Politics / Re: The Igbo Tribe's Tragedy And Curse Of Being A Niger Deltan by DMerciful(m): 4:09pm On Apr 14
I have live in Lagos and its environs for about 6yrs, Lagos is not doing well. Lagos is not VI and Lekki alone, majority of the places like Badagry, Egbeda, Amuwo Dofin, Orile, Fagba,Abule Egba, Agbado Ijaye etc are just ordinary.

Comparing Lagos with other states in nigeria is a very unambitious thing to do. You can't have the 6th largest economy in Africa and compare yourself with state with economy you're 15 times bigger than.

A city running on borehole can never be called a developed city, not even in a 1000yrs. Emergency response? Can you be in your house, having a medical emergency and call 911 or a robbery attack and call 911 and expect a response within 10mins?

If you remove the infrastructures built before 1999 from Lagos, the successive state govts have done little with huge funds

Yes and he doesn't have a choice. After his 8 years or four years he won't come back here if he doesn't address most challenges we're facing here.

nigeria is one nation, so Lagos state government is not responsible for the large poverty in the state.
Many measures has been taken to restrict people from constituting nuisance and creating shanties.
Nigerians abroad are living shanties, go check places where nigeria lives in italy, usa etc.


Yes we do complain about the electricity issues alot. Alot has been done to improve power in the state but it's more of a federal government issue. As you can see the blue line metro is running on electricity.
Not all area has constant light tho. We're giving then the opportunity to fix that once and for all.
If light is fixed in Lagos, many Nigerians living in Lagos will benefit, the best person to fix light bt tinubu and obi in Lagos is tinubu.
So we're watching.

Lagos has the best emergency response in nigeria sofar. Have you happened to see how those firefighters swiftly attend fire accident?
If you tell me Lagos don't have the best emergency response team then I'll know you just want to tell lies.

As far as im concerned, we've settled for individuals drilling their borehole and we're satisfied with that.
It's left for who is not satisfied with such condition to decide where is best to live in.

Lagos is improving massively and we're not sleeping on it.
Those cities you mention you need to see their budget.
Naira has to stabilize to at least ₦500 to a dollar and Lagos state budget need to start from 3trillion to achieve such feat.
It will happen by 2025 budget.

I recently complained on Twitter to the governor about some issues in badagry, like two days later the governor visited badagry base on the things I said.
Many road still need to be reconstructed in Lagos but I believe Lagos has one of the best roads in nigeria.

You do not have constant electricity, government provided pipe borne water,
good health facilities and insurance, emergency response like 911, good road networks, low crime rate etc but you're happy with the current Lagos. Have you reviewed places like Cairo, Kigali, Cape Town, Pretoria, Johannesburg, Addis Ababa, Nairobi and see that Lagos has a lot of gaps to close?

Lagosians bask in mediocrity!

Guest911:

I get where you're coming from. I don't have anything against Brampton as well. but when it comes to majority, you know how it is. The number of times I've gotten questions like are you vegetarian or are you Gujurati, Indians only etc just because I want to rent a place is disappointing.
Driving there too is not safe you sef know for that one grin terrible drivers full brampton.


Do not mind me, I totally understand where you are coming from.

Here is more like their second country. 100 people in a bus, 98 of those people na them.😀

Yes, there are landlords too that prefer vegetarians.

Georgetown and Caledon are good option but one must be driving. These cities are close to Brampton and cheaper in rent compare to Brampton. Hamilton is a good option like you said very accessible to Mississauga and a lots of nigeria communities there.
Politics / Anambra 2025: Anticipation Grows As Senator Ifeanyi Ubah Gears Up For APC Ticket by ChumzyOma(f): 9:09pm On Apr 13
EXCITEMENTS HEIGHTEN AS A NEW ANAMBRA BECKONS

Who else recalls that during the run-down to the 2015 presidential election, a group of smart thinkers led by the current Renewed Hope president of nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, brought a man with a proven 12 million followership base as shown in the presidential polls of 2011 and made him the presidential candidate of the APC.

