So the acclaimed educated southerners want to blame Buhari for herdsmen crisis in Southern Nigeria when he was the president.

What's the usefulness of the education of the southerners if some few illiterate herdsmen can come to their land and sack their farmers?

So,what will be the usefulness of your education if armed robbers come knocking on your door?

It the late BUHARI that is to blame.

He introduced Fulani ethnic supremacy' into the Nigerian polity,all else like ipob is as a reaction to the fulani supremacy project

madridguy:
A very accurate and perfect survey.

I hope by the time the FG is ready to do the proper census we won't have any region opposing it.

Meanwhile, I'm laughing at some people trying to fault the stats, no how the South can come near the North in numbers.

Check around and see their governors, the number of their wives, and children and go out there to interview an average northerners, a man of below 30 years old is already with over 5 children.

Remove the Middlebelt which are generally an extension of the south, the SOUTH n middlebelt trumps the north by far

famouscargo4u:
Hausas are law abiding and respect their host. They have never acted in an unruly way. Alaba market was demolished and we didn't hear any noise. NDI developeds everywhere.

So it's igbos that are not law abiding? And don't respect their host.

can you enumerate what exactly you mean by respecting host,because in all of LAGOS existence the igbos have never had an altercation with the Yorubas in LAGOS but there has been several cases of Yoruba and Hausa fights

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh. You don’t get it.

Brass o, Bonny o, Nembe o, even GEJ's place with those tiny fishing settlements in between don't need this kind of huge infrastructural project. You don’t even understand what I mean by social cost. Some people from this area are still living in IDP camps till today since the last flooding disaster of over a year ago! Are these the people who need bridges and huge roads inn the middle of nowhere? They will leave IDP camps to leave on roads and bridges?

I am not debating the utility value of roads and bridges generally but the opportunity cost peculiar to this kind of places and its demographics please.

Below is the picture of ConocoPhillips platform in Alaska that produces more petroleum than the whole of Niger Delta. How many bridges or roads do you see there? You can't even get my point.

O ji shaaro o

The road was built for oil companies, they don't give a damn about the people, likewise most people in Nigeria don't care about their fellow poor,all the like is the big foreign companies they think they'll get crumbs from

DeLaRue:
Yesterday, riots broke out in Angola, over increase in fuel price as their government withdraws fuel subsidy.

4 people were killed during the riots.

As one of the largest crude oil producers in Africa, Angola's government and politicians have been spending lavishly in recent years, while subsidising all sorts of things to keep it's citizens 'happy'.

Infact, Luanda, the capital of Angola is more expensive than London or Paris. Such is the level of petro-dollar spending in the country in recent years.

Now, their chicken is coming home to roost. The government is in massive debt. The Angola government can't afford most subsidies anymore. Citizens who thought the fake subsidised life will continue forever are in shock that it will have to stop.

The Op, along with many Nigerians, just refuse to face reality.

For a long time to come, no Nigerian government will reverse fuel subsidy, if ever. Nor will another Nigerian government reintroduce subsidised dollar exchange rate.

Nigeria simply can't afford it.

It is time for Nigerias to roll up their sleeves and work. The government should only help the poorest. Able bodied people have to find their own way out.

Nigeria doesn't have money for subsidy but has money to splash 100k dolls for few people

Hemanwel:
I may not have a better idea; but my point is that, is the current economic plan of this administration intended to make life harder for Nigerians and make people poorer? I guess no! I believe that isn't the intention of president Tinubu. The blueprint may have worked on paper or in other countries; however, it isn't working here based on the economic reality on ground. So, the economic team needs to restrategize. They need to come up with something that relates with what's on ground.

Tinubu will not listen,be actually believes he is in the right and his policies are working ,and those complaining are only doing it because they oppose him

Topman7:
You people never learn.

Let me tell you something. Nigeria was borrowing and paying BILLIONS OF DOLLARS annually to keep the Naira artificially high valued.

Do you have the money to repay for such craziness?

Here's the deal. And every Nigerian should know this.

The ONLY way to raise the value of the Naira is for at least 30% of Nigerians to decide to buy MADE IN NIGERIA over foreign made goods and services.

