If u are still a very young guy with swag why on earth would you think of buying the 4Runner...lol. The Pathfinder is a luxurious rugged SUV. Interior wise, Pathfinder win. That Balljoint issue is very correct with the 4Runners.

You may be right but I've seen a couple of young guys driving a well maintained 4runner and they looked great in it

Nigeria is doomed if youths can support this Adeleke man to clinch Osun gubernatorial job. Do you even sit down to foresee the tremendous damage his poor academic profile will do to education of children and people of Osun state?

This kind of person won't see anything bad in schools going on industrial actions. This type of person will pay little or no attention to the plight and welfare of teachers and lecturers.

Unless we want to continue to move in a vicious circle. You can't give what you don't have. You don't take a poisonous leaf to a purification feast. Where are the great and deep thinkers of this great nation?

Our education is suffering as schools fail too many all because lettered and well versed citizens have joined uneducated and people of low IQ to encourage mediocrity and elements who ordinarily don't have any attributes of leadership to steer the affairs in this nation.

Nigerian youths are hereby charged to put on their thinking cap and do things right. The person on whose head a coconut fruit is broken will not live to jointly eat therefrom.

Kiss the truth.

I think APC leaders are the ones disturbing Saraki unnecessarily

Yes, the terror in Saraki was created by APC

DogmaNation:
Nigerians will be glad if he can push that terrorist n blood sucker out of that position.

It's not going to be easy if the constitution provision is applied. 2/3rd of the Senate or 2/3rd of 1/3rd of the senators present in a quorum. PDP has 49 members, APC 52 others from APGA etc. And APC needs at least 73 members or 24 in a quorum to impeach Saraki. Very unlikely he will be brought down.

The ongoing feud between APC handlers and the Senate President is not healthy for the nation and portends great dangers to our fledgling democracy. It's unfortunate that this is happening at a time when the nation is desperately in need of succour to bail its citizenry out of abject poverty and despair.

The trend is taking an ominous turn that is likely to subvert the rule of law and engenders chaos and anarchy if not managed with tacts.

Senator Bukola Saraki, as we know, is the number three man after the president and his vice. I know what can equally happen if Saraki is politically ambitious even now that he is pitching his tent with the opposition party. The smart moves of Saraki to clinch the Senate Presidency and accede the deputy to the opposition can further take another twist if he has an eye for the office of the president. This confirms the rash and uncouth methods employed in recent times by APC leaders to quickly oust him from that lofty position. Nevertheless, as I said, engage tacts.

National interest should be above selfish interests and ambitions. Hmm, no single blood of a Nigerian is worth the ambition of any politician.

All these senseless killings happen because our nation is not ripe for the democracy we practise. APC and PDP gimmicks to wrestle power from the opponent.

For how long are we, the electorate going to be fooled?
If the government of APC has the political will to forestall these heinous crimes, a second won't pass before this madness is stamped out.

He that comes to equity must also come with clean hands.
What did they also ride to power with the make beliefs that we saw all over?

God will surely visit everyone that had hand in the pogroms and sufferings of common and innocent Nigerians with generational retribution. Amen

NORSIYK:
If not that Nigeria is a shithole country where tribalism and hate reigns Supreme why will a government in Nigeria purchasing a huge number of buses like this, when they can be easily and conveniently purchased across the Niger here, in that way our dying economy would have had a bit lift, but no way a yoruba government will patronize an Igbo business.

If we all see the transaction as mutually beneficial to the two parties involved and one group will not see it as a favour done to develop the other's land, only then will I criticize the transaction with Brazilian company.

Ragnar!!! FFK or his wife must have watched Ragnar Lothbrok, the Vikings warrior with relish

Anyway Congrats!

Zeromoney:
I support an Emir in Yorubaland it's the first step towards moving the seat of the caliphate away from the extremists in Sokoto!

Is that what they made you believe? Are you so myopic to see that the person offering you a bowl of porridge is also wielding a big stick up there to hit your skull?

