Lol, abeg ah neva wan die 4 laf. 9ja, fash n all, u cnt jst attain what took america 200yrs+ to attain 52yrs. Nt dat it is impossible buh u av 2 tk due consideration jst lyk YAYA BONI of benin republic did to cotonou. If u avnt bin dia b4, go n c 4 urself. Me dnt really suport Okada ban.

I would not say it is not merited or it is merited but from my own views, there is no Nigerian city as at now that merits such award.
Reason- the cities favors particular places. E.g lagos favors lagos island while Ikotun n igando and the likes r stil in mess. Anambra favors onitsha, nnewi while ihiala and the likes r stil in mess. Rivers favor ph while elele n d likes r stil in mess. Though they r getting there buh 4 nw, i dönt c it that way. Tk a look at johannesburg, u wud knw exactly what am trying to prove. Development should be based on equality also.
BTW, i live in Lagos. Dont insult, just quote where you dont agree and elaborate ön it for me to understanding or reason with you.

A fact is always a fact. I hate commenting on an Igbo-yoruba thread cos at the end, there is a tribal bashing.
BTW, The prof. above has said what he feels and what he thinks its right. Achebe also said what he feels and think is right. So did Soyinka. No one would ever give you a good account of what happened that started the war except 4 OJUKWU, GOWON and AWOLOWO. Unfortunately, two are dead. Jst Gowon is remaining. Everyone is trying to protect its own tribe so as not to be labelled imposter. Soyinka did and some yorubas insulted him. This prof also did and some Igbos insulted him. The thing here is that "in this world we are, expression of how we feel is not based on 'what if', simply express yourselve and try not to impress others cos at the end, you would be on a long thing". Biafra is a war that was fought because it wasnt to impress anyone but to express how certain south easterners feel. Nigeria fought also because it has to express how most Northerners and Westerners feel. Awo did what he did to Impress the people. So did Azikiwe cos he never wanted to join the war but because of the "imposter" thing. Ojukwu did so to express himself. Same to Achebe, Soyinka and This Prof. If you are here and on other threads insulting these people mentioned and taking sides of one, then you are doing it to impress them. Say your mind and be free than doing what at the end you would regret. As for me, "what happened in '67 is history" even though i lost aunts and uncles. Both Biafra and Nigeria made a mistake, so that mistake should be noted for the betterment of the future. If you are against the igbos, or the yorubas or the hausas or achebe, or awo, or ojukwu, or this prof, then you are on a long thing. Whether one is the cause of your downfall or not, move ahead. If you keep blaming, then you would remain on a standstill. If you know what you want, go for it. A word is enough for the Wise.

Congrats to his Eminence.
@logic boy and other atheist, have your reasons for not blivin in anything, I get it. But I pray that one day, you guys would have to change. Don't quote me please, only sent a message across.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Constitutions, historically has never been based on fairness and Equity, why? because those on claim equity must come with clean hands = right moral compass and I am sorry to say, humanity barely possesses that and is hugely lacking in Nigeria, and that is what Fashola is espousing.[/quote]Good point. Both had a point in their statements.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Again your example buttress my point. If those that drafted that law were living by the moral code of fairness and justice, then they would have known rightly that such a law is wicked as it discredit one and approves of another's wrong.
Put it in another way, even if that flaw was written in the law and the prefect never comes in late, if at all, the law in itself will be redundant -simple

RIGHT ATTITUDE is the watch word.[/quote]Not that i dont agree with the ATTITUDE thing but we all know that the constitution is not based on Equity and fairness. But wait o0, guy u harsh o0, u wud make a good lawyer fa.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]How can you have an agreed constitution if the people do not even realize in themselves that "fairness" to others is "justice" in itself? Is it not the lack of these moral values such as "fairness" that gave birth to the so called non-working constitution as acclaimed by Peter Obi? I my own opinion, Fashola is spot on, change your moral code before changing the letters of the law because if the 'spirit of the thinking' of the people is not right, the law may well be pronounced dead on arrival![/quote]Dont reason it on sentiments like the thread wants to put it but with simple logic. Ok let me make it simpler.
In a school where the law is "dont flog the prefects for coming late" but late coming is punishable with flogging. Now, a normal student comes late alongside a prefect and the student was flogged while the prefect was allowed to go in2 duh class. Without you reversing that law, you cant stop the prefect 4rm coming late since he wont be punished and if u punish him/her, u av gone against the law. Simple.

The two governors aint Wrong. Fashola's Opinion should come second after Obi's. The fact is that the Sincerety fashola wants from Nigeria would only be realised if all Nigerians agree to the constitution and for We Nigerians to agree to it, it must be based on equity and fairness. No one would want to be in a relationship where they both are regarded as equals but yet one eats only beans all the time and the other eats friedrice and salad. Its simple logic.
BTW, Fashola never said he disagreed with the amendment but his opinion should av been tabled later. Obi never disagreed with the sincerety Fashola wants but he just asked how will they get the sincerety when the constitution is nt based on equity n fairness.
Meanwhile, the topic is misleading.

U c wat i av bin layin emphasis on ko? I said all tribes have thieves but the thing is how you invest with such fraudulent cash. Uba stole n sold kero at N50naira while others like Otedola(A.P boss) sells at N135naira, is that not an investment so good?
Note- Am nt saying what he did was good o0

When 2015 comes, my vote still goes bk 2 GEJ cos 2ru awt other presidents tenure, i have never gotten 24hrs light. With this very visible achievement nd with fact that he still has 2yrz+ to 2015, then i expect more from him.
Note- i speak for myself alone.

