macjive, your analytical skills are pretty suspect.

It makes no sense to say that Lagos has huge revenue unless you normalize for population as well.

Not to mention the other questionable premises of yours.

In general, bring some data to support your statements. I don't think you have a good case at all

1. Why is per capita revenue a bad metric? If I have the same revenue but only 1/3rd the population, shouldn't I be able to do much better?
2. I don't think Lagos did well on these HDI metrics back in the 90s and early 2000s.
3. How much exactly did the FG build? Let us have specific #s. And from what I've read, FG pretty much stopped investing in the state by 1990. Or what was the last major federal project in the state? Even the federal roads there, when was the last time they've been touched?
4. Same with health care centers. What was on the ground in 2007 versus what is there now?
5. HDI of Nigerian being higher than that of China, can you document this statement? I'm pretty sure you are wrong.
6. There is no way even Rivers has build more miles of road over the past 4 years than Lagos (let alone any other state in Nigeria.) If you disagree, kindly pull up the data and post it for us here to see.
7. Housing is a task for the private sector, not the government. Or does the government where you live own the home you live in?
8. I'm fairly certain that Lagos leads in healthcare, by any metric. Post data and let us compare if you believe otherwise.
9. Education, what is your basis for saying Lagos is behind any other state in Nigeria?
10. Regarding town planning, you cannot erase 20+ years of rot in 4 years time. It simply isn't possible.


In general, you need to provide data to support your statements. Many of them seem to be wrong. . .hard to accept without evidence.

Hehe

Then it is also Ibo, Eboe, Heebo, etc

No wahala

ThiefOfHearts:
Are your eyes looking at EVERY person that is dancing? Seems like you go to clubs just as Viewer? 

Sigh. Must my eyes look at EVERY person that is dancing before I draw certain conclusions? More importantly, can't I ask you the same question? Or have your own eyes looked at EVERY person?  Both of us are speaking from our own observations/personal experiences. I don't see why my own observations are illegitimate or less legitimate than yours.

Regarding Viewer. . . (Mark Jackson voice), "you are better than that" 

Good thing Im all about electronica so I dont deal with that ish unless I am forced to celebrate something with Nigerians or AAs. Raggae joints can go to hell.

Interesting. There is this electronica club I went to a few times. I enjoyed the music, but the crowd didn't really do it for me. I haven't really figured out how to socialize at that sort of scene effectively.

At your second statement, interesting. I thought you'd be the type to socialize with other Nigerians. . . you've given off a pro-Nigerian vibe in the past.

Reggae joints can be seedy as hell but can also be really fun (at least from the perspective of a guy).

^-- that sounds pretty creepy/gross dude

Do you drink the urine of chicks you have a crush on?

Different strokes for different folks, but that isn't my style

^-- Eh, my eyes function too, right? Or is it only those of women that work?


As far as grabbing goes:

asian or white club < Nigerian club <<< AA club or reggae joint

Lmao

Copping a feel of booty on the first song is a bad strategy. . . just makes you come across as creepy even if she is into you

Imo best to wait at least 3 or 4 songs in before you try exploring too much with your hands. Otherwise the risks are very high.

(Not saying I would or do any of this myself, of course a gentleman like me would never try such  )

macjive01:
@ekt_bear, in wat way do u relate Lagos state with other states?
No other state has financial potentials of Lagos
No other state has investment potentials of Lagos
No other state taxes their people.
No other state has the magnitude of laid down infrastructural investments as Lagos (all thanks to being formal capital territory)

Divide state revenue by population, then rank the states. Per capita state revenue in Lagos isn't particularly exceptional. Yet the state seems to be measure out far better in most of the HDI metrics than other states (education, healthcare, life expectancy, etc)

I still don't see what the problem with 7 is

No reason to be dancing several feet apart is there?

