Guy, you need to quit fooling yourself with that stupid quote you keep throwing around from your so-called 'Oni' (his real handle is 'Ooni') coz that your 'Oni' is none other than a well-known Igbo troll that uses that moniker to fool his fellow ipod touts (obviously it's working else you won't be here quoting such nonsense). If you can believe in a fake Biafran passport, what else won't you believe?

What of this one...Was it also done by Ooni in Singapore...mention one city in SW that was so honored...mind you Kigali and Accra are nations capital ciites...

ENUGU made history on Wednesday, as the only Nigerian city among thirty five cities from across the globe invited to join the 100 Resilient Cities Network (100RC) pioneered by The Rockefeller Foundation, New York.

The announcement was made during The Rockefeller Foundation’s Urban Resilience Summit in Singapore. The other three African cities that made the list alongside the Coal City of Enugu are Kigali (Rwanda), Accra (Ghana) and Arusha (Tanzania)...

Are you daft?? Who is arguing with you about Abuja and the perks it currently enjoys as an FCT?? We are TALKING ABOUT LAGOS, dumbo! Lagos is a SELF-SUSTAINING STATE TODAY! Abuja IS NOT. Your argument would only carry much weight if FG accords the same perks and subsidized development to Lagos as it does Abuja. Even as we speak, Abuja is relatively enjoying less development under this administration than it did under GEJ, why? Because its allocation/subsidized development from the FG has reduced drastically owing to the slump in oil prices!! But the same cannot be said about Lagos coz Lagos does NOT depend on FG money. #FACT! I know your type. If Lagos administrators had allowed the state to continue to retrogress and decay, your likes would have changed the narrative to something like, 'well, those Yoruba people cannot even manage Lagos without the FG'. And speaking of Ibadan, the city may not be on par with Lagos (it can certainly do wayyy much better than it is currently doing with a more aggressive leadership coz it has everything it needs to match Lagos, that is our thinking in the SW coz we don't hinge our development on Oil money, FCT status, or SeaPorts like y'all obsess over) but it has witnessed more robust development that your entire enclave. This goes beyond throwing derisive brown-roof invectives/expletives, guy.

I have told you how badly Lagos was doing after the FCT was shifted to Abuja, and how the state was re-invented as a result of its focused, visionary, and quality leadership. Unfortunately, you people put so much faith in Oil money/rent-seeking and 'Federal presence' as requisites for development, but sorry we SWesterners don't share that worldview coz if we did, today we'd be making excuses while Lagos would've continued denegerating rather than find creative means of arresting its decay. But as you can see, even Ogun is stepping up, while the likes of Oyo and Osun are also following suit.

All these una pie and bar chart no de tally with what is on the ground...

Thetruthsayer10:
how develope is Lagos now compared to when just one city was the seat of the fg. Ibadan is growing like Lagos and with good government nothing will compare to in Nigeria

...but Owerri, Awka and Enugu are not developing...?

Ogbeni leave matter...

mercyville:
Ibadan is still more developed than all your tiny states even with its brown roofs which your tiny Igboland has too...

If that will make you happy why not believe it..

But the fact on the ground says otherwise...Please try and travel out of SW for once...

See...

Ibadan is not and will not make the list in 100 years with all the dirt, filth and decaying roofs....

Lagos just strugggled to get in ...was it last year...

Only your illiterate Obi can write in bad English like this....
Coming to east, you now have many cities, including ones which were not developed in 60s. They have booming cities like Enugu, Owerri, Onitsha, Aba, Nnewi, Awka , Umuahia. If u go to awka umuahia and owerri, u see modern buildings without brown roofs, u see fine hotels, shoping malls and fly-overs under construction. If u also go to other ibo cities outside southeast such as Asaba and Porthharcourt u see the same development...



Spot the crudeness of the trash you wrote...

I just copied what was quoted...

You will die instantly if you swear with SANGO (assuming you believe that Sango is still powerful)...that I constructed that quote...

I have no time for your rubbish. You can believe what you want.

Dumb question.Why is Nigeria not like South Africa..it is the administrators of course.Lagos was left to rot by the FG but the owners(..Yorubas .all Yoruba can claim any part of Yorubaland including Ibadan to the extreme part of Ondo state...)through the ingenuity of Tinubu,gave it a new lease of life.Reason Igbos from Abakaliki like you would nearly kill yourselves on Yoruba God given ancestral land....

Dense cunny brain...You think you de do me...You are doing yourself...

Why didn't the governors of Oyo, do the same in Ibadan which is the real capital of western region?

If Lagos was left to the Yorubas as Ibadan was left to them...It would have been another Ibadan.

FACT!!!!

Thetruthsayer10:
oral say written by IPOB themselves come up with something new

Try and leave your brown roof in Abeokuta and visit Owerri or Awka...for instance...

