It’s either you are igbo or you are a slave to the igbos

KINGinVAHALA:
No, it was Obi that built it along with your father and other igbo hardworking men with gala hawking

KINGinVAHALA:
, it’s destroying Lagos a second time built by Tinubu that matters to them

OsunOriginal:
Yes, Lagos was built by igbos and Obi in particular - the same way he built Anambra in the southeastern forest.

Princedapace:
Who and who is envious of Lagos? It is obvious Nigerians, majority are wack. It is like Egyptians bragging about Cairo to other Egyptians who aren't from Cairo. It is like those from Johannesburg in South Africa bragging about the city to those South Africans who aren't from Johannesburg.
See, Lagos is to Nigeria what Johannesburg is to South Africa, to what Cairo is to Egypt, to what Rabat is to Morocco, to what Dublin is to Ireland, to what Saint Petersburg is to Russia, etc. Every country has that commercial city that enjoys more IGR due to location and central govt presence.
Lagos was the colonial capital territory, the central govt capital for decades, enjoyed massive central govt investments, has a very centralized port system. It is natural for businesses and companies to move to that place. Over 80 percent of buisness in Nigeria are in Lagos.
It is just that Nigeria is made up of nations that can never ever love them selves if not, there is no need bragging about Lagos or hating Lagos to same Nigerians.
Every country on earth has her own commercial city hub that enjoys more IGR due to major factors such as govt sit of power, location and past history.

Melting point or melting pot?

War is the last place to bring moral arguments. Throughout history morality had never been considered in war until the end of WW2 and the setting up of the Geneva Convention. If you followed the Greek wars, Roman wars, Gengis Khan Mongolian wars, you will see such things as genocide, rape, stealing (war booty), slavery, etc., were considered normal consequences of war. Even in the Bible rape, genocide and slavery were not considered immoral in war.

As I said, exploitation of other people's land and resources had been an integral part of human history. Stronger and more cohesive societies exploit the weaknesses of weaker societies to their advantage. That's why the England, a people with land the size of yoruba land was able to conquer India, a whole continent and half the world. If Gadaffi had not weakened the political and social structure of the Libyan society so he could remain in power perpetually and the hand over to his son, the West would not have been able to exploit the division created.

I don't subscribe to the doctrine of whataboutism. Which is because someone else had done it justifies my doing same also.

OsunOriginal:
This is what they are envious of and saying Tinubu has stolen all the money in Lagos.

They didn't ask themselves why Lagos remains the envy of even other countries in West Africa

wirinet:
I hate it when people bring in morality into any arguments, it betrays lack of valid reasons for your positions.

Morality is a social construct that changes between societies, era and circumstances. Moral issues like human sacrifices, slavery, polygamy, homosexualism, prostitution, wars, genocide, fashion, abortion, substance abuse (smoking, marijuana,
drug use,) etc evolves with time even within the same society.

I never supported NATO's expansion to the east. But putin handling of the whole issues left much to be desired.

ken6488:
Do you justify Kosovo, Iraq?

alabo1:
He won't because he does not need to. Have you asked yourself why he identified Ukraine a and Belarus as redlines? A little bit of historical research into the invasions Russia has suffered in the past and their obsession with buffer zones will educate you.

While you guys are here crowing support for the west I hope you know the Monroe doctrine of the US forbids any power from setting up a military base in their hemisphere? This covers the entire North and South American continents - hence their readiness to go to War over the Russian military base in Cuba - up to Nuclear War. Yet they and their cronies have military bases at Russia's backyard and if they had succeeded with Ukraine they will have at Russia's backdoor.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Peace

wirinet:
I fail to see the connection between sex change and the invasion of Ukraine. Abi, Putin invaded Ukraine to stop sex change operations?

Putin is just a desperate man playing his trump card. He hurriedly annexed regions he knows the Russian military cannot hold for long and then threaten to strike with nuclear weapon if Ukraine attacks to capture the regions back.

I Love PMB

Overrated Slum City.
My aunt from Canada came back to Naija last month.
She was disturbing us to take her for sight seeing in Lagos.
She brought out her phone to take pictures
Immediately she saw how disgusting and dirty lagos is.
She became humble and kept asking why is lagos so dirty and overflooded.
I told her its the yoruba people
They are very dirty set of humans.
Especially yoruba Muslims.

She felt traumatized when we walked around maryland by foot. See dirty everywhere

plaetton:
Well, I way I see it, you can't plant a cactus tree and expect to harvest oranges from it.
Religion evolved from fear and ignorance of primitive humanity. From fear and ignorance. With fear and ignorance, you can get control and power over people. To maintain the power and control, you inject deceit, fraud and even more fear. And that becomes a self-perpetuating cycle. Religious beliefs are force-fed to us long before we are able to articulate our own thoughts. Thereafter, those beliefs hold us hostage for the rest of our lives.

Therefore, I think there is something generally and fundamentally wrong with religion and religious beliefs.

detectivejones:
This is disgusting in every sense of the word.

Fidelismaria:
Yuck! Disgusting.

Haywhy3579:
Easternar should come and contest for governor in lagos since it is general. U are just ranting rubbish. Lagos is south west and that is period. Go and study geography so that u will not be calling south west south east.

