Aboki illiterates are mad. They think Nigerians are fool. Abeg expose them, we want to know them self. Idiots, with useless man sitting In another man's land. He will die and nothing will happen.

zenmaster:
Your question is illegitimate

Because you have no brain to tackle it. I understand. Now, customer want to buy Gala. Let sensible igbo with brain come out and answer. I challenge you people.

zenmaster:
Have you taken your Igbo-phobia medication today?

Igbophobia ko, cannabiphobic ni. Is that the question being asked here, or why shifting goal post Mr Lagos is bini land?

Odingo1:
Bini empire own and established Eko which is renamed lagos by the colonial master after capturing Eko from Binis. Oba of lagos said the same. Awori settle first and also Egun from Benin repulic and Ijaws on the island waters,the Binis came and conquered and rule over Eko till the coming of white colonial masters.

Point of correction, binis did not conquered, open your eyes and brain when reading. The aworis told the son to be their leader. Not conquered. Maybe you need to bring where you read where there is any fight that made binis to conquered the aworis, then I will take you serious, but don't deviate from the questions.

CaptainGOOD:
Lol...goal post shifted as usual.
See ur mentality..is traveling all abot making money.
Pls Tell me where i said u should come to my region.

To be honest i thought its only hausas that makes this mistake of thinking anybody who is not from north or west is igbo.
Thats why u made the mistake on the lady..LOL
Yet u will say u ar educated.

.

If you like, call it shift of whole pitch. L I want is stop begging me to come to your region. Simple. I am not interested.

CaptainGOOD:

LAGOS BELONGS TO BENIN.
truth hurts.

Arguing with you will surely makes me look stupid. I shouldn't have at all.

MasterKim:
Most easterners are half literate. They read from the middle or from the back. if not they'll read the part that the aworis are the original settler even till this day. Abi d aworis are binis again

unohbethel:

@op biko kpele o.

I didn't need any sorry jor, before I opened the thread, I have bet with everything that none of those idiot can answer the question. Even their supreme lord and saviour can't. I challenge kanu on these particular topic as well as oba of Benin.

zurich1010:
Don't mind the dumb Afonja.

You are more dumb than sheep, even sheep brain is more greater than yours, none of you people has answered these two questions before and it is a big shame.

Elose11:
Does America share boundaries with Spain? Yet it was a voyage, led by Christopher Columbus, sponsored by spain, that founded america.

So if Benin founded Lagos, why hasn't oba of Benin himself come out to claim Lagos himself. And why haven't you answer those two questions?

Nyouth:
is like you are a small baby states are not natural creation states in Nigeria is a political creation as a form of government. it's possible that the binis first get to the place they called Lagos today and have there settlement there. moreover it's the present oba of Lagos that that told everyone the history of Eko known as Lagos today. according to the oba he said it was the Binin that name the place Eko

Then you need to read this to clear yourself of ignorance.
Early History
Before the Portuguese name of Lagos had been adopted, Lagos' initial name was Eko which referred mainly to the Island. The first to settle in Eko were the Aworis.[8] The Awori hunters and fishermen had originally come from Ile-Ife to the coast. [5] The name Eko comes either from the Yoruba "Oko" (cassava farm) or "Eko" (war camp). Over 650 years ago, the Oba of Bini sent warriors to Eko who were received in a welcoming manner by the residing Awori fishermen. The Bini Prince, Ado, who led the war party, was asked to become their leader. From that point on, Eko belong yoruba. [9]
Postcolonial Era
Lagos State was created on 27 May 1967 according to the State Creation and Transitional Provisions Decree No. 14 of 1967 , which restructured Nigeria into a Federation of 12 states. [10] Before the issuance of this Decree,
Lagos city , which was the country's capital had been administered directly by the Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Lagos Affairs .[10] However, Ikeja , Agege,
Mushin , Ikorodu , Epe and Badagry were administered by the then Western Region Government. [10] Lagos, the city, along with these other towns were captured to create the state of Lagos, with the State becoming fully recognized as a semi-autonomous administrative division on 11 April 1968. [10] Lagos served the dual role of being the State and Federal Capital until 1976, when the capital of the State was moved to Ikeja .[10] After the full establishment of the Federal Capital Territory , the seat of the Federal Government was also formally relocated to Abuja on 12 December 1991. Nevertheless, Lagos still remains the financial centre of the country, and also grew to become the most populous city in the state and the country.
You are even saying it is 'possible, which simply means you don't know what you have been singing about but keep shouting about Lagos because your fellow ignorant people are shouting it.

