SmartyPants:
I asked you a simple question, which if you had conducted your research honorably should have been quite easy for you to provide. It's not about winning the argument. If you can provide the data, i will accept your claim, since i have no vested interest in either set of figures being correct or wrong. Do you have a vested interest in the matter? If no, why are you being defensive?

Lol.

The way you argue I can tell that you are very smart so arguing with you will be easy.

I was born and bred in Lagos and stayed there before I moved abroad so I have no reason to be critical of Lagos in a fair argument.

The original poster compared Lagos to some towns in Nigeria. He did not indicate if it was Lagos State, Lagos City, Lagos Island or Lagos Mainland.

He quoted a website that clearly is not an authoritative source of Nigerian census figures. I quoted the website of the National Population Commission.

If you chose to believe his website is more authentic than the National Population Commissions website then fine.

SmartyPants:
For what year is this?

Lol. So the original posters post is from a more recent census in Nigeria? You feel his website is more authentic than the website of NPC? If yes, then I rest my case. But I know that you know better.

SmartyPants:
If you assert that he got his details wrong, then you must prove that by posting the correct ones. Otherwise what is the basis of your assertion that he is wrong?? Mere gut feeling? He has provided a source, where is your own evidence?

Ok. Is his source more credible than the website of the National Population Commission?

One needs to wonder what criteria is used to make a story to appear on the Front Page of Nairaland. Authenticity cannot be a criteria

RockHard:
Well, as far as I am concerned, anywhere that has a population of 500,000 and above is qualified to be considered a city. The city (or Oyo town as some prefer to call it) is host to a lot of hotels and resorts, private businesses, and educational institutions including Federal College of Education (Special), Emmanuel Alayande College of Education, a private owned university by the Anglican Communion of Nigeria, Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo (ACU), and Federal University of Surveying.

As far as you are concerned?

SmartyPants:
That is the population of Lagos city my friend.

So what is the population of Lagos State? And what really constitute Lagos City? is it just Lagos Island? or it includes Lagos Mainland?

The original poster got his details wrong. If not, let him post the official census figures for Nigerian states

Ceterisguy:
Next time, don't call someone you met on a faceless Forum like this a "Kid". It is so derogatory and a display of high sense of immaturity. Have a great day too.

Have a very great day but before you do, please show me where I called someone a "kid"? I must have missed that.

Ceterisguy:
I have seen people like you in a faceless forum like this. I have taught people like you in the University, so I know your type. If you are intellectually fit as you claim, I challenge you to an hour debate in any of the popular fora on any national topical issue of your choice. I am waiting.

Why are you being petty? You do not know my age or qualifications to make such claims.

If you read my quote well since you have taught people in the university, then you would understand that I made it clear that I disagreed with the original poster and that I have some issues with what was later written

It would have been better to address the issues I raised than to claim to have "taught" people like me in University.

Have a great day.

Osibanjo is the brain behind the current reformed criminal Justice system of Nigeria today, while he headed our economic team without success, he has no power to hire or fire any member of that team including the waste called Emefiele, as Attorney General of Lagos state, he single handedly led Lagos to victory in several legal battles against the FG, saying he isn't smart is puerile and an abuse of your freedom of speech.
It is only an unintelligent person will pass a judgement of opinion with little or no information.
On the other childish issues you raised, my advise to you is this; "Grow up" kids have no business with national discourse.

The BPE under Osibanjo recently queried Fashola's procurement strategies another Tinubu's boy by your unintelligent logic, like I said earlier, your opinion is not fit for national discourse, you may stick to cartoons if you must air it.

Interesting.

While I do not agree with what the original poster wrote, I want to take you up on some of the issues you wrote.

Osibanjo is the brain behind the current reformed criminal Justice system of Nigeria today...what has this led to? What reform?

he headed our economic team without success...agreed

single handedly led Lagos to victory in several legal battles against the FG...besides the case of the Lagos State Govt creating additional LGA which they later had to convert to LCDA`s after the Supreme Court verdict, what other cases are you refering to?

At this rate, I fear for the future of Nairaland. If stories like this can make front page then we need to be worried about the moderators of Nairaland

Do you mean Lagos State? Or Lagos City? Whats the difference?

If you think Lagos State and lagos City are the same then why make reference to Ibadan, Benin, etc that are towns and not states?

[color=deeppink]Hi all, I told my boyfriend that I was coming to pay him a visit.

And by the time, I got to his front door and walked in, he already had an erection.

What could this mean?[/color]

How is the fact that your boyfriend sees you as a sex object news??

Only a lost soul will not thnik of death but "Baba" will not die??

sarrki:
Baba will not die

He will live forever, right?

He will not die like mortal men die?

sarrki:
Is Can now a political party?

They should channel there complain to the appropriate party

The more reason I love catholic die

They hardly involves in politicking

As per the highlighted in bold, work on your grammar.

