Pakute: Lol, Jubril A. Gawat is a savage. 18hrs later, Ilemona never post evidence. Na so dem dey do, dem go open mouth waaa like Peter Obi's shoe dey make false accussations, crying victimization and stoking ethnic sentiments, meanwhile dem no get Govt approval. if you build anywhere without Govt approvals, you are a criminal. All of una shouting "they are targeting ndigbo" make una cover una eyes in shame and cry harder.
Una neva finish demolitions...continue nah......una don tire? whether vindictive or not ,the demolitions will not deter the steady progress of the Igboman in Igboland or outside Igboland....we are children of Grace! Stanel launched his 5star hotel in victoria island even governor Sanwaolu was there sef! Igbos are like palms planted by the riverside...we cannot help but GROW!
ILoveNG: I remember my late grandfather once said "it's the behavior of the guest that will determine the behavior of the host"
A wise man he was
we also have a saying in Igboland it is the "guest that has the duty to say goodbye''! You did not demolish the property of the fulanis hacking off the fingers and limbs of yoruba farmers.......it is the hapless and harmless igbos that you maimed at the polling stations that you are doing gragra for! we shall see
Igbos don buy market for Yoruba hand. With the way it’s going, it will get tougher and tougher for Igbos to be accommodated in Lagos. But remember you guys fired the first shot. Go back to threads since inception of nairaland, igbos have been known to attack Yorubas and create anti Yoruba threads insulting southwest cities and even then, the nonsense talk “Yoruba girls are dirty” We are beginning to define the color of your problem and giving you serious problems, don’t cry, it’s long overdue
keep on pushing Igbos out.........maybe they will come back home and reclaim Biafra and throw you oil thieves from our land........nobody has a monopoly of nastiness!
These oshodi riffraffs will gradually destroy Afrobeat from inside.....they have carried their owomida philosophy to our ascendant music genre.........Amapiano is begining to nip at afrobeat domination...its a matter of time now! Afrobeat is drifting and that drift must be checked b4 this mumudeens destroy what has taken decades to build!
flokii: It's the docility of Yorubas that is making Lagos rot away in terms of infrastructure while we keep rejoicing over nothing... When are we going to check influx of Igbos into Lagos and other parts of Yorubaland? What are they looking for in South West that they can't stay back and develop their own region??.
These are pertinent questions people are shying away from.. If I am Governor, I'll round them all up and dump them on Onitsha head bridge. Fashola did it, we need people that will checkmate their mass migration into Yorubaland.
what are you looking in the east...if not oil! divide the zoo please
KEVIND: The way core Northerners steal, hmmm, even devil dey fear that kind looting. ( They loot in trillions). The worst part is that all they do with the money is to buy houses in Abuja,Niger & Dubai or build filling stations & marry plenty wives with latest exotic cars cruising the street of Abuja.
The day Nigerians realise that Nigeria na scam.......that day they will storm the streets in protest for Nnamd Kanu's release! The thief is going to use at least 50% of what he stole to lobby himself out of detention.......and mumu Nigerians will carry on like nothing happened! I have never seen any people like Nigerians..........is it naivety or just plain foolisheness or both....which is worrying you people?
oluztx: Another Yorubaa. The problem with Yorubaa people is they lack foresight when doing things, they think they are wise and strategic. Lord Luggard even said that they are so selfish to their own detriment. Tinuubu has been appointing mostly Yorubaas to all majors positions, he's doing this not knowing this is not Lagos. Northerners are watching, SE and SS are also watching. When the time comes, Northerners know whatever they do, SE and SS will not interfere. If Tinubuu was smart, he would have given SS more positions, even more than Yorubaa, because those will be your core support base. This what Asari Dokubo was trying to say in his last video, you need a strong support base to run this country, otherwise you won't last. GEJ had two strong support base in SS and SE. Buhari had core North as his support base which is big enough. Tinuubu now has only SW has his support, which is not enough if you are from the south, you need at least two, SW alone cannot help you. It's obvious SE can never support him even if he give them 200 billion because they vote on principle and stand by it, but SS he can buy given the oil, pipeline contracts and militant groups. Just my advice to him.
you are not the smart person here ! Nigeria is not a normal place o! Jonathan tried that rubbish the northerners still bungled him and his fiery wife out of aso rock.........where is jonathan today? Nigerian politics is the winner takes it ALL! You control the levers of power and the control of money that comes with it.......................Tinubu has given the Hausa fulani what they lust after...NNPC and crude oil!! Giving them education is a big NO for me! Education trumps oil by far in importance!
