Agreed, my argument is misplaced priority. Statue is good but is it the important thing there right now? Paris didnt misplace priority and thats why we go there to take selfie. So should we now include fish statue as one of the achievement of Ambode by next yr. You see is laughable...for now what we need is productivity, Nigeria is not yet matured as tourist country.

Agreed,Misplaced priority.
But what should Ministry of tourism used their budget for? Or should the ministry be scrapped?
What about the hundreds of Art graduates, they should remain jobless right?

It was learnt that Asa, which is also known as Agere in other parts of Yorubaland, is a traditional festival of man walking on long stilts to entertain the public.

At an elaborate ceremony attended by many traditional rulers and community leaders in Ikorodu and its environs, the revival of Asa also featured the launch of “Asa Arokolo”, a book on the festival published by the Ikorodu Division Rebirth Foundation.

When will "REAGOS" state erect the statue of Chukwu Obuko Kerewawa. We will not take this. Reagos is a No man's land.

What is the function of the fish..?? To me Nigerians no need all these, that fish statue could have empowered 5 young guys with 2m each. If this is done as lottery ones a year...God will easily pick somebody call and live will change.

Crap
What is the function of the Eiffel Tower in Paris? Eiffel tower could empowered more than 1000 youths too nah? But nigerians travels to Paris just to take a selfie with Eiffel Tower. Maybe you don't know there is a ministry of tourism saddled with the responsibility and funds to improve the state tourism status.
Epe is synonymous to fishing, hence the fish statue is a reflection of the peoples History, profession and tradition.
Not some random Zuma, sire leaf etc statue.

Unlike northerners who ignore other areas of the country when they get into power; an average igbo person was raised with a sense of justice and equity.

The problem with Nigeria is that most northerners ruling Nigeria were not raised with sense of justice nor consideration for others. So they dont understand the concept of live and let live

What a lame excuse
So equity and justice to you is embezzling funds made available for infrastructural development of your region, and doing a quack job that didn't last up to 2 years?
One thing I detest about you guys is this attitude of blaming others for every of your predicament. shifting responsibility here and there.

For over Four years Igbo's were the minister of aviation, you didn't hear any Igbo shouting about Enugu Airport despite the fact that innocent/mumu GEJ made enough fund available for the project.



To God, una mata tire Mattias.

Madam, Stella Oduah and Osita chidoka were your daughter and son that held the Office of the Aviation Minister for 4yrs combine, about 2years ago.
You never laid a demand on them on the Enugu Airport, when they were brazenly looting funds for the project (Oduagates), you guys were busy shouting leave our daughter alone. You can't eat your cake and have it. Who could have ever belief that this is a project less than 3yrs old.
what you can't demand from Oduah and Chidoka stop demanding it from Hadi sirika.

Cjrane2:
@bolded. Sometimes, i am tempted to ignore hypocrites like you. Look at you asking me about how a facility in Abuja is treated versus a facility in Enugu? Even if Reps talk or not, Abuja runway will be built.

So, what has been the nucleus of our argument since? Is it not the criminal neglect of facilities in Enugu and southeast in particular by the Buhari regime, compared to how similar facilities are treated in other parts of Nigeria? So , why are you citing that a second runway will be built in Abuja, when we know it is not in the 5%ers part of Nigeria?

Kaduna airport's ENTIRE runway (3.25 KM) by 60 Meters was resurfaced and the new terminal building brought to a reasonable level of completion just because it was going to take diverted flights from Abuja airport for 3 months!
Yet, POTHOLES in Enugu international airport runway could not be patched by the same "Federal Government", the same government cannot build gutters to channel away flood water from the old terminal building for 2 years now.
Dude are you normal at all?

Why didn't you ask Stella oduah and Osita chidoka all this?
When they were both siphoning funds (Oduagate) meant for the project you guys were busy cheering them on. Your chorus was " leave our daughter alone".
Who would have imagine that an Airport project that cost the nation huge amount will be in this state of comatose in less than 3 years. Just look at the runway like anambala road.
what you refuse to demand from Oduah and Chidoka don't demand it from Hadi sarika.
Try and be responsible for once, and stop being crying babies.

