APC will lose Lagos in 2019.

Yeah, same way it 'lost' during the last LG elections in the state, where no other party won a single local government or Lcda.

GavelSlam:
Sorry, how is this different from what the Lagos state government is proposing?

Guy, no mind am. Even if LASG said the exact same thing he wrote, he will change it just so he can fault it. They will never see the positive in anything. Bad-belle runs in their blood.

CodeTemplar:
You shouldn't be so ashamed of your state. Feel free to post about your beloved Obaino and Anambra but you don't have to forcefully tag me with those.

Enemy of progress. You are only acting true to type. Bad-belle is in you people's blood that is why you never celebrate any good initiative or news. You must always find a negative spin out of everything. Koshi comot.

CodeTemplar:
See this tribal bigot claiming what he knows not. If the LASG likes, it. an build a 10,000MW capacity power system and sell it at Ñ70 kWHr. I don't talk my own but stop talking off point and sounding like a low IQ bigot.

I heard Obiano has banned Okada business in Anambra state, displacing 25,000 people. You will never be found dropping your 'truth' on such threads but you always get a hard-on over Lagos/SW threads displaying your bad-belle. Better go and receive sense and face your unproductive state.

CodeTemplar:
I yarn the truth and see no need to tag me an anti-lagos pessimist. If they go ahead and include Oga's commission or cut as is rampant in most projects and PPP then it could affect the competitiveness and long term goal of the project. I am not a SE person for your info.

Yinmu. You are a well known Lagos/SW-hating yiboman on this forum and you don't have to lie about your ethnicity to make your point. Guy, your state needs your 'truth' way more than Lagos does so you can shove it. Una go dey complain about how Lagos handles its business yet una wan die there

Your state governor will be more receptive to your 'truth' coz Lasgidi no need am.

CodeTemplar:
Sounds good on paper but the ultimate market for energy is that of manufacturers who invest the energy consumed in productive use and going by trends of Lagos always charging so high above known market for their services it could end up choking businesses that depend heavily on power.

The anti-Lagos pessimists and bad-belle merchants don land. Must you SE folks always antagonize every developmental initiative emanating from Lagos? Your kind want to enjoy stable electricity yet you don't want to pay for it -- even though you are already paying exhorbitantly via fueling and maintaining multiple generators.

Atleast Lagos is taking the bull by the horn to address the issue. Nothing stops any of your SE states from also coming up with similar or better inititative to compete with Lagos and attract businesses that you claim will be 'choked' by this Lag initiative, instead of displaying your bad-belle here as usual.

“The overall objective of the gas reform is to open the Lagos gas market to local and international players in order to make the Niger Delta gas less critical to future of Lagos economy (the ultimate goal is to make Lagos State to be fully independent of Niger Delta gas in three to five years,” he said.

Way to go. Now that would be a very welcome development and strategy.

I think it is temporary. Once saw it used at Jomo Kenyatta airport some years ago.

front2line:
So what happens to all the Igbo state that ain't owing debt? Where are they today?

Ouch! They are still busy crying 'marginalization' and begging the FG to come and build them critical infrastructure, while fleeing in droves to 'indebted' Lagos for economic sustenance.

gurnam:
So what is your interest in all these ?

The level of obsession and hatred Igbos generally have for anything Tinubu is very weird sotay you begin to wonder whether he stole their mandate or he was the one that killed most of them during Biafra war or something. Very strange indeed.

Seems Trump don scam Buhari with that wide smile abi na grin in that famous picture.

immhotep:
But. . . But. . .but. . . Lagos is 51 percent Igbo

cc Lzaa pointzerom iceberg3 madridguy firefire onyeoga shalomc itsmeaboki buhariguy igbobasthard

Lol. YYeah, sure. Yet y'all are being ruled and totally owned politically by supposed Yoruba 'minority' in Lagos? That's a useless '51% majority' don't you agree? E be like say you just finished smoking egbo before typing that crap. Abeg comot for my mention before I vex.

aribisala0:
Ibos !!

