what about when there is no power ?

or the intruders decide to be smart and break the fence

or they use the same cable cutters you used during installation to cut the cables

or they decide to follow the one of the tenants as he drives in

only God offers protection

peace

What protection has god offered when people have been slaughtered in churches the world over?

evexx1:
Stop spilling ignorance. Kano state and Cross river state have similar igrs.

That doesn't help your argument. The point is that Cross River has a population less than half of Kano's but has a bigger IGR.

But last time I checked Cross River had a higher IGR than Kano.

nwabobo:
And what is their IGR?

I believe it's less than Cross River's which has a population of less than half that of Kano's.

Business driven indeed...

DrDeji20:
they came to discuss about business possibilities in Kano . I have to give it to Kano, they are pure commercial and business driven.

Is that why they have useless religious police? Because they are 'business driven'? Where is the business benefit for all the money that they waste on state sponsored pilgrimages?

Surely if they were so business driven they would be looking to keep that money in the state and attract more instead of squandering it in the Arabian desert?

Billyonaire:
Where is your humanity ?

Where is theirs?

If you pay millions for a house should you be forced to live next door to people who think it's okay to set up a crude market stand by your home? Or have their friends loiter by your property?

oduastates:
About time.
Give it a few hours. The purveyors of poverty, the useless professional hacktivist without a day job like Adeniran and Odumakin,will be all over TV and the pages of newspapers talking rubbish.
The biggest favour lagos can do to Nigeria is to discourage the idea of rural -lagos migration.

It's not all rural to Lagos migration you also have people fleeing poverty and insecurity in northern cities to come and push wheel barrows and illegally drive okada in Lagos - where do you think those people lay their heads at night.

Let them all return home and hold their disgraceful leaders to account instead of cluttering the streets of Lagos.

Billyonaire:
Do you know the plots of land in question ? Because I know the plot very well, and there are no thieves there except the down and out. These are the same people that were chased away from Kuramo when work started on the Eko Atlantic Projects, so every plot they moved to, is always developed and they get chased out. So, why not let them be ? No one is saying there are no thieves, after all the politicians are also thieves but I am saying, allow them stay until the owners of the plots develops the plots. if there are thieves, then arrest them and allow the innocent ones. I do not know why poor is synonymous to theft in your local dictionaries here.

Why should they stay on land that is not theirs? This is how slums are allowed to grow and you end up with Makoko and other places that are an eye sore as well as a health and safety hazard.

Instead of allowing a problem to fester it is wise to deal with it as soon as possible. You wouldn't allow cancer to settle and grow, slums are the same. They should be eradicated at first sight.

You know those people are savages so why do you keep going there?

I'm tired of watching people jump into the lion's den and then cry about being attacked.

Someone else set deadlines for himself and couldn't meet any of them, I don't recall his name...

This man will say that he didn't utter these words when a month from now the work is incomplete.

Billyonaire:
I dont know who owns the large expanse of land behind that fence, police has been burning shanties every 6 months and they keep rebuilding. Government needs to allow them be until the owners develop the plots.

In the meantime government should allow a potential den of thieves to grow is what you are saying?

AngelicBeing:
ln as much as l dont like shanties with all the risk it carries, why not provide alternatives or some kind of succor to the masses that are already on the floor groaning under severe hardship like paying rent for those rendered homeless in different part of the city to ameliorate / cushion their pains, it is easy to type & praise the government for pulling down illegal structures , how about those with families , children, elderly caught in the cross fire, who will be rendered homeless and exposed to further dangers and this is where a responsible / caring / emphatic government comes in which we lack in both the Federal & state levels,

Did anyone force them to move there?

Did anyone in government tell them to go set up camp there?

yarimo:
Abubakar sani bello of niger state. El rufai of kaduna state. GANDUJE of kano state. AMBODE of lagos state.

Lol. Kaduna is unstable, the governor is paying Fulani criminals to stop (or maybe continue) their attacks and yet you name him one of the best?

What has Ganduje done in Kano state that you think he is one of the best? Has he reduced the humongous poverty rate that persists there? What about the illiteracy rate? As for Niger...

