There is nothing wrong with this.
In the UK if you go to Wales, you see many signs in Welsh and English

Other states should do the same. As long as all govt communications are also provided in English, then there is no problem

Funny guy.
Burn down your entire region if you want.
You won't get Biafra and you won't get Presidency.
More gas to your fire.

You are so brainless it's almost best not to engage you.
Firstly I am NOT from the SE, i am proud Edo Man
If you think Nigeria can survive the current rate of inflation and insecurity, then it's you that is the 'funny guy'. Only a totally focused govt, with a radical change agenda can save this country.

It should drop to 1000 self. Nigerians MUST get sense by force. I'm fact part of me wants the courts to not give PO justice.
Let Nigerians Suffer for the next 4 years. By 2027 those that are still alive might finally have sense, and vote wisley.

You mean the SS and SE gas reserves.

Better hope the judiciary do the right the thing and call an election rer-run or else there is not likley to be a Nigeria in 5 years time , let alone 94 years.

Go and read up on the constraints and why despite several billions Federal Government pumped like wasted funds into those 'political' ports outside Lagos, they are still not optimal in value for money the FG invested to build them just to pander to tribal and geopolitical sentiments.

If you read the report very well, what NPA is admitting is the fact that the money FG should have used to upgrade the infrastructures in the two Lagos-based busiest functional ports in Nigeria and west African sub region that it diverted into the white elephant projects called seaports in the other parts of the country. Since 1977, those two ports have not witnessed massive infrastructure upgrades yet FG kept building new ones that are literally economically useless like the p in psychology.

It was the reality of the kind of envy of the Yoruba by folks like you and the spoiler the FG
played against Lagos that made us proceed with private-sector led port alternatives like the Lekki and Badagry Deep seaports so our progress will not be undermined forever in a multiethnic nation like ours.

Now our Lekki Deep seaport is up and we do not need envious compatriots blackmailing us that we held them down. Think out of the box. We have understood your game of acting as spoilers as if the Yoruba are sitting down on your progress when in actual fact the Yoruba are not.

That those two ports are suffering from poor infrastructure is because of envy and bitterness against the Yoruba for hosting those ports, it is not because FG could not have kept them in shape despite the fact that those ports were national assets serving the nation, employing all Nigerians and handling most of the cargoes in Nigeria. We will always triumph in this kind of reality that you are envious of us but please don't drag us into your inability to make a headway, we are not responsible for your woes and having suboptimal political ports. You reap what you sow.

You are totally ignornat!!
Tin Can Port did not come into operation till the 70's, was Nigeria not doing import/export business before then? Warri, Sapple, PH were all major ports towns for decades. All those ports were allowed to die, so Lagos could have the monopoly. As long as Yoruba's try to make Lagos the only state with functional ports, people from all over the nation will live there,and the complextion of the state will keep changing. The last election is just a forestatste of what is to come

Chai Yoruba tribe is completely compromised, at this rate in few years the identity of Yoruba people would change to Yoruba Fulani , a new special tribe is about to be born

Exactly the same way, they turned Haussa to Hussa-Fulani. The Yoruba have chopped market by their alliance with the caliphate.

CJStarz:
If you're Yoruba and you're reading this, please take note that Igbos are not your problem. Igbos do not hate you. Igbos will never try to replace your religion with theirs. Rather, Igbos will come to your community and help you develop it. They bring infrastructural development to your once local community. They bring business. They import the basic things you need. They'll marry your daughters and perform d marriage rites to the fullest. Because they love their host community,they may give one of their children one of your names. Igbos may be loud but they don't take what's not theirs. Igbos are not a threat to you Yorubas. Look inwards and you'll identify those who want to take over your lands and foist their religion on you.

Tribalisim will never let them see clearly. They have betrayed the rest of the south and know na 'siddon look' we dey as the Fulani start to deal with them. Their was a time many of us in the SS looked up the SW, the SW of people like Gani and Beko. We respected them and joined with them in the June12 struggle. Never again. They have laid their bed with the caliphate, they should sleep on it. Their TRUE friends in the south have been abandoned all to satsify one drug dealers personal ambiton.

kevwemike:
I don't think u know wat u are saying, who is the host here? Go read history

Ilorin is a muslim town end of story. If you like do Phd in history, it does not change that simple fact. Dose illorin have an Oba? No. it has an Emir. Yoruba MUST respect the rules and traditions of Islam in Ilorin. End of Story. Just as you demand others must accept Yoruba rules in Lagos. You can't have it both ways!
Shabi you pepole now see how it feels to be oppressed in the state you have lived in for generations. Shabi e day pain eh?

JohnBullMySon:
A divided South favors only the North.

Not Yoruba and not Igbo. Only fools fail to see that.

The so called south has always been divided since the time of Awo and Zik and shall remain so. The sooner each group in the 'south' understands this, the better. The Yoruba are at most risk from the southward spread of Islam as they have already lost some of their territory to the caliphate. It wont' be long before you'll have Emirs in Lagos and Ibadan. it's all part of the long term plan.

Yoruba should respect their hosts and abide by their customs. Ilorin is not 'no mans land' it is part of the Sokoto Caliphate and a muslim town. You can't be performing pegan rituals in a muslim town, and offending yoru Fulani masters.

