My SE brothers begging for appointments into FCT boards, chai.

Its always about appointments sha!

cramjones:
I don't mean this year. The data shows it is inevitable. The NBS reported 20% decline in agricultural production, with an expanding population of 2.1million per annum. There has also been a decline in processed food imports due to high cost of Forex. A combination such as this with data I provided on climate change, it is only inevitable. I don't pray for it to happen, but the data says so.

-CramJones

oga, you are wrong on food production, with the dip in oil prices, we are already being forced to jack up our food production, it will take time but food production is likely to increase with the southern states getting more serious in agriculture instead leaving it to the northerners alone cos no free money these days.

As long as the oil prices continue to dip, Nigerians will surely begin to seek alternative ways to survive, yes we have been lazy all these years but trust me Nigerians have now seen the reality.

Let him also go n stay @his ogbia mansion so that people can go there to visit him. I thought he is an elder Statesman, why keep running from pillar to post?

The thing tire me o, an ex president that cannot live among his own people like the others. smh

The guy has been freed o before another false rumor go start again

No wonder we are in recession, 15k usd for panadol? Jesu christi!

igbo kwenu, share the ram, share the gala

GEJ too de fall person hand abeg, he no de sit down one place? The guys he is visiting sits and live among their own people despite all the billions they stole but GEJ can't even live in Yenogoa or otueke for one week. Haba, wahala dey o and gullible folks still call him hero.

Both Foreign and local dignitaries go to ota to visit obj all the time, even tinubu who is not an ex president sef, dem de go im house go visit am.

Chai GEJ is almost a nobody, am sorry.

The PDP is a truly national party for all Nigerians regardless of tribe and religion. The APC is Islamic and Yoruba/Hausa/fuani up to 97%. weather the PDP presents a Muslim Hausa/Fulani we will vote PDP because they carry everyone along and that is the kind of party we want in Nigeria to make Nigeria great and Nigerians happy.

PDP lies a usual . In fact pdp is a Christian party

kettle84:
The southeast is not interested in APC for obvious reasons,because the party is anti southeast and south south. Rocha's woes started after he joined a party that dislikes his region.

Its the people in the ss and se that has been brainwashed that APC dislikes their region. It was a PDP campaign thing on the basis of religion to garner votes for GEJ. It worked in the se and ss but failed to work in the sw despite GEJ visiting all the churches.

Its however funny that the PDP will present a northern and muslim candidate in 2019 that the ss and se will vote for after the lies that a Muslim president will islamise Nigeria. Its all politics dear, no party dislikes any region as they will always need votes to be elected. Its a game of numbers.

Oby's sin against the igbos was her campaign against Jonathan, that's all. Her sin is same as ngige, amaechi and Rochas

[quote author=onatisi post=49211327][/quote]Fayose and Mimiko are on their way out of PDP indeed.

Oga stop the diversion, we know you guys's tactics, we will be here waiting in 2019 for you guys to come and tell us to vote PDP.

waiting for our brothers to blame PMB for this

onatisi:
Rubbish ,make this guy go siddon. Where was his brains when he was shouting sai Baba and change change then,now that buhari and apc have changed to him he is busy lamenting. We dont need ppl like omojuwa in this struggle to free Nigerians from the rule of the new dictator.

free Nigeria to get us back into the hands of PDP abi?

this is not about points, this is not about winning an argument.. this is about making Lagos better in general.. govt can tax foreign companies heavily and tax citizens lightly that's the benefit of been a citizen..[/quote]are you aware that there is a limit to which these companies can be taxed by Lagos state? You are talking as if Lagos state is the Federal Government, see why I said you have no point here. The Tax Lagos can take is what is permitted by the Federal laws of Nigeria, ok?

something good
You are part of the problem of Nigeria, I weep for people like you!
I hope your future generations have a better mentality than you is all I can say.

weep for your self bro and I hope your future generations usage of words will be better than yours.

Your holier than thou posts are the part of the problems Nigeria has today.

My peeps from the SE are finding it difficult to survive on this thread, if this was in SW or any other place, we no go hear word

Lesson: as you point one finger to others, the other four are pointing to your backyard.

But seriously the SE erosion issue has become a national issue that must be dealt with no wonder the migration of the Nigerian Jews to other lands

water project in otueke? if we talk now, dem go say we dey blame GEJ. smh

grodt999:
Your priorities are different from mine, that is why I have a better mindset than you ANYDAY!
Lagos real estate, ICT and financial services are a complete joke when it comes to the benefits TO 90% of the citizens of the state.
giving free land to investors, driving land prices up, creating an ULTRA-capitalist style economy well OUTSIDE the reach of the average citizen is daft, don't you think?
The average citizen of Lagos is better of a small scale farmer and an owner of decent sized parcel of land that counts as a future asset as supposed to capitalizing the lands to the level they have become!

NO single individual or foreign investor in china and other Asian countries can be given land just like that, they can only own 49% of it and in most cases A LEASE!
You can understand why the average Asian with or without work is worth more than the average Nigeria! They do not DASH valuable assets like land to investors!!!

