PrinceOfLagos:
Stop wishing another man death

Play your politics but never wish anyone death

Don't bother about people like this .
Abibatu Mogaji already took care of people like this poster before she died.
Anyone wishing people like Tinubu death will die before him.

Ovamboland:
You have fallen mugu for the signing away of immunity raised by PDP politicians who signed the same contract (Abuja-Kaduna rail $500m loan) they now complain about as at 2010 when they controlled the presidency and NASS. How can you be complaining against another govt of what you did? Is that not madness?

They know many of you are not smart enough to ask critical logical questions like bros, but your party was in charge when this same contract was signed. They know you are mere ethnic and religious bigots so anything against other groups will sell whether true or false.

On one hand you claim infrastructure is good and necessary, now experts say we need to invest. $80-100bn every year for the next 10 years before we can hope to dent our infrastructure deficit. But all FG earns is $30bn every year. Now you expect them to extract $100b out of the $30b and you think that is possible without raising cash by other means? Sad commentary on your intelligence.
No matter the loans we get we can't raise $100b we need, hence automatically with logic, we can't close infrastructure gap in 10 years. Do we then throw up our hands in defeat? No, but that's what PDP did, forget infrastructure and share and loot the money while oil boom last. This strategy ensure we have nothing to fall back on when the inevitable Oil bust comes.

The APC strategy is to identify critical infrastructure that can support our non oil economy, one of which is logistics/transport hence the heavy investment in railway and roads. Monies normally shared via looting was mopped up hence the cry of no money in circulation.

Because of the huge bureaucracy on ground and loss of 70% of govt income, it would be painful to further send civil servants home or retrenched. Hence the other option is to take foreign loans for infrastructure to help businesses lower costs, to expand and employ. The law does not allow foreign loans for any other purpose than capital investment and human resources. The moratorium is 7 years before payment is due, hence the loan GEJ signed in 2010, repayment started in 2017. The project took 6 years to commercial roll out 2016, so we had 1 year to run it before payment.
Lagos Ibadan SGR loan was signed in 2017, operations started in 2020, so we have 3 years to operate and positively impact lives and business before first payment is due 2023. Thriving businesses means increased employment and more revenue for govt, and better ability to repay.
Without bank financing Lagos Ibadan SGR might have taken 33 years like the critical Itakpe Warri rail to complete. Those riding the rails now would have waited till 2050 because we are afraid of loans or have no ideas how to pay back.
What many of you don't know is that not completing Itakpe-Warri- Ajaokuta rail was a major cause of delay in our steel ambition at Ajaokuta. A plant tying down resources that could create 50,000 direct jobs and another 250,000 indirect jobs. Once this plant starts working a few years from now, you won't understand this background, and might not even know you joined to oppose the strategic steps and decisions that made it possible.

I understand such logical and strategic planning and thinking is very strange to most Nigerians many of whom live for the day and can't connect actions of today with outcomes of tomorrow.

Most Nigerians can't think and this is why this country is in this sorry state.
They don't read, now those who don't read cannot think, nor understand how things work.
Na to sit down to watch African magic, premier league, champions league, play baba Ijebu, sure bet, drink and get drunk, get high, bleep olosho, gossip and blame the government for the sorry states of their lives.

FrancisDiote:
Did Ameachi realize that a train running from SEast to Lagos will generate more income and patronage? He won't see that because the FG is sentimental about infrastructure in Nigeria

Connect una train to the north, Kaduna and kano will be okay.
Don't come and burn Lagos again, thanks for suggesting Lagos anyway.

Odobaone:
I have used the train over 5 times and I can tell you it's the best thing ever in Nigeria

How can you do this to yourself?.
Haters are coming for you.

Ruggedniggaone:
Pdp don suffer,but I no blame apc,na pdp I blame they are too dull to play the role of opposition effectively in this country

The same opposition that Tinubu alone lead for good 16 years.
No wonder they always hate on Tinubu, the man raised the bar so high that scaling such height have become an herculian task for PDP.
Awon oni iranu.

