You are pained! Very pained. Tell your APC spokesman to withdraw the book and write on Buhari instead!

Na Jonathan be first ex-President to be probed in the public space?

Why he cant keep hin mouth shut?

He should be looking for ways to get Anyim Pius Anyim out of prison. Thats his SGF. Very significant!

All these replies to every dick, jack & harry is irrelevant.

You're using the whole ethnic thing to distract yourself from the mediocrity of Nigeria's infrastructure, Lagos in this case, and that's mediocrity at best because Lagos and the rest of Nigeria are not seen as anything more than slums in the eyes of the international community. Despite what you wrote, Lagos has never been an international example for any developing city, its best parts are worse than the worst parts of exemplary cities, and you know that. Trying to draw up example of cities from another part of Nigeria which are slums in order to best another slum (Lagos) would be an insult to anybody's intelligence.

There were places in Europe and even America that were still using oil lamp long after Lagos had switched to electricity to light public lamp posts.

While Lagos was running an efficient tramway places in America were still using horse buggyies.

While Lagos had pipe borne water some parts of Europe were still dependent on well water or acquifers.


There is a history of Lagos best told by Lagosian, an indigene whose ancestry is rooted in the lagoon, not those who came to see what a Lagoon look like.

Lagos was already using cablegram to communicate messages while certaain cities and even countries in Europe were using horse dispatchers to carry messages.

Jonathan continues to be clueless even as a private citizen.

Will he continue to defend and respond every remark made about him?

Loveth, dm me. Thanks

This small girl never mature to fvck, make una leave her alone now. She be virgin and she no want trouble o

How sure r u?u must be part of the fulani ppl that killed those gallant mopol men.The manner at which those mopol men were slaughtered showed that the fulani ppl r barbaric and inhuman.

Why are some people cowered by mere sight of disfigured faces? All what you see there is how miltias and ethnic wars are fought. This has nothing to do with barbarism. Who taught you what barbarism is, Englishman taught you? He hoodwinked you with that word.

What you see in picture is a statement from fulani telling you what he can do.

You have a choice when fulani come to your village with weapons....you either get civil and receive this same treatment on your head or you call the "barbarism" in your spirit to surface and show fulani that you are a more brutal force to mess with.

Stop fearing them and dodging behind name calling....kill them or they kill you!

There seems to be a string of threads about which Nigerian geopolitical zone is the most developed. This isn't just strange since (black) Africa is being fingered on all sides by Arabs, China, India, and a whole line of foreigners, but mostly because Nigeria is a huge crumbling third world slum, yes, all of it, yes, even VI, Victoria Island does not have the infrastructure and planning of a low income neighbourhood in the Netherlands, what it has is very big and overpriced houses...

So I'm wondering, ethnic masturbation aside, is it not very ridiculous and embarrassing to compare regions of a very backward state, for example, for people who have dignity and are generally aware of global standards for cities and infrastructure (including foreigners who lurk here), is it not a form of self humiliation?

Shut up there!
VI, Ikoyi, Apapa, Ikeja, these places have far better amenities than some places abroad. There are streets in these areas you enter and forget you are in Africa.

Ibos brought disorderliness and turned these places to ghettoes.

Go and see pictures of even old Falomo before Ibos turned it into mini Aba.

Nonsense! Maybe people should not compare but to say VI is less than a low income place in Netherlands is f00lish. Thats the side of VI you met after it was ruined by your kins displaced from East.

Atiku will be reckless and ruthless in power. I can see his handlers are already coaching him on body language.....the dos and donts.

AfriAskMen:
There is no law that says you cannot contest for Governor. But if you are not Yoruba you would not win... Jimi Agbaje tried the strategy of going against the Yorubas in Lagos and he lost again in the 2015 elections.

Our electoral laws do not specify that you can only contest in your state of origin... you can contest in your state of residence if you want to.

And guess what? Yoruba Lagosians do NOT care that Ambode's father came from Ondo.

We only ask one question in Lagos...are you Omoluabi?

historyworld030:
Nobody is asking you to, infact what are you guys even doing here ?

Abeg face front o.

babaolofin:
The fact that Barrister Keji Agboola Ajayi was made the deputy governor of Ondo does not denied the fact the Ijaws are settlers in that area. The Ilaje & the Ijaws have fought over ownership of the riverine areas in the time past.
The Ijaws met Ilaje in that area. I remembered Ijaws has taken Lagos State government to court for demolition of one of their settlement in Lagos.


