atlwireles: The Iteskiris know their place in Warri. They can always be reminded if needed.

abi ohh.

There had been peace since that useless awo come cause katakata.

Deltans are peaceful and highly diversified so I pray Thiefnibu will not come and try and incite Itskeris again

Aigipan: Another lamentation from a particular group that are only good at developing other people's region

Pele stop crying!

seh u go eat biscuit ??

another roach !

can't you people post a counter response?

St_Black: 1991 not 1999. !

St_Black: -Has Lagos received as much as half of total allocations from oil money as the Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, CR & d FCT since 1999?

Your original question was from 1999


and you are all like that greedy ungrateful cun.t that bites the finger that fed em.

as i said go and sleep and dream "progressive " dreams.

shymexx: Can you read? I said, "SE." Still don't know when Delta became part of SE, to be honest.

And where the fecky fvck did I mention Urhobo? - go take ya meds and stick to posting illuminati stories.

Delta is not SW either! So stop lumping them in.

Delta apart from the minority Itshekiris who can be found only in parts of Warri who your Awolowo promoted above the Urhobos, Isokos and Ijaws after the civil war by creating the Olu of Warri in a feeble attempt to Yorubarize Delta was ignored or rather tolerated because A landlord does not need to remind the tennant who owns the house. This same nonsense Awolowo did caused the Warri crisis between the Itshekiris and the Urhobos after it became evident that the Itskeiris were now claiming warri.

Please it's a long story that led to serious crisis in the 90's. Ask any Deltan guy in the UK to give you the gist.

But stop claiming Delta as Yoruba.

Eziachi: We Biafra people are no fools and appreciate honesty. His insightful post is well appreciated. Hiding the truth only makes things worse. I personally for the life of never understand why many Yoruba love the cesspit called Nigeria especially after 1993, until I read his post. It's nothing to do with love of Nigeria, but fear of the unknown, from within, which is silly because they are too smart to be held down by what happened in the ancient times.

The Yorubas are the ones that will claim to fight for Justice but when it comes to oil redistribution and FG allocation they go either blind or mute at the same time.

Hypocrites!

This is why a Sovereign National conference needs to be held.

Stop allowing trolls like Thiefnibu to keep deceiving you. He and his APC cronies want Nigeria to remain as it is in the event they get there and continue the pillaging . If the likes of Buhari was in power Iam dead sure he will throw away whatever fiscal sharing formula that is in existence so that he can divert it all to the north.

Nigeria can only remain if there is both equity and responsibility within our respective sovereignty.

Can you imagine that Baboon from Niger State shouting that FG is refusing to develop and exploit their oil reserve? Is that what governance has been reduced to? A governor is just sitting there waiting for allocation.

plaindealer: Apart from you not knowing that Lagos accounts for 60-70% of Nigeria's industrial output from industrial estates created by the old Western regional government way before Nigeria as a country and still Nigerians's non oil economic engine.

Nigeria has Natural resources, but where are you today with your Natural resources...?

Japan has little or no Natural resources, but it's still the 3rd largest economy in the world. Not that you have any common sense to rationalize this and the fact that brains and human capacity sometimes trumps Natural resources...

Industrial inputs are not the same as Outputs ode!

You cannot compare to JAPAN because you are daft and have a low IQ

shymexx: Also, SW has an oil-producing state and the state alone produces more oil than the oil in the whole SE. !

again you fail. How can you compare a few oil wells in Ondo as producing more than the entire Niger-Delta. Please do not include Delta! They won't follow you maybe Edos will but definitely not Delta.

shymexx: . Apart from that, Lagos contributes a lot to the country and cocoa also contributes a lot.!

I laff! sO YOU HOPE TO START YOUR EMPIRE ON A CASH CROP.

Abother BANANA Republic in the making.

It is Urhobo and they are closer to the Ijaws than Yorubas. And Delta cannot join you because of our Ibos to the north that we live peacefully with. If you were allowed in then we know you will want to deport them across the bridge.

St_Black: Saw lots of good contributions here, likewise some rubbish as well. Its been actually chaotic on the thread however.

@Bishop Magic

PLS, I'd like you act not like some dumbwits do here by answering these questions:

-Was oil money responsible for developing Lagos for much of OBJ's regime?

