it's because he "marginalized" them by not including them in his administration. Their leaders and their elders have said so many times in their numerous beret of GEJ bashing. Just like north, SW is angry because GEJ is changing the status quo. they've attributed themselves as the political leaders, brains and strength of Nigeria. GEJ just pushed them down to absolutely nothing and showing them the reality of their annoying self praising. They are ticked off cause GEJ showed them the truth and did what they thought was impossible. shikena.
why do you think many of am support APC even though the political party has members from the "killer party", they hate so much; they even praise those leaders when they move from the "killer party" to their APC. Also, the party members are just as corrupt as "the killer party".

read the articles, read insults they give GEJ, read between the lines of their hypocrisy; you'll find the answer you seek OP

omongbatim: How have current Yoruba leaders differed from the SE counterparts?

For example, what did Gbenga do that Kalu did not do? (1999-2007)
What is Fasola doing that Chime of Lagos is not doing?
Put into consideration the revenue that comes to each state, as well as the peculiar needs and foci of each state you wish to compare. Thanks

The only thing I agree with you on about current Igbo leaders is that they have not really harnessed the power of the internet and pictorials to showcase themselves. This is where Fasola and his helpers have done very well. A lot is going on in the SE that they have not been able to show to the outside world. Why are Igbos averse to camera publicity?

+ Igbos seem to be so emotionally battered that they find no good in their leaders. For example, see how despite all Orji is trying to accomplish in Abia, his people expect so much that they have not cared to celebrate his efforts so far but lambast him at the slightest opportunity. Has Orji done all that could be done in Abia? No, of course. Aba is still there to revamp. But has he done somethings worth commending him for? definitely yes.

I actually agree with your accessment. I took a glance at your thread and not one igbo praised or care to chest beat over it, despite the fact it was a good development. if it was SW the hospital was built in, the whole thing would have been blowned out of proportion. they would have disturbed everybody and use it as a way to showcase their so called "progress" and their usual chest beating. There is a difference. a huge one at that. you are correct though, there are still more governors should be doing. until all SS and also SE, governors makes those regions what a developed nation looks like, any small thing they do imho is still under performing. kudos to orji but there's still a whole lot that needs to be done

btw: it's not that igbos have not understood the effect of pictures praising, it's just that igbos expect a lot more. that's always been the mentality of igbo. If you going to start, then you have to put your entire strength to it and show wonders left and right. that's the difference between igbos of NL and the eko ni baje crew on NL

The only people that care about buhari down south are yoruba. we all know why? it's the same reason they fightingGEJ with all their might and trying to replace him with a northern. if u don't have freedom, would you know when you are free. mtscheww

@ OP
if you want to know why Buhari is hated down south excluding SW, just head to buhari and have him converse with you. listen to that nigg@ talk. With his intense bigotry, he concluded that both SS and SE are irrelevant, therefore he didn't campaign in either region. naturally, he lost. what did we hear after his lost? insult and tears. ever since he's been fighting GEJ, all that man has done os sympathize with a terrorist group, which till date i believe he created am, and insulting SS. he's insulted and threaten the Nigerian populace many times. he never shows compassion to non northerners that are killed by his brothers. when a group finally retaliate, immediately the 1diot finds his voice. Buhari is not going to rule Nigeria again. pass that message down to him. he can go rule SW and core north. count the rest of us out. A bigot would NEVER rule the communities he wishes no good for.

