Evidence that Anambra is part of Nigeria to be discussed on nairaland by any member?
Is that all you could come up with?
And I thought you were smart
My bad.
No wonder you don’t have the intelligence to retaliate against Anambra.
Such a pity.

Listen fooool. Lagos does not need your validation coz you are a nonentity. You can continue praising your Anambra state while running down Lagos from now till tomorrow sef. But folks like myself will always be on ground to bust and expose your hypocrisy. Best believe that.

seguno2:
If that makes you sleep better, why should I deprive you of the joy.
Moving on, why can’t you be obsessed with Anambra as a retaliation? Why is that so difficult for a smart man like you? At least you claim to be smart. Or you are not

See your life? You can't even refute me with a straight face. I will continue exposing you as the Yoruba-wannabe impostor that you are, keep exposing your hypocrisy, and giving you nightmares for as long as you continue using that misleading moniker. Your hypocritical behind never finds fault with your shythole Anambra state, yet you are always running amock on Lagos threads yapping your stinking mouth. I get your size and will continue to expose you. Evidence brekete below:

seguno2:
States like Anambra are exporting farm products. Is it that the northern states are too weak that they need the federal government again for their own exports?

seguno2:
You can like to live in a fool's paradise.
Lagos 9,013,534 is second to Kano state 9,383,682 in terms of population as per the 2006 census. Rivers state alone had 5,185,400 with Anambra 4,182,032. These two alone are more than Lagos state.

As far as budget is concerned, the Rivers amount is about the same as for Lagos.

Kindly provide the figures and link to your lie lie statements above.
Thanks.
Stop embarrassing yourself in public.

Did you use the past tense by mistake or was it an error?
Do you mean that Sam Mbakwe and the great Zik didn't do as much in the SE as Okorocha?
Do you mean that Chris Ngige, Peter Obi and Obiano have not done as much or you are saying that Anambra is not part of the SE?

seguno2:
I thought that Anambra is one of the few states paying salaries on time and above the minimum wage.
Are you sure of what you are saying?

seguno2:
I am yet to see this type of stupidity posing as intelligence.
Obiano my governor because you are a witch or because you are ogbanje? Choose.

Your punk a$s has been busted long before now. So you ain't fooling no one but yoself.

seguno2:
Please feel free to be obsessed with what I am not obsessed with.

Cheers.

How come you never ever criticize Obiano your state governor but you are always on Lagos threads trying to run down the state and its leadership? Abi dem shekpe for you in? Go and tackle Anambra misgovernanance and leave Lagos the fvck alone you shameless lout.

seguno2:
Which party has the majority in the NASS?
Could it be APC
Which party is the president from?
Who is the national leader of this party?
Are you saying that Buhari and Tinubu can’t get their majority in the NASS, which includes Tinubu’s wife and son-in-law to do their bidding?
I thought that Buhari is fighting corruption since 2015, so where are you seeing greased palms?
Is that what senator Remi Tinubu has been collecting?

You no dey shame/tire Leave Lagos and go face your Anambra!! You can whine from today till tomorrow but that won't stop Lagosians from reelecting Ambode.

seguno2:
Are you saying that we have had and still have bad leaders
Including Buhari, Fashola, Obasanjo, Tinubu and Ambode?

Come sef, What is this your obsession with Yorubaland and it's leadership? You never criticize your igbo leaders/governors and their abysmal performance. Or you think we don't know you are igbo/Anambrarian?

Jowonloju:
Story ! Rigth price like the Toll fees .Judgement indeed!

See, if there can be 24hrs uninterrupted electricity in Lagos, most won't even mind paying for it coz they are already paying way more than whatever the price that would be charged for it via generator fueling costs amongst others (not to mention pollution). If you want good infrastructure like the standard other progressive countries enjoy, you must be willing to pay for it. It's that simple.

I don't understand what the fuss is all about IBB supposed statement, considering that he has never really supported Buhari owing to their rivalry that dates back many decades. They should just restructure this country for the sake of peace and sanity. That is the only thing that will bring peace.

Efewestern:
When we tell them that you need igbos votes before you can win any election in Lag they call u names, Here is one clear example, 2019 is probably around the corner and Mr ambode is trying to Garner igbos votes, that's y he is forming brotherhood.