-Has Lagos received as much as half of total allocations from oil money as the Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, CR & d FCT since 1999?

-Does Lagos gets MORE or gets LESS than what it currently coughs out to the center?

-Despite the HUGE revenues this poor state gives to your FG, has your good-for-nothing government ever rendered justice by paying back the HUGE debts it owes this state for many years now?


Answer me first b4 I know the right reply that will befit yours. !

1999 is just 13years back.
After the civil war, the Gown administration up to Babangida were quartered in Lagos and they made their presence felt.
Nigeria's economy got a boost from oil exports.
Festac, Satelite Housing units, most parts of Surulere, Iganmu Stadium, Murtal Mohammed Airport, Tin Can port was built by OBJ and the Wharf was extended, Oshodi Apapa Express way, 3RD Mainland and Eko Bridge (and they are not even tolled!), 1004 units, Eric Moore Towers, Gowon Estate Egbeda, Federal Palace Hotels, Eko Hotels, etc were all built FROM 1976 up till 1999.

-Has Lagos received as much as half of total allocations from oil money as the Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, CR & d FCT since 1999?

Federal Allocations from the oil producing areas are computed on 13% oil derivative. Do you have oil wells in Lagos?

Does Lagos gets MORE or gets LESS than what it currently coughs out to the center?

U should ask the oil producing states since they are left with a paltry 13& and the rest 87% is shared by the rest of you.

Despite the HUGE revenues this poor state gives to your FG, has your good-for-nothing government ever rendered justice by paying back the HUGE debts it owes this state for many years now?

Rubish. which debt do FG owe you? If FG is to bill you alone for 3RD Mainland Bridge at the same rate Fashola is towing Bridges You will be bankrupt? What monies by the way does FG owe you? Is it all those road maintenance contracts awarded on FG roads by thiefnibu which were later in inflated and presented to the FG for reimbursement? The same road scam that OBJ wasnt buying which caused a lot of bad blood between FG and LASG with the then Minister of Works Ogunleye at the center? Or are you asking for LG allocations that were arbitrary and criminally created by Thiefnibu disregarding constitutional outlines on how LGAs should be created?

Abeg go and sleep

shymexx: Do you know how to read the map? I'm looking at some of naija's offshore oil wells now and using territorial waters to ascertain who would own them if Lagos were a different country. And there are a few oil wells out there than Lagos can lay claim to, to be honest.

What largesse are you on about? Nigeria is a cesspit with no infrastructures - go take your meds!! Even those with tertiary education in the country are barely educated in the real sense of education. So I ask again: what have they benefited from the oil money?

I NEVER WANTED TO DIGNIFY THIS BUT HOW IS LAGOS TERRITORIAL WATERS part of Delta (they wont follow you so stop salivating) , Rivers, Bayelsa or Akwa Ibom.?

How?

Truckpusher: Sharrap and get a life you scumbag with no balls

I guess the truth is bitter huh?

You're fretting and it's clear to all and sundry and the inevitable is about to happen,but let me remind you that this your self induced cataract that has completely eaten your retina which makes it practically impossible for you and your ilks to see the truth will eventually down play any effort in having an ally in any eventuality that Nigeria will disintegrate under the barrels of the gun because your actions and inaction has finally placed you at the mercy of your masters in the North,we simply refused to be cowed even as a minority yet your so called political class keep sucking up to the North's a$$ to find their political succor i can bet my black a$$ that they are well aware of your chameleon attributes; after all who takes seriously a man that can be persuaded by interests and not by ideology,belief and self determination?.

Just make sure you understand the Hausa/Fulani islamaofacist oligarchy and the aspirations of Usman Dan Fodio before you guys commit this suicide that'll hunt your generations for years to come.

And FYI, Asari Dokubo will always remain a hero and that huge deposit of mineral resources that powers your economy which is your lifeline still abounds in the SS (i'm an insider ,i know exactly what i'm talking about) and that; you can't take away from them ,it is either you let us do what your kith and kin couldn't do for ages for fear of reprisals from your lords in the North whom you're betrothed to or we go our separate ways and if by anything you demand blood before it'd be realize so be it .Come out and have a particular ideology ,seek for self determination, chant it like Asari is doing it if you've got nothing to loose and stop sitting on that fence like the coward that you are whilst trying to downplay any fear of staying alone if this cesspool collapses.

