Must you be involved in Lagos politics? No. It is better you face your osun state. even your stay in osun state till date has not improve the state a bit. so face your osun and leave lagos alone mr long throat.

Why should he face Osun alone. Are you making sense here

Again majority of you people are not ready to be leaders. That is the reality.

being a leader is also making bonds and closing in the "imaginary" borders that divides one state from another.

,.,.,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,.,.,.,, ,.,.

who each state do it own revenue, food, transportation etc all on it own ?

NO

currently, Osun and ekiti state provides the majority of lagos food from yam etc

lagos current provides majority of the revenue states like ekiti, ogun and osun uses

it is again economic integration.

ogun provide houses

ekiti and osun provide the food

lagos provide the business district and the revenue needed to run those states.

What is the point in having a poor state . so bros it is not long throat but a regional thing and I want other regions to adopt the same tactics

Eko Ile:
I know you post the most idiotic and senseless rubbish on NL, I really think you out did yourself with this sad post.

LOL

@South east

calm down, what is wrong is wrong and don't try to justify it all in the name that he is from ur region.

how come Boko haram is not attacking and bombing other countries like chad etc

Why are they choosing Nigeria among other countries

does not make sense

Eko Ile:
You are right, Tinubu is my hot spot, I totally agree with you.

Now, do you really think its possible for you to stop chasing me around with your Tinubu grudges and fantasies?

that sort of mentality is a very wrong mind set

Eko Ile:
STFU and stop sniffing my diiick. Must you even pay any attention to my post or is it just that you can not exist on NR without chasing me you dumb a.S.s.

Looks like many of you can not survive or succeed without the thought of Tinubu in life or as part of your existence.  If you have beef with Tinubu, I heard his house is somewhere in Ikoyi, go over there and confront him or kill yourself. Fucckkiing loser.

Get of my diiick. Damn!!

LOL damn this tinubu is a hot spot for you

it is like i hit straight to your nervous system, omo no get nervous break down.

Eko a ti ACN o ni baje o, ,.,.,.,.,. O baje ti!!!!!

Government should be wary of paying “off” or “settling” criminals with financial rewards as doing so will encourage others. There should a proper instituted benefit if there was any loss in the first place.

that is the main point to this amnesty that the FG started at the first place

it shows that[b] terrorism and crime does pay[/b] if u are violent enough

guys i don't want to drag this thread to the name-calling gutters, but can i ask u a question ?

Why didn't Jesus Christ concentrate his preaching to his "own" people ?

or why didn't Jesus convert his people first ?

Please don't forget Igbos have same biological genes and linage with . . . . .


More earthly, who told you our land is not developed within the available capacity "imposed" upon it ?

checks the value of land in the SE compare to SW region. (Lagos is not in SouthWest region, (pre civil war) for your information, tho it is in SW geopolitical zone,1994)

chai Ihuoma u are very very ignorant

very ignorant

lagos was not the capital u mumu, lagos island WAS THE CAPITAL

Relax101:
Are you alright?

because i speak the truth

is SW not south again

onitshe market is full of camerounian, right or wrong

so lets stop all this blaming thing or the north and focus on the nation as a whole

if the northern borders are porous, then so are the southern borders

Relax101:
Just to add to the list. Fck Sanusi!!!!
He should go be an Emir or an Imam, his Islamic studies would be useful but not in Aso Rock.
Again, F0rk SANUSI.

dude

i believe Sanusi is far more educated than you

so what is all this Islamic studies etc

or is it not a form of education as well.

Must he study politics etc to be call educated to rule the country

Fact he is smarter than majority of u haters here and certainly more than GEJ

2. See why we cannot stop the Hausa/Fulani (H/F) from exterminating the Beroms and Tivs of northern Nigeria? (many of the invaders would be H/F imported from outside Nigeria to fight for their brothers)

3. See why we cannot conduct a reliable and true census  from the North? They simply invite their friends from across the boarders to come and get counted as Nigerians.


There is no reason why any reasonable southern Nigerian would want to continue to live with these people in the same country.[/quote]why are u not truthful for once

asha 80:
i actually meant the tussle at LAUTECH

Yes this kind of things is bound to happen.

