Where is Lagos located? What you see in Lagos happens all over the world. Where do you think London gets its money from? Sychelles ,Switzerland, UAE ( Dubai)? . From foreigners.

Calabar was the first capital ,not Lagos. If we go by your arguement Cross river too should be as developed as Lagos.

First Calabar was the first capital during the colonial era, a period of no revenue from oil, and much was not done there. Lagos was the capital of Nigeria during colonial era and during military regime and oil revenue where pumped into it before it was moved to Abuja that is experiencing development aided by oil.

You need to know that Lagos and Abuja are the only places in Nigeria where a non indigene can become a Governor or Minister and there won't be any issues. Why? Like I said, every state, tribe has a stake I both. For the other states, non indigene can't be a Governor, house of rep member, house of assembly member, senator, special adviser except on the mercy of the indigenes, commissioner, head of parastatal, etc.

Slayar:
Normal sentimental IPOB arguement. Where is Lagos located? Who are the indigenous occupants of Lagos? Every region has its own hub ,are there not Yorba in Onitsha? Can I because of that deny it's Igbo?What of the Igbo people in Kano,will you because of that say it's not an Hausa city?

To answer your question ,Ibadan also has a huge population that does almost everything I've said in the last post.

Okay! Let me break it down for you. Every zone has its economic hub. Like East is Enugu, South is PH, and West is Yoruba but I insist that Lagos is to be treated like Abuja as every state has a stake in both. The true owners of Lagos and Abj has no political influence in their homeland. Why? Because it is overtaken by the interest of every Nigerian. In Lagos, they are the Awori people. In FCT, they are the gwaris. Mention one person that is an Awori or indigene of Lagos who has become a Governor of Lagos state and one person who is an indigene of Abuja that has become the minister of FCT.

Funny you. Southern unity is a farce.

Slayar:
The south West provides human resources. The best schools, best teachers, best infrastructure, banks,real estate(most expensive properties are in Lagos) commerce and industry is in the South west. If you're an entertainer and you don't find your way to Lagos, you'll only be known in your village.

No matter what you produce, it still has to find its way to Lagos/Ibadan if you want to sell.

Say Lagos not South West. Every state in Nigeria has a stake in the economy of Lagos State. Lagos is in the same position with Abuja. Every state of the federation has a stake in both. Every tribe has a stake in both. My tribe has a stake in Lagos and Abuja. For your info, I'm Urhobo and my kinsman is the Rep member representing Amuwo Odofin - Oghene Egoh and your current commissioner for budget - Mr. Sam Egube. There are people of other tribes who are not Yorubas holding various political offices. You won't know the implications of this until the country is dissolved.

Tobijays:
access to sea alone is on of the biggest revenue spinners in the world that is why China U.S. and Russia they drag Ocean especially China so bro and calling a region useless shows how senseless you are . The biggest asset of any country is not gold nor oil but it’s population

Quote from a less informed individual. Biggest asset is population and India with Nigeria can't be compared with developed nations with far lesser population. How do you think bro? North with their population can't survive without South South with a far lesser population.

Biggest asset in the world currently is not population but scientific advancement.

Gobengroup:
You mean the region that hold the economy of Nigeria is useless??
Hatred has blindfolded you that it's almost impossible for you to think straight.
And also next time you make a claim, always remember Southwest is not in your leagues.

Quiet please. The revenue from crude oil coming from the south south that is going to the revenue account of the federal government in a year is more than the entire money generated by all states of the federation in that same year. Go and do your homework.

How much was generated from South West states in 2021?

Obagreatdatoye:
Most of the professionals in all the oil companies in Nigeria Delta are Yoruba..,both foreign and indigenous.

Some of SW oil companies.....are conoil, oando and more.

Check the link below....for more enlightenment
https://www.nairaland.com/52812/why-major-oil-companies-nigeria

Keep deceiving yourself. Anyway you said most and not all. That means professionals can be recruited from other zones. Ciao.

