The root cause is complete lack of discipline and impatience. I deal with that shijt on a daily basis. I have a koboko under my seat, ready for any fracas.
The traffic is the most annoying thing about Lagos. Every other thing, i can deal with.

jennykadry: It's okay, I know it's all jealousy. We all know you would wish to be an AMERICAN/AUSTRALIAN/CANADIAN OR BRITISH CITIZEN. You might be lukcy one day if only you can get rid of this hate in your heart.

Jesus Christ !! jealous of what. If only you knew. I will not stoop to the level of 'Sagamite' to start telling you about myself. Why on Earth would i wish to be an American, British or Canadian citizen?. Do i sound like somebody who has not visited all those countries you mentioned ?.Many Nigerians with those citizenships are in Nigeria right now working. It's not about obtaining a British Passport, it's about thrashing Nigeria and it's peoples just because you think you are now a British or an American citizen. Most of you guys do that out of a guilt complex. You have this need to explain and justify your British or American passport.
Please save us the agony. Remain a British citizen We won't miss you.

When the cat is away, the mouse will play. They're all comming out now. The bunch of losers the gave that ridiculous post from Afam 166 likes. Go back and read that post again. My position is very simple. IF YOU HATE NIGERIA THAT MUCH, STAY THE F*UCK AWAY. WE DON'T NEED YOU PEOPLE.

REALITY101: Some folks are out here whining like kids and typing world history. The bottom line is, there's absolutely nothing to be proud of about that shhit hole of a country.

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF. I enjoy the weather and the cheap, better pineapples. hahaha

Sagamite: person, Nigeria is a holiday place for most people. It is a place to stretch your pounds. Why would anyone with a brain, not want to get cretins like you as a drive for £40 a month when that same amount would get you only one taxi ride journey in the UK?

Oh really !. You are willing to come to Nigeria and get a driver for 40 pounds a month, while i take taxi rides in London for 55 pounds a trip or more. Go figure. Have you ever pondered what made China and India the fastest growing economies in the world ?. FYI, it's the availability of cheap labour. Nigeria has that in abundance.

Captain Codes:
And do u like that?

Yes i do. This is because i do not want anybody to derail the roadmap to constant electricity supply. Regular power supply is very dear to me and GEJ is on the right track. I actually like the APC manifesto. But that could wait till 2019. I may vote APC then. Let Jonathan serve out his 2 terms.

Afam4eva: it is utterly shameful to be a Nigerian in 2013. I could sense a deep anger and regret for God making that lady a Nigerian. She never asked for it but unfortunately she was placed in a place that have 1diots as leaders. I won't blame her if she burns her Nigerian passport. It's good riddance to bad rubbish.

I'm not surprised this utter gabbage you wrote here got 166 likes. The reason is that 95% of Nigerians active here live in the Diaspora, mostly UK, US and Europe. They're all browsing on cheap internet connections.Here in Naija we pay hard for our MBs.
How old are you anyway ?. This comment from you is very juvenile.

jennykadry: ^^^ YOU ARE THE DUMBEST PIECE OF CRAP THAT HAS EVER EMERGED FROM NIGERIA

Have you burnt your Nigerian passport yet ?. If not go ahead and burn it. I know i hit a nerve. The truth hurts. But it remains the truth.

Yea ! Nigeria is "Hell on Earth'where this British dude spent 3 years. He still wants to come back to spend another 3 years !!. Could it be all the fine, easy, Naija babes he picked up at the Lagos clubs he went to? Spending our oil money.

His Blog is a joke. As usual, the Diaspora Naija haters are quick to jump on his trail. He DID NOT say anything new.

I would like to repeat that any Nigerian that comes here to boast of tearing or burning his Nigerian passport would not receive a pat on the back for that. You all dimwits can criticise and rubbish Nigeria all you want. That has always been the trend from lost, dejected and poor Diaspora Nigerians. I dare you people to stay away from Nigeria. In fact do us a favour, take a foreign passport. We are overpopulated in Nigeria as it is.
The fact remains that you lot are stuck in those places because you could not fit in in Nigeria. I know lots of people that cannot spend up to 2 weeks in London before the urge to rush back to Lagos/ Nigeria sets in. We already have so many people that love to be in Nigeria. Some even took British passports so that they can live in Nigeria. This might confuse some dimwits here.But the smart ones know what i mean.

Finally anybody that boasts of burning his or her Nigerian passport is a FOOL.

Jonathan is comming back anyway. He will remain our president till 2019. Can't see anybody stoping that.

Sagamite: Obviously you will need to be strong, resilient and fit when hunger wires you because of poverty or when you are being chased into the bush by armed robbers robbing the long-distance luxury bus you are using to travel to your village for Xmas.

Those "challenges" do not happen in Canada, USA, UK or Europe. No need to be strong, resilient and fit, you just need to utilise the immense resources and the optimal environment provided for you to self-develop to contribute and progress with the host nation.

You gave (obviously fortuitously) a good description of the type of Nigerian that will thrive in such a shithole you take pride in. Thank God you did not mention anything like having brains among the people you feel are welcomed to your dream of Nigeria.

That's exactly my point. Stay the f*uck away. It's usually poor people like you who ran away to Europe to escape poverty that are quick to label Nigeria poor. In UK, USA, Canada and Europe, most Nigerians are relatively poor. Now, go hop on that Gabbage truck. The streets need to be clean on Sunday too.

Any Diaspora Nigerian who wishes to tear and burn his or her Nigerian Passport should go ahead and tear it. We really DO NOT need half-hearted Nigerians in Nigeria. We only need those who are willing and able to go through the mill with us to make Nigeria a great country giving the indices available.
I would like to assure those weak Nigerians that they will never be allowed into the country again. The embassies would receive strict instructions to DENY them visas. They should live and die in Canada, USA, UK or Europe. Only the strong, resilient and fit people are welcome to Nigeria. All the weaklings are hereby advised to obtain a Canadian, US or British passports. Thank you.

