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.
Even if the price of fuel reach N2000, Nigerians will still vote for APC in 2027. Naija people na one kind humans. That is why Tinubu APC is not taken them serious.
I encourage you to truly open your mind and approach this subject with a sense of intellectual freedom before diving into religious research. You've made several assertions, but I suspect many of them are based on second-hand information or possibly content from YouTube videos. It seems like much of what you've shared could be classified as hearsay, and I challenge you to reflect on how thoroughly you've actually investigated these matters.
Can you honestly say you've taken the time to read the Quran yourself? Have you explored its teachings firsthand, even through an English translation? I would wager that there's an 80% chance you haven’t. It's important, especially if you are presenting yourself as a religious researcher, to base your claims on personal study and verified sources rather than mere assumptions or surface-level knowledge.
In true scholarly inquiry, one must ask thoughtful questions and engage critically with the material. Simply making statements without proper examination of the facts doesn't advance meaningful understanding. So, before asserting what is or isn’t true, take a moment to engage with the texts directly and see for yourself.
I have read Koran and I know what I am saying. Look at this verse Koran Koran 65: 4, it says; 65:4 Sahih International And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women - if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated. And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth. And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him of his matter ease.
The verse clearly said for those who have not menstruated (underage children), that is why Muslims marry under age girls from the age 9.
honesttalk21: You claim the act of marrying cousins is heavily discouraged by who? The Jewish law, jews or modern day society?
Ask yourself a straight question. When the Jews started marrying amongst their cousins was the Quran revealed?
Going further do you say children born of unrelated parents generally have no risk of inheriting genetic diseases?
The decision to marry a cousin is a personal one based on individual circumstances, cultural norms, and family preferences. While there may be potential genetic risks as in all cases of reproduction, many couples who are cousins have healthy relationships and families.
What do you know about the relationship between probability and actual occurrences? There are legitimate concerns regarding the health risks associated with consanguinity however these risks may be overstated when viewed without context.
The actual impact on public health varies widely based on numerous factors including degree of relatedness, population genetics, environmental influences, and cultural perceptions.
Now do you expect God to talk with a people in manners they don't understand or expect there to be draconian laws? Fortunately you are not God and can never be so you cannot force your whims on others.
The question here is simple, why can’t Koran if it is a word from god tell Mohammed not do close relative marriage that cause genetic disorder, tell him to abolish slavery, not do child marriage of marrying underage girls from 9 years old which cause a lot vagina fistula diseases rampant in Muslim northern Nigeria and many Muslim countries like Afghanistan, Iran,Pakistan, Bangladesh etc simply because Koran allows it and not make mistakes about Sun rotation and other clear errors. All this things gave Koran out as mere human write up even one Hadith mentioned the man that is writing the relevantion for prophet Mohammed.
Petalss: Imagine the Quran according to him to tell his ancestors that AS and AS should not marry.
I am a free thinker and religious researcher, if you remove your bias from your religious book you will agree with me that Quoran was written by human thought and imagination.
If Koran wrote that AS should marry AS, doesn’t that error tell you that the book was human write up, like similar example is that Koran allow close relative marriage, allow slavery, allow child marriage, said that the Sun is orbiting and the moon is orbiting and the two cannot meet each other, saying that Sun goes down under the table of god or muddy water and seek permission to come out the next day.
You will see that the person that is writing Koran obviously doesn’t know that the Sun never went down at night rather earth rotation make it to shine in the other part of the world. Another one is promising of big breasted virgin girls to Muslims in Islamic paradise and more, there is so many things that gave Koran out as human thoughts and write up.
Kingsempires: so now with the little theology concept you have. Christianity, Islam, Judaism etc. you have seen the truth and it left for you to choose the religion of your chosen
The truth is that every religious book on earth (Bible,Koran etc) is written by human beings, you can now said that those who wrote them did that by god influence. Koran cannot be given direct from god with clear errors, strange practices like child marriage or endorsing slavery, not knowing that Sun don’t move in orbit etc.
I did my research for all this and if you are a Muslim, I can debate with you to show you that Koran was written by human being according to limited knowledge available to the writer 1400 years ago.
Lucifyre: How convenient. Where do the views of fundamentalist Christians who are the majority, and hold the view the bible is inerrant and the word of god fall under this your fallacy of false attribution and assumption? Denying what's in your bible when it shows god speaking directly while attacking the views of others for the same is stinking hypocrisy. Whatever you don't like, you try to deny absolute stinking hypocrisy. I first said i wasn't sure if it was ignorance or hypocrisy, now I'm sure.
