GREAT THANKS, ( still not making sense of your statement about how Sullivan of Enugu is performing very well compared to "well" Fashola) The fact remains the same Enugu aint shiot the population is like 1/3 of Lagos' less people more )

The state has a population of 17 million out of a national estimate of 150 million. The UN estimates that at its present growth rate, Lagos state will be third largest mega city the world by Y2015 after Tokyo in Japan an Bombay in India.

Of this population, Metropolitan Lagos, an area covering 37% of the land area of Lagos State is home to over 85% of the State population.

Wonderful! So you are capable of disagreeing with someone without the insults? You are making progress, keep it up.

Afam-


For what it's worth, people love Fashola for a whole lot of reasons, not just because he's building roads and bridges, they equally love his style, personal character and governing style. Dude pulled them back from the edge of abyss and total destruction and he  is not your average Nigerian politician.

Simple stuff like riding around Lagos without sirens blasting and mopol beating people to clear road endeared a lot of people.

You might want to visit his website sometimes. Dude is out every single day doing something and touching people's lives, just check the dates on the pics and videos.

I stated earlier that the focus is on Fashola because Lagos is usually in the spotlight.

I was in Enugu sometime last month and I was shocked at what the governor is doing in that state. Security is guaranteed and basically non existent fraudulent practices as he personally inspects projects at night, does not move around with siren and all that. I am sure not many people know this, hence my referencing him.

I do not belong to the group that are desperate to prove that their tribe is better. I do not want to belong to the same group with idiots like larez and sjeezy8.

sjeezy8:
From your earlier post i thought you had some sense but now i see you dont. How can one compare Enugu with a population of 5-6 million to Lagos with a population of 15-20 million?  Not to mention the decades of neglect made by the Federal Government in regards to Lagos' population density. Fashola is doing 1 trillion times better than Sullivan Chime. Give credit where credit is due especially with Lagos being the smallest state in Nigeria while having the highest population.  Not to mention the many illiterate migrants from all of Nigeria, Niger republic, Benin republic and Burkina Faso. When Enugu reaches 15- 20 million poplation with a predicted growth to 25 million we'll acknowledge Enugu. But right now fashola is doin what he can and its like david and goliath.

Well, considering the high level of "intelligence" you just displayed by putting the population of Lagos at 15 - 20 million and the very stupid notion that while you are ready to praise Fashola for the work he is doing in Lagos and claiming he is a performing governor (by the way in comparison with others) you cannot stand any form of reference to another performing governor.

Only tribal bigots like you can descend so low like you have done.

By the way my reference to Sullivan of Enugu was clear enough as some idiots like you had earlier claimed that other states would not mind having Fashola as their own governor.

larez:
It may be pertinent to also mention that this thread is not about Enugu or Chime. This is a thread that was created based on consensus about Fashola. Even yesterday evening, I read in the news about him being labeled by a Northern Governor as the leader of all the other Governors. This Governor further requested that Fashola invites him to Lagos, so he could learn more about good governance from Fashola. Statements now being made confirms my earlier observation about some certain clowns thinking that they are in competition with Lagos and particularly Yoruba people. Lagosians are simply celebrating a Great Governor who truly cares about the people. Are we allowed to do this in peace?

We should all attempt to stick to the subject of this thread please.

Interesting, when you are not lying about anything, spreading hate you are typing out of point.

Where were you when idiots like you claimed that other states would not mind having Fashola as their own governor.

In case your warped sense of reasoning cannot get any worse, the moment you begin to compare Fashola to other governors you simply invite comparisons whether your pig head agrees with this fact or not.

Why don't you rid yourself of the Yoruba this, Yoruba that. There is life outside tribalism shithead.

Thanks. Nigeria journalism doing its thing again.

@topic,

Fashola is doing well but Sullivan Chime is doing very well in Enugu state.

