Can someone please explain to me how to divide a country PEACEFULLY?

Thru referendum like that of Czechoslovakia now Czech and Slovakia, USSR now many countries including Russian, Pakistan out of India. In the same vain you can bring countries together like Buda and Pest now Budapest

1025:
is this not a product of the best election in the history of nigeria that consumed close to N100b of our public funds. if andy uba could fraudulently win anambra state governorship election and was sacked and now senate and is also sacked. [b]why is the court not calling him a criminal? w[/b]hy is the court not sending him to jail? why is such saboteur not been banned from political offices? whether we like it or not, pdp is a criminal based party so both jega and jonathan are part and parcel of all the rigging.
it is only in nigeria that the court will will confirm a case of fraud yet nobody will face any punishments.
we are a useless ppl living in a jungle controlled by animals.

Bros, law is funny, he did not rig himself in, INEC announced result and told me he has won, so he is "free". Just obeying the law according to INEC.

What is wrong with these politicians cutting their own salaries by 50%. At least they are not poor so they won't feel it. They can afford the pain. That would give us almost N750B to prepare the cushion for subsidy removal maybe 2014. They are paying themselves with almost 75% of our income and keep saying subsidy must go for us to survive.
The truth is that they want more money to pay new minimum wage, simple.

vislabraye:
Let us see its completion, There might be a toll gate

that is definite, and it is good, no problem, at least it is a new bridge not renovated community road.

walata44:
The problem with Nigerians: we like free things. Water, electricity, food etc. I think I will rather pay a toll fee for a good road than to ply a dangerous road. As for voting out ACN, I wonder what the alternative have done in the state they control.

Lagosians has always made good Governors, even the Military ones did better than their peers in other states. Apart from maybe Oyinlola, which past governor in Lagos state was not a performer. So any Governor would have been pushed by Lagosians to perform. Especially if he succeeded Fasola.

So 2015 Lagosians should look beyond Tinubu pawns.

Toll is not a bad thing but the way that of Lekki is introduced is parochial, callous, and wicked,. That is, the only road into that area, the area is populated by people who pays 21% of their income as tax compulsorily as workers of organized companies, yet now govt amenities in that area apart from that road, To add salt upon injury, rate are exorbitant and would be 3 "rip off gate'" within 8 kilometers. Some people may not be able to come out to socialize again after returning home from work, if they have to pass thru 2 or three toll gates.
Today, Police in from of Oniru Palace did not allow cars thru one of the so called alternative roads.

debosky:
Every leader has his potential downfall or Achilles heel - this may be it for Fashola.

Yes, he who God will destroy will first make mad.

Uhmn, see so many graves, end of everyone. Life is really transient. Tonto, thanks for visiting the graveyard, hope you realize you will end up there some day and ensure you leave your life looking towards that time too. May God bless the souls of the departed.

I participated in the protest and I have no regrets. Even though some may consider it unsuccessful.

1. It gives me joy that I spoke against what I don't like, even though LASG may be having her way now.
2. It gave me a clear knowledge of hypocrisy in Tinubu lead ACN, which, unfortunately, I voted governorship for in last election.
3. It rekindled a feelings during 1986 student action as Year One Student at Unife, a protest where Ife students allegedly freed prisoners.

Now when I drive through either the so called "alternative road" or the "rip off gates", I can tell any complainer that, "Had you come out and join us that day, maybe we could make a change.

For me it is not over until it is over. Table can still turn. Suppressing a legitimate people's protest can be a double edged sword, that can hurt even the so called "victor". As Dele Giwa ones wrote: Triumph of evil over good can only be temporary. Every injustice done to man by man will be revisited, if not now surely later, if not by man surely by God. Let's see who will laughs last.

Ola one:
If you can afford to own 40 million naira worth of cars, if you can buy a duplex for 100 million naira, then you should be able to pay the toll. Stop whinging, guys.

Guys abroad pay for all these things. That's why they have constant electricity, etc. And, that's why many of them don't have much savings. Just go and pay the gaddem thing and stop being petulant!

