That's a fact![/color][/quote]can you prove to us or u are just assuming. when last have u been to imo state and lagos

@ All

Man, being a bodyguard seems like a waste of my time (Do not think of me as obnoxious, but I believe the talent of Nigeria's graduates should not be wasted on such things). In one year as an entrepreneur, I owuld have made more money than a bodyguard or infantryman for that matter. The problem is time, and I dont want to waste any of it.

The thing is, it would take far more time in times of peacetime to rise in rank than in times of war. I guess the only options are:

a) bribe
b) finding a Godfather to sponser me
c) being a bodyguard/ boy-boy for some years before being promoted to chaffeur

just pray to Allah for direction.

@al harem, i'm not talking about an open air market, im talking about an actual stone walled store market.

brother what do you mean be stone walled store market please explain

ChinenyeN:
Because it is the only real decision. It is the only decision worth making.

i disagree. all we need to do is understand each other

macjive01:
by number of stores for sure and presumably dollar of business. there are no facts to attest to the dollar but with the rancorous activities going on there daily

cost of a standard store in A line is about 12- 17million a year.

the margin of profit of business men there makes.

the largest market in africa is Roque Santeiro market in Luanda, Angola,

macjive01:
olumide, get me right, I NEVER SAID THE 70 % ACTIVITIES ARE BY IGBO,

i was refering to why there are so many people in Lagos.

If there is a port in Lokoja, do u not think dangote might consider relocating ?

if the port in warri is open to civialian cargos do you not think onitcha trader would prefer to use it, since it is a mere 3 hours away compare to lagos which is like 8 hours ?
note Onitcha market is still the biggest market in Africa.

very very comical

how do u just say things like this

ChinenyeN:
Nigeria should just hurry up and divide.

why should nigeria divide

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=717537.msg8757774#msg8757774 date=1311207087]Alj, u should hook odumchi up with contacts up in North.[/quote]the only contact i have is a yoruba man in lagos who was my friend back then but now a big man. he go high so fact because he applied as a tactician.

I don't know if he would even hear me out.lol

odumchi:
Thats the thing, I do not want to be a bodyguard or an infantryman for that matter. My intention is to rise to a position of command. Is there no way a graduate can quickly obtain a commanding position without attending a military academy? In other countries, graduates are automatically made officers when they enlist.

Nah, if I remember correctly. This guy did not have anybody.

My friend you have to be that bodyguard first (nothing comes easy) unless u know someone in there

Lastly unless you are applying as a tactician then that is the only way that i know of

0lumide:
And other states in Nigeria but no, you are hell bent on Lagos and Lagos alone!

Welcome to Yoruba land biatch!

ChinenyeN:
Address this nonsense response to someone else, not EzeUche. His stance on SS is well known. So you'd know that he is not the person to address this crap to.

vic ok

EzeUche:
Some of brethren wish to play big brother to these people. And the minorities haven't realized that they need [b]one of the majorities to champion their cause. [/b]We Igbos have suffered long enough from their betrayal.

just like kaunris now that produced abacha

just like Nupe that produced babagida

just like Gowon who was a non- hausa-fulani

jonathan an ijaw man too
get ur facts right

Nigeria has gone beyond this minority and majority crap

odumchi:
@ Alj

I am a very good tactician and I might be willing to persue a career in the Nigerian Army, but I do not know any majors, colonells, generals, or commanders. Is there hope?

Yes there u can still hit the top. I know of a yoruba man that started 10 yrs ago and now he is a top dog. There is hope. One thing I can advice you in is to be close to a general or better still be part of the people that protect and walk with a general. Walk yourself to that spot first before he can recommend you for a higher post.

EzeUche:
If you know people and you are a Northerner.

shut if u are clueless ok

@op

The best way is to be very proactive in you daily duties. You have to know people in top places. It is advisable to be a tactian than an infartory

EzeUche:
Why didn't we do this? Is it because we were playing big brother?

shatapp with this ur big brother nonsense u are talking about

who gave igbos big brother

do you think u are better positioned than the average ibibio man or ogoni

rubbish

macjive01:
Why do Yorubas think they built Lagos, abeg in what way? Before fashola, has there been any developmental effort on any scale embarked upon by anybody ?
yet Lagos did boom. thousand were trooping in.

Fashola is successful not becos he has the best brains but becos the trader opened up their wallets to pay taxes (they never did before now)(the corporations has always paid taxes), And hello, most of the trader taxed are Igbos. the yoruba markets in ketu  and mushin are not subjected to the same tax alaba and tradfair pays.

Now, lagos revenue has jumped from a miserable 4 bn to 26.8 billion every damn month.  that is like 7 times their previous revenue.


Ask ursef, why do people, esp easterner troop to Lagos,

- becos yorubas has made the place an eldorado?
-becos yorubas has made the place  secured ?
- becos yorubas have a lot of spending power ?
- becos yoruba . .  .

For christ sake, the number one thing that brings people to lagos is the seaport !
the seaport accounts for over 70% of non-corporate business activities in that lagos. And, hello , it was built by the Federal Government!

There is a seaport in portharcourt , calabar, and warri

The federal govt strictly designated the portharcourt seaport as an oil export terminal.

Calabar seaport is merely 30 feet of which has clogged up with sand, hence needs dredging - donald duke begged the OBJ govt fervently to dredge it all to no heed.
the cost of dredging it came up to be 34 billion.
the states annual budget before their only oil wells were ceded to Akwa Ibom were a meagre  36billion naira. so its clear. without the federal help, the state can not dredge the calabar seaport.

