OMG, a distance of less than 500m you cant walk.You are very lazy. It is just same distance if you get off piccadilly circus tube station and your office is on Jermyn street.People who are very affluent walk that distance everyday

daezeangel:
I agree with you completely but the problem remains. How do I get to work tomorrow? How do I get home? My office is at Ligali Ayorinde, V.I. I usually get to Eko hotel round about then take keke to Ligali, there's no other means of transportation. Same story after work ... so how the heck am I supposed to get to work 2morrow...

God bless you for this beautiful piece.You have spoken the mind of all rational people.

AngryIgboMan:
These keke people were a total and complete Nuisance. They constituted a whole lot of mess in Lagos.

Does Okada ride in Tokyo, Japan, Beijing, Berlin or New York?

Even, is Okada in Onitsha? Why would Okada be allowed in Ikeja the seat of government?

For those saying crime rate will increase, thats unless Lagos state government is clueless and stuppid. Sanwo Olu is smart though as far as I know and a very hardworking governor. You can deny this if you want... But the heavy volume of work going on Lagos roads speaks for itself.

Obiano the drunkard (My state Governor Onye Onwu Nkwu) banned Okada in Anambra. Did heavens fall? Rochas even went to the extent of banning keke in the entire state. Did crime rate increase? Was okada not banned in Nnewi even with the rate of billionaire Okada importers from that axis? Did anybody die?

What most of you don't know is that Nigeriens, Chadians, Sudanese, Malians and Somalians took over South West without anybody knowing! It was gradual, crude and definite.... But they were almost succeeding before I believe Sanwo Olu stepped in. At a time, I was asking myself if there is no regulatory body managing these people in Lagos anymore.

They virtually took over Lagos with there stuppid, crazy and mannerless style of driving. They felt like Lords of the city and if you try to caution them, they will bow there heads in foolishness to thank you. But in there hearts, they were calling you Mumu after scratching your car.

What is Keke doing in Victoria Island the financial and industrial hub of Lagos? Who even brought this useless and worthless contraption called Keke to Nigeria? India that manufactures these nonsense made moves to regulate them.

Google Indian roads and see how organized keke driving is. But in Lagos, its madness! They will keep on creating multiple lanes that cause traffic, scratching peoples car with no mercy, hitting pedestrians with reckless abandon while using there Okada and useless keke to rob at night!

I ask again, is Lagos no longer a city? Why is there no Okada in Tokyo, Japan, Beijing, Berlin, Stuttgart, Dubai, Osaka, Chicago or New York?

Sanwo Olu if you are reading this, its not much about making these laws. Its about enacting and enforcing these laws! Enforce the ban and see sanity return to Lagos! But do make available more organized and well tailored Public system of transportation and movement! If Eastern Governors banned Keke and Okada and heavens did not fall, NOTHING DO YOU.

NB

By the way if you are a Lagosian driver reading this be it commercial or private, please always be road disciplined when driving! Stick to your lane for crying out loud and stop maneuvering like a morron. All of us will get there. E.g is Oba Akran enroute Ikeja bridge. If you know you are climbing the bridge, stick to the left. If you are going under bridge, stick to the right! The mouth or entrance of the bridge can only take one car. Stop tail gating! Don't create multiple lanes and then try to merge at the mouth of the bridge. Thats very stuppid and morronic in my opinion. As you go to the mouth of the bridge to drag it with the rightful owners, you end up defeating the purpose for which you created the muliple lanes! More traffic build up and more hold up!

That aside and For those quoting me and saying "Why am I working and investing in Lagos and why not the East"... My answer is very simple.

Lagos gave my life some meaning that our five hopeless Eastern Governors never gave me. Infact, Sanwo Olus government has been so good to Mainland Lagos where I do busines. Why would I hate him? Why bite fingers that is trying to give my life a meaning? Infact, more of Gods blessings and protection on him as I believe he is taking Lagos to its original plan which in my opinion, AMBODE ABANDONED.

You are a joke,Oman Real equals 700k. The strongest currency in the world still remain the pound sterling and 700 quid is about 320k. Buzz off with your infantile rant.

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn niggarrr

Who gives a fuckkk about America!

Real niggarrrz don't even think of going to America
Real niggarrrz go to dope countries like Qatar, Bahrain, Oman not some overrated dogg shitt like America
When it comes to tourism, education and business just enter those dope Arab nation

Especially when it comes to making dope money..just go to Bahrain or Oman and do your dope shitt and your money start growing like grass.
I was shocked last year to receive 700 omani rial from a client only for me to get to the bank and it was almost seven hundred and twenty thousand naira.

Hope you feel better Padre Lukas.I guess the Visa denial brings joy to the heart and I know out of the abundance of the heart the mind speaketh.

