Those places was never a capital of Nigeria
Receive sense in Ishallah

So only Capital's of Nigeria were built with Nigerian money, other states don't receive allocation from the Federal government àbi or what money is that allocatiion from, Ghana money?

Lagos state, as did Western region that made up a huge chunk of the modern day metropolis, received money from the centre, just like Eastern region and Aligbo states, and their government used it to make their land attractive to investors and people.

How long has Abuja being the capital that more people are still coming to Lagos daily than going there?

You yourself should receive sense before asking others to.

Guide777:
You are thinking what I am thinking . There is advantage in some advantageous positions. If they eventually qualified, they will do better because this long route will keep them competitive.

I doubt it, the better teams don't need any BS long route to stay competitive. In fact, this longer route is fraught with danger of injuries etc.

England, Spain, France, Brazil and Argentina. Even if they don't play for a year, they will still do well in the tournament.

We should have won our qualifying group outright if we are a serious team.

Kukutente23:
You didn't respond to the part that questioned your hypocritical behaviour of only remembering rule of law when ur doesn't favour Wike your political god

But I understand. The name Obi triggered a blur in your brain that nothing else matters once you see that name

Why not describe the rule of law flouted, with congent proof, that favoured Wike and that I supported?

You were the one that needlessly brought up Peter Obí into the discussion I was having with the other poster.

If possible, also state any post of mine where you can show proves Wike is my political God.

With the qualifying group we were in, we shouldn't be in this position, what a mess.

Segun and Femi Olukanmi.

Joseph and Peter Egharevba.

Richtaiwo:
Mynd44 seun Nlfpmod, please what is the emboldened supposed to mean? People now insult members of the forum with impunity?

It's the Obidient way, insult and make wild false allegations.

When they get banned, they start crying that mods are unfair.

NNtv:
It will be an easy win for us

Just like the final of the Nations up against Ivory Coast àbi?

Just like the qualifying group we were in shey?

We do need to be careful with our attitude to this game as we are not that good to be puffing our chests.

I believe this guys eat us last time we played them.

Kukutente23:
I'm surprised neutral you have not found a way to blame Obi or Obidients in this one.
But how zombies reason make me laugh sha
Same folks who support every morally corrupt action of these politicians suddenly remember rule of law when a higher force comes into play
Now you're asking for evidence. You see impunity simply begets impunity. If the rank and file of the military including the ex-servicemen believe the rule of law truly exists in Nigeria instead of power grab and muscle flexing, what happened on that day wouldn't have happened. The fact that majority of public opinion is in support of the army guys also shows how much people have lost faith in civilian governance. Tell your gods to retrace their steps. The signals from that encounter don't look good

What has Peter Obi and his deluded band of followers called Obidients got to do here?

We are about to go to 2026 and yet you are still showing your bitterness about Peter Obí losing an election in 2023.

I take it you have no proof of what the poster accused Wike of except mouthing off about majority of people this and that when you mean majority of Obidients who make up a continuously dwindling minority.

Bikonu rest.

melechpilusof:
No justice, no peace and that is why I avoid people.
If wike continues to dish out injustice, one day someone will resist and resistance can come in different forms. It was injustice birthed boko haram

How is Wike dishing out injustice?

The Army person is behaving with impunity and you are supporting them, when they do so in crossing paths with you, hope you don't complain you have fed the lion cub and it would have grown?

If Wike wrongly destroys my property, I will resort to the courts, that is the path Ọga retired naval officer should follow. Not put a group of soldiers together to stop the appointed official.

I really genuinely wish you could point out what Wike has done wrong as Abuja minister on ensuring people have the right documents on their property.

runningriot:
who is feeling entitled? Why can't you leap before you look? Who wants to be noticed? Look at glaring sycophancy! licking shoes of a paymaster just to be given flowers! Have you forgotten that Nairaland was created as a public forum for constructive contribution as well on the altar of equity and justice or is it anywhere in Nairaland that says others will be treated more equal than others why can't you attack the message rather than involving in Ad Hominem or Red herring even though I know you don't know this!. I can see why Nigeria is what it is? Sycophancy and injustice being celebrated...

So much grammar over nothing.

It's a public forum owned by a private person ergo it's a private forum.