Travel around the country and then return to Kano/Kaduna/Niger you will see that you have been forced to accept sub-par government.

Keneking:
Useless government of Lagos would not see this

Who is useless here - the government upgrading infrastructure or the people who occupy land that they do not own or have a right to live on that cry when they are told to stop trespassing?

When you're stuck in Lagos traffic because some agbero doesn't want to move I hope you remember your comment.

These people can't even do it inside but rather do it outside where they can be viewed.

ademilan:
Bro, that's because they've not packaged it well. Let them start from organizing, d foundation matters. It takes years to get there buh let them start first. Ppl can afford to go to d cinemas nd pay 1k, comedy shows with table for 1million. Some sell der regular seats for 5/10k. Am sure football has more fans than comedy shows. If we package am well, e go work

You speak sense and from what I'm reading and seeing they are starting to do that.

The LMC has encouraged the teams to list themselves on the stock exchange in order to raise capital and invest in infrastructure.

If they can market themselves in the way that the churches in Nigeria do they will eventually become big and self-sustaining.

This is the kind of conversation you should have in private not on social media.

Unak78:
My point is more about perception than anything. These places are developed but not to massive scales. They don't link up with anywhere else in a major way as well. They're maybe a decade away from becoming true regional hubs that are can't-miss investor destinations. For them to be that, they have to have money not only in their own sector, but industrial output that spills over into other regions of the country. That is what is being built in some areas, but they weren't originally big cities to begin with. The work that's being done in Uyo is commendable, but had that type of vision been applied to what already exists in, say, Port Harcourt, then that city would be one of Nigeria's 3 prime investor destinations and would push Lagos financially for superiority.

I agree with many of the comments calling for federalism. I think that economics work best on a micro scale. I would even take it further and call for local municipalities to be set up into a functioning local governmental entity. For most foreigners reading about Fashola and Lagos, many would have thought of him as the mayor of the city of Lagos rather than the governor of Lagos state. It puts an additional strain on manpower focus to ask governors, even without judging their individual intent or ability, to also focus on what should be the job of a functioning municipal government with it's own police force, sanitation, and health services. But creating a third level of government in Naija could also lead to a third tier of government in which funds can disappear. But at least at this level, the focus on the actions of government can be more closely watched. In most nations, it is very easy to attend a city council meeting or involve oneself directly in the manner that your city decides on projects. But at the state/provincial level it is harder and nearly impossible at the national level. Nigeria's lack of municipal accountability hurts the country imo. Federalism is a good start, but setting up municipal oversight is the next step. This is the reason that many of these privately funded city projects want absolute control. Because, while they also stand to profit, they also know that they can govern a city of any size much better than a state government anywhere can. That should not be their job even if they were perfectly competent and honest.

Edit: I seem to be quoted a number of times, but where did my original post go?

Your point has nothing to do with the OP's post which is what I was talking about.

You made a claim about Lagos that wasn't substantiated by the OP's post.

RevolverOcelot:
I said LIKE Barclay's you troll.

You thought that they would launch a league without sponsors?

RevolverOcelot:
Nigerian clubs need a proper League with sponsors like Barclay's.

The league has sponsors.

Why did you mention Barclays when they don't operate in Nigeria as a consumer bank?

Is it because you watch the EPL and have no imagination?

Why do you give that church so much power over you and your happiness?

You are right, your child is innocent and pure, it is the church that is not.

What business does he have to have earned such money?

How can Nigeria be more dangerous than Libya, Chad or Burundi? Those are all cities that have seen large scale violence in their capitals in recent years/months.

Stupid list from stupid people.

vicardino:
U haven't said a single meaningful thing with respect to my post. If you believe there are no marine spirits, just open your arms wide and welcome them once they are being cast out of their hosts. U won't jump like baboons alone but also like cricket. Meanwhile, my first reply was for those arguing the existence of marine spirits. Cheers.

Do you ever ask yourself why it is the most impoverished, most disturbed people who believe in all this nonsense?

Why do you believe things for which there is no evidence? Do a google search for spirits and see what comes up, find out why the only people who see or feel them are the emotionally traumatized.

