Reasons for the I'd Card project (which will capture all Lagos residents, including non-Nigerians). 1) Planning: Number of school children in an area-so you know the number/capacity of schools, number of people in an area-number/capacity of hospitals, etc. 2) Tax. 3) Security (database of citizens). 4) Law enforcement (database for Lastma, Kai, etc). And many more reasons. |

Journalist were called to witness the ceremony where the winner was selected and informed that she has won. There will be another ceremony where the winner will be presented with her prize. (I hear that her phone was switched off when the MTN officials first attempted to contact her). |

MTN did not expect anyone to choose the plane. The plane is just for show (it's a light plane, where would you park it? Can you afford landing/parking fees, etc). MTN would have already made back tje money they spent on the plane. It's also very easy for a student to load 3k credit in 3 months. |

ajf: 4 air hostesses for a cessna?? Guy forget it's fraud!!!The air hostesses are "spotters". If they spot an MTN sticker on your car you'll win 50k. I know one of them. Time to go tell her that she's "famous". Her pics on nairaland.  |

logica: Jezuz. When will people finally UNDERSTAND that there are different kinds of airplanes; and not all of them are JET airplanes?God bless you. To some people Daniel Amokachi buys plane = Daniel Amokachi buys jet. Governor injured in plane crash = Governor injured in private jet crash. Student wins plane = Student wins jet. |

[quote author=]There are two types of Nairaland discussions. The animal ones and the human ones, this is one of the human ones. In the human ones, the animal babble and tribal propaganda of the animal threads will only get you laughed at. Fashola enforcing law and order has had no ethnic bias what so ever. The Lagos government is not concerned with tribe and it's obvious. You can try to make it a tribal thing but this isn't the thread for that ignorance. Yoruba makoko was demolished as well. They're working hard to build a working city and working people from all tribes have been empowered and welcomed where as those that aren't following laws regardless of tribes haven't so please keep tribal animal babble out of this thread.[/quote] |

Turnbull Road Ikoyi (1959). This is close to Ikoyi Park. My mum used to tell me about Ikoyi Park. You could go swimming there, the animals and plants, etc. Now it's Park View Estate www.nairaland.com/attachments/697266_Turnbull20Road20Ikoyi201959_jpg91844a59fa1ddfe12bf2d4d9efb07f2e |

Supreme Court buildings, Lagos in 1959. Wole Soyinka hated these buildings. He preferred the old wooden Supreme Court buildings at Tinubu Square (see You Must Set Forth at Dawn). The old Supreme Court buildings were demolished to make way for the Independence Fountain at Tinubu Square. The Independence Fountain was demolished by the Tinubu Administration to make way for the current fountain. You can see the old Race Course opposite the Supreme Court buildings. This was before Tafawa Balewa Square (which some describe as a concrete jungle. Lol) was built. www.nairaland.com/attachments/697265_Supreme20Court20Of20Nigeria201959_jpgca6363c5810ba4240dc76b43f75e6e0d |

[quote author=]As much as tit for tat tribe fighting on an internet forum likes to blind people, it's pretty clear that ethnically homogenous cities in Nigeria, or Africa as a whole almost always fail or remain stagnant. Every tribe has a trade and nature of interests that contribute to the puzzle but the trades and interests of one tribe alone cannot make a city prosper. The most diverse the city in Nigeria is the better off it seems to be Lagos Abuja PH topping the list the next bracket would be cities that intermix elements from a single region Kano Onitcha Ibadan Enugu though these cities are not comparable to Lag PH and Abuja they're still a notch above the cities in their area because they are regional melting pots as opposed to national ones. you can see where each one excels but there's still something crucial missing in each mix For Kano's size, the level of business activity is far to miniscule and there's a massive sea of dangerous impoverished elements because of this Onitcha almost has too much business activity making it difficult to regulate and very cut throat in everything from business to traffic Ibadan has the numbers but again a low amount of business activity and a stale non changing nature due to being a giant residential area. Enugu has the civility and cleanliness that Onitcha lacks, but business activity isn't there. cities like Lagos, PH and Abuja have a great mix of business activity, culture, and livability. I'm from the east but i would like to see more ethnicities in the region, and more races from overseas as well as other peoples from africa because for a city to become an international hub it must be international. Nobody can develop in isolation or in a petty ethnic shell. A lot of cities in nigeria will remain stale and without business activity until the open up and actively invite others in as Abuja Lagos and PH did successfully.[/quote]True +100 |

My FIRS friend sent me this broadcast If you have proof that any church is sharing its profit amongst its trustees or engaged in a side business for the purpose of profit. Sec 37 (1)F.I.R.S provides for rewards to members of the public that give info that assists in recovering tax. |

Ekpo Masquerade from Akwa Ibom State https://www.nigeriaembassy.cn/imgs/culture/thumbs/akwa_ibom_ekpo_masquerade.jpg Very scary masquerade and one of my favourites. I once saw a man doing his business in the bush, when the Ekpo Masquerade appeared close to him. The guy fled, forgetting to clean up or dress up properly. They have a way of sneaking up on you, despite the fact that they've got bells tied to their feet. The way they strike their cutlasses against the tarmac could put the fear of God in you. You know they are around when you hear those bells clanging and kids screaming Ekpo! |
