Census is surely NOT Nigeria's priority right now please.

You don't understand

Do we need an announcement of the announcement of plan to carry out an idea of attacking and defeating BK?
It's ridiculous for the army to fill the airwaves all the time with their supposed plan of action while nothing concrete actually gets done by way of improving security.

Lucky chap!
The SARS madness took attention of his heist... But we will do well to keep him in the news... This man is the father of all looters... At least, his mates will loot and retire to rest, his own is totally different! Dude has been sucking at Lagos states finances since 1999 non-stop! You can't meet a more ruthless theif anywhere in the world... And we have some educated serfs running from pillar to post trying to project him as the savior we have been waiting for..

Agree totally!

Guy wetin I do you you should be more worried about ikepeazu and abia,their lives matter

Tinubu wants to be president of Nigeria.

candidtalk:
Are you insane. How can someone who has shown he thinks Igbos are the most pathetic major ethnic group in Nigeria pretend to be Igbo?

You guys and paranoia are 5 and 6.

Keep "shining" the light on Tinubu while ignoring your worthless leaders in the SE that have made the region a place young Igbos want to leave and never return to once they have experienced the SW, North, SS etal.

Joke is on you for not seeing the OP is sick and needs help. One topic or so on Tinubu and Yorubas is okay now and then. To devote his whole Nairaland persona towards discussing Tinubu and the SW 24/7 shows the OP is sick.

There are many Igbos doing this as well. Now show me one Yoruba doing the opposite on NL. One alone will do Mr.Reprobate. Guy, look at your fellow Igbo's topic history and come back to talk.

If not that you Igbos are used to defending your own blindly you will see OP and most Igbos doing what is seen below need help. Una no get una own wahala to focus on Tinubu and SW matter 24/7 and 365 days a year?

Ok, since you're unable to offer any meaningful defense for Tinubu, except call the OP names, and rain insults, it means that you definitely have not got the message yet, so occasional message about the criminal Tinubu is just not enough.

Changing the discussion to Igbos, and Igbo land is the same lame tactic employed by monthly paid Tinubu defenders here on NL. Do you belong to the group?

candidtalk:
@OP.

You and other Igbos are shameless and so reckless the way you display obsession for everything Yoruba while having no interest in your State and region of origin.

Not a crime to discuss Tinubu and Yoruba topics now and then because we are all Nigerians. Yet I crave the indulgence of the forum to view the topics this OP has created here.

https://www.nairaland.com/ruudvannisteroy/topics

Virtually all Tinubu and Yoruba-centered with the odd rant at Buhari and/or the North. Next to nothing said about his ala Igbo State and region of origin even as we know they have massive problems of misrule and maladministration.

Nothing about uplifting ala Igbo at all despite being Igbo himself. It is as if him and other Igbos don't care about the SE as long as they can have a say and relevance in Yoruba issues.

This is the problem. It is unhealthy. Igbos, this is no way forward. You are the only major ethnic group of Nigeria that is a disgrace because of confused sense of belonging and identity.

You guys will be extinct and absorbed into Yoruba, Hausa and Fulani ethnic groups in the near future the way your confused and identity-challenged youths are going. Hausaman knows he is Hausa. Edo man knows he is Edo. Ijaw man is Ijaw and not confused. Only Igbos are lost and with a bleak future that may see them lose langauage, culture and social orientation to others.


It is inevitable because most Igbos, with how they are obsessed about the affairs of others, show they care little for Igboland and her future survival.

They leave SE and never come back. They even become involved in becoming more Yoruba than Yorubas as this OP is showing merely because he is possibly a Lagos Igbo.

Yorubas never lose their identity and sense of belonging wherever they end up. Igbos do and this is what will ultimately ensure Igbos will be extinct in the next 100 years.

Tragic when one thinks of the fake Biafra noise Igbos are always disturbing other Nigerians with. Is there a single Yoruba, even those born and raised in the SE, that shows online obsession with discussing Igboland and Igbo folks/leaders 24/7 as countless Igbos, like this OP, show an obsession with Yorubas in various internet forums and discusssion blogs daily?

Attacking the OP, changing the topic, and making unrelated noise is a childish tactics we all learned in kindergarten.

Pretend to be Igbo all you want, nobody is falling for it.

Good job OP, shine more light on Tinubu and sanitize the cancer of his corruption.

lol @ village ipob crook.

You are a crook, a corrupt element and everything about you is lies, deception and crookedness.

Too much pain?
The truth hurts sometimes.

Why has nobody complained that it's only Hausa boys that are allowed into almajiri system?

There is no effort to expand federal character to include Igbos, Efiks, Ijaws. Is that fair?

How is it a crime if I focus my primary attention to self development and that of my kins men?
You despise me and still want me to carry you along by showing you how I make a living out of what I do be it legal or illegal, no that can't be possible. Igbos have got an ideology they run with "brother is always brother" yes disagreement may ensue between them time to time but that ideology still remains with a average igbo man. This issue of Igbo apprenticeship system is what that region has used to pick up themselves from the ruin the govt made in that region during the massacre and total drawdown of human capital and development in that region during the unholy civil war which they call it.. They have come together unconsciously and have developed themselves in trades which they know how to do best. How else would you want me to bring in a total tribe man who doesn't maybe share in my ideology about life and how I perceive things from home to run a business in apprenticeship successfully? That a daunting task which even other tribes would not condole with if they happen to be in the igbo man shoe.. The igbo only have themselves to look out for themselves and that exactly what they've been doing and I pray they continue doing.. And about coming to a society and dominating it abeg see me see problem ooo. Shey na them tell the host community not to see possibility before he arrived that isn't a point.