Obagreatdatoye:
Because u are an iliterate and dumb.
So I don't blame u.

The oil resources you claim you own are dominated by SW... .we are the professionals drilling and working on all the explorations.
The mapping all the producing basins ...from akata, agbada, anambra, dahomey, benue trough....were all mapped by SW geological professionals mostly from UI and OAU.....
So without SW your oil revenue claim will be senseless

Solid minerals .....like gypsum for your pop, limestone for your cement and granite/gravels for tiles and constructions are all gotten from South West....

I can go on and on to enlighten and school you to cure dumbness and dullness.

Okay give an example (case study) of a company owned by South west and only southwest personnels doing exploration in Niger Delta. I'm waiting. It is not just sufficient to allege but support your claim with facts. I'm waiting.

babasolution:
But the north which have no affiliation whatsoever which your people are own all your oil,they head all oil agencies and populate all the oil agencies,while you get soot and environmental degradation

It doesn't stop the fact that your region is the most useless in Nigeria. As if South Westerners don't have oil wells. Just shut up abeg.

Obagreatdatoye:
You are the dumbest this platform as ever produced....

When it's comes to industries, cashew, yam, entertainment, education, banking, IT, port, real estate.....You can stand SW. Infact the highest FX flow into Nigeria is from SW....The infrastructures built by RCCG, Living faith and more.... can't be quantify.
In this country SW will always remain your boss.

Lol. South West that resources from my zone are feeding? Go and sleep.

babasolution:
It is a lie,cocoa is a major source of income for Nigeria as we speak, incase you not aware,the human resources that work alot of industry in Nigeria is from the south west,also there's significant oil in the southwest,as well as massive Agriculture

Keep deceiving yourself. Massive agriculture ke, massive crulture ni. Human resource that work a lot of industry is in the south west. Cocoa is inconsequential sir. In conclusion, it is human resource that you people are contributing? Human resource. Hahaha

babasolution:
I challenge anyone to mention one value of the north to Nigeria,just one value the north brings.No one should mention food,as every region is capable of producing all its food.The south provides the sea coast,oil and gas,cocoa,sesame seed(middlebelt), palm oil,entertainment, sport etc.Who can mention one value of the north to Nigeria.Why do they feel so important, if not that the southern leaders are fools.

You failed to realise that the most useless region in Nigeria is the South West, and the least useless is South East.

The North is useful in agriculture. They produce majority of the agric products consumed in Nigeria. Food sufficiency is very important in an economy.

The South South is useful with Oil and Gas in high volume which is the major source of income for Nigeria.

But what can you say of the West and East?

You stylishly mentioned sea coast and cocoa to make the West relevant but forgot that the sea port there was constructed by the federation with money earned from the whole of the federation, it is not owned by South West. Cocoa is 90% extinct. How much are we making from the cocoa? How is cocoa relevant to the common man?

Southeast is not that completely useless like the South West. The East has high concentration of gas. Both are source of good revenue for the country.

So the most usesless region in Nigeria is South West.

From an humble South Southerner.

If you are to advise anyone on a business venture to invest on or start, what will it be?

Jerryherd:
Honestly the last time I met anyone with body odour was Atleast 6 years ago in an elevator in Sharjah UAE and the lady is Indian..

Like I said change your class and standard and odour won't be chasing you about your ghetto


.

Hmmm, I'm beginning to see some sense in what you are saying. But stop tying poverty to body odour.

MufasaLion:
None of my female friends have body odor. And none of my male friends have body odor also. It all depends on who you move with. Also, you keep generalizing the ladies and emphasising on them having the highest percentage of body odor.

Bro, you are not speaking based on facts and evidence. You will need to conduct statistics so as to have authority. Personalexperience or encounters can't be used to generalize.

I will do just that. I will do just that. I like your response.

If you know girls have body odour than men click like, if it is the opposite press share. Let's go.

