Only kogi and crossrivers states exempted......what are they doing differently?......they must be doing something right.... [color=#990000][/color]....maybe we can copy their examples

Yenefer:
Thank God he is Yoruba if he is I-pig they will disturb us with I-pig amaka

na true, the thread for don reach 50 pages by now

Sanwolu grow some balls and lockdown Lagos for another month, heaven will not fall, El-rufai has locked down for another 30 days, if you need more time that's why you are an executive governor. If things escalate more than this, no one will listen to your excuses o

Lockdown part 2 loading.......

skedman:
What are we saying and what is this idiot saying
Did I oppose what the governor said I only brought out a key point that needed attention .
Oga I am an intelligent person I don't limit my knowledge to what ever decision that is been made I look and see the future
Lagos population is more than what the governor think it is and I make a reference of where I stay ikorodu simple
I was looking at the timing
I was looking at the closing time and resumption time
I am looking at the rushing time
.

then sit at home nah

GamalNasser:
That boy go don dey give him papa problem before COVID

you are very right

most religious leaders really fall hand this period, just shows most are not grounded in the faith they profess and preach to others.

TheGoodJoe:
Where I will completely agree with you is that I am overrating the government because it is clear they are lost.

How can this government have a budget of N60 Billion set aside for the employment of Gutter cleaners and then want us to believe no money for a Comprehensive War Against Covid-19 programme. It is baffling?

Why not channel this money appropriately? If Senegal can target producing 2 million kits to test, it is a big lie making us believe we can not do it. It is just the wrong pilot on the Covid-19 war battle plane.

N60 Billion set aside for Government Gutter cleaners is best channeled for Covid-19 fight. From Local production of kits most especially, drugs and stimulus packages.

We still have the $50 million from EU which I think is about N22 billion. A discussion with the CACOVID can also release funds.

I doubt funds is the problem but preferential use of it to optimum results.

when it comes to disaster mgt and humanitarian causes, we are grossly incompetent as a people, case in point is boko haram and the idps issue. Let's forget all the big grammar, we are gradually loosing our humanity as nation. What we do well is party and party hard. All those funds you are mentioning, we know how it will end. Just protect yourself and your family bro. keep safe and worry less about Nigerians, a country on lockdown and complaining about hunger, yet some folks still went to spend cash on strippers. We are just bunch of jokers, Local production of test kits? common that's never gonna happen, we are not that humane enough.

MansoryMX:
It’s a huge risk being taken by the president because they don’t want to spend money in taking care of the needs for citizens of this great nation. If government had made adequate provisions for people in the lockdown and not being biased, Nigerians won’t mind sitting at home for 3 months. I feel for the people of this nation because this virus is just getting started with us.

even Businesses that are resuming, what are they resuming into, the Global business is still on lockdown, no flights, no social gatherings like weddings parties and co so what are traders resuming into, with the interstate travel ban, transporters will still sit at home, for the uber guys and danfo guys, how many businesses will even open and where are the events that people will flock into.

Nigerians no wise, your president just tactically removed himself from more blames, Nigerians will still cry and complain more but no one can blame FG again for lockdown

Babaibejii:
I pity Lagosians who get up by 4am and get to work 8 and close by 4pm only to reach hoise 11pm. How them wan beat the curfew?

PMB has just saved himself from Nigerians wahala, Nigerians are now on their own to go out and swallow the virus, na dem talk say they don tire

I rejoice with the Atikus, that was a dodged bullet indeed

truth be said el-rufai has been impressive in dealing with covi-19, only if his kano mate has been serious like him

If our churches were really operating in the realm of the supernatural, churches won't have been closed down but most of them are just social clubs hence they were classified as social gatherings that need to be stopped to contain the spread.

I wish the Apostle good luck though. The Church in Nigeria truly need a revival

if Trump no longer fund WHO, how will they pay NOI her salary

My question sha ... how does Foursquare ordain their Pastors and deacons I know three that are not qualified morally or spiritually to be ordained a born again Christian talk more of deacon. God forgive us Christians who use the name of Christ in ain.

Leave Foursquare out of this, what will you now say of redeem and winners pastors, nobody holy pass bruv

The fact that Uncle Bayo did not deny he went to Femi adeshina for a job in Buhari's govt has finished the matter for me.

