You are not a christian.
You are just a religious person. You go to church on sundays and worship your pastor.
Even in the face of tribal bashing, a true christian would not respond in order for peace to reign.

This country will have to accomodate UN peacekeepers if the God-forsaken dullard tyrant does not retire to his cows when his kicked out in 2019. Evil pharoah.

Hagm0nd:
I think the topic should be what did the brave yebhoes do,when minority tribes like ijaw and ikwere seized their properties after the civil war?
They declared a long round of prayers and fasting.
BTW who noticed xtorse the mad man is quoting and liking his comments all by himself.

ibe123:

caracas:

Cos current statistics shows igbos are the most populated in Lagos.
How come if truly they have bin deported?
See why I asked politely if u are well or maybe oshogbo weed is responsible?

codemaniacs:
1. Lagos was already developed before the FG picked Lagos as the FG and they picked Lagos state for obvious reasons, Lagos was already developed.


2. Lagos was already a developed entity even before Nigeria's became a country and before independence.

3. Lagos as the Federal capital was confined to Lagos island and not anything beyond cater bridge. Learn some social sturdies..

4. All the industrial estates in Lagos from ikeja industrial estate to Apapa industrial estate to Mushin, Matori, and Ilupeju industrial estates that developed Lagos state and made Lagos the commercial capital of Nigeria and west Africa was built by the western region under Awolowo and these industrial estates are still responsible for major chunks of Nigerian's industrial activities, goods and services. They were not in Lagos Island or built by the FG and they were even built before independence and Nigeria as a country.

5. FG did not do anything special for Lagos and in fact, they built 3 bridges and some worthless and neglected places like the national stadium in surulere and last time I checked, the FG built bridges and airports in other states so what's special about Lagos?

6. Lagos is what it is today and most importantly since 1999 because of good and credible leadership with strong managerial skills, good foresight and vision and not the FG.

7. To show you the meaning of great leadership with vision and foresight in Lagos, the Metro rail we are constructing now was under construction back in the 80s before it was terminated, but guess what, Lagos leaders from then till now did not give up and it's coming into fruition.

8. The first IPP in Nigeria was undertaken by Tinubu is Lagos and if the worthless and useless PDP FG didn't sabotage that 2721MW which is still active till today, we won't have power issues in Lagos and Nigeria. It's leadership and foresight..

9. We talk about Lagos and IGR today, but when Tinubu boosted Lagos IGR from common N500 to billions which allowed Fashola and now Ambode to have funds for the largest infrastructure revolution in Nigeria, many ignorant and hateful people with bad bele were badmouthing and shouting alpha beta and corruption, but guess who is having the last laugh, the people of Lagos raking in more IGR than even many countries in Africa.

10. Lastly, the FG did not manage Lagos state, Lagos state governors and Yorubas manage Lagos.

FG gov. doesn't tell leaders in Lagos what to build or spend their money on or what contract to sign or not sign, the FG did not make or advise Lagos state how to grown their economy, how to grow their IGR or where and howto invest their money, the decisions were made in Alausa by the people of Lagos state.

Yorubas don't wait or beg the FG for anything, they role up their sleeves and go to work, they built the best and the most beautiful bridge in Nigeria and west Africa on their own.


The Nigerian Government didn't have the capacity and talent to manage and run a state like Lagos since they've been bad managers since independence.


Leadership in Lagos developed Lagos state.

aribisala0:
What you are sayin is ignorant.
Go and find out about the laws governing company tax in Nigeria instead of repeting what you heard without veirfication.

The constitution in what governs how taxes are paid in Nigeria. COMPANY Taxes have NOTHING to do with where headquarters are located rather the individual taxes are what state government collects i.e PAYE based on where a worker is resident. Now how many oil workers are resident in Lagos?
The other thing is this oil companies in Nigeria are exempt from the company tax that applies to every other company in Nigeria, THERE IS A SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT.