Tinapa is lying in a state all becos the seaport is comatose - not yet dredged.


WARRI seaport, the federal government also did designate the warri port for the Nigerian Navy.  

do u get the picture ?

so u are letting all this NL warriors get to u

yes lagos is a yorubaland but houses different people and not only yorubas but all nigerians

DON'T LET NAIRALAND GET TO YOU

majority of Nairaland yorubas are LOUD mouths that would discoruage people
thats all toothless dogs

abeg live and let live

one day u and i would die, are we taking lagos with us to heaven I dey laff o

Laalamed:
@alh-harem,what about governors with dead conscience.until system of government is changed to confederation or true federalism or nigeria is divided into small nations we cannot move forward.

yes we can

EzeUche:
You are truly my brother now.

and my cousin now

mukina2:
will look into it.
thanks

thank you

just voted yes

Rgp92:
I agreed with you!! Political section is turning me into a tribalist  and  i really want to see how smart you are. 

Ibime:
Fools consolation.

You have proven to us before that Ndigbo has the most on-shore oil blocks in Nigeria. Who owns your oil blocks?  


The fact is this. It is not the prerogative of the majority to claim that minorities get fair treatment under them as NL revisionists would have us believe. The majority has no say in the matter. It is the minority who would tell you if they are being dominated or not.

In the UK, the English have no say in whether the Scottish believe they are fairly represented. The Scots have their own parliaments and can raise referendum on the issue whenever they like. It is entirely their call.

Even Saro-Wiwa said Ogoni was oppressed by Ijaw. He is correct cos that is the nature of African societies.

Meanwhile some bovine-brained NL warriors are trying to force down our throats the lie that they are equitable partners in Eastern Nigeria, whilst still talking down to us as overlords. Some are even making mockery of their education by posting names of Divisonal Governors as proof of "Federalism".  

As for my nuclear family, we are proponents of Biafra, but I cannot blame any minority in the Eastern Region for fighting against Biafra, being that that was the only and immediate Government they had had all their lives, and which they believe was inequitable. One may say they jumped from the Deep Blue Sea into the hands of the Devil, but when someone's life is only affected by his immediate Govt, he is inculpable for fighting the devil he knows.

thank u

Obiagu1:
A beg tell am oo. Make him no take NL too serious.

gbammmm

yarodin:
All we have to do is create a modern day Sabon Gari in our new Igbo State (FESTAC STATE) to keep away beggars from neigbouring States like Lagos.   Ziks vision is slowly coming to reality, Igbo Kwenu, Yoruba Kwenu, ONE NIGERIA FOREVER.

don't push it, we are allowing u does not mean it is an igbo place

0lumide:
i've known you to be a snake come of late,  Not like you are behind Igbos per se but just there to be an angel of discord,

Go ahead!!!

answer the question, why did fashola and tinubu appoint igbo commissioners and eze ndigbos if they are not aware of the large igbo population in lagos

0lumide:
In Yoruba land? Una de fi iku shere!!!

The population you will be fighting will be Yorubas all over Yoruba land not just Lagos!!

Just give it a rest and know your place in Lagos as follow: As an Igbo in Lagos, you are irrelevant but as a Nigerian in Lagos you count,

thats a big lie

why did fashola put an igbo commissioner if he was not scared of their population

think about it

yarodin:
Festac and Satellite Towns are full of Igbos.  I did not notice this until my wife who is Benin asked me if we were in the east, I was nope we are in Lagos.  She had me study the people more closely and gbam even the ones that were earlier speaking Yoruba were now speaking Igbo.  I support and endorse Festac State for Igbos, one Nigeria has become a true blessing in disguise.

yes just like alaba and other areas

igbo bunie

Obiagu1:
We are not Fulanis that don't know how to sheath their swords.
We fight no one, SW is Yoruba, Festac State is SW, so Festac State is Yoruba whether it is inhabited and ruled by the Igbos.

Basic logic.  

well said and supported

Desola:
lol, no thread has made me laugh so much as this. Seriously? Festac state? Out of the smallest state in the whole country? I swear, I couldn't even believe my eyes when I saw some of you commenting to this seriously.

The funny part that threw me off my chair was finding out the name of the individuals agitating for the said state. I couldn't contain my self, it was just too hilarious. Okoro no dey carry last o. For Lagos state? Awolowo's country? An ajokutamamumi is calling for the creation of a state far away from his erosion ridden village? Nothing wey I no go hear. Awon oloshi, akutuku yin lona orun.

Awon ole aboju wonkoko.

shattap dia, festac state for us. we need it because lagos state is neglecting us in festac

[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=717425.msg8756471#msg8756471 date=1311193016]I know it's just a joke so there's no point getting serious over the issue.Do you want a repeat of the jos crisis where just a single local government created for the hausas is causing lost of lives and properties everytime.Ibos should learn from history.[/quote]no no no festac is not an igbo state

but a majority igbo. in the state

0lumide:
Lol Kwara is a Yoruba majority not a Yoruba state !!!!

If Yorubas in Kwara don't vote for you, you ain't winning and if they vote foe you, you are a winner!!!!

Kwara is made up of Tapa, Nupe, Yoruba etc, all indigenous to the state so really what's your point?

but olukumi is to yoruba

festac is to igbo
