I'll be leaving for Nigeria in three days for Christmas. Yes I'll be celebrating it with my family but I also plan on traveling around a bit so can someone advise me places to go in SE and SS. Something cultural would be nice.
Since my little sister and I are leaving at different days, I'll probably wait for her in Lagos before heading down therefore I welcome any suggestion for Lagos too.

julioralph: pls stop all this tribal nonsense! what this man has done is evil and ought to be
condemned, regardless of the tribe he hails from.

Not condemning him because of his tribe. Infact, I have no comment on it. Just addressing what the guy asked. No offense but since I've been a member, any thread about any crime committed by a yoruba never really makes in on the front page. Everyother ethnicity is the opposite.

I got banned like four times today. I had to create three extra account, which I do ask you delete, I don't need it.

Anyway can you unhide my last three post. I wrote nothing wrong. At first I thought it blocked and hide my comments because of the pictures, I tried eliminating the pictures and it still blocking and hiding my post. IDK

Here's the thread. I'm tired of trying to post the same reply for the past 1 hour now.

Thanks in advance.

nku5: I guessed you were a kid and you just proved it. I honestly think you have the IQ of a bowl of oats and true to type you never dissapoint. Naturally being a couple of years behind in your mental and emotional development you assume I'm much older than you and that's really laughable but first kiddo how are igbos as a nation trying to "steal" lagos land. I have come to understand that people with nothing not even a sense of identity hold on to whatever they can, be it drugs, gambling or bigotry.

I'm impressed you haven't switched ids yet. I believe that's progress

Nku, you are way too mature to be exchanging words with that boy. Read your post and his replies to you and ask yourself is it even worth it. You are too mature for that ish. There's are some ppl worth talking to and those that aren't.

0lumide: You have been defeated, now you are trying to betray your premises to fit your logic?

Seriously, you ain't getting my attention no more. I don't argue with people that intentionally stay inarticulate just so to switch conclusion when they see fit. Orevoir!

Lmfao at imaginary defeat he thinks he did. Ohh Nl members are hilarious

Actually dude. In no way did you make sense. I repeat again what did you think you wrote that counteracted what i said. Go back to my post in terms of foreigners in oyinbo and repeat what i wrote on it. That's about the only thing you wrote out of all that paragraph of yours that came close to address what i wrote. Everything else is crap that in no Way correlated. If not for the fact I'm using my phone, i would posted everything i wrote, bold it and break it down in a simple form. You definitely did not understand what u read or get what the convo is on. Funny enough there was a disclaimer explaining what it was about. I didn't even put it there thinking you needed it but, I'm glad that I did because you needed it. all I can say is go back and reread what you r.d repeatedly till you get it

0lumide: I think I'm done here because I will have to repeat my self to someone with lack of comprehension! So you are telling me if Nigerians move to Enugu, pay taxes, develop Enugu, Enugu is now a no man's land? buhahahahahahah How you escaped that the federal govt paid for and helped secure loan for many of the projects in Cross River beats me. Which taxes from who? OIL MONEY FOOOL stop denying it!!

Go and pay taxes in London and say it's doesn't belong to the English anymore. You are so dunce I shouldn't be arguing with you. When Awolowo made Lagos the industrial hub for the western region, what was Asikwe doing? If Awolowo decided then to use Akure as our financial and industrial hub, yes we would have had the same effect in Akure!! Stop your nonsense rant. Trying to sound logical with ulterior motive is the easiest way to betray logic.

Which taxes? I said go pay taxes in London and say it doesn't belong to the English again!! Dunce!! I'm not shouting at you, it's in your head that voices are screaming..

Did Yorubas force anyone to come and live in Lagos? If you want to enjoy the benefit of living in Lagos you shouldn't pay taxes because Lagos belongs to the Yorubas? Why are so logically void? You don't make no sense bra..

And I said, why should Calabar be exempted? aren't there other ethnic groups living in Kaduna? Should Kaduna be a no man's land because they pay taxes in Kaduna too!!

They pay taxes in Kano and all ethnic groups in Nigeria are present in Kano; should Kano be a no man's land too?

Taxes are being paid by all ethnic groups present in Port Harcourt, should PH be a no man's land too?

Your logic is so flawed, you have no saying that makes sense to a reasonable person.

Is Lagos the only multi ethnic city in Nigeria? That it means since they pay taxes, it should be a "no man's land"?

I don't care who lives in Lagos either... Anybody is free to but defending a blasphemous claim is stupid if you ask me!

