According to a relative of mine.

For the past few months now (as I have observed), Festac residence have not had pipe-borne water. They always buy water from vendors. The reason being the bedrock water is contaminated with crude oil and as such it can't be used.

Residences of Festac pls confirm. Thanks

congrats Katz and Abujafood

advocate666: Thank you Chinyere baby. Adadioramma 1 of Igboland. You tried but the agents of failure have once again reared their ugly heads. How I wish our igbo men would grow balls and emulate you.

dude you are frustrated

Ogun a dara

pazienza: You are even more naive than i thought. Do you know that Ojukwu family had massive investments in the north and west when he declared biafra? Do you know that Achebe's daughter is married to a yoruba guy?

I don't want to get into this discussion with you. I want you think as well. Ojukwu lost everything until he came back to Nigeria and WAS PARDONED.

Achebe's daughter marrying a yoruba man has no bearing on Achebe. Achebe might be a bigot while his daughter is indifferent.

pazienza: Do not be naive,nigeria has no future, if rochas and pat are noble men,then they must be biafrans at heart,most noble igbo men are,if they are not noble,then they are probably not biafrans at heart and as such won't be able be able to steer nigeria away from it's programmed death. Before now,none of you guys knew how deep biafra lives in the heart of achebe,do you suppose that other igbos are any different?

dude it is clear you are the naive one here . Look at what you wrote

Achebe was a powerful man in biafra so I expected him to be biased but not to the point of causing division among brothers. I hope I am making sense.

Rochas and Pat Utomi are not BAIFRAN, Why cause they have there investments all over the north and SW so they would not be stu.pid enough to nurse baifra cause. Moreover their children are in Lagos aka an Awolowo state redefined . Of which if they biafran, they would not do that.

The point I am trying to pass across is that 2015, Most people including I would NOT VOTE BASED ON SENTIMENT BUT BASED ON COMPETENCY. Yes like of Fashola, Pat, Rochas are always coming up my mind but I am still studying the 3 characters before I make a topic and start my campaign for the most competent.

[quote author=PROUD-IGBO]^^^Afam is not 'defending' her action, rather he is saying that it is a general 'Nigerian' malaise that has been in existence for decades; a situation where whomsoever finds himself controlling the central gov't sees it as his and his peoples/cronies personal property.....serving the entire 'Nigerian' people doesn't come into the equation, and if it does, is relegated to the back-burner; over the decades this attitude has been reflected in allocations of 'oyel' blocs and hefty defence and civil contracts, and also reflected in intakes and choosing the head of Customs/NNPC/federal civil service/Nigerian Army/etc-etc-etc.

So if anyone wants to condemn the actions of the head of Immigration by all means go ahead, but do not make it an 'Igbo' thing......that's all Afam is saying.[/quote]haba, i did not make it an Igbo thing. In fact Afam is trying to picture it like it is the first time this is happening of which it is not. This is the same thing you are saying as well.

My point is that Afam and now you are trying to picture a scenario whereby the SE has been "short changed" in the federal character and now a SEer is there, she has the right to do what she did.

Her husband is from Imo and I know he is a politician so me trying to picture it as a SE thing would be wrong cuz she is just trying to help her husband's political career. I still stand by my word that Afam is trying to justify the action and looking for excuses which I have now given him

Yewe2011, thanks for the info.

sorry for the last reply.

with or without Achebe's bigotry, If likes of Roachas, Pat Utomi still contest, he would have my vote. I could careless if he is Igbo or not. This is the future of the country we are talking about. Regardless of what Igbos on Nairaland say or what Achebe writes people would vote for the right person.

Although I love your analysis Ntns but lets leave this pettiness for now and focus on who would move Nigeria forward

RIP

Noblechyk: Wat are u just saying?

he is saying the person killed came back to Nigeria to help us but we do not appreciate. While those like Iweala destroying our economy are kept alive by us Nigerians.

Ise !!!!! goat

Aboki side ! I spend a lot of cash o ! see how Afam is defending this, chai hypocrisy

berem: [b]Lagos island is very notorious for using fireworks indiscriminately.i remember going for shopping some years back during xmas and some miscreants started throwing fireworks right in the middle of the crowd.[/b]come see how people start to dey run up and down! Too bad that the storage of these fireworks could cause explosion and fire outbreak.

Very true, still happened 2 days ago when some iddeiot threw knockouts at pedestrians. There is need for Lagos state police division to arrest some of these people

That explains the traffic of yesterday. Normally, Lagos road are free during this period but this year we have traffic everywhere .

