Sunny_bobo: He didn't say best tarred roads. He said best tarred road NETWORK.

So of all big states in Nigeria Lagos,Abuja,Rivers,Kano na Anambra get the best tarred road NETWORK in Nigeria? Hmmm ride on am listening.

omongbatim: Ask APC.

I don't need to ask APC,I live in lagos like Joe igbokwe.so if igbos are 45% yorubas,Calabar,Edo,Hausa's are all in total of 55%.Guy you dey fall my hand o close dis case.

omongbatim: From APC. https://www.nairaland.com/1383852/igbos-45-lagos-joe-igbokwe

So yorubas are a minority in lagos state abi?

One Drop: LIAR! ANAMBRA HAS THE BEST TARRED ROAD NETWORK IN NIGERIA, IT'S ON RECORD CURTESY OF GOV. PETER OBI.

Bro travel well am nt saying Anambra doesn't have some good roads bt what do you mean by best tared road.if you ve been to the new Eko Atlantic city(Ikoyi/lekki) you wld see a world class Toll gate wit state of the art road.Biggest project in Nigeria in 2011 world bank assisted project.what of Abuja roads.Guy stop saying something you don't know

Sunny_bobo: So he picked them from under a bridge and dropped them under another bridge in another state by 3:00am, innit?

I travel to PH a lot from here(lagos) and I know it takes me almost the whole day getting there.Why didn't Peter obi respond to the resettlement letter that was sent to him.its possible they went to other states to drop some other destitutes b4 getting to Anambra don't you think so?coz there is no reason for dem to go drop dem @ 3am. ua

Sunny_bobo: I hope you know that the Igbos make up 45% of the voters register in Lagos state. Go figure mate.

Don't be ignorant broda,the main fact igbos have a good percentage of population in lagos doesn't make dem the majority.Yorubas still make up the largest percentage as the indigenous pple followed by igbos,Calabar,Edo,Hausa's and other tribes.Where did you get ur own 45% from?

omongbatim: He is not good enough for you and you think he is good for Ibos?

Plz explain to your people that's if u reside in the east. Fashola didn't nt pick out a tribe to deport,he did it to all destitutes in the state.Lagos is too overcrowded what's the point coming to lagos to sleep under the bridge when you ve a roof over ur head in the village and doing something tangible.

omongbatim: Please take Ngige, Ibo dash you for free

We no want old man.My own point is that if you guys feel he can do d job,let him contest and give him ur support regardless of the Party bt if nt then find a better person.I don't know ow he is a traitor, d fact he is a member of the APC doesn't make him a traitor @ least we get one state for SW wey b LP Yorubas voted GEJ nt PDP during the last elections coz they felt he was the man for d job even though we were wrong.Focus on good governance nt party.

Sunny_bobo: Just listen to yourself dude. No Igbo man begs Fashola to be appointed into the cabinet but every serious contender to the office of the governor of Lagos state knows that in any contest for that office between 2 strong and evenly balanced candidates, the Igbo votes would decide the winner. It is in this context that every administration would want to appoint Igbos into their cabinet do as to secure Igbo votes.


You just chill until you have an Igbo deputy governor in Lagos state.

Dream on broda not in this lifetime will lagos produce an Igbo deputy Govenor,when non-lagos indigenous yorubas don't attain deputy govenor.Bt if he decides nt to employ any igbo person into his cabinet there is nothing anyone can do.Pple wld vote based on his works in the state and not based on if he has an igbo person in his cabinet

Chimoski87: if you don't know oprah shut ur mouth it's not a
must to talk

I wonder whether ur brain is intact. Somebody is ridiculously saying that Oprah is d richest celebrity, yet u can't reason with ur brain to object to it. My cousins in primary schools even know that Oprah is nt even in d top 30 richest celebrities worldwide. Pple like u always take report especially from Sahara reporters seriously without consulting d internet. Take home assignment for today, google d richest 40 celebrities in d world & tell me d answer by tomorrow

See don't blame her, she spoke the truth there she has more than 10% of dangote and Abrahamovic's wealth. If you watch E! Regurlarly you wld know forbes don't refer Bill gate and the rest as Celebrities.Celebrity in this context means TV personality

me_for_you: First of all, let me say it again, lagos is not yorubaland at all. Except the rural areas of badagry, epe and ikorodu. Lagos was former british colony like hong kong and nigeria's former capital city. Developed largely by igbos and europeans.
And for a state that has capabable politicians like prof soludo and prof akunyili, it is a big insult to say that ngige is the best thing that has happened to anambra.

