I met the lady in my 100 level in the university, we have graduated and done with our one year NYSC service, I learn photography and have being surviving with it, I couldn't get any better paying job, so I decided to further my studies, and when I told her about my plans, she only said, she wish me well that she can't wait.

That was all, only for friends to start calling me telling me congratulations, was wondering what the. Celebrations until one draw my attention to her facebook wall, she was engaged last night.

Am just so pain and terrify

You got. what you deserved. You toyed with her emotions. You don't keep a lady waiting endlessly.

After six years, she still can't see where you are taking her. Abba!

You have forgotten that you are not the only good guy out there. Didn't you realise other nice and able guys might have been pestering her for a relationship.

Next time, never assume when a girl is going out with you especially a good girl, that there are no other guys out there trying to snatch her from you if they can. All it takes is for you to make the grave mistake of making her feel you are not as interested as she is. Before you know it, she is gone and you have lost her for good.

Yorubas are too blessed. Take it or leave it.

More business are realizing the viability of Ogun State. More businesses are seeing Ogun as the place to survive.

And I love it!

Ogun state is attracting new farms and industries due to road access to the market. After Lagos, Ogun and Oyo states have the largest networks of roads. The roads are not perfect though, but with the ongoing massive construction of new roads and bridges and maintenance of old ones in Ogun state, we should see further economic growth.

The problem with Ogun state right now is so many massive road projects across the state with little resources to address them. Added to this headache are a lot of communities whose roads are in a terrible state of disrepair calling for the government's attention.

With patience and continued election of development oriented and effective resource management governors like Governor Amosun, the roads and other infrastructures will be completed as works are presently ongoing on the road projects and other infrastructures.

Realdeals:
The rice pyramid might not be a hype, but Ogun state government is not doing enough in agriculture. They must have mop up the harvest from individual farmers who toiled to plant those rice without government support.
The multi-million veetee Ofada Rice plant at Itori is rotten away under Amosun nostril. No technology to support far.

In the SW, farmers go it alone without government support. You have to pay for your own land and source for your own finances all alone.

State government tends to focus more on road constructions to open up the farms to the markets due to limited resources.

36STATES:
Those that produce rice will show you the rice growing in the field, being planted, being harvested.
Showing you a stack of bagged rice is no proof. Go to Youtube and watch areas in Nigeria that produce rice;
with the paddy fields and all the activities of farming.

The whole story of Ofada rice is a big lie, no actual commercial rice farm exists in Ofada.

You better shut your mouth and keep your bad belle to yourself.

The word Ofada itself is actually the name of a rice growing community in Ogun state. Ofada rice has been with us for more than four decades.

What we are having today is expansion of rice production from Ofada to other communities. Ogun State today is the biggest in Agriculture in Southern Nigeria.

In another news...Ekiti state is to produce 30000 thousand Christmas clothes for kids...To think that both states are in the south west and Ekiti prides itself as the Fountain of Knowledge.Ha, God will punish all those doing strong thing to my dear state.

Fayose is a shame to the southwest.

Efewestern:


In terms in industry ogun is better than Delta, but Delta has more Urban Areas than Ogun.

So it depends on the factor you are using to compare.

You don't have a good knowledge of Ogun State. Infrastructural development is spread across the different LGAs of the state, same with other Southwest states unlike states in other regions where development is concentrated in a single LGA usually the state capital.

Naijiant:
Lagos is not developed. https://www.naijiant.com/articles/lagos-case-study-growth-without-development/

We are a developing country, with some developed and underdeveloped areas scattered all over the country.

One of the greatest hindrances to efficiency at the seaports in Lagos is congestion. This is due to the incessant traffic gridlocks and bad state of the access roads to the port, thereby, making it impossible for importers to take delivery of their consignments as and when due.
The worrisome aspect of this ‘congestion’ is that apart from Apapa and Tin-Can Island seaports that handle over 85 percent of cargo imported into the country, Nigeria has seaports in Calabar, Warri, Onne and Rivers that remain under utilised. Four of these seaports put together do not measure up to one of the seaports in Lagos in terms of volume.
Ironically, the majority of shippers (importers and exporters) that use Lagos ports are located in the South East, South-South and Northern parts of country. As a result, these importers pay double in cost to move their cargo from Lagos by road to their warehouses located in their states
Here, bulk of the Lagos ports importers are constrained against their wish to import through Lagos ports since container laden vessels do not frequent the Eastern ports owing to barriers such as lack of political will to open-up these ports, shallow draft of water channels leading to the ports and security concern deterring shipping liners from patronising the ports