Always praying for Lagos

As in eh? Their bad-belle na something else.

kettykings:
3 capital investments in the North a steal plant , refinery and the Dam in taraba will dwarf everything that is happening in Lagos

Damn dude, why this your fixation with Lagos? Why are you so eager to see her fail or retrogress sotay una even try to deny her strides and progress? Why are you Igbos like this? You hate Lagos so much that you cant wait to see her fail out of jealousy, yet paradoxically you call her a 'nomansland' out of your covetous longerthroat. Igbo whyyyy?? Na only una waka come

You are not even concerned one bit about the no-show from your region, but here you are hoping the worse for Lagos? Something is seriously wrong with you coz I don't understand why you are taking panadol for Yorubaland headache when your own region is there for you to worry about. Shyt just ain't adding up dude.

kettykings:
just watch buhari's policies by 2019 , Abuja Airport is already overtaking Lagos Airport traffic , the next release from NOS will Numb you, real estate growth in Abuja is far ahead of Lagos, the problem is that by the time it becomes glaring , it becomes too late

Lol. Bwoy, you can keep feeding your own paranoia with all that crap OK? Down here in the SW we are holding and ever expanding our own turf without depending on the FG like Abuja is. Ogun is still the industrial hub of the country, servicing our ever expaniding market base. Our regional IGR keep blowing the socks off every other region. We have the biggest regional market in the entire West Africa, so who gives a fvck about Abuja? We got the land to expand our frontiers if need be ( Eko Atlantic sef dey dia for Lag), we got the seaports (with two more coming on-stream -- Lekki and Badagry), we got industries, the refinery is coming onstream, we got the airports (with one more coming up), we got the market, we got the human resources. Dude, no contest abeg.

kettykings:
This will be one of the key objectives of the North during buhari's second term , to move capital inflow and the economics base up Abuja , Lagos might cease to be Nigeria's commercial capital in some few years. it is already happening , i anticipated this from the on start.


The same way they used yorubas to take the federal capital and oil wells from the south , they are using yorubas to take the economy from the south again

Lol. Continue dreaming. Economically, Abuja cannot touch Lasgidi by a foot long pole. I wonder what you will say if the data changes in the next quarter. You better focus on how your region can also rise out of economic doldrums. Lekki and Badagry seaports are coming, Lekki Airport sef, Dangote refinery, Eko Atlantic city. There's no stopping this Lagos train, not to mention the emerging Ogun-Oyo industrial powerhouses. You ain't seen nothing yet bwoy.

All these lazy mushroom fake news peddlers sef. Imagine them citing another tabloid ('the eagle online') as their source? Which reputable news organization would do that if not lazy fake news carriers who want to use Tinubu's name to drive traffic as usual.

Fake news from a tabloid.

Empiree:
Good luck with that. I can guarantee you this will just disintegrates Nigeria. Stuff like this usually not done peacefully. Brothers killing brothers. If SW had resembled New York City ECONOMICALLY I can see why they would want their silly agitation. But it is still the same shit hole with lots of things they should worry about. Fix roads, fix healthcare, fix pension, retirement, workers comp, insurance, electricity, disabled, veterans, standards hospitals including emergency response team, railroads etc. But they worry about irrelevant stuff.

Your submission is so incoherent that it's not even making any sense. Why should the demand of Yoruba-speaking Kwara and Yoruba-speaking Kogi to be joined with their kith and kin in the SW disintegrate Nigeria? Haven't states been split/created in the past based on agitations of ethnic groups? How can there be development when some people are feeling disenfranchised? You speak like a brainwashed Northern slave who is content with remaining a slave. You are in no position to speak for the SW mr. Your Northern masters have created a system that has retard.ed the progress of the Southern part of the country. #Fact. The difference between the North and South is like Night and Day. The South values Western education, while the North regards it as 'Haram', the North depends on the resources of the South to survive and as a result is scared to restructure the country because it is afraid to stand alone. SW is not afraid to stand-alone. SW does not have to become NEw York economically to stand alone. The economy of Lagos alone (located in the same SW) is BIGGER than that of Kenya (Kenya is the dominant country in East AFrica with the largest economy), that is just one state out of 6 in the entire SW. Ogun is the most industrialized state in Nigeria. If just one state in our region is bigger than the best economy in East AFrica then the SW is more than capable of running its own affairs. I can guarantee you that if we (SW) had control over our own resources and revenues (without having to send it to Abuja so that your Northern masters can take the chunk of it and share/redistribute to their unproductive states), we would be able to provide uninterrupted electricity and run a better and more efficient system within maximum of a decade. We were rapidly developing at our own pace as a semi-autonomous region right before and shortly after independence until the military incursion, so all that nonsense you are yapping is coming from your slavish medula oblongata.

