This Bayooooooo guy is very clever. very very clever, the way he present his argument would win any biased mind in an instance. Very good.

I was also about to lash out on Fashola until I read his post along side saxywale.

Here is my opinion

1. Lagos state doctors are the highest paid in Nigeria

2. If the government keep yielding to their demands, then what happens to other sectors/workers. should they also be striking all the time

3. If they want to threaten the government to pay more despite they are the highest paid in the country by over 100 % then the government needs to sack some so as to increase the salary of others.

In general Nigerian doctors are not paid high at all because we have too many doctors in Nigeria, but demanding to 200 % or so salary more than other states in Nigeria is crazy and should not be encouraged.

bayooooooo: Do you dictate your salary to your employer?

Good !!!

I don't enjoy this Lagos topics at all !!!

Gbawe: It may be that 5 sites are in contention. Nigerian journalism somewhat suffers from 'lost in translation' moments. I don't think it makes economic or physical sense to situate 5 refineries in any one State.

I do hope so my brother, I don't know whether these people think they are talking to dumb people.

There can be a stupid developmental agenda,and if there was one,this is it.How can any sensible person ask for 5 refineries to be built when the 4 we have are poorly maintained.The for Shell CEO warned Nigeria about having a new refinery because of the glut of same in the world.While that does not stop us,as an oil producing country,anything more than 6 refineries for the whole country will be white elephant project.We must stop behaving like mentally challenged people, always jumping on a bandwagon.


^^^^ well said

[quote author=Rhino.5dm]Shut your smelly stinking mouth! So I should allow lurking blood sucking vultures prey on her for speaking her mind?[/quote]What ! Rhino, have you read some of her nasty comments ?

Rhino I urge you to go research on her utterances, you would be shocked given the fact that she is a public figure

I don't understand why heavy oil (bituminous sands) which is the only or major source of Oil in Canada is not least explored in Nigeria ?

Hmmmmm

Apparently both light and heavy oil are found in the SW. Na wa for those calling others parasites o !

solomon111: Resource control!!!
We are tired of parasitic regions leaching off us!

Which regions are those ? You mumu

Tell GEJ to give use true federalism so we can all go our separate ways.

What are you afraid of ?

CyberG: Alh, no I am not angry, why would I? I repeat when the law that upholds Nigeria currently expires; EVERYONE including the posters MUST carry their slippers on their heads and LEAVE. Simple! If you are lucky enough, Naija stays like it is but once everyone gets their own country, you will either leave or become permanently unavailable. No need to get angry about it!!

Ok I do understand, but my ideology is different.

I would rather allow any lagosian as of that time to be citizens of the new Odua republic.

We also need creativity and diversity. (Just being honest)

FP please

@ Obi

Again I apologise on his behalf and any horrible thing you have read. A lagosian is a Lagosian irrespective of tribe. It is that Onlytruth that like to discuss about properties etc knowing full well he has none in Lagos.

Obi1kenobi: He certainly sounds serious, though his ranting is of no consequence. I despair for this country when I read the garbage some people come out with on this forum. Imagine claiming people stole your lands when your own government and "sons of the soil" sold it to you.

You have to understand people say nasty things on this site because of anger. I have said it before that anyone that thinks he can just steal another man's sweat would be in for a huge shock of his life ie if he lives to tell the story.

We say things to get back at people does not mean we mean it. I have said some horrible things as well because of what I read but I can sense some seriousness in your quote that is why I had to come in.

Please watch what you take in.

Complete waste of funds.

5 refinery in a state is just a waste, I would have preferred 1 or 2 in Ogun or Ogun and Ondo

1 in Anambra

3 in the Niger-delta region.

@Obi and co

You have to understand that people get angry when you call Lagos a no-mans-land. With that said, Lagos would not be where it is without Igbos, Yorubas and Hausas working together. We indigenes acknowledge the Igbos and we are one with them but please stop insulting yorubas just cause you have a plot in Surulere or so. It is very annoying.

Again we are one because we have no where to run to. The sooner we all start working together, the better

Obi1kenobi: Are you being deliberately daft or are you just plain brain dead. So the fact Igbos can afford to legally acquire land and property in Lagos with no constitutional or institutional constraints, you equate it to stealing? Whose fault is it the SW mostly imports beggars and agbero to Lagos while a new wave of economically vibrant Igbos continue to gobble up propery in Lagos while you're here bleating about it. If a Yoruba man sells his ancestral land to me as an Igbo man, under what perverse, twisted logic can you justify claiming the land belongs to him simply because his ancestors once owned it? Insecure cretins who can't engage their little brains and still choose to reason like bigotted barbarians in the 21st century.

Biko Nwannem

calm down. CyberG was just angry. I am an indigene of Lagos from the royal household and we are all one with the Igbos,

So my brother reduce your anger, no one is taking anyones hard sweat. Please don't take NL too serious.

THE Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has disclosed that five refineries have been approved by the Federal Government for the state.

Amosun said this at the weekend, during his official tour to Ipokia Local Government Area of the state, adding that the presidency had given the approval to establish the five refineries in the council area, having been satisfied with report of oil discovery in the area.

Amosun said the development would transform the council, saying that no fewer than 400 companies had indicated interest to establish refineries and general investment in the state, a month after the investment summit organised by the state government.

He noted that his administration would expand the Idi-Iroko-Ipokia road, to pave the way for the expected development in the council.