Igboland is not yet ready to become independent. In the last 10 years, Yoruba sons who are into oil and gas have built more than 2 powerplants in their region to achieve self sufficiency in power generation. Dangote has built the world's largest refinery in Lagos, all the telecom companies have their equipment and head offices in Lagos. The South West can be fully independent if anything happens to Nigeria because they have the 3 main things that make a country function: Electricity, Fuel and Telecommunication.
Now look at Igboland, hotels everywhere, housing estates up and down. If anything happens to Nigeria today, we are fvcked. No petrol refinery, no fully functioning powerplant, no telecommunication. Northern Nigeria has Kanji Dam, Shiroro Dam, Mambila Powerplant etc these plants alone can generate over 2000MW of power at full capacity. The South South has Afam powerplant, about 2 other Powerplants in Delta, Tony Elumelu recently built another either in Delta or Rivers state. They also have multiple modular refineries plus the Port Harcourt refinery that can be quickly repaired. South East is just there. No form of sustainability at all. IGR poor, power generation poor, geometric power has been making noise about their paltry 180mw power plant in Aba for about 10 years now, I'm not even sure it has started working up till now; no single refinery up till now, thank God for the Hausa man who built a 5000bpd modular refinery in Imo state but even at that, the refinery does not produce petrol and 5000bpd is too small for the South east.
I know I'm not in a position to tell Obi Jackson what he should invest his money into but, I thought this was the same man that wanted to build a 2000mw power plant in Okija at one time like that? What happened to that project? The most annoying part is that we have the wealthy individuals who can build these things but they rather build it outside igboland. The southeast suffers so much from petrol price hikes because the NNPC depot in the East is no longer functioning. Do you believe that despite this issues in igboland, the current governor of Enugu built a massive Oil farm in Ogun state instead of Enugu. He commissioned the project few weeks before the governorship election. We keep building important economic assets outside while we build unsustainable stuff in the east.
This hotel and golf course by Obi Jackson is good but I would have preferred the powerplant he proposed few years back.
Brilliant analysis.....except you did not link your thesis to the ever present marginalisation of Ndigbo! Most of all you listed here need the approvals of the central govenment! We are all witnesses the "creative" way the federal government nearly scuttled the Aba fenced off electric market that was awarded to Geometruic by OBJ..........The clueless buffoon Jonathan under the counsel of ndi ugwu allocated the same Aba to another buffoon Emeka offor .................some of what ails us in the southeast is external! Let us not be naive!
Pacesetterz: The NIPOWA shopping center being built at Amawbia is by far the only finest aesthetic construction in Anambra State. I doubt if the contractors are easterners...because an Igbo man will never pay attention to details when constructing...that building alone gave a breath of fresh air in that rugged axis...so beautifully constructed with greenery.
Then another building around there that also gave that Amawbia axis a sense of beauty is the new Jezco oil station. The colors look cool...the Anambra State Govt should adopt that sea blue and white as the states color...those yellow and black rugged colors carried by all Kekes etc,should be repainted to that jezcos color. Everytime I enter Anambra everywhere keep looking like a danfo region.
Bros put your pictures where your mouth is....let us see pictures of the Anambra govt house and the nipowa construction!!
Depriest2020: Same level since 4yrs ago. A time frame should be put in place for all land owners to develop their land or it will be revoked and resoled to a willing buyer that has cash to develop it.
you have not been following! you cannot force people to do more than their financial power can carry.......the economy is bad now!
Againstallodds: and it's very wrong for them not to make noise. When she make herself known,she will become a role models to so many of those young girls in the north whose only life ambition is to become a housewife and breed like rats
Let them use their "not shouting" to drag themselves out of poverty and early childhood marriage!
WealthyNigerian: Most already agreed on the skewed process where the Northerners took advantage of the fact that they were in power for a long period of time in the history of nigeria. But going forward things will start to change.