The candidate, Mohammed Buhari, went on to defeat the then-incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan.

in 2023, as "Anambra Decides 2025" draws near, a similar effort was ignited with the blessing of the same astute political thinker to bring about a change of baton in Anambra State; from the stillborn APGA party to the Renewed Hope, APC party, under the candidature of a civilian general whose core followership in the state consists of numerous staunch loyalists cut across different age brackets, driving his political structures, who trust and follow him to any platform he goes. You may recall that a fraction of the above numbers drawn from 7 Local Government Areas in Anambra South have consistently voted him into office on his two Senatorial outings on the platform of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) with over 70,000 votes during each outing.

in the 2025 guber polls, the race is going to be between Ifeanyi Ubah, his multitude of followers/structures versus others (briefcase executives) with scant followers, including the incumbent governor who will be relying solely on already demystified and waned APGA hold on ndi Anambra.

Unfortunately for them, Ikemba 2025 is a collective project that will be delivered by the electorates consisting of both non-politicians and politicians who cut across the different political parties, including APGA, Labour Party, YPP, PDP, and the APC.

Every political pundit in nigeria, including those in opposition to the project, are all in agreement that once Senator Dr Ifeanyi Ubah, CON, gets the ticket of the APC, it will be all over for the Soludo Government.

Across social media platforms, media influencers working for the Anambra State government have become overnight hype men for a weaker aspirant for the APC party ticket. This is part of the laughable efforts they have embarked upon in order to evade the impending Ikemba tsunami. But their hope will be dashed as is already evident, judging from feelers on the streets.

Ndi Anambra, as it stands today, collectively yearns for the restoration of their state to its pole position under the Midas touch of the Idea Bearer, whose track records in human capital and infrastructural development speak volumes and go before him in testimony even beyond the Southeast region.

An awe-inspiring instance was the state-of-the-art hospitals that he built within 5 months during the COVID-19 pandemic to cushion and combat the then-devastating effects of the disease on our people.

A new Anambra is coming where the idle media noisemakers who are barely surviving on government meagre stipends will become gainfully engaged either with making a living in industrial clusters/factories with dormitories or as Anambra youth ambassadors sent out on foreign missions drawing foreign investments to the state; youths championing quarterly trade exhibitions that also showcase our "Made in Anambra state Of nigeria" goods or as youths whose farm coordinates are known to the state and who benefit from real-time incentives driving the progress and development of Anambra State.

A safe Anambra is coming; where everyone is captured on a database and owns a social security number, where the security of lives and properties reign supreme, and where not even an inch of our territories will be allowed under the rule of bandits and non-state actors, and where elected local government chairmen are engaged in fierce competition with one another spreading interlocked roads across the villages and driving development from the grassroots.

The Ikemba Project portends an Anambra State where fast trains and beautiful flyovers adorn the gas-propelled 24-hour electricity state with three mega cities of Awka, Nnewi, and Onitsha alongside 6 other mini cities offering abodes of choice to residents, businessmen, academia, visitors, and tourists alike.

A new era is coming to Anambra State driven by the homegrown Idea Bearer; a human capital development expert whose only driving force is to crest his name in the history books for generations unborn to read and learn lessons in humanity.

Senator Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, CON, is coming.

For when the righteous is in power, the people truly rejoice.

Politics / Tinubu Post-graduated To Trillions Thanks Elnora Daniel (CSU). By Osondu Nworu by Ventrue: 12:10pm On Apr 13
Tinubu has been packing nigeria's coffers with millions and billions, borrowed and non-borrowed. Now, he has left millions and billions for his cliques, like Nysom Wike, Godswill Akpadio, and the senators, among others, to impoverish the citizens.

Tinubu listens to me carefully! The reason God destroyed the five "cities of the plain," Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, and Zoar, is not only sexual sin. Another primary reason was Excess Food.

Excess Food does not mean gluttony or overeating. Instead of giving its definition, I explain it to help you understand it.

Imagine you're in a family of five. in the morning, you boil a drum of tea and five milk, sugar, and butter basins. After the five must-have eaten enough, the remaining is poured away.

At lunch, the cooks prepare a cauldron of rice and stew; the five have enough, and the rest goes to the bin.

They prepare a barrel of Okra, Ewedu, Oha, Ogbono and Egbusi soup and five cauldrons of Gari and Amala at the dinner. After all have had it to the brim, the remainder goes into the bin.

Tinubu, what is this called? - WASTE. SO Excess Food means nothing but Wasting Food.

What the five "cities of the plain" were doing with Food, you are now doing with MONEY. Packing cash you will never use overseas is a Waste of money. You are only enriching the countries you bank this cash in and impoverishing nigeria.