There no hypocrisy here, why do Christians call the laws that god gave to Moses the law of Moses instead of law of god
honesttalk21: Do you feign ignorance that verses 7 to 17 elucidate about verse 6?
Verses 7-17 provide specific examples of these prohibited relationships, detailing various familial connections that are considered inappropriate for sexual intimacy.
By Jewish law, cousin marriages are permitted. The Torah does not explicitly prohibit such unions, and historical texts suggest that marriages among relatives were viewed positively. For instance, the Talmud mentions that a person is encouraged to marry their niece, indicating a cultural acceptance of marrying within close familial ties. The Talmud explicitly mentions the marriage of an uncle to his niece. See Yevamot 62b.
Numbers 36:11reports Zelophehad’s daughters—Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milkah and Noah—married their cousins on their father’s side.
Yes even if Jews practice it, Koran is held responsible since it is a word from Allah, so how is Koran a word from all knowing god don’t know that close relative marriage brings genetic disorders, that child marriage or slavery is not good
Lucifyre: Same way i'ld ask how come the bible and the god of the bible fail to know the same thing?
Christians did not say that Bible is a direct word of God but are saying that Bible contains word of God or words from people that is inspired by God but Muslims claim that Koran is entirely words from God.
Christians can easily deny any error or strange practices in the Bible because it is not given by god directly while on Muslim side, it is not possible to deny any part of Koran since it is directly from God.
So Muslims find it difficult to explain child marriages, capturing women for sex slaves and keeping slaves, Sun and Moon moving in Orbit, incest sisterly marriages that is found in Koran which is acclaimed word of god.
honesttalk21: Do you forget your ancestors being more intelligent than your Bible?
In Leviticus 18:6-18; is it not true that marriage between first cousins is not forbidden?
Leviticus 18:6-18
6 “‘No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the Lord.
7 “‘Do not dishonor your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; do not have relations with her.
8 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your father’s wife; that would dishonor your father.
9 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere.
10 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter; that would dishonor you.
11 “‘Do not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father’s wife, born to your father; she is your sister.
12 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your father’s sister; she is your father’s close relative.
13 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your mother’s sister, because she is your mother’s close relative.
14 “‘Do not dishonor your father’s brother by approaching his wife to have sexual relations; she is your aunt.
15 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife; do not have relations with her.
16 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your brother’s wife; that would dishonor your brother.
17 “‘Do not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. Do not have sexual relations with either her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter; they are her close relatives. That is wickedness.
18 “‘Do not take your wife’s sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is living.
Which verse above refers to a cousin?
Provide a verse in your Bible that clearly forbids marriage and sexual relations between first cousins or shut your mouth wrongly afflicted by stupid bias.
You answered the question here in verse 6,
6 “‘No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the Lord.
( Your first cousin is your close relative in Jewish tradition after Moses, although this is a subject of contention in Judaism because it didn’t mention first cousins specifically that is why some Jews marry their first cousin but the act is heavily discouraged ).
The bone of contention here is that Muslims claim that Koran was entirely word from god while Christianity doesn’t claim the same for Bible rather Bible contains word of God. You see that is why Koran is more subjected to scrutiny and after the scrutiny there is so many errors or practices in Koran which indicate that it was human being that wrote Koran.
Lucifyre: Did you read what you posted at all? lol! Quote it to show where it says what you say it says. And how's does that excuse the clear hypocrisy when incestuous relationships still happened, something you're against another religion for permitting. God even killed a man for refusing to pour his sperm in his late brother's wife. Is that not clear contradiction and hypocrisy?
It may not be directly written there, the scientific implications of genetic disease disorders that occur from such inbreeding is what matters. How come the Koran book of god don’t know that.
Expanse2020: Don't mind him guy, he his a Xtian70 % of Asia marry there cousin and nephews.. especially Indian, Japan Chinese, S.korea even in Europe do your research and see that Russian too do that .... If your culture didn't permit but there culture permitted and you are here to cry fowl only.. because in the bible asked who Abraham, Isaac,jacob, and others married too if it is not there cousin... You are here to talk heel against Islam but in your books more than 70% of the characters in the comic book married there cousins and nephews... Christianity a big shame to you Without lies it dies ......
It doesn’t matter if another culture permit it elsewhere, the question is why will my ancestors be more intelligent than the Koran, a book they claim is from god. My culture know the health implications of it and prohibit it while Koran allow it that prophet Mohammed married his uncle daughter and his adopted son wife.
