I can't understand why the Igbos are allowed in such huge numbers in Lagos. It is totally unacceptable and stupid.

DesChyko:
I have an assignment for you.
Pick any bank of your choice in each of the LGs in Lagos. Take stats of the people paying money into LASG account(s). Hopefully, only hopefully, you MAY tell yourself the truth.
Translate 80% to numbers let me know you are not just quoting a shekpe joint statistics

You and ya people must be oloshi-s. Why don't you go and pay the taxes in Igboland? Why? Why? Your barren empty useless land is not enough, then you pay your landlords or get lost!!!

shukuokukobambl:


Frustration and hatred will kill you. Are you no longer happy with the bombing in your already wasted environment? Are you tired of seeing oil and black smoke all around you? You will continue to enjoy your degradation since rational thinking is beyond you.

The oil found in Lagos is offshore just like that of Mobil in akwa ibom. The communities there are not senseless like the avengers and other criminals you take as heroes so just like the akwa ibom man doesn't blow up his pipelines, the Yoruba, who have always being sensible about idiotic violence, won't also blow their pipelines

The only annoying part is that your own brothers are spineless and can't bomb anything even though they wish to be relevant like the ijaw people. If only you can bomb ohaji egbema in Imo state to send buhari a message, I for dey happy for you. Instead na to dey pour spit of frustration and bitterness all over social media una sabi

Bros! There is nothing to bomb in Igboland. That 5% land is as empty, dry and barren as the kalahari desert.

MrGerald:
That's what you can say, you know the truth Nigeria can't do without the Igbos.

This is self delusion bro. That tiny 5% land that doesn't produce anything. And ya people scattered all over the place like refugees. Abegi!

Zico5:

Mumu, u are not yoruba mate and u want to die in their land. U are not yoruba mate and the whole of ur region is just an equivalent of oyo state. U are not yoruba mate yet non of yoruba could dwell or live in ur region for there is no basic things of life there. U are no yoruba mate yet yoruba sent ur godfather Gej packing. My brother u need deliverance o

The Eze of Onitcha must hear this. Igbo see ya life!!!

Mileage please?

Many men in Nigeria go to the grave after a life of poverty and want. Why? They over fu*k their wives and end up with too many children. I see many 30 / 40 something year old men with more than 4 children. They are already doomed.

Every penny they earn is immediately swallowed by bukata. All my tenants are in this position. My wife, through my own wisdom has only one child who lives life to the fullest. Going on holidays to Eur and USA regularly. I refuse to have another. Yeye people.

The same nonentity (NOI) who took us to the cleaners.

MalcoImX:
You mean the most unpatriotic minister in the history of Nigeria, who got a fool in GEJ and was demanding her salary be paid in dollars. Nigeria was destroyed during her time.

NOI is wholly responsible for the ongoing economic malady. That woman was nothing more than a useless administrator at the world bank and she and her Igbo brothers hijacked the unexposed Ijaw man's presidency. NOI duped Nigerians.

What a fat middle aged ugly ducking need our money for is beyond me. That woman is redponsible for our current state of affairs. Kemi is doing so much to rescue an hopeless situation. Foolish Nigerian people are failing to see the strong positive correlation between dollar reserves and the economic well being of the Nigerian people.

THIS MAN SHOULD BE DETHRONED AND BEHEADED IMMEDIATELY. DIDNT THEY DO THEIR HOMEWORK BEFORE THIS IDIOT WAS CORONATED?

Max24:
What is special in what the governor has done. Removing someone from office for 4.2b naira fraud and not prosecuting him. If it were 10k phone pickpockets at Oshodi they will be handcuffed, chained and their pictures in the papers for stealing. But if the thief steals billions he will be protected only for him to become a governor tomorrow. This was the same rumour we heard during fasholas time concerning Ambode only for him to emerge govornor now. We, the populace, need to insist on accountability, apprehension and application of the law whosoever is caught. There cannot be 2 sets of law in the land - one for the poor and one for the rich. Since the time of AC to APC till now i have not heard of any commissioner or Agency Director prosecuted for corruption in Lagos. Are they telling us they were saints ? Not even one ! Untill i see a high profile office holder jailed in lagos for fraud, i will continue to see Lagos governments as corrupt. The only people that have fought corruption in their own ways in Nigeria are Buhari(in the 80s), Obasanjo(Tafa Balogun, Afolabi etc) , NOI(for conceptualizing TSA which Buhari has now adopted as standard for his government). Let Lagos Government allow the law to take its course and enough of paddy-paddy government!!!

