My parents spent money to educate me and I have since graduation been spending money to
continually re-educate myself and you are here demanding that I should be educating you for free on Nairaland?

Is that the English they taught you in school. Learn to make use of punctuations where necessary.

GOd Pls do smtin fast to save us frm future calamity!!!

This what I hate about Nigerians. What do U want God to do, come down to become our President or Governor? The churches keep preaching yet corruption & every other form of crime keeps thriving.

The black man is a backward race and will continue to be so till eternity since he continued to kill,maim and even cannibalize his own up to this point in 21st century. The community is even related going by their names(Wani...) just like Aguleri and Umuleri. The world is moving faster and faster leaving the black race behind yet we equate ourselves with the real humans.

Tufiakwa!

They might have to come back & recolonize Africa again. White men are moving too fast.

Deedeedee3:
How can Nigeria be unique with so many languages? This does not make sense to me

Don't mind that guy. He is talking gabash.

xcolanto:
You won't see Nigerian army there now! If its Fulani herds men there are first to report to the scene. Such a biased and one sided country! God forbid

They wouldn't do anything my brother. Be it Fulani or any other tribe. Our security is completely useless.

EKONGKING:
The rate of killings in this country is mind boggling. There is a sense of hopelessness in the country . The people are getting slaughtered like chicken whether it is middle belt , ikorodu or taraba or in any part of the country .Never had it this bad

We don't just have security... The leaders have destroyed D country & dey shall pay with their children's blood.

PERFECT.

oyatz:
Its like you are impervious to reason.
1)I said no city/State develop because of a single factor and gave you interaction of factors but you keep shifting the goals, shouting oil money now, then claiming its the FG and now the British later.

2) Lagos has been a maritime city for over 500 years, this factor make it a destination for many peoples from diverse backgrounds; Portuguese, British, Germans, Americans, returned slaves, Arabs/Muslim missionaries and peoples from other African empires/kingdoms

3) Through out history, areas that are receptacles for diverse peoples often provide fertile grounds for cross fertilization of ideas, exchange of skills and articles of trade with improved civilization.

4) The peoples and leaders of Lagos made and are still making tremendous contribution to the development of the city... Whether you are willing to give them credit for it or not doesn't detract from this fact.

5) The British only settled on Lagos Island, a very small part of Lagos state... It wasn't the business or interest of the British colonialists to develop Lagos or Nigeria as a whole, colonialism was an economic venture!

6) The old federal capital was limited to only 5LGAs (Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland, Eti-Osa, Apapa and a part of Surulere) and it is not exactly the same as Lagos state.
Ikeja, Mushin, Shomolu, Epe, Oshodi etc were never part of the federal capital.

7) The Federal capital has been relocated for over a quarter of a century ,yet Lagos has developed more than when it was the capital.

The South south States and Kano State receive
great fund from 'oil money' than Lagos.

Oil money alone doesn't explain the development of any city/country.
Both Brazil and Nigeria are oil producing countries but Brazil is ahead of Nigeria virtually in all aspects

Get education, read about political economy and the history of Lagos with an open mind.
Cheers.

All U have written please support it with reputable sources. If you can't then I have no time for U.

deomelo:
You mean all your illiterate, ignorant and unintelligent points?

Why are U now insulting me now. Make ur points quoting reputable sources & I will reply. But the way U are just angry & throwing insult anyhow I don't understand o. I have nothing to say. Don't have time to throw insults, sorry.

laudate:
It is okay. Thanks for letting everyone here realise that the name you were given at birth was 'beef and kpomo.' Well done. Clap for yahself!

Lol... I have nothing to say to U, I'm sorry.

deomelo:
When your type have nothing sane and intelligent to contribute, you enter gutter and start spewing gutter rubbish.


With your ignorance and basement intelligence, you are indeed an embarrassment to the people of SS.

I have made all my points & have nothing else to say to U.

deomelo:
1960 to 1967 = 7 years.


So, the FG that was confined to Lagos Island developed Lagos in less than 7 years?

Did the FG also crossed into the the SW region in the mainland and established the industrial estates responsible for Lagos's strong economy and still represent Nigerians industrial strength from Apapa to matori, ilupeju, mushin and ikeja industrial estates all in less than 7 years?

Did the FG also crossed into the SW starting from Lagos mainland to establish Oodua investment groups and built Airport hotel, Webaboard aka Wema Bank and so on or


I'll ignore the rest of your ignorant wiki rubbish because as usual, you ipobs formulate your unintelligent rubbish from under your shoes.