Hmm..the strong horse on union bank logo..i'm thinking of doing the needful before it turns to story that touches the heart!

Foot dragging for 2 years to implement a meagre #56k as minimum wage! This goes to show how insensitive and unresponsive this nutcase of a government is.

A serious government will place the interests of its citizenry at the front burner. Why will this be difficult for them to implement if they can easily soil their ten fingers with the honey in the cookie jar?

BTW, how much does it cost to feed their hybrid dogs in a week?

lawman88:
Hmmm, if this is true then obasanjo is angry for not having political influence on APC or PDP, so he is determined to create a party where he would single handedly dictate it decision. If obasanjo really want change as he claims, he shouldn't have go after PDP and APC governors and senators, he should recruitment new blood and start a movement. OBASANJO was pained after he returned from Liberia and saw how George weah was doing "boy boy" for Helen jonhson sirleaf and the present president of Nigeria and the past one did not do such to him....

It's a pity how the people of this unfortunate generation think!

Sounds like good initiative, but APC also started in like manner.

There's a good prospect going by the group of highly educated and informed members paraded as the drivers of the movement.

The movement should keep their heads straight and game very tight as there's bound to be a fifth column that would engage in anti-party activities that are liable to wreck the sailing ship to give an advantage to the callous and greedy parties in existence.

Infiltration of new members should also be scrutinized critically. Leadership of the movement should be on qualification and merit other than quota rubbish. No one takes a poisonous leaf to a purification feast!

The party should expeditiously come out with a clear communique to enlighten the electorate about its direction of policy.

By the way, I will like to see the common sense advocate, Senator Ben Murray Bruce on the leadership list. He's also a good stuff who knows his onions.

With all these done in good faith, battered and dashed hope of Nigerian citizenry is seen gloriously restored.

Deo gratias!

How else can we describe a fantastically corrupt country if not a shithole or cesspit? Is our country not a case study where a bad example is required? Every brusque statement fits and gets stuck on us. Pity!

Clumsy

Good initiative! It's worth giving a try. Nobody does anything contemplating only the negatives. The question: "what, if it works?" should dominate our minds.
Another pertinent questions should be:
1. How many passengers is a cable car able to convey at once?
2. What are the maintenance models that will be developed for this laudable project?
3. What are the long and short terms environmental hazards or implications of it?
4. Will a particular cable serve both Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) and Cargo Rapid Transit (CRT) together or differently?
5. What are the safety precautions that will be adopted?

These and many other questions should be considered if the project will be a huge success.

Eko o ni baje!

