I am so disappointed with u.
So u are comparing my homeland Nigeria with a foreign country south Africa.

Listen to me you yoruba's, I am a Nigerian and Lagos which I reside is in Nigeria and not South Africa.
I have every freedom to live, associate and vote for whom I choose. It is my constitutional right which I will not sell out to you.
Where as, I am not intimidated by your hate. I value every of it because in my it shows u are afraid and jealous that we are waxing stronger every time.
In this land, things are not even rosy. I work very hand for my money. I pay my tax as a Nigerian. Before I got to where I am today, I suffered in the hands of all yoruba's I met with the exception of a very few yoruba's that believed in me.
But still, I made it not because the hatred the yoruba's have for me as an Igbo man but because the Yoruba's are not my God and they have no hand in my destiny.
God bless my Yoruba friends Ladi, Olu, idowu, Mike and kunle who encouraged me so much and won't be forgotten by me. You guys are so different from the vampires I've seen in Nairaland always looking for the blood of an Igbo man to drink.
For the rest of u hating on me, be prepared to watch me wax stronger. Your hate drives and inspires me.
If you keep calling me an immigrant in my country, do us a favor. We still want biafra. Pls help us campaign for it so we will leave ur land peacefully.

Thanks.

you are right, we are jealous of you growing big and claiming Lord over our land-you are taking over our land- so this is why you need to be checked. And thank God we've put u in ur places

wil coment later

hmmmm

If Ubah campaigned for his party candidate, I see nothing wrong in that. Isn't that what every poiltician did? Evn the esteemed Oba had every right to campaign for his preferred candidate and he sure did.

The part I don't agree with Agbaje is him elevating their status to that of Oba of Lagos. But again, is this true? Did he really say such? I saw videos of that of the Oba's gaffe but none is provided for Agbaje's.

But if really Agbaje said that, how is that the fault of the Igbos? Why didn't the Oba curse Agbaje for those abominable words. Why curse death on a whole GENERATION of innocent people who didn't even know if any meeting was held at all.

Are you getting my point bro. That was what caused all this. The people that attended the meeting were not up to 0.00000001 percent of igbos. They were still gonna vote either Ambode or Agbaje. So why should such a revered Oba start wishing all of them death?

I still stand by my earlier convictions! *continues sipping lipton*

I am not sure how I can make u see reason now. But let me try for the last time-Agbaje contested along Fashola in 2007,did campaign of ethnicity start then? Did. Agbaje or anybody used tribe or religion to campaign? No

In 2011 Dosumu used religion to campaign but it didn't work

Now 2015 PDP attempted to use ethnicity to campaign -u see, PDP has nothing to offer,except their tribal n religion campaign. Lagosian are wiser-its a pity Igbo are allowed to be cut up in this mess. They are being used by Ifeanyin Ubah n Agbaje. They should stop

ogene007:
Lagos is not south Africa because everyone here is first a Nigerian before being Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba. Kindly get that into your bigotry infested brain.

Comon sense is not a gift-its a burden on me and those who have it to make sure u guys that don't have it can understand

adorable29:
Could you all just shut up! Your senseless and illogical rants is epic, I swear!

Please answer this simple basic questions.

Did the "no man's land issue start during Agbaje vs Ambode election?

Was it Agbaje that ALL OF A SUDDEN without immediate provocation starting wishing a section of the country death and start ranting on and on about a particular section of the country voting his handpicked candidiate or be killed?

Who exactly was therefore didrespected?


Who therefore started the tribal sentiment as far as THIS election is concerned?


Is it not the same Igbo out of respect and courtsey that went to the Oba's palace only to be told mean and evil words?


Is it not expected that naturally the Igbos will react?

Ofcourse, Agbaje is PDP and was not going to win anyway! I mean Tinubu delivered Lagos even when PDP was the stronghold talkless of now!

But that still doesn't mean as a citizen of this country, the Igbos will not vote who ever they like.!

My question still remains, How exactly did Agbaje start the tribal division cos all evidence points to the Oba starting it! (talking abt this election ie)

Or are you guys really this illogical?


Quote me and be thrown into the Lagoon!

Ok, its a free world. Quote me if u like.... Sips lipton!

