Lagos is a cosmopolitan city which doesn't belong to any tribe or group. Lagos is way above being defined by tribe. Be guided.


Yes, you are right Lagos is cosmopolitan state, but it doesn't mean that it does not belong to any tribe, you can't isolate Lagos from the rest of the South-West it's Yorubaland and belongs to Yoruba people and Nigerians as well who wants to live and make their living

Quite unfortunate, in a hard times and struggling economy of America while they’re in a middle of pandemic, an officer added more salt to the injury without thinking about the aftermath consequence of his actions would be, now America is boiling, people trooping out in a lockdown with another risk of increasing the pandemic without social distancing after thousands of people have died from the virus, what’s the gain of the Officer now?

It is the responsibility of government to create the next hub to decongest Lagos state by building solid infrastructures and business support facilities that will force people to leave Lagos to other states.


Take a look at Apapa, Tincan area, the government ought to have declared an emergency on the issue of Apapa seaport.

Get other seaports outside Lagos working fully at all cost.


Create seaports in Ondo, Anambra and connect them by rail with Lagos, Portharcourt and Abuja. Help other states develop so industries can naturally relocate their factories to those other states and watch people naturally leave Lagos for good.


Nigerian government seem not to be ready to put Nigeria on roadmap to national prosperity

Exactly my thought, until emergency is declared in our ports, Lagos seaport will continue to be an eyesore everything seems to be concentrated in Lagos as if only Lagos is Nigeria, I don’t know why FG find it difficult to create seaports in other coastal states like Ondo, Rivers, Akwa-Ibom, Delta, Anambra to decongest Lagos and save the stress of people coming to Lagos from faraway to clear their goods, NPA needs to do something about this

You are still missing the point.

In our case the ref did not refuse to use the VAR.

He used it and still made a wrong judgement.


In this case the ref refused to use it at all.

Not once but twice.


Haba.





Ok I got the point though you made a valid observation here but you will agree with me that Brazil would still have won the match if the referee had gone for the VAR twice to assess the situation, this VAR of a thing is generating lot of controversy

Messi Is 100 percent right on this one.

I disagree VAR favoured Argentina against the Super Eagles in Russia World Cup by refusing to award us another penalty but the pendulum didn’t swing in his favour hence the excuse he’s giving. Brazil were a better side in winning the match

Firstly he blamed the pitch which to me is an excuse, the football pitch in the picture above look good and secondly blaming the tournament and match officials as corrupt, arrogant statements...........typical Argentine, no wonder Argentina has been stagnant in winning trophies since Maradona era cos of their inconsistency unlike Brazil who are consistent, I don’t like Argentina judging by their histories of racism and diminishing of their black citizens some centuries ago by reducing them to less than 1% trying to turn the country to whitest in South America

Lyoncrescent:
Amazing how some keep calling Lagos a no man's land .
The thing is my mum is from Lagos. Lagos Island to be precise. She can trace four generations back to her family house in Lagos Island. The history of Lagos from the period of the aworis showed that yorubas dominated the landscape prior to the Oba of Benin expedition. Every Oba of Lagos has been yoruba. Historically, yorubas have been the dominant tribe in Lagos even before Nigeria became a Nation.

Saying that Lagos is a melting point for everyone is acceptable. After all it is the commercial capital of Nigeria and so many tribes have lived their entire life here which is why its a melting point. London is another classic example as the curent Mayor of London is of Pakistani Origin but also sees himself as a Londoner. Look at the way Nigerians are moving to Canada for better opportunities in droves. Canada is also becoming a melting point.

I cant imagine the Mayor of London now saying simply because he is of pakistani origin, London is now a no mans land. Or, the millions of Nigerians and Africans who have left for Canada should now turn back and say that Canada is a no mans land simply because maybe one Nkechi Adebunmi should become Prime Minister of Canada in future.

The thing is when people say Lagos is a no mans land, they actually attempt to diminish the cultural ties that generations have had in Lagos prior to migration. Based on almost every known record, yorubas were the orignial settlers in Lagos. If I now move to Enugu or Kano and i am popular in my community there and i speak the language and i win a seat in the house of reps there and get a street named after me , can i then also turn arround and say Enugu or Kano is no mans Land ?

Lagos is a melting point. You can say you are also a Lagosian. It can be our lagos together if you want but to say its a no mans land in the context people say is offensive/insensitive to say the least.