Mazi Okeychukwu thank you. Now face your state in the East.

lordkhalifa:
lol pained me as in how I'm just laughing at ur ignorance , omo stop pondering around like a monkey in a circus box, which kindness are u talking about charlie we are the one showing u kindness by buying up all ur hinterland lands developing it to mega cities... el rufai in one of his speech when he was minister of FCT said Igbo's should take up abj as their annex state ,because 80% of real estate in abj are own by them, we are doing u kindness by using our vast experience in commerce to sustain Nigeria GPD now oil prices shrink. no wonder formal governor of kano state said any state that ignore Igbo's does that at the risk of it economy... let's remove Biafra from Nigeria map let see what will become of u... lastly you said I'm broke lol it's only broke ass Niqqa can pinpoint broke as guy... well I'm not broke... I'm currently in my earliest 30s has a business of my own currently doing a finishing touch on my 6bed room bungalow, a car of my own ,living very comfortably... so I think I'm not doing bad @ my age... so what have u achieve in ur miserable old age

Your region is full of miserable hamlets and yet you are bragging about developing Yoruba cities to mega cities? Village people dey spin you hate filled Igbos. I swear!

thedarksider:
look..their was never a need in africa,to go mad with killing each other like the europeans...

we are a spiritual people...always was,still are,always will be...we rather slave you and release you after you paid for your crimes...

we will always be backwards compared to others...our leaders know its too late to catch up with the rest of the world....


butttttttttt!.......we are sitting on a fortune in africa....most desired raw-materials are here to build any whatever....

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!....whatever.....

This mentality baffles me a lot! The great powers of the world will eventually snuff life out of us for those resources. I can't understand why we stupid people think the great powers of the world with all their arsenal of weapons will come and BEG Africa for resources when they can can simply TAKE it like they did early in our recent history. Africa is a sitting duck men!

hinohsend:
I was about to mention the same thing, I belive a city like Abuja can also host such International conferences thereby injecting lots of income/forex into our economy . But first, we had better start making Nigeria look attractive in the eyes of the world.

And we can send the tourists to Igboland to see raw African villages and primitive people in action.

To fool an Igbo is very easy, just stroke their battered ego.

Who will come and visit all the nonsense I am seeing here. Ojukwu miscalculated massively and one of the Biafran soldiers should have been brave enough to shoot him in 1967.

Fake hair, fake life and fake existence.

opribo:
First thing first we need to strenghten and build a new mass re-orientation agency that will recreate the patriotic zeal and the unity of the country. Anybody who promotes hate in the country either through speech or writeup must be shot dead. Promotion of cross cultural exchange through marriage. Down playing of religion in our national polity but rather entrenchment of mutual respect. The president can only be stronger than a state governnor by the office they hold and not the resource generated from the state.

People from other places should be encouraged to settle anywhere peacefully. The rest are ok.

Yes, after you have developed Igbolabd first.

Then we can consider your points,anumanu.

THE IGBOS ARE NONENTITIES AND THIS EGO STROKING PIECE IS NOTHING SHORT OF BALD-AWASH.

WHY? UNTIL THIS MAJORITY TRIBE GO AND DEVELOP, LIVE AND THRIVE IN IGBOLAND ALL THESE ACCOLADES MEAN NOTHING. THE COMMERCIAL ACHIEVEMENTS ATTRIBUTED TO THE IGBOS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE ENABLING ENVIRONMENT PROVIDED (INTENTIONALLY OR NOT) BY THE YORUBA PEOPLE. THEY PROVIDED MARKET ACCESS, CUSTOMER BASE, LAND, ACCOMODATION AND ACCEPTANCE. WITHOUT THIS PATHWAYS TO WEALTH THE IGBOS WOULD NEVER HAVE RECOVERED AS QUICKLY AS THEY HAVE DONE AFTER THE CIVIL WAR. THE IGBOS DID NOT BRING THE MONEY AND THE WEALTH THEY ENJOY TODAY FROM IGBOLAND. THE WEALTH WERE ACCUMULATED PRIMARILY IN YORUBA LAND.