Note that I didn't say ALL Nigerians.

Just 30%.

And by 'Buy Made in Nigeria', I mean your clothes, shoes, cars, handbags, women deciding to elevate indigenous plaits and braids over spending 1 billion dollars annually importing Brazilian dog hair and bleaching creams to look white.

Men preferring ABA-MADE SHOES to Italian. Instead of scorning your own indigenous products as 'local'.

That attitudinal change alone can create 20 million new jobs for local hair stylists and other indigenous manufacturers and innovators and shore up the Naira virtually overnight.

Our preference for imports is our biggest problem.

It destroys local initiative.

Imagine a Nigerian youth, Audu, that's a skilled watchmaker.

He makes his wristwatches in his makeshift backyard factory and offers them for sale to traders.

You, a Nigerian, walk into the shop to buy a wristwatch.

You see his wristwatch. Made in Nigeria.

You see the wristwatch next to his. Made in Switzerland.

Which one do you pick?

Don't bother responding. We know the answer.

That is why your currency value is LOW.

The Swiss watch is about dollars and Euros, hence the greater demand for those currencies than naira. Hence their high value.

It's simple mathematics you people refuse to learn, as you cover yourselves in imported jeans, t shirts and sneakers, all costing dollars, instead of your local danshiki that is in Naira.

And until your attitudes towards your OWN indigenous innovation changes, your currency value will ALWAYS be low.

And the saddest thing is that as you grow richer, the more foreign your tastes become.

You crave for less 'local' stuff.

It's not about Tinubu or govt.

It's about You.

Let all the politicians, public and civil servants be the 30% that must buy Nigerian made goods.

You people keep making this call while the ones that are supposed to lead this call are the very ones that negate the call,while you people want the masses to always be at the receiving end.

Ebibedike1:
People just open nonsense thread anyhow on this forum. What has your Governor buying cars to run the local government got to do with Tinubu?

The cars are for personal use by the lg chairmen,can't they buy their cars from their salaries or collect loans?

Why should the governor use state resources for the benefit of a few.

It cost billions

Abbeytoy:
I am not sure if federal government is owing anyone salary or not paying allocations or contractors. So if any governor buys what you don’t like and owing people, call them out and not tag the entire country.

TINUBU removed the benefits accrued to the masses and gave it to governors, governors are using the financial benefits for themselves and their cronies.

Tinubu caused it

Topman7:
Oh please go and rest.

They should use leg for you. Or Okada.

Then you will be happy.

Let them put YOU there as LG chairman and let us see you reject the perks of office.

Talk talk..

Let them buy their cars from their salaries or be given staff cars,official cars to be returned after their tenure

Softmirror:
He said Kogi but him dey mention Tinubu. E get as e be.

Tinubu removed the subsidy,and gave it to governors

yarimo:
but you didn't create a thread when Abia state governor bought only 2 cars worth #1 billions . Hypocrites everywhere

Am from kogi state

tunjijones:
What about the yorubas? Do they deserve the insults from you people? Even when it's just abt 52 percent of yorubas that voted for Tinubu. But you all come here ant rain insult on all yorubas, when they give you back with same energy, you start shouting tribalist and bigotry.

I was really shocked and surprised when the Igbos said the yorubas voted along tribal line in the last election when just 52 percent of them voted for Tinubu while over 90 percent of Igbos voted for Peter obi..

The Yorubas made it tribal in 2023,they started the attacks,it all started after Peter Obi won LAGOS. The Yorubas started the attack by attacking Rhodes vivour calling him chinedu and labelled him as an agent of the Igbo to take over LAGOS. The Yoruba did it,they claimed igbos were calling LAGOS no mans land ,the proof of who and when it was said has not been brought out till today

GUNITGuy:
Once they move Abuja to another place ....you think Abuja would have people moving there??...
People move to places they're liberal like the west than some wealthy Asian countries ..
They're many wealthy countries per Capita in the middle east than the UK and even US yet people aren't migrating there ...
Places like Ibadan have also witness rising population of migrants for the same reason as of recent though can't be compared to Lagos ...