.

I love the accommodating spirit of the yorubas.

Yinmu. Ambode was just being a typical humble/diplomatic Yoruba visitor in igboland, nothing more. You and I know that Jimi Agbaje was the preferred candidate of ibos in 2015, and that igbos didn't contribute anything tangible to his election, even in spite of all the federal might intimidation by PDP, yet he won without their support. How much more now that APC is more grounded than ever in Lagos? The last LG election in the state reinforced that fact sef. So quit reading meaning wey no dey their into his comment. He won without igbos in 2015. He can and will do it again in 2019.

Ambode go attend Ekwueme burial for SE and in the process e kukuma join his predecessors in plessing their mumu button. Lol. Ride on A+.

Amosun should quit this habit of disparaging yayi the way he's been doing lately coz it's making him look desperate. As the incumbent, imposing his successor should ordinarily be a cakewalk for him, but the way he's been going about antagonizing Yayi's ambition gives the impression that he's seeing the guy as a real threat or something. He can have his way without this public show of desperation on his part.

If he truly said that then he ought to be picked up immediately for incitement.

jamesibor:
....but it's OK to split Niger Delta own?

Go and face FG na. Lagos is generating its IGR via the ingenuity of her administrators, not from Oil money Mr (yeah, I know your life begins and ends with oyel money). And before you scream Lagos ports, the state does not get a dime from the revenues generated from the ports or even it's land borders (which all goes to the FG).

jamesibor:
Can we have this shared among the 36 states of the federation while Lagos state keeps 13%?

No be only 'share'. Money wey no even reach na im wan split into 36? You wicked o.

Ikengawo:
Chie, Yoruba..

The Op is an igboman like you so you have no reason to drag Yorubas into this.

See the pic below. Our people have been using native intelligence to create solutions and innovations since time immemorial. I recently learned that the popular black soap is a Yoruba invention. And that it was Yoruba female traders that exported the craft and know-how to the Ghanaians.

Stingman:
You are truly childish...Except Lagos developed by the FG and all...There is no yoruba city better than the cities in the SE...The below by a Yoruba can help you. You really need to leave Oshogbo- Lagos axis to see other places...


"...During the 60s and 70s when u mention Port harcourt and Enugu in East, mention Kano and kaduna in North, then u must mention Lagos and Ibadan in west.
Lagos was the capital of Nigeria while Ibadan was the largest city in West Africa. We were a very suffisticated people then. We never had much brown roofs. We had largest professors. we also had other cities such as Abeokuta etc but now table has turned on us, ibadan is the biggest slum in the whole of Africa (if not the world) with many dirty buildings without toilets. The brown roofs are enough to make you throw up.

Abeokuta has declined from a city to a small town with slums. Other state capitals in west are mere villages like, osogbo and ado ekiti and akure. (I'd have icluded ilorin but since it has an emir as the traditional ruler, it is now owned by northerners). Here in osogbo the best hotel looks like a guest house


coming to east, you now have many cities, including ones which were not developed in 60s. They have booming cities like Enugu, Owerri, Onitsha, Aba, Nnewi, Awka , Umuahia. If u go to awka umuahia and owerri, u see modern buildings without brown roofs, u see fine hotels, shoping malls and fly-overs under construction. If u also go to other ibo cities outside southeast such as Asaba and Porthharcourt u see the same development..." Oni

Lol. You are a proper mumu. That person you referred to as a Yoruba that said what you quoted is your fellow ibo kinsman on this forum who uses the 'On.i' moniker to try to deceive people (confam).

A thread was recently opened on the matter on this forum and even hit front page, and other forumites from all over Nigerians we're able to chip in their contributions based on experience that the SW (plus and minus Lagos) is unanimously and undisputedly the most developed region in the country. Of course you refugees and almajiris will continue arguing blindly about that obvious fact even while still fleeing your region for the same SW. The thread is still there for you to receive sense:

https://www.nairaland.com/4205783/which-most-developed-geo-political-zone

Op is just a classic hypocrite. Everyone knows that the igbos tribalized the whole issue the moment they started their persecution complex, attributing efcc's handling and response to innocent's thuggish resistance to his tribe ('because he is igbo'), as if he's the first Nigerian that would be invited or detained by the efcc. Look, people don tire of una irritating persecution complex which you lots are fond of using to deflect from your crimes. Are igbos the only ones in Nigeria? Na so Ohanaeze chairman too talk say fuel scarcity was deliberately targeted at igbos, like y'all are suffering from collective mental illness or something.