Lol... Go wak shiit my guy. I'm from South South.

CROWNWEALTH019:
It has happened

I call on my south south and south east brethren to please stay out of this war that is about to happen between two love birds


Watch as they slay out sophisticated people

Ok let's watch... Lol...

Hello, oil taxes do NOT go to Lagos state. They go to the federal govt. Please go and check! And why are you fixated on Otedola? What about Dr. Ambrose Bryant Chukwueloka Ojiako of Seplat Petroleum, or Nkechi Obi of Techno Oil, or Ernest Azudialu Obiejesi of Neconde Energy, or Lulu Briggs of Moni Pulo, where do they make their money from? Do you think they would not be in the same boat as Otedola, if anything happened to the oil pipelines?

Get away from here. U don't even know what we are talking about sef. Beef they talk Kpomo say im get opinion.

oyatz:
No city/ Statedevelop because of one single reason and development is not static, it is very dynamic... That's why a fishing village of Dubai in 1960 can be a World class city in 2017.
Lagos' development is due to a complex interraction of the forces of its GEOGRAHY, lts people &leaders and Political fortune.

Why was Lagos made the Capital of Nigeria upon almagamation in 1914, why not Onitsha, Port Harcourt, Benin city, Warri or Ilorin?..


Aug 6,1861: Lagos treaty of cession signed between the British Government and Oba Dosunmu of Lagos, so Lagos already had British administration between 1861- 1914 (53 years) and was more developed than the rest of Nigeria.



Before 1914, Lagos had street lights, drainage systems, telephone, electricity, postal services, hospitals, schools, churches & mosques, shops and a fairly educated populace .

Get education, read widely, be an informed mind...its in your best interest.

Cheers.

You just said it, you fell into my trap. As U said,

oyatz:
Lagos' development is due to a complex interaction of the forces of its geography, its people & leaders and Political fortune.

And who were the leaders?

U answered it urself

oyatz:

The British (NOT YORUBAS) made Lagos so fine that it became the capital of Nigeria. From the moment it became the capital of modern Nigerian it started enjoying oil money.

deomelo:
1. The FG picked Lagos state as the FC because Lagos was already developed before Nigeria as a country and independence.

2. Lagos as the FC was limited to Lagos island and the mainland was Western Region

3. Industries developed Lagos before oil and before independence.

4. The industries were and are still today on the mainland

5. The industrial estates that made Lagos state and responsible for overall Nigerian industrial capacity were build by the Western Region government led by Awolowo from Apapa industrial estate to Matori, Mushin, Ilupeju and Ikeja industrial estates and hey were all built with cocoa and rubber money, not oil money.

6. Oil money did not build the 1st skyscraper, 1st TV station, 1st stadia in Nigeria, cocoa and rubber money did.

7. The FG left Lagos decades ago and you people are still talking about a FC when in fact Lagos state have moved forward since, they've had many governors with vision, they built many many times more than the ordinary bridge, seaport or airport you people cry about all the time.

8. Fashola alone built more infrastructures in Lagos state than what the FG built in the whole of Nigeria within the same period.

9. While you and your leaders in the SE and the FDG cry and fight over 2nd NB for 30 years, Fashola built the best bridge in Nigeria aka Lekki Ikoyi bridge in less than 3 years.

10. What was the economy in Lagos like when the FG was in Lagos for just a few years compared to today?

11. Within Fashola's 8 years alone, the IGR grew from measly N500 million to N23 billion/month, double more than what many states in Nigeria generate in a year.



12. The leadership, vision and foresight in the SW before independence and after till today are the reason why Lagos state is what it is today, the good and capable leadership you don't have in the SE. Your leaders in the SE can not even collectively build common 2nd NB after 30 years of begging, but Fashola alone built many bridges while your leaders are siting on their hands, begging and crying and moaning marginalization.

13. What were your village leaders doing when Fashola lobbied Dangote to invest $15 billion refinery in Lagos? No, you were abusing, insulting Fashola and shouting corruption, but Fashola and lagosians are getting the last laugh while you keep crying, begging, abusing and insulting other people.

1) According to Wikipedia, the British influence (NOT TINUBU'S INFLUENCE) in Lagos began on 6 August 1861 under the threat of force by Commander Beddingfield of HMS Prometheus who was accompanied by the Acting British Consul, William McCoskry .

