I am not here to contend whether or not Chidoka built the money from legit means, my position is that simply because you 'donated to God' doesn't suddenly justify the evil (if it is gotten by illegitimate means). After all, obedience is better than sacrifice...

Don't judge Goliath's strength by David's size, it is not the size of the man that matters, it is the man in the size that counts...kudos Lagos!

Now we know who created Boko Haram, sebi we dey talk am since!

The governor, his children and all his kins will not be treated here, that is the sad fact.

How will Nigeria grow in infrastructural development if a repository of iron ore abound and cannot be explored?

We have been committing billions to the project since the 70s to no avail...if it aint working, scrap it. No need flogging a dead horse.

Duhhhhhhhh! You just dey know?

should we still be talking about Ajaokuta steel in 2016? abeg that thing should be scrapped and the entire complex turned to a university or some specialised institution. Ajaokuta ko, ajangbadi ni! Better still, let's sell it to Dangote, Otedola or Orji Uzor Kalu, they have proven to be better managers of businesses than our otondo leaders.

I hope they are from Innoson?

See this guy o! What you need is not change of location, what you need is change of orientation...a lizard in Nigeria will not suddenly become an alligator in America. I don talk my yown!

The sad truth is, he has not been missed.

Redefining traditional leadership! God bless you Kabiyesi! May your reign last long, and may it usher in peace, development and cultural rebirth to the Yoruba Nation. Long live O'dua Republic! Long live Nigeria!

And why did you bring this to the social media? So you do not have 'physical' social network of friends to discuss such issues with? I know you blanked the so-called Jenny's face, but you insulted her by bringing a private issue to the public fore. Grow up dude! I think now I know why she wouldn't date you.

Someone asked me whether he should buy a land in Agbowa Ikorodu or Lekki-the money to buy a plot in Lekki would buy 5 acres in parts of Agbowa. I told him to wait till the rainy season to make up his mind; I hope he has his answer now...ka Chineke me ezeokwu!

Fayose CANNOT meet these conditions, quote me.

I like this, it is a welcome development. I only have two points to raise here: 1. I hope the state is self-sufficient in the products it is exporting? You can only export when your locals have enough to go round and can reasonably afford them 2. I only hope and pray that some drug peddlers will not seize the 'opportunity' to transport drugs to the mentioned countries in the guise of export? Let's not allow these greedy people spoil things wey don dey better small small o! I don talk my yown.

Welldone bro, at least you are not carrying placards around with a sense of entitlement. God will bless the works of your hands, you will grow from a car wash to a car sales spot and ultimately to a car producer in Jesus name.

The southwest is known for peace, harmony and tolerance; Aregbesola and his cohorts (including CAN and SCIA) in Osun should not sow an unwanted seed of discord in the Yoruba Nation, posterity will not forgive him (them) and his (their) generation if this senselessness degenerates to inter-religious skirmishes. I don talk my yown.

This is healthy! I prefer this to a government of 'yes men'. This happens in civilised economies, people from the same party can disagree on strategies, but share similar ideologies. Just yesterday, Hillary Clinton disagreed with Obama on strategies adopted for gun control. This is healthy, only wailers will see it as a crack in the wall.

Osinbajo was commissioner for Justice in Lagos for 8 years, he has been in the service of Lagos state government for even longer. The fact that these men do not believe in the country they serve aches me to my marrow; so they expect my children to attend UNILAG and LASU when they shamelessly ship theirs abroad abi? Even Atiku built a university he called world class, but sent his children abroad to study. What about Buhari who spent billions to refurbish Aso clinic but went to London to treat an ear infection? Can we forget Akpabio's 'world class' hospital that couldn't treat his knee injury? The way our so-called leaders treat us is unacceptable, it is hurting bad. Someday, very soon, the hunter will become the hunted. Very soon...

How this one take epp the students na?

This has nothing to do with PHCN or the 'Nigerian factor', this is clearly stupidity, mediocrity and a lack of professionalism at its highest level. These guys know the power situation in the country, why run such an event on public power? How much diesel do you need for a 4 hour event? I won't be surprised if someone refused to buy diesel just because they wanted to make extra money...greed, incompetence and balderdash. Nonsense!

Thank you for the pictures Desmond, can you please list your achievements? I hope we are not using tax payers money to make you fat and flamboyant?

laurel500:
My brother lets look at it this way... Let the Niger delta control their resource and give Nigeria (30)% derivation and let NNPC be the corporation that controls that derivation and lets see how they would fair... As for NDDC, NDM, amnesty and the rest we don't need them. They are just insincere duplication of each other.

A resource is the right of the people wherever found. Imagine The Governor of state crying that his state is broke and cannot pay salaries to his own state workers because another region has unrest over its own resource, this means that if the Niger delta region continues with their quest for resource control for the next year every other state will go broke and that's parasitism in its empirical form.

We cannot play blind to the fact the people of the delta are not just sympathetic to what the NDA are about but are in support of what is to be achieved though the method is what everyone seems to condemn.

