playapayaski:Some of them just want to believe what they want. How much has Lagos State recieved that they wouldn't have made in just two weeks if the state has not gone into lockdown. Come to think of it, of these aids they collected they had built numerous care centers, spent many on awareness on media houses, and distributed palliatives. So, who's loosing? How would a sane person thinks he's coasting home because he got N2 not working when he should have gotten a guaranteed N20 going to work. Some people's way of thinking belies their literacy! As you can hear them speak, it can be real in America, UK and other advance countries even in Saudi that have lock down Mecca, one of their source of income but it is a scam in Nigeria, like WTF? We need to change our orientation in this country I swear. |
Goke7:Of course, TOLERANCE. That's the problem. I take it that you understand yoruba very well. The elders say this sage in this situation: "Ti Eru ba pe n'ile, ohun naa a maa b'awon bu alajobi'. They've been tolerated too much, that's why they think they're made. As for your earlier post, I understand they may have it difficult to work together which is why I put the need (to work as one) as the only nemesis. How would they when they'll need to agree which of the states, between Rivers State or Cross River or even another, to put as the capital? Of course, they all have oil that should catapult them quickly into good development but with that come the need for food and other essential supplements. They will be fine with importation from both the West and the North for food and would have to dredge port(s) to serve them and their eastern neighbours especially for export, I think they would have to focus on industrialising their regions too. They will also need to create the market to push their commercial reputation up a good step. All these need focus, good policy, unity and good sense of direction. It'll take time too which means the whole region might not be able to wait so long while their general resources is expended on a front. If they try diversifying, the development gets longer but in the end, they will get there subject to crude oil remaining an essential world commodity. It may take 50 years, it may take 100years but they'll get there. By that time though, except the South-West are not serious, we should be miles ahead. With less population, Lagos should have improved on infrastructure and housing and regained its ancient days reputation that should be attracting many other Africans into it for greener pasture as of old, and as the giant of Africa. The SS would develop individually albeit slower than collectively but they would still be the ones to challenge the South-West if their politicians throw away their greed and focus on development. That's just the way I see it. |
Enlightening! Wow, great Lagos! Now greater Lagos! |
Goke7:It becomes so shameful when you realised that the most educated among them still exude ignorance. They'll rather dwell on what their grand-parents who were less educated told them without seeking the right story from the right source. That's why you see most of their newscasters spewing rubbish that are tainted with half truth, half lies and illogical submissions. I just can't deal sometimes when listening or seeing what lies they continue to tell themselves all the time. If not for our greedy politicians, I don't see why we shouldn't support a break up. I see us standing toe to toe with the South-Southerners if not doing better and that's if the SS quickly agree among themselves to put their differences behind them and work as one. Otherwise, we'll be miles beyond all other region in no time after the brake-up because most of our states had already defined their potentials which would be worked on and complimented. |
Redcrafton: Redcrafton: Redcrafton:I think you seems lost and greedy for wanting what doesn't belong to you. I may not offer you my time again after this; pardon me if that's too harsh. But then, to respond to your posts, while Zik came in, what rescue did he do to Lagos politics or any part of Lagos? What tangible political resurrection did Zik do to the state of Lagos? Was Lagos in disarray politically prior to his arrival? If yes, what happened and what were cause(s)? If no, how then did Zik rescue Lagos politics? Who was feeding you that thrash? My dear, Zik was just a politician, like the Sir Ahmadu Bello, Yar Adua, Obasanjo et all and and he'd done nothing worthier than any of those leaders of his time. Infact, but for time, I'd have gone deeper and you'd have seen the contributions of others that humbly belittle what you might've been fed SAVE LIES OF COURSE. Yet, contributions of each and everyone of them finished around the IKOYI, Dordan Baracks, Obalende, from where they governed. It was until Mobolaji Johnson was able to secure governorship right that the Ikeja, the Surulere (of the time), the Lagos Mainland, the Third Mainland, the Idumotas and other notable development started springing up. Eventhough there were some the Federal Government supported the sate in finishing like the Third Mainland, most of these were facilitated through the purse of the state. And need I remind you that the contributions of non-yorubas will definitely amount to nothing other than like that of any foreigner should this 'One Nigeria' falter. Why? Bounderies! The American you brought as example belong to the Americans. No European, African, Asian can lay a claim or stake in it? Infact, anybody other than the Americans are subject to approval by the authourity before they enter the States. And even so, any of them can be deported (whether Italian, English, French, Irish etc), save only the Americans. In this case, America never belong to the Irish, Italians, Germans or any other because they had early settlers on the American land in the olden