By the way, 8th to comment.

djon78: hahaha make i come back when they wake up, let me ask you this question , was lagos developed by the yorubas? NO lagos was developed initially by the british and then later by the FG because it was the capital then so my dear lagos has never been what ever it is today because of ur peoples effort rather its because of other peoples effort, even till this present time,

like i stated b4 nija is changing small small and little by little water go find her level, every region will develop at its pace, then you will know whether south east will not also develop.

you are talking of south south being part of biafra and we igbos claiming them, i have this to say to u, we dont claim any part of south south. although there were bad blood btw us and them during those 60s period presently there is cordial relationship btw us and them, it was an igbo man ekwueme who brougth about the minorities having their own region south south during 1993 constitutional conference, also during jonas presidency we gave the south south our full support so there is no wahaala btw us and them, they have their own region we have our own so we are not claiming anything. they are our cousins and brother and neighbours, we intermarry with them a lot likewise the middle belt region also, are our neighbours and brothers, while ur own people are not our neighbours either.

and mind you if na oil u think we are looking for we have our own oil too, but am not even talking about oil rather for my region south east to harness the potential of our people and turn out to be a major globaly recognised industrial region to emerge from sub-sahara africa and my dear we are capable cos i know the potential God gave my pple.

onitshaigbo: Lagos and Igbo Southeast is moving forwards. But the rest of Nigeria is going backwards. God save Nigeria.

Katsumoto: But trains will not get folks to their homes. When they get down from the trains, they still need to get to their final destination.

djon78: and what plans do u have for us?

let me tell u Nija is changing small small, by the time electricity is constant, steady and uninterrupted, many industries will spring up in the east meaning that many of our people will return home and less likely to troop to ur region, so u wont have so called us to deal with.

and by the way lagos is too overhyped, even in Africa Lagos cannot be compared to cities like joburg, capetown, cairo, etc in any ramification talkless of comparing lagos to emerging economies cities like Dubai, Singapore, Kuala lumpur, Doha etc. lagos is a cesspol, stinking, dirty, poorly planned city. so quit all these crappy noise u make about lagos.


thats why am angry with our south east leaders we are supposed to develop at least one world class city in igboland and we are capable of doing it afterall we go and help develop other regions only for them to insult us. if this city is initiated diasporan igbos and those home and abroad will really help to do it, cos i know what my pple are capable of doing
[size=18pt]
let our igbo leaders wake up if they can come out with such vision to develop a world class city within south east with a modern fast speed railway connecting the city to other regions like south south and middle belt who are our next door neighbours, then let me see what will give mostly these south westerners the effontery to insult the igbos who are the major contributors to the development of their region. i just pray for visionary igbo leaders that will develop our region then these noise makers that insult us will know our value when we leave their region to them.[/size]

amechi of rivers state is doing serious visionary things for his state likewise Akpabio for Akwa ibom state.

gunuvi: With all the huge IGR Lagos is earnig everyday coupled with the allocations Fashola still continue borrowing. Time will tell, gradually the propagandas are no more working. Oju ara eko ti la.

Eko Atlantic: ^^^
Wrong!

Desola: Olooribu, i've told you before that we don't mind you trooping in. We need your best brains and those of you who can start up viable businesses that would generate taxable income for our state. The not so desirable ones would be systematically sent back as we have sampled with the last batch of deportees to your erosion ravaged neighbourhoods. In fact, we are checkmating you by making mandatory, a requirement for residence cards to ensure that you don't come and eat, shit in our land and come census period; run back to your backward villages to be counted so as to generate more money for your governors who only seat pretty at the top without having to use their allowance from daddy Nigeria on you lot because you are ghost citizens who actually reside in Lagos. Ensuring you are counted means that we know where you are; what you are doing and it enables us to get the accurate allocation from daddy Nigeria. It is unfair at the moment that census records shows 18million Nigerians residing in Lagos when in actual fact, it could be well over 20million. We get allocation based on the 80mill figure but have to cater for over 20mill, now that is a huge descrapancy!

Come one, come all but you will be made to live according to our rules and we will make certain to frustrate you that only those who can yield would be able to stay. No more free for all.

PointB: And by the way, we will keep trooping down to Lagos state in droves (for sundry reasons) as long as the state remain part of Nigeria. And there is nothing anybody can do about it.

Pathetic clowns.

Desola: because your family and that of those in abuja are in lagos. Lagos caters for you and the whole of Nigeria, that's why.
