Some guys just rant without posting facts to support their claims

luvinhubby: Politicians will cook up any meaningless idea to remain relevant......only in Nigeria.

Following the restriction of taxicycles aka okadas in Lagos, I think any right thinking person would at his time try to avoid taking a bike especially on the restricted roads. My driver almost ran into one of them as he dangerously maneuvered on Bourdillon Road to avoid being apprehended thereby hurting his passenger in the process. She looks to me like she's gonna be in the hospital for some time.

The LASG has made a law restricting commercial motorcycles and it can only be reversed via legal means and not flagrant violation of the laws. Even if a bike man doesn't see these sense in obeying the traffic law and places little value on his life, must you as a commuter expose yourself to such grave risk?

As it seems, trying to escape or run away from law enforcement agents has even made the business of riding commercial bikes in Lagos more dangerous on the restricted roads.

Just my two pennies' worth. Doesn't mean it should make sense to you

sucess001: so cos LASG tells u they got 9000 roads...u sef believe? where the 9000 roads na? na inside dem office e dey

govt firmer ko...farmer ni...expect more citizen disobedience if u dont tink of the citizens before comin out weit a policy

Lagos remains the only state I can drive around using my navigation system in Nigeria. Its simple because all the roads are mapped and can be counted easily. Even when you look at the navigation map, you can count hundreds of roads on a wide screen of an LGA. If Lagos tells you it's got a million roads you can't doubt it because they have it all mapped. My navigation map even seems to show that there are over 9,000 roads in Lagos.

Okija_juju: Because out of the 9000 roads, only 452 are good roads..

Is this an attempt at humor? Certainly not funny

Asiwaju9ja: Does anyone know where I can get Cycling protective Helmets for my Team? I want to buy them today. Sorry for derailing the Topic

If you're in Lagos, you want visit Game at the Palms Mall. They've got loads of them

luvinhubby: Whether in or out of office, they are all politicians. The slogan "Southwest economic intergration" originated and is beng propagated by politicians.

Call them that but a progressive plan must be applauded

luvinhubby: Politicians will cook up any meaningless idea to remain relevant......only in Nigeria.

This isn't an idea by politicians for politicians. It's an idea by Yoruba leaders for Yorubaland

Ricky_Ross: Are you not ashamed you are from a tribe that claims to be intelligent, yet your parents destroy your faces with tiger marks in the name of culture?
Are you not ashamed only Yoruba people shiitt in nylon bags in this modern day?
Are you not concerned that yorrober is the dirtiest, fattest and ugliest tribe in Nigeria? These are pure FACTS

Omo Yoruba Ni Mi O!!! We've got the swags. We drew tribal marks, fine but now everyone is going tattoo. We're not complaining, neither is the rest of the world we get to do business with.

FYI Igbo people and cities are the dirtiest in Nigeria.

Just don't bother replying. We are discussing DAWN here which is a highly cerebral topic and the least we want is one of your aimless rants on declaring Biafra or claiming to have the tallest residential buildings

[size=20pt]Still Proudly Yoruba[/size]

Flygeriansteve: virtually everywhere i go outside the southwest or in discussions i have with ppl from other tribes especially the Ibos, my sense of propriety and logic gets constantly assuaded by this brainless misinformed argument that Lagos is is a no-man's land(i think it's because Yorubas have been largely accommodating. Ibos and we Yorubas don't tell ppl that Kaduna or Abuja is no-man's land); that the Europeans were the first settlers in Lagos; or that other tribes have as much claim to Lagos as the yorubas. These argument are informed by ludicrous ignorance and a stupefying lack of common sense.
We Yorubas call Lagos Eko. it was what it was always called since time when you ignoramuses' antecedents were roaming naked around Africa. King Kosoko was the reigning king when Lagos was annexed in 1861. The Eguns and Awori are also other tribes native to Lagos.
That's the little i know. Hope it brushes up on your ignorance.

If Lagos is No Man's Land, then add PH, Onitsha and Enugu to that list.

The Lagos monarchy has been in existence for over 200 years. The question now is, who was King and his subjects? Where would their descendants be indigenes of?

chosen04: @Op,

FYI, Benjamin Onuwka is also a British citizen not just a lawyer but a UK trained lawyer.

I know it will be very hard for you to understand.

A UK trained lawyer so what!? I'm a US trained engineer.

Even if he's Professor of Law at Harvard, he has demonstrated a clear lack of understanding of how to use it to his advantage. He's just an attention seeker. Seems like he got some dose of it

bashr8: dont mind those confused bunch. see them running their mouth all over the place.

Who is complaining? The sooner you make it happen, the better for the rest of us.

I'm just telling you that there's only one way to get it done expect you wanna start another war which you know you can't win.

Mr. Globe:
I said you should stfu! Every of your comment on nairaland is iddiotic. you are mentally deranged. stop bringing your mental challenge to threads where intellectuals are trying to discuss, go and eat amala or face your yahoo yahoo business.

Not everyone that is successful made his money through fraud. I am one and I know a lotta people who are. Sore loser and 'bastard' is a sign of intellectualism in your post? The best if your reasoning was my worst in elementary school I must confess. I keep insisting that you must have hit your head as a kid or you're slowly becoming senile. As a matter of fact, you already are

berem: if I talk now you will say you don't want intellectual mud challenge.where did the poster mention Lagos not to talk of southwest? We are talking of SE states and not SW.Moreover,why is it Lagos all the time? Are there no other tall buildings in the SW apart from lagos? This boasting don too much I swear.
Now don't bother to quote me cos I believe you have read this!

