twosquare:
nothing is wrong with you. Nigeria has weaponised poverty to the extent that people think na metaphysical dey worry them. That's why religious jingles here and there sell.

lebete3000:


But I really wonder who sent all the poor people to goan breed.

Even me earning 250k/month is very scared to get married let alone breed, until I'm able to set up a business and pay my employees comfortably for the 1st 6months. But some people would want to prove sey dem sabi do kerewa pass you

360clips:
Note: most aren't even earning up to 100dollars in a month! That's horrible! Next time vote wisely! Stupid apes.

OritoJasi:


Oga rest. You probably didn't even watch the video for you to be yarning this your opata. FYI, unlike ibos that falsely claim to 'develop Lagos', it is African Americans that made the assertion in the video in question, NOT Nigerians as you are falsely claiming in your usual fashion. Besides, no tribe was attributed to the feat. So carry your okoto yarns comot here. You guys should seriously work on your inferiority complex, as a matter of urgency. Smh.

This is a recent quote

frankmoney:
This is what happens when you mix Islam with illiteracy and poverty that's total disaster

JohnBullMySon:
I believe the Lebanese had more cash (maybe due to a stronger currency) and could develop a larger area to sell. The Nigerians built personal houses mostly. That's why it looks that way. I'm sure it was the Lebanese guys who did the buildings that developed the landscape as well. The blame should fall on Chaugory and whoever is also in charge of banana island for failing in the landscape development and not people who bought land to build their houses. They corrected their mistake with Eko Atlantic, buh right now. Eko Atlantic is too costly for even the very rich to develop.

Aconomist:
I understand that people will be defensive of criticisms towards a city they over-identify with. But that's the stagnation mentality I'm trying to break. Do you realize Lagos is considered the second most unlivable city in the world? The only city worse is war-torn Damascus Syria. Things need to change.

McSquishi:


I don’t care if they look like Lagos. And there are parts of those cities that do look worn down and underdeveloped...

Americans can’t be compared to Nigerians as the histories and politics and culture are totally different so naturally the populations will face a different reality.

That was also beside my point.

samdunzo:


Us blacks don't like to hear the truth about our problems

Aconomist:
Do you think I make these threads because I'm happy?

Aconomist:
Then those houses must be TORN DOWN before it is too late. The longer lagos waits to do this, the more expensive it will be. If you want to use density as an excuse, here is Mubai, India. Look at how wide and pleasant their streets are.

Lagos will never be a modern city until this basic improvement is made to the transportation network.

Aconomist:
With a GDP per capita of $5,000 (according to the Financial Times) Lagos is almost as wealthy as South Africa on a per person basis. But foreign visitors to the city are often stunned by the subhuman conditions in the sprawling metropolis. The private sector is doing its part to remedy the situation -- pushing the cities skyline higher with multi-million dollar skyscrapers such as the Famfa Oil Tower, the Cuddle and Number 4 Bourdillon.

But even the most prestigious districts of Lagos -- Ikoyi, Lekki, and Victoria Island -- still looks like underdeveloped. Why?

The streets are simply too narrow for this level of density. This gives these elite areas a sense claustrophobia that no number of beautiful skyscrapers can improve. The first image is Bourdillon in Ikoyi. The second image is a similar street in Shanghai, China The wide streets in the Asian city allow for a smooth flow of traffic and make the area look wealthier and more developed -- even if you removed the skyscrapers.

PrinceOfLagos:
Tinubu is a shameless and dirty politician .

He called himself The jagaban of borgu but he shivers at the sight of ganduje, a corrupt dollar dollar babanriga stuffing thief of Kano.

Like what The Bleep would Tinubu belittle himself like this before Ganduje , what The Bleep?
Because of 2023 that he will still be denied presidential ticket of APC?

See the way tinubu Sat with his hands crossed as he explains himself to ganduje.

Mko and Awolowo towed this part but got disappointed at the very last minute which sadly led to their deaths .

Tinubu should remember history , the north will never support him.

Agbegbaorogboye:

Ok. Stop quoting me plz. I've had it with your nonsense. Go and read a proper English grammar text

Juliusmalema:


I hope you know u ain't making any sense because I know many yoruba graduates married to stark illiterates.