ShyCypher:
I think the most important thing is you should get a job or some vocation to keep you busy.

Sorry to disappoint you, I have my job. I am an engineer by profession. Besides, that is not the question I asked, if you have no brain to give answer to that, kindly attend to the customer that want to buy gala from you.

Please I want to ask simple questions from the igbos here that always shout Lagos is no man's land today, the next day, they say it belongs to Benin. Which one do you belong to? If it belongs to Benin people as you normally sing, can you answer these two questions below..
1. Do benin people jumped over two states of ondo and ogun to establish Lagos and allow two Yoruba states inbetween them?
2. Can any of you name one boundary that Lagos has with Benin or even the entire Edo as a whole.
If edo people are claiming ondo state, it would be understandable as they have boundary with each other.
Please I need intelligent answers to those questions from our Lagos is Benin land crooners here.

Lala, do the needful.

CaptainGOOD:
Lol see this one... i have been to all states of yorubaland and i can tell u its an eyesore.
Old houses everywhere especially ondo and kwara.
The only place u can bost of is lagos.. which doesnt even belong to u but the benins.
Even ur oba said it.
Lol.

E dey always pain you you people, we have told you, go and build your own lagos in your barren land. You can only cry, you can't change what it has been. Go and call oba of benin to come and claim Lagos. Eda. I always laugh at you people fulishness. The Benin jumped over ondo, and ogun to go and establish Lagos, so that another nation splits them. More reason I always thank God for creating me as Yoruba, because igbos do not have brain. Tell oba of Benin to jump over ondo and ogun to claim Lagos, or he should tell you the boundary they have with Lagos your paradise.

