anonimi: Infrastructure of no pipe borne water supply to homes in both cities?
What did that propagandist liar Fashola do in Lagos for eight years with so much IGR squeezed from the masses that compares with what Jakande or Mobolaji-Johnson did in 4 and 8 years respectively
I have no problem with other states developing rather than Lagos being the only one which has functioning governors (even though IMHO Fashola was the last solid state governor). It is best in the long run for Nigeria if other states step up and even give Lagos a run for its money.
If people with money want to retire in Nigeria it is often only Abuja and Lagos they consider.. why? Infrastructure.
Congratulations to the people who got the awards. Can you imagine the service they would have done to get it? Who wouldn't be motivated to work in that organisation!!
djseanjohn77: My brother, if you ever have the opportunity to enter in their midst - you will not want the largesse to stop suddenly or at all. The heart of an average Nigerian is so corrupt inherently. The difference is the level of fear of God - that makes some people steal as much as they can, and others bite the cake bit by bit. Nigerians are driven by big lifestyle, statement influence and luxury that we can do anything to acquire it. And physical wealth is insatiable. That's why Nigerians who leave Nigeria in search of greener pasture still end up committing crimes that range from petty to record breaking frauds and drug peddling.
You are not better or different from those in the corridors of power, the difference is, you are here and they are there, you have not had the opportunity to test your resolve, everything in your head of your inherent trait is imagination. Real situation will test your OJUKOKORO.
First this is not true for all Nigerians and it is false generalisations. There are some Nigerians that would never do such because they rightly have the fear and spirit of GOD in them.
Second this is a human trait. History is filled with examples of where humans aided corruption.
Third I agree with you - it is when people are faced with the chance to have a lot of monies that you know their integrity. Similar to an ugly man claiming virginity because babes no dey chase am, a poor man should be careful to claim integrity when proper money never drop on his lap. May we never see what will make us lose our chances at eternal life.
He thinks his time in government wasn't a failure? He was part of a government that worsened every value in the nation. Economics, security, international acclaim etc
Yankee101: Release them before Nigerian trips get deployed to the entire region We may not be eeefetively fighting inside banditary due to political considerations but I can assure we we are capable and will fight any outside unwarranted and unwelcome aggression
Ask Sierra Leone and Liberia
Stupid of Nigeria to go to war over this. Diplomacy first and if this continues. Sanctions on CAS.
FreeStuffsNG: I am not sure that you comprehend the report.
The soldiers were not on combat mission and probably routine ECOWAS patrol with no previous hostile notice given by Burkina Faso because we are not at war with them. The impostor coupist is apprehensive for obvious reasons that Nigeria can dislodge him from power.
Burkina Faso will not dare face Nigeria and ECOWAS for obvious reasons. They have been at the magnanimity of ECOWAS countries on humanitarian grounds. Nigeria still bailed out Niger recently with about 400 tankers of fuel when they got stranded. Burkina Faso, Mali are impoverished and landlocked, and like Niger, still using sea ports of ECOWAS countries to recieve everything they depend on and even export.
If this report is true, I will not be surprised if our aircraft and soldiers are already home.
They don’t want the Benin experience from Nigeria and the rest of ECOWAS.
It's nice to know that ECOWAS is now taking the fight to them after Benin.
There doesn't need to be war for a nation to stop another nation from entering its airspace. That said, this is not good news. It means West Africa is divided into 2 blocs - ECOWAS (US backed) and CAS (Russia backed). CAS is looking for conflict with ECOWAS. This is similar to Europe pre WW1.
Jaychuks: What is wrong with some Yorubas? You can't make a complete sentence in a day without mentioning Igbos. What is wrong with you and your generation?
Where have you seen Igbos calling for military coup in Nigeria? The coup plotters arrested by Tinubu government did you see any Igbo in the list? Why are you people so afraid of Northerners that you can't face them but always dragging Igbo into your stupidity? Shame on you!
How are you sure the ethnic baiter is Yoruba? It could be a false flag or another ethnic group?
jiggyman: The women i have known and been with, if they have any atom of logical evidence and want to shame you, they do that immediately and not wait.
Natasha give it a rest.
Your very post suggests that you have not been with a woman like Natasha thus you do not have the experience. I have known a few that are strategic. They store every information and when the time is right, they spring it.
LagosOrigin: With all his failures and all the bloodbleds that's been going on in this country, I don't see anybody with his right senses voting for thing man and his wicked APC party in 2027.
Question is how many people are in their right senses? With poverty and entrenched stomach infrastructure in the land, what is the way forward?
