Clap for yourself.

So the Chinese went through 30 years of hell imposed by their leaders to become self sufficient and world power, eeh!

You went through how many years of slavery, how many years of colonial rule, how many years of Independece, how many years of military rule, how many years of Oddi, Zaki Biam, Beroni and Boko Haram massacre?

Las las you were one of the richest to attain the Poverty capital of the world.

These is what you got from comparing lack of freedom in China?

Buroda, think a bit nah.

rossoki:
China used brutal suppression to force self reliance. They banned virtually all imports, including food. Millions starved. And their middle classes had to use bicycles for transport, right up till the early 2000s, as all vehicle importation was banned.

There was mass opposition to these draconian policies for which countless millions of people were killed, tortured, and jailed, and many are still incarcerated till today.

Plus there are no civil rights. No freedom of speech or assembly, and one-party rule by the Chinese Communist party is the law.

Are you ready to go through the 30 years of HELL the Chinese people went through to be self-sufficient? If not - and I know you're not - then kindly STFU and accept the use of development loans and foreign capital.

Incognito403:
Very very true.

Many multimillionaires have low-key become paupers due to this reckless insurrection.

Yes, SARS did many evils. Yes, our government has done many wrongs. But is this reckless act the solution?

In the end, you killed many struggling citizens like you, you destroyed the investment of many citizens like you. You couldn't even touch the politicians you claimed to be against. What's the difference between your delusion and Boko Haram's foolishness?

I get, you feel justified because you've scored a political point against Tinubu. And that political point is worth any number of lives.

Latvin:
The level of ignorance is so high, driven by primordial sentiments. The PHC-Maiduguri and Ibadan-Kano rail lines still cross many Southern cities. Lagos-Calabar rail is in the works and will eventually be done.

The other day, Amaechi was remonstrating with the Southern Reps and Senators not to be impediments to the actualisation of the Lagos-Calabar rail project but they shoved him aside, now they will turn back to accuse him of not prioritising it.

The AKK pipeline is the third in a series of major gas pipeline networks to be built in the country. That overall gas plan was put in place in 2008 and the implementation has progressed since then. The first two pipelines run from the Niger Delta to Lagos (completed and in use for years now) and the second is the one from the East somewhere in Imo State traversing all across to join the first pipeline in the West (almost completed). The third is the AKK pipeline now approved and to be constructed, within the overall plan of industrialising the country via gas, put in place in 2008. But of course the ignorant ones will not have that background and jump at the mention of AKK as another Northern agenda.

My plea is for this govt to ignore the noise and forge ahead with their infrastructure plans. It will be clear soon enough to everyone about where we are going.

rossoki:
You're just a loud dunce.

Go and learn the value of RAILWAYS in the development of a country, and how they drastically reduce the cost of doing business, leading to economic and industrial development.

The USA became the world's biggest economy on the strength of its massive investment in rail.

Big mouth critic with zero thinking ability.

Fool talking about ''half the money will be looted''. Which money? No money changes hands. The loan is about China funding the construction of the railway. It is a contract to build, not to hand anybody money.

Olodo people. Only big mouth to criticise, yet you know nothing.

Aconomist:
I already told you, the coastal rail will allow for easy export of products from Lagos (and Lekki Free trade Zone) to southern and eastern Nigeria. It would also facilitate the import of natural commodities such as palm oil from Benin, Coal from Enugu, LNG from the delta, etc.

Here is a GDP per capita map of Nigeria. Clearly a SW to SE rail would generate more economic impact.

Sobasojek:
Youre not answering simple question. What would Lagos calabar benefit Lagos?

Lagos Kano will also be connected to apapa seaport.

Lagos state government is building a lot of infrastructures in lekki that will benefit Lagos state not those cities you mentioned up there


At least kano would bring more agricultural produce to Lagos state unlike those cities you mentioned above

samdunzo:
The funny thing is that line can be constructed with funds from Lagos state alone. But then, linking up the SE SW and SS/ND would mean improving the economy of the South while leaving that of the North. So, it wont be built for a while

Let be sincere,is Buhari not a bad ruler?
If not,may Buhari calibre rule your household the way he is ruling Nigeria.

shizzle1:
you pretended to be intelligent but ended up making a fool of yourself

What is wrong in their statement? Did APC not get votes in the south east? And how sis you know they are not engaging people from other region? This is a stake holders meeting that sought to reach out to every party particulary PDP and APC and the process of engaging and reaching out to others starts from the resolution reached at the meeting

Redcrafton:
What political allies did Obj have in 1999

Did he even know when PDP was formed?

Selfish people always find a way to give a d*g a bad name to hang it.

Golan007:
At least one person slaughtered but DJ Switch can confirm they were more than 22 compatriots who were massacred.

They really paid you people to trend Buhari's train? Like it's not tax payers money they used to get it? Like you wouldn't pay for a train ride? Like you're mad or what?