The West has an open door policy( liberal),if Asians had that policy people would move there but they don't for now,people also move to pH, etc,see you guys don't know some stuffs,do you know how many Yorubas are in nasarawa? Am not talking of border towns with Abuja ,I mean in towns like keffi,there are many Yorubas that claim indigenes of nasarawa,even working in their civil service and collecting bursaries as students but you guys don't know,you think it's only your Yoruba land that people settle in

They say, the people of Nigeria have to endure,there's no money.

we have to pay high prices,cost reflective tariffs,high transport fares,high taxes for everything.

No more cheap things,we are lazy and used to free things.

But the non lazy free things loving political elites have money to purchase 21 brand new vehicles costing over a billion for the LGA chairmen in kogi.

This is what subsidy money removed and given to governors is used for.

Weldone TINUBU

Ibrahimcoomasie:
I am not Yoruba. That biggest tribalism title goes to the Igbos. It's so entrenched among Igbos that they don't even know they are practicing tribalism.
A few of them know, they speak out but they are in the extreme minority.

Even Peter Obi again in 2023 declared a religious war. That's religious bigotry.

Then if they have no one to direct their bigotry against, they direct it at themselves. Just like the call Ebonyi people Fulani Igbos

Peter Obi never declared religious war, you incendiary framer,

Ibrahimcoomasie:
I watched Showunmis video or inter with Seun of channels. I love how he blamed the South Easterners.

For 8 years, Northerners witnessed brutal bigotry directed at us from the SE. It was pure hatred. For religious reasons, we did not push back.

The same thing they also tried to do with the South westerners, and they met their match and are now screaming all over Twitter LOL.

They wanted the bigotry to be one sided like they are used to and the South westerners said it's aura for aura.

Some of the bigotry directed at us below.

The north deserved every attack due to the evils of shedding the blood of innocent souls in the christian middle belt and trying to turn the country to a Fulani paradise through ruga and the water bill,unfettered Fulani access to the treasury of Nigeria through nepotistic appointments and the evil regime of the dead ex presido,the mass murder of innocent youths at the lekki tollgate,ECONOMIC downtown and mismanagement

It's nothing but simply a master slave relationship

sreamsense:
No, it is not hypocrisy! Hausa and other tribes living in Lagos and anywhere else don't use to pass their boundaries. They are not arrogant or wish their hosts evils or chests beating everywhere. You will come to yoruba land to hussle, you will achieve your aims and then you begin to hate them and call them different bad and derogatory names. You will say their states are brown roofs despite they are sharing excesses of their money to cater for your states.

Your actions spoke louder than your voices, anywhere you are in the world; don't always cross your host's boundary, never takes their peaceful nature for stupidity. As they respect you, respect them. Don't try to arrogantly prove to them you are wiser and smarter than them,let them find out you are wise and call you when your service is needed.

They are sharing their resources and food with you, you bellefull and still holding their hands to abuse and insult them. In summary, learn not to cross your boundaries, maintain your lanes

Hausa-fulani wey dey scatter LAGOS ,you say they don't do what? Una never ready

GUNITGuy:
Calabar was the capital of southern protectorate while Lokoja was for the north ..Sir Lord lugardmoved these capitals from those location to kaduna an Lagos respectively....
Lagos was the capital of a unified Nigeria
Lagos was the capital

Lokoja wasn't even the capital for the north, it was zungeru,lokoja just housed lord lugards at a point

aribisala0:
When a person is dishonest, lies with ease or forever shifts the goalposts I avoid such people

This is what you said





In black and white

Why now lying

Please stop

Bern the capital of Switzerland is tiny

I clearly indicated “ especially large ones” that is large countries( I meant large by population)

aribisala0:
Where does that definition of core mean
You don't write like you went to school
The subject is

Lagos state was never the Capital
You said there is some thing called. core Lagos and you say it means mainstream what is that?

Did the Federal government build Housing estate in Owerri ot Calabar or Enugu

So why is Festac special
So building Festac makes that area capital
Why does estate in Egbeada not make Owerri capital of Nigeria ?