When will you officially exhaust all this cash at 89? Tinubu, are you sure you are in the right senses?

Invariably, you are breathing hunger into nigeria, begging for grains from Ukraine, which are at war and wasting the country's commonwealth.

I know you know nothing apart from money; hence, you were in the pickpocket, hard drug business in a short criminal career from childhood.

But today, you have known what excess money can bring to your life. So, never say you did not know. Now, you have known, - Ezekiel 33:18. (uniconhighs.com)

Benin City, The Mighty Medieval Capital Now Lost Without Trace


Guardian Newspaper, UK

https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/18/story-of-cities-5-benin-city-edo-nigeria-mighty-medieval-capital-lost-without-trace


With its mathematical layout and earthworks longer than the Great Wall of China, Benin City was one of the best planned cities in the world when London was a place of ‘thievery and murder’. So why is nothing left?


This is the story of a lost medieval city you’ve probably never heard about. Benin City, originally known as Edo, was once the capital of a pre-colonial African empire located in what is now southern nigeria. The Benin empire was one of the oldest and most highly developed states in west Africa, dating back to the 11th century.

The Guinness Book of Records (1974 edition) described the walls of Benin City and its surrounding kingdom as the world’s largest earthworks carried out prior to the mechanical era. According to estimates by the New Scientist’s Fred Pearce, Benin City’s walls were at one point “four times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops [in Egypt]”.

Situated on a plain, Benin City was enclosed by massive walls in the south and deep ditches in the north. Beyond the city walls, numerous further walls were erected that separated the surroundings of the capital into around 500 distinct villages.

Pearce writes that these walls “extended for some 16,000 km in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They covered 6,500 sq km and were all dug by the Edo people … They took an estimated 150 million hours of digging to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”.

Barely any trace of these walls exist today.

Benin City was also one of the first cities to have a semblance of street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace. Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace.

When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”, at a time when there were hardly any other places in Africa the Europeans acknowledged as a city. Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world.

in 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.”

in contrast, London at the same time is described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”.

African fractals

Benin City’s planning and design was done according to careful rules of symmetry, proportionality and repetition now known as fractal design. The mathematician Ron Eglash, author of African Fractals – which examines the patterns underpinning architecture, art and design in many parts of Africa – notes that the city and its surrounding villages were purposely laid out to form perfect fractals, with similar shapes repeated in the rooms of each house, and the house itself, and the clusters of houses in the village in mathematically predictable patterns.

As he puts it: “When Europeans first came to Africa, they considered the architecture very disorganised and thus primitive. It never occurred to them that the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics that they hadn’t even discovered yet.”


At the centre of the city stood the king’s court, from which extended 30 very straight, broad streets, each about 120-ft wide. These main streets, which ran at right angles to each other, had underground drainage made of a sunken impluvium with an outlet to carry away storm water. Many narrower side and intersecting streets extended off them. in the middle of the streets were turf on which animals fed.

“Houses are built alongside the streets in good order, the one close to the other,” writes the 17th-century Dutch visitor Olfert Dapper. “Adorned with gables and steps … they are usually broad with long galleries inside, especially so in the case of the houses of the nobility, and divided into many rooms which are separated by walls made of red clay, very well erected.”

Dapper adds that wealthy residents kept these walls “as shiny and smooth by washing and rubbing as any wall in Holland can be made with chalk, and they are like mirrors. The upper storeys are made of the same sort of clay. Moreover, every house is provided with a well for the supply of fresh water”.

Family houses were divided into three sections: the central part was the husband’s quarters, looking towards the road; to the left the wives’ quarters (oderie), and to the right the young men’s quarters (yekogbe).

Daily street life in Benin City might have consisted of large crowds going though even larger streets, with people colourfully dressed – some in white, others in yellow, blue or green – and the city captains acting as judges to resolve lawsuits, moderating debates in the numerous galleries, and arbitrating petty conflicts in the markets.

The early foreign explorers’ descriptions of Benin City portrayed it as a place free of crime and hunger, with large streets and houses kept clean; a city filled with courteous, honest people, and run by a centralised and highly sophisticated bureaucracy.