I hope the commissioner of police and Minister of transport address this issue. This is the only time we Lagosians actually enjoy lagos and are free from all the shouting and fighting of Lagos streets.

I hope this is just a one off I really hope it is a one off.

Jarus: Now you are taking your modship campaign too far.

Was the 2009 poll officially recognized? The then mod did a shabby exercise and Nairaland senior management rightly overruled it. That was why we came up with ban rule and quality posts rule to prevent the likes of Becomrich from emerging. So how can you use 2009 exercise as a reference.

And this year, can you name another poster that added more value to this section than Katz? This was someone whose performance at the October debate was well applauded and also did well as moderator of November dialogue. Yes, he also engaged in tribal fights, but tell me who among the top posters didnt, including your candidate, your tribesman.


The sectional award has come to stay. There is nothing anybody can do about it. Not even your becoming a moderator of this section,which you can't be anyway, can stop it. The sectional award event has become an institution, and beyond a moderator's prerogative. It has come to stay.

Good !!!

^^^^^ I am PDP anf mixed yoruba with ..... and can never support ever support Achebe's tribalistic utterance. You, Achebe's supporters and Achebe himself need to GROW UP.

Maturity and wisdom is not by grey hairs or age but comes from God. As an elder you cannot be caught saying quotes such as " we were better than yoruba and hausa" " his yoruba people" " hausa this "

When will you people grow up and mature from this cave forest man mentality. An average illietrate in this so called North and West knows his/her rights from wrong.

There is time for everything in life, time to speak and time to make peace. Achebe and indeed his followers have shown no sense of wisdom or direction. I mean look at your post

Sincere 9gerian: I openned this thread for one reason- to further CONFIRM that yorubas/ACN own and dictates what happens on NL. This FACT has been CONFIRMED over and over again. Can it ever get worse than the name of Achebe[b] appearing on ACN/yoruba hall of shame?[/b] Whatever we read or whatever polls conducted on NL should be seen in the light of the ownership structure and BIAS of NL

What does that say about you ? Surely you are a Bigot. Have you seen other countries shouting fons this ashate that ? No because they are maturing. It is time you people mostly from the easterners do the same.

I dislike this man's trash

gej is very openly corrupt

^^^^^ God bless you

Igbos and their wahala. SMH

ypzilanti: Ok. I did an investigative work to find out where the tribal war started from. It was all peace an quiet before @desola posted this crap. Why the post was not hidden, and poster banned, I do not know. I am beginning to think that these tribal wars are encouraged on this forum to drive traffic.

Na, there are some people that needs to be ignored. When you give some post attention, you get e-bombs

I have said it times without number that Babapupa is a psycho . I guess I am right now, see how e dey carry lagos for head like say na isi ewu. Abi na ACN ask you make you dey do this ?

Christmas light Babapupa, remember na Christmas light o ! No be multibillion naira roads construction. BTW again an indigene of Lagos speaks Alj harem.

orisirisi, Christmas Light turn tribal bashing na wa o

nope the instrument to get GEJ into power was MILITANCY AND THREATS. Dokubo haba

berem: my dear I am also seeing what you are seeing! This country Is really doomed.the corrupt is celebrated and absolutely nothing is done to fight corruption.2015 is fast approaching.I hope Nigerians will be wiser this time and vote for the right person to take this country to the Promise land.

I hope so too, fine girl I really hope so

well too much grammar

berem: very very ON POINT!

my wife, I am glad you now see my point when I did not want GEJ but Buhari.

It is very very annoying Anenih is 80 + When would likes of you become the leader in the country ?

Alison- Madueke a known investigated looter is still sitting in power as minister of petroleum resources without accountability on how NNPC and indeed Nigeria cannot account of millions of barrels of oil being taken off the shores of Nigeria. They cannot even tell NIGERIANS THE Materials needed to own an oil field if not "connected". I just hope you are seeing what Alj harem saw last year.

monkeyleg: Fantastic!!!, this is what Nigerians deserve. After all the people are only as good as their leaders.

Chief (Thief) Anenih, carry go, nothing do you. The country is phucking ripe for the plunder, take her, and have no mercy

lol funny

take dat: This is what we get when [size=28pt]we have a President who lacks the courage to make a difference[/size] and his cabinet peopled with men and women who wears corruption like an ornament and flaunt loot like a medal together with political elites who are uniformly corrupt and heedless under the umbrella of a political party whose main aim is to "Share the Money".

that is the point !!!!

Paul John: Alj, just ACN?

abi na, wetin we go yarn. lol

lol acn
