RuudVanNistroyz: Chief Olabode George has reiterated the allegations by former Managing Director of Alpha Beta, Dapa Apara, that the firm given monopoly to collect Lagos states since 2003, when Bola Tinubu governed the state is engaged in massive corruption and tax evasion.
And challenged EFCC to investigate the company that has been collecting Lagos states taxes for 18 years. For lazy Nigerian youths Bode George starts talking about Alpha Beta from the 1:40 min mark.
Landmack: Ur Lagos has monopolized the sea port na. And any talk about creating more sea ports in the country is the politicians from that region working against it...South East needs her sea port working.
Talk about restructuring and u see some pple running around and screaming like blind bats
Oga, stop this silly excuses.
One Port in Rivers State is working full time and in 2020, it even received the largest vessel to ever berth in Nigeria.
Akwa-Ibom State has started building Ibom Deep Seaport after Akpabio mismanaged the funds for Ibaka deep seaport.
On that bridge alone, 25 NURTW boys will collect money from every driver. When the driver gets to the Oshodi pedestrian bridge that's just few walks go Oshodi bridge(opp MECURE), they pay as well and if the move down small in front of union bank, they pay as well not to 1 NURTW boy
Excesses of nurtw boys made commercial bus increased transport fares and passengers bears the punishment
I don't use commercial bus btw as I prefer to use Uber if am not going out with my car
I stopped taking commercial bus because I see it as madness for me to be working for these agbero indirectly
You don't understand my points sir. Let illustrate it this way:
In Lagos State;
1) Crime rates is higher than other parts of Nigeria.
2) Internet usage and penetration is higher in Lagos than other parts.
3) NURTW activities, including collection of illegal levies is higher in Lagos than other parts of Nigeria.
4) Adult Literacy rates is higher in Lagos than other parts of Nigeria.
5) Money in circulation is higher in Lagos than other parts of Nigeria.
6) There are more vehicles in Lagos than other parts of Nigeria.
7) There are more hospitals in Lagos than other parts of Nigeria.
There are more Yahoo boys and Oloshos in Lagos than other parts of Nigeria.
ThEGodFaThEr106: Chief James Onanefe Ibori is a rat compared to a cat Tinubu in corruption. Tinubu is the General Overseer of Lagos state, the Daddy G.O of Lagos state treasury. Tinubu has milked Lagos State to the extent of turning most lagosians to owomida agbero which he sees as youth empowerment.
Who is your preferred candidate for presidency in 2023?
Ikegwuru: If we really love this country, one course of action is open to us. Only one. Gather all the people who brought Buhari upon us in 2015 and 2019, the ring leaders alone, try them for treason, find them guilty and execute them.
Femi Adesina, the intelligent young editor I used to read in the Sun Newspapers, is feeling the unpopularity of the government he is serving. He is having sleepless nights, knowing that his General has murdered sleep and fearing that Nigerians would one day rise against them, is always afraid of forceful change of government. He is actually surprised that we have not done so already given the mess which Muhammad Buhari has made of this country.
Citizens must arise. They must defend their country. I remember that Tinubu speech about Eisenhower, De Gaul,, Churchill emerging to save their nations when they were in trouble. Is it not clear to you all, the Nigerian masses, that you have elected for yourself a wooden Eisenhower, a dollish De Gaul and a bronze Churchill to lead you in moment of trouble. And to rub salt into your insult, the people who knew very well that the military General they elected is only but a strawman are at it again. They want to take over from him in order to multiply your sorrows. I pity you Nigerians. By next year, I will have a visa ready to leave this country in case citizens bungle their chances again. I will not perpetually wait on fools to see reason.
Believe you me, this country will collapse on your head if by 2023 you fail to take appropriate steps to rescue it from the vultures.
I went to one of the worst government secondary schools. During my set, we had no Physics teacher, no Maths, no English.
We had good Chemistry, Biology and Geography tutors though.
But I schooled myself, maybe its God's gift. I started reading Physics by Abot, P.N Ekeke, M & Parker at JSS3 even before I entered SS1.
I taught myself further maths to the amazement of my siblings and class mates. I wasn't an arts student but I read virtually all literature books and novels out of passion. Mention any novel or play used by literature students of my time and I will narrate the whole story for you.
The same applies to some of my siblings and even cousins then. We used to have family challenge within ourselves as to who would excel most in academics and scientific inventions. I wanted to be like Albert Einstein who was like my mentor. We constructed almost all the things we read from Abot, from electric bells, relay, amplifier system, battery, rocket (lol which failed launch), etc, etc.
Our house was like a science lab and research center plus mechanic workshop

Which school did you attend and which ones are your children attending now?
Anyway, such schools offer more than academic excellence. They help ensure the rich stay connected with the rich. Such connections are referred to as the human currency and it's just as important as any other currency.
You are right, however it's wrong to assume that children of the rich will always become rich and upper class or ruling elites later in their lives.
Conrod: Well,untill 99years or perhaps as long as ilorin calphate lasts,..,.ur decendants will have to fight to push off the igbos and hundreds of other nationals to reclaim their "fatherland" ....(something the british and the french want but cant do) who do una this thing ?.