Unfortunately, many people focus their attention on Lagos and wrongly assume that he is the only performing governor to the extent that some people would claim that other states would not mind Fashola becoming their preferred governor.

Saw a screaming headline on one of the evening newspapers that she fled to the USA while driving, any information on this from anyone?

If this is correct then this may go down in history as a classical case of grace to grass or put differently from award winner to fugitive.

@Beaf:

Do me a favour Bro, and delete those pictures from this thread. Don't you think it is sickening to be posting stuff like that online? These are bodies of human being such as yourself and should not be disrespected or desecrated. There is nothing comical about the slaughter of fellow human beings. You may want to also delete any other such pictures on your hard drive. It is truly sickening.

Do you know that you do more harm by the hatred you are spreading here?

Your hate filled and tribalistic posts are far worse than the images you seem to be complaining about but it is obvious you don't realize it probably because you grew up being thought that it was ok to hate another even when you don't know why you were being asked to hate.

You are a classical hypocrite.

Your explanation to the guy that referred to you as a tribalist is laughable because you think you can influence the impression people have about you. Grow up! People will judge you based on the hate filled post you put down especially when you cannot see anything well unless doing so with a tribal prism.

sjeezy8:
why not address nuzo?

@sjeezy8,

I did not address nuzo because he is not turning everything into a tribal supremacy contest as larez is doing.

I believe that we can discuss any topic under the sun, we can agree and disagree on issues without insults and definitely without turning everything into a tribal affair.

I live and work in Lagos and needless to emphasis the fact I have friends mostly from the West who do not sleep and wake up drumming tribal support for everything they come across.

Personally, people who see every single thing through a tribal prism don't deserve to be seen or heard because they are the very cause of problems in this country.

Yorubas with their rich culture need to be seriously cautioned. Stop yabbing these people about their comical clothes which consists of the used worn out Oyimbo shirt and the yoruba wrapper given to them as charity gifts from yoruba. Oh yes, and to top it up, they also wear Oyimbo hats and put feathers on them as well. Bad Yoruba people have concluded that these people were indeed savages before Oyinbo came to their villages. This is not right, and Yoruba people should stop. lol

See this fool. I'm talking about Lagos and you're talking about Yoruba. Fucking tribalist.

@Beaf,

Are you new on this forum? You should have known that the most unintelligent tribalist on this forum is larez. He thinks like a deluded fellow and yet doesn't realize that he sleeps and eats hatred and ethnicity.

I am really not surprised having come across some people that claimed their parents thought them to hate a particular tribe. Real shame.

illusion2:
Afam,una being get beef b4 ?

No. This may even be the first time I am disagreeing with him on this forum.

My problem is his choice of language where he clearly wrote that those who support the relaunching of Bakassi Boys are cowardly, immature and foolish just because he is far away from the hot zone and so can relax and type anything he likes.

nuzo:
I posted this comment earlier today in another thread.

I loved the idea of Bakassi when it was initially introduced in the east. Those guys brought back a high sense of security and balance to south easterners; Abia and Anambra in particular. A citizen could walk the streets of these states at any time without fear.
People who had blood in their hands seldom come down south, while those who dared; paid the untimate price for their sins. A notorious pastor; Eddy Okereke and the police nightmare; DERICO, were cut into pieces by the Bakassi boys.
Bad diasporans were inquiring from their friends and relatives back home whether the Bakassi magic detects somebody who has killed a white man.

The Bakassi boys carried out their barbaric yet generally accepted acts diligently until it was politicized. Politicians started using the vigilante group to harass their opponents. News had it that they began taking bribes, witch-hunting, intimidating innocent people and killing indiscriminately.
Factions emerged and the rest became history.

Having noted the significance of Bakassi in those days, it will be cowardly, immature and foolish of Nigerians to suggest such an archaic and barbaric method which could be filled with mistakes and overshadowed by sentiments to seek for security and justice in 2009. We have come of age where we can collectively demand from our government to build strong and effective law and enforcement institutions that can maintain security all over Nigeria. We should demand from the government affordable education, healthcare, electricity and employment as these will reduce crime drastically.
We should also call for the re-orientation, well equipped and well paid Armed forces.