Jonwesley: She's already wearing or putting on weave on or attachment at this age? What the F...k, I mean how do you explain this?

probably her hair now. r

when it comes to look, the girl is average. I'm actually curious to see what she looks like without all that tons of makeup.
anyway as for being sex symbol, th way she dress, act and sing oozes sex. nwanyi just dey here dey pull legs. if u don't want to be a sex symbol, why act like one? mschewww

Why are people getting angry. the dog's butt does look like jesus. rather than getting angry, the question that should go on our mind is why was the owner checking out a dogs butt and why did he look at so hard till he noticed the impression it makes.

she's finally trapped one rich black man in her web. hahaha. Kanye, nwoke start kissing your millions goodbye and kim congrats on the baby and the paychecks you about to get because of her.
woman wey men don use and dump, one man go impregnate. in the words of 50 cents "one man's trash is another man's treasure"

babyosisi: Chai
So this beautiful girl ended up marrying this ugly man true true
Man wey dey like a cross between baba suwe and Timaya
I thought she would change her mind after the trado when her eyes open
How will she manage that face in bed bikonu
I hope she puts a pillow over his face
That is the only way o
Well happy wedlock
May none of the babies look like their father Iseeeeeee

genes pass on for generations. don't just pray for his babies, pray for the generations dem about to start creating. just pray his genes die a natural death and none of his kids, grandkids, greatgrandkids, etc look like him

hey Igbo girls wan bring wowoness to igboland. ogini kwa? maka gini? or ego or love. All this half yoruba/half igbo pikin always seek igbo or eastern wife at the end so why deliberately bring gene that go make person weep. Wetin we do una. see da face woman chose to marry. if you wan marry Yoruba, at least choose better one nah eeh. hmm ooo.

anyway congrats to them.

one of the worst thing I've heard in awhile. I've heard ignorant stuff before but this takes the cake. i like amaechi but slowly, I'm getting disappointed in him. he's starting to remind me of okorocha

ballabriggs: Tokyo has a population of about 13 million people with a higher resource per capita, Lagos has a population of 20 million and growing with a less canr resource per capita, now how is it so difficult for you to undersboothtand this.

What taxes do they pay? People who work in largely informal sectors, where are you going to get them treso pay taxes. Granted they pay a few rates to the local government and thugs on the roads, but this is largely insignificant to the gross revenue of Lagos. The bulk of the revenue comes from largely formal and organised sectors.

Bring data and stop arguing like someone on weed. Which city has the same resource per capita as Lagos and is outperforming Lagos. You need to cite good examples and not just make assertions without any evidence to back it up.

Lagos generates about N17 billion annually, it gets about N 3 billion monthly from the FG. That is about N240 billion annually. Yet Lagos has a budget of about N400 billion. Where is the money going to come from with the surge in population.

A new excuse. from population to population growth now resource per capita. pitiful rather than accepting for a city with so much money generated, it's an insult how underdeveloped it is. rather than accept that, all people get is excuse.

anyway first off, i don't deal with estimation; i deal with fact and the last census Nigerian government conducted, lagos city has a population of 7 mil while last census tokyo is 13 mil. by the way, you do realize, similar to Nigeria, japan as in total depend on others for what they have therefore, I'm so interested to know how you came to the conclusion they generate more resource.

now in regards to taxes. first of, wasn't it this same city that recently started a tax on something as ridiculous as owanbe tax? is it not this city that depend heavily on taxation on oil companies? is this not the same city that harrashed ordinary traders for not paying their rental tax? now camel's has broken, a new story is told. dude the fees the market men and women pay on daily basis to lagos government in effort to keep their shop wtf is that? is that not tax? what of the ones for your land, the ones they include in your electricity bills, water bills, etc. let's not even talk about the increasing the school fees thus more money to that governor. the recent toll booth.

lagos allocation monthly is 15.2 bil
http://www.tribune.com.ng/index.php/news/41108-fg-states-lgs-to-share-n796bn-april-allocation-today
it's GDP is roughly 33 billion USD. a city with one of the fastest growing GDP rate in Africa yet despite all that, the city is still less than developed.
Cities in Africa with less money, less problem, etc is out doing it example luanda.

let me say this as nicely and slowly as i can cause obviously you are too slow to get it. For a city with such high amount of income as well as high amount of income from the people and high amount of compensation from the government, it's development is below par. even with it's damn population, it's still very much below par like i was saying to the other guy, lagos went from 5th worst cities to live in to 3rd worst cities in just few years. that's a bloody disgrace. fix the city instead of making up silly excuse to justify clear evident of corruption in it's quarters

