Slaves fighting their masters. Someone should give me the name of that movie.

Planet of the Apes.

Na wa o. Hausas don suffer. Which kain weak people them be?

Hausa's are not people, they are cows. Fulani are their masters

The northwestern part of Nigeria has also become gradually engulfed by violence, with much less media coverage because these attacks have been carried by groups with political affiliations. Zamfara, Katsina, and Kaduna states are the epicenters of the growing crisis. Most of the militants are Fulani, the ethnic group that spreads across West Africa and is known for being nomadic pastoralists, while the communities being attacked are mostly Hausa farming communities.

The current violent dynamic started soon after vigilante groups formed from the Hausa communities for security purposes carried out extrajudicial action against Fulani pastoralists as tensions mounted from increasing competition for land and water resources. Fulani gangs have now been attacking communities and killing indiscriminately in a bid to exact revenge.

According to Yusuf Anka, a political commentator based in Gusau, Zamfara’s state capital, quote "There is arbitrary taxation on the communities by the Fulani before they can plant and harvest crops. Everyone in Zamfara has suffered a personal loss to these Fulani".

I am a Southerner and an Igbo but you are foolish for typing this, you know? Some of you like to announce your superiority complex anywhere but fall short when political moves are being made by the Northerners that you love to demean...

if there is anything I have learned from Northerners, they are not loud-mouthed like idiots like you but they will teach you who is smarter when it comes to making moves...

as it stands, they have successfully clipped Southerners politically such that they can swing things in their favour for as long as they wish... but you are here trying to act like you are the smartest thing since slice bread when you should be thinking of how to turn the table in your favour...

Ode!

Only Fulani are smart. Hausas are monkeys. And who told you that you Southerners are not also monkeys? The whole of Nigeria is a zoo. That's why I live in the U.S.

I didn't know Hausas had access to internet and electricity-- let alone the ability to enter Nairaland and type a post.

I remember the thread very well, it was about SWDC. While i have my reservations about regional development commissions based on what we've all seen from NDDC and NEDC, i still support the idea. However, the demand for Lagos to get a special status is different from the demand for SWDC.

Lagos is the commercial capital of Nigeria and the former administrative capital of the country. All over the world when administrative capital are moved away from a city, the city is given a special status to be able to cope with peculiar challenges it would face as a former capital. Germany and South Africa are good examples.

The special status will grant the state additional revenue from the federation account and also aloow the state government make more decisions as regards economic activities without FG approval. If some of the issues raised by the hospital investors were within the powers of the state government, the hospital would have been built in Lagos and not Ghana. Issues like this is what the special status aims to resolve.

Bingo. Lagos is Nigeria's Hong Kong. Lumping it together with wilderness areas like Oyo, Osun and Eketi would be a disservice to Lagos. It needs to stand alone.

Sammy07:


And NEDC is what?

Let Lagos stand alone instead of dragging it into your SW politics. Outside of Lagos, the SW is a jungle.

Sammy07:
Let's see how it goes.
If Niger Delta can be given special status

And North East

Then what stops SW? That contributes majorly to non oil revenue for Nigeria?

It should be lagos alone getting special status, stop being stupid. Trying to include the whole South West is a poison pill for the bill.

Lagos’ state governor was dismayed to read about a new hospital opening in Ghana’s capital Accra last year. The name was familiar: the investors had come to his city — Africa’s largest — first, but looked elsewhere when it could not deliver the tax holidays and visa-free entry they wanted.“ These were some difficult moments for us, because all of the things they were asking at that time . . . [were] deliverables that were only at the federal level,” said Babajide Sanwo-Olu in an interview with the Financial Times.

As Nigeria reels from its second recession in less than five years and confronts a deadly coronavirus second wave, Mr Sanwo-Olu wants greater autonomy for the country’s commercial capital to allow it to better compete for investment with an African state with a far smaller economy than the megacity.

thatigboman:
how naa? U know all that by that your 1 picture and narrative abusing GEJ?

GEJ was a monkey. Buhari has exposed him as the biggest fraud in Nigerian history. And no one hates Fulani more than me.

BTW, what exactly did GEJ do for Igbos to love him so much? A few ministry appointments? This is why the whole of Igboland is filled with worthless leadership. You people are too tribalistic. What will Biafra look like if you plan to elect leaders like GEJ or any of these worthless governors? It will be worse than Nigeria.

thatigboman:
u are a real troll. He who alleges proves, though i know u know nothing in law

The load bearing elements are complete. Judging by that picture, they can finish the rest within 12 months. Do you live in Onitsha? have you seen the project in person?

thatigboman:
on paper, but your post say 'in pictures' show us pictorial evidence of your claim

You were talking as if you had strong evidence that the bridge was not near completion. Judging by the picture, all the load bearing elements are already in place. All that is left to do is build the road on top. Let's be honest, if not for Buhari, this project would probably have been abandoned.

Bmaster:
I know every truth about this 2nd Niger bridge,I would have loved to share it with you but I won't because I got no proof to back it up

Share with us what you know from the ground.

GetMeRight:
A monumental failure that has done wonderful things with plummeted oil price in 8 years, things that his three predecessors combine together couldn't achieve in their 16 miserable years with all time soaring oil price.

