ashson: ISLAM is my religion. i have found islam to be the real and only religion that comes from God. come to think of it, islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. million of people in america and europe were not born muslims, due to research and quest for the truth, they end up converting to muslims, with the fact that islam is being painted as the religion of conflicts and killings which is all setup just to discourage people to do more research about islam thereby ending up as muslims. ISLAM is simply a way of life, everything about how to live this life had been planned for you since before you were born.

People changing to Islam are getting worse- Michael Jacson-died miserably, Janet Jacson-career loss, Mike Tyson-career loss, Tupac Shakur-died mysterously,etc. I dont want any of the above. I was born a muslim but received the message of light of the Son Of God- Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life, if any man comes to me, though he dies, he shall live again. What an assurance from the master. Besides Jesus is not a religion but the way of salvation-any muslim who believes in his sonship, death and resurection shall go to paradise-like the thief at his right hand side on the cross.

Sky Blue: You are not doing ANYTHING new with this. There have been threads where someone tried to raise issue with regards to roads or something of the sort in a South western state, and before long, people were posting pictures of Aba and other places in the south east, as if that had anything to do with it. This back and forth bickering is sickening and hinders us from targetting leaders, no wonder they get away with murder. I mean, is this all Nigeria has to offer, online Igbo Yoruba fights?? No hour is complete on this forum without some thread degenerating into on of these petty and ridiculously childish skirmishes. And what is most disappointing, is that the most vocal of the bunch actually live abroad (some have never even been to Nigeria). I really can't understand it, it really is confounding. Some people will call it "tribalism" to make themselves feel better since in their own head it is not as bad as racism.

You are not even good at raising propaganda. You showed a picture from Ilorin-manger, Akure-playground, Oshogbo-children playing, maybe 2 from Ibadan-gutter. How do you compare that with Metro part in ABA? Do u expect gutter to be made with gold ( no excuse for dirtiness), or a manger to be made with marble? The last time I checked, Ilroing, Oshogbo, Akure,etc are few of the cleaniest places u can visit,ask those who have been there. Abia is an oil producing states, why are the roads so dilapidated. Osun and Kwara dont have oil and are very beautiful and clean.

WHY SHOULD NIGERIA FEED BIAFRA

I NEED AN ANSWER.

There is no smoke without fire.

What happened?

richarts: Okay cool. Lets use your description. An unemployed graduate lives in Ikeja and has an opportunity to work at VI, what kinda salary should he not decline for a start?

People can also share their ideas and experiences.

It is always difficult to give a loaded question and expect a blancket answer. Questions are always relative and answers too are relative.

What Mr A will call a bad salary; Mr B may accept. I have seen people who were ready to work without salary just to garner the relevant years of experience for better opportunity.

However, if we want to pick an average salary, I think N60,000 for a start is not too bad. With that you can:
1. Pay your T. fare=N15,000 a month (highest)
2. Pay your tithe=N6000
3. Feed yourself=N18,000 @N600 per day
4. Cloth yourself=N5000 @ N2,500 per shirt (avg)
5. Save remaining N16,000 for future use eg writing of professional exams, etc.

May God help us.

Evidence of bad leadership.

chunk of graduates without jobs. Artisans wihout businesses.

God help us.

KingMEXX: It's funny the way the Yorubas prefer Boko Haram to Igbos ..hehe a day would come when BH would gather the courage and head down straight to Lagos to bomb. I laugh. Yorubas deep inside knw dey prefer Igbos to Oda tribes, dey jus hate Igbos cos they feel Igbos are too proud and are beta dan dem. Ogwucha! If yu yorubas like, keep kissin d arses of Hausas. One day, o ga eme gi voom n'anya

Can u be better? How? Education; you are behind us, business; we have more successful people than you, professionalism; we are the best-from Law to medicine, to Accounting to enginering, etc. well u are better in kidnapping, armed robbery, 419,rituial killing, and road side businesses.

Otondo. You can never beat the reach. Na so u go dey follow us from Ondo to London.

Mr. Globe:
you are an idiiiottt. making demands from Nigeria really? from their own resources, what does your parasitic yaroba tribe contribute to the FG other than loud mouthing.

It is apparent you dont know anything? So from your statement, what does your tribe-Igbo contribute?