Considering the fact that cargo must get to the final destination at the right time, in good condition and at the most economic cost, South East, South-South and Northern importers, therefore, must use Lagos.
For instance, in terms of cost, shipping companies charge as much as N800,000 as deposit per container where the consignee’s address is outside Lagos against N150,000 if the destination of consignment is Lagos
Also, importation of some products e.g. pharmaceutical products are restricted to Lagos ports of Apapa and Tin-Can Island only, hence, the above mentioned regions with their very huge pharmaceutical markets are forced through government policy and directive to import their goods through the Lagos ports, thus leaving other ports of the regions unviable. Lagos ports are also the only legitimate ports for the export of non-oil products
Therefore, to address the problem of congestion currently rocking Lagos ports, government must start finding ways to review some import and export guidelines militating against the viability of Eastern ports. The government should also muster the political will to make the ports outside Lagos viable by addressing the infrastructural challenge facing them.

http://www.businessdayonline.com/opening-eastern-ports-decongest-lagos-port/

Waiting for FG to open up the ports will not work because of the cost of dredging .

The respective state governments should come in with private investors.

Unfortunately, state governments are avoiding the ports because they will not benefit much from their efforts, because all ports income goes to the FG to be distributed to other states.

Ybutterfly:
[size=20pt]There is no doubt that the South-East is among the least developed areas of the country – if not the very least – in terms of infrastructure, which is worsened by the virtual absence of federal projects in the region. This is one reason the Igbos of the South-East are scattered in all parts of Nigeria and the world where they contribute immeasurably to development, while their home region remains a backwater[/size]
http://businessdayonline.com/NG/index.php/analysis/commentary/38496-the-south-east-and-need-for-regional-integration

There are very few federal roads/ project in the SW. They are barely visible.

Southwesterners takes responsibility for their own infrastructural development. We don't wait for FG to do anything for us.

We had always wanted to build Lagos/Ibadan metroline and expressway by ourselves, but denied by the anti-Yoruba Obasanjo administration.

This explains why we don't cry marginalisation. We love to take our own destiny in our own hands, not leave it for others.

You also now know why we didn't vote PDP. They were always standing in the way of our progress. Always denying us the permission to use federal right of ways to get things done, even when they had no plan to do them for us.

Antivirus92:
Unlike other regions in the country that have atleast 3 to 4 states developed. Even the poor north is more developed than the south-west. South-west only has LAGOS as the only developed state. Why is it like that? I need answers and not insults!

It is evident you have never visited other Southwest states, otherwise you would not have posted this thread.

I am not saying there are no nice guys around , all I want to point out is that she is not in the right concious state to make these claims.

You are a sadist. Your post shows the type of person you are and what you would do if you are in that man's position.

I dey pity ambode and Lagos economy. you want to tear down two bridges that supports your state economy to be replaced with a rail network. nothing less than 6 years of serious economic loss in terms of time,cost and productivity.

The reconstruction of the bridge is part of the project. It's not going to be easy, but it must be done.

Dhugal:
Foolishness.
The Air force world over grew out of army aviation corps,even ours.No need building a new aviation force when the one we have has not been fully equipped and funded

You are old school. All branches of the military flies aircrafts in US and Europe.

We need to modernize our military.

Blue3k:


Don't call that lame my friend. Tag him if you want his opinion. The budget project makes sense anyway. The last budget was 800m. It's not a big jump.

I am disappointed at the amount. I have been expecting something in the range of between N1.2-N1.5 Trillion.

oz4real83:
where will Ayade get the resources to finance such budget? A chick that will grow to become a big cock,it is at the chick-level u will know it. That budget is unrealistic. I pray he does.

It is a bogus budget.

Macelliot:

Josef stalling is athiest, same with Mao. The two biggest murderers in history of humanity

Those two beasts orchestrated the murder of between 150 and 200 million people in the name of socialism and communism.

