This one own na to dey do rosd , bridge, flyover, conference centers, government lodges etc. Good though, but there's more to building, construction, something that that speaks better value than the above mentioned is empowering the youth, people in general. I think government should prioritize more in job creation, empowerment and a friendly environment for business more. Because without a healthy and working people, the nation crumble even with all the infrastructures that sometimes make no sense to them

Gbam . Well said....
The kind of wickedness I see in ppl, I wonder what changed as soon as they landed abroad. Ppl lose their conscience and all that matters is what they can get no matter if anyone or ppl get hurt...
I have come to the conclusion that they were inherently evil even in naija but hardship or condition didn't allow them show their real colors...

Hello Everyone. Something happened today and I want you all living abroad to learn from this story.

So today, I got a call from a client I have not met before. During his introduction, he said he lives in USA and that someone referred him to me. I introduced myself aswell. After a short exchange of pleasantries, he went straight to tell me he wanted to buy plots of land in Lagos state. He said wanted an area that is already fully developed. He went on to mention areas like Egbeda, Ikeja, Surulere, Maryland, Yaba, VI, Lekki Phase 1 etc.

I told him there are no available plots of lands in these areas because they are Lagos Mainland and Island areas. These areas are already fully occupied with buildings. No virgin lands here. Even if he will see, he won't be able to afford it cos they will run into hundreds of millions which I know he doesn't have. I told him I once saw a plot at Ikeja for 450m and I know he doesn't have such amount of money.

He insisted he wanted these parts of Lagos because he wants a developed area he can buy a land and start building. He said some people have been telling him to check Ibeju-Lekki areas. I told him Ibeju-Lekki areas are complete BUSHY areas and if he buys there, in the next 20years, the area would still not have developed still.

I showed him some plots I have at Ikola-Ipaja area, close to Iyana-Ipaja and he loved it so much. The price of a plot there is about 35m with CofO. He loved it together with the price which he said he was very okay with. We discussed further on them and then he told me he wants to get five plots. Two plots for him and three plots in his children's name.

He didn't say anything about wife.

I agreed but his request got me so curious so I asked him a question.

Now this is where it get interesting.

I said "Sir, you are in USA and I'm sure you are living happy there, why did you decide to start buying plots of land in Lagos. Some buy maybe 1 or 2 but you are buying 5 at once. Why?

Do u know what he said?

He paused for a long while and said this....




He ended by saying he will get back to me before the week runs out so we can proceed on the purchase of the plots of land.

After the conversation. I just started thinking. His story is sad because it's a mixture of betrayal from people he loves and one of regret due to lack of foresight.

This is around past 1.AM here in Nigeria and am still awake thinking about it. That's why I decided to post it here so that our brethren in Diaspora can learn one or two from this man's sad story.

May God give everybody abroad foresight so that you won't wake up in 30 years time and start regretting that you did not do what u could have done while you were still young.

Who told you your bible has anything to do with the “Creator of the Universe”?

Do you even know that the so-called New Testament of your imported “holy book” was written by Anonymous sources?

“Matthew, Mark, Luke and John” are all fake names belonging to nobody.

Are you aware of that?

Are you aware that what I just told you is not disputed by the Church or Vatican?





That’s a bare-faced lie.

EUROPEANS and ARABS are the ONLY GROUP who have used RELIGION, ie Christianity and Islam as a weapon to steal, loot, plunder, and slaughter.

No other religious tradition has done that.

African traditional religion does not order its followers to go and slaughter whole nations and seize their land.

It’s your imported “holy” book that contains such atrocities.

@Otipoju

Succinctly stated.

The Oyo Kingdom's role is largely ceremonial and of course the Aare Ona Kakanfo, Gani Adams from Ondo State was appointed to that prestigious aristocratic position by the penultimate Alaafin of Oyo. It's even a blessing in disguise that these things are cropping up now, so that in the event that a Yoruba country comes out of a former country called Nigeria like the DEFUNCT Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and USSR, the various Yoruba cousins (States and Kingdoms) from Lagos, Kwara, Kogi and other contiguous States would know how to behave and respect one another from here on out.

The embrace of disruptive technologies, continuous human capacity building, space age tech and a robust focus on the STEM fields from the elementary years to grad school are what the over 70 million strong Yoruba folks spread worldwide in multiple economic capitals require. Same applies to other people as well NOT this lame quarrels over who has powers to issue aristocratic titles.

Sonnobax15:
. I understand and get your point my brother ....But I think I'll not be going to church for a very long time cuz I believe church isn't just a building but one's heart......

Sonnobax15:
. Bro,I have been consistent on every church activities....

When it's time for church donations,it's us the members who do that ,but when a member needs help from the same church,they turn him/her down and directs him/her to look up to God for that . No be witchcraft be that?

GhaliNaaba:
I know people are gullible as truth remains that Oonirisa of Ife is trespassing his boundary. He has no authority to make appointment that cover entire Yoruba land.
Alafin remain the defacto political leader of entire Yoruba race will Ooni is head of Aborisa of Yorubaland😂.
He can't only make appointment on Okanlomo of Odua not of Yoruba land.
Ooni has no empire.
He is a spiritual leader but has no authority that cover the whole Yorubaland.

foleskay:
Alaafin is not fighting or agitating for factory or industry In Oyo like we have in Lagos or Ibadan. The only university in that town is owned by missionary. The town is still having some 19th century look

A so called former empire. He shud take a look at fellow historical empire city states like Rome and London and see how highly developed they're. But this naive king isn't seeing in that direction,he's instead busy fighting for supremacy with the Ooni, someone that' has left him behind in the ranks. The fact that Obafemi Awolowo university is located in Ife and not Oyo is enough to convince to tell anyone that Ooni is not Alaafin mate in all ramifications. Alaafin is waving at an already departed bus. Mk him rest.

You said it all. I don't get these people. Is it that think goats don't feel pain or what - same way slave traders believed blacks didn't feel pain!


After all you typed here, you go still go chop goat meat. Wey dem kill, burn , boil and fry with pepper.























Therefore you mix hot water with pepper and pour it on the poor innocent animals!!!
Do you people realize you could easily have been a goat or any animal? All it takes is for your essence to be put into that animal's body instead of into human body. Pray you don't come back as a lower animal and have this happen to you!

Kids at 19 and 17...

What, they need to be worn Pampers?

If they were younger I would have understood.

19 years is no kid... even 17. The foundation of what he taught them as kids in their formative years is what is supposed to be carrying them at this stage.


It's now he wants to babysit them?