Ifeayin Ubah has been going about telling lagos igbos that Lagos is a no man land. He wants all igbo to vote Jimi Agbaje- and Agbaje calculated on this,he now told Ndigbo that he will elevate their lagos kinship to equal Oba of Lagos. Naturally,Oba of lagos was furios,had to call Ndigbo to for meeting since they are his friend,they should not listen to agbaje and vote Ambode which they agreed on-to further home his promises,he had to made them swear or they drown in Lagoon. So this is not actually careless from oba

losky4real:
exactly am from Delta State and I can tell you that! And I never knew ibos claimed oil though but anyhow if you go to Niger Delta, most of them don't take Education seriously that's why they went into militancy so how do you expect such people to invest the oil well? I am proudly delta Isoko to be precised , my village has bin destroyed due to oil but I don't see anything different! I ask would we drink the oil with the kind of youths there? Enough of this crap! We need each other and the ibos don't have oil, they are hardworking , the northerners have food, the west are Educated . Try removing each group n get the outcome. We can't survive

everybody is conscious of their tribe,each want dominance. It will be too bad dictating how political environment would be run in someone else's state. God knows I love Igbos business sense and their adventurous mind. They travel far n wide. But anybody using them to score political gain should be told to sit up. That ifeayin Ubah should be put in his place and agbaje too.

The niger deltan would always do that-its because they have oil,if not,you will see them working hard. Samething with *omo-onile* in lagos. They don't work,they sit down and sell lands anyhow. Nigerians need one another-no one is independent of each other. That's why we are called nigeria. Chief Innoson will not want nigeria to disintegrate-same for all this wealthy successful igbos. Who have investment all over Lagos .and Nigeria! Let overcome hate and let move on. No tribe or culture supersede each others.

shamelly:
1-0

even tho he is not Yoruba, we all love him still. I think people of surulere if not lagosian can do anything for him when it comes to political support. Nobody asked him whose origin he is. That's how it should be,not that he started claiming Lord over yorubas. The fact is Yorubas take Foreigners serious. We love them and support them even at the expense of our own-nobody should take that for granted- igbos should learn from desmond not from *ifeanyin Ubah * who is claiming what is nothing in Yoruba land

Thank you.

new2020:
Very shameless yoruba man. Lagos maybe in SW however very different from Osun, Ondo, Oyo, Oyo, Ogun and Ekiti in that 80% of taxes and duties paid into its coffers are by non yorubas...keep that in mind. When next you see Fashola commissioning a project...say big thank you to the non yorubas who are funding it through their taxes and duties. You think Lagos can function without them? You people should be very careful how carelessly you speak. Also say big thank you to the Niger Delta for your behemoth monthly allocation...you think you can survive without this handout by generous Niger Delta people? Speaking as a Niger Deltan, the day you Yoruba will marginalize any non yoruba in Lagos, be prepared to lose your federal monthly allocation and non payment of taxes and duties by non Yorubas...let's see how you will survive. You think Lagos would have attained its current economic and social status without nom yorubas and federal character? You want one Nigeria, you must abide by every law that glues us as Nigerians.

so if you go to South Africa as business man,and you pay taxes,because you pay your taxes,you will now start claiming Lord over the indigenes? Or because igbos are many in ghana who do good business and pay their taxes now means they can claim lordship over political environment in the land?

See,we value Igbos input in Lagos,their business sense and success are highly recognized! Samething for hausas who in sabo market scattered all over lagos. But it doesn't mean igbo should now start to getting agitated on our political issues- that naturally will trigger hate or resentment among the Yoruba- as far as west is concern,yorubas are the real owner of the land- we have obas,baale,land owners who are yoruba and they are not igbo. Igbo should recognize and respect yoruba here . That's what we are saying- saying no man land or igbo will be governor of lagos or igbo will decides the political environment of lagos can bring resentment from yoruba- Yoruba are politically wise-we know what we want when it comes to politics. We are very calculative and objective when it comes with voting- Igbo can not bring in their sentimental voting here it and spoil our vision for good governance- go to Ekiti-they know what they want-they want Fayose,even me as a yoruba does not understand why they are still clinching to Fayose- and I respect them for that. So please-nobody says you should not do your business in lagos.we all need each other that's what we call it unity-

PS- you claiming niger delta owns the oil,and feed nigeria? Yes I agreed,but what are the Niger deltans have be eating before oil boom? Who has been feeding them since?whose money used in building their pre-oil boom government institutions? Please enough pf it. We all need each other it as simple as that. Yoruba will never claim land ownership on niger delta or seeking for political relevant in their land. So dig it

omokab:
Well said. If a visitor is becoming too arrogant to the person that accommodate him,definitely he will be shown his way back to where he's coming from. I don't know how a visitor will be claming too know of another's property. The best thing is to throw them out of Lagos let them go back to their land and develop their place. At the same time I can't blame them is useless PDP that want power by all means I will blame. They are the one giving them too much popularity and they will later regret it.Is it possible for any other tribe to do all this nonsense in their state?Bunch of ingrate.Lagos give you opportunity to be part of their government by appointing you commissioners,hon and other benefits but you can't think to appreciate rather to be ungrateful.Like I used to tell your ibo fellows that yorubas don't like problem but if you put us to the wall you will see hell more than what Oba Akiolu said.In term of everything in the country and around the world we senior you.Education,population,money,international connection etc we are not your mate.If it leads to war honestly speaking you will go down in history.just a little word for you!