If there is a tribe that makes Nigeria attractive to the foreign countries, it is Yoruba. You have oil, we have oil. We have gold, you dont have gold, we have brain, you dont have brain. We tourist attraction, you dont have have. You have kidnappers; we dont have.

Bush Jr (formaer president of America) came to Nigeria, he did not even know there is anything called Igbo, Arnold Schwarzenegger, all the foreign musicians, Bill Clinton, Kofi Anna, Venus and Williams,all the people that matter in the World, they are not even aware of Onitsha or Ebonyi, so how important are you to Nigeria.

Forgotten generation.

Mr. Globe:
Am not keeping up with any trutg vigil. She was arrested with 500 milli, thats what I know and believe, the truth vigil is for those that are slow to understand. Their deniala have been weak. After some people told us she was in Ibadan with her husband during the NURTW amala fracas in ibadan during sallah, she has now admitted she is in london. ACN is more corrupt than PDP. believe what you want let me believe mine. on truth I stand

Dont u know how to use your brain at all? Didnt your lecturers teach you anything about logic at all? When was Sallah? Friday. When did she travel? Sunday. So was she not with her husband on Friday from that? You are worse than the PM journalists that initiated the news. If possible u should be sued too.

Useless bigot. I am sure u are a PDP person or....

Youngzedd: Am speechless, the way they spend cash still yet there are the poorest and undeveloped.
Thank God for the Igbos in kano that made kano what it is today.

Those leaders need a sound education. What a mess.

You Igbo people ,it seems your problem is arrogance and lack of wisdom to talk. How can you say you Igbo people made Kano what it is today? Which Eastern State has the good road networks they have in Kano? which Igbo person has the wealth of Dangote, all the Dantata, etc.
Is it your second hand clothes and spare parts that you sell that made them?

If you are good as you always want us to believe then Eastern Nigeria should be our Mecca by now, where everybody wants to be and not the unsolicited exodus to Lagos, even when they have sent you away indirectly.
You can never meet the West and might need to struggle before you pass the North.

ndu_chucks: How can Fashola or anyone who hopes to rule Nigeria have any problem whatsoever with amending our constitution or even rewriting it? Is it not senseless to call for social engineering which could take generations for its effect to be actualized, instead of amending the constitution or rewriting it?

I am beginning to feel that Fashola may not have what it takes to move Nigeria forward. His talents are probably limited to managing entities such as cities and small states.

Obi is on point here and even the old coot Edwin Clark, is making more sense than Fashola.

You have just dsiplayed your hatred for Mr Fashola and not a response to what he said. He did not say we should not have another constitution or did he say so? He said we need to change our ways first.
Pls think twice before responding.

atuboweke: AND STILL THE OFE MMANU PEOPLE ARE BUSY BEEFING THE IGBOS INSTEAD OF FACING THE NOTHERNER WHOM FOR AGES HAS BECOME THEIR A BOIL IN THEIR ASS.

We dont have any issue with you Igbo people, it is your poor level of wit and understanding that is killing you. There is a saying that goes thus (a child is unwise and you dont want him to die, what else will kill him if not is ignorance).

From 1966, you have been wasting your generation by taking wrong steps first by the first coup, later by doing inciting things to the northerners, now by dishonouring the Sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo (GCFR,SAN).
If Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Ekiti, Osun, Kwara, Kogi yorubas now start a guerilla war against you, you will open your mouth in years to come that they are jealous, they dont like you, they marginalize you.

THEY HAVE TO TEACH YOUR ETHNIC GROUP ONE COURSE-PHILOSOPY, AND A TOPIC-LOGIC. THERE IS CAUSE-EFFECT ANALYSIS. Get it into you head.

gerald28: During the election, the same Yorubas that northerners have bleeped so much will line up to vote them into power to keep fucking them. Is it not the same Abubakar that won the Bid for power plant in Lagos??

I think you should be wiser by now. If there is a tribe that has never given a damn about the North and the federal government, who believes in itself and its own ethnic leadership, it is Yoruba. In this current republic, there is no PDP governor in the South West, in 1999 there was none,in the Sixties it used to be AG, so dont just open your mouth to talk, always think twice before you mention Yoruba because we are not like you that can sell your siblings because of money.

obadiah777: NO

Thank you. He must first believe there is a God who created the heaven and the earth including him or her. Believing in God is not about any religion. It is just like the Igbos fighting Nigeria, killing one another with gun and at the same time accusing same Nigeria of not giving them food.

