lagerwhenindoubt: Hell no!! if it were a Jesus Christian Organisation they would have jumped at Amnesty without giving it a second thought..

My bro, the thing tire me o. Maybe let's say Boko is a Hindu or Budha group, but not Islamic. Abi?

Cusubaba: Haba timid tribal ape! Chinua Achebe, the father of African Modern Literature is not good to you because he is an Igbo man. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, the first African to be world bank Managing Director is not good to you because she is an Igbo woman. Emeka Anyaoku, the first African to be Commonwealth Secretary General is not good to you because he is an Igbo man. Haba bastard, why are u a bitter ape?

Hey Dude, that thing is not worth even a nanosecond of yours.

*To avoid being banned, please ensure that your post is not offensive to Islam*.

Very correct sir. Yes, Boko haram is never an Islamic Group!
Boko haram is a Jesus Christian Organisation!!

Yes, some people are too shortsighted for their own good and survival...
Yet even worse is the fact the people in Lagos State govt are too longsighted for their own devilish, selfish, wicked, policies and satanic agenda.
The people of Lagos are simply fed with the tyranny being played out Fashola and co. Even any good moves by the govt can now be misconstrued.

This "one Nigeria", abi "worne Nigeria", or abi na "won Nigeria"?

There's really no point explaining to the Thomases in the house, how the nokia phone I bought from SLUT back in the days fell short of my expectations, even before waranty expiry. One thing I'll always go to SLUT to do these days is maybe know the prices of phones and nothing more. Let em stick to their evil ways if they so wish, afterall they are in "business". Thread just confirmed I'm not alone afterall. I not fit shout!

Lulu, were a learner? You should have known better. Anyway, thanks for trying to sensitize the learners.

larry_jayz: i thought u were a real hip hop head until u mentioned rick ross, i am so disappointed, his lyrics his shit!!!!

freegaza: It is not true that the goverment is incapable of dealing with bh...The gov't has made so much success in the fight...I am in maiduguri the last time a bomb blast is 6 weeks ago...The problem is while the jtf is fighting them(BH) alot of innocent civilians die...Should boko haram reject amnesty the federal should deplore like 50,000 to borno state and every kanuri youth btw the age of 18-30 that has never been to school should be killed(90% of them are bh)...Before you start shouting genocide I AM KANURI AND I HATE THEM MORE THAN I HATE SATAN

Please could u convince us better that what u just said is in order.

I wont be surprised.

Bros, e been don tey wey I know many of these things, but I no lie you try well well, at least most learners go grab plenty. God bless you!

What if these communities were quarreling over who would be the best in something like agriculture?

take dat: The governments of Borno and Yobe also asked Maku not to visit their respective states, and they are not ACN governors! Leaders not keeping to their word isn't strange, after all, some people are accusing the president of the same thing! Adhering to a Gentlemanly agreement is not constitutional, so is the NGGT!

Surprised this's coming from you. That's evil! Not keeping to agreements is not a virtue. How do you view a friend does not keep his word. Wont you call him a traitor? FYI, I dont really fancy the tour.

tomakint: I think I am on a contrary view to yours, to me its a good idea!

k.

Demdem:
And he can decide to keep mute and talk at his best time. It doesn't change anything. It's his decision. He is against it, period.

Don't think that's a good idea.

D'Vanguard:
it is obvious some people will always want to oppose FASHOLA. What do you expect PDP to say? that Fashola is right. Haba, meetings can be held and resolution are made on behalf of the simple majority. During the subsidy period, it was all over the news that all the 36 states gov endorsed it, until Osun state gov came out openly to condemn it. Challenging them that he was against it at the FEC meeting. But if majority of the Gov accepts it then it becomes a majority opinion. SINCE IT IS NOT BINDING NOR HAVE A LEGAL BACKING TO COMPEL GOV THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO RESENT. THEN WHO FINANCE IT? ARE YOU SAYING THE GOV SHOULD FINANCE THEM ALSO.

Anyone who speaks out during and after such a meeting, even joins the masses in protesting, leaves a clear picture of where he stands.

Demdem: The report said Govs forum was in support however its obvious now that Fashola was obviously among the minority dissenting voice as regards the tour however since majority of the killer govs wanted it, they surely had their way. Fashola never agreed to this malady.

If that was the case, if he came out immediately after the meeting and voiced out his mind there's nothing to it.

danny301: As it stands today, APC is the only alternative we have. If we think PDP can't lead us to the promise land then we have to give APC a trial... We are the same people who speak as if we have lost faith in PDP yet we desperately try to find fault with those that are providing alternative platform for us... It's high time we understood that there is no perfect system any where in this world.... Fashola has not done too bad in Lagos even if his policies do not down well with some persons... If every Governor in Nigeria is able to perform like Fashola i think Nigeria as a whole would have been better than what it is today, more over APC is not just about Fashola or any particular individual..... It's either we give APC the benefit of doubt and see where that can lead us or we stick to PDP and stop complaining hence these are the only two options we have now except we are looking for a military government.

