Beaf:

First of all, thanks for admitting the bolded.
Secondly, I am not singling out Lagosians; few other parts of Nigeria are swampland and many Lagosians do not even know that they are creek and swamp dwellers as much or even more than the average ND person (at this point, refer to the reason for the article). yet, it is quite obvious that the entire Lagos is swampland that is crisscrossed with creek upon creek.
Lastly, you obviously have no knowledge of who the native Lagosians are; otherwise you would understand that places like Iddo, Isale Eko etc are embedded in creeks and swamps. Maybe the people of swampy Ikorodu ain't native Lagosians too abi?
There's nothing bad in loving your creeks and being aasociated with them. N. Deltans love creeks, enjoy your creeks. When you mention creeks, Lagos doesn't come to mind even though Lag has streams too.

Thanks dude, I love my origins. My real grouse is with those who for some reason cannot bring themselves to admit the obvious, as is apparent with the likes of Dudu negro, Osiris.212, Mojibola, Standing5 etc (many false claimants with inferiority complexes who might not even know the route to Lagos).
A Lagosian pointing a derogatory finger at anyone else as coming from the creeks, is as ridiculous and foolish as a black labelling another black man with racist terms used by whites. Lagos is as riverine, creek filled and swamp soaked as the Niger Delta.

Fool, Lagos Lagoon leads to numerous creeks.

Now what is the name of your bushmeat overrun state? I want to make a yam farm at your governors lodge and help drive the squirrels and antelopes from the town center. I hope we won't have to climb trees to get there.

How can the word, creek be offensive? shocked
I am only here to cure stup!dity and ignorance, I'm sure that has already been made perfectly clear.

Re: Are There Creeks and Swamps In Lagos? by Beaf: 5:16am On Mar 08, 2012

Have I told you I am offended? I am simply curing id!ots.
Something on another thread made me think about a lot of the absurd things one comes across as a result of ignorance in Nigeria and this creek thing from Lagosians stuck out like a sore thumb.

What if I challenge you to provide the equivalent to this from Yenegoa? Would you consider yourself an id!ot if you can't?

Osiris.212:

Beaf  you and your thousand Ibo brothers combined can never do anything to SW. We are above gods!

Lagos is SW and there nothing all of you hypocrites can do about that, even when you keep on hammering the name"Lagos" alone to make look like its not part of SW.

LAGOS is state in South West even if you die a zillion times, the fact still remain! Don't over stepped your NL's limits cos am watching you with my missiles armed and pointed eastward!!! I like it bloody.

Shut up you noise maker. Now go(you kitchen inhabitant) and cook Ewedu soup for me cool.


@OP

It is quite ironic and paradoxical that the Yorooba's live in the creeks of Lagos while those they love to hate who came, built and live in mansions.

Yoruba's = Bunch of hypocrites and loudmouths. Always running away from reality and the truth.
Re: Are There Creeks and Swamps In Lagos? by DuduNegro: 5:55am On Mar 08, 2012
Lagos Lagoon, Lagos Harbour, Five Cowrie Creek, Ebute-Metta Creek, Porto Novo Creek, New Canal, Badagry Creek, Kuramo Waters and Lighthouse Creek

Beaf,

in fact, since lagcity will be issuing visa for your visit to Lagos, we want you to have a memorable visit.  please follow link to see some of our waterways and in addition, plenty other rich traditions like the Eyo festival.  I know you have seen a museum but have you seen an Eyo before?

Frankly this picture would traumatize any Nigerian born in a developed country.
It just shows how some Nigerians live on SQUALID stenchy waters.
God is very faithful, else humans shouldn't survive such conditions.
Re: Are There Creeks and Swamps In Lagos? by DuduNegro: 6:06am On Mar 08, 2012
hey Beaf,

here is the one on Bayelsa state where Yanogoa is since you want comparison.  The last post with Lagos came from the same website.  

Be mindful that they are trying to market Nigeria state by state. . . there is nothing to market here in your creek.  You sabi ridicule other people land. . . see your creek as hin be.  they tried hard to find pictures to market you, they even add oil pipe.   cheesy

It is absolutely impossible to come to terms with how people can allow their fellow humans to live in such hellish conditions. I wasn't born in a developed country, but I am traumatised by that pic. I wept the day I mistakenly set foot in Ijora Badia, its not just the sight and dehumanising degree of penury, even the stench and the colour of the water are indescribable; I walked round the whole place in a haze of disbelief.

The pic in question is from Makoko: http://jideodukoya.com/blog/2011/09/kids-clean-club-visit-to-makoko/
This one is even worse:

ol'boy you are smarter than this one.
Per the picture, the woman's scarf (head tie) is the same material as her wrapper.
In SE women hardly (if ever) use same material for both.

In any case, nobody from SS/SE would live in that type of squalor.  cool

Shut your stinking mouth fool. Do you know where SS & SE is located in Nigeria? Am going to create new thread on SE slumps here with real time pictures and interviews and until then be my guest. I will personally take the pictures with my camera.

The other stup!d Ibo man that was rescued from under the bridge in Lagos by NLders nko?

By the way, Beaf is a Delta Ibo. A vulture is still a vulture, no matter where he goes!