In the ESE - ODO area, Yoruba magnanimity & open heart come to play here. The Ajayi family where the Deputy governor comes from in Apoi area must have strong link with Yoruba because that is a traditional Yoruba family name. I am not sure if he is an Ijaw man.

Having said this, the Binis like to live in fools Paradise. Falsification of history to suite themselves in this century, still living on past lost glory and afraid of the future of their Oba status. Oba Akiolu is their co - traveler.

When Ijaw say the deputy Governor of Ondo is an Ijawman, you will notice no Yoruba responded to them.

Its because the claim itself stinks of ogogoro...so we knew the utterance originated after a stupendous intoxication in the creeks. No same man in his soberness will say Mr Ajayi is Ijaw.

[quote author=ArchangeLucifer post=62891222][/quote]Yeah, we don hear. Yoruba will not invol e in you all SS matter.

So, here is what is going on...

1. A person desperate to go abroad puts word out.

2. Soon the words get to the ear of an agent.

3. The agent makes contact.

4. Desperado and agent talk and come to terms on the arrangement.

5. Desperado is given a schedule, which might involve visit to a cultist for blood oath.

6. From the time oath is taken status change. Desperado becomes property to agent who is now responsible for all expenses of the onward journey abroad.

7. Agent has co-agents that work hand-off points between the local city and the Nigerian/Nigerien border.

8. Departure date is set. Multiple properties are put in a transport to Kano.

9. In Kano, they change hands. They are put in another vehicle for onward transfer to Agadez in Niger.

[One must wonder, at the border post, are these crossing vehicles and their cargoes checked? If girls of certain age bracket keep crossing the same point everytime does it not raise a red flag that something is odd?]


10. In Agadez they are transferred to Toyota Hilux Jeeps, built for the ruggedness of the sand crossing.

11. Many people...men, women, boys, girls are converged from the different West African nations and deposited at Agadez. There can be as many as 2,000 waiting to go to Europe. In their mind, they are halfway to Europe.

12. In Agadez, the tuaregs separate some beautiful young girls, some as young as 12 and rape them before they are transported out to Libya.

13. There can be as many as 200 Hilux or more in the convoy, lined for the rough trip. The passengers are instructed to hold on tight and not fall off. Many do fall off. Nobody stops...the trucks keep on moving and abandon the fallouts. They eventually perish in the desert...men, women, boys, children.

14. There are two transit points before Tripoli. Each rest point is more abuse and rape of girls and women, sometimes the men as well.

15. In Tripoli they are taken to depots from where they are sorted or sold.

16. That desperado that wanted to leave for abroad, if they are lucky to make this far and intact, will likely be handed off to a prearranged handler to smuggle them into Italy and enrolled on the street trade.


[What is in it for Italy? Why do they open their port to boats smuggling in prostitutes and labourers? How do the refugees they rescue end up on the streets? This is how societies shore up their own quality of living, by bringing in a new class of low income earners, who are desperate to labour at all cost in exchange for a lifestyle of opportunity and orderliness absent in their own background. When you bring in a new class of menial labourers your own kind move up in society and enter into midclass, which further move those previously in middle class up to aristocrats. Its all done through taxation....this is the trick for societies to earn huge gdp and become wealthy, through the labour of the low class. Italy is thus accomodating the black low class to be smuggled in as refugees and start a new cycle of tax generation]


17. So if that desperado that left their local city was female she'd eventually end up in Italy, after series of unpaid service being used along the way to Libya, in Libya where she might spend weeks or months before smuggled across to Italy where more agents await to recruit them and begin using the poussy as a bank deposit.


18. If the desperado was male...he might never make it past Libya to Europe. This is why returnees are mostly males and very few girls...

19. The girls that return did not have pre-arrangements to go into prostitution. Most are mogbo moya! They heard people are crossing to Europe by road and they believe if A can do it, why can't I? A probably did not share the entire story behind their access into Europe. So in Libya they dont have agent to cross them into prostitution in Italy and they dont have money. So they need money. They begin working in Libya and abandon themselves to fate. Many die there in Libya.



So the blame should start locally. The slavery started in a local city in Nigeria. Through a long drive to Kano and through the glaring eyes of our Customs and Immigration officers. Or maybe the smugglers avoid border posts and go through other routes.

