I thought rust was toxic to lions.

What is a lion doing in shagamu.

A trailer load of unadulterated crap.

Since when did please substitute America with supporter of APC.

Well written article.
It simply shows that Tinubu and successor Fashola under APC have failed Lagosians.

Good genetics
Good brains
Good environment

I'm afraid of collateral damage.

But it is often inevitable.

So we are all in a matrix and Musiwa has come to deliver us.

Sounds like frank Schizophrenia to me.

victorVIC1: Trust me @ op...This list is incomplete without Katsina

We are talking about development not desolation.

django1: Do you know that some of the most expensive estates in the country are in the city? You have not been to Ibadan woman.

You are joking right?

TribalEAST: Asaba should be compared to the smallest local governmebt in Ibadan because[b] ibadan alone is bigger than delta state and bayelsa put together.[/b] ibadan alone has 2 federal higher institutions and several private universities, amusement park, zoo, first TV station, 3 shoprite complexes(one of which is their biggest outlet in africa) etc. It's silly comparing a town that just started developing with a city which has been in existence before the white men came, which if made a state, will produce 6 capitals the size of asaba.

You must have made F9 in Geography.

Tinubu is just another Nyako in the making.

I must commend GEJ and the Agric minister, that is one of the sectors experiencing positive strides.

Even Ibadan waters look rusty.

omonnakoda: Guy You can tell them to shut up whan you get home. There is no need for childish tantrums here.I speak with facts and evidence

Look at the attached colonial report;
http://libsysdigi.library.illinois.edu/ilharvest/Africana/Books2011-05/3064634/3064634_1898_lagos/3064634_1898_lagos_opt.pdf
go to page 4 of the report and see the Customs duties being collected in 1897.Go to page 7 to check import values £4million in 5 years and check the value of £4million 120 years ago



In
1900 £4million would be worth £400 million today = 100 billion Naira
http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/bills/article-1633409/Historic-inflation-calculator-value-money-changed-1900.html
and I am sure trade did not stand still so don't give us this tired line of OIL money.

Now go to page 11 of the same report and see what it says about SHIPPING; In 1898 408 Steamers with a tonnage of 410000 tonnes and a crew numbering 15620 were REGISTERED AT THE PORT OF LAGOS not the port of Ibaka or Onitsha!! FACTS FACTS FACTS
You see I present FACTS not akpu inspired village rumours from the "ilo"
Why did they not build a port in Ibaka then. Stop deceiving yourself. The Port has paid more to the FG than the FG has given to Lagos and is MORE VALUABLE than oil. The Port was built by the British and expanded by the FG have you asked who paid for the BIAFRAN WAR or pain for the £20 bonanza given to Ibos after the war??

Lagos is a Cash Cow for Nigeria contributing to the COMMONWEALTH rather than receiving and a major Financier of the Biafra POLICE ACTION and the £20 BONANZA to the AMNESTIED BIAFRANS

What has this topic got to do with Biafra and 20 pounds?

All these illiterates shouting that cows are not what should be brought back, should shut it.

How else does conflict escalate if not from such incidents.

For want of stolen cows accusations will start to fly and before you know it inter village/ethnic clashes will ensue leading to loss of lives.

Besides those cows are expensive and a source of livelihood for many.

A full grown cow goes for up to N150k down south, multiply that by 218 that gives you N32.7 million, which is is a lot of money esp for the rearers.

Good riddance

That is like flogging a dead horse

Cry me a river losers!

APC just makes me sick

This is so fishy.

Perhaps they can no longer keep track of the impostor parents, and decided to opt out.

Nyako thought he was invincible when he was running his terrorist mouth up and down.


Now he is on his way to jail, which is where many fellow supporters of APC will be joining him soon.

Kudos to the house members for upholding democracy by sacking the extremist.

Is sharia law binding on non Muslims?

Should religious laws superceed that of the state in a secular country?

sublimes: @Op, Yenagoa should come first on that list. Everything is damn expensive in that town.

Yenogoa is relatively expensive but definitely not first on the list.

Abuja

This comes as no surprise, Abuja is an expensive city even by world standards.
Politicians who have made Abuja their abode have an unending stash that drive up prices.
With record breaking real estate costs. A detached 6 bedroom duplex in Maitama or Asokoro goes for anything from 500 million to 1 billion naira!! (Google is your friend). Food is more affordable, so far it is not processed.
Of course there are less expensive suburbs but you have to endure longer commutes to the city centre.


Port Harcourt

Being Nigeria's oil capital has it's downsides.
PH is expensive, infact it is arguably on average more expensive than Abuja.
It has a significant number of upper middle class from the oil sector and other walks of life.
Food is particularly overpriced in PH and so is decent accommodation.
What of private schools in PH, they will certainly make you consider the number of children you want to have.


Lagos

The nation's economic capital is what you want it to be for you in terms of cost.
However, if you want comfort and security in the form of accommodation, you will have to pay very dearly.
Especially if you work on the island. A room, parlour and Kitchen in Ikoyi, VI or Lekki can range from 400 to 600k per annum. Of course most people are left no choice than to endure the long commute to work and back.
Those working on the mainland have cheaper options to explore.
Lagos however, has the advantage of availability of cheaper consumer goods from clothing, household components to cars.
But the stress does come at a price.


Owerri

This may come as a surprise but Owerri's unique location in the SE heartland has made it a popular destination. This has driven up the cost of living.
A 3 bedroom flat goes for an average of 30k a month.
Food is more expensive relative to other SE cities. Even with the rate of new hotels being built, hotel rooms are still expensive. And the cost of labour in this town is high.



Uyo

This blossoming city, has grown tremendously in a short time and so has the cost of living.
Real estate prices have shot up, and cost of transport has also gone up.
If you are young and looking to save money in Uyo, you just have to cook your food.
The good side is that you actually get a higher quality of life at a relatively OK cost.


Calabar

This former capital of Nigeria continues to attract people with its serene environment and friendly residents.
But this does not come cheap. Calabar's conformity drives up cost.
In December Calabar goes up higher on the list as thousands flood in for the famous carnival.


Warri

This city is quite similar to PH
The presence of the refinery/oil sector has made the cost of living here well above other Nigerian cities.


Enugu

This city is experiencing a real estate boom and what many residents took for granted in terms of rent, is beginning to bite. Enugu's improved road network, security and international airport together with its regional status, continues to attract wealthy retirees and returnees. This has slowly started driving up prices.
Labour and food are still relatively affordable.

Vansnickers: Apologize to them for what?!

Did they apologize to the people of the SS that they killed for not joining their war?

Ibos can go to hell.

Who have you been hanging out with

You sound so twisted.

Those drugs are especially harmful to the liver and kidneys and should be avoided.

shymexx: Really and truly, don't you lot get tired of the useless hyperbole you attach to lack of achievement, with the idi.otic "largest/biggest/first/highest in Africa crap?" Especially when there might even be bigger ones in North, East, or South Africa? And why the need to always make yourselves feel good by even comparing your medieval non-achievements with little countries with no resources anyway? I guess it has to do with primeval ultra patriotism/nationalism - yet you vehemently reject a more befitting title as the most populated cesspit on the same continent - hysterical.

I just saw a documentary Akon did about "lighting up Africa" and it's shocking that in 2014, about 85% of sub-saharan Africa still lacks stable electricity, and over 60% still has no access to clean water. Yet you think that the whole continent isn't a cesspit, no?

Anyway, it's not the largest in Africa, it's the largest in the solar system - if that will make you sleep well at night.

I didn't see you go gaga when that two room clinic opened by Fashola was labelled the first cardiorenal centre in Africa.

OrlandoOwoh: I'm speaking from experience.

In other words seeds of hatred were implanted in you by your"Igbo" parents?

OrlandoOwoh: Igbo parents should stop planting the seed of hatred in their children.

Pls can you explain.
Are you an Igbo parent?
Have you been planting the seed of hatred in your children?

Evergreen123: the only lie the critic gave was accreditation of medical students: esucom has graduated 3 sets now but that breakthrough was not attributed to Sullivan, the students had described how Sullivan was dulling the process till interventions of external factors became the last resort.
Same way upgrading the salaries of state health workers was hell.
I don't know what that dude called Sullivan smokes.
.
My own concern about these tnz lies in the funds .
Except for the Secretariat, this man has not funded shishi in Enugu state, all these ppl here talking about Enugu roads know that Enugu state govt did not fund them, Sullivan did not even source for the funds (but his predecessor,call him a criminal, he did it).
The question here is, what did Sullivan do with the so-called 'meagre' #90b naira accruing to Enugu state govt?
Road u no fund, education u no fund,public health sector collapsed ( go to rural LGAs),
rural devt........
8 years! and some ppl want me to rely on the 'low allocation ' mantra.
All his supporters do here is release articles, how does it prove anything on ground?

I am kind of confused, about the road projects, who funded them?

I know that when it comes to health he messed up, he refused to implement CONMESS which led to very long doctors' strike etc.

Actually, Sullivan has a lot of shortcomings, (I think rural Enugu is still neglected) but he is a huge improvement when compared to his predecessor.

What he has done is make people more aware and demanding of good governance, a spirit that was snuffed out by Chimaroke and in some other states where people have acclimatised to bad governance.

This is a good thing because anyone who replaces him will be under pressure to even do better, just like Obiano vs Obi, unlike T. A. Orji for eg where any mediocre will be hailed.
