Welcome developments

InyinyaAgbaOku:
How does this defend the FG asking for 40% of the revenue?
Are you da.ft or something?

Which American universities?

Are you expecting the government to fund the universities and pay salaries without generating from the universities?

Best way to go. The America and U.K universities we want to emulate or compare ourselves to are generating revenue from huge school fees. The reason there are provisions like scholarship, loan etc to pay tuition fees

This is the autonomy the universities were fighting for. Now that it has been granted, there should be no more excuses.

Chaiiiiiii! 2 against 1, Chelsea no fit score.

Mancity go don score 10 goals by now.

Na wa oo. 11v9 Chelsea never score.

Commendable.

turmacs:
Those soldiers should be arrested and prosecuted. Why should they stop someone that wants to end their life in this miserable country? That should be a crime honestly. Someone wants to die and go and find eternal happiness in the great beyond, but you're stoping them, do you want them to keep suffering? Abi when you rescue them will you solve their problems? Please people have the right to do whatever they want to themselves.

Anyone who takes his/her life by himself/herself are destined for eternal hell fire. Nothing like eternal happiness.

ur great grandfather was not born in lagos Mr Man

Na you born am?

Antivirus92:
do you just build bridge for building sake or do you build where it is needed?

Accept it, oshogbo is a slum like most villages in the south west. We have also lived in the South west.

Nevertheless, Oshogbo is more developed than Umuahia and Abakaliki. So, it's a better village.

thatigboman:
joke of the century. Even nsukka, abiriba and arochukwu, ohaji egbeme, ekwulobia are all more developed than rural osogbo

I lived in the SE for almost a decade and I was incharge of that region and SS hence traveled to all the state capital and some towns.

No single bridge in Umuahia. Nothing dey dere. Abakaliki is even better than Umuahia and all those aforementioned places above but it's behind Oshogbo.

thatigboman:
was ur grandfather born in 1891 or 1800? I say u are common troll

My great grandfather was born before then. Olodo rabata. Was your grandfather in Lagos that year? No way.

AllDModsAreMaad:
Yes, there are certain standards a place must meet to be called a city.

Yes, Aketi has done quite a number of projects in Owo, the road dualization being the major project and that is prolly because that's his place but that doesn't in anyway give it a status of a city.

Do you even what a city is? Go and read up on that please.

I have not been there? LoL, abeg make we forget that part, you sef know sey you just dey cap with that statement.

Ilesa doesn't have major road. According to you, it is not a city. Now, Owo has major roads but not qualify to be a city. Which one you dey?

thatigboman:
just imagine the audacity of someone calling ilesa a city. A town that has only 1 road, one roundabout and 1 hotel.
And Ore that starts and ends at the lagos-benin expressway junction. Not to talk of very backward, very fetish rural osogbo.

Oshogbo is more developed than Umuahia and Abakaliki.

thatigboman:
u are just a troll. Name ur grandfather, let me name mine. Let's take it from there

Was he in Lagos before 1891 not to talk of 1800? Let's take it from there. If not, he was nobody in Lagos.

Ilesa has one hotel!? why you dey lie?

Let me debunk Ilesa first.

Where are those 3 hotels? In your village?

AllDModsAreMaad:
Just keep deceiving yourself, it is allowed.

Ilesa, a town with just one major road, i.e from adeti through the roundabout in front of their king's palace to the express is a city?

Ore, a town that all its bursting starts and stops at the Lagos-Ore-Benin axis is a city?

Mentioning Owo as a city is the height of dec eit to yourself.

Tell that to someone who has not been to these places.

This topic is is nothing but the usual media paparazzi you people are known for.

What is your definition of major road?

Every city has its strength. If that is Ore strength, does it stop grom being a city?

Owo is not a city, abi? the same Owo the present governor don turn to London.

You have not been there. Stop lying.

thatigboman:
u are just an illiterate clown. My grandfather was developing lagos while your grandfather was farming cassava in owo.
Do you know that ikeja was 32km from lagos City when lagos was federal capital?
Lagos is now a city-city state - ikeja and lekki (phase 1) are all now part of lagos city. Who why mentioning ikeja and lekki as if they are different cities that are not part of lagos city. You should kuku add fadeyi, surulere, yaba, oyingbo, vi, ikoyi etc.
Hear it, this osogbo marabout - Lagos has never, is not and will never be part of SW. It's a British protectorate and former federal capital of Nigeria developed by the white man and igbos.

Who was your grandfather in Lagos state? Nobody knows him but if I mention mine great grandfather here na everybody sabi am.

Your grandfather built bridges, roads, banks, street lights, ports, telephone, etc in 1890s? dey deceive yourself.