Upritman : @SuanusBlog Unlike in other countries where legislative business is one that requires experience gained by uninterrupted stay at the legislative chambers, Nigeria has been used to frequent changes of its lawmakers across the three tiers of government. The reasons may not be far- fetched from the peculiarity of our political system and sphere. Except for very few individuals who have remained in the national assembly since 1999, the return rate has continued to drop. Suanu’s Blog hereby x-rays 15 Senators that may most likely not return to the red chambers in 2019. In no particular order, they include; 1. Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso: He is the Senator representing Kano Central Senatorial District and former Governor of Kano State. Kwankwaso is also the leader of the socio-political group, Kwankwasiyya known for their white kaftan and red cap. Sooner after handing over power to his former deputy as Governor, Kwankwaso has been in what appears to be an unending political battle with Gov.Ganduje. With the current Kano State Govenor controlling the state chapter of the APC and majority of its delegates, Kwankwaso may find it difficult to either return to the Senate or achieve an overwhelming home support for his rumoured presidential ambition in 2019. It is unclear if his popularity can still secure him a return should he defects to another political party to pursue his political course. 2. Senator Ike Ekweremadu: The Enugu born Lawmaker is one of the most ranking members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. Thanks to the unholy political romance between his party and the Saraki Boys of the APC that he benefitted from and launched himself into retaining his deputy senate presidency position. This has earned him the hatred of some top ranking members of the ruling party, many of who will certainly be plotting against His return to the red chambers in 2019. Aside that, Ekweremadu’s major challenge may be coming from the home front in 2019 as there are strong indications that He will be having a strong opponent to contend with in the 2019 General Elections. Suanu’s Blog has gathered that a former governor of the state who hails from the same Enugu West senatorial district with Dr.Ekweremadu and who is now a chieftain of the ruling APC have concluded arrangements to sack him (Ekweremadu) in 2019 and take his seat in the red chambers. If the plot of the ex- governor succeeds, then the current Deputy Senate President may just not make it back to the senate. 3. Shehu Sani: The President of the Civil Rights Congress of Nigeria turned politician has not been able to differentiate life as a politician in Nigeria from life as is required in civil society activism. Sani has left no stone unturned in criticizing even the fart of Gov.Nasir Elrufai, though they belong to the same political party. Many political observers are of the opinion that Sani’s unending criticism of Elrufai isn’t out of love for Kaduna People but towards replacing Gov.Elrufai in 2019. But there are serious fears, Sani may lose the war from both fronts as he may not smell the Kaduna State Government House or be able to return to His seat in the red chambers. This may not be unconnected to a silent plot by Gov.Elrufai to cut Sani to shape by ensuring that He doesn’t get the party’s ticket for reelection in 2019. If this works out, defecting to another party and contesting therefrom may not secure the needed success Senator Sani desires to retain his seat. If the odds turn out entirely against him, then we may just miss him at the red chambers in 2019. 4. Senator Dino Melaye: No senator today is as controversial as the senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District. The former member of the House of Representatives and acclaimed anti-corruption activist has continued on his war path with his state governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello. A quick way to punish Melaye is the ongoing plot to recall him that he has consistently accused his state governor of masterminding. Apart from the likely secret hand of Gov.Bello in ending Melaye’s political career, a sizeable number of Melaye’s constituents appear to be genuinely angry at his style of representation, and his extravagant and flamboyant dispositions while they are at constant war with poverty back home. If Senator Dino survives the recall plot against him, strong forces against him back at home will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that he doesn’t return to the red chamber in 2019 by denying him a return ticket. 5. Senator Ben Bruce: Known more as a business magnate, Bruce felt the necessity of the juicy nature of Nigerian politics and opted to have a taste of it. With zero popularity in his home state of Bayelsa, the Twitter Senator had made an unsuccessful attempt to become the governor of the oil rich in 2011. Bruce however launched a return to the political scene in 2015 when when he contested for the senatorial seat of Bayelsa East under the umbrella of the PDP. The unarguably fact remains that Senator Ben Bruce never merited that victory right from the primary election (if any actually took place). He was simply imposed on the people and benefitted from the known undemocratic tendencies that characterized the PDP era. As strange as it was, Ben Bruce was said to have defeated an immediate ex-former of the state of Bayelsa. With stories of underperformance, underrepresentation and accusation of been an Abuja- based senator, it is unclear if Bruce may return to the senate in 2019. Especially if the mercenaries of Gov.Dickson which perfected his victory should withdraw their arsenal or if the people should revolt against him and demand for a more people-friendly representative or perhaps if the opposition party should bring up a more viable, vibrant and dogged candidate against Bruce, the tsunami may just push him back to his Silver bird gallery. 6. Senator Theodore Orji: If not for the pursuit of sheer greed, the likes of Chief Theodore Orji shouldn’t be anywhere close to our legislative chambers. Known best as one of the architects of Abia’s underdevelopment, Orji currently represents Abia Central Senatorial District under the PDP. He has been among the sleeping/dormant gang in the national assembly with little or no contribution to show for being there. If His constituents wake up to the reality that they need a better representation, if he is confronted with a virile opposition candidate or if the rumoured rancor between him and his successors lingers, then He may simply be retired from the red chambers in 2019. 