Like someone said majority of the opportunities in Nigeria reside in Lagos and thats why we have the over population issue which made Lagos Chaotic, there is simply nothing anybody can do about the chaotic, stress, bad roads etc. Come to Lagos late December or Early January and see how serene the city will be, less traffic and less chaotic because every one had travelled to their home state for the new year celebrations.

Simple reason is concentration of opportunities in Lagos resulting to mass migration to Lagos causing Over Population.

If the Govt and private sector decides they want to divert the investments to other state obviously, people will move out of Lagos and there will be less migration to Lagos.

The report Meant Ghana's Richest not Africa's richest. Ghanaians are not even among the top 50 in Africa.

My mum asked me why the Emir was just smiling all the time...

I told her... Rich people don't frown!

I have been to the UAE (Dubai and Abu Dhabi) similar to Qatar, they are next door neighbours from the same ancestors, all Emiratis and Qataris are rich no poor citizen. They drive Super cars not regular cars.

The Qatar guy dressed Messi for the historic moment

Everyone wants to be part of the historic moment

Qatar guy? That's the Emir of Qatar. King and Ruler of all Qatar.

Hugo Lloris is a useless goal keeper. Simple penalties he could not catch. I just knew if it went to Penalties, Emiliano Martinez will win it for Argentina.

Best World Cup Final Ever.

Atleast subject your decisions to VAR to be sure. The VAR officials are cocky, if FIFA want to favour one side, they always seem to use the VAR officials to not check controversial decisions.

Not a penalty, it just seems FIFA wants Argentina to win this world Cup.

This one no get sense at all.

PDP thinks we forget things easily, was it not the same thing they did prior to the 2015 Election. APC were not allowed to use Stadiums in PDP controlled states and even the Eagle square in Abuja for the presidential campaign.

Some of you folks don't seem to understand when they say Tinubu and his guys ( His successors) built the new Lagos. I know particularly Fashola transformed Lagos to what it is today but Tinubu placed him there because he felt he shared his vision. LAGOS was a den of criminals pre- 1999 and a refuse dump of a state.

The officials that use VAR are criminals, they saw it but intentionally didn't tell the referee to go check. That was simply not a penalty.

He billed to perform for the Fan Festival not the opening Ceremony.

See one of Nigeria's coaching crew dragging Portugal's Pepe shirt with Moses Simon.

Nobody is expecting them to beat Portugal but at least put up a performance. This game is not even a test for the portugese players. Its like a training session for them. Its just a warm up session for the team. Waste of resources for the Portugese. They should have chose a serious African team.

Its best Arteta focus on the EPL and Europa league this season. He doesn't have the squad depth to compete at all competitions. He should use U17 boys to play this game.

Then it's either you do not know much about Lagos or you are very young.

I can mention too many privately owned schools aside from the missionary schools in Lagos State, before Tinubu. I must credit the return of missionary schools to Tinubu, because he returned them at his tenure.

Cinemas? There were cinemas everywhere. There were Idera, Oregie, Pen cinema, National theater, Glover hall, etc , ages before Tinubu.

Aside from the privately owned schools, Lagos State had its own Schools, Polytechnic and University, before Tinubu's tenure. I can mention the Federal/missionary owned schools to you. I was born and grew up in Lagos and I know Lagos completely.

Lagos had health officials long before the war. There were wole wole, who ensured that surrounding areas were very clean. Refuse was properly disposed.

Transportation was well developed in Lagos long before independence. Before Lagos State transport corporation, there were oluwoles. Before the Oluwoles, there were Marcopolos. There were molues and Kia Kia buses (danfos) emerged around 1970 or before. Tinubu only stopped molues from getting into Lagos Island following his own idea of a better city.

Victoria Island/Ikoyi/Dolphin were largely residential. Broad Street, Idumota, etc, up to the present secretariat, Obalende and Keffi street in Ikoyi we're commercial areas.

Lekki sprouted out from the destruction of Maroko, by the late Brig. Raji Rasaki in 1989, as the governor. Victoria Island annex was extended to cover the present Lekki Phase 1 as people started migrating there. Those who could not afford the property prices in V/I and Ikoyi started relocating there and further down.

