If you know that, then what are you complaining about ?

Those in the creeks of lagos know themselves, so what is your complain about ?

Unfortunately, you are from somewhere in the Sahel. Or does your Borno state now have swamps and creeks too?
Mind your business.

Omarbah:
All this talk and yip yapping about breaking Nigeria is around the oil revenue. I mean let's be serious. There are laws
that govern Nigeria and they should be followed. The government does not have the right to redistribute the oil from
on-shore drilling  and this means apart from taxes, the Fg should not touch any of it.  The Northerners should not ask for it either.
And for the off shore drilling, it should be redistributed to the whole country since it is the territory of the Nigerian' government. And the Fg
is the only one that should determine how to do so.
Now certain people want it all. They want the Northerners to be completely deprived of any resource from oil drilling. If they had to decide
the North would not get 1 penny from oil just because they live close to the "Sahara".
There are laws, let's apply them. These conferences are all bullshit.

I know someone who grows laws on his guinea corn farm; his wife makes laws with kuli kuli and his cows invent laws every time they shyte.

Mojibola:
and as for your question, if you indeed could waste your time looking for pictures just to justify your stewpeed hatred for lag, if the pictures are real, do you have to come here and ask everyone?. IMHO it is not so bright!

Dude, you are daft. If I had wanted to insult Lagos, don't you think there are pics of Makako, Idimi, Ijora Badia etc? Just look at the swamps and creeks in the pics and stop making up id!ots tales of "hatred."
At least a fool like you has learnt one new thing today; Lagos sits in creeks and swamps just like the ND. It is a pity you are just realising it.

Please take it manfully, some of us are here to cure ignorance; we are here to teach, teach, teach the rocks, stones and gutter brethren parading the place.

Next to go should be MTN staff. Deport every last one of the SA people.
Lets see who has more to lose.

For now, NASS will address the inequity and injustice inherent in the current derivation formula. Guess who holds the majority of the votes?  

@Ngodigha1, the issue is on the legitimate table. A bill will be introduced to right the derivation wrong if you people continue your impotent threats.[/quote]What a dimwit! NASS ke! lolzzz!
The President can dictate whatever revenue allocation formula he desires.

GEJ should make sure he changes that before he leaves, all in the spirit of true federalism.

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=888860.msg10353035#msg10353035 date=1331161974]I've been telling you lazy people who have been yelling, parasite, 100% resource control, e.t.c, that you have no claim whatsoever on the offshore oil greater than that of any other Nigerian from any other state.  You have to fight a war and defeat the rest of us before you can lay claim on 100% offshore oil. Its time to start sharing offshore oil based on population - the fairest way to do it.

You can have 100% resource control of resources located within your state, that is only fair. No fisherman in the ND can claim anything far away in the Atlantic where their wooden boat cannot reach. By the time we sit down and redo this derivation, you people may regret calling others parasites.  When we request "May the real parasites stand up", you people may be the responders.

Dudu_Negro, stop exposing the foolery of these people. What's your problem? Let them carry on.[/quote]Lol! You are only getting tired of the little you steal. Una go soon join Niger.
The great thing about the Presidency going to the SS is that it has thrown up the deep hypocrisies that are the foundation of Nigeria. Those hypocrisies WILL be uprooted so that Nigeria can progress, instead of practising an oficial form of the almajiri system.

Enjoy the pic.

Mojibola:
Sometimes i wonder why the poster has so much hatred for Lagos, or am i missing something here?

Maybe your id!icy.
Please try to answer the questions asked, or waka pass if you have no clue. This thread is about rectifying the ballooning ignorance that's evident with many (like yourself, judging by your stup!d response).

DaLover:
Ever wonder why the SW is the most vocal against GEJ, they feel he is going to upset the system,

The next stage of militancy has to be more control of the companies, they will have to move, if GEJ will not do it because he is afraid to be labeled tribalist, then it will have to be done by force, its not a previllage, its a right, economic control of the nigerdelta must not remain in the hands of the yorubas, if we are uneducated we will be trained, the warning has been served

Q.E.D.

It is easy to bring them to their senses. All that needs be done is ensure that their "huge population" is not allowed to vote:

Please don't mind that clown he is anonymous. He opposed any good deed from other party leaders, except his clueless retardeen uncle and his co looters are his favorite. Good development from Gov. Fash am really impressed.

Is this person you call retardeen one of your ancestors?

alj harem:
It was MEND that first describe there places of hiding as Creeks so what is the problem here ?

If you say you are du.mb and I call you du.mb are you going to be angry at me ?

You sound like a fool (and its fools this thread aims to school and teach).
Does the presence of creeks in the ND obviate the obvious fact that there are creeks and swamps in Lagos?

