The South is generating the resources that feed this nation but all the railways are built in the North. Buharii is even justifying that Nigeria - Niger railway is very important for economic reasons. What a country!

The Summary is that Southern leaders and politicians are fo0ls.. don't be surprised that the Ministers or whoever they send to defend building of railway in Niger Republic from Nigeria's pocket are Southerners with no rail track or railway master plan in their region/state.

I don't know what Niger as a country has that warrant wasting billions on railway there. Lagos and Ogun state economies are by far bigger than that of Niger Republic.

Look at the nonsense they were taking Chinese loans to build, ceding off Nigeria's sovereignty like m0rons.. despicable set of people.

. Apart from armchair noise
What is your proposed fix? What has all this noise got to do with ownership structure?
Are you saying the Port should be scrapped? What exactly is your proposed way forward?

Had it been you read my initial post carefully, you would have seen that I didn't entirely condemn the Lekki seaport, instead was pointing out what could possibly go wrong should we treat the security there with kids gloves.

There was a time Nigeria market got flooded with fake Bama mayonnaise where other brands (possibly expired) were imported in large numbers and Bama's label was used to sell them to unsuspecting Nigerians.

Nobody is against Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) but the question here is.. are your citizens and youths protected?
What steps is the govt. taking to "protect" the citizens?

I hate one sided economics. A sea port is designed to Send out and Receive!!! Not just receive but also send out. Your youth can also export to other countries, this is an Avenue for a more efficient way of exporting stuff will less chaos that has plagued the Tin Can. This is also designed to be a hub of destination for Central and other West African countries, you know what that means

I get your point perfectly.. we use ports to send out and receive.
Be frank in your response, can you campare what enters Nigeria with what Nigeria Exports to other countries? the gap is huge

Take the Free Zones for example, most companies are running there to establish because of "freedom from tax and whatnot"., whereas the free zones are designed for exports only. Any company in free Zone e.g Lekki has to pay duty and levies to bring in their products to Lagos, Ogun and other parts of the country but is that the case today?

We tend to bastardize so many thing in this country and that is why nothing works anymore.

Excruciating is an understatement..

No be Mazi Kanu home state be that?.. Awon ndi biafura.

omonnakoda:
Why are Iboes so spiteful and envious?
There is nothing linking this port or its ownership to obligation to buy Chinese products
On the other hand there is nothing to say existing ports do not facilitate flooding with Chinese products
Countries without Chinese ports are flooded too.

China is an INVESTOR in the port just like the US,Netherlands are investors in our oil and gas
sector
The port will be OPERATED BY A FRENCH COMPANY NOT CHINESE.

This is the major port in Nigeria designed for export processing.
If we do not want to be flooded we must manufacture
MTN presence in Nigeria has not made us slaves of SA

I'm more Yoruba than you will ever be.. arguing blindly won't make you win arguments.

It is in this same Nigeria that ships enter our shores, load stolen crude oil and leave unnoticed, it's still in this same Nigeria that a pipeline used for crude oil theft got uncovered in the Niger Delta after several years of oil theft.

Reality will dawn on you when about 80 percent of Nigerians become jobless with non-existent industries.

It's the oversabi of people like you that wrecked the Cotton and Textiles industry in Nigeria till date. Education, Health sectors now in shambles.

While the Lekki seaport may seem like something laudable, let's consider the downsides for a moment.. Nigeria through the Lekki ports will become flooded with Chinese products made and packaged in China.What happpens to our young graduates? Which industries will they work in when sooner or later, the industries go extinct from ihigh nflation rate, high costs of diesel etc.

The Chinese TV is right about job creation in China because of the over 200 million Nigerians that will have no other options than to embrace China-made goods in the future. See where corruption has landed us in Africa.

China had nothing when Nigeria discovered oil and started production in Oloibiri.. Same China today is gradually colonizing not just Nigeria but Africa as a whole.

Forget.. all those Northerners in APC and PDP are secretly working for Atiku. Their 'born to rule' mentality is what will likely divide Nigeria.

We all saw how Northerners rose against GEJ claiming it was the North's turn. There are even allegations that they brought in mercenaries to breakup Nigeria should GEJ return to power..now that power is supposed to shift South by right, they are telling us stories.

@OP Sense dey this your post.. this 2023 will be a pointer to so many things in Nigeria including possible breakup (which I don't pray for).

Some quarters in SW are about launching "ijangbara" according to NBC.. What that translates to is 'preparation for war' in Yoruba language.

The reason Nigeria didn't breakup in the sixtes was because Awo and Yorubas didn't want breakup. Our people still had hope things might work, else Ojukwu and the Igbos would have succeded in breaking up Nigeria. It was like two parties aganst one party that wanted breakup.

Now imagine a case of one party versus two parties wanting to breakup. Northerners better borrow sense and thread with caution. Nigeria belongs to us all.

Nigeria will never ban imports due to ECOWAS so whats ur point? nigeria is too arrogant, while they are sleeping. other countries are surpassing them. when nigeria looks up, it will be like Somalia. tons of potential but a complete waste

Sooner or later, Nigeria will repeal the ECOWAS agreement cos we ain't benefiting from it.. We're just wasting Nigerian tax payers money to fund ECOWAS while other nationals take all the jobs.
Go to ECOWAS mission in Abuja and see foreigners everywhere. I've asked severally, what exactly is the point?