Still don't want it. You win

Mr. Globe:
^
shut your dumb azz up bastartd.

@op, am particularly disappointed in ph, with all the noise snd with it being called a major town, bungalows are littered everywhere, you can barely find a 2 story buiding in ph but I think its ikwerre people

What's wrong with this brainless eediot? You are the bastard! Low life retard. Your must have hit your head as a kid and grown up on cheap and expired dog food!

You read my post, couldn't debate intellectually and then you call me a bastard! Who the hell are you?

bashr8: go and choke yourself in rat poison , which yorubaland are you talking about? those villages and cages filled with tribal marked illiterate motor touts. most of you yorubas lack sense. why is it bothering you the most? demons.

Don't wanna start this debate again tonight. The economy or the SW minus Lagos is bigger than that of all the SE states put together. The GDP of Oyo State alone is higher than that of any state in the SE. How many times do I have to educate you on this? Are you that dull? How on earth did you make it through school?

Now compare that to GEJ and Dame's kiss

berem: abeg how many SW states are developed? Patapata na only Lagos! Even Yorubas that are not from lagos are all claiming Lagos as their state.Too bad! Yeah! You wish for yorubas to be a seperate country,but what have you people done about it? When other ethnic groups are clamouring for a seccession,you guys aren't doing anything yet you say igbos have demonstrated stupidity and naivety.the north through boko haram is asking for an islamic state.are you people really waiting for other ethnic groups to secceed before it dawns on you that Nigeria is a failed state?

I made a promise some time ago never to respond to you because it will amount to dragging myself into an intellectual mud and I will just pretend I didn't read your post

Once again some Igbo people have demonstrated stupidity and naïvety. Still can't believe the MZB leader calls himself a lawyer. To achieve independence, you will need to make a case to the UN for a referendum. Seriously I just wished the Yoruba nation was a separate country on its own because we are the only region, from inception of Nigeria till date that has demonstrated progression intellectually, socially, technologically and politically. Look at the SW states under this democratic dispensation and tell me whether or not they aren't they most progressive in the way they have ruled and planned their communities as well as developed it. Small wonder people from other regions keep flocking here


It's also shocking that only 500 people were arrested. Where are all the loud mouthed eediots on this forum that have always supported this mode of secession? If anyone of you for whatever reason rants Biafra again then it means you're shameless, hypocritical and above all cowards. Out of the 30 million Igbos in Nigeria, there are only 500 brave people. The others can only peep from their homes and cheer on without joining the procession where the dumbest of them can sit in one room in Ibadan typing crap on NL

Aigbofa: The hour is near. Long live the Republic of Biafra.

Yet another joke but if you can pull it off, it will be the best thing that ever happened to the SW

You these Igbo people never cease to amaze me with your self conceit and aggrandizement

BTW what time are you guys declaring your Biafra Republic tomorrow or it another one of your cheap talks?

Dark Lover: Any update about this project? Lagosians

Still on course. Yorubas never fail at progressive initiatives

And I really can't wait. All the banks and major companies I know have invested in the city and it will have high rise flats and will have working and residential facilities for close to 30 million people, thereby freeing up more space for Lagos's teeming population

chaircover: I have a couple of questions for the pilots in the house. I hate flying so the more I know about how things work up there, should hopefully help kill this fear

If anyone has further questions feel free to ask too.

1.What causes turbulence and do some routes suffer more than others? It seems to me that the Abuja-London route suffers more turbulence than the London-Lagos route.

2.Do some airlines absorb the turbulence better? From my experience Virgin doesn’t seem to be as bumpy as ARIK and BA

3.Why do your ears pop on some flights and not on others?

4.Why does the plane dramatically slow down when the Wheels come out for landing

5.And why does it make such a loud thud/bang when the wheels come out. I thought it was to do with hydraulics so why is it so noisy?

6.What maintenance do the ground engineers do when the plane comes in and before take off again

7.How many trips does a plane make say for example London to Lagos before it is taken out of service?

8.What is the average pay for a pilot and crew?

9.Do pilots sleep when the plane is on autopilot? And do the number of pilots increase with the lenght of the flight so eg are there more pilots on the UK-Australia route than there would be on the london-lagos route?

10.Do mobile phones really affect electronics on the flight?

11.When the plane comes to land how do the back wheels drop down so gently without slamming into the runway considering the weight of the plane?

12.When a flight departs late, most times the pilots try and make up time. If the plane therefore can safely travel that fast, then why not just use that speed anyway and reduce the flight times of all flights?

13.Why do the crew insist on switching the cabin lights off when departing or landing at night/its dark?

14.Why are suitcases sometimes damp when they come out of the hold?

15.Is it me or does anyone else suddenly notice the increase in heat in the cabin during day flights over the desert?

16.I know that the engines “drive” the planes, but how does the plane go up in the air and not down at ground level like a car or boat will?


. . . . . . . And last of all why is airline food sooooooo crap?

And before the smart alecs ask me to ask google. I have and not all the answers are there

Don't agree with the cold and flight over the desert however. You need to fly over the Atlantic and Pacific to see that the temperature over the desert isn't so much different. Although I think the cabins seem to be ironically colder in day flights than night flights
