SIR, APPRECIATE YOU FOR WHAT.DO YOU APPRECIATE AMERICANS AND ENGLISH PEOPLE,ARE YOU PEOPLE GIVING LAND FOR FREE, PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING TO GET THEIR DAILY BREAD AND YOU ARE HERE ASKING FOR APPRECIATION

The appreciation that i am talking about is to make less noise and stop speaking ill of sw.

DispatcherLagos:
the problem with you is taking the bashings and trolling that happen on nairaland outside it. Come to my area in Lagos, no one differentiates indigenes from none indigenes because of the level of cooperation and cordial relationship existing between them. None indigenes can never rejoice over bad omen that befall any part of South West because they too will indirectly benefit from it. Talking about "application" what other way should the visitors appreciate you than paying their taxes, rent and performing their civil duties legitimately. You don't expect them to wake up every morning and come and prostrate at your doorstep, come on you don't feed them. There are a thousand and one Yorubas living outside Yoruba land though within Nigeria, do they show this level of appreciation that you crave to their hosts?

In real life, people often hide emotions to protect their relationships. Those smiling face are fake. NL is a faceless forum, people actually reveal who they are. Yorubas outside SW don't over-do the way some people from a particular region normally do. We respect our host and do our business without noise. We don't drag and abuse the host , we don't tell the host we developed their regions . That's very disrespectful...

DispatcherLagos:
the relationship between the visitors and the visited is a mutual one as the both parties benefits from each other. You are right, no one goes to a dry land, after all we are all seeking greener pastures. On the other hand, no one accommodates a parasite. The subject of your post clearly shows you're uncomfortable with the "running to South West" even though the body of your post doesn't stress your intention

Then the host should be appreciated. Some people who make money from SW are always happy whenever bad things happen to the region and feel sad when a good thing happen to it. The Host voluntarily left some business to outsiders, it's not that they aren't good at it. The Host are the major buyer.

Lopsided federalism and coveting Niger Delta oil industry wealth

SE no dey chop from the Niger delta Oil? Can SE survive without federal Allocation?

DispatcherLagos:
you sound very myopic, go to Borno, you will still find none indigenes there even at its security challenge, no state in Nigeria that doesn't have a good number of visitors residing in it, although states like Lagos, Abuja(I must include it), Rivers have the highest number of visitors due to some factors especially economic factors. I don't see any point in overemphasizing the visitors that comes to the south west which of course favours you more than the visitors. Go to Aba, Enugu and Onitsha and see the number of none Igbos living and doing their legitimate businesses there, it doesn't call for any noise making by the Igbos. Same applies to the north and south but never for once have any region make noise about visitors in their region except of course the Yorubas. Now my advice to you is " if you are not comfortable with the visitors, stop buying/selling to them, stop selling/renting houses to them. In fact stop communicating with them" instead of this constant noise making

It favours the visitors more, if not you won't find them there. You don't go to where there's no money. Point out where i stated it in my post the sw is not comfortable with the migration? You are feeling attacked.

DispatcherLagos:
Clap for self. I hope you know the difference between Lagos and south west?

Lagos is located in SE?

Do you know how many people from other regions in Oyo and ogun state alone?

UI, Covenant university, OAU and co. are located where? In Lagos? UCH is located in Lagos?

Escaping a troubled region: SW is the most preferred destination for individuals who have to flee from  troubled region to escape danger and terrible  conditions.

Better living conditions: The Land of the Free is home to culture, entertainment, technology, nightlife, and much more.

Better education: A multitude of the most prestigious educational institutions in Nigeria is maintained in the SW. It is the dream of many ambitious men and women to graduate from one of  top universities and colleges located in SW.

More work opportunities: The largest and most active economy in Nigeria offers an extensive range of career opportunities. Therefore, it is still the right place to pursue the dream of professional growth.

Yoruba way of life: SW is still the number one destination for people who are looking to fulfill their dreams. Freedom, democracy, leading a self-determined life, becoming the one that you desire to be – all of that is possible in SW.





South west is the USA of Nigeria. 
Dream region for millions.

Why is Fashola not in the picture?
Fashola over Osibanjo anytime.

Even if all the occupants of makoko are Yorubas, i will still support total demolition...

Entprys:
Dem don kom again o. What is wrong with these Ibo boys ?
Dey always wish hors demolishon

I am not Igbo. Slums should be demolished. They have a negative effect on natural ecosystems, slums harbour criminals. Dem no dey develop city with pity. If we continue to pity and not taking strict laws and actions, then we aren't ready for development.

The most extreme settlement in Nigeria is the Makoko slum. Makoko is an environmental eyesore, environmental nuisance, security risk and toxic pollutants of water. The LASG should demolish makoko and relocate the occupants to another place..

Edibles20:
This is why Nigeria will never finish repaying the loan.
You’re giving free rides at peak period when you’re supposed to use it to gather the funds needed for the repayment of the loans.
You’re giving free rides on something that isn’t even yours yet.

Nigerians can never be pleased. Nawa o

TheRollingStone:
Oga no dey talk wetin you no know, those syringes contains brake fluid sold to keke riders, not drugs.

Thank you.

