And now almost 100years later the people that wore clothes and suits in the 1930s are now squatting across bridge railings to shit into the lagoon while those who those who covered with banana leaves back then now wears designers and live like kings in luxurious mansions. Thank God o.

Richtaiwo:
In 1930, some people were covering their unclothedness with banana leaves.

I won't mention, they know themselves.

So you believe Lere the camera man.

DeLaRue:
The man also comes across as politically naive.

You have a Governor in the same party as you in neighbouring Osun, yet you did not support his re-election

It is amazing how power makes people lose sight of reality.

This Governor doesn't command any support outside Oyo State.

Nobody knows him in Lagos, Ondo, Ekiti, and Ogun. If you stop people on the streets of Lagos, or Akure, most of them won't be able to tell you who the Governor of Oyo State is. Even I don't always remember his name.

Yet he thinks it's his turn to contest.

Mr Tinubu was a factor in all 6 Southwestern states for nearly 2 decades before contesting for President.

You obviously did not read the body of the article. The estate is known as Goodluck Jonathan estate just as they have Gowon estate in Lagos.
It doesn't belong to him.

tega192:
I really like this , omo even good luck, this life no balance

Can you count the number of benefactors that wike have betrayed?

AMINDA:
As much as we all want to see Wike get his Karma, Tinubu proves yet again that he only cares about Tinubu. Wike destroyed the PDP on his behalf and requested for only one thing, the Rivers state structure. Yet, Tinubu is now aiming to take that away from him to consolidate on his own re-election. The list of betrayed allies continue to grow. His newfound friends will soon find out. Ganduje is also somewhere licking his wounds, forgotten. He was the darling of Agbadorians just a while ago. Lessons.

Show us Lagos-Benin-Ore road at night too, then we can begin the discussion.

Just like the way you are wasting your life on Nairaland.

yarimo:
ALEX OTTI only mission as governor is to waste tax payers money off abians.

Is it dash? Are other states not receiving?
Oga it's not favor.

DomPerignon:
The governor projected revenue of N83.2 billion from FAAC, N67.1 billion from VAT, N26.5 billion from grants and aid, and N168 billion from other federal channels. Combined internal and external revenue for 2026 is estimated at N607.2 billion, leaving a deficit of N409 billion (40% of the budget), which Otti said will be financed through concessional loans. “We shall borrow only when necessary, and such funds will be deployed exclusively for projects capable of repaying themselves in the medium to long term,” he said.

The entire capital expenditure is from Federal handouts and loans guaranteed by same FG.

And tomorrow their people will come here and say they are being marginalised despite their states being a welfare state hooked to the FG.

Because of re-election.

givedemwotowoto:
Few months later he has denied his own people who are one of the worst hit in recent times.

Who is responsible for Brigadier general M. Uba's death?

fergie001:
Court links Ahmed Gulak's death to the activities and sit-at-home order of the IPoB, whose leader Nnamdi Kanu rightly admits leadership.

Does it matter? A vice principal was butchered and 25 girls kidnapped. We should be talking about putting an end to all forms of killings and terrorism.
Even countries at war have not recorded the kind of horrific casualties and killings as it's seen here.

godliman:
Please those from that axis educate us, was it a Christian dominated community?

Our banking systems are not "start ups" friendly. The interests and pattern of repayment puts pressure on the borrowers and there is hardly a period of morotarium, but then you still have a good point.

SmartPolician:
We are saying the same thing. You need to understand that many Americans you hear their names today borrowed money to start their businesses, ran it at loss for years and never gave up.

Today, their companies are some of the biggest the world. A very good example is Elon Musk. That's why those guys will always be up there - they don't think us. Their investors have a higher risk appetite than we do.

That's why someone said that nothing may happen in 10 years, but 10 years can happen in a week. Experiences shape such quotes.

He meant you should not borrow to start a business. When your business has started showing signs of growth you are free to borrow because by then you have tested the waters and knows what works. Borrowing to fund an untested business and start up is the greatest risk you will ever take.

SmartPolician:
I listened to one speech by Coscharis founder telling his audience not to borrow business money. Instead, they should work hard to make money they would use to start their businesses.

You see, that's the danger of people of old generation advising people of new generation. He still has the mentality of those who go borrowing go sorrowing. He probably didn't know there are thousands of entrepreneurs who built multimillion-dollar companies after raising capital from angel investors and venture capitalists.

NASCO or nothing. Or are my generation not here?

You think Pentagon and CIA are not already using satellite and local intels to monitor suspicious movements?

SenatorCharles1:
Too much of talk and threats will give enough time for the terrorists to relocate to other locations even to the southern part of Nigeria. They should have invaded by now and start killing the bandits before announcing their intentions. Osama Bin Laden was taken out without much talk.