Jerryherd:
Yeah Nigerian women like your mother and sisters and the rif rafs you roll with might have basic hygiene of a 5 year old dirty child,

But don't foolishly generalise using your mother, sisters and girls in your circle as yard stick

Even common prostitute and olosho don't smell, not to talk of decent people raised with good hygiene practice

Now before girls in your life kill you with odour tell them to practice simple hygiene like shaving, using roll on, bathing 2 twice a day, never repeating underwear and above all eating healthy

Lol. I dey hit the nail on the head badly.

That is what is surprising. Olosho nor dey smell but normal girl on the street go dey smell. Who go patronise olosho wey dey smell? Body odour nor get anything to do with whether you be olosho or not.

MufasaLion:
Well, there are many factors contributing to body odor of either men or women. It would be wrong for you to generalize almost all the women of a country with the population of more than 200 million.

What I'm saying is that the females have the higher figures than men in Nigeria when it comes to body odour. Baba talk true, the girls wey you don dey with and your niggas, who get body odour pass?

Jerryherd:
When you roll with people of low class then you feel you can generalise and speak for the rest

Class has no business with biology. That is why you don't have sense. When it has to do with biology, money doesn't influence study. Someone explained that it is because most Nigerian girls patronise substandard creams which enhance the growth of some bacterias. Though I doubt that explanation because it is not convincing for me.

Even with your billions, if you get body odour, you don get am, money nor dey cure body odour ekpa.

You all should stop tying body odour to poverty.

MufasaLion:
You move too much with dirty ladies. Change your circle and environment.

Abi? Me self Kon tire. Maybe I go change environment.

I have noticed that majority of Nigerian girls have body odour even though they are neat.

This can't be said about men. A man can go a day without a bath and you won't notice but never for a Nigerian girl. Everywhere go dey smell.

Is there any medical explanation for this?

jaxxy:
Was Jonathan not defamed just to win elections? There are so many.

So because Jonathan didn't take any action against those who defamed him automatically means those defamatory publications are not criminal offences? And even if Jonathan take action, how many of them he go fit handle? It is better to ignore. But you see this one, na one person, and he nor be President, na private citizen.

Oshodipikin:
No wonder... Charge and bail needs job from NED. Gbagbe e, you no go see shingba.

Better dust yourself up and defend better better people.

Lol. Funny you.

jaxxy:
Depending on the issue and circumstances. Not every such issue is even classified as defamation.

Okay. Which one is not classified as criminal. Give an example!

Oshodipikin:
I don't know the Jaruma of a gal and even the products she sales doesn't resonate and are a load of nonsense, but you here defending NED for a morsel of food is just an example of how low some hungry youths can go to feed their belly.

Ned don't know me, and I have not met him. I feed myself as a lawyer. No one feeds me. So your allegation doesn't hold water.

jaxxy:
A civil matter is what these ones are holding protests about fake new and defamation for??

Is it because Ned is rich or is it 2day such news and worse have been thrown all over social media??

Defamation is also criminal in nature. Section 373 -374 of the Criminal Code Act.

Because say I never make money, I nor fit support others to defame another person even though their money nor clean.

The way Jaruma was dropping malicious post on social media to defame the personality of Ned Nwoko was uncalled for, and must not be ignored. The deal was between his wife and her, it is not enough to drag Ned's marital status and person to the mud.

I have seen that most people here are angry with Regina Daniels for marrying an old man like Ned Nwoko. Please if you are one of them, drop that hatred and channel it towards poverty. The marriageable age in Nigeria is 18, and anyone that is of that age or above has the right to marry anyone. She got married to Ned Nwoko and she is happy, why is that a thorn in your flesh? Are you his father, mother or guardian? I swear, I dey vex for people wey dey dense this Regina girl.

Same Nigerians that will post do what suits you so far it is not a crime are those behind keyboards trolling this young girl. Respect people's decision in as much as you want them to respect yours.

