Hope the governor doesn't plan to use solar as Lagos state's primary source of electricity. Western govts in Europe that tried solar energy as a main source saw shege. They were almost reduced to begging Putin for energy. They are turning back to nuclear,hydro and thermal energy sources. Solar energy is not so reliable. The energy can't be efficiently stored for now. It is best used as a secondary source of power for now. Except the technology to store the power generated improves by 2030.

That's not true. One can understand if it's an incident that resulted in mass casualties like an earthquake or a pandemic but this is not the case. Healthcare system needs serious revamping.

Africa never ever sold slaves that's a divide and conquer strategy the eu:ropeans use. Dahomey warriors protected their lands from eu:ropean invasion...

I don't read or believe any version of eu:ropean or their African lackeys history about Africa.

Eu:ropeans will never admit that West Africans built ships and sailed and found the American continent..

They always portray ancient Eg:yptians as eu:ropeans. So I can't believe anything they write..

You are free to continue in your mental slavery. I am beyond that level..
😂😂😂. Africans built ships and found America? Lol. So it's no longer the native Americans that were the first noticeable settlers? And the Dahomey? Defenders? Lol Na you dey under mental slavery. Serious one.

Do you expect racists to write anything positive about Africans?

Lagos was a farm so they traded food, palm, almond, potatoes, tomatoes, pepper, metal, aluminum, gold, bronze, rare gems, rice, cassava, yam, corn, clothes, masks, wood e.t.c

Why will they invade and colonize Africans if Africans didn't have anything to trade in?

You think too little of Africans because you read and get your history from eu:ropeans or their lackeys in Africa.
Lol. You think the Europeans invaded Africa? It seems you need to read more on the real history on Africa and slave trade. Africa sold their own people to as slaves. That roots documentary was a lie. The creator even said so. Go and read on the history of Dahomey. They were fierce slavers. There was a trade. African tribe sold their "enemies"(conquered tribes) as slaves. They also kept slaves themselves. The lie of an invasion has been a very convenient one to believe. That was why people were mad she that silly movie,woman king came out. It was a total inversion of history. The Dahomey people were really bad,especially to their fellow Africans. Dont read history with a closed mind that the Europeans were so bad and Africans were so good and were the afflicted ones. Look at our elites. This quest to dominate didn't start today or 10 years ago.

It was never ever a slave coast.

Stop rewriting history with fake news and fake history.

Lagos was a farm and commercial point of the Oyo Empire and was occupied by Yoruba warriors and it extended into benin republic and Togo.

Yorubaland and Yoruba people does not end in Nigeria or Lagos, it ends in Togo and some parts of Ghana.

When the Portuguese came they traded with Yorubas in the places now called Lagos, Cotonou and Porto Novo.

Lagos, cotonou and Porto Novo used to be one whole Yoruba farm and commercial point.

Lagos was called Oko.
What did they trade in? You seem t be the one trying to redefine history here.

Exactly - and this is something anyone could easily verify by looking it up in a Portuguese-English dictionary. Besides, even if it were true, so what? Does the fact that English-speakers use the word "Germany" to refer to Deutschland now mean that Germany belongs to the British? Or does "Sverige" being called "Sweden" mean the Swedes are living on UK soil? A place having different names in different languages says absolutely nothing about who its indigenous inhabitants are or how it was founded.

Seun Kuti is just revealing his own ignorance and laziness by circulating this ridiculous, low-IQ piece of propaganda born of some semi-literate IPOB sympathiser.
Even if he mistranslated the word Lagos he is not wrong in reference to what Lagos was. It was actually a slave coast. You can do your research. You will see it. In as much as the present day Lagos is a South western state in Nigeria,it used to be a slave coast. Europeans used to come to buy slaves and other commodities in the slave coasts,one of which was Lagos. Check and see. So Seun Kuti is not ignorant.

It's not completely wrong. He may have mistranslated the word "Lagos" which is a Portuguese word but he is not wrong in referring to lagos as a slave coast. It actually was. The europeans were buying slaves and othet comodities. And who were the Europeans trading with? Other "Nigerians".

I made the clown comment in response to your rehashing of the lack of structure yarns. Nigerian politics is not so well formed. It's not ideologically driven. People just want a govt that will do well and serve Nigerians.So saying LP won't be relevant again is premature. And they won 34 seats in the HOR in this election. If the ruling party believed in their myopic "no structure" talk,why did they send thugs to disrupt voting in the polling units? And you say "this is not how to play politics". Is thuggery and vote disruption the way to play politics? I remember how 2015 was when the APC was campaigning. They went as far as making people who opposed them lose their jobs.

You aren't even ashamed of yourself. Someone said Bornu (One state) is 4times bigger than the whole of your region, the entire 5states combine.

Instead of hiding your head in shame. You went sourcing for fact checking articles, disputing the fact, that it is only 2.5 times. grin cheesy

More like a teacher scored you Zero out of 60marks. But you are arguing that you actually got one question right. So he should have scored you 1 over 60 instead. Sham*less lot.
And what is the gain of having a large landmass and you can't control it? Or is there any thing Borno is gaining from the landmass that we don't know? What is there to be proud of that you think areas with smaller land mass are suddenly at a disadvantage? Borno is probably bigger than Lagos and so? Lagosians should be ashamed too abi? Lol

About five months to the expiration of his tenure as Kaduna state governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai has apologised to those he might have offended while in office.

The Kaduna state governor said this in Kaduna at the commissioning ceremony of the head office of the Sultan Foundation for Peace and Development, Daily Trust reports.

He said:

“We try to do what is right but only God is right, my apologies to anyone that I have offended, we have five months to go and I will like to leave and sleep in peace.”

You have to have sense, ignorance of the law is not our business neither is it an excuse.

This is not southeast where anything goes. Thanks.
Same Lagos where people erect canopies on streets for parties? No state govt really has the moral high ground to beat their chest and say they are champions of upholding the law. The govt reacts to noise pollution complaints but watch as danfo drivers park anyhow on the road to pick passengers. It's almost as if they are invisible to LASTMA. To call out another region is ridiculous and daft when you've not finished dealing with your own flaws.

First I want to say congratulations to Argentina but....

Why was Messi given the best player of the tournament instead of Mbappe? Even if it was given to Messi I think it should have been shared with Mbappe! That is 2 best players of the tournament!

Someone said because Messi won the world cup.

Let me remind you all that in 2014 Germany won the world cup yet Messi who didn't win the cup still was given best player of the tournament that year.

This is the reason many people still prefer CR7 because he is not pampered like this. And all his achievements were done with so much hate from even people around.
You don't even know the criteria for awarding pott. It's not just based on one statistic. If it was so,Oleg Salenko would have won the golden ball in 94 and Suker in 98. They were the top scorers in those tournaments but didn't win. Romario(94) and Ronaldo fenomeno(98) won it instead. Messi was the 2nd highest goal scorer,had 3 assists,more shots on target,XG of 6.6(expected goals) compared to Mbappe's 5.2,more key passes into the penalty area and more key passes overall. Mbappe had more successful dribbles. So it's not a matter of favouritism. FIFA even has more impetus to favour Europe because it's the centre of football in a way. The last two FIFA presidents have been European,they have the highest slots. Ronaldo won the ballon dor in 2013,was that favouritism? Or the term should be used when we want to project something? It's okay to love who you prefer as your goat but stop crying foul just because Messi won something that Ronaldo has not won.