You don't understand.
Even Yorubas in Lagos are also tenants because technically, the lands belong to the Government of each State. This is why the Government issues a certificate of OCCUPANCY (not ownership) to the person on the land for a number of years and it can be revoked in the overall interests of State.
BKayy: Gov. Obiano is the real definition of "You can never tell until you try it" Obiano is not competing against anybody but quack closet Anti-Anambra/Anti-Igbo Economists and Stereotypes. Those that waste all their time churning out propaganda/stereotypes that building modern facilities is a waste of time in Anambra/the entire East.
1. They said that a Mall will be a waste of building materials but Obiano built it Anyways in Onitsha to challenge the statistics. 2. They said that Anambra Airport will be a waste of money and rods considering its close proximity with other Airports but Obiano built it Anyways to challenge it, but the result so far, after two weeks have proved that Anambra does not need one Airport but at least three. Infact she should have been the first to get Airport before Lagos and Abuja
Now who knows what these new developments that the same Economists, studies and statisticians have criticised will bring to ANAMBRA. 1. Awka Millennium City 2. Onitsha River Port
2023: Willie Obiano for president/Aminu Tambuwal for vice-president.
owagbeba: Registered with CAC, correct! Anyone can register an association.
A government agency? No, but they are acting like an arm of government here in Lagos.
Are most of these commercial drivers in this association?
Why are they forcing toll on non-members?
It's an affiliate of the Nigerian Labour Congress.
They collect levies/dues in ALL States, not just Lagos. It's more obvious because most things (both positive and negative) in Nigeria have higher prevalence in Lagos.
heniford2: Nsogbu Ndi na ala igbo are bigger than asusu igbo if the villages can not stand up against it that means the want it
If the people of Opobo and Bonny are truly Igbo and want to identify as ignorance, they will resist any attempts to make them drop igbo language and pick up Ijaw language.
JOemmy: So all these threads on nairaland is what is giving ijaws hypertension why the insecurity? If bonny indigens are really ijaw people they are not supposed to be forced to speak and learn the ijaw language. Free these people abeg they might revote against the ijaw nation if they continue to be pushed too much this is the 21st century.
Nobody can force any tribe to learn and be speaking any language.
Sctests: Anytime I pass through lag whether coming into the country or exiting. Na Uber and Bolt I dey enter.
As a PhD holder in molecular pathology, I no fit suffer again for this life. Na your sufferhead coneskull I dey pity for, make hunger no go kill you and your poverty-stricken likes because of tribalism.
But your tribalism stink to high heaven and it's unbecoming of a Lab Scientist with Ph.D.
Poor people always have wrong dispositions toward rich people, this is worse if the poor is angry and worst if the poor is angry while fighting the rich.
[quote author=franchasng post=108340290]We have 3 major tribes in Nigeria, those 3 major tribes control the mind and decisions of the others politically.
Hausa-Fulanis control Kanuri, Tiv, Nupe, etc. Yorubas control some, while Igbos control some.
This is a big fallacy.
The people in each State control the State. Yorubas don't control Edo or Delta State, Igbos don't control Cross-River or Bayelsa State. Hausas don't control Benue, Borno or Taraba States.
clefstone: The possible outcome of making an Igbo president is as tricky as it is unpredictable. It would indeed decrease the biafra agitation in the short term but not thereafter. What works most against the Igbos is that they have not culturally assimilated the other major tribes in Nigeria. This is not meant to stir up any useless tribal war here but the truth is that the Igbos as I have studied, seem not to have been exposed to other people before the late 19th century. The result is that the average Igbo man has not learned how to live with other people in mutual respect and understanding. There is this fear, that an Igbo president may by this handicap of history make mistakes that would jeopardize the future of Nigeria(even though a break up may be in the best interest of everyone, emphasis on may)
What the Igbos must do is understand this historical handicap and open up their minds as a people to respect other people's way of life, acknowledging that their values is not superior to others, then they can be trusted with the presidency
You have a good understanding of the situation sir
franchasng: The only reason Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas are scared of Igbo man becoming President is fear of Southeast infrastructural development which will most likely make Igbo businesses to become more independent away from Lagos and Kano, etc.
They love the way they use 2nd Niger Bridge construction to brag as greatest feat they have done in developing Igbo land, when in reality, they know 2nd Niger Bridge is the least of infrastructures needed to boost Southeast economy.
Imagine removing a whole Southeast from the railway map but adding irrelevant Niger Republic and yet Yorubas who claim to be fair, and sophisticated politicians applaud this just because it marginalizes Igbos they so much love to hate while claiming to accomodate them.
Every little talk some Yoruba kids will be taunting Igbos to leave Lagos and go back to Southeast after using Eastern resources to develop their region. Instead of making that foolish remark, why not support peaceful exit of Southeast from your so called one Nigeria so that you can enjoy your Nigeria with the tribes you prefer and cherish init, devoid of the most baddest tribe Igbo that have been painting you saintly other Nigerian tribes bad
Okay, but what is the reason why Nupe, Kanuri, Efik, Tiv, Afizere and Chamba people don't support Igbo-for-president?
