Prof Corruption: Go the East and appoint as many Babalojas as you deem fit. But you don't come to West and tell us how to express our culture and tradition. If you find that too difficult to bear, sue the state or go back to your village.

Take note that i am not Igbo but i must tell you that i have lived in Lagos for more than 17yrs and i have noticed that the Yorubas are jealous and envious of the success of Igbos. They may deny it but it is a fact. In your quest to inherit the properties of the Igbos in Lagos should anything happen,you should know that this is 2013 and not 1966...Yorubas keep hating while the Igbos are striving; converting every little resources at their disposal to wealth,buying up all the lands in Lagos State,while the Yorubas use the proceed to buy bleaching creams,marry more women and give birth to miscreants. Now was it not Mr. Fashola who was praising the skill exhibited by street hawkers as amazing? Who are the real miscreants in Lagos? The Igbo street hawkers or the idle yoruba miscreants from Mushin to Surelere,from Ojueleba to Fadeyi...Nonsense.

Truly speaking we all have a lot at stake as the Governor has said,though he knew this as a fact but failed to take it into consideration when making his decision. The polity is already heated up,hence,the more reason Fashola and his advisers should have followed the right procedure in sending the Igbos back to their village,imposing Babaloja or what on the Igbo traders,imposing a minor over her grandparents as the Iyoloja of Market association etc. Mr. Governor admitting your mistake does not necessarily mean you are given up,it means growing up...Please grow up. #Team one Nigeria.

Seriously this is getting out of hand ooooooo.....Which one be dis molestation of under age children everyday for dis country? Now a 17yr old girl killed someone who is molestation her by bleeping her six times a day, some people dey castigate her for breaking free from jail..

Take heart Bro......nothing can bring your Dad back at this point in time,I am sure he is sitting somewhere watching you,Mum, your siblings if any and other relatives too numerous to mention grieving his demise......I can hear him saying grieve no more, I have conquered the enemy called death....The first step to getting justice is to go to the divisional police station where the accident occurred and make a report,so the police can investigate and arrest the driver of the vehicle.

I think guys are really missing the point here,the fact is we are not condemning the act of re-uniting destitute`s, miscreants, the homeless or whatever name the ACN led Government of Lagos States decides to call them with their families or state, what we are condemning is the process the Government adopted in relocating this individuals,dumping them on the road in an ungodly hour...Is that how a responsible Government should treat it`s people be it Igbo,Yoruba or Northern miscreants? ACN has failed not just the Ndigbo in this regard but Nigeria as a whole. I hope they will be bold enough to tender an unreserved apology to Nigerians and desist from such dehumanizing action if they do wish to go beyond an ethnic party to a national party be it in the form of APC or ACN.

lookooman: have you forgotten what happened to your fore fathers( I'm sure your father wasn't even born then ) during their failed attempt to carry arms against the Nigerian state........ the reason an igbo can't rule Nigeria again is cos of your character..... Greedy fools.... here you are playing the igbo - hating nation card just like your chinua achebe did till his death, even though he never contributed to the development of Nigeria in any way .....why can't igbos stay on their home and develop the their towns and villages instead of overpopulating other regions , calling tribes that welcome them with open hands fools when they have prospered in those places, ingrates ......... you shout one Nigeria and yet on igboland you don't tolerate other tribes and even avoid like plagues any igbo man that there convert to Islam.... yet you want to live comfortably on other regions........... mtshewwww

Dude one thing I cannot not understand is why you guys develop so much hatred for each other....Men life is too short for this hate.. We are talking about lives here that are gone forever for no fault of theirs. RIP to the deceased and I hope the security agents will be more proactive in tackling this cretins called Boko Haram.

You did the wrong thing, you know if it were to be the country where your Cousin just came back from you would have been cooling your feet in jail for traffic offense or pay the charges,you are as guilty as the policeman....All hand must be on deck to make Nigeria a better, safe and civilized place to live. Long live the federal republic of Nigeria.

Does he smoke,......if yes he has to stop...He is quite a handsome Dude.

SLIDE waxie: There is definitely something wrong with people's intelligence...especially my brothers up east.

Lemme do some simple analysis for u:

1. Part of fashola's mandate is to protect the lives and properties of RESIDENTS of Lagos state. Regardless of their parent state.

2. It has been established by investigations that most beggers are informants to perpetrators!

3. In the Law of Lagos state, begging is illegal.

This means, if u are caught begging, u have gone against the law and is liable to imprisonment and further actions as deemed fit by the Lagos State's law.

And since some beggers have been indicted, and no one will confess to the crime of being a grass to criminals, the best way the Lagos state govt will protect the lives and properties of other legal and bonafide residents is to flush out these criminal minded individuals!

This is an administrative law that governs lagos state. Did the govt go inside offices to eject and deport people, no?

So, biliv me, the suit is a failure!

My friend did the law on begging stipulates that the indicted beggars should be bundled and dropped under the bridge at an unwholesome hour, thereby endangering their lives? Please let us stop thinking with our emotions...if they are found guilty of breaking the law they should be punished according to the law and not otherwise..I strongly believe in the effort of the Lagos State Government to create a decent environment but the law must be followed and what evidence do you have to establish that this individuals are criminally minded? Were they taking to a law court to determine their guilt or innocence? If they were taking to the court what was the court judgment?

Gossips, speculations and propaganda to pull the enemy down............The truth is he has honored the police invitation and investigation or interrogation is going on.

I am happy my siblings have something eating up their time rather than roaming the streets, due to ASUU strike. You can continue the tribal war.
@ topic: the action of the Lagos state Government is wrong and hope they will be bold enough to tender an unreserved apology.