These terrorists may even go as far as kidnapping a whole village or community to use as human shields against any imminent strike

The sponsors of these terrorists are trying hard to confuse Tinubu under the false guide of only God knows what, to allow for more time to re-strategies and move bandits to more hidden locations.

Is Reno Monkiri aware of this?

saintopus:
Well, é no surprise me atall, anyway wetin shock me na countries like Russia also being in the list.

Exactly. The comment I wanted to make. But the Delta government are not developmentally creative. They don't know how to woo investors.

Cleanmouth:
They should relocate to Asaba or Agbor na. Lagos will be too far.

Read again. Mathematics used to be compulsory for all students. Now it's no longer a compulsory subject for Art students.

Justseyii:
Exactly, nothing changed

And that is why you are still "nothing"

meditator:
Oga I rather be a Deji than Obi

Will you keep quiet?

TimeManager:
It seems we are forgetting a very important part of this whole process. The President did not singlehandedly approve the pardon. A Presidential committee was inaugurated from across the spectrum and they came up with recommendations which were submitted to the council of state for approval.
Unfortunately, some people read only to comment and get likes but not to understand for future reference. This goes to show the level of our educational systems, producing graduates who are quick to talk but slow to understanding.

-Kiss the truth!

Is it not obvious? You are jealous. What you term arrogance is the everyday natural confidence of the Igbo man.

mascot87:
Oga,no one is jealous of you. I just don't like your arrogant nature. Why would I be jealous of someone I am better than. Rest

39? Hmmn. Anyways Happy birthday to the lyrical genius.

Peter Obi won in not just Abuja but the Aso rock polling unit. I guess those voters are also street urchins in your warped estimation.

Exousiang01:
Is Peter in anyway trying to claim that he is ignorance of class in the society?
Are most of the people following him anything to write home about.
Who are they?
Can they command respect even on their streets.

Class has always being a part of every society.
And who follows you matters.
If Peter is saying that the country has "BECOME" then it's funny how he expects someone who doesn't understand class in the society to lead a country.

It's a state road o.

fixedhollies:
We are fixing the Atlantic road first, if other road ls like make dem bad. We would do it after awe are done with the pacific road!

Abeg na only Yoruba and Igbo dey promote this country in all sectors. Where are the binis that founded everybody?
The day Yorubas and Igbos will unite, hmmn Africa will produce a world giant. But will they ever unite?

You guys are just pained and bitter that someone amongst the Igbo elites is now speaking and standing up for his people. Nothing else.
Kwakwanso was doing same when hausas were attacked in the South West in the past and he was hailed for intervening for his people. Obi is here for the long run. You all better get used to it.

helinues:
Did Peter Obi react to the demolishing of some buildings in Anambra state by Gov Soludo? Why has he been selective with his reactions?

You can go and knack your head on the wall. Ladoja my brother.

Rolings:
Is Peter Obi and Tinubu age mate? Or is Peter the same age with Atiku?
Both Tinubu and AA can call Ladoja my brother but not Obi.... cos they are brothers that have come way back.... For instance both were present 21 years ago at Ladoja 60th birthday, where was Obi then?

The reason that gaffe happened is two fold
1. The so called yorubas in his team are not real yorubas that can even tell him about Yoruba culture, one is pretending to sell Amala (ife Salako) while Chinedu gbadebo vivor admitted he doesn't think in Yoruba
2. Obidients in continuation of their bigotry towards yorubas urged him to write this disrespectful letter knowing the man no know his left from right

Has it not been said even by your leaders that in every state that the Igbos have the highest population of residents after the indegines. Abi you want to pretend you are not aware? So it's a given that even in those states you have in mind that Igbos still makes up a great percentage of students especially in Lagos.

Putinofrussia:
The number of students that passed in Lagos,Oyo are way above the students that passed in Anambra,Abia,Ebonyi.
By sheer number,all the SE states are no match for any state in the SW.

Keep quiet.

Zionmdde:
Nonsense
Aniomas are Aniomas
Igbos are Igbos
Let everybody retain their ethnic identity
Closeness doesn't mean oneness

Ask Ossai Ovie how much he receives as salary for being an SSA, 300K. If there was any N500k job he would be the one taking it.
They just want to love-vendor out that girl after seeing fresh breast.

Ofemannnu:
lol
Rewarding violence.
Some other mofos might try to copy her,maybe they will be rewarded too.

That's what your big mouth said until they defeated your drug lord in his bedroom.

yarimo:
95% of them don't have voters cards thank no INEC polling unit on social media

Just imagine if it was an Igbo person saying all these about Nigeria. Ffk, Reno and Onanuga would have taken up tribal arms insulting a whole region.
