You start a thread the worst Amebo, village gossip and gbeborun/gbegele would be proud of yet you accuse others of market woman gossiping? My guy, listen to yourself !!! You are making a fool of yourself !!! Even if Aregbesola slapped Fashola then so what? You want to go and wipe Fashola'a cheeks with ointment for him?

As Demdem pointed out, you are nothing but a clown. You are the same person who has dismissed the opinions of others on NL yet you want to begin quoting the opinion of another Nairalander as gospel truth? Can you not see how deluded and fork-tongued and two-faced your appear?

Will you shatap!

I asked a question and intead of answering, you started going on like a dumbo schoolgirl that has sighted her first diick, "look mummy, its a d.i.ck!"
Answer the simple question:
[size=21pt]Why did Aregbesola act like a baboon and slap Fashola?[/size]

jason123:
Where is my e-brother, Kpogede??!!!

Lol! That boy is very useless.

namfav:
are you read bro?

I don't understand, what do you mean to say?

Dude, boko haram and their political sponsors rolled the dice and it now seems that the ultimate clash is inevitable; there are only the very slightest threads of common sense holding events back (let us pray they win). So, let every man prepare for war.
I can't understand why aboki's politics is always to threaten people and call them cowards; we are reaping the result now. You cannot call Warri man a coward.
Its unfortunate that some people cannot read the tea leaves, they forgot that Warri is in the ND. Don't test Warri guys, cos they aren't your usual clients; if a Warri man says "I go slap you now!," just bloody start ducking, cos that slap has already started landing.

djustice:
If you have facts that are contrary, please feel free to post them up here. If not,[size=20pt] KINDLY GET OFF MY DEEEK!!![/size] I prefer women, thank you!

Don't mind the buncha fools, they are only here to mill around like a pack of monkeys while deftly dodging facts.

Boys are not smiling, but there are better ways to do things than sink to the same level as boko haram. Well, the ball has already been set rolling, so lets prepare for war.

Gbawe:
Yes OOOO !! Babanla razist ni won. Of course they are "razist" for not acknowledging Beaf the wannabee as a Yoruba man even as he hails from Delta State. I think we will have to have a Nairaland ceremony to ordain Beaf a honorary Yoruba before dude develops high BP.

Oh shatap! You sound like a market woman gossiping about akara.

Attend to the the reason why Aregbesola slapped Fashola. This is a fairly detailed account of the unfortunate event
Why can't Aregbesola just stick to his state? Why live in Lagos and go about slapping its governor?

Quote from: djustice
Yes, Aregbesola indeed once assaulted Fashola at an Exco meeting, when Fashola brought up the issue of a substantive Commissioner for Works. Aregbesola was still waiting for the tribunal and Court of Appeal Bribes to work their magic for him, and the position of Commissioner for Works was ordered to be left open for him as a fall-back position by their god, Bola Tinubu.

When Fashola raised the issue, [size=33pt]Aregbesola slapped him and told him to sit down[/size]. Asked him who the hell he thought campaigned for him to win the elections. Fashola did not retaliate, to his credit, and when Amoda Ogunlere saw him later, he tried to placate him: "Mo gbo pe Aregbe gba e loju. Ika ni boy yen o. O da, ma binu, so gbo". Again, to his credit, Fashola DID NOT tell Amoda Ogunlere or send anyone to him. Amoda was either informed by Muiz Banire or Tokunbo Afikuyomi.

DrummaBoy:
Today d Yorubas hav been eased out of GEJ cabinet and some1 is stil blamin Yorubas for Nigeria's problem

You voted yourselves out of reckoning. GEJ tried very hard to rectify matters by giving you the leadership of House of Reps, but your Tinubu sold you for his fellow thief called Tambuwal. Today, that sale of the SW has caused it to completely lose its position in national governance; the 30million strong SW folk now have absolutely no say in whichever direction Nigeria wishes to sail in, leaving fools to romanticise bloodshed.

Dream on about coups. We are quiet, determined and warlike, so bring it on; we own the place and phucking run things.

DCAT:
@ beaf, word well spoken, if i may ask, are these local refineries owned by poor or average nigerians? cos i sensed that these guys have the backing of eminent politicians of this our sick country.

