My point is that while Lagos would still be economically viable if Igbos weren't here, it would not be the commercial nerve it is today. In fact, if not that in the 60s, Igbos were persecuted in the north, Kano would be very close to Lagos in terms of business development

Lagos has always been the commercial center

If igbos didn't migrate there would be more Yorubas, foreigners and other tribes like there are now

The Chinese have bigger investments than the igbos so do lebanese, South Africans and a host of foreigners

asoebi:
Where in Niger State did you visit? cos aside some areas in the state capital(Minna), majority of the rests are uneducated. I even visited a village about 20 minutes away from the village and lots of peeps I met on the way can neither speak nor understand English even the so called students in their uniforms.

Though I'll agree with you they are well mannered.

Been able to speak English has nothing to do with how educated a person is

Oseite:
Don't forget that majority of the locally produced food we eat comes from the north

SW produces its own food... The North has the weather for Yam, some foods and some fruits

But

When its comes to food... The SW is ahead..

Oseite:
I am not saying that it was not booming. What I am saying is that like it or not, Igbo businesses have been a major contributor to the growth of Lagos. BTW, I am not Igbo, before you get any ideas

Stop believing igbo media propaganda

Most of them don't own sh:it... Only few of them

ideykwum:
That guy doesn't know the difference between Nationalism and Tribalism...They look alike, seem alike, sometimes have similar outcomes...but they are two radically different concepts!

They are the same thing...

One is to tribe, the other is to country

dearpreye:
Then theirs must be totally different from the primitive version of ours.

Yes...

In Nigeria, old people don't encourage the young... They impose limits on young people.. But the youths are beginning to break those shackles

dearpreye:
I'm rather shocked many people saw this report through their tribal lenses. So pathetic.

Let's not glory in the states that fair better. Let's not also make a mockery of the states that are lagging behind.

This familiar trip with tribalism is one of the major reasons Africa will never compete with the rest of the world.

Tribalism is one of the reasons China, Japan e.t.c are booming

They train their people and encourage and enlighten them...

Yujin:
Now let me give us a food for thought. It is generally said by many people that its the north that feeds the rest of Nigeria with her agricultural produce. If that's the case then how comes they're this poor with a majority of them living below the poverty line? Does it mean they produce and sell everything and then scramble for the few remnants or is there a good explanation for this? Note this report is solidly based on feeding pattern of the regions.

Don't believe what people say

There are many farms in the SW maybe not in Lagos.. But Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Osun, Kwara, Edo, Ekiti all have farms....

The North has weather for some crops that can't grow in the SW but Kwara is helpful to the SW when it comes to such

Timoleon:
well, u cant find any of my posts condemning miniskirts...I only got in d convo cos of d afro ish...
hair wey God giv me! and u made d insinuation that its wrong to wear it to church n i needed clarifications.

1 Corinthians 11:14
Does not nature itself teach you that if a man
wears long hair it is a disgrace for him,

raayah:
Una go gree?? Nigerians hate using contraceptives and poke fun of people who service themselves.
Last census over 5 years ago , we are 140 million... and a lot of people were not counted.
Nigeria's population has been predicted to increase to 1 billion in coming years.

Nigeria's progress is barred by corruption..
Nigeria's census figures were over hyped cos of allocation

The kind of development that comes with having a high population does not show in Nigeria

Teempakguy:
ehn?! Bros, we are more than 150 million oh

Go and check out pictures of Chinese streets and see plenty they are

The most populous state in Nigeria is Lagos.. Lagos is also the smallest state according to land mass and it has bad planning...

But you don't see people filling streets in the Lagos

raayah:
At almost 200 million and over 30% unemployment rate. Nigeria's population needs to be controlled.

Nigeria is not up to 100 million...

In China, they passed a law that families must not give birth to more than 2 children...

Nothing stops Nigeria from passing such law..

hmmm




Indecency Offensive to accepted standards of decency or modesty
Because they had no standards of decency or modesty .


Does it change the fact that she dresses indecently ? There's a standard , if she goes contrary then she has dressed indecently

They had their own standards
You have your own standards of decency or modesty and I have mine

Timoleon:
how does wearing an afro offend God?

How does wearing mini-skirt, bum shorts offend God

KingEbukasBlog:
And something coming out from nothing is plausible?

Atheist done get it . The universe is not on its own . Its contents - space , planets , sun , moon , matter - is what it is . So that nothing where that something came out from, where does it come from .