Tinubu had his own ideas of how Lagos should be further developed. He improved the healthcare system, especially LASUTH. Ayinke house was built and donated by the late Mobolaji Bank Anthony in memory of his mother. Tinubu created the bus rapid system and following the withholding of Lagos funds by Obasanjo, Tinubu developed the tax plan. I remember clearly how some companies that failed to pay excise duties, had their gates locked up until they paid.

There are better administrators than him. Marwa and Ambode made Lagos liveable. Marwa particularly chased agberos away from Lagos, but they returned when Tinubu became the governor. Now even an agbero organised a rally in his favour in Lagos. Intellectuals attended the rally, jumping up and down.

Baba Jakande brought the idea of a Lagos metroline. This same PMB, blocked it as a military president in 1984.

Tinubu's popularity centers on his ability to give out money with ease. As far as I am concerned, there are three political moneybags in this country, namely: Atiku, Tinubu and Wike.Their resources make them who they politically are presently.

Tinubu told a clear lie, but we will not overlook his own contributions in Lagos.

Nobody is saying Tinubu built Lagos from the scratch because Lagos was developed by first the colonial masters and the the Federal Government since it was the Federal capital territory but as soon as the FCT was moved to Abuja, Lagos was left to rot, we all remembered how the city became a haven to Armed robbery,Pick pockets at Oshodi and Lagos Island, refuse dumps everywhere and infrastructural decay. We could not drive through Oshodi to Mushin because Under Bridge (Oshodi Isale was blocked by Market people and people selling electronics). Tinubu and his successors refurbished Lagos to what it is today.

Is it that most people on this thread forgot that Pre-Tinubu, Lagos the former Capital territory was abandoned by the Federal Government and completely focused on Abuja. Infrastructural decay, refuse dumps everywhere, traffic was unbearable pick pockets, roads like under bridge Oshodi to Mushin was blocked by guys selling electronics. The city was a complete shadow of itself.

Na El-Classico Wike wan go watch for Spain this weekend ( Wike a big fan of Real Madrid) no be any meeting hin wan go do.

KingLennon:
That is a massive loss but well the governor is not interested because he stays in a GRA...

The Governor Yahaya Bello doesn't stay in any GRA in Kogi, he literally lives in Abuja. Only comes to Lokoja for state affairs.

I still don't understand, will the players join at the 70th minute mark or just the fans because I don't understand how they will stop the game in between play just to honour the queen. Like some folks alluded earlier will they stop play when a player is about to score a goal?

Blossompowerpuf:
While her post is really extreme and came at the worst time (when Britons are mourning), and will of course lead to punishments to her, and a blackening of her image; what she said is true. During colonization, they raped, and killed, and sold Africans to slavery. Even if Queen Elizabeth was a ceremonial head, she could have used her authority as the monarch to put laws in place to abolish slavery. But did she do that? no, she did not.

To all of you posting her on your status, think about her influence on Nigeria as a country before you click send. Commonwealth? Yes. But degrading Africans, tearing down our structures, commonizing traditional leaders, and also stealing our prized artworks? A big yes.

Many of you are just ignorant, in her time slavery was already abolished. She became Queen in 1940's. She wasn't even born yet when slavery was abolished in the late 19th century. She was not even Queen yet when Nigeria was almagamated.

benjsniper33:
Yen yen yen…

Did Elizabeth had respect for our ancestors before she forcefully lumped us together in a place called Nigeria under an British sanctioned oppressive regime ?

Nah

She was not the queen during our Almagamation, her Father was King then King George.

BlueRayDick:
Money good. Within a year of collecting better salary at Arsenal baba quickly do the needful.

Na so Ben White too do, towards end of last season hin sef propose to hin girlfriend.

Man united totally destroyed 4:0

It is finished now for United 3: 0

If United truly want a change, they need to go the Arsenal route, flush out players that doesn't align with the style of play of the coach, flush out players that are causing issues in the dressing room. All players needs to see clearly the Manager's vision.

E don happen again. Bury this team now.