Thetruthsayer10:
different country Cotonou is the commercial hub of Benin and it is relatively developed. Nigeria is also far richer than Benin republic with only 10 million population less than that of just Lagos alone.

...but Lagos was developed by the Yorubas (remember)...why adding that Nigeria is richer?

...when the white people came to Lagos and developed it before the FG's investment (as you claimed)...was Nigeria a country then?

You cunny Mf-kers...just like to dribbling yourselves for nothing...

mercyville:
Ibadan was and still more developed than all Igboland joined even with the foolish governors it has been saddled with.It has more modern buildings than all Igbo states joined and has brown roofs which were built when you were still very primitive...

Liar...

See...the below...and try an travel more...

"...During the 60s and 70s when u mention Port harcourt and Enugu in East, mention Kano and kaduna in North, then u must mention Lagos and Ibadan in west.
Lagos was the capital of Nigeria while Ibadan was the largest city in West Africa. We were a very suffisticated people then. We never had much brown roofs. We had largest professors. we also had other cities such as Abeokuta etc but now table has turned on us, ibadan is the biggest slum in the whole of Africa (if not the world) with many dirty buildings without toilets. The brown roofs are enough to make you throw up.

Abeokuta has declined from a city to a small town with slums. Other state capitals in west are mere villages like, osogbo and ado ekiti and akure. (I'd have icluded ilorin but since it has an emir as the traditional ruler, it is now owned by northerners). Here in osogbo the best hotel looks like a guest house

Thetruthsayer10:
dumb question Benin republic is a country why Lagos is a state are u this dumb u can only compare Benin republic to nigeria

Cunny maniac....You knew where I was going...

Now why is Contonu not like Lagos....

pazienza:
Good perspective, bro.

The FG has been taken the people of SE for a long ride and nobody is doing anything about it.

The only reason the youths have not gone wild and revolted in a dangerous manner is becasue of the past civil war. If Nigeria had not had civil war before....worse things would have happened. The evil by the FG has continued for 50 years. How can people invest in the region with the worse FG roads? The quantity of power shared to the region is less, even when the region is the most likely to progress technologically....Easter MAN group listed the number of companies that have closed shop because of poor power allocated to the zone and other poor infrastructure.

Why can't the regions or zones be given money to develop the areas they have comparative advantage? They just want to continue to suppress the region. Which investor will come to the Eastern part, where he has to fly to Lagos or Abuja to get home? If I was an investor, I will choose, Lagos-Ogun axis or Abuja, because of the international airports. The SE has no international airport. With the $1 billion, the SE might decide to build an international airport or the 2nd Niger bridge...

It is too clear that the FG doesn't want the eastern region to develop...for obvious reasons.

Ekinematics:
Before you begin to scream here, it's Mbo, not Uyo. They are 2 different things.

What difference does it make? Why the pain?

From Mbo or Uyo to Aba, Nnewi and Onitsha is shorter distance than from Lagos..

If you are hurt in any way...you know where the transformers are...

omohayek:
You've long been notorious on these forums for your extreme ethnocentrism and runaway inferiority complex, and usually I wouldn't bother to even read - let alone respond - to the hate-inflected drivel you're prone to spitting out, but this time I'll make an exception: the Lagos you spend so much time obsessing over was already by far the wealthiest part of the country before Nigeria even existed as a single country, which in turn was well before the British and their accompanying missionaries had made significant inroads into your part of the south-east.

All this self-congratulatory rubbish you've written here cannot gainsay the fact that Lagos was by the 1880s so valuable to the British that it was to protect its trade with the south-western interior that they even bothered to create a colony of "Southern Nigeria" in the first place. Igbo mass migration to Lagos only began in the 1920s, many decades after it had become a flourishing city of trade, education and industry, so even in that respect you and your ilk reverse cause and effect - it was the already extant prosperity of the city that drew - and continues to draw - Igbos to it, rather than any particular contributions of theirs setting it apart. As for the idea that SS (not SE) oil money "developed" Lagos, one would have to be ignorant enough to think the place was "undeveloped" until 1970 to swallow such manifest nonsense - but here you and your bandwagon of ignoramuses clearly qualify.

The notion that funds from the much poorer northern and south-eastern parts of Nigeria ever played a meaningful role in "developing" a place which had always been worth more than the rest of the country is rubbish from start to finish, cooked up in the ignorant brains of people whose inferiority complexes cannot allow them to absorb indisputable facts that are trivial to confirm with a simple Google search or two. Or you might even consult a professional history of Nigeria or two, such as the ones by Richard Bourne or Toyin Falola; but who am I kidding? The desire to seek out objective knowledge is totally foreign to the likes of tribal chest-beaters like you, who would rather believe and propagate nonsensical lies that happen to bolster their fragile sense of self-worth.

