Igbos keeping Nigeria on the world map since 1862.

The jealousy about to hit the roof. More street names to be changed in Lagos. Premium Tears.

Mali and Senegal have heavy French influence. So it still will not be easy with Mali.

Nigeria on the other hand have substantial American influence.

But, last, last we go beat them. But never underestimate Mali. They are at par with Senegal.

All the people telling Atiku to run are APC and Tinubu goons. That is their game plan. How come no APC/Tinubu supporter is asking Peter Obi or El-Rufai to run.

NE and NW cannot not make anyone the president singlehandedly. So these cunning Tinubu people are gambling on the huge protest votes from NC, SE and SS if Atiku is the candidate for ADC.

Simply put, if Atiku is the ADC candidate, Tinubu wins again on the back of huge protest vote from SS, SE and NC.

The only viable option is Peter Obi/El-Rufai. Peter Obi with another popular northerner will fly too. Any other combination gives Tinubu the victory.

If they beat Senegal in the semi-final, who will be in the final then?.

Senegal is our main opposition. The only team on same level with Nigeria.

Someone posed a an interesting question here: WHAT IF WOMEN CAN ONLY GET PREGNANT WHEN THEY REACH ORGASM.

It got me thinking. This will reduce the world population by 60%. The world is overpopulated because it does not take much to get a woman pregnant. A man can make 1000 babies, not just because women are loose and cheap, but because they can get pregnant even when asleep. It takes just one drop of sperm. She does not have to be wet, nor reach orgasm.

Some desperate women have been known to steal a famous man's sperm and impregnate themselves. Many one-night stands have led to unwanted pregnancy for the man especially. I was a victim.

African American population will hit 50 million very soon at this rate.

Airport maintenance and upgrade isn't cheap

There are airports across the world that cost billions, if you want a world class infrastructure in Nigeria be ready to accept the cost, this is just Gatwick airport alone with plan upgrades and maintenance over 2billion dollars already

Stop all these senseless comparism with Western nations. How much is a plumber, painter, mason, electrician paid in the UK? And how much will the artisans be paid in Nigeria?

There are no basis for comparing the costs of renovation between Gatwick and MMA Lagos.

N350b from that budgeted N700b will be stolen. Period.

I had no idea he is from that part of the country. What a surprise.

Justine Madugu: Definitely a Christian.

He did well. A well deserved reward.

helinues:
I am actually yet to understand why some people are crying about the Lagos street rennaming.

Before the street was named after Charly boy, which name is it bearing before?

Abeg, enough of this victims mentality jare

No official named the Bus stop, not street, after Charly Boy.

It was named by the common people. By bus conductors, drivers, Keke riders, Agberos and area boys. Bus stops are named after landmarks located at or near the bus stop for easy recognition. Examples are Ikeja "Under bridge" and Agege "Pen cinema" The LG later adopted those names as official names. Same should have been applied to "Charly Boy Bus stop"

On the topic: These Yorubas from Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, and Ekiti are just oppressing the indigenous Lagosians. They have totally subdued them under the guise of all being Yorubas. Meanwhile an Ondo man will not be made anything in Osun or Oyo. He will not even be allowed to contest for any post. All Lagosians will rise up in the near future to checkmate these Yoruba immigrants. That "State of origin" clause must be applied to them.

This is what you get when illiterate Agberos are made LG chairmen under the APC.


This was all pre-meditated the moment Tinubu lost Lagos state to Peter Obi.

Very insecure and jealous folk.

Forget about VAT, the capital gains tax should be reduced by 50%.

Make capital gains tax 5% instead of 10%.


Na dat one concern me.

stanluiz:
Go and rename Ahamdu bello way .

Go and rename Murtala Mohammed airport!

Do it if you have the balls!! Shebi, una wan preserve yeye lagacy.

Ahmadu Bello Way should be renamed to Portable avenue.