It is easy to ask Nigerians to demand this and demand that because you are in China so you don't feel the heat.

If you were living in Nigeria or Anambra and if you had lost someone or paid ransom to save someone and still made the statement you made above then I would take you serious.

Stating that people who support a measure that has worked in the past are foolish, immature and cowardly is the height of your own stupidity because it is people like you that will run away from a problem only to tell stories about the problem later.

You must learn to agree or disagree with people without exposing your foul and disgusting side.

Horus:
We can escape from any conspiracy just by becoming united. The Time to Unity is NOW. We see that statement so often but to those that overstand, it doesn't get old, it only gets more relevant!! Time is running out, quick. We cannot afford to be part of shocked, unprepared and dumbfounded masses when it all hits the fan. By this time, and with all the knowledge that has been entrusted to us, we should have already established our own TRUE FREEDOM, our Own self-sustaining, self-ruled and controlled, prosperous black community that becomes a worldwide united black nation and so on. If we're expected to make it through what's coming, you better know we need to be in power by that time. Just making it is about to get even more difficult for anyone without sufficient resources. The thing that the average "African" doesn't seem to get or accept is, WE have to get it done. There is no "savior" scapegoat-copout that is going to come down and hold our hands, think for us, gently explain to us the location of our own asses, take care of everything for us, bubblewrap us and deliver us to our dream homes in our dream communities. WE are the ones that are responsible. Like the saying goes, the only helping hand I need is at the end of my own arm,  and I have two of them.!!

Excellent contribution. I agree completely.

Something that disturbs me is the duality of faith.

This man was coming out of the church on a Sunday morning and gun shots couldn't penetrate his body.

Seems like serving God (by going to church) and the other one (by going to a native doctor for juju) at the same time.

qblaze:
@Afam,

She obviously didn't leave naked and it's difficult to know when a woman is not wearing panties.

Sorry, I forgot to add the clothes she claimed was torn too. Maybe the pastor gave her his wife's clothes to wear.

My point is that if she was raped then she would have told her husband if it wasn't an extra marital affair she was having with the pastor.

qblaze:
“When I got to his house, I met only him at home. His wife and children had left for church. He explained what he had done for me concerning the job he was helping me with. Shortly after, he made some moves to lure me into having sex with him but I refused. He roughened me up, tore my pant and raped me. He also infected me,” she narrated in tears in court.

Did she leave the pastor's house naked since her pants were torn by the pastor? Why didn't she tell her husband when it happened? People are terrible and would do things as long as the feel they will not be exposed, simple.

@markemmi

It costs about $1 billion to generate  1,000 MW of electricity. That's N150 billion to generate 1,000 MW.  N1.5 trillion would generate 10,000 MW which will only stabilize the country's supply for a while.  We would need N7.25 trillion to be producing approximately 50,000 MW.

Interesting stats there but again, the most important question is this - what is our energy need today? Whatever the government comes up with how did they get to that figure?

With energy efficiency I can guarantee you that we can reduce the total energy need (no matter the current estimate) by up to 50% because as things are today it seems that the people in the energy sector do not know what they are doing.

Why would you have incandescent bulbs of up to 200W in the market for typical home use when you have energy efficient bulbs rated as low as 5W or 7W?

larez:
You are a nobody who hides behind the anonymity of the internet. Sounds like you are describing yourself. Everyday is for the thief, and one day will be the owner's. People on Nairaland not only know me and have my telephone numbers, but they also call me and meet with me. If you shout my name out of the window, someone will be ready to bring you to me. I have nothing to hide, unlike criminal minded hatas like you who find nothing good in Nigeria.

My igg button gets active next. I shouldn't be wasting time with non-entities.

