The landlord as a right to his house cest fini.

Okay o

Kano and Kaduna ain't do badly Nigeria standard and Abuja remains the most developed state in the country. The problem with southern president is that they lack balls. None of them have the audacity to move the capital to the south n if that is not possible why not spread the capitals among the arms of govt like its done in South Africa so those locations can serve as springboard for development of each region instead of concentrating development only in Abuja.

luvinhubby:
The North has over 40yrs of the presidency, which Northern state is truly developed?

Lol....naaah. A rat can't creep in a lion's den na.

But when the rat chose to drown the lion on it's territory you go making noise up n down ba continue.

SalamRushdie:
Who is talking of pedestrian bridge ? Ambode has fixed all the bad road in [b]IKEJA GRA, VI, Ikoyi,ogudu [/b]that your deceptive master couldn't fix in 8 years, he has built how many Viaduct bridges that your Fashola couldn't do ..He has fixed the Lekki corridor road with tax payers money a project your Fashola couldn't do even though he made us pay every day for using that road , should we talk about the Lagos Response Unit under Ambode , under Fashola that unit would have been another Agbero dumping ground ....can you see that Last mail under Ambode is even better off abi is it the revamped Lagos police ....Some officers were killed just weeks ago and already Ambode has provided their families with compensation this was something Fashola used to take years to do even though the Lagos security trust fund had the one you to pay .....Abeg tell him to go and complete his illubirin project he abandoned

I refuse to be deluded by your antics. Kudos to Ambode for the road he fixed in those locations I am sure 70% of roads in those locations are still in dire need of attention he should do more. He should not even be seen commissioning pedestrian bridges. If that is what we are celebrating 2017 what year do we build cities like Dubia, Capetown etc

Amarabae:
Nice one Abaribe.
How can the SE be excluded from the project?
This country is evil o.
May development continue to run away from its shores.

That is how development too will be running away from your chores. May you remain bitter till your grave. When your Biafra comes you can have all the rail you want.

igbozionism:
why will lagos have her own state managed oil company when non of the Niger delta states has none? I weep for this country

Who hold their destiny from constituting same office ?

SalamRushdie:
I never one day fell for Fashola propaganda ..I knew he was a corrupt fraud and regular Nigerian mediocre leader from day one ..

Fashole never celebrated building pedestrians bridges. It is crazy people like u are praising Ambode for this project. A single lekki home Fashola commissioned is of beta essence and value compare to this foot bridge. Abi una de mistake the word pedestrian for something else ni.

DieBuhari:
I didn't understand how well Fulani herdsmen collaborate with our security agencies until last week when soldiers blocked a full lane of Itobe Ajaokuta bridge for Fulani herdsmen to cross with their cows while forcing vehicles to cram themselves in the other lane. Soldiers controlling traffic for cows!
You need to see how messed up the bridges has been since that day with cattle faeces.

Igbo and lies. Anyway just like your name you are born to do it so no surprises there.

RichYoungNigga:
I don't even feel proud saying that I've been to South Africa

Come on, dumb fucck

18 year old boys go there to see Lions and giraffes

You probably should be proud when you finally travel to hell with your string of lies.

When they say Tinubu no good, Tinubu this and that, we can see the result of mandate given dubiously to the Saraki gang of APC. A set of cloned PDP masquerading as change element.

Indeed Tinubu no good but he is miles better than this class of rogues. His worse performing governor Aregbe never dared to ask workers to forgo their pay but spaced the pay for convenience till he is able to sort out state finances and gradually offset the owed salaries.

Nigerians mistake democracy as Eldorado but it is not. Democracy only offers the best of available options. If all the options you have is pathetic. The society must learn to chose poor performance over pathetic performance.

This Akeredolu will spend 8 yrs that Ondo state will regret just like they are now regretting the aftermath of Mimiko. Fayemi was not impressive but are Ekiti people regretting the aftermath of his 4 yrs ? How about that of Fashola ? What about Oshomole ?

Until the Nigeria society understand there's a difference btw poor and pathetic performance any state should enjoy the choice they made.

RichYoungNigga:

What??

Another national embarrassment

Is South Africa that cold ??

I've been to South Africa for a business meeting several times during the hot and cold season

It's even colder in Nigeria than in South Africa

Even in the USA where it snows heavily in the winters,
it's now summer and you can't walk outside​without melting

You can take someone out of the forest but you can't take the forest out of her

God bear me witness you have never visited South Africa except you are lying.

