“We know the problems confronting us as a region which includes kidnapping, theft, arson and herdsmen attacks on our people.

“It has reach an alarming height and we need to beef up our internal security; all stakeholders in the region should collaborate to find lasting solutions to the hydra-headed security problems confronting us.”

“There should be speedy action to halt this sad development, we condemn xenophobic attacks in its entirety and we urge our citizens to give peace a chance.

“Nigerians should not result to vandalisation of their investments in Nigeria in retarliation to South African xenophobia,” he said.

The Chairman, Conference of Speakers of SouthWest State Legislatures, Mr Bamidele Oleyelogun, called on political stakeholders in the region to promote even development.

Most of those houses were built when your ancestors were still living in trees like wild monkeys. As at when they were building storey buildings, your elite were living in thatch huts.

I'll pardon your ignorance because you come from a place with no history and no future. You can't trace your history, why do you think you can appreciate history that you lack?

That's them..

That's why you use your Mothers for money rituals for you to get money to enter bus to Lagos.

Your parents would have been better off selling you in one of the baby factories that litter your muddy republic.

The way you people use heavy slaps and knocks to wake your mothers in the mornings.

You have been heavily deceived. The Okija you are talking about with few past issues has today become a small city with university and many companies. You didn't see that in Google, you only saw a 15 year old news which has since expired.
