According to the story,Niger state has so many natural resources and a potential oil producing state and yet Niger state is still very dependent on federal allocations,still very poor,with large number of almajiris and you want us to believe that when is broken up into two states,thats when its full potentials will be achieved!so i ask,what stops them from achieving those potentials as one big state...another tales by moonlight!

olaheavy: This 'moremi' person is another Igbo bastard in disguise. Millions of these yinminrin human-eaters were born, nurtured, and schooled in our Yorubaland. They tend to claim Yoruba as their ethnicity because they're ashamed of their cannibalistic Igbo heritage! Mother and fatherfucker go sleep with some human-eating Igbo LovePeddler! B'eru ba pe nile alajobi l'o ma n bu. Were, olosi, omo ale. Akindindinrin, omo Igbo onijekuje!

You have a good argument. However, it is also true that a lot of people wake up at 4.00am in Lagos just to be a molue conductor or sell Gala on Falomo bridge. Would you say their lives are better than every village dweller? Maybe, maybe not. It depends on which villager you are comparing them with, and it depends on what options would be available to them if they returned to the village.

Some people want to be in Lagos just for the heck of it. A fairly decent choice that we must all respect. Many others are in Lagos because they are actively supporting younger ones and aged parents in the village by waking up at 4.00am either to sell Gala - or work in a Bank. Hence, the same way people get up by 6.00am just to get to work in New York, London or Toronto....and they still support people back home in Nigeria, regardless of their skill level or salary. There is no option that is better or best. It all depends on the individual and his unique circumstance.

Where you live, work or call your home is a matter of choice or circumstances. Its not where you are from, but where you are -that really matters in the long run. Otherwise, most of us should vacate the towns and cities where we live/work today and relocate to our ancestral villages or hamlets. Are some diasporans better of in Nigeria? Most definitely. Are some Nigerian city hustlers better of in their villages? Most definitely.

Every choice in life has its consequences.