Wide coverage of owerri's beauty has extended to Owerri west LGA'S and Owerri North LGA... because the next thing you guys are fond of doing is to say a particular place has a larger square meter and should be excused .. hahaha

Visit irete, mgbirichi, umuoguma, egbeada etc...they are all on the outskirts of Owerri

Shows you don't understand English language..
The context of my submission is in "coverage" that's why I asked you to do a north and south Aerial..

Owerri is the most beautiful city because of its WIDE COVERAGE of wonderful landscaping, road network, organized structures, and livability

since you understand English, I dont see where and how u answered the simple question.

how is Owerri the most beautiful city in nigeria?

you made a claim
Broveens42:

Lol.. there's no apology in stating the obvious.
Owerri is the most beautiful city in nigeria after the FCT

what criteria did you use to arrive at your conclusion?

there are a minimum of 36 cities in nigeria. what research did you do to have arrived at your conclusion?

did you physically visit all the cities in nigeria before you made your conclusions?

when you say "WIDE COVERAGE of wonderful landscaping", what do you mean?

what measurement did you use in your "WIDE COVERAGE"?

how many sqm2 does your "WIDE COVERAGE" cover?

Legend has it that Tinubu wanted to develop his hometown but they refused, so he left home and built a new city from scratch which he named Lagos

When he arrived Lagos, only dinosaurs lived there 🦕

He built it from scratch, brick by brick.

He’s doing same currently in Abuja.

We all know Abuja was a forest before he arrived but watch how he will develop a plan to build new cities in Abuja.

According to the master plan, he plans to name some of these cities Gwarimpa, Maitama, Asokoro, Gwarimpa etc

nigeria is lucky to have him.
the civilization of the entire continent of Africa began from Lagos because of Tinubu

Who wrote history books? Who decides what is considered "current affairs"? Who controls the news?

When you watch the news, do you see images of videos of US, UK and French white men planning to kill or overthrow foreign governments?

No. But you have seen more than enough photos and videos of African and Muslim countries threatening the US, British and French governments.

You have seen videos of frustrated Africans and Muslims screaming "Death to America" and burning the American flag or French flag.

It's all about perception. That is, what the public is made to believe.

We only know what we are told. Now, those responsible for telling us decides what we are told and how we are told it happened.

Take the case of that Chinese balloon or that of North Korea launching rockets.

North Korea has launched a lot of satellites but they never talk about it. Instead, the entire focus is on their nuclear program and missile tests.

Take another example, a month or so ago, there was a topic on frontpage where a group of Egyptian boys raped a lady in some European country.

How was the news reported: "Pack of Arab boys rape...".

Only wolves travel in pack but it was used for the boys because the news was intended to present the boys, along with Arabs and Muslims, as mad savages that hunt and kill, just like wolves.

Have they ever used "pack" for white rapists? No.

What about when some random dude stabs someone? If he's Muslim, they add "Muslim" to the headline, irrespective of whether he did it in the name of Islam.

But once he's a non-Muslim, there no reference to his religion and he is just called a stabber.

Have you also read Ghanaian newspapers? A typical headline goes:

19 people, including three Nigerians, kill man during robbery.

4 Nigerians arrested for peddling drugs.

75 men, including one Nigerian, arrested for gang rape.

They will always reference nigeria, why? It is to shape public perception and create anti-Nigerian sentiment within the populace.

Even when the majority of the criminals are Ghanaian or the victim of the crime is a Nigerian, in so far as a Nigerian was among the attacker, they will mention it.

Even here on the homefront, do you notice that Boko Haram rarely makes the news these days?

It's because the media has decided to speak less about it. If they decide to focus on Boko Haram news again, we will return to hearing of BH's never-ending exploits and we begin to once again wonder whether we have a government in this country.

Now, who decides whether Boko Haram news is told or not told? Those are the people that control your mind.

And it's more complex in the US. They don't just stop at the news. What about Hollywood?

African countries are always at war. Their streets are dirty, brown, and muddy; their people are poor, dirty, miserable, malnourished, and always wear faded or torn clothes.

And ow, we never have large, clean cities unless it's fictional ones like Wakanda.

Meanwhile, Russians are always the bad guys, Muslims are terrorists, and the American man is a hero.

This is absolutely true. Funny enough, I used to believe Nigerians were spoiling the image of Africans until right now when you mentioned this. They never miss the opportunity to mention Nigerians even if they are few out of a dozen and like a fool, I fell for it. The media is powerful.