Those killed include those who help them into power. Stalin and Mao promised them heaven on earth (Utopia), but ended up giving them Hell (distopia).

It baffles me that many people still believe in socialism and communism, despite their 100 years recorded history of failure.

jollymizzle:
I'm a Christian but I don't know why most of us seem concerned with what happens in Isreal, majority aren't even Christians. besides dem no send the rest of us, why we dey send them sef?

You are not a true Christian. A true Christian will defend Jerusalem where Christ was crucified, resurrected from the dead, ascended into heaven, and shall return again in great glory and power the second time to judge the living and the dead.

The Bible says, "pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper that love thee".

Moslems have no business fighting over Jerusalem anymore than Christians have over mecca.

To answer your question about the Al asqar mosque.

The location of the mosque is the exact location of the Jewish Temple which was destroyed by the Roman forces in 67AD, a few decades after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Jews were dispersed and the land left desolate.

Centuries later Christians built a magnificent church on the same spot until Islamic Jihadists invasion in the 600s which saw to the destruction of the church and it's replacement with a mosque.

Alao046:
I read a post on this forum this morning about Donald triumph declaring Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. It was stated that the population of Jerusalem is about 850000 people, with 61% jews and 37% Muslims, meaning that other religion such as Christianity, Hinduism and others are under the remaining 2%. I went to the wikipedia to browse about religion in Israel and i discovered that in their 2011 census, they had 71% jews, 16.9% Muslims, 2.1% christainsin and 1.7% druze.
Why is there a very poor population of Christians in Israel, i also read that the third holiest ground in Islam is in Jerusalem(al-aqsa mosque), behind the mosque s in mecca and medinna. I want to know why all these, there ought to be a very little number of Muslims in the state, and vice-versal for the xtains, but instead their population is increasing, from 16.9% in 2011 to 37% in 2017. Jesus Christ was a christain and came from Israel, how come there are no xtains in Israel today, why are they jews and Muslims mostly. Where does Christianity hails from, if not Israel . Why do Muslims have their third holiest land in where ought to be a christain land. All these question are going through my mind now, please who are these Jews and who are these Muslims. I need answers please.

The story is very long. The Roman Empire destroyed Israel ( 3 times 67AD, around 100AD, and also much later). They banned anyone from setting foot on Jerusalem upon the pain of death.
Christians and Jew's dispersed around the world.

Efforts of Jews and Christians to resettle in Jerusalem was further thwarted by invading Moslem Jihadists in the 600sAD.It was not until 1948 that Israel was able to recover about one-quarter of her land called Palestine-the name given to the land of Israel by its ancient Roman conquerors. The other parts of the ancient land of Israel was given to the Arabs ( Lebanon and Jordan in particular) by the British, which was the Superpower of the world when the Moslem Ottoman Empire who seized Israel from Jews and Christians collapsed after the 1st World War.

Many Jews who practiced Judaism have been moving into Israel since 1948 while Messianic Jews (Christians) live mainly in the United States and Europe.

For more information, google and download free books on the history of the dispersion of the Jews and Christianity.

Inside the village...no shame, we are proud of our land unlike afonja who can't even show their towns because of shame

If what you said is true, why do we have more Igbos in the SW than are in Igboland.

Osaze007:
I have observed in the next 10 years the Igbo in lagos will loose identity
Their children don’t speak igbo anymore now they Speak only Yoruba and English.
It has gotten so bad Ibo youths are now auditioning for Yoruba movies
Their women are married off
And the Yoruba culture is absorbing them
The new Igbo generator is investing all their life savings in Yoruba land
Building only house in their village
I pity the Igbo race

Migration has consequences.

Kennitrust:
ur advice pls.

I first met her but she said my biz was not good enough to keep us going.

I tried hard but I loose her to a rich guy who impregnated her and then dump her.

but I still love this girl but her condition among others is that I will take full responsibility of a child whose father remained unknown to me.

just hard to decide.

What you are feeling for her is not love because love is not feeling.

All those feelings will disappear after you marry her.

Her action towards your financial situation is the ultimate proof that she does not love you She is looking for someone to give her comfort, not someone to love.

You will surely regret it if you take her back. Forget the feelings. Feelings cannot sustain a marriage relationship.