Look at UN for example with all the power to veto US holds there.. same should be the case with Nigeria and ECOWAS. Nigeria can't have a single vote just like Ghana in ECOWAS, it's absurd and counter-productive.

We need right thinking leaders to end the injustice once and for all. Let Nigeria take her rightful place among the comity of Nations.. I'm talking of G20 countries with likes of United States and Russia.

No be Peter Obi home state be that? Mr new Nigeria.. frying pan to fire.

You can't see husband.. No be swear, na fact.

Once a girl can't learn to close her legs and say No to every tom, dick and harry that comes her way.. Na like this their life dey jagajaga.

Na man will put a liability in his house with the harsh economic situation in the country. He hasn't put ring on your finger and you go get belle, you no get sense.

Ghana is making real moves to become the premier nation of West Africa through things like the Year of Return and attracting global billion dollar companies.

While Nigeria is STILL dealing with Boko Haram since 2002 and ISWAP.

Just like how Singapore a mere city can defeat Nigeria in a war, Ghana has already surpassed Nigeria currently.

Yeah right..

Ghana still depends on Nigeria's gas and opened borders to survive.

Forget all the paper economics and hype.. Ghanians still have a lot to learn from Nigeria.

All those companies and businesses running to Ghana are targeting Nigeria's population of over 200 million people to sell their goods and services. Just one policy of government will finish them all should Nigeria decide to place ban on imports (tho. difficult cos of ECOWAS treaty). We know the game that is playing, just than once a big brother, always a big brother.

Let Nigeria repeal the ECOWAS treaty she is signatory to and watch Ghana's economy and those of other smaller countries in West Africa fall like a pack of cards.

Nigeria remains the giant of Africa and big brother to Ghana and other smaller countries.

paxx:
Lagos is 1,171 km², while Ghana is 238,540 km².

Ok . you sha get the point. Ghana is way smaller than Nigeria and that's what matters.

My own question to all these thieves we are plagued with in Nigeria is this.. will you take a dime (or even a kobo) with you when you die?

Why don't you evil politicians think of the day you'd die.. Whyyyy

Some with all the billions and trillions they have acquired, it's cloth they use to wrap them when sending them back to mother Earth. Just sad how greed and fo0lishness is ruining Africa and African lives.

Hey!

I tried hard not to call you a simp.

But I couldn’t help it.

Away from that.

What concerns me with the apostle.

I can’t remember when I went to church last

And it was even one of the same useless Nigerian girl you are trying so hard to defend that dragged me there.

I had to stop attending because this said girl said she’s not ready for relationship but all her friends are guys.

The wèrè of a girl wanted to friendzone me.

I moved ahead sharply.

Might be that you were not ready to 'do' or you were 'dulling' as dem bad girls love to say.. reason she friendzoned you. church girl o, club girl o, na so all of them be.

See one of the bad girls in a mess now.. they always think they are wise but na dem mum.u pass.

Ghana is not up to a state in Nigeria (with 36 states + FCT).. Lagos with the smallest land mass is bigger than Ghana.

The solution to Nigeria's insecurity problem is simple.. State and/or regional policing with restructuring. Waiting for someone at the centre to be giving orders and all, can't and won't solve the security challenges in a big country like Nigeria. This is not sixties for crying out loud, we need to wake up to realities.

Any governor crying insecurity is a goat and a thief cos they all have security votes (in billions) to secure their states but they are all keeping the money in their accounts. Federal can't police all at once.. States and Local govt. too should wake up and be proactive.

Uneva C. Enitin

When you were slaying & spreading pucci everywhere like wifi, you felt on top of the world.

You better put your house abi na kpekus in order & start saying your last prayer.

More of these I wish for those girls of your caliber.

It’s Nigerian girls don’t know the damage they have done.

In fact, it will get to time in future Nigerian girls will be relegated to the very bottom of the shelf like women in Somalia.

Very useless & irritating set of people.

Sheepie take am easy..

She dey spread pucci like wifi, na im your randy pastor abi apostle go connect.
Awon iranse satani

Women of this generation are making it seem as if all of them are indeed useless but it's not so. we still have sensible, well manered ladies among them.

This Suleman hands no clean atal.. this is like the sixth lady or so coming out to accuse him of sexual immoralities.

Isn't this the same man that escaped assassination recently? Suleman wey dey do like Sule dey loose guard, your nemesis is near.

I don't know the problem with all these churchy people.. Na dem do ashaw0 pass, no shame, no morals, just preaching nonsense sermon they don't practice. Fvcking hypocrites!

@OP Your lady neighbor too is irresponsible for bringing live dlck into her apartment. You sure say no be snatch she sef snacth the guy?

Use your head o, make you no go enter gbege

This is clearly a Igbo+North affair.. ethnic bigot Obi won't hesitate to fill all Southern slots at Federal with Igbos, while Hausa/Fulanis get their entitlements..
It has happened before during GEJ's tenure and it can happen again with this bigot who mandated Northerners to always wear identity cards in Anambra as if they are not Nigerians while his own kinsmen move about freely across the country.