Crime / The Legendary Monkey Police Of Thailand. by Jakumo(m): 8:00am On Apr 12
Monkeys in Thailand swarm their cities, stealing food from shops and harassing pedestrians who ironically feed the monkeys, thereby triggering a positive feedback loop in the monkeys' brains, causing the furry bastards to associate ALL humans with free food, either by donation of food or by loss of food due to monkey burglaries that target shop owners who fail to cooperate with the monkey's dastardly agenda.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivKyEuoWgyk

I hereby propose that nigeria should also create a special Monkey Task Force with yours truly as the Federal Coordinator whose signature will access vast treasures of public funds. If it is discovered that nigeria's towns and cities experience NO monkey problem comparable to that faced by Thailand, then the Monkey Taskforce can simply re-tool to arrest human monkeys wherever they may lurk in the federation while noting that quite a few of them infest this Nairaland forum. By their writing, we shalt knoweth them. We will round up the usual suspects so they can be granted the opportunity to face the music of justice.

ThEGodFaDa2:
Not many people know Senator Ademola Adeleke’s first wife, Ngozi because she has been living in the US for many years. Information even has if that her children were born in the US. She is from the Eastern State of nigeria. The light in complexion and robust woman has been married for close to 3 decades. Looking very young at 58, the beautiful lady has a good frame to go with it.

The pretty, fair skinned America-based entrepreneur was born on March 5th, 1964 and has four children for her husband, the Governor. Her eldest daughter is Folashade Adeleke, followed by Shina Rambo, B-Red and the baby of the house is Adenike Adeleke. Her 2 boys, B-Red and Shina Rambo are into music and they are very popular in the Showbiz industry. California and Las Vegas in USA are one of their major bases and known to be some of the most bubbling cities in America. Popular music act, Davido is their closest cousin and both B-Red and Shina Rambo are foundation members of Davido-led HKN Gang.

While pledging total support to her husband as he settles down to administer Osun State, she also pledged her commitment to ensuring the administration delivers on its promises on education, youth and women empowerment, and improvement of Osun State’s health sector, amongst others.

The younger wife of Governor Ademola Adeleke is Chief (Mrs) Titilola Adeleke. She is Yeye Soludero of Oke Ila-Orangun in Osun State. She had her primary and secondary education in nigeria. Mrs Titilola Adeleke is an epitome of beauty. She’s a calm and reserved mother who doesn’t like a flamboyant life. Her beauty radiates like the glowing sky.

Even though Titilola Adeleke has avoided the public eye for a long time, her husband’s victory has brought her out of her shell. She also has 3 children for the Senator and one has graduated from the Adeleke University in Ede, Osun State.

What is your level.of education?. For thousands of years before nigeria, Benin language was not spoken to anyone not in the Benin suburbs. I hope you know that?. Benin in extent was confined to Edo state parts of Ondo and Ekiti Delta and fringes of Igbo land at its greatest extent and what English is to nigeria was what Yoruba was to Benin but more, because Yoruba was indigenous to the empire. All the big cities were speaking Yoruba only and they were Benin, Akure and Warri. Others were villages

I know I am more educated and more reasonable than you are.
Even if Benin Kingdom covered Edo state, parts of Ekiti, ondo, delta and parts of Igbo land like you say (although the empire extended more than that) it's influence, politics and fame extended worldwide..
Benin Kingdom was the the 3rd nation after USA and Portugal to recognize Brazil Independence in 1824.
This means Benin was already playing international politics when your Yoruba villages were still trying to find their feet.

FYI, Yoruba was only spoken in Yoruba lands just as Edo languages were spoken in Benin and also spoken in our conquered Yoruba territories.

Nairaland / General / My Experience In Pictures During The Solar Eclipse by ffo(m): 9:37pm On Apr 11
I drove for four hours to see the eclipse, and the entire trip was enjoyable. I went to Waco, Texas, since it was one of the places along the path of totality.

Regarding the eclipse, there were many conspiracies and prophesies (for those of you who enjoy disparaging nigeria, know that this is not exclusive to nigeria or Africa). Because the line of totality forms a letter ex over America, some have dubbed it the Judgment Day eclipse; others have termed it the Nineveh eclipse because it goes through the towns of Nineveh and Jonah.

