If 1$ was equal to 2500 yen, they will be very happy. You know why, they are a productive hardworking people. Here you have a bunch of lazy people who just want to import everything and when they cannot afford their imports, they resort to protest.

Since 1 pound is now 2500 naira, how about you make lemonade from Lemon and import 1000 pound worth of items, that is already 2.5 million naira.

Nonsense

Who would create the production capacity?
It lies on the government to be productive,not the citizens

MossadAgent:
You know absolutely nothing.

Go to Marina area in Calabar and tell them to point you to the museum and see where Nigeria's first colonial capital office and residence was.


Ipob graduate

Simple Google will clear your ignorance, gosh

MossadAgent:
Calabar was the first capital of Nigeria.

The colonial House of govt is now the Calabar Museum.


Do you know anything other than to falsely claim "we iz juice".

Calabar was never a capital of Nigeria, only capital of oil rivers protectorate

You are the one that shouldn't allow your obvious prejudice towards Yorubas to cloud your judgment and research.

We learn everyday and I have taught you something about Lagos state today.

I have not seen anywere else that proves the info on that piece / blog

Iamgrey5:
You have no idea of what you talking about.

Everyone knows Apapa town founded by Oyos.

The indigenous people of the Area are aware.

Read and research stop believing in fairy tales and fables

Iamgrey5:
OYO used port in Ajase, Port Novo in Benin Republic and Apapa in Lagos

https://tankterminals.com/news/the-story-of-the-amazing-apara-oshodi-oworonshoki-ojota-expressway/

This is wrong info,look for authentic publications

Iamgrey5:
You are the one that needs to read more about Lagos sir..


Even Bini had a port for trading in lagos and Oyo also had a port for trading in Lagos.

Oyo used the whydah port in Benin Republic not the LAGOS port,

Benin used the port at ghotun,not the LAGOS port.

Until improvements to ships in the mid to late 19th century

18th century ships had difficulty berthing in LAGOS ports due to the terrain etc

You Yorubas need to do soul searching about the knowledge you hold,I have come to realise the Yorubas are victims of a lot of miseducation and misinformation.
It's a honest genuine concern

Iamgrey5:
Lagos was not viable but it's one of few cities or state in Nigeria that Adopted a name European traders gave to it.

Lagos has been viable since before the beginning of slave trade long before the British thought of coming to Africa..

You are very wrong,pls read more about Lagos

Iamgrey5:
Lagos was separate from South and Northern regions

Lagos colony was later joined with Southern Nigeria in 1906 or so.

Lagos had been a business district for nearly 200 years before it was joined with Southern Nigeria.

However, under the military the other parts of Lagos was forcefully made Lagos like Ikeja business district etc..

Nonetheless, Lagos is not the capital of Nigeria anymore, Focus on Abuja..

You are lying ,Lagos was not viable till the British claimed it in 1856, then it became a capital atleast cc 1914 till 1991.

LAGOS was a British to FG initiative

MossadAgent:
See this one

Calabar was the first capital of Nigeria until WW1 and German Cameroun next door forced Lugard to move the capital to Lagos

Calabar was reduced to a mere province under the Old Eastern Region with Enugu built from scratch using the resources from minority provinces.

It's now you remember Calabar. When Calabar was trapped in your eastern Region it was totally neglected for Enugu project.

Where is that your Enugu today in the scheme of things ?


It's good that you are all now seeing the tribal bigotry and Ibo supremacist ideology and practices of Zik and his minions.

Instead of ensuring Calabar compete with Lagos, Zik was more bothered dragging Lagos and building Enugu .

It's now you see the strategic geo-economic relevance of calabar.

Good morning.

LAGOS was Nigerias capital not calabar or enugu

The mumu Igbo don go dash him cash to the SW NW system

Two more ECONOMIC capitals needs to be built from scratch in Calabar and portharcourt and possibly Kaduna and lokoja.

The money proposed for the LAGOS Calabar way,should have been used to invest in Calabar, as a new centre of economy.just the way Abuja was built.

Not only will it foster development but will engender healthy cooperation and competition amonst the economic blocks.

It will also assuage the fear of the Yorubas of loosing their precious LAGOS( former Nigerias capital)

LAGOS was a colonial and FG initiative

It was never a Yoruba initiative

Christistruth02:
That one was jailed

We don’t support rubbish

Do the same with Kanu

He belongs in Jail too

But gumi should be free
Igboho should be free

Post videos of adeyinka grandson too

Instead why can't the Christians be warned to be well armed and resist invaders?

Nyamiriflathed:
I see. Like Peter Obi's hatred for the Yorubas.
The same bigotry Peter Obi unleashed in Anambra.

Hypocrite.

You are posting a publication, which isn't even verified,the Yorubas are all over platforms preaching Igbo hate

The increase in mass genocide,absolutism of state power,distribution of palliatives, censorship, prevention of dissent and protest since the APC came to power are all symptoms of a communist authoritarian system.

The SW brought this system upon us

There is heavy censorship in Nigeria now,akin to military days,heavy threats on people's freedom to associate and protest.

Forced poverty,then palliative distribution system.

This is all symptoms of a growing communist system in Nigeria since the emergence of APC.

Very close relationship with China etc.

Nigeria keeps swinging,one government comes in to destabilise the economy another comes in to stabilise,no improvements.

These people are disgusting

Have always maintained that there is an evil machination against minority tribes of the Middlebelt by the SW-NW politico system and the general major tribes of Nigeria, north to south.

They deliberately marginalise and seek to kill ,destroy the people of the northcentral.

There as been a calculated attempt right from inception of Nigeria to deprive the Middlebelt of infrastructure and development.

Particularly kogi.

It's time the kogi people rise to the occasion to demand the presidency to come to their region and state.

RenaissanceGuy:
My own grouse is that Africa didn't have access to mirrors until the 15th century whereas the Bible was already making reference to mirrors as far as as more than 1,400 years before the Europeans came.

How do you know Africa didn't have access to mirrors,were do you people get these narratives from? The so called mirrors ,were well built luxury mirrors for elites,everyday people had local mirrors

They will tell you to be patient for another 10 years

The Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba entities that Nigeria is made up of can't build a world power.just forget it

DMerciful:
You're shortsighted and narrow-minded.

My family(myself and my wife) have more money combined than the money we had before we came. We have dual citizenship including our children so we can come to Nigeria and Canada as we like and the Canadian passport gives us over 100 countries travel visa free.

You wanna talk about standard of living and healthcare?

Mind you almost 98% of Canadians are immigrants including the whites, they only came earlier!

Atleast,build your own country first