Lagos is not a yoruba land abi? So its an igbo land.Guy stop deceiving yourself.Has lagos state produced an igbo govenor b4?Lagos(eko),Eyo festival celebrated by the Lagos state govt,Obas of Lagos are they igbos?Ikorodu,yaba,surulere,Agege,Ikoyi,lekki,Ajah,Epe do they sound igbo to you? See your mouth igbos and Europeans developed lagos indeed.its so simple lagos a yoruba land was developed by the white men and bcoz it was the former capital of Nigeria.Now they ve created a new capital city Abuja go and claim its an igbo land. a

tankoemmanuel: Only last month, a very big plaza in Olodi, Apapa, belonging to Igbo entrepreneurs and housing hundreds of Igbo traders was burnt at night. The next day Fashola was at the site and promised to rebuild it at Lagos State’s expense. No Igbo governor has visited the place up to this moment, and none has promised to assist the victims. Last December, Ngozi Nwosu, an actress, was reported to be down with a serious liver ailment, so an appeal fund was launched. No Southeast government, including her home state of Imo State, responded, just as no wealthy Igbo men and women did. Only N1.5 million out of 6 million needed for treatment in the United Kingdom, could be raised. Fashola provided the remaining N4.5 million. And now some so-called Igbo activists are accusing him of anti-Igbo sentiments.

Two months ago, Fashola completed the biggest housing estate he has built and named it for Emeka Anyaoku, an erstwhile Commonwealth secretary general from Anambra State. At a time some Igbo people cannot be hired as teachers or civil servants in South-eastern states, Fashola recruits them in large numbers, with some becoming judges and magistrates. His Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Ben Akabueze, is from the Southeast. The chief executive of the state Infrastructure Maintenance and Regulatory Agency, Joe Igbokwe, is an engineer and publisher from Nnewi. Mac Duruigbo, from Imo State, is Fashola’s Personal Assistant on the Media.

Fashola gave Ikemba Nnewi practically a state burial last year in Lagos, the only non-Southeast governor to accord the famous Biafran leader this high honour. He was the only governor who attended last March the Chinua Achebe colloquium at Brown University on Rhode Island, United States, where he praised Achebe for his monumental achievements at a time the great writer was the butt of criticism by the Yoruba political establishment following Achebe’s unflattering remarks about Obafemi Awolowo in his new book, There Was A Country, a personal account of the Nigerian civil war. So, how did some of us come about the brainwave that the dynamic and cosmopolitan Lagos State governor is anti-Igbo? Simply because his government relocated some Igbo elements to their home state, some of whom came to Lagos to do business but instead took to hard drug consumption and became urchin, better known as “area boys”! Interestingly when Fashola began to crack down on “area boys”, most of whom are from his state, Igbo traders were over the moon, rejoicing that the governor had saved them from the miscreants of “area boys” who had for decades been tormenting the traders daily, extorting huge sums from them and viciously assailing those who refused with dangerous weapons.

Just read this guy's comment,he is speaking the truth.If Fashola decides nt to employ ibos into his cabinet,there is nothing anyone can do.For God sake,ibo destitutes were d one sent back home which he did inform Gov.Peter Obi.Other tribes including yorubas were also sent home so what is the fuse about.Igbos just like to shy away from the truth bt prefer to hide under sentiments.

TGlobe: with fashola apc cant win.. many yorubas will not vote fashola because he is mean to poor yorubas.

Broda Nigerians are nt easy to Govern,you have to take them wit a strong hand.That's's what Fashola is doing.

I like what one igbo guy said,sentiments asides this man is a visionary leader nt because am yoruba bt this man has what it takes to lead Nigeria.How many times are we going to tell the igbos that he did the resettlement tin to destitutes regardless of the tribe.Other tribes including Yoruba were involved in the resettlement.Abi what's the use of Sleeping under the bridge in lagos,cooking and washing ur clothes under d bridge if living in lagos is nt working for you go back to your village nw @ least u ve shelther over your head there.Many just want to come to lagos to pose to their village friends.Igbos should stop this unneccessary hatred for Gov.Fashola,normal hardworking igbos are still doin their business in lagos no one is driving them away.Come 2015 all hands on deck we must vote Gov.Fashola as president.if igbos still continue with their hate Yoruba,Hausa and some other tribes vote is enough to win the Election.GEJ has done nothing nw sentiments aside,Many yorubas voted for GEJ bt he is nt doing anything no single noticeable achievement.we want a better life bt we nt voting the right leaders.