You must pick one, either you are for me or against me, no two ways to it.

torkaka: i think ABU has produced the most recognised alumni member. recall during obj's tenure there was a time ABU produced about 12 members at the FEC meeting as ministers

You are correct, almost all the Northern govs both present and previous attended ABU.

Incontrovertible truth.

However, it doesnt make it the best. I think any of these three uni is the best Obafemi Awolowo University (formaerly University of Ife, University of Ibadan or UNILAG should be the best because they have been consitent in the university rating since inception.

omoeso: Yes, some of you are damn right. Fashola should provide employment for over 200 thousand okada riders presently plying our roads, then next year when another 200k arrives from east and abokiland, den he should surely provide another set of jobs for them too. Then in 2014 when another 300k enter lagos as a governor dat has a company dat manufacture jobs, jobs should be provided for those ones too. Didirin. Ppl, how many jobs has the president of the country been able to create since d last 2yrs? And there u are expecting a governor to manufacture jobs for millions trooping down in their millions daily! E ma pe nbe!

Thank you my brother. Some people just observe things from one argue, a practical evidence of their level of reasoning. If we really want to have a good country, State and local govt, some drastic steps must be taken. Must everybody live in Lagos? People living in other States too will be complaing about Lagos governance,PDP people known for poor idea, intruders from North and East will be complaining about street hawking, road side selling and and okada riding.
How many of the people are Lagosians? Must Fashola/Lagos bear the burden of Nigeria poor governance? Must irresponsibility and lack of vision of the president and other state and tribe leaders be born by current Lagos exco?
Fashola is doing his best, the only Nigeria gov I respect sincerely. Besides okada is not banned in Lagos but restricted. Dont cross bridge; dont ply express; close before 10 o'clock-simple.

Abali1: Please this should be taken to the front page. NL Mod, take note.

I was actually praying and wishing that people like this man(Soyinka) should come out and speak up.
I'm one of those that believe that using hunger as a strategy for winning wars is a crime against Humanity. No matter how much we argue this "Policy", the fact remains that Nigeria committed Genocide against the Biafrans (Igbos in particular).

PLS TRY TO DISPLAY OBJECTIVITYIN ALL YOUR ARGUMENTS, IT IS A SYMBOL OF HIGH LEVEL OF INTELLECTUALISM. WHO COMMITTED GENOCIDE, OJUKWU, BIAFRA OR NIGERIA. IF U DECIDE TO FIGHT WITH ME, HOW CAN U, AT THE SAME TIME EXPECT ME TO FEED U. FROM MY OWN LITTLE KNOWLEDGE OF LOGIC, IT IS NOT RATIONAL. SO, LOGICALLY SPEAKING, OJUKWU KILLED HIS IGBO KINSMEN.

IF THERE WAS NO WAR, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO STARVATION, PAIN, HUNGER, DEATH, ETC. WOULD U EXPECT YOUR ENEMY TO BE FEEDING U? IF U WOULD THEN LET US STOP OUR FIGHT, BUT OJUKWU WOULD RATHER RUN AWAY IN A WOMAN ATTIRE TO IVORY COAST LEAVING THE SO CALLED DYING CHILDREN AND HIS BRETHREN ON THE BATTLE FIELD. AND THIS ACHEBE, A MINISTER I=UNDER OJUKWU RAN TO AMERICA AND NOW WRITING BALDADASH FROM THERE CAUSING PROBLEM FOR HIS BRETHREN IN SW. IF WE DECIDE TO REPEAT.... HE WOULD NOW SAY YORUBA PEOPLE DO THIS OR THAT, HE WOUILD HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT @IT IS ONLY A BASTARD THAT USES LEFT HAND TO POINT TO HIS FATHER'S HOUSE'

CyberG: LWKMD! Choi...even those fellas at the UN know that this guy is a joke, most reasonable Nigerians would rather read his crap from reporters next day than waste their time listening to his BS. Choi...Obasanjo try for this area 'cos everyone (or most people) would listen to that man. Yes, he did not achieve as much as he should but when he has to address people, people will tune in. He knew how to project his authority, brought respect to the position of president and a much more efficient communicator than the dumb.ass Ph. D Daftluck..lol

I was watching Dokubo recently on the TV shouting at a reporting and OBJ crossed my mind, who was Dokubo when Obasanjo was in power, he was remanded for being a threat to the peace and tranquility of Nigeria but today he is everywhere shouting.

