Why do Igbos always need validation like this to feel good? This is inferiority complex, they should stop doing this. No other tribe seeks such validation to feel good in Nigeria besides Igbos, it's a major character flaw. Political power is d most important. How come those that they are better than have subjugated them politically and been ruling over them? The Ibo man lacks tact, am sorry to say. An Edo or Akwa Ibom man would be president before an Ibo man

It's not validation because they know their worth which makes them stand alone whenever need be. They are dismantling your age long propaganda when you had control of the media. The social media has been the biggest tool for dismantling those lies, so don't cry yet it's still morning.

Even the almighty USA doesn't fight it's wars alone.
You guys also had other countries help,why couldn't you still defeat them

So stop boasting when you had to beg and hire world powers to "defeat" your neighbour, it shows you are actually empty. Gave out your land (Bakassi) as a gift to defeat this same neighbour.

Who did the same wrong bombings of civilians of the past? Instead of finding solution they want to go the route of blame game

Lol, this one has run out of topic to bash Igbos and Peter Obi.

After all the Asslicking in the name of attacking Igbos, Tinubu still ignored him

Now he has reverted to his default mode of fake moral adviser

Princewill1:
Truth is, if govt wants to curtail Japa syndrome in the country, it's actually a simple thing to do.

Just by placing a 2yrs temporary ban of new passport issuance and renewal will do the magic and drastically reduce the Japa syndrome.

But the thing is the majority of those moving abroad are the youths who are in their military age. If there will ever be a revolution, they're the ones to make it possible.

The large population of youths facing economic hardship in this country is a time bomb and a threat to the kleptomaniac political elites. The politicians see it as a welcome development to allow them move abroad enmass to ease the tension at home and to prevent and any future mass revolt in the country.

You don't make a draconian law after Messing up the country. You can as well advocate a decree to ban foreign travels.

Solution is to find out why people prefer to sell all their belongs and run away from the country

This is so ridiculous

amadiama:
Local investors that will pay peanuts and yet use you like slave!

Don't forget all the banks in Nigeria are local investors

They keep leaving while we keep on looking for more foreign investors rather than plugging the hole that's making them leave.

How about grooming more local investors?

It's a Conference on climate change and United Nations sent invitation to people who can influence reduction of green house gasses and people that can promote awareness to devastating effect of global warming


PS: Only Government workers are entitled and can collect estacode from CBN as travel allowance no private citizen can get a dime


.

All of this to defend nonsense. Do you know what it takes to get a "pass" through the gate as a member of Nigeria delegate? Why did UN countbthemnif think it's all about estacodes? Same way we have a large but useless population is same way we recorded 3rd highest but useless delegate.

These people go about looking for all the useless abandoned project that will benefit them

Over 1000% increase just like that.

To make it worse, they went with participants that know next to nothing

LASMA will soon tell us the bus did not get proper licence to operate in Lagos.

They will show you "evidence" of how the owner parked it across a gutter

They used it to settle friends and family members, people that have zero understanding of what the summit was all about

AntiChristian:
Thank God na Abuja the man talk am!
Make he no go SE for the next 200000 years because over there they inherit enemies!

Once a tribe/person(s) has been tagged a bad name like this, the next generations inherit the tag!

I hate that victimhood mentality and blaming others for the woe you caused!

An Igbo man was the one who stopped each region in Nigeria from controlling their resources! But you'll never hear that from them!

Even in 2023 you are still regurgitating nonsense. As much as you are telling a lie, what stops your people from reversing the policy? Do you know how many policies have been reversed? Butthey wouldn't because you are talking nonsense.

This one keeps speaking as if he's the king of Ebonyi.

Nigeria needs unity but Umahi should stop speaking like an emperor, he doesn't own Ebonyi

Pakute:
The data were in percentages, which implies that a region with a smaller population and a relatively high number of students could give you a higher percentage while a region with a bigger population with a relatively high number of students could give you a lower percentage.
SE possibly may have a lower number but have a higher percentage.