Furious1:
Na soft drugs na. I'm not saying they should stop o, make them continue as na soft drugs

Brake fluid for keke riders.

Furious1:
Oga even New York get slum. Read my post again, I said largest. Nobody is concerned about a slum the size of Agip flow station, na large scale dey sweet pass
And nobody says he won't show bad areas but e sure me say nobody dey hawk syringe for street and and he's going to mention that the Ppl are agitating for an independent state. Anyhow e goes you must see good reason

Lol. Do you think does syringe are Hard drugs?

IGBOSON1:
The south-east doesn’t have slums to the extent you see them in some other major cities in Nigeria. The major problem of cities in the south-east is internal roads!

Okay. But I've been to the East before.

Furious1:
The man dey show the world the largest slums in Nigeria. Na for SW and north them dey. South east will probably be about something else. Maybe culture, it's always about the culture and markets
and SS maybe about Oil pollution and soots

I won't argue with you. There's no slum in the east right? No culture and market in North and west? E go go east and call it the most dangerous place to be your eyes will clear. Double standard dey worry. Oyinbo people that doesn't like showing the good side of Africa.

Furious1:
Kano state is actually worse than that, the Oyibo man didn't cover anything. Like 50% of Kano is slum, 30% is wasteland and desert only 20% is reasonable and that's the part the Igbos and other southers reside.
Very wrong place, na only food good to buy there and maybe election results

That's how you guys lie. How many Igbos stays in Nassarawa GRA and bompai GRA? Those are the best part of kano. Igbos stay in Sabon gari which is Fagge local government. Jabba and paniso is not the whole of kano. Give credit to the Hausa people, Southerners might be dominating some sectors there, but you didn't help them develop their city...

Don't forget to post the link here when he visit South East.

Cause you've been doing so when he visited Lagos and Ibadan. You think he will show the good part of the East when he get there?

babasolution:
It will never be yorubaland, Lagos is economic capital of your beloved Nigeria. Left for Yorubas only Lagos will be just as archaic as ibadan

O.k.. Lagos is igboland. Igbos own everything in Lagos.

ariesbull:
says who... Is this what your Lagos Ibadan expressway media house told you....


LoL

You said Yorubas are not in charge of Lagos economy and I'm telling you those in charge. You said it yourself.

Tranquillity360:
But we yoruba are afraid of self rule because we can't rule ourselves in peace.






We will just start killing ourselves again.

Says who?

JaroMan:
Then north central is the face of Nigeria because the world know Abuja as capital of Nigeria.

Many foreigners don't know Abuja, all they know is Lagos. Abuja is not popular than Lagos.

ariesbull:
Lagos this and that... Most of the economic players in Lagos are non yoruba... Wait till Christmas tone and know who Controls Lagos economy. When they travel and rest the lagos economy would ground


Show us Oyo, Ogun, Osun and Ondo..


Braggards

Yes. South Easterners controls 99% of Lagos economy. They also own 99.9% of Lagos properties including Lekki- Ikoyi bridge.

yorubakid:
Afonjaa and empty chest beating
You mean Lagos cause what Lagos is today once the country divides, Lagos will return back becoming a typical yoruba underdeveloped village.. yorubas with fulanis are ones enjoying one naijeria cause of what Lagos and Abuja is gaining from it.They are scared to let it divide and become another poor Benin and Togo republic

Even if Lagos didn't take part in any Economic activities for 10yrs, it will take 100yrs for other state in other region to meet up. Let the country split, let's see what others can offer

ariesbull:
My Yoruba friend you are right... None can stand with South West in terms of these

SE is worst. Anambra is the only promising state in SE.

JaroMan:
Please Lagos, not South West. Please be guided.
Thank you

Is Lagos located in NE?

Remove Lagos and the GDP and IGR is still way higher than other region except South- South.

ariesbull:
LoL... Skull miners IGR that can't fund their budget and terrible infrastructure... Very teriibke roads
.
....ogun where some villages bath once in 10 days

Which region can stand South West in Nigeria?

ariesbull:
Nobody go even respond to this useless post until you present ondo, Ogun skull Centre, Oyo mining industry and others in SW

Ogun state is the most industrialised state in Nigeria

Oyo State is also well represented, it has many industries. Local and multinationals

Ondo is not doing bad also.

babasolution:
Until Ibadan can be a standardize African city,even by Nigerian standard,until Ibadan can just be like portharcourt, the southwest is nothing,Lagos is not the southwest Lagos is a special region

Ibadan is a very big city. You can't expect it not to have an opposite side. But i can say it anywhere, the developed part of Ibadan is way larger than the old side you all see when travelling to Lagos. Ibadan is a very beautiful city.

Funny! Lagos is not SW but a special region? Lol. Lagos is SW and can never be removed from SW.

Southwest is the homeland and cultural region of the Yoruba people in Nigeria. SW has an estimated GDP of about N67 trillion naira( about $305 billion US dollars), more than half of the GDP of the nation. By  estimates, the Southwest region was the third largest economy in the continent of Africa in 2014! This must be a shock or a pleasant surprise to many people!


Highlights

SW is the gateway to Nigeria

High human resources, Natural resources  capital formation and technology.

Tourist attraction (Most visited region by foreigners and locals )