Marklarger:
To all the Yorubas forming woke,can u now see clearly that igbos don’t love u n can never love u

They are decieving u that they would have preferred osinbajo but same people call osinbajo a fake pastor

The same people that hated awolowo,abiola n now tinubu are still d same person trying to turn your back against your people,what igbos do in Yoruba land n u woke Yorubas hail them u dare not do half of it in their region before they remove your head for u

History is about to repeat itself now,Peter obi is campaigning freely but they are issuing threats that tinubu dare not step foot into south east n u are still forming woke

Use your head n get d fact that the Fulani and the igbos are d same,the only difference is that the igbos don’t have federal power

00lThe same people who mocked Yorubas then for being stupid on awolowo case n later said he took rat poison are still d same people who mocked abiola

Will u allow history to repeat itself by forming civil for people who never for once loved u

U think they love u now because they need your votes,many of those supporting obi today check their nairaland comments a year ago n see clearly their intention about Nigeria

Yoruba ronu a man who hates your father can never like u.

It's only Northerners that understand the situation of Nigeria and what it takes to survive.. the Yorubas of old have failed their duties to teach younger generation Yorubas history and sense.

Those who do not learn from history are do0med to repeat it... with the way a particular section of the country is going, threatening other presidential aspirants and those who have opposing views to theirs, a pogrom or civil unrest might likely happen again.

Leave the Yorubas forming woke na.. our people call them 'adorun m'oto'. They will eventually bite the dust from their own fo0lishness. Victor Banjo that made that mistake realized his at the point of death in the hands of those he fought for and led their biafran army.

Seems these 'omo ales' were hibernating during GEJ's tenure that marginalized our people.. I honestly don't know where this fo0lishness is coming from.

Do you bastards want to make Yorubas fifth class citizens in this 'dog eat dog' country or what exactly? When things go south, you won't see them on Social media anymore.

Wetin concern ab0ki.. na one way traffic for most of them.

I'm surprised that all ye LekkiLies propellers have gone quiet.. wasn't that you people's aim to discredit Tinubu or any Yoruba contesting in 2023.

God don shame una.. how a private citizen can order Military to attack protesters and Peter Obi a sitting governor was absolved of Akwuzu killings still beats me.

All una propaganda don fail.. We won't allow you kill our leaders like the Yorubas of old allowed you evil lots murder MKO Abiola and his wife Kudirat.

lendahand:
I've come to conclude that women are capable of anything. They have little or no capacity for deep reasoning...

What majority of them do now especially in Abuja is that they look for silly excuses to separate from their husbands in the guise of "wanting to be free" just so they can be sleeping around with their ex boyfriends and any cute guy that comes their way. Ho0kup too is another motivation for them breaking up their marriages.

The problem with most single mums of nowadays is that they tend to make bad choices most of the time and end up falling into the hand of bad guys.. women are moved by what they hear and will fall helplessly for a smooth male liar.

This is why you can see some of them having like 4-5 kids from different men and still be looking for true love. A guy that truly cares is somewhere there o, but they won't look at him or show interest.

@Madam Remi.. We have tried muslim-christian just as we tried christian-muslim ticket too.
Voting muslim-muslim ticket in this era and time with what is happening in the North would be fo0lishness on our part. I don't think Middle belt will subscribe to this.

One pertinent question is.. Would the muslim populated North ever allow a christian-christian ticket?
Deborah's murdercase is still there and the killers walking about freely.

One thing I'm yet to understand about women is.. Why marry when you know that ol0sho is your calling.

Most men reading this don't know the kind of dirty stuffs their lawfully wedded wives engage in behind their back. I've seen things that weakened me to the marrow especially with churchy SU ladies.

I am the type that you can't intimidate or shake easily..

There is one incident I remember from way back.

Story time..

Ok so back in Uni, when I was in 500L, there was this roommate (in 100L or 200L) that was so unruly and troublesome.. I think he had issues with some other room members and I had to give him serious warning as the finalist among them..  I don't know maybe it's the frat thing that got into his head that he felt he could behave anyhow. Long story short, he went to inform his "people", pointed me out and all that, some came around and were patrolling the hall.. It happened that their head, a 400L guy in Law (tho. mature guy) got to know it was me and had to put the boy in check. I knew when he (their head) entered school as he was always greeting me like 4yrs back in Biobaku hall. I was in 200L already doing things while he was a fresher.
Their past head na my Department guy (a year ahead of me so had graduated), huge built guy like that but na still we we and we relate well on a norm.

The whole thing sha died down before it even started and the guy (200L boy) came back to his senses and behaved himself later on. I even met his dad when he came to visit before I left and was even showering nice words on the boy. Funny right.

Many years have passed now since that incident.. 10+ yrs If I'm correct.

That's why I do advice people to say no to cultism.. no go fight your destiny helper all in the name of hard man.

Wetin do Arakunrin?.. may God lay his healing hands on him and make him whole. Amen.

That said, madam Befty should better calm down.. Ondo no be Imo.