Standing5:
Do people in Lagos' creek cry of marginalization from the FG? The answer is no,  that's the reason people hardly hear about creeks in Lagos.
Beaf, u sound confused here. . .haba!

So, in your case, when people cry about marginalisation, your instinct is to behave like a beast or slave master? Curious!
It is unfortunate that such bestial instincts make you forget geography 101.

I would love to hear from others.

1luvkipsus:
I read with nostalgia the different version of and responses to the deportation of Nigerians by South African govt.What many of us don't understand is 'why would SA suddenly begin to deport our kinsmen from their land?' Are there genuine reason(s) for this action?Have investigation been concluded and results showed that SA maliciously deported our people?Is SA trying to start a kind of war knowing our importance to their country?If our kinsmen actually faked their travel and health papers,why should they be allowed into another country?Why are all Nigerians in SA not affected if the so-called deportation was done with bad mind?Deporting S/Africans who have all their papers intact in retaliation,to me,is childish and unnecessary.This 'war' must stop now.

Who gives a phuck about if they were armed robbers?
Have you ever heard that the UK, or France deported an American? Not to talk of more the 125 in one go. And blasting it out in the press too.

We need to deport at least 250 South Africans in return.

I've watched your postings and I'm starting to get impatient with your constant misspelling of this man's name. 
Please, take correction! His name is [size=14pt]AGBEROSOLA!![/size]

Choi!
One day is one day, unu go make animal crase wit laf o!

I am just asking, because it is fashionable these days for folk who are demonstrably and inarguably Lagosian to tell people to "go back to the creeks."
If that happens in the politics section of Nigeria's most active website (NL), then I fear for the levels of ignorance (political and geographic) on the streets.

Gideonyte,
I am not against resource nationalism cos it will reduce corruption where there's no oil but the argument for  resource control is getting worn out and will become stale by the time the real picture of what's going on now comes out,
Right now and at this moment the oil wells belong to the federal government of Nigeria. People have grown up with, and depended on the fact that  the oil belong to all Nigerians,its now left for those who think its fair for them control it to convince others who have grown with a  sense of entitlement to the oil.I think part of the convincing should be the proper usage of the concessions currently enjoyed but a situation where you approach for more concession using this same excuse as before is unacceptable.
The continuous insult and threat being thrown at other Nigerians too won't get them anywhere and that's a fact.

What insult? Telling a "lau lau" parasite that it is a parasite?
Wonders!

The truth can't be that bitter.

u could have made sense without being tribal, never knew u were checking out the touts tribe., anyway u don't need to go to iceland to know how cold it is.

@topic
What is going on in Lagos? Within the last few years, ares like Mushin, Fadeyi, Onipanu, Bariga etc have become dangerous ganglands where guns and knives are badges of honour.
It is an alarming development that portends no good and sends chills through the veins of law abiding and God fearing citizens.

Who empowers these thugs?

[size=14pt]Shootout At Lawanson: NURTW Crisis Worsens [/size]
Published on March 7, 2012 by

In a manner reminiscent of a guerilla warfare, Lawanson Motor Park and its environs were engulfed in chaos and commotion this morning as two rival factions of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, engaged each other in a supremacy battle over who controls the park.

An eyewitness told P.M.NEWS that as early as 7.30 a.m. there were sporadic gunshots leading to instant closure of shops in the area. Banks around the vicinity also closed their doors to customers.

Passersby and workers who were going to their offices scampered to safety.

It was gathered that the battle ensued between the two factions with each of them wielding dangerous weapons such as, pistols, pump action guns charms cutlasses, knives and axes.

A lady simply identified as Alimot was shot and injured and was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. Several others were also reported injured.

When P.M.NEWS arrived he scene, armed policemen have already taken over the scene of the battle. The Divisional Police Officer, DPO Itire Police Division, Mr. A. A. Oyekan was at the scene dishing out instructions to his men. There was more reinforcement with an armoured personnel carrier deployed there.

The Lawanson motor park was littered with broken bottles, cudgels, sticks and other weapons used in the battle.

One of the drivers who spoke with P.M.NEWS on condition of anonimity blamed the NURTW crisis on its erstwhile leader.

“Having realised he had been removed as chairman, he sent his boys to take over the park, which we resisted and we shall continue to resist,” the union member alleged.

He added that the sacked leaders tenure was too oppressive as the levy he impossed on them was too high for them to bear.

The driver said some of their members could no longer pay their children’s school fees while the majority are jobless.

After the dust had settled down, some drivers carried placards to protest the alleged intrusion of the Lawanson Motor Park by the ex-leader’s boys. They vowed to resist future attack by the invaders.