Of course people on NL know you and call you, why not when they are trying to get the money you scammed from them. This is normal so don't see it as an achievement unless you are as dumb as an armed robber who was tied to the stake and was about to be shot who claimed he didn't know he was that popular considering the number of people that came to see him being executed.

I didn't know you were this dumb and silly. What a waste of orgasm.

larez:
Your papa, your mama, your granpapa, your granmama, all the people wey crawl out of the shrine human flesh eating village wey you come from, na dem be mumu and scum. Damned misogynistic nincompoop stalker.

Frustrated fraudster, it seems business is slow as 419 victims are becoming hard to get. This is how you pollute every single thread you contribute to with your low level of reasoning.

bawomolo:
why do you guys accuse anyone you disagree with as tribalist?

is that a new form of insult?

Can you be more precise? I called the mumu larez a tribalist because that is what he is based on his comments on some topics I have seen on this forum and I believe that the post he is crying about had to do with his tribalistic nonsense he posts around like a scum he is.

adekampe:
Nigerians can be very stupid and foolish atimes. . .The man fashola is trying to get his feet in lagos and make a difference and here we have this idiot who is trying to overwhelm him.In the event he fails in this six state task,this idiot will be the first to come and and condemn him.

@ Poster:

You are the biggest fool on nairaland.

Exactly.

As long as extremely ridiculous and silly posts are allowed on this forum the quality of discussion will continue to go down.

How on earth would a sane mind come up with the nonsense written above?

asha 80:
My guy too much viewing of 24 no too dey good for your health

In fact, if they can hire Jack Bauer make hin deal with them no wahala.

Don't worry, more of your posts will continue to disappear for whatever reasons because people who see everything through tribal and ethnic prisms represent the scum of the earth and that is what you are.

Quit complaining and learn to communicate like a human being.

larez:
Quit laughing and go to my profile. You can use quote to get my message back on. These Nazis on Nairaland sha!!! They don't want our people knowing the truth. You saw the second one disappear too huh?

Not surprised that your quote was removed (assuming you are even telling the truth) because you are a careless talker, quick to abuse when cornered and as a matter of fact if more and more posts from people like you are removed from the forum this forum will be a much better place. Ethnic bigotry has no place in the world we aspire to live in.

IFELEKE:
of course he is not owing anyone in his personal capacity.

Take a look at the content in bold below

TEE ZERO:
[color=#000099]The letter reads: "We write to acknowledge receipt of your transfer instruction of the sum of £11,618,000.00 (Eleven Million, Six Hundred and Eighteen Thousand Pounds) being naira equivalent of N3,000,116,140.00 (Three billion, One Hundred and Sixteen Thousand, One Hundred and Forty Naira only) to be applied on receipt for payment on account of your outstanding balances with the bank in the following accounts:

Global Fleet Oil and Gas Ltd 0011201008448

Global Fleet Industries 0011101028564

Fleet Hotels Ltd 0011201008438

NICON Group 0011101016319

Barr. Jimoh Ibrahim 0013003000359

"The bank undertakes to refund to you any excess charges or debits on the account that is not authorised by you, or interest rate that is not in compliance with our terms of loan as soon as the reconciled account is mutually agreed upon.

And come to think of it this might be a good way to practice true federalism.

Anambra relaunches Bakassi, armed robbers and kidnappers flee to other neighboring states because failure to do so means instant death

Neighboring states implements similar strategies and armed robbers suddenly don't have a hiding place and the police will have less work to do.

As jack Bauer would say - anything necessary to get the job done is ok.

asha 80:
Afam your prayers has been answerd  

Prayers ke? I don't remember stuff like this one when I pray.

However, considering the rate of crimes in a state that the Bakassi boys were able to deal ruthlessly with criminals it only makes sense that they are allowed to do what they do best.