Abeg are they the only Immigrant in Lagos? Why is their own so frustrating? I thinl they are becoming too irritating- its high time Yoruba ask them to do their worst- vote for Jimi let see- but any hatred Yoruba gave to them,let it be known that they brought it on themselves . Period!

Adesiji77:
In an effort to forestall another build up of non-performing loans (NPLs) in the banking industry, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and deposit money banks (DMBs) in the country yesterday disclosed plans to publish the names of new bank debtors.


In addition, the central bank said it might be compelled to stop such loan defaulters from accessing FOREIGN EXCHANGE through the interbank FOREIGN EXCHANGE market.


The Director, Banking Supervision, CBN, Mrs. Tokunbo Martins, who disclosed this while briefing journalists at the end of the 321st Bankers' Committee meeting in Lagos, said the names of those she described as “chronic debtors” would be published alongside the companies they represent, their directors, subsidiaries and other associates.



Martins who declined to give a specific date or period when the names would be published as well as the total amount owed by the debtors, said banks are currently compiling the names.


She said that the decision was aimed at preventing another banking crisis.
The central bank director explained: “The CBN has managed to keep the banking industry safe and sound in collaboration with all members of the Bankers’ Committee.


“But some data shows that it is increasingly becoming difficult for some debtors to pay up their loans. So it was decided that going forward, one thing that we may do is to stop them from getting access to foreign exchange.


“Another thing that we also considered going forward is to publish the names of the borrowers that refuse to pay up. This is to ensure the continuous safety and soundness of the banking industry.


“It is not all debtors, it is the bad and chronic debtors, those ones that have deliberately refused to pay, those are the ones we are talking about.”
Martins, who put the current banking industry’s NPLs at 3.3 per cent, maintained that the central bank wants to ensure that the figure does not exceed the five per cent limit.


“Total loans in the industry are in the region of N13 trillion. Right now, we have not reached the upper limit of five per cent on NPLs, but we don't want to get there. That was why we decided that we need to come out with this measure.
“It is not only the names of the bad debtors, the directors, the subsidiaries and every member of the board that would have their names published,” she added.


Responding to a question on what would happen if a debtor or his firm decides to source FOR FOREX from other market sources, the central bank director said: “There is no way we can stop the bank debtors from purchasing forex at the parallel market, but that will come to them at a cost because it is more expensive there. What we are more concerned with is the official market.


“You recall how much was spent by the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) to clear up toxic loans and so we just want to make sure we are proactive and that we don't go back to a situation like that.


“There was a time we had NPLs at 2.5 per cent and 3 per cent, 3.3 per cent and so it is important that we take action now and not wait till it is too late.”


Also speaking at the media briefing, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Union Bank of Nigeria Plc, Mr. Emeka Emuwa revealed plans by banks to reduce the limit on the usage of naira debit cards abroad.


Emuwa said the committee took the decision because of some cases of card abuse abroad, which he stressed was also a threat to EXCHANGE RATE stability.


The limit currently is $150,000 per annum, but this would come down to a more practical level, he said, adding: “Whether you are using your card domestically or internationally, will not be affected.”


The Union Bank boss explained: “We did find that in a number of cases people were using the cards in a manner that they were not expected to use them and there have been cases of arbitrage. So in order to sustain stability, what was agreed by the committee was that the limit for the use of the naira debit cards would be reduced.


“As a customer, if you have a dollar account, you will still have unfettered access to it, but for naira debit accounts, the limit would be reduced to a more judicious level.


“This specifically refers to the use of these cards abroad because when they are used abroad, the merchants have to be settled.
"Even if it is at ATMs, the service provider, Visa or MasterCard, has to be settled in foreign currency and we find that it is a drain on the foreign resources available to FINANCE our industries.
“So there is going to be a reduction in the annual allowable draw down using naira debit cards abroad.”

kendrick9:
if buhari is against corruption then why is the likes of tinubu,ameachi etc his party mates.. or are u just blinded by buharism that u can't see the truth and be objective?