The reason I stretched this discussion this far is to allow you massaging your lies.

Sometimes in public forum, it better to keep shut than trying to sound foolisshhhh with an explanation.

By your submission, all Yorubas that went to school are married to educated men. Listen to yourself before talking next time.

Juliusmalema:


So yoruba ladies don't marry men without descent Job?

Juliusmalema:


You are saying Yoruba can't every marry Yorubas?

Where are the proper educated Yorubas?

Where are they ?

franchasng:
Control wetin Do you want some Russian kids to freeze this forum for life


What I said its the obvious truth na.....Yorubas backstab, condemn, attack, join Hausa-Fulani to marginalize Igbos politically and economically in Nigeria out of whatever reason best known to them.....since they hate Igbos that much and love Hausa-Fulanis so much, why can't they remove eye from Igbo ladies and marry more Hausa-Fulani girls they love, why is it difficult for them to do, why


You cannot hate something and still desire to have that thing na, is it not madness


Once its politics time, they wear their tall agbada and long cap and head to Kano, Katsina, Kaduna, Sokoto.....to discuss how Igbos will never become President......but when its time to marry fear won't let them go to their almajiri friends up north to marry, the will now rush back to Igbos they hate to start acting pretentious lovey dovey nonsense, I blame the Igbo girls stupidly accepting to marry them....and mostly their father who ought to chase them out of his compound with long cutlass, I hate nonsense

Juliusmalema:


Even if they are living in Yorubaland, the system suppose to be strict.

It is now becoming a trend and needs to be check-mated.

This is after effects of parents been loose with their children instead of properly guiding them from infancy.

SuperBold:


Na this kind behavior dey make ur women dump u dey chase Yoruba boys.

We will marry them all, Yoruba progressive culture permits that

Juliusmalema:
The time to Review Igbo traditional system is now

We are now becoming too weak and loose with our children

chrisblack:
Aderr you be small boy. You still get dream for Nigeria?

udomonday:
just goggle the cities with the highest number of skyscrapers in Africa and you will know where your so called Giant of Africa places.even by African standards Nigeria is a shit hole.what baffles me is why some people are so shameless about the stupidity lack of Ambition of our leaders.when last did you hear of a national ambitious project built and commissioned by the government.the only one that was initiated by the obansanjo administration which is supposed to be a National monument is now a national disgrace in the center of Abuja.the tallest buildings in Africa are currently being constructed in Kenya and Ethiopia and those ones will be completed and put to use.while the list of abandoned projects get longer in Nigeria.and by the way.how tall is the tallest building in banana island?.can you compare that to the ones in Kenya?.if you have not stepped foot out of this country so that those scales can fall off your eyes.at least you have access to the internet.learn about other African countries.go on YouTube and educate yourself.then you will know.

chrisblack:
tell me your dream and I will tell you how it will be crushed

Aconomist:
I don't even consider myself Nigerian anymore. This country is a disaster.

chrisblack:
go an read what happened to the man. Nigeria will always kill your dreams

udomonday:
coming up with an idea is one thing. actualizing it is another. they had look for a libanese company to fill up and develop the place.left for only Nigeria you will be only Seeing bungalows there. I wonder why we have lost our confidence as a people and nation. While other smaller countries are improving their skyline with breathtaking skyscrapers. e.g Kenya and even Rwanda.Nigeria is foolishly building 5to10 story structures and calling them towers.if you check the skyline of Abuja it has not changed from what it was 20 years ago.even the millennium tower that was supposed to serve as a national monument is in ruins and countries like Ghana have completed all the projects that were started long after it.even those that call themselves billionaire would prefer to buy a billion naira land and put up a 500million naira property on it.like the rubbish Mike Adenuga is putting up in banana island.Nigeria just needs to be re colonized.because the only period they was semblance of real confidence and development was when we were freshly out of colonial rule because almost everybody body had the oyibo mentality. that is why theywere able to develop the Marina district of Lagos island.since we lost the confidence as a country and people.you can hardly hear a Nigerian talking of building skyscrapers talkless of the government. The few tall buildings you see in Victoria island are owned by the libanese.
