Monthly Crme Report by By Tribes
Yoruba. = 5%
Hausa. = 10% (Government crimes)
Igbo. = 70%
Other Tribes = 15%

Those cowards

Why are you bringing this up? It's not right and he didn't seize, impound or 'abduct' any BRT bus. Put paid to it bro

Eze nnaemeka: This november declaration is getting serious. Can't Wait to see that day.

And Ladipo market is your proposed state house right? Despite your so called plans to actualize Biafra, you have not considered investing in or developing your region which is still largely poor and underdeveloped going by the NBS figures and all other stats that indicate development

Bolan123: We will continue to demostrate in our former capital in Nigeria until we have our indipendence. If u don't like it go use rod touch high tension wire with ur socked cloth.

How did the Isrealis who you claim to be a clone of establish the state of Israel? Did the protest in they streets of London? How dumb of a whole race to think they can achieve sovereignity by protesting in another man's land? Is it that there are no roads to protest on in streets of Nnewi or the highways of Onitsha have all be washed away by erosion? Silly gathering in a market and ranting. Very soon, we will shut that market down and let's see where next you cluster. Maybe in the Oba of Lagos's palace.

Bolan123: Why is it dat d yoruba ppl keep reminding us of d fact dat PH and other parts of Niger Delta are not part of Biafra? Why not allow dem to speak for themselves. Yorubas are our enemies. We will handle dat as we progress towards our goal. Later they will deny genocide after instegating it. Dis time around it will be fight to finish. Let nobody push us to adopt boko tactics. If we resort to dat, d yorubas will be d first to start pleading with us. Now dat we are using peaceful means ppl are talking as if we are waging war. Nobody is saying wait a minute, how can we address some of d issues raised by dis ppl. If d Igbo start violent agitation Nigeria will beg us. We will be more deadly than boko haram. Keep talking trash and hating here. U hve to choose btw allowing Biafra go in peace or a Nigeria without future and peace.

The Niger Deltans have consistently denied being Igbo or Biafra in any way. Everyone's wiser now. You can take them hostage any longer

PROUD-IGBO:
^^^Hehehehe The bolded made me laugh.....seriously. I don't think anyone (besides Yoruba e-fighters on nairaland) would go with this assertion of yours.

Virtually all Yoruba people I know do one thing or the other and that's the reason why the unemployment rate in the SW is far lower than that of the SE

kingoflag: What is a "Kerbs"?

Between the sidewalk and the road

naptu2: We need to reduce the number of people that drive cars in this city.

I remember listening to Dan Foster complain (back when he was @ Cool FM). He went to pick up something down the road and got stuck in traffic. He was in traffic for almost an hour (at V.I extension). He couldn't leave his car at the roadside, couldn't go back, in fact he was just stuck. I asked him about it when I saw him. His response...I should have walked.

That's what the bicycles for.

We need to get people out of their cars and into BRT, LRT and on bicycles (so that what happened last wednesday won't re-occur)

The big project for me is the 7 lines of the LRT. I can barely wait for the blue line to be completed.

We are making progress.

My point exactly bro. You couldn't have put it better

berem: errmm,sorry I didn't read the post.what did it say again?

Read it honey!

salam001: I pray he adds an additional lane for those of us who loves skating

You can skate on a bicycle lane bro

So in the end, Lagos and Abuja will have 80% of Nigerian residents between them right? You know why

salam001: Guy,cool down,no insults please,I come in peace

Okay! Peace!!

salam001: You mean United states of ajegunle,I av been there too

Okay! When did Ajegunle become a state? Brain cells drying up

Mr. Globe:
You are a nincompoop with a very low brain. You represent the recent IQ test results of Nigerians. If I tell you I own 10 houses in abuja, how will you confirm it? I though you said you called el rufai, why are you now backtracking. lies

Not just ten. You own everything. Shebi you are Mr. Globe

ikeyman00: geez


save ur venom for another day and let the real taxpayer and Lagosian have a say

STFU! My folks are from Lagos and though I was born in the US, I grew up in Lagos, schooled in Lagos and currently make most of my money in Lagos and pay my taxes. Oponu iranu

berem: Na for Nigeria e wan happen? How e go be to ride bicycle from my house to the island? E no go easy o!

This village Igbo girl has started again. You obviously didn't read the post

a1solution: Even the agency that is collecting it is just releasing figures not the cash. The cash is in their individual bank accounts.

Do people still talk like this in 2012?

rafhell: that will be great.
but hope the lanes will not be taken over by beggers and traders

The bicycle lanes I've seen in other countries cant be occupied by beggars. I've seen some in the middle of the roads while some are close to the kerbs. It sure makes a lot of sense as this will reduce pressure on the roads as well as traffic when you can ride to a bus stop or train station ( as soon as the red and blue lines are commissioned), and thereafter go on the bus or train to your destination. In the UK, some people even take their bicycles on the trains during off peak periods.