I would love to see Nigeria beat Argentina again, at least for the first time in the World Cup

I believe Nigeria can go ahead to beat all the three teams in this group, Argentina inclusive going by the current form of the team.

rlauncher:
The FIFA 2018 World Cup draw has finally been held on Friday, December 1st 2017. The Super Eagles of Nigeria has once again been drawn in the same group as our perennial foe, Argentina in Group D. Our first game , however will be against Croatia, followed by Iceland, while our third and final match in the group will be again Argentina.

Some interesting fixtures also came up. Portugal and Spain were drawn in the same group. Both teams are expected to market out of the group. The toughest group is group F where Germany will be battling it out with Mexico, Sweden and South Korea. The host Russia had a supposedly easy group which includes Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Uruguay. The opening match is between Russia and Egypt.

What do you you think. Do do think Nigeria's Super Eagles will make it to the next round. Give your advice to the team.

This is a good draw for the Super Eagles. They must get the work done in their first two matches against Croatia and Iceland by picking the maximum points from the two matches before confronting Argentina in their last Group D match .

I also hope they beat Argentina this time around as we have lost to them in our previous four World Cup encounter.

meforyou1:
SE is far more developed than SW. Lagos is not part of SW. Chief layi from lagos island said so. Lets compare the state capitals.
Enugu is more developed than ibadan. Owerri is more developed than ibadan. Awka is more developed than abeokuta. Umuahia is more developed than abeokuta. Abakiliki is more developed than abeokuta. Not to talk of the great cities of aba and onitsha.
All those ur state capitals like osogbo and akure are not even as developed as nore igbo towns like nsukka and ihialla

Have you been to Abeokuta before. The CBD is awesome. Beautiful, wide and dark road surfaces everywhere.

Lots of large modern buildings. Abeokuta is one of the neatest and most beautiful city in the SW.

Stop looking at 1940's pictures of Abeokuta. You need to visit the city.

I was there some time ago, and I was shocked at the level of development.

UfuomaUN:


Lol

Crude oil accounts for 70% of government revenue and 95% its of foreign exchange earnings.

so u were saying

This is only true about Federal government revenue.

Oil constitutes only 30% of national budget (FG and States). Federal tax is about 15%, most of it from the SW. total revenue for FG is about 45%. IGR for states is now above 55% and growing.

bularvz:

You spoke well except for the Ogun part being developed

Apart from Lagos, Ogun is developing faster than any other state. Not many people know Ogun state very well.

lionjungle3000:
As Asari DOkubo said...Open all Seaports in SS; Port Harcourt, Onne, Calabar and Warri, and Riverport in Ontisha, and cut off oil allocation to Lagos, and watch Lagos fall like pack of cards. He said you will see yorubaas begging in the streets like Alamajiris. These people have nothing, they use Niger Delta oil allocation money to service their loans, deceiving you they are doing well. Did you know that all SW states have exceeded their borrowing limits? Meaning, banks will not loan them money again. That's why they are afraid of separation as Igbos want. What are you afraid of, afonjas? You claim you are this, that, you are tall like Iroko, but when we tell you to stand alone since you are all that and contributing to Nigeria more than others, you say no; whom are you deceiving? You think we are fools? Same Igbos you say contributes nothing, want to be alone, you panic and use all avenues of evil and envy to rubbish their struggle. Wicked evil things!

This is trash.

It is on record that the SW contribute more to the national budget than it received back.

(1) Company Tax - no 13%
(2) Value Added Tax.- no 13%
(3) Seaport Earning - no 13%
(4) Solid Minerals ' tax - no 13%

Take Lagos out of the southwest, what remains is a cocoa and kolanut farm.

Olodo listen to me.

The old Lagos (FCT) consists of the islands and mainland which include Yaba, Iganmu and Surulere.

The rest including Ikeja was designed and built by the Western Region. Ikorodu and Epe also used to be part of the Western Region . Successive Lagos state government have been responsible for the development of these regions of the state.

Duru1:
Take Lagos out of the southwest, what remains is a cocoa and kolanut farm.

Take Lagos out, SW still remains the most developed.

FriendNG:



Mtsw shut up. Ibadan is not even largest in Nigeria not to talk of Africa. Lagos remain the largest followed by Kano.

Lagos is the most populous, not the largest. Ibadan is.