Wow i don't think i would have made it simpler. Even after I mentioned about i think 3 times now the conversation is on "development" and nothing about "no mans land", this nigg@ is still unable to grasp it and still on the "no mans land". On top of that, not even making sense with the no mans land replies. Wow. I don't think i can make it simpler than outdly saying it. Dude do you even know what the conversation is on? Read your post, reread mine, read yours again and i ask yourself in what way is your post counter acts what i said? Aren't migrant taxes in uk, usa, etc not developing the city of whatever state they reside in or is there collected taxes heading to their native country? just out of curiosity. What way do you think you counteracted what i said?

Lastly, What the heck does taxes got to do with no mans land? There was even a huge disclaimer on the bottom addressing that just for you. All i can say is Wow. . I don't even think you grasped what you read.

Ikengawo: [size=20pt]STOP DESTORYING THIS THREAD. PLEASE IN THE NAME OF GOD. STOP USING THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF OTHER MEN TO BOAST WHEN YOU HAVEN'T PERSONALLY ACHIEVED THE SAME FEAT. [/size]

im from neither anambra nor enugu but you both look foolish right now.

Dalu ooo. Personally i wish both enugu and anambra peeps could just get along. I never realized the amount of distrust or "I'm better than thou" both states have for eachother until i came on NL. Its funny too seeing as both states used to be one. There are alot enugu ppl in anambra and vice versa. Idk if it's sibling rivalry or what but they need to stop.

ezeagu: I believe this is the Nike Lake Hotel:

No source.

The top is but i don't think the bottom is though.

Comedy central.

0lumide: Northerners won't complain because oil money built Abuja!!!!!!!! And no one ever lay claim to Cross Rivers hence why the indigenous people there never had any reason to yell at you land Grabbers!

Now for Lagos: The only part the Federal govt developed in Lagos was, Lagos Island Majority of mainland was under the Western region and I doubt we used oil money back then!

So oil money didn't build Enugu? because last I checked, they get allocation from the FG does that mean Enugu is a no man's Land? If that is the case then, Nigeria is a no man's land!! Arindin!!!

Cross river also got oil allocation so CR is a no man's land, every state that ever got oil money is a no man's land!!

Wait, Yorubas have oil in Ondo, and Delta state, but that don't count at alll abi it doesn't count!! danidani ni padi yi jor!! my friend poof!

This is why i don't like commenting on threads like this. It's just going to me repeating the same thing cause the other person pretend he or she might or might not have gotten what you say or start speaking something irrelevant to the conversation. Smh.

You agreed that abuja was developed by the nation but you can't even have the courtesy of extending the notion to lagos. Smh. i can smell the double standard from far away . we ain't even talking about just oil but other factors as well. Smh. There absolutely no difference b/w Abuja and Lagos concerning who or what developed it. Similar to abuja, Lagos was developed by the national government
Similar to Abuja, Lagos develop itself using the taxes it collects from individuals residing within it. Which yet again constitute all nigerian ethnic group.

Now compared to these two, people of calabar built their city by themselves. Yes, similar to both Abuja and lagos, calabar got a head start in developing their city by the federal government but unlike both lagos and abuja, every taxes collected to develop that city since it lost its ground as capital of Nigeria came predominately from the indigenous. If they came on NL claiming they developed calabar, noone would deny them of that fact because it is the truth. If we take a look outside of calabar, we see the same development occurring in uyo.

Now idk how enugu got into this conversation, i think you were trying to get as much staunch to support yourself but you picked a worst example. Unlike lagos, Enugu people give credit to those that helped improve their city. Go visit the Enugu thread, the indigenous of that state admitted that the Igbo population from other states helped make their state what it is today. Which is the truth.

lastly to addressed the whole Yoruba built lagos. Like i said before if such statement was true, we would have seen the same development in all SW states yet ironically it is not. To get what i mean, go back to uyo and calabar i made above. The states which belongs to Yoruba but have very little non-indigenous residing within in it is not even close to development of lagos. Until i start seeing a small pinch of lagos development in those states then i might actually believe the mantra una have been saying all over NL

One more thing: i repeat again go study who you are talking to. I careless whether lagos is one mans land, no mans land, chinese men land, sa land, whatever. I careless about Lagos. I don't even see it as a place worth arguing about hence the reason I'm not even shouting like you seem to be. I only spoke because i got annoyed with the whole "we developed, we developed" mantra when that sh1t is so far from reality. By the way, i noticed you ignored the azikiwe request. Smh, not surprised, lol

0lumide: '

Did we beg the Nigeria government to develop Lagos? No!!!

Did we beg other Nigerians to invest in Lagos? NO!!!

Did we beg to make Lagos the Capital? NO! (Actually, Asikwe did that)

Is Lagos the only city in Nigeria? NO!

Did Yorubas do a campaign urging Nigerians to move to Lagos? NO!!