You have 4 - 5 drivers, you pay insurance on none of them. You have house helps, you pay them pittance! Move to a Western country and let me know if you will be able to afford 4 -5 drivers. You are rich, please pay up or move to a 'bill-friendly' city.

Whingers!

Boy! not everyone in that area is a landlord or own a house. There are tenants in that area too. those who have the profile you are talking about don't complain of toll.

Kobojunkie:
Seems much of the traffic is headed one way. How come?

The picture is showing only one side of the toll plaza, the other side have cars trapped behind the toll gate too.

If all you do is go to work every day thru the toll gates, you will make less than 80 trips in a month, so no discount for you.

VoodooDoll:
There would not be any war, just more complaints. People will pay, share cars and use the "alternate route".

ACN may just give PDP a way back into Lagos if they continue with this approach.

Nothing is impossible, ACN is already struggling in alimosho and ikorodu, with this move, lekki axis may join the list.

Kobojunkie:
Building or renovating an already existing road?

Upgrade, renovate , whatever they did, how much did it cost them. Why not share details of LCC contract with stakeholders?

walex0709:
How can we  pay 4 road to b constructed nd still pay thieves contractor for 30yrs? Really! Acn lead by tinubu is a 419 govt only force to b pilot by fashola. Fashola b careful with your policies, tinubu cud bastardize your good image nd work. A word is enough for d wise

Fasola claimed he reimbursed the contractor N4b for tolls not collected from August - Dec, 2010, that is average of N12b toll collection per year. If this LCC has 30 yrs concession, HOW MUCH IS THE COST OF BUILDING THIS ROAD?

TRUTHTELA:
@eros, That's not TRUE, my family lives in NORTHERN FORSHORE Lekki. Do you live in Lekki? Why I ask this is because, thousands of people that in my estate will not leave the COMFORT of their HOMES to face MAD MOPOLs. The estate provides everything & people do not see any reason to go & risk their lives over something they can afford. Lekki residents ( the ones i know though ) ARE NOT READY TO RISK THEIR LIVES. IT will fade away by Monday, when they will need to go & work for the money they will use to buy COMFORT. My guy, FORGET NAIJA, we're not there YET, it's all a wish!

So you think having all you can get in NF is enough consolation for you to pay another N544,320 per year to LASG in the name of toll gates, after given 20% of your pay to the same govt as tax, without any amenities?
FYI, people in Lekki Phase 1 has only one toll gate to worry about, people leaving farther away have more.  People in NF that have kids in schools further down towards Epe should worry about 2 toll gates to and fro everyday.
by the way there were so many oil company workers at the rally this morning. If fact, majority of participants would afford the tolls, but an unjust situation must be confronted.

Come to think of it, what is the gain of people living at the Lekki axis after paying 20% of Total Remuneration to Lagos as tax with  No govt water, no govt schools or hospital, now tool gate will collect average of N544,320 per year from a family with 2 cars (1 SUV + 1 Saloon car, leaving after LBS).

What are the things you saw to suggest they are not rich ?

Kobojunkie, to build a house in Lekki is 50% more expensive than mainland because of the water level

The houses in Lekki are the most beautiful in the country. I can keep going on and on so

In fact tell me a part in Lekki that suggest the people are not rich. Thanks[/quote]Igbo Efon, Jakande, Ilassan, Ikota Village, Okun Ajah, Sangotedo, Ajiran, Awoyaya, Alpha Beach ,,,,,,,, do you want more

phantom:
Lol, just saw kate henshaw on stv raking with her neck veins dilated, men, people are really pissed o!

not only her, Soni Irabor was among the tear gassed too.

Honestly I feel very sad today for voting for Fasola. How can he mobilize maximum force against enlightened protestants. People who carried only placards and just dancing, did not even call govt names or insult anyone.

These same Tinubu, Fasola,  &co protested against Abacha under NADECO. It is a shame.

Even uniformed policemen almost out numbered the protesting crowd, not to talk of secret agents pretending to be among the crowd.


This is really sad.