7. Senator Buruji Kashamu: He is an internationally wanted drug baron and billionaire who in a bid to avoid arrest and extradition dabbled into politics. He currently represents the people of Ogun East Senatorial District in the national assembly. Buruji appears to still enjoy the massive support of his people despite the illicit stories that continually trail his person and character. Thanks to the hunger among his people that continually pushes them to his residence to line up to collect cash and rice during every festive period. Kashamu’s major problem is from his party, the PDP. He was/is a strong supporter of Sen.Ali Modu Sheriff who many believed was on a mission to give the PDP a final burial except for the Supreme Court that saved the party. After the defeat of Sheriff, some top members of his party have refused to forgive Kashamu. Even at that, Kashamu has also refused to give up. He has shifted the battle to his state chapter of the PDP securing several injunctions against the position/ decision of his party concerning the state leadership of the party. If the battle continues, Kashamu may end up been pushed finally out of the party and thereby will lose a chance of seeking reelection under the party’s platform. With some of his men having defected from the PDP to another party, it is unclear if Kashamu can still retain his seat at the senate if he decides to join them any time soon if the heat in the PDP becomes unbearable for him. 8. Senator Osinakachkwu Ideozu: He is the only surviving senator from Rivers State on the platform of the PDP. He is one of the beneficiaries of the Wike political dynasty in Rivers State which was hatched in 2015. Ideozu just like others benefitted from the widespread rigging that characterized the 2015 General Elections in the state. Fortunately for him, he survived the series of rerun legislative elections and judicial interpretations that shaped the Rivers State elections. As the state chapter of the APC consolidates on its narrow victories and plans to massively take over the state in 2019, there are indications that Senator Ideozu may be swept away especially if Gov.Wike fails to deliver Him. 9. Senator Mao Ohuabunwa: Representing Abia North Senatorial District, He is one the senators that had a sustained battle before securing his seat at the red chambers. Sen.Mao’s major challenge came from a former governor of Abia State who contested against him in 2015. While Mao managed to have won at first attempt, his victory song was got short by the Court of Appeal which annulled his declaration as winner. He however narrowly won the rerun election that held on March 6, 2016. Having defected from the PPA to the ruling APC, Dr.Uzor Orji Kalu may not have given up on going to the senate. Considering the lean line between the votes of Mao and Kalu, add that to the fact that despite his defection, he still retains majority of his previous support base and the new support and advantages that may accrue to him from his new party, a decision by the Abia billionaire to contest for same position in 2019 may pose a serious threat to the return of Senator Mao to the red chamber. Specifically while Mao scored, 26009 votes to win, Kalu got 25814 (a difference of just 195 votes) while Bourdex Onuoha scored 13633 votes. Interestingly, both Bourdex and Kalu have defected to the ruling APC. 10. Senator David Mark: He is one of the privileged lawmakers to have endured the red chambers from 1999 till date. The former Senate President was almost knocked out of the national assembly by a young vibrant Comrade Dan Onjeh during the 2015 elections. While Mark’s initial victory was annulled, he reclaimed his mandate through a rerun election held on February 20, 2016. After the narrow victory that returned him, Mark has remained deaf and dumb in the national assembly with some Nigerians referring to him as Chairman of the Sleeping Committee. If Mark chooses not to retire in 2019, then there are strong indications that he may not be that lucky again due to the general non-performance that is characterizing his current mandate at the senate. 11. Senator Jonah Jang: This is obviously a member of the Mark’s sleeping committee who has remained so dull and dormant at the senate. The former plateau state governor who is one of the oldest senators represents Plateau North Senatorial District. He is one of those ex-governors who see the senate as a retirement joint to continue to be paid with tax payers’ money for doing nothing absolutely. Being a member of an opposition party in his state plus his sealed lips and sleeping eyes at the senate, any strong opponent in the 2019 general elections may ensure Senator Jang doesn’t return to continue his slumber in the red chamber again 12. Senator Ali Ndumi: The former Senate Leader who has been on suspension represents Borno South in the national assembly. Apart from his legislative headaches and the recent controversies of landing a heavy slap on the face of a member of the Borno State House of Assembly, the embattled lawmaker is not a peace with his state governor, Kashim Shettima who Suanu’s Blog gathered is against Ndume’s bid to succeed him. If the former house of representatives member does not put his political house in order and seek reconciliation with those at war with him, they may use the mercenaries of the party at their disposal to deny him the elective ticket of the party to seek reelection into the senate in 2019 or any other political office he may opt for. 13. Senator Biodun Olujimi: The rugged woman of Ekiti politics represents Ekiti South in the senate and also occupies the position of the deputy minority whip. The former deputy governor of Ekiti State is currently at war with her former boss and current governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose. Suanu’s Blog gathered that Olujimi’s recent war with Gov.Fayose is due to her ambition to contest the 2018 governorship election in which Gov.Fayose has already anointed his current deputy to be the sole candidate of his party, PDP. With majority of the party members including delegates been loyal to Governor Ayodele Fayose, He doesn’t only have the powers to scuttle the governorship ambition of Olujimi but to also frustrate her alternative return to the senate in 2019 for not being loyal to him. 14. Senator Stella Oduah: The former Aviation Minister known for her multi-million naira scandal represents Anambra North at the national assembly. She benefitted from the easy access granted to her on the platform of the PDP due to her cordial relationship with ex-president Goodluck Jonathan. However with the exit of Jonathan and her recent stand against the decision of the party over the conduct of its governorship primary election in Anambra State, Ex-Governor Peter Obi who seems to solely hold the key of the PDP in the state in His pocket may decide to mobilize his men to pay her back in 2019 by denying her a return ticket of the party to the senate. 15. Senator Isah Hamma Misau: If you cannot remember anything about Sen.Misau, at least you will remember the ongoing IGPGate. The senator representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District has leveled weighty against the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris and in the process has indicted others including Gov.Ambode, CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele and even the President’s Wife, Aisha Buhari. Political sins they say are never forgiven. Considering the embarrassment that his allegations have caused to some very high profile persons mentioned in his ongoing war with the IGP, there are indications that the affected persons may use the apparatus loyal to them in the Bauchi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC to ensure that Sen.Misau is denied a reelection ticket on the platform of the party. How these will turn out to be is just to be determined by the outcome of the 2019 General Elections. The list above however may not be exclusive.

