Oh oh, i guess Ndigbo are looking for a reckless spending governor that would be rolling cash out to appease their greed. If you are not happy with the good work for which BRF receives high accolades then we can help you get more luxury buses in case the available ones would not be enough to take you back home. |

Billyonaire: Every analytical mind should try to find out, what percentage of the voting populace is Ndigbo, and if Ndigbo makes up to one-third of the voting Populace then voting for PDP will be monumental success and should be taken seriously. Being "carried along" is important. If you keep demolishing the "places of interest" of Ndigbo like their market, Stores and keep increasing the Tenement rates in Lekki Phase 1 and VGC where majority of the property owners are Ndigbo, then you incur the wrath of these progressive Easterners. ACN under Fashola did so great in rehabilitation of roads and engaging Area boys and beautification, but this Fashola's second term, he has done nothing, I have not witnessed any new developmental strides, the roads under construction are the PPP projects that are tolled and paid for, by our tax money, for the next 30 yrs under the LCC and the rail way line to Badagry is a loan from World Bank.... Ndigbo is a force to reckon with, and if ACN wants to retain Lagos, Ndigbo has to be "carried along". A word is enough for the wise__________ BillyOnairehow come it is only the igbos that claim they have such a large voting bloc?you seem to forget that there are people from all parts of the country in lagos.just because igbos are very noisy and noticeable doesnt mean they surpass other tribes in terms of population within lagos.igbos control ladipo,alaba etc.so what?how many igbos sell in owode-onirin?how many are in ile-epo? you say majority of the properties in lekki are owned by ndigbo,how did you come by the statistics?you assume its only igbos that can afford to live in lekki abi.igbos are visitors in lagos and when a visitor starts to demand the rights of an indigene,he needs to be reminded of the warm welcome he received from his guest. you say world bank loan is used to finance light rail,so what?was it the world bank that asked the government to build the light rail?besides your facts are wrong.go find out how the light rail project is been financed bloody igbotic people making ridiculous demands 1 Like |

Abbey2sam: Ibo's will never seize to amaze me,how many yoruba's has been given a political apointment in the east? I don't blame them ,it is the yorubas that are too accomodating and now they need a political seat in another man's state!what ever happen to where they came from...You are an ignoramus that knows nothing about politics, just shut your mouth. Democracy is about number, and politics is about using that number to negotiate in favour of the number people that constitutes that number. I live in Lagos, no Yoruba man can claim to have more rights than me in Lagos, Fact. I pay for every Goddam thing I own and use, I pay my damn Tax, no Yoruba person does me any favours, whatever you all mean by accommodating is laughable, like Yorubas have the right to come up to me and send me packing, aint you guys jokers, arrogating such powers to yourself all because you are a Yoruba born in the SW, I bet A Yoruba born in the SE can also come down to chase me away from Lagos all because he is from the Yoruba tribe. . How Laughable. . |

Am happy this is coming out, at least i have proof for my yoruba friend that "his people have no agenda for other tribes in lagos". My Igbo brothers' don't even waste ur time with PDP, they equally have nothing for ya.

From your posts it is obvious that you are another never-do-well lowlife underachiever. Research has shown that it is usually those at the lower rungs of society that manifest the highest levels or tribal and racist hatred. Successful people hang out with other succesful people regardless of where they are from. Lowlifes all hang out with their own type...looking for which race or tribe to blame for their awful lives. |

berem: I find it hard to believe this story! But if its true then its a pity that a lunatic will just open his infected mouth and talk trash! I don't think there is any other state in nigeria that has been more accomodating than lagos state. lagos state have treated igbos well more than even our own states of origin.so I will advise that dude to STFU and mind his business and stop painting igbo pple black! Do you know the meaning of accommodating? If shylock omo oniles,aggresive area boys,chauvinistic yoruba elders and civil servants,greedy yoruba landlords,wicked and ignorant LASTMA,tribalistic KAI,self absorbed yoruba moslems and very quarellsome yoruba women is what you mean by accomodating,then the oxford dictionary has to be re-written. Let me ask you; have you ever given free land,free food,accomodation,free shop,free cloth,and free drinks to an Igbo man? Do you know what it takes to survive far away from home without govt. Or bank support? Travel out and experience first hand,what its like |

Delafruita: Nothing in the constitution prevents any Nigerian from running for office in any part of Nigeria. Maybe you are not aware, but other tribes have ran for office and won in Lagos and Abuja (that I am aware of). Democracy is a game of numbers. As elections become freer and fairer, you will see more of this in areas with huge migrant populations. |

Who are those still talking about "Lagos was developed by Federal Government"? Please leave that for another thread; but certainly before the Oil Boom of the 1970s, Lagos was already a well developed metropolis. And certainly Lagos went into disrepair during the Babangida/Abacha era only to go through a revival during the latter part of Tinubu's governorship and having to do this by being self-sustaining; generating funds even when the Federal Government stopped paying it's "monthly allocation". As I said, leave that 5hit for another thread, and in any case it has been well thrashed out previously on so many threads. 1 Like |

Baba_O: They will never stop exposing their weaknesses and desperation?. Have they been voting for UPN/ACN before ? U think ndigbo are tribal bigots like u tiger faced apes? How did ngige win election in anambra under ACN? can a prominent yoruba politician win election under APGA platform in any yoruba state? u think we have forgotten about funsho williams murder? just to make sure PDP never clinch lagos? We vote based on personality and not ur yoriba tribal voting pattern that made ACN sweep SW even with worst candidate as Ogun, ekiti, osun, and oyo are now showing with no dividend of democracy to show for their much 'progressives' campaign deceit. |

I have read through most of the comments and I realised that nairalanders or rather Nigerians are really very far from understanding what a nation practising democracy really is. It is a shame that we have been indoctrinated by tribal sentiments and rancour. Why can't we discuss more about things that bind us together instead of spending time on tribal concerns. We have bugging problems: corruption, Killer diseases, like HIV and AIDS, illiteracy, poverty and all we discuss here is tribal issues. I weep for Nigeria. |

Classic Nigerian politics. I was telling someone on another thread that the problem with Nigerian politics is not necessary the system (presidential system, monarchy, military rule, parliamentary system, etc), but the practice and the first step to correcting our problems is good civic education. Our politicians have turned divide and rule into an art form. It's no longer about how good a politician is, is he able to deliver development, does his policy positively impact the lives of the citizens, no! It's about his religion, his ethnicity, his gender. . . Divide and conquer, so that we can steal without the citizens disturbing us. They are too busy battling themselves over ethnicity and religion to care how much we steal. |