What a good news to start the year. Nice One, May God Bless the Agency that Carried Out the Arrest in Jesus Name I Pray

tollyboy5:
I'm not talking down tinubu but its glaring that he's not making democracy go smoothly in Lagos. Once you do well like Jakande you hand over to competent People and you move on.
But why dictate and appoint and act like you're a spiritual father or something. Do you know Lagos is lacking behind. We can acheive greater things with our population. Just Check stat of state that has Lagos kind of population around the world you'll know we're not faring batter as expected.


according to what I heard from some akure people they said what the governor was demanding from dangote was beyond imaginable , that foolishness on the governors part, its a pity the kind of greedy heart that becomes leader

He doesn't know when to sit back thats he's biggest problem. He's son is just like the face of Lagos. African leaders do have some kind of greediness that tarnish their image.

This the bigger question to ask. Epe division as been abandoned for too long. When ambode became governor while kick him out like you own Lagos! I'm from Epe and that will remain a big slap on me.
In this technology era Lagos gdp will continue to rise. Is there database on the amount of money agbero collect per day?
Is that how tax should be manage in a city ?
Why make hamzat deputy instead of governor?
If not of ulterior motives to rule a great state by proxy. Do you know state that has Lagos population around the world generate more than × 2 of Lagos IGR ?


Ipob are making difficult for other Yoruba's to share their opinion here.
The Lagos I see around iyana iba badagry, mushin, and other places are the real Lagos we can't show to the world.
Imagine mile2 blue rail right from fashola time till now is still under construction.
There no excuse for that if not of insecerity

Sammy07:
Tho you're correct.
But easterners have big people in Jonathan government too.
Stella, NOI, Madison etc

jimyjames:
my friend do your research well Lagos was part of the bini empire

and if you really want to point out to me the pre colonial achievement of the Yorubas then it should be in oyo Ibadan and not Lagos cause even during the regional government Era Lagos was on its own as the capital of Nigeria under colonial rule they built it, Ibadan was the capital of the Yoruba, South West had nothing to do with Lagos.

gwafaeziokwu:
Igbos are doing you a favour by giving you option to join them early enough. When Biafra is achieved , annexing the surrounding neighbourhood should be a walk in the park.

Only those who signed on from the word go shall have a choice spot on the table. Be wise.

Choi, shildren of 8, anger and perdition will crossover to 2021 with so much 8, anger, frustration and perdition.

oriyomin258:
Seeing some comments made by some people even after seeing the good development is not surprising anymore, there are people like this in every country and they are referred to as "enemy of the state".
The interesting part is that their region is the most underdeveloped and they are always among the minority in these countries.

jimyjames:
the igbos dominated and occupied those positions they had, by pure hardwork and merit, it wasn't given to them on a Platter of gold, the igbos you should know, weren't the favorites of the colonial masters, in those days people progress in their careers by hardwork not by Who Knows Who we have these days

Dedetwo:
It is called election, dude.

Dedetwo:
On the bolded, Zik never even dreamt of becoming the premier of western region of Nigeria. Azikiwe contested election into regional house of assembly from Lagos. The person who would have become the head of business in what later became western region was Adegoke Adelabu. According to AMA Akinloye, "Anybody from western region of Nigeria who did not run under the umbrella of Action Group and later became a member of AG, defected" including his very self. Zik left western region not because of carpet crossing but issue with Olorunimbe as representative at the national level. The British ran the University College, Ibadan and appointed whom they considered the best hand as the VC.

reality1010:
Igbos are Igbos, no matter what you say or do in your capacity you cant stop them instead they will keep soaring higher in every field of endeavor in nigeria and outside the shores of nigeria. Though Igbos particpated in the oup but the fact remains tha it was a Yorubas coup. We still see yorubas trying to replicate same agenda with Amotekun and Endsars protest but it is not working. Suddenly one of your professors have started yoruba seccession from nigeria. When you look at his ways of operation you will see that it is an agenda that has been there with them. Igbo are part of nigeria and will remain because they are everywhere.

reality1010:
Funny enough, that your people wanted Obasanjo to help you leave Nigeria during the civil war and Abacha time. And everytime you keep saying Igbos wanted to annex yoruba land. what a shame and self denial.

jimyjames:
my friend stop talking nonsense, the coalition between ziks NCNC and NPC never happened

jimyjames:
My friend you were not there when these officers were plotting that coup, so you can't tell me what their agenda was, and i believe they the plotters themselves said and they said it was never an igbo dominant agenda and that's final.

Awolowo who formed his action group party mainly on what he claimed to put Yoruba first should have been voted overwhelmingly by his Yoruba brothers right? They voted zik cause the loved him, right from the moment zik returned to Africa, he was outspoken and fought the colonial masters through his own personal newspaper that dominanted west and central Africa at that time, he had a lot of prestige among west and center African people



Internet propaganda is all it is, Biafra is well supported in the South South and only referendum can settle it, not some faceless social media fakers