FrLukas:
Spin doctors. Ekare. I wonder why anyone would want to cook up such lie. That's because they won't.

We all know the bishop lying. Otherwise, wassa big deal in visa denial if not that it has become a status symbol for the rich and powerful in Nigeria.

The curse of big-manism.

It was Thisday not Sahara. Thisday has to issue apology and sanction the reporter that filed the story. If not anybody with a link to that newspaper will find it tough to get a Visa into US.

Katuul:
SO SAHARA REPORTERS ARE SAYING NONSENSE OR WHAT?

Oyedepo,Tunde Bakare and Segun Adeniyi were born by Muslim parents.

RexTramadol1:
Sheriff?



That's a person from Muslim background

This Day newspaper is social media right or SM has another meaning.Please dont use support any means to restrict free speech.You could be the first victim.

Bolustical:
When the bill to regulate the social media was proposed, guess who first criticized it.

Oyedepo is now a victim of fake news

SM bill would have cured all this madness but we muse politicize things in Nigeria.

Oyedepo should carry his L away.

You rejoice in bad news or what.The embassy said it is fake new but because of the disdain for the Bishop you want to believe it is true.The embassy will never put out inaccurate information or account of an even.So rest easy man.

Can there be smoke without fire

Never knew a movie could be sweet.

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn niggarrr
Be a real niggarrr and make that saloon looks dope so that we real niggarrrs can come and get a nice hair cut

This reminds me of the movie "barber's shop" by icecube
I enjoyed that movie sha. Even Nicky Minaj dey the movie
Barbers shop 1
Barber's shop 2( back in business)
Barbers shop 3( the next cut)

You all need to watch that movie. Very sweet

If op can create such funny saloon environment like the one done by ice cube in that movie then i won't mind coming down from Benin city to Lagos to get a nice cut. The distance is not my problem. Have actually travelled to ikorodu to meet my cousin and his niggars just to smoke weed. We smoked that day ehnnn. It was all through the night

He must be depressed to have uttered such statements or probably a deportee from the states.

tundeb303:
Funny.
look who's talking.. a Nigerian from the
Deepest of shitholes.

You called people of your father's age seeking for their protection foolish.Do you know or understand what they are passing through.It was strictly a residential areas before these factories moved there.Where do you want these old men and pensioners to move to when their lives are being threatened?

Union Bank: Big, Strong and Reliable

They are no where to be found today with poor customer service and old faces @the counter.

I have never seen any beautiful customer service rep (Lady or Man) @Union Bank till date.

Walk like it is done all over the world.When you get off the tube in central London,or Metro in NY Manhattan,there is no keke or okada.If your office is 1km away from the station you have to walk.Are you that lazy that you cant walk from EKO hotel to Ligali Ayorinde or Etim Inyang less than 500m away?

Kekereekun123:
This is madness. How do you get to work from eko hotel if not bike or keke marwa ehn.

Point of correction: He did not study law but Islamic law the reason he did not go to law school.

Doubleoh7:
You don't sound like you read the judgement either except you did indeed read it but the APC partisanship virus will not let you sound objective. In that same judgement, you will see that Hope claimed he has records of 388 units that were excluded, police submitted their own copies for 368 units while during cross examination of witness, the DCP who tendered the documents mentioned 358 units hence the reason the lower courts thrashed this witness as being unreliable. It was the same double speaking unreliable witness that sharia Tanko's panel saw nothing wrong in the multiple speakings and conveniently choose to accept Hope's version of 388 units. Like the guy u mentioned rightly said, in the face of glaring irregularities and unreliable witnesses, the best a learned judge out to give justice would have done is to order a rerun and not prove to the whole world that indeed you had F9 in English and Maths in your O'level exam results for which you gained admission into the university to study law.

Best comment I have read on this board in a while. Aston Universiry my alma mater has a single building (the largest brick building in Europe) only the business school ,lEngineering labs,library and sports centre are the other study related structures.The rest of the buildings are all student accommodation and students union building.The facilities in that building on 22 floors is more than what I have seen in any Nigerian univeristy .Same single structure facility I have seen at Esc grand Ecole Toulouse and Columbia NY where I underwent study visits .
Meanwhile my great Ife where I started my journey had 5km drive through just for ambience purposes with attendant cost of maintenance .I learnt Unilorin is 10km!!! What a monumental waste of valuable land.
Universiry is not about brick buildings but contents .Harvard and Princeton endowments are both more than Nigeria's budget individually at $40b and $26b respectively. The whole Harvard inclusive of accommodation is just on about 200acres of land. In NIgeria I often hear argument of ABU has space more than Ife etc. Really laughable.

adonainana:
Archictecture wise

I think Nigeria has a long way to go from non public conscious designs to very familiar designs and waste of space

One day a nigeria unniversity would build a single building that would have all the department and all the faculty of that university in just that one building. It would have numerous lifts to different floors and even perhaps an underground parking space.