Nice 1, browsed 2ru duh page n its nice. Would sign up in 24 to 28 hrs.

Lwkm, 9jarians eh.

I have always said it here on NL nd even opened a thread. 9ja Has HIV/AIDS, All tribes are sympathizers giving it remedy to last a little longer with the hope that a miracle will come and she would be healed. Unless we could change our ways, then that miracle will never come. HIV/AIDS has no cure yet so the death of 9ja is imminent. The igbos still remains the best in investment and development even if the source is fraud or real. The igbos wont watch n take orders from any1 cos they undastand that only God is superior. Humans are equals n there is nothing like superiority or inferiority. Most igbos has bad minds, Yes we know. But you cant change the igbos, they remain igbos n forever will.
Peace.

Lol, Thanks

BREAKING NEWS: Rihanna is pregnant and Chris is responsible.Rih anna, this morning admitted to being pregnant and said she is more than capable to take care of a child on her own. Rihanna came clean after confrontation by Chris’ girlfriend as to how it happened.
Rihanna Mmaduakor, a house help of Onitsha Anambra state, admitted to having an affair with her employer, Mr Chris Obi...lolz

OkwaIfugo: We are in Anambra state and to us this figures are bloated.
Please this is not census but flood haba.

So what do you think? Is Nema accurate or trying to make quick cash for themselves?

What kind of person is this sef?, @MOD, Operation barn PACKMAN for just a week abeg.
@post, God help us so that our leaders would do whats right for its citizens.

Aluulites. Una kill cun dy deny. Doz it means that all aluu indigenes r in diaspora wen it happened? Na syrians kil them 4 una soil ne?

Whats all the IGBO thing? Whatever is a fact and truth remains a fact and truth. Igbos are good in drugs, Yes we accept. Igbos are good in kidnapping, dadnapping, mumnapping, Yes we accept. Igbos are good in frauds, Yes we accept. But 1 thing is certian about Igbos and that is Investment, Creativity and lovers and makers of Development. Through out Nigeria and the World, Igbos are known for their Intelligence and Enthusiasm. Atleast Igbos could boost of 35-40% development of Nigeria. They are wise people who are good travellers. They create Union everywhere they go to promote their culture. Go Over to Virginia, Virgins Island, New york, Africa, parts of Asia, Europe and Australia and you would find them. The thing is that "NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY OR DO, YOU CANT CHANGE THE IGBOS", the more you try, the more they progress. In life, those that are successful are those that dont talk and criticize others and in the same vain, do things the way they can without listening to what people say about you. A word is enough for the wise.

Aluu is a land filled with abominable people who take pride in Killing. Imagine the foolish men and woman looking as 4 Innocent Students were killed right in front of them.

Aluu you will not know Peace!!!

A Strange Land "Aluu"
A Strange Land Aluu. Tell me what the name aluu means? I hear the sky whisper ‘abomination’ A strange Land- ‘aluu’.

A land I know not. The ground that never swallowed my placenta. A strange land I was sojourned.

The same sand I walked on. In the quest for knowledge. In the pursuit formental liberation, I met my end. The desired end I dreamt of was shattered by a people within.

I prayed for a fruitful day at dawn Instead I was offered a bitter tale. I struggled to but couldn’t tell. The same people within. Oh! How my blood turns cold in my helpless watch. My blood cried for hope as each stick hits my scalp Oh! Their scream for death suppresses my heart beat.

My unclothedness was made public with shame as my cover. My unclothedness meant nothing to me; all I cared was to be heard. All ears was deaf but the whispers of death. No hope is all I hear; helpless is all I see in the weakening lid of my friends.

Our soul paths in same way Mama, I cried for the love I felt. I outgrown again Papa, I yearned for your spank than these barbarians on me. Did God watch too or was heartbroken again for his own creation? Did mama feel her heart melt as I painfully transformed into a ghost?

Would my sin be matched with my own kind of death? This is my Golgotha. The machete to my head, the tyres around my neck, The scream from my soul, my joy and pain, my faith, My curse, my destiny, my forgiveness, my spit, my urine, my tears, my blood.

A land I know not, ALUU took it all Mama please do something Papa! Papa!! Papa!!! A strange Land took it all.

R.I.P!!!

cinammon: the spirit of d boys are definately not at rest..i think dats d reason for d publicity

The fire has finally been quenched by the fire fighters and the rain, No life was lost and only the market was affected. Thanks to God.

Pictures

We give thanks to God, Rain just began to fall now, helping the fire fighters to quench it.

The fire is much and extenting into De Palatables event center. Only two fire fighter tanks have arrived. LASTMA officials are now controlling the flow of traffic into the other lane. From what i have seen, the fire has already destroyed properties worthing over 100million Naira including the planks, foriegn made doors, zinks, structures e.t.c

Am at the site right now. The fire is seriously much, the fire brigade just arrived now. Would be updating you with pictures soon as i can get a clear view

DeLaRue: Oops...but people have been saying on nairaland that Yoruba, Hausa, Edo, Igbirra etc Billionaires are all crooks and their Igbo counterparts are all genuine, and industrious (yes o, that famous Igbo word!), with superhuman business brains etc

yeye people.

I always knew this man was an A GRADE crook. I saw him on TV few weeks ago walking with a Minister - honest, you would think he owned Nigeria the way he pumped his chest out, swaggering his arms all over the place. Ah, Igbos and misplaced arrogance!

And why did you believe them? The truth is that there is no tribe without stain. The only thing about it is how they use the money they got from fraud. So far i know, the igbos are better in investing whether fraud cash or not.
