press9jatv:
I stated the he was the first person to owed a motor park and he's a Yoruba man. That's what I stated but you have turned it to tribal issue in which it doesn't warrant it. Now bringing poverty to it which poverty runs in all the tribes in Nigeria.

I don't understand, is anybody dragging anything with the yorubas?

sustaining businesses long after the founder must have passed away is a problem in Africa especially in Nigeria.
most businesses don't pass over to the grand children and I think there should be a legislation where government takes over the businesses of late founders so that the job created by these founders should be sustained.
I know people would point to the fact that government businesses also collapses but this is due to lapses by way of weak institutions.

Every people have a trade. Perhaps you don't know, hence I'll forgive you.

Are you sure about the bolded!

Or do you mean a private transport company?

In Nigeria, all parks are LGA owned.

All parks, bus stop, garage are under the purview of the local govt.

According to the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria (as amended).

However Salam Agbaje happened in the 20th century.

Okay.

I really appreciate.