days. America is Americans. Lagos is for Lagosians (the indigenes) and by extension, the Yorubas through regional position. Respect bounderies. Goke7:You guys are actually the ones giving them the audacity to lay claim. What happens in America that can't happen here? Is what's happening in America suggesting the opposite of what we've been telling these lots? Do the Germans have a claim on the USA? Who among the Irish, the Italians, the British, the French has? Who among them are on the necks of the USA or Canada (another country with good settlers from the German, French and English/Brits) over land-ownership claim? Except exempted due to bilateral agreement which may exist between two countries, who among the citizens of these countries would enter into the USA/Canada without visa? The guy"s even forgotten he's African, a Nigerian for that matter, whose ancestors unarguably also gained the right of being settlers after having initially gone through slavery and then, war. We have black Americans around to support this claim, so what's he waiting for? Why isn't he laying a claim to the USA? Why's the USA even banning some Africans from entering their country? If he think early settlement means ownership or claim on a land for fellow tribesmen/countrymen, why do the French needing a Visa? Why's he himself having to go through the embassy when he knows his ancestors had paved way for him? Why does the American needing embassies in Germany, Uk or France since by his permutation, they should be citizens by right? Please, bro, when these guys talk, don't massage their ego. When this union breaks, I repeat like I've always said, he'll know the worth of their clans in Lagos. The real owners will manifest. Thanks for your time. |
Redcrafton: Redcrafton:The Germans, the English, the Irish, the Italians you talked about met an almost empty land save for few indigenes scattered around. And it's not just the New York, it's the way throughout the Americans but that doesn't make America or NewYork a German, Irish, Italian, an Engliah or French country/state. The only people who had stake threre now are all Americans with ancestral traces to wherever, Nigeria included. Any French who resides in America is just a resident until the authourity comfirms him/her a national. Same goes to the English, the Irish, the German, the Italian, the African (I keep putting the Aficans you omitted because they also won right to the country after the masters/slaves war of the seventeenth/eighteenth centuiries and majority of their great grand offsprings are even in the New York and other American states now code-named black Americans). The fact that these countries have ancestors who had claim to the nation of American doesn't mean their citizens have equal stake and claim. They have nothing. Some of the African countries are even under visa ban to America right now. That tells you what you need to know The Edo people who settled at Isale Eko, the Oke-Ogun/few other westerners who settled at Ikorodu, the Brazilians/other South-Americans who settled in Isale Eko as well and many other settlers on the Mainland are now part of Lagos but that doesn't give any indigene of Edo, Oke-Ogun, South-Western States, Brazil, and/or other South American countries whose ancestral lineage or otherwise were among the early settlers any claim or stake in the state. Get it! So as you can see, you guys are the actual ones not enlightened. |
Redcrafton:It amazes how you guys go about this your 'audio' contribution to Lagos development. To start, which record showed the people of South West only started migrating into Lagos in the middle or even early 20th century. Do you know whom the Tinubu whom her supposed-image is at the Marina was? Did you know her state of origin? Do you know the relationship the Egbas shared with Badagry and Dahomey? What about the inter-trade activities between these three environments centuries before the colonization? What about the feud and battles between the dahomey and the Egbas? How were they migrating... i mean the route? How did the Yorubas spread across the West African regions? I merely brought up the person of Tinubu to show the Westerners had already flooded Lagos centuries before your 1800. Many Obas had ruled and gone in the city as well. And oh, yeah! the city had been attracting traders all along. Even the Tinubu I mentioned came into Lagos from the Egbas for trading. And don't think Lagos started and ended on the Island back then. what happens to the Olotos, the Alaketus, the Ojoras of the time? By that eighteenth and nineteenth centuries you mentioned, record had it that the Mainlands were attracting and experiencing commercial activities too. Farming was lucrative and many new-comers were stepping in. You can google the comprehensive history of Lagos before the Europeans to know more. What compensation will you get if we split? Don't fool about, bro. Nobody'll stop any institution who intends to move while others who stays will be regarded as another foreign company like the African countries', the Westerners' and the Asians' already in the country. Whichever one that leaves only leave opportunity for another individual to take up the mantle in an already blosoming commercial environment. Banks would leave and more banks would be established. Whatever leave will have another in its place immediately because of the already viable commercial environment of the state. And as per the ports, Lagos is already overwhelmed. That's why the state is going through a stress of creating another port in Lekki and proposing creating another in either of Badagry or Ikorodu. Yet, Lagos being Lagos would always attract serious port activity. When the Abuja Nnamdi Azikwe airport was being built, being the new Capital, some people were of the opinion that Lagos port would be relegated to the back burner until the