So hence this way that building only needs to consume electricity from one source and everything in one building

No need building 30 buildings on acres of land upon land and calling it a university

Your grammar is appalling for someone who wants to be seen as an opinion moulder.

sarrki:
Seriously where is hatred speech in the post ?

It is very good to engage one's grey matter properly. Please state anywhere in those tweets reason for the delay was given.

sarrki:
So far it is not stalled

The reason you gave looks genuine

Sorry wrong target. I am Yoruba to the core as in the real one from the source of that name.

Malcolm123:
U ppl claim north be unna enemy buh yet u keep flooding their major cities to do bizness .. y unna no fit stay for unna potopoto region ??
ingrate up and down .. nazo dem dey call Lagos no mans land .. as if Enugu na no man land also

Leave story,Atiku won 4 states in SW forget the rigging they did to alter the votes.We Yorubas are too enlightened to fall for all these tribal bull rap.

Malcolm123:
buh Y a tribe go get enemy for inside same country .....I fear for Igbo ppl (hatred don eat deep for unna body)
you ppl ar condemning Fulani ...yet a lot of you ppl sacrifice their life for an Adamawa Fulani during d last general election

Too cute and sophisticated for this tribal rant

Babysheart:
Abegi.

One thing you do and you gain attention in Nigeria is either you are violent or you have the instrument of violence. It's always worked. With NADECO, Obasanjo came. With MEND, Goodluck Jonathan came. With Boko Haram, ah... Let's give it to Northerners o, so we can rest. Now, the Afonjas are baring their cameleon fangs at the country against 2023. But we are wiser. Nothing nothing for them. All it takes is for the Federal Government to proscribe them, call them a terrorist or unlawful group or simply flush them into the latrine with one Operation Smelly Fart. And that's the end.

Well marshalled points,thumbs up for that. However, another wrong use of the word co-habiting it is practically accommodating as they are strangers.
Cheers.

fairfora:
Ok sir but my grand dad and great grand dad told us the history of fulanis encroachment in Ekiti as also told by their forebears. They both died in their 90s...may God bless their souls.
Let me share with you a little and what I've seen...

Fulanis were always coming to graze in Ekiti via kwara state through moba and aiyedun/ileje-meje lgas. Fulanis population in Kwara to the yorubas even till now is like 30/70 in percentage. I also schooled in Kwara so I know. The king of ilorin is also a funaliman , just so you know. Ekiti and Kwara share boundaries. Their vegetation is quite similar to what is obtainable up north in kwara so during the dry season, they hardly see grass to feed their cows. Most streams especially the Oyun river would have almost dried completely before they migrate southward.

The fulanis would migrate to Ekiti with their cows during this time, most of whom were herders. Some of them were honey extractors, while some others would come sell herbs. During this time, tsetse fly, mosquitoes are rare to find because of hamattan and harshness of weather in which they could hardly survive. Funalis are sensitive to weather condition. Once it's raining season, they leave Ekiti for Kwara. Some would still keep their huts and houses in towns and villages unevacuated because they still sell live cows to out people. Their families also would still be there. The cows in raining season were mainly being transported from kwara to Ekiti for sale for immediate consumption.The tsetse flies and a fly called aro and another fly called amukuru which suck human and animal blood are only predormonamt in the raining season in our place especially when the first set of fresh corn is about being harvested . Hardly would you find cows around during this time...hope that suffices

Exaggeration in use of the word centuries. Let me educate you here,if not for modern medicine cows from the North rate of survival was very low in the south as late as early 20th century,a bite from tse-tse fly equals to death sentence for cattle.That has been taken care by vaccination and deforestation .

How many centuries have you lived in for you to know that you have been cohabiting with Fulani men?

fairfora:
Interesting. Nigerians, especially my fulani brothers have nothing to fret about. I'm a typical ekitiman and I love the nomadic herders. We have had them for centuries in Ekiti and environs. They were peace-loving. My dad would give them roasted yam as they grazed their cows past our farm without touching a single yam leaf. Some of them were neither Christians nor muslims...I rember one man we used to call Dangana. His son ended up schooling in one of the public schools in my town in Ekiti because his dad craved western education. I hope the boy is successful today. The last time I saw him was in 1992 during my school's inter house sports competition. I learnt he later went to school in ABU.

However, there are some bad elements amongst them who were sent out to create mayhem in our land for the reason best known to them. Those are the criminals we wouldn't want to pitch our tent with because we can't afford to wait until people are being slaughtered in their houses before we act. They've started this rubbish on farmlands already ...never again!