I was long overdue. Many thanks to GEJ for finally making it a reality. Now, let's make it bigger and better.

APGA will be extinct by 2015. Besides, Soludo should make up his mind on which party to belong to. This smells like crass opportunism.

Kairoseki77: Calling someone a white dude is not racism.

Throwing mayonnaise at white players, like they throw bananas at us, would be racist.

Throwing BACON, not mayonnaise, at those pork gobbling mofos. Can you imagine what black players go through in Europe ?.

CALABAR IS SAFER THAN LONDON. "nuff said. Those travel advisories are RACIST on it's own. Besides since when did calling someone "White" become racist. Keshi need not apologise.

Clear evidence of the evil possesed UK (Western) kids. Will not happen in Nigeria.

So many Ediotic comments from unintelligent and downright stoopid yoruba( non-lagosian) f00ls. The Army and police are just there to do there rightfull duties. No different from when they were drafted to the the Gani Square during the " Save Nigeria Group protests. As a matter of fact the police and military presence there means that Mr. Oki will never be accepted as the Babaoloja. He is incapacitated to carry out his duties.
The military men will only be there on a temporary basis, then it's back to business as usual. The traders at Ladipo are going nowhere and if Fashola wants to close the market down, he must provide an alternative market.
No big deal for police and Army men to be at Ladipo market. Go there tommorrow and you will not even notice the presence of the military men.

antartica: Maybe to declare a state of emergency in lagos for blatant acts of secession.

Hahahaha... please don't make them shit in their pants. We will give them a second chance. Lagos CANNOT seceed, it will be ursurped. Have you forgotten that Murtalla Mohammed designated lagos a "Special Area". That status has not changed. That is why massive oil money was used to develope Lagos in the '70s, '80s and '90s.

“There is too much at stake for anyone to begin to insight the Igbo community against their host state. There is too much at stake here. It is a very dangerous and unwarranted precedent. And I hope that common sense will prevail here. Also for those who are praying for blood should know that there is too much at risk here.” - FASHOLA


I'm glad that Fashola, himself realises that there is too much at stake with regards to Lagos and the Igbo community. I hereby urge all those Yoruba commentators from Osun, Ondo, Oyo, Ekiti and Ogun states to watch their mouths. Lagos is and will always be bigger than any ethnic group in Nigeria. Treat the Igbos with utmost respect and we will all live in peace. Even the Chinese and Indians are claiming a sizeable chunk of Lagos. We all love Lagos,and we will all contribute to make it the commercial capital of Africa.
Fashola and the Yorubas should be very carefull with their deeds,otherwise they would lose Lagos completely. The president has said that he will go to any length to keep Nigeria one and indivicible. I am 100% for ONE NIGERIA now. That is the best arrangement for we Igbos now. From Nigeria, we will conquer Africa.

Such statements really gets my blood boiling. Could'nt be bothered to read it. JUST GIVE US REGULER POWER SUPPLY FIRST. F00Ls.

What an empty statement.

I don't know in which city you live in, but in Lagos it's N100 to inflate a tyre. If the Vulca notices you are an Akata JJC, he will collect N200.

I always insist on watching the guage while he checks it. The biggest Mugus are those guys that remain seated in their car while the Vulca checks their tyres.

His real name is Charles Mcgill, not a Nigerian! He just adopted a Nigerian (Yoruba) name. The man is a beast. They should please address him by his original name.

Chinom: Why all the hoopla about who built or owns these houses ?. Let it be clear to all that LAGOS is bigger than any tribe in Nigeria. Be it Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo or SS people. Yoruba's can only claim Lagos Geographically. That's where it ends.
LAGOS and ABUJA are special cases in Nigeria. It's wishful thinking for any tribe to claim them.
Nigerians will tell you who owns Lagos when and if you are dumb enough to enforce those claims. Lagos is both National and international.
Quit kidding yourselves.

I love those houses and i'm happy for those who can afford them. However, there's a lot of corrupt money buried in those manshions.

I had to quote my earlier post to make it clear to some dumbskulls who could not understand the point i was trying to make. The status of Lagos as it is now WILL NEVER CHANGE. Every plot of land anywhere in the world has indigenous inhabitants. From the Aboriginals in Australia to the Aworis ( i think) in Lagos.
So, lets please enjoy the beautiful houses and shove petty emotions aside. As a Nigerian i have the right to settle anywhere in Nigeria i choose to. Feel free to settle in your village if you so wish.

olas2u: When will become open,you are to tribal and closed.

I'm always open to the truth. The truth may hurt, but it's still the truth. Accept it and move on. Lagos is and will always be my home. we a'int going nowhere.

[quote author=(60)Nine%]Lol @ philosophy. Yes belongs as in ownership. Does Enugu belong to Ibos? Olodo [/quote]Oohhh Yes ! Enugu belongs to and is owned by Igbos because Igbos still own 99.7% of Enugu Land. Same cannot be said of Lagos.

CAMEROONPRIDE: Must u people bring tribalism everywhere . .
Lagos is the pride of Nigeria. Esp 4 non yoruba . And we are in Africa there is no such thing as no mans land .yes Lagos belongs to yoruba. But any Nigerian Should b proud of Lagos. This is actually the only place that can can make me visit Nigeria. The name alone is something else. Lagos.

Define " Belongs" . Maybe the same way Texas 'belongs' to the Chicano IndiaNS. Most importantly, how would the Yorubas reclaim 'their' land.