BabaRamota1980:
So 65% of you are away in foreign land, and you wonder why you lack political clout. Its because you are a minority everywhere, including home.

That fool pulls his phantom 'statistics' out of his anus. You would have to be willing to stick your fingers into his rectum to access those 'statistics' he's referring to.

konoplyanka:
40% of south west is ibos? Please which statistics are you quoting?

Ibos will not kill us in this one Nigeria.

Ignore those fools. Before it was 'over 50%' of Lagos population that was igbo. Now it is '40%' of the SW. . Delusion runs in their bloodstream. It must be the water they drink in those parts.

There is no single 5star hotel in Nigeria. What you guys call 5star is actually 3stars! You know nothing Jon snow!

Guy, that's your own fvcking headache. Go argue that with the hotel ratings coy, since you claim to know better than them.

Sprumbabafather:
There are more large hotels in only Owerri than all the ones in the sw combined, removing lagos.

Liar, liar, pants on fire. Abeg, based on what proof or evidence? In terms of Hotels, Yorubas beat una hands down.

Do a search on all the Hotel listing directories (Hotels.ng, travel.jumia.com) per state and compare the number of Hotels in Yorubaland and Igboland.

According to a Jovago (now Jumia travels) survey, the following cities have the largest number of 5-star hotels in Nigeria:

https://www.okay.ng/list-of-nigerian-states-with-the-highest-number-of-5-star-hotels/

1. Lagos – 22 (1164 hotels in total)
2. Abuja – 6 (370 hotels in total)
3. Port Harcourt – 5 (226 hotels in total)
4. Ibadan – 2 (281 hotels in total)
5. Calabar – 1 (177 hotels in total)

No single 5-star hotel in the entire SE!

A quick search on Hotels.ng and Jumia travels show that Ibadan is third city with the largest number of hotels in Nigeria, behind Lagos and Abj, even more than PH. On Hotels.ng (Nigeria's largest hotels listing company), 399 hotels are listed under ibadan, while Owerri has just 138 hotel listings (the entire Imo had just 180, Anambra had 242, Enugu 274, Abia 164, Ebonyi 71), while Oyo as a whole had 505, Ogun had 584, Osun 185, Ondo 117, Ekiti 207, as against Abuja's 799 and the entire Rivers had 414 listings. Lagos is king with 2207. This data is consistent with those from other sources.

They should just restructure this country along regional lines so that the presidency will become less attractive and rancorous. That way the regions will decide for themselves whom amongst them will rule them. Problem solved.

Dollyak:
Firstly, open-mindedness is a virtue. In that vein, I am not sure how my comment showed a conflict of interest or bias. Projecting much?

I am aware of the context behind this thread and this doesn't justify the never ending comments being churned out of this thread. It has now gone beyond reinforcement of superiority into a self-serving nonsense. Anyways, the first 100 pages had already dealt the 'much necessary blow' to dispel any myth (from a perspective of Yoruba) projected in the other thread.

In the midst of challenges currently being faced by the great Yoruba nation, the energy and the number of comments shows a wrong priority IMO. There are simply more pressing issues that warrant the energies I am currently seeing on this thread. Each to their own I guess.

Smh, another example is this thread. https://www.nairaland.com/3941777/ibadan-pictures-development-fastest-growing/32#59950230

I don't expect you to really grasp the motivation of the Yorubas contributing to this thread. No, I do not. Like I said in my earlier comment, this thread was created to set the records straight. It started as a response to igbo taunts, but by now it's evident that it has taken on a life of its own, so to speak. Does that mean that everything is 'peaches and cream' with the Yoruba nation? Certainly not. But that isn't limited to the Yorubas alone. Every race on earth is a work-in-progress in one form or another, and will experience its ups and down moments, rise and decline, and what have you. And I guess Yorubas are not an exception in that regard. Entirely separate threads can be opened to discuss other relevant matters that may be confronting us as a people. But this particular thread will continue to grow as more Yorubas break new grounds and make their marks in their chosen field of endeavour, and that could include even you, if you identify as one of us.