The point
Most developed? according to whom
What is development what does that mean

The biggest estate in Nigeria ,the whole of Nigeria, for many years was Festac town,only eclipse till today by gwarimpa in Abuja,nothing compared to Festac and satellite town in the whole of Nigeria till date, not only that,they were the earliest built massive estates in Nigeria by the FG.

Aside those,the so called capital area of LAGOS remains the most developed area of LAGOS till date, clearly showing the legacy of LAGOS having developed due to the FG and not the Yoruba

aribisala0:
Capital cities are not always big
I gave you 4 examples Abidjan Is not the capital of Ivory Coast no one asked you for a lecture
Bern the capital of Switzerland is tiny

You said big countries have big capital. Did you? Yes or no
Canada is bigger than AMERICA Ottawa is small
Canberra is small

Your claim is fault you are dishonest and unreliable
We cannot take you seriously

The Federal government has Housing estates in Owerri Port Harcourt and all over the country

So what? Does that make Owerri the capital of Nigeria?

You keep bringing up irrelevant stuff showing disorganised and illogical thinking

You say something stopped in 1967. Where is evidence because you wish it is so?

Did anything change because Enugu state was created
Did the whole stage become a bigger Enugu?

I meant big countries by population not geographical size, Canada is a relatively small country population wise,as well as Switzerland, again all populated countries have big capitals ,most of your so called Western region area of today's Lagos were deep forest, it was the FG that opened them up

Western region control stop 1967 and even prior to that Yoruba rule of the Western region was only for a brief period about 1954 to 1967.


LAGOS ,the whole if Lagos was the capital of Nigeria.

aribisala0:
What is core Lagos
What does core mean
Define it? Who agreed to that
Is there a core Anambra or
Core Ebonyi or core Abia


Anyway you are contradicting yourself

The point is that The capital of Nigeria was the Colony of Lagos established in 1914 in 1967
Lagos State was created by adding territory from Western Nigeria
Badagry division
Ikeja Division
Ikorodu Division
Epe Division
I

Lagos state was never capital of Nigeria

Amuwo-odofin was partof Badagry Division and part of the Western Region
It was not part of the capital. It was not part of Lagos Division


You cannot bring Ibo stronghead to come and tell us our history

There is nothing like core because you think there is or should be

Amuwo-odofin was in the old Western Region

All development in amuwo-odofin started from 1967 after Western region, spurred mainly by FG, eg Festac,Festac extension, satellite, navy town etc.

Core means mainstream or most developed parts of LAGOS.

aribisala0:
The worst thing you can do is when you don't know and you try to use Ibo stronghead to pretend you know

I will help you

The former capital is made up up 5 Local Government Areas
1. Lagos Island
2. Lagos Mainland
3. Apapa
4.Eti Osa
5. Surulere

That is it in summary

Yes,these are still the core and most developed parts of LAGOS till today,except ikeja

Your hand does not have to be raised to concede a penalty, it just has to be away from your body, which our player's hand was, same with the Moroccan player.

#modified
I attached a picture of the incident, you can clearly see that our girl's hand was away from her body. I think it perhaps touched a Moroccan's hands first before hitting our girl cause otherwise, I'm not sure it was a right call, even if it did favor us.

That is from only one angle,looking at another angle( behind) ,it shows that the player put her hand behind her before the ball hit,she was in the process of putting her hand behind her at this angle point which makes it look like her hand was away from her body.when the referee checked from all angles it clearly revealed that the player moved her hand away from the ball before it hit

franugo:
Your hand does not have to be raised to concede a penalty, it just has to be away from your body, which our player's hand was, same with the Moroccan player.

Away from the body means it's raised,not necessarily raised up but raised away, her hand was in a natural position, she was even alert enough to try to quickly bring her hand behind her before the ball hit her,the ball possibly didn't even hit her hand looking at the var

The poor cannot but love the rich cos there's always something to gain.Nigeria cannot hate any country cos Nigeria is one of the poorest countries in the world

These genz recent graduates and corpers are now being rewarded,nobody send us during our time pre 2015