In other words, the North should lead in absolute value since they have the larger number right??

You see how this your postulation doesn't hold? If I were you I'd spend time researching why education is falling in your region. How come the Igbos are leading every other group, do they have the least number in population going by your postulation? Givevthem their flowers, they deserve it

Entprys:
Why wasting such money in a town where nobody is at home ?

Check statistics and tell us how many states in Nigeria are more populated than Anambra, better face reality. Anambra is top 10 most populated states in Nigeria, these are people living in the state and dies not capture those outside the state

Father4all:
Not by building. But can they maintain it.

You can build your own with your money and teach them how to maintain it, does this look like a govt project?

Omoawoke:
You guys can do better.

Ibadan alone is greater than the entire southeast.

Before southeast will near one tenth of Southwest achievement, it will take a century

Inferiority complex

Entprys:
Why wasting such money in a town where nobody is at home ?

the infrastructure draws people to the town. That's similar to govt citing universities in a village

My former boss: an expatriate demanded we call him strictly by his name even though he's also far older than us.

We too like "respect and title" in this country

The more Ronu people damage Lagos the more Igbos turn East for their business and development. Let them continue, a people that survived Civil war, post civil war, siezed and stolen property, anti-East policies, is it demolition of few houses they wouldn't surmount?

There is nothing as good as having indigenous investors. Money made in the state is reinvested into the state thereby creating more wealth for the state and the country.

People ignorantly celebrate foreign investors at the expense of local investors forgetting foreign investors are here to make money and send the profit back to their country.

Great news from Anambra

abdeefggh:
I know it might sound funny but igbos landlord in Lagos no suppose pass like 2%.

SS people (especially their politicians) even have houses more than igbos by far.. Most of the people shouting here have not stepped in Lagos before

No be by noise.

Check the names of the people that went to court to stop the demolition of their estates in Festac, all of them are yorubas

I doubt if your IQ is upto 10. You thinks it's by typing nonsense, it shows the level and quality of your daily thought processes and how far you can go in life.

See lies, go to Abule Ado and tell me where they got the statistics from.

If you are doubt check the voting pattern of that location.

If after 60yrs nothing has changed, will it ever change in Nigeria?

The descriptions here still holds sway today regarding tribal relations in Nigeria

Proactive measure is still the best. The govt should find means to proactively prevent people from.building wrecklessly, it should not be a thing of pride to go about demolishing houses, it lacks human face and empathy.

If there are no proactive measure, 20years from now the next govt would still be demolishing houses and the cycle continues. Some people stubbornly break-through law but there are others that genuinely didn't know some of the lands belongs to the govt because there are no notice anywhere for people to see. Some that even go to the govt office to check might still be scammed.

It's not enough top post a picture of a house blocking a canal and use it as an alabi, what about those in Abule Ado, were they also blocking the canal?

Gajagojo:
So what if government agent knows about it?Does that make it lawful?
Don't government agents know when government funds are stolen?

There is no solution in just demolishing houses up and down, everyone loses including the govt. Govt should be proactive and prevent this mess by stopping them early. If govt knew all along and kept quiet then the blame goes to the govt too. "Delay dedaets equity"

Gajagojo:
sentiment and village logic
I don't know why many of you reason like villagers
How is that relevant?
Is that new or strange in Nigeria
If he has approval he should bring not out. All this village logic is irrelevant in Lagos state

City logic would have helped you know you can't build this kind of a house in this vicinity without govt agent knowing about it. To the point of blocking a canal.

If a Canal can be blocked like this and the govt is unaware, tomorrow a major road can also be sold and blocked and govt would also not be aware
But like a typical African that will never interrogate an issue. Rather, let's pass judgement, demolish and move on.

Gajagojo:
Who told you anyone approved a plan?

So you believe someone in this kind of neighbourhood will build from start to finish without govt approval?

Where were they when this foundation was layed?

This is a major canal not gutter, does it mean anybody can wake up and block a canal for several months yet the govt is unaware, it shows the corruption and inefficiency in the government itself??
