Fashola's real motive is to chase Nigerians from other regions of the country out of the state, since they're perceived as constiuting the major population of Okada riders. Sadly, that's a jaudiced &ethnocentric view, of which dis governor is a champion. I laugh wen ppl call dis arrogant &tribalistic dictator d future president. We are all in dis country, &som of us will be waiting till then. If it ever happens (which is a 1/1000000th chance anyway), we shall know if som immediate coups are not moral... Som ppl act like they own d country &its people. But olori oko mbowale. I just hope he doesn't hav any future political ambition, even tho dat stil does not really guarantee he &his record-corrupt daddy &their ilk anywhere in Nigeria won't face prosecution wen justice takes over in dis country

So ACN has a chairman? I thot Tinubu is their alpha & omega in that regional, ethno-centric party. Bisi Akande should be ashamed of himself that at his age & status, he allowed himself to be a total sitting duck to a humongously soiled politician. When things are finally set right in Nigeria, Tinubu will definitely not escape the uncorrupt hand of true justice. For now, let him continue to 'enjoy' his tax returns from d states accounts &properties in his sattellite states &buy all d SANs in the southwest (including his stooge guvnor in Lagos). That day is coming & IT SHALL DEFINITELY COME!

I'm seriously praying CAF puts Ghana in Nigeria's group. With IK Uche, Moses, Musa, Emenike, Martins, Joel Obi, Igiebor, Nsofor, Osaze, Anichebe etc, I don't see how Ghana will not be beaten black &blue up to 5-0. Guys, asides that their number 3 (wat's his name sef?) &that arrogant, overrated boy Marseille wants to offload (Ayew), GHANA DOES NOT HAV STARS! FULL STOP. Ghanaians are always running their mouth against Nigeria, including their FA boss. It's a complex they have against their big neighbour &brother. JEALOUSY, cos we're always d head in Africa, technologically, militarily &economicaally. The same Zambia that whipped them were the ones we beat 2-0 witout stress, even with our present stars o. Royal &co, abeg shoo away, or go &form a Ceediland. For example, cos we dont havv ur kind of complex, u won't find a Nigerian there. We're too dignified to stoop so low!

But why are most Ghanaians (like this one here dat calls himself Royal) so obsessed wit Nigeria dat dey hav an inferiority complex beside their big brother nation? I notice dey luv 2gatecrash dis forum compare &try 2beliitlle a country of 150 million people &Africa's leading nation in any global forum, so dey culd feel better. Are u kidding me? Un-Royal & co, listen up: most Nigerians sumtyms 4get there's a Ghana (just like most African nations, except maybe South Africa &Egypt). &am not just talking football! (On a good day, Super Eagles wil beat ur team to a pulp. Am prayin u hav d misfortune of bein in our group). It includes militarily, economy &technology. We might hav slight issues, but dats because we're a big &important nation. So, shooo away; cos we only see d US & Western Europe!

Ministers acting so disrespectful &aloof to d citinzenry which they're supposedly accountable to. Policemen &other security officials acting barbaric &wit impunity wen in groups. Journalists &many other 'professionals' cutting across sectors (most of dem half-baked &greedy for bribes &brown envelope) acting so unprofessional &wit a herd mentality (wen u come across a western journalsit or a Nigerian journalist wit a western mentality, u'll be ashamed of a typical Nigerian 'reporter'). Plus a president &a political class (both d govt & d no-good-either opposition) who seemed to hav lost touch wit d realities &acting overwhelmed by d challenges on his table. ALL OF THESE ARE SYMPTOMS OF A DYSFUNCTIONAL SOCIETY. WE DONT NEED ANY WINDOWDRESSING. WE MUST RESET THIS FAULTY FOUNDATION &REBUILD DIS HOUSE, &D DUTY IS NOT FOR THIS CURRENT POLITICAL GENERATION...