NeverBrokeAgainG:
Niaraland has been hijacked by DSS
Seun don’t own it again or may be it myn44 and lalasticlala them that is deliberately suppressing any news that favors Biafra, Igbo And IPOB from making it to FP.

See even the Canadian law maker video where he disgraced Malami didn’t make it to FP but the moment that half baked quota system lawyer started making noise against madu they rushed and push it to FP, even the allied statement made by Chimamanda didn’t make it to FP but when she denied writing it they quickly push it to FP, even the Sefah Torah stuff had not made it to front page.
IPOB lawyer video saying Kanu will be out soon has not hit FP.
Bishop church statement saying Kanu represents 99.9 % Igbo didn’t make it to FP but every cooked up propaganda against Kanu and IPOB has been hitting the FP left and right.

Ndi Mgbu

IPOB no get money to build their own website?.
If una no get make una go build one, leave our nairaland for us.

mrvitalis:
The governors they are going for are worthless oga ...no body who know politics would join APC now

The only governor they gained that made sense is zamfara governor and even with or without him they would win zamfara

Obaseki was also whatless but useful to PDP.
You just don't understand political engineering, quit discussing politics.
Try jokes section.

Uteghe:
Welcome IPOB members and others. What I mean is that Biden may caution PMB against releasing Kanu based on Kanu's antecedents.

Haba I was hoping you would say pentagon is planning to rescue Kanu.

lagusboyyy:
What happen to their food please?

Very expensive and still no go belleful a heavy eater.

travelwaka:
It's crazy the food that you will spend 500 naira to eat here over there you may end up spending 1200 or 1500

You are a very honest business man.

travelwaka:
Please kindly reach out www.travelwaka.com/travelwaka_tours

Okay.

travelwaka:
Lalasticlala check out this beautiful place in Benin Republic

Lalasticlala should visit snake temple na phytons full that place.

Bluntemperor:
OP,(Tavei Waka),I would have said ,may be a local man,but I hold on!
What is the difference between EPE Resorts and the Badagry Seaside in Lagos State
Anyway since is for knowledge,we welcome your opinion,OP.
Those beautiful Palms are all around Epe,Emina,etc and all that needs is for our govt to develop it
to international Standards.
• by given these hospitality a Subvention for development and
• Private-Parnership for proper development.
We don't need to be going to Dubai,if our Nigerian Tourism is well developed but
Corruption ell not allowed it to grow.
This is where the Govt Officials are drawing the Dollars' illegally to satisfy their egos!

Chai you forget to include Nigerias famous suspended lake at Ado Awaye in Oyo state.
Simply wonderful.

BabaO2:
Buhari's killer herdsmen will not allow it to survive in Nigeria

And you believe there are no herdsmen in Benin republic?.
You better wake up and smell the coffee.

HEAVEN4444:
photo editing. just looking at that red earth tells me the place will be dirty and what kind of food is that for a black man to be eating ? where is the eforiro and amala and eba and ogunfe ?

Very beautiful place.

travelwaka:
More on the food, one thing i noticed is food is generally expensive in this country. If you are not an adventurer please just stick with what you know to be on a safe side

Food is the major problem in that country.
Anyway are you into tourism?.
I'm into transportation I use to carry tourists to somany tourists to these locations.
We might be able to do business together.

Gaddafi1:
Quite sad that majority of our politicians have no ideology and will only go in the direction of their greed. Obviously they are acting as appointees of the the governor when actually they were "elected" by their constituencies.
We can only hope that a law will be enacted banning elected officials from leaving the party that sponsored them to power. My two kobo

Eyaah sorry o.

sureukraine111:
Be coherent please!

Don't worry you will understand me in 2023.

sureukraine111:
That one is as sure as it is that the sun comes in the morning..

The issue is, WHICH PART OF THE SOUTH?

