The bars and restaurants aren't the problem, it's the mosques and churches.

They disturb you at 6 in the morning and then they disturb you again in the evening.

fuckbulhary:
Yet some zombies who haven't left the shores of the country will be shouting Lagos this Lagos that.
Visit other countries and you will be ashamed of that so slum called Lagos.
Sad I was born a Nigerian

Apapa is not the only area in Lagos.

You claim that Buhari is fighting corruption but he is double spending on his health, firstly for the facilities in Abuja and secondly for in the forex that he squanders in London.

If he is sick let him be sick on his own time, as a private citizen.

Day169:
A huge waste of "Stolen" resources!
£2 million? (..ie more than a billion Naira ). Not befitting of a mansion, from the exterior pics. There are many more beautiful houses here in 9ja that cost much less. To think of a myriad of ways that money could've bettered the lot of Nigerians? ..a typical case of "Money miss road"!

Architecture in the UK tends not to be particularly charming or innovative, especially when it comes to homes.

Most of their houses are drab and outwardly retrogressive.

Cutehector:
This is what sensible countries do, they make use of their limited resources .. Try this in Nigeria, either the sultan or the emir or the oba or eze of that Land will disagree thereby blocking progress.. They will incite the youths to stage a protest.


Or


The Nigerian government will ask all d occupants of that place to vacate so they will demolish the building so that they can build a railway..


When will Nigeria ever mature ?

And that is why I keep stating that Nigeria does not need any of these useless traditional rulers.

What have any of them done for Nigeria's development?

All they do is leach from the people without offering anything in return.

Flexherbal:
They must be very proud of their father.

For destroying the Nigerian economy?

Or for being evasive as to his health?

No female is safe in the north.

If you are a female over the age of 13 and unmarried they think something is wrong with you.

If you are married and do not do as your husband asks he will divorce you.

beatzone:
Everyone just wanna talk... Someone presented a one-sided argument, and we so quick to condemn a project that must taken an unprecedented amount of thought processes from the best in the world.

Who amongst you has read, seen or heard about the master plan?

Answer that question before you start thinking "Yes, I knew it was a bad idea"

Bunch of ITKs

Nigerians are very quick to think the worst of themselves as a collective.

Notice all the 'when will Africans learn' comments.

Self-hatred is Nigeria's most popular creed and biggest curse.

Learn to love yourself and you will stop self-harming.

Amberon:
Exactly! There's something inherently wrong Nigeria and it's leaders. Is there nobody of vision who can bring up the initiative of decongesting Lagos by carrying out meaningful projects in other states?

Calabar > Lagos.

A lot of meaningful projects have been built in Cross River state.

And it is more secure than Lagos.

With the way people do business online there's no reason why you need to be in Lagos 7 days a week.

Why do Nigerians call Arabs 'white'?

The world is full of useless pastors and religious leaders.

It doesn't matter if it is Nigeria, South Africa, America, Brazil or Malaysia - there will always be useless religious leaders and their ignorant flock.

Michellla:
shes cute too

See lie.

Franzinni:
I said it!!!! Unless it is not nigeria!! Poor man jump inside lagoon.... We will wait for his body to come out make we bury am inside hole for backyard.....

But a DOCTOR!!! What!!! I am surprised I didn't see helecopter patrolling the water too.... Eye service is a course we learn in the Nigerian school of life....

Is a life better than another?..... Nigeria which way?

That isn't particular to Nigeria. That's everywhere. Those with money and status are valued above those who lack both.

JustinSlayer69:
IBB and Abdulsalam are 2 ex presidents who don't like their own people.

The bad roads...irregular electricity (so-called Power State)...very scarce water. It's shocking the 2 of them are living in opulence amidst poverty.

You would be shocked at the level of development in the state. I learnt Abdulsalam got the Minna-Abuja road contract and messed it up. Am very surprised when they didn't lobby for the International Airport to be shifted to Minna temporarily.

They're still better than the people who come from Katsina.

It's "PARK" not "PACK".

You park a car.

You do not pack a car.

If the radio station is about spreading information why would he not want them to press ahead?

I keep telling people that while I can understand the demands made I do not understand the tactics and part of the problem is that Kanu is unhinged.

Kondomatic:
Nigeria don tire me walahi. I think I should just go back to my village.