Good point.
You can't force one to belong to a family, clan, or even tribe.

First, they raid, kill, and take over the area. Then they change the name of the town to a more Islamic name, then they change the law to reflect their poor understanding of Islamic laws.
And after all this , Buhari still tolerates and even helps them, because they are from Niger republic, his hometown.

spendoon:
your hate for the north eh, but you should try and understand that although am also from the north I value my brothers from the south than anyone from any country aside naija, but the rail from kano to niger will be of huge economic importance because as it is Nigeria and Benin republic are competing on trying to convince the country to use their ports and Benin republic is clearly winning, but with this rail it's going to be a game changer, and may I remind you that with such in place the old glory of kano will be restored as it will be a place of trans sahaliain trade which will have an impact in the countrys economy.

If patronage of the port is the issue here, then common sense tells you that updating the eastern railway system first is the better so that eastern and western ports can be used effectively.

pandax:
Why are they replacing Western Line narrow gauge from Lagos to Kano via Ibadan; and rehabilitating the Eastern Line narrow gauge from PH to Maiduguri via Enugu?. To even make matter worse its single line

Amaechi I am not impressed at all. Taking us back to 1945

The countries you mentioned using narrow gauge built them in 20th century and none of them will build narrow gauge in this 21st century

Good point.
Also, have you wondered why the projects in the east are PPP, 'costing the government no money ', but guaranteed to enslave the people for years to come.
Remember, despite all the bridges built in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria, the second Niger bridge at Onitsha is probably the only PPP.

Rossinky:
Unfair criticism. The Port Harcourt - Maiduguri line is being rehabilitated, as there is actually an old line there, albeit narrow gauge. The Lagos-Ibadan line etc are brand new lines, and so had to be built standard gauge in line with modern convention.

Narrow gauge lines are still operated all over the world, and it would have constituted gross wastage of public funds to abandon the current Port-Harcourt - Maiduguri line to build a standard gauge line at perhaps triple the price.

In fact, ''In some countries, narrow gauge is the standard; Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan, New Zealand, South Africa, and the Australian states of Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania..''

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrow-gauge_railway

I see now, you have been busy posting false information on this topic all day, not sure what is your motivation.

If narrow gauge is acceptable, why is government borrowing billions to update the Lagos Kano to standard gauge?
Why not complete the national lines from east to north, and west to north before going to extend the railway line into Niger republic?

Answer the question, or simply shut it!

MosheDayan:
am not sure about that bruh

Not sure about what?
That PH is in the east? Ignorance is a disease bro, take care of it, and come back later.

Rossinky:
You are WRONG.

The contract for this line has been awarded over 3 months ago to CCNC.

How can the FG ''approve'' a project at a 3.2 billion dollar cost if it is not budgeted, a contractor has not been identified, and a contract awarded?

Some of you are just dense.

Oh, and there is no ''Niger republic project'', you lying devil.

That line ends at the Nigerian border AS EXPLAINED REPEATEDLY BY THE GOVT.

Mardi, Maradi, Maradi, my friend is Niger republic. Call it whatever you like, it's in Niger republic, not in Republic of Nigeria!
Having a rail line from Kano to Katsina is already a non-viable economic endeavor, but going to borrow almost $2 B to extend it to a Niger republic city if Maradi is not only an economic treason, but a political crime committed against all Nigerians who suffer, because of the non functional eastern railway corridor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrow-gauge_railway

Agent of misinformation!

Lagos-Kano line was also narrow gauge. If it was so good, why is the government mortgaging our future borrowing to upgrade it to standard?

Approved is not budgeted, financed, contract awarded, or even construction started.
Meanwhile, the railway to Niger republic will be completed sooner.
'Approved' is meant to divert attention from the Niger republic project.

sammysneh:
it looks like one

E pain am for heart.

Everyone knows that Buhari and his rubber stamp Senate initiate and pass worthless bills all the time.

Instead of providing good leadership for Nigerians, Buhari wakes up every morning looking for someone to congratulate, wish speedy recovery, say happy birthday.

Buhari understands your pain, but wants you to suffer a little more, because you are not from Niger republic.

So these people want any person sexually harassed and victimized by the prof to come testify PUBLICLY?

Jokers!!!

Tribalistic back stabbers coming forward one by one!

This man is being administered experimental drugs to save his life whilst he'd been preaching bleach and snake-oil (no offence Lalasticlala) for the past 9 months.

Good point.

Just suspected, they are not even sure.

But IPOB never carries any weapons, never does violence and engages in peaceful protests and demonstrations according to the laws.

They should look at the known bearers of arms, herdsmen, bandits, boko boys.

The same false news men who had previously claimed IPOB attacked Fulani herdsmen in PH?

This governor is really naive not knowing that Buhari and Burutai are supportive of Boko haram