ShyM-X:
How dare you compare UK slums to American slums? - that's blasphemy!! It shows you haven't been anywhere else apart from the backwater college you attend in America. Just go out more, mate.

abeg mechionu. the same drug dealers litters, the same drug addicts, the same criminals full, the same backgrounds, the same individuals choosing crime than education like the ghetto Americans, the same poverty level, the same everything. The only difference is ghetto of America consists Americans while for your area, the foreigners dey am. hence the reason the damn white complains about you people day and night over there. your own media sold you out. nigg@ they got BBC America over here and I've watched tons from that channel. come down from that damn high horse. doubtful, a western media would sell the opposite of the reality of it's people.

mtscheww. i won't be suprised if i call my cousin and half brother, both live in Uk, they'll say the same ish.

spare me with the whole Europe BS

Your hatred for everything about Lagos has made you so ret.arded and incoherent that you always have to result to posting tosh just to back up your asinine gibberish.

Lagos is moving and progressing; and you and ilk will only end up committing suicide, to be honest. And as a son of the soil, who aligns with only Lagos in that country(muthaphuck Nigeria); I put it to you that your opinion(s) is/are inconsequential. Don't hate, just appreciate.

Say this after me: Lagos is the best city in the world!! And make sure you repeat it x7!!!

let me bring you back down to reality. Lagos is one of the worst cities in the world. The 3rd unlivable cities in the world. it went from 5th to 3rd in just few years. welcome to reality.
una can praise the excuse of a city but don't insult Africa in the process.

ballabriggs: China has a very low population growth rate and this is largely due to its population control policy. Japan also has a low population growth rate. Population growth rate is different from the population, so get that into your tiny brain.

Controlling your population growth rate is an important strategy for development. Control your population and let it grow at the same rate as available resource. What Lagos is seeing today is not a population it can manage effectively. It is receiving an influx of largely unskilled people who are a burden on resources and social amenities. People who should be in Kwale and Ogwashi Ukwu doing better things are in Lagos selling gala in the traffic. Go to the markets, some of them have no store. They do what we call 'oso ahia'. Hustling because Uduaghan has chopped all the money for development and the burden is passed on to Lagos.

dude once more come to reality. China developed it's city during the high population growth and still doing it even now they created a policy to control their population growth. The way for tokyo, japan. Get that through your thick head. constantly when showed how under performed lagos is, you people scream "population", yet we know cities with the same high population out doing lagos. even if we follow the new excuse (i.e: you went from population to population growth), New York has a high population growth. not just immigrants from their own nation but foreign nations as well, let's not forget illegal immigrants are migrating there in alarming rate yet the city is growing and developing at a faster rate than lagos.

For a city that collects millions of taxes from their residents and collect one of the highest allocation from the FG plus holds most of foreign companies and oil companies, it shouldn't be that underdeveloped. that's a damn fact.

lastly ssh. stop trying to teach me about my own. do you see me teaching you about your people? You all constantly believe every man and woman see Lagos as a place to go. come down to reality. most Asaba would rather tough it out in delta than go to lagos. you hear? btw:ogwashi uku and ukwuani are not asaba. una need to start traveling

ShyM-X:
Apart from not being able to write coherently, you also lack the ability to read properly.

Anyway, when did saying there are third world slums all over America become saying it's the same as African slums?

American slums(to my/European standards) are 3rd world slums, period!!!

like i said STFU. UK ghetto is almost identical to the USA ghetto. very little difference so spare us with the whole "european standard" bs. I might not have been to Europe, excluding France, but I've seen more than enough shows from europe, specially UK, to understand the living standard of it. I'm guessing you are trying to imply the media of that nation is giving out false impression of the living standard of their ghetto. mscheeww. more stories.

btw: spare me with the whole english writing bs. When you are unable to defend yourself, you result to it. abeg, move.

ballabriggs: And what, the Chinese are not doing anything to control it? China has a low population growth rate lower than the US with its one child policy and an ever increasing resource base. Lagos is growing very fast in terms of population but the resources needed to manage this surge, is not growing at par.