May i also inform you that giving yourself a flashy nice moniker doesn't translate to howmuch you make,the car you wheel or how educated you are......from your cursing spree ,it'd be abnormal not to believe that you need to check into a rehab and save your ethnic group some pains.



Mr dunmbo do me a favor ,go hug a large transformer in Apapa

When the minorities speak about their concerns it becomes bigotry ,but when your kith and kin speak theirs it becomes the voice of reason .Which ethnicity is more bigoted than any other in this country if not for you and your kinsmen that continuously lick the Gambari man's a$$.

Yeye boy,shift to yaba left and take your medication

Abeg help me tell these mumus.

Yorubas are darn too selfish and jealous of other southerners progressing that they are ready to sell themselves into slavery with the north and continue this useless arrangement.

The likes of Soyinka , Falana and co have all showed their true color under GEJ

Thiefnibu don sell all of dem give malu.

dahfweshdude69: I don't have time for silly arguments by dis time of d day...if u have any problem with lagosians.. ur fucking luck...it won't stop d state from progressing... why not face ur state n think of something important u can do for ur state rather than bashing another state... reason well...not insulting u

I am a Lagosian you nit

dahfweshdude69: pfff

for lack of anything to add if i must say so

dahfweshdude69: crap

it hurts donit!

shymexx: For argument sake, can you list the infrastructures built with oil money in the SW? I'm always open to knowledge and education about Nigeria.

FYI, if Lagos were to be a different country from Nigeria, best believe a lot of the oil wells in the SS would be in the territorial waters of Lagos. Now do that maths.

The bolded is an indicator that you must have skipped your meds today as such I will not dignify that with a reply.

The whole 9 yards!. Lagos and all the SW benefited not only from FG largess in terms of federal roads and Infrastructure, subsidized oil , free tertiary education on a mass scale , etc.

bloggernaija: Ungrateful?
Lagos was a pristine environment before the colonials and federal government brought their garbage.
The ports/natural harbour was there.

So were the creeks.

shymexx: I disagree with the highlighted part. Yoruba elites might be beneficiaries of Nigeria, however, ordinary Yoruba people are just as dirt poor and the rest of the other people in the country. Also, oil money also didn't build the infrastructures in the SW. When I look at Ibadan, I see relics built during the first republic with cocoa money by Awolowo. So where is the oil money? I look at Lagos and I believe most of the pseudo-infrastructures there were built before oil money and after the capital-status was stripped-off the state. So where's the oil money? Heck, even Abuja that was built with oil money looks like an abandoned pensioners' town with dull architecture.

Honestly, I still don't know what the oil money added to Nigeria apart from a lot of stolen money in circulation boosting the country's GDP. However, most of the money belong to a few people.

https://www.nairaland.com/1544641/ungrateful-lagos

Your hands are soiled from all that oil and you still deny that Oil never helped the SW.

smh!

Jamaican NOT Ghanaian.

Must any other accented English speaking Black Person be Ghanaian?

Nah their way for Abuja. She will stalk you for attention. Truth is she is really desperate and lonely for all the wrong reason.

Omo_Tier1: Some of you just talk without reasoning. You seriously think Oshiomhole will go and donate Edo State money in a book lunch just like that?perhaps, the OP should tell us the full story before anyone can blame the governor.

For much as I know, any luncheon concerning the Oba of Benin goes towards a community action project like building the motherless homes and skilled acquisition centre.

OP, you have told us half of the story, now tell the world all that transpired in the book lunch and let people judge for themselves.

sharap.
APC has a lot of steady ready charge n post lawyers here.

Who gave Osho omo ole the right to donate Edo State money to charity if at all it is now a charitable offering rather than a book launch.

wirinet: You are very wrong. The supreme court can never remove a validly elected governor. The powers of the courts stops at the elections and the processes leading to an election. Once a governors has been validly elected, only the state houses of assembly by way of impeachment, death, resignation or incapacitation can remove a governors.