You are right. Buhari is bad, but previous Nigerian presidents were subhumans.

KosiGee:
The length of the old bridge is 1400m or 1.4km while the length of the new or second Niger bridge is 1603m or 1.6km.

Where and how did you get the additional 7.4km


Modified...The total length of the bridge including the road leading to it was never mentioned anywhere. It’ll be nice to see the photos if anyone has it.

They are saying the highway will be 10.3 KM, but that's unverified.

naijaking1:
Sorry?
You are not sorry at all. You are part of the corrupt and evil Buhari propaganda machine

Well, to me the bridge looks almost complete. What are you seeing on ground?

KosiGee:
The length of the old bridge is 1400m or 1.4km while the length of the new or second Niger bridge is 1603m or 1.6km.

Where and how did you get the additional 7.4km

The cost is staggeringly overpriced. Mozambique built a bridge of double the length for only half the cost.

thatigboman:
for where? Far from being near completed. Very far

The FG expects the project to be complete by 2022, https://nairametrics.com/2020/11/23/fg-says-second-niger-bridge-will-be-completed-in-2022-project-to-cost-n414-billion/

What are you seeing on the ground? Is there workman activity?

thatigboman:
the bridge can never be completed by 2023 except by miracle. The Op is just a troll

Sorry, I thought it was almost complete. Its too late to edit the page now.

oluseyiforjesus:
Nigeria d scam country
The money pple would have chop from this project will be enough to build 2 of it.....

True. A longer bridge in Uganda cost only $113 million -- while this one is over $1 billion.

Buhari has done more for the South East than all the Igbo governors combined.

Second Niger Bridge

manneger2:
Any place beautiful like this in Nairobi, since u are comparing with a single pix
This is maitama abuja

That is gorgeous. One of the best images of Abuja i've seen. Thanks

OrdinaryNigeria:
For the first time, I feel like hugging Ganduje. And my respect for him just soar.

Remind me, is he hausa or Fulani?

Mouth Mouth and you are here weeping and rejoicing? Dumb monkey.

Downtown Nairobi. Do you see anything this modern in Lagos or Abuja? Worthless Nigerians.

Here is a comparison between Abuja, Nigeria (first picture) and Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.

Keep in mind that Nigeria's economy is 4x larger than Kenya's and its population is 2x larger. Why then does Abuja look like a small random town while Nairobi is beginning to look like South Africa? Nigeria is a zoo, and Nigerians are its monkeys.

Nigerians protest for ENDSARS, but when it comes to common-sense development you are silent. Suffering and smiling stupid monkeys.

Here are more images of the tracks. The project is massive. They have already completed 80% of it. Just finish the damn track. Highlighted portion represents completed track. Red represents uncompleted portions.

#finish the rail

See parts of the construction site exposed for vandals to go and steal. Nigeria is worse than a zoo.

Sometimes, I wish the British would return and colonize Nigeria. Our people are so useless and incompetent that it is mind blowing.

Lagos is a city of 14-20 million people without an effective rail transportation. But instead of rushing to complete the blue line, the government has allowed the project to lay abandoned and exposed to the elements. Don't these monkeys know that the unfinished infrastructure is deteriorating? It is better to rush and finish it now then to let it rot and have to condemn the whole project.

Highlighted portion represents completed track. Red represents uncompleted portions.

If it was another Nigerian she would have stolen the money.

BastardWike:
"Lagos Highland" indeed. Yes, Lagos island has lots high-rise buildings built mainly by banks and companies for their headquarters as well as some government agencies. However, over 70% of Lagos, especially mainland and including Ikeja, has a mass of bungalows and one storey buildings littering everywhere. I always wonder why a heavily congested city like Lagos, with no land left and suffering housing crises will be filled with bungalows. It just doesn't make sense! Same thing happens in Ibadan, they litter everywhere with dingy bungalows stretching for miles and making the city to look like a massive slum settlement.

Exactly, this is why I honestly don't think these people are fully-evolved human. They must be 30-50% monkey. Lagos is a population of 20 million, and on the mainland you rarely see a building above 2-3 stories. There is no other country on earth where you see something like this. Imagine if Beijing, Manila or New Delhi was as low density as Lagos? It's unthinkable for a city of this size (one of the the biggest on earth).

Most foreigners assume Nigerians don't know how to build multi-story buildings (without foreign contractors) because in most Nigerian cities, that's honestly what it looks like. There is nothing like Onitsha anywhere in Nigeria except marina CMS. It doesn't matter how expensive the land gets, these idiots will continue building their stupid Bungalows with no regard to economic incentives to build higher.

Dedetwo:
How idiotic can certain dumbass fools sound in Nigeria? Who gives a ratass about what a goofy Indian thinks about cities in Nigeria? India, China, Vietnam or Philippines have population issues relative to land availability. Nigeria has its problem and will manage it accordingly. Only a fool will make disparaging statement about his\her people because one useless goon from India said something about erecting buildings. The poster of above junk added credence to the fact Nigeria is a basket of fools.

Nigeria has the biggest population issues.