China has the highest population in the world. whether there population growth is low, it still does not remove the amount residing there already. there population now is higher than that of lagos, usa too yet it city, hong kong, is more developed than lagos. it's high population didn't hold them back. simple A, B, C; you wan skip all the way to J. mscheww

The average graduate of DELSU has no hope of getting a job in Asaba, if you dispute it, bring your data and show me what percentage of graduates from DELSU over the years got a job in Asaba.

wtf is this one talking about? similar to onitsha, most asab indigenous create their own occupation. If one can't find a job, he/she would start his/her own business be it trading, marketing, etc. the population that migrate out is little compare to the ones hustling in asab, ogwashi, warri or onitsha. you wan teach me about my own people. see your head

ShyM-X:
WTF are you on about and why do you always rant saying a lot without saying anything? I've been going to America way before you ever got on an airplane and way before you left wherever you were born and raised in Nigeria.

Discuss the topic and save me your autobiography - I'm honestly not interested.

Sighs!!!

dude stfu and stick to UK. stop yarning rubbish if you don't know wtf you speak off and when schooled, you start telling stories. You've been to USA yet dare to say ghettos in usa is the same as African slums. wetin man no go see

ballabriggs: Close your mouth biko, do those places have half of the population of Lagos? Lagos not only has a high population for a city, it has a very high population density because all those your otokoto brothers have left their ritual business in Owerri and Asaba to come and 'hustle' in Eko. The city is exploding and if there was a way, I am sure one of the things the governor would have done is to find a way of controlling this ever increasing population as it is a time bomb waiting to explode.

shut up with population excuse. japan and china has one of the highest population yet tokyo and hong kong would make any African city weep in comparison. shut up with the population bs.

as for asaba migrating to eko. keep telling yourself that. Asaba people go where? abeg move left jor, I'm trying to see front

ShyM-X:
You're a joker!!

Perhaps, you need to ask "TheBookWorm" why he ran away after seeing those two places that I mentioned. He's from NYC and he understands the last sentence of my post.

You can't google those places - you need to have been there to know what I was on about. Anyway, I don't need to tell you or write epistles about where I've been and where I haven't been. But discerning minds will always understand even with one-liners.

Ciao!

I've been to new orleans, south Carolina and Florida. I live in the fucking south, which has more ghettos than the north, and thanks to my work, i get to travel alot. where i live is a 20 mins drive to the ghetto. my job is located downtown which are usually down the block to the ghetto no matter the city in America. I went to a high school with predominately ghetto kids, tutored predominately ghetto kids. the first job I ever worked in USA was an outreach program. the college i'm in, despite it being a predominately white people school, is flat out in the ghetto. I still, till this day, have friends from the ghetto. when it comes to ghetto, I'm beyond knowledgeable about it cause I've been around since I came to this country. WTF r u on about? it's obvious you know very little of what you are talking about. your reply to the man was homeless individuals when he asked you are you serious in comparing african slum to American ghetto? first of your reply makes very little sense. we are not comparing homeless people. we talking about the poor compare to poor in both countries. Even if we speak of the homeless, in usa, they have homeless shelter, feed and clothe the homeless foundations and once more free clinic for them. all which africa lacks. when was the last time you've heard the church in Nigeria opens its door for the homeless yet in America, depending on the city, it's an everyday act. every celebration, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas, the moderate to rich, actually takes times to help feed the homeless in the homeless shelter. when have you ever heard that ish happening in Nigeria or Africa till the point it is an every year event.

by the way, it was middle of the night over, it just turned 6 am, which is the same in new york. with daylight saving, there are some places still in early morning. the guy most likely haven't seen your reply. stop with the fictional winning you give yourself once in awhile.