Again, you guys keep talking about Fulani emirate, at no point I care about that crap. There is peace in that region and you guys need not start ethnic war cus not all Yoruba will support this bullshit.

I know you couldn't have typed the above crap with a straight face. Peace in which region?? Region where Fulani herdsmen are their overlords and untouchables? There can be no peace where there's injustice. The mere fact that there is agitation alone buttresses that fact. Left to me I really don't give a fvck about Ilorin and its Yoruba deniers. I stopped caring about them a long time ago. But I do care about the helpless and frustrated Yorubas (who are proud of their cultural heritage and don't suffer from an identity crisis) who long to be reunited with their SW brethren, and who feel trapped in that region under the yoke of a backward, foreign/alien and feudalistic emirate system. Those are the people I care about and not hopeless slaves like yourself.

As for Fulani miscreants if that's what you people are concerned about, if your Yoruba leaders would want kwara they should speak up against some Fulani killings in the SW but they keep their mouth shut which means they aren't interested. Why do you think they would support your alleged agitation?. Those Yoruba Obas only worry about their mouths.

You must be very ignorant for making the above statement. Right from the days of Awolowo, both the then Western Region (which later become the SW) and the Yoruba provinces that later became the Yoruba-speaking parts of Kwara and Kogi of today, have been agitating against the lumping of their kin to the North by the British and their feudalist collaborators. And you are a bloody liar for saying that SW Yoruba leaders and Obas 'keep shut' about Fulani killings in the SW because there's no iota of truth to that. A simple google search will cure your ignorance. Contrary to your lie, Yorubas have been very vocal against the incessant Fulani herdsmen terrorist attacks that happened in the SW and have even carried our reprisal attacks in several instances. They've been at the forefront of the agitation for state police and restructuring as a solution to the insecurity that has enveloped this country.

There is no way this so called Oduduwa republic would be achieved without affecting ilorin. Hence, another Muslim majority region in chaos and you sob would start making fun of muslims. So you can stick your Oduduwa republic where sun doesn't shine Odúdúwá Republic kó, Odúdúwá Democrat nî. CRAP!

[/quote]Oh yes it can. Listen and listen good. If tomorrow Nigeria decides to split and the ilorins decide or choose to go with the North, that's their fvcking business as far as I'm concerned. Afterall, there are Yorubas in Benin Rep, Togo, and even as far as Ivory Coast and they're o.k where they're at. Y'all need to understand that ilorins can't blackmail the larger Yoruba family or hold us back from progressing, Ko jo. One thing I am sure of is that the other Yoruba groups in Kwara (and majority of the Okuns) would vote resoundingly to go with the SW in any future referrendum. Another thing I know is that Nigeria has an inevitable date with destiny and is living on borrowed time. It's not a matter of 'if' but 'when', because this country was founded a fraudulent foundation that is bound to cave in eventually. It may not happen in my lifetime but it will surely come to pass. And when it eventually happens, you and your progeny are free to port to Arewaland to continue your servitude to your masters from where you left off.

Empiree:
what I'm really trying to figure out is that, let's say those Yoruba agitators succeed, what exactly do they want to achieve?. Does this fix bad roads, unstable electricity, employment, Healthcare etc?. They don't even have these basics right now n SW. So why are Yoruba people trying to mess up over peanuts?. Is it all bcus of ilorin Emirship?. That's not much of problem.

Doesn't make sense to me. This just gonna create bloodshed, distractions from major problems. Take Sudan for instance, what has South Sudan achieved but killings everyday. You people better think before you mess things up

Well, my opinion is that the grievances of those you call 'Yoruba agitators' should be addressed because their agitation is legitimate (at least to them it is) and did not start today. It's the same reason why the Biafran agitation will never die in spite of several efforts of the Nigerian state to suppress it, until the agitators get their desire -- it will keep passing on from generation to generation until they achieve their objective. It doesn't have to make sense to you since you obviously do not share their aspirations, but that is not enough grounds for you or anyone else to write them off. Ideally, the state can be partitioned to accommodate all parties (those of you that insist on retaining and submitting to the Emirate system and identifying with 'Arewa' should be free to do so while those that reject it should be respected and allowed to merge with their SW brethren). And the whole Sudan allusion is no more than a scare-tactic and attempt to blackmail those people into dropping their grievances without addressing the root causes of their agitation.