They are owned by "boys."
Some of those boys have made it big from the trade, but they cannot waste money building better structures only for JTF to destroy them the next week; so we keep having those horribly polluting things littering the place.
We desperately need some sort of legislation to look into these refineries and straighten them out into 100% legal operations for the good of the country. I sense that the PIB will sort such things out.

I hope kpogede is on hand to explain why innocent citizens are being threatened in Warri.

[size=14pt]Nigeria: Boko Haram - Muslims Asked to Vacate Niger Delta Within One Week[/size]
Vincent Egunyanga
19 October 2011

Benin — Following the Boko Haram insurgency in the country, a Warri-based group known as Egbesu Mightier Fraternity has ordered all Muslim communities in Niger Delta to leave within seven days.

[size=14pt]The group, in a letter dated October 10, 2011 copied to the Sultan of Sokoto Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar[/size], read: "Dear Muslim communities in Niger Delta, leave our land [Niger Delta] now within seven days. No basis for unity. We are compelled by the present Boko Haram's merciless bombings in the country without veritable developmental agitation. Even , there is killing going on in the north. The continuous killings of Christians in the north should be stopped forthwith. Call your brothers to order.

"The tsunami of Boko Haram will not, in its sweep, skip the homes and interest of its promoters, active or passive. Book Haram has been leaving bombs around churches and other places with clusters of the innocent. If peace is pronounced a war, why can't we go our separate ways by amicable agreements? Book Haram may have its origin from whatever it likes. Its wild excesses are essentially a reaction to the presidential ascendancy of Dr Goodluck Jonathan. It has its sponsors and financiers in the north and outside Nigeria. If we are actually one Nigeria, why can't we allow other geo-political zone to rule the country?

Saudi Arabia is the centre of the Islamic faith, yet there was not even a single killing of Christian faithful there. Why all these killings of National Youths Service Corps members and other innocent citizens in reaction to Jonathan's presidential victory? With this trend, we can't live together. Leave Niger Delta now. Your failure to leave at the expiration of this letter, we'll kill any Muslim we see in the Niger Delta Region.

No section of this country is an embodiment of killing others. Muslims can't live in our land freely while Boko Haram will be killing our people in their land. This is our message, if you like, stay and test our ultimatum, then stay and see what will happen. We are fully ready to kill if you test us. We have tasted bloody war during the days of our agitation for equal right. Boko Haram members live among you and pray in the same mosque. So you can't claim that you don't know where the Boko Haram is".

The letter was jointly signed by Okin Sele Bazoka Boys of Niger Delta, Gen Kurumah, the strike force of Izon land; Commander Okiki Kene, water force of izon land; and Gen Abu Mic Barkoromo Ogbo of Niger Delta.

Confirming the threat, the chairman of the Warri Central Mosque, Prince Muftau Oyetunde said Muslims had started leaving the town as the seven days ultimatum given to them expired on Monday, adding that the Muslim communities had notified the Police Area Commander, the Joint Task Force and other security agencies in Niger Delta of the letter.

Also reacting, the leader of the Hausa community in Warri, Mohammed Bello Ado, said there was no need for such a letter since the Hausas in the area had lived peacefully Niger Delta people.

"The Hausas voted for President Goodluck Jonathan, not Buhari, in the last general elections. Why should people refuse to appreciate the support of the Hausas in the elections?

A source within the police headquarters in Warri, who pleaded anonymity, urged the public to disregard the letter, saying it was not real.

"They are just trying to create unnecessary hype, but we are taking care of the situation", the police source said.
[size=14pt]
Meanwhile, soldiers are already guarding the mosque where the letter was dropped, though Muslims, particularly the Yoruba ones, are said to have been fleeing Warri and sending their family members home.[/size]

Ayowumie:
Beaf, I have never liked your posts and by extension your person (not personal though). But, i love you for this.

If the govt could put up a regulation of practice for these dudes, in few years from now, there would be intense competition and before you know it, we would have full fledged refineries.

Guy, don't make me laugh, if you were a babe with swinging hips I would be concerned. But wetin I wan take dry bones do?