Who wouldn't want a safe environment? Who would like to live in a constant state of fear just because our police cannot guarantee security.

nuzo:
Not at all, but knowing how power intoxicates an average nigerian; especially the touts, would we be willing to leave our fate in the hands of these touts for a short term goal or stand up and demand for a comprehensive over haul of the security system which will benefit us in the long run?

Whatever it takes to bring back normalcy to the state will make perfect sense.

You are in China and want Nigerians to stand up and demand for comprehensive over haul of the security system while people are kidnapped, maimed, robbed and killed by these people and you oppose the only thing they fear and dread to be introduced to the state at this juncture?

Yes.

Introduce Bakassi today and by next tomorrow all the kidnappers, ritualists and armed robbers would have fled Anambra.

We should support whatever works and when the bad guys are out of town you can then talk about monitoring them or reducing their powers.

Or, are people really comfortable with the nonsense going on in Anambra state right now?

becoomrich:
I think they should restore cecila and akingbola into other position because it can create problem. Bill gate is still part of microsoft but not in management.

Exactly, Bill Gates is now the official driver of one of those guys in management at Microsoft. You are very correct. He even doubles as a security man in the company's head office.

novaman:
The end will surely justify the means. For those who thinks Sanusi is doing the right thing, we shall see the eventual outcome as only time will tell, same goes to bank chiefs and the debtors. Am on the fence; I don't trust what is going, it could be an agenda by some group of people against another, may be we have fogotten the kind of govt we have, like I said earlier "time will tell" my fingers are crossed

Whether Sanusi is carrying out an agenda or not the exercise is a welcome development.

Why are people comfortable with less than 1% of the population controlling 99% of the wealth of this country if those people are not direct or indirect beneficiaries?

@loan repayment,

I thought the man wanted to repay N8B and not N3B.

novaman:
So coming to the matter before us; if Jimoh Ibrahim has been found to have defaulted in any way then the CBN/EFCC should prosecute him but if he has not done any wrong doing, so why force him to pay; I think the the CBN should be careful of sending wrong signals becos banks will be warry of lending money even to the young enterprenuers planning to settup a business or boost the capital of his business. Visit a microfinance or any of the banks and ask for a small loan and you will see their reaction. We have to be very critical when this kind of matter is brought before us as we might also be sending wrong signals to the outside world.

Funny enough you seem not to understand that the reason why the young businessman is denied loan is because the bulk of the funds have been given to the big guys who don't even need collaterals to access the loans.

About CBN sending wrong messages and forcing anyone to pay you must understand that the money in question does not belong to the banks but to depositors and shareholders so the CBN's job is to ensure that depositors funds are safe because if things get out of hand it is the same CBN that will be held responsible.

The moment you void a contract you cannot be talking about your right and when it comes to non performing loan the debtor has no right to determine how the debt will be settled because to begin with the the debtor failed to do his/her own part.

Misuse of the name Nigeria on the web

I believe every country reserves the right to protect the use of the official name in any capacity anywhere in the world especially where the image is at stake.

While searching for a domain name for a project I tried to find out if abcnigeria.com was available and as a matter of fact it was already taken by someone.

I tried to visit the website and saw a live website developed for ZEL Custom Manufacturing, a company that manufacture guns.

Now, what on earth would the name Nigeria be doing on a domain name belonging to a gun manufacturing company that is based in Florida?

Maybe Nigeria means something other than the official name of a country in Africa.

I doubt if the ministry of information as a ministry will have the time to look into matters like this one when it has its hands full with domestic matters.

Nigeria as a country may not be living up to its potential, the government may not be providing its citizens with all the basic necessities of life, her citizens may be involved in crime (just like other citizens of other countries) but I dare say that as long as Nigeria remains the name of our country I find it objectionable for a gun manufacturing company in Florida, USA to be using the name Nigeria the way it is using it right now.

www.abcnigeria.com is the website address.

1. Where is the exact link to this article on Vanguard website?

2. Are you saying that the 5 banks were the top banks in Nigeria? If, yes, based on what yardstick?