This day dreamer as started again today. This Ambode should transform Lagos to ordinary Alexandria instead of making noise daily in the media.

Are we not talking about Lagos that barely have 5 major highways that it can not manage without port holes here and there. These APC beta get to work and stop all the noise, it just sad PDP is not an option.

Be smart

Everyone says you are a fool on NL and you just keep acting a fool every now n then. Come on man grown a brain and stop acting a fool at least till you make it as a superstar which can then cover up for your unlimitless foolishness.

persius555:
Do you actually have proof that those guys were nearly lynched for drug peddling? What if they are found to be innocent Nigerians?

I doubt if they would be getting medical treatment if they were drug peddlers.

My prove is in the second paragraph of the text you quoted. If it walks like it, do like it, sounds like it and moves like it then it probably is. Being presumed innocent until proven guilt is a privilege that might be extended to those stigmatized as drug peddlers. Do enough to prove you are innocent instead of leaving doubts which may be misconstrued against you.

namet:
The question I want to ask Nigerians who think they must live in South Africa is: WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE IN THAT COUNTRY THAT DOESN'T EXIST IN NIGERIA? IS IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE WHITE PEOPLE THERE? WHY MUST YOU RISK YOUR LIFE TO LIVE IN SOUTH AFRICA, ANOTHER GODDAMN AFRICAN COUNTRY, FOR GOD SAKE?

Only the UK Germany France and maybe very limited area in Russia is beta developed than South Africa. SA is not an under developed country like Nigeria and am talking cities to cities unlike Nigeria where only Lagos n Abuja is barely developed.

lozanni:
Your reasoning is very primitive, because the underlying assumption I can detect from it is you are anti-Igbo and also support jungle justice. The law says everyone is innocent until proven otherwise. If we all take the laws into our hands, what kind of society are we going to get?
How about if there is miscarriage of justice and innocent people are wrongly attacked because they are Nigerians? A life wrongly taken can not be restored.

Being anti Igbo is not a crime especially when the same Igbo hates every other tribe in the world and calls them lazy. Jungle justice is always wrong and will always be wrong but it is what every society not as civilised as Europe n the USA result to just to help themselves and salvage their community when the policing machinery available is not adequate. Soon Igbo will claim Chinese are lazy I just watched a video of an Igbo man being lynched on the street of China. It's on front page if you care to watch too.

Am sorry my reasoning is very primitive but thank God that is not a crime in the Nigerian or Biafran constitution. You just stated the law say do not take the law into your hands but did the law not state do not do drugs ? Plus if you really care to know am a very huge fan of jungle justice to me as an African I believe being presumed innocent until proven guilt is too much of a burden to pay especially for those caught red handed . It just create an enterprise for lawyers and judges.

Here is an example to that claim if you are not a boko haram member do not move with them, do not dress like them and do not act like them. If you do all these and mistaken as one of them then am not sorry if you are stoned to death. Now applied this to assassins and armed robbers. Now replace the armed robbers with drug peddlers, am sure you figured those guys are lucky now because they should have been lynched to death. Africa is not Europe and it's not SA that perpetuated slave trade what excuse do you have to go and ruin their communities ?

Raine80:
Ditch the friend. Surround yourself with forward thinking people.

Na so queen diva.

toyinjimoh:
they said they were selling drugs , why can't they hand them over to d police instead of taking law into their hands..some south Africa need mental illness

Were those one selling drug also obeying the law ? If not why must they be protected by the law they refuse to obey in the first instance.

blackberlin:
Well, I've always been a strong anti-xenophobia agent on Nairaland, but with the rate of attack on Nigerians in S.A, one should really ask what the Nigerian ambassador to S.A is doing on this issue.

Even if you tell me these guys are drug dealers or fraudsters (their usual lame excuse for xenophobic attacks), are the citizens so lawless to be beating foreigners up all the time without the Police arresting them?

This is so unlawful. It's also a call to Nigerians to mind what they are doing abroad. We know so many Nigerians wanna make money by force and don't care how it comes, but don't kill yourself in another man's land because of fast money. Enough said! These people hate Nigerians, especially Igbos with a passion (trust me they know the different tribes).

They know the difference because they know the ones ruining their lives. The people peddling drugs ignored the law I think it is fair when the law is also ignored when lynched if there is enough evidence against them as in this case.

