I'm not happy.

why

We are not in competition with any tribe.

God bless you.

God bless Yoruba.

But they’re always in competition with us, so we need to be letting them know ahead.
They’re already calling Lagos a no man’s land, if care is not taken they’ll want to be governor.
Being proactive doesn’t hurt.

Lovely

[quote author=MarketDispatch post=119316012][/quote]Your crying is eternal in Jesus name amen.

Bbeautiful write-up or history . I thought some lunatics and morons says Lagos is a no man's land. I thought some lunatics says they owned and developed it. There is no single area where there names are mentioned not to show us their impact or contribution to the development of Lagos.
What a rich culture ? A very good upbringing and humble background if I may say. Great Omolabis.
Not a generation of drugs, yahoo Yahoo and, chest beating everywhere they go like MTN.
I'm not mentioning names o but in their usual character, they rush to attack you like wild hyenas without even reading the content of the article.
Their home is burning, killing and maiming the innocent ones,. Yuletide is here nowhere to go and celebrate else you're marked as sabo. Embarking on a futile journey leading by a lunatic from a foreign land. Yet still at the same time fighting their neighbours. Highly confused set of people.

They are in competition with us, but we are bigger than them. We are only look forward for those ahead of us not people behind us

Mandate2023:
Lagos state is always commissioning something good, no wonder the pigs are always crying while their region is being ravaged by killer herdsmen and foolish governors since 1999 with no tangible development

Tinubu laid a good foundation and lagos won't stop moving......despite being the commercial capital it still invested into agriculture (rice mill) while states that are suppose to be agricultural hubs r foolishly sleeping......with all dis the foolish pigs r still not satisfied but yet dey are ok with no development during obi reign as governor.......

But have you travelled to South eastern states?? If you’ve not you have no right to condemn those states because lagos was a capital and was far developed before independence.
Let’s try and be less tribalist and hateful

VEHINTOLAR:
Lol,Okoros from alaigbo are avoiding this thread like it's a kinda plague !

Apparently,another source of headaches for the primitive proponents of "Lagos is no man's land' ! Just like someone rightly said earlier on here,Yoruba are not in competition with any tribe,especially that insecure,primitive tribe from across the Niger ! We are the Omo Alades (Yoruba),Omo Odu - to - da - iwa,the great Omoluabis and we know our history right from Ile Ife to Oyo Ile and to the entire world ! We are the SHINNING GLORY of the entire black race - Ogo gbogbo Iran adulawo !

God bless the entire Yoruba land and all the Omoluabis !

You're blessed jare Omoluabi.
God bless Omoluabis
God bless our culture and our rich heritage.
Once again you're blessed.

We r talking about commissioning projects everyday u r talking about formal capital.......r the project being commissioned FG sponsored?

Ur leaders r giving u lame excuses that lagos was a formal capital, is that why others are not commissioning anything....u think if the government of lagos is not thinking ahead with the population do u know hw lagos will look like today.......when capital was taken away from lagos do u know the over head bridge today has 3 times doubled what was existing then......do u even know the kind of resources that has been channelled into transportation, infrastructure, economy, investment, education etc

Yes that’s why I asked if you have traveled there and you didn’t see any commissioned project but you dodged the question
You sit at home online and degrade another state you’ve never been too just because of tribalist sentiments
Answer the question have you been to anambra?

Besides the amount of people living in lagos more than anambra which makes them more developed, take a look at America a lot of diversity developes a place faster …its facts

Venerable612:
They dragged all the Projects and made sure they complete just in time before the next election to sway voter sentiments.

It would be refreshing to see a new party rule over Lagos but we would never find out would we? With Tinubu and his boys’ playbook.

Try that first in Delta and river before lagos.. Lagos is delivering on projects but you don't care to know how much pdp and ibori are devouring rivers and akwa ibom and delta state

tollyboy5:
I don't think it's the job of the government. It's investors that should open those place up to bigger investment.


Those place are majorly residential area tho.
At least what we need is more train so movement will be easier and that's what we've gotten.

Don't mind the fools.. That how 1 came under the cover of it will be nice for another party to take over lagos let them know how much is being looted.. He is concerned about lagos that is delivering projects. But 16years till date he does not care and want other party to take over bayelsa, delta, akwa ibom, rivers so that we can also know how much pdp and their cronies are dealing with the states. He does not care that not complex projects like is lagos are carried out in those states.. But he wants the working party and state to come to a halt just for him to see.. I have said it some people don't want the best for Nigeria and 90%of them are behind obi.. Ho and verify

Indeed. Others may feel the need, good or bad, to compete with us but we no send them.

For them it is "Eshin iwaju ni ti eyin n wo sare".
For Yorubas, we are our own challengers secure in ourselves and our ability.

All we have to do is find a way to live in Nigeria, with others, progressively and without 'one Nigeria' impeding and regressing us as is the case today.

As an example, my focus remains on the fact we can quickly create an intelligence and science-based policing model that can reduce crime at least 50% overnight yet we must contend with the moribund, worthless and archaic NPF full of I'll-trained thugs anyone with money can buy and control.

Same worthless force president after President fail to reform adequately yet reject the call for others to have State/regional policing!!

I remember going to Ghana not too long ago to find young, smartly-dressed and well-spoken staff in charge at Kotoka International Airport. The equivalent of our MMIA.

These young people were impressive and refreshing. They spoke impeccable English with men and women wearing smart blazers. The did not ask for bribes, perfumes or "wetin you bring for us". They simply assisted you satisfactorily and professionally.

Apparently the President, Akuffo Addo, a pal of Tinubu ironically, decided to sack all the old and sloppy former staff to replace them with brilliant graduate who then present the first impression of Ghana to the world.