Great one! Just like the bicycle lanes in NYC.

Way to go.

In a bid to give Nigeria’s most populous city an effective transport system, the state government has announced plans to introduce bicycles lanes on major roads across the city.


Mannie leading this year's participants in Park and Ride
This announcement was made by the Commissioner for Transportation in Lagos, Mr Kayode Opeifa, on Sunday at a cycling event ‘Park and Ride’ which urge Nigerians to park their cars and ride bicycles for an enhanced lifestyle and cleaner environment.

Speaking at the event as the special guest, Mr Opeifa noted that “the bicycle programme is on and pretty soon, you will see some roads in Lagos, marked as bike zones.”

According to the Commissioner, “what is alternative to Okada (motorcycle) is the bicycle.”

This is coming at a time when the state government is still embroiled in controversy with the Okada riders over their restriction to ride on some highways in the city and a recent clampdown on them for defaulting the new Lagos Traffic law.

Discouraging the use of okada on walkable distance, the Commissioner stated that “anybody who wants to take a bike (okada) from their house to the bus stop, should use their bicycles.”

“And when they (commuters in Lagos) get to the bus stop they should tie their bikes to the poles provided at the bus stop and join the BRT buses.” “The poles we are providing at the bus stops are not for decorations but for people to tie their bicycles” he added.

“All over the world, from London to Stockholm to Buenos Aires, people now ride their bikes to work because it saves the environment of the gaseous emissions that is harmful to the environment.”

He also noted that cycling will enhance people’s lifestyle and thereby improve their productive and lifespan which he claims will also have a resultant effect on the nation’s GDP.

Acknowledging that the tropical weather in Lagos will make it uncomfortable for cyclers, the Commissioner noted that “yes, the weather will make people sweat but offices will be urged to provide showers” to ameliorate the discomfort.

This he claimed is done across the world.

Park n Ride is an annual event organized by On Air personality, Mannie of CoolFM Lagos, which urges people to park their cars and ride bicycles in a bid to address climate change and improve people’s lifestyle.

Simply means the revenue from taxes can fund our annual budget. This is not to mention the revenue from the ports.

You tactically showed only about. 4 roads and kept cuting and repeating them. If we had to do a video of good roads even in Ekiti State, I'm sure you will be on nothing less than a 10hr 'bump less' ride on YouTube

nku5: Try your best not to get personal with me sir.

80% ?? Wow where did u get those figures from oga. I'm sure its a contrived percentage but that's a dscussion for another time. Your brother just said that igbos introduced those crimes and I'm pointing out history and clarifying same. Oya look at my points and tell me Dr. Oyenusi did not pioneer armed robbery as an industry in this country or that shina rambo did not establish the first nigerian born cross border robbery syndicate in africa

Kidnapping or gbomo gbomo is not a today thing in the south west abi na lie

How many of the things that the Japanese are most known for today did they invent? I'm not sure Oyenusi pioneered armed robbery, but be that as it may, your people are most notorious for these vices. That's all that counts.

Abagworo: I love Nigeria with all its diversity and want us united as one people forever. What I'm only saying is that self-praise is not same thing as tribalism. It rather encourages competition and not hatred as exhibited by those who stated that they wanted all Igbos dead. I've heard people say Igbos have occupied their land but why can't those same people go and occupy Igbos land and compete with them too? Even recently I read where someone stated that 40% of voters in Kano were Igbos and it angered a section of the country but why can't those people just move to Onitsha, buy up land and become 40% of Onitsha?

Which lands are there to occupy in Igbo land? The ones washed away by erosion, floods or the heaps of garbage? The only other places Yorubas have invested outside Yorubaland are the north, Ghana, Togo, Ivory Coast and more recently the USA, Dubai, SA and the UK and understandably so

nku5: Chei! See reverse accusation o! Igbos are good learners I must admit but na Yoruba invent crime for naija o! Oya let's goooo theeeere!!!

Armed Robbery - pioneered by Dr Oyenusi and perfected by Shina Rambo who went cross-border

Drug trafficking - pioneered by the likes of "Eleganza" and most fuji singers before we even knew what cocaine was

Cannibalism - your traditions require that the flesh of newly dead obas be shared by the chiefs. I will soon be back with the links

Filth - hmmmmm. Let's not even start

Seriously? 80% of the robberies, kidnappings and ritual killings are perpetrated by Igbos. I can't believe a right thinking person will assert this. Except you just got out of jail and haven't been in touch.
