This is what you call RIGHT THINKING LEADERSHIP. Yoruba leaders and legislators are not like those hungry red cap wearing cheap folks in the SE who sold their destiny for coins. Please, we need this ministry. I am composing and pushing it on the BB, FBK, Twitter until it gets to the Aboki on Top cheesy

Ok. I'm just wondering how far, the doings & undoings of Jonathan/his candidacy has divided us.

Anyways, I am a Yoruba man and a Christian, I wholeheartedly and lovingly voted for Jonathan in 2011, Against buhari and all other candidates, I was particularly happy when Atiku lost to him in the PDP primaries, but Alas, his performance especially in the aspect of corruption/impunity made me changed my mind concerning him because I was disappointed. Now I voted against him just like every true lover of our nation's progress will. But what we get from mischievous PDP is inciting our brothers from SS & SE to believe their "brother" was betrayed.

This is unfair for millions of southwesterners and even Northcentral/ Middlebelt Nigerians that truly believed in Gej and was on His side to herald the fact that a South South candidate must be given Nigeria's support to rule Nigeria, and hence voted him(In 2011).

Our South East Brothers especially are really getting it all wrong.

It was never about the West backing a Northern agenda. They argue the West did not criticize Obasanjo.

The level of awareness now in 2015 is different from the level of awareness as at 2003 when Obasanjo contested for second term. The social media was not yet alive then. Facebook was created in 2004, somany of the other blogs and our flexible access to the Internet came latter too.

Even then(2003), so many people dint have access to independent news broadcast like Channels & others. How many people had Dstv then, MAJORITY were all stuck to NTA, and thus cannot be really informed on the wrongs of Obasanjo. I repeat again, the level of awareness now is different from then.

Let's not give the Devil a chance. With proper leadership, we All need each other. One of the biggest Deposit of Iron ore in the world(said to be better than Japan's own) is in Ajaokuta(Kogi state-North central), Somany food items we need and consume are most suitably grown on the savannah soil of the farther North(E.g, Beans, Onions, groundnut, etc), The West has the only suitable land for cocoa, the major survival resource of the largest and most successful French speaking African country- Ivory coast. Oil deposits was discovered in Lagos, but no adequate commitment yet from any of our government to conduct more research and expand our oil deposit base the way US did recently and they stopped needing our oil.

Gold deposit is in Ilesa-South West. Gold is the leading natural resource of South Africa which many of us run to en mass for greener pastures, Tin is in Jos, Coal is in Enugu, Oil is in South South, How many can I mention? We ALL Need Each Other.

I Pray God will give us Unity, and Proper leadership, which we Lack, Need, Which I Crave For, and which informed many Nigerians Political Choice for Change in the recent past elections. May God Almighty Help us. Amen.

Lagos is our commercial capital,so it deserves all special recognition and support from the FG,including creating a ministry of Lagos affairs. Lagos is as important as the Niger deltan region.
Re: Buhari’s Government Should Create Ministry Of Lagos Affairs – Legislator by Afam4eva(m): 4:53pm On Apr 15, 2015
This is one of those topics you see and not know whether to comment or to cry. The brazen idiocy being exhibited by some politicians leaves a lot to be desired. Even more commercial cities like New York, London, Tokyo, Beijing and the lot have no ministry created specially for them but this politician without scuples deems it fit for a ministry to be created for Lagos. If Buhari is who they say he is, then i see know reason why he should not lock up whoever brougth this suggeestion as soon as he assumes office.

Onyi42:
A re-elected member of the Lagos State House of
Assembly, Mr Bisi Yussuf, on Wednesday urged the
in-coming administration at the federal level to
create a ministry for Lagos affairs. Addressing
scores of supporters at his constituency office in
Ipaja-Ayobo Local Council Development Area, the
legislator said that it would facilitate rapid
upgrading of infrastructural facilities in the
nation’s commercial capital.

Yussuf (Alimosho I), of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), said that Lagos should be
accorded the rightful federal revenue allocation
befitting its status as the nation’s commercial
capital.
“There is nowhere in the world that a national
commercial capital suffers the type of neglect
which Lagos has experienced in the hands of the
federal government since it moved the national
capital to Abuja in 1992,” Yusuf said.
He noted that seaport operations and massive
haulage business put a lot of pressure on Lagos
roads, and a dedicated Ministry for Lagos Affairs
would help arrest the decay of its social
infrastructure. Yusuf said such ministry would
also help Lagos to meet its rail and road network
requirements as one of the world’s most densely
populated cities.
“A city of more than 20 million people cannot be
adequately serviced by state government finance
alone,’’ he said, adding that the state’s revenue
contributions to the federal coffers needed
adequate reciprocation. The APC won the 2015
general elections at the presidential level and
also that of governorship in Lagos State, which
will see the party controlling both levels from May
29.

Yussuf commended his constituents for their
support, which he said, guaranteed his re-
election, promising to improve on his legislative
responsibilities. He said that the voting strength
of Alimosho remained the bastion of APC support
base in Lagos and stressed the need for greater
cohesion among the party members and
supporters.

The legislator also acknowledged the political
leadership of APC National Leader, Sen. Bola
Tinubu, whom he described as “a veritable study
in political strategies and national alignment”. He
assured the supporters that the state’s
governor-elect, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, would
improve on the performance of out-going Gov.
Babatunde Fashola who built on the foundation
built by Tinubu.

Yusuf, in an interview with newsmen, said that
the next Assembly would build on the
achievements of the present one to boost
development in the state. “The 8th assembly will
embark on more qualitative legislation which will
foster more development to various communities
within the state in terms of job creation and
human development,’’ he said.

Lagos is not a national Center cos only a group of one particular region can win elections in Lagos. The ministry of Lagos affairs is a back door to south west semi regional autonomy. Se/ss most be on the highest alert over such political arithmetic, and more of them are on the way.