The cities of totality, which attracted thousands of tourists and Americans, were packed, especially the smaller towns like Waco, Spring, Jonah, etc. All the hotels were fully booked, and parking and viewing were paid for by the surrounding villages and inhabitants (I had to pay $10 to park in a complex).
America will see its next solar eclipse in 2044.
Enjoy the view

Politics / Re: Peter Obi's Borehole: When A Time Bomb Is More Accepted Just Because Of Hatred. by opebanwo: 9:27pm On Apr 11
Peter Obi’s Boreholes And The Hypocrisy Of Some Ungrateful Nigerians (Read full story from Dr Ope Banwo here: https://mayoroffadeyi.com/peter-obis-boreholes-and-the-hypocrisy-of-nigerians/)

First to be clear, As Founder of Naija lives matter Organization, I am officially now unaligned to any party after the election as our focus is now on what is best for nigeria and Nigerians and not any political personality or party.

However, I am somewhat miffed and disappointed that many Nigerians think it’s acceptable to criticize Peter Obi, a FORMER presidential candidate with no official portfolio, for his commendable charitable act of constructing simple boreholes for some communities.

How is this a negative action or something he should be ashamed of?

Is he their elected governor or local government chairman?

If the communities really think it’s beneath them then they should reject it and use the one provided by their elected officials, if any!

Obviously it is becos their local officials failed them that someone like Peter Obi could even be in a position to give them some boreholes.

So, I say Shior to all @PeterObi CRITICS CONCERNING THE WATER BOREHOLE ISSUE, PLEASE BE SILENT!

The truth is only a confused and ungrateful people would criticize a private citizen for using his own money to do what your local government cannot, by providing a basic amenity like water to rural areas.

These are areas previously relying on muddy water from dirty streams. To them, a borehole represents a MAJOR improvement in their standard of living even if that sounds crazy to those of us with comfortable houses abroad or locally . So, it is senseless and uncharitable to criticize him for providing a practical, basic, and inexpensive solution. Or did you all expect him to implement massive piped water systems just because he is a politician, even though he does not hold any elective post or have a budget from the people?

It’s just plain annoying! We elected officials with huge budgets who do nothing, yet want to criticize a private citizen for doing the little he can?

in any case, a borehole, like what Peter Obi provided, is exactly what’s sensible for some rural areas at their current level of development. That’s just a fact and not an insult. Even my own village in Ijebu imushin would probably appreciate more boreholes right now that will give them immediate access to drinkable water than to wait on long promises from politicians that may not be fulfilled for years! Full disclosure: Myself and my siblings DID build a borehole for our village a few years back and they are eternally grateful for it. Or would then say we should go do major pipe-borne water project with our little resources ?

This whole dragging is even nonsensical because many high brow and prosperous areas even in urban cities rely on boreholes for survival!

FYI, even at my lagos house in a prestigious estate off Chevron in high-end Lekki, where the cheapest house is probably around N200 million now or over N8 million rent annually, we still rely on a borehole just like that one Peter Obi gifted those communities at the back for our water because the government piped water does not flow regularly!!!

I also notice that many areas in Lekki, Victoria Island, and Ikoyi have similar boreholes. So why are the hypocrites complaining? Or are you all trying to say your house, village, or city, regardless of where you live, does not have a borehole?

You know, even in areas where you have government piped water, drinking water directly from the tap without a serious anti-dysentery medicine nearby is a risky endeavor.

Of course, our nation and its people deserve better in 2024. We deserve good piped water that is DRINKABLE, but we mostly do not have it due to government corruption and inefficiency. So, wherever we see someone willing to spend their money to provide a borehole, we must applaud it instead of criticizing them, perhaps because we disagree with their politics.

Stop conflating issues, people; it’s misguided and leave Peter Obi alone!

But you only need a low quality phone to get the desired picture in owerri.

Eid El fitr in owerri
Bros, you need to travel out of your native Owerri enclave to get enlightened. State is different from state capital. Even if Owerri becomes London in your parochial eyes while the other cities in Imo state remain unattended to as they are today, no saner person can give plaudits to Owerri and govt of Imo state.
Natives of Owerri are less than 0.5% of the population of Imo state.

and the second largest nigeria economy, according to reliable statistics.

Ki ki ki. Imo most built up. Built up where people in other cities outside your Owerri can't find navigable roads to their homes and businesses. Enter the all dust or mud streets in Orlu for example, to enjoy your Imo most built state.
