I heard they preached to the people to convert to Islam and those who are already Islam to become radicals..
Before shouting alkua agba before ki1ling them

Is it not better for them to have their own country while Christians have theirs?


Its possible

LegalWolf:
LOL! Agulu fraudster supporter. Of course, I do. Back to my question: do you know the meaning of allegation and exactly what does it mean?

Burob:
Wail on Wailer, Akpabio & em senators done shock u abi?

The ADC wailers have already started their wailing.

Amendments were made to a number of the clauses with majority of clauses retained as proposed.

TimeManager:
As sophisticated as technology deployed by Telecoms, Banks, others, they do experience technical glitches unannounced and unexpectedly.

In South Africa, there was technical glitches that marred the general election, same as was experienced in Nigeria. Therefore it makes complete sense for INEC to have options going into the the election.

-Kiss the truth!





You are only ranting from a place of ignorance. Technology is not 100% full proof or reliable.

-Kiss the truth!

KennethOkonkwo:
Why should it be equal?

Was Lagos not even more civilized before it was choosed as the capital?

codemaniacs:
Your point is not the truth and not based on facts so your point is false.

If your daddy is giving one of your siblings N800,000 monthly and an outsider hears it and starts saying your daddy gives his children N800,000 monthly is that the truth?

codemaniacs:
Oyo, Ogun, Ekiti, Osun, Ondo are more developed than Abuja if you consider the size of Abuja to those states?

Abuja has more economic activities than those states except Oyo and Ogun.

Why is Akwa ibom, Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa not mord developed than Abuja

codemaniacs:
A section of Lagos island was the capital not the whole of Lagos.

codemaniacs:
Abuja is not getting more development from the FG.

There is Akwa ibom, Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa who get more from the FG than Abuja.....

Its private individuals, politicians, external investors that are developing Abuja.

Why did Abuja development slow down when Buhari was president

codemaniacs:
Lagos was the export point and trading route they robbed blind.

codemaniacs:
Colonial government is not the FG.

Nigeria was not a democracy during that period.

codemaniacs:
There can never be equal development everywhere because money is a scarce resource.

development has to do with how much a place makes and the skillset of the people of that place or how much is invested into infrastructural developments of that place either by the people of that place, government or external investors.

KennethOkonkwo:
"ANY PROJECT"


All part of Nigeria including ENUGU,ONITSHA ETC weredeveloped by the FG,the state governments and NATIVES!


YOU CANT BE REMINDING US OF FG WHEN LAGOS IS MENTIONED BUT KEEP QIET WHEN ENUGU,PORT HARCOURT AND KADUNA THAT WERE ALL BUILT FROM THE SCRATCH BY THE COLONIAL MASTER AND FG ARE BEING MENTIONED

They met LAGOS as a city while those 3 including ABUJA are pure creation of the FG and COLONIAL MASTERS...LEAVE LAGOS ALONE AND FACE THE QUAD

T9ksy:
Lagos island not Lagos state. No one is re-writing history however, you are being obtuse by chanting "Lagos,Lagos ,Lagos" like a broken record player.

Am sure, you are aware of the difference between Lagos island - the Colonial seat of power at thr time and Lagos state, that was created in 1967.

delpee:
Apart from the College, barracks and airport, the whole industrial estate and GRA belonged to the Western Region.

keemsleek:
Even it was it was cocoa money and tax from the west that was used in lagos development. Money from lagos development didn't come from outside lagos or the west. That's the fact. The western people tax was used in starting lagos development and for your information calabar was the first chosen capital of southern Nigeria but it couldn't give them what lagos had so it was moved to lagos.

Basic123:
The same way Lagos revenue contributed to growth of major cities in Nigerian especially around that 1930.

Have you ever seen any people crying like nush baby whenever Enugu who directly benefited from Lagos revenu when it was gifted to Igbo people in1917.

Why obsession with Lagos?..If not that of jealousy...The colonial master dashed you a whole city from the scratch just like they dashed you PH in 1912 but you people obsession is over lagos that was met as a city

Basic123:
Yes it is....so what is so specual there?

When Lagos revenue was used to create ENUGU in 1917?..Is anybody making noise??


Key 1917 Revenue Highlights:
Dominant Source: Lagos was the primary port of entry for imports, yielding the largest share of customs duties in Nigeria.
Financial Surplus: The colony operated at a profit in 1917, allowing for funds to be directed to the Eastern Railway.
Comparison to Regions: While direct, specific numeric comparisons of 1917 revenue between the City of Lagos and specific Northern or Eastern regions are not highlighted in the search results, Lagos was the undisputed economic hub of Nigeria at the time, outperforming other regions in trade and duty collection.
Context: Following the 1914 amalgamation, the revenue from Lagos supported the administrative and development costs for the rest of Nigeria

keemsleek:
There was nothing like FG has of that time. What we had was colonial power and lagos was developed with money from the western region cocoa and tax.

Basic123:
So,what if it was built by FG?

[b]Was enugu and her development creation of Nidigbo Coopeeative society.

Enugu just like Abuja was pure creation of the colonial masters(Unlike lagos that they met as a city) and has enjoyed every government patronage since then,how many as any body reminded you that Enugu was build from the scratch from collective wealth,including Lagos wealth,because as at 1917 when Enugu was incorporated into a city by the british government,Lagos generated more revenue than every part of the country combined

Enugu, known as the "Coal City," was formally incorporated as a township in 1917 following the discovery of coal in 1909 and the subsequent rapid development by British colonial authorities, including the construction of a railway. It later became a municipality in 1956.

Wickedtruths:
The Police College was built before oil was discovered in Nigeria.
The Ikeja Airport was built before oil was discovered in Nigeria.

Zik came to the Western Region, saw development and almost fainted

Basic123:
So,now give us a picture of a Nigerian city at that time 1930 e.g Enugu..and prove to us that the changes in development was not attributed to allocation from colonial master and FG since then.
Infact Enugu was just 20yro then,after it was created by Lord Lugard.
3 cities were created by modern government of Niger area just like ABUJA and they are KADUNA,PORT HARCOURT and ENUGU not even LAGOS,not IBADAN and not KANO.

Those 3 cities are more no mans land than even the city of lagos

Wickedtruths:
Technical adviser to the losing side, Oyo and Ogun are not in Lagos, they pose greater revenues than your place.

I can easily list a doxen achievements of Awolowo. Can you list Zik's achievments?
This is how you will keep crying till forever.

keemsleek:
Which oil money? Seems many of you don't know history which oil as of 1930? Lol we talkingvabout cocoa or palm oil has of then. Read history pls

FreeStuffsNG:
That was part of Western Region

Ikeja was carved out from the defunct Western region to give the Lagos State created in 1967 sufficient land mass and access to some strategic assets still under control of OODUA till date.

That's why it's laughable to confuse Lagos with Lagos State.

The church has to provide information. Were they sleeping when someone jumped the fence, dug a hole and planted the device?