I believe the ibadan thread was also created to project the city from a more complimentary and Yoruba perspective, as opposed to the many misrepresentations that abound, especially among certain ilk on this same forum. I don't see nothing wrong with that.

Dollyak:
Nothing makes me more angry on nl than this thread and I can only hope this overrated self serving thread dies a violent death (sia hyperbole )by getting deleted. It has serve its purpose and is worn out. You could argue over the 'superiority' of Yoruba as an ethnic group over other Nigerians, but how does Yorubas compares to other Africans let alone other ethnic groups from other non African countries.

Did y'all see the latest report about the educational standard in South West? What about GINI, HDI, growth forecast? These are what matters and not a celebration of a select few.
Anyways, Ignorance is a form of slavery. Wisdom begins with an awareness of ignorance. And although it is a fact that education is costly, ignorance is the only thing that is even costlier than education. The sooner Yoruba leaders realise this the better.

More than 80% UK A- level students achieved a minimum c+ in all subjects. How does that compares to the average Yoruba students (The future of Yoruba race)?

Perspective is needed ladies and gents.

Rants over.

Your confusion is understandable yet grossly misguided miss, considering that you're of Yoruba+Igbo parentage therefore I can see why you'll be feeling conflicted about which side to identify with. But you are dead wrong. Your Igbo brothers actually triggered the creation of this thread, when in their usual chest-beating fashion they opened a thread in which they we're running down Yorubas, claiming to 'dominate' and 'own' everything in Yorubaland, blah blah blah. This thread is for record-setting purposes and it's here to stay.

Basic123:
Government is in continuum.The next government should try and surpass him
Ajimobi did well compared to Tokyo-eleweomo era of akala and ladoja.

During ajimobi administration:
-Ibadan stopped to be the dirtiest city in the world
-Ibadan ranked as one of the 5 cities to watch in africa in 2015
-Oyo become fourth largest recipient of FDI

I agree woth you that he can do more.he tried for Ibadan city.I hope he will pay attention to lautech and salary payment too.

I remember when Ibadan was dragging the position of dirtiest city in Nigeria with Aba before Ajimobi's tenure. It was that bad. Even one of Ladoja's political thugs, Sunday Adeyemo/Igboho, recently acknowledged and credited his strides in keeping the state secure and more stable security-wise compared to the Akala and Ladoja eras. That enabling environment has enabled the state to attract a lot of private capital as well as SMEs and startups.

wristbangle:
You have spoken well brother as I totally agree with the part you mentioned about Ogun not harnessing it's full potential based on its proximity to Lagos. Having said that, we hope to see to better SW region tomorrow looking inward currently to develop its resources more to catch up with global trend. I like the fact that we criticise objectively because we want the best in our region as our forefathers has laid the foundation.

Amosun and Ajimobi need to step up their game as celebrating consumption based industry most especially on ajimobi path is mediocre. Even the 5.5km road he commissioned should be done by a councillor.

As for amosun, indigenes of ogun most especially akute-ajuwon, agbara, ogijo, ilaro are complaining bitterly about the road infrastructure.

This is not the time to be complacent about little achievement. Commissioning such as 100km dual carriage way, manufacturing companies, revamp of dilapidated old western region investment, power/electricity, etc, should be the centre of focus here.

Now you are talking. We need to put things in their proper context. The truth of the matter is that both Ajimobi and Amosun have done relatively better than their predecessors. Even though we can all agree that they could have done better, the fact remains that they have also had the unpleasant circumstance of reengineering the entire administrative apparatus of their states in the face of dwindling oil revenues. The past governments of both states were proligate and wasteful.

In Oyo for instance, the past administrations increased the salaries of some civil servants by as much as 300%, and even hired more (largely based on political patronage), without commensurate increase in the state's IGR. All this because they thought oil money will continue to flow endlessly. Bear in mind that the state has one of the largest state civil service in the country (whom constitute less than 5% of the entire state population), yet their salaries gulp more than 80% of the state's monthly allocation. Right now as we speak, the monthly allocations can't even cover their monthly salaries. Please how do you expect a government to still be able to execute capital projects after spending all the money as salaries for less than 5% of the state population? Yet the citizens refuse to pay taxes to help increase igr. But even the igr will still end up being used to pay the same less than 5% civil servant population (that is if the same corrupt civil servants responsible for collecting the igr don't steal the money https://www.ibadaninsider.com/oyo-looses-igr-to-fraudulent-civil-servants/ ).