Ribadu road should renamed after Wizkid (I don't know their surnames)

I am serious.

iwaeda:
Agberos and area boys are the main culprits of open defecation in Lagos.

Why was my earlier post deleted. It was an innocent and accurate comment.


Public toilets in motor parks is the responsibility of Local governments. Hence my comment that new elected LGA chairmen should focus on that instead of changing street names and bus stops from Igbo to Yoruba names.

I simply used Bukayo Saka as an example of such idiocy.

When 19 and 20 years old models dey!.

The man must be an idiot.

That's the standard procedure. You have nothing to worry about.

When complications arise, the mother's life is a priority. Especially with premature babies.

helinues:
Such can never be allowed again in Lagos state. Never

It's annoying, disrespectful for some people to be forcing something they can never tolerate in their region on others. So disrespectful

Who are you to decide what will happen in Lagos in the future. That "Never" in your comment is pure delusion and wishful thinking.

Who says the next REC for Lagos state after 2027 will be a Yoruba man. Enjoy what you have now, because it will not last.

Every idiotic, imbecilic changes being carried out now by insecure people with a dose of inferiority complex will be reversed in the near future.

Don't forget that Lagos is a very Tiny and vulnerable state. You people really have to handle it with care and avoid making the rest of Nigeria angry. Annoying the rest of the country will not end well for Lagos state. Lagos should be seen and considered as being more than just a Yoruba state.

Wake me up when we start beating England, Spain, Germany, Sweden etc.


We need to look beyond Africa now.

This idea of beating Zambia 5-0, only to go and lose with 0-5 against Sweden, Netherlands or England in the World cup has to addressed.

WizardOfNG:
Lol. The bolded in your post 100% confirms I would be wasting my own time with any further back and forth with you.

Goodbye and kindly accept my apologies for responding to you in the first place.

Good. It has finally sunk in. You thought I would fall for all that silly rigmarole and generalizations in your responses. It's all about Lagos. No more, No less.

Our national wealth was used to build it. So, it will forever remain a National asset.

Hence it's all about the The bolded. Stop pretending.

Yorubas will get regional autonomy WITHOUT LAGOS

WizardOfNG:
The Yorubas now know clearly what they want, I.e regional autonomy and control of their own socio-economic direction in their land, which should be what you guys should desire also if progressive and sincere.



I.e working to make our respective regions the best homes for us instead of going to drag those of others with them in the name of comatose and discredited 'one Nigeria'.

Yorubas will get regional autonomy WITHOUT LAGOS.

I don't think you get the point. No body is dragging Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Ekiti with you.

Don't forget that any talk of regional autonomy will be debated and approved by both houses of the national assembly and subsequently approved by 2/3 of all state assemblies. We, the people of Nigeria will decide what happens to Lagos. Not you guys from Ondo, Ekiti, Osun, Oyo etc. You are free to go back to your states too.

WizardOfNG:
You're not seeing the big picture which you should
be preparing for if you did.

The Yorubas have simply woken up after decades of slumber. They were the only one, of the four major ethnic group of Nigeria, practicing 'One Nigeria' fully in it's true essence in their land via letting Nigerians from outside the SW have freedom of business opportunities, land purchases, religious worship, association, public administration etc, etc.

It is in the SW alone that the full gamut of Nigeria's federal unity is respected with action and not mere words and rhetoric alone.

Now, the Yorubas have noted they have been victims of a monumental scam from others who take advantage of the sincerity of Yoruba to be demanding in the SW, with a sense of entitlement, what they can never offer Yorubas in their region.

All others put themselves first, second and even last openly and unapologetically in their region.

Yorubas now appreciate the folly that will be ruinous to our generations unborn, in a Nigeria becoming more hateful divided by the day, if we carry on with the 'laissez faire' attitude of 'over-sharing' everything in our land with others who are just covetous expansionist who will never grant us same gracious generosity in their region.