Somebody stole what's meant for millions of people and gave a little fraction of it to just two people and you're here shouting impressive and blowing other grammars


Guy, behave yourself.

So long as people like you are awake and speak on the issue we can collectively shame these cretins into doing the right thing.

But we have to stop engaging with them as though they are decent human beings and treat them with the same disregard that show us when they requisition government revenue and use it as their personal kitty.

Abagworo:
Calabar, Enugu and Owerri have finer outlook than Port Harcourt but Uyo does not. Where in Uyo is fine or do you mean roads?

The roads are in important part of the aesthetic besides that consider the area around the government house which is finer than the area around its equivalent in Port Harcourt.

Also compare Uyo stadium to that in Port Harcourt.

anonimi:
........which was UNNECESSARY.
That is what we get from a vision-less federal government run by a dullard for two years.

That may be so. I'm not privy to the extent of the damage to the tarmac.

I don't understand why they had to use Kaduna instead of Minna which is closer and safer.

mrkdata:
For what

For all the people whose travel plans have been altered by the Abuja airport closure.

Sharming95:
God bless lion of Ubima.....d slayer of PEJ....d tamer of MBU....d cure 4 wiked disease....d destroyer of GEJ political career....


God bless yhu 4 dis development

He didn't do anything but lie and waste money on a monorail for which there appears to be no master plan.

What happened to the hospital that he used all those millions of dollars for?

Calabar has less money and is much finer than Port Harcourt. As well as safer.

Uyo has only just come into money, again it is much finer than Port Harcourt.

Ugosample:
In a way he was right
A colonial policy indeed was in place.
Sanusi made mention of it one time

Sanusi also said that $47 billion was missing from state coffers...

The colonial authorities did not stop them from educating their children that was their own stupid thinking.

Instead of having your child recite a book written by an Arab who was probably a schizophrenic teach them mathematics. Mathematics is universal. It wouldn't impede on their religious mythology in any way and would provide them with the foundation to be engineers. They elected not to.

Kemperor:
Well said... Totally true...but who gave the peasants that ideas..

I understand your point but just because something is given to you does not mean that need to accept it. Especially when it clearly does not work in your favor.

There are more peasants than emirs. The people of the north have shown a peculiar willingness to kill southerners and infidels for the pettiest of reasons (such as comments made about beauty contests or cartoons drawn in Denmark) why then do they refuse to force their useless leaders to feel their wrath? Why can't they use that same violence to bring about real change to their society?

Nathan2016:
This is the funniest comment here...Abeg is there any northerner that have been rejected to purchase land in south....well the man hit the nail by saying you guys need to be more enlightened....seriously.....how can you expect to grow wen all you do is stir up[ one terrorist group or another.... and saying the u guys dont want south to rule is laughable.....go and read the history and tell me how many northerners have ruled ngeria... come back and correct yourself........jonathan did more for you guys than to his own people stilll.....you just want to play the victim,,,,,i cant say we dont hate you or you dont hate us ,, becos in truth the feeling is mutual.

That aboki character is a liar.

It was Buhari who was saying it would be wrong to treat Boko Haram like the terrorists that they are.

It was the local people who emboldened and fortified Boko Haram by supplying them with food, fuel and shelter from the security forces.

LoveMachine:
Not one lie was told!

He lied that the colonial policy is the reason for a lack of education in the north.

They rejected anything that might lead people to question Islam so there were fewer mission schools established in the north. That wasn't because of the colonial powers, that was the northern elite working against the interests of the society (as per usual).

That they couldn't find a way to ensure that their people were formally educated without of their own accord is a damning indictment of the northern power structure.

Another child sold into prostitution.

I feel for her.

Why get mad at the side-chick?

It is your husband who has no willpower.

Kemperor:
95% of the Head of State in 9ja came from the North...

Still they lack in Education, infrastructure etc...

The Northern Leaders are greedy and wicked... Accumulating wealth just to be like gods in the sight of their herdsmen..

They will rather give them cows and guns than to train them in school....

That man said some "NONSENSE "...

How can 9ja be like China or the Soviet Union when some section of the country in this 21st Century still parade the streets (even commercial places) with cows and sheeps

In a civilised country, a farmer or cattle rarer whatever they are called must have a RANCH... The animal will never cross their property...

The problem of the North is their leaders...
The problem of Nigeria is the North...

Other Regions can't do a thing about it because countries like America, England, France etc are with the Northerners... The people they can control...