Gobengroup:
I sincerely hope you'll not die of wailing

No. Time for Yoruba to be the wailers in 2023. Good meal awaits you.

johnmartus:
Honestly I don't want to engage shallow minded people anymore. Even despite Jonathan himself said OBJ made him? Someone from land of ibinu because of their hatred against Yoruba people still changing the narrative just because to set people of ss against Yoruba people .

I read your stupid write up where you arguing and contradicting yourself. Not obj nominated Jonathan to be vice president but pdp elders who are the pdp elders? When the whole of pdp subjected to Obasanjo all the executives of the party are subordinate to Obasanjo. The party chairman then colonel Ahmadu Ali Obasanjo made him the chairman.

Who nominated late musa yar'adua as a president same Obasanjo did. Everybody thought one of the pdp governor might become president do you know why Obasanjo and Donald Duke will never agree together again. He thought Obasanjo has anointed him to be the president then but he don't know that obj have another man in mind.

Who is James ibori during the 1999 till Obasanjo leaved the president seat?even after Jonathan completed the administration of musa yar'adua that IBB was contesting against him same obj stood firmly against IBB he defeated IBB with landslide in primary election.

And for the 1999 this notion of ss and se made Obasanjo a president and his people voted against
him must be corrected although people of ss have not been saying this nonsense except you people from east the forced attach ss to your stupidity

Firstly there's no prominent politician in south east in 1999 that can decide for north and the only popular politician from east Alex Ekwueme contested against OBJ before he was randomly defeated in Jo's. Yes many Yoruba people didn't voted obj during the election because we don't believe in his new party pdp SDP was only popular political party in southwest then and as usual we believe existing political party because of their blueprints .

OBJ made Goodluck the VP but not South South occupying the VP slot. What this means is that assuming Jonathan didn't become the VP, someone else from South South would have been the VP.

Also, please my write-up is not stupid. If you don't agree with it, you can ignore. OBJ was made President by whose votes? South West votes? If OBJ was singlehandedly making people the President and VP, why was he not success in the their term agenda? OBJ can't do it alone but with the support of others especially from the North, South South a d South East.

Odin13:
No he was never above Obj in Asovilla.. and beside IBori never had that influence in the bill .. tho a good friend of yarAdua as the chairman of governorship forum

What the relationship between Turaki and IBori?
That they were running Asovilla?

IBori was busy with court cases and bribing Supreme Court judges .. yar Asia shielded him for a time .. before obj got to mean with IBori and dealt with him ..

IBori never had that power .. you believe in Nigeria affairs .

In the advance copy seen by TheCable, the author said after three governors from the south-south — where vice-presidency was zoned to by the PDP — had been ruled out for one reason or the other during deliberations, Yar’Adua asked Nuhu Ribadu, then-chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), about Ibori.

This got President Olusegun Obasanjo angry — and Yar’Adua quickly retreated.

is common knowledge that the late President Umaru Musa Ya’Adua did not pick former President Goodluck Jonathan as his running mate in the 2007 presidential election.

However, it has now been revealed that Yar’Adua’s preference was James Ibori, who was then completing his second term as governor of Delta state.

This is contained in a new book, ‘On a Platter of Gold: How Jonathan Won and Lost Nigeria’, written by Bolaji Abdullahi — who served as a minister under Jonathan from 2011-2014

Odin13:
Even during the administration of Yar'Adua, Ibori was more powerful than GEJ and above OBJ in Asorock, this is what OBJ foresaw that made him not to support Ibori who was the favorite

IBori was never favorite for VP .. in 2007... was only popular among the governors as head of their forum.
Odili was the favored candidate by the president but the north truncated Obj plans and he has to deal with what he have and a soft ground for everyone

I said above OBJ in Asorock. I never said above OBJ politically. Everyone knew that Ibori and Yar'Adua's wife were those controlling Asorock when Yar'Adua was the President. Accidental public servant by El-Rufai explains better.