Tinubu is not corrupt or let me say, GEJ and EFcc are both toothless bull dog who cant bite. how can they be calling Tinubu thief and he is still running in the street. i mean its absurd calling him that. Logically , Gej and in cronies aught to have sue for fraud by now. so if they cant, why then are they trying so hard to paint him this way.this is a shame to GEJ'supporter. thjey should be tired of calling Tinubu ole .what has he stolen? they are indirecting telling us that he is smarter than them .

[quote author=phemmyutd post=32033974]My sister in Owo Ondo State just informed me that there is serious robbery going on in Owo. for the past 3hours. that every where is now silent just the Gun shot sound everywhere. can someone confirm this plz .

society not governed by law is a jungle.

yoruba says "aki ro didun ifo ki a ho ara degun* let me try to translate it *we cant because of the pleasure we enjoy in scratching off the itches ,to now scratch deep to the bone*

my point is, yes we all want buhari to be prosecuted , but we cant just trample on the Judicial proceeding ,by rush into judgement ... there is time of judgement,there is time for appeal even up to supreme court. no sane court would hear that kind of case on the timeline of this election. it is not sincere at all. let the time be convenience and let get this over with. they can do it after election before 29 of may so they should free matter jawe

Arysexy:
I ought not to reply u cos it's obvious u are either daft or just ignorant.

The massacre was before d war, ewu. The selective killing of igbo soldiers by Buhari and cohorts resulted to d secession and war.

Again go and read history

But if you are very vast in law of logic. You will know that there is law of #cause n effect,action and reaction. Who first carried out selective killings? Was igbo not the one invaded all the government at all level? I even watch this #movie, by adichie . Igbo caused the war and now playing the victim. Please if u want to be biased I understand . Its typical of u guys to do so. We all read history and don't just come here and distort the history

Matthewbriggs:
I would love to hear any APC supporter contradict this.

It is popular knowledge that Muhammadu Buhari's APC, have been calling for an immediate price reduction on fuel products to reflect the down scaling in global oil prices. Something he never did in his time.

Feul price changes of administration before and after him.

•Obasanjo - from 9k to 15.3k
•Shagari - from 15.3k to 20k
•Buhari - from 20k to 20k (Price remains the same)
•Babangida - from 20k to 39.5k

In the glut of 1984, oil prices slumped from around $30 to about $14 (53% drop), the Nigerian dictator (Buhari) at that time did not reduce the pump price of petrol. Thirty years later, in a similar circumstance but with a price slump of 50%, President Jonathan reduces the pump price by N10.

I just bought 10 litters for 870N.

APC stop this hypocrisy you are sharing oh.

GEJ till 2019

I didn't know u have akamu as brain.

So bc some igbo officers executed a coup, everyother igbo in military deserve to die whether they are part of d coup or not? Even civilians? Did it occur to u that an igbo officer ironsi stopped d coup in lagos?

Going by ur logic, yorubas ought to be massacred bc one of d 5 majors that planned d coup is yoruba.

Go and educate urself

its war, war does not determine who is right,only who is left.
Igbo soldiers take up fight against nigerian and they lost so deal with it. They fought war they can't win.

I was at under bridhge Ojuelegba last friday listening to People discussing politics. Even after the news paper vendors have closed. I was just going from group to group listening to who they are supporting. I was impressed with whom they are supporting-Buhari. One ibo guy was even supporting buhari and I was like nna mehn ! In my office,headoffice inside busses n in the market people are angry ,hating Jonathan n pdp. Its only my brother who feel indifferent against buhari-imagine. I tried my best to convince him, he always saying buhari is a Muslim so he won't vote for muslim. I told him, Egbon,I want #change but later I discovered why he actually don't want Buhari- he is mechanical engineer who specialize in installing Big generators,industrial generator,shipping generators n any kinds of Big big gen. For him, its good that electricity is bad so people will buy more generators n he thinks Jonathan n PDP won't improve electricity in the next years to come. So he will still be in business.SMH. For that he won't vote someone whom seem likely to improve electricity . Imagine that

Charles said 99% of Nigerian entertainers are for GEJ. He wasn't talking about Yoruba actors and actresses.
Daramola take note.

No! Charles Novia means eastern n southern entertainer! Igbos would be disappointed in this scheme of things. Going tribal to win election is total wash

This is a distortion of truth. This is not the statement and this post should not be placed on front page. Please remove this post . Its misleading and inappropriate. Nairaland should be clean and one should be able to come here to read fact not cooked up lies. Her statement is on TV. Screen and that's not what she said. Please do the needful by moving this out of homepage

Thanks.