Na wa oo how did u know abt this their jail?

but but zik never took d coward route na
war has it's casualties so yes both sides lost lives
btw are u admitting to bowing to hausas cuz yorubas fought on d oda side so dt makes dm as use and dump
smh

but...but, why are you stammering nah. lol
The only biafran offensive was led by a Yoruba man Banjo while your peadophilic ojukwu was busy raping young girls in camp. You met your Waterloo when you overestimated your luck by moving close to Ore. Adekunle and his boys were busy using biafrans as shooting practice, falling any moving and unmovable objects.

Mind you I'm not an Igbo hater, I just love having fun with the foolish ones on NL.
I'm presently having more fun with the Chelsea Man u match. I hope you amuse me some more after the match. lol

Leez:
but but afonjas called zik a tribalist na
at least u are truthful and admitted he was nothing but an ewedu gobbling rat poison drinker
great Bello,anoda one who nzeogwu dealt with

Everyone know Zik was a foolish Pseudo-pan African leader. When Awo was recording Firsts in his region he was busy shouting one Nigeria with Igbo dominance. Awo taught him Politics 101.
If you had had a leader with 1/10 of awos qualities, Igbo's wouldn't have been wanderers, Nomads and endangered species always running to ICC for survival.
And has regard Nzeogwu dealing with Bello, you know how over 3million biafrans blood atoned for that. All thanks to Awos ingenuity. (its a pity)

Leez:
now i undastand dt una dy eat soup wy dm use broom stir but ds rite here is just mind boggling
Zik on 500 naira note is Afonja abi?
hundred naira while ur masters are on higher notes
oh well once a slave....

You're too dumb to know that Zik was a national leader and not only a regional leader like Awo.
And even at that Awo (despite being only a regional leader) was considered first for the 100 naira note, before even the great ahmadu bello (200) and then Zik (500) despite being Nigeria's first ceremonial president (leader).

Leez:
still died peacefully in his sleep
ur hero is only relevant in d SW
#justsaying

Take a look at the 100 naira note in your hand and have a rethink abt who is more nationally recognised.
Awo picture is always staring you in the face. That can't be said of any eastern leader. lol

You are sunk one way or the other.

If igbos stay in the west, they are steadily edging you out since a long time ago.

If igbos decide to leave Lagos, the whole economy will crash and Lagos will become worse than Ibadan with so much brown roofs.

Mr deveroper , keep deveroping other peoples land while your land remain desolate n deserted.

You know they keep saying taxes ....forgetting that taxes is just a tiny fraction of profit ...which can be declared

Its the accumulation of those tiny fraction of profit that we need. And that's the reason why Ogun state IGR is bigger than the whole SE state combine.
Everyone goes to London/America to hustle but the so called tiny taxes they get from the hustlers is what is keeping them ahead and developed.
Even if Nigeria disintegrate I will still advocate that Visa lottery be made available for you guys, at least till every of our villages turn city. lol

See them running their mouths but your father's are there crying because they have no land anymore. Is your parents not carrying placards against Igbo's domination. Crying and pretending at the same time.

kikikikiki e pain am.
Areppo is a swampy area that has no value some few years ago. But now pigs are begging n paying millions just to have 1/2 plot in a river.
The value of a land is gotten when its being sold at extremely profitable price and developed. We don't need forest in the SW. Lol
What more land does my parents need aside their houses, our inheritance and their farms?

Sprumbabafather:
You are so hopeless that you don't know your freedom is based on the dictates of the north. Do you think north will allow you to run a way with our seaport and leave them landlocked like Niger and Chad.

I think the next world war will be fought in Lagos

Lol... which 'our seaport'? Lagos seaport has been in existence (attaining international status) hundreds of years before Nigeria was conceived.
When your forefathers were eating (cannibals) themselves and dancing stark naked, Yoruba's were already dealing with Portuguese Slave traders, Arab Merchants, British explorers, Christian missionaries, British colonial masters and Bini fishermen on our "Lagos international seaport"

Our seaport Kwanu. Clown

Sprumbabafather:
In all honesty you are correct, but Nigeria s unity is never negotiable so do you have a large ancestral land to sell to me in Lagos. We need to migrate for the milk and honey.

No, the developmental strides is now in Ogun/Oyo. Developers are moving en masse to Mowe, Ofada, Berger, simawa , imota, ayetoro Areppo etc. So we need more 'developers' to help develop our remote areas. Lol.
Mind you if you need hectares in Osun also I will gladly obliged you just for a bottle of Schnapp. hahahaha.

you think you are doing me....

zenmaster:
But the unity of Nigeria is non-negotiable.