I am always for doing things and encouraging Nigerians to have a go. We keep approaching foreigners to build stuff for us, but here are Nigerians doing that same thing; all that is needed are encouragement, regulation, a legal supply of crude and before long we would have companies that are ready to build mammoth refineries in foreign lands. Google started in a garage, Apple computers started in a room; but a few short years later, today those companies are the biggest in the World.

If only we could look at the technologies practised at street level (mainly by the the impoverished), Nigeria would be a great country, but we always want to decieve ourselves with big projects built by oyibo (for the benefit of oyibo). It is the little things that matter.

Demdem:
we have a headship (PDP) for more than a decade whose leadership would have changed a lot of things that will affect for good the minutest person in this nation all around but that wasn't and isnt so. instead this opportunity has and constantly been misused. It will be INSANE for anyone to think otherwise.

Its true ACN has his own faults also but considering the fact that we are not operating a true federal system, i will prefer to lay my blame on the HEAD which is PDP. A focus-less leadership will definitely bring bad followers.

Am not so sure if that park is official becos i know such parks are many in Lagos however individuals are primary responsible for their safety before any other

Dude, shut up!
This is not a partisan issue, exept to the small-minded.

@topic
What is it with the Nigerian that we cannot be organised? You only need to take a short trip to Seme border, cross over and you are immediately in a totally different World. Benin is a poor country, but in terms of organisation they are centuries head of us.

It isn't just Benin Republic alone, the story gets progressively worse as you travel to Ghana; even the little roadside mama-put sells from alluminum pots that are washed so clean, they glisten; compare that with our numerous dirty iya akara's, wiping their oily faces with their dirty wrappers and wrapping goods in dirty newspapers harvested from God knows where. Our disorganisation is down to street, household and personal level.

It is the same disorganisation that causes people to beep their horns incessantly (a sound you never hear abroad), slap fellow drivers and ask the legendary; "do you know who I am?" Who gives a phuck who anybody is? We are all flesh and blood.

We are not animals. IMHO, the only reason for the state of affairs we find ourselves in is our upside down "federalism." Empower the local govts, do away with states, bring back regions, enforce resource control and 100% of our problems will go away.

PointB: After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention. When Buhari jailed UPN governors like Ige and Onabanjo, the South-Western press castigated that good government and provided the right mood for IBB to take over power. As soon as IBB cleared UPN governors of charges against them in a politically motivated retrial, he became the darling of the South-West. When IBB annulled the primaries in which Adamu Ciroma and Shehu Yar Adua emerged as presidential candidates in the NRC and SDP, he was hailed by the South-West. When the same man annulled the June 12, 1993 elections in which Abiola was the front-runner, the South-West now became defenders of democracy.


When it seemed Sani Abacha was sympathetic to Abiola, the South-West supported his take-over. He was in fact invited by a prominent NADECO member to take over in a published letter shortly before the event.

Some never learn indeed.

@topic
Make una bring una coup, this time you will not even see the source of the dirty slap you will recieve. Phucking useless bunch that want to sit like lazy bastards and suck on oil money.

Coup? Bring it on! See how easy it is to sign your own death certificate and relocate to a shallow grave.

Yeah, thats how its done. Cool and deadly.

velo10:
Baecause Boko Haram don calm down, this people are looking for another reason to stir up the hornet's nest.

Lol! You actually think they can rev up again? Those guys now have JTF guns firmly glued to all their orifices, they even need permission to do a shiit.

Demdem:
Our Primary problem is PDP. they have been in power for over a decade and nothing to show for it. We need to put an end to this malady

PDP is not ruling in Ijora. The problem of disorganisation is a Nigerian one and it is foolish for anybody to begin pointing fingers at any party, whether ACN or PDP.

The crowd milling around the accident scene and complicating issues are ordinary Nigerians, the people who decided to locate a motorpark underneath that bridge are ordinary Nigerians too, so was the reckless truck driver.

Another rubbish report while the fake refineries in Indonesia one has not been apologised for.
Sahara Reporters exists for "paid for" news.

otokx:
How can somebody in his rightful mind call those contraptions refineries?

Dude, there is nothing that cannot be cleaned up and legalised. What you see those guy's doing is practical technology and thats something Nigeria lacks. While the country phucks along importing fuel, those guys are making it and showing the way to go.