SO BEAT YOUR CHEST IF YOU MUST BUT RESPECT YOUR ELDERS.

bakynes:
First of all i do not beef the Igbos and yes i am Yoruba. I laugh at such articles and mindset.
Reno is just a big fool i repeat no African tribe is technologically advanced. The igbos are very hardworking, talented and smart that i agree on but to say they built Jet fighters and drilled and refined crude oil is just bullshit.

Only the whites and Asians do technology, why did it take Anglo-dutch company (Shell) to know Oil was buried beneath our soil, why didnt the igbos use their own technology to discover it. Or was the Hausa and Yoruba holding you down before the Civil war?

Igbos i do not hate you but stop allowing these fools like Reno Omokri to stroke your ego by lying to you.

3 gbosas! You hit the nail on the head. People wey no fit live for their own homeland?

AyoolaIgwe:
let me ask u, all this defense u put up for d FGN, has the Minister of Finance talked about it or the CBN Governor or even the Minister of Information as a way of telling Nigerians wot dey are doing? If any of dem has, den share with me d link for verification. Have u heard about political communication before(a part of the theory of Structural-Functionalism?

You are failing to understand that Nigeria is seriously STUCK!

Even God himself (let alone Jesus or Muhammed) cannot save you. Have you heard the saying "stuck between a rock and a hard place"? There is no policy that can change our current reality. That reality is we (170m people) produce nothing of value or worth and now we do not have enough international currency ($) to continue our mindless importation. The meagre output of our industries are not exportable. Oil has been fooling us for decade making us believe we are rich.

Once again no policy(ies) can change our current reality.
Buhari can only try, nobody can do it.

See them, they should forever be grateful to the accommodating Yorubas.

When will they shoot something in Enugwu?

GoodofNaija:
“Please remember we used to sell petroleum at $ 150 per barrel, but what is it today? It’s merely around $ 30 per barrel and the amount of crude oil they we used to produce over 2 million now it has gone down to about one million because of the problem we have been having when people have been blowing pipelines in the Niger Delta area. So we have problem and there isn’t enough money to be able to go round.

Wailers .......how far.....hope u read this part of the report ...or as usual you have jumped into conclusion

They are overly emotional the bloody 5 percenters...They should be asking GEJ and NOI to bring back our dollar...

CliffordOrji:
We Igbos re not ready to go back to Igboland. I am an Igbo man but I will rather die in Lagos than go back to Igboland

True Igboman! Realistic Igboman!

Nothing do you but ........... You no go find no man's land anywhere o!

Yimu!

Blessing ko Blessing ni, ask Indonesia.

Rossikki:
So these ignorant, stupid dunces we call leaders and traditional leaders, are still parading this recent colonial contraption as the "oldest storey building in Nigeria", in the face of overwhelming evidence of precolonial storeyed architecture in Nigeria. Shameless, worthless, self-loathing idiot.s so stu.pid they ignore their own achievements to heap all glory on the white man. They even have our lawyers donning English hair wigs to practice their profession. Shameless, disgusting, colonised buffoons with no sense of pride or dignity. Later on this brainless dunce who calls himself the Ooni of Life, went to America and declared the Roman invention called ''Jesus", to be his "father". Fuc.king useless, lost generation of colonised peabrains and reprobates. SPIT

Food for thought BUT this is absolutely NOT the way to address our Kabiyesi!

Our country and people are thoroughly SICK and are individually entraunced by the whites because of our ineptitude and failures.

OROSUNBOLB:
We need God's intervention now! Nigeria is just crumbling like cookies.

Abel leave God out of this......prayers and the Christian God don't fix economies.

