Pakute: Are you talking about the owner of the scrap metal that landed passangers at Asaba instead of Abuja?.. Clown. His scrap metal fly in and out of Lagos. How can that mushroom airline ever recover costs if he doesn't route Lagos?. I'd take all of you serious when he cancels all flights to Lagos and reject Lagos money, make hunger finish una.
Are you talking of Lagos that has been voted,designated and recognised as the worst place to live in the world ? Thank God for the set of governors we have in the southeast now...........every Igbo man with sense in his skull should start a gradual move back to the east before you become a stranger in your own land! The time to shut this hostile people up HAS COME!!
How come he's working for APC? Cos only LP cares for Nigeria like this. You can see the LP governor, senators and house of representatives building roads, bridges, fountains, flyover, skyscrapers, refinery, etc.
I am a rabid hater of all Igbo haterz.........especially the corrupt sahelian savages( fulani) and the agbado urchins and their favorite sidekicks........the abominable jo men of yore (ijaws)...but this interior minister is a class act! A solid yoruba son like Adeniran Ogunsanya and Moolaji Johnson dem! Truth be told yorubamen of conscience are still fully on ground but the noisy ojota activists and the mc oluomo violent types no gree dem show face!
ozo13: Good luck man.it just politics and u didn't do anything wrong traveling out.The moment i see ppl criticizing someone to stay back and enjoyed what he voted for just because he didn't support your candidate, I already know am dealing with a weakling in politics and I try not to talk further
carry your warm comode of bullcrap and flush it down the toilet...........while you are it consider flushing what remains of your brain down with it as well! Rubbish!!
yewit37486: There is clearly a gap somewhere in the whole process, Nigerians sef don't hear word, so until the government starts ensuring CONSEQUENCES for developers and builders flouting laws, nothing will change. Same way buildings were collapsing left right and center in recent years including one at Ikoyi. There is a gap somewhere and it needs to be fixed for everyone's safety.
The biggest offender here is the government as usual! How can you allow omoiles to sell govenment land and canals...........to the point of allowing development to go on the the point of home sales....all of a sudden government undergoes an epiphany and starts demolishing everything in sight! Lagos earns billions of naira monthly on land transactions....they should invest in a robust monitoring and enforcement unit!
Paraman: Igbos won't rule Nigeria and they won't still get Biafra
If your charlatans like, make una burn down una potopoto region, no one gives a dam
This weasel thinks he is God !!! idiat that does not know if he will make it through 2023 is making projection for 35 million Igbo souls ! You know a fool by his thoughts and actions!
Pakute: You dey call your younger brother's mate Daddy, shameless thing. Shiite members always go to Abuja to collect bullets for ELzakzaky untill he was released, even bokoharam dey carry weapon dey attack prison to release their members but what have ipob cowards done since the Kuje lord was picked up like beans?. The only thing those cowardly pigs have done is lock up their parents at home every Mondays.
See this ugly toad with your agbado blubber lips....."an ugly mug only its mother can love"! MNK stood by his belief,fought and suffered for it...your own is to hide behind your keyboard at home and type rubbish! I dare you to show your miss piggy face! This one fit be a pastor ....but see the hate you spew daily against ndigbo.........you hate them but you still do not want them to leave you!
Kossyso: I expect Tiger Foods to invest heavily in advertising. He shouldn't relent. I hardly see any advert for his products. It's not enough to reel out products without adequate exposure.
If MTN and DSTV are still advertising, I don't see any reason why Tiger Foods won't advertise.🤷♀️. This also goes to all other industrialists in the South East. Anambra is doing well!
Adverisement is meant for products that you fear that may not sell! Tiger does limited ads for the eastern market where its based! I do not believe it has surplus production for the national market!
Depriest2020: Good, but Anambra needs at least 50 new indigenous company yearly for the next 50yrs, to meet up with Lagos as the 5th biggest economy in Africa.
wait now! we are not competing with anybody.......dey your dey please!
Ipobpigs2: Is it because the bag is the common package for drugs at the airport? It will seriously affect FLATS.
see your owomida face wey be like something wey dog chop remain! you wont crawl back to your crappy mushin abode with your puke inducing agbo seller girlfriends...........always talking about your superiors!
Pakute: - Innocent Chukwuma(innoson) - Cosmos Maduka(coscharis) - Clement Madubugwu(ibeto) - Augustine Ilodibe(ekenedilichukwu) - Ifeanyi Uba(capital oil) - Cubana chief priest - Chukwudemeje Onwuamadike a.k.a Evans - Victor Okafor a.k.a Ezego - Emeka Okonkwo a.k.a Emoney. From the above list, the first six names were products of ibo apprentice system, while the last three names were secondary school drop outs. While it is true that everybody wants to be successful in business whether educated or not, however, the society has a duty to raise questions when individuals begin to flaunt questionable wealth. With the exception of Augustine Ilodibe who took an advantage of mass ibo migration from the SE to SW and North, how did the rest of the names on the list became a billionaire?. This leads me to the rationality of the concept of money culture among the ibos. All the names in the list are model of money culture in iboland, most especially among ibo youths, they eulogize them and boast of them.