For instance, DSS has 37 state directors, 26;were northeners before Tinubu came on board in May this year. As at today, we now have 18 Northerners and 19 southerners. Tinubu reshuffled them quietly: 6 from southeast 5 from Southsouth 8 from southwest
DSS has 6 functioning directorates: All the 6 directorates we're headed by northerners before Tinubu came on board. He quitely reshuffled them, and now each geopolitical zone has a control over a directorate. Dr peter Afunnaya,the brilliant mind I have opportuned to meet on several occasions represent southeast
Let us support president Tinubu, because he means well and he will balance the power. If you are a Southerner working against President Tinubu, something must be wrong with you.
That is why I always get offended when southerners will be abusing a southern President and even prefer a Northerner like Atiku to president Tinubu, or siding Obi to disparage the same Judiciary whom Obi had benefitted from as a Governor.
What you must all know is Northerners love power and they will always put their people on top, all of them including Atiku, in the spirit of born to rule.
The same Tinubu made a christain southerner minister of FCT, the first and only christain southerner in the history of nigeria (The southerner that occupied the place before wike didn't have full portfolio, he occupied the office as minister of interior, overseeing FCT so technically, Wike is the first christain southerner so appointed as substantial FCT Minister
Before Tinubu came on board, Northerners occupied 28 out of 37 state command They would post southerners as commisioner of police to places like NPA, Airport,Railway, police schools etc BUT NOT STATE COMMANDS
Tinubu came and directed the southerner IG to reshuffle Now out of 37 state command Northerners occupied 18 Southerners occupied 19
Let us be praying for President Tinubu my people. He will balance the power equation that has been tilted against Southern Nigeria for decades. The success of Nigeria under President Tinubu is for us all as a Country.
Nobody hates Tinubu, he is just another nigerian politician...he should stop trying to alienate ndigbo........He is no longer campaigning sir, he should be seen to be cultivating a relationship with ndigbo,any attempt to intimidate us will fail! Let him release nnamdi kanu whether he will not get into the good books of ndigbo....he should stop listening to corrupt Igbo politicians like uzodimma ....instead listen to Alex otti and to some an extent soludo!
Lanrelagboi: Most of the people whose properties were demilished know that their building is illegal and not approved. The FHA told them, marked their houses but they ignored warnings and painted over the markings.
They felt they are above the law and NOBODY APPROVED THEIR CONSTRUCTIONS. The feeble attempt to turn this into a tribal fight is a waste of time
where were the FHA officials when the house were being erected ? Bringing houses in a nation with a housing deficit seems wrong to me! what they should have done was to regularize the development and forced the owners to pay massive penalties and relevant dues to government! Also they would have forced the people to tar the roads and provide drainage................those houses do not look substandard to me!
Jadiks: These are people's bread winners lying on the flow lifeless
where is the glorified nigerian boys scouts so called nigerian army when you need them! Any Igbo idiat that ever mocks Simon Ekpa again will be banished to the middle belt to witness first hand what happens to people who sleep with their 2 eyes closed in Nigeria...................ESN will continue to operate in Igboland whether the governors like it or not!
OlujobaSamuel: Hmmmmmm, as I've said earlier, those bringing in lasg into the case do not really have knowledge of the event. It's a FG thing. Some of them were genuinely transacting with the Local Govt(LG do not have any jurisdiction over building matters), those staff that knows no left from right, while those that knows are dubious, continue to collect money from them. Another group is the I don't care, na money e go chop. Then we have the completely ignorant set. Peeps, if you are buying any land with a FG or SG estate or barrack as a landmark, kindly do your research well, you might be buying a potential govt land. Also, if you are told to stop work over title matters or right of way, pls kindly stop work, you might pay fine if you circumvent building permit and the likes, but don't joke with ownership tussle and ROW
inoki247: Lol you people are ment so the girl no know wetin he dey du before she agree to marry him....
So far he no rob or kidnap whatever is doing to survive is not illegal....
Life is all about survival his not different from people who do hype man at club they worship you hype you to get money from you....
Some hypocrite that will come here to castigate him or say is an arss***ker ar in people DM doing Bambiala buh as dere own no dey on record derr mouth go open...
Ubi Franklin is out dere doing Nanny for Davido u think say is easy Neva be ashame of ur hustle if any woman wan leave because you're trying to survive nd doesn't like your job allow her go.....
yet some shame poor Ndigbo for selling gala in traffic!!
adamusuleiman1: He is not wrong..In same countries, If you get your car towed, you pay for the towing.