Good points............The strangers are more than the indigenes as a result of rapid immigration of different people of different ethnic backgrounds cos of Lagos been the federal capital for a long period of time thus making it to look like “no man’s land” but that does not rule out the fact that it’s Yorubaland, now that the capital is shifted to Abuja, which in the nearest future Abuja will also be tagged as “no man’s land” as a result many people migrating there and also many foreigners living there currently.

Why are these people so blood thirsty and violent.

Do you know that Buhari secretly sacks Funso Doherty the acting DG of PENCOM appointed by Prof Osibanjo while acting as the president when he was in London. Osibanjo appointed her and the DG of Bank of Industry. 

Buhari has appointed one Hajia Aisha Dahir-Umar as the Acting Director-General in his stead and kept it secret. Visit PENCOM website and confirm for yourself.

Recall the news that FG borrowed 6trillion from pension scheme was recently leaked. What was wrong that the DG told Nigerians that the Government of Buhari has tinkered with the savings of our aged parents in pension scheme. Tell me any country where the government borrows from pension scheme without the consent of the owners of the money.

Remember that Ambassador Ayo Oke was removed as DG of NIA. That was an appointment given to Yorubas in 2013. Buhari could not find another Yoruba man with requisite qualification to replace Oke but brought in his kinsman, Abubakar Rufai.

Kemi Adeosun voluntary resigned on the basis of allegation and Buhari quietly elevated her second which was Zainab Ahmed to be minister. Several Months have passed and Buhari has quietly made that position that of the North. 

Mention any Hausa Fulani Northerner in appointment who was removed that was replaced by a Yoruba man.

I am speaking directly to Yoruba supporters of Buhari. 

We have a nepotic bigot in power. Wear your sense of objectivity and see that you are not that important to Buhari.

I believe Tinubu and Osinbajo are not leading in the right direction 



Thanks for this observation I tot I was the only one who noticed...................When Osinbajo was the acting President he removed former DSS Daura in reaction to invasion of National Assembly, he replaced him with Seiyefa from Niger-Delta who is the most qualified, Buhari came back from London he removed him replaced him with Northerner and again Buhari removed Onnoghen from Niger-Delta and put another Northerner there...............the entire South is marginalized in his key appointments yet some people in the South-West still support this Nepotic and Oligarch President for second term, quite unfortunate!
Sports / Re: Mikel Obi Reacts To Nigeria 2 - 0 Loss To Croatia by holums(m): 3:31pm On Jun 17, 2018
boldking:

As I watched the Argentina and Iceland match today and
wondered why there were no black players in the Argentinean
team when other South American teams had black or biracial
players, I remembered a conversation I had last year.
It was while I was on a cruise from Florida to the Grand
Cayman Islands in the Caribbean.
Between an Argentinean doctor and myself, who had walked
up to me during lunch one day and struck up a conversation
with me.
There was no hiding the attraction.
We had bonded much to the chagrin of her three Argentinean
friends.
On the deck of the ship that day, she kept going on about how
she loves black men and looks forward to traveling so she can
meet them.
I asked her.
"Don't you have black people in Argentina?"
She said with a matter of fact candour.
"No. Long time ago, after slavery, we killed them all."
I was taken aback.
She smiled.
And continued.
"Very bad. I am ashamed of my people. It was very systematic
though. Very well thought out. First they forced most of the
men to fight for Argentina against Paraguay. They knowingly
sent them into battles that were poorly planned so that the
Paraguay army will do for them what they couldn't themselves
do. Kill the blacks. Most of them died there. The remaining of
them they forced to live in this province were there was a
plague. A disease that the government refused to curb so that
it can also do for them what they couldn't do. Kill the blacks.
The refused to set up hospitals, clinics, adequate shelter, food
outlets, nothing. They created the best environment for the
disease to thrive. It killed the rest of the men that had
survived the war. The darker you are, the higher the chance
they will send you to that place to live or to the war to die. The
lighter skinned women they forced them to sleep with the
white men, so that their children are biracial, then they forced
the children when they grew older to sleep with white men, so
that the blackness of the skin of the children became whiter
and whiter until there was no longer any visibly black people
seen. It was so bad that blacks fled to Chile, Peru, Bolivia,
Brazil and even Paraquay where they were better treated even
though not as well as they should be treated as human beings
deserving full equality. Atleast those ones did not want to kill
them and accepted to give them protection and a means of
livelihood. As a matter of fact in Chile, there was a city called
Arica where Black people were so accepted and respected
that in the 1700s two black free man, one called Anzuréz were
elected mayors. But the white colonial masters from Spain
came six months later and nullified the elections, they were
afraid of other cities giving black people too many rights. But
the blacks who had found succour did not complain, they sent
word for others to flee Argentina and come join them. Afterall
what was cancelled elections compared to certain death?"
Then she went silent as though trying to replay the magnitude
of the crime in her mind again. Then she said it in a sombre
tone in order to drive it home to me.
"The ones the Argentineans did not kill through war or
disease, and rape and impregnate, fled the country and
ultimately we got rid of the blacks."
I listened in rising sorrow.
She continued academically.
"So although they abolished slavery in 1815 in Argentina, it
continued until 1853, after that the main preoccupation of the
leaders was how to get rid of the black slaves and their
descendants. Our president who ruled us from 1868 to 1874,
Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, wrote in his diary in 1848, this
was long before he became president and slavery ended that -
'In the United States… 4 million are black, and within 20 years
will be 8 million…. What is to be done with such blacks, hated
by the white race?' - It shows that he was already thinking of
how to eliminate black people before he became President
and when he became President, he succeeded."
"Didn't the world say anything?"
"No. They ignored it. I am sure most of them wanted to do the
same thing but failed. At that time, they admired them. I
remember when I will go to Brazil as a child, my father's friend
will say in disgust as he looked at the black Brazilians - we
should have had your guts and finished them off. All of them.
Make Brazil white just like Argentina."
"And the Europeans?"
She laughed.
"It is an open secret, just like King Leopold and his genocide
in Congo. No one talks about it, but they know about it.
Atleast the older ones do. The younger ones not so much.
Why do you think all the Nazis ran to Argentina after World
War 2?"
I was silent.
She continued.
"Because it was the perfect place for the most evil racists in
history to live."
Then she looked out to the infinitely blue sea around the ship
and sighed audibly before she continued.
" Sadly, to some extent, it still is welcoming and accomodating
of racial hatred. We took the Tango from the African slaves
and made it our own. In Argentina, not one person will tell you
the true history of that dance. They don't want to associate it
with Africa. In fact if you ask them about black people in
Argentina they will tell you that there has never been black
people in Argentina. They teach them in schools. They rewrite
the history. They make it all white. And as I said it is all
underneath the surface. They never come out and say we hate
black people. Argentina is only for whites or anything like that.
They have just fixed the country to only be for white people."
I looked at her friends, Argentineans like her, who were
lounging on the chairs on the deck, clad in their tiny bikinis,
drinking pina coladas and smiling.
She followed my gaze and then turned to me.
"Don't be fooled by all those smiles, scratch the surface and
you will see that all they want is for you to disappear."
Toronto.

Yes the history is true but there are still Afro-Argentines in present day Argentina. Many of them were exterminated but not all were killed some of them fled to neighbouring countries as at 1930s to 1980s their population was reduced to 0.6 million, some represented Argentina in sports especially Olympics and football btw 1930s to 1980s like Santiago Lovell, Jorge Trezeguet(father of David Trezeguet, Fmr French Striker) though many of them are light in complexion like Tissone afro Argentine footballer currently playing in Italy.

If this occurs in a civilised country, protest would definitely take place the following day. We don't know when to stand for our right, we allow these miscreants oppress, steal, frustrate us yet still come out online and offline to hail them.

Ofcourse people are scared to die but how many people would the government kill when the people's voice are one without gaining international attention?

The innocent and tired people trekking since morning are receiving call "jejely" from their loved ones to know where they have reached yet these wicked elements further wrecked their emotion by seizing their phones which would be sold to computer village boys at a ridiculously cheap price.

Government in the past and present have failed us in the country. The civilians are really suffering. No need telling me to think home if I leave this country. I won't look back.
Nice one

God bless you..........we don't know how to or like to fight for our fundamental human rights, even to protest it's difficult............hence we like the suffering we are experiencing, no common goal unites us. Until we come out to say enough is enough we will continue to suffer ourselves and be a stagnant nation. United we stand to progress, divided we fall