Op, the earth is the Lord's and its fullness thereof. He gave it to us to dwell in, do our work, maintain it and multiply in it. The difference in languages and ways of life prompted the delineation of land and hence government to administer the land and its people.

Now every region/state has government and saying that Lagos is a no man's land is a misnomer to the reality on ground. What tribe are the Lagos state governor and his deputy, if we even leave the past administrators out of it?
What about the Speaker and deputy of Lagos state House of Assembly? Ok, what tribe are the Obas and Chiefs in Lagos?
Henceforth, I will liken any argument on Lagos and its owners, either for or against to idleness and foolishness.

Izumarock70:
shut ur mouth.
Lagos remains a no man's land.

You are coming to bit late. Maybe you would have succeeded during the time Ilorin was ceded to the northerners.

Any semblance of that will not be allowed never again under our watch.

Hofbrauhaus:
This is just what's giving this one sleepless night...People are stealing your future, your children's future and the future of your children's children but this is your problem..

Smh.

Some people are really mad but they have no one to tell them..

None can be mad than a person that crossed many bridges and rivers to dictate to us what language to make compulsory in our schools to teach our younger ones or who to make our Governor.

As it does not always catch my fancy to reply a paedophile or a puerile comment, I wish to let you know that the write-up was only meant to guide you and stop the obsession of you lots as I read daily on this platform.

Why, why? Is it by force to annex another man's land?