Uncle Bayo, you fall hand no be small, Femi really skinned you life in his article.

But that's how we Nigerians are, when we don't have our way, we resort to blackmail, typical naija man

Karlifate:
If Deacon Femi Adesina is the Sanballat, who is now the Tobiah?
Just curious tho...

omo na u funny pass here , i don laugh tire

Balotelli na Ghanaian nah

ffk before PMB govt come to an end, your case in court would have been completed, don't be in a hurry

PHAYOL81:
I think you seems lost and greedy for wanting what doesn't belong to you. I may not offer you my time again after this; pardon me if that's too harsh. But then, to respond to your posts, while Zik came in, what rescue did he do to Lagos politics or any part of Lagos? What tangible political resurrection did Zik do to the state of Lagos? Was Lagos in disarray politically prior to his arrival? If yes, what happened and what were cause(s)? If no, how then did Zik rescue Lagos politics? Who was feeding you that thrash? My dear, Zik was just a politician, like the Sir Ahmadu Bello, Yar Adua, Obasanjo et all and and he'd done nothing worthier than any of those leaders of his time. Infact, but for time, I'd have gone deeper and you'd have seen the contributions of others that humbly belittle what you might've been fed SAVE LIES OF COURSE.
Yet, contributions of each and everyone of them finished around the IKOYI, Dordan Baracks, Obalende, from where they governed. It was until Mobolaji Johnson was able to secure governorship right that the Ikeja, the Surulere (of the time), the Lagos Mainland, the Third Mainland, the Idumotas and other notable development started springing up. Eventhough there were some the Federal Government supported the sate in finishing like the Third Mainland, most of these were facilitated through the purse of the state. And need I remind you that the contributions of non-yorubas will definitely amount to nothing other than like that of any foreigner should this 'One Nigeria' falter. Why? Bounderies! The American you brought as example belong to the Americans. No European, African, Asian can lay a claim or stake in it? Infact, anybody other than the Americans are subject to approval by the authourity before they enter the States. And even so, any of them can be deported (whether Italian, English, French, Irish etc), save only the Americans.
In this case, American never belong to the Irish, Italians, Germans or any other because they had early settlers on the American land in the olden days. American is Americans. Lagos is for Lagosians (the indigenes) and by extension, the Yorubas through regional position. Respect bounderies.

You guys are actually the ones giving them the audacity to lay claim. What happens in America that can't happen here? Is what's happening in America suggesting the opposite of what we've been telling these lots? Do the Germans have a claim on the USA? Who among the Irish, the Italians, the British, the French has? Who among them are on the necks of the USA or Canada (another country with good settlers from the German, French and English/Brits) over land-ownership claim? Except exempted due to bilateral agreement which may exist between two countries, who among the citizens of these countries would enter into the USA/Canada without visa?
The guys have even forgotten he's African, a Nigerian for that matter, whose ancestors unarguably also gained the right of being settlers after having initially gone through slavery and then, war. We have black Americans around to support this claim, so what's he waiting for? Why isn't laying a claim to the USA? Why's the USA even banning some Africans from entering their country? If he think early settling means ownership or claim on a land, why do the French needing a Visa? Why's he himself having to go through the embassy when he knows his ancestors had paved way for him? Why does the American needing embassies in Germany, Uk or France since by his permutation, they should be citizens by right?
Please, bro, when thses guys talk, don't massage their ego. When this union breaks, I repeat like I've always said, he'll know the worth of the clan in Lagos. The real owners will manifest. Thanks for your time.

the igbos only lay claim to places where they are tolerated, with all their shops in Kano, I have never seen igbos claiming or asking for anything in Kano, they are just cowards who only barks where there is very high level of tolerance. After calling Nigeria a zoo, they beg the same country they hate to come evacuate them when they are in trouble with any host Country where they are, I wonder why they can't claim developers in those countries they run into trouble with.