Just remember when GEJ left office it was N250 to 1£. We have basically witnessed %400 depreciation of the Niara under APC, and people still voted for these croocks at the last election! Na Wa! I hope all those Yoruba's, Fulani and Haussa that voted APC are buying currency, fuel and foodstuffs at diffrent rates than the rest of us!

The fact that people have to be forced to obey the so called sit at home, is clear proof that it dies not have popular support.

Wole Soyinka is a Yoruba bigot. I hope the Fulani of Ilorin show him red hot pepper. A man who did not say a word when APC thugs were injuring and killing people all over the SW, just because they wanted to vote for others. A man who has kept quite, while a convicted drug dealer, with false history sits in the highest office in the land. Soyinka dose not see anything wrong with all this. He only finds his voice when it's time to attack the North. Shameless hypocrite

Until Nigerians change their mindset, they will continue to suffer sadly.

How can any educated person really expect to have a life in Nigeria on fixed salary, when inflation is so rampant? How can you survive? Unless you are earning mega wages, with above inflation pay rise part of your contract, then it's a waste of time doing any kind of salary job. You are better off being self employed. If it's only 10 hectares you farm each year, with a good mix of crops, you'll do much better than 75K a month. The problem is everybody wants to be in the office. Continue, the poverty coming for many of you under Tinubu no get definition for dictionary.

Anybody who puts religious and/or ethnic considerations over merit is a total and complete slowpoke. Mr MURIC that is you I am talking to!

And people wonder why we keep getting it wrong. Why a country with so much potential remains mired in poverty, insecurity and underdevelopment.
How can a nation progress when key positions are not given allocated on merit, but on base considerations of ethnicity, religion..etc
Why does every state in the nation need to provide a minister? That automatically means that some ministers will be in the cabinet, not because they are qualified, but simply because there has to be a minister from their state. It's quite wrong

People should ask why the hotel shut down the event. Most likely it was due to noise and general unruly behavior. Just because you pay for to use a hotel hall, does not mean you are excused from their rules. Nigerians are a very indisciplined people who are quick to shout 'discrimination' when they are the ones who don't obey the rules and get punished.

My brother I understand. But I already gave family and friends their portion. This is just extra money. If I don't spend it on women, I will eventually dash it away or use it as tips for service people.

Honestly those of us who come from abroad need to broaden our 'game horizon' beyond the usual Lagos, Abuja and PH.
2 years ago followed a friend to Benin City and Warri, had a great time with lots sexy babes, paying a fraction of what Lagos babes charge. In Warri, Benin, Uyo. you can stay in fine hotels and get good quality hoes for a reasonable price. Personally I never hunt in Lagos and Abuja again. The prices the babes quote na the same as Yankee babes!

Males were never supposed to be with only female for life. Our Ancestors did not do it. No culture on this planet was monogamous historically. It was only when the European Christian Church woke up one fine day and suddenly said 'Men should only marry one wife' that this monogamy nonsense started. Let's go back to how we were supposed to live. One man with multiple wives. There will be no cheating then.

If it was in Nigeria, they will be given the man national honor. He's people will be celebrating him to he high heavens.

I actually agree with him. We need to start putting merit over ethnic and religious considerations is electing our leaders. What has zoning gained us as a people? Personally I don't care if we have muslim/muslim or christian/Christian or even North/North or South/South, what I want is competent law abiding leadership!

Without a doubt the most useless person to ever hold high office in our history. Zero impact on the direction of govt. Zero impact on protecting his people or their interests. Speaking big grammer from morning to night. A total waste of space

Total failure
Brainless dullard

History will record him as the WORST president ever.

Thus one is between Yoruba and their Fulani masters. The rest of us will get popcorn and be watching.

With each rejection, your job gets closer

My stand on this is simple, NO to zoning. Have people not suffered enough? When will we start to favour competence and merit, ove ethnicity? I've got no problem whatsoever if the next Edo governor is Esan, but it should be because he/she is the best for the job, not because it was zoned to them.
Delta state has been doing zoning, how has it benefited them? The state is a mess despite its massive wealth.
Please let us evolve our thinking.

Alpha Beta loading!!

they should go and shop in the APC only stores where goods are not expensive

tundein18:
And where is obi or any Igbo on this matter? The only thing you’ll hear obi talk about is anything involving his tribe

Dont' deflect. The issue here is Soyinka, if you have nothing to defend him on (and I am guessing you do not, as the case agaisnt him is crystal clear) then just move on

Utter Nonsense!
When MC Olumo and his thugs were committing ethnic cleansing during the elections Soyinka kept quiet.
When the new Speaker of the Lagos House of Assembly promised to introduce discriminatory laws in Lagos Soyinka kept quiet
When petrol subsidy was removed, causing untold hardship for the masses Soyinka kept quiet(He made noise when GEJ did the same)

But know a Youruba festival is forced to cancel and he suddenly finds his voice.

Soyinka has shown himself to be a total Yoruba bigot. He only speaks when he thinks Yoruba interests are at stake . He's lost the respect of many Nigerians. Shame!

A horrible murder was committed, the person who did it was trialed and sentenced. In Nigeria a lady was burnt to death, the person who did it publicly said he did it, even showed the box of matches he used. What has been done to him? Nothing. Nigeria is a lawless jungle. I'll take my chances in the UK anyday over Nigeria
