What is LSDP
Lagos State Debt Portfolio

Mscheew.

Fashola expired after the first four years.

Guerilla warfare sucks.

I remember one of the Chibok girls that escaped clearly stating that she recognized some of the men herding them into the trucks as LOCALS.

That to me tells the whole story.

The wise SWesterners are deserting the sinking APC.

Others should wake up.

DikeOha882: Apart from Nnewi, nowhere is better than Abiriba in Igbo land, just check out the Abiriba township stadium. I always doffffffff my cap for those guy. Abiriba kala okpo kala onwu.

You need to get around more often before making such categorical statements.

Of course Abiriba is nice but there are also many towns in Anambra just like it.

oboy3: the o.p asked for communities,y'all are mentioning nnewi,orlu,mbano e.t.c whiich are all L.Gs

Nnewi is a town.

I will support Peter Obi for president after GEJ.

Mr Chukwu prolly has brain Ebola.

That incompetent man should get out of that ministry.

AllahCock: Shekau. If Buhari can run so can he.

El Rufai. Only after he wins the WBC Heavy Weight belt.

Bola Tinubu. He needs several organ transplants including a new brain afterwards he is good to go.

Saraki. Daddy is long dead and Nigeria is bigger than Kwara!

Pat Utomi. It takes more than a hand gesticulator to be a President. He could not even manage a bank and that is what we expect of him most.

Momodu. Nigga Please!

Kwankwaso. Only if Almajiri Republic is formed.

Fashola. Lame Duck. He can't even nominate a Councillor in his ward for LGA position.

Amaechi. Yaba left is missing an inmate.

Collynzo16: Umuahia looks good, I have no idea why the man abandoned Aba.
Aba residents also share some blame with their habit of dropping refuse indiscriminately.
Abia needs Ihejirika

Any governor that neglects Aba is a joker.

Aba is the most important city in Abia and has the potentials to boost the state and indeed the region's economic status.

Look at what Obi/Obiano is doing to Onitsha, if you put a task force in place, and provide dumpsters in every vicinity. No one will dump refuse indiscriminately.

Please anyone who has time should scratch off T. A. Orji's face from that poster.

Ngwakwe: All these I too know some people exhibit online is worrisome .
Abians has never voted for T. A. Orji ever, it has always been arranged in Abuja.
Even Orji Kalu told T.A his estranged godson not to recontest then in 2011 because of his poor record and loss of touch with the people.
The problem of Abia State especially Aba is Ngwa-phobia and na for there the State go die.
I pray and cry make God touch the NASS to approve the creation of Aba State to help end this misery once and for all time.

Abians will continue to suffer if they do not let go of such primitive clannishness and vote for the right person to rescue that state from the abyss.

Abia has witnessed 16 years of terrible governance and anymore of such will render the state moribund.

I know of people who have permanently relocated their businesses because of poor infrastructure and security(has improved).

I feel very happy anytime i see this type of thread on Abia state, they need all the exposure.

Good painting but you made OBJ handsome and therefore almost unrecognizable.

I prefer debating on the worst governors.

APC - dragging Nigeria into a debt burden.

Traffic lockdown still persists in Owerri.

When everything is about showmanship, we make grave mistakes.

Kudos to them.

superstar1: State is artificial division, the people, the race, the thnicity remains yorubas -- from ore to saki, igbomina to lagos -- we are all oduduwa descendants.

As much as i do not have a stake in sambisa forest or red mud, likewise none has a stake in ours.

You are soooo desperately trying to claim Lagos.

Every SWesterner is from Lagos.

superstar1: Laughing in Efik and Lagos is the Atlantic portion of alaigbo?

Where is the technical expertise and skills that is not showing in your land and not stopping the daily movement of able bodied men in Young shall Grow to our region?

I repeat, our best brains remain our soil, while your best are in divine assignment --- assisting to build our economy.

Why then did you leave Osun and go to Lagos?

Are you from Lagos state?


People tend to migrate where there is less competition and more room for there trade/services.

