If you know your onions just like myself (yes, I'm bragging), you can own a house within a year in the UK unlike some discouraging stories some people like to tell.

This is what these small obidient boys don't know about the visionary prowess o[b]f Tinubu.

He was a man who saw today 20 years ago. He is a genius.

While his other govs were investing in beer factory, Tinubu invested in Lekki/Ajah. Imagine if he didn't do what he did then, there wouldn't have been VI and Lekki and you know the value of those places today. And then one mediocre who manages to construct a 17th century borehole is comparing himself to a genius like Tinubu. All these small boys need to go and learn about Tinubu as gov.

Other states outside the South East of Nigeria are currently experiencing ecological disasters and gully erosions of multiple dimensions. So, this isn't a case of the continuation of a low-key Nigerian Civil War. The challenges seem to get bigger as work is carried out on some erosion sites, hence, some sites have witnessed failed sections after getting fixed.

Read up on the Federal Government and the NEWMAP World Bank erosion assisted program.

Other Web links below show that the Federal Government through NEWMAP has been involved in providing counterpart funding for the works on erosion sites... and incidentally Auchi is still battling with gully erosions as of 2024. In December 2023, the Vice President of Nigeria Kashim Shettima also visited Anambra in the second Web link below and flew in a helicopter over erosion sites. He emphatically promised Governor Soludo that work will continue on the erosion sites.

Ondo State is currently experiencing a massive erosion of the Atlantic coastline in the oil and gas-rich Ilaje area and a lot of the Ilaje-Yoruba folks there have lost their ancestral homelands to the Atlantic. I saw a documentary on the Ilaje tragedy and a prominent member of that community pointed to a location far out in the ocean horizon and said that was where his house and that of others used to be located. My jaws nearly hit the ground because the location where land used to be was very far out by several kilometers into the ocean!

This is what would have happened to Victoria Island in Lagos State if Bola Tinubu as the then Governor of Lagos had NOT come up with the Eko Atlantic City idea with the private sector because the Federal Government at that time was just pussyfooting while the highly embarrassing Atlantic ocean surges swept right through Victoria Island and environs.

I would advice all the states affected by sea and gully erosions to follow the lead of Lagos State under the then Governor Tinubu and partner with private companies that have specialties in these remedial or land reclamation projects while also working to energise the Federal Government/NEWMAP initiative on gully erosion.

I know the president's duty is to help all. But y'all keep heaping it all on him. What about those before, especially Jonathan who happens to be from that region.

Konquest:
The soil type, human activity and poorly constructed drainage systems that have NO final termination points are MAJORLY responsible for the horrendous soil erosion in the South-East with Anambra being the erosion capital of the world according to Governor Soludo. About 10 states in the South East, South of South, and South West are affected by erosion issues though.

Indeed, I agree that the Federal Government in Nigeria must set up special intervention funds to assist the states because the cost is huge and that's why I suggested using preventive measures to start with in those states especially Anambra that has 40 percent of it's total landmass under threat.

While we go about our daily activities, our Gallant Soldiers are out there in North East, fighting Boko Haram terrorist .

Some of us have lost loved ones who are Soldiers, in the War against Boko Haram in the North East. But their dead will never be in vain. Boko Haram will be history soon.



May God protect our Soldiers.

Tinubu has not spent a year as president. What did Zik and alcoholic Ironsi do? I won't even talk about the other national leaders.

The last paragraph cracked me up.

Tbh, the erosion problem in Anambra State and other places would cost those states millions of USD to fix and they simply don't have that kind of money. So, it's best to just create proper drainage systems, plant more trees and avoid rapid deforestations as preventive measures.

Indeed, Reno is absolutely right with regards to the reclamation of lost land (due to the Atlantic Ocean surges) to create Eko Atlantic City which helped to STOP the horrendous floodings back in the 1990s and 2000s that overtook Victoria Island around the Modupe Osikoya Street, Ahmadu Bello Way, IMB Plaza and adjoining areas.

Victoria Island would have been completely submerged by now due to climate change and increasing ocean water volumes. In the 1950s and 1960s, the vast lands at the Bar Beach area still existed but gradually got submerged and lost to the Atlantic Ocean. Eko Atlantic City is a brilliant public-private partnership masterstroke from the then Governor Bola Tinubu of Lagos State and Gilbert Chagoury's company and that saved Victoria Island, Lekki/Ajah areas from total submergence by the Atlantic Ocean. Though the land is quite expensive to get as of today, the U.S. Embassy has invested in huge tracts of land at Eko Atlantic City and that shows how much confidence the U.S. goverment and others have in the ongoing real estate development at Eko Atlantic City.

meditator:
The question is, is what Reno saying true or not ?
Does Obi have anything tangle to show as the governor of his state for 8 years, apart from making intoxication available ?

Why can’t they just divide this country

Okoro, how does that change your home from Umuleri to Lagos? The owners of the crude oil are not the ones that want to die on top Lagos matter. The owners of crude oil are proud of their roots. They are not desperate people. Attache by force, rest and be proud of your lhomeland

lagonovo:
You are deluded. Plain and simple. Go out on the streets and face reality of practical politics. Before crude oil became valuable, Nigeria existed and comfortably too so shove that.

lagonovo:
Not sure where you think you are but this is Africa and we all have our homes, or you think you don't have one? Better start asking questions around your family to find out if you were not banished. You have a home, you have a lineage, you have history, and you can take all that to the bank. All lands in Nigeria belong to Nigerians and Aba, Owerri and Awka undisputably belong to Igbos, Lagos and Ibadan belong to Yorubas, We all know the owners of Daura, Gboko, Damaturu, Uyo, Abakaliki.

Try living in Damaturu as Ifeanyi for 40 years and wake up one day with posters of Ifeanyi for Governor of Yobe State. Even you yourself will find out it sounds more like a comedy skit. Same way for a Danjuma living peacefully in Anambra State for 25 years. So where does your claim of ownership start and end? Face reality bro. Every African has a homeland and we also have our country that we all share together towards unity in diversity even if it was forced on us, we are that complex but that's how we roll. Stay on your lane.

Useless people. They closed camp because there's no opportunity to do bunkering business there. When their colleagues get killed in the south, they will post about "audacity" on twitter and build new barracks in the area. Idiotic cowards who flex power only on southern civilians

this is not Lagos,this is Ibadan ,read before jumping into comment section.

Meanwhile,imo state where you come from need the development

Charity begins at home. Show us the way in your homeland first before enforcing United Nations directives on Yorubaland. Niger Delta people are not complaining, they have no agenda on other people's homeland.

chopnaira:
Yes, they will receive maximum shishi if they continue to meddle into our local politics. You will only cry and report to the United nations as usual.

Ronu children of the evil Forest will never condem actual violence being meted out to people who just want to vote. No they won't.

When you ask them why the violence against these people,they will say because they abuse online..

But when actual violence and killings and deaths is being meted to we Yoruba's by terrorists from the North. Those Ronu people will go and hide their miserable faces. You won't hear them say a word.

What does that say? They are cowards who doesn't care about the Yoruba People. All they want to do is to grab power and nothing else

They don't care if our kings are being killed from Ekiti to Oyo and our people are raped and kidnapped. All they want is political power why shouting Ronu all about when in actual sense they do not represent our people

They are nothing but fake Awoists