Nowenuse:
Hmm, are you forgetting that the entire Kwara north have no relationship with yoruba people? While Kwara central (Ilorin) is a hotbed of Identity crisis between Yoruba accepters and deniers.

Kwara south is the only safe and absolutely proud yoruba zone in Kwara state. So you could watch the way you use 'majority of Kwara' here.

Dude, I'm not 'forgetting' anything. My statement was made within the context of Kwarans that identify as Yorubas ONLY, irrespective of the Senatorial district they fall under.

Nofav0rs:
Bro, some of the Ekiti folks in Kwara (like Eruku) are Yagba not Yoruba

Dude, you got mad issues. Well, I'm glad you said 'some', so let's just say I was speaking of the other 'some' who see and identify as 'Yoruba'.

BERNIMOORE:
i understand, but for the records, we need to analyse and set matter straight, when Olusola saraki and chief Awoniyi are claiming fulani, we knew its because they have eaten sweet 'dodo from fulani so, they cant speak 'ododo' (truth) again Awoniyi expecially was a secretary to Ahmadu bello, so he only build his empire cemented to the North, and say all sorts of Lie that we are watching him spread, his son Dare Awoniyi was my classmate we party together in Kaduna in the 90s, but then We are yoruba, and their actions made us irrelevant till today in Kogi, although its my mum that is from Okun, but i cannot forget how these people are very selfish and selling selfish ideas that must be corrected thank you

Boss man, my mother is from Kwara (igbomina), and in those parts they see themselves as a part of the SW through and through, ditto the Offa and Ekiti folks in the state, so without a doubt the majority of Kwarans and Okuns are not 'deniers'. But in any case, those that choose to renounce or deny being a part of the larger family are free to do so in my opinion, though thankfully they are in the minority and are therefore inconsequential.

Moneywomen17:
u are right brother I just get angry when people are trying to lie on a known fact. I will stop engaging him further.

Yes bro. Dem no worth am. If they like make dem claim say dem be gambari, ko kan aiye mehn.. because SW is way too big to be held back by such silliness -- the tie that binds us is not any imported religion but our world-renowned CULTURE. Our culture is what has put us on the map not any religion. We can't ever be more Catholic than the pope, neither will Ilorin ever gain more prestige than Saudi (Sunni Islam HQ, or Iran the HQ of Shi'a Islam), no matter how dem carry religion for head reach. #Fact.

While our doors will always be open to our progressive-minded kins from those parts, we won't force no one to be a part of the fold.

BERNIMOORE:
really? lets see how Okun you are, Do you know Chief Akere Amos, a yagba man who is the chief organiser of Okun day in Lagos, also part of the comittee of Ogidi day celebration, Are you aware of Ogidi day yearly celebration? last year i was there and all obas in okunland were present, Not only that the Oonirisa Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi sent an Oba from Ido Osun Oba Adeyemi the saporoyo of ido-osun with a message saying 'Orisun yin lati ile ife' that is your source is from ile ife, Another king The Onigboho of igboho kingdom butress the point in recognition okuns as part of the Yoruba race from ile ife states that 'he will also inform the Oni of ife to Attend this yr Ogidi day celebration on 15th june 2018, if you want the video evidence i will post it tomorrow i have it now, so do you know more than this people?

Chief, me thinks that folks like Nofav0rs are free to accept or deny being a part of the Yoruba family, after all it is a free world. A man can choose to be whomever he chooses to be. Frankly, his acceptance or denial is inconsequential in my opinion, afteall we have Brazilians, Caribbeans, and even Americans (e.g the Oyotunji folks) that are desperate to identify with our rich and renowned culture and heritage, and the same applies to some ilorins who prefer to identity as Fulanis than Yoruba. I don't see why we should be arguing back and forth with such folks because it is so not necessary. Besides, some Okuns have also exercised their freewill by identifying with the larger Yoruba family so why then should we be dragging with a few individuals who choose not to? We no need am abeg.