2) According to Wikipedia, The High Commissioner / Governor was Sir Frederick John Dealtry Lugard, between 1914–1919 and in 1948–1954 the commissioner was Sir John Stuart Macpherson (NOT AWOLOWO OR ANY OTHER YORUBA MAN)

3) According to Wikipedia, Lagos became the capital of Nigeria since its amalgamation in 1914 moved to Abuja in 1991 (HOW MANY YEARS IS THAT).


4) Wikipedia explains that Lagos was governed directly by the Federal Government from 1960 through the Lagos City Council until the creation of Lagos State in 1967.

5) And finally, according to Wikipedia, oil was first discovered in Oloibiri, Bayelsa on Sunday 15 January 1956 by Shell Darcy. So between 1960 to 1967 when the Federal Government governed Lagos, the city was enjoying Bayelsa oil money.

Only Nnamdi Kanu they give government headache. I love that guy

oyatz:
Well, its not my fault that those who drop out from SS-1 to become apprentice to spare parts traders at Ladipo market can't understand economics
1) I am not a tribal bigot but it may interest you to know that
(a) Free education in Nigeria started in Ibadan in 1955
b) Free Maternal and child health services started in Ibadan in 1955

c) First television station in Africa, Western Nigeria Television, WNTV, Ibadan in 1959

d) First housing estate in Nigeria, Bodija estate, Ibadan in 1956

e)First modern stadium in Nigeria, Liberty stadium,Ibadan in 1960

f) First Sky scrapper in Sub Saharan Africa, Cocoa house, Ibadan in 1964.

g) Odua textiles was built in Ado-Ekiti in the 1950s before any textile factory in Lagos

2) Lagos is NOT Ekiti/Ibadan and Ibadan or Ekiti can NOT be Lagos... Every town/State is unique.

3) Akwa-Ibom, Rivers and Delta States receive greater federal allocation than Lagos.

4) Your understanding of development and oil economy is grossly limited.
5) Get education sir, its never too late

Where did U come from? U just keep beating around D bush.


Prove that Lagos state did not get its first development from being the capital of Nigeria. I said Lagos got its development from being the capital of Nigeria. If U can't prove me wrong & U write one long reply that doesn't answer my question then U are goat. If don't reply me at all then U agree with me.

The APC government just make me weak. Buhari disappointed me.

oyatz:
The problems with people like you is that, you get high with a dangerous blend of politics, tribalism, ignorance and pseudo-economics.
Politics and tribalism (sustained on ignorance) mix well but but not with economics.
1) The oil companies HQs are not even in Nigeria to start with.
2) If Nigeria divides to whatever number, the oil in the Niger delta will still have to be drilled, explored and exported by those who have the capital, technical experience and managerial capacities, not necessarily Ijaw,Itshekiri, Ogoni or Ikwerre tribal chiefs or militants... This is the reason why we still depend on multinational oil companies to extract the oil in Nigeria.

3)Oil companies don't have to be in only countries that have crude oil
Are you aware there are many crude oil refineries in India and Singapore with out one litre of crude oil?
Oil refineries are like cassava processing mills, they can be located anywhere in as much as the owners can get cassava from any markets to process... Oil refineries can purchase crude oil from international market ,refine it and sell the products anywhere they like, it doesn't have to involve Niger Delta.
4) Otedola deals with downstream sector of the oil I.e importing and distribution of petroleum products...bombing of oil pipelines will rather increase his wealth because electricity supply will drop and more people/companies will depend on (Imported) diesel to run heavy duty generators.
5) Distingeration of Nigeria will make Lagos richer than what it is now...its a topic for another day/post.
Cheers

Chai, U just make me weak.... I will tell U something here, Lagos is what it is today because of one major reason. It was one time D capital of Nigeria. Just like Abuja is just fine & developed with oil money that same way Lagos was developed with oil money. If U think I'm wrong tell your people to make Ibadan, and Ekiti the next Lagos.

oyatz:
So, why not attract oil companies to your State or encourage your people to invest in their States?
Capt Iheanacho is building an oil refinery in Lagos, Cosmos Maduka's Coscharis and Infanyi Ubah's Capital oil have tank farms in Lagos , why can't you force /order them to relocate to Onitsha, Okigwe or Nnewi?instead of shouting oil companies should relocate their HQs to some States or complaining that Lagos has snatched your cake?

1. I'm not Igbo by tribe.

2. I don't believe relocating HQs will make Niger Delta any better because D Niger Deltans used their own hands to push these companies out by bombing & kidnapping D expatriate workers.