Law abiding fulanis are safe. We will protect them, their cow and family from harm.

The nutcase didnt even bother to read.Sometimes I have the hunch those IDs are BOTs. Commenting without reading shows the level of their minds.

hisexcellency34:
The man said it cant be reviewed. Did he say he wants to challenge the judgment for Ihedioha? Nigerians and unnecessary criticism sha

Are you having double identity because I only responded to passingshot. I can't recall engaging you in any argument.Please try to punctuate better,this is quite difficult to read.

Keemsleek005:
Am not agueing with you if late fasheun is you in law or not but if you really know about opc as you claim then you should be familiar with what opc turned ago palace plots to they became nuisance they did what they like if not for the obj God bless him opc almost finished us at ago palace and gani Adams is another fraction of opc those one are worse. And since you know much they you will know how fasheun was arrested at century hotel thrown into army van and dump inside burial ground while is second in command demo was shot on the leg when he was forming opc. You can't put power in the hands of touts and illiterates and they won't misbehave. They need to train and reorientate them. Gani adams must not be involved

You'll definitely be a kid to me except you graduated from any university in the world by 1999.

Would it be of interest for you to know late Dr Fasehun was my inlaw and I have an idea of who Gani Adams was to him.So there goes your bollocks about me not knowing the provenance of OPC. To you guys on this board,everybody is a kid.Yeye

Geezer,if the WNSN(amotekun) gets hold of any kidnapper,you can go and bail them out.

PassingShot:
Many of you don't even have knowledge about processes and procedures.


Kid, let me ask you a question: if an Amotekun unit arrests a gang of kidnappers, what do they do with/to them?

Were you of age when OPC started? Perhaps you were not old enough then, let me remind you that it started well and later became a criminal gang as many of their members used their position to commit crimes against the same people they were meant to protect. Such is what can go wrong with an illegal, unrecognized, outfit.

Sitting* Don't waste your time writing paragraphs and be poor in simple spellings.

WiLdFLame:
As an Omoluabi, I’m seating down on the fence on this issue

Amotekun is good and born out of necessity but it has been bastardized the moment the governors and afenifere hijacked it.
Amotekun should be centralized!! And mode of operation well organized hence...it might be a political armed tools for the governors who are seeking second terms and also the one looking for presidency and also the Shameless Elders(Odumakin Squad) who wants to capitalize on it to make money from the federal government.
We don’t want the same thing that befall the NPF to befall this sacred institution

Very apt.A quisling pointing to his father's house with his left hand. The are many on this board.PASSINGSHOT,HELIUNES,WILDFLAME

Sweeetheart:
Omo ale

Oh yeah the Genius.An election held in 388 polling units and all other candidates got zilch. Also with the allocation of those votes to the SC declared winner,the total number of votes now exceeded the accredited voters by over a 100k votes. Please can you shed more light to the dull students who can't comprehend this.

Yusman316:
If u went to school, and simple arithmetics like addition is a mystery to u, then pls go apologize to ur parents or who ever sponsored ur education. Supreme court simply added Uzodinma votes that were excluded. The other candidates didn't have any vote from any where to be added to their previous votes

You are the one to up your comprehension skills.Read what that guy wrote again without any emotion or bias. What he is saying in a nutshell is all Yoruba interests are going to be attacked openly or by subterfuge because of the AMOTEKUN issue. Forget the pretence of the Junaid man,he is using the Emir case as smokescreen that Osibanjo was planning to take over when Buhari was ill.

seunmsg:
You read the piece from the beginning to the end and the nonsense you wrote above is your reaction?

Where in the write up did you get the idea that Osinbajo was planning to take over from Buhari? Which attack are you talking about? What has this got to do with Amotekun or Yorubas? Even Junaid Mohammed will be ashamed of your meaningless comment.

You guys really need to stop seeing Yorubas and Amotekun in every news item. Face the problem in your state and stop wasting your time hating on the Yorubas.

Keep following links,why dont you go to the EU website directly.This is how you guys harm your devices or compromise your passwords by opening any link you come into contact with.

MACSTANN:
Why would sahara reporters post a news without a source or reference document. I followed the link shared and I didn't find the link to the referenced report. This is misleading.

You are dubious using stats of 2016 which is almost 4 years old. I can tell you of many reported deaths in Ogun,Ondo and Osun states which are not even reflecting here at all./

Witchersunited:
how does giving police money end at Fulani killing people?

U're being tribal, look at the map again, how many people have they killed in the south west that ure raising false alarm?

If they are killing their own people more than you doesn't that explain alot to you? Must everything be tribal, na wa
