Ajewealth123:

They are easy to manipulate and overide.
Cecelia ibruprofen
And now this woman

PFRB:
Ok let us get some education. When Biafra becomes a country, it will be part of ECOWAS and Nigeria will also be part of ECOWAS. So both countries will be governed by ECOWAS rules and statutes as fas as movement of people and immigration is all about.
Those in the Fed civil service will convert to Biafran fed civil service. Those Nigerians in the Fed civil service in Biafra will relocate to Nigerian fed civil service

If the president is smart, and I believe he is, he will never marginalize the Yorubas or the SW.

The stability of this country was based on a tripodal arrangement between the north, east, and west at Independence. The current political instability is a result of neglecting this principle since after the civil as a way of punishing Igbos, ironically, the north grew too big, the south(west and east) grew smaller and weaker.

As Onye Igbo, I know that while Yoruba marginalization may be benefitial on the short run, on the long run, we'll loose more if Yoruba muscles are allowed to atrophy, and the Hausa muscle hypertrophies. For a start, the Igbos will loose an opportunity for a healthy and reasonable competition in academics, economy, and sporting events if the Yorubas are marginalized.

Let me also say that the majority of Yorubas, at least those in Government since after the war didn't see any thing wrong with marginalizing Igbos for their own short term gain, but we don't have to make the same mistake.

The Yoruba should be made chief judge, Speaker of the House, or attorney general, we must focus on the tripodal structure not the current lopsided state arrangements designed by the Hausa military to maxmize Hausa benefit from the federal government.

igbozionism:
why will lagos have her own state managed oil company when non of the Niger delta states has none? I weep for this country

This is a trite, tired, played out, stupid and ridiculous canard.

If the elites fronted by LASG want to "help" poor people have better living conditions than the shanties, then they should construct low cost housing like every other sensible country does! It's only in Nigeria that basic accommodation is treated like a privilege and not a basic human right.

The only housing constructed by any public or private developers is always targeted at upper middle class people, with prices starting from N4 million - which cleaner or driver living in a shanty can afford that? Why isn't your government starting from that basic issue before going around displacing people to create waterfront property to put in their glossy YouTube videos about the fake prosperity of Lagos? Why is the government not doing basic things like constructing drainage for Lekki Phase 1 which floods everytime a little rain falls, but supposedly it is chasing some grand megacity vision which can only be achieved by making thousands of struggling people homeless?

Have people committed some kind of crime by not being rich? Will there not always be need for drivers, cooks, cleaners, nannies and security guards? How much do these people get paid? Where in Lekki can they find affordable accommodation that will enable them to keep their jobs and maintain an honest living? Why are you avoiding this elephant in the room by talking about how shanties are bad? Who wants to stay in a shanty? Is it a thing of choice? Will everybody be a subsistence farmer in their village because you and your government don't want to fix the glaring problem of lack of reasonably priced modern accommodation in Lagos?

Go and tell the people you work for that they cannot stop poor people from all over Nigeria coming into Lagos to look for a better life, so instead of trying to bully them away by destroying their illegal settlements, you should instead construct low cost housing, fix the transport infrastructure problem and generally just do your fecking job as a government instead of looking for useless shortcuts.

It's not a crime to be poor. Poverty is not a moral failure. It is a result of circumstances. The government has a responsibility to everybody it collects taxes from, including poor drivers and cleaners living in shanty houses in Lekki Phase 1. Tell your government that its primary responsibility is not to rich property developers and ocean sandfillers. Tell them that the agency cooks and house maids working in Lekki Phase 1 are also paying income tax to the government that is not doing its job.

Tell Ambode to stop reading what he has paid journalists and social media loudmouths to write about his government. Tell him to start doing his goddamn job and stop chasing poor people.

Please let's be sensible n stop making wild allegations. Where u there? Dats how u people say things u don't know n makes it looks like it's d truth. Is dat the first time d Eze ndigbo will be going to d Dejis palace oga? Has he been wearing his cap? Why wld he refused to take off his cap? Stop spreading false rumours I beg in God's name

vanbonattel:
Correct talk. I will like to know the qualification of the deji. Sultan of sokoto comes to Enugu on January and is seen with his full regalia everywhere he went and the masses waved and cheered him to show him we are all the same people. Yorubas are so so insecure.! Why?

vanbonattel:
When he was helping the deji to win, was he not going there with cap on his head?

vanbonattel:
Jealousy has no medicine. My question is, is the Eze ndi igbo fighting for power with the deji?

If not why is the deji worried or is he just intolerant?