And you plan to "reclaim Lagos" by naming a street after Bukayo Saka of Arsenal. Please go and advice your local govt. chairman. As long as Nigeria remains an indivisible, one nation, Yoruba's cannot do anything about Lagos. The worst you can do is to piss off the rest of Nigerians.

Don't forget that Tinubu and APC have just 2 years remaining in office. Why don't you people go and rename 'Ribadu Road' and Ozumba Mbadiwe on the island. Stop the pettiness.

I am not a fan of all these AI fad. I don't see it as progress. Very much prone to manipulation and abuse.

flokii:
We warned them severally to face their home region and develop the place, they called us names.
Now that Yorubas have finally decided to "ronu", let's see how they will boast about buying up lands in South West or call Lagos no man's land.
Most Yorubas I know (myself inclusive) don't make such annoying assertions about Lagos, even though it's our home, in our home region, we still recognize the makeup of the State. It's time for Yorubas from all over to protect all Yoruba territories including Lagos State to avoid stories that touch later.

Nnamdi Azikiwe tried to separate Lagos from South West but failed, Ojukwu tried same thing from the letter he wrote to Victor Banjo describing Lagos as a colony that will be under Igbo administration once they invade South West region.
Most people don't know that the greed of Ojukwu to annex lands in South West was what fueled the civil war and got Yorubas angry, they are towing same path today thinking Yorubas can't send them pack.ing.

Lagos was already a separate colony since 1861. Nothing to do with Azikiwe and Ojukwu. Lagos was never made a part of the Western region by the British.

It will surely revert to the same old status in the very near future. Lagos will become an FCT just like Abuja. Abuja will be political capital and Lagos will be economic capital with an appointed minister.

You think Dangote, Rabiu, Jim Ovia, Tony Elumelu etc are making all these investments in Lagos only to put it under the control of an Igboho or whatever his name is. Is the Mayor of London an English man?. It's a matter of time.

In Enugu, there is an ADELABU street in Uwani that has been thee since before Christ.

No one even pays attention to it.

Because the LG chairmen in Enugu are above petty gestures.

To make him the presidential candidate?. That will checkmate to ADC. But not effective in the race to rescue the nation.

The Northern vote is crucial.

AK481:
Charley boy bustop wey dem don change like 50 times e no gree change .

No call am charly boy make keke carry you go Azerbaijan

Best post here.

They think you can force change by mere announcement.

Olamide should reject it if he has any self respect.

The governor should ban these LG chairmen from all these nonsense. It's just too petty. They should face real and tangible development.

Imagine naming a street after Bukayo Saka of Arsenal and England. WTF.

"Charly Boy Bus Stop ❌- Baddo Bus Stop ✅"


It's also a complete waste of time because conductors and Agberos will always shout " CHARLY BOY" when they approach the bus stop.

"Charly Boy Bus Stop ❌- Baddo Bus Stop ✅"


What level of insane jealousy is this? Very insecure and childish people.

Who is Olamide where Charly Boy is?. Olamide sef should reject the change.

There are streets named after Nigerians and Africans in Europe for Christ's sake.

I have seen Ken Saro Wiwa street in Amsterdam. Shame on you people.

They better import all the referees and VAR from Europe.


I don't trust Morocco when it comes to African home-grown referees.

All things being equal, Nigeria should win by 3 - 0.

sirsholley:
Is he a Nigerian?

Oooooooooooooooook

Alright ooooooooo

Same question here. That surname sound somehow. Is it a Yoruba surname?.

What is my homeboy gambling for?


His salary should be enough for him.

FirstCounsel:
1. Quickly get a court affidavit and write both banks and have the actual funds in the account restricted.
2. Instruct a lawyer to file an action to have the funds reversed to you.
3. It's the only way out. And do so quickly before the unintended recipient dissipates the funds.

Una go just dey give all these Textbook advice. On top of how much?!

How much will he pay the lawyer? And the court clerk to push the case forward?

Op. your only sure bet is to locate the recipient and appeal to his conscience. He might refund the money.
