The phrase construction IS correct. But man, it really has one funny ring to it. LOL!!!

Hmmm. . .

I kinda miss Gbawe though. . .
I honestly do.

Congratulations, dear.

I tire for this big-for-nothing population.

I fully agree with the professor! Well said!

I know. The slowpoke being you of course.

I love the way Bandit has managed to expose this Chino guy and his empty boasts.

Mtsssheeewww! This Sagamite sef just dey act like the best thing since 'Oluwale' certificates.
Abeg, carry your 'Toronto' comot make we see road to thumbprint.

Omo e be like say dis Bandit guy na real militant eh.
Ol' boy, I fear oh.

JamesDoe:
Intriguing question. What is your definition of a city,

- Planned buildings and road networks

- Managed by a 'mayor' and not an LG chairman

- government-aided commerce

- Seperate budget from other LGA's

- Population density over 50% more than atleast 33% of the state combined

- In ancient English times, a city must contain a cathedral.

Anambra can
afford to go to bond market
because of its IGR, but it will be
highly suicidal for a state like imo
which based most of its income
on federal allocation.

Mr Chino, my dear, whenever I read your posts, all I see are pointless empty boasts with absolutely zero evidence to back them up.
Here's the ranking of Nigerian states by their IGR in billions:

(1) Rivers >>> 184.5
(2) Lagos >>> 182.8
(3) Akwa-Ibom >>> 144.5
(4) Delta >>> 124.1
(5) Bayelsa >>> 89.5
(6) Kano >>> 51.7
(7) Ondo >>> 46.1
(8.) Oyo >>> 41.1
(9) Edo >>> 40.9
(10) Kaduna >>> 40.8
(11) Abia >>> 37.7
(12) Imo >>> 35.7
(13) Ogun >>> 35.6
(14) Benue >>> 35.3
(15) Kwara >>> 34.1
(16) Katsina >>> 33.2
(17) Niger >>> 32.3
(18) Borno >>> 31.9
(19) Cross river >>> 31.8
(20) Gombe >>> 31.7
(21) Bauchi >>> 31.6
(22/23) Anambra >>> 30
(22/23) Jigawa >>> 30
(24/25) Sokoto >>> 29.2
(24/25) Adamawa >>> 29.2
(26) Kebbi >>> 28.9
(27) Osun >>> 28.6
(28) Kogi >>> 28.4
(29) Plateau >>> 28.1
(30) Taraba >>> 28
(31) Enugu >>> 27.7
(32) Zamfara >>> 27.5
(33) Yobe >>> 26.3
(34 Nasarrawa >>> 23.8
(35) Ekiti >>> 23.6

You must really think Nairaland is some playpen where you can practice your wishful thoughts.
Oh well, hope this effectively shuts you up.

Where is Eko Ile, though?

Ebuka (from Big Brother Nigeria) just recieved a stray bulk SMS from LCC.

Ironically, I remember BRF and BAT were staunch critics of Gadhaffi, Mubarak and Ben-Ali, due to regarding their brazen brutality against civilian protesters. But what makes it funny is that, while the North African protesters were clamoring for the resignations of their aforementioned respective rulers, the Lagos protesters were merely fighting against the toll gates. As in, commono toll gates, e don dey like this. I wouldn't dare imagine wetin those thugs go now come do when it gets to resignation request.

PDP member, Kunle Osinbajo disguising as a protester arrested by MOPOL in Lekki

What exactly does the "disguised as a protester" part mean? Is there a special uniform worn by protesters that you have to 'disguise' into? As a taxpaying Lagosian, I think he also has the rights to protest against anti-people policies, no matter what party he pitches his tent in.
The needless urge to highlight his PDP membership not only exposes the writer's ulterior motives, but also reinforces my belief that these ACN thugs are desperate to justify the inhumanity meted out on the state's biggest and most valuable resource . . . THE PEOPLE!

Uber-capitalism.

900% increase of LASU fees.
40,000 Naira for new car number plates.
Removal of fuel subsidies.
Tolling of heavily populated middleclass estates.

Naija no dey ever gree carry last.

Anyway, Eko o ni baje ooo!

Hi Mukina.
Tell me, though, who do I have to sleep with before you can tag this to the frontpage?

Slowly, Lagos ACN is turning out to be one weird quasi-nightmare

Please, you guys should stop this mockery of the DIG. You don't even know how it happened and you're all laughing.
Look, my people were there first hand, and I shall let you know the full story:

The DSP pitched a brilliant idea to the DIG, on a new technique that is sure to end the Boko Haram menace. It involved the use of melee combat, as opposed to the conventional ranged projectile combat we've come to use, and it was about employing this tactic to wrestle and disarm their bombs at a faster rate.
So, when the DSP visited his hotel room for a more practical and comprehensive demonstration, the DIG was so impressed with this life-saving innovation, that he shed tears of joy and died with a smile on his face.

I really don't care what you all say, but that gentleman was killed in action.
We just lost a rare gem today. . . That brave man died for his country.

Wow, this is mad cool!

I swear, people can be so stupidd sometimes. What ever on earth could inform dumping your solid waste IN A FREAKING DRAINAGE CHANNEL!?
But at the same time, when market flooding sets in, na government ooo! Citizens have become so disenfranchised by previous leaders that they themselves don't even know their own little civic duties anymore. SMH.

What a loss.
R.I.P.

I heart the lady, though. Any diasporan would do the same after reading about Ghana's plans to start selling electricity to Nigeria

LMAO, Nairaland election is serious business

How sad.

I keep saying it, illiteracy is the worst killer. No matter how rich your country is in terms of minerals and agricultural products; when it is run by a group of illiterates, you will NEVER progress.
The British hegemonists were so keen on maintaining their control over Nigeria, they denied the North adequate education, inflated their population figures and then rigged them into government. You think it was a coincidence? You think it was a mistake?
51 years later and 38 years of reckless misrule and we STILL haven't gone anywhere.
That fallen 1080 power plant, according to the workers themselves, had been running in the same condition for 40 years. I guess innovation and reinvention are not our favorite words.
Ghana's had her own fair share of corrupt leaders in the past; but what makes her different is her people's determination to eliminate them. As for Nigeria? We just roll over and take it all lying on our backs.
I'm so filled with hate and disgust right now.
Crap!

Just like the Soviet Union, America is soon falling to make way for the new World power. . . China.
The fact that this new adversary of theirs practices practices an economic policy they heavily dislike (state capitalism) makes it even more painful.

Oh well, Uncle Sammy, time to try buoying economy again by staging another African war. I believe Nigeria's next in line.

Nigerians and their 'I must go to city' is one of they key factors in this mess. Most rural youngies think you have jobs waiting to pounce on your laps as soon as you've crossed that 'Welcome' billboard. But they only find out how wrong they are when they can't afford the next transport back home, only to eventually lead a life of crime.
What many don't realize is that rural life does have it's own rewards, and some even end up successful in their hometowns.

Oh, what am I blabbering about? I think Nigeria needs more mega cities to help shave some attention from Lagos. That place is becoming almost completely uninhabitable.