I'm expecting your response

I'm also an agnostic atheist

Somethings are too complex for human beings to understand

KingEbukasBlog:
Then you have no reason to be an atheist

Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities
Atheism has to do with religion not common sense
Its common sense that seeing is not believing

blackpanda:
Actually that what your bible says: Gouge out your eyes if it will lead you to sin!

It says "cut it out"
The bible is written by the British
When they say "cut it out" it means stop doing it

Don't make IceMan85 have a heart attack

But you yourself have you ever seen a MALE ANIMAL f:ucking another MALE ANIMAL

KingEbukasBlog:
Im confused here ...




Lol
You sound like all I do is search about homosexuals and read about them. These are stories I bump into and just decide to read them.

No one bumps into stories... You read blogs that promote such articles...

Seeing is believing... Maybe if I go to a country where such is practised I'll believe it...

Seeing is not believing to an atheist..

KingEbukasBlog:
I hope you know that does not make any sense

Indecency
Offensive to accepted standards of decency or modesty

If you don't understand @ bold , then that's a problem oo

You also have an indecent mind...

Africans used to barely cover up their whole body... Some tribes in some countries still live that way and their women are not seen as objects..

Do you look at your sister lustfully when she wears tight/fitted dress

Why can't you look at other girls the same way

KingEbukasBlog:
Am a blogger and I read stories about kids that come from same sex marriages

Lots gays and lesbians do have kids

And I've never come across any homosexual .... I only read/hear stories about them

The stories are few...

Since you're a blogger you should know that news/stories are all make-believe.. as long as you've never come across any that means you don't know any and its still fiction until you've seen it..

Pls spend time reading things that you will gain from...

IceMan85:
Lol... So i should go blind because i don't wanna see an indecent dress b**tch? No darling.... Just understand my point. We are quick to embrace western culture, leaving behind our ''morally'' way of life.

Yes go blind...
Some weeks ago... An ancient picture of one opobo guy with bare breasted wives made front page and it was normal then..

You are quick to embrace western culture,
Your mind has been corrupted by the media..

KingEbukasBlog:
funny
... and the last time I checked same sex couples dont have kids right ?
The lesbians use the sperm bank and the surrogate mothers for the gays

Except for few lesbians how many gays have u seen that have children

KingEbukasBlog:
If its made legal here, the rights would be over-abused . Gays will make advances at any kind of male as a form of exercising their rights . Same sex rape cases everywhere because hell has been let loose.

Homosexuality is an abnormality ...religiously or not . Moves to correct this sexual defect should have been made and not condoning it.

Pedophiles will soon be seeking their own rights .

Why is homosexuality accepted and not Pedophilia or in.cest or beastiality ? Is all about love right? And freedom of sexual preference?

The end is truly near ... more drama will unfold

America will be FREELY IN BONDAGE

Its to control population...

IceMan85:
Are sure you attend church at all... Ok to make things easier for you, try and watch the so called christian musics..... You'll cry. I don't wanna call names but i have visited a church where ladies wore bump shorts and performed on the alter. No matter any escuse dear, its wrong. Just give us any reason why women should dress indecently in such a holy place.

No one is holy...

Why should guys keep afro to church

Why should men look at women in mini skirts different from the way they look at their sisters, mothers

Women don't dress indecently...

You're the one that has an indecent mind..

Where are the religious Gods
God does not exist
God is a fictional story...
Religious books are scriptures for their plan..
If God truly existed the world population will be lower than 5 billion people...

MissSlimbody:
You don't have to say yes to him because the right man hasn't come along.

Never go into a relationship out of pity or desperation.

irishCream is a broke ass girl who wants a rich dude she can flaunt to her friends...

She doesn't know that been rich requires consistent hard work..

She wants to reap where she did not sow

Why breed dogs when you can breed goats, cows, chicken e.t.c and make money.

Nairaland and its anti-christian topics

Nairaland does not want to move topics on the 3 recent bombings in 3 continents to FP

Nairaland is anti-christian

Nairaland and its anti-christian topics

Nairaland does not want to move topics on the 3 recent bombings in 3 continents to FP

Nairaland is anti-christian

Just my opinion..

Try harder you hear?

Show that place without the flood and makoko is filled with illegal immigrants and non-indigenes

Tell your friend Linda Ikeji to use her blog to pressurise your SE polithiefcians instead of promoting gay topics and all sorts of trash...

She's getting paid I don't blame her