HISTORY OF LAGOS Lagos (Yoruba: Èkó) is a city in the Nigerian state of Lagos. The city, with its adjoining conurbation, is the largest in Nigeria, as well as on the African continent. It is one of the fastest growing cities in the world and also one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. Lagos is a major financial centre in Africa; the mega city has the highest GDP, and also houses one of the largest and busiest ports on the continent. Lagos initially emerged as a port city which originated on a collection of islands, which are contained in the present day Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Lagos Island, Eti-Osa, Amuwo-Odofin and Apapa; the islands are separated by creeks, fringing the southwest mouth of Lagos Lagoon, while protected from the Atlantic Ocean by barrier islands and long sand spits such as Bar Beach, which stretch up to 100 km (60 mi) east and west of the mouth. Due to rapid urbanization, the city expanded to the west of the lagoon to include areas in the present day Lagos Mainland, Ajeromi- Ifelodun and Surulere. This led to the classification of Lagos into two main areas - the Island, which was the initial city of Lagos, before it expanded into the area known as the Mainland. This city area was governed directly by the Federal Government through the Lagos City Council, until the creation of Lagos State in 1967, which led to the splitting of Lagos city into the present day seven Local Government Areas (LGAs), and an addition of other towns (which now make up 13 LGAs) from the then Western Region, to form the state. Lagos which was the capital of Nigeria since its amalgamation in 1914, went on to become the capital of Lagos State, after its creation. However, the state capital was later moved to Ikeja in 1976, while the federal capital also moved to Abuja in 1991. Even though Lagos is still widely referred to as a city, the present day Lagos, also known as "Metropolitan Lagos", and officially as "Lagos Metropolitan Area" is an urban agglomeration or conurbation, consisting of 16 LGAs, including Ikeja, the state capital of Lagos State. This conurbation makes up 37% of Lagos State's total land area, but houses about 85% of the state's total population. The population of Metropolitan Lagos is approximately 20 million as at 2015. Lagos was originally inhabited by the Awori subgroup of the Yoruba people in the 15th century, who called it "Oko". Under the leadership of the Oloye Olofin, the Awori moved to an island now called Iddo and then to the larger Lagos Island. In the 16th century, the Awori settlement was conquered by the Benin Empire and the island became a Benin war-camp called "Eko" under Oba Orhogba, the Oba of Benin at the time. Eko is still the native name for Lagos. Lagos, which means "lakes", was a name given to the settlement by the Portuguese. The present-day Lagos state has a high percentage of Awori, who migrated to the area from Isheri along the Ogun river. Throughout history, it was home to a number of warring ethnic groups who had settled in the area. Following its early settlement by the Awori nobility, and its conquest by the Bini warlords of Benin, the state first came to the attention of the Portuguese in the 15th century. Portuguese explorer Rui de Sequeira visited the area in 1472, naming the area around the city Lago de Curamo. Another explanation is that Lagos was named for Lagos, Portugal – a maritime town which, at the time, was the main centre of Portuguese expeditions down the African coast. In Britain's early 19th century fight against the transatlantic slave trade, its West Africa Squadron or Preventative Squadron as it was also known, continued to pursue Portuguese, American, French, and Cuban slave ships and to impose anti-slavery treaties with West African coastal chiefs with so much doggedness that they created a strong presence along the West African coast from Sierra Leone all the way to the Niger Delta (today's Nigeria) and as far south as Congo. In 1849, Britain appointed John Beecroft Consul of the Bights of Benin and Biafra, a position he held (along with his governorship of Fernando Po) until his death in 1854. John Duncan was appointed Vice Consul and was located at Wydah. At the time of Beecroft's appointment, the Kingdom of Lagos (under Oba Kosoko) was in the western part of the Consulate of the Bights of Benin and Biafra and was a key slave trading port. In 1851 and with pressure from liberated slaves who now wielded political and business influence, Britain intervened in Lagos in what is now known as the Bombardment of Lagos or Capture of Lagos resulting in the installation of Oba Akitoye (and the ouster of Oba Kosoko) who signed Treaty Between Great Britain and Lagos, 1 January 1852. The signing of the 1852 treaty ushered in the Consular Period in Lagos' history wherein Britain provided military protection to Lagos. Following threats from Kosoko and the French who were positioned at Wydah, a decision was made by Lord Palmerston (British Prime Minister) who noted in 1861, "the expediency of losing no time in assuming the formal Protectorate of Lagos". William McCoskry, the Acting Consul in Lagos with Commander Bedingfield convened a meeting with Oba Dosunmu on July 30, 1861 aboard HMS Prometheus where Britain's intent was explained and a response to the terms were required by August 1861. Dosunmu resisted the terms of the treaty but under the threat to unleash violence on Lagos by Commander Bedingfield, Dosunmu relented and signed the Lagos Treaty of Cession on August 6, 1861. The remainder of modern-day Nigeria was seized in 1887, and when the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria was established in 1914, Lagos was declared its capital, continuing as such after the country's independence from Britain in 1960. Along with migrants from all over Nigeria and other West African nations were the returnee ex-slaves known as Creoles, who came from Freetown, Sierra Leone, Brazil and the West Indies to Lagos. The Creoles contributed to Lagos' modernisation and their knowledge of Portuguese architecture can still be seen from the architecture on Lagos Island. Electric street lighting was introduced in the city in 1898. Lagos experienced rapid growth throughout the 1960s and 1970s as a result of Nigeria's economic boom. Before the creation of Lagos State on 27 May 1967, Lagos, which was the country's capital had been administered directly by the Federal Government as a Federal Territory through the Federal Ministry of Lagos Affairs, while the Lagos City Council (LCC) governed the city. Lagos, along with the towns from the then Western region (Ikeja, Agege, Mushin, Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry), were eventually captured to create Lagos State. Lagos city was split into the present day seven Local Government Areas(LGAs), while the other towns now make up 13 LGAs in the state. Lagos played the dual role of being the State and Federal Capital until 1976, when the state capital was moved to Ikeja. Lagos was adversely affected during Nigeria's military rule. Also, on 12 December 1991, the seat of the Federal Government was also formally relocated to Abuja. However, Lagos still remains the financial centre of the country, and also grew to become the most populous conurbation in the country.

