9lifes: The wedding should be postponed,this marriage is doomed already.

80% is too much for one person whether man or woman,especially in this modern era.

some women are saying culture....now woman no equal to man again?

juman: To have two international airports in SW is not too much.

ekt_bear: The distance from Ado-Ekiti to Akure would be like 30 minutes on a good road.

Rather than seeing about building an amazing road from Ado to Akure, the governor is investigating an airport

What is the use of all this education he obtained if he won't think rationally and intelligently?

Instead he is behaving quite senselessly.

SW Nigeria sef is about the size of New York State....it isn't a huge place and doesn't need imo more than the Ibadan, Lagos, and Akure airports...anything else is a waste

alj harem: the current Minister in Abuja is a Yoruba man. What are you talking about ??

alj harem: ^^^^^^^^^^

Really when I see likes of you and Proud Igbo talk it saddens me. I want to believe it is because you two spend too much time on Nairaland that is what is making you two paranoid.


Why on earth would another man steal another man's hard earn money or property is beyond me. I have told you that Yorubas and Hausawa are not like that. We do not not steal other people's property neither do we declare them as abandoned properties history has showed this over and over again.

Stop being paranoid. Lagos and Abuja is a state where Musa Emeka and Olu can relate with without feeling insecure.

Likes of Beaf have really brain wash una. I wonder how Lagos would produce an Igbo governor when you do not see yourselves as Lagosian FIRST.

Lagos is a testament to what Yorubas Hausa and Igbos can do if they unite. Globacom, Onado, Dangote, Innoson are companies showing the way employing our youths in various countries. Lets start thinking forward.

Please Ak47mann I know you are a good person and I know I have not been the best character here on NL but please think positive and don't let likes of Beaf and Onlytruth corrupt you to think anyones property or sweat would be taken.

It is a known fact (ask those saying in Oyingbo lagos) that if Ola steals as little as 5 naira from Uche or Adamu, he would likely be mobbed alive by Lagosians.

If you do not believe me, ask your family members in Lagos. Please don't be deceived my Nairaland fantasies lies and propaganda

PROUD-IGBO:
@CyberG:

You know i've noticed you like making this statement of "everybody moving back to his/her place", and if i didn't know better i'd think you were the resident nairaland clown.

I know it's Lagos you have in mind when you take this position of yours, and all i can say is stop dreaming mate.

*Are you talking of Lagos that has been kept -by all sorts of underhand shenanigans- as the only centre of commerce and industry in Nigeria with all the attendant advantages over cities from other regions/states?

*Are you talking of Lagos that was the former capital of Nigeria, and hence has seen a sizeable chunk of OUR COMMONWEALTH used in developing it over the decades?

*Are you talking of Lagos that has the only major Int'l Airport/Sea Port built by the Federal Gov't in Southern Nigeria (and for a long time was the only major Int'l gateway for the whole country), and by default has had an unfair advantage compared with other cities in attracting investments, tourists, etc?

*Are you talking of Lagos that people from all over Nigeria have been forced to reside in and do business b'cos of the above mentioned points?

*And finally are you talking of Lagos that is the former capital of Nigeria- a Nigeria that your forebears fought Ndigbo in particular and the old Eastern Region in general to be a part of when they wanted out?

If you think for a second that Nigeria dividing would lead to lazy bastards like you coverting and keeping all the investments and sweat of non Yorubas in Lagos, then you've got another think coming.

You justify the boko madness and reason that we brought it on our heads for choosing to side with Jonathan (as against your saint Buhari) in the last elections. We owe no-fuc/king-body any apology for who we choose to vote for- that's the beauty of 'democracy' and 'one Nigeria' so get over it mate. If you try to justify -under any guise- the slaughter of innocents by these bastards, then you're no better than them.

If Nigeria divides, Lagos and it's peculiar nature will be discussed. Now if for instance you got possesive with cities like Ibadan and Abeokuta, i'll understand, but not Lagos.

ak47mann: The thing is that people still have that old mentality beacuse of abandon properties during the dark days,but to be honest with u days of looting and destroying are over, both civilized and uncivilized. Maybe we should deal with the lack of morals, ethics and principles these are the fundamental reasons why African union are fighting to maintain Democracy in the continent.It will help people to beware of their civil rights, you cant act like an hungry animal anymore,if you have investment in Lagos or Abuja which we know peaceful brake up of nigeria will make Lagos and Abuja less attracted,investors will start dealing with governments that have things to offer,any govermement incharge of Lagos& Abuja will not want their investment to go down so they will protect both foreigners and indigenous lives and properties same as any one of us that own properties in US or UK or other developed countries will never panic because ur investment will be protected.

Same goes to anywhere in Nigeria if you loot! your police will either take you and ur gangs down or get arrested,as u can see doing subsidy.The only thing that will happen first is that rent will go down in Lagos and Abuja and other cities,because of massive movements of residence other cities that generate more money than Lagos and Abuja will suck up businesses and investment

Jarus: Nice one. Water transport is long overdue in Lagos to decongest the roads. I don't have confidence in the currently operating local ones yet, although a couple of my colleagues use it to Ikorodu from VI. They are also well patronized in Ajah here, but hey, I no sabi swim, I still prefer the roads with the traffic and time-wasting now. Maybe this can inspire my confidence.