Ghana has a near mono-culture of around 4 religiously moderate major ethnic group so they lack our feudal and ethno-religious nepotism and infighting. Welcome to a nation, unlike Nigeria, that can implemenf positive changes quickly and is not set up to be her own biggest enemy as Nigeria is.

What I saw in Ghana will never happen in Nigeria, as presently constituted, where the absence of a mono-culture and merit-based system will put throwbacks in charge of progressive folks unless we host regional governance.

If the Ghana President could not move as he did then thing will remain the same to Ghana's detriment.

Yorubas should agitate for what is shown below. All of us. It is not seccession. Merely a call to allow direct stakeholders control the political, socio-economic and administrative processes of their land independently .

The fact we are prevented from doing this is the greatest drawback of Yorubas in Nigeria today. We will never rise if our immense potential will not be allowed to define our lives, in our land, and deliver solutions for us.

Not sure your analogy is correct.

They have to deliver on projects in Lagos because the state has more informed voters. You won’t get a re-election if you don’t.

I just think Lagos need fresh ideas.

sqlPAIN:
I'm not happy.

Because you know as I do, that it will soon go to rot like that reimagined Broad Street prison and many others, since we don’t have a maintenance culture driven by free education for all children in schools with enough teachers

LILTJAY:
when will Ogun state governor commission a project?

You want the Eleyi that is owing November salaries without increasing the number of workers while growing IGR and loans, to commission projects?

Will the workers who are owed November salaries chop the projects IF he commissions any? Can they use pictures of the projects as legal tender for payments since they are owed salaries and pensions with their relatives being jobless?

Na how you reason the thing

If Lagos is not a no man’s land, please explain what Randle means in Yoruba.

I'm very sure you didn't read the full article but only picked out a name among the list. If I may ask the name Kehinde in the list. What is the meaning to you ? Abi the name sounds Ijaw, ibo, Nupe, Kanuri, or Isoko to you or what ?
Continue to show your ignorance in the public as usual. The developer.

Just llok at comment.. So rivers delta akwa ibom and bayelsa are doing good to you? If Lagos needs fresh ideas what does delta, rivers, akwa ibom, bayelsa need?

Is the thread not about J. K. Randle?
Is Randle not the surname?
Maybe everyone claiming to be a Lagosian is an undefined Atøhunrinwa like ThiefNuibu who has no primary nor secondary school certificate, and could be from Benin Republic even though they say that he is from Iragbiji

Shined Iyanmili, JK Randle is a Yoruba man. He is one of the returnee slaves back then. They usually have English name due to that reason.

You have lot of them in Lagos island bearing English name. They are Saro.

But why the thing come dey pain you? I know it hurts to see something like this because the sit at home in your landlocked terrorist infested region won’t allow such development.

What am I even saying. Do you even have a culture to exhibit?

You're not Yoruba, you are suffering from colonial mentality... because if you were you'll know speaking e:nglish is not a sign of smartness and intelligence..

and you also described as it as "impeccable English" meanwhile you have never ever complimented your fellow Yorubas and Nigerians for speaking "impeccable Yoruba" and "impeccable Igbo" and "impeccable Hausa".. you have never ever described the indigenous languages as "impeccable" and that's a sign of colo-mentality. you're colo-mental..

Nigeria already has mono-culture and merit based system but your colonial mentality is preventing you from seeing it...

In Nigeria, some regions speak one language and have one culture and that's mono-culture...

there's nothing like a Nigerian culture.. because the word Nigerian is not referring to any Ethnic group or Ethnic nation...

In summary, there is no ethnicity known as Nigerian..

Wait, don’t be jealous.

Yoruba culture is versatile and that is why we can have a center like this to showcase our beautiful culture. Don’t you just love the video?

Ibo don’t have culture so it will be hard to showcase what is non existent. Abi you want them to have a sculpture of a kid hitting his father flat head or you want them to show warrant chiefs you call igwe in the images?

He is not a Yoruba man...

He is one of the people who the bri:tish brought from Sierra Leone and gave a Yoruba first name and they tagged him and a lot like him as returnee slaves..

If you read the post. you'll have seen the part below..

naptu2:
His grandfather was the only black person that lived on the Marina in Lagos

why were other Yorubas not living on the Marina because they were against the Br:itish and the br:itish did not empower instead the br:istish chose to go to another country ( Sierra Leone and maybe Brazil ) and get other black people and give them Yoruba first names and tag them as Yoruba and empower them instead of empowering indigenous Yorubas..

and even in this same thread it says "ordinary Lagosians" didn't have their own parks..

naptu2:
Dr Randle also felt that ordinary Lagosians should have a park where they can relax in the evenings.

The good thing is the Dr R:andle had feelings for the indigenous Yorubas and sponsored and built infrastructure for the indigenes.. the good thing is he became Yorubanized and his generations also became Yorubanised.

naptu2:
Dr Randle then decided to do the task himself. He built a public swimming pool in the Onikan area of Lagos and handed it over to the Lagos Town Council to run. He went as far as donating money for the maintenance of the pool. That pool is the famous Onikan Swimming Pool.

Did you read the article? Where was he enslaved from? Who brought him from Sierra Leone?

The kind of things that you see on Nairaland because of ethnic and political differences!

Anyway, there is no need to take this kind of comment seriously.

Dr John Kehinde "JK" Randle was born in Sierra Leone in 1855. His father, Thomas Randle, was a liberated slave from Oyo, who had settled in Freetown. He later moved to Lagos. John Randle attended the CMS Grammar School in Freetown, Sierra Leone,