reality stepped in. Lagos MMI remains the numero uno still and ask anybody, international airlines have to sometimes stop at MMI to fill some carriers because Lagos has more passengers on ground while they are half-empty from the starting-point. When the other seaports were working in the eighties, did it take any shine off Lagos? I bet, the population of travellers and importers/exporters from the Yorubas and other landlock African countries who had been dealing and who may intend to deal with us should be enough to keep the state going fine. With the revival of Agriculture and other mineral resources in house, there should be good exportation and importation to keep going fine. So, how do you think because a region is spliting out, the whole world would collapse? Wake up bro, it ain't happening. ps: I should be able to give you link to show you Lagos was in existence beyond your imagining 1800 or 1900 as quoted. But later. |
Abia1stboy:The first pic sure wasn't good enough for a renovation but we can all point fingers in the right directions. For crying out loud, those pictures you posted shown a societal infrastructure that had delapitated overtime. It didn't happen right within the 100days of office of Hope Uzodinma, lecture me if I'm missing something here. Now, it boils down to the main question we should first ask ourselves instead of finding an easy scape-goat: what has the previous administrations been doing to have left a society this bad for the new one? Is 100 days enough to have these issues completely fixed? If we must probe the present administration for slow response to the rescue of these infrstructure, we must also blame the previous ones who brought about the situation in the first place. Take Lagos for example. By the end of Ambode's tenure, most of the roads were in bad shape. Sanwo Olu came in and started a refix. If we must blame Sanwo Olu for improper, subpar job or even a slow job, most of the blame must also go to Ambode for leaving them in bad state in the first place. That way, we're laying down good example for the present ones that their sins would never be asked from the coming administration but that history shall forever remember their exploit; exactly the way it's been. Time we started poiting fingers the right end. If Hope Uzodinma's not responding quickly or properly to the fault of the previous govt, we can blame him for that but not for causing the fault. My take. |
This OP surely has a bias sentiment against the Imo government. The pictures he showed is like showing an estate from six different angles which in all essence does not in any way tell the true story of the situation on ground. Each state is much more than just a part of a street or an lga. And no state in the world has all its landmass entirely covered in development. They all have the outskirts which may not be good enough. So bringing in two pictures of dirty places while neglecting the core zones or center of the city development which should be the point of discussion is absolutely a misleading propaganda. The Op needs to grow up big time. I'm not an Imolite but you don't condemn on the back of the pictures of two tiny places taken from numerous different angles. |
What makes me think that Kyari guy wasn't treated in Nigeria. And I'm not even sure/believing the deceased buried was even his remains so I reserve the ultimate comment till the whole truth is blown out of the water. |
Redcrafton:You kidding, right? Everybody to have a stake in Lagos if the nation split? Like what the fvck? And what d'you mean by compesating other regions? What the heck for? Just pray the nation split tomorrow and see your true worth. Yet, that would never stop Lagos from growing because she'd always been at the fore-front before all you guys stepped in. It wasn't like the Brits or the Portuguese before them met a wilderness when they came, rather they met a thriving commercial center. So even if we care to shift the capital elsewhere after 'One Nigeria' might've been no more, Lagos would continue to grow and glow. Infact, I don't see beyond the city keeping its pedigree as the commercial hub of Africa. |
forgiveness:Exactly what I'd been telling some pals who are also in the habit of saying Lagos is what it is today because it enjoyed a good concentration of development from the FG and everyone. Lagos was a commercial center even when the portuguese discovered the Island. The history of the state showed it dealt in trade with these europeans long before the brits stepped in and had also been doing fine hitherto. It was even the reason why the brits later made it their chief abode because of all the already favourable factors in place. These guys just need to study the history of Lagos to know how maginificient the state had been doing long before other tribes came on board. |
Even though I don't support the treatment meted to her by the police, yet the clip seems not to buy with the sentiment that she was right in front of their house. By the look of things, she was headed somewhere before she was questioned. At this time of lockdown, movement is prohibited except you render essential services; and even so, the law indicates that you must go out with your I.D Card in case the authourity gets to question you. In this country we play the victim card too much. @Divineayo, @OpininionCounts, @Surulereman, @Wasi9ice, @BadBradley, did you guys read through my poat at all? The first line clearly indicated that I wasn't in support of 'the treatment the police meted out to her' but what I can't buy is the 'she was beaten in front of her house' the Op was trying to shove down our throats. Quite alright, we can blame the police for treating her wrongly but let's also give her her portion of blame for breaking the law. Simple. The analogy of this case is a guy who resort to thefting because the situation of the country is bad. In as much as we can blame the government for the poor standard of living, that would never exonerate the thief of the crime he's committed. Wrong is wrong, however we er we look at it. @Kingthreat, I want to believe you're well-trained much more than the trait you exude with that comment of yours. Yet, I can only advice you not to always let your emotion get the better of you another time. You can do better, thanks. |