What the supreme court determined in the Amaechi - Omeiha case was who the valid candidiate was pre election. It stated that the validly norminated governorship candidiate of PDP was Amaechi and Celestine Omeiha was not even a candidiate in the elections. It says that INEC and PDP illegally substituted Amaechi's name outside the terms and time allowed by the electorial act. So in effect Celestine Omehia was never governors of Rivers State. Same way the Appeal court determined Ngige, Oni, Oyinlola and Akala did not win elections but was illegally imposed by inec and pdp and so were never governors of their respective states.

The case now case of the defecting 5 governors is quite different. There is no dispute about the validity of their elections, so no court can remove them. If you are searching for an appropriate precedence, you should look at the Atiku - Obasanjo case. When Atiku defected to AC in 2006, OBJ and the PDP declared the vice president's seat vacant, but the same supreme court said it was null and void, and that a political party cannot declare an executive position vacant. Atiku remained an AC vice president in a PDP government and contested against the PDP in the presidential elections.

I am sure you do not know the implication of what you are asking the courts to do because of your blind hatred for Amaechi and opponents of President Jonathan. You are asking the courts to give political party leaders the powers to remove a governor. Imagine a party like ACN where Tinubu is lord, all he had to do to remove a governor not playing to his tune is to expel the governor from the party and voila, the seat becomes vacant for a more loyal person.

Omehia was sworn in. His emergence as a governor from being successful at the poll was not debated it was the primaries that the supreme court ruled on. That same victory for Omeha was handed to Ameachi.

The Supreme court ruling will surely be applied.

And yes I hate ameachi with passion and it has nothing to do with GEJ but his affiliation with those criminal hausa/fulanis that have pillaged the Niger-Delta

Uyi Iredia: @ OP: Lagos is ungrateful where it ignores its cosmopolitan nature which is an important strength. That said you are wrong to say Lagos has no natural resources. At first glance it has an arable land, and fish-rich waterways, and tourism spots.

In terms of Industrial inputs.

Slncere 9gerian: 10. South Africa to mourn a hero. They should pray for former South African president Dr Nelson Mandela and Arc-Bishop Desmond Tutu.

^^

just stop! Mandella has been sick for over a year now.

This guy is stock brokering and nothing more

plaindealer: Apart from your ignorance and lack of historical understand regarding the subject matter aka Lagos state, you people's endless anger, bitterness, hate and unnecessary rage against other people can not yield you any fruit but continued anger, bitterness, hate and unnecessary rage..

How do you better your own life after spending all your time worrying and hating on other people? You people really need to get a grip.....

jus spending my 2 cents

I will pour sulfuric acid down your drain any day baby

Here on NL we are constantly bombarded by silly propaganda from Lagos state by their APC stooges but what is really disturbing is the some what elitist mentality and condescending view of the rest of Nigeria and Nigerians outside Lagos that Lagosians have adopted.

For some unknown reason Lagosians or rather those claiming to be Lagosians, are always quick to state how well developed Lagos is compared to other parts and boastfully beating their chicken chests but that is not the crux rather it is their view that Lagos was some how built by their own sweat. Disregarding the contributions by individual immigrant populations from a particular region, it is safe to say Lagos owes the FG more for development given that Lagos witnessed a lot of investment in infrastructure (at the detriment of other regions) when she was the then capital city. The height of development in Lagos coincided with the economic boom heralded from Oil and as such Lagos owes her development in terms of FG infrastructure from the exploited and neglected Oil regions.

Outside Federal developments, the other claim that they will come up with is that of Lagos Industrial base.
Originally most of these Industries located in Lagos were exporting and servicing local demands and given that Lagos as a state cannot boast of any natural resource or viable diversified aggro-sector we can conclude that most of these companies rely on other regions for their production inputs. Now that most of the companies are mere packaging outfits and the only reason for remaining in Lagos apart from the huge market is also as a result of proximity to the sea ports. These companies will later market and distribute their goods within the commonwealth to which Lagos get substantial tax earnings.

So when Fashola made that useless demand that the Nigerian Stock Exchange be renamed Lagos Stock Exchange, Mr. Fashola displayed his overestimation of Lagos contribution to the Nation's GDP other than as a prime coastal real estate.

So next time you APC he-goats support your myopic and desperate agenda to become semi-autonomous remember that Lagos owes Nigeria for what she is today and not the other way round.

They are nothing but bloody liars and thieves!