THERE WILL BE NO MORE REVENUE COLLECTION IN BIAFRALAND UNTIL MAZI NNAMDI KANU IS RELEASED UNCONDITIONALLY.
•••Simon Ekpa declares.
Date: 7th of December 2021....
The Apex Disciple of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on Biafra restoration have banned all sorts of internally generated revenue (IGR) across Biafraland in quest to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
Ekpa made this open in his recent but last broadcast aired on EnterBiafra broadcasting platform.
He pleaded on Biafrans at large to take note and create maximum awareness as the pronouncement will take full effect from Next week and precisely from 15th of December 2021.
"Our Target is getting to the Governors who have turned blind eye on the plight of the people. The live on the money they make but don't use it to develop the region. They don't use the internally generated revenue to build markets for the people.
For example, go to Ariaria international market; it's like a pig farm. They generate Billions from Ariaria international market but Abia state Governor is not doing anything to fix the roads and whenever there's rain, everywhere is flooded. So, there's no point of collecting the revenues.
And now, what we are going to do is to place 'economic sanction' on them and enforce it. So all our people wanting to enforce sit at home have a job to do. The job you have now is to engage every state revenue collector to quit before ONE WEEK (15th of December) We are giving them one week to quit and after that, they will be engaged. Let them bring their AK-47 to collect the revenues for them and let the Governors come by themselves if they think so. We will engage them and it's called REVOLUTION and at the same time CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE!
Our demands are simple:
1. Release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally.now.
2. Free all Biafrans detained in respective detention centres across the zoo.
They have committed no crime.
Self determination is not a crime under Nigerian Law. Not a crime in African charter for human and people's rights. Not anywhere in international law.
And Only Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be the one to stop whatever that will emanate from this Second step of civil disobedience.
I want everybody to understand this. The reason Politicians chosed to resolve Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's case through 'political solution' is because of the sit at home. The sit at home dealt with them! But they didn't loose money and l have to be very sincere because it's not about economy. They told us it's because of economy; that the economy of South East is going down, it's a big lie. Economy of South East can't go down because of every Mondays sit at home but let me tell you the Secret and reason. The reason is that it's a very big slap and shame to the Governors; that the people of this region have demonstrated beyond every reasonable doubt that they the Governors are not in control. It's a very big shame and that's why they are doing everything to see every Mondays sit at home stopped. It has absolutely nothing to do with economy.
Now, we are going to attack the economy! We're going to hit the economy and you are going to see a different reaction from them. Once we enforce the ECONOMIC SANCTION, they are going to be talking. You see these Governors, once they loose one week revenue, they are going to be talking because it's going to affect not the Governors alone but they L.G.A Chairmen. The people in charge of collecting revenues for them are local governments and Agberos. Those Agberos should start listening now or we begin to deal with them after one week. Now, l want you to go and check how much your L.G.A are generating from Motor parks, Market places, shops and the rest. Go and check it out! Our Target is going to be all those people collecting the revenues for the government. Repeat! We're giving you all one week Notice. After one week and we see you collecting revenue in Biafraland, you will be mercilessly dealt with except you relocate to Nothern Nigeria and live as a slave forever.
This is what l am introducing today and after this, we are going to introduce another step. It's step by step. We don't even necessarily need to shoot gun to win them. You MUST comply because we're fighting for you!"
Rugaria: Can you give me an Igbo word for "agbero"? Let's start from there.. Produce the Igbo equivalent of "agbero". Truth is that there was none until we met you guys and your "awo mi da" culture. Ever since, you have been corrupting the rest of us with your very achaic cultural practices.. Most times, some of us support this agitations because of the great worries we have over the unrestricted cultural influences that come with living in the same country with a people prone to all sorts of hedonistic owambe lifestyles..
Please just keep quiet, you aren't talking to kids.
So it's Lagos that introduce 'tax/revenues' collections in motor parks, markets and shops to Igboland?
DOTian: You yorubas should go and rest ! We're not competing with you guys. All we said is that you guys should stay in your beutiful country while we stay in ours.. Just look at the comments.. That Ladi of a guy.. You guys are petty beyond belief..
But you, Asgard73, PrinceOfLagos, AsampeteNnwanyi, mrvitalis NnwaanyiOgwashi and Pa Chukwudi44 won't be talking like this if it's Tinubu, Desmond Olushola Eliot or any politician in the SW that's giving out wheelbarrows on hired purchase to the masses.
gentiles: Yorubas are nothing without the rest of Nigeria. Go and check all Yoruba towns and 'cities' see how rural and backward they are, that is how backward oduduwa republic will be if they secede from Nigeria. Igbos also cannot succeed without Nigeria, forget all the noise they are making online. Igbos and Yoruba's are both chestbeaters, they are like empty vessels that makes the loudest noise.
Stop derailing the thread.
All posts on Nairaland doesn't need to end in Yoruba Vs Igbo inter-tribal mudslinging.