We had surplus billions of dollars which like a prodigal child we spent without caution, living well beyond our legitimate means. Throwing away hard currency thinking we are balling........well let's sit back and enjoy our economic downturn. No prayers can fix this!

ibkgab001:
People living in diaspora pushed us to vote for Buhari ... it shall not be well with them everywhere they may be..

Oloshi guy, it is already well infact too well with us in diaspora and your curse is right back at you.

Where the hell were you lot when our survival dollar reserves were being depleted by NOI, GEJ and the saboteurs who call themselves importers?

Economic crisis don't just happen out of the blues, it builds up over years of ineptitude and in Nigerians case mindless looting. Looting your own country to buy unnecessary consumer items to impress each other......and now together you are all in Sh-it hole. We ran tu Buhari the same way we ran to the miracle pastors seeking solace from our own self inflicted injuries.

Ko baje fun e!

TheTrueSeeker:
Oby Ezekwesili For President...!!!!


With the way things are currently going in the country, if an election is conducted today between 'Madam Due Process' and PMB, She will defeat him with a very long margin. I can bet my cash on that...!!!

IPOB for president of Nigerian? Not likely.

AyoolaIgwe:
and I've simply asked dat U identify one economic policy of d present govt dat is intended to address d wrongs of d past?
As per GDP under GEJ, it was correct. Nd dat is because Economic Growth is not d same thing as Economic Development or GDP- per capita.
Pls mention one economic policy of dis govt dat is intended to address past mistakes.

Ok I will explain. The current policy of import restriction and profit repatriation is tough but vital to conserving our meagre foreign reserves (which means we are not going to IMF to borrow expensively) and forcing Nigerians to seek domestic alternatives and maybe reset our brain to production instead of consuming what others produce.

The increment of import duty to make imports more expensive whilst raising government revenue is another policy to help our country bear and survive the oil price collapse - our only source of dollar.

The government's money supply restriction (through CBN open market operations, banking cash ratio, the TSA etc) the government has saved the economy from hyper inflation and a more severe naira depreciation against major currencies.

The government of Nigeria unfortunately cannot adapt economic growth policies at this time because our industrial productive capacity is zero. We cannot have industrial production or export led growth because we just can't produce anything. Unfortunately should the government go for growth this will only encourage larger importation of consumer products and the eventual draining of reserves and the total collapse of naira and that will lead to outright starvation of our people. Nigerian people and the government are currently stuck and no policy can change the reality on ground. Except there is a miraculous increase in oil price which is very doubtful at the moment.

This government is doing the best it can at the moment.

Biafman:
Do Afonja children even spend money in the market? Igbos sell and Igbos buy, so how's that the problem of Alimi slaves?

Yet igboland remains the most deprived and depressed economic area in Nigeria. O'boy face facts.

AyoolaIgwe:
can u mention just ONE policy decision dat dis govt has taken to right d wrong of d past?

Many idiots are here talking about policy this policy that.

What freaking policy can an import dependent poor country with a weak currency put in place? Anybody who believed "the largest economy in Africa" nonsense sold to Nigerians by NOI must have their head examined.

Buhari and everybody in government must have realized the big sh-it hole GEJ and his cohorts have placed Nigeria. Buhari is afterall the president of a poor inconsequential country and the poor guy is doing all he can.

doctokwus:
To say he has let many pple down is an understatement.
He has greatly embarrassed many of us that saw him as the last hope for Nigeria.Some of us are now subjects of ridicule and scorn.
We can but just still hope he wud turnout good for everyone's sake.

I just cant understand you hapless Nigerians, exactly what do you want this man to do? Being the president of Nigeria does not mean you can print the dollar or control oil prices, or single handedly start producing the people's needs. We do not have enough dollar to support our fake lifestyle and zero production capacity economy. This sad reality is what we are now facing.

Even Jesus Christ has failed the unfortunate beings called Nigerians. Your domestic economic policies have very little impact on your import dependent import or buy-and-sell economy and there is nothing any Nigerian can do about it. If I am wrong please correct me with facts and I will concur.
