olas2u: Lagos,Nigeria,West-Africa,Africa

Garri the 1st: Classic.

These folks seem to suffer from amnesia.

FRDChickenisha: Don't mind them. The lies they keep feeding themselves on and off Nairaland.

Waoooooooo . Aigbofa, so which one of them properties be ours?

solomon111: shut up.
So you want igbos to support a tyrant?
An open enemy of ndi-igbo.
Let me see any ACN/APC old scums campaigning for any political office in my area.
I go use stone break their head.

chino11: Apart from Lagos which was developed by FG as former FCT and early settlers of Igbos like (Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwus) etc.

Which one is developed SW? Here is the regional capital of SW..is this what you call development or slum and shanty development.

babe_online: Perhaps you guys were not allowed to succeed because of being stingy and self centered??
Whenever you guys wanna succeed you can. I will celebrate the occasion with the last cent I have.
If not that the Yorubas/Nigerians sent out the ONE MILLION Ghanaians that were in Lagos, they would not have a country today.
What we did with the Ghanaians is what we are doing with you guys.
Develop your states and be proud of them tomorrow, bloody parasites!

lastpage: I think it was Prof. Wole Soyinka that said and l quote:
"Bravery is not encountered in the recklessness of utterance or of action, but in a methodical assessment of any situation where, even if the odds appear to be against one, and the risks seem overwhelming, a choice is still made that embraces the inherent dangers in the pursuit of that reasoned objective". ... Wole Soyinka, 2006.

That the Igbo "sacrificed" 2-million of their sons just to prove they are BRAVE and SERIOUS can only be judged when we ask them: ..And what was the result? What did you achieve at the end?
Only a foolish lot can boast of sacrificing 2,000,000 foolish lives, just for NOTHING!
Intelligent people THINK FIRST, before ACTING

Even Ojukwu took to his heels and ran to Ivory Coast, leaving another 500,000 "sacrificial lambs" to their fate!

Unfortunately (and l've always said this), Yorubas are to intelligent and full of wisdom, not to be able to distinguish between what Prof Soyinka called "recklessness of action and utterance" on one hand, and "methodical assessment of the situation" on the other hand.

Every Igbo must make that Quote of Prof. Wole Soyinka, his "Daily Manna and daily Bible study".

As much as l would preach Unity and respect for fellow Brothers, from any part of the country, if every state wants to do what Fashola has done, then so be it.

Just ensure that it is the JOBLESS "foreign" DESTITUTES who contribute Nadda to your state,... that are deported back to Lagos.
Dont turn it to a witch-hunting exercise because again, using wisdom, you will realize that "Lagos has so much more "foreigners" to witch-hunt, if that game is to be played-out.

Instead of beefing Lagos, hold your Governors accountable.
*Is it Fashola' problem (or Lagos State) that 90% of the Roads in the East are not motorable? Please lets just be honest for once.
Fashola rehabilitated a few roads in Lagos (Herbert macaulay, Muritala Muhammed, LUTH area, Ojuelegba, e.t.c).
He is currently working on Ikorodu axis, Badagry Axis, even fed Govt road at Oshodi/Mile 2 axis

Where are the roads that Governors from the East rehabilitated ...or dont they also collect their own allocation and taxes?
Dont give me that "historical bull-shyte excuse about how Lagos was developed in the 60's".
From Jakande (except Thief-nubu) to Fashola, Lagos has been blessed with Yoruba Governors who "stole MUCH but developed the state a LITTLE.

The rest of Nigeria (especially Eastern states) have been blessed with "Criminal-Governors" who stole MUCH but developed Nothing. That is why the East is becoming uninhabitable for Igbos!
Thus, everybody is trooping to Lagos!

But what are you going to do about your Governors who loot your patrimony and use it to buy houses abroad, Private Jets (Even fashola, as rich as Lagos is must not dream of Private jet! Walahi, he go see red!) and send their numerous Girl friends on shopping spree.
Direct your "righteous anger" at your real enemy!
Stop chasing 'Ringworm', while your head is infested with 'Leprosy'! (Yoruba adage)

But you are ALL welcome to Lagos ... if you can get something productive to do! .... just like millions of Igbo doing business and making money at Aspamda, Ojoo, Alaba, Idumota, Ladipo, Sanya, Orile, Oshodi, e.t.c

Dont come to Lagos to become Ritualist, Armed Robbers, Kidnappers, petty thief or just a nuisance and burden to Lagosians.

This is a no-brainer, Its not about constitution, not even about 'reckless bravado', its about common-sense.
Use Wisdom please.

Caveat: I am proudly Yoruba, no shaking!

supaeagles: thats true but the same china also depends on USA for "consumer spending". Incidentally that has slowed and the Chinese are not able to generate the same spending domestically leading to a slowing down of china's economy.

P.Stacks:
Yet some people would come to nairaland to talk ill of America like America is the one behind all the backwardness in the whole Africa as a continent..

Yet Nigeria govt prefers to extend hands of followship to China No. 2 when Nu. 1 is there to work with..

Even China not too long ago signed a Trade deal with America.

China goes to America. We go to China that goes to America.. What's stopping us to going to America directly? Nigeria needs a mediator.

Big Thank you to the US govt..
In this modern day and age our Policing is still 18th century policing..

Adejoro74: Why can't these SWners do something and remain steadfast to it? Why must they flip flop all the time
Awo betrayed Igbos and is now begging in his grave
Tinubu betrayed Ribadu in the 2011 elections and later went to apologize and make up
Diya Betrayed Abacha and later begged
Fasehun Betrayed MKO (so far he has not recanted, but he will soon)
This senator now betrays the north after supporting them and voting for their child abuse
Oduduwa betrayed olodumare and was pushed down from the skies
The ACN governors pushed Amaechi to fight GEJ, only to turn around and ask him to make up with GEJ

I can go on and on.

anonymous6: thank you for the videos

winexviv: My intention for this is not to show off but rather encourage new comers. I'm still a full time freelancer but currently I earn an average of 300k per month as a developer. sometimes it will be more but at worst this is what I earn shaa.
So feel free to share your monthly income and let the tread continue. Goodluck

Doff_Man: Stop talking rubbish. Every tribe has a culture; good or bad. I've had to grovel like that in traditional wedding setting where I can understand its symbolic and tongue-in-cheek, and trust me, I did it with gusto! But to have to do it on a daily basis

Culture aside, what sort of person would require younger ones to constantly grovel in front of them to make them feel good and boost their ego? Where has centuries of grovelling got us to in Nigeria?

franchizy: I condemn dis arrest in its totality and demand 4 there unconditional release. The Federal Govt cannot judge dem wit Shekaus sins.
Infact d Fed Govt are not sincere neither are they telling Nigerians d truth. How can d same Fed Govt dat boasted of signing a ceasefire agreement wit Boko Haram arrest Shekaus inlaws.
Until d Fed Govt become sincere and appologize to d Northern Elders, they wil never win d war cos I strongly believe d Fed Govt needs d Northern Elders to end d war on Boko Haram.
Pls dis is just an expresion, let's ve ur own views on d way out. I don't wish to get anyone anoyed pls

50calibre: Nice one! This is designed to send a message to the US, that Nigeria is willing to forge new relationships with other world powers should its position and influence in Africa be undermined.

Please GEJ, add russia to your diary, after visiting china, schedule a trip to russia.