You build on an ilegal land or one without proper permit/approval, you pay demolition cost. Bulldozers renting and dirt clean up are not cheap.
Ps: Federal Housing Authority is the one doing the demolition NOT Lagos state.
what do you do to the government officials that watched and did nothing and in fact aided and abetted the illegality.......jail them! My take is that many of the houses that were demolished were not built on any such restricted areas....especially at Abule Ado! The festac extension case is neither here nor there...........since the houses were well built ,what the fHA should have done was to regularize the houses by collecting their full ground rents and fees...even penalties but to bring down those houses is sheer wickedness and victimization...........all those who are involved will taste the bitter pill of nemesis...................The demolition I am not against is the ones in Ikota that visibly were built on drain channels! The Abule ado and Festac demolitions will live in infamy ............Destiny will pay them back in full plus more!
As for the douche bag reno omockery , the turkey and k legged cretin can go down on all fours and continue offering himself to Tinubu but I trust Tinubu.......he will be used and dumped! Ndigbo are considerably more relevant to APC than a pound for a penny Quisling and traitor like omockery!
ElohimShenRa: His family in Anambra or Enugu would be saying “my brother dey obodo Oyinbo”, not knowing that dem don carry Kalashin take scatter him skull for Southy.
His vacuous people are the first to shout on every social media that Nigeria is not working, Nigeria is a zoo, Tinubu is a drug baron; when it is a known fact that every family tree or household in Igboland has a representative on death row or serving time in prisons abroad for Cocaine-Trafficking.
You sow guava, you wan reap pineapple? For where? Na for Jahannam you go wake up.
You are just a perfect fool! so its every igbo man that peddles drugs and no other tribe does so
No that's a lie. Igbos always knew he is Ijaw and so are all riverine people of Rivers State. I was the person who first posted his video proclaiming Ijaw on Nairaland . The person he had issue with is Asari Dokubo with Asari calling him descendant of Igbo slave whereas Asari himself is a descendant of Igbo mercenary. Asari is Kalabari and Fubara is Opobo.
Paraman: He will lose igbos support with this his careless statement. He shouldn't have said anything
You dey mind am but Ijaws are somewhat stronger cos of their stranglehold on oil deposits! if na to do am physical.......Igbos go lock door and flog the hell out of ijaws but its all good! Even oil and its relevance has an expiry date!
I really hope this and many more to come will stop our igbo brothers from actively interfering with the local politics of the Yorubas, which is most times always against the interests of the Yorubas.
What exactly does that mean! Igbos cannot vote in national elections again? How many Igbo people even run in local elections in the southwest? The problem is the the very large population of Ndigbo in Lagos.....it is intimidating.......we are crowding out our hosts...Period!! Our southeast governors especially of the last 12 years have been abysmal! Their lack of zeal and competence have driven a lot of our people into other regions! Soludo has good plans on paper but lack of funds is slowing him down! Good thing is that he seems to be a good listener! He said in a speech last week that a law is going to be passed that will mandate landlords in onitsha to repaint their houses......we need to develop our land ..
Obi Jackson and other Anambra billionaires should be less parochial. Why not build that hotel and golf course near Awka where it would draw more visitors than okija?
In fact it could be part of a broader Anambra plan to make the Awka metro area a conferencing, hospitality and services destination.
Less prominent towns like Okija makes sense for schools, hospitals, light industry or agroprocessing.
I am not sure if this is verified news.....one of the pictures is captioned "Hotel development Awka south" is that not the 10 storey hotel soludo talked about in his speech?

kukuma create oduduwanistan republique make we hear word! You are welcoming a nation that bans Nigerians from visiting their country but in your coven you plot to destroy the properties of your fellow countrymen.......anu ofia! I dont know why nairaland does not offer digital slaps on this forum..........I for rearrange your loose mandibles!
Through this, Yemi Cardso has given them a job to be looking for investors that will help shore-up their capital instead of looking for people who they will help with dollar speculation (as most of their top icons do now). Yemi has turn them to "invest in my business" marketers now instead of the Emefiele's style "buy low, sell high" marketers. This will help our naira in the mid-term as they will be forced to approach their dollar speculators to help their capital thereby reducing the fund availability for dollar speculation. I pray it is implemented soon.
Killing 2 birds with one stone! no be APC apparatchiks that made billions durin Buhari's 8 years of misrule? na dem dem! Good move if it works!