I get infuriated when public servants use INHERITED problems as an excuse for their poor performance.... Was it not a PDP led Government which Wogu still represents that went into the agreement with ASSU? Is government not a business of continuity especially when the same party has been in power for over 12years, Please Mr. Wogu stop given us lame excuses while your kids are schooling abroad.....Obiviously PDP has failed the people.

FILEBE: so...because a doctor is not paid well means he should start infecting people with fever? O

Hope you know how to read?

@OP i am happy that your Dad is doing fine and you guys have your freedom without any issue of accidental discharge from their gun. This is the more reason why we all have to stand up and fight for the progress of this nation because we will all be suffering from the mismanagement of this country one way or the other... I read on one of the national papers that the monthly allocation this Divisional police stations receives every month or two is N35,000 as running expenses...Please tell me how a police station will carry out their functions with this amount? Is it to buy fuel for their patrol vehicles monthly? or what? This story was confirmed by the force PRO or DPRO dont know his rank but his name is Frank Mba...The arrest of your dad,you and other neighbors and the demand for bail charges is just one of the numerous antics they deploy to meet up with their expenses. The people you are sending the petition to are all aware of this rot from the IGP, to the Commissioner of police down to the Divisional Police Officer. The President has to do more in fighting corruption if this country is to move forward but does he have the WILL? However, that does not stop you from crying out as it may serve as a deterrent to them coming to your neighborhood for such arrest and unlawful detention..(Next time them go say ur area na bad market)...

They have the right to protest but it should be done in a civilized manner and not blocking roads preventing other citizens from going about their civic responsibilities.

Mr. Chief Mike Ogiadomhe or whatever, please note that we are already in a state of war, we don't need to go to Borno, Yobe or Nassarawa, the only difference is the bullets that are not flying yet and freedom of movement which is not totally free due to incessant police harassment on the road and extortion of innocent citizens. We are too rich a country for the condition we are right now......Please we are more englithened to swallow every pill of your lies, zip it up and tell your master to fight corruption, create enabling environment for job creation, construct good roads and fix those in bad states certainly not on the pages of news papers, provide good medical facility. Dishonorable Chinda Amadi has been flown abroad on tax payers fund for a minor injury he sustained, are there no hospitals here to take care of his injuries? Keep suffering from your mental delusion you all will soon be caught up..

Pretty sure the people in power seem not to understand the feelings of the people....The people are fed up, no road, no light, no water, no job, no food, no medical facility, young and eligible men cannot marry and grow their family, the frustration is running people crazy...the youths as a result of the artificial poverty created by the rulers have thrown all moral values to the dogs and are doing the unmentionable within and outside the country just to keep body and soul together, yet the rulers because we dont have leaders keep waging uneccesary war among themselves to hold on to power rather than resiging to be elder statesmen, they have become so entrapped in the pursuit of their selfish interest that they are all suffering from terminal hallucination, thinking that they are the smartest people, who can perpetually keep the youths in the background, while using those that are gullible as political thugs to achieve their selfish interest and disenfranchise the educated with lack of jobs. We take consolation in the fact that the only constant in life is CHANGE...Nigeria will not be the least.

Justosaus: Hmmmm. So doctors are now advertising? MDCN pls take note.

You know what REFERRAL" means...... I know it is different from advertising.

SCHUBBS DENTAL CLINICS (5 Douala Road
Apapa, Lagos,).... The problem will be taking care of at minimal cost.

Please I have been out of touch with Nigerian politics even though I am in Nigeria,can someone update me on what is causing the feud between Gov. Ameachi and the President? Please ensure you give me your source I will be grateful.

Desric: Who brought this fake story, and how did it get here?
Were they sacked only on Nairaland?
I think such joke is too expensive and the poster should arrested immediately.
This is a public media for God's sake and people carry whatever news they get here as true.
Please let try and be cautious, at least make this forum a credible one
I am so disappointed especially coming from this careless irresponsible acts of our youths.
What is Nigeria turning into for crying out loud?

What is your source that he has not been sacked? You and the OP who also failed to provide his source should be arrested immediately for misinforming the public.

I wish the drama from River State house of Assembly, to Soyinka's grammar conference and PEJ pay boy response to Nairaland keyboard warriors argument were for the good of the voiceless and Downthrowden....I will be back let me buy roasted plantain and groundnut for breakfast.

It is quite unfortunate....My problem lies in the fact that he has ruined the life of those children,i am more concerned how they will cope with this for the rest of their life..I know every man can be a father but not every man can be a Daddy....They can only wish they had a Daddy and Mummy.... Sobbing right now..

OP take heart! The day I passed through that spot because mile 2 axis was blocked,I wept bitterly. At least there should be some palliatives to ease the suffering of the people in that area.

Boko Haram and their sponsors or whatever are cowards,why attack defenseless and unarmed children? Fools..

alala dakosta: Please what planet are those nationales?

You better make your comment and don't follow me.....it's simply a typing error.

Hide my passport for what? What is my business with the smile or sh****t on the face of the immigration officers? I am a Nigerian simple and holds a green passport.I think kids have over taken NL....Like some one mentioned here it's inferiority complex that will make you hide your passport and flaunting your blue,red, gold or violet or whatever is just a show off,normal Nigerian mentality..

Tymally: I guess cutting his "awilo" style wil do him some gud 2, luk-wise

Just my thought,someone who is sick,I believe that hair is doing his brain no good...he needs water to touch down...You will be fine OJB.

Thank you all......THE LAND IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE....

Stuck in traffic

Still available.