As a people, the Yoruba of the SW need no introduction as regards their world renowned greatness and accomplishments in all facets of human endeavor so make una free the guy because o kere si number, and I doubt his likes can add any more value to our fold than we already have. Na yiebbo people like to form 'attache by force' by trying to claim people wey don already reject them so make we no join dem abeg.

The problem is not 'godfatherism' per se but rather that in Okorochas' case, he seems to have lost the goodwill he used to enjoy amongst a significant portion of his people and political associates, hence they are rejecting his succession plan. Citing the likes of George Bush Snr and Jnr, Saraki, Tinubu and others won't be enough. You can't successfully lead your people without grassroot support, which Rochas appears to have lost.

Na dem. Owo ti ba. He came to Ragos to 'huzzle'.

I personally love posts like this. It helps to put liberal Yorubas at alert as to the evil plans of Igbos.

In 2015, through the instrumentality of PDP federal might, 3 Igbos were elected on the PDP platform into the House of Reps. Jude Idimogun Emeka was elected into the House of Assembly this same 2015.

Since this nonsense happened, Igbos have been making noise everywhere as to how they would produce the next Governor of Lagos and Lagos is no man's land.

During the last LG elections in 2017, there were elections into 376 councillorship, 20 LGs and 37 LCDAs. Igbos didn't win a single seat.

Ambode killed them when Lagos State Assembly in 2017 passed a Law that Yoruba Language is compulsory for admission into Lagos State tertiary institutions.

In 2019, we're collecting all our seats from the ones in the House of Reps and Assembly. I don't know how MC Oluomo slept off in Oshodi that one wawa Jew came to win elections there.

If PDP tries to put ANY potopoto candidate in Lagos, they won't be able to campaign not to talk of come out to vote. They should go and ask people of what happened to onwa and that useless Acp Dan Okoro that was supporting Igbos to assault a Yoruba LG Chairman in Amuwo Odofin LG secretariat.

In 2019, we're collecting ALL our seats back and there's nothing descendants of Judas Iscariot can do about it.

Go back to Isreal or wherever you were kicked out of and contest elections there, you're not Yorubas, you have no say in Lagos.

You dey mind them? During the last LG elections in the state, one of them came on Nairaland to cry that her hubby was told point-blank that no room for non-indigenes/yorubas in that election. She come begin cry marginalization. Dem never sabi.

gimmehear:
One of my post which recently gained so much rivalry on narialand is about Ambode being an Indigene of Ondo state, while this was going on, a lot of people I mean Young Minds left their comments on why it is no big deal that Ambode is from Ondo state, let me now intimate you with the fact that the past five governors of Lagos state are not lagosians they are people who hail from other Yoruba state. The statement “Lagos is a no man’s land” is what I really want to emphasize on today.

Can the igbo and the Hausa rule in Lagos, I believe most of us see it as being okay once it is the Yorubas ruling in Lagos but what about the Igbos and the hausa, I see it as an unfair act if the Igbos I. Lagos can not apply to be governor in Lagos, in fact t if the truth must be told… Fifty percent of people who owns industries in Lagos are Igboz, only about thirty percent are Yorubaz and the other percentage can be shared between the foreigners and the Hausas who are bosses in Lagos… My question still remains, will get Igbo get the chance to be Lagos governor 2019…

Because if an aspirant from the other two tribe decided to aspire for the post of Lagos state by 2019 , I don’t think we sh

Igbo can't be governor of a Yoruba state unless IF Yorubas themselves decide to allow that, which won't happen so wake up from that dream of yours because they are better off focusing on a more probable Biafra agitation to come to fruition instead. That 'nomansland' crap only exists online and not on ground, that is why no one can do anything about the Yoruba language law that was passed in Lagos not long ago. That is why Yorubas remain and have an overwhelming stranglehold on the administrative echelons of the political power equation in the state and no non-Yoruba can do anything about that. The state assembly also conducts plenary in Yoruba language on Thursdays and no non-Yoruba person can do crap about that. Biafra is the hope of the igboman, and rightfully so, therefore they should focus on that and forget their longer-throat fantasy to govern Lagos or anywhere else in Yorubaland because kole ever werk.