Kudos. She'd better make it an ocean real quick. But she mustn't come tell us later some dick are undersize if she doesn't want Sango thunder to strike you. |
Perhaps, he meant his father. Is Tinubu the man at the helm of the government affairs? |
Whatever anybody wants to accept, point is, she'd said the fvcking truth. That girl somebody's wasting cash to impress is being fvcked anyhow by one certain dude somewhere without a dime. Until you're married be careful how you glorify those hoes. Many of them ain't worth the damn stress. |
ebonytarki:But you'll understand or believe it could be that easy if it were record of another death? How are some people like this? Are you sad some people are recovering or what? Even in Europe/America, they are having good numbers of discharge. It isn't like majority who contracted the virus die. Infact. the worst percentage is in America with just six percent of all the positive cases dead. So, how's this now hurting you? Let's agree we haven't been testing enough and there might be some carriers among us who are not showing symptoms but the fact that we have been quite doing fine without bodies lying around should be commended not sneered at or doubted. |
musictori:Please where in Lagos is this? Herdsmen:It's clear you're not a resident in Lagos; you might not have even been to Lagos before. Else you'd have known a crowd of that magnitude flocking out of a region would consist of a couple of tribes from around the country. Your tribe might even be part of the people you saw in that clip (and that's if the clip is genuine because there're many fake stories and videos around lately). Otherwise, name the part of Lagos your tribe is not present; either on the Island or on the Mainland. |
Lockdown continues. That's it. |
Just expect further days of lockdown slapped on the populace. |
I don't doubt the trism of this list but what I want to believe is the fact that the people who aided in compiling the list, (and whom I don't want to believe came into Nigeria but considered the environmental situations from wherever they are) only had their stop in either or both of only Lagos and Abuja (governance) And this, I think, don't translate to the reality in all part of the country.. |
15 to 20hrs, Ketu GRA, Lagos. |
Naijaepic:You can't be more right. We know them when we see, hear, or meet them. |
idealogical:That's why taking them serious in itself is crazy. Even the educated ones among them exude moments of ignorance that belie their literacy. Imagine the false stories a certain Nnmadi Kanu had been feeding them over the years and how they religiously believe and spread such across board. It seems the hate against the APC party (not merely other tribes because they still support anybody anywhere that hold any reservation against Apc) had just infected their brains the things had stopped working altogether. Nobody's stopping no-one being a critic but do that constructively. We know we all have to put the government on their toes but we must also be careful how we do this. Hate speech, propaganda, lies and all, ain't the best ways to go about it, I'm sure. |
Tmb78:Don't mind him. It's only bigot when it doesn't favour them. Had it been what I said's against another tribe (especially the ones he loathes), I trust he'd be one of those to like the post. Pathetic, ain't it? |
Heaven knows the height this girl would've been now if only she had simmered down a bit to claim what obviously was hers. But in one hell of a crazy moment, she threw away everything; maybe not everything because she still got some groove left in her. Mercy is also having a good time as the winner but had it been Tacha won, she'd have been a lot mountainous. She seems to have this aura that attracts and with her enourmous fan base then, brands would've been trooping to her doorstep and would've mandated or even relocated her to Lagos themselves. She'd have been the king of all winners the show had ever witness. But then, it seems you can't be greater than your destiny. |
ProfDview1:There are some events that directly and indirectly affect the nature of other events. Remember, the entire world plunged into recession around the 2014 to early 2016 owing to the same crash in the price of thIs black gold. It might be slight but it's going to tell on the standard of living (if it actually come to pass against my doubt.) Chineduokeanwu:We can only keep our fingers crossed. For an economy that rely excessively on crude oil, the crash's not just a disaster but also a bad omen of a big hell around the corner. I think, now's the time our government get extremely active in their bid to rejuvenate our agricultural sector because only that aspect could assure and insure us of a bright future. Having said that, I hold my reservation about this predicted price reduction until in reality. it happens by which time I think the effect will further crash the price of goods and services a bit more. And I hope it does. |
kalufelix:Now clean ya eyes and listen son, you don't have to cry over everything. The honest post was just to correct an impression; not everyone of us must swallow all cum, piss and poo you guys dish out. The Ibo tend to hype things a hell lot and when you look deep, you realise that hype ain't worth nothing afterall. And was that the reason why you throw that tantrum on my mention? Com"on, boy, you can do better. At least show a bit of a sign you got a nice training. |