Emperor88:
Capital for almost a century? Are you okay? Are you sure you know what a century is? Who were the people who built Lagos pls? Who were the people that choose to abandon their state to come build Lagos. Why not go and build Calabar and Abuja. You agree Lagos is not built by Lagosians alone but when it comes to bad side of Lagos you won't agree it might the cause of immigrants and overpopulation of Lagos state but you choose to blame one man.

basilico:
Thats how Hitler started demonizing particular races and to him they were expendable.

Haywhy3579:
The same way ur people feels about the east. As other tribe, to buy land for east na war to live with u people na war and to have opposite opinions in the east na suicide and still yet u people will come to lagos and come and claim it that Nigeria is one and u practiced non of it in ur state. Also, it is a lame excuse to want to lay claim to lagos because it was former capital. Don’t I know the meaning of former and calaba was also formal capital and no south west is laying claim to it. Lagos maintained its standard and that is y it attracts people from all over the world. Calabar does not maintained its standard. U can lay claimed to Abuja because it is the capital and not lagos Abeg.

Echoban:
See his head like Everybody's property Why no claim lokoja, Calabar and Abuja as ur property. Ode

Lanretoye:
Where are the hypocrites?...those ones now will soon relocate to Lagos and still come and constitue nuisance.calabar also was a capital city before lagos,so is calabar also everybody's property?,dunce...oya goan claim Abuja too,I don't know how you feel when u reason like a pig.

Haywhy3579:
Kindergarten talk. How old are u?

FuckOsuPigs:
Olodo rabata. Lagos ceased being Nigeria's capital technically in 1985 and officially in 1991.

Akpu pigs wan claim Lagos. Riffraffs too like beta thing

wirinet:
Agreed there are sentimental value to properties, but 1000% is extra ordinary.
Trump is not the only celebrity that buys and sell properties and his MAGA cult worshippers can never afford to lodge in any of his properties not to talk of buying on, as most are poor disgruntled semi educated blue colour workers.

Besides, that does not explain the over exaggeration of the living spaces.

wirinet:
What I don't understand is why do the banks play along with Trump and accept his valuations? And then give loans on these extremely exaggerated valuations.
Any sensible adults would have an idea of property worth within his surroundings. Even without professional estimators and valuers, an average worker can estimate within 50 - 100% of property value within an area. At worst you can check the online property market. That he could get away with almost 1000% inflation is unbelievable.

It's more absurd to inflate property space. Are you telling me the bank's valuers cannot tell the difference between a 10,000 square meters space and a 30000 square meters space just by looking at it? You don't even require a tape rule to differentiate. Imagine Mara a lago being values at 700 million dollars and not even naira.

Those banks needs to be investigated. They must be accomplices in an elaborate money laundering scheme.

Burna Boy's Ex-Girlfriend, Stefflon Don Flaunts Her Curves In A Cryptic Post (Photos)

Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Burnaboy’s Ex-girlfriend, Stefflon Don flaunted her curves in new photos shared on her Twitter handle, IGBERETV reports.

The London-based rapper shared the photos with a cryptic caption;



https://twitter.com/stefflondon/status/1571945785415303168?t=5HiL_fuiDuFQHy4AuAADkA&s=19[/quote]Sadat, Jakumo. For sober academic analysis please.

Dtruthspeaker:
Abuse me all you want, it would not change the fact that ou are/were not supposed to pursue this at all.

For eery adult knows that where there is an authority, there will also be people under his rule. A DPO has his police officers under his station, The Major has his soldiers under his command, the C.E.O has his staff under his company. The Judge has the people in his state under his Orders. The President/King/Governor of a State has the people in his territory under his control.

Which is why we have words saying "Prerogative of Mercy, Presidential Pardon, Clemency, Leniency, Appeal, Amnesty etc".

It is unbelievable that you do not not know these things or you feign not to know them.

Dtruthspeaker:
This is shocking! Does a person having a special right or privilege not have what we call veto power?

But as we know, people who want to die, will always pursue the things which cause death!

rufus4g:
Sin against the Holy Spirit is not the sin many people take it to be. For instance, it is not merely going against God as in not obeying the commandments of God. It is a willing and continual rejection of the Gospel of truth. It is deliberately resisting the commandments of God.

Dtruthspeaker:
Did you not see this words? And are these not Overiding Authorities?

A thing which is unforgivable must be something which is very very bad and wicked.

And we have seen it even in our natural living that we have often heard what some one did and we all confessed saying "dis thing is very bad o. Ah, dis one is unforgivable"!

And after that, it is up to the offended to either forgive you or not which is what I have said already.

Secondly, it was Christ Himself Who fore-warned, among His Teachings that there is He Who you must not take your business of sinning to.

You also do not appreciate that whether Christ fore+warned us or not, that unfortunate circumstance is already there.

Therefore, it is a goodness that we have already been forewarned!

Exodus 23
20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

Dtruthspeaker:
Prerogative means Overiding or Affirmatory Authority.

Only for a person to come and further 'blast' it up which means broadcast it. That is a very very bad and wicked thing to do.

Dtruthspeaker:
1) Hmm! Is all I can say. For it is their exclusive right to either grant you mercy and forgiveness or withhold it from you.

2) Here you are talking about the death of a human being. Forgiveness here is obtainable for a human being has an Oga (God), who he must obey and God too can cancel/overide his failure/inability to forgive.

But this is absent in the case of The Holy Spirit, so wahala dey for person wey go fall inside this hole!