Eg Traditional medicine sellers from let's say Osun will not migrate to Ondo because there is already a glut of that trade, but will rather go to Imo state.

The variety of services provided by SEasterners in other parts of country simply shows the abundance of expertise, whether you call it best brains.

superstar1: Get offended over issues such as this. Funny you, are you a learner on NL.

The fact remains, the pure water sellers, gala sellers in traffic, etc remain SEasterners. I will also reiterate, our best brains remain our land, while the dregs on the lowest part of our societal ladder, will be found in your land. Your best brains are under going tutelage on our land. Copy that.

Your sudden outburst of "curses" suggest otherwise.

I was simply trying to point out facts.

In any case, it's alright for you to let out the steam.


Like I said, you cannot really offer what you do not have.
The abundance of skilled manpower and expertise in the SE, makes it difficult for someone from Adoekiti or Oshogbo for instance to fit in.

I mean apart from the aforementioned ( traditional medicine, taxi driving perhaps tailoring), they cannot compete.
There is nothing wrong with driving a taxi or selling medicine(unless it kills) because it is an honest way to make a living much better than taking to crime.

Most Igbo in the SW are in Lagos, a city which also attracts just as much immigrants from Oshogbo, Ekiti, Ondo etc, therefore, I see no big deal.

I do not understand why most projects from APC governors have this seedy look.
Fashola that previously stood out seems to have also joined the bandwagon.

superstar1: So it is the 100 metre dash gala selling people, that have the requisite skills. i am laughing in kamikaze. The Yazidis have the requisite skills that is why they are emigrating to Kurdistan?

Bros, your land is cursed and does not have anything to offer, that is why you are emigrating to that land of prosperity, Shikena. Your best brains are in our land and our worst are in yours. Dont you understand? This is simple logic.

You don't have to get angry at the truth.

All SE towns are home to many traditional medicine practitioners from the SW.

I even forgot to mention, PH taxi driving business is almost monopolised by the SW.

No need to get offended about people making an honest living(apart from perhaps the patent agbo sellers).

A beg wetin be MK Dons
Manure is dead.

vanbonattel: For the four hours I spent at the front of Icc this evening while coming back from my maternal parents house.

Thank goodness you have pictures.

I simply pointed a huge flaw and came under attack as a Rochas hater by people who have absolutely no idea what is happening in Owerri.

TabletMan: Its obvious u don't know owerri or the place where this ICC is sited.
On a normal day, there is always a traffic gridlock on that road(warehouse).
I am not in owerri now but I am dead sure that traffic on that road will be like mad.
The pix you're showing as the road that leads to the ICC is the road to freedom square.
Check the third pix and see that the ICC is by the side of the road, check am wella, u will see a white car, that's the front of the ICC .

Paragonova: @ op, do you stay in Owerri?
Witness the traffic gridlock caused by locating centre of such magnitude @ an important junction and the multiple effects of such a decision to cut off this road
Bank Road is as important as wethral and douglas roads
Rochas erred in siting thx centre here and hosting such an event which brings thousands together knowing Owerri is more of a two way route in and out.
Five days of untold hardship.. Rochas guffed! See Old men and women trekking and lamenting, civil servants lamenting and even the lawyers themselves suffering too.. Too bad

It is good I also have unbiased witnesses.

superstar1: Have you seen people from Osogbo and iwo migrating to your region because they do not have a beautiful landscape? Think through that and give the world an answer.

I repeat, you are being penny wise and pound foolish.

They do not have the requisite skills to compete and thus do not have much to offer.

Those who do, definitely migrate eg traditional medicine practitioners(thriving), tailors(endangered and thinning) etc.

ChrisOD: Again you are right. Raising taxes and levies on the wealthy to generate IGR should be accompanied by stricter enforcement of anti-corruption measures.

Still on pop, the SE (especially cities; most villages are quite empty due to migration) is thickly populated, meaning high density in a small space. High density is not always = to high overall population

Definitely not relative to other zones and definitely not in Anambra or Imo states.