You don't like as the owners are treating you, log out and move on. Lots have done it here, I have done it in other forums.

Imagine giving the owner advice that they will lose members as if they don't know that.

Stop bleating like an entitled baby.

Why are we so entitled in this Nigeria?

If you don't like the way the place is moderated, move on quickly.

Why make grand announcements like this just to be noticed?

Super pictures, I love them, thanks for sharing.

Brings back some incredible memories.

melechpilusof:
True. But when a minister is going around stealing people's land, bullying people, frustrating the masses because he is power drunk... I don't blame the soldiers, infact I would have done worse. Probably beat or leave a bullet in someones body.
You dare not abuse power.

Are you able to support any of these allegations against Wike?

Even if they were true, which I doubt, Armed forces have no businesses stopping it happening.

They can either vote the regime out or illegally carry out a coup or stay in their barracks.

You say you dare not abuse power yet you want to leave a bullet in someone's body.

helinues:
Hope Lagos matter no go quench some people like this.

The obsession is just crazy lately. They always sound as if they fell from the sky without having their own place to discuss about apart from Lagos state and SW in general

Di tin jus weak mi.

Ah ah, why only them?

LagosOrigin:
Bad market for all those Ogun, Oyo and Osun people claiming Lagos 😂

We said it that time will come that the true indigines of Lagos will be separated from chaffs from other south west states claiming Yoruba is one .

Who told you that Yoruba is one?

If you're not an indigine of Lagos, you don't have the right to claim you're from Lagos. Infact, you're no different from the Chinedu from Enugu and Ahmed from Kano living in Lagos.

Humour me by telling me how someone with a Lagos state address and a Yoruba name wouldn't get this certificate?

I can also tell you now that Ndi North with a Muslim name or two will be able to get this certificate.

Unfortunately, South South people will be caught in this net that has been cast as a result of Ndigbo Obidient misbehavour pre and post elections. A real shame but somewhat understandable.

Ndi Yoruba putting people in their place, after election noise, and you are pointing fingers at Ndi Yoruba in ala Yoruba. Nor go cover ya yansh wey dey smell oo, you hear.

melechpilusof:
In a democracy, a minister is a civilian who, along with elected officials, holds political authority over the military, which is a professional force that operates under the government's control. Ministers are responsible for policy and are accountable to the people, while the military is subordinate to civilian leadership and is meant to be a tool of the state, enforcing laws and defending the nation. This relationship ensures that the military does not become a political power, safeguarding against authoritarianism and prioritizing civilian control over the use of force.

In the event of use of Force, in the Wike vs 3 star General fracas, it was evident that the security guarding Wike would have over powered and if it came to it, killed all the military officers at the scene.

You must understand also that amongst Wike security details includes ex soldiers and special forces personnel. Yerima and his boss over stepped. Let the law take its full course.

THE REALITY:
Nigeria is a dysfunctional state at this moment, we all witnessed the last election and how it was rigged and stolen, so basically, the man leading us is not the people's choice. So basically, the Minister of the FCT is not the people's choice, infact the government can be said to be illegitimate.
The dysfunction of the Nigerian state also affects the mind of Nigerians. They cannot seem to process complex event and take a righteous stand. It is true that Wike is either an alcoholic or a drug addict at this point... a functional drug addict. If you watch his mannerisms from 2016 and compare to now you will see what I mean. Albeit, like Regina Daniels and many politicians and celebrities, they are classed as functional drug addicts because Despite their addiction they still contribute meaningfully to society and do not cause any disturbance or commit illegality.
When I first watched the video, I was shocked. My first impression was that the Military was totally wrong. They have no business guarding private property and prevent a sitting Minister from accessing the land considering the fact that they had no papers for the land in question. Nigerians are supporting this illegality based on the past antecedents of the man Wike, which is understandable considering that Nigerians are mostly simple minded people.
But people with conscience know that there is a big problem. This administration has lost all all respect both locally and internationally, that was the essence of my last post. The President has been holed up somewhere for somewhere for the past few days since the threat from President Trump, despite the threat to to protect Christians, President Tinubu has proven that he is powerless over the security of Nigeria. Since the pronouncements of Trump, the terrorists have killed Nigerians everyday till date. The terrorists also responded to Trump insisting that there is Jihad and Christian genocide ongoing in Nigeria. I trust Nigerians, the recent event of wike vs military will completely eclipse the issue of Christian genocide. You can even see Tinubu has come of hiding 😂😂.