All of those you isted completed elementary school and even did some secondary school as well....they are by no means illiterate.......most can read and write to a functional level
LifestyleTonite: No wonder Obi came third in the last election. He lacks sense and doesn't know when not to talk.
When Soludo and Otti were demolishing houses in Anambra and Abia,. respectively, this LP third-placed candidate kept quiet. Dude now found his voice because it concerns the Lagos they have coveteousness for.
How can you say the timing of the demolition is wrong, all in the name of hardship in the land? When hasn't there ever been hardship on Nigeria and in the world? So, because of hardship, illegalities should be permitted? Armed robbery should also be legalized because of hardship, according to Obi with 419 sense.
He even insinuated that Government ought to not have carried out the demolition now, meaning it should have been postponed. This is another reason why he's not fit to rule Nigeria. So, he means government should continue to permit flooding caused by illegal structures encroaching on waterways in Lagos. Doesn't he know that while the canal's route is blocked, its water gets diverted to other communities which gets flooded. This leads to stagnation of water that causes malaria mosquitoes, typhoid, loss of property and dirty environment. These happen while the illegal criminals enjoy their mansions sited on illegal land. Sadly, when there's a flood, the descendants of those so-called mansion owners will mock Lagos.
What Peter Obi wants is a postponement of doomsday. This was the same way he supported Naira Scarcity. Now he's supporting illegality, yet hopes to lead Nigeria someday.
Below is a photo shared by the Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, showing buildings built to block a canal's passage. During raining season, where do the owners of those buildings expect water to pass through? Definitely, the water will find a channel that will lead it to where irs not supposed to go to, there y causing flooding in other communities. Obi wants such buildings to remain standing, whereas he demolished such buildings when he as the Governor of Anambra State.
He's a clown
you are the clueless mumu here! If all building codes and regulations wer strictly followed 50 %of buildings in Lagos will have to be demolished! Like Obi said all sensible laws should be enforced like reclaiming the canal right of way........enforced in ikota and Ejigbo but you see the festac and some of the abule ado demolitions will forever live in infamy..............there are many ways the demolitions could have been avoided! Anyway whatever a man does will be judged by posterity ! El Rufai did the same in Abuja in the early 2000s ...what happened to him later........he lost 4 sons back to back and he also lost a very young wife! I pity those who were involved in wrongful demolitions....I dont wanna be in their shoes going forward!
The Management of Chinua Achebe Airport, Umueri, Anambra, says it has entered an agreement with a private bonded warehouse operator to commence and boost cargo operation at the facilities.
Mr Martin Nwafor, Managing Director of the airport, announced this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Umueri, near Onitsha on Tuesday.
Nwafor said by virtue of the approval given by federal aviation authorities, the major thrust of the airport was largely cargo handling.
He said cargo operation had not fully started as the management was developing processes and procedures to prepare ground for smooth take-off.
According to him, cargo operations involve the people who own the cargo and the consolidators and they pull the cargo together from different people as well as the airlines which move the cargo.
He said the airport provided huge opportunities for investors wishing to build warehouse facilities, adding that the management was already processing the documents of those who paid processing fees and awaiting allocation.
“We are approved as an international airport but there are conditions that must be met to achieve it. We are working to get the necessary certifications by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority.
“As an airport, we have to provide the warehouse, work with customs and other agencies that are designated by the Federal Government to be involved in the screening of cargo.
“We have signed an MOU with a bonded warehouse, a private warehousing company at Nawfia. This bonded terminal has all the approving government institutions on ground.
“We are planning to build a cargo ramp and we have places mapped out for it, ” he said.
Nwafor said air cargo operation was not viable in Nigeria because of lack of corresponding exportable produce that could find their way to Europe, America or Caribbeans.
He said Nigeria should develop its agriculture base and put in place standardisation processes that would meet international standards in order to boost global acceptability.
According to him, the major problem that militates against cargo operations in Nigeria generally is that foreign cargo airplanes come in here fully loaded but go back empty, nothing to take back.
“When they bring in cargo, there is nothing to take back, they now fly to Ghana where pineapples are brought fresh from the farm, as a matter of fact, it must get to Belgium fresh in at least five hours.
“International standards must be met from clearing of the bush to harvesting; users in foreign countries are interested in the type of farm where these produce are harvested, and how well the standards are observed,” he said.
Nwafor said the investment in the airport had opened Anambra to the world as most corporate businesses and public sector visitors now accessed the state through air.
He said the major strategic objective of management of the airport was safety and that emphases were on building the capacity of the airport staff.
“You cover a journey that will take you 12 hours by road in 45 mins, negotiate your business and go back, it saves lives, it saves time and boosts image.
“At commencement, we were at 55 per cent, five months after our fire trucks arrived, more facilities are coming in.
The airport manager seems to be competent but his dressing is something else.........Aviation business is serious business and must be seen to be so! Every time i see this guy he is dressed down" like his going down to a pub to have a drink with friends.........He does not have to suit up but he needs to appear formal and appropriately dressed for the job!
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
Omoawoke: 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!
Unbiased1: 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