Breezy get well soon mate,I can't afford to loose u.apart from his lifestyle which is awkward,this guy makes great music,great performer stepping full time into MJ's shoes.Jesus Saves #Team breezy#

Racism hmmm dats a white man's disease.So far the black race and the white race coexist,there will always be racism.This case one has to look @ it critically.For the fact that no black person has ever bought anything expensive in that store doesn't give her the right to assume Oprah was poor.Her responsibility is to sell to whomever has the cash whether black,white,rich or poor,or well dressed or haggardly dressed.Except a notice was on the wall of the store to sell to only white folks bcoz you cannot judge the size of one's pocket based on colour coz am sure oprah wasn't dressed haggard.so the issue still boils down to racial discrimination.I was a victim of racism as well when I was to work @ the London 2012 olympics,when I was asking for which team I belonged to and I was told to wait only for one of the staffs to go call the security.Anoda case,I was the only black person among a whole lot of white pple and they wanted to take pictures wit me bt i refused,they kept looking @ me like they ve never seen a black person b4 I felt so uncomfortable.Even on the train and Buses white pple prefer to stand all through the journey than sit close to a black person nt all of them sha.Racism will always be there let's just learn to live wit it.

I want to really convince a lot of pple here.First,b4 making Lagos the FCT who owned the land? Yaba,Mushin,Oshodi,Lekki,ikoyi do they sound like Igbo names.Nw we know lagos of 2day is a collective effort of all Nigerians as a result of its FCT status b4,but if a civil war happens today who will lay claim of Lagos?Yorubas own the land.After d civil war,you came back to lagos,why didn't you guys stay in lagos when Ojukwu asked all igbos to come back home since you claim its a No man's land you need to show appreciation to the yorubas for accomodating you back.The land is for yorubas,bt u igbos ve been involved in d development of lagos which gives you the right to stay bt if you then refuse to respect ur host then you should sell ur properties and go back to the East.Gov Fashola did the right thing,do not look @ it from d tribal angle.we all envy Dubai,London and d big cities arnd d world,these cities do resettlement of destitutes pple who do not have a job,house,family and friends.

Bobby4090: Most of the detainees that were dumped in Onitsha by this Fascist Governmet at 3am said the were formerly held in Camps in Ikorodu AGAINST THEIR WILL for months prior to the deportation.[b][/b] A particular girl said that her senior sister that she was living with didnt even know where she was till when they were deported.

Why should a democratically elected state Government be running and operating illegal detention and concentration Camps. Under what laws in the constitution does Fashiola use to operate these camp where be put those 69 ibos. This calls for a judicial or an independent investigation and charges of human rights abuse should be levelled against Fashola.

A tribal personality like Fashola is not what the world or Nigeria needs now or less he will set this country on fire.

@ the bolded above,you are very funny so Fashola is going abt picking just anyow Ibos on the street of lagos?.You must be mentally ill, for God sake how many times are we going to tell you is pple living on the streets,Under bridges with no family and friends that were deported back home to reunite them with their families.Most of these pple can't go back home bcoz of shame and pose a lot of risk to other pple going abt their bizness in lagos.Besides Fashola tried to rehabilitate dis pple to find dem something they could do with their hands bt they chose to go back on d streets.Besides its nt only igbos that were deported so what's it wit you guys always crying.You think everything done to you in Nigeria is as a result of tribal discrimination.@ d fake Tunde Olaniyi guy,I have been to d East on several occasion and to be sincere nt bcoz am Yoruba bt the east still has a long way to go interms of Infrastructure and Modernization,all they do is trade in d east you hardly find a company there.

maxwello.yg:
the question is: why did you drop them by 3am ?

Mr Oga is Lagos a neighbouring state to Anambra state? I know how long he took me to get to d East from Lagos when I travelled to PH of recent considering Accidents,Robbery,trailers obstructing the roads and the poor state of these inter-state roads. Don jazzy is a true lagosian and gave his own opinion no body is discriminating Igbos in lagos,just adhere to d laws of the land and nobody will have any problem.

Some ibos just fail to understand what Gov Fashola did,most of you haven't been to lagos b4 to see ow pple live under d bridge all over lagos,its better they return to their families in the Villages irrespective of what tribe they come from.Now for some of you saying is it proper to drop them @ 3am.Last I remembered onitsha is nt close to lagos and if you are to travel to the east you wld probably get there @ night considering there might be serz hold ups on the inter state roads.Gov Fashola informed Gov Peter Obi of what he intends doing bt he didn't respond.Besides Lagos didn't start this act of repartration.Destitutes from all part of the country was taken home to reunite wit their families.

Messi nor Ronaldo deserves it,Frank Ribery deserves it.Messi will not win it coz he will win Ballon d'or so I think Ribery will win the UEFA title, for the role he played for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and UCL.

The figure speculated b4 nw was 29million naira per month don't know if that is basic salary or including Allowances.Bt the truth remains that we Nigerians are the fools here for nt holding these guys accountable.If they like they should increase it to 100 million all you will do is complain and grumble.Nigeria a wealthy Nation,rich in Mineral resources,culture,land mass yet Poor people.

plaindealer: Lagos state is in fact One of the poorest.