What is going on in West Africa? The internet and hip hop culture has brought in a appetitte for glamour and living larger than life. Every boy and girl in a local village wants to go abroad and go to club and drive Range Rover and Jaguar.

Wahala dey o!

I wouldnt mind to have the whole city occupied by Ibo....on one condition, Yoruba will be the tax enforcers!

Yorubas should stop muscling with Ibo. Let them have whatever they desire in Yorubaland....just make sure you hold on to the political power and the law....customary and civil laws.



Meanwhile, to Ibos, this is what your new city will look like. Go and bring your people to come buy land, right on the ocean.

igbodefender:
What do you mean, Sir?

You have a realization that Igbo will produce president in 2023. Where did you get this, who gave you such a commitment?

igbodefender:
Editor’s Note: Given the realization that 2023 is the Year Of The Igbo Presidency,
and the need for a good candidate of Igbo extraction to emerge in that year, we will periodically be presenting to you profiles of possible candidates, so that awareness can be created, debate can be informed and if possible consensus can emerge.

The emergence of a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction is seen as very important by millions of our countrymen for different reasons:

Some believe an Igbo President will use that charscteristic Igbo enterprising attitude to fix many things in Nigeria. Importantly, it is seen as a way to give the Igbos a sense of belonging in the Nigerian project, as they have faced marginalization ever since the end of the civil war.

This series is part of our contribution to the effort. The candidates we will profile are not necesarily our choices. Let the People decide.

Nna, who gave you this realization?

imhotep:
you are not from Lagos state.
Stay away from Lagos.

...The owners of Lagos are from Ife, not Enugu.

Yyeske:
Are you indigenous to Lagos, if you are not then you are a foreigner like the Igbos in Lagos

Im indigenous to Yorubaland, from the ocean to the river. Are you?

Yyeske:
We are both refugees though I have more right than you do there since I was born there unlike you who just migrated three years ago.

You are trying so hard to shake off your Ibo ancestry and become Yoruba by fire by force

kn23h:
Igbo refugees omoluabi

. Thats a new one!

Yyeske:
Just like you too, we are foreigners in Lagos

You are confused.

No Yoruba is a foreigner in Lagos. Are you aware Lagos is a member of Odua Investments Group? Are you also aware Lagos is member of DAWN, both Headquartered in Ibadan.

imhotep:
Tell us your state of origin.

In iboland state of origin is critical for identification because resources are scarce so each iboman is asked to identify himself to make sure he is not taking or cheating citizens of their privilege.

In Yorubaland we operate differently. We are blessed in abundance that state of origin is a foreign term to us. What we ask is omoluabi....this is how we identify for privilege.

Anyone in the Yoruba commonwealth is an omoluabi and entitled to privileges beginning from the Ocean all way to the River.

kn23h:
Aren’t you an immigrant in Lagos?

You sef like to make these people important. Where is their immigration papers if dem be immigrant?

They are displaced people. Displaced from their land due to gully, starvation and crime. We absorbed them in kindness as refugees so they wouldnt perish in East.

kn23h:
Political correction. He tendered apologies to immigrants in Lagos

Immigrants ke, which one be immigrants? You mean refugees!

What they are asking for is illegal. They want to get rid of the indigenous ownership. They will not achieve that but considering the depth of rot in our government, they might get it through. Consumers ought to respond in kind by boycotting 7up products.

When are Ibadan city planners going to recognize Ibo and give Okonkwo or Chukwuemeka a street? This is marginalization; UN must see this.

Is there no customary law and courts in Edo?
This is a simple matter. Research the archives and find gazzetes about gelegele and who owns it.

BlowBack:
This is like asking why there is no NNPC HQ in the Niger Delta.

Oil palm was not a significant revenue earner for the western Region. Stop claiming sh1t

You have to prove that oil palm was not significant in West.

Saw this pdf "Annual Report 1914, Nigeria " (see link above) which showed gross revenue between the north and southern regions after one year of almagation.

Go to page 7 and see for yourself how Nigeria's greatest revenue earner at over €1million pounds ( at least 10 times higher than any commodity export even cocoa) is proof that Niger Delta and eastern Nigeria has been feeding Nigeria since almagation.

Are you aware that palm oil was harvested all over South, all the way to Ibadan?

This was even written by a muslim.