No intelligent person can respect uncle Jonathan I would rather listen to Fashola or Fayemi (who Obama said should have been the president of Nigeria) laughing stock.

lacasa: The 3 names ave something in Common

My question is why Lagos?

How many times have u heard of Femi,Kunle, Ade, etc robbing over there

If I talk now they will say----

But remember they killed, destroyed and stole.

Lagos robberies: Three suspects in police net

September 26, 2012 by Comfort Oseghale and Eniola Akinkuotu 142 Comments




Three armed robbery suspects[b]-Uche Okeagbu, Emmanuel Ezeani and Chinonso Nwuangwu[/b]-have been arrested by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Lagos, in connection with the September 9, 2012 robberies in the state, which left three policemen and a civilian dead.

The suspects were arrested at their Ajangbadi hideout on September 23 following a tip-off.

The suspects were said to members of a much larger group, which had about three weeks ago, carried out simultaneous robberies in Gbagada, Agege, Anthony, Ojodu, Itire, Ikeja and Ilasamaja areas of the state.

It was learnt that after 23-year-old Okeagbu was arrested, his confession led to the recovery of a large cache of ammunition, one rocket propel grenade launcher, 225 AK 47 magazines fully-loaded, over 10,000 rounds of AK 47 live ammunition, two general purpose machine guns, 260 rounds of GPMG live ammunition, five dynamite with detonator and nine AK 47 rifles.

A self employed oil dealer before his foray into armed robbery, Okeagbu told PUNCH METRO that he was once based in Port Harcourt.

He said, “I was an oil dealer in Port Harcourt before a friend introduced me to this gang. I have been with them for a while and during the time, I went with them for four operations in Ibadan where I got N500,000 as my share. Another was in Uyo where I got N800, 000. I also got N800, 000 for the First Bank robbery at Share, Kwara State and N100,000 for the Lagos robbery. All these took place this year.

“In all these operations, the targets were banks which we robbed successfully. I never went with the group into the banks. I always stayed back with the driver in the car because I was scared but I didn’t go with the gang when they raided Lagos three weeks ago.”

A SARS team led by, Mr. Abba Kyari, found the gang’s armoury in two Volkswagen buses with registration numbers LSD 467 AR and AGL 506 XB, parked at Okeagbu’s residence at Ajangbadi.

Also, Nwuangwu said he took part in four robbery operations at Diamond Bank, Akure, in Ondo State, UBA, Osogbo in Osun State, GTB Okene, in Kogi State and Skyebank, Auchi, in Edo State.

The 23year-old said, “I was merely the driver of the vehicles. I just drove them to whereever they had an operation. I used to be an oil dealer in Port Harcourt before I joined the gang but I have stopped going with them for operations for a while now.”

The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Umar Manko, said the suspects were members of the gang that terrorised Lagos about three weeks ago.

Manko said, “After the Lagos operation, the group proceeded to Ilorin where they robbed a bank and attacked a police station. We are still on the trail of the remaining members of the gang.

“Apart from the arms and ammunition recovered, we also seized a Toyota Camry belonging to the gang. The car was fitted with sensors and camera. That way, the robbers could monitor whatever was going on behind them.

“I would also like to say that since the September 9 robbery operations that the command has not recorded any other robbery incident. There have been robbery attempts in several parts of the state but these have been quelled by the police.

“I encourage the public to continue to come forward with useful information of any suspicious activity around them because that was how we got information on these suspects.”

safarigirl: What a load of cr.ap! Lagos has NO indigenes, it's no man's land. How can they go about deporting Nigerians when Togolese still boku for there? This is like saying New York deports citizens of Arizona. Stewpid Africans.

This is one of the infurating and annoying statements, very inciting that are causing problems. How can u say Lagos is no man's land? How can u say it is has no indigene? The Epe people, Ikorodu people, Ibeju Lekki, Isale Eko, Badagary people, Agarawu,Isolo,etc jumped from heaven? The hospitality of the West should not be taken for foolishness pls.

Nonsense.