By Bennett Oghifo
A new edifice that would for years to come remain a defining touchstone in structural design and architectural elegance has risen in Victoria Island, Lagos, and it's no surprise why it has been a talking point ever since.
Buildings have long gone beyond serving goals that are merely functional; they have invariably become artistic statements whose aesthetic allure is comparable to an exquisite oil painting on a shimmering canvas. And like works of art lend some beauty to their surrounding space, so do buildings to streets and neighbourhoods. It's for similar reasons that the Nestoil Towers has been such a compelling presence in its Victoria Island, Lagos, location.
Since the protective screen that had obscured a full view during construction was unfurled, the structure has cast a seductive spell, drawing adoring glances. "Caring for the environment is an integral part of us, and so we decided to construct a structure that is intelligent, environmentally friendly and pleasing in aesthetics," a statement from the company announces. If there was any doubt those goals had been achieved, a look at some of its features would dispel such notion.
The approximately 75-metre high Nestoil Towers which sits on a floor area of 32,300 m2. is one of Nigeria's first Silver LEED-certified buildings. Indeed, you really do not have to be versed in the rarefied world of architecture to grasp the import of this. Apart from helping owners save money and resources, LEED-certified buildings foster renewable, clean energy which, ultimately, culminates in improved health for occupants. These are goals regularly voiced by architects and structural engineers, but the seeming impracticability often tends to make such commitments sound more like lip service.
So the project is, essentially, a triumph of ingenuous thinking - a creative handling of a challenging situation. The project's first major challenge is evident in the rather limited size of the land area. This reality had always proved a logistical nightmare during construction, especially at the outset in October 2010, when the Nestoil Group conceived the idea for the development of a mixed use facility, combining offices, parking and living.
That task was entrusted to ACCL Ltd in partnership with JBN/BB Nig. Deploying cutting edge technology and a painstaking attention to detail, the designers and builders remarkably surmounted the challenge of space. The resulting 15-floor structure provide 9 storeys of parking, 23 apartments on 5 levels and 14 office floors including one executive office floor. The icing on the cake, it seems, is a building crown which combine to give the high-rise an imperious presence in the Victoria Island skyline.
Victoria Island's high ground water level was another challenge the engineers had to contend with. The solution was a secant bore pile wall and a jet grouting plug. The Tower's structural integrity could be further glimpsed from the fact that it is secured by a combined pile raft and bored piles with a maximum depth of 54 meters and a foundation slab with a thickness of 1.8 metres. Also, the façade combines a structural glazing system with a high selective glass and a state of the art ALUCOBOND metal façade. So, the building's strong points transcends its aesthetic appeal; there is as much unseen - but reassuring - details to be smitten with.
Sitting literally in the centre of Victoria Island on the Akin Adesola Street junction which connects Bar Beach in the southern flank with Falomo Bridge in the north, and Saka Tinubu Street, the Nestoil Towers is perpetually in the public eye. Amid the commercial bustle and regular traffic gridlock for which Victoria Island is noted, the building is a pleasant distraction.
"The construction of this magnificent edifice, was solely funded by Guaranty Trust Bank," an official of the company explained. "Nestoil's ability to secure this type of credit facility from a bank, was not only a culmination of a strong banking relationship between GTBank and Nestoil Limited, that has spanned over a decade, but also a reflection of the bank's belief and confidence in Nestoil's long term vision and strategy.
"This strong financial support shown by GTBank, is a reflection of the bank's confidence in the Nestoil business and demonstrates their continued willingness and ability to support the company in the long term. GTBank has distinguished themselves as one of the few banks in Nigeria, that truly champion local content and the growth of deserving Nigerian enterprises."
Indeed, in a clime that teems with projects whose completion was either blighted by paucity of funds or litigation arising from disputes between organisations and their bankers, it's a tribute to both company's fidelity to contractual obligations that 36 months after construction began, the Nestoil Towers is ready for use in October. The expected pomp that goes with such grand accomplishments would, perhaps, put Nestoil in the spotlight. It's a celebration that no one should begrudge for a company that launched a modest strides in the oil and gas sector which have today blossomed exceedingly.
"Nestoil and its affiliate companies having operated in the oil and gas sector for over two decades, took a decision to construct its corporate headquarters that will be an Icon that represents the company and what it stands for," a spokesperson for the company said. "In seeking to give ourselves a corporate address identity which will also accommodate Nestoil and its affiliate companies, the Nestoil Towers was born. It also made economic and business sense to have all companies within its corporate group [The Obijackson Group] under one roof, with sufficient lettable office space for desiring third parties."
So, building the Nestoil Towers was a natural progression consistent with the company's dream for excellence. Similarly, attaining a LEED-certified status was by no means a vainglorious quest. The benefits accruing from that may be intangible, but they are nonetheless priceless. In developing such buildings, there is often a focus on materials used for construction. That, of course, goes beyond how much is used to get a better understanding of what's in the materials we specify for our buildings and the effect those components have on human health and the environment. There is as well a more performance-based approach to indoor environmental quality to ensure improved occupant comfort. In addition, a clearer picture of water efficiency is attained. This stems from a capacity to evaluate a building's total water use.
Yet, some would still ask what the fuss about being LEED-certified is all about. In an age where sustainable development has become an existential imperative, it's actually no grandstanding having a seal affirming one's commitment to the ideals of a liveable world. The LEED plaque on a building is a mark of quality and achievement in green building. Across the world, LEED has become the most widely used green building rating system with an average of 1.85 million square feet of construction space certified every day. LEED certification provides independent verification of a building or neighbourhood's green features, allowing for the design, construction, operations and maintenance of resource-efficient, high-performing, healthy, cost-effective buildings. It is, simply put, the triple bottom line in action: benefiting people, planet and profit.
Still, it has to be said that the Nestoil Towers' elegance would be undiminished even without a green certification because an excellent work of art does not require any form of validation. Its beauty is self evident. You would agree if you had seen this building. Those who haven't yet can only imagine the outcome of a blend of the science and art of good taste.