While it's obvious her man is abusive &unloving, why is no asking her to sincerely state her own fault in d falterin union? It takes 2 tango, or does she want to say he's 100% guilty, &she, guiltless? Wat triggered his stingy &cold attitude? She said he accused her of not cooking or washing for him? Wat's her response to dat? If dats true, dont u think it wil make him frustrated, esp wen he sees his friends's wives behaving otherwise? Let's stop arguing emotionally, esp d female folks here. Aside bearing d 2 kids &helping out a little financially, how does d poster make her husband happy?... To feel marriage has improved d quality of his life, & not an added financial responsibility?

But wit all these evidences staring us in d face, how difficult is it to parade those demonic mob who committed this henious crime against humanity? Wat did Odi community in Bayelsa do again in 1999 dat made Obasanjo send soldiers to wipe dem off? Yea, i rememba, dey killed 7 policemen (normal, dignified killin wit gun o!). Wat has Jonathan done? Not even an aoplogy! D police IG, d Rivers commissioner, DPO etc hav not even resigned! Is Nigeria really a country? Anarchy here &there. Give me high-profile weapons, special comm gadgets & just 4 crack guys, & i wil fish out the entire mob in only 4 days! We dont hav security in dis country o..d Nigerian police shuld be disbanded now!

I soo feel like a James Bond 007 or a Jack Bauer right now! Wit such incriminating video evidence, if i get a crack SWAT team of just 4 red-eyed, cold-as-ice guys; in only 4 days i will fish out d beasty plank-hitting guy & all of d bystanders. EVERYONE ONE OF DEM! GBAM! No sweat! Wit me &my team's AMG's, special weapons &detective gadgets, a steely determination & authorisation to specially interrogate &torture suspects, it's gonna be a piece of cake. Nigerian security system na wash! It needs complete overhauling...

SUMOONE REALLY NEEDS TO EXPLAIN TO GIRLS THE REAL MEANING OF LOVE, COS THEY ALWAYS CONFUSE IT WITH LUST &THIS 'FIRST LOVE' TRASH TALK. SOME OF THEM SAY U CAN'T HELP WHO U FALL IN LUV WIT &DAT IT IS UNEXPLAINABLE, &DAT'S WHY DEY LUV BAD GUYS WIT ALL THEIR FLAWS. WAT BALDERDASH! BABIES DATING BABIES. REAL LOVE IS A DECISION (70%); & U CAN EXPLAIN/DEFEND IT TO WHOEVA ASKS WHY U LUV A PERSON. D ONE U CAN't EXPLAIN IS LUST &COS HE DEFLOWERED U, &IT WIL FADE EITHER NOW OR IN MARRIAGE, IF U STUPIDLY GO AHEAD TO ENSLAVE URSELF FOR LIFE!

By God's grace, wen i hav daughters i'l devote my life to guide &educate dem rightly about this stupid thing girls call 'first love.' At no time is a girl more senseless, vulnerable & sucked dry like orange than wen she's 'in luv' wit her 'first luv' (esp wen it's a sinful relatnship &dey're bedmates). It's like dey just want to die wit d guy dat deflowers dem, ignorant dat was wat d guy really 'luved' & dat wat made him stay is d constant &devoted supply of sex wen he needs it (not cos he really luvs. Of course, @dose time flashes wen he lusts afta ur body, he'll tell u he luvs u &u'll b happy). Real luv is pure &untainted by sin, as shown by d oda 2 guys. Wen d scales 4rm ur eyes, u'll see dem &realise u'v bn blinded by wordly music dat brainwashes ppl about real luv &rubbish internet theories dat say good girls luv bad guys. In fact, most guys here ar fornicators &wil stil advise rubbish. Read Eccle 12. 'Rememba NOW thy CREATOR IN THE DAYS OF THY YOUTH while the evil days come not...'