Even with streets in ebutta metta, people fight. that does not mean they hate each other.

and more over this is not a political fight, or is it ?

afam4eva:
What Asha is saying is, how come it's Yorubas from Oyo, Osun and other states that are beneffiting from the "united yoruba" thingy and not the other way round.

thanks

hmmm if u mean yorubas from lagos and ogun are not benefitting from this sort of thing then Asha is wrong

as what i can see now, Lagos is expanding to ogun state and house prices are raising in ogun state as well, the indigenes of lagos and ogun state are meaning the awori people which are also Yewa people

No one really cares about this "what state are you from in the SW" so long as the person is a progressive (not necessarily yoruba) then it is a go go

what i mean is that, No one can tell the difference if he is oyo or ekiti  from awori or egun unless they really search deep into ur linage

how do the government stop kidnapping ?

this is becoming more like a lucrative business

asha 80:
i wish oyo and osun are thinking along this line

what do you mean ?

afam4eva:
@CuteTJ
You're the one who's making an un-intelligent statement. I'm talking about someone jumping from what state to the other and you're telling me how Arnold became a president despite being from Austria. Was Arnold a politician in Austria? Even if he was, it's still allowed because they're different countries. Here we're talking of states in the same country. Ask yourself this question "Can Arnold become the governor of Texas?". Very soon, after his tenure in Osun state, Aregbesola may contest to become a governor in Lagos. Why can't he just stick with one state.

i think you should read this. remember a state is just an imaginary boundary

they view themselves as "ndi yoruba bu ndi yoruba" ie A yoruba man is a yoruba man even if he is from benin republic

emmatok:
@Beaf

[size=14pt]Lagos is not ABIA were you discriminate against non-indigenes including IGBOs.

Every Yoruba man is welcomed is an SW states.[/size]

Beaf:
. . .But . . .But. . . We don't understand, sir!
Ain't you the governor of Osun? Has Fashola begged you to be his deputy, wetin na?!

Can someone ask this man to pack back to Osun and forget Lagos? How Can the Osun state governor live in Lagos? Last time he was even talking about constructing roads through Ogun and lagos! Are we safe?

beaf my brother. this is what you don't understand

Yes he is the governor of Osun state which is ONE OF THE STATES IN THE SOUTH WEST.

remember when ACN was talking of economic integration and what not. Well it starts from political integration

how does ACN hope to build a railway or whatever they are promising without political integration

same can be done when the OYo or lagos can go to ogun or ekiti

I see nothing wrong in it

it is called forming a centre ie politcal centre thus regional government

Just what i like to hear from this governor

Kudos to aregbesola

This is what they call "economic integration" and it starts from political integration which PDP has not been able to achieve

hope more of this is done in other parts of the country

Nice one aregbesola and tinubu (even though i don't like him too much) but this makes sense

wesley80:
No doubt MM doesnt deserve a honourable place in our history but that completely depends on the side one chooses to look from as he's seen as a war hero and his crimes are conveniently shielded as they were done 'in the interest of the nation' just like those commited by his military contemporaries, massacre or no massacre, afterall the perpetrators of the Asaba massacre justified their action and bluntly refused to apologise during the Oputa panel and I'm yet to see them take to the stands in the Hague.
Truth is we buried a whole load of things at the end of the war and opening them up will do no one no good. Crimes were commited on both sides In varying degrees and you cant open one and leave the others cos it suits you. Some of us ended up as victims of a war we knew nothing about but we chose to forget cos it was the only way to heal our mostly self inflicted wounds and Like Shakespeare said;
'To mourn a mischief that is past and gone is a sure way to draw new mischief on' Let sleeping dogs lie.

the best post so far

I agree with you on this one, but if it is done,

1.) would massob stop existing

2.) would igbo stop putting eze ndigbo in every state

3.) would they stop complaining about marginalization

4.) Would they stop screaming biafra at our face (very important)

if so then I completely agree

Men of the Lagos State Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, have foiled an attempt by a 21-year old housemaid, Chinansa Ozoemina, to kidnap her boss, John Ike Azota, a staff of an oil company in Aguda area of Surulere, Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria.

•The maid and the gang. PHOTO: Dedeigbo Ayodeji.
When the SARS operatives led by Superintendent of Police, SP Abbakyari, foiled the kidnap attempt, Ozoemina was arrested alongside her boyfriend, Okoye Raphael, at their hideout at Adeniran Ogunsanya Street, Surulere, Lagos.
Four other suspects, Chukwudi Ikeji, 21, Nwaokike Ugochukwu, 24, and Osondu Njoku, 26 and a man simply identified as Obiora were also nabbed in connection with the plot.