We determine the unity of Nigeria. Why do you think Igbo's keep crying that Yoruba's/Hausa should let them go?

What keeps Nigeria polithiefcians together is the ND oil which will become valueless in the next 20-30years.
Then Nigeria will be more than happy to hold a farewell party for any seceding region.
Before then, Keep developing the west. Lol

Which Ogun? Lagos sweet pass jare. Need to buy me a plot on top of the lagoon, land will soon finish in Lasgidi

let them keep coming, the
ripple effect is fast showing in Ogun
and Oyo. Ogun and Lagos is
gradually merging into one. Most real

focusing on Ogun (AREPPO,
SIMAWA, MOWE, AGBARA, OFADA,
ASESE etc) and Oyo for medium n
low income earners working and
doing business in lagos.
With the completion of Osun State
Gbongan-Ikorodu project, Ondo's
state Ilaje-Epe project and the Lagos
Ibadan (Ore) rail/Ikorodu - Areppo
road project/ the proposed Ondo
seaport linking lekki seaport, the SW
states will be without Borders hence
the SW will witness tremendous
development. All the SW states need
is to find a means to connect to
Lagos.
By fire by force they will not only
develop Lagos, Ogun and Oyo, they
will also join hands with us to
develop our most remote Villages.
When the Nigeria project finally
expire (that's very sure), we will
separate the wheat from the Chaff.
For now let the wheat n weeds grow

bamosagie:
Oduduwa is a direct descendant of the Ogiso of Benin

common sense is indeed not common.
How will a sane man imagine that Oduduwa whose descendants, Yoruba's (both in and outside Nigeria) are over 50M came out from Ogiso of Benin with population less than 3M.

How on earth will Benin with landmass less than that of Ilesa kingdom alone be the progenitor of Oduduwa whose people occupy a landmass 30x that of Benin.

I'm not surprise though, ipob also believes that over 40M Igbo's are Jewish when the world Jewish population is less than 20M.

Even if you don't know basic SET theory that a SUBSET cannot be bigger than the Universal SET, you should ask yourself...
How can a goat give birth to an elephant?

And so?
Ogun get pipe borne water or electricity?

Lol, the last time I checked, the most backward region in term of electricity supply and pipe borne water is the 5 esusu villages from the East.

I have lectured them countless times that Lagos greatness predates Nigeria. well done jare OP

AnambraDota:
If Obosi were to be in Lagos it will be rated alongside Magodo and other highbrow areas but in Anambra its just a regular neighborhood developing, people still have clean air and houses are well ventilated. Though borehole are used, it's better than most places in Lagos except Lekki.

When IMO state is just celebrating its first flyover.
Anambra = 3.
Iyana Ipaja/Alimosho =3

You guys should stop making a fool of yourselves online.

We are relocating to import more containers do we can spread the 4 decking revolution into Oba, Ozubulu and other towns . We make money in Laos and invest in the east. Cry me a river.

hahahahahaha....you invest in the east and the esusu IGR of the whole 5 eastern Villages is not up to that of Ogun state alone.
You guys need to be pitied... ndo, pele

EternalTruths:

Most IGR are tax based.

So a governor can increase the tax base or rate without helping the citizens generate more income.

In the case of CIS, the governor will focus on programs that can enable the people generate more money.

Example

Imagine Benue state governor opening an agro allied industry that uses Yam as a raw material and then telling Benue people and other Nigerians to supply yams, what do you think will happen to the income of the yam farmers.?


What do you think will happen to the income of the Benue people and other Nigerians if the governor after 5years privatize the company through private investment from the Benue people and other Nigerians.?


Think.


Governors should focus more on programmes of such nature.


Imagine Abia state governor, creating a platform for Aba made products to be sold at local & foreign markets. What do you think will happen to the income of the Aba artisans.?

well said but all that you mentioned above will invariably increase the revenue of the state as well.
Govt provides social amenities and incentives so as to increase its revenue. No Govt. is Father Christmas.
Now to your example, Gov. Ikpeazu promoting Aba made product will affect both the CIS and IGR.
Show me a producing/exporting country/state and I will show you a country/state with huge IGR.
Germany that you mentioned earlier have one of the best economy in Europe despite going through two world wars, not because they are oil rich but because of good Tax regime.