Som ppl say wen u bump in2 ur ex, sparks of luv flicker @d edges. Not always. Sumtyms, seein sum1 who prominently &emotionally featured in ur past unearths a sense of repulsion, hatred, deep regret or shame (dependin on ur part in d seperatn). Except it wasnt genuine &u both didnt really figure out why u guys went seperate ways. Altho not legal, a breakup is also like divorce. Now ask divorcees wat dey feel wen dere paths cross in public. Beware folks, don't play wit ur future. Don't try 2use others as tools, why secretly tryin 2satisfy only. It's not just d 2 of u. A third Person is involved: God!

Men &women ar not just physically &biologically different: in fact, dey may not hav anythin else in common -psychologically,mentally or motivation. No disrespect, just an analogy. Check a dog (Easy 2understand, friendly 2friendly ppl &nothin 2hide) & a cat (always suspicious, scheming, hard 2understand, stealthy & luking &actin 'innocent,' but in truth dangerous). Just pray a woman u're dealing wit is God-fearing. Otherwise, women are 'innocently' dangerous. VERY, VERY DANGEROUS. Whether alone or in groups, their hearts ar a chestful of long-held secrets, grand schemings, manipulations &mind-boggling last-minute surprises. As a guy, pls don't call urself A MAN yet cos u're financially stable, until u're able 2truly understand &relate wit women. Humans ar complex beings, but women take it som notches higher. Dats why God said dey're weaker! But a godly woman is a gift &favour 4rm God like my baby girl. Lol but true!

Tinubu &Fashola seem to show less &less regard 4d central govt &authority. Like sum1 said, wat if other state guvs/govts keep showin disregard 4d centre wit endless, curious &revenue-driven laws like Tinubu, Fashola &Aregbesola? Wont dere be chaos? &4dose shamelessly small-minded tribalists here like Jin sun pak, pls define a Lagosian cos, tho its not my state of origin, i can constitutionally claim a Lagosian (I live here &pay my taxes). I hav full rights &can contest 4d guvnorship. Moreova, being d capital 4many years, Lagos was built wit oil money 4rm my state, my taxes & i hav a full stake here (check out d 3rd mainland bridge &other major infrstructures). It is u who shuld go bak 2ur village cos Lagos is my 2nd village.

I know in MFM, RCCG, APOSTOLIC FAITH, DLBC &similar strong BIble-believin churches, d pastors always remind d members not to bring stolen money to church. In fact, I can confirm dat wen dey see any unusually huge sum like N10m, dey wil investigate, questn d giver as to its source &might return it if unsatisfied. But d catholic church does not even preach born-again &receivin d Holy Spirit, d only reason Christ came to d world. In fact, if u see 'Christians' who are quick to use swearwords here, dey're usually catholics. Born-again xtians act &live like Christ. Dey moderate wat dey say &do.

Most ppl here lamely defendin d rev fathers here ar catholics. I support d EFCC move 100%. Sadly, politicians &corporate giants wit questnable xters ar mostly found in d catholic church cos dere doctrine/'preaching' ar usually pedestrian. Most of its membas go dere cos its a church of convenience wit no serious conscience-probin preachins. Dey just go dere for a 10 mins mass on Sunday &go home, wit so many curious &unbiblical doctrines (e.g worship of an idol dey tell dem is 'Mary'). Som pentecostals might guilty too, but @least dey preach straight 4rm d bible, rather dan abandon it 4cathecism books which artfully distort bible truths

It is bigots, tribalists &xenophobics like ilugunboy &alj harem dat make me insist Obj &GEJ hav bn too soft on Tinubu, Fashola &Aregbesola. I cant imagine a state guv dat keep misbehavin me under me witout remindin d person quickly who's d C-in-C. I wish i meet such myopic &low-minded ppl like in ilugunboy &alj harem in dis Lag so we decide who owns Lagos 4real, afta my state built it wit our petrodolars. Who tells bigots like u u hav more rights in Lagos. I can mess u both up &get u locked up in Lag here. Yes, Lagos! Yes, cos am a Nigerian &can decide where i live in my country &decide how it is run. Mind u, i can also contest 4d Lagos guvnorship.. Lagos is not a country; stop being disiilusioned!