Whay is his name?

Oga, 32km or not, Ikeja was never part of Lagos until Lagos state was formed. So, because Arepo is just 40km from Eko, Arepo is now part of Lagos? Olodo rabata.

Ikeja, Lekki, Ikorodu, Epe are different from Eko though they are part of Lagos state. Learn mr man.

Eko now what you call Lagos composes of Lagos Island, V/I, Ikoyi while Surulere, Yaba were suburb of Lagos. Olodo rabata.

They deceive yourself there. Carry Lagos go join your village.

If white man developed Lagos na with ya money?

85% investment and properties in Lagos state are owned by the South Westerners. The rest belongs to the rest.

thatigboman:
first remove all those towns in lagos. Lagos is a mega city. 1 city. U don't have to name all streets in lagos and call them SW cities individually. Lagos is not, has never, and will never be part of SW. A British protectorate, developed by whitemen and igbos.
Remove all towns in Kogi and Kwara states. They are in NC, not SW. Of the remaining ones, demarcate those that are towns and those that are cities let's see.

Since, you are not an indigene of Lagos state, you don't know cities and towns in Lagos state. So, rest.

What is the capital of Lagos state? Ikeja

Does Ikeja look like a street to you?

Lekki, Epe, Badagry, Ikorodu etc are cities on their own. Rest.

Ignoramus! Where were Ikeja, Ilupeju, Ikorodu doing the regional system of government? Western region.

Who developed Ikeja, Ilupeju etc from the scratch? Western region. Olodo

Out of 100% investment and properties in Lagos state, South westerners owns 85% the rest are shared among rest.

Any question?

DeLaRue:
All I am saying is railways will work in Lagos and Ibadan, or in that triangle between Lagos State, Ogun State and Oyo State.

Osun, Ondo, Ekiti have no need for trains at this point. The roads in these states are mostly empty. They are ok with road transportation for the next 20 - 25years.

The South West development agency should focus on practical priorities of education, health, road repairs and construction etc

Trains are super expensive to construct and maintain. And it is not needed in these other States.

This Chairman guy making all these promises is a Commissioner in Ondo State. That state has been owing civil servants salaries since Mimiko era (8 years), and the backlog has still not been cleared. He is not looking for ways to boost economic growth in his State to increase IGR to pay workers salaries but he is disturbing our peace with fake lies about building railways to 44 imaginary cities

Having a railway that will transverse SW region will bring development to those cities rapidly. Reason is many SW will relocate to more affordable cities while working in another expensive cities.

Likewise, farmers can transport their goods to other cities to sell then return to their city.

Lagos will be decongested if visibly.

You don't seems to understand.

DeLaRue:
If it is by size, Ilesa might qualify as a city. No disrespect to Ilesa, but you'll have to admit its infrastructure is not that of a modern city.

Owo is an ancient town with a proud history and people. I tespect Owo, but it will be hard for anyone to claim it has the attributes of a city. Big town, yes.

As for Ore, I have only driven past it, but it left very little impression on me. No doubt a great place for the people living there, but I doubt it qualifies as a city.

Have you been there recently?

DeLaRue:
O Lord, help us.

In what planet are Ore, Owo, Ilesa etc cities.

And Kabba, Lokoja, Offa etc are SW cities? And did people in these towns tell you rail transportation is the priority.

So we need to spend billions to build rail lines to Eko Atlantic so that people who bought billion naira plots and drive Range Rovers, G Wagon, Lexus 600 LX can use train? Or will the train be for their servants and House maids.

Bro, I am telling you many primary & secondary school kids in Osun, Ondo, Oyo, and Ekiti are in 60-plus students classrooms, and some large General hospitals treating thousands of patients per day have less that 5 doctors, you are suggesting the priority should be building railways to Eko Atlantic?

Don't let politicians deceive you.

Who is the railway for since rich and poor cities don't need it according to you?

DeLaRue:

Don't let politicians deceive you.

Na still Messi win am na

2023 FIFA best player award? Not yet concluded.

andrewbaba44:
If you are the best player and you are Asian you will win it so rest

Is Messi an European ?
Is R9 an European ?

Rest egbon

The same way Salah won it in 2016/2017 and 2018/2019 season, abi?


Ballon'dOr ceased to be the best award after they separated from FIFA since 2015.

Ballon'dOr is not the highest award for a football player rather FIFA best man of year award is.

It's an European award. The reason players from other continent hardly win it.

Fredoh:
Why then is balloon d’or more valuable?

To Europeans. Besides, it became popular since it was merged with FIFA award from 2009 - 2015. Nevertheless, it's not the highest award in the world. FIFA award remains the best.