RichYoungNigga:

I've been to South Africa twice for a Business meeting

I just want to know, why would a Nigerian travel to South Africa and decide to live there

South Africans​ are the laziest and unintelligent people on earth

The white men took their land, killed them, imprisoned them and they're still slaves to the white men in their land

Tell me, have you heard that a white man was beaten in South Africa ?? It will never happen because they're still their slave master

I wanted to cry when i went to South Africa, South African women kneeling down to serve us at the hotel,
but they're cowards to confront the white men

Go to South Africa at your own risk

Please tell me are you Igbo ? I know if you are you will not like South Africa. I have been going to South Africa since 2009 and just got back this December. I move about freely everywhere from Jo'burg to Pretoria and had a road trip to Durban in company of other 4 Nigerians. I was not lynched.

The under belly factor which we all chose to ignore is the drug problem. Nigerian build drug cartels in SA using their girl to ship the drugs. They moved into building proustite cartels now. Nigeria chased Western Union n Money Gram from SA with fraud.

South Africa might be a developed city like Europe but never forget that they are Africans. There's that unseen Union of a community in every African which is absent in Europe that is why you see this people fighting to get rid of the evil of drugs plaguing their community. Nigerian are only caught in between the web because they are the channel through which the drug is distributed.

Xenophobic started without Nigerian being the major culprit now the battle as changed and it's only Nigerians that is being attacked daily. Plus am a Nigerian and South African is a million times beta than Nigeria and am talking in terms of all indices so naturally Nigerian will migrate over there just like we move to countries in European America n Asia so stop fooling yourself as to why you can not understand Nigerians move there. When you were there did you for once think about how you will get water, electricity, security etc and every other thing you need to provide for yourself here in Nigeria ?

Scatterscatter:
Ehya... So sad.
Now I can see what a professor your parents have raised.

Anyways, from your comment I can deduce you aren't very intelligent and mentally balanced if not, you'll know that every city has a master plan and any settlement that isn't legally established will be demolished sooner or later.
Mind you, government has the sole authority over the land and even structures with approved C of O can still be demolished just that they will be compensated.

Think with your head, not your stomach Mr Development.

Anyways, I'm still expecting to see the proof that the so called area you mentioned is now "Tinubu's property"

Like the lstc space that was coveted and master planned for Tinubu to build or sell to shoprite right ? I know what you are and will not waste my time debating someone who is deliberately being naive. I have come far enough to understand fools n intelligent people decide whatever they chose to believe so to you I leave with whichever works for you.

PenisCaP:
Lalasticlala obinoscopy rule number 2 CLEARLY broken here.
I hope u do justice.

You will be resting in peace very soon and i do not mean you dying. Just a long lease of break from this monicker. Trust me you need it , say 3-8 weeks.

Scatterscatter:
You know it Was Ambode that snapped the picture and uploaded it on nairaland.

Your mumu don mature

BTW: in not more than 70 words, explain the term "DEVELOPMENT" let's see how intelligent you are

How sad your parent must be to discover they waste a fortune educating you. Development is chasing people away from Otodo gbame only to convert it into another Tinubu's property. There you have, bet you are excited now ?

icedfire:
You apparently haven't been to Lagos before

Am quoting in reference to the future when Ambode would have finished his 8 yrs. The battles you refuse to fight today is in the cooler waiting for your children. I rarely leave the Island but I did last week and going from VI to Palm grove took four hours. Now am baffled I thought Ambode fixed all the traffic problem in Lagos.

I shared my experience because ordinarily i know what time to move around to avoid traffic but because of the noise of folks like you that praised Fashola and now singing Ambode anthem i wanted to share in the euphoria but i know beta. I am not just a Lagosian, am an indigene from Ikorodu I know Lagos clearly enough to understand Lagos barely has 3 major highways most built by the federal govt and with all the IGR generated by Lagos this edifice that should be a thing of pride can not maintained. In the 19 yrs of Tinubu and proxy rule by his stooges Lagos as not been able to build a single highway comparable with the likes of Ikorodi road or Oworonshoki express not to talk of third mainland bridge. We all know this generation will likely not be around to witness the 4th mainland bridge Ambode as been making noise about just like the Ekorail Fashola claim will be completed by 2012 and by 2017 it's still nowhere to be found.

Surely Tinubu and his crew should sacrifice more from their loot and grow this state for God sake. My cry should not be mistaken as wailing from the opposition. I am intelligent enoigh to know halve bread Tinubu is miles beta than what anything PDP can offer the state. APC should be charged to do more in Lagos not eulogized. Building a comic relief bridge in Ajah n Abule egba is no major achievement for a state like Lagos. Lagos need more of Lekki link bridge not this. Amosun already built 5 of such in Ogun state. Lagos needs to raise the bar with signature project seen in other great cities of the world.