Too many laws, too many uniforms in Lagos; I've even lost count sef. Maybe they shud publish a big textbook like a 'constitutn' so ppl can 'study' it like dey're preparin 4exam. Lol. Dats why i laff wen ppl say Fashola 4President, sum1 i'v studied closely. Even tho my car has a Lag numba &i.v got my documents, most times i dont feel lyk drivin cos u dont know wat 'new' laws Fashola had enacted again in d night while u were sleepin (lol) just 2make more moni 4demselves. I recently took on a bigot in a commercial who said Nigerians who dont like d traffic laws shuld return 2dere country. I shouted on him: 'which country! Am i not in my country here?' D presidents hav bn too soft on Tinubu, Aregbesola &Fashola sef. I wud hav put dem in dere places ASAP!

As for being a xtian &staying a virgin, i gav my life to God as an early teen &maintained a pure life up til adulthood. But sumwhere afta NYSC, i almost lost my head &offended God. Thank God, am fully bak on track &even stronger. I thank my fiancee in part. She has d same bakground as me &neva derailed cos of her strong family support system. We actually knew den, but just casually. Now God has brot us 2geda for really great things. I luv her so much, so pure-hearted. I trust her 101%

I wish i culd marry my fiancee dis Decemba, but we havnt completed d minimum courtship period set by d marriage committee in d church. And she isnt even allowed to frequent my house; so sometimes i kinda feel lonely (i told her so today). I pray my neighbor's sis moves away (her broda is sumtyms out of town on official assignment). I sense she may get desperate &women can be dangerous wen dey're ar. Recently, she askd me 4som moni. Even tho i had it, i didnt giv it so as 2kill attachmnts. Am able 2handle oda women, but dis is a neighbor... Close by

Hi guys, i'v bn readin ur enlightenin posts. Thumbs up, toba &guitarlife. I just dropped off my fiancee close to her house &just got home now. Seein her &spendin som time wit her givs me joy. She's actually God's favor 2me, a pure xtian inside-out &she complements me personality-wise. She's about 70% extroverted/30 introverted & i am vice versa. D problem is my neighbor's sis. She's secretly bn tryin to tempt &pressure me in2 leavin my fiancee 4her cos her own relatnship is in trouble waters. I initially trusted her as harmless, but i didnt know she was startin to think otherwise. I cant tell my fiancess either....

Everyday, I thank God for my fiancee. I am soo happy to hav her cos she's pure-minded, a xtian inside-out &has a deep fear of God. Otherwise 4rm all I'v seen, read, heard &experienced, most Nigerian women/girls ar 2-faced, cheats, devious &shameless exploiters. Later dey settle down wit a guy dat knew nothin about dere ugly past &nemesis catches up on dem. In fact, a married woman was tryin 2make me get down wit her just cos of money. Wit dere sly nature, dey alwys belive dey can get wat dey want &get away wit it! Guys, wen a woman talks 2u or asks u sumthin, think twice b4 responding. Most of dem ar 'innocently' dangerous. Ask Adam about Eve. D serpent went to her, not Adam. U know why? Cos she's naturally sly!

Weneva he's got som gud cash, he's first thinkin of a drinkin spree @d bar wit his friends where he'll drink himself to stupor wit countless numba of beer bottles. He might even pose wit d bottles @d bar wit his friends &post on facebook to show his drinkin 'prowess' to d world. Wen d money is depleted to about 10%, he'll rememba his family &there domestic needs. But poster, how about irresponsible girls &women nah? Dey're plentiful oo. Yuk! So irresponsible, som of dem. Stop makin dem feel like every woman is a saint & every man is a devil.