As at press time, the situation remained tense. Commuters were forced to move to a far distance to board commuter buses to their various destinations.

Meanwhile, the NURTW faction that carried out the attack were inside the Lawanson Motor Park jubilating that they had succeeded in taking over the park.

Similarly, the unending Lagos Island factional youth gang war, claimed the life of a tailor and resident of Lafiaji, identified as Daniel Adeyemi on Monday.

The incident occurred at about 9 p.m. on Monday at Sangrouse bus stop, Lagos Island, Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria.

Eyewitness told P.M.NEWS that at least 20 hoodlums armed with guns invaded Sangrose Market and the bus stop from Beecroft, Osho and other streets, shooting sporadically and firing at the victim who died instantly.

The rampaging hoodlums were said to have capitalised on the removal of Armoured Personnel Carrier, APC and policemen deployed to Sangrouse Market by the police authorities to perpetrate the dastardly act.

They were also said to have robbed shop owners and snatched hand bags of innocent people in the ensuing commotion, while scores of people sustained various injuries.

Narrating the incident to P.M.NEWS at Sangrouse, Adekunle Qudus, who claimed to be a friend of the deceased, said they were having a meal before the incident occurred.

“I and the deceased, Adeyemi, were having a meal of amala at a food joint at Sangrouse bus stop at about 9 p.m. when suddenly thugs numbering about 20 led by some people I recognised started to fire sporadically and they invaded Sangrose bus stop. They shot everywhere and one of the bullets hit my friend, on his chest and he fell to the ground.

“Before we could rush him to the hospital, he died.

“ The hoodlums,” he continued, “capitalised on the removal of the APC tank stationed at Sangrouse Market by the police on Sunday night to perpetrate the dastardly act.

They killed my friend so as to drag Lafiaji youths into the senseless crisis which have claimed innocent lives on Lagos Island.

“Nobody can force us into any meaningless crises, no matter the provocation. This is because we are civilised and nobody can fool us to do their biddings.

“We are now appealing to the government and the police to find lasting solutions to these crises before it gets out of hand. We must realise that life is sacred and people must desist from using the crises to rob and commit other vices,” he stated.

The police have returned the APC tank to Sangrouse as normalcy has returned to the troubled spot.

Frankly speaking, Mimiko is damn lucky!
Aregbesola is known to slap people at the slightest opportunity (including women). He is said to have slapped both his deputy and Fashola.

What has Oando, ACN or the northern co-horts got to do with her not being able to tell us CATEGORICALLY the daily consumption rate of fuel or operational capacity of our refineries as at today without any form of contradiction from either Sanusi, NOI or even NNPC?
It proves to me that he simply not in control.
Any little thing u dont agree with na because of either northern Aboki, buhari, ACN or Oando etc. Even ur doomed lineeage, na Buhari, CPC,  or ACN cause am. Shior

You sound as stup!d and gutter bred as usual. Were you found at a rubbish dump?

I'm curious as to why you feel a constant need to type in bold. Is your d.i.c.k that tiny?
What you've said above sounds no different from the words of a man who has over imbibed sepe and smoked kpoi to top it off.

Does Tinubu's Oando not account for 53% of subsidies? Dunce.

Bawss1:
Spare us the soap opera.

While I am not in support of Nigerians being treated badly overseas I will not hesitate to call our leader off their high horse. All this hot air they are blowing because of this incident could easily have been channeled to areas that will benefit Nigerians significantly. In the end the only victory here is that the country's ego (if one can call it that) is stroked. How about, for instance, NASS ensure that our own local border issues are dealt with  with the same amount of vigor. . .There are a 1001 ways, other than this, to display patriotism.

I do not see what our domestic border issues have to do with a spat with SA. If you understand that, you will easily understand why I think you sound bitter. No one expects you to wax lyrical about what goes on at Seme border when international diplomatic issues are on the table.
Bitterness makes people clutch for straws and say things they would not normally class as rational.

You are obviously fighting JTF from Guatemala. Not so?

The death of that innocent guy is being used as a political football be Fashola. It is a really low thing to do.
What about the LASTMA officials that have killed several people? Has LASTMA been taken to court?
To make matters worse, there have been numerous police killings in Lagos. Why are these too low profile for Fashola to sue the police over?

I am not convinced and only see this as yet another of wickedness by our politicians.

Check the below out. Why hasn't Fashola sued?