I can't still decipher the motive behind the sudden change of the popular Radio Continental that once aired on the Frequency Modulation of 102.3 to Max FM.

It's surprising to know that the laudable programmes like Continental Breakfast Show, Newspaper Reviews, Know Your Rights, Kobanji Direct amongst others have been bundled.

Anyone with reliable information about this change should please revert.

Could it have been because of political calculation or wistfully? If you know what mean.

RIP to your English grammar. I agree with you, it failed woefully and irredeemably

Good People Don't Last! How I Wish We Have a Self-styled Person Like This Today To Help Curtail The Strangeness in Our Contemporary Nigerianness. I'm feeling Nostalgic Right away. Wanna Go Home...

ONYEUTALI:
These wasterners thought Lagos is all about APC. What your politicians want is your damn votes and nothing else. And they'll outsmart you to get it.
PDP or any Political Party that wants to take over from the current APC of Lagos will simply flank an Igbo as a deputy to a Yoruba.
They're starting to realise they can't win without Igbos' votes. That was why one threatened them with the Lagoon the other time. Things change. That ape can't threaten anyone with the Lagoon again, he'll have to change tactics, he'll have to seduce them politically... Else his opponent takes over.
Seducing politically? Just get their brothers to be part of your cabinets.


So my conclusion is, Igbos will rule Lagos but no damn Yoruba will rule Igboland.

Kiss the truth.

Can you now see yourself?
You just succeeded in creating disaffection as to the reason why such idea cannot receive the support of people and can only be better imagined.

Yorubas have a clear cut distinction and definition for their cultures and traditions and as such cannot disrespect elders and royal figures,

These sterling values will not be allowed to erode all in the name of ensuring political equation and balance.

If you feel you ain't getting political recognition that is commensurate with your investment volume, we will be pleased to acknowledge your relocation notice elsewhere.

Stricker321:
IS NNAMDI KANU A COWARD TO GO INTO HIDING NOW?