NOI, my sister, once more nice work

only in Africa. well i no blame, masquerade are touts jor

django1: The pictures from the video looks amazing isn't it?

It really makes you made doesn't it?

The worst of lagos isn't worst than that of nairobi or any other african city and the best of lagos is definitely not found wanting on the continent.

I expect lagos to get better, at that point only God can keep you from falling on a sword.

Yet we wonder why other Africans insult Nigeria constantly. it's obvious as hell you've never step foot in Narobi or any other African city. Narobi has it slums too ,no denying it, but one thing for sure it's slums is not as much as lagos and it's beautiful areas is a MILLION times better than Lagos. read my post, wey better.

lmfao @ the best of lagos is not found anywhere else in Africa. probably West Africa and that's a big probably. when concerning West Africa, I've only been to ghana and ivory coast so other WA countries, I'm not so sure. in regards to the rest of the continent, what an insult you just gave them. you see the cities i listed (casablanca, narobi and johanesburg), visit those cites and slap yourself for the insult you just gave them. though i have not been to luganda yet, my bestfriend just got back and based on his stories, you equally insulted that city as well. slap yourself

once more, don't it hurt that despite all the glossy pics and the lies, the world still see the truth about lagos hence it's going up in the one of the worst cities in the world list. like i said, fix the city and stop passing out false advertisement. noone would complain if it matches reality #just saying

ShyM-X:
^^^^Keep fooling yourself with all those third world slums all over America from New Orleans, to Detroit, to Flint, to'Marine city in the bay, to South Carolina, to Florida etc. Even the people living there look and talk like they've got down syndrome.

stick to UK and leave USA if you don't know what you speak of. have u ever stepped foot in the ghetto of USA? there lifestyle isn't anything close to slum in Nigeria. for every ghetto, there is free housing giving to them by the government. food stamp and some are qualified to get checks every month by the government for not doing anything expect having some kind of disability or single parenthood. The social workers hands them jobs. They even pay for their education especially those high school dropouts seeking GED, CNA, PR, etc. they have a community center equipped with pool, basketball courts, gym, etc. Each ghetto have at least one or two free health clinic. For every criminal offense, depending on how poor they are, there is a free lawyer handed to am. Even if they don't have a washing machine at their house, wash stores are all over the ghetto. let's not even get into with the cheap stores for their clothing and necessary living standard supplies, constant electricity, clean water, etc. the ghetto living in usa is equivalent to middle class living of nigeria.

nigeria slum and american ghetto are not alike, not one bit. as for them looking likes retards, that's cause most of the people living in the ghetto/hood are drug addicts, high school dropouts, drug dealers and their baby mama.

Even UK ghetto is somewhat similar to American ghetto. i might not live in England and I've not been there as of yet but judging from what i in BBC america, there hood lifestyle ain't nothing like what we see in Nigeria's slum. it is more similar to USA ghetto than makoko or wherever else

what a huge insult to mama Africa. we constantly naming Nigeria shit that's not reality. Lagos, the big apple of africa. he and tinubu are pretty much trying to say lagos is africa's new york. what insult to mama africa and the countries within it. narobi which is a billion times better than lagos isn't talking. casablanca isn't talking, luanda isn't talking, johanessburg isn't talking, so many African cities wey better isn't talking but yet the city that's one of the listed worst cities in the world is talking. what an insult to the continent of Africa.

as for those shouting, it's an advert, it's an advert. nobody, absolutely NOONE loves false advertisement. Noone wants to see beautiful pictures or adverts and once you get there, you see the opppsite. people do not like being decieved. PR are constantly shunning out false, overretouched pics of that city and when people finally show the real truth like the rick ross video, Nigerians get angry.

Eko o ni baje. Fashola is working, Lagos is improving, ACN is progressing. all you SE and SS talking are bigots, using bigotry to hate on us. Why only lagos? Why are you always looking at lagos. why don't una go back to your erosion and landlock land for SE . fishermen, illiterate and no shoe wearing land for SS. SW dey progress