You guys don't ever mention cross river state which was also a former capital shows you guys are red eyed gluttons just looking for how to make Lagos a land no one can lay claims to. But unfortunately, it is YORUBA LAND and that can never change again through out humanity

Go and die!! Go to Lagos and say, Lagos is a no man's land and see slaps visiting your face!

Actually noone mentions crossriver or abuja because none of the indigenous claim they developed the region, blah blah. Since I've been on NL, anytime anyone mentions the government and oil money built abuja, I've never seen any northern speak or even start shouting, going ballistics as if the commenter lied. Secondly it's ignorant to compare present day calabar to Lagos. Calabar got a head start thanks to Nigerian and colonization government, noone can deny that, but all the recent development they've made came from the indigenous unlike Lagos. That's a major difference between it and lagos.

The second paragraph what the f2k was that? Dude learn who you are talking to. I've never made a claim that lagos is a no mans land. I actually don't give a f2k. I'm talking about development.

Lastly addressing the azikiwe claim of yours. Any proof of that?

nku5: Guy wetin you smoke? Na so ppl dey take fail exam. Say you hate us no mean u go dey type our name anyhow. Is Akhigbe an igbo man

A question they probably won't get.
Excluding agbaworo and afam which other igbo seem to care about the guys suggestion. Others seem to focus on who or what developed Lagos.

MegaMan2020: Is it not Igbos that are agreeing with Akhigbe the most? Of course it is. Igbos live in Lagos and Abuja by the millions. They want these cities for themselves so they disrespectfully label the places as "no mans land". What arrant nonsense. I'm a Lagos indigine Yoruba boy. is it okay for average villagers from the East to be claiming parts of North and South as their own? Can't the "jews of Africa" develop a Lagos or Abuja in the East instead of trying to steal from others?

In as much as i told myself i won't speak on this thread but i noticed a pattern from the Yoruba that is rather annoying. The nigerian government, colonization government and of recent the entire nigerian population developed Lagos. If the Yoruba developed it alone, we would have seen the same for all SW states. Ironically enough, each states, excluding lagos, lacks it. That alone speaks volume. Secondly, i noticed that all of una alway claim to be lagos indigenous. Idk if you really are but its a pattern I've noticed. Majority of the NL Yoruba claim lagos as if there isn't any other states in that area. I've only seen about 4 so far that choose another state. I don't know if you all really are but i doubt that majority are actually are. Just an observation

Any Muslim that still believe the virgin story needs to be slapped back to reality.
72 Virgins. How you go f2k virgins if you are a dead or locked up. 1diot.

So all we've seen on NL na lie. I thought they all supported ACN. I thought it was progressing. Better than pdp they say. Chei. NL you have power to create stories far from reality jor.

Action progressive or whatever it is they call it.

COOLDUN: For your information, Zik never ruled Nigeria, he was a mere ceremonial president, the power was on AbuBakr Tafawa Balewa who was then the Prime Minister. But from your comment I never got your question at all.

Idk what you read but what i read and was taught in school is that zik was the first president of Nigeria. Anyway to explain my question, all I'm saying is glancing at the rulers and their region, none have benefitted from "their own, their brother, etc" ruling this nation therefore why would any igbo advocate for an Igbo ruling. How will it benefit us? What is una see that i cannot? As far as I'm concern, there are wayyyy more important things to worry about than presidency.

londoner: @OP, why did you compare two women who are not in the same league of attractiveness?

IMO, Joselyn is far prettier/cuter and has a great shape.


I think a fairer comparison FACIALLY would be Joselyn and Damilola.

I agree tonto to das is like comparing sugar to spinach but i disagree with dumas and damilola. joselyn is still facially better. I can't think of any nigerian celebrity in dumas league as of yet.

OLUWA-DARE:
Dont say something you dont know. i am half nigerian/ half ghanain living here in Ghana and i tell you Joselyn is not Biracial. On TV she doesnt even look that light. she may have toned her skin a liitle bit but she is definately not biracial. her parents are both 100% ghanaian. thats her parents standing next to her in the picture below at her birthday party

Actually i got it from her own mouth. I read it from one of her interview few months ago. one of her parents is biracial (i can't remember which one though unfortunately). I'm trying to find the article again but now it's like finding a needle in a haysack. Ghanaians give this woman way way too much interview. Once i find the article again, I'll post it here for you. Btw: you know skintone does not determine whether someone is biracial or not. Van vicker is biracial and he's not that light. Monalisa chindua is not biracial and she's too light.

Question to all the igbo that wishes for an igbo presidency. My question is why do you want it? Taking a look at the ruling party region for years now, taking a look at SW when obsanjo ruled, taking a look at GEJ ruling, even going backwards and taking a look at igboland when zik ruled, seeing nothing that comes out of your own ruling. I want to know what is it that una see? What is it that makes una want it?