3. Lagos state is what it is today because they have always had good leaders, that use their allocation to build D region.

Now answer my questions. If Nigeria did not have oil will these oil companies be existing? If they divide Nigeria today will all those HQs not return to Niger Delta? Will the Lagos state be able to enjoy the oil tax from the oil companies? If Niger Deltans start blowing up oil pipeline will Otedola not feel it financially? If Nigeria is divided today will those Nigerians & government official that have oil blocks still have it?

I will say this again, directly or indirectly, every region has gained and will continue to gain from the Niger Delta oil.

mostHandsome01:
its funny how people accuse people of doing illegal business when they just cant take out time to search about what they do.

Hes cargo shipping business
Hes oil and gas business
and he real estate company, how can these businesses be called illegal .

Who gave him the initial capital to start all these businesses you listed here. You know that back in 2009 he said he had nothing, so where did all this moneys he used in building his "business empire" come from. Guy, we we know D initial capital na drugs.

modsfucker:
What does he do in the expansive office

Manages his drug cartel. In Nigeria, running a drug business is very easy & fast, compared to other counties like US, Colombia, Mexico etc.

oyatz:
Its not a crime to have wealth from oil.

Where did U hide ur brain. Did I say it's a crime to run an oil business? What I'm saying is that, the tax an oil company will pay in Nigeria is more than what a transport or entertainment or any other industry will pay the government.

oyatz:
Where did Infanyi Ubah makes his wealth? What of Capt Iheanacho?

You missed my point. What I'm saying is dat all regions have gained directly or indirectly from D Niger Delta oil. Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw, Edo, Tiv and the rest have gained from it. Hope U get my point.

laudate:
We all know that the HRMs in this part of the world, are particularly lazy people who cannot think outside the box. Many of them can't spot good talent anyway, so why bother?

It's everywhere in D world. CVs are meant to be short and straight to D point.

Paperwhite:
Must every proponent of the APP government be always be daft.Go to Niger & Kwara states to know what Christian students are passing as regards this issue.What have sycophants of the catastrophic "Sai Baba" done about the senseless killings of Christians in this evil regime? So his concern is for Christians to study the satanic arabic language.Thunder fire you there.Fool.

Don't worry about Buhari, remember he is still sick. He should continue & he will see how he will end up.

dataking:
Some christians are radicals and myopic. Whats wrong with arabic being taught in schools. Its the most widely spoken language in all of africa. No language comes close. Yet, all you can see and say is what your pastors throw into your dull skulls. What of english that has been taught for ages since the time of the missionaries. Did muslims cry foul. I studied french in secondary school. Did it turn me into a french man. Rubbish. So many illiterates that are boko haram in their thought process.

This is not D change Nigerians voted for. Buhari is just a failure along with his useless friend Osinbanjo.

babyfaceafrica:
do you have prove that some people were actually flogged for refusing to take Arabic,or it is just a sentimental gesture to wipe up sentiments.. I actually went to a public school and I repeat no one was beaten for refusing to take a subject... You will simply fail and have zero!!!!!..like as said earlier Arabic is as useless as the p in psychology

Oga use ur brain to think & not ur anus. It makes no sense. Simple.

oyatz:
Please sir, get education.

1) Oil is a commodity of trade just like steel, timber, cotton, diamond, limestone etc.
2) Many people investment in the oil &gas industries and its never a crime to do so...you you invest be it in transportation (like ABC transpot), Trading (Like ChukwuNonso &Sons) or oil (Like Ondo), you do so to reap profit.
3) Foreigners (ExxonMobil, Chevron, Elf,Total and Agip) still dominate the Nigerian oil industries and you don't complain but you want to convulse because fellow Nigerians are investing in MARGINAL oil businesses.
4) Stop listening to Radio Biafra ,get useful to yourself and your generation... Start your own oil company.
I wish you good luck!

After your long reply U missed my point. Here is my point, his wealth still comes from oil. Like it or not.

hunniebun:
and here people cannot even write ordinary CV even half page,here's someone who wrote 22-23pages.

congrats to her..cheers!

she looks younger than her age(44)
pretty lady!

all these people saying that she should go and marry,is it your business?

The CV will be read by a human who has like 1000 CVs to go through. Seriously, some HRMs will fling that CV through D window.

xynerise:
In Naija, the more the number of pages your CV has, the less likely you may get the job.

Actually it's everywhere in D world. 'The more the number of pages your CV has, the less likely you may get the job'.