Well, Op, dats why u hav KFC, sweetsensatn, village kitchen, mayonnaise, blue band, slice buttered bread, roadside akara seller etc for special situatns like dis. See if u guys can cope wit it. LOL. But wait o, wat is it about guys &a woman's cooking skills wenever dey're thinkin marriage? I dont think dere's an african woman dat's totally clueless in d kitchen, it's just dat d skills level ar diffrent. Except u want a fulltime housewife, pls de-emphasize cookin skills. Its secondary, abeg. Weneva am thinkin about my fiancee, am mostly imaginin her as d luvly, educated &eloquent 1st Lady descendin wit me 4rm a private jet to a cheerin crowd. Kitchen is important too, but plsss......

Just 6 months &sum1 is whining her bf has bn gone 'for so long'? WOOOW! Sumbody pls clap 4me; i must be a Pope. Neva knew women ar always dis 'ACTIVE,'& dem go dey form as if it's a man's virus. Anyways @op, if u guys ar romantically involved, d less u see &be wit each oda, d beta 4u until marriage. It sounds ironic, but u need all d discipline now. Then 'unleash' urselves as u may wish in marriage. Dats d number 1 purpose of marriage: Companionship. Personally, i dont joke wit it. I wont take even 2 weeks apart!

@MODs &Seun, pls endeavour 2keep Nairaland decent &respectful by banning &de-registerin xeenophobics like Smoothcrim201S &his bigoted Ghanain folks! BTW, why do most Ghanaians feels so much inferiority complex beside Nigeria? Cos dats wat all dis boils down to in psychology. Always lookin 4opportunity 2bellitle ur big broda, so u can illusinarily feel a little taller. In spite of our slight challenges, is it our fault we're heads &shoulders above dem? Nature isn't alwys fair &u shuld stop fightin it. It's like Cuba alwys futilely tryin 2square up 2d USA

How about GEJ showin courage &liaiasing wit NBA 2present a beta case? So he wants 2waste d 'u-can-reopen-ur-case-afta-10-years' clause? Who is he tryyin 2impress? USA dat doesnt abide by evry ICJ rulin &isnt really bothered about his speech @d UN assembly? By dis gaffe, GEJ has effectivly killed d case for Nigeria &evry new evidence. Future presidents wil hold him responsible for dis blunder. Does he not hav bold &honest advisers? He decided 2d biggest global gatherin 2put a nail in d coffin of his own country's case. PITY!

I didnt pay much attention 2d comin governorship election in Ondo State, since I know it's a walk in d park 4Mimiko (I'v spoken wit a lot of Ondo indigenes &Akure-based friends on different occasions). But d NATION NEWSPAPER's crass, unprofessional &unethical reportage/preview of d election is nauseating. I wonder if ppl who buy it don't see thru dere blatant GREEN lies &'newless' grey contents (includin d wittiless cartoon/op-ed page) dat is essentially borin layers of anti-LP &exaggerated pro-ACN news. Wat bigots of regional politic! Tufiakwa! **spits on d ground**

But why do Nigerian politicians not check their popularity rating b4 deciding to run 4public office? Except 4his errand boys in his PDM &other politicians wit rotten consciences in PDP, Atiku is about d most unpopular public figure among Nigerians 2day. Even if d US Electoral Commission conducts d election, Atiku cannot score 10% in a free &fair electn. Why does he even want 2b president? Cos he has d solutions? No, he feels it is his birthright! Anyway, it is his right, but it is God dat appoints &d ppl dat votes.

I once contacted a female so-called Nollywood movies director/producer (wit d initials M.O) with regard to an African epic script I wanted to partner her on, supposedly for her technical know-how, inside knowledge &access to funds 4rm executive producers. Afta submitting d synopsis 2her, she appeared interested but asked 4a more detailed synopsis. I obliged her &she said it was a promising script, but dat her finaciers were not presently interested in an epic. WHAT?! Yet she knew all along it was an epic. Anoda insider had warned dat wat most of dem do; steal ideas &claim d glory. But dis generatn wit their ills will soon pass away for d Nigeria of our dreams...
