we are not unity beggar when the time come we will give you your independence. for now we need both your labour and tax to put critical infraastructure in place.
USA used chinese cheap labour to build her railway system.
UK used its colonial manpower to fight wars and use it resources to build UK.
mind you we have strategically put african banking in SW biggest banks in africa are headquarted in SW with branch in other countries. when you depart tax will still be remitted and you will foreverly psychologically tied to our region.
iamexcelblog: Then they must be stupid. If the Igbos want to go, then let them be. If the Yorubas want to stay, then they should remain in Nigeria. My own is that I love freedom more than anything on earth. I careless if Nigeria remains or not.
But I have been thinking about something. If the Igbos are "Worthless, Criminals, Drug Pushers" like most Yoruba portray us, why then are they always afraid of the Igbos leaving?" Because am a business man and in my line of business, I cut off weak links.
That means something is not adding up. You can't hate an armed robber and still want to share an apartment with the armed robber!
we can't afford to let you leave you supply cheap labour to our factories. and your large population afford our product to sell at no tariff in the SE the TAX is what we need to develop our region.
we are only using the colonial master formular. the more you look the less you see.
Pojomojo: Letter to the Ghetto Kid: As a man that I am today who developed from being one of you guys, who went through the same struggles you are presently going through, who had to run and jump hurdles where other kids just walk past the same situation in a better environment with better resources and much provisions, I know the society do not expect you to make it, the government don’t care about your future, they toy and joke around making rules and laws that only affect you and benefit the rich. You lack everything it requires to become who you might have loved to be, do the things you would have loved to do or to live the life you may have seen on TV or the internet, which I know you even have limited access to because there’s never power supply for such, which means you are deprived most of the things that can be learnt through TV and internet in the first place which makes your dreams smaller, quicker to fade away but I want you to know that darkness you are, without the dark, the stars won’t shine and so you can shine out if that darkness. You have been deprived so many right a child deserves and the world look down on you because you are nothing but a clot of blood miraculously turned a baby, and an unfortunate one at that. Good health, good foods or good education hasn’t been in any way your chance to have. Looking at you disgusts not your brethren only but even strangers are not so impressed for your unhealthy appearance. Your strength; courage; and dreams are nothing but hallucination just because you were not supposed to dream big. I am sure nobody ever believed in whatever you say or do. You have been victimized by neighbours; friends; and even family members who were supposed to give you hope. This is my story, this is me and this is the hushpuppi you have been hearing about. The Ghetto kid in me is at Its peak and ready to explode and spread around the globe. I am you and you are me. I represent every under privileged kid of the world and especially of Nigeria and of Lagos and of Bariga and of Oworonsoki — Where a landlord had chased me and my family out of a rented room. I’ll never forget the look on my mother’s face trying to send me and my and my siblings to neighbours and relatives and the sadness in the eyes of my siblings. Now, you see I represent you? Trust me I know how it feels to not have parents come watch you in school play football or run races in ur school, I know how it feels to come out your apartment to take showers in a zinc sheet bathroom separated from the building. The society made me who I am today, I was never one of those who their parents couldn’t afford a movie ticket to see a movie when Silverbird cinema came newly, I shared shoes, toiletries and underwears with my younger ones as well as mats and see me now at my early thirties, I am writing you a letter from one of the favourite places any human alive would have loved to be, billionaire or penniless. Nobody is listening to your cries; your lamentation; and your grievances are not felt a bit. If I had sat down complaining about the bad government; bad economy; bad friends, I will not be here today. I had a dream I was not supposed to cry, knowing nobody would listen, so I rose from the hood and decided to do the things my forefathers never did. I crossed the seas, walked through burning bushes, jumped over thorns and barbed wire. A lot of people know me from when I used to use okada to be selling ‘akube’ clothes to boys that was making cheddars in diff hotels up and down the mainland of Lagos. Look at yourself, do you like the way you are right now? Are you pushing beyond limits? Are you succumbing to the tune of the selfish ‘Baba Alaye’ in your neighbourhood? Nobody will help you if you decide not to help yourself even hailing Hushpuppi 1,000 wouldn’t help you either, be about you, get up, pick a struggle, leave your comfort zone, work hard at it, pray a lot and don’t kiss ass, rich people are users and inconsiderate. Dear hustling hood kid,
Teespice: not just rivers state but the entire Niger delta region.
bayelsa state is just as bad if not worse.
i met some guys during my service year who are from p/harcout they cant make a sing comment about the economy with talkin OUR OIL OUR LAND they even called one fee DEVE GOD knows what that means.
For those of you that are here shouting up and down that their clothing is so simple and bla bla bla..
if you are wise you will know the only reason they dress like this is because they have no need to dress for anybody or anything as they are already made.
If you are not yet a millionaire in DOLLARS for your own interest don't dare dress like this because no one will be interested in you. Dressing is what announces a man or woman, A well dressed person will easily be attended to than someone who just throws in colours, if you are still hustling look good and dress well to make things easier for you. if you like refuse this piece of writing and say you wanna do follow follow.
not even the look of a man, nor his wrist watch nor his car attract woman.
success is what attract. nothing much nothing less.
nextprince: The simplicity in this Dangote is what I cherish most in him.
Some creatures with brains compressed in some flattened craniums without a hundredth of this man's wealth will feel on top of the world calling every other person a poor man. Infact, some will denounce their roots for fear of being killed by their own relations.
bethyz: It's because you havnt fallen in love. When you find that one person that complete you you will be over whelmed. Anyway am trying married in three weeks . The anxiety kill and fiance getting me upset . Can wait for it to end
5DMindset: My brother no vex, you can always correct me if I am wrong. Going by statistics of land ownership in Lagos as at today, Yorubas own the lowest plots of Land, Igbos and other tribes own the rest, so you can always educate me if I am wrong, I am humble enough already, so Sir, if other tribes own more landmass in Lagos, how is such place a Yoruba land. I actually thought its a cosmopolitan City where people all over the world own assets here, so what is this nonsense about Lagos being Yorubaland. I am not here for tribalism. So do not let it sound as if I am being tribal, I am just responding to your vexation.
I will rather we term Lagos as no man's land, so we all can continue to build this wonderful place.
Thanks for your understanding of this truth.
it seems you are uneducated with landownership. the receipt we issued to you shows it is a lease not outright ownership.
you ibos are loud mouthed you don't even own 1/10th land in lagos. we made a big mistake permitting you guys.
HAusas have better investment that worth the entire worth of all 5 SE state they don't make noise.
once you declare you Biafra. just be rest assured we will round you up and send you back to your state. or your asset goes up in flame.
Go to all the obas in lagos and tell them that our land is no man's land
5DMindset: He is not going to Yoruba land, he says he wants to go to Lagos, not Yoruba land. Stop this tribalism.
so in you warped akpu logic lagos is not yoruba or are you telling me an indigene of epe is not yoruba. don't worry when we split. i will make sure we fish you guys house-to-house and send you back home. your IP address is even showing lekki area. take it from a royal blood.
the Irony is that those that were fortunate to gradute from schoolin Nigeria are also the highest number of unemployed people in the world. so why worry.
kingsley666: Nigeria is living under past glories.come and see ordinary secondary schools in ghana. I now understand why they top waec exams every year
not only Nigeria, American Infrasructure is on the decline chana infrastructure is better than American own