Obi1kenobi:
The bottomline is until the South can forge an alliance, Northern hegemony is what we have to adjust to. The SS generally distrust and dislike Igbos. As for the SW, for me, the dislike and suspicion is stronger on the Igbo side. Yorubas are for the most part indifferent and aren't nearly as bitter as Igbos are. But the tragedy is the division in the South is what has strengthened the North. A united South could have even further consolidated their power by reaching out to form alliances with the Middle Belt, who distrust the core North.

You need to read this. I won't be going round in limbo sharing blames n bitterness. The entire South is in a limbo as to how to usurp power from the north. We claim to have the brain and the numbers but lack the initiative to make it happen.

I see people proffering way forward not whining about things that are not redeemable which is what so many of you Igbos with limited foresight do daily forgetting that is not the solition to the problem. Bro act like you have something to contribute to this discuss. If you do not shut it n stop polluting the space, let those with the mental capability to move us all forward do the talk.

Read n learn. I have been following the thread without polluting it. I can see Nigerians with the mental capabilities to bring about change based on ideas discuss. They are discussing how to make a bad system work. How to drill what could be beneficial to you and I from this quagmire called Nigeria. They are not demanding goal post change like you expected. No one deserves any favour, people like you need to learn to work within a bad system and learn to make it work please.

Igbos have always TRIED their best to play politics the Nigerian way. The sad truth is we are seen as a threat by others no matter what.

The Igbos under Zik formed a large part of the NCNC which formed a coalition government with the dominant northerners under the NPC, what happened? The northerners hatred for Igbos and Dan Fodio's ambition to dip the koran in the sea tore the government apart and the north raised a traitor from the SW called Akintola to help realise that ambition. Akintola was a rabid bigot whose hate speeches against Igbos are on Youtube for all to hear. The north using Akintola set the SW ablaze and declared a state of emergency there. It led to civil war as we all know.

Fast forward to Jonathan and the Igbos choice to "put their eggs in one basket" whatever that means. When the APC was being formed did you see any Igbo person on the Board of Trustees? Despite the mumuish devotion of Ogbonnaya Onu and the mercenary antics of Rochas the only Igbo person for a while was a muslim Igbo lady who was married to a fulani man. Did you see any attempts by the rest of the country to show the Igbos what they stood to gain from aligning with the APC? What did we get if not threats and insults. The northerners were reminding us of 1966 while our yoruba neighbours were telling us that their culture was closer to northerners than to ours. Check NL between 2011-2015 and you will see this trend. We had no choice than to go with Jonathan who if we really check him, presented a breath of fresh air from the usually repulsive South-South politician. Jonathan embraced Igbos, winning their hearts and guess what? Northerners and Yorubas hated him for that with all their hearts.

They way I see it, the north will only use the Igbos to checkmate the Yorubas when the Yoruba ambition needs to be smashed (like this period) but they are natural allies in an unwritten turn by turn alliance. I personally have no more faith in this country. The only politics I am interested in is the one that will grant Igbos a restructured Nigeria or a seperate country.

All these because a Yoruba is at the helm. What happened to the times Igbo formed alliances with the north to rule Nigeria ? Did you see the Yoruba whine up n down. Like one person said imagine if it was the Igbo that lost Abiola n his mandate Nigeria will be undergoing another civil war by now. Stop the victim mentality, it is annoying.

This Ambode is gradually turning out to be another media clown like Obiano, all noise with little to show on developmental level.

etchenwafor:
Where are you when an Igbo man chibuike ameachi was sponsoring buhari??Where are you when rochas was using money to sponsor buhari?The truth is we Igbo's have been wronged...Imagine I am from etche(igbo) LGA in rivers and my clan has been split into two because a mad man in the military government wanted to divide us..now we have etche in rivers and IMO...This went on to the extent that asaba an Igbo town was taken from us and added in another state infact this people wanted to divide us to the extent of lumping Igbo community's with other tribe to form states and even putting indeginous Igbo community in south south so we can never be united...Is it our fault!!

A lot of you Igbos need to be wise. Pls tell is Igbo the only ethnicity btw two states are hausa yoruba Ijaw, urhobo not sharing different states with other ethnicity in Nigeria. What is wrong with the brains of you Igbos for God sake ? I pray you Igbo do not perish because of foolishness.