So what is the appropriate party? CAN should not respond to the spokesperson of the FG?

eezeribe:
You are also ignorant in other areas, that's why your logic is one sided

Where in my post did I say I was knowledgeable in ALL areas and ignorant in none?

Are we competing in finding out our areas of ignorance?

If you feel my logic is one sided then provide the other side since you are not ignorant of women giving birth to goats. Seems you have experience in it but I wonder in what capacity!

How do the pictures prove that a woman gave birth to a goat??

Ignorance is a disease.

A picture of something that looks like a 4-legged animal and people conclude that a woman gave birth to a goat??

No witnesses and by the way, where is the woman?

Ceterisguy:
I am not a supporter of PMB neither do I pray for him to die, but one thing is certain, peradventure Buhari dies today (which is common to every living soul), the situation of the country will be worse than it is now under Osibanjo.

REASONS
- Osibanjo is not a career politician and neither is he so smart like Idiagbon to manage the economy of a big country like Nigeria. Remember, academic qualification/prowess is different from Political power. After all, there are so many Professors in the Senate who have never sponsored nor supported any motion in the Senate.

- Tinubu will wreck havoc on the economy of Nigeria under Osibanjo as the later is more of a Puppet to the former. Already, everyone knows his influence in the economy of Lagos State where he holds swear as a demi-god. Remember, Tinubu has already captured Finance Ministry (Adeosun) FIRS (Fowler) and so many other strategic agencies. Imagine when his 'boy' becomes the President. He may even auction the country.

- The North will frustrate Osibanjo the way they did to Jonathan and this will drastically affect his performance.

- The economy is already dead - There is high level of unemployment co-existing with galloping inflation (stagflation), there is liquidity freeze in the economy, there is oil price shock in the international oil market which has resulted in dwindling revenue of the country. Therefore, it will take years and smart President to revamp the economy of the country.

MY OPINION!

Adesoun was not Tinubu's candidate

manlawal:
Idiot of you Remi is not anyway close jagaban.
Do you remember how many years obj withhold lagos allocation and he still survive?

OBJ never withheld Lagos State allocation. What was withheld was the allocation of local govt councils in Lagos State. The State Govt continued to receive it's allocation from the Federation Account

What does this even mean?? Remi is not anyway close jagaban

sarrki:
God bless you dogara

Gej is a failure

enemies of the state can you see your hero ?

Mr. Dogara was first elected to the House in 2007 on the platform of the PDP. He remained in the party until the 2015 general elections when he crossed to the All Progressives Congress and subsequently elected Speaker.

Should God start blessing Dogara because he made this comment? Was God blessing him during the 8 years he was a PDP rep, including when he was Speaker of the House of Reps?

savings from betting, normal hustling, and money from friends & family

Have you been able to save money from your N35k a month job? Or ALL your savings come from the highlighted above?

If the N35k job has not been able to provide you savings but your other activities provide you savings, then why retain the job?

Any other reviews, advice, or criticisms?

viewing from mobile too but i am not always particular about designs ..when it comes to niches like this....design is important any way...but design cannot bring in the money.

1.seems you just started the site so my critism of the content may be wrong(i didnt see a targeted geography ...is this global or nigerian.....are you an expert in this field or you worked in a field related to this before

2..there are bunch of local content for this niche but o cant seem to see them on the blog

..yea here is a few ...mobile ivr transactions,paga,virtual network..and a bunch of other services rendered by network and financial institutions

this blog will go places only if you have some level of expertis as you often get question by your audience ...this people may include tv stations

Good luck

Many thanks for your criticism and review. Very much appreciated.

As regards the bolded above, did you visit this page (About Mackson)? http://macksonwakama.com/?page_id=27

I agree with you regarding my geographical target- global or Nigerian. I am actually based in the UK which is why it appears most but not all of my content is for a global audience but I think I need to change that.

How is my response?

The best Nigerian blog??
If you want people to help review your blog simply say so. Under what criteria is your blog the best? Says who? You?

Please review and advise me on how to increase my traffic.

darlingjoylyn:
Which do you feel profits better?
How much will it cost me to get one?
Thanks

Either can yield profit. It also depends on what level of profit you are aiming at. However, if profit is your main motive, then you need to be prepared to put in extremely hard work and blog for a very very long time.

Pick a niche you are passionate about to start with.

darlingjoylyn:
I've been thinking of this lately! Althoughy tried one,but couldn't continue as I had no experience. Who can show me the way plz?

A blog or forum

I think it depends exactly on what you want to do. A blog (e.g. Linda`s blog) is different from a forum(e.g. Nairaland).

Any reviews please?

Any reviews for this http://macksonwakama.com/ its a Financial Technology and Digital Banking website

I wonder how posterity would remember 2Face as regards this protest

Great article!! What about paying for Google Adword Express or Facebook Ads?? Would that increase traffic significantly?? This is my website http://macksonwakama.com/