All said and done headquarters location is not fiscally beneficial to Lagos. Companies did it because it allowed them to relate to government from there.
Headquarters location is only relevant between countries internationally as far as taxation is concerned

rottenegg:
Yes! It may seem an absurdity but that's the truth. Do you have an idea of the taxes, fees, bills that are directly or indirectly billed those who engage in business importing and exporting(which is almost practically everyone indirectly). You think it's only the FG who gains via the ports? Why do you think every company has its HQ in Lagos? It's not for the bloody traffic or the serenity of Lagos. It's due to the only vibrant port in the country. Take the port out or reduce the ships coming in to maybe Calabar port or Onne port.... or like ...create a working port at Onitsha, Lagos is dead.
You have every right to disagree... but the facts are there. I don't have the numbers now on their monthly IGR but I will post them here later.

Why are you running mad on my moniker did you see an Igbo masquerade in your dreams. I know you are one of the yoruba muslimudeens that claimed to be 'yoruba christians' who would vote dullard mumuhamado.

After the elections you transformed yourself to 'WE SS' who hated Igbos and Biafra, it backfired as you were fished out and exposed.

your land is next Sharia vs Christian front. You made it so.

ShootToKill:
The truth hurts, the redeemed pastor that was killed in the north for the same blasphemy, was she Igbo?

What is our business, if you decide to turn your land to Zamfara, Igbos have defended themselves even in Sabon gari, Kano, they will do same in lagos too.

They will simply send wives and children home and slug it out with you and your muslim hausa lords like they did in Kano few years ago.

Please allow hausa to turn lagos to Boko haram land. We go like am.

ShootToKill:
yorubas think it will end with the Igbo and other non-yoruba in lagos. Hausas are testing the ground while yoruba dey play sycophancy.
yorubaland is the new sharia front. Hausa don gather liver for their papa house, thats pure sophistication.

ShootToKill:
Muslimudeen, please go and join hausa in hunting down christians.

ConqueredWest:
Since Buhari came into power, his tribesmen are killing people all over Nigeria

Imagine , attempting to kill an Igbo in Yoruba land.

ShootToKill:
My brother, are you seeing what 'I am saw' in the future of yorubaland with the new found Abooki confidence in yorubaland? Can you see the trend that yorubaland is the new north.

The hausas will fall back and gauge yoruba reaction to this incident, of course they won't want to annoy hausa/fulanis, giving the hausas the confidence to continue.

In the next few weeks, another incidence like this will occur again. Just watch

BeeBeeOoh:
A religion that sees another one from a different faith as an "Infidel" is not a religion..

A religion that kills at any slighest provocation is not a religion..

A religion that preaches violence is not a religion..

FYI: I don't spread falsehood, i make my statements & back it up with facts.

Please bow your head in shame

ShootToKill:
yorubas giving the hausa muslims leverage and confidence over their land in southern nigeria.
Hausas gathering big liver to attack southerners in the south. Dem no dey fear again.

By the time the Hausas are through with non-indigenous christians in yorubaland, they will definitely turn on yoruba Christians on their own land. Anybody with half a brain knows this.
I dey laugh yoruba people no be small, wetin go hit them for future for their own land, I mo sure they go fit survive am.

rottenegg:
The only reason Lagos works that way is because it has the only vibrant port in the country..... and that's because they have been sabotaging other ports from taking off or running at full potential.
If this man actually said the above... then he's not that smart. Take the Apapa wharf out of the picture.... Lagos is dead. Apapa generates more internal revenue than most states get from FG plus their own IGR.

discusant:
Lol, the same way your bros and sis left the UK to Nigeria for UK people to mind their country? The same way the UK told Nigerians to leave the UK before Nigeria could get independence from the UK?

They no de sell sense for market ooo!!

Not too good an assessment from Emir Sanusi.
How can one undermine the importance of Niger Delta region in the socio-economic status of this country?
Really,this country is not united in any sense.
Niger Delta remains the heartbeat of Nigeria,as we depend wholly on crude oil for foreign exchange.
If Niger Delta was to be in the northern part of the country... all these almajiris masters would never have long clamoured for independence and am sure they would have achieved it.
Stop killing it...Niger Delta is the major strength of the country.