P.M.NEWS learnt that the housemaid, Ozoemina, initiated the ‘business’ when she informed her lover, Raphael, that his boss is a wealthy man and they would make millions of naira if he could be kidnapped.
Raphael agreed with his lover and contacted Njoku who allegedly recruited other members of the gang including Ugochukwu, who is said to be the owner of the gun they planned to use for the operation.
It was gathered that unknown to the kidnappers, a police detective had infiltrated their group who played along with them.
Before they actually carried out their plans to abduct Azota, who is an engineer with an overseas oil company, the detective had informed his boss in the SARS about their plans.
They were arrested at their hideout and police commenced interrogation of the suspects immediately.
According to sources, the suspects have made useful statements to the police in connection with the foiled kidnap attempt.
After the completion of police investigation, the suspects will be arraigned in court.
Contrary to Ozoemina’s claim that she innitiated the kidnap plan, Raphael claimed that he actually did.
Raphael told P.M.NEWS: “I was dating Ozoemina. I told her that her boss is a millionaire so I asked her if could kidnap her boss, would he pay and she said yes. I contacted my friend, Njokwu who agreed to work with us.”
Njokwu said: “Though I agreed to work with Raphael, I have no gun, therefore I contacted Ugochukwu who got his friend from Anambra State, Chukwudi Ikeji.”

On his part, Ikeji said: “We attended the same school. I told him that I would release the gun because of him and I would collect N400,000 as my charge. I told him to wait and I went inside the house to pick my brother’s gun where he kept it. My brother is based in America, I gave them an American made pistol with eight 9mm live ammunition.”
Ikeji and Obiora later arrived Lagos with the pistol but they were arrested from where they gathered to plan the kidnap.

Ibos Macjive01 and their his stup1dity

Yes i agree.

very arrogant and jealous just to add to his stup1dity

Fresh facts emerged yesterday that Boko Haram members may agree to cease fire in the spate of bombings in the country if the Federal Government apologises to the sect.
The sect also wants the government to pay compensation for their losses, try the killers of the slain leader of Boko Haram, Mohammed Yusuf, and release its detained members.
These were some of the agreements reached with ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo during a visit he paid to members of Yusuf’s family in Maiduguri on Thursday.
It was also learnt that the Federal Government may  open talks with the sect, depending on the understanding that is reached between the sect and Obasanjo.
Although the Presidency is said to be excited at the inroad Obasanjo has made into the Boko Haram enclave, the ex-President is yet to make a report to the government on his discussion with the sect.
But the report of the Presidential Committee on Boko-Haram, headed by Alhaji Usman Galtimari, is ready and may also guide the government on how to negotiate with the leaders of the sect.
Investigation by The Nation  showed that the Boko Haram leaders are weighing options on the olive branch from the ex-President.

A reliable source, who spoke in confidence, said: “From intelligence reports, the Boko Haram members may cease fire, but with some conditions. They have stated these conditions since June, and these are known to security agencies.
“Some of these conditions were also raised during the audience Obasanjo had with Yusuf’s family.
“These conditions include an apology to the family of the slain Boko Haram leader, Mohammed Yusuf and the family of his slain father-in-law; compensation for losses suffered by the sect as a result of extra-judicial killings by the Nigeria Police and the release of all its detained members nationwide.
”They are also demanding the trial of those involved in the killing of Mohammed Yusuf, his father-in-law and other top leaders of the sect.
“The bold step taken by Obasanjo is a sign that the family of Yusuf could lead the initiative for peace talks with Boko Haram leaders.”
A top government source, however, said: “The government will be willing to discuss with Boko Haram leaders after all we are all Nigerians.
“The talk between the sect and ex-President Obasanjo was a welcome relief to all of us. No government will be happy with the spate of bombings nationwide.
“Our own approach is that whichever way we can resolve the challenge, we are prepared for it.  Anything that will bring peace, we are ready for it.
“The real truth is that the original concept of Boko Haram has expanded beyond what it was. We hope that the incoming talks will take care of the expansion.

“We are also interested in those we will talk with as a government. It is too early to talk of conditions from Boko Haram, because we do not know yet those we are going to talk with.
“I think with the initiative of the ex-President, we will soon know who to talk with.
Responding to a question, the source added: “Ex-President Obasanjo is yet to report formally to the government on his ongoing talks with Mohammed Yusuf’s family.
“I think the discussion is still at a preliminary level.”
But the report of Galtimari’s committee may guide the government on how to negotiate with the leaders of the sect.
A member of the committee said: “Our report is ready; we are only waiting for the government to give us a date to submit it.
“We have been asked not to talk to the press except the chairman of the committee. But we will soon make the report available to the government.”
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Anyim Pius Anyim had on August 2, 2011 inaugurated the committee.
Anyim said: “So I want to clarify that the purpose of this committee, like I said earlier is to create a forum whereby everybody who has suggestion or opinion will be able to give same to the committee, the committee is to sensitise and advise us. I emphasise that the committee is a fact finding team and a forum to proffer solution to the crisis.”