A lil contact never hurt nobody

O ma se ooo

igbo boy:
story story story, guy u jus dey for discussion, wetin consign fine nna boy with lagos LovePeddler? 

go and see p square baby mama and see whether na house girl, go and see 2face Yoruba baby mama and tell me if she is a house girl too, These are girls from "supposedly" good family but will open their legs cos of ego/owo/kudi, what a shame.

Am not here for tales by the moonlight, in terms of giving angle 90 i dont mean to boast I can beat on my chest confidently add all the girls u don smash (igbo or non igbo combined) i have sampled as much Yoruba girls as that, CHai guy man don dey old sha. During my playa days in summer like this me and my friends, funny enough na two Yoruba guys we dey go spend summer for london. Once we switch on our american accent and show those naija briticos (most of them Yoruba) our american kpali it is a done deal.

Of what relevance is 2face and p square? Of course famous performing artists can get nearly any type of chick they want. Can random dudes do the same with any chick halfway desirable?

Regarding "story story story" and "tales by the moonlight", who is the one telling tales? Anyway, I can match you tale for tale if it needs to come down to that. And no fake accents, or any other sort of wuruwuru necessary to finish the task at hand.

At the end of the day, we are enjoying our cookie and taking yours away too. And this will continue indefinitely

If he appoints a non-indigene to Lagos's spot against the will of the indigenes of that state, he will have violated the section 147 of the constitution, be taken to court and lose.

There isn't any room for discretion really. It is out of his hands.

Kind of obsessed with myself. I'm a bit ashamed to admit it though 

Is there more grabbing at "nigerian" clubs than other ones? I dunno about that


I don't think they are any less women-friendly or neanderthalic than any other sort of club. Or am I wrong?

kalokalo:
Like all failed state run projects in Nigeria, this too will fail. Nigerians have refused to learn that their governments are too inept and corrupt to run any economic enterprise well!

Seems to be a private business? Or am I misreading

Relative to his peers, he seems to be the best governor. Not sure in what sense then he is mediocre.

Hehe. Who are you trying to convince? Nobody is buying what you are selling. Which kind of Yoruba woman will let Igbo man make her pregnant?

Giving belle to a p.r.ostitute you met in Lagos doesn't count, my brother

Here I am talking about smashing quality chicks, you otoh are talking about making housemaids and washer women pregnant.

In any case, we've definitely poked a helluva lot more of yours than vice versa. The best and most beautiful in your land has been sampled (I wish I could be more specific, but I don't want to get anyone in trouble.) And are continuing to be sampled, for that matter.

Face your problem of having the highest out-marriage rates in Nigeria. And if this Igbo couple I mentioned earlier is any indication, ya'll got problems if your sisters would rather turn l.esbian than to continue to mess with ya'll

phreakabit:
That part totally discredits your claims.

Hehe.

In the city of Houston, find out for yourself if I'm lying. I've partied enough there and know enough folk there to know that it is 100% true.

I would also share what I've seen and experienced where I live now, but that would get me in some trouble

You are welcome to create that poll I asked, and see what the opinion is.

igbo boy:
the dark ones are those who compromised our purity by mixing with u know who  ,

Hehe. Then 40%+ of Igbo women were impregnated by Yoruba men? Is that what you are saying? Na wa o

On a serious note though, the fraction of lightskinned Igbos isn't that high.

your sis does modelling? i bet she is competing with fellow Yorubas hence una think say she is fine, go enter where igbo, calabar, edo or urhobo girls dey whether she will not cry and say she wants to be a full time engineer

Lol. As if the only people in the industry are even Nigerian

the next best thing other than wifing a Yoruba chick is making her your baby mama (but dont put a ring on it tho)

ask P sqr ask tuface its like tooth paste
as soon as the Yoruba chicks get a taste,
they say put everything inside me dont let it go to waste           M.I am going to give u a run in this rap game 

thats why one of psqr baby mama is Yoruba chick, one of 2 face is Yoruba,

Hehe. No wahala. If we are keeping track of score (and score by # of times one group has fvked another), I guess Yoruba man has to be winning the game

Maybe one day you will catch up. Reminds me though, an Igbo dude out here I know, his (igbo) GF broke up with him semi-publicly and is now into women  

Can you imagine, this dude did so badly he turned the chick into a lesbian? Going to be hard to catch up with performances like that

phreakabit:
An idea (Opinion in your case) is the hardest thing to terminate (almost impossible). So, I will leave you to yours, even though I know you doubt your own claims.