Nigeria is a time bomb...

The leaders are a result of the culture, therefore all who keep the culture alive are culpable. Not just the leaders but the everyday people.

Everyone from the parents who send their children to mallams to be abused and forced to beg; to the parents who sell their daughters into sexual slavery known as Islamic child marriage. If they did not have so many children to fend for the people might have more energy and inclination to hold their wicked leaders to account. Unfortunately whenever the issue of child marriage or family planning are raised it is the common people who kick against it.

And lest I remind you it was the common people who sheltered and fed Boko Haram members just as it is the common people who are stealing food from IDP camps.

freeze001:
Unfortunately he still has d lazy, socialist mentality and expects allocation from the central federal government.



What is that crap? Where will d FG draw d funds to share as allocation from? Is it not from d regions? Why should a group of people commandeer resources not theirs and redistribute by whatever sharing formula? The regions should be self reliant and then contribute to the centre an agreed percentage.

This is a very confused man.

Besides that nonsense he also said this:

"There may be aspects of it that are progressive. For instance, the call for restructuring. This is an incidental thing, and we should pursue it, but not as a result of the national conference. The confab should be dismissed because it is irrelevant. It has nothing to do with the aspirations of Nigerians, and it has nothing to do with the destiny of Nigerians."

I'm glad that he recognizes the educational imbalance but beside that he doesn't want anything introduced or acknowledged that would force him or his kin to really examine themselves.

He had a lot of negative things to say about GEJ but refused to mention the fact that it was under his administration that the Federal Government attempted to redress the balance as a result of the fecklessness of the north.

loomer:
As na bad thing she do una go dey look for her tribe.

And there's no fucking proof she's Nigerian

You think these idiots care about 'proof'?

All they want is an opportunity to talk nonsense.

doingood:
Why would u ban any religion. Every body with his or her believe

Because their beliefs are as destructive to the mind as any illicit drug.

In the same way that some societies see fit to protect their citizens from the harmful side-effects of heroin, cocaine and marijuana so too should we seek to protect the weak from the destruction caused by Islam, Christianity and the others.

EazyMoh:
You keep changing the topic, now it's about herdsmen and IDP food. Do you even know who is called an elite? Elite stealing IDP food? For real? If criminal elements put in charge distributing food iIDPs divert and mismanage it that's a different topic. Most of the aid donations are actually handled by international organizations like red cross and WFP. A few trucks may be stolen by store keepers and others in charge of the food. So how can an acclaimed elite who control the country at large steal trucks of food?
From Sokoto to Zamfara to Kaduna to Niger to Benue to FCT to Ekiti and many more there are hundreds of Fulani herdsmen who have been arrested for one crime other, buy I believe you mischievously decided to ignore that.
I never said we support PMB'S administration because he is a northerner, no! it's because of what he is achieving. If people can support and still depend GEJ'S administration they should actually be throwing parties for PMB'S. Unless of course your don't know what a country really need. Embezzling foreign exchange when crude oil was selling above $100 a barrel didn't irk you but the consequence of their lack of prudence which only happen to to manifest now you heap the blame on PMB.
Left for people like you we shall still be importing everything at the detriment of our national development, just because you want to buy rice at N8k per bag.
Lastly go check history, the north never wanted one Nigeria, and made the point on several occasions. But your leaders from the south hungry for power fame and wealth coerced and convinced the north to stay. The initial arrangement where every region governs itself was the only condition north gave in order to be part of one Nigeria.
Up till today, people like Junaid Muhammad have made it clear the north is ready for break up. Personally I believe it's the best option for everyone. But none of you is serious about breakup. They have not even taken the the right direction for break up.

You are a liar and a terrible historian.

You are the only person who thinks that Buhari has achieved anything.

It was certain governors who wanted the excess crude oil funds in their pockets - some of whom are now in GMB's government or at least his greatest supporters.

The North did not want independence but they did not want the south to become independent and for them to remain a colony so we ended up with 'Nigeria'. The British would not allow southern Nigerian to become independent when asked in the 1930s and 1940s. Even today the North is not ready to be independent.

Anything that is progressive, such as a real census, fiscal federalism, an age limit to marriage, family planning is kicked against by northern elements.

I am glad that you can see that the best option is to break up. No one needs an albatross around their neck when trying to run forward.