PHAYOL81:
It becomes so shameful when you realised that the most educated among them still exude ignorance. They'll rather dwell on what their grand-parents who were less educated told them without seeking the right story from the right source. That's why you see most of their newscasters spewing rubbish that are tainted with half truth, half lies and illogical submissions. I just can't deal sometimes when listening or seeing what lies they continue to tell themselves all the time.
If not for our greedy politicians, I don't see why we shouldn't support a break up. I see us standing toe to toe with the South-Southerners if not doing better and that's if the SS quickly agree among themselves to put their differences behind them and work as one. Otherwise, we'll be miles beyond all other region in no time after the brake-up because most of our states had already defined their potentials which would be worked on and complimented.

only the SW can successfully form a country of their own and be self reliant, the SS cannot cos they speak too many different languages and cannot live together, the SE needs either the SS or the SW to really stand and no one is ready to accommodate their overbearing nature, the north too has so many tribes that can't stay together. Nigeria breaking up will cause so many problems and lead to another civil war cos some tribes who have entitlement mentality will suddenly realize they don't really have much to fall back on. I truly wish we can break up but mhen don't be fooled by some leeches wanting their own country, na blackmail to get more and grab from Nigeria, they have nothing to stand as a country of their own. How can you say you want a country of your own and another place that is so far geographically from your region at the same time, what a scam.

PHAYOL81:
The Germans, the English, the Irish, the Italians you talked about met an almost empty land save for few indigenes scattered around. And it's not just the New York, it's the way throughout the Americans but that doesn't make America or NewYork a German, Irish, Italian, an Engliah or French country/state. The only people who had stake threre now are all Americans with ancestral traces to wherever, Nigeria included. Any French who resides in America is just a resident until the authourity comfirms him/her a national. Same goes to the English, the Irish, the German, the Italian, the African (I keep putting the Aficans you omitted because they also won right to the country after the masters/slaves war of the seventeenth/eighteenth centuiries and majority of their great grand offsprings are even in the New York and other American states now code-named black Americans). The fact that these countries have ancestors who had claim to the nation of American doesn't mean their citizens have equal stake and claim. They have nothing. Some of the African countries are even under visa ban to America right now. That tells you what you need to know
The Edo people who settled at Isale Eko, the Oke-Ogun/few other westerners who settled at Ikorodu, the Brazilians/other South-Americans who settled in Isale Eko as well and many other settlers on the Mainland are now part of Lagos but that doesn't give any indigene of Edo, Oke-Ogun, South-Western States, Brazil, and/or other South American countries whose ancestral lineage or otherwise were among the early settlers any claim or stake in the state. Get it!
So as you can see, you guys are the actual ones not enlightened.

its a waste of time educating these illiterates, their trade is in lies which they pass from generation to generation, no matter how white is white and black is black, they will always claim its another colour, na their way. Entitlement mentality is their major problem

Redcrafton:

Obalenda those days was neighbors to Ikoyi. At that time you might be farming kola nut in Ilubo- Oshogbo


I am not talking of empty handed of losing properties...but empty handed of not investing in other region than mine...as you guys do.

Are you not afraid to taking peoples properties?

You can only do that if Nigeria ceases to exist...and I know must of you hate the word separation despite your claim that you have everything...

I just told you am not from oshogbo but you can't stop lying, its in your dna, we have moved beyond those Obalende days, wetin dey there sef

Redcrafton:
You don't understand. Lagos is special than kaduna, Kano, Ibadam, Enugu as Ogunlewe has said there is heavy federal investment there than Ibadan or Kaduna. Just like Abuja belongs to all.

I don't know why this is too difficult for you to understand and too painful to bear!

Lagos is not more special bruv, you guys cannot just remove your covetous eyes and not many yorubas adore Lagos like that. some folks prefer Ibadan and other SW or Nigerian cities to Lagos because of the less hustle, the igbos are the ones hallucinating over Lagos, even northerners just do their business here and go back to their place, Greed and covetousness is your problem. Very soon the real owners of Abuja would start the agitations for their land, its because they too are not too enlightened. Too much injustice in Nigeria with no clear cut social boundaries, this was the issue in Niger delta. No land in Nigeria is more special than others, its greed and lack of respect for social boundaries that is our problem. No city in Nigeria can belong to all, just do your business and move on, reason everyone goes to their village for christmas. Let's be truthful, hence we fight over nothing

Redcrafton:
The number of property I and my siblings have in Lagos will shock you. We were born Lagosians at Obalenda area, We invest where we live. We are not clannish who will leave depart from where have lived to our own towns empty handed, like you do.

as long as you don't interfere in our politics, your investments are in tact. You've been lied to that you may leave empty handed. I understand your fears now. thought you guys are that brave , na Obalende sef

Redcrafton:
E pain am. Even if I bring a link where you family tells the true you will do somethin harmful to them.