Hehe. Why don't you open up a thread asking which ethnicity in Nigeria outmarries the most. Which group do you think people will overwhelmingly vote for? As if it is only my own opinion. Rather than something I've seen with my own eyes even here in the US, not to talk of Nigeria

igbo boy:
ah thank god, phew so your sister and ileke have hope then. Nothing spoil.

Heh. My sister actually does a bit of amateur modelling and I think is considered by most to be pretty attractive. She doesn't have any difficulties on that front.

But stil most yoruba guys are tired of having charcoal ugly looking babes so even those that practice polygamy might want many igbo and calabar (nkechi, ekaette, chinyere, ofiong, chidinma) girls rather than 5 remi, temi, yemi, femi and nemi

The basic premise you have is that a significantly higher fraction of Yoruba chicks are unattractive relative to Igbo chicks. Which even if one accepts this premise, doesn't say anything about what type of chicks guy X is likely to be able to pull.

Regarding "charcoal ugly". . . I invite you to do that Facebook search of "Umeh" like I said. See what type of faces you pull up.

There are a small fraction of Igbos who are very light skinned (5% or so of the pop?), but the rest look like everyone else

Aloy/Emeka: Most of these "green" technologies are more expensive. I've never liked how the US and Europe have spent the past 200 years polluting earth, then it is only when the 3rd world (China, Africa, etc) want to start industrializing too that they are pushing to go green.

Let the US and Europe go green. Me, I'll go green in 200 years once I've done my own fair share of polluting (I'm exaggerating a bit, but hopefully you get the point.)

igbo boy:
ekt bear u should be worried about your sisters and female cousins cos igbo ladies are chancing them, u dont like your sisters evidently, u want them to remain life long spinsters and be riding rubber Love Machine?

You know that polygamy rates are higher in Yorubaland than in Igboland. That people decide to take away your cookie doesn't mean they won't enjoy their own too

phreakabit:
Dude, its no secret that the Igbo mans package performs perfectly somewhat above perfection, so don't even go their .  

Well it is probably in your interest to find out what exactly the problem is, why so many of 'em are looking elsewhere for loving

I'm guilty of #4, 7, 9

I don't think any of them are that bad tho

Is this percentage larger or smaller than other ethnic groups in Nigeria?

Which group of women outmarry by far the most?

Hehe, just like asian dudes whose women get chopped by white dudes

Hehe

Then a large fraction of the population must be 'desperados.' Or something doesn't function right in the dudes they'd otherwise date 

Unless someone wants to lie and say that Igbo women out# men substantially more than other population groups

Excellent move. Coal is a very cheap energy source. I wonder what the timeline looks like for this project.

The 234next article was very interesting. Nice thread, guys.

hackney:
Same excuse for the last 1 million years.
Germany and japan were flattened in '42.
The british colonized the hell out of america but look at them today. (meanwhile no such thing happened to black haiti)

Lets keep blaming everybody else.
what a lousy continent.

I feel you man, it isn't as if you don't have good reason to be pessimistic. But I think things will eventually get better (at least in Nigeria), assuming some minimal displays of competence happen. Using Nigeria as an example, as bad as we think it might be, the economy is growing pretty rapidly. So improvement will happen.

No pain, just surprise

You give off an agbero vibe, hence the amusement I had about "ballin"

^-- Hrm. So there is a Mr Kobojunkie? And a Kobojunkie family, period? Interesting

Or maybe if lucky assistant manager @ walmart.

Yeah, that is ballin for real. I'm sure it really impresses the ladies

Lmao at this dude who probably bags groceries in Seattle trying to front like a baller