The real cry is not secession but control... Let everyone control his whatever and watch Nigeria blossom.
Na wao my talk Long o.

Awesome point! Thank you

At least they are talking. I understand their plight, but I am not convinced of their sincerity. The problem is beyond the FG, the problem is within the Delta. 13% derivation, NDDC, Niger Delta Ministry, Amnesty etc. and still their is no development whatsoever in the region to point to, it is clearly beyond the FG. The Avengers will gain my respect when the start asking their leaders to account for the huge resources they have got and are still getting, they should plead with Jonathan to explain why he could not build an airport in Bayelsa or refurbish the Port Harcourt International Airport to world standard despite been in the saddle for six years. They should ask Tompolo where he got money from to build structures worth 13 billion Naira and why Asari Dokubo chose to build a multi-billion dollar university in Benin Republic, when Niger Delta University is a glorified secondary school. It is beyond the FG, it is within the Delta. I respect the fact that they are talking, at least we can jaw jaw, but they should be realistic in their demands, and put the Niger Delta and its people first, beyond selfish interest. I don talk my yown!

Senator Bruce, Bayelsa can no longer fund Niger Delta University because of paucity of funds...I am expecting a tweet to that effect, not a picture with an ex beauty queen...that is commonsense!

monex:
he said Stephen Keshi led us to victory and we couldn't have done it without him. that should mean that the major factor for winning the cup was not GEJ but Keshi. Now how is that scoring a cheap political point?

that was an excellent tweet. you should bury your head in english books.

Did he need to say he was Nigeria's leader at the time the trophy was won? How is that relevant to the issue at hand? If you feel Jonathan is lonely at the shame republic, you can join him...

Hilarious! Canopies, cameras, aso ebi, after party and half day at work simply because a 100m street road is about to be commissioned? It is officials folks, Nigeria needs deliverance. Chai!

"I was Nigeria's leader when Stephen Keshi led us to AFCON victory"...Jonathan listing one of his numerous 'achievements'...what a looser! As usual, typical of the clueless kleptomaniac, he is trying to score a cheap political point with a legend's death. Whoever helped him type that tweet should bury his/her head in shame.

This is the reason the inhabitants of the Red Dust Republic and their deranged kins from the Oyel Republic will continue to be backward, underdeveloped and bitter-they wonder why the Yoruba nation is in peace, in fact, they are envious! That is why they celebrated and almost declared a public holiday when Hausas and Yoruba traders had minor skirmishes in Mile 12. The more you hate the Yorubas, the more we progress and stay united...while Abia is busy deporting Imo indigenes because they are 'non-indigenes' and Ijaws are killing itshekiri because of oyel. Nonsense!

We are quick to scream 'ban the Indians too' when actually we have ourselves to blame. I doubt there is any nation on earth with image as battered as ours; in South Africa, Germany, India and even small African countries, we are famed drug peddlers and lousy braggarts. I hate to be ethnically selective, but 90% are of a particular ethnic stock. There was a time our uncles told us they washed plates, cleaned airports and even worked as mortuary attendants to make a living abroad, it was with their hard earned proceeds that they built houses and educated their entire clan. Today, Nigerians are too proud to do menial jobs and they somewhat believe there is no legitimate means of irking a living abroad. Something is wrong with us; even our family values are skewed...how do you explain a family that offers thanksgiving in church for their 'wonderful' son who built a mansion after only 6 months abroad?

EngrKen8:
Freeborn, while writing and trying to pass across whatever message you were trying to, did it ever occur to you that he might not be business inclined? If by what you wrote, you also schooled abroad and held down a 20 hour a week job, then you should know that some(most) times, the only thing that kind of job can pay for is rent and basic utility bills. I doubt it's just me, but your post came across not just only as destructive rather than constructive, but also as one from a hateful/bitter person who just felt like typing.

Thank you EngrKen8 for your message. Firstly, I am NOT and Can NEVER be bitter, I don't know the guy, we are not competing for anything, for all it's worth, I attended a more prestigious school abroad (by the grace of God), I have nothing to be hateful or bitter about. I am just appalled at the current trend of 'graduates' invading the social media in search of jobs with a haughty sense of entitlement. There are millions of young Nigerians who graduate daily from prestigious universities both home and abroad, if they (we) all take placards seeking jobs, don't you think twitter, lindaikejiblog and nairaland will crash? Again, there is no such thing as business inclined, every man (and woman) is born with a survival instinct, that part of you that seeks survival, independent of external assistance or handouts. I did not intend to disparage the young man, I apologise if I came across as such. Fact is, an education is not a job guarantee, it is supposed to be a KEY to success, it is your responsible to look for the DOOR. Selah!

You did not empty the treasury, you almost did...you supervised the nation's most brazen pilferage of our commonwealth. Even Abacha would bow to you in awe! I blame the West for trying to carve on a rotten wood; nothing they say will change the fact that Jona was a certified kleptomaniac who set the stage for our current quagmire.
