Omo Sekina:
In as much as i don't usually delve into religious issues, i cannot but observe and make comments on this and indeed i don't mind whose ox is gored. I had taken out time a while back and looked at the state called "Lagos"; and about 2 months ago i told a gathering of friends that Lagos state is a muslim state. My friends came up with different opinions; some said they don't think so and some said they have never thought about it etc

However, i was only able to confirm my sincere opinion on Friday when Lagos state government held its government forum marking its 1st 500 days in office. I was chocked but not so shocked that in the commencement of the occasion as usual prayers would be administered. To my great surprise, prayer was only taken in islam. I thought about our leaders (so called). Could that have been an omission or what? As supposed, despite the fact that i was born and bred here in Lagos and the fact that this state has become so cosmopolitan; accommodating all tribes and tongues, knowing fully well that it was not only muslims that voted for the present administration.

I really find this very absurd and not acceptable to the people of this great state. For record purposes, if this was a mistake, we are not looking forward to that kind of mistake again.

Mugu,
Please don't bring this Hausa style divide & rule into Lagos.

Prayers are said in public funtions nationwide except Hausa-Fulani area thus: Opening prayer-Islam;Closing prayer-Christian. This is usually alternated.

Fashola was a christian until age 21(probably converted cos of his dad,as he's the 1st son),his mother is Anglican,his wife catholic ,all his siblings are christians. So please Yoruba people are more enlightened than that.

Poverty,NEPA,Area boys & inept local govts cut across religion lines.

Thank you.

Sorry I called u mugu,its just a bit funny .

sfw?

still waiting

The muthaf**ker's a shoplifter in Boston.  

His Russian-prone ass'll be in jail very soon !

the guy is still taking his pill

LMAo

We have been hearing/reading about the impending cabinet reshuffle for months now,up till this moment : NOTHING.

I can bet most of the ineffective ministers would have schemed their way out of a sack now& I read in the papers today that the president is 'shopping for technocrats' !

What kind of visionless person did Obasanjo impose on us !!!!!

This man is no longer 'baba go-slow',he's 'Oga Standstill'

Anybody?

So ,has anybody seen/heard of them 'hustling'?

diggler:
havent read through the entire posts but i believe a majority responders share the following views.

. . . . . .then read through before drawing conclusions

QuotaSyste:
Sagamite is the only person here hitting the nail on the head. Fact is most northerners are POOR and you can't compare their POORNESS to the poor that is obtain in the south. .

I'm sure you meant POVERTY !

Beast-of-no-nation !

ishmael:
I'm not one. But must i be a malo man before i say the truth? I live in the north, (kaduna and abuja), so i know exactly what i'm saying. We've decieved ourselves so much that these northerners are the poorest, whereas they are growing richer day by day. is Dangote a southerner? is he not one of the richest men in Africa today?

Good. Glad you're not. I see your point of view.

I think what Sagamite is saying is that you have possibly the worst kind of poverty(&wickedness) among them. How else can you explain releasing one's children to the elements all in the name of almajiri?

I however dnt agree(with Sagamite) that  it has to with money for ticket. haven't we heard of people that cross from Katsina-Niger-Libya-Spain? I lived in KD too,& majority of guys that take this route to Europe were southerners?

Ishmael,
u be Malo?

[quote author=$$Rhino link=topic=170223.msg2786080#msg2786080 date=1221143861]Imagine a Nigeria where:
1. There is light 24 hours of a day, 7 days of a week and 365 days of a year, and if by any chance the light has to go off, there is prior notice and apologies is sent as well and wont be off more than few minutes.
2. The roads are great and there no more a death traps.
3. Medical institutions are top of te lines.
4. Security is great, and you could just park your car and wont have to pray and fast that the ride wont be stolen.
5. There is safe and drinkable water at every home
6. There are affordable houses and home for 80% of the populations, because it is not possible to have 100% of the populations.
7. Affordable education for more than just few.
8. Unemployment rate of less than 10%
9. Fair distribution of the national wealth.
10. Good facility for growth and start up of a business

What and what can we all do to make this happen?[/quote]You'll need to wake up from your slumber !