Many towns(rural and urban) are witnessing a surge in population.

Fashola and scrappy projects.

This man used to be more coordinated than this.

Just take a look at the exposed wooden planks in a gas station. No plans for fire prevention.

APC witches will soon say I like criticising, but this is shoddy.

Blockus:



And we did it without a Single Doctor..



FHUCK the NMA, Nigerian Doctors and their Sponsors THE APC..



GEJ till the Nigerian Flag changes to Yellow White Yellow..

#NIGERIANS.. We dont Die, We multiply.

You are incredibly stewpid.

Dr adadevoh that gave her life is a robot right?

Do you know that two doctors were also among those that recovered?

Do you also know that the bulk of the medical personnel that volunteered for training in Ebola patient management were resident doctors?

And you also forgot that First consultant is a private hospital run by the same doctors you deride.

RareDiamond: YOUR BACKWARD ENUGU SHOULD NOT BE BROUGHT TO OUR DISCUSSION. IMO STATE IS THE IGBO HEARTLAND. WAWA IGALA BOYS LIKE YOU SHOULD KEEP OFF !!! THE ROADS LEADING TO THE IMO INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CENTER WHERE THE NBA CONFERENCE IS HOLDING WAS CLOSED BY THE GOVERNMENT DUE TO THE SECURITY SITUATION IN THE COUNTRY. IF NOT FOR THE CLOSURE OF THE ROADS, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE ROADS IN THE IMO ICC AREA ARE WIDE BEAUTIFULLY DUALIZED ROADS AND THE AREA IS NOT WELL POPULATED

Lol!
I am not even from Enugu state and it is obvious you do not live in Owerri.

Please ask anyone who lives in Owerri the traffic situation.

Little winder we get the kind of governance we deserve.

Do you not see the aim of the ICC is defeated if traffic in the heart of Owerri has to be closed each time dignitaries use it.

ikp4succes: i knw some Nigerians who would actually think like that, maybe he meant to track bombs in the car or person before detonation.. shey u get.

OK
Maybe his choice of words conveyed a totally different meaning.

This aspect of Sullivan's governance is what irks me.

I guess no one is perfect but isn't this petty.

4Play: I agree that Nigerians - whether in Govt or not -are looking for simple solutions. However, this anecdote about a Nigerian asking for equipment that effectively reads minds sounds completely fabricated.

It doesn't just sound fabricated it is belittling and incredibly stewpid.

The person perhaps was just trying to be sarcastic and the Brit swallowed everything.

ketoprofen: Op, so what do u want us or the lawyers to do now?
After one week, everything goes back to normal.
Let's leave politics from this, rochas will come and go, imo state remains.

It is not about lawyers.

Each time that ICC is in use, Owerri literally grinds to a halt.

RareDiamond: THE Conference center in Enugu and Onitsha are poorly sited also. Imo state have good and beautiful road network. If Lagos, Abuja, Enugu, Onitsha and PH host a conference of this magnitude their would be hold up. If the conference center in Victoria Island Lagos host half of this NBA conference, the whole of V.I, Ikoyi, Lekki, CMS, Obalende, Onikan, Lagos Island would be completely blocked.

THE ROADS LEADING TO THE IMO INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CENTER WHERE THE NBA CONFERENCE IS HOLDING WAS CLOSED BY THE GOVERNMENT DUE TO THE SECURITY SITUATION IN THE COUNTRY. IF NOT FOR THE CLOSURE OF THE ROADS, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE ROADS IN THE IMO ICC AREA ARE WIDE BEAUTIFULLY DUALIZED ROADS AND THE AREA IS NOT WELL POPULATED

The traffic problem has persisted even today.

Remember it is an ICC that is meant to host different dignitaries from time to time, are you saying each time it is used then Owerri will shut down.
Two wrongs do not make a right.
The Enugu ICC is still better positioned because there are many alternate routes, unlike Owerri.

I do not know why a glaring honest observation is seen as an affront to Rochas.