Governor Amosun appealed to the Federal Government to consider constructing a link bridge between Ipokia and Badagary in Lagos State, to further boost the economy of the area.

He assured that both Owode-Ilaro and Papalanto-Ilaro roads, belonging to the Federal Government, would be rehabilitated and expanded.

Meanwhile, there was pandemonium when smugglers trying to evade arrest from the men of the Nigerian Customs Service drove into the convoy of Governor Amosun, at Idi-Iroko, when the governor was returning to Abeokuta, the state capital.

texazzpete: Can you tell me how a Nigerian refinery would reduce oil bunkering?

first of all, we have to ask ourselves why oil bunkering occur in the shores of Nigeria (Thus small scale)

Lack of employment and poverty which translate to desperation to find a means of livelihood.

Now what is the solution.

1. try to employ as much indigenous people as you can would greatly reduce this bunkering.
How do we achieve that ? By creating jobs

Jobs in the oil field are created by exploration of oil or refining. either one would do.

Although this is a simplistic solution.

A Nigerian refinery from a Nigerian oil company would take us out of this quagmare.

1. It would provide Jobs for Niger-delta people thus reducing militancy

2. It would provide an avenue for us to prosecute our citizens that fail to see the suffering of her people.

3. reduce oil bunker.

Apparently Nigerians would prefer Shell etc to Onada, capital oil etc. Why are Nigerians now complaining.

If you cannot support indigenous companies and always think foreign companies are better then so be it.

This is why I believe Nigeria should build her own world class health system why Nigerian doctors and researchers can work with freehand.

^^^^^

Can I have a link to that ? Thank because we have had some of your brothers editing things

[quote author=Sam_Ikenna]Really? So since its your job to gauge all Easterners by a single statement made by a supposedly "Igbo" person, why dont you act on other statements of support and commendation from other Igbos? Nwanne, I'm too old to be fooled easily. You know what you're doing and I wish you luck.[/quote]He is not one, because if he was wrong according to you, Your brothers commenting on the thread should have shut him up.

Look I am done with una

Dalover I am not even going to drag this on. Abeg just tell GEJ to split Nigeria and if mid-west joins Biafra, the better.


I have told you times without number that is not Oil that builds a Nation to be great but God and the spirit of unity.

I am done here

DaLover: They were high on Cocoa revenues, but the mid west told them to hell with your cocoa money, if it means we have to be second class citizens...we will use our rubber, it may not be as much as cocoa in the international market,. but we shall always stand with our head high.

chai !!! See lies

Here is an Ijaw leader, not even Itsekiri

Memories of the sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, lingered yesterday as Ijaw people , from several parts of Nigeria, converged on Lagos to “invoke the spirit of the sage”.

The Ijaw people also claimed to be using the occasion of the late elder statesman’s birthday celebration to “evoke his spirit on President Goodluck Jonathan for him to succeed.”

Eminent Nigerians, including:Ebenezer Babatope , Ben Murray Bruce, Alhaji Lateef Jakande and leader of the Ijaw Monitoring Group, Joseph Evah all commended the legacies of the sage.

The Ijaw people who were celebrating the 102 posthumous birthday of the former premier of Western Region prayed that, “the Lord should give Goodluck Jonathan , the wisdom of Obafemi Awolowo”.

Also at the occasion, which took place at the National Arts Theatre in Lagos the Ijaw Monitoring Group presented an award to the matriarch of the Awolowo dynasty, Dr Mrs HID Awolowo.

Mr Bruce described Pa Awolowo as “a great Nigerian and a great patriot, whose reign as the Federal Commissioner of Finance was devoid of any external debt.”

He also described the recent endorsement of President Jonathan’s presidential ambition by Yeye HID Awolowo as “the greatest thing that can happen to Jonathan’s candidature, just about four weeks to the elections.“

Comrade Evah commended the sage for his vision, which has become a reference point in the development of Nigeria , “ even when he was not elected as president.

He said further that, the economic and educational vision of Chief Awolowo had sustained Nigeria to its present state and prayed that the Lord should allow that vision to continue in Jonathan.

Evah [size=18pt]particularly commended the free education policy that was introduced by the former Premier of Western Region which according to him “helped several thousands of Niger Deltans.”[/size]

Olodostein: Sam_Ikenna is wiser.




alj harem A classic political shenanigan.

alj harem is alj harem. Wole soyinka is Wole soyinka.

I am sure it is alj harem you would talk about. When this thread was going on, no one stop the ideeiot Axysexy from saying Wole soyinka was tribal. Now in defence of Wole, it is Alj harem's fault

It is better this country split rather than deceive ourselves. Thanks

^^^^^^^^^^^

Abeg sam go siddon, I have no problem with easterners but with Igbos on the internet. Lets get our facts right

Imagine one of your igbo ideeiotic brother saying "Wole did not protest against his fellow yorubaman" What rubbish

I only have one ID which is Alj harem, I am not uche whatever you are saying

DaLover: For sure, they are much better, Imagin, after years of demanding a university of their own, so as to avoid being second class citizens in university of Ibadan, Awolowo instead, set up a second university in Ife..to the amazement of the mid-west....check your history well...

Uniben was eventually set up in 1972 and Edo and deltans are amnongst the most educated in the country now.

And that was why Yorubas did not complain when the mid-west went ?

Should we say because of mid-west we should lose our culture ?

That is how daf.t some of you all can be at times. LOL
