this state structures are not producing Good result....i still think the regional govt is better...

9jatriot:
Even though I do not know what the role of exclusive and concurrent list is for, but I can tell you for free that even if you burn that list, state governors will look for another excuse.
My proof: Portable water supply and grade b roads are not con those list, how have the states fared in both items. NO state in Nigeria (I hear Calabar has though) has the supply of portable water to their homes. Those list is one of the long list of excuses we hold on to when we want to justify our reasons for not succeeding as a nation.

DexterousOne:


You will be surprised at how the states will function better when the exclusive and concurrent lists are burnt and discarded
Then a fresh one written up

How can the federal government that is in abuja be breathing down the neck of those in faraway Lagos, Sokoto, Yobe and Akwa Ibom?
The closer government is to the people
The more effective they are

Imagine Washington DC bearing the burden Abuja is bearing for 50 states

America would have since gone to the dogs

MrMcJay:
If you are in Lagos, nothing would happen to your property. There is a reason Dangote put his refinery in Lagos and nowhere else.

If you are afraid of takeover of your property, incorporate a Company in which you're a director and transfer ownership of the property to the Company. Thereafter, process your Title from the government in the name of the Company.

Cyberknight:


Exactly.
I've had the opportunity to work in both Ivory Coast and Rwanda (post-conflict issues) and we all know what happens when conflict burst out. Na to grab what you can and get out.

For those blithely saying that: "Oh, if Nigeria divides, you sell the land na", do you really think that the property market will assign a non-Yoruba in Lagos for example, fair or close to fair value for property they have to sell because they have become foreign nationals overnight? Really?

I own a couple of pieces of land in Lagos, which I have basically discounted, even though I am not selling, given that I really think that they could be lost to me at any point in time, because I see Nigeria falling apart at some point and I do not see Tinubu, whichever Hausa man and whichever Igbo or Niger Delta man sitting down calmly at a negotiating table to discuss the planned movement of peoples and transfer of assets across the new borders.

In such event, instead it will be India 1947 replaying on the world's TV screens.

DexterousOne:


That is your own opinion and you are entitled to it
Who knows
You maybe right about the Occupy Nigeria casualties

However
I know that this one is different

What has happened is pointer to what is to come
Nothing good came easy

It's very convenient for some of us to be complicit because of the comfort we have been able to build for ourselves
But when I think of what happened to Honduras and the possibility of it happening here

I just pity all these "upper middle class people "
Because when shit hits the fan
We will be the biggest losers
The vast majority of Nigerians at this point have little to live for and #WeDieHere is the stance they have taken


So think about it while you talk about how the agitation has been in vain

Occupy Nigeria o
Every agitation will culminate into something

Phraences:
This protest is turning into something else. I hope the protesters don't lose their advantage and goodwill.

There's quite some unsettled dust currently in agrotech more so with the default of Thrive Agric which was one of the biggest players. G
Fact is that it's still a relatively new and unregulated sector hence high risk. That said, there are still some gems there. I made some posts about this on the agrotech thread not too long ago. I'd like to quote some here but the anti-spambot is likely to pick on it...

The summary was to hold on for a while (upto 6 months to see where things are headed) or if investing now was to choose those who have not defaulted for a while and who have good evidence of significant investment in agriculture or those who their products well available.

Not holding fort for any as one should thread with caution, but for now, Agropartnerships and Farm 360 will be on top of my list should I want to reinvest. A visit to their media page shows evidence of significant investment and they've been paying so far.
Also, Farmsponsor isn't doing badly but can be difficult getting a slot. That said, there are other smaller firms there who so far have not done badly

i don't think so am talking of very wealthy ibo people not poor that have transformed Ago place Ajah ,kubwa and Sabon gari ....my close friend emeka just completed his hotel in kano is called mozida another one built the kano europeans centre all this guys can afford houses in America or put down 200k dollars to migrate by investments.if it general ibo consensus then they should not be buidling those properties ?They should be selling down and moving asset to biafra land .again Nodowka a ibo man from imo has over 7 new 50 bedroom hotel within Apapa all brand new built from 2015 he probably the largest hotelier in Nigeria and must are Located in Lagos so if it a consensus by the ibo why is he still buiding since Nigeria has notting to offer .....

Already lost. #EndSARS will be dead in Edo state by 4pm today with the curfew.

Once the #EndSARS protests was allowed to get into the inner streets of the cities, it was a lost cause because hoodlums were going to hijack it.

ahiboilandgas:
but majority .....young shall grow owns all this parks and properties Nationwide ...if I go to oyinbo and mazamaza this morning we can count over 5000 south easternrrs arriving Lagos with intentions of not going back untill they are 70 years.......what i expect is the reverse ibo moving out of Lagos and never coming back in masses not awaiting.....u waits for a confirmed fire...

ahiboilandgas:
In a balakanised Nigeria all the luxury buses will be operating from Nusuka to Asaba ...cos they will need custom check and visa from middle belt republic. Then after driving to kaduna u need another visa to arewa republic ....just to buy beans and tomatos

deepwater:


Your brain didnt tell you that those buses dont leave Lagos empty.
All these NL entrepreneurs and forecaster, so this is the brain you use to provide financial advise to people here.

ahiboilandgas:
south Easters will be the greatest loser on property cos the own more out their home land ...

maishai:


Have u done a check on the influx of other tribes into Lagos and especially Abuja.........Right now if u r looking for house help, The is a thriving industry among egun and French speaking people, If u talk fresh Veges there is a thriving industry among Northerners, If u talk of spare parts there is a thriving industry among south easterners................

Be careful of the narrative u believe, the fact that a particular tribe is dominating an area does not mean they own substantial property there.


It's not only south easterners that are seeing opportunity in Lagos

Iwanttoto:


U seem to be a

Cyberknight:


And who are these so called "other" Nigerians, and show me the investments they have in other regions outside their own apart from Lagos and Abuja.

For the rest:
Because they don't want to.
Because they buy into the federal government's policy of suppressing development in the east by denying it serious infrastructure.
Because they too are ethnic bigots who do not see why they should "develop" someone else's land.
And as for Dangote's decision to site a refinery in Lagos, had there been any serious port infrastructure development in the ND/east as there should be or a reasonable prospect thereof, that decision would have lacked economic sense.

ahiboilandgas:
their serious blunders , breaking prison and attack RRS.

just2endowed:


Why are u using abusive words?

If you must counter his claim, do that logically or are you just attacking his opinion or he has something against you?

IamDavid:

It's really saddening to see comments like this. You think protesters will break into a prison and free inmates?... Come on, wise up. Grow up. Don't fall for cheap tricks. All those stuffs happening is just government's agenda to tarnish the image of protesters... Initially I thought it won't work on anyone, but sadly, few people like you have refused to see beyond what they show you.

Dont be silly son
Show me the abusive words


At your ages here, you shouldn't be found online making and taking swipes on other people tribe.

This is a man that claims to sell petroleum product that is not even obtained from the lands of his tribe. I am ashamed to see you all make some degrading statements about peoples tribe and think it is just normal.

Tyche:


Because that is the only source of tomatoes and beans you lying bigot?

I am short of words to describe my disappointment in some comments here. Most notably those from Mr Ahiboilandgas.
How then on God's green earth can Nigerians truly be one and united, when it's filled with individuals with a sickening mindset like this.

Waking up to read these views here, my conclusion is this:

A wealthy man is truly not one with all the money and investments scattered here and there. Trust me, (you may not understand this truth) with this kind of mental disposition, you are actually wallowing in poverty, even with all your millions in whatever currency.