Jonathan 8 years (SS)
Obasanjo 8 years(SW)
Osinbajo (Vice for 8 years) (SW)
Emeka, Obi, Keleshi,shukwuma etc ( 0 years) (SE)

It is very evident where it should come from.

NB:I am not from SE

Don't hate the playa, hate the game.
The thing be say una no be good players, if only una no try to sabotage Buhari's government since 2015, I for spend my money to campaign for Igbo president.
But you see I'm a mature person, I understand every game played by your politicians and the military wing of PDP, the IPOBS.
So shebi una don dey threaten the whole country since 2015, shebi the zoo is trembling now what a great achievement.
You people should start preparing for Biabia V3 because I don't know if any Nigerian in a right frame of mind will vote for an Igbo president.

PARADIZEPRIEST:
FOR THOSE WHOSE SENSES ARE STIL NORMAL.
WHEN YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING IN THE NAME OF YA PPL AND YOU DO NOT CARRY THEM ALONG IN TOTALITY,YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.THIS IS EXACTLY WHT HAPPEND TO THE KANU.HE THREATENED HIS PPL TO COMPLY WITH HIS METHODS BY VIOLENCE USING TENSION/ BREAKING OUT PRISONERS AS TACTICS,AND ABOVE ALL WORSHIPING IDOL AND MIXING IT WITH CHRISTIANITY,WHILE USES CHARMS.THESE THINGS ARE EVIL.

CHAI.

Daytonbale:
who clamour for South South zone to be carve out from Igbo is it aboki or we? We South South have been clamouring to be out of the old Eastern region since 1961 because the Igbos dominate and marginalized us .

CHAI

ORIAYO70:
Dividing into South and North is okay, then we southerners can split to 1million if we want..

Yoruba will have nothing to do with Igbos, attachment is not necessary.

IPIGSRMUMUS:
Since he didn't sound like your terrorist caged dilector, Namdiot coward Cownu you won't agree with him.

He wasn't looking for your support anyway. He could care less what you and your think.
Irrelevant and inconsequential.

When people like Shoyinka were being hounded by Abacha's gestapo, Your fathers were sitting pretty in Abacha govement, eating all kinds of Fulani left overs.
Sunday mumu is on his own, Sunday only needs to hunt Fulani into extinction in Yorubaland and he will join the 401 Yoruba deities.
Sunday could have been the number 402 while still alive, but no he chose to play to the gallery.
And so the gods knew Sunday more than himself, " that Sunday is a liar " how can a politician call himself a freedom fighter?.
This kinds of rubbish only happens where people are dumb and as you can see, Yorubas are not dumb.

SARSCoV2:
Well deserved!

But the incompetence of the FGN stinks.


Kanu should have been served the Jamal Kashoogi order. I don't know why they had to bring him to Nigeria

This was a threat to the state and sovereignty of Nigeria. A terrorist that falls in line with Osama bin laden and Shekau. It was just a waste of aviation fuel bringing him to Nigeria.

Are you Vladimir Putin?.

jrjfjfj:
Oluwo of iwo is a mad man ,he must be banished from Yorubaland
He is useless to himself ,and to the entire Yorubaland.
GOD BLESS YORUBA KINGDOM

The owners of Yoruba land are beginning to speak up.
Olowu of Owu Kingdom, is not Oluwo of Iwo.
Olowu is a grandson of Oduduwa, he was already a king even when Oduduwa was alive.
Olowu was presented with the crown by Oduduwa himself, when Olowu was a baby..
Olowu's mother was one of Oduduwa's daughters.

onuman:
When are you going to overcome: Herdsmen issue, Boko Haram issue, banditry, adoption of Islamic Sharia criminal laws in a society of plural religious faiths, the issues arising from the rigged and lopsided political structure created by northern soldiers; the constitution supervised by northern soldiers?

The Igboho’s are more brilliant than you.