Why is Contonu in Benin republic with its ports not like Lagos?

The Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, said the huge amount, which the Federal Government was spending on infrastructure projects across the country was attracting fresh investments into the country.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Can this lying APC government state the projects in the eastern region?

Is it any surprise that the investment destination tallies with the regions with highest FG investment...?

Useless country...

"..Anyone who thinks Nigeria can stick together is either a fool or an enemy of the country..." Falae

If they government is serious, it should give each region, at least 1$ billion for infrastural development. Let the regions choose the areas most needed and it has more advantage on. The hopeless and clueless FG should not continue to choose where to invest...which has been the north and SW for the past 50 years.

If Lagos with it N1.02 trillion budget could be as in this pic... only a sick imbeci...would compare it with a small state with N110 billion budget in the east...

The shame is upon you ogbeni...

kabrud:
Unfortunately, I don't think Buhari has that in his photo album because that ain't his. The owner of a picture keeps it for future reference. Today is that future you really waited for and you have actually posted your selfie. . Any other one?

Ever so childish...

Going by your logic this pics you....?

GameGod:
Dream on

..is this not Lagos...?

Ibadan will definitely be worse than this...

Yanmiri fantasies!

Abooki see your fantasy...

Bloody liar!!!! The remittances are coming from Yoruba people in the UK and US and Canada. Where una people dey aside south Africa? Ipob statistics

You lousy Abobaku like measuring d*ck in everything...

Its only UK you have more Yorubas than Igbos...

Who is more in Germany, France, Belguim, Austria, Holland, Japan, China, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Russia, India, Brazil, etc, etc...? Abi you believe you can only get forex in UK...?

kabrud:
Tinubu. The way this thing go pain those yisrealis wey dem forget inside erosion

Afonja-Ilimi-Ilorin affairs..

Alariiwo:
The funny thing is.. you Igbos never go near Hausas, even your fathers and fore fathers never dared.

Why did igbos not go to Zaria or Kano to become VC?

You guys have taken Yorubas for granted far too long. But all that has come to an end.

Is that why you have to hide under the Hausas to kill off a generation of people?

Now despite these, how far a you ahead of the Igbos?

Ese!!!

With fired determination and focus, it can be achieved.

How was Dubai decades ago?

..but now...

On funding...Nigerians in diaspora remitted $21 billion in 2015... most of these monies come from the eastern region people. If the funds are channeled to the region as developmental vehicle, these can be achived in 20, 30, 50 years time.

GuyfawkesAB:
The same narrative passed unto you and millions of other now-senseless youths.

Having Igbos occupy all those key positions you mentioned was not based on merit. Yorubas as at then had more than enough qualified men and women to fill those posts.
The NCNC-NPC coalition made sure to put only their people in most federal positions and offices to spite the West, thanks to the likes of Mbonu Ejike, Mbadiwe and other Zik boys who took the liberty to run their ministries like their village clans.

It was the patience and magnanimity of Awo and his government that kept the Yorubas from protesting such Nepotism (same thing most of us now accuse Buhari of today). Well at some point they couldn't take it anymore. The only two universities in southwest was going to have two Igbo VCs! When we had more than enough qualified professors. Even civilians who shied away from partisan politics saw the bias of the ruling party. And igbos in the southwest took it upon themselves to rub salt in these injuries by openly boasting of their connections and privileges because their 'brothers' were in power.

When Akintola parted ways wit Awo, one of his strong point for campaign for support in Yorubaland was that our qualified men and women will now get posts and offices that have been denied them because his party is now connected with the Ruling one in Lagos.

I will stop here, but will advise you to get cured of the lies your father's and elders told you and find out the truth.

Shut up...they got those posts, VC... on merit.

There was no lies...

Why do you think Awo introduced starvation, despite the huge military supplies from Britain and other allies? Why hasn't the FG introduce starvation to Boko haram, enclave to finis the war?

Awo's action...with deep hatred and vision to prop up his people by killing a generation of other tribe to gain position from the back door is the greatest evil of man inhumanity to man...

kabrud:
But you just posted your selfie

Poor education is dangerous...so if I post the pic of your god Buhari...then it becomes my selfie...?

kabrud:
Which of the two is you? I suspect the one on the left though

Yanmiri don't do those...do they?

[quote author= post=65523485]Anambra owns three giant rice milling plants with numerous small mills, Ebonyi one giant plant with many small mills, same with Enugu Adani rice milling plant, can you just show us one milling plant in West.[/quote]They will soon throw up pie and bar charts showing you fake statistics that SW is the greatest rice producing region in Nigeria.

Fear this people and their propaganda.

Those Lagos-Ibadan axis people..Hm!

Can you provide the link to the official UNICEF report you are citing here? The ThisDay report is not credible at all even if you slap the Unicef label all over it.

Can you provide your birth certificate...?