At the end of the day, Nigeria is dysfunctional and only a revolution will set things right or are Nigerians doomed to die as slaves?

The Armed forces are meant to defend the country, they are not meant to defend their oga's property.

Whoever gave him that order needs court martialling if they are still in the army. If they are not, then he needs the court martial.

A country that is plagued with the amount of insecurity Nigeria is, is not the one armed forces personnel should be used to guard properties.

We appreciate the armed forces, they need to keep protecting the country.

You took 13 days to decide if you should end your carrier by collecting the alleged 300m and pervert judgement or do the right thing and receive a global recognition

Out of the 13 days you have 10 days left
Oga if I were you I will seek advice from international colleagues those who believe more in good name than immediate gain that may not last

Note that any decision you take on this matter have an everlasting impart in your life and that of your generation even unborn. You and your children will not live to enjoy that money

What was the mother saying before? Didn't she openly lie about her daughter's age and maturity cos of the marriage? Una go dey excuse nonsense cos of emotions... When the father openly refused to support the marriage who gave the daughter out? Be like you no dey use ur number 6! 😒

After collecting hundreds of millions from Ned Nwoko, na now she dey change mouth. You be real aswani 🤡

Oga, it is obvious that Rita only accepted what was happening because Regina had mare it clear she was going ahead with it whether or not her mum was on board.

Have you got proof of these millions she collected? You dey vex say shishi nor reach ya hand àbi.

No mind that one. Long throat woman sold her daughter to the man for money and status, now she's pretending as if she's innocent. That woman is the number 1 culprit.

Both mum and daughter have clearly stated mum was against it yet you are here saying your nonsense.

Mrfixitt:
That's a fat lie. An average Yoruba man will see black and say it's white just to defend his brother. Every Nigerian knows this as a fact

Are you talking about the Yorùbá's that Awo couldn't unite or the ones that gave Atiku and Obí one state each?

Yorùbá's are the easiest to split apart in Nigeria.

There you go, obidient laptop and data boys. This is not restricted to Ameachi boys alone. We see them everyday on nairaland and twitter.

He has just openly admitted to their propaganda

Oh this is not news to me. Infact if I had time, I would have been able to point out the Nairaland monikers involved in the dastardly act of churning out (mis)information.

Way too easy actually, you see when the Obidient moniker starts talking about laptop boys, APC WhatsApp groups, they are deflecting as thar is exactly what they themselves are.

MosakuAW:
>: We can clearly now say, it is the turn of the north to have a taste of "show of power" in Lagos after my brothers and sisters from the east have tasted it. Very soon all tribes will go their separate ways

You cant just pick beggars off the road without proper alternative things to do for them. Will you now send them back to the north or you will forced them to neighboring state to continue their venture. Misplaced priority! So much attention on things that are of no real danger to the people residing there.

I am sure you know full well they don't ask of their tribes first, Ndi Yoruba beggars amongst their midst would be rightfully removed.

Stop playing smart, if you want your Biafra, ask your representatives in Abuja for it.

Or maybe you can tell LASG your state and hometown and they can dump them all there.

Bahamas95:
When the country was working, now they've turned it upside down.

Back then when I was growing up we hardly had power failure. When light goes off at most 30minutes they've restored

Sorry when was this?

Whilst I agree it has gotten progressively worse, the stuff you just said is not true especially about "at most 30 minutes" !

NEPA was always a thing.

nairalanda1:
1. So why didn't nzeogwu resign and go into politics? Maybe millions won't have died?

2. Idiagbon was still part of a treasonous regime.

Yes I know first and second republic corrupt. But army intervention made matter worse

People were pleased about the coup until the smoke cleared and some were able to paint a tribal tinge to it (which in fairness was hard to defend).

However if he had been assigned to "deal with" Zik or Mbadiwe, he would have done it. That I am convinced about. Once more, he was let down.

The level of idiocy that WAI cured was wonderful to behold, shame once more, like in Nzeogwu's case, a principled officer was let down.
