo and kwara. Mr 'bearded ustaz', the Igbos will not act to your dictate, If they irritate you, campaign for their 'banishment' away from nigeria instead of shouting 'one nigeria'. The East feeds you, they should tell you how to behave not the other way round.

MXrep:
yorubas should know that it is impossible for them to get what they deserve when the North has an advantage, This is a regime for the North, they destroyed a southern regime because it failed to marginalize igbos for them, now they have an anti igbo regime but they will only manage crumbs, so they should shvt up. Igbos will move en masse to the NE when the money start flowing there, milk the money and repatriate home

ArodewilliamsT:
Your sit down in air conditions and propose 1million% for kano down to Niger republic if theylike but the most important thing is that SESS holds the yam and the knife. Avengers, NDGJM, JDNDF, etc will determine what nigeria gets or not. As long as they are angry, don't be too sure the money will flow regularly.

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:
Some wailers go need this..

PentiumProf:
Keep lying to yourself
Keep telling yourself that all is well when in reality you are suffering
Your god tinubu is feeling the heat
Look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if this swarm of a country is not destroyed beyond redemption

PentiumProf:
We warned them
But they won't listen
They think we are envious of them
They don't know that what an elder sees sitting down a child cannot see it evan en if he stands on a tree

proeast:
What a sinkhole called Nigeria! Buhari has recieved billions of dollars from several sources yet the country keeps going down with each passing day. Now the present is hopeless yet the future has been sold. Anybody that still believes that Nigeria will survive if the status qou remains the same, is sick.

davidif:
Crab mentality, sometimes referred to as crabs in the bucket (also barrel, basket or pot), is a way of thinking best described by the phrase, "if I can't have it, neither can you." The metaphor refers to a bucket of crabs. Individually, the crabs could easily escape from the bucket, but instead they grab at each other in a useless "king of the hill" competition which prevents any from escaping and ensures their collective demise. The analogy in human behavior is claimed to be that members of a group will attempt to negate or diminish the importance of any member who achieves success beyond the others, out of envy, spite, conspiracy, or competitive feelings, to halt their progress.

Sanchez01:
Your post reeks of ignorance, largely because you don't understand the scheme of things. Before anything, Tinubu is a Yoruba man whose people would stand by him regardless of political ideologies. Fayose hates the APC but was quick to defend Tinubu, despite the fact that Tinubu's party is in disarray. Perhaps you might not understand that the whole of Afenifere would stand behind Asiwaju against Northern supremacists. The obvious winner would be the West because whoever they align with stands. Aisha Buhari's outburst is solely because of this.

QuotaSystem:
A welcome development indeed.

Any talk of reconciliation between PMB and Tinubu is a risk to the blood pressure of Fayose, FFK, Afenifere et al.

The SW must consolidate on its gains from aligning with the centre which are already emerging viz a viz several resurrected projects and management of the most important portfolios in this government. The wisdom of Pa Akande will surely help guide the meeting towards a fruitful end.

arresa:
Sadly for people like you, Lagos is shouldering the leadership failures in your states, towns and villages and your poor and jobless people can not put food on the table unless they enter the next bus heading to Lagos to add to the already congested situation in Lagos, to overstretch the already stretched infrastructure, health systems, roads, bridges, schools and and so on..

Or you are just too clueless to understand that Lagos can not keep up with the influx from all over Nigeria hence gridlocks, homelessness, lack of housing, not enough schools, not enough jobs and so on.

Lagos can actually fix this meaningless influx, all that the government needs to do is make frustrating laws like more and more lastma, kai packma flogma crazema and what have you

Lagos is spending billions every year catering to FG neglects like roads, bridges and so on when in fact the money should be going to housing for the poor, job creation and other alleviating programs that in return generates more more for Nigerians and Nigeria as a country.

More money for Lagos means more money for Nigeria.

More money for Nigeria means more FG projects and services in your towns amd villlages.

Beats me why you people reason so shallow and grossly backward to even hurt and deny yourself.