The fact Rivers state gets the highest federal govt allocation doesn't make them the richest.Lagos state also gets one of the highest federal allocation in the country coupled with Internally generated revenue and highest Foreign investments in Nigeria,makes LASG the richest state in Nigeria.

Fools plenty for this forum,don't you know that a Monopoly Party is nt Good for a country.A two party system is d best for this country just like the USA and Britain.So that when we fed up with one we can try the other,that will make them all sit up and look towards Good Governance of the people.The so called Jonathan and d PDP what have they done for d past 14yrs?Nothing so there is no harm in trying some other party bt I do not support violence from APC. I believe the so called other APC is a political instrument created by PDP to stop Tinubu and Buhari's APC

FrostyZonn: Well, we were both looking at it from different perspective. You may be right on your's, as I'm sure that I'm right on mine.

Sorry abt d previous reply it was messed up am using my BB for this and is always difficult posting here on NL with a fone. I understand what u mean by the colour tin,I know most Germans and Polish and Ukrainian are usually very white and their women blonde, bt I assure you dat italians we're never called white niggas.Some few italians are as white as Germans, I worked with one b4 so I know, go to britain and see how Polish pple displace black pple of their jobs.Don't also forget that italy is part of d G8 countries.cheers.

FrostyZonn: Dude, WTF!! Do you even know your history and Geography?

Both Poland and Ukraine can't possibly be termed as white Niggers because of their colouring. A Polack for example can't be differentiated from a German because apart from the close proximity of both countries, an average German and Polack has blonde hair and blue eyes. Ukrainian are even blonder than the polish and Germans combined, because of their ancestry from the Vikings, who as many people know as the blonde race. If all this things are taken into consideration, you can see the reason why it's impossible to call them White Niggers.

Italians on the other hand are a Mediterranean stock with natural olive complexion. It's also very hard to find a blonde pure-blood Italian. So with all this features and characteristics, it's easy to call them White Niggers, along with Albanians, Greek, Romanians, and Bulgarians.

The term "white nigger" were coined by the Germans during world war II on the Italian population, after conquering and occupying their country and forcing them to fight on their side.

Dude I really don't want to argue with you, I lived in britain for a good 5yrs and a white friend of mine told me all dis.The reason they call dem white niggas is coz these countries dat i mentioned Poland and Ukraine they ve a poor economy and thereby flock into the UK,France and Germany to engage in jobs ordinary white pple wldnt do dat black pple do is nt a matter of coz italians aint so white like the british and Germans.Italy has always had a good Economy until of late so get ur facts right dude.sorry abt d no-punctuation

Something tells me My Arsenal FC will prove all critics wrong dis coming season.I just hope this twitter account aint for T.B Joshua.I must say its scaring me.

FrostyZonn: Italians and Greeks are considered as Niggers of Europe by other Western Europeans, because of their Mediterranean stock. Throwing bananas at black people is their way of coping. I kinda feel bad for them. They are such sad race.

Point of correction mate,italians were never regarded as white niggas.The white niggas are the eastern Europeans like Ukraine,Poland etc.,

venorite: A whole prime minister had banana thrown at him and there's no picture to support ur story...pls u guys should try and get pictures,it makes d story look real

She is nt the prime minister, read well

Sometimes I just hate the grading system, coz I graduated with a 3.35 CGPA which is 2.2 and u still get classified with someone with a 2.5 CGPA is really bad,it really pains me.Most Pple in the Nigeria society today get their grades based on cheating @ d exam hall,Sleep with lecturers and all sorts.2.2 aint entirely written off bt if your with a third class try getting professional certs dat might just be what is needed to get employed in some fields.And I saw someone saying Third class goin for masters,don't know of dat o even some uni don't allow 2.2 and some do bt u ve to ve a good CGPA like mine and to the guy who said Masters first class did u mean to say Distinction?

Donyswit: I'm surprised that no body has noticed that something is wrong with this story. When this was initially reported, most niralanders questioned the credibility of this story because picture of the said creature was not posted, now only few days later, the Nigerian police has produced a picture, who is fooling who, we are not that timid, it may not just be an attention seeking journalist's report, it may be the police trying to cover up a despicable act for a ransom in return. Since when did an Octopus start looking like a human, is the whole crowd and the father of the trader that naive not to have identified the creature. I'm convinced that something is fishy about this story, maybe the police has gotten to the root of this through the person that sold the fish to the trader and an awesome bribe is responsible for the twist in this story.

Hmmmm! Very true they can't be dat ignorant nt to know dat the creature doesn't look human.Something is definitely fishy abt this story. Good point. o
