LegendHero: If you bet your life, you might lose it.
Check the lady profile well. What she said is no different from what Ibo people say daily on Nairaland and Twitter
No Igbo person have time to say that, Igbos know very well that Yorubas get UK, they are the first to land in UK in numbers before Igbos, so Igbos don’t argue Yoruba success in Uk, Reno is a Clown behind that moniker.
They are just manipulating Koran to perpetuate evil, although Koran contain some awkward violent statements that led Islamic members to involve in violence but they are over doing it.
Wonder why South West like seeing big figures for their various state in the name of IGR instead of looking at their state infrastructural development and impact of overtaxing on their populace into abject poverty. Human development is more important than IGR that end up in politicians pocket.
sulaak: Aguiyi Ironsi's decree 34 abolished the regional system in Nigeria.
The military government is not, by definition, unitary, but Ironsi abolished the regional system because he believed that the regions were not loyal to the Nigerian constitution. Gowon exacerbated the problem of the unitary state, but the fault lies with Aguiyi Ironsi's Decree 34
Is a lie, if Ironsi abolished regional government, why is Ojukwu remain the head of eastern region until the war, he led the delegation to Aburi peace accord that met with Gowon in Ghana.
You will say that your goal is to impact positively on the company and see it grow, that the company is a reputable company, that it salary will be in acceptable range for you. That is when you are scared of losing the position but if you don’t care then you quote a price.
Unfortunately Nigerians see everything as politics and try to defend the statue quo but we are all doing ourselves, if we travel to Ghana, Egypt or South Africa and see how their countries is doing better by spreading development across the regions of their countries.
If you are into importation, you will know they are not working, what I am saying is reality. If other African countries like South Africa can have 4 standard seaport in their different regions, how will Nigeria catch up with ensuring that such amenities is confined into one state by force without thinking of spreading development.
You can’t fly out of Nigeria if you don’t touch down in Lagos or Abuja international airport. Kano international airport is only use in direct international flight during hajj lifting of pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia.
Aleem26: Let me educate you bro…am a custom licensed agent,we have federal lighter terminal (FLT)for oil related and federal ocean terminal (FOT)for non oil related so what makes lagos different is it welcomes THE RORO vessel and Onne seaport doesn’t This is Nigeria where everything is possible so if you know your way here with customs here too 👍 your good to go cos I can vividly tell you that onne is hassle free unlike Lagos.
I import goods into Nigeria, I know what I am telling you. If indeed you’re working in Onne, you will know that goods are intentionally delayed and cost much more to clear at Onne port than Lagos. As you mentioned RoRo is not going there and many other important shipping agencies, why is it so
Aleem26: I work at Onne seaport…and it’s 💯 functioning
Is a lie, only oil companies use Onne port, not for public like Apapa port, if you choose Onne port while importing the person will pay three times the price in Lagos and the goods will be delayed for months, is just a politics to frustrate other ports other than the one in Lagos. You can only fly out of Nigeria either from Lagos or Abuja.
Nigeria is just a country that don’t want their country to develop.
This politics of allowing only Lagos seaport to operate and one international airport in Lagos and Abuja to be functioning is part of major problem in Nigeria. People overcrowd Lagos and Abuja without allowing other regions to develop. South Africa have 4 airport and seaports and small Ghana have two functional international airport spreading development across regions.
guysbewise: "before Ojuku an Igbo man declared the republic of biafra in may 1967 Isaac Adaka Boro an Ijaw man had already declared the Niger delta republic in february 1966. Boro had formed the niger delta volunteer force an armed militia with members consisting mainly of his fellow ethnic group declared the niger delta republic on february 23 1966 and fought nigeria's federal forces for 12 days but they were eventually defeated and then jailed by the Ironsi an Igbo man federal military government [and Ojuku an Igbo man eastern governor] for treason"
But it was Gowon from Kanke Local Government Area in Plateau State that later set Boro free and Boro later became a major in the Nigeria army and helped to tame the Biafra army.
The Igbos started the civil war because they wanted to take the lands of the Niger Delta from the people that own the Niger Delta, because the Europeans came and created Nigeria and put some parts of the Niger Delta in the SE then and the Igbo coup of 1967 made Ojukwu the military governor of the SE region.
Basic123: No region is at front of regionalisation than southwest.
Your son AGUYI IRONSI unified us after killing leaders of yorubas and fulani regions out of GREED!