It will not be difficult to have me watch these things happen and keep quiet. It'll rather be impossible impossible to have me watch such and keep mum. That would be callous of me! Fash should come tell us all hell would be let loose if he threaded rather more softly and with the human face which we are asking him to, which should make him even a much better leader.
I want a sound opposition, an opposition that takes very seriously full and true account of details of the lot of the less privileged in our society, the ordinary citizens. . .traits APC should be exhibiting even as 2015 draws nearer.

pro01: Kindly share your experience. This kidnapping menace has assumed a worrisome new dimension.

Relax. Not yet worrisome enough. When we say these pressures from everywhere, govts at different levels, on people who ordinarily would mean no harm, our theorists dont seem to understand. If for eg tolerance for street begging/trading (peaceful) is at zero level, then armed robbery and kidnapping (violent) which have high guaranted success rate in our clime as it were, are being even more attractive. No surprise if most of the pepetrators are jobless graduates. The tempo's already hot why'd those in govt make it even hotter?

It's still fresh on my mind that a good friend of mine survived a similar bus kidnap incident with serious wounds two weeks ago.

ODUA_NEGRO: who is this amnesty international, what are their credentials and statutory authority on moral or legal judgement?

tell amnesty to fvk off....the only amnesty we recognize in west is OPC.

Yes o my bro. Make dem jus go to hell joor. After all me and you are not among those unfortunate poor ones affected. Maybe if were we might then see these things differently.

Anything is possible.

I'd say not just the SE but entire Nigerians. There are few things he can still do in office that might change the story however.

Interesting. How sure are we that Boko victims and not pepetrators will be receiving the money? Giving genuinely in a way in most certainly gets down to the needy is welcome. Yet an irony same gov Fash is back in Lagos busy destroying the homes of many thousands of the poor and needy rendering them homeless within a very short notice. Let's keep watching and we'll see what exactly it is the APC is coming up with. We neednt remind them they've got lots of work to do to secure the confidence of the ordinary Nigerian.

Omexonomy: durring the abiola riot when a lot of people relocated lagos was a shadow of itself. You might understand me better if you know the period i am talking about. Besides why are we one nigeria . Apart from lagos i you ever tried to visit other state. I know you will say abuja.

Frankly speaking, Lagos as we know it today is a product of collective efforts of Nigerians, not just the indigenes themselves.
'One Nigeria', a phrase that is never always true.

Sad. Peeps have got to brace up for these shocks as they keep coming or they do have a choice? Many have argued you should just "shape up or shape out" while the reign of terror lasts. Yes poverty is a crime and a mark of not being worthy of any regard or respect. As usual there really is no need to give the affected people plenty of time or to xray other better available options than all the sudden eviction. Even a wicked judge is urged to tamper justice with mercy. On the state of Lagos that is rigidly governed by strangulating laws, I guess I may now be guilty for speaking against the impeccable govt of Lagos.

quality01: one ting is sure dat if labaran maku visits any state dat sponsored his tour, he wil neva find any fault. practical example is abia state. D citizens felt so disappointed dat quez r filtered 2 suit d gov n major places he needs to visit was ignored.plz he shld stop all diz scam n tink of beta way 2 raise money 4 his govenorship election. I even wonder y GEJ wil approve of such

No be lie my bro.

I personally think the maku tour is not necessary. But did gov Fashola not agree to it along with the govs forum?

tomakint: Fashola is coming out strong as a "Marketable Presidential Candidate" for APC, the question is still this, if Lagos can generate N30 billion monthly and the same Lagos is still like that? Then one can wonder what to expect if someone like Fashola (Tinubu's boy-boy) eventually make it to the Presidency! I am still watching

I'll rather not take sides. But that's a rather giant mindboggling question that'll require some good detailed explanation to do justice to. To whom much is given, much is expected. Reminds me Nigerian govt: more you look, less you see.

That aside, I think the tour may not be a good idea but I understand all govs agreed to it through their forum.

Think veteran Jarus might know one or two things?

Bros all your points make sense die. You for kukuma give us the link to the full writeup abi na ebook. God bless ya.

CyberG: Let them go back to their native land and do their business there. The laws and respect of your host states far outweigh whether you make 100 B or 100 Tr. In as much as some of the traders are appealing to our better angels, some ungrateful ibo bigots make it difficult to not want to repatriate the entire ibo back to their villages in SE. You don't own any other land except iboland. You will also have to pay your taxes in full, obey the laws, respect your hosts and understand that you are tenants with absolutely no rights to the land or any market.

Very well said! Help me tell them. I concur with you 100% in full, in the true spirit of nationhood.