Your docile mentality on foreigners is what is impoverishing Nigeria, that colo-mentality is standing in the way of change and oversight!

Mr man, when we see something good we appreciate it, when you become Governor let's see your mindset and we will evaluate you, have a nice day. What manner of chest beating here

codemaniacs:
I'm not saying there aren't infrastructure on the mainland.. There are many places on the mainland that need improvement..

Foreign investment is bad for the economy when they are not taxed heavily..

Nigerians should own Nigeria.

those improvement are ongoing as we speak bruv, its one after the other. Do you just foreign investment is bad? If they are even taxed heavily, you guys will come back here to say the govt is killing businesses and increasing unemployment. Honestly you have no point here.

If the foreign guys are leaving Nigeria you guys will still complain

grodt999:
"browse thru forums"
You think they need Nigerian forums to get ideas on how to exploit Nigeria? Did internet and forums exist during slavery when they took over 100 million slaves from places like Nigeria to work for free building the infrastructure they still use today?
Did internet exist when they started using WTO, IMF, Paris Club, World bank to defraud nigeria and destroy the economy?
The stupidity of the average Nigeria (like you) is enough for them to be 100 STEPS ahead of you, Imagine that the leaders who give them these valuable resources think like you - Do you not understand how the exploitation happens?

No foreign company or individual can acquire land in china and majority of Asian countries unless local shareholders own 51%, if you find anything on the land or divert it to something else, 51% stay with the country people and the government will tax you to high heavens on the remaining. AFRICANS LIKE YOU IS A DIFFERENT MATTER!

Did it ever occur to you that in many cases LAND might be more valuable than oil and gold? The land exists to appreciate with time.
South African blacks are where they are today simply by allowing whites to own the best lands in the country! You would think Nigeria might learn from that!!!

you are just being negative especially with your usage of words which are unnecessary

is our vp still the chariman, governing council of redeemers' university? haba

grodt999:
I suppose to an African like you farming means several hectres of CASAVA, tomato and YAM farm!
Talking to you people requires panadol and asprin, you will never think like Chinese or even gypsies!

I have friends who farm in Egansoyindo via Ketu Epe, near Lekki Epe Express and Agbowa Ikorodu. some parts of Agbara and areas going to Badagary

I know people who farm a few acres acres of land doing poultry, pig, fish and other Cash-crop, small to medium scale farming in all areas of Lagos.


please google:
Agriculture Land Lagos

There are places in Lagos with bush-no property development that stupid Nigerians are leaving until land price goes up for building houses!

Research..................................
family farm
Small Scale Farming and Sustainable Agriculture
Subsistence farming
Smallholder Agriculture

check the size of land required to grow.....................
Flowers
Lavender
Gourmet mushrooms
Landscaping trees and shrubs.
Garlic
Herbs
And other cash crops for local and international export!

oga leave technicalities, there are states in Nigeria with massive land areas 10 times that of Lagos that should specialize in Agriculture, this is why Lagos has gone into partnership with such states for Agriculture purposes. Sectors like real estate will continue to attract huge investments which is why we having this foreign investment . Let Lagos major on her strengths like real estate, ICT and Financial services and other states on theirs too.

nigerians are dynamic pple,,,its a normal thing to jus blame buhari...the marketers are jus selfish n greed .nnpc solely import pms n sells to the marketers ..they buy frm nnpc in naira.
NNPC access forex frm CBN @ 312 or there abt ...marketers buy with naira. is it nt time the masses rise against this marketers wu told us in may,#145 nt profitable...yet they all declare massive profit,, the business is nt profitable but check there financial reports so much profit than they've bin making in previous years. if its nt profitable hw many av close down
if yu r nt buyin with dollars why use dollar as an excuse,,,my pets indomie now double d price,,n d seller is tellin me dollar ti won.
the prices we find in market is nt base on manufacturing cost anymore,,,traders hike profit,,u do me i do yu price system evrywhr,,things r worst no thanks to d govt but we d citizens r makin worst worst

the marketers are just missing the era of subsidy payments, they want it back but thunder fire them, the forces of demand making some filing stations sell less than 145 is making them sick, awon were

Are we not in the era of deregulation? price will rise and fall, the marketers should stop taking advantage of uneducated Nigerians. The price of cooking gas have been rising and falling in recent times, that is how deregulation works.

At 145, some are selling at 140, 142 and so on. If petrol rise to 150 or more, some will still sell at 145 and less. The fluctuation in the dollar market will be responsible for price fluctuations while the forces of demand will finally determine price.

Its high time Nigerians gets less sentimental, I saw a filling station selling diesel at 175 and petrol 140 yesterday. The marketers are just looking for subsidy payments again, that's all but PMB won't give them jack awon ole

i have a thinking that Tinubu still works with Buhari, most of his apointments are Tinubu, i would believe Tinubu is keeping a low profile because it will hurt the anticurruption stance of the president. Take Ameachi for instance, a lot of dust is being raised because he is in the presidency. As for Edo election, there is a report that Tinubu is a bit ill to attend

Tinubu has been edged out, do you hear the likes of bisi akande talking again? most of the appointments are not tinubu's just some to make it look as if he is still there. PMB has played a fast one on the Tinubu's camp and its telling on our economy and the opposition has taken full advantage. Amaechi and his camp were 100% compensated hence you can't hear any noise from there.