The same thing is applicable to Ogun. Amosun spends most of his Igr on payment of civil servants salaries. Again, these people are less than 5% of the state population, but their salaries are more than the state's allocation. Tell me how he will have enough money left to fix bad roads in spite of the high igr he's celebrated for collecting.

Ogun has worse roads than Oyo, is less secure than Oyo, yet the state still attracts more industries. Why?? The Lagos factor.

otitokoroleti:
@ the bolded, how come you know what's happening here than us? for your info, I bought my AKOBO GRA land at 5m/plot & to the glory of God, I bought 2plots so your insult that Ibadan hardly paint their house is null & void! I always laughed when some kids wey dem parents still dey feed go come social media begin dey talk about what dem get zero knowledge

I defend Ibadan on this forum more than you so you can sit on a nail for all I care. But the truth must be told about the general mentality of the residents of the city when it comes to governance and maintenance culture. Besides, anyone that would glorify or romanticize the likes of Ladoja and Akala whose turbulent tenures were defined by wanton thuggery, insecurity, abysmal waste management, and overall lack of appreciable development in terms of infrastructure, can't mean well for the state.

joyandfaith:
do not say above in yemetu, bere, moniya ,iyana church and so on, you may be burnt to death.

Why would I even bother? I already stated that Ibadans are generally averse to modern development. Left to most of you guys, the entire state would be covered in rusted roofs without you all sparing the thought to paint or maintain those buildings. Is it such people that would appreciate a governor that is intent on giving their state a facelift? I don't reside in Ibadan and definitely do not intend to live there any time soon, but I am on ground enough to know and stay abreast of the happenings in the city and indeed the entire state of Oyo.

wristbangle:
You are right about ogun state proximity to Lagos which Oyo state follows thereafter but I would still maintain that ajimobi needs to step up his game with the huge potentials in the state.

Fast foods and restaurant are consumption based industries which Oyo state doesn't really need much now. They need manufacturing/production company which will propel other sector to develop simultaneously.

Look at ogun state, it doesn't have much fast food and confectionery stores but with the huge manufacturing companies storming the state, in 10years time, other sectors will bring up in immense way.

Bro, I am not holding brief for Ajimobi but just stating the facts in relative terms. It would be herculian for any other state to outcompete Ogun state in terms of attracting manufacturing coys right now for obvious reasons. Even Ogun is still relatively underperforming in a lot of ways in spite of its proximity to Lagos, as its government is not doing enough to plan, manage, and guide the spillover effects of the Lagos population into the state, which is causing a lot of slums developing all over the state. Ogun being the next door neighbour to Lagos will naturally attract more attention than Oyo or any other state for that matter in terms of being the preferred location for most industries. It's not necessarily because Amosun performed any special magic compared to his peers. A lot of factors are at play here so let's not get carried away.

otitokoroleti:
@OkutaNla, your comment makes me smile. fast food opening in a states is achievements right? clap for yourself
Dont forget that Mr Biggs, Tantalizer, Chicken Republic etc were all in Ibadan before Ajimobi emerges as Oyo State governor. When last did you visit Agodi gardens? where's the 5star hotel located today? whats the update on low cost housing estate constructed by Lam Adesina administration of which Ajimobi promised to convert it to Technical University? I can go on & on

You sound like a praise singer for those amala politicians of yore. I listed some of Ajimobi's landmark achievements which absolutely none of his predecessors can match. He's changed the state for the better in terms of development, job-creation, attracting of both local and Foreign direct investment. The last released report on the states that received foreign capital inflows included Oyo as one of the recipient states. Give credit to whom it is due and stop being a whiny and bitter fellow. Be objective for once. As imperfect as his tenure has been, he's still far better than his predecessors. You are just being dishonest in your appraisal of his performance because I know for a fact that you have access to a compendium of his administration's achievements. You are trying too hard with your bad belle posturing.