I understand your pain....I know the truth hurts like hell. Sorry.

"....The Igbo had the skill and the industry, and Lagos was the seat of the Federal Government of Nigeria and its major port. The Igbo have lived in Lagos since the 15th century when the Aro and other Igbo first settled in good number in a place we now call “Oyingbo” in the era of Benin and the Portuguese trade..." Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe

Ogunlewe was playing politics and have decamped to APC after then, the pdp in Lagos has done so much damage all because of votes, Ogunlewe cannot repeat this now. This why you guys call us betrayals, cos you don't understand yoruba politicians

Redcrafton:
What I mean is the Igbo speakers and Yoruba speakers from Kogi and Kwara all helped in developing Lagos. Hence Lagos belongs to all. I never said Igbos own Lagos.

You guys are not developing Lagos, you are only benefiting, a lot of yorubas have lived and are still living in Warri, portharcourt, Kano, Kaduna, Jos, Bauchi, others and have done business and got properties like the igbos do in other places but do not claim to develop the place, stop overrating the businesses you do in Lagos, its for your benefit period. The developer mentality you guys have is wrong and a bad entitlement mentality. The northerners do so much than you guys in Lagos, Dangote and Bua companies investments dwarf whatever the igbos do in Lagos but northerners will never claim they develop Lagos.

Lagos owe you nothing and you are entitled to nothing, let's not deceive ourselves, what happens in America and other western nations cannot work here cos we have no agreement on how we want to live as Nigerians, we are just feeding off another unjustly and reason we have so many problems. That we have been tolerant and our SW politicians making silly mistakes in the past does not mean we are fools. You can continue to wallow in your lies and nothing will change, you guys will continue to be seen as strangers in our land. We are only civilized enough to be at peace but when you overstep your bounds to interfere in our political space, you will be resisted completely by whatever means and the whole world knows that.

Redcrafton:
Then concentrate on Abeokuta. Its your heritage.

I have never seen the northerners claiming Kano or Kaduna.

They may be poor and less educated but they are not too greedy

An Ijebu man claiming Lagos. Wonders shall never end. What happens to your western capital?

I think you are a child,

Olodo, Abeoukuta can never be my heritage cos am not egba, am Ijebu and our territory extends into Lagos via Ikorodu and Epe till Ibeju-lekki. we also have strong presence in the Somolu area of Lagos, where you folks are ignorant about the SW is that you think the states alone categorize us, it does not, for example, the yewas are found both in Ogun and Lagos like the ijebus, so am not making false claim unless you want to bring another lie.

Talking about being a child, only children claim what can never be theirs because of their immature understanding

Redcrafton:
So people from Kwara and Kogi who speak Yoruba can claim Lagos?

Which book are you reading?

Inferiority is tearing you apart.

just like people who speak igbo and want to lie that they are from Lagos

Redcrafton:
When they say African is a s.hole...I know get what they mean.

I have never seen New Yorkers who are originally from American saying the Italian-New Yorker is stealing their heritage and identity.

Only people with deep inferiority complex do that.

You heritage belongs in you town..Oshogbo!

am not from Oshogbo oponu, am from the Ijebu axis of Ogun state [just 45 mins from Lagos], the most industrialized axis in the country, born in Lagos too. We ijebus have a big stake in the Lagos project than you can ever imagine. African is a shithole indeed and you want to claim shithole Lagos as yours, guy your confusion is now advanced Only folks with inferiority complex cry and die for what can never be yours.

Redcrafton:
Many people have lived in Lagos without speaking Yoruba...and they have not missed anything on the account of not speaking Yoruba.

What planet are you guys from?

Do you greedy man speak Niger Delta languages before you go to Abuja to get your share from federal account?

Nawahooooo!

just like many has lived in other places without speaking the indigenous language, I lived in Benin for more than 10 years and I did not speak edo language neither did I claim the place as mine, again what is the lingua franca of Lagos, answer nah

Redcrafton:
It's amusing that people from Osun are claiming what they can't replicate in Oshogbo. You guys have no shame I swear.

I need to leave your guys for your childishness for good.

you dey run? shameless people you are, always trying to steal other people's heritage and identity