Tinubu might have his issues but you don't shut out folks who got you to power because of greedy sycophants who are even worse. Its so bad that the body guards who worked with PMB during his campaign have also been shut out while folks like Udoma, Heinekan, Lokpibiri, Ita enang e.t.c. who only decamped to APC few months after PMB captured power holds sway in this Govt.

I wish PMB well especially with Edo and Ondo state elections beckoning.

I will only doff my hat for the likes of Fayemi and Fashola if they can also help PMB out of the recession that Nigeria is currently in. If not they should just tender their letters and resign, the so called politicking against Tinubu is the reason we are all in this economic mess.

Its so glaring now that it was Tinubu structures in Lagos that aided the success of Fashola as Lagos Governor with the way Ambode is following suit. It also led to the emergence of Fayemi as Governor as I remembered how Fayemi sang Tinubu praises way back.

I also hope that Fayemi and Fashola will also make sure that they help their brother oshiomole in edo state to deliver for APC if not Ondo state will be gone after Edo too.

Finally it is finally glaring that the likes of Fashola, Fayemi in collaboration with the PMB gang can never be compared with the Tinubu camp in level of competence, tact, dynamism and so on. We can all abuse Tinubu but we can't deny results that is there for all to see.

grodt999:
You people are an embarrasement to civilization!

No, it is not a good one Mr African.

Commonsense AND Agriculture is the key to Nigeria's economic crisis, not the reliance on oil or by products.

If the leadership and citizens of the country do not have commonsense and the ability to use ABUNDANT arable land, Nigeria will be in a stagnant country for a very very long time.

Lagos do not have land for agriculture please, do you know area size of Lagos? they have also been getting land in other states to be fully involved in agriculture.

grodt999:
Your comment is actually the stupid one. A a typical example of a dumb-African that western people like!

Let me give you a clue - they can let the land appreciate, sell it and make a very neat profit out of Nigeria's uncontrolled land appreciation!
They could also have PRIOR idea of what is on the land and tap that resource!
They could also switch gears and use the land to develop something profitable (outside the original plan)

Does that make sense or I have to break it down for you like a 2 year old?

Let's not be too negative nah, don't you think those investors browse thru forums like this to know the minds of Nigerians, you may just be giving them an idea they never thought of. I think its better we appreciate Government's efforts to improve our National and comment on how it can be greatly enhanced instead of unnecessary pessimism. You are giving food to haters to pounce on bruv.

People are getting kidnapped, Lagos has to take control of its security not just fund them because they might end up looting the funds.

Have u looked at pictures of where zuck visited on the mainland

Lagos should stop its "elitist governance" and provide infrastructure for the mainland.

A lot of infrastructure are coming up on mainland please, let's stop spreading old tales that are no longer true. If you say security yes but its gradually improving and will get better as time goes on. If the security is that bad, there will be no increase in foreign investment.

ironheart:
Good, while other states are complaining Lagos is investing heavily for the future. No one remember the hardship when Tinubu was clearing the street n putting structures for Fashola and Ambode. Everyone wants to invest in Lagos now. Same thing with Buhari, he is laying down structures for our tomorrow but all we get to see now is the hardship.

Change begins with me

But why has Tinubu been excluded from the National politics of APC, its so glaring now as APC is struggling to even win edo state now and Ondo state too is not sure.

Something is wrong somewhere in Abuja, the politicians have betrayed themselves and is telling on our National economy while Lagos i think is no where recession with all the developmental projects springing up everywhere in the state.

PMB need to get back to those who helped him to power, he has been hijacked by those who were opposing him before but sneaked back to his camp after getting power. If not the present hardship nationwide will linger and is no joke.

megawax8:
Anyone who has clarity on the content(majorly the downsides) to this agreements should come forth as i am aware there was some back and forths too during President Jonathan's tenure if i can remember clearly.

The problem is that our manufacturing sector and other small scale sectors will be totally wiped out if Nigeria agrees to the EPA rubbish. It is even the manufacturing sector that is against the idea not just the FG. Imagine companies like Nestle and others who have huge manufacturing plants here competing with their rivals from Europe.

If we truly want to industrialize as a nation, Nigeria should never go near that EPA deal. I have been in meetings where this have been analysed and discussed extensively. MAN [Manufacturing association] will never support the idea especially in these days of trying to encourage made in Nigeria products, going near the EPA deal will be a contradiction then me and you will come back here to lambast govt of not protecting Nigeria's businesses.

Honestly am so ashamed as a christian, when i saw earlier the reaction to the declaration of sallah by the sultan, I said oh not again, the man never declared public holiday nah.

To my fellow Christians who keep shouting islamization agenda, its high time they gave us statistics of Christians who have converted to islam since PMB became President or forever hold their peace. The disgrace and shame is becoming too much to bear.