I can bet you that if JTF wasn't destroying those places by the thousand and govt gave them a look in, we would have proper running industries in place. In fact, we can sort our refinery shortage by simply regulating the practice.

@Beaf

I agree with all that  u have said except that part of frosbel.  even in the so called advanced countries if incidents or accidents are not reported, emergency services  do not just arrive uninvited.

Did the poster mention in his post that he called emergency services and they did not come ?

We are citizens and it is our right or is it privilege now to complain and criticize our govt when they misdo.

However, I have witnessed in this same Lagos state  Where I called the Lagos State Ambulance Service at the scene of an accident and it took them less than 10 mins to come and  treated the minor injuries free of charge while the seriously wounded were given  first aid  before being taken to the hospital.

That scene does not show any sign of organisation and we must as Nigerians accept the fact that we are entirely lacking in that regard. We call ourselves the giant of Africa, yet many of our tiny neighbours put us to shame organisationally.
Before I go on, this has nothing to do with any state, but is a national malaise that affects us all.

This is an accident scene in SA. There are no people milling around in confusion, instead there is every sign of organisation. That is what we should be striving for and which we can only get by truly empowering local govts with true federalism as is the norm elsewhere. Upside down methods in Nigeria produce upsidedown results:

Gaskiya u lost all the little respect i have for u today how were u so sure dere was no ambulance on sight did u know maybe it was immediately the accident happend that the op took that picture mumu. you r a complete mofo, so quick to discredit a perfoming state governor and always reluctant to castigate a non perfoming slow president moronic fool  

Be sure of one thing; I don't log into NL looking for respect from your unrefined type that feel raining abuse like animals is a replacement for intelligence.
Run along and carry your foolish quarrel eleswhere, thank you.

Some of the refineries are pretty sleek operations:

kulutempa:
Agence France Presse (AFP) has just reported that the Nigerian army has destroyed 2000 illegal refineries in the Niger Delta in the past 3 months.  Link  http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5g-tK9TkFF-JjNQZv64uET7eE4HoQ?docId=CNG.ea2d83b634da8ac0dda3193eefc51267.671


Isn't it interesting that we have 2000 illegal refineries working at full capacity in Nigeria, while the state owned legal refineries are either suffering breakdowns or working below capacity?   Is this not the more reason why the refineries should be privatised, as the Nigerian state has shown that it cannot manage any commercial concern efficiently or profitably?   Over to you Nairalanders, let's have your views.

You are very right. Rather than destroy these crude refineries, they must be standardised to follow due process (technically, environmentally and in line with health and safety practices). They should be encouraged and legally supplied with crude for their operations.
Such an attitude will go a long way to augmenting Nigeria's refining capacity and boosting our technological know-how and prowess. Indeed GEJ mentioned bringing the illegal refiners into the mainstream during the elections, I am hoping that we hear much more in that direction.

@frosbel

I think u are the useless one here.

Did the poster tell u that he was there all through the day to report that there was no rescue  efforts there ?

Once una don manage cross over to other countries  na so so mis yarn una go do

There is absolutely nothing wrong with anything Frosbel said. What is the reason why our state govts can't do simple things like run ambulance services. All they can think about is how to collect oil money to enrich themselves.
In the UK where Frosbel lives, ambulance services are run by by the equivalent of local govts (through NHS Trusts).

The country is phucked up indeed, and we better accept it or we will never be able to rebuild it. True federalism with empowered local govts is the way to go.

Fashola is my governor and Lagos state politics is my politics. Why would a phucking primitive brute like Aregbesola actually raise its paws to slap Fashola?
You have left that issue to tackle Beaf, because your battery is weak and your di.ck has fallen. Lol!

What moral message is passed by Aregbesola's slapping of Fashola the gentleman?

Why is it soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard for these "progressives" to tell us the moral message behind Aregbesola slapping Fashola?
Why?

The above does not mean GEJ has been fiscally prudent.

It surely does. You are quite sound in financial matters, I don't expect you to be one of those making sweeping statements which do not factor in the fact that the CBN has had to fight massive battles on the forex market using dollars from the external reserve.
Our external reserve is wholly dependent on the oil market, developmental projects, and CBN policies.