[size=14pt]Protest in Lagos as police kill NPA staff over N50 bribe[/size]

By Ifeanyi Okolie
THERE was pandemonium, yesterday, at the Barracks axis of Lagos-Badagry Expressway, Lagos State, when a police corporal attached to Onireke Division, shot and killed a 56-year-old man, Daniel Nigeria, inside a commercial bus. The policeman, identified as Kazeem Shittu, with Force number 3538000, was trying to extort N50 from the bus conductor.

He was said to have accosted the commercial bus heading to Mile 2, at a checking point mounted in front of Onireke police station and ordered the bus conductor to pay him a N50 fee for plying the route. Time was 8.30am.

*The deceased, Daniel Nigeria and his wife, Rachael

Killing of NPA staff: The conductor reportedly refused to obey the order and was threatened by the police officer who later corked his AK-47 rifle and shot at him. Eye witnesses said the bullet missed the conductor and hit the passenger (Daniel Nigeria) who sat beside him on the chest and he died. Witnesses told Crime Alert that the sight of the innocent man lying on a pool of blood infuriated residents, traders and passersby, who spontaneously rose and protested the killing.

"Nigeria’s Fading Glory!?"

What a bunch of unpatriotic id!ots those CPC people are.

Everything about CPC is about declaring Nigeria to be a disgusting thing.
If they are so bitter about losing the last elections that they are so willing to always identfy with negativity, then they might as well leave the country and become Ghanaians, Togolese or Chadians.

kulutempa:
At last the government is beginning to see the light. A government that cannot provide ordinary drinking water for its citizens, should not be in the business of building and operating refineries in the first place. Government run businesses in Nigeria are simply another way of milking public funds, by our rulers.

Agreed.
The most sensible thing for any Nigerian govt is to continue taking steps to decentralise the system. It is the only way to get things done as well as reduce corruption.

The next thing I want to see is the disbanding of NNPC. That place is like the customs and police, a den of phucking thieves.

I can't believe this thread has grown to more than one page. It is a nonstory.

Firstly, it would take an unintelligent person to declare Presidential ambitions 3+ years away from the next elections. Corrupt as he might be, Fashola is very far from being unintelligent. You don't give your opponents above of 3 solid years to create water-tight strategies to maroon and bury you. Powerful as the Presidency is, even GEJ will not mention 2015 ambitions at this time.

It is either there is a split in ACN and they are willing to spill blood in the press, or someone is flying a targetted political kite in search of a particular result.

moremi2008:
Not all Nigerians are fools like the US would like us to believe.

A four bedroom in a nice neighborhood in Manhattan costs between $1 million and $65 million. I seriously doubt her salary as a minister is enough to afford this and still keep her neck swathed with diamonds. Let's not deceive ourselves, please. Our thieving masters can't steal our heritage right under our noses and then we believe it when they tell us the billy-goat ate it.

The US happily turned a blind eye to Teodoro Obiang's stolen loot being laundered through US banks for decades until 2004 when he practically transferred almost all of Equatorial Guinea's treasury to the Riggs Bank in Washington DC and then the stink was too high to politely ignore. Let's not mistake a self-serving endorsement of a kleptocrat as evidence of the kleptocrat's virtuousness. Madam is a bloody thief! The sooner we all embrace this, the better.

This is frankly put; stup!d.

Firstly, the flat in question has nothing to do with the minister, but (if it exists) is connected to her neice who is married to a topshot.

The only groups that hate Allison Maduaeke with a capital H that they are ready to lie and forge can be found in ACN (Oando claims the biggest subsidies amongst a plethora of things) and the core-Northern elite (who think oil is their birthright). They absolutely hate the reforms in the oil sector that being championed by Deziani Allsion Madueke.
Both these groups will do all in their power (especially outside of the book) to smear her good name.

Bawss1:
When it comes to grandstanding our people will not be found wanting, now if only this zeal as displayed here is directed to where it really matters; ensuring that our borders are properly monitored and that the entry of aliens are properly checked then perhaps our security problems will be significantly will be no more.

You mean defending Nigerian citizens abroad does not matter? What the hell is wrong with you people?
If you have to be resoundingly negative all the time, at least have the courtesy of doing it in clever ways, so that you don't sound like you are expressing bitterness rather than patriotism.

I do not see how an reasonable person would not back the govt in giving any country that maltreats us a very dirty slap. SA has had it coming for a long time, especially after the way we championed the fight against apartheid. Do you know that SA citizens were given free scholarships by the FG with all their wants and needs paid for? Do you realise that there are fatherless Nigerians today, people who lost a loved patent who was sent on one of several secret military missions to fight apartheid (in SA, Angola, Zimbabwe etc)?

Some of you are so bitter that you do not even realise when you sound like you have no pride in your identity. Or that your identity is a smelly rag that reeks inferiority.
