lmao!

Ok here is a project I really love in the same Lagos:


You have the CORE actionable information you need.

I am not advocating sitting on the fence.

I'm saying:

A) We don't give a crap about either of these other 2 or 3 sides. Don't intervene to help any of them, since none of them concern you.
B) However, still be ready to defend yourself and your interests as necessary.

I think you guys are advocating (B) (which I agree with), but also want to intervene to help one of the actors (which I don't agree with.)

If you are advocating picking a side, you sure as hell better come up with some good arguments in favor of this.

And not fluffy bulls1t like "The South", etc, etc.

ShangoThor:
Absolutely hilarious, I will say this only once because in my opinion I think "SOME" Yoruba are delusional and suffer from a FATAL CONCEIT.

The position of abstaining, sitting on the fence, or 'ronu-ing' as I fondly put it (LOL) is not going to all of a sudden enable the Yoruba to:

(a) Mobilise a well organised homogenous Militia Unit out of the rabble we currently have, e.g. OPC - a front for Agbero's and area boys, this takes time and planning. It is not something that can be done overnight because we wake up overnight to find our women are being brutally gang violated, and our children are being slaughtered, and our homes are being bombed or burnt out. Especially a militia Unit that cannot be compromised by individal comprising members by bribery. My point being this kind of command structure requires planing and awareness.

(b) Or generate large cash storage of modern weaponry needed to defend ourselves. I suppose some believe we can do this overnight, this makes me laugh so much because it is strategically elementary, especially considering that other factions and regions are already armed or arming themselves.

ekt_bear:
@PointB: This is (mostly) a political struggle between some elements in the core north and those in the PDP. It is a political struggle, not an ethnic or religious one, to me. I don't care about either of these two factions struggling.

@jason123: There is no "South." When was there one?

I have no clue why I'm supposed to be supporting some middle belt group fighting a core north group, with the middle belt group's objective that political power should rotate to the east after GEJ.

Why do I care about any of that? How does that benefit me? Of what relevance are their goals to mine?

igbo2011:
This is really good. But somebody neds to start a company that manufacturers trains in Nigeria.  We need to get our engineers the experience then maybe they can start building planes as well.

I don't think I want Oby Ezekwesili or Ngozi Okonjo as a preisent of Nigeria.  They worked for the World Bank and I think that the World Bank will use them as puppets for American interests.  If they will fight against imperialism then theywould be great presidents.  But if Fashola isn't president then he should be a governor of a different state.  Maybe he can switch with Ameachi (hopefully tribalism won't affect anything.)

daguru:
Another reason for we lagosians to pay our taxes promptly The Lekki-Ikoyi suspended bridge (1st suspended bridge in West Africa) is 75% complete and would contribute to easing traffic on the island

Gbenge 77:
already campaigning for him?

South-East:
100s of Second hand light rail trains for Lagos. I dey laff ohhh

airlord:
Brilliant mmove but errrr y "tokunbohs"? surely Lagos state can afford new Light rails not to talk of the safety implications and life span, commendable but could have been beta,

gogodaye:
The last official comment on the Abuja rail was a laughable cryout by the 'Senating' Minister of FCT crying out that the project has not been funded as a result of it not being captured in the budgetary apprpriations for like 2 years now and that he was going to see and plead with his brother minister in charge of Finance and some other bureaucrats to make provisions for the project.
The Chinese contracting firm have equally expressed their disquiet at the attitude of the Nigerian government towards the successful execution of the project. The government was yet to acquire and pay compensation to persons whose properties lay within the right of way so as to enable them enter into such poperties. Work on the project for now is STALLED. I have my doubts if its still a priority since no one apportions monetary costs to the wasted manhours in traffic gridlocks and its health and social implications.  I just either BRF or Amaechi get theirs going so that this lazy Abuja people would be forced to wake up to their responsibilities.

Whitehorse:
Also,

As far as i'm concerned, the only governors that i know are doing well (at least by nigerian standard) is Fashola - Lagos, Amaechi- Rivers, and Sullivan-Enugu, [/b]my home state (yes, i know about the libido issue)

Whitehorse:
I'm very comfortable with the refurbished trains. Have any of you guys been on the London Underground? The trains i c the pictures looker cleaner and better than the current London underground.

[b]I think Fashola should start making contacts across the east and middle belt and North for 2015. It will be very sad if the guy just goes into oblivion after 2015.

P:S Before the ethnic bashing start, please save it, I'm not pro east, west, north or south, i'm pro development!

igbo2011:
When will Eko Rail be ready by? Also are they thinking about doing a subway system in Lagos?

tpia@:
i hope you know why the midwest was separated from the western region.

PhysicsQED:
This is not true. This discussion is about one specific place, anyway. Not the entire geographical southwest.

ndu_chucks:
Pray tell, where did these Edoids and Yoruboids migrate from? The middle east, or did their predecessor fall from heaven?

jason123:
I repeat![Let me play the devil's advocate
In the WEST, if you are not Edo/Edoid or Yoruba/Yoruboid (even these two are family). YOU ARE A "SETTLER"!!!

Onlytruth:
LOL @ jason, you are scared to death about living in a country without the Igbos.
That is why you are going gra gra about oil and sea access you don't currently (and will NEVER) control.
Abeg talk true bro.

I know you are a die hard believer in Southern Nigeria. Why not say so, than try to play tough with what you've already given away.

I know you don't want Nigeria to continue. So stop lying with your gra gra.

The truth is that I am one Igbo man that is very difficult to predict.
I am a pragmatist beyond belief.
I know that some of you Yorubas (yes you are Yoruba) are scared to death about Nigeria dividing; but you don't have to be if you get your share of "the national cake". That oil will keep flowing for everybody in the interest of peace.  

In any case, I suspect that Aboki is the main person to make the proposals to.
He only needs oil and access to the sea, and he will get both if I have my say.  

Relax101:
Wetin concern Warri with Odua Rep? Stop am.

I'm telling you an inevitable truth.
You think aboki would walk away like that? You gotta be kiddin'.

It is the only deal they would accept.