AND WHAT STOPPED YOUR SON GEJ,OKONJO IWEALA AND ANYIM PIUS ANYIM from achieving that for you when they hold the ace for good 6years?...including your stupid son IKE EWEREMADU who chaired constitutional review committee for 12 useless years.....or they just want to officially give you opportunity to display your PERSECUTORY DELUSION and VICTIM MENTALITY?
You guys are just afraid of your shadow shouting Ironsi to cover up your fear of other region managing their space. Enjoy your Lagos manipulation and if people converge in Lagos and make it more congested, don’t start crying foul that people should go back to their region.
LagosFc: the regional governments that was truncated by your covetous and greedy ancestors, what was your level of achievement compared to the western region?
If you are a student of history, then you should know that Sw was and is still the most progressive region in the country, so you can keep crying and making excuses for the failure you elected in your shitty region
You guys are just afraid of your shadow shouting ancestors to cover up your fear of other region managing their space. Enjoy your Lagos manipulation and if people converge in Lagos and make it more congested, don’t start crying foul that people should go back to their region.
Emir01: E no go better for Ipob and their supporters. Your brother Irosi joined us together by force because of greed. And your stupid Ipob families are deliberately delusional, we are ready to support you people to go if you're ready not stupid directionless Ipob and his people that don't know what they’re doing. Support your people to move away from SW, go and clear your cargoes in Rivers or Delta port, we don't need your money, go and build your region. 90-99% of Yorubas prefer regional govt.
You guys are just afraid of your shadow shouting Ironsi to cover up your fear of other region managing their space. Enjoy your Lagos manipulation and if people converge in Lagos and make it more congested, don’t start crying foul that people should go back to their region.
Is Lagos hijacking their states and LG allocations?
Is Lagos hijacking bayelsa,rivers,akwa Obama and delta States allocations.Those 4 states collects far higher allocation from the federation pus than Lagos.
LAGOS is not being pampered Somebody worked on the state IGR!
If sure for the SW or Northern Nigeria, endorse regionalisation let’s compete on level ground, don’t stand on the unequal Nigeria structure were Lagos have it all against others and be beating chest.
If someone want to clear goods, one go to Lagos, if one to travel out, go to Lagos, they congested one state because of the greediness
Recently regional government was introduced on the National Assembly and South West and Northern Nigeria bring the bill down.
Did the federal government build Lekki sea port, or planned the Lekki airport or Lekk CNBC i FTZ or the blue line or the redline or the general hospitals or the bridges
The structure has already been built for Lagos to stand and they hold tight to sabotaging the sea port and international airport in other regions.
nairalanda1: No one is preventing anyone from developing port and international airport in their land.
Is a big lie, why is calabar or port harcourt ports not working Why most every Nigerian come to Lagos or Abuja to travel out of the country Which country in the world operate that system if not to limit other regions in Nigeria.
TechCapon: But why is it only Lagos that's progressing and moving forward while the other states are moving backwards? That only place that's trying to keep pace with Lagos is Abuja and that's only because of the presence of Wike. Every other state is just moving backward
Try to understand how Nigeria operates, Lagos progresses because they are ripping off other regions by been only place that have working international airport and Seaports, other regions are blocked politically by having that , also favoured by being former capital of Nigeria. Abuja on the other hand is the capital of Nigeria been developed by oil money the same way Lagos was developed as capital of Nigeria for more than 30 years with oil money, no other state have that privileges in Nigeria.
I wonder what concerns Edo elections with Igbos. LP can’t win Anambra unless they field better candidate. People voted LP in the last election because they believed Obi is better candidate and some urchins are thinking that Igbos are like them that is voting party instead of credible candidate.
What your business with governor elected?? You are even already projecting he won't do well. Haaaass
Bunch of hateful hypocrite
How is these people Igbos, you need psychiatric examination. The vote in Edo between APC and PDP is nearly 50/50. Those monikers are PDP Edo people fighting APC gangs and you are putting it on Igbos.
Nigerians keep voting for APC and continue to complain, I don’t think things are hard in Nigeria as they use to complain. 2027 they will vote for APC and start to cry up and down.
ogunsbanjul: So finally, Labour Party is still maintaining the usual 3rd position.
Congratulations to Olumide for proving to the world that Labour Party (LP) will always be third in any election conducted in Nigeria.
Congratulations to the winner
So Labour Party is your problem, Obi bring Labour Party to limelight in last election and is not expected to reflect at state level even in Anambra state Labour Party won’t win, people just voted for Obi in last presidential election not LP.