The Abuja clowns and mentally lazy fools including people like you think you are denying Lagos when in fact you are denying yourselves.

wellmax:
That idea is faulty. Open it for who and for what. Opening for 3 months can affect our economy for 2 yeas. It was imported to Benin, let them eat it there. Why didn't the importers come through Nigeria. That's the saboteurs we are talking about. Benin received the duties, let them look for what to do with it. They can choose to put them back on ships and send to Naija port.

priceaction:
That's it, just look at how many jobs Mills like that will create with such huge amount? But greedy and quick money is playing fast one there too while our so called importers like those Lebanese and Indians with the collaborations of corrupt government agencies make it possible for them to do. And most of the rice they bring in are fake, expired rice that has been in the ban for 10s of years .just look even at many chocolate too. No single or standard chocolate factories in South West or Nigeria as a whole while they bring junks for us and even come here to repackage it in their house.
I was with a Lebanese client 3 years ago in Apapa, I know he does some dirty importation like bringing nearly expired chocolates from abroad and supply shops like shoprite and goodies and so on. I even heard he repackage some expired goods that even come through boarders .
Imagine this guy was threatening a nafdac official with hire assassin because the guy seized his goods? I was hearing his conversation on phone and I was boiling in my mind. No agency can stop him as he claimed because he is very wealthy and influence.
The country needs to stop many of these to improve our local production and empower our youths, no matter how. China did not become an industrial hub in one day or by relying on foreign goods that can be produced locally.

Pidggin:
75cl of oil=N500
1Kg Rice=N1000

Believe or not, this will help an impoverished family eat for two to three days. Which one did your governor give the poor folks in your state?

devilson:
I have no problem with a s.east president,in fact I support it 100%.
s.east can present Peter obi,willie obianno,Charles soludo,or Donald duke from the s.south.

but will s.west nd s.east work together,both tribe are just selfish,full of ego nd meaningless pride,they should be representing the minority tribe in the s.south instead they are fighting themself cause of mistake of dead past leaders

Dosinspector:
Why do i find it difficult to believe this chibok story

IBBG:
i think where the op has a point there is if and only if the yorubas can reach out to gej then they can get the support of SS n SE. Gej though quite now, will be very influencial come 2019. Many political big wigs will jostle for his approval. cos getting Gej approval means you've pocketed SS n SE. I think he is that influencial and we see him as an elder stateman.

DeLaRue:
One thing is certain.

Tinubu MUST NOT quit Apc right now.

He should wait until around 2018.

His presence in the party will ensure the spectre of internal crisis continues - he should pull the trigger only when the party has no way back.

Opharhe:
Wow!
This woman, Abike Dabiri has sense.
With the seriousness of this Biafra agitation, especially from the most vibrant of them all, IPOB, I'm forseeing that Biafra may become an autonomous territory within Nigeria in the near future ... At least for a start.
The best way for us to go now is restructuring Nigeria to practice a better federal system, devolution of some powers, resource control etc.

Nigeria can become a model for a modern and progressive black society but we must do the right thing.
O Africans let us rise up.

blueto:
Gbam!

But the problem with APC traducers is the incessant and unsolicited criticisms, they criticized Jonathan's administration when they were the opposition party, and now they are still uphold such criticisms even when they are now the ruling party. The moment people begin to see and project others as the sole cause of their failures, the moment their performance begin to decline.

It is a pity that some people have decided to tag anyone who dissenters and opposes the flaws and contraventions of this govt as a wailer.

GoodMuyis:
Sorry the arms were not meant to protect the villager from herdsmen, but for political thuggery.

Consider this yourself, if herdsmen were to attack a village, how will they repel the attack if the weapon was stored in a room and not shared to the villagers. believed me I have stayed in environment where there is bloody conflict in kaduna, arms were shared among people for safe-keep and security flop like this.

The arm that was not given to the villagers how will that be useful to them at them moment they were attack.

David Mark a retired army officer must be investigated in this case

johnmartus:
This guy no get sense at all