It is criminally offensive for any right thinking human to advice or advocate for Nnamdi Kanu to show his face now to prove that he's a hero or kind of superman. Kanu is well smarter than you think. It is either you do not know history or you're plain daft! I will tell you why.

We've seen great men go on a retreat when things blow hot and come back stronger. It has been since the inception of the world and so shall it be.

In the scriptures, we saw how Moses fled from Egypt after Pharaoh came for his life having killed an Egyptian that fought with an Israelite. He fled to Middian, settled down in Reuel's house, got married to his daughter Ziporah and gave birth to a son he called Gershom meaning “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land.”. He came back after Pharaoh died and rescued the Israelites out from bondage.

Absalom fleed from his father David when he heard that he would be killed.

It is also on record that the mighty warrior King David fled from his son too. He fled from Jerusalem and planned to regain his throne. We also know that KING David himself did not take part in the counterattack, having been persuaded by his generals to remain behind.

I can go on and on.

Here in Nigeria, we are quite familiar with such.
El Rufai pretended to be a student and escaped when Yaradua wanted his head, today he's a Governor and an icon to the Northerners.

Bola Tinubu wore Iro Ati Baba and fled from Abacha through cotonou, today he's the JAGABAN of Yorubas and worshiped like a god.
We also heard of Kayode fayemi who dressed like a fisherman and fled through idi iroko to continue his radio Kudirat attack outside the country.

But,

You want Nnamdi Kanu to stay behind with his cutlass and bottles to fight an armoured car and soldiers armed to the brim just to prove that he is immortal. You try!

It is also on record that few days ago following the killings of Biafra agitators in the South east by Operation python dance whose sole aim is to destroy and exterminate the Igbos from the surface of the earth, US constitutional lawyer Bruce Fein said that 'Nigeria has become the most dangerous place for Christians in the world right now'. What does that entail? It means that the world Is taking note.


Nigeria should even be thankful to kanu who did the wise thing by staying away from that compound. I'm sure if he drops, Nigeria will go into a full blown war by now which will suprisingly backfire for this government. This government is just careless and reckless. You're shameless fighting a man without weapons and bragging about it. We should be happy that IPOB is a peaceful group. And as such has not been armed yet.

Mandela had a military wing and used violence to fight Apartheid. They planted bombs at strategic government houses and even bombed electric supply of the whites. They even composed a song which goes 'Shoot the boer'. In 1964 during his trial, Mandela insisted on using violence as a tool. He was offered release several times including renouncing violence but he refused.

But Mandela is your hero while Kanu is a terrorist. Clap for yourself.

Hunting kanu will do Nigeria no good. They should dialogue with him and find peaceful means to calm the situation. Self determination is the sacred right of every citizen and freedom of speech is enshrined in the constitution of Nigeria. IPOB is a legal group and as such free to exercise their civil rights to agitate. In every ramifications, Kanu will defeat Nigeria hands down.

This fight won't help Nigeria rather It will bring the needed global sympathy kanu yearns for which will only help his cause. UN submit is in few days and I'm sure Biafra will be discussed. In same UN submit few years ago, it is on record that President Buhari called for self determination of Palestine and western Sahara, so turning around to shoot and kill your citizens for merely exercising their constitutional rights for self determination is quite sad, shameful, hypocritical and heartless from President Buhari.

In a nutshell, those who live today live to fight tomorrow.

May diplomacy prevail. Shalom!

Op please wait a minute.
Did Mazi Nnamdi Kanu truly run away?

Markfemi:
Just elect Faysoe as governor of Enugu and discussions will start

I will also want to see Femi Fani-Kayode as Governor of Anambra State.

Nukualofa:
Why Share a country that makes you stagnant because of cultural and religious factors.

Is the country the cause of your stagnation or self-inflicted?

The dingy Aba and Onitsha markets couldn't have necessarily been caused by the country!

Can someone now tell me, in what way is Kenya greater than Nigeria?

At least Nigeria got her Presidential elections right since independence.