Abeg, take your eyes off the secessionists in the east. I am aware that religion has blinded many MURICS in the SW to look forward to Sokoto Caliphate for way forward, not to anyone in the SW.

But I'm a Christian, surprised?
Igboho's kind of education and orientation is different from mine.
I wasn't trained to burn down my house because of a leaking roof.
Of all the problems you listed in your comment, only the herdsmen problem concerns me.
As long as SW is able to overcome the " the so called herdsmen issue, which I believe was politically engineered " I'm okay with this government.
I'm not interested in in SE matter I'm interested in SW, what happened yesterday was not SW matter, people that came and was dispersed by police were not up to hundred.
The whole of SW stood up to make this country ungovernable for the military, that's how we roll around here.
Sunday Igboho will not be allowed to turn Yorubaland to southern Yemen, look for your allies elsewhere.

okoolori:
I am waiting for them bro... Been quite for awhile in this forum and some of this folks spew rubbish and arrant nonsense many at times... It's time to lecture them about what government is and what the law says...
Many keeps turning to fools everyday... Common sense no come common again.... This is gagging me each day that passes by... Our generations eating away coz of social media and hatred inherited age long...

I congratulate you for being able to decipher the brainwashing that's going on.
My former boss who now lives in America was equally sucked into these social media lies.
Someone was trying to make him understand what is actually going on, but he won't listen.
It was when I called him on WhatsApp and we began to discuss, that was when he realized that the same people creating the problems are the ones blaming the government and shouting for help.
May God deliver this country from hypocrisy.

onuman:
Again, too cheap a campaign.

Islamic Sharia criminal laws under Obasanjo presidency.

Shortly after retired northern military dictators imposed Obasanjo as president of Nigeria in 1999, swore him in with their constitution which Obasanjo never saw before then, he started to be resisted as Nigeria’s president by elements of Arewa through adoption of unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal laws by the 12 northern sharia states.
This 1999 constitution was first urinated upon by Fulani through adoption of sharia criminal justice system.

Only House Niggars like this Martins of NBA would cite a law written by his slave masters as impediment to his people’s search for freedom.

So you people agreed that Obj was imposed on PDP?, so who voted him?.
I remembered vividly that people of SW voted for Olu Falae.
This is why I pity Sunday Igboho hobnobbing with Nnamdi Kanu and joining him to give us head aches in SW.
Herdsmen issue can be overcome provided we don't politicize it. Herdsmen and cows are in Iseyin, Saki, someone just told me of their presence in Ado Awaye yet there are no misunderstanding so what exactly is going on?.
Whoever wants to play politics with people's life in SW will not end well.
Of recent an helicopter's picture was shared online, as having been caught by the villagers in Niger state.
The supposed helicopter was being used to drop foods and medical supplies for the bandits.
The word going round says the helicopter belongs to Abdusalam Abubakar.
The game is clear, the Military owns PDP and want that party back in government.
The former heads of states and their political collaborators in this country, are the power behind insurgencies and secessionists.
Unfortunately, both the secessionists and the insurgents are puppets in the hands of these former heads of state and their minions.
So Buhari should roast all of them, he has my support.

Joban2006:
This constitution was written by the military and their loyalist it is not a people constitution beside the constitution favour some part of the country .remember animal farm by George Orwell : "All animals are equal but some are more equal than the other ". This is the case of Nigerian constitution .

Who the loyalists?, was it not the AGIPS, it is a matter of chicken coming home to roost.
This useless constitution was written because of NADECO.

adebwalex:
You call someone a quack lawyer the first vice president of NBA. Can you compare your bed side certicate to his own certificate. I don't really understand how Big headed people think just because someone did not speak in support of your useless reasoning as now become an enermy when he speak base on his own idea.. You guys should at least get some senses...

This is what these cyber miscreants don't understand, I was watching how they were insulting one lady online yesterday, when it's time to take decision, people who do not subscribe to violent agitation will do the needful.

okoolori:
