mmmustapha: Dis city is a village compare with port hercourt or kaduna

You have a very skewed conception of what a good city is.
A city is not necessarily a contraption of over populated settlements with haphazard buildings.

tawa89: why are you this hateful and tribal? Why good things dey pepper you for body ni? Why is it that you hate it when good things are happening in other parts of the country? This is beyond politics and tribalism. This is pure hatred for Nigeria. you are pissed that other parts of Nigeria are developing? Let me educate you a little . Lagos has been there even before the 'word' Nigeria was muted. Lagos has enjoyed special priviledges even before our independence. Lagos was federal colony . Lagos was capital territory for more dan 30 yrs. Lagos was the seat of power in Nigeria. How can you compare Lagos that has been everything in Nigeria with Uyo that has been nothing? One was a former colony, former capital and economic hub of Nigeria while the other was a former 'village' . If e dy pain cos of d developmental strides in Akwa Ibom kindly trek down to 3rd mainland bridge and do the needful.

Intense and well delivered.

Fasole!

A country puts more emphasis on tribe than merit can never work.
- A country that will rather admit someone with a score of 2 and leave another with a score of 130 is headed for destruction.
- A country that will rather recruit illiterates into its armed forces for uniformity sake can never work
-A country that deports its citizens can never work.
-A country whose states cannot employ non indegenes is just a joke.

like he Fashola had a choice?
Now he knows better not to keep shooting himself on the foot

ideye clueless

goal!!!!!

goa l

musiwa1c: if you are doing this, think, edo will give up asaba to igbos, that will never happen the igbo are the immigrate. they have a choice to remain or leave the place and return to east. ask ban ki moon

even if they break up nigeria, the right of people choice to live where they want most be respected.

That's some potent ish your smoking.

which PH?

orji T.A. should be in the Guinness book of records for the world's, worst governor of all times.

It is all rochas' fault.
He joined APC and now Imo people are smelling Yoruoba Yoruoba, thereby attracting their Fulani masters to business as usual.

Tundeolaniyi: Igbo are like 99% Christians that is they bear more of English names. I got to know about it when first got to the east. I have even been paying some guys to teach ibo language because it will help to know whats up. I have learned some. They made caricature of my name 'Olaniyi' initially, they said that it meant 'wasted person' in ibo language. Since then I don't usually say it openly.

Sorry bro

Tundeolaniyi: Am yoruba full blooded. Is what you mean by civilization the mud houses dotting the entire landscape of yorubaland? Let the truth be told. Remove lagos from SW, then yorubaland becomes leprous, nobody will not have anything to associate with because it will only epitomize poverty and plague. The only reason people comes to SW is because of lagos, we all know that lagos is not the making of yorubas. Let me tell you, a typical yoruba city like ibadan, abeokuta, ado ekiti, osogbo is so so backward, poverty stricken, no investment, no job. Am sorry I have to say this truth. All these yoruba cities I mentioned cannot stand side by side with places as Onitsha, Enugu, Owerri, Calabar, Akwaibo even Yenogoa. My problem is that we yorubas are always okay with little the government and individuals have done, that is why no new thing is coming except for the mud houses built 50yrs ago.

The 'sad' truth

OP 'cause she comes from a dog eating background you have to rub it in by bringing this to the front page

Tundeolaniyi: Exactly my worry with my people. Ado Ekiti is my state capital but I can't possible and confidently say it my branch here openly. Most times I just tell people am from Lagos just for convenience.

Thanks for being honest

0monnakoda: I really don't think many Ibos understand how much this issue has provoked the Yoruba. Basically many Yorubas now believe the Ibo are telling us we are prepared to contend Lagos with you and you cannot do anything about it. The consequences will be devastating . I wonder why these guys like to score own goals?

I don't get you really.
History tells me Lagos is the former capital of Nigeria and till today maintains heavy federal government presence.
So it's very myopic of you to say people are trying to claim it.
90% or more of the basic infrastructure was done by the FG so what's your point.
The state govt is basically maintaining and upgrading some.
You don't see anyone discussing Oshuogbo or adoekiti.
You are the one who needs to remove the scales in your brain and reason well.

goodslayer: burst your lies once more damn more poor peeps. Get your a55 to southeast hinterland and see first class poverty. Help shared relieve materials during the last flood disater in alaigbo and i see the whole igboid follies of emptiness. Tell me which south west state is poorer than ebonyi state. How many southwest state has slum worst than opoko, woliwo, akunnie, awada et al. Dont just go there with me. Anambra with all their mouth cant boast of a single airport you have to fly into the state through enugu isnt that a disgrace.