IF GEJ HANDS OVER POWER TO DANGOTE BY 2015, THAT WILL BE D BEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO NIGERIA SINCE INDEPENDENCE because I CAN BEAT MY CHEST AND TELL THAT IF POWER IS HANDED OVER TO DANGOTE BY 2015, NIGERIA MIGHT BE D NEXT WORLD POWER BY 2020.

DANGOTE HAS GOT ALL THE QUALITIES TO MOVE NIGERIA FORWARD (AM NOT CAMPAIGNING FOR HIM) AM ONLY SPEAKING THE TRUTH. DANGOTE IS A FORCE TO RECKON WITH IN NIGERIA, THE MAN IS A BUNDLE OF TALENT AND SO ENTERPRISING.

IT IS NOT EASY TO BE THE 50TH RICHEST MAN IN D WORLD AND ALSO BE THE RICHEST MAN IN AFRICA, D MAN IS HERO, I RAISE MY CAP FOR HIM.

Private business is not same as government, in business you decide what happens to your money, in govt too many interests, Babangida tried same with Shonekan in 1993, due to his success in UACN, he supported him with some of best brains in Nigeria that time, what happened after all.

God don catch devil!

What woman in her right mind followed this amorphous creature to go and lodge in a hotel room without oxygen and emergency medical staff on the premises? This tin wey make face and neck like the 'great-grand' father of SHAYGUN ARINZE?

Tufiakwa!

the woman is DSP and the man was DIG, maybe they are on official duty, by the way, are you saying an ambulance has to be on standby before any fat man sleeps with a woman? Everyone dies you know.

emmatok:
When NLC went on strike during OBJ regime, where you able to do anything meaningful.

That does not make them representatives for all. I never said strikes would not affect the country but who do NLC represent. If govt offered them some "palliative" relief they would call off strike and the rest of the populace continue to suffer. What we need is all sections, including those not represented come out to protests, that is when you can say the people have spoken. If non represented are on street, they would be more powerful than represented, because no one to buy over or negotiate with until demands are met.

^^Tell them, NLC does not represent everybody in Nigeria, they represent only their members not even all workers. TUC is for Senior staff and Managers have no union.

This is budget they say would turn Nigeria fortune around.

[size=75pt]Dem self, why would someone in his or her right senses be sailing by 9:30pm? Haba mana! [/size]

Please don't blame the dead, we all take some unreasonable risks everyday, depending on where you live and circumstances of your existence. People in riverine areas travel on water any time. They must have been doing this for years, even if the mishap happened in broad daylight, in absence necessary safety gears, ability to swim or some water survival training, people would still die.

In fact, I lost a close friend in this mishap so I feel the pain. He actually was rescued alive, even in the darkness, but died before getting to hospital. .

David Cameron refused to sign Euro treaty because it not in favour of UK but African countries must sign any law whether it favours them or not.

Removing the subsidy is the correct thing to do, but I suppose more popular to be against it.[/quote]that is not entire the case in my view, real fear is what would happen to the so called saved money. The main problem of this country is not fuel subsidy by bloated government where 73% of money made goes for salaries of people who don't produce any income to the nation. I am not against subsidy removal, more so when it has been removed from main industrial fuels like diesel and aviation fuel, but is this the right time?
Can the economy of the people sustain it. There is no economy without some form of subsidy, even America subsidizes steel industry and some agricultural products.

Everyone took care of there own territories


How do you do? I am doing fine

Nigeria is not at war yet almost a NTrillion would be spent on defense within 365 day, not that we are going to send rocket to moon or fight in foreign land. Nigeria We hail Thee.

Was Mujaheddin Asari Dokudo in that meeting too, are they going to kill him too,
What about Muslims that are Niger Deltans and those from other part of the country that are not killing or bombing like the misguided boko harams,

Do they have evidence what these BH nonsense are doing were agreed to by all Nigerian Muslims?

Do they also have evidence that everyone killed in the North East Nigeria are non Muslims?

It is painful that some misguided people hide under the cover of religion to main and kill innocent people but wanton killing of more innocent people is not a good response.