I'd never heard of a marine spirit or a spirit spouse until I came to this message board and encountered the numerous touts who post here.

vicardino:
I think the problem with humanity is that most humans don't even know that they are spiritual beings. A man is a tripartite being which could be defined to be "A spirit, having a soul and living in a body". With a man's spirit, we connect with happenings in the spirit world and this is the basic of man's existence. I seriously get disturbed when man tries to explain things of the spirit logically. You need not believe or argue, there's a test which i'd beseech those condemning or claiming the nonexistence of the spirits, marine spirits in this case to carry out.

Just open ur heart and body alone at home and speak out for marine spirits to fill u cos u don't believe they exist and u need proof. A man should call out for "spirit wife" and a woman should call out for "spirit husband". Do this and u will have your proof whether they exist or not.


Secondly, u can go on an excursion to MFM prayer city or any deliverance ministry during deliverance sessions, just sit and once they are casting spirits out, just be responding by saying "Enter into me, i'm available"' I'm sure you'll have your proof.

If you ain't doing any of these, then don't claim what u have no proof of.

I've sat through an MFM service, all they do is jump up and down like baboons; shout about fire burning this one or that one; and believe whatever illogical tale their pastor gives them that week.

ExInferis:
Don't let these deluded people convince you fairies exist.

You can believe in god without believing the delusions of disordered minds.

You don't hide behind the god myth if you are a rational human being.

Opening the door to one baseless myth elevates the rest of them to the same unfortunate platform.

There are no 'marine spirits' you ignorant fools.

5. INDONESIAN RUPIAH


Unexpected on ourlist of top 10 lowest
currency in the world. Simply put, Indonesia is economically stable and developed country in South East Asia, though the currency has a low exchange rate, despite all effort to make it strong by the economic team of the country. A USD is worth 13,425 Indonesian Rupiah.

Indonesia is not an economically stable nation nor is it developed.

OP is talking rubbish.

Shameless.

decatalyst:
This people are fascinated by our very rich culture and traditions.

They love straffing our busty and gargantuan booty too...no wonder their girl started going for surgeries to increase every of their dept

They're not. Most have no idea who you are, nor do they care.

It is you people who are obsessed with being recognized like children pandering for attention.

Everyday on this message board 'oyinbo did this', 'oyinbo did that'. Pathetic.

ojimbo:
Very arrogant people. One day Africa will rise again and we must pay them back what ever they did to us

They shouldn't be playing games in Europe, it's stupid.

They can only do this to Africans because Africans seem intent on doing things that do not work in their best long term interests.

First of which is hiring foreign coaches. They double down on their stupidity by playing home games in England.

Burkina Faso and Senegal are fellow ECOWAS nations, they would have no problem gaining entry to Nigeria.

Lagos is not their daddy's mate. Ogun is not their mummy's mate. At the moment, these 2 states are like the only states where things are really happening. No wonder they are the only states that have been able to generate more than their FA. Are y'all surprised they are both SW states? Opolo ni, no be muscle.

Can't wait for Oyo to join the mix and the other three SW states. A seaport in Ondo will definitely open up the other SW states.

Meanwhile awa pipu from that side are busy developing all South-Asian countries, signing fake MOUs and blaming Yorubas for poo not coming out of their ......

In Madam Faka's voice, I can only tell them to "kontinew" Alabiabia will build their region for them

Why are you talking about Igbos when it is the northerners killing themselves in the name of religion?

And attacking Yorubas in Ile-Ife.

And stealing food meant for IDPs.

And a northerner that is once again destroying the Nigerian economy?

IpobExposed:
Baba always good at flushing terrorist groups. Be it Boko Haram or IPOB. If u quote me how IPOB is a terrorist group see them burning a police station below.

We are not hearing the voice of militants what of shiites?


If you want to terrorize wait for clueless GEJ to come 2019 because we the APC members have said No to terrorism


APC Change
Sai Baba

Do you know what a terrorist organization is?

How can you call IPOB terrorists when they aren't killing people or threatening people with violence?