I believe he was just quoting national statistics.
Why all the ado

CyberG: I live in a big city here and there are still slums! Now that is bring realistic but you say ibo land is filled with gold and silver like paradise and no slums? Well, go back to your land while we transform our country one slum at a time!

I don't and have never lived in Lagos.

Everyday some peeps come here and yap all day long about some backward overcrowded slum called Lagos.
I wonder what Parisians and Singaporeans will then do?

25Calibre: She is not a who*re, as a matter of fact, it's advisable for every guy to use same method.

It helps test loyalty and endurance and weeds out the leeches/gold-diggers.

Red label yarns

NO Nigerian girl will ever say no to a range rover.
I think the bast*** tagged to children born out of wedlock should be dropped as it is not out of their making.

[quote author=Jaidey-one][b]if you are hell bent on showcasing your cultural heritage at every given time then by all means get rid of your non-cultural clothes, U can trek to work or better still ride a donkey. We are quick ti embrace planes, cars, computers and mobile phones but we still feel dressing to work the western way is not African. [/b]Its African. Its the global trend and it should be embraced. There should be dress codes for public officials and its the norm all over the world. Take a look at pictures from AU summits and tell me how many countries are trying to showcase their cultural heritage. The same public officials showcasing the so called cultural heritage wear agbada and launder our money into foreign bank accounts. Why should doctors, lawyers, bankers, etc wear suits and western clothings when the public officials are exempted? Shouldn't we cease every given opportunity to show case our cultural heritage Or are these the only people that should be mentally enslaved like u claim?

Suits and ties are no longer western culture, just the same way English is now a global language. Its either we embrace civilization or we get left behind while embracing our cultural heritage.[/quote]U are utterly moronic by your very stupid analogy of equating trekking to being African.

Kelechi2020: i think we need more information on this stuff.
we nairalanders are too educated to be feed with cooked u stories that are not backed by fact
oh this ammounts to gutter journalism

I tire oh.

psychologist: The real bitter truth! If football were 2
be academic institutions in Nigeria.
ARSENAL=UNILORIN: where the students work
hard thru out the year bt fail to succeed. MAN-CITY=
OOSU: where the students purchase all expensive
items nd live large bt are neva interested in their
primary assignment. LIVERPOOL= OAU-IFE: where
the students are very much proud of the academic
achievements of their grandfathers. MAN-
U = UNIBEN: where students dont perform well in
class except their final exams nd achieve gud
results. CHELSEA = UNILAG: where students fail nd
put the blame on their VC, after which the govt will
intervene 2 find a new VC 4 d skul evry year. REAL-
MADRID = AAU where students think they perform
best and keep beefing the best students of other
skuls. Finally, BARCA = UNIOSUN where students
work hard,perform well in class and achieve best
result in the whole country. Greatest Nigerian
Students!!!!

Who is this child?

All Nigerian universities especially OAU Ife are ****ed up.
Heard they teach in Yoruba there.

Does anyone have an update on the airport road and new secretariat?

This is a harmless creature that should have been left to go its way.
There are better sources of protein out their.
Pythons are mostly kept as pet not barbarically cut up in this manner.

I really feel for Yorubas.
For a hardworking and focused group of people to come to the nations former capital and develop it, taking up all the choice areas and leaving the slums for them.
It think that really sucks.
I mean the type that will make u want to reach out for a bottle of rat poison and put yourself out of misery like the custom dictates.
I guess the major disturbance is that tout-ism is fast becoming obsolete and giving way to more acceptable sources of income and they can't compete.
I really wonder why they gloat over other people's hard work in a country's capital albeit former.

I wonder why no other portion of their land is developed.
I mean why is adoekiti desolate and ibadan a pitiable scenery of dilapidated rusted brown roofs begging for civilisation.
Why is Oshougbo gripped by the tenets of a false native religion.

How come only Lagos saw the 'light'?
Could it be that a progressive group of people found it humane to develop and share their forward thinking nature.
I hope what happened to most of Africa when the Europeans left will not happen to Lagos.
I pray the buildings will not stagnate and turn rusty like the buildings in their true native towns.
I hope their northern masters will not turn every street corner into minarets like Ilorin.

Whatever happens the property of the progressives which are in the majority will not be touched.